Chapter 46: The Banquet (4)

Lu Chengyong helped Xia Chunchao back to the room, and Zhu'er greeted him, only to say that his grandmother was in an emergency, and asked again and again.

Xia Chunchao didn't have the strength to pay attention, Lu Chengyong and Zhu'er rubbed her to the bed first, and Lu Chengyong gave an order according to Xia Chunchao's words. Zhu'er was born as a girl in the room, and she was smart, so she understood everything a little bit, and glanced at Xia Chunchao with a smile, and nodded.

Lu Chengyong sat on the edge of the bed and smiled at Xia Chunchao: "You girl is clever, it's strange that you love her so much." Xia Chunchao said angrily: "If you like it, I will open her face tomorrow and have sex with you." lest my wife be angry all day long, and say that I am not virtuous. If you save me, I can't stand it. Lu Chengyong smiled with a cheeky face: "Lady's girl, how can I want it?" is that the lady is generous, and Zhu'er herself is afraid and does not follow. Xia Chunchao glanced at him and said, "What you said, it seems that I am a jealous person." Lu Chengyong was about to argue, but he heard Xia Chunchao say again: "Even if I am, you can't wait for nonsense." The sky is blue and white, and there are so many guests in front and back, and they spread it out for a while, and they don't eat people and laugh at them? ”

Lu Chengyong saw that she had confessed to her own home, and couldn't help laughing in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, he stretched his face, nodded and said: "What the lady taught is that the husband will do it again in the future, but it depends on the lady." He was about to say that he would never do it again, but the words slipped again. Xia Chunchao raised his hand and slapped him, and said angrily: "What about the future?" Do you want to do it again? I know I can't do anything to you, so I come to play this trick. ”

The husband and wife laughed for a while, Xia Chunchao remembered the previous incident, and asked: "You said that I sent someone to send a cup of tea to eat with you, who took it?" Lu Chengyong thought for a while and said, "It's Ding Xiaosan who listens to it in the backyard, saying that you asked him to take the sobering tea and eat it with me." As he spoke, he paused and said, "Now that I think about it, it's the trouble of that tea." ”

When Xia Chunchao heard this, he smiled lightly and asked, "Is there only that tea?" You didn't run into anyone again? Lu Chengyong saw that he couldn't hide it, so he had to tell everything about Fang Cai, and swore again: "The sky can prove that I have never been involved with her." If there is a fake, where will I touch her, where will there be sores and maggots! Xia Chunchao hurriedly covered his mouth and reprimanded in a low voice: "I believe in you, why bother to swear such a poisonous oath!" Without saying a word, he glanced at him again, and said with a smile: "You really eat people and worry about it, people even give up their reputations, don't you even look at it?" Anyway, the cousin of the Zhang family is also a beauty, can you really be Yanagi Hui? Looking at your fiery appearance, I can't believe it. As soon as he spoke, Lu Chengyong gritted his teeth and laughed, and said in a low voice: "At this time, you just have to talk about it, and at night, don't think I will spare you." ”

The husband and wife laughed and discussed a few more words. According to the Xia Chun Dynasty, the little guy was going to be brought for interrogation, and the confession was extracted, and as soon as the guests dispersed, they had to ask Aunt Liu and Aunt Zhang and others for their guilt. Lu Chengyong said: "There is no evidence for this matter, I have already drunk the tea, but what is in it, I can't check it now." Just based on the words of a small servant, I am afraid that I will not be able to believe it, and my aunt will definitely not admit it. Your wife won't let you search the houseβ€”even if you do, if you can find something, you won't be able to do it; If not, we will be charged with disobedience. What's more, I haven't had anything to do with Zhang Xueyan, but what should I say? If someone asks, since you tricked me into taking medicine, what is the matter? How do we answer? She is an unmarried girl, and her chastity can be known as soon as she is tested. Let's put on the charge of dishonoring people. If there is no evidence, it will eat people and bite back. ”

Xia Chunchao said: "Didn't you tell them to calculate in vain? Lu Chengyong groaned: "Hengzhu has never taken the Tao seriously, just guard against them in the future." Although Xia Chunchao was unwilling, he felt that his words of talent were also reasonable, so he had to give up for the time being.

The two said a few more words, and then sent someone to invite them, saying: "The guests in the front hall are waiting to hand over wine to the young master, and the master asks the young master to go quickly." ”

Lu Chengyong heard that it was not good to sit for a long time. Xia Chunchao also urged him: "Go quickly, don't let people say that you have just gained momentum, so you pick up the shelf." I lay down a little and went up to the table. Lu Chengyong nodded, got up and went with the man.

Xia Chunchao rested for a while, although he felt that his waist was still a little sore, but he thought that he could hold it up, so he got up and went to the ground, walked to the dressing table, opened the mirror and combed his hair.

Because Zhu'er Bao'er's two girls were both listening to errands outside, and there was no one to serve in the house, she took a comb and combed it at home.

At this moment, a man suddenly shouted at the door, "Ah, girl, why do you comb your own hair, why is Zhu'er Bao'er not in front of you?" Drop it, you're not used to doing it when you're at home. As soon as the words landed, I only heard the sound of my skirt dragging the floor, and saw Wang Di'er hurriedly walking into the room.

It turned out that Wang Di'er was worried about Xia Chunchao's earlier words, and she had something to ask her, and people were eating at the banquet, and a pair of eyes only followed Xia Chunchao, and when she saw her get off the table, she also found a reason to come out at random. Lu Jia's and Liu's relatives in the Xia Chun Dynasty have never been welcome, so no one pays attention to her.

This Wang Di'er went all the way to the back, but he lost Xia Chunchao. She didn't have much contact with the Lu family, so she didn't dare to walk around, so she waited outside the house in Xia Chunchao. After a while, I saw these two people go back to the room. Because Lu Chengyong was inside, she didn't dare to go in, so it was easy for Lu Chengyong to go, so she hurriedly entered the house.

This woman is the most powerful in life, and she likes to worship high and low, and asks this sister-in-law to come in and see her combing her own hair, and she makes a fuss in her mouth, and hurriedly steps forward, snatches the comb and goes over to comb it for her.

Xia Chunchao was familiar with this sister-in-law's temper, and he didn't want to upset her interest, so he laughed it off and let her comb it.

Wang Di'er carefully combed her hair in a bun and said with a flattering smile: "The girl looks in the mirror and sees, is it okay?" Xia Chunchao glanced in the mirror, and saw that the hair was combed in a smooth and neat bun, so he smiled at her words and said, "Sure enough, sister-in-law Xie will do it for you." Wang Di'er rubbed her hands and smiled: "Where is the girl, I know that the girl is used to being served, where did she do this!" ”

Xia Chunchao had been away from Xi for a long time, thinking about the situation in the backyard, and he had no patience to gossip with her, so he said: "Sister-in-law is coming over now, do you have something to say?" Wang Di'er was stunned for a while, and pouted a few words of courteous nonsense. Xia Chunchao said: "If my sister-in-law has nothing important, I will go to the banquet." After coming out for a long time, I am afraid that they will remember it. Wang Di'er said in a low voice: "I have something to ask the girl, I don't know if the girl is willing?" At that moment, he told him what had happened.

There is a sister in Wang Di'er's mother's family, who married a landlord's son at the age of fifteen, because of some unclean hands and feet, he stole property from his mother's family, and was taken by his mother-in-law's family. The shopkeeper Wang was worried that his daughter would have no one to rely on in the future, so he went around to talk about her family again. But because her reputation spread, no one was willing to marry, and she is still living in her mother's house.

The Xia family and the Shen family live next to each other, and even if the Xia Chun Dynasty is out of the cabinet, the two families still move back and forth from time to time. Wang Di'er saw that Shen Changyu had not continued the broken string, and took a fancy to his rich family wealth and dignified appearance, so he deliberately told his sister to continue the string for him. Considering that she was low-level, did not speak loudly, and had a very shallow relationship with the Shen family, he intended to find a reliable person to make peace. At this moment, she suddenly heard that the sister-in-law who married into the Lu family was the wife of the third grade, so she came to beg.

This Wang Di'er is quite clever, and deliberately said that the matter was not clear, and only said that he begged Xia Chunchao to be a matchmaker.

Xia Chunchao listened to it, and she already understood in her heart that she had heard about the character of the daughter of the Wang family, and she refused to do this immoral thing, so she changed her mind and immediately smiled: "It is said that this is my sister-in-law's business, and I should not refuse." It's just that my sister-in-law has found the wrong person, I am now the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, and I have no contact with the Shen family for a long time, how can I make this raft? What's more, my sister-in-law's sister has her own sister-in-law's parental proposition, how can it be my turn to come forward? If I stand out, I will inevitably make people laugh at me and not understand etiquette, and my sister-in-law is afraid that her face will be dull. Since my sister-in-law has this intention, it is better to go back to her parents' house to discuss with her father and mother at home, and find a serious matchmaker to go to the Shen family to propose marriage, which is right. ”

Wang Di'er listened to her politeness at first, but when she answered, she was about to laugh and thank her, when she suddenly heard her say something prevaricating, and she was annoyed. Before I could say more, Xia Chunchao had already gotten up and said, "I've been out for a long time, I'm afraid I'm going to look outside, let's go." As he spoke, he didn't wait for Wang Di'er, and went out.

Although the king was full of displeasure, he did not dare to offend her, so he had to go with her.

But he said that when Yingxia saw that the matter was revealed, the young master lost his temper, worried and burned, and rushed Lu Chengyong to not come out, and ran away. Walked to a crowded place and hid for a while, before walking back to the seat.

Liu was planning his son, and his heart was up and down, and he was irritable, just waiting for the summer news. When he saw Yingxia come back, he was busy and asked in a low voice, "How is it, can it be done?" Why didn't you call someone? Yingxia climbed up with all her heart, lest her wife would smash her out of her for not doing her well, so Zhiwu said: "I saw the young master go in, and I was going to wait outside the door." It's just that I suddenly had a stomachache, and I couldn't help it, so I went to the thatched house, and when I came back, I saw that the young master and the young lady had gone. Liu scolded a few useless words, because he was sitting on the table, he didn't dare to attack, so he had to be patient and not mention it.

After a while, Zhang Xueyan came back from behind and sat shallow next to Aunt Zhang. Aunt Zhang didn't ask her, she looked at her carefully, and saw that her daughter's face was full of spring, her forehead was wet with sweat, and her body trembled slightly, so she said that this matter was done. waited for joy, and then thought about it: The two of us discussed in advance, we want to welcome the summer girl to report the news, and we will arrest it on the spot, so that Brother Yong has nothing to shirk. Why don't you see the summer coming? Thinking of this, she was afraid that things would change, so she stepped on her daughter in private.

Zhang Xueyan knew in her heart, how could she tell her mother that the main son couldn't hold it, but asked his cousin to take advantage, so she said in a low voice according to what Lu Yanwen had taught before: "Mother is patient, my cousin has just become an official, so he caused such a thing, which will damage his reputation." He is going to go out on business at the end of the month, so it is better to let my aunt lead me in at that time and ask Yingxia to be a witness, but the Xia family has nothing to say. Even when his cousin came back, the raw rice had become cooked rice, and he couldn't do anything. Aunt Zhang snorted lightly and said, "I don't believe it, it's like this, can he still deny it?!" The innocent body of the good daughter's family is so that he can't be defiled in vain! Her voice was slightly high, which startled Zhang Xueyan. Zhang Xueyan was afraid that her mother would have a seizure in court, so she didn't do anything, tore her face and confronted Lu Chengyong, but she broke through the matter. At the moment, I had to be patient and speak well to appease Aunt Zhang.

Although Aunt Zhang's mouth is hard, she is also worried in her heart, although these two people have an adulterous relationship, it is not a glorious thing in the end, if Lu Chengyong really ignores his relatives and turns his face and denies it, they have to be unlucky. After listening to a few soft words from her daughter, she got off the donkey and stopped talking.

After another pause, Xia Chunchao returned to the table.

When Lu Jiashi saw her come back, he asked, "What have you been doing for a long time?" So many wives are waiting to hand you wine, and you're running away! Xia Chunchao smiled and said, "Seeing that everyone has enough wine, go to the kitchen and order the snacks to be delivered." And they all paid no more attention to it, and ate and drank each of them.

Xia Chunchao sat down, looked at Zhang Xueyan twice, and suddenly remembered an incident, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, called Zhu'er to him, and commanded a few words in a low voice. Hearing this, Zhu'er nodded with a smile and turned away. That Zhang Xueyan had a ghost in her heart, and she didn't dare to look this way, so she never saw it.

At one time, many women toasted and flattered Xia Chunchao, and Xia Chunchao got up to socialize, as if nothing happened.
