20. Homecoming
After dinner, Wang Liuwu was so drunk that he went back and fell asleep, talking in his sleep: "It's so good, why bother him."
Wang Qilin helped his father lie down. When he went out, he saw Xu Da stopping Xie Toad and pushing him to the wall. He stretched out his long, hairy arm and made a wall-dong.
He returned to the room silently, his ear against the door.
"Old Taoist priest, let me ask you something."
"What's up?"
"I have a good deal I want to talk to you about. Hehe, you made a paper man to deal with us last time. How did you make the paper man?"
"I didn't make that paper man to deal with you two, I just wanted to scare Wang Xiaoyin. What, you want to learn the paper-piercing technique?"
"As long as you know how to do it, I think the paper figures you make look like real people, then you tie up dozens of women, and then I go to the county to open a brothel, and we can work together to make a fortune!"
The air suddenly became quiet.
Wang Qilin looked out and saw Xie Toad, dumbfounded.
Xu Da proudly said: "How about it? Have you never thought that there is such a business opportunity?"
Xie Toad was horrified: "The old Taoist has traveled south and north, drank water on the shores of the four seas, and had his leg broken on the top of Kunlun Mountain. I claim to be an old martial artist, and I thought I had traveled all over the mountain and seen all the bitches, but I didn't expect that a mountain
There is a mountain high, and one person is more mean than the other. Is there a bitch like you in this world?"
Xu Da was dissatisfied: "You can't spit out pearls from your toad's mouth. I'm also thinking about you. Don't you want to make money as soon as possible to pay back the money for Juxiang Tower?"
Xie Toad couldn't help it anymore: "Get out, okay? Get out of here!"
Xu Da refused to give up: "This is really a good business, and there will be a lot of money."
Xie Toad shook his hands and fled to the ground.
Hearing that nothing happened in Tianjian, Wang Qilin hired a carriage to return to the village the next day.
It happened that he joined the company during the Qingming Festival, and this time he went back to visit relatives and worship his ancestors.
Let’s take a look at the blind date thing.
If the little lady is good-looking, hehehehe.
Xu Da and Xie Toad want to follow.
They also want to see the little lady.
Departed in the morning and arrived at noon.
Archway Township is named after a large chastity archway. This archway appeared in the Song Dynasty and was built by the imperial court to honor a widow in their township. It has been standing since the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties until the present day of the New Han Dynasty.
Horse hooves were beating on the road. Xu Da became interested after seeing a row of high-rise buildings and pavilions: "Hey, Lao Qi, is that the General's Mansion?"
Wang Qilin, who was wandering in the sky, came back to his senses and said: "Yes."
There was a brave general in Paifang Township. When the general retired and returned to his hometown in old age, the imperial court felt that he had dedicated himself to the country and built the general's mansion for him in the village.
Xu Da asked: "I heard that General Huang has a granddaughter who is as beautiful as a fairy. Are you going to go on a blind date with her when you come back this time?"
Wang Qilin shook his head: "I'm not interested in women now..."
Xu Da immediately said: "General Huang seems to have a grandson named Saipan'an who is taller than Song Yu's grandson?"
Wang Liuwu was so frightened by these words that he almost peed on the car. He hurriedly lowered his voice and said: "Don't dare to speak nonsense, don't dare to speak nonsense! Xu Lishi, trouble comes from your mouth!"
He then said to Wang Qilin: "I forgot to tell you that this time you are going on a blind date with the daughter of the rich man Lu's family in Lujiazhuang."
Xu Da immediately winked at him.
Xie Toad, who was sitting on the roof of the car enjoying the ride with his lame leg raised, said curiously: "According to the rules, if you can fall in love with Mr. Wang's daughter, it will be fine. Parents order the matchmaker."
Wang Liuwu glanced at his son carefully and said, "Xiao Qi has had ideas since he was a child. It's better to let him make his own decisions on such matters."
Wang Qilin smiled and said nothing.
Because his soul often leaves his body and goes to the earth, he has been withdrawn since he was a child, and his relationship with his family is not very close. Usually his parents and sister are a little frightened when they see him, and they dare not give him any ideas.
Less than two miles away from the official road in the countryside is Dawang Village. When they see a carriage entering the village, the villagers working in the fields pay attention.
Some children chased the carriage and sang nursery rhymes, and villagers greeted them when they met on the street.
Wang Liuwu sat upright next to the handlebar. He had been honest all his life, and he would still be honest even if his son became an official.
There was a lot of fun after they returned home. When the villagers learned that Wang Qilin, an official, was back, they came to watch the fun.
Xu Da originally wanted to watch the fun, but was mistaken for the fun:
"Look at that black-faced one, he's so strong, like an ox."
"Do you think he is better at plowing than an ox?"
"This guy can eat as much as ten people, and he can feed the entire village of dogs with one poop!"
Wang Liuwu was proud to become the focus of his fellow villagers.
He took out two copper bahts from his pocket and handed them to the driver as a reward.
Face must be kept up.
Looking at the royal family tree, it can be seen that this branch has not yet served as an official after migrating to the local area.
Wang Qilin's mother, Wang Lu, and her four unmarried sisters rushed out to pick them up after hearing the news. Xu Da was surprised: "Your family is prosperous."
Xie Toad said: "It's not like Wang Xiaoyin. Wang Xiaoyin also has two married sisters who are not at home, right?"
Wang Qilin admired: "Awesome, you can calculate this?"
Xie Toad said: "Your father told you on the way."
The clan elders and wealthy households in the village came to visit one after another. Wang Lu arranged the candied dried fruits they brought back one by one and quickly made tea. A group of people gathered together to drink tea and talk happily.
Wang Qilin watched coldly from the side.
Xie Toad asked: "Why doesn't Wang Xiaoyin go and talk to him?"
Wang Qilin said: "I have nothing to say. In the past, our family was poor and we had too many children. When people in the village looked at us, they thought we were the god of plague. People who came to celebrate the New Year would walk around. During the busy farming season, my parents went to help others, but when they turned around,
No one helped us."
His voice was neither high nor low, and everyone was embarrassed when they heard this.
The clan elder coughed and said: "Xiao Qi, let the past matter be bygones. Now that you are an official, you must be generous. How can the prime minister support the boat?"
Xu Da turned around and said: "There is a saying in my hometown that advises people to be generous if they are ridden by dogs."
The faces of several wealthy households changed drastically. Xu Da punched the wooden pier beside him, causing the strong wooden pier to break into pieces.
Wang Qilin laughed loudly, picked up the wooden block and went into the kitchen: "Mom, I will help you light the fire."
A meal was indispensable in the evening. Their chickens were in bad luck. They raised a total of fifteen chickens, and half of them were killed by the knife.
Xu Da was called to kill the chicken. He pinched the chicken's neck and pointed its head at the clan elders and wealthy households: "Don't hate me. Remember them. They want to eat you. Don't come to me if you want revenge in the future."
The clan elder shook his hand and spilled the tea.
They can only bully honest people, and a gangster running rampant in the village can silence them. The gangster in the village was so frightened by Xu Da that he wanted to shrink his penis into his prostate. Xu Da was like a blood suppressor in the face of the villagers.
Not only did he kill the chickens, he also took out the eggs he had saved, the bacon he had saved during the New Year, and the few crucian carp and grass carp he had raised in the tank.
Soon, half of the village was filled with a mouth-watering aroma.
More than a dozen children were salivating at the door. Xu Da took dried fruit snacks and distributed them to them. As usual, he won the children's favor very quickly.
Old hens are stewed in soup, young roosters are stir-fried, bacon is stir-fried with dried wild vegetables last autumn, fresh wild vegetables this spring are mixed with cold dishes, crucian carp is braised, grass carp is stewed in old soup, and winter Chinese cabbage is stir-fried with lard.
…
Mrs. Wang Lu racked her brains to put together a table of decent dishes.
Like her husband, she was a conscientious person. She had used up everything in the house, but she still felt embarrassed. She wrung her hands and said, "The situation at home is not good, and I can't even hold a banquet for you. My parents are of no use, Xiaoqi.
You can only rely on yourself."
Wang Qilin gave her forty of the fifty silver baht he had just received and said with a smile, "Mom is very powerful."
When working in Tingtian Prison, one faces monsters and ghosts, the environment is dangerous and the situation is precarious.
Therefore, the imperial court treated them very well, and their salaries were paid in advance. For example, Wang Qilin received two salaries from You Xing and Xiao Yin, totaling seventy silver baht.
