Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Closed Door
Just when they decided to go to the restaurant to drink, Lu Li suddenly found that he was followed by a person, perhaps because he was too angry just now, he stood at the gate of the Lu family and lingered for a long time before leaving.
Lu Li was waiting for An Xiabai to chase him out, but unfortunately she didn't.
Only then did he get angry and came to Zhang Xiaodong and Liu Fengfeng to drink, and the people who followed him were not worried about chasing Tang Zongzong who came over to inspect the situation.
"Why did you come out with me?" Lu Li couldn't help but think of An Xiabai when he looked at him.
"Drink wine." Tang Zongzong replied very calmly, "By the way, come over and see if there is anything going on on your side." ”
Lu Li was a little expectant in his heart, but he didn't dare to think: "Did Mrs. ask you to come with me to see my situation?" She still cares about me, doesn't she? ”
In order to rub the wine, Tang Zongzong didn't dare to tell the truth, and only confessed halfway: "It wasn't Madame who asked me to chase after me, it was I who saw that she was worried about the general's life, so I chased it out to see." ”
It turned out that the person who angered Lu Li was An Xiabai, Liu Fengfeng and Zhang Xiaodong glanced at each other, and they didn't dare to ask at all.
Drinking is a lively thing, although they don't have a good impression of Tang Zongzong, a person who once cheated him of his money, but for the sake of An Xiabai's face, they are still not too embarrassed, in line with the psychology that fat water does not flow into outsiders' fields, even if they drink, they patronize the restaurant opened by An Xiabai.
Obviously, the person who was in a bad mood was Lu Li, but the person who drank the most was Zhang Xiaodong.
I don't know what he saw, so he suddenly took Lu Li's hand and complained: "Brother Lu, I really envy you, there are beautiful and virtuous ladies, and two cute big fat boys, they are not like me at all, they don't even have a home, and no one cares about my life in this world." ”
Liu Fengfeng looked at him pitiful, patted his head and said, "Don't you still have a brother?" ”
"That's different," Zhang Xiaodong sighed, "No matter how close a brother is, he is not a brother, alas, when I say this, I can't help but think of my brother who is outcast, I don't know if he is still alive now." ”
Tang Zongzong held a jar of wine, raised his eyebrows and said, "Haven't you found your lost relatives yet?" ”
He still remembers the first time they met, they begged for their own hexagrams, one brother was missing, and the other brother was missing, so it happened to be a couple, wouldn't it be good?
Tang Zongzong thought with a wine burp.
"How can it be so easy!" Zhang Xiaodong turned his head and glared at him, "This busy sea of people, looking for someone, and how difficult it is to find someone I haven't seen for many years, where can I find it if I want to?" ”
Tang Zongzong sneered and said, "You also know the vast sea of people? Since there are so many people, doesn't it mean that meeting is also a rare thing? ”
He glanced at Zhang Xiaodong and Liu Fengfeng, and proposed: "You are so fateful, it is better to become brothers of the opposite sex." ”
Zhang Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head to look at Liu Fengfeng.
It just so happened that the other party was also looking at him: "I think he is right." ”
It is also a rare thing for tens of millions of people to be fortunate enough to meet.
"Then I might as well be brothers?" Zhang Xiaodong was a little excited.
When Liu Fengfeng smiled and nodded, he turned his head to pull the hand of Lu Li, who was drinking with his head bored: "Brother Lu, can you help us testify?" ”
Lu Li naturally agreed, he personally poured wine for Liu Fengfeng and Zhang Xiaodong, and then watched them drink the wine in the cup heroically, and then slammed the glass as an oath.
The shopkeeper who happened to be passing by the box heard the impassioned sound of smashing glasses, and subconsciously knocked on the door to ask if there was anything in the door.
Tang Zongzong was about to open his mouth to send him away, but was gently held down by Lu Li.
"I just have something I want to ask him, so I'll go out first."
The shopkeeper also recognized Lu Li's face, when An Xiabai and Mo Simin came to the restaurant to inspect together, Lu Li suddenly appeared and took An Xiabai away, and he is still deeply impressed: "Is there anything wrong with the guests?" ”
Lu Li hesitated for a moment, then took out a gold ingot from his sleeve and stuffed it into his hand: "I want to inquire about something." ”
The shopkeeper was flattered, Lu Li had a special relationship with the boss, he didn't dare to hide it on this point, and he didn't need to bribe at all: "Guest, you should take back the silver taels, I really don't dare to accept the villain, if you have something to ask directly, the villain will definitely know everything." ”
Lu Li refused to take it back, but asked him: "Did your boss bring a young boy earlier today?" ”
Anxia Bai didn't come to inspect the restaurant many times, so every time he came to the boss, he was impressed.
It seems that the boss's private affairs shouldn't be said casually, but the relationship between the person in front of him and An Xiabai seems to be very unusual?
Lu Li saw his entanglement at a glance, and said frankly: "You tell me everything you know, your boss is my wife." ”
The shopkeeper was stunned at first, and was secretly surprised in his heart, An Xiabai looked so young and beautiful, he always thought she was a young lady from a certain family, but he didn't expect to be married to a wife. He was a little more respectful to Lu Li: "Earlier today, the boss did bring a son to the building, she said that he was the third boss of the restaurant, and he could be found to deal with something in the future, and then took the son around the restaurant." ”
When Lu Li asked about the prince's reaction when An Xiabai fainted, the shopkeeper only said that it was thanks to the prince: "If he hadn't found out in time and ordered someone to ask for a doctor, maybe the boss would have to suffer a lot." ”
When Lu Li returned to the box with a complicated mood, Zhang Xiaodong and Liu Fengfeng were still drinking.
Tang Zongzong held the wine jar and looked at him with a smile on his face, obviously when he went out to talk to the shopkeeper of the restaurant, there was no third person present at all, but Lu Li had the illusion that everything was known to him.
"You went home drunk and weren't very emotionally stable." Tang Zongzong.
"Hmm." Lu Li knew that this was one of the reasons.
Tang Zongzong obviously saw that he was in a bad mood, but he still smiled and leaned up: "Spit out the truth after drinking, the last emotion that should appear between husband and wife is suspicion, but you have doubts about her." ”
Lu Li was dumbfounded.
In the second half of the night, he was drunk holding the wine jar, as if he was going to soak himself in the wine, and when the restaurant was closed, it was Zhang Xiaodong and Liu Fengfeng who worked together to help him out.
"It seems that Brother Lu is really sad this time." It was the first time Zhang Xiaodong saw Lu Li drunk.
Tang Zongzong followed behind with the wine jar in his arms, and sneered: "It's all self-inflicted." ”
"Don't let you say that about Brother Lu!" glared at him, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, "Hey, you cheated money, don't you live in Brother Lu's house, do you know why he is in a bad mood today, what is going on with him and his sister-in-law?" ”
As soon as Zhang Xiaodong asked, Liu Fengfeng's gossip heart also came out: "Yes, yes, why did he quarrel with his sister-in-law?" ”
"Tsk," Tang Zongzong said mysteriously, "guess for yourself." ”
If it weren't for the fact that they were still holding Lu Li in their hands, they would have to rush over and beat Tang Zongzong up.
"Haven't you come back yet?" An Xiabai took the hot water that Zhou poured for herself, and her face became more and more pale and haggard under the light.
Lu Li didn't return overnight, thinking of his angry appearance and the smell of wine on his body, the original anger gradually turned into uneasiness.
The capital is not as good as the county seat, what if he goes out to drink and gets drunk, what if he gets drunk and helps the beauty on the side of the road to help him home?
The more An Xiabai thought about it, the more worried she became, she couldn't lie down on the bed at all, and after her body recovered some strength to get out of bed and walk around, she walked outside and stood by the gate, if it weren't for the fact that the door was not opened well in the middle of the night, the door of the Lu family would not have been closed at all.
Zhou was worried about her body and advised her to go back and rest first.
"You better go back first, if you get home, I'll notify you as soon as possible, your health is not good, what if you stand in the cold wind at night, what if you catch a cold?" Zhou worried.
What she said made sense, but An Xiabai refused to leave: "I want to wait for him to come back." ”
An Xiabai thought about it carefully just now, she was indeed a little wrong, as a married woman, she really shouldn't have more contact with men outside, Lu Li lost her temper after meeting him, mainly because he drank a little wine and his brain was a little unconscious, she really shouldn't have bothered with him at that time, "I want to talk to him when he comes back." ”
The starting point is good, but you have to pay attention to your body.
Zhou still wanted to persuade, but before he could speak, he heard footsteps outside the door, as well as the drunken voice of Lu Li.
Zhang Xiaodong asked him: "Brother Lu, what's the matter with you and your sister-in-law?" ”
Lu Li's voice was not quite right, as soon as he heard it, he knew that he had drunk too much wine, and it was a little vague, An Xiabai could hear the grievances in his words: "Your sister-in-law doesn't want me anymore, she is getting along with others." ”
An Xiabai didn't know whether to be angry or laugh for a while, and he almost couldn't breathe in one breath.
Originally, the door was just hidden, and the people outside could push it open, and it was she who walked quickly to the door and closed it.
There was a bang, and all the sounds outside were blown up.
"Lu Li, do you really dare to say, can't you see what I think about you? If I were the kind of person who hates the poor and loves the rich, when I started a restaurant business in the county, I should have knocked out your children and eloped with other people! ”
was so suspicious by the person next to him, An Xiabai was really aggrieved, turned his head and ran in the direction of the yard, without even giving a look back.
Zhang Xiaodong was outside the door, and slammed the door anxiously: "Sister-in-law, listen to my explanation, Brother Lu is drunk and talking nonsense, don't take it to heart!" ”
It's a pity that An Xiabai has already walked away, and he didn't hear the sound outside the door at all.
The drunken Lu Li seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing, slammed on the door, and called An Xiabai's name vaguely: "Madam, I know it's wrong, you listen to my explanation!" ”
"I'll just say he's doing it himself." Tang Zongzong stood next to him, his appearance was silent, but his mood was extremely bad, if the people inside made up their minds not to open the door, wouldn't he have to sleep on the street with him?
"Mother, should we open the door?" Lu Liu'er didn't know when she walked to the door, listening to the sound of the door calling outside, her mood was extremely complicated.
Zhou's face is ugly, although Lu Li is her son, but An Xiabai is even more popular with her, she is a daughter-in-law who gave birth to two children, Lu Li is so suspicious of her?
"Let him sober up while the wind blows outside, and then open the door later."
