Chapter 27: Aggressive
In the afternoon of the same day, the county lord of Chonghua County was a little unwell because of a cold, so he did not return to Anfu.
The county lord of Fenghua sent someone to Anfu to send a letter, and for this reason, An's also sent his eldest son An Changsong to Ninglan Villa.
An Changsong saw that the eldest sister was just slightly cold, and there was no big problem, so he went back to report to An's, and An's was relieved.
After another three days, Zhan Shixiu, who was looked forward to day and night by Anfu, finally arrived in Jiangzhou City, and that night, Anfu set up a sumptuous banquet to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Zhan Shixiu and others.
Since entering the Anfu, the An family took Qin's hand, and the two sisters had endless words, until the maid came to pass it, the banquet had been prepared, and the old man had already entered the table, so he held Qin with one hand and Zhan Hongjiao with the other, talking and laughing, and walked towards the banquet pavilion.
Didn't see the county lord of Chonghua for the first time, Qin expressed great regret, An looked at Zhan Hongjiao and smiled: "Alas, my daughter, a monkey who loves to move, and the four younger brothers behind her are all like her brother, but she is like a younger sister, and people are worried everywhere." When I was a child, I was married, I became a mother, and I was still so crazy, no, a few days ago, I was playing with Fenghua's child in Xishan, but I caught a cold, and now, I still live with Fenghua. ”
After speaking, he pinched Zhan Hongjiao's little face, "It's still a blessing for my sister to raise such a cute, well-behaved, and demure daughter, I really want to change with my sister." Would you like to, Jiao'er? ”
"It's a blessing to be born in my aunt's house. In the next life, I will be reincarnated in my aunt's house. ”
Zhan Hongjiao said playfully.
In just two sentences, it flattered An's. It didn't make my mother sad. Because in the eyes of the people of the Great Shang Dynasty, except for husband and wife, everything else is only one lifetime.
An and Qin looked at each other and laughed, An held Zhan Hongjiao tightly in his arms, and he couldn't love it.
Several people smiled and entered the table, and the two sides saluted each other.
Ambide smiled: "Today is a family banquet, so you don't have to be formal." Our two families haven't seen each other for five or six years, and it is really emotional to meet again today. Come. Have a drink first! Meet again after a long absence! ”
Everyone raised their glasses.
Put down your glass. An sighed, "Yes, although two years ago, my cousin-in-law went to Shou'an. Shou'an and Jiangzhou are not separated by thousands of miles. But it was due to the will of the emperor back then. Last year, I went to Hua'an Temple to make a vow, and when I passed by your Zhan Mansion, I didn't dare to go in to see you...... Then. My heart......"
"Look at you, what are you talking about? In addition to making people sad. Ambide interrupted.
Qin wiped away tears.
In that year, Zhan Shixiu offended many powerful people in Beijing, and was jointly participated, and the first emperor was furious and demoted Zhan Shixiu to Shou'an to make a county order, not only that, but the first emperor's words revealed that relatives and friends were not allowed to approach. That's why An's crossed the door and didn't dare to say it.
"yes, it's all a thing of the past." Zhan Shixiu raised his glass and saluted the Ambide couple.
"It's just that it's old things, don't mention it." Qin smiled and diverted the topic, "However, time flies so fast, I think that at the beginning, when I met Chang Nan in Yanjing, he was only five years old, but this moment, he has grown into a big child." ”
"Aunt Xue, I'm eleven this year." An Changnan smiled, and turned to Zhan Hongjiao opposite, "What does my sister like to eat?" ”
An Shi smiled at Qin's family: "This is also a naughty one, I have always wanted to be an elder brother, but the whole family belongs to him." Now, Jiao'er is here, but his wish has come true! ”
Everyone laughed and had a great time.
An Shi looked at Zhan Qinghui, who had been smiling lightly, and suddenly changed the topic, "I haven't seen you for a few years, Qing'er has become more and more handsome, and look, she has become a beautiful man." ”
"Not really." An Changsong continued: "Cousin Qing sat down here and compared the four of us. ”
The crowd laughed again.
Ambiid coughed lightly, "Boy, what does it look like?" ”
The four brothers immediately put away their smiling faces and bowed their heads at their father.
It was Zhan Qinghui who smiled lightly: "Now, in front of the four brothers, I can only handle my appearance." ”
The four brothers hurriedly waved their hands, and they all said that Zhan Qinghui was too modest.
An's was busy instructing everyone to eat.
Speaking of which, Zhan Qinghui and An Changsong have no blood relationship, they are just the stepsons of the Qin family, and they are not familiar with each other, and they are not very happy to hear Zhan Qinghui misinterpret his father's meaning like this.
But this humble remark makes people unable to find faults.
It was inevitable that there would be some embarrassment during the banquet. Suddenly, the maid came to report, saying that the county lord of Chonghua and the county lord of Fenghua were coming, and everyone in panic got up to greet them.
As soon as he walked out of the banquet pavilion, the county lord of Chonghua and the county lord of Fenghua were side by side, and they had already entered the garden with a smile.
"Fenghua County Lord, it's been a long time!" Ahn laughed.
"Mrs. An, Lord An." The county lord of Fenghua has seen them one by one.
The other party returns the salute.
Zhan Shixiu, Qin Shi and others hurriedly greeted the lord of Fenghua County and the lord of Chonghua County, and there were many people and many courtesies, and it took a while to return the salute just by seeing the salute.
In the garden at night, the lights were dim, and when Zhan Shixiu and the lord of Chonghua County saw the ceremony, she didn't see it clearly, and when she returned to the banquet pavilion, everyone sat down one after another, and she raised her head again and looked at Zhan Qinghui carefully.
At the first glance, her whole heart was pounding.
I haven't seen him for a few years, and he is even more beautiful.
Zhan Qinghui hated this kind of look of being looked at, and couldn't help but glance coldly at the county lord of Chonghua, who was angry, and suddenly said sharply: "I heard that cousin Qing had arrived in Jiangzhou many days ago, I don't know if this is true?" ”
Qin's face turned red, what she was most afraid of was mentioning this. When she arrived in Jiangzhou, she heard that Zhan Qinghui had been in Jiangzhou for more than a month and had never visited Anfu, and she was very unhappy.
But after Zhan Shixiu heard about it, he didn't say anything, and the Qin family was angry for a while, and he couldn't figure it out for a while.
Now, the county lord of Chonghua is so aggressive, she can't say anything other than laughing dryly and reluctantly explaining to An that the child is young and ignorant.
Zhan Qinghui nodded lightly, with a calm face, "Yes, I arrived in Jiangzhou a month ago. In other words, the scenery of Jiangzhou is really good, and the snacks are delicious. ”
The county lord of Chonghua bit his thin lips, his phoenix eyes were always angry, he had time to see the scenery and taste snacks, but he didn't have time to come to Anfu to visit!
Ambide and the others were also displeased, and looked at Zhan Shixiu one after another.
Long before this, Zhan Qinghui had confessed everything to Zhan Shixiu, including his arrival in Jiangzhou three months ago, and his cooperation with Qiu's restaurants and rice fields, all of which he confessed to his father.
At that time, Zhan Shixiu had mixed five flavors in his abdomen, but when he saw his son's eyes that he firmly wanted to break into something, he swallowed the words that came to his mouth again.
It is not possible for his son to follow the official career, and he doesn't want his son to rely on the grace of his ancestors and be an idler.
I can only engage in business.
Moreover, as soon as Zhan Shixiu heard that his son was cooperating with the Qiu family, most of his heart suddenly let go.
"Ah~ I have already arrived in Jiangzhou a month ago, I have time to see the scenery, I have time to taste snacks, cousin Qing is really leisurely!"
"The scenery of Jiangzhou is beautiful, and the beauty makes my cousin forget to visit relatives and friends."
"I don't know if my cousin really forgot, or if it's always been like this, go his own way!"
The county lord of Chonghua said one sentence after another, and his tone became more and more sharp.
An Shi shouted, "Chonghua! ”
Although, Zhan Qinghui did not do it right, although Zhan Qinghui had an arrogant attitude, but after all, everyone is a relative, and they tore their faces because of this incident, what good is it for their family?
Look at the Qin family again, he was embarrassed to bow his head and say nothing, An couldn't help but get angry, this Chonghua is really open-mouthed! (To be continued......)
