Chapter 51: A Confusing Family Feast
"The little nephew has seen the second aunt!"
"The younger brother has seen the two elder brothers...... Uh, and the big sister! ”
Liu Chan, who followed the second master home, looked at the neat family of the second master in front of the hall, and suddenly couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
You must know that Guan Xing and Guan Feng's brother and sister are at home, after all, the two are underage. But Guan Ping has a position in the army, and with the strictness of the second master, it is impossible for him to run home for no reason without a major event.
And what made him even more puzzled was that from the moment he entered the door, from the second aunt of the Hu family to the two brothers of Guan Ping and Guan Xing, they all looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze as if they were observing something.
And even the 'eldest sister' who is one year older than him, Guan Feng, who is called the tiger girl by the second master in the 'original work', is no exception, and she is secretly looking at herself from time to time at this moment.
"Uh, that, second aunt, what is today? The little nephew followed the second uncle empty-handed, and he didn't prepare any gifts......
Looking at the posture of the family in front of him, Liu Chan, who thought that today was a special day, suddenly couldn't help but cast a look of help to Hu's second aunt with an embarrassed face.
"Hehe, Adou Mo has to think about it. It's just that I haven't seen you for a long time, and your brother happened to come back, so I asked your second uncle to call you over for a light meal......"
Looking at his embarrassed appearance, Hu Shi dissipated that 'scrutinizing' gaze with a smile on his face and led him into the hall.
……
"Second uncle and second aunt, little nephew respects your second elder!"
Soon, after sprinkling vegetables on the maids and servants, regardless of the doubts in his heart, Liu Chan hurriedly picked up a glass of rice wine and got up to toast the second master and the Hu family.
"Adou doesn't have to be restrained, it's all a family, so don't have so many rules, let's move it!"
Seeing Liu Chan get up to toast, after drinking all the wine in one gulp, the second master with a smile on his face was not as serious as when he was outside.
"Hehe, your second uncle is right, they are all a family, what kind of hypocrisy do you talk about. Adou see if today's food is to your liking, you are alone in Jingzhou, and there is no one to take care of. In the future, come to the house more often, and the second aunt will cook more good food for you......"
After also drinking the wine in the cup, Hu Shi also looked at him with a smile.
"The food prepared by the second aunt is full of color and fragrance, and the little nephew will definitely come to eat in the future, hehe......"
Looking at the fragrant and attractive dishes and foods on the table in front of him, Liu Chan hurriedly responded with the full mouth of the snake and stick.
Speaking of which, because of the brewing of sorghum wine before, the iron pot, which originally did not appear until the two Jin and Southern Dynasties, was 'invented' by Liu Chan hundreds of years in advance.
Not only that, but by the way, stir-fried dishes, which became popular even after thousands of years, have now become popular in the upper echelons of Jingzhou in advance.
Moreover, the dishes of the second master's family, including stir-fried vegetables, are indeed very delicious, so of course Liu Chan will not miss the blessing of this tooth sacrifice.
"Haha, my brother is also a dignified man, how can he drink such a weak drink. Why don't you change to this wine? ”
Just when Liu Chan had just sat down and eaten a few bites of food, he saw that the residual wine in his wine cup was actually rice wine, but Guan Ping, who was seated on the side, got up and walked over to him with a pot of sorghum wine.
"Brother, the younger brother is too young to drink......
Seeing the sorghum wine in Guan Ping's hand, Liu Chan suddenly shook his head in fright.
Just kidding, although he has the soul of an adult person, this body is still a minor under the age of ten after all.
A glass of rice wine just now had already made him a little dizzy, how dare he touch such a thing as sorghum wine again!
"Haha, the eldest brother is right, only the spirits are matched with the husband. Besides, this wine is a sister...... Brother, how can you ...... what you make?"
Just when Liu Chan was still avoiding Guan Ping's wine, Guan Xing, a minor on the other side, also walked over to him with a pot of sorghum wine, and poured it into his wine cup.
"Second uncle and second aunt, the little nephew really can't drink it!"
Looking at the full sorghum wine in front of him, Liu Chan, whose scalp was numb, could only ask the second master and his wife for help.
"Don't look at the second uncle, this is a matter for you young people, hahahaha......"
However, what Liu Chan didn't expect was that in the face of his request for help, the second master put on an attitude of staying out of the matter and watching the excitement.
"Didn't we just not promise you to send troops to the Northern Expedition now, and you don't need to retaliate against me like this, right?" Anyway, we're your nephew and boss! ’
Seeing the expression of the second master, Liu Chan's heart suddenly became cold.
"I said two brothers, the younger brother ......"
Seeing that the second master and his wife didn't care, Liu Chan had no choice but to turn his head and look at Guan Ping and Guan Xing's brothers again.
"Big brother and second brother! You, Zen disciples are still young, how can you be so ......?"
Just when Liu Chan was still tingling with his scalp for the high wine in front of him, with a crisp coquettish sound, Guan Feng, who had not spoken before, opened his mouth to relieve him at this time.
"Ah, thank you eldest sister, it's still the eldest sister who is sensible! It's not that the younger brother deliberately didn't give face to the two brothers, it's really that the wine is too strong. If you drink it to minors, it will hurt your body too much......"
Seeing that someone was relieved, Liu Chan hurriedly explained to Guan Feng with a grateful face.
"Little sister, what are you...... Hahahaha! ”
"That's not all...... Hey hey ......"
Just as Liu Chan was trying to explain to the eldest sister who was called the 'Tiger Girl' by the second master, the two brothers Guan Ping and Guan Xing couldn't help but laugh playfully at this moment.
It's just that Liu Chan, who never thought that he would have anything to do with this 'tiger girl', didn't notice the meaningful meaning in the laughter of the two brothers. At this moment, he is still there to explain the disadvantages of this underage drinking.
"Second uncle, two brothers, when Adou becomes an adult, I will make up this wine again, accompany you to have a good drink, and ......rest when you get drunk."
In the end, in order to escape the 'poisoning' of today's high-grade wine, and at the same time to prove that he is not unable to drink, Liu Chan made a promise to 'repay' this wine when he becomes an adult in the future.
"For the sake of the little sister's face, then it's decided, wait for him to ...... Hahahaha! ”
was stopped by Guan Feng like this, coupled with Liu Chan's promise, Guan Ping and Guan Xing, who had a playful smile on their faces, also went down the slope to spare him this time.
But what he didn't know was how much he would regret his promise when the two brothers came to him to 'return' the drink.
In addition, although this high alcohol has escaped today, it still makes him drunk later, which he thinks is nothing more than the equivalent of 'mash juice'.
"What does Feng'er think, if so...... As a father, I'll reply to your uncle, haha......"
In a daze, Liu Chan, who was helped to rest by the two brothers Guan Ping and Guan Xing, heard the hearty laughter of the second master in his ears!
