Flowers are expensive

Chapter 25
Everyone laughed again.Next to him was a young man who was about the same age as Dongping, named Zhang Shunnian.He pointed at Dong Ping and smiled at Li Hua: "Sister-in-law, this kid's words are too unnatural, why don't you drink him tonight, and let him crawl into the ground when he sees you in the future!"

Lihua always likes to be lively, and she is a little crazy.Hearing this, she patted the table proudly, got up and said with a smile, "That's all right, I'll toast him two or three bowls right now?" Dongping was afraid, because he really couldn't drink, so he waved his hand begging for mercy: " Sister-in-law, please forgive me! Don’t bully me, I’ll walk around next time I see you, okay?” Shunnian laughed happily, “How can I do that? Sister-in-law Lihua is new to the village, This is the first time for everyone to get together, and it is only right to pour you a few bowls!"

"You stupid bamboo pole, do you want to kill me?" Dong Ping scolded Shun Nian with a smile.

Lihua was about to go there with the jug, when Mrs. Xiao suddenly said, "Shunnian's words are quite right. When Lihua is new to the village, it is also appropriate to pour a bowl for Dongping. However, logically, it shouldn't be just for Dongping. Rather, it is reasonable to start with Manager Ma and walk around next to each other!"

"Oh, Lihua, after walking around like this, can't she get drunk?" Grandma Yun frowned slightly and hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law Xiao, you don't bully the newcomers like this, do you?" Sister-in-law Xiao smiled and said, "How can this be called bullying? It’s not that your old man just saw that Lihua can drink a lot, that’s her ability, I’m going to cheer her on! Who said that you’d get drunk after walking around? You forgot, thinking back to the first year when our housekeeper was newly married Coincidentally, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the master just came back, and set up several tables in the yard, so she walked around with a jar of wine, and I didn't see her drunk!"

Mrs. Cao felt as if she had been filled with honey when she heard this, but she said modestly, "Oh, sister-in-law Xiao, when did that happen? I don't even remember, do you still remember?"

"How can I forget that?" Mrs. Xiao said happily, "I have never seen a woman who can drink better than you in my life. What did the master praise you at that time? Oh, yes, the towel is not allowed Smoked eyebrows!" As soon as the words were finished, the soup in Huang Ying's mouth spurted out, and she laughed loudly.Hong Ling couldn't help but covered her mouth and smiled and said: "Sister-in-law Xiao, it's not that the handkerchief doesn't let smoked eyebrows, it's that women don't let men have eyebrows."

Sister-in-law Xiao was so embarrassed that she hurriedly argued, "Whoever won't let it go! Anyway, the master praised the housekeeper like this! By the way, Lihua, hurry up and offer a bowl to everyone one by one! It's also called Shunnian Dongping Those boys have seen your drinking capacity, and they will give your family a big face!"

Mrs. Cao looked at Lihua with a smirk while drinking the soup, and the others also looked at Lihua together.Lihua glanced at Manting, and the bad boy was eating rabbit meat as if he was sitting on a Diaoyutai, as if he had no intention of reaching out to give her a hand.She made a quick calculation in her mind, and after four children and two women and children who couldn't drink, there were nineteen left!If she wants to offer a bowl to everyone next to each other, then she is really not far from death!This sister-in-law Xiao really knows how to play tricks!
"What's the matter, Lihua?" Sister-in-law Xiao said again, "Don't you dare? Oh, just now our steward Ma boasted that you are a wine general! You can't let him down!"

Mrs. Cao looked at Lihua and smiled contemptuously, and while feeding her three-year-old son rabbit meat, she said, "Sister-in-law Xiao, you are so serious, what are you trying to coax? Lihua and the others have only been here for a long time, and they are a bit awkward in what they say and do. Knowing the rules is unavoidable, I don’t care about it as a housekeeper, you are still in a hurry for me?” She turned her head and said to Lihua with a bit of a master’s tone, “Hurry up and sit down, no one is forcing you You have to walk around."

"That's true," Mrs. Xiao flattered Cao Shi without losing the opportunity, "Not everyone can drink like you. After all, you are a housekeeper, no one else can compare."

"Ouch," Cao said with a smile all over her face, "Did sister-in-law Xiao eat rabbit meat or honey today? Every sentence is sweeter than every sentence!"

"Where, my mouth is stupid!"

Listening to the two people singing together, Grandma Yun and Duan Qigu simply stopped answering and concentrated on eating their own food, but in their hearts, no one called Sister-in-law Xiao a sycophant.Duan Qigu secretly tugged on Lihua's skirt, and whispered: "Fuck you, don't bother with those boys!"

"That's right," Mrs. Cao said, casting a glance at Lihua, "but Dongping and Shunnian were frightened, just joking, how can I really let you go around? The whole court has to scold me!"

Lihua held the wine bowl and said solemnly: "It's not that I dare not, it's just..."

"Just what?" Cao raised her eyebrows and asked, "Since you dare, why don't you walk around and show us?"

"I can't listen to you about this," Lihua shook her head lightly and smiled, "Even if Steward Ma asks me to walk around, I have to ask if our family is full first?"

Man Ting was drinking wine with Hai Tang, when he heard Li Hua say this, he choked on the wine in his throat and coughed twice.Dongping yelled strangely: "Hey, brother Manting, the tutor is really good! I have to ask you first before drinking!" Manting didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and turned his head to look at Lihua in bewilderment.

"Isn't that right?" Lihua said in a serious manner, "My mother taught me since I was a child, that a wife is based on her husband, marry a chicken as a chicken, marry a dog as a dog, and you have to listen to your husband in everything. Our family is full of people. Here, even if Master Wang asks me to toast, I have to first ask him if he agrees or not!"

The men uttered strange screams again, which made Manting a little embarrassed.Cao originally wanted to provoke General Lihua, but she never wanted to provoke such remarks from Fu Gang, and it was a bit difficult to speak.

Lihua blinked her big innocent eyes and asked, "What are you laughing at? Could it be that you don't have this rule here? My daughter-in-law pours wine for whoever she likes, and you don't care? Hey, do I still respect this wine or not?" Brother Man Ting?" She purposely pronounced the last three words sweetly, causing everyone to have goosebumps and burst into laughter again.Dongping imitated Lihua's accent and approached Manting and asked: "Brother Manting, tell me if you want to be respectful or not, so that sister-in-law can stand up!" Manting was a little embarrassed, and quickly glanced at Lihua. Said: "Sit back, no one will serve you when you are drunk."

"Yes, Brother Man Ting." Li Hua responded with a smile, sat back and said to Cao Shi, "Housekeeper, have you seen? My man won't let me toast, I dare not refuse his words." Listen, next time!"

Cao's anger is not, nor is it to criticize, who let the man Xie Manting speak up?She rolled her eyes and simply ignored Ewha.Seeing that Mrs. Cao was not happy, Mrs. Xiao's flattery came up again, and she hurriedly said, "Ewha is so easy to make excuses, if you can't drink well, just say it, no one will laugh at you, and even moved the whole court out. "

"Is it wrong to listen to your man?" Lihua asked with an innocent expression, "Sister-in-law Xiao, tell me, is it wrong? You don't listen to your man?" Sister-in-law Xiao was about to argue, but Ma Liuqing gave a soft drink and said, "Sister-in-law Xiao, you are a person who can't drink, what are you doing coaxing others to toast? Otherwise, why don't you just walk around with the jar of wine?"

Mrs. Xiao was a little dissatisfied with Ma Liu's words, so she didn't dare to say anything more.After eating, Mrs. Xiao and her husband Dongxiang went back to their room.As soon as Dongxiang closed the door, he scolded her: "You've lost your mind today, haven't you? What are you doing asking Qin Lihua to toast?"

"Isn't it all about expressing anger for the housekeeper? Ever since that girl came, the housekeeper's anger has not been smooth. Tonight, I see that she intends to make Qin Lihua look ugly, so why don't you give me a push?"

Dongxiang pointed at her and scolded: "You pushed Ma Liu down! You sat with your back on his back, and you didn't see his face, he looked like a pig's liver! Qin Lihua even sat down, and you chewed that Niu Cao's mouth is still saying, who gave you a few copper coins to tell you to tell a story? You really have no eyesight!"

Mrs. Xiao was so surprised, she quickly asked, "We're just talking about Qin Lihua, why is Ma Liu so angry?" Dongxiang kicked the shoes he took off behind the door, sat on the edge of the bed, rubbed his feet and said, "He Can you not be angry? You picked the biggest thorn in his heart and said that if he didn't lose your face and yell at you on the spot, he would be worthy of your eight generations of ancestors!"

"Hey, the more I talk about it, the more I don't understand it!"

"You were the first to mention the housekeeper's toast to the master, right?"

"I mentioned it. Isn't this boasting that the housekeeper can drink? Isn't that wrong?"

"Hmph, there are some things you don't know. Qin Lihua is a bird, and everyone knows it when she is married. Before toasting, she should ask her man whether she should respect it or not, but your housekeeper wanted to show that she could drink it. She didn't even ask Ma Liu, so she took the wine jar and went for a walk. That's all, who would have thought that that night, she walked around the master shaking the two lumps on her chest, and the master would see I fell in love with her, and I want to hug her all night! Don't you know what our master is? Otherwise, what are those who raised Qin Lihua doing? You said you mentioned the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, didn't you? Slap yourself in the face?"

"My God!" Mrs. Xiao asked in surprise and amused, "Master really put the housekeeper...to sleep?"

"If it's true, it's not her, Cao Meizhi, who is the housekeeper now! Guaranteed, the master will leave her behind, and Ma Liu will divorce her!"

"But the master has spoken, can she hide?"

"Hmph, I didn't think of it at the time. I thought the master could really subdue her. Who would have thought that she is really a strong person, and she really kicked the master. She lay on the ground and couldn't move for a long time!"

Sister-in-law Xiao covered her mouth and smiled and asked, "Where did you kick? Can't move for a long time?"

"Where else can it be?" Dongxiang said with a wicked smile, "Where is the place to kick!"

"Oh, Master has suffered a great loss!" Sister-in-law Xiao patted her thigh and asked excitedly, "What happened later? Master didn't settle accounts with her?"

"Master, how dare you to make a fuss about this matter? Besides, the young master was also alarmed at the time. The young master is a good person. He gave the master a few words, took some silver and came out to seal Ma Liu. This matter is covered up. Yes. What else can the master say? I can only endure the pain and go back to take the medicine!"

The couple suppressed their voices and sniggered heartily for a while.Mrs. Xiao asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Only I, Uncle Cui and Ma Liu know about this matter, and no one else knows. I want to tell you earlier. Once you speak out, can we still have a good life in this village? Ma Liu and Cao Meizhi You must give us little shoes to wear! If you don’t mention it tonight, I have no intention of talking about it.”

Sister-in-law Xiao patted Dongxiang and said, "I really worried you to death! My mouth is not the big mouth of your third aunt, can I talk about it? It's the rotten stomach! You said tonight Ma Liu Will you take a look at Cao Meizhi's face?"

"It's a thorn in every way, and there are some people who are unhappy. But the master hasn't been back to the village for a few years, and maybe he will come back this year!"

"How do you know?" Dongxiang pointed his foot to the opposite side and said: "Aren't those three little hooves still here? If the master is really thinking about it, it's not bad to come here to steal one! I can tell you, master If you really send someone to send a letter saying that you want to come back, you should send Xining to your mother's house quickly, don't let the master see it, so that the old man won't worry about it!"

"You're right!" Mrs. Xiao nodded with a serious face, "We in Xining are handsome. Who in this village doesn't boast? Wu Matchmaker came to ask me a few days ago, Ask if you plan to marry Xining first."
