Chapter 29：

Whether Mrs. Xiao is eccentric or not, the young merchants have to admit that the professional quality of others is really lacking. Since the first acquaintance at the banquet that day, she and Mrs. Yin became friends soon after, and exchanged letters and gifts frequently. So, on the third day after Uncle Cheng left home for school, Cheng Cha's eyes were red from crying, so the old servant of the Yin family sent an invitation.

Cheng Shi was very sorry, and said that Cheng Chengwan would be on the road for a few days if he knew it earlier. Admittedly, as a result, Mother Cheng refused to do anything at all. Xiao Sang and his wife pressed Cheng Cha and Shao Shang to dress up ruthlessly. This time, the two sisters finally agreed and dressed the two girls in a dignified and simple direction.

On the way, I turned to Wanjia's new house and joined the Wan family's youngest daughter, Qiqi, and the two families went to Yin's house together.

"I've been to Yin's house before, and there are so many people. I can't tell how many rooms and chitins in his house." Wan Eqi spoke brightly and cheerfully, "My mother said, then Mr. Yin, he was not the head of the Yin family, but unfortunately his first brothers were all killed, and he succeeded the head of the family when the Yin family was in turmoil." She was quite proud of her words, because her father was called out for thousands of times. After looking forward to it, he will immediately become the next successor of the Wan family.

Miss Wan was born plump and beautiful, with a high forehead and phoenix eyes, eyebrows and eyes like her father, mouth and chin like her mother, and she was beautiful. Today, she is wearing the freshest and brightest pink long skirt that Shao Shang has ever seen, with prosperous Qiongzhi flowers woven on the top, gold and silver threads inlaid around the cuffs and skirt, and a belt around her neck. He wore a heavy red gold collar, and set a pile of colorful gems and jade within the weight allowable range. When he moved his neck, it was very lively.

Shao Shang was dizzy and dizzy, thinking, this is the proper father and daughter.

"Qiqi, you are showing off again, you know three points, you have to show off five points..."

Cheng Song rode on a horse, put his head to the side window of the carriage, and smiled and chatted with the three girls in the carriage. Cheng Yong frowned and said, "Yiyou, you put down the curtains, you are outside." Although he knew that Wan Eqi had deliberately told the situation of the Yin family to the two younger sisters, he shouldn't be blatant.

Wan Eqi glared and said: "eldest brother is really, okay." Then he waved to Cheng Song, and then pulled down the thick car curtain to cut off the sound from outside. Then she turned her head and smiled at the second daughter: "I'm older than both of you, and I live in the thirteenth family. We don't separate each other, so you can call me Thirteenth Sister. If you have anything in the future, feel free to come to me!"

Cheng Cha hurriedly said yes, but Shao Shang smiled and said nothing. Wan Eqi asked why. Shao Shang smiled and said, "Second brother told me earlier that you are the youngest under Uncle Wan's knees, and you must be the elder sister in front of us today."

Wan Qiqi couldn't help laughing: "Cheng Song is hateful, he likes to speak ill of me. Don't listen to him!"

Cheng Cha was afraid that she would be unhappy, so she quickly changed the topic: "Thirteen sister, are you feeling better from the cold?"

Wan Eqi complained: "It's good time, the eldest mother has to cover me for three more days, or I'll come to your house that day."

Shao Shang sighed, if Wan Qiqi came that day, she might not be angry and run around, and she would not meet the debt collector surnamed Yuan.

…

Yin's house is also located in Jinyangfang. The mansion is about the same size as the Cheng's house, but it is decorated with beautiful flowers, golden beams and colorful buildings, and the people are prosperous. There are half of the brothers of the Yin's house who greet guests at the door. A platoon, seeing Cheng's mother is very envious.

The Yin family gave a lot of face. Lord Yin led the eldest son and the second son out of the house to welcome the Cheng family. 'Dude', the two of them held hands, and the more they talked, the more they agreed, and those who didn't know saw it and thought it was an old friend reunited after a long absence. Wan Songbai, who was watching, was sour.

Master Yin, named Zhi, styled Ziren, is about the same age and official rank as Uncle Wan, but he was born thin and gentle. , in charge of matters such as the weddings and funerals of princes, kings, and lords, as well as foreign envoys.

Wan Songbai couldn't help but pouted.

In terms of talent and courage, this Yin Zhi ten thousand cannot compare to him and Cheng Shi. The Yin family in Fengxian County was originally a local family similar to Wanjia, but the family was born well, and it was close to the emperor's hometown. Basically, the emperor had an accident, and the Yin family followed the dragon. Even when the emperor was in the most difficult time, he never left, and he was honest and hardworking. Therefore, although he did not make any contribution, his knowledge was mediocre, but after the new dynasty was established, he was still able to get a big share of the pie.

The parents walked in the front, Cheng Yong and the others chatted with the children of the Wan family, and they went to the crowd of teenagers with them after a while; He turned his head and said softly, "It seems that the Yin family is very kind."

Wan Qiqi pouted: "You have not seen any unkindness."

When the three of them were led to the inner hall and saw the girl who was surrounded by stars, Shao Shang immediately understood what she meant.

Wan Qiqi didn't smile very happily, but she still followed the etiquette and recommended: "Chuqi, Niaoxiao, this is the Yin family's sister Chuang'e, who is only three days older than me. Sister Chang'e, these are the two younger sisters of Uncle Cheng's family."

Yin Jiao'e is gentle and noble, with a delicate demeanor, wearing a long skirt with three windings of gold and red brocade and satin, sitting upright in the middle of the hall, with a bunch of little girls beside her Talk around flattery.

When she heard the words, she first looked critically at Wan Qiqi's clothes, then glanced at the two coquettish daughters, and said delicately: "I heard you blowing for a long time, and you still think these two sisters are the same. The people in the sky, seeing each other today is nothing but ordinary."

Wan Eqi rolled her eyes: "When did I blow it. It's the first time I saw them today. Don't you choose people when you talk about them? ... Do you still tell us to sit down? La."

Yin Yan'e said casually: "Three sisters, please sit down."

Wan Qiqi stared.

Master Yin has six sons and two daughters, half of which are from Mrs. Yin; General Wan has thirteen daughters, one of which is from Mrs. Wan. The two girls were obtained after their mother had not moved for a long time, and they were a little pampered in daily life.

Since Wan's family returned to the capital, Mrs. Yin couldn't wait to find her childhood sisters to reminisce about the old days. Who knew that these two girls were almost on the spot. A noble woman who thinks she is a noble woman, grew up in the rich and noble nest at the feet of the emperor, and knows almost all the nobles and lords in the city; a person who thinks that she is well-informed, is not much better than your pretentious one.

The maids served the desserts, and Yin Yan'e gracefully invited the girls to taste: "This is called golden swiftlet nest date, it took more than ten processes to make it, and it is considered delicate, so let's try it... Qiqi, you and the Cheng sisters have never tasted it..."

The girls who were sitting around were either laughing with their sleeves covered, or whispering, sneering from time to time.

At this time, the banquet guests, the higher the status, the later the Wan family is because Mrs. Wan and Mrs. Yin have a deep relationship, so they came to help them early, and by the way, they spared the Cheng family. Therefore, with the exception of Wan Cheng's three daughters, most of the little girls present here are from the family of guests who are attached to the Yin family.

Wan Qiqi would not be at a loss, and said loudly: "I cut a leopard with my hands, and cut the heart and cut out the bones to make wine for my father. When the royal banquet was in front of my father, my father took it to present a treasure, and His Majesty said" Jiangmen tiger girl', you have this honor!"

Yin Yan'e reluctantly said: "Okay, let's not talk about it, let's try some snacks."

Wan Qiqi couldn't eat it. The young businessman is hot, and the old lady in the heart has eaten Tiramisu Haagen-Dazs, have you ever eaten it!

She was unhappy and refused to eat the **** golden jujube, and only held a bowl of corn soup to warm her hands. Only Cheng Cha had a good temper. She picked up one of the dim sum dishes, poked one in her mouth with a silver stick, and said softly to Shaoshang, "This golden swiftlet nest date is really delicious."

Who knows, a girl sitting next to them suddenly laughed loudly: "Oh, oh, sister Cheng's mistake! This is not the golden swiftlet bird's nest date, but the goat milk sweet date! "

Under the skin, it looks like a candied date but it is not a date. Cheng Cha didn't know, so she took it wrong.

From Yin Chang'e and below, all the girls were laughing back and forth, overjoyed, only Wan Qiqi and Shaoshang were pale, and Cheng Hao was so ashamed that she wanted to cry.

Wan Qiqi trembled with anger, and said loudly: "What kind of golden swiftlet nest dates, I haven't eaten before I came to the capital, how?!"

Yin Yan'e said slowly: "Not so much. But it seems that slaughtering a beast and gouging out the heart is nothing special. I wonder if you have seen it."

Wan Qiqi got up and took a long breath: "Okay. Now the military disaster has just stopped, and there are many hungry people outside. It is not difficult to see bones and fields, women and children crying. It has only been a few days since His Majesty settled the world, and he often advocates frugality, so you start to praise people with extravagance..."

Shao Shang raised his eyebrows, expressing his appreciation for this tactic of taking big hats on top of the line. However, using this kind of quarrel has a lot of limitations. First of all, you must have no shortcomings in this area, otherwise the ending will be very funny. For example, corrupt officials talk about incorruptibility, gluttonous talk about moderation, sweetie on the left, Yadidie on the right, and then talk about society. Concept of marriage and love.

Sure enough, when Wan Qiqi got up in anger, the gold beads all over her body shook, especially the gold beads and jade on the collar rattled, it was difficult for others to pay attention, all the girls thought to themselves You dress like this, but you look like you are worried about the people's hardships.

Yin Yan'e didn't eat this set even more, and sneered: "You don't talk about such a high-sounding, open mouth, His Majesty shut up the world, and don't look at your own clothes, as well as your family's food. "Although she has been spoiled since she was a child, she is not ignorant of world affairs. Madam Yin has taught everything she should teach, so how could she be repelled by such a few big truths.

The hero knelt down in front of the emperor and bowed his head. Although we are little women, we are also honored. Now that life is getting better, is it possible that we still have to eat bran?! Today, I only showed off a little, and I ate you with my head covered. Such a communication is just to boast that you are loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and we don’t know the sufferings of the world!”

Yin Jiao’e talked eloquently, and all the doglegs beside her immediately echoed the batter case—

"A vulgar woman, it's a good name to drink blood like a hair!"

"Where do they think the capital is? It's just a plate of snacks. If they see a real rich family, their eyes will fall out!"

"If you haven't eaten and used good food, you can't see what others eat and use! This is jealousy!"

"So aware of the suffering of the people, why don't you put on rags and go to the fields to farm and eat vegetables! I don't know how to give up that gold, silver and precious jade!"

…

Shao Shang sighed. Although those dead girls were sneering and sarcastic, they were not all lies. Yin Zhi is cautious and does not brag about the wealthy in daily life. The real wealthy family is like Yuhou and his like. Every meal will cost tens of thousands of dollars. The banquet is like water, and the waste is like rain. Where is the Yin family going?

Although Miss Wan has a high fighting spirit, she obviously chose the wrong tactics. To deal with such a cheap talker, she should go straight to the point and pierce her heart. Then end the fight.

"Miss Yin." Shao Shang suddenly said, "Little sister is very young, so I don't know if you can know a word."

Yin Yan'e and Wan Eqi were staring at each other like cockfighting. After hearing this, she said casually: "Sister Cheng, tell me." She wanted to be among the little girls, just count Cheng Shaoshang The youngest, what can I say.

"Today's Yin family banquet, our Cheng family came to receive the Cambodian letter, so the letter was sent by my sister's family, right?"

"Our Cheng family was very well received by the Ling Zun Lingtang as a guest. It's not that they came to Yin's house to take a sip of this golden bird's nest date, right?" Shaoshang's attitude was still very friendly.

Yin Shao'e knew that she was not very good, she tried to squeeze a smile and said, "Sister Cheng's mouth is so powerful, it seems that I have waited for you to be mean..."

"My cousin grew up in the countryside since childhood. Several neighboring counties suffered from military disasters, and it was only gradually restored in the past few years. Righteousness, it's not that I can't afford it, but that I don't want to spend more than a dozen processes to make dim sum, is this a sin?" Shao Shang stared at Yin Hao'e, his face was cold.

Yin Yan'e couldn't laugh anymore, and the girls gradually became quiet.

"I grew up in the capital, but my parents and my mother fought in the blood and fire in front of me. Are we going to eat and drink in this safe capital?! So, I have never seen this golden thread. Bird's nest dates, is this wrong!" Shao Shang gradually raised his voice.

Yin Shao'e hid her slightly trembling fingers under her sleeves.

"A sister Qiqi's family is not inferior to Yin's family, but she has never seen this dessert, is it because the family can't afford it? No. It is because she has been following her father for more than ten years. Outside the war, I follow Aunt Wan to care for the family members of the casualties every day, and it is too late to settle the fleeing people, so there is no time to spend more than a dozen processes to make snacks."

Unable to speak, a few even showed embarrassment.

Shao Shangshu pushed open the food table, with anger in his voice: "You sisters can enjoy these delicacies, relying on the blessing of heaven, and relying on Your Majesty's evening clothes and food, all the civil and military of the dynasty do their best. Then the sisters mocked our sisters based on this blessing?! Today the Cheng family was invited to be a guest, did they come to suffer this humiliation?!"

Yin Yan'e's face turned green when she was scolded, and she secretly scolded Shaoshang for being so scheming. This time, she couldn't maintain her graceful attitude any longer, she straightened up quickly, and remedied: "Sister Cheng's sister is too serious, we can't make fun of it, but it's just a little joke! It's just a joke!"

Wan Eqi finally caught up with the rhythm of the quarrel, and sneered: "Today, the two younger sisters of the Cheng family came back to your house, and they don't know anyone except me. Are you familiar with each other? It's a joke. You always joke like this with the guests who come back to your house? I'll ask Aunt Yin. "

Yin Yan'e blushed and shouted excitedly: "Who is laughing at you! Don't talk nonsense! Don't slander people! You say..." She pointed around in a panic, "You say , where did we laugh at just now, didn't we? Isn't it?"

The girls around hurriedly rushed to respond, one after another, and there was no ridicule.

Wan Qiqi saw them cheating, and wanted to fight back in anger, but she asked Shaoshang to hold her sleeves. She looked back and saw Shaoshang smiling, saying word by word: "It seems that all the sisters just now laughed at me for waiting, didn't they?"

The girls were busy saying 'no no no'.

Shao Shang looked directly at Yin Yan'e, and said, "But we don't know, we don't even know dim sum!" The voice was gentle, as if playing with the prey in his palm.

Yin Yane had bitterness in her mouth, so she could only reluctantly say: "If you don't know it, you don't know it. It's amazing." The other girls quickly agreed.

I love to laugh. Just laughing again in the future, I will also divide the time and place, so as not to be misunderstood..."

This time, not only did no one laugh, but the girls didn't even dare to laugh.

Wan Qiqi was extremely happy.

If there is wine in front of her at this time, she will definitely drink three bowls in a row. Now she finally understands her father's feelings of uncle Cheng's sworn sworn swastika, she can't wait to ask someone to set up an incense case, burn yellow paper to cut off the chicken's head, and then drag the young businessman on the spot to slaughter blood as a sworn leader!

—Hey, this is a good idea, I will go back to my mother and father.

Wan Eqi couldn't hide her joy, turned her head to Shaoshang and said loudly: "When I was outside, I heard a saying. It's called 'If you dare to do something, it's not as good as the king'! Haha...haha... !"

She laughed loudly, Yin Yane's face was extremely ugly, and her arrogance was no less than Wan Qiqi's. !

Seeing that the two girls were about to turn their faces again, a woman in Chinese clothes dressed as a young woman came in outside the hall. Yin Yan'e's eyes lit up: "Eldest sister..."

Yin looked around, and sure enough, all the girls looked bad, and the atmosphere in the hall was almost tense.

She glared at Yin Yan'e and said in a feigned anger, "You, you, that's what you do to the master? You are lazy, so you keep all the sisters sitting with you. It's too early to leave the table, so Why don't you ask all the sisters to go for a walk in the garden, and a bunch of girls are bored in the house to hatch bean sprouts?!"

Yin Chang'e has grievances, Wan Qiqi wants to sue, and the two girls have to open their mouths, who knows that Yin Shi takes the lead and smiles: "Qiqi, Aunt Yin is looking for you... You too, Yan'e. Don't be stunned, grandma also asked you to come over..." Then she smiled at everyone, "Although my home is small, I recently moved a few fresh winter bamboos, which are twisted and twisted, and their appearance is very novel. Just let me lead my sisters to see, how?"

All the girls applauded, and the young merchants had no choice but to start, Cheng Cha held back her anger and said nothing.

Yin Shi himself pulled Cheng Cha and Shaoshang one by one, walked out, and said with a smile: "The two younger sisters from the Cheng family came back to my house for the first time, so they should be treated well. She has always been straightforward, but she has no intentions, not to mention that the two elders are willing to make good friends, and the two younger sisters are people who have a lot of good fortune.

Cheng Cha thought that the enemy should be resolved or not, so she answered in a low voice.

Shao Shang remained silent, only sneered in his heart: After the slap, here comes the sweet jujube. What kind of big blessing is great, is it because you have no energy and no luck if you continue to theorize this matter?

I walked all the way to the garden, and when the cold winter wind blew, Shao Shang suddenly came to his senses.

What if it doesn't go away? If Wan Qiqi went here, she must have been ordered by her mother not to publicize this matter, and the same goes for the other little girls. Besides, is it because of the quarrel of the little children, let Father Cheng become an enemy for nothing? Dad hurts himself so much.
