Chapter 51: The Meaning of the Drunkard
Zhuang Meiyan was talking about homely things, and asked Chunju to give up the seat to serve tea. The grass hut was shabby, the wooden bench was shabby, and the woman didn't seem to mind much, and blindly set up a relationship with Zhuang Meiyan.
Her husband's family and Zhuang Meiyan are uncles and brothers of their own family, named Zhuang Qinghong, and Zhuang Meiyan should call him a big brother according to his generation. Zhuang Qinghong opened a restaurant in the town, and there was still land in the countryside, and he had a good life. In this way, this woman and Zhuang Fu are not close relatives, but she is smart, last year Zhuang Fu returned to settle in her hometown, she went to the inner house to visit the head of the house Liu family, and there is no special friendship.
The two talked for a while, the tea was added three times, and the taste had faded, and Zhuang Meiyan couldn't help but get bored when she saw that this person was still gossiping out of tune.
The sister-in-law suddenly lowered her voice, probed her body hard, approached Zhuang Meiyan, and said, "The third sister is really a genius, and the wine she brews is even full of praise from buyers from the capital. ”
She suddenly said that the wine was coming, Zhuang Meiyan was secretly vigilant, and she didn't know what this person meant, so she had to wait and see what happened.
"My sister-in-law laughed, where will my sister make wine. Zhuang Meiyan said thoughtfully.
Sister-in-law Hong smiled all over her face, and said proudly: "Sister, don't coax me, now everyone in the town knows that there is a third girl in the 'Phoenix Nest', and the wine is particularly fragrant, didn't the big customer from the capital take six hundred jars of good wine from you a few days ago?"
"There is such a thing, my sister-in-law wants to take it back for a long time, Chunju, to give my sister-in-law the two jars of newly brewed 'seven days drunk'. ”
Nahong's sister-in-law waved her hand again and again, smiling more and more flatteringly, and said, "Third girl, someone asked me to give you a wealth of money." ”
As she spoke, she took out a silver ticket from her personal purse, put it on the kang table, and said, "This is a silver ticket of five hundred taels, Tongbao Qianzhuang, all exchanged and exchanged." This silver ticket is a little heart, if the third sister is willing to agree to a thing, to ensure that the third sister will have endless silver taels in the future. ”
Zhuang Meiyan's heart suddenly brightened, it turned out that he was a lobbyist, and he despised this person's next work very much, and said in his mouth: "Yo! With so much silver, where can Zhuang Meiyan afford it!"
Sister-in-law Hong thought that the matter was successful, and hit the railway while it was hot: "This silver ticket is entrusted by Boss Liu of Liu's wine shop to give to my third sister, as long as the third sister helps him make wine in the future, sixty or four points, you take sixty percent, he is willing to take only forty percent, all the costs are paid by Boss Liu, my sister looks good?"
Zhuang Meiyan frowned slightly, and said indifferently: "It turned out to be this matter, and my sister-in-law came all the way to bother, but it was hard work." Boss Liu was gracious, and Meiyan could only say a word of gratitude - Meiyan had already made a contract with Xi's father in the Xijia wine shop, and Meiyan's wine was only supplied to the Xijia wine shop, if Boss Liu wanted to buy Meiyan's wine, please go to the Xijia wine shop to discuss with Xi's father. ”
The words are neither arrogant nor humble, neither impatient nor impatient, not only to make a clear position, but also not to embarrass the lobbyist in front of him. Sister-in-law Hong smiled when she saw her, knowing that there was no room for things to change, she was still unwilling, and added: "Boss Liu said that if the girl feels inconvenient, it is okay to sell the wine recipe to him, and the price is set by the girl." ”
This sentence is really shameless, Zhuang Meiyan was furious, she said coldly: "Sister-in-law, this recipe is not charming, if it is charming, she will make it herself, what is it worth to give it to her sister-in-law for nothing." Annoying sister-in-law said that with that boss Liu, she said that this recipe was the ancestor of the Xi family, and she didn't dislike me as an outsider, so she asked me to do it. If I even sold other people's ancestral secret recipes, wouldn't my sister-in-law look down on me? ”
There was a needle hidden in these words, and Hong's sister-in-law was also a sensible person, and her face was suddenly flushed, and she sat like a needle felt, and hurriedly got up to say goodbye.
Zhuang Meiyan was not reluctant, she only asked Chunju to send it out of the door, and when she left, she asked Chunju to lead the little girl to the wine cellar and took ten jars of wine for her to take back. The daughter-in-law took the wine, the complexion on her face softened a lot, and she said some politeness to Chunju.
Chunju returned to the house, a little puzzled, and asked: "Miss, that person is so disgusting, he can say such a thing, but Miss can bear it, and the slave is angry when she hears it, and she can't wait to slap her twice." This kind of person is a philistine, see profit and forget righteousness, we have lived here for almost half a year and have not seen her come, now I heard that the young lady knows this craft, earns silver, and comes to stammer, it is really 'poor in the city no one asks, rich in the mountains have distant relatives'. Having said that, I don't know how much silver the person surnamed Liu gave her? ”
Zhuang Meiyan smiled, not angry or annoyed, and said: "This kind of villain can let her, isn't this sent away." ”
Chunju pouted and said, "Miss also asked the slave to give her so much wine, and such a good wine was given to that kind of woman." ”
Zhuang Meiyan said with a straight face: "Your Nizi's temper will be changed in the future, even if she is wrong, she is a guest after all, and people come with gifts, and the etiquette cannot be lost." Such a person, we may not be useless if we hand it over. Villains can't do good things, but it's more than enough to do bad things. ”
Chunju stuck out her tongue and said, "It's still Miss thoughtful, Chunju wrote it down." ”
Zhuang Meiyan nodded the corner of her forehead with a smile, and said angrily: "Dead girl, you know that you can hold money, aren't you afraid that Miss I will shorten your dowry?"
Chunju blushed, stomped her feet, and walked out of the house.
Qiyang Town, today's big set, the streets are particularly lively. Food, clothing, and play, each store is crowded with bustling people, choosing the right items.
Suddenly, an earth-shattering scream came from a medicine hall.
"Ahh
People were shocked, only to see half of a young man's body squeezed out of the door of the medicine hall, and as soon as he stepped out of one leg, seven or eight hands grabbed him tightly behind him. The young man had handsome eyebrows and fair skin, and he stretched out his arm pitifully, and cried out in despair: "Help me! I don't want a needle!
Everyone laughed, they had heard of people who were afraid of needles, but they had never seen people who were afraid of needles.
The person was dragged in, and four or five people stepped forward to hold it, and Xiao Bai watched Jiang Yutang approach step by step with a silver needle in his hand, and shouted in a panic.
"Jiang Yutang is murdering for money! Murder, this is naked murder...... Brother, Brother Jiang, don't prick the needle, faint needle, I faint needle, I'm not crazy, I'm not stupid, you see I'm very sober...... Don't come here, I warn you, don't come! No, no, no, no!
Xiaobai rolled his eyes, looked up helplessly at Zhuang Meiyan who was standing above him, and muttered, "Lady, save me!"
Zhuang Meiyan frowned slightly, looking at his face full of pain After all, he was a little unbearable, so he said to Jiang Yutang: "Brother Jiang, look at him is afraid of being like this, will it be too exciting, listen to what he said just now, his mouth is full of nonsense, it is not his usual appearance at all, I'm afraid it's not good." ”
Xiao Bai's expression perked up when he heard this, and he quickly gloomy again, and slowly closed his eyelids.
Zhuang Meiyan looked at Jiang Yutang in disbelief, the latter was not in a hurry, his ten fingers flew over, and the needles fell like the wind, and soon the silver needles were accurately inserted in Xiaobai's chest and shoulder acupoints, and at the same time comforted Zhuang Meiyan and said: "Don't be afraid, my first needle was inserted in his sleeping acupoint, and now he is asleep." People say that 'rabbits bite when they are in a hurry', and his nonsense may also be revealed in his nature, indicating that his nature has not been lost, and he will be able to recover after a period of recuperation. ”
Zhuang Meiyan was relieved at this time.
Jiang Yutang finished the needle, washed his hands, and invited Zhuang Meiyan to sit in the back room.
"Sister Meiyan, my eldest brother wants to ask you for a favor today. Jiang Yutang got up first and made a gesture, and said with a smile.
Zhuang Meiyan was stunned for a moment, and said, "Brother Jiang, it doesn't hurt if you have anything to say." ”
