When Bai Zhanpeng heard this, he looked at the bitter expression on Chu Gehuan's face like swallowing a fly, but he didn't believe that he knelt down for a tofu banquet, no matter how he thought it, the Zhao family and his wife were refuting it, but it was rare to see Chu Gehuan, who had always had a neat mouth, deflated, and he didn't mean to help solve the siege.

The Zhao family and the husband and wife moved back to Bancheng together, which was a small sigh, and Rui Xue smiled and said, "It is almost noon, Mr. accompanies the two guests to sit down, and the slave family goes to prepare the meal." ”

After speaking, she went to the second door to call Yun Xiaoliu, asked him to send a few pieces of tofu in, chopped minced meat, and when she went to get the pottery bowl, she occasionally saw a small cloth bag in the corner of the cupboard, and her eyes were bright, this was still a kind of weed that she accidentally found last autumn, when it was mixed in leeks, scrambled eggs to eat, extremely bitter, but there was no taste when eaten alone. At this time, I was worried that there was no way to toss Chu Gehuan, so I encountered such a good thing, it was really a coincidence to send a pillow when I was sleepy.

She found an old clay pot, threw a few grass stalks down, flushed half of the hot water, waited a little cooler, and sent it to the yard, and after pouring a cup for Chu Gehuan diligently, she pretended to miss the pot and dropped the pot.

Zhao Fengnian was afraid of burning her, so he hurriedly pulled her over to take a closer look, and saw that the skirt and shoes were not wet, so he relieved himself and said, "Be careful." ”

Rui Xue smiled, "I thought about making some new tea for guests, but I didn't know that it would be rude to be so clumsy." With that, he picked up the clay pot that had fallen on the dirt and had not broken and went down.

Cui Niang ate the meal, left Yingzi and Pomegranate to pick up the dishes and chopsticks, and rushed over to help Ruixue, seeing that her subordinates were frying and frying, the smile on her face never stopped, so she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Sister, why are you so happy, what kind of big business did those two sons send to our workshop?" ”

Ruixue shook her head, "They're good friends of my husband, but they have nothing to do with business." ”

Cui Niang didn't wait for her to say the reason for her joy, guessing that she didn't want to say it, so she didn't ask anymore, but talked about whose daughter in the village was going to get married, and whose old man was going to have a big birthday, Rui Xue smiled, remembered them one by one, and told Cui Niang not to forget to remind her to send congratulatory gifts when the time came.

Soon the meal was put on the table, Zhao Fengnian invited Bai Zhanpeng and Chu Gehuan to the table, Rui Xue held a jar of good wine from the old Wu family's store and sent it, and the three of them talked about the wine.

Rui Xue was waiting for Chu Gehuan to make a fool of herself, but she saw that he was eating and drinking very happily, but it was Bai Zhanpeng, her brows were furrowed, she tasted every dish, and put down her chopsticks.

However, this matter cannot be said explicitly, and there is no solution, so we can only look at it head-on.

Sure enough, Bai Zhanpeng saw that Zhao and Chu were eating happily, as if they couldn't detect the bitter taste at all, so he was a little suspicious and asked, "Brother Zhao, Gehuan, don't you think this dish tastes a little bitter?" ”

"Bitter?" Zhao Fengnian raised his eyebrows, shook his head and said, "There is no bitter taste." ”

Chu Gehuan swallowed a tofu box and smiled meaningfully, "Brother Bai, this tofu feast is quite delicious." If you don't like someone, pick on them from somewhere else, but don't spoil the food? ”

Bai Zhanpeng was choked by these words, didn't he just say that Ruixue was rude behind Zhao Fengnian's back, and at this time, he was so little that he really intended to provoke trouble, but if he said that this dish was delicious against his will, he didn't want to, frowned, tasted it again, and then said angrily, "This dish is obviously bitter and astringent, how can I be picky?" ”

Rui Xue naturally knew that he had suffered from the pond fish, so he said to relieve the siege, "It may be that Bai Gongzi has come all the way, too hard, the liver is vigorous, and he feels bitter in his mouth, so he has a good rest tonight, and it may be good to get up early tomorrow." ”

She was weak-hearted, so she didn't dare to raise her eyes to look at Bai Zhanpeng, this appearance fell in Bai Zhanpeng's eyes, and she felt that she must be strange, and the more she noticed, it must be the previous words, which she heard, and retaliated at this time. How can such a narrow-minded woman who is ready to repay her worthy of a friend, the anger on his face is even heavier.

However, in Zhao Fengnian's eyes, Rui Xue was like this, in order to take care of his face, he was more and more dissatisfied with his friend, so he said, "Why don't you see Brother Yu, you go and call him back for dinner, you don't have to take care of it here." ”

Rui Xue hurriedly responded, turned around and went out of the second door, Wu Yu was leading his baby Ben Lei back from the river, his shoes and trouser legs were half wet, Rui Xue saw it, and raised his hand to be two popping chestnuts, "You kid, the river is still cold, why are you not careful, what if you get cold?" ”

Wu Yu grinned and tied the horse's reins, pushed the mistake on the pony, and said with a smile, "It's all because Ben Lei pulled me into the river." ”

Ben Lei shook his head aggrievedly, sneezed, and was slapped by his master and lowered his head.

Rui Xue was amused and pulled her younger brother to the backyard, "There are guests at home, and they are two friends of Mr., and we will see you in a while." ”

Wu Yu replied sullenly, went to the stone table, and obediently stepped forward to salute, and then followed his sister back to the house to change clothes and shoes, and brought food to the hall to eat.

While he was stirring up his meal, he looked at the three people who were drinking and chatting in the courtyard, and asked, "Sister, isn't that red-clothed boy the Chu prince in the city?" ”

"Well, yesterday's poetry meeting, you saw him, last time Mr. was sick, and he was also the doctor he found for directions, it stands to reason that this is a good person, but his temperament seems to be a little strange, and when you meet him in the future, you should be more careful."

Wu Yu likes his sister nagging him like this, and he always feels very warm in his heart, so he asked the man in white again, "Who is that person?" Why do you seem to know that Chu Gongzi too? ”

Rui Xue swallowed the food in her mouth, thought about it, the east wing room has not been sorted out yet, if Bai Zhanpeng stays at night, he will have to arrange for him to live in the north and south houses with Wu Yu, or he still has to give a few words, so he said, "That's a former friend of Mr., and he also knew Gongzi Chu, he... Well, it doesn't seem that I like Mr. too much to marry my sister, so it's inevitable that my words are a little rude, if you listen, don't argue with him, just save some face for Mr., you know? ”

"What do you mean by not liking my husband to marry my sister?" Wu Yu heard that his sister seemed to have been wronged, and immediately raised his eyebrows, "What qualifications does he have to point fingers, is he a descendant of the Zhao family?" ”

Wu Yu's voice was getting higher and higher, Rui Xue glared at him, signaled him to whisper, and said in silence for a long time, "Mr.'s family background is rich, and there used to be a woman who was married, and then he suddenly suffered, because of a coincidence, he lived here, and in order to live for joy, he married me, in the eyes of his friends, I was born as a maid, so I am naturally not worthy of him." ”

"If Mr. wasn't taken care of by his sister..."Wu Yu was about to refute again, Rui Xue waved her hand irritably and interrupted, "That's it, don't say it, Mr. has his own judgment on this matter, and it has nothing to do with us." You just have to remember not to quarrel with Bai Gongzi. ”

Wu Yu was so angry that he slammed the food into his mouth, and he didn't say a word, Rui Xue had no choice but to take a piece of meat for him, and said with a smile, "Sister knows that you feel sorry for me, but my sister has her own ideas about this matter, so don't worry." I've sorted out all the books these days, and the private school is about to start. ”

Wu Yu nodded, endured and endured, and still said, "Sister, if Mr. breaks your heart one day, don't be sad, and me." ”

Rui Xue's heart was sour, rubbed the top of his hair, and said with a smile, "Okay, you are my brother, you don't feel sorry for your sister, who feels sorry?" The husband can be reconciled and divorced, and he can marry another woman, and I will be separated if I am not happy, but my younger brother can't run away, even if you marry a hundred, but it is still my younger brother. ”

Wu Yu's hands paused, a different color flashed in his eyes, he was silent for a long time, and suddenly seemed to have made up his mind, and said, "Okay, sister, I will always be your brother, you can't leave me." ”

"Don't throw it, don't throw it, my sister still expects you to support me, so that my sister's maid background will be looked down upon." Although he didn't say it, Bai Zhanpeng's rough woman just now still made Rui Xue feel uneasy, turned her head to see that the three people in the courtyard had already eaten, got up and went out and didn't know where to go, so she lowered her head and sighed softly.

When the sun set in the West Mountain, Zhao Fengnian and the three of them turned back, Ruixue prepared four more side dishes, and ate them as usual Bai Zhanpeng frowned, at the end, it was late, neither of them returned to the city, and stayed in the south house of the West Chamber.

Originally, Chu Gehuan wanted to talk to Wu Yu for a few words, but found that this kid who didn't lose to him at all didn't want to deal with him at all, so he had to shrug his shoulders and go back to the room.

Zhao Fengnian washed up, and when he returned to the room, Ruixue had already loosened her hair and lay down in the quilt.

Zhao Fengnian was caught between his friend and his wife in the afternoon, his wife was wronged, and he couldn't denounce his friend for being his friend, so he still felt guilty, got into the quilt, took Ruixue in his arms, and was silent for a long time before saying, "I've made two meals, are you tired?" ”

Rui Xue nodded lightly, listened carefully to his heartbeat, but still didn't want to go around, and said directly, "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

Zhao Fengnian took a breath and smoothed her hair, "I don't have anything to say, Zhanpeng has been my friend for many years, we have studied together and crossed the rivers and lakes together, the friendship is deep, he has an upright temperament, he doesn't know how to speak tactfully, you don't want to be like him, he is a guest after all..."

Rui Xue sneered, left his embrace, and said lightly, "What, are you really afraid that I am narrow-minded and put poison in his dishes?" ”

Zhao Fengnian couldn't wait to slap himself twice, obviously it was a consolation, how to say it was not right, he hurriedly stepped forward and took Rui Xue into his arms, "No, I mean he will leave in a few days, even if you say something wrong, don't be angry." ”

"You don't go with him, go to be your daughter's son, marry your rich lady, mess with me, a village woman, and do some small business every day, I really wronged your Zhao family."

If you can't smell the strong sour smell in these words, Zhao Fengnian will be a fool, "How can there be a better woman in the world than you?" I am really fortunate to be able to marry you for three lifetimes, so that I can have food and shelter, busy business, and a peaceful and happy life, and I can ask for nothing more. Besides, you know, Xiangyun... Well, it's the woman I was married to before, and she has already renewed her marriage, so don't want to pull me and her together in the future. ”
