Chapter 135: Wan wants to be a matchmaker for Jiang Zipei
All the decoration work of Yunlai Building has been completed, and today we are doing the final cleaning, and all the guys from Yunlai Building are busy, including Shen Tusheng.
After Old Man Shen and Wan drove an ox cart to Yunlailou to find Shen Tusheng, the old couple seemed to have the backbone.
Shen Tusheng originally thought that things would not go well, but he didn't expect it to be so bad.
The back basket on the ox cart was rotten, more than half of the clams in the wooden barrel were gone, and the peach gum was much less, and Shen Tusheng was also stunned by her mother's depressed and uncomfortable look.
The guys in Yunlailou still know the relationship between Shen Tusheng and Shen Shuang, and Shen Shuang has a good relationship with his own lady, and everyone knows that this old couple is Shen Shuang's grandfather and grandmother, so they are also very polite to them, serving them tea and water, and finding a place for the two of them to rest.
After the old man Shen took a sip of tea, he calmed down, Wan Shi was shocked, as if he was stunned, Shen Tusheng called her several times before she came back to her senses, and no matter where this was, she hugged her second son and cried.
"Born native, my mother was almost kicked to death by the black-hearted shopkeeper, and he pushed your father to the ground, scolding me and your father for being whimsical, it's all Xiaoshuang's stinky girl, she lied to us that peach gum is a good thing, that stinky girl, this is making our old Shen family miserable."
Old man Shen listened to his old wife scolding Shen Shuang with snot and tears, naturally he wanted to stop it, not to mention what the cause and effect of the matter were, just said that the two of them were in Yunlai Lou at this time, and he clearly saw that the guys in Yunlai Lou looked at them with very strange eyes.
"Okay, old woman, what are you still making trouble at this time? Isn't that messy enough? ”
"You ......" Wan Shi was so angry when he heard that his old man was scolding himself at this time, he opened his mouth to scold him, but Shen Tusheng hurriedly stopped him, "Mother, you don't say a few words, Xiaoshuang and the eldest brother have told you about peach gum and river clams, but you two don't listen to persuasion, what's the use of blaming Xiaoshuang now?" ”
"Why are you helping that stinky girl?"
Shen Tusheng looked dissatisfied, "Mother, I don't favor anyone, but you shouldn't do anything that doesn't have a score, who will pay ten taels of silver to buy a pound of peach gum?" Can this be profitable? Besides, we don't know if we can eat those things, and even if we can, who knows what it tastes like? ”
Shen Tusheng didn't listen to what Shen Shuang and Shen Musheng said, but figured it out by himself, he often helped people work in the town, and he had seen the world, and he had never seen anyone else eat any peach tree resin.
Even if that thing is really good, people don't know how to sell it.
When Old Man Shen and Wan Shi heard this, they seemed to understand what the problem seemed to be, "Then you mean, our peach gum can't be sold because the shopkeeper of Manfu Building doesn't know that this peach gum can be eaten?" ”
Wan Shi suddenly became energetic again, and no longer sighed, looking at Old Man Shen excitedly, "Old man, you said that if we go and tell the shopkeeper of Manfulou that peach gum is a good thing and can be eaten, we didn't lie to him, will he agree to accept our peach gum?" ”
Old man Shen didn't think as much as Wan's, and seeing that she didn't seem to have a long memory, he immediately became a little angry, "What else are you talking about?" That shopkeeper didn't treat us as human beings, kicked down our peach gum, and the boss went to fish early in the morning to spoil most of the clams, what are we still rushing to do? Our family doesn't do business with that Manfu Building. ”
Wan Shi was still afraid that his old man would be angry, so he didn't dare to say anything immediately, and looked up at the second son on the side, wanting him to help say a few words, but where did Shen Tusheng have the heart to take care of this, looking at his mother's eyes, he knew what she was thinking, "Dad, mother, I still have a lot of things to do, and you two are staying here." Brother Mo went to pick up Xiaoshuang at home today, thinking that she would come to the town soon, and then you would talk to her about peach gum. ”
Old man Shen hurriedly waved his hand, "Tusheng, we'll wait here, you hurry up and get busy, don't delay." ”
Shen Tusheng left Old Man Shen and Wan Shi in the backyard of the restaurant, Wan Shi covered his heart and sighed at this time, looking at the back basket rotten and the river clam broken, feeling that the silver had been ruined, and his heart was uncomfortable.
"Old man, do you think we can still sell these peach gums to Jiang Gongzi? I don't know if he is willing to give us ten taels of silver a catty. Xiaoshuang is really, knowing that we may not be able to sell the peach gum today, and I didn't say it earlier, it's really a white-eyed wolf. ”
Old man Shen was thinking about things in his heart, so he didn't pay attention to her at all.
After the two of them rested for a while, Wan Shi said that his heart hurt and he was uncomfortable, and Old Man Shen had to clean up the peach gum by himself.
He scooped water from the water tank and soaked the clams, then unloaded the peach gum in the three-back basket, asked the guy in Yunlailou for a big basket, cleaned up some peach gum with mud and sand, and planned to load the peach gum into the basket.
Before it was cleaned up, Wan, who was sitting in the yard, soon found that his grandchildren were walking behind two men and women with extraordinary temperaments who looked like rich and noble families.
Jiang Zitong was wearing men's clothes before, at first glance, Wan couldn't recognize Jiang Zitong, she only thought that this girl was very good-looking, but her eyes were just staring at Jiang Zipei, "Old man, old man, look at it, it seems that Jiang Gongzi is here." ”
When the old man Shen heard the voice, he hurriedly stood up while squatting, looked at the gate of the courtyard, and soon found his granddaughter Shen Shuang and grandson Xiaoshan, he saw that the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly stepped forward, and the whole person even looked a little excited, "Xiaoshuang, you are finally here." ”
Shen Shuang heard what the little second brother and the little vendor said at the door of Manfu Building, and she also knew the reason why her grandmother was so embarrassed, it can be said that what happened to the two of them was expected, reasonable, and rashly went to a big restaurant like Manfu Lou to sell some things that they didn't know what they didn't know, and it was the most strange that others didn't treat them as liars who were abducted and deceived.
However, Shen Shuang was a little strange why her father looked so excited, and he shouldn't have complained to her.
Shen Shuang was a little puzzled, and hurriedly stepped forward and called the two of them, "Grandpa, grandma." ”
When Wan Shi saw Shen Shuang, he involuntarily showed a proud expression, especially when he felt that she was cheating on her elders.
As for Xiaoshan, she was disgusted, after all, in her eyes, this little grandson was a little mute, and she had been embarrassed in the village for so long.
"Xiaoshuang, why did you bring Xiaoshan here? What did you bring him for? Isn't that cumbersome? ”
When Xiaoshan heard his grandmother say this, he subconsciously hid behind Shen Shuang while holding the little wolf cub, and he didn't dare to look at people with his head down.
Seeing this, Shen Shuang hurriedly pulled his younger brother out, "Xiaoshan, hold your head high, didn't my sister tell you how to do it?" ”
Xiaoshan was a little scared, but she still listened to her sister's words and looked up, this was simply a knife in Wan's heart, she didn't care about being present with outsiders, she was about to scold when she opened her mouth, but Shen Shuang didn't want her to say more, so she directly intercepted her words, "Milk, Xiaoshan was brought here by me, I brought him to see a doctor, he will never be a burden to our family." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for her to react, and looked directly at Old Man Shen, "Master, let me introduce you, this is the Jiang Gongzi I mentioned to you, this is the Jiang girl you have seen before." ”
"Jiang Gongzi, this is my grandfather and grandmother."
Talking to Jiang Zipei, Shen Shuang felt that it was better to use honorific titles.
Wan Shi didn't bother to care too much, and when she heard Shen Shuang introduce herself, she hurriedly stepped forward a few steps and looked at Jiang Zipei with an appreciative expression, "It turned out to be Jiang Gongzi, I have heard our Xiaoshuang mention you several times before." Jiang Gongzi is really talented, we can't find a son as noble as Jiang Gongzi in the ten miles and eight townships in the mountain town. I just don't know if Jiang Gongzi is already married, if not, I ......"
Shen Shuang was stunned and watched as her grandmother stepped forward to tell Jiang Zipei about to match, but neither she nor Jiang Zitong reacted, but fortunately, her father also saw her intentions, and hurriedly reached out and pulled her, "Old woman, what are you talking nonsense, don't say it." ”
Where will Wan Shi take care of his old man at this time, he still looked at Jiang Zipei with a smile, and continued his words, "If you are not married yet, I am willing to match Jiang Gongzi." My granddaughter Shen Cuini is twelve years old, she looks good, she can embroider, and she is very virtuous. ”
The more Wan Shi looked at Jiang Zipei, the more satisfied she became, and felt that she should have thought that this character from a place like the capital was naturally a dragon and phoenix among people, and at this time she regretted that she didn't come to take a look earlier.
Now I see it, this person is not only good-looking, but also wears silk and satin, this is also a restaurant, the family must be very wealthy, if she marries her granddaughter Shen Cuini, it will not be too good, then she will be the grandmother of the proprietress of Yunlailou, think about her, she feels that her heart hurts.
Wan's remarks directly poured down everyone present, including Xiaoshan and the little wolf cub, although Xiaoshan was still young, he could still hear that his grandmother meant to marry his cousin Shen Cuini to Jiang Gongzi as his wife, but the reason why the adults didn't speak, he poured water was not very clear.
Old man Shen was the first to react, only to feel that he had offended the noble person in front of him, so he pulled the Wan clan away and stepped forward to make amends with Jiang Zipei.
"Jiang Gongzi also hopes that you don't want to be surprised, Xiaoshuang and her grandmother usually like to tell people matchmakers, which offended Jiang Gongzi."
Jiang Zipei was indeed stunned for a moment when he heard Wan's words, the Jiang family is mostly Zhuangzi, although the old people in Zhuangzi also have pungent temperament, but like Wan's, he stared at him without taboo, and his expression as if staring at a piece of fat meat still made him a little uncomfortable.
Of course, he won't be angry, after all, it's Shen Shuang's family.
So Jiang Zipei also smiled and said, "Don't be nervous about the Shen family's grandfather, I believe that the Shen family's grandmother is just kind, for Zipei's sake." ”
