Chapter 11: Reading Koharu
Tang Fu smiled and turned around and was about to leave, when Miss Tang Wenting suddenly said, "Slow! I have something to say." Please tell the Chu family, if you are interested, the marriage date will be postponed for three years, and I will wait for my younger brother Tianyou to be a little older. ”
Tang Fu turned around with a smile and replied, "Okay!
The hall was once again filled with joy.
Old lady: "Hey, my good granddaughter's affairs have finally been settled, but the two grandchildren, one is idle and unlucky, and the other is frail and sick and hopeless, what do you say about this?"
Tang Wenhan: "My grandson must follow my grandmother's words, study hard with Uncle Maoshan and Tang Fu, please rest assured that my grandmother will no longer play outside." ”
The old lady smiled: "Good grandson is sensible!"
Turning his head to look at the Shen family, he continued: "I discussed with the old lady to vacate the garden next door to set up a school, let Tianyou learn literature and martial arts at home, don't go to the ancestral hall to lose face in the future, the eldest grandson went to the dock to learn from Tang Fu, what do you think?"
Shen: "Listen to your mother! Thank you, mother!"
The old lady: "Don't thank me, thank the old lady! ”
Old lady: "What does the old lady mean, please ask Tang Qianzhi and his cousin Tang Xiaode of the Tang family in Maoshan to be the master and Mr. of Tianyou, what do you think?"
Shen: "Great! Great!"
Old lady: "Don't rejoice too soon. The old lady said that Tang Xiaode is Tang Qianzhi's cousin and the grandfather of Tang Wenbo, the best classmate of Tianyou. Tang Xiaode has been smart since he was a child, talented, poetry and songs, martial arts moves can be learned, he has never met an opponent since he was eighteen years old, just because he has a withdrawn temperament, acts under a pseudonym, does not leave a name, is famous but not very loud. When he was twenty years old, he fell in love with metaphysics, was obsessed with Taoist research, and wanted to become a monk and seek the way to become an immortal. Tang Xiaode is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, strong martial arts, and profound Taoism. His cousin's filial piety is for you to invite in person, and whether you want to come or not depends on your own blessings. ”
Shen: "Okay, the daughter-in-law must personally take the child Tianyou to visit the teacher and find a way to invite the cousin." ”
Old lady: "There is one more thing, that is, the Wang family next door once had a favor to the ancestors, borrow the other garden, you have to discuss with the Wang family, properly deal with it, my opinion is to give the three old houses in Hualong Lane in the city to others, apologize." ”
Shen: "Okay! I think there should be no problem with the Wang family in this way." ”
Tianyou kowtowed three times in a row and said, "Thank you, grandmother!
Old lady: "Don't thank me, wait a while to go to the back hall and kneel down to thank the old lady." The old lady is too good to God. She said that Tianyou studied and practiced martial arts at home alone, and had no peers to socialize, so she would become lonely after staying for a long time. You've told me so many times that you want your distant nephew to be called?"
Shen hurriedly replied, "Xiaochun, mother." ”
Old lady: "Yes, it's Koharu." The old lady said, invite your distant nephew Xiaochun to be Tianyou's companion, and learn literature and martial arts with Tianyou. I also told your cousin, Mr. Xiaode, that if he is happy, the grandson of his family, who is the best with Tianyou, named Wenbo, can also come to the garden to study together. ”
Shen hurriedly replied, "Okay, okay." ”
Shen smiled happily, pulled Tianyou, and said, "Quick, thank you, grandmother!"
However, Shen was thinking in his heart, my mother-in-law and the old lady had never been to the ancestral hall, nor had they asked me about Xiaochun, how did they know about Wenbo?
Shen didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly turned to Tang Fu and said, "Trouble your housekeeper, send someone to my mother's house to spread a message and tell them about inviting Xiaochun to accompany them." ”
Tang Fu: "Okay, I'll go now, in person." ”
Old lady: "By the way, I brought a gift to help me see my in-laws." ”
"Okay!" Tang Furen had already walked away.
Xiaochun, the eldest son of the elder brother of the Shen family, has a good nature and natural powers, and has studied martial arts with Shen Qingyong, the father of the Shen family, since he was a child, and his martial arts are famous in the south of the city. He is active, can't sit still, and naughty, and is also a well-known wild child in the countryside Xiaxi, often falling asleep in the school, snoring like thunder, his classmates laugh at him, he raises his fist and hits people, and is kicked out of the school by Mr. changed three schools in a row, and there was no gentleman willing to ask him. Stay at home, he often leads the children in the same village to get into trouble, and if he doesn't agree with each other, he starts fighting, because of the relationship between the Shen family and the Tang family in Changzhou City, the people in the village have suffering, so they have to go to the Shen clan patriarch to complain.
Koharu's father is an honest man, he trusts his children very much, and firmly believes that his children are pure in nature, and if a good person sincerely takes him and teaches him, such divine power will become a great weapon in the future.
He looked for his uncle several times, hoping that he would go to the Tang family to intercede, and let Xiaochun go to the Tang family ancestral hall to learn literature and martial arts, and be a person who can be looked up to like the Tang family. However, my uncle always said that the Tang family's rules are very strict, and the old lady is in charge of the family, and his daughter God bless his mother can't be the master.
Xiaochun's father heard Tang Fulai, the housekeeper of the Tang family, say that he wanted Xiaochun to be the companion of the second son, and learn the Tang family's boxing method with the second son, and he was so excited that his mouth did not close for a long time. Pulling Xiaochun to run to his cousin's house in one breath, he kowtowed three times, and rushed to Changzhou City without saying anything, for fear that the Tang family would regret it. Along the way, he repeatedly nagged a sentence: When you arrive at the Tang family, listen to the old lady, listen to the words of the eldest young master, listen to the words of the lady, and listen to the words of the second young master.
When I arrived at Tang's house, it was already dark, and I wanted to say a lot of thank you, but I didn't say anything, so I went to the old lady and kowtowed three times, leaving a sentence: "Xiaochun is the second young master's person in this life, and he is the second young master's ghost in death." "Leaving Xiaochun and going back to the countryside overnight.
Xiaochun came, but the matter of the Wang family next door has not been said.
After breakfast the next day, the first thing Shen had to do was to talk to Lao Wang next door about the relocation.
Lao Wang's grandfather next door is an honest woodcutter at the foot of Maoshan Mountain, a lonely man who makes a living by chopping wood. It is said that because of his kindness to Tang Lishan, the grandfather of the Tang family, he guided Tang Lishan to find the immortals who lived in Maoshan Mountain, so that Tang Lishan had peerless martial arts and supreme spells. Tang Lishan brought Lao Wang's grandfather back to Qianguo Lane, helped him marry a wife and start a family, and gave the villa to Lao Wang's grandfather.
Next door, Lao Wang married his wife Jiao and gave birth to a pair of children, Wang Jibao and Wang Jichan. The family of four lived in the annex to help the Tang family manage the affairs on the Tang family's dock.
The annex has a courtyard, a hall, three main houses, and four wings on each side. Lao Wang's grandfather next door is an honest man, and he always feels that a person doesn't need such a big yard, so he insists that as long as he lives in three main houses, the Tang family still uses the wings on both sides as warehouses.
Shen walked into the garden, and Jiao had just gone out.
The old man next door: "Madam, why do you have time to come here so early?"
Shen felt embarrassed and didn't say anything. Took a look in the yard.
Lao Wang: "Madam, this is a warehouse, it's too dirty, you can just give me an order if you have something, pass on a word, you don't have to work hard." ”
Shen smiled, there was one thing, that is, he was embarrassed to speak.
Shen: "Where are your wife and children?"
Lao Wang: "Madam, where is it, my wife went out to buy vegetables, my son went to the ancestral hall to study, and my daughter probably went to the ancestral hall to listen to classes." ”
Shen: "Oh, I heard Tianyou say that your son is very good at martial arts." ”
Lao Wang: "Thank you, Madame, for the compliment." Madam, if you have anything to do, please do as you ask. ”
Shen: "You know, my family Tianyou has been frail and sick since he was a child, and he is very lazy to learn literature and martial arts in the ancestral hall, and the old lady is very unhappy, and her old man wants to invite his uncle to come to the house to teach him to learn literature and martial arts." ”
