Chapter One Hundred and Five: Beautiful Views
One hundred and five chapters of beautiful scenery
Cai Guodong was very angry because Cai Guangyi didn't pass the children's exam! And Gong Yuan, who is younger than Cai Guangyi, has already passed. Second Mrs. Gong also has to feast guests. Compared with the Gong family, the Cai family lost face. He was so angry that he didn't want to say anything to Cai Guangyi anymore, so he directly lifted the stool and smashed it.
Cai Guangyi ran faster than a rabbit this time, and in the blink of an eye, he hid behind the pillar and escaped his father's fierce blow. Chen couldn't help but smile and persuaded Cai Guodong: "Look at you, a person in his forties and fifties is angry with a child." Didn't I persuade you, this kind of thing depends on chance, as long as the child is motivated and well-behaved, it is better than anything. ”
Cai Guodong said with a white face: "I really expect him to have a good reputation, and I will worry less about him in the future, not to mention anything else, I can buy a few acres of land for him to live without paying taxes." ”
Chen just persuaded softly: "It's okay, he works so hard, there will always be a day when he gets up for the exam." Turning his head, he smiled at Cai Guodong and Yu Pozi behind his back: "That kid thinks about how to calculate people all day long, and it is unreasonable to be able to be admitted." ”
Mrs. Yu was also laughing: "The old man is not comfortable in his heart, will he not let the lady and the young lady go to the Gong family for a banquet?" ”
"That's not all." Chen sneered, "Second Mrs. Gong is also really, but is she just admitted to a show?" Is it also worth such fanfare? When Gong Yuanhe was admitted to Shu Jishi, he didn't see her setting the table for wine, which was too eye-catching. ”
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the Gong family's treat, and it was getting late. Cai Guodong and Chen took the four Mingfei sisters with a pinch, led a group of well-dressed maids and women to take three cars, and went to Gong's house in a mighty way.
Previously, Mrs. Gong only said that she invited a few friends from the family to go to the family banquet, taste orange crabs, taste chrysanthemums and hibiscus, who would have thought that she would even call the opera troupe to sing at home, and invited her brother to entertain male guests for her.
The garden of the Gong family is very large, and the stage is very chic, it is set on a small island in the middle of the lake, and the seats for everyone to watch the play are set on the water pavilion, one seat for the ladies, one seat for the ladies, and the men are located a little farther away, separated by weeping willows in the water, and they are not afraid of rudeness.
The banquet is particularly exquisite, not to mention the delicacies of the mountains and seas, the light crab is a selection of hairy crabs weighing half a catty, and the fruits include oranges and oranges that are listed in advance, as well as grapes, dates and peaches that are harvested late. According to a rough estimate, a table will cost about forty or fifty taels of silver, not to mention the cost of inviting a theater troupe.
Everyone felt that it was too much, but it was just a child's test, and it was so public, it was really worthy of being a businessman, with no foundation, no knowledge, and some contempt on his face. Plus I didn't expect it to be so public. The gifts and other things brought are too shabby in comparison, and they are a little unstable.
Second Mrs. Gong was sensitive and shrewd, and soon discovered everyone's emotions, and the money was not pleased, so she was angry, so she took Chen's knife: "Why didn't Guangyi come?" ”
Chen held the fan, and said lightly: "That kid is sad about losing this time, where do you have the heart to come out to play?" I'm sitting at home studying hard. ”
Second Mrs. Gong smiled: "This kid is really unlucky, this is the second time, right?" In fact, don't worry, take a few more exams and get in. ”
She always thought that a comparison would make people look up to her, but everyone couldn't get used to her frivolity, so they changed the topic with a smile and asked how the marriage of Yuan Sipu, the second wife of Yuan, was going, but there were people who liked it, and asked about Yuan Mei'er again, praising Yuan Mei'er for her extraordinary bearing and upright beauty. Some people asked the girls of the Chen family's Cai family, but few people asked about the Gong family, and the second Mrs. Gong felt that she was a coward as the master, and she was even more annoyed.
There was a chuckle from the girls. A mother-in-law hurriedly came over and said, "Madam, the ladies said that it was boring to watch a play, so it is better to take a boat to swim in the lake." ”
If you want to say that you can row and play in the garden at home, there are not many in this water city. Second Mrs. Gong had the heart to win back a game and show off, so she ordered an experienced mother-in-law with a smile to support the boat and invite a few young ladies to take a boat to the lake. He also asked Chen and the others if they wanted to swim around: "My lord planted a forest of trees on the east side of this lake, and the boat passed from below, and every time he fell into a wooden tree, his hair and clothes were everywhere, and he had to be fragrant for two days and two nights......
Second Mrs. Yuan shook her fan with a smile: "No, you specially invited the troupe to come, the girls have already gone, let's go again, but no one will listen to the play, isn't it a waste of people's good singing?" Let's go back another day. ”
When everyone heard this, they all agreed, and Second Mrs. Yuan had no choice but to give up. Chen heard Second Lady Yuan whisper to a mother-in-law beside her, "The crab is too cold, tell the people around the third son, keep an eye on it, and definitely not eat more." ”
Not long after, a mother-in-law came with a smile: "The sons and gentlemen don't like to listen to the play, so they made an appointment to go to the garden, only a few masters were left to drink in it, chanting poems against it, Jinhua wine has been drunk three or four jars, and the uncle asked the lady to instruct the kitchen to prepare a decanting soup." ”
Mrs. Zhou Tongzhi smiled: "Okay, the girls swim in the lake." The boys visit the garden, the old men chant poems against each other, and our sisters also come to guess the boxing tricks! And so the crowd burst into laughter.
However, it shows that the Fei and the others got on two small boats, and the boat was an ordinary boat prepared by the Gong family to catch fish and shrimp and pick lotus roots, and there was no canopy to cover the sun, and it was extremely narrow.
Gong Jingqi's instructions rowed towards the wooded forest to the east. Approaching the destination, I saw a few gorgeous fiery clouds hanging in the sky, a few cold stars twinkling, a faint crescent moon hanging in the sky, and the evening breeze sent a faint fragrance of wood trees. A few girls are crazy.
Gong Jingqi shook her hand at the boat lady, the boat girl put away the oars, and the boat swung freely towards the woody forest, getting closer, and saw countless rice-sized wooden petals falling with the wind like a drizzle, and listened to the long and short cries of the crickets in the forest, which was really quiet and beautiful.
Yuan Mei'er was full of poetry, and was about to write a poem, when suddenly Mingzi next to him sneezed loudly. Everyone was stunned and laughed, several woodfinchs flew up from the forest in a panic, and the crickets in the forest shouted hoarsely and no longer made a sound, and the quiet and beautiful atmosphere just now suddenly disappeared.
Yuan Mei'er's poetry was interrupted, so she blamed Mingzi: "Since you are not in good health, you shouldn't come out to play, and when you go back with a cool breeze, you will make everyone uneasy." ”
When Mingzi heard this, she felt that she was bullying her, and she burst into tears at the moment, and leaned on Mingfei's shoulder aggrievedly: "Third sister." I didn't mean to ......"
As he was talking, the two boats touched the shore one after the other, and suddenly shook, several girls screamed first, and then laughed, and Mingzi's tears were not good to flow. At this time, there were suddenly a few strange cries in the forest: "Quack...... Quack ......"
"Ahh Ghosts! Gong Jingqi bluffed and screamed. Except for Ming Fei alone, the rest of the girls hugged each other in a bunch. Gong Jingqi laughed, jumped off the boat and landed on the shore and pointed to the forest: "I have seen you a long time ago, get out of here!" ”
There was a soft sound in the forest, and four or five young men in Chinese costumes of varying heights touched them out, stood in a row, and said with a smile: "A few sisters have offended!" ”
Ming Fei vaguely recognized one of them as Gong Yuanzhi, one was Zhou Qing's brother Zhou Yan, one was Yuan Sipu, and two were unrecognizable, both of them were fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenagers, dressed very gorgeously, and they thought they were relatives of the Gong family. It was Zhou Yan who spoke just now.
One of the two people who didn't recognize it laughed: "You can't blame us, we didn't want to scare you guys in the first place, who told you to sneeze and scare us?" Who hit it just now ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
