The wine bowl was set, the wine was poured, Ping'er was called down by Aunt Wu to eat again, and the three old and young people in the main room also started to move chopsticks. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Meng Jinghong's eyes were not good, and Han Bing put the dishes he liked to eat on weekdays in front of him as much as possible.
Although Song Qingfeng was hungry, he smelled the aroma of the bowl of willow leaves and snow, and couldn't help but be aroused by the wine worm, and said in his heart, no wonder Han Bing had to ask for this wine to drink, this wine is indeed a rare wine! He raised his eyes to look at Han Bing, who was sitting opposite, but found that he was in a daze at the bowl of wine in front of him.
Looking at the slightly pale blue elixir in the bowl, Han Bing seemed to faintly see a vague shadow, was that his mother's back? In his mind, the memory of his mother was almost blank, even if there were two portraits of his mother in the flower mansion, they were both backs. However, deep in his heart, he can always feel a warm existence, in every night when he is tortured by the Endless Pill, in that long period of cocooning when his senses are lost and life is worse than death, it seems that there is always a pair of hands around him who are gently soothing him and relieving the pain in his body and heart......
Finally, he slowly picked up the bowl of wine, closed his eyes slightly, and wanted to carefully taste the bowl of willow leaf snow brewed by his mother.
"Who said this bowl of wine is for you?!" A pair of chopsticks suddenly hit the edge of the bowl, and Meng Jinghong's words were like a thunderclap, and suddenly shook the cold ice to the arm, and almost dropped the wine bowl in his hand to the ground.
"Meng Lao-, you want to punish me, and let me even taste it first!" Han Bing looked at Meng Jinghong with a bitter face, almost pleading.
Meng Jinghong shook his head mercilessly and said, "Don't drink a sip!"
Seeing that this old man's attitude was so resolute, Han Bing couldn't help but panic completely, and begged for mercy again and again: "Old Meng, I was wrong! I shouldn't have messed with that Yan Xingbao! You will spare me this time today! I promise that from now on, everything will be listened to you! Absolutely everything will be listened to you!"
"Are you serious?" Although Meng Jinghong still had a straight face, his tone had been greatly softened, and it seemed that there was still room for negotiation.
Seeing this, Han Bing immediately raised his hand and swore: "Absolutely serious!"
"Your stinky boy's guarantee is worthless!" Meng Jinghong suddenly put on an unfooled appearance, and after coughing heavily, Fang put forward his own conditions, "Let's not talk about the future for the time being, I only have one thing for you to do today, if you can do it, this willow leaf snow can be drunk as you want!"
Han Bing blinked violently, and a feeling of being deceived suddenly arose in his heart......
No wonder as the saying goes, "People are old and good, horses are old and slippery"! I wanted to use Song Qingfeng's identity to come here to cheat and cheat, but I didn't expect to be put on a show by this old man Meng! The matter has come to this point, if you don't want to admit it, you won't be able to drink the fine wine brewed by your mother.
"What does Elder Meng have to say, even if he speaks well, even if there is no willow leaf snow, how dare Han Bing not do his best?" Although the words were beautiful, Han Bing's heart felt a bitterness.
Meng Jinghong finally nodded with satisfaction, and put back the pair of chopsticks that had been on the cold ice wine bowl.
"It's not that hard, and I'm doing it mainly for you. ”
Hearing this somewhat soothing opening sentence, Han Bing couldn't help grinning, knowing that he was in a catastrophe this time!
"I originally promised you to sing a play "Queqiao Club" on stage recently, but this play is not to be sung in Boss Zheng's theater, but to be sung in the mansion of an adult in Beijing. You must have heard of the name of this adult, he is the former official of the Ministry of Shangshu Su Su asked Qiu Su Gong. March 24 is Mrs. Su's 60th birthday, and the birthday banquet should have been sung with some festive plays, but Mrs. Su loves to listen to Hui opera, and loves to listen to this "Queqiao Meeting" the most, and Duke Su is very fond of his wife, so he made an appointment with the troupe as early as a year ago and ordered this "Queqiao Meeting". ”
Speaking of this, Meng Jinghong's expression couldn't help but darken, "But now that Qiu Niang has an accident, no one can sing the Seven Fairies, and this "Queqiao Meeting" will not be able to be performed." If it were someone else, even if I paid more money, I would have to break this contract.
But Su Gong is no one else, he is the life-saving benefactor of the old man's family! When he was approached by the enemy, his son and daughter-in-law fought to the death, and let me protect their children to escape. The two children were young and couldn't run, and they were about to be chased by the enemy, but they happened to encounter the carriage of Su Gong returning to his hometown. When he saw that the two children were injured, he didn't ask anything, so he let the three of us hide in his car, and then escaped the pursuit of the enemy.
Later, Su Gong also invited a doctor to treat the injuries of the two children, and left us in his house to recuperate. When he returned to Beijing, our ancestors and grandchildren also came to Jingyang with him, and since then they have settled down and formed this Meng family opera troupe.
However, I have never had a chance to repay Su Gong's life-saving kindness in the past. Now that Duke Su is going to hold a birthday banquet for his wife, and he wants to listen to the "Queqiao Meeting" of our Meng family opera troupe, I-how can I say the word 'no'?!"
At this time, Han Bing had already put down the wine bowl in his hand, and had been sitting there listening silently, but he didn't hear the intention of Old Man Meng's words at all. Regarding the fact that Su Gong saved the Meng family, he had heard his uncle Haoxing Mingrui talk about it, so he made the original plan - he learned to sing Hui opera from Meng Jinghong, and then summoned him to sing in the mansion in the name of Mrs. Su's birthday. As Su Gong's son-in-law, Leng Yiqing naturally wants to go to celebrate his birthday, and then Su Gong will create an opportunity for their father and son to recognize each other.
Although the plan was completely disrupted because of Yan Xingbao, Hui Opera had already been learned, and Han Bing had a respect for this old man Meng from the bottom of his heart, and an apology for Meng Qiuniang, plus he was still thinking about the two altars of willow leaf snow that had special meaning to him, so he still often ran to the Meng family opera troupe. Today, he even brought in Song Qingfeng, who had been identified as his future friend and comrade-in-arms, which shows the inseparable feelings he has here.
However, feelings belong to feelings, and rectification is another matter. Today, Old Man Meng clearly has made a set and is waiting for him to drill, how can he let him go easily? But the matter of singing opera is indeed unthinkable, Qiu Niang was injured and could not go on stage, and the little girls in the opera troupe who were still learning opera were too young to sing the Seven Fairies. No matter how many ghost ideas he has, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and he really can't help much.
Since it is no longer conceivable, what is the intention of Old Man Meng to perform such a play so painstakingly?
The more he couldn't figure it out, the more uneasy Han Bing's heart became, and his intuition told him that he was afraid that he was going to be in big trouble this time!
