Chapter 19: At the end of the feast, the people disperse back to Kyoto
The second day was sunny.
On the big tree in the backyard of the food building, magpies are chirping, and the kitchen is busy.
In the lobby, more than a dozen tables are neatly placed, and the people sitting around the table drink tea, eat snacks, chatter, and are very lively.
The shopkeeper came and went, serving tea and water, and was very busy.
Chun Zhi and the shopkeeper were responsible for receiving guests from Lujia Village, and they were so busy that they were dizzy.
The main owners, Zhong Xuanlan and Wang Xuannian, were sitting by the window in the private room on the second floor, leisurely drinking tea, watching the people coming and going on the street.
Wang Xuannian looked at Zhong Xuanlan several times repeatedly, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.
Seeing this, Zhong Xuanlan waited for a long time and didn't see him speak, frowned slightly, and asked, "Little guy, what's the matter with you?" ”
Wang Xuannian exhaled, his little face was slightly red, and he asked hesitantly, "I, when will we get married?" ”
Zhong Xuanlan said: "April 20th, what do you think? ”
Wang Xuannian vaguely felt that she didn't seem to care about the marriage at all, and a trace of unhappiness flashed in her heart, and it was just a transaction between them.
His face was not obvious, and he said, "You just decide." ”
Zhong Xuanlan nodded.
Wang Xuannian had been with him for so long, and for the first time, he wanted to understand this person and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Zhong Xuanlan curled the corners of his lips and smiled, and quipped: "Huh? Husband, we're about to get married, and you still don't know who I am? ”
Wang Xuannian said hesitantly: "You, you haven't told me yet, who are you?" ”
Zhong Xuanlan thought for a while, as if it was like this, and said: "My surname is Zhong Xuanlan, you have a father you have seen, he likes to eat, drink and have fun, cause trouble, there is a brother and I are twins, we look similar, and our temperament follows my father." ”
Wang Xuannian nodded, "You,"
"Master, the hour has come." The winter solstice is reported outside.
Zhong Xuanlan looked at Wang Xuannian and motioned for him to continue.
Wang Xuannian shook his head.
Seeing this, Zhong Xuanlan stretched out his right hand to him and said, "Let's go." ”
Wang Xuannian said: "Okay." He put his hand on her right hand.
Zhong Xuanlan led Wang Xuannian to a private room on the second floor under the leadership of the winter solstice.
Inside sat the village chief of the Lu family, the head of the Lu family, the patriarch of the Wang family, and the six clan elders, and the two greeted everyone.
After some greetings and greetings, Zhong Xuanlan held a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Elders, thank you for coming to the restaurant today, you must eat and drink well today, and tell Xiao Er what you need." Xuanlan hereby toasts all the elders and thank you for taking care of your husband. ”
Wang Xuannian greeted them with a stiff smile on the corner of his mouth, turned his head slightly to look at Zhong Xuanlan, and found that her temperament had changed, and it was easy for people to let down their guard and get close to her.
Although she and them are people of two worlds, she can talk a few words about their topic.
What kind of person is she? At this moment, he had an urge to get to know her, could they add affection to each other beyond the contract?
Zhong Xuanlan led him out of the private room and went to another place.
In this private room there is his mother, brother, and little sister.
Wang Xuan hadn't seen them for more than a few years, and he was very happy in his heart, but he didn't know what to say when he looked at them.
Zhong Xuanlan raised his wine glass to toast them, let them eat and drink well, and said a few polite words to them.
When he was about to leave, he lowered his head and looked down at Wang Xuannian and asked, "Do you want to stay?" ”
Wang Xuannian listened, looked up at his mother, brother and sister, no one asked him, he only cared about pleasing the people around him, suppressed the loss in his heart, pursed his mouth, and shook his head.
Zhong Xuanlan led Wang Xuannian to walk around and toast among the guests, and he survived all the time, and it was already an hour later when he returned to the private room.
Zhong Xuanlan immediately instructed the winter solstice: "Prepare water." ”
"Yes."
After the winter solstice left, Zhong Xuanlan sat on the chair by the window, supported his head with his left hand, closed his eyes, pinched his eyebrows with his right hand, and rubbed his temples.
Seeing this, Wang Xuannian walked up to her and stretched out his hand to massage her.
Zhong Xuanlan opened his eyes in surprise, glanced at him, closed his eyes, and enjoyed.
After a while, Zhong Xuanlan asked, "We will go back to Kyoto City tomorrow, and your family will go back to Zhuangzi when we meet, do you want to go back to stay with them for one night?" ”
Wang Xuannian had this intention, but thinking of their attitude, he said, "As long as they are doing well." ”
Zhong Xuanlan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded slightly.
The feast was dispersed on this day.
Wang Xuannian did not go to see his family away.
Wang, they didn't mention that they wanted to see Wang Xuannian.
On the second day, Zhong Xuanlan and his party left Qiyun Town, and the group of four people walked slowly towards Kyoto City......
Wang Xuan began his new life, which was the beginning of a life that changed the fate of his life.
Years later, he is still grateful to the god of luck for his favor and for allowing him to have a happy and warm home.
After staying in the county seat for five days, Zhong Xuanlan not only feasted Li Anming, thanked him for his help, but also checked the Zhong family's shop.
After that, the group stopped and looked around to check the shop, and it was not until the afternoon of April 18 that the four returned to Kyoto City.
Zhong Xuanlan instructed Chun Zhi to take Wang Xuannian to live in the Zhong family's courtyard, and she returned to the Zhong Mansion.
Zhong Tinghao and his son enthusiastically invited Zhong Xuanlan into the study of Youlan Courtyard, and after throwing a bunch of work to her, the father and son ran away quickly.
Soon, Zhong You walked in with more than a dozen ledgers, and when he saw Zhong Xuanlan's black face, he put down the ledger and ran away.
As soon as Zhong You left, Xia Zhi came in and reported what happened when she was not at home.
Zhong Tinghao stayed in the mansion separately and handled the marriage for her, but he threw most of the marriage to Xia Zhi, and he only dealt with the guests who came to inquire about the news.
Zhong Xuanli was away from every day, and he was carelessly dealing with business matters, making a mess of the number of account books.
Zhong You was not at ease, and sent someone to send Zhong Xuanli to check the account books or things he had dealt with every day.
During this period, Zhong Xuanli escaped twice, but was caught.
Zhong Xuanlan listened to Xia Zhi's report, thought of the chaotic account book a few days ago, and his face became even darker.
So, Zhong Xuanli was locked up in the firewood room that night and stayed for a day.
Zhong Tinghao gloated at Zhong Xuanli on the side.
As a result, he was forced to take over the marriage on the second day.
The reason is that Xia Zhi went to the Zhong family's courtyard to tell Wang Xuannian about the marriage process, and the rest of the people were very busy and couldn't spare their hands to handle the marriage.
What can he do, after all, this is a major event in his daughter's life, so he has to resign himself to work.
Here, Zhong Tinghao was busy in the mansion to conduct a final inventory of the wedding banquet.
Zhong Xuanli sat on the treetops and leisurely ate snacks, while now gloating at this scene.
Zhong Tinghao looked up and saw him, he was furious, he wanted to beat someone, Zhong Xuan left you to wait for Lao Tzu, out of sight and out of mind, turned around and left.
And Zhong Xuanlan has been working on things until April 20......
