But the problem is, Zhong Shuo has no money. If there is no support from the family, there is generally no money.

And Zhong Shuo's talent and mediocre face are equally famous for his poverty.

As Huang Shan's most proud disciple, Huang Shandu only exempted him from tuition so that he could continue to learn. He also gave him some work such as teaching and painting, so as to maintain the living expenses he needed when he was studying.

You must know that pen and ink inkstones all cost money, and paper is so expensive in this era that people are scared to death, but bamboo slips also cost money. After writing a typo, scrape it with a small carving knife, which also costs money.

This time he came to attend the banquet, and it is said that he wore his usual clothes, and took the initiative to give up the upper seat and sit down at the lower table.

Xining shook the fan and began to think, but Miss Wang didn't dare to urge, so she knelt down and waited.

It seems that Wang Xiaoniang can't start there, after all, people are mothers. Instead, he asked: "Your uncle Deng seems to have come quite late this time, and he has been delayed for a month, right?" ”

Miss Wang responded: "After transcribing the dowry list, my uncle took the list and went to the grange once to see whose property these places are now. As a result, one of the shops has been sold! ”

No wonder it was delayed for a month, not only did I go to investigate, but I also discussed it with my family.

If you are a careful and intelligent person, it will be much easier to do. Xining couldn't help but smile......

When Master Deng arrived at the palace, as soon as he saw Master Wang, he performed the same ceremony according to the rules.

The etiquette is quite thorough, but the tone is very polite: "I heard that your lady is now looking for a son-in-law for my niece, saying that no matter the peddler or pawn, as long as you can afford a dowry of five thousand taels of silver!" ”

Master Wang was stunned: "It's impossible, there won't be such a thing." ”

Master Deng sneered, and his fingers seemed to be trembling with anger pointing out of the door: "Then you can inquire outside, and it will be spread all over the outside." Now the old man who is seventy or eighty years old, everyone who is rich, wants to scrape together enough money to marry my niece home and become a little grandmother. My niece is your daughter, not picked up from outside. Your Wang family can afford to lose this face, but my Deng family can't afford to lose it. If you want to sell your daughter for money, then let me take her back to her grandmother, and let my mother make the decisions for this poor child who has lost her mother early! ”

Master Deng took out the list of dowries from his sleeve and slapped it on the table: "Take these out, I will take them away with people today, and from now on, I will not violate the river water with your Wangjia's well water." ”

Master Wang hurriedly smiled: "Uncle, don't be angry. Wherever there is such a thing, it must be misinformation. ”

turned to stretch his face: "Come on, call Wang Niangzi." ”

Wang Xiaoniang got the letter, where do you dare to go, this old man Deng slapped the dowry list on the table, wasn't he just looking for trouble in the past. Tui said that he was not feeling well, but he went over, and let Master Wang entertain him well.

When Master Deng heard this, he sneered: "It's good to find a rich son-in-law, but when I see my uncle, who has not bothered me for more than ten years, I feel unwell." Isn't this self-defeating? ”

Old Man Wang's face was long, and he basically understood what was going on. But he still scolded: "If she is not feeling well, then call the mother-in-law next to her to come over, and the master will ask!" ”

"No need!" Master Deng sat there on his knees, holding his waist straight and holding his head high: "Isn't it just to take my sister-in-law's dowry to supplement my mother's family!" She entered the Wang family, although she was not very good to my niece, but she had no credit and hard work. I won't be embarrassed, just say it, give time to make it up slowly. You don't have to come up with a bad trick to sell my niece for money, right? ”

"Uncle, it must be a misunderstanding, misunderstanding ......" At this time, Master Wang could only smile and laugh, and shouted diligently: "Go and kill the head sheep and leave the eldest uncle to eat." ”

"No need for rice!" Master Deng released his cruel words: "My niece is from the Wang family, her surname is Wang, and it is natural for your mother to agree to the family affairs." But all the dowry will go to my niece, and she will marry and take it away with her. If the person I am looking for is not my niece's favorite, my Deng family is not easy to bully. Your lady dares to marry my niece indiscriminately, I will bring someone to break your lady's leg and paint her face, the big deal is that I will eat a lawsuit and be exiled to the border to fill the army. ”

He was also exiled to the border pass to fill the army, which is not far from the border pass. The Deng family is a wealthy family in the local area, and it is better than the Wang family. Otherwise, where did he get so much silver to marry back then, and the Wang family also relied on these dowry expenses to have spare money to do business and start a family.

Master Wang softened vigorously: "Where, where, uncle." If she doesn't dare, if she dares, I'll break her leg first. ”

Master Deng rolled his eyes: "Tell you, surnamed Wang, I haven't told my mother about this here." If you let my niece be wronged and off my mother, she will throw a handful of old bones at your house. Just watch it out! ”

Now the old man Wang is even more sincerely afraid, Han respects the elderly, governs the country with courtesy and filial piety, and all the elderly over 70 years old can be exempted from petty crimes such as petty theft, and those who beat people and kill people by mistake will be punished lightly.

The deceased wife is the youngest daughter of the Deng family, and the eldest brother is 20 years apart, and there are three brothers and two sisters above. Back then, I also took a fancy to this dowry and the Deng family's many sons and blessings, so I sincerely proposed.

Calculating the age, Mrs. Deng has long passed the age of seventy. Everyone is afraid of this coming.

Master Wang immediately pulled Master Deng's sleeve so that he could say: "Uncle, this mother-in-law is very old, and this place is far away, so don't dare to bother her." I personally inquired about this matter, and I will definitely give an explanation. "I almost didn't call my uncle uncle.

patted his chest and packed the ticket: "I must satisfy my eldest brother." ”

"Hmph, that's for the best!" Master Deng stood up, tucked the dowry list back into his sleeve, and brushed it away.

Seeing off Master Deng, Master Wang wiped the sweat on his forehead. Thinking of what he said just now, he couldn't help but be angry, strode out of the living room, and went to find the mother-in-law who was full of interests.

The dead man sent the word to the painting.

Hua'er nodded: "It's hard work." ”

The dead man looked left and right to see that there was no one, so he left the window and hid on the beam of the house beside him.

Hua'er turned to Miss Wang, who was practicing painting, smiled, and whispered, "Master Deng has gone to Master Wang." Master Wang went to your little lady just now, and it is said that there was a big fuss, and Wang Xiaoniang was slapped in the face. ”

Miss Wang was surprised: "My father has never beaten anyone, and he is also very fond of Xiaoniang." ”

In the end, he has a good appearance, gave birth to two children, manages the family "in an orderly manner", and never let Master Wang worry about it at home. also gave his dowry maids to be concubines, so that Master Wang could enjoy the blessings of all people, what else?
