Yuan Fu Nushu

Chapter 534, Night Chat in the Tavern

While the stove was bright, the girls continued to be busy, and the teenagers also turned chopping wood into fun. They went straight to the east and went to another kitchen in Gaoxiang Guan. In the corner, Ma Wen and Wu Sitou did not carry firewood. Washing vegetables and doing what I can do, but it seems to be outside of joy.Because they have no ability to chop mad dogs, mad cows and other knife skills.

These two teenagers should have entered the dandyism according to the footsteps of their parents. One father had to learn to restrain himself after his father went into exile, and the other had to learn to restrain himself because of Luan Ying's rise. In the down days, dragons and phoenixes jumped out suddenly, which made the two teenagers feel shocked and confused, and had to deliberate on themselves, turning it into a proposition.

Brother Ying can do it, why can't I?

With this doubt, they tried to get close to Luan Ying and his confidant, they did what the teenagers did, and they were here to help.

Gao Xiang and the others were not surprised, nor did they feel that Ma Wen and Wu Si wanted to get close to people like themselves. There were two strange faces in the yard, so they naturally had to ask. One was a relative of the Luan family and the other was an old friend of the Luan family. Should help, Gao Xiang would even take the initiative to arrange work, cook dinner for the people here during the interval of serving food, and call Ma Wen Wu Si to eat.

The two thank you.

After the shift, Luan Jing began to see off the guests. Some relatives did not have cars at home, so they hired cars and sedans when they came, and Luan Jing was responsible for delivering them to their homes when they left; to the house.This way he can also hide some drinks, as the master he has to stay sober.

He was wearing a snow suit to act as a coachman. The family was really short of manpower, so the carriage was emptied, and he sent off relatives, colleagues, father-in-law and colleagues one after another. After a busy day, Yun Zhan, Gao Mingying and others were excluded from the banquet at home. Their respective subordinates, only Qinghehou and Linjianghou are left.

Yun Zhan beckoned Luan Jing to come over: "You don't have to worry about us, we are still early."

Luan Jing accompanied her with a smile: "Brother Ying said that there are 110 beds prepared at home, please feel free to eat."

Yun Zhan glanced at the main hall. After the guests left one after another, he asked the guards of the capital and the tolerance of the Criminal Ministry to move in. It was clear from this that he probably brought more than 300 guests. The screen was removed from the main hall, and 400 tables were placed without being crowded. Of the twelve people, only one of them was an official of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, who was persuaded to drink at the same table by the other eleven Kyoto guards. It seemed that the Ministry of Criminal Justice was a bit miserable today.And there are only about [-] people in total.

Just looking at this scene, Yun Zhan just smiled, and then returned to Luan Jing: "I will arrange accommodation for the rest of the people, you can look in the kitchen, who is in charge now?"

Before Luan Jing could speak, he raised his thumbs up: "The big kitchen in my house is now managed by Luo's mother in your house, and there is another kitchen that is still in charge of by a girl from the second year of high school. It's really amazing."

Gao Mingying grinned, "That's my daughter."

Yun Zhan was also not polite: "Come on, that's it, tell your parents, just rest, we're still early." He turned his eyes to the side of the wall in the main hall, which was the good wine he had just brought from home.

Luan Jing didn't dare to disobey his words, so he went out and said it to his mother's main room, Qinghehou laughed and said: "They are still happy, and they can drink a lot, we dare not compete, and we dare not go forward more to toast."

Qinghe Hou Shizi shouted: "Who wants to drink, I will come, I will come, I will accompany you,"

Mrs. Qinghehou, Cui's mother and daughter are all here, showing disdain together, Mrs. Qinghehou said: "We're going home, and we'll get rid of this drunk."

Mrs. Nanyang Hou said: "This is not possible. I have been busy all day. It is agreed that I will make some delicious dishes later. Let us thank you very much."

Mrs. Qinghe Hou said to eat it another day, and you should rest early after a day of tiredness. Mrs. Linjiang Hou also said the same, so Luan Jing sent his mother-in-law and his family, and Wu Tianxiong sent his mother and wife.

When Wu Tianxiong went out, he thought that his son had gone somewhere, and when someone was looking for him, Wu Si ran over: "I'm helping clean up, what did father ask me to do?"

Wu Tianxiong looked a little happy, but he still taught his son another lesson: "This is not considered progress, it should be considered. If you look at brother Ying, that is called progress."

Ask Wu Si to stay to help and take care of his grandfather, saying that he will come back later to pick up his grandparents and grandchildren.

The carriage of Qinghehou's mansion was reserved for Qinghehou and others to go home. Luan Jing still used his own carriage to send his mother-in-law, brother-in-law and Feng Qing back. When the carriage arrived outside the second gate of Qinghehou's mansion, Feng Qing got off the carriage. Luan Jing was awake in the north wind. He seemed to be able to see Feng Qing in the morning, but he couldn't see his nephew in the afternoon and evening. Where was she all this time?
This made him feel like the bottom of the pot when he returned. In his decades, it was the first time he saw so many guests at home, and he could meet them with every step. Didn't you want to discredit Brother Ying?
There's no reason for this, it's treasonous, the heavens won't tolerate it, and it's maddening. Luan Jing sorted out the words in his mind, and hurried home, intending to ask clearly, and settle the score with Guisheng.

It stands to reason that the people in his carriage don’t have any strength, but the more he thinks about it, the more snow makes it difficult for the carriages and horses to travel. Before he finished two streets, he stopped the carriage to catch his breath, and he heard Wu Tianxiong’s voice in the snow: " Two more dishes, "

Luan Jing thought he was hallucinating from anger, but he turned his head and saw that this was the small restaurant he and Wu Tianxiong loved to come to. Luan Jing got out of the car and opened the door. It was so cold and late at night that there was no one in the restaurant. Wu Tianxiong sat alone and drank the wine. Pour.

"How can you save my family's and drink your own?" Luan Jing laughed.

Wu Tianxiong also laughed: "I don't dare to drink at your house, for fear of losing my appearance. Your uncle doesn't dare to drink too much in the morning, and only starts to drink more at dinner. No, I will drink a few sips by myself, and I will go back to your house to pick up my father later." .”

Luan Jing said: "Come to my house to drink, why spend money yourself."

"Xiao Bixie is here, Gao Mingying is here, and the generals who guarded us in Kyoto are here. I can't drink it." Wu Tianxiong asked the shopkeeper to take a cup, and poured a cup for Luan Jing: "Come, I will celebrate your home alone. Brother Ying is both civil and military, and he is a talented person."

Luan Jing smiled and said: "You know I have nothing to do here, I can't help him, I can't teach him, I am such a capable son for nothing."

Wu Tianxiong made fun of him: "Your ability is to tease the right person. Hey, I said, Qi Shi is so pretty, I didn't mean to see her, I must see her more today, she is so pretty. Did you fall in love with her when you were born?" good?"

Luan Jing pursed his lips. He could remember who he wanted to tease back then, even if he forgot for a moment. This matter can't be brought up again. It's best if you have a bad stomach, so just change the subject: "I'll toast you too, listen It is said that you have become very popular in the yamen recently, and you have quite a few regulations."

Hehe, Wu Tianxiong didn't continue to be complacent, but let out a sigh: "Oh, do you still remember my second wife?"

Luan Jingdao: "Remember, every day I said that Ping's wife is actually a concubine. At first I was angry when I heard this, but later she disappeared. Sometimes I think about what she said and remind myself to be kind to the Qi family and brother Ying. You can’t let others slander you.”

Wu Tianxiong said: "Me too. It's been three months since she disappeared, and I'm still very angry. My husband and I are both here, but my son is a filial son. My family has never treated her badly. There is no reason for this. But one day I turned around, I see."

Luan Jing was curious: "Is this related to your advancement in the Yamen?"

"It's too relevant. Didn't she say that a flat wife is like a concubine every day? You and I say every day that you are a handyman in the yamen. There are other handymen in your yamen. The ninth-rank official position is the lowest, but in the eyes of the handyman It's a grown-up, isn't it?"

Luan Jing said oh, and his eyes became concerned.

Wu Tianxiong said: "I just figured it out. If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own politics. If you are in your position, you must seek your own politics. As a human being, you should look down on yourself first. You can't blame others for looking down on you. I, Wu Tianxiong, am My lord, I am an official, I will do what an official should do, and say what an official should say. No, the regulations that should be published are like kicking and hurting people, and they came straight to my mind , I wrote it out as soon as I got the hang of it, and I wouldn’t dare to submit it normally, but now I think I must submit it, I’m an official, and I have a share in this yamen.”

"Tall, it's really tall." Luan Jing poured wine with excitement: "Yes, this is the self-respecting status written in the book, just like we are destined to be the sons of the world when we are born,"

Wu Tianxiong took over the words: "Since I was a child, I heard my grandfather complain about the decline of the family. If I hear my father say such things again, I will break the pot and smash it, and you will do the same."

"Yes, I think the same way. Anyway, it won't be my official position to show my face. Anyway, the mansion is here, and there will definitely be an official position. If you don't eat, drink or play, what are you waiting for? You can't play when you have a yamen."

The two looked at each other: "Oh! A lot of time wasted in vain, in exchange for melancholy middle age."

Wu Tianxiong ate a glass of wine, and the conversation started again: "Look at your brother Ying, he lives like other people for one year and two years. I wondered when he was in the Mid-Autumn Festival. He didn't study for a few years. That old master, he lived a lifetime. It’s not uncommon for you to study for decades and fail to win. Your brother Ying only went to school for a few years, and went to the northwest for two years, and he won the first prize directly. The end of the basketball test every time can make your hair white."

Luan Jing smiled: "It seems that he was a late enlightenment, but in fact he knew characters early. Mrs. Qi is a reader. You are an older brother, so you won't laugh at me. Mrs. Qi is better at reading than me."

Wu Tianxiong sighed: "So, your brother Ying spent a few years in school and passed high school. In the meantime, he didn't delay going to the Northwest to learn martial arts. He passed the liberal arts exam and passed the martial arts exam. It's only been a few years. Is this kid 15 years old this year? Years old, is this all done?"

Luan Jing smiled: "Martial art was taught by the Duke Huguo before enlightenment. I learned martial arts since I was a child, and I didn't go to the Northwest to learn it. Brother Ying probably went to fight in the Northwest barracks. He was determined to be a wild man. He thought martial arts were not difficult. In the end, it all depended on the help of King Wei’s Mansion, King Li’s Mansion, and someone from Prince Xian’s Mansion, in addition to Baoguo County King’s Mansion, Jincheng County King’s Mansion and his gang of brothers.”

Wu Tianxiong raised his hand and interjected: "Gao Mingying also went to the ring and lost his official position as a minister. I really sweated for him in the past few days, but he didn't have anything to do, and now he is still a minister."

He wiped his mouth, and then he still twitched his mouth: "If you don't accept it, you can do it. If you have the ability, you will, no, worry."

After tidying up his clothes, Wu Tianxiong sat up straight: "Old Luan, look at me like this, can I still learn skills?" Luan Jing looked at it seriously, and said applaudingly: "Yes, of course I can. "

Wu Tianxiong was overjoyed: "Old Luan, you and I will compete, do you dare?"

Luan Jing smiled and said, "Father of Wen Zhuangyuan Wu Tanhua, tell me if I dare. But can you say it first? What are you going to compete with?"

Wu Tianxiong talked a little too much, and turned his head: "The champion of literature and martial arts has nothing to do with you. Your son is at the age of studying and practicing martial arts. What are you doing? You don't know how to do it."

Luan Jing of Gou also sighed: "That's right, Guisheng is my son. Brother Ying is studying, and his mother taught him to fight for family property. Brother Ying practiced martial arts, and his mother taught him to fight for family property. So you see, Brother Ying is the glory of my family, and Guisheng is the sorrow of my family."

Wu Tianxiong said: "Then you still have glory, and my family is also sad. Anyway, you and I, as fathers, set an example for them. You and I compare in official affairs to see who will be promoted first. Sending money."

Luan Jing said: "Of course I want to promise you, but it's more than official business. Seeing who handles official business is better than promotion."

Wu Tianxiong was very grateful: "Brother, you are considerate of my brother and me. You have Brother Ying. Now you are rising, and you must be promoted faster than me."

Hearing this, Luan Jing quickly looked at the wind and snow outside the door, and felt relieved when he saw the snowflakes coming in through the crack of the door, but it didn't affect him.

He didn't think that his father was more expensive than his son, but he was afraid that if he still wanted to be promoted, it would hinder Luan Ying's ability.

The dude started to think this way again, thinking that it would be best if he didn't get promoted in his life, lest the gods see his family's sudden prosperity, which would affect Brother Ying's ability.

These two ex-dandies agreed to compete fairly in official affairs, not to be promoted.

There was nothing to drink too much, Luan Jing said that all the wine today should be attributed to him, Wu Tianxiong didn't argue, the two drove their carriages back to the Nanyang Marquis Mansion, and looked at the main hall. Back off signs.

When I went to the main room to see the Marquis of Nanyang and Linjiang, I saw Luan Ying bringing his family to deliver food. Now Luan Ying and Yunlong He Jie are responsible for entertaining guests. At this time, Yunlong also came from another kitchen with vegetables. Brother Jie At this time, I was talking and joking with my sisters in the kitchen, saying that I was afraid that they would lose their cooking skills if they were sleepy.

Wu Tianxiong felt that he couldn't really envy, and he couldn't learn how to be envious. Looking up at the snowy night, the sky in Nanyang Marquis Mansion was so deep and deep that it was actually much bigger.

He murmured, "Just giving birth to such a child will make a big difference."

Marquis of Nanyang prepared wine and Marquis of Qinghe, Marquis of Linjiang and Mawei had several relatives who contributed the most. Luan Jing replied, leaving Wu Tianxiong behind, and hurried back to the study to see where Guisheng was.

Guisheng was already asleep, so Luan Jing asked his family, who said, "Master, I'm washing dishes today, Guisheng should be in the study all the time, right?"

Luan Jing's face darkened, he felt that the answer was already there and he didn't need to ask any more, Guisheng was left unattended, and the teacher who invited him also served wine at the table, and he was so drunk that he passed out at noon.Will he stay in the study well?
This is a son who does what he does, who does what he does to his grandfather, to his great-grandfather, to his great-great-grandfather.

After having a conversation with Wu Tianxiong, Luan Jing gave up the idea of ​​coming back to settle accounts with Guisheng, so he should blame himself.
