Shen Kan doubted their intention to call him here, and he didn't think that he would be looked down upon if he said a few words.

Lack of money, call yourself to find a way? Shen Kan shook his head, he didn't have that ability, even if he came forward to borrow usury, he wouldn't have credit.

The people in this house have their own low status, but there must be a place where they can be used, Shen Kanxin said that it is better to wait and see.

Here, Liu Yi and Qian Mengyuan kept commenting on the surrounding environment, and their expressions were quite envious.

Ye Kecheng chuckled: "You guys are really talking nonsense, you don't understand people's intentions at all, you are too careless."

"Why?" Qian Mengyuan asked hurriedly.

"Didn't you pay attention to the plaque on the door when you walked in earlier?" Ye Kecheng said.

"Really?"

Liu Yiqian Mengyuan heard this, and hurriedly walked out to look up, which was cut into a fan with large paper, and the three big characters "Cai Ruixuan" were written.

"Cai Ruixuan?" Liu Yi was puzzled, "There's nothing special about this, there are flowers everywhere, what's the connection?"

Ye Kecheng said: "Still careless, you two will take a look at the couplets on the left and right."

The two turned their heads to look, and sure enough, a five-word couplet was written on the pillar, the upper link was the fairy Fang name Taizhen, and the lower link was Wutong lock Qingqiu.

The two clapped their hands at the same time and said, "Got it, got it!" This couplet hides the respect of the sister-in-law. No wonder this pavilion is called Cai Ruixuan. ”

Shen Kanxin said that the phoenix's feathers are colorful and gorgeous, which is auspicious, and it is probably named Cai Ruixuan, and the sycamore of the sycamore lock Qingqiu is not related to the phoenix, and the name of the fairy is too real, how is it gold?

Basically, he guessed correctly, and he didn't know that in the Taoist immortal formula, Jin's name is Taizhen, and the next link is taken from the famous sentence of Li Houzhu's "Alone in the West Building without words, the moon is like a hook, and the lonely Wutong Deep Courtyard locks Qingqiu".

"Got it." Qian Mengyuan began to shake his head again, "A small couplet, but it is also related to Mrs. Ru, it can be seen that the couple is deeply affectionate!"

Not to mention that everyone present was a scholar, even Shen Kan knew that "Wutong Lock Qingqiu" was not very auspicious, and he saw that Qian Mengyuan was saying good things vigorously, and he couldn't help but express bad comments on his character.

Shen Shi always smiled and said nothing, and Jin Feng explained: "Uncle is busy with his studies, how can he have time to make these little things." It was all Mr. Jiang who came the day before yesterday, and said that a couplet should be pasted here, not to ask someone to bring paper, but to grind it by the slave family. I was tired for a long time, my hands were sore and sore, he asked the uncle to help with the paperweight, and I wrote it, the ink dried, and I was willing to go before I pasted it, and I had to read it word by word. ”

Liu Yi said: "Is that the old Mr. Jiang nearby?"

"Who else but him?" Shen Shi opened his mouth, noticing that Shen Kan didn't seem to be clear, and explained: "This Mr. Jiang is a talented person, who has never been lifted in his life, has nothing to do all day long, and recites poems everywhere to beg for a glass of wine to eat. It's okay to find some names, not to mention that there are ready-made topics. Congratulations that day, I was helpless by him, so I fulfilled his wish, and asked me to invite him to a banquet when he left. ”

"I see." Shen Kan said with a smile.

Qian Mengyuan said: "That old gentleman is also a wonderful person, why not borrow a table of wine in front of him and invite him over?" It can also be regarded as Brother Daoxian's fulfillment of the covenant. ”

Shen Shi thought about it too, and immediately called someone to invite. It didn't take long for an old man in a cyan flower robe to walk in.

Everyone stood up, and Shen Kan saw that this old Mr. Jiang was wearing a fox fur hat, carrying a folding fan of Xiangfei bamboo in his hand in winter, and a few pale beards on his mouth, and the whole person was cleaned up.

Ye Kehe said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many days, and Senior Jiang is getting older and stronger."

Swish! Mr. Jiang shook off the folding fan, shook it lightly twice, and said with a smile: "Lupine scarf, talk and laugh, the canopy is gone!."

"Heroic and dry, Jiang Lao is not diminished back then." Shen Shi said as he stretched out his hand to give him a seat.

Mr. Jiang was not polite, and sat on the chief with a butt, and the big guy was not surprised. He pointed to the seat next to him, and then pointed at Shen Kan with a fan, "Little Housheng, come here to sit, come here." ”

Shen Kan had no choice but to sit down. Mr. Jiang looked at him sideways and asked, "What's your last name?" How old are you this year?"

"Senior Shen Kan, fifteen years old."

"Oh! One must be the old Shen family. Mr. Jiang nodded, "Okay, the future life is terrible and I will decline!" Now that you young people are in the world, have you decided to be married?"

Shen Kan smiled and said: "The younger generation doesn't want to get married too early, let's talk about it after Double Ten."

"You should be beaten, you should be beaten when you say this!" Mr. Jiang patted Shen Kan's forehead twice with a folding fan, "Unfilial piety is great, which of you juniors doesn't want to marry a beautiful lady?" is the so-called talented and beautiful woman's affair, they all want to find their confidantes, so they try their best to criticize their parents' words of matchmaking, don't look at me old, I understand. You don't want the old man to be a matchmaker for you, do you? I really wronged my old man. ”

Shen Kan saw that he was talking funny, and said with a smile: "That's not it, but before the age of twenty, the bones of the body are not fully developed, and getting married too early is not good for health."

"There's some truth to that." Mr. Jiang nodded.

"What's the credentials? You use the word development well. Ye Kehe asked.

Shen Kan just said it casually, he didn't want to post a long speech, but in fact he couldn't say it, and said with a smile: "I think it's private, it's an excuse."

Liu Yi raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Sir, why don't you also be a matchmaker for me?"

"You want to marry a daughter-in-law too? Yes! I have a couple of good candidates. Mr. Jiang also raised his glass, "This glass of wine is counted as a fixed money, and when the matter is completed, thank the media." ”

Shen Kan watched the two of them drink, and felt that his eyes were opened, this old gentleman took great pains to drink in order to mix wine.

Generally, it is a woman's business, that is, a matchmaker, while a man is a matchmaker, that is, a witness to the marriage of both parties.

In the family rules of the Shen family, there is a strict prohibition of three aunts and six mothers-in-law from entering and leaving the inner house, that is because there was such a group of women in the Ming Dynasty, who were between the female dependents of wealthy families or small families.

The three aunts and six women are closely related to the lives of the boudoir women, and without these sources of the three aunts and six women, many women who do not leave the door may never know the latest changes in the outside world.

Nowadays, there is such a limerick poem: "The old woman can speak short and long, causing disasters to cause the wall." If you listen to the words of the three aunts in the boudoir, Zhenlie can be called bad. ”

In short, the cases of cheating of women from good families in the Ming Dynasty are often related to the three aunts and six mothers-in-law, and the social reputation is very bad.

Some people have long advocated that the three aunts and six mothers-in-law should be kept out of the door in order to be worthy of being called a family, and the Shen family is like this, avoiding these women like snakes and scorpions.

the traditional "three aunts", nuns, Taoist aunts, and hexagram aunts; The "six women" are the tooth woman, the matchmaker, the teacher's wife, the pious woman, the medicine woman, and the stable woman. Nowadays, it is no longer limited to these kinds of occupations, and there are corpse girls, incense girls, water bowl girls, sellers, doctors, nurses, embroidery girls, plug Dai women, blind men, etc., covering almost all aspects of social life.

Hearing Mr. Jiang talking and laughing during the banquet, Shen Kan waited for Shen Shi to explain to himself, he didn't want people to be very calm, Shen Kan said in his heart that he had to learn Qi Kung Fu.

Patient, Shen Kan sat quietly without drinking, not wanting to drink too early and cause damage to brain development, except for the sweet osmanthus wine that day.

Talking about the matter of protecting the media, others had fun inviting the old gentleman to drink, but Mr. Jiang suddenly held down the wine glass with his left hand, shook the folding fan with his right hand, and said with a smile: "I'm old, I can't drink anymore." Of course, I must drink the toast of the new grandmother, but the host does not invite. ”

Jin Feng immediately laughed and said: "The slave family is not good at drinking, but the old gentleman has a life, so the slave family has to accompany him."

As he spoke, he poured the wine glass in front of him full, Shen Shi pressed her wine glass with his hand, and said, "I want to be weird again!" I turned around and got drunk, and I don't know what it would become. You'd better sit still. ”

"How can it be!" Mr. Jiang was not happy, "How can there be a new daughter-in-law to respect guests, and the master can stop it?"

Shen Kanxin said that big families have this gift? I can't even see one side when I'm idle, it seems that it is still Jin Feng's background.

Of course, because she comes from later generations, she is very familiar with the same table between men and women, and she doesn't exclude it, but she doesn't know what people nowadays think in their hearts, I'm afraid that even Shen Shi didn't take Jin Feng seriously, but Jin Feng didn't know that the more anxious she was to show her generosity, the more she would be despised by others.

Shen Shi said: "She doesn't drink much, so I don't dare to let her be presumptuous." If Jiang Lao doesn't follow, how about I accompany him?"

"No, she's her, you're you." Mr. Jiang smiled, "Unless you drink the wine in your mouth and spit it into her stomach." ”

Shen Kan frowned, and sure enough, he thought it was drinking flower wine. I saw Shen Shi smile and said, "Didn't Elder Jiang want to recognize her as a disciple?" How can a gentleman bully a disciple?"

"Not bad." Mr. Jiang stroked his sparse beard, "I said this, but your couple didn't admit it." ”

"No, I don't admit it." Shen Shi put down his wine glass, "Because you are an old Confucian, wouldn't it ruin Mr.'s reputation to worship a woman who can't read a few words on the door wall?" And you always accept this kind of disciple, don't you become the gentleman of the Mengxue Pavilion? Even the thousand-character text and the three-character scripture have been taught. ”

Mr. Jiang smiled: "I have many protégés." If they all ask me to teach them one by one, they will have to live and die of exhaustion. I just want a name, men and women, they treat me as a gentleman, and that's it. ”
