Chapter 9: Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner

"Second master, it's really a lot, come, come and have another drink."

Shen Qiao and Su Yu had been drinking at the wine table for half an hour, and the two had a very happy conversation, quite a bit of hatred for each other. Shen Qiao smiled and poured another glass of wine for Su Yu, Tang You sat aside, seeing that Su Yu was drunk, his originally fair face was already red, and he couldn't even reach out to help the wine glass, obviously drunk. She got up and reached out to grab the wine jug from Shen Qiao's hand, looked at Shen Qiao and said, "Okay, it's not too early, we should go back too." ”

Seeing this, Shen Qiao glanced at Su Yu who was lying on the table, glanced at Tang You, walked up to her, and whispered in her ear, "Sister, this is a good opportunity." ”

Tang looked at him puzzled, "What do you mean?" ”

"This is the second master of the Su family, as long as you marry him, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth from now on, my brother has already helped you here, do you need me to say more about the future?"

Tang You saw Shen Qiao's smiling look of ill will, sighed secretly in his heart, and said to him, "Didn't I say it, I will support myself with my own craftsmanship from now on, and I will never rely on others." You'd better stop thinking about it. ”

"My stupid sister, why are you so unenlightened, I just saw that this second master also likes you a lot, and cares about you everywhere. If you marry in the future, he will not treat you badly. If you give birth to another son and a half daughter for him, you will live a long time after..."

Tang You interrupted him and said, "Brother, you also know that he is the second master of the Su family, what kind of person he is on weekdays, don't you understand, he just thinks I'm interesting now, so he has a little more thought about me, and when the freshness is over in the future, there are so many young and beautiful girls, how can he still care about me?" Even if I do marry him in the future, it will only be a fight for a man with a group of women, and I don't want to live like that. ”

Shen Qiao looked at Tang You's determined expression, was silent for a moment, then didn't say anything, opened the door and called Xiao Er outside the door, and the two helped the drunk and unconscious Su Yu downstairs.

When he got out of the restaurant, the snow outside had become smaller, and there were fine snowflakes floating in the sky, the coachman saw that Shen Qiao and Xiao Er were helping Su Yu down, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help him together, and the three of them worked together to help Su Yu into the carriage and lie down, Tang You handed the white mink fur to Shen Qiao to cover Su Yu, after the car door was closed, Su Yu, who was lying inside, slowly opened his eyes, he looked at the lamp in the carriage and fell into contemplation, and the swaying orange light reflected in his inky peach blossom eyes.

After the carriage left, Shen Qiao held up an oil-paper umbrella to cover Tang You, and the two walked in the snow.

"Sister, I feel like you've become a little different from before." Shen Qiao leaned on the umbrella and tilted it to Tang You's head, and the snow fell on his other shoulder.

"What's the difference?" Tang You was stunned when he heard this.

"Before, your biggest wish was to marry a rich man."

"Yes, maybe people will become mature after experiencing life and death. Since that incident, I have come to understand that it is better to rely on no one than on myself. ”

Shen Qiao was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then said, "But even if you are an embroiderer girl for a lifetime, you can't become a rich man." ”

"Not necessarily." Tang You smiled, "Maybe I can earn a lot of money in the future, and when I have money in the future, I will open another embroidery room and make the clothes I want to make, so that everyone can wear the clothes I make." ”

Shen Qiao looked at Tang You's confident smiling face, was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "That's right, my sister is so powerful, she will definitely be able to make a lot of money in the future." ”

Tang You smiled and didn't speak again, her dream since childhood was to be able to design her favorite clothes, so that everyone can feel happy because of wearing her clothes, this is also her original intention as a fashion designer for so many years, she loves her profession, every time she designs a satisfactory style of clothes for guests, when she looks at the happy smile on their faces when they wear the clothes they design, Tang You's heartfelt joy is indescribable, she likes this feeling very much, although she has now traveled to this era, There is no way to realize her dream for the time being, but she believes that one day, she can also have her own piece of the world in this dynasty.

"By the way, sister, can you tell my brother what kind of man you like? Let my brother pick for you? Shen Qiao said suddenly.

What kind of man? This makes Tang You a little unable to answer, she is still single at the age of twenty-nine in modern times, she has talked about two boyfriends before, both broke up for various reasons, and there is no unforgettable feeling, and then she has been single, even if the family is forced to go on a blind date, she is also perfunctory and confused in the past, she has always felt that a person's life is also very good, she doesn't want to fall in love, and she doesn't want to get married, she is an unmarried person, and then one day she went to see "Beijing Meets Seattle", there is a clip of sperm donation in the United States to get pregnant and have children, She suddenly thought that maybe she could do this in the future, choose a man with excellent genes, do a test-tube baby, give birth to herself, don't need to get married, and don't need the child's father, and raise it by herself, of course, this must also be based on her own good conditions and enough money to raise this child. So she thought about it and said to Shen Qiao, "Look at fate, you can meet when fate comes." ”

On Chinese New Year's Eve, window flower couplets were pasted on the doors and windows of every household, Tang You was stir-frying vegetables in the stove room, Shen Qiao was pasting couplets on the gate of the yard, just after pasting, he heard someone knocking on the courtyard door, he hurriedly went to open the door, "Here it is!" ”

When the courtyard door opened, he saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl standing at the door, a delicate girl and an old lady with a kind face, Shen Qiao was slightly stunned, and then saw the girl smiled sweetly and said, "You are Qiao'er's brother, right?" I'm Yuxiu. ”

Shen Qiao then remembered that Tang You mentioned to him a few days ago that on Chinese New Year's Eve, Yuxiu and her mother were invited to come to their house for the New Year, and there were many people and lively, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Look at my memory, big lady, Yuxiu, you come in quickly." As he spoke, he welcomed Yuxiu and the eldest lady into the house and poured them two cups of tea, "My sister is cooking in the stove room, you sit down for a while, and I'll call her." ”

Yuxiu stood up and said with a smile, "Brother Shen, you're welcome, I'll also go to the stove room to help." ”

"How embarrassing is this, the visitor is a guest, you just sit."

"Brother Shen, you really don't have to be so polite, Qiao'er and I are just like sisters, if you treat me as an outsider, I won't be happy."

Seeing this, Shen Qiao also smiled, "That's okay." Auntie, you sit here for a while. ”

The eldest lady smiled and nodded, and then Yuxiu said, "You go." ”

Yuxiu smiled and hummed, then followed Shen Qiao to the stove room, saw Tang You was busy on the pot table, and said with a smile, "Qiao'er, I'm here." ”

"Yuxiu, you're here." She stopped her movements and said with a smile, "There are two dishes left, and you can eat them." ”

Yuxiu saw that there were already four dishes in the cupboard, so she said, "Why are you cooking so many dishes, it's just the four of us, how can we finish eating." ”

Shen Qiao listened and said with a smile, "It's rare that there are many people this year, tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve, you can't burn a few more!" ”

"Big brother, have you bought the wine? When the time comes, you won't have enough wine to drink, but you can't do it. Tang You said with a smile.

Shen Qiao patted his head when he heard this, "Yes, I only bought a pot of wine, so hurry up and buy another pot." So saying, he ran out.

"Huh? Brother Shen, you don't need to buy it anymore, one pot is enough. Yuxiu was about to stop him, but he heard Tang You say with a smile, "Let him go, I'm happy today!" ”

Yuxiu also smiled when she heard this, walked up to Tang You's side, and said with a smile, "Then is there anything else you need my help with?" ”

Tang You was also polite, pointed to the garlic leaves on the table, and said with a smile, "Then you can help me take this garlic leaf." ”

"Okay."

Tang You brought the food to the table, Yuxiu helped set the dishes, Shen Qiao took a string of firecrackers and put them in front of the door to light them, there was a crackling sound outside, Shen Qiao closed the door, and the four of them sat at the table.

The eldest lady looked at the dishes on the table, looked at Tang You with a smile and said, "Qiao'er is really virtuous, she has cooked so many dishes." ”

Tang You said with a smile, "Auntie, there are six in total, which means six or six Shun!" ”

Shen Qiao also smiled and said, "Yes, this year's Chinese New Year's Eve is the most lively year, and it used to be me and Qiao'er." He said as he picked up the wine glass on the table and said with a smile, "Welcome to our house with Auntie and Yuxiu." ”

Tang You also smiled and said, "Come, let's make this glass of wine together." ”

Seeing this, Shen Qiao said with a smile, "Sister, you get drunk as soon as you get drunk, can you drink it?" ”

Tang You also said, "It's rare to be happy today, if you're drunk, you're drunk, come on, let's have a drink." The four men stood up.

"I wish my aunt good health and happiness like the East China Sea." Shen Qiao took the lead.

"I wish Brother Shen a lot of money next year and a great fortune in the New Year." Yuxiu said with a smile.

"Then I wish Yuxiu more and more beautiful, and all her wishes come true." Tang You also said with a smile.

"My old man wishes you young children all the best and all the best."

The four wine glasses of everyone touched together, and the noisy firecrackers outside the door came and went.

Tang You really had a drunken physique, and before he had drunk two glasses, he fell down on the table, was helped by Shen Qiao and Yuxiu, and covered the quilt. The other three sat at the table and continued to eat, and after three rounds of drinking, Yuxiu and Shen Qiao chatted again.

"Brother Shen, what are you doing now?" Yuxiu's face was flushed because of the wine.

Shen Qiaoxu was happy tonight, the two pots of wine on the table were almost drunk by him alone, and he was already a little drunk at this time, and his speech was a little unskillful, "I... Just start a small business... Gangster days..."

"Oh, I heard Qiao'er say that she was brought up by you since she was a child, and the relationship between the two of you is really good."

"That's... She's been very clingy to me since I was a child... I remember she probably... When I was five or six years old... Once she slept alone at home... I went out to run errands and locked the door... She woke up and couldn't see me... Crying all morning... Then I just went out... She's going to follow my ass... Not a single step away... It's like a little... Where did I go... Where is she following..."

Yuxiu sneered when she heard this, her delicate little face seemed to be dyed with intoxicating carmine, she poured another glass of wine for Shen Qiao, and said with a smile, "Did you teach Qiao'er's female red?" Taught so well? ”

Shen Qiao looked at her and smiled, "That's not... Qiao'er's favorite thing since she was a child is that she is a female celebrity... Since I was a child, I couldn't sew a piece of clothing in Dalian..."

Yuxiu was stunned when she heard this, and said with a smile, "Brother Shen is really joking, Qiao'er's female red is the best in our embroidery village." ”

Shen Qiao took a bite of food, picked up the wine glass and drank it all again, squinted his eyes, and said seriously, "Really... What am I lying to you for... She didn't know how to embroider before...... After... Afterward... It was the time when I came out of the Meng Mansion... Seriously ill... Suddenly it's going to be embroidery... You said... Amazing no? ”

"Mengfu? But the Meng family embroidery village in the north city? Yuxiu asked curiously.

"That's right! It's that Meng family embroidery village! When Shen Qiao said this, he suddenly hammered the table excitedly, his drunken eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and shouted, "That hateful Uncle Meng!" If it weren't for him... My sister won't lose her innocence either! I've got this in mind... Wait a minute... Find an opportunity... I'm going to beat him up... For my sister...... Take revenge..."After Shen Qiao said this, he also fell asleep on the table.

Yuxiu's face became very ugly after listening, she sat quietly and didn't know what she was thinking, and when the eldest lady heard this, she also sighed and said, "Hey, I didn't expect this Qiao'er to be a poor child, I think she is really a good girl, Yuxiu, you usually have the best relationship, you must get along well in the future and support each other." ”

Yuxiu came back to her senses and said with a smile, "Mother, you can rest assured." The two helped Shen Qiao back to the room, and put away the dishes and chopsticks on the table, then closed the door and went out.
