After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 335 Farewell Wine

After Haitang met Zhou Wenjun sisters, Peng Yuqi and others, she found out that the Jin family was not talking about the marriage between the Jin and Peng families this time. Shan's cousin, Jin Erlang, the eldest son of Jin Erjiu.

In this way, whether it is an excuse for delaying because Jin Shan failed to get married and was injured, or he declined by saying that the two had already discussed getting married once before but failed and should not discuss it again, it will not work. .

The Jin family's argument is still the same as before, what is more, what is Mrs. Jin's wish, the younger generation should be filial and obedient to the elders, what is Mrs. Peng's wish during her lifetime, Peng Yuqi should fulfill her filial piety for her mother, etc. wait. Peng Yuqi's ears have become calloused after listening to these words in the past two months. If the Jin family wants to PUA her again, there is no way they can succeed. It's just that she is impatient to continue entertaining the Jin family.

Peng Yuqi had no intention of falling out with her mother-in-law, but the Jin family shamelessly insisted on getting involved without even blinking. Even if she worried about her late mother's face, she didn't want to wrong herself anymore.

Originally, according to the plan, her father Peng Tongzhi set off from Ganzhou after the spring, and it would take at least half a month to several months to reach Chang'an. As the weather got warmer in March, the father and daughter reunited and then headed to Taiyuan, Shanxi to take up their posts. But now she didn't have the patience to wait any longer, so she said goodbye to her friends in advance.

She decided to go to Taiyuan first to make arrangements for the father and daughter's new residence in the next few years. She could also find out some news about Shanxi Dusi in advance, so that her father could live a comfortable life directly after taking office and no longer have to worry about trivial matters. , and can quickly integrate into the new environment.

Haitang originally thought that she was here to help her friends with advice, but she never expected that she was here to bid farewell to Peng Yuqi. Zhou Wenjun ordered a banquet from a nearby restaurant and held a banquet in another courtyard. Peng Yuqi decided to leave the day after tomorrow. There was no time for them to get together again, so she had to drink the farewell wine today.

Zhou Yijun looked shocked and whispered: "Why is this...it's hard to walk on the road during this season..."

Zhou Wenjun said: "Yuqi just left Chang'an first. You can walk slower on the road. When you get to the place where one of Peng Tongzhi's close friends is working, you can also visit him and stay for a few days. The key is to avoid the Jin family so that they don't have to worry about it again." Persistent."

Judging from what happened to Tang Hui, the Jin family dared to do whatever it took to get a prominent marriage. Jin Shan also considers himself a reasonable scholar and likes to use his "talent" and "affection" to persuade girls to nod and marry willingly. Second Uncle Jin's son may not have such patience.

Judging from what Peng Yuqi heard about Jin Erlang's deeds when she stayed in the Jin family, he was not a serious person who followed rules and etiquette. He had already had a generous roommate in the house, and he was a girl who was born in the family in a semi-forced manner. . If the Jin family hadn't always held Jin Shan's precious egg in their hands and ignored him so much, I'm afraid he would have become a notorious playboy. He didn't do anything extraordinary like bullying men and dominating women. It wasn't because he had good character, but because he didn't have money or followers, and he didn't have the capital to be a playboy, and his family wouldn't condone him messing around outside.

But even so, when he met Peng Yuqi several times at Mrs. Jin's place, he often talked about her in private. At that time, the Jin family had already agreed that Peng Yuqi would become Jin Shan's wife. Jin Erlang had no intention of stealing the marriage. If he could do such a thing, how could he be a gentleman?

Jin Shan only made Peng Yuqi feel impatient, but Jin Erlang directly made her feel disgusted. She didn't want to bet on the character of Uncle Jin's family, let alone take any risks, so she simply left.

However, in order to prevent the Jin family from jumping into trouble after hearing the news, she decided to set off quickly without giving the Jin family a chance to react. Zhou Wenjun chose to hold a banquet in another courtyard to farewell his girlfriends in order to prevent anyone from leaking the news within the Zhenguo Palace and letting the Jin family know.

After Haitang figured out the current situation, she sighed and did not persuade Peng Yuqi.

There was fruit wine on the table. She poured a glass and solemnly paid tribute to Peng Yuqi: "Sister Peng, I wish you a smooth journey and everything goes well after you arrive in Taiyuan. Peng Tongzhi has a stable career and a smooth career."

Peng Yuqi took the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, and solemnly thanked Haitang: "Thank you for your kind words. I also wish my sister everything goes well in Chang'an and the family is healthy."

Zhou Yijun also toasted Peng Yuqi with a glass of wine: "I also wish Sister Peng a safe journey. I hope that when you arrive in Taiyuan, you can meet a true husband and never have to worry about the entanglement of the Jin family again!"

Peng Yuqi's face suddenly turned red, and Zhou Wenjun also snickered: "That's right, what's the use of always hiding from the Jin family? When Yuqi has a real husband, you don't have to worry anymore. !" Peng Yuqi glared at her best friend bitterly, took the glass of wine offered by Zhou Yijun, blushed and hesitated for a while before drinking it, and then wished Zhou Yijun: "I also wish sister Yijun can find a good son-in-law as soon as possible and stay in Chang'an forever. "

Zhou Yijun blushed and reached out to pinch her: "I wish Sister Peng well, but why is Sister Peng laughing at me instead?!"

Peng Yuqi smiled and dodged her hand: "It's not a joke. Aren't you about to say goodbye? I'm serious about my good words. If you don't believe me, ask your sister?"

Zhou Wenjun grinned at the side. Not only did he not mean to help the girl from the small clan, he nodded frequently to express his support for his best friend's speech.

Zhou Yijun was so angry that she stamped her feet: "Sister, you are older than me! Even if I want to get married, you have to go out first!"

But Zhou Wenjun waved his hand nonchalantly: "Marry whoever you want, sooner or later it will happen. It's not up to me to make the decision on this kind of thing. But Yijun, your husband, I have to talk it over in front of the elders." I have to choose a reliable candidate for you! Otherwise, you don’t know how you will be bullied with such a personality!"

Zhou Yijun's face was so red that she couldn't even look at it.

Begonia happily ate melon beside her. She is not yet old enough to talk about marriage, and the Haixiya couple have no intention of discussing her marriage. She can sit on the wall and watch other people's dramas, occasionally fanning the flames, and sometimes trying to persuade them to back off. A small farewell banquet for four people was more lively than the New Year's banquet at Zhenguo Duke's Mansion.

By the time we had enough wine and food, it was almost dark.

Zhou Wenjun always acted with dignity and thoughtfulness. When he saw this, he specially allocated a few people from his bodyguard to drive Zhou Yijun and Haitang home without letting them go on the road by themselves.

Haitang looked at the sky and accepted Zhou Wenjun's kindness. When she got home, she didn't need to have dinner. She went to the upper room in the main courtyard to confess to her grandmother Ma, and then planned to go back to the backyard to rest.

When Ma learned that Peng Yuqi was leaving Chang'an early, she didn't have any suspicion: "Peng Tongzhi was going to Taiyuan to take up his post. He had no other female relatives in his family to take care of the general affairs. His daughter went to Taiyuan in advance to take care of things. She was also filial. It's such a weather. Traveling far away means suffering on the road. If Peng Tongzhi were in Chang'an, he would not be able to bear the pain of his only daughter."

She ordered people to prepare some dry food, patent medicines, etc. that could be used on the road in winter, and planned to send them to Peng Yuqi.

Aunt Cui agreed and said: "It's just that the patent medicines are out. The dry food must be made fresh. Since Miss Peng will leave early the next morning, we may not be able to buy materials in time tomorrow. Why don't we go out to the market now?" Let’s start tonight, we should be able to catch up.”

Ma went out and looked at the sky: "It's almost dark. What can I buy at the market now? Ask Da Zhuang to go directly to the butcher's house and the grain and oil shop to buy things. Bring more money."

When talking about the candidates for running errands, Ma couldn't help but complain: "Why hasn't Baoshun come back yet? If he doesn't come back, he might not be able to make it to the city in time. It's late at night and it's going to snow again. He has to go Where to spend the night?!”
