Chapter 35 Chapter Thirty-Third

At this time, Song Runqing was delayed by something in Tianjin and hadn't come back. Mrs. Leng suddenly accepted these gifts again. She was really sorry, so she came here in person to thank her.Yin said: "Mr. Jin didn't let us know at all about his birthday last time. We seldom gave gifts and congratulations. At this moment, we are trying to take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to give away some extra things. You see, we still have a lot of things here. Not prepared, and you are so polite, just tell me that I can't make it through. Qingqiu's uncle is not at home, we can't even be a host." Yanxi smiled and said: "Auntie, don't say that, when Mr. Song is leaving, He also repeatedly urged me to take care of the family. But my father has asked me to study homework at home for a while, and I rarely come here." Mrs. Leng said: "There is an old Han in our place, and there are some things Then I can take care of it. If there is really something important, I will naturally ask for advice." Yanxi smiled and said: "I'm really fine, but I seem to be very busy. Otherwise, the weather is cold now, I should accompany my aunt to see Two plays." Mrs. Leng said: "I don't know much about plays, and it's a waste of money to listen to them. Qingqiu borrowed a chatterbox from a classmate's house now. It's open all day long, and I feel tired of listening to it. She is very It's delicious, open and open." Yanxi said: "I don't know Miss Leng likes this, I want to know, I have a very good chatterbox, I can give it to you. What kind of chatterbox did you borrow?" Mrs. Leng said "If it's all right, please come to my side to have a look. She's driving there now." Yanxi forgot all about Yufen's theater.Then he smiled and said, "Very good, I'll go over and talk too." So Mrs. Leng was in front, and Yanxi followed.The chatterbox was placed on a tea table at the entrance of the north room, Qingqiu held a small stool, hugged his knees with his hands, and sat under a tree to listen.On this day, the red jujubes on the tree, one ball after another, are surrounded by half-yellow leaves and hang down.Sometimes a small wind blows past, chopping, chopping, and a few dates will fall.At this moment, with a bang, something hit Qingqiu on the head.The hair was loose, and the thing fell and went straight into the hair of the person.Qingqiu rubbed his head with his hands and said: "Aiyo! What is this?" He took out his hand, took it out and saw that it was a jujube, and threw it away.This throw was impartial, and it happened that Yanxi raised her hand and threw it inside his shirt sleeve, and Yanxi pinched it with her hand.He stretched it out and saw that it was a red date, so he smiled at Mrs. Leng behind her and hid the date in the bag.Unintentionally, Qingqiu picked up such a bargain for Yanxi.Because mother was in front of her, she still nodded with Yanxi.Yanxi said: "I didn't know that Miss Leng liked listening boxes. I wanted to know that I had sent them over a long time ago. My chatterboxes are full of opera films. If one comes out, I'll buy one. But at home, one The moon is hard to open once." Qingqiu said with a smile: "Probably this is true, I have never heard of it. Otherwise, if it is in my heart, why didn't I mention it to me?" Yanxi laughed: " That's right, the sword is given to the martyr, and the red powder..." Yanxi thought about it, the red powder is given to the beautiful woman, this sentence is a bit abrupt, and he said: "When you come across this kind of thing, you should give it to your lover." Mrs. Leng said: "Hey Yo! The chatterbox is broken." Listen, it turned out that the film had already been transferred, but there was only a rustling sound.Only then did Qingqiu rush forward and shut the gate.Qingqiu said: "Is it broken? If it's broken, I can't afford to pay for it." Yanxi laughed and said, "This is a very limited thing, why bother to say such things?" Qingqiu looked carefully, but fortunately there was no damage , So I took the record and put the chatterbox on.Yanxi laughed and said: "Why? Don't you sing?" Qingqiu said: "The guest is here, you can stop singing." Yanxi said: "What kind of guest am I? Sometimes I come several times a day." Qingqiu He didn't pay attention to Yanxi's words, and went into the house by himself.After a while, she brought out two large glass plates.When Yanxi looked at it, one plate was sliced ​​tender and fragrant lotus root, and the other plate was red sugar paste, wrapped in many small balls. It was impossible to tell what it was, but it looked like candied fruit.Qingqiu pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Mr. Jin can't even see this before." When he said that, he took out two small white copper forks and put them on the table, because he said: "Please taste it, you will know "Yanxi always likes to eat something refreshing, but she doesn't want to eat something so muddy.But Qingqiu told him to eat, he had to eat, so he took a fork, put a small ball on the fork, and ate standing up.Once in the mouth, it is powdery and sweet, and has some sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance.He smiled and said: "I see, this is the candied taro that people in Suzhou eat. I haven't tasted it for many years, so I can't remember it." Qingqiu said: "I guessed it, but I didn't guess it completely. The taro is just sugar, but mine is different, in addition to replacing the sugar with white sugar, I also added chestnut powder, lotus seed powder, orange shreds, tangerine peel plum, and sweet-scented osmanthus sugar, so this sugared taro has some value." Yanxi smiled and said, "I don't know about such a treasure. I really don't know its taste after eating it. I'll try it again." When he said that, he forked another small taro and ate it.Qingqiu said with a smile: "This probably tastes good." Yanxi said: "Very good, very good, but this way of eating, it becomes Jia's eating eggplant rolls. This taro is not worth anything. Material, if it is too valuable." Qingqiu said: "So there is no such method, it is a new method I thought of." At this time, Mrs. Leng had just entered the inner room.Yanxi smiled and said: "I think this is specially made for me to eat, thank you! But how do you know I will come today?" Qingqiu pursed her lips and smiled: "I haven't come for two days, I guess you don't care I have to come today." Yanxi frowned and said, "Since the summer vacation, you have to go to school, and I have been watched by my family again, so I can't go out all day, and I am much stranger. You don't know, I said to my father, the house here I have already resigned." Qingqiu said: "I think you are a bit romantic, since you can't live outside, why do you rent the room next door?" Yanxi smiled and said: "What don't you understand? If I don't rent The room next door, when I come to your house, I will drive the car all the time, there are too many..." Speaking of this, I looked back and saw that Mrs. Leng hadn't come out.Yindao: "I'm afraid that my aunt is overhearted." Qingqiu said: "Why are you so overhearted? You expect her to be a fool. Look at how much she loves you, is she willing to be an outsider?" Yanxi said: "Although you say so , but going straight to the point is not good after all. I want to avoid getting more and more unfamiliar. I

Suddenly, the bell rang three times, and Yanxi suddenly remembered that she had invited someone to listen to the play. At this time, if she pretended not to pay any attention, Yufen must be cursing herself to death at home.Then I asked Mother Han for a hand towel to wipe my face, and said with a smile, "I forgot to talk. A friend made an appointment at one o'clock. Now it's three o'clock, and I'm still here. Is it bad?" Next door, there were repeated voices, urging the car to go to the Republican stage.He got in the car, took out his watch, and looked at the street.Finally got it in a hurry, jumped out of the car and walked upstairs to the box.I thought in my heart, I asked Jin Rong to book a box, and I don't know if he has been here?If not, the third sister-in-law must have hit a snag first and went back, and I will be taught a big lesson.He went all the way to the back of the second compartment, looked around, but couldn't see his family members.Today, I finally lost faith in this matter. I stood there for a while, then turned around and was about to leave. Just when I was about to turn around, I suddenly felt that someone was pulling the skirt of my clothes. When I looked back, it was Bai Xiuzhu.It turned out that my back was facing No. 1, and Yufen was in No. 1. Here, it was her and Xiuzhu, with Qiuxiang and an old lady.So Yanxi didn't pay attention to see it, and when he saw it at this moment, he didn't have time to detour, so he crawled over on the lattice fan of the box.Yufen said: "Huh! You are a good person. I said I would like to invite someone. It is only at this time. If we hadn't arrived first, where would there be a seat?" Yanxi laughed, and before she said anything, Xiuzhu had gone to the right. Give up my own chair to Yanxi.Although Yanxi didn't want to sit with Xiuzhu in front of Yufen.But he had already given up his seat, and if he didn't sit down, he felt that he would lose face, so he had to pretend to be indifferent, flipped off the bottom of the long gown, and sat down casually.Xiuzhu poured a cup of tea from the teapot on the railing and placed it in front of Yanxi.Yanxi stretched out her hand to support the cup, and said thank you.Yufen smiled and said: "You are really not ashamed, today is your business, you should have booked a box a long time ago, come here first, and wait for us. It's fine if you don't come, you should call someone to buy a box first But you ignored it and went to play with yourself. The show is almost over, so you come slowly. You don’t apologize when you come, just sit down like this. You think sister Xiuzhu is pouring tea for you What do you drink? You know, she is used to you." Yanxi looked at Xiuzhu and said, "Is that so?" Just as she was about to ask this question, Xiuzhu said with a smile, "It's kind of me to pour tea, but it's not This kind of thinking. Cousin only cares about weird people and buried my favor." Yufen said: "In this way, he should be late?" Xiuzhu said with a smile: "I'm not saying that he should, but you Blame him, you can’t put my matter together.” Yufen turned her face away, looked at the stage, and said, “I won’t say anymore, you have two mouths, I only have one mouth, how can I win you? What?" Xiuzhu said it unintentionally, but Yufen was a little annoyed by the way it looked, so she had no choice but to stop talking and cast a wink at Yanxi.Yanxi smiled and said, "Damn me, I always ignore my words and deeds. After listening to the play, I'll be a little host, as an accompaniment. What do you think?" When she said that, she poured a cup of tea and handed it over with both hands.Yufen laughed and said, "Why are you doing this? Is it as accompaniment?" Yanxi smiled and said, "Come on! What are you still thinking about this matter! The good show is on the stage, let's just listen to the show." When Yufen looked on the stage , it was "Snow in June" that came on stage. It was a complete comedic drama, which Yufen loved to listen to, so she stopped discussing it with Yanxi.

When the play "Exploring Mother" started, Chen Yufang pretended to be a princess and went on stage. Yanxi couldn't help clapping her hands inside the sound of the door curtain.Xiuzhu smiled at Yanxi and nodded again.Seeing that Yufen was engrossed in watching, Yanxi took out the diary and pencil from her shirt pocket.With a pencil, she wrote in the notebook: "This man is a friend of the third brother. I have to applaud a few times." Xiuzhu took the diary, turned over a page, and wrote three large characters: "I don't believe it." , Yanxi smiled.Yanxi took the notebook again and wrote: "He has a row of seats in the third row downstairs, and he must come to the show. Today, because Yufen's wife is here, he avoids suspicion. Look, the third row Aren't there two empty seats? In any case, there is one seat that must be empty all the time, and that is the third brother's seat. This proves that you can believe that I am not lying." Xiuzhu took over and wrote: " Really? I'll ask her." Yanxi was in a hurry, and said a word in a hurry, "No way!" As soon as Yanxi said it, she felt imprudent again, and quickly stretched out her hand to cover her mouth.But when the two of them were writing, Yufen didn't know it, and thought they were talking about love with a pencil, but she didn't care about him, and looked at them with the corners of her eyes slightly.Seeing that the two of them were paying attention to themselves, while Xiuzhu was writing and Yanxi was reading, he took a peek at the diary and asked her a word.Followed by Yanxi's remark that she can't do it, which is very suspicious.Yin said: "What can't be done?" Yanxi was at a loss for what to do, and couldn't tell why for a moment.Seeing that he couldn't explain why, Yufen focused all her energy on Yanxi's face.Yanxi accosted her with a smile and said, "Third sister-in-law always thinks that I know this Chen Yufang on the stage. In fact, we only met a few times in the banquet venue, and he gave me a fan." Yufen said: "You If you're not asking yourself, and I didn't ask you these things, why did you say it yourself?" Yanxi wanted to argue, but Xiuzhu said: "Stop talking, just listen, when it's time to listen, talk about it This kind of irrelevant question." Yufen smiled and said, "You are always thinking about him." Let alone, after watching the play, Yanxi will play host to invite Yufen to dinner.Yufen said: "I'm very tired, go home. If you want to invite me, please invite me tomorrow." Yanxi said: "Since I don't want to be the host, I will go somewhere else, and I won't send you home. It's gone." Yufen said: "You just go with sister Xiuzhu, I'll go home alone." Xiuzhu smiled and said: "Don't wrong people, I don't have any date with Qiye." Yanxi smiled and said: "I I didn't invite her." Yufen said: "That's what the two of you said. Xiuzhu don't go back, go to my house for dinner." After speaking, she took Xiuzhu's hand and got into the car all the way.Yanxi kept looking at Xiuzhu, telling her to keep the diary a secret.Xiuzhu also knew what he meant, and nodded with a smile.

Yufen is aware of their actions.When the car drove away, Yufen smiled and said to Xiuzhu: "What kind of negotiation do you have with Lao Qixin?" Xiuzhu said: "There is no negotiation, it's just a joke." Yufen said: "There is nothing that cannot be made public when you say a joke Yes, why are you sneaking around like that?" Xiuzhu laughed and said, "We did this on purpose to tease you." Yufen said, "Sister, do you think your sister is a fool? Do you think I don't know anything about it?" Is it?" Xiuzhu said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you know it. They're just playing around when they play the role. What's more, why should you pay attention to the fact that a man is a man?" Yufen didn't point at Yan Said it was weird.Thinking of Yanxi's furtiveness with Pengzhen when she was talking to her in the morning, it seems that there is something wrong with it.She had an idea, so she followed her tone and continued, "Whether they favor male or female roles, what do I care about him? But why should he treat these opera singers as playthings for you? It’s not for your money? So thinking about it, you must spend a lot of money. If you have money, you have to spend it to your heart’s content. If you spend money like this, you will inevitably be wronged, so why bother? I like to play, but I spend money on my face, and I don’t waste it. It’s not like ours, who is a bucket of injustice.” Xiuzhu said: “The third master is even smarter, is he willing to spend money for injustice? When it comes to listening to opera, it is very limited, and it only costs 20 to 30 yuan to listen to it every day. If you are idle, playing cards with a base of 200 yuan for two or three hours may cost a few hundred yuan. Is it much better?" Yufen laughed and said, "Do you know how they spend their money?" Xiuzhu thought, I don't want to go on, she is just talking, and she wants to expose the inside story completely. I told her that she and Pengzhen had a quarrel, and that's nothing to do with it, but Yanxi knew that I was the one who said it, so she must say I'm troublesome, so why bother!Yin laughed and said, "I don't hold the role, I know how their money is spent?"

Having said that, the car stopped and had already reached the gate of Jin's house.Xiuzhu said with a smile, "I just left your house, and now I'm here again. Your porter will laugh when he sees it." Yufen laughed and said, "My house will soon become your house. , sooner or later, I will go here, come here." When Xiuzhu heard Yufen's words, she made it very clear, and refused to continue.Yin said: "Go back, I want to talk to your eighth sister." Yufen said: "Go to my place and ask someone to find her. Now, where are you going by yourself? Looking for her?" Xiuzhu said: "I will always find her, so you don't have to worry about it." As soon as she turned around the screen door, Xiuzhu turned to the west, but she ran into Pengzhen.Peng Zhen smiled and said: "Mi Sibai is back. Is the show good?" Xiu Zhu said with a smile: "It's all good. The third master's row is vacant today. Why don't you go?" Peng Zhen heard her say, I was taken aback.Yin asked: "Where is my seat? I don't know." Xiuzhu smiled and said: "I know everything, what is the third master hiding? But this is only in my heart, I will never I told Sister Yufen." Peng Zhen was wearing a suit and it was difficult to bow, so he raised the palm of his right hand to match his forehead, and saluted.She smiled and said: "Excuse me! Excuse me! Actually, it doesn't matter, but she has a bad mouth. As soon as she finds out, she breaks the sand jar and asks the end. It's really helpless." Xiuzhu laughed: "Since it doesn't matter, then I'll just tell her." Peng Zhen shook his head again and again and laughed, "You can't, you can't, why bother!" Xiuzhu laughed and said, "Since you won't let me talk, then you have to invite me." Peng Zhen laughed and said: " Mi Sibai is so powerful, I took the opportunity to enter, but it's nothing to do, Mi Sibai asks me to invite me, and I will obey." As he spoke, he walked with Xiuzhu, and accompanied her to the door of the second aunt's wife's room. She went in and then came out.Passing through a heavy door, I saw Li Sheng, the footman, holding a huge foreign-style envelope in his hand.Peng Zhen asked, "Is it my letter?" Li Sheng said, "No, it's an invitation card, so I can't send it inside." He smiled at this point.Peng Zhen took the invitation and opened it to see, but it was Hua Yuxian's name, and Liu's house was set up.The date is marked at 7:00 pm on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month.Peng Zhen said to himself with a smile: "This old Liu will be happy. He won't show up and use Hua Yuxian as a cover." Because he asked Li Sheng, "When was it delivered?" Li Sheng said, "It was in the morning. It was sent here. As soon as I saw the name on the invitation, I didn't dare to take it in." Peng Zhen said: "Is it sent by Liu Erye?" Li Sheng said: "There is another invitation, It's for Master Qi, and it's already been delivered." Peng Zhen piled up the invitations and put them on his body, saving them for discussion with Yanxi.

That night, when Yanxi came back and saw an invitation on the table, she rang the bell to call Jin Rong in and asked when it was delivered.Jin Rong said: "This is from Li Sheng, I don't know." Yanxi said: "It's not just this post that was sent to our house, right? He couldn't even invite me, the third master." Speaking of this , Peng Zhen continued outside, "Don't yell, don't yell." As he spoke, he pushed in the door.Yanxi said: "It's really unique. It's clearly Lao Liu's treat. How can Hua Yuxian become famous? This guy is afraid that we won't come, so he made a fool of himself." Peng Zhen said: "I don't think he dares. He has been wronged. How can we let him go if we go to his house and we can't even pass the festival?" Yanxi said: "Are we still going according to the time? I think we have to perfunctory at home for a while. If the elder brother doesn't come back, then Maybe. The second brother just got into an argument with the second sister-in-law. If we are not at home, how can we look good?" Peng Zhen said: "If we go home after dinner, it will be ninety o'clock Why don't you wait for the guests invited by Lao Liu." Yanxi said: "We will inform him first, and prepare snacks for the guests to eat first, so it doesn't matter." Peng Zhen said: "I don't know what he invited. What kind of customers, it's not easy to say. The repeat customers are all here, and we are waiting for the two of us to go. They must scold us for putting on airs. It's better for us to go earlier." Yanxi said: "Go, but Hua Yuxian wants to make a big deal out of us, that's your fault, I won't ask." Peng Zhen laughed and said, "You just said it so bluntly, and I've met you a few times in total, why did I talk to you? What do you want? Besides, she will never ask you for anything in front of me, don't worry." As soon as Hua Yuxian was mentioned, Peng Zhen boasted about the benefits and was reluctant to leave.After a while, the cook brought the food in a suitcase, and put bowl by bowl on a table near the window.When Peng Zhen looked at it, a bowl of fried three kernels was chestnuts, lotus seeds and walnut kernels, a bowl of stewed cloud legs, a dish of cold abalone and asparagus, and a dish of bad chicken.Peng Zhen smiled and said, "It's very refreshing." Jin Rongzheng took out a pair of tooth chopsticks, wiped them with a white towel, and put them on the table.Yin said with a smile to Peng Zhen, "Third Master, try a chopstick." Sure enough, Peng Zhen took the chopsticks and ate a piece of abalone.Because he said to the cook, "I'll add two more dishes, so I'll eat here." The cook said, "The third master's meal has been sent to the inner yard." Pengzhen put down his chopsticks, tilted his head and asked the cook: "Are you the boss or the buddy?" The cook knew he was about to hit a wall, so he dared not make a sound.Peng Zhen said: "I don't eat you for free. I tell you to come here, and you come here. I don't want to eat the food inside, so I save it for you. Isn't it good? People say that opening a restaurant is not afraid of getting pregnant." Han, I think you look a little different." Yanxi smiled and said, "Hey! What are you talking about with him? Let Jin Rong tell you what kind of food you want." Jin Rong said, "What does the third master want to eat? " Peng Zhen said: "Anything can be done, as long as it is fast, don't you see me waiting here to eat?" Jin Rong put away the dishes and went away with a smile.After a while, he was holding a tray, and brought a bowl of roasted knuckles, a plate of roast duck, and a large plate of steamed buns with chicken hearts.Peng Zhen smiled and said: "You know my temper very well. But this time I guessed wrong. I saw refreshing dishes, so I wanted to eat refreshing food." Jin Rong said: "Or, take it and change it." While speaking , Peng Zhenzao pouted a steamed bun dipped in the thick sauce of the hoof, and took a bite.Pointing at Yanxi with a steamed bun, he said, "Very good, don't you want to eat one?" Yanxi said, "Forget it, I'm afraid it will be greasy." So he took a piece of roast duck with chopsticks and chewed it in his mouth.He smiled and said, "This roast duck is very good. Did our cook make it himself?" Jin Rong said, "It's still hot, so it was made at home." Yanxi said, "Tell him, cook a big duck for me tomorrow." Yes, well cut, onion slices and sweet sauce are all ready. I will also bake forty pancakes." Peng Zhen said: "Who are you going to invite? A big duck, and forty pancakes, This is not enough for one or two people to eat." Yanxi said: "It's not a treat, I'll give it away." Pengzhen said: "Baba gave someone a duck, what does that mean?" Yanxi said: "It is so It doesn't matter if you know someone very well." Peng Zhen said: "Who is the person you know very well?" Seeing that he had half a slice of steamed bun in his hand, Yanxi only dipped his hand on the table, his eyes were fascinated by the person.Yanxi laughed and said, "What's the value of paying attention to this? Why do you think about it? You see, the oil juice on the table has been soaked." Peng Zhen smiled and threw the steamed buns away, saying: "I guessed, Anyway, it's not a boyfriend. Without that boyfriend, he has the qualifications to accept your gift." Yanxi said: "Whoever it is, it's a very small matter, don't ask."

Peng Zhen felt that this matter was very clear in his heart. If Yanxi didn't say anything, it was an open secret, so there was no need to talk about it.After eating and talking for a while, they walked back to the yard, and saw Xiuzhu and Yufen standing in the yard chatting.Yin said: "Mi Sibai, didn't you go to find Meili just now?" Xiuzhu said: "I chatted there for a long time, and Sister Yufen came to ask me for dinner. We haven't seen you for a long time. Master ate outside, so we didn’t wait any longer.” Peng Zhen smiled and said, “I saw that Lao Qi’s dish was good, so I ate there by the way. Mi Sibai, I’ll give you a message, tomorrow You have roast duck to eat." Xiuzhu smiled and said, "Who invited me to eat roast duck? I can't guess. Probably the third master invited me?" Yufen said: "He! He is not that generous. He doesn't ask for help, he doesn't take out any money "Peng Zhen said with a smile: "Based on what you say, am I still a human being? This is not my bragging. Two hours ago, when I met Mi Sibai, I promised to invite her. This can't be Lie? I can’t lie to my face.” Yufen said: “It’s a very small matter to invite someone to eat a roast duck, and it’s worth such a boast.” Peng Zhen said: “You guessed wrong again. This is not I invite Mi Sibai, and someone else invites her. I don't need to mention this person." Yufen laughed and said, "Lao Qi is also a child, so what's the point of giving someone a roast duck for nothing?" Peng Zhen said : "That's what I said. Because I was there, the cook brought another plate of roast duck. Lao Qi tasted a piece and said it was good, so he remembered that he wanted to give Mies white duck to eat." Yufen smiled at Xiuzhu Said: "Hey! Lao Qi treats you really well, no matter what, I will never forget you." After hearing this, Xiuzhu felt happy in her heart, but she was a little embarrassed after all.Then he said: "This is a joke from the third master. Do you believe it?" Peng Zhen said: "It's not a big gift. Why should I lie? If you don't believe it, you can ask Lao Qi." Yufen said with a smile: " I haven't heard of people asking people to give gifts first. Do you think sister Xiuzhu has never eaten roast duck and is waiting to eat?" Everyone laughed again.Xiuzhu believed it was true, and only thought that Yanxi really wanted to give her a roast duck, and went home happily that night.In the morning of the next day, I was waiting for the roast duck to be eaten. It was not delivered until one o'clock.Xiuzhu thought to herself, she couldn't make it in the morning, so she must have delivered it in the evening, so let's go out to play, and then come back for dinner.But when it was time for dinner, there was still no roast duck.She wondered in her heart that either Pengzhen was lying or Yanxi forgot about it.Yanxi was originally a person with a head but no tail, so forget it, don't worry about it.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiuzhu came to Jin's house to play. When she was walking in the corridor, there seemed to be a cook in front of her, talking to the servant.He said: "The guy who sent the roast duck to Qiye the day before yesterday has not been brought back yet. Excuse me, big brother brought it back for us. We don't know where it is. After a long time, maybe it will be lost." Xiuzhu After hearing this, it was clear that Yanxi asked the cook to roast a duck, but she didn't give it to herself.At that time, I felt uncomfortable.For some reason, I went to Yanxi's study.It happened that Yanxi was at home, so it was natural to deal with it for a while.Xiuzhu said: "I've been very tired these days, and I don't want to go out. But I'm bored at home. Do you have any good novels? Lend me two to read." Yanxi smiled and said, "You also borrow books. It’s a rare day to read it, there are some!” So ​​I found a few vernacular romance novels in the bookcase, and handed them all to Xiuzhu.Xiuzhu folded the book and put it under her ribs, as if she was about to leave.Yanxi laughed and said, "Are you really working hard? If you don't sit still for a while, you will leave." Xiuzhu said: "It's not that I work hard, I'm afraid I'll disturb you here." Yanxi smiled and said, "What are you bothering me? I don't do anything, and I don't study." Xiuzhu said with a smile: "You let me sit here, but I'm so greedy, you have to give me something to eat." Yanxi said: "That's not easy, what do you want to eat? I'll ask someone to buy it right away." Xiuzhu smiled slightly and said, "I want to eat roast duck." Yanxi blushed suddenly when she heard this, but she still pretended not to know.He also laughed and said: "It's so good, why do you want to eat roast duck?" Xiuzhu said: "You can't eat it if it's so good, why do you give it away?" Yanxi said: "Whose roast duck did I give it?" Xiuzhu said: " Can you say that I wronged you?" Yanxi said: "You really have a good ear. I asked the cook to roast a duck the day before yesterday and gave it to some friends in the poetry club. How do you know?" Xiuzhu She curled her mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense, which poet friend do you think so highly of? You even gave him roast duck." Yanxi smiled and said, "According to you, who did you give it to?" Xiuzhu said "How would I know what you did? But when it comes to how you used to be, you wouldn't be so polite to your boyfriend."
