Chapter 14: Happy Events
"How! What do you think? It's been in for so long, why hasn't there been any movement, nothing will happen"
"Dad, I said can you stop walking around, you are always shaking in front of my eyes, I am dizzy."
"Stinky boy, can I not be in a hurry!" The old man paced back and forth in the cloister, not idle.
"Huh?" The old man suddenly stopped his steps, he found that he was in a hurry here, but his son was sitting there with his heart fixed, and suddenly a nameless fire rushed to his heart. He stared at his son, pointed at him with the handle of the fan, blew his beard and glared: "I said stinky boy, why aren't you in a hurry?" ”
"My dear father, I'm not in a hurry! I'm not in a hurry. The young man seemed to be really angry when he saw the old man, and he couldn't cry or laugh, so he quickly stood up.
"Wow, wow, wow"
At this moment, a few cries resounded through the courtyard.
The two big eyes in the cloister stared at each other, and no one reacted for a while.
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
"Congratulations to the young master, congratulations to the young master!"
The woman who looked like an old mother pushed the door out, her face full of joy.
"Master, young master, congratulations, congratulations, the young lady has added a little young master to the house, mother and son are safe!"
"Haha, haha, ahhahahahaha, stinky boy, did you hear it, mother and son are safe!"
An old man and a young master, they are so happy that their eyebrows are flying, and they are not visible. The whole house was also cheering, and the beautiful words of congratulations were endless. The two of them didn't care about anything else, so they raised their feet and were about to rush to the delivery room. Fortunately, the old mother quickly grabbed the two of them one by one, and hurriedly reported: "Ouch, old master and young master, you can't go in yet, the young lady is not convenient, I am afraid that you will be in a hurry to report first." After saying that, he pushed the two of them, immediately closed the door, and turned them away.
The old man smiled, obviously a little embarrassed, and then yelled: "Come on!" Reward! As if to save face, this call was sonorous and powerful.
Hearing the master's supreme order, the whole house was even more boiling.
"Dad, I'm a dad? I'm a dad! The young master finally came back to his senses from the great happiness, and after shouting twice, he gasped heavily, touched the pillars of the corridor, and sat down slowly, but he was still muttering: "I'm a father"
Andrew's family was busy all night, and many of them stayed up all night. The old lady got up early in the morning and prepared breakfast for everyone, which was much more hearty than usual. After a full meal, the old man ordered everyone to open the door, sprinkle water and clean it, and sent a housekeeper to invite the town's chef to slaughter cattle and pigs, and send the fruits and vegetables and wine he bought to the kitchen in waves. Except for the young lady and the young master, the rest of the people are either preparing to welcome guests or busy in the kitchen. The master led the young master butler and the two servants to arrange the middle hall properly, and the tables were all set up, and then rested in the front hall, waiting for the guests to come to the door. The old woman led a group of maids and old mothers in the back kitchen, processing the ingredients and preparing the feast.
It didn't take long for the number of visitors to start coming. Andrew's family is in Woma Town, located in the northwest of the Western Continent, which is not a prosperous town. There is no special output in Woma Town, and there are no big families. Andrew's family runs a medicinal herb business, and there is another shop for consultations. There are usually acquaintances who seek medical treatment, or ask for a few uncommon medicinal herbs, and Andrew's family has helped a lot of people over the years, mainly the villagers of Woma Town, so their family's popularity in the town is very good. There are no rich and noble people who come and go, most of them are neighbors or friends and relatives. Most of the gifts given are ordinary items, such as fruits, eggs, ornaments, silk, and so on.
The young lady gave birth last night, and it was difficult to fall asleep in the early morning, so naturally she couldn't be disturbed. The old master and the young master were also busy all night, but they were in excellent spirits, and they responded to the words that people were in good spirits on happy occasions. The two of them greeted the guests at the gate, and whoever came had to say a few auspicious words, and then the butler invited them into the courtyard.
"Congratulations, Will, I heard that your daughter-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy, congratulations, hahahahaha." At this time, it was an old friend of Andrew Weir's who came to the door.
"Hahahaha, thank you so much, please come in, I have invited the chef of Eric Restaurant, I must not get drunk today."
"It must be, this is a small gift I prepared, but it can't be too little."
"Where are you from, old butler, quickly invite the guests in, so that you can entertain them."
"Okay!" The butler greeted him with a yes.
"By the way, Keller can't get away with something, so he asked me to bring a congratulatory note, and by the way, he also gave a gift, and he came to congratulate him when he came back."
"Okay, come in." Andrew Will took the congratulatory note and welcomed the guest through the door.
I was busy when suddenly there was a clang in the backyard, and then there was some noise, as if someone had a quarrel. After a while, a little servant came running from the backyard and whispered a few words beside the butler. The old butler remained silent, still smiling on his face, and approached the master as he bowed his hand to one of the guests, and when he got up, he whispered a few words in Will's ear. Will naturally noticed the change, and was paying attention intently, and when he heard what the butler said, he immediately knew it, gave his son a look, and naturally walked to the atrium with a guest.
Will walked all the way, and as soon as he entered the backyard, he saw the kitchen door, two small servants were grabbing one person on the left and one on the right. This person is in shabby shape, his hair and beard are messy, his clothes are also extremely sloppy, almost all of them are broken into strips of cloth, he can't see the original color for a long time, he gets closer, and he will smell a stench mixed with alcohol. A few steps away from them was a broken jar of wine, and the wine was fragrant. Will saw the situation and roughly understood what was going on.
It turned out that this man was a well-known drunkard in Woma Town. It is rumored that he was also a rich kid when he was young, but suddenly his family fell into the middle of the road, and his subordinates were scattered, and all the valuable items in the family were sold, except for a dilapidated house, there was nothing left. And this man was devastated from then on, and spent his days in madness, living on wine. I think it was he who saw so much wine from Andrew's family today, which attracted him here, and he was captured by his subordinates.
Will sighed, and did not speak, but beckoned an old woman, and asked her to take two small jars of wine, and wrapped a roast chicken and some fruits and vegetables, and brought them to the wine leper, and asked someone to send him out, and then hurried to the front yard. Although the subordinates were puzzled, they thought that it was because there was a happy event in the house, and the lord did not want to cause more trouble, so he did what he said, and he revealed it.
