Chapter X. The old friends feasted and enjoyed the wine, and the two young people accidentally bumped into the hard-working people
When everyone returned to the back hall, the people had already set up tables and stools, and stood in two rows on the left and right, waiting for the master to return.
After the battle just now, Li Yu had exhausted all the food he had eaten in the morning. ran towards the dining table, and as soon as he ran two steps, he was dragged up by Ouyang Lan and said, "I don't understand the rules at all, your uncle and aunt haven't sat down yet." ”
"Mother, don't you never pay attention to these rules?"
"At home, it's casual. But we're at your aunt's house now. ”
"But yesterday at the inn, you still said... Li Yu was a little puzzled, he quarreled with Erniang yesterday because of this matter, and even took out the dagger.
"Shut up. Follow your mother, don't mess around. "Ouyang Lan is not ignorant of etiquette, it's just that she doesn't like to get along with people with a shelf, and she doesn't think that she should be superior to her subordinates. In your own home, you can set your own rules. Nowadays, when you go out and visit relatives and friends, you can't be too casual. The son is still young, and now he tells him this, he doesn't understand, so let him follow him honestly.
When Liu Zhan and Yun Kai took their seats, everyone sat down one after another. Jian Xin and Hanfeng, like the other subordinates, stood aside and waited.
Liu Zhan said: "Jian Xin, Hanfeng, you two should sit too." We are all old acquaintances, and we are all our own people. ”
"Okay." The two returned in unison and sat down together.
After Yun Kai said "serve", the people brought up the wine and food one after another.
Looking at the steaming meal on this table, Han Ji said, "En." It's very exciting. Then he picked up the flask and poured himself wine.
"Old Han, you are not blind at all."
"Brother Liu, they are all from their own family, what are the eyes? It's rare that everyone is here today, hurry up and grab the wine glass and get started! I'll do it first! Then, Han Ji drank all the wine in the wine glass.
Han Ji's alley, the atmosphere has also eased a little. "Good!" Liu Zhan, Li Zhentian, and Zhao Shu also picked up their cups and drank them. However, Yunkai and Ouyang Lan were drinking tea.
"Two brothers and sisters, you two drink too. When was the last time we met? Han Ji thought for a while and said, "It's when Sister Ouyang gave birth to Yu'er. At that time, the princess, you were still pregnant with Yue'er, so you didn't drink it. Later, when you gave birth to Yue'er, princess, Ouyang Meizi was still confined at home and didn't come. This time, I can catch the two of you. Drink it up! Hanfeng, Jianxin, can serve your family well. ”
"That's a must!" Hanfeng followed Han Ji's words and replied. Then he replaced Yunkai's teacup with a wine glass and poured wine for Yunkai.
Yun Kai looked at the wine that Hanfeng brought to him, and scolded with a smile: "You girl, how can your elbow turn out!" I haven't married yet! ”
Jian Xin silently handed over the wine and looked at Ouyang Lan with ill will.
Ouyang Lan is not good at stubble, she got up arrogantly, picked up the wine glass and said, "Drink!" Must drink! It's been a long time since you've seen each other. However, these two maids don't want to run. After drinking the wine, he grabbed Jian Xin's arm, "Pour the wine." Pour it on yourself. And that silly girl! Then he stretched out his hand and pointed at Hanfeng.
"This minx is going crazy again!"
"Less nonsense! Pour the wine, drink! ”
The atmosphere at the dinner table was immediately lively. Yunkai originally wanted to refuse, but he couldn't refuse at all, and he drank with everyone.
The adults laughed, but the children seemed much quieter.
Li Longzhan, who was a little older, was eating while watching the adults play, and he actually longed for this life when he grew up.
Li Yu was eating with a big gulp of vegetables, looking at other people from time to time. Then I saw that Xiaoyue on the other side was almost the same as herself, and she was also eating in a big gulp. Coincidentally, at this time, Xiaoyue also looked up and saw Li Yu. You look at me, I look at you, and then you don't say anything, and continue to bow your head and cook. Zhitian, who was on Xiaoyue's side, was eating slowly and methodically, which was in stark contrast to her sister Xiaoyue.
Ouyang Lan was a little drunk and said: "You can see from eating in the sky that she is stable and temperamental. ”
Yun Kai responded: "It's not good. It's not good, boys should still be more energetic. Look at Yu'er, how lively and cute! Tian'er should change with his sister! His sister doesn't look like a little girl at all! The leather is very! ”
As soon as she said this, Xiaoyue was reluctant. "Mother, what's wrong with me?"
"It's okay, it's okay. Listen to your aunt, you just have to eat and eat to your heart's content. Leave your mother alone. Hey. ”
The children were already full, and they left the table and drank the sugar water prepared by the people. Children can't stay idle, especially when they are full and drunk, they want to come out and play.
The adults continued to drink and chat. Li Zhentian waved his hand at Long Zhan, and Long Zhan walked over. Li Zhentian said: "Dad and your aunt may have to stay for a while, you take your younger brother back to the inn first." Then, he took some silver taels from his bosom and gave them to Long Zhan, "You two brothers, find a sedan chair and go back." "This is the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, I think it is still orderly and stable, and no one will embarrass the two children. What's more, the inn is not far from the Horse Mansion, and the two children of themselves also know some martial arts, so they should be fine. Li Zhentian thought so.
Li Longzhan nodded, got up and said, "Uncle, aunt, Uncle Han, I'll go back with my younger brother first." Eat and drink well. ”
Yun Kai said, "Let's play a little longer." If you are tired, I will arrange a room for you, and you will go and rest. ”
"It's okay, aunt, my brother and I will find a sedan chair and go back. And the inn is not far from here. ”
"How's that going to work! Come on, get ready for the carriage! Send the two young masters back! ”
"Yes!" A subordinate answered.
"No need for my aunt, my brother and I can go back."
"How's that going to work! Since you're here with your uncle and aunt, I have to let you go back safely. Don't worry, no one dares to make trouble in the carriage of my Horse Mansion. Yun Kai said seriously.
"This..."
Li Zhentian said: "Then thank you princess." Long Zhan, you can go back in a carriage in a while. If you see something fun or delicious on the road, you brothers can buy some. Also, be careful when you're out there. ”
"Good!" Li Longzhan agreed.
The two brothers went to the door, got into the carriage, and walked in the direction of the inn. Li Yu is a curious baby, opened the curtain on the carriage, looked at the lively capital, was very happy, and pointed it out to his brother from time to time.
When the carriage passed by the door of a pastry shop, Li Yu said, "Big brother, let's get off the bus and buy some pastries!" ”
"Didn't you just get full?"
Li Yu stuck out his tongue and smiled. It's not that Li Yu hasn't eaten enough, children are greedy, and when they see something delicious, they have to have some more if they don't eat it.
Li Longzhan said to the coachman, "Stop. Let's buy something. ”
"Good!" The coachman answered, and then stopped the carriage.
Li Longzhan took Li Yu into the pastry shop, today is not a festival, and there are not many people inside. Li Yu asked for a mung bean cake, and the guy wrapped it in brown paper and handed it to Li Yu. Li Longzhan said: "Brother, look at what else you want." ”
Li Yu took the mung bean cake and said, "Okay, I'll take a look." He casually pointed to two more, and ran out of the door happily with his head down and eating pastries. Ah! Li Yu looked at a few mung bean cakes that fell on the ground, and said angrily: "How do you walk, don't look at people!" ”
The girl was about ten years old, wearing light blue clothes, and her trouser legs were obviously lengthened with some fabric, and her figure was thin, half a head taller than Fan Yu. I'm sorry! ”
Li Yu was not angry because he bumped into someone, he just looked at the mung bean cakes on the ground, and felt a little distressed, so he said, "I can't eat these mung bean cakes!" You pay me for my mung bean cake! When the girl heard that she was going to lose money, her eyes were filled with tears, and she bowed again and again and said "I'm sorry."
When Long Zhan heard his brother's voice, he hurriedly came over to take a look, and when he saw this situation, he asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Li Yu said confidently: "She bumped into me, and my mung bean cakes also fell to the ground." ”
Long Zhan looked up and down, looking at the girl's weak figure, her sallow face did not improve, obviously she hadn't eaten much recently. Although Li Yu is smaller than others, he has been practicing martial arts with his father and Zhao Shu since he was a child, how could he be bumped into by a girl! So he asked, "Brother, did you bump into someone's house?" ”
Li Yu was said like this, and when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that he really didn't look at the road and bumped into others, but he didn't want to admit it, so he still stubbornly said: "It's her... Bump me! ”
Long Zhan asked the girl, "Girl, what's the matter?" ”
The girl bowed and said, "I'm sorry I'm getting in the way of others here!" I'm sorry! ”
Long Zhan looked at this girl and said, "It's okay." Did you just walk around, I asked? ”
The girl shook her head and said slowly, "I just... Wait for someone here. ”
Long Zhan said, "You are waiting for someone here, you are not moving, are you?" ”
The girl nodded, and after Long Zhan looked at it, he said to the girl, "Okay, it's nothing." ”
Li Yu still said: "She hit me." Let her pay me for my mung bean cake. ”
"Okay, brother, it's just a few pieces of mung bean cake, brother can buy it for you. What kind of competition with a girl. Besides, it's not like this girl bumped into you. If the second young master of your dignified Yinlong Villa lies for a few pieces of mung bean cake, he will not have the demeanor of a manly man at all. ”
When Li Yu was said like this, he was unreasonable for a while, so he said angrily: "Count me unlucky." Then he pouted and walked back to the carriage.
At this moment, a woman in her thirties, also dressed in a light blue shirt, and a young man of twenty-five or sixteen came together, and saw the woman with a sad face, and did not know what to say to the man.
Walking to the girl's side, seeing this situation, he hurriedly walked over, and asked Li Longzhan: "This young master, is the woman's little daughter doing something to offend you?" ”
Long Zhan said, "It's okay. My brother accidentally bumped into your girl, sorry. ”
When the woman heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's all right." My girl's life is hard, and she may be in the way of the young master. I'm so sorry. ”
Long Zhan said: "Where are the words! It was not my brother's, and these silver were not respectful. Show your child if he's hurt. So saying, he took some pieces of silver, about five or six taels, and gave them to the woman.
Li Yu saw it in the carriage and said, "Brother, why did you give them money?!" ”
"It's fine. You don't have to worry about it. ”
The woman said, "This young master is serious, but he just bumped into it, as long as the child is okay." He pushed back Long Zhan's hand that was holding the money.
Jian Xin insisted on giving it to this woman, but the woman refused to accept it. The guy on the side said impatiently: "Give it to you, just take it!" If you don't want it, give it to me! It's my errand fee. The woman sighed at this, took the taels, bowed, and said, "Thank you." The young man said, "Go quickly, and don't make the family wait." ”
The woman did not speak, but said to the girl, "Xiaolan, let's go." Xiaolan squatted down and picked up a few pieces of osmanthus cakes that had fallen on the ground, and said to Long Zhan: "This? You don't want it, do you? ”
Long Zhan said, "Don't do it! ”
Xiaolan nodded, took out a cloth, wrapped these pieces of mung bean cake, and put them in her arms. The woman smiled embarrassedly and took the little orchid away.
Just as Long Zhan was about to get up and get into the carriage, a voice came from behind him.
"Long Zhan, why are you here?"
