Chapter 106: Full of Tricks Full of Tricks
After three rounds of drinking, Li Sanlang's face was already red, and he staggered when he walked, and had to rely on the servant to support him to avoid falling.
Meng Ting's cheeks also flushed slightly, but this man was obviously used to drinking. Seeing his embarrassed appearance, he laughed and said, "A few glasses of wine have made you like this. Are you still a man?"
If Li Sanlang was not drunk, he would have stood up and argued with him fiercely. Unfortunately, he could not even understand what people were saying. He just leaned on the servant and muttered something.
Meng Ting ignored him and pulled Su Fengzhang, shouting, "Brother Su, ignore him. Let's continue drinking."
Su Fengzhang glanced at the sky outside and said helplessly, "Brother Meng, I really want to keep drinking, but it's getting late. If I don't go back soon, it will be dark soon. I'm staying at my elders' house, and I don't want to disturb them so late at night."
Meng Ting refused to let him go, saying, "What are you afraid of? It's getting late, so why not go back? It doesn't matter where you sleep. I can just send someone back to let them know."
Su Fengzhang didn't want to sleep outdoors, so he pried his hands apart and said, "Excuse me, but your followers have already come to urge us three times. I'm afraid my sister-in-law will come to visit soon."
Yes, Meng Ting is a well-known romantic and talented man, but he actually got married a year ago.
As expected, after hearing this, Meng Ting showed a disappointed look on his face. He sighed and said, "I should have listened to my mother and got married so early. Now there is a tigress in the family, and I can't drink happily."
Having said that, Meng Ting didn't mention the matter of staying overnight outside and drank a glass of wine in a depressed mood.
Seeing that they were almost drunk, Xu Zifeng smiled and shouted, "If you guys give me some face, we can get together more often in the future."
As they left Linjiang Building in twos and threes, the drunken ones were carried into the car. Su Fengzhang was surprisingly the most sober among them. Even Meng Ting said admiringly, "Brother Su, I didn't expect you, who looks so gentle, to be such a drinker."
Su Fengzhang couldn't help laughing and said, "I didn't drink as much as you."
Meng Ting leaned on his shoulder and laughed, "We drank quite happily today. We're evenly matched. You don't know that in the past, when I drank with them, they all passed out after a few drinks, and in the end I was the only one drinking alone. What's the point?"
Xu Zifeng heard this and said, "How many people can drink as much as you? Now, let Brother Su drink with you from now on. Don't keep forcing us to drink, otherwise we will go home drunk every time."
The three of them were chatting and laughing as they were about to leave when they suddenly heard a burst of crying. Meng Ting subconsciously shuddered and cursed, "Who is crying in the middle of the evening?"
The waiter took a look outside and frowned, shouting, "Why are you refusing to leave even when I chase you away? Don't you even know where you are? Do you think you can do this?"
But outside the door, there was a young girl in her prime kneeling. She was wearing a white dress and a small white flower on her head. She looked frail and pitiful.
Before she could say anything, her tears fell like pearls, and she choked and said, "Please help me, gentlemen. Xiao Cui is forced to sell herself to bury her father. As long as my father can have a grand funeral, Xiao Cui is willing to do anything."
As she said this, she knelt forward and reached out to hug Su Fengzhang's legs.
Su Fengzhang quickly stepped back a few steps to avoid her. Xu Zifeng was drunk and moved slowly, so she hugged him.
The waiter, seeing the situation was not good, rushed forward and tried to tear her apart, cursing, "Didn't the shopkeeper just give you one or two taels of silver? Isn't that enough to bury your father? Why are you still pestering customers?"
Xiao Cui just cried and said, "Gentlemen, please, I don't want my father to be buried in such a shabby way after his death."
It is said that women look prettier in mourning clothes. Xiao Cui looks really charming in her white clothes and crying.
What surprised her was that the people in front of her were as hard-hearted as stone.
The waiter was afraid of affecting the business, so he did not hold back when pulling her away. Su Fengzhang and Meng Ting watched coldly, and Xu Zifeng even wanted to kick her, without any mercy.
The shopkeeper also heard the commotion and came out to see what was happening. He said repeatedly, "Miss Xiao Cui, I've already given you the money, why are you still here? It's still hot out now. Aren't you afraid of the stench of the corpse?"
After saying this, he winked, and the two waiters behind him hurried over to pull the man away.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Cui cried out loudly, "Gentlemen, please be kind and help me."
At this time, a scholar happened to pass by and rushed over. He pushed the two waiters away and cursed, "You grown men, why are you bullying a helpless woman?"
The shopkeeper's face darkened as he explained, "Sir, you've misunderstood. This girl wants to sell herself to bury her father. I sympathize with her and have already given her money for burying the old man. However, she still refuses to leave and is even pestering us now. It's really embarrassing."
The scholar looked at Xiao Cui, but the latter just shook her head and cried, looking pitiful.
Before she could say anything, the scholar shouted, "Just now, you guys ganged up on her and bullied her. I saw it with my own eyes. Especially you guys, you are not worthy of being scholars. Don't you know how to pity the weak?"
Meng Ting is not someone who can bear being bullied. After hearing this, he sneered and said, "Who is this person? She is so hypocritical and speaks so nicely. Then you should help her. We don't have time to waste."
"Hurry up and go, today is really unlucky." Xu Zifeng also frowned, especially because there was a puddle of tears on his clothes.
The shopkeeper apologized again and again and personally escorted them to the carriage.
Just as Xiao Cui was about to chase after them, the scholar grabbed her and grabbed her. He shouted, "Girl, don't beg them. These cold-hearted people won't help you. I'll help you!"
Xiao Cui tried to shake his hand off but failed, so she could only say with tears in her eyes, "Thank you, sir."
On the other side, Meng Ting pulled Su Fengzhang and the other two into his spacious and luxurious carriage. As soon as he got in, he started laughing and scolded, "Where did this idiot come from? This is the first time I've seen such a fool."
Xu Zifeng also said, "That's right, there's something fishy about that woman, yet she's still rushing to help."
Meng Ting looked at Su Fengzhang again and asked with a smile, "But Brother Su, I didn't expect you to hide so easily. I thought a scholar with a good temper like you would also be kind and gentle to women."
Xu Zifeng also joked: "Isn't it? When she dodged, she didn't even bother to pull me back, causing me to cry while she hugged my legs."
Su Fengzhang touched his nose and felt that he had gone too far. He should at least pull Xu Zifeng away. "Brother Xu, I apologize to you. Next time, I will definitely pull you away with me."
The three of them looked at each other and burst into laughter.
Xu Zifeng asked with a smile, "How did you know that something was wrong with that woman?"
Meng Ting raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "I've been a womanizer since I was thirteen, and I've experienced a lot. How could such a trick fool me? It's not that I'm proud, I could tell she was crying as soon as she started."
Xu Zifeng also laughed and said, "I was scammed once before, but that person was arranged by my mother. She was afraid that I would fall into a trap when I was away from home alone, so she simply found someone to scam me and teach me a lesson."
Su Fengzhang was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself, "So you ancient people were so good at having fun."
At this moment, the two turned around at the same time and asked, "Brother Su, how did you see that?"
Su Fengzhang did not hide it and analyzed: "Qingzhou is a prosperous place. There may be families who cannot afford to eat, but they are few after all."
"This woman said she wanted to sell herself to bury her father, yet she dressed up elaborately and refused to leave even after taking the shopkeeper's money. Could it be that a poor family still wants a lavish funeral?"
"She's a woman, a young one at that, and yet she dares to hug a man's thigh and cry without the slightest bit of shyness or hesitation. This clearly isn't a problem for her. How could a decent girl do this?"
"Besides, if they are from outside, their accent shouldn't be from Qingzhou. If they are from Qingzhou, won't they be able to find their relatives and friends?"
"From beginning to end, she is full of contradictions, making people doubt whether selling herself to bury her father is true or not."
"But even if it's true, since the shopkeeper has already given the money, we have no relationship with her, and it's not appropriate for men and women to be intimate with each other. If we go to her house to help, it would be inappropriate. It would damage her reputation and be a great sin."
After hearing this, Meng Ting and Xu Zifeng looked at each other and burst into laughter at the same time.
Meng Ting even put his arm around Su Fengzhang's neck and said, "Brother Su, I like you more and more. It's a good thing that Li Sanlang is drunk today. If he were awake, he would definitely be entangled. He looks smart, but he's actually stupid."
Su Fengzhang looked over in confusion. Meng Ting leaned over and whispered in his ear, "You don't know, Li Sanlang once lost face for his wife for a concubine, causing unrest in the family. In the end, it was Madam Li who came forward to clean up the mess. Tsk tsk."
Xu Zifeng also felt the same way and said, "People like us can have any kind of woman we want, but we can't touch those with unknown origins. Not only can we not help others, but we will get into trouble."
Meng Ting laughed and said, "That's absolutely true. Next time I'll take you to see the girls along the Yangchun River. They are so charming and graceful, they are in no way comparable to wildflowers and weeds."
Seeing the topic taking a strange turn, Su Fengzhang quickly stopped talking: "We will have to leave for Beijing soon, I'm afraid there won't be a next time."
Xu Zifeng suggested, "That's true. Why don't we go together? We can have someone to look after us along the way."
The three of them decided the matter in the carriage. After entering the city, Su Fengzhang returned to his own carriage.
As soon as he got in the car, Su Arong turned around and asked, "Erlang, the owner of Linjiang Tower just sent me a gift box. I refused to accept it at first, but he said since you knew about this, it was for the painting and poetry he was writing today, so I kept it."
Su Fengzhang nodded, and when he opened the box, he was surprised for a moment. He quickly closed the box and said with a smile, "It is indeed a fee for writing. This shopkeeper is really generous."
