Chapter 25 Sure enough, he was plucked
The leader of the Tong League also stopped, and said with a hearty smile: "Brother Ming is the most anxious for justice and righteousness, and no one in this river and lake has received his favor." We, the people of the rivers and lakes, have very few families with constant production. Brother Ming practiced medicine for a long time, but when he saw that the other party was poor, he didn't want a triage fee, and those precious medicinal materials were also given away in vain. Brother Ming rarely collects consultation fees, and if he gives treatment like this, he will inevitably ask his niece to follow the fee. β
Wan Wan finally solved a mystery again,ββ the previous master's money turned out to be so nothing. Her own silver actually covered all the medical expenses of those Jianghu people who would beat each other into half-crippled people from time to time, so that she enjoyed such a high salary and often went to Emperor Yan Shengdi to borrow silver.
It's no wonder that when she first wore it, Forsythia would say to her that the bracelet was because "Second Master Ming saw that it was made of pure silver, so he accepted it." β
Such a continuous gift of medicine, coupled with the "urgency for justice and righteousness" every once in a while, is no wonder that there is no shortage of money.
At this time, the second master of the Ming Dynasty was just wearing a coarse cotton robe and a pair of thin cotton shoes that had long been old. You can see how his own quality of life is. Look at this Tong League leader again, although he is also wearing a coarse cotton robe, he wears a pair of thick cowhide boots on his feet.
Obviously, the life of this alliance leader is more nourishing than that of Second Master Ming, but he still has to ask Second Master Ming for money. Even if he can't afford it himself, he has to slaughter a big family, such as Jin Shisan's family, the Jianghu Tingyu Pavilion who sells gossip and sells oil.
This kind of thing is a good thing for Tingyu Pavilion and an opportunity to make a fortune. They didn't give out the money, why did they call the second master Ming to come out. Even if you don't come out of the rain pavilion, it's better for everyone to get together than to ask for it all from one person.
Wan Wan stared at the pair of cowhide boots on Tong Meng's feet, and the more she looked at it, the more unhappy she became. So when sending the master of Tong Meng to the gate of the courtyard, Wan Wan said with great enthusiasm: "On June 21 next year, I will also invite Uncle Tong to enjoy the face and drink a glass of wine." β
The red bomb was sent out, and Wan Wan's heart was much smoother. Secretly said that who used the former lord's small money in the past, she will definitely blow up the wedding card. Even if they all buy paper money and turn wine into the original owner, they can't let those people take advantage of it in vain.
I don't want the leader of the Tong League to listen to Wan Wan's invitation, and he showed a confused appearance. Second Master Ming was also at a loss. The two asked in unison, "What kind of wine?" β
Then, Second Master Ming asked again: "Sister Fu is going to be promoted again?" β
When I asked this, my expression was a little cute.
Wan Wan tried her best to control it so that she didn't let her pair of eyeballs roll up to the sky, didn't she say that this second master Ming loved her niece very much, and he didn't know that this niece was going to marry. Emperor Yansheng's marriage decree has already spread all over the rivers and lakes with the wind of the rivers and lakes listening to the rain pavilion. These two people actually looked like they didn't know.
Taking a deep breath, Wan Wan said: "The official family made a marriage decree a month ago, and in order to show grace, the day of the special appointment of the heavenly supervisor has chosen a date, which is set on June 21 next year. β
Second Master Ming was immediately stunned when he heard this, and he didn't say a word for a long time, and there was no expression on his face. It looks like a fairy sculpture.
Instead, the leader of the Tong Alliance explained, "This ......, this is really a happy event, a great event." On that day the uncle will come and ask for a cup of wine. ββWhen I was in Qiongzhou earlier, I heard from the wind media that my niece was suffering from lost soul, and your uncle and I traveled by sea to Haizhou and went ashore, all the way here. This rush is no news. I almost lost my manners. β
Wan Wan listened to it and wondered, I don't know what this has to do with the number of etiquette. Then she saw that the leader of the Tong League took out a money bag from his arms, took two ingots from there and handed them to her.
"Our custom, on the last Chinese New Year's Eve of a girl's marriage, as an elder, she must seal a red envelope to press for good fortune. Uncle didn't know about this in advance, and he didn't even prepare a serious red envelope. Don't be weird about your niece. β
Knowing that this was not a piece of money but a filthy bag, Wan Wan smiled very sincerely, and said while taking the silver: "It is a custom, Ah Wan accepted it with a thick skin." Thank you, Uncle Tong. β
The leader of the Tong League said with a smile: "My family is in Changyuan, so I will not stay long if I get up immediately or catch up with the New Year." Leave! β
Wan Wan hugged her fists and said: "Changyuan is far away, Ah Wan will enter the palace tomorrow, and if you can't go to the house in person, please don't be surprised." I have to wish Uncle Tong all the best in the coming year, happiness and health, a fat house, and a full house of gold and jade. β
The leader of the Tong League smiled heartily when he heard this. He hugged his fist and moved more than a dozen steps to the right, and then turned around and the whole person flew out of the forest like a milk swallow, flying away lightly and quickly.
When he was about to turn the street, the leader of the Tong League involuntarily turned his head and glanced at Wan Wan who was still standing at the door. Pinching the few copper coins left in his money bag, he sighed in his heart.
Sure enough, his wild goose was plucked. And I still pulled it out willingly, and I pulled it out once and thought twice. ββThe uncle and nephew of the Ming family have helped him a lot over the years. In the coming year, the eldest lady of Ming will get married, and he will have to wrap a big red envelope. Otherwise, he will not be able to go away in his heart, and he will lose his reputation if he spreads it.
At this moment, in the heart of the Tong League Master, Wan Wan has already overlapped with the shadow of the young lady of the Ming family back then. The appearance of smiling and saying auspicious words when he got the money is simply not too consistent.
Seeing that the leader of the Tong League had disappeared, Wan Wan happily put away the two ingots. When he was about to retreat to the courtyard and close the door, he found that Second Master Ming was still stunned.
Wan Wan stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Second Master Ming, "Uncle! Uncle? β
After calling about a dozen times, Second Master Ming finally came back to his senses. He turned his head to look at Wan Wan with difficulty, his lips trembled lightly with the flowing hair, and two lines of tears welled up, "My sister can finally get married." β
Ming Erye turned to the direction of the palace with excitement, and shouted "Long live" and bowed deeply. After three bows, he got up and grabbed Wan Wan's arm and said, "Where are the incense candles?" Where to put the incense candles! Hurry up and incense your father and aunt, and tell them that the little girl can finally get married, so that they can also settle down under the nine springs. β
Wan Wan raised her arm a little stiffly and pointed to the smaller inverted room beside her. Looking at the cheerful and excited back of Second Master Ming, Wan Wan was so confused and sympathetic to the former master.
In this case, shouldn't she first ask who she wants to marry?
Chinese New Year's Eve is to worship ancestors, so Aunt Feng prepared all the sacrificial items when preparing those New Year's goods. Second Master Ming was able to quickly arrange the incense case.
He excitedly called his brother and sister-in-law, and first repeated several times, "Sister Wei can finally get married." Then began to narrate the fierce deeds of Ming Wanwan's arrival since childhood. After every deed, you have to follow the sentence "I thought that our sister was going to be old at home, and God finally has eyes." β
Wan Wan looked at him, and suddenly felt that she was still very reliable in such a comparison.
She bowed down to the map hanging behind the incense case in accordance with the sacrificial rituals of this time and space, and then rescued the next part of the ingots paper money from the hands of the second master of Ming, recited the names of the ancestors of the Ming family and Ming Wanwan, and turned those ingots paper coins into the brazier.
After the sacrifice was over, Second Master Ming was still chattering excitedly. By the end of the day, he finally finished chattering. poured a pot of wine on the ground, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the sleeve of his robe, sighed and ended the "report" with a long sigh.
He said: "He is really a good man. β
