Chapter 68: The head of the house is unhappy
Ning Qiang enters Cao's Mansion, chickens fly and dogs jump!
It's not that Ning Qiang jumped out of the box, but Zhu Houzhao, who had just reached puberty, was full of male hormones, and after moving to the room next to Ning Qiang, he was like a wild donkey that had lost his stiffness, smiling for Bo Jiaren, and did not hesitate to jump up and down, which made Cao Wei have a headache and could not be at peace for a moment.
In recent days, Xu Pengju and Zhu Houzhao have often hooked shoulders and backs, in the name of exchanging experiences, Cao Wei was shocked, for fear that the two of them would make some kind of moths, and they were just about to get close to the auditor and were bombarded away by Xu Pengju, but they disliked Cao Wei's broken mouth that often leaked, couldn't keep secrets, and couldn't keep surprises.
"After so many days of exploration, coupled with what is written in the book, I finally understand a truth......" Xu Peng said mysteriously.
Zhu Houzhao's face was full of excitement: "What is the truth?" β
"Countless sages have overcome obstacles and left many experiences and lessons for those who come after, but the water in the love field is still too deep and too deep, if you think about it carefully, if everyone uses a method, wouldn't it be too clichΓ©!"
Zhu Houzhao was like pounding garlic, and felt that what Xu Pengju said was very reasonable.
"So we need to find another way, if we want to keep the heart of the beautiful woman, we must first keep her stomach!"
"Keep the stomach? Sounds amazing! Zhu Houzhao took out a notebook from his arms and hurriedly wrote it down, only to see that the small book was densely packed and organized, if Zhu Houzhao could work so hard in his studies, I am afraid that the masters would be overjoyed and cry, and die without regrets.
Zhu Houzhao was halfway through writing, when he suddenly stopped writing and said in confusion: "Which book are you reading?" β
"Golden Bottle...... You don't care which book it is, that's not the point, you don't have to memorize it. β
Zhu Houzhao nodded as if he didn't understand, Xu Pengju was triumphant at this time, don't look at his usual Sven Wen, a serious look, but in fact, he is sullen, so that Zhu Houzhao can be so obedient, enough for him to brag for a lifetime.
"But how do you keep Ning Qiang's stomach?" Zhu Houzhao frowned.
"What are you best at?"
"Cockfighting, bird walking, tree ......"
Up the tree? Why don't you go to heaven? Xu Pengju looked at Zhu Houzhao with a disgusted face and said, "I'm asking you what kind of food you are best at!" β
Zhu Houzhao scratched his head: "I haven't been to the imperial dining room since I was so old......"
Xu Pengju looked at Zhu Houzhao speechlessly, the exchange scene fell into silence for a while, and after a while, Xu Pengju slapped his thigh and said: "You can make a flower chicken, we all watched it when Cao Wei made a flower chicken, the method is simple, but it is very delicious." β
Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up: "Brother Pengju, you are really experienced, the younger brother admires it, no wonder Tianjing kissed you at the beginning of the day......
Xu Pengju hurriedly covered Zhu Houzhao's mouth, looked around like a thief, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that there was no one, and said in a low voice: "How do you know?" β
"Hmm......" Zhu Houzhao broke Xu Pengju's hand, took a deep breath, squeezed his eyebrows at Xu Pengju and said, "I hid under the bed that day......"
Xu Pengju said angrily: "So you also saw it when I kissed Jing Chu?" β
"You shouted so loudly, I'm afraid the entire Cao Mansion knows about it now!" After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, he hurriedly ran away, leaving Xu Pengju to jump like thunder.
Cao Wei said that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and Zhu Houzhao deeply believes this.
At this time, in the backyard of Cao's Mansion, Sweet Potato and Xia Jingchu taught Ning Qiang to play mahjong, plus Liu Jin, just to get together at the table, as for Cao Wei, he would have been excluded a long time ago, otherwise they would have joined forces as husband and wife, and the others would have no way to live.
Half an hour later, Wang Sheng hurriedly shouted from outside the house: "Master, Zhu Gongzi burned down the front yard of our house." β
The three girls were shocked, Liu Jin screamed, threw down the mahjong in his hand and ran to the front yard, Cao Wei hid his face and sighed: "I knew that my family was going to suffer, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly......"
In the front yard of Cao's Mansion, Zhu Houzhao looked at the black bump in front of him with a disappointed face, and kept muttering: "How can this be ......?"
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
At the end of the year, the atmosphere in Nanjing City suddenly became warmer, and there were more things in Caofu, and the servants with relatives were all sent home for the New Year, and Wang Sheng also bought the New Year's goods in Caofu early.
Thousands of households always replace the new peach with the old one. Sticking couplets and eating family banquets is an indispensable ritual during the New Year, Cao's family has a big business, many houses, but Cao Wei does not let others help, he takes sweet potatoes to the family to paste the Spring Festival couplets, from early morning to noon before it can be finished.
Cao Wei finally pasted a pair of Spring Festival couplets at the gate of Cao's mansion and looked at the red and black letters on both sides of the gate blankly, his thoughts drifted farther and farther, and he had been in this world for half a year. In his previous life, his gray-haired old father called him to paste Spring Festival couplets together, but he didn't go home because he was busy, and where is his hometown now? Where do you see gray hair?
Nowadays, sticking Spring Festival couplets is more like a kind of nostalgia and a kind of repentance.
Sweet potato felt Cao Wei's loneliness, obviously the two were close at hand, but she felt that they were thousands of miles apart, she hurriedly grabbed Cao Wei's hand, and her heart was more steady, feeling the coldness of Cao Wei's palm, turning her head to look, only to find that her husband had burst into tears......
If the head of the family is not happy, there will be no happiness in the Cao Mansion, and even Zhu Houzhao, who is usually the most heartless, feels a depressing atmosphere.
At noon, Cao Wei made a table of food, and brought two jars of wine, and after everyone was served, he stood up, raised a glass of wine, and said: "I have no relatives in this world, many times I am at a loss for life, at a loss, I just feel that I am a wandering soul, from now on, you are my Cao Wei's relatives." β
After Cao Wei finished speaking, he drank the wine, Wang Sheng trembled his lips a few times, and finally did not speak, Liu Jin did not have his usual cringe, sat up straight, Xu Pengju and Zhu Houzhao glanced at each other, and they could see the worry in each other's eyes, and the sweet potato held her husband's hand, but found that it was not warm.
Xu Peng raised his wine glass and said, "Cao Wei, you don't have a brother, I am your brother, otherwise you should have broken your leg when you smashed my teahouse." β
Zhu Houzhao echoed: "Yes, I don't have a brother, my father only has one son, and you two will be my brother in the future!" β
"Okay, we will be brothers in the future!" Cao Wei laughed heartily, raised his wine glass and drank with the two.
Half an hour later, the three of them were drunk, Zhu Houzhao lay on the table, motionless, Cao Wei forced Xu Pengju to pay the house money after the New Year, Xu Pengju stuffed the jade pendant he carried with him into Cao Wei's hand, saying that it was an ancestral jade pendant, which was priceless, Cao Wei gladly accepted, Xu Pengju wanted to take off the clothes on his body and give them to Cao Wei, everyone tried their best to dissuade him, so he gave up.
Then everyone sent them back to the room, only then did they breathe a sigh of relief, drunk and asked for money, this is the Cao Wei they knew, although they don't know what depression he has, but at this time it is obviously over.
In the bedroom, Sweet Potato wiped Cao Wei's body, covered him with the quilt, and then held his hand tightly, looking at his sleeping husband, his eyes were full of tenderness......
