Text Episode 146 Table manners
"Why is it said again?" Qin Xin asked with some incomprehension, although he knew the general pattern of the world in Wanfamen, he had really never heard of this place name, so he asked: "What is that place in the Western Regions?"
"It is said that Shangguan Ruolan herself said it! That is to say, if you ask me what is the place of Wuke Country in the Western Regions, I don't know, this country is also said by Shangguan Ruolan herself, I see that when my father heard her say this country, his face was also a little confused, I think even my father may not know this country. ”
"So, you don't know her real details at all? In this way, the little brother is even more confused, since you don't know anything, then why do you want to marry her again?" Qin Xin thought for a while, and suddenly added with a wicked smile: "Isn't it that the second brother fell in love with her beauty and moved his lust." ”
Qin Kai laughed when he heard this, and said, "Haha...... Don't hide it from the second brother, when Shangguan Ruolan first came to our house, I was really moved by her beauty, such a beautiful girl is indeed rare, but what about later...... Alas...... What about this...... It's a long story, and I'm too lazy to make a long story short......"
Qin Xin had never seen the second brother speak like this, and knew that there must be something hidden in it, and then looked at Qin Chu, just drinking tea with his head covered and not saying a word, so he asked Qin Kai: "What is a long story, and you are too lazy to talk nonsense, are you rude to her?"
Qin Kai was obviously stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Even you say that, but do you think the second brother is that kind of person?"
Qin Xin shook his head, of course he knew that the second brother was definitely not a person who was in a hurry, but he wanted to stop talking and slurred, as if he had really done something unseemly.
"You just need to know that her name is Shangguan Ruolan, you can call her second sister-in-law, you can also call her little sister, or just call him by his name. Qin Kai didn't seem to bother to explain.
"As for her other business...... Never mind...... Still don't mention her, let's get down to business, let's talk about the puppet, this kind of puppet technique you brought, the main raw material is ironwood, hehe, we don't dare to say anything else in Qinglin City, but there is no shortage of ironwood, so I'm going to ...... like this" Qin Kai seemed to have something unspeakable, and said directly.
Although Qin Xin was really curious about this Shangguan Ruolan, he had never seen Qin Kai so helpless, so since the second brother didn't want to mention it again, he didn't ask any more, and the three of them discussed the details of refining the puppet together.
As soon as Qin Kai said that he had returned to the puppet, he immediately seemed to be a different person, with clear thinking and open thinking, and after a while, he arranged all the matters related to the refining of the puppet.
"Okay, second brother, just do as you say, I look at what you just said, you should be able to refine a puppet in two months, I really want to see if this puppet is really as powerful as Uncle Jiang said." ”
After discussing it, the three brothers chatted while drinking tea, Qin Chu just listened most of the time and didn't speak, while Qin Kai asked Qin Xin about cultivating immortals.
Although Qin Xin didn't want to hide anything from the two elder brothers, he still picked up some things that happened in the Wanfa Gate and talked happily, as for the evil ice lotus and the dangers he encountered, as well as the things that someone designed him, he didn't say a word.
He really didn't want his relatives to worry about him anymore, so he also attracted Qin Kai's constant envy.
The three of them chatted, and time flew by, and the time for dinner soon came, and a maid sent a message that they could go to the main hall for dinner.
The Qin family has always been thrifty, and rarely eats and drinks a lot, before Qin Xin left home, the main hall only eats here during the New Year's holidays.
Today, the table is set in the main hall, and the Qin family is like the New Year again.
When the three brothers came to the main hall, a large round table was already full of all kinds of wine and food, and they could smell the smell of meat from afar, and the whole hall was even more fragrant.
Qin Yuan and his wife had already sat down on the main seat of the round table at this time.
Qin Yuan's internal injuries were not too serious, but after taking the Red Blood Pill and the medicine prescribed by Doctor Feng, plus a few hours of rest, his face was ruddy at this time, and he was obviously fine.
As soon as Mrs. Qin saw the three brothers coming in at the same time, she got up and beckoned their brothers to take a seat, Qin Chu was the eldest son, so she sat down next to Qin Yuan's left head, Qin Kai was next to the eldest brother, and Qin Xin was the youngest, so she was in the last position on the left.
After the three brothers entered the table in order of size, the next step should be the sister-in-law sitting next to Mrs. Qin's right head, followed by Shangguan Ruolan, since Qin Xin was not married, a seat should be vacant, and finally Qin Chu's pair of children - Qin Zheng and Qin Zhu sat down.
This kind of eating rule has been followed by the Qin family for many generations, and it has never been in chaos.
But I didn't expect that after the three brothers sat down, Qin Chu's daughter-in-law, as soon as she sat down, was supposed to sit next to Shangguan Ruolan, but Shangguan Ruolan didn't care about that at all, she didn't sit under her sister-in-law, but sat next to Qin Xin.
"Ruolan, sit down here. When the sister-in-law saw it, she was startled and hurriedly reminded her.
"No, I'm going to sit next to the third brother today, but he promised to tell me a story, right, third brother. Shangguan Ruolan said.
Qin Xin was really a little speechless, so he could only smile awkwardly and didn't say anything.
"Shangguan Ruolan, sit down where you should be sitting, why has it been so long, and there are still no rules at all?" Mrs. Qin said with a slightly sinking face.
The rules of the Qin family's daughters have always been managed by Mrs. Qin, and seeing that Shangguan Ruolan is so unruly, Mrs. Qin is naturally a little unhappy.
"I don't, I'm just sitting here, what's wrong?" Shangguan Ruolan didn't buy it, and said with a tilted little head.
"You ......," Madam Qin slapped the table and stood up.
"That's it, that's it, if you're so happy today, let's make an exception, Zheng'er, Zhu'er, you can also take a seat. Qin Yuanyi greeted Qin Chu's pair of children and said.
Qin Chu's pair of children politely thanked them for sitting down before sitting down at the bottom of the round table.
Maybe it's because Qin Xin is back, so Mrs. Qin is in a good mood today, her tense face slowly stretched, and she said with a smile: "Okay, since the master has spoken, then I shouldn't be this wicked person, Ruolan, don't take it as an example." ”
"Got it, mother-in-law. Shangguan Ruolan said with a smile indifferently.
Mrs. Qin's smile sank again and said, "It's a mother-in-law, or just a mother-in-law? What is a mother-in-law?" ”
"Okay, mother-in-law...... Mother. Shangguan Ruolan had no choice but to say again.
Mrs. Qin shook her head again and again and said, "Alas, how many times have I told you, why can't you remember it? ”
"Okay. Mother, got it, mother. Shangguan Ruolan said aggrievedly.
Mrs. Qin was really a little crying and laughing, and waved her hand: "Alas, I'm also drunk, just do it." ”
Qin Yuan picked up the wine glass in front of him and said with a smile: "Haha, getting drunk before drinking, it means that Mrs. is in a good mood today, is Xin'er back today, and the family hasn't gotten together for a reunion dinner for a long time."
To be honest, I've been thinking about cabbage stew for a long time, but since Xin'er left home, your mother hasn't done it again, everyone gets together and is happy, let's not say much else, just cabbage stew, come, let's have a drink together as a family. ”
After speaking, he took a wine glass and drank it all.
The three brothers of Qin Chu were also very excited, and they drank the wine in the wine glass in one gulp.
Qin Yuan didn't drink a drop of wine many years ago, and he has always cherished words like gold, rarely speaking, let alone joking, and confiding in his heart that he wants to eat cabbage stew.
In the past, even during the New Year's holidays, my father's opening remarks only said a few words, and the opening wine was just a pretense, but today he said so much at once, and drank the wine in the glass in one go, obviously he was extremely happy today.
Mrs. Qin used her sleeve to block the wine glass and drank it all, and when she saw Qin Yuan pour another glass, she frowned slightly and said, "Husband, you haven't drunk wine for many years, and today you are injured again......"
Qin Yuan smiled and said, "This little injury is not in the way. After speaking, he poured a glass of wine for Mrs. Qin.
Shangguan Ruolan also drank all the wine in the cup, then picked up the chopsticks to pick up the cabbage stew, and said while clipping: "You all say that the cabbage stew made by the mother-in-law is delicious, I want to know how delicious it is." ”
Mrs. Qin shouted angrily: "Ruolan ......"
"What's wrong...... Mother-in-law ...... "Shangguan Ruolan's chopsticks were just halfway out, and she was startled by this angry shout, stopped her chopsticks, stuck out her tongue and said: "It's wrong again, it's ...... mother-in-law."
"It's not a wrong problem, the Qin family was also a big family in the Central Plains more than a thousand years ago, although it is no longer as glorious as it used to be, but some of the rules that remain are still to be observed. Mrs. Qin said solemnly.
"What rules, what rules?" Shangguan Ruolan saw that Mrs. Qin seemed to be really angry, so she didn't dare to pick up the vegetables again.
Mrs. Qin coughed lightly, and the sister-in-law gave a pair of children a look.
Qin Zheng and Qin Zhu stood up and said, "Grandpa, grandma, please eat, father, father, mother, second uncle, second aunt, third uncle, please eat." ”
The two little ones, one four and one five, spoke in a milky voice, but they were uniform, apparently they had practiced it a long time ago, and had said it many times together.
Qin Yuan and Mrs. Qin looked at each other and smiled, picked up the chopsticks, and said amiably: "Eat, eat." ”
The two little guys sat down and picked up the chopsticks, but they didn't pick up the vegetables.
Qin Xin continued: "Daddy, please eat, eldest brother, sister-in-law, second brother and second sister-in-law." ”
This is the rule of Qin's family meal, on a formal occasion, the younger generation must first invite the elders to eat.
It was supposed to be Shangguan Ruolan next, but she pretended not to see anything, holding chopsticks in her hand, holding them in the air, still maintaining the posture just now, but muttering in her mouth that she didn't know what she was muttering.
Qin Kai stopped caring about her when he saw it, and invited the elders to eat, and after Qin Chu finished speaking, Qin Yuan picked up a chopstick dish with a smile.
Shangguan Ruolan slapped the chopsticks on the table, and said unhappily: "What is the rule, let's talk about it, the dishes are already cold." Seeing that no one was paying attention, she turned to Qin Xin and said, "You promised to tell me a story, tell me quickly, how did you win those people today, and what tricks did you use?"
Qin Xin said a little impatiently: "Second sister-in-law, eat." ”
"Eat, eat, talk about eating so many times, do you family know about eating?" Shangguan Ruolan said as she spoke, her eyes turned to Qin Xin and continued: "Do you want to lie to me?"
"What am I lying to you, I mean eat first......" Qin Xin said helplessly, but as soon as he said two words, he suddenly felt that the cold hairs on his body stood upside down, I don't know why, Shangguan Ruolan at this time suddenly gave him a very dangerous feeling.
