Chapter 115: Blind date
Liang Yuesong stood up, saluted his grandparents and elders, and then began to say: "I learned from the imperial court newspaper that in the past ten years, there have been several earthquakes in the north and south of Zhili, and there have been several earthquakes in the north and south of Zhili this year, which shows that my Ming Dynasty has entered a period of high incidence of earthquakes. Wallvo. There have been three or four recent incidents of abnormal well water in our county, and these things are not rumors, but they are true. Judging from the experience of the older generation across the country, abnormal well water is indeed a precursor to earthquakes. So I think it's better to believe it than to believe it. ”
Liang Yuesong's grandfather nodded and said, "Song'er is right, earthquakes are a major event that affects human lives. It is better to believe that it is there than to believe that it is not. Now that the heavens have warned and rumors are spreading outside, we must also prepare early. ”
"Father, how should we prepare?" Liang Wenmao heard that he had to prepare early, and he couldn't help but worry, how to prepare for this big family of more than a dozen people?
Liang Yuesong took the opportunity to say: "Uncle, now everyone who has a way in the city is trying to find a way to hide in other places. Those who could not go to other places began to build simple straw huts on open land. I suggest that we move to Juzhou for a while and then move back after a year. ”
Liang Yuesong's grandfather said: "This is not feasible, there are regulations in the imperial court, and officials are not allowed to take their parents to live in the territory. The county government does not give guidance to the office. Besides, your grandmother and I are old, and this trip is more than 2,000 taels, and we have been tired of traveling all the way, and our bones are falling apart when we get there. Go ahead, and I'll stay and watch the house. ”
Liang Wenmao also followed and said, "Song'er, your family should go back first." We won't go, it's not easy for the second brother to be there, where did our family go and live? Don't trouble the second brother. ”
Liang Yuesong was anxious when she heard them say this. I thought, the main thing for me to come this time is to take you to Juzhou, how can you do it if you don't go there. So he said: "It's not troublesome to get to Juzhou, let's all go, and no one can stay here." This is a matter of human life, and we must not be careless. As for the housing there, you don't have to worry about it. I have 70,000 or 80,000 yuan of silver in my hand, and it is not difficult to buy two houses. We basically took the waterway this way, it was not bumpy, and it was very steady. As for the matter of Lu Yin, let's go to the magistrate to intercede, spend more money, and see if we can be accommodating. It's not that we won't come back, but we're just going to stay temporarily, and I believe that for the sake of my father's face, the magistrate can give a guide. ”
When everyone heard that Liang Yuesong had seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver, they were all surprised. This big family, he hasn't saved 10,000 taels of silver in the past few years, how can he have so much silver?
Liang Yuesong's mother looked at everyone's puzzled eyes and said proudly: "Song'er is right, he did earn a lot of silver during this time. Now he has more than 10,000 taels a month for writing, and a few days before he came, he bought a mirror and earned more than 60,000 taels of silver as soon as he changed hands. The silver is clean, so you can rest assured. ”
When everyone heard Mrs. Liang say this, they no longer doubted it, and instead praised Liang Yuesong for his ability.
Liang Yuesong's grandfather said at this time: "The matter of moving will be discussed in two days, the Wu family found someone to deliver a message yesterday, asking me to take Song'er to his house as a guest, and the Wu family must have heard the news of the earthquake." I think it's better to settle Song'er's marriage earlier,
This cannot be delayed. Prepare a gift today and go to Wu Daoshan's house. ”
Wu Daoshan is the father of Liang Yuesong's quasi-father-in-law, and his quasi-father-in-law Wu Zun was promoted to an official in Shanxi, and the daughter's marriage in the family was handled by his grandfather and mother. The Wu family is not prosperous, and Liang Yuesong's quasi-father-in-law is a brother, and now he only has a pair of children under his knees. Daughter Wu Xiangyue is the eldest child, and a twelve-year-old son is still studying privately.
On the same day, Liang Yuesong and her grandfather came to Wu's house with gifts. Wu Daoshan and Liang Yuesong's grandfather are of the same generation, so they naturally want to come out to accompany them.
The ancients liked to be tactful and want to save face, this time Liang Yuesong's grandfather came to the Wu family as a guest, and the juniors of the Wu family naturally came to say hello, so that Wu Xiangyue and Liang Yuesong could meet. This blind date method is extremely hidden, if both men and women do not agree, the matter is not broken, and it will not hurt the other party's face.
Wu Daoshan was naturally very happy when he saw Liang Yuesong and his grandfather coming. Liang Yuesong hurriedly saluted and said, "Meet Grandpa Wu, is Grandpa Wu well?" ”
Wu Daoshan looked Liang Yuesong up and down, obviously very satisfied with Liang Yuesong, and said with a smile: "Okay, good!" I didn't think I had seen him for more than ten years, and Song'er became a young man in a blink of an eye. ”
"Thank you, Grandpa Wu, for the compliment!" Liang Yuesong said respectfully.
Wu Daoshan said to Liang Yuesong's grandfather again: "I heard that Song'er came back this time to prepare for next year's autumn, and will not return to Shandong?" ”
Liang Yuesong's grandfather sighed and replied, "Hey! Originally, it was planned to let Song'er come back to participate in next year's autumn festival, and she would not return to Shandong in the future. But now that the news of the earthquake is flying all over the sky, and everyone who has a way is going everywhere, it is not wise to stay here at this time. So I plan to let the family go back to Shandong in a few days. ”
"Yes, it's better to believe this kind of thing than to believe it. It's better to go out and avoid it. Wu Daoshan said.
Grandpa Liang Yuesong asked, "Listen to Brother Wu's meaning, and you are also going to go to other places?" ”
Wu Daoshan also sighed and said, "Hey! I'm worried about this. Zunsheng is a small official in Shanxi, and he is soft-spoken. If we go, we'll cause him trouble. I'm sending a letter to discuss this with him...... Wu Daoshan said.
At this moment, Liang Yuesong's mother-in-law came over with her children to greet Liang Yuesong's grandfather, interrupting Wu Daoshan's words.
Today's Wu Xiangyue is deliberately dressed up, she is thinly powdered, and her little face is still so handsome. The eyes are dark, but they are so watery, clear as a pool of clear water.
Wrapped in pale pink clothes, draped in white gauze, revealing a graceful neck and clearly visible collarbones, the pleats of the skirt are like snow and moonlight, flowing lightly on the ground, more than three feet long, making the gait more graceful and soft, three thousand green silk is tied up with a hair band, the head is inserted into a butterfly hairpin, a wisp of green silk hangs on the chest, thin powder, only add color, the faint red feeling on the cheeks creates a kind of pure skin like petals as delicate and lovely, the whole person is like a butterfly flying with the wind, and like a clear and transparent ice and snow......
When Liang Yuesong saw Wu Xiangyue, he was taken aback, wasn't this the young lady who shook the hexagram in front of his hexagram stall two days ago and asked about marriage? Fortunately, he was wearing a pair of sunglasses at the time and had a mustache glued to him, and Wu Xiangyue in front of him obviously didn't recognize Liang Yuesong as that
A fortune teller. Otherwise, this matter will be a big deal, and the big thing he did will be a gang. How it will end, he doesn't even know himself.
After Miss Wu and Liang Yuesong met the ceremony, this young lady actually looked Liang Yuesong up and down, Liang Yuesong's heart was pounding, thinking that she recognized me? She won't expose it on the spot, will she? She has been a master who dares to speak and act since she was a child, and according to her character, it is very possible to expose it on the spot.
When Liang Yuesong was frightened, Wu Xiangyue opened her mouth and said: "You are the author of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Er Yuesong, right? ”
Liang Yuesong's hanging heart finally let go. Could it be that this book of the heart has spread here so quickly? No, how did she know that? So he blurted out, "How do you know?" ”
"My father wrote to me." Wu Xiangyue said with some pride. Then he asked: "Hey, Liang Gongzi, have you finished writing the next volume?" Can you show me first? ”
"Yue'er, don't be rude! Don't go back yet. Her grandfather paused.
Liang Yuesong thought to herself, this little girl is quite fat. There was no sense of rustiness when I met for the first time.,It's not the same type as Youlan at all in terms of personality.。 There are many girls with this kind of lively and generous personality in their previous lives, and they are also the kind of girls that Liang Yuesong liked in her previous life. Besides, she has a good looks, and I have a good impression of her in my heart. Even so, I should be bold and not let him be intimidated. So he said: "The manuscript is forgotten in Juzhou, if you want to read it, go back to Juzhou with me, and I will show it to you." ”
"Wow, don't forget to take me with you when you leave." Wu Xiangyue said as she walked outside.
The elders of both families took their words as a joke and did not take them seriously. Seeing that the two of them were not unfamiliar after meeting, they still guessed like they were children. It seems that there is no problem with this family business, and they are naturally very happy.
Since the two young people are so close to each other, the Wu family treats Liang Yuesong as a quasi-son-in-law. The Wu family held a banquet, and Wu Daoshan personally accompanied Liang Yuesong and their grandchildren.
During the dinner, their topic began to chat with Liang Yuesong. Wu Daoshan first said: "The old man of Song'er has also seen it, this is indeed very attractive, a change in my Ming style, it is indeed not ordinary, I heard that it is very famous in the north and south of Zhili, and the famous Jinglun Pavilion in Nanjing is hidden here." It seems that Song'er will definitely win the Mid-Autumn Festival next year, and it can go further the year after! ”
Liang Yuesong's grandfather said proudly: "That's not it, now the store in Juzhou is also sticking to Song'er's light, and it has made a fortune." Song'er's monthly manuscript fee is tens of thousands of taels of silver, and his uncle and I can't compare with him. ”
"Writing so much money?" Wu Daoshan was surprised.
"Of course it is, that store and Song'er are divided into three or seven, and Song'er takes the lion's head, just like that, that store still has to be well stammered."
Next, Wu Daoshan praised Liang Yuesong again.
But Liang Yuesong's mind is not on this one. What he was thinking about was how to get them out of here as soon as possible, it was already the end of September, and the Yellow River might freeze in more than a month, and if he couldn't leave within half a month, it would be a little difficult to take a boat back to Juzhou.
