Chapter 9: I'm Serious

It is said that this sister-in-law Wu Lao Er heard about it when she went to the palace more than ten years ago, and she is the daughter of Mr. Wu's father-in-law, Mr. Zuo's brother-in-law, Jian Gonggong's family (such a chaotic relationship). It's just that when Father-in-law Jian talked about it, Boss Wu's face looked very embarrassed, as if he was not too satisfied with this marriage. I don't know why, but they became relatives later. Today, Wu Lao Er saw that this sister-in-law is very good, although she does not say that she is alluring to the country and the city, but she is also graceful and very beautiful. It's just that when I look at walking, I break my face, ah no, it's exposed.

Wu Lao Er sat on the chair in the living room with Erlang's legs crossed, and suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind the screen, and looked at it only to see a woman wearing a light red brocade silk dress, with green horizontal stripes on the cuffs and skirt, which looked bright. Looking up, this woman is in her prime, and her colors are beautiful. Wu Lao Er felt that this Jian family's three Niu Niu was too much for Wu Lao Da, and there was nothing to be picky about. It's just, it's just how, how the sister-in-law walks like a martial artist, the dragon walks and the tiger walks, the momentum is extraordinary, and the walk is wide open and closed, quite a military general's style. was so startled that Wu Lao Er put down the crossed Erlang's legs with a bang, and then got up and stood upright, and the body was straight as if he had seen the boss at the top. Yes, at this moment, when Wu Lao Er remembered that when he met the boss of the boss in his previous life, he was worried in his heart like a chicken head waiting for the inspection.

"This is uncle, right? I'm scaring you? "The voice is very good, a little heroic.

Boss Wu watched the performance of this pair of uncles and sisters-in-law with mixed emotions on the side, and snorted and said to Wu Boss: "Second brother, this is your sister-in-law." He said to his wife: "Sanniang, how many times have I told you, don't walk in a hurry, you are a woman, what kind of system is this." ”

Wu Lao Er saw that his sister-in-law "Teng" came to Wu Lao Da immediately, "What's wrong?" Did the old lady disgrace you? Wu Lao Er hurriedly said: "No, no, it's the younger brother who is careless." The sister-in-law is so powerful, showing that the woman does not let the heroic warriors of the eyebrows! ”

"Hehe, my uncle is worthy of working in the collection department, in the end, he is knowledgeable, how can he be like your brother, he said that I was not gentle and graceful enough, you must know that I was reading women's precepts when I was young."

Wu Lao Er sweated, "Sister-in-law Mo Nao, my brother has had this stinky problem since he was a child, and now he has not been able to change it when he is about to stand up, just like his humming problem." ”

Jian Sanniang laughed: "Uncle said the same, I can't see him as if everyone should be like him, and I don't necessarily see all the Legalist disciples who are that virtuous." ”

"What my sister-in-law said is that I used to say that my brother should smile more, and now I see that there are ice cubes too."

Hearing that Wu Lao Er lied without making drafts, Wu Boss felt that it was really unfavorable for him to let his uncle and sister-in-law meet.

"No, your brother and I have been married for eight years now, and we don't need to eat ice in the summer with this ice cube face all day long." After a while, he asked Wu Lao Er: "How old is Uncle now?" Can you get married? ”

Wu Lao Er wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied: "Annoying sister-in-law asked, the younger brother entered the palace at the age of four, and now it is fourteen years old." Because he has never been out of the palace, he has not been married. ”

"Look at what your brother did, now that your uncle has come to the palace, the matter of marriage can be wrapped up in the sister-in-law, and I will find a gentle and graceful one for my uncle."

"Eh" Wu Lao Er didn't dare to agree, in case this sister-in-law found one according to her own standards, it would be a bad heart. "Don't work hard for my sister-in-law, the younger brother is now going to accompany King Zhao to Daye City to seal it, and the matter of marriage has to be discussed again."

"Then how can you do it, how can you find it when you are out alone, so let's wait until I find it for you and ask your brother to send you a letter, you can come back and see."

As soon as Wu Lao Er wanted to refute, he listened to Wu Lao Dao: "The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, your father and mother will definitely not be able to do your business now, just listen to your sister-in-law!" ”

Wu Lao Er was full of schadenfreude when he heard it, so he had to swallow the words, otherwise he would be too bad to give face to his sister-in-law who had seen her for the first time. Jian Sanniang saw that Wu Lao Er didn't say anything more, and she didn't know what to think about when she was happy. Boss Wu had no choice but to snort again and said, "Sanniang went and ordered the next person to cook, and then asked someone to buy some wine. ”

Jian Sanniang said "Okay", and said to Wu Laoer: "Uncle and your brother went to the study to talk, and I will call you brothers when the meal is ready." As he spoke, he turned around and walked away again.

Wu Lao Er looked at Jian Sanniang's back and exhaled, glanced at Wu Lao Da and smiled: "Sister-in-law is good, and she looks good, that's what she says."

"Huh?" Boss Wu didn't understand, he thought that Wu Lao Er would talk about his wife's walking, but he didn't want Wu Lao Er to speak, so he looked at Wu Lao Er and said suspiciously: "What's wrong with your sister-in-law's talking?" ”

"Don't you feel tired of talking to your sister-in-law? It seems that the two old masters are yes. Wu Lao Er said wryly.

"Let's go, let's go to the study and drink tea." Boss Wu's eyes slanted at Elder Wu, and in the end he really didn't know what to say.

"I won't be angry with you, let my eldest nephew lead me to play." Wu Lao Er also said angrily.

"Humph! Whatever you want. With that, he flicked his sleeves and went to the study alone. Anyway, I haven't seen Boss Wu flick his sleeves for a long time

Let Xiao Wu Ming take him to walk around the old Wu family, it was not interesting, but Wu Lao Er still went to the study. At least it's okay to tease Boss Wu to throw his sleeves, it's much more interesting than wandering around, Wu Lao Er was unwilling to go shopping in his previous life. In the study, the conversation between the Wu brothers and the brothers has been going on in the black line of Wu Lao Da and Wu Lao Er's hippie smiling face, until the next person comes to call for dinner.

At this time, I didn't pay attention to food and silence when eating, Wu Lao Er is a habit of modern people, and he generally likes to talk about everything while eating.

At the dinner table, Jian Sanniang once again mentioned proposing marriage to Wu Lao Er, and said how about the women of a certain family, Wu Lao Zong was beating the drum on the side, and said that he would tell his parents when he went home to see his parents in the past two days, and Wu Lao Er could only bear it passively. For people from modern times with a soul of forty or fifty years old, Wu Lao Er did not think that he had to fall in love freely and find a woman he liked. In his previous life, as a big man, Wu Lao Er certainly would not lack women. I also know how unreliable free love is. Once the love period is over, it will be accompanied by all kinds of quarrels and faults, etc., and he even feels that there is no harmony in the blind date. At least two people can respect each other for a few years or even more than ten years, and they will be relatively tolerant of anything. Therefore, Wu Lao Er is not too resistant to his sister-in-law to find a wife for himself, and his only requirement is that he hopes that he can meet the other party before deciding. For his decision, Mr. Wu and his wife also felt that there was nothing wrong with it, after all, his younger brother would go to Fengyi with King Zhao, and I heard that he was specially looking for the emperor to ask for it from the Collection Division, and then he arrived in Daye City to be a proper palace steward, and King Zhao's cronies. Even if you stay in Beijing, it is the function of the head of the collection department, and you are serious and the fourth grade.

After dinner, I drank tea with Boss Wu in the study for a while, and said that I would stay in the capital for two days first, and Boss Wu would take this younger brother to visit friends from all walks of life in the capital, and then Boss Wu and Boss Wu would go back to Sanmen County to see their parents together. During this period, Wu Lao Er vaguely asked Boss Wu why he didn't take his parents over to live with him, and the result was that he was buried by Boss Wu. In the words of Boss Wu, it is "if the people have to support them, they will not leave their homeland, and they will return to their sons until they are old, and they will end up." and the Son shall return to the earth. That is to say, parents will not leave their homes when they are able to support themselves, and will not go to their son's house until they are old enough to work on their own, and then until they die. When my son is old, he will return to his hometown.

Wu Lao Er couldn't understand why, so he asked: "Isn't it possible that once parents raise their son, they can't wait for their son to have a good future?" ”

Boss Wu can't mention the contempt for Wu Er's ignorance now, and he skimmed Wu Lao Er with his eyes and said indifferently: "This is what "Wuyan" says, and it is in line with the way of heaven. I really don't know what you've done in the palace, especially the Archives Division, in the past ten years! ”

"Wu Yan" is a doctrine of the Huayi school, a branch of Taoism, which mainly seeks the balance of heaven and Tao in the difference between humans and animals in the human world, and considers itself to be "the supreme principle of nature." ”

In fact, in the current White Jade Empire, there are very few people who abide by this rule, but Boss Wu is a disciple of the Legalist family, and he has been preaching the ancient law, making a mess of family affection.

Wu Lao Er was not happy when he heard Wu Lao Boss say this, yo he, do you dare to bury me? Blowing the tea foam, he said softly: "Our family is also the successor of the next chief manager of the collection department, so we are naturally familiar with the classics of each family." However, the sages of the ancients looked at the truth of other families, and they could have their own opinions. Although the younger brother is stupid, he also wants to follow the sages and open his own way! ”

Although Boss Wu knew that this younger brother often had amazing nonsense, he never imagined that this younger brother would come out with such words. After looking at Wu Lao Er for a while, Wu Lao Er thought that his eldest brother was impressed by his arrogant words, and just wanted to say two more sentences to establish his image as a master in Wu Boss's heart, when he suddenly heard Wu Lao Er faintly come to say: "It's so shameless." ”

Boss Wu's resentful tone was so heartfelt that Wu Lao Er also felt deeply worried, and secretly said in his heart: "Am I really so shameless?" After a deep groan, he said unconvinced to Boss Wu: "I'm serious!" ”

Boss Wu gave Boss Wu a firm look, and then said, "Me too!" ”
