In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, every household in Xiangyang City was decorated with lanterns and hung with red lanterns.

The gate of the Li Mansion was also hung with red lanterns, and all the things inside and outside the mansion were handed over to Zhang Xiaohua to arrange, but there was no one else in the family except for Zhang Xiaohua and the four strong martial arts guards and Lao Zhang, the chef of the Li Mansion.

Because Li Gengyun was injured, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner of the party was also placed in Li Gengyun's room. The dishes on the table were all from Lao Zhang Zhangluo, and Zhang Xiaohua and the four guards assisted from the side.

With Zhang Xiaohua's support, Li Gengyun sat down at the dinner table, looking at a large table of dishes, and couldn't help but think of some sentimentality in his heart.

After taking a seat, Zhang Xiaohua and the others stood aside and watched Li Gengyun eat.

"Huh?" Li Gengyun saw everyone waiting on the side, and he was also a little unaccustomed to it, so he put down the chopsticks he had just picked up, and then said to Zhang Xiaohua and them with a smile, "Come, sit down and eat together." ”

"Mr. Li, please use it, I don't dare to trespass." Zhang Xiaohua refused Li Gengyun's invitation, although Li Gengyun was very casual about things in his life, but after all, there was a difference between master and servant, as a house slave, Zhang Xiaohua and they still stood aside nervously, not daring to say anything.

"It doesn't matter, in my hometown, whether men, women or children, everyone gathers together during the New Year, and there is never a difference between master and servant, don't mind." Li Gengyun said with a smile, and then he pointed to a table full of dishes and beckoned to Zhang Xiaohua, "Look at the dishes on this table, I am alone, let me eat so much, you treat me as a pig?" ”

"I don't know your mind yet, so instead of eating it when it's cold, why don't you eat hot now? Come, sit down! ”

Li Gengyun naturally knew that he would definitely not be able to finish this table of dishes. After he was full, all that was left was a small flower for everyone, and they were eating separately. Looking at so many dishes made by Lao Zhang, it is obvious that he is thinking that he will have a good meal after the New Year.

"Still ......"

"Sit down, it's all your own family, why be polite. I don't have much atmosphere when I eat alone. Lao Zhang, go and bring me those jars of wine, you have worked hard these days. If you don't drink some wine for the New Year, you won't go. But I won't drink it, I'll have to recuperate now! ”

"Yes!"

Lao Zhang also showed a happy smile on his face when he heard Li Gengyun's words, and at the same time, the four guards' eyes lit up, grinned, and thanked Li Gengyun: "Thank you, Mr. Li!" ”

It didn't take long for Lao Zhang to bring over Li Gengyun's collection of wine and sit down with everyone, he was smiling and pouring a bowl of wine for all the guards, and at the same time filling his own wine bowl.

"Lao Zhang, pour a bowl for Xiaohua too."

"Oh, yes, yes, I almost forgot!"

Li Gengyun saw that Lao Zhang did not pour wine for Zhang Xiaohua, and he also noticed a trace of displeasure on Zhang Xiaohua's face, so he gave an order to Lao Zhang.

"Come, come, come! Sister Hua, Lao Zhang will pour it for you! Lao Zhang's face also changed slightly, since Zhang Xiaohua came to the Li Mansion, she has been controlling all the big and small things in this mansion, as if she is the second master of the Li Mansion.

"Isn't it just that the queen personally appointed Mr. Li's slave girl, what's the big deal!" This is Lao Zhang's heart, but Li Gengyun doesn't know.

After pouring wine for Zhang Xiaohua, Lao Zhang couldn't wait to return to his seat, then raised the wine bowl and said to Li Gengyun: "Mr. Li, Lao Zhang has been a cook in other people's homes for many years, and he has always been a slave to other people's families, and the master's family doesn't treat me as a person. But since I came to Mr. Li's house, Mr. Li has also taken good care of Lao Zhang, and let me have the opportunity to eat at the same table with you, so I will use this bowl of wine to toast Mr. Li! Do it first! ”

Saying that, Lao Zhang raised his head directly, dried the bowl, and looked at Li Gengyun with enthusiastic eyes.

"Lao Zhang, sit down, sit down! Don't make it so grand, we are all our own families, and we have been made so raw, I will replace the wine with tea and return you with a glass! Although Li Gengyun couldn't drink, he also asked Zhang Xiaohua to prepare some tea for himself, so he slowly poured himself a cup of tea, and then took a sip of hot tea to show his respect.

"Thank you, Mr. Lee!"

"Mr. Li, I'll give you a drink!"

"Mr. Li, please!"

The four guards were not to be left behind, and after Lao Zhang sat down, they all picked up their wine bowls and toasted to Li Gengyun.

"All sit, all sit!" Li Gengyun saw the four of them standing up and toasting him, and he hurriedly beckoned them to sit down, and as a return gift, he also drank the tea in the cup, "It's not good to drink on an empty stomach, eat some food first!" ”

"Thank you, Mr. Lee!"

After the four of them sat down, they also put the empty wine bowl on the table, although Li Gengyun beckoned them to eat, but they didn't mean to pick up chopsticks.

"Mr. Li, a slave girl, it is a blessing to be able to eat at the same table with Mr. Li, please Mr. Li don't laugh!"

Zhang Xiaohua was also forced by Lao Zhang and them to pick up the wine bowl and dry it in one gulp.

From Zhang Xiaohua's words, Li Gengyun understood that Lao Zhang did this on purpose, Lao Zhang and the four guards did not move their chopsticks after drinking, which was obviously giving Zhang Xiaohua a hint that she was toasting to herself. Since ancient times, there are differences between men and women, and men have far more time and opportunities to drink than women, so in terms of the amount of alcohol, men must be better than women, which is also the meaning of Zhang Xiaohua saying that she is a woman, and please don't laugh, indicating that she also knows that she doesn't drink well, and this bowl of wine was forced by Lao Zhang.

And when Lao Zhang saw Zhang Xiaohua drinking from Li Gengyun, a smile appeared on his face, which naturally confirmed his thoughts.

"Sister Hua has a good amount of alcohol! Come on, come on, I'll fill it for you! ”

Lao Zhang saw that Zhang Xiaohua drank the water and wine in one breath, and immediately stood up, took the wine jar and walked towards her, and before she could sit down, he took the wine bowl in her hand.

"Lao Zhang, put down the wine jar, everyone's respective amount of alcohol is clear, it's not good to drink too much during the New Year. Whoever wants to drink should fetch it himself. There is no need for Lao Zhang to run around, dazzling. Ha ha! ”

Li Gengyun said this with a smile, this time it was also to relieve Zhang Xiaohua, and secondly, it also gave Lao Zhang enough face, and Lao Zhang's outstretched hand also followed his words and put Zhang Xiaohua's wine bowl on the table.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Li said very much! Come on, Sister Hua, pour as much as you want, Lao Zhang, I won't mix it blindly! ”

With that, Lao Zhang put down the wine jar and returned to his seat.

"Hehe, come, eat vegetables! You have to be happy during the New Year, you are free, don't be polite! ”
