Chapter 231: A scholar surnamed Wei

I have always heard of Jiuzi Lane Jiuzi Lane, but Li Xin finally saw the true face of Jiuzi Lane. "Ya-Wen * Yan + Love $ First @ Hair"

Huixian wine, as the saying goes, the aroma of wine is not afraid of the deep alley, the more mellow the wine, the more love to drill into the depths of the alley, people passing by the alley smell the wine, it is necessary to praise a sentence of good wine fragrance, gluttonous drinkers who are accustomed to drinking wine and tasting wine will look at this kind of wine to buy.

For example, Guan Wen's second cousin, Zhao Changsheng, he was an apprentice in the winery, and his winery is also a century-old workshop, and the wine cellar wine pool wine trough is readily available, which is opened in the deep alley, and it is still very famous.

Jiuzi Alley, as the name suggests, is an alley for winemaking, and some other people live here and there.

Jiuzi Alley looks not much different from other alleys, and if you want to say the difference, it is just that a flag is hung at the mouth of Jiuzi Alley, and there is an eye-catching "wine" on it. Standing at the door of Jiuzi Alley, you can smell the aroma of wine inside.

Li Xin didn't like the taste of wine, so even if he was choked, he sneezed twice in succession, then covered his mouth and said, "The taste of this wine is too strong." ”

"That's really good wine!"

Guan Wen sighed and took two breaths. Seeing Li Xin glaring at him, he hurriedly restrained his expression, but his nose was still shrugged and he smelled the fragrance of wine coming with the wind.

Since Li Jin's affair came out, Li Xin has been extremely strict with Guan Wen's drinking. Sometimes Guan Wen was greedy and wanted to drink, but he just let him lick two sips of wine. In addition, Li Xin specially brewed a jar of medicinal wine and put it at home, and now Guan Wen drinks some medicinal wine every few days, and he has not smelled such a mellow and high-concentration wine for a long time.

After a while, Wei Shusheng walked out of Jiuzi Alley.

It's not much different from the last time I saw it, and my appearance and temperament haven't changed. But today, probably because of the treat, Wei Shusheng dressed up more steadily.

Seeing Guan Wen and Li Xinwei, the scholar hurriedly greeted him, and greeted Guan Wen and Li Xin without changing the scholar's rules, and said, "Brother Guan, sister-in-law Guan, you are here." ”

"I'm bothering you." Li Xin smiled. Guan Wen also smiled: "Brother Wei is more energetic than last time, is there a happy event at home?" ”

Wei Shusheng had a smile on his face, and while leading Guan Wen and his party inside, he replied to Guan Wen: "There is a happy event. I'm going to the state capital this fall. I've been worried about the problem of entanglement, and my teacher helped me find a job copying books, which paid a lot of money. I sell calligraphy and paintings on weekdays, and I think that the problem of entanglement can be solved when the time comes. ”

Wei Xingzhi smiled and asked Guan Wen: "Brother Guan is also in a good mood, but there is a happy event at home?" ”

"It's not a lot of joy, it's just that everything is going well at home. It's nothing bad, it's enough to make me happy. ”

As he spoke, he arrived at the Wei family's residence.

Wei Xingzhi said that their Wei family had a good background before, and it didn't seem to be an exaggeration, just this house, although it was small, it was exquisite, the layout was very reasonable, the light was very sufficient, and the windows were bright and clean. After entering the door, there is an empty courtyard. In the corner of the courtyard there were two sheets and mattresses, and in the center of the courtyard was a large round table with some dishes already served. On the right hand side of the entrance is the house. It's only three or two.

Li Xin looked at it, and suddenly a voice came from the room closest to the courtyard wall with his right hand: "Is it a distinguished guest?" ”

As soon as the voice fell, I saw Aunt Wei standing at the door, and when she saw Li Xin, she smiled: "It turns out that it is really a distinguished guest, no wonder my oil star exploded." "Ya-Wen * Yan + Love $ First @ Fa"

Li Xin hurriedly called "Aunt Wei", took the gift from Guan Wen and handed it to her.

Aunt Wei thanked Li Xin with a smile, didn't twist it, gave it to Wei Xingzhi and asked him to keep it, and said to Li Xin: "You sit down again, it'll be fine for a while." ”

"It's fine. I'll help you, auntie. ”

Li Xin also rolled up her sleeves as she spoke, and said to Ah Mei: "Ah Mei is also here to help the eldest mother, Ah Xiu, you take Yang'er." ”

The two sisters each responded, and Ah Mei's face was slightly red and followed Li Xin into the Wei family's kitchen.

Compared with the countryside, it is indeed much more clean, but it may also be because Aunt Wei and Wei Shusheng themselves pay attention to cleanliness. So the kitchen doesn't look messy at all. You can see that the soup is still simmering in the pot, but the fire on the other side of the stove is getting smaller and smaller.

Li Xin took the first step to light the fire, and said to Aunt Wei with a smile: "Auntie, let Ah Mei help you, I'll be lazy and just make a fire before the stove." ”

Aunt Wei naturally responded happily.

This time, Aunt Wei didn't look so old for the first time, and I don't know if it was because there were many happy events in their family or because the medicine caught by Wei Shusheng had an effect, but now Aunt Wei didn't show any signs of back of her ears at all. However, Li Xin subconsciously amplified his voice when he spoke.

Asking Ah Mei to help Aunt Wei do things is also Li Xin wants to see how Aunt Wei and Ah Mei get along. If Ah Mei can please Aunt Wei, this matter will be a third of the success. If the two people don't get along, it's just a guest doing the host some favors, and she naturally won't mention this matter.

Fortunately, after a while, Ah Mei also understands Aunt Wei's eyes very well, and always where Aunt Wei sees, Ah Mei stretches out her hand. It can be seen that Ah Mei also attaches great importance to getting along with Aunt Wei.

Aunt Wei thanked Li Xin while she was busy: "...... The method you told me last time, I'm still using it, and it's really much better, and it's not itchy anymore. In previous years, spring was always the most itchy, but this year I hardly felt anything. ”

Li Xin smiled and said: "It's all some earthwork, it's the most important thing that you don't itch now, auntie." ”

Aunt Wei listened comfortably, praised Li Xin and praised Li Xin's two sisters-in-law, and the sister on the side was embarrassed.

Li Xin just agreed, occasionally adding two sentences such as "Ah Mei has a good temperament and never quarrels with others", or "Ah Mei is ingenious, can do a lot of embroidery and needlework, and is willing to learn chores, and now housework is also a good hand".

After talking too much, Aunt Wei also paid attention, glanced at Ah Mei and said, "This girl is handsome, is she engaged?" ”

Ah Mei hurriedly waved her hand, and Li Xin replied with a smile: "No, she is only fifteen, so she is not in a hurry." ”

Aunt Wei smiled and said: "At the age of fifteen, you should be in a hurry, book early, lest you never find the right one when you get it." ”

This was said in Li Xin's heart.

When she married into the Guan family, Ah Mei was about to be eighteen, why didn't Guan Ming, who was a father, worry about his daughter's lifelong affairs? is also related to Wen Guanwu's brothers, and they can't tell the importance of things, and they have wasted Ah Xiu's good years.

Li Xin shook off this thought, looked at Aunt Wei with a smile and said, "It's not that I haven't met the right one." When choosing a husband for her, she must always choose a good one. She is white and capable, and I feel reluctant to give it away. ”

Saying that, Li Xin casually asked as if chatting: "Auntie, is Brother Wei engaged?" ”

Aunt Wei was stunned. After praising the unmarried girls in his own family, anyone asked the man's family if they were engaged...... The meaning of this is already clear.

Aunt Wei looked at Ah Mei who lowered her head. looked at Li Xin, who was sitting in front of the stove and lighting the fire, and smiled at her, and finally smiled heartily: "No, but the words of the matchmaker of the marriage parents' orders can't come from his temperament." ”

Li Xin secretly pondered, this is what Aunt Wei agreed, right?

Turning her head to look at Ah Mei, her face was already red.

Li Xin also laughed. There are other things to talk about with Aunt Wei, but at this time, Aunt Wei will ask Ah Mei if she says three words, but it has a bit of a sense of censorship.

Aunt Wei is very old, and Wei Xingzhi himself said that he was born when Aunt Wei was forty years old, and the brothers and sisters in front of him failed to stand. The Wei family is also a scholarly family, and Aunt Wei has a lot of etiquette, which can be seen when the chopsticks are wrapped in a handkerchief when serving the dishes and putting them on.

A girl with a character like Ah Mei. It should be able to please Aunt Wei.

The guest and the host had a meal happily, and Aunt Wei whispered to Li Xin: "Wait for my news in two days." ”

Li Xin's eyes flashed slightly, and he nodded with a smile.

Wei Shusheng drank some wine today. There was only one man with him, and the two of them didn't seem strange when they talked together.

Wei Shusheng grabbed Guan Wen's collar, and Wei Shusheng, who had drunk wine, still looked like a bit of a scholarly scholar, but it added two points of truth.

It is estimated that Wei Shusheng is not strong enough to drink, and he drank a little with Guan Wen today, and now he is drunk.

Wei Shusheng grabbed Guan Wen's collar with one hand, and kept saying "I'll tell you Brother Guan" in his mouth, and the other hand gestured in front of Guan Wen's eyes for a long time, but he still didn't say what he wanted to say.

Aunt Wei cleaned up the dishes, and Ah Mei went up to help. Ah Xiu was naturally not idle, she didn't go to the stove, she helped clean up the table, and said with a smile: "It's a serious thing to see Wei Shusheng coming to the hospital to get medicine on weekdays, but I didn't expect that after drinking, it would be the same as others." ”

Aunt Wei smiled: "My son is usually very honest and doesn't drink. Today he was happy, and when he saw the nobleman again, he naturally drank too much. ”

Wei Da looked at Wei Shusheng and said to Guan Wen: "Guan Jiaxian's nephew, let him say it, he drank wine, and many things are not unpleasant." With that, he smiled and went to the kitchen with the dishes.

Li Xin wiped the table and was thinking about spitting out the truth after drinking, but this sentence was true, and finally spoke after hearing Wei Shusheng, "I'll tell you about Brother Guan".

"How come others can sell my calligraphy and paintings for five taels of silver, and I will sell them for three or five hundred yuan at most......" Wei Xingzhi burped and asked Guan Wendao: "Brother Guan, you say, why is this ......?"

Li Xin was stunned for a moment, looked at Guan Wen, and asked him in a low voice: "You told him that the painting was sold for five taels of silver?" ”

Guan Wen nodded silently, also a little embarrassed, and held Wei Shusheng's side of the body and said, "Brother Wei, you are sober......"

"Brother Guan, I, I can't figure it out...... Wei Shusheng's cheeks were red, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "It's the same me, hiccup, the painting I painted, the words I inscribed, how can others ...... I can sell it for a high price of five taels of silver, and I, I painted better than the painting for you, but I only bought it for five or five hundred dollars...... Why? ”

Li Xin analyzed it in his heart, Wei Shusheng didn't say this to ask them for paintings or silver, but just to question his own ability - after all, the same thing, others can sell it at a high price, but he only took a fraction, and he was naturally very disappointed in himself.

However, what do Guan Wen and Li Xin want to say, saying that the painting was sold by Guan Zhi to an acquaintance......

It's a panic when I think about it.

Guan Wen was really hard to answer, so he only supported him and talked to him vaguely.

Wei Shusheng's body was soft, and he was helped by Guan Wen to lie on the table, and said again: "Although it is said that scholars should be light on fame and fortune, don't be a small citizen in the market, and quarrel too much with others, but I am still unwilling to ......" Wei Shusheng knocked on his head: "I am just a big mallet, I can't shout business, and I won't bargain with others...... If you want to be in business, you must also have the ability, who said that a scholar is a high-ranking businessman, and he will stink copper......"

Seeing that he was becoming more and more incoherent, Li Xin pondered for a moment and said, "Ask Aunt Wei where his room is, and take him to bed to sleep." ”

Guan Wen nodded naturally, Li Xin went to the kitchen to ask Aunt Wei, and Aunt Wei hurriedly came out and opened the door of Wei Xingzhi's room, Guan Wen carried him in and put him carefully on the bed, Wei Xingzhi was already drowsy, his mouth was smashed, and occasionally two words popped out of his mouth.

This can be regarded as disturbing the Wei family, and after looking at the sky, Guan Wen asked Aunt Wei to say goodbye.

Aunt Wei said: "Let's rest for one night and then leave." ”

"No, Auntie, there is still something to do at home." Guan Wen bent down slightly and said to Aunt Wei: "Brother Wei will wake up later, and I will bother Aunt Wei to help us talk about it, it is always rude for us to leave without saying hello to him." ”

Aunt Wei didn't even say no, and when she said goodbye to Li Xin, she said meaningfully: "My nephew and daughter-in-law will wait for me for two days." ”

Li Xin smiled lightly and nodded.

On the way back, Ah Xiu said a little inexplicably: "Sister-in-law, what did Aunt Wei tell you, what do you mean by waiting for her for two days?" ”

Li Xin glanced at Ah Mei, saw that her head was lowered, smiled and said, "It's nothing, Aunt Wei wants to see the time to see when the ringworm on her legs and feet will be cured." ”

Ah Xiu still didn't seem to understand, and Li Xin didn't explain anymore, but looked at Ah Mei with a smile and said, "Ah Mei behaved very well today, and she was generous." Girls just want to be like this, don't tie yourself down. Fifteen is a good time to go. ”

Ah Mei's face turned even redder, and until she sent Ah Xiu to Anhetang, Ah Xiu was still muttering in her heart - what did the sister-in-law mean by that? Why is Ah Mei blushing all at once?

Li Xin was also inconvenient to explain to her, she patiently waited for the reply from the Wei family at home.

If Aunt Wei discussed with Wei Xingzhi, Wei Xingzhi also felt that Ah Mei was good and was willing to marry her, then Wei Xingzhi and Aunt Wei, who wanted to come to the scholarly heirloom, would definitely send a matchmaker to kiss. Serious family affairs have to go through the hand of the matchmaker.

Li Xin also prepared a little, thinking about what to eat and drink and what to say when the matchmaker came.

Whenever she told Ah Mei, Ah Mei was too shy to avoid Li Xin and not see her.

After muttering like this for two days, someone really came to the door.

However, it is not the matchmaker that Li Xin is looking forward to, but Ah He.
