Chapter 185: The Feast

After the launch of the perfume with the name of 'LancΓ΄me', in less than three days, it swept the whole Xiping in an instant, it was rare and practical, and captured the hearts of countless young girls, girls, women, mothers-in-law and old women.

It also made the Cheng family's Manyun Xiangfang the most profitable business in Xiping Jiucheng in one fell swoop, Cheng Yan and the guys in the Xiangfang were very busy, and even had to transfer people from other Zhuangzi.

Because the stock will be out of stock in less than two hours after the opening every day, Cheng Yan had to decide to close the business for a day, and wait for the spare spices to be shipped in the afternoon, which can be regarded as a game of hunger marketing.

Although he was so tired that he didn't care about his head, the hero who single-handedly contributed to such a magnificent scene slept soundly on the tent bed on the third floor of the Tinglan Water Pavilion, and even drooled water.

When Cheng Yan came, it was exactly seven o'clock in the morning, he opened a pair of tired eyes, and there was a wound on the back of his hand that was scratched by those women who robbed the goods, and when he saw Qingmiao coming down from the third floor, he said lightly: "What about Cheng Qi?" ”

Qingmiao was preparing the clothes for Cheng Qi, and when she saw Cheng Yan hurriedly saluting, she said obediently: "It turned out to be Young Master Zongyu." Glancing back, "Who is still there for our girl, slave to call." ”

Who knew that Cheng Yan shook his head, took the clothes in Qingmiao's hand and walked up: "No need, I'll call, you go and prepare warm water for washing, and also ask Yueying and them to prepare snacks before the meal." ”

These days, Cheng Yan always comes, and after getting Mrs. Cheng's 'care' permission, he no longer seems to deliberately avoid the difference between men and women.

"Yes."

Qingmiao looked surprised, and went downstairs with dexterous steps.

Cheng Yan went upstairs, put his clothes on the circle chair next to him, sat on the side of Cheng Qi's tent bed, and looked at Cheng Qi's little face that was sleeping red because of provocation, Cheng Yan chuckled: "Hey, get up." ”

Cheng Qi didn't get up, but his ability to lie in bed was a must.

Cheng Yan continued to scream twice, and after realizing that the words were sloppy, he reached out and patted Cheng Qi's white and tender cheek, the man frowned, muttered a sentence in his mouth, and then took his hand down.

It's just that this series of actions was done unconsciously in her sleep, Cheng Qi didn't expect that she pushed Cheng Yan's hand away, but invisibly, she put that hand on her chest.

Cheng Yan didn't expect it, he raised his eyebrows in a little surprise, under the palm of his hand was the man's small hills, there was no such thing as a bra in this era, and the belly pocket was just a useless cloth, which was soft and warm, and seemed to have a fragrance......

Cheng Yan cleaned his Adam's apple and rolled up and down clearly.

"It feels really ......"

"Cheng Yan?"

Cheng Yan's attention was on the small lump of flesh under his palm, and Cheng Qi's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and he was dumbfounded with a hoarse feeling that he woke up from sleep...... The force on my hand suddenly increased!

If it weren't for Cheng Yan's sudden exertion, Cheng Qi wouldn't have realized that she had been rubbed with oil by that person, she was pressed and frowned, looked at the hand on her chest, opened her mouth, and subconsciously kicked her right leg over!

"Holy!"

Cheng Yan was quick-eyed, and as soon as he grabbed Cheng Qi's ankle, the man's sleeping pants were silky and slid down his calf, and the slippery skin scraped against his chin, making him lose his mind for a moment.

"Cheng Yan ......"

Cheng Qi's posture was very difficult, and he twitched his leg continuously: "Let me go!" ”

Cheng Yan's face was full of disgust, and he put down her leg by throwing, and ordered: "Get up." ”

Cheng Qi had been swinging for too long last night, a little sour and tired, and he didn't wake up at all, coupled with some rebellious psychology who didn't want to listen to Cheng Yan's words, he turned over and pulled the quilt: "I'm sorry, you get me up." ”

Cheng Yan glanced at the staircase, counting the time when Qingmiao and the others came up, the corners of his mouth were hooked, it was the kind of evil smile, and then he propped up his arms and leaned down suddenly.

Cheng Qi didn't finish speaking, she swallowed back at once, she looked at Cheng Yan's face that was suddenly enlarged, shrunk her neck nervously, and whispered: "Scare me, you ...... What are you doing? ”

Cheng Yan didn't speak, with that weird smile, getting closer and closer, smelling the smell of Cheng Qi's body, like an idiot, the pair of tearful eyes blinked lightly, and lowered his voice: "Xiaoqi? ”

Cheng Qi swooped all over his body, his hand holding the sheet tightened, Cheng Yan's words, his ears seemed to be filled with hot spring water, and the whole person was about to melt.

"I ...... I am. She was stupid and didn't know what she was answering.

Cheng Yan's smile deepened, leaned into the person's ear, and was about to tease her again, when he suddenly heard the sound of someone going upstairs, and there was more than one person, and the smile on his face disappeared unhappily in an instant......

And so.

As soon as Qingmiao and Yueying went upstairs, they saw Cheng Yan roaring angrily into Cheng Qi's ear.

"Get upβ€”"

Cheng Yan roared as a lion in Hedong.

Cheng Qi also snorted, covered his ears with the situation, and almost scolded the swear words.

She stared at those peach blossom eyes, obviously angry, but she still looked cute, what is wrong with Cheng Yan, she was still here one second ago, and the next second she turned into a charter wife.

This lion's roar is so deafening.

Of course, she didn't know, and Cheng Yan didn't want to suddenly yell at her like a psychopath, but it happened suddenly, so in order to avoid letting Qingmiao and them see it, she could only be so witty.

"Get up quickly." Cheng Yan threw her clothes, "I'm going to eat in the courtyard today." ”

Cheng Qi unhurriedly dressed and washed his face in the basin brought by Qingmiao, and then sat down in front of the dressing table, still a little sleepy and yawned: "It's been a long time since I went to my grandmother's place to eat." ”

Cheng Yan watched with his arms crossed, personally helped Cheng Qi choose this accessory, and said coldly: "Today is different, the second and third rooms will be here, and we have to discuss the banquet the day after tomorrow." ”

"A feast?"

Cheng Qi looked at Cheng Yan in the mirror, the man fiddled with the hairpin in his hand, his side face was impeccable, and his thick eyelashes looked three points better than her: "Why?" What day after tomorrow will it be? ”

Qingmiao, who helped Cheng Qi wipe his hands, reminded: "Girl, the day after tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, why did you forget?" ”

Cheng Qi suddenly realized and echoed: "The Dragon Boat Festival is a big day, and we really have to hold a banquet." After washing his face, he felt a lot more energetic, "Have you decided who will carry the cup and preside?" It won't be the third aunt today. ”

Yueying helped her pull her hair, pulled her head and looked at it: "This is not necessarily, the girl and the young master used the Manyun Xiangfang to win three rooms and one game, and they have made a name for themselves in Xiping, and the list of slaves for the banquet has also been seen, in addition to the relatives and friends who should be invited to the banquet, there are also a lot of special visits to the face, I think they are all coming for the girl, for the long room, they can't compete for the three rooms." ”

Cheng Qi nodded, but was forcibly supported by Yueying, and quickly straightened up to cooperate: "Yes, in the past, the long room was weak, and everything was overwhelmed by the three rooms, but now it is different." ”

Yueying smiled: "Yes, I have to fight a good turnaround battle today." ”

Cheng Qi glanced at Cheng Yan, and the man's expression gradually became serious, and he said lightly: "Yes, I will go to the Wuyuan Courtyard later, and above the food table, I am afraid that there will be a lot of open and secret fighting." ”

Cheng Qi got up, looked at his delicate appearance that was ready to go, smiled brightly at the mirror, a mouthful of white teeth shining, and knocked on his chest: "No one is afraid, let's go!" ”

Cheng Yan looked at her appearance, chuckled secretly, and said with a straight face: "Childish." ”

…

…

In the courtyard, the morning food was going on in an orderly manner, and Cheng Qi didn't want to continue to sit next to Cheng Shu today, but he didn't want to startle the snake, so he had to act as if nothing had happened.

"Grandma, you take a bite of this fish."

Cheng Shu affectionately sandwiched food for her.

Cheng Qi cooperated and ate, and couldn't stop admiring: "It's delicious." ”

Seeing that she had returned to her previous heartless appearance, Cheng Shu didn't know whether to rest assured or not, and turned her head to Cheng Yunduo's gaze, her eyes flashed with embarrassment, but she still obeyed the man's instructions and opened her mouth.

"Grandma."

Cheng Shu said lightly: "That LancΓ΄me's perfume sister also used it, but it was really very spirited, there was no smell when it was poured out, and after lighting the small stove, it was fragrant and pleasant." ”

Cheng Qi took a sip of the soup, her eyes were only staring at the food on the table, she knew that Cheng Shu was secretly inquiring about the recipe made of powdered water, so she said casually: "Sister Yu'er likes it, that thing doesn't choke, and the dependence of the taste is also very good, I asked the guy from Xiangfang to send you some more." ”

Cheng Shu was stunned for a moment, and laughed twice: "That's bothering you." ”

Cheng Qi was so logical, and naturally blocked her words: "What's the trouble, we are good sisters, I will make a new and better one in the future, and I will be the first to send it to you." patted Cheng Shu's hand, and found that the person's fingertips were very cold, and he didn't pierce it, but he still smiled and said, "If you don't need it, you can also take it and share it with your girlfriends, and ask them to help try it out and help Xiangfang publicize it." ”

Seeing this, Cheng Shu had to nod.

Cheng Yunduo saw all this in his eyes, and listened to what Cheng Qi said about the trial and publicity, and then he knew that he had underestimated Cheng Qi's brainpower, this kid is not only very powerful, but also has a very good business mind.

The satin village and the incense shop have always been tepid in his hands, but once they are in the hands of her and Cheng Yan, they not only come back to life, but they are also extremely prosperous, and they have soared all the way.

Now in the whole Xiping, I don't know how many people laugh at him behind his back, the old man who has been doing business all his life is not as good as two and a half old children, and some people say that Cheng Qi is worthy of being Cheng Yunyang's biological daughter, and he has the same business acumen as his own father, no matter how hard he tries, he is not as good as others.

On the other side, that is, the second room, used to look at the third room alone, and Cheng Yunshan wanted to better maintain his place in this mansion, so he had to tie up the third room and step on the long house to live.

Now, the situation has changed, and he can't figure out who has a longer future, and he has less to say.

But Cheng Pei was unwilling, she just looked at Cheng Shu and Cheng Qi's good sisters and said, she couldn't remember that there was such a third sister as herself, and coughed lightly: "Sister Xiu, can't this perfume only have Sister Yu'er's share?" ”

Cheng Qi didn't look at it, and continued to eat with his head down.

Cheng Pei was extremely embarrassed.

Seeing the situation, Cheng Shu hurriedly said: "If Pei'er likes it, my sister will give you some shares." ”

Cheng Pei didn't mean this, it was Cheng Yunshan who asked her to ease the relationship with Cheng Qi, but she knew very well in her heart that she and Cheng Qi were enemies in the past life and opponents in this life, and it was impossible to reconcile.

"Thank you, Sister Yu'er."

Cheng Pei looked at Cheng Qi coldly, and said, "In the end, Sister Yu'er is considerate, but Sister Axiu...... Sure enough, when he became famous and sought after, he didn't take his sisters seriously. ”

After she finished saying this sourly, the atmosphere of the morning food suddenly became a little stiff, and Zheng patted her leg below, thinking about how to end it.

"Cheng Pei, I heard that you have recently gotten very close to Chen Wang of the Chen family."

Cheng Qi said this coldly.

When the people at the table heard this, all their attention was focused on Cheng Pei's body, the man was stunned, the panic in his eyes was almost gushing, and the chopsticks were so hung up: "You...... What nonsense are you talking about? ”

Sure enough, no matter how high-flying Cheng Pei is on weekdays, he is still a thirteen-year-old child in essence, and the little secret in his heart is brought to the surface and said, and he has no words at once.

And Cheng Qi looked at her sideways, still scooping the soup in his hand, and said innocently: "Really?" I heard Qingmiao say that when she and Yueying secretly ran out to watch the play, they saw you and Chen Wang in the Golden Garden. ”

I was seen, I was seen!

Cheng Pei glared, and just wanted to explain, Cheng Dai next to him directly threw a sentence and put the matter on the ground.

"What are you two doing watching a play together?" He said.

"I didn't!"

Cheng Pei was discovered, so she had to defend herself pale and excitedly: "What nonsense are you sisters and brothers talking about!" ”

Cheng Yan finished eating it early in the morning, gave the last shrimp to Cheng Qi, hugged his arms and condensed: "You sisters and brothers, you are not brothers and sisters with our long room at this time." ”

Cheng Pei was speechless.

"Okay, let's have a meal and don't stop like this."

In the end, it was Mrs. Cheng who interrupted the dispute between the juniors in this line, and also bypassed the matter of Cheng Pei and Chen Wang going out to watch the play without permission, but after speaking, she still glanced at Cheng Pei heavily.

The man bowed his head in fear.

"Rather than talking about those who don't have it, it's better to discuss the matter of the banquet the day after tomorrow." Mrs. Cheng said.

"My daughter-in-law will definitely do it."

As soon as Mrs. Cheng finished speaking, the Ji family in the third room took the lead.

Cheng Qi was secretly shocked, and said in his heart that this Ji family was really powerful, and secretly glanced at Cheng Yan, and the man said in front of everyone: "Third aunt, at today's banquet, just ask my mother to carry the cup and preside." ”

Ji's smile stiffened, and he said with a smile: "Zong Yu, this banquet is not a trivial matter, when the elders and relatives and friends of the clan will come, there will be no mistakes, and the sister-in-law is afraid that it will not be done properly." ”

Cheng Yan continued to say coldly: "Third aunt, please rest assured, my mother is also the eldest lady of the Gu family, it is one of the largest families in Xinyuan, when my mother was a girl in the past, this kind of occasion was also common, and my grandmother looked at it, and it was also a little bit like that, and it will be handed over to my mother this year, and it will not go wrong." ”

Ji didn't expect Cheng Yan to pout his face like this at the table, and hurriedly said: "Zongyu, you are still young, you don't know, this banquet is the most troublesome, and if you make a slight mistake, you will be laughed at and generous, not to mention that the sister-in-law has been sick all these years, even if she has seen it when she is a girl, she will be born for the first time, so it is better for the third aunt to come." ”

"I'm going to try everything."

Cheng Qi also said: "Mother is born once, isn't it familiar with it twice, besides, even if my mother is not familiar with those cumbersome things, isn't there Aunt Meng next to her to help, over the years, when you presided over the banquet, Aunt Meng has always been by the side, and nothing can go wrong." ”

It stands to reason that the Gu family is the eldest lady of the long house, and as the eldest lady of the clan, it is most reasonable for her to host this banquet, but the person was sick in the past, and this good thing that was in the limelight fell on the head of the Ji family.

Now, the children in this long room are helping the Gu family to get ahead, and she has no reason to continue standing, but banquets have always been a good opportunity to make a windfall.

Ji looked at Cheng Yunduo with some embarrassment, and the man naturally knew the stakes, so he said: "That Zongyu, what do you mean, the third uncle understands, in fact, this banquet should have been presided over by the sister-in-law from the beginning, and it was only because the sister-in-law was sick that the third aunt was allowed to take over, but ...... Just like your third aunt said, this banquet is not a trivial matter, and you can't make the slightest mistake, so it's better to ......"

He knew that he couldn't sweep a piece with a stick, and completely disagreed with Cheng Yan and Cheng Qi's request, and glanced at Old Madam Cheng unnaturally, the person's eyes were deep, as if he was also waiting for his decision.

"It's not as good as that." Cheng Yun took a step back and said, "It's better to ...... How about asking my sister-in-law to do it with your third aunt this year, so as not to make any mistakes, and ......"

"Nope."

Cheng Dai coldly refused on the side: "The long house is big, my mother is the great woman of the Guogong Mansion, and I must always distinguish between the main and the secondary." ”

Brothers and sisters sing red face and three-room push and pull, he is responsible for singing white face, directly throwing off the attitude, several children in the long room have always behaved like this, and naturally they can't leave behind Cheng Lan, who is old in peace.

"Taiheng."

The man carefully reminded Cheng Dai, and then smiled lightly at Cheng Yunduo: "Third uncle, Taiheng means that if the mother and the third aunt buy it together, it will inevitably seem too chaotic, and one person is the same, if the two disagree, who should listen to it, if the mother is the elder, then you have to listen to the mother, but the third aunt is more experienced, and she can't help but worry, in the end, it is still difficult for the next person to be embarrassed." ”

What he said made sense, and even Cheng Pei said in a rare neutral manner: "Third uncle, you just ask my eldest aunt to toast and host, with Aunt Meng's help, there is nothing wrong, besides, even if it is wrong, for the sake of the current face of the long house, who dares to say more." ”

Cheng Yunduo understands these truths, but he can't give in.

If the Gu family is allowed to preside over the cup, then how will they deal with themselves in the third room, doesn't this show that the current Guogong Mansion is the long house in charge?

After the LancΓ΄me perfume incident, the status of their three rooms in the Guogong Mansion was already in jeopardy, and they couldn't lose the banquet, which was a major event to re-consolidate their status as masters.

"Pei'er is right."

Cheng Yunduo still refused to give up and said: "It's just that my sister-in-law is still sick......

"Old lady."

Before Cheng Yunduo finished speaking, Red Ginseng suddenly came in and said, "The eldest lady and Aunt Meng have arrived." ”

Ji Shi was taken aback and hurriedly looked back.

"Let them in." Mrs. Cheng agreed.

Red ginseng responded, and quickly led the two people in, and after the Ji family saw the Gu family, they fell into decay, and only a few children in the long room showed a relieved smile.

Today's Gu family, a weak and sick state in the past, is radiant and full of energy, a pair of bright eyes with the gentleness brought to her by the years, and the strength of being a mother, wearing a goose-yellow skirt robe, shining in like a warm sunshine, smiling calmly, greeting Mrs. Cheng.

Aunt Meng behind her supported her, the man was plump, and he was as confident as usual.

Cheng Yunshan watched from the sidelines, and couldn't help but sigh, this Gu family is the best lady of a big family, no matter when she can handle it, from appearance to temperament, she has overwhelmed Ji's in all aspects.

With her presiding over the cup, who can say anything.

Mrs. Cheng hadn't seen Gu so energetic for a long time, so she smiled with relief, asked Gu to sit down, and then said with some emotion: "A-Ning, you've been sick for a long time, you can be regarded as alive." ”

Gu smiled: "Mother said that she laughed, and it was time to get up." ”

She said this very calmly, but judging from the current situation, it is very connotative.

Cheng Qi rolled his eyes, hurriedly leaned over to Gu's side, and said with a smile: "Mother, when the banquet is held the day after tomorrow, it is appropriate for you to dress like this and raise a cup." ”

Cheng Qi's words can be regarded as a confirmation of the matter of Gu's cup lifting.

Ji was shocked and wanted to say something, but he heard Old Madam Cheng say kindly: "Yes, yes." ”

Ji's heart was cold for a moment.

Finished.

Her good days in the Guogong Mansion are gone, she gritted her teeth and looked at Cheng Spruce, that person bought Holly to drug Gu's family, and there was no accident for so many years, but now it's good, Holly was sent back to her hometown by several children in Changfang, and Gu's family also made a comeback.

Waste, the people in the second room are too waste.

She finally begged Cheng Yunduo, but the Zheng family in the second room suddenly rushed in front of her and said: "Sister-in-law, you will host the banquets in the future, and it can be regarded as pulling the uncle's face, if there is anything that I and Tai Ping need to do, even if you open your mouth, we who are concubines will definitely help." ”

Gu Shi smiled: "Ah Fang, you are really polite. ”

And Cheng Yunduo saw the gentle smile on Zheng's face, and what he wanted to say just now swallowed back, and turned into the following words: "Sister-in-law, it's the first time to host a banquet, but don't be too busy, your body is just right, or your body matters." ”

Gu nodded.

Ji Shi watched from the sidelines, almost with fire in his eyes and smoke on his head.

Grandma's, no matter what you say, it's not easy to make it, but when the slut in the second room opened his mouth, you Cheng Yunduo has nothing to say, he and you have been married for more than ten years, and he is still not as good as that Zheng Fang!

Ji looked at Zheng with eyes like nails.

Sluts.
