On the sixth day of the eighth month of the year 518 in the Shenzhou calendar,
"Sir, do the math, what name should I change?" Cha Wu's father took his son to see the fortune teller.
"It's you...... Or is he?" the fortune teller rubbed his eyes and sat up straight from his chair, he pointed to Chawu and his father, and then to Chawudao.
"It's me," Cha Wu's father pointed to himself.
"Why did you change your name?" the fortune teller touched his beard.
Zha Wu's father just wanted to speak, but the fortune teller hurriedly said, "Slow, let me guess." ”
"Because of fame, yes or no?" Zha Wu's father just wanted to nod, but then shook his head again.
"That must be the way of wealth," he looked at Cha Wu's father and son, who were neatly described, not like a poor family, but unexpectedly, Cha Wu's father still shook his head.
"That's ......," Cha Wu didn't wait for him to finish, he had already replied first, "for the sake of asking for a son." The fortune teller glanced at his father strangely, but saw that the other man bowed his head as if he was embarrassed but also did something.
"I see. The fortune teller nodded knowingly, "I have two sons in Mr. Guan's face, but they are just ...... fit."
"How's the right talent?" Zha Wu's father glanced at him, and then took a few steps forward and whispered, "Mr. said slowly, wait for me to get away with the child first." ”
"Wu'er, just passing by the embroidery village, my father suddenly remembered that your mother had asked me to bring a few Shu brocades back when she went out, you should buy them quickly, lest your father forget again. "Zha Wu's father said to Zha Wu.
Cha Wu didn't doubt him, nodded and went.
The two waited for Cha Wu to go away, and Cha Wu's father said, "Please give me advice, the right child is here, I have some words that I have not said, and today I will ask Mr. to give me a good name to solve my worries." ”
The fortune teller shook his head, "I'd like to hear about it." ”
Cha Wu's father went through the matter one by one.
It turned out that Cha Wu was not from his mother-in-law, when Cha Wu's father was a child, because his father died early, the orphan and widow lived next to his aunt's family, because his aunt often gave money, and his cousin was just the age of age, and the two families had the intention of getting married. It's just that Cha Wu's father was admitted to Xiucai, and he was appreciated by the county school and politics at that time, praising him for his article kung fu, if he can study hard, he may not be able to go further. And there is also a meter merchant surnamed Mu in the county, although the family has quite a lot of assets, only a son and a daughter, the son is not a study material, and the daughter has just reached the age of marriage, so he moved some thoughts, wanting to provide for the family to do things in one fell swoop, and they all say that there are people in the court who are easy to do, if there is a son-in-law who lifts people, and then gives some silver taels, how can he not open the door of the official family? Master Mu gave his daughter to Cha Xiucai, and Cha's mother's family got a rich dowry, and there is a guarantee for further study in the future.
Besides, the uncle-in-law died, and the cousin had to keep filial piety for three years, and then the aunt buried the uncle-in-law, and took the cousin away to southern Hunan, and no one mentioned this family affair.
Who knew that after seven years, although Zha Xiucai worked hard between the Five Classics and was white in the Four Books, his article skills have rarely improved. Master Mu has prepared the silver taels for him, but Cha Xiucai has repeatedly failed in the exam, and it is difficult to make any progress.
And Zha Xiucai has also been married to Miss Mu for six years and has nothing to do. Miss Mu is a delicate rich lady, with a pampered temper, and she doesn't know how to write and ink, Zha Xiucai gets along with her, not to say that the red sleeves add fragrance, nor to say that they respect each other like guests, but they are all angry.
