After I quit my relationship, my fiancé was attacked by me

Chapter 302
Xie Zhan looked drunk.

After everyone roared with laughter, when they looked at him again, they saw a pair of peach-blossom eyes that seemed drunk but not drunk. They were dark in color, with a faint red at the end of the eyes, completely different from the cold, arrogant, elegant and noble expression when he was sober , and then narrowed his eyes to look at people, showing a lot of style and affection.

Mr. Xie Jialang has an outstanding appearance, especially Xie Zhan.

After the sisters-in-law stopped laughing, they turned their heads and chatted with Mrs. Xie again. Lu Yuan was alone, looking at Xie Zhan who had turned around, and lost his mind at his back.

In the past, she never dared to think that this indifferent or even indifferent cousin would still be smiling and make people laugh.

She has been in Xie's mansion for many days, and only a few days ago when he was ill, Mrs. Xie arranged to deliver soup and medicine. She saw him every day. She showed a bit of tenderness.

He is alienated and indifferent, but his coldness is elegant and polite. It will not make you feel rude, but it will never make you feel hopeful.

But what I saw today, even if his behavior was due to drunkenness, it can still show that she had a wrong impression of this cousin in the past, and she had seen him approaching the maidservant the day before yesterday.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan wondered to himself, such an outstanding gentleman is not inhumane, so, can such a "firework" like her win his favor, is there hope for her to enter Xie's house?
As soon as this kind of thought arose, she felt something in her heart was breaking out of the ground, and her heart was beating rapidly when it hit. Before she had time to suppress the excitement, she heard Mrs. Xie call her: "Yuaner, come here. Bring these to them who eat and drink."

Lu Yuan was slightly stunned, then hurriedly calmed down, nodded, smiled and took a plate of dried meat from Mrs. Xie, got up and sent it to the gentlemen as promised.

Except for Xie Xinxuan, the girls present were all experienced people. Seeing Lu Yuanfang's face turned red when he left, they understood the meaning of that bit of temptation, but it was related to the Patriarch and Madam Xie instructed them, so they all tacitly agreed Pretending not to see it, pretending to focus on the leaf play in hand.

Wang Shi was extremely surprised.

When she passed the Crane Garden, she could see clearly that Liu Lang attached great importance to Fu's daughter, to the point where he would not hesitate to confront his mother-in-law.

It is a customary thing for the gentlemen of the Xie family not to accept concubines. Liu Lang and the Fu girl are already engaged, so they have a candidate for a first wife, but the behavior of the mother-in-law just now has the meaning of secretly encouraging the cousin, so , it is unbelievable.

She couldn't help but began to wonder, could it be that the mother-in-law encouraged Liu Lang to take a concubine?If Liu Lang really set this precedent, what about the other Lang Jun?Do they all have to change?

Thinking of this, Wang couldn't help trembling.

Once the husband takes a concubine, it is not a trivial matter to involve things like concubines.

She herself is the concubine daughter of the Wang family, and she has been struggling to survive in an extremely complicated family atmosphere since she was a child, and she understands the struggle and helplessness in the open and in the dark.Her aunt once told her in secret that Mrs. Wang's own son, Wang Dalang, was killed by another aunt, but her father claimed that he died of illness for the sake of face.The battle between the son and the concubine can even win the lives of her children, and she is timid and not clever, so 1 people don't want to go through it once.

As if hearing her doubts, Mrs. Xie said indifferently: "Yu'er's life experience is miserable, and her temperament is gentle. Since she will live in our Xie family in the future, and now she is new here, I just hope to get to know you and my cousins ​​as soon as possible. Get up, don't be rusty."

Mrs. Xie defined this move on the tone of "familiarity", and the daughters-in-law hurriedly responded with a few words, wondering how they felt about the acquaintance between Lu Yuan and Xie Zhan, an unmarried man and an unmarried woman, But I don't know.

Lu Yuan sent the things Mrs. Xie asked her to send to the gentlemen, and put them next to the jug closest to Xie Zhan.

As soon as he saw that there was something to eat, Xie Chen, who had the fastest mouth, asked curiously: "What did my cousin send you?"

Before Lu Yuan could answer, Xie Zhan reached out and took a piece to examine it, and said leisurely, "Yak jerky is abundant in Shuzhou, and it is also produced in Bailan Country."

Lu Yuan smiled and echoed: "The sixth cousin is right. It is very popular among girls, and it is sold in pastry shops. But the original taste is only salty. After buying it, Yuan'er processed it by herself. For example, the one with red powder sticking to it is spicy; and the one with brown color is five-flavored. The two flavors can be eaten with wine, and they both have a special flavor. Cousin, try it.”

Xie Zhan took a piece of spicy one and was about to put it in his mouth, when Xie Yong, who was listening to Lu Yuan's explanation next to him, saw him, he paused for a moment with his five-flavored hand, said "ah", jokingly said: "Why did the sixth brother start to eat spicy food? Could it be that he secretly ate a lot of special food from his cousin, did he get it out of practice?"

He has always been a man who likes to be funny, but now that he is drunk and hazy after eating, his words are much bolder.Xie's family knew his temper, so they just took it as a joke and ignored him, but Lu Yuan was unfamiliar with him, coupled with the secret thoughts in his heart just now, hearing Xie Yong's joke, his cheeks flushed instantly, with a sense of clarification : Said: "No, no, cousin Liu doesn't eat snacks."

"If you don't like to eat it, how do you know about it? In my opinion, it's just ordinary jerky, but he said it was yak meat." Xie Yongbuyi said.

"I gave it to my sixth cousin..." Lu Yuan wanted to explain that she gave it to Xie Zhan. She told him what it was at the time, but someone knocked her arm lightly. She turned her eyes and saw that it was Wang who appeared at an unknown time .

Mrs. Wang didn't seem to notice that she was bumped by her and staggered, she went straight to Xie Chen, handed Xie Chen a handkerchief, then turned to Xie Zhan with a smile: "I heard that the prospective sister-in-law is from Jingzhou, I must be He likes to eat spicy snacks the most, so the sixth brother naturally loves the house and the bird."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help looking at Xie Zhan with meaningful eyes, and Xie Yong even stretched the tone and said "oh".

Xie Zhan did not refute, and drank a glass of wine with his eyes half down.

Although Lu Yuan knew that standing here was a bit out of place, he still stood still and stood aside without speaking.

Wang observed her words and found that Xie Zhan was caressing the dark green embroidered sachet on her waist with one hand. The sachet seemed to be given by someone. She was suddenly blessed, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind that it was finally her turn to perform in front of Xie Zhan. , then suppressed the tension of speaking in front of everyone, and made persistent efforts:

"When it comes to Jingzhou, I have to say that the New Year's Eve between there and Shuzhou is the most lively. Take the matter of 'Giving the New Year' as an example, that is, gifts are given to each other on New Year's Eve, and every household gives gifts back and forth. Come and go, isn't the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year immediately there?"

Wang's biological mother was from Shuzhou.Taking Wang's handkerchief, Xie Chen, who was wiping the sweat on his forehead due to excitement, became interested, and asked his wife, "What is the rule for presenting this year?"

Wang replied: "There are no rules, it doesn't matter if it is expensive or not, it's just for celebration."

Xie Zhan heard Fu Xuan's words at that time, and added: "There is a huge disparity between the rich and the poor, and gifts for the new year vary from person to person. Some give carps, caged rabbits, and colorful embroidery, and some give their own pounded and ground rice noodles. cakes and cakes." (1)

Mrs. Wang saw the stitches and said: "This colorful embroidered sachet worn by Liu Lang is a gift for the new year from my sister-in-law." The tone seemed to be affirmative.

Xie Zhan has a cold personality, and now that he is the head of the family, brothers respect him a lot, and he seldom makes fun of him, and it is rare to make trouble with him in matters of relationship, but once he heard Wang's words, Xie Zhan did not shy away from it He pursed his lips and responded with an "um", and the brothers immediately became very interested as if they had caught something.

Xie Yong grabbed his sachet and said loudly: "Hurry up and show us all!"

Xie Zhan didn't hide it, he immediately untied it and handed it to his brothers.Quite a bit proud.

There was a lot of noise at the man's place, which inevitably attracted the attention of the female family members. Mrs. Xie was about to send Xie Xinxuan to inquire, and Lu Yuan, who came back from the man's place, gave the answer first.

Knowing that there is a "gift to the new year", the young Xie Xinxuan was undecided, so she immediately quarreled with her mother and said: "If other houses have it, we also want to have it. Let's give gifts too!"

Mrs. Xie saw that the whole room was full of joy, so she told Nanny Zhong to say: "On this festive day, the joy of being alone is not as good as the joy of everyone. Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to have fun together? Go to my private storehouse to find some things, and the whole family will be happy." , everyone will send some gifts for the New Year."

This is what it means for the servants to be polite. They have already received a round of rewards from the master, and there is another round of rewards. Saying "the old slave is going now", he went out and took a few servants to the warehouse together.

Mrs. Xie made some moves here, and the daughters-in-law were not far behind, talking and laughing, they went back to the yard to prepare the ceremony.

Just as Wang turned around to go out, she suddenly looked up and saw Lu Yuan opened the felt curtain to go out, so she stopped and asked Xie Zhan, "My sister-in-law gave you a gift, do you have a gift in return?"

Xie Zhan was drunk, and was raising his hands to rub the center of his brows. When he heard the question, he suddenly stopped and shook his head, "It's the first time this year that I know about this, and I wasn't prepared."

Xie Yong's eyes lit up in an instant, knowing that Xie Zhan himself was having fun when they were teasing Xie Zhan, he immediately said loudly: "Come and not be indecent. Why don't you choose a gift and send it to others!"

Xie Sanlang was so drunk that he didn't know what happened, but he echoed and urged Xie Zhan: "Send it, send it."

The rest of the brothers also laughed and booed.

Hearing this, Xie Zhan really propped himself up on the table and got up staggeringly, looking like he was really going to present a gift to Fu Xuan.

Mrs. Xie stopped her with a serious face and said: "How can anyone come to visit us on New Year's Eve? Look at him, he looks like a drunk, he can't walk straight, it would be embarrassing to go out, don't encourage him indiscriminately. And one or two are full of heads. Sweating profusely, he is still just in time for the wind and cold, and now the wind and snow are blowing outside, and he fell ill again after the alternation of cold and heat, so why should he start drinking soup on the first day of the new year?"

Once some thoughts are raised, those who are persistent cannot easily take them back.

Xie Zhan said nonchalantly: "My son is not a delicate flower raised indoors, how can he be so weak that he will be cold when he goes out?"

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Xie knew that it was impossible to stop her, and she complained in her heart that this man was obsessed with ghosts, and the other sons were not worried, so they could only tell and beat: "Then put on your cloak and go back early .You are now the backbone of the family."

Xie Zhan replied with a smile: "This is wrong, the mother is the backbone of the family!"

　Remark 1: Here is a reference to Song/Su Shi's "Giving the New Year" "The rich and the people are extravagant, and the colorful embroidery is full of light. The poor are ashamed, and the small ones make the pound."
