Chapter 220, Mingjing Relief

Changsheng chuckled and touched Jinshu's head. This child is so understanding, this is exactly what he wants, and he quickly nodded in a low voice: "Agreed, we will eat quickly, and when we are full, we will go back to reading books and telling stories!" ”

Jin Shu nodded again and again, the two looked at each other and smiled because they had a common little secret, Zijun on the side also heard it, and he looked at Changsheng pitifully: "Auntie, can you take me with you?" Because of you, I sit at this table, otherwise I wouldn't sit with these children, but there is no place for me at the adult table, you see how pitiful I am, Master Cen doesn't want me anymore, I like to listen to Aunt Changsheng's stories the most, let's walk together when I'm full, okay? ”

Changsheng chuckled and nodded, his age is indeed very embarrassing, besides, this is not a big deal, tonight's family banquet, there are more important people and more important things, and no one will pay too much attention to them.

Zijun put his mind at ease. Hurriedly whispered: "After the third round of drinking, the table won't take care of us, let's eat quickly, and when we are full, we will slip away, and let these children make trouble, okay?" ”

Changsheng was secretly surprised that he was delicate and was about to agree, but Zichen, who was sitting opposite, heard it, she seemed to have grasped something, and said loudly: "Dad! Mother! The eldest brother was unfilial and unfilial, regardless of the presence of the elders, and said that after he was full, he asked Miss Zhou to take him and Jinshu away together! ”

Zijun's face turned red, he stood up abruptly and pointed at Zichen and said, "What nonsense are you talking about as a girl?" With elders and distinguished guests present, what kind of system do you shout about? Who is unhonorable and unfilial? I am your brother, you blame me indiscriminately in front of everyone, you really lose the face of my Pei family! ”

Pei Zichen couldn't say anything about her, and after hearing these words, he felt that he had really done something wrong, and seeing that the eldest brother seemed to hate her, he hurriedly burst out in his heart: "I am your sister-in-law, you know how to bully me!" You think I don't know, Xie Jinshu is going to be your daughter-in-law, so you talk to her everywhere, you have no conscience, and you scolded me before you married your daughter-in-law! ”

"Zichen! What are you talking about as a girl? As soon as the words fell, Xie Mingzhu and his wife came over together to reprimand Zichen, and Jinshu said as if she didn't understand: "Aunt Changsheng, I don't want to be Brother Zijun's daughter-in-law, I want to be his sister." I still have to learn the piano with Brother Zijun! As a daughter-in-law, you can't speak! ”

Xie Mingzhu, who had already walked over, was stunned when he heard this, glared at Zichen fiercely, and Mingche also came over when he heard the movement, he looked around and comforted Jinshu, who was pouting: "Shu'er, you were originally the sister of Brother Zijun?" You are still so young, how can your father be willing to let you be someone's little daughter-in-law? You grow up, let's talk about it when you grow up! ”

Xie Mingzhu and his wife quickly glanced at each other, but they didn't know how to justify, Zichen suddenly made it clear that even though Jin Shu was young, he knew the words of resistance, which just gave Ming Che a reason to object, and the matter of the two families getting married was put on hold indefinitely.

Changsheng understood that Ming Che just wanted to take the opportunity to refuse the Xie family's proposal, and he would definitely grasp today's situation, so he only held Jin Shu's hand and signaled her not to panic, and then watched how the situation unfolded quietly.

Xie Mingzhu couldn't get out of the air, so he glared at Zichen fiercely: "You are a lady of the family, haven't the master taught you to eat and be silent?" What's yelling at meals? When I go back, I will think about it, and I will not be allowed to go out of the house in the future, and I will learn how to be a lady! ”

Zichen was severely reprimanded by his mother in front of everyone. I wanted to refute but saw my parents' gloomy faces, as if I realized that I had probably said the wrong thing, and I was ashamed and afraid to cry. Old Madam Xie has seen what is happening here, understands that this marriage cannot be brought up again, and also understands that Mingche is more difficult to control than he seems to be, Zichen willfully said the wrong thing, just to find a better excuse for Mingche to refuse the marriage, that is, Zichen did not say the wrong thing today, he would still find other reasons to refuse this marriage.

She looked at Ming Che, who was full of love for her daughter, with a gloomy face, and had a feeling of being let down by others, but she had to endure it for the sake of the overall situation, seeing Zichen crying hard, she was afraid that it would not look good, the last time the county lord of Anyang was forced away by the Ming and Qing dynasties, but she couldn't wait to see the jokes of the Xie family, and she couldn't wait to seize the handle to rectify the Xie family, but she couldn't let others have a chance, so she asked Ruigu to bring Zichen over to persuade her.

Zijun thought that Mingche had misunderstood him, so he was so anxious that his face turned red, and he hurriedly defended: "Uncle, I didn't say that I would let Sister Jinshu be my daughter-in-law, I only said that after eating, we went to Jinshu Courtyard to listen to Aunt Changsheng tell us stories, it was Zichen who talked nonsense!" ”

Ming Che looked at Zijun, who was flushed, and smiled, he successfully took the opportunity to postpone the marriage proposal indefinitely, and he was in a good mood.

"Zijun, I know that you are a sensible child, and you are also half a child, so it is too wronged for you to sit at the same table with these children. If you don't want to accompany them, when you're full, just retreat with Jinshu, it's all up to you, and there are no outsiders present, it's not rude! ”

Zijun already admired his uncle who was a general, so he hurriedly sighed happily, completely ignoring his parents' ugly faces, and nodded again and again: "Thank you, uncle, I have already eaten, and we will go together when Shu'er is full!" ”

And Jin Shu saw that the scene became chaotic, and she also understood a little about the words of the adult, and saw that Zichen was afraid of being bullied by her again because she was scolded, so she quickly stood up and said coquettishly: "Daddy, I'm also full, I want to go back!" ”

Mingche was about to answer, An Yang walked over with a smile on his face: "Our Jinshu is a quiet lady, of course we don't like such a noisy situation, if Shu'er is tired, go back, I'll go to see you tomorrow, okay?" ”

Jin Shu saw that she was even more uneasy, and she didn't want to stay anymore, so she quickly nodded in response. Turning his head to look at Mingche pleadingly, Mingche nodded: "Go, be careful on the road, don't sleep too late, Daddy will come to see you tomorrow." ”

Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and was about to say goodbye, but Ming Che glanced at her scrutinically, and then said with a soft expression: "Shu'er is still bothering the girl!" I found that the girl has been taking care of Shu'er at night, and she hasn't eaten well, and you have lost a lot of weight compared to when I first saw you in Jinyang, but I can't drag my body for Shu'er. I'll send some snacks later! ”

Except for the child's voice, the scene immediately fell silent, and everyone looked at them. Changsheng was stunned, it seemed that she had a feeling of being pushed into the swamp step by step, she opened her mouth to refute, but she couldn't refute it, because the other party was concerned about her, she wanted to open her mouth to justify, but she couldn't justify, because the other party didn't say a word of rudeness, she wanted to thank her to show her alienation, but she understood that a thank you word was more sympathetic to the two of them, and she knew for the first time what it was like to have a hard mouth.

She just looked at Mingche so straightly, and in the eyes of others, they all looked at each other affectionately, and on the side, the old lady smiled, it turned out that Mingche had other weaknesses besides Jinshu, fortunately, she had always been good to Zhou Changsheng.

The county lord of Anyang's face had turned pale, but Cheng Ziyu breathed a long sigh of relief.

Ming Jing pushed aside Ming Qing, who was in front of him to watch the excitement, strode in front of Changsheng, and smiled as lightly as before: "Look, what I said is right?" The last time I went to Jinyang, I said that Miss Zhou had cleared the reduction in order to take care of Shu'er, and the eldest brother didn't believe it at the time, saying that Miss Zhou's home was in the village, where was there any good food and vegetables, although it was hard to take care of Shu'er, but the Xie family had good soup and good water, where would it be reduced, and he finally believed it tonight, how about it, big brother, didn't I lie to you? But you have to reward Miss Zhou well, birds die for food, people die for money, and the girl next week can take better care of Shu'er in the **** of heavy rewards. ”

After speaking, he took Shu'er and looked at Mingche with a smile but firmly: "Big brother wants to accompany his brother-in-law and sister." If you don't worry about Shu'er, I'll send them back to Jinshu Courtyard, and by the way, I will tell the kitchen to make some supper for Miss Zhou's body, and the snacks will be free! ”

After speaking, he ignored Mingche, and only said to Jin Shu: "Can you walk after eating so much?" Do you want the third uncle to hug you! ”

Jin Shu nodded excitedly, and really didn't like to be watched by so many people, so she let Mingjing pick her up and strode out, Changsheng had already come to her senses, she pretended to be ashamed and said: "Qianli is an official just for food and clothing, in fact, Changsheng is thousands of miles away from home, just to have a bowl of rice to eat, and please don't blame Changsheng for being cheesy!" However, the treatment of the Xie family is already very generous, although it has been reduced due to fatigue, Changsheng does not dare to complain about the hard work, let alone ask for awards, please rest assured that the general will take care of the eldest lady and be worthy of this salary! ”

After speaking, she took Zijun and walked out, as if she had unloaded a thousand catties of burden, yes, she was not related to the Xie family, she took care of Shu'er for the sake of salary, Mingche was just her employer, and there was nothing else to do with it.

The old lady was so angry that her face turned pale, Mingche didn't listen to her arrangement, even the fledgling Mingjing dared to openly go against her will, Xie Mingzhu and his wife saw that Mingche was deflated, and their son was close to Jinshu everywhere, and their mood suddenly improved a lot, Xie Mingzhu chuckled and said: "The children's family is easy to get sleepy, they will go back when they are full, our family has a rare reunion, come and come, such a good wine is only half drunk, continue to continue!" ”

No matter what mood the people present, no one wanted to tear their faces, so they cleaned up their moods and sat down again, holding the wine glass again, and the soft and pleasant sound of silk and bamboo sounded again, which should be in line with the sound of conversation and laughter at the dinner.

Pei Xun took the lead in raising a glass and said with a smile: "I have two sons, only Zichen has a daughter, speaking of which, she swept everyone's sex willfully, and my goddaughter has no way to punish herself!" The eldest brother has not been allowed to return home for many years, and it is not easy for everyone to get together once, so please continue to feast! ”

After speaking, he raised his glass and drank it all. Xie Mingzhu said very tacitly: "Their Pei family teaches their children to be different from my family, saying that their sons should be strictly managed, and their daughters will marry after more than ten years at home, but they are more pampered, so Zichen is willful, Zijun Ziji is sensible, I think Zijun is very good at taking care of his sister, and he is better than Zichen to Jinshu, so Zichen is not happy to talk nonsense, Mingche do you say yes?" ”

Mingche chuckled: "Several children have their own advantages, they are all good, the eldest sister is too partial to her son, you can't be harsh on Zichen after you go back, otherwise my uncle will not follow!" ”
