Chapter 133: Family Meeting
When Xia Shan returned home, everyone in the family went to bed to rest. When they heard that he had hunted a wild boar, they all got up to see the excitement. This wild boar was very large, two hundred pounds, and its neck and head were bitten by Dangdang and the bear, which was very terrifying.
Old man Xia sighed once again that if his hunting dog was as powerful as Dangdang, he would not have been crippled.
Mrs. Xia's haha sound was extremely abrupt at night.
Xiao Yang smiled, "Such a big guy can eat for several days." ”
Mrs. Xia scolded, "The greedy mother-in-law knows how to eat, eat." Keep the pig's head, neck, and water to eat slowly, and sell the rest for money. ”
Xia Laohan nodded and said, "It just so happens that tomorrow the pillar has not received the job of killing pigs, so he will pack up the wild meat and sell the meat, chickens and ducks to the town." ”
Xia Shan hurriedly said, "I'm going to give away chickens and ducks, and I'm only going to sell pork." ”
Xiao Yang smiled, "Third uncle, you don't have a father-in-law and mother-in-law, besides your father, who else can you honor?" ”
Xia Shan ignored her, went directly into the upper room, and gave Xia Zhu another look.
When the old couple and Xia Zhu came in, Xia Shan opened the city and said unfairly that he also wanted to invite the matchmaker to go to Li's house to talk about his relatives.
Xia Laohan sighed, "I also think that the daughter of the Li family is good, but people don't want to, what can we do?" ”
Xia Shan pondered for a moment and said, "Dad, mother, if I marry Miss Li, I want to take her to live in Xiangshan Mansion. I had a home there, so I had a hot meal. ”
Xia Laohan's face sank, and Mrs. Xia cried directly and said, "What? You are an unfilial thing, the daughter-in-law who married home does not honor her in-laws, and she is put out as a bodhisattva. You have become an official, and your mother has not yet enjoyed the blessings, so you have to take your daughter-in-law to enjoy the blessings......"
Xia Laohan knocked Xia Shan's head with a cigarette stick and shouted, "Unpromising Wang Balamb, your daughter-in-law hasn't married back yet, so you will be spoiled first." Such a daughter-in-law who doesn't know how to honor her in-laws, our old Xia family can't afford it. ”
Xia Zhu hurriedly persuaded, "Dad, mother, don't worry about it first. The third brother asked his daughter-in-law to live in Xiangshan Mansion, and he didn't say that he didn't respect his in-laws. I think it's good for them to live together, not only will there be someone to take care of and someone in Shanzi, but they can also spread out as soon as possible and give you a few more grandchildren. ”
Mrs. Xia said angrily, "No matter how much you spread the branches, you can't help but honor your father." ”
Xia Shan knelt down and said, "Father, mother, if your son dares not to honor you, he will be sent by heaven." This will not work, I will pay you a tael of silver every month......"
Xia Zhu hurriedly said, "How can this be done?" You only have one tael of silver left in your two taels a month, how can it be enough? The two of you want to rent a house, you have to chew it, the things in the city are expensive, and unlike us in the countryside, you eat and drink from your own fields, and you will have children in the future......"
Xia Shan said, "For 500 wen a month, you can rent a small courtyard on the edge of the city, save the rest, and rent an acre of land to grow by yourself." ”
Xia Zhu shook his head and said, "If it's Miss Li, she won't be able to farm." ”
"I'll take the time to plant ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was knocked twice on his back by Xia Laohan. scolded, "A soft egg who has no interest, he does all the work by himself, and it is useless to marry a daughter-in-law." ”
Xia Shan hurriedly said, "I said something wrong, I taught her to plant." ”
Mrs. Xia is still satisfied with the fact that Xia Shan has become a family and does not live at home and can still pay a tael of silver to the family. said, "They won't be so pitiful, if they really marry the daughter of the Li family, her dowry is not as good as the daughter of the Zhu landlord's family, and it is much more than others." ”
Xia Shan said sullenly, "Mother, my son just eats rice bran, and he won't use his daughter-in-law's dowry to support himself." ”
Xia Zhu also said, "Yes, Shanzi is an official and lives with his daughter-in-law's dowry, and people will laugh at it when they hear it." ”
Xia Shan also said, "In our camp, many soldiers' wives and children live there. Marrying a knowledgeable daughter-in-law, or taking care of the relationship with the chief's wife, is conducive to future promotion......"
This reason made Xia Laohan hesitate, and his greatest wish was to let Xia Shan be promoted to a bigger official and glorify the lintel.
The family meeting lasted until midnight before several people came to an agreement.
Early the next morning, Xia Li sent Dangdang and Xiong Xiang and Kuroko with a bag of snacks to the mountain, and asked them to say goodbye to Xiong Da and Xiong Bile, and they must come back in the evening.
Xia Li had already told Dangdang about the family's decision to go to Fucheng. Although Dangdang was reluctant to go to Fucheng, his sister went with his mother, brother, and everything, and he had to follow.
After breakfast, Xia Li carried a pheasant and two silk flowers sent by Zeng Qingqing, and went to Hao's house next door with Xia Ju.
Then, he went to Zhou Carpenter's house to send two silk flowers to Zhou Lizheng and Huang Widow's house.
Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, please ask those families to help take care of the family. If Zhu Er encounters difficulties, ask them to help.
Xia Li's rhetoric is still to cook for Lord Ye's elders for a few days.
The people in the village were so envious that they didn't know how much money they would get for this trip.
At the beginning of the day, Xia Shan came to Xia Li with pheasants and wild ducks.
He was dressed in a silk and blue robe, and wore a square cloth of the same color on his head, and he was extremely handsome. The material was sent by Xia, the clothes were made by Li, and the purse hanging around his waist was sent by Xia Li.
He smiled brightly, and was able to take out chickens and ducks from Xia's house to give them away, and he should have received some promises that satisfied him.
Xia Li joked, "The third uncle is really handsome today, and at first glance, he went to meet Lord Taishan." ”
Xia Shan's black face was flushed, and he smiled and didn't speak.
Xia Li took two silk flowers and went to Shiban Village with him. Xia Ju still wanted to take the road, but Xia Li didn't bring it.
On the way, Xia Shan whispered about the results of his discussion with Xia Laohan and his wife yesterday. If he marries Li Xiumin and takes him to live in Xiangshan Mansion, he will pay one or two pieces of silver to the family every month, and he will pay filial piety on the New Year's Day.
At the end, he also said, "If the Li family agrees to marry their daughter to me, I will definitely let Miss Li live a good life." Although it may be a little poorer at first, it will gradually get better after a comfortable life......
Xia Li knew that Xia Shan was active, so he took his daughter-in-law out of the Xia family first, and there would always be a way to live well in the future. said with a smile, "No matter which girl marries the third uncle, she will be happy ......" The premise is that there is no participation of the two old mouths.
Xia Shan smirked. There are so many relatives in the family, for some reason, he is willing to say what is in his heart to this niece and daughter.
When I arrived at Li's house, I could hear the sound of reading outside the bamboo forest, and the voice was childish and loud.
Li Darang will never be seen again on this road, which makes Xia Li's mood extremely happy.
Li Xiumin came to open the door, and when she saw that it was Xia Li, she immediately smiled with crooked eyebrows, and was just about to reach out to pull Xia Li in, and saw Xia Shan behind her.
Xia Shan smiled at Li Xiumin, the fitted caftan showed that he was more long and jade, and there was a little elegance in his martial arts.
