Zheng Boduan walked inside, and the maid called in a low voice: "Lady, that Zheng official is here." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Mrs. Zhang replied: "Quickly invite Zheng Guanren to come in and drink tea." ”

Zheng Boduan saw that there were no men in this family, and there were lonely men and widows, so he couldn't help but hesitate because of the number of courtesies.

The maid urged several times before Zheng Boduan walked into the house.

As soon as Mrs. Zhang saw him, she said a deep blessing and invited him to take a seat.

After the two drank a cup of tea, Mrs. Zhang left Zheng Boduan to drink at home.

Zheng Boduan thought to himself that this lonely man and widow, just drink tea, if you eat wine together, it will really be unorthodox, and just about to excuse herself, the maid has put all kinds of fresh vegetables and fruits on the table.

Zheng Boduan was helpless, so he had to raise his glass and say, "Thank you for the wine." ”

When the wine was half-drunk, Zheng Boduan saw that it was getting late, so he got up and said, "It's getting late, and the road is far away, so I'll leave first." ”

Where was the lady willing to let him go, she just said: "The official's umbrella was lent to a relative last night, let's have a few more drinks, and the slave family will take it and return it to the official." ”

Zheng Boduan has been reading the books of sages since he was a child, and at this juncture, he can't help but commit the inherent sourness of the scholar, and he waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, the umbrella will be picked up another day." If it's too late today, I'm really going back. ”

Seeing this, Zhang Niangzi was not forced to stay, and said: "In this case, you might as well drink another glass." ”

Zheng Boduan hurriedly said: "Okay, good, thank you again for the wine." ”

Zhang Niangzi said: "Since the officials are in such a hurry to go back, I have to bother you to come and get this umbrella tomorrow." ”

Zheng Boduan said: "Tomorrow will come, tomorrow will come." "Say goodbye and go home.

Early the next morning, Zheng Boduan came to the store early, made some business and then found an excuse to leave, and went to Zhang Niangzi's house to get an umbrella.

When this lady saw him coming, she prepared wine and food to entertain her.

Zheng Boduan said: "Just ask the lady to return the umbrella, don't bother more." ”

Mrs. Zhang didn't take an umbrella, but said: "Since the wine and food have been prepared, I hope the officials will have a drink." ”

When Zheng Boduan heard this, he had no choice but to sit down.

The lady poured a glass of wine and handed it to Zheng Boduan, her lips opened lightly, her face was like a peach, and she said softly: "The official is above, the little woman might as well tell the truth." The slave family lost her husband early in the morning, and she must have been related to the officials, and she was mistaken for love at first sight. It is you who have affection, and I have intentions. I also have to bother the officials to invite an iceman, and the two have been together for a hundred years. ”

This Zheng Boduan actually had an intention in his heart, otherwise why did he come to the little lady's house to disturb him several times for the sake of an umbrella? At the moment, when I saw that the women in the first district were so open-minded, I couldn't help but feel ashamed, and secretly thought that it would not be in vain to take such a little lady. It's just that he is now working in his uncle's house, although he has made some money, but it is far from enough to settle the house and buy a dowry, how can he marry her home?

Zhang Niangzi saw that he was silent and didn't speak, so she said, "Why didn't the official answer?" Is it disgusting to be a widow and widow? ”

Zheng Boduan hurriedly said: "No, no, no, the lady has no regrets." Thanks to the lady for her love, I really don't hide it, I am alone, I help watch this small shop at my uncle's house, and I haven't saved much money, where do I dare to dare to open my mouth to marry the lady. ”

Mrs. Zhang said: "I see. Officials don't need to worry too much, I have a little money in my pocket. Then he called the maid and said, "Go and fetch a mina." ”

The maid came back after a long time with a small package in her hand and placed it in front of the table.

Zhang Niangzi pushed the package in front of Zheng Boduan and said, "Official, you can use this bag of silver, and if it is not enough, you will come and take it again." ”

Seeing that Zheng Bo couldn't accept it, Zhang Niangzi put the silver into his hand with her own hands. Zheng Boduan felt that the package was very heavy, and when he opened it, it was fifty taels of snowflakes with silver.

Seeing the hesitation on Uncle Zheng's face, Zhang Niangzi couldn't help but smile and said, "I know what the official's heart thinks." It's just that love is priceless, you and I are in love, why care about that worldly vision? ”

Zheng Boduan nodded, put the silver in his sleeve, and was about to turn around and leave, but he heard the maid come out of the side hall and shouted, "The official stays." ”

Zheng Boduan looked back, only to see the maid holding the oil-paper umbrella in her hand, and said with a smile: "The official has a lady, have you forgotten this umbrella?" ”

Zheng Boduan's face was tender after all, he took the umbrella with a flushed face, and ran away as if he was flying.

Early the next morning, Zheng Boduan did not go to the store, but bought fat chicken, fresh fish, fresh vegetables, fruits and wine with a little broken silver. It happened that the uncle and aunt were both at home today, and when they saw this, they were surprised and asked, "What day is today, and you have to spend so much?" ”

Uncle Zheng smiled, but did not answer immediately, and invited the uncle and aunt to sit down and have a drink.

When the wine was half-drunk, the uncle couldn't help but ask, "Child, why are you so expensive?" ”

Zheng Boduan said: "Thanks to the care of my uncle and aunt for so many years, why worry about some wine and food? Now Boduan has grown up, and the so-called unfilial piety has three, and no queen is great. Bo Duan has a family affair to talk about this time, and he hopes that the uncle and aunt will be the masters of Boduan. ”

The uncle and aunt were stunned, but they were thinking in their stomachs: This child is very poor on weekdays, and today he is so expensive, just to ask us to get a wife room for him?

The two of you, you look at me, I look at you, and they don't speak, they just care about eating and drinking, which makes Zheng Boduan wonder in his heart, but he doesn't dare to say more.

Two days later, Uncle Zheng saw that the uncle and the aunt did not mention the matter of kissing, and couldn't help but feel anxious, so he went straight to the aunt's room, and asked the queen: "A few days ago, I don't know if the uncle and the aunt discussed the matter of kissing?" ”

The aunt shook her head and said, "Not yet." ”

Zheng Boduan said: "Why don't you discuss it yet? ”

The aunt said: "This matter is a matter of your life, it is extraordinary, and it must not be rushed." I saw that your uncle was haggard these days, and I was afraid that he would be troubled, so I didn't dare to ask him. ”

Zheng Boduan is a top smart person, he understood a little at the moment, and said, "Why should my aunt worry too much? I guess you think I'm going to ask my uncle to pay for me to marry a wife, so you ignore it. He got up and went back to his bedroom, took out the fifty taels of snowflake silver, handed it to his aunt with both hands, and said, "Auntie doesn't have to refuse, as long as you two make the decision for me." ”

When the aunt saw the white silver, she was overjoyed and said, "This child must have been thinking about his family affairs as soon as possible, and he has saved so much money over the years. Okay, okay, you can go with peace of mind, I will discuss this matter with your uncle later. ”

Zheng Boduan was sure in his heart, so he bowed and retreated.

But he said that Zheng Boduan's uncle returned from a tour of the store, and as soon as his aunt told him about it, the uncle said: "I see, this kid has saved some private money, you can go and take it with me." ”

The aunt handed the silver to her husband, and the uncle took it in his hand, looked over and over again, only to see the font number chiseled on it, and shouted: "Not good! Woe to our whole family! (To be continued.) )
