Early the next morning, the gate of the Liu family was kicked open by several fierce men brought by the Chen family to Wang'er. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info got the master's order, so naturally he had to come early in the morning to collect the accounts.

Poor Liu Dahong was beaten half to death, and he didn't pay a penny for the decoction, and he was still so frightened early in the morning. On the one hand, he asked the Zhang family of the Hun family to hurry up to the workshop and call two intimate people to go to the Ning family to spread the word, no matter what, today must first give a hundred Wen Ding gifts. While struggling to get up by himself, he went out to deal with Lai Wang'er and his gang.

Liu Qingsi had already dissipated all his resentment towards his father, so he naturally obediently stayed by his father's side to serve, fearing that he would be hurt again.

The craftsmen ran to the umbrella shop, and the umbrella shop gate had just opened.

They swarmed in, so frightened that Uncle Zhang didn't know what to do, and only after asking did he understand that he was looking for the owner. Just as he was about to say that the owner hadn't come yet, he saw Ning Erlang bouncing like the silly boy who was beaten by the chartered wife in the pigpen walled city, washing his hair with a bare buttock, humming a song all the way.

A few craftsmen didn't care about politeness, and rushed out of the door to surround Ning Ze.

Ning Ze looked at them with a confused expression, one of them was the one who pretended to be a guest to ask about firecrackers that day, and he still recognized it. I didn't panic in my heart, but asked with a smile: "Early in the morning, did you eat the artillery battle for breakfast?" ”

"Oh Erlang, you're still impatient to joke at this time, and it's important to save people quickly!"

"What's wrong again?"

"Yesterday, our shopkeeper said that he went to Chen's house to withdraw from his relatives, and he was beaten up when he came back. Early this morning, his family brought a group of thugs to surround the shopkeeper's house, saying that he was asking for debts. The shopkeeper let us come to you quickly, and in any case, I will give you the 100 yuan of money that I said today! ”

Ning Ze couldn't cry or laugh, anyway, he wasn't beaten himself, so he grinded his teeth: "Then, didn't your shopkeeper order the whole ceremony or something, and happily accept the money?" ”

"It's all burning eyebrows, and what kind of bird ritual is it? Erlang, hurry up, I'm going to die in a while! "They are just craftsmen, how can they know the two ways? Just ask for money.

Ning Ze really didn't have any money at this time, so he placed an order for raw materials from three state capitals, and only one or twenty yuan was turned over in the account. But now it's a big deal for Liu Qingsi's family, how can he ignore it? I remembered that there were more than 100 pieces by my mother's side, which were assigned at the beginning, and they could be used for emergency relief at this time.

"Okay, okay, you guys wait, I'll go back and get the money."

Li had already gotten up and was working with his sister-in-law to clean the yard. Seeing his son go and return, he was about to ask a question. Ning Ze had already smiled and said that he wanted money.

When Li Shi heard this, he hurriedly went back to the room to get the pass and came out, and earnestly instructed: "My son will take it quickly, so that your father-in-law will not suffer again." Although he can't speak, he is always Qing'er's father, and he can't gloat over and snub others. ”

In fact, Ning Ze really has this heart, let Liu Fatzi suffer again, in order to punish him for being stingy and confused. But since he has been told by his mother, it's right to think about it, no matter how much he hates it, he will almost be his father-in-law. For Liu Qingsi, why bother with him.

Hurrying back to the store, their necks stretched. Ning Ze hurriedly handed over the money to them and watched them enter the Liu family・・・・・・

A small turmoil with afterglow finally disappeared, August twenty-eight, is the day to ask Mrs. Liu to be optimistic, the Ning family specially set up a banquet in the best Kuiyuan Pavilion in the county, as a feast for the two families.

Kuiyuan Pavilion is a place where the talents who have won the township examination to celebrate their fame, and the master master in the hall is well-known for his carp baked noodles. The white strip Zhang in the waves didn't wait for Ning Ze to speak, and sent forty big carps of eight catties in one go, seeing Liu Dahong dumbfounded, he suddenly became greedy, not to say that he couldn't use these many fish for a banquet, so he got twenty of them home first, and waited for the future to slowly entertain his uncle.

Ning Ze was so angry with him that Zhang didn't say anything, this man had already thrown his face on the street. But he couldn't stop Liu Dahong's greed that if he didn't take advantage of it, he would suffer a loss.

On that day, the Ning family naturally invited the neighbors to be close by, and Ning Ze invited Zhang Shun and a group of boatmen to come, and it was Uncle Zhang and the apprentices in the shop. The guests of the Liu family also came to two or three tables.

Under the guidance of the part-time master of ceremonies of Mrs. Liu, Liu Dahong was finally glared at by Zhang, sat on the upper seat seriously, bowed to Ning Ze, and loudly announced that from now on, the two families of Ning and Liu will be in-laws.

Zhang Shun and others took the lead in applauding, and the guests raised their glasses to celebrate.

This banquet, of course, is not for men and women. Li and Zhang went to the small room to entertain the ladies. The Zhang family is much smaller than the Li family, so I respectfully invite the Li family to sit in the chief position and accompany him on the side. The two in-laws are kind and harmonious people, who have lived in the same county for many years, and they have met each other sooner or later, and the natural atmosphere is harmonious. constantly praise each other's children for being good. In addition, the guests echoed one after another, speaking of Liu Qingsi's beautiful wisdom, virtuous and virtuous, it was one in a million. Ning Ze is talented, shrewd and capable, not much worse than those talented people.

However, according to the rules, the engagement does not necessarily have to be a banquet, and even if it is, the woman will never be able to participate.

Therefore, Li couldn't help but feel a little regretful that he couldn't meet his future daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Liu was very interested and said with a smile: "The old lady wants to see her future daughter-in-law, so why not?" Just wait for the next day to find a quiet place, put down the refreshments, and invite the in-laws to bring Qingsi over to eat tea. Two or three people from my own house are accompanied, and they are not noisy and more affectionate.

Old Mrs. Li nodded again and again, and turned to look at Zhang earnestly. Zhang's heart was happy, how could there be no reason not to agree, and promised to take his daughter to the county Guanyin Nunnery the next day, one to worship the Buddha, and the other to meet the future mother-in-law.

Liu Qingsi was alone at home, sleepwalking for a whole day, thinking about the grand occasion of the banquet for a while, imagining the appearance of Ning Ze visiting his father for a while, and worrying most about whether the relationship between his mother and future mother-in-law was harmonious. It was as if she could hear a burst of laughter, imagining that the guests wished her and Ning Zelang their enthusiasm for their talents.

After eating and dispersing in the evening, Liu Dahong couldn't help but eat slippery because he was setting up wine at home, and the Ning family paid for it, so he let a few craftsmen come back crookedly, and threw him on the bed to sleep with a loud noise. The mother, Zhang, was full of joy and pulled her daughter to say something considerate.

"Your mother-in-law is very kind and very good with each other. The Ning family has really done enough work today, you have a life to rely on, and your mother is very happy for you! After that, he hugged Liu Qingsi, endless caresses.

Liu Qingsi snuggled in her mother's arms, enjoying the happiness that she had been terrified in the past year. I only heard Zhang's say again: "At today's banquet, your mother-in-law said that it was a pity that you didn't go and didn't see each other." My mother has promised, tomorrow our mother and daughter will go to Guanyin Hall to pay homage, and you will go to see her. Be sure not to disappoint! ”

Liu Qingsi was slightly scared, but more happy and expectant, and nodded in a low voice in agreement. After sending his mother away, he took out his favorite clothes and chose them one by one. I'm thinking about dressing up tomorrow. How can I make Ning Ze's mother happy.

Mrs. Ning was actually very nervous, and the first daughter-in-law of the Ning family made her feel palpitations. Although I absolutely believe in the vision of the second son, I have also inquired about Liu Qingsi's character. But because I was used to playing submissive roles before, I couldn't find the feeling of being a mother-in-law this time. Sister-in-law Niu couldn't help cheering: "Don't worry, old lady, our Erlang can even cure Chen Wenjin's family, are you still afraid that the Liu family will not succeed?" Besides, yesterday's mother-in-law's personality and character were also seen by herself, and she was a very easy-going and reasonable person, how could the girl she trained be like the first one? ”

Trembling, Li came to Guanyin Hall first accompanied by Niu's sister-in-law, and moved to the small pavilion in the backyard to wait after worshipping the Bodhisattva.

After a while, I saw Zhang from a distance also walking over with a girl supporting her.

Li hurriedly got up to greet each other, and the two parents each walked a few steps briskly, supporting each other and making a blessing to each other. (According to this, the blessing ceremony is a ritual between women who are related to each other or who are intimate with each other in ancient times.) The four hands are supported by each other, the body is slightly on the left side, and the knees are slightly bent. ）

With a greeting in his mouth, Li's eyes couldn't help but glance behind Zhang.

This girl is as green as a shallot, wearing a pale green dress, covered with waist-length light goose yellow jackets. Fan Dai is not used, but he has a good complexion like porcelain, with a slight redness, bright eyes drooping, long eyelashes covering, and he stands quietly and solemnly a few steps behind Zhang.

"Qing'er, come and see your aunt." Before she passed the door, Zhang only taught her to be called an aunt.

Liu Qingsi lowered his head and walked in gently, and made a deep blessing: "Qingsi has seen my aunt!" As soon as he finished speaking, his face was full of spring and delicate.

Seeing that Mrs. Ning's heart was infinitely happy, and she hurriedly held it with both hands: "No need to be polite, no need to be polite." Let Liu Qing think.

Liu Qingsi's eyes fluttered, but he didn't dare to look at the Li family, he only felt that he was a kind old man.

The old lady looked up at this girl slightly, and the more she looked at it, the more happy she became, and said with a smile: "It is really a blessing for our family to have such a good daughter, and it is a good blessing for Erlang!" He took her hand and sat down in the pavilion, and asked a few words in a low voice, although Liu Qingsi was shy, he was also calm, gentle and polite to answer one by one.

Li was even more happy, stretched out his hand and took off a white jade bracelet from his wrist, and said with a smile: "This is the bracelet that the old man took off from his hand when he met his mother-in-law before he entered the door of Ning's house. I've been wearing it for decades too, and now it's time for you! ”

Liu Qingsi's face was flushed, panicked, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Since it is a family heirloom, it should be accepted by the old and old people, and the children dare not take it!" ”

This is not only a family tradition, but also a family tradition. Alas, you also know that the first person in our family was not a proper man, and he hid his personal affairs that day, so he did not hand over this thing. When I see you today, our mother and son are very fateful, so you should continue. You're welcome, push it again, and I'll be annoyed! ”

Li deliberately pretended to be fierce, but there was still so kindness and love between his eyebrows and eyes.

Liu Qingsi looked at her mother helplessly, and saw that Zhang nodded slightly, but she didn't say anything, so she had to bow deeply and catch it with both hands. This jade bracelet is snow-white, and there is some blood in it, which shows that it is a treasure that has been passed down for at least a hundred years. She didn't dare to take it immediately, so she quickly took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, wrapped it carefully, and hid it in her arms.

Seeing that she was so cherished, Li secretly nodded in approval.
