On the day of Bai Qihong's birthday, it had just fallen into the night, and the lanterns outside the Juxintang teahouse were half red; the stage in the center of the lobby had been set up early, with ten peach wood armchairs placed under the stage, and water flowed in and out.
The servants put the fruits and desserts on tall enamel plates and placed them on the small table next to the chair.
Bai Qihong took his seat with his wife.
Because he is the birthday boy, he sat in the chief position today, facing north and south, which is Chinese tradition.
On the right side of Hua Ting is Jian Yi, who is wearing a dark suit, and then there is Jian Maosheng, who is equally well-dressed, and Mrs.
Jian, who is wearing a very gaudy red and pink color scheme.
Today, Bai Qihong did not engage in pomp and ceremony, and only invited three people from the Jian family, but What makes her wonder is why Chen Jingzhi is here again Seeing the mean look on Mrs.
Jian's face, Mrs.
Bai seemed much gentler and more pleasing to the eye.
Today, Mrs.
Bai is wearing a festive Chinese peach red coat with a slanted front.
She has done her makeup carefully, with rouge lightly smeared on her cheeks.
She has an old jade hairpin that she doesn’t usually wear next to her bun, with a red lantern printed on it.
The colors become more and more gorgeous and attractive.
Look, bringing such a dignified and dignified wife out will give you more face.
Hua Ting took a mouthful of sugar-steamed cheese and narrowed her eyes slightly.
Shi Yin'ai in the stands was ready.
As soon as the board was struck and the strings were pulled, the play on the stage began to sing leisurely.
A beautiful swordsman Danfeng with colorful makeup stared at her and started singing with her embroidered voice.
As soon as she opened her mouth, her voice was slightly low, and everyone Only then did we find out that the actress in red dress was actually a fake.
Bai Qihong specially invited the opera troupe of the Gujia Ancestral Hall to sing three plays at the Juxintang Tea House, not for any other reason, but because he just liked the Mu Guiying in charge of the opera troupe of the Gujia Ancestral Hall.
This little stubbornness was actually a big deal.
Similar to her great-grandfather.
Shi Yin'ai walked slowly to the edge of the stage and blinked almost inaudibly at Jian Yi, who was directly in front of him.
Jian Yi looked at the familiar face and chuckled in surprise.
Shi Yinai covered his lips with silk and sang softly.
Hua Ting just wanted to roll her eyes.
Bai Qihong was closing his eyes and shaking his head to read the text carefully.
When he heard his laughter, he also took a closer look at the female actor on the stage.
After looking at it for a long time, he asked, "Is this the movie star?"
"Well, it's called Shi Yin'ai."
Jian Yi replied.
"You know" "It's a bit of a friendship."
Bai Qihong nodded, turned the sapphire finger on his thumb with his right hand, and said: "You are born well."
After a pause, he turned his head and said to the steward who was accompanying him: "Reward."
The butler responded with a smile, and then shouted in a long tone toward the table: "Reward!"
Before he finished speaking, there were several boys waiting under the stage with trays of broken coins.
They grabbed a few handfuls of broken coins and threw them on the table.
In the courtyard illuminated by red candles, there were loud cheers and cheers as the coins rolled.
There was a muffled sound of bones falling on the wooden platform.
In such a bustling atmosphere, Hua Ting drank Taoyuan wine and turned her head to look at the light in Jian Yi's smile, feeling a little tipsy.
"Why haven't you seen the young apprentice next to Brother Bai recently?"
Jian Maosheng's face turned red, obviously he had drunk a lot of wine.
"Give him a long vacation," Bai Qihong said, already downing three glasses of white wine, "I went traveling with my wife."
I want to roll my eyes when I listen to the sightseeing tour.

Obviously, I received news a while ago that Director Qian secretly sent people and even used private detectives to secretly investigate the murder of President Yang Xiaoquan.
Bai Qihong asked Ding Sicheng to go out to avoid the limelight.
Why did Bai Qihong come to his mouth?
Then I gave him a long vacation and went on a honeymoon.
Jian also didn't understand much about Chinese opera.
While drinking a glass of white wine, she thoughtfully added two pieces of her favorite braised pork ribs to the bowl of Huating.
This action was noticed by Mrs.
Bai, who rarely made a joke: "Ever since Hua Ting married Jian Yi, she forgot to go home and see my mother."
The words were offensive, but the smile was gentle.
"Isn't it?"
Jian Maosheng agreed with a smile, "My son has never come home to see me since the day he got married."
Jian Yi hugged Hua Ting's shoulders affectionately, with a loving look on his face.
Shi Yin'ai, who was on the teaching platform, had just reached an emotional point when he sang, when his soft and moist voice got stuck at the turn of the note, but fortunately it didn't.
People pay attention, but Hua listens carefully.
Everyone was laughing, but Mrs.
Jian's smile was awkwardly fixed on her lips.
She didn't speak, but paused slightly while holding the tea cup with three fingers.
Hua Ting thought that she would not be stupid enough to mention Jian Yi's concubine on such an occasion, but she unexpectedly guessed it.
"A few days ago, we were planning to let Jian Yi take another concubine."
Before Mrs.
Jian could finish her words, she was interrupted by Jian Maosheng, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Bai Qihong was picking up a piece of jade bean cake on the table.
Hearing these words, his face darkened, "Concubine."
Mrs.
Jian is a talkative person, and her cheerful tone has not stopped: "Yes, I think Jian Yi and Jingzhi have been playing together since they were young, and they are childhood sweethearts, plus two people."
"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?
You're confused about concubinage."
Jian Yi's hand under the table tightly grasped Hua Ting's cold and slender right hand hanging on the side of her leg.
Before Mrs.
Jian could speak, she heard the celadon teapot on the other end being gently placed on the table.
Bai Qihong raised his eyebrows and said in a calm tone: "Why does the Jian family have such a rule?"
Jian Maosheng explained with a helpless smile: "Don't listen to her nonsense, maybe it's because Madam drank too much."
A hand under the table kept exerting force on Madam Jian's thigh to make her shut up. .
"And I like Sister Hua so much, how could I marry another woman?"
Jian Yi's eyebrows slightly arched, his smile was true and bright, he tilted his head to face Hua Ting, his eyes full of affection, "You think so, Sister Hua?"
" Hearing Jian Yi say these words mercilessly, Chen Jingzhi's wrist sank, and the gold bracelet engraved with pear blossoms fell heavily and got stuck on her wrist bone.
It actually hurt a little, and she died instantly.
As he thought about speaking, he lowered his head.
Since when, Jian Yi's little words of love penetrated into Hua Ting's heart easily, making her heart beat gently.
Her right hand unconsciously touched the ring on the ring finger of her left hand, as if a Inadvertently it fell to the ground.
Bai Qihong's face finally looked better, but Mrs.
Jian still didn't appreciate it: "It's normal for us, Jian Yi, to have a concubine.
What's wrong?"
Bai Qihong's face darkened again.
Hua Ting was speechless.

This Mrs.
Jian's emotional intelligence is really low.
Look at Mrs.
Bai's dignified and elegant appearance.
She is not coquettish or pretentious, but her movements are elegant and gentle.
She smiles quietly when she is not talking, and her eyes are like spring water when she speaks.
Her eyes always look at you tenderly, and her voice is more like overflowing from an ancient well, flowing smoothly into your heart.
Jian Maosheng stood up holding back his anger, and restrained his voice extremely to prevent himself from roaring: "You'd better go home first" lest a birthday party be ruined by this stupid lady for no reason.
Mrs.
Jian picked up her small leather bag and stood up, not forgetting to pull Chen Jingzhi beside her, "Jian Maosheng, don't regret it."
"Let's go, let's go."
Jian Maosheng seemed not to want to look at her again.
"Don't regret it" "Let's go, let's go quickly."
Jian Maosheng pushed her twice from behind with extreme impatience.
"Okay, don't regret it."
Mrs.
Jian raised her head and puffed up her chest, "I'll leave now."
Before leaving, she didn't forget to turn her head and glare at her.
What kind of farce is this?
Hua wanted to laugh when she heard it, but found that Jian Yi on the side shook her head helplessly.
Bai Qihong stretched out his hand expressionlessly to take the cigarette from Jian Maosheng and threw it aside, "What did Mrs.
Jian mean by what she just said?"
Jian Maosheng smiled apologetically, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows twitching slightly, "She's just an ignorant woman, don't take her words at heart."
Seeing that Jian Maosheng had smoothed things over, Bai Qihong stopped pursuing it.
Jian Yi's hand hanging down under the table still clutched her heart tightly, as if she was afraid that she would escape.
Hua Ting turned her face sideways, and under Jian Yi's serious eyes was a straight nose.
He pursed his lips and said warmly: "I will only marry one person in this life."
Her words were beautiful and her smile was sincere.
She couldn't find any faults and couldn't find anything against her will.
Hua's heart twitched hard when she heard it.
His fingertips moved unconsciously.
His palms were warm, but his fingertips were cold.
They hooked leisurely into his slightly sunken palm.
The beginning was light and the end was heavy.
The heavy one hit the bottom of Hua Ting's heart.
The light one hit Hua Ting's heart.
It scratched the tip of her heart.
What she wanted she could not tell.
"If the beautiful girl doesn't marry the man in white, I will have to win the title of Toad Palace before we can start a family.
What's more annoying is that the young lady comes to the house but doesn't see her.
It's like...
The bright moon in the water and the flowers in the mirror” Shi Yin'ai on the stage had her eyebrows curled up in a frown but not frowning, and her eyes looked like weeping but not weeping.
Coupled with the shaved shoulders and waist, she has a very pitiful appearance.
"How is the business discussion between Brother Bai and Inagaki Shihei going?"
The atmosphere at the dinner table unexpectedly became tense due to Jian Maosheng's words.

Hua Ting returned her full attention from the stage and listened hard.
Bai Qihong lit a cigarette, shook his head and sighed: "We can't reach an agreement."
"Inagaki Jihei's appetite is quite big.
We have reduced him by 30% from the original price.
What reason does he have to be dissatisfied?"
"Of course I'm not satisfied," Bai Qihong's eyes looked a little irritable, "You bitch, you want to get the goods from me at the lowest price and then sell them at a high price, haha" His smile was dangerous, full of murderous intent, "This bitch wants to Recently, I am interested in developing my business in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, which is a good idea.”
Jian Maosheng picked up the tin porcelain teapot on the table, but did not pour it into the cup.
Instead, he said with a troubled face: "If the negotiation with Inagaki Shihei fails, there may be some difficulties in shipping."
"I know."
Bai Qihong slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.
"Invite him out for dinner tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
It seems that Inagaki Zhipei is also a difficult figure.
With his status in the new government, even Jian Maosheng has to give him three points.
But the opportunity was right in front of her, "why not" Hua Ting and Jian Yi looked at each other.
Bai Qihong narrowed his eyes, flicked the ash from his fingertips, and motioned for her to continue.
"Why don't you let me try" Hua Ting suppressed her warm smile, her eyebrows were raised, and she was extremely arrogant.
