June 11th.
Du Hanfei frowned, but Xu Wenlan happily came to Mingxiangyuan early in the morning to wait for Bingwen.
Because Bingwen stayed in Wentian Pavilion all day today, he did not return to Mingxiang Garden until evening.
Therefore, when Shi Zhongfei informed Xu Wenlan, who was drinking with the children of the aristocratic family and talking about the oiran of Yixianglou, that Mr. Bingwen was back.
Xu Wenlan hurriedly bowed his hands and said goodbye to several people, and went to the backyard to look for Bingwen.
Tonight is the day for Xian Li to dance. Xu Wenlan made an appointment with Bingwen early in the morning to go and enjoy it together.
As for why he so persistently invited Bingwen to enjoy it, it was also because Xu Wenlan heard that Bingwen was a distinguished guest of Yixiang House, and the largest and best private room, the Huanyue Room, was always reserved for him.
Xu Wenlan also wanted to sit in the Huanyue Room and see if this so-called distinguished guest could get some special treatment, such as inviting Miss Xianli to have a drink with him.
Naturally, Bingwen didn't know that Xu Wenlan still had such a colorful belly. He had indeed made an appointment with him nine days ago to watch the dance together today, so he was not surprised to see him come now.
Bingwen ordered Jiao Shi to call Xie Jiming, Kong Changhui and Shi Zhongfei together.
Since I have made an appointment with Xu Wenlan to go to Yixiang Tower, I simply invite everyone to go and open their eyes together.
Naturally, Xie Jiming refused to go with them. He was a pedantic and stinking stone. When he heard that the place they were going to was Yixiang Tower, he turned around and kicked Jiao Shi out.
Jiao Shi stood outside the door aggrievedly, gave up after thinking about it, and turned around to look for Kong Changhui.
Although Kong Changhui was not as rude as Jie Ji Ming, but because he now held the official position of Minister of Justice, it was not convenient to go to the fireworks place, so he politely refused and sent Jiao Shi out.
Jiao Shi was rejected again and flew towards the last teacher.
Shi Zhongfei happened to be relaxing in the front hall. Most people were preparing to go to Yixiang Tower to enjoy the dance tonight.
Therefore, today's meeting in Ming Xiangyuan broke up a little early, leaving only a few scattered talented people who pretended to be noble, still staying here and disdainful.
When Jiao Shi told Shi Zhongfei that Bingwen was going to take him to Yixiang Building, Shi Zhongfei's eyes lit up instantly. He replied "Let's go" to Jiao Shi and went ahead to Jiao Shi. One step towards the backyard.
Bingwen was quite surprised to see Shi Zhongfei alone.
It was expected that Xie Jiming wouldn't go, but Kong Changhui didn't go either. He really cherished his feathers and was afraid of telling the truth.
He ordered Shi Zhongfei: "Go and pull Kong Changhui out. This guy is being pretentious."
Shi Zhongfei paused as he was about to reach Bingwen, and said angrily: "I'm afraid I can't handle him alone? After all, he is also a fourth-grade official."
"Oh, come on, let's go together and carry this pretentious official out." Xu Wenlan was already anxious, pulling Bingwen up and pushing Shi Zhongfei towards Kong Changhui's room.
Jiao Shi went to knock on the door. Kong Changhui opened a crack and saw Jiao Shi. He couldn't help but frowned: "I told you, that kind of fireworks place is really inconsistent with my identity."
After Kong Changhui finished speaking, he was about to close the door. Xu Wenlan and Shi Zhongfei, who were standing on both sides, pushed the door. Kong Changhui stumbled and fell back. Fortunately, Jiao Shi had the good sense to quickly grab him.
Xu Wenlan and Shi Zhong flew in, held him on the left and right, and walked out. Bingwen, who was standing aside, also teased him: "Master Kong really values official reputation."
When Kong Changhui was teased by him, he didn't have any temper at all.
After all, it was thanks to Bingwen that he was able to get such an official position and live like a fish in water.
Therefore, seeing that he had come to invite him in person, he knew that he could not refuse, so he said to the two people who were fighting him: "I'll go, I'll go, let go, how can you behave like this?"
Xu Wenlan and Shi Zhongfei relaxed their hands after hearing this, and Xu Wenlan patted him on the shoulder: "It's great that you agreed earlier. We have to make this extra trip for nothing."
Kong Changhui pretended to salute Xu Wenlan: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Xu."
Shi Zhongfei clicked his tongue twice: "Changhui has also learned bad things now."
Kong Changhui rolled his eyes at him: "I can still be as bad as you, but look at you now, you really don't have any bookishness at all."
"Yes, I am full of copper odor and gangster air now." Shi Zhongfei smiled and replied that he didn't care. He was now free, lazy and comfortable.
Kong Changhui was angry and pointed at Shi Zhongfei but there was nothing he could do about him. The three of them laughed and went out to Yixiang Tower.
After entering the building, Kong Changhui finally saw what the red-sleeved move is called.
When the girls on the upper and lower floors saw Xu Wenlan, they leaned on the railing and stretched out their hands, calling each other more charmingly: "Mr. Xu."
Xu Wenlan nodded with a smile. A sharp-eyed girl had already seen Bingwen coming and led him to the Huanyue Room on the third floor and sent someone to notify Li Xinlan.
Xu Wenlan entered Huanyue's room and sighed twice: "Bingwen is indeed the only one, and this treatment is indeed extraordinary."
Shi Zhongfei and Kong Changhui were both here for the first time, so naturally they didn't know that Huanyue Room was not open to the public in the past.
Just as he was about to ask Xu Wenlan what he meant by this, he heard a knock on the door.
Jiao Shi went to open the door and saw Li Xinlan and Yu Qiao Shi Shiran entering the house and bowed to them.
"Why are Mr. Bingwen entertaining so many distinguished guests today?" Li Xinlan had already received his message. Today, he was not alone, but he still had to show off.
"Excuse me, Aunt Li, please prepare some drinks." Bingwen smiled at her.
When Shi Zhongfei saw Yuqiao entering the room, he also joked to Bingwen: "Master Bingwen is feeling very happy."
Bingwen glared at him, but Yuqiao hid her face and smiled sweetly: "Young Master Xu is here today, Qiao'er doesn't dare to show his embarrassment in front of you."
Yuqiao is good at playing the piano, but she is only good at it. Naturally, she cannot compare with Xu Wenlan who is proficient in playing the piano.
While Xu Wenlan was saying "Where is that?" he saw Li Xinlan giving a salute and preparing to exit, so she hurriedly whispered in Bingwen's ear: "Let Grandma Li ask Miss Xianli to come over and have a drink together later."
Bingwen couldn't stand Xu Wenlan's pitiful look, so he had to ask Li Xinlan who was about to go out: "I wonder if Miss Xianli will finish dancing for a while and come over for a drink. Our eldest son Xu really wants to Meet beautiful people.”
There was a trace of embarrassment on Li Xinlan's face. She glanced around the people present and then said to him: "Master Bingwen doesn't know something. This girl Xianli was sent here by a nobleman. She has a proud temperament. Let me go and ask." She may not agree."
When Bingwen heard this, he was interested in who sent it, but there were so many people at the moment that it was not convenient for Li Xinlan to tell, and it was not convenient for him to ask, so he had to bow to her and say.
"In that case, I'd like to ask Grandma Li to convey it to you."
