Chapter 40
"It is said that there is a country overseas, called Aolai Country, and there is a famous mountain in the country, called Huaguo Mountain......" Jiang Wanbai looked up at the night sky, telling the story of Sun Wukong in a colorful voice, when she was excited, her voice changed, and when she was cheerful, her tone was brisk.
Everyone in the Tian family and Ouyang Jun couldn't help but be captured, and their mood changed with Sun Wukong's situation, hearing that Sun Wukong broke into the underworld and fighting the heavens, they also wanted to fight happily, and when they heard that Sun Wukong was deceived, they were filled with righteous indignation, and they couldn't wait to sue Sun Wukong and ask him not to believe those bad guys.
In this way, Sun Wukong was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain. Okay, it's too late today, you guys go to sleep. Jiang Wanbai unknowingly, she actually spoke in the middle of the night, so she hurriedly urged everyone.
"If you come to deceive people too much...... Ouyang Jun said angrily, and when the others heard it, they immediately nodded, and then asked Jiang Wanbai, "What about later?" โ
"Later? Of course, we will have to talk about it tomorrow. Jiang Wanbai said and stood up, she was also a little sleepy now.
Everyone was a little disappointed, but they were all used to it, they didn't feel anything, they moved the small bench and prepared to go back to sleep, only Ouyang Jun, he chased Jiang Wanbai and said: "Did Sun Wukong later achieve cultivation, and then killed Rulai and destroyed Heavenly Court?" โ
This kid is really not afraid of things, and he would think of this. If according to the later interpretations of Journey to the West, that heavenly court represents the imperial court, and that Rulai represents the feudal system, then according to Ouyang Jun's thoughts, wouldn't he be going to rebel?
Of course, this is just a small insinuation, and it can't be taken seriously, Jiang Wanbai thought for a while and said, "Do you think Sun Wukong can succeed on his own?" No matter how great a person's ability is, there will always be times when he can't think of it.
And, even if he succeeds, what is he going to do? Is he the Jade Emperor, or is he left to the heavens? โ
Ouyang Jun was speechless when asked, and after a while, he said, "Anyway, I just want to do it happily." โ
"Sun Wukong turned the heavens upside down, he is already vigorous!"
Ouyang Jun fell into deep thought, he always longed to be like his grandfather, and wanted to do something earth-shattering like his grandfather, but he never thought about what this thing was, or whether he had the ability to do it.
"Okay, you can think about this later. Now, go to bed first. "But when it comes to sleeping, Jiang Wanbai is a little embarrassed, this Tian family doesn't even have an empty house now, where does Ouyang Jun sleep?
Ouyang Jun also seemed to have discovered this problem, "I know that there is nothing in your family, so I don't care." When my grandfather was marching and fighting, he slept in mass graves and ate raw meat. Speaking of his grandfather, Ouyang Jun was proud.
"Okay, backbone!" Jiang Wanbai praised, but speaking of this, she remembered a good thing, that is, the tent. It's a bit too late to build a house right away, but tomorrow we can build a tent for Ouyang Jun so that he has a place to live.
That night, Jiang Wanbai asked Tian Lao Er to remove the door panel of the atrium and lay a relatively new layer of cover on it, so that Ouyang Jun tried to lie down and see if it worked.
"Alright, that's not good." Ouyang Jun was a little impatient with Jiang Wanbai's mother-in-law, how could he be the same as his own mother.
Jiang Wanbai glared at Ouyang Jun, in summer, this atrium was not cold at all, but there were a lot of mosquitoes, so Ouyang Jun was lit with wormwood, and Jiang Wanbai went back to the house to rest.
As soon as she entered the house, she was shocked that there was someone in the house.
"It's me!" Li Qingyi was afraid that Jiang Wanbai would shout, so he hurriedly whispered.
Jiang Wanbai had been waiting for someone to pick up Ouyang Jun, but she was not surprised by his arrival, so she lit the oil lamp next to her, and then said, "That kid is outside, if you want to take him away, you can go." โ
Li Qingyi shook his head, Zeng Taifu was going to see his orchids after he woke up, and when he saw those orchids, he couldn't survive, and he almost fainted.
Now, he is still lying on the bed, at this time, take Ouyang Jun back, with Ouyang Jun's temper, it is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, it is better to let Ouyang Jun stay here for a few days, and wait for Zeng Taifu to calm down.
Besides, he had just listened to Jiang Wanbai's story and his conversation with Ouyang Jun, and he felt that maybe this was an opportunity, "My cousin will live with you first, and you can help me take good care of him." โ
"You're not going to take him back?" Jiang Wanbai was a little disappointed.
Li Qingyi was interested, "My cousin is the little marquis, do you know how many people in this capital want to slap him up but can't?" โ
Slapping Ouyang Jun, this is a good idea, but, with Ouyang Jun's stinky temper, Jiang Wanbai Jue's way of doing it is not as easy as implementing her plan to get rich, besides, "He is the little marquis, but what he has, isn't it given by his father, if I do that, maybe you will think that I have ill intentions, and then it will ......."
Hehe, there is no human rights in this ancient world, she did it today, maybe she will be wiped out by God tomorrow, and she will not leave any traces.
Li Qingyi smiled, "You're smart." โ
"I don't think you're praising me at all, but a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall." Jiang Wan glanced at Li Qingyi in vain, this person is also good-looking, and this character is not pleasing at all.
Li Qingyi's smile widened, "I'm more at ease now, and I'm looking forward to the next time I come back, my cousin's change." โ
"What can change, it's not that it's darkened, thinned, and pitiful that no one hurts."
Li Qingyi propped his head with his fingers and thought about it with some annoyance, "That's not bad." โ
Jiang Wanbai's heart jumped by his action, damn, it's just too bad to see a beauty or something under the lamp, but she also seems to have sniffed something out of his words, "If I'm not good to Ouyang Jun, you won't settle accounts in the future, right?" โ
"My cousin is thirteen years old, and it's time for him to fend for himself." Li Qingyi didn't answer Jiang Wanbai's words, but said this.
However, Jiang Wanbai heard his attitude from his words, pursed her lips, and said, "You are ruthless." โ
"It's better than waiting until someone else is cruel to him."
Jiang Wanbai snorted, and suddenly, she remembered something, so she quickly took out the pagoda white jade from her sleeve, as well as the gold chain, reached out and handed it to Li Qingyi, she said, "Your cousin's things." โ
Li Qingyi's heavy pupils were a little darker, "He actually gave you this thing!" After a moment's hesitation, he added, "That's it, since he gave it to you, it's yours." โ
Jiang Wanbai's eyes lit up, she always felt that she had gone too far in this matter, but if Li Qingyi said so......
Li Qingyi glanced at Jiang Wanbai with a look that he had expected that you would be reluctant, and then walked out of the room and walked away in the moonlight.
And Ouyang Jun was sleeping deeply at this time, and he didn't know that his cousin had been here and walked past him.
Jiang Wanbai lay on the kang, took the white jade and gold chain in her hand, looked at it again and again, and then blew out the oil lamp and prepared to sleep. Closing her eyes, she thought that when she had time, she should go down to town and find a master goldsmith to attach the chain.
Jiang Wanbai slept, but there were still many people in the Tian family who didn't sleep.
In the west house of the wing, Zhao opened Tian Laosi's hand and whispered: "What did you say about the origin of the young man that my mother brought back today, why did I think about it the more I think about it?" โ
Tian Laosi was rejected, and said a little unhappily, "What do you want to do so much, just listen to what your mother says." My mother knows that she will definitely not harm us. โ
Zhao glanced at Tian Laosi, and then said leisurely: "Miao'er is thirteen years old, I think that child is very good." โ
Tian Laosi pouted, the leper โกโก wanted to eat swan meat, that young man, can he look at Tian Miao?
Next to Zhao's side, through a curtain, Tian Chengbao had already slept, but Tian Miao's eyelids were rolling back and forth.
"I'm talking to you!" Zhao didn't hear Tian Laosi's answer, and poked Tian Laosi with his hand.
Tian Laosi knew that if he didn't speak, he would definitely not be able to pass this level, so he would
Zhao was a little disappointed, but
Next to her, Tian Miao'er bit her lip fiercely, she wanted to speak out and ask her mother not to do that, she was self-aware, she just wanted to marry an honest man and be good to her for the rest of her life, she didn't want any flowers in the mirror or the moon in the water, but after all, she still didn't dare to say it.
They were thinking about Ouyang Jun, but in fact, in the room next to them, Zhang and Tian Laosan were also thinking about him, but they were much more practical.
"That kid looks like he hasn't worked, no, I'll have to tell them to carry them tomorrow, let them let him order, don't let outsiders laugh at us for not being hospitable." Zhang said with some concern.
Tian Laosan nodded, looking preoccupied.
"What do you have to say?" Zhang has followed Tian Laosan for so many years, and he still knows Tian Laosan very well.
Tian Laosan was bored for a long time, and then said, "Liu'er should also find her mother-in-law." โ
When Zhang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "I want to find someone for Liu'er who knows the roots." โ
Tian Laosan nodded, and didn't say anything more, he just saw Ouyang Jun and felt that he was very good, but after thinking about it carefully, he immediately dispelled the original little thought, being a man, it is better to be down-to-earth.
The next day's breakfast was still sweet potato porridge, sorghum cakes and pickles, and after eating, Jiang Wanbai stopped everyone and prepared to arrange today's tasks.
"I came back too late yesterday to tell you." Jiang Wanbai looked around at everyone, then took out a few silver tickets from her sleeve and handed them to Tian Laosan, "This is the money for selling orchids, a total of five hundred taels, you will send them to your father-in-law in a while." โ
When everyone heard that there were five hundred taels, they all looked incredulous, five hundred taels, they had never seen so much money in their lives, only Ouyang Jun pursed his lips disdainfully, as soon as he mentioned this silver, he remembered Old Man Zeng, and he didn't know if he woke up.
"So, the third child, you have to take care of the three pots of flowers, and we will sell them for the ones that will be bred in the future, and we can get seventy percent of the silver." Jiang Wanbai admonished.
"Mother, I can also help the third brother." When Tian Laosi heard that the flower was worth so much money, he was immediately moved.
Jiang Wanbai glanced at him, "Those flowers are our common property, but the third child is careful and can take care of them." โ
Tian Laosi was silent, speaking of this serving crops, this Tian family, there is really no one who compares to Ueda Laosan.
"In the future, there will be times when you are busy." Jiang Wanbai added another sentence, which made Tian Laosi's face look a lot better.
"Mother, don't worry, I will take care of those flowers." Tian Laosan saw that Jiang Wanbai trusted him so much, and his honest face was full of smiles.
Jiang Wanbai nodded, and said, "I sold the screen embroidered by Liu'er, and I sold it for five taels of silver." โ
When everyone heard this, they were happy again, especially Tian Liu'er, her face was like a red apple, and she felt that she could finally sleep with confidence.
"In the end, it's our task today, and the ground outside is also panicking, and I'm going to put it out and see if I can plant something." Jiang Wanbai said so, but in fact, the fundamental reason was that she was afraid that there would be a snake nest outside, so it was better to sort it out.
Tian Lao Er nodded busily, he was too busy the first two days, otherwise they would have done this a long time ago.
"Second brother, you go and ask the third uncle who owns this land, if there is no owner, you go to Fang Rui and ask him to help us run away, let's buy this land."
Third, you go and send money to your in-laws.
Fourth, you go to the town, see if you buy some oilcloth and come back, by the way, and some wire and bamboo poles, and we will set up a tent in the courtyard.
The rest of the people who had nothing to do were just going outside with me to pull weeds. After speaking, Jiang Wanbai said to Ouyang Jun, "You come too." โ
Ouyang Jun probably guessed that Jiang Wanbai set up the tent for him just now, and now listening to her let him work, he didn't reject this feeling of integrating into the Tian family, and besides, what was so difficult about pulling weeds, so he snorted and agreed.
In an instant, the people of the Tian family all took action.
