Chapter 8 Zhou Deng's marriage
Zheng was beaten by Pearl, and a few times, this is the second time, if the cooking is still unqualified after a few days, don't blame her mother-in-law for being reckless. Ask Zheng to send everything back, and inform Zhou Rong and Zheng that if they are found to be stealing again, they will be separated immediately. Zhou Rong doesn't want to divide it now, now it is obvious that the family has money, if he goes out, he will not be so moisturized, so he pretends to be very honest.
After all, Zhou Rong is a member of this family, and Pearl doesn't care, but Zhou Ze has paid the most to this adopted son, so Pearl also tried to give him a way out. Therefore, Pearl deliberately went to Zhou Rong's study and looked at the house, there were a lot of books, all of which were four books and five classics, but Pearl also found a lot of books, talented and beautiful women. There are also some fire avoidance diagrams, and the number is not small. Pearl originally had the intention to let Zhou Rong study hard, but now it seems that this son is considered a waste, he is clumsy in doing things, he can be taught well, and he is not right, and there is no way to change it. Forget it.
The four girls often go to Pearl's back room now, Pearl handed over all the jewelry to them, and took out fabrics for them to make clothes for the family, and Zhou Ze and the third child's clothes and cotton clothes were handed over to them. In the case of pearls, the newly made cloth jacket skirt and brocade robe are embroidered with patterns, and these clothes are put on the outside of the cotton jacket. Now there are four girls, each with two sets of muslin skirts and two sets of silk glitter skirts. There are also two robes of Hangzhou silk and four skirts for each person. Shoes they can make themselves.
A few girls are very happy now. Now Pearl not only teaches them to read and write, but also to draw. Teach them embroidery, but also teach them rules, etiquette. He also taught them to play Go and learn the rhythm of music, so they chose the simplest hole flute, which will not scare chickens and ducks into laying eggs when practiced.
Pearl felt that the daughter of the Zhang family was good, although the third child was not interested, but it was good to let him go and see it, so he called the third child. Today, Zhou Deng put on a new cotton coat. He wore a dark blue muslin robe. There are also ornaments on the belt. Pearl asked him to go to Zhang's house to order two more embroidery frames, four smaller ones, and a larger table. There are also ten stools, a deck chair. He also said that he should be polite to others. Zhou Deng was stupid and went.
Wait for someone to go. The four girls went to the yard to practice their fists and feet. Pearl looked at them. Said to Zhou Ze leisurely, "The children are really like you, look at it." Obviously they are four girls who are like flowers and jade, how can they also like to dance with knives and guns? ”
Zhou Ze also saw it, looked at his four daughters, and then at his wife, and said, "Yes! If it's a son, it's definitely better than me. If you enter the army, you will definitely be able to mix in official positions. "Not becoming an official is the most regrettable thing in Zhou Ze's life.
Pearl knows that recently her emotions have been greatly affected by the emotions of the original owner, and she always recalls the past events of the husband and wife. For so many years, although he and Zhou Ze are not much in love, their lives are also steady. It can also be said that she is a little too indifferent to Zhou Ze. Husbands and wives have never had a good heart-to-heart relationship and talked.
"I owe you too much in my life, the boss doesn't have to count on it, it's not that I'm prejudiced against him, I went to his study today to take a look, the serious books have fallen into dust, but those books that are not indiscriminate, I see the most, such a person, the father of two children, can you still come over? It's better to wait for the second child to give birth to a son and let him go to join the army, and at that time, we can also move back to our hometown. ”
Zhou Ze shook his head and said, "I've figured it out now, I don't have to go back to the clan, it's all in the past." Don't keep this in mind. Serving in the army will also be very hard and dangerous, and I can't let the second child take risks. ”
Pearl smiled and said, "It's not just the second child who wants to go, but the third child also means this." I'm afraid I can't persuade it. Those four girls, if they weren't too white and too slender, I'm afraid they would have joined the army! ”
Zhou Ze was even more happy and said, "If you want me to say, these girls are more talented." ”
Looking at their appearance, Pearl should be the most common boxing and stick techniques in the army, but a few girls look like tigers, and the daughters have a little ability, and it is not bad. So he put down the embroidery shed and walked to the four girls.
"Mother, why are you here? We're done. ”
"Look at you guys are too stupid, teach you well." Pearl said,
As soon as her voice fell, the four girls were very surprised, of course Pearl was not deceiving them. I taught them a few hands, but I didn't expect a few girls to be excited, and they learned even faster. When you meet a good apprentice, of course, the master is willing to teach more. Pearl's kung fu has accumulated for two lifetimes. Begin to teach them formally, from the most basic teaching, and then the internal strength of the mind. The smiles on the faces of the four girls finally appeared. I studied very hard.
When it was time to eat dinner, Zhou Deng came back, it is estimated that he was already a fascinated Mengden, looking at the look of wanting to talk and resting, following behind the pearl's buttocks, although today he ate stewed soybeans with pig's trotters, and fragrant white flour steamed buns, but this kid didn't pay attention to it at all, everyone knew that he went to Zhang's house to show others, and it is estimated that only this stupid boy didn't know. Including Zheng Xiaohuan and Meng Erya, everyone tried their best to hold back their laughter.
Pearl looked so unreasonable, put down her chopsticks, and said to her third son, "Zhou Deng, it's a little bit out of shape!" I've seen each other, and if there's no problem, I'll send a matchmaker to propose. Rest assured! It's going to get you married soon, so don't put on a look, she'll be in your bed. ”
"Mother!" Zhou Deng stood up suddenly, startling everyone,
"Sit down! If you marry a daughter-in-law, you won't know who your son's father and mother are, and your son will die. Pearl said very calmly, but listening to Zhou Deng's heart, and other people's hearts, it was all a sigh, although Zhou Deng had thick skin, but thinking of the mother who never got angry, once he got angry, the power was really amazing, and he quickly sat down. But the corners of his mouth were still upturned. Pearl put down her chopsticks and went inside. Zhou Ze has already eaten it, and he has been in good spirits recently. I saw the pearl come in. And he asked,
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, it's just that Aunt Wang showed each other, your son is very satisfied, and he is out of shape as if he has been poured into a soup, and he really can't stand it."
"Hehe......" Zhou Ze smiled, obviously very happy, and said to Pearl, "How is it?" That girl is beautiful? ”
"Good looking, good figure. Although it is only sixteen. But the long look is good. Very good at things. Also able to speak. I just don't know what this character is? Pearl said,
Zhou Ze asked, "What do you mean?" Do you think this girl is bad? Didn't you say it's good? ”
"Good looks, looks like they can work. In good shape. Talking. Thoughtful everywhere. My son likes it too. But the more this happens, the more worried I become. Once everything is good. I'm afraid that the bad place is often the most unacceptable to us. ”
Zhou Ze also frowned. But then I thought of something and said to Pearl, "Didn't I ask Aunt Wang for help just to find a good one and know the roots?" You shouldn't be wrong with that. Rest assured! You've thought about it too much. ”
Pearl thought for a while and said, "I don't want her to be so good, I can be like the second family, I will be relieved." Talk less, work more, and don't steal and play tricks. Such a daughter-in-law is what everyone is happy to see, right? ”
"That's right. But you can't expect everyone to be the same. There are some things, just turn a blind eye and forget it, we are all old, how many days can we live? Pretend not to see it, and this day will be better! Zhou Ze said,
Pearl has lived for several lifetimes, and she has never heard such remarks, she is really a little frightened, even if she has experienced old age, but which time is not held by her children and grandchildren, her eyebrows are erected, even the queen has to shut up! Oops! Really! Oh my life!
The next day, Pearl prepared a snack for Aunt Wang and asked her to go to the matchmaker. In the afternoon, Aunt Wang gave a reply, knowing that they were in a hurry, and the other party also understood. Soon. And the marriage was done. The dowry was also sent, including the four exquisite gold ornaments bought by Pearl, four silk rulers, and a few loads of ten catties of snacks bought last time, and then good wine, and some messy things. Finally, a dowry of sixty-six taels was added. This is a very generous dowry in the countryside.
In the first few days of the Chinese New Year, the Zhou family finally had a happy event, and the people in their family were all dressed in new clothes, and Pearl wore a jujube red stand-up collar robe with gold makeup and satin. The same is true of Zhou Ze, who was sitting next to him. Dressed in indigo makeup satin. Gold embroidered shoes. Two golden hairpins with gold leaves on the pearl's head, jeweled pearl flowers, and a prine forehead. The four daughters also wore bright skirts, pink, lake blue, emerald green and goose yellow jackets, embroidered on the jackets, pleated skirts, and embroidered shoes. He wears crystal beads on his head, a tourmaline bracelet, and gold earrings on his ears.
The women in the family were all deliberately dressed up, and Zhou Rong also took out the style of a scholar and began to assign work, the village chief came to the village, and there were a few Zhou Rong's fox friends and dog friends in the town. occupied the main table, and the guests of the mother's house could only be given the second seat. Pearl felt that this was not in accordance with the rules, but she could only endure it, and she had to go to the table of her mother's guests in person to say something nice. That's how it goes.
Pearl wanted to make Zhou Ze happy, not only invited all the people in the village who had a good relationship with Zhou Ze, but also specially sent rulers, the best tobacco, tea and good wine, saying that they would have time to come and talk to Zhou Ze. The shredded tobacco that Pearl took out, but the modern cigarette was dismantled, and it was also very laborious. There is also good tea in the space, two cans are packed in a bamboo tube, plus Moutai, which others can't buy if they want to. When Pearl saw someone coming to talk to Zhou Ze, it must be to send good tobacco, good fruits, snacks, tea, and candy, and the children who came with him could also get delicious food. So the Zhou family is very popular now. On this happy occasion, Pearl asked her son to send them two pieces of silk. Let these old people all dress brightly and come to the wedding feast.
The banquet specially invited a ready-made master, chicken, duck and fish, beef, mutton, pork, and eggs, all of which were sufficient. The drinks were very good and each kid had a full pocket full of sweets. It was noisy until the evening. That's when they dispersed.
When the people were almost gone, they heard the noise in the backyard, and soon there was no movement, Pearl hurried to look, her eyes were good, and she saw two brightly dressed daughters in the past,
"Wei Ji, Fan Ji, what's going on?"
"These two brutes want to take us as concubines. also said that the eldest brother agreed, Fan Ji and I came to the thatched house, and they were blocked here as soon as they came out, fortunately we have kung fu in our bodies, otherwise, I don't know what to do? Wei Ji snorted and said,
Pearl looked at the two guys on the ground and said to the two daughters, "You guys tidy up your clothes and call Dingjiang and Jingjiang back as well." Then see if there is any lack of clothes and jewelry, take off the clothes and change. Wash off immediately with soap. ”
"Yes!"
When her daughter left, Pearl got the two people into the space, carefully looking for what they were on, and did not see the ornaments on her daughter's body, but saw a piece of her daughter's underwear, which is not a second piece in the world. (To be continued.) )
