Chapter 17: "Happiness Is That Simple"
For the first time with his family and his titular father Becky, feasting at the same table, Lacey's two little mothers and two half-brothers were obviously a little restrained, sitting in the seat solemnly and silently, for fear that he would do something wrong or say something wrong, which would make Viscount Becky angry, and Ellie, who was squinting her eyes and burying her head in eating next to Lacey, formed a particularly embarrassing atmosphere of stillness and movement.
Listening to the sound of her sister Ellie constantly gurgling eating and drinking, the banquet that needed the host to open her mouth to break the silence before the meal was opened, which was particularly harsh, and Lacey, who abided by aristocratic etiquette, could only secretly pull her sister's clothes under the dinner table, signaling for her sister to stop eating, but I didn't see all the eyes on my brother and you at the dinner table, it's embarrassing!
Viscount Becky, who wore a European-style blue vest and white shirt, combed a shiny black hairline, and wore gold wire glasses frames, sat at the head of the dining table with the dressed lady Lina, looking at his son Lacey, who was eye-catching because of his daughter Ellie, and his face was slightly embarrassed and red, Becky smiled slightly, raised the red wine glass with red wine and said: "Everyone has worked hard in the past few months!" Looking at Ellie's greedy appearance, I won't say anything superfluous, I just hope that the Beirut family will be stronger in the future and drink together! ”
"Drink together!"
Everyone at the dinner table raised their wine glasses in front of them and clinked glasses to Viscount Becky, and all the men, regardless of their age, drank them all.
This was a sign that it was time for the dinner party, and even Lacey, his sister Ellie, and the two half-brothers sitting opposite Lacey raised the glass of juice in front of them, followed the example of an adult, clinked glasses to his father and drank them all, and began to attack the food on the table.
Present were Mr. and Mrs. Becky, Lacey and his sister Ellie, Lacey's two mothers and two half-brothers, plus Grandpa Hall, who had served the Beirut family for nearly thirty years, Uncle Gerson, who was burly and uninhibited, and Uncle Jele, who seemed to be thin and tall like his father but had black eye frames, plus food and wine with all the colors and flavors, and when there were many people, the wine table was always lively.
In particular, Viscount Becky, Gerson, and Jer, who were by nature bandit, ate slowly and methodically in pretending to be aristocratic at first, and after a few full glasses of wine were poured down, they began to let loose their wreckage, moved their positions together and began to drink and brag and chat.
As for the hall housekeeper, who is nearly fifty years old, he is turning a blind eye to the profligate behavior of the head of the family, Viscount Becky, because he is really used to it, anyway, as long as there are no outsiders, plus there is the seemingly honest and honest Gerson and the seemingly harmless and smiling Győr together, then the head of the house, Becky, will be like a different person, and an inexplicable unique temperament will appear on the three of them, so that others dare not approach.
Therefore, the hall housekeeper was very curious about the deeds of the three heads of the family, Becky, Gerson, and Jer, who had disappeared together in the past few years, and did not understand that a child of the Quanxun family, who had received aristocratic etiquette since childhood, disappeared with two good partners when the family was in ruins, so that the old family owner could not find a trace, until finally in a small brothel on Center Street, the old family owner Chunfeng was depressed and drunk to death.
At that time, the manor villa was still an overgrown and dilapidated residence, and he and his son's family lived in the dilapidated manor villa at that time to guard the gate, until that day Viscount Betsch suddenly returned to the family eight years ago, like a different person, took over his viscount title, a series of dazzling butlers Hall's style of acting, tough and ruthless, so that the original dilapidated family regained the glory of the former aristocracy.
Pity! Regarding the previous disappearance of the three of them, Viscount Becky, Gerson, and Győr were silent, and no matter how the Hall steward asked, they still had no comment.
Perhaps only Madame Lena may know what happened to Viscount Becky! Butler Hall held a red wine glass and thought slightly as she looked at Mrs. Lena, who was laughing in a low voice and pointing at Lacey and their son.
......
Wearing a red evening dress, Mrs. Lena, the mother of Lacey Allie's two children, is now only 27 years old, but she can't see the 27-year-old appearance, the white neck like jade, the face full of moisture and luster, and the graceful figure under the tight-fitting evening dress, like a young and beautiful girl in her twenties, is as eye-catching as a young and beautiful girl in her twenties, but there is a trace of youthful beauty like a girl, and there is more maturity and stability of the head of the family.
"Come, eat more!"
Lady Lena, who was laughing quietly with Anna and Lucy, was diligently reaching out to pick up the vegetables and handing them to the two boys sitting in front of her with restrained expressions, ignoring Lacey and Lady Elelina, who knew that they didn't need to serve them themselves.
It may be because it is the first time to participate in this kind of intimate family banquet, and all the people present are Becky's close family and brothers, Anna and Lucy, the two mistresses of Viscount Becky, are obviously very nervous, and even their respective children are also restrained by nervousness, and even the dishes are flustered and trembling, which makes Lena feel distressed for a while, and the gentle and kind Lena can't look at it, so she personally sandwiches the meat and food to the two boys who want to eat very much.
"Our days will get better and better in the future, Anna, Lucy, we are all family, I have already told Becky, and in the future our family will eat together at the same table!" Lena held Anna and Lucy, who looked restrained, with both hands, and said softly, "The two children are already seven years old, it's time to think about the two children!" ”
Hearing Mrs. Lena's gentle and drizzling words, Anna and Lucy were very moved, but they glanced at Viscount Becky, who was laughing and playing with Gerson and Jer, and made Viscount Becky, who had been peeking at and eavesdropping on Mrs. Lena's side with small eyes and ears, roll her eyes, and drink the red wine in the wine glass in one gulp, so that she could say depressedly: What are you doing with me? In the past, you were not allowed to attend banquets and family meetings, but now that Lena has spoken, you two will agree! Look at me and look like I'm going to eat someone!
Viscount Becky's treatment of his wife Lena was full of love and pity! The two families used to be down-and-out small aristocratic families, Mrs. Lena can be regarded as childhood sweethearts with Becky, playing together to grow up, since Becky came home to revitalize the family, seeing that Lina, who liked to be a fart when she was a child, has grown into a slim and beautiful girl, Lang has a concubine who intends to look at the two of them, and the playmate relationship buried in her heart since childhood is naturally sublimated, and it is natural to get along for a period of time, and Viscount Becky is marrying Lina in the media.
It's a pity that there is no cat in the world that doesn't steal, and people, like cats, have been adhering to this vice from ancient times to the present!
At that time, the Beirut family was full of spirits, and he personally beat back the lost "Jiangshan" (the scenery of the former family), Becky was like an ancient king, the beauty of the country and the mountains were indispensable, the country and the country were indispensable, and the beauty naturally had to be there, and his wife Lena was used to love and pity, but not like those playmates in bed who were used to play with it, so he went out to find a girl who was looking for a good family jasper to have fun.
Fortunately, Lena really loves her husband Becky, plus Lena is kind, gentle and virtuous, and when she saw that her husband had an affair with her husband, she was a big-girl girl with a yellow flower who was as guarded as jade, and they were only confused by Becky's rhetoric and status and power, so they climbed into her husband Becky's bed and had a secret knot, so she didn't feel too much embarrassment for these two girls who were also hard-working, but she "cleaned up" her husband Becky at home, dispelling Becky's idea of wanting to start with two bead mistresses because of guilt. Let him provide for the two girls well, and since then two boys belonging to the blood of Betge have been born!
Because of Lena's gentle and virtuous temperament and understanding, Becky has not had any quarrels with Lena since she married Lena, and Lena is in charge of things at home, with the thoughts of the male protagonist and the female protagonist, she has never let Becky worry about trivial matters at home, and she has to take care of Becky's private affairs, because Becky's private affairs are also Lena's private affairs, so that Becky will confide and communicate with his wife Lena about all his things, because Becky found that his wife Lena is really a very good listener, She is also a very intelligent woman with a unique vision.
And the Beirut family, since Lena entered the house, has been at peace, because there is a kind and kind mistress, which is what all the servants and servants of the powerful family fantasize about, and the servants and servants of the Beirut family are very lucky, and they just happened to meet a kind and kind mistress in their minds.
Therefore, in the family, whether it is Gerson, who has a bold and unruly personality and secretly controls hundreds of men, or Butler Hall, who takes over from Viscount Betch to manage the housekeeping of the family, and Jer, who controls all the outside business of the family, they are full of respect for Mrs. Lena!
......
For Xiao Jiujiu, who is eyebrow-raising between adults, Lacey naturally won't care too much, at this time, Lacey is standing beside his sister with a sad face, reaching out and gently rubbing the round little belly that his sister is eating.
"Ahh Brother, I'm so happy, I'm so full! Ellie also followed her brother's hand and touched her round belly, her face full of happiness.
"Little glutton!" Lacey hooked Ellie's delicate little jade nose, and said angrily: "I told you just now, brother, eat less, you just don't listen, and now it's uncomfortable to eat!" Let your mother know that you can't walk until you eat, and you won't have anything to eat in the future! ”
Hearing her brother's threat, Ellie's face was full of panic, she grabbed her brother Lacey's little hand and shook it, pouting her cherry mouth and saying, "Brother, didn't I eat a little more today because the food was too good!" I feel so happy today, I have eaten a lot! ”
"Your happiness is because you are full? You're too cheap too! ”
Lacey rubbed her sister's little head, messing up the black hair that her mother, Lena, had carefully dressed Ellie.
For Ellie, who is only five years old, she has no worldly concepts, and naturally feels that she eats and drinks well every day, and what she eats is happiness! Shaking her little black silk head full of disarray, Ellie innocently asked her brother Reis, "What do you think happiness is, brother?" ”
Scold! If you have the ability, you will ask me back, Lacey is funny in her heart, looking at her sister with a serious face, the little hand on her sister's head can't help but rub faster!
"But what is happiness for me?" Lacey asked himself, looking around.
Uncle Gelson, who was already red-eyed, was strangling his hands and pretending to beg for mercy, and the necks of Becky and Uncle Jer, who were already slightly drunk, forced them to continue drinking and fighting, and the Hall housekeeper with a kind and warm expression was staring at himself and his sister non-stop, as if he was very appreciative of his behavior of helping his sister digest and rub his stomach, and his mother Lena talked passionately with the two little mothers after a period of deep conversation, as if there was no barrier, and even the two brothers who never dared to talk to themselves, also came running with a kind face, calling himself and Ellie as younger brothers and sisters.
Looking at everything in front of him, Reis seemed to have an understanding, and said to his sister with a smile on his face: "You may not understand now, in fact, for my brother, happiness is an easy thing to satisfy!" ”
"As long as every day is like today, you are well fed, your father and uncles are still joking, Grandpa Hall is healthy and long-lived, my mother and two aunts are happy and beautiful every day, and the two brothers are always by the side of the family, that is the happiness of my brother, so my brother's happiness is so simple!"
