Chapter 291: Witness

Bai Zhanpeng glanced at him disapprovingly, and was about to speak, but Wangcai, the little servant of the Chu family, came running from a distance and shouted, "Childe, son, Mr. Zhao from Yunjia Village is here to visit." ”

"Oh, the second brother is here?" Without waiting for Chu Gehuan to speak, Bai Zhanpeng had already sat up straight, looking left and right as if he was looking for a place to hide.

It's a pity that Wangcai's next sentence directly blocked his way, "Bai Gongzi, Mr. Zhao said that it would be best if you were here, and he happened to have something to ask you to testify." ”

"Witnessing? What does this mean? Bai Zhanpeng swept to Chu Gehuan suspiciously, could it be that there are really some unspeakable things between friends and brothers-in-law, or to be precise, between him and the woman?

The evil smile on the corner of Chu Gehuan's mouth was even stronger, and he waved his hand to signal Wangcai to go out to invite someone, then got up to tidy up his clothes, and greeted him outside the pavilion, Bai Zhanpeng raised his eyebrows, and also walked out.

Soon, Zhao Fengnian walked in with Wangcai with the style, and when he saw the two of them like this, he stepped forward to salute, "The two of you have such a Yaxing scenery and wine tasting, but you are disturbing below." ”

Bai Zhanpeng could hear a hint of unfamiliarity in his tone, and immediately smiled and came to return the salute, and said, "Second brother, you revolve around your sister-in-law all day long, and your brother is boring, so you came to the city to find Brother Chu Xian to gossip a few words, and just now I was looking forward to the second brother coming to drink together, where is the bother." ”

Chu Gehuan also smiled and said, "What Brother Bai said is that it is the honor of our Chu family for the daughter to come to the cold house. ”

Zhao Fengnian raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't hear the other meaning in his words, and said politely, "Why should Gongzi Chu be humble, Zhao is just a small workshop owner now, but he has to rely on Gongzi to help him." ”

"Well said, well said."

The two of them smiled naturally and kindly, but between their lips and teeth was the light of swords and swords, and Bai Zhanpeng became more and more surprised when he heard it, and hurriedly invited them in.

The three of them entered the pavilion and sat down, the maid brought a new set of cups and plates, Chu Gehuan filled the wine glass for Zhao Fengnian with his own hands, and waved his hand to signal the two most beautiful women to come forward to serve, but Zhao Fengnian shook his head, "No need, Zhao only has a few words to say, and Prince Chu doesn't have to be so polite." ”

"Oh?" Chu Gehuan took a woman in his hand and stroked it wantonly in his arms, causing the woman to giggle, and then raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Zhao dislikes that these women are vulgar fans and can't get into the eyes?" ”

Although those women are prostitutes, but because of their beauty, they are often held in the hands of men on weekdays, at this time, seeing Zhao Fengnian's handsome and elegant appearance, sitting upright, and not looking at their half-exposed breasts, they have a little desire to win, and when they hear Chu Gehuan say this, one of the fair-skinned and slightly plump women came to him, made a look of grievance, and said in a coquettish voice, "Childe, do you dislike the slave family, the slave family is so sad." ”

She said this and snuggled into Zhao Fengnian's arms, how did she know that since Zhao Fengnian was last stained with rouge lips by the two red and green women of the Tian family, which made Rui Xue angry, he never dared to approach within three feet of the woman, and when he saw her approaching, it was almost instinctive, and he pushed her to the side with a slap, and even quickly rubbed his palm on the blanket under him, for fear of being contaminated with any fragrance.

Bai Zhanpeng and Chu Gehuan, together with the women in the pavilion, were stunned, as if they had seen some monster, Zhao Fengnian was a little embarrassed by them, but he only frowned, lowered his head and sipped half a glass of wine, and said lightly, "There is a pearl and jade in the family, even if the fairy descends to earth, in my eyes, it is also a vulgar fan." ”

The women looked at each other, with different tastes in their hearts, and they couldn't tell whether they wanted to be angry that they were vulgar fans in the eyes of this person, or envy the woman who was regarded as a jewel by such a man.

Chu Gehuan sneered, "The pearl jade in Brother Zhao's eyes is afraid that it is also a vulgar fan in the eyes of others." ”

Zhao Fengnian replied quietly, "I see a pearl in my eyes, and naturally treat her like a pearl, but it doesn't seem like someone thinks of her as a pearl in her heart, but she wants to be called a vulgar powder in her mouth." ”

The two of them are like this, you say a word to me, all the women are inexplicable, Bai Zhanpeng can't hear some different tastes, seeing a righteous brother, a friend, looking at each other, the blazing flames that burst out are about to burn the entire pavilion, and quickly opened his mouth to divert the conversation, "The second brother just wanted to spread the word about Wangcai, didn't he say that he wanted his brother to be a witness, and the second brother didn't say what it was?" ”

Zhao Fengnian lowered his eyes, raised his hand and took two empty wine glasses, poured them full of wine one by one, and then changed his face to a normal color, and said, "Gongzi Chu, I was seriously ill in bed that day, and Neizi had pawned a copy of "Travels to the Twelve Kingdoms" to the pawnshop under the name of your Chu family, but she didn't know that it was my beloved thing. ”

Chu Gehuan's face sank instantly, "Brother Zhao, I'm afraid I have already got that jade pendant, right?" ”

Zhao Fengnian nodded, "That jade pendant is related to Neizi's life experience, and I have to thank Gongzi Chu for happening to be left behind that day, otherwise the old slave in Neizi's family would not have been found smoothly." ”

"Then Brother Zhao wants to thank me for my adult beauty?"

"Exactly, and it's not just that," Zhao Fengnian picked up a wine glass, "This first glass of wine is that Prince Xie Chu received the jade pendant of Neizi that day and helped Neizi open a dock restaurant." After he finished speaking, he raised his head and drank it, and then took a second cup, "This second is that Gongzi Xie guided Neizi to go to Tianfu for medical treatment that day, and saved my life." ”

"This third cup is that Gongzi Xie received the deed paper and the lone book from Neizi's restaurant, and helped Neizi exchange silver to buy the elixir."

Zhao Fengnian drank three cups in a row, and at the end he boldly pulled his sleeve to wipe the residual wine at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Zhao Mou, as a man, stands up to the sky and the earth, and has a clear distinction between kindness and righteousness.

In addition, when Zhao was seriously ill that day, Neiko suffered and suffered, and she couldn't share it, and her life was okay today, how could she be a woman to bear the difficult things again, so the two remaining two things that Neiko should have given off her son that day, Zhao also took care of them, a total of five, and the son should not forget. It just so happened that Zhan Peng was here to witness for the two of us. ”

Bai Zhanpeng was so shocked that he opened his mouth, the people of the rivers and lakes value faith and righteousness the most, and the words he said were like nails nailed to his heart, sometimes he often had to run for a long time for a promise, and even took his life, his righteous brother, today he actually made five promises, wouldn't he have to work hard for the Chu family for the rest of his life, he wanted to open his mouth to persuade him, but he also knew very well that the righteous brother had a stubborn temper, and Chu Gehuan was also his friend, how to persuade him, it was difficult to help over there...

Chu Gehuan half-lowered his eyes, staring at the three empty wine glasses on the table, his heart was full of bitterness for a while, and sourness for a while, is this the man chosen by the smart woman, who is responsible, affectionate, and treats her like a jewel, although he is unwilling to admit it, but he is indeed much inferior to this person, if he can be like this at the beginning, abandon everything and bear all the difficulties, then the woman who has sworn by the mountains and seas, will not be his sister-in-law?

Thinking like this, his eyes gradually moistened, raised his head and laughed three times, held back the tears that represented weakness, got up and went back to the room, and when he came back, there was already an extra wooden box in his hand, which was gently placed in front of Zhao Fengnian, and said with a smile, "When I received this lonely book that day, I saw the boss lady... No, sister-in-law... My sister-in-law's expression was extremely reluctant, and I guessed that this book would be redeemed one day, so I kept it in the study and never touched it. Today, Brother Zhao specially came to ask for it, and I counted it as a congratulatory gift to celebrate the birth of my nephew and niece, and gave it to Brother Zhao in advance. ”

He showed favor like this, which was really a bit unexpected by Zhao Fengnian, but the people paved the steps first, and he naturally knew the truth of going down, so he hugged his fists and thanked him, "Then thank you for the generous gift of the virtuous brother, and on the day of the full moon of the dog and the little girl, the virtuous brother must come to the door to have a good drink." ”

Chu Gehuan laughed and said, "That's natural, sister-in-law's cooking skills, but there is no match in the world, and my brother must eat to his heart's content." ”

The two of them changed their smiling faces like this, looking like they were close brothers, which provoked Bai Zhanpeng to not react for a while, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't interject, so he had to pour wine for himself, and while drinking slowly, he regarded it as watching a play.

Zhao Fengnian chatted with Chu Gehuan for a few more words, thinking that there were still things to do, so he said, "Brother Xian, when you have time, you will go to Yunjia Village with Zhanpeng to live for a few days. Brother Wei still has something to deal with today, so I won't bother much. ”

Chu Gehuan naturally didn't force him to stay, and said with a smile, "My brother is a busy man, so I won't stay long, and I will come back another day, and I must not get drunk and not return." ”

"Okay, Brother Xian stays." The two walked hand in hand to the corner gate of the garden, bowed to each other, and were about to part.

Chu Gehuan suddenly called out again, "Brother Zhao, slow down." ”

Zhao Fengnian turned his head back, his face was slightly puzzled, and asked, "Brother Xian, is there anything else?" ”

Chu Gehuan dismissed the little maid and maid beside him, was silent for a moment, suddenly sighed, and then said with a straight face, "Brother Zhao, the collection of jade pendants, solitary books and deed paper that day is not so much to help my sister-in-law, but rather that my brother is too playful, I want to see how she struggles to survive as a woman, my sister-in-law's intelligence and strength are rare in the world, which really makes my brother admire, so the three things that Brother Zhao said can be avoided, and it should be regarded as a brother to a sister-in-law... Respect. In addition, my sister-in-law once high-fived me and swore that the three things were even more like a joke, so I really don't need to take it to heart. ”

He wanted to erase the five things just now, Zhao Fengnian raised his eyebrows, he was even more puzzled, and after thinking about it, he said, "The previous three things are for the love of the brother and the virtuous brother, but although the inner son is a woman, he is the most faithful, and the remaining two things are always kept in mind, and as a brother and a husband, he must bear it for her no matter what." Brother don't have to say more, for the brother still has something to do, another day to have a drink with the virtuous brother. ”

After he finished speaking, he clenched his fists again, and then turned to leave, Chu Gehuan frowned slightly, the corners of his mouth changed to a wry smile, slowly shook his head, and returned to the pavilion.

Bai Zhanpeng had a stomach problem, and before he could open his mouth, he was sentenced, "Drinking, drinking, it's all over." ”
