The sky was dark, the night had just fallen, and the Cui Mansion seemed to be eager to show its power and prosperity, so it hung up the red lantern early and lit a huge candle.

The brightly lit scene seems to imply that the Cui family is thriving, and the luck is like the sky.

Or the original birthday celebration of the main hall, the last birthday, Liu Yuan as a small businessman to offer treasures, although in the hall is very beautiful, but the most after not even a position, back to his own small room to eat, things have changed, now when back here again, under the mention of the slave, Liu Yuan knows that his position is in the chief.

This is a lot of face, before getting married, you can sit in the chief, mainly because the eldest and second masters of the Cui family go out as officials, and they are not in Qinghe's hometown at the moment, and the old lady Cui and Cui Jing are very fond of Cui Mengyao.

It may be that the old lady has not yet come, the dinner party has not yet begun, there are few people walking around in the hall, a few little children are still chasing each other and playing, laughing endlessly, they are not afraid, but the servant girls who are in charge are so anxious that they are in a cold sweat, and they follow the side to take care, for fear that these delicate young masters and young ladies will have any damage, if something goes wrong, they really can't afford to be guilty.

These are the close relatives of the big house, if the entire Cui family comes, it is estimated that even the ten-mile long street outside the house will not be able to sit down with wine.

After chatting with Cui Tingshi, Liu Yuan learned that the big house of the Cui family in Qinghe is the master of the house, and the old lady Cui has three sons and one daughter, and these people present are either the wives and concubines of the three uncles or their children or something. is like Master Cui, the eldest daughter is married, but the concubine who is twenty-eight years old gave birth to a big fat boy in the middle of the year.

The famous family is really good, no matter how old they are, there are still people who go to great lengths to send their young and beautiful daughters into Cui's mansion, in order to climb the big tree of Cui's family.

Liu Yuanzhen was walking, but he didn't expect someone to suddenly pull his sleeve, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was a spring with a fierce face, like a little pepper.

"I've called you twice. Why shouldn't it be human? Chun'er yelled a little unhappily.

"I was distracted just now, what's the matter, what's wrong with me?"

Chun'er pointed to the corner and said, "My young lady is looking for you." ”

Liu Yuan looked at the place pointed by Chun'er, and sure enough, two beauties were looking at him in a corner. Surprisingly, one is the main owner Cui Mengyao. Another one. But it's Cui Mengzhen.

These two girls have never been needle-pointed? How to get together.

"Two beauties, I don't know what to tell me." Liu Yuan approached the two girls with a smile and called them beauties as soon as he opened his mouth.

Cui Mengzhen bit her lip lightly, did not speak, and changed to before. This was a very frivolous remark, and she had reprimanded her early in the morning, but she couldn't say it now. Because standing in front of her was her big creditor, a big creditor who would take her thirteen years to pay off, and she didn't dare to blame him.

I put up with the frivolity just now, not to mention the frivolity of the words, just be, I didn't hear it.

Cui Mengzhen has no opinion, it doesn't mean that Cui Mengyao has no opinion, Cui Mengyao said a little unhappily: "Young Master Liu, please pay attention to your demeanor." ”

Because I borrowed Liu Yuan's luxury version of the zodiac doll, I haven't had enough fun now, and now I also have to ask Liu Yuan, Cui Mengyao can't reprimand Liu Yuan too much, just a hint.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's me Meng Lang, good evening two young ladies." Liu Yuan said a little helplessly.

Due to factors such as feudal etiquette and religion, that joke is not like later generations, and it can't be made casually, especially for those women who have not left the cabinet, if it is more true, the "beauty" just now can send Liu Yuan to the government to see the official.

Cui Mengyao said a little curiously: "Tonight is a family banquet, why are you here?" ”

It was an unintentional word, but as soon as it reached Liu Yuan's ears, it immediately changed its taste, and Cui Mengyao's subtext was: You can come here because of my relationship, otherwise, you are not qualified to attend this dinner.

I do, do I need a special reminder, isn't it just a dinner, to be honest, I'm not rare.

But these words are not easy to say, Liu Yuan can only endure it for the time being, no matter how to say it, it is someone else's territory now, and now he is sending it under the fence, and there is a woman who will be a little depressed before marriage or something, so the plan is deliberately to find fault, Liu Yuan is too lazy to worry about a "pregnant" woman, and said with a pun:

"The old lady sent someone to call me, and I came."

Cui Mengyao didn't doubt it, and said without a hint: "That, I heard that you have a lot of zodiac dolls cast in silver, can you show me?" ”

I wanted to ask Liu Yuan what he wanted, the slaves can give it away, it's okay to give it to himself, right? However, the set of pure gold has not been returned, and he still owes Liu Yuan a large amount of silver, and he really can't say anything about letting him ask a man for something, so he temporarily changed his mind.

Liu Yuan smiled secretly in his heart, this chick seems to have a natural preference for jewelry, and the best set of gold is given to her, seeing that Chun'er took back the two silver ones, it is estimated that she will be able to enter here because of her, and then immediately ask for benefits, which is quite smart.

Actually, you don't have to do so much, just talk to yourself about it.

Liu Yuan said briskly: "I'll give you a set, don't say anything to borrow, where do I have more, it's not worth much anyway,"

Hearing Liu Yuan generously say that she would give herself a set, Cui Mengyao smiled happily, for her, it saved another sum, but looking at the second sister who was a little envious on the side, Cui Mengyao hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "That, can you send two sets?" Neither did my second sister. ”

Cui Meng really likes it, Liu Yuan naturally knows it, and remembers that there seem to be four or five sets in his box, so he doesn't mind, nodding and saying, "Okay, no problem." ”

"Really?"

"Of course, you can send someone to fetch it in a moment."

Cui Mengyao smiled and said, "You are so good, thank you." ”

"Hehe, what are you talking about, so happy?" At this time, Cui Jing suddenly walked over and asked with interest.

Seeing that his daughter and Liu Yuan could talk like this, there were talks and laughs, and Cui Sanye was relieved. Walked over with a smile.

"Third uncle."

"Lord Shangshu."

Liu Yuan and Cui Mengzhen hurriedly saluted.

"I won't tell you." Cui Mengyao didn't want to tell her father about asking Liu Yuan for something, so she said mischievously.

"Hehehe, it's free, it's just a family banquet, and the common rites are all exempted, otherwise it will be revealed" Cui Jing was not angry, thinking that what they said was the private words of young people, and he didn't ask questions. Instead, he smiled and said to Liu Yuan: "Xiaoyuan, let's go, let's sit in the chief, the old lady is coming out soon." ”

used to be called Liu Yuan, but now I see him talking happily with his daughter. The daughter was smiling, and Cui Jing was even happier in her heart. Even the title has been changed to "Xiaoyuan".

A lot closer.

"Yes," Liu Yuan responded. followed behind Cui Tingshi and sat down as the chief.

Cui Mengyao and Cui Mengzhen looked at each other, not understanding how people with such a big difference in identity could get so close.

It is estimated that there is a connection between the project, and the two don't care.

"Old lady, you go slowly. Walking. As soon as Liu Yuan sat down, he heard a familiar voice and turned his head to look, Nima. Zheng Yucheng, who almost lost just now, who didn't remember who his son was or what his surname was, turned into a modest young talent in the county, and personally helped the old lady out, with a flattering look, Liu Yuan thought he was a eunuch who ran out of the palace at first.

"Okay, okay, okay, you can sit too, I didn't expect you to be so kind of to see me, an old woman." Mrs. Cui was in a very good mood, and after sitting down, she said with a smile Zheng Yucheng said.

Zheng Yucheng responded, took the opportunity to sit next to the old lady, and then greeted Cui Jing very politely, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and did not greet Liu Yuan.

It feels like a shame to greet Liu Yuan on the same occasion, and this face has become really fast.

Famous families also have rules, that is, those who sit in the chief can only be the person with the highest status, and then there are the men and guests in the family, like women and children, they can only sit in the second seat, and the people on the chief are only Mrs. Cui, Cui Jing, Liu Yuan and Zheng Yucheng, and even the most favored Cui Mengyao is no exception, so he can only honestly sit at another table with Cui Mengzhen and others.

Mrs. Cui smiled and said: "Okay, sit down, there are two guests today, one is Zheng Yucheng from the Zheng family in Xingyang, and the other is Liu Yuan from Yangzhou, both of whom are two young and promising young people, so hold a family banquet and have a light meal, and you will be closer in the future." ”

Liu Yuan smiled and said, "I've seen it." ”

"I've seen it." Zheng Yucheng also said with a smile, but he smiled a little reluctantly.

To be honest, Liu Yuan is still a little person who can't be on the stage in his mind.

Cui Jing smiled and said, "I have already seen it, well, young people, it is good to move around more." ”

Hey, not only have I seen it, but I also took him as a pit for his underwear, Liu Yuan glanced at Zheng Yucheng, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Okay, third child, let the food be served, don't make the guests wait." Mrs. Cui said with a smile. 、

Cui Jing hurriedly responded, turned his head and told the housekeeper to start.

Soon, one by one Yahuan took the tray and began to serve, as the Yahuan reported the dishes one by one, Liu Yuan finally saw what the upper class people ate: fragrant roasted mutton, roasted hump, Yipin whole sheep pot, Bafang Sanzhen venison soup, cold food cakes, fried oil fish, five-flavor Hu cakes, etc., eating either mutton or venison, ordinary chicken, duck and pork or something, can not be found on the dinner table.

The reason for this is that they divide food into three, six, nine and so on.

Before Liu Yuan had time to taste the food, he saw a servant skillfully set up firewood in the hall, put a peeled and washed sheep on it, and roasted it on the spot, and soon, a smell of burnt meat spread in the hall.

Isn't it, it's almost time to eat, and that's when the roast sheep begins?

"Uncle Cui, is this a muddy sheep?" Zheng Yucheng, who was sitting opposite Liu Yuan, suddenly exclaimed: "This, this is too grand." ”

Cui Jing smiled and said: "It's not grand, it's rare for a virtuous nephew to come to Qinghe once, this is as it should be." ”

After speaking, he turned his head to Liu Yuan and said, "Xiaoyuan, don't eat too much for a while, the good show is ahead." ”

Muddy sheep sudden?

How did this come about? Liu Yuan was confused. (To be continued.) )
