Although he had just received a reward of twenty taels of silver, the old lady casually rewarded him with two taels of silver, and the scalper was a little painful to say, so he could only ask Erniang to take the tray of the reward and get into the car, and he and the old man led the mule cart and followed Professor Hu and left.

If you want to say that the door of your uncle's house, I am afraid that I will not go wrong if I close my eyes, but Professor Hu has to lead the way diligently when he gets a reward, but he can't refute the face of others, who knows how far he went, and he heard Erniang in the car shouting: "My son, where did this pearl hairpin come from?" ”

Just as the scalper was about to speak, Professor Hu took the first step, turned around and crossed his hands as he walked: "Oops! I forgot about this matter, Hu Mou wanted to congratulate the second lady, this pearl hairpin is the little lady of the Wan family. ”

Yao Erniang in the car was naturally surprised when she heard this, and hurriedly asked: "Professor Hu, why is this little lady's hairpin here?" ”

Professor Hu laughed and said that Wan Chunnu blushed and stuffed the bead hairpin into the scalper's tray, and said with a smile: "Hu Mou thinks about it, Wan Xiaoniang must have secretly felt feelings in her heart because the young master rescued her twice, this is a great joy." ”

Yao Erniang listened, her face also smiled, and she looked at her son and said with a smug face: "Although my son is not handsome, this body still has courage, knowledge, and knowledge, which is not comparable to anyone's little man, and it is also appropriate to provoke the love of the lady." That's right! Professor Hu, I don't know how old Wan Jianiang is now, is it okay? ”

Professor Hu agreed: "Hu asked in private, and he will be sixteen in two months, and the craftsmanship of female red embroidery is also known in Hangzhou." But there are some twists and turns in the marriage, originally said that when he was fourteen years old, he promised the eldest son of a salt merchant in Hangzhou, but who knew that he was robbed of his son-in-law by the general sentence of the Mingzhou Mansion, and the salt merchant did not dare to offend the official family, so he said that he wanted to take Wan Xiaoniang as a concubine, and Master Wan was not angry, so he retired from this family business, and then brought her sister and brother to Huangzhou. This 10,000 little lady is in the family for four, but it is a partial aunt out of the house, there is a deceased eldest brother, second sister and third sister have all been out of the cabinet, and there is an old 50,000 gold treasure left below. ”

Seeing that Professor Hu answered so carefully, he also saw that he had a good intention, the scalper led the mule and walked with his head bored, but the old man came up and put his arm on his shoulder and asked with a smile: "What?" Do you really like someone else's daughter? What about your cousin? ”

"Daddy!" The scalper snorted, but he couldn't speak, he couldn't say that he didn't look down on such a lie, and he still remembered the red beans on the white peak...... As for the cousin, it can't be easily shirked.

"Hey, hey! Good boy, he is so big and has a careful thought! The old man shook his head, looked at Erniang, who was talking to Professor Hu hotly, patted his son on the shoulder who was as tall as himself, and said: "Don't worry, your mother is in charge, and besides, you have accepted all the love tokens of other people's little mothers, and you can't deny them, but the little lady is afraid that she can't be a wife, and she doesn't worry about anything else." ”

The scalper was taken aback when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Why can't you be a wife?" ”

The old man was happy, stretched out his hand and patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Hey! Sure enough, it was heart-wrenching! It's not simple, that Wan Xiaoniang has quit the marriage, and she has been tied up twice by thieves, and she is a concubine. Besides, your uncle's door is higher, of course, your cousin is bigger, and Wan Xiaoniang is smaller. ”

"Oh! I see! Isn't it okay for me to marry and take a concubine again? The scalper was stunned when he heard this, but he was happy again, but when he thought of something, he asked, "Will my father take a concubine in the future?" ”

The old man was also stunned when he heard this, but he quietly glanced behind him again, and then lowered his voice and said: "I want to think about it, but your mother's high stairs don't say it, and she gave birth to you again, and she doesn't make seven mistakes, I'm afraid it's hopeless!" ”

Seeing that his son looked like he didn't understand, the old man sighed and said softly: "Your mother has earned her life in order to give birth to you, and she has been pregnant for nine months, and she has stayed up for a day and a night on the delivery bed, and her body is very weak after giving birth to you, so she has not added another brother or sister to you over the years." Your mother persuaded her to let her father take another concubine, but her father always used money to redeem the ancestral property to shirk it, but he couldn't bear your mother's suffering. Now that you have experienced life and death, you should be sensible, don't mention this matter easily in the future, understand? ”

The scalper nodded hurriedly, only to know that there was such an inside story, and turned his head to look at Yao Erniang, who was smiling like a flower and talking and laughing with Professor Hu, and couldn't help but feel a little more moved.

There were words all the way, but it was not long, and after a while, I came to my uncle's house, and saw that there were two archers in soap suits and a strong man in fast clothes on duty at the main entrance.

He was still far away, and when he heard the sound of a mule cart, he immediately picked up a lantern and came out to look, but said, "It's Hu Abshi?" ”

"Exactly!" Professor Hu walked a few steps forward quickly, and when he saw this person clearly, he was surprised: "Oops! It was Ma Bantou who came to guard in person? Didn't you just transfer back from Chengdu Mansion yesterday, but you didn't rest at home for a few more days? ”

Seeing Professor Hu asking like this, Ma Bantou replied with an open voice: "The street is not quiet, and it is already a great kindness for adults not to sin, if you don't have some lethal strength these days, how can you be worthy of the compassion of the officials, and the second lady is escorting the return of the second lady?" ”

Professor Hu nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes!" Quickly tell the people in the house to open the side door and take the mule cart in. ”

Immediately, the head of the horse team made the archer to call, and then he and Professor Hu turned to greet Erniang, Erniang got off the mule cart and stood with the old man to see that the head of the horse class came but smiled familiarly: "Oops! But it's my uncle here? When I returned to Huangzhou, I hadn't seen him for some days. Come on, I'll see Uncle Ma soon. ”

The old man on the side also said: "Okay, you old brother, you went back to Huangzhou but didn't come to look for me to eat and drink, what is the reason?" Cow come and kowtow, this is the big bowl I often talk to you...... Hehe! Hurry up and call Uncle Ma, this guy is the first fast knife in our Huangzhou Mansion, the head of the Ma fast class. ”

Before the scalper could understand, he was pulled over by the old man and knelt on his head, and was stopped by Ma Bantou after bowing, and he heard his deep voice in his ear and said: "Ah! This is the calf, but he has returned from school? ”

The old man laughed and said: "Not only did I return from school, I went to Huanghuadang again yesterday, and I turned back safely today, how is my brother?" ”

In the past, Huang Laoqi made the scalper with a traveling Taoist priest to do Taoist things, Ma Bantou naturally knew, so he asked, after listening to the old man say this, Ma Bantou used his hands to touch the muscles and bones of the scalper, but the more he touched the more happy, and said: "Good muscles and bones, good body, is actually a good material for practicing martial arts, and the muscles of the whole body are all open?" ”

The old man was proud, but interrupted him: "Not only is it a good material for practicing martial arts, but also a seed for reading, I just passed the examination school of Zhang Sizhi's master in Hongguan two days ago, and was accepted by the old master as a closed disciple, and I will hold an apprenticeship banquet on the sixth day of the first month of next month!" ”

When Ma Bantou heard this, he immediately lowered his voice and smiled: "Ah! Good! It's a great joy! Hahaha! ”
