Chapter 293: A Little Thing in the Backyard
Returning to Ye County from Ping'en County, the New Year has passed, and it is already the second year of the first peace.
Wang Lei handled the affairs in the army, and as soon as he stepped into the gate with his front foot, the little girl Guo Yu hurriedly greeted him, with a sweet smile on his face, and said, "Son, the old man, please go for a trip." ”
"Okay, I'll go!"
Wang Lei nodded and went straight to the backyard where the old man lived.
When I came to the room, the old man was reading a book.
Wang Lei smiled and said, "Old man, I'm back." ”
"Sit!"
The old man's face was ruddy and in good spirits. When he was in Ye County, the old man was energetic, but his body was not good, he was very thin, which made people feel like the sunset. After going to Wuji County, he slowly recuperated, his body became more and more tough, and the old man often practiced martial arts, and his health was very good. Up to now, it has changed drastically from before.
The old man put down the bamboo slips and said, "I came to you to discuss the marriage." ”
Wang Lei was very surprised and asked, "Is it so urgent?" ”
The old man immediately put on a straight face and said angrily: "The old man is a man of his age, and he is a person who has half his body in the ground, of course he is in a hurry." I'm in a hurry, but your subordinates are not, they don't let the old man hold his great-grandson. ”
"What's going on?"
Wang Lei was confused, how did the marriage get involved with the officials?
The old man looked vicious and said, "The old man and Mrs. Han discussed the matter of you and Mengyu getting married, and the time is set for the fifth day of the third month, which is a good day." The news was not intended to be hidden, and it quickly spread. After Tian Feng's kid heard this, he ran to say that Han Fu died, and Mengyu had to keep filial piety for three years. ”
"It's been three years, and the old man doesn't know if he can live for another three years."
"According to Tian Feng, Mengyu can't marry during this period, and he can't marry you until the three-year period expires. Tell me, it's just a dead person, how normal things are, can you use it? ”
"If the old man dies one day, what should you do, don't delay."
The old man spat and kept scolding Tian Feng, with an expression of wanting to swallow Tian Fengsheng.
After Wang Lei listened, he finally figured out the whole story.
After Han Fu died, Han Mengyu should keep filial piety for three years, of course, many people don't necessarily keep filial piety for three years, just mean it. Wang Lei understood the reason why Tian Feng put it forward, Wang Lei is a pastor in Jizhou, with a prominent official position, if he keeps filial piety for three years, he can fight for a good reputation. In addition, postponing the marriage can also allow Wang Lei to avoid the attack of public opinion, so as not to be attacked by Wang Lei.
Wang Lei thought for a while and said, "Old man, I'm afraid this thing is not easy to do." Han Fu has just passed away, and getting married at this time will have a certain impact on Mengyu and me. ”
"What then? As soon as the old man is old, he wants to see you get married. ”
The old man had a straight face, looking unhappy.
Wang Lei hurriedly accompanied the smiling face, held the old man's thin hand, and said flatteringly: "The old man is in good health, and there is no problem in living for another ten or twenty years, three years, it will be over in a flash." ”
The old man snorted and said, "I'm not an old monster, what are you doing living for so long?" ”
Wang Lei said: "People often say that there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure. You live a long life, so that you can always remind me so that I don't go the wrong way. With you, I feel at ease. ”
"Am I of that much use?" The old man stroked his beard, quite complacent.
Wang Lei said affirmatively: "Yes, of course!" ”
The old man smiled embarrassedly, thought about it, and said, "Okay, when you get married, you can do it yourself." I can drag it out here, but Mrs. Han is different. Han Fu died, and Mrs. Han was worried that you would turn your face and not recognize anyone, and she was eager to marry her daughter to you. Tian Feng's kid stood up to obstruct it, and Mrs. Han was very dissatisfied. ”
Wang Lei patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, I will solve it." ”
The old man nodded and let Wang Lei leave.
Wang Lei asked the old man to pay attention to his body again, and then turned around and said goodbye. As soon as he walked to the door, the old man suddenly said, "Tiger Head, have you been free lately?" ”
"Yes, what's the matter with you?" Wang Lei replied.
In fact, the war in Jizhou has just ended, there are a lot of things, and there are still a lot of things to deal with, but the old man spoke, Wang Lei couldn't sweep the old man's interest anyway.
The old man said, "Get ready, and go out with me in a month." ”
"Good!"
Wang Lei nodded, turned around and left.
One month is enough time for Wang Lei to arrange things in Jizhou. After leaving the courtyard, Wang Lei walked towards the courtyard where the Han family lived. When he came to the courtyard, Wang Lei asked the attendant to report and saw Han in the courtyard. Compared with when Wang Lei left Ye County with the army, Han Shiqing was much less, and there was worry in his eyes.
"Sit!"
As soon as Han waved his hand, Wang Lei sat down.
Wang Lei said: "Madam, I heard the old man say that the marriage matter ......."
Han was anxious in his heart and interrupted: "Could it be that you don't plan to get married?" The Han family was like a frightened bird, worried that after Wang Lei stabilized the power in his hands, he kicked their mother away with one kick.
Wang Lei shook his head and said: "I will never regret what I said." I promised my father-in-law to take care of you, and I will be responsible to the end. I keep Chubby's affair, Mengyu's marriage with me, and taking care of you in my heart. In principle, I agree with Mr. Tian's suggestion, and three years of filial piety will pass in a flash. Half a year has passed since the death of my father-in-law, and the rest of the time is not long. ”
Han Shi was not at ease and said, "What if, you have another woman?" ”
Wang Lei replied: "Madame is not at ease, you can get engaged first." Nominally, Mengyu is already married to me and appears as my wife. At the end of the three-year filial piety period, I will make up the wedding, what do you think? ”
"Mother, I believe him."
A crisp and pleasant sound came from the room.
Han Mengyu Shi Ran walked out, she also lost a lot of weight, and when she looked at Wang Lei, her eyes were firm.
Han said: "Dead girl, don't interrupt when my mother speaks." ”
Han Mengyu insisted: "Mother, I will decide my marriage." ”
"You ......" Han Shi stretched out his hand and pointed at Han Mengyu, trembling with anger. In the end, Han glanced at Wang Lei and said helplessly: "I hope you don't live up to Yu'er and keep filial piety for three years, I agree." ”
"Thank you, ma'am!"
Wang Lei thanked him, and Han went back to the house, leaving Wang Lei and Han Mengyu.
"Let's go for a walk!"
Wang Lei took Han Mengyu's hand and walked out of the courtyard together. Wang Lei saw that Han Mengyu was not in high spirits, his mind changed, and he said: "A month later, the old man wants me to accompany him out for a trip, and when the time comes, you and I will go for a walk." ”
"Really?" A touch of joy appeared on Han Mengyu's face.
After Han Fu's death, Han Mengyu has been in the house and has not lived comfortably. It is precisely because of this that Wang Lei moved his mind. Wang Lei clenched Han Mengyu's hand, nodded and said, "When the time comes, I'll take you for a walk." ”
"Uh-huh!!"
Han Mengyu nodded, with a smile on her face.
