Chapter 199: No Self-Knowledge
Fugui, what do you look like, you haven't asked your aunt and brother and sister yet. Qian looked at Zhang Fugui angrily and said.
"Auntie...... Hiccup. Zhang Fugui said with a hiccup.
As a result, eating fish and meat was stuck, and Zhang Fuguika's neck stretched out.
"Son, what's wrong with you, son?" Qian saw Zhang Fugui's appearance. suddenly rushed forward and hugged Zhang Fugui and shook it.
"Drink some vinegar." Liu Meiniang brought a cup of vinegar with her hands and feet.
Zhang Fugui took two sips, and the fish bones finally went down.
"Ouch, you eat slowly, starving ghosts, no one will rob you." Qian slapped Zhang Fugui in the face.
But there was not a hint of blame in his tone.
"Fifth brother, brother and sister, have you eaten it?" Zhang Li saw that Zhang Fugui had returned to normal, and asked with a straight expression.
Before, she had a good personality, which made the Qian couple think that she was easy to bully, but now she also figured out that if she continued like this, the Qian couple would gain even more inches.
"I've eaten my sister-in-law."
When Qian heard that Zhang Li gave her a good face, the smile on his face became even stronger.
"That'll do." Zhang Li really stood up at this time, and he didn't want to be a peasant woman at all, and there was a trace of majesty on her body.
"Second sister-in-law,"
"Is there anything you guys are doing this time?" When Zhang Tianming and his wife came in, Liu Meiniang didn't raise her head and kept staring at her hands. It's not that she's not polite, but for such a superb relative. Liu Meiniang didn't even want to do superficial work, so she simply ignored their existence.
After the Qian greetings were finished, Liu Meiniang got straight to the point and asked directly.
"Come and see you, Ji Rin is back, aren't we also happy, everyone is relatives and often walks around." Qian rolled his eyes and said with a smile.
And Zhang Tianming watched Zhang Fugui eat, and he swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and the food on the table smelled very good.
"Dandan, get a pair of chopsticks for the fifth uncle." Zhang Tianming thought so, so he did so, and said to Zhang Dandan arrogantly.
"Hmph." Zhang Dandan turned his head coldly, not wanting to look at Zhang Tianming.
There are guests at home, or relatives, and it stands to reason that they should be well entertained. But thinking of what Zhang Tianming and his wife did before, Zhang Dandan was disgusted.
"Dandan." Qian looked at Zhang Dandan still sitting in his seat indifferently, and he was also a little dissatisfied in his heart.
Liu Meiniang's food at home is also too good, there are chickens, ducks and fish on the table, and the food is still white-flour steamed buns, and the envy and jealousy in Qian's heart are ah.
"Fifth aunt, there are chopsticks in the kitchen, you can take them yourself." Liu Meiniang said lightly, in terms of shamelessness, there is really nothing comparable to the Qian family.
"This kid." Qian's tone of reproach, but she didn't dare to attack Liu Meiniang, she knew how powerful Liu Meiniang was, so she finally got up and went to get the dishes and chopsticks.
Seeing the Qian family of four eating as if no one was around, Liu Meiniang and the others had long lost their appetite.
"Eat, eat, you're welcome." Qian didn't forget to say hello. Zhang Mudan was also forcibly stuffed with a pair of chopsticks in Qian's hand, but Zhang Mudan knew the purpose of his trip. So he sat aside with chopsticks, thinking that he must not annoy Liu Meiniang's family, otherwise his plan will be ruined again today.
"Mother." Looking at the three people who were gobbling up, Zhang Mudan embarrassedly smashed Qian's arm with his elbow.
"What's the matter, eat." Qian didn't know what Zhang Peony meant.
"Mother, speak." Zhang Peony said to Qian with a mouth shape, and Qian finally reacted to Zhang Peony's meaning.
"Second sister-in-law, we have something else to do today, and I want to ask you for help." Qian finally put down the chopsticks, and forced Zhang Tianming to put down the chopsticks together, looking at Liu Meiniang and Zhang Li and said.
Zhang Jirin was silent the whole time, without the slightest expression on his face, he just sat on the side and watched, in his memory. None of the relatives is good, and these five uncles and five aunts are even more excessive, thinking about how to take advantage of others every day, and Zhang Li has suffered a lot of losses in their hands before.
Zhang Jirin is not as reckless as he was at the beginning, looking at the five uncles and five aunts, he wants to step forward and beat them. Now Zhang Jirin is much calmer, in fact, it couldn't be easier to deal with such a brainless scoundrel.
"Oh~" Liu Meiniang let out a meaningful oh, is she finally willing to tell the truth.
"Didn't Ji Rin become a big official in the capital, now I'm going to live in the capital." Qian asked tentatively.
"That's right," Liu Meiniang nodded, and what they said was not wrong at all.
"I've heard others say, what kind of chief secretary are you, and how old is this official? How many products? Zhang Tianming heard Liu Meiniang's affirmative answer, his eyes lit up a little, they heard that Zhang Jilin came back and became a big official, they didn't believe it at first, although they also had to admit that Zhang Jilin was indeed very good, but being a big official was too far away for them, and some people in the village said that the day Zhang Jilin came back, the county order of Qingshi County went to greet him, and the row was a big one, Zhang Tianming and his wife were moved when they heard it, and the family hit it off and came to Liu Meiniang's house.
"General Division of Soldiers and Horses, Zheng Erpin." Zhang Jirin picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped off a small drop of oil stains from the corner of Liu Meiniang's mouth.
"What?" Liu Meiniang was frightened by Zhang Jirin's sudden movements.
"There's dirt." Zhang Jirin said seriously.
"Uh-oh." Liu Meiniang nodded awkwardly, Zhang Li saw the interaction between Liu Meiniang and Zhang Jirin, and his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile.
"Zheng Erpin?" Zhang Tianming asked in a daze, obviously, he was a countryman who didn't know the relationship between these products and several products, and the reason why he could ask such a question was because he heard the teacher in the village say it.
"Hmm." Zhang Jilin nodded, turned his head and looked at Liu Meiniang again.
"What kind of show is the show in the village?" Qian asked. People like them can get in touch with the biggest officials, except for the county order, who are the showmen in the township.
"Poof." Zhang Tongtong couldn't hold back, and suddenly laughed.
"Laughing at what?" Qian glanced at Zhang Tongtong dissatisfied.
"What is the county order of Qingshi County?" Zhang Peony also asked a relatively high-level question.
"Zheng Liupin." Zhang Jihan solved his doubts.
"The county order is the sixth grade, you are the second grade, and your official is not as big as the county order?"
Zhang Tianming couldn't wait to ask, he thought Zhang Jilin was so big, but he didn't expect it to be so small.
"Haha." Zhang Tongtong finally couldn't help it, and laughed mercilessly as he crawled on the table.
"What are you laughing at?" Zhang Tianming slapped the table, obviously not used to Zhang Tongtong's disrespect for his elders.
"Hmm." Zhang Jirin nodded, and did not refute the erroneous perception of Zhang Tianming and his wife.
"Then why is the county order going to meet you?" Qian always felt that something was strange, but he didn't know.
"The prefectural order is a good person, maybe." Zhang Jihan whistled and said, is it funny that Zhang Tianming and his wife are here today.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this, aren't you going to the capital, we came today to think of going to the capital with you." Qian looked like he took it for granted.
"Come with us to the capital?" Liu Meiniang asked rhetorically.
"Yes, Ji Rin has gone to the capital, and he will definitely live for a long time in the future. Of course we'll go along. Zhang Tianming said loudly, seemingly very dissatisfied with Liu Meiniang's lack of eyesight.
"Why? What are you doing in the capital? Zhang Tongtong laughed angrily when he heard that the two were so shameless.
"Ji Rin is an official, in the capital, your fifth uncle and I can also enjoy the blessings." Qian had a proud look on her face, as if Zhang Jilin was her son.
"And then?" Zhang Tongtong knew that the greedy Zhang Tianming and his wife could not have only such a wish.
"Also, Brother Ji Rin, I heard that the unclothed boy is also from the capital, I think, I want to go to the capital to find him." Zhang Peony bit her lip and finally said what she thought in her heart. Liu Meiniang raised her eyebrows, she really didn't expect that Zhang Peony was so obsessed with Xue Wuyi, and now she still misses Xue Wuyi.
"Where did you hear that?" Liu Meiniang asked.
"I once passed by Caiyi Pavilion and heard it." Zhang Peony whispered.
"Oh?" Liu Meiniang is interested, what did Caiyige hear?
It turned out that every time Zhang Peony went to Qingshi County, he would go around the vicinity of Caiyi Pavilion, that time, I happened to hear Luluo talking to a middle-aged man, and the two stood at the door of Caiyi Pavilion, Luluo because his back was on, so he didn't see Zhang Peony, Zhang Peony heard Luluo say to that person, Xue Wuyi returned to the capital, and it would take a while to come back. said that he had gone home, Zhang Peony's eyes lit up when he heard the news, he didn't expect Xue Wuyi to be from the capital, Zhang Mudan had a stronger desire for Xue Wuyi in his heart, if she could marry Xue Wuyi, she would be able to become Mrs. Kuo in the capital.
This time, I heard that Zhang Jilin and Liu Meiniang were back, and Zhang Mudan's heart became active again.
Liu Meiniang Zhang Peony's face also probably knew what Zhang Peony was thinking.
"Sister-in-law," Zhang Mudan looked at Liu Meiniang expectantly.
"What's wrong?" Liu Meiniang pretended that nothing had happened and asked blankly.
"I want to go to the capital......" Zhang Peony repeated what she had just said.
"Fifth uncle and fifth aunt, what do you say?" Liu Meiniang did not answer Zhang Mudan's words, but turned her head to ask Zhang Tianming and his wife.
"If Ji Rin is willing to take us to the capital," Zhang Tianming heard Liu Meiniang's words, and he couldn't wait to jump up happily.
"How?" Zhang Jirin and Liu Meiniang looked at each other, and they saw the meaning of play in Liu Meiniang's eyes. So I followed Liu Meiniang's words.
