After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat
Chapter 779 Drunk Chapter
Chapter 779 Drunk Talk
Jin Jiashu, realizing that he had made a mistake, tried to find an opportunity to be alone with Haitang that night.
Even if they can't be alone together, it's good for the two of them to meet and talk and joke together.
However, the private room tonight was reserved by Wu Ke, who was the host. He was originally a descendant of a scholarly family in the capital, and was raised in the palace. He also lived in the Cheng'en Marquis's mansion for a long time. He was very polite and had strict rules since he was a child. His behavior was different from the customs in Chang'an. He attached great importance to the separation of men and women. Not only did he reserve a private room for men and women, but he also reserved a room for men and women, and did not allow them to sit together. During the lantern viewing period, he would only invite male friends to go out together, and leave all the female guests to his cousin Wu Qiong, not giving the boys and girls a chance to get along with each other to avoid any problems.
So, even if Jin Jiashu wanted to invite Haitang to go downstairs to watch the lights, he couldn't say it in front of so many men of the same age.
He had no choice but to be patient and take good care of the little stone first, so that Sister Hai would know that he was a steady, meticulous and thoughtful person, absolutely trustworthy!
Haitang didn't know how Jin Jiashu was doing in the private room next door, so she just happily chatted with her girlfriends. They had tea and snacks, chatted, looked at the colorful lights on the street through the window, and sent people to buy the best ones they liked. Some people even sent people to buy some folk snacks from street stalls that they had never eaten before. The girls who grew up in luxury gathered around the snacks curiously, trying to taste them.
After tasting it, some people thought it was good, some thought it was just average, and some thought it was rough and unbearable and dared not touch it again. Everyone talked and laughed, and it was quite joyful.
As the second watch approached, each mansion sent people to take their young masters and young ladies back home. Haitang said goodbye to the Zhou sisters and went downstairs with the maid to meet Zhou Xiaojian and Putao who were waiting downstairs.
Jin Jiashu had already been waiting outside the door with Xiao Shitou and Guard Lin.
They came together, and left together. There were fewer people on the road, but it was still very busy. They walked along the street. Although it was not as crowded as when they came, they did not dare to walk too far away, for fear of being squeezed away by other passers-by.
Jin Jiashu then found an opportunity and walked back to Haitang, with only a small stone between them.
When Little Shitou saw him approaching, he turned around and looked at him with an expression of disgust, and made a "tsk" sound, but didn't say anything.
He was quite close to Jin Jiashu, and they had always had a good relationship. Tonight, he had received a lot of care from him, so he was not an ungrateful person. But his sister was so kind, and someone came so shamelessly. Could he still greet her with a smile? He didn't push the person away, which showed that he was really kind to his neighbor, Brother Jin.
But that was it, he couldn't just walk away. It wasn't like he hadn't given Jin Jiashu a chance tonight, but Brother Jin was useless! If he wanted to, why didn't he just come and ask for marriage? ! The Jin family only had one master left, and there were no parents to hinder him, and the difference between the two families was not much. The two elders of the Hai family liked Jin Jiashu so much, Jin Jiashu only needed to ask, and the deal would be done 80% of the time. He could just ask for marriage, why was he always so sneaky?
Little Stone glanced at Jin Jiashu with dissatisfaction.
Jin Jiashu could only smile bitterly. He knew what Xiao Shitou disliked about him, but there were some things he couldn't do just because he wanted to. He didn't care about fame and fortune, but he didn't want the Hai family to be blamed, so he had to seek forgiveness from the "aunt" in the palace first.
Of course, before he went to fight for this matter, he also wanted to ask Sister Hai for a definite answer. If she had no interest in him, or did not want to cause dissatisfaction among the nobles in the palace, then he naturally had no reason to force her...
Jin Jiashu looked at Haitang hesitantly, wanting to ask her a question, but he was afraid that others would hear him because there were so many people around. Should he choose another time to ask her this question when they could be alone together?
Or let's talk about it tomorrow...
Jin Jiashu was about to say something but stopped himself when he saw Zhou Xiaojian beside him talking affectionately and in a low voice with Grape, and buying all kinds of snacks and gadgets for his wife to make her happy, but no one blamed him for anything. He just felt extremely envious.
When will he be able to hold Sister Hai’s hand and walk on the street openly like this?
Seeing Jin Jiashu looking at her from time to time, as if he wanted to say something to her, but couldn't utter a word for a long time, Haitang couldn't help but sneer: "Brother Jin, what are you doing? If you have something to say, just say it!" Jin Jiashu laughed dryly twice: "It's okay. This is not the place to talk. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Haitang glanced at him sideways and was too lazy to ask any further questions.
She could probably guess what he wanted to say to her, but she herself was still undecided. Jin Jiashu's future was still unclear, and she was not someone who was determined to climb up. She had already been humiliated in her previous life, and in this life she had no shortage of money, and her grandfather and brother's official positions were enough to provide her with protection. She just wanted to lie down and live a leisurely and comfortable life. Although she had a good impression of him, she felt it was not worth it when she thought of Concubine Xu behind him and the little secret that could not be exposed.
Hmm... Although Jin Jiashu is indeed a good match, and he seems to be quite sincere towards me...
Haitang fell silent.
The group walked to the alley near their home. Before they reached their home, they passed by the front yard of the Chen family where their cousin uncle Xie Wenzai and others lived. They saw that the door of his house was open and the yard was bustling with people talking.
Little Stone recognized the voices of his grandparents and ran in happily: "Grandpa, grandma, cousin, you are back too?!"
Ma looked back and saw her grandson, and hurriedly hugged him: "We just came back. Your grandpa Cao drank too much, and we were laughing at him!" Little Stone leaned over to look and saw Cao Gengyun with a red face. He stood up from the wall and scolded with a smile: "How did I make a fool of myself? I just drank two more bowls of fermented rice wine, how can I be drunk?!"
Geng Tianyou helped him walk into the living room to rest. He smiled and patted his shoulder vigorously: "Good boy, Grandpa Cao knows that you are a filial, sensible and considerate child. It's a pity that I don't have a granddaughter, otherwise I would have invited you to be my grandson-in-law long ago!" Geng Tianyou blushed.
Lu Bainian laughed at his old friend: "How difficult is this? If you like Tianyou, you can be his grandson-in-law if you can't be his grandson-in-law. It's just a matter of words. Can Lao Geng not agree?!"
Cao Gengyun waved his hands and said, "It's easy to adopt a grandson, but I just can't bear to let him go. How can I let such a good child go to another family?" Then he turned around and asked Hai Xiya, "Or... Old Hai, why don't you accept this grandson-in-law? I think he is a good match for Tang girl."
Ma laughed and scolded: "You are so good, Old Cao. You ate two more bowls of fermented rice wine and started talking nonsense. How can the children listen to you? Go back to your room and sleep! Don't go crazy here!"
With a red face, Geng Tianyou helped Cao Gengyun up again and moved him to the inner courtyard.
Standing outside the gate, Haitang calmly told the maids to go home and ask someone to boil water first, so as to save the trouble for the grandparents after they returned home. She did not take Cao Gengyun's drunken words to heart at all.
Only Jin Jiashu had a serious look on his face.
He began to feel that he really didn't have much time left.
