Chapter 82: Cool and thin
At this time, an old woman in the courtyard came over with a bowl of porridge and approached Ruan Dahu, "Big brother, if you want to sell these things, why don't I introduce them to you." ”
Aunt Xu suddenly lowered her face, "Old Zhou's family, what do you mean?" People are obviously looking for me, who made you talk too much? ”
Mrs. Zhou stretched her lower lips unhappily, "Didn't you just say that there was no way?" I help people introduce, what's wrong? Hmph, I don't know who Lu Dao always says that he is an old lady of the official family all day long, why don't you go to live at your official son's house, but grab business with us poor old women, and draw like a monkey's ass, and I am not ashamed! ”
Aunt Xu was so angry that she almost fell upside down, and when the old lady finished crackling this week, she suddenly crossed her hands and fought back with full firepower, "Hey, the old lady already has an official son, what, are you jealous?" If you have the ability, you can also pull one. Besides, what's wrong with me living here and stealing business from you? You can't snatch it. It's useless to say these strange things! If you don't think I'm ashamed to draw a monkey's ass, then you can draw it too! At least the old lady painted, there are still men on the street who want to see it, you have to paint it as a monkey butt, and see if there is a male monkey willing to take care of it when you walk into the deep mountains and old forests! ”
Hey! Ruan Dahu couldn't help laughing, "You woman, it's really interesting, I'll do this deal with you." ”
Aunt Xu suddenly looked like a victorious peacock, and raised her chin provocatively at Mrs. Zhou. That week, the old lady wanted to scold but was afraid of Ruan Dahu, who was tall and tall, muttered something that no one could hear, and left with the bowl.
But turning her face, Aunt Xu said the truth to Ruan Dahu, who supported her, "Since you are so appreciative of your face, big brother." I can't say anything if I don't help. So be it, go back and pack your prey. Come with me to the night market. While it's time to eat at the restaurant, I'll take you to the big restaurant in the city to try your luck. If it sells well. Big brother, you just watch and reward me a few, if you can't sell it, then you have to think of something else. ”
There is a good reason for that. Nian Fu immediately took Ruan Dahu back, still using the car towed by the little white dragon, unloaded the luggage, loaded the prey, and set off again.
Lan Gu was afraid of Ruan Dahu, and she didn't dare to go out with them. But Ouyang Kang is not at ease, so he must go with him.
Think about it. called Zheng San too, and told people very politely, "It's not that I don't keep you, it's just that you have also seen this family, the house is really narrow, and I am afraid that I will wronged you if I live." Why don't you just invite the two of you to go to the inn at night to rest for a few days, and all the room money and meal money will be paid by my eldest young master, okay? ”
Ruan Dahu is a simple man. can only understand Aunt Xu's words without turning around, and after going around in circles in Nianfu's words, he doesn't understand, and he says straightforwardly. "What's that? We rough people can sleep on the floor casually, so why bother to break the bank? ”
Third Brother Zheng understands more about the world than him, and is busy. "It's a rule in the city, don't make it difficult for people. Just listen to them. ”
Ruan Dahu was still puzzled, but Ouyang Kang was very uncomfortable when he heard it.
It stands to reason. If you have friends from afar, no matter what it is, it is the least polite to take them in for one night and invite them to dinner. Especially how Zheng Sange and the Ruan family said that they also saved their benefactors, but now because they are not favored at home, they have to send their benefactors to the guest house, what does this make people say?
But if you keep them, I am afraid that I will not only offend people, but also be even more embarrassed. Therefore, Ouyang Kang could only follow Nianfu's words, repeatedly compensated them, and thanked Nianfu in private.
Nianfu didn't say anything in understanding, just laughed, "Let's help Brother Ruan marry his daughter-in-law, we will repay his great kindness." By the way, Third Brother Zheng, do you want to ask for a wife? ”
"Forget it, you can spare me." It's hard to believe that Zheng Sange is such an old age, but his face is red, and he is a little indistinguishable, "We people in the mountains are real, and we don't tell lies." I'm not afraid to tell you that I used to beg for a wife. But the woman was so annoying, every day I washed my face or not, I had to care if I changed my clothes, and then I really couldn't get by, so I had to say goodbye and let her take her daughter away, alas, it has been more than ten years in a flash, and I don't know where their mother and daughter are now, how they are doing. ”
It's obviously a sad story, why does Nianfu want to laugh so much? She was not the only one, even Ouyang Dashao's face was a little uncomfortable. Ahem, just because I don't want to wash my face and don't want to change my clothes, I broke up, this brother is also a strange flower.
Noisy out of the door, and Aunt Xu, she had already packed up, carrying a large basket of food made by herself, followed by an eight or nine-year-old boy, with a yellow face and thin muscles, and was also afraid of life, hiding behind her, not daring to say anything at all.
Ruan Dahu was the most straightforward, and said directly, "Who is this, it won't be your species, right?" "It's completely out of tune with the spicy Aunt Xu!
"Less Hu Dip!" Although Aunt Xu wants to do his business, there is also the instinct of any mother to maintain her child, "Of course, I was born with a tethered child, but he was born without catching up with a good old age and not raising him well." After a few years, I saved up money, ate well, and let him be a young master with a service in the future. ”
Ideal mothers are great mothers. Nianfu smiled and wanted to touch the child's head, but the child timidly avoided it.
Ouyang Dashao leaned in and whispered, "Don't you think she looks a little like your mother?" ”
I already thought that Nian Fu could take Ruan Dahu to major restaurants to sell by himself, so why do I have to ask her for help? It's just that I think Aunt Xu and Hui Niang are both the kind of spicy and positive mothers who are especially protective of their children, and it's not easy, so I want to help her.
Aunt Xu told her son a few words to take good care of the house, and then went out with them. Because there were too many prey piled up in the car, except for Ruan Dahu, who was driving, only two ladies could hitchhike on the wheel, and Ouyang Dashao had to follow Zheng San on foot. However, as the twilight grew, there were not only many pedestrians on the streets, but more and more, and it was difficult for the carriage to walk, so it was not too much to follow.
And although Zheng Sange is strange in some aspects, he still understands the world, Ouyang Dashao put down the shelf and chatted with him about life in the mountains, customs and customs, but he was not bored.
Hearing that Ouyang Kang and they were gone, Mrs. Tan breathed a sigh of relief.
Turning his head, he couldn't help but complain to Ouyang Jin, "Look at your good son, who do you bring to your home all day?" Any dead chicken or duck dares to drag it in, and the stinky one is not too dirty. Let the neighbors on the left and right look at it, what does it look like? ”
"Alright." Ouyang Jin interrupted her unhappily, "Isn't this already taking people away?" Long-winded! By the way, I asked you to invite that little chrysanthemum, did you invite it? Today, Lord Lu is talking again, and I'm almost annoyed. ”
It's okay not to mention this, but as soon as I mentioned this, Tan had something to say again, "Please!" But they said they wouldn't come. What's the use of having money? People are red corners in the capital, and there are more people invited, and people also have to pick their family backgrounds. Our family background is already low, and if we come to something out of tune, it will be even more disdainful. ”
Ouyang Jin didn't want that eldest son to have never seen outsiders at all, how could people look down on him? But because of Tan's words, he was quite embarrassed when he remembered his birth in the countryside, and he only felt that as soon as the country son appeared, he lowered the level that he had finally climbed high, but it was not easy to say it clearly, so he only talked about Xiao Juxian, "How popular he is, but a play, what?" Our officials still don't want him? You add a little more money and let people go! ”
Tan sneered, "You said it lightly, but where did the money come from?" The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, followed by the New Year, and there are places everywhere that cost money, and you still want me to give some decent gifts to others. But now that there is another eldest young master in the family, everything needs to be the best for food, clothing and housing, where does this money come from? ”
Ouyang Jin said unhappily, "But how much can you spend with a pair of chopsticks?" ”
Tan raised his eyebrows, "Even if these don't cost much, but seeing that this eldest young master is not very young, he is about to say goodbye, if he gets married in the capital, how can he be enough without three or five thousand taels of silver?" I don't know what our old lady thinks, but I sent someone here at this time. Master, you know better than me how much money you have in a year, even if you have a family grange, how much can you have in a year? Don't give a penny, where can we go to add such a big provenance? But everyone is so old, and they have found the capital again, or they will take out the money to do things for him, and people will blame my stepmother for being vicious. Besides, with him, how can the next few say kiss? So I advise the master, let's save some in the future. I'd rather swallow this breath and make amends to Lord Lu, rather than slap my swollen face and become fat. ”
Seeing that Ouyang Jin's face was getting darker and darker, she was afraid that it would not be enough, "Oh, by the way, the emperor will soon come back from Xishan." When there is a banquet and dinner for the Mid-Autumn Festival, the master also takes the eldest young master of our family out to socialize, he is so old, it's not good to hide it all the time, right? ”
Now that it is brought out, what should I say in those years ago? Ouyang Jin was silent for a while, and only said for a while, "Mother is still here, and it is really not decent for us to have no children and grandchildren to serve in front of us." I am an official, and it is difficult to achieve both loyalty and filial piety. He was raised by his grandmother since he was a child, and he missed this election, so it is better to wait a few days and ask him to go back, and save his mother from worrying. ”
The Tan family finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the eldest young master was completely out of play.
But Ouyang Jin suddenly said again, "Since you can't invite Xiao Juxian, it's not good to drag it like this, you go to the account and get two hundred taels of silver, and I'll invite Master Lu to sit outside at night." ”
The little bit of pride that Tan had just now was gone. Two hundred taels of silver, where are you going to sit, do you still need to ask?
Forget it, it's still worth it to get rid of that wild seed in the countryside. Otherwise, when there is that person, his son will always stand in front of him. As long as he is gone, his son is still the real young master of the Ouyang family in the capital.
But thinking about it, I feel that Ouyang Jin is really cold. My mother and son treat each other like this, can I still be reliable? It's better to have a good future for your son, and then choose a virtuous and well-behaved daughter-in-law, so that she can live according to her son and daughter-in-law in the future.
