Chapter 164: "Gathering" for a feast
Old Mrs. Yang is not so easy to fool, even if Yang Ziyue said it beautifully, it did not shake her opinion on Liao's deception.
Seeing that Old Taijun Yang was still angry, Liao immediately stepped forward and said: "Old Taijun, you don't know how much my expenditure has been reduced since I took charge of the internal affairs of the Yang Mansion, will I do something to deceive you for the sake of petty profits?" ”
Yang Zixin wanted to sneer when she heard this, after the Liao family just took over, she directly cut the food and clothing of the other ladies and aunts, forcing everyone's living standards to decline again and again, can the large amount of money saved in this way not reduce the family's expenses?
Mrs. Yang didn't ask about these processes, she only knew that the result was indeed less, and when Liao took it out at this moment, she couldn't help but hesitate.
Knowing that this kind of trivial matter can't hurt the foundation of the Liao family's first room, at this time, a foundation that is not good for the Liao family's first room has been laid, and in the heart of Mrs. Yang, it's okay.
So, Yang Zixin glanced at Yang Ziqi again.
Yang Ziqi sat back next to Mrs. Yang and said coquettishly: "Grandmother, but I still want to eat the snacks of Xile Fang, when I was a child, when my aunt was still alive, she always fed me snacks with her own hands, and now I occasionally think of my aunt, I hope that my grandmother will take pity, so let me still use the snacks of Xile Fang, right?" ”
Mrs. Yang heard Yang Ziqi mention her biological mother, and she was also a little embarrassed in her heart, Yang Ziqi's biological mother Aunt He was also very pleasing to Mrs. Yang, and after she died of illness, Mrs. Yang was also sad for a while.
"Okay, Qi'er, you can use the snacks from Joy Square in the future." Mrs. Yang patted Yang Ziqi, who was already red-eyed, distressedly, and glared at Liao by the way, who became more and more afraid to speak.
"Thank you, grandmother." Yang Ziqi thanked her with tears, and raised her head to look at Mrs. Yang innocently, "Grandmother, I remember that our family used to sit together to eat back then, and it was lively at that time. Now you're not in good health, you're alone in the small kitchen in your yard and you're on the fire, Qi'er can't remember how long it's been since we've had a meal with you, if Grandmother allows it, why don't we have a meal with a family at noon today, okay? ”
Mrs. Yang had long been touched by Yang Ziqi's words, and seemed to see the prosperous and harmonious family in the past, and looked at the group of people who were now crowded in the front hall of her courtyard, and her heart was inevitably a little bitter. Thinking of borrowing Yang Ziqi to make this request, everyone will have a meal together and find the atmosphere of harmony before.
"Okay, that's it, the whole family will go to the front hall for dinner today, and I'll go too." Mrs. Yang responded with a smile.
"Grandmother, that's great!" Yang Ziqi cheered happily, hugged Mrs. Yang, and leaned on her affectionately, making Mrs. Yang laugh again.
When everyone laughed, Yang Zixin and Yang Ziqi quietly exchanged a smug look.
Coming out of Mrs. Yang's courtyard, the Liao family glared at Yang Ziqi fiercely.
The latter shrugged, pulled his lips and smiled, and left with Yang Zixin.
After a few more words with Yang Ziqi along the way, Yang Zixin went back to her yard, and Qiu Ju had not come back yet.
"Dongmei, you go to Doctor Lu and ask him to get ready, after noon, at the medical hall near Yang's Mansion at any time, and promise that if we want to find him, he will appear immediately." Yang Zixin commanded Dongmei behind her.
After Dongmei left, Yang Zixin walked in the courtyard in a circle again, eager to see Tang Yuanhui now, if she didn't need to avoid suspicion, she really couldn't help but go to Tang Yuanhui by herself!
Seeing that it was almost noon, the large kitchen of the Yang Mansion was already busy for today's family dinner, and the smoke of the cooking rose to the sky, wafting away with the fragrance of food.
"Miss, Qiu Ju is back!" After informing Doctor Lu, Dongmei had been looking forward to it outside, and finally looked forward to Qiu Ju's return.
Yang Zixin hurriedly walked out, and when she saw Qiu Ju, she asked, "What did Tang Shizi say?" ”
Qiu Ju glanced behind her, and saw Tang Yuanhui, who was hiding on the branch, jump down, and said with a smile: "Little Zixin, I followed the instructions on your post and quietly touched all the way in." ”
Yang Zixin hurriedly pulled Tang Yuanhui's sleeve and pulled him into the courtyard.
Tang Yuanhui was so happy that he automatically and spontaneously followed Yang Zixin into the courtyard: "Little Zixin, you think of me so much?" I'm so impressed! ”
Yang Zixin was sure that she would not be seen by outsiders, so she turned around and was about to knock Tang Yuanhui on the head, and said, "Tang Yuanhui, I have something important to ask you for help this time, don't give me a hippie smile." ”
Tang Yuanhui patted his chest and was triumphant: "You are right to find me, how many people say that I am good at everything, this reliable service is the best among them!" ”
Yang Zixin, who couldn't stand it, couldn't help but roll her eyes, glared at Tang Yuanhui and said, "I won't talk to you anymore, I'll ask you now, there is something that may offend my father, do you dare to do it?" ”
"Prime Minister Yang? Uh......" Tang Yuanhui touched his chin, "After all, it is my future father-in-law, and I will definitely not have a good time after I offend him, but ......" Seeing that Yang Zixin was about to turn around and leave, Tang Yuanhui hurriedly turned around and said proudly, "Little Zixin, you let me do it, even the emperor Laozi and I Tang Yuanhui will also do it!" Say, what is it about going up the sword mountain and going down to the sea of fire? ”
"It's not very difficult, as long as you give full play to your three-inch tongue." Yang Zixin said very restrainedly, "When it is noon, I will send a signal to Qiu Ju, and she will bring you into the door, you will come to visit me as a business, and then look at my eyes, and when the time comes, you will tell you that Yang Ziying was defiled by Luo Jingyu in front of my father." ”
Tang Yuanhui was excited, it seemed that his previous wish to join the house fight incident was about to come true!
"Good, good! I'll do whatever you say. Tang Yuanhui immediately responded.
Yang Zixin said again: "In addition, I still need you to add some things to go in, and when I pour it, I will push it all to Luo Jingyu after drinking." ”
As he spoke, Yang Zixin told Tang Yuanhui about Bai Haoran handing Luo Jingyu an invitation letterhead, and asked him to remember that he must remember to emphasize that the letterhead was written on the eldest lady of the Yang Mansion.
Soon smelled the smell of conspiracy, Tang Yuanhui looked at Yang Zixin with some surprise: "Xiao Zixin, I hope the possibility that flashed through my mind just now is not true-did that Aunt Liao of your family really want to ruin your reputation in the first place?!" ”
"Not so." Yang Zixin shrugged indifferently, looking very relaxed.
Tang Yuanhui was going crazy: "Don't you be so calm, okay?" I can't stand it anymore, it turns out that the house fight is so bloody! ”
Yang Zixin wanted to say more, but when she saw Qiu Ju peeping in from outside the courtyard door, she knew that the banquet in the front hall must be ready, and someone came to spread the word that she had gone over for lunch.
"You go quickly, someone is coming, you just need to remember to explain these things one by one, and I'll take care of the rest." Yang Zixin hurriedly pushed Tang Yuanhui, and was about to walk outside the courtyard gate.
Tang Yuanhui had already realized that this was not child's play, and he became serious at the moment, so he quickly jumped on the wall a few times and hid in a tree in the courtyard.
Just in time to invite Yang Zixin's little maid to come over.
Yang Zixin followed the little maid to the front hall, and a large family of warblers and Yanyan all arrived one after another.
Mrs. Yang on the throne also wore gorgeous new clothes today, since the year before last, she rarely came to the front hall to eat, and all rooms gradually dispersed back to their own yards to eat, today looking at the rare gathering scene, Mrs. Yang also had a happy look on her face, and couldn't help but sigh: "It would be better if Hao'er and Chu'er could come back from the school and gather with us." ”
Yang Ziqi said with a smile on the side: "When the eldest brother and the second brother come back from a long vacation, our family will have more reunions to eat together." ”
"Good, good." Mrs. Yang nodded and smiled again and again.
Yang Dehai used to think that it was very troublesome for a large family to eat, but when he saw that his old mother was really happy, his face also showed a little appearance, and he waved his hand and said, "Then let's start eating." ”
Everyone raised their chopsticks and began to eat.
According to common sense, there must be no shortage of toasts at the table, but Yang Mansion has always had few men, and Yang Dehai doesn't care if anyone comes to toast.
Unexpectedly, Yang Zixin toasted one by one today.
first gave Yang Lao Taijun a cup of congratulatory wine that was as blessed as the East China Sea, and then gave Yang Dehai a cup of blessing wine that was rising step by step. Yang Zi's heart is also sweet, and her playful and festive words make the two of them very happy.
Everyone also learned to toast Yang Taijun and Yang Dehai one by one, and after a circle, both of them were already a little drunk.
Yang Zixin looked at it almost, so she asked Dongmei, who was waiting on the side, to pour herself a glass of wine, and raised her glass to Liao with a smile: "Aunt Liao, I know that after my mother left, you took care of me a lot, recently Xin'er was naughty and did something to make my aunt angry, today's atmosphere is good, Xin'er also toasts you with a glass of wine, which is considered to be an apology." ”
Liao was stuffing the dish into his mouth, and suddenly heard Yang Zixin's move, and he couldn't adapt to it, and he couldn't get used to it, and he couldn't match the dish in his mouth, and looked at Yang Zixin in a daze.
Yang Ziyue hurriedly reached out and stabbed Liao on the side.
"Oh, heart, you see what kind words you say." Liao immediately came back to his senses, swallowed the dish while hurriedly summoning the maid to pour himself wine, who wouldn't do this face-saving thing?
"Your heart is big, sometimes it is inevitable that you have some ideas of your own, but my aunt ignores them." After taking the poured wine glass, Liao put on a good wife and mother's appearance, and drank the wine that Yang Zixin saluted with a smile.
Yang Zixin also drank it all in one gulp, and looked at Liao with a smile: "Auntie is really reasonable, thank you for your kindness." ”
Liao listened to the heart, but everyone else around him admired this harmonious scene, and Liao couldn't say anything to stab Yang Zixin, so he could only be modest with one or two words of "it should be".
Yang Zixin raised a glass to Yang Ziyue again: "Second sister, I will toast you with this cup, we are the closest in age, and I have always been the best with you in the past. ”
These words are high-sounding, Yang Ziyue just doesn't want to drink it, so she can only drink it with a smile, and she has to keep smiling and moving.
Yang Ziying was very uneasy on the side, secretly scolding Yang Zixin for being hypocritical, and was afraid that it would be her turn next.
And Yang Zixin's ultimate goal is Yang Ziying, in the morning, it was determined that the medicine residue is used to regulate the body, Yang Zixin knew that Yang Ziying must be very weak, and today she made up her mind to let Yang Ziying vomit again in front of everyone, and took this opportunity to forcibly ask Yang Ziying to ask the doctor to "see the disease" for her.
"Third sister." Yang Zixin poured a glass of wine again, and raised it to Yang Ziying, who was two places away from her, "I'll toast you another glass of wine, I hope you and I will be as good as before in the future." ”
Yang Ziying looked at the wine glass in embarrassment, her body was absolutely not allowed to drink, so she could only grit her teeth and refuse: "Big sister, I am not good at drinking, please understand." ”
