Chapter 188: The Banquet (2)
After the banquet began, Liu Xiaoxiao, the "embroidered girl" who quietly came out of the wing room and was allowed to enter the banquet as a background, was stunned when she saw Xu Xiucai.
It turned out that in the past month, only a dozen zhang away from Liu's house, there was a Xiucai who was going to take the exam, and she didn't even know it.
A showman!
Isn't that what that's for her?
But she nested in Liu's house, thinking about how to hold Liu Dakang, who had not shown up for many days, in her hands, and she didn't even cross the door!
What kind of Liu Dakang is standing next to this Xiucai, that is the difference between a heaven and an underground!
But this show is leaving tomorrow, what else can she do?
Take the opportunity of this feast to make an impression on him?
She subconsciously looked at Jiang Han on the side.
At this time, Jiang Han was looking forward to seeing a good show at the banquet, and while sending his improved lion head and fish-flavored shredded meat into his mouth, he rolled his eyes and swept around the faces of the key three.
Yun Niang looked at the faintly appearing look on her face, which was not a big deal, and suddenly regretted why she invited the Liu family to come.
But the Jiang family can't avoid holding a banquet for the Liu family, and if it is simply held in her name, it will be even more unavoidable.
Not to mention that the people who rescued them back were Liu Dakang and Jiang Han, let's just say that in the later investigation of the man in black and Mama Yu, the matter of getting a new household registration, and even the matter of Xiao An's study, Liu Dakang did his best to her sister and brother.
She understands that Liu Dakang has done so much because he has some other thoughts about her, and she can't respond to his intentions, but she can't be ungrateful and don't even invite people to a banquet, right?
This can't be said anyway, and she can't do it if she accepts his excessive intentions against her heart because of these kindnesses.
She will treat the Liu family as her own relatives in her heart, and she has the same respect and love for the Liu family as she does for the Jiang family, and this is the only thing she can do at present.
No matter what the sisters thought in their hearts, after the three families sat down, although the atmosphere at the beginning was a little strange because of the scene when the Liu family entered the door.
However, Daddy Jiang is also a person who has seen some big scenes, and after a speech and wine, he and Wang Shanglang opened the banquet situation with a smile.
The little tiger on the side who had been hungry for a long time, the monkey jumped anxiously and instructed her mother to ask for this and that, although a little rude, but the occasional fairy tale also caused everyone's laughter.
In addition, a table of delicacies is really delicious, and everyone's various praises for Yun Niang's craftsmanship jump out without money, and occasionally mixed with Jiang Han's words of invitation, Aunt Liu and Jiang's father's reprimands, even if there are two brothers and sisters in the Liu family who are specifically responsible for air conditioning, the atmosphere of this so-called send-off banquet can't help but gradually become warmer.
Xu Xiucai is not a real nerd either, he will talk to Daddy Jiang for a while, and then drop the bookbag with Xiao An, and he will soon get up freely.
And Yun Niang thought that when the Liu family entered the door, Liu Xiaomei's reaction also subconsciously avoided too much interaction with the Wang family, just kept smiling and accompanying her, and got up from time to time to pour wine for everyone to persuade everyone to eat, even if she occasionally glanced at Xu Xiucai, she just turned her eyes away casually for a moment.
But it was this moment that Liu Dakang, who had been paying attention to her, discovered it.
As one of the only two people who lowered the liveliness of the banquet, Liu Dakang sat there uncomfortable in his heart, wanting to hide and take the opportunity to vent, so that the whole person seemed to have changed, sitting in a daze for a while, and pouring wine for a while, for which Daddy Jiang had stopped him several times intentionally or unintentionally.
inadvertently caught Xu Xie and the two of them flirting, he finally couldn't help it, and immediately stood up, grabbed the wine glass, picked up the wine jar, and staggered to Xu Xiucai's side.
"Mr. Xiucai, we don't know each other, it's rare to get together today, I, Liu Dakang, will give you three cups first, which is the apology for that day. Come to the full! ”
Xu Xiucai saw that although he was smiling, he still had a fierce look on his face, and he suddenly felt unhappy and couldn't help but feel worried, and hurriedly held down the cup, squeezed out a smile and said: "Brother Tai, don't be polite, that day was a pure misunderstanding, how can there be any apology?" You and I have a drink together, when it is to celebrate this fateful gathering, you see how it is. ”
"No, no, these three glasses of wine must be drunk, if Brother Xu doesn't drink it, he looks down on me as a rough man!" As he spoke, he pulled his lips and smiled, his eyes deliberately flashed sharply, "Of course, Brother Xu, you are Xiucai Gong, and I, Liu Dakang, am just a small official in Qinghe County, and it is normal for you to look down on me, but I remember that Xiucai Gong is from Maqiao Town, right?" This Maqiao Town, I have been to handle the case a few times, and I also know some people, you and my brother have a fate, and the younger brother will go to Maqiao Town next time, and people will definitely take care of your Xu family......"
The implication of this is that what if you are a showman? Although he, Liu Dakang, is a servant, if he wants to find a showman, there is a way.
Xu Xiucai's heart flashed with anger, this is to force him to drink these three glasses of wine!
The scene was silent.
Liu Dakang carried the wine jar and did not retreat, and Xu Xiucai held the cup and did not let go.
Jiang Han was happy, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he stuffed the freshly wrapped fish-flavored shredded meat in his hand into his mouth, and said in his heart: "It's finally here!" However, I was so disappointed, this Liu Dakang is really a rough person, and he can only use the trick of pouring wine. Xu Xiucai is leaving anyway, so it's clear that he looks down on you and doesn't drink this wine? ”
Yun Niang sighed in her heart when she saw this, quickly got up and walked to Liu Dakang's side, smiled gently, and persuaded softly: "Brother Dakang, today's banquet was prepared by my little sister, you are so drunk and don't eat, but my cooking skills are too poor to eat, little sister?" Saying that, she went to pick up the wine jar in Liu Dakang's hand, "You just give me a face, eat more food and drink less wine, the wine hurts your body, you and Mr. Xu will each have a drink, and I will pour you wine, what do you think?" ”
Liu Dakang stared at her smile, but felt bitter in his heart: "Is she afraid that I will bully this nerd surnamed Xu?" Have you ever seen her smile at me like this on weekdays? 'Little sister'? In order to help this little white face, she is now going to be commensurate with me as a brother and sister! He forcibly took his eyes off Yun Niang's face, twisted his arm and broke away Yun Niang's hand on the wine jar, looked at Xu Xiucai and sneered: "I don't even dare to drink three glasses of wine, but I still want a woman to block you, is this still a man?" I'm afraid it's not as good as a girl, haha! Don't drink this wine! ”
"What did Brother Liu say? I'm afraid I've drunk too much, right? Xu Xiucai also lowered his face.
Really, he has never seen such a brutal person in more than twenty years of life!
"You don't understand? Aren't you a great talent? How come you can't even understand people's words? Liu Dakang, who was standing, looked at Xu Xiucai condescendingly.
"You! Don't get an inch! Xu Xiucai pressed the wine glass in his hand to the table and looked back at him with a sullen look in his eyes.
"What am I? Although I am a rough person, I don't even dare to drink wine like you like a soft egg! ”
Xiao An, who was beside Xu Xiucai, heard this, and then stood up and said, "Brother Liu, my husband doesn't drink well, if you have to drink three glasses with him, why don't I, as a student, drink two glasses on his behalf?" ”
And Liu Xiaomei, who was on the other side, heard Xiao An's words, and interjected with a sneer: "Heh, this gentleman is really funny, he still wants his ten-year-old student to drink it on his behalf!" ”
The situation became more stiff in the blink of an eye, and Yun Niang, who was standing next to Liu Dakang, didn't know what to do.
She was also anxious and angry, her eyes were red, and her voice trembled a little: "Brother Da Kang! Please take care of my little sister and my face today. Why don't you have a glass first? ”
Seeing her reddish eyes, Liu Dakang's dark face turned white all of a sudden, and he was suddenly a little at a loss.
