Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 230 Anger

The main room of the Sun family was not very big, and there was no room left after placing an Eight Immortals table and four benches in the center, so the three families could only squeeze together on one table.

Sun Heping and his wife sit at the head as the main family, Sun Heqing and his wife sit on the left side, Wen Shu's father and daughter sit on the right side, and Sun Dalang and Dalang's wife sit at the head.

Sun Erlang's children are family members, and they don't need to sit at the table, so they went outside with their bowls and chopsticks to play with their friends.

Because they sat across from Sun Da's family, they would face each other as soon as they raised their heads. To avoid embarrassment, Wen Shu tried not to raise his head, and only picked the food in front of him to eat.

But after a meal, you can't say a word, don't raise your head, and after raising your head, you don't always keep a solemn face, but you have to smile politely.

However, Sun Yuanshi also has ulterior motives in the eyes of Sun Yuanshi for raising his head several times and smiling politely.

Alarm bells were ringing in her heart, why did that girl smile at Erlang so often? !

Could it be that she really wanted to seduce my son as she thought!
Thinking of this, Sun Yuan was furious, and when Mrs. Li once again praised Wen Shu for his good instructions, and the taste of the dishes improved a lot, she took advantage of the topic and said: "Ms. Wen is really good at cooking. With such ingenuity, the person who proposes marriage should You have already broken through the threshold, I don’t know which family you agreed to?”

Father Wen put down his chopsticks, smiled lightly and said, "Not yet, Ah Ning is still in a private school. It's not too late to talk about Xu Ren's matter two years later."

"It's still two years too late. The young lady is seventeen this year. In two years, she will be nineteen. I said shopkeeper Wen, you don't hurt your daughter like this. You are delaying her." Sun Yuan Shi said, and patted her head pretending to be annoyed, "Oh, look at my memory, the young lady is the only daughter in the family, and she will definitely recruit a son-in-law in the future, so she is not too old, as long as the shopkeeper prepares Just give a generous gift."

The yin and yang in the words were strange, not to mention that the old man who had been on guard all the time understood it clearly, even Sun Heping and his wife who were the middlemen also heard something was wrong.

The couple showed embarrassment and were about to smooth things over when they heard Father Wen say: "I am willing to raise my daughter, so what does it have to do with others! I don't eat a grain of rice from anyone, big or small, so I don't need others to talk too much." Talking nonsense."

This was very straightforward, so I almost pointed at Sun Yuanshi's face and said, I want you to talk too much about your shit.

Sun Yuan's face froze, and then he said again: "What shopkeeper Wen said, I also care about the little lady. If the little lady wants to find a husband, I have a good candidate. My mother's family in the country has a cousin who looks like "

"No need!" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Father Wen again: "My family, Wenshu, doesn't recruit! She can read and write well and cook well. In the future, you don't have to worry about opening a shop by yourself or getting married. , why do you want to recruit!"

Naturally, I will renew the incense for you!Sun Yuanshi pouted.

But then he thought that the person opposite was only about forty, and if he wanted to, he could have another one at any time, so he resentfully didn't speak.

But being choked by him twice in a row, Sun Yuanshi felt very uncomfortable, and couldn't find the reason for the attack for a while, only felt a tightness in his chest, extremely aggrieved.

At this time, in order to divert the topic and smooth things over, Sun Heping and his wife brought the topic to Sun Xing's studies, and asked Sun Yuan's Sun Xing how his homework was recently.

She was just asking casually, but Sun Yuan immediately recovered her spirits. She first praised her son fiercely, then rolled her eyes and said sarcastically: "My Erlang is appreciated by the master. After that, he will become a Jinshi." And, it is not impossible to be a marquis and worship a minister, so I thought, what kind of fairy will my son's future wife be, if she is not from a high-ranking official family, she must be from a wealthy family, like those from small families. I won't take it."

These words sounded normal, but when Sun Yuanshi spoke, he kept looking at their father and daughter, which was very problematic.

Wen Shu is not stupid, after thinking about it for a while, she can understand that the other party is beating her, but this Aunt Sun really doesn't understand, they didn't have much friendship in the past, how did she know that she likes Sun Xing.

The doubts in my heart were all doubts. Wen Shu, who had been held down by his father when he wanted to reply several times before, couldn't bear to be guessed like this.

She threw the pouch of truth hanging from her waist on the table, and said angrily: "Father, where did you buy this pouch of truth? It is useless to guard against villains, I see, from now on, this pouch of truth will It’s better to make it up yourself, otherwise you will have to meet some unreasonable people like today, what a bad luck!”

The truth bag she threw on the table is a sachet woven with red and white threads, also known as "red and white pouch".In order to avoid quarreling with others, rice and plums should be put in the bag, which is a homonym for "reason".

Wearing this on the Dragon Boat Festival is for good luck throughout the year, meeting reasonable people everywhere, so as not to be damaged by unreasonable popularity.

This truth bag is almost everyone's hand during the Dragon Boat Festival, and the implication is that all three-year-old children know it. Therefore, Wen Shu untied the truth bag at this time, and said such words, and Sun Yuan's face turned red with anger.

Sun Heping and his wife didn't expect things to turn out like this, and they were embarrassed and at a loss for a while, and just about to say something, they saw Father Wen standing up with a glass of wine in his hand.

"Today's Dragon Boat Festival, thanks to Brother Sun, I have invited you to my home for the festival. I have already eaten the meal, and there are still some things at home. After drinking this glass of calamus wine, my younger brother will go back first. You all have fun."

Father Wen drank the wine in his glass, then pulled Wen Shu away from the table and went out of the courtyard.

"Brother Wen!" Sun Heping chased him out, "I haven't finished the wine yet, brother."

"No." Father Wen shook his head: "I didn't sleep well last night, and my head hurts all the time. Brother, continue. When I have free time, I will find my brother to play Shuanglu."

This is not to be angry with him, Sun Heping breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, then brother, go back and have a good rest."

Father Wen nodded, and pulled Wen Shu out of Sun's house.

"Bah! You have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, no wonder you can't get married!" In the main room, Sun Yuanshi rushed to the back of the two people in front and spat hard.

"Mother." Sun Xing tugged at her sleeve, signaling her to stop talking.

Mrs. Li, who had always wanted to be considerate, couldn't help but lose face at this time, put her chopsticks heavily on the table, and said in a serious voice: "Today's Dragon Boat Festival, my sister-in-law came home to say these mean words."

Sun Da's family had just arrived in the capital and hadn't gained a firm foothold yet, and they had to rely on Sun Heping's family to take care of many things. At this time, seeing Mrs. Li's disgrace, Sun Yuanshi finally restrained himself, and said embarrassingly: "I didn't say anything, who Tell that girl to keep staring at Erlang while eating, my family Erlang has a bright future and will definitely not marry her, I said those things just to let her give up earlier, it is for her own good."

Mrs. Li snorted, and said in her heart, you can look at your own children wherever you want, but in the eyes of others, it doesn't matter.

But you can't say this in front of Sun Xing, otherwise you will slap him in the face. Although her sister-in-law is mean, the child is fine, and she can't blame the child because of an adult.

"Why did Dad keep stopping me just now? That Aunt Sun's words were so distasteful, and she ran on us with both inside and outside. If Dad didn't stop me, I would have gone back a long time ago." On the way back, Wen Shu kicked the stones angrily. road.

Old Man Wen shook his head, "I just wanted to stop you because I knew you would return it."

"Why?" Wen Shu was puzzled.

"She is a woman, and she can be considered an elder if she turns a corner. You are a young lady who has not been out of the cabinet. It is not good to win the reputation with her. Besides, it was just at your uncle's house. If you really quarreled with her , will only make it difficult for your Uncle Sun. Forget it, anyway, we are not serious relatives with them, and we won’t be able to touch them in the future, so we just need less contact.”

Wen Shu thought it was so reasonable, but thinking of what she said just now, Sun Yuanshi couldn't help laughing.

Fortunately, it was a round back, otherwise she would really be wronged to death.

　About calamus wine and the customs of the Dragon Boat Festival in the Song Dynasty:
　　Thanks to the influence of TV dramas, people may think that realgar wine was drunk at the Dragon Boat Festival of the Song Dynasty, but it was not the case. In reality, the Dragon Boat Festival of the Song Dynasty drank calamus wine.

　　People in the Song Dynasty dried the seeds of calamus, ground them into powder, and soaked them in rice wine, which became a good wine for the Dragon Boat Festival.

　　In addition, the Dragon Boat Festival in the Song Dynasty did not hold dragon boat races, but there were more customs such as posing with tigers, painting foreheads, and carrying arm ropes.

　　The last few chapters are transitional chapters, and the plot will be on track in one or two more chapters, and it will be accelerated.
