Chapter Forty-Seven: Drinking and Mishapting
Yue Xi's words made Ying Su's slightly chaotic mood immediately calm down.
Yes, since it was inevitable to meet, just see you.
The lady's head is not inferior to that of any man, and with herself by her side to protect her, what can she do even if the queen mother is scheming?
Could it be that the two of them are really afraid of anyone?
Thinking of this, Ying Su couldn't help but shake his head and smile: I, a big man, can't think as clearly as my lady...... Is......
After thinking about it, the sleepiness came, and when I wanted to turn over and lie down, I felt that there was a slender thigh on my crotch......
Ying Su raised her head slightly and looked at the woman who was lying on a pillow with her, she was sleeping with a peaceful expression.
"That is, you ......" kissed Yue Xi's lips, Ying Su kept her original position and lay down again and reached out to tuck the quilt behind her: "Just sleep like this." ”
……
Two days later, it was the day when Chu Yingzhi and Yang Jingshu got married.
Every year on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, Emperor Xià wants to seal the pen and seal, so that the civil and military officials under him can also breathe a sigh of relief for the time being, and start the holiday with him.
Chu Yingzhi discussed with Gonggong Gao for a long time, and decided to set the day of marriage on the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, so that everyone could have a few days to spare to prepare for the New Year after the excitement.
The business of the Taiping Bureau sat on the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, and Yuexi also gave the men and women who had been busy for a long time a holiday.
On the evening of the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, the people, chariots and horses on the side of the shop in Cixian County also gathered together in Xixiang Village.
At the same time, there was also Ye Zhixian in civilian clothes.
"The two of us have been alone in the yamen for a few years, and every year we eat, fire, and sleep with the master......" Ye Miancheng was very happy when he saw Yue Xi, and his mouth immediately disappeared, and with one mouth, he let Ye Qiu, who entered the house behind him, give a slap: "What are you talking about!" ”
"Slip of the tongue!"
Ye Miancheng shrank his neck by Ye Qiu, twisted his face, and then said to Yue Xi with a hippie smile: "Gongzi Yue, you said that I am not familiar with the surname Chu, he is married, and I, a seven-rank adult, came to his wedding banquet to support him, and six hundred yuan is enough to fight for righteousness, right?" ”
"If I were you, I wouldn't pay a penny!" Yue Xi stretched out her hand to help Ye Qiu, who was about to salute her, and motioned for them to sit on the chairs, she personally lifted the teapot and poured a cup of hot tea for the two people who had just entered the door: "Just carry a head on one shoulder, sit down at the banquet and eat, and leave when you are full and raise your legs, Chu Yingzhi can still chase you for food money?" ”
"I'm embarrassed to go over and eat and drink for nothing." Ye Miancheng took the teacup handed over by Yue Xi with both hands, drank it with a tilt of his neck, reached out and took the teapot and poured another cup.
Yue Xi tilted his face sideways to Ye Zhixian's side, approached him and said, "Then you are embarrassed to give people 600 yuan, and then you drag your family to eat?" ”
"I'm not going! I'm not going out with him to be embarrassed! Ye Qiu glared at Master Ye, who was showing favor to him with a cheap smile on his face, and pulled a chair to sit on the other side of Yue Xi: "I'm angry when I see him now, in charge, if you let me look at him a few more times, I can be angry to death!" ”
"What are you doing with no brains? Look at the one who my bookkeeper! Yue Xi looked at Ye Miancheng with a smile, while Lord Ye got up and yelled at Ye Qiu: "Autumn, autumn...... Please...... Save me some face......"
"Flutter!" As soon as he opened his mouth, Yue Xi lowered his head and smiled: "Whatever you say, you are not afraid to ask for a tongue." ”
"Master, let me tell you, don't look at him talking so quietly in front of you now, he can't be powerful at home! He also said......"
Ye Qiu was angry, seeing Yue Xi was like seeing his mother's family, and the bad words in his stomach also opened the floodgates, but he quickly shut up as he spoke, because what the surnamed Ye said was really impossible to say to outsiders!
"What did I say? You should talk to Gongzi Yue......" Ye Miancheng wanted to save face, and he knew that since he went to the palace and begged Yue Xi to return the master to him, he would never have face to talk about in front of Yue Xi!
"You ......" The master was so angry that his face turned red, and after glancing at him, he twisted his body and scolded: "You are a cheeky one!" I'm not as thick-skinned as you, and what you say is not human, I can't learn from the master! ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Ye Miancheng hurriedly dragged the chair forward again, and whispered: "If you can't say it, don't say it, that's the words of the two of us, and it's not convenient for Gongzi Yue to listen." ”
Yue Xi raised his head and stared at the roof expressionlessly, still wondering in his heart that Master Ye probably had done something that lacked heart and eyes.
Sure enough, when she thought of this, Ye Qiu, who was sitting next to her, had already said angrily again: "Master, do you know what he has done again?" ”
Yue Xi raised his eyebrows and made an unguessable expression.
"On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the yamen is on holiday, he went to Linxian for a banquet, and the father of the magistrate of Linxian County celebrates his birthday, and it is not good to ...... if he doesn't go" Ye Qiu was annoyed, facing Yue Xi and deliberately not looking at Ye Miancheng, who had been smiling at him.
"Well, it's also the right thing to do with colleagues." Yue Xi echoed casually.
"But what a friendship he had with that colleague, the gift money I prepared for him before going out was packed in an envelope, but after he drank a few glasses of wine, he was confused and gave the other envelope as a gift money!"
"That's the money and food stamps he received! Five stones of good rice, and a silver ticket of thirty yuan are given! ”
"Say, what will he eat next year!"
The official of Dazhao is a young man, and when he thinks about it, Ye Miancheng has no private money under his hands, according to Ye Qiu, he will indeed not even have money for food next year.
"Isn't there still you......" Lord Ye's voice was much quieter.
He didn't want Ye Qiu to talk about money in front of outsiders, even if that person was Yue Xi, he felt that he couldn't raise his head.
Ye Miancheng would rather go home and eat bran vegetables,
Cheng would rather go home and eat chaff vegetables, in front of outsiders, he still wants the face of the county magistrate.
"He has no money, so you don't care about him?" Yue Xi took a sip of tea and asked with a smile.
"Not really. If I have a bite to eat, he will naturally have a bite. Ye Qiu lowered his head and whispered: "I'm just angry that he drank and made a mistake, and when he went out, he told him not to be greedy, but he didn't listen...... After a year of hard work, the silver is cheaper than outsiders......"
"In charge, there is a customer outside who wants to hire us a car to send my wife back to the door on the second day of the Lunar New Year, can we pick it up?"
Outside the door, the young man's shrill voice came in.
"If you have business, of course you will take it." Yue Xi glanced at Ye Qiu: "Lao Chu is busy with getting married, it is estimated that no one is staring outside, you go and take a look." ”
"Whoa." Ye Qiu hurriedly got up and walked out of the house.
"Alas...... My master is really ......" Ye Miancheng sighed, and stopped talking.
"Master is for your good, don't be ignorant!" Yue Xi put the cup in his hand on the table, patted the table and said, "You two live your life, unless you adopt a child, or you don't even have someone to serve when you are old!" Can Ye Qiu not be in a hurry? He just thinks long-term, if he doesn't save money, what will you eat if you can't do it in the future? ”
"Hmm." Ye Miancheng rubbed the cup on the table with both hands and nodded: "I know." So he's been nagging me for two days, didn't I say nothing? ”
"That's right!" Yue Xi said and pushed the things under his hand in front of Ye Miancheng: "When it comes to drinking, you must do what you can, otherwise you will really make a mistake!" ”
"What is this?" Ye Miancheng approached the things on the table and looked at them, and immediately shook his head: "Silver ticket? I can't ask for this! How can I sprinkle the silver and let you fill the gap! ”
"That's it! Don't do so much, old men! Yue Xi got up and stuffed the silver ticket directly into his hand: "Take it, seal a red envelope from the new one to Lao Chu, Lord Ye really doesn't look good with six hundred Wen......"
Ye Miancheng looked down at the silver ticket in his hand, first sighed and then nodded: "Then I'll take it!" ”
Yue Xi smiled and nodded: "The few dart masters you introduced to me are going to come to our shop, and they made everything clear to me that day." ”
"You promised?" Ye Miancheng put away the silver ticket and looked up and asked.
"Nope." Yue Xi sat back again before continuing: "I don't know the other party's roots, how can I respond lightly." ”
"One of my servants also begged me to send his son to the Taiping Bureau." Ye Miancheng said: "I don't know if there is a shortage of people in the shop, son-in-law, do you accept it?" That's a good kid! Most of the descendants of our Ci County know a few hands, which is not inferior to those half-hung dart masters! ”
"Those dart masters and chariots and horses were all recommended by Li Zhutou in the west of the city, just right, Ming'er saw him and I will inquire about you."
"Okay." Yue Xi raised his eyes and whispered at him: "I went out and walked a lot of places this time, and I just had an idea to discuss with a few of you, but ah, let's help Lao Chu get married first, and then talk about the shop after two days when everyone is gathered!" ”
"Done!" Hearing Yue Xi say that he had a new idea, Ye Miancheng's eyes lit up. He has absolute trust in Yue Xi's vision, and as long as she says it, he will support it unconditionally.
"Huh? Why haven't I seen the guy surnamed Zheng since I've been here for a long time? Ye Miancheng got up and walked to the door: "I haven't seen him in the old days, I really want to tease him a few words!" ”
"I asked Brother Zheng to help me find the new house." Yue Xi said softly: "Old Chu doesn't know where Ming'er will marry Jingjing!" ”
……
Chu Yingzhi is dying of sorrow!
Today is the big day for him and Yang Jingshu, seeing that the people in the shop are busy, and I also know that the head of the house specially took Ah Jing out to buy the wedding dress, but since it is a marriage, it has to be a cave room, right?
What about the room?
Until it was time to get married, he didn't know where to take Ah Jing at night......
asked Gao Gonggong about the marriage room several times, and the other party said that the free arrangement of the head of the house would make him wait to be the groom's official with peace of mind.
Chu Yingzhi ushered in the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month in such a nervous mood.
