Chapter 41: Male and Female Alternates

Gui Yuan asked from outside, and hurried back to the banquet to tell Cao.

She told Cao that the second master was plotted in the courtyard outside, and he was not injured clearly. After hearing this, Cao Shi was completely shocked. But it was inconvenient to leave by himself, so he asked Yuyuan to call a few guys from the general merchant's account office to go to the outer courtyard to find out. In this way, the Cao family did not have much attention to greet food.

The rest, all kinds of delicacies emerge one after another, the main dish is three or three, a golden turtle stewed white crane, a golden Tai Sui boiled white pigeon, and a golden Buddha palm fried phoenix tongue. The rest of the dishes include lotus root with osmanthus and honey filling, dried bamboo shoots and deer breast, fried bear paws, crispy roast duck, golden chicken breast, sour oxtail, watermelon and five grains and harvest soup, etc., all of which are served on exquisite enamel porcelain plates, and are dotted with various melons, fruits and flowers; Then there are more than ten or twenty kinds of vegetarian dishes, such as Western oil heart, heaven and earth green, leek yellow snow lotus, rose lotus petals, etc., which are innumerable. This is the dish of the main table, the dishes of the girls and the gentlemen at the back, the main dish is less Jin Tai Sui boiled white pigeon, and the other dishes are the same, and the portion is less. The girl's table only has home-cooked dishes, no main dishes.

Each table is served with bird's nest, flower brewed sweet wine, sour sauce, flower tea, etc., and there are countless of them.

Lao Fujin joked because of this: "The Queen Mother's Western dining room is just like this, I think it's a little more luxurious." ”

The old lady smiled: "It's all thanks to the Queen Mother, otherwise where can I eat?" Those of us who are old can just take a bite if we can. Catch Ming'er stretch her legs, after all, I don't know what new ones will come out in the future, and you can still eat it? Now the Queen Mother is not interested in eating this, and we are blessed by the Queen Mother to eat what she has left! It is also rare for Lao Fujin to come over, it can be regarded as the Beifu has added dishes to Lao Fujin, and I will honor your old man. I think they have filial piety, according to the generation, it is made. ”

You're welcome. Zhuang Hu saw that the Cao family was not as polite and absent-minded as before, and knew that the housekeeper would give bad news when he came to disturb her mind. So, Zhuang Hu greeted the Cao family consciously.

The old lady of the chair was afraid that her grandchildren would be restrained, so she just raised her voice to greet her, and said with her face to the table: "Eat well!" The second wife has a big face. You don't have to be polite to her, you can only count when you eat it all. ”

Zhuang Jue got up with a smile and said to the old lady: "What the old lady said is that a few of them dare not move their chopsticks. said that he wanted to give it to the old lady first, and Lao Fujin came first. ”

After speaking, Zhuang Ying smiled at the people at the table, and the rest of Zhuang Pu, Su Yuan, and Hongzao, Young Master Tong, Cao Yingguan and a few other friends got up together, and all went to the main table to toast and thank you.

The old lady was happy in her heart, and said to Cao's family: "The children all know the etiquette, how can you, the master of the family, be bored!" ”

Cao Shi woke up, turned around with the wine, smiled slightly, took the etiquette, and waited for them to drink themselves. Because he said: "That's the second girl, at most I just support brute force." If you want to thank you, you can go and thank the second girl. ”

Zhuang Pu said: "Naturally, later, let Young Master Tong go over for us." ”

That Young Master Tong has a marriage relationship with Zhuang Xuan, and now he is pointed out by Zhuang Pu and said that his face is red. He was already restrained, and now he wished there was a gap for himself to burrow into to hide his shame. It stands to reason that this marriage match between men and women should be shy about meeting, but fortunately, there are elders by the side this time, and it doesn't hurt. It's just that it's very embarrassing now.

Na and Hongzao said on the side: "Since it is the head of the second girl, Brother Tong will go on our behalf!" ”

All of a sudden, there was a coaxing at the men's table, first shouting for Young Master Tong to go, and then Young Master Tong pushed and Hongzao. That and Hongzao pointed to the third girl Zhuang Ying, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, she went to toast the old lady, and the wine accidentally spilled to Zhuang Yu, and now, everyone pointed the finger at himself, and he wished that he really went to see the third girl, and then apologized to the fifth girl.

After a little push or two, he got up and went to the girls' table.

When he arrived at the girls' table, he Hongzao glanced at everyone first, and everyone hung their heads shyly.

He Hongzao bowed to Zhuang Ju and said, "The table over there sent me to thank the girl, thank the girl for the food." ”

Zhuang Xuan covered the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said "um" slightly.

He Hongzao saw the response, and smiled at Zhuang Ying's chin, Zhuang Ying knew that he was promised to be with him, and his face was red early, and his head hung lower. Because he saw Zhuang Yu smiling at the corner of his mouth, he bowed to Zhuang Yu again and said, "Last time, I spilled wine on my sister, and I never apologized in person." I apologize to you today. ”

Zhuang Yu raised his head and smiled: "That was originally sprinkled on the third sister, you should just sprinkle her." He smiled at Zhuang Ying.

Zhuang Ying heard Zhuang Yu say about herself, so she got up and lowered her eyes to He Hongzao.

He Hongzao waved at Zhuang Ying again: "The three girls are polite." ”

Zhuang Ying laughed softly: "Be polite to the young master." ”

He laughed out loud with the Jinshu on the side, and coughed dryly: "Otherwise, you can sit down, and you won't let people eat it while you're standing?" Or how about you go back and call Zhuang Pu and give me a gift for a while? ”

Because of these words, the sisters laughed.

And because he didn't know much about Hongzao, Zhuang Qi was desperately trying to suppress his virtuous and dignified at the moment, and Jinshu said casually: "You don't know the person next to me." The second girl was shy and forgot to introduce. ”

Only then did Zhuang Qi raise his head and introduce Yu Qi and Ayu.

Yu Qi and Ayu got up and returned the salute with Hongzao. When it was over, he didn't say anything, and he went back to the other side of the table with Hongzao.

Seeing him leave, Zhuang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, you reminded me." Smile at the brocade book.

Jin Shu said: "You haven't seen each other for a long time after this?" Or meet like this? I don't think I'm an outsider if I'm here today, right? ”

Jinshu's words seem to be bland, but he dug out his mind to laugh at Zhuang Qi and Zhuang Ying, and used them for fun.

Zhuang Ying was embarrassed, Zhuang Qi didn't spare the brocade book, let the girl pour wine, and said again and again: "Give Miss Jin three cups, don't give her more food, just let her get drunk, see if she still talks nonsense." ”

Several girls got Zhuang Xuan's order, and they all came around to pour wine and pour brocade books.

Jinshu took a drink and said with a smile: "Spare me!" Shall I not say anything more? Sister, spare me! ”

Zhuang Yu smiled: "Sister Shu drank it herself, it's hard to give her a drink." ”

Jinshu Xiaoxiaobai glanced at Zhuang Yu and said with a smile: "What is the loss of the sister and the victory of the sister, then the civil and military conference has not started, where is the win or loss?" ”

Zhuang Yu slapped again and again, and said, "Yes, yes!" Then he said to his girl: "Go, let the second brother and the third brother come over, and talk about the win or loss!" Because he thought that Zhuang Pu and Jinshu should be better, he said: "Don't call the third brother, just call the second brother!" ”

Jin Shu did not stop him, and took the wine glass to salute Yu Qi.

Yu Qi and Ayu were on the side, and they were silent all the time.

Yu Qi thought that he could be quiet and didn't want to get involved in anything, but Ayu was absent-minded because of Mr. Guan's accident.

Nowadays, Jinshu toasts, and Yu Qi and Ayu raise their glasses.

Jin Shu said: "Miss Ayu, I am the first time I have seen her, so I should respect her first." So he took a deep look at Yu Qi, who understood and put down the wine glass. Ayu smiled bitterly and looked up. After that, the brocade book paid homage to Yu Qi again.

Yu Qi said: "My body is not very good, and the wine is even worse, can I use tea?" ”

Jin Shu said: "What's the matter? How many months ago was the injury not complete? She herself didn't know about Yu Lilian's injury.

It was difficult for Yu Qi to say the reason, so he smiled and smiled.

Zhuang Yu said: "Where is it, it is the big brother who doesn't want to die......"

Yu Yu grabbed Zhuang Yu a little and didn't say anything, so Zhuang Yu shut up and ate with chopsticks.

Judging from their expressions, Jin Shu knew that there must be a story in it, and it was not easy to ask at this time, so he smiled back with Yu Qi's smile. For the rest, the sisters talked and laughed, and Yu Qi and Ayu didn't have a scene for a while.

After a while, Zhuang Pu came over and said to everyone quite tiredly: "What are my sisters calling me for?" My brother wants to eat and drink, and it's time to talk about it. ”

Zhuang Ju's chin was raised towards Jinshu, Zhuang Pu knew what he meant, and said to Jinshu with slanted eyebrows: "Miss Jin, what's the matter?" ”

Jin Shu laughed, shook his head and said: "What do the girls mean to wait for the civil and military conference, what if the two of us go in a group, what if we lose?" ”

Zhuang Pu said: "Heh! I happened to go with you. I saw that I was in a group with Miss Ayu. ”

Jinshu glanced at Ayu at this time, and saw that Ayu was quiet and elegant, with frowning eyebrows and wet eyes, which was exquisite. Jinshu smiled faintly and didn't reply.

Zhuang Pu waved his hand and said, "I'll see the real chapter later, it's too early to talk about it now." ”

Jin Shu said: "It's up to you." ”

Zhuang Pu smiled evilly: "Miss Jin, look at the way you talk to you, I always tell your brother, I can't catch up!" Look at my sisters, which one is like you, and the uncle saw the joke. Lady, lady! ”

Zhuang Pu said while laughing and turned away.

Jin Shu pursed his lips and snorted.

Zhuang Ying approached her and comforted her slightly: "Sister Jinshu, don't be angry with my brother, he's used to it." ”

Jin Shu said angrily: "It's not, he's used to it." Maybe someone will submit him to me in the future! ”

Zhuang Qi covered his mouth and laughed, silent, Zhuang Yu was interested, and hurriedly put his hand on Yu Qi, who pretended not to understand the meaning. Zhuang Yu looked at him again. Seeing Zhuang Yu like this, Jin Shu pretended to be annoyed and said, "What did the fifth girl say?" Laugh at me. ”

Zhuang Yu didn't reply, at the table behind the girl, Zhuang Pu's personal girl Xianglian had already brought a cup and said to Jinshu: "The girl is generous, what are you angry with our second master and the girl." Left, but you can just treat them as a joke. ”

Jinshu turned his head to look at Xianglian, looking at her appearance, she was a little outstanding, her face was kind, her body and temperament were very outstanding in the girl's pile, and she looked approachable. Before anyone arrived, the smiling face greeted first. Therefore, Jin Shu had a good impression of him and said, "What you said is that you treat me as a human being." ”

Zhuang Xuan smiled: "Ouch, where is this?" Right now, inside and outside the house, sooner or later you will be in the same room. This will not be busy with that almost. ”

Talking made the girls laugh.

Jin Shu stopped talking, and Xianglian returned to the table.

After that, each table is open and talking to himself. Halfway through, Zhuang Xuan got up and left the table, walked to the lake, and clapped his hands in the distance of Naping Lake.

Because of this scene, everyone's eyes were gathered.

Some people are discussing: What are these two girls going to do?

Zhuang Ying was curious and asked Zhuang Ying, Zhuang Ying smiled and said, "Look, I don't know much either." ”

Zhuang Xuan clapped his palms for a while, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it into the lake. I only heard the sound of Pinghu, the waves were rippling, and the aftermath was not finished, and suddenly there was a burst of vocal music from the lotus pile in the center of the lake.

Immediately after, a golden-bodied boat floated out, there were two women on it, one green and one white, the green one was dressed as a girl, holding a penny in his hand, and the white one was sitting in the belly of the boat, with a guqin on his lap.

Just listen to a burst of music coming from the surface of the lake, far away, like that sparkling, flickering endlessly.

Zhuang Yu cheered, clapped his hands and said, "This is not "Luo Shen Fu Song"? ”

Zhuang Xuan smiled, full of pride. Yu Qi looked at Zhuang Qi's expressions, and suddenly it was as if he saw Cao's face, and his heart suddenly cracked.
