Chapter 035: It turns out that the war is all around him.
"He is worthy of being the son of Lord Song's family, and he has such courage at a young age, haha...... So old and old people leaned on the old and sold the old to ask the little boy, do you dare to treat the cup of tea in front of you as wine in the cup, and clean it with the old decay? The old man listened to Song Nianzhi say something to be said in the future, where could he believe it, so he immediately got up and laughed at Song Nianzhi with a wine glass.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him intently, Song Nianzhi, who was a little uncontrollable, grinned and laughed with the old man, and peeked at his sister Song Rumu next to him, and Song Mama behind his sister, seeing that both of them were smiling at the corners of their mouths and did not speak, just like the general expression when he had something to wait for him to make a decision, so Song Nianzhi, who had a pillar in his heart, said to the old man without hurrying, "Why not?" ”。
Song Rumu on the side thought that a cup of tea didn't matter, so she sat next to her and laughed silently, watching how Song Nianzhi coped with this kind of scene. But when she saw Song Nianzhi's expression when she said the last sentence, she couldn't help but be stunned, because Song Nianzhi's small figure at this time was very much like the Song Han she saw when she first met six years ago, and there was a faint Song Han's free and easy style in her movements.
"Huh...... The old decay will be cleaned first! Hearing what Song Nianzhi said, the old man drank the rice wine in the cup and poured the cup face down to Song Nianzhi.
Song Nianzhi, who is in the period of liking to imitate others, picked up the teacup in front of him without being verbose, looked up and drank the tea in the cup as if he was an old man.
"Good ......" Song Nianzhi's demeanor was exchanged for loud applause from everyone, which also brought the stunned Song Rumu back to his senses.
Such a loud cheer naturally attracted the attention of people at the next table, but because Song Rumu and their table, except for their two sisters and brothers, were all senior people in the village, so even if everyone was curious, it was not easy for them to come forward to watch, so they could only secretly look at the situation here.
And Mo Zhiyao, who was busy greeting guests everywhere, happened to see Song Nianzhi drinking the cup of tea, so he strode over, patted Song Nianzhi's little shoulder hard, and laughed: "Xiao Nianzhi~~ Okay, I didn't embarrass your father and your sister!" In the past, the kid from the capital always said that you were a sissy, if he saw your performance today, he would see that he could still say that! ”
"Ahem...... Ahem......"
Mo Zhiyao shouted out Lu Yixuan's jokes in the past, which made Song Rumu, who was the eldest sister, and Song Nianzhi, who was young but already knew the word face, cough wildly at the same time.
It wasn't until the old man who had been drinking with Song Nianzhi before got up and smiled at Mo Zhiyao: "Xiao Zhi, although you are now the chief catcher of our Fuyang, you can't talk to Song Gongzi like this!" ”
Got it?
This title made Song Rumu almost couldn't hold back her laughter, but fortunately, she still remembered that Mo Zhiyao was the host of today's banquet, and she finally held back her laughter, but Song Nianzhi next to her laughed "poof".
"Cough ......" This time it was Mo Zhiyao's turn to cough wildly, especially when he heard Song Nianzhi laugh out loud; Seeing Mama Song, who doesn't smile at outsiders on weekdays, she also pursed her lips and smiled; And although the little ghost spirit Song Rumu didn't smile, she also blushed, and her constantly shaking shoulders revealed her mood at this time.
All this made Mo Zhiyao is majesty, and he couldn't help but feel aggrieved like a child and said to the old man who had relieved Song Nianzhi: "Uncle Jiu, you are old...... Alas, what you have always taught is that you have taught ......".
After Mo Zhiyao escaped in ashes, Song Nianzhi's ordeal really began.
Originally, a few old people who were only in a wait-and-see state, seeing that Song Nianzhi was young and had a lot of pride, they all wanted to fight with Song Nianzhi for tea, and in the end, even a few Fuyang squires at the side table also joined in, and they all wanted tea instead of wine to toast their son of the county commander.
Poor Song Nianzhi could handle the one-on-one answer before, but like now, when several people rushed over together, he couldn't cope anymore, and he didn't know how to refuse in a hurry, so he could only let a cup of tea go down.
Song Rumu on the side didn't look good, and quickly kicked Song Nianzhi twice under the table, and when Song Nianzhi finished drinking another cup of tea and looked back at her, Song Rumu said "Gong" to Song Nianzhi silently with her mouth.
Song Nianzhi, who knew about it, was like an amnesty, touched his round little belly, and said to everyone that he wanted to be respectful. Everyone laughed and then returned to their seats and let Song Nianzhi go.
When Song Nianzhi was taken to Gong by Mama Song, who was also worried about Song Rumu, Song Rumu sat there alone and ate food, and she was no longer interested in everyone who continued to fight for wine.
"Mother, Yi'er wants to eat chicken legs......"
When the people at the table were drinking to their hearts, a little girl's voice came, and the voice as crisp as a yellow warbler made Song Rumu, who had already eaten and waited for Song Nianzhi to come back, look at it curiously.
I saw a thin girl not far away wearing shabby coarse cloth clothes, about the same size as Song Nianzhi, holding a middle-aged woman sitting in the corner washing dishes, with a pair of big eyes that looked particularly big because of her thinness, looking directly at the chicken leg in the hand of a child opposite Song Rumu, and she was pursing her lips and swallowing saliva hard.
When the woman who was immersed in washing the dishes heard this, she raised her head and said to the girl reluctantly: "Yi'er is obedient, what did my mother say to you when she came?" ”
"......" The little girl squatted down beside the woman silently, reached out to help the woman wash the dishes, and asked while washing the dishes, "But...... Mother, they only drink and don't eat, can't they give Yi'er food? Yi'er is so hungry! ”。
Song Rumu clearly saw the pain in the woman's eyes, but when she spoke to the girl later, she deliberately frowned and said fiercely: "Do you want your mother to sell you, and you are happy to eat every day?" ”
"Don't, mother, Yi'er wants to follow her mother, Yi'er doesn't eat chicken legs!" When the little girl heard this, her tears fell from her eyes, and she begged the woman in a panic.
The girl's words made the woman can't help but redden, don't turn her head and secretly wipe the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, before she smiled at the girl: "Yi'er, when the guests leave, my mother asked the host if it was okay to ask the host for a chicken leg for you?" ”。
"Wow, really? Mother...... You're the best girl in the world! The little girl, who did not notice that her mother's eyes were red, happily hoped that the feast would end soon, and that she would be able to eat delicious chicken legs.
Song Rumu only felt very uncomfortable in her heart, and she couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so she could only turn around, look at the chicken leg on the table and hesitate whether to get one for the little girl now, but she was worried that if she really did this, it would not only damage Mo Zhiyao's face, but also embarrass the mother and daughter, so she could only endure it.
Song Rumu, who was in a tangle, didn't expect that Song Nianzhi, who had returned from Gonggong, also saw this scene, Song Nianzhi's heart didn't have as many scruples as Song Rumu, but the little girl wanted to eat chicken legs but couldn't eat them, so she ran to the table and stood in her original seat, and smiled at Uncle Nine and others who were smiling and wanted to greet him: "Uncle Nine, can Nianzhi dare to ask for a chicken leg?" ”。
Because the mother and daughter were relatively close to Song Rumu and Song Nianzhi who had returned, the ninth uncle, who had not heard the previous words, laughed and said, "If the little boy wants to eat, just take it, how can you talk about fighting courage?" ”。
"It's all because Nianzhi asked for it for her, that's why I asked like this!" Song Nianzhi's smiling face didn't feel that there was anything wrong with doing this.
"Oh? It's good for the little boy to be casual. Uncle Nine was surprised, and without thinking much about it, he nodded and agreed.
So Song Nianzhi, who got the chicken leg, picked up the chicken leg and turned around and walked to the mother and daughter, handed the chicken leg to the girl and said with a smile: "Na, Nianzhi helped you get a chicken leg, eat it." ”
The girl, who had already bowed her head and started to help her mother wash the dishes, raised her head when she heard this, and looked at Song Nianzhi who was standing in a brocade dress in the sun, and there was a moment of confusion in her eyes, but it didn't take long for her to see the chicken leg in Song Nianzhi's hand, and she turned into surprise, and got up happily and asked Song Nianzhi, "Is this for Yi'er?" ”。
"Hmm......" Song Nianzhi grinned, didn't say anything else, and just handed the chicken leg forward.
"But...... Mother? The little girl's outstretched hand retracted and asked her mother with her eyes.
The woman who had been washing the dishes saw that everyone stopped their chopsticks and looked here, her weather-beaten face was red and white for a while, and after stabilizing her mood, she hurriedly said to the girl named Bing'er: "Since it was rewarded by the son, Yi'er should take it quickly." ”
"Hmm" The little girl nodded happily, carefully took the chicken leg from Song Nianzhi's hand, and when she took a small bite and chewed it slowly, her little face was as if she had eaten the most delicious thing, revealing a smile that was brighter than the sun and more satisfied.
Song Nianzhi on the side also seemed to have done a great good deed, and he smiled extremely satisfied, especially when he heard the little girl say in a coquettish voice: "My name is Yan Yiyi, you have to remember, I will definitely repay you in the future", Song Nianzhi smiled even more cheerfully, nodded and smiled: "Okay, if you still want to eat, just tell me."
"Well, but Yiyi is not greedy, one is enough!" After the little girl took another bite of the chicken leg, she said to Song Nianzhi seriously.
The conversation between the two children silenced the originally festive atmosphere for a while.
In order to save face, he had to coax Song Nianzhi's kind words back to the table, and explained to the Song brothers and Song Mama by the way: "They fled from the south, and I heard that the south started fighting again, and many people died!" Alas~ My mother saw that they were pitiful, so she invited them to come here to help wash the dishes for a day, hoping that they could also have a full meal. ”
Song Rumu, who has been in this world for nearly seven years, is hard not to be shocked.
In her previous life, she lived in the most peaceful twenty-first century, although she knew that there was a war somewhere in this life, but because she had been living in a small town in Fuyang, far away from the war, and was deliberately protected by Song Han and Song Mama on weekdays, Song Rumu even figured it out from the book after being literate.
War? The book says that "Taizu created a century-old prosperous foundation, the four seas surrendered, and the people of the world lived and worked in peace and contentment", so inertia made Song Rumu always think that war was very far away from her, but today's mother and daughter who fled made her realize that the war was around her.
