Marrying Uncle v. 16
Xie Lang: "Don't dare, uncle's immortal posture, how Brother Li is involved with ugliness, it's just too powerful, and idle women don't dare to peep." β
Li Yao spared him, and called the drunken immortal guy who was waiting outside the door to come in, and asked Cao Xun to order first.
Cao Xun: "What are the new dishes?" β
The shopkeeper bent over, his eyes were not looking at each other, and he respectfully reported a few signature dishes, and said: "A batch of seafood just arrived this morning, and it is fresh, abalone, yellow croaker, and pipa shrimp are available." β
Cao Xun has a dispensable attitude.
Li Yao said: "Three catties of pipa shrimp, one catty of boiled, two catties of stir-fried." β
The man made a note of it, and finally went to the back kitchen with a total of ten dishes, and soon brought wine and three cold dishes.
Li Yao poured three bowls of immortal drunkenness, and the rich aroma of wine instantly spread in the private room.
"Come, let's not get drunk today!"
Li Yao took the lead in holding the sea bowl dedicated to wine and saluted Cao Xun and Xie Lang.
The two naturally cooperated.
At this time, Yun Zhu looked at Cao Xun opposite, the grandfather of the country who was sitting upright, thinner than his brother, and more majestic than Xie Lang, this figure was really first-class.
He put his left hand on his lap, and held the sea bowl in his right hand, which covered half of his face, revealing a pair of handsome and straight eyebrows and long eyelashes......
The long eyelashes that drooped low lifted without warning, and a pair of gentle black eyes that concealed their determination looked straight at them.
Yun Zhu is just conceited and beautiful, her face is not thick, she can look at Cao Xun blatantly as she wants, but at this time, when the voyeur was caught, she instinctively avoided her gaze, and her cheeks were slightly hot.
As a cover-up, she picked up her chopsticks and took a thin piece of crystal.
The crystal is the fish jelly made after the carp is boiled in the soup, a thin piece of color is like jade, and the moment it is sent to the mouth, it is lined with the beauty of the cherry-colored lips delicate and moist.
There was also a young and old Li Xian next to her, and Cao Xun didn't look at it much.
Boiled pipa shrimp and stir-fried pipa shrimp are also very fast, each pipa shrimp is as long as a palm, one by one, the shrimp shell is hard and sharp, and it takes some skill to peel it.
The shopkeeper said attentively: "The little one is waiting for you to eat shrimp?" β
Yun Zhu glanced at the shopkeeper's fingers, which had been washed cleanly but had been precipitated with oil, and Li Xian had already spoken: "We'll come by ourselves." β
The shopkeeper respectfully stepped back.
Li Xian began to peel shrimp for his sister, Li Yao saw it, and while inquiring with Cao Xun about the battles at the border pass, he grabbed a boiled pipa shrimp, peeled it in three or two, and then put it in a small white porcelain bowl in front of his sister.
Yunzhu enjoyed the care of her brother and brother with peace of mind, and she would take care of her brother in the early years, but now her brother is about the same height as her, and he gradually acts like her brother.
Xie Lang saw it and helped peel one.
Yunzhu was polite to him: "You can eat it yourself, I can't eat so much." β
Xie Lang: "Anyway, I'm already dirty with my hands, let's peel them off in one go." β
He not only took care of Yunzhu, but also put two or three in Cao Xun's bowl.
Cao Xun thanked him, and when he saw that these people were all immersed in peeling shrimp, he was also a little interested, and picked up a stir-fried plate, which was obviously ordered by Li Yao specifically for his sister.
Yunzhu lowered her eyes to eat shrimp, but in fact, her eyes fell to the opposite side.
With that height, Cao Xun has a pair of big long hands like his elder brother, but his hands are as delicate as his father, and he looks like a literati at first glance.
Yun Zhu was secretly admiring, and suddenly noticed that Cao Xun's movements paused for a moment, and a little bead of blood appeared on the side of his slender index finger, which he quickly covered up.
Yunzhu bit his lip and couldn't help laughing, Grandpa Guo, who led the troops to fight so well, probably peeled the pipa shrimp for the first time, and his hands were clumsy and pricked.
Yunzhu also found that after peeling this Cao Xun, he went to the washstand prepared by the private room to wash his hands, and never peeled it again.
Three grown men spend more time fighting together.
The Yunzhu sisters and brothers were full, Li Yao and the three of them didn't move their chopsticks much, and the immortal drunk had already opened the second altar.
Having heard of the military attachΓ©s' virtue of eating and drinking, Yunzhu didn't plan to continue to stay here as a spectator, so she said to Li Yao while Cao Xun and Xie Lang went to the clean room: "Brother, you accompany Grandpa Guo and Brother Xie to drink slowly, I'm a little sleepy, so I'll go back to the house first." β
Li Yao nodded and instructed his younger brother: "You don't drink, let's go together." β
Li Xian: "I'll send my sister to the carriage and come up later." β
It's okay for my sister to go first, it's not good for him to be rude in front of Cao Xun.
Li Yao knew that this younger brother had his own exquisiteness, so he didn't care about it.
Yun Zhu took his younger brother out of the private room, walked halfway along the long corridor, and at the staircase in front, Cao Xun came up, wearing a cloud blue brocade robe, noble and graceful, and his majestic and upright figure suddenly made the corridor that could accommodate two people appear narrow.
There were just two of them in the hallway, and Yun Zhu could feel Cao Xun's gaze lingering on her face.
When they were four or five steps apart, Li Xian bowed and explained to Cao Xun: "My sister is sleepy, I will send her downstairs." β
Cao Xun: "Hmm. β
He looked at Yunzhu.
Yun Zhu glanced at him lightly and walked forward without hesitation.
Cao Xun also continued to walk in the direction of the private room, and when he stood outside the door of the private room, he paused, and still tilted his head towards the staircase.
When Xie Lang came back, he found that only the Li family brothers were accompanying Cao Xun, and he couldn't hide his loss for a while: "Yunzhu is gone?" β
Li Yao narrowed his eyes slightly: "What, you are very reluctant?" β
This kid peeled so many shrimp for his sister, and he was also distracted to talk to his sister when he was drinking, Li Yao was not in a hurry to marry a wife, but he was very keen on the ambition of others to arch their own cabbage.
Li Xian frowned, his brother and Xie Lang were small, and it was harmless to cover their mouths, but there was also a not very familiar Dingguo Gong present.
Xie Lang was also afraid that Cao Xun would misunderstand something and ruin Yunzhu's reputation, so he hurriedly explained: "Brother Li said that he laughed, I treat Yunzhu as my sister." β
Li Yao snorted heavily: "Don't come with me, you really like Yunzhu, even if you go to please her, as long as she agrees, I won't object." β
There are so many young talents in the capital, and in terms of family background and appearance, Xie Lang is only a little worse than Cao Shao, and he is barely worthy of his sister.
Xie Lang was stunned, and surprise welled up in his heart.
Li Xian kicked his brother from under the table.
Li Yao glared at his younger brother, turned to Cao Xun and said, "I'm a straightforward person, and I can say whatever comes to mind, but don't get me wrong, my sister's vision is very high, and it is not certain whether Xie Lang can coax her to please her." β
Cao Xun smiled: "You young people are casual, don't care about me." β
Li Yao's face darkened: "Do you really want me to call you uncle?" β
Cao Xun: "It was you who first regarded me as an elder who adhered to etiquette, so I said this." β
Xie Lang laughed, Li Yao snorted, glared at Cao Xun and said, "If Grandpa Guo really wants to be our peers, then he has to be scolded by me first." β
Cao Xun: "Why are you scolding me?" β
Li Yao: "It's not to scold you, it's to scold your Cao family for not doing personnel......
Li Xian interrupted him with a straight face: "Big brother, my sister doesn't mind anymore, why do you mention those old things again?" What's more, Grandpa Guo has been guarding the border before, and the affairs of the capital have nothing to do with him. β
Cao Xun waved his hand and signaled that the brothers didn't have to quarrel: "I understand what you mean, the Cao family is indeed at fault, I have already made amends to Lingzun Lingtang, if you are still dissatisfied, I will find a way to make up for it." β
Li Yao clenched the wine bowl tightly: "I don't need to make up for it, I just hold my breath in my heart, I ......"
Li Xian kicked him again.
Li Yao poured the wine hatefully.
.
Yunzhu didn't know what "good deeds" her brother had done after she left, so after returning home to rest for a while, she went to her mother to share interesting stories.
"Mother, Gu Min first defended her brother, and then sent her brother Hongqi, you said, will she fall in love with her brother?"
Meng didn't dare to dream of a daughter-in-law like Gu Min: "No, I didn't hear that she had a bad eye when she read a book." β
Yunzhu: "...... Have you hurt your own son like this? Brother, he's just too strong, but he's not ugly at all. β
Meng: "Ugly or not, his temper doesn't appeal to little girls, anyway, he's not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry, but you, go to see polo today, who do you like?" β
Cao Xun's dark eyes suddenly glanced at him when he was drinking, and Yun Zhu wrapped his hair around and said proudly: "There is one, I won't tell you first." β
Meng Shi will guess: "Xie Lang? β
Yunzhu: "Not really. β
She knew that Xie Lang was interesting to her, but Xie Lang was inferior to Cao Shao in all aspects, he was also very boring, and he couldn't say witty things to make people happy.
She just wants to marry the best.
The hook has been thrown, Yunzhu can wait patiently for Cao Xun's reaction, the old man knows her relationship with Cao Shao, and dares to take her eyes, it should also be intentional.
"Mother, I want to ask Gu Min to go to enjoy the spring together, and try to test her meaning, maybe I can really help you get a good daughter-in-law back."
"It's okay to tempt, don't offend people, maybe she just took pity on your brother's silk."
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid."
Dingguo Mansion.
Cao Xun returned home half an hour later than Yunzhu, and he was drunk, this was still his feigned drunkenness, and Li Yao was willing to let him go.
It's not that he really doesn't drink as much as Li Yao, but he doesn't feel the need to drink so much, and it has nothing to do with age, and he won't compete for the limelight in this kind of thing when he is twenty years old.
After bathing and changing clothes, and resting for two quarters of an hour, Cao Xun got up and moved to the study to read.
Now he is still on leave, and he has taken up his post again in early April.
At dusk, Pan came to the main courtyard.
From the first day Cao Xun returned to Beijing and changed the head of the Guogong Mansion, Pan knew that Cao Xun would not pretend to be a filial son in front of her, and she didn't want to put on the prestige of Mrs. Tai in front of Cao Xun, fortunately, Cao Xun was still jealous of the daughter and the prince in the palace, and was willing to maintain a superficial harmony with her, rather than not saving her face at all.
"I've kept my mother waiting."
Cao Xun came to the hall and greeted with a light smile.
Pan nodded, his eyes quickly swept Cao Xun from head to toe, I have to say that in addition to being older, Cao Xun is indeed better than his son.
"Listen to Brother Shao, on the polo field today, you got the most red silk from the girl?" Pan asked in a mocking tone.
Cao Xun put his right hand on the armrest of the seat, played with the jade pendant on his waist with his left hand, and said humbly: "A group of little girls, seeing that our team won, thought that I had the best ball skills, but in fact, it was not. β
Pan Shi smiled: "You don't understand the thoughts of your daughter's family, they are obviously people who like you, so they gave you the tapestry." How about it, there are so many ladies, do you have a heartbeat? β
Cao Xun: "I didn't pay much attention to it. β
Pan: "You better pay more attention, don't say your age, Brother Shao'er is only twenty-one, I have already found a candidate for him, just wait for your marriage to be decided, I will send a matchmaker to propose marriage." β
