Chapter 68: Carrying a daughter-in-law back to the village
I heard that Baozhu can carry a two-hundred-pound sack, but I don't know if it's true or not?
Jiang Cheng looked down at the bulging cheeks, staring at He Shoutang with big eyes, and his hands were crossed on his waist and his mouth was pouting.
"It's too late, I really want to bet that I'll talk about it tomorrow."
Stretched out her hand to touch her little head, but her eyes looked at Jiang Mingzhu: "Mingzhu, don't listen to his nonsense, I'll talk about my mother." ”
He didn't want to let Jiang Qiuniang's mother and daughter have a gap with his family because of Hao Dahe's matter.
Mingzhu's face was not very good, and her body was a little cold.
She didn't dare to think about the worst, if she was really said by He Shoutang, then she ...... Isn't it really what he said, in order to protect the reputation of the Jiang family's daughter.
Either commit suicide by throwing himself into the river, or marry Hao Dahe with a bad reputation.
"Hmm"
Her eyes were red, and she choked up.
The voice was hoarse, although it had been deliberately held, but it still heard a little clue from it.
"Miss Mingzhu, don't worry, I'm very tight-mouthed, and I will never tell the second person about today's events."
Baozhu stretched out his finger and counted how many of them there were: "One, two, three, four, five." Are you bad at math? ”
"What is math?" He Shoutang frowned, how could this little girl speak strangely?
She was referring to arithmetic?
The scientific name is quite novel.
Baozhu pulled Mingzhu's hand: "Second sister, let's go back first." Let Brother Jiang Cheng tell Granny Hao. ”
She wrinkled her nose and glared at Jiang Cheng angrily: "If he can't solve it, I'll help you solve Hao Dahe." ”
This fierce look was not only Jiang Cheng and Mingzhu, but even He Shoutang was taken aback.
Is this the look that a five-year-old doll should have?
"Children, always like to fight and kill."
He Shoutang tapped her brain again, and she looked quite fierce, like a wolf cub.
"We are reasonable people."
Baozhu touched his head and glared at him angrily: "Long-winded." ”
Jiang Cheng's eyes flickered, he glanced at He Shouguang, and quickly shifted his gaze.
He has always felt that He Shoutang is different from other classmates in the academy, and he has never been able to explain why.
Today he finally understood what was different, He Shoutang had a kind of gangsterism, although he was holding a fan, wearing brocade clothes, and pretending to look like a cynical rich kid, but some small details of his living habits still revealed his identity.
"Let's go back."
Jiang Cheng interrupted He Shoutang's words, and comforted Jiang Mingzhu again: "You also take Mingzhu back first, I will solve this matter." ”
Mingzhu nodded, pulling the reluctant orb back.
Baozhu turned his head, grinned at He Shoutang, and waved his fist: "Hmph, who do you look down on?" If you have the ability, I'll see you tomorrow in the mountains, so that you can see how I caught wild boars. ”
"Okay, I'll watch." He Shoutang smiled.
Turning around to meet Jiang Cheng's inquiring eyes, he asked solemnly, "Brother Jiang, what are you watching me do?" ”
Touching the root of his nose in a sneer: "Do I have flowers on my face?" ”
Brother He didn't have a flower on his face, but he remembered for a moment that he didn't know where Brother He was? It doesn't look like us from the south, but like the northerners."
After thinking for a while, he teased and asked, "Are your parents at home?" What did the ancestors do? Have you ever been married? ”
"Well, I'm a northerner. The family is engaged in the grain and grass business, and if the parents do not have an accident, they should be able to live to eighty-eight. This did not Kang Wang and the Goguryeo people rebelled, and the family was afraid that my lone seedling would have a mistake, so they asked me to come to the south to study, and by the way, to avoid the limelight. ”
These words seem to have been said a thousand times, and the face is not red and breathless, so that people cannot find the slightest mistake.
"You don't want to marry Miss Pearl to me, do you? Otherwise, why do you ask me if I have a match? ”
He looked at Jiang Cheng in shock and began to think seriously: "Actually, Miss Pearl is not bad......
"Don't talk nonsense, although I call me brother, I am not her blood relative, how can I be in charge of her marriage."
"Hey, why are you in a hurry?"
He Shoutang stared at him with squinted eyes, and for the first time he saw the gentle Jiang Cheng angry, he felt very strange.
Jiang Cheng didn't speak anymore, just glared at him: "You don't want to marry Mingzhu, even if you like it in your heart." ”
"Why? You said it yourself, Miss Mingzhu is not your sister-in-law, and you have no right to interfere in her family affairs. He Shoutang asked knowingly: "Besides, marrying me is better than marrying that Hao Dahe, or Xiaohe, right?" ”
patted his chest and said confidently: "My son is not only personable, magnificent, and has a prominent family background. Which point is not better than the big river and the small river? ”
"Because of this, it is even more impossible for you to marry Mingzhu."
Although Jiang Cheng was born in poverty, he knew everything about them, the wealthy and wealthy families.
"The daughter of our Jiang family, how can there be a reason to be a concubine."
In the words of the village chief, their Jiang family, the last three generations have also produced big officials, although it is now in decline, but they also pay attention to the rules.
"Who said she was made a concubine?"
He Shoutang was a little anxious, puffing out his cheeks and looking unconvinced.
Jiang Cheng just smiled, and the sarcasm in his eyes was not too obvious: "Can you make your own decisions about your marriage?" ”
"Naturally."
He Shoutang held his head high and said confidently.
Jiang Cheng didn't think he heard it and said this? It's strange that he believed it.
Seeing that he didn't believe it, He Shoutang was extremely aggrieved, he didn't believe it?
When his eldest brother carried his sister-in-law back from the mountain, he made a wish since he was a child, and when he grew up, he would carry a daughter-in-law back to the village to be majestic.
Back home, Jiang Cheng went back to the house, his room was originally occupied by Jiang Qiuniang's family, and tonight Jiang Qiuniang had moved to a new house with Mingzhu and them.
The originally lively yard was quiet all of a sudden, and I was a little unaccustomed.
After letting He Shoutang rest first, he turned around and came to Granny Hao's house.
"Shoutang, didn't you go for a walk with Gongzi He? Why did you come back so soon? ”
Granny Hao put down the needlework in her hand, Jiang Cheng lowered her eyebrows and glanced at it, it was a brand new piece of cloth cut out of a men's coat.
Apparently it was made for him.
Looking at what Granny Hao was wearing, there were patches on her shoulders and knees.
It was still worn on her after changing from his old clothes.
"Mother, I said, I have enough clothes to wear. Don't make clothes for me anymore. ”
He walked over and sat down beside her, took the needlework basket, and did not let her continue to sew.
"Harm, how can this work, you are studying in the academy, you can't save it, if you are at home, it is better to say, you are wearing tattered clothes in the academy, and your classmates in the academy will look down on you."
Stretched his neck and looked into his room: "You came back in a hurry today, there is no meat at home, will you treat Gongzi He badly?" No, tomorrow I will ask your third uncle and aunt to buy a chicken to support the scene. ”
