Chapter 42: Catching the Wind [For Guo Ma's He's Bi+]
(I received Guo's mother's and Shibi before it was put on the shelves, so happy!) The old rules, plus more celebrations. Thank you all for your support along the way.
I hope there will be more tips after it is released at 0:00 tonight. There are also little pinks and subscriptions, please support new books, genuine subscriptions. Only with everyone's support will there be more motivation to add more.
As for the barrel of the stolen text, please be merciful. I don't want to say anything cruel, but I rely on code words to support my family, so please don't let the puppet be behind the computer from the first day of the new year with a villain silently reading you.
And then tomorrow there should be three more celebrations, of course, if everyone can throw 20 pinks over, or tomorrow to smash the block and the bi, even will add more drops, haha! O(∩_∩)O~)
As the current male and female heads of the Hou family, the courtyard where Mrs. Hou lives is not the best for the whole family. Because there was still Mrs. Hou there, she could only retreat to the second place and live in the second-class courtyard to the east of the main courtyard.
It stands to reason that it is prudent to hold a banquet to entertain guests in the hall in the backyard, but Mrs. Hou did not want to let Nianfu Zusun show up in front of people, so she set up the banquet in the side room in her courtyard.
Seeing that her daughter had been gone for a while, but she hadn't come over for a long time, Mrs. Hou was a little unhappy. Could it be that the ancestors and grandsons of the Shi family actually ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and they wanted to give her a dismount?
I was about to call someone to urge him, but someone came.
When the people reported and lifted the curtain, Mrs. Hou deliberately straightened her posture. Unexpectedly, it was his baby son who walked in first, and he opened the curtain and looked behind him with a smile.
First Hou Sangu came in, and then Father Shi, who had already changed into new clothes, but the old man didn't look good. But when the girl walked in, Mrs. Hou seemed to suddenly burst into a brilliant light in front of her eyes.
The girl is only fourteen or fifteen, with a slender figure and a slight curvaceousness. It is already soft and bright like a delicate flower on the branch in early spring, and she is wearing a collared robe woven like a blooming peach blossom, which makes people's eyes hurt even more.
The girl walked in step by step, and the lights were cast on her brightly or darkly, and people faintly saw the grape pattern lightly embroidered on the cloth, which was extremely elegant and chic.
Mrs. Hou naturally recognized that this piece of clothing was the piece that her precious son begged from her? But when this clothing is compared on his body, he only feels that it looks very good, but at this time, when he wears it on a girl, there is still an indescribable extravagance, which makes people unconsciously give birth to three points of respect, and dare not make a mistake at will.
"Mother-" Hou Sangu called softly, and finally woke Mrs. Hou from her surprise.
Secretly calmed down, and when she glanced at the girl again, Mrs. Hou suddenly felt unhappy in her heart. Half of it was to cause the shame of losing his mind, and the other half was also because of his son's jealousy of pleasing Lu.
Looking at her mother's undisguised displeasure, Hou Sangu frowned a little. is also a woman, of course she understands Mrs. Hou's feelings, and when she sees Sister Mu so beautiful in this dress, she can't help but be a little jealous. But at this moment, no matter how people say they are guests, how can they treat each other so coldly? Didn't you see the little brother's face and it didn't look good?
Hou Sangu stepped forward with a dutiful smile, "The younger brother took them to see grandpa, I only met them all the way over, so it was too late, don't blame me for being unfavorable." ”
Listening to the word grandpa, Mrs. Hou finally came to her senses, quickly adjusted her facial expression, and tried her best to put on a kind and kind smile, "Look at me, I just care about looking at people, I forgot to ask you to sit down." Sit down and serve! ”
As she said this, she sat down unceremoniously at the main seat.
Is this to let Daddy Shi sit under her? After all, she is a junior, is she so rude? Nian Fu just wanted to say something, but Hou Fangyu stopped first, "Mother, how can you not invite Grandpa Shi to sit on the head?" I just went to see my grandfather, and my grandfather also said that he couldn't be an accompaniment, and asked my father to come and accompany Grandpa Shi to dinner. Get out of the way! ”
Mrs. Hou sank her face, but saw that Hou Xianglin was obviously called by someone sent by her son, and apologized when she entered the door, "I'm sorry, I'm late." Uncle Shi, you have always been in good health, please sit down. ”
When his gaze swept to Nian Fu, Hou Xianglin was obviously also amazed. But he is a man, and he will not be jealous like Mrs. Hou, he just thinks that he is just a beautiful girl.
With him singing here, Father Shi was not angry, in the end, he was given to the top, and then Hou Xianglin sat down by himself, and smiled at the few women and sons who were standing, "It's not an outsider, why be polite?" Sit down. ”
So, Mrs. Hou pulled Nianfu and gave her daughter a look, and asked her to join her, sandwiching Nianfu in the middle, and drove Hou Fangyu, who wanted to come over, to Hou Xianglin's side, "You men want to drink, don't come here to make trouble." ”
Hou Fangyu had no choice but to sit down.
After the people brought the dishes like flowing water, and after raising their glasses together and saying a few polite words that had been hard from afar, Mrs. Hou instructed the maid to bring a dish to Daddy Shi, and said with a smile on her face, "This is the fresh goods they sent from outside, and they are ready to give the old man a big birthday tomorrow, please try it first." ”
But Daddy Shi looked at the dish and couldn't do it. What the hell is this?
Mrs. Hou is proud in her heart, don't you want to be an elder? Then please make a fool of yourself first.
Hou Fangyu saw that Father Shi was in a predicament, but he wanted to help, but he saw Sister Mu speak first, "Grandpa is injured, not all well, and his fingers are not so flexible, so I should serve him." ”
Seeing her accuse and get up, she reached out and took a monster in Daddy Shi's eyes out of the plate, pinched her head and tail neatly, and then poked it with chopsticks, and a piece of complete meat was taken out and sent to Daddy Shi.
Hou Fangyu was pleasantly surprised, "Sister Nianfu, it turns out that your family also recognizes this rich shrimp." ”
Nianfu smiled lightly, "You are called the rich family, but we are called Pipi shrimp and shrimp, and they are not valuable things. Don't look at this weird and scary look, it's actually a paper tiger, nothing powerful. Well, it's good to cook this salt water at home, but the salt and pepper ones are actually better. Spring is in the spring, it is the time when this shrimp is plump, you might as well try it when you have time. ”
"Also," Nianfu said, pointing to the sashimi and a whole plate of brown mustard paste in front of him, "If you like to eat this kind of fresh food, you should be careful, although mustard can dissolve the poison of fish and crabs, but I heard that if you eat too much, some people will still have worms in their stomachs." Don't be greedy for a quick appetite, it's good to eat something wrong. Besides, eating too much mustard will hurt the stomach, and when you go to the back, just a small plate, so much can't be eaten and wasted. ”
Mrs. Hou only heard that her face was blue and white, and the handkerchief in her hand was about to be crushed. She deliberately bought these two dishes at a high price, and it depends on the ancestors and grandchildren of the Shi family playing the iron plate, right? But why is it that right now, the one who kicked the iron plate has become himself?
What paper tiger, is this scolding her? Isn't she a tofu seller? How do you know so much?
Father Shi smiled faintly and took over, "Okay, you know more about the girl, and you don't show off here." Regardless of whether the things brought by others are worth anything or not, it is always a part of people's hearts. Children's homes, how can you judge indiscriminately? ”
His words seemed to be teaching his granddaughter, but it sounded more like a lesson to the Hou family. Especially Mrs. Hou, she almost couldn't sit still.
"Yes, I know I'm wrong." Nianfu was very well-behaved and sat back in a low-key manner.
I was snorting coldly in my heart, even if you come up with a bowl of shark fin, let's see if my sister will be a fan!
Hou Xianglin smiled a little reluctantly, "I just said that this raw food is not good, but you don't believe it, you want to make trouble with this new thing, this time you told people, right?" Why don't you pull it down and come back when you're done? ”
He said to Father Shi again, "I don't pay much attention to food, but I didn't expect my niece to know more." Come, try this elbow, it's so badly stewed, it's just right for you old people. ”
When Father Shi saw him change his attitude, he smiled vaguely and didn't say anything more.
The meal was finally eaten peacefully, after the meal, Hou Xianglin and his son accompanied Shi Lao Dad to drink tea and eat, Hou Sangu saw that her mother's state had not yet recovered, remembered her own task, and deliberately pulled Nianfu gossip.
“…… There are three sisters in front of my family, and their names are Zhaodi, Daidi and Yindi, and I finally brought a younger brother to me, and my father and mother are like an eyeball. If any girl becomes my brother's daughter-in-law in the future, it will not be easy! ”
This nonsense took Nianfu to a palm-high golden birthday star in the back room, and she deliberately asked the housekeeper next to her, "Who sent this birthday gift to grandpa?" ”
The housekeeper's mother smiled cooperatively, "Grandma's question really stopped me." This is either gold or jade, and I don't know which one sent it. But looking at this head, it's not big, it's nothing. Among the serious relatives of our family, it is not so shabby to send it, so my aunt and grandmother don't have to care. ”
Is this a mockery of their family's lack of money to give gifts? Nianfu also smiled, with an innocent face, "Mom's words are really reasonable, anyway, your family wants to have a lot of this thing, and it's not a pity to lose a few." The third aunt and grandmother don't have to ask your mother so carefully, so as not to make you look shabby. ”
Syllable!
The words were like two loud slaps, and they were hotly slapped in the faces of Aunt Hou and the housekeeper's mother.
As a slave, it makes sense not to take care of the master's belongings? As the master, you don't even have the qualifications to ask about these "shabby" gifts, are you still a P?
Hou Sangu really didn't know what to say, and suddenly, Mrs. Hou suddenly spoke, "Sister Mu, you come with me." Third sister, you are out. ”
Hou Sangu was stunned for a moment, but saw that her mother had sunk her face, not at all like her usual joking look, looking at Nianfu was like looking at a serious adult, "Sister Mu is not a stupid person, you don't need to beat the side drum here, you can go out and let your mother talk to her." ”
Hou Sangu didn't dare to say anything, so she honestly took her subordinates to retreat together, and closed the door.
Mrs. Hou looked at Nianfu so quietly, and Nianfu also looked at her quietly.
After a while, Mrs. Hou sighed, "You are a wise girl, if I have a second son, I will let Yu'er marry you." But in this life, there is only one evil obstacle, so although I will be sorry for you, I will also be offended. ”
Nianfu was still quiet, watching Mrs. Hou wipe the corners of her eyes, and there was no word of comfort. Everyone else is going to offend her, should she still sympathize with her? That's the little white flower of the Virgin!
She didn't move, because she wanted to hear how this Mrs. Hou planned to offend her.
"Although my family is wide, there are still a lot of troubles, and the most troublesome thing is that there is no shelter in the officialdom, and it is inevitable that people will be taken care of in many things. So Yu'er has to get married, otherwise, otherwise, ......"
I thought it was reasonable, but in the girl's calm gaze, Mrs. Hou herself felt that she couldn't go on.
What if you don't get married? Will the family be ruined? Can't make money? Of course not. However, if you can marry a fellow acquaintance, how much benefit will it bring?
Although Tongzhi is only an official from the sixth grade, he is in charge of a river engineering and water conservancy. The Hou family is in the timber business, and most of them have to be transported by waterway, and if they have the protection of the Tongzhi family, they will not talk about it, but they will have some tricks in tax declaration......
Mrs. Hou thought of the large amount of gold and silver, and her conscience vanished again, and she looked at the girl opposite with eagerness and hope, "You are so smart, you must understand, right?" ”
