Chapter 3: The Wind and Clouds Rise, Seeking the Road to Immortals Section 192: You don't lose by calling uncle
"The neon clothes are new in the evening, and the bundle is slim and spring. It has been faint to Danxia, so the dew will be fragrant dust. Dare to ask Miss Magnolia Fang Ling?" Wang Lianmin asked softly as he controlled his voice.
"Ten days later, the little girl will be in the year of peach and plum, and if the father is allowed to hold a banquet at that time, will the son come?" asked Geng Yulan delicately. It was this first sight that her influence on Wang Lianmin was also very good, and her father had told her if she could inherit the Geng family, and the glorious lintel was counting on the exploration of this new department.
Geng Zhi had already had this thought, and all the things about Wang Lianmin, especially Mobao and those book coupons after the exam, he had already taken advantage of his position to take them home for Geng Yulan to enjoy. And she was once intoxicated by the world in Wang Lianmin's heart, and once fantasized about "meeting a good fate with him in the spring breeze, and meeting him for a long night for life!"
And although Wang Lianmin is said to be a son of a poor family, he does not give people a shabby and poor appearance, it should be a time of pride, the spring breeze swept away before the fall, and now standing by Geng Yulan's side, elegant and self-controlled, quite a humble gentleman.
In addition to this demeanor is in line with Geng Yulan's thoughts, Wang Lianmin can also call her mind, although she does not say that she has "Pan An's appearance", but she is slender and slender, her eyes are bright, and her appearance is ordinary, but it gives people an ordinary, that kind of feeling that you can rely on and be trusted.
She was the eldest lady of Geng Shangshu, those merry boys, she had seen some before, handsome, really romantic, long mighty, really rude! These are all things she doesn't like. It wasn't until she saw this Wang Lianmin today that she was sure that she really liked it, "It's such a person!"
"Of course it will come, it should be a blessing that Wang can come to watch the ceremony. Wang Lianmin patted Geng Yulan's little hand a little dishonestly, signaling her to rest assured that she would definitely come back.
"Brother Xian, you can be regarded as here, Geng Lao boasted that he was not drunk with a thousand cups, how about our brothers get him drunk today?" Chen Yun was already a little drunk when he saw Li Chengjie coming over, but now he was a little excited.
"Cheng Jie, come and sit down. Geng beckoned to Li Chengjie and pointed him to a seat.
"Daddy, you'd better drink less. My sister and I can't lift you now. Geng Fengxian saw Geng Zhi's drunken appearance, so she ran over directly in small steps and sat down next to Geng Zhi.
Li Chengjie and Geng Fengxian sat opposite each other and sat next to Chen Yun.
"Brother Xian, it seems that this Tanhualang is very satisfied with the eldest son of Lord Geng's family!" Chen Yun watched Wang Lianmin and Geng Yulan walk hand in hand, and he quietly laughed in Li Chengjie's ear.
Li Chengjie nodded, chuckled and didn't speak.
"Oh, Tanhualang, how is the scenery of my Shangshu Mansion?" Geng Zhi saw his eldest daughter Yulan walking over with Wang Lianmin in her arms, and his mood could be described as very good! Finding a good match for his daughter and a foundation for Geng's mansion has been hanging on Geng Zhi's heart for several years, and finally today, this old man who is nearly half a hundred years old can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
It's not that there are no high-ranking officials and meritorious people who come to propose marriage, but their daughter doesn't like it, compared with the future glory of Geng Mansion, it is more important for her daughter's happiness for the rest of her life.
Finally, Geng Zhi did a lifetime of good deeds, and it was also God's favor that made him wait for the "beloved" who was suitable for his daughter!
"The scenery on Lord Geng's mansion is naturally pleasing to the eye, and it makes people forget to leave!" Wang Lianmin glanced at Geng Yulan when he answered Geng Zhi's question.
At this time, Geng Yulan had already let go of Wang Lianmin's arm and walked towards Geng Zhi.
"How is that better than your royal mansion?" Geng Zhi naturally saw Wang Lianmin's admiring eyes, and his heart was very proud. So he got up and walked over to the king.
"Your Majesty's Imperial Mansion is not as strong as Lord Geng's mansion
Beautiful, but it's a perfect match for who I am now!" said Wang Lianmin cautiously, after all, it involved the things of the imperial gift.
"It's a bit of a shame to call me an adult, Chen Shilang and Li Zhuangyuan are both willing to call the old man Geng. Geng walked straight in front of Wang Lianmin, and said with a smile, looking at the redness on his face, it seemed that he had been infected with a layer of drunkenness!
"Geng Lao!" Wang Lianmin said again when he saw Geng Zhi coming over. He hurriedly called out affectionately, and then bowed down to Geng Zhi and made a junior salute.
"The old man was in the Baohe Hall that day, and he felt that you were very much in line with the old man's heart. Call me uncle, and you shouldn't be at a loss. Geng Zhi laughed, helped Wang Lianmin up, and pulled him towards the banquet.
"Geng... Uncle!" Wang Lianmin was still a little hesitant, but when he saw Geng Yulan's smile in his eyes, he chose to compromise.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes, sit down. The champions and tanhua are all young and promising, and their knowledge and literary talents are also outstanding!" Geng Zhi took Li Chengjie with him by the way, praised him, and then pressed Wang Lianmin to Geng Yulan's side and sat down.
Then Geng Zhi was behind Wang Lianmin, and patted him on the shoulder very "encouragingly".
Wang Lianmin sat down beside Geng Yulan, and suddenly felt that his whole body was out of control, and his body was weak for a while. Both legs trembled slightly.
"Now that everyone is here, let's raise a glass together, the old man invited his daughter Hongdu, who has been in the cellar for ten years, to come out, you are not drunk today, but it is difficult to return!" Geng Zhi said with a smile, and then took the lead in raising the wine glass.
Chen Yun has been drinking for a long time, and the things he wants to talk about with Geng Zhi have also been discussed, and all he has left is really drinking. He raised his glass heartily and said, "Come, let's toast Geng Lao together." ”
"Elder Geng, then Cheng Jie is here to wish you good health and all the best. Nearly half a hundred people are still naked, and Tianshou people are willing to hug their grandchildren!" Li Chengjie also picked up the wine glass, pinched the cup with one hand, and supported the bottom with one hand, and said with a little warmth.
"Hahaha, okay!" Geng glanced at Li Chengjie, and he felt more and more that even if he was now a "fish dancing in the pool", he would be "golden scales glowing", and one day "entering the sea in the pool" would be "turning into a dragon"! The future is limitless!
"Uncle Geng, the house is full of flowers, and there are magnolias, impatiens and hibiscus accompaniment, so the younger generation wishes my uncle a healthy body and mind, and a happy family. There is Zhilan Shou in the room, and people are like pines and cypresses!" Wang Lianmin also followed Li Chengjie's example and picked up the wine glass. Wang Lianmin still doesn't understand the etiquette of these big families, but fortunately, Li Chengjie is on his side.
"Hahaha, good, good, good! Yulan, you can have a few drinks with the people for your father in a while!" Geng Zhi looked at Wang Lianmin's heart becoming more and more satisfied, and it was very explicit to hint at his eldest daughter Geng Yulan.
"Dad, then the daughters wish Daddy a long life, peace and prosperity! Geng Yulan and Geng Fengxian glanced at each other, raised their glasses together and said.
"Come, cheers!" As soon as the upright wine glasses were handed forward, everyone's wine glasses "followed", and a few crisp clinking glasses "jingle bells" further narrowed the distance between the people at this table.
The six of them sat around the table, all smiling and drinking the wine in their arms from the jade cup in their hands!
"Okay, everyone eats food, treat this place as your home, don't be polite. With a bold wave of his hand, Geng Zhi launched an order for a "general attack" on the many delicacies on the table.
"Chengjie, look at your age, can you reach the weak crown?" Geng Zhi looked at Li Chengjie and raised his mouth and asked.
"Geng Lao, the younger generation will only be crowned next year, he is younger and more vigorous, and he will hope that Geng Lao will take care of one or two in the court in the future!" Li Chengjie also climbed two steps up the pole!
"Young and promising, young and promising! When the old man is your age
Ah, I don't have any fame on my body. Unexpectedly, Cheng Jie was given the title by His Majesty at such a young age, Qilin! It is now the envy of the old man!" Geng Zhi smashed his mouth and said, now he is really envious of such a young man!
"Where is it, Geng Lao, old and strong, and ambitious. After all, people get older and better!haha!" Li Chengjie also said with a smile. He also discovered at this time that Geng Fengxian's phoenix eyes had always been attached to him, and the laughter was a little unnatural.
"Speaking of which, my third daughter should have come to meet you today, she was the same age as Cheng Jie, and she should have been in the mood for love, but my daughter Geng Furong was born in late autumn, and with her crying, the night breeze swept into winter. Suddenly, in winter, her mother was not able to raise her again, and she died in only three days..."Geng Zhi said this, thinking of his youngest daughter was a little uncomfortable.
"Dad, sister, isn't she very happy every day now, but the wind blows a little weakly every night. When my sister grows up, those illnesses will dissipate. "When she gave birth to Geng Furong, Geng Fengxian was still young, and Geng Yulan was serving in the room at that time, but watching her little mother give birth to that sister, how much effort she put in, how much pain she resisted... Now she is the only one who knows the taste in her father's heart, and she speaks calmly.
"Hey, it's all fate! Pity my little Rong'er..." Geng Zhi poured another glass of wine and drank it full, as if complaining about the injustice of heaven.
"Geng Lao, there is no need to be like this, the family teacher is a little familiar with medical skills, if you can get the master's skill, the third female son will be fine. Li Chengjie looked at Geng Lao's slightly embarrassed appearance, and looked at his really heartbroken feeling of being a father, Li Chengjie couldn't help but say.
"Old man, I have long heard that Zhuang Yuanlang has a strange master, one and two apprentices, who are ranked first and second in the examination, and they have all entered the palace examination, such a god, the old man will come to visit him another day. It's just that I don't want Master Ling to be a magic doctor, if I had known this, the old man would not have waited until tomorrow to visit!" Geng Zhi's words were very sincere.
"Could it be that Geng Lao has hit all his ideas on himself?" Li Chengjie looked at Geng Zhi's current appearance, he really couldn't touch the mind of this official secretary now!
Geng Fengxian saw Li Chengjie looking at her, and she smiled back very politely.
However, her smile was like a trembling flower branch, which made Li Chengjie's heart itch.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter, just push the matter to the master anyway! However, with the master's unpredictable methods, it is still easy to cure a stubborn disease for Geng Lao, and it is not a problem. The premise is, as long as Geng Lao can invite my master..."Li Chengjie looked at Geng Zhi's happy face when he turned around, and he suddenly felt as if he had jumped into the pit he had dug for himself, and he couldn't help but feel a little scarlet in his heart.
Geng Zhi looked at Li Chengjie's subtle expression now, and also smiled. Revealed, after the angler cast the bait and shook the hook, the fish was about to bite the hook!
"Virtuous nephew, how old are you this year, have you ever been married?" Geng Zhi also felt that the foreshadowing was almost over, and turned to look at Wang Lianmin, and directly ordered the theme of tonight's banquet.
"Uncle, the younger generation is a horse, and the daughter is one year old, and she is already twenty-five this year. The small clan of the poor family has been struggling to study and learn etiquette before, and has never been married..."Wang Lianmin heard Geng Zhi ask this question in front of so many people, and his words were a little messy! He is now actually deciding, if Geng Zhi proposes it at the table and recruits him, he should or should not, after all, one of his hearts has been tied by the "magnolia" flower!
Love, sometimes, is so unpredictable. It's something you can't resist.
"If the peach blossoms are coming, you can't stop it!" Wang Lianmin personally tested the authenticity of this sentence!
