The marriage between King An and Zhao Wen'er was lost because King An went away, but the entanglement in the middle, Du Xiaoxi and Liu Yao, the two people who were worried about it, didn't know at all.
The big watermelon in the next village was delicious, and after eating, Du Xiaoxi and Liu Yao, who had nothing to do, decided to follow Mrs. Liu to pick the watermelon in person.
Du Xiaoxi picked the most hawthorn in his last life, they lacked water there, and rarely planted watermelons, Du Xiaoxi really hadn't been to the watermelon field, so he was particularly positive on this day.
Putting on a small straw hat, the two walked hand in hand behind their grandmother along the long ridges in the melon field until the last time they bought.
A large watermelon is scattered on the ground, hidden in the leaves, so that the two of them have a feeling of treasure hunting, running in the melon field to find the largest watermelon and patting it vigorously, listening to the sound of the sound of ripe to be picked.
Mrs. Liu stood on the ground and looked at the two people running wildly in the field, and looked at her grandson's smiling face and laughed with him.
Du Xiaoxi likes to eat fruits, and the consumption at home is also large, this time the two of them almost picked all the ripe ones that grew in the fields.
Taking advantage of the fact that the owner of the melon field was moving watermelons to the car, Liu Yao held a big watermelon and Du Xiaoxi followed towards the stream next to him.
Liu Yao washed the big watermelon with water, and Du Xiaoxi stood by the stream looking at the idyllic scenery around, praising twice from time to time.
The north is very cold, and there are only a few months of the year suitable for growing crops that have no growth period. This area at your foot is close to Kyoto, and according to the landlord's request, all the melon fields are planted. From a distance, it looks like a green carpet on the ground, and if it is modern, it is definitely the best place for farmhouses sought after by people in the city.
The two returned to the car with the watermelon, and saw a large bag of never-before-seen vegetables placed next to the shed guarding the melon field, Du Xiaoxi looked at the woman standing next to him suspiciously and asked, "Auntie, what kind of dish is that, I haven't seen it yet, is it delicious?" ”
The woman shook her head helplessly, "The little lady doesn't dare to be, it's water cabbage." It's what was planted in the creek where you went to wash the melons. This thing grows fast and can be sold for money. We all grow this, it tastes good, and many people love to eat it. ”
Du Xiaoxi remembered what had just been planted on the water, and praised it in his heart. Growing vegetables in the water saves land and effort. It's good, indeed.
Buy good melons. Before getting into the car, the housewife stuffed a large bag of water cabbage into the car, and the group rushed home, waiting for Mrs. Liu to watch Liu Yao and Du Xiaoxi share most of the watermelon and arrive at home.
After unloading the melon, the cook looked at the big bag of vegetables in the carriage and asked suspiciously, "Madam." Eat this at noon? ”
Mrs. Liu didn't know the water cabbage, thinking that Du Xiaoxi and they had brought it back, so she nodded, "Just do this, and then make some light food." ”
The cook answered and went to the kitchen with a large bag of vegetables.
At noon, the family looked at one of the plates of uneaten vegetables and was very strange, and Mrs. Liu called the cook over and asked suspiciously, "What kind of dish is this?" Why didn't it serve before? ”
The cook looked up and said respectfully: "It's the water cabbage brought back by the old lady at noon, and the slave maid remembers that it seems to be the last time that the Ten Thousand Buddhas will come from the West, because it is planted in the water without difficulty, and a lot of them are planted in the small rivers in many villages." Large families feel that this is an ordinary person who eats substantially, and rarely eats. ”
Uncle Liu remembered that last year, the emperor had praised the monks of the peasant school for this high-yield cabbage, nodded in agreement, and was the first to pick up the chopsticks and taste them.
"It's not delicious!" Mrs. Liu put down her chopsticks and made an evaluation.
Du Xiaoxi feels a bit like rape when she eats it, and the fat mesophyll feels like a layer of oily skin, some people like it and some people don't like it.
Du Xiaoxi and everyone in the Liu family are all masters who don't like to eat, and they don't feel that the cabbage is as delicious as it.
……
Uncle Liu's strange illness has improved little by little after moving to a new place, and now there is no carrion on his body, and scars of all sizes are also recovering, the only bad thing is that there are many scars left on his body, and the place where he originally had dark spots also left deep marks. But these things don't matter more than life.
When he was seriously ill, Liu Ziping asked the emperor to resign, but Emperor Jiayuan did not agree, which means that he has been on a long vacation for most of the year. Now that Liu Ziping's health is improving, a few days ago, the household servant had sent someone to invite Liu Ziping to go on a business trip. The uncle of the Liu family, who was in good health, decided to move back to the city first and officially return in a few days.
Du Xiaoxi proposed to change places and houses to recuperate, and after the uncle of the Liu family improved significantly, the eldest lady of the Liu family specially invited the feng shui master who was proficient in this aspect to see if the house she lived in was unlucky, and although she didn't find out anything, the uncle of the Liu family decided not to live in that house.
Uncle Liu's original residence was an official mansion, a radish and a pit, not to mention that the whole of Kyoto was rumored that the house was not good, and it was impossible to allocate a new residence in a short time. They had to live in a house that they had owned, but it was too far away from the place where they were on an errand.
After moving, Uncle Liu's health improved and began to go on a business trip, and everyone who had been here for half a year planned to return to Shanshui County.
Du Xiaoxi's marriage was also decided.
September 18 of next year.
Of course, this day is not easy for Du Xiaoxi to cry for, as a little flower of the motherland, even if he is destined to be destroyed, he has to wait until he is eighteen years old.
It's just a virtual age!
Mrs. Liu happily asked Master Xile to choose a date, thinking that her granddaughter-in-law would enter the door this year, and her great-grandson would be born next year, but it would be delayed until next year to get married. Mrs. Liu's depressed!
However, because it was a day chosen by Master Xile himself, everyone in the Liu family decided to follow the master's words and set the date for next year.
Liu Yao looked at this day and his eyes were even red, and he wanted to be angry, the government exam in March next year, and the palace exam in June next year, if he could be named on the gold list, she would be very happy to marry his sister when he returned with honor!
After living in Beijing for a few days, Liu Erye took the group to say goodbye to his eldest brother and sister-in-law and set out on the way home.
The journey was safe, and finally returned to Shanshui County.
This one goes. Abducted other people's daughters for half a year, Liu Erye was also very embarrassed, not to mention that this time the eldest brother could live was also Du Xiaoxi's way, Liu Erye didn't go home immediately, and drove the carriage directly to Dujia Village.
In order to consider that the sons will divide the house after the family splits in the future, Daddy Du specially let people build a large yard with a few small group courtyards, that is, in the future, the relationship between generations can also live their own lives.
Old Mrs. Liu saw that the courtyard of the Liu family's earthen embryo house had become a large courtyard of brick houses, although she doubted whether the Du family had used their old Liu family's silver. However, I have been really satisfied with Du Xiaoxi over the years, and I don't care about these anymore.
Grandma Du and Du Niang welcomed people into the door with a smile, and Daddy Du looked at the old girl who winked at him and smirked at him with a stinky face.
What is this called?
Before I married into your family, I was abducted for more than half a year! How unreasonable!
Of course, Second Master Liu knows why his in-laws are black-faced, and in the past six months, Father Du has written letters and asked the people in the shop to bring him back to his daughter.
"Dude. Little brother is really ashamed! It's all the little brother's fault this time. I beg your pardon! ”
Liu Erye apologized very sincerely in the face of Daddy Du's stinky face.
"Humph! I thought that I only had nine sons in my life, and I didn't have a daughter at all! ”
Second Master Liu gritted his teeth and "......, can I bite you to death?"
Knowing that Lao Tzu wants sons the most, you still show off that you gave birth to nine! Isn't it really a bad beating?
Looking at Daddy Du's proud and ostentatious fat face, Second Master Liu's rare heart was stuffed.
Second Master Liu decided to change the subject.
"Big brother can be good this time. It's really a loss to have Xiaoxi, this girl. Dude, you can't imagine what this girl thinks. My eldest brother's strange illness was said by the doctors, and it was not cured. Hi girl said to try a different house, and the result is good! This girl is really a big lucky star! ”
Daddy Du's proud face: "That's!" Don't look at who the girl is! My sons are amazing! My daughter isn't bad either! ”
Second Master Liu: Can you still have a good chat? Can you stop mentioning your stupid sons?
Watching Second Master Liu eat deflated, Daddy Du had a sense of comfort that he had avenged his daughter's abduction.
Looking at Second Master Liu's black face, Father Du made persistent efforts. "Last month, the sixth daughter-in-law added another boy, hey! My family now has eleven grandchildren, and they can eat each of them, and I am worried about marrying them in the future! ”
Looking at Daddy Du's sad face, Liu Erye smiled and didn't laugh twice, and made a silent amplification move.
"The wedding date of the young couple has been chosen!"
Daddy Du almost fell off the stool with a frightened face.
"What do you say?" His daughter is just a little bigger, so she wants to snatch it back!
Second Master Liu tasted the sour feeling of revenge, and said unhurriedly: "A good day chosen by Master Joy, September 18 next year!" ”
Speaking of Daddy Du, who Master Joy wanted to refute, was also instigated. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the family are all brain-dead fans, he just wants his daughter to stay at home for one more day, and his good daughter is only a little bigger, and she is about to get married! It hurts Dad's heart so much!
Looking at Daddy Du's heartbroken face, Second Master Liu felt that he was a little inauthentic, and finally closed his mouth and didn't continue to hit Daddy Du. In fact, he really wanted to say that I will have grandchildren in my family the year after tomorrow! Hahaha! It's still your girl's grandson with my old Liu family's surname! Hahaha!
Sincerely, he sent a lot of Kyoto specialties, and after eating, Liu Erye took his reluctant son home.
As a result, Second Master Liu, who returned happily, was about to explode within half an hour of arriving home!
He has been gone for half a year, and his family is about to change his surname!
Uncle Wu, the old housekeeper, dutifully reported what happened in the past six months to his master, and left with a black face and a head grabbing the ground, and the master left on crutches. Ay! Waiting for the little master to get married, he should also retire and enjoy the blessings of his children and grandchildren!
Mrs. Liu took her son and grandson to see her eldest son, and for a while all the masters of the family were gone, the tiger was not the monkey and the overlord was the king, and the second Mrs. Liu, He, suddenly became the biggest master in the family.
The person of the He family, people who don't know the Liu family only think that she is a nouveau riche who likes gold and silver, but she is extremely lucky, and as the second lady of the richest family in Shanshui County, she simply fell into the silver nest.
The real situation is that after the He family did a few mistakes, he was excluded from the scope of the family by Liu Erye, although he wore gold and silver bird's nest and white fungus every day, but the He family had no right to mobilize the silver of the Liu family's inner house and shops.
When Liu Erye just left with his mother and son, the He family still played cards with old friends every day and enjoyed the flowers.
As a result, after waiting for two months, Second Master Liu did not come back, and someone from He's mother's family came to the door.
The elder brother and sister-in-law of the He family mourned and cried that since the death of their father, the younger sisters and nieces who married out did not come to see their poor brothers. The poor dogs in the family are disgusted now, and they are all starving to death!
Liu's second wife, He, is synonymous with big breasts and brainlessness, and when she saw her brother and nephews in rags and hungry stomachs, she immediately moved a lot of things from her yard and sent them out.
There are one and two, and after a few days, the people of the Liu family have not come back, and the people of the He family have come to the door again, so after two or three times, they probably realized that the people of the Liu family will not come back immediately, and the people of the He family actually asked to live in the house because of the holes in the house.
Second Mrs. Liu looked at her poor brother and sister-in-law and nephews and immediately agreed!
The people of the He family lived in the Liu family and were left by the second master Liu to guard Mama Rong Gui and the housekeeper Uncle Wu resolutely disagreed, but Uncle Wu's old arms and legs did not have the slightest lethality, Mama Gui was sick and bedridden, and she really couldn't resist, Mama Rong could only take the girls to resolutely guard the courtyards of several masters, and not let them move a penny inside.
The people who lived in the He family were still not satisfied, and after half a month, they began to cheat and cheat in the shop under the name of the Liu family, and even wanted to withhold the silver they earned.
It was only a few days ago that they heard that the people of the Liu family were coming back, so they packed up their things and left.
Of course, the yard where they lived, the vases, calligraphy and paintings, and even the bed tents were all decorated. If it weren't for the heavy furniture, there might have been only a few empty houses left!
When Second Master Liu heard about the details, he thought of how cheap the He family had taken advantage of the family, and the distressed meat hurt, so he immediately ran to the courtyard of Second Mrs. Liu.
"He's! Who asked you to let them enter the gate of my Liu family? ”
Looking at her angry husband, He shrank and said coquettishly: "Xianggong, my brother's house has collapsed and there is no place to live." ”
"His He family has no place to live, so should he live in my Liu family? You are generous, a large family has lived at home for more than three months, and you don't need money for food and drink? That's not all, I dared to go to the shop to eat and take, I really thought that the surname here was He! ”
"Food, drink, plus the few in the yard, and the ones that were taken from the shop, do you know how much they used? A full eight hundred and thirty-one taels of silver! All this money is because you don't have it, you go and ask your good brothers for it, and if you can't find it, you will deduct it from your monthly silver! ”
Looking at his wife in front of him, wearing gold and silver, covering his face and crying, Liu Erye felt depressed for a while.
Sure enough, who was not blind when he was young.
