Marry a eunuch to catch demons

Chapter 73: Human Heart and Ghosts

The heavy rain had not stopped at this time, Xie Zhen put a coat on Ye Ge, and the servants who came to invite walked in front of them, holding two glass lamps to illuminate the road.Originally, he was going to hold an umbrella for them, but Xie Zhen took it over and held Ye Ge together.

Seeing the servants who led the way, they couldn't help smiling and flattering them: "It's really rare for the third master and Young Master Ye to have such a good relationship."

Xie Zhen just smiled after hearing this, and wrapped Ye Ge's slightly cool fingertips with the hand that was not holding the umbrella.Ye Ge couldn't help raising her face, and smiled at him too.

This night's birthday banquet was held in the flower hall next to the lotus pond. Before I got close, I saw through the rain curtain that in the flower hall, the lights were bright, and under the porch hung with longevity lanterns, many maids in red and green clothes were laughing. Busy.

The heavy rain hit the plantains and Bauhinia outside the hall, making a crackling sound, and there was even a melodious opera sound mixed in with the sound of the rain, which came faintly.

"What are you talking about, filial piety and both—"[1]

Ye Ge hasn't listened to opera for a long time, and now listening to the tune is also somewhat addictive.Holding Xie Zhen's hand, she quickened her pace, and as soon as she entered the flower hall and put away her umbrella, she looked towards the improvised stage.

But it was a female actress that he didn't recognize, she was wearing python clothes, singing "Da Deng Dian" together with the people around her, it was very lively.

At this time, Su Wenli happened to arrive with Mrs. Su, and the little girl ran over to talk to Ye Ge. Seeing that he listened to the opera, she smiled and said: "Uncle Ye thinks that female singer sings well, she It's a new role in Fuyue class, I heard brother Chongzu discuss with them a few days ago, even if they don't invite anyone else, I still want to invite her."

"The corner of the Fuyue class..." After hearing this, Ye Ge was distracted for a while, and suddenly remembered that he had left the theater for almost half a year, and there were already newcomers on the noisy stage.

"Ge'er wants to listen to the opera again?" Xie Zhen lowered his head, supported Ye Ge's shoulder and said, "I saw you didn't mention it a few days ago, if you want to listen, let's go together some other day."

Ye Ge came back to his senses, raised his eyes to look at Xie Zhen, and nodded: "Okay, that's it, when the husband is free, he will accompany me."

A few people here were still listening to the opera, so Aunt Liu walked over from the banquet with a smile. She was wearing a purple cheongsam today, and a string of pearls was specially hung on her neck. She looked very beautiful: "Third Master and Brother Ye, why don't you sit down, everyone is waiting for you to start the table."

Xie Zhen also smiled, made a gesture of apologizing, and then took Ye Ge into the banquet hall.

Because it was also a family banquet, the table seating arrangement this time was similar to that of the New Year's Eve night. Ye Ge and Xie Zhen were still sitting at the main table, but the mad lady still hadn't arrived.

But to Ye Ge's surprise, Ye Jun didn't leave, and sat with Su Wenli on the table of the juniors.

In any case, the family banquet finally started.

Although it was Xie Hong's birthday, the first person to speak was still Xie Wei. He looked at the Xie family in the hall and said with a smile: "Tonight, there is nothing serious, I just want to have a good time with my second child." Birthday, let’s all get together and have fun.”

Xie Hong hadn't finished drinking at noon, so he cleared his throat and echoed after hearing what his elder brother said: "Yes, just have fun, don't be restrained, just do whatever you want."

But the second wife next to him seemed to be dissatisfied with Xie Hong's drunkenness, and tugged on his sleeve forcefully, telling him to stop talking.

But fortunately, there are many people at the table, so it was quickly covered by your words and my laughter.

For Ye Ge and Xie Zhen, this kind of dinner was really meaningless. Coupled with the fact that they were preparing to do something, Ye Ge always kept it in mind and looked at Xie Zhen frequently.

However, Xie Zhen still had that calm and breezy appearance, adding some new dishes to Ye Ge from time to time, and every time Ye Ge looked over, he just smiled peacefully at him.

Just like that, there were several rounds of pushing and changing cups, and the atmosphere on the wine table was also approaching high,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,. Gifts, no matter how useless they are, can still make you smile.

Xie Zhen didn't know when, he had already held the half stick in his sleeve in his hand, scanned the people on the table, guessed that the time was almost up, then picked up the wine glass, and said to Xie Hong: "Second brother, I'm coming too A toast to you."

As soon as Xie Zhen opened his mouth, people around laughed and said, "Everyone says that the third master is the most generous person. I don't know what birthday gift I want to give the second master today?"

Xie Hong was in high spirits, and all the past quarrels were forgotten, he waved his hands drunkenly and said: "If the third brother can drink this glass of wine with me, it will be worth a lot of money. What birthday gift do you need?"

After hearing this, Xie Zhen smiled and said: "Second brother is right, the harmony between us brothers is naturally worth ten thousand times more than gold and silver... But today, I did prepare a birthday gift for second brother."

"Oh?" Xie Hong raised his head, looked at Xie Zhen and asked, "What good things did the third one find for me?"

Xie Zhen smiled lightly, and pointed the half stick in his hand towards the lotus pond in the rain, and said loudly: "Second brother, come and see—"

Everyone's gazes followed, only to see a silver brilliance gradually gather on the water surface halfway up the pole, and within the blink of an eye, a big white-headed carp jumped out of the brilliance. .

Everyone exclaimed, and someone took the opportunity to flatter: "I knew that the third master is a capable person, but I didn't know it was such a supernatural power."

After Xie Zhen heard this, he just said congratulations casually, and then moved his pole in the second half, and the gleaming carp moved out of the water, swung its shining tail straight, and swam into the flower hall.

Everyone's exclamation became louder, and they all opened their eyes wide, staring at the carp closely, not wanting to leave their eyes for a moment.

Xie Zhen led the carp to swim all the way to Xie Hong, and said with a smile: "This is a lucky silver carp. It is said that touching it with both hands will bring good luck and good luck. Second brother, are you satisfied with this birthday gift?"

Xie Hong thought he had a lot of knowledge, but he had never encountered such a technique. He was both surprised and happy, and couldn't close his mouth with a smile: "Satisfied, satisfied, you still have the ability, third child."

After finishing speaking, he raised his hands cautiously, held the silver carp and touched it, and instantly felt refreshed, but when he looked again, the silver carp had already swam away from his hands and was in front of Xie Wei again. up.

Taking advantage of the situation, Xie Zhen said to Xie Wei again: "It's rare to find such auspicious things. Big brother, you should also touch it, and get lucky."

Xie Wei naturally would not refuse, he smiled at Xie Hong and Xie Zhen, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay."

Then, his hands touched Yin Li's body just like Xie Hong did before.

"Such a good thing, we can't just occupy it with our two old things. I think we will let everyone touch it. Our Xie family is all blessed and lucky. What do you think of the second child?"

Xie Hong was in high spirits a long time ago. He kept nodding his head at what Xie Wei said, completely ignoring the dark face of the second wife next to him: "Okay, okay, everyone touch it."

"If you want me to say, let the juniors touch it, we people won't join in the fun." The second wife pulled the handkerchief in her hand, and said sourly, regardless of the expressions of others.

Ye Ge's heart jumped violently, and she turned her head to look at the second wife who was talking coldly, could it be her...

Xie Zhen silently pressed Ye Ge's hand, shook his head at him calmly, and then said to the second wife: "The juniors have the blessings of the juniors. If the second sister-in-law doesn't touch it, they won't be ashamed to touch it." .”

Ye Ge looked at the expression on the second wife's face very nervously, but as he gradually calmed down, he also figured out something was wrong.

The first thing is that the man in the iron mask probably didn't know about the handprint on the money ticket at all, so how could he avoid the silver carp at such a time.

Furthermore, when he looked at the appearance of the second wife, he didn't show any fear or avoidance at all, but seemed to be complaining and angry...

This time, Ye Ge had a good idea. The second wife didn't know about the handprints, but she was just so angry that Xie Wei dominated her man in everything. The silver carp was given by Xie Zhen, so it's all right for Xie Zhen to show off.Why should he, Xie Wei, act as a peddler again and let everyone touch him.

"Hey, if she doesn't want to, then she won't. Let someone else do it, someone else will do it." Xie Hong didn't have so many detours in his mind, or maybe he usually did, and now he was so drunk that he couldn't think much about it.He just felt embarrassed by the second wife. Although he still smiled, he was a little angry, and continued to greet other people.

The second wife was even angrier, but she could only snort coldly, and said nothing more.

Fortunately, it went much smoother later, Ye Ge looked at everyone in the flower hall, touched the silver carp all over, and then felt relieved.

After swimming around the flower hall for a few more times, the silver carp swung its tail again under the eyes of everyone, and jumped into the lotus pond in the heavy rain. The brilliance instantly scattered like stars, and gradually disappeared.

Ye Ge and Xie Zhen looked at each other, and from the eyes of the other party, he understood that the matter was more than half done, and all the handprints of the people who could be ranked in the Xie family had been collected.Just wait for them to go back, and then screen and compare.

And after the silver carp incident, the dinner was even more lively, until halfway through the night, the crowd gradually dispersed.

Outside the flower hall, the heavy rain still did not stop, Xie Zhen dressed Ye Ge again, took the umbrella from the servant, and prepared to go back to her yard.

And behind them, Ye Jun stood silently under the flower corridor, looking at the younger brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Ye Ge is no longer the thin and small boy in his memory who wears his old clothes all day long.

He has grown up, and his appearance is so good-looking. The white gauze shirt on his body is a material that his father would not dare to buy in his shop, or he is clean and elegant, without the slightest hint of poverty.

Between them, maybe they really can't go back to the past, and they can't be brothers anymore.

At this time, Su Wenli came to his side, and the little girl smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "What are you thinking?"

Ye Jun came back to his senses, looked at Su Wenli's smiling face, and shook his head: "It's nothing, now that it's getting late and it's raining, I'll take you and your aunt back."

"You can just send me off. Mother seems to have something to do, and she has already left."
