While everyone was chatting and joking, they saw Aunt Xue come in. Several maids behind them cleared the dining table, carried lunch boxes and put them on it. Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Let's eat first."
Jia Jing stood up and said: "Where is Brother Xue?" Aunt Xue was stunned for a moment and then said: "I just saw him hurried out, don't worry about him, he was freezing all day long, and when he came back he was also using it outside.
It's not easy for your sisters to come in while he's here."
Jia Jing smiled and nodded and said: "I knew that was the case, so I'll just eat outside!" Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Hey! How can that be done? This meal today is just for you.
Did I ask you to sit outside instead?"
Daiyu laughed when she heard this and said: "What my aunt said is that we are not welcome anymore. It turns out that we are just inviting the second brother. We are being sentimental. Come on, let's make room for the second brother!" Everyone laughed, Xue
Auntie stepped forward and gently stroked Daiyu's face and said, "Okay, okay! My aunt was wrong. If you all left, my aunt would feel really bad!"
Jia Jing smiled and said, "Auntie, you don't have to be polite to me. It's just a meal. It's not the same anywhere. Brother Xue and I are eating outside. Baoyu, let's go!" Baoyu, who was about to take a seat, was stunned when he heard this.
For a moment, he also wanted to eat with his sisters...
But looking at the look in his second brother's eyes... Baoyu suddenly felt that everything was the same inside and outside the house. Baoyu stood up and nodded dejectedly. Aunt Xue smiled and said: "Good boy, then you can eat outside, I will ask them to give it to you."
The same goes for ordering more charcoal basins."
Jia Jing smiled and said: "You can use yours, we don't have to bother, it will keep you warm when you eat it." So she took Jia Baoyu out and went out. In fact, it was just across the main room. The Jia sisters were eating in the back room while Jia Jing waited.
People eat in the lobby, separated by a screen.
Jia Jing took his seat with a smile, and Baoyu could only sit down. Jia Jing sat down. After a while, he heard Xue Pan coming back from outside. As he ran, he shouted: "Mom! Mom! Is the banquet ready?"
Aunt Xue shouted through the screen: "We have been prepared for a long time. The whole family is waiting for you! Where have you gone?" Xue Pan opened the door curtain from the outside and came in with a smile: "Mom! I brought back a distinguished guest.
!" Aunt Xue heard this and said doubtfully: "What kind of distinguished guest?"
Jia Jing and Jia Baoyu who were outside saw the man who came back after Xue Pan. Jia Jing couldn't help but be a little surprised. Jia Baoyu stood up in surprise: "Brother Liu! Why are you here?"
I saw that the person behind Xue Pan was none other than Liu Xianglian, who was trying his best to protect Jia Baoyu and Xue Pan today. Hearing Baoyu's cry, the back room fell into silence. Liu Xianglian also said slightly embarrassed: "I'm late at night.
It's not easy to disturb, so there's no need to come, but... I can't stand Brother Xue's enthusiasm, so I can only bother you."
After saying that, he saluted Jia Jing and said, "Uncle." Jia Jing smiled and nodded and said, "Sit down." So the four of them took their seats. Jia Jing had the highest status and was a guest, so he sat at the first place.
Xue Pan went to sit down, but Xue Pan tried his best to ask Liu Xianglian to sit down. When Liu Xianglian refused, Xue Pan forced him to sit down, and Liu Xianglian had no choice but to admit it.
So Baoyu sat in three seats and Xue Pan sat at the bottom. Everyone was seated. Xue Pan laughed and said, "Hurry up and serve the food! Hurry up and serve the food! We've been hungry all day! Let's bring some more good wine! We won't be here today."
I'm so drunk that I won't come back!" There was still no words in the back room, so the maids went down and served food and wine.
Xue Pan took the wine glass first and poured it for Jia Jing, saying: "Brother Jing, let me toast you! I don't know what kind of bad luck I have had since I came to Beijing! Something always happens! Thanks to you for meeting me several times.
"Help, I'll toast you with this glass of wine!" As he said this, he filled himself up with wine, drank it in one gulp, and tipped the glass as a sign.
Jia Jing also accompanied him and picked up the wine glass and drank it down. At the same time, he laughed and said: "Brother Xue is too polite. They are all relatives and friends, and they are talking about these heretics."
Now I know Jia Jing’s influence. If this happens again next time, Xue Pan will report Jia Jing’s name directly! I’ve already lent you a tiger skin, so what’s the point of drinking a glass of wine? I, Xue Pan, am like a monkey
Very good!
Xue Pan then poured a glass for Liu Xianglian. Liu Xianglian quickly held it with both hands and said: "You're too polite! Brother Xue, you..." Xue Pan pretended to be dissatisfied and said "Hey!", and then said seriously: "Erlang"
Stop making trouble, I must toast you with this glass of wine!"
As he spoke, he poured Liu Xianglian a full glass of wine, then raised his own glass and said: "Erlang, what I did was wrong before! I will solemnly admit my mistake to you now! If you feel uncomfortable, give me two
Scrape your lower ears! How about I give you a few blows? As long as you feel better, just tell me what you want me to do!"
Liu Xianglian smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Xue said something serious. Those things will be over when they are over. Just treat it as an end of the story. Don't take it to heart."
I have to make you say this! Like this! I’ll kowtow to you a few times!”
After saying that, he stood up and knelt down to kowtow to Liu Xianglian. Liu Xianglian quickly stood up and supported him and said: "Brother! Big brother, don't do this! I can't leave if you do this! I told you, it's all over!"
Hearing the noise, Jia Jing became slightly agitated. She quickly picked up the wine glass as if drinking, and covered her mouth with her hand, which was about to burst into laughter!
Baoyu laughed at the side and said: "Brother Xue, since Brother Liu has already said it, let's just let it pass and no one will mention it, okay? If you say it like this, everyone will feel uncomfortable.
?" Xue Pan stood up quickly after hearing this and said: "Yes! Baoyu is right!"
After getting up, Aunt Xue, who couldn't help cursing, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Xue Pan raised the wine glass and said, "But you must drink this glass of wine with me!" Liu Xianglian smiled and said, "Okay!
Dare you disobey me? I will drink as much as Brother Xue drinks today!"
Xue Pan was overjoyed and drank it all in one gulp. Jia Jing put down the glass and reminded: "Drink less, drinking will cause trouble." Xue Pan waved his hand and said: "Hey! Brother Jing, you don't know! I am happy today! I am so happy!"
As he spoke, the corners of his eyes became moist, and he patted Liu Xianglian on the shoulder. He looked at Liu Xianglian with a big red face and was so excited that she almost cried.
Liu Xianglian nodded with an "I understand" expression, grabbed Xue Pan's hand on his thigh and patted it, Xue Pan said: "I have never suffered such grievances since I was a child! Brother Jing, do you know?
?At that time, I was almost scared to death! Fortunately, I have you! Fortunately, I have Erlang!"
Xue Pan grabbed Liu Xianglian's hand with a moved face and said: "I didn't expect, I didn't expect, there are such loyal people in the world! I treated Erlang so much before, why did Erlang treat me today? Those bastards
When Laozi wants to beat me, I usually treat people to dinner and drinks! But what if something really happens? Where are my 'friends'!"
Xue Pan said and patted Liu Xianglian's shoulder again and said: "It's my brother! He was the one who stood in front of me regardless of past grudges! Look at how my brother was beaten! It's not my brother, it's me, Xue Pan You have to give it up today!" Xue Pan said, and the sound of sobbing could be heard in the back room.
Xue Pan didn't pay attention, and continued to say emotionally: "When I saw Erlang blocking in front of me today, I made up my mind. This brother, I, Xue Pan, have decided! Erlang, I didn't say anything!" Liu Xianglian nodded. He nodded and said: "It's all over, what are you talking about?"
Hearing this, Xue Pan said: "Yes! It's all over! Let's not talk about this. From now on, Erlang, you can just see what the elder brother does! I didn't say anything!" Liu Xianglian smiled and nodded and said: "Drink, drink." Xue Pan immediately shouted. He smiled and said: "Yes, yes! Drink and drink! Come on, brother Jing, Baoyu, come and taste my good wine! Don't worry! Enough of the good wine!"
Jia Jing grinned, nodded silently and lowered her head to eat the food. Then it was time for Liu Xianglian and Xue Pan to perform. Both of them were really good-natured. They persuaded each other to drink until the glasses were dry. Jia Jing accompanied them. After drinking two cups, Baoyu put it down. Baoyu couldn't hold it any longer. Even Baoyu couldn't take two sips of the fruit wine.
And Xue Pan and Liu Xianglian are simply a match for each other and a good talent. They drank until the sky was dark and the earth was dark. They both felt like drinking with a close friend and a thousand glasses of wine is too little. By the end of the drink, they were both red-faced and undressed, brother. The two of them put their arms around each other's shoulders, just like the two brothers at the roadside food stall late at night in their previous life. They were drunkenly talking to each other, and the more they talked, the more excited they became.
Finally, Liu Xianglian slapped the table and said, "Nothing to say! Don't say anything, brother! Let me say something!" Let me say something! Brother, don’t... don’t like to hear it!"
Xue Pan nodded: "Just say it, just say it!" Liu Xianglian patted Xue Pan's shoulder and sobbed: "Me too, it's only now that I have met a brother like my eldest brother! Today I have met a true eldest brother. "Brother! You didn't say anything!" Xue Pan nodded with a deep look on his face, and Liu Xianglian yelled: "Brother, if you don't despise your brother for being poor! Don't despise your brother for being incompetent..."
Liu Xianglian raised her hands and said: "I recognize you as my eldest brother! We will become sworn brothers today!" Xue Pan immediately became energetic: "Sworn vows?" Liu Xianglian nodded: "Yes! We become sworn friends!" Xue Pan patted the table: "Okay. Wow! Such good brothers! We should be good brothers for the rest of our lives! Be sworn sworn brothers! Let’s get married now!”
So the two stood up shoulder to shoulder again. Liu Xianglian tilted her head and said, "Brother! Is there a second master Guan in your family?" Xue Pan shook his big head and said, "That's really not the case!" He smiled infatuatedly and said, "What should we do then? It doesn't matter to the second master, why should we become sworn brothers?"
Xue Pan scratched his big head, then laughed and said: "Afraid of farts! It's not about the second master, isn't there a second master sitting here! Aren't these all the second masters! Let's worship this!" Liu Xianglian immediately shouted happily Said: "Okay! Let's worship this second master!"
