Chapter 266: Favor

When the midwife howled and loudly congratulated her on giving birth to a daughter, Pan Wenchang almost fainted in the dark when she heard it.

He was in his thirties before finally having a queen.

But I didn't want to, it turned out to be a worthless girl.

At that time, the midwife came to him with the girl in her arms, and said auspicious words to please money.

At that time, he almost couldn't hold back, and threw his palm over.

Although he was promoted, his family background was poor, and he didn't know how to make money at all except for studying.

Back then, it was the wife who supported the family by sewing.

Even if he later became a county school teacher, life was still difficult.

Raising a child is already very difficult, where do you dare to ask for more?

just kept procrastinating, and didn't dare to have children again.

There was only one daughter in the envoy's family.

And Pan Wen is patriarchal, when his wife was pregnant, he also asked a Taoist priest to calculate the hexagram, saying that it must be a boy.

When you are at home, you can usher in the joy of Zhangzhang!

But in the end, the visitors only congratulated the joy of making tiles.

Zhang, jade, and it is a beautiful jade.

Tile, on the other hand, refers to pottery.

It is a man who gives birth to a bed, a bed that carries clothes, and a zhang that carries a carry; It is a place of birth, a place of sleep, a cloth of clothes, and a tile of play.

The idea is to give birth to a boy and put it on the bed to make Zhang.

When a girl is born, she puts it on the ground and makes tiles.

This is a manifestation of patriarchy in ancient times.

There is also another saying, saying that he gave birth to a boy and gave it to a piece of Meiyu, indicating that he could become an official and become a righteous gentleman in the future.

When a girl is born, he is given a tile, which refers to the parts on the spinning wheel, indicating that he will be docile and good at housekeeping in the future.

It has the meaning of blessing men and women.

But Pan Wenchang obviously doesn't think twice.

All the above reasons are combined, so that Pan Wenchang is very unhappy with this daughter.

Although he doesn't beat or scold on weekdays, he will stare at the past with cold eyes if he doesn't like it, and the relationship is alienated like a stranger, which is called cold violence in modern times, which makes his daughter very afraid of him.

"Stop making fun of the old man." As long as others mention his daughter, Pan Wenchang will always think that the other party is ridiculing and ridiculing.

So hearing Hu Bao say this, Pan Wenchang waved his sleeves a little unhappily.

Being able to take up the post of Gongcao in Wangsha County, Peng Xi is not only because he is knowledgeable and capable.

Another point is that the vision is very vicious.

Pan Wenchang is from the south, and his wife is also from the south.

Although Pan Wenchang's family was poor, he was also a scholar, and he married his wife after being admitted to the examination.

Being able to show talent in the examination shows that he is talented and learned.

The matchmaker said that he was pro, and naturally it would not be bad.

So Pan Wenchang's wife was also extremely beautiful when she was young.

Small jasper, soft body, petite and exquisite.

And the little girl in front of her, in fact, her appearance is not bad, but she is exposed to the wind and sun, has been old for many years, and often does not eat enough, and her development is not very good, so she obviously looks like a sprinkler and sweeper.

But as long as you raise it for a few years, you will definitely be able to turn into a pretty little beauty.

In the north, such a small jasper-style woman, that is very popular.

Peng Xi secretly made up his mind.

Zhao Ping has many sons and rare daughters, so he can't help but choke with Pan Wenchang when he sees Pan Wenchang like this.

Wei Yong and the others naturally helped their companions.

Pan Wenchang opened his mouth, where did he say that there were several people on the other side?

And he is also very good, quoting scriptures, but the other party is not as knowledgeable as you.

No matter what you say, people only say that their daughters are also biological, and they are not good for biological children, can they still be called human?

It made Pan Wen's face redden.

He knew that Lu Dao and a few officials were not all the way at all, so he kept silent angrily.

But his daughter embarrassed him, so he couldn't help but just throw his eyes and knife over again.

The frightened little girl's petite and thin body trembled slightly.

Tears in my eyes!

Peng Xi coughed lightly at this time, and suddenly interjected, "Wei Yong, what they said makes sense, girls are not as good as their sons, but whether a girl's identity is expensive or cheap also depends on whose family she is from, such as our princess of Daqi, that is the golden branch and jade leaf!"

Who would dare to despise half a point?

It is her blessing that this girl can be destined to become Mr. Pan's daughter, and she is naturally also an official lady. ”

"What Master Peng said is extremely true!" Zhao Ping first agreed.

Pan Wenchang thought about it, and this is not unreasonable.

Although he despised women, he did not dare to underestimate the royal princess.

Not to mention the royal princess, even the daughter of a wealthy family, he would not dare to offend.

"Mr. Pan, this girl looks pleasing to the eye, and she wants to be her goddaughter, I don't know what Mr. thinks?"

Peng Xi's voice landed, and Pan Wenchang's eyes widened instantly.

The person in charge of Gong Cao in front of him, the celebrity around Pang Junshou, actually deliberately wants to accept his daughter as a goddaughter?

Pan Wenchang looks down on his daughter.

When he was a child, his daughter was white and tender, and he didn't bother to glance at it.

Not to mention the appearance of being dark and thin now, cowering.

Some couldn't believe it.

Zhao Ping, Wei Yong, Hu Bao and others were also a little surprised, and they couldn't figure out why Peng Xi suddenly wanted to take in a goddaughter.

In order to win over Pan Wenchang, set up an eyeliner in Lingtong County?

The shrewd Hu Bao turned his brain and guessed in his heart.

The more I thought about it, the more likely it became.

is to speak up, "Master Pan, why don't you hurry up?" ”

"Huh?" Pan Wenchang was stunned and couldn't come back to his senses.

"What, Mr. Pan is unwilling?" Peng Xi gently waved his sleeves.

"No, it's not, of course the lower officials are willing." Pan Wenchang finally reacted, and hurriedly said: "This girl can enter the eyes of Master Peng, it is her blessing, and I will definitely honor you like my own daughter in the future!" ”

After saying that, Pan Wenchang glared at his daughter and motioned for her daughter to come forward and speak.

The little girl was afraid of her father, and instinctively took a few steps back when she saw this.

It's really mud that can't hold up the wall!

Pan Wenchang was anxious and angry.

Of course, he hopes to take this opportunity to have a relationship with Pencil!

has a relationship, there is a backer to be an official, step by step.

Even though he is old, he has not stopped thinking about having children, his wife is old, and he plans to take a concubine during this time.

It is better to have a son than to have a broken son.

The reason why I have this idea again recently is that I can get the full amount of money, and Jianglong will also issue a certain amount of subsidies, so that life is better and I am no longer short of money.

In the past, he had to rely on his wife to make money by sewing to be able to eat his stomach.

I don't have the ability to take a concubine at all!

"What's your name?"

At this time, Peng Xi took a step forward, blocking Pan Wenchang's angry gaze, his voice was gentle, and there was a kind smile on his face, "This official also has a daughter, who is naughty and naughty on weekdays, and even likes her grandmother, but she is a girl's family, and some of them are too lonely."

So the official wants to accept you as his goddaughter, and then take you to Wangsha City to live for a while, and accompany the official's ignorant daughter. ”

The little girl raised her head and saw Peng Xi smiling and unusually kind, and immediately had a good impression of Peng Xi.

However, after opening his mouth, his face was flushed with shame, and he pinched his sleeves and replied: "I, I don't have a name, my father and mother only call me a girl." ”

Don't even have a name?

Not only the six officials were taken aback, but even Peng Xi was taken aback.

Is this really biological......

Pan Wenchang's wife has always wanted to name her daughter, but every time she mentioned it, Pan Wenchang was happy, so she dragged it until now.

"Ahem." Seeing that everyone looked over, Pan Wenchang was a little embarrassed.

In my heart, don't we have the same name, what's the big deal?

But when I thought like this, I couldn't say that, "It's a momentary negligence on the part of the lower officials." ”

Peng Xi shook his head secretly, negligent for a while?

The little girl in front of you is over ten years old, right?

It's been too long.

Hu Bao, Zhao Ping, and Wei Yong and others also think the same way.

"I'm willing to be my uncle's goddaughter." At this time, the little girl said again.

"Good!" Peng Xi smiled, and then changed the conversation, "But the goddaughter of this official can't even have a name." ”

As he spoke, his eyes moved to Pan Wenchang's face.

The child's name is naturally best chosen by the biological parents.

Pan Wenchang said yes again and again, and then he had no beard in his hands, and after a little groaning, he said: "She can be accepted as a goddaughter by Lord Peng, and this is her blessing, which is the favor you have given her, since this is the case, it is better to call her a favor." ”

He thought about it casually and came up with a name.

But I didn't see it, the little girl was on the side, looking at him, her eyes were full of admiration and admiration.

Since she was a child, her mother told her over and over again that her father was knowledgeable and capable.

So the little girl, that is, Pan Enhui, regarded her father as an idol.

Grace?

The little girl tilted her head, thinking it was very good, the smile on her face bloomed, and her heart was surprised and happy, from today onwards, she also has a name.

And this name was given to her by her father himself.

"Pan Enhui?"

Peng Ximo read it a few times, and then said with a smile: "This name is good, it sounds good, good, in the future, the goddaughter of this official will be called this name." ”

"Congratulations to Master Peng for winning a daughter!" Several officials were smiling and congratulating.

Peng Xi waved his hand, "It is indeed a great event, when I return to the county seat, the official will invite a few of you to the restaurant for a big meal." ”

"Xie Lu, Lord Xie Peng!" A few people said again.

Then, several people congratulated Pan Wen again.

Pan Wenchang smiled very happily, because through his daughter, he got into a relationship with Peng Xi, "I'll go to Shanweilou later, a few people can order, and then I will have a jar of good wine!" Have a good time, everyone! ”

"Where can I do it?"

"Yes, at least three altars!"

"Don't get drunk!" The six officials laughed.

Pan Wenchang felt a pain in his heart when he heard this, he always used a small wine glass to drink, so that a jar of wine would have to be poured for a while.

And a few officials drank with bowls, and they were all massive.

If it is to buy tea, Pan Wenchang, who likes to be elegant, doesn't think so.

But when he drank, he didn't think it was worth it.

"The official will stay here for a few days, and then go back to the county seat." Pan Wenchang raised his eyes and looked Pan Enhui up and down a few times and said: "When the time comes, Enhui can't wear this dress and go back with the official, there is no joke, Hu Bao, you go to the street to buy a few good silk and come back, and make a few beautiful dresses for Enhui." ”

"Yes!"

Hu Bao responded respectfully and left.
