Chapter 195: A Lively Day
Zhang Yang heard about the Cao family's marriage from his master this morning, and naturally learned that his mother had made a great contribution to him, so he didn't know how to thank him. At this time, seeing Master Dong going out, he hurriedly led the old man down the mountain in person, drove him back to Huaishu Village, and by the way, he turned around and went to Cao's house to have a look when he came back, and maybe he could see the second sister.
It's a pity that Mrs. Cao took her daughter home from the orchard and took care of her very strictly, and she was not allowed to come out and walk around when she was idle, and her flamboyant little abacus naturally failed.
However, fortunately, the most famous Liu blind man in the city calculated the auspicious day of the proposal, and he barely suppressed his longing.
Finally, when the auspicious day came, the old shopkeeper of the cloth village in the city went to the Cao family to ask for relatives with flamboyant and rich gifts as elders, and the Cao family naturally agreed. Mrs. Cao specially asked people to go up the mountain and call Zizhu to come to the house to help, and set up a table of wine and food. She was still a little distressed about eating, but when the guests went out and looked at the souvenirs sent by her future son-in-law, she immediately smiled happily and said straightly, "Earned, really earned!" ”
Zizhu naturally had to secretly learn from his wife when he went back, so happy that Dong Rong almost sprayed the tea in her mouth.
Within a few days, the old shopkeeper went to Cao's house to give a dowry, Zhang Yang naturally put down enough money this time, not to mention all kinds of dry goods and sundries, only gold and silver jewelry has six sets, and the best materials are filled with two large boxes, which provokes the villagers who come to see the excitement are envious and their eyes are red.
Mrs. Cao was so happy that she almost lifted her chin to the sky, and a large plate of peanuts, melon seeds and snacks were brought out to entertain the guests.
Second Sister Cao hid in her house and refused to come out, but she knew each other so well that a few little girls were willing to let her go, so they went into the house together, chattering non-stop, and the second sister Cao was so ashamed that she wanted to run to the orchard to hide in the quiet.
It's a pity that even if she grows wings and flies to the sky, she always has to come back to get married.
On this day, the spring flowers bloomed, the courtyard of the Cao family was opened, the lintel was hung with a flower ball made of bright red silk, and there were more than a dozen first-class seats in the courtyard, and dozens of little daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law shuttled back and forth, helping to buy wine and food.
Mrs. Cao and Old Man Cao wore brand new clothes, one wore a gold head and the other held a jade cigarette pouch pole, and sat in the lobby together, waiting for their son-in-law to come to pick up their daughter.
In order to get married, Zhang Yang deliberately bought a small courtyard in the city, and drove sixteen first-class carriages to pick up his relatives early in the morning. After waiting for the dowry boxes that had been piled up in half of the yard to be loaded into the carriage, Zhang Yang kowtowed to the two elders of the Cao family again, and the second sister Cao was helped out of the boudoir by Zizhu and Yiba.
Mrs. Cao and Old Man Cao remembered that their daughter had been sick in bed since she was a child, and they had to worry about it every day, for fear that she might be taken away by the king of Hades one day. The two old men had mixed feelings for a while, and they couldn't help but cry. Mrs. Cao even pulled her daughter's hand and cried so much that she was choked.
Dong Rong hurriedly stepped forward to help persuade her, but Mrs. Cao reluctantly collected her tears and warned her daughter, "Second sister, if you marry today, you will be a member of the Zhang family in the future." Mother does not ask you to be rich and rich, but only to ask you to be harmonious with your husband and wife, and take care of your body. ”
Old man Cao also opened his mouth and said, "My son must respect his husband and abide by women's morals." ”
"Yes, Daddy, my daughter is gone." The second sister Cao hid under the embroidered hijab and cried like a tearful person, Dong Rong stepped forward to give her a handkerchief and signaled her husband to hurry up and carry her sister out.
Murong Huaide grew up in the Cao family since he was a child, and got along very well with the innocent and kind little sister of Second Sister Cao, and he also felt something when he saw her get married today, and glared at Zhang Yang, who was so smiling that his face almost bloomed, and then he stepped forward and bent down to carry his sister and sent him to the carriage.
The old rule passed down since ancient times is that if the daughter's feet leave the threshold of her mother's house, the mother's family will not allow her to shed tears anymore, otherwise the daughter will spend the rest of her life in tears. Therefore, even if Mrs. Cao was reluctant to give up her daughter, she wiped her tears at this time, and got up to greet many villagers to come to the table to drink.
Dong Rong is already generous, and today is to marry her favorite little sister, so naturally she will not be stingy. There are large pieces of meat, whole chicken, whole fish, and all the villagers nod and praise them non-stop.
Second Sister Cao and Zhang Yang lived in a small courtyard in the city for two days, and when they returned to the door on the third day, they moved directly to the compound on the top of the mountain. The little couple with a hippie smile occupied the left wing of the courtyard of Sanjin, and Zhang Yang said that he was waiting for the prince to send nearby, and the second sister Cao shouted to help her sister-in-law take care of the three little nephews and nieces.
Dong Rong looked at Second Sister Cao, who was sitting on the soft couch in front of the window, happily eating snacks, and was extremely sure that she would have to take care of one more "big child" in the future.
Mrs. Cao had brewed some feelings for her daughter in the past few days, and when she saw this, she was immediately overjoyed and said yes, and when she went to the mountain in the future, she could not only hug her eldest grandson, but also see her little daughter, which was extremely convenient.
Only Murong Huaide is very disliked, the sister-in-law likes to stick to her daughter-in-law the most, and now that she has moved in, plus three growing children, where does the daughter-in-law have time to gossip and walk with him.
Thinking like this, he turned his head to Old Man Cao, hoping that his father would open his mouth to stop him. It's a pity that the old man suddenly became interested in the jade cigarette stick today, and lowered his head to study for half an hour, but he refused to look up to receive his son's distress signal.
In this way, Zhang Yang and Second Sister Cao lived in the compound on the top of the mountain, and the whole family lived a lively life. In the orchard, the peach blossoms bloom and then fall, and gradually there are nails-sized peaches hanging on the branches.
Yamashita Restaurant has begun to restrict diners from coming and going these days, and only receives seven or eight tables a day, although everyone receives a lot less rewards, but the work is much easier, and occasionally they can sit under the fruit trees and rest for a while.
Dong Rong has been a little busy these days, and even handed over her daughter to the nurse to take care of. For no other reason, she had to dress up as a man every day, and took Boss A and Yun Rui to the north gate of Qingxian County, where there was the glazed kiln she had just taken over.
The boss of the glazed kiln was still worried about the glazed objects that could not be sold, and suddenly heard that someone wanted to sell the kiln, almost half sold and half sent, and sold the kiln at a very low price.
Dong Rong directly took out fifty taels of silver, and offered a heavy reward, whether it was the master or the handyman in the kiln, whoever could make a glass bottle with a spiral on the mouth of the bottle would be rewarded to whomever the silver would be rewarded.
The potters were all destitute people, and the meager wages they earned on weekdays were only enough to support their families.
On this day, a young student in his twenties ran out of the kiln with his hair burned by the fire like a dog, screaming excitedly while holding a round glass bottle and shaking it non-stop.
Boss A didn't ask him anything, and directly sent the bottle into the house where the housemother was resting. Dong Rong was checking the account books, thinking about thinking of some fresh ideas for Liuli to turn losses into profits, and when she saw the bottle sent by Boss A, she carefully inspected it and said, "This bottle is doing well, wait until I go back tonight and let Yu Guisheng make a lid to try, if it is tightly fitted and does not leak, I will send the reward silver down." ”
Boss A spread the word, and the afterlife was so happy that he almost went crazy. Although the master did not say it explicitly, it was obvious that he had already affirmed his achievements, even if it was not tightly fitting the lid, he only needed to adjust the thread again. Therefore, the reward is almost ironclad in his hands.
Although the rest of the masters have some pity in their hearts, they are together to ask for life on weekdays, and the affection is still very deep.
Dong Rong ignored the potters and took the car back to the orchard early. Yu Guisheng talked about carpentry skills, but he refused to let people at all, and the saws and planers in his hands were rotated, but in a few moments, he made a round lid, and when the threads were carved on the inside, he screwed directly onto the glass bottle.
The transparent round bottle with a yellowish wooden lid looks beautiful, but unfortunately it leaks a little when it falls on its side. Dong Rong frowned, she originally remembered that the fruit could not be sold last year, so she came up with the idea of making canned fruits, so that the orchard would not worry about the whereabouts of the fruits, and it would be a big entry to save it in winter, and the villagers in the village could also work in the workshop to earn some household money, which was really a good deal with one stone.
But if you can't solve the big problem of bottle leakage, how can you talk about transportation and preservation?
After all, Yu Guisheng has been dealing with wood for more than ten years, and he is very familiar with the characteristics of various woods. Seeing this, he picked and chose in the wooden pile in the yard for a long time, and then took out a piece of wood with a somewhat dark color, made the lid and soaked it in the water for two quarters of an hour, and waited until it was covered again in the glass bottle, which was still a little bigger, but after it was dried by the stove, the wooden lid was tightly fastened on the bottle, and not a drop of water leaked.
Everyone applauded happily, but Dong Rong frowned and asked, "Since this wood rises when it encounters water, then if the bottle is filled with sugar and fruit in the future, the lid will inevitably touch the water, won't it fall off at any time?" ”
Yu Guisheng smiled innocently and responded, "Don't worry, just stick a cork chip into the lid." ”
Dong Rong was relieved and praised, "This time I will make a great contribution to you, and in the future, the workshop at home will be opened, and all the wooden covers will be handed over to you to take someone to make, two pennies a piece." How is it? ”
Since Yu Guisheng knew that his daughter-in-law was pregnant with a child, he couldn't wait to earn back a mountain of gold all of a sudden, and he tried his best to give his wife and children the best life. Hearing this, he was so happy that he thanked again and again, he could make a hundred and ten such small objects a day, which was as easy as picking up money.
On the second day, the bounty at the mouth of the glazed kiln was also sent, and Dong Rong was even more generous to take out another ten taels of silver. The potters were almost crazy with joy, and they made up their minds to do a good job in the future, and definitely live up to the favor of the new owner.
Zhang Yang invited more than a dozen masters from the city, and led a group of handymen in the orchard to build two rows of houses in a quiet clearing at the foot of the mountain behind the orchard. R638
