Chapter 8: Qionghua (Part II)
"I felt familiar when I saw you yesterday, but four years ago, you suddenly got up and clapped at the banquet?" Duan Huanian narrowed his eyes and looked at Yan Yan.
"So what?"
"On that day, your father proposed marriage to Qiong Sanniang, but he was rejected in public, and I, a bystander, saw it and felt embarrassed for your father......"
"You!" Yan Yan gritted his teeth, but because he was restricted from moving, he could only let the green tendons erupt.
Four years ago, Duan Huanian was transferred, passing through Qionghuazhuang, and went to the wine tasting banquet to visit. Sanniang was also very hospitable back then, and those who came did not refuse, but anyone who was a guest could have a good wine.
Although Duan Huanian and Wu Shi are not sitting in the front position, the commotion in front of them can still be seen clearly. The two of them didn't know what to do with it back then, but they just said that they were rejected by ordinary relatives, and laughed it off. Now it seems that there are inextricably linked relationships.
"My father's proposal was originally a good intention, I fell in love with Qionghua, if it wasn't for her Qiong Sanniang guarding her own winery, how could Qionghua die?"
"Nonsense! Your father has coveted my Qionghua Village for a long time, Qionghua is still old, and you are using it to bewitch you, do you dare to say that you don't have the slightest responsibility?! "Sanniang was wearing a crimson robe, her hair was not pulled up, and she didn't apply powder, but she just looked at Yan Yan angrily and scolded loudly." My daughter is dead! My Qionghuazhuang is gone! What the hell do you father and son want to take from me! ”
At this moment, Yin Xian captured the loneliness and grief on Yan Yan's face, and he was originally domineering, but after listening to Sanniang's words, he chose to bow his head and be silent.
He is not like the shameless person in Sanniang's mouth, and his feelings for Qionghua cannot be concealed. Yin Xian thought like this, and only then did she want to distinguish a few words, but she was blocked by Duan Huanian.
Duan Huanian ignored the contradiction between Yan Yan and Qiong Sanniang, looked cold, and said to Sanniang: "Yesterday, my wife jumped as agreed, give us wine, and your affairs will be handled by yourself, we are in a hurry." ”
"Hmph," Sanniang snorted, "I don't know what kind of wine you want, Fenjiu, peach blossom drunk or snowflake brew?" It's a pity, but there is no Qionghua wine. ”
"Owner, don't deceive people too much." Duan Huanian suppressed his anger and silently clenched his fists.
"Too much deception?" Qiong Sanniang squinted and sneered, "I only said that I would reward you with a few jars, but I didn't say that it was Qionghua wine, and I didn't break the contract, what's wrong?" ”
Duan Huanian was about to have a seizure, but he was dragged by one arm of Yin Xianwu and the eleven people, so he gave up.
"Now that my private affairs are over, I am naturally not in the mood to entertain you, if you are willing to wait, the matter is dealt with, Qionghua wine will naturally be available, I can't wait, please leave now, make room for my village."
Qiong Sanniang's temperament has always been like this, if she wants to do business with you, you don't need to say more, she will naturally offer it with both hands; If they don't feel the need to greet you, they will try to make you feel uncomfortable. Many times, everyone can't figure out her temperament, and when she is bold, her daughter dissipates and laughs, and when she is unhappy, she doesn't give you a sip of wine dregs to drink.
Yin Xian smiled slightly and pulled Duan Huanian's sleeve, "It's hard to go out of the city, just play." ”
Duan Huanian shook his head, "Although it's all up to you, you are only allowed to stay here for one more day, and tomorrow no matter what, you must go home." ”
"Naturally," he turned his head and saluted Qiong Sanniang, "There is a lot of annoyance." ”
At this time, Yan Yan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly raised his head, and a line of tears slowly flowed from his eyes.
"You hate me, but please tell me about her grave and what she left behind. I've been looking for Fentou Mountain for two years, at least I have a trace of thought, and I often go to accompany her, please ......"
The corners of Sanniang's mouth twitched slightly, and she turned to that fierce face, flicking her sleeves and leaving a sentence.
"Don't you think about it."
Four years ago, the Wine Tasting Conference.
Seeing that the atmosphere of the banquet was just right, and after three rounds of wine, everyone was already slightly drunk, so he took a glass of wine, stood up, and entered a glass towards Qiong Sanniang.
"All the princes are present, so I can mention Yan to be a witness, I heard that Qiong Sanniang has a daughter, who is the same age as a child, and when she reaches the age of marriage, I don't know if Sanniang is willing to match her daughter with my son and complete a good story?"
Sanniang gave her mother-in-law a gesture, and her mother-in-law walked down, took the cup in the hand of Master Yan Zhuang, and then handed it to Sanniang.
Sanniang played with the cup for a while, thoughtfully, "Next to you, the one who stood up was your son?" ”
Thinking of Yan Yan's measures just now, Master Yan Zhuang was a little embarrassed, it was indeed inappropriate, I was afraid that it would leave a bad impression on Qiong Sanniang.
"Yes, but Xiao'er hasn't seen a big scene, and he's just a little shy, so please don't see it."
"My son just danced on the platform to cheer you up, Lord Yan Zhuang, look, how is my son?" Qiong Sanniang sneered.
"Naturally, it's excellent, it's excellent, it's very satisfying."
Sanniang slowly dropped the glass of wine at her feet, smiling like a flower, "What if Lord Yan Zhuang is satisfied?" Our Qionghua is naturally smart, but I don't want my future son-in-law to be a nerd, what about Yan Zhuang's idea? ”
Lord Yan Zhuang only felt that his cheeks were red, and when he saw that there were many mocking looks from all the families, he suddenly felt extremely embarrassed, so that his reputation of Yan's Winery was north and south, and he was worthy of the title of the winery's leader. Thinking of this, Lord Yan Zhuang suddenly had a trace of confidence.
"Sanniang said with a smile, my son is out, but he doesn't often bring it out to walk around, and he is smart behind his back. Besides, he was born in a long house, there is nothing wrong with his identity, and if you marry here, you will not be treated badly, although she is an adopted daughter, but the etiquette of our Yan family will not be short at all......"
Hearing only the crisp sound of cups falling to the ground, Qiong Sanniang glared angrily, stood up and brushed her sleeves, "What does Master Yan Zhuang mean?" At this conference, everyone is a guest, do you have to let me make it clear and make everyone dislike? Why is your Yan family short of money, and you have made up your mind to hit my Qionghuazhuang? Okay, then the princes will be a witness, my Qionghua Village, in the future, it will be the inheritance of Qionghua, and there is no reason to marry out horizontally. One day when my Sanniang is alive, no one will want to beat my winery and daughter's idea! ”
Sanniang didn't want Qionghua to find a good family, but she thought about it carefully, Qionghua still has to inherit a great cause in the future, she Qiong Sanniang can't give Qionghua any chic and novel gifts, and the only thing that can be left is this winery. But she doesn't want to make a wedding dress for others, since ancient times, her daughter got married, and the things given by her mother's family have more or less become her husband's family, Qionghuazhuang is her Sanniang's life's work, so it is also considered selfish, she hopes that Qionghua can stay.
"Door-to-door son-in-law? Qiong Sanniang, don't deceive people too much! Lord Yan Zhuang lifted the table and stood up, pointed at Sanniang, and scolded.
"What's the matter, I'll marry a daughter, and I'll pick what kind of son-in-law I have." Sanniang picked up the wine jug on the table and was about to smash it at the Yan Zhuang master, if it weren't for the mother-in-law and the subordinates trying their best to stop it, I am afraid that it would be a disturbance at the venue.
After her husband's death, she single-handedly supported the winery business, she never liked to hide her thoughts, and she was never timid, which led to extreme paranoia and irritability in some aspects.
Everyone also sensed the subtle atmosphere, but fortunately, the drinks were excellent, so they could continue to sit and talk. Lord Yan Zhuang naturally felt humiliated, and indignantly asked his subordinates to look for Yan Yan and left the table early.
The two of them, who were admiring the flowers on the mountain, were completely unaware of the situation at the banquet, and still sat on the stone steps and laughed with each other.
The wind in the mountains was particularly cold, and after Qionghua danced, she ran out without permission before she had time to add more clothes, and couldn't help but sneeze a few times. After feeling a little out of shape, he hurriedly covered his face with his hands.
"Is it cold?" Yan Yan took off his coat and put it on Qionghua. Joan was smaller, and the jacket was big enough to wrap her whole body in, and she couldn't help but close her eyes a little greedily to enjoy the warmth of the thick clothes.
"Is it still cold? Would you like to give you another one? Saying that, Yan Yan was about to take off his underwear.
"Idiot! Don't! Qionghua hurriedly stopped, "What should you do if you take it off, it's strange if you don't freeze to death." ”
"Isn't this a mess if you care......" Yan Yan scratched the back of his head, a little embarrassed.
"What? What mess? Qionghua leaned over, "It's windy on the mountain, I can't hear clearly." ”
"No, no, no!" Yan Yan's heart was about to jump to his throat. "I mean, your hair is messed up, I'll give you a haircut."
After speaking, he warmed his hands, and then leaned close to Qionghua's forehead, gently pinning her hair to the back of her head.
Qionghua flashed her big watery eyes, and said seriously: "Do you know that there is a saying in our Qionghuazhuang that if a man touches a woman's hair, he will sign a marriage contract." ”
"Ahh Yan Yan's hand hurriedly let go, but looking at Qionghua in front of him, he still swallowed his saliva, rubbed his tongue, and held Qionghua's hand, "I, I will be responsible for you." ”
"Silly melon!" Qiong Hua withdrew her hand and hammered Yan Yan a few times, "I'm talking nonsense, you really take it seriously." ”
"Naturally, it's true, not to mention that I was going to marry you......"
This time, Qionghua was puzzled, "Don't bluff me." ”
"I don't! Today, my father said that he wanted to ask the owner of Qiongzhuang for my marriage with you, ah, I forgot to tell you, I am Yan Yan, Yanjiazhuang, do you know Yanjiazhuang? ”
Qionghua's expression couldn't tell anything, just faintly, like porcelain, listening quietly.
"I saw you dancing on stage, it's really good-looking, knowing that you are the daughter of the owner of Qiongzhuang, my happy heart is about to jump out, I like you very much, do you like me?"
"Silly melon, how can anyone say they like it on the first day they meet." Qionghua was disgusted and scratched Yan Yan's nose.
"Master Qiong, you won't agree to my marriage...... Qionghua was a little lonely, "I have followed her for so many years, I know her temper, I will become the next owner of Qiongzhuang after all, she is reluctant to give up this winery." ”
Yan Yan hurriedly waved his hand, "My father doesn't covet your winery, but the man is married and the woman is married, and he wants to find a suitable girl for me, besides, I see that you and I are the same age, but sixteen or seventeen years old, these are not what we have to consider, the elders must be thoughtful." Yan Yan grew up holding in the palm of his hand, and he didn't know the suffering of the world or the changes in the world.
"You don't understand after all, many things are much more complicated than you think."
Qionghua left this sentence, and the jade-colored Qionghua all over the mountain, returned the jacket to Yan Yan, and left adrift.
Yan Yan walked down the mountain, thinking about Qionghua's words, feeling half sweet and half confused in his heart, and when he thought that the two families had set up a marriage, they could stay with Qionghua day and night, he smiled innocently.
Under the archway of Qionghua Wonderland, he met his father Yan Zhuang, who left the table early, and jumped up happily like a deer, wanting to ask the result of the courtship, when to marry, and how much dowry to prepare.
All he got was a "find another man" result.
