Chapter 1376: It's hard to resist hospitality
He Xuan's words are not wrong at all, as a person who has come over, he is definitely qualified to teach Zhang Feng by word and deed, and to do the most standardized and correct demonstration, so that Zhang Feng will not be surrounded by the crowd at that time, and he will not know where to put his hands and feet.
"Tomorrow, I'll help you, you don't have to be too nervous, gritted your teeth and carried it, but your debut, how many parents have to look at it, this young man, good-looking and rich, and so capable, my mother said that she wants to marry you if she wants a daughter." ”
It was rare for He Xuan to see Zhang Feng so depressed, and he said these words while making fun of Zhang Feng, but the old man did say it at the time, saying that he would marry He Zhu to Zhang Feng, you must know that He Zhu is the most distressed granddaughter of the old man, and if he can say this, it seems that the old man is indeed very optimistic about Zhang Feng.
But everyone just listened to all this as a joke, and no one really took it to heart, but He Xuan knew that the old man didn't seem to want to be joking. But one was his good friend and the other was his cousin, and he didn't know what to do with either side.
Besides, when He Zhu saw Zhang Feng for the first time in the old mansion, she seemed to have some interest in Zhang Feng, she seemed to be extremely uncomfortable in front of Zhang Feng, extremely quiet, He Xuan was looking forward to what sparks they could have, but at that time he didn't know that Zhang Feng had white snow.
Later, after knowing it, He Xuan never thought about this idea in his mind, after all, this is not something worth showing off, He Xuan only thought about finding an opportunity to tell the old man that Zhang Feng had a girlfriend, lest the old man really want to match this matter at that time.
But I haven't had time to say it yet, the old man shouldn't mention it again tomorrow, otherwise the scene will be too terrifying, He Xuan couldn't help but shudder when he thought of this, if this was the case, he wouldn't be able to save Zhang Feng at that time.
Zhang Feng is not in the mood to make this kind of joke with He Xuan now, he feels that He Xuan is standing and talking now without backache, anyway, it didn't happen to him, of course he can say anything, now he is in trouble, He Xuan actually sees death and does not save him, he is too brotherly like this.
If it weren't for the banquet at his house, would he be like this, when he thought of that situation, Zhang Feng felt that his scalp began to tingle, and he didn't pay attention to He Xuan on the spot, just sat on the side and sighed, thinking about what to do when the time came.
He had to find a set of rhetoric that would be more acceptable and convincing to others, so that people would not take advantage of it. Zhang Feng was pondering when someone knocked on the door of the study, and shouted in a low voice outside: "Young Master, Madame asked me to tell you to go down and prepare to eat noodles." ”
A middle-aged woman's voice sounded outside, it should be the maid at home, He Xuan got up from the chair and answered outside: "I know, I'll go immediately." ”
"Let's go, let's start, let's go down first, don't think too much about your affairs, when the time comes, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, what are you afraid of, can those women still eat you." He Xuan looked at Zhang Feng with a smile and said, he was even looking forward to tomorrow's scene in his heart, and it must be very interesting at that time.
Zhang Feng glared at He Xuan, stood up without saying a word and went downstairs with He Xuan. Although it is late at night, the He family still looks beaming with joy, it seems that it is not too late at all, and everyone's faces are also very energetic, and there is no look of fatigue.
He Xuan took Zhang Feng to the restaurant, only to see that there were several very delicate tableware lined up on the table, and in the middle of the table was a sculpture of a birthday boy holding a longevity peach, which looked vivid, but Zhang Feng couldn't see what material it was, and he suddenly felt a little curious.
He Xuan followed Zhang Feng's eyes and saw Zhang Feng looking at the birthday guy in the middle of the table, so he whispered in his ear: "This is a noodle pinch, you don't have to look at it, it's not an antique." He guessed that Zhang Feng probably regarded this as something valuable, otherwise he would have leaned over to look at it like this.
Sure enough, when Zhang Feng heard that it was dough molding, he was surprised a lot, he didn't expect that there was someone with such good craftsmanship who could use flour to create such a realistic character and demeanor, only to see the birthday guy's high raised forehead and smiling expression on his face.
There is also the longevity peach in his hand, as well as the longevity word engraved below, and it looks very shiny, it seems that this is a very unusual work of art, it is no longer edible pasta, this pomp Zhang Feng is still the first time to see, it turns out that rich people are so happy to celebrate their birthdays.
At this time, the servants at home successively placed some exquisite cold dishes on the table, none of the plates were related to longevity, which seemed very high-end, and these plates were all complete sets, Zhang Feng was dazzled to see, Rao is he is well-informed, and he has never seen so many elements related to birthday at the same time in a family.
It seems that the He family has been preparing for this birthday banquet for a very long time, otherwise it will definitely not be able to do these things in the short term. And Zhang Feng knows that the He family does not receive guests, these are just for his family, they are already so exquisite, and the pomp and circumstance of the guests tomorrow can be imagined.
It's just that He Xuan's parents haven't come yet, and the two of them don't dare to sit down first, Zhang Feng still understands this rule, the elders don't sit down and the juniors sit down, that's too rude, not to mention that there are so many people in the He family, he must be very careful.
He and He Xuan stood next to him and whispered, at this time He Xuan's parents slowly walked down from the upstairs with the help of Old Man He, He Xuan saw this and hurriedly went over to help, He Xuan's father got out of the way, and they were very happy to see Zhang Feng.
"Zhang Feng is here, sit down quickly. Old Man He greeted Zhang Feng warmly, and Father He saw that Zhang Feng was also full of smiles, and said to He Xuan: "How can you let Xiaofeng stand, you kid is really ignorant." ”
Zhang Feng saw that Old Man He and Father He were treated like this, and he also felt very useful in his heart, and hurriedly said: "I wish Old Man He a blessing like a longevity in the East China Sea, and I have already come to eat and drink with a thick skin." Zhang Feng hurriedly said with a smile.
In fact, he still felt quite embarrassed, but he didn't expect to come over suddenly today and encounter this unexpected meal of longevity, he didn't know that the He family still had this traditional custom, he came over empty-handed, and he brought something over if he knew it, which made him a little embarrassed.
He Xuan didn't tell him in advance, so that he could be a little prepared, now that it was so sudden, Zhang Feng felt a little embarrassed, and the expression on his face was a little unnatural, eating Shou noodles at a friend's house at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, this encounter was also unique.
"It's all going to be a family soon, and you're so polite, you kid, don't see outside, you and Xiao Xuan are good friends, just treat this place as your home." Aunt Luo, go and clean up the room next to Xiao Xuan, Xiao Feng will stay here tonight. ”
Old man He is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and in a few words, he said that Zhang Feng was a member of the He family, and asked the people below to tidy up the room, which was to let Zhang Feng stay here.
When Zhang Feng heard this, this is not good, he didn't bring his birthday gift, not to mention that this clothes have to be changed, he must go back, he hurriedly said: "Don't don't, don't bother, old man, I understand your kindness, I just came back from this business trip, there are still many things that have not been dealt with, and the family knows that I came back today, I haven't been home and rushed here, I have to go back later, tomorrow morning will definitely come to you early in the morning to pay your birthday, I really can't sleep here today." ”
Zhang Feng thought that if he didn't go back to his home today, his parents would definitely be anxious, and he couldn't deal with tomorrow's occasion like this, so he quickly rejected Old Man He's kindness.
As soon as Old Man He heard Zhang Feng say this, he immediately said: "What does it matter, your parents should go to bed so late, you can just call them tomorrow and say it, or let Xiao Xuan help you talk about it, I believe they won't blame you." After so hard work, just stay here, so that you don't have to rush. ”
Old Man He seemed to insist on staying here for the night no matter what Zhang Feng said, Zhang Feng was bitter in his heart, he didn't expect Old Man He to be in such good spirits so late and his thinking was so clear, isn't this a heart to embarrass himself.
This He Xuan didn't say a word next to him, as if he was dumb, did he have to dress like this to attend the banquet tomorrow, isn't it, can He Xuan, this kid, be a little more righteous, Zhang Feng secretly complained to He Xuan in his heart.
At this time, it was still He Mu who was understanding, she whispered to Old Man He and said: "Dad, you see that Xiaofeng has just come back from a business trip, and tomorrow you will naturally have to dress up for your birthday, and he must also want to take a good shower and change his clothes after the journey, this Xiaoxuan's clothes are still slightly small for him to wear, and they don't fit, so let Xiaofeng go back to sleep, he will come early tomorrow morning, the same, you see that it is difficult for the child." ”
After He Mu finished speaking, she looked at Zhang Feng with a smile, of course she knew that many young people now have their own way of life, and they can't be too stubborn as elders, if they are always asked to do things they don't like, it will inevitably make juniors feel uncomfortable.
Father He also echoed his wife's words: "Yes, Dad, you see that Xiaofeng is so filial, and the parents at home are also waiting, let the child go back, he already knows your kindness, and next time there is nothing to do, I will stay at our house for a few days and accompany you, we all know that you like Xiaofeng, and Xiaofeng understands it in his heart." ”
didn't want Zhang Feng to be embarrassed, so they were all helping Zhang Feng to speak, so that Zhang Feng could go back at night, after all, Zhang Feng was temporarily called by He Xuan, if the old man was strong, everyone would be unhappy, which would go against the original intention of the matter.
Old man He could only relax when he heard them say this: "Okay, Xiaofeng, then my old man won't keep you today, another day, another day, you can live here with me for a few days, I know that you like the old house, it's no problem to live there, accompany my old man to talk well, Xiao Xuan is also together, my old man doesn't have a few days, and he won't bother you for too long." ”
After speaking, the old man He sighed, and seemed to be embarrassed, if he said this in normal times, it would be okay, but today is the old man's birthday banquet, although it is not yet twelve o'clock, but it is a bit too inappropriate to say this kind of thing at this time.
Everyone hurriedly gathered around to comfort the old man.
"Grandpa, you see that you are talking about this again, usually forget it, this will be your seventieth birthday after twelve o'clock, if you say this, you will be complaining that our juniors are not filial!" He Xuan hurriedly went over to coax the old man, for fear that he would say something more.
"Yes, Dad, how can you talk about this, your body and bones are so good now, I think you have no problem living for more than a hundred years, this Xiaoxuan still wants to give you a great-grandson, how good it will be for us to live together for four generations at that time." Mother He hurriedly helped the old man to walk to the dining table.
