Chapter 257: Unkind
Just glanced at it, Zhao Yanwu handed the invitation back, "Your master's kindness Zhao has received it, Zhao has other things to do today, please contact the chess academy for what your master wants to talk about, Steward Li, please go back, forgive Zhao for not sending it." After speaking, Zhao Yanwu turned around and returned to the table in the courtyard.
"Uh, Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao! My master kindly invited you as a guest, but you can't do this! Unexpectedly, Zhao Yanwu refused when he said he refused, and he didn't even give an excuse and reason, Li Quan was a little anxious, since he entered the Zhou Mansion as a housekeeper, he had never met such a person who did not give face to his master.
Zhao Yanwu ignored him anymore, returned to the table and sat down, and raised his glass to Liu Tienan, "Cousin, don't be disturbed by irrelevant people, let's continue drinking." ”
"You, alas, the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, I don't know what to say about you." Glancing at the Zhou Mansion housekeeper who was shouting outside the courtyard gate, Liu Tienan sighed - even if he didn't want to deal with Zhou Peide, he didn't have to refuse so bluntly, leaving no room at all.
"Hehe, since you know that my temper still takes that effort, should I blame me or yourself?" Zhao Yanwu asked rhetorically,
"Well, I didn't say it, drink." I don't know how many times the cousins have had a conversation like this, and Liu Tienan knows very well what the result will be if he continues to argue, so he no longer refutes, toasts to each other, and only uses the Zhou Mansion housekeeper who is jumping and shouting outside the courtyard gate as a background accompaniment.
The two of them were leisurely drinking and chatting in the courtyard, ignoring the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion who was shouting outside the courtyard gate, but Zhao Yanwu's wife in the house couldn't stay still, and when she walked out of the door, she saw that these two people were only drinking and talking, and couldn't help but feel dissatisfied, "You two just care about your own happiness, aren't you afraid that the child will be woken up?" She reproached the two men.
"Ugh. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really forgot about it. I said what is your name, I haven't already said no, what are you still yelling about? This is not your home, shouting and screaming, what kind of system! Zhao Yanwu's indifference to outsiders does not mean that he does not feel sorry for his son, and was reminded by his wife's complaints, he couldn't help but get anxious, stood up and said to Li Quan.
"Teacher Zhao. My lord sincerely invited, I want to be friends with you, but it's just a dinner party, how can it be better than your sauced meat, peanuts and radishes, why do you refuse to be thousands of miles away, and you don't even want to meet once? Finally waited for Zhao Yanwu to take care of himself, Li Quan hurriedly said.
"You layman, you know what, drink and eat. It's about a state of mind, a good mood, coarse tea and light rice are also delicious dishes, and the mood is not right. The delicacies of the mountains and seas are also the same as chewing wax, this kind of truth will tell you, it is simply playing the piano to the cow, walk quickly. I'm not interested in going to Zhou's mansion, stop shouting. Zhao Yanwu waved his hand again and again, coaxing Li Quan like a fly.
Li Quan was willing to return in vain. tried to persuade Zhao Yanwu vigorously, but he was at a stalemate for a while.
Liu Tienan really couldn't stand it anymore, came to the gate of the courtyard, and stopped Zhao Yanwu, who was already a little about to get angry, "Hey, I said this brother, why are you so unruly about doing things?" People have clearly given a reply, you just have to report the reply to your master truthfully, why chatter and disturb people's quiet? If he continues to be entangled like this, he is just too lazy to move, and has no other meaning, do you have to make him hate and be dissatisfied with your master? He persuaded Li Quan.
"Uh", when Liu Tienan said this, Li Quan's mind also calmed down, the host sent himself to invite guests, and it was just that the guests were not invited, it was someone's problem, but it was his own responsibility to offend the guests.
"Yes, you better go first, my father-in-law is this kind of temper, what he doesn't want to do, it's useless for anyone to say it, please go back and explain it to your master." Zhao Yanwu's wife also interjected and persuaded him.
Seeing that there is no point in continuing to entangle, although Zhao Yanwu is not a powerful figure, he is a well-known person in Yangzhou, this kind of person eats soft and not hard, the more aggressive you are, the more he will stick his neck to the end, and he doesn't dare to really be rude.
"What the hell is going on, why is there such a big fuss?" Li Quan left, Zhao Yanwu's wife asked about the cause of the incident, the so-called husband sings with the wife, in front of outsiders, she will unconditionally support her husband's decision, but in private, she is often worried about her husband's untactful style.
"Yes, it's okay if you don't want to go to Zhou's Mansion as a guest, it's easy to say, just make up an excuse for something to do for a while, it's good to let the family go back and have an explanation, why talk to death, so that people can't come to the stage." Liu Tienan also took the opportunity to beat the side drum and make a small report to his younger siblings.
"If he can't get off the stage, he asked for it, if he is sincere, why not invite him a few days in advance, where is there a carriage waiting outside? Even if it is a singing troupe, you have to let the family have a time to prepare, who does he think of me? Recruit it, wave it away, is he a Qingke raised by the Zhou family?! I didn't scold him, I was already very polite, and I wanted to give him a good face, beautiful him! Zhao Yanwu said indignantly.
"Zhou Peide? Which Zhou Peide? Shouldn't it be the boss of Xinji ticket number? "Just now, Zhao Yanwu's wife was coaxing the child to sleep in the house, and the conversation outside was not heard clearly, and at this time I heard that it was Zhou Peide who invited her husband as a guest, and I couldn't help but be surprised.
"Heh, isn't that him?" Liu Tienan deliberately glanced at his cousin, and said in a long voice--It is said that women have long hair and short knowledge, why is your wife more than you know?
"You're still young, as for being so good?" Knowing that his cousin was taking the opportunity to ridicule himself, he rolled his eyes, and Zhao Yanwu protested.
"Okay, okay, you two cousins, it's uncomfortable not to be funny with each other together, if you want me to say that you two are half a pound and eight taels, don't say anything about anyone, by the way, why is Zhou Peide going to invite you as a guest?" Zhao Yanwu's wife was angry and funny, stopped the two from continuing to argue, and asked curiously.
"That's right, why do you think you have nothing to do with him, he is not the kind of person who is too idle to do anything, please ask you to be in such a hurry, there must be something to ask you, Li Quan didn't say, is it written on the invitation?" Liu Tienan nodded and agreed, remembering that only his cousin had seen the invitation, he hurriedly asked. (To be continued......)
