Chapter Seventy-Two: The Wind
Master is here tonight, so the meal is extra hearty. On the table www.biquge.info pen & fun > pavilion there are roasted pork ribs, stewed shrimp, sweet and sour fish, and a large pot of pork belly lotus seed soup...... I couldn't close my mouth when I saw it.
When I was about to move the chopsticks, the third brother asked me quietly: "Sister Zhu, what good things did you bring me to Tanzhou this time?" ”
I was stunned for a moment, and put down my chopsticks with a weak heart.
To be honest, when I first arrived in Tanzhou, I was still thinking about it. Later, I thought that it would be a long time anyway, and it would not be too late to spend some time to buy it when I left.
But then out of Daddy's case, I rushed back from Tanzhou in a hurry, how could I have time to collect good things for him?
Thinking back to the way I swore before, compared to the present, I feel like I was slapping me in the face.
The third brother looked at me expectantly...... I couldn't bear to tell him this cruel truth.
I thought about it, what did I bring with me when I came back? Even if it's not a fun thing, it's valuable. It's better than nothing.
Thinking of "precious", I suddenly remembered the folding fan that Liang Gongzi gave me, isn't that green jade folding fan quite valuable?
But it was given to me by someone, so can I give it to someone else like this?
I was very entangled.
The expectation in the third brother's eyes deepened a little......
I grinned and said, "Of course I brought it, it's an excellent folding fan, I'll show it to you when the time comes, I don't know if you like it or not?" ”
"Folding fan?" The third brother frowned and said, "What's so fun about that?" ”
I grinded my teeth, patiently and gently said to him: "I see that the fan is painted well, and the fan pendant is extremely valuable, so I thought of bringing it back to you, you can see it when you arrive, if you really don't like it, I will send you something else." ”
"Okay then." The third brother was still not very satisfied.
I ignored him and ate with my head down.
At the dinner table, Daddy and Auntie have been very enthusiastic about inviting Master to serve the dishes. But I know Master's taste, and he has always liked light. The dishes on the table tonight are a little more meat for Master.
I thought about a few pears that Yueying asked people to knock down this afternoon, and when Yueying combed my hair, I nibbled on one, which was sweet and refreshing, so I thought that I would send it to Master later, just to relieve my greasy.
After the meal, everyone sat down to drink tea and chat.
Daddy asked Master to stay at home for a few more days, but Master politely refused, saying that after saying it for so long, he should go back to the Holy Lotus Hall to look.
Once upon a time, I heard Yueying say that the place where the grandmasters of the White Lotus Society lived was called "Holy Lotus Hall".
I thought to myself, I've been dragging Master for so long, and now that he's about to go back, do I have to give him a ride? So he told the master that he would send him back.
The master smiled and said that he had reached such an age, so why did he need someone else to send it, besides, the Holy Lotus Hall was in Qiantang, but it was only a day's journey.
Daddy said, let the eldest brother send the master back.
Master was still smiling and waving his hand.
Daddy said: "It just so happens that Feng Lin is also going to pass by there, and he can be a companion for Brother Jun Yu." ”
I was curious and asked, "Where is Big Brother going?" ”
Daddy said, "Go and bring your third uncle's cousin over to live." ”
I was stunned, I asked Yueying about A-Niang before, and Yueying said that A-Niang only had a sister and no brothers. So how did my third uncle and third aunt come from?
It's Daddy, who has three brothers. Most of them live in their hometowns in Anhui.
Could it be that my cousin is the cousin of my uncle's family?
It's not impossible, although it's not a direct cousin relationship, but for cousins, the cousins of my uncle's family can also be said to be cousins of our family.
Just thinking about it, the third brother suddenly gently squeezed me and said in a low voice: "The eldest brother is going to pick up a little lady." That little lady's nickname is good, so she will call it 'Liangyuan'......"
Big brother glanced at us lightly.
I really want to tell the third brother not to spread other people's gossip in private, because I may not be gossiped about one day. But I pursed my lips, but I couldn't help it.
remembered that Yue Ying told me that there was a happy event in the family soon, and it was related to the eldest brother. Could it be that Daddy's intention to let the eldest brother pick up Liangyuan's cousin is here?
The eldest brother said calmly: "Huizhou is far away from Qiantang, so it's better to let the third brother accompany me, and if there is anything on the way, I can take care of it." ”
The third brother's eyes lit up.
Daddy said, "You can just bring a servant." ”
The third brother's eyes darkened. I knew he was just trying to get out and have fun.
Seeing his pitiful appearance, I felt a little unbearable, so I also helped the eldest brother and said: "Dad, it's rare for my cousin to come here, it's better to let the eldest brother and the third brother go together, and the servants follow together, if something happens, the servants can't be the master, won't they snub the cousin?" ”
The third brother threw a grateful look at me.
Daddy thought for a moment and said, "Okay then." He also told the eldest brother: "You should be more happy on the road, don't let him mess around." ”
"Okay." The eldest brother smiled.
Because the master planned to return to the Holy Lotus Hall early tomorrow morning, the eldest brother and third brother also left for Huizhou early tomorrow morning. Because by the way, after sending off the master, they can go directly to Huizhou.
After sitting and chatting for a while, everyone went back to their respective homes.
I went back to the attic, took two pears in my hand, and groped my way to Master's.
Before the Master was resting, when he saw me taking two pears into the house, he asked, "What are you ......?"
I put on a big smile, spread my hands, and said, "Give it to Master." He added: "This is home-grown, although it is not a precious thing, but it is refreshing to eat, and it is quite tireless." ”
Master smiled, but his expression was a little strange.
I put the pear on the table, and was about to withdraw, when Master suddenly sighed and said to me, "Ah Zhu......"
"Huh?" I looked at him in confusion.
Master said, "I didn't want to care about such a thing, but it's not a trivial matter, so I still have to talk to you first." ”
"What does Master want to say?" I wondered.
He glanced at me, looked a little embarrassed, and said, "Do you know that your parents have already set a family affair for you?" ”
I was stunned and thought to myself, could it be that the family business in Master's mouth refers to the family business that Daddy told me before? He nodded and said, "Yes." ”
The master furrowed his brows and said, "You knew about it earlier?" He added: "I didn't know before, but I allowed you to come around in the academy!" ”
I was a little surprised to see that Master suddenly got angry.
Master asked me again, "What's the matter with you and that Lan Gongzi?" Since you have a marriage contract with someone else, how can you get along with Lan Gongzi in private? Are you confused about doing such a thing? ”
I was stunned for a long time and explained, "Master misunderstood, my father said that the family matter he said was only verbal, and it was not decided. ”
Master said, "Why hasn't it been decided?" People will come to the house in a few days to officially propose. ”
