Wang Xian went home and took a nap, having a long sleep in the dark. When he woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day. After waiting for him to get dressed, Shuai Hui said with a smile: "Wei Wuque is here. I have been waiting for you for an hour."
"Oh." Wang Xiancai remembered that Wei Wuque had told him before the provincial examination that he would invite him to go on a blind date, but he didn't expect to come in such a hurry.
When I came out to meet Wei Wuque, I saw that this guy was wearing a lake blue brocade robe with flowing cloud patterns, a precious green jade belt tied around his waist, and his hair was tied up with a jade crown of the same color. He was combed meticulously, making him look like a jade tree in the wind.
Your noble son.
Looking at himself, he is wearing an ordinary robe, looks ordinary, and has a dark complexion... The gift of the desert is not so easy to disappear. Standing next to this guy, he has become a supporting role in the blink of an eye. Wang Xian couldn't help but
With malicious speculation, Wei Queque wanted him to go with him, wasn't it to reflect his handsomeness?
Fortunately, Wei Wuque was very respectful and called him "Sir". Wang Xian felt more balanced. He nodded with a smile and said, "Brother Tiancheng, you can't wait even one day?"
"You are joking, sir." Wei Wuque said sarcastically, "I'm not impatient, but I really can't wait any longer."
"how?"
"Uncle Tang Jiashi posted a message to invite me and him to a banquet tonight. I'm afraid he will make things clear." Wei Wuque said with a bitter smile: "Our idea of meeting Miss Tang Jia in advance has been ruined. If we don't do it tonight,
Go, I'm afraid I won't even have any hope."
"Brother Tiancheng is so unsure?" Wang Xian said with a smile.
"Indeed, the other party is a powerful person," Wei Wucuo nodded and said, "If the other party doesn't like a weak scholar like me, I will have to come and calm down the situation."
"It's easy to talk about." Wang Xian said enthusiastically: "If the other party doesn't recognize me, I will ask the brothers to tie him up and throw him into the West Lake. See if he still has the nerve to fight for his wife from Brother Wei."
"I would like to thank you in advance," Wei Wuque said overjoyed.
Wang Xian explained briefly, and the two of them took a car to the dock. On the way, Wang Xian saw that the servant beside Wei Wuque had changed, and asked with a smile: "Where is the old man?"
"He is old and has been in poor health since returning from Pujiang." Wei Wuque sighed, "That's why my father left him to enjoy the blessings at home and no longer traveled around with me."
"It should be." Wang Xian nodded and stopped asking questions. The two of them changed to a small boat at the dock and headed west for a few miles. They saw in front of them waterways like alleys, river branches like nets, autumn reeds flying in the snow, and fire persimmons reflecting the waves.
Under the reflection of the setting sun, the beauty is breathtaking.
"Xixi." Wang Xian sighed softly and said, "Your future father-in-law is really an elegant man."
"Haha." Wei Wuque said with a smile, "Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to raise such a good girl."
"Yeah." Wang Xian nodded and smiled to himself. You chose this place for the party mainly because the river here is like a net and the reeds are like the sea. You are not afraid of being dumped by the government.
In this picturesque environment with autumn colors like wine, the two of them seemed to have forgotten their intrigues. While admiring the beautiful scenery and chatting casually, the boat unknowingly sailed into the depths of the Xixi River. Suddenly, a gust of autumn wind blew by.
Then I saw the reed flowers flying like autumn snow all over the sky, which made people stunned. When the autumn snow fell, I saw a small bridge crossing the stream in front of me, and not far away a clump of hibiscus hedges and thatched huts, already decorated with lanterns and colorful silks and bamboos.
"We're here." Wei Wuque said hello, and the boat stopped at the edge of the stone bridge. Seeing the wary faces of the servants beside the bridge, he quickly jumped out of the boat and whispered a few words to the group of people.
On the boat, Xu Gongye whispered to Wang Xian: "Sir, the houses here are in harmony with each other. I'm afraid there are no good people inside, so we'd better not go in."
"What are you afraid of?" Wang Xian smiled and said, "This is in the city of Hangzhou. Can they eat me?" Then he patted him and said, "Besides, aren't you here..." Xu Gong still needed to be persuaded.
Wei Wuque had already turned around and had to stop talking.
"Sir," Wei Wuque got on the boat again and apologized softly: "Tang Shibo lives in the mountains and forests and has never wanted to deal with the government, so I only said that you are my good friend and did not reveal your identity."
"That's very good." Wang Xian smiled and nodded.
"Then I dare to call you Brother Zhongde."
"Of course." Wang Xian was easy to talk to, and the two of them got off the boat together. Under the guidance of the Tang family, they came to the yard and saw a couplet hanging on the door:
‘Reed Cone is bounded by fields for several hectares, and there is a stream and a stream of smoke.
"Good." Wang Xian couldn't help but praise: "What a fairy cave."
"Haha, this little friend is so complimentary." An old man wearing a scarf and Taoist robes, dressed as a rich man, appeared at the door with a smile on his face.
Wei Wuque hurriedly saluted deeply and said, "Uncle, my father has something to do and I can't come here. I specially asked my nephew to come and apologize to my uncle." After the ceremony was over, he introduced Wang Xian and said, "Uncle Tang, this is Wang Zhongde, my good friend of the same age. You know
My uncle likes to interact with young talents the most, so my nephew dared to bring him to have a drink with him."
"Sorry to bother you." Wang Xian also bowed his hands and saluted.
"Okay, okay." Uncle Tang nodded and said with a smile, "My place is usually too deserted. I wish it would be more lively if there were more people." Then he let the two of them into the courtyard.
The courtyard was full of flowers and trees, brightly lit, and there were three tables in the middle. The tables were piled with fruits, wine, and vegetables. The tables were already filled with guests, all of whom looked at the two of them with different expressions.
Wang Xian's eyes also swept across the group of guests, and suddenly his eyes focused on a big man wearing a felt hat, pouring himself a drink.
"Is that you, the big guy?" Wang Xian called out in surprise and walked over quickly.
The man pushed up his felt hat, revealing a majestic face. With a helpless smile on his face, he said, "It's not who I am." He was Wang Xian's former cellmate, the big man who once gave him Buddhist beads.
.
"I really didn't expect to see you here." Wang Xian burst into laughter, patted the guest next to the big man and said, "Please make room for me."
The guest thought to himself, "Who are you, asking me to give up my place?" But the big man said: "Didn't you hear what my brother said? Get out of here quickly."
The big man's words worked, so the guest had no choice but to stand up and say, "Give Third Brother Lin some face."
"It's not to give me face, it's to give yourself face." The big man laughed and said, "My brother has a bad temper. If you are kicked out by him, your face will not look good."
"See what you said, I still convince people with reason." Wang Xian sat down with a smile and smiled at the big man: "Did he call you Brother Lin?"
"My surname is Lin, and I am the third eldest child. If a poor family doesn't have a decent name, let's call it Lin San." The big man nodded with a smile and said, "It makes my brother laugh."
"What the hell, this name couldn't be better." Wang Xian said with a smile; "Brother Lin is my idol." He picked up the wine bowl on the table and smiled at the big man: "Brother Lin respects Third Brother."
The big man felt that he was talking about someone else, but he was the only one who called Lin San at the scene, so he had to talk to him in confusion: "Brothers Jing Wang." The two of them drank and laughed as if no one else was around, and everyone else was stunned.
Stunned.
It wasn't until the member of the Tang Dynasty stood up with a bowl of wine in hand that the two of them stopped talking and listened to him smiling and saying: "Today all my friends are here, and the humble house is full of glory. Come, I'll give you a drink."
"Respect the old man." Everyone picked up their big wine bowls and responded with all kinds of tongues. Their accents sounded like they were all from the north. Including the big man Lin San, he also spoke a Shandong dialect similar to Xu Huaiqing's.
Wang Xian glanced at Wei Wuque strangely. This guy was from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Why did he get mixed up with these Yankees?
However, Wei Wuque gently shook his folding fan, with a calm expression on his face, showing no trace of the anxiety he had when he arrived.
"Anyway, let's get drunk tonight and then rest." Tang Yuanwai picked up another bowl of wine and said, "If you have anything to do, let's talk about it tomorrow."
People in the north are outspoken, so someone asked Mr. Tang: "What are you worried about, Mr. Tang? You have become the father-in-law, and you are still worried about having no one to drink with you? Let me start by saying something pleasant. There are all the proposers here. What will happen to your daughter?"
Which family do you promise to give it to?"
"Yeah, tell me so you can have a good drink." Everyone agreed: "Don't worry, we all have status and we won't fall out casually."
"Haha" Tang Yuanwai secretly cursed in his heart, a bunch of idiots, didn't you see any outsiders here? He forced out a smile and said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."
"No, I can wait. Brother, I can't wait. I have to go back to Shanxi as soon as possible." A scarred man with a Shanxi accent said rather arrogantly: "You said before that you would wait for the right one, but now the right one is here.
What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for a matchmaker?"
Hearing this, Wang Xian looked at Wei Wuque with an evil look. This is not the same thing as this guy. Didn't you say that you two were the only ones asking for marriage? Why are you looking at seven or eight families? And why do you look like this?
Not yet one of the competitors, but one of the most popular?
Wei Wuque didn't notice anything at all. He just waved his fan and watched the show without any intention of arguing.
The member of the Tang Dynasty was forced to do nothing, so he had no choice but to agree: "Well, let's ask nephew Han Shi to be a witness. Today I will betroth my daughter to the family here."
Being called the forbidden nephew, the corner of Wei Wuque's mouth twitched, and then his expression remained normal and he said with a smile: "That is my honor, but I have a merciless request..."
"My dear nephew, please speak." Tang Yuanwai nodded, wishing to kick this kid to death. If your father doesn't come, you can do it yourself. Why bring an outsider here to make me so passive?
"I've heard for a long time that the girls from the Tang family are beautiful and fragrant, and they are also good at singing and playing the piano. I wonder if my nephew is lucky enough to be able to listen to the sounds of nature?" Wei Wuque smiled faintly and said to everyone: "Which family will the Miss Tang family become in a while?
My daughter-in-law, we can’t be more rude, why don’t we ask her to play and sing a song for us now, it will be considered a worthwhile trip for those who are not selected.”
After hearing this, everyone nodded and said, "Not bad."
"Not bad, what's not bad..." Tang Yuanwai secretly cursed, "Which song does your surname Han sing?"
