76 A faction of peace
Lou Shi investigated Ruan Yuan, so naturally he also checked Ruan Jing and Ruan Mo brothers by the way. The record of the two brothers www.biquge.info is clear. Ruan Xun is 23 years old this year, and she was already 14 years old when she entered Beijing. And Ruan Mo is not much different from his brother, and in the end, it was Ruan Feng who contributed money for the two brothers and donated one to study in the country.
Then it is said that the township test was also repeated failures, crying and shouting that it took several times to get a B list. And it's the brothers, both of whom are hung on B. Lou Shi looked at Ruan Feng's meaning, and he didn't care about the two brothers in the spring of tomorrow. I don't think these two brothers can pass the exam, so although the course starts every three years, I just missed it, and I don't think it's a pity.
Lou Shi thought for a while and said, "The son-in-law knows a few Confucians in Beijing, why don't the son-in-law come forward and introduce the two uncles to the door?" Although it's late now, as long as the two uncles come back and are willing to study hard, it should help, right? Besides, if you can worship under his door, your career will be smoother in the future. Not to mention anything else, the same teachers and brothers will not be bad. ”
Ruan Feng decisively refused: "Although the two of them are stupid, it is certain that they will not go well in the imperial examination." But it's also better than when I came to Beijing, at least the family has a place to live, something to eat, no need to live in a house outside the house, and I haven't had a meal after eating. What kind of test can be done, if you rely on others to rely on habits, the same porridge is drunk, and those who are helped by others are not the same as those earned by yourself, and the feeling of eating is not the same. Thank you. The two of them are young, so let's take a few exams first. If it really doesn't work, let's talk about it. ”
Lou Shi looked at Ruan Yuan a little stunned, and saw Ruan Yuan looking at him mockingly, the corners of his lips slightly hooked, as if to say: "Our family has never thought of taking advantage of your family, let's save your kindness that has nowhere to put it." ”
Ruan Feng was afraid that he had just spoken too hard, and when he saw that the stone surface of the building seemed to be scornful, he explained again: "The prince may not have heard a common saying, 'Relying on the mountains and falling down', your mother-in-law and I have also come by ourselves." Although he is not rich and expensive, every bite of food he eats is based on his own ability, and he is also hard-hearted. It's not that I want to talk to anyone. ”
Lou Shi left the back of the chair, leaned forward and explained: "The younger son-in-law didn't ask his uncle to do anything else, but he just worshiped a good master, and he knew some tricks in his studies, so he could take some shortcuts and be more convenient in the scientific examination." ”
Ruan Feng shook his head disapproving and said, "Those people who have left their names in history, which one is not how old is that he already has amazing talent?" At the age of five, he knew literature, at the age of seven, he wrote poetry, and Wang Bo made "Finger Flaws" at the age of nine. Such a person, I am afraid that I don't have to give up my face to the prince, and there are already great Confucian masters who have rushed to recognize their apprentices. At that time, I am afraid that we will still think that the great Confucianism is not a waste of fame. doesn't have that ability, only one of Wang Xizhi's seven sons has his mantle, could it be that he didn't teach the other six? No matter how hard the teacher is, can he still use his father? ”
After speaking, Ruan Feng felt that the more he explained, the more blunt what he seemed to say, and he was afraid that Lou Shi would think that he was outside, and he didn't know what to say, so he swept away at random just now, and became embarrassed, looking helpless.
When Ruan Yuan saw it, she had to speak out to relieve Ruan Feng, and looked directly at Lou Shi and said, "Don't worry about it, my parents have this temper." I'm afraid that the prince is not mentally prepared yet. ”
Lou Shi smiled and said, "Where am I so careful?" Speaking of which, there are fewer people with backbone like father-in-law and mother-in-law nowadays. It's respectable. ”
Ruan Yuan rolled her eyes at Lou Shi, and thought disapplausively: Don't talk about the previous life, not long ago, didn't you look like you were afraid that my family would rely on your family? What about when our family members are stupid and blind?
It just so happened that at the entrance of the hall, the eldest grandson happily opened the curtain and came in, but before all the people came in, the voice had already entered the hall: "The meal is ready, I will eat it in a while." Wash your hands. ”
As the eldest grandson came in with water, the green willow and green bead behind him also came in with a washbasin, and they both had a hand towel on their arms. Zheng's mother also followed, but with soap.
When Ruan Yuan saw it, she couldn't help laughing and said, "When did our family have this?" Then I thought that this must have been bought on the street by the Gangda Sun family.
Unexpectedly, the eldest grandson said: "Oh, the kid who came with the prince gave it the kid who left first and came after the carriage." I don't know what his name is. When you come in, give me a few pieces of this, saying that you have always used it in the Hou Mansion. How can we afford this at home? It smells weird, and it is used to wash your hands, but it's a pity. It's good if you don't put it in the house. ”
Glancing at Lou Shi, Ruan Yuan washed her hands and said with a smile: "If my mother likes it, I will bring a few pieces from the Hou Mansion tomorrow, it is not a good thing." There are many in the Hou Mansion. ”
After listening to Ruan Yuan's words, Da Sun also looked at Lou Shi nervously, and saw that Lou Shi did not show any unhappiness on the surface, so he relieved his heart.
Instead, the eldest grandson blamed Ruan Yuan for talking nonsense, and said: "This loser child, he has no shape when he gets married, what nonsense is he talking about every day?" Who can let you get something from the Hou Mansion to your home? The gold I gave me last time has already embarrassed me and your father. When Ming'er saves money, I will pay you back. Next time, you will talk about getting things from the house, and see that I don't beat you out? ”
Lou Shi knew about this. I'm afraid that the last time Ruan Yuan went out with a head of gold, it would be gone when she went back, and no one in the Hou Mansion didn't know that Ruan Yuan gave it to the Ruan family. Therefore, it is not to blame Lou Shixian for always thinking that the Ruan family is bent on taking advantage of the Hou of Zhenbei.
Ruan Yuan hugged Da Sun and smiled. Zheng's mother took the basin in her hand and went out to splash water. Ruan Yuan grimaced at Zheng's mother. Zheng's mother also had no choice but to take Ruan Yuan, so she secretly glared at Ruan Yuan.
Wait for the green willow and the green bead to also carry the basin out, and after a while, they will come in again and bring out the vegetables that Lou Shi brought when he came. The eldest grandson and Zheng's mother led Ruan Yuan into the western room.
Before Lou Shi could understand what was going on, he saw a woman lead in three male guests who were a little older. Ruan Feng hurriedly greeted him at the door of the hall. The three men smiled and said yes. Lou Shi also followed behind Ruan Feng.
Ruan Feng stepped forward and said, "Joy and joy." Then he introduced to Lou Shi: "These three are all neighbors, your Uncle Wu, Third Uncle Zhang, and Fourth Uncle Zhang." ”
Lou Shi hurriedly performed the junior salute and shouted one by one: "Uncle Wu is good, Uncle Zhang is good, and Uncle Zhang is good." ”
The three of them smiled and said: "We don't care if you are the prince of Zhenbei Hou Mansion or not, here, we only recognize you as the son-in-law of the Ruan family." ”
Lou Shi smiled: "That's natural, the three uncles sit." As he spoke, he picked up the teapot and poured cups of tea one by one.
The three of them sat down in turn, looked at Lou Shi and nodded secretly, smiling from ear to ear. Holding the tea poured by Hou Shizi in Zhenbei, it seems to be better than usual.
It turned out that these people were specially invited by Ruan Feng to accompany Lou Shi to eat and drink. That's why the Dasun clan will pull Ruan Yuan to the west. The outside room is reserved for the men to eat, and not for the women. The last time I ate at the same table, it was because there were no outsiders at the table. The son-in-law came to the door for the first time, and this should be a formality, and he always had to go.
First, the woman who came to help set the table. On the large round table in the living room, the floor stone table is the main table. Da Sun and Ruan Yuan, Zheng Ma, Lu Zhu, and Lu Liu are at the second table. Then the people brought by Lou Shi outside were also invited to the main hall of the Wu family and set up a big table.
Then there was the helper, who set up a table in the kitchen of the Ruan family and ate casually.
Since the living room and Ruan Yuan's room are only separated by a door, it is very real to speak in the indoor listening hall. Although Ruan Feng was used to being restrained, the three men invited were bold. I thought to myself, since the Ruan family invited them to accompany their son-in-law, they naturally had to accompany them.
So as soon as the table opened, he began to push the cup and pour wine into Lou Shi. The opening is: "You are now the son-in-law of the Ruan family, and the son-in-law has entered the door for the first time, and this wine is going to be accompanied." We are elders, pour it for you, and you have to drink. Come on, come on, do it. ”
Lou Shi didn't shirk either, and said continuously: "This is natural, the son-in-law must be casual today." ”
However, Ruan Feng was helping to stop him on the side, afraid that Lou Shi would not be able to go home if he drank too much. I was afraid that after going back, Zhenbeihou and Mrs. Jian would be disgusted. For a while, Ruan Feng's low blocking voice in the hall, the loud shouting of the three people, and Lou Shi's soft voice were mixed together, and they were harmonious.
The eldest grandson listened to it and smiled with satisfaction. I am also happy for Ruan Yuan in my heart. It's okay for them to suffer some grievances, and they won't compete with the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, as long as their daughter is good in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, it is better than treating the two elders on the surface, but behind the scenes, Ruan Yuan is much more angry.
A woman came in to deliver food, and the eldest grandson hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law of the Wu family, I'm tired of you today, help me more." I'm lazy here for a while, and I'll be with Chan Niang. ”
The woman laughed and said, "What else do you need to say? What is not tired, you stay with your daughter. Ouch, look at the life of your second elder, it's so good, this new aunt's status is not at all, but it's a blessing from cultivation. ”
Da Sun smiled and said politely: "Where is it as good as you say." "But the heart is already happy. The smile on the lips at the corners of his mouth has long been unable to hold it back.
Ruan Yuan shouted in a regular manner: "Aunt Cheng is good, looking at her body and bones, she is still good." ”
The woman's eyes were about to narrow into a line when she saw Ruan Yuan, and there were folds piled up on the corners of her eyes and lips: "Okay." I used to see that Chan Niang was different from the little girls in other people's families, and look, it was really different. Such a blessing is something we can't even imagine. The prince is still so kind. Stay with your mother, I'm out. ”
When Aunt Cheng went out, Ruan Yuan sat down beside the eldest grandson, picked up the dishes, and said sweetly to Zheng's mother: "Zheng's mother loves to eat this, eat more." ”
Zheng Ma sat under Ruan Yuan's hand, and the eldest grandson just sandwiched Ruan Yuan in the middle. glared at Ruan Yuan, wanted to scold her, and thought that it would be difficult to meet, so he was reluctant, so he had to sandwich a piece of meat for Ruan Yuan and said, "You can eat it too, as if you were hungry for something when you were in the Hou Mansion." ”
Ruan Yuan took a bite and said with a smile: "It still tastes good to be made by Mama Zheng." ”
Zheng Ma and Da Sun Tongming gave Ruan Yuan bones and meat. Da Sun said: "I like to eat more." Next time you come to the house, Mama Zheng will make it for you. I'm afraid that after a long time in the Hou Mansion, you won't like to eat at home. ”
At the end of the meal, Ruan Yuan was full as if the food was all under her neck.
The things on the table were withdrawn with their own help, and Zheng Ma pulled Lu Zhu and Lu Liu out, she must have inquired about Ruan Yuan's situation in the Hou Mansion these days. There are two people indoors, Ruan Yuan and Da Sun's mother. Seeing that the time was about the same, the banquet was dispersed, and Ruan Yuan was about to leave with Lou Shi.
Tears began to well-up in the eyes of the eldest grandson. A little bit of advice Ruan Yuan to be filial and obedient in the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei. and praised Lou Shi with a mouthful of praise. In short, today, the eldest grandson is the mother-in-law who looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at it, the more she likes it.
Ruan Yuan was afraid that the eldest grandson would have any hope for Lou Shi from today. The high-ranking person turned his face ruthlessly, Ruan Yuan was worried that her parents would suffer, and she was angry in Loushi, so she didn't tell her again. So he persuaded: "Mother, don't hope too much for him, people like them, who knows what to think?" Isn't there a saying, how can you say it? Some people smile at you and trap you. ”
The eldest grandson was afraid that his daughter and son-in-law would be estranged, so he persuaded: "Look at you child, how can you speak?" What do you call people like that? You're already husband and wife, so you need to have one heart. What do we do if the prince doesn't have to pit our family? We are not good, and it is not good for the son. Besides, it's easy to get along with now. ”
Ruan Yuan pouted and said, "Mother doesn't want to think about it?" He didn't come to our house when he came back. Why did you come to the door again for no reason? In the past, I was afraid that I would meet my father on the road, but I didn't see it. Mother doesn't believe it, everyone is gone after a while, just ask my father. ”
When Da Sun heard this, he deeply felt that Ruan Yuan was right. And he remembered again about the box of silver. "By the way, you didn't listen to what the prince said to us in the house before. Do you know why he gave our family silver? ”
Ruan Yuan thought about it and couldn't help but smile happily. Said: "I think about it, my father's official position is not high, Dali Temple is mainly responsible for the trial of cases, although the official is not big, but the important thing is to be in charge." Do you want to ask my dad to do something? ”
Da Sun said: "Not really. Didn't the prince tell you when he came? ”
Ruan Yuan said: "No, how can someone like him tell me?" On my way back from the Princess's Mansion, I was forcibly dragged to my house. I wondered why he suddenly wanted to come to the house. I thought it was because I made Hou Ye's illness better, and I was grateful to me. It turns out that it was because of this. ”
When the eldest grandson heard this, he exclaimed: "You child, what did I tell you when I got married?" Let you be honest and filial, don't come out in everything, did you treat the Hou Ye? So many doctors can't see it well, you kid, what if you don't see it well? The medicine is also prescribed casually? ”
Ruan Yuan comforted the eldest grandson and said, "Mother, is her daughter such a stupid person? I just recommended a doctor, and the doctor gave me a look, and now it's all right. Mother now knows what kind of sex people like them have, right? Dad agreed? (To be continued.) )
