Chapter 168 Plum wine that is both sweet and astringent
"Yes, since this child has such a fairy spirit, then let's just call it Xian'er. Zhong Dushan also agreed with the prophet's idea.
"Okay, thank you, Prophet" Zhuang Zhongren put away all the disrespect he had just given to the Prophet at this time, and then said very humbly.
"Now, this child has been temporarily sealed by me, Granny Jin can't sense the birth of this child for a while, next, let's wait until three days later, when I do a good spell, and then make Lianxin a son, when the time comes, I will sew this child again, and in the future, all our things can be controlled freely. The Prophet said.
At this time, Zhong Dushan didn't know what to say.
It stands to reason that these things are the Zhong family's own affairs, but the prophet has enthusiastically helped and saved the Zhong family from fire and water again and again, which really moved Zhong Dushan very much.
Later, the three of them discussed some other matters, and then, Zhong Dushan and the prophet left first.
When Zhuang Zhongren returned to his room again after sending Zhong Dushan and the prophet away, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
I saw a person sitting in the room.
This person is very old, I don't know how old he is, his hair is all white, and because of his old age, there are a lot of wrinkles on his face, so many that people can't see this person's facial features for a while.
Seeing Zhuang Zhongren coming in, this person looked at him coldly, and then said, "You are Zhuang Rusheng's son?"
I don't know who it is, but Zhuang Zhongren can feel that this person must not be simple, so Zhuang Zhongren said respectfully: "Yes, may I ask who you are?"
"It doesn't matter who I am, I'm here because I picked up something on the road, so I want to ask if it's your family. ”
After saying that, the old man took out a red thing from his clothes.
Zhuang Zhongren stepped forward to take a look, it was not something else, it was an invitation he sent to others.
"This," Zhuang Zhongren didn't know what to say for a while.
"I'm here to see this child, after all, this child is mine after all. The old man said with a strange smile.
At this moment, Zhuang Zhongren finally understood that the person in front of him, who seemed to be so old that he was about to wither, was none other than Granny Jin who made Zhong Dushan and the prophets talk about it.
Unexpectedly, this Granny Jin actually saw her invitation.
What should I do now?
Zhuang Zhongren remembered Zhong Dushan's words, saying that Granny Jin clearly calculated that this child was a boy, but it turned out to be a girl, and when the time came, he would definitely feel that he was being played, so the entire dealer was not guaranteed.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Zhongren immediately regretted his publicity, so dignified, he still had to send invitations and show off everywhere.
At this time, Zhuang Zhongren began to sweat.
And Granny Jin obviously noticed this, so she said coldly: "What's the matter, it's not very hot today, why are you sweating so much?"
"I, I," Zhuang Zhongren was speechless.
"Oh, I see, you must be worried that I will take your child away, so you are very reluctant, but since you know about it, you must also know the reason, so you also understand that I want the first son of every generation. ”
At this moment, Granny Jin suddenly walked in front of Zhuang Zhongren, and then stared at him.
Such a close distance made Zhuang Zhongren, who was already at a loss, even more nervous, and beads of sweat the size of beans came out directly from his forehead.
And Granny Kim's old face, there is no one who is not afraid after seeing it.
"However, I obviously know that your concubine's belly is a boy, but how did she become a girl by mistake. Granny Kim asked almost with a roar, her tone full of anger.
Zhuang Zhongren knew that Granny Jin was angry.
At this time, Zhong Dushan's words suddenly flashed in Zhuang Zhongren's mind.
So, Zhuang Zhongren did the same, and said with a smile: "Granny Jin, this is all a misunderstanding. ”
"What?" Granny Jin asked puzzled, and then continued: "Let me tell you, although you are already a father, but in front of me at the age of three hundred, you are still a yellow-haired boy, so you don't want to play any tricks with me." ”
I don't know where the courage came from, Zhuang Zhongren said very calmly: "Granny Jin, I know that with a nobody like me, I can't compete with you, so I have never thought of playing any tricks." ”
"Then what did you mean by that, and what was a misunderstanding?" said Granny Kim with some impatience.
"Hahaha" In order to relieve his nervousness, Zhuang Zhongren then smiled strongly, and then said: "Granny Jin, this is all framed by someone. ”
"Framed?" asked Granny Kim, puzzled.
"Yes, some people saw that my concubine had a child, and they were very jealous, so they wanted to hope that I would not have a queen, so they spread rumors that my concubine gave birth to a girl. ”
"So?"
"In other words, my concubine has not yet given birth to a child. Zhuang Zhongren said confidently.
Because, Zhuang Zhongren knew that Zhong Dushan and the prophet had sealed their own immortals, so this golden mother-in-law could not perceive the existence of this child, so Zhuang Zhongren dared to lie so openly.
And Granny Jin is not a person who is easy to deceive, after listening to Zhuang Zhongren's words, of course Granny Jin will not believe it immediately.
So, Granny Kim decided to give it a quiz.
"Zhuang Zhongren, you are really a fool, but, even if what you say is out of the blue, I still have to test it myself. ”
After saying that, Granny Kim closed her eyes tightly, then took a deep breath, and silently recited some incomprehensible incantations in her mouth.
Looking at Granny Jin in front of him, Zhuang Zhongren knew that this was casting a spell, that is, sensing whether there were babies nearby.
After a while, I saw Granny Jin's brows furrowed tightly.
Granny Jin found that she did not perceive the existence of new life in the dealer.
Then, Granny Kim looked disappointed, but opened her eyes with some surprise.
The reason why I was disappointed was because I didn't catch the evidence that Zhuang Zhongren was lying.
And the reason why he was happy was because it seemed that what Zhuang Zhongren said was true, and the boy he had always wanted was always in the belly of Zhuang Zhongren's concubine.
In other words, he can still take that child away.
As a result, a smile appeared on Granny Kim's face.
And seeing that Granny Jin's face showed signs of relief, the stone in Zhuang Zhongren's heart finally landed.
"Well, Granny Kim, I said, I didn't lie to you. Zhuang Zhongren asked as if he had survived the catastrophe.
Granny Jin nodded, and then said: "Count your acquaintance, let me tell you, my skills are very powerful, ordinary people can't deceive me, you think, what your ancestors haven't done, you can't succeed as a nameless rat, so I still advise you to cooperate obediently." ”
When Granny Jin said this, she seemed to be a high winner, and there seemed to be no one in the world who could disobey him.
Zhuang Zhongren nodded.
But my heart is full of disdain, hum, this self-righteous old woman, you think you have insight into everything, and in the end, you are not deceived by me.
However, Zhuang Zhongren didn't expect that he was too happy too early.
Because, just when he thought that everything was over, just when he thought that a few lies of his own could fool this old woman who was strong and strong, Granny Jin's words made Zhuang Zhongren suddenly feel that the sky was dark, as if he had fallen into hell.
Granny Jin suddenly looked like Zhuang Zhongren, and then said with a smile: "Okay, since that's the case, I'll leave first, but before I go, I want to take a look at Ruyi." ”
"Ah" I didn't expect Granny Jin to have such a request, Zhuang Zhongren shouted in surprise.
Seeing Zhuang Zhongren's abnormal reaction, Granny Jin couldn't help but feel very strange.
"What's wrong? Isn't it convenient for Ruyi to meet people?" asked Granny Jin coldly.
"No, no," Zhuang Zhongren hurriedly said.
At this time, his mind suddenly thought quickly, how to deceive Granny Jin away.
"If it's not, why can't you see it?"
"Ruyi has been pregnant recently, and it is very hard, so I let him rest well. Zhuang Zhongren racked his brains and finally came up with such an excuse.
"Hmph, don't worry, I won't delay for too long, I'll just look at him and leave. Granny Kim persevered.
"However," Zhuang Zhongren still tried his best to shirk.
"What," Granny Jin suddenly became suspicious, then looked at Zhuang Zhongren and said, "Is there some kind of trick you have in mind?"
"No, no, of course not. Zhuang Zhongren hurriedly said with a smile.
"Okay, since that's the case, then bring Ruyi and let me see. Granny Kim said.
Such a tone seemed to be not a discussion with Zhuang Zhongren at all, but an order.
Zhuang Zhongren didn't know what to do.
However, he knows that if he still insists like this, in the end, everything will be exposed.
So, he had to bite the bullet and say, "Okay, no problem." I'm going to find Ruyi. ”
Zhuang Zhongren stumbled out of the room.
And instead of going directly to Ruyi's room, he walked to the backyard.
There is his most proud henchman.
This man is named Land Rover, and he has been a pawn of the dealer for generations.
Therefore, Zhuang Zhongren hopes that this time Land Rover can help him.
Although this person's name is Land Rover, he has the same skills as a bird and can travel hundreds of miles a day.
"Young Master Zhuang, what do you command?" Seeing Zhuang Zhongren walking towards him, Land Rover asked.
"Land Rover, you go and chase Zhong Dushan and the prophet back now, they have just left for a short time, they should not have gone far, you see them, tell them that Granny Jin is coming. ”
Although Land Rover doesn't understand who this golden granny is, and doesn't understand why Zhuang Zhongren, who has always been a hanger, is so serious today, Land Rover knows that as a subordinate, the most important thing is not to figure out the master's private affairs, but not to talk much, not to ask more, just do what the owner tells him.
So, Land Rover didn't say a word, and opened the road.
"Wait," Zhuang Zhongren said suddenly.
"What else do you command?"
"When the time comes, when you come back, don't go to my room first, but go directly to Ruyi's room, and I will find a way to go. ”
"Don't worry, I'll do it. ”
With that, Land Rover is gone.
Seeing the Land Rover go, Zhuang Zhongren sighed.
I hope that this time, I can escape this catastrophe.
So, he made up an excuse and went back to Granny Kim's room again.
Seeing Zhuang Zhongren come back alone, Granny Jin was very angry.
However, before Granny Jin could speak, Zhuang Zhongren said with a smile: "Granny Jin, it's really unfortunate, this Ruyi is taking a bath." ”
"What?" Granny Jin was completely furious, "Zhuang Zhongren, let me tell you, I'm not a good deceitful, don't play these pediatric tricks with me here." ”
"Granny Kim, don't be angry. Zhuang Zhongren continued to pretend to be calm, so he continued: "Granny Jin, you also know that this pregnant woman is troublesome, I said that there was a guest at home, but she was disobedient, and she wanted us to wait for her to finish washing." Granny Jin, now this Ruyi is always pointing fingers at me because she is pregnant, and I don't dare to say anything serious to her, otherwise, this girl will cry, make trouble and hang herself, which makes me very helpless. ”
Granny Kim didn't speak, but her face was still very unhappy.
"Granny Jin, don't worry, this ruyi will be washed soon, let's wait here first, so let's do it, my family has recently brewed a new plum wine, if you don't dislike it, just taste it." ”
At this time, Zhuang Zhongren found that an expression that had never appeared on Granny Jin's face all of a sudden.
It seems that it was what she just said that touched Granny Jin very much.
Granny Jin's old face suddenly brightened, and at the same time, her cloudy eyes suddenly became clear.
Although I don't know what the reason is, Zhuang Zhongren is still very excited, it seems that what he said just now made Granny Jin moved, so Zhuang Zhongren hurriedly took out the plum wine.
In this way, he could delay as much time as possible, so that Zhong Dushan and the others would have enough time to deal with this difficult old woman well.
Zhuang Zhongren respectfully handed the wine glass to Granny Kim.
Granny Kim took it with a wrinkled hand.
Zhuang Zhongren found that at this moment, there was a trace of Yin Hong on Granny Jin's face, and at the same time, there seemed to be tears in her eyes.
What's going on?
Zhuang Zhongren was confused.
Is it such plum wine that makes this hard-hearted old woman think of something?
And Granny Jin is at the moment, but her heart is mixed.
Back then, when the now old and frail Granny Jin was still the peerless plum fruit, the young master of the Jiang family, who was his childhood sweetheart, always drank plum wine with him.
In the slightly green sweet and sour, there is this old woman, the most beautiful years.
Granny Jin picked up the wine glass and took a sip with her mouth, such a familiar taste, staying between her teeth and her lips, as if time had gone backwards.
So, in the tearful eyes of Mrs. Jin's mother-in-law, she seemed to see that not far away, there was a young man in brocade clothes, smiling at her.
And that smile is the most beautiful smile I've ever seen in my life.
"Meiguo, come on, this is a newly brewed plum wine, I will keep it for you, waiting to drink it with you. ”
The boy shouted that the season of plum wine is the same every year.
Granny Kim is in tears.
And the scene in front of him seemed to let his tears wash away.
The boy is gone, his beautiful smile is gone, and his beautiful voice is gone.
The rest is just the old self and the plum wine that has never changed its taste.
