Chapter 13 Play
Thousands of miles away in Jinhua Sun Mansion, Zhou Jin and Qingyu are now alive after a few hours of rest, the two came to the lobby to sit down after freshening up, Zhou Jin urged Sun Youwei to hurry up and eat.
Sun Youwei knew that Zhou Jin's temperament was not strange, so he asked the housekeeper to order the kitchen to serve the food, Zhou Jin drank tea and asked leisurely: "Why didn't my cousin see my uncle and aunt for a day?" ”
Put down the teacup in his hand Sun Youwei said: "Oh, my father went to Suzhou to talk about business, and my mother went to the City God Temple early in the morning to make incense, and just entered the room to freshen up and change clothes and wait for dinner." ”
"The young master's wine and food are ready, are you going to serve it now?" The housekeeper asked, "Well, Zhou Jin and Qingyu haven't eaten for a day, you hurry up and let the kitchen serve the food, and you go and notify my mother to come over for dinner." ”
"Got it, young master." The butler went down and called the kitchen to serve the food.
The three of them got up and sat around the table, and it didn't take long for the whole table to be filled after the dishes were served, Zhou Jin and Qingyu had been hungry for a day, and their chests were already close to their backs, and they couldn't help but swallow saliva when they saw so many delicacies on the table, Zhou Jin couldn't help but lie on the table, smelling this dish, sniffing that dish, and sniffing a 'hungry dog grabbing food', after all, instinct overcame reason, Zhou Jin broke off the two big tongs of the hairy crab in Yangcheng Lake with his hand, and handed one to Qingyu.
Qingyu was a little reserved because he was a guest outside, and postponed it with a smile, and drank it with his own tea, "You're embarrassed to eat, I'll eat it myself." Zhou Jin ignored Qingyu and devoured it himself, and from time to time there was a sound of sucking the soup, and Zhou Jin was heard making strange noises from time to time in a huge living room.
Zhou Jin ate happily alone, and everyone else looked at this young master strangely. "I said how I heard such a big movement in the lobby from afar, it turned out to be my good nephew Gouzi." Qingyu, who was drinking tea, heard the tea that someone called Zhou Jin's "cheap name" and was choked, so he quickly got up and wiped the water off his body.
With the help of the maid, Sun Youwei's mother Wei came to the lobby, and it is said that his mother was a descendant of Wei Zifu, the empress of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Sun Youwei got up to help his mother sit down, and he sat next to Qingyu.
Wei sat down, Zhou Jin put down the tongs of the hairy crab in his hand, wiped his mouth and hands with the cloth on the table, got up and said, "Uncle, I want to kill you." ”
Wei's fasting and chanting Buddha, frowning at the word "death", said: "You stupid boy is still so naughty, you can't talk well!" Zhou Jin lived with Sun Youwei, so he naturally knew Wei's taboo and said with a smile: "Uncle, Zhou Jin hasn't come to see you for several years, I am very worried, and I came to see you on behalf of my friend in the starry night, and I left in a hurry without any gifts, don't be surprised." ”
Regardless of whether Zhou Jin was sincere or false, Wei said with a smile: "There is nothing lacking in the house, you have this thought, my aunt is very happy, and it is not in vain that I hurt you, who is this kid?" ”
Qingyu saw Wei Shi ask himself, got up and said: "Aunt Ankang, boy, I am Zhou Jin's friend, my name is Li Qingyu, I heard Zhou Jin say that Jinhua Mansion is ten miles long street, and the bright lights are much stronger than Songlin County, so I followed." ”
Wei said: "Since you are here, you are a guest, anyway, you are still idle, let him take the two of you to play in Jinhua Mansion for a while, okay, sit down and eat, don't patronize and talk for a day." ”
Qingyu thanked him and sat down, and under the leadership of Wei, several people began to eat dinner. Wei's dinner table was very quiet, only heard the sound of a few people's chopsticks touching the plate, and the strange thing was that Qingyu didn't feel very hungry just now, and only cared about pulling a bowl of rice.
After a few bites, Wei put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth and said, "Okay, I'm full, you can eat slowly." As he spoke, he got up and walked to the door, and the three of them got up and said, "Send my mother, my aunt, and my aunt." ”
"Woo......" Zhou Jin sighed and said: "I haven't been here for a few years, why does my aunt still give people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant, and I am almost out of breath." ”
Qingyu also spoke: "I don't feel this way, you see that I have eaten all the bowls of rice, and I haven't eaten a single dish." Sun Youwei said: "Don't say that you even me, a person who gets along day and night, have this feeling, it may be that eating fasting and chanting Buddha for a long time is stained with the solemn appearance of 'Buddha Qi'." Sun Youwei guessed, and Qingyu nodded in agreement.
"Okay, hurry up and eat, this dish is cold," Zhou Jin urged: "Come to Qingyu, this is the Jinhua ham you are clamoring to eat, how about it taste." As he spoke, he got up and replaced the Jinhua ham in front of him and the sauce duck tongue in front of Qingyu.
Qingyu ate the famous Jinhua ham for the first time, and used chopsticks to clip a piece of crimson meat slices to the front and sniffed it with his nose, a smell of meat that penetrated into his heart and spleen floated in, Qingyu put the meat slice into his mouth and felt the illusory and untouchable meat fragrance just now is really in his own hands, a kind of happiness came too suddenly from the heart to the mind, Qingyu unconsciously sandwiched another piece.
This feeling is so wonderful that outsiders can't detect it, Zhou Jin just thinks that Qingyu is happy to get carried away when he eats Jinhua ham for the first time. Sun Youwei sat in the host seat and persuaded Qingyu to eat vegetables from time to time, and gave Zhou Jin a bowl full of dishes.
Zhou Jin saw that this bowl full of dishes was not in a hurry to eat, but asked: "Cousin, after a day off, now I am energetic, where are you going to take us to play after eating, Qingyu and I can't wait to go." ”
Sun Youwei said: "Don't worry, don't worry, when we finish this meal, we will naturally go on your behalf." Come, Qingyu, Zhou Jin, let's have a drink. As he spoke, the three of them raised their glasses and drank them all.
I ate this meal for about an hour, and each drank a jar of flower carvings. Qingyu and Zhou Jin eat, drink and have fun all year round, these are nothing, and then look at Sun Youwei sitting there, his face is not red, his heart is not beating, and he looks calm and calm, obviously he is a fellow believer with the two of them.
Huadiao wine is mild, mellow and easy to eat, Qingyu and Zhou Jin drank a big jar like drinking water, but if they drank too much, they had to go to the toilet, the two got up and walked in the direction of the toilet under the leadership of the housekeeper, and came to the door, the breeze blew on the face, Qingyu shivered a lot, but also felt the slightest coolness.
The housekeeper carried a lantern in front of the guide from time to time to remind the two behind to pay attention to the steps, be careful of the threshold, and finally found the toilet in a corner, the two rushed into the toilet to relieve a small solution, Zhou Jin muttered on the side: "This house is so troublesome to use the toilet." Qingyu took advantage of Zhou Jin's secret muttering there and tilted his body to look at what he stepped on, who would have thought that all the urine was sprinkled on Zhou Jin's upper.
Zhou Jin obviously sensed that something was wrong, so he scolded: "Qingyu, I curse you for having sores on the top of your head and suppuration under your feet. Qingyu knew that the situation was not good, and he had already retreated outside and ran into the lobby, and Zhou Jin couldn't care so much about chasing after him with his pants. The butler carried the lantern at the back and said, "Two sons, don't run around in the dark and be careful of wrestling." "I didn't run far before I stopped and gasped for air.
Qingyu ran in the direction of the living room, and in the candlelight, he saw Sun Youwei waiting for him and Zhou Jin at the door. Soon after Qingyu came to Sun Youwei's side, Zhou Jin followed and said: "Qingyu, you villain, take advantage of people to do dirty things" While saying that, he tied up the caftan with a belt, Sun Youwei played a round between the two and said: "Didn't you want to go out and experience Jinhua's pastime after dinner!" ”
Qingyu hurriedly took over the conversation and said, "Yes, I can't wait, I can leave now." Saying that he was leading the way in front, Zhou Jin made various movements at Qingyu's back, sometimes punching, sometimes kicking, Sun Youwei only shook his head with a rogue smile at the two of them.
The three of them rode a tall horse under the leadership of Sun Youwei to the "Cuide Garden", Sun Youwei smiled incomprehensibly, but the other two heard the night language of the warbler from afar, the two couldn't help but look at each other and smile This kind of voice is very familiar, you don't need to look at it to know that it is the girl of the Qinglou who is soliciting guests to laugh and scold.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Jin couldn't help but mutter: "Cousin, you came to this kind of place on our behalf?" Qingyu and I have forgotten how long it has been since we have been to this kind of occasion, and the smoky miasma in it is really not suitable for people of taste like us. "Ouch, why is it so sour, I don't know who used to be happy in the flower building all day long, but Brother Sun really doesn't want to go in this place" Qingyu even shaved Zhou Jin.
Sun Youwei was not annoyed by the disappreciation of the two and said: "If it is suitable for the two of you, you will know if you go in and see it." Saying that, he took the lead in turning over and dismounting, Qingyu and Zhou Jin had no choice but to dismount, and at this time, a guy from the store came over to lead the three people's horses to the back garden.
The three of them entered the "Cuide Garden" inside is another world, which is noisy betting, cheering, and drinking to make one after another lively, and the two of them are also well-informed and guessed that this was originally a garden integrating gambling, eating and drinking, listening to music, and lodging. Qingyu and Zhou Jin couldn't help but feel happy in their hearts, they were all glad that this trip was not in vain, and they were also sighing that Songlin County and Jinhua Mansion were indeed incomparable, and there were more people and hawkers on the street on horseback just now than in Songlin County.
Zhou Jin used the fastest speed to see this "Cuide Garden", while looking for a familiar sound in this noisy lobby, once, twice and finally found it in the southwest corner of the lobby, Zhou Jin smiled and rushed to that side Qingyu also walked in the same direction next to him, Sun Youwei knew that it was a man who was good at this, and saw the strength of the two like wolves and tigers to know that it was right, and he went in the opposite direction, he wanted to play the most popular fight "promote weaving" in the Ming Dynasty, it is said that today is also the most popular fight "promote weaving".
Dou "promote weaving" began in the Tang Dynasty, when it was a favorite activity of the people and officials, the poet Du Fu left a poem "promote weaving is very subtle, how touching the mourning sound" shows the degree of people's love, crickets according to the color to distinguish the grade "white is not as good as black, black is not as good as red, red is not as good as yellow, yellow and the emperor homonym means the emperor in the cricket." "Everywhere else is a fierce battle, but here it is quiet, like a paradise in the downtown area, the bettors next to him are talking in their ears from time to time, and the others are watching the dealer.
The dealer saw that everyone was enthusiastic and carefully took out the blue and white clay pot from his arms, and came to the paddock specially designed for the bucket "to promote weaving", opened the lid and jumped out of it a dark yellow cricket, only to see it flutter its wings and hiss, the dark yellow body is like a pair of golden armor, and put on a posture of who else is patrolling the paddock, and the guests around are exclaiming that this must be the species of Ningjin, and some of them exclaimed that this is not the treasure of the "Cuide Garden" town hall "General Changsheng", "General Changsheng" A fight to rest for a while and then slaughter in order to save energy, today is fortunate to meet is really lucky.
