Chapter 42: Jinyu Drinks
As autumn progresses, the weather gradually cools. It was nearly dusk, sitting under the carved window, Jinyu slowly embroidered the wedding dress one by one. She silently recited two lines of poetry in her heart: "There are no colorful phoenix wings, and the heart is clear." I don't remember where I saw two lines of poetry, but they write people's minds so fascinatingly. If two people can really have such a tacit understanding, how good would it be? It's just that the person he is about to marry will have such a spirit with him? She couldn't help but fall into deep thought. It's November, and the Chinese New Year is not far away. After the New Year, the wedding date is approaching. The sisters around them walked and married, and now only themselves and their youngest sister Shenfang are left in the family. Huixin doesn't know what the situation is in the palace now, and Shen Rong has still not heard from her since she brought a letter from the palace a month ago. I don't know if she can adapt to the life in the mansion. And thinking of herself, Jinyu's eyebrows couldn't help frowning a little. That Zhang Gongzi, what remains in his mind is already a blurry image. Ever since Panlong Mountain had met in a hurry, Jinyu had never inquired about him again. One is embarrassed, the other is not dare. She was afraid that hearing any bad news would disturb her already uneasy state of mind.
"Sister, what are you thinking?" A crisp voice rang in my ears. But it's Shen Fang. Since Shen Rong got married, the Hu family asked Shen Fang to go to her every day to learn how to be a housekeeper. The knot in the little girl's heart slowly untied, and she was much more cheerful than before. Now I often come over to chat with Jinyu about family life and do needlework. Jinyu is naturally happy to see this change in her, and every time she sees her, she will treat her well and laugh with her. Now when I heard Shen Fang coming, I hurriedly looked up, but saw that the little girl was dressed in a light color, with a moon-white short jacket, a light green pleated skirt, and a bright smile, and she had completely lost her previous sick and weak breath. "It's a little cold outside today, why don't you put on a cloak?" Jinyu blamed her. Shen Fang smiled and said, "It's only a few steps to my sister's place, where is it frozen?" This is the new dress I just made, sister, what do you think? Jinyu nodded and praised: "Yes, yes, the idea is exquisite, the cut is fit, and my sister's mind is really clever." Shen Fang said happily: "I knew you would like it, this dress is the most popular style this year!" The last time I went out with you, I liked it at first sight at the ready-to-wear store. When I came back, I cut two of my bodies in the same way. Mine I did first, I can show you the effect, yours is not done yet, when it is done, I will send it to you! Unlike Shen Rong's obsession with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Shen Fang has a different preference for female workers and floral art. Before, she was weak and had limited things to do. And Master Gao is strict in dressing, so the sisters rarely work clothing. Since Shen Rong got married, Master Gao has changed his previous ban and no longer cares about the dress of his daughters, as long as he is not dignified. So Shen Fang and Jinyu also used their brains in dressing.
However, if the clothing pattern changes slightly, Shen Fang can turn decay into magic. This point was also appreciated by Hu. And Jinyu's wedding dress, Shen Fang also helped her come up with a lot of ideas. Seeing the unfinished needlework in Jinyu's hand, Shen Fang smiled and said, "Is my sister reluctant to get married?" After doing it for so many days, why is it still the same? When Jinyu saw her teasing herself, she also teased her: "Yes, I'm leaving, and you're the only one left in the family." My sister is afraid that you will be lonely and lonely. But I think you seem to be in a hurry to get married than me, and there are still two years left in the divorce period, and the wedding dress has been prepared early. Shen Fang, who said in one sentence, blushed with shame: "Sister, you are bad!" You know that this is prepared by my mother, and you still laugh at me like this! "Jinyu's heart is not good. Why did he talk about Shen Fang's heart disease all of a sudden? Because of the marriage of the Bai family, Shen Fang did not toss less. Hurriedly smiled and said: "Yes, yes, it's not good for me!" Sister, don't be angry! Today, I'm going to prepare a small host, and I invite you to drink the plum wine I made last year, and how about the venison that my eldest brother gave me? Shen Fang turned her anger into joy, and Jinyu turned her head and told the girls to prepare.
For a while, the little girls had already set up tables and chairs under the command of Green Smoke and Red Apricot. Jinyu asked the girl to go back to the Hu family, and the two sisters ate in the yard without going over to eat. took Shen Fang and sat down in the warm pavilion together. The two sisters sat opposite each other, and there were a few dishes of side dishes and a few plates of fruit on the table, and a black silver plum blossom self-poured pot, which also looked very rich. "Sister, I've always wanted to talk to you like this, drink and drink, it feels really good! It's a pity that I've been in poor health before, and I've been confined to the garden all along. Now that I'm getting better, the days of our sisters together are numbered. Shen Fang was a little sad. Seeing her frowning, Jinyu hurriedly said, "It's a good thing that you're in good health." Our sisters are not separated from each other in life and death. Even if they are all married in the future, there will always be a time to return to peace! Come on, life must be happy, let's don't care about those who don't, taste my plum wine first, how do you feel? As he spoke, he poured a glass for Shen Fang, and poured wine in front of him. The two looked at each other and smiled, about to finish their glasses. But I heard someone laughing outside: "There is wine and meat, and the two sisters don't call me, but they are very good at enjoying it?" But it was Kang's who came in with a big belly and was helped in by two girls.
"Sister-in-law, why are you here? Hurry up and take a seat! The two hurriedly got up and gave up their seats. Jinyu helped Kang Shi to sit down on the chair and said with a smile: "It's rare that I'm here today and I've gathered a room full of people." Sister-in-law, I haven't come to see you lately, are you okay? Is my little nephew well-behaved? As he spoke, he touched Kang's stomach by the way. Kang said with a smile: "I also said, I won't come to sit there for so many days, and I will patronize your wedding dress." I was about to get sick, and I just said hello to my mother, and when I passed by you, I heard that your house was bustling, so I came in to have a look. Who knew you were eating something good! As he spoke, he glanced at the table, saw the amber light in the cup in front of Shen Fang, and the dark fragrance was full, and said, "Ah, is it the Plum Bar?" I haven't drunk it in a long time, and I'm thinking about taking a sip! As he spoke, he picked up the wine jug, filled the small cup in front of him with wine, and took a sip to drink it dry: "Not bad, good, sour and sweet, and very moist." Jinyu, I'm going to do it a little more! "Kang's is in the north, and his personality has always been bold, and he has always been quite good at wine. It's just that because she is pregnant, she was forced by Jin Xiu not to drink alcohol, and she has been detained for several months. Now I smell the aroma of wine, see the wine, where can I still bear it. Jinyu couldn't help laughing, deliberately peeked out the window, and suddenly said, "Big brother, why are you here?" Kang hurriedly put down the wine cup and turned his head, but where could he see a figure? Jinyu and Shenfang laughed in unison. "Okay, you girl, even your sister-in-law dares to tease. Be careful to meet a powerful minister, and submit your governance to the letter! Kang was a little embarrassed, but he still didn't forget to joke about Jinyu. Jinyu's face flushed slightly, and she smiled: "Good sister-in-law, just let me go." This plum wine is a fruit wine, just a little drunk. So the third sister can drink it, and you can drink it too. Don't worry, we won't tell Big Brother! When she said the last sentence, Shen Fang couldn't help but laugh again. Kang Shi couldn't help laughing, drank the second cup of wine, and then said, "For the sake of not being at home for a few days, I'll spare you!" Jinyu picked up the wine glass and said, "Don't worry about it so much, anyway, we have a rare party today, let's drink it!" As he spoke, he drained the glass of wine. Shen Fang also picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. "Good sister, this wine tastes really good!" Shen Fang tasted sake for the first time in her life, and it was new and interesting. She felt the taste sweet when she drank it, and she couldn't help but drink three glasses in a row. When it came to the fourth cup, the green branch on the side couldn't help but come up and persuade: "My good lady, no matter how delicious this wine is, you might as well eat something to fill your stomach, don't get drunk when you turn around." Your body is just right to toss. Shen Fang smiled: "You talk a lot." It's rare for me to drink once, so let me have a good drink! Lu Zhi frowned, and said to Jinyu with a bitter face: "Second Miss, you can help me persuade Miss." If there's anything wrong with the young lady, we can't afford it. Jinyu smiled: "Okay, okay, I know, it's hard for you to be loyal." The three girls are drinking with me, and I will take care of it for you if something happens. Jinxiu, who was standing beside Kang's, said: "Good young lady, and our master, you can also bear it!" If the young master loses his temper, none of us will dare to enter the door. Jinyu smiled: "One or two of you are pleading for mercy, are you sincere and don't let me be the east?" Green smoke, red apricots, take these rapping little hooves out, you guys get together at the table, and give me a good drink! "Green smoke and red apricots are actually very lively usually, I can't wait for Jinyu's voice, pull Shen Fang and the people who serve around Kang's family out, and also set up a small table outside, and a few people laugh and eat and drink.
Shen Fang was shallow, and after a few drinks, he felt a little dizzy, so he gave up and only ate some side dishes to accompany him. Kang drank a few more glasses, and was finally persuaded by Jinyu. Among the three people, it was Jinyu who drank the most. However, if you drink too much wine, the three of you will talk more. "Sister-in-law, you and your eldest brother are really good. You have known each other since childhood, and your relationship is so good, your sister-in-law's blessing is really good! Jinyu finally said what was in her heart. When I was about to get married, they all said that getting married was a happy event, but I felt very scared. Although that Zhang Gongzi had a one-sided relationship, he didn't know the details in the end. And he heard from Huixin that there was still that Jasmine cousin living in his house. It is said that he and his cousin have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and now that I am married, I don't know what it is! Through the wine, Jinyu finally spoke out the troubles and troubles in her heart. Hearing her say this, Kang Shi hurriedly comforted her: "Huixin's mouth doesn't have a door, what are you listening to her do?" If someone's cousin and cousin are affectionate, how can the Zhang family come to our house to propose? Jinyu, don't think about it. I heard your eldest brother say that Zhang Zizan is still good! Shen Fang also said on the side: "Sister, don't worry." Didn't the eldest sister marry after being met by King Rui? Didn't she write back and say it was good? With your sister, you are a character, and that Zhang Gongzi will definitely treat you well! Jinyu nodded when she heard this, and suddenly smiled: "You are so young, you are so old when you speak." That white boy seems to have taken a fancy to you at a glance. I don't think you will have to worry about it in the future. Shen Fang's face flushed with shame: "Sister, why do you talk like this?" People are kind enough to comfort you! Jinyu smiled: "What's this, you have already been engaged." I'm not messing around. Speaking of which, that white boy is really very caring. Every time I send a gift to the third sister, I will ask someone to comfort the third sister. Looks like you've sent a lot of medicinal herbs, right? If you don't get married, you can be so careful, and it will definitely not be bad in the future. Kang Shi also nodded on the side and said, "I once met my mother, who looks like a person who doesn't speak, and is very gentle and polite when he speaks and acts. Not bad indeed! Shen Fang was in a hurry, stomped her feet and said, "Sister-in-law, why are you following my sister to make fun of me?" Kang smiled: "Sister, I'm not joking with you." That white boy is really good. Although he came from a humble background, he felt that he was down-to-earth, polite and courteous. My mother was very satisfied at first sight. In fact, the mother-in-law is most worried about you, you can find such a good son-in-law, but the mother-in-law said that she is a lot more relieved! Shen Fang's face was about to turn into a red cloth. That girl doesn't have a spring? Since marrying the Bai family, the Bai family has often sent some medicinal materials that they have dug from the mountains, saying that they are for Shen Fang to regulate his body. Every time Shen Fang drank the medicine, she would think of that panicked morning, the stocky young man. Indeed, if it weren't for Bai Yingtian's own mistakes, if Shen Rong's marriage was ruined, I don't know how Master Gao would punish himself. Or, now you can't even save your life, right? Although it was only a one-sided relationship, Shen Fang's heart was already deeply grateful to Bai Yingtian. Now listening to Kang's praise of Bai Yingtian, my heart feels even sweeter.
After Kang's praise of Bai Yingtian, he said to Jinyu: "Actually, Zhang Zizan is also very good. You didn't know each other that day, so he helped us find Huixin's cousin, who is also a warm-hearted person! Jinyu smiled: "Don't be kind and small, Zhang Zizan is also a gentleman!" Okay, come on, let's have another drink! Kang and Shen Fang saw that her face was flushed, obviously she was already overwhelmed. couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, there's finally a drunk!" Tonight is a great one! The three of them talked and laughed together for a while. Seeing that it was not early, Jinyu was already drunk, and Shen Fang couldn't support it. Kang's ordered the girls to withdraw from the table, served the sobering soup again, and arranged for Jinyu and Shenfang to rest together, before helping the girls go back.
