Chapter 66: Festive
Chapter 65 Festive
Is there a father who sends a concubine to his son-in-law to pit his daughter?
Yes! Absolutely! Zheng Manchu is such an old thing that pits girls!
The patriarch took two sips of wine on the kang head of his house, and couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth-
The patriarch's mother-in-law is a kind and kind old lady, known as a good aunt. The younger generation does not refuse to be called so by age. I don't know if this is someone's name or everyone's nickname. It is said that this good aunt has not blushed with anyone for decades. It's very kind to people. Now seeing that the old man of his family is sitting cross-legged on the kang, and he doesn't even talk about the rules of three broad beans in a sip of wine, he knows that he is very angry.
Three beans in a sip of wine, this is for fear of hurting the body if you drink in a hurry, and it is also for the sake of saving wine and beans, and not throwing away the cost.
"No one has any objections from their own families, what do you say are you angry about? It's a shame that we don't have a daughter, it's really heartfelt. Aunt Shan sighed that the old lady of the Zheng family would have to hang her heart high for such a little girl in the future, "There is no one who understands the two of them." ”
The old patriarch took another sip of wine, and frowned spicily, "There are many people in his Zhao family, but there are fewer people in the Zheng family." Asked someone to come to the door, and he confessed!" He slapped the table vigorously, "It's a loss, and the accompaniment is not such a way! After that, if the girl of our Zheng family does not have a son, will the in-laws have to come to the door and let the Yue family pay for a concubine?" said that the anger was a little bigger, "Is this a human thing?"
This good aunt didn't go to her heart at the beginning, but now when she hears the old man say this, it's really true. There are many girls from the Zheng family who have married, and there are really many who have not given birth to sons. If you meet someone who doesn't make sense, you can really come to the door. If you don't say that you want to serve a concubine, it is to compensate for the silver, which is also a troublesome matter. She stroked the old man's back and told him to dissipate his anger, "It can't all be such unreasonable people! Everyone who understands knows that Lao Ba is a fool, who can really take him as an example. A good number of sons were forced to leave home, and that was a litter of children and grandchildren. If you put it on ordinary people, isn't that going to kill you? Do you see if the old couple cares? They agreed without blinking an eye. It can be seen that they are all people who have no one else in their hearts. She saw the old man chewing the broad beans slowly, looking listening, so she poured a glass of wine and pushed it over, and said with a smile, "This is old, and he is not ashamed to be unclear with the people in the family, and even the children have been brought out." For a fetus that is still in the womb of the mother, I don't know whether it is a man or a woman, whether it is good or bad, and I don't even want my biological daughter who is almost thirty, how ruthless this is. Although that girl is not a worry-free person, the eighth child's approach is too much! Other people can't laugh at him, who can learn from him? Isn't that a mallet?"
"You have a point. He sighed, "Today, I saw the third and fourth daughters-in-law in the old house, and the third and fourth daughters-in-law were stunned and didn't show up." The two members of the second family also hid. "There seems to be some dissatisfaction.
"You can get there quickly! Aunt Shan couldn't help but argue, "The second and the second family went to the county seat, and they went the day before yesterday." People don't know anything about their family affairs at all! People also have a family and a job in the provincial capital, and now they are willing to leave all their family business behind and stay in their hometown for half a year, which is very good. The third daughter-in-law came over with ginseng stewed chicken soup early in the morning, I took a look, the chicken was stewed all night, the ginseng slices were quite large, and the year must not be shallow. said that the third child wanted to wait for the second child to come back, and the brothers brought generous gifts to Zhao's house to make amends. I didn't expect people to come so quickly, and I led the children into the mountains to study before dawn, how cool the mountains were. Besides, the fourth child is carrying a burden to beg for a living, walking the streets and alleys, where to find someone. The fourth daughter-in-law threw down the business of the two shops to help, and it was rare to have this heart. What else do you want?" The second and third children gave a lot of things to their own families, not to say a fair word, sorry for the generous gifts of others, she whispered again, "In the second half of the night, the carriage of the county government went to the third child's house, I went to ask, saying that I came to send the post of the flower viewing party." That's it, I didn't see the third child show up, it was the third daughter-in-law who took the post and sent someone away. It can be seen that I don't really want to hide. ”
"The post of the county government!" the old patriarch was taken aback, "It seems that this room has indeed risen." ”
As he was talking, he heard his daughter-in-law talking to someone, and he saw that there was a visitor to the house.
"Daddy, Brother Sanshui sent someone over. "Behind him came the old fortune head.
Handing over the food box, Lao Fu bowed and saluted, "Our master sent the little one to add a dish to you, saying thank you! ”
In the food box is a braised chicken, two fried fish, and two fresh fruits. There are not many gifts, but they are also intimate, and the dishes are still hot, apparently just out of the pot and delivered. The fruit is a snack for a few little grandchildren.
Aunt Shan smiled slightly, and her heart was extremely ironing. Helping people is not just a thank you word, but people can always take it to heart, which makes people feel very comfortable.
It turned out that the family talked about today's old mansion at the dinner table, and the Qian family said with emotion, "Speaking of which, our Zheng family is not afraid of their Zhao family, good guys, the patriarch brought a large group of descendants and surrounded the people of the Zhao family." "I look very happy," I don't usually think it, but now that I get people together, I find that our clan is definitely prosperous. He said with some disdain, "I don't know what my father-in-law thinks, why buy a concubine if you can solve it decently by buying two acres of land! Full of sympathy and sighing.
Zheng Laosan seemed very calm, his father had lived for such a long time, and he had never done anything clear. Maybe who did it this time, buying a concubine is not that he underestimated the old man, his brain couldn't think of such a good trick. When he saw that the fish on the table was browned on both sides, he said, "Uncle Patriarch has made a big effort, and he is always troublesome to others, so let's add two dishes to the old man." ”
That's where the food delivery section comes in.
"I just grinded mung bean noodles at home, dozens of catties, I thought about steaming mung bean cakes now, and I sent some of them today, which is also a meaning. Zheng Qingju put down his chopsticks, it was rare to be so generous. "I'm afraid that our family will have to bother the clan in many places in the future-"
"That's what Ju'er said. Let's do it!" Qian agreed. She had planned to send some fruit from the garden, but the farmer was not necessarily rare in this thing, and the wild fruit on the mountain was enough for the children's mouths. It's a dim sum, and no one is willing to buy it on weekdays. Besides, what you do at home is to spend some beans and hundreds of dollars, so why not do it.
"Hmm!" Zheng Qingluan agreed, "It's appropriate to eat mung bean cake now." ”
When it got dark, almost every family received a gift from Zheng Laosan's room, a pound of mung bean cake, and a few fresh fruits. It is said that Zheng Laosan is a kind and courteous person. The popularity that used to be good is now a little better.
Early the next morning, the sky was bright, and a fast horse stopped at the door of Zheng's house.
Lao Futou was cleaning the bluestone road at the door, and saw his eldest aunt Wang Xinghua coming quickly. His little grandson had already rushed in to report the news.
"Auntie!" the old man was full of surprise, "What are you?"
Wang Xinghua stuffed the reins of the horse, "Good life to take care of the horse!" After speaking, he walked briskly inside.
Although Lao Futou saw that although his face was tired, he could not hide his joy, which should be a good thing. I'm afraid I came all night to report the news.
At this time, the Qian family had just gotten up and finished freshening up, and Zheng Laosan only got up after listening to the report of the blessed land, and stood in the courtyard waiting only in his middle coat and robe. As soon as he saw the appearance of the eldest son-in-law, he hurriedly said, "No one cares about big things." Then he instructed Qian, "Bring food quickly." He twisted the handkerchief himself and handed it over, "Wipe it first." After eating, wash well and get a good night's sleep. ”
Wang Xinghua was moved in his heart, and he was not hypocritical, and said while wiping his face, "Xiao Yunfeng sealed Chang Ninghou, and the hereditary five generations began to descend. After speaking, he helped the stunned old man to sit on the stone bench in the courtyard, "I only saw the Di newspaper last night." I hurried back. ”
Qian personally served a bowl of noodle soup, with a layer of sauce meat on it, floating coriander and minced green onions, fragrant and attractive, "Eat quickly! ”
"Look at what you said!" Wang Xinghua ironed in his heart, "That's a hereditary title." In the future, your grandson will not be the Hou Ye. "This means that Zheng Qingluan and Xiao Yunfeng's children can attack this title.
Qian was naturally happy in his heart, and he couldn't see his teeth when he smiled, "Borrow the auspicious words of our eldest aunt!" ”
Living in a courtyard, they all wake up after a little movement, and they all gather in the courtyard to say hello to each other.
Zheng Qingju came out of the kitchen with a wooden plate again, a bowl on it, and inside the plate were three small sesame baked cakes, which were sandwiched with shredded pork in Beijing sauce and a bowl of fish head tofu soup, because he was afraid that Wang Xinghua would not be able to eat enough. She put the plate on the stone table and pushed it to the opposite side, not speaking, but she was indescribably considerate. Wang Xinghua's eyes were bright and scary when he looked at her. She said a little uncomfortably, "Everyone is here, where did this dead girl go?"
Only then did everyone find out that Zheng Qingluan was not there. Mama Fang came over with a smile on her face to congratulate her, "The girl went out for morning exercise half an hour ago, and she should be back soon." ”
At this time, Zheng Qingluan was in a stone crevice in a mountain wall, carefully took out a bamboo tube, opened the fire seal, and said, "Seal Chang Ninghou, five generations will descend." ”
Zheng Qingluan burned the letterhead, and he couldn't tell what it felt like in his heart, like a big stone finally hitting the ground.
"Chang Ning, Chang Ning!" the corners of her mouth curled, "If you want Chang Ning, there is a long way to go!" But no matter what, the Long March has finally taken the first step.
Thinking that Xiao Yunfeng could finally stand in the sun, justifiably and openly appear in the Zheng family, his heart couldn't help but fly.
Rushing all the way home, the congratulations of the people with smiles on their faces made her heart move, who became the magpie of the annunciation so early?
