Tang Dynasty good man

Chapter [-] Choice

The fourth child who got off work in the afternoon came back and found that the few cricket pots he had found were gone, and came to me to ask for them.Lan Ling took it away, I had no choice but to promise to make some more for her as a present, it was still the same style, so coaxed for a long time without any effect.While I was worrying, Ying helped me out and asked the fourth child to have a private meeting. It must be to discuss job hopping.

The result of the discussion made Ying very annoyed, the old top four donkey lost his temper, and would rather die than transfer, crying loudly and tragically, in order not to harm Chi Yu, the second woman and I put some change and ran out of the house to take refuge, it was not dark not coming back.

Due to the two newly built workshops in Zhuangzi, more than 200 craftsmen have been added at once, especially the large residential area where the papermaking workshop was built. There are many men, women and children with their families. Farmers are different, they have a lot of wages in their hands, and their consumption ability and desire are comparable to those of non-farmers. However, Wangjiazhuangzi is far away from the capital, so some shrewd traders rent houses near the workshops and transform them into shops to start business. In the evening, craftsmen who had finished work came in groups of three or four to shop, and the originally quiet Zhuangzi suddenly became lively.

In summer, the days are long and the night is dark, so I have a lot of time to wander around, and the second daughter leads me to the crowded shops.Because I showed up frequently when there was a flood, most people in the village were already familiar with me. When they saw me and the second daughter coming over, they either avoided them or came up to say hello respectfully. The treatment of the Tu Emperor made me very satisfied.

They all have a small storefront, and the goods are pitiful. The most high-end products are pots and bowls, thimbles, and there is a small wine shop. Seasonal vegetables are cold and mixed with wine. eat out.After showing off for a while, I felt bored, and I couldn't bear the hunger, so I went back to Zhuangkou Bridge and weighed two catties of maltose, and walked home anxiously.

"If the fourth brother quits, what should you do if you can't justly take over the toilet water workshop?" I have been worrying about this matter. .The second wife of the Wang family suddenly became the big shopkeeper, and the Wang family lost face in the circle.

"The fourth child can't leave, don't worry, my husband." The second daughter smiled and licked the big candy. Today I asked Grandpa Maltose to break the candy into big pieces on purpose, so that the two girls would not eat it in one bite. Boom boom a few times to eat up.It's not that I hate spending money. Those with rotten teeth will be pulled out before they live to the age, and I feel uncomfortable.Those who watched were also uncomfortable, "No matter how powerful the madam is, she can't wear her down. She has a stubborn and weird temper. Why don't you take the concubine around before it's dark. Now you'll be ashamed when you go back, and you won't be able to suffer." scold."

"Aren't you hungry?" Lan Ling and I visited to study cotton today, and didn't eat much, so we associated everything with cotton candy.The stomach is so empty, "Go back and eat indiscriminately, you just get in the room and don't come out. No matter how angry Madam is, she can't rush in and scold you." Ying is still measured in this point, unlike some grandmas. If you are not good enough, if you are a little angry, you will use the concubine as a trick, not to mention that the second daughter has been with her for so long.But I might be somewhat involved.Especially when it came to my fourth child's marriage, I was very inactive and easily affected. "Recently, you'd better be careful. According to you, if the fourth brother refuses to go to death, the madam will inevitably be in a bad mood. Don't show your face and do what you want."

"En!" The second girl nodded, seeing no one around, came up to hold my arm.The body naturally squeezed a few times.He whispered: "Husband, this concubine is already an adult..."

"I know." I looked around, "Go back and tell me how ugly it is to meet people outside."

"The fourth one stays at home and doesn't leave. At night, the concubine sleeps with me, so I can't even go back to the kang." The second girl blushed, her eyes fluttered, "I have to find a way to get rid of it. Husband, do you want to be a concubine? "

"Go, I've only been peaceful for a few days and made a mistake again," patting the head of the second daughter lovingly. She usually sleeps on the same bed and doesn't pay much attention to it. Lan Ling said, "I've entered the yard, don't attract the attention of the servants, follow behind."

"Hee hee," the second daughter obediently let go of her hands and followed me, "My husband, please."

"Hush, I'll go in and have a look, and call Madam away, you sneak into the main room and don't come out." When I returned home, I took the second daughter to the kitchen to get some food and drink, and asked her to eat after entering the house, "The fourth child is probably in the house too If you are angry, you eat with her, and I will persuade Madam. You two should not show your face."

Ying moved a chair and sat outside the door of the wing room, drinking tea, with a calm face, watching me sneaking into the courtyard with a half-smile, "Is Zhuangzi all right?" she asked before I could speak.

"It's all good. A lot of mud has been dug out of the river canal. It's a good material for the fertile land." After entering the door, I moved a chair and sat down, "The people in the lowland behind have newly scratched the land, and the foundation can be laid in two days , From now on, our village will become more and more lively. Look, I just opened a few shops, and I don’t have much stock, so I bought a new thimble for my wife.” I twisted my body and took out a thimble to cover Ying’s sight, and poked my head towards the door The second girl winked.

Ying took it with a smile, tried it on, "Thank you husband, it fits right in your hand." Then she pushed me away and called, "Second girl, come here! Sneaky, how about a thief?"

The success fell short, and the second daughter was discovered the moment she was about to enter the room. She brought a lunch box and honestly came to confess her guilt, with a pitiful look on her face.

"The food is here? Let it go. Today, my wife and I will eat. You and the fourth child go to the kitchen to order." Seeing that the second daughter was captured, they hurried out to smooth things over, "Just put it away." Show the second daughter He rolled his eyes and shouted: "Why are you so stupid? Why don't you hurry up!"

The two girls cooperated professionally, turned around and disappeared in panic.

"Husband is really..." Ying turned her head and looked at me with a smile, she stretched out her hand and brushed my shoulder, "As for not? If you still protect me like this, I can't kill the second daughter." She sighed and opened the meal Xiazi looked at it, "The fourth child has a stinky temper. She wants to marry into a rich family. This sister has paved the way, and she is unwilling to go to the princess's side. She is looking for life and death. The concubine is so unwilling to recruit." People like it?"

"Children are ignorant and don't understand adults' minds. Madam, don't take it to heart." The second daughter served a lot of meals with many tricks.Handing the chopsticks to Ying, he comforted her: "You should worry about her, and it's normal for her not to like you worrying about it. Who hasn't passed this age? They are all people who have experienced it, and it will make sense after thinking about it. After a few years, she will know In addition to being grateful for your painstaking efforts, you are still grateful. If you eat a few mouthfuls of hot food, Madam is very thoughtful, and it hurts to look thin."

"That's the same thing." Ying smiled wryly, and put a piece of meat into my bowl, "It's true that my husband loves my concubine. Come to feel it, this is what a woman's family plans, and that's enough. Does she feel grateful behind the fourth child?" It doesn't matter, as long as the life is good." He took a sip of fermented glutinous rice and smiled, "Actually, when I got married, I also had a few troubles, which is a bit like the fourth child. It's just not as powerful as her."

"I know, come to think of it." It's not a time of free love, and you haven't even met each other. If any girl is willing to sleep with a strange man, Ying's words are not surprising.He smiled and asked: "Before marrying me, I was afraid that I promised someone else? Who is it? Tomorrow I will bring someone to demolish his house."

Ying heard what I said was interesting, and smiled and replied: "It's all nonsense. I wrote it when I was young, but I'm not as crazy as the fourth one. I don't even meet many people. The second elder has been a lady since they got engaged. It’s not for the sake of being able to climb into the high gate of the Wang family.” Flicking her hair, she recalled: “It was winter that year, and my concubine was still young, and I was planning to get a shoe sole. Suddenly many guests came to the house, and my parents I liked to set up a flowing banquet for a day, and everyone came to sit at the banquet, regardless of whether I knew them or not. I even changed my tone when I said thank you, and changed my usual humble attitude. Finally, I realized that I was engaged in a marriage. At that time, I heard that I was going to get married For the eldest grandson of the founding marquis, the concubine loves it very tightly, who knows that the closer the wedding is, the more flustered her heart will be, and she will sulk for no reason in the next few days. I have trampled the second daughter miserably. Hehe." It is estimated that the memories of the past will be diluted. Aware of Ying's concern, she took a swig of fermented glutinous rice. "On the day I got married, my concubine really lost her mind. She spent a whole night sending out porcelain. She didn't know what was going on in her mind. She even forgot to cry for her parents when she went out. She was so stupid that she was moved to a float." A fusion of memories , Ying showed the shyness of a bride on her face, and her small eyes were watery and beautiful, "The scene of getting married is so big, it's so big that a businessman's family can't even imagine it. I just remembered the benefits of being a concubine when I was seriously ill." She glanced at me coquettishly, stuffed food into her mouth to cover up her shame, and bowed her head for a long time before speaking, "The fourth child just saw the scene where the concubine got married. , arguing to marry a rich family. Now that she wants to find a rich family, she will bite the bullet and refuse to go to the princess. Forget it, I have done my best, and it will depend on her luck in the future."

I love Ying's appearance the most. She has a small nose, small eyes and a small face. When she's shy, she shows off her small appearance, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't feel distressed.Contrary to the majestic appearance and temperament of the women in Guanzhong, Ying is so young, especially when she is with Lanling Station, they are two different weathers.Lanling doesn't touch Ying's strengths, and Lanling's strengths, Ying can't touch them, they complement each other.Only the second daughter seems to be a complex of the two, with the atmosphere of Lanling, but also revealing a delicate and delicate appearance, and even her mind overlaps with the two.

I don't know if Wu Zetian will win easily if he meets an opponent like the second daughter. Maybe after twelve rounds of fighting between the two, the second daughter's points are more likely to win.I have to put a little effort into this girl's transformation. It doesn't matter if she is a little stupid, as long as there is no trouble.

"What is your husband thinking? So preoccupied?" Seeing that I was silent, Ying asked curiously.

"Small matter, I'm happy to hear what you said, so I started to think wildly." He took the cattail fan and shook it a few times, "I didn't see any eggs today, hehe."

"The second daughter is tired of eating, but the dishes are delicious. The girl has a tricky mouth." Ying laughed at me for protecting the second daughter, rolled a pancake and put it in front of me, "Use the second daughter as a maid before getting married, and take her out I've been angry. It's different now. After my husband recovers from his illness, I suddenly feel that I can rely on him, and my heart has changed so much that I don't even know myself. The second daughter is treated like a concubine's child, and it is difficult to fight. Not willing to work hard."

Ying was crazy about the child, ever since she saw the child's first birthday at Yuchi's house, she kept talking about it, and there were only two daughters around who could show maternal love, and her care became more and more trivial.He gets angry when he eats too much sugar, looks at drinking goat milk before going out, and raises his hand when he sees that he is not in the right way, then he will be taught a lesson and spoiled for no reason. The awe trend, is complicated.

"Don't take it too seriously, we're only in our early twenties, and we'll have a long time to come." As soon as she talked about this, Ying's mood turned from good to bad, and she comforted her: "It's a coincidence Ah, three or five in one go. We haven’t met the right time yet, have we? Look at Cui Zhang, he got married a few years earlier than us, didn’t he just add a girl in the last year?” I was thinking about Cui Zhang’s birthday the day after tomorrow. , "You have a good relationship with Mrs. Cui's family. It's Cui Zhang's birthday the day after tomorrow. What would you like to give?"

"Talking about Mrs. Cui, Yuqian even talked to my concubine," Ying pondered for a while. "Birthday gifts are too heavy for life, and too light to show your identity. It's best to be calligraphy and paintings. When Qin Yu was apprenticed to his teacher, he gave a lot of them. I picked a few and took them over." He looked at it with a strange expression. Look at me, "Husband, don't worry about such gossip. The Cui family is a rich family in the former dynasty. They made great contributions when the country was founded, and their population is prosperous. Mrs. Cui always said that Cui Zhang admired your talent. Just walk around more It's good to move around. This time, I just happened to deliver it in person,"

"Hey, I don't care, but I've been too busy recently, so I'll definitely go in person this time." It's not enough to stop someone else's mouth by spreading gossip.Cui Zhang is also thin-skinned, he would be ashamed to talk to me when people talk about it, and the more gossiping, the worse.This time, I happened to come to him and said, "Next time I catch the rumormonger, I'll chop off his tongue. There will be anyone else."

Ying smiled and said: "I don't blame people for spreading rumors. Husband ran around with him last year, plus Cui Zhang's good looks..." Speaking of good looks, Ying smiled happily, "How can there be a man with a long face?" With a womanly face, Mrs. Cui also worked very hard on weekdays, hehe..."

It's hard work, my wife is not as good-looking as my husband.My sister and sister in the bed, I get goosebumps when I think about it. "Stop spoiling others, hurry up and eat, it's getting cold." Hitting Ying with a chopstick, her mind was not pure at all.

The fourth child did not change jobs after all. When Lan Ling got the news the next day, he was so disappointed that he broke two brushes in a row.

"I won't go. Why are you so angry with my brush?" My heart ached to death.It's a high-end product that I just bought, and it costs a penny a piece. "You write less today, my family doesn't have so many pens for you to use."

"Hehe, live your life carefully, two brushes, what a big deal." Lan Ling realized that he had lost his composure, and laughed, "Don't come down. It's the first time no one sold my account, so I played my temper, so I just Like this in front of you."

Lan Ling has this character, he will lose his temper when he has a temper, and admit it after he loses his temper, without implicating anyone.

"Did you ask about the cotton yesterday?" He took the broken brush and drew it together for a while, but there was no tape, and it couldn't be connected, so it would be a pity to throw it away.

"I just started to inquire, see if you're in a hurry." Lan Ling grabbed the broken pen from my hand and threw it away, "It's a big man, it looks useless, what are you thinking about when it's broken? I heard people say, 'Nanlin Garden' (The Royal Nursery specializes in providing seedlings and flowers to the Royal Forest Garden) There are a few gardeners from Tianzhu who can plant that, why don't we go and have a look?"

"Now?" It doesn't matter if you and Lan Ling are messing around at home, and the two of them will immediately provoke gossip when they go out together, "Isn't it convenient for us to go? Besides, they may not let me in."

"So I'll bring you a badge," he said and handed over a copper sign, "I won't go with you, you go to your place, I go to mine, it's irrelevant."

"Oh," I took the waist card and looked at it. There was nothing unusual, and the workmanship was not very delicate. "Is there any cotton now?"

"It's still a month away. I told them to collect more flower seeds and find a plot of land to plant next year." Lan Ling moved his wrist, "I sprained it during fencing in the morning, and it hurts."

"Tell you not to be careful." I pulled my hand and looked at it over and over again, but there was no change, "You just wait, I will just cup you." I knew cupping when I was a child, and my mother is superstitious about it. Her leg was twisted, and instead of seeing a doctor, she called me over to give her a cupping.I found a few empty toilet water bottles in the running room, and brought them over with some wine stained on the sackcloth.

"You know how to do this?" Lan Ling looked at the small porcelain bottle tightly sucked on his wrist, "I still can't see it, the cupping pot is top-notch, but people are suffering from apoplexy and cold pulling, so sprains are not enough?"

"I went to the doctor in a hurry, no matter whether it can be lifted or not, it can't kill people," he said, and pulled out another one on the back of her wrist, one in front and one in back, symmetrically. "My hands are so bad today, I don't write anymore."

"You thought about not writing for a long time, and you made excuses for being lazy." Lan Ling enjoyed the taste of cupping, with his hands resting on the armrest, "How can you suck on the meat as soon as the fire is burning? How can you suck so steadily?"

"It's a long story, and I won't be able to explain it to you in three or five days." I didn't have any experimental equipment at hand, and I was involved in physics and chemistry. It was a bit difficult to answer this question purely with words.

"If you understand, just tell me. If you don't understand, pretend less." Lan Ling glanced at me disdainfully, "You can charge your energy in front of me in one day. What's the problem with the small pot? It will take three to five days?"

Lanling is a bit overbearing, let alone her, there are many people who don't know this truth in a thousand years, and it is considered a genius to understand it in three to five days. Of course, I must first have a talent for language. "It's okay to tell you, but it's not very useful, at least not very useful now, it's a waste of spit."

"Speak!" Lan Ling smiled triumphantly, "Don't hide it, I didn't plan to let you go on vacation." He changed into a comfortable position and half-lyed on the soft chair, not like a student studying, but like a debt collector to collect debts.

"I owe you!" Standing up, he took a cup of tea and moistened his mouth first, "Listen up."
