Chapter 2 family banquet 第二章家宴 Qing Luan sees the appearance that she is critical situation, is good to say with a smile: Brother Xu's family member, must receive even well, does not use this! Initially governor of prefecture Sir came not to see the young lady is so anxious, I thought that two am not the unkind person, especially Brother Xu's elder sister, the speech was friendly.” 青鸾见她如临大敌的样子,好笑道:“许大哥的亲人,就算是要好好接待,也不用这样吧!当初知府大人来也没见小姐这么紧张过,我看那两位不是刻薄的人,特别是许大哥的姐姐,说话蛮和气的。” Cai Feng put out a hand to knock on her head, said: Little girl, understands anything! Do not look that governor of prefecture Sir the rack suspends in a big way, comes the gorgeous boat also needs help from us. Now these two, although friendly, is actually we need help from others. How can be the same!” 彩凤伸手在她脑袋上敲了一下,道:“小丫头片子,懂什么!别看知府大人架子摆得大,来画舫也是有求于咱们。现在来这两个虽然和气,却是咱们有求于人家。怎么能一样!” Qing Luan wonders saying: What did we ask their?” 青鸾纳闷道:“咱们求他们什么?” Cai Feng looks in a mirror saying: Said you do not understand!” Incessantly for Xu Xian, for oneself. The present life she is very satisfied, she sets firm resolve in Xu Xian here, all will harm this life the hidden danger to be especially careful. 彩凤又照了照镜子道:“说了你也不懂!”不止是为了许仙,也是为了自己。如今的生活她可是十分满意,她可是下定决心在许仙这里赖下去的,所有会危害这种生活的隐患都要格外小心。 Cai Feng became the step to the main hall, saluted upon meeting said: Yun Yan has seen the elder sister and brother-in-law!” She intended hidden to go to once household register, changed into the original name. 彩凤趋步到了正厅之中,见礼道:“云嫣见过姐姐、姐夫!”她有意隐去了曾经的花名,换成本来的名字。 permits Jiaorong could not have waited, this moment one sees the Cai Feng glowing countenance, immediately is satisfied, holds the hand of Cai Feng saying: Makes me take a look carefully, our family/home Scholar is really the good good fortune, my whole life has not seen such beautiful woman!” 许娇容早就等不及了,此刻一见彩凤容光,顿时觉得满意,拉着彩凤的手道:“让我仔细瞧瞧,我们家汉文真是好福气啊,我这辈子也没见这样的美人!” Cai Feng naturally wins over this Xu Xian only family member with every effort, is only the status solid phase difference is too big, Cai Feng usually becomes friends with is highly placed people, said also recites the elegant matter that the wind moons-watch, although becomes friends with every effort, actually cannot discover many common topic. 彩凤自然尽力争取这个许仙唯一的亲人,只是彼此之间的身份实在相差太大,彩凤平日结交的都是达官贵人,说的也是吟风弄月的雅事,虽然尽力结纳,却也找不出多少共同的话题来。 In this regard, she actually cannot compare the Pan Yu circle to melt comfortably, after all Pan Yu as man, all sorts of people contacts are also more. 在这一点上,她却是比不上潘玉的圆融自在,毕竟潘玉以男子的身份,三教九流接触的也更多些。 Is good because of permits Jiaorong, although has for the meaning that Xu Xian checks, but is not the harsh person, each other is together but is actually harmonious. Although Li just the speech to/clashes, but also is the world difficult homing honest generation. Also makes Cai Feng relax. 好在许娇容虽然有替许仙把关的意思,但也不是苛刻之人,彼此相处的倒还算融洽。李公甫虽然说话冲,但也是天下难寻的正直之辈。也让彩凤松了口气。 Until the noontime, permits Jiaorong said: Which in family/home the kitchen, us makes the meal, waited for Scholar to come back to be good to serve a meal!” 直到午时,许娇容道:“家里厨房在哪,我们去做出饭菜来,等汉文回来了好开饭!” In the Cai Feng heart complained of hardship, she was everyone young lady, fierce that in the family/home spoiled. Also is thinking relied on own strength, which marries also was being supplied share, which will compel her to study what cook. 彩凤心中叫苦,她本是大家小姐,家中娇惯的厉害。也想着凭自家的实力,嫁给哪家也只有被供着的份,哪个又会去逼她学什么厨艺。 Afterward met misfortune is also the instruction office chief among flowers, is being waited on hand and foot clothes has put out a hand, was the present married Xu Xian, was Xu Xian prepares food to them eats. Where she will make what meal. In heart anxious: Has wanted this pass/test shortly, actually comes across such difficult matter. 后来落难也是教坊花魁,一直就是饭来张口衣来伸手,就是如今嫁给了许仙,也都是许仙做饭给她们吃。她又哪里会做什么饭菜。心中焦急:眼看就要过了这一关,却又遇到这样的难事。 In the surface smiles saying: Where dared the exhausted elder sister, husband comes back to scold me, the elder sister place moment, Yun Yan this prepared slightly!” In brain actually in rapidly is thinking the idea. 只是面上还是微笑道:“哪里敢劳烦姐姐,夫君回来又要骂我了,姐姐稍座片刻,云嫣这就去准备!”脑中却在急速的想着主意。 permits Jiaorong said with a smile: He dares to scold you, I first could not forgive him. However is also good, today makes us taste your craftsmanship!” Now she is the status of being a guest , was also speaks thoughtlessly a saying. Naturally also tests the school, the meaning of but actually certainly not having created obstacles. She has not thought, Cai Feng will not do the food. 许娇容笑道:“他敢骂你,我就先饶不了他。不过也好,今天就让我们就尝尝你的手艺!”如今她是做客的身份,也是随口一说。当然也算是考校,但却绝没有刁难的意思。她怎么也没有想到,彩凤连饭都不会做。 Cai Feng changes over to the rear room, Qing Luan holds her, anxious asking: Young lady, where you will prepare food!” 彩凤转入后厅,青鸾一把抓住她,急切的问道:“小姐,你哪会做饭啊!” Cai Feng turns to any doctor one can find when critically ill, instead grabs the hand of Qing Luan saying: This elder sister depended entirely on you!” If makes the Xu Xian elder sister know not only oneself will not prepare food, but also makes Xu Xian prepare food to oneself, that some received. Also is this days passes too satisfied, should have this difficult. 彩凤病急乱投医,反抓着青鸾的手道:“这次姐姐就全靠你了!”若是让许仙的姐姐知道自己不但不会做饭,还让许仙给自己做饭,那就有的受了。也是这段日子过得太惬意,该有此难。 Qing Luan is striking one's chest the guarantee, said: Looks my! Although I have not made the meal, but has looked at many times father and Brother Xu prepares food!” 青鸾拍着胸脯保证,道:“看我的吧!我虽然没做过菜,可是看过很多次爹爹和许大哥做菜呢!” Finally, after Qing Luan stirs fry the burnt third dish, Cai Feng despairs. Only fluent: You go out to buy to select secretly!” Although was possibly seen through, could ignore so many. 终于,在青鸾炒焦第三盘菜后,彩凤绝望了。只能道:“你还是偷偷出去买点回来吧!”虽然可能被识破,也顾不了那么多了。 Qing Luan puts on a long face saying: Has not thought that prepares food is so difficult!” Scratches to smoke the flower face, guarantees proving the way again: I will come back at the maximum speed!” 青鸾哭丧着脸道:“没想到做菜这么难啊!”擦擦熏花的脸,再次保证道:“我会以最快速度回来的!” Finally, when she comes back, sees Cai Feng in the hall to get a bawling out! 终于,等她回来的时候,就看见彩凤在大厅中挨训! permits Jiaorong thinks a moment ago the kitchen lends a hand, looked that Cai Feng squats in the stove is in a daze, an inquiry, Cai Feng then does not have to deny slightly, can only explain the fact. 许娇容刚才想到厨房去搭把手,就看彩凤蹲在炉灶边发呆,稍一询问,彩凤便无可抵赖,只能道明事实。 At this time when not compared with modern age the woman will not prepare food perfectly justified. At this time the woman will not prepare food is the natural justice is simply intolerable. 这时可不比现代时女人不会做饭天经地义。这时女人不会做饭简直是天理难容。 permits Jiaorong the good temperament could not bear, said: My this younger brother, although is unpromising, but the good and evil is a scholar, you make her go to you to prepare food to the kitchen in all day, you can eat!” Wants initially, in the family/home also the poor time, Xu Xian must help to the kitchen, was hit by oneself. Now takes a wife actually counter- must prepare food to the wife, this tenth what truth. 许娇容再好的脾气也忍不住了,道:“我这弟弟虽然没什么出息,但好歹是个读书人,你就让她整天到厨房里去给你做饭,你就吃得下去!”想当初,家里还穷的时候,许仙要到厨房帮忙,都是被自己打出去的。如今娶了媳妇却反要给媳妇做饭,这成什么道理。 Cai Feng said slow: I......” was indisputable after all. 彩凤呐呐道:“我……”却终归无可辩驳。 permits tender accommodates the anger difficult draw, said: Regardless of you once were what status, I was not the person who good to haggle over. Since passing through the gate, had said your has. You enter my Xu Family gate now, not compared with your initial time, is casual. If you thought that my younger brother quite bullies, or followed he to receive what grievance, although returned to your ship to come up!” 许娇容怒气难平,道:“无论你曾经是什么身份,我也不是好计较的人。自打进门,说过你一句不是没有。你如今进了我许家的门,不比你当初的时候,那么随便。你若觉得我弟弟好欺负,或是跟着他受了什么委屈,尽管回你的船上去!” What kind of reputation regardless of Cai Feng enjoys on the gorgeous boat, other chief among flowers anything. Once gets married, can only be the stain, although in permits Jiaorong the heart somewhat cares, actually intends not to raise, is to the Cai Feng face. Now knows her instead to bully above own younger brother, treats as the brothel bad habit not to change this, eruption that these unhappy doubles . 无论彩凤在画舫上享有怎样的名头,花魁还是别的什么。一旦嫁人,就只能是污点,许娇容心中虽有些在意,却有意不提,也算是给彩凤面子。如今知她反欺在自己弟弟头上,将这当作青楼习气不改,这些不快就加倍的爆发出来,。 Cai Feng kneels on the ground immediately, bursting into tears, actually speechless. She also knows the matter of today is not right, if others, only feared that was coarser says. 彩凤立刻跪在地上,一个劲的流泪,却只是无言。她也知今日之事是自己不对,若是旁人,只怕更难听的话都说出来了。 permits Jiaorong sees Cai Feng like this, was more tenderhearted, put down the angry gas channel/angrily said: Do not dislike the elder sister speech to be coarse, this matter made one of us know said fortunately, making others know, is to poke the Scholar backbone, got up!” 许娇容见彩凤这样子,终归还是心软了些,平了怒气道:“别嫌姐姐说话难听,这事让自家人知道还好说,让别人知道了,是要戳汉文脊梁骨的,起来吧!” Cai Feng tearful eyes dim raising the head, permits tender took shelter for the female sees also thought that I saw pity especially, the heart said: No wonder Scholar was charmed by her, daily prepares food to eat to her. 彩凤泪眼朦胧的抬起头,许娇容身为女子见了也觉得“我见尤怜”,心道:难怪汉文被她迷住,天天给她做饭吃。 She actually does not know, this solely is not the Xu Xian hobby, is mainly in the thought of modern people does not have gentleman far kitchen the idea, did not think that prepares food to eat anything to be ashamed to the woman. 她却不知,这不单单是许仙的爱好,主要是现代人的思维里也没有“君子远庖厨”的理念,更不觉得给女人做饭吃有什么羞耻的。 Standing up of Cai Feng stammering, permits Jiaorong must go to the kitchen, teaches her to prepare food hand in hand. Qing Luan raises the gift box to walk, cautious asking: What to do should that these vegetables/dishes?” If usually dares some people to Cai Feng this, she has flushed, today actually can only hide in worries for Cai Feng at the same time. 彩凤期期艾艾的站起身来,许娇容就要下厨,手把手的教她做菜。青鸾提着食盒走进来,小心翼翼的问道:“那这些菜该怎么办?”若是平日敢有人对彩凤这样,她早就冲出去了,今天却只能躲在一边替彩凤着急。 permits Jiaorong walks to look, looks immediately to Cai Feng, Cai Feng must falling is lower, criticizes: The dead girl, loves to talk about somebody's most vulnerable points! 许娇容走过去一看,立马向彩凤看去,彩凤只得将头落的更低,暗骂:死丫头,哪壶不开提哪壶! Then waits is also being one reproves. 便等着又是一顿训斥。 permits Jiaorong sighed, has not said anything, after all the day also wanted them to go. 许娇容只是叹了口气,没多说什么,毕竟日子还要他们俩去过。 Suspended the food and wine tableware, Xu Xian actually did not turn over. 摆好了酒菜碗筷,许仙却迟迟不归。 The vegetable/dish hot two, Xu Xian actually came back. 菜热了两遍,许仙却才回来。 Several people take a seat, Xu Xian is digging up the rice, while is listening to talking incessantly of elder sister. Shot a look at Cai Feng one, sees the appearance of her stammering, laughs in spite of trying not. This matter is all different in the idea, whom actually does not talk clearly to be wrong to whom. Only can console saying: Elder sister, the Yun Yan itself/Ben is lady, afterward was also the situation compels. My these days are teaching her to prepare food, how did you come to teach the person?” 几人入席,许仙一边扒着米饭,一边听着姐姐的唠叨。瞥了彩凤一眼,见她期期艾艾的模样,不由失笑。这件事全在理念不同,却说不清谁对谁错。只能劝解道:“姐,云嫣本就是大家闺秀,后来也是形势所迫。我这几日正在教她做饭,您怎么来了就训人?” permits Jiaorong stares saying: I also non- for your own good! Man outside, woman inside, this has the orderliness, this likely family/home. Otherwise becomes what appearance!” If not saw the younger brother to be old, being probable to clutch his ear is not good. 许娇容瞪眼道:“我还不是为你们好!男主外,女主内,这家才有条理,这家像个家。不然成什么样子!”若非见弟弟年纪已经大了,非得揪他耳朵不行。 Xu Xian can only should be again and again, but how the happy expression in eye actually cannot conceal. Packs off the elder sister brother-in-law with great difficulty, facing the full table, will in confusion start to tidy up. Usually this is also he and Qing Luan work, Cai Feng wipes the mouth, slightly runs back the room. 许仙只能连连应是,但眼中的笑意却怎么都掩饰不住。好不容易把姐姐姐夫送走,面对满桌狼藉,正要开始收拾。平时这也就是他和青鸾的工作,彩凤都是一抹嘴,小跑回房。 Today actually sees Cai Feng to collect the end tray, Xu Xian sees her pitiful appearance, finally cannot bear laugh. Thought that this extremely evil old society also had an advantage. 今日却见彩凤凑上来端盘子,许仙见她那可怜模样,终于忍不住哈哈大笑。觉得这万恶的旧社会也不是没有一点好处。 Cai Feng stared his one eyes, does not have the means with him. 彩凤瞪了他一眼,却拿他毫无办法。 Xu Xian said with a smile: My elder sister is this temperament, do not care!” 许仙笑道:“我姐姐就是这脾气,你别放在心上!” Cai Feng sighed: Elder sister is a good intention, I am understand!” My this temper, among the world no one can hold except for you probably again! Perhaps is this completely wife's duty. 彩凤叹道:“姐姐是一片好心,我是明白的!”我这性子,天下间除了你大概再没有人能容得下了吧!或许是该尽一点人妻的本分。 That, you later called me Yun Yan!” “那个,你以后还是叫我云嫣吧!” Xu Xian said with a smile: Also good, this name refinedly!” 许仙笑道:“也好,这个名字雅致一点!” Qing Luan busy say/way: I must change a refined point name!” 青鸾忙道:“我也要改一个雅致点的名字!” Xu Xian said with Yun Yan together: Sir speech child do not interrupt!” 许仙云嫣一起道:“大人说话小孩子别插嘴!” Qing Luan is staring them with the suspicious look. 青鸾用可疑的眼神瞪着他们。 The dim light of night is waning, when dinner time. In the kitchen, Qing Luan overcomes the hand to Xu Xian, Yun Yan must study study cook surely. 夜色阑珊,等到晚饭的时候。厨房里,青鸾许仙打下手,云嫣也定要学一学厨艺。 Xu Xian said: You do not need so to put in great inconvenience to itself.” 许仙道:“你也不必如此委屈自己。” Yun Yan said: Elder sister comes again, I cannot kneel to cry again a conclusion!” 云嫣道:“姐姐再来,我总不能再跪下来哭一场了局!” Xu Xian sighed: Mistakes arising out of chance circumstances, to the present!” 许仙叹道:“阴错阳差,以至如今!” Yun Yan actually earnest say/way: Yun Yan really rejoices that now can run into you, has thank you protected me, please give me to select the time again, I will try hard to be a good wife!” 云嫣却认真的道:“云嫣如今真的庆幸能够遇到你,也谢谢你一直保护我,请再给我点时间,我会努力做一个好妻子!” Xu Xian loses says with a smile: Some matters not depending on diligently on line, moreover I have not wanted you to try hard, you are been freely good by your temper!” 许仙失笑道:“有些事不是凭努力就行的,而且我也没想要你努力,你尽管由着自己的性子好了!” Yun Yan looks at the Xu Xian face, suddenly said disappointedly: Actually you do not like me, therefore does not care!” She thinks oneself can grasp the intentions of all men, actually first met Pan Yu, met Xu Xian. 云嫣看着许仙的脸庞,突然失望道:“其实你也不喜欢我吧,所以才根本不在意!”她原以为自己可以把握所有男人的心意,却先遇到了潘玉,又遇到了许仙 The heart of Pan Yu is unpredictable, swiftly the thing, making her be hard to estimate. But the heart of Xu Xian, she thinks that can grasp, actually actually same is hard to touch. He is also the character makes it so to her gentleness, even has nothing to do with her. 潘玉的心是变幻莫测,倏忽东西,令她难以测度。而许仙的心,她原以为是可以把握的,其实却一样的难以触及。他对她的温柔也不过是性格使然而已,甚至与她本身无关。 Xu Xian first stares, then said with a smile: Why can discuss this? Ok, prepares food, otherwise my elder sister will come to scold you next time!” 许仙先是一愣,而后笑道:“何必一定要论这个呢?好了,还是做饭吧,不然下次我姐姐来又要骂你了!” In this world did not have love with no reason at all, but more is the beautiful female more is thinks that the people all love themselves, actually does not understand that color fades loves relax the truth! That love no doubt is also the love, what with loving the property also has to distinguish? The world always confuses in the boundary, but gives birth resentfully with the sigh, is actually not necessary. 这世上本就没有无缘无故的爱,而越是美丽的女子越是以为众人皆爱自己,却不明白“色衰而爱弛”的道理!那种爱固然也是爱,但同爱财物又有什么区别呢?只是世人总是迷惑于其间的界限,而生出许多愤懑与感叹,其实大可不必。 Yun Yan is intelligent, suddenly wants to break this principle, understood. He no doubt loves her beauty, but also that is all. That heart probably also wants to be nearer to Qing Luan, what are more in her is only the responsibility. Oneself want him to give itself the time, but is the bored arrogance. Because he has also never anticipated her anything. 云嫣聪慧,突然想破此理,也就明白了。他固然是爱她的美丽的,但也仅此而已。那一颗心离青鸾或许还要近些,于她更多的只是责任而已。自己要他给自己时间,不过是无聊的自大。因为他也从未期待过她什么。 Xu Xian is actually thinking another matter, must compile that «Bencao Gangmu» earnestly, perhaps must go to study the medicine is! 许仙却在想着另一件事,要认认真真的编写那本《本草纲目》,或许还得去学一下医才是!
