The dinner was very lively, because apart from the Chinese New Year, there were more people today. Today is not a suitable day to have one table in the front hall and one table in the back hall like during the Chinese New Year, but it is indeed a bit inconvenient for everyone to sit together and eat together.
Finally, Qiaoqiao remembered the bead curtains I saw when I went to the Liu Mansion, saying that wealthy families used bead curtains to separate men and women.
Xiao Feng took it for granted, but he never thought that he was from a wealthy family, let alone that his family would need this thing, so he didn't prepare at all.
In the end, An Qingyue, who was the most familiar on the street, found a passing policeman and asked him to go to a shop selling bead curtains and buy a few. Of course, the money was paid by Xiao Feng.
The dinner was held in the back hall because it was closer to the big kitchen. Five bead curtains are lined up in a row, plus a screen, dividing the room into two parts, translucent and opaque.
Although men and women do not meet each other, they can still toast each other through the bead curtain, which is very interesting. An Qingyue originally refused to sit at a woman's table. The reason was quite reasonable: she was exposed on the street all day long, was she still afraid of men looking at her?
But Xiao Feng whispered something, and she ran to the woman's table obediently, and her running posture was a little different.
"Do you want Zhang Wuxin to think that you are a tough female catcher, or a beautiful girl?" Zhang Wuxin didn't feel anything, and just looked at the junior sister's back with concern.
"What are you looking at?" Xiao Feng noticed.
"Junior sister, did your waist and legs get injured while practicing? Why are your waist and legs not strong enough and twisting around when you run?" Xiao Feng almost sprayed Zhang Wuxin's face with a sip of wine.
Qi Jiguang looked a little worried. Seeing that everyone was happy, he didn't say anything, but Xiao Feng noticed it.
"What's wrong with you? Just tell me what you have to say, and there are no outsiders." Apart from the Qi family's servants and Zhang Wuxin, the only one sitting here was Wang Tuiguan, because Lan's father insisted on guarding the door because Qi An was older.
Xiao Feng's words made Wang Tuiguan feel warm. Although he considered himself one of Xiao Feng's, he was not sure whether Xiao Feng really recognized him. Now he was finally at ease.
"Brother Xiao, I went to see Brother Hu the day before yesterday. He said that he had submitted a memorial and asked to go to Taiyuan. But Long Live has been unwell these days and has not held a court meeting. And the rumors coming from the cabinet seem to want to transfer Brother Hu. Go to the coast." Xiao Feng picked up a piece of beef and chewed it slowly. No one at the table dared to make a sound for fear of disturbing him.
On the contrary, the women's table didn't know the situation and still had a lot of fun. Xiao Feng remembered that Hu Zongxian did become famous in the coastal area, but the result of the calligraphy test asked him to go to Taiyuan. There must be some problems here.
Xiao Feng has great trust in the Heavenly Book of Cangjie. In order to gain a foothold in this era, apart from his own wisdom, he almost relies on calligraphy skills. If he doesn't believe in the Heavenly Book, who can he trust?
"Tell Hu Zongxian and ask him to submit a new memorial. Just say that he asked me to take a calligraphy test. It was I who told him that going to Taiyuan can help the country." Qi Jiguang was surprised. With Xiao Feng's current status, he made ordinary friends. The officials were acceptable, but Hu Zongxian was the censor with the right to take over.
This official position is said to be a civilian official, but if something happens to the general, he can take over the local military power, so he can be regarded as half a military general.
What's more, the Xuanda Line is the front line and is so close to the capital. Qiu Luan and Hu Zongxian are the border generals who belong to the capital's defense line.
It has always been a taboo for the emperor for the ministers of the inner court to make friends with the generals in private! What's more, you can just keep dating in private, and it won't matter if the emperor favors you.
By saying this blatantly, isn't this embarrassing the emperor?
"Brother Xiao, is this appropriate?"
"Just tell Hu Zongxian like this. It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand. Just do it." At this time, Wangcai rushed in from the door and rushed to Qi Jiguang's legs.
Wang Cai is the only guy in Xiao Mansion besides Xiao Feng who can run around in the front and back halls. Because Zhang Wuxin focused on practicing martial arts and was only interested in dogs, the person closest to him in the front yard was Qi Jiguang.
Qi Jiguang liked dogs and was very tolerant of Wangcai. He also strongly recommended that everyone leave a small flap door in their house to facilitate Wangcai's entry and exit.
Because there was a guard post outside the Xiao Mansion and Zhang Wuxin was inside, there was no need to worry about safety issues. Moreover, the small door needed to make a fortune was impossible for an individual to pass through, so Xiao Feng did not object.
Wangcai is obviously older now than when he first came here. He must have entered puberty. Anyone he catches will be harassed.
Now, he grabbed the meat and bones thrown by Qi Jiguang in his mouth. After thinking about it, he still couldn't restrain his impulse. He saved Qi Jiguang's legs and started to move.
Qi Jiguang smiled and cursed, then lightly kicked the little guy away. Wangcai rolled on the ground in disappointment, eager to try on Xiao Feng's legs.
Xiao Feng glared at Wangcai. He usually didn't interact much with Wangcai, and Wangcai was still afraid of him, so he backed away with a whimper.
Look at Zhang Wuxin, who is obviously untouchable, Qi An, who is older than the bones in his mouth, Wangcai passed the bones across the bead curtain and ran to the women's territory.
Then there came one after another screams and laughter from the other side of the bead curtain, mixed with Zhang Yunqing's angry scolding.
"Wangcai, you are so embarrassed!" Wang Yingxiang lightly kicked Wangcai with her feet and laughed breathlessly.
"Sister Yunqing, my family has raised dogs before, but I have never seen such a rogue Wangcai. Did you teach him?" Zhang Yunqing was a little panicked by this sudden soul torture, for fear of the one next door. Xiao Feng will believe it when he hears it.
"Nonsense, how could I... Well, when Wangcai is at home, he always follows my father..." Amidst the joyful laughter, the dinner was over. An Qingyue pulled Zhang Wuxin and said a few words, and then Take Zhang Wuxin away.
Before Zhang Wuxin left, he shouted to Xiao Feng: "No need to leave the door for me." Xiao Feng nodded. With Zhang Wuxin's Qinggong, leaving the door was really looking down on him.
He could rush up the three-meter-high wall with just one run, which was better than the parkour masters Xiao Feng had seen in later generations.
Of course, the premise is that all the Jin Yiwei's hidden sentries know Zhang Wuxin, otherwise, he is afraid that dozens of hidden weapons will fly out from all dark corners when he is halfway through the run.
Then Lao Wang also said goodbye, calling his daughter and asking her to go home with him. Qiaoqiao quickly ran out and declared: "Sister Yingxiang is drunk. She can't ride in the car, she will vomit." Lao Wang frowned, looking like he didn't trust Qiaoqiao.
"How much wine did she drink? How could she be drunk?" Qiaoqiao gestured with a huge bowl with her hand.
"So much!" Lao Wang was shocked: "No way? How can she have such a drinking capacity?" Zhang Yunqing's voice came from inside.
"Yingxiang, wake up, wake up, you just drank a bowl of glutinous rice fish soup, it's not like that, right?" Then came Wang Yingxiang's confused voice.
"I can't stand it anymore. I'm dizzy and nauseous. I can't move. I'll vomit if I move." Then there was a very small voice from gritted teeth. Only Zhang Wuxin, who had profound internal energy, could hear it.
"Sister Yunqing, if you dare to meddle in other people's business, I will strangle you to death in bed at night." Although Lao Wang was very suspicious, he couldn't be sure whether his daughter really drank too much, so he could only stand there awkwardly. It was Qiao Niang who stepped forward and made the final decision.
"If Yingxiang wants to stay for two days, just stay for two days. It doesn't matter if the three little sisters live together." Wang Tuiguan knew that all the guarantees his daughter had made at home were invalid, but there was no way to stay there. Now that I was settling accounts with my daughter, I had no choice but to say goodbye to Xiao Feng with a wry smile.
When he returned home, his wife complained again, and Wang Tuiguan comforted her with a wry smile.
"Both of us know our daughter's thoughts, and it's not impossible to stop her. But my daughter's temper is actually quite stubborn. It's hard to change what she's determined about."
"But is the daughter of a dignified sixth-grade Shuntian Prefecture official going to be a concubine?" Mrs. Wang's wife was very melancholy.
Wang Tuiguan's wry smile became even more helpless.
"If you really want to be a concubine, I can accept it. What I'm afraid of is that Xiao Feng will just hang around like this, and my daughter is so infatuated. I'm afraid that she will just spend it like this without any reason. That's really unacceptable to me." The wife of the Wang family bit out. Biting her lip, she came up with an idea.
"Master, no matter how you say it, you are still a sixth-grade official. Although our family is much different from Mr. Xiao's, he has saved your life and is not an ordinary friend. Can you make this clear? Say, would you like Mr. Xiao to give me a title?" Wang Tuiguan was silent for a long time, and finally straightened his back.
"I originally planned to work for him, but I didn't plan to bring you with me. Since Xiang'er is so persistent, I'll find an opportunity to make it clear to Mr. Xiao. If he really doesn't have this intention, then no matter how infatuated Xiang'er is, we She has to give up this thought. I think Master Xiao will definitely help!" The wife of the Wang family was overjoyed, and she looked at her husband who looked much more majestic than usual.
This is how women look at men. They not only look at your looks and figure, but more importantly, whether you are responsible and worthy of being relied upon.
Madam Wang dimmed the oil lamp very dimly, then took off her coat and placed it on the chair beside the bed.
"Master, this is the new bellyband I bought for the New Year. Do you like it?" Wang Tuiguan spent New Year's Eve at Xiao Feng's house since he was released from prison.
After returning home, my daughter ran around and made out with my wife in secret. How had the two of them ever had such a carefree world?
Seeing that my wife still looks charming under the flickering lamp, her pink bellyband brings out the shyness of a girl, and she deliberately covers half of it with a quilt, making it slightly visible.
Wang Tuiguan jumped further than Zhang Wu's heartbeat.
"Good-looking, everything you said is right, I will do whatever you ask me to do!" At this time, Xiao Feng was in his room, approaching Qiao Niang with red eyes, his face full of frenzied desire, even more so than Lao Wang's eager.
Qiao Niang was trembling all over, trying hard to calm herself down.
"Master, don't make a sound. I will do whatever you ask me to do."
