Chapter 885 The big family had a dinner together

There is also a custom of this Qiqiao Festival, that is, every year at this time, the big families in the town will meet together to hold a dinner party to celebrate the festival.

Although it seems to be a celebration on the surface, in fact, all the elders and ladies present are to bring their young masters and ladies to show their faces. They want to take advantage of the good omen of the Qiqiao Festival to find a well-matched family and marry them, so as to expand their own family. Momentum.

As the Chu family is quite famous in the town, naturally they will not miss this opportunity.

Chu Xixi followed behind Chu Yurou, thinking of Chu Taiping talking when they came out.

"The second young master of the Chai family and the third young master of the Mo family will also be present today. You three have to dress up for me. It doesn't matter if you lose your face, but I can't lose it. Do you understand?"

Chu Taiping had a coercive tone, and left after saying this coldly.

Chu Taiping has always only cared about his own face, as for what happened to them, he didn't care much.

Chu Yurou walked in the front and talked to Mo Shuang from time to time, Mo Shuang responded with one or two, and Chu Xixi followed behind without speaking, just thinking about what might happen later.

When a few people arrived, the adults of each family had already arrived at the firewood, and some even started to drink with each other.

At the dinner table, the lords and wives toasted each other and chatted about business affairs.Chu Xixi sat next to Chu Manlian, Chu Yurou sat opposite her, and Mo Shuang sat next to his father.

"Isn't this the third lady of the Chu family? Why did you come here?!" Someone from the family said.

Everyone hadn't noticed it before, but when they heard the man's yelling, they all turned their eyes to Chu Xixi who had just arrived.

Chu Xixi was startled, and realized that someone must want to see her make a fool of herself, that's why she was so ostentatious, with a sneer in her heart, but she still had that gentle and gentle look on her face.

He got up and said very politely, "Xixi is late, please forgive me."

Chu Xixi was originally a likable person, and she was so knowledgeable and reasonable when she spoke. Those who were a little annoyed that she was late all thought that her tutor was very good.

"The third lady is more gentle and elegant than the legend says. Master Chu must be very proud to have such an outstanding daughter!"

One of the masters couldn't help but praised him. Chu Taiping looked at his daughter Chu Xixi. He was originally angry at Xixi's lateness, but when he heard other people's praise, his anger was half gone, but there was still some anger on his face. dissatisfied.

Since he was abruptly pulled out of the crowd by someone with a heart, that kind of compliment is absolutely necessary.

Chu Xixi smiled politely, greeted the elders one by one, then returned to her seat, and sat beside Chu Manlian.

Chu Manlian originally wanted to make Chu Xixi look ugly, but unexpectedly let her show her face in front of everyone, and her heart was filled with resentment.

"A concubine's concubine dares to show such a big show. No, I want to show her some color, so that she can remember it long." Chu Manlian muttered viciously in her heart, looking at the wine table where the cups were intertwined, Make a plan.

"Daddy, just drinking is so boring. Why don't you just listen to some music. What do you think?" Chu Manlian said playfully, but the mischievousness seemed out of place on her usual gloomy face.

"Hey! That's a good idea. It would be great to play some music to cheer up the fun. What do you think?"

I don't know which son it is, it is probably what Chu Manlian said in advance, Chu Xixi didn't make a sound, and let them perform like clowns.

"Okay, okay, I agree!"

Seeing that everyone present agreed, Chu Manlian directly grabbed the hand of Chu Xixi beside her, "My sister Chu Xixi specially prepared a song for today's dinner, everyone here may wish to listen to it and taste it!"

After Chu Manlian finished speaking, she turned to look at Chu Xixi, smiled and said, "My sister has been preparing for tonight for a long time."

As he spoke, he picked up the flute that was placed next to his bench and stuffed it into Chu Xixi's hand. Chu Xixi sat on his seat, looking at the flute that was forced into his hand, with a slightly mocking angle on his mouth.

In the current situation, it was impossible for Chu Xixi to refuse, but Chu Xixi had never touched this flute before, so she didn't know how to start at all. Chu Xixi held the flute, thought for a while, and came up with a plan.

"Huh? What's the matter with this flute?" Xixi pretended to be curious and asked, and everyone came over curiously after hearing what she said.

"What's wrong?" someone asked.

"Xixi doesn't know either, but it's probably because Xixi has little knowledge, so I can't see why."

Chu Xixi smiled softly, apologetic all over her face, everyone couldn't say anything more when they saw her like this, but they all felt a little disappointed.

"Xixi is not skilled enough. I don't know the beauty of this flute. It makes everyone laugh. But my sister Man Lian is famous for playing the flute. If you don't mind, let my sister play for you."

Chu Xixi didn't know what came to her mind, she suddenly said with a smile, and then handed the flute in front of Chu Manlian, her eyes were full of pride where no one could see.

Chu Manlian stared at the flute she handed over, feeling very uneasy, and hesitated to reach out to take it. This flute was made by herself, but I don't know how Chu Xixi saw it.

Now it can't be said that there is something wrong with this flute, after all, he brought it with him, so he can't say that he brought a bad flute on purpose.

Chu Manlian's thoughts flickered, and she couldn't make up her mind for a while, so Chu Xixi didn't urge her, but just looked at Chu Manlian with her flute.

"Sister, why don't you pick up the flute?"

After a while, seeing that she still didn't answer, Chu Xixi was a little impatient, but she still looked at Chu Manlian innocently, "What's the matter, sister, are you nervous? It's okay, you are one of the best flute players, so you are not afraid of embarrassment."

Chu Xixi waved the flute in front of Chu Manlian, "Hurry up, everyone is waiting, we can't let the Chu family lose face!"

Chu Manlian looked at the elders sitting at the table, then at her father, and finally stood up, "I can't play this flute either..."

"Ah? Why, sister? You are so good at playing the flute, how can there be a flute that you can't play!!——" Chu Xixi asked in pretended surprise, but her eyes were full of cold smiles.

"I... have a problem with this flute."

Chu Manlian thought for a long time before telling the truth. If she didn't say that, then she would definitely want to play the flute face to face, but no matter how good she is at the flute, how can she play beautiful music on this blocked flute?

Chu Yurou on the side saw Chu Xixi provoking Chu Manlian like this, and felt a little anxious, don't fail to achieve the effect in the end and be turned back by Chu Xixi, thinking so, she immediately stood up.

"Sister Man Lian, why don't you check the flute first, it's not ugly if it's ugly like this!"

On the surface, Chu Yurou pretended to speak for Xixi, but in fact...

"Sister Xixi, we are all sisters, and your sister Man Lian didn't do it on purpose. You just know that there is something wrong with this flute, so don't encourage Man Lian to play it..."
