Zhu Heng and Zeng Rong gave nature one by one and received nature by the other, but the two brothers who were watching from the side felt unnatural.

However, the two brothers didn't say anything, Zeng Fuxiang was afraid of causing Ouyang Si's misunderstanding, and Zeng Guixiang was afraid of Zhu Heng's identity.

When a few people came out, the table of the Eight Immortals in the hall was already full of dishes, and several people in Jiangnan ran to the side room, and even Uncle Qin went out, leaving only Chen and Ah Hua to set up the dishes.

Theoretically, this meal should not be served by the Chen family and Zeng Rong sisters, because there are outsiders. But Zeng Fuxiang felt sorry for Ah Rong, it was rare for the two brothers and sisters to meet once, and it was even more rare to have a meal together, the last time the family sat down to eat together was the Lantern Festival, and it has been more than half a year; second, there are no elders in the family, so a few peers get together, and no one criticizes them for being a little out of line; The three originally said that the family was to wash the dust for Ouyang Si and congratulate him on moving to a new house, but there were not many people, so there was no need to divide two tables.

Zeng Rong can be on the table, and it is not bad for Zeng Hua and Chen.

Zhu Heng was undoubtedly invited to the upper seat, there was still a vacant seat next to him, and Ouyang Si should be invited to sit down, but Ouyang Si knew Zhu Heng's identity, how could he dare to sit on an equal footing with him?

Seriously, if it weren't for the fear of rudeness, he wouldn't want to serve this meal!

Ouyang Si insisted on not sitting, and there was no reason for Zeng Fuxiang to sit, fortunately, there were not many people, there were only seven people in total, so Zeng Fuxiang and the Chen family sat at the bottom, Zeng Rong sisters to the west, and Ouyang Si and Zeng Guixiang to the east.

Because Zeng Rong knew Zhu Heng's dining rules, he wouldn't pick up the dishes himself, nor would he spit out fish bones, let alone put vegetables on the same plate with so many people.

Therefore, before the meal began, Zeng Rong first used a clean new plate to pick a few vegetarian dishes and put them in front of him, she also knew that her behavior would bring unhappiness to everyone, and explained with a smile: "The rules learned in the palace, they all eat like this. ”

"Yes, yes, the Xu family is like this, they don't pick up their own vegetables, they are all maids standing aside and picking up vegetables." Zeng Hua echoed.

"Then, that, then we, shouldn't we go down?" Chen was already restless, but when he heard this, he twisted his body to go down.

"Sister-in-law, you can sit in peace, otherwise, the eldest brother and eldest sister should not be able to eat well." Zeng Hua held her down.

"Wine, wine, I'll pour wine, it's rare for distinguished guests to come to the door, and when you meet the joy of housewarming, how can you have no wine?" Zeng Guixiang stood up.

"It's warm in the pot." Chan got up and went to fetch it.

Zhu Heng glanced at Zeng Guixiang and said to Ouyang Si: "Today is for Ouyang Gongzi to wash the dust and housewarming, I came in a hurry, there is no congratulatory gift, please forgive me, I will make up for it next time." ”

"Zhu Gongzi laughed, it is an honor for Zhu Gongzi to come." Ouyang Si smiled back.

Zeng Rong saw that he was still a little restrained, and said with a smile: "Actually, today's meal was arranged by Zhu Gongzi, so we will borrow flowers to offer Buddha and give a cup to Brother Ouyang, one is to catch the wind and the other is to move in." ”

After speaking, Zeng Rong took the wine jug from Chen's hand and wanted to pour it for Ouyang Si, Ouyang Si picked up the wine glass and dodged it, "Ah Rong, have you forgotten the order, how can there be a reason to pour the wine without pouring it for the distinguished guests of the host first?" ”

Zhu Heng saw that Ah Rong was a "Zhu Gongzi" to him, but he was a "Ouyang Big Brother" to Ouyang Si, and he was already a little tasteful, but when he heard Ouyang Si also call Zeng Rong "Ah Rong", he was even more dissatisfied in his heart, but he couldn't say this dissatisfaction, but he didn't want to eat alone, so he looked at Zeng Rong with a little grievance.

Zeng Rong wanted to persuade Ouyang Si to put the cup away again, but suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhu Heng's gaze, and hurriedly turned to him, after reading the grievances in his eyes, Zeng Rong couldn't help but smile and poured him a glass of wine, and instructed: "I don't know how much you drink, drink less, drink slowly." ”

"You're so hospitable?" Zeng Fuxiang took the wine jug in Zeng Rong's hand and said to Zhu Heng: "Master Zhu, my sister is not sensible, you are free, you just want to have fun drinking." ”

"Big brother, I'll sift the bar." Zeng Guixiang saw that his brother couldn't speak, so he hurriedly snatched the wine jug and poured it for Ouyang Si first.

Ouyang Si didn't say anything this time.

Because the Chen family was still breastfeeding, Ah Hua was a child, and Zeng Rong was going back to the palace to go to the emperor's side on an errand in a while, and he couldn't drink it, so there were only four men on the table with wine in their cups.

"Come, I'll propose a toast first. Welcome Zhu Gongzi and Ouyang Gongzi, both of whom are distinguished guests and our benefactors, I thank you here, on behalf of our whole family, I sincerely thank you. Zeng Fuxiang stood up, raised his glass with both hands and said.

At this moment, it is impossible for him not to think of the past, thinking of the scene when Ah Rong was brought back, the scene when his mother took his hand and entrusted his three younger brothers and sisters to him before he took his breath, the scene when Ah Rong left Beijing, and the scene when they saw Uncle Qin and heard Uncle Qin say to take them into Beijing...

There are too many fragments, ashamed, moved, helpless, confused, remorseful, painful...

Zeng Fuxiang burst into tears.

Ouyang Si saw that Zhu Heng didn't squeak, and several of the Zeng brothers and sisters' eyes also turned red, so he had to stand up and take the words by himself, "It's all over, there is no need to mention the word benefactor, no matter who encounters this kind of thing, they will reach out." Our Ah Rong can have today, relying on her own wisdom and diligence, you can rest assured, as the old saying goes, the hard work comes hard, and the future will definitely get better and better. ”

"Yes, I agree, the past is gone, and the days to come will definitely get better and better, come, the first glass of wine, the seven of us toast together, sister-in-law and Ah Rong Ahua replace the wine with tea." After speaking, Zeng Guixiang personally poured tea for the three women.

"When I first saw you today, I didn't want to say more, since I mentioned the past, I also have a sentence, you should be glad that you have such a good sister." Zhu Heng also raised his glass.

Uh, what's going on? Zeng Fuxiang couldn't understand it, and looked at Zhu Heng stupidly.

"Come, it's rare for everyone to sit together, the first glass of wine, I wish each of us all the best in our hearts, better and better." Zeng Rong glared at Zhu Heng and said.

"That's good, that's good, everyone is getting better and better, and their wishes come true." Zeng Guixiang took the conversation.

Zhu Heng saw that everyone didn't drink just a toast, and they all looked at him, and he realized that everyone was waiting for him.

So, he also raised his glass, took a sip, and felt that the taste was not very like, so he put the wine glass down, "How is this wine and ... ”

Zeng Rong knew that he rarely drank alcohol in the palace, and he knew that he was not in good health, he took medicine all the year round, and no one dragged him to drink, unless he caught up with the birthday of the queen mother, emperor or queen, he had to mean it, and he would only pour him a little fruit wine.

But the wine I bought this time was soju made of sorghum rice, and the taste and purity were different from fruit wine, and Zhu Heng didn't like it, which was also expected by Zeng Rong.
