Chapter 045: If He's There, She Won't Be Bullied (2)
Zhao Gan thanked him and said with a smile: "Zhao Gan is tired by nature and likes to be free, so he really can't be an official." β
Wang Qinian was unwilling, and wanted to continue to woo, but before the words were spoken, he heard a noise outside, and the two raised their eyes and couldn't help laughing, only to see Mr. Duan and Mr. Qin coming from outside, followed by Lin Qianyi and Lin Hanlin, and the two brothers showed a wry smile on their faces.
Wang Qinian hurriedly stood up, stepped forward, and brought the two respected old gentlemen into the front hall, personally moved the stool, and performed the student salute, before he sat down and said, "Why are the two old gentlemen arguing?" β
Mr. Duan was straightforward by nature and said: "Among the eight poems written by Mr. Lin during the Lantern Festival, this is the best, so we will come to the Lin family's courtyard to ask Mr. Lin which one is the best!" β
Old Mr. Qin snorted coldly and said to himself: "It's better, there is no doubt about it." β
This is the distress of literary creation, there is no first, there is no second, it is not like that at all, the former is much stronger than the latter, there is no need to argue. And each has its own merits, and it is difficult to determine the high and low.
Lin Wan'er and the three of them heard the noise in the front hall in the back room, and they also came out.
When Mr. Duan and Mr. Qin saw Lin Wan'er come out, they walked forward one after another, asking Lin Wan'er to evaluate the level, Lin Wan'er smiled, and said a few words in the ears of the two old gentlemen, and the two old gentlemen immediately smiled, looked at each other, and stopped arguing.
Lin Wan'er beckoned Lin Qianyi and Lin Hanlin to come over, took out a few taels of trivial silver from her sleeve, and instructed the two of them to go and set up a banquet, and then beckoned everyone to sit down, saying that they would have a light meal in the Lin family's courtyard before leaving.
Everyone did not shirk and took their seats one after another.
At this time, the three of Dabao also came back from playing outside, their faces and hands were covered with mud, and they were stunned for a moment when they saw that the small courtyard was full of people. Lin Wan'er confessed to a crime and led the three of Dabao to wash, the three of Dabao lined up, washing their hands one by one, Lin Wan'er poured some hot water, and then put the towel into the hot water, twisted it vigorously, and washed everyone's face very carefully.
Ning Shi looked up and saw this scene, his heart was sour, he felt that this family was really bitter, and then looked at his son Wang Dingyuan, and his eyes were a little ruddy. Wang Qinian and Jian everyone comforted them a few words before they stopped their tears.
Packed up, the banquet was placed, everyone didn't care about etiquette, they moved chopsticks one after another, during which Wang Qinian, Zhao Qian and the two old gentlemen also drank a pot of sake, the entrance was soft and not strong, but the wine was full of flavor. Zhao Qian picked up a chopstick, dipped some wine in the wine glass, and put it in Dabao's mouth, Dabao stretched out his tongue and licked it, and his eyes were squinted spicy, which made everyone laugh.
Wang Qinian put down his chopsticks and said: "Today, my wife and I came to the Lin family, mainly because my wife admired Miss Wan'er and was impressed by Miss Wan'er, so I came cheekily and hoped that Miss Wan'er would forgive me." In addition, at the Lantern Festival Poetry Meeting, Miss Wan'er won the first place, and I sent the thirty taels of silver to Miss Wan'er. Although it was at the dinner table, everyone knew each other well, and I was not afraid of the old saying that 'red and white things do not go to the dinner table', so I gave the silver. After speaking, he took out a line of silver tickets from his sleeve and handed it to Lin Wan'er, but his eyes always paid attention to Lin Wan'er's actions, for fear that the other party would say about the two hundred and forty taels of silver.
Fortunately, Lin Wan'er understood the general situation, took the silver, thanked him, and stuffed it into his sleeve.
But Zhao Gan didn't know the general situation, and said: "Lord Zhizhou, the first name is thirty taels, and my family Wan'er has made eight songs, should it be two hundred and forty taels?" β
Everyone was shocked, Zhao Gan didn't know the rules and occasions, and in this case, he actually asked such an inappropriate question, but everyone was also curious, thinking how this Lord Zhizhou should answer. Lord Zhizhou raised his wine glass, pretended not to hear Zhao Gan's question, and said to Mr. Duan and Mr. Qin: "Elder Duan, Elder Qin, I would like to give you a glass in the evening." After speaking, he raised his head and drank, then stroked his brow with his hand, and then said: "Not strong enough to drink, not strong enough to drink, a little drunk." "Lord Zhizhou's meaning is obvious, don't get entangled in thirty taels and two hundred and forty taels anymore.
Zhao Qian and Lin Wan'er shook their heads at the same time, it seemed that they were only thirty taels, and they were a little disappointed.
After being full of wine and food, Lin Wan'er cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks. In the past, in order to save money, the Lin family did not light kerosene lamps for dinner, but Lin Wan'er subconsciously blew out the kerosene lamps, and the front hall suddenly fell into darkness. Lin Wan'er was embarrassed, lit a kerosene lamp, and explained. Ning couldn't help but sigh again.
Tea was poured and everyone sat around.
Mr. Duan and Mr. Qin were on the bar at this time, and said together: "Mr. Lin, I just said that the one that was better when I ate, and now that I am full of wine and food, I will sue us two old men!" β
Lin Wan'er had a headache, looked at Zhao Gan, the two glanced at each other, nodded at the same time, and then there was silence for a while, there seemed to be a tacit understanding between the two, and suddenly they laughed together again, Lin Wan'er's smile was a little helpless and bitter, and Zhao Gan's smile was a little embarrassed and emotional, and the two were silent for a while. Everyone looked at each other, as if the two of them thought of something at the same time, and their thinking was the same, and everyone and the two of them were a little different.
Mr. Duan and Mr. Qin did not give up, and continued to ask, "Mr. Lin, you can comment on the two poems!" β
Lin Wan'er came back to her senses at this time, and said with a smile: "Don't embarrass Wan'er with the two old gentlemen, if this is still the case, I can only beat the two old gentlemen out." The use of "beating" instead of "please" here is very unreasonable, but it is also in line with Lin Wan'er's name as a wicked girl.
In other words, Mr. Qin threw up his sleeves and left, and Mr. Duan had already taken off his shoes to beat the unknown speaker, but it was Lin Wan'er who spoke, and the two old gentlemen could only sit there and drink alcohol.
But the two old gentlemen did not give up, but turned the conversation to Wang Qinian, Lord Zhizhou, and Mr. Duan spoke first and said, "Lord Zhizhou, which of these two poems is better?" If it is so, the old man is willing to be a sword and pen official in the governor's mansion. β
Old Mr. Qin interjected: "If Lord Zhizhou says. β
In order to earn a high price, the two old gentlemen did everything they could, and they really had no grace.
But this can be embarrassing for our Lord Zhizhou, hehe, he smiled, took a sip of tea, didn't think about how to say it, smiled again, and drank tea again, still didn't think about how to say it, and then smiled.
The two old gentlemen were angry for a while, and opened their mouths to say: "Lord Zhizhou is so unhappy!" β
Lord Zhizhou couldn't, so he could only escape by drinking. After getting into the carriage, Wang Qinian sighed and told the groom to leave this place of right and wrong quickly, in the past, Lord Zhizhou was arrogant in front of others, but today in the Lin family's courtyard, there are a group of people who can't be suppressed, and they should really run away.
Ning sat in the carriage and said sympathetically: "Wan'er is really a poor child, she is so talented, and she has to suffer so many crimes. He wiped his tears again.
Wang Qinian hurriedly held his wife's hands and comforted: "Mrs. Bodhisattva is heartfelt, and she is not used to seeing others suffer, but you see that this Lin Wan'er is as happy as a child. And that Zhao Gongzi is not a mortal, he will not be bullied by anyone if he is in Lin Wan'er. β
Ning nodded and said three times in a row, "That's good."
At this time, Mr. Duan and Mr. Qin were still arguing in the Lin family's courtyard, but seeing that it was not early, it was inconvenient to disturb them anymore, so the two quarreled and walked out of the Lin family's courtyard.
Jane and everyone also said goodbye to Lin Wan'er and left the Lin family's courtyard.
Lin Qianyi and Lin Hanlin said goodnight to the eldest sister, the former went to study, and the latter went back to sleep.
After everyone left, Lin Wan'er packed up the three of Dabao, put them to sleep, came to the front hall, saw only Zhao Gan, sat down, and said, "Thank you!" The tone was extremely reluctant, and the sound of the word Ah was very long, as if the thank you in front was just an embellishment.
Zhao Qian asked, "Thank you for what?!" β
Lin Wan'er said: "I just asked about the two hundred and forty taels. β
Zhao Qian saw that Lin Wan'er wanted to ask but was embarrassed to ask at the dinner table, so he didn't care whether the scene was appropriate or not, and opened his mouth to ask.
Zhao Qian smiled and said, "It's a matter of effort, and I didn't ask why." β
The two were silent for a moment.
Zhao Qian spoke first: "Lin Wan'er, you tell the truth, do you think I'm handsome or not?" β
Lin Wan'er couldn't stand Zhao Gan's self-feeling feeling like the most, and said: "Handsome, handsome is almost not handsome." β
Zhao Qian also couldn't stand Lin Wan'er's way of talking with a gun and a stick, and said: "I'll ask you strictly, can you also be strict." β
Lin Wan'er rolled her eyes and said, "I'm also very strict." β
Zhao Gan whispered back a sentence of "Yan sΓΉ head", Lin Wan'er's ears were very sharp, and when she heard this, she was furious for a while, stood up, slapped the table, and shouted: "Zhao Qian, do you want to fight?" β
Not to be outdone, Zhao Qian also slapped the table and said, "Yes." Lin Wan'er, I tell you and me that Zhao Qian is not scared, since the wind comes and goes in the rain, he dares to punch the tiger when he goes up the mountain, and he dares to slay the dragon alone when he goes down to the sea. β
Hearing this, Lin Wan'er was stunned, and Zhao Qian was also stunned, and then the two began to laugh heartlessly.
After laughing enough, Lin Wan'er waved her hand and said, "I'm tired, go back to the house and sleep, see you tomorrow morning!" After saying that, he turned around and left.
Zhao Qian regretted it a little in his heart, he should have rushed up to hold Lin Wan'er in his arms and kissed him just now, even if he was killed, it was worth it.
(I've been out of state since I finished writing, I can't write it, buffer two chapters of my favorite tune, the short bickering in the parents, the next chapter is on the right track, Lin Wan'er is going to make a fortune!) Why do I like Zhizhou-sama so much?! Why, why? )
