Chapter Eighty-Nine: Defeat
Zhang Sangongzi said, "Brother Fang Xian, Miss Peony is also involuntarily, if you are angry because she helped Fuguilou, you will be a little narrow-minded." ”
"That is, even if there is a big mistake, the peony girl should be exposed for her sins so sincerely." Everyone also opened their mouths to persuade each other, but there was some mockery in the words.
Fang Jie half leaned on the cushion and said with a lazy smile, "There are beauties begging each other softly, and it's too late for the little brother to rejoice in his heart, how can he be disgusted for no reason?" It's just that such an opportunity is rare, and the younger brother still wants to listen to a few more words. Pity... The elder brothers are all people who pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, which hinders the greed of the younger brother. ”
"Oh, I see." Everyone raised their eyebrows in unison, revealing a look of ambiguity. Zhang Sangongzi even opened his mouth and smiled, "In this way, we are arrogant villains." Come, come, I salute Brother Fang Xian with a cup, and I should make amends. ”
"Well said, well said." Fang Jie raised his glass and touched everyone from afar, and then drank slowly. Peony heard these words on the side, and his face immediately became happy, and he cautiously leaned to Fang Jie's side, and said softly, "Childe, are you really not annoyed with Peony?" ”
Fang Jie smiled and nodded, and responded, "Beauty is like a flower, which man can still be annoyed when he sees it?" ”
Peony was praised and proud, smiling more and more delicately like a flower, while laughing in a low voice while pouring wine for Fang Jiebu's dishes, he was very busy, and he was so envious that the old vinegar in everyone's hearts was a little sour.
Seeing that everyone's wine was getting heavier and heavier, and the banquet was about to disperse, Peony quietly handed a look to the little maid, and the little maid immediately took out a green and clear jade wine jug from the small box in her hand.
Peony took it in his hand and refilled the full cup for Fang Jie, and said in a greasy voice, "Childe, this is a good wine that Peony bought from the south, but unfortunately I haven't expected you to come to the door to taste the same thing." I heard that you came to the banquet today, and the peony peculiar brought it over, how about the son's taste? ”
There are also people who know how to drink good wine, and when they heard Peony's words, they couldn't help twitching their noses and sniffing a few times, and then shouted with a look of surprise, "This wine has a mellow aroma and refreshing spleen, and it can't be cultivated without 20 years of cellaring, this is definitely a good wine." ”
A person next to him also answered, "Where did Peony girl get this good wine?" It's a pity that a few of us can only sniff the taste and swallow saliva, or Brother Fang Xian has this blessing. ”
Peony pulled his cuffs to cover his mouth and giggled a few times, and then replied shyly, "Look at what you sons said is really wronged, how can Peony do such a favoritism?" An altar has already been prepared for you outside, but this pot was specially brought to Fang Gongzi as a gift of reparation. After Fang Gongzi has drunk, Peony will dance another song to help the sons, how about it? ”
When everyone heard that they also had good wine to taste, and could even see beautiful women dancing, they naturally accepted most of their jealousy and rejoiced again. This one clapped his hands, and the other one clamored loudly, and he couldn't wait to force Fang Jie to pour the pot of good wine into his stomach immediately.
Fang Jie glanced at the wine in the jade pot, and a trace of doubt flashed in his heart, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was so public, no matter how bold Peony was, he didn't dare to use some unpopular means, so he took the wine glass and drank it all.
Everyone applauded, urging Peony to quickly fill the empty cup again, Peony saw that his plan was about to succeed, and his excited fingers trembled a little. She was about to say something to cover up, but she didn't want a small head to pop out from behind the screen.
Peony was startled and shouted in a low voice, causing everyone to look at the screen. Fang Jie recognized that the kid with dripping eyes was his own little girl, and his heart suddenly moved.
This clever boy broke in in in disregard of the rules, there was definitely something important to report, maybe it was the result of the incident he had been thinking about all night.
Thinking like this, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Let you brothers see you laugh, that's my little servant." After saying that, he raised his hand and beckoned, and Dongzi immediately carried a food box and ran around the crowd to him.
Fang Jie turned his head sideways and asked in a low voice, "But that matter has a result?" ”
Dongzi nodded his little head violently, and tried his best to lower his voice in response, "Childe, Steward Wang just came to personally deliver a letter over, saying that the shopkeeper of Fuguilou Sun was unfavorable and returned with a feather, and Qian Dafu was smashing things and losing his temper." ”
"So, she... Didn't minus me? Fang Jie seemed to be a little incredulous, and asked again in a low voice.
Dongzi blinked his small round eyes, and always felt that Childe's words were a little awkward, but he still responded, "There must not be, Childe." The sister-in-law of the Zhang family is really faithful, and the little one really admires her this time. It is said that the shopkeeper Sun opened double the price, so much silver for nothing..."
Fang Jie listened to it, the joy in his heart became stronger and stronger, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows couldn't help but overflow with a little smile. Even the few sons who pretended to joke but always paid attention to this place were even more curious.
Peony also tried her best to listen, but she only faintly heard the words Fuguilou and Xinyi, and her heart inevitably hung up, and her mind flew for a moment before she came to her cheekily and said with a smile, "Childe, but what's the joy?" It's better to say it, so that the slave family will also rejoice. ”
Dongzi originally won a lot of silver rewards here in Peony, and once said good things for her in the ear of his son-in-law, but as soon as the matter of Fuguilou came out, Dongzi completely hated this woman who "eats inside and outside". At this time, seeing that she was tired of being by her son-in-law's side again, she naturally felt very displeased.
His mind turned quickly, and when the corner of his eye swept to the food box next to his feet, he immediately had an idea, and when his son-in-law did not respond, he hurriedly said first, "Childe, Shopkeeper Luo said that this matter is not trivial, and he must ask his son-in-law to go back to discuss." There are two good dishes in this food box, Childe, you see..."
Fang Jie came to the banquet today, firstly, it was not good not to give Zhang Sangongzi face, and secondly, it was also to occupy his mind, and now that he had good news about the things he was worried about, he naturally did not want to continue to mess around here.
So he got up and made amends with Zhang Sangongzi, sent two good dishes, and promised to invite a table back every few days, and then took Dongzi to leave.
Zhang Sangongzi left a few words and sent the master and servant to the door, and when he came back, his face seemed to have some resentment, but in fact, his heart was already happy. After all, Fang Jie's departure, the peony girl is alone, and it is as easy for him as the master to kiss Fang Ze.
Sure enough, although Peony was reluctant in his heart, he couldn't refute the face of the main family, and sat down on the other side of Zhang Sangongzi with a forced smile. Zhang Sangongzi's big hand immediately touched her thigh, and he laughed, "Just now, I felt that Miss Peony and Brother Fang Xian were talented and beautiful, but now it seems that this son and Miss Peony are the most fateful." Even if thousands of mountains and rivers block it, it will definitely end up in the same way. With that, he shook off the gold-painted fan and laughed proudly.
Peony heard that he tried his best to pretend to be elegant, but in fact he was vulgar and full of loopholes, and he was so disgusted that he couldn't spit it out twice. But she gritted her teeth even more with hatred for Fang Jie's sudden departure, the wine jug was mixed with her hard-won "chaotic monarch's heart", as long as he drank two more glasses, no matter how good his concentration was, he would be so confused that he would act on him in public, and at that time, if she pushed the rumors a little more, she would be able to successfully enter the Fang Mansion.
It's a pity that the damn little guy didn't come sooner or later, but she fell short halfway through the matter...
Not to mention how Peony calculated the next action, nor how Fang Jie's master and servant got out of the noisy place, rushed back to their own restaurant, just said that the Zhang family in Nangouer Village set up a banquet lively, beckoning everyone to eat meat and drink wine, and the old and young villagers were satisfied with their round stomachs, praising Pucao's benevolence and generosity.
After standing at the gate of the courtyard and sending everyone back, Pu Cao hurriedly took Zhang Gui'er back to the wing room to sleep. This kid was poured a bowl of bud grain wine by everyone, and he was shaking when he walked, but he still insisted on thanking his sister-in-law for interceding for the second uncle's family, but he didn't want to fall asleep on the snow like he was unstable under his feet.
Pu Cao was really angry and funny, and called Peach Blossom and Shanzi to help together, and dragged him back to the wing.
Chunni frowned and wandered around the courtyard, and when Pu Cao came out, she saw her like this, so she quipped, "What are you doing, can't you lose your money?" ”
Chunni pulled her past and asked in a low voice, "Have you seen my in-laws and uncle?" It was still in the house just now, why did it disappear in a blink of an eye? ”
Pu Cao smiled and knocked her on the head, and said angrily, "Don't be careful, that's the father and mother brother who gave birth to a child, isn't it just to eat more wine and food, if they finish eating and have a short mouth, they won't trouble you in the future, you can still worry about it." Why, you don't want to beat them up and make them vomit again, it's weird and disgusting. ”
Chunni heard Pu Cao's words, and stomped her feet angrily, "How can I be such a cautious person, if they don't beat me on weekdays, forget it, where do I dare to touch them." I just don't think they could get the money last time, so I don't know if they have any bad ideas. Today, all three of them came, and my right eyelid jumped suddenly, and I couldn't help but panic. ”
"I'm afraid you're thinking too much, maybe they'll greet the same son when they leave, you go and ask. Aunt Chen, they help clean up the stove, I'll go and say hello. ”
"Okay, there you go. Maybe I'm too careful. ”
The two separated as they spoke, and Pu Cao entered the stove and saw the Chen family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law brushing the pots and dishes, so she smiled and said, "Every time there is something at home, the aunt and sister-in-law must be tired, and if the aunt has work at home, she must call me, otherwise I will feel that my face is hot." ”
Aunt Chen smiled heartily, wiped her hands on her apron, and responded, "Okay, there is work at home to keep calling you." ”
Pu Cao asked while taking a large pottery bowl and putting vegetables out of the pot, "My eldest brother and second brother should leave in the morning, I'm afraid they will be able to return tomorrow night." I also asked my second brother to buy me a few geese and hens, so that there were no good dishes on the table every time. ”
Sister-in-law Chen smiled while brushing the pot, "My sister is polite, the oil flowers in your brush pot water are enough for other families to stew two pots of dishes, and you still dislike the food is not rich?" Then the other family treats them purely to pass the meal. ”
The three of them all laughed, and at the end Aunt Chen said that it would be ruined if the water was poured over the pot, and she shouted that she wanted to take it home to feed the pigs.
Pu Cao and the Chen family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, and they were all puzzled, could this little couple quarrel, why didn't they look good?
