187, given
The Qi family claimed that it was a family dinner today, so they did not deliberately avoid the defense of men and women, but just sat in separate seats.
During the meal, Xu Shu noticed that Deng Yarong seemed to be in a very good mood, so she didn't deliberately find her fault. It was really rare. When she was drinking tea and savoring food after dinner, Deng Yarong took the initiative to sit next to Xu Shu, "My grandfather raised a pair of hibiscus birds and could sing songs. Do you want to go and have a look?"
"Thank you Miss Deng Wu's kindness, but it's getting late. We should go back, so we won't go!" Xu Shu refused bluntly. Deng Yarong didn't have any kindness. Last time she invited her to a lake, she tricked her to a deserted island. This time she didn't know what she was thinking about.
Deng Yarong pursed her lips, and she felt unhappy on her face, but she disappeared in a flash. "It will not delay you in just a while!"
Xu Shu was silent and silent. She held the teacup in one hand and the cup lid in the other hand. She scraped the foam on the tea soup one after another, just ignored it.
Deng Yarong paused for a moment with a stern face, and suddenly walked to Li. After saying a few words to Li, he turned back, with a proud look on his face, "Aunt Xu said, it's still early, so I don't rush to go back, I'll just let you go with me!"
"But I don't want to go!" Xu Shu put down the tea bowl, her expression extremely cold.
"It's not good! Today I want you to accompany me!" Deng Yarong stomped his feet and said coquettishly at Li, "Aunt, Miss Jiu doesn't want to play with me. Is there anything I have offended her?"
Deng Yarong's voice attracted the adults beside him. Mrs. Deng and Mrs. Li looked at him at the same time. Mrs. Deng and smiled and said to Xu Shu, "It's boring for us to speak. Miss Deng Wu is also kind-hearted. Just follow her to play!"
Mrs. Deng's face relaxed slightly, and she glared at Deng Yarong, "Why are you not so comfortable! Look at Miss Xu Jiu, this is what a lady should look like. Why don't you sit down honestly!"
Deng Yarong's face turned apart, and she was extremely dissatisfied with what Mrs. Deng said, but she did not dare to refute in front of many people, for fear of being accused of being disrespectful to her elders, so she burst into tears.
Wan came out to smooth things out at the right time, "Okay, okay, Miss Xu Jiu is already ill. The weather is cold today. If you go out and get cold, it will make your aunt Xu feel bad. But you are just ignorant! Sister Rong, if you really want to see the bird raised by your father, I will let Brother Peng and Brother Rui accompany you to Qizhen Pavilion!"
In Wan's mouth, Xu Shu seemed to be a weak and sick person, and even suggested that Li blamed Deng Yarong for being ignorant. Li couldn't hold back his face, so he looked at Xu Shu with a slightly unpleasant tone. "Sister Shu, didn't you say last time that you wanted that pair of thrushes hanging in the yard? The sound of the lotus bird is said to be more beautiful than thrushes. Go and see. If you like it, I'll buy you a pair too!"
Wan continued with a smile, "Why buy it? I happened to hatch a few small ones a while ago. When they are tamed and mature, I will give them two to my niece!"
"Then the relationship is good! Sister Shu, why don't you thank you Aunt Qi!" As he sang and said, Li had already forced Xu Shu to the high platform where he could not retreat.
Xu Shu finally got up and blessed with a blessing from Wan. His voice was neither happy nor angry. "Thank you for your gift today, Xu Shu will definitely repay you in the future!"
Although Xu Shu thanked her, the words of thanks sounded strange. Li chewed for a long time but couldn't tell anything wrong. However, Wan's heart trembled and even his smile became reluctant.
Deng Yarong raised her chin proudly and said to Xu Shu arrogantly, "Let's go!"
Qi Peng stood up and asked, "Cousin, do you want me to accompany you?"
Wan was about to stop him, but Deng Yarong's eyes rolled and nodded excitedly, "Okay!"
"Oh," Wan couldn't help but speak, but Deng Yarong had already left the door. Mrs. Deng looked at Wan in confusion. Wan explained, "No matter how you say it, you can leave, and don't wait for me to send someone to clean up Qizhen Pavilion. In addition to raising birds, there are also many dogs, and the smell is mixed, so I'm afraid of being targeted at them!"
Mrs. Deng said, "It's okay, the servants will clean up when they see them!"
"That's the same!" Wan replied reluctantly, still feeling uneasy. What if something goes wrong?
On the way, Deng Yarong deliberately put Xu Shu between her and Qi Peng. When talking to Xu Shu, he repeatedly brought the topic to Qi Peng. Xu Shu was silent throughout the whole process and said no. Deng Yarong was angry, but thinking about what she wanted in her heart, she forced herself to breathe. The three of them arrived at Qizhen Pavilion with their own thoughts. As expected, the subordinates invited them to wait in the concierge and hurriedly arranged for someone to clean.
Deng Yarong stepped on Qi Peng, nodded at Xu Shu, and signaled Qi Peng to talk to Xu Shu. Qi Peng glanced at the teapot on the table, and hurriedly picked it up and poured a cup for each of the three of them, "Cousin, Miss Jiu, please use tea!"
Xu Shu nodded slightly and did not pick up the teacup. Deng Yarong picked it up and took a sip, but vomited all the time, "What's this? It's so unpalatable!"
The servant replied embarrassedly, "This is the coarse tea that the young people drank. Of course, such a bad thing cannot be eaten by the lady!"
Seeing that Xu Shu didn't drink it, Deng Yarong suspected that Xu Shu wouldn't drink it because she knew it was a coarse tea, but she didn't remind herself and waited to see her jokes. She couldn't help but stare at Xu Shu with hatred. If it weren't for her happiness for the rest of her life, she wouldn't have been angry with Xu Shu here!
The concierge was simple, Deng Yarong couldn't stop and looked around bored. Xu Shu "looked" at Qi Peng, looked at the direction of the door again, and signaled Qi Peng to leave.
Qi Peng knew that Deng Yarong had a relationship with Xu Shu. At this moment, Deng Yarong was extremely enthusiastic and must have a plan. This cousin was simple and would never hide anything. He put everything on his face. Deng Yarong's little thoughts on Xu Shu must have seen her, so she was reluctant to come out in front of everyone. Even if she came out of helplessness, she would have to deal with it. However, she was a little extravagant to follow her and stood up and said, "Cousin, Miss Jiu, I suddenly remembered that I had something to do, so I left first!"
"Oh, cousin, why are you leaving?" Deng Yarong was anxious. She had a lot of things to say.
Qi Peng walked away with apologetically smiled.
Deng Yarong curled his lips and sat down next to Xu Shu. Xu Shu handed the teapot to the servant beside him, "Put the pot of hot water!"
The servant left with the pot in his arms, and only Deng Yarong and Xu Shu were left in the room. Xu Shu turned sideways to Deng Yarong and said, "Is Mrs. Qi teaching you how to do this?"
Deng Yarong was a little panicked. When she thought that Xu Shu couldn't see her panic, she forced herself to calm down, "What do I do and others can't teach me? I can do whatever I like!"
