Xinghua Restaurant is the largest restaurant in Qinghe County, and its owner is Yao Sanyuan, one of Wang Lin's neighbors. He is also the initiator of today's banquet to celebrate the tiger fighting heroes.
There were more than ten people who came to the scene after collecting money, including Wu Da who sold cooking cakes, Zhang Neng who ran a paper horse shop, Xue Po who went around the streets as a matchmaker, and Hu Si, the owner of the carriage and horse shop.
They are all neighbors living on the same street.
Although we didn't interact much at first, it didn't stop everyone from joining us enthusiastically tonight.
Wang Lin greeted the neighbors one by one with a humble and gentle attitude, and there was never the slightest bit of evil in him.
If they hadn't seen him come back with a big colorful insect on his back, no one would have believed that the young man in front of them was actually a powerful and invincible hero.
Arriving in front of Wuhan University, Wang Lin bowed down and said, "Wang Lin has met Brother Wu. Thanks to Brother Wu for being generous and helping my younger brother deliver a letter to Yuncheng County, I was lucky enough to escape from an unjust prison!"
Wu Da smiled with a smile on his face and hurriedly avoided it: "Brother Lin, no, I can't bear such a great gift from Mr. Xiaolang! I didn't do anything, I just ran some errands!"
"Brother Wu, I will keep this kindness in mind and try to repay it later!" Wang Lin gave another salute.
Yao Sanyuan laughed and interjected: "We are all neighbors. Isn't it normal to help each other? Everyone, the tiger-fighting hero is right in front of you. Today's banquet belongs to Yao. Let's eat and drink as much as we can. We won't come back until we get drunk!
"
Zhang Neng also clasped his fists and smiled: "That's it. Who would have thought that Qinghe County would produce such an earth-shattering hero as Wang Lin Xiaolangjun? Our neighbors are so honored!"
Hu Si raised his glass and invited him to drink: "I never thought that I would be able to eat tiger meat in my life! I will wake up laughing in my dreams... Dear neighbors, come, come, let's toast the tiger-fighting hero with a glass of wine!"
Granny Xue, who is in her forties, also came to join in the fun: "I'm not very good at drinking, but I'm good at matchmaking! From now on, I will be responsible for the life-long affairs of the tiger-fighting hero!"
Everyone laughed and said yes, Wang Lin smiled and said in return: "Thank you Po Xue, but Wang Lin already has a golden lotus beside him, so I won't bother you."
Granny Xue's head shook: "What are you talking about? A good man with a good reputation doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Even this Hu Si married three concubines. What's more, you, a tiger-fighting hero with both civil and military skills, are second to none in the county.
The handsome young man!"
"That's right, that's right! It doesn't matter if my dear brother Wang Lin marries several beautiful wives and concubines!"
Yao Sanyuan held up the wine cup and said: "If it weren't for the emergence of a tiger-fighting hero, this big insect would have killed countless villagers. Dear neighbors, let's toast the little man again!"
Everyone came forward to propose a toast, but Wang Lin could not refuse, so he had to raise his glass to join the toast.
After too much drinking, Yao Sanyuan and others were already drunk. Their flattering words were even more bottomless and the hospitality was hard to refuse. Wang Lin had no choice but to bite the bullet and give in.
That Xue Po also had a few glasses of wine, and she came over to grab him under the influence of her drunkenness and said: "Little man, I have a beautiful young lady on my hand. The one on the other hand is pretty and pretty. She is only 15 years old. How many years ago?"
She was living in our Qinghe County a few months ago. If you are interested, I will give her to you!"
Wang Lin: "I understand Granny Xue's wishes. There is a golden lotus in Xiaosheng's home, so I won't think about it for the time being."
Xue Po laughed: "I know that Miss Jinlian has a fairy-like appearance, and she is very affectionate with the young man. It is normal that the young man cannot tolerate other women in his eyes. However, with the current status of the young man, if the family
You don’t even have a servant girl, you don’t want me to suffer?”
Wang Lin changed his mind and thought that it was true. He really lacked a servant girl at home, otherwise Jin Lian would have to do many things by himself.
Before he could make up his mind, he heard Granny Xue say again: "This little girl's name is Pang Chunmei. She was originally from a wealthy family. She was from Cangzhou, Hebei Province. Unfortunately, her mother died when she was only one year old and her father died when she was three years old. Come to Shandong to live with your family. She
That aunt can't tolerate her..."
Pang Chunmei?
Wang Lin raised his head sharply and glanced at Po Xue, who was chattering away endlessly, with a strange look on his face.
He thought to himself that it was a conspiracy, and yet another girl from the Golden Vase and Plum Blossoms appeared. Her origins seemed to be true, and it seemed that there was an unavoidable fate between the family and Ximen Qing.
First intercept Wuhan University, then Ximen? Which big boss will be intercepted later?
A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said to Po Xue: "How much money does this little girl estimate? If it is suitable, I will buy it and make it a servant girl for Jin Lian!"
Seeing that today's sales pitch has finally come to fruition, Mrs. Xue was delighted when she heard this. She smiled and said tentatively: "I don't dare to ask for more from a talent like Xiao Langjun. Sixteen taels of silver will do!"
In fact, the owner, Pang Chunmei's uncle and aunt, only sold it for 10 taels of silver.
Only Granny Xue was very discerning. Today she heard that the county government and some big households in the county had given Wang Lin a lot of money and valuables. The gifts in the courtyard of the Wang family were piled up, so she had the courage to increase the price by 6 taels.
It's so dark.
She was ready to bargain, but unexpectedly Wang Lin waved his hand casually, "It's settled, Granny Xue will bring the person and the deed of sale to my house later, and we will deliver the goods in person!"
Wang Lin didn't know what was going on here. Instead, he felt that buying a person for 16 taels of silver was too cheap. It was really an evil old society.
Po Xue beamed with joy, and her flattery became even more open. She said that a matchmaker like her only relied on her words to make a living. She could talk the living to death and the dead to life, regardless of whether it was disgusting or not, whether it was appropriate or not.
, Wang Lin's scalp exploded when he heard it, and he quickly ran away.
…
Pan Jinlian heard that Linlang spent 16 taels of silver to buy a servant girl, which was not too expensive at first. She sold it to Zhang Da's family for only 10 taels of silver. Seeing the 15-year-old Pang Chunmei standing in front of her, she felt that it was worth it.
.
This girl had almond-shaped eyes and rosy cheeks, a thin figure, similar to her in height, low eyebrows and eyes, and a well-behaved personality. Pan Jinlian walked around her and was very satisfied, so she took Pang Chunmei's hand and asked her questions.
Wang Lin did not bother the two girls and secretly went to the kitchen to eat.
He was really ashamed. He had just come back from the wine table, and he was hungry again not even half an hour later. If he continued like this, he would become a loser.
He swept away a large plate of tiger meat in sauce and felt that his energy and blood were more vigorous. Only then did he leave the kitchen with satisfaction. He stood in the patio and looked up at the moon, sorting out his messy and complicated emotions.
The beginning is in prison, and then the fight against tigers on Jingyanggang is very fast. There are many things that I haven't had time to think about carefully. Since the time travel is irreversible, I really need to think clearly about the future path.
In Shandong, April nights are still a bit cold.
Pan Jinlian walked out of the house holding a cloak and put it on him, saying softly: "Lin Lang, go back to the house, don't get cold."
Wang Lin laughed and simply put aside all the mess in his mind. At this point in his life, he should be happy in the moment. As for what the future will be like...just assess the situation and follow the trend. Why bother looking forward and backward.
So he turned around and picked up the little girl, and kissed her on her smooth forehead. The little girl was so ashamed that she buried her head on his chest and let him carry her into the bedroom.
The red candles in the house were extinguished, and the waves surged, one after another endlessly.
And this long spring night seems to have just begun. The new and gentle girl Pang Chunmei, who is still new to the house, can't eat, sleep or sleep next door, so she has to sneak out of the house with a red face and sneak into the woodshed.
