In the afternoon of the same day, the Liujiazhuang compound was crowded with large tables. Among them, a table is piled with red paper. Mr. Dong Minfei, the bookkeeper, sat upright at the desk. Hold the pen like a god, and the pen is like flowing water. you

Look at him, stroke by stroke, like a phoenix floating in the clouds, wandering in the clouds and frightening the dragon. It is flowing water again, and it is three points into the wood. A brush of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, such as a printing plate engraved on paper. Neat, clean, at a glance

Clear.

Around the table, Dong Minfei has a family of six, two cutting paper, and two women folding paper paste. His wife, Yan Xiaohong, held an ink strip in her hand, added water to the inkstone, and grinded the ink in a circle. Mr. Bookkeeper per book

After writing and posting, the eldest son Dong Ming took it and clamped it with a clip. Hung on the clothes rope to dry the ink, and then the second son Dong Kai folded and sealed. The eldest girl Dong Juan, the second girl Dong Jie, origami

, folded paper, methodical, busy.

"Master, everyone is invited, and there are so many people who want to go. Distant relatives are not counted, each table is eight people plus one person and nine people per table, to say the least, there must be fifty or sixty tables!

Post, are you afraid that your family will not be able to keep busy?" he looked up and looked at his master, Master Liu.

Hearing this, Master Liu stroked his chin and beard and thought to himself. Without waiting for him to speak, the fourth wife, Xu Huaimei, stood aside and interjected: "Master, on a happy day, either only notify your relatives and relatives,

Either seven aunts and eight aunts, all of them are in charge. You have invited all the neighbors, but you have forgotten about them, I think it is a bit unreasonable. It's only more than ten heads and eight tables

。 One please, one uninvited. With your eyes close to your nose, you are not convinced. If you don't invite, people won't come. Because, if you invite others and don't invite him, that is, your Liu family looks down on people.

People come by themselves, of course, the dwarf is cut off, and the bowl is not squatting on your pot, why do you have to hold your thighs? Don't underestimate a paper invitation, if you don't get one, there will be many offends!"

In the Liu family compound, as long as the fourth wife and the third wife are present. There was always a time when the two of them knocked and answered. Listening to the words of the fourth wife, the third aunt always likes to follow others to join in the heat

Trouble. She seemed to echo the meaning of the fourth wife, and seemed to make up for the lack of the fourth wife's instructions. came behind Dong Minfei and said, "Ouch, I said master, you don't add grandchildren every day." The last layer

Let's let the big guys join in the fun! Lao Dong, you can do it according to what you have discussed with the master in advance. If you don't have enough manpower, you can spend more money to invite a few more! Money can make ghosts push

Grinding, what's so difficult? It's not just a matter of adding a few more pairs of chopsticks to multiple people. If you don't have enough tables to borrow, what's so difficult!"

When Master Liu heard it, hey, the three wives came out of the west in the sun today. Usually, he and Mrs. Fourth are either face-to-face, or butt-to-butt. The two never thought of one

Block. Obediently, it seems that at least one person has taken the wrong medicine today! Sun Xiufang is unusual, and seems to be the opposite of the generosity of the past. The old man couldn't hear the two of them chattering, poured

A little unaccustomed. If, in the past, how many people came, how many gifts were received. How many dishes are on each table, will it be a loss. Both of them asked Dong Minfei to be careful in his calculations. The courtesy arrangement is in the back room

, the polite one sat at a table on the wall. Say that people eat things, don't make money or pay, and always be able to make careful calculations for Liujiazhuang. I didn't mention anything about it today, could it be that both of them forgot

Remembered?

So, the old man said unhurriedly to the bookkeeper: "Lao Dong, don't talk about people who are thousands of miles away, the eldest girl Pandi, the second girl will come to Didi, and let me let them have their whole family."

Come back. Just bring them a message, and I'll take this opportunity to ask them why they can't come back to see their home. Could it be that the girl who went out was splashed out of the door?

Water. In their eyes, there really isn't an old bone like me. People, live to ninety-nine, and have to go to their parents' house to twist. Obediently, they are good, married and homeless. ”

"Back to my lord, local government officials, I have written invitations. Ma Dongjun, the leader of the Wujindang bandits, please or not, don't you say it, master, my old Dong really doesn't have a bottom in his heart. He looked

The old man, holding the pen in his hand, frowned.

"Well, these guys, bold. I heard that the fourth lady came home to report, today, she actually came and went twice, and sent someone to ambush my Liujiazhuang, and her arrogance was really a little arrogant. Please, be afraid of him

borrowed the topic to play, stiffened, and the happy event and festival did not end well. Don't invite, I'm afraid I won't get along well in the future. He will look down on Ugin Dang and look for things crookedly. As the saying goes, there is no better blessing than a curse

Not a single line. Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, who has a heart to guard against him every day. It's better to send the invitation as such. As for the tables, I will prepare them for them, and no one will refuse to come. If you don't come, I don't force it

。 I, Liujiazhuang, do things and don't say things to others. There are not enough maids to recruit again, and there are not enough maids to invite again. If you don't have enough tables, you won't have enough money, so come to me and get it. In short, don't leave others behind

Lower handle. The old Liu family doesn't want to be poked in the back by others. Silver, spending more and spending less is not a problem. The key is to have a pomp and circumstance, and let people give a thumbs up, which is the last word. "After that,

The old man left in a hurry, and he explained what the bookkeeper thought was very tricky.

Dong Minfei nodded again and again when he heard it: "Master, okay, I'll just do it." Where are the distant relatives, write a letter to your family to report the good news, and mail it over. Several wives

At home, I was the first to arrange for someone to report quickly. Wujindang bandit Ma Dongjun, whether he comes or not, the invitation is not wrong. The table was kept for them, and the table was opened on time when the time came. Ask the monk to set up a stage to worship the ancestors

, worship the Taoist priest and chant the scriptures. By the way, please invite the troupe to join in the fun. Are you still satisfied with this arrangement? After speaking, Mr. Bookkeeper, listen to Master Liu's instructions.

The old man thought for a moment. After a while, he nodded at the bookkeeper and said, "Well, that's all there is to it! Three tricks of rice, let the fourth lady be responsible for maintaining order. On the small western-style building

Add a sentry post, the only way to go, three steps and a post, five steps and a sentry. Real guns, loaded bullets. If the signs are wrong, shoot directly. First cut and then play, it is a big deal to ensure the safety and security of my Liujiazhuang. in a word

, no one is allowed to pretend to be my grandson's three tricks to do their own bad things. Remember this one!"

"Ahh Thank you for your advice, Lao Dong will go and tell the fourth lady. Dry shelf, still

The fourth lady is in the line, she won't get into trouble for three days, and the fourth miss is not calm. Let's leave this opportunity to Miss Four, and give her a chance to show her skills!"

The old man couldn't be happier. When it comes to it, Miss Four always likes to dress up as a man, sassy and heroic. The old man seemed to recall his former unruliness. Once upon a time, the father outside the staff was ten for him

At the age of four, Guo Dongmei started a family. She didn't get pregnant for three years, and under the introduction of the Guo family, she remarried her cousin Qiu Keyun. No one expected that this Qiu Keyun would be able to enter the door and come down for a year. I don't see my stomach for a long time

Grow up. Outside the staff, there is no bottom in my heart. You said that the eldest wife did not give birth first, and the second wife followed closely and did not raise it, so the first shot could not be fired. So, gossip, one brain again, smashed

To his father Liu Yuanwai. The father who has done good deeds and accumulated virtue all his life has been pointed at the backbone behind his back, scolding the father outside the staff, and he is kind and generous, but there is no artemisia on the ancestral tomb and no queen

He was once again pushed to the forefront by public opinion, became the target of public criticism, and was drowned in spit.

Continue to ask someone to talk to the matchmaker, and continue to remarry the third wife Sun Xiufang for yourself. Hey, don't say it: this third wife, Sun Xiufang, is the daughter of Sun Yuqing, the big landlord next door, who got married back then

Pregnant. Look at the eldest wife and the second wife, the sisters are happy one after another.

You said that the three wives were happy all of a sudden, and the father was so happy that he smiled all day long, and praised his daughter-in-law when he saw people. Until the eldest wife gave birth to Liu Shiwei, the second wife passed away

Three days later, Liu Zhilong was born, and the third wife gave birth to Liu Zhaodi after three days. The grandfather only got two grandchildren and a granddaughter, which year happened to be the 70th birthday of the grandfather. Ahh

, three joys are coming. Outside the staff dad, can't help but be happy!

After two years, the second wife gave birth to her granddaughter Liu Laidi, the fourth wife gave birth to her granddaughter Liu Laodi, and the eldest wife gave birth to her granddaughter Liu Pandi. So far, Liu Yuanwai's family has three grandchildren and four granddaughters. They are separated

It is the eldest wife Guo Dongmei's son Liu Shiwei and her daughter Liu Pandi, the second wife Qiu Keyun's son Liu Shilong and her daughter Liu Laidi, and the third wife's son Liu Shiquan and her daughter Liu Zhaodi

The fourth wife has a daughter Liu Laodi.

Even so, the father is not dead. He always hoped that the fourth wife, Xu Huaimei, would add a substitute for Liujiazhuang. He believes that the young and beautiful Xu Huaimei, the daughter of Jinshi, has Wenshui. violin

Chess, calligraphy and painting, knowledgeable and reasonable. Only, I can't give birth to a grandchild and a baby, and my father is unhappy. Until the end, he couldn't expect the fourth wife Xu Huaimei to have a grandson. Because of this

At this time, Liu Jiazhuang criticized the fourth wife for failing to make the old lady happy, and everyone criticized him. Therefore, the fourth wife is out of place with Liu Jiazhuang, and it is from that time that it begins. The third wife is the fourth wife

In between, the name comes and goes, and the water and fire are incompatible, and it is also from the time when the old lady was looking forward to his grandson.

Soon, his father became ill and passed away regretfully. In those years, there was no daylight, and the companion was like a tiger. knew that his father was an official for one term, and he was miserable. Master Liu chose to refuse to be an official,

Doing business to make money is intended to be ordinary people, proud of making a fortune, and controlling the world with real talent and learning. After several years of preparation, he traveled south and north to investigate the market. Learned about the common people, high

Officials and Houlu are inseparable from clothes and clothing, eating, drinking, and sleeping. As for local specialties, due to inconvenient transportation, some places are difficult to find, and some places cannot be sold in piles.

Master Liu, he moved to transport this brain essence. He raised his own funds and organized a merchant fleet to take charge of trafficking from north to south. After several years of hard work, Liujiazhuang finally became a street, and the people had enough food and clothing

, becoming a well-known treasure of wealth. If you marry a daughter, you will marry Liujiazhuang, and if you are looking for a daughter-in-law, you will find a big girl in Liujiazhuang. The seven-foot man went down to the kitchen to catch fish and hunt for food. Miss Young Master in the study, piano

Chess, calligraphy and painting in the heart. Since then, no one has dared to be disrespectful to Liujiazhuang.

To say that the eldest wife Guo Dongmei, the eldest daughter of Guo Shoutian, the former Guo Jiashe opera troupe. Like her sister Guo Dongping, she has followed her parents since she was a child and traveled north and south. He is talented in performing local operas and Huai operas in northern Jiangsu

。 Blowing, playing and singing, all in one. On that day, because his father was celebrating his 40th birthday, his colleagues showed their magic in order to curry favor. Some people give silver to sing on stage, and some people give up silver to send horses and guns,

Some people even want to give away their own girls. It's just that my father is strong-blooded, no matter what you send me, I will only accept it, the bottom line is that I can't promise you to mess with my dynasty.

My father's reason is very simple, I will accept the gift and return it in the future. Send the girl to avoid talking, I am afraid that these virtues in you will be brought to the Liu Mansion by your girl, and my Liu family will be loyal and good for generations. Big yes

Da Fei, the father outside the staff can see it clearly. Regardless of the bureaucracy and the party, Mao Sui recommended himself every day. The matchmaker proposed marriage and ran through the threshold. My father always prevaricated and refused to answer. Until my father was forty years old

On the birthday of the year, on this day, he saw the eldest girl of the Guo Jiashe opera troupe, and his eyes lit up. The play was not over yet, so I hurriedly called the bookkeeper to discuss. The two hit it off and gave a dowry that night.

The next day, the eight-person sedan chair was carried back to Guo Dongmei, the eldest girl of the Guo family.

In which year, Guo Dongmei was sixteen and he was fourteen. The two of them don't know what the round house is all about. Dongmei has not been pregnant for a long time, and I don't know how many times she has been scolded by her parents. If you don't fight back, you don't scold back, and you are wronged

, a person buried his head in the quilt and cried all night. It wasn't until the third wife passed the door that the eldest lady, who was depressed and sick, was excited and tears blurred that day. She grabbed the master's hand, and with courage,

Tell it alive and tremble. The reason why he failed to get pregnant was that Master Liu didn't understand what was going on with his daughter. Because, every time, the eldest lady can feel that there is someone else. nevertheless

She can't see it, she can't touch it, and who will believe it. But the reason for not getting pregnant, the eldest wife can be sure that there is nothing wrong with herself. Master Liu listened to the words of the eldest lady and pondered it carefully

Grinding, there is indeed such a thing. Every time I have a room with the eldest wife, I always feel like there is a gap between them. But every time he didn't see him.

Soon, Mr. Liu married his second wife, Qiu Keyun. What happened to the eldest wife Guo Dongmei continued to appear in Qiu Keyun. The cousins often whispered, although they did not dare to get along

The master said it directly, but the cousins had nothing to say. I found two daughters-in-law in a row, but none of them gave birth, and seeing that the second wife and Master Liu had been married for almost a year, there was still no movement in my stomach.

This time, the father of the staff was anxious. The family members said that there was always someone to comfort them: there is no hurry, it should be late. But outsiders don't think so: Ah, what's wrong with this Liu Yuanwai's house

It is said that no daughter is a small absolute, which means a lack of virtue; no son is a great absolute; people who have no children and no daughters are called the eight generations of absolutes. You said that a good person like Master Liu would not be without

Is it true that good people don't last long, and evil people do evil for a thousand years?

Ah, this Liu Yuan's ears can afford to hear calluses. He was not convinced! So he invited the seven aunts and eight aunts to discuss in private, and the so-called family ugliness should not be publicized. Behind closed doors, find out why. outcome

It was still grandma who took the claim. Go find a Taoist priest, Mr. Geographic. Take a look at whether the homestead is out of the problem. So, Liu Yuanwai asked people everywhere to find the famous old monk, old Taoist priest, and fairy milk

milk, etc. The silver was spent stubble after stubble, but there was not a single rice or bean. Charlatans, either cheating on eating or drinking. Nonsense, a lot of bad talk. The daughter-in-law in the two rooms is not pregnant, root

Ben can't get on the side. can make the father of the staff confused, and any monks and Taoist grandmothers come over, and the family will be driven out of the Liu family compound. These charlatans are useless to talk about. ear

If you don't listen, you won't be upset!

One day, the grandfather took his grandmother to Grandma's maiden house in the hazy tower to give gifts. When I came back and passed through Erlang Mountain, it was already evening. The father who was in a hurry was suddenly killed in a carriage

The white-bearded old man on horseback stood in the way. The handlebar hurriedly called the galloping horse, and stopped immediately with a "whoo". The handlebar type hurriedly got out of the car, but here it can only be the width of a car, and it is a dilemma. Handlebar grip

Scratching the head, the skill of the donkey, I really can't think of a good way.

Looking up at the old man again, I saw that the man was over seventy years old, with white hair up to his waist. Ride a tall white horse and wear a white coat and trousers. He wears a hat on his head and a robe. On the back, on the back

Wrapped in a package, plus a green dragon sword. The old man rode on a horse, wiped his chest-length beard with his right hand, and smiled at the handlebar style: "Housheng, why are you in the way?"

"Hey, you old man, you're so rude. I am equal to you, there is no grudge today, no enmity in the past, how can I talk about being a doer. It's getting late, and I'm in a hurry. I didn't think about meeting here,

It was an unintentional road collision. You don't see that I'm trying to make way for you. Besides, why do you say that we are in the way? As far as we are concerned, sir, you are not in the way of others going home

What about the way!"

Outside the staff, the father can hear the handlebar style in the passer-by. hurriedly got out of the carriage, didn't say a word, and directly criticized the handlebar style: "Little Er, you are rude." How do I teach you on weekdays?

The so-called courtesy is the first of three and humility. Don't you look at the other party's old man? He is young, so why is it unseemly to compete with the old man. Come, help Mrs. get out of the car. I've waited for three

People, lift the carriage up, blow the ashes, the old man and the horse, immediately walked by. And the old man has one man and one horse, do you want him to raise the strength of one person and carry the horse to make way for me?"

Xiao Eryu stopped: "Master, it's him ......"

"Alright, do as I say!" So, the three of them first took their horses to the side of the road. Halfway up the carriage to make way for an aisle. Xiao Er exerted his strength to eat milk and shouted at the old man

"Okay, we'll give way to you, so hurry over!"

Unexpectedly, the old man smiled: "Alas, I said that you are the three masters and servants." Who told you that I had to go over? You said you were in the way, and they didn't tell you that I had to go this way.

Go backwards, it's also called the road!" After speaking, the old man didn't look back, turned the horse's head directly, and walked in front of the old man coming home.

The three of them tried a lot of effort to let the old man pass. Unexpectedly, the old man turned the horse's head and walked in front of him, causing the three of them to work in vain for a while. Xiao Er didn't dare to complain, and he was angry

Sulking: You said that this old man is clearly playing tricks! Perhaps, this white-bearded old man is looking for something today. Knowing I'm waiting

In a hurry, he walked carelessly. You have to be patient with such people, what do you think in your heart? Obviously, this old man is bullying.

So, the handlebar deliberately tore his throat and waved the horsewhip: "Drive", hoping that the old man would hear his voice and hide to the side. The staff looked at the old man and muttered in his heart: This person

Could it be that he is really looking for trouble? On second thought, alas, how could it be. I, Liujiazhuang, have never offended anyone, not to mention, the old man is pleasant, not like a good man. Dressed up, it's like

The Taoist priest went out of the mountain. He hurriedly called the stop handlebar: "Xiao Er, you stop for me." ”

Xiao Er hurriedly stopped: "Outside, what do you command?"

"Oh, you and Madame go first, I think this old gentleman is extraordinary. When I go down and talk to him, I will know why he is embarrassed to wait with me today. With that, he slowly got out of the car and trotted

to catch up with the old man. "Old man, please stay, please stay!" the old man's head did not fall, but he saw that the horse stopped immediately. The staff came to the old man's horse, led the horse, and led the way in front. "Old man

Raw, don't be surprised. Probably, your horse, is just arriving. I am not familiar with this road, so I am a little cautious when I walk. I'll take it by the hand, and maybe someone will be brave enough to go

Gotta hurry. "The old man knows that the old man did it deliberately, so he wants to repay his grievances with virtue and resolve the unhappiness in the hearts of the people. You don't care why they do it, because they must have a reason to do it

Composed. Otherwise, there will be no rash acts.

Without waiting for the old man to speak, the group walked to the gate of the Liu family's compound in the blink of an eye. Alas, strange enough, before I spoke, I was still three miles away from home. Before I could finish this sentence, I arrived home

Daddy looked at it again, and touched it right. The horse is still the reins of the old man he leads. Man, still the gray-haired old man who is full of energy. Look at their husband again

People, Xiao Er, a picture is the same, and the staff is a little confused. Similarly, Xiao Er and Mrs. were relatively speechless. showed the same inexplicable surprise as the outside father.

At this moment, the old man gave the outside father a yellow character. It reads: On the edge of the ancestral hall of the Liu family in the southwest corner of Liujiazhuang, there is a thousand-year-old white fruit tree. On the right side of the ginkgo tree is the millennium

Changed into a temple of land. The staff built the Liu family ancestral hall, retaining the white fruit tree, but did not take into account the land temple. Later, the land temple was moved to the southeast corner of Liujiazhuang, adjacent to Jing'an Temple. The land lord wants one

I think it's okay. Besides, the other person doesn't know that the side of the white fruit tree is the territory of my land master.

But it was a coincidence. In a few days, people will build Maleang Temple again, I will drop it, this time the land lord really can't stand it. Hurry up again and again, you Liu Yuanwai have to let me land lord and follow your Liu family

The rhythm of the village walks. My land lord, where is his face? The land lord has long been dissatisfied, and many times he teamed up with his friend Pan Xin to make it difficult for the two young ladies to make it impossible for them to get pregnant. These are the two wives

, I always feel absent-minded when Master Liu rounds the room. In fact, it was the land lord who invited Panxin to make a stumbling block. This is the land lord who made chaos in the world, and governed Liujiazhuang in unkindness and injustice. Cut off its lineage

Replace the root in order to show revenge. Therefore, you have to choose an auspicious day of the zodiac and set up a stage to burn incense. To the sky, crying about the land master's crimes, this is a heavenly opportunity that cannot be revealed.

After reading it, the old man, along with the horses, disappeared silently and out of thin air. Xiao Er and his wife were so frightened that they trembled. They all thought that a catastrophe was coming, because there were ghosts on the way.

"What a good thing this is, sir. Madame was at a loss, and looked at the white-bearded old man, not even a man and a horse, not even a shadow. It's a blessing or a curse, and I feel a little sad in my heart.

The father knows that this is a great thing, because it is God's arrangement to rescue the gods on the road. He wanted to explain to his wife, lest the old man repeatedly tell him: Don't leak the secret of heaven. thereupon

, although the lady was afraid, Xiao Er was frightened. Outside the father, according to the old man's instructions, invite the monk to set up a stage to recite the scriptures.

After half a year, the four wives became pregnant one after another. When I was born, I was the first to give birth to my eldest wife Guo Dongmei. Other wives, in an orderly order. Everyone felt strange, only the staff

Daddy, I know it. At this point, a farce of women not giving birth has ended successfully. However, the fourth wife, Xu Huaimei, failed to do so in the end.

Now, when Mr. Liu thinks back to the beginning, he shudders. If it weren't for the guidance of the immortal by the father, it is estimated that the four wives would definitely not have good fruits to eat. Alas, the past is unbearable.

With this alone, getting a grandson today is also worth a big deal. Supporting the right and suppressing the evil and promoting justice is the bottom line of Liujiazhuang's life.

Thinking of this, Master Liu walked to find the handlebar-style big country: "Big country, you won't go anywhere today, follow the master to buy tonight's burning red blessing, matching things." Remember, lead the horse

Just do it. To go shopping on the street, you don't need to catch a horse-drawn carriage. ”

The big son is bathing the horse: "Oh, sir, I know!"

The old man thought for a while: "Also, don't forget to bring two baskets, which will put things in them." ”

"Got it, sir, I'll be there in a moment. ”
