Zhao Chonglin and the Wu family had no enmity in the past, and they used to go to Chengtai Restaurant from time to time to eat and drink, but they were still at the door and there were guys who came up to greet them."
Second Master Zhao, you are a rare guest, are you still upstairs in the private room?"
Zhao Chonglin nodded, "It's the same." ”After all these years, Zhao Chonglin has long been short of silver to spend, not to mention that he is not a stingy person, since he said that he had a treat, he must be a good invitation.Chengtai Restaurant is definitely one of the most famous restaurants in Yunyan County, and the building has hired a storyteller and a troupe to increase the liveliness all year round, and sometimes it is just to listen to the story and watch the play and want to come and sit down.Zhao Chonglin sat in the private room with one window facing the street outside, and the other side facing the lobby stage, and now it is the storyteller surnamed Qin who is talking about the heroic deeds of the old town Nanwang who led the troops to quell the chaos, and at that time he was not surnamed Chu on this day.Yu Changshun and the others all knew that the eldest brother was not just here to drink today, so they opened their mouths and ordered the signature dish, "Hurry up and serve the food, the gentlemen are hungry and waiting to eat." ”As soon as the guy left, Yu Changshun picked up the wine jug and filled it for the eldest brother first, and then greeted the others with a smile, "While we can still eat now, we will have a good meal open, and we won't be able to eat this bite in a few days." ”He also sighed, "Don't say it, these signature dishes of Chengtai Restaurant are really good, and you can't make this taste in other places." ”Zhao Chonglin also raised his eyebrows and raised a glass first, he obviously agreed with Yu Changshun's words, these dishes in Chengtai Restaurant are indeed doing well.He is not so stingy that he doesn't even let people eat a meal because he is uncomfortable, let alone mention that he is not allowed to mention this talk, one yard is one yard, and Zhao Erye will never lack bearing.After the food is served, you should eat and drink, no one is lame and says something unhappy, and when you drink it, you volunteer to say that you will help pick up your sister-in-law when the eldest brother gets married.Zhao Chonglin looked at them one by one with his eyelids, and said with a smile, "Okay." ”All of you here are brothers who have worked hard with him for many years, and they have a lifelong friendship.was drinking, someone saw two people coming in at the gate, and immediately swallowed wine and leaned on the window and shouted, "Brother Liu, Miss Yang, come quickly." ”As soon as he heard the names of the two, Zhao Chonglin also put a wine glass and looked at it, but only saw his shoulders shaking.Yu Changshun, who was sitting next to him, beckoned the people around him to come out with two positions, and it happened that the people had also arrived."
Big brother, Qiu Niang, why are you here?
Not busy today?
”Zhao Chonglin stood up and personally pulled a chair for Liu Chengfeng, and Yu Changshun had already pulled out a chair for Yang Qiu'e.The two of them congratulated first before taking their seats, "Didn't I hear that you were going to get married and made a special trip to find you, but I missed it, I heard that you came here, and you don't tell us about such a big thing as your kid's marriage, I have to drink a few more glasses of your wedding wine." ”Liu Chengfeng is not blaming Zhao Chonglin, he is confident that his relationship with Zhao Chonglin will never be hidden.And Yang Qiu'e asked him directly and heartily: "But the girl you miss in your heart?"
”Zhao Chonglin's concern for Meng Jiaojiao's thoughts has long been no secret among his brothers and friends, and they all know the fact that he was rejected last month.Last month, they drank several meals with him for this matter, and persuaded him that there were more good girls in the world, and let him choose his favorite, but the wedding date was set in only one month.They also asked this after listening to a little rumor, and now when they see Zhao Chonglin's red face full of spring breeze, they know that they must be eight or nine and ten.Sure enough, as soon as he mentioned it, he saw that Zhao Chonglin's eyebrows and corners of his eyes were filled with joy, and he grinned with a big mouth, and he didn't talk nonsense."
On the tenth day of the next month, when the wine is open to drink."
Zhao Chonglin's relationship with them can be traced back to ten years ago, when he left home to find a way to survive in the drought, and when he almost starved to death and was picked up and put in the pot, it was Yang Lao who saved him.There are bandits in the old Longtan behind Matou Mountain, the people of the entire Yunyan County know the facts, Zhao Chonglin, who was only fifteen years old at the time, entered the old Longtan for the first time, thinking that he would be torn up, and then the bodies of the vicious bandits were divided and boiled to fill his stomach.After all, in those days, every household had no surplus food, and many people who sold their children and daughters starved to death, and even corpses would be picked up and cooked.Their family had long run out of food, otherwise he wouldn't have been forced to secretly leave home to find a way to live.That year, the sister-in-law was pregnant with Xin'er, and everyone was hungry, and the bulging belly looked particularly weird, and the little four, who was only three or four years old, was so hungry that he couldn't cry, so he thought that he could save them food when he left home.After staying in Laolongtan for a few days, I found that they were not bandits who robbed houses, but just a group of ordinary people who fled the war in the early years, and they farmed in the mountains to support themselves.It is said that they are just ordinary countrymen who can only farm, they are all men and women who have martial arts, even children who are only seven or eight years old.On weekdays, in addition to farming, they also hunt in the mountains, and occasionally take their prey outside the mountains to exchange for necessities, and the rest of their self-sufficiency is completely sufficient.Later, he learned that the family of the old Yang family was also a wealthy gentry back then, but it was only forced by the war to protect the stability of the people that they had to hide in the mountains.In the troubled times, some people were taken in and taught them martial arts, so that they could continue the bloodline more steadily in the troubled times.When the Great Chu was founded for fifteen years, they thought that the world could be stable, so they wanted to go out of the mountains and return to their homeland, but they did not expect that a major drought blocked their way back to their hometown.Later, fortunately, the old man knew about it, and he persuaded the old man Yang to take everyone to hundreds of miles away to raise food and bring it back for emergency, but he didn't expect that the old man Yang encountered a large group of bandits on the way back from transporting the grain, and unfortunately died when he confronted him.Sometimes Zhao Chonglin also thinks that if he hadn't persuaded the old master to go out of the mountain, there would have been an accident, and they were still living a stable life in the mountains.He can't live with the old master, and he can't stand Yang Qiu'e.The old boss entrusted Qiu Niang to him before he was angry, but he has not fulfilled his responsibilities over the years.Seeing that she has become an old girl from a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl to an old girl and has not yet married, he never dared to dream of being an old master, and she had no face.Zhao Chonglin glanced at Qiu Niang, and sighed secretly in his heart, as long as his eyes were not blind, he could see that Qiu Niang liked Liu Chengfeng, otherwise she would not have been staying in the Soldiers and Horses Division all these years.However, Liu Chengfeng became a relative under the arrangement of his family in his early years, and now he is the father of four children.In private, Zhao Chonglin asked Qiu Niang, "Why don't I go and tell the eldest brother, if you make him a concubine, can the eldest brother still be willing?"
”Liu Chengfeng didn't have Qiu Niang in his heart, and he could see it, otherwise he wouldn't have protected her everywhere all these years, and the people she brought out were always in her hands.He also asked his eldest brother in private, but the two of them said the same thing.
