204. Lunch
Xu Xiaole burst out laughing and said, "I don't care about your family's affairs." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info I'm talking about you and me. An apology has to be accepted by my sister-in-law. ”
Ma Baiguan stiffened his neck and said: "Who said that my family has to apologize!" ”
Xu Xiaole pointed at the child: "I'm not threatening you with the child's illness. You have to be reasonable, you apologize, let's release our suspicions, I can treat my child with peace of mind. If you don't apologize, I'm holding back the fire in my belly, and I definitely can't see a doctor. ”
Ma Baiguan stepped forward and pulled up his daughter-in-law and shouted, "My son doesn't want you to see it!" He said to his daughter-in-law again: "There is a miracle doctor at the temple fair today, and he has a free clinic in Xu Wang Temple, and I don't know where it is better than Xu Xiaolego." Let's go over there! ”
Xu Xiaole thought for a while: Yes, today is the Double Ninth Festival in early September, and there are temple fairs in many places. It's normal for Lang Zhong to come out with a few wandering parties, but how can the divine doctor catch a lot of them?
Xu Xiaole said: "I can't say that there are no masters among the traveling doctors. But you still have more than ten miles to run to Xuwang Temple, isn't it easier to apologize than to run so far? What's more, it was your mother who chewed her tongue behind her back and asked her to apologize too much? ”
Ma Baiguan obviously refused to listen to persuasion, and left with his crying wife.
There was still a line of people lined up outside Xu Xiaole's clinic, so naturally he wouldn't say anything more. He originally thought that the matter was over, but after seeing a few "patients" who were not sick, he prescribed two pairs of "medicines" that were not medicines, and then hung up a sign and invited someone to come back in the afternoon, and it was time for him to have lunch.
Huang Ren, the kid, was about to faint from hunger.
It was the first time that the women saw so many people coming to the family for consultation, and it was also the first time that they saw Xu Xiaole treating people with a serious face. In the past, he just said that Xu Xiaole was very promising, and he could sit in the Suzhou Medical Hall, but this time I really saw it, in addition to being fresh, I also admired it.
Xu Xiaole took Huang Ren to wash his hands and entered the hall. The table was already full of seven dishes and eight bowls, and there were a lot of chicken, duck and fish. Tong Wanqing put the dishes and chopsticks on the table and said, "You two sit down quickly, don't make a mess." ”
Xu Xiaole sat on the main seat with a big grin, but Huang Ren was very uneasy. He heard that the apprentices were at the husband's house, and they had to go to the kitchen with their meals. Now not only do you want him to eat at the table, but you also want him to sit down early, how dare you do this?
Huang Ren stood aside and said respectfully: "Is there anything I can do?" ”
Tong Wanqing didn't answer him, so she saw Hu Meiniang, Lotus Leaf, Fengxiang, and Mei Qing coming out from behind, and each sat in the seat they were used to on weekdays, waiting for the meal to start. Tong Wanqing said: "Look, there's nothing to do, just sit down and eat." ”
Huang Ren was still a little embarrassed, and when Tong Wanqing was also seated, he sat on the last empty seat, but he didn't dare to move his chopsticks first. Of course, even if he moved his chopsticks immediately, he wouldn't be as fast as Xu Xiaole. Xu Xiaole had already sandwiched a chicken leg and gnawed it happily.
Hu Meiniang smiled and said: "I heard that you are in Suzhou brocade clothes and jade food, and people invite you to go to the restaurant every day, why do you go home like a flower child who has been hungry for ten days and has not eaten?" ”
Xu Xiaole said while eating: "It tastes good at home!" This chicken leg is crispy but not rotten, it melts in the mouth, it seems that my sister-in-law's cooking skills have really been perfected! ”
Tong Wanqing said angrily: "This is the chicken made by the old Song family next door, Mei Qing went to buy it in the morning." ”
Feng Xiang smiled and said, "Look, Mr. Xu is on the horse's feet." ”
Xu Xiaole smiled awkwardly and suddenly asked, "What about the peach blossoms?" ”
The others didn't speak, and Mei Qing said, "Peach Blossom is serving Lao Anren today and eating upstairs." ”
Xu Xiaole sighed and stopped talking. He knew that all the women didn't like peach blossoms, so he didn't dare to tell the story of peach blossoms playing with people at the back door to arrange flowers. Vaguely, he felt that this matter was not a trivial matter, and if he said it openly, he was afraid that it would make the family jump.
As soon as Xu Xiaole thought of the dog, Ah Fu bumped Xu Xiaole's leg and begged him to throw a bone with his tongue. He was most afraid of seeing the round black eyes now, and as soon as his heart softened, he secretly threw the half-eaten chicken leg to Ah Fu. Then he peeked at his sister-in-law with a weak heart, hoping that his sister-in-law didn't find out.
Tong Wanqing gave Xu Xiaole a roll of his eyes. Anyway, it's not a waste for Ah Fu to eat it, so he didn't say anything about Xiaole.
Huang Ren saw that Mr. Xiao Xu's family had neither the rule of eating without saying anything, nor the distinction between master and servant, so he relaxed a lot and dared to use chopsticks to pick up vegetables.
Xu Xiaole enjoyed this feeling of eating with many beauties, and only felt that the bones in his body were lighter. As soon as he was half-full, he began to tell jokes and amuse, and deliberately asked: "Sister-in-law, sisters, have you ever asked a painter to draw a photo?" ”
Tong Wanqing glared at him, and knew that it was not safe for him to make some jokes at a meal. Hu Meiniang said: "I used to paint it myself at home, but I never asked someone else to paint it." ”
Xu Xiaole smiled and said, "I passed by a photo studio a few days ago, and I didn't have any business at all. His neighbors persuaded him to hang up the photos of his husband and wife, so that people could know what business their family was doing and what the standard was. I didn't think about it at the time, but when I came back two days later, I saw that the shopkeeper had really hung up the photo of the husband and wife.
"At this time, an old man came, and the shopkeeper greeted him and called him 'Taishan'. It turned out to be his father-in-law. The man pointed to the woman in the painting and asked, 'Who is this woman?' The shopkeeper said, 'This is Love!' The old man looked at it for a long time, and then asked, 'Then why did she sit with a strange man?' ’”
After Xu Xiaole finished speaking, he laughed first, laughing so much that he couldn't even hold the chopsticks, and he fell on the table and laughed again.
Huang Ren was going to laugh a lot, but as soon as he laughed twice, he saw that the sisters at the same table were all looking at Xu Xiaole like fools. The smile on his face was definitely not because the joke was funny, it was completely because Xu Xiaole himself was funny.
Huang Ren was drenched in cold sweat, and said secretly in his heart: I don't know if there is a cure for embarrassment in the medicine book, I am really restless and uncomfortable now.
Tong Wanqing finally couldn't help it, turned the chopsticks and hit the back of Xu Xiaole's head, and said, "Okay, okay, it's enough!" It's nothing more than ridiculing people for their lack of craftsmanship, and the photos they draw don't look like they. It's worth laughing at! ”
Xu Xiaole laughed hoarsely, his anger was uneven, and he convulsed: "Ha, his father-in-law, haha, I didn't recognize it, haha, I didn't recognize it......"
Hu Meiniang also smiled: "I think you are the funniest joke." ”
Xu Xiaole was lying on the table, his shoulders shrugged, and he still couldn't stop.
Tong Wanqing turned to Huang Ren: "Is this considered a disease?" ”
Huang Ren didn't know how to answer, he just felt that his embarrassment was absolutely terminal.
Photojournalism is not something that only existed after the advent of cameras and Japan, and there were portrait portraits in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Xu Xiaole's joke can be seen in "The Legend of the Laughing Forest".
