Ni Yuanlu saw that it was just past noon, so a small door in a person's backyard walked out to a slightly larger courtyard, the small courtyard was very clean without other things, there were four doors on all sides, three through Ni Yuanlu's own backyard and his eldest mother-in-law and second father-in-law's house, and the other door led to the outside street, originally this small courtyard and the two houses were someone else's, Ni Yuanlu bought it and placed the elders on both sides, and this small courtyard became the public land of the three families, Ni Yuanlu's two wives could come here from the backyard to meet their parents, the two little elders can also go out or see their daughters from here,

Ni Yuanlu saw that the door leading to the street was hidden, and he didn't know if his second father-in-law was at home, so he stepped forward and knocked on the door, shouting while knocking, "Is Mr. Zhang at home?"

Speaking of Mr. Zhang, the title also has a bit of origin, when Ni Yuanlu's second wife Zhang married the father of the teacher who had a broken family to the Ni family, Mr. Zhang was very polite to Ni Yuanlu and called him an adult, Ni Yuanlu was also very polite in front of people to call his godfather, and later the two of them talked about their age when they were happy to drink together, Ni Yuanlu found out that his godfather was two months younger than himself, and he said that when the two of us have no one in the future, we should not be called adults and godfathers, which always makes people feel weird and can't get close. Just one is called Lao Ni and the other is called Lao Zhang, of course, they are all scholars who call each other Mr., and Mr. Zhang also expressed the same feeling at the time.

Later, when there was no one, the two called each other Mr. Ni Mr. Zhang, in the past, Mr. Ni came to Mr. Zhang to drink and chat, and today I called several times before I heard someone inside agree, and it took a while to come out and open the door, Ni Yuanlu thought that his Mr. Zhang's godfather was embarrassed to see himself when he quarreled with a woman, this Mr. Zhang used to teach private school outside, and lived in the employer's house often did not come back for several months, at the end of last year, Ni Yuanlu's eldest wife Wang said that his son was more than four years old and almost five years old, should find someone to teach him to read and write, Ni Yuanlu and his two wives decided to let his godfather Mr. Zhang teach his son for him.

Mr. Zhang is less than forty this year like Ni Yuanlu, and he can pretend to be a handsome descendant after a little cleaning and washing, just because he is too young because he is too young, he has a mustache on his chin and looks older, seeing Ni Yuanlu knocking on the door, Mr. Zhang was a little flustered, and after opening the door, he saw that only Ni Yuanlu came alone and seemed to be relieved, and hurriedly invited Ni Yuanlu to sit inside, the house where Mr. Zhang lives is the same as Wang's mother, it is a horizontal and three-room collusion pattern, a bedroom, a study or a welcome room plus a kitchen, Mr. Zhang's study is in the middle of the room, Ni Yuanlu goes directly into the middle door every time he comes, and sees that the ground, tables, chairs, and bookshelves are very clean, Ni Yuanlu nodded again and again to express satisfaction,

After Mr. Zhang brought the tea, Ni Yuanlu took it and said: "The house and the courtyard outside are still clean, which means that the two who are in charge of cleaning are quite diligent, but I don't know what their attitude is towards you, if they are a little rude in their words, you can just say that I will change people,"

Mr. Zhang opened his mouth and didn't speak, seeing his desire to speak and endure Ni Yuanlu asked, "Are they really having a bad attitude?"

The person Ni Yuanlu asked was a man and a woman in his family, and they usually didn't have much work to do, so let them close the door, and let them be responsible for cleaning Mr. Zhang's house and the courtyard outside, these two people are husband and wife who have a place to live outside, and they should be very satisfied with the pay for coming and leaving every morning and evening, and now it seems that the two of them are not doing well enough, Ni Yuanlu is a little angry,

Mr. Zhang thought for a while and said, "You may not know, the two who are responsible for cleaning the yard and the house will leave at the end of the year, let me tell you that they will not come again this year, it is said that they are outsiders who are going back to their hometown,"

Ni Yuanlu asked: "Why don't I know about such things, so you cleaned the courtyard outside and the house inside,"

Mr. Zhang hesitated for a moment and said, "I cleaned the yard, and the house was done by other people, not me,"

Ni Yuanlu looked around and smiled: "I heard that there is a legend, that there is a single person who bought a New Year's painting with a fairy on it, and later the fairy in the painting came down to cook for him and wash and clean the house while he was not paying attention, you don't seem to have any fairy paintings here,"

Mr. Zhang coughed and said, "Do you already know anything when you came today?"

Ni Yuanlu nodded and said: "Yes, I do know some things between you and my mother-in-law, as the saying goes, family and everything is prosperous, see if you can take the initiative, if you have a misunderstanding, you don't lose face if you take the initiative,"

Mr. Zhang's face turned red when he heard this, and he thought about it and said: "There is no misunderstanding between us, everyone has that meaning, there is no initiative or not, we are not old and there is no loss of face, the only thing I am worried about is that it will affect you,"

Ni Yuanlu didn't understand it when she heard this, what does it mean, do you want to quarrel and relieve your boredom when you are bored, and besides, you only came back for the New Year and lived in the old club's house a while ago, why did you think about finding someone to quarrel with when you came back?

Ni Yuanlu said: "Even if you are both young and angry, you have to restrain yourself, no matter who is right or wrong, what are you fighting with her as a woman, no matter what you say, you are also elders, you quarrel with my two wives and have a pimple in their hearts, why don't you want to find a way to hook it up,"

Mr. Zhang was a little puzzled at this moment, he looked at Ni Yuanlu carefully and asked, "Do you know what happened between us?"

Ni Yuanlu said in his heart What can happen if there is no injustice in the past and no hatred today, can you still use knives against each other, or you misunderstood the meaning of that Xiaohong, he thought for a while and asked softly: "Aren't you quarreling?"

Mr. Zhang was stunned for a moment and then laughed and said: "My room is cleaned by her, how can we quarrel, let me tell you today, I want to marry her as my wife, I already told my daughter a few days ago, she didn't tell you,"

This time it was Ni Yuanlu's turn to be shocked, it turned out that the two little elders quarreled because of some trivial things, and said in his heart that he still wanted to teach another grandson, and if he quarreled, he might hate others and be angry, now it seems that he misunderstood, but after thinking about it, it is right, these two people are only in their thirties, they have two wives and others are alone, everyone has the right to pursue happiness, as for whether these two people will affect themselves if they get married, Ni Yuanlu believes that even if there is an impact, it will not be much, at most two sentences are harmless to be ridiculed,

Thinking about this, Ni Yuanlu became interested, and asked with a smile: "I really can't see that you usually have this hand honestly, when did you start to make up your mind, marry a daughter and marry a mother-in-law, you really don't suffer,"

Mr. Zhang "hehe" laughed twice and then said: "When I first came, because I didn't see each other a few times, and my parents, wife and children just died, I didn't have that thought, at the end of last year, you went back to your hometown, and the young couple who were responsible for cleaning the house also left, and I did it myself when I closed the courtyard door to buy things, although my daughter said that I could call someone from your house to help, but every time someone came, I said that I didn't need them to do it all, and that day she next door wanted to buy things and couldn't call anyone, so she took the initiative to knock on my door and let me call someone for her, I said that I would help her with everything without disturbing others,"

Ni Yuanlu suddenly realized and said: "It turns out that this is the case, you sent away all the subordinates who were arranged to help, so my mother-in-law has no choice but to ask for your door, it seems that you have already planned to see the color,"

Mr. Zhang said: "It's not a sight, I have met a few times by chance in the past few years, and I think it's okay, and she died of her husband, I died of my parents, wife and children, and I can't do it for three years, we are all scholars, don't be rude, don't say anything, you love me, and there is no such thing as taking advantage of people's danger, I think the little girl would not marry you if it wasn't for that explosion, so this is a fate, don't you say it,"

Ni Yuanlu nodded and said: "I understand that you have already planned, even if someone opposes you, you won't care so much, if I am you, if your daughter opposes it, get up and leave, your own life must be in your own hands, now since I have said it, I will make a statement, I agree to marry in three days after your affairs, just move to one place, and I will find a family to take care of you in the other place, what do you think?"

Mr. Zhang was overjoyed and said, "Thank you very much,"

Ni Yuanlu got up and left when he saw that he didn't have anything to say, and just took two steps and suddenly turned around and asked, "It turns out that you didn't deliberately drive those two couples away, right?"

Mr. Zhang said: "How could I do such a malicious thing, it's just that they want to see you before leaving, saying that if you keep them, they can not leave, I just said that you are very busy and have no time to see them, if you want to find something else, you can go to find it, if you think it is good here, you can come back before the fifteenth day of the first month,"

Ni Yuanlu nodded and returned the same way, and said in his heart that this Mr. Zhang's godfather is also a scheming person, it seems that he will have to guard against him in the future, everyone is about the same age, and it is not clear who died in front of whom, and now his son calls them grandparents, and when these two grandparents give birth to children, who are they facing in their hearts, that is another matter, if they have a child in a few years after they get married, they should really close the door and live separately.

After coming back, I heard that the Wang family had returned from Princess Ningde's mansion, and the heart said that Wang's mother was a woman, and she would help this Mr. Zhang's godfather to propose a marriage to the end of her own good deeds, and there were thousands of sons-in-law in the world, and she helped her father-in-law to propose marriage for her mother-in-law in front of her wife, I am afraid that even if she is not the first one, there will never be many.

After entering Wang's house, he saw that Wang was looking outside and thinking something, Ni Yuanlu said, "What is Madame thinking?"

Wang said: "I don't know what to do if there is something in my heart,"

Ni Yuanlu asked, "Is it your mother and Mr. Zhang?"

Wang asked in surprise: "Master, you already know, what do you think?"

Ni Yuanlu said: "Both of them are single, what do you want me to do,"

Wang shook his head and said: "I heard Princess Ningde say that the court's officials are powerful, and whoever violates the common etiquette a little will impeach you, the lord had better ask other people if there is any obstruction, in fact, my mother has long been interesting to Mr. Zhang, I heard her say a few times last year that Mr. Zhang is as knowledgeable as my father,"
