Chapter 958: Digging a pit and burying mines
Unpleasant things are like thunderstorms in the middle of summer in Meiwan, accompanied by rumbling thunder. Stir up a cloud of smoke and rain, leaving a rainbow and dissipating without a trace.
The sun sets over the sea, and a rainbow stretches across the sky and sea. Sitting in the old mansion drinking and enjoying the beautiful scenery, Ye Tian quickly put the unpleasantness just now behind him.
Fifty-year-old wine, even the Peng family usually doesn't drink it. One table and two altars were quickly drunk by the Peng family.
At this time, Peng Tao glanced at a few cousins sitting at a table. Immediately, three cousins who had a good relationship with Peng Tao stood up and went to Ye Tian's table with wine.
The wine has been replaced by the Peng family's five-year aging, this year's wine, the Peng family's wine cellar in Meiwan has a lot of it, the taste and transformation are very good, you can't drink it, and you won't be thirsty after drinking.
Peng Hai saw Peng Tao walking towards Ye Tian with wine, and hurriedly walked over with wine.
"Peng Tao, come and sit. As soon as the fourth uncle saw Peng Tao coming over with someone, he hurriedly said to his brothers: "Let's sit with them, let them drink, and let's go and have a lively time with the juniors." After speaking, the first one stood up and went to Peng Tao's table with his wine glass.
The affairs of the juniors, the elders are really not easy to manage. Especially Meiwan has had the habit of drinking and marrying since ancient times, and this kind of thing with joy and respect, it is not appropriate for the elders to interfere arbitrarily.
The uncle looked at Ye Tian with some concern and said to Peng Hai and Peng Tao: "Ye Tian came from afar and was tired of driving and boating, you just have to play around, don't delay the incense and pray for blessings tomorrow." ”
"Don't worry, uncle. Peng Tao said lightly: "Ye Tian is a distinguished guest of the Peng family, if he doesn't receive him according to the customs of the Peng family in Meiwan, he will spread it to say that our Peng family's etiquette is not good, do you say it's big brother." Peng Tao returned what Peng Hai had just said intact.
Speaking of which, if the uncle says anything more, he will be at a disadvantage.
The maid replaced the used cutlery and replaced it with new ones for several people. According to the custom, everyone first drank a glass of wine together.
"Ye Tian, the older generation of Meiwan likes this kind of small wine cup, but we are young people, I think we should replace it with a wine glass, right? ”
"Peng Tao, the bull's eye cup is not small, just drink it with this. ”
"Big brother, you're wrong. Peng Tao shook his head and said: "You don't usually go out of southern Fujian, how can northerners use this kind of small wine cup to drink, it's all cups." With such a stingy wine cup, it will make people think that we are not enthusiastic. ”
"Brother, you're right. Ye Tian pretended to have a youthful and resolute expression: "We all use wine glasses when we drink in the north, so let's change the wine glass." ”
"Ye Tian, Peng Tao and Peng Ding Peng Pai can drink a few of them, you can't drink with them like this, they want to drink you!" Peng Hai deliberately sat next to Ye Tian, and when he saw that Ye Tian actually promised Peng Tao to change his wine glass, he hurriedly whispered to Ye Tian.
"Hehe, big brother, don't worry. Ye Tian leaned on Peng Hai's ear and said, "Just a few of them, I can give them half of my stomach to drink." I've seen that a few of them are not pleasing to the eye, and it would not be too embarrassing if I poured wine. Since they rushed up on their own initiative, they can't blame me. ”
Peng Tao didn't care what Peng Hai said to Ye Tian at all, if he changed his wine glass after a while and came according to the rules of Meiwan to entertain distant guests, Ye Tian would be able to be played half to death in the first circle. After the second lap, Ye Tian didn't spit on the table on the spot, even if he was massive.
The wine glasses soon came up.
It is the kind of wine glass that is commonly used by northerners to drink alcohol, and a glass can hold two taels of liquor. And the bull's eye cup here in Meiwan is not a big bull's eye cup for drinking in the northern countryside, and the bull's eye cup here is at most two dollars of liquor. In other words, the wine glass that Peng Tao replaced was the amount of ten bull's eye cups in a cup.
"Xiao Tao, you didn't drink like this according to the rules of our Peng family to entertain distinguished guests, right?"
Hearing the voice of the girl at the table next to him, Peng Tao turned his head and said with a smile: "Sister Meng, Ye Tian is not only a distinguished guest of our Peng family, but also a distinguished guest of our Meiwan. Do you think, how many years has the ancestor not dreamed of our Peng family, Ye Tian is here, isn't it the whole Meiwan is full of brilliance? I toast according to the rules of Meiwan, which is the greatest respect for your guests!"
Older women are not allowed to serve at the table, but young people of their generation like Peng Tao and Peng Hai are all highly educated, and many of them have returned from studying abroad or working overseas. It is obviously not appropriate to use this kind of ancestral teachings to regulate them. So ten years ago, the young family gatherings of the Peng family, and they would open a separate table to eat during the New Year's holidays. The older generation of women, on the other hand, ate indoors and could not be served at the banquet.
"Hmph, insidious. The girl snorted coldly and stopped talking. The rules are bigger than the sky, especially in a place like Meiwan in the Peng family's old house. Peng Tao spoke with rules, and everyone could only remind Ye Tian kindly. As everyone knows, Ye Tian is also actively using the rules of Meiwan and the Peng family to dig a pit for Peng Tao.
Ye Tian pretended to look at the wine glass, shook his head and said to Peng Tao: "Little brother, this wine glass is wrong." ”
"Ye Tian, this is what you agreed to change the wine glass. Drinking in the north is such a big wine glass, we have rules for drinking in Meiwan, you can change the wine glass, but you can only change it from small to large, which means that the road is getting wider and wider, and the money is getting more and more. Wine is water, and water is wealth. If you change back to a small wine cup, it will be unlucky, too unlucky!"
Ye Tian pretended to be surprised and said, "Ah? Meiwan still has this saying about drinking?
Peng Tao nodded, and pointed to a few cousins and cousins beside him: "Of course, and you are a distinguished guest of the Peng family, if you change to a small one, according to the custom of drinking in Meiwan, you are blaming our Peng family for not entertaining well and not drinking well." ”
"Can't you change to a smaller one?"
"Yes, but if you think it's small, you can change it to a bigger one. This is called a full house in Meiwan, because it indicates that the guests wish the host a lot of money. ”
Ye Tianyi slapped his face: "Then I'll let it out." Peng Zu treats me so well, how can I drink more wine? Come, for the Peng family, change me to a big bowl!"
As soon as Ye Tian's words came out, everyone, including the uncle, was stunned.
"What's the matter? follow the customs, even if I drink too much tonight, I have to change to a big bowl for the Peng family. Seeing that Peng Tao was about to speak, Ye Tian hurriedly said: "Little brother, you don't need to say it anymore, I, Ye Tian, have nothing else, but I am angry and emotional." You guys are so good to me, if I don't follow the rules, then I'm still a human being? Everyone changes, and whoever doesn't change pees and squats. The ancestral training of the Peng family can't break the rules. ”
Just kidding, Lao Tzu has been digging a pit with you for so long, and he can still let you run away? Ye Tian sneered in his heart, urging the servants of the Peng family to change the big sea bowl. Peng Hai looked at Peng Tao's somewhat uncertain face, and secretly sighed in his heart that he was still too young. How could Peng Zu's optimistic people be saved face by these mortals?
