Chapter 56 What is the so-called

The silent woman and the child with big eyes turned around silently and followed Yue Zheng toward Chen Xian and the others at the door.

When he passed by Chen Xian, he heard the scholar in the robe beside him grinning: "What are you going!"

"Chen Xian!" Song Jinfeng raised her eyebrows and shouted: "Don't meddle in other people's business!"

Chen Xian raised his eyebrows, put it on Yue Zheng's shoulder indifferently, and smiled: "It's already noon. I'll ask Liu Sen to go to Huishiju to buy a few vegetables. Let's gather on this second floor!"

Yue Zheng was stunned. He looked at Chen Xian in shock, and then turned back to Song Jinfeng with an angry face, but couldn't speak.

Song Jinfeng was furious and raised her hand to point at Chen Xian and said, "What do you mean!"

"Hey!" Chen Xian raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you planning to bring the rich young master Mi in the capital and this person--" Speaking of this, he raised his hand to point Su Xinzheng beside him and said, "The young master of the Gao Zhifu family is turned away?"

Su Xinchen was called a deer as a horse by him, but he just rolled his eyes but didn't say anything.

"You... Chen Xian, you are deliberately trying to go against me, right?" Song Jinfeng was stunned by his words, and her phoenix eyes swept around Su Xinchang and Mi Huang's faces. She knew that Mi Huang's family was rich. As for this strong man, was he really the son of the Gao Zhifu?

"How can I say that!" Chen Xian pretended to be innocent and said, "I brought the young master of the Gao Zhifu family and Mr. Mi to spend money together!"

After saying that, he patted Yue Zheng's shoulder, who was still stunned by his side, and smiled and said, "As soon as I saw this, I invited the family to have a meal together. Mr. Mi, you came from the capital. Do you think I was wrong in doing this?"

Mi Huang had been seeing it before, but he didn't know that it was Chen Xian's flattery of his brother-in-law. But when he saw him lifting himself out as a shield, he could only smile bitterly and shake his head, bowing and saying, "Brother Chen is right."

"Hmph!" Song Jinfeng snorted coldly, watching several people walk into the second floor with different expressions, and still couldn't relieve their anger. Can't Chen Xian see this? It was clearly the poor and poor Yue Zheng family came over to surrender to the sister who was the courtesan. I kindly helped to chase people, but this kid actually sang the opposite tune with me!

There were no guests at Huancai Pavilion at noon, and all the elegant rooms were empty at this moment. Chen Xian chose the best western room and ordered Yang Sen to go to Huishiju to buy vegetables. He then slapped his butt on the chair and said with a smile: "Sit as you like, don't be polite!"

Huancai Building is one of the four brothels in Hangzhou City. The decoration in the room is elegant and luxurious. The tables, chairs and screens are made of fine mahogany. Even the wine utensils are exquisitely crafted and carved fine porcelain. At this time, the house is burned with charcoal with osmanthus fragrance, which is fragrant. If there are a few more charming servants sitting there shyly, it will be a bit intoxicating if they don’t drink.

Yue Zheng seemed a little restrained, hesitated for a few seconds before sitting down with a red face, while his wife seemed even more nervous and actually pulled the boy to hide behind the screen.

After Chen Xian and Mi Huang and the other two sat down at the table, Yue Zheng sat down halfway on the chair with restraint. He looked at the three people in front of him and hesitated to Chen Xian and said, "You are Chen Xingzhi, I know you..."

"Oh?" Chen Xian was stunned. This person who loves me had heard of me for a long time?

Yue Zheng seemed to relax a little and slowly opened up his conversation: "When I entered the city today, I passed by the market. I heard many passers-by say that you are the number one talented man in Hangzhou, Wenquxing descended to the earth, and with my sister..."

"Puchi!" Chen Xian couldn't help laughing, interrupted Yue Zheng's words, and said with a smile: "The first talented man, Wenquxing is fake when he descends to earth. Xiaochai and I are in love, but it is true that we are in love with each other!"

Yue Zheng was interrupted by him, but he didn't know how to interfere. But Mi Huang interrupted and said, "Brother Chen has been rude. Now, no one in Hangzhou knows that the Binwen Sheng was shocked by your lyrics yesterday, and his face was filled with tears."

Chen Xian pursed his lips and chose to ignore Mi Huang's compliment. He immediately picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea for Yue Zheng, pushed it in front of him, and said, "I wonder what my brother-in-law is doing when he comes to Hangzhou this time?"

Chen Xian had long agreed that Lu Xiaochai was about to marry into his family. At this moment, he called out the title of "brother-in-law" without thinking anything was wrong.

"Oh..." Yue Zheng sighed, and did not even object to Chen Xian's name. He thought that his thoughts were really too much. He sold his sister to a brothel for a few taels of silver, but now he is in a sudden disaster and actually wants to ask her for help.

Seeing Yue Zheng's desire to speak but stop, Chen Xian smiled: "But it's okay to say it."

"Actually..." Yue Zheng was silent for a long time. He had just made up his mind to tell him the cheap brother-in-law about the difficulties, but the door was knocked.

"Young Master, you bought the vegetables you mentioned!" Liu Sen walked in with four five-layer food boxes twisted with both hands. Fortunately, he was young and strong. If it were his father Liu Changgen to twist, he would have to suffer a lot.

"Um." Chen Xian responded, then stood up and helped Liu Sen put the dishes on the table one by one. Yue Zheng was stunned for a second, and quickly stood up to help.

Chen Xian has always been a person who eats fine and fine food. Now he is to entertain his future brother-in-law, so he naturally cannot do it too simple. The round table of ten people is full of beef with mouth-watering salivation, the West Lake vinegar fish that is rising with hot, and the rock sugar turtle that means "the top". There are more than ten dishes placed on the table, which immediately makes people's index fingers move.

Yue Zheng's son seemed to smell the fragrance, but he no longer ran out shyly. His eyes were staring at the table full of dishes.

"This kid looks very clever, what's the name?" Chen Xian walked over with a smile and reached out to rub the boy's head. The latter was obviously a little nervous and took a step back at a loss to look at Chen Xian.

"Yue Yue!" the boy rolled his eyes and replied crisply.

"Oh! Xiao Yueyue!" Chen Xian smiled happily, then reached out to rub the other person's head and said, "Xiao Yueyue, call brother-in-law---Bah, call uncle!"

"Hahaha--" Su Xinzheng finally couldn't help laughing. When he smiled like this, his voice was buzzing. There was no such thing as the elegance he had pretended to have before, and it immediately revealed the roughness of this guy's original surname.

"Cough cough--" Chen Xian coughed twice. Su Xinchang was forced to wear a scholar-growing jacket that suited the weather today. He was already pretty good, and he scraped off his beards, and he looked like a white-faced scholar. But he didn't know that his true colors would be revealed with a smile.

"Uncle..." Xiao Yueyue raised his head and called out a little shyly, making Chen Xian cry so excited. He immediately took out his purse from his arms, took out a full ingot of silver, stuffed it into the little boy's hand, and grinned: "Hey, this is a gift from my uncle!"

"How did this happen?" Yue Zheng hurriedly stood up and reached out to pull the silver in his son's hand.

Chen Xian waved his hand and smiled, "If you don't accept it, you won't give me the face of this brother-in-law!"

The two refused for a long time before they sat on the dining table. Chen Xian called the civilian woman who had been timid and silent several times, but the latter did not dare to sit on the table.

Chen Xian finally gave up. In this era, the idea of ​​men being superior to women has poisoned women deeply. In the "Daughter Sutra", which was popular in the Ming Dynasty, "Don't laugh at me in a careless way, don't be angry and fight. The body is crooked and the feet are slanted and hurt the dignity, and the appearance is bad," it directly lists that women appear indifferently.

What is bizarre is that this concept is more popular in the more remote and poorer the more popular it is. Perhaps it is because of the actions of the brave young lady of Duke Xu's mansion during the rebellion of Emperor Taizong. He set a feminist example for women from famous families. Just as Yu Zixiao, the daughter of Yu Qian, who is well-educated and polite, often traveled with her father, and talked a lot about elegant things like poetry, songs and essays with Chen Xian on Ziyang Mountain.

Knowing that his uncle and sister-in-law would not change his uncle's idea for a while, Chen Xian simply stopped forcing it. He picked up a piece of West Lake vinegar fish and stuffed it into his mouth, took another sip of wine, and smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, now you can tell me what happened to you when you came to Hangzhou."

"Oh..." The thin and shriveled man put down the chopsticks in his hand and sighed leisurely.
