Chapter 15: The Feast
There was no sound outside the door, and Xia Zhi slid down the faΓ§ade and sat on the ground, hugging his knees and curling up in a ball. Chen Huan didn't show up for three days, and' patience is estimated to have been almost worn out, and it is estimated that she is really about to be thrown out of this Tingyuxuan.
Going out from Tingyuxuan probably means that she is going to officially enter this quagmire, which is why she wants to stay here until the end. finally passed Chen Huan's level, so what about after that? Xia Zhi has a headache just thinking about it.
When I was feeling sorry for myself, there was a knock on the door twice, and someone whispered through the door and asked, [Summer Solstice, are you there? γ
Xia Zhi rubbed his face with both hands and regrouped his spirits, [Yes, what's wrong? γ
The door opened a crack, and it turned out to be Xiao Yun, the little maid who had given her medicine in the past two days, a teenage girl who was pink and tender, and had two pigtails. She looked to both sides for a moment before she whispered, [Young Master Chen Huan is here, but he was entangled by two goblins downstairs, you go down and take a look! After saying that, he slipped his skirt and ran away.
The summer solstice is funny, which one is this singing? After thinking about it, I still tidied up my appearance and went downstairs to watch the play.
In the hall on the first floor, all the red silk lanterns of the previous day have been removed, and the hall has returned to its normal state. There weren't many guests tonight, just regular guests and befriended girls drinking and having fun in one place. Among them, the most lively is Chen Huan's seat.
Chen Huan, who hadn't seen her for a few days, became more and more radiant. A graceful and luxurious outfit shows the demeanor of a gentleman, holding a wine glass at the moment, smiling and accepting the compliments and praise of the goblins. In Xia Zhi's opinion, except for the more delicate and eye-catching face, everything else is no different from other guests.
[Young Master Chen, you try this mutton, I specially asked the cook to make it, do you see if it suits your taste? Pick up a piece of mutton from the lotus, make a bowl with his left hand and send it to Chen Huan's mouth. Chen Huan opened his mouth, took it, and praised it without hesitation, [It's really delicious, Miss Conghe has a heart.] γ
On the other side, Yin Shuang was not to be outdone, scooped a spoonful of chicken soup, and gently blew it cold and fed it, [Chen Gongzi, don't just eat meat, drink more soup to maintain your health. Chen Huan did not refuse to accept all the orders.
The companion was a fat-headed and big-eared boss, who looked very envious of Chen Huan's treatment, smacking his lips and sighing, [Young Master Chen is really glamorous, hugging the two top names of Tongxiangyuan on the left and right, he is really envious of others. When the girls next to them heard this, they quickly flattered them again.
[Boss Zhang said with a smile, I first came to Tongzhen, isn't it all for the sake of Boss Zhang's face that the girls are so enthusiastic? Chen Huanli is still reciprocating, putting high hats on each other.
Xia Zhi vaguely recognized that this fat-headed and big-eared Zhang Fugui was one of the richest people in Tong Town, acting as a dealer between farmers and merchants to make a profit, which could be described as making a lot of money. However, he is very stingy, and the girls call him an iron rooster behind their backs, so it's no wonder that Conghe and Yinshuang are pestering Chen Huan instead of this rich man.
[Speaking of which, why don't you see Miss Yutong? Young Master Chen hugged the beauty that day, why did he lose interest in a few days? Zhang Fugui suddenly mentioned this stubble, [Could it be that he doesn't like this gift from contemptible people? γ
Xia Zhi's ears couldn't help but prick up, a gift from Zhang Fugui? That is to say, it was Zhang Fugui who won the bid that day, not Chen Huan? Then why was he embarrassed to let her sign the thousand taels contract?
Yin Shuang hurriedly said, [She is not well in the summer solstice, if she is accompanied, I am afraid that it will arouse the interest of the two masters......]
[Summer solstice? Zhang Fugui had a puzzled face, [Why did you change your name? But it's also chic. γ
The girls exchanged glances in tacit understanding, not intending to say too clearly.
Xia Zhi squatted at the corner of the stairs, the corners of his mouth twitched when he heard this, and the name he casually took was praised and chic, should he be happy? However, the topic of companionship has finally been bypassed.
[Yo, what are you doing on the summer solstice!] Suddenly, a shrill female voice rang out, loud enough to attract the attention of everyone in the hall. Xia Zhi looked up and saw Tingfu's mocking face, thinking that this is really a narrow road, how did he encounter this trouble again.
Xia Zhi could feel the burning sensation of the whole audience, and awkwardly groped twice on the stairs, [My earrings have fallen off, and I'm looking for them. γ
Tingfu lowered her head and approached the summer solstice, [Aren't these two studs wearing well? γ
γβ¦β¦ It's another pair. Xia Zhi only wants to get into the stairs now, but he must have to fall into Tingfu first.
[Summer solstice, since you're downstairs, come here.] Chen Huan got up, walked towards her, and stretched out his hand to her very gentlemanly, this treatment was enough for her.
The audience paid attention to the ceremony, Xia Zhi put his hand on the head and followed Chen Huan to the banquet. Yin Shuang was reluctantly forced to give her up her place and moved to the side. Although I am not interested in entertainment, I have a table of delicious food to see the summer solstice index finger. These days are all white porridge and side dishes, the stomach has long been dull, and it is not bad to rub a delicious meal, and the summer solstice is eager to try.
[On the summer solstice, if you feel unwell, eat less greasy things and eat more vegetables. Chen Huan diligently put a plate of green vegetables in front of her and carefully advised.
Xia Zhi's chopsticks paused in mid-air, and he turned his head to meet Chen Huan's demonic smile, this guy definitely did it on purpose!
Zhang Fugui smiled, [I didn't expect Young Master Chen to be so careful and considerate, the summer solstice girl is so blessed.] γ
[Pity the fragrance and cherish the common feelings of the jade people, Boss Zhang don't laugh at me. ] Chen Huan shamelessly beautified himself, and accepted it without blushing.
There was another round of wine at the banquet, and the coquettish words went back and forth, and there was no practical content for a long time, but it seemed that the atmosphere was not bad. Xia Zhi didn't have the ability to follow the lotus and chant the lotus flower, even if he was at the banquet, he was just burying his head in hardship.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Fugui finally got to the point with the help of wine. Summer Solstice listened while eating, and also understood a rough idea. It turned out that Chen Huan went to Tongzhen to buy a batch of new rice on the occasion of the autumn harvest and use it for winemaking. If the compatibility is suitable, it will be a long-term business.
Zhang Fugui, as a local snake, naturally wants to win this deal. Zhao Yutong's first night, tonight's banquet, are all bribing Chen Huan in disguise, as long as the person in charge is done, are you still afraid that the business will be snatched away by others?
Chen Huan's attitude is very ambiguous, and he just doesn't want to let go of his mouth when he plays Tai Chi easily. The two went back and forth, mixed with the rise and play of the girls, no matter how you look at it, it is not a serious business.
[Young Master Chen, Ming people don't say dark words, if you can't do it, you can give a quasi-word, I, Zhang, will never force it. Zhang Fugui's patience has also been almost worn out, and the iron rooster plucking to this is already the limit, and if you have more blood, you should give up.
Chen Huan drank a glass of wine from Conghe's hand, and said slowly, [Boss Zhang, I know your sincerity, and I want to cooperate with you selfishly. But as I said, this business has to be bid! γ
