Chapter 176: Listen to her!
When the three of them arrived at the courtyard next door, they heard Jiang Cheng, the Marquis of Wu'an, holding up a wine glass and laughing loudly: "Since ancient times, heroes have been born in young men. It is rare that we have so many heroic young men in our court. Drinking makes people brave. Let me see what you are like."
If you don’t have the guts, drink it with confidence and drink happily with me today. I have good wine for you.”
"This -" Marquis Wu'an's words stunned many people on the spot. The prime minister's wife, Ruan Shi, was the first to object, "Master Marquis, this is not possible. They are still children and will hurt their bodies."
of!"
Chen Shaokai was the most beloved son of the Ruan family. She always indulged him in many ways and was not willing to let him suffer even when he was a child. The last time he was in the Imperial College, Chen Shaokai was injured in a fight with Fang Da, and she was Fang Da's general.
The family was extremely angry, and the most annoying thing was that those members of the Fang family were not beheaded.
Wu'an Hou Jiang Cheng just glanced at the Ruan family and said loudly: "Don't worry about you women in the back house. Women are soft-hearted and only spoil their children. They are already fifteen or sixteen years old and they should all be their own children."
Now that I'm a father, I'm still just a child. I thought that when I was eight years old, I could drink a jar of wine, and when I was thirteen, I went to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Besides, Prime Minister Chen and Young Master Chen both agreed, so women shouldn't say more.
Got it!"
Ruan glanced anxiously in the direction of Prime Minister Chen Yan, but saw him glaring slightly at her. Ruan swallowed back all the words that followed. The man had already decided that the woman was
Having no say.
Mrs. Yuan, the Marquis of Dingyuan, looked natural and didn't say much. Anyway, Wei Song, who was with Chen Shaokai, was just a bastard, and a very restless bastard. Today, whether he made a fool of himself, got into trouble, or was in the limelight,
, there is no harm to her.
Lin Shuran actually had the same worries as Ruan, and she saw that Xu Junze had also come to the wedding banquet and was sitting at a table with Duke Zhen Guo, Lei Zhanpeng, and Marquis Wu An. At the same time, he also turned his attention to her.
There seemed to be a question in his eyes.
Can't she just say no? Then she turned to the direction of Xu Mingchen and Xu Mingye, and found that the children were also looking at her expectantly, as if hoping that she would agree, but the oldest among them was only thirteen or fourteen.
age.
For a moment, Lin Shuran was really embarrassed. Ancient customs were different from modern ones, and people's cognitions were also very different. Here, boys were considered not to be children at the age of seven or eight, and their families would force them to continue to have sex.
Growing up, you have to bear a lot of things at a young age.
Jiang Cheng, the Marquis of Wu'an, noticed that Xu Junze and the children of the Xu family were all looking in the direction of Lin Shuran. Interest flashed at the corner of his mouth, and he deliberately asked Xu Junze: "General Xu, I like these children in your house very much. I heard that they
Although they are young, they are all capable and courageous. How about we let them have a few drinks and give it a try? Don’t worry, my wine will not harm you."
Even the emperor and prime ministers would give him some face if the Marquis of Wu'an Jiang Cheng spoke out. Moreover, this Marquis dared to beat the Marquis of Dingyuan, which shows that he was also a hot-tempered person. Normally, the ministers would not provoke him.
Thinking that Xu Junze must give him some face.
However, Xu Junze said in a calm voice: "Master Hou, I have to ask my wife about this matter. We all listen to her about the matters at home and the children!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was stunned. These words were said by the evil general who was not even afraid of the emperor? Isn't this General Xu always fearless? When will he become a
A "henpecked" person?
Then everyone turned their attention to Lin Shuran. Lin Shuran also blushed at Xu Junze's words. Lei Yingying even joked from the side: "Sister Ran, you are really good at controlling your husband!"
At this time, Xiao Chen and Song Qinglun, who were both at the scene, also had unknown emotions flashing through their eyes. Seeing that Xu Junze and Lin Shuran seemed to have a good relationship as a couple, they each felt uncomfortable in their hearts.
"Madam of the Xu family, are you willing to let the children of the Xu family drink a few glasses of wine with me?" At this time, the Marquis of Wu'an Jiang Cheng also looked at Lin Shuran, with a hint of authority in his words.
pressure.
Lin Shuran knew that she couldn't handle this matter with modern people's thinking now. The time and space environment are different, and people's understanding of the same thing will be very different. For example, drinking alcohol, most ancient people used this as a
Beautiful things.
Therefore, with a slight smile on her face, she looked up at Wu'an Marquis Jiang Cheng and said: "Master Hou, a small drink is pleasant, but a big drink is harmful to the body. You care for the younger generation, shouldn't you let all the children in my family drink?"
Let's go to a big altar, right? They can't compare with the Marquis. Their drinking capacity is limited, so please be merciful to the Marquis."
Lin Shuran agreed with some room for it, but he was telling Wu'an Hou Jiang Cheng that the children of the Xu family were young and had little capacity for alcohol. They could not be allowed to drink too much. It would also save Wu'an Hou's face. After all, today is
The Marquis of Wu'an's house was holding a happy event, and Lin Shuran didn't want to displease the master's family.
After hearing this, Jiang Cheng, the Marquis of Wu'an, laughed loudly, nodded to Lin Shuran and said: "Mrs. Xu is sensible, don't worry, I am the kind of person who doesn't know how to measure. You children, please have a drink with me. You have a good drinker."
, just have a few more drinks with me. Children under seven years old are not allowed to touch the wine glass, otherwise I will beat them."
"Sister Ran, don't worry. I heard my father say that Marquis Wu'an likes children very much. Maybe he is happy that the prince is getting married today, so he asked these children to have a drink with him. A glass of wine will be fine!" Lei Ying
Ying comforted Lin Shuran and said that in the Jin Dynasty, boys over seven years old had to learn to drink. This was also part of their growth, but they were not allowed to drink too much often.
Chen Jiayu also said at the side: "I heard it was a drinking fight just now, and I was worried that your children would suffer. Chen Shaokai is a big drinker, so now that Marquis Wu An has come forward and asked them to only have one drink with him, it can be regarded as this.
The matter is suppressed."
Chen Jiayu has lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion for so many years, and knows her stepmother Ruan and her children better than others. Today, Chen Shaokai must have wanted to take this opportunity to get Lei Yan, Xu Mingchen and others drunk, and then think of something bad.
The idea was to deal with them, but now that Marquis Wu An has come forward to ask these children to drink with him, the drinking fight should be over.
After hearing what Lei Yingying and Chen Jiayu said, Lin Shuran also nodded with some relief, and she saw that most of the children of the Xu family were drinking with Marquis Wu An, and Xu Mingchen, Xu Mingye, Lei Yan, and Zhao Pei were drinking with them.
After three glasses of wine, only Xu Mingyuan, the fifth eldest son of the Xu family, picked up the fifth glass of wine. What happened to this fifth eldest son of the Xu family who was usually not very talkative today?!
