Chapter 213: This is what it looks like at home
There are probably two things in the letter, one is about the big wedding, which means that he can't come in person, so he will let Mo Baoming act as the eldest brother, and the second thing is to come to Chuqiu to set up a business in order to see if he can infiltrate Yingtianfu in the future.
Judging from the tone of the letter, the old man of the Mo family was quite satisfied with his hairy son-in-law, and after the test last time, he also germinated the idea of expanding the trade route to the north.
After arranging Mo Baoming's rest, there were only the two of them and Zhang Wan'er left in the room, seeing that his son's expression was a little tired, Tang Zhang's face was loving, "I heard Xiangxue girl say that you are studying and on an errand now, and you can stay up until three and a half at night, how can you keep going like this?" Zhang Wan'er was still short of words, and looked at Fan Ming with a look of concern following Tang Zhang's words.
Fan Ming casually picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, "It's nothing, it's much easier than when I was doing the work." β
"This and that, your body is not made of iron." Fan Qin knew his son's temperament, he was born stubborn, and he carried everything by himself, and said distressedly: "From tonight, I will ask Wan'er to stew some Tongzi chicken soup for you every night, and give you a nourish for your brain and wake up." β
Hearing the boy chicken Fan Ming suddenly had a joke in his mind, when he received a foreigner, he served the dish of boy chicken, the foreigner asked what this dish was called, and the translator next to him explained seriously that this was a chicken that had no sex/life, and the strange expression on the foreigner's face almost didn't make the people around him laugh, "Mother, this boy chicken is not easy to find, you have to check it one by one to see if it is a real child." β
Zhang Wan'er sneered, Fan Qin glanced at him, and finally couldn't help laughing, "What nonsense, a reader has to look like a scholar." β
Fan Ming smiled, looking at Zhang Wan'er's smile and Fan Qin's relieved smile, he was satisfied at this moment, this is really like a family, what else in this world can compare to the joy of a family.
After a few more gossips, Tang Zhang's face became a little heavier, and after leaning out and looking outside the flower hall through the window, he sat down, "Wulang, that day, I went to the Guangji Temple outside the city with the Mo family lady to ask for a date, and the wedding date was also set, on the eighth day of the next month." βγ
Seeing the seriousness of the old lady's face, Fan Ming nodded, "Mother, I know all about this, what's wrong?" βγ
"This is your first time getting married, you have to sum it up, you can't be sloppy," Tang Zhang looked at Zhang Wan'er and turned his head and said, "Speaking of your age, the sooner the better." But it's a terrible rush. After all, your Mo family lady has not been married, and we can't use her money, so I wonder if I should borrow some from your Uncle Chen, and I should be in an emergency. βγ
Since beating his son into the county school, Fan Qin's family has raised his eyebrows in the village, and now he has moved into the city, completely out of that poor life, but now his son is about to get married, which makes him difficult, in his own hands except for the few dollars saved for his son in the past two years, there is no other source, marrying in the city This money is far from enough, although this daughter-in-law is rich, but after all, this is the old Fan family to marry, whether it is in face or heart, she can't get by.
He understands Fan Qin's mood very well, after all, they have lived together for two years, can Fan Ming still understand Fan Qin's thoughts? In fact, their thoughts are the same as those of millions of villagers in China, the marriage of their sons is a major event in a lifetime, and it is also an opportunity to support their own faΓ§ade.
Fan Ming originally thought about this matter and didn't let Fan Qin's worry about it, but if she directly said that she didn't worry about it, it would hurt her heart even more, so it was better to find Chen/Liang to borrow it according to what Fan Qin's said, make a show, and then return it to him, so that Fan Qin's wish could be fulfilled, and after understanding the reason, Fan Ming also had a way to deal with it in his heart, but in order not to worry Fan Qin's family, he didn't say much now, and nodded his head, "Isn't it just to marry a relative, my mother will do whatever she wants, I will listen to you!" β
Fan Qin's sigh of relief when he heard this, "You are now on an errand in the yamen." It is said that it should be done decently in the city, but our family is ...... Hey, it's useless to blame us for being old. I've wronged you".
"Mother, look where you go." Fan Qin's words were uncomfortable, but when he heard them, Fan Ming's ears were even more sad. In order to dilute the atmosphere so that the old lady would not be sad and self-reproachful, Fan Ming deliberately smiled and said: "You don't look at your son who is also a public man in the yamen now, you say that your family is shabby in front of others, and others still think you are showing off!" βγ
Fan Ming's words were brisk, and Fan Qin's family was also comfortable to hear, she never dared to think that her son could have such great achievements in the past, and now he can return to the yamen as an errand, which is much stronger than his father back then.
"I'll figure out a way to deal with the money, if it's really missing, I'll borrow it from Uncle Chen." , Fan Ming patted Fan Qin's hand and signaled her not to worry, and then remembered something again, and took out the five-yuan bill in his arms, "Don't worry about it, I have it!" This is the money that was collected today, mother, you take it first."
"Wuguan!" , Fan Qin's hand in handing over the money shook suddenly, "Wulang, this is not from the Mo family's lady, we can't take too much." βγ
"If it is issued from the yamen, you can rest assured that you can accept it", Fan Ming stuffed the money into Fan Qin's hand, and said with a smile: "In the future, I will leave two pieces of money per month for the family's weekday expenses, and the rest will be saved by your mother, and it is convenient to have a degree of support on weekdays." β
Fan Qin took a closer look at the money, then turned around and handed it to Zhang Wan'er, "Wan'er, you are so good to give birth to Wulang, and you will have to take care of this family in the future." β
"Hmm!" Zhang Wan'er responded in a low voice, carefully folded the banknotes, took out a silk cloth bag from her arms, wrapped the banknotes and put them back in, this docile posture made Fan Ming's heart move.
After finishing the business, Fan Qin's family suddenly relaxed, the expression on his face was also quite gratified, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Wulang, this wedding is your big event, and it is also a big event for our old Fan family, the family has to ask them to help pick up some, you take time to pick up your two sisters tomorrow, our family is in trouble, and it will be difficult for them." β
