240. The disappearance of Wang Shenxian
When Censor Sun came back, he praised the scenery of Bishui County, academies, etc. Of course, he did not lose the mountain delicacies of Bishui County.
However, Censor Sun is indeed a very good at eating.
In the evening, when He Zijin was making glutinous rice lotus roots, Sun Jingshi looked around and said, "This lotus root is the tenderest lotus root shoots in spring and summer, which is best to mix cold. This glutinous rice candy lotus root is steamed, so it is better to use older lotus roots."
He Zijin agreed and said, "Uncle Sun, you are also an expert."
Censor Sun laughed, "I've been awarded too much."
He Zijin asked, "Uncle Sun, do you eat midnight snacks at night?"
"If you don't eat, I have to maintain my figure." Censor Sun was very determined.
Thinking of the bitter love history of Censor Sun, He Zijin encouraged him, "Don't worry, those who have ambition will succeed." He is quite sure of Censor Sun's statement that Censor Sun maintains his figure, "I also hate whether men can get a 10-month-old belly, which makes them stupid."
A Nian was wondering whether she wanted to refuse midnight snacks or something. Sister Zijin said, "There is lotus root. A Nian, chop some pork to make dumplings at night."
When he heard that he wanted to eat meat dumplings with lotus vegetables, A Nian immediately changed his mind and thought that he would rather grow up first and then keep his figure. When he was growing, he would never get fat no matter how much he ate it. A Nian said, "Okay. I'll chop the stuffing for my sister."
Madam Zhou smiled and said, "Where is me, why don't you use me to work? Let me go to school." Especially A Nian is not only a scholar-in-law who has fame, but also is the son-in-law at home. How can you call the son-in-law to cook?
He Zijin put the glutinous rice lotus into the soup in the casserole, and asked the meatballs to pay attention to Huohou, so he went out to talk to A Nian and Sun Jingshi. When talking about the style of Furong Mountain, the neatness of the academy and the character of Huo Shan, he praised him and finally said, "Big niece, your Taoist master is quite strange. I also want to go to the Taoist temple to visit, I don't want others not to wait for outsiders."
"What's so strange about this? Are there all the masters and hermits like this?" He Zijin said, "I don't have a weird temper and I don't know how to call myself a master." I was so happy that I heard it.
Everyone was talking in He's house. The grand man, Sun Jingshi, also listened to the room of women whispering in shame. He Zijin announced a big news, "Now I will no longer accept the business of divination for others. Those who have rank in the back will be almost the same by July next year."
When Mrs. He heard this, she was a little anxious and said, "Why don't you accept it? Isn't it a good calculation?" This is all money!
He Zijin said, "Last night I watched the astrological signs, and the secret I could get was until next year. Everything is destined, and it is not good to force the rebellion."
"Nothing nonsense, why didn't I see any secrets?"
"Your presbyopia can only see two stars in the sky."
Censor Sun almost laughed out loud. Old Madam He didn't care about him at this moment, and she felt the pain in her heart. She asked He Zijin, "Did Tianji tell you when will the surname Zhao be unlucky?"
He Zijin made a fuss, "It's right in front of him."
Old Madam He suspiciously said, "I can't talk nonsense, why didn't I see his family unlucky?"
He Zijin smiled and showed two pointed tiger teeth, "You always know that you should be a great immortal."
Old Lady He glanced at the girl's movie and murmured, "I'm talking nonsense." to show disdain.
The glutinous rice lotus roots were ready in the evening, and He Zijin ordered the meatballs. Sixi sent a piece to the third girl, not to mention it. It was dark in winter, and the meatballs were girls after all, so it was not good to walk when it was dark.
He Zijin is good at cooking with lotus roots. He made another fried lotus root box the next morning. A Lie creaked and bit the lotus root box while saying, "It's a pity that it's delicious to be fried, and it's not cheap to bring it to school." At noon, the food they brought in the school canteen would help heat it in the steamer. Therefore, dishes like fried lotus root boxes and fried croquettes are not easy to bring to school, because the steamed dishes on the steamer will soften and collapse, which is not delicious.
He Zijin said, "I want to eat and make it tomorrow, it's not a problem."
"All fried dishes are not hot for the second time. Not only does it lose the original flavor when steamed on the steamer, but even if you fry them in the oil, you will feel overheated." Jiang Ren sighed, "Sister Zijin, your skills are really amazing. Last time I went to the state capital to purchase goods, I ate the fried lotus box in the state capital restaurant. I felt that it was not as delicious as you did."
Jiang Ren praised He Zijin very much. From He Zijin's craftsmanship to He Zijin's character, and from He Zijin's character to He Zijin's ability, he really praised He Zijin like a god from heaven descending to earth. Jiang Ren was originally a business man. This praises people, and it was so scattered and talked endlessly, and A Lie said straight, "Oh, if I didn't know that Brother A Ren was talking about my sister, I thought Brother A Ren was talking about the Bodhisattva in the temple." It made everyone laugh.
He Zijin looked at Jiang Ren suspiciously, "Don't you want me to get a salary?"
Jiang Ren immediately raised his eyebrows and stared, "This is not to look down on you, Brother Ah Ren! What I said is completely sincere from my heart!"
Censor Sun smiled and glanced at Jiang Ren, and Jiang Ren smiled, "Actually, I'm thinking that this time A Lie and the others will take a break, I'll take two days off and want to go home."
He Zijin responded quickly, "Isn't it going back to go on a blind date?"
As soon as she said this, everyone in the He family felt it was right. He said, "Well, Aren is also a big man. You are the only son in the family, so it is time to get married. It is a big deal to pass on the family line."
Shen also said, "Your mother often says to you, hoping that you will get married as soon as possible." Changshui Village is Shen's family, so Shen is naturally very familiar with her family. She asked Jiang Ren, "Which daughter is it?"
A Lie also joined in the fun and asked, "Brother A Ren, when will you have a wedding banquet?"
Brother Jun didn't know if he understood it, so he danced and shouted in a slight voice, "Daughter-in-law! Daughter-in-law!"
Jiang Ren has always been thick-skinned, and now he couldn't help but blush on his face. He hurriedly said, "No, it's not a blind date, but Sister Zhang said that there is a small courtyard near her house. Although it is not big, it is also a second-hand yard. It's not long. Because the family is left with women, I want to buy a marriage to Furong County, so I want to sell the courtyard. I went over and took a look. The yard was not big, and there were more than ten rooms in the main room, with blue bricks and black tiles, which were quite new. It costs 45 taels. I still have 38 taels. I gave the silver and signed the contract. Brother Xiao Zhang made a guarantee. I thought that when I went home, I would bring the silver, and the other was to ask my father and mother to recognize the door."
Mrs. He praised, "Aren is a promising! The house has been settled!" Although she didn't know anything else, she was very enlightened, and said to Shen, "The house has been settled quietly, and I think my wife is always together."
Shen agreed and laughed, "Aren is diligent in his work and has a promising future. Now he has a house and his family has land. What kind of girl do you like? Just tell me that there are many good girls in the county."
Jiang Ren drank all the milk in the bowl in a few sips, put the bowl, and his face turned red, "I, that, I, I, that, I will go to the shop first!" After that, he ran away.
Everyone burst into laughter.
He Zijin smiled and said, "I guess Brother Aren also forgot about lunch. Alie, you can bring it to Brother Aren."
After A Lie took two lunch boxes to find the Feng family next door to go to school together.
After only a few days when Sun Jingshi came to He's family, he felt that the family was happy and lively every day. In addition, there was food supply, Sun Jingshi planned to live for more days. He was just strolling around the county, looking around, and buying things from time to time. Now Sun Jingshi doesn't want A Nian to be a guest. After all, A Nian is young and wants to study for next autumn examination. Sun Jingshi borrowed Hu Wen from Hu's family to enjoy the scenery and visit the county magistrate. Looking at the personalities of a county, you can basically know what kind of ways the local parents are.
A Nian simply studied at home, or talked about Jiang Ren’s gossip with sister Zijin, “I don’t know which fairy A Ren is better than that. That day I took Uncle Sun to the academy, and A Ren was muttering to the inner room with someone. As soon as I entered the door, A Ren immediately came out of the inner room and took me out of the shop, with tears on her clothes.”
Sister Zijin touched her chin and analyzed, "Brother Aren will not cheat others, right?"
"Good Aren is so smart. He is the only one who deceives people, no one who deceives him." A Nian said with a reasonable and well-founded manner, "On weekdays, Brother Aren always manages business in the shop. Even at night, we live in the compartment, and he never stays at night. I thought, he must be a serious girl, otherwise it would not be worth buying a house. In fact, Brother Aren likes bigger houses, like our Sanjin House, he must be in a hurry to settle the matter. If there is no suitable house, he will buy a small one first." Otherwise, the Jiang family also has hundreds of acres of land. Moreover, since Jiang Ren came to the county to manage He Zijin's shop, the Jiang family's land has increased to 200 acres. His family is the richest man in Changshui Village, so it is definitely no problem to build a Sanjin House in the county.
He Zijin said, "That's true, I just don't know who Aren Ge is looking at."
Jiang Ren liked someone who was the one who was a celestial immortal. When he arrived at the academy, Jiang Ren booked a carriage one day in advance. He got up early and didn’t even eat breakfast. He brought two hot buns, took another gourd water and took a carriage home. The next day, Jiang’s uncle, Wang and his wife came.
The family of three first went to see the house bought by Jiang Ren, paid the remaining money to the family, and officially passed the contract in the yamen. In the past few years in Bishui County, he was a businessman, so he had many acquaintances in Bishui County's yamen and gave a corner of silver to the clerk. The clerk sent him a team and completed all the time in half a cup of tea.
When Wang arrived at He's family, he said that his son was full of pride. "This kid became more and more courageous. He didn't even tell his family about building a house. When he got home, he said that he had built a house in the county, which shocked me and didn't sleep well all night. For such a big thing, just make the decision. If it weren't for the house, he had to give him a proper family law."
He Zijin smiled, "Look at what the aunt said, Brother Aren has earned in recent years, it is enough to buy another house like this. You don't have to worry about everything, just buy the house. What else should the aunt complain about? You should be happy."
Wang smiled and said, "Happy, happy." He turned to the conversation, "I heard that the big girl's wedding is approaching, and I haven't congratulated her yet."
He Zijin smiled, "If the aunt is free, there will be a lively scene in the air."
Wang asked, "I will come in the morning and evening."
Shen laughed, "November 22."
Everyone talked about He Zijin's marriage, and Wang was worried about his son's marriage. He said, "That day, I said, Aren's child is promising and has built a house in the county. Your family also has hundreds of acres of land. Why not talk about a good marriage in the county nearby? I think Aren's child will have a great future, so it depends on which daughter is lucky to marry."
Since his son went to the county to make money, Wang has always been proud of this son. Now his son has built a house in the county again. Even from Wang's original intention, he also feels that the local girls in the family are not worthy of his son. But... Wang said, "Oh, we are not outsiders, I don't hide it from my aunt. The whole world's mother's heart is always looking forward to my son's marriage. At home, I told the boy more than ten marriages, but he was just unhappy. You said that I was angry, and I often said that this is not a son. It is clearly my enemy in my previous life. I only worry about it. But what? In our village, three
When I heard that my boy wanted to say kinship, the matchmaker was unwilling to accept it. Aunt, my sister was not an outsider, and you saw more worlds than me. If you saw a good girl, I felt that Aren was worthy of her, just tell me that I would not pick anything. Now, as long as that boy is willing, I would be willing." Although this marriage is about the fate of parents and the words of the matchmaker, it is not easy to ask the child what he meant, especially her family. The matchmakers said that the couple didn't come to the door. You said that Wang was worried. Wang felt that the white hair on his head was worried for his son.
Old Madam He felt a touch in her heart, and she really wanted to be a matchmaker. She laughed, "Since she said that, I'll pay attention to Aren."
Wang chanted the Buddha's name directly, "As long as this kid is willing to get married, my aunt will be my benefactor."
Jiang Ren set up a house as a great joy. Jiang Dawei and Wang were both happy in their hearts. Especially when they saw that there was a censor living in the He family, they were both surprised and happy. The country people were most afraid of seeing officials. Although Sun Jingshi was very handsome and kind, the Jiang family was still trembling and left the mountain objects for the He family, and they took a car back to their hometown that day.
Although he was afraid of seeing officials, Jiang was still proud of himself and went home and said to his parents-in-law, "Aren's father was not too slight when he saw Master Guan'er, and he still relied on Aren to smooth things over the years. This child has indeed opened his eyes and gained knowledge in the past few years in the county, and he is also stable and generous." Such a promising career is indeed not a country girl who can match him.
Mrs. Jiang listened with a smile, put down the peanuts that were being peeled and asked, "How is the house?"
Uncle Jiang said, "It's a good house. It's introduced by Zhigen and Zhidi. The yard is also paved with green bricks and black tiles. It's very neat. I have lived there for more than ten years. It looks new. The beam inside is made of red pine, and there are several furniture owners who haven't moved away and left behind. I think it's an elm, but it's also an old elm. When the weather gets warm, I will take my parents over to live there for a few days."
Mr. Jiang said, "This is not urgent. When it comes to furniture, our family also needs a few pieces of good wood. Should we put a few new pieces of Aren's house?"
Mrs. Wang poured a few bowls of hot tea and said, "Dad, I think Aren is old enough to say that he is a kiss. Will the new wife come here in the future?"
Mrs. Jiang was very concerned about her grandson's marriage and asked quickly, "Is this a good idea?"
"I have asked my parents-in-law. I thought that our good daughters around us have told the boy all about it, and none of them are happy. I wonder if the marriage is not in our family, but in the county. My parents-in-law is kind-hearted and said that our Aren has a house and land, and he is diligent and capable, and that it is not difficult to have a marriage in the county." Wang took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and said, "There is also the sister of the Shen family who looks at it. I think he will try his luck. Anyway, the child is not big. If the county cannot marry him, then he will talk at home, and some people will be there."
Mrs. Jiang said, "This is also true. Everyone has their great-grandson in their arms, and they just make me anxious."
Wang suddenly thought of something and quickly put down the tea bowl and said, "I heard that Zijin's hexagram is very powerful. I have been there for a long time, but why did I forget to ask Zijin to give us Arenbu a hexagram to see when Aren will get married."
Uncle Jiang said, "You can do it. Zi Jin has ten taels of silver for one hexagram, and only three hexagrams per month. Where can I get time to dig you these trivial matters?"
Wang didn't know this gossip, and was shocked. "I'm going to do it, Zijin's hexagram is made of gold." Middle-aged and elderly women were all weird in their minds. Wang sighed, "If I had known this, I wouldn't have asked Aren to learn business, so it would be better for Zijin to learn divination."
Uncle Jiang believed that his wife had a hysterical attack and ignored this.
The Jiang family talked about Jiang Ren’s marriage at home, and A Nianze said to Jiang Ren at home, "Seeing that the uncle and aunt are so anxious, just tell me which one you are better with. Don’t tell them to be worried about it all the time."
Jiang Ren rubbed his hands and said, "No rush to that matter. Let me tell you one thing. The Zhao family has brought Wang Shenxian from Furong County to Xuanshui Temple. In the future, don't ask Sister Zijin to divine again."
A Nian was stunned and asked, "When was this?"
Jiang Ren said, "It was said that Zhao Er took a young man to find Wang Shenxian to divine divination five days ago. After the divination, Wang Shenxian disappeared the next day. Some people said that someone saw Zhao Er's carriage leaving Furong County that day. I was the letter I got after I got it this afternoon, and I was about to tell you. In the past, I only heard that the Zhao family bought a little girl, why did he even steal this old Taoist? The King Shenxian of Xuanshui Temple is in his sixties and seventies."
A Nian said, "There is no one, the Taoist temple has not reported to the officials and found someone?"
"Wang Shenxian left a piece of words, written by..." Jiang Ren couldn't remember for a moment, so he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and looked at the candle, and said, "Oh, yes, this one I wrote: The Dao originally has no self, and no self is not me. If you leave a book today, you don't have to look for me again."
When A Nian heard this soy sauce poem, she twitched her lips again and again. She thought that this level of talent dared to call herself a god, and she was so great that she could not even be strange. His sister Zi Jin called her little fairy, and she was extremely humble.
Seeing that A Nian was just staring at the paper, Jiang Ren hurriedly put it away and said, "I think the Zhao family is crazy. Do you think Zhao Er is bringing a young man? Will it be Li Yanei who brought him?"
A Nian said, "I'm just wondering why they stole an old man."
What to do if you steal an old man?
A Nian couldn't think of it for a moment and said, "Uncle Sun is very knowledgeable, let's ask Uncle Sun to go."
