Chapter 122: Guests and Hosts Rejoice
Mr. Yang coughed dryly twice and said lightly, "That's it, it was so fierce at the beginning, and it is understandable that you did not tell the truth." In the future, if there is anything that cannot be said explicitly, even if it is told in private, you must not hide it like this. ”
Dong Rong seemed to be stunned for a moment, and finally replied with annoyance, "Oh, I'm only worried that my younger brother is in love with vanity, and he only wants to hide it in a hurry, but he forgot that he can tell Mr. in private." I hope that the gentlemen will forgive the sins, and the little girl will not be so stupid next time. ”
Her reckless appearance pleased several old gentlemen again, and they all stroked their beards and laughed.
Mr. Sun has the most easy-going temperament, and he first picked up the apple with the word "Xi" at the top of the fruit bowl and said with a smile, "I regret that I didn't have the opportunity to see what the auspicious fruit looks like, and I don't want to not only see it today, but also taste it." Is this trip to cherry blossoms really a loss? ”
As he spoke, he was about to take the apple to him, but Mr. Yang snatched it up, glared and said, "It's just such an auspicious fruit, how can you swallow it alone?" It's better to let the Dong family girl cut a qiē and share it with everyone. ”
Mr. Sun argued, "I'm just curious about the strength of the font and want to take a closer look..."
It's a pity that everyone didn't believe it, and they all opened their mouths to urge Dong Rong to cut the fruit. Dong Rong heard several gentlemen laughing, but she liked their easy-going and unclear temper, and smiled and divided the fruit.
An apple is divided into six parts, and each person is only two or three mouthfuls, Mr. Sun ate his share in three or two bites, and sighed, "This fruit is too small, Dong girl, do you still have stock at home?" ”
Another gentleman scolded with a smile, "You should be Xiangrui fruit is a basket of everything in the fruit industry for one or two pieces of silver, and it is already a blessing for three lives to be able to eat a few bites, don't be greedy." ”
When Mr. Yang heard this, he remembered something else, so he asked, "At the beginning of last winter, there was news that hundreds of homeless people outside the city were hired to do odd jobs in an orchard. ”
Dong Rong nodded, smiled and said lightly, "Exactly, because the family has Xiangrui fruit, there is no need to worry about Brother Ping'er's restraint in the future." But my brother and son are all ordinary peasant children, and they often feel terrified of God's favor when they ask themselves that they have no talent and no virtue. It happened that the displaced people outside the city had no food and clothing, and they were very miserable, so they recruited all the displaced people in the name of hiring people. Fortunately, the villagers in the village are kind-hearted, the orchard provides three meals a day, and the families in the village give up a few houses, and with the concerted efforts, they finally survived this cold winter. ”
After that, she pointed to the straw fruit plates and straw tea coasters beside the gentlemen, as well as the straw sleeves on the tables and chairs, and said with a smile, "These small objects are made by the homeless people, and I take them back from them and slowly sell them in the orchard to my favorite guests, and the homeless people also earn enough copper coins to live for several months." The housekeeper of my family contacted the caravan heading south early, and the homeless people have all returned to their hometowns with their children, and now I am afraid that spring ploughing has begun. ”
The more the gentlemen listened, the more strange their faces became, and finally they even sighed in unison. Dong Rong was worried, she didn't know what she didn't say, but she didn't want to ask too much, so she lowered her head and pretended not to see it.
Fortunately, several gentlemen did not stay silent for long to solve her doubts, and Mr. Sun was the first to be annoyed, "Occasionally quarrel with others, and I heard people scold us for being stupid in reading, and I was not convinced at that time." Now I know that this statement has saved us face, and our heads are simply rotten wood. ”
The other gentleman also sighed and responded, "What Brother Sun said is yes, I knew that it would be so easy to solve, why did we quarrel with the fat moths of the government and the roof of the house." ”
Mr. Yang slapped the table and said angrily, "Such waste materials have long been blackened by the smell of copper, one day I will let them go home and farm!" ”
Dong Rong and her younger brother glanced at each other, and they all vaguely guessed a few points. Xu was the first few gentlemen to go to the government to fight for the rescue of the homeless, but needless to say, those officials who only know about corruption and pleasure must have resorted to Taiji, pushing three or six five and making a bunch of excuses, but they are unwilling to help the homeless. This was why the gentlemen were so angry, and when they heard that the orchard had done it with very little money, they were all the more frustrated.
Sure enough, several gentlemen then removed the paper and ink, shouting, "Wine, wine!" With such a good flower and good scenery, how can we talk about such dirty things again, we might as well get drunk! ”
Dong Ping beckoned Xizi to go to the bottom of the mountain to serve dishes, and then took a pickaxe from under the pavilion, and personally cut three jars of fruit wine under a few peach trees not far away.
Several gentlemen were overjoyed and rushed to remove the mud seal at the mouth of the altar. In fact, this fruit wine has only been buried for a few days, and the brewing method is very ordinary, so the taste is naturally not very good. But at this time, everyone is in the middle of the mountains and flowers, even if they drink cold water, they feel delicious, let alone this original peach wine.
Several gentlemen drank a bowl of wine, and they all praised it. Waiting for Xizi to trot to bring a large tray of appetizers, the cold salad belly and garlic wild vegetables are very spicy and refreshing, and the braised chicken wings and chicken feet and air-dried sausages are fragrant and chewy, which can be described as the icing on the cake, and was immediately loved by all gentlemen.
Dong Rong gave her younger brother a look, signaled him to take care of a few gentlemen, and then carried the corner of her skirt to the pavilion at the top.
Mrs. Yang and other ladies were also tired of shopping at this time, and they were sitting in the pavilion while enjoying the panoramic view of the entire orchard and whispering. Seeing Dong Rong coming, Mrs. Yang smiled and said, "We also said where is you, the master, how can you let the guests move around at will?" Aren't you afraid that we will take over your orchard? ”
Dong Rong stepped forward to pour tea for a few ladies one by one, and said with a smile, "If the masters and wives like something, just take it, why bother to occupy it?" Besides, that bully is not something that everyone can do, at least they have to have the strength to fight, right? I'll let people serve wine and food, and when my wife and sisters are full, it's not too late to try to be a bully. ”
As soon as she finished saying this, not to mention a few ladies and ladies in the pavilion, even the maids and ladies who were waiting on the side were all laughing. Mrs. Yang patted Dong Rong's back with a smile and said angrily, "Why didn't you give birth to this girl in my belly, if you were my daughter, wouldn't I have to laugh every day." ”
Dong Rong glanced at Miss Yang out of the corner of her eyes, and saw that she was still smiling, and there was no discoloration on her face, so she said, "Master, but I am wrong, if I really ask my child to come to your house, I am afraid that you will be so angry that you will beat me every day." is still Wanyin's sister has a good temperament, quiet and generous, and she looks like a filial and polite person. ”
Everyone in the world loves to praise their children, and Mrs. Yang really had a stronger smile on her face, but she said modestly, "Don't praise her, this girl just has better rules." ”
Everyone laughed a few words, and Dong Rong saw that the sun was about to rise to the right sky, so she beckoned Silian and Wen Niang to serve wine and food. The women's wine and food are made alone in the small stove, which is much more exquisite. There are only four plates of braised vegetables with wine, and the rest have four hot dishes and one soup. The staple food is a large plate of pork and shrimp stuffed with shepherd's cabbage, each pinched into the shape of a flower, almost one end of the praise by all the female relatives, to take a bite full of delicious taste, so everyone is smiling.
Dong Rong held a jar of wine in her own hands and poured wine for the guests one by one. The originally cheap and fragile glass cups, on weekdays, are not uncommon for people with a slightly more solid family background, but now they have just changed to a slender and tall appearance, which actually looks much more elegant. When you pour in the fuchsia wine and shake it in your hand, everyone feels indescribably beautiful in their hearts.
Dong Rong smiled and held a glass of wine, and the sweet grape aroma was mixed with a faint taste of wine, which immediately captured the hearts of all women. Everyone pushed the cups and changed the lamps, tasted the dishes and laughed, and the pavilion became more and more lively.
A group of maids and women were also invited by Wen Niang to sit down at the small table under the pavilion, chicken, fish, meat and eggs on seven or eight things, of course, the wine did not dare to give more, but each person had a small cup to taste the taste. So in less than a moment, up and down the pavilion, whether it was the master or the slave, the face was camel red, and the peach blossoms seemed to have lost their color.
And at the Yamashita Restaurant, it is also very lively at this time. The students had already removed the screens and sat in a group with six or seven tables. On weekdays, the scholars in green shirts and white fans, dressed in a dashing manner, have long lost their image at this time, some have to grin their clothes and pour wine, some loudly guess the boxing and wine order, some hold chicken legs and chicken feet and chew, and some stand at the door in the wind and write poems loudly.
Sister-in-law Liu, who was hiding under the kitchen and planned to have a good close contact with the old man who was studying, and a few little guys were so shocked that they opened their mouths in shock, and they couldn't close them for a long time, and at the end they all laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt. From then on, they served those guests who came to the orchard to play, even if they were noble, they were more than respectful, but there was no reverence in their hearts. After all, no matter how majestic or beautiful the person is in front of the person, the queen of the person is the same to eat, drink and Lazar, right?
In this way, after eating, drinking, laughing and laughing up and down the mountain for a full day, seeing that the sun was about to fall on the west mountain, several gentlemen took the lead in saying goodbye. Dong Pingsheng was afraid that the half-drunk old gentlemen would fall down the stone steps, so he hurriedly called a few small men to help. As for the classmates, there is no need to count on it, they are all sleeping under the wine table in a drunken state by this time.
finally waited for the gentlemen to get into the car, and the ladies were also settled early, Dong Ping told his sister that he planned to stay with his classmates for one night. Dong Rong was busy instructing Wen Niang to box the snacks that several ladies liked, and when she heard this, she asked her younger brother to find Sister-in-law Liu.
Sure enough, Sister-in-law Liu directly took the little servants to take more than a dozen dense and thick straw curtains from the warehouse, and surrounded the small restaurant tightly in three or two clicks. The drunken scholars slept profusely, and soon became so hot that they automatically tore off their clothes. Dong Ping was relieved when he saw this, and rushed to see off the guests with his sister.
Mrs. Yang and the others were very happy to receive the snack box, thanked them one after another, and invited Dong Rong to be a guest at home in their spare time. Dong Rong responded one by one, and when she saw her younger brother coming over, she entrusted a few teachers to take care of her on weekdays.
Mrs. Yang saw the sister and brother standing under the car, similar in appearance and equally polite, and loved it even more in her heart. So he turned around and motioned to his daughter to look out the window, Wanyin didn't know what was going on, and she looked at it in confusion, just in time to see Dong Ping looking up with a smile. The orange-red sunset made the young man seem to have descended from heaven, causing the girl to blush instantly, hurriedly lowered the curtains, and lowered her head and refused to raise it for half a minute...
