Chapter Forty-Eight: Exquisite Meaning
Sure enough, the Cao family came to tear the second master's face.
Present.
The woman who had just gotten off the sedan chair crossed her waist in front of the sedan chair, and the woman waved to everyone. He stretched out his hand to the second master Zhuang Lu with a hippie smile, and his four fingers jumped up and down, as if he wanted to ask for something.
Zhu'er was puzzled, afraid that the old man would be embarrassed and the guests would laugh at him, so he said softly to the woman: "Girl, what does this mean?" ”
The woman turned her head and said with a smile: "How can a sedan chair be so easy to kick?" Our hometown kicked a bag of silver once, and your lord kicked it two or three times, how many bags of silver should I have? ”
This remark made everyone laugh.
The second old man was embarrassed, and hurriedly beckoned to the head of the money village behind him, and the two of them knew each other and hurriedly turned around.
At this side, Zhuang Lu smiled and said: "Girl, don't say, I asked someone to take the silver." Tell your lady to come out. ”
The woman coughed a few times, blinked her big eyes, licked her tongue, and said, "Oh, sir! I heard that you are also in business, why don't you know the truth of handing over people with one hand and delivering goods with the other. ”
The housekeeper couldn't stand it anymore, so he hurriedly shouted: "Savage and faceless girl, who has this rule." Don't miss the time of the master. ”
The woman's eyes were not directed to the butler, she sighed, turned around and wanted to get into the sedan chair. At this time, Cao's voice floated in.
Cao's face was straight, his words were smiling, his eyebrows were colored, and he said softly: "Ouch, I thought it was a bride!" But the person under the kang again? One marries and two are you going? ”
When the woman heard this, she retracted her hand to lift the sedan curtain, and she was not angry, and turned around slowly. When I saw Cao's rich and noble face, I knew that it was the wife of the main house. It is dignified and dignified to the next end of the etiquette.
Cao smiled and took it.
In an instant, the woman restrained the ceremonial hands and feet, turned around, stepped on the sedan pole with one foot, gave a thumbs up, and said: "I brought the person, and I want someone to pay the money." No negotiable! ”
This change of time was unexpected by everyone.
Zhuang Ying and Cao Yingguan in front of them were already laughing uncontrollably. Zhuang Jue saw Yu Qi and Zhuang Qi behind the people, and they all smiled.
Zhuang Jue moved to Yu Qi's side.
Zhuang Jue whispered to Yu Qi: "Sister, you can't be like this in the future, it's too barbaric." ”
Yu Qi didn't match, covered his mouth and looked at the woman.
Zhuang Qian smiled and asked Zhuang Jue: "Who is that person?" is so bold, and he is not afraid of being rectified by the housekeeper in the future. ”
Zhuang Ying replied: "She? Oh, it's the new aunt's girl, and it doesn't look like a girl. From the outside, they have a good relationship. ”
Zhuang Yu leaned over and asked: "They all say that foreign women are arrogant, but now it looks like it's true." How can the master stand it? ”
Zhuang Jue said: "I think it's good to make a joke, live at home, and the old lady is afraid to say that there are no etiquette rules." After all, it is the second sister and the third sister, they can stand it, we don't talk about this, fifth sister, what do you care about these things about. ”
Zhuang Yu snorted, stopped talking, and walked a few steps forward to see.
Zhuang Yu went outside and stood behind Cao.
I saw Cao Shi wiping the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "I didn't know that the bride bought one and sold another." So he said to Guiyuan, "Guiyuan, go to my house and get the money." How much the lord is out, how much I am out. We also made it again as a husband and wife. ”
This side talked and laughed, but it shocked everyone out of the sky. Some of the guests applauded, and some applauded Cao's.
Gui Yuan took the order.
After a while, the first household of the money village came out with three bags of silver on a tray and presented them to the housekeeper, who took it and let the master look at it.
The old man Zhuang Lu motioned to the woman, and the woman squinted her eyebrows, glanced at it, picked up a bag, and smiled; So he took the three bags of silver and put them on his body. I wanted to lift the curtain, but suddenly thought of Cao's words, so I stopped, turned around and said, "I forgot, I just said that there is still a part." I'll wait. ”
When the butler heard this, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
Zhuang Lu raised his hand and motioned for the housekeeper to step back.
For the rest, wait until the money comes out.
Gui Yuan also held a plate, and Cao squinted at it and coughed. Gui Yuan signaled, stopped, and gave way to the eyes. After reading it, Cao picked up a bag with a smile and threw it at the woman's feet.
Cao Shi smiled: "Here you go, girl!" There are still two bags here, no less than the one given by the master. But hold it tight, don't be a person with a red knife and a halberd to rob you, kill and rob. ”
Cao's behavior is enough to trample on people, and those words are even more semantic puns. satirized the barbaric assassins in the old department of Huijiang who had hurt people on the street before, and ridiculed the second old man Zhuang Lu for forcibly buying and selling the bride back.
The guests didn't know why, they all went to laugh at the woman, and the wife and aunt in the house knew about it, so they were quite worried, but they were also amused by Cao's words.
Yu Qi behind the person thought to himself, this girl looks a little brutal, but she has a righteous face, neither humble nor arrogant, and she should not be humiliated and squatted down to take the silver. Unexpectedly, the woman really squatted down and made a gesture towards Cao's family.
The woman picked up the silver and said, "It's really more generous than the master, madam, I'll mess with you in the future!" ”
These words made people roll back and forth with laughter.
Cao's smiling face froze, and then he picked up a bag of silver from the Guiyuan tray, and no matter where he threw it, he saw it thrown into the air in the distance.
Everyone knew that the Cao family intended to embarrass the newcomer, so they all held their breath and saw where the silver fell.
Many eyes stared at the silver and flew out, no one looked at the woman's figure and toes, only to see the red arrow flying up in the air, the toe on the railing of the car door, a somersault, such a beautiful carp jumping over the dragon gate. The woman's body was already flying in the air, and she went to catch the bag of silver.
When the woman landed, everyone exclaimed.
Cao and the other female relatives were afraid and retreated again and again.
The housekeeper, the head of the money village and other servants were afraid that the woman would hurt the master, so they all stepped forward to protect them.
The sword phoenix and Jianqiu in front of Zhuang Hu had some martial arts, and when he saw that the woman's figure was a foundation, he whispered to Zhuang Hu: "Big girl, there is a background." "I want to use force to subdue her.
Zhuang Hu pressed down on Dao Feng and Jian Qiu, and said silently: "Look first." The guests are there. ”
At this time, the woman was satisfied with the second bag of silver, walked back to the car door, patted her shoes on tiptoe, and said with a smile: "It's better to take the silver!" My wife's is ...... Others threw them farther away. Don't let our lady sit in the middle of it. A sedan chair so small, sitting for three people, is so spacious now, it is better to change to a large sedan chair earlier. ”
But no, when she went out, the woman proposed to sit in a sedan chair with the bride to protect her. In addition, the mother-in-law who taught etiquette and rules invited by Zhuang Lu also sat inside.
It's hard to hurt the four palanquins.
As she spoke, the woman turned back, and when she came to the palanquins, she gave the bags of silver on her body to one person.
The woman waved to the palanquin man: "The four eldest brothers have worked hard, and the old lady will reward you with tea." ”
The four palanquin men originally looked tired, but now when they saw so much silver, their faces were all smiling like flowers, and they waved to the woman again and again, and they were busy thanking Zhuang Lu and others.
Cao's self-righteous face darkened at this time. He had just taken a few steps back, and now that the woman had no hurtful heart, he was bold and bold, and took the third bag of silver from the expensive round plate.
The aunt was afraid that it would be bad to make a big fuss, so she stepped forward and said to Cao's: "Madam, it's over if you give a good voice." The guests are not good-looking. ”
Cao Shi pulled the corners of his mouth, shook the golden hairpins on his head, and flashed a sentence: "How can there be such a good progress." ”
As she spoke, she let go of the bag of silver, only to see it fall straight under her toe skirt.
In this move, the Cao family asked the girl to squat down to her and take the silver.
The woman didn't like this, nor thought about it, but staggered forward, sighed, and crouched down to pick up the silver. Cao's toes were exposed in an instant, and he stepped on the silver.
The girl smiled evilly, took out the bag of silver that was just left, and smashed it on Cao's feet.
Cao Shi screamed in surprise and fell backwards. Gui Yuan and Yu Yuan hurriedly held on, because suddenly, coupled with Cao's body fat, not right, Cao had already tilted his head back, everyone helped over, only to see Cao straightening his body, his center of gravity was unstable, leaning forward, kneeling towards the woman and the sedan door.
The woman picked up the silver and said happily: "This silver is the most heartfelt." I like it for our lady. Walking up to Zhuang Lu, he said, "Master, pick up someone!" ”
Next, the vocal music rang out in unison. Because the aunt remembered the pregnant person, she hurriedly signaled to Zhuang Hu, and Zhuang Hu asked the housekeeper to instruct those people to play. The music that had just been loud stopped dimly.
Immediately, a woman wearing a wedding flower and a red wedding dress came out of the sedan chair. The mother-in-law got out of the sedan chair and motioned for the sedan chair driver to come up and dump the sedan chair.
Tilting the sedan chair, the mother-in-law lifted the curtain and set up a hand.
For the rest, everyone saw clearly, it was a person who couldn't even see what he looked like, with a red scarf on his head, a red body, a pair of fat white jade hands holding a red handkerchief, three gold rings inlaid with green jade on his fingers, and his hands were superimposed on the slightly bulging belly, the shape was graceful, and he moved step by step.
Out of the sedan chair, the guests shouted that the old man carried the bride into the door.
The housekeeper waved to the guests and said, "The master can pull it, everyone will give a face, and welcome it inside." He said to Cao's again: "Madam, the hall has been saluted." ”
Cao snorted, glanced at the bride with resentment, turned his head and went in.
Immediately afterwards, the guests congratulated and welcomed Zhuang Lu to lead the bride into the door.
When they got to the gate, a woman brought a brazier, and the bride stepped in. After the brazier, it is the courtyard.
The palace has arranged for the girl to bring copper coins, dried fruits and other things, and when she saw the bride coming, she sprinkled it on her head.
This noisy newcomer through the courtyard, into the second gate, is a brazier, into the second gate of the courtyard, and then the courtyard is equipped with tea, fragrant rice, peanuts, dates and other mascots, all like the front yard to the newcomer sprinkled.
And so on, until the main hall.
Worship in the hall, send the bride into the cave room, here the common happy things, everyone sees a lot, as usual. Not much to say here.
There was a commotion in the hall, and just now the woman followed behind with the silver, and she didn't enter the hall, but sat under the corridor outside the courtyard of the second gate, looking around.
The girls had already gone in, but Yu Qi did not go inside, standing at the door of the hall to look, because he saw that the woman was there alone, Yu Qi walked away, intending to greet and speak.
Yu Qi said: "Why doesn't the girl go in?" ”
The woman raised her eyes and looked at Yu Qi in disgust, ignoring it.
Yu Qi was interested, and turned around with an embarrassed smile.
Sanxi was full of joy, and said sarcastically: "Our girl has a good heart, and no one in this house treats you well, so our girl talks to you politely." It can be seen that the human heart is not the human heart, and it ignores people. ”
When the woman had heard this, she stood up.
Sanxi saw her skills, and was afraid of beating herself, so she hid beside Yu Li.
Yu Qi turned around to block Sanxi at this time, and even said to the woman: "Girl, don't blame, my girl is used to having no rules." I'll hit her when I go back. ”
The woman laughed, pointed at Sanxi and said, "What's her name?" ”
Yu Qi thought that the woman had a grudge and didn't want to say it. Who knew that Sanxi replied: "My name is Sanxi." ”
The woman smiled, "Okay, I remember you." And he went up to the hall.
Sanxi couldn't help but ask: "Then what is your name?" ”
The woman stopped, turned around and quickly replied: "Golden ......" paused, blinked her big eyes and thought, and said: "There is a lot of gold and silver, I changed my name." Call me Linglong! I happened to see a bamboo plaque hanging outside the door of a house on the side, which read "Linglong Pavilion".
Sanxi was about to answer again, but Yu Qi had already pinched her arm.
The woman with the name of Linglong went in.
Yu Qi said viciously to Sanxi: "It's been a few times, I don't know how powerful it is!" Sanxi frowned and didn't say anything.
Ayu next to him smiled lightly: "Look, that girl doesn't have any malice." The mind is much more civilized than that of the people in the house. It's just that the money is heavier. But I'm surprised, there are surnames in the world? ”
Yu Qi shook his head and motioned to go in.
So, Yu Qi, Ayu and Sanxi entered the hall.
At this moment, the worship has been completed, and the bride has sent it to the bamboo garden. Zhuang Lu and others beckoned the guests and their families to take their seats. Cao Shi and the others have already gone behind. Seeing this, Yu Qi quietly disappeared from behind the screen.
At this moment, Zhuang Jue suddenly flashed over from the side and grabbed Yu Qi: "Where is my sister, why aren't you here just now?" ”
Zhuang Jue said and took out a red envelope, took Yu Li's hand, pressed the red envelope in her hand, and said, "It's auspicious, you should also get one, I'll take it for you." ”
Yu Qi smiled gratefully at Zhuang Yu, speechless.
Zhuang Jue said: "After a while, I'll go to you, the old man here is here, so uncomfortable." ”
Yu Qi said: "Whatever you want." ”
Just as he was about to leave, Zhuang Jue suddenly remembered Huiyuan and asked, "Has Huiyuan from your yard ever come back?" ”
Yu Qi was stunned, yes, Huiyuan is in the mirror at the moment, is it with Zisu? Is it safe? Are you safe and sound? For a while, my heart was full of wisdom.
Because he saw Zhuang Ying so concerned, he somehow felt a little different about him.
Yu Qi didn't look back, hooked his head and lowered his eyes to the back.
On this side, Zhuang Jue also returned to the hall to accompany the guests.
I don't know which guest mentioned: "Why don't you see the second master in your house?" ”
Speaking of which, everyone remembered that Zhuang Pu had not come back since he went out. Zhuang Qin, the third master of Xifu, asked Zhuang Ying to question, and Zhuang Ying said that he was going to pick up people, but he didn't know. I asked the housekeeper and the others again, and the housekeeper said that he had been busy and hadn't paid attention.
So, let the housekeeper ask Si'er to ask Xianglian in the back, and Xianglian was also strange, saying that she thought that the second master was sent to pick up people and run errands.
The rest of the feast was held because of the late hour. Someone mentioned that the old lady and the old man were coming, and the old man explained again.
In the middle of the banquet, the person sent by Zhuang Qin to find Zhuang Pu came back and reported: "The second master went to Dongfu to settle the matter, and when he came out, he came to Beifu, and I don't know who passed the word later, so he went out." I don't know where I went. It's time to come back. ”
In this way, Zhuang Qin hurriedly asked people to go back to Xifu to look for it, but he couldn't find it after looking around.
When the banquet was about to end, it was reported that the old lady and the third lady had returned home, and then reported: "There are officials from outside to spread the word that the second master has been locked up." ”
These two layers of events have stirred up before and after, how can this feast continue?
