Chapter 25: Find an excuse to meet this Murong Wan'er
"Murong?" Zhong Dushan asked.
"Yes. ”
"How did you meet?"
Zhong Jin will tell you about the events of that day.
"So, you've only seen her once?" Zhong Dushan said, a little unhappy in his tone.
Seeing his father's attitude, Zhong Jin hurriedly said:
"Father, although I have only met the girl once, but she is beautiful and has a unique temperament, and the child fell in love with her at first sight, such a feeling that the child has never felt before. So the child secretly made up her mind that she would not marry in this life. ”
"Jin'er, you know, marriage is a major event in life, not child's play. Besides, you are the eldest son of the Zhong family, and you will inherit the entire Zhong family in the future, and the eldest daughter-in-law of our Zhong family should be a good girl with both ability and political integrity. How much do you know about this Murong girl? You haven't been in contact with him, how do you know that he is really not as good as you imagined?"
"Oh, by the way" Zhong Dushan seemed to think of something, so he continued: "Jin'er, does this Murong girl have anything to do with that Murong Feng?"
"Father, they are the same family. They are all outcasts adopted by his master, by the way, their master, named Murong Yingxue, is the one who used the secret weapon on me at the Zangwu Mountain Martial Arts Conference at that time. ”
"It turned out to be her. Jin'er, if you do something like this, I'm afraid that the apprentices you teach won't be of good character, right?"
"Father, Master is Master, and Apprentice is Apprentice. Besides, isn't Murong Feng also their apprentice, or did he help us find Shui'er. ”
Faced with Jin'er's words, Zhong Dushan didn't know how to respond.
"That's it, Jin'er, that's all for today, and your mother and I have to discuss it carefully. ”
After saying that, Zhong Dushan left.
And at this moment, in Mrs. Zhong's room, Lian'er is taking a bath.
At first, Lian'er insisted on washing herself, but Mrs. Zhong disagreed.
"Shui'er, let your mother wash it for you. Let me give you a little bit of maternal love that has not been given to you in so many years. ”
Looking at Mrs. Zhong's reddish eyes, Lian'er agreed.
Looking at Lian'er, Mrs. Zhong's tears burst out of her eyes.
This thin girl is the water that was stolen when she was still in infancy.
Back then, after giving birth to two sons, I always hoped to have a daughter, but then God favored me and finally got my wish. Moreover, the lotus flower of Lingyun Mountain was also a blood lotus that appeared once in three hundred years, which can be said to be a good thing in pairs.
However, since Shui'er was inexplicably stolen, his heart has followed this child, and he doesn't know where he has gone, so that for so many years, he has been like a person without a heart. When I see other people's children, I am always extremely envious, and when I get home, I wash my face with tears. Later, he kept his door closed and didn't dare to see anyone. Eating fasting and reciting Buddha all day long, for those who come to ask for lotus flowers, they also have a response, hoping to bless Shui'er through such good deeds and accumulation of virtue.
Now, the water that I think about day and night is by my side.
However, at this moment, Shui'er has grown up, and she is already a slim girl, no longer the little weak baby.
How did she grow from such a small size to such a big one? How much suffering and how many sins did she suffer in the process? In all fairness, this little daughter who loved her the most still missed her growth after all.
As soon as she thought of this, Mrs. Zhong burst into tears.
Fortunately, the cinnabar mole on Shui'er's chest is still so clearly visible.
At night, Zhong Dushan and Mrs. Zhong lay down to rest.
Mrs. Zhong just watched Shui Er fall asleep.
"Twilight, our water is back. Mrs. Zhong said emotionally.
"Yes, my wish has come true after so many years. Zhong Dushan nodded.
"I bathed Shui'er just now, and I saw that our Shui'er was very thin, and, according to me, our Shui'er was just a mortal, and it didn't seem to have any martial arts and spells. ”
"It's no wonder, after all, Shui'er grew up under the mountain, and in the mortal world, where would there be any martial arts and spells. Besides, Shui'er has always grown up alone, and lack of food and clothing must be commonplace, and her body will naturally be thinner. ”
"But, Dusk Mountain, have you forgotten? When we were young, we gave Shui'er a blood lotus that only blooms once in three hundred years, although she is malnourished in the future, but with this blood lotus, Shui'er's body is not like this now. ”
"Ma'am, don't think about it so much. Perhaps it was the harsh environment down the mountain that made this blood lotus not play its due role. ”
"Well, anyway, the water is back, and from now on, our family can really be reunited. ”
At this moment, Zhong Dushan suddenly thought of something, so he said:
"By the way, ma'am, the whole thing is handled by Jin'er, how should we reward him?"
"Yes, Jin'er has made a great contribution to the family this time, and we must not treat Jin'er badly. Through this incident, Jin'er's ability to do things can also be seen, Dushan, it is better to take this opportunity to pass on the position of the head of the Zhong family to Jin'er. ”
"Indeed, this incident does show that Jin'er is very capable. However, "Zhong Dushan wanted to speak and stopped.
"Twilight, what's wrong?What are you worried about?Are you worried that if the legend is in Jin'er, Shen'er will have some ideas. You can rest assured of this, my own son I know, Shen'er has a gentle temperament since she was a child, and she has always wanted to live a life of idle clouds and wild cranes in her head, and she doesn't care about this kind of fame and fortune. ”
"Madam, I'm not worried about this, I think it's too early to pass on the position of head to Jin'er. ”
"What, Twilight, you can't believe it?"
"Actually, it's not that I can't believe it, it's just," Then, Zhong Dushan told Mrs. Zhong what Zhong Jin had proposed to him today.
Then, Zhong Dushan continued: "Madam, Jin'er's request is not excessive, but we really don't know anything about this Murong girl. At the same time, I even sometimes feel that I am asking for credit. You think, as soon as he helped us find the water, he broke Shen'er away, and then made such a request to me, as if everything was planned by him. ”
After listening to Zhong Dushan's words, Mrs. Zhong also made a difficulty.
"Twilight, anyway, this time it's really thanks to Jin'er. Even if he deliberately invites merit, you just look at Shui'er's face, don't worry about him. ”
"But I can't let him marry someone who doesn't know anything about it, can I?"
Zhong Dushan's words are not unreasonable.
"But how should we investigate this man? If we send someone directly, it will definitely cause unnecessary misunderstanding, and besides, don't you say that his master has a very strange temper? ”
Suddenly, Mrs. Zhong saw the mandarin duck embroidered on her pillow and thought about it.
"Twilight, don't be sad, I have a way. ”
"What's the solution?"
"You'll know then, but we still need someone's help in this matter. ”
The person in Mrs. Zhong's mouth is none other than Mrs. Zhuang of the banker's house.
This Mrs. Zhuang, her mother's family is a famous embroiderer family on Lingyun Mountain, operating the largest embroidery factory on the mountain, almost all the embroideries on Lingyun Mountain every year are from Mrs. Zhuang's mother's family.
Mrs. Zhuang has grown up in such an environment since she was a child, and she has been exposed to it, coupled with Mrs. Zhuang's talent and intelligence, and she is very accomplished in embroidery, and has become a unique famous embroidery girl in the entire Lingyun Mountain.
After marrying into the Zhuang family, Mrs. Zhuang still did not forget the embroidery, just a few years of marriage, but also held several embroidery competitions on Lingyun Mountain, won a very good reputation.
But later, after Mrs. Zhuang gave birth to several children, the mother naturally did not have the spirit of her youth, and the busyness of her husband and children made her have no time to hold any embroidery competitions.
And Mrs. Zhong's plan is to let Mrs. Zhuang hold the embroidery girl contest again, so that this Murong girl will participate.
This is of course, not to see Miss Murong's embroidery skills, but to take advantage of this move to make Miss Murong the champion, so that there will be a chance to meet, and then make a decision.
So early in the morning, Mrs. Zhong came to the dealer's house.
"My good sister-in-law, why do you have time to come?" said Mrs. Zhuang enthusiastically.
"My sister said seriously, a few days ago, there was something at home, and I didn't bother to come to see my sister. ”
"Oh, sister-in-law, you must be talking about water. Blame me, blame me, I haven't had time to congratulate my sister-in-law yet. ”
After the two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, Mrs. Zhong explained her intentions.
"Sister, I won't tell you, I came this time because I asked my sister for help. ”
"Sister-in-law, where is this, if there is anything, even if my sister-in-law explains, I will definitely do my best. ”
So, Mrs. Zhong told Mrs. Zhuang the whole thing.
"What kind of big thing should I be, it's such a small thing. What's so hard about this, I'll just do it. Haha, our Jin'er is also an adult, and he knows how to ask for his own family. Sister-in-law, when the time comes, I will check with you to see if this Murong girl is worthy of being your daughter-in-law. ”
"Since then, I really thank my sister. Mrs. Zhong said gratefully.
"It's okay, sister-in-law, it's too much for our two families to say such things. By the way, sister-in-law, how can you guarantee that this Murong girl will compete?"
"When the time comes, I'll set the bonus a little bigger. ”
"Sister-in-law, not all people are moved by money. ”
"So, does my sister have any good ideas?"
Mrs. Zhuang thought for a while and said, "Sister-in-law, why don't I take out the embroidery thread of my family's female Hongshan as a prize." ”
The embroidery thread of the female red mountain mentioned by Mrs. Zhuang is an extremely precious embroidery thread.
This female red mountain has always been famous for being a female red.
The climate of the whole mountain is very suitable for the growth of cotton, and the thread spun from the cotton here is the best thread within a radius of hundreds of miles, not only the color is bright, but also strong and durable, and the most important thing is that the embroidery thread spun out of these cottons has a faint fragrance.
For many years, Mrs. Zhuang's mother's family has been embroidering with this kind of embroidery thread, and this embroidery thread is extremely precious, and only a large family like this can get it, and most people have only heard of it, but have not seen it. Therefore, the embroidery thread of this female red mountain can be said to be the dream in every girl's heart, and there is no girl who does not want it.
"Sister-in-law, use this as a prize, you will definitely hit every shot. ”
"Sister, I really don't know what to say. Mrs. Zhong was grateful, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
"Sister-in-law, you, don't say anything, just wait here and watch a good show with me. ”
