Chapter 154: Drunken Talk
In October, the weather is getting colder, and the daily cold wind is drilling into people's pores.
"I'm tired of staying in the capital, so it's great to be able to stay in Zhuangzi for a few days." Chu Yueyun stroked his palms and smiled, "I haven't eaten game for a long time, I have to bring my little silver bow, and I want to bake a few little rabbits to eat." ”
As soon as the old lady said that she was going to live in the neighboring village for a few days, Chu Yueyun couldn't wait to echo, she thought about it and said, "I want to beat a few foxes and make a cloak for my grandmother!" ”
"Fourth sister, you are so cruel." Chu Yue sighed twice, "The little rabbit is so cute, are you willing to do it?" ”
"When I ate rabbit heads, I didn't see you eat less, did you?" Chu Yueyun rolled her eyes, "If you don't like to go, you can't go." ”
"Who said I wasn't going?"
"Stop arguing." The old lady said, "I know that you have been a little bored in the Hou Mansion recently, so I took you out for a walk, let's go out for a walk, stay for a few days, and when you come back, you are not allowed to be sad anymore." ”
"Yes." Chu Yueyun responded obediently.
Aunt Xiang said with a smile: "The old lady just takes the three young ladies and Aunt Qian over, and the concubine will take care of it when she is in the Hou Mansion." ”
Chu Yue glanced at Aunt Xiang with some surprise, no one would think of Aunt Qian for this kind of thing before, she was like a person in the Hou Mansion who was forgotten and ignored by everyone, she didn't expect Aunt Xiang to take the initiative to mention it, and there was still a touch in her heart.
"Hmm." The old lady nodded, "I am relieved that you will do things." The affairs of the Hou Mansion will be handed over to you, and you can send someone to inform me at any time. ”
"The concubine understands."
Dispersed from the Spring Garden, Chu Yueyun hugged Chu Yue'an's arm and said, "Let me tell you, you haven't been there before, there are a lot of interesting things in Zhuangzi!" Uncle Li raised a few fine dogs, very smart, you can take them to hunt, there is a forest around Zhuangzi, there are a lot of hares and pheasants in the forest, hunt game and come back, live in the yard, roast, sprinkle salt and seasoning, think very much! By the way, would you dig a bird's nest? I used to find a bird's nest, but I was so unlucky that the big bird flew back and gave me a peck, and almost fell off the tree, and there was a big crab, and there was a stone under the river by the river, and I moved the stone away, and there were many large and small ones in it, and I grabbed it and put it in a basket, and roasted it by the stove, but it was crispy, and I chewed it with a mouthful of fragrant flavor. ”
Looking at this girl's enthusiastic appearance, Chu Yuean couldn't help laughing: "You are really suitable to be a wild girl." ”
"People, it's always like this, the life you yearn for may be tired of others." Chu Yueyun smiled, "By the way, it's very cold at night in Zhuangzi, you bring more clothes, where do I have a fox skin blanket, I'll ask someone to bring it to you later." ”
"Thank you."
Chu Yue'an only took Caixing and Xiaohuai to Zhuangzi, left Caiyue, presided over the affairs of Tianhe Courtyard, and told her to go to Aunt Xiang to discuss things that she couldn't handle.
Early the next morning, everyone in the Hou Mansion got into the carriage and began to go to the Zhuangzi, the location of the Zhuangzi was not remote, and the carriage only walked for more than half a day.
When I got out of the carriage, I saw a plump old woman in her sixties and a group of people from the Zhuangzi to greet her at the intersection.
"I've finally got you, old lady." The old woman happily stepped forward to greet the old lady, "This season has just finished the harvest, and the old slave is thinking that the old lady should come over, so I will look forward to you." ”
She glanced at the girls who got off the carriage, and said, "Say hello to the young ladies." ”
Chu Yueyun and Chu Yue regretted that she had seen it, but she only felt that Chu Yue'an was a little embarrassed, and secretly thought that this should be the second lady, this is not a closed news in the countryside, some things in Ninghou Mansion and Qihou Mansion have been passed over more or less, she didn't ask about the third lady and her wife, beckoned other people to greet the old lady and the young ladies, and then helped the old lady to rush to Zhuangzi.
This Zhuangzi is not big, and there are only a few dozen tenants around, but fortunately, the environment here is beautiful, so the old lady likes it very much.
Chu Yueyun explained to Chu Yue'an in a low voice: "This is the grandmother of this Zhuangzi, who has been with her grandmother for some time before, and is a grandmother's confidant like Grandma Qin, and the relationship between the master and the servant is very good. The man in blue is his son, and the woman in purple is her daughter-in-law. ”
After a pause, Chu Yueyun said again: "The person in gray clothes is Uncle Li, who is very good and likes to indulge us." ”
Mama Sun had already prepared the meal, and said with a smile in front of the old lady: "This is a dumpling made of wheat just ground this year, these are wild vegetables in the mountains, old lady, you have delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, try our coarse tea and light rice, it is also unique!" ”
"You still know me." The old lady said with a smile.
Three or four tables were set up in the courtyard, and several respected elders and large households among the surrounding tenants were invited, and these people all greeted the old lady, and the old lady smiled and asked a few words about the harvest, and said that today's harvest was good, and it was a good year.
Chu Yue'an and the others sat at another table, and Grandma Sun's daughter-in-law, Er Pu, entertained her, with a simple smile on her face: "This is the countryside, since it is not as good as the city, coarse tea and light rice, girls don't dislike it." If the girls are not used to eating, just tell me what you like to eat, and I will let the kitchen cook it for you, and never let the girls be wronged. ”
"We're so delicate there?" Chu Yueyun smiled, "Don't be busy, sit down and eat together." ”
Pu Shi squirmed, but still sat down to eat with everyone, she was a little rude when she ate, Chu Yue was not used to it, and said impatiently: "Sister-in-law Sun, when you eat, don't you chirp?" How do you still eat this? ”
Pu Shi paused for a moment, and put down his rice bowl with some embarrassment: "I'm a countryman, and I'm vulgar, so it must have affected the appetite of the young ladies, I still don't eat it, young ladies eat it, and when you finish eating, I'll eat some of the rest." ”
Her voice was loud, and the people at these tables heard this, except for a few people from their Hou Mansion, the rest of the people at this table could be called countrymen, they worked hard to grow crops, and they never owed the Hou Mansion a penny, and they were actually disgusted because of their identity.
A man immediately put down his chopsticks unhappily: "The ladies of Ninghou Mansion are noble, and they dislike us countrymen, I think we rude countrymen are not worthy of eating with you, right?" ”
"I didn't mean that, I just ......" Chu Yuexi hurriedly explained.
Chu Yue'an coughed, interrupted her words, and smiled lightly: "This big brother misunderstood, we didn't mean that." Sister-in-law Sun is straightforward and fast-talking, misunderstanding the meaning of the fifth sister, if we just made everyone feel uncomfortable, I want everyone to apologize, I will give everyone a drink. ”
Saying that, Chu Yuean poured himself a bowl of wine and drank it all.
The young lady of the Hou family can be so bold, and the other people are not good at saying anything, and they have drunk the wine in the wine bowl, which can be regarded as an unveiling.
Chu Yueyun whispered in Chu Yue'an's ear: "You know now why I said that those two are amazing, right?" I've suffered at their hands before! ”
"They are bold, and they don't think of themselves as slaves at all."
"Not really." Chu Yueyun smiled, "When you come to this Zhuangzi, they are the masters, and the people around them listen to them, but we are guests." But I only come here for a few days a year, and I don't care. ”
At this time, the old lady said with a smile: "My granddaughters, I am used to being pampered on weekdays, and some are open-mouthed, if there is something that offends everyone, don't go to my heart when the big guy looks at my face, these girls have no intentions, and there is no malice." ”
Immediately, an elder said: "The Hou Mansion is very strict, the girls are all well-educated, and the old lady is humble." ”
However, some people immediately disagreed with each other, this person drank more wine, but he was really open-mouthed: "The tutor of the Hou Mansion is very strict, what are you kidding, who doesn't know that their young lady steals people?" This person must know shame, we countrymen know it! ”
The old lady's face sank, and everyone stopped eating and went to see her face.
Someone around immediately stepped forward and persuaded: "Old lady, he is drunk and talking nonsense, don't take it to heart!" What are you still doing in a daze? Don't hurry up and see him carried away, don't let him be embarrassed here. ”
The two men reacted and immediately dragged him away, and the man kept scolding: "What are you dragging me for?" What did I say wrong? The Hou Mansion is that there is a young lady who is unmarried and steals, and this illegitimate cub has come out! ”
Mama Sun was so frightened that her face turned pale: "The country man in the village, he doesn't know the rules, he is drunk and talks nonsense, and when he wakes up, I will teach him a good lesson, the old lady is angry." ”
The old lady Tie Qing's face softened instantly, and she smiled: "What are you doing in a daze?" Eat, can't you even eat for a drunk? I don't take a drunkard's nonsense to heart, everyone sits down, eats, drinks, I finally come here, we have to have fun! ”
Chu Yuexi's face was pale and said to the two sisters: "It's over, it's over, even the people here know it, our Hou Mansion is really ashamed." ”
Chu Yueyun snorted: "Let's sit upright, what are you panicking about?" The more you panic, the more they think we have ghosts! ”
