Chapter 111: Wangfu
The third master of the Zhou family couldn't bear to watch his future uncle's family suffer, so he found a quiet yard and moved the Kong family out of the dilapidated small courtyard. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the third master not only did not dislike this family business, but also personally carried the in-laws who could not walk to the carriage. Of course, no one knew that when the old man returned home on Wednesday, he burned the newly made robe, and after soaking three buckets of water, he felt that there was no bad smell on his body.
For a while, the teahouse and wine shop were lively again, and the affairs of the Zhou family and the Kong family were rumored again. Some people commented that the Kong family must have done good deeds and accumulated virtue in their previous life before they met an in-law like the Zhou family. Some people say that the third master of the Zhou family is a good person who fights for righteousness and squanders money, and righteousness is thin and cloudy, and he is a rare good person. Some people say that the Kong family and the Zhou family are a match made in heaven, and they will definitely get better and better, and it is possible for the young master of the Kong family to pay homage to the prime minister.
Within a few days, the third master of the Zhou family spent a lot of money to invite Lang Zhong from other places to see a doctor for Father Kong. After three pairs of medicines, combined with Lang Zhong's ancestral acupuncture, Kong's father's illness improved. After two courses of treatment, Father Kong was able to walk around on the ground.
The Zhou family and the Kong family were very happy, and on Wednesday, the lord also specially held a banquet for this purpose, and invited several familiar families, as well as several neighbors who lived around the Kong family. First, I would like to thank Lang Zhong for his rejuvenation, and secondly, of course, to celebrate the physical recovery of Father Confucius.
Of course, no one who came to the banquet came empty-handed, and more or less brought gifts. At the end of the song, when the people dispersed, Confucius and Kong Mei, who had never received gifts, couldn't care so much, and couldn't wait to open the gifts, smiling so much that they couldn't see their teeth.
Father Kong held the teacup, sat on the chair and sipped the tea slowly, looking at the mother and daughter with a smile. pursed his lips with disdain, and snorted: "The little family is angry, and I don't know anything at all." That's what it is. Although he said so, he didn't drink a sip of the tea in his hand, craned his neck, and squinted his eyes to look at the gifts opened by the mother and daughter for a moment. From time to time, his eyes widened and he showed a look of amazement.
"Although big families often hold banquets to entertain guests, but this banquet of the lord on Wednesday is different from ordinary banquets, it is another discussion in the streets and alleys!" Chunya said after hearing the news from outside, standing under the porch and shaking his head. She has an apple face, her eyes narrowed into a slit when she smiles, and her whole person looks very pleasing.
Lan Xin lay on the chaise longue covered with a thick quilt under the porch, eating the melons on the plate with a toothpick, while listening to Chunya talk about the gossip outside. In the past few days, Mother Yang has been sending some nourishing soup and water, Lan Xin's complexion has improved a lot, and the wound is no longer painful, but sometimes it is itchy and uncomfortable.
The weather is fine and sunny today. Qinghe and Dongxiu helped her out for a walk, but her body was still a little weak, and she couldn't walk after a few steps, but she didn't want to go back to the house and lie down and continue to get moldy. So a few people moved the recliner to the porch, spread a thick futon, and let Lan Xin lie on it to bask in the sun.
Ziyi cut a plate of melons and placed them on the small stool next to her, just as Chunya came back from outside. Lan Xin asked the three of them to sit under the porch with a stool and listen to Chunya talk about interesting things outside. Since living in the small courtyard, the master and servant have not gone out. Lan Xin didn't want to be isolated from the world, so he often let Chunya or Chuncao go out and tell everyone about some things that happened on the street.
When they first heard Chunya talk about the Zhou family, the three of them all looked at Lan Xin worriedly. Seeing that her expression was as usual, with a look of great interest, the three of them glanced at each other, put their hearts at ease and continued to listen to Chunya.
"Then what are you talking about on the street this time?" Lan Xin asked curiously, swallowing the melon in his mouth.
Chunya said in a crisp voice, "Now the second girl of the Zhou family is spreading the word Wangfu on the street. Some people don't believe it, and some people tell everything that has happened since the Kong family and the Zhou family got married. Everyone thought of the good things that happened to the Kong family, and they all believed it. Now it is rumored on the street that the second girl is Wangfu Yizixiang. ”
"Well, it's hard for us to sprout. After listening to the gossip, Lan Xin praised with a smile, "Let Sister Ziyi cut a piece of melon for you to eat." ”
"Thank you, girl!" Chunya curtsied, thanked with a smile, and said with a wink, "Girl, can you replace the melon with a nest candy?"
Those watery eyes were full of anticipation, and no one could bear to refuse, Lan Xin said with a smile: "It turns out that our Chunya likes to eat wosi candy?!" Seeing the little girl blushing and lowering her head abruptly, Lan Xin's heart softened, and said with a smile: "Yes, let Sister Ziyi bring it to you." But don't eat too much, and be careful that your teeth are eaten up by bugs. ”
"No, girl. The slave and maid rinsed their mouths every time they ate the sugar, so that there was no sweetness in their mouths, and the worms would not eat my teeth. Chunya said seriously. The serious expression made the people under the porch laugh. When the little girl heard everyone's laughter, her face turned even redder, and she stomped her feet nonchalantly, and emphasized seriously: "Oh, these are true!" in exchange for even greater laughter.
The little girl's brows furrowed tightly, and it wasn't until Ziyi raced the nest candy into her hand that she ran away with a smile.
Lan Xin curled the corners of his mouth slightly, squinting at the ever-changing white clouds in the clear blue sky. pushed the plate to the side, signaling the three people in purple to divide the rest, Lan Xin has never been harsh on them in these foods.
Qinghe ate the melon in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Why do I think something is wrong? How can everyone talking about the streets and alleys say that the Zhou family is good? They are simply blowing the third master into the sky." ”
"Oh, you're still impatient, so you can't swallow what you say before you speak?!" Dongxiu glanced at her with disgust, thought for a while and said, "Every family in Xuzhou City who is married to each other knows only a few families." How could there be such a fanfare as the Zhou family? After saying that, he pursed his lips disdainfully.
This has made the streets and alleys talk a lot, and it is no different from beating gongs and drums. Ziyi concluded.
Yes, it is. Qinghe pursed his lips and said, "And I guess, the third master of the Zhou family must have spent money to hire someone to say good things for him this week, otherwise why would everyone say how good the Zhou family is?"
"Well, it's possible. Otherwise, it would not be possible for everything that happened between the Zhou family and the Kong family to make a fuss. Dong Xiu also nodded in agreement, and then she asked suspiciously: "What is so special about the marriage between the second girl of the Zhou family and the Kong family this time, which is worthy of such publicity from the Zhou family?"
