Chapter 70: Spoiling
After entering Houshantun, the villagers who greeted Chu Saburo along the way continued one after another, which shows that his popularity is very good.
The villagers looked at Jiang Cheng'er with a smile, and someone quipped: "San Lang, I'm back with my daughter-in-law, when will I drink happy wine." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, this is my sister-in-law, who was invited by me to sell soap." Chu Sanlang proudly introduced Jiang Cheng'er.
The last time Jiang Cheng'er entered his house, she almost became his daughter-in-law, but now she has become his sister-in-law. At this moment, when asked by the villagers about her identity, he was inevitably a little disappointed, but more calmly. He is a person who can afford to put it down, and he knows that he can't do it, so he won't dwell on it anymore.
Thinking of what happened to the original owner, Jiang Cheng'er's mood was a little complicated.
As soon as the villagers heard that the artifact in Chu's mother's mouth was coming, they all curiously gathered around to see it, and Chu Sanlang asked everyone to spread the news, and those who wanted to watch or buy soap went to his door to gather.
This group of people followed behind Chu Sanlang and Jiang Cheng'er, and when they arrived at the door of Chu's house, there was also a group of people waiting.
Jiang Cheng'er secretly said that Chu's mother's propaganda is very strong, and she is a spicy and shrewd woman at a glance, and she should also have appeal in the village.
The fence wall of the Chu family is tall and sturdy, and the gate is made of wooden planks, which is a grade higher than the fence gates of other villagers' houses. Several sons of the Chu family are hardworking and capable, some are carpenters, some are bricklayers, and they clean up the house like a living.
The sons and daughters of the Chu family are all good-looking, and they like girls, even if they have no money in the family because they are for Xiao Wu to study, they will not marry a daughter-in-law for the five brothers.
In this regard, Jiang Cheng'er was a little puzzled.
She didn't have time to think about it, the three brothers of the Chu family separated the crowd and came over to greet her warmly.
Jiang Cheng'er walked up to Chu's mother, and Yingying saluted: "Orange has seen my aunt, thank you for helping me take the lead." In the past, I repeatedly gave my brothers soap and asked them to bring it back for you to wash your clothes, but they would not accept it. You're helping me promote soap now, but I don't have a sample, which makes you embarrassed. ”
"Girl, you're here, my aunt has been looking forward to you." Mother Chu was very happy to see Jiang Cheng'er today, with a loving smile on her face, "There is no real thing, which makes people even more curious, and the villagers can't wait to see where the soap is." ”
Jiang Cheng'er took out a piece of soap from the bucket and explained its purpose to the villagers.
The four sons and daughters of the Chu family had seen Zhao Sanpo demonstrate washing with soap on the spot, so there was no need for Jiang Cheng'er to say, Chu Shilang brought out a basin of water, and Chu Erlang found a dirty laundry.
Through the demonstration, Jiang Chenger let the villagers see the decontamination effect of soap with their own eyes.
The villagers, who were originally very interested in soap, were completely boiling now, and praised the soap for its beautiful appearance, wide use, and good effect, and it was really a divine object, which did not disappoint them.
Jiang Cheng'er didn't want to deliberately exaggerate the effect of using soap, but to tell the truth, the villagers praised her for being humble and sincere.
Yes, Jiang Cheng'er is not surprised, and the ancient people who saw soap for the first time naturally thought it was very novel.
With the approval of customers, things sold much smoother, and by noon, more than one of the two barrels of soap was sold.
Chu Mu asked the people present to deliver the news to the villagers who did not come, and they wanted to buy it as soon as possible in the afternoon.
Seeing these people away, Mother Chu very kindly took Jiang Cheng'er's arm and took her into the house to sit.
The snacks specially prepared for Jiang Cheng'er had already been placed on the table, the millet sugar cake steamed by Chu's mother herself, the red wild fruits picked by Chu Jia'er Lang from the mountain, and the green and tender bamboo leaf tea, which were very thoughtful.
Mother Chu quickly fried four side dishes with her hands and feet, and scooped out the stewed pheasant with mushrooms stewed in the clay pot, which had both meat and vegetables. Paired with a few wheat flour, cornmeal and corn flour mixed together, golden small cakes will taste fragrant and fragrant.
Jiang Cheng'er looked at this table of food, at most this is the standard for the New Year, it should be something they are usually reluctant to eat.
Jiang Cheng'er wanted to stay and have a homely meal, but she didn't expect it to be so grand, she couldn't help it: "Auntie, let you break the bank." ”
Mother Chu said gently: "Girl, when you say this, you will see the outside, you are very happy to come to your aunt, and I can't wait to take out all the good things to entertain you." It's just that our family is poor, so it's good if you don't dislike it.
Don't put chopsticks, eat more, this pheasant was hunted by Da Lang last night after squatting on the mountain all night, and he said to give his sister a taste. ”
Jiang Cheng'er was moved in her heart, and under Chu Dalang's expectant gaze, she sandwiched a piece of pheasant meat and boasted: "Well, it's so fragrant, my aunt's cooking skills are really good." ”
Chu's mother beckoned Jiang Cheng'er to eat more, and the four brothers of the Chu family looked at Jiang Cheng'er with a smile, their eyes were full of spoiling, and the atmosphere in the room was very warm.
Jiang Cheng'er turned around and asked, "Auntie, what about Chu Wulang, why haven't you seen him all this time?" ”
Jiang Cheng'er's sister was still kept in the dark, and the four sons of the Chu family pursed their lips and snickered.
There was also a mysterious smile on the corner of Chu Mu's lips: "Xiao Wu, he eats in the village at noon, and he can only come back in the evening." ”
Chu Sanlang raised his eyebrows and continued: "Sister, in fact, you have already seen Xiao Wu." ”
Jiang Cheng'er was puzzled, is there any, she doesn't remember where she saw Chu Xiaowu?
Jiang Cheng'er thought about it and asked tentatively: "Wulang won't be - Mr. Chu Yunfan Chu." ”
Chu Mu smiled and nodded: "It's that stupid boy, he won't let us tell you." ”
Jiang Cheng'er slapped her head: "Uh, I'm stupid, I should have guessed that it was him." It's all because of my habitual thinking, and I thought that his name was postponed, and his name was Chu Wulang, and he looked like his brothers. ”
Chu Erlang covered his mouth and smiled: "Many people say that we are not like Xiao Wu's own brothers, but like him...... Guards. ”
Chu Mu's chopsticks "bell" touched the edge of the plate, and her eyes flickered almost imperceptibly.
Chu Sanlang said humorously: "It's no wonder that the girl can't recognize Xiao Wu, he is crooked, like a small bean sprout." ”
Jiang Cheng'er pursed her lips: "Hey, I don't bend my mind, when I first saw Mr. Chu, I didn't think about it." His otherworldly temperament, like a heavenly immortal, made me unconsciously ignore his identity.
Yesterday I was a little suspicious, and the third and fourth brothers met with Mr. Chu, pretending not to know each other, and confused me. Today, I learned that Mr. Chu is also the son of his aunt, and his aunt is really blessed to give birth to five excellent sons in a row. ”
Mother Chu was amused: "Xiao Wu is a god in the sky, then my wife will not be the queen mother, haha, or orange can speak, five muddy boys are not as intimate as a girl." Orange, it sounds like you have a good impression of Xiao Wu. ”
"Well, Mr. Chu is good, knowledgeable, assertive, courageous, and has a kind and benevolent heart, which is worthy of admiration." Jiang Cheng'er praised from the bottom of her heart.
Mother Chu was very pleased, and went straight to the point: "Orange, so you like Xiao Wu, is it okay for you to marry him?" ”
Jiang Cheng'er was so shocked that she almost squirted out a sip of tea, and politely refused: "Auntie, you're joking." The third brother mentioned this matter yesterday, and I have already made it clear what I mean, Mr. Chu's fairy-like character, my small village girl is not worthy of him. ”
Mother Chu shook her head: "No, Orange, I'm serious, I found someone to calculate the hexagram, and you and the Chu family have a constant fate." As you sit here today, I feel that the atmosphere is very harmonious, and we are a family.
The more I look at you, the more I like it, your four brothers love you in their hearts, Xiao Wu has a deep love for you, we all regard you as the pearl of our palms, and you will never be wronged when you marry. ”
Jiang Cheng'er smacked her tongue: "Wait, aunt, you may have misunderstood, I have only known Mr. Chu for a few days, how can he have a deep affection for me?" ”
Chu Sanlang picked up the conversation: "Mother, you are too anxious, let the sister eat first, don't be cold." Girl, I'll show you a few things later, and you'll understand. ”
Jiang Cheng'er's heart was up and down, Chu Sanlang changed the topic and said something interesting to distract Jiang Cheng'er's attention.
After the meal, Chu Sanlang led Jiang Cheng'er to Xiao Wu's room, and there were elegant and poetic ink paintings on the walls, which were better than the best decorations. The dappled sunlight shines on the simple and clean interior, adding a bit of warmth.
Jiang Cheng'er couldn't help but think of the famous sentence in "The Burrow", "Si is the Burrow, but I am Dexin", Chu Yunfan, who lives here, is a person of noble character.
On the simple bookcase against the wall, there was a painting folded, which Chu Saburo gently opened and presented in front of Jiang Cheng'er.
There is a plain woman painted on it, with willow eyebrows and starry eyes, a shallow smile, and a faint light that blends liveliness and coldness in her expression. The woman's slender hand was raised lightly, holding a light bubble in her palm.
Jiang Cheng'er was surprised, Mr. Chu painted as if it was her, but it was a little more beautiful than herself. His painting is excellent, delicate and expressive.
He drew the scene when he met her for the first time, chasing soap bubbles to the fence wall, and inadvertently saw a beautiful young man passing by.
The two looked at each other across the wall, she was deeply amazed, and couldn't help but praise her, popping out a string of titles, and the little male god blushed.
Jiang Cheng'er said to herself: "Hehe, Mr. Chu should draw a drooling little pervert." ”
Chu Saburo couldn't help laughing, and then picked up a note from the table, on which were two big characters "Jiang Cheng'er" in graceful and elegant.
Hey, isn't this her writing, I remember a few days ago when she went to borrow pen and ink from the old teacher in the village, the old gentleman tested her and asked her to write.
Chu Sanlang said in a condensed voice: "Xiao Wu and I have nothing to talk about, I know what is on his mind." He first looked at your beautiful font and was impressed, and then he was impressed by your courage to fight against the patriarchal world and dare to be the first in the world. You are the kind of partner he likes, who can resonate with him spiritually. ”
Jiang Cheng'er Khan: "But we have only known each other for a few days, and it is too early for him to draw this conclusion." It's normal for teenagers to like a girl at the beginning of their love, but it's just that they like it, and they may not be able to be their lifelong partners. ”
"I know Xiao Wu, he is a very single-minded person. How many girls have revolved around him before, he has never looked at it squarely, and he has devoted himself to reading, and has earned the nickname of a nerd.
