Chapter 34: Acid

"Son-in-law... The little nephew to Lao Tai, ah no, please say hello to my uncle and aunt! Farewell for four years, old... Uncle and aunt are still in style. Jia Hui said incoherently to Li Shouzhong, who was sitting on the main seat, to say goodbye.

Since that day, the ancestors have been feasted, the first day of the banquet is for the children of the Bafang Jia family, the second day is for the noble relatives, and the third day is for the banquet of the old Beijing and friends and friends.

Jia Hui, who had been drunk for three days in a row, was finally free, and hurriedly selected a few carts of gifts, went to the street from the door of Lixiangyuan, and went to the house of his quasi-father-in-law, Li Shouzhong, the priest of the country.

When you enter the door, you have to call Old Tarzan.

Hearing Jia Hui's subconscious spit out a few titles, the prospective mother-in-law covered her mouth and held back a smile, Li Shouzhong couldn't cry or laugh, his prospective son-in-law really hasn't changed at all.

The first time I saw him, I called myself Old Taishan, and my daughter, who was hiding behind the screen and peeking in shame, ran away in a panic, and knocked down her baby brother kiln porcelain.

He didn't eat for three days!

"Okay, good, good son-in-law, get up quickly, come, sit down!"

Li Shouzhong helped Jia Hui up and asked him to sit next to him. looked carefully at the prospective son-in-law who I hadn't seen for 4 years, and was full of emotion.

Who knew that the concubine born to a maid in the house is now a county marquis, and the official worships the great general!

In the past, he was worried that Jia Hui would die in the northwest and his daughter would be widowed, but now, he is back with full glory!

Li Shouzhong couldn't maintain his previous unsmiling face, and excitedly stretched out his hand to rub Jia Hui's wind and sun, as well as frostbite scars, and his big hands that became rough couldn't stop feeling distressed.

Ding Buwang, the Li family, was also the only son who had just given birth a few years ago, a son-in-law and half a son, before his son was born, he Li Shouzhong watched Jia Hui grow up, and he watched it as his own son.

"My son, what a hardship I have suffered all these years!" Mother Li also saw the scar on Jia Hui's hand, and burst into tears.

Li Shouzhong is like this, not to mention his mother-in-law, Jia Hui and Li Shouzhong's son-in-law spent a lot of effort to comfort the crying mother Li.

"Daddy, mother!" A little fat man of three or four years old ran in, and when he saw a big black man sitting in the hall, he couldn't help but feel restrained and hid in Li's mother's arms.

"Hehe, Shao'er come, come here, virtuous son-in-law, this is your brother-in-law, his name is Li Shao." Li Shouzhong beckoned, and the little fat man leaned on the edge of the table and rubbed to Li Shouzhong's side.

"Come, Shao'er, this is your brother-in-law, come and call someone."

Li Shao bit his lip and looked at the big black man in front of him timidly, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he called out to his brother-in-law sweetly.

"Hehe, really good, come, brother-in-law invites you to eat candy!" Jia Hui rubbed Li Shao's head and handed the toffee in his hand to Li Shao.

"Brother-in-law, I see my sister hiding behind the screen." After speaking, he raised his head and looked at Jia Hui expectantly.

Poof!

"Hahaha, you kid, a piece of candy is a mutiny?" Jia Hui laughed, and hurriedly took out a few pieces of toffee from his arms, and Li Shao unceremoniously took them into his arms.

"Ah, the old man's blue and white flowers!" Li Shouzhong, who was also laughing, suddenly realized what the sound was just now, screamed again and again, turned around and entered the screen and began to cry.

On the other side, a young girl walked out and stared at Li Shao angrily, Li Shao's body stiffened and shrank into Li's mother's arms.

When Jia Hui entered the door, he found that there was someone behind the screen, and he didn't say anything, just waiting for the person to jump out impatiently, and now that he had succeeded, he hurriedly looked over.

The girl was wearing a pale pink skirt and a white embroidered skirt underneath, as if she was in the fog of smoke, she seemed to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, except for a black hair, the exposed skin was snow-white, her face was beautiful and vulgar, and her temperament was cold.

Slender and tall, it is estimated that he is only a little more than a head shorter than Jia Hui, who is more than 1.9 meters, and the girl can reach his shoulder.

Mother Li looked kind, looking at Jia Hui, who was standing in front of her daughter and a little taller than her own girl, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

What did these two children eat to grow up, they grew so tall!

Jia Hui is a man, but her daughter is taller than her father.

His father is not short in the Manchu Dynasty.

Thanks to running into Jia Hui, otherwise how would I get married!

Mother Li took Li Shao's hand and took him away, so that these two young people could catch up with the old days, there were so many maids watching, and they were not afraid of Jia Hui messing around.

They were speechless and wanted to say everything, but everything was said in the letters.

"Does your hand still hurt?" Li Kun spoke first.

"It didn't hurt, but when you say that, it hurts."

Silence again.

Li Kun stretched out his pair of white, flawless, delicate and soft slender jade hands, and picked up Jia Hui's rough and scarred black hands.

Gently brushing the scar on it, Li Kun was a little sad.

The world calls his beloved Jia Hui's courage and good luck, and he is already a very good minister at a young age, but who knows how much blood and tears his lover has paid behind this?

Every time her father told her what battle Jia Hui had won and how many enemies she had killed, Li Kun did not feel joy, but endless fear, she was worried about what kind of injury Jia Hui had suffered, worried that Jia Hui would accidentally miss the next time she went into battle, and the next time her father came over and told her the news that Jia Hui had died in battle...

The cold girl never brings a bad mood to others, but in the dead of night, she is alone and tears for that person.

"Why are you crying, come on, give me a smile! Hurry up! ”

"Hmph, you've been saying this since you were a child, aren't you annoying? When can there be a new word! ”

Li Kun took the handkerchief and nodded the corner of his eyes and rolled his eyes.

This person likes to laugh at himself like this when he is a child, and he just says a sentence or two, which is annoying!

Seeing that Li Kun was no longer sad, Jia Hui also breathed a sigh of relief.

Her little wife is good everywhere, but her temperament is relatively cold, and it took her many years to make her lively.

Silence again.

One is clumsy, and the other is not talkative.

Whoever speaks first loses.

Li Kun still couldn't hold it anymore and lost to Jia Hui, who was used to seeing big scenes.

"Guy... Why is it so dark? ”

After speaking, I saw that Jia Hui's black and red face was darker again. Li Kun broke the gong and burst out laughing.

"It's... The wind and the sun are blowing, the sun is poisonous in the desert, the sun is big on the plateau, and it will be white when you come back to raise it for a few months. Jia Hui regretted a little that she didn't speak first.

The appearance of the Jia family is famous, don't care about it, no one is ugly in terms of appearance, and Jia Hui is no exception.

Back then, he was also a heroic and extraordinary, fair-skinned, pure and stupid young man in his eyes.

Then he went to the army.

Originally, he was only tanned in the desert, but who let him go to the plateau, he was tanned and red.

It's been almost two months indoors.

I can only blame it on my own constitution.

After a few words, there was still silence.

"Can you be free the day after tomorrow? How about going on a trip together? Call Yuanchun and them, you also bring Brother Shao, I learned some barbecue recipes from the Western Regions, and I will give you a taste the day after tomorrow! ”

Can't let her speak first!

"Hmm...... All right! Li Kun did not hesitate and agreed directly.

As for the reservedness of the girl's family, it doesn't exist, and the black guy on the other side is very incomprehensible, and she experienced it when she was a child.

For the reserve of his girl's family, he missed countless sugar gourds, sugar people and bamboo tube zongzi.

This black guy won't ask people a second time!

"Then I'll pick you up the day after tomorrow."

That's it.

There was silence again.

Childhood sweethearts grew up, and after more than ten years of companionship, coupled with knowing that they would become husband and wife very early, the relationship between them had already skipped love and directly became family affection.

A look, an action, any little detail can detect what the other party wants to do, and the two who talk less on weekdays are even more tacit.

"Tell me about you on the plateau? You didn't write that in the letter. ”

"Okay, I'll tell you........."

As soon as he heard that Li Kun asked him to tell him about the things on the plateau, Jia Hui came to his senses, stood up and stepped on the low pier, painted his voice and color, and talked to Li Kun with his hands and feet.

Li Kun also exclaimed from time to time, applauded when he talked about the wonderful places, or led to a question to ask him, which made Jia Hui's emotions rise more and more, and his speech became more and more energetic!

Standing beside the two of them, Li Kun's personal maid Su Yun sighed.

After all, my uncle was pinched by my own lady.

talked until noon, when she was interrupted by Li's mother, who came to greet the two of them for dinner.

had lunch with the Li family and rested in the guest room for half an hour before Jia Hui resigned after the Li family's repeated efforts.

。。。。。。

Jia Hui did not rush back, but led the horse, walked on the street with his hands behind his back.

After visiting the Li family, his marriage is about to start going through the procedures.

In fact, I have already started to go through the procedure, as early as when my grandfather was alive, he had already completed the four steps of "Nacai", "Asking for Name", "Najib" and "Nazheng", and completed the engagement.

Next, you only need to go through the remaining two steps: "Invitation" and "Welcome".

Jia Hui's visit this time is actually to remind the Li family that they are going to prepare for a big wedding.

I couldn't help laughing when I thought that I and Li Kun had been "old husband and wife" for more than ten years, and I didn't hold a wedding until now.

On the orange stall on the side, the grinning man who had eaten a sour orange heard the laughter coming from behind him, thinking that he was laughing at him, and was about to whip people in anger.

When I turned around and saw that it was a six-foot-tall black man wearing a purple gold round-necked bullfighting suit, I was so frightened that my whip fell to the ground.

The big black man has seen it, and the six-foot-tall man has seen it, but this bullfighting suit is not something that can be worn by leisure.

Purple robe, bullfighting suit, Hou Ye!

Jia Hui also found out about that gentleman and looked at him playfully.

The scalp is numb.

"Smoke, why don't you smoke?"

"Small, small, how dare you offend Master Hou?"

On weekdays, I can't say anything.

His father has been mixed for most of his life before he finally gets a squire, and if he really smokes it, I'm afraid that the whole family will be exiled to Dayuan Island tomorrow!

Thinking of this, her legs trembled as if she was sifting.

"Tsk, with this guts, you still dare to come out and be a gentleman? Take advantage of a good mood and get out! ”

Seeing the reaction, Jia Hui suddenly felt bored, kicked on the big cheek, rolled several times before stopping, rubbing his big crotch and howling.

"Why is this Yanjing City's gentleman so pulled? A certain family remembers that there used to be a lot of power... Hey, what the hell! Jia Hui was picking oranges in front of the orange stall, and asked the stall owner who was trembling with fright, peeling off an orange and trying it, almost sour his teeth, sticking out his tongue!

"You've never eaten your oranges, a dog? Dare to sell it if it's so sour! ”

"Small, small..."

"Forget it, you weigh me two catties, and I'll take it back and give it away."

I can't be the only one who has such a sour orange!

。。。。。。

The sky gradually darkened, until the last ray of light escaped from the book, and Jia Zhu was shocked to realize that he had been reading the book for a long time.

In front of the window on the second floor of the study in Jia Zhu's courtyard, Jia Zhu, who was dizzy when he was reading, rubbed his eyes and was about to go downstairs to eat something, he didn't like to have someone by his side when he was reading. The maid downstairs knew Jia Zhu's habits well, and when she saw Jia Zhu leave the window, she hurriedly picked up a bowl of ginseng soup and greeted her.

Jia Zhu's courtyard is the original courtyard of Jia Zheng, just west of Jia Yu's courtyard, across the hall where Jia Mu and others unloaded Jia Hui a few days ago.

After a bowl of ginseng soup, Jia Zhu felt alive again, quietly experiencing this transparent feeling.

"Hahaha. Brother Zhu, brother, I've come to see you! ”

The heroic laughter could be heard from afar, and Jia Zhu, who was interrupted from the experience, smiled helplessly, every time he came here, he was the same as going back to his own home, and he never reported it.

"Wicked guests are coming, Pearl, go and prepare some tea." Jia Zhu commanded his personal maid Pearl and greeted Jia Hui.

"Brother Hui has something to look for me?"

"Hey, I can't look for you if it's okay?"

"That can't be, come, let's go inside!"

The two went straight up to the second floor and sat in front of Jia Zhu's favorite window, where Pearl had already brought the tea.

"I heard that the old man admires you very much and wants to recruit you as a son-in-law?" After taking a sip of tea, Jia Hui spoke.

"Where is it, where is the only daughter of the great uncle, what can I think of as the sister-in-law of the five-rank official? However, the daughter of Uncle Zong's cousin said that she had taken a fancy to me, and now she is discussing with her father. ”

Jia Zhu has a clear understanding of herself. Although it is a bit rude to talk about his father, his father is essentially a five-grade shadow sealer, and because he has transgressed and lived in Rongxi Hall, no matter what the reason, not refusing is the biggest mistake, so he is not treated well by his colleagues.

Now it sounds good, called the second master of the Guogong Mansion, but after all, he still has to move out separately, at that time, his father Jia Zheng was just a five-grade Beijing official, and a brick on the street of the capital can kill five or six.

His body is not very good, last time Qiu Yu almost folded in the examination room, even if the great uncle wanted to marry his only daughter to him, he didn't dare to marry.

Uncle Zong's cousin and niece are very suitable for herself, but her temperament is a little stronger, and no one dares to come to the door to propose marriage all day long, otherwise, how can such a beauty be her turn?

"Ah, that's good, when my brother and I marry your sister-in-law into the family, it will be your turn next, wait, Uncle Zong's niece, Li Peilan?" The figure of a sturdy woman appeared in Jia Hui's mind.

Back then, he followed his grandfather Jia Daishan to visit many martial arts halls in the capital.

Chongde Martial Arts Hall is one of them, this is the ancestral industry of today's Rite Hall Official, the ancestor of the great uncle Li Xiang, Li Mian has no talent to practice martial arts, and this martial arts hall belongs to his younger brother Li Chun.

Li Peilan is Li Chun's daughter.

He still can't forget the scene where Li Peilan chased after more than a dozen of his peers with a wooden sword.

glanced at Jia Zhu with pity and didn't continue to ask.

"Oh yes, how is Enko preparing this year?"

"Fortunately, I experienced the autumn last time, and I probably already know how to take the exam, in recent days, Uncle Li has read my article and said that there is already a second-class level, if I can meet an examiner who appreciates me, it is estimated that I can go to the top of the second-class position.

Speaking of which, it is also thanks to the eldest brother, if it weren't for the beautiful battle of the eldest brother, the emperor would not be happy to open another Enke, otherwise, the next exam will have to wait for three years. ”

"It's all the credit of the soldiers, more than 8,000 people went up, and in the end more than 3,000 came down, and there are hundreds of people who can't even find their bodies, alas..."Jia Hui sighed.

"Don't talk about this, it's all over, the battle is over, and there's no point in talking about this anymore." Jia Hui shook her head.

"By the way, why are all the gentlemen in the city so pulled? I didn't meet a few along the way. ”

"Ah, this, there is no reason, that is, the old gentlemen have married wives and had children, so naturally they will not go out to cause trouble, and the rest are some small gentlemen who are not in the stream, and the official positions of their fathers and ancestors are not high.

Recently, there are a lot of Zhishi bosses, and their family's gentlemen naturally have to follow their fathers and ancestors, people go to tea and cool, and continue to be lawless in Beijing, I'm afraid that no one will care if they are not killed by anyone, plus the eldest brother, you and a group of newly crowned nobles, are afraid of bumping into you and being Liwei! ”

Also, Jia Yu, the biggest hooligan leader in Yanjing City back then, has retired, and their group must be similar, their brothers are all seventeen or eighteen years old, and they didn't make any sense when they were beaten by their own group, so they naturally want to be people with their tails between their legs.

"Okay, by the way, the last thing, nothing happens the day after tomorrow, right?"

"The day after tomorrow, the country will be in prison and Xiu Mu, what's wrong?"

"The day after tomorrow, I want to take Yuan Chun and a few of them and your sister-in-law to go out, and take the opportunity to ask Yuan Chun to ask Li Peilan out to meet."

"Yes, yes!"

They are all teenagers who are young and restless, and they are the most curious about the other half.

The two brothers looked at each other and smiled.

"Then it's decided, come, I bought some oranges on the way back when I come back, can you come some?" Jia Hui took out two oranges from his pocket on the ground and handed one to Jia Zhu.

Jia Zhu, who had pure eyes, took the orange and peeled off the orange peel in three or two clicks.

"Phew, heck, what's this!"

Jia Zhu, who has the elegant temperament of a scholar, instantly broke his work, his whole sour face shrunk together, the whole person sobbed, spit out the orange in one gulp, and poured tea in a big gulp.

"Big brother, I have no grievances with you in the past and no enmity in the near future, why do you want to plot against me!"

Jia Zhu felt a backstab from a loved one.

"Hahaha, how can I be the only one to eat such a sour orange!" Jia Hui laughed heartily!
