But Cui Lu wanted to tease Qi Jing. After Qi Jing sat down, he tapped the other person's shoulder with a folding fan, "Did you forget that yesterday was A Jin's birthday?

You two quarreled when they met. It’s nothing if you don’t give gifts. Now they have made up. You can’t miss this birthday gift, right?”

birthday?

Yes, there seems to be a custom of giving gifts on birthdays among people who are close to each other.

Qi Jing looked at Xu Jin with some anxiety.

This little girl likes to throw a tantrum the most. Will she be angry if she doesn’t prepare a gift?

However, when he saw the little girl secretly blinking at him and expressing his disregard, he felt more guilty than seeing her angry.

He really didn't prepare a gift because he didn't know that yesterday was her birthday.

In addition to the short time spent with her taking care of Dabai, he was stuck in the house thinking about how to spend the next time.

In the morning, my grandmother mentioned coming to Xu's house to attend the banquet in the evening. He remembered the last time Uncle Xu said he would treat him at the sixth day of the first lunar month. He thought it was a banquet set up because of his injury.

After thinking about it, Qi Jing took out a jade pendant from his arms, got up and walked to Xu Jin, "A Jin, give it to me."

This is the jade pendant left to him by the original biological mother. Since the original body cherishes close-fitting wear, it must be a good thing. It should be okay to treat it as a gift, right?

In fact, although Qi Jing inherited the memory of his original body, he only simply understood the things that could help him with emergency responses. For example, he did not understand the rules and etiquette of dealing with people, and other ways of dealing with people. Therefore, he did not understand what this behavior meant.

However, Cui Lu and the other two knew that the jade pendant was Qi Jing's treasure. Now that he has given people so lightly, Cui Lu's eyes immediately became meaningful.

What the biological mother left behind, not to mention the texture of the jade pendant itself, it depends on this special meaning.

Maybe I can only give it to my future wife?

Could it be that this kid is interested in A Jin?

No, how old is the little girl?

Xu Jin didn't think so much. She just thought the jade pendant was too expensive, so she didn't accept it: "No need, Qi Jing, please put it away quickly. This is your mother left to you. You can't give it to someone easily, do you know?"

In the past, she would naturally not have spoken to Qi Jing in this tone of teaching, but after these two days of getting along, Xu Jin found that Qi Jing sometimes looked like an adult, sometimes very stupid, so stupid that he even looked at her ears with curiosity, and asked her if it hurts, she didn't look like him anymore.

So that's it.

Qi Jing finally understood why the three of them were so shocked just now.

He was upset, but nothing unusual appeared on his face. He put away his jade pendant expressionlessly, looked at his body, and found that there was nothing to give, so he had to say, "I will replenish you tomorrow."

It’s really troublesome to stay here.

Xu Jin shook his head indifferently. Seeing that the maid next to her mother came over, she stood up with a smile and said to the three of them: "Okay, the banquet should be held in front, let's go there quickly."

After saying that, he took Cui Xiao's arm and led the way out.

As soon as she moved, Dabai, who had just been dozing under the tree, chased after her and followed her left side with silk flowers tied behind her, shaking her tail, which was indescribable and cute.

"A Jin, is Dabai a male dog?

How could you bully a dog like this?"

Cui Lu laughed and couldn't help asking.

Xu Jin didn't even look back, "I just like to dress it up like this, you don't have to worry about it!"

"This girl, Qi Jing, do you think she is messing around..." Cui Lu shook his head helplessly, turned his head to talk to Qi Jing, but he was unprepared to face a dark face. His gloomy appearance made him lose his voice.

Very good, why did you suddenly get angry?

.

The four of them arrived at the front yard and saw that Old Mrs. Qi and others had already sat down.

Two tables were placed in the yard, Mr. Qi, Xu You, sat on one table, and Mrs. Qi led the way to sit on another table.

Everyone is a neighbor, and they look down and see each other. Of course, there is not much attention. Just put a screen in the middle.

Xu Jin and Cui Xiao smiled and went to the women's table. Qi Jing looked at Dabai who was squatting on Xu Jin's side, and went to the other side with Cui Lu with a cold face.

Old Mrs. Qi smiled and called Xu Jin beside her, and looked at the little girl's eyebrows lovingly: "The days are so fast. In the blink of an eye, A Jin is ten years old. The older she grows, the better she looks, and it makes people like it."

As he said that, he took off a southern red agate bracelet from his wrist, and smiled as he put it on Xu Jin's white wrist, "This is what my grandma went to Kaiyuan Temple to ask the master to open the light when she first arrived in the capital, to drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters, and to calm her mind.

Now my grandma gives it to A Jin, bless A Jin to be healthy and healthy in the future.”

"Auntie is so expensive."

Jiang quickly stood up, but before she could say anything she refused, Old Mrs. Qi waved her hand, "Don't worry, this is what I gave to A Jin, you are the one who is a mother."

Jiang didn't know what to say, so he gave a wink at his daughter quietly.

Xu Jin knew it without saying that, and smiled and said to Old Mrs. Qi: "A Jin knows that grandma is good to me, but this bracelet is grandma's beloved thing, I..."

"Don't imitate your mother's trick, why are you polite to grandma?"

Old Mrs. Qi patted Xu Jin's hand, then called Cui Xiao to her side, put another identical bracelet on Cui Xiao's wrist, and sighed: "Since it is your favorite thing, you will naturally have to give it to you.

Grandma has a granddaughter, but she is far away in the capital. It is because you and Xiaoxiao often come to talk to her grandma to relieve her boredom, so Grandma has long regarded you as her granddaughter.

It just so happens that you are all here today, so I will give it to you together. Don’t ask grandma for her birthday when Xiaoxiao celebrates her birthday! Okay, sit down quickly. Grandma is hungry for a day and wait for a big meal tonight!”

The two little girls looked at their mothers together.

Jiang looked at Mrs. Cui, and the two looked at each other and smiled. They knew that it was the old man's heart, so they stopped persuading him.

Men must drink when they go to the table, and only take a few bites after drinking. So when they finish eating at the women's table, Xu You was still drinking with Mr. Qi at the other side of the men's table.

Jiang Shi winked with her husband from afar and accompanied Mrs. Cui to the backyard to talk with Mrs. Qi.

Xu Jinze led Cui Xiao to his house. The two had agreed that Cui Xiao would stay at Xu's house to accompany her tonight.

Mr. Qi likes to drink, but his alcohol tolerance is not very good. After a few drinks, he started to blow his beard and stare at the eyes. He looked at Changsun opposite him and didn't like him. He kept complaining to Xu You: "His father was quite obedient when he was a child, why did he give birth to him a stubborn personality?

If he didn't study hard, he was already thirteen years old and he didn't even pass the exam for a child, which was extremely embarrassing!"

Qi Jing remained silent, and Cui Lu turned his head and laughed secretly.

Xu You smiled and advised: "Don't worry, uncle, A Jing was a little naughty before, but now he is much more sensible.

With you, A Jing is just around the corner.”

"No, no," Mr. Qi burped and shook his head repeatedly, "You don't have to praise him. He is born not a good source of study. Even if I lock him in the study, he would rather sleep than read. Beating and scolding is useless... it's all his grandmother's habit..."

Qi Jing seemed to have not heard of it, so he picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

This is his first time drinking, and the taste is a bit strange. However, since the men here like to drink this, he will learn to drink it so that he will not get drunk in a few or two cups like his grandfather in the future.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Xu You and felt that his alcohol tolerance could not be worse than that of a white-faced scholar.

Xu You was tall and thin, and he was completely incomparable to him back then.

Xu You found that the boy opposite had looked at him. He stopped persuading Mr. Qi. After a moment of silence, he said to Qi Jing: "Ajing, you must be motivated, don't let your grandfather down on your ardent expectations.

You should know that there are so many scholars in the world, not everyone has a good opportunity like you.

Your grandfather once won three yuan in a row, and now he is a great scholar in this dynasty. Your father was also a Tanhualang in high school. With their teachings, as long as you have a little snack, there should be no problem getting a Jinshi.

Unlike some students who have no choice but to study hard, and their knowledge and vision are even worse than others."

Qi Jing lowered his eyes and nodded as a response, but in fact he was trying to recall what it means to win three consecutive times.

As for studying, my grandfather advised him to read more than once in the past two days. He tried to read it, but he really couldn't read it.

He recognized those words, but it was a headache to read them together. Perhaps he was not used to them yet?

Qi Jing didn't hear Xu You's implicit voice, but Cui Lu, a sensual, could hear it, and looked at Xu You inadvertently.

Xu You nodded slightly at him, and Cui Lu immediately understood what to do. His eyes turned and he changed into a confused expression and asked, "Uncle Xu, you have never taken the exam again after you passed the imperial examination. Could it be that it is because you have no guidance from Master Gao?"

This kid is indeed sensible.

Xu You sighed: "Yes, the test was not taken at first because your aunt was weak, and my uncle kept staying at home because she was worried about her.

Later, my uncle wanted to take the exam, but he was shocked to realize that his knowledge was shallow and his hopes were slim, so he always wanted to learn from a famous teacher, but unfortunately he had no way out for so many years.

Forget it, my uncle is old and it’s good to educate and study.”

Older?

Qi Jing looked at Xu You again, feeling that the man standing near him looked only in his early twenties. Will he be old like that?

He was confused, but Cui Lu laughed loudly: "Uncle is really good at joking. You are in your prime, so why do you talk about old age?

Besides, with Grandpa Qi as a famous teacher, who else do you want to visit?

Just take Grandpa Qi as his teacher. Grandpa Qi will definitely not refuse, right?"

There are people in the court who are good at doing things, and if my uncle gets what he wants, the Cui family will benefit from it.

"ah?

What to reject?"

Mr. Qi was pouring wine. When Cui Lu mentioned that he tried to open his eyes, he asked blankly.

Cui Lu reiterated what he said just now, praising and praising him, and what he said was good.

Mr. Qi burped and looked at Xu You in a daze, "You, do you want to worship me as your teacher?"
