Chapter 77 A Joke
With the drum beats, everyone took the silk flowers coming one by one, and laughed and passed them to the people down. The drum beat stopped and the flowers were in Mo Huaping's hands.
"Hua Ping is full of knowledge, so you have to say something to make us laugh. If it is not funny, you have to punish you one more cup." Xie Xiqing did not forget Mo Hua Ping's previous ridicule to her and waited for an opportunity to take revenge.
The two of them have had many times such open and secret battles. Mo Huaping didn't know Xie Xiqing's intention. He chuckled and said, "I'll just tell a straightforward joke. I'll tell a joke that is too deep. People who are empty in their belly will not understand."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked different. Even if Mo Huaping said the jokes were not funny at all, everyone could not say them unfunny. No one wanted to be the one who was a little ignorant and could not understand the so-called abyss joke.
Mo Huaping took a sip of tea and sang: "Once upon a time, a scholar brought a scholar to Beijing to take the exam. On the way, his hat was blown to the ground by the wind. The scholar said, "Young master, your hat fell to the ground." The scholar was very unhappy when he heard this, and told the scholar, "In the future, things fell to the ground, and they would not say anything to the ground. The scholar did not dare to disobey his master's words, and hurriedly said, "Helpfully pick it," and continued on the road. Seeing that he was picking it in a crooked manner, the scholar said, "Pick it carefully." The scholar said casually: "Young master, don't worry, you won't go to the ground no matter what." The scholar was so amused and laughed."
This joke is not funny to be serious, but the girl who wants to save face either covers her mouth with a veil or covers her mouth with a fan, and giggles. Shen Danxia did not smirk with them, holding a white porcelain bowl and eating chicken glutinous rice with a small stutter. Like Shen Danxia, Yuan Jiaoyue was not smiling. She was gnawing duck legs, her mouth was covered in oil.
"Everyone laughed, but I'm saying this joke well, there's no need to drink, right?" Mo Huaping glanced at Xie Xiqing and asked with a smile.
Xie Xiqing poured a glass of wine, walked to her side, and smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes, you are a good joke. If you don't drink, please drink a toast. After drinking this glass, we will continue."
Mo Huaping curled his lips and smiled, took the wine glass and drank the wine. So he beat the drum again, and started to pass it on from her. After four or five times, several maids walked in with the paintings and poems they had sent to the viewing building. The one who came with them was also a star boy next to Xie Shuheng.
"Fourth Girls." The chief boy bowed to Xie Xiqing, "The eldest young master said, 'There is no first in writing, and the other person's evaluation angle is different, and the results will be very different. Therefore, the young masters could not choose, so they decided to collect all the paintings and poems into a book and publish a book under the name of "Qunfang Ji" to record today's grand events."
The girls were a little disappointed when they heard that they could not choose who was the first. Then they heard that they gathered together to publish books and turned sadness into joy. Their talents and reputations could be spread along with books. The purpose of the Xie Mansion to hold a flower viewing party was achieved, and the girls who attended the meeting also achieved their goal. Seeing that it was getting late, the girls 6 continued to resign.
Shen Danxia took Hujiao and Shiqin home and headed straight to the main courtyard of the third bedroom to meet Tao. At the entrance of the courtyard, the old woman told her that her eldest cousin Tao Ze was coming, and Xiao Tao Hang was also here. Standing at the entrance of the small flower hall, she saw Tao Ze talking to the two brothers Shen Bomi. Xiao Tao Hang rolled on the spacious arhat couch, Tao was sitting next to him, looking at him with a loving smile.
"Mother." Chen Danxia stood at the door and called out.
"Oh, my good friend is back." Tao smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Good friend, go and greet your cousin."
With Hujiao's help, Chen Danxia walked past the threshold and walked to Tao Ze. Before he could salute, Tao Ze reached out and picked her up. He smelled the faint smell of wine on her body and asked in a low voice: "Sister Nine drinks?"
Oh no!
Chen Danxia spitted her tongue. She should go back to her room to change clothes, rinse her mouth with mint water, smiled flatteringly at Tao Ze, and said, "One glass, I drank a glass of fruit wine."
"My sister Ninth thinks I will believe this, or will my aunt?" Tao Ze asked with a smile.
Chen Danxia stretched out his hands and said, "Big Cousin, I'm still young and don't know how to count."
Tao Ze burst out laughing, scratched her fat chin, and said, "Little slippery."
"Big Cousin!" Chen Danxia arched into his arms, staining his body with the smell of alcohol, and told him to be taught a lesson by his cousin's wife after he went back.
Tao Ze did not notice his little cousin's sinister intentions, so he brought the teacup and fed her to sober up. When Tao saw it, he hurriedly said, "Brother Ze, Jiuer doesn't like to drink tea. Congratulations, let them bring the tremella red date soup for the girl to drink."
Congratulations on coming out and letting the maid bring in Tremella and Red Date Soup.
"Sister Ninth, is the pig deer delicious?" Tao Ze asked.
"It's delicious!" Chen Danxia smacked his lips, "Xiao Jiuer ate a lot, thank you cousin."
Tao smiled and said, "She ate half a fan by herself, and she was over. She lay on the couch and asked the girl to give it to her..."
"Mother!" Chen Danxia shouted coquettishly.
Dow covered his mouth with his hand, "Okay, I won't say it anymore."
Xiao Tao Hang rolled into Tao's arms and shouted at Chen Danxia, "Miss, come and play with Xiao Hang."
"Brother Hang, I told you last time that I am not a young lady, I am a little aunt, you have to call me a little aunt." Chen Danxia said seriously.
"Auntie!" Tao Hang remembered, "Cheerful little aunt, come and play, come and play together."
"You are just chubby." Chen Danxia replied in annoyance. She was afraid that Tao would smell the wine on her body, so she would not dare to go there now, otherwise she would have to teach this brat a lesson.
Tao hugged Tao Hangyuan's rolling little body, smiled slightly, and said, "Your aunt and nephew are the same." The two of them had little similar appearances, but in terms of body shape, they didn't look like cousins, but they looked like their dear aunts and nephews, and they were both chubby and cute.
While speaking, the maid brought up the tremite and red date soup. Tao took a bowl of it and fed it to Tao Hang, Tao Ze brought it to Chen Danxia. After drinking a few sips of the soup, Chen Danxia opened his mouth and took a spoonful of tremite fed by Tao Ze. After chewing it carefully, he spit out all the tremite, dirtying his clothes.
"Sister Nine, why do you spit out thighs? But they are not delicious?" Tao Ze took the handkerchief handed by Hu Jiao and wiped off the thighs that were stained with her clothes.
"This piece of tremella has not been cooked, it's a little hard." Chen Danxia casually found an excuse to explain why she spit out the tremella. Chen Danxia slid down from Tao Ze's legs. "Mother, my clothes are dirty, I'll go back to the room to change my clothes first."
Seeing that Chen Danxia's clothes were wet, Tao said without a doubt: "Hujiao, accompany the girl back to her room to change clothes, and she will serve her very much."
