.. org, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the full court cuckoo red!
Along the way, the villagers saw such a big pomp and circumstance, and they began to gossip and ask what was going on.
"Uncle Dehui, what are you doing with so many gifts?"
"Why don't you go and hire Qing Yanzi, which girl in our village is set?"
"Yes, Dehui, when will Qing Yanzi get married? I'm going to get a congratulatory gift and drink the wedding wine. ”
"I didn't have any news beforehand, I don't know which girl is so lucky to marry Qing Yanzi."
Liu Lanqing was red-faced, and he didn't know how to defend himself.
Old Man Liu smiled and said: "It's not for Qing Yanzi, yesterday a few of them went into the mountain and bumped into a wild boar and were rescued by the Shi family's son." Today, I specially prepared some gifts to come to the door to thank you. ”
"Hey, we all thought it was Qing Yanzi who was going to please his mother-in-law."
"Yesterday, I saw the Shi family's servants call a carriage to pull the wild boar out of the village, saying that they were going to the city."
"Qing Yanzi doesn't please the mother-in-law, I don't have to drink this happy wine!"
"Hehe, there must be something to drink in the wine, two years late, it's important to study first."
After saying with a smile, Old Man Liu led his children and grandchildren to continue walking to the west of the village.
When she arrived at the small courtyard of the Shi family, Mrs. Shi saw so many people from the Liu family coming together, standing at the gate of the courtyard at a loss, her eyes full of doubts.
Old man Liu was busy explaining his intentions, "Yesterday, several juniors in my family were in distress, and thanks to the help of Sun Xiang, we were able to get out, and today we came to visit to express our gratitude." ”
"That's right, yesterday I heard my grandson say that wild boars are going to hurt people, and it turned out to be you. But he is not at home today, so please come in. "Mrs. Shi turned sideways, please.
The courtyard is not big, but it is neatly cleaned up. Under the jujube tree in the courtyard, there is a stone table and several stone piers, and there is nothing else. The main house with mud walls and green tiles is not very old, the freshly pasted window paper is snow-white, and the plants planted in front of the fence are already full of yellow flowers, exuding a strange rich fragrance, and the smell is refreshing.
"It's cramped inside, so it's easier to talk in the yard. Sit down first, and I'll get some tea." ”
Mrs. Shi saw that there were too many people, so she didn't bring them into the house, her eyes flowed over everyone, and after a slight pause on Liu Qingyan's face, she turned around and went into the house to serve tea.
Liu Qingyan also took the opportunity to look at Mrs. Shi, and saw that she was probably a few years older than her grandfather, but her hair was still thick and black, only a few white hairs on her sideburns, her ruddy face was full of energy, her eyes were like watching fire, and she acted steadily and powerfully, this is an unusual old lady.
The Liu family piled the gifts on the stone table, and the old man Liu and Liu Bowen sat down on the stone pier, and the three juniors stood in a row.
Liu Qingyan was attracted by the strange fragrance of flowers, her eyes wandered around the courtyard, and her eyes stayed on the plants with yellow flowers.
"Granny Shi, what's the name of this flower, it's so fragrant." Seeing Mrs. Shi coming out with tea, Liu Qingyan asked curiously.
Mrs. Shi glanced at Liu Qingyan and said with a smile: "It's you, little girl, I remember you." This flower is called Wangjiangnan, also called the snake extinguishing door, we smell the incense, the snake smells but it is very smelly, and immediately escaped. I have a remote place here, and I planted this flower to prevent snakes from entering the courtyard. ”
"This flower is so magical." Liu Qingya was surprised, and then ran to the flowers to take a closer look.
Qing Zhi saw it, and also went over to see the flowers.
"The little girl's family loves flowers and grass." Mrs. Shi shook her head and smiled, put the teapot and teacup on the stone table, and frowned when she saw the pile of gifts on the table, "What are you doing here?" ”
"Old Madam Shi, this is a little bit of our family's heart for Ling Sun, and I hope that the old lady will accept it on our behalf." Liu Bowen stood up and bowed to Mrs. Shi.
"Our Shi family is a rough person who runs the rivers and lakes, but I don't deserve the title of old lady, don't call me like this when my eldest nephew is about to do this. My grandson went into the mountains to hunt, and when he saw a wild boar, he didn't want to come back. Our Jianghu people like to go straight, and they are villagers who live in a village, how can this little thing be rewarded by others, there is no need to be so polite. Mrs. Shi refused.
"The eldest lady doesn't accept it, and she regularly dislikes the gift book we prepared." Xie helped to persuade him.
"What is this, my wife is a straight person, and the eldest nephew and daughter-in-law don't say that again." Mrs. Shi was so anxious that she waved her hand again and again.
"Eldest sister, this few small gifts, compared to Ling Sun's kindness to our Liu family, it is really insignificant, if you don't accept it, our family is really at ease, if you let others know in the future, it will definitely be said that we don't understand human feelings, please be sure to accept it, so that we can have some face to gain a foothold in the village." Old man Liu said.
"This ......" Mrs. Shi lost the upper hand with one enemy and three enemies, and couldn't find the words to push for a while, looking at the things on the stone table and said in embarrassment: "It's not a secret, my wife doesn't know the needlework and the girl is red, and it is usually difficult to sew and mend, let alone cut cloth to make clothes, and there is nowhere to go to accept this cloth." ”
"Auntie, this is easy to do, my needlework is quite passable, what clothes and objects do you want to make, just leave it to me." Xie Shi said to Mrs. Shi with a smile.
"Oh, eldest nephew and daughter-in-law, how embarrassing is this. Alas, I think my wife has taken the hand of the knife and gun, but I can't hold the sewing needle, I usually have to ask for sewing, and I am embarrassed to always trouble others. Mrs. Shi looked at Xie Shi with complaining eyes, and the meaning was obvious: I wanted you to help me do needlework, but I was embarrassed to speak, and if you said that you wanted to help me do it, then I agreed.
Liu Qingyan turned around after admiring the flowers, just taking this scene into her eyes, thinking that this old lady is really interesting, how much you don't want to do needlework.
So he said very understandingly: "Granny Shi, my mother's needlework is doing well, if you have something to do, just bring it to my mother to help you do it." I can't make clothes, but I can make handkerchiefs and socks or something. ”
"Yes, auntie, just leave it to me what you want to do." Xie also pleaded again.
"In this way, there will be a lot of trouble for the eldest nephew and daughter-in-law in the future." Mrs. Shi was as kind as a stream, grabbed Xie's hand and patted it, smiling like a flower.
"Don't bother, my aunt just commands."
In this way, the guests and hosts were happy, and the Liu family got up and went home.
Mrs. Shi was sent out of the hospital and shouted to Liu Qingyan: "Little girl, come to play with your mother-in-law when you have time." ”
"Okay, Granny Shi." Liu Qingyan turned around and smiled, her vivid eyes were radiant, revealing two pear vortices on her cheeks.
Mrs. Shi stood at the gate of the courtyard and pondered for a while, and then laughed as if she realized that when her grandson came back, she should interrogate and interrogate her.
It turned out that after Shi Lei carried the wild boar back yesterday, he didn't know what kind of wind he was pumping, so he went to the town and called a carriage to pull it into the county seat, saying that he was going to see if his father had come back.
Yuxi Mingxi, in fact, is a river, is a major tributary of the main waterway of Yongzhou Prefecture, the Yuan River, which is directly connected to the Lengjiang River of the Grand Canal.
Yuxi County has convenient water and land transportation, is very prosperous, and is a first-class county under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou Prefecture. The street is wide and smooth, the buildings on both sides are all fine and elegant, showing the characteristics of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, the flow of people on the road is surging and coming and going, the traffic is noisy and noisy, gathering the traders from all over the world, accepting the strange goods of the five lakes, a faction of the country and the people, the prosperity and prosperity of the prosperous world.
But even if it is prosperous, it is still free from roadblocks and robberies, so those merchants who do long-distance business need to find someone to escort the goods, so the dart bureau is indispensable, the bigger the trade city, the better the business of the dart board.
Weiyuan Dart Bureau, famous in the south of the Yangtze River, has rudders in all prefectures and cities in the south of the Yangtze River, and black and white must be given a few thin noodles. The dart masters of Weiyuan Dart Bureau are all equipped with unique skills and skills, and the martial arts of Shi Wei, the head of the dart, are even more extraordinary, and they are powerful in the green forest.
In the most prosperous southern city of Yuxi County, the uneven banners and wine flags on both sides of the street flutter in the wind, and all kinds of hawkers on the bluestone-paved streets are selling along the street, and all kinds of merchants are in groups, talking and walking and stopping, looking calm and serene, and occasionally there is a person who is anxious and hurried, that is also worried that the goods cannot be shipped out.
A three-entry courtyard facing the street, two stone lions at the gate are mighty, and the black background plaque carved with delicate patterns above the door is extremely eye-catching.
Shi Lei paid for the car and dragged the wild boar out of the car, and the two young men at the door saw it and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Young dart, you are back, those Miss Zhang, Miss Li, and Miss Wang, no matter whether it is windy or rainy, they come to inquire about your whereabouts every day." ”
Shi Lei immediately had a cold face and said sternly: "Don't reveal the news of my return." ”
The guy nodded again and again, and said, "How can we be, we promise not to say a word, otherwise the dart head will not pick our skin when he comes back." ”
"That's just like the words, carry the wild boar to the back kitchen, and add vegetables to everyone tonight." Shi Lei patted his buddy on the shoulder, raised his foot and entered the gate of the dart game.
"Good Lat, you can eat a lot of meat tonight and drink wine in a big bowl." Dude was elated.
After Shi Lei entered the dart bureau and asked the steward about his father's return date, he went out again.
It's hot, so it's time to stock up on some summer clothes.
Jixiang Buzhuang is separated from Weiyuan Dart Bureau by two streets, and the owner Xiao family has always had business dealings with Dart Bureau. The first floor of the cloth village sells cloth garments, and the second floor is the place where the VIP customized garments are received, and the men and women are separated, each from the stairs on both sides of the stairs upstairs, the service is very thoughtful and appropriate.
Entering the cloth village, the shopkeeper immediately greeted him and said, "Shi Shao is here, are you here to buy clothes or make clothes today?" ”
Shi Lei glanced at the stains on his clothes that had been made by wild boars, and said to the shopkeeper: "If there is a suitable one, buy one first, and then make two." ”
"Okay, Shi Shao Darthead, please upstairs." The shopkeeper made a gesture of please.
The interior on the second floor is quite spacious, with rows of hangers hanging men's clothes of different colors and styles, and the shopkeeper led Shi Lei upstairs and called the guys to serve tea.
"Shi Shaodart, this row of clothes is suitable for your size, you can see if there is anything you like." The shopkeeper introduced Shi Lei.
In summer, most of the clothes are light-colored, and the materials are thin and soft, Shi Lei quickly chose a silver-white robe, but the delicate and slim tailoring style is not complicated.
"Shi Shao has a good eye, the material of this dress is the summer cloth newly developed by our cloth village, which is much finer than the ordinary summer cloth, and it is more comfortable and breathable to wear, but the production cost is too high and the current production is scarce, so I haven't put it down to sell, you try to see if it fits first."
Upstairs, there is a lattice room for distinguished guests to change clothes, and when Shi Lei comes out after changing his clothes, the shopkeeper's eyes are full of envy, jealousy, sadness, and resentment.
is the same man, why is the difference so big, the waist is the waist, the legs are the legs, the chest is the chest, and the figure is good, even if he has a good face, he still has a good face that is angry and resentful.
The shopkeeper looked at his round belly and short legs, and his heart was mixed with sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and bitter, and this kind of peerless elegance could be compared with his own son-in-law.
Thinking of his son-in-law, the shopkeeper felt better, put away his emotions and concentrate on business.
"There is also a light blue color of this material, do you want to take a look at Shi Shao's dart head."
What's the use of envy, jealousy, and hatred, anyway, I can't become like that, so it's better to do more business.
The silver white is not white, but a faint blue gray, like the soft and clear glow of the bright moonlight on the bluestone wall.
Shi Lei was originally an ethereal temperament, and now he wears such a robe and ties a belt with silver trim of the same color, his face and temperament reflect each other, elegant as a beam of moonlight shining on the murmuring water of the mountain stream.
Shi Lei also felt that this kind of material was worn on his body, which was soft but not close to the skin, and it was very comfortable, so he said, "Take it and take a look." ”
"Okay, Shi Shao Darthead, please wait a moment."
The shopkeeper went to fetch the material himself.
This cloth is an extremely light blue, with a light watery glow, at first glance you will think it is an ordinary Gesi cloth, but on closer inspection, it is extremely fine, which can be called a low-key luxury.
Shi Lei liked it very much after seeing it, and asked the shopkeeper: "Can this piece of cloth make two clothes, one long and one short?" ”
"You can't make two wide-sleeved robes with this piece of material, but it's no problem to make narrow sleeves with one long and one short."
"Then let's do two, when can I do it?" Shi Lei flicked his sleeves and sat down in the chair.
The action is extremely chic and elegant.
The shopkeeper thought that it was good that he gave birth to a son, and if it was a girl, he couldn't help but give him a marriage, so he twitched his cheek and said, "I'll call a man to measure it for you, and then let the tailor catch up, and I'll send it to you within five days." ”
Shi Lei walked out of the auspicious cloth village in a new silver and white dress, and the shopkeeper sent it to the door, worried about the girl who had not left the cabinet in the city.
However, the shopkeeper's worries were not unreasonable, Shi Lei walked to the corner of the street, and heard a coquettish voice from a distance behind him, "Brother Lei, you are back!" ”
The delicate voice was as sweet as honey, but it was like a ghostly sound in Shi Lei's ears, and his body shook and froze there.
"Brother Lei, where have you been these days, I've worked so hard to find you."
The sweet and greasy voice was getting closer and closer, Shi Lei took a sharp breath, and his figure disappeared in place.
After returning to the dart game, Shi Lei instructed the men to guard the gate and not let those girls and ladies enter, so he closed the door and practiced martial arts every day to pass the time.
