Now that the two families have already talked about their family affairs face to face, the next thing will be easy. The two families came forward separately, Lian Man'er's family invited Grandma Shen San to be a big matchmaker, and Mrs. Qin invited the wife of Qin Tongzhi's boss, Du Tongzhi, to be a matchmaker. Such a good thing, who doesn't want to put the icing on the cake, Grandma Shen San and Mrs. Du are naturally willing. Especially Grandma Shen San, she was very dedicated, helping Zhang Luo to close the eight characters, change the stickers, make ......up her mind, and handle it one by one.

Gorou also wrote back to Mr. Lu, telling Mr. Lu that the family matter had been decided, and how the family was grateful to Mr. Lu. Even Shouxin specially asked Gorou to write it in the letter, hoping that when Gorou got married, Mr. Lu would come to drink the wedding wine.

"Mr. Lu has the emperor's order, I'm afraid that he may not be able to come when the time comes." Lian Man'er said to Zhang in private.

In this era, officials were not allowed to leave their duties without permission unless they had a holy decree. The same is true for Mr. Lu's tenure in Beijing.

"It doesn't matter if he can come or not, we have to have that. Your father, I am really grateful to Mr. Lu, and I miss Mr. Lu. Zhang said, "Even if Mr. Lu can't come at that time, your father also understands that Mr. Lu has no choice." ”

"That's right." Of course, even Man'er understands this truth. Speaking of which, since Mr. Lu left Liaodong Mansion, except for Gorou who went to the capital to see Mr. Lu, the family has not seen Mr. Lu for several years. Thinking of the years together, it was really like an arrow.

"It's not difficult to meet Mr. Lu." Lian Man'er thought about it, then smiled, "When this matter of my brother is finished, mother, you and my father will also go out for a walk." I didn't listen to my brother, there are a lot of interesting places outside. You go south, go to the capital for a walk, just to meet Mr. Lu. ”

"That's a good idea." Zhang listened. also smiled, "We also go on a tour." That is, your brother's affairs have been done, and you still have to do your business. You're done with both of these things. We're loose. Go out and see the world. ”

"When the time comes, just take Xiao Qi, doesn't he always envy my brother." Lian Man'er said.

"Yes, that's right." Zhang said with a smile. For the future life, Zhang is also full of longing and confidence.

The Lian and Qin families were married, and many female relatives came to the door to say goodbye to the Zhang family and inquire when they would get married. Zhang and Lian Man'er's lives have become more lively and busy. Almost every day, the ladies visited. The mother and son often have to go out to the banquet and pay a return visit. Plus prepare the family to get married. also secretly prepared Lian Man'er's dowry. Busy from morning to night every day.

During this period. The drawings of the greenhouse have been almost sold, and there are already several families in the city or in the suburbs of the village, and some are in their own gardens. A greenhouse was built. The vegetables and vegetables produced are naturally eaten at home. From the hands of Gorou and Lian Man'er. also sent a few drawings to do favors.

Among these newly built greenhouses, the Shen family is naturally the largest and the most magnificent. Gorou deliberately selected skilled men from Zhuangzi, and in addition to helping to build a greenhouse, he also helped to grow vegetables and vegetables. Many vegetable seeds and seedlings were also transported from the Lianjia Zhuangzi.

In addition to the greenhouse, a new greenhouse has also been built on the Zhuangzi, and the first batch of pea seedlings and mushrooms have been sold in the market. The pricing of these pea seedlings and mushrooms will not be cheap, but they will not be too expensive to afford. As a relatively expensive fresh vegetable in winter, ordinary people can also buy some when they are entertaining, so that the banquet is more decent. As for the wealthier people, but they can't afford to build their own homes or are inconvenient to build greenhouses, these vegetables are more welcome.

Occasionally, the vegetables in the greenhouse become rich, and some vegetables such as chives will appear in Lianjia's department store. Often, as soon as these vegetables are put on the table, they are sold out.

The purchasing power of the people in Fucheng is still quite amazing.

And with this one more entry, even the family's purse is fuller, which is needless to say.

On this day, as soon as Lian Man'er and Zhang's family saw off Mrs. Zhang Qianhu and the sisters, the little girl outside came in to report that Yan Daopo was here.

"Why is she here again?" As soon as Lian Man'er heard that it was Yan Daopo, she frowned slightly.

This Yan Daopo is very famous among the big families in Fucheng. She lives in a Taoist temple in the northeast corner of the city, and walks the streets every day to flatter the wives and grandmothers of large families. It is said that it was taught by an immortal master who went down to earth by a certain star in the sky, and there are some Taoist lines, which will pass through the yin and invite the gods, because the immortal master taught her the fairy prescription, and she can also cure some women's nameless miscellaneous diseases, especially good at dancing the gods.

Lian Man'er's family moved to live in Fucheng, such a big family, Yan Daopo naturally would not ignore it, and as soon as she came and went, she voted for Zhang's fate. Zhang's sesame oil money is given every month, and every time Yan Daopo comes, Zhang's does not let her be empty-handed.

In Zhang's eyes, Yan Daopo is a half-immortal figure.

It's just that, according to Lian Man'er, this Yan Daopo is just a liar with a three-inch incorruptible tongue.

This liar is very high, in this city, there is no door of a big family that she can't enter, sometimes, she can do a few things, and many of the women in this city are loyal believers of this Yan Daopo.

Although Lian Man'er didn't think much of Yan Daopo in her heart, however, following the customs of the place hindered the Zhang family, and it was not easy to categorically ban it. just warned the daughters-in-law behind his back, and reminded the Zhang family from time to time.

"We have already given the sesame oil money this month, and she also came to say hello last time and took a lot of happy money. It's only been a few days, and here she comes again. ”

Except for their mother and son, they are all confidants. Lian Man'er therefore did not hide her boredom with this Yan Daopo.

"You go out and tell her that my wife is asleep and that I am busy. Let her go back. Lian Man'er instructed Duofudao.

"Don't." Zhang hurriedly stopped, "It's all here, we just sent the guests out, let her know, go outside and say that it's not good for us to disrespect the monks." ”

"Mother's ......" Lian Man'er said helplessly, Zhang's words were clearly a pretext. Whether to respect the monk or not, when is it the same thing as not to see Yan Daopo.

"You, you're still young, you can't offend such a person." Zhang said. I don't know if what she said is that Yan Daopo, who is a monk, can't be offended, or if a person of Yan Daopo's character can't be offended. "It's just a little money, we don't care about it now, we just think it's doing good deeds and accumulating virtue."

"Don't worry, my mother is also this old, and I know it. …… There are some things that you have to believe in a little bit. Zhang said again.

Lian Man'er smiled bitterly secretly. Zhang said that there are some things, but you still have to believe a little bit. This sentence was said in the way of her face. According to Zhang's intentions, there should be some things that I don't believe in.

Everything is derived from theism, and if theism cannot be overturned, it is impossible to persuade Zhang and others to give up superstition. Regarding this matter, even Man'er has always taken an evasive attitude. She could only persuade the Zhang family from Yan Daopo's body.

However, so far, Yan Daopo has always been well-behaved in front of Lian Man'er, even if she asks for sesame oil money, she is very cautious. After all, to be able to mix in Fucheng to the present, Yan Daopo's eyes are still quite bright and can be carried clearly.

Even Lian Man'er, although he was tired of Yan Daopo in his heart, he could only convince himself that when the water was clear, there would be no fish.

Zhang said this, Lian Man'er did not continue to stop her, the little girl went out, and after a while, she brought in Yan Daopo, who was dressed in indigo.

As soon as she entered the door, this Yan Daopo hurriedly swept the dust, and asked Zhang and Lian Man'er deeply with a smile on her face.

This Yan Daopo looks to be in her thirties, with a medium build, a dark and red complexion, a long face, a pair of big triangular eyes, sparse eyebrows, and a slightly protruding mouth. It's okay not to open your mouth, but when you open your mouth, you will be exposed with a mouth full of teeth and purple gums.

It's really not a pleasing-looking woman. But she can walk the streets and go from house to house, and she eats very well. Naturally, this is also thanks to her mouth.

"I'll say hello to my wife and Bodhisattva." Yan Daopo grinned at the Zhang family and said, "Look at Mrs.'s face and flesh, it's better than a few days ago, this is auspicious and joyful." The sincerity of the wife's repair, she didn't have to do anything, she went up to heaven, and this wealth and peace arrived at the wife's house. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Lian Man'er twice, and then his eyes showed surprise, and his face bloomed with chrysanthemums.

"My wife didn't know how much she had cultivated in her previous life, and the blessings of this life were not enough for herself, and she blessed her children and grandchildren. The girl hasn't seen her for a few days, and her whereabouts are even better. This is which fairy in the sky descends to earth, the source of blessing is not shallow, the source of blessing is not shallow. Yan Daopo muttered while deliberately taking two steps back.

"The old woman is abrupt, abrupt......" Yan Daopo knelt down while bowing.

In front of Lian Man'er, Yan Daopo's words were still few, and she was extremely humble every time.

"She's a girl, don't talk nonsense, sit down and talk." Zhang smiled and asked Yan Daopo to sit down. Although she didn't let Yan Daopo continue, a discerning person could see at a glance that she had no objection to Yan Daopo's words.

In fact, many of Yan Daopo's words also spoke to Zhang's heart.

Yan Daopo can make her small Taoist temple incense flourish with her own strength, which naturally has her uniqueness. This observation of words and feelings, picking up what people like to hear, is one of her stunts.

With Lian Man'er there, Yan Daopo didn't dare to sit on the chair, let alone sit on the kang with Zhang's, so she only cautiously sat on one of the feet under the kang.

"Where did this come from?" Zhang chatted with Yan Daopo.

“…… At Liu Yuanwai's house in the east of the city, his wife doesn't know yet, that Liu Yuanwai's original wife just gave birth to a fat boy! Yan Daopo said.
