378 Confession
Mingyue was supposed to come back in April, but at the beginning of May, there was still no news of him, and Xin'er got it early, not from Mrs. Ji, but from Miss Wu.
Miss Wu got married, more and more unrestrained, the newlyweds are like glue again, her husband always has some literary friends to meet, she has someone around her to take care of these, she is impatient to listen to these sour texts, so she has to run to Shi Gui here, and she has a stubble without a stubble, seeing that her eyes are very hot when she opens a shop, and the head of Xingxing also said that she wants to open a shop.
She wants to run to ordinary people's homes, Mrs. Wu is not at ease, she is going to Shi Gui, she is relieved, not only has the affection of relatives, but also often sends some food and drink, as the days go by, everyone knows that the son-in-law of the Shi family is related to the Wu family, and even the gossip is much less.
Miss Wu always has to talk about it every five days and seven days, and she calls her sister-in-law when she opens her mouth when she enters the door, and she doesn't take Shi Gui as an outsider at all.
Mingyue was before leaving Jinling, recognized Wu Qianhu as a father-in-law, Mingyue failed to be a son-in-law, Wu Qianhu was very frustrated, now this is good, but Weng son-in-law wants to play a knife than an arrow, that is no longer possible, thought about it for a few days, before Mingyue went to Jinling, he set up a banquet and recognized him as a righteous son.
He has kindness in Mingyue, Mingyue refuses to be said to be attached, Wu Qianhu pushed him away twice, if he really wants to recognize him as a son, he has to take the martial arts exam, and then he will be considered a meritorious person, and it is not a bend of his waist to recognize this family.
Wu Qianhu likes that he has ambition, if he is really a soft neck and soft legs, as soon as he heard that he kowtowed to his father first, he didn't dare to admit it, his own persuasion could not move, or Mrs. Wu opened his mouth: "If you want to make a marriage, someone has to come forward, and if you recognize your son, you will be our son, and the three books and six ceremonies are better-looking." ”
She has always been afraid that her daughter will not have a family to rely on, after watching Mingyue for a few years, her temperament is like coals, she has lost her calmness, and her background is unsatisfactory, being a son-in-law is a little worse, but it is better to be a righteous son, not to mention that it is Shi Gui who has set up her family.
Daughter has not had anyone to speak to for many years, Shi Gui looked at the quiet girl, her temper was right for her daughter's temperament, Mrs. Wu also inquired, she is not a capable person who can't afford to run two restaurants, neither of them depends on people's tempers, the more this way, the longer they can stay.
recognized his son, that is, he has a foundation, has an extra family, and can walk around once during the festival, he is not a person without roots, and he looks good on both sides of everything.
The three books and six ceremonies have already gone for the most part, Mingyue is in a hurry, Shi Gui doesn't care, but he feels that it is a little worse, Mrs. Wu's words are on his heart, so he nodded in response.
I kowtowed seriously, I saw my father and mother, I couldn't change my mouth for a while, and I still called an adult in my mouth, this thing was done in a hurry, but it was proper, and red posts were sent everywhere, according to the number of courtesies.
When Shi Gui saw it, he knew that it was Mrs. Wu's handwriting, and then he sent ten wedding cakes to the Shi family to be sent to the neighbors.
called the matchmaker, and when he saw the gift list, he shook his head and said that it was too simple: "I'm still young, how can I get things done." "Let the matchmaker run again and make up for the dowry, Mrs. Wu has a good hand, the more she gives Shi Gui a face, the closer Mingyue is to the Wu family.
The son is still young, there are still seventeen or eighteen years to be regarded as a man, but no one can help him, opened the library and picked out a few fine arrowroot cloths, knowing that Shi Gui likes plain colors, but marriage can not be all plain, pick out some goose yellow, willow, green and apricot red, and then press two makeup satin, wrapped with gold and silver satin, and the words are also beautiful: "Don't wear it at this time, there is also a time to wear it." ”
This makeup satin is not allowed by the people, Mrs. Wu said this is to please a good mouth, how can it be so easy to become a wife, Shi Gui naturally thanked him, and Qiu Niang also held a wine ceremony to thank him.
If Mingyue wants to get married, she must also have a house, the two pairs of Mrs. Wu are just a decimal, and the small courtyard is set up immediately, but Shi Gui feels awkward, it is a dowry and a house, and the dowry is not enough, the house is always unsteady in the heart of living in another person, and I want to discuss with Mingyue, and Mingyue is far away in Jinling City.
But Mrs. Wu had a good intention, and she was afraid that Mingyue would come back and it would be difficult to do, so she had to accept it first, but she didn't go to see the house, nor did she measure the house, the small courtyard was prepared, and the woman's family could make furniture without measuring the room, saying that she would pick it out when Mingyue came back.
But Mingyue never came back, and when she first arrived in Jinling, she wrote a letter back, and the closer the exam day became, the more there was no letter, and Shi Gui was not in a hurry, and he would always come back after the exam.
Unexpectedly, there was no news to be sent back at the end of April, but Miss Wu rushed to sit in a sedan chair, and when she entered the door, she was a group of happy children, holding her hand: "Brother Wu is in it!"
Shi Gui was stunned for a while, Mingyue didn't think about the meeting, three years ago, he only tested kung fu, but this year, because of the war, the sage set out the detailed rules for the martial arts exam, which was even more difficult than the original
In addition, you have to choose three things from the swords, guns, swords, halberds, and fists, arrange the camp array, load and disassemble gunpowder, and drive the chariot.
Mingyue inquired about changing the rules, and immediately thought that he was out of play, he had only just learned the theory of strategy, not to mention how well he wrote, he could also read it, and he had eaten half a volume of the art of war, and the rest would not stand out.
Only when the rise and knowledge goes, he will come back when he falls off the list, who knows that he has been admitted to the exam, since he has passed the exam, he has to take the exam again, the martial arts are on the top, and there is a martial champion.
Miss Wu saw the letter in her father's study, and hurriedly came over to report it: "My mother said that such a happy event should be prepared, and I will be faster than her." ”
Qiu Niang was overjoyed, take a look at her daughter, she suffered so many grievances in front of her, and sure enough, God made it up to her, and the two of them were married before admitting their godparents, and now they are in high school again, how can their daughter marry in the past.
Saying that he was going to the temple to worship the Bodhisattva, burn incense to the Bodhisattva, and chant the Buddha again and again in his mouth, Xizi's eyes lit up, and the stone father couldn't stand for a long time, and he stood up tremblingly while holding on to the chair, with a smile on his face.
Mrs. Wu's gift fruit then arrived, copied the list text, and Mingyue was nailed to it, and sent wine and meat, so that the Shi family could share it with the neighbors.
The family was happy, but Shi Gui was still looking forward to Mingyue's early letter, not seeing his pen and ink, always not at ease, Qiu Niang Green Calyx went out with things to distribute, there was no one in the alley Wuju people, first someone muttered in his heart that the Shi family was lucky, picked up a son-in-law and recognized a thousand households as godfathers, and now he has become a martial arts person, the size is also famous, and there is Yinmi in the future, which is an official body.
Mingyue's letter was delivered to Shi Gui a few days later, Shi Gui hurriedly opened it, a thick letter, Mingyue babbled and wrote a lot of words, the ink was deep and shallow, obviously not written in a day, such a thick stack of paper, I don't know how long he wrote.
Some of them have two or three lines of words on a piece of paper, and some of them are full of words, and when the writing is broken, he will wipe it with a pen, and one ink dot after another, all the words he wrote badly.
Shi Gui couldn't help but laugh when he saw that he said that Jinling was very cold, thanks to wearing thick socks and leather boots, otherwise he would have frozen his toes.
Shi Gui knew that he was coaxing her to be happy, Xizi had been in Yanjing for a few years, and practiced the ability to be not afraid of the cold, everyone wore clips in Suizhou in winter, only he wore single, saying that Yanjing was a few feet thick in snow, and he had to practice boxing exercises at that time, and the winter in Suizhou was like in spring.
No matter how cold it is in Jinling City in winter, leather boots and thick socks are enough, the silver is enough, and there is a charcoal fire in the inn to roast him, so as not to freeze him.
Half of Mingyue's letter was either to make her happy, or to say that he missed her and wanted to eat meat, Shi Gui saw that his face was slightly red, and the last letter was written in a hurry, the handwriting was messy, and there were many ink spots, only saying that he was hit, and after being proud, he said that he thought he was inferior to others, and the result was that there were more people than him.
More than a dozen pieces of paper, only this one said that he was taking the exam, neither talking about reading books nor practicing calligraphy, and it was like a cake falling from the sky, but Shi Gui knew that he must have worked hard, otherwise he would not have said that he was frozen in the middle of the night, and he put his feet on the brazier to roast the fire, and burned his wool socks.
In addition to writing a letter to Shi Gui, there was also a letter to Wu Qianhu, where he wrote in detail how to take the exam, the first time he played the sword and fist beautifully, there were people in it who could play a big knife of 300 catties, and the strong wind that blew up made people's scalps hurt.
He also said that how the people in the camp lined up and how the people in the Shenji battalion loaded the iron bullets, thanks to his two years of reading the military book, he could draw a few formations with his eyes closed, as for the sea chart, the one painted by Shi Gui was hung opposite his bed, and when he looked up, he saw it, and even the Dao Fu was drawn.
When it was time to ask him, he would endorse the book again, and he had fought again, and he was selected to become the first class, and there were a few people with low official positions like him in the first class, but he was the youngest.
Wu Qianhu looked happy, and stepped up to ask his wife if the yard was ready, Mrs. Wu glanced at him: "It's all ready, there is a golden laurel tree on one side of the yard, but they have to be willing to ask for it, why don't you write a letter and say it to Qianli, both of them are hard, he doesn't nod, and the other one refuses to ask for it." ”
Wu Qianhu sent his family to Beijing, and then he took the exam, and he couldn't leave to come back until the autumn, for fear that he would have no one to take care of in Beijing, so he asked someone to take a boat to Jinling with a plate of silver and letters.
Wait for Shi Gui to continue to believe that the summer solstice festival has passed, pickled salted eggs at home, eat three fresh from the ground, Shi Gui Xizi and the two are about to be filial piety, Qiu Niang bought a basket of chicks and came back, fed millet and water, and when the two of them are filial piety, they can be slaughtered to make up for their bodies, Shi Gui is good, but Qiu Niang is very thin, and she has to do work and only eat green vegetables and tofu, how can people survive.
Eggs are eaten one a day, and they still lose weight, they can't get meat oil, and they are hungry in their stomachs.
Shi Gui took the letter, Mingyue persuaded her to accept it, take it at this time, and have to return it in the future, Shi Gui went to see the house, measured the furniture, and picked up a lot of wood to make a set of the house.
The carpenter asked her what color she wanted to carve, and Shi Gui laughed: "You don't have to carve that complicated knot, it will be strong and durable." "The most important thing is that it is still strong, and the tent on the bed in her room is already shaky and not very reliable. 166 Reading Network
