said that Zhang Xueyan was at the table, and she couldn't survive the humiliation of Xia Chunchao's words, so she hurriedly escaped from the table. walked to the courtyard gate and bumped into Lu Zhiwen.

Lu Zhiwen looked at her with a sneaky eye, and saw that her face was like a peach blossom, and her eyes were full of spring water, thinking that she had eaten a few glasses of wine at the banquet, and a state of spring love came out from the inside, which was more coquettish than when she was in the hall. He looked her up and down, and saw that her eyes were red, and said, "I can't eat a few glasses of wine, and I have been filled with them again, so I came out for a walk and sobered up." He asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with my sister, who bullied my sister?" ”

When Zhang Xueyan heard this, she suddenly felt aggrieved, her nose was sour, her eyes were full of pearls, she couldn't bear it again, and laughed softly: "You and I can't afford to provoke that person, what does my brother only consult?" Hurry back to the table, and wait carefully for a while, and they will take the brother's penalty wine and eat. Lu Zhiwen saw her smiling and smiling, and her eyebrows were even more uncontrollable.

At this time, the Liu family sent the girl Changchun out to look for Zhang Xueyan. Zhang Xueyan saw it with sharp eyes, and hurriedly left Lu Yanwen to step forward, and deliberately said loudly: "Is the eldest girl looking for me?" I'm just going for a walk. When Changchun saw that he was looking for her, he stood up and said, "The girl came here and told me to find it." The old lady, the wife, and the relatives of the family were waiting for the girl, and the girl should go back quickly. Zhang Xueyan said: "It's just that I came out for a walk, and I was panicking, and the people who were urging were in a hurry." After speaking, he couldn't stop looking back, but he saw that Lu Zhenwen had never gone, still staring at himself, his face turned red, and he turned around and left.

When Lu Yanwen saw the girl coming, he knew that it was rare to get his hands today, so he had to go.

Back to the table, only Lu Zhenren asked a few words, and Lu Zhenwen replied perfunctorily: "It's just that my face was covered by wine, and I walked around the backyard, and I came back after cleaning my hands." When others heard it, let alone theorizing, they diverged.

Lu Zhiwen sat on the seat, thinking only of the people he saw in his heart, thinking of Zhang Xueyan's provocative feelings, his heart was itching, but he didn't know how to get it. After thinking about it in my heart, I suddenly remembered one thing: I saw that this Nizi was not a serious person, and since she had the idea of fighting with her mother, she thought that something would happen in the future. I waited patiently, until she fell into my hands, and there was that thing, and I was afraid that she would not obediently listen to me. After thinking about it like this, when Zhang Xueyan was already in control, she couldn't help but be proud, and she gave orders with her cousin Lu Chengyong.

Besides, Xia Chunchao's words provoked Zhang Xueyan, but she sat firmly on the seat, and swept everyone around the table with a pair of wonderful eyes, and then fixed on Aunt Zhang. Seeing that her face was full of shame and uncertain, she turned to her again, and smiled: "Auntie, can I say that I have a good idea?" My cousin is also very old, so I just stay at home for fear of leaving me worried. I see an adult man in my house now, and my cousin is not afraid of tarnishing his reputation when he comes here again and again? As he spoke, he suddenly smiled and said, "Yes, how did I forget." My cousin is now a widow, and she swore that she would never marry if she was not dead. This kind of ambition really makes women like me admire. Since my cousin has this will, she must be chaste and have no more distractions. That's a nasty thing that definitely can't be done, going back on one's word, secretly showing one's position, and stealing chickens and dogs. ”

When she said this, Aunt Zhang's face turned red, and then turned white, beads of sweat trickled down her forehead, Rao was witty and changeable in the past, and she lost her ability to cope at this moment. Zhang Xueyan was determined not to marry, but she told her six relatives when she first came - just for the sake of fame. Do you want to beat yourself up and argue with the Xia Chun Dynasty now? What's more, this Xia Chunchao is a junior, if she has a seizure in the court, won't she lose the dignity of her elders? At the moment, Aunt Zhang is really a bit dumb and eats Coptis chinensis - there is an unspeakable situation of bitterness.

Aunt Zhang was already extremely embarrassed, but Xia Chunchao refused to give up, saying: "Since my cousin is a festival woman, she should cherish her own name." There are adult men in my family, and even though they are close relatives, they should also avoid suspicion. Or my aunt and cousin are both strange among women, and they don't even take the world's reputation in their eyes. However, we are laymen after all, not to mention that the old man and young master are still an official, going out, walking around in the officialdom, and having a little face, but they don't dare to provoke this kind of gossip. In the future, I will ask for a copy of ginseng, saying that my house is not clear, then we can't afford it. My aunt took my cousin and ran to our house one by one, just because the family was difficult. What's so difficult about this, my aunt's family still needs a few taels of silver to survive, tell me directly. Although I am poor, it is not difficult to take care of my aunt's family's food and clothing. lest my aunt be worried and come to our house every day to beg for money! ”

Her words were like several big slaps in the face, hitting Aunt Zhang in the face. not only ridiculed the mother and daughter, but also disregarded the shame, knowing that there was a foreign man in the family, and still came up to stick to it. He also sarcastically ridiculed the poverty of the Zhang family, and only relied on the autumn style to survive. No matter how thick-skinned Aunt Zhang was, she couldn't feel that she could survive, so she got up and was about to leave, and she shouted: "She ruined our mother and daughter like this, what are we still doing here?!" It's better to go, so as not to disturb people's eyes! ”

Liu panicked, hurriedly got up, pulled his sister-in-law, persuaded him with good words, and scolded Xia Chunchao on the other hand: "You prostitute, it's just a matter of bullying and destroying the small at home on weekdays." Why are you even offended by your relatives today?! Don't you kowtow to your aunt to make amends! As he spoke, seeing Xia Chunchao sitting still, he scolded again: "Sure enough, it's a businessman's daughter, and she can't be on the stage!" ”

Xia Chunchao didn't listen to this, but when he heard this, his anger surged even more. Immediately, the willow eyebrows were raised, and no matter what etiquette and rules were observed, he opened his mouth to his mother-in-law and shouted: "What about the merchant's daughter?!" This family's food inside and out, which one of them didn't I earn?! When I entered your house, the poor in this family were eager to be pants, and even the girl wanted to make a shoe, and asked me for cloth! When I was at home, although my family was not high, I grew up with fine clothes and food all day long, and my father and brother held it. But since I entered the door, have you frowned? I consider myself to have entered your Lu family, and I am the daughter-in-law of your Lu family, and I will help you get by. My family was poor, so I made my own dowry, and asked my mother's family to borrow money and make up money to do business. At the beginning, business was light, I went around, ran around every day, and suffered a lot of hardships outside, and I couldn't tell the troubles. But when I came home, you only laughed at me for showing up, where did you ask me! Didn't I subdue the tenants in the countryside one by one, settle accounts with them one by one, and then they paid the rent year after year? It's easy to relax, and the young master said that he wants to find a future in the army, and he needs to use money. I have not said a word, and I have lost all my dowry. Not to mention, the renovation and expansion of this old house, the purchase of a village property in the countryside and other things. Now you have been used, and you have stepped on Pingchuan Road with both feet, but you want to get people to come in to support my nest, and you laugh at me for being a merchant's daughter. Without me, a merchant's daughter, your family drinks the northwest wind! ”

She said a lot of words in one go, panting a little, paused and pointed to Liu's face and said, "On that day, it was the man in charge of your family who came to my house to propose marriage. My father may not have agreed, but the man of your family is determined to marry this family! Why didn't you say that I was low?! Now you have to be picky, and ask Lu Chengyong to take the letter of resignation. Settle the account, I'm out of this portal, let's all go clean! ”

Xia Chunchao's cruel words were like a thunderbolt out of thin air, shaking everyone at a table like a chicken. Only the sister-in-law, Sister Lu Hong, drank and ate vegetables as usual, but when this matter had nothing to do with her, she was caught in it and said from time to time: "Mrs. is also confused, how can she help outsiders bully her sister-in-law?" It is impossible to see in the eye. ”

Liu's was anxious and angry, and what Xia Chunchao said was reasonable, and he exposed the shortcomings of this family, he was a shallow person, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he only raised his hand to hit Sister Lu Hong and said: "Your little hoof is also here to join in the fun, where is there a place for you to talk?!" Then Sister Lu Hong screamed strangely and shouted: "What's wrong with my mother today, after scolding her daughter-in-law and beating her daughter?" Isn't it only the mother's relatives who are relatives, and we have all become outsiders? ”

Lu Jiashi watched from the side for a long time, seeing that Xia Chunchao was already annoyed and anxious, and wanted to press again, but she was afraid that she would not recognize people. In the end, the old man is well-informed, so he didn't talk to Xia Chunchao first, and only said to Sister Lu Hong: "Your sister-in-law has eaten a few times the wine, and the desire for wine is coming up." Tell your sister-in-law to dissipate her anger, today is a good day for Brother Yong'er to return home, don't ruin his fun. On the other hand, he comforted Xia Chunchao with gentle words: "Good boy, don't be so angry. There was no such thing, whoever wanted to get someone in, my grandmother was the first to refuse. Presumably you heard it, if there is, it is also her own back, lard blinded. You are a good boy who is very wise and sensible, why bother with such ignorant fools? It's not worth losing your own dignity. And if you eat this wine in my hand, I will not make you any restitution. ”

It turned out that Lu Jia's knew that Xia Chunchao and Lu Chengyong had a good relationship with each other, and for Lu Chengyong's sake, she categorically refused to do it. first moved Lu Chengyong out, and then stepped on the Liu family a few times to vent his anger with Xia Chunchao, and then surrendered his identity to the dignity of his grandmother, and actually apologized to his granddaughter-in-law, intending to extinguish her anger.

Although Xia Chunchao was in a hurry and said a word of resignation, this resignation is an extremely shameful thing, who is willing to bear this notoriety for a good woman? Seeing that Aunt Liu's Tongzhang was silent, she hid aside and was cautious, and Lu Jia's fell up to make amends. Although she knew that she intended to calm things down, she refused to make a big deal out of it, so that there was no turning back, so she moved the boat to shore, took the wine glass in Lu Jia's hand, raised her neck and drank it all, her face couldn't help but flush, and she opened her mouth and said: "For the sake of the old lady today, this matter will not be investigated for the time being." In the future, if you want anyone to mention it again, then I will definitely not follow! ”

Lu Jiashi saw her spitting, and the chrysanthemums on her face stretched, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, there is a grandmother, and if there is that shameless thing to mention with a rotten mouth, I will definitely beat her board!" ”。
