happy event

Chapter 124 Pixiu
"Inappropriate." Dong Rong shook her head, "You and I are the same age, and I have been married for a year. It stands to reason that it should be your turn to discuss marriage. Besides, Mr. Yang is an upright person, and he must like your character so he wants to entrust him to you." Daughter. But..."

While talking, Dong Rong also sighed.She also saw Mr. Yang's daughter Wanyin yesterday. Although she can't see through the little girl's temperament just by a few faces, she seems to be very gentle and upright.But isn't marriage the fruit of love?The two boys and girls have never gotten along, what if they find that their personalities are inconsistent after getting married, and they quarrel every day?
Dong Ping didn't know that his sister was thinking so far, and thought she was worried about how to persuade his stepmother, so he persuaded him, "If our father hears that Mr. Yang is willing to marry his daughter, he will be happy. It's okay if the second mother disagrees, and I will marry you." Will not go home to live."

Dong Rong was silent for a while with a strange expression, before finally asking, "Brother Ping, have you seen Mr. Yang's daughter? Do you want my sister to find some opportunities for you to go out alone to play or talk..."

"Sister! How did you say that?" Dong Ping stared in shock, and asked in amazement, "How can a daughter of a good family go out with a man casually, and if the marriage fails, Junior Sister Yang will have no face in the future. people?"

Dong Rong was stunned for a moment and finally came to her senses, she blamed the deep-rooted thoughts of free love in her previous life, but she had forgotten the constraints of feudal ethics in this time and space.

She hurriedly changed her words and said with a smile, "Oh, I'm also confused. I'm afraid that you will marry a daughter-in-law you don't like and come back and quarrel every day. If you are in a hurry, you won't care about the rules."

Dong Ping also regretted his blunt tone just now, bowed his head and apologized, "Sister, I know you are doing it for my own good. No matter what my sister decides, I will listen to her."

Dong Rong patted her younger brother on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Speaking carefully, Mr. Yang treats you very close, and Ms. Yang is also very good. If this marriage is formed, our Dong family will indeed be the one to win. But People don't mind that our Dong family has a low family background, we have to take ourselves more seriously.

How about this, you report back to Mr. Yang and say, our Dong family doesn't want to wrong Ms. Yang.For the time being, the two families are walking around a lot, and everything will be discussed after the test in Chunri Township next year.If you pass the Juren examination, the Dong family will come to propose marriage immediately.If you are unlucky to fail, then let the Yang family decide.Whether the marriage is successful or not, our Dong family will never forget the kindness of Mr. Yang's teaching. "

Dong Ping nodded as he listened, his sister's decision was reasonable.If he passed the exam and then married a wife, his back would be much straighter. Even if his wife was arrogant and difficult to get along with, she would never dare to neglect her sister.Thinking of this, he smiled, "I listen to my sister, I will report back to my husband in this afternoon when I return to the academy."

"Why, you still want to be lazy at home for a day?" Dong Rong gave her younger brother a reproachful look, "Hurry up and go back to the academy after finishing the matter, don't delay your studies."

Dong Ping also wanted to explain a few words, "The business at home is so busy..."

"No matter how busy you are, I can't let you, a scholar, serve wine and food, right? Don't be so wordy, go down the mountain and ask Mrs. Liu to pick up a few stewed vegetables that Mr. Yang likes to take back. Remember to report well, Mr. Yang is a good face, don't provoke him He got angry." Dong Rong adjusted his younger brother's clothes with her own hands, and finally kicked him out of the house cruelly.

Dong Ping was helpless, and went down the mountain unhappy.Dong Rong stood holding the door frame silently for a while, Sha Zhu hugged her from behind and asked, "What's wrong?"

Dong Rong relaxed her back and leaned in his arms, and sighed softly, "It's nothing, I just thought Brother Ping was a child all the time, and I felt a little uncomfortable when I suddenly wanted to propose marriage to him. If I really married a wife with bad conduct , what should he do if he is bullied..."

Silly Zhu was amused to hear that, his little daughter-in-law was worrying again.The world only heard of a wronged daughter-in-law, but never seen a bullied husband-in-law, except of course Dong Xiucai.But of course he couldn't say that. Fortunately, there was a scorching smell in the kiln at the right time, so he reminded, "Is the dessert mushy?"

"Oh, I forgot that there are snacks!" Dong Rong exclaimed and ran to the ear room with the corner of her skirt lifted. As for those worries just now, they have long been thrown into the sky.

Not to mention how Dong Rong rescued the snacks in the oven, but that Mrs. Yang was also restless this morning, she took a needle and thread to pierce her hands, picked up a tea bowl and scalded her mouth, and sent her maid to visit Mr. Yang every half an hour. Visit the study.Mr. Yang was so annoyed that he finally took a book and sat in the hall and did not leave.

Madam Yang also felt that she was going too far, so she sat under the window of the living room and read the household ledger quietly.It was so hard to look forward to it until noon, when the close wife came in and asked if there was a meal, but someone from the second door came to report that Dong Ping was begging to see him.

Madam Yang stood up excitedly, but after thinking about it, she decided to hide in the room and listen.This matter is not a shameful thing to say, but if it is rejected, it will still look bad.

Dong Ping followed the maid into the hall, feeling a little strange in his heart, not understanding why the husband abandoned the study and met him in the hall instead.But there was no doubt on his face. After saluting respectfully, he put the food box in his hand on the coffee table and said with a smile, "Sir, these are some stewed vegetables that my sister asked her disciple to bring back. If you don't mind, sir , you can go with the wine when you have a drink."

Mr. Yang stroked his beard with a smile, nodded and said, "Okay, remember to thank me when you come home again. Also, what does your sister say about the marriage I proposed?"

Dong Ping's face turned slightly red, and he bowed his head and replied, "Sir, please tell me, my sister is very happy to hear that my disciples say that you are so kind to me. She should have agreed immediately, but my sister said that my husband does not dislike the low status of Dong's family. The Dong family can't wrong Ms. Yang. Therefore, whether the two families can move around for a while, we can discuss it after the township test in spring next year. If the student is in high school, they will come to propose marriage immediately. If the student unfortunately lands, Ms. Yang can also do it separately Choose a better marriage."

Mr. Yang’s face was very happy before, but he lost his temper after hearing the second half, "What do you mean you have to choose another choice when you are unlucky? Our Yang family is marrying a daughter, not following the trend..."

"Oh, don't worry, master, don't worry, master!" Mrs. Yang eavesdropped behind the door, and she very much agreed with Dong Rong's postponement of the marriage discussion until next year.After all, in Dong Ping high school, her daughter was married to Juren. If she didn't win or she secretly found out that there was something wrong with Dong's family, she could just make up an excuse and write off the marriage.In any case, it was good for her family, so she didn't care about the embarrassment when she heard that her master was angry, and stopped the conversation when she opened the door.

Dong Ping didn't expect his wife to be in the room, so he quickly got up and saluted.Mrs. Yang helped him and said with a smile, "Juncheng, your husband didn't think about it for a while, so let's follow your sister's suggestion. Don't be too polite in the future, come to the house more often, you know?"

Dong Ping saw that his wife was talking to him while looking at her husband in a state of anxiety, so he quickly agreed, and finally said goodbye and left the courtyard.

Mrs. Yang breathed a long sigh of relief, and went forward to complain to her old man half-annoyed and half-annoyed, "Master, the Dong family also had good intentions and didn't want to wrong our daughter. Why do you still stop it? Besides, if Juncheng Zhongju, our daughter’s marriage is a double blessing, if he really misses and loses, we still marry our daughter, and he will definitely treat his daughter with more love, no matter what, it’s a good thing!”

How could Mr. Yang not know that the Dong family's decision was beneficial to his own family, but literati have their own arrogance, how can they climb high and trample on low?What's more, the other party is still his proud disciple!
The old man flicked his sleeves and went back to the study angrily. Mrs. Yang patted her chest in fright, but there was no worry on her face.Although the old man was annoyed, he did not object after all. In the future, she would treat Dong's family more kindly, so that he would calm down sometime.

Dong Rong didn't know that the Yang family was so noisy, even if she knew, she wouldn't care, because the Four Seasons Garden was too busy.The business of serving people has always been not an easy job. Although the people who come to enjoy the flowers are arty people, they always have to behave politely in front of people.But there are also many people who go wild after being drunk. Some people take off their outer shirts and sing loudly, some people climb on peach trees and cry and laugh.

At the beginning, everyone in the orchard would still laugh or feel annoyed, but gradually they became numb.Those who climbed trees were caught, those who cried were given a dry cloth towel, and those who recited poems and poems were given a pair of the Four Treasures of the Study...

Unexpectedly, after responding in this way, not only did he not annoy the guests, but he also got a lot of rewards.Dong Rong wasn't mean either, everyone won the rewards and never collected them into the public account, so everyone in the orchard took care of the guests as if they had been spattered with chicken blood, and naturally their purses became more and more bulging.

As the owner, Dong Rong certainly couldn't be idle.She is like a big spider sitting in the middle of the spider web, always paying attention to and manipulating the affairs of the entire orchard, and it takes a long time to check the accounts every night.But seeing the increasing balance on the last page of the account book, she still feels quite fulfilled.Occasionally, when there is no one in the house, she will drag the silly column and jump all over the floor to vent her excitement.

Speaking of it, the small orchard is only ten acres of land, selling some novelty snacks, appetizers and a few jars of low-quality fruit wine, it is not bad if others guess that it can earn five or six taels a day.But in fact, seven or eight days after the park opened, there was a surplus of more than 300 taels in her money box.

The reason is simple. The vegetables used in the restaurant are grown in the vegetable field, the wild vegetables are picked from the mountains, and the bamboo shoots are dug from the forest.The wine is homemade, the chickens are raised by the old lady Yu, and the most popular bamboo weaving is collected from the refugees for a few pennies.Even the frozen pears that were sobered up and served after the banquet were unsold last autumn and were frozen in the ice cellar. At that time, everyone was so distressed that they almost shed tears. Now ten cents a piece is still in short supply.

Therefore, except for the thin noodles needed for making dim sum and various seasonings for making lo mei, you basically don’t need to spend money. The orchard is completely a wild monster that can only enter and not exit.
