Chapter 74: The Sword on the Wine Table (2nd Watch)

Seeing that the atmosphere at the banquet was not right, Shen hurriedly picked up the conversation and said with a smile: "The third sister is really eccentric, my two monkeys haven't received the gift from her third aunt yet, sister-in-law, I will ask my sister with a shy face!" ”

Jiang Xinshan helped the red gold-dotted crested hairpin on her head, and said with a smile: "What is the sister-in-law anxious about?" When I was 100 days away from Ming'er's two children, I prepared a generous gift to ask for a cup of wine. ”

Because of entering Beijing to hold the old lady's birthday, Brother Xi and Sister Lian'er's full moon wine only opened a few tables of banquets in the big room, and had a lively time with Shen's mother's family.

Shen raised his glass and said with a smile: "I will thank their third aunt for the two children first." ”

Jiang Xinshan glanced at Jiang Xinyao, who was bored and eating vegetables, and said with a smile: "Who said that our Jiang family does not have many heirs, look, since the two sisters-in-law entered the door, one brother on the left, another sister, people, prosperous." The two sisters-in-law are really great heroes in the house. Fourth sister, don't you say? ”

Jiang Xinyao really didn't want to talk about the inside of the Jiang family in front of outsiders. The three girls from the foreign mansion on the table, all of them are human spirits, and they are about to sharpen their heads and drill into Jiang's mansion, although it is just a few words, but after a little pondering, who can't understand a little?

She lightly coped with the sentence "What the third sister said is", then turned her head over and talked to the eldest sister.

Jiang Xinqiong also didn't like the third sister to shake out the affairs of the house in front of outsiders, so she glanced at Jiang Xinshan deeply at the moment, and then took Xinyao's words.

Jiang Xinqiong, the eldest daughter of the long house, has always been majestic in the Jiang family, and even the Shen family is polite and gives three points.

Jiang Xinshan didn't seem to notice it, but still smiled: "I don't know if this Aunt Bi is pregnant with a brother or a sister, I hope it is a sister, and she looks as good as Aunt Bi." ”

Jiang Xinyao's heart gradually became angry, and she secretly scolded a "fool", and couldn't bear it: "No matter how good-looking it is, it is also born in the belly of my aunt, but it is just a concubine." I hope that the third sister will soon conceive a beautiful brother, so that the third sister will be a great hero of the Zheng Mansion! ”

Jiang Xinyao said this quite harshly. struck Jiang Xinshan's two major sore spots at once, and Jiang Xinshan's face changed suddenly.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Shen saw that the mother-in-law brought a steamed crab, and immediately smiled: "Three sisters." Try this dish, this crab is fresh from the south. ”

Wu Yihua said with a smile: "It is said that it is not yet the season to eat crabs, and it is extremely rare to be able to taste such a big crab this time, and I am hungry for it." ”

Wu pun intended: "It's just a thing that walks sideways, and it's worth making a fuss about." ”

Jiang Xinqiong secretly patted Xin Yao's hand and said with a smile: "This thing tastes good when it is hot, and it is cold." It's fishy, sisters, come and taste it. ”

After saying that, she waved her hand to beckon the maid behind her, pointed to the dish in front of her, and personally picked up one and handed it to Xin Yao's bowl. The maid walked around. Divide the crabs into each man's plate.

Jiang Xinyao winked at her eldest sister and was about to make a move, but she heard the light cat behind her step forward and whispered in her ear: "Grandma, you can't eat cold things, and you are still taking medicine." ”

Jiang Xinyao glanced at Qingxu resentfully, and retracted her hand in a sneer.

Jiang Xinqiong hurriedly said: "Sister, what's wrong?" ”

Xin Yao picked up the handkerchief and wiped her mouth. stared at Jiang Xinshan and smiled silently.

"Miss, our grandmother is weak because of the incident in Qingliang Mountain last year, and she can't afford to ban cool things." ”

Jiang Xinyao looked back and scolded: "I want you to talk more." ”

Jiang Xinshan just held back her anger because of Xin Yao's two sentences, and was about to take advantage of the topic. Leng Buding was so frightened by Xin Yao's glance that he hurriedly covered his mouth, lowered his head in panic, and pretended to eat the crab.

Shen, Wu saw that the third sister didn't have a seizure. Although he secretly gasped, he was secretly surprised.

The Zhou sisters glanced at each other, lowered their eyes, and concentrated on dismantling the crabs on the plate.

Jiang Xinyao looked at Jiang Xinshan with satisfaction, and sneered in her heart. The tiger is not powerful, she really thinks she is Kate's cat, she provokes a sentence on the left and a sentence on the right. Who knows, as early as when Bi Moss followed her second brother, she sent Li's mother to the second sister-in-law to clear up in person, and the two sisters-in-law already knew it.

Just now in Guiyun Hall, she whispered to the Wu family to explain that if the green moss is safe, and leave her a way to live; If it's really a person who doesn't know the height of the sky, don't care who it is.

She picked up the glass, took a sip, and looked around to see several wives at her mother's table holding glasses. At the old lady's table, the three uncles and grandmothers were also talking to the old lady lively, and when they looked out, they saw Zhang Xinyu with a smile in her eyes, raised a glass to her, and gently pointed to the north with her jade hand.

Jiang Xinyao nodded imperceptibly in reply.

At this time, the drama has been changed on the stage, and what is singing is a flower in the Hall of Eternal Life.

Xin Yao listened carefully to a few words, but saw that the juniors of the Jiang family came in with a few small points and toasted to the old lady.

She saw Brother Hao in a new shirt, squeezed in the middle, holding a small wine glass in his hand, with a straight face, and couldn't help laughing.

A few people at the same table hurriedly raised their heads when they heard the laughter, but they heard Shen laugh and said: "Look, our brother Chen is a little taller than Brother Hao, but he wants to respectfully call Brother Hao a little uncle, it's really funny!" ”

Wu couldn't help but laugh and said: "Sister-in-law, Brother Chen looks so good, the one in our family is still being held in his hands." ”

Jiang Xinqiong also smiled: "If you want to talk about good looks, who can compare to the third brother, I haven't seen him for two years, he is really a talent, and he is as tall as the second uncle." ”

When Jiang Xinyao heard this, she said happily: "Two sisters-in-law, big sister, let's not sell melons and boast about ourselves, they are all brothers of the Jiang family, no matter how much we boast, we can't boast of a flower." If you want me to say, it's still Sister Lan of the eldest sister-in-law's family, Sister Ting of the eldest sister's family is the best-looking, and Sister Mei of the second sister-in-law's family is a little younger, but when she grows up, she must be a beauty. ”

Mothers, who do not like their children to be praised. Jiang Xinqiong on the side was so happy that she reached out and twisted Xinyao's cheek.

was about to speak, but heard Zhou Xiaojing, one of the sisters of the Zhou family, whispering: "In the end, it is the water in the south that raises people, the brother and sister in the house, not to mention the appearance, but the bearing of the body, which is one level higher than others." If I had the chance, I would go back to my aunt and grandmother, and follow her to the south to dip in the aura. ”

Having said this, others didn't think anything, only Shen sneered, but there was no follow-up.

After finishing the meal, the maids and mothers-in-law quickly cleaned up the table, removed the dishes, chopsticks, cups and saucers, and replaced them with melons and fruit snacks.

Xin Yao excused herself to eat after eating, and slowly paced to Gu's side. Gu had just said a few words to his daughter, but was called over by others.

Jiang Xinyao thought about Zhang Xinyu's gesture just now, and took the two maids to the north.

……

The men's banquet was placed in the side hall of the front yard, and because of drinking, the banquet was in full swing at this time.

The young master of the fourth room of the Jiang family, the two aunts plus two Jiang Zichen, and Feng Kuan and the two little ones gathered at the same table.

The two little ones listened to the drums in the back, where could they sit still anymore, and they looked like adults to find an excuse, and pulled their little uncle Jiang Yuanhao to the back.

Jiang Yuanhao was worried about his sister Xinyao in his heart, and followed his two nephews along the river. Eight went to three, and only five remained. The three masters of the Jiang family had to follow their father to toast, hula, and three more left, only the two uncles were served, and they toasted each other alone.

Xiao Han thought about it, toasted Zheng Liang frequently, and said some compliments, and the two brothers-in-law who had never walked around quickly called each other brothers.

Where can the amount of alcohol of a scholar be compared with that of a person who practices martial arts, it is not much, Zheng Liang has a big tongue. When a man drinks a lot, he naturally talks a lot, and those who don't dare to say it on weekdays, and those who can't say it are said with the strength of wine.

Xiao Han listened to it for a long time, and his brows furrowed.

It turned out that what Zheng Liang said was related to Xu Sizhen.

A few days ago, his father-in-law asked him to inquire about Xu Sizhen's origin, and led him to meet him, and he answered in one mouth.

He and Xu Sizhen were in the same Hanlin Academy, although they did not interact, they also met once or twice. Who knew how many times he had an appointment, but Xu Sizhen always said that there was something wrong and refused. After several times, Zheng Liang felt that this Xu Sizhen didn't give him face, and he used the strength of the wine to make up his wrong.

In fact, what Zheng Liang said was nothing more than Xu Sizhen's sour words such as climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, which was a little harsh just in Xiao Han's ears. If Xindao's words reach the ears of Sixteen, the good days of your Zheng family will come to an end, and he quietly diverted the words and led them to the woman.

Speaking of women, Zheng Liang is even more straightforward, Xiao Han listened to it for a long time, and then lost interest. It just so happened that someone on the other end raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, so he excused himself and slipped out.

That Zheng Liang still shouted at the table: "Brother-in-law, go early and come back early, we will rest as soon as we get drunk!" ”

……

There is a small pond in the north of the heart lake, there is a small pavilion by the pool, the wicker swaying by the pavilion, elegant and quiet, it is a good place to sit and watch and enjoy quietly, there are dozens of red carp in the pond, lazily enjoy themselves in the pool.

Xin Yao approached the pavilion, but saw that someone in the pavilion was already standing with a smile.

Jiang Xinyao hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for six years, and Sister Xinyu's demeanor is even better than back then." ”

Zhang Xinyu is dressed very solemnly today, with a long gown decorated with lychee red entwined grape flowers, a sunrise bun combed on her head, a big phoenix hairpin, a pomegranate red velvet flower on the side of the bun, and a hibiscus flower fan in her hand, which looks graceful and luxurious.

Zhang Xinyu returned the salute, took Xin Yao's hand and looked it up and down, and said with a smile: "My sister's appearance is becoming more and more prominent, but my sister can't take her eyes off." It's been six years, and I still remember that my sister hadn't grown up at that time, and now she is married. ”

Xin Yao smiled sweetly: "During the Dragon Boat Festival that year, on the Shen family cruise, Sister Xinyu stood up for her sister, quoted scriptures, and her tongue was like a spring, and I still remember my sister from time to time." ”

Xinyu sneered: "My sister still remembers." Why didn't you come to me when you came to Kyori? ”(..)
