Chapter 372: Reunion
Mrs. Wu went out in the morning to have a tea gathering with those ladies who were familiar with her on weekdays, and she also listened to a few words of ridicule, which made her angry, and persuaded her daughter for a while, but she was also angry and aggrieved in her heart, and couldn't help but tears fell more urgently, holding her daughter and shouting, the mother and daughter cried together.
The old man of the Wu family came back from outside, saw the appearance of their mother and daughter, frowned fiercely, waved his hand and drove the maids and daughters-in-law down, and said angrily, "What are you crying about, the sky is not falling, who let her go to the Zhao family to find herself boring, and now I know that I have no face to see people, isn't it too late?" ”
Wu Xiangyun cried so much that his sideburns were scattered, his clothes were wrinkled, he heard his father scolding, he didn't dare to refute, and he was really angry, so he had to whimper, "Since my father is a tool for marriage, I first set my marriage to Brother Fengnian, and then transferred it to Zhao De, and now that Brother Fengnian is back, why can't I be reassigned to Brother Fengnian?" ”
"You, you unfilial daughter, your mother and I only have such a daughter as you, who is willing to send you to get married, it was you who liked Zhao Fengnian at the beginning, so I came to the door to ask for marriage in person, that is, your uncle has some plans, and it is also after the re-marriage, Zhao Fengnian disappeared, changed the marriage contract to Zhao De's head, you also nodded, and now you come to complain about us, what is the reason?"
Mrs. Wu saw that Master Wu's face was not good, hurriedly wiped her tears, stepped forward to pat his chest and back, and fed him half a cup of warm tea, and then persuaded, "Master is angry, it is a big deal for my daughter's family to choose a husband, then Zhao Fengnian is indeed a hundred times stronger than Zhao De, and now that he is the head of the family again, there is no conflict with Brother Yu's calculations, it is better to... Why don't you come to the door again to explore Zhao's mouth? ”
Wu Xiangyun heard her mother intercede for her, and she also stared at her father, Master Wu was helpless, and sighed, "There is no news from the eldest brother, presumably there is something important in the court, I don't know what his arrangements are, if it is rash..."
Wu Xiangyun saw his father's hesitation, and immediately got out of bed and knelt down and cried, "Dad, my daughter doesn't know what the uncle's arrangements are, but what arrangements are inseparable from the silver, Brother Fengnian is now the head of the Zhao family, as long as his daughter marries him, the Zhao family will be inseparable from our Wu family, so naturally I have to help the uncle do my best." If I marry Zhao De, as long as the Zhao family pretends to be and separates the family, how can I contribute when something happens? Even if the uncle is here, he will definitely support the remarriage contract if he hears about it. ”
This is really reasonable, although Master Wu likes poetry and books, and is a little pedantic, his brain is not stupid, marrying Zhao Fengnian is more advantageous than marrying Zhao De, how could he not think of it.
It's just that the Wu family is also one of the best scholars in Tongcheng, when Zhao Fengnian disappeared and changed the marriage contract, he was already secretly criticized and ridiculed, and now if the marriage contract is changed back again, it will simply be a loss of face, how can Master Wu not be able to pull down his face and go to the Zhao family to explore the wind, but the Wu family's plan in the court must need the support of money, and his daughter is so on a hunger strike, Master Wu is also ruthless.
Wu Xiangyun was annoyed, his eyes rolled, and he said, "Yesterday, the sister of the Guan family heard that I was sick, and came to visit, saying that the Hu family had already made a post and wanted to invite Brother Fengnian to the banquet. If the father is embarrassed and hesitates to come to the door, maybe, the Zhao family will become the in-laws of the Hu family in a few days, and when the time comes, don't say that the uncle will blame you, that is, the daughter would rather starve to death than marry Zhao De! ”
"Is that true?" Master Wu can't sit still now, the Hu family is a rival with his own family in the court, his daughter liked Zhao Fengnian at the beginning, and after setting up a family affair, the bigger the Zhao family's business, the Hu family regrets it to the extreme, and now if it is exploited, isn't it just a waste of time, and a daughter?
"Okay, I'll go to Zhao's house tomorrow night, and then let's talk about it, if Brother Fengnian is still angry about changing the marriage contract, Daddy must explain a few words." Wu Xiangyun was overjoyed and instructed his father one after another.
Master Wu was helpless and glared at his daughter, "Acting for the father, can you still teach you?" Don't worry, even if your father can't do this, if your uncle wants to use the Zhao family, he will definitely find a way to let you get what you want. ”
"Thank you, Daddy." Wu Xiangyun took the reassuring pill, and his whole body seemed to be full of strength immediately, and he turned to his mother and smiled, "Mother, my daughter has to cut two more sets of new clothes, and the head and face of the jewelry must also be new." ”
The daughter was happy, and the mother was relieved, so naturally she was full of words, and Master Wu thought about the gossip in the city in the past few days, and instructed, "There are elders in this matter, so don't go to the Zhao family to make noise again, if you provoke any more gossip, it will be over if you completely ruin your reputation." Remember, there are many good men in the world, but the Zhao family is not successful, and there are other families to choose from. ”
Wu Xiangyun didn't care in his heart, but his face was very well-behaved, "Yes, daddy, my daughter must no longer annoy her father." ”
Mr. Wu nodded with satisfaction, got up and went out, Mrs. Wu instructed her daughter a few more words, called someone to serve hot porridge again, and watched her daughter eat a full bowl before leaving.
Since the last time he coldly drove Wu Xiangyun away, Zhao Fengnian thought that the fate between the two was completely over, and when his father recovered, even if he dealt with the mother and son harshly, thinking of blood relationship, he would also leave Zhao De with his life, and when the time came, he would be divided into a shop, or a small grange, and then marry this Miss Wu family, even if he was benevolent and righteous.
And he and Wu Xiangyun are at best a brother and sister-in-law, and they can only be brothers and sisters-in-law.
It's a pity that this is just his wishful thinking after all, he completely underestimated the woman's persistence and cheekiness, and was destined to be turned upside down by this rotten peach blossom.
On this day, the things in each shop were arranged, and a few cousins took care of it smoothly, but there could be no big mistakes, Zhao Fengnian was rarely free, and ordered the kitchen to set up a table of wine banquets, and invited a few close friends to drink and gossip.
Needless to say, Bai Zhanpeng is one, and the bookworm Chen Jiading also came to the door with a fan, and complained that Zhao Fengnian was heavy on money and light on friends as soon as they met, and only remembered his friends when he returned to his hometown for a month, that look and tone, as if there was no difference in this year, but he was naturally familiar with the meeting the next day, Zhao Fengnian's heart was warm, he stepped forward and hugged him, patted his back vigorously, and provoked this nerd to have red eyes, and he also read a bunch of them, and finally struggled to laugh and scold, "You cold-faced God of Wealth, in vain I wrote a few thousand words of eulogy for you, It's hard to meet again alive, and you actually slapped me with a dead hand. ”
Zhao Fengnian laughed, pulled him out, pushed him aside, and looked at another man in a green shirt behind him and laughed, and suddenly punched the opponent's chest at the same time, the man kicked back two steps, and scolded with a smile, "You guy is hard-hitting, he won't die, and his skills have actually increased a lot." ”
Zhao Fengnian smiled even more proudly, "I just haven't practiced for three years, Luan Hong, you are not my opponent." ”
Luan Hong didn't refute either, stepped forward and gave him a hug again, Bai Zhanpeng entered the table first, grabbed the wine jug and poured the wine, and teased, "Just let it go, and hold it again, I'm afraid that some people will think that the daughter has been missing for a year, changed his temperament, and entered the way of Longyang." ”
Zhao Fengnian and Luan Hong turned their heads and glared at him at the same time, then let go of each other, tidied up the clothes on their bodies, and politely entered the table with each other.
The four white jade wine glasses touched one place, the sound was crisp and pleasant, Zhao Fengnian opened his mouth, there seemed to be a thousand words in his heart, but he couldn't pick out a complete sentence, and finally Bai Zhanpeng said, "Cheers, celebrate the reunion after a year." ”
Luan Hong and Chen Jiading both nodded and echoed in a deep voice, "Cheers to the reunion!" ”
The four of them raised their heads and drank the wine in the toast, raised their chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, ate and drank slowly, and slowly talked about the new things in the city, but they all didn't ask why Zhao Fengnian had disappeared for a year, after all, no one was a small family, and everyone had seen and experienced those tricks in the shadows, but they all knew that it was not suitable to talk about it in the sun, even if they were lifelong friendships, the ugliness of the family could not be shared.
Chen Jiading is the most invincible, but after the third round, he was dizzy and blushing, shouting to go home, and he wanted Zhao Fengnian to send him back in person, everyone laughed, and after many years of friendship, everyone knew that this bookworm was a strict wife, and he was definitely afraid that his wife would misunderstand and wanted to pull Zhao Fengnian, who had the best reputation, as a witness.
Luan Hong quipped, "Brother Chen, I finally came out for a small gathering, how can I go back with all my fun, the left and right sisters-in-law are all angry and punished for kneeling, at least you have a good drink, it is enough." ”
"That's it, that's it," Bai Zhanpeng said helpfully, "The more our brothers get married, it will not be easy to get together in the future, and we all have to act according to the woman's eyes." ”
"What do you mean?" Luan Hong squinted his eyes at Bai Zhanpeng and Zhao Fengnian, as if he understood something, his thick eyebrows were slanted, and his handsome face immediately became more narrow, and he smiled, "Is it possible, Brother Zhao wants to renew his marriage with Miss Wu?" It's not that I'm talkative, then Miss Wu is also a heroine among women, and there are few women in the world who dare to rush into the man's door to show goodwill, which shows that she is sincere to Brother Zhao..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Jiading retorted loudly, "Wrong, this is very wrong!" Brother Zhao must not marry the Miss Wu family back, you must know that she made a marriage contract with you at the beginning, it should be from the beginning, after you disappeared, but in March she was reassigned to Zhao De, no matter what the big reason is, it is a defection, such a woman has a loss of morality, how can they marry back as a wife? ”
Luan Hong didn't care, reached out and poured a glass of wine, poured Chen Jiading and drank it, and said with a smile, "You have to subdue your fierce wife in the family to be qualified to say this." ”
Chen Jiading's face was flushed, he grabbed the wine jug, took another big sip, and said with a stiff neck, "I pity my wife, serve the elderly, take care of the children, and it is not easy to make a living. ”
Bai Zhanpeng glanced at Zhao Fengnian, who was eating and drinking slowly, and sneered, "You people who are afraid of your daughter-in-law have a lot of excuses. ”
Luan Hong saw the clue this time, grabbed Bai Zhanpeng's sleeve, and asked, "What does Brother Bai Xian mean by this, is Brother Zhao also afraid of his daughter-in-law?" Brother Zhao got married? ”
As soon as Bai Zhanpeng was about to speak, he heard someone outside the window answer, "He is not only married, but also the father of two children!" ”
The four people who were originally crooked on the chair suddenly sat up straight, three surprised, one surprised.
