Chapter 28, red beans, red beans

In the evening, when the family sat down to eat together, Mrs. Wang said to Wang Gui

"Husband, do you think this bracelet looks good?"

Wang Gui looked at the acacia bean bracelet on Mrs. Wang's wrist and said seriously

"Well, Madame's skin is better again."

Mrs. Wang said with a red face

"Be serious, I'll ask you something."

Wang Lang and Wang Weizhou snickered on the side, but they didn't dare to show it. If the old man caught the two of them laughing at himself, it would not be a beating. Wang Gui said with a smile

"Good looking, good-looking. It cost a lot of money. ”

Mrs. Wang said with a smile

"Fang'er sent it, it didn't cost anything."

Wang Gui and Wang Weizhou both looked at Wang Lang in a daze, and Wang Weizhou asked curiously

"Brother, what is this? It's weird and good-looking, and my brother will buy one for Ying'er another day. ”

Wang Lang smiled but said nothing, and Mrs. Wang said with a smile

"These are all picked by Fang'er herself, and she skewered them by herself, where can I buy them."

Then he said to Wang Weizhou

"Your brother, I have already prepared it for you, I will go to my mother to get it later, and I will send it to my daughter-in-law tomorrow."

Wang Weizhou smiled and scratched his head, and Mrs. Wang said to Wang Gui again

"Husband, the concubine wants to open a jewelry store to sell these small jewelry."

Wang Gui thought for a while and said

"Madame would just find someone to handle this. The husband only cares about the outside affairs, and Mrs. Lao handles the family affairs. ”

Mrs. Wang said with a smile

"Okay, when Zhou'er's wedding is over, we'll open the shop. Fang'er, Zhou'er, what do you say it's called? ”

Wang Lang said with a smile

"Mother, is it okay to call it Acacia Pavilion?"

Wang Gui said curiously

"Why is it called Acacia Pavilion?"

Wang Lang said with a smile

"Father, mother, eldest brother, we people here don't know how to sell these things. So, I named these things Acacia Beans. And it is necessary to arrange a good birth for these things. Is it easy to sell if there is a meaning? ”

Wang Weizhou asked curiously

"Can these things still make up stories? Just sell it directly, why do you need to make up any stories. ”

Wang Lang said with a smile

"Big brother, you don't understand this, if it's an item, it's very meaningful, and the story is very exciting. With the same thing but just a dead thing, at the same price, which one would you buy? ”

All three of them lowered their heads in thought. Wang Gui looked at Wang Lang and asked

"So what kind of story are you going to tell to attract people to buy it?"

Wang Lang said with a smile

"Of course, it's a poignant story. This will not only add mystery to the acacia beans, but also add substance to the acacia beans. ”

Mrs. Wang asked eagerly

"What kind of story?"

Wang Lang cleared his throat and said

"Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a man who went on an expedition, and his wife leaned on the big tree on the high mountain day and night to pray; Because he missed his lover, he cried under the tree. When the tears dried, there were bright red droplets of blood. The blood droplets turn into red beans, and the red beans take root and sprout, grow into a big tree, and bear a tree of red beans, which people call acacia beans. Day after day, spring goes and autumn comes. The fruit of the big tree, accompanied by the longing in the girl's heart, slowly turned into the most beautiful red heart-shaped seed in the world - acacia beans. This kind of real acacia red bean, nature has endowed it with a characteristic: the quality is as hard as a diamond, the color is as bright as blood, the shape is like a beating heart, red and shiny, not moth-eaten or rotten, and the color is crystal clear and never fades. Its shape and texture are all in the shape of the word "heart". It's really a big heart, careful, heart-to-heart. Legend has it that people who have lovesickness in their hearts, under the weeping tree, are difficult to dissolve, and finally condensed.

Acacia beans are heart-shaped, and the seeds are hard and bright red like blood, with a beautiful sheen and no variegation, symbolizing "pure love"; The seeds do not rot, rot, break, or break for a long time, and are called 'eternal and unchanging'. ”

When Wang Lang told the whole family, they all sat there quietly, still immersed in Wang Lang's story just now. Wang Weizhou couldn't help but speak

"It's really a beautiful story, a beautiful meaning."

Mrs. Wang secretly touched the corners of her eyes and said with disgust

"Fang'er will earn her mother's tears. Such a beautiful story, those girls are not all yearning. ”

Wang Lang was addicted to moving as a porter, so he said

"Mother, there is another poem here, which is written about red beans."

Wang Gui became interested at this time and said

"Fang'er, let's talk about it"

Wang Weifang said slowly

"Red beans are born in the south, how many branches will be sent in spring? May you pick more, this thing is the most lovely!"

Wang Gui shook his head and immersed himself in Wang Langshi's artistic conception. Nodding with satisfaction, he said

"Good poetry, really good poetry. Fang'er, why didn't my father find out that you had such a good poetic talent? ”

Wang Lang scratched his head shyly and said with a smile

"That's when the child just thought about practicing martial arts, after the last grandfather's teaching, I have read a lot of books recently, and besides, my father taught me well. Otherwise, why is the eldest brother so good. Big brother, don't you say? ”

Wang Lang said and glanced at Wang Weizhou.

Wang Gui nodded with a smile and said

"Well, Fang'er said yes. No matter how good the talent is, you also need the guidance and teaching of your predecessors~ It's not easy for Fang'er to know this truth. Hehehe~"

Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes as she listened to it, secretly contemptuous in her heart

"My son's sycophants are so obvious, you can't hear it when you're so old."

Wang Gui didn't know that he had been despised by his wife in his heart a hundred times, a hundred times. Wang Lang looked at his happy family, and his heart was unprecedentedly satisfied. Wang Lang smiled at Mrs. Wang

"Mother, after we opened this Acacia Pavilion, these ornaments must be supplied in limited quantities."

Mrs. Wang said suspiciously

"Why, the more you sell, the more you earn."

Wang Lang said with a smile

"Mother, things are vaguely expensive."

Everyone was stunned. Mrs. Wang stood up and said to Wang Lang and Wang Weizhou

"In a few days, Zhou'er will get married, and the house will be busy for a while, Fang'er, you can also help your eldest brother. These days, if your eldest brother has something that he can't spare his hands on, you can help with that. You have a more flexible brain than your eldest brother, and give your eldest brother more ideas. Mother, I'll go back and rest first. I'm going to get busy tomorrow. Zhou'er, go with your mother to get the acacia bean bracelet and send it to your daughter-in-law tomorrow. ”

Wang Weizhou responded and winked at Wang Lang happily, and went to the bracelet with a fart. As soon as Mrs. Wang left, the old man couldn't stay still, so he said to Wang Lang

"Fang'er, tomorrow you will go to the market to see if there are any live geese. Buy one back. Wait for your eldest brother to use it when he gets married. There are many other things, you come to my study and I will explain them to you one by one. When the time comes, I will make a mistake and make people laugh at my Wang family's lack of etiquette. ”

Wang Lang reluctantly followed the old man to the study, and in the study, Wang Lang really saw what an ancient wedding was. It's not like the kind of TV series that worships heaven and earth, worships the high hall twice, and the husband and wife worship each other and are sent to the cave room. It's all. Wang Lang came out after being destroyed by the old man for an hour. I don't know how to get into my own courtyard in a daze. Wang Lang's mind is full of it now

"My brother will definitely find a place where no one will get married in the future, this is marriage, it is fatal!"
