is the same as Zhuang Yuanlang: wearing saffron, riding a big horse, beating gongs and drums, and playing horses and parade through the streets.
At the beginning, Wang Shirong and others happily followed Wang Shihua's side, but as they walked, everyone was silent.
Wang Shihua did not have the honor of being the uncle of the Zhang family, his mind was in chaos, and he was at the mercy of others in a daze. Suddenly noticed something strange around him, and when he turned around, he saw that the four of them had solemn faces, their eyes were wandering, and he subconsciously asked, "Why don't you speak?" ”
"Alas~! Young master, if our Wang family also has such a scale, the old slave will be blinded when he dies. (The 'Wang family' in this book is a general term: it refers to the Wang Shihua family and its affiliates, not all of whom have the surname Wang.) The same is true of the 'Zhang family' and other families. "Four people, you look at me, I look at you, and in the end, the housekeeper Uncle Jiang leaned closer and whispered the answer in the hearts of the four of them. In the Wang family, no one dared to call Wang Shihua the second young master, and no one dared to call Wang Shirong the eldest young master in front of him, of course, he never called Wang Shirong brother, Wang Shirong didn't care, never called Wang Shihua brother, everyone just called him by his name so strangely.
Wang Shihua was taken aback, and looked carefully at both sides of the street, there were really many shops, people were surging, and they were thriving. Not to mention anything else, only a very few of these onlookers wore patched clothes, and they knew how amazing the wealth here was, and how rich and healthy the people were.
"Young master, forgive me for my small words, for the sake of the thousands of people in the Wang family, please marry the young lady of the Zhang family as the housewife, right?" The second dog looked around with great envy, bowed his head and begged quietly. The three-eyed cat on the side also nodded and said: "Young master, as long as you marry Miss Zhang's family as your mother, even if you fancy the county magistrate's daughter in the future, the little one will be snatched for you to be a little one." ”
Wang Shihua looked at them deeply and was silent.
"Shihua, more courageous than fighting, when have our Wang family children ever been afraid of others? Compared with the hearts of the people, the whole Xiangxi, who has the unity of our Wang family? Compared with the urgency of the territory, Zhangjiabao is the throat of Xiangxi, Zhangjiabao, but our Longtang Town has one foot in the three provinces, and if you want to enter Xiangxi from Zhangjiabao, you have to pass through Longtang Town. Although we share Longtang Town equally with the Tian family, we shouldn't be so poor. I don't think it's normal on weekdays, but now compared with the Zhang family, we are really fucking called Hanako......"
"Shirong, I know your temperament, who taught you this?" Wang Shihua stared at Wang Shirong with a gloomy face, who knows, Wang Shirong smiled without mind, and said: "Shihua, whether you believe it or not, this is what I felt just now." ”
Wang Shihua nodded with a heavy face, looked at the prosperity around him again, sighed, didn't speak, just took a deep breath, pinched the horse's belly, and the speed was a little faster.
However, Wang Shirong looked around with bad intentions, licked his lips, and sighed in a low voice: "If we can bring someone here to grab a handful, our Wang family will turn over." Alas~! It's a pity~! ”
An hour later, I came to the Zhang family compound.
From the outside, although the Zhangjia compound covers an area of more than ten acres, the house is not tall, but pays attention to the internal layout, especially the finesse, all show the simple style. Let Wang Shihua sigh again: This is the essence of a big family that has a long heritage: not outside, but inside.
"Uncle is here, set off firecrackers and open the door!"
The moment the crackling firecrackers sounded, the gate of Zhang's house slowly opened, and more than 20 women wore phoenix hairpins on their heads, wearing silk and satin, and the stars were holding the moon and embracing a middle-aged woman in her forties, slender and ruddy, standing at the door with a smile.
"Uncle, this is Miss's biological mother, Zhang Liu." The chief butler of the Zhang family on the left guided with a smile, and Uncle Jiang, the chief housekeeper of his own family on the right, hurriedly whispered: "Young master, you should kneel down on one knee and worship." ”
Family marriage is not child's play, all etiquette pays attention to details, if you make a joke, there is a suspicion of deliberately slapping your face. Therefore, the Wang family asked the old housekeeper to come to the front station, because they were afraid that Wang Shihua would be embarrassed because he was young and did not know complicated and cumbersome etiquette, so that the other party would look down on the Wang family.
Wang Shihua stepped forward quickly and knelt down on one knee: "Wang Shihua greets my aunt." ”
"Handsome and mighty. Good! Good! My girl has a good eye. "According to custom, you can only change your words after exchanging your birthday. At that time, no matter whether the other party is alive or dead, you have to marry someone, otherwise, you will get the notoriety of disliking the poor and loving the rich, and not knowing etiquette, and leaving a stench for three generations.
Zhang Liu became more satisfied with Wang Shihua the more he looked at it, and he couldn't stop smiling. Seeing the eldest woman like this, the people around her naturally didn't dare to show any displeasure, and stepped forward to show their goodwill.
Wang Shihua felt that his knees were about to break, but he still had to try to remember everyone's names and status as hard as possible to prepare for the future.
After some excitement, Wang Shihua was brought into the door.
The women chattered to the backyard, and after the housekeeper politely collected everyone's weapons, he took the two brothers Wang Shihua and Uncle Jiang and walked inside.
Walking through the promenade and through the rockery flower pond, a tall brick building stands in front of you.
But I saw a middle-aged man with a rich face, touching his big bald head and laughing.
"Uncle, this is the master's brother-in-law Zhang Wentian, the second master of the family, and the commander of the Loyal and Righteous Brigade, and several surrounding counties and cities are his territory." The chief butler paused slightly, and then added in a low voice: "Treat Miss as if she were her own." ”
Wang Shihua glanced at the housekeeper gratefully, and knelt down on one knee to Zhang Wentian, who walked in: "Shihua greets the second uncle." ”
"Get up, it's all your own people, why are you so polite. Come on, let me take a good look. After helping Wang Shihua up, Zhang Wentian looked Wang Shihua up and down carefully, but suddenly punched Wang Shihua in the right chest.
This punch is exquisite: if it hits the heart of the left chest, it is suspected of murder; But if you want to hit the right chest, it means that you are tempting. Wang Shihua had no choice but to send his body forward, and after being punched, his body leaned back, but his feet did not move.
"It's good to be able to take my punch and not fall down! Not bad! The girl finally chose a good man. ”
"Thanks to the second uncle's mercy and timely retraction of strength, otherwise, Shihua would not be able to block the second uncle's punch no matter what." It's as soft and weak as tickling.,It's embarrassing to brag about yourself.。
"Huh! Scold! Deal with it decently, and listen to the words, it seems that not only have you read books, but also seen the world, which is better than my two melon babies. Yes! I've passed this level, come with me to meet my eldest brother. Pulling Wang Shihua towards the gate, he slowed down his pace and threatened in a low voice: "Boy, this commander has always paid attention to courtesy before soldiers, but he can tell ugly words in front: My eldest brother and I have given birth to a litter of melon brains, just such a smart and filial baby, and now you are cheaper." In the future, if you kid dare to treat her badly, this commander will not agree in the first place. Of course, you have to be nice to her, that's not to say. Do you know (do you understand)? ”
"Yes! Shihua will definitely treat Cuiyun sincerely. ”
"How can you treat it sincerely? You must make offerings like bodhisattvas. ”
Wang Shihua was stunned for a moment, and quickly said yes.
Walking into the hall, I saw an old man about fifty years old, holding a delicate hookah, sitting on the Taishi chair, touching his goatee, and looking at Wang Shihua with a smile.
"Master, you want to call the shots for the little one!" Wang Shihua was just about to kneel down on one knee to worship, when an extremely desolate cry suddenly came from behind him.
Master Zhang's face tightened, his eyes flashed, and he was about to get angry, but as soon as he saw the comer, he immediately looked at Wang Shihua with tears and laughter. Zhang Wentian, who was sitting next to him, also looked at Wang Shihua with a strange expression, and laughed. Wang Shihua held his breath, but when he heard his brother behind him laugh, he couldn't help laughing-how could a wealthy family break in casually? Being able to break into here shows that the other party is not really crying out for injustice, but was instructed by someone to give Wang Shihua eye medicine.
Interestingly, everyone present understood this truth and had to cooperate.
"Shihua, this guy's name is Camel, and he has been the girl's guard since he was a child." Zhang Wentian took the initiative to explain, in fact, he told Wang Shihua: Boy, this is obviously Cuiyun coming to test you, so you can take it.
Wang Shihua had no choice but to give up his hand and nod with a wry smile.
"Ahem! Cough! Camel, what grievances do you have, tell me about it. ”
