Chapter 153 Employing the Tiger
After the banquet was dispersed, Wang Chengde and Wang Chengtu went to the shop on Silk Street to check the situation, and Lan Yi and Zheng cleaned up the dishes.
Wang Chunrong was the most excited, he was just a little guy next to Wang Mingzhe, responsible for running errands, where did he ever think that he could participate in the management of the store at the age of seventeen, so after everyone dispersed, he was still excited, and when he had nowhere to vent his feelings, he took the initiative to start coaxing Yu'er and Wenxuan to play, and rode them both on the kang as horses.
The two children are lively and active, and after a few laps, Wang Chunrong was tired and paralyzed on the kang, and complained very exaggeratedly, "I didn't think about playing with the children so tiring, my uncle can't do it, you can play by yourself!" ”
Yu'er and Wenxuan hadn't played enough, so they grabbed his arm and asked him to get up and continue to be a big horse. Yu'er still said in her small mouth, "Uncle, you are too weak." The second uncle can stretch out his arm to swing for me and my brother, and the second uncle doesn't say that he is tired after playing for a long time! ”
Wen Xuan saw that he couldn't pull his uncle over, so he pouted and sat on Wang Chunrong, "Uncle is stupid, he can't run as fast as a sunspot." ”
Lan Yi laughed, Kuroko is a real high-headed horse, can Wang Chunrong and Kuroko compete in speed!
Wang Chunrong was paralyzed as mud, "Sister, you hurry up and marry your brother-in-law, and let these two boys harm him." Speaking of which, where did my brother-in-law go in the past two days, and he didn't come to show up. ”
Zheng smiled and slapped Wang Chunrong to get him up, "Look at your faceless appearance, be careful that your father comes in and watches!" Of course, Wei Ji is the object that is ready to make a decision, my mother went to the temple yesterday and counted it, Tao'er and Wei Ji are two people in the sky, and they are very right. ”
Lan Yi scratched her head when she heard this, is she and Zhou Weijideng's right, or is Chun Tao's eight characters and Zhou Weijideng's right? Whatever, anyway, now he is Chun Tao, Chun Tao is himself, and he is just trying to be auspicious.
When Yu'er heard their words, she ran over and hugged Lan Yi's neck, "Mother, does Uncle Zhou really want to be a father for me and my younger brother, then he can play with us every day in the future?" ”
Lan Yi smiled and nodded, "Yes, does Yu'er like it or not?" ”
"I like it!" Yu'er Meimei smiled, he finally had a father again.
Wen Xuan stood on Wang Chunrong and jumped and shouted, "Mother, the baby likes it too." Ride a big horse and lift it high. ”
Seeing the happy appearance of the two children, Zheng smiled reassuringly: "The children have clear eyes and are the most sincere, who really likes them, they can see it clearly." After getting married, there is Wei Ji, and Tao'er can worry less about snacks. ”
Lan Yi nodded, and when she saw Wang Chunrong frowning at herself, she made a grimace at him. Lan Yi felt that Wang Chunrong and his younger brother were of the same age and temperament, and gradually showed their true feelings, Zheng looked at the lively Yikang people, smiled more and more happily, and did not stop them from playing, only lowered his head and continued to do needlework.
"Mother, Yu'er has long known that Uncle Tuesday likes her mother. He always looked at his mother and smiled, and touched his head. Yu'er was smug and felt amazing that she could find such a big thing.
Lan Yi was like being struck by lightning, this child is only six years old, and he is too precocious!
However, it's easy to understand when you laugh, what does touching your head have to do with liking?
Wang Chunrong listened to Yu'er's words, sat up and hugged Wen Xuan in his arms, and laughed: "Good nephew, you have a chance!" Mother, sister, when it comes to making a decision, I think I know what my brother-in-law is doing! The day before yesterday, I heard him ask Brother Dao about where there are tigers in the mountains, and he must have gone to the mountains to hunt a tiger and come out as a gift for his father. ”
Zheng listened to Wang Chunrong's words, and didn't believe it at all, "You are really drunk and your brain is not clear, is the tiger so easy to hit!" Besides, your father also told Wei Ji that now it's just a small decision, and you can only ask the matchmaker to pay the red. ”
Wang Chengde was grateful for Wang Linshan's second uncle Wang Minshan's family for taking care of Lan Yi's mother and son for more than a year, so he told Zhou Weiji to set up a relationship between the two first, and then officially decided to send him to the appointment after he went to meet the second uncle Wang. Wang Chengde thinks about his daughter everywhere, since she wants to marry in Beigou Village, Huang County, although she is somewhat wronged to marry as Wang Linshan's widow, it is much easier than clarifying her identity, and it is easier to be accepted by the Wang family and the Zhou family in Beigou Village. Since her daughter was married from Wang Minshan's family, she returned to Beigou Village and then made a gift to give her appointment, firstly, to save the face of Wang Minshan's family, and secondly, to let the people of Beigou Village know that Zhou Weiji had done enough courtesy to marry her daughter, and she was not treated lightly because she was a widow.
Lan Yi hung her head and was silent, when she was in Beigou Village, she often heard people talk about Zhou Weiji's heroic deeds of going into the mountains to eliminate tigers, and she also believed that Zhou Weiji had such an ability.
However, the tigers of this era are all wild kings of the forest, not the big cats in zoo cages in modern times!
No matter how powerful Zhou Weiji is, it is dangerous to encounter a tiger, how can Lan Yi not be worried. When he told himself that he was going to do important things, did he mean that he was going to go into the mountains to fight tigers?
This man is really ,......
But Lan Yi didn't understand that he did this because he valued himself and his family.
August 25 is a good day for marriage, acceptance, and alliance, and the matchmaker invited by Zhou Weiji came to the door early in the morning to propose marriage.
Zheng smiled very happily when he saw this middle-aged matchmaker with a big red handkerchief in her hand and a flower arrangement on her face and a powdered head, "It turned out to be Mother Wang, I said that two magpies are chirping on a peach tree today, it must be a good thing, come in, come in." ”
Mrs. Wang is a well-known matchmaker in Meixian County, and Zhou Wei can invite her to come to the house to propose marriage, which is a very face-saving thing in Zheng's opinion.
Dressed in professional attire, Mrs. Wang smiled very exaggeratedly but not annoying, she looked Lan Yi and Wang Chunrong up and down and praised, "Brother Wang, sister-in-law, you two are really blessed, these children are all good, my wife can't envy them." ”
After speaking, her gaze turned to Dao Wufeng, a little stunned by his appearance, and wanted to praise two sentences but really couldn't find the right words.
Dao Wufeng only couldn't do it, turned around and went out to go back to the wing.
Wang Chengde was also the most impatient to deal with such a woman, so he quickly avoided it with a polite sentence, Wang Chunrong couldn't stand her hot eyes and avoided it, only Zheng greeted her with great interest.
Lan Yi put away the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, served tea again, and returned to the back room with the two children after saluting.
I don't know if Zhou Weiji gave her a lot of matchmaker money or if she was like this matchmaker, Wang Matchmaker was stunned and praised Zhou Weiji one by one, it was like a heavenly king, Lan Yi was so sore when she heard it in the back room. This eloquence has come to modern times to engage in product promotion, and it is definitely a gold medal sales, and it is divided into a lot!
After drinking two pots of tea and eating up three plates of dim sum in a satisfactory atmosphere, Mrs. Wang took the eight-character farewell of Chun Tao's birthday, and after Zheng sent her to the door, she leaned against the door for a long time, until Mrs. Wang agreed to find a few suitable families for Wang Chunrong with the attitude of "her family's affairs must be handled well", and Zheng returned to the house satisfied.
As soon as Mrs. Wang left, Mrs. Zhou took a carriage to pick up Lan Yi and the children to meet Mrs. Zhou. Lan Yi didn't go out in the past two days, and even Mrs. Zhou didn't see her grandson, and she kept thinking about it.
Wang Chengde had already told her that the Lan family might have been involved in the disappearance of the eldest lady, and now they were eyeing Chun Tao again, and it was inconvenient for Wen Xuan to enter and exit. Mrs. Zhou was not confused, although she didn't know the specific reason why the Lan family was eyeing her daughter-in-law, she guessed eight or nine times and said bluntly, "Wronged, wronged!" ”
Mrs. Zhou has not stopped these two days, Wang Mingli goes to Mrs. Zhou every day to settle the province in the morning and dusk, and serves Mrs. Zhou to eat and drink medicine diligently and thoughtfully, Mrs. Zhou ignores him or clearly damages him A few words, Wang Mingli just didn't hear it, like a filial son. He also ordered someone to renovate the second room, and specially prepared a house and study for Wen Xuan, saying that he wanted to take on the heavy responsibility of taking care of his nephew and raising him to adulthood.
In addition, Wang Mingli asked the housekeeper Wang Chengsu to send the account books of Yao Yirou's private treasury and the list of things that Tian took from the private treasury to the magistrate's mansion with great fanfare, and handed them directly to the magistrate's wife. He didn't mention the divorce of his wife, but he also didn't mention when he would take Tian's mother and son back to the Wang family. On the street, it was rumored that the Tian family was driven out of the house by her husband for stealing the things of the big house unruly, and while everyone blamed and ridiculed the Tian family, they actually felt that Wang Mingli's move was deeply righteous and had the ability to cultivate himself and the family.
Mrs. Zhixian felt that her concubine had done a really disgraceful job this time, and she had smeared her mother's family, so she couldn't help but blame the education for how to behave in accordance with the rules and abide by the way of women. Tian naturally understood the meaning of Wang Mingli's move, if she didn't make up the items in Yao Yirou's private vault, she wouldn't want to go back to the Wang family. After all, Tian is a married daughter, and it is impossible to stay in her mother's house for a long time, so she became anxious, so she had to grit her teeth and take her private money to fill the loophole.
Wang Mingli fought beautifully in this turnaround battle, but he calculated the Tian family and curryed favor with Mrs. Zhou to gain fame for himself, which was really chilling. A selfish and stretching person like him is like a dog skin plaster, once it is stained, it is difficult to get rid of it, and it is really difficult to deal with.
is worried here, but Zhou Weiji is excited. On August 28, Zhou Weiji followed the matchmaker to the small courtyard of the Wang family, and took out the divination book of Chun Tao and Zhou Weiji's eight-character marriage, and said that the monks in the temple calculated according to the numbers, these two should be a match made in heaven, and they are very compatible......
According to the custom, Zhou Weiji asked the guy to carry a Luosheng wine bottle with eight big flowers and a bonus colored by Luo Juan, and he carried two live geese and carried a heavy burden into the door.
Wang Shaoyan's mother was very happy when she heard that Chun Tao invited her to kiss, and she no longer restrained her son from letting him go out. Wang Shaoyan looked at the red Dingli and Zhou Weiji with a happy face, and his heart was sour.
After sending away Mrs. Wang, Zhou Weiji directly put the burden on the table and opened it, and it was really a colorful tiger skin with blood inside, and the family was dumbfounded.
This can't be just peeled off the tiger, right? The tiger is a national first-class protected animal! Lan Yi was shocked, but this fur is really beautiful and smooth.
Lan Yi looked Zhou Weiji up and down, and was relieved to see that he didn't look like he was injured.
Zhou Weiji spread out the tiger skin, took two oilcloth bags from it, and said sincerely: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, this is today's Najib gift." The son-in-law has no long things, so he went to the mountains in the past two days to hunt a hairy child for your second elder and came back to make clothes. The oilcloth was the liver, gall bladder, bones, and other materials taken from the tiger's body, and they were brought over one piece. ”
Wang Chengde and his wife also recovered from their surprise, and Zheng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You can bring a pair of live geese over." These are all good things, and they are usually hard to see, Wei Ji, you still take them to the street to exchange some silver, and you will have a good life in the future. ”
Wang Chengde also persuaded, Wang Chunrong reached out and touched the tiger skin, and looked up at the tall brother-in-law's eyes as if looking up at a star idol he admired to the extreme.
Zhou Weiji waved his hand: "This is a son-in-law's heart, your second elder Mo refused." My father-in-law and Chunrong have been locked up in prison for more than a year, and the prison is damp and inevitably damaged to their muscles and bones, and these things are just right to use. ”
Zheng was worried about the health of her husband and son, and when she heard Zhou Weiji say this, she no longer shirked, and directly accepted the things, and saw that Zhou Weiji was even more satisfied.
Yu'er and Wenxuan also came up and asked Zhou Bo how he caught the big tiger, you must know that the tiger is a terrifying existence in their hearts, and when they were in Beigou Village, the old people in the village used tigers to scare the children in the village.
Zhou Weiji squatted down and picked up the two children, and explained clearly in a few words that he had encountered a tiger in the mountains, Wang Chunrong did not follow, and he was going to pull him to talk about it carefully, but Zhou Weiji said as a matter of course, "It's really just that." ”
Lan Yi had heard Zhou Weiji talk about the war, and knew that compared to such thrilling, hunting a tiger was indeed nothing to him. She was psychologically moved and distressed, and her eyes became softer and softer when she looked at him.
Zhou Weiji felt Lan Yi's gaze, looked down at her, his eyes were full of smiles, Lan Yi really found that he involuntarily stretched his arm and touched his head.
Lan Yi thought of Yu'er's words, and couldn't help laughing out loud when she looked at his silly appearance.
Zhou Weiji stared at her smiling face, and the smile became even stronger.
It feels good. R1152
