Chapter 26: Discovery of Hot Springs (5)
Ye Mengmeng pounced with cheers, picked up a knife and fork, and skillfully cut the rabbit meat.
The old Lin Tou, who was standing on the side and waiting, was not surprised. Originally, he still wanted to help the young lady cut the meat, but seeing that the young lady was familiar with the way and was more sophisticated than him, he smiled and said: "The two masters are eating, and the old slave is going to pour two cups of fruit wine?" ”
"Just one cup." Ye Chengxuan hurriedly said, "The eldest lady is a girl's family, and she doesn't drink!" ”
"Who says girls don't drink?" Ye Mengmeng waved her hand boldly. "One cup or two is too little, bring a jar to Miss Ben."
"Hug an altar?" Old Lin Tou was amused. "Miss, don't you dare to hold a jar, if Miss gets drunk, wouldn't it be bad? The old lady is going to punish the old slave. After saying that, he smiled and turned to leave.
"Will I get drunk? It's a joke! ”
Ye Mengmeng said vaguely while chewing the rabbit meat in her mouth.
After a while, Lao Lin Tou really came out with a jar of wine, but the jar was very small, about the size of a modern beer bottle.
poured two cups respectively and handed them to the two masters, and Lao Lin Tou did not forget to say a few words.
"Miss, this is fruit wine made from wild fruits in the mountains, it's full of energy, Miss don't drink too much."
"Don't worry, it's okay."
Ye Mengmeng took the wine glass, handed a glass to Ye Chengxuan, then raised the wine glass and said with a smile: "Big brother, today is a special day, let's have a toast to my brother and sister." I wish us a great fortune soon, haha! ”
Make a fortune? Ye Chengxuan smiled bitterly, the little sister was only afraid that she was dreaming. But the girl's interest was so high, he couldn't bear to dampen her enthusiasm, so he just touched the wine glass lightly, which was a response.
Ye Chengxuan is not in a good mood, the future of the Hou Mansion is confused, how can he, the son of the Hou Mansion, carry forward the Hou Mansion? He hasn't thought about this yet.
As for Ye Mengmeng, she was full of ambition, secretly planning in her heart while drinking sweet fruit wine.
Brother and sister, you have a cup and I have a cup, each thinking about their hearts, and unconsciously drank the jar of fruit wine.
By the time the old Lin and his family came in to clean up the mess, the two masters had already fallen to the ground drunk, and the eldest lady was still singing loudly.
"Pour the first glass of wine, my heart is in turmoil, as long as you drink with me, let me get drunk so quickly, this feeling will ...... forever"
The old man and the old man were dumbfounded, and couldn't help but look at each other.
Drunk like this, they will never be able to return to the capital today, so the old couple has to clean up the two best rooms for the two masters to rest.
Early in the morning of the second day, after breakfast, Ye Mengmeng took her eldest brother to the back mountain, planning to explain it to her eldest brother on the spot.
Following the road she came back from yesterday, the brother and sister walked one foot deep and one foot shallow, and their trouser legs and skirts were stained with a lot of mud.
I finally arrived at the place, and when I saw it, I was dumbfounded. Where are there any hot spring exits? It was clearly a wet low-lying, not to mention it, and there was not even a single rat hole in sight.
Ye Mengmeng scratched her head and was puzzled.
"Hell, I remember it was here? How could it be gone? ”
Ye Chengxuan reminded her: "Could it be that you remember the wrong way?" ”
"No, it won't." Ye Mengmeng looked up and looked around, and suddenly saw the big tree, and said happily, "Big brother, look at that tree, I also carved an arrow on it." ”
She couldn't wait to lift her skirt and ran over, sparing the trunk of the tree to look around, but she didn't even see half an arrow, and she was stunned for a while.
"What's going on?"
Ye Chengxuan sighed. It is estimated that my sister wants to get rich and came up with an illusion...... couldn't bear to splash her cold water, and said euphemistically: "Little sister, let's go back first, go back and discuss it carefully, and see how Zhuangzi ...... in the future."
Ye Mengmeng stared at him, and suddenly said, "Big brother, I know what's going on." ”
"How?"
"It must be the wrong entrance. This can only be the exit, and the import must be in another place, which is the hot spring pool. Let's go, big brother, let's go to the pool and have a look......"
Ye Chengxuan: ......
It seems that the girl is really crazy about that hot spring! Hurriedly grabbed the sister and persuaded: "Little sister, the eldest brother already knows, don't go to see it, the pool is sitting there anyway, you can't run, don't worry about it for the time being." I didn't return last night, and my father and mother must be very worried, so why don't you go back to the capital first? ”
"But ......" Ye Mengmeng still didn't give up.
"Don't be, good sister, listen to the eldest brother. No matter how miraculous the hot spring is, don't we have no money in our hands now? The hot spring villa you mentioned won't be built for a while. It's better for us to go back to the house first, discuss with my father and mother, and then talk about it after raising enough money. Do you think it's good? ”
Ye Chengxuan's idea was that the little sister was already a little insane if she wanted to get rich, so she had to trick her back to the capital first.
Ye Mengmeng thought about it and felt that the eldest brother had a point, so she had to give up.
Ye Chengxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and the brother and sister packed up the carriage and set off for Beijing.
After returning to the capital, the Hou Ye and his wife were really worried that they didn't sleep all night, and when they saw their children coming back, they were relieved.
Ye Mengmeng couldn't wait to tell her father and mother about the hot spring.
Hou Ye and his wife heard it in a fog, and looked at their son with straight eyes.
Ye Chengxuan hurriedly said: "Little sister, you better go back to your house first, I will explain the matter of the hot spring to my father and mother." This matter cannot be rushed, and needs to be considered in the long run. ”
Ye Mengmeng thought about it, yes, where can people who have done great things since ancient times succeed so easily? She hasn't even exhausted her muscles and hungry her body!
Thinking like this, he hurriedly said goodbye to his father and eldest brother, ran back to his small courtyard, and plunged into the study, intending to draw a picture of the concept of the villa.
In the hall, watching his beloved daughter rushing to the backyard, Hou Ye and his wife were a little confused, and turned around and asked their son: "Why did this girl Mengmeng go to Zhuangzi and become crazy?" ”
Ye Chengxuan sighed, so he briefly told what happened in Zhuangzi yesterday.
The husband and wife looked at each other as they listened.
"Master, this child, Meng Meng, has he not recovered from the stimulation?" Wen burst into tears.
Hou Ye's face was melancholy, and he sighed: "Although the child's behavior was a little abnormal when she came back, it was quite normal, I thought she had become sensible, who knew that she still had a knot in her heart." ”
"Master, Mengmeng, this child, is she worried that she will not have a dowry when she gets married?" Wen was sad and weeping, but he couldn't help but count the princess. "Isn't it all your fault? If you weren't greedy for gambling, how could you lose all your family property? ”
Hou Ye lowered his head, extremely guilty.
Ye Chengxuan was silent for a while and said: "Mother, the past is over, it's useless for you to complain about your father, now you have to find a way to see what to do in the future?" ”
