Chapter 45: A Chance Encounter

"Give the elders of the clan two kinds of fruit candied pastries, too much is too eye-catching. This article was written by...... "Zheng Lao Er couldn't put it down, touching the short sword in his hand and reminded.

"That's it!" Zheng Laosi pouted, "No matter what time it is, people's hearts are like that." You are rich, and he is jealous. You're poor, he laughs. ”

That's true. Zheng Laosan nodded, and added, "Which family has a descendant who is studying, it is more practical to send a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone." "For those who are not from a good family, the four treasures of the study are luxuries, and the children are all written with wooden sticks and sand tables, or clear water. Several children of the Zheng family came over like this. So the experience is deeper. I nodded involuntarily, this is a good thing to accumulate kindness.

"Then we have to sell it separately!" Zheng Qingluan quickly stood up and pointed to the West House, "The pen, ink, paper, and inkstones in here are all high-quality products, and they are treasures that can be heirlooms." It was a gift that was going to be left for a few older brothers. Then he said to Zheng Laosi and Qian, "Even Brother Shilang and Brother Liulang can't use it, and the nephews won't need it in the future." Then he emphasized, "I can't bear to give it to others!

The Song family was overjoyed by Zheng Qingluan's words, and seemed to have seen his grandson who was shaking his head and reading with a book, and immediately responded, "Then don't give it to yourself!" ”

Zheng Laosi nodded frequently, who is willing to give away something that can be used as a family heirloom?

Wang Xinghua had just arranged for the people in the courtyard and listened to it outside the door. He smiled and walked in, "What's it worth? Pick something practical, finish lunch, and let Saburo Goro do it. ”

Seeing that everyone nodded, Zheng Qingluan was relieved. It's good not to give away her baby indiscriminately.

Mama Fang looked funny, this girl was quite calm when she saw the jewelry, although she also liked it, but she only loved it. But when I saw the four treasures of the study and the paints for painting, I was simply ecstatic and couldn't put it down.

Qian rarely showed such emotions when he saw his daughter, and he didn't force her. Besides, if the child says it's a good thing, it must be a good thing. She was also reluctant! So she discussed with Zheng Laosan, "If you don't buy a pig anymore, the family will get a piece of meat." There are several big truckloads of things here, and I'm afraid it's going to be rumors today-"If it's not over, if you don't send something, you don't know how to arrange you?"

Zheng Qingluan looked at the Qian family with admiration, if it was usual, her mother would have ordered San Lang Goro to do this little thing. Where will Zheng Laosan's opinion be sought? It's just to make a face for a man in front of his brothers. These are really worth learning from her!

"Then let Saburo Goro do it. Zheng Laosan paused, "Buy some more polished rice and fine noodles and give some to the orphans and widows in the village." Let's just say that it is a gift from our second aunt. He said to Wang Xinghua again, "Peace! You are different from the situation of the Xiao family." ”

When Wang Xinghua and Zheng Qingju got married, each family was a pound of snacks and half a pound of sugar. It was already very decent at that time. Some people who have a bad time are all sent 'happy porridge', a bowl of thin porridge for a family, sticky and joyful, and the etiquette is good. People who are in a slightly better situation will send three or two sugar cubes and a handful of peanuts to each family. Therefore, the Wang family's gift was absolutely generous and decent at that time.

Wang Xinghua said with a smile, "Look at what you said, I want to pay more attention to this, who have I become?" and said to Zheng Qingluan, "You can see what there is again, add a little more, and give the patriarch two points of courtesy." ”

Everyone understood what Wang Xinghua meant. In the future, it is indispensable to use others, build a good relationship in advance, and if the clan does not cause chaos, it is better than anything else. Zheng Lao Er praised: "Ping An is thoughtful!"

Zheng Qingluan looked at Mama Fang, when it came to gift-giving, she was really not good at it.

"Back girl, it's better to add a few taels of bird's nest and a pound of rock candy to the old family. Expensive and decent. Add another twenty or thirty-year-old ginseng to the patriarch. Mama Fang suggested with a smile. The key is that these things are not old or young, and they can't eat so much, and the condition will naturally be poor when the time is old. Ginseng has lost its medicinal properties.

"And what about this thing, I didn't pay attention?" Zheng Qingluan was surprised.

Because they were all eating, the girl said that there was no need to look at it, and the slave didn't mention it. Mama Fang bowed her head. She didn't think it mattered.

"I'll take a look. Zheng Qingluan said and went to the West House, and sure enough, he saw more than ten catties of bird's nest and a whole box of lighter ginseng.

"Girl, this is all for the girl to give away. Mama Fang pointed to another box, "This is Blood Swallow." It is the most nourishing and is kept for your own food. The ginseng that is more than 50 years old has been put away. Life-saving things don't just sit there so casually. She explained in a whisper.

Zheng Qingluan nodded clearly, her mother-in-law was really - she couldn't help sighing, maybe she could only get close to her son in this way, Zheng Qingluan checked them one by one, "Your Highness is not easy! ”

Mama Fang's eyes immediately turned red, kowtowed gratefully, and didn't say anything. Zheng Qingluan helped her up and patted her hand comfortingly, "The coming day is long!"

Mama Fang smiled tearfully and nodded heavily. She knew in her heart that the meaning of the words 'the coming day is long', and it seemed that she had said everything, and it seemed that she had said nothing. If there is no bad heart, mother and son will be able to reunite. If you have a bad heart, -, hehe-, the coming day will be long!

Zheng Qingluan walked out and said, "It's a lot! If you eat well, buy it and send it later. She winked at Qian and Song. The two immediately understood, and said in unison, "No matter how difficult it is, it won't lose the mouth of the old man and the old lady." ”

Zheng Lao Er stopped first, "You can send it if you have ready-made ones, and you don't have to eat these things." We are the croppers who do our duty, don't fix those moths. Besides, who the old lady is, can we not know? If you send it with the front foot, she can sell it to you with the back foot, exchange it for silver money, and subsidize the boss and the little sister. She is used to asking for some expensive food every once in a while, do you say that you will give it or not?"

Zheng Laosan and Zheng Laosi both nodded, they knew best what kind of virtue their mother was. Lian Sheng responded, "Listen to the second brother." ”

Qian and Song glanced at each other, and they were victorious!

Zheng Qingluan asked Wang Xinghua again, "What is the situation of my brother-in-law's brothers-in-law, and how should I be polite?"

At this time, people were very faithful, burned incense, kowtowed, and left as serious brothers. Wang Xinghua didn't expect the Yue family to make a face for himself like this, he hesitated for a while, "It's similar to my situation." ”

Everyone understands that this means that the status will not be very high, there is some small power in the hands, and the family background is relatively solid. Zheng Qingluan looked at Mama Fang, Mama Fang prepared a four-color ceremony, a pound of tribute tea, and a pound of candied fruit secretly made in the palace. One pound of ageing, one stick of ginseng. Zheng Qingluan nodded.

Wang Xinghua was a little at a loss, this is too heavy. Zheng Laosan nodded, "Although you are an official now, you need help in many things. The Wang family is not prosperous, you will inevitably lack helpers, these righteous brothers, you have to treat each other well, and you can't be alienated because of your identity. A good man needs three gangs!"

Wang Xinghua bowed down solemnly to lead the training. This is to take all aspects into account for yourself. If you don't look at your daughter-in-law, you just look at your father-in-law, and if you don't treat other people's daughters well in the future, you will have a disturbed conscience.

Things were discussed and lunch was ready. The family ate in a hurry, and then went their separate ways. Zheng Lao Er and Zheng Lao San want to send Ruan San and his party away, and it is inevitable to prepare some special products as return gifts. Zheng Laosi and Song went back to see the store, "Replaced Shiro and Liulang to come over and accompany San Lang Goro to run errands." "Buying things and giving gifts door-to-door, you have to go to the juniors, and Shiro Liulang is indeed more useful than Zheng Laosi. Qian was busy and happy, "I was about to tell you! I'm afraid that if you say I'll pick you up!" she laughed with the concubine in a good mood.

"When it's time to take advantage, I won't leave. Song replied with a smile as he walked out.

"Then my brother-in-law and I will go to the county seat to have a look, and we will come back when we buy someone. Zheng Qingluan got up.

"Won't it be night when you come back?" Qian was not very relieved.

"Let's go on horseback. Zheng Qingluan explained, "It won't take an hour to go back and forth." Someone was bought to have the teeth delivered, and they walked slowly in a carriage, and there was nothing to worry about. I will come back before dinner. As she spoke, the person had already gone out, and when she turned around, she saw Xiao Baba's door frame, with a pitiful look of yearning, and smiled helplessly, "Sister is back to buy you roast duck, and I promise that it will be hot when I get home!"

"Girl, I'll go with you!" came out the girl named the bow.

"Forget it today!" Zheng Qingluan looked at the girl in the long skirt, "We are riding horses, it is inconvenient for you to do this." I'll take you next time!" said and suddenly jumped up, clasped her pulse, seeing that the other party was stunned, Zheng Qingluan smiled mischievously, "Now you can rest assured?"

After saying that, he let go of his hand and went to the stable with a laugh. There's something interesting about this girl!, a gleam in her eyes.

There were not many pedestrians on the official road, and when they spread their horses and ran, the dust raised could bury people. Damn, this one feels so different in a modern racecourse!

When she arrived in the county seat, she finally understood what to do as a 'dust servant'.

Wang Xinghua saw Zheng Qingluan's embarrassment, and was a little funny, in the end, she was a delicate little girl who loved to be clean. "Go to the teahouse!"

Zheng Qingluan hurried up, it would be too comfortable to wash up in the private room, drink a cup of hot tea, and eat some snacks. As soon as the horse was bumped, the lunch at noon was digested early.

As soon as the two entered the teahouse, they unexpectedly ran into Erlang and Zheng Qingman, who were about to go out of the checkout.

At this moment, they were surprised by each other. Wang Xinghua didn't know Erlang, but seeing the faces of Sanlang Gorou who had a bit of imagination, and then looking at Zheng Qingluan's reaction, there was nothing he could guess.

"Brother Erlang, Sister Man'er. Zheng Qingluan was a little surprised, "Why didn't you say a word in advance when you came back? ”

"Little sister!" Erlang didn't expect to meet here, and looked at Wang Xinghua next to him, "Let's go in and talk." ”

The four of them entered the box and greeted each other, Wang Xinghua and Erlang were the same age, but they also called out willingly, "Brother." ”

Zheng Qingman hurriedly asked someone to bring hot water to wash, and then spoke slowly
