Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 8 Premarital Trivia

Being bored at home, watching Xiuzhu jumping up and down every day sorting Xiuzhu and his soft things, and preparing to move, so Wu Shigong asked Xiuzhu to tidy up the books in his study.On the day he woke up from the coma, he saw that the books in the study were a little too messy.Hearing Wu Shigong's request, Xiu Zhu was very surprised: Didn't the young master never ask her to tidy up the books in the study?It is said that after being sorted, I don't know which page the book is turned to, and it is inconvenient to find it later.Hearing Xiuzhu's question, Wu Shigong didn't take it seriously, and thought in his heart: "Master, I am tired of these serious books the most. I don't know if I will read it again in the future." Seeing Wu Shigong's insistence, Xiuzhu also He tidied up the study room swiftly, and asked Wu Shigong if he wanted to pack and transport these books to the new house?Wu Shigong hesitated for a moment, feeling that it would be bad if his personality changed too much, so he acquiesced to Xiuzhu's idea.

During the period, at Xiuzhu's request, Xiuzhu accompanied Wu Shigong to visit his personal servant and book boy - Shumo, to show his greatness.Seeing Wu Shigong's arrival, Shumo's mother hurriedly welcomed Wu Shigong into the house and stayed with him, saying a lot of good things.Wu Shigong ignored her, and saw Shumo lying on the bed like a pig in the room, "humming".

Shumo doesn't look a few days older than Xiuzhu.The two cousins ​​look alike.When Shumo saw Wu Shigong coming to visit him, he immediately burst into tears.Then crying sadly, full of snot and tears.If you just listen to the decibels of his crying, you may think that he has a deep understanding of his mistakes.Seeing such a big man, no!It was a big boy who wiped his tears, Wu Shigong also softened his heart, and wanted to forgive Shumo, but he didn't expect that what Shumo said next was wrong.

Shumo defended Wu Shigong: At that time, he didn't want to escape, but wanted to go home and ask someone for help.Who?Liar?When I am a fool?Wu Shigong didn't hit one place when he was angry.Obviously he ran away cowardly, but it is understandable to say that such a big boy is cowardly.It can be seen from this argument that Guozijian is in Beicheng and Wu's Mansion is in Xicheng. The distance between the two places is eight miles if not ten miles.Besides, with your status and face in the Wu Mansion, can you be called a ghost in the Wu Mansion?It can be called embroidered bamboo at the top of the sky.Could it be that Xiuzhuwu came with an embroidery needle to come to a beautiful woman to save the hero?

Xiuzhu also felt that her cousin's defense was too ridiculous, and saw that Wu Shigong's face was a little bad, she had no choice but to be cousins ​​with Shumo, so she secretly pulled Wu Shigong's lapel, and begged him for mercy.Wu Shigong forcibly held back the anger in his heart, because Xiuzhu still had to give face.He decisively interrupted Shumo's crying with a wave of his hand, and made a decision: "Capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. A fine of 20 taels of silver will be deducted from the monthly bill and handed over to Xiuzhu."

On the way back, Wu Shigong proudly showed off to Xiuzhu: "How is it? The benefits of borrowing money from me, young master, are indispensable. In just a few days, 15 taels of silver has become 20 taels of silver. Look, young master, I miss you the most." Woolen cloth."

Xiuzhu was on the sidelines because of Shumo's performance just now, she dared not speak out, she complained and thought: "Shumo is my cousin, after all, this money is still going around between my family. How could I have the nerve to ask my cousin for money? The young master is so stingy."

Xiu Zhu saw Xue Qiang waiting foolishly at the gate of Wu's house from morning to night every day, so she softened her heart and told Wu Shigong about it.Wu Shigong thought it would be enough to teach Xue Qiang a lesson for three days, after all he had to give the Xue family a face.On the morning of the fourth day, I went out and told Xue Qiang that I didn't go out much these days, so I told Xue Qiang not to wait.But Xue Qiang was very stubborn and determined to stick to his post.At the end of the compromise, Xue Qiang reported to the gate of the Wu Mansion every day and then went back.If Wu Shigong decided to go out temporarily, he would send someone to Xue's residence to inform Xue Qiang.Anyway, Wu's Mansion and Xue's Mansion are both located in Guixun District, and the two families are not far apart.

Originally, this was the end of the matter, but when they broke up, Xue Qiang said a few words: "Actually, it's nothing for a villain to wait every day. Anyway, it's only ten days, and it passed in a flash." Xue Qiang was still thinking It stimulated Wu Shigong.

What do you mean by saying that?Wu Shigong was furious all of a sudden, feeling a little kind like being the liver and lungs of a donkey.But he calmed down immediately.Wu Shigong and Xue Qiang didn't have much contact, only twice in total, but Xue Qiang repeatedly used words to provoke Wu Shigong's anger, Xue Qiang didn't look like a brainless brat, he must have ulterior motives.snort!Want me to drive him away!Although Xue Qiang is not at the level of an enemy, he obviously has malicious intentions towards him.What the enemy wants me not to do, I will do!

Wu Shigong suddenly changed his face, smiled all over his face, put his arms around Xue Qiang's shoulder affectionately and said: "Xiaoqiang." Hearing Wu Shigong's address, Xue Qiang's goose bumps rose. "Xiaoqiang, after thinking about it, I decided not to dampen your enthusiasm for work. You still wait outside the door every day." After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xue Qiang's reaction, he let go of the door and walked away.As Wu Shigong walked, he sneered in his heart: "Hmph! Xiaoqiang? Even if you are a strong pig, I will play you to death, young master."

Xue Qiang really wants to cry without tears, why doesn't he understand that Wu Shigong has seen through his thoughts?I was already self-defeating.He just wanted to yell at me, which boy from the Wu family who gave birth to a son without an asshole told me that Wu Shigong is a nerd and doesn't understand the world?He also charged me two taels of silver.What a shame!

From that day on, Wu Shigong went to visit the city of Beijing in a carriage every day, without any destination, but asked the carriage not to stop.The driver of the cart was fine sitting in front of the cart, but Xue Qiang and the horse who were running beside the cart were exhausted.Wu Shigong came to Beijing City with the mentality of traveling.At first, looking at the classical buildings and street vendors on the side of the road was enjoyable, but after a long time, I also felt a little tired of the old-fashioned style, and felt that it was the same.On the contrary, he felt that the roadside vendors were a bit "dirty and messy", which made Wu Shigong miss the urban management comrades very much.Instead, some snacks and gadgets bought every day were given to Xiuzhu, which made Xiuzhu very happy.By the way, Xue Qiang paid for these things.

During this period, after dinner one day, a very rare person came to visit Wu Shigong's house.It is his seventh brother Wu Shili.Why is it called rare?Because apart from the last time his elder brother accompanied his father, no other brothers and sisters had ever come to his house, at most he would send a maid to call Wu Shigong over if something happened.

The purpose of Wu Shili's visit was very simple, he came to thank Wu Shigong and to send Wu Shigong a wedding present.As mentioned earlier, Wu Shigong's "selling himself" allowed Wu Shigong's father-in-law Xue Lian to settle three positions for the Wu family.The other two positions were taken by Wu Shigong's two elder brothers who had great reputations.One was sent to a county in Guizhou to be a county magistrate; the other was sent to a county in the south of the Yangtze River to be a magistrate.In the end, the job was supposed to go to Wu Shigong's elder brother, who had a reputation for raising people, but that elder brother felt that he had the hope of being a Jinshi, so he gave up.In this way, it fell into the hands of Wu Shili, because he was only a supervisor, so he could only work as a clerk in the Ministry of Punishment, but this position is quite lucrative.And Wu Shili was able to get this position, apart from the fact that Wu Shili's mother, that is, Wu Weizhong's concubine, was more favored by Wu Weizhong, the main reason was that Wu Shili was better at being a man.

Wu Shili is indeed better at being a man.Of course Wu Shigong's other two elder brothers who got the position also went to thank for the gift, but they went to Xue Lian's house.Knowing that Wu Shili was going to Wu Shigong's place, Wu Shili's mother and wife objected, but Wu Shili insisted on doing so.The gift was also very heavy, in addition to 80 taels of silver, there were a lot of other cloth, spices, etc., equivalent to nearly 200 taels of silver.

In particular, Wu Shili's words were very decent, and the feeling of giving charcoal in a timely manner was really good. The two brothers chatted happily very quickly.It's just that when they broke up, Wu Shili seemed to mysteriously give Wu Shigong two booklets, which made Wu Shigong a little strange.

When Wu Shili left, Wu Shigong curiously opened the booklet to see what was going on, only to find out that it was two copies.In modern times, Wu Shigong has seen both the albums and porn, and has done a lot of real swords and guns. It is no boast that he is a master in this area from theory to practice. Now he sees such primitive things. Dong, suddenly lost interest.But after flipping through it again, I found something interesting.

The ancient painters may not have learned how to draw the human body, so the drawn human body, whether it is the proportion of the body parts or the movement of the joints, is very uncoordinated and exaggerated.Isn't this the ** of the comic version of Q version?This aroused Wu Shigong's interest, and he read the album with relish, especially when he saw the annotations next to the pictures, he made two giggles from time to time.

Xiuzhu was embroidering flowers at the side at the moment, seeing his young master reading so engrossedly and making a silly laugh from time to time, he moved his little head over curiously.Immediately blushed, and spat: "Young master is too unscrupulous, reading such obscene books will cause needles in the eyes."

Being accused by Xiuzhu, Wu Shigong suddenly became angry from embarrassment.Putting down the book, he taught Xiu Zhu with a stern face: "What do you know, little girl? This is a popular science education book. Do you understand science?" Then he handed the book to Xiu Zhu, "Put the book away."

Xiuzhu pouted and thought: "I really don't know what 'science popularization' and 'science' are, but the young master is not serious and still wants to lie to me, a little girl, that is impossible." Still put away the book.

Wu Shigong's elder brother Wu Shixun was also transferred to Taipu Temple as an official.Taipu Temple is in charge of horses. In the Ming Dynasty, horses were one of the most important means of transportation.This position is lucrative, just think of the high salaries in the modern auto industry.He also sent a wedding gift, worth 500 taels.Other brothers and sisters also sent people to give gifts one after another. The amount of gift money varies according to gender, height of birth, and whether they are married, but basically it is around 100 taels.There wasn't much grain silver sent directly, and the total amount was only more than 800 taels, and the rest were just items.Perhaps because of what he likes, the Four Treasures of the Study alone sent over twenty sets.This made Wu Shigong a little frustrated, especially looking at the twenty or so inkstones, Wu Shigong had the urge to smash people.How great it would be to convert them into cash for me!

A few days before the wedding, Wu Shigong and Xiuzhu's things were sent to the new house.Xiuzhu also accompanied them.When I came back, I was a little angry.In front of Wu Shigong, he kept complaining about how arrogant the four servant girls of Shao Nainai were, especially the leading one named Zhu Yun.After hearing it, I realized that the maids of the fiancée insisted on decorating the new house according to their young lady's habits, but with Xiuzhu's unremitting efforts, they also agreed to Xiuzhu's arrangement in a small and insignificant place.Wu Shigong finally understood the point of Xiuzhu's words, it turned out that she wanted to show off her strength, to add honor to the Wu family and her young master.So, Wu Shigong kept praising Xiuzhu, which made Xiuzhu's blushing and excited little face happy for a long time.

It rained for the next few days, but Wu Shigong still got into the carriage to go shopping in the morning, and he really did it rain or shine.It didn't matter that Xue Qiang was running in the mud with a sour face while holding an oilcloth umbrella.One day, Wu Shigong leisurely said to Xue Qiang in the car: "Xiao Qiang, you are pretty good, you should work hard after I get married!" Hearing this, Xue Qiang felt that he was about to collapse completely.

On the night of the first day of June, I saw that Xiuzhu was so excited that she didn't sleep, and was still busy patrolling the house to see if there were any items that slipped through the net to be picked up.Wu Shigong couldn't help being a little funny, it seemed that this maid was more enthusiastic about this marriage than herself.I couldn't help teasing Xiu Zhu again: "Xiu Zhu, come quickly to the young master's bed. I heard that the young master of a rich family will have the housekeeper's maid the day before the wedding."

I was looking forward to seeing Xiuzhu's shy look again. Of course, it would be great if Xiuzhu was obedient, but I didn't expect Xiuzhu to reply seriously: "The servant is the young master's person, but the young master is about to get married. With nainai's permission, slaves are not allowed to go to the young master's bed."

Unexpectedly, he was not married yet, and the prestige of his wife had already been established in the heart of his maid.Wu Shigong felt a little regretful just now, but what Xiu Zhu said next was not right: "If the servant girl accompanied the room today, and if Zhu Yun and the others knew about it, they shouldn't make them laugh at the servant girl for not knowing the rules, saying that our Wu family is not well-educated."

I see.Wu Shigong couldn't help being a little dumbfounded.I have done such shameless things as marrying into a family, but I didn't expect that a raging fire of honor would be ignited in the heart of my maid.It seems that when I went to Xue's mansion, the maids around my wife gave Xiu Zhu a deep stimulation, which made Xiu Zhu never forget it until now.Now Wu Shigong is very much looking forward to watching the "Double Bamboo Fight for Hegemony" between the maids of both parties after marriage!
