Chapter 124: Uninvited Guest
When the Ma family's new workshop was completed, Siming also went to see it, and a group of people were lively and lively, cutting the ribbon and revealing the red. At the banquet, I saw Lin Liang, who I hadn't seen for a long time, dressed in brand new clothes, and he was no longer the prodigal son he used to be, if he hadn't happened to see him pinching the young woman's buttocks, Siming really thought that he had changed his dog to eat shit and do things well.
Not long after the banquet, he took Siming back to his house, took a good breath, and then said to Siming, "Third brother, why can't I see you recently, when I went to Bihua Pavilion, Ah Wu always said that your house in the south of the city was busy renovating the house, and if the house is finished now, he won't let me take a look." ”
"Well, wait until this is over, you can go over with me in the evening, get some wine and food in Bihua Pavilion, and eat over there." Siming didn't plan to continue to shirk, and sooner or later he had to let him go.
When the two went to Siming's new house in the evening, Mingxin also followed and took a hanging painting as a gift. It was cold in the house, and only one cook answered the door.
Pinyuan was already a little afraid of the dark, but when he entered the yard, he felt a little uncomfortable, so he lit up the lamp given by the cook, and talked more to the two people behind him to ease the atmosphere.
When walking through the courtyard, Pinyuan always felt that there were people in the wing, and couldn't help but ask Siming, "Are there any guests in the wing?" Why do I always hear voices inside? ”
Siming wondered, Cong Wu should have left two days ago, at this time the wing room should be empty, but the intuition has always been extremely accurate, this empty house, there are even people who are worried about it.
"If there are any guests, what kind of wild cats or something, it's cold outside, let's go to the house to eat." Since he had already entered the urn, Siming did not plan to catch turtles in front of the two, so he carried the food box and went to the hall to eat.
I called the cook to clean up again, and the cook who has always been cheerful may have never seen guests from this house, and she is a little slurred in her words and actions.
After the three of them moved into the hall, Pin Yuan handed a purse to Siming and said, "This jade rough stone, I have already asked people to see it, it is a good stone, and it is good to do anything at will." Many of my things were brought back by you for me from the outside, and it is not appropriate to give them to you again, this stone was obtained by accident, and I have treasured it for a long time, and I will give it to you by taking this opportunity, and it will not be in vain for us to be good for a long time. ”
Siming took the purse, thanked Pinyuan, and pushed the two of them to have a few drinks, and made up some things about going to Zhangcheng this time. Pin Yuan heard that this road was dangerous, and he also sweated for Siming, and kept saying that he would give him some more silver to reward Siming this year.
Speaking of silver, Ming Xin, who had been sitting on the side, suddenly had something to say, "The sixth aunt is not very satisfied with this year's silver, she said that last year's was not made up, and the family could not live." ”
This is the first time Ming Xin has said this, and Pinyuan was also surprised, and asked with concern, "Did the fourth uncle say anything at home?" ”
"When I went, the fourth uncle didn't look at it, but only asked me if I went to the seventh uncle's house, and I said no, he stopped talking, and I don't know what he would say after reading it." Mingxin said truthfully.
Siming didn't interject, just ate some vegetables on the side, waiting for Pin Yuan to pick up, Pin Yuan was the least able to deal with the group of elders, and stared at Siming with blank eyes, and asked, "Third brother, what do you say about this?" If they make a fuss like last year's annual meeting, it won't end well. ”
"Uncle Ma always has a way, don't think too much, but Mingxin should have told Uncle Ma earlier and prepared early." Siming doesn't plan to interfere, there are two seasons a year that are easy to use, one is to sell tea, the other is to divide silver, and the rest can only depend on fate.
Ming Xin understood the meaning, and said, "I'm also afraid that the uncle will be unhappy when he hears it, so I haven't said it, and I'll talk to him later." ”
"Mingxin, I'll go with you tomorrow, third brother, will you be there tomorrow." Pinyuan has always relied on Siming very much, and always hopes that he can rest assured when he is on the side.
Siming frowned, and said with some embarrassment, "There are just some things to do tomorrow, if Uncle Ma doesn't call me, I won't go." ”
Pinyuan had to give up, said something else, and returned to the house in the north of the city with Mingxin.
After seeing off the guests, Siming finally had time to deal with the uninvited guest, took the lamp and walked to the side room, and when he opened the door, he was dressed in red, lying on the soft couch where Cong Wu had slept before.
Seeing the strange appearance of the cook, Siming knew that there was a self-proclaimed 'guest' in this wing, but he didn't expect it to be this woman who had already said that she would leave and never come back.
Siming didn't plan to enter the door again, leaned against the door of the wing room, and said, "What evil wind has blown you here again." The woman laughed, got up and said, "How dare you call your boss the Evil Wind?" If this is to be spread, the job will not be guaranteed. ”
"Uncle Ma?" Siming frowned, there was no need to hire Jianghu people in the tea garden at this time, didn't he still let go of his suspicions, and sent someone to monitor him, the woman in front of him was thinking about the life-saving grace that she thought she was repaying the kindness, and when she thought about it like this, the woman laughed again.
The woman pinched Siming's face, pulled her shoes out of the door, sat down in the courtyard, and said to Siming, "You are still suspicious of each other, why is this so painful, the sky is about to fall." If you can go to our hall to invite someone, it is naturally the Long family, I came with my mother, I just arrived here this afternoon, and I quit my brothers to come to see you in the evening, and I will leave tomorrow. ”
The woman's words were completely unfamiliar to Siming, and she didn't care about the woman's pinching of her face, so she carried the lamp, sat down, and asked, "What happened to the Long family?" ”
The woman settled down and said, "The rivers and lakes have the rules of the rivers and lakes, and I can't talk nonsense about this, and I can't do it to you." As for the man in the original wing, I've been here for so long, and I haven't seen him come back, and he lost a lot of wine to him last time, so he doesn't want it. ”
Siming had never been sure what this woman was thinking, so he could only go with her, and replied, "I left two days ago, he came and went invisibly, and you don't want to chase it." ”
"Who's going to chase him." The woman replied casually, put her head under the stone table, groped, took out a jar of wine, called the cook, gave some broken silver to cut some meat and vegetables outside, and came back.
Siming then remembered that this cook was obviously invited later, should she not know her, how could she come in directly, this cook who opened the door casually, couldn't stay, grabbed the wine jar, and asked, "How did you let her open the door." ”
The woman didn't like her wine being robbed, and replied unhappily, "I'll just say it's your friend, you give me the wine first, and it won't delay the story." ”
is another alcoholic, Siming found that if he has something to do with the rivers and lakes, he can let go of other things, drinking is the most important thing, and the same is true of the cousin who started to get drunk after drinking.
Siming returned the wine, but was urged by the woman to get the bowl. No, I had to go to the kitchen and get her a bowl.
The woman saw it, but she was not satisfied, and said unhappily, "Why do you take your own and mine, this is the wine I bought." ”
Siming put the bowl on the table and said, "I don't drink it, you just drink it." ”
The woman scratched Siming's nose and said with a smile, "Disappointing, then I'll drink it myself, don't be greedy when the time comes." ”
Siming didn't like to drink, and she didn't like her to move her hands and feet, so the patience just now turned into a cloud, dissipated, and got up and went back to the house.
As soon as he was halfway there, he was stopped by the woman and said, "You are in such a hurry to go to bed, and you are not afraid of missing the drunken mantra?" If I reveal something, it's worth more than a pearl. ”
Taking the bait to fish, Siming became more and more unaware of what medicine was sold in the woman's gourd, so he simply went back to see what she wanted to say.
"I knew you were going to come back." After the woman finished speaking, she was about to pinch Siming again, but Siming held her wrist and said, "If you do this again, I'll go back." ”
The woman withdrew her hand, and happened to see the cook come back from outside, rewarded the rest of the copper plates, took the meat and vegetables, and began to eat, saying while eating, "I knew that you didn't eat, so I drank it myself, I only knew from the Long family that Miss Liang was your opponent, and the last time she was at Li Ming's place, she was not afraid, it turned out to be like this." ”
"Don't talk about this, let's talk about what the Long family is looking for you to do first?"
"You're a monkey anxious, even if you're a friend chatting and talking, you have to take your time." The woman poured herself a bowl of wine, took a sip, and said, "Good wine!" Although the Long family's wine is also good, they still drink freely. After speaking, the woman pushed the wine jar to Siming again, smiled stupidly, and said, "You pour it for me, I'm a little drunk." ”
Siming took the wine jar and gave the woman a bowl, and felt that she was entertaining herself with the news of the Long family, so she couldn't help but be a little angry, and asked the cook to bring another bowl over and bring a bowl for herself.
When the woman saw it, she became happy, patted Siming's shoulder, and said, "This is the way of hospitality, come, don't get drunk and don't return." ”
After a bowl, Siming was also a little fluttering, holding the bowl to his chest with a red face, saying that he didn't drink anything, and just blindly urged the woman to talk about the Long family, but the words were also unclear, and they were all swirling on their tongues.
Before the woman reached Xingtou, she naturally refused to speak, and broke Siming's bowl again, added a bowl to Siming, and said loudly, "It's a man who did this bowl!" Tell you what they're going to do. ”
The already dizzy man, how could he withstand the temptation, drained the wine in the bowl in one gulp, stood up and said, "Say! Don't say it's a puppy! After a burst of laughter, the woman fell on the table.
Seeing Siming lying on the table, the woman got up and whispered to Siming, "They are on the same page with the Zhao family, if it is fast, there will be a result at the end of this year, if you want to spend it safely, you should go out at the end of the year and find a way out, so as not to get involved in this whirlpool and not be able to get out." ”
After the woman finished speaking, she went to drink another bowl of wine, and when the wine was exhausted, she went to think about it again, and found that he had fallen asleep on the table, so she had to help him to the bed, and she went to drink the rest of the wine again, and left in the night.
When Siming woke up again, he couldn't remember exactly what happened last night, and when he went to the side room, he didn't find any trace of that person, and when he asked the cook again, he only said that he left overnight last night, and drinking was the most mistaken!
