Chapter Seventy-One: The Night Feast
At night, Yaxian is very desolate, except for the street where the Red Mansion Square is located, there are a little more people, and it is rare to see other people moving at night.
Day after day, year after year, the people of Yaxian County live like this.
At this time, Wei Ziyang was rushing to this Chen Mansion in a hurry, but he promised this Chen Yun'er to go to the banquet on time in the evening, if she released her pigeon again, I don't know what will happen.
Thinking of Chen Yun'er's temper, Wei Ziyang couldn't help but shake his head and smiled bitterly.
On the long street where Chen's mansion is located, it is not as good as this ordinary street, there are still more people there, at least not a living person will not be seen for most of the day.
Before Wei Ziyang came to this Chen Mansion, before he stepped forward, the sharp-eyed servant at the door had already noticed Wei Ziyang's arrival, and immediately shouted with a smile: "It's Brother Wei, the young lady and the old man are waiting for you, let me report it." “
Before Wei Ziyang came back to his senses, he trotted all the way into the courtyard, Wei Ziyang stood outside the door, and could only vaguely hear the servant's report from the house. I had to smile bitterly and touch my nose with my hand, which was very embarrassing.
This Chen Mansion is inevitably too polite to himself.
In fact, in Wei Ziyang's heart, he was flattered by the Chen family's approach, logically speaking, he was just a refugee, protected by the Chen family as a tenant farmer, and had his own living security, to put it mildly, he came to beg for a living, and this Chen family, not only did not look down on him, but also treated him so well, and did not treat him as an outsider at all, which is very rare for a big family like the Chen family.
The concept of the scholar clan and the concept of the family is already deeply rooted in people's hearts, and even ordinary people know that most of the officials are princes and nobles, and most of them have to pay attention to the family when marrying, not to mention the local gentry like the Chen family, so Wei Ziyang was also quite moved by the Chen family's treatment of him like this.
Wei Ziyang was still thinking about this, but the servant who ran in just now ran out out of breath and shouted to Wei Ziyang: "Brother Wei, the master let you in." ”
"Okay." Wei Ziyang answered, and stepped into the Chen Mansion.
In fact, according to the rules, most of the high-status families like the Chen family implement a separate meal system, that is, everyone eats in their own room, and the subordinate is responsible for serving it. But today is Wei Ziyang coming, the situation is different, generally when there are guests, they are to eat in the main hall, this can show the hospitality of the host's family, and in line with the etiquette, second, together at a table also seems more lively, warm.
Before he reached the main hall, Wei Ziyang saw a person standing outside the door of the main hall. When I got closer, I was a little surprised.
Chen Yun'er stood in front of the door at this time, with a smile on her face, a very gentle smile, and said softly to this Wei Ziyang: "Brother Ziyang, it can be regarded as coming." ”
Good guy, this Miss Chen family actually received her outside the door in person, if this matter spreads, I am afraid that it will shock the eyes of many people in this county.
Wei Ziyang made a decision, took a closer look, and found that this Chen Yun'er was a little different from when he saw it in the morning.
She had already changed her clothes at this time, no longer the green clothes, but into a light blue tulle shirt with hanging shoulders, and a blue light-edged flower skirt on the lower body, with a few plain butterflies tattooed on the pleated skirt, silk-like hair scattered around her waist at will, neat bangs on her forehead, Qiong's nose and cherry lips, slender figure, weak waist, and a pair of big eyes with loveliness, giving people a touch of amazement.
Wei Ziyang was also slightly stunned when he saw Chen Yun'er like this, a sense of beauty and refinement, bright and tender came to his face, Chen Yun'er was like a noble and dignified lotus, quiet and independent, beautiful and smart.
Wei Ziyang nodded, and whispered to Chen Yun'er: "Girl, I didn't break my promise this time, right?" ”
His voice was easy-going and natural, and he didn't sound like the subordinate who got along with Chen Yun'er, but more like a big brother, which made Chen Yun'er feel happy in his heart and felt a burst of warmth, so he also replied with a smile: "Is it here this time, Brother Ziyang come in quickly, the meals are ready." ”
When Wei Ziyang heard this, he didn't twist, he just took the first step and entered the main hall, and Chen Yun'er followed closely behind Wei Ziyang, with a pair of beautiful eyes that never left him at all, like an admirer, with a smile on the corner of his mouth and stars shining in his eyes.
After Wei Ziyang came in, he saw that this Chen Zhong was sitting on the high hall, holding a scroll in one hand and touching his gray beard with the other, looking calm and relaxed, and when he saw Wei Ziyang coming, he immediately laughed, stood up and said to him: "Ziyang, I have invited you many times before, but this time I finally came." ”
When Wei Ziyang heard this, he also scratched his head, and said with embarrassment: "There were really some things before, but I failed the master's kindness." ”
When Chen Zhong heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand: "Eh, don't talk about that, I'm here today, you have to have a few drinks with me, hahaha." ”
"Of course." Then Wei Ziyang's eyes lit up, and he just hugged his fists and said.
When Wei Ziyang came in just now, he looked in all directions, and saw that the tables and chairs in the main hall were neatly placed, wiped cleanly, and there was no trace of dust.
Looking at the table, I saw that there were seven or eight dishes on it, including meat and vegetarian dishes, tea and soup, which were very luxurious.
"Eh, sir, I'm here to eat, I can't eat so much." Wei Ziyang only thought that Chen Fu had entertained him for a good life, so he deliberately made this appearance, and suddenly his face was bitter, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said embarrassedly.
"Hahaha, it's not my trouble, it's Yun'er who did it herself." Chen Zhong looked at Chen Yun'er who was standing on the side with a smile in his eyes and said.
"Hey, Dad......" Chen Yun'er heard this, and immediately her face turned red, like a peach blossom in spring, nervously pulling the corners of her clothes, a pair of eyes secretly glanced at this Wei Ziyang, but saw Wei Ziyang also looking at her with a smile, and suddenly became even more shy, and buried her head deeply, as if she was very unsightly.
Wei Ziyang coughed deliberately, and then said with a smile: "Oh? That's a feast for today. ”
"Brother Ziyang, you can taste it and see if it suits your appetite." When Chen Yun'er heard Wei Ziyang's joking words, she bowed her head slightly shyly, and said with some expectation.
"I don't know if Brother Ziyang likes to eat sweet or light, so I just made it casually, if it's not delicious, Brother Ziyang is not weird."
When Wei Ziyang heard this, he smiled: "I'm not a picky eater, I can eat anything." ”
Chen Zhong also laughed a few times before proposing: "Ziyang, Yun'er, sit down and eat quickly, otherwise this meal will be cold." After finishing speaking, they sat down first, and Chen Yun'er and Wei Ziyang saw it and sat down slowly.
After Wei Ziyang sat upright, he wanted to wait for Chen Yun'er and Chen Zhong to eat first, but when he saw that they were all looking at him with a smile, he knew that he was going to taste it first, and with a few wry smiles, he picked up chopsticks and took two bites of food to eat. In all fairness, although the dishes made by Chen Yun'er are not very delicious, they are also very good, and they are not much more than the chefs in the ordinary restaurant, and considering that this Chen Yun'er is the eldest lady of the Chen Mansion, she must rarely cook, and it is very good to be able to do this cooking.
Looking at Chen Yun'er's expectant eyes, Wei Ziyang laughed in his heart, and nodded again and again: "Miss Chen's dishes are very delicious." ”
"Really?" When Chen Yun'er heard this, her face was full of smiles, showing joy.
"Of course, how could I have deceived Miss Chen?" When Wei Ziyang said this, Emperor Quickly took a few bites of rice, and then swallowed it together with this delicious dish.
When Chen Yun'er heard this, she immediately pursed her lips, thinking to herself, did you lie to me less? Whether it's about this cave or releasing your own pigeons, aren't you all lying to yourself?
In fact, what she didn't expect was that Wei Ziyang lied to her even about the Red Mansion Fang.
"Brother Ziyang likes it." Of course, Chen Yun'er wouldn't say it bluntly, but after thinking about it, she responded softly to this Wei Ziyang.
"Okay, okay, Ziyang, don't compliment her, you see that you are about to praise her to the sky, let's eat vegetables." Chen Zhong interrupted the conversation between the two and proposed.
After that, the three of them also laughed a few times, and began to talk while eating, this Chen family is not like other families, other families, the family is very serious when eating, and they can't say a few words, but this Chen family is different, there are laughter and laughter at the dinner table, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.
That Chen Yun'er's eating action is very delicate, this Wei Ziyang has his own subordinates to add food and pour tea for him after eating, Wei Ziyang wanted to do it himself, but Chen Zhong said that he didn't need to trouble himself, so he had to give up.
Eating and eating, this Wei Ziyang seemed to think of something, and he asked Chen Zhong in doubt: "Master, do you know about this King Xiang of my Great Wei?" ”
"King Xiang?" That Chen Zhong was still drinking tea just now, and when he heard Wei Ziyang coldly mention King Xiang, he also showed surprise on his face, and couldn't help but be puzzled: "Ziyang, why are you asking this King Xiang?" ”
"Oh, it's nothing, my hometown is from the mountains, and I don't know much about Da Wei's affairs, and I've heard everyone say anything about King Xiang these days, so I'm also very curious." That Wei Ziyang smiled faintly, and there didn't seem to be a flaw in his words, and he replied to this Chen Zhong.
"If you want to talk about this King Xiang, it is a well-known figure in my Great Wei, except for the Holy Lord and General He, the most famous of my Great Wei is to belong to this King Xiang." Chen Zhong pondered slightly for a while before he said slowly.
"Oh?" Hearing this, Wei Ziyang was even more curious.
Is King Xiang so remarkable? It can be compared to Nahe Xifeng and Emperor Wei Chongdi.
