Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 56 Auntie comes to visit

Li An went to find Liu Xuewen and informed him.

Liu Xuewen thought he didn't like the excitement, so he didn't say anything. He introduced Li An to the officials from other states and counties at the same table.

Li An bowed one by one under Liu Xuewen's introduction.

This was not the first time he had experienced something like this.

When you become a master, find someone to witness the ceremony, just to confirm the master-disciple status.

Liu Xuewen did not hold an apprenticeship ceremony when he first became a disciple, but he would be brought to various banquets and gatherings to introduce him to everyone.

Some people who have a good relationship with Liu Xuewen will be given a special gift afterwards.

The value is not expensive, and it is not cheap for Ang Lee either.

With a familiar face, Liu Xuewen let Li An go.

Li An returned to Sheng Changbai's yard, and the food and wine had already been served.

"Brother Li Xian, come and sit down quickly. I can get to know Zicheng and Brother Li Xian today, so I have to have a good drink." Gu Tingye said with a smile when he saw Li An coming back.

"Sanshui, take Zhuzhu down to eat something." Sheng Changbai ordered Sanshui.

Goudan is Shizhu’s nickname. Normally, it’s okay to call him Goudan, but as a book boy, it’s a bit inappropriate to call him Goudan.

Li An usually calls him Zhuzi in front of outsiders, and Sheng Changbai has met him a few times.

At first, Li An wanted to call him Shitou, but thinking of Gu Tingye's long follower called Shitou, he called Zhuzhu.

Hearing this, Shi Zhu looked at Li An, saw him nodding, and then left with Sanshui.

Li An sat down opposite Gu Tingye. When he saw Gu Tingye holding a jug to pour him wine, he quickly said, "Zhong Huai, I'm still young and can't drink."

"Eh~" Gu Tingye said displeased: "How can a man not drink? I started drinking when I was eight years old. Today the three of us hit it off immediately, so we must drink some."

Li An: "..."

Can I compare with you, a frequent visitor to Qin Lou Chu Pavilion?
  But Gu Tingye said so, and he couldn't shirk it, so he could only let Gu Tingye pour him wine.

When Gu Tingye poured the wine, Li An found that it was rice wine, which made him relieved. If he drank less rice wine, it shouldn't be a big problem.

The three of them drank, ate and chatted, and their relationship became closer.

Li An was not very good at drinking in his last life. Even though it was just rice wine, he did not dare to drink more. Except for a glass at the beginning, he would take small sips afterwards.

Sheng Changbai's drinking capacity is average, but Gu Tingye's drinking capacity is very good. When talking happily, he will have a drink.

……

Li An and the others drank for more than an hour. Gu Tingye got drunk because he drank too much and had enough energy.

Li An and Sheng Changbai took Gu Tingye to the guest room to rest, said goodbye and prepared to go back.

At this time, the banquet in the front yard was not over yet. Li An went to Liu Xuewen and said something, and then went back with Shizhu.

As soon as he arrived at the door of his home, Li An heard his aunt's voice.

Li An frowned slightly. Since the separation, his father would buy some meat and other things and go back to visit his grandfather every month. Li An would also go back with him occasionally.

At first, when they went back, the aunt was still very angry. But when she learned that Li An was studying with Liu Xuewen, she didn't believe it at all.

As a result, when they went back again, the news had already spread, and the eldest aunt seemed to be a changed person, which was called enthusiasm.

He also asked Li An to help get Li Fu into the official school, but Li An would naturally not agree.

The eldest aunt was not willing to give in and came to the door several times. Later, my grandfather got angry and scolded her, so he never came again.

It seems that the eldest aunt has not been here for several months. Why is she here again this time?
  Li An asked Shi Zhu to go back first, opened the door and walked in. He saw his aunt standing at the door of the kitchen talking. When he heard the noise, he turned around and saw Li An. He said with a smile on his face: "A Niu is back. , I heard that today is the day when Lord Tongpan’s daughter will be hired, so you went to have a drink, how about it, isn’t it very lively?”

"Well, it's very lively." Li Anying nodded.

Mrs. Liu heard the commotion and came out of the kitchen. Seeing Li An's rosy face, she frowned and said, "Have you been drinking?"

"Brothers and sisters, this is a wedding banquet for Master Tongpan. It's normal for Aniu to drink some wine." The eldest aunt said with a smile.

"Mom, I just drank a little and feel a little dizzy. Let's go inside and sleep for a while."

Li An was not used to his eldest aunt becoming so attentive, but even though the two families were separated, they were still relatives, so he couldn't chase her away, so he simply ignored her.

"Aniu, wait a minute." Seeing that Li An was leaving, the aunt wanted to go up and hold him.

"Hey sister-in-law, Aniu has never drunk before, and now he is not feeling well. Please let him go to sleep for a while." Mrs. Liu quickly stopped the eldest aunt. Li An entered the house, breathed a sigh of relief, and went to bed, but his ears paid attention to the voices outside.

However, it was the first time that his body came into contact with alcohol, and his head was indeed a little dizzy. He fell asleep before he could understand the purpose of his aunt's visit.

"Aniu, Aniu!"

Li An was sleeping in a daze and felt someone pushing him. When he opened his eyes, he saw the dim light in the room. It must be evening.

"Don't sleep, let's eat soon." Li Ping said.

"Oh."

Li An lifted the quilt, sat up, and asked, "Is auntie gone?"

"left already."

"Is she still the same as before when she comes this time?"

"That's not true. The eldest aunt is here to borrow money this time. My cousin said they were getting married and she wanted to borrow some money to prepare the betrothal gift. In addition, the eldest aunt wants you to help me ask if I can get my cousin to work as a clerk in the Yamen. ." Li Ping said.

"What did parents say?" Li An asked while putting on his shoes.

"My mother borrowed five taels of silver from my eldest aunt to get my cousin to work as a clerk in the government office, but she refused," Li Ping said.

"Haha, mother is really smart." Li An said with a smile.

If you lend this money, you will definitely not get it back. What you borrowed before has not been repaid.

But such a thing must be borrowed. In the past, my eldest aunt often came to the house, but later she was scolded by my grandfather and did not dare to come again.

It must have been my grandfather's wish to come here this time.

……

In the Sheng family, the banquet lasted until nearly evening.

After Mrs. Wang and Sheng Hong saw off the guests together, they led Mother Liu to the backyard.

"Go, get a few people to bring Lin Sushuang to Wei Ruixuan." Mrs. Wang said coldly.

"Yes." Mother Liu responded and hurried away.

Mrs. Wang returned to Wei Ruixuan, sat on the main seat in the hall, and waited with a gloomy face.

"Let me go, what are you doing?"

After a while, Lin Xiaoniang's screams came from outside.

"go!"

Lin Xiaoniang struggled and was dragged into the hall by some rough women.

"Kneel down!" Mrs. Wang said coldly.

Lin Xiaoniang was a little embarrassed because she struggled all the way. When she heard this, she glanced at Mrs. Wang and sneered: "Madam, I don't seem to have made any mistakes, right?"

"Your son lost all my Hua'er's betrothal geese. You, a young lady, didn't teach me well. If it hadn't been for that girl Minglan, today my Hua'er would have become the laughing stock of the entire Yangzhou. Are you right? Hurry up. Kneel down!" Mrs. Wang shouted.

"Chang Feng is young and ignorant. Besides, he didn't make any big mistakes. Why should a lady be like a child?" Lin Xiaoniang said.

"I just don't want to be like a child, so I asked someone to bring you here. I didn't expect you to teach me a lesson. Please open your mouth!" Mrs. Wang said coldly.

"Yes!"

The rough ladies that Liu's mother found were all Mrs. Wang's dowries, so naturally they all listened to her.

"Wang Ruofu, how dare you!" Lin Xiaoniang said sternly: "Aren't you afraid that the master will blame you?"

"Haha, I am a mistress, and it is my duty to discipline my concubines. Beat me!" Mrs. Wang sneered.

"stop!"

At this moment, Sheng Hong walked in with a gloomy expression.
