Joy of Life: The Mei Family's Son Grows Up

Chapter 13: Better than the Tiger and Leopard King's Wife

Mei Chengan scratched his head. What kind of rules are these? What happened? Are you leaving now? If I don't let you embarrass me, Fat Tiger, you won't embarrass me?

Never mind, it's not a bad thing for him overall.

"No one's here, Xiaolan, please sit down and eat with us."

Xiaolan sat aside obediently.

The two of them started eating. When they had almost finished half of the dishes on the table, Wang Qinian came in with a wine jug to toast them.

"Hey, where's the dean?"

Mei Cheng'an didn't even raise his head and was chewing something.

"Elbow."

"Gone?" Wang Qinian looked back and turned around again.

"Didn't he have the feast?"

"I ate a few bites, said a few words, and then left."

"How many bites? Did you two eat all the food on the table that was almost empty?" Wang Qinian had an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Well, what's wrong?"

"This is enough food for six or seven people. Did you two eat it all? Can your stomachs hold so much food? I'll ask Old Deng later how this was arranged."

"What do you mean, do you think I eat too much?"

"Um, no, no, this table is for you and Dean Chen. I thought you wouldn't be able to eat much, so I could eat the remaining food with my wife after you left. But who would have thought..."

"There are still several tables outside."

"The people at those tables are all in their prime, they are all animals, it would be strange if there are any left."

"....."

"You didn't ask them to leave some for you?"

"I have calculated everything accurately. Any extra bite is gone. It's all over. My wife is still hungry." Wang Qinian squatted on the ground with a sad expression.

"Ah this..."

Mei Cheng'an couldn't do this. He was just having a normal wedding banquet. Who would have thought that the host would still care about these leftovers.

"Old Wang, Old Wang, I'll just detain you to death!" Mei Cheng'an pointed at Wang Qinian in a bad mood, turned around and said to Xiaolan: "Go to Yishiju and prepare a table of food, and have them bring it over."

Xiaolan got up and left.

Wang Qinian was still squatting on the ground with a sad expression, but his eyes couldn't stop looking at Xiaolan's back.

Mei Chengan kicked him.

"Come on, stop acting here. Who are you acting for? Hurry up and get up. I've asked someone to buy you a table of home-cooked dishes in exchange for a table of Yishiju. Are you satisfied?"

Although Wang Qinian was kicked to the ground, he stood up directly with a flattering smile on his face.

"Satisfied, satisfied. It has to be Master Xiaomei. He is handsome and kind-hearted. He couldn't bear to see my wife and I go hungry on our wedding day. He is so righteous! Ah, my admiration for Master Xiaomei is like..."

"Stop it, stop talking nonsense. Why are you here? Aren't you here to toast?"

"Oh, yes, yes, I almost forgot about that."

Wang Qinian reacted and quickly poured himself a glass of wine. He put down the jug, held the cup with both hands, and gently touched the beer glass in Mei Chengan's hand.

"I toast to Mr. Xiaomei. I'll do it. You can do whatever you want."

Mei Cheng'an couldn't bear to hear this, so he picked up the glass and drank the beer in it in gulps.

"Sir, you have a good alcohol tolerance. I will drink three more cups with you."

"Come just come, whoever is afraid of whom."

……

On the other side, Shadow pushed Chen Pingping slowly down the street. The street was empty except for the half-eaten bowl of noodles, the steaming steamer, and the wontons that had just been served but not eaten, all of which showed how lively the street was just now.

"You seem very interested in that child." Shadow said.

"is a bit."

"That child's speech and manner are not like that of a nine-year-old child. Especially when he was facing you, Chen Pingping, his reaction was not normal."

"So what's the normal reaction to me?"

"Scared? Terrified? Anyway, his reaction wasn't right. The kid was a little too calm. Do you want me to check him out?"

"He is Mei Zhili's child. He has had a weak foundation since childhood and has a frail body. It is normal for him to get sick and take medicine. Last April, the child asked Mei Zhili to learn martial arts. Mei Zhili asked his disciple Chen Dongfeng to find some skills for him and invited two teachers, one is Xie Bian and the other is Wang Qinian."

"Xie Bian? The second prince's retainer? I know him. He is a very fast swordsman who is said to be able to break time with one sword. He has some skills. He was actually a teacher to this kid."

"After working as a teacher for half a year, I went to the Second Prince. Before leaving, he said that the child was more talented than him."

"You know all about this?"

"Don't forget that Wang Qinian is still a teacher in his house."

"From what you said, you started investigating that kid a long time ago. What attracted you to him?"

"Have you ever tried burp wine?"

"I've tried it. This wine is wonderful. It produces gas out of thin air. It tastes refreshing and cold. It's a good wine."

"Yes, it's a good wine. This wine is different from any other wine I have ever seen. I am very curious about how he came up with such a fantastic idea to brew this wine. Just like how the young lady made Wuliangye, that kid almost created a completely different wine out of thin air. So after the Hiccup Wine came out, I became very interested in it."

"Do you suspect that he is from the temple like Ye Qingmei?"

Chen Pingping shook his head.

"No, the kid's background is very clear. He can't be the same as the young lady. Maybe he just brewed it accidentally."

"Why didn't you ask clearly just now?" "Didn't the child say it very clearly? If you want to brew it, just brew it."

“Is this what you call an answer?”

"I'm just curious. We're not trying to catch a spy. Why do you have to ask so many questions?"

Shadow thought about it and felt that it made sense. After all, it was just a kind of wine, so it was really no big deal.

"What do you think of that kid's skills?"

"I can't tell. His swordsmanship may be good, but he probably hasn't practiced Qi."

"But Wang Qinian accidentally mentioned that he has true energy, and it seems that he is not weak."

The shadow suddenly stopped moving.

Chen Pingping suddenly laughed: "Why are you so nervous? Even if that kid has practiced Qi, what's the use? He has only practiced for a year at most. Don't forget, it was Wang Qinian who thought his Qi was strong, and Wang Qinian is not good at this."

Shadow thought about it carefully, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He pushed Chen Pingping and walked a few more steps. Hmm? No, he suddenly realized that it was Chen Pingping's words that led him to be startled.

He glared fiercely at the back of Chen Pingping's head.

"Then why do you say so much?"

Chen Pingping's shoulders were shaking with laughter.

"It's just a chat. Who would have thought you would react so strongly?"

The shadow went on strike, leaving Chen Pingping behind and turning away.

Chen Pingping maneuvered the wheelchair and turned around.

"What are you going to do?"

"Let's find a place to eat. You've already had your meal, but I haven't. I'm still hungry." Shadow answered without turning his head.

Chen Pingping spread his hands and shouted, "What should I do?"

"Push it back on yourself."

……

Originally, Mei Cheng'an and Wang Qinian were drinking in the small room. Later, after waiting for a long time and still no sign of Wang Qinian coming back, Mrs. Wang came over because she was really hungry.

All the guests outside had left. She looked around before finding Wang Qinian in this room. He was already drunk.

There were plates piled up on the table, and there were quite a lot of dishes.

"Husband, Madam, you are here. Hey, sit down! Let me introduce you."

He pulled Mrs. Wang to sit down, and the phoenix crown on her head was tilted, so she quickly straightened it.

"This, this is, Little Meihiccup, Master Xiaomei."

After saying that, Wang Qinian pulled Mei Chengan again.

"This, this is my wife, look how beautiful she is."

Mei Cheng'an was drunk and seemed to see Lin Xiaoniang, who was really beautiful.

"Hello, sister-in-law!"

Madam Wang forced a smile on her face and bowed, "Hello, Master Xiaomei!"

"Husband, Madam, please quickly toast Master Xiaomei."

Mrs. Wang turned sideways and glared at Wang Qinian fiercely. She reached down with her small hand, grabbed the tender flesh on Wang Qinian's waist and twisted it hard.

Wang Qinian cried out in a shrill and clear voice, and jumped up.

Mrs. Wang seemed not to see it, poured herself a glass of burp wine, raised the glass and said: "I toast to Master Xiaomei!"

Mei Cheng'an was startled by Wang Qinian's screams, and was startled by Mrs. Wang's gentle voice.

He hurriedly tried to raise his glass, but when he did, he found there was no wine in it. Xiaolan hurriedly added some.

He stood up, clinked glasses with Mrs. Wang, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Well, Lao Wang, sister-in-law, I won't bother you two anymore. I really bothered you today. I hope you won't blame me. To be honest, I wanted to leave a long time ago, but Lao Wang held me and wouldn't let me go. He insisted on drinking with me, which delayed me for so long. Now that sister-in-law is here, I feel relieved. I'm leaving first. Please don't see me off. Stay, stay!"

As he spoke, he walked towards the door, and after he finished the last sentence, he had disappeared at the door.

When Mei Chengan reached the door, he heard two crisp slaps in the room, then Wang Qinian's screams, followed by Wang Qinian's begging for mercy, and then crisp sounds and screams...
Mei Chengan and Xiaolan behind him looked at each other and both started to be surprised.

Old Wang, please don't blame me, I would rather die than let my friend die. After all, she is the legendary wife who is more powerful than tigers and leopards. We really can't afford to offend her.

After silently mourning for Wang Qinian, Mei Cheng'an took Xiaolan and quickly walked out of the Wang family courtyard.

Although Mei Cheng'an was frightened and sober now, there was still alcohol in his body. He walked unsteadily and staggered from side to side. Fortunately, Xiaolan supported him, otherwise he would have fallen down.

"Master, you drank a little too much today."

"I am happy that Lao Wang is getting married."

"Don't drink like this in the future. After all, you are still young and it is not suitable for you to drink."

Mei Chengan waved his hand.

"It doesn't matter."

After saying this, his mind moved, and the internal energy began to run quietly. A strong smell of alcohol emanated from Mei Chengan's body.

Xiaolan wrinkled her nose and continued to support the young master, wondering why the smell of alcohol was getting stronger and stronger, as if it was coming from the young master.

Gradually, he felt that the young master no longer needed his support. Not only did he walk more steadily, but his eyes became clearer as well. Until the young master waved his hand, a strong wind blew and completely blew away the smell of alcohol.

The wind stopped, and the young master looked just like when he first arrived, with bright eyes.
