Chapter Seventy-Three: Spring Breeze and Rain
The moon in late April was cut in half, but the moonlight on the ground did not lose its shape. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info moon shines on the earth, like silver light paving. The carriage stepped forward in the moonlight and staggered into Mingzhou City.
Master Shen estimated that he would arrive at the door of the house in two minutes, opened the curtain and said to the people who followed the carriage, "Go home and inform Madame." ”
Shen Laibao, who was half-asleep and half-awake, opened his eyes, saw his subordinates pulling out his legs and running in the direction of home, and couldn't help asking, "It's almost ugly, why do you have to call your mother up?" ”
Master Shen said, "Wake up, so I can instruct my subordinates to boil water and cook, I entered the room, and she has to serve her, right?" ”
Shen Laibao paused, "You did this before?" ”
"Other family members do the same." Master Shen said, "The husband returns late, but the wife is asleep, what kind of system is this." Let others know, and also say that you are useless. ”
"Where can you say that it's useless, I feel sorry for my wife and don't wake her up, it has nothing to do with uselessness. Shouldn't it be said that the flounder is in love? ”
Master Shen shook his head and smiled, "My son still doesn't know what a husband is prestigious, in the future, you can't be so used to your wife."
。 I have to let her know what it means to be a husband. Her husband is tired of doing business, how can she sleep soundly alone? ”
Shen Laibao shrugged his shoulders and did not answer. No matter how much he said, in his father's opinion, it was all crooked, and it was all detrimental to his husband.
The father and son of the Shen family, who rushed back overnight, got out of the car, and Mrs. Shen, who got up in a hurry, just led the next person to greet and pick up the father and son, "I used to come back in the daytime, why did I rush to leave in the middle of the night this time." Look at the Lebour, his eyes are swollen. ”
Shen Laibao touched the corners of his eyes, where were his swollen eyes when he had slept in the car. He grabbed her arm and walked inside, smiling, "I'm fine, mother." When it was dark a hundred miles away, I thought about going home quickly, and I had no intention of spending the night outside. ”
If he knew that his father would be so inconsiderate of his mother, he proposed to spend the night a hundred miles away.
Mrs. Shen was disturbed in the middle of the night, and it can be seen that her husband and son are still very happy, and she ordered her subordinates to do all kinds of work, and the sleepiness in her eyes dissipated little by little, and finally when her husband fell asleep, she was still very energetic, and she lay down for a long time before returning to her dream.
Shen Laibao washed his hair and did not dry, so he sat cross-legged on the couch in front of the window and read a book, drying his hair by the night breeze.
It's not good to be an ancient, a man's hair is as long as a woman's, and after washing it for so many years, he can't accept that he has thick black hair. However, when he got up in the morning, he tied his hair up, with a white jade crown on the top, and his forehead was exposed, which made him look energetic and heroic.
But no matter how men change, they only change their hair, not like women, not to mention all kinds of jewelry, as well as buns, and various earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. He leaned against the window and was dazzled just by the thought of the bell and the bun and hair accessories that he had changed after the flute.
It seems that he will be diligent in buying all kinds of hairpins for her in the future, and he will not bring the same kind for 365 days a year.
That's why he has to work harder to make money.
In order to buy and buy for Xiaohua.
Thinking of the little flower next door, Shen Laibao looked up in the direction of the next door, not knowing if she was back.
He thought of something he had been thinking about on the road, how to attack the future mother-in-law?
&&&&&
Shen Laibao, who has never had experience in attacking mother-in-law, learned from Master Shen early in the morning, and when Master Shen heard him say how to win the favor of the woman's mother, his eyes suddenly lit up, "My son, do you want to please your future mother-in-law?" ”
His father's intuition was really strong in this kind of matter, and Shen Laibao bowed down, nodded and said, "Hmm." ”
Master Shen couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that my grandson will be born next year, and my father has thought about it, the male will be called Shen Guoku, and the female will be called Shen Qianqian." ”
“…… Dad, can you help me think about how to plan my future mother-in-law first? ”
"Absolutely."
"You say."
Master Shen whispered, "Dad has saved a lot of money, and I will add another fifty boxes of dowry gifts to you in private." ”
Shen Laibao knew that his first thought of this tyrant father was to use money to buy off the other party, "His family is not short of money, and he doesn't care about money." ”
"That's easy, do what she likes, give her what she likes."
Shen Laibao felt that this method was feasible, "What else?" ”
"Attentive
。 Master Shen concluded at the end, "How do you please the girl you like, and how do you treat your mother-in-law roughly, they are all women, and they have something in common." ”
Shen Laibao thought about it, he must not be able to send hairpins, he must not be able to hold an umbrella together, and he must not be able to ...... together Build a snowman.
Huh? What does he usually do to Xiaohua?
Why do you feel that you don't treat Xiaohua in a special way, aren't they all like this?
yes, what does that little flower like about him?
Shen Laibao, who had never thought about this question, fell into deep thought, Xiaohua is so good, what does he like about him?
Master Shen watched his every move in his eyes, and he was secretly happy in his heart. After breakfast, he returned to the room before he said to his wife, "If it goes well, I'm afraid that we will have to put red flowers in front of our house this year." ”
Mrs. Shen hadn't figured out this word for a while, and Mrs. Shen immediately understood, and her eyes suddenly brightened, "My grandson is going to bring me my granddaughter-in-law?" ”
"No, they all asked me how to please my future mother-in-law."
Old Madam Shen pouted, "It's not easy, add thirty more boxes of dowry." ”
Mrs. Shen smiled, "The girl that Noble likes is definitely not greedy for money at home, otherwise there is no need for Noble to ask for marriage so hard, and there is no reason for Noble to ask his father how to please others." ”
Old Lady Shen and Old Master Shen felt quite reasonable, and now they were even more satisfied, "It turned out to be a high-ranking family who is not greedy for money, which is really good." ”
Her son's marriage has become a problem for Mrs. Shen, and Mrs. Shen is very happy knowing that her son has a girl she likes. took the subordinates out to find someone to play cards and passed by the Hua family, and it happened that Mrs. Hua came out, only to feel that Mrs. Shen smiled differently than before, and it was a joy in her heart. Seeing that she also smiled, "This is a happy event, so happy." ”
Mrs. Shen shook her hand and said, "I'm happy for Noble." ”
"Oh? What's wrong with this kid Noble? ”
Mrs. Shen shook her head, "Still calling the child, this is about to make me worry to death." The men of our two families have always been married early, and they can be fathers at the age of seventeen or eighteen, but Noble is dragged to nineteen, my mouth is going to be dry, and the threshold is also being flattened by the matchmaker, but he doesn't want any girl, so anxious that I can't sleep well in the past two years. ”
Liao smiled, "It's just fate." ”
"Yes, now it seems that fate has finally arrived, and that bastard boy asked me this morning, how to please the future mother-in-law, isn't this a clear girl you like?"
Liao Shi rolled his eyes slightly, does Shen Laibao have someone he likes? Could it be that this trip is half a month, which girl do you like?
That's not her own daughter, and her daughter hasn't been at home for half a month. She suddenly rejoiced, "This dare is good, hurry up and give him an idea, surrender to the mother-in-law, and get married in the autumn." ”
When Mrs. Shen mentioned the marriage, she was even more happy in her heart, and she responded again and again. Liao Shi said, "It's best to do what you like, if you like calligraphy and painting, you will send calligraphy and painting, if you like gold and silver, you will send gold and silver, if you like to watch a play, please go to the play, if you like to listen to music, you will accompany you to listen to music." ”
Mrs. Shen felt that the Liao family was really a think tank, thanked her, stopped even rubbing the cards, turned around and went home, and told her son the scriptures she had just taken.
Only then did Shen Laibao know that his father had publicized this matter in an uproar, and when he glanced out the door, even his subordinates looked eager, as if he was about to take a young grandmother home
He regretted once again why he didn't dabble in a wider range of things, how to attack his mother-in-law and mother-in-law.
However, this opportunity didn't come across at the time, did it?
Fortunately, only his own family members know, and it doesn't matter, just don't let the Hua family next door know, he solemnly admonished, "Mother, don't tell others about this matter." ”
Mrs. Shen wants to be neighbors with the Hua family for many years, and everything can be passed on to the wall, and sooner or later she will know. But the son looked serious, and he still didn't say that she had mentioned it to Liao, and when the marriage was completed, she would tell him again, and let him thank the military advisor again. She nodded, "Listen to my son." ”
Shen Laibao was relieved to send his mother away, and called Ah Wulai to fully understand what the Liao family liked. He roughly knows a little bit, listening to music, watching operas, appreciating calligraphy and paintings, swimming in the lake, enjoying flowers and eating melon seeds.
Hey, he seems to know a lot.
Shen Laibao has already formulated a "one-day trip" in his heart. Instead, she asked Ah Wu to go to the theater to book a few seats, and after watching the play, she went to the restaurant to eat and order the dishes she liked. After eating, she went to the lake to enjoy the flowers, and then called a few singers to sing a little song to her. After listening to the song, I went ashore to visit the gallery after swimming in the lake, then had dinner and went home. He also had to take his mother with him, so it was much more natural.
Shen Laibao, who has been honed for many years, is already familiar with the execution of the plan, and it only took half a day to arrange everything. If you don't have to ask someone to go to the car to tell you, it's much more convenient if you have something like a phone.
He wanted to make telephones, but his main focus was finance rather than physics, and even if he studied physics, it was not something that could be done simply.
If he could make a telephone, his first thought would be to make takeout.
In the scorching summer, when the snow is white, someone delivers takeaways, how happy.
He shook his head, and sure enough, he still had a trace of nostalgia for the new world.
In the evening, it was close to dinner time. The Hua family hadn't eaten yet, and Liao, who was busy directing his subordinates, suddenly received an invitation from the Shen family next door, saying that Mrs. Shen asked her to go to play with her tomorrow, but she didn't explain what it was.
The neighbors invited, but the Liao family couldn't refuse, so he asked the next person to reply that he would see him in the morning.
Mrs. Shen, who listened to her son's instructions and sent an invitation, was also strange and asked her son, "Why did you invite your aunt Hua to play?" ”
Shen Laibao, who didn't want to show his intentions for fear that his mother would leak his mouth, said, "When I went to Xiguanfu, I met Uncle Hua and was taken care of, and now Uncle Hua hasn't come back yet, and I happen to be free, so I invite you two to play together." ”
Mrs. Shen hadn't heard her husband and son mention the matter on the road, so she was surprised, "Didn't you leave a day late?" This is also encountered? It's unusual. ”
"When I arrived in Wanxia Town, I encountered a collapse on the front road, and I was delayed for a few days, so I met it." Master Shen also sighed that there was fate, and he sighed and sighed with a subtle feeling.
The son's future mother-in-law, fate, Hua family, please Liao's ......
Master Shen chuckled in his heart, looked at his son suddenly, and almost didn't ask if his crush was Hua Ling!
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, the two grew up together, and it was easy to have some feelings between men and women. And when he was at the Wanxia Town Inn, his son cared about his image for no reason, but even if it was for the girl he liked, where was the girl?
Only flower bells
He suddenly realized, and finally decided that what his son liked was Hua Ling, the daughter of the flower family next door.
Master Shen, who believed in himself, was instantly unconfident after knowing that his son was going to marry the daughter of the Hua family.
The Hua family is different from other families, they don't love money, and they may not like their rich family. Especially Hua Ling, didn't he even refuse the marriage proposal of Zhizhou's son, and there were the richest businessmen in other prefectures who didn't even let in the door.
Master Shen looked at his son, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable. It can be seen that his son is serious, and it is because he is too serious that the father feels how uncomfortable his son will be after being rejected.
Shen Laibao didn't know his father's worries at all, and he never thought that there would be difficulties that he couldn't overcome.
All he wanted was to open the doors that hindered him and marry Xiaohua home.
&&&&&
Liao went to the appointment as scheduled the next day, and came out of the house, but saw two carriages in front of the door, she looked at the carriage in front of her, and asked Mrs. Shen, "But Master Shen is also going?" ”
"Where will he accompany me to see these, it's Noble. Today's events are also arranged by Noble, let's just follow, he has taken care of everything. ”
When Liao Shi heard this, he pursed his lips and smiled, "I said why I just traveled together a few days ago, and today I was invited again, and I have to play for a full day. ”
Only then did Mrs. Shen understand that her son had this idea. Although I don't think so, since Liao said so, let's give my son the reputation of being a filial son, so I just smiled and didn't talk about this topic anymore.
According to Shen Laibao's plan, he began to go to the play, then went to eat, and then went to the lake to enjoy the flowers. A singer was also arranged on the boat, and the singer's voice was graceful, and Liao was in a happy mood to hear.
Today's weather is fine, the plan is being implemented step by step, and there is not a single flaw. Everything is what Liao likes, and it's really enjoyable.
And the time gap for everything is very well arranged, and I don't feel tired or rushed. So much so that when Liao returned home at night, he was not tired at all, but felt that the fatigue of his husband's absence in charge of everything for half a month was gone, and the people in the mirror were radiant.
The servant woman smiled when she took the hairpin and dismantled the bun for her, "It seems that Madame had a lot of fun today." ”
"That's right."
"Then Young Master Noble arranged it really well, everything is what Madame likes."
"Not really." Liao Shi answered, and she was removing the earrings and slammed them, huh?
She suddenly remembered something, and almost jumped up, startling the servant woman, "What's the matter, madam?" ”
"This kid ......" Liao slumped back on the stool, already understanding that today's arrangements were all made for her, where is the accompaniment, it is clear that she is the protagonist.
Shen Laibao is going to "win" the future mother-in-law!
Liao didn't know what to feel for a while, on the one hand, he had this intention and was indeed well-intentioned, he didn't directly let the matchmaker come, and he also cared about her feelings; But on the other hand, a rich family like the Shen family has no book aroma, and always feels that it is not suitable for his daughter. It's not that she can't afford it, it's just that she thinks her daughter should marry a lover who can taste poetry books with her, instead of spending every day in the reconciliation book.
She has raised her daughter for so many years, not so that she can read the account book, but so that she can hold a book full of books for the rest of her life
Liao Shi suddenly felt a headache, and raised his hand to pinch his eyebrows.
The daughter likes Shen Laibao, and Shen Laibao likes her daughter, but this kind of relationship is too unreliable in the eyes of the well-informed Liao.
Master Shen has so many concubines, and when he asked to marry the daughter of the Ge family, wasn't it also vigorous, but what was the result? Within a few years, he took concubines one after another, and stuffed several concubines. In the past few years, it has stopped a little, but the flower wine is still drunk.
Thinking that her daughter fell in love with such a child, she was worried.
In the next few days, Shen Laibao came to invite, but Liao shirked everything. As soon as she shirked it, Shen Laibao knew that her purpose was detected by her, and even Mrs. Shen came back to her senses, it turned out that what her son liked was Hualing, and the "future mother-in-law" was Liao's!
She was immediately annoyed that she had mentioned it to Liao Shi first, maybe she knew this, so she pushed it back one after another. She thought again, why did her son fall in love with the children of the Hua family.
"Noble is going to hit a nail this time." Mrs. Shen sat on the small couch and calculated the accounts for her husband, and said, "How can a person who even refuses the son of Zhizhou and the richest man in the mansion look down on our family." ”
Master Shen, who has always been optimistic, also frowned, "Then what's the solution, Noble likes it." What is there that he doesn't work hard for? In the final analysis, as long as Master Hua agrees, it will be easy to do. ”
Mrs. Shen raised her eyebrows, "The house next door is different...... Master Hua has always listened to Mrs. Hua. ”
"Oh...... It seems to be too. Master Shen silently recited a sentence of sluggishness, and said, "If we let the matchmaker go directly, we may be rejected immediately." It's better to let Noble work his own, so that if you don't send a matchmaker, you can't refuse directly. Maybe his son's sincerity can move people, and in the end, the golden stone will be opened? ”
The husband and wife discussed it, and finally because of the particularity of the Hua family, they decided not to meddle in this matter and let their son work on his own. If he can't, he will go to the Hua family together to ask for marriage. If not, then they can't do it.
If they can marry a good girl like Hua Ling, they will also feel at ease, so although they know that the daughter of the Hua family is hard to find, they are still willing to give it a try.
To be a man, you must have a contingency mentality.
&&&&&
Shen Laibao didn't say that he couldn't make an appointment to meet Liao, even if he usually went out, he couldn't touch her, and there was no way to communicate a sentence or two. She doesn't even go out, doesn't watch plays, and avoids him.
The three children of the Hua family are not at home, and neither is the old man Hua, he is an adult man, and he does not have any name to enter the gate of the Hua family.
After five days, the door of the Hua family finally opened, and the Liao family also went out, but she came to welcome her husband and children home.
Shen Laibao went out when he heard the news, and just happened to see Hua Ling getting out of the carriage. I don't know what's wrong, but suddenly I saw that her legs were weak, and everyone was crooked, but fortunately, Mama Ge helped her quickly and didn't fall.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Liao also seemed to have discovered him, and stood on her left side after picking up his daughter and getting out of the car, blocking Shen Laibao's sight and not letting him look at it at all.
However, Hua Ling thought that someone next door might be looking, and looked there from behind her mother, and sure enough, she saw Shen Laibao. She smiled slightly, and sent him two words of code.
Liao Shi noticed it, blocked her again, tilted his head and scolded lightly, "Why do you always like to look around, go in and rest."
。 ”
"Hmm." Hua Ling took her mother's hand and went inside, wanting to look at him again, but found that her mother was very coincidental today, and finally only glanced at him and entered the gate.
Shen Laibao, who didn't take a good look at Xiaohua, returned to his courtyard, and sometimes looked at the next wall, wondering what she had just said. After thinking about it, I found that those two words were pronounced.
He immediately pursed his lips, hateful little flower, when we meet, I have to pinch her face. Just because those two words are-"Stupid." ”
I don't know if he guessed the lip language Hua Ling is also thinking, if he guesses, will he think she is hateful.
He warmly read her a little flower, but she replied to him with a stupid word.
It felt like he was going to blow up.
Thinking of his wry smile, Hua Ling couldn't help but smile.
Liao, who was combing her hair and asking her to take a bath, heard it, and always felt that her daughter's smile was very different, and she was already a little panicked in her heart, "Lingling, what are you laughing at?" ”
Hua Ling played with the hairpin in her hand, "Mother, it's nothing." ”
Liao Shi was silent for a moment, and saw that there were more than 20 pairs of hairpins lying in the box she put on the table, each of which looked very valuable, and asked, "Why do you buy so many hairpins, you should buy more beaded hairpins, hairpins are stingy." ”
"It was given by someone else."
A dark cloud swept through Liao's heart, "Who sent it?" Her face changed, "Shen Laibao? ”
Hearing the hidden displeasure in her mother's tone, Hua Ling hesitated for a moment before responding, "Since I was a child, Brother Noble has been sending me hairpins. ”
Liao Shi suddenly felt angry, "You can also accept the hairpin flowers sent by the man!" ”
Hua Ling knew that her mother was angry, and immediately said, "This is not a hairpin, just a hairpin." At that time, I was still young, and my daughter didn't understand, but she just thought it was good-looking. ”
"So you understand it now?"
"Got it." Hua Ling hung her head, "That's why I took it again." ”
Liao Shi was stunned, "Lingling, ......"
Hua Ling hugged her waist, buried her head in her arms, and said softly, "My daughter doesn't want you to be angry, but she doesn't want to hide it from you." This time I went out with my father, and I met him on the road...... Mother, you always say fate, isn't this fate? ”
"But his father is so distracted."
"Grandfather is also very attentive, but Daddy is so good to you." Hua Ling was afraid that she would be sad, but she didn't want to see her prejudiced against Shen Laibao, "Mother, you also watched Brother Noble grow up, what kind of person he is, you should know." ”
Speaking of this, Liao's heart wall was shaken.
Although I was stupid for ten years, it was not good later.
Knowledgeable and literate, no worse than the children of a scholarly family.
Her mind was confused, and she sighed heavily, "Then you promise your mother first, don't have close contact with him, and your mother will discuss with your father." ”
Seeing that her mother had finally figured it out, Hua Ling said happily, "Hmm." ”
