Chapter 281: Merry Debt
Yu Zhaocai suddenly made a move to salute first and then to soldier, and he really bluffed people for a moment, but this widow was stunned for a few seconds, and then came back to her senses, with an unacceptable sad expression, looking at Yu Zhaocai as if looking at a negative man, and said, "Yu Gongzi, what are these words?" A widow in someone's house, Yu Gongzi took someone to someone's house, and no one said that he was going to report to the official, Yu Gongzi said that he was not polite as soon as he opened his mouth, then Yu Gongzi said how to be polite to others, ah? ”
This widow is not a fuel-efficient lamp at all, Yu Zhaocai's first salute and then soldier, people don't eat this set at all, the beautiful widow said aggressively, and while speaking, she took two steps forward aggressively, forcing Yu Gongzi to take two steps back.
Cheng Xi saw that he was not idle, and he helped on the side, "I said Yu Gongzi, it was you who broke into other people's homes, and you still have to be unkind to others, it's too unkind." ”
Cheng Xi made a noise, and the beautiful widow felt that she was more reasonable, and snorted coldly, with an expression of looking down on Yu Zhaocai for being so stylish, and she just choked Yu Zhaocai.
Cheng Xi saw that the person who usually hangs Erlang was deflated when he had always been evil, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
The beautiful widow spoke again, "Besides, people are also very picky, have they said that they want to pester Yu Gongzi?" ”
The beautiful widow said, her eyes scanning Yu Zhaocai up and down, with an expression that I can't look down on you, and continued, "People just asked why Gongzi Wen left. ”
Then the beautiful widow no longer paid attention to Yu Zhaocai, who felt humiliated, turned her head to look at Cheng Xi, and her speech returned to normal a little, and asked, "Mrs. Dongjia, I heard that Mr. Wen is a guest of your family, so do you know where he is from and where he is going?" Can there be a match? ”
Where would Cheng Xi be kind enough to answer this kind of question for Gongzi Wenyuan, he got drunk and caused the trouble, or let him solve it himself, so Cheng Xi said, "I don't know very well, you better go and ask Gongzi Wen himself, in the room over there, do you look like Gongzi Wen?" ”
The beautiful widow's eyes lit up when she saw the figure in the room, and she said "thank you" to Cheng Xi, twisted the waist of the water snake and walked over quickly.
Cheng Xi looked at the back of the beautiful widow leaving, with a gloating expression, but Cheng Xi did not continue to watch, but went to the kitchen to help.
When I went back to the kitchen, the preparations were almost all done, and the dishes that Cheng Xi was going to do were also prepared, just waiting for Cheng Xi to go over and take charge.
After a while, Ah Wu came to the kitchen, saying that the three banquets were about to start, and he came to invite Cheng Xi over, and after Ah Wu told Cheng Xi, he stood at the door, waiting for Cheng Xi not to leave, Cheng Xi finished the dishes she was going to make first, and then followed Ah Wu to the main hall.
From a distance, Cheng Xi saw Xu Sanlang standing at the door of the main hall, looking at her, he should be waiting for her, Cheng Xi walked over quickly, and said with a smile, "Are you waiting for me?" ”
Xu Sanlang nodded, took Cheng Xi's hand, and went to the main hall, but he didn't care about the many people in the main hall at this time.
In the main hall, Xu Wenqiang sat in the first place wearing a brocade robe, with a happy face, Ma Shi sat in the first place on the side of the main hall in a brand new dress, holding the child in his hand and wrapping it in dark red brocade cloth, and standing next to the child's father Xu Dalang, with a smile on his face.
There is a large copper basin in front of the child, and the people in the main hall are going up to the basin one by one to throw gold, silver and copper coins, and send a few words of blessing.
Xu Sanlang took Cheng Xi to step forward, and then Xu Sanlang really took out two gold ingots from his arms and threw them into the basin in front of him as he said before, which simply blinded the eyes of many people, and Cheng Xi was busy learning the people in front of him to say a few words of blessing.
After approaching, Cheng Xi found that there was still a basin of steaming water in the basin, and it seemed that there was still a smell of medicine.
Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi stepped forward to finish saying the words of blessing, Xu Wenqiang smiled on his face because his eyes couldn't see, two gold ingots, not to mention that it was its value, in front of so many people, it was too much to give him face.
Xu Wenqiang greeted the two warmly, "Don't stand, hurry up and sit, Awen, don't pestle there, hurry up and make way for San Lang." ”
Arwen had to stand up from that position and beckoned, "Master, sit here." There were so many people in the hall, but he finally found such a place to sit down with Xu Lan, for the sake of his master, he endured it.
Xu Sanlang didn't sit down, but stood with Ah Wen and said to Cheng Xi, "You two sit." ”
Seeing his master standing with him, and his daughter-in-law and wife sitting in front, Ah Wen's heart was completely satisfied, and his heart was becoming more and more humane.
Cheng Xi said that as soon as he sat down, he approached Xu Lan curiously, and asked in a low voice, "Why is there a basin of water in that basin?" ”
Xu Lan glanced at Cheng Xi speechlessly before she spoke, "Of course it's for the child to wash the three." ”
Cheng Xi didn't take Xu Lan's speechlessness to heart at all, and continued to ask shamelessly, "What kind of washing?" That basin of water is for bathing children? ”
Xu Lan nodded, and whispered, "Before you came, the washing ceremony had already been held, let's add a basin here, and after that, it will be the mother-in-law to wash the child, you can wait and see." ”
After that, Xu Lan didn't speak again, Cheng Xi didn't ask again, and after seeing that the people in the main hall finished adding a basin, an elderly mother-in-law stepped forward and followed Ma to take off the robe that Ma was holding outside, and put it in a copper basin to bathe the child.
But it turned out that this bath is also exquisite, not a simple bath, the mother-in-law is washing the child, and her mouth is still chanting, "Wash your hair first, be a prince; After washing the waist, one generation pours the other generation high; Wash the eggs, and be the ...... of the county"
Cheng Xi listened to it, but felt that these greetings were quite interesting.
When the ceremony was almost at the end, there was a commotion at the door, and Cheng Xi also looked at the door, and then frowned slightly.
The people who came in at the door really made Cheng Xi not very happy, officially the Xu family headed by Mrs. Xu, followed by Xu Wenlong and Xu Wenyu, Cheng Xi really couldn't understand why this uncle Xu Wenqiang wanted to invite these people to ruin the fun.
As soon as the old lady Xu entered the door, she saw that the child's three baptisms were about to end, so she frowned and said, "Isn't this baptism after the feast?" Why didn't you wait for us to come? ”
Xu Wenqiang looked at the people who came in at the door, but he didn't plan to move while sitting, he only looked at the few people standing in the middle of the main hall and said, "Who am I, it turns out that my mother and my younger brothers are here, and it is not over yet, so I have time to add a pot." ”
Mrs. Xu angrily stretched out her hand and pointed at Xu Wenqiang, "You are not a filial son." ”
Xu Wenqiang replied coldly, "What, isn't my mother here to say hello to her son today, and is she here to dismantle her son's platform?" Why, the fourth brother disturbed San Lang's marriage ceremony at the beginning, and today he is here to stir up the happy event of the eldest brother's family? ”
Xu Wenyu hurriedly stepped forward to grab the old lady who was about to continue to lose her temper, and said, "What is the eldest brother talking about, my younger brother is here, of course he is here to say hello to the eldest brother." ”
After speaking, Xu Wenyu stepped forward, took out two silver nudes and put them in the basin, and said, "Live a long life." ”
Xu Wenqiang stood up unhurriedly, actually went to the basin, took out the two silver nudes, and handed them directly to the midwife-in-law who helped wash the child on the side, and said, "Thank you." ”
When the midwife-in-law saw the thank-you gifts of the two silver nudes, she didn't care where the silver nudes came from, and she quickly put them away and kept thanking them.
Xu Wenyu watched Xu Wenqiang's movements, his face turned blue and white, and finally endured it and didn't say anything, but it was Mrs. Xu, who finally couldn't help but scold, "You loser, that's six taels of silver, you just gave this old woman like this?" ”
The midwife-in-law also saw the doorway, put away the flattering smile on her face when she thanked her, and said with a cold face like an elder, "The old man admits the child and washes the three, the master of the house is willing to give so much reward, what is the reason for you to mix with an old woman?" ”
This midwife-in-law is not young, she often admits children in the village, and she is very respected by the villagers, and it just so happens that most of the people in the main hall are from Lihua Village, so they all began to point fingers at the old lady Xu in the main hall.
didn't need Xu Wenqiang to open his mouth, Mrs. Xu lost face in front of so many people, but everyone still underestimated Mrs. Xu's thick-skinned nature, and shouted in a sharp voice, "I'll teach my son a lesson, what's the matter with you, and then mutter and drive you all out." ”
This Xu Wenyu was shocked again, but this time it was not because Xu Wenqiang slapped his face, but because he was embarrassed by his pig teammates in the united front.
In the end, Xu Wenyu still grabbed Mrs. Xu, who was still scolding, in time, and said, "Mother, today is a big day for the eldest brother's family, it is rare to invite you to come, you can say a few words." ”
In the end, Xu Wenyu is scheming, even if he persuades her mother not to make trouble, there is something in his words that implies that Xu Wenqiang never invites his mother over, in other words, he is unfilial.
Only Xu Wenyu looked down on these people in the hall, most of the people in this hall are simple and simple, but they don't have as many fancy intestines as Xu Wenyu, Mrs. Xu's straightforward words, everyone can hear it clearly, Xu Wenyu's meaning is meaningful, but no one can deeply understand it, so no one will accuse Xu Wenqiang of being unfilial, and everyone still accuses Mrs. Xu of deliberately demolishing the stage when her son's family has a happy event.
Of course, before this, Xu Wenqiang also publicized how eccentric his wife was, and in the hearts of many people in Lihua Village, he had already left an impression of eccentricity for Mrs. Xu.
"I kindly invited them to come, but as soon as they came, they made a fuss, so it was better not to invite them."
