After Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian started talking, and Pan Jinlian vowed not to suspect Ximen Qing again, Wu Dalang felt as if a big thorn in his heart had been removed. He lay down and had a good sleep.
He was not worried, but Pan Jinlian tossed and turned that night, but how could she sleep peacefully?
When I got up early the next morning, I made the cakes for today's auction. Since I had made an appointment three days ago with Ximen Qing to have a drink at the Lion Tower, Wu Dalang tidied up and turned around and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go to the Lion Tower to prepare.
Everything is gone."
Pan Jinlian said: "Don't be greedy and come back early."
Wu Dalang nodded and went out, but his heart felt warm. Although Pan Jinlian's words were the same as usual, Wu Dalang could feel a warmth that he had never felt before.
After entering the Lion House, the shopkeeper and bartenders were all attentive and flattering. All kinds of fine wines, specialty dishes, and fresh fruits were all prepared for Wu Dalang. Wu Dalang saw that everything was ready and only needed the east wind, so he went to Ximen Mansion in person.
Ximen Qing was invited to a banquet, and Ximen Qing came happily. The two of them drank wine and talked together at the head of the Lion Tower.
While chatting, Wu Dalang unknowingly brought the topic to his brother Wu Song, and finally said: "My brother's talent is ten thousand times better than mine! With a pair of fists spread out, a hundred or ten people will not be able to get close to him. If one day he
When I return to Qinghe, I will take him to my house to meet him. If Brother Ximen is of any use to him, please feel free to give me your orders!"
Ximen Qing secretly rejoiced after hearing this, and said with emotion: "Brothers of martial arts brother are naturally my Ximen Qing's brothers! If you don't give orders, it hurts your feelings. Between brothers, there are blessings, hardships and talents.
That’s right!”
The two of them were talking about speculation, so Ximen Qing wanted to take Wu Dalang to see the site of the "Qinghe First Building". Wu Dalang readily agreed, settled the meal, and headed to the county government street together. The people he met along the way
When they saw the two Star Lords approaching side by side, they all crossed their hands and bowed to each other with smiles on their faces.
Wu Dalang was full of emotions in his heart: "If Brother Ximen had not surrendered to me, how could I be where I am today? Although we were destined in our previous lives, in this life, those surnamed Wu must not forget Brother Ximen's great kindness!"
When I arrived at the county government street, I saw that on a large piece of land, there were people moving bricks and tiles, demolishing a house facing the street. It turned out that Ximen Qing had met the seller the day before yesterday, and in addition to the price of 800 yuan, he also added
After getting two hundred guan, they also bought the heavy appliances at home. The Shang family brothers got an extra 200 guan and committed suicide. How could they not want to? So they paid the money to transfer the house deed the day before yesterday, and yesterday the Shang family
After the whole gang left, Bi Si arranged for wages, meals, and food. On the same day, he hired people from Muhang and demolished the house.
Seeing Ximen Qing and Wu Dalang coming, Ben Si hurriedly came forward to see them, saying that they needed to clear out this piece of foundation before the weather got cold, so that when the flowers bloom in spring next year and the ground thaws, they can start building the building. The Shang brothers
The wood and stone of this house should be considered to be above average. The useful beams and purlins were kept, and the useless ones were sold by the people from the wooden shop, which were finally converted into wages. Ximen Qing nodded in agreement.
Wu Dalang looked at the busy construction site in front of him, imagining the spectacular scene of high-rise buildings rising from the ground next year, as well as the scenery of his high-rise building with commanding officers. For a moment, his heart was surging, and there seemed to be a "Double Star Master in the Sky, Qinghe Di" in front of him.
The wine flag "First Floor" was already swaying back and forth in the wind.
"As long as we grassroots work hard and don't blame others, we will have spring when we encounter opportunities!" Wu Dalang thought silently.
After saying goodbye to Ximen Qing, Wu Dalang returned home, only to see that Pan Jinlian had removed all her hairpins, rings, pearls and jade, and was only dressing up at home, cutting something at the table. Wu Dalang was puzzled, so he asked cautiously: "Sister-in-law,
What are you...?"
Pan Jinlian seemed to be biting the thread in her mouth and was too busy to look back. She just said in a vague voice: "My family is sewing a thicker set of travel clothes for you. It's getting cold, so you must remember to add more clothes gradually."
!”
Wu Dalang felt warm in his heart, but his eyes were sour. He just nodded and said: "Just right! In three days, Zhou Xiuzhou will go to Ximen Xianxiong's house to marry a concubine and raise someone, so I put on this new suit to congratulate and let him go.
Those high-ranking officials in Qinghe County should see my wife's fairy-like tailoring skills!"
Pan Jinlian finally turned around and smiled at him, and both of them felt warm.
Three days later, it was an auspicious day for marriage. Both the Ximen Mansion and the Defense Mansion were decorated with lights and decorations, and the firecrackers rang like bells, causing a group of children to cover their ears and just surround the firecracker racks.
In front of us, we cheered and made a scene.
Logically speaking, Zhou Xiu was married by the male bride, and Ximen Qing was married by the female bride. Not to mention marrying a concubine, she shouldn't have been so fussy about it. But Mrs. Zhou Xiu was an enthusiastic person. Ever since Taoist Wu divined a fortune,
After getting lucky, she began to make plans day by day. She was looking forward to Chunmei's arrival even more eagerly than Zhou Xiu. She had completely pinned her hopes for the prosperity of the Zhou family on Chunmei.
Besides, although Ximen Qing is white, he is the newly minted star master in Qinghe County. He is a god, and he is an equal to the stars in the sky.
Chunmei of the family was brought up in a small sedan chair, but how could the official Ximen lose face? Therefore, with Mrs. Zhou's push, Zhou Xiu's joy to see the result, and the onlookers' joyful acceptance, the Zhou family got married.
Although the etiquette cannot be said to be transgressive, it is only one step away from marrying a real wife.
Ximen Qing didn't think so much. He just wanted to arrange a good home for Chunmei. As long as her husband's family treated each other sincerely, it didn't matter whether the wedding was grand or not. Didn't you see that there were so many "naked weddings" in the previous life?
The "shabby" couple who hold hands and silently support each other all the way may have a higher chance of growing old together than those rich and powerful people who drive luxury cars and show off their wealth.
Of course, thinking this way, Ximen Qing is still very satisfied with Zhou Xiu's family for making the ceremony so grand. This shows that the Zhou family has accepted Chunmei, and she will not endure hardship after marrying her. Maybe the Zhou family's rear wife is a housewife.
There may be a lot of right and wrong, and there may be some intrigues in the future, but Chunmei is not an easy girl. Her eyes are as sharp as her mouth, and she has a lot of scheming. She has an arrogant temperament.
She doesn't bother to provoke others, but if others dare to provoke her blindly...hey, go and wish for good luck!
However, since the Zhou family is sincere, the Ximen family cannot make do with simplicity. When Ximen Qing gave the order, everyone in the family mobilized. The scale was not like marrying off a maid, but more like marrying off a daughter or a sister.
Chunmei saw everything and kept it in her heart. She was about to leave the court today. She dressed up early in the morning and came to Yueniang's room to kowtow and say goodbye. But as soon as she spoke, she choked up and finally hugged Yue. My mother's legs were crying loudly, and all the rouge and gouache were in vain.
This made Yueniang sad, and she shed a few tears. The two women hugged each other and whispered. It seemed that they would not be able to get on the sedan for a while.
Zhou Xiu, the groom's official, was heartless. The bride did not get into the sedan chair. He was not in a hurry. He just took Ximen Qing, Wu Dalang, Li Zhixian, and He Tixing to drink wine from large bottles in the hall. After drinking happily, I saw Lai Jue at the door of Ximen Mansion rolling in. Before he could stand up, he kept shouting: "Master, it's not good..." This is exactly:
The Zhou family had just got married, who came to seek quarrel again? But I don’t know what happened outside the house. I’ll tell you about it next time.
