unlucky ghost

A young woman poked Tan Zishi's face with her finger, and said with a smile: "Oh, my sister-in-law is really lucky. Look at how handsome this husband is, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, which is very pleasing."

The other stretched out his hand to pinch his face, and said with a smile: "I see that my son-in-law is full of noble air, his starry eyes are bright, and he will be magnificent in the future!"

The others all followed suit and said: "Young master will be promoted in the future and become a great cause, and we women and Taoist families can also enjoy great fame..."

Tan Zishi didn't say a word, a group of women danced chaotically with their handkerchiefs, laughing and laughing at him.

These women are about thirty or so. Due to proper maintenance, their faces do not look old, only the corners of their eyes are slightly wrinkled, and their actions are all ladylike. Seeing that Tanzi is really young, he doesn't shy away from anything.

Tan Zi hurriedly saluted respectfully: "All the sisters-in-law and aunts are absurd."

Those women looked up and down around him, one pinched his face, the other pulled his hair, coaxing him for a while like playing a monkey.

A slightly younger one asked with a smile: "How old is my little brother? How many books have you read in private school? It is often said that Uncle Tan's family education is very strict. Brother Tan must be full of sages and sages now, right? ? Tell your aunts and sisters-in-law quickly?"

"Yes, yes, I heard that little brother, you write very well, and you have the strength of everyone. If you don't give us face to write a poem for each of us today, we will definitely not let you go..."

Tan Zishi forced a smile, nodded and bowed his waist and said: "Thank you for your love, my son-in-law is not talented, I'm afraid..."

Before he finished speaking, he was dragged out of the hall door.

Everyone laughed together and said: "If you say anything about your talents, we will not forgive you."

Tan Zishi was being pulled by the sleeves of a group of women, and walked forward in a rather embarrassed way, dodging the champagne in their hands from time to time.

It's not easy for this woman to babble, especially those greasy handkerchiefs, so sticky to her face that she can choke and sneeze...

"Aunts and sisters-in-law, this is..." Tan Zishi held his breath and hurriedly asked while being pushed forward.

"It's not easy to meet my son-in-law who is both talented and beautiful. I must not ask you to leave the house today..."

"This..." Tan Zishi felt a sudden chill on his back, "My son-in-law doesn't drink often, he's too strong to drink, and he's afraid that he'll be drunk when he's drunk, and he'll be crazy and talk nonsense, wouldn't it be a joke..."

"We don't know whether it can hold wine or not. We have to go to the wine table to test it." A pink-clothed lady covered her mouth with a handkerchief.

Everyone laughed.

Tan Zishi was dragged onto the wine table with a dark face, and was poured into two seas without saying a word.

Master Tan and the elders of the Liu family have already entered the banquet, and a stage has long been set up at the foot of the south wall.

Several young actors went to the table, bowed together, and said: "I'm waiting to congratulate Master Liu on his [-]th birthday, and wish Master Liu a happy and healthy life, better than Nanshan."

The elder of the Liu family smiled happily and waved his hands.

Master Tan also smiled, and his eyes accidentally fell on his worthless bastard son. Seeing that he was drinking and laughing with a group of women, he winked at the little pigeon.

The little pigeon understood, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Master, when I came here, the master told me that today, the elders must not drink in front of you..."

Before the little pigeon could finish speaking, the young woman in pink stopped his persuasion, pushed him aside, and said with a half smile and half anger while pushing: "Go, go, there is no young master Jingui here, only us A good son-in-law of the Liu family."

Another woman dragged a fourteen or fifteen-year-old servant from her side, and said with a smile, "Look how similar these two are."

The little pigeon took a look at the child, who was as short as him in stature, but had nothing like the expression on his face.

"Where does it look like?" A woman who was pouring wine put the wine bowl into Tan Zishi's hand, and also looked at the two of them.

"Do you see that these two people look alike?" The woman pushed the little servant to the side of the little pigeon, and said, "Xiao Donggua, if I don't get him drunk today, I will settle accounts with you later. !" After speaking, he leaned into Xiaodonggua's ear and whispered: "Don't ask him to disturb the fun of all grandmas again."

The little wax gourd said tremblingly: "I obey!"

Tan Zishi raised his head and drank another sea, the spicy wine dripped down his neck and onto his clothes.

I didn't drink too much...

Before the little pigeon could speak, it was dragged out of the crowd by the little winter melon.

A group of women was making a fuss.

Tan Zi really drank half of the jar of wine and couldn't drink any more, so he supported his head as if he was drunk, and then escaped from the clutches of the women.

There was something babbling and babbling on the stage, Tan Zishi was pretending to be drunk, but after a while, he was really drunk, and his cheeks were slightly hot.

Tanzi really sat on the table for a while, Liu Xunzhou came over, took him by the arm and said: "Your father-in-law is here today, and it's your sixtieth birthday, the wine you drank just now doesn't count. Only this cup to your father-in-law counts."

Tan Zishi glanced at his father, and the old man was also staring at him, nodded slightly, motioning for him to toast.

Tanzi couldn't help it, so he had no choice but to pick up the wine cup and follow Liu Xunzhou to the elder of the Liu family.

"Brother Tan, it's a little perfunctory for you to take such a small wine cup." Liu Xunzhou smiled unkindly, reached out and snatched the wine cup from his hand, and brought a wine bowl from the table, "Just this bowl, If you can’t finish drinking, don’t want to go back today.”

After all, "哗啦" is full

Tan Zishi wiped his forehead, and the cold autumn air broke out in a cold sweat.

"Brother Tan, drink, your father-in-law is still waiting for your toast, so I need a few words of congratulation from you." Liu Xunzhou urged, and poured some more wine into the wine bowl, filling it to the brim.

The wine swayed and spilled out in a bunch, but disappeared in mid-air.

Tan Zishi blinked, thinking he was dizzy from drinking, then looked at the old man of the Liu family, seeing that the old man was also smiling at him, he simply stepped forward, lifted the wine bowl to the top of his head, bent down and bowed down. With a bow, he said: "I toast my father-in-law, wishing my father-in-law eternal youth, pine and crane Changchun, sun and moon shining together, and ageless..."

The elder of the Liu family burst into laughter, quickly waved his hand to stop him from drinking, and said with a smile: "With your bowl of wine, old man, I will live a long life, so I don't have to say anything new."

Tanzi had no choice but to shut up, straighten his waist, hold the wine bowl in front of him to drink, but saw the wine rippled, blue sky and white sun were imprinted in it, and a pale face was clearly reflected in the wine bowl.

Tanzi was startled, and hurriedly turned his head to look, but there was no one behind him.

Everyone held their breaths and stared at the son-in-law Chenglong Kuai of the Liu family.

"You bastard, why don't you respect your father-in-law, why are you in a daze?" Master Tan was in a hurry and couldn't help urging.

Tan Zishi pursed his lips, gritted his teeth and put his face on the wine bowl.

Just as he was about to drink, the face in the drink suddenly opened his mouth, smiling rather than crying, it was really ferocious.

Tanzi was startled, the wine bowl fell to the ground with a clang, and the wine splashed all over the head of the Liu family.

Master Tan hurriedly got up and scolded: "You bastard, why are you so nonsense, what are you doing standing there, why don't you apologize!"

The elder of the Liu family was taken aback for a moment, then he laughed and pulled Master La Tan's sleeve, persuading him: "brother Tan, don't be so angry, young master must have drunk too much, it's okay, it's okay Son……"

Mrs. Liu hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe the wine for the elder of the Liu family, frowned and looked at Tan Zishi, and said with a subterranean smile: "Come on, stop making trouble, just sit down and watch the show."

Tanzi wiped his forehead, feeling a chill all over his body.

Liu Xunzhou hurriedly stepped forward to round up the situation, smiled and took Tan Zishi's arm, and ordered the boy to clean up the broken bowls on the ground, and said to Master Tan: "It should be my Liu family's wine, but it's good now, it really is. It was sprinkled on the ancestors of my Liu family." After finishing speaking, he smiled at Tanzi again, "I never thought that little brother Xiangtan is so careless about drinking, I was negligent."

When he said this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the chatter for a while passed away.

Tan Zishi had a really bad time, sitting in the crowd, his ears were buzzing non-stop, his palms were sweating, and when he was about to leave the gate of Liu's house, his eyes were drooping listlessly. , was stuffed into the carriage by his father.

"You bastard, you used to be addicted to alcohol, but I don't see that you have the ability to embarrass your father-in-law in front of so many elders. Why are you so uneasy?"

Tan Zishi fell down on the soft mattress in the car, shivering all over his body, he was filled with grievances but couldn't speak out, so he could only listen to his father's training with a dull head.

"Why are you so confused, if it wasn't for your second elder brother's help today, wouldn't it mean that your father and I would not be able to step down?"

Tan Zishi shrank his cold hands into his sleeves, his head was a little dizzy, and he didn't want to say anything, so he endured not talking to his father all the way.
