Three and a half women in four courtyards

Chapter 49

Thinking about what Xiehaohao said, there was some truth in it, so he said, "Oh, sometimes, we really can't care about young people's affairs. As the old saying goes, everyone has his own destiny, and wealth depends on God!"

"Oh, yes! Alas! My brother, we do not speak dark words, and we do not go around the corner! I know, if there is no such township protection team, your eldest daughter will not have her eyes smashed, and she suffered so much. Big crime, almost blinded his eyes. Although the thing about smashing the eyes was not done by stuttering, everyone is like a mirror in their hearts. He was also forced to come here by his wife. I know, I have no face to say that. But, he is my brother-in-law after all, and he has been with me for so many years, and he didn't even ask for his wife. I really owe him."

Xi Niehao slapped his thigh and said, "Oh—don't make things difficult for you. It would be the best if you can send a message to Chief Cao Shangfei, seeing that the harvest is coming, and let him come back. If it is really a violation of military regulations, Then let's see if we can change him to a safer job, such as being a gang leader or something, just don't go to the front to fight. We all know that the gun has eyes, and it will kill you if you go to fight !"

Speaking of this, the Fourth Emperor also hesitated.

Thinking of my daughter's eyes, I feel awkward.

But he couldn't stand the soft knife, so he said, "Oh, well, for me, talking doesn't seem to work. How can we ordinary people get involved in other people's military affairs, but..."

"Ang! Whether it works or not, I won't give you a guarantee! Just bring a word." Xiebahao leaned forward and said.

"Then, let's do this. I'll write a letter to Cao Shangfei. Whether it works or not depends on his luck!"

"Ang, that's good, good!" Xie Howao blushed with excitement, and the tuft of hair on the mole trembled, "Ang, then thank you brother! Thank you brother!"

From the Four Emperors, in front of Xie Howling, wrote a letter.

Dry it, fold it, hand it to him, and say: "Ang, when you go back later, give it to the soldier at the door, and let him transfer it to the grass."

"Ah-ah! That's great, that's great!" Xiebaihao's face seemed to be blooming, and he didn't know what to say, "Oh, my brother, you are really a good person, a good person!"

At this time, someone knocked on the door, Bao Yixian handed the child to Gong Leshi, and went to open the door.

It was Hou Mingli and his wife who came in, carrying snacks and a basket of eggs.

Mrs. Hou Zhang said first: "Ang, come to move to the nest (it is customary for people who have confinement to live in their mother's house for a period of time)! My sister-in-law is very prosperous, and her face is even more handsome! There is no one in your mother's house. From now on From now on, you can stay at my house for a while."

"Ang, aren't you busy building a house? I don't shy away from it, so don't bother you! So busy, why do you still think about me!" Bao Yixian hurriedly took the egg and carried it for Mrs. Hou Zhang.

"Ang, there is always work at our house, there is always work to be done! It can't be done in a day and a half, and a day's delay is nothing." Hou Mingli said.

In the small living room in the front room, Hou Mingli and his wife met Xiaihou and his wife.

Mrs. Hou Zhang hurried forward to snatch the child from Mrs. Gong Le's hands: "Oh, little girl, you've moved your nest! Do you still recognize your aunt? But I picked you up from under the firewood stack!"

Hou Mingli and Xiaihao had met each other before, and they were polite.

"Ang, did you name it?" Hou Zhang asked.

"Oh, let's get up, it's called Miaoer. Cong Sumiao." Bao Yixian said.

"Meow? Haha!" Hou Zhang said with a smile, "Miao'er is good, let's raise him as a cat! Haha! The cat is good, don't bother people!"

Seeing that Hou Mingli and his wife were very close to the family of the Fourth Emperor, Xie Niehao said, "Ang, brother Cong, then, let's go back first!"

"Oh? Don't tell me (to dissuade), I haven't drunk the full moon wine yet." The fourth emperor said to Hou Zhang, "The brother and sister came at the right time. You help me to weigh the two dishes. Let's drink a full moon with Gong Jiachang bar."

After hearing this, Hou Zhang curled her lips, a little dissatisfied.

Xi Niehao and his wife declined for a while, but stayed to drink the full moon wine.

On the kang is a table for the Eight Immortals, with two dishes on it, surrounded by three men.

Fill up a cup for everyone from the Four Emperors, and then hold up the wine cup.

At this time, Gong Leshi came up with a plate of dishes, and when he saw Xie Howao was holding a wine cup, he shoved (robbed) him and said, "Ang, when you are an armor-piercing chief, you think you are a great official. There are five people and six people (showing off in front of people). Oh, drink less, and learn more from Mr. Cong. You see, he is sensible, and he walks around Mr. Cong all day. How much he has learned. Now he has five rooms The big tile-roofed house will be built right away!"

After finishing speaking, Gong Leshi turned and went to the kitchen.

Xie Howao blinked his eyes, and said to the two of them: "Ang, I don't think the brothers are laughing at me. I am a person with tracheitis, and I am afraid of my wife! I can drink a couple of cups, but I don't have such a good appetizer. I drink two taels of Jin Shengtai Xiaoshao every day, and that’s all I drink.”

As Xiaihao said, he took out a salted duck egg from his bosom.

"Oh, salted duck eggs are just wine, the more they are, the more delicious they are!" Hou Mingli said, "This year, this is the best appetizer."

"Oh, it's good, but I'm a salted duck egg. If you want to drink it, I'll eat it for half a month!" Xiebaihao said.

"Oh? Half a month?" Hearing this, the Fourth Emperor was surprised, "How did you do it?"

Xiaihao put the salted duck eggs on the table.

Only then did I realize that the duck egg was threaded longitudinally with a string, with two ends of the string exposed, each tied with a big knot.

Xiaihao pulled a big knot of string with his hand.

After pulling out the thread, I saw a bunch of dense knots tied inside.

These small bumps bring out some duck egg greens and duck egg yolks.

Xiebahao put these small pimples on his lips, took a sip, tapped his mouth, and took a sip of wine.

Then, Xiaihao pulled the big pimple on the other end again, and the string of small pimples brought out some duck egg green and duck egg yolk. He put these small pimples on his lips and took another sip of wine. .

"Oh? Haha, you're too picky, aren't you?" Hou Mingli laughed and said, "Then why can't you scrape the egg whites out of your pimples?"

"Ang, there is a way, then I'll pierce the eye and put another thread!" Xie howled.

Looking at this duck egg from the Four Emperors, he was stunned for a long time.

I thought to myself, this Xiebaihao looks rough (not careful) on the surface, but his thoughts are still very careful.

From this duck egg, he seemed to see the wisdom in Xiebahao's life.

But he couldn't figure out why the Xibaihao in the illustration in the dream was wrapped around his neck by a faceless man with a noose.

Xi Niehao put away the duck eggs, picked up the wine cup, and said, "Ah, today, I borrowed my brother's wine, wishing my brother and younger siblings the joy of having a baby on the full month. At the same time, I also wish Mingli the joy of building a new house. Daddy After the tile-roofed house is built, we will build the wing rooms, and the Hou Family Courtyard will be completed as soon as possible!"

"Hehe, what's the big courtyard of Hou's family? There's a long way to go between me and Gong Jia." Hou Mingli said cheerfully, taking a sip of his wine.

"Oh, you are sensible, I admire you! You are hard-working, honest, and never fool (nonsense)! Look at you, you have bought more than 100 acres of land, and you are not ostentatious. From now on, I have to learn from you Learn."

Xi Niehao drank two cups of wine, and the conversation started.

The three of them were arguing and drinking, and Hou Mingli even punched Xie Baihou.

After an hour like this, they parted ways.
