Heroes of the Sons and Daughters

Chapter 34: Wine and Joy
Mrs. Chu looked at it and asked, "What's the matter today, dressed like this?" He only heard him laughing and said, "Did you say there is a guest here? I said to see the old man and asked me to see you!" Mrs. Chu said, and then Looking at his chest, he saw a big prying pig. Because he fiddled with it, he found that there was a string of eighteen arhat fragrance pearls on his chest, and another pair of pearls. There is an incense plate with early cinnamon, another gourd with purple gold ingots, another bracelet with cinnamon fragrance, another fragrant pouch with Suzhou embroidery, and another hanging Sichuan pepper fragrant lychee. Luozi has a bottle of oriental rose oil.These were brought to him by Deng Jiugong from all over the provinces. There are also a pair of three-color carved gold and a sandalwood mirror, which are all explained on the second button.Mrs. Chu looked at it and said, "My little mother, you have cheated me to death! Why did you bring out all the good and bad things?" He smiled again and said, "Is it all Xiang'er's fault? Why don't you tell me to drop that piece?" Mrs. Chu said with a smile, "It's weird, should I carry it all out? Come with me!" As she said, she pulled his sleeves for him and straightened the flowers.

As he approached, Master An took a closer look, but he had jet-black hair, just more, and the hair was as thick as a finger if he didn't need to comb his hair at the sideburns; he had a fair skin, but he was fatter That face trembles every time he walks, and it looks like a piece of jelly; the eyebrows and eyes are not exposed, but the eyebrows and eyelashes are thicker; the nose and mouth are correct, but the bridge of the nose is a bit sunken, and the lips are thicker; Greasy, fragrant and powdery, white teeth with a mouthful of brushing.It hurts Deng Jiugong, looking at him with happy eyes, and unable to close his mouth with a smile.

Seeing that he was coming, he ran to master an.Deng Jiugong said: "Come here, wait for me to tell you, this master An Er, he is from a family in the banner, because he looks down on me, so he can marry me as a brother." When he said this, he said: "Yes His second uncle wow!"

Jiu Gongdao: "Here it is again, who is the second uncle? You can call him master when you see him!"

Hearing this, he said, "Oh, my lord! Please greet me then." As he spoke, he stretched his arms and greeted a one-legged son with a straight face.Jiu Gongdao: "You still can't say goodbye, why are you making a fuss?" He said, "Master, don't you please?"

Master An also stood up quickly, returned a half-yield, and said, "Very good. This aunt is really thick, and she looks like a man with many children." Jiu Gong said: "Brother, don't call me like that, just call me He's the second girl." The old man said with arrogance: "It sounds like this, I'm afraid there is someone as big as a sister-in-law?" He picked up the conversation again and said: "There is no price, just me, my name is Ertou Mrs. Chu said with a smile: "Second Uncle, do you hear that we are careless? What can you say?" Before he could finish a sentence, he turned away and left.

Mrs. Chu said: "Why are you leaving? I still have something to say." He said: "My aunt is waiting, and I will come." I saw him go for a while, and filled a bag of cigarettes from the house.

The cigarette pouch is more than five feet long, with a seven-inch long Caiyu cigarette mouthpiece, with a green line of abacus on the mouthpiece, and a two-inch-large red gourd on the cigarette pot. There is a cigarette pouch, but there is no cigarette in it, and the cigarette is placed in another bag.I saw him walking over with a cigarette in his mouth, took it out of his mouth, handed it to Master An, and said, "Master smokes." Master An hurriedly bowed and said, "I don't smoke." He said: "It's not Huguang leaves, it's scum, and there are cardamom skins in it." The master said, "I don't know how to smoke." He said, "It's a pity for a bag of cigarettes. Why don't you smoke it? " Mrs. Chu said: "I can't play with your long gun. You put it down first, and I will tell you. I have finished the wine and fruit. When you come back, greet me and send them here. You But here you are making a fuss, those few small businesses are unreliable." Because he asked, "Where did Hei'er go?" He only heard a promise, and four eleven or twelve-year-olds came in. Children: One is dark, one is fat, one is ugly, and one is skinny. They are called Hei'er, Fatty, Chou'er, and Ma'er. They were originally four village boys from Deng Jiugong's family. The old man's obedience is inseparable, so he also brought it when he lived with his daughter. At that moment, Mrs. Chu gave the four of them a few words.

Mrs. Chu and Deng Jiugong said: "Master, please come to our courtyard. I will recruit him. I think he is very restrained here." Master An said first: "Very good. You go with eldest sister " Because he said: "You also come to see my aunt." The young master had no choice but to come over and make a bow, and the aunt also bowed, and said with a smile, "What a young master, he looks so handsome!" Mrs. Chu Said: "Hey, why do you say these things?" He said again: "Grandma, you just say that I love to talk, look at his face, it is red and white, not like the little girl in the empress's temple. Baby?" Hearing this, Deng Jiugong and Mrs. Chu laughed out loud, and even Mr. An couldn't help laughing, and he blushed from embarrassment, and went through the courtyard with Mrs. Chu's family.

Lie Gong, don't mistake this aunt for Xiexieyilu.Since the creation of heaven and earth, there have been such chaotic people.In the world, except for those who are loyal, pure filial piety, bitterness, and righteousness, who are sure to be sincere and heavenly, only this chaotic and unconquerable person is the most cherished by God.He must never have the sigh of being so beautiful and unreliable.I'm afraid it will be higher than that loyal minister, filial son, righteous husband, and chaste wife.It's really exciting!

Don't mention gossip, let's get back to business.But he said that fruits and vegetables were placed here, and Chu Yiguan also came here to take care of them.After leaving, Deng Jiugong took out a pair of large cups and talked and drank with Mr. An.Mr. An, who was drinking in his belly and kept the matter in his heart, secretly planned and said: "Although this old man is rough and bold, he is a man of sophistication, and he must not show the slightest bit to attract his truth." After drinking for three rounds, it happened that Deng Jiugong asked about the master's officialdom.He said: "Brother, you just said that you are resigning from office now. I heard from our relatives and friends in Huai'an that Tan Eryin was read by the censor, and the court sent some kind of Mr. Wu to question him. Brother, you have been reinstated. I think, brother, at your age, you just want to contribute to the court, why do you want to resign and return to your hometown? Besides, why don’t you take the Guantang Road, come from this road?”

Mr. An said: "Ninth brother, you don't know something. I think I have studied hard for half my life, and then I just fawned on being a county magistrate. After half a year, I went through such unexpected troubles. Probably the taste of official career is nothing more than that, it is better to retreat Under the forest, I traveled all over the rivers and lakes, met a few brave heroes, and had a glass of wine with him to talk heart-to-heart, it is a happy thing in life!" Hearing this, Deng Jiugong couldn't help picking up his glass, drank it down, and then stretched out a thumb, Said: "Gao!" The master went on to say: "As for this, it was originally when the child went out of Beijing, Hua Zhong followed all the way and was sick in the shop. When the child arrived in Huaishang, it was a long time since he came from the south. News. This time, I came to this road, thinking that the strong man Chu is his close relative. I asked the official and asked him. Because of the interviews along the road, it was said that the strong man Chu lived in 28 red willow trees. When he arrived there, I just found out that he lives in my elder brother's Baozhuang. I thought: "Since I have arrived at Lingshan, why don't I go to Buddha?" Thinking that my brother was not in the village, even the strong man Chu said he had moved to Dongzhuang, so I followed him all the way here. I happened to meet Hua Zhong outside the village here, met an official, and knew that he was my brother. My dear son-in-law, I just found out that my brother’s elder brother is also here after we talked about it. It’s a rare adventure to meet here, but also to be in love with each other, and make friends with each other with one word!”

Deng Jiugong said: "it turns out that my brother came to the house first in vain, but I was so disappointed that I became more and more uneasy." Mr. an said, "you and I meet a hero, why bother to stick to this behavior! I just talked with my son-in-law about people in China. , Mention a famous hero of a family, I don’t want to ask him, but I don’t know what’s going on.” Deng Jiugong said: “Brother, you can’t see these young men, what they say is what Liu said, it’s useless, and it’s gone when you press it. The person you asked, since you called him a hero, is probably not an unknown person. Tell me about it. Slowly talk about the north and south of the river, even the three rivers, two lakes, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, and even inside and outside the Guan. He's a bit of a listener, and you probably know what he's up to when you mention it, so who do you ask?"

Mr. an said: "this man is not very far away. He is only in the vicinity. It's just that it's been a few years. I don't know where he lives now." After hearing this, Deng Jiugong turned his mouth and said, "really? We Will there be a famous hero in this place? My brother, I have heard the rumors! This place is looking for Shaoxing jar-sized pumpkins and corn cobs with sticks, I’m afraid I can find them. If you want to talk about heroes, bad brother I have lived here for 70 years, and I have never seen that hero with a square head and an eight-lens head!" Master An said seriously: "Brother, the ancients said: 'A city of ten houses must have loyalty.' And The Tao is "a real person doesn't show his face". Where can there be no talent? You can't say that. Even if you say that it is the ninth brother, you "see the sea and look at the water", I am afraid that the younger brother will look down on this person. , probably you should know him too, and no one else deserves to know him except you." Deng Jiugong listened, tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "Well, who?" Because he said to the master, "brother, try to Let me tell you about his name, I will teach you." Mr. An twisted a few mustaches, looked at Deng Jiugong, and said: "This person, people call him 'Thirteen Sisters'!"

Deng Jiugong just heard the word "Thirteen Sisters", put the wine glass in his hand on the table, and said, "brother, how did you know this person?"

Mr. an said: "you ask me how I know this man. You just say that this man is a hero or not? Do you know him or not?" Deng Jiugong sighed before he asked. , Said: "Brother, if you talk about this man, even though he has three locks of hair and two pieces of clothes, he is not only a hero in the makeup team, but also a leader in the hero team. Speaking of it, all men in the world should be ashamed Not only do I recognize him, but he is also my confidant and benefactor!" When Master An heard this, he said to himself, "It's interesting." Yin said, "That said, but he is a young woman after all. Brother, At your age, with such prestige, it is said that he is a confidant, how can he be a benefactor? I would like to ask for details." Jiu Gong said: "The wine is cold, let's change it." He said , Put on hot wine, and the two drink until the glass is dry.

Only the aunt brought two or three women to take care of her, and a few village boys shuttled back and forth to take care of them at a reasonable price, which was quite simple and clean.

While talking, Mrs. Chu brought someone to bring dim sum soup again, and gave way.It turns out that Mr. An doesn't eat much food when drinking, he just eats fresh fruits and side dishes.Deng Jiugong drank like a glutton, and he didn't have time to eat vegetables.Therefore, the snacks were only used up, so Mrs. Chu asked someone to bring them to the aunt and grandma to finish and distribute them to the children.Deng Jiugong said: "Auntie, go and ask for yours." Mrs. Chu said: "They don't need to ask, they even ate the noodles. The uncle just sat down and looked so shy, I was stunned He has matured and eaten for a while, and he is in the middle of the fun with his son-in-law and his uncle." While talking, the aunt and grandma finished eating, and Mrs. Chu said: "My aunt is here, and I too Look at the uncle and go." Jiugong said: "You go, but be careful that they warm up my wine." Mrs. Chu said: "Just go, I'm here."

The aunt walked up to Jiugong with a smile, took out a red lantern flower paper bag from her sleeve, and said, "Old man, look at this." Jiugong opened it and saw that it was a bright red satin embroidery made by Suzhou. Small foot sachet, an azurite flat mouth smoker.Jiu Gong asked him, "Do you want to do this?" He said, "Can I give it to the uncle?" What is it with a heavy head?" He said: "How can I give it to him empty-handed? I put a hundred coins in it for him." Jiugong laughed loudly.Mrs. Chu said: "Don't laugh at him. Well, tell him to go out and do some activities!" Saying this, she sat on the side.
