Chapter 061: The First Table (Part I)
Mrs. Liu, who swallowed the Qingxin Pill, immediately felt a faint Qingxin Qi in her mouth. This breath flowed down his throat and down to his heart and lungs. The fire in her heart, which was originally raging, was extinguished in an instant. Mrs. Liu, who had an incomparably bright smile and was in a very good mood, carefully looked at the good treasure in the brocade box in her right hand. She really sighed in her heart, this Li Wenxuan Daoist is really worthy of his reputation.
Liu Wenjing, who noticed that his mother had not spoken for a long time after taking the pill, suddenly became very nervous and said, "Mother, you have nothing to do, right?" ”
"What can I do?" Old Mrs. Liu, who turned her head and glanced at her son, turned her head and continued to look at the Qingxin Pill in the brocade box, and couldn't help but nod slightly with satisfaction.
Su Meiniang, who was standing behind Li Wenxuan, noticed the other party's very useful expression, so she understood that the effect of Li Wenxuan's heart-clearing pill had played a role.
Old Madam Liu, who had covered the box, held it tightly in her hand, looked at Li Wenxuan with a smile and said, "This elixir is really miraculous. After the old body is under the clothes, the mood is extremely comfortable. Don't stand and talk, please take a seat. ”
Li Wenxuan, who arched his hand slightly, did not have the slightest politeness, then turned around and walked to the chair below and sat down. Standing on the side was a carefully serving maid, and she didn't dare to be a little lazy and hurriedly served him tea. Zhao Tian'er and Su Meiniang, who were originally standing in the center of the hall, did not slowly walk behind Li Wenxuan to stand, but sat down in turn.
"Today, Daoist Li must sit at the same table with the old man, so that I can toast you with a glass of wine to show my gratitude for sending such a miraculous elixir." Mrs. Liu, who regarded Li Wenxuan as a master, had to respect him: "Although the old man has lived for fifty years and knows some good things, it is the first time that he can take such a panacea. ”
Li Wenxuan, who heard her say this, said something humble on his mouth, but he was quite happy in his heart. The reason why he was in a happy mood was not because he was proud that the birthday gift he gave was approved by the birthday star, but because the Qingxin Pill brought him unexpected good results. Being able to sit at a table with Mrs. Liu means that he will be sitting at the first table of the entire birthday banquet.
In a hierarchical feudal society, this person is strictly divided into three, six, nine and so on, and everyone has their own position. Li Wenxuan knew that he was not qualified and was not arranged to sit at the first table. This time, his identity and status naturally detached himself from the many guests, so as to achieve a better publicity effect for himself in this circle.
When Liu Wenjing heard his mother's words, he couldn't object. After a long time, in order to make his mother no longer irritable and feel comfortable, he invited many so-called masters before and after, spent a lot of money, spent a lot of effort, and injured a lot of gods. However, none of them achieved the desired effect.
And Li Wenxuan came here, and his mother took an unknown pill in the birthday gift, but he unexpectedly received a miraculous effect. Liu Wenjing, who had witnessed the miraculous effect of Li Wenxuan's elixir, also had to take a look at the young man in front of him. Even if he treats him with a lower body, it is not too much.
Li Wenxuan, who had been chatting with Mrs. Liu about her elixir again, noticed that there were many people coming in and out of this hall to congratulate her on her birthday. She has long been focused on her spiritual beliefs, and she is in a hurry to deal with the people who come, and then she can't wait to continue to talk with Li Wenxuan about topics unique to their views of believers and Taoist priests.
Li Wenxuan, who didn't want to be the target of the public, thought that if he continued to sit here and chat with Mrs. Liu without knowing how to advance or retreat, he was afraid that he would attract the dissatisfaction and hostility of the gift giver towards him. Now, his foundation in Guixi County, Guangxin Prefecture is still shallow, and there is no need to arouse the jealousy of these people with heads and faces.
So, Li Wenxuan, who stood up, found an excuse to leave and said: "Xiaodao and the two female relatives in the family came to the county back hall for the first time, so they wanted to take a walk and take a look, but by the way, they had a thought in their hearts. I have long heard that the old lady's garden is very chic, and it can be regarded as the only one in my Guixi County. ”
Mrs. Liu, who laughed out loud, believed it and said modestly: "What is the only one, not the only one, isn't it that the old man has nothing to do and casually orders people to make trouble in the garden." ”
"The old lady can make a name for herself casually. If this is serious, it will be even more remarkable. Li Wenxuan, who originally wanted to get out of it, did not blindly make noise with an old woman who met for the first time, and pretended to praise.
"Since the Taoist Commander really wants to see it, then he is. The old man can't get out of here for a while, and I hope the Taoist will forgive me. Mrs. Liu, who had long regarded him as a guest in her heart, said with a spring breeze on her face.
Before leading Zhao Tianer and Su Meiniang out of the city, Li Wenxuan was polite to her again. When he walked out of the hall, he had no intention of going to the garden at all, but took a walk aimlessly. I can fully feel that the happy events of the county grandfather's family are different from the ordinary squire's family. This lively, decent, and beautiful degree really gave him a glimpse of the style of the Ming Dynasty's birthday banquet.
In addition to the squires who received the invitation in Guixi County, Liu Wenjing's colleagues and subordinates will prepare birthday gifts one by one. The maids and servants of the Liu family, as well as the maids and servants of the givers, were in and out of a flurry, and they were in a hurry. For them, that's work. And for their masters, it's human interaction.
Zhao Tian'er, who was walking on Li Wenxuan's right, couldn't help but ask: "Brother Wenxuan, why haven't I heard the rumors about the garden of the old man's house in this county?" ”
Su Meiniang, who was standing on Li Wenxuan's left hand, put her right index finger in front of her mouth and gestured to her, then looked around, deliberately pulled her over, and said in her ear: "This is all Wenxuan's statement that the golden cicada is out of her shell." ”
Zhao Tian'er, who suddenly came to her senses, suddenly laughed and said, "Brother Wen Xuan is getting worse and worse, and what he says is becoming more and more deceiving." ”
Li Wenxuan, who walked in front of her, knocked on her head gently, and whispered: "Dead girl, don't talk nonsense here." Zhao Tian'er gently rubbed his forehead with her right hand, and let out a series of "oh" sounds in her mouth, which was regarded as telling him that she knew what he had said.
The three people who continued to walk forward had not yet taken five steps before they met Lin Zhengbei and his wife, as well as Wang Dake and a group of dogs who came to pay homage to Mrs. Liu and give gifts. When the two parties met, they immediately stopped moving forward. Lin Zhengbei and the others, who had a very surprised expression on their faces, never thought that Li Wenxuan would be qualified to appear here.
Soon, Lin Zhengbei, who was experienced, changed his surprised expression and said with a hypocritical smile: "Virtuous nephew, don't come unharmed." ”
"Thanks to your old age, it's always been good." Li Wenxuan, who looks like he can pretend to be a hypocrite without learning from him, did not salute the elders when he was younger, but said calmly.
Mrs. Lin, who was standing on the left side of Lin Zhengbei, was not like her father-in-law, and she couldn't help but say quickly: "I didn't expect you to be able to appear here?" I always thought you were a nerd, but I didn't expect you to do that. ”
Li Wenxuan, who was not angry about this, was preempted by Su Meiniang on the side before he could speak: "We were invited, not by ourselves." So, you can name a reason why my Wenxuan can't be here? As for whether he is a nerd or not, he doesn't bother you to eat salty turnips at all. However, when it comes to drill camps, we are far inferior to you. Heck, I guess it's not all for birthday celebrations! ”
She had long heard Zhao Tianer tell her about the hostile relationship between her family and the Lin family, and realized that the other party was not good, so she stepped forward to defend Li Wenxuan. Su Meiniang felt that a quarrel between a woman and a woman was more appropriate than a quarrel between a woman and a man.
Mrs. Lin, who looked at Su Meiniang's eyes, said contemptuously: "Which one are you?" Why don't I know you? ”
"The slave is a trivial character, so of course you can't remember it." Su Meiniang, who knew that the other party was deliberately here to find fault, was not stupid enough to follow her words to introduce herself, but ridiculed her for being snobbish and said: "The people you can know and remember are naturally either rich or expensive, otherwise they don't match your identity, right?" ”
Lin Zhengbei, who didn't want to make any trouble here, knew very well that today was the fiftieth birthday of the great filial son Liu Wenjing for his mother. If anyone makes a difference here, they are deliberately unable to get along with this parent official in Guixi County, and I am afraid that they will definitely not be able to get good fruits to eat in the future.
Lin Zhengbei, who didn't want to fight for a while, first signaled his wife to shut up, and then said with a smirk: "If the virtuous nephew had been as enlightened as he was today earlier, then the old man would have thought that you were a talent that could be created." However, now that you have made amends, I wonder if it is a little too late? ”
Li Wenxuan, who didn't want to entangle with him, pretended to smile and said, "As for whether it's too late, you will know the truth in the future." I won't delay you from going here to pay your respects, after all, this is a long way to go. ”
Lin Zhengbei, who sneered, thought in his heart that if you kid can be successful and can lift people, then dogs can speak human words. I wish that the other party was the one who was ruined, and I earnestly hoped that Li Wenxuan would become a poor and sour talent who died like some poor diseases and shame in the play. As for the rumors from the outside world, he didn't believe it at all. Lin Zhengbei, who lives the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, expected that Li Wenxuan would take this opportunity to follow Liu Wenjing's path in order to achieve an ulterior secret.
