Chapter 84

Whoever will fight with Jiang Wanbai jokes that Jiang Wanbai must win

They are like this, Jiang Wanbai feels a little boring, she is actually not as big as Tian Yinfeng, can you not treat them so differently.

Without further ado, she threw the dice in her hand into the bowl with a crisp sound. The dice dipped around a few times, and then stopped, four, four, three, eleven o'clock, not too big, not too small.

"It's your turn." Jiang Wanbai handed the dice to Tian Laoer, Tian Laoer smiled, and threw the dice into the bowl very casually, two, three, four, nine o'clock, not as big as Jiang Wanbai.

Next is Wang, Wang is a little nervous, put the dice into the palm of his hand, put his hands together, look at the bright moon in the sky and start praying, as for what to pray, you don't have to think about it, you know, you must want a child.

What does dice have to do with children? This is probably a custom here.

On the evening of the Mid-Autumn Festival, after each family has a reunion dinner, a piece of moon cake will be served, which is cut into three pieces, the first piece is half the size of the whole moon cake, the second piece is the largest half of the remaining half of the moon cake, and the third piece is the smallest piece, only one-sixth of the whole moon cake.

These three moon cakes of different sizes are the prizes for tonight's champion, Bangyan, and Tanhua, and the way to decide who is the champion is to roll the dice, and whoever throws the largest number of points will win.

This is actually a way to pray for blessings, it is said that this moon cake represents good fortune, whoever becomes the champion and takes the largest piece of moon cake, he will have good luck this year, and the wish made to heaven will also come true.

That means, just like making dumplings during the New Year, putting a steel hammer in the dumplings, whoever eats this steel hammer will have good luck, which is a saying that pleases the head.

Jiang Wanbai doesn't really believe in this kind of thing, but it's still quite interesting for everyone to have fun together, but it's the Wang family, who wants to worship the Bodhisattva twice when she is fine, now, of course, she is more pious and cautious, holding the three dices, her face is about to sweat.

Everyone knew what was going on in Wang's mind, so no one urged her, and they all waited quietly.

Wang closed her eyes and prayed for a long time, then she felt almost the same, and with a ruthless heart, she threw the dice into the bowl, but she didn't know if she was too nervous, or what was going on, two of the dice fell into the bowl and crackled, and the other fell to the ground and rolled under the table.

At this moment, everyone was stunned, how to calculate this situation, it seems that no one has said it before.

Wang's eyes immediately turned red. In a blink of an eye, she had been taking medicine for almost a month, but her stomach did not move at all, and now, she prayed to God to have a child as soon as possible, but as a result, this kind of thing happened, and it was obvious that God did not want to fulfill her at all.

Thinking of this, if it weren't for the Mid-Autumn Festival and everyone was there, she would have wanted to go back to the house and cry for a while.

"Second sister-in-law, this time doesn't count, you come again." Zhang's couldn't see others being uncomfortable the most, and immediately comforted Wang.

Wang is a little at a loss, this kind of thing, I haven't heard of anyone coming for the second time.

Jiang Wanbai looked at the two dice in the bowl, and suddenly smiled, "I think, you are too blessed, this bowl is a little unbearable, you see, the two dice in this bowl are both six, maybe, the rest of the dice wants to get a seven o'clock, but it turns out that there is no such point at all, there is no way, I can only jump under the table and miss it." ”

Jiang Wanbai said humorously, and the atmosphere suddenly became joyful, and then, everyone looked into the bowl, but it wasn't, two red six.

"My aunt is right, it's really too full of blessings, and the bowl can't fit it." Tang Shaozheng was the first to react and said with a smile.

Everyone congratulated Wang and said that she would definitely make her wish come true.

This kind of thing, originally begged for verbal color, just like a broken bowl, everyone said that it was broken, everyone said that the Wang family was blessed, and the Wang family also felt that it seemed to be like this, and he was very happy.

Looking at her flushed face, you know that she should be able to sleep well tonight.

After Wang's family, it was Tian Laosan, Zhang and others, the points were big and small, but nothing unusual happened, until Tian Chengyu stretched out his hand and threw it, three red sixes, and immediately won a full house.

"Tonight's champion is Chengyu." Tang Shaozheng is now teaching Tian Chengyu to read every day, and he is his master, and he is very happy that his apprentice has such a good fortune.

Failing to get fame is his biggest regret, and if this matter is completed by Tian Chengyu, he will also be regarded as a wish.

"Haven't you yet rolled it?" Jiang Wanbai said.

"Even if I throw it, can I still have more points than Chengyu." Tang Shaozheng was far away.

"That's not necessarily, if you can throw the dice in half, you won't be able to surpass Chengyu." Jiang Wanbai said very casually, after speaking, she was also a little stunned, she watched too many gambling movies, and subconsciously told the plot of the gambling film.

Generally, when the villain throws three sixes, thinking that when he wants to win, the decency will come like this, Jiang Wanbai is used to it.

She was used to it, but the Tian family was simple-minded, so they naturally couldn't imagine that they could still do this, and their eyes widened in surprise.

"What if it's smaller than a point?" Tang Shaozheng didn't know what he had in mind, but he was very interested in this matter.

"Just make the dice powder, and you can't see the dots." Jiang Wanbai said with a smile.

"Wonderful!" Tang Shaozheng clapped his hands and said with a smile, "This method is good, next time, if I look at something from Jingzhi, I can use this method to make him willing to gamble and lose." ”

Respectfully, it is Cui Jingtang.

Everyone laughed, and didn't take his words as true, so they started throwing dice again.

In the end, Tian Chengyu won the championship with eighteen points and became the champion tonight, Tian Yinfeng was the eye of the list, fifteen points, and Tanhua was Zhao's at thirteen points.

The ranking was determined, and the moon cakes were distributed to them, and everyone sat in the courtyard, eating and gossiping at home, and the indescribable leisure was comfortable.

Early the next morning, Tang Shaozheng left the Tian family, but before noon, Mrs. Sun came to the Tian family with a smile to say hello, saying that she was here to propose marriage for Tang Shaozheng.

In this matter, Jiang Wanbai naturally wanted to ask Tian Yinfeng's opinion, but Tian Yinfeng didn't cry this time, but blushed and said that it was all up to Jiang Wanbai.

When Jiang Wanbai heard this, she still didn't understand what she meant, "Okay, then I'll be in charge of this matter, and I will marry you to Tang Shaozheng."

It's August now, after the New Year, Tang Shaozheng is going to Yancheng, your affairs have to be done quickly, it is best to finish it before the New Year, in this way, you are also good husbands and women. Jiang Wanbai pondered.

Tian Yinfeng's eyes are a little red, marrying Tang Shaozheng means leaving the Tian family, how can she be reluctant.

"Don't cry, it's a good thing. Besides, it's not like it's gone in the future, I heard that the sea is very beautiful, and in April next year, the weather will be warm, I'll go to Yancheng to see you, and by the way, I'll go to see the sea. Jiang Wanbai smiled and said, she must go to this Yancheng.

Tian Yinfeng thought that Jiang Wanbai was for her, tears fell as soon as she snapped, she was afraid to cover her eyes with her hands, she choked and said, "I won't go anywhere, I'll stay at home with my mother." ”

"What stupid things to say, what do I have to accompany. Besides, even if you want to stay at home with me, I don't want to stay at home, it's so beautiful outside, I don't go out to see how to do it. Jiang Wanbai said as if jokingly.

Tian Yinfeng was amused by Jiang Wanbai's words, thinking that Jiang Wanbai was comforting her, she was moved, guilty, and even more determined that she must be filial to Jiang Wanbai in the future.

Jiang Wanbai turned to leave, and as soon as she went out, she saw the dark blue outside, as if she could reach the sky as soon as she stretched out her hand, and her mood suddenly brightened.

What she said just now is not just as simple as talking, even in modern times, when time is so tight, she will go out to travel.

When you have money, you go to a farther place, and when you don't have money, you go to a closer place, to see the scenery of various places, to see different folk customs, there will always be some gain.

In this ancient time, the air is so good, the sky is so blue, and she has time, so she should go and see it, otherwise, who is worthy of crossing such a time.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wanbai's heart was a little restless, and she couldn't wait to go immediately, but she could only suppress these in her heart, now, she was not alone, if she really came to a trip that was just about to go, the family would have to be chaotic.

Sometimes you can be willful, but if you involve others, it is not only a matter of willfulness, but irresponsibility.

There will always be a chance in the future, exhaling softly, Jiang Wanbai entered the hall with a smile, and told Mrs. Sun that she agreed to ask for marriage.

Mrs. Sun smiled and couldn't see her eyebrows, and said auspicious words in a stack, after speaking, the two sides exchanged eight characters and went to find someone to calculate whether the lives of the two were compatible.

In this matter, Mrs. Sun or Tang Shaozheng had already prepared, and immediately handed a piece of red paper to Jiang Wanbai, Jiang Wanbai also found someone to write Tian Yinfeng's eight characters, and the two sides exchanged them, and the matter of proposing marriage was over.

Mrs. Sun took the eight characters and left, and Jiang Wanbai also hurriedly took the eight characters to find the third uncle, although she didn't believe in anything like chong and restraint, but everyone went through this process, she didn't go, it was easy to make people worry and gossip.

When the third uncle heard that Tang Shaozheng was going to marry Tian Yinfeng, he also applauded. He heard about yesterday's incident in the afternoon, and was hesitating to mention this matter to Jiang Wanbai, but he didn't expect it to be solved today.

"Yinfeng has endured hardships over the years, and now, he is finally bitter." The third uncle sighed while flipping through his yellow calendar.

Jiang Wanbai nodded, "I'm afraid I have to trouble the third uncle in this matter." ”

"What kind of trouble, this kind of good thing, I'm willing." After speaking, the third uncle patted the yellow calendar lightly and said happily: "Good fate, it is really a good fate."

Tang Shao is the life of wood, Yinfeng is the life of water, and the criticism said, "Men and women are lucky in water, wealth and luck in the family often enter the room, often as precious as a mountain, and children are born in green shirts", the two of them are together, and they will definitely get better and better, you just wait to enjoy the blessings! ”

Whether they enjoy happiness or not, Jiang Wanbai didn't expect that, but if the two of them can really live well, she will also be happy for them," Uncle Cheng said. As she spoke, she handed a red paper bag to the third uncle.

The third uncle didn't refuse, this is happy money, he must collect it, no matter how much, it is the same meaning.

After this matter is done, the next thing is to discuss the bride price, that is, the men and women discuss the bride price, which is in other people's homes, but it is a big hurdle, it can be said that most of the family affairs are not successful, they are all troubled by this bride price, for example, the former Tian Lao Wu, Ma Xiaocui asked for a bride price of ten taels of silver, but the Tian family just couldn't get it.

But when it came to Jiang Wanbai, it was much easier, she didn't care at all how much dowry Tang Shaozheng would give her, she didn't sell her daughter, and she didn't expect this money to make a fortune.

However, she doesn't care, but Tang Shaozheng can't help but care, the bride price is related to the bride's face, there are many bride prices, the bride is talented and beautiful, he regards Tian Yinfeng as a lifelong partner, so naturally he can't let her suffer a little grievance.

Just the gift list, I wrote half a meter long, first of all, the bride price, six hundred taels, then the wedding cake, two quintals, abalone, sea cucumber and other seafood eight styles, each formula contains two packs of cabbage, take its homonym to make a fortune, three livestock, rice, wine What is needless to say, as long as there are customs, all have.

The most eye-catching on the gift list is the gold and silver jewelry given by Tang Shaozheng, there are three sets of heads, all of which are made of pure gold, one of which is also inlaid with rubies, and the rest are some jewelry and jade, such as jade Ruyi, mirrors inlaid with precious stones, etc., and then, there are medicinal materials such as mountain ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, etc., and finally, it is silk and satin and mink.

After the whole gift list, Jiang Wanbai conservatively estimated that it would cost two thousand taels no matter what.

Such a gift list, if it is passed out, it is estimated that everyone's eyeballs will have to fall, and there is a random thing on it, it is enough to marry a yellow flower girl, these ten miles and eight towns, I have never seen anyone have so many dowries, even the Liang family, who is the last money in the town, marries a wife, and it is impossible to have such a big hand.

Mrs. Sun sat on the side, looking at the gift list, only to feel dry, she really regretted that her daughter married early, otherwise if she could marry Tang Shaozheng, what kind of matchmaker would she say in the rest of her life, just wait for others to serve at home every day.

With a grunt, Mrs. Sun couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Jiang Wanbai looked at the gift list and felt red and warm, she expected that Tang Shaozheng would give good things, but she didn't expect him to give so much.

But think about it, Tang Shaozheng came out of the big threshold of the capital, although he was separated from his family, but the good things in his hand, whatever he took out, he couldn't exchange them for some silver, plus, he was a fat man, and he was a person who could live, so it was not surprising that he could take out so many things.

"This gift list, you see if there are any problems, if not, make an appointment to make this family affair on a date."

It was not easy for Mrs. Sun to pull her eyes off the gift list, and asked Jiang Wanbai with a smile, she didn't want to do anything else now, she just wanted to do this well, and when the master was happy, she would be satisfied with a few more happy money.

"No problem." Jiang Wanbai put the gift list on the table, and let out two breaths, before she regained her calm, this thing is good, but unfortunately it is not hers, when the dowry is given, she will send Tian Yinfeng away, and even the fifty taels of silver saved for her will be given to her together.

"Twenty days later, September 12, is a good day, why don't you set it for the ceremony?" Mrs. Sun asked.

Twenty days, not long, not short, Tang Shaozheng is just listing the gift list now, but to implement the real thing, you still need to prepare well.

The Tian family is also here, when the time comes, Tang Shaozheng will send the dowry gift over, but they want to return the gift, although the return gift does not need a lot, but according to the custom, to return to Tian Yinfeng's own clothes, shoes and socks and other things, this thing, but it is very time-consuming.

Jiang Wanbai naturally had no opinion, and this matter was settled.

Jiang Wanbai talked to Mrs. Sun, and there was no second person present at all, but Tian Yinfeng's dowry was two thousand taels, and it still blew all over the country like a gust of wind, and everyone was envious that Tian Yinfeng could find such a good family affair, and that the Tian family could have such a good son-in-law.

As for Tang Shaozheng's previous residence in the Tian family, he was thrown to Java a long time ago, and only some people are envious, and when they can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, they will mention this matter sourly, saying that they won't hook up with people, of course they can't find such a good relative.

Of course, even if she said it, no one would respond to her, this is purely pink eye, and if you have the time to take care of her, it is better to ask specifically what the two thousand taels of silver dowry is, what it looks like, they have never seen so much money in their lives.

Tian Jia and Tian Yinfeng quickly became the center of everyone's topic. Of course, the Tian family is rich, and there are many people who have made bad ideas after knowing the news, such as the one who is sitting in the Tian family's house now, claiming to be Jiang Wanbai's cousin.

Dressed in crooked clothes, I don't know if the shoes are big or what's going on, one is worn on the feet, the other is pulled, the hair seems to be combed, but the comb is crooked, anyway, how does this Jiang Huai look at it, how does he not look like a serious person.

Jiang Wanbai frowned and looked at Jiang Huai, thinking about the things about Mrs. Jiang's mother's family. The Jiang family is in business, Jiang Wanbai's generation has a total of four children, two sons, and two daughters, but unfortunately, ancient children are particularly prone to early death.

One winter, Mrs. Jiang's younger brother contracted a wind chill, and even tropical chills, and a few days passed, just when the Jiang family was immersed in the pain of losing a child, Mrs. Jiang's sister also couldn't afford to be sick, and her brother had a disease, and as a result, naturally she couldn't be saved.

In this way, the Jiang family died two children one after another, leaving Mrs. Jiang and her brother Jiang Mingfeng.

Later, Mrs. Jiang got married and has been in contact with the Jiang family, but with the death of the Jiang family and the death of Jiang Mingfeng and Jiang Mingfeng's family to do business in the south, this contact has become less and less.

As for this Jiang Huai, Mrs. Jiang has no impression at all, and she doesn't know where he came from.

Is this considered a poor in the downtown and no one asks, the rich have distant relatives in the mountains, Jiang Wanbai looked at the bag of dim sum that Jiang Huai brought on the table, which had been scattered, and she was really troubled, she was not rich yet, so someone came to fight the autumn breeze.

"Cousin, my cousin Yinfeng, I haven't seen her for so many years, but I've always been very worried."

Jiang Huai used his small squinted eyes to carefully look at the furnishings of the Tian family, they were all broken tables and chairs, which were not worth anything at all, what was going on with the Tian family, did he know that he was coming and hid all the valuable things.

Remember Yinfeng, do you know which Yinfeng is and what she looks like! Jiang Wanbai really wanted to give him two sentences, but when they met for the first time, she still endured it with a good temper, "Yinfeng is getting married now, I'm afraid it's not good to come out to meet outsiders." ”

Jiang Wanbai bites the word outsider very hard, isn't it an outsider, you know, the elder brother and cousin can get married, not to mention that this is still a distant cousin.

Jiang Huai's face was obviously very thick, as if he hadn't heard Jiang Wanbai's meaning at all, and said enthusiastically: "I'm not an outsider, I'm all my own relatives, I haven't seen him for so many years, so I should reminisce about the old days." ”

"Yinfeng is really inconvenient now." Jiang Wanbai saw that he was really not on the road, so she was not polite to him.

Jiang Huai licked his face and smiled, "It's inconvenient, forget if it's inconvenient." With a roll of his eyes, he continued: "Cousin, I heard that Yinfeng's dowry is two thousand taels? ”

Finally getting to the point, Jiang Wanbai's face sank, "Almost." ”

Jiang Huai immediately became interested, "Cousin, how are you going to spend such a large sum of money?" ”

Before Jiang Wanbai could speak, he continued to rush to speak, "Cousin, now you don't practice buying a house or buying land, those are dead things, if you buy those, the money will be pressed in it, and you won't be able to get out."

Now it is popular to do business, business is a long stream, a sum of money to invest, it will not take three or five years, absolutely even the interest to earn back, the rest of the time, just wait for the money, after seven or eight years, it is estimated that the money can be doubled.

Double, cousin, that's four thousand taels. Jiang Huai exaggeratedly stretched out his four fingers and gestured to Jiang Wanbai, and the spitting star was about to be sprayed on Jiang Wanbai's face.

Jiang Wanbai looked at his black mud full of nails, and wanted to drive him out immediately, she thought that this Jiang Huai was here to fight the autumn wind, but she didn't expect that she really underestimated his appetite, he was going to make her bankrupt.

is still doing business, just like him, it is strange that he can do good business.

It may be that the dissatisfaction on Jiang Wanbai's face is too obvious, Jiang Huai's body is straight, "Does my cousin not believe my words?" ”

Jiang Wanbai nodded very honestly, not polite at all.

Jiang Huai's face darkened, but soon, he gave himself a step down, "No wonder my cousin doesn't believe me, to be honest, I'm a little miserable like this now."

However, cousin, when doing business, there will always be times when you encounter difficulties, but as long as you pass this threshold, you will be guaranteed to be rich and expensive. Jiang Huai said with a look of scolding Fang Xuan.

Speaking of this, he approached Jiang Wanbai and said mysteriously, "Cousin, you know why I'm like this now, but am I still so confident?" ”

"I don't know, and I don't want to know." Jiang Wanbai sat there, just like Mount Tai, let you wind and rain, I didn't move.
