Chapter 391: Family Banquet

Zhao Zizhong first raised his glass: "Everyone, we are gathered together today to celebrate that my brother Cui Daoshu and Na Zhe have descendants, come on, everyone drink this cup!" ”

The crowd shouted in unison: "Drink to win!" ”

Then everyone drank the wine in their glasses.

"Ahh Monk Taiqin let out a long breath, "Master Cui Shi, today's wine is particularly mellow, is it?" ”

Cui Daoshu said with a smile: "What the master said is right, this wine is the first batch of spirits made by my Cui family, and it has been stored in the cellar for seven years, and the wine tastes good." If it weren't for the joy today, and everyone gathered together, I would be reluctant to take it out, hahaha! ”

Liang Daguan shook his head and said: "This kind of good wine, you should wait for Brother Cao and Brother Wang to come, and then drink it together!" ”

Cao Yongxian heard Liang Daguan mention his father, so he hurriedly stood up.

Cui Daoshu pulled Cao Yongxian to sit down, and then said, "Liang Daguan, there is still some wine here, and when Mr. Cao and Mr. Wang come, we can still drink it." ”

Shu Ya asked: "Brother Cui, if possible, can you not part with your love and prepare a jar of such good wine for Han Shangshu, the mentor of this official?" Teacher, his old man is also a lover of wine. ”

Gao Yanei also made fun: "Cui Gongzi, and me." My father is also a good drinker, can you prepare a jar for me too? ”

Cui Daoshu was in a very comfortable mood today, and he waved his hand arrogantly:

"No problem, everyone here today will give a jar."

Everyone applauded, and Du Dalei happily patted Cui Daoshu's shoulder: "Old Seven, you are so interesting, my brothers didn't hurt you in vain." ”

Na Zhe pouted: "Why do you hurt Lao Qi?" Why haven't I seen it? ”

An Dalang also coaxed: "Yes, a certain family doesn't know about this matter." ”

Zhao Zi saw that a few people were about to start bickering again, so he hurriedly came out to stop it: "Okay, let's say a few words." Let's get moving. Come on, come, you're welcome, hurry up and eat. It won't taste good when it's cold for a while. ”

So everyone began to eat in large chunks during the banquet, and the chefs of the Cui family are under the * of a few foodies, and now their cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and many famous dishes in later generations have been made decently.

After eating and drinking for a while, Liang Daguan asked curiously: "Cui boy, why did Qi Jiuniang suddenly get pregnant?" Tell me what's going on, right? ”

"Yes, yes, hurry up and recruit from the truth."

"Be lenient in confession, and strict in resisting."

"If you don't say it, I'll give you the 'Ten Tortures of the Manchu Dynasty'."

Du Dalei, Na Zhe, and Gao Yanei followed suit.

Everyone else was also burning with gossip and looked at Cui Daoshu happily.

Cui Daoshu saw that he couldn't explain it today, so he had to say helplessly:

"Actually, it's nothing, I don't know what's going on, Jiuniang is pregnant inexplicably. We haven't done anything special. ”

Du Dalei asked with a smile: "Old Seven, have you taken the medicine?" ”

"No? I didn't take any medicine. ”

Tai Chin interjected: "It's all a matter of course, it's meant to be there, and it's there when the time comes, there's nothing strange about it." ”

Na Zhe suddenly shouted, "Wow! Monk, I remember when you were in Jinling, you told us that the problem of the seventh child's heir was going to fall on Qi Jiuniang. Did you see something at the time? ”

Everyone looked at Taiqin curiously, this wine and meat monk was still drinking and eating meat as if no one was around, and he didn't pay attention to Na Zhe.

An Dalang asked, "Monk, is there such a thing?" Do you really see that? ”

Tai Qinyun nodded lightly, wiped the grease on the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, and then said: "There is such a thing, Qi Jiuniang is a woman with a deep fortune, and the Cui family will bring unexpected benefits to the Cui family if she accepts her, which is not unusual." ”

Everyone looked at each other, it turned out that Qi Jiuniang, a woman with a big grin, was not a simple character.

Gao Yanai looked at Taiqin with hope and asked, "Master, can you also show this Yanei?" What kind of woman will I meet in the future? ”

Tai Qin glanced at him, shook his head and said, "The Sprinkle family will not waste their efforts, you kid is merry by nature, and whoever follows you will not have a good life." You'd better save it. ”

Gao Yanei said stupidly: "What's wrong with me? Didn't you love to go in and out of the Qinglou Chu Pavilion before? But after Ben Yanai came to Qishan Island, he has been keeping himself clean? Monk, don't you look down on this yamen? You don't have to bury people like this, right? ”

The brothers saw that Gao Yanei had even learned the Northeast dialect of 'burying and tied' under the influence of Na Zhe, and they couldn't help laughing.

Tai Qin was a little puzzled: "What does it mean to buy and bury it?" ”

Na Zhe had no choice but to explain: "It's burying, the local dialect of the Northland, which means irony." ”

Taiqin nodded: "You kid is not a good bird, if you don't come to Qishan Island, I think you will soon be in a big disaster." Don't go back to Jinling, the place of right and wrong, in the future, otherwise your whole family will be implicated by you. ”

Gao Yanei shrank his neck in fright: "Master, am I really that weak?" Will it implicate the people in the family? ”

Tai Qin snorted: "That's all for the Sprinkle family, believe it or not." ”

Du Dalei persuaded Gao Yanei and said: "Xiao Gao, you should believe the monk's words, he is not one of those godheads who talk about it. You should stay here in the future, lest you be killed!" After a while, we will find you a mother-in-law with a big ass, and then let you get married, and then you will live a 'peasant woman, a mountain spring, and a little field.' 'Good day, hahaha! ”

Everyone laughed, and Wei Hongye said, "Xiao Gao, don't listen to Da Lei nonsense. But you're here and we're all very welcome. You're very talented in football, and if you hone it a little bit more in the future, you'll become a star for us here. ”

Na Zhe followed and coaxed: "That's it, you don't see whose son he is, his father is the famous 'Brother Qiu'." ”

Shu Ya was very puzzled: "That sir, what do you say is Gao Shilang?" ”

Except for An Dalang, the brothers all knew Gao Yu's allusions, and everyone couldn't help laughing.

Gao Yanei also felt a little inexplicable: "What are you laughing at?" What's so ridiculous about my father? ”

Zhao Zizhong hurriedly came out to play the round: "Xiao Gao, your father's name is very close to the name of a star we knew before, that's why they joked with you, don't you mind." ”

The other brothers followed suit: "yes, yes, we don't mean anything else, it's just a joke." ”

Gao Yanei had no choice but to give up, and everyone continued to push the cup and change the lamp.

Upstairs, in the living room on the second floor, a table of wine was also set up.

Mrs. Cui took a group of female dependents and tasted the dishes in a gentle manner.

Shen sat next to the old lady, serving diligently, and kept serving her vegetables.

Old Madam Cui nodded: "You don't have to take care of me, eat more by yourself, it's a little distressing to see how thin you are." ”

Shen smiled reluctantly: "Mother, the slave family is not hungry, you can eat more." ”

Old Madam Cui sighed: "Hey, child, I know that you are very bitter in your heart, since you married into our Cui family, you have not conceived a child." You've been haunted by the fact that you're not doing your duty as a wife. But this is fate, it is God's arrangement, and you can't do anything about it. Now that Qi Jiuniang is pregnant with a child, you are even more worried, and you secretly wash your face with tears every day, I see it in my eyes, you don't have to be like this. ”

Shen's eyes were red, and he choked up and couldn't speak. The women in the banquet all put down their chopsticks, and no one knew how to persuade Shen.

Old Madam Cui touched Shen's hair lovingly, "Child, if you listen to the old man's words, Qi Jiuniang will give birth to an heir to the Cui family in the future, and she will not be able to shake your status as a wife." You are still my son's lady with knotted hair, which no one can change, and the old body can guarantee this. ”

Qi Jiuniang also stood up and said: "Sister, what my mother said is very right, the slave family can swear that in the future, they will never have different intentions and compete with you for the position of the main wife." If the slave family does this, there will be no children in the future*. ”

The women in the banquet couldn't help but laugh when they heard Qi Jiuniang's vulgar words.

Old Madam Cui glared at Qi Jiuniang, so frightened that Qi Jiuniang immediately hid behind Jiang Wuniang.

When Shen heard the words of Old Madam Cui and Qi Jiuniang, he felt a little better.

Fu Hongyu said softly: "Sister Shen, little sister has a suggestion, you can consider it. ”

Shen nodded: "Fu Niangzi, please speak, I will listen to you." ”

Fu Hongyu smiled and said: "Sister Shen, there is a great shortage of teachers in the school now, you are everyone's lady, and you must be full of poetry and books." Instead of doing nothing at home, why not come to the school and teach the little ones to read and write? What do you think of my proposal? ”

Cui Ying'er also followed and persuaded: "Sister-in-law, what Mrs. Fu said is very right, there is nothing to do at home now, you stay at home all day, it is a little boring, it is better to go to the school to help." ”

Shen Shi was a little moved, and she looked at Old Madam Cui cautiously.

Mrs. Cui said with a smile: "If you want to go, you can go, you don't need to take care of the old body, there are so many maids at home." Besides, I either went to plant vegetables during the day, or went to Cao Deshun's wife and the family members of Liang Daguan to talk and play cards. I'm doing well every day, and I don't need you to serve. It's better for you to go to the academy and relax. ”

Shen was very happy: "Mother, the slave family will go to the academy tomorrow to try." ”

Cui Ying'er clapped her hands and said, "Great, sister-in-law, I'll accompany you to the school tomorrow." I don't have anything to do anyway. ”

Fang Juniang asked, "Ying'er, are you still afraid that we won't be able to take care of your sister-in-law?" Do you still need to accompany you? ”

Cui Ying'er and Fang Juniang were used to arguing, and immediately retorted: "Ju Niang, I'm idle at home, can't I go to the school to see?" When you didn't come to Qishan Island, I was the first female teacher. I taught the first children. ”
