Chapter 42: Do You Have a Daughter?
In the hall of Chengfu, everyone sat separately.
In this era, it was popular among the aristocracy to sit separately.
However, to Li Tai's surprise, he was accompanied not only by Cheng Yanjin's sons, but also by Cheng Yanjin's wife and daughters.
Doesn't it mean that women in ancient times had a low status and could not participate in the main seat?
Today it doesn't seem to be as low as I imagined!
However, Li Tai forgot that it was the Tang Dynasty now, and the Tang Dynasty was an era of female emperors, if the status of women was so low as that of later generations, could there still be an empress?
The status of Datang women is still quite high.
Cheng Biting Jin and Hua Dajiao sat on the first place, and down from the left, were Li Tai, Changsun Lian, Du He, and Fang Yiai.
Sitting on the other side were Cheng Chusi, Cheng Chuliang, Cheng Chubi and others.
Sitting cross-legged always feels a little weird.
Xin Qi didn't take off his boots, otherwise he would have smelled the smell of his feet.
Looking at the dishes on the table, Li Tai didn't have any appetite at all.
The goose meat is greasy and full of spices, and for Lee Tae, it's a dark dish.
The sheep are killed, cleaned, and then the goose and various spices are put into the belly of the sheep, and then the sheep is roasted on the fire.
The sheep is roasted black, and after it has been burned, the goose in the belly of the sheep is cooked.
Li Tai was puzzled by this.
Is it worth wasting a sheep to eat this big goose?
However, this way of eating is quite popular among the aristocracy.
What's more, rich people are extravagant and corrupt!
"Qingque, I heard that you drink very well, in fact, I also believe it, but you scholars have a good saying, hearing is false, seeing is believing, let me Lao Cheng see the amount of Qingque's wine today." Cheng Yanjin said expectantly.
A hint of cunning flashed in a pair of eyes, and it quickly disappeared without a trace.
"Sure enough." Li Tai sighed secretly.
You don't have to guess to know that Cheng Biting Jin is coming for revenge.
Bullied the little one, and the old one couldn't help but stand up.
"Father-in-law, if you want to see and understand, you have no problem." Li Tai said with a smile: "But, does my father-in-law still have a daughter?" ”
"Qingque, don't worry, my Cheng family's daughters still have a few." Hua Dajia stood up proudly, led a wine vat in his hand, and said: "Even if I don't have one, I can have one with Lao Cheng Zaisheng and accompany you!" ”
"And you, the son of the eldest grandson family, if you can drink a jar of wine, I will give you the daughter of the Cheng family, and the two of you, whoever can drink a jar of wine, the daughter of the Cheng family will go with whom!" Hua Dajia said quite loudly.
It seems that the people of the Cheng family are not only bold with Cheng biting gold, but also with big feet.
Couple, this is definitely a couple!
It's not that a family doesn't enter the door, it's definitely a fateful marriage!
Li Tai felt that he had come to the Juyi Hall in Wagangzhai.
Cheng Biting Jin is the village, Hua Dajia is the owner of the village, and Cheng Chuhei is the owner of the three villages......
Changsun Jian and the others looked at the jar of wine in each other's hands, and the whole person was in a quandary.
I really can't drink it!
Moreover, they didn't want to marry the daughter of the Cheng family at all.
The eldest grandson is the son of the eldest grandson Wuji, how can he marry the daughter of the Cheng family? Not a son-in-law, let alone a concubine.
As for Du He and Fang Yiai, they have already made a marriage with the royal family.
"What my father-in-law and mother-in-law said, but is it true?" Li Tai laughed and said, "Qingque has no other skills, this drink, I am really not afraid of anyone." ”
Are you worried that your daughter won't be able to get married? Then I'll sit down and take it all!
"Come on, serve wine to His Royal Highness King Yue!" Cheng Yanjin laughed and said, "Quickly send the old man's treasured three pulps." ”
"Whoa!"
When the people outside heard the call, they hurriedly walked in with a wine vat in their arms, and then placed it in front of Li Tai.
Looking at the vat of wine, Li Tai's bold words just now suddenly disappeared without a trace.
What's more, you have at least fifty pounds of wine in this jar, right?
Even if you can drink alcohol, you can't drink fifty pounds!
Not to mention wine, even if it's fifty catties of water, you can't drink it all in a day.
"What's the matter?" Cheng Yanjin showed a hint of banter on his face, and said, "Didn't you say that you weren't afraid of anyone?" As long as you drink all the wine in this jar, I will marry you the golden ring again!" ”
"Father-in-law, isn't this wine vat a little bigger?" Li Tai asked weakly.
"It's not big, what can be called a cylinder? It's not big, how can it show that you have a high alcohol consumption? The smile on Cheng Yanjin's face became even stronger.
"Qingque, please!"
Yinhuan smiled slightly, raised his glass, and drank it all.
"Green Sparrow, please!"
Cheng Tiehuan was not unwilling, raised the wine glass in his hand, and then drank it all.
"Brother Qingque, please."
Cheng Yuhuan finished drinking the wine in his hand with a smile.
"This ...... This ......" Li Tai's face was full of embarrassment, and he knew that he would not be so full of words.
"Or even this, that? It's a man, so drink it. Cheng bit the golden urn and said angrily: "My Cheng family still has a seven-year-old Cheng Jinhuan!" ”
"Old guy, you forced me, fight!" Li Tai was very unhappy, opened the vat of wine, and a rich aroma of wine spread.
Then, he picked up a gourd scoop next to him, scooped up a scoop, and drank it.
"Damn, this alcohol is very angry!" Li Tai understood, it seems that this old Cheng family has been planning for a long time.
There is a conspiracy, this is definitely a conspiracy!
Could it be that the three girls showed such arrogance just to make me disgusted with them? And then get out of the marriage yourself?
However, if this is the case, why did he marry the royal family in the first place? And also pressed all three daughters?
"Qingque, when are you going to take the jade ring, the iron ring, and the silver ring back? Sooner or later, it's your person who crossed the palace, so it's better to pick it up early. Hua Dajia asked casually: "Our old Cheng family is poor, the poor can't even afford to eat, you see that at this banquet, there is not a grain of rice." ”
"Yes, yes, take it over as soon as possible and stay in the Cheng family, it will only waste our Cheng family's food money, as the so-called half-grown girl eats the poor father, you better take it back quickly." Cheng Yanjin said.
Hearing the words of the two, Li Tai snorted, and the wine he had just drunk squirted out of his nose again, which was really uncomfortable.
Damn, can you old Cheng family not be so realistic?
Li Tai really felt strange, could it be that this family was so direct, rude and simple?
It's no wonder that this family can live so long.
In such a family, no emperor will feel threatened, let alone overpowered, but will find it interesting.
Well, it's interesting.
