Chapter 47: Difficult Decisions
Somehow, this matter reached the ears of the old Hu family.
Lao Hu found the Lu family and said: "The eldest grandson of your patriarch's eldest uncle is twenty-three married, and there is still a lack of a Quanfu lady who makes the bed and a golden boy and jade girl who presses the bed.
His eldest daughter-in-law wants to invite you and the two children to go, but the old patriarch thinks that the door between our two families is not right, and he is unwilling to open this mouth. ”
When Lu Shi heard this, he smiled and said, "What's so bad about this." I am Mrs. Hou again, and I am also the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family.
After a while, I went and told him that our mother had taken over the job. ”
Old Hu smiled and said, "It's such a courtesy." Back then, you and the third child got married, and it was the old patriarch's mother-in-law who made the wedding bed for you.
It's a pity that she left early and couldn't see her eldest grandson get married.
Now you go to make a wedding bed for her grandson, and when you come, you are returning the favor. Second, with your identity, it is also the face of our man's side.
Let the other party's girl take a good look, it is not an ordinary blessing to be able to marry our Jiang family. ”
Lu Shi was curious: "Do you know, which girl is it?" ”
Lao Hu said: "It seems to be a relative of his aunt's side, I heard that the girl's family conditions are good, and she has a lot of marriage!"
I guess it's because of this that I want to invite you to the field. ”
"That's it!" Lu said happily: "I heard that there are red envelopes for making happy beds and spreading tents, and I will go and tell the old patriarch in a while that I have earned this red envelope." ”
Lao Hu scolded her with a smile, do you still lack those two red envelopes, so he sent her away.
Let's say that the Lu family personally went to the old patriarch's house and said that Mrs. Quanfu wanted to make a bed for the newcomer.
Her two sons and daughters are also willing to be the golden boy and girl who press the bed.
This news really made the old patriarch's family happy.
No matter what, Lu is willing to come forward, and the man's face will be stable.
The woman learned that the groom's family had invited Mrs. Hou of Qingzhou to be Mrs. Quanfu who made the bed and spread the tent.
When Qingzhou Hou Shizi and Xiaoxiangjun also pressed the bed, they were also overjoyed.
First, it proves that the groom's family and Qingzhou Houfu do have a close relationship, and secondly, it also values the woman.
Because of this, the bride's family took the initiative to add 30% to the bride's already rich dowry.
Twenty-two of the lunar month.
The day before the wedding. After breakfast, the Lu family took the two maids to the old patriarch's house.
After a busy morning, I laid out the wedding bed and quilt for the newlyweds, and prepared the things for the newlyweds to spread the tent tomorrow, and was left for lunch before going home.
In the evening, the Lu family and a few concubines sent a neatly dressed and beautiful pair of little brothers and sisters to the old patriarch's house.
Seven-year-old "Golden Boy" Jiang Yuchuan and two-year-old "Jade Girl" Jiang Yuqing.
The two brothers and sisters are responsible for pressing the bed for the groom's official Huazi brother. It means that the newcomer has many sons and many blessings, and the children and grandchildren are full.
As a result, his brother Jiang Yuchuan recognized the bed, couldn't sleep in a stranger's bed, and turned over all night.
And Jiang Yuqing was so noisy that he couldn't sleep because of the thunderous snoring of the groom's official, and he also turned over all night.
Doesn't it mean that people who want to marry a new daughter-in-law will be so excited that they can't sleep the first night?
Or is this brother of hers extraordinarily calm (coarse nerves)?
After dawn, the bridegroom got up early, dressed up happily, and went to pick up the bride.
The poor little brother and sister of the Jiang family each wore a pair of panda eyes, staggered home, and fell asleep.
Before falling asleep, I thought that I must tell my mother that I must not let him (her) press the bed again in the future.
The red envelope is not fragrant at all.
The brother and sister slept so soundly that they missed the noon feast and slept until the evening when they got up and had some food.
As a result of sleeping too much during the day, I can't sleep again at night. It wasn't until the next day that I adjusted.
Since childhood, the Jiang family has successively received New Year's gifts from all parties. There are local squires and celebrities, and some are sent from the capital.
For example, Jing Yan, Li Deshun, Zhenguo Mansion and Pingyang Houfu gifts. Similarly, the gifts given to them by the Jiang family also arrived in the next few days.
Chinese New Year's Eve.
After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the children gathered in the yard to play with fireworks, and Bai Xiaojiu and Bai Xiaoshi were not far behind, rushing around in the crowd excitedly.
Bai Xiaojiu is almost a year old, and the elder is big. When he squatted and didn't move, he looked very majestic, quite majestic and domineering like the king of the mountain.
But as soon as he moved, there was not even any scum left in that little bit of style.
Not to mention jumping up and down, the tail is still wagging wildly, and I don't know which local dog in the village learned it.
Fortunately, the house is full of clean and neat green bricks, otherwise it would be too lively to sweep away the ashes all the way.
This thing is suppressed by blood, and he is running around in the village when he has nothing to do on weekdays.
Bullying dogs and geese, making a fortune. It is often the outside of this pigsty and the outside of that chickensty.
It doesn't eat either, it's like a child with ADHD, just curious. It can scare people enough.
As long as it walks through, either the sow of this house has a difficult birth, or the good chickens and ducks of the house do not lay eggs. Because of this, the family wiped its ass a lot.
Everyone reasoned with it bitterly. Tell it where you can go and where you can't.
It listened well and promised well. However, there is no use in fart, and it should be troublesome.
You can't beat it, you can't scold it, and you can't scold it. In the end, there was really no way, so Jiang Yuqing threw it into the spiritual realm and let Bai Xiaoshi take care of it.
Although Bai Xiaoshi is a girl's family, he is an ancient beast at the bottom, and his force value completely crushes Bai Xiaojiu.
If it is disobedient, he will be beaten, sometimes three times a day.
After beating him for a while, Bai Xiaojiu finally became honest.
Where Bai Xiaoshi is there, it is obedient like a big cat, which is particularly worry-free.
Jiang Yuqing also let it come out to play with confidence.
The children were playing wildly outside, and the adults of the Jiang family were discussing the arrangements in the fields for the coming year while keeping the New Year.
The fields on this side of the family are all planted. The original 51 acres of land are planted with 30 acres of watermelons and 21 acres of sweet potatoes.
Da Zhuangzi planted all rice.
A few years ago, at the request of the youngest daughter, the family bought the ownerless barren slope next to Da Zhuangzi.
After the New Year, hire more people to open up the barren slopes and plant excellent alfalfa grass and pig vegetables.
Then buy a few people who are good at breeding, and raise dozens or hundreds of cattle, sheep, pigs, etc.
Not only can it produce meat, but it is also the best organic fertilizer after fermentation, which can continue to provide nutrients for the crops in the field.
The harvested straw can also be used as livestock feed and as a bedding.
In this way, a virtuous circle is formed.
Jiang Wenyuan recalled carefully, what did the baby girl say? Oh, I think of it, it's called sustainable development.
The 3,000-acre Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing can't be left dry.
You have to find a suitable person to go over and take over first. However, there are only so many people at home who have to use it, and they can't free up their hands at all.
Jiang Wenyuan thought that it really couldn't be done, so let's just let it go first.
Jiang Yuqing just finished putting out a fairy flame and ran in to drink tea and eat fruit. I heard that no one was in charge of the 3,000-acre grange on the outskirts of Beijing, and I was really distressed.
immediately took Jiang Wenyuan's hand and said, "Daddy, I'll plant, I'll plant." ”
Jiang Wenyuan didn't want to refuse immediately when he heard it: "No, Bao, although you are smart, you are still too young."
Daddy doesn't worry about you going to that place alone. Besides, farming is very hard, and Daddy doesn't want you to suffer from it. ”
Tuanzi's big eyes Bu Ling Bu Ling looked at her father and said seriously: "Daddy." I'm not alone. And the master. The master is also going to the capital. ”
As Tuanzi spoke, he went to pull the master and prayed with his eyes in his eyes.
Doctor Qiu knew at a glance what this little apprentice wanted to do, so he nodded her forehead helplessly.
said to Jiang Wenyuan: "Two days ago, I received a letter from my eldest apprentice, inviting me to go to Beijing to see a difficult patient.
As you all know, I have only been interested in incurable diseases all my life, so I plan to go to Beijing.
Although Bao Bao is small, since he studied medicine with me, he can't give up halfway. In the future, you will often follow me to travel around the world, this, I believe you also have a good psychology.
Besides, although your Zhuangzi is big, with the wisdom of a good treasure, he may not be able to take care of it, so he should be trained for her. ”
After Doctor Qiu finished speaking, there was an instant silence in the room.
After a long time, Jiang Wenyuan took a deep breath and said, "That's the only way!" It's just that the good baby is still young, so he bothers the doctor a lot. ”
Doctor Qiu said, "You don't have to worry. I love her no less than you. Your daughter, you know it in your heart.
She is a phoenix, and a phoenix was born to soar in the sky, not to be in a corner, which would only break her wings. ”
"What the divine doctor taught." Jiang Wenyuan nodded in response.
Thinking about it, he is not without old times in Beijing, he really can't do it, and it shouldn't be difficult to repair a book and ask Qin Jue to take care of it.
It just so happened that he was originally going to send grain to Pingyang Houfu and Zhenguo Gongfu, with 600 catties of each grain for each family. Simply let the youngest daughter take it with her.
"When will the divine doctor leave, we should prepare in advance."
Doctor Qiu shook his head and said, "Don't worry, that patient is a chronic disease, and it has been delayed for a year or two." Not bad at this point.
It's never too late to leave after the New Year. At that time, the weather was warmer, and the good baby could suffer less on the road. ”
Jiang Wenyuan nodded yes. So, the matter was settled.
After the fireworks outside, everyone started playing with the pitcher again. Jiang Yuqing played all night, but there were still zero eggs. got a lot of ridicule from his brothers.
Daddy Jiang, who was protecting the calf, couldn't stand it anymore, so he went down in person, hugged his daughter and crushed a group of sons and nephews with his strength, and gave his baby daughter a bad breath.
It was a lively and noisy night, and the time passed, and the New Year arrived.
After kowtowing to the elders, the children received the New Year's red envelopes and went to sleep one after another. The adults also went back to their rooms to rest.
As soon as he entered the house, Lu Shi said anxiously: "Husband, the good baby is only less than three years old, you can really bear to let her leave her family and go to such a far place, anyway, I don't want to." ”
Saying that, Lu's eyes were already red, if he hadn't been thinking about the first day of the new year, he would have shed tears.
Jiang Wenyuan took his wife into his arms, stroked her back, and said in a hoarse voice: "How can I give up." I'm such a daughter, still so young, like a jewel.
But you have also seen with your own eyes that her ability not only blessed her family, but also benefited many people in the world.
As the divine doctor said, our good baby is born as a phoenix that only soars in the sky.
As parents, we can't break her wings and wronged her to be a pheasant who will only flutter.
We should believe in her and let her fly freely.
When she gets tired of flying, we will be her safest harbor again. This is the best love that can be given to her. ”
"Good! ……”
Jiang Yuqing had already slept tonight, and she didn't know what kind of difficult decision her parents made behind her......
On the first day of the new year, I went around the village as usual to pay New Year's greetings.
In the second year of junior high school, the girl who married outside returned to her parents' home.
Let's say that the Jiang family's family returned to the Lin family with a car full of gifts. Lin Lao dart smiled from ear to ear.
When he married his daughter to Jiang Wenkang, there were many relatives who said sour things. said that he chose a poor farmer in the countryside as his son-in-law.
With his status, who is not better than the Jiang family to marry his daughter casually in the city?
Now, this son-in-law has become an official by farming, although it is not big, it is also an official, but it can earn him enough face.
When drinking at this year's New Year's party, no one dared to beep half a word in front of him. That's called a relief.
Lin Lao Dart was happy, and he drank too much when he was happy. As soon as he drank too much, he began to go crazy, holding his son-in-law Wen Ah Kang's 2526 howl.
In the end, he didn't forget to tell his son-in-law that he was not allowed to take a concubine when he was developed, and if he dared to stand up to his daughter, he would break his legs.
Hearing this, Lin was full of black lines, and hurriedly took her father back to the house to sleep with her brother.
The second room of the Jiang family is also a family of five. First went to Jiang Wenxi's master to pay New Year's greetings and give gifts. Then go back to Uncle Zhu's house.
Zhu also has a cousin who also returned to her parents' house today. A large family of people reluctantly sat down after dividing two tables, so it was not lively.
After eating, I sat for a while before leaving. Uncle Zhu took a bunch of local products again.
When sending them out, when he saw Zhu Dazi probing his brain around the corner, Zhu's cousin asked her carefully, "Do you want to go over there to have a look?" ”
