The bullshit has already been blown out, is it really necessary to "slap one's tongue on the face"?
Which bastard son of a bitch dares to cut off my beard?
Jia Lian is really anxious this time - your grandparents and aunts, I have to be a bully who robs the theater troupe this time!
.
He Muen, the leader of "Chun Qinghe", didn't know Jia Lian, but he had traveled around the world for thirty years, met countless people from south to north, and was in the business of serving people like a theater troupe. He was already extremely smooth and sophisticated.
The handsome young man in gorgeous clothes in front of him suddenly turned gloomy. He quickly saluted repeatedly and said with a redoubled smile:
"Don't be upset, sir. Isn't this just a coincidence? I really don't know. If I knew that my family was going to have a party, I would have to help my affairs no matter what. But I have to make a decision first, so I have to
There is a first-come, first-served rule, right?"
The anxious Jia Lian said bitterly:
"Tell me, whose church are you attending tomorrow?"
He Muen thought to himself: It's better to let you officials figure out how powerful you are than to let us artists be caught in the middle. Anyway, who are you singing for? As long as you give us money, we don't care.
Are you singing to people or to ghosts?
So, he quickly said with a flattering smile:
"The one who has arranged to meet with us tomorrow is Xie Qianli, Xie Da, the commander of the Da Nei Regiment and Battalion..."
"Thank you Qianli???"
When Jia Lian heard that it was him, he felt relieved:
That’s it! Since we are one of our own, then this matter is no problem.
Then he said:
"It's done. Needless to say, you can just go to Rongguo Mansion to sing early tomorrow morning. I'll go and tell Xie Qianli over there. He won't refuse."
When He Muen heard the words "Rongguofu", he glanced at Jia Lian again and thought:
I wonder why you have so much confidence? You are the young master of the Duke’s Mansion.
Although he was still afraid of offending Uncle Xie, the commander of the inner regiment, He Muen thought about it and decided to go to the Duke's Mansion first, so he quickly nodded and bowed:
"I obey your orders, but I wonder what happy event will happen in your mansion tomorrow? Please tell me first what kind of opera is suitable for you to sing?"
As he spoke, he took out the playlist from his sleeve, hunched over and raised his hands above his head.
Jia Lian didn't pick it up and just put a piece of silver in his hand:
"Tomorrow is the wedding of the eldest sister in my house. This is a fixed amount of twenty taels. You can bring all the guys over and sing whatever you want. As long as it makes everyone happy, except the old lady tomorrow
In addition to the reward, I will give you another thirty taels when the time comes."
"Oh, that's so kind. You guys must use all your housekeeping skills to honor your family. Please be at ease, you will never go wrong!"
He Muen was overjoyed: After this meeting, I will give you at least fifty taels! This is a big fat guy, and whoever catches up will recite the Buddha's name.
But after all, he is an old man who does things for the elderly, and he will never get himself into trouble just because he is happy, and he apologized and said with a smile:
"I don't worry about the drama, but it's just a little bold. It would be best if you go and tell Uncle Xie. It's a happy event for both parties..."
"What happy event is there for him?"
"I heard that it is for Mr. Hu to take care of himself."
.
When Jia Lian arrived at Xie's house, the man at the door had just announced that he was entering. In the blink of an eye, Xie Qianli ran out shouting:
"Having been here for more than half a year, Mr. Tiger, you miss me so much!"
As he spoke, he rushed to Jia Lian's eyes and punched him head-on.
Jia Lian was shocked, and followed Xie Qianli's instructions at the school before, and threw out a punch to block.
Unexpectedly, Xie Qianli shrunk his neck and bent down, hugged Jia Lian around the waist, and lifted him up:
"What a coincidence! What a coincidence! I was just about to go out to your house to find you, but by chance you came!"
Jia Lian said anxiously:
"I have something urgent to tell you!"
Xie Qianli suddenly paused and looked up to see the anxious look on Jia Lian's face. He thought something serious had happened and quickly put Jia Lian down and walked over to ask urgently:
"What's the big deal?"
Jia Lian arranged his clothes and then said word by word:
"I want to tell you: let me go!"
.
Xie Qianli suddenly realized that he had been fooled by Jia Lian:
"You are such a tiger, you will play tricks on others when we meet!"
"Come on, it's better than hugging and lifting people up when you meet them.
If my jealous wife finds out, she will definitely suspect that you are a woman disguised as a man, and I will tear you apart."
The two chatted and laughed, and Xie Qianli became very excited:
"Let's go, let's meet each other in vain! Let's go have a drink first!
Tomorrow, Xiao Chen, Xiao Ma and the rest will come, let’s have a great time and have a great time!
We have all heard that you have done a lot of great things in the south, but we want to hear you tell us about it yourself to see if it is as lively as the bookstores in the capital say."
Jia Lian grabbed him:
"It can't happen today, that's why I'm here.
My daughter is having her third bath tomorrow, and I really can’t get away from home. Secondly, the ‘Chun Qing He’ theater troupe has been given to me, and I have to hold a party at home.”
"Ah? Are you a father?"
"Yes, I am a father, but you are still my son."
"Bah! No ivory can come out of a dog's mouth!"
Jia Lian chuckled:
"Okay, okay, I appreciate your love. It's just that I have something to do at home tomorrow. Let's get together in two days. By then, all the entertainment and drinks will be mine. Make it as lively as possible."
Xie Qianli pouted:
"My father has been on patrol for the past two days, so we can have fun at my house. His old man will come back in two days, and we always feel restrained when we are having fun, right?"
"Isn't that easy to handle? I asked Dongfeng Tower in advance not to do business that day, and asked Chun Qinghe to perform on the first floor, and a bunch of us sat on the second floor to watch.
If you like, there are two tables of Pai Gow dice next to it, and you can also gamble while drinking. If you have a crush on the top card, you can also call us. Wouldn't it be more comfortable than at your home?"
"Oh, my little sweetheart Tiger Lord! You are so considerate! How can I love you so much?"
"Go away! I haven't seen you for half a year, why have you become so disgusting? It can't be because of Xiao Chen..."
"Get out!"
.
After saying goodbye to Xie Qianli, Jia Lian rushed home again. It was already past dinner time.
Returning to his small courtyard, he entered the room and saw Sister Feng leaning on the big pillow, drinking ginseng soup with a small silver spoon. Ping'er was waiting beside her, and the wet nurse was holding the elder sister to sleep.
As soon as Jia Lian came in, Sister Feng quickly asked:
"Have you eaten yet?"
Jia Lian lay down on the kang:
"I'm still eating, I'm almost exhausted."
Sister Feng winked at Ping'er, who pursed his lips and smiled, then took the ginseng soup and handed it to Jia Lian.
Sister Feng leaned on the big pillow and said in a arrogant tone:
"Who told you to come back late? There's only half a cup left. I'll reward you with a sip. It will refresh you and give you the strength to eat."
Ping'er smiled and said:
"It's a hurtful thing to say, but it has to be said in such a way that it hurts people. Why bother?"
Then he said to Jia Lian:
"This bowl of ginseng soup was delivered to me by the old lady alone. There is no more.
Nowadays, everything in our family is frugal. Even when my second grandma was pregnant with my eldest sister, we had to pay for the doctor’s consultation fees and transportation expenses ourselves, let alone taking tonics.
Why are you buying ginseng and bird's nest with your own money and yet others are making irresponsible remarks?"
Jia Lian was not polite, took it over and ate it, closing his eyes to relax a little.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw that Ping'er was about to go out to arrange meals, so he stopped her:
"Spread my word: Everyone in this courtyard will have double portions every month until the eldest sister turns one year old. Tomorrow, the eldest sister will take a bath, and each person will be rewarded with one tael of silver and a new set of clothes." "Ah?" Ping'er and the nanny were both stunned, then overjoyed.
But I heard Jia Lian say again:
"But there is a point. As long as you don't do things with all your heart, if you let me know, I will go out immediately and I will not stay."
Ping'er went out to serve the food and went to gather everyone in the courtyard to convey Jia Lian's reward and punishment orders. Jia Lian asked the nurse to take the baby and go back to sleep.
.
Wang Xifeng was also a smart person. Seeing that he had something to say, he spoke first:
"Tomorrow, let's just have fun by ourselves about the eldest sister's third party.
I still have some left over from my dowry, so I might as well use a few dozen taels to make some fun, but I can’t let them look down on me.”
