Old Man Kong was in a hurry to go to the greenhouse to visit, he didn't like Mrs. Liu to suddenly block the way like this, and at this time, he heard her smear her parents and children like this, so he couldn't help but say, "Sister-in-law Liu, the birth of a child has been separated from the family, if you give you the money again, will the two of them still live?" You, the mother, still have to run the house for the son who picks the door, and you don't care where you go. If you don't wait to see their little couple, let them come to your door less after they finish delivering the pension food, and you just don't have to come and go. ”

Mrs. Liu was choked up, and when she wanted to argue again, Chen Lizheng also turned to Liu Housheng impatiently and asked, "Should you two send the pension food for your father and mother this year?" ”

Liu Housheng didn't know what the past had come to mind, and he didn't hear Li Zheng's question at all, Chun Nier hurriedly continued, "Back to Uncle Lizheng's words, when the family was separated, my in-laws said that this year would be forgotten, and that we would need 200 catties of bud grain for the elderly every year from next year." ”

Mrs. Liu's eyes rolled, and she consciously caught Chunni's mistake, and immediately shouted, "You unfilial little girl, you will lie!" When did we say that we should not provide food for the elderly? Obviously, you don't want to give it because you have a bad conscience. ”

"Mother, why did you say something and not admit it? When I split up, I wanted two acres of land, but you were reluctant, and only one acre was given for life or death, and said that the pension grain would be harvested from next year. ”

"I didn't say it, I didn't say it, you lied!" Mrs. Liu just doesn't admit it, there is no one and no evidence, what kind of posture can you take me. Chun Nier was also angry, turned around and went back to the house, turned over the purse containing broken silver, and counted six or seven coins of silver and slapped it on the table, "Okay, my mother doesn't admit that she said that, and I won't argue." Uncle Lizheng and the villagers are here today, I will give you this year's pension grain in silver, don't say that we rely on your food in the future! ”

Mrs. Liu's eyes stared at the shining little silver horn, where could she still hear her daughter-in-law talking, and she rushed forward and grabbed the silver in her hand. At the end, the look in his eyes seemed to turn into a small hook, and he went straight to the purse in Chunni's hand, wishing it all belonged to her.

Chunni deliberately shook the big red brocade purse, and then slowly put it into her arms, hating Mrs. Liu so much that she clenched her back molars, and her mind was about to smoke, but she couldn't think of any good way.

Everyone was extremely shameless, and Chen Lizheng also shook his head secretly, and said, "Okay, the old sister-in-law took the silver, so don't talk about those useless gossip in the future." After all, this person has an old age, and he doesn't necessarily expect a son to serve at the bedside. ”

After he said this, he led a few old men to go out with Pucao to the greenhouse, and everyone in the house also said goodbye when they saw this, and finally only the three members of the Liu family were left in the house.

Mrs. Liu pinched the broken silver in her hand, still a little unwilling, and was just about to make another excuse to ask for the remaining silver, when she heard Liu Housheng say coldly, "Daddy, in the future, I will have nothing else to do to be filial to you except for the old food." Go back and don't come again. ”

It was the first time for Old Man Liu and the old lady to hear Da'er talk to them like this, and they had the heart to scold a few words, but when they saw Da'er's face was pale, he completely lost his previous honest and honest appearance. I was afraid that I would really provoke him, so I scolded and let my youngest son go out with his arms on his shoulders.

The room was completely quiet, and the little couple were relatively speechless when they looked at the mess in the house, and it took a long time for Chunni to sigh and say, "You go into the house to rest for a while, I'll go to the greenhouse when I'm clean." ”

"You go and help water the grass, I'll pick it up at home." Liu Housheng squeezed a smile, but unfortunately it was uglier than crying. Chunni's heart was sour, and she hurriedly opened the door and went out.

In a moment, there was a low whimper in the room, like the crowing of a wounded beast. With the heavy snow falling in the yard, it became more and more desolate. Chunni leaned against the window lattice, biting her cuffs and choking out...

In this world, the closest people are also the most dangerous people. Because your trust in them makes you defenseless, and then you give them the opportunity to hurt you fiercely, the most painful, the deepest...

Not to mention all kinds of farces in Nangou Village, it is only said that it is rare to be lively in Cuiluan City. The already bustling commercial street is even more busy on this day.

Countless gray-clothed little maids and little stewards in Tsing Yi escorted their own carriages or sedan chairs, and rushed to the three-story restaurant at the end of the street under the heavy snowflakes falling from the sky. The left side of the restaurant and the back alley were soon full of cars to complete the task.

The three or four little servants may be familiar with each other, and they are very bored, so they secretly gossip behind the carriage to pass the time. One of the youngest round-faced young men, leaning on the wall of the carriage with his neck bent and his hands, occasionally looked up and sniffed the aroma in the air, and couldn't help but guess, "Hey, brothers, what kind of tricks did you say that the shopkeeper of Baiyunju made the second master change his mind and set the birthday banquet here for them?" Could it be that they have prepared 'dragon liver and phoenix gall'? ”

When an older guy heard this, he immediately slapped him on the head and scolded, "What kind of nonsense, what kind of liver and gall do you dare to say?" It is rumored that you and your wife will be dragged to be chopped alive! ”

The round-faced little guy was frightened, he just said it in passing, where did he think of this taboo, and hurriedly explained with a sad face, "Ah, I didn't... I'm not..."

His anxious and frightened appearance made the rest of the people laugh, and they said loudly for him, "Okay, Third Brother Zhu." None of you are talkative, so don't scare him, just pay more attention in the future. ”

"That's it, that's it, how can the little hairy head who is only thirteen or fourteen know the weight."

That Zhu San knocked the round-faced little guy with a brain collapse again, and then smiled helplessly, "I brought out the little sixth son, and there is still an old lady at home to support, and I am also afraid that he will cause trouble, so I will nag a few more words." ”

Everyone smiled and picked up the words just now, and said, "Don't say that Xiao Liuzi is curious, it's just that our master talked about this on the way just now." Who knows what strange tricks this Baiyunju shopkeeper has? ”

"I heard that yesterday he brought a food box to the Zheng Mansion, and later the Zheng family sent a wedding card to set the birthday banquet here."

"What is the food box gift in?"

From the beginning to the end of the entire shopping street, the shopkeepers in more than a dozen restaurants are also speculating about this problem, and the most anxious one is that the owner of Fuguilou is rich. In the past few days, he has repeatedly invited famous actors and top brands such as white pear blossoms and red peonies to come to help, which barely suppressed Baiyunju.

I thought that this time Mrs. Zheng's 70th birthday banquet would definitely be held in their restaurant, and he even asked the chef to carefully match the dishes, but he didn't want the Zheng family to suddenly spread the news that it was set in Baiyunju, how could this not make him angry.

Although no one in the Zheng family is an official and a half-post in this city, the old lady Zheng was a person fifty years ago, full of talent but without a career, and after gaining fame, he entered the palace to make a small teaching. In the past few decades, there have been not 1,000 but 800 students who have been admitted from him, and there are more than a dozen of them who are officials in the court, not to mention those county commanders who have been released.

This old man is a veritable peach and plum all over the world, and the Zheng family is naturally one of the best scholars in Cuiluan City. Which literate scholar dared to bow when he walked to the door of the Zheng family, and which Ren Mansion Yin dared not go to visit the old lady first?

Old lady Zheng is now seventy years old, not to mention the various figures in the city, even many protégés and disciples have also sent people back to give birthday gifts and go to birthday banquets. Unexpectedly, it ended up in the mouth of his old rival Bai Yunju, how could Qian Dafu not be troubled?

The fat shopkeeper stood aside and saw that his master was so anxious, so he poured a cup of tea and held it to him, and flattered, "Boss, drink a cup of tea to dissipate the anger." The old slave of Bai Yunju's Wu fat man still knows how much craftsmanship he has, he is afraid that he will not be able to hold such a big birthday banquet, so you just wait to see Bai Yunju make a fool of himself. ”

Qian Dafu took the teacup and drank it in a big gulp, frowned and asked, "Still haven't found out what good ingredients the old guy on the other side has?" ”

The old shopkeeper shook his head, hurriedly added tea for the master, and said with a smile, "The owner relaxes, the old slave looks at them and is playing tricks, and brings a food box to the door to make everyone mistakenly think that they have obtained some good ingredients." In fact, it was that Fang Gongzi who took the door of the Sun Mansion and let the Zheng family give face. ”

"Nonsense!" Qian Dafu glared, "That Second Master Zheng is a stubborn donkey temper, who in this city doesn't know." If Fang Jie dared to use Sun Mansion to suppress him, he would not go to Baiyunju to set up wine if he was killed by keeping it. Besides, Sun Fuyin will not personally clear the way for the business of a small restaurant. ”

"Yes, yes, or the master thinks clearly, and the old slave is stupid." The fat shopkeeper reached out and secretly wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, and bent his back even lower. Just when he was about to think of another idea to please his master, he saw his henchman gesturing at the door, so he made an excuse to avoid it, and asked with an unhappy face, "What's the matter?" Don't talk about the bad news, the owner is in a big rage. ”

The little steward had a bitter face and said in a low voice, "Shopkeeper, the peony girl sent someone to spread the word that she was not feeling well today and could not come to sing." ”

"What? This shameless little girl, really thinks she is everyone's best girl? The fat shopkeeper was so angry that he scolded, there are already two tables of rich sons today, just waiting to see this red peony. She suddenly couldn't say this, didn't she make her own family embarrassed.

The fat shopkeeper scolded a few words and felt useless, so he had to think about how to save the scene and how to report to the owner so that he could be less reprimanded.

Not to mention how anxious and guessed everyone was, Baiyun Curie was full of joy. Up and down the three floors, all the relatives and friends of the Zheng family have occupied all the seats according to the distance between relatives and relatives.

More than a dozen young men in gray shuttled between the people with trays, delivering tea and snacks and dried melon seeds, and serving everyone comfortably.

The dozen or so private rooms on the third floor have been removed from the middle partition, and six tables have been placed in a wide and spacious manner, all of whom are the closest people to the Zheng family, and naturally they are all the highest status among the guests.
