Chapter 54 [Dragon Boat Festival]
At this time, it was actually past noon, but the banquet had not been held for a long time in order to wait for Xu Ziqian's death, and now that the waiting guests came, it was naturally a banquet. Because of Master Zhou's lawsuit, the Zhou Mansion had no intention of having a banquet, and the people were only Ye Junyi and his wife, Li Chengshao, Master Zhou, and Master Tuesday's family. On Tuesday, there were only three girls and one child in the old man's house, and there were more than twenty or thirty children, daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, concubines, and grandchildren of the old man Zhou, and Ye Junyi basically didn't know them. Fortunately, Master Zhou was very afraid of the inside, and only the young master of Zhou, Zhou Meiren and Yingying, the eldest son of Zhou, and the other concubines and children had no status in the Zhou Mansion, so Lord Zhou drove these people to the outer hall for dinner. But they had another feast in the inner chamber.
The two masters led Xu Ziqian to the host and guest position, Xu Ziqian kept supporting Ye Junyi with his hand, and asked her to sit down first, and he wanted to sit, but Li Chengshao, who was walking at the end, like a monkey mountain, suddenly rushed out from behind him, and sat down next to Ye Junyi, everyone was stunned when they saw this, Xu Ziqian didn't seem to see it, and took a step back, and when he proudly lifted his clothes, he took a half-up and wanted to clamp the meat, so he kicked on the pouted buttocks, and Li Dagongzi fell to the ground and rolled around. Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw this, and before anyone could come to their senses, he had already gotten up, hula, and sat down on the throne.
"Chun'er, father-in-law, mother-in-law," Li Chengshao sat down and crossed his legs, then took the chopsticks and ate the meat bar, with oil in his mouth, but he hadn't forgotten the Yingchun family, "Why are you standing stupidly?" Sit down and eat! Wow, wow, what kind of meat is this? It's delicious, it's delicious. ”
On Tuesday, the old man smiled and helped Mrs. Zhou to sit on the side; When Master Zhou saw it, he was stunned: he was the head of the Zhou family, it was impossible to sit down, Li Chengshao saw him standing beside him and was an eyesore, his mouth was full of food and "woo", and he dragged Master Zhou to the stool and sat down next to him; The second lady looked disgusted, turned her face to the side, and sat down next to the stool under her head; Yingchun stared at Li Chengshao hatefully, and his eyes were about to fall out, but this person didn't seem to have seen it, eating by himself, Yingchun couldn't, so he had no choice but to sit down next to his mother. It's nothing to sit like this, but the rest of the eldest lady and the eldest son of Zhou are stumped, standing at the table and looking at each other, it is impossible for this eldest son to sit with his mother-in-law, right?
"Madame, come, eat some of this, and eat some of this." Xu Ziqian hadn't even seen the people at the table sit down yet, he directly ignored Ye Junyi's hinting gaze, and kept putting the dishes into her bowl, Ye Junyi was also really hungry, she was gaining weight, she could eat a lot this time, and she didn't care about the etiquette or anything, eat!
Li Chengshao, who was gobbling it up, saw Xu Ziqian gently serving vegetables to his wife, and he was stunned, this is all to see his wife serving the dishes, but the couple is ........ And the two of them seem to be very natural, one seems to be slow and polite, but in fact the action is extremely fast, the other looks at the action elegantly, in fact, the person who comes does not refuse, extremely edible, so compatible, not a day or two of work can be achieved, I am afraid it is the result of long-term side by side.
"Chun'er, come and eat this, this is a hump, I still ate it when the emperor and grandfather rewarded me in the palace." Li Chengshao is a shrewd person, seeing that Xu Ziqian was about to pick up a dish, he quickly stood up, picked up the plate with him, and poured it into the bowl for Yingchun. Yingchun just sat down and didn't dare to lift the chopstick, when suddenly the meat fell from the sky and filled the bowl, and he didn't feel a little uneasy, so he quickly sandwiched some for his mother........
"Ouch, shark fin! Don't move! ”
Master Zhou saw that they were eating happily, and was about to stretch out the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, Li Chengshao took the food in his mouth, his mouth was full of oil, and he drank him loudly, and then picked up the plate, and the old father-in-law, mother-in-law, and future daughter-in-law each sandwiched a basket, and all the chopped ones were poured into their own bowls.
On Tuesday, when the old man saw that his future son-in-law was so considerate of his daughter, he also served vegetables for himself, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and also gave Mrs. Zhou a dish: "Come, mother taste this, and this, Shao'er, Hou Ye, you are polite, just like your own family, eat, eat." ”
These two grandsons and grandsons-in-law can't afford to offend, and Mrs. Zhou was stunned and pretended to be stupid when she saw this situation, and buried her head in eating her son's dishes. Mrs. Zhou's mother and son saw this, and after a while, this table of dishes was probably going to be swept away, and when Xu Ziqian had missed the meal time, this would be hungry, in order to welcome distinguished guests, this table full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, how much silver was spent on this meal, the two of them knew best, the expenses of the whole Zhou Mansion for three months! It hurts to watch them eat! So both of them couldn't bear it anymore, and almost at the same time, on a bench, each sat in a corner, dropped his buttocks, and ate with a spoon.
This lunch was driven by Li Chengshao and Xu Ziqian, and everyone ended it perfectly at a very fast speed, and the dishes on the table were almost swept away.
"Uh......."
Li Chengshao, who had finished eating, spread his clothes on a Taishi chair at the table, lying crookedly, holding a cup in his hand, burping contentedly, he was going to drink, but he was not allowed to welcome the spring, and now that he had finished eating, he took an empty cup and enjoyed it in his hand. Just at the table, Master Zhou wanted to persuade everyone to use some wine, and by the way, he talked and talked, but the wine glass was held for a long time, and no one opened him, and the table was eating in full swing, so he had to put down the wine glass and join the ranks of grabbing food.
"Master Hou, are you using it well?" Seeing that Xu Ziqian had put down the chopstick, Master Zhou quickly stood up and asked.
"Hmm." Xu Ziqian took the cup handed by the maid, rinsed his mouth with a grunt, spit out the water, and replied slowly.
"It's rare for Yi'er to come back, so let her accompany the old man, and let's go to the house over there to sit?" Master Zhou smiled and bent down to make an invitation.
"Yes, yes, yes," Tuesday Lao Ye Guo is a real person, not to say anything good or bad, the more he sees his future son-in-law and nephew-in-law, the more satisfied he feels, after eating a meal, after listening to his brother's words, he also pulled Xu Ziqian with great interest, "Madam, you two and Yi'er go to talk and talk, Ziqian, let's go, let's go and sit over there together." ”
When Master Zhou heard him call Xu Ziqian like this, he was stunned, and when he came back to his senses, the two of them had already walked out of this hall and hurriedly chased after them.
He just walked to Li Chengshao's side, but he was grabbed by the hem of his shirt, so he couldn't walk, so Li Chengshao grabbed him and said: "Xin Ningbo, I said, your Zhou family is also the emperor's family without an earl, why is it so unruly?" After eating, it is so undisciplined, Mrs. Zhou is so old, she is sitting on the side, you are at home in this Zhou Mansion, how can the word filial piety be written, you don't know? If this is heard in the ears of God, how can this come about? Even I, an irrelevant person, came to see my father-in-law, and I am afraid that I will have a fishy smell. You say, don't you? You, you, what can I do? ”
Li Chengshao said it very seriously, and even shook his head bitterly. Master Zhou listened, the sweat fell down, the lawsuit over there is still over, and he has to spread this unfilial reputation, how can it be born? Master, it's obviously you......
"Yes, yes," Master Zhou nodded, "Oh, no, in the past, the old mother was the first, today is, yes, it's your ......."
"What happened to me" Li Chengshao jumped up suddenly, grabbed his shirt, and said, "You have lost your filial piety, is it possible that you can still blame my head?" ”
"No, no......." Master Zhou was so frightened that his hands swung straight up, and his head was about to shrink into his stomach.
"Okay, let's put this filial piety aside for the time being," Li Chengshao let go of his shirt, patted the round fat belly, and said slowly, "Just, ah, these many people have seen it, and the mother-in-law is actually sitting with the eldest son, you tell the master, what kind of system is this?" Cheng-he-body-system! ”
Li Chengshao was already a head taller than the fat and short Master Zhou, he was condescending when he said this, Master Zhou didn't dare not listen to him, he raised his head, and a fat face was facing Li Chengshao's big mouth. He didn't dare to wipe it, just a crying face, and replied mechanically: "Yes, yes, Ye is right, not decent, not ......"
"Oh, then you think you're right?" Li Chengshao sat down again, crossed Erlang's legs and said, "Then what do you say happened today?" Yes? ”
Mrs. Zhou and Mr. Zhou were listening, and they just wanted to slap themselves, originally thinking that this family was there, and when they were eating, they saw them smuggling, and they didn't say a word of etiquette, so they made this big mistake. If you knew this, you wouldn't be greedy for it.......
As for Mrs. Zhou, she was sleeping in a daze on a princess chair at this time, can she fall asleep with such a loud noise? Mrs. Tuesday took Ye Junyi and Yingchun to stand behind Mrs. Zhou, and the three of them seemed to be very worried that the old lady would fall off the chair, and surrounded her to protect her, as if they didn't see what was happening in the house at all.
"This, this," Master Zhou wiped the sweat on his head with his sleeves, and after two strokes, he suddenly pulled Li Chengshao's placket and said with a crying voice, "Master, Master Li, you have to save the little one, you give the little one an idea, what should happen to this, this thing?" After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Wait until I beat this rebel to death!" And, come, I'm going to divorce this woman! ”
When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she was so frightened that she jumped on the stool next to the eighth table, and the young master on Tuesday trembled even more.
"Big brother must not be like this, hey!" Mrs. Tuesday saw it, and she couldn't bear it, so how angry was the family in the second room on weekdays? I didn't want to meddle in these things, but now I see them looking like lost dogs, but I take care of the suitability of that compatriot. He sighed and said, "Cheng Shao, don't embarrass your uncle." ”
