Chapter 180: Invitations
Qiao Lan soon learned about Wugazi's dismissal, just because after Feng Qixiang received the news, he personally came to tell her.
Regarding the process of Wugazi's dismissal, Qiao Lan was noncommittal, but looking at Feng Qixiang's complacent expression, she felt that the whole thing was not set up by him for no reason. She thought so and asked so, but she didn't expect Feng Qixiang to feel as if he had been stepped on and had a sore foot, Huo Di jumped up and pointed at Qiao Lan, "Brother Qiao, you actually framed me for a villain." You and I have known each other for more than half a year, not to mention knowing each other, but you should also know my temperament. I don't say it's fair, but I wouldn't do anything like that. ”
"......" Qiao Lan thought, you are like a changing raccoon, one day at a time, I really don't know much about you. "Brother Kefeng, you seem to know that this will happen. ”
"That's nature. Stealing rice from my rice shop for three days, such a villain, if he doesn't have an accident, who else will have an accident. The expression on Feng Qixiang's face was really how he looked at it.
Wugazi did take advantage of his position to take a few rounds of rice from the rice shop, not much, one or two catties at a time, but it can be seen that this person loves to be greedy and cheap, and it is difficult to use it well. Because of Qiao Lan's face, Steward Tong asked the shopkeeper of the rice shop to turn a blind eye, but he didn't expect people to rush to find death. Originally, Steward Tong still thought that if Wugazi stopped being a demon, he would let him go, well, the so-called letting go is naturally good to gather and disperse.
Steward Tong also specially told Feng Qixiang, but when Feng Qixiang heard it, he smiled weirdly, obviously, he didn't believe in Wugazi's personality at all. Wugazi is because it is too easy to get, and he loses his gratitude. I don't know how to cherish, and then I have repeatedly stolen in the rice shop but no one has been caught, and I have tasted the sweetness, and once people have ** and greed, if they want to turn back, how easy is it to talk about......
"Can you choose the day for housewarming?" After choosing, I also packed up and moved to live in Taozhuang.
"March 16!" Don't bother the two masters, this is calculated by Wang Banxian. Qiao Lan didn't know that Feng Qixiang was also moving, she thought that she finally didn't have to look up and look down with Feng Qixiang. A smug smile.
"Eleven days to ......"
Housewarming is a great joy. Qiao Lan thought about it and decided to invite someone to come over to congratulate her.
She wrote an invitation and asked Fang Xiaoyong to send it to Lishan County, and Zhu Qishan, Tang Wenqiang and Lao Chai had it. As for Wuli Town. The four big households were sent away. Although they may not be present, there must be a number of etiquette, and they must be done enough.
Zhu Lizheng of Qingshan Village also received an invitation from Qiao's family. Zhu Lizheng, who has been depressed since his grandson Zhu Wenfan failed in the township test, finally felt a little more comfortable in his heart. It turns out. In the eyes of the Qiao family, he is still the number one in the ranks.
In fact, Qiao Lan didn't take Zhu Lizheng in her eyes at all, the reason why she wanted to send this invitation was just because she felt that she would live on the west coast in the future, and she would have to go to the east coast to enter and exit, if she gave Zhu Lizheng two points of face, it would save him worry, why not, she didn't want to be busy with her plans in the future, and she had to prevent Zhu Li from being bad, and the little people were not to be afraid, but sometimes they could also set off big storms.
She hopes that in the future, the west bank and the east bank will not interfere with the river water.
Receiving invitations, individual performance varies.
Lu Miaomiao couldn't resist the little sister's begging, and was grinding with Zhu Qishan, wanting him to nod and agree to help the little sister and "Qiao Gongzi" build a bridge, but in the past, although she was not obedient to her, but Zhu Qishan, who would reason with her if she refutated, vetoed it, and couldn't give a good reason at all, only saying that the two were not suitable.
At this time, a letter was sent in, and when Zhu Qishan looked at it, Lu Miaomiao glanced at it and said in surprise, "Gongzi Qiao is going to move to a new house?!"
"This is natural, the Qiao family has invited a full eighty craftsmen and small workers from the Chen family. ”
Zhu Qishan couldn't help but think that the five craftsmen from the capital praised and praised the craftsmen of Chenjiaao after learning the dragon craft on the west bank after returning from learning the dragon craft, and asked him to take care of the craftsmen of Chenjiaao before leaving, and this so-called care is to give the construction and repair project in the county to the craftsmen of Chenjiaao. Zhu Qishan agreed, but he was not a person who didn't care about it for the sake of giving face, he had seen the house that Chen Jiaao built for the Qiao family, and he knew that their craftsmanship was not bad, so he was happy to push the boat along the river.
When Zhu Qishan was talking to Lu Miaomiao, a girl outside the door left in a hurry and returned directly to the second courtyard, Lu Qingluan's boudoir......
Tang Wenqiang received the invitation sent by Qiao Lan, he was very happy for his little friend, and decided that he must go to congratulate him at that time.
Tang Wenqiang was a little embarrassed about what gift to give, so he went to his wife, Huang's staff officer.
Since Tang Wenqiang broke up, although his assets have shrunk seriously, there is only one Zhuangzi, three shops and 20,000 taels of silver, but he lives an extremely comfortable life.
Originally, he didn't ask for much, he used to sit in the position of the head of the family, just to better do what he wanted to do, but now, without the burden of the Tang family, he can still serve his strange flowers and plants at will, which is simply the life he dreamed of living.
What is especially gratifying to him is that his wife Huang did not dislike his current "downfall", and willingly lived with him in Zhuangzi, and sometimes served flowers and plants with him...... If it is really the road that knows the horsepower, the road will see the hearts of the people.
Huang's mother's family is also a big family in Lishan County, she is a pampered daughter since she was a child, and she can follow Tang Wenqiang to Zhuangzi to "endure hardship", that is true love, she really likes the life of Zhuangzi, just because here, Tang Wenqiang and her relationship is better than before, the two of them are in love with each other, Qin Se and Ming. The reason why those Yingying Yanyan's private complaints could reach Tang Wenqiang's ears was that she put a lot of effort into it.
When Tang Wenqiang found Huang, she was making shoes for Tang Wenqiang, and her embroidery skills were good, but for so many years, most of them were embroidering light things such as handkerchiefs and purses, and it took a lot of effort to make shoes, and she was a little struggling. Tang Wenqiang was distressed, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold her hand. Another burst of thoughtfulness.
The two couples were tired of it for a while, and Tang Wenqiang took out the invitation.
"Ah, that little friend of yours is really a young hero, and he took care of such a big family business alone at a young age, which is much better than you, my lord. This is magnified, which means that Tang Wenqiang can't take care of the Tang family, if usually, the Huang family doesn't dare to say such rebellious words, but she knows that today, she can be presumptuous.
Sure enough. Tang Wenqiang actually laughed heartily. "That's right, since ancient times, young people have been heroes, that kid is a human spirit, and I'm old. It's not like that. ”
"Nonsense!" Huang slapped Tang Wenqiang lightly. "I'm not old at all. is still the pretty official who saved the concubine in danger back then. ”
"Yes, yes, sir, I will always be Madame's pretty officer. ”
When Tang Wenqiang and Huang were tired, the door was not closed. It happened that the eldest son Tang Yuanqiu came over with his grandson Tang Junqi, and when he heard that his father and mother were still old and me, he really couldn't accept it, and when he saw his son's curious gaze, he immediately made a decision, picked up his son and left.
"Grandma is over there, and Daddy is going the wrong way, it's so stupid. ”
"They're talking about things, and we'll come back later. ”
"Oh!"
Lao Chai also received an invitation, and he must go, and he has to take his little apprentice there......
It would be nice to see that girl, the old firewood thought with the invitation.
The few people who received the invitations in Wuli Town, except for the Zhao family and the Fang family, the others either crumpled the invitations and threw them away, or they didn't even touch them......
The Fang family was not here, and now the housekeeper was the important steward who had been in contact with Qiao Lan a few times because of the spicy cabbage, and he asked his entourage to write down the matter and prepare to bring a generous gift when the time came.
The Zhao family, the landlord of Zhao was worried that he didn't know how to make his little granddaughter Zhao Qingli show her face openly, drowsy and met the pillow, and when he received the invitation, he was ecstatic, and hurriedly called Lu Duojin to discuss. He can't take his little granddaughter there, otherwise the intention will be too obvious, so he can only let the third daughter-in-law take the little granddaughter to go, and the third daughter-in-law goes, and the third son has to go too, so he can't go with them, but there is only one invitation......
How can the country hold a banquet is still very particular, take the invitation as an example, an invitation, can only go to one household, otherwise there is a suspicion of eating a large household, Zhao landlord and son are a family, son and daughter-in-law are also a family, but the three of them together must be two families.
At Lu Duojin's suggestion, the landlord of Zhao had no choice but to reluctantly cut his love and let his third son take his daughter-in-law and little granddaughter to Qiao's house to congratulate him, although he also wanted to go to Qiao's mansion on the west bank to see if it was as beautiful as it looked from the outside......
Zhao landlord wanted to form a marriage with the Qiao family, regardless of whether he was married or married, when he was looking forward to the Qiao family's housewarming, someone took the lead, and that person was Mrs. Li.
A few years ago, Mrs. Li and Liang Maohua talked about it, and under the persuasion of Mama Lin, Liang Maohua stopped asking Mrs. Li to find someone for the two daughters, and then Mrs. Li never appeared, she thought that Mama Lin sent people away, and she didn't take it to heart. But in fact, Mrs. Li really didn't come to the door because she was sick.
That day, Mrs. Li came out of Qiao's house and was ambushed by Chen Shenghua, when the two fell together, she flashed her waist, it was nothing at the time, and when she got home, this waist couldn't stand up. The illness came like a mountain, and her illness only got better after the New Year, and then Wugazi entrusted her to be a matchmaker......
Mrs. Li went through all the school-age men she knew, and really found a few decent ones, no, she came to Qiao's house. She is still looking forward to it, when the Qiao family moves out, she can also become a guest.
Knowing that a matchmaker came from outside and asked to see her wife, Mama Lin didn't let Yang Cong bother Liang Maohua, she personally went to welcome people in, but she didn't bring people into the inner courtyard to see Liang Maohua, but to the hall in the front yard.
couldn't see Liang Maohua directly, Mrs. Li felt that she was being despised by her, but Mama Lin's sentence "Madame hasn't even been cheerful lately, and she is resting" blocked all her dissatisfaction in her throat.
The third-grade official in front of the prime minister, Mama Lin's demeanor around her body is not like an ordinary subordinate, where does Mrs. Li dare to have extra words. She couldn't see Liang Maohua, and she was unwilling to leave empty-handed, so she had to leave the booklet she made to Liang Maohua, and the booklet was the information of several men she was optimistic about.
"Mrs. Li, you're late this time. Mama Lin poured tea for Mrs. Li without humility.
Mama Lin chuckled in her heart, "Late ...... It's late?!Why is it late?!"
"You see, this is what I asked you to do a few years ago, and now it's March. ”
"I ...... I'm not sick, so I'm sorry to delay this matter. Mrs. Li knew that she was wrong, and smiled flatteringly, "You said it was late...... Could it be that the eldest girl is married?"
"The big girl's business, it's not good, the master hurts like an eyeball, he said, you must help the big girl find a wishful husband, and no one else is allowed to interfere. You can give this booklet to the master...... I said late, referring to the second girl, the master has already made the decision and pointed her out the family affairs. ”
"I don't know if that Langjun is so lucky to fall into the eyes of Qiao Gongzi. ”
"At this time, it is still being discussed, and it is inconvenient for me to disclose it. You know, I'm just a subordinate, so I can't say too much. ”
"Understood! understood!" Hearing that "Qiao Gongzi" intervened, Mrs. Li didn't dare to be crooked for a while, "That's ...... The ......" she clutched the pamphlet in her hand, and somehow, couldn't get her hands on it. She believes that those who are selected will definitely be able to enter Liang Maohua's eyes, but "Qiao Gongzi" ......
Mama Lin handed Mrs. Li a purse, "It's hard work for you to go this way, this is hard work, moisten your throat." "Moisten your throat, that is, let her be merciful, don't say something that she doesn't have.
The purse started, and Mrs. Li knew that it was two taels of silver when she grabbed it hard, she was a matchmaker, and a beach was only one or two or two taels, and she only got five hundred wen for Wugazi's matchmaking.
The smile on her face was still forcibly pulled out, but now, she immediately laughed so much that she was sincere, and the auspicious words were poured out basket by basket, until she was sent out of Qiao's house, and the smile on her face couldn't come down.
On this day, Qiao Lan happened not to go out, and after Mama Lin sent Mrs. Li away, she didn't go back to Liang Maohua, but went directly to the back garden, knocked on the door of the study, and reported Mrs. Li's affairs to Qiao Lan.
While practicing calligraphy, Qiao Lan listened to Mama Lin say that she heard that there were still booklets to read, so she put down the pen in her hand and took the so-called booklet, which was actually just a few pieces of paper. She took the trouble to turn through them one by one, and there were three people on the first three pages, which should have been prepared for her, all of them were around thirty years old, with a lot of advantages and no shortcomings......
"Burn the !!" Qiao Lan handed the booklet to Baobao, who took the booklet, and without saying a word, lit the booklet from the charcoal basin, and then threw it into the brazier.
Mama Lin hesitated a little and said, "Master, do you want to tell Madam about this?"
Qiao Lan paused for a moment and picked up the pen again, "No need, if she asks, let's talk about it." ”
"Yes!" (To be continued.) )
