Chapter 37 Dong Huang's Visit
readx;? Ziluo and the eldest brothers and sisters were sorting out the gifts they received today in the hall, when suddenly there was a knock on the door of the courtyard. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info Ziluo thought, who will this be, it's almost time to make dinner, who else will there be?
Zishu went out to open the door and was surprised to find that the person who came turned out to be Dong Huang with a smile on his face. It's no wonder that Zishu would be so surprised, because since the turmoil of the last incident, the Dong Huang family and the others have never dared to come over to Zishu to trouble them, after all, their handle is still in the hands of Zishu and their brothers and sisters.
Even if they met in the village, Dong Huang's and their families would pretend not to see Zishu and them, snort and turn around and leave, of course, Zishu and they would naturally not come forward to find themselves uncomfortable when they saw Dong Huang's family, and Zishu and their family had not communicated for a long time. Now that Dong Huang suddenly came to visit with a smile on his face, it was no wonder that Zishu would be so surprised.
"Second uncle, why are you here?" Zishu asked.
Zixuan also wanted to see who was coming, but as soon as he left the hall, he saw Dong Huang at the gate of the courtyard, so he ran back to the hall and asked Ziluo and them to quickly put away their things. Ziwei and Zitao didn't ask anything, and they packed up their things very cooperatively. Ziluo was stunned for a moment.
Soon the things were put away, and Ziluo asked curiously, "Who is here?"
"Ah Luo, you forgot, it must be the second uncle who is here, otherwise the second brother would not have reacted like this. Zi Tao said.
Ziluo originally just wanted to tease everyone, because they looked like they were facing a great enemy. Now I can't help but get nervous when I see Zitao say this, because in the memory of the original owner, there are indeed many examples of the Dong Huang family and them coming to fight the autumn wind.
Once Dong Huang and the others come to see what they like, they will definitely take it away when they leave, even if they don't fancy anything, they will pick a basket of vegetables in the backyard. It's just that since their mother's death was gone, the things that Dong Huang and the others took were all asked by Ziluo to ask Zishu and them to ask the village chief for compensation. After being threatened by the village chief, Dong Huang and the others didn't dare to come to the door for a while, and then they had the handle in Ziluo's hands, so they didn't dare to come to the door.
On the one hand, this is because there is a handle in Ziluo's hands, and on the other hand, because they think that Ziluo's family has no oil and water to scrape. Now it won't be Dong Huang's family, they will be bold when they hear that they are rich, and they want to repeat their old tricks! Ziluo thinks that if they really have such an idea, she will definitely strangle their idea in the cradle!
"Then let's go meet them for a while. Ziluo sharpened her knife and said authentically.
Ziwei and their original nervousness were also relieved a lot by Ziluo's funny appearance.
"Okay, let's go meet them for a while and see what kind of waves they can make. Zi Tao said domineeringly.
With that, everyone hurried out to prepare for the battle together.
"Second uncle, why are you here?" Zixuan asked as soon as he walked to the gate of the courtyard.
"I know, second uncle, you must have come to give a gift to our family. Ziluo replied pretending to be naΓ―ve.
At the beginning, Dong Huang saw that Zixuan and Zishu's questions were exactly the same, and the smile on her face was a little unbearable, and when she heard Ziluo's reply, the smile on her face was completely unbearable, but she did not forget the purpose of her coming here. Moreover, she still has a handle in the hands of Zishu and their brothers and sisters, and she is also lacking in confidence.
So, she had to smile and say, "Hey, don't scorn you second aunt and me." Now who in the village doesn't know that you brothers and sisters have gone lucky, and where will you look at the things of our poor families now. β
"Second uncle, you are laughing, our brothers and sisters are just having a full meal for the time being, how can we dislike your rituals. Zixuan also grasped the words of this ritual.
"That's it, second uncle, bring any rituals! Our brothers and sisters will never dislike it. The eldest brother taught us that etiquette is light on friendship. Ziluo also continued with a smile. Seeing that Dong Huang didn't dare to be angry, and had to pretend to be friendly, Ziluo felt particularly relieved.
When Ziluo saw Dong Huang's unusually appearance, she knew that she must have other ideas, but Ziluo was not afraid. The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth.
"I just came to ask, is there a Young Master Liu from your family today to give you a gift for the festival, is this Young Master Liu the son of the shopkeeper of the famous restaurant Jufangzhai in the town?"
Ziluo and the others were very puzzled why Dong Huang came to inquire about Liu Hong, so Zishu said tentatively: "Second uncle, do you also like the food in Liuxianglou?"
"Where can our poor family afford to eat the food of this Liuxianglou!"
"Then what are you doing with these questions?" Zishu then asked.
"You don't understand this, aren't you very familiar with the Liuxianglou in the town, I heard that you also regularly supply them with prey, you just need to tell me the specific situation of the Liuxianglou and the situation of the young master of the Liu family, and you don't have to worry about the rest." Dong Huang said.
"This is not good, we don't know what you want to know about this, how can we rest assured to tell you this, and besides, our relationship with this Liuxianglou is not as good as you said. We're just general partners. We don't know much about their affairs either. Zishu replied directly.
Dong Huang saw that Zishu and they didn't get in the oil and salt, and thought that there was nothing unpleasant about the things she wanted to know, maybe she could ask Zishu and them to help.
Although the relationship between the two families is not good now, Sister Mei is also Zishu's cousin, so they can't help but help! So, she said to Zishu: "Let me tell you the truth! My second uncle and I both think that the young master of the Liu family in this Liuxianglou is very good, and we all think that he is very suitable to be our son-in-law, so we want to ask you about the situation of this young master Liu." β
"However, Brother Liu is only fourteen years old this year, and he is still studying at a private school in the town. Shopkeeper Liu is still counting on Brother Liu to take a fame test. How could you be so quick to get married. Moreover, my cousin is fifteen years old this year, and she is older than Brother Liu. It's also not quite appropriate. Zishu thought it was incredible!
Ziluo and the others were also stunned!
But Dong Huang, who felt good about himself, didn't notice their expressions, and when she heard Zishu say that Liu Hong was still studying and preparing to take the meritorious test, she was even more satisfied with this family business, and happily continued: "Then Young Master Liu is still studying, that's even better, I still think it's a little unbearable to ask Sister Mei to marry a businessman." Moreover, fourteen years old is not young, and it is already possible to get married, first to marry, and then get married after a year or two. Besides, there's nothing wrong with a woman being older. β
After hearing this, Ziluo felt that there was a flock of crows flying overhead!
"Then you go and help us talk to Shopkeeper Liu tomorrow, and we can make an appointment to see each other at a time." Dong Huang continued.
"That's not good! We're all kids ourselves, so how can we help others be matchmakers. Moreover, we and Mr. Liu are only in a cooperative relationship. Zishu hurriedly excused himself.
Dong Huang thought about it, it was indeed unsafe to ask a few children to be matchmakers, and it was better for her to go out in person.
"That's it. Then let's see the situation for ourselves. After Dong Huang finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
"Did I hear it wrong? Cousin, they fell in love with Brother Liu?" After Dong Huang left, Zitao still felt incredible.
"I think it's just the second aunt and they are hot. The marriage pays attention to the right family, and the lintel of the second uncle's house is obviously not able to reach the shopkeeper Liu's house, and the probability of success in this matter will not be very high. Zishu calmly analyzed.
"That is, in my opinion, if my cousin is so high and low, she will probably become an old girl in the future. Zixuan also said.
"People still want to be the wife of an official. Hey, didn't the second uncle say before that they wanted to find an official young master or a talented master for their cousin to be an official wife. How can you fall in love with Brother Liu now?" Zi Tao said puzzled.
"Yes, how did the second uncle think of asking Brother Liu to be their son-in-law? Could it be that Brother Liu came to our village today, and the second uncle and they saw it will make the second uncle and them have such an idea. Ziluo guessed.
I have to say that Ziluo is half the truth!
"Shall we tell Brother Liu about them? I'm afraid that the second uncle will make some embarrassing things. Zixuan was worried.
"Let's see what happens. Second uncle, they shouldn't have done anything too out of the ordinary. Moreover, I believe that Brother Liu will also have a plan in their hearts. However, when we go to buy the things to be used for the winter solstice tomorrow morning, we can properly remind Brother Liu and them of the relationship between our family and the second uncle's family. I'm afraid that Brother Liu will take care of our relationship with the second uncle's family, and some things will be embarrassed to say, if it is difficult for Brother Liu and them to do because of this, it is not ours. Zishu saw very clearly, the possibility of shopkeeper Liu agreeing to this family affair was very small.
Zishu also understood the importance of the lintel to the family affairs from Dong Mei's family affairs, and thought that he must work hard to change the conditions of the family, so that Ziwei and the others would not be disliked when they found their in-laws in the future.
"That's too. Zixuan also felt that what the eldest brother said was very reasonable.
Then, Ziluo and her siblings continued to count the winter solstice gifts they had received.
Jufangzhai sent a gift of more than 20 catties of pork leg meat, two large boxes of their famous dim sum peanut crisp, and more than 50 catties of white noodles. Then there are three sets of pen, ink, paper and inkstones for Zishu and Zixuan and Xiaoliu, and the other three boxes of exquisite head flowers, which are estimated to be for Ziluo and their three sisters.
