Chapter 56: What is the so-called?
The silent woman and the child with big eyes turned around silently and followed Yue Zheng towards Chen Xian and the others at the door.
When he and Chen Xian passed by, he heard the scholar in the Chinese robe next to him grinning: "What to go!" β
"Chen Xian!" Song Jinfeng raised his eyebrows and shouted, "You don't meddle with things!" β
Chen Xian raised his eyebrows, put his hand on Yue Zheng's shoulder nonchalantly, and said with a smile: "It's noon, I'll ask Liu Sen to go to Hui Shiju to buy a few vegetables in a while, and we'll gather on the second floor!" β
Yue Zheng was stunned, he looked at Chen Xian in amazement, and then looked back at Song Jinfeng, who was full of anger, and was speechless.
Song Jinfeng was furious, raised his hand and pointed at Chen Xian and said, "What do you mean!" β
"Hey!" Chen Xian raised his eyebrows and said, "Could it be that you plan to turn the rich rice prince in the capital and this-" Speaking of this, he raised his hand and pointed at Su Xin beside him and said, "The son of the Kochi Mansion family is turned away?" β
Su Xinzheng was pointed out by him as a deer, but he just rolled his eyes, but he didn't speak.
"You...... Chen Xian, you are deliberately trying to oppose me, right? Song Jinfeng was stunned by his words, and a pair of phoenix eyes swept around the faces of Su Xinqi and Mi Yun, she knew that Mi Yun's family was rich, as for this sturdy man, could he really be the son of the Kochi Mansion?
"How can you say that!" Chen Xian pretended to be innocent and said: "I brought the son of the Kochi family and the son of Mi to consume it together!" β
After that, he patted Yue Zheng, who was still stunned beside him, on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "This brother and I hit it off at first sight, so we invited their family to have a light meal together, Mi Gongzi, you are from the capital, do you think I did it wrong?" β
Mi Yu had been looking at it before, and he didn't know that this was Chen Xian patting his uncle's ass, but when he saw him lifting himself out as a shield, he had to shake his head with a wry smile, and said, "What Brother Chen said is reasonable." β
"Humph!" Song Jinfeng snorted coldly, and watched several people walk up to the private room on the second floor with different expressions, and the anger in his heart was hard to dissipate - can't Chen Xian see this, it is clear that this Yue Zheng's family is poor and ran over to join his sister who is an oiran, old lady, I am kind enough to help people, this kid is still in opposition to himself!
There were no guests at noon in Huancai Pavilion, all the private rooms were empty at the moment, Chen Xian picked the best west room, and ordered Yang Sen to go to Huishiju to buy vegetables, Fang just slapped his butt on the chair, and said with a smile: "Sit casually, you're welcome!" β
Huancailou as one of the four green buildings in Hangzhou City, the decoration in the room is elegant and luxurious, the tables and chairs and screens are all made of fine mahogany, even the drinking utensils are beautifully carved porcelain, the house is burning with the fragrant charcoal of osmanthus at this time, the incense is smoky, if there are a few more charming people sitting in that shyness, it is not to drink and already make people drunk a little.
Yue Zheng looked a little restrained, hesitated for a few seconds before sitting down with a red face, while his wife was even more nervous, and actually pulled the boy behind the screen.
When Chen Xian and Mi Yu all sat down at the table, Yue Zheng sat down on the chair in a restrained manner, he looked at the three people in front of him, and hesitated to say to Chen Xian: "You are Chen Xingzhi, I know you ......"
"Oh?" Chen Xian was stunned, this person has heard of me a long time ago?
Yue Zheng seemed to relax a little, and slowly opened the conversation: "When I entered the city today, I passed by Fang City, and I heard many passers-by say that you are the first talent in Hangzhou, Wenqu Xing is down to earth, and you are ...... with my sister."
"Flutter!" Chen Xian couldn't hold back his laughter, interrupted Yue Zheng's words, and said with a smile: "The first talent, Wenqu Xing, everything is fake, I and Xiao Hai are in love, and it's true that the two are happy!" β
Yue Zheng was interrupted by him, and he didn't know how to speak, but Mi Yun interjected and said: "Brother Chen is arrogant, and now the whole of Hangzhou doesn't know that Jin Wensheng was shocked by your words yesterday, and his face was full of tears. β
Chen Xian pursed his lips, chose to ignore Mi Zheng's compliment, and immediately picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea for Yue Zheng, pushed it in front of him, and said, "I don't know why my uncle came to Hangzhou this time?" β
Chen Xian had already acquiesced in his heart that Lu Xiaochai was going to marry into his family, and at this moment, he casually shouted out the title of "eldest brother", and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong at all.
"Alas......" Yue Zheng sighed leisurely, and he didn't even have any objection to Chen Xian's title, he said in his heart that his idea was really a bit excessive, he sold his sister to Qinglou for a few taels of silver back then, and now he is in a sudden disaster, and he would even think of going to her for help.
Chen Xian saw that Yue Zheng wanted to speak and stopped, so he smiled: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." β
"Actually......" Yue Zheng was silent for a long time, and just made up his mind to tell his cheap brother-in-law about the difficulty, but there was a knock on the door.
"Childe, the food you said has been bought!" Liu Sen walked in with four five-layer food boxes twisted with both hands, fortunately he was young and strong, if he was his father Liu Changgen to twist it, I am afraid he would really have to suffer a crime.
"Hmm." Chen Xian responded, then stood up and helped Liu Sen put the dishes on the table one by one, Yue Zheng was stunned for a second, and quickly stood up to help.
Chen Xian has always been a person who never gets tired of eating, and now he is to entertain his future uncle, so naturally he can't make it too simple, the round table for ten people is full, there are mouth-watering sauce beef, there is steaming West Lake vinegar fish, and there is also the rock sugar soft-shelled turtle that means "dominance", Lin Lin has more than ten dishes on the table, which suddenly makes people's appetite move.
Yue Zheng's son seemed to smell the fragrance, and he ran out no longer shyly, staring directly at the table full of dishes with a pair of black and white eyes.
"This kid looks pretty smart, what's it called?" Chen Xian smiled and walked over and reached out to rub the boy's head, who was obviously a little nervous and took a step back to look at Chen Xian at a loss.
"Yue Yue!" The boy rolled his eyes and replied crisply.
"Oh! Xiao Yueyue! Chen Xian smiled uncontrollably, and then reached out to rub the other party's head, and said, "Xiao Yueyue, call your brother-in-law quicklyβphew, call your uncle!" β
"Hahaha-" Su Xinqi finally couldn't hold back his laughter, he laughed like this, it was actually a buzzing voice, where was the elegance that he had pretended to be before, which suddenly exposed the rough surname of this guy.
"Ahem-" Chen Xian coughed twice, Su Xinzhi was forced by himself to wear a scholarly jacket that matched the weather today, he was born with a good appearance, and he shaved off his beard, and he actually looked a little white-faced scholar, who knew that his original form would be revealed when he smiled now.
"Uncle......" Xiao Yueyue raised his head and called out a little shyly, which made Chen Xian's heart bloom, and immediately took out his purse from his arms, took out a silver ingot weighing two or two, stuffed it into Xiao Tong's hand, and grinned: "Eh, this is a meeting gift from my uncle!" β
"How did this happen!" Yue Zheng hurriedly stood up and reached out to pull the ingot of silver in his son's hand.
Chen Xian waved his hand and smiled: "A little heart, if you don't accept it, you won't give me face as a brother-in-law!" β
The two excused themselves for a long time before they sat down at the dinner table, and Chen Xian called the woman who had been timid and silent a few times, but the latter never dared to sit at the table.
Chen Xian finally gave up, the ideology of male superiority and inferiority of women in this era has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and the "Daughter Sutra" prevailing in the Ming Dynasty "Don't be frivolous and laughing, don't be angry and fight." The body is crooked and the feet are slanted and the dignity is damaged, and the appearance of the head is bad. It is even more indecent to directly list the woman's appearance.
Bizarrely, this concept is more popular in the more remote and impoverished places, perhaps because when Emperor Taizong was martyred, the bold and bold lady of the Xuguo Mansion made a feminist example for those women from famous families, just as Yu Zixiao, the daughter of Yu Qian, who is knowledgeable and courteous, often travels with her father, and chats with Chen Xian about some elegant things such as poetry and songs on Ziyang Mountain.
Knowing that he would not be able to change his sister-in-law's mind for a while, Chen Xian simply stopped forcing it, he stuffed a piece of West Lake vinegar fish into his mouth, took another sip of wine, and said with a smile: "Uncle, now you can tell me why you came to Hangzhou." β
"Alas......" The black, thin and shriveled man put down the chopsticks in his hand and sighed leisurely.
