Chapter 455, Picking
Zhu Heng was not used to drinking this soju, which was expected by Zeng Rong, but it was unexpected by everyone.
Therefore, seeing him frowning and putting down the cup with a look of disgust, he said, "How is this and... Zeng Rong was startled, thinking that he was going to say that this wine was not the same as the taste in the palace, so he hurriedly interrupted him, "This is soju, don't drink it if you are not used to it." ”
"Shochu? What is Soju? Zhu Heng really didn't understand, so he asked casually, and didn't think much about it.
"Shochu is distilled liquor, with a strong flavor and great stamina, and you drink it made of fresh fruit, which has a sweeter taste and a lighter flavor." Zeng Rong explained.
"Zhu Gongzi's first drink?" Zeng Fuxiang couldn't help but ask, his tone was a little rushed.
In fact, what he really wanted to ask was not whether Zhu Heng drank for the first time, what he cared about was why his sister was so familiar with him, it seemed that there was no one else in Zhu Heng's eyes except Ah Rong, what is the relationship between these two?
Don't look at Zhu Heng's noble birth, but Zeng Fuxiang didn't want his sister to marry him, a person with disabled legs, who has been in a wheelchair all his life, this kind of human nature is mostly dull and gloomy, which can be seen from the fact that Zhu Heng has been cold and indifferent when he sees them.
is still so cold in front of the girl's family, what is this going to be like behind their backs, he didn't see a meal, Zeng Rong had to get the dishes out for him first, and even the fish bones had to be cleaned, what is the difference between this and being his maid?
To put it bluntly, don't you just dislike them as rednecks? If you don't want to sit at a table to eat, don't come together, and they didn't beg him to come.
Zeng Fuxiang's mind was full of pictures of Zeng Rong serving Zhu Heng, this sister had already suffered a lot, and he didn't want her to have an easy time after marrying in the future.
Although this surnamed Zhu did help their Zeng family a lot, it seems that it also has a purpose now, otherwise, how could he find a woman like Ah Rong who is so complete and kind-hearted as a disabled person in a wheelchair?
Almost everyone present heard Zeng Fuxiang's tone not good, Chen pulled his sleeve, not wanting him to continue, Zeng Guixiang was glaring at him, Zhu Heng replied to him very calmly, "Hmm." ”
"Big brother, Zhu Gongzi has not been in good health since he was a child, and he can't drink." Zeng Rong answered for Zhu Heng.
This is also a hint to his eldest brother, don't drag him to drink.
"That's the case, Zhu Gongzi is free, we did it." Zeng Guixiang hurriedly took the words.
"Zhu Gongzi, we countrymen have just entered the city not long ago, and we don't understand the rules of your city people, if there is any offense or slow treatment, please forgive me." Zeng Fuxiang also realized that he was out of line.
Anyway, it is a fact that Zhu Heng is kind to the Zeng family, it is also a fact that Zhu Heng is a guest, and he is still a distinguished guest who comes to the door for the first time, and people are willing to sit and dine with them countrymen enough to give them face, what reason does he choose?
Even if the person he wants to calculate is Ah Rong, Ah Rong is now the person next to the emperor, if she is unwilling, who can force her to fail?
Thinking about it this way, Zeng Fuxiang was much calmer.
"It's okay, everyone is free." Zhu Heng was not angry with Zeng Fuxiang, on the contrary, he felt that Zeng Fuxiang was a bit of a brother, much better than Zeng Guixiang.
Zeng Guixiang obviously guessed his identity when he was in the study, so he wanted to please him in every possible way, and the words he said were indecent, he disdained this kind of person.
Although Zeng Guixiang saw Zhu Heng's disdain, he thought it was due to his identity, and the origins of the two were like the difference between the two and mud, so he was even more restrained.
Also restrained are Ouyang Si, Chen's and Zeng Hua, so Zhu Heng's words were not said to Zeng Guixiang, but to these three people.
Zeng Fuxiang had a pure nature and limited knowledge, so he never saw Zhu Heng's true identity, and really thought that he was a disciple of the clan. Rao is like this, he has no intention of climbing, therefore, he is the only person who is the most relaxed in front of Zhu Heng except Zeng Rong.
Zhu Heng also took a fancy to him, so after the first cup of wine, he motioned to Zeng Rong to fill it up for everyone again, and also asked Zeng Rong to pour him a cup of tea, "This cup, I will replace the wine with tea, and welcome the guests from afar, and I thank you too." ”
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, there is Lao Zhu Gongzi who has bothered, and he will do it first as a respect." Ouyang Si hurriedly raised his glass and stood up and drank it all.
Zhu Heng's tea was hot, he only took a sip, and said to Zeng Fuxiang and Chen: "The third cup should be honored to Ah Rong's brother and sister-in-law." ”
Chen also learned from Ouyang Si and stood up in a hurry, she also had tea in her cup, and after leaving it for a while, it was not too hot to her mouth, so she also drank it all.
Zeng Fuxiang also stood up, raised his glass and said: "Zhu Gongzi has a heart, our Ah Rong is a good girl, we were incompetent as a brother before, and we failed to let her live a good life, but now we have to rely on her to pull us, we... ”
"Big brother, there is no need to mention these words, it is rare for everyone to get together and say something happy." Zeng Guixiang got up and interrupted Zeng Fuxiang, he could guess without asking, Zhu Gongzi definitely didn't like to hear these words.
Besides, it was a happy thing for the family to reunite, but mentioning those unpleasant past events at this time will only make everyone more dull and depressed, so why bother?
"yes, say something happy." Zeng Hua didn't want to mention those past events, and she was also worried that she would not be able to control her tears.
"It's better for us Ah Hua, who know how to be sympathetic to adults at a young age." Ouyang Si praised Zeng Hua.
"Brother Ouyang will make fun of me, come, I salute Brother Ouyang, and wish Brother Ouyang the top spot in high school next spring." Zeng Hua always wanted to thank Ouyang Si, he didn't save her alone, but saved the two sisters.
It's just that these words are estimated to have no hope of being said in this life, so I can only use this wine table to confide in a little heart.
"Okay, to borrow our Ah Hua's auspicious words, the top of the list is not daring to think, and if you can be in high school, you will be content." Ouyang Si gave Zeng Hua this face, and he also raised his glass and drank it all.
Because of Ah Hua's joining, the atmosphere at the dinner table gradually became lively, Zeng Guixiang also began to toast with a wine glass, he first saluted Zhu Heng, then Ouyang Si, his brother and sister-in-law, also solemnly toasted Zeng Rong with a glass, and said: "In the past, the second brother also has a word, and it seems that the day." ”
"Okay, we'll wait for you." Zeng Rong responded with a smile.
After a few rounds of toasting, Zeng Rong saw Zhu Heng put down his chopsticks, knowing that he had finished his meal, and also knowing that he didn't like to be with so many people, so he picked up his wine glass and said goodbye.
This trip was not short, and she still came out with Chang Dezi's token, but she did not get the emperor's approval, and she was a little uneasy.
Besides, she should be on duty tomorrow, but what to do, the emperor has not yet spit out, and she still needs to go back and ask for one or two.
Although everyone felt a little disappointed, they also knew that she couldn't help herself, and they were afraid that she would be embarrassed, so they didn't keep her.
