The plum banquet, as the name suggests, is naturally to enjoy the plum blossoms before the banquet.Wei Xi didn't want to move at all, but this time it was the county lord of Yun'an who accompanied her, and it was obvious that she was the main person to invite, so it was not easy to refuse.After Merlin took a turn, Wei Xi prepared to retreat into the banquet hall.The lord of Yun'an has always been exquisite, and seeing that Wei Xi was not going to go shopping, he was ready to open his mouth and go back to the banquet hall.Wei Xi didn't wait for her to say before she spoke, "The county lord will continue to shop, and I'll go back by myself." ”The county lord of Yun'an didn't want to leave behind the ladies who followed him, and nodded kindly when he saw this, "Then Xi'er will go back to the banquet hall to warm up first, and if you want to eat, just tell the maid." ”Wei Xi blessed his body and took Xiao Qi back and forth.Passing by a small green calyx plum forest, I heard a very lively chatter coming from the right."
Shi Mingfei, I didn't expect that your little daughter of Zhaoting Sizheng could also receive an invitation from the county lord of Yun'an, can you tell us what means were used?"
The girl's voice was clear and babyish, "The invitation was sent to my house by the county lord of Yun'an, I don't know what kind of means you are talking about." ”"Shi Mingfei, you are wearing this dress today, you only have a hairpin on your head, did your mother tell you the etiquette of going to the banquet?""
I asked my mother, and she said that it is good to wear her favorite jewelry, and my favorite clothes are also my favorite piece, is there anything wrong?"
Wei Xi paused, listening to the words that were obviously difficult for Shi Mingfei, and the little girl answered very seriously one by one.Xiao Qi also stopped when he saw that his young lady had stopped, and looked in the direction where the voice came from, "There should be some young ladies from petty officials gathered over there, does Miss want to go over?"
”"Check it out."
Wei Xi said that he had already raised his feet and walked over there.As she approached, seven or eight young ladies who were standing or sitting heard the voice and turned around, and saw someone who came hurriedly saluting, "I've seen Miss Weisan." ”When I came, my mother mentioned her face, saying that she must be respectful when she saw Miss Weisan at the banquet, and it would be better if she could be almost familiar.When people came, the faces of several people suddenly showed a bit of eagerness.Wei Xi's gaze swept over their faces one by one, and his gaze fell on Shi Mingfei, who was standing last."
Come here."
Shi Mingfei was stunned at Shang Weixi's gaze, and pointed at himself in disbelief, "Are you calling me?"
”"Come on."
Shi Mingfei was sure that this Miss Wei San's name was indeed his own, and he was immediately a little flattered, walked a few steps past the people in front of him, and carefully took Wei Xi's hand stretched out towards her.Touching each other's hands, Wei Xi pinched Shi Mingfei's warm and somewhat fleshy little hands, which was rare and a little proud.She took the hand of her future sister-in-law earlier than his brother.Shi Mingfei's fingers were suddenly pinched lightly, and she was so frightened that she suddenly opened her mouth, wanting to ask why she was pinching her hand but didn't dare.Wei Xi looked at Shi Mingfei's small expression, and secretly thought about whether to take this opportunity to touch the little face of his future sister-in-law in the first step of his brother.However, considering the number of people present, she still dispelled this idea.Then he said to Shi Mingfei: "These people have bad intentions, don't play with them." ”Shi Mingfei: "???
”Several young ladies accused of bad intentions: "???
”"Follow me," Wei Xi didn't care about the pairs of eyes that came behind him, and pulled Shi Mingfei out, "I'll accompany you." ”When her brother is gone, it's time for her to protect her future sister-in-law.At this moment, Wei Xi only felt that his sense of responsibility was bursting.Shi Mingfei obediently followed Wei Xi away.Compared with the previous friends, she felt more comfortable staying by the side of this Miss Weisan.Wei Xi pulled Shi Mingfei back to the banquet hall and sat down behind her seat, and the maid who was guarding the banquet hall immediately brought two cups of hot tea, and even the grapes on the table were newly served.Wei Xi took a sip of tea, turned his head to look at Shi Mingfei, who was sitting in a regular manner, and reminded her, "First drink a cup of tea to warm up." ”Shi Mingfei picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip and felt a little hot, and hurriedly stuck out his tongue a little.Wei Xi inadvertently saw it, and couldn't help but hook his lips.After drinking a cup of tea, Wei Xi guessed, "Miss Shi, can I call you Mingfei?"
You can also call me Xixi. ”Shi Mingfei nodded hurriedly, "Yes." ”There was a pause, "Xixi." ”Wei Xi planned to help her hard-pressed brother who had been sent to inspect Jiangnan Yanzheng and had not yet come back to understand her future daughter-in-law, so she thought about it and asked, "Mingfei, what do you like to do when you're at home?"
”"I love keeping small animals.""
Critters?""
Well," Shi Mingfei nodded, counting his fingers, "I have a little sheep, two pigeons, three dogs, a big cat and six of its children, and a litter of rabbits. ”Wei Xi: "That's a lot. ”"Fortunately, there used to be a little fox, but my mother said that the little fox should live in the mountains and forests, so I had to let it go.There was also a thrush, but it was too old to die. ”It is rare for someone to be willing to listen to her talk about the small animals she raises, the more Shi Mingfei said, the more excited she became, "The little sheep was picked up on the side of the road when I followed my mother back to my hometown, it was bloody at that time and had just been born, lying on the side of the road and dying of hunger, it took the most effort to feed it, but now it is very strong."
The pigeons are a pair and now they are trying to hatch the youngsters.The dog was also picked up by accident and thrown away just after birth.The big cat was given to me by my father, I raised it and raised it somehow got a big belly, and finally gave birth to six kittens without a father, the rabbit was bought when I went out shopping, the hair is very long and white and it is very good to warm my hands in my arms. ”Wei Xi heard her last sentence and thought of the painting she saw at the beginning.It seems that she is also holding a rabbit in her hand."
Do you raise all of this yourself?"
Wei Xi didn't know where he said such a sentence, as if to say that if you decide to raise a small animal, then you have to raise it with your heart.Because your world is colorful, but in the world of small animals, it's just you."
Of course you have to raise them yourself," Shi Mingfei nodded as a matter of course, "Only if you raise them yourself, they will kiss you." ”Wei Xi nodded, "Makes sense." ”At the same time, she silently sympathized with her brother in her heart.If you marry your future sister-in-law home, you will have to marry back such a bunch of hairy children who compete for favor.As he was talking, people came back one after another outside the banquet hall.Shi Mingfei originally wanted to continue to tell Wei Xi about the little animals he raised, but he also silently shut up when he saw this.When Fu Yuheng came in, he saw the little girl sitting with his little daughter, raised his eyebrows in surprise, and only after sitting down did he give Wei Xi a look."
How did you kidnap people?"
Wei Xi winked at her mother, "By charm." ”Fu Yuheng: "My daughter's skin seems to be getting thicker and thicker.Shi Mingfei hurriedly got up and saluted, "Mingfei has seen Second Lady Wei." ”Fu Yuheng glared at Wei Xi, and when he turned to Shi Mingfei, he suddenly smiled, "Mingfei, this name is good, sit down." ”Shi Mingfei was still ready to salute and then went back to his original seat to sit, but now he had to continue to sit down next to Wei Xi.At the same time, another maid went over and found the Long family who was still waiting for her daughter to come back at the end of the table, "Mrs.
Shi, Miss Shi is sitting on Miss Weisan's side now, let the slave come and tell you, don't worry." ”Long Shi was stunned when he heard this, and after reacting to who Miss Wei San was talking about, he first couldn't believe it, and then nodded hurriedly, "Okay, thank you for reminding me." ”The maid blessed her body, and then left.As soon as she left, several ladies sitting around her suddenly came over.The one sitting at the head of her also turned around eagerly, "I didn't expect that Mrs.
Shi, your daughter and Miss Wei San are still friends, and there is time for Mingfei's child to play with those two girls in my family." ”As soon as she finished speaking, the other side also spoke.The meaning of the words is nothing more than to let the juniors have more contact.Long Shi listened to a series of almost sounds in his ears, and his face seemed to be listening seriously, but he didn't care.She knew in her heart that these people would suddenly be so enthusiastic, just because of Miss Weisan.Although she didn't know why that Miss Wei San suddenly asked Mingfei to sit with her, the words of these ladies were so obvious that she didn't want to hear any of them.And a few young ladies around who had made Shi Mingfei sad before, their faces were already white.Wei Xi didn't know what kind of fluctuation her move had caused on the other side, but now she finally found the meaning of coming to this banquet.That is, before Shi Mingfei entered the door, she became her future sister-in-law and was monopolized by her brother, and she approached the water tower first.The two of them have already said that tomorrow, Wei Xi will go to Shi Mingfei's house to see the bunch of small animals with his own eyes.The county lord of Yun'an, who was sitting in the first place, looked at the two little girls next to him who were talking in a low voice, and then looked at Fu Yuheng, who seemed to be silent but was actually listening quietly with his ears pricked up, and understood something in an instant.Most of the people she invited to today's banquet were people who were not going to let their daughters enter the palace for the draft, and those young ladies who were interested in entering the palace were not in the consideration of her future daughter-in-law.But now it seems that there is one less choice for the future wife of her three sons.She originally wanted to pick slowly, not in a hurry, but seeing that she was already turning people over here, the county lord of Yun'an was also a little anxious.Thinking of the girls who had just made a disciple salute to Wei Xi, the county lord of Yun'an was moved, "Xi'er, I want to ask you something." ”Wei Xi looked up, "County Lord, please speak." ”"In your girls' school, can you introduce me to a few good girls with excellent character and learning?
Between fifteen and eighteen?
”Wei Xi: "I actually want to kidnap their female disciple to be my daughter-in-law.That's a bit blatant!
