Chapter 004: Where Did the Money Come From?
The kitchen has a window, facing the yard, Liu stares at the kitchen window like a thief, and a pair of eyes stare at the kitchen window from time to time to see if she has seen it. Inside the house, Chu Jianniang was holding a pu fan and fanning the smoke inside, while covering her mouth and coughing, she looked like she didn't see anything.
When the meal was ready and served, it was a little more hearty than in the morning, with a bowl of mushroom soup and a plate of roll skin. should eat without saying a word, and the Wei family's meals are always quite harmonious and regular.
Jiang Feng and Jiang Yu left the table after drinking the porridge as usual, and followed by Liu. This noon was fine, I didn't find an excuse to go out, and in the afternoon, after the smoke of every household came up, the reason for the Liu family came.
said that he went to the village chief's house to borrow a buffalo, and when it was time to plow the land, he would use people to pull it; By the way, I took Jiang Feng and Jiang Yu to meet the matchmaker to see if there was a good partner to talk to.
This is a good reason, Father Wei nodded again and again, and even put down the chopsticks.
"Feng'er and Yu'er's affairs, it's time to talk about it in advance, get married early, and let's work less."
"Yes, a few days ago, the matchmaker also came to me and mentioned to me the daughter of Li Tu*'s family in the east of Qiaoshan Village. I can secretly go to see, there is a lot of oil and water in the house, but the girl's face has a large scar out of the mother's womb, I looked at the panic, so I retreated, and then I will ask if there is a suitable one. β
"Okay, Feng'er Yu'er, you follow your mother to meet someone."
"Yes, Daddy." Jiang Yu deserves sweetness.
"Then we'll go." Liu pushed Jiang Yu, stepped out of the door with his front feet, turned around and said, "Jiao Niang, you just clean up at home, and Da Lang should come back." β
Chu Jianniang just nodded, "Got it, mother." β
The private school was several miles away from home, and it was dark when Wei Xuan came back. On the way home, I met a few classmates from before who were discussing the beginning of the imperial court, Wei Xuan listened for a while, and the chief examiner was the newly appointed Lord Qin Yanqin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. This person's personality is upright, modest, and upright.
Many people talk about it, if you are admitted, it is inevitable to serve the imperial court, but because of this, as a protΓ©gΓ© of Lord Qin, I don't know how fortunate it is for several lifetimes.
Wei Xuan also wanted to go, but now he took care of the situation at home, and still dispelled this idea, he is now fifty out of twenty, and he knows the story of lying on the salary and tasting courage, and it doesn't matter if he is two or three years late, so that he can study more.
"Father, I'm back." After entering the house, Wei Xuan was the first to greet his father, who was dozing off in the hall.
Father Wei was awakened and trembled.
Chu Jianniang was tidying up in the inner room, and when she heard the voice outside, her heart jumped for a while, and she walked out of it, "Wei Lang, you're back." Have you eaten it? "Delicate and feminine.
Wei Xuan glanced at the past, now there is such a beautiful lady waiting for him to come back every day at home, for a while, he is like a shy little lady, not very comfortable.
"Well, I did. It's so late, you...... Rest early. β
Chu Jianniang took the book in his hand, "My mother took my uncle and little sister to meet the matchmaker, and I haven't come back yet, I have to boil some hot water for them, so that they can wash up when they come back." Since Xianggong came back first, let's go wash and rest first. I'm fine. β
Wei Xuan nodded, and twisted his eyebrows slightly, "Erniang, ...... Going out so late again? β
"yes." Chu Jianniang put away the book, poured a cup of tea and handed it over, "Aren't the mothers-in-law all at home at night?" If you don't go to find someone at this time, when will you be able to bump into someone? The brother-in-law and sister-in-law have reached the age of marriage, and the father and mother are very worried. β
His father is sure to this heart, as for whether Erniang is worried about this heart, Wei Xuan didn't dare to conclude, drank a cup of tea calmly, and didn't answer.
"Okay, then I'll go wash up first."
Wei Xuan entered the house, Chu Jianniang turned her head and followed him to help him fetch water, and when she was helping to widen her clothes, she heard the sound of snoring outside, and then she remembered that her father-in-law was still sitting and napping in the hall, and he caught a lot of fish in a row.
couldn't care about her husband at this end, Chu Jiaoniang hurriedly went to her father-in-law's ear and called, "Dad, Dad!" I see that Erniang and they won't be able to come back for a while, so why don't you go back to the house to rest first. β
Father Wei was woken up, trembled again, nodded, and went back to the house in a daze to sleep first.
After the Liu family went to Qingshuigou, they really went to find the matchmaker in the village, and in order to make a good marriage for their biological son, they didn't know what they were dragging in their hands, and they stuffed it into the matchmaker's arms.
"Look at my son, isn't he smarter than him Wei Xuan, a talent? I see that the daughter of the village chief of Qiaoshan Village has not yet been allowed to be married, mother-in-law, can you say it? β
Liu Shi pulled the matchmaker and didn't let go, Jiang Feng stood up on the side, and he looked like he was angry.
The matchmaker tore off Liu's hand and said, "Aunt Liu, do you see which matchmaker of my Wang mother-in-law hasn't said it?" You said that your Wei family is poor and white now, and Wei Dalang's daughter-in-law is still something that I am willing to give after I finally made sense of the Chu family. You are the daughter of the village chief's family, and I am afraid that this matter will not be easy to handle. β
"Mother-in-law, listen to me." Liu took back Mrs. Wang's hand and whispered: "His Wei family is the Wei family, my son is surnamed Jiang, and when he gets married, he is naturally a divider, and I have taken a fancy to a piece of land in the suburbs of the north of the city and built a house, which is reserved for my son." It's close to the city, so it's easy to go into the city to buy and sell. β
"And, my son!" Liu deliberately raised his tone, "I know a lot of businessmen outside, and I won't be like us in the future, facing the loess with my back to the sky all day long." Therefore, the girl who followed him in the future will ensure that she will not suffer any sin. β
Mrs. Wang wondered, let's not talk about anything else, this Wei family is now married to that daughter-in-law, and she is so poor that she can't even solve the pot, and this Liu family still has money to prepare a cadastral house for her son, which is unusual.
"Auntie, don't think I'm talking too much, I don't think the Wei family has enough to eat, where did you get the money here to buy land and build a house?"
"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, this money is a little money left by their uncompetitive father before leaving, and I am afraid that the husband's family of the second marriage will be cold, so I have to hide some private money for myself. But I can't spend it all on the Wei family's flowers on me, after all, these two children are his father's, so I have to make up for my two children, so I bought land and started a house. β
Liu's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and most of the money was given by Wei Xuan's family. In the end, there was nothing at home, but it filled her belly.
"Can you just help me talk about it? A good thing has been done, is it possible to miss your can't do it? At this time, the Liu family sent the silver money in his hand to the hands of Mrs. Wang.
