Chapter 110: The Wang Family
After Pei Minzhong left, Xuanhui felt that the inn was full of people and had a lot of eyes, so he decided to rent a house to live in. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoSo, they asked the shopkeeper to ask.
Knowing that they don't rent long-term contracts, Xiao Er said: "People who rent houses outside are seeking stability and long-term stability, and short-term rentals are mixed with fish and dragons coming and going, and it is easy to have problems." However, there seem to be a few vacant rooms in my neighborhood, Li Datou's house, and his wife also said that she wanted to rent them out. I'll help you inquire and talk back again. ”
Jingyun took out a few big coins from his purse and handed them to Xiao Er: "I'm tired of the little brother." ”
The little two saw that there was a reward and ran faster. In the afternoon of the same day, he took Xuanhui and others to Li Datou's house to see the house.
This Li Datou's family seems to have some money in his ancestors, and a three-entry mansion is quiet in the middle of the noise. There are some flowers and plants dotted around the yard, which is very clean and tidy. It's just that the furnishings at home are very crude, most of them are cheap goods bought for hundreds of dollars on the street, and the patterns on the tea bowls are crooked.
Li Datou was not at home, his wife Qin Erniang took Xuanhui and others to look around, and then entered the West Wing to be rented out.
There are three rooms in the west wing, one in the middle can be used as a banquet room, and the north and south two rooms can be used as a study and bedroom. On the left hand side of the door is the main house where Qin Erniang and his wife live.
Jingyun disliked that Qin Erniang's family did not have a separate courtyard to rent, and felt that Xuanhui had to live in the same courtyard with ordinary people like Li Datou, which was really aggrieved. But Xuanhui felt that Qin Erniang was warm and hearty, and she had lived in Wuchang Mansion for generations, so she was just able to inquire about Wang Jintang's family, so she nodded and rented it.
That night, Qin Erniang set up a table of simple home-cooked dishes, which could be regarded as a celebration of Xuanhui and others moving in. Xuanhui said with a smile: "Erniang's kindness is our heart, but it's getting late, I'm afraid that Brother Li will come back and see you and our brothers eating at a table, and we will inevitably be heartfelt." ”
Qin Erniang glanced at Xuan Hui with a smile and said, "Master Xuan, don't blame me for not having eyes, Hengzhi is in my own house, and no outsiders will listen to it." All four of you are women, aren't you? ”
Xuanhui and the others looked at each other, not knowing how to answer. Jingyun smiled: "Erniang said that it was funny, how many of our brothers ......"
Qin Erniang said with a smile: "If you want to say that you are brothers, you can only blame you for not being able to act." The four of you, whose faces are whiter than the other, and all of you speak softly, where do you look like men? Besides, at the very least, you should wear a deep coat with a higher collar to cover your neck, so that people can't see that you don't have a throat bone! ”
Xuanhui raised his hand and touched his neck, smiling embarrassedly.
Qin Erniang said again: "If you want to talk about your appearance, it is reasonable to say that you are a man." Isn't General Wang of our Huguang Division also a woman? However, Wang Sen will walk on the road, but no one thinks he is a woman. The majesty of the general, every gesture is hung with a picture! ”
Hearing Qin Erniang mention Wang Yu, Xuanhui's heart moved, and he asked, "Hearing you say that, I remembered it." Yesterday we met a person in a street teahouse, and it was like the Wang Counselor you mentioned. Wouldn't all his brothers and sisters look like this? That's really a family like a painting. ”
Qin Erniang sandwiched a piece of fish for Xuanhui, urging her to taste it quickly, and then smiled: "You can be regarded as asking someone!" When I was a child, my father and mother died, and I sold myself to the Wang family as a maid, and a few years ago my brother grew up and saved some money to redeem me. ”
Xuanhui was happy in his heart, this house was rented right. Cai Wei hurriedly refilled Qin Erniang's tea, and said with a smile: "Then tell me quickly, how many brothers does his family have?" How many sisters? But it's all so good-looking? ”
Qin Erniang took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "You girl, shouldn't you have taken a fancy to him?" He used to have an elder brother, who was older than him, and followed Lord Wang to fight those religious believers, and died in Jingzhou. At that time, I was still young, and I didn't know what his brother looked like. ”
"Now the king has only one son, born to the former lady. I heard that Mrs. Xian was stimulated because her eldest son died on the battlefield, so she went there within a few years. Later, Lord Wang remarried a lady, who is now Mrs. Liu. She, she is not as lucky as the first lady, and she has been tossing and begging God to worship Buddha and seeking medical advice over the years, but she still only got two daughters. Now that Lord Wang is old, I'm afraid that my son has no hope. ”
Jingyun said with a smile: "Erniang's words sound, how can it seem like she can't give birth to a son, are you very happy?" ”
Qin Erniang clapped her hands and smiled: "This eldest sister has good ears, she is obedient and listens, and she guesses so thoroughly." She looked outside, and then smiled again: "The big family has been on an errand for a long time, and I am always afraid that someone will listen to the root of the wall, but I don't forget that it is in our own home." ”
"Mrs. Liu, speaking of which, she was born in the Hedong clan, and her family is high. But her eyes were very small, and she was bent on asking Lord Wang to leave the future of the family business to her son. When she got married, General Wang was still young, and it was estimated that she had suffered a lot under her hands. Now Mrs. Liu sees that she has no hope of giving birth to a son, and wants to ease up with Wang Shenjiang, but she has done too many sins before, and Wang Shenjiang has always been lukewarm to her, it is just face-saving. ”
Jingyun nodded and said, "This is really ...... God retribution. A hundred years later, Lord Wang, this inner house is all in the hands of the general's wife, and Mrs. Liu, the old lady, is not very happy. ”
Qin Erniang sandwiched chopsticks and eggplant for Jingyun, and said with a smile: "You are really a transparent person!" Try this eggplant, I made my own sauce, it's not unpalatable! Then he continued: "Otherwise, Mrs. Liu is most worried about two marriages now. One is from General Wang, and the other is from the eldest lady of the Wang family. ”
Xuanhui's heart sank, and he finally got to the point. She smiled: "This is strange, when I saw General Wang that day, I thought that he should be twenty years old, he didn't get married, didn't he get married?" ”
Qin Erniang said: "General Wang is twenty-five this year!" I suffered a loss from my appearance and looked small. This man still looks old and looks steady. ”
"Twenty-five? It's really, I can't see it at all! Cai Wei smiled.
"He used to have a family affair, and he was the daughter of the king's old friend. Who knew that this girl was not blessed, and the date of marriage was set, but she died of a sudden illness. General Wang is a heavy affection, and he has not said kiss for a year. Later, Mrs. Liu told her cousin and niece about her mother's family, and General Wang pushed back. Mrs. Liu felt that she had lost face, so she left it alone, and in addition, Lord Wang and General Wang were busy, so it dragged on until now. ”
Xuanhui suppressed her anxious emotions and asked with a smile: "What did you say about the marriage of the eldest lady of the Wang family?" (To be continued.) )
