Chapter 361: The consequences are severe
Mrs. Kong looked at this pretentious man with amusement, and she was angry with herself for the marriage of her youngest daughter. blamed himself for messing around with the child, and found a martial artist not to mention, he turned out to be a countryman with no foundation, and she was the one who suffered this daughter in the future. What kind of people are laughed at, and I can't even find a decent son-in-law! Every day when I find an opportunity, I have to complain, but now I want to enjoy what people have sent!
As long as Mrs. Kong can really accept the family business that her daughter wants, she didn't make fun of the man, lest he be annoyed and angry. Then he said according to the man's meaning: "What you said is not difficult, what I am afraid is that they will not be able to learn at home for a while, and they will not be able to make today's taste when the time comes!" ”
Of course Master Kong knew, but he couldn't help thinking in his heart! It's a pity that his plan still fell through, and as soon as he arrived at the official office the next day, he saw that there were several posts on his case that he was going to visit his house today. This question is a bit big, because the owners of these posts are his superiors, and he doesn't know why, but he can't excuse himself. The colleague next to him not only did not feel jealous, but approached him: "Master Kong! Your daughter got married yesterday, why didn't she tell us, we should also come to congratulate us! Do you think it's appropriate for us to have a wedding drink today? ”
"Huh?" Master Kong was even more dizzy, "Are you going to my house to drink wedding wine today?" ”
The other party nodded, "Yes!" Master Kong, you don't need to prepare any special food and drinks, just follow yesterday's order! We don't pay attention to it! ”
"Oh," Master Kong said in a long voice, and he finally understood. It turned out that this was a dish from the south that I was worried about yesterday's table. It's no wonder that I don't usually have a good popularity, but today I suddenly received so many posts at once!
Understand that these people are there to eat, and that's okay. Some people are close to themselves, but they don't have bad intentions to harm themselves. Just for a bite to eat, then I can't be hypocritical, and I really don't rely on anyone.
Master Kong immediately sent his entourage home and told his wife to prepare for a banquet in the evening. What Master Kong didn't expect was that the guests who thought that one or two tables would be enough to solve the problem had already risen to more than ten tables by the time it was time to go down in the afternoon. By the time I sat down at the table in the evening. It was already a full sixteen tables. Mrs. Kong was so anxious that she was sweating, not anything else, the key was that the ingredients were not enough! And these are things that can't be bought in the capital! But. As soon as it came to the chef, it was easy to solve - all the dishes were replaced with small plates, and everyone ate fresh!
Today's guests have gone up several steps from yesterday's. They picked up their teacups and opened the lids. Immediately smell the origin of this tea. "Master Kong. Isn't this tribute tea?! When did your family get so much tribute tea? ”
Master Kong was frightened into a cold sweat, and hurriedly bowed his waist and replied: "Lord Zheng, this is not tribute tea!" Yes, it's a dowry gift from the little girl's family, you see that there is a big tea stalk in this tea! ”
A person next to him also said: "This is indeed not tribute tea, there are fragments of old tea leaves in it, and this is not allowed in tribute tea!" ”
Master Kong hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes! Lord Zhao looked really carefully! ”
At another table, a guest stood up and walked over to Master Kong. Patting him on the back, he asked, "Master Kong." Is there a lot of this tea? Send this official a little back to try it! ”
"Oops! Master Kong, you can't favor one over the other! Although we didn't ask for it, you have to give it the same! ”
"Haha! Master Kong and the old man, don't have too many old men, just give one jar! ”
The endless voices from far and near, have already made Master Kong's eyes roll and want to faint. There are only fifty cans in total, and how many cans are used to entertain guests, where can so many people be given? This, this, how is this good? Although there are many people who have never seen it himself, he also understands that no one can offend these people!
After this dinner party was eaten in a panic and anxiety, the next day in the capital, it was rumored in the officialdom that Master Kong's in-laws had sent some kind of delicacies to thank him for raising his daughter. The more it was rumored that the banquet became more and more lofty, and the most outrageous thing was that the common people who did not know the truth actually said that the emperor also went to eat that banquet. This mutated marriage banquet that has been passed around has made Mrs. Qin San, who already regretted it, even more remorseful and resentful, and secretly gritted her teeth. But she didn't want to admit that she was wrong, so she vented her anger on Dahong's daughter-in-law and her daughter-in-law who were bullied by her at the beginning.
In her logical thoughts, she felt that these two people should swallow their anger at the criticism of the female family, and they should also think of ways to complete their own family affairs, and they should not be unable to stand this family because she said a few unpleasant words. Therefore, she treated the Wang family concubines like that day, and she really vented her anger. As for her daughter's relatives, if she learned about the situation of the Wang family later, she is indeed inferior to the Wang family economically. However, the social status of the people is much higher than that of the Wang family, and it is not only the Wang family that has an Anzi who is a jinshi can be compared. This point is a contradiction!
However, to this day, Mrs. Qin San still has to regret it, because she has been promoted to deputy general because she looks down on her. is a hundred times stronger than the eldest grandson of the Qin family, and a hundred times stronger than her son-in-law, who is not even a showman, who has no position to be worshipped, and who only lives by his father.
Although Dahong's daughter-in-law's voice was not loud, the few men sitting in the living room still heard what the women in the back room said, and Xiangzi raised his voice in the living room: "Third sister-in-law! If the Third Lady of Qin uses this to ridicule you, but you take it seriously, then you are really wrong! ”
"How?" The eldest uncle and the second uncle asked, and the eldest aunt, the second aunt, and the third concubine of the junior also followed to the living room and sat down on the sofa, wanting to hear what Xiangzi had to say.
Xiangzi said with a smile: "Actually, the method that the second sister-in-law thought of at the beginning was very successful, and it earned enough face for the father-in-law's family." Until now, when we sometimes go to our in-laws' house to walk, Master Kong will still talk about the two banquets with relish. It was said that only our family could hold this feast, and many people followed suit. But it didn't have that effect. Anyway, with the smugness he said, there is no way that no one will laugh at our family because of that. Still, I've heard gossip that our family has gone too far. Some of them are cheap! ”
Hearing this word, Erya immediately exploded, looked around at the others, and asked, "Then what do you think?" ”
Uncle shook his head with a smile: "What is there to be a cheapness and not a cheapness!" People are officials who are willing to marry one of us civilians, and they are scolded so much that they are afraid that they are much more than us, didn't they marry their daughters to our family in the same way, and we did this to call it cheap? If you want me to say this, they are jealous! ”
The second aunt also said: "Don't think about your niece and daughter-in-law. I felt that the person who said this was uneasy and kind. The matter of marrying a family was originally for the male family to be attentive to the female family, isn't this how we come over in that small place! ”
Xiangzi saw his daughter-in-law glaring at him viciously. immediately raised his hand to surrender, but said to Erya with a wicked smile on his face: "Second sister-in-law, do you also have times when you can't hold your breath?" Don't worry! I haven't talked about the rest yet! Now there are some big families in the capital who get married, in order to express their sincerity. will also use the venue of the woman's house to entertain the woman's family on the day of the marriage. It's the same as our family. Thanks to the woman's parents for nurturing his daughter. The girls who were able to get this feast were much higher than their peers. Now many girls are married, the dowry is not important, the important thing is the "thanksgiving banquet". Now you know how much trouble you have caused in the capital, right? Xiangzi said with a gloating smile.
If that's the case, it's really overplaying. This time, Er Ya couldn't even speak, just stupidly looked at this and that. Dahong's daughter-in-law and Xiangzi's daughter-in-law were really shocked when they saw the second sister-in-law, and they couldn't help but laugh secretly.
These two concubines are afraid and love this second sister-in-law. I'm afraid of her because she never favoritism just because they are her own family. She loves her because she thinks about their interests at home. Just like Dahong and Xiangzi want to come to the capital to build a building, if it is according to the ideas of the master in the family. They had to stay at home to take care of the elderly and children, even their mother's family said so, but the second sister-in-law decided to let them accompany the man into the capital. There is only one reason for her, the husband and wife cannot be separated for a long time, otherwise the family will be separated. They didn't think much about it at first, and it was only when they came here that they realized how much temptation there was for men outside. If it weren't for the fact that Xiaohu suffered such a big loss in Qinhualou before, and everyone in the family had learned a lesson, they didn't dare to imagine whether Dahong and Xiangzi would be able to keep it.
The uncle, uncle, and aunt over there also laughed with the two concubines, Xiaohu gently pulled the sleeve of his daughter-in-law and asked her to sit beside him, and then comforted her: "Don't listen to what you want to say, that's the idea of other people's daughters, what does it have to do with you?" ”
"Sister-in-law! Why can't you stand the explosion now? Even if this capital is because of you, what's the big deal if everyone wants that thanksgiving banquet?! We are doing good things, not evil things! ”
Dahong hurriedly laughed and said, "That's right! Xiaolong was right, I heard Master Kong say that even the old prime minister went to his house before the banquet that day, and they didn't do it for a bite to eat, but just made a special trip to see what the lively banquet the women said was like. He also praised our Wang family for having ideas and doing a good job, saying that they would advocate it. ”
Erya wasn't really scared, but she was a little surprised and didn't come back to her senses. In just such a short period of time, she was speechless.
She didn't want to keep talking about this topic, so she interrupted them and asked the uncle: "Uncle! Are you going to visit General Qin's house or Master Kong's house first tomorrow? ”
Dahong asked Erya puzzled: "Second sister-in-law!" My father and mother went to General Qin's house. Isn't it just right for the second uncle and aunt to go to Master Kong's house? ”
Er Ya shook her head: "I'd rather we go to visit one after the other, rather than go separately, and it's not to eat and drink to catch the field, so why are you in a hurry?!" So perfunctory to visit people, you will be very annoyed when you encounter a picky one. ”
The uncle nodded next to him and responded: "Xiaohu's daughter-in-law is right!" There is an old lady in General Qin's house, let's go to General Qin's house first! The day after tomorrow, I will go to Master Kong's house! After speaking, he looked at the second brother and the second brother-in-law, and the latter nodded. (To be continued......)
