Sima Yun said that he would go to the gambling stall to win 10,000 taels the next day, and then send 10,000 taels out to fish, but in fact only sent out 9,980 taels, and the remaining 20 taels bought a lot of good dishes to wait at the agreed place, still he and Zhang Mingyue and the nerd Li Muzhi The three of them, the old man has never liked this kind of occasion, and he can't be forced, and the princesses are not much interested in this kind of meeting with drinking friends.

"I know that you will not miss the appointment, I have already told my lady, I will pay for this wine, but our family is a little simple, and I hope the three of them will not dislike it. ”

"Where did Brother Tai say, the three of us were also born in the rivers and lakes, and there was never any dislike or dislike, some were just worth it, Brother Tai was so polite that the three of us were a little flattered. ”

After a polite time, he was led by Confucius to a relatively large house, but it is indeed a little simple as Confucius said, there are only a few stone tables and stone benches and two locust trees that have just sprouted in the courtyard, it seems that it should be the ancestral house handed down by the Confucian from his ancestors, and there is no one else, just two toddler children, a man and a woman, the kitchen has generated a few cooking smoke, and the voice of a woman is busy.

"The family is simple, there is really nothing that can be handled, the family business left by my ancestors was almost lost by me, so I rely on my wife to do some needlework to make a living, and I also make a little money by writing letters for others on weekdays, which makes a few people laugh. ”

"It's not enough to laugh, but I don't really understand, since the family is like this, why does Brother Tai spend three taels of silver to make a painting? That should be the money you can earn by writing at least dozens of letters on your behalf. Sima Yun asked puzzled.

"That's because this useless man in my family has liked piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since he was a child, and almost all the valuable things in the family are sold for his interest, and even the jade pendant of a few taels of silver on his body is a fake that he bought in order to calm the guilt in his heart after selling the ancestral jade pendant. ”

At this time, Confucian's wife came out of the kitchen to take over the vegetables bought by Zhang Mingyue, she was ordinary, like an ordinary peasant woman, with quick hands and feet, it is not difficult to see that she often does these jobs, after all, but the woman does not have any boredom.

"It's troublesome for a few sons, just because the family really can't take out the silver two to entertain a few, although my man said that he went out to earn money and came diligently, often ten days and half a month and did not come back, but where the money was earned only he himself knows, I am a woman and I don't bother to ask, now the conditions at home are not good, as long as you don't take the things out of the house, after all, whose man doesn't have a hobby, my man is already good, no prostitution or gambling, at most all the money earned is spent on Jiangxia Building, marry a chicken with a chicken and marry a dog with a dog, I will admit it。 ”

The woman chattered and at the same time carried enough chicken, duck and fish meat for her family to eat for half a month.

"You entertained a few sons, I went to get busy first, and I don't know where you got so good luck to know the three nobles. ”

"Isn't that because your man is blessed, otherwise how could he marry such a virtuous wife, right?"

The woman blushed visibly when she heard this, but then snorted at the thought of someone else present.

"I knew you were so useless, my mother wouldn't marry you two years ago, wasn't it because of your little love poems? ”

The woman chattered back and forth for a long time, and finally went into the kitchen to get busy, and soon the smell of food came from her.

"Brother Tai has married a good wife, so that my brother is envious. ”

Sima Yun quipped, but he could see that he was really envious.

"If you are envious, you can also start a family, you don't have to be so adrift. ”

Zhang Mingyue said with a smile, Sima Yun was rarely speechless.

On this day, after the meal was ready, even the nerd Li Muzhi, who never drank alcohol, drank several glasses of wine, and the Confucian lady burned a good dish in the end, no worse than the cook in Jiangxia Building, but no matter how much Sima Yun persuaded him, he refused to come to the banquet, just took a pair of twin children to eat in the kitchen, and said that where there are men eating at the table and women also sit on it, this is very similar to the fisherman woman Liu Yuyu, she doesn't come, Sima Yun is not easy to persuade each other, and she has a happy meal, Zhang Mingyue can't help but start to have a good impression of this Confucian student。

Painting for three taels of silver may sound a bit ridiculous, but who doesn't have a hobby in his life? He practiced knives, and if he were to exchange all his savings for a good knife, he might not be willing.

When parting, Sima Yun helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and after being busy, the three of them left unsatisfied, and there was only a family of four left in the ancestral house.

"You are so blessed, you can know such three sons, they left us a lot of silver, if I hadn't found it when I cleaned up the ashes, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known. ”

The woman quickly cleaned up the table, and seemed to be in a good mood, after all, anyone who got such a large sum of money would be very happy, but at the end she suddenly stopped moving.

"Well, when did I become such a philistine, I was not like that when I married you. ”

Even though she chattered for a long time, she still didn't see her man speak, and when she turned her head, she found that her man was looking at the door of the ancestral house in a daze.

"It's not that I said you, I've been married to you for two years, you haven't spent a few times at home, and then look at our sons and daughters, you are still so uncertain, busy outside all day, and I don't know what to do, so many years have made three real friends this time, when did the other people you come back with aren't crooked melons and cracked dates? ”

The woman seemed to feel that she couldn't get over it every time she thought about it, and she continued.

"If you want me to say, you really handed over these three sons, twenty or thirty taels of silver, the right should be lent to our family first, I will go to the street to do more needlework and try to earn enough money to pay back to others, and your fox friends and dogs don't bring back, bring it back if you don't buy vegetables yourself, and I want to use the hard-earned money to support the family to buy big fish and meat, you don't want to think about what to do when our daughter and son grow up in the future, you can't save money?"

The woman nagged for a long time, maybe she felt that she couldn't listen to it anymore, put down the rag and sat on the stool sulking, Confucius finally stood up and came to this lady who was more than ten years younger than herself, he said softly.

"Lady, do you know that the happiest thing in my life is to marry you, as for the fox friends and dog friends you said, because they think they know me very well, that's why they do that, and the three sons you mentioned, because they don't know me, they will do this, in short, the family affairs will be more shouldered, men, there are always things that men should be busy with. ”

Confucian Sheng hugged the woman's shoulders and hugged her into his arms, and the woman who had complained a moment ago immediately became blushing.

"I'm so ashamed to be old. ”

It didn't sound boring, but in fact he didn't refuse, but became more and more like the well-behaved, already married woman who first met him, whispered.

"When are you going to come back this time?"

"I don't know yet. ”

Confucius shook his head.

"I've been working on a big deal lately, and I should be making a lot of money by making this deal. ”

"How much is a lot of silver, can you pay back the three sons?"

"I guess so. ”

Confucius smiled.

"This is your man, this is my first time doing business, you know that I have never been in business before, and I suddenly took on such a big deal, and I do have some expectations when I think about it. ”

Looking at the gate of the ancestral mansion, which had long since disappeared the shadows of the three people, Confucian Sheng's eyes burned......
