Chapter 351: Persuasion of Alcohol
Sweetwater Alley suddenly heard a crackling sound of firecrackers, attracting many people to visit.
I saw the most jumping matchmaker with a smug smile on her face, and told the guy holding firecrackers next to her not to hurt anyone.
Liu Dacai, who accompanied him, not only did not have a smile on his face, but his eyes flashed with sadness.
A group of people carried eighteen dowries, blew suona, and walked to the door of the Lin Mansion but stopped
Seeing this, Bai Cui, who was guarding the gatehouse, ran to report to the master's house.
The incident happened suddenly, and Father Lin suddenly heard about it, and was pleasantly surprised and ordered the housekeeper to prepare the silver for the reward, so he greeted it in person.
When the matchmaker saw the point, she recognized at a glance that the old man in the lead was Old Man Lin, and said with a smile: "Old Man Lin, congratulations, my Qin matchmaker was entrusted by Liu Mansion to accompany Liu Sanye to your mansion for employment, and your mansion will quickly open the door to welcome the recruitment." ”
Father Lin is also a person who has been through a lot of things, and he knows that this dowry must not stay in front of the door for too long, otherwise others will think that the Lin family is dissatisfied with this family affair and deliberately makes it difficult!
He glanced at the third child of the Liu family, his temperament was still the same as before, he didn't even say hello, and said with a smile: "The two are distinguished guests in my house, and they should open the door to welcome them, please come here!" With that, he turned half sideways and gave way to the road.
Seeing that he understood the rules so well, Mrs. Qin didn't make it difficult at all, and the folds on her face were even more layered, and she waved to signal the guys to carry the dowry behind her.
Liu Dacai took two steps forward after realizing it, shouted "Uncle Lin" to Father Lin, and laughed awkwardly twice.
Father Lin smiled and nodded in response, "Liu Xian's nephew, please", which can be regarded as giving enough face.
Peach and Xi'er had already received the news, that is, they were surprised and surprised, the two sisters looked at each other and smiled, held hands and trotted forward to see the excitement.
Eighteen dowry gifts were neatly stacked in the courtyard of the inner courtyard, Liu Dacai handed over the dowry list to Daddy Lin for docking, after a busy while, Daddy Lin was afraid that someone would go down the way, and he was not at ease when he handed it over to his subordinates, and he looked at Peach and Xi'er also watching the excitement on the side. Prudently leave the care of the dowry to the two of them.
Peach and Xi'er suddenly carried a heavy burden, although nervous, but not incompetent, the two nodded in unison and promised: "Daddy, don't worry!" The daughter must have jailed the eldest sister's dowry. ”
The Qin matchmaker on the side looked at the daughters of the Lin Mansion who were more generous than the other, and enthusiastically praised the two of them, and took the opportunity to get close to Father Lin, asking if the relationship between the two had been settled.
Daddy Lin was not stupid, he didn't say it directly, and vaguely invited the two to the front hall for tea.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Lin Mei, who was busy in the East Market, had already received the news of the dowry gift from the Liu family, and the stewards said hello one after another and urged her to go back.
Lin Mei didn't care to work after hearing this, closed the account book, and said with a smile: "Then that's all for today, I'll take the account book back to the house first, and when I read it, we'll discuss it." ”
The stewards expressed their interest in saying that they were not in a hurry, and let her go home with peace of mind.
……
“…… I haven't seen him for a few years, but I see that the virtuous nephew is much more stable, and he does things in a measured manner, and he acts very safely, but the amount of alcohol is also a little worse. Could it be that the nephew and daughter-in-law are strictly not allowed to drink? Or is it not to your liking? After Daddy Lin finished speaking, he asked for a good Jinhua wine to be replaced by Yahuan who was waiting on the side.
People like to be held, not to mention the old men, Liu Dacai saw that he praised himself for his profits, and he took it seriously, and he couldn't help but smile proudly, but as soon as the words Feng turned to mention that he was afraid of guilt, his old face was hot, and he secretly sighed in his heart that ginger was old and spicy, and even the fear of guilt could let him see it, so he was stunned for half a second, and explained: "Uncle Lin misunderstood, misunderstood, this wine is very good, but before going out, my mother told me to do this errand well, so I don't dare to be greedy." ”
Liu Fang's personality, can Daddy Lin still be unclear?!
He didn't expose it, and said sincerely: "The first time the virtuous nephew comes to the door, you don't have to be restrained, our two families are now in-laws, and in my house it is like being in my own house, you can drink as much as you want, and the most important thing for my Lin family is good wine and good food." ”
The two of them were in a hurry, and poured a few more glasses one after another, until Yahuan changed the flask again.
Father Lin calmly picked up the new wine jug and poured another glass, pointed to the mellow fragrance coming out of the wine glass, and said with a smile: "This is a special tribute Jinhua, this is not drunk outside, although it burns the knife so strong, but the taste is mellow, and the aftertaste is fragrant, nephew Xian may wish to taste it." ”
Liu Dacai smelled the aroma of the wine, and knew that this was definitely a first-class wine, and thought that he said that this was a special tribute wine, and the wine worms in his stomach scratched up, and he was hungry for a long time, how could he bear it, he picked up the wine glass and led it down, a mellow fragrance entered the stomach, and suddenly felt that the wine glass was too small, just a small sip that could be enjoyable, smiled and praised the good wine, and sighed that the small cup was not enjoyable.
As if he had guessed earlier, Daddy Lin asked Yahuan to change the big bowl.
Liu Dacai just gurgled and three bowls in a row, which was too enjoyable.
Although the wine is good, it is also easy to get on the head, Liu Dacai put down the three bowls of his stomach, put aside the worries in his heart, and patted Daddy Lin to say Uncle Lin's words freely.
Daddy Lin has indeed refined the amount of alcohol over the years, and after more than a dozen glasses, he was only slightly drunk, and he saw that he had almost drunk before he got to the point: "...... Before I came, I didn't send anyone to find out, how could Dawu still be so unreliable, his nephew suddenly came to the door, and there was no preparation at home, and he was lazy and nephew Haihan. ”
Liu Dacai was on the rise, his head was hot, and he said straightly: "You can't blame my eldest brother for this, ...... He is now sick in bed, and it is not certain when he will be well. Even the matter of hiring is my second brother and sister-in-law, and the old lady agrees......"
Father Lin's face was full of shock, for fear that he would hear something wrong, and confirmed: "What are you talking about, Dawu is sick?" Seriously not? Can you ask Lang to be treated? ”
Liu Dacai was obviously already drunk, and subconsciously said: "It's not very serious, on the day I returned to Beijing, I was carried into the house, Lang Zhong was helpless, and when I came, he was still unconscious." ”
Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something, and suddenly became excited again, and said: "Uncle, my eldest brother was injured to save the eldest prince, what do you think he thinks!" He actually sacrificed his life to save the eldest prince, and that was the leader of the rebel army......"
These words echoed in Daddy Lin's mind, and he was so anxious, the first thought was: Could it be that the Liu family just wants Lin Mei to go to Chongxi!
When Lin Mei rushed back to the house, she happened to hear this clearly.
Liu Dawu's illness is really timely! Lin Mei muttered like a mirror in her heart, but she looked at Father Lin's bad face, afraid that he would feel uncomfortable, but she also knew that this matter was not easy to persuade, so she had to let him misunderstand.
But this wine never let the two of them drink it again, and hurriedly beckoned Yahuan to help the drunk Liu Dacai to the guest room to settle down.
Only then did he persuade Father Lin to go back to the house to rest and sober up.
Father Lin was so anxious that in front of Lin Mei, he pointed in the direction of Chang'an, and scolded, saying that the Liu family was uneasy and kind, and scolded Liu Fang's evil intentions......
Lin Mei said a lot of things, so she persuaded him, and said: "What kind of temper do you have all the time, this family matter is a gift from the emperor, even if Liu Dawu is not sick, I don't have to enter the door of the Liu family." Besides, we don't know what the situation is on Liu Dawu's side, the people of the Liu family are still there, you are scolding at this time, and it is another incident when it reaches the ears of Mrs. Liu. ”
