Chapter 25: Rendezvous
Lu Jiashi appeased Xia Chunchao for a while, and then thought about Liu's and said: "I know that your words and deeds are a little reversed on weekdays, I don't know what you said to your daughter-in-law that is out of tune, and today you actually provoked her to say such heavy things in front of her relatives." Since you are angry with her, although I am your mother-in-law, it is not easy to protect my short, the palms and backs of my hands are full of meat, and it hurts to bite any of my ten fingers. Now you will listen to me, and make a difference with your daughter-in-law. For her sake, she will never be embarrassed by your mother-in-law again. Don't just care about stubbornness, make her really annoyed, I don't care, let you make trouble. ”
When Liu heard Lu Jia's words, he actually asked her to apologize to her daughter-in-law as a mother-in-law, and she fell down in anger. However, she looked around, and saw Xia Chunchao sitting on the seat with a cold face, and she didn't look at herself; daughter Sister Lu Hong sat on the side, just whispering to her to comfort; My sister Aunt Zhang hid aside, and she had no room to speak; Zhang Xueyan didn't know where to go at this time. The room full of people couldn't find anyone who could support her to speak, and Lu Jia immediately forced her to bow her head. She was originally an uninformed woman, and she was used to listening to people every day, so she was like a crab without feet at this time, and she had no idea for a while, so she had to endure it with hatred, walked to Xia Chunchao's side, and whispered: "It's my mother-in-law's, my mother-in-law is old, and my daughter-in-law will forgive me for this." ”
Xia Chunchao glanced at her, refused to let go, and only asked with a sneer: "Is my mother-in-law talking to me?" I am a merchant daughter, where can I dare to accept a gift from my mother-in-law? Since the mother-in-law said that she was wrong, what is wrong? Liu gritted his teeth and said for a long time: "I have a heart covered with lard, my old back is obscure, I talk in vain, and I am a daughter-in-law." My daughter-in-law only looks at me for my old sake, and if she can forgive, she will forgive. ”
Xia Chunchao saw her in front of everyone, and spit out these words with a red face, and she knew that she was already full. Seeing that Lu Jia's strength was maneuvering, the anger in his heart gradually subsided, and he smiled lightly: "Since it is a mother-in-law, it will be good." What if it's just a matter of taking a concubine? Liu gritted his teeth and said: "According to what the old lady said, if you dare to mention it in the future, you will not be spared." ”
Xia Chunchao was satisfied and silent.
Lu Jiashi saw that her face turned pale, so he sat down with everyone. Aunt Zhang smacked her lips and sat shallow next to Liu's, her head lowered, trembling, and she didn't dare to speak. Liu was also ashamed of being rude, and was shocked by Xia Chunchao, so he also stepped down from the table and beckoned the girl to pour wine and vegetables. She was not used to Zhang Luo, and she felt that it was not right to make amends to her daughter-in-law in front of her family, and she lost face, so she suffocated her old face red. Xia Chunchao only didn't see it, sat on the seat, and didn't look at her.
At this time, Zhang Xueyan shook in from outside. Seeing this, she was full of surprise and asked, "What's the matter?" After going out for a while, my aunt fell upside down, but my cousin was sitting here. ”
Xia Chunchao saw her come in, her face was powdery, she knew that she was crying outside, and seeing that there were no tears on her face, he guessed that she must have come in after listening to her closer. Because she didn't mean well when she heard these two words, she immediately smiled and said, "My cousin is back, and I just had a good talk with my cousin, but my cousin suddenly left the table, but why?" That Zhang Xueyan didn't answer and asked: "I have always heard that my cousin-in-law is filial and virtuous, and knows etiquette and etiquette, why did she see her mother-in-law busy walking around, and she sat so loudly?" I've never seen a daughter-in-law like this anywhere else. ”
Xia Chun sneered: "There are many things you haven't seen in this world." Whether my cousin's surname is Zhang or Lu, she takes care of our family's affairs. A girl who hasn't left the pavilion, but her arms are stretched out so long, isn't she ashamed? As she spoke, she paused slightly, nodded her head, and then smiled: "Yes, I forgot again." The cousin should be surnamed Liu. ”
When Zhang Xueyan heard these words, she just smashed them in the face. She originally wanted to use the name of filial piety to give Xia Chunchao a big sin. Who knows that this summer and spring dynasty looks kind and supple on weekdays, but at this moment, it is like a white rose in the moon, tied up with his hands. The words were ruthless, and every sentence stabbed her in pain. Rao is she is smooth and wise on weekdays, but in the end she is just a girl who hasn't gone out, and she still wants that face, and her face that was stabbed when she was stabbed was hot, and she couldn't speak.
Seeing that her daughter was in distress, Aunt Zhang hurriedly came to the rescue, and opened her mouth to say, "Snow girl, come here." Your sister-in-law jokes with you, but you must not be serious. The girl is just hot and hot wine, you can eat a cup. Zhang Xueyan saw her mother handing over the steps, hurriedly moved over, sat next to Aunt Zhang, and hung her head silently.
I only heard Xia Chunchao Zhengse say: "Auntie's words are wrong, how could I ever joke with my cousin?" Since my cousin is holding the lady's Ming'er, she should be more respectful. The three of them were speechless, and Lu Jiashi tried his best to maneuver again, and everyone stopped mentioning it.
Because of this big commotion, the women at the table have long lost the mind to eat and drink. Lu Jiashi pushed the old man and was tired, and went back to the room to rest. Liu also hurriedly said that the wine was enough, and left with Aunt Zhang's mother and daughter.
Xia Chunchao saw that everyone had dispersed, so he called a few housekeepers' daughters-in-law and instructed: "Lead people to clean up the banquet, and put all the utensils used today into the warehouse, and I will check when I go back." After saying that, he took the girl down and went back to the room. Sister Lu Hong also hurriedly walked off the table, stepped forward to take her sister-in-law's hand, and the two went all the way back.
On the way, Sister Lu Hong smiled at Xia Chunchao and said, "Sister-in-law is really majestic today, and she scolded the shameless mother and daughter." They should have a good life, otherwise they would really think they were from this family. Xia Chunchao glanced at her and said with a smile: "It's also your aunt and cousin, you demean them like this." Sister Lu Hong pouted and said: "What kind of relatives are they, they haven't seen each other for more than ten years, they have made an accident outside, and they come back to run away in disgrace, and they live by beating their relatives all day long." They don't know how to wear it, but since people have reached this point, they should settle down, and whoever is like them wants to instigate discord in other people's homes. I've never seen such a relative. ”
Xia Chunchao smiled slightly and said, "You have the idea in your heart." Sister Lu Hong said: "I don't have any ideas, but I only know one thing, my sister-in-law is wholeheartedly planning to live for the family." Whoever bullies my sister-in-law, I can't tolerate her. As the two spoke, they turned the courtyard gate, and Xia Chunchao suddenly remembered an incident and asked, "Why don't you see your aunt coming over today?" Sister Lu Hong smiled: "Sister-in-law is busy and forgot, yesterday someone from my uncle's house said that my aunt was sick with a cold." My sister-in-law sent someone to visit and sent a bag of steamed cakes from our house. Xia Chunchao listened and smiled: "I made them make trouble, and I was also dizzy." Seeing the head of the house, he asked Sister Lu Hong to go in and sit.
Sister Lu Hong excused herself and smiled: "My brother is coming home today, I think there must be a lot of thoughtful things to say to my sister-in-law for a while." Am I here to hinder his eyes? As he spoke, he smiled and went away.
Xia Chunchao walked back to the house, Bao'er came up to pick up the clothes, handed her tea to eat, and said, "It's too early to eat and drink today." Zhu'er smiled: "It's not too early to disperse, it's a big scene." Today, our grandmother is really raising her eyebrows. Bao'er hurriedly asked, "For what reason, I haven't heard any wind here." Zhu'er told her about today's banquet, and said with a smile: "Have you ever seen that grandma is so majestic at the banquet, and the wife is too reprimanded to speak, and even the old lady has to come down to toast and pay compensation." The two who came from outside, not to mention, were all shrunken kings. What kind of cousin girl, she still has to come up to talk to grandma, and tell grandma to beat her mouth, and her face falls to the ground and can't be picked up. ”
When Bao'er heard this, she also clapped her hands and applauded: "That's it, I usually say that our grandma is too sexual." This person looked at his grandmother's gentleness, and thought it was easy to bully, and they all climbed on their heads. Mrs. is just that, Heng Zhu is an elder. Those two relatives from the other eight roads are nothing, and they are also in charge. After only two days of full food, he will make waves. Now I want them to know who is in charge of this family! ”
Xia Chunchao sat on the chair and ate tea, ignoring the two of them talking, paused for a moment, and said, "The young master is eating wine outside, so he may not come back from eating." If you two go to the kitchen and get two eggs, a handful of noodles, and a few greens, I'll be useful. Zhu'er was too lazy to go because she had been with her for a day, so she pushed Bao'er out. Xia Chunchao saw her slippery, sent Bao'er to the kitchen, and smiled at her: "Since Bao'er went, you can make a stove with me under the porch." When Zhu'er heard this, she mourned again and again, so she had no choice but to go.
Bao'er came back with vegetable noodles, and Zhu'er also fanned the stove. Xia Chunchao made a small brass pot used in his house, beat half a pot of water and put it on the stove. After a short period of water boiling, she asked Zhu'er to warm the fire, just waiting for Lu Chengyong to come back.
After a short time like this, Lu Chengyong came back from Shi Shiran in front of him, and he wanted to hug her when he came up.
Xia Chunchao continued, and felt a smell of wine on his face, and saw the two girls hiding on the side, squeezing their eyebrows and laughing, so he pushed him with a red face, and said angrily: "I just came back from eating, and if I don't wash or rinse, I will come to make trouble." And in front of the girl, what did it look like? Lu Chengyong smiled and said: "I know your problem, since you dislike it, I'll wash it up." "As soon as he called out to the girl for water.
Xia Chunchao stopped him and asked, "Have you ever eaten?" Lu Chengyong said: "I only care about eating wine at the banquet, where can I eat." Xia Chunchao nodded and said, "You go and freshen up, I'll cook a green vegetable noodle for you to eat." ”
It turned out that although there was a big quarrel with her mother-in-law at the banquet, it was her mother-in-law who disregarded her shame and had nothing to do with her. When she saw that her husband had just entered the house, although she had the intention to discuss family affairs with him, she could not bear to spoil his interest, so she put it down for the time being.
Sent Lu Chengyong away, she first broke an egg, threw a loose egg into the boiling water in the pot, and then put the noodles in. When the dough is cooked to eight minutes, another egg is beaten, but it is not broken, and a poached egg is made. Just seeing that the noodles and eggs were cooked, the vegetables were scalded, so I put a few grains of salt, a little balsamic vinegar, and a few drops of sesame oil, and served it in with my own hands.
Lu Chengyong also finished changing clothes and freshening up, saw his wife come in with green vegetable noodles, and hurriedly sat down at the table.
Xia Chunchao put down the bowl, Lu Chengyong looked at it, and saw that there was a pool of blue water in the celadon bowl, the silver filament was coiled, the green vegetables were floating, and there was a smooth and white poached egg lying on it, the aroma was fragrant, and it was really appetizing.
Xia Chunchao picked up a noodle from the handmaker, handed it to his mouth, and said with a smile: "The dumplings that are sent off will last a long time this time." Lu Chengyong smiled at her: "When I was at the border, I only thought about your craft. After saying that, he took a bite of her hand. Sure enough, the fragrance was full, so he took the chopsticks and feasted on it, and a bowl of green vegetable noodles was all in the Five Organs Temple.
After eating the noodles, Bao'er came up with a mouthwash of tea, and Zhu'er cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks. Lu Chengyong rinsed his mouth and only looked at Xia Chunchao one by one.
Xia Chunchao was packing up for him, and he didn't have time to pay attention to it, when he suddenly felt dazzled, and the world turned upside down in front of him, and it turned out that Lu Chengyong actually stopped her and carried her by the waist. She didn't guard against this change, panicked, and opened her mouth to scold: "What is this doing, Qingtian and Bairi are so unserious, don't let me go quickly!" Lu Chengyong laughed and said loudly: "Your father-in-law has been a monk at the border for a few years, and it is easy to return home, and you are about to say goodbye to your wife." The lady can't bear it like this?! With that, he strode towards the back room.
Seeing this situation, Bao'er Zhu'er and the two girls hurriedly took the door and went out.
