Chapter 36: The Matchmaker! Lots of matchmakers!
Tang Que slept very late that night, and after sending away the embarrassed villagers, Tang Que, who was originally very tired, did not sleep, but was forced by Tang Tuo, who was full of red face, to burn paper and incense in front of the ancestral tablet.
It used to be "Little Tang", and then it was "Old Tang", but just tonight, every villager called Tang Shu "old brother" when he left, when Tang Que looked at the silent father who knelt in front of the ancestral tablet and cried silently, he finally understood how much sadness and pride were contained behind this small change in title.
And this further stimulated Tang Que, whether it was for himself or his family, whether it was for food and clothing to survive or to live with more dignity and dignity, he must continue to work hard, work harder.
…………………………………………
Because of the lack of contact with the people in the village, the news reached the poisonous widow Zhuangzi more slowly, and their master and servant only learned the news that Tang Que was going to the county school the next morning.
At that time, the orchid grass was representing the lady urging the villagers to prepare for spring planting, and the plan of the year lies in the spring, which is really sloppy.
The bankers have gone home years ago, fifteen years later, this is just after the first arrival, the villagers who have not seen for a long time are gathered in a pile, while packing up the farm tools while talking noisily, and so after the orchid grass arrives, the already lively scene is even more noisy, it is still Pang San to beat the head, the villagers are like playing chicken blood with a red face and said meat words, this Lan sister is too rare, do not dare to do it, eat tofu in the mouth and have a dry addiction.
Lancao has also been practiced for a long time, in addition to being as docile as the little white rabbit in front of Tang Que, who really likes it, it is another appearance in front of the villagers, she has seen a lot of such scenes, than bickering! Who is afraid of whom? After a long time, she also knew that the villagers from the mountains were all mellow people, even if their mouths were smooth, their hands were very regular. And the more these people scolded them, the more energetic they became.
After the two sides fought back and forth, causing the villagers to laugh contentedly, this annual routine meeting ceremony was over. Then Lan Cao'er urged them to prepare farm tools while listening to their gossip.
I don't know if it was the Zhuang Ke who just came yesterday who heard about Tang Que, and said it casually with admiration, he didn't care about it, but it made Sister Lan, who was originally smiling with a smile on her face, suddenly change her face, threw the long hoe she was thinking about in her hand, turned around and ran towards the second courtyard.
The second entered the courtyard, the poisonous widow was in the study with her original bookkeeping method to calculate the allocation of seeds and large livestock, and after the blue grass that trotted all the way said about Tang Que, the poisonous widow was stunned, and said after a while, "Go, tell the porter Wang Laosan, let him go to the village to inquire about the matter."
When Lancao came back after informing Wang Laosan, the expression on the poisonous widow's face had regained its calmness, and her subordinates were still making calculations as usual.
"Madame, he'...... You're leaving, you ......."
"Let's go, isn't that what I expected?" , The poisonous widow still didn't look up, "The truth has told you, why are you panicking now?" ”。
Although the matter of Tang Que leaving has been discussed for a long time, Lan Cao'er is still a little panicked when she thinks that Tang Que is about to leave and it will be difficult to see each other in the future...... When she thought of this in her heart, Lancao didn't have the heart to speak, so she reflexively found a random stool and sat down, stunned.
For a while, the master and servant in the study were silent, only the monotonous sound of the abacus crackled. This silence lasted until Wang Laosan returned.
"The Tang account room is indeed going to the county school", this is the first thing Wang Laosan said after the panting Wang Laosan came in, "Now the whole village is talking about this matter, I heard that the account office Xian'er showed his face in front of the county order yesterday, and the county commander personally asked him to go to the county school, saying that he would leave in the next two days." The day is very strange, I didn't feel anything when I saw Tang's account room every day before, I didn't expect him to have such a great ability? ”。
After confirming the news that Tang Que was leaving, the poisonous widow and Lan Cao exchanged a wordless look, "What other news?" ”。
"Early this morning, the Tang account room and his family went to the ancestral grave to burn paper, and they haven't come back yet. There are also just heard that one is that the Chen family brought the big six gift boxes to the Tang account room today......".
"The Chen family?"
"Well, it's the Chen family in the east of the village, the one who fought with the Tang account house family because of the paddy field in the summer, and they were afraid that the Tang account house would join them in front of the county lord," Wang Laosan said, schadenfreude and smiled.
"Well, got it, you go on"
"Yes, there is another thing that says that the matchmakers in several nearby villages are busy today, and they are running to the Tang account room one by one, and there are more than a dozen handkerchiefs from each woman's house in their waists, all of which are for the Tang account room. Listening to the mother-in-law in the village, Wang Chang said that the Niu Cai family in the neighboring village let go, in addition to the conventional dowry, his Niu family is willing to build a new set of three-in-two houses, as long as the Tang family nods, they can build it immediately, when the house will be built and when they will get married. and Tang Que's expenses in the county school should also be reduced, and if he goes to the state school in the future, he should also ......."
Wang Laosan was talking about this excitedly, but his words were interrupted by the poisonous widow, "Okay, don't say it, you can go."
Lancao couldn't sit still when Wang Laosan talked about the matchmaker, and she was even more anxious after hearing Niu Caidong's matter, and after Wang Laosan bypassed the wall, she couldn't help it anymore, and rushed to the bookcase in three or two steps after getting up, "Madam, Niu Caidong ......."
"I've seen cow orchids, and they don't even look half as good as you. Three-in-two house! Snort, Tang Cheng is a greedy person? After a moment of silence, she suddenly raised her head and waved her hand, "Don't talk about Lancao, don't worry about the things in Zhuangzi, let's go and pack up your clothes."
