When Xie Hao found Xie Yu, her eyes were wide, she really couldn't believe it, now it was already a moment of Shen, and it would hardly be long before dinner, and Xie Yu was still eating lunch at this time.

She couldn't think of a reason, so she had to ask him, "Third brother, how long have you been eating this meal?" ”

Xie Yu smiled: "It seems that it has been two hours." ”

Can't finish a table of dishes in two hours?

Xie Hao didn't believe it, and when her eyes swept over the food on the table, she didn't believe his words even more. There were many dishes on the table, but each one was still full, as if I hadn't eaten a few chopsticks in total.

"Don't you eat vegetables?" She wondered.

The reason why she said you is because there is still a person sitting at the dinner table, and it is a bit inappropriate to say that he is sitting, this person is almost as if he is asleep, half lying on the table, but he is not asleep, because he can still drink, he tilted his head and squinted his eyes to fill the wine glass in front of him, and then quickly poured the wine into his throat.

People who pour wine like this, but do not leak a drop of wine, and drink while lying down, but do not drink wine to their noses, are absolutely sober.

But Xie Zhen looked up and down, left and right, but he really couldn't find a little sober appearance, his whole person was like a drunk, full of alcohol, and he didn't know how much wine he drank.

Xie Hao soon knew how much wine he had drunk, because the jar of wine he had drunk was now on the ground, and Xie Hao carefully counted it, there were a total of eight jars of wine. Each jar was drunk cleanly, and the bottom of the altar was bare, shining.

Xie Zhen couldn't help but sigh and asked Xie Yu, "Third brother, why is the third uncle so drunk again?" ”

Xie Yu seemed to be helpless and sighed, and asked rhetorically, "You should know why I eat a meal for so long now, right?" ”

Xie Zhen pursed her lips, she did know why they had eaten this meal for two hours, because eating with an alcoholic was already more time-consuming than usual.

But when did the third uncle become so addicted to alcohol? She really wasn't impressed.

"Are you going to keep him drinking?" She asked.

Xie Yu shook his head and said, "Of course not, I have already told him that after drinking this last pot, you are not allowed to drink it again." ”

That's pretty much it. Xie Hao nodded. No more worries about their father and son. He only said to Xie Yu with great interest: "Third brother, I will hold a party in the mansion in a few days, and I won't say anything to you, you will definitely come anyway." But I'm sorry to tell my brother. ”

Xie Yu silently calculated the days in his heart. "When is it decided?" ”

Xie Hao didn't think much about it. "Three days later." ”

It was a good day. The corners of Xie Yu's mouth hooked up with an inexplicable smile.

"Okay, I'll talk to my eldest brother."

"Hmm." Xie Zhen nodded heavily, and discussed with him with great interest what banquet to set up that day.

There is really no one who is better at spending money than Xie Yu. He obviously didn't go out of the house much, but he knew very well which shop in the capital had delicious roast duck, which restaurant had good cold dishes, and which stall had fresh fruits.

Xie Hao wasted little time, and quickly planned the banquet for the day.

After drinking the last pot of wine, Master Xie San suddenly smiled.

Xie Hao looked over with some surprise, and always felt that this ridicule was very meaningful.

"It's fine." Xie Yu said lightly: "Your third uncle is drunk. ”

Also, it's strange that people who have drunk so much jar wine are not drunk, so maybe it's just the third uncle burping?

……

On the day of the banquet, Yu Jiuniang was really dressed up very beautifully, which was even more ingenious than the last time she entered the palace for the banquet.

Xie Zhen was holding Xie Yun's hand and talking on the side, when she suddenly looked up and saw her, she was stunned at first, and then couldn't help but squeeze her eyebrows at her.

Yu Jiuniang stomped her foot in shame and shame.

Xie Yun was a little inexplicable.

Xie Zhen couldn't help but smile and introduced her.

"This is the ninth lady of the Yu family, that is, our eldest sister's sister-in-law, but things in the world are so coincidental, we may also have the opportunity to be other people's sisters-in-law!"

Xie Yun didn't know that she was joking with Yu Jiuniang, so she smiled and pointed out the inappropriateness in her words, and said, "Zhen'er, look at what you said, we were going to be other people's sisters-in-law one day, what chance is there not a chance?" ”

Xie Zhen didn't explain, but only smiled evilly and raised her eyebrows at Yu Jiuniang.

Yu Jiuniang's face, which was already rouge, was even more colorful, and she bit her lip and glanced at Xie Zhen fiercely.

Xie Zhen didn't dare to provoke her anymore, so she accepted it when she saw it and shifted the topic elsewhere.

Fortunately, Ye Xunhuan also came at this time, and she actually came with a gift.

"I heard that your little brother is also here, and I don't know what to give to the children, so I went to the gold shop." There was an unprecedented hint of unnaturalness on her usually indifferent face, and she squirmed and handed over a small red cloth bag.

Xie Zhen was a little surprised, and subconsciously pushed the red cloth packet back. There are no cheap things in the gold shop, so it shouldn't be that Xunhuan has lost most of his money and bought some valuables, right?

"It's good that you're here, what other gifts do you want to bring him? He is young, what does he know? If you want to slap him, just buy a string of sugar gourds to stick to his mouth, where else to buy? You take this thing back quickly, if you don't take it back, I'm going to eat the vinegar of the little fat man, we have known each other for so long, and I haven't seen you give me any gifts, as soon as the little fat man comes, you will give him gold. Xie Zhen snorted heavily in a pretended manner.

Ye Xunhuan is a fast catcher, and his mind is naturally much more sensitive than ordinary people, and when he heard this, he didn't know that Xie Zhen had good intentions, but he still stubbornly stuffed the red cloth bag into her hand, deliberately kept a straight face, and said: "You are so old, and you are still jealous with your younger brother, are you ashamed?" If you don't accept it, I'll be gone! ”

Xie Zhen was a little dumbfounded at first, and then couldn't laugh or cry. I feel that Xunhuan doesn't know who took it wrong, and now I can still say threatening things.

"Good, good." She reluctantly took the red cloth bag.

It just so happened that Mrs. Xie Si hugged Xie Xiaopang to greet the friends invited by Xie Zhen.

Xie Zhen handed the red cloth bag to the little fat man, pointed at Ye Xunhuan, and said, "Well, this is the most beautiful sister who gave you, she is so beautiful, you will never forget it in the future." ”

She said that Ye Xunhuan was the most beautiful, didn't she want to make Yu Jiuniang unhappy?

Fourth Mrs. Xie glared at her, thinking to herself, why couldn't this child of her own family speak like this?

Fortunately, Yu Jiuniang is very broad-hearted, and she is used to playing with Xie Zhen on weekdays. Therefore, I didn't take this sentence to heart at all. He stepped forward with a smile, took off one of his bracelets and handed it to Xie Xiaofat.

"Little brother, my sister is in a hurry, and I didn't bring you any gifts. You take the bracelet first. When I go back, my sister will make up the gift for you. ”

Xie Xiaofat grabbed the red cloth bag in one hand. Holding the silver bracelet in one hand, he didn't know the value of the items in his hand, only the red cloth bag was filled with sugar. So I first leaned over my head and licked it on the red cloth bag, which made a wet saliva stain on the red cloth. The red brie bread is gold, and of course it can't taste like sugar. Xie Xiaofat's nose wrinkled slightly, and he turned his head to nibble on the silver bracelet, which still had the fragrance of Yu Jiuniang's body, but it was only a floral fragrance, which was far from the fragrance of sugar.

Xie Xiaofatzi suddenly lost interest, threw both things to Xie Zhen, and slowly picked up his feet, put them in his mouth and slurped gently.

Ye Xunhuan and Yu Jiuniang were stunned by Xie Xiaofat's strange fetish for a while.

Because Xie Xiaochubby made a small fortune, Xie Hao looked at the two of them dumbfounded, and laughed: "Wonderful, my little fat man is more effective than the lucky boy, it seems that I will not be short of food and clothing in the future no matter what." ”

Fourth Madam Xie glanced at her lightly and said, "Hearing you say this, people who don't know will only think that we are abusing you." ”

Xie Zhen laughed, honestly handed over the red cloth bag and silver bracelet to her mother, and said with a smile: "Am I not joking." ”

Fourth Mrs. Xie snorted lightly, turned her head to Xie Yun and said, "Yun'er, look at your sister, don't let her be so open-mouthed and unruly." ”

Xie Yun nodded with a smile.

After Yu Jiuniang waited for Mrs. Xie to leave, her heart was a little more relaxed, she stuck out her tongue, and said in Xie Zhen's ear: "Your mother seems to be a little fierce, isn't your life at home difficult?" Do you want to come and stay with me for a few months? ”

Xie Zhen shook her head and refused her kindness, and grinned: "My mother didn't have such a big temper in the past. But what her temper is or what she does has nothing to do with you. You just have to put a hundred hearts, my aunt's temper is notoriously gentle, and you can't bear it. ”

Yu Jiuniang's face turned red, and she couldn't help but reach out and twist it on her waist lightly, and said angrily: "Dead girl, you came to me today to make fun of me?" ”

Xie Zhen dodged and begged for mercy, and said with a smile: "Don't dare, don't dare, isn't this that people haven't come yet?" ”

Yu Jiuniang suddenly reacted to who she had invited, and her hands and feet couldn't help but be a little restrained.

Xie Yun saw them muttering together, and then they made a fuss again, both happy for them and a little helpless, and did not expect to be able to integrate into their small circle immediately, only generously and decently greeted the guests for Xie Zhen, that is, Ye Xunhuan.

Xie Yun asked Ye Xunhuan to go to the hall first to drink a cup of tea and have some snacks.

Ye Xunhuan nodded politely to her, glanced at Xie Zhen and Yu Jiuniang, who were in a hurry, and didn't interrupt them without saying a word, only smiled slightly, and then followed Xie Yun to the hall.

Not long after she sat down, she hadn't even picked up the teacup, but Yu Jiuniang broke in in a hurry and sat opposite her.

After sitting down, Yu Jiuniang suddenly seemed to be a different person, and her gestures were a little weak, and she even raised her little thumb intentionally or unintentionally when she held the teacup.

After Ye Xunhuan noticed this detail, it was not difficult to guess that Xie Zhen was making fun of Xie Zhang again.

Sure enough, Xie Zhen immediately followed, sat next to Yu Jiuniang, and looked at her with a smile.

Yu Jiuniang turned sideways and ignored her, as if she didn't bother to talk to her.

The people are finally here.

Xie Zhang and Xie Yu came together, the two of them stood together, they were both good men with dignified appearances and handsome spirits, except that Xie Zhang was slightly taller than Xie Yu, the two brothers who were both wearing white robes today were really a little difficult to distinguish from their temperament.

Yu Jiuniang has become more silent since Xie Zhang's arrival, and even when she speaks, she is soft-spoken, and several times Xie Zhen has to put her ear in front of her to hear what she is talking about.

Girls seem to be born inferior in front of the boys they like.

Xie Zhang has also left a deep impression on this smug girl since the last picnic in the suburbs, and when he saw it today, he felt a different way, soft and weak, which made him feel a little pity in his heart, and he blocked Yu Jiuniang's wine several times.

Xie Zhen and Xie Yu looked at each other very tacitly and smiled.

But when Xie Yu turned his head to look at the wine glass in front of him after laughing, the corners of his mouth tightened, and there was not even a trace of a smile.

Because today is a banquet in the Xie Mansion, they can get drunk without any scruples.

After Xie Yu drank the glass of wine in front of him, he quickly filled it with another glass, and then immediately drank it again without blinking his eyes.

He actually drank very quickly. This is exactly the same as his adoptive father, Master Xie San.

But those who drink quickly must not be very happy.

Xie Yu's mood is indeed not very happy now, how can a prodigal son who is about to leave his friends and family be in a good mood?

Xie Yu thought that he actually used the word prodigal son to describe himself, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a self-deprecating laugh, of course he couldn't be a prodigal son, only those who were carefree and chic were worthy of being called a prodigal son, but he had too many responsibilities on his shoulders, and he couldn't act arbitrarily anyway. He is not qualified to be called a prodigal son, he is almost like a puppeteer.

But if what he planned can be done, then what does it matter if he leaves for a while now?

Before the wry smile on the corner of Xie Yu's mouth disappeared, he had already poured two more glasses of wine into his mouth.

Xie Zhen finally noticed his abnormality at this time, his appearance could not be said to be drinking, just like a person who had been thirsty for seven days and seven nights suddenly saw the way to drink water.

So when Xie Yu went to lift the wine jug again, Xie Hao reached out and pressed his hand.

"Third brother, let's eat some food!" She looked at him seriously and smiled: "You have introduced me to so many dishes, you have to help me check it today, to see if they are bullying me for being ignorant and using the skills of a little chef to fool me." ”

Xie Yu drank so much, he was not even drunk, he looked at her with clear eyes, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, if they dare to lie to you, the third brother will take someone to tear down their signboard tonight." ”

can still laugh, at least it means that nothing major happened. Xie Zhen calmed down a little, stretched out her chopsticks to pick up vegetables for him, and said, "Then you don't have to rush to go tonight, right?" ”

Xie Yu smiled and said lightly: "That's not good, the third brother is leaving tomorrow, if you don't go tonight, do you have to wait for ten or eight years to come to them to settle accounts?" ”

Xie Zhen's body stiffened, and the lychee meat held on the chopsticks fell into Xie Yu's bowl.
