Chapter 30 The sour showman

Wang Yun led them back home and shouted that his wife had seen them. Wang Yun went to the East Wing again, attracting the three masters and servants of Xiucai.

That Xiucai is seventeen or eighteen years old, white and clean, delicate and elegant. The scholar was fourteen or fifteen years old, and the servant was about forty.

Wang Yun said: "Everyone went to the capital, and they happened to walk together all the way, and they took care of each other. You get acquainted with each other first, and I'll go kill the chickens and prepare the vegetables. ”

Anyway, go all over the yard to chase chickens.

Feng'er hugged her fists and said, "My name is Lin Feng'er." ”

Ah Niu said, "My name is Ah Niu. ”

Na Xiucai glanced at it from the corner of his eye, rolled his eyes, snorted from his nostrils, and said nothing, with a gesture of contempt and arrogance.

Du Ling saw it in her eyes, and her heart was extremely unhappy, she puffed out her eyes and pouted and did not answer.

Ziwei clenched his fists and said: "My name is Liang Ziwei, a native of Kyoto, studying in Yancheng with my father, and I will return to Beijing this time." It is a great honor to be able to walk with my brother. ”

Na Xiucai also hugged his fist and said:

"Xiaosheng is a native of Jingzhou, and his surname is Yao Mingxun Wenshen. The child's name is Cai Bao, and the family member is called Yao An. This time I met Brother Liang by chance, and I was able to walk all the way, which is really a blessing for three lives. ”

Ziwei said: "Each other, each other!"

Du Ling pulled the corner of Feng'er's clothes and said:

"Brother Feng'er, everyone is a sour literati, and we can't understand what they say, so we might as well go and help Brother Wang catch chickens. ”

Feng'er and Ah Niu said in unison, "Okay!" and turned around and ran towards the courtyard.

That Xiucai Yao Xun heard Du Ling's words a little harsh, wrinkled and said to Ziwei:

"Brother Liang, I don't know why you are related to these flowers?"

Ziwei said: "It's not a relative, it's some old friends, I went back to the capital this time, they were idle and came out to accompany me."

Yao Xun said: "Scholars like you and me, if you want to make friends, how can you mix with these people, insult Sven, and make the world laugh off their big teeth." ”

Ziwei said: "Brother Yao's words are serious! Although they are from poor backgrounds, they all understand things and are more sincere than some scholars. ”

Yao Xun waved his hand and said: "Brother Liang's words are wrong! Scholars are self-denying, and if they are good, they will help the world, and if they are poor, they will be good to themselves." Jade can be destroyed without changing its whiteness, and bamboo can be burned without changing its knots. That is to say: freeze to death at the windward station, starve to death and do not bow your head. Thou shalt not be fed by the spurt. ”

Before Ziwei could answer, Du Ling and Ah Niu happened to pass by, and Du Ling heard Yao Xun say this, and his heart was even more angry. replied:

"You're hungry!"

Ah Niu was not so polite when he spoke, and said:

"Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back! The difference between you, who wears silk and satin, and me, who wears a hundred clothes, is one father! I will starve you to death if I beg for food. ”

Yao Xiucai was choked and speechless, just shook his head and said:

"Foul language, vulgar and rude......"

Ziwei saw that Yao Xun was in an embarrassing situation, so he had to play a round and say:

"Brother Yao, let's go and help the kitchen together. ”

Yao Xun waved his hand again and said:

"Hey, Brother Liang, the ancients said: The gentleman is far away from cooking. Killing chickens and slaughtering geese is something that a scholar must not do. Mencius said: I can't bear to see his death when I see his life, and I can't bear to eat his flesh when I hear his voice. Let's just wait. ”

Ziwei didn't have anything to say, and he didn't have much in common with Yao Xiucai, so he had to put his hands up and listen to his own chatter.

Wang Yun and Feng'er quickly caught two chickens, let them bleed, and Du Ling and Ah Niu boiled water to remove hair and dirt, and took them into the kitchen. Wang's sister-in-law jingled for a while.

Wang Yun said to Feng'er: "Little brother, I'll go out and send someone to report the matter of Han Wu to the official, and I'll be back later." ”

Feng'er said, "Brother Wang, please." ”

It didn't take long, the sister-in-law of the king fried and stewed, and made a table full of meals, chicken, duck and fish meat were seasonal and fresh, as if it was the New Year, and only saw Ah Niu salivating.

After Wang Yun went for a short time, he came back and was busy arranging for everyone to sit down. He vigorously pulled Feng'er to the guest of honor, and Feng'er waved his hand and resolutely refused. Let Ziwei and let Yao Xiucai sit over.

According to the ancient precept, the female generation is not allowed to sit at the table, and the sister-in-law went to the kitchen to eat by herself, and the nine of them gathered around a full table.

After Wang Yun said a few polite words, he was about to start the banquet, and Yao Xun said: "Slow!"

I saw him clasp his hands together, shake his head at a pot of chicken, and start a dojo.

"Chickens have the meaning of the five virtues, and it is inevitable that a knife will be a disaster. It is known to people in life, and there is nowhere to bury it after death. Temporarily stored in my womb, it is also a coffin. Woohoo, alas!"

After chattering, he shouted again: "Sister-in-law Wang, bring me a few cloves of garlic!"

Du Ling, who had just taken a sip of water in his mouth, turned his head and squirted.

During the banquet, the cup was pushed and changed, so it was not lively. While he was in progress, he suddenly heard a shout outside the door:

"I'm late, old man!"
