Leisure

The time in the world is beautiful. In the early morning of the next day, Wanxi woke up to the sound of hawking in the morning market, and the smell of breakfast wafted in the clean room, which was very attractive.Wanxi was lying on the bed, suddenly longing for the matter of marrying a mortal daughter-in-law.When I opened the door, I met Wen Shuoge's shop waiter passing by the door with tea, Wanxi reached out and stopped him: "My little brother, let your boss come to discuss this matter."

The little Er who delivered the tea trembled, and the teapot on the tray ding-dong, and quickly answered: "My lord, please forgive me. If there is anything wrong with my hospitality, you can beat me or scold me, my lord. Don't tell the boss!" Wanxi lowered his head and laughed: "Who wants to sue you, I'm talking about business, go!" The shop waiter obeyed, and Wanxi went back to the room to make tea leisurely Come.

After breakfast, news came out from Wenshuo Pavilion that a young master was going to invite a relative in Wenshuo Pavilion. Anyone who brought a portrait of a girl to introduce him would get a tael of silver for each introduction. If you are dear, the introducer can get a hundred taels of silver.If the introducer has any questions, he can go to the Wen Shuo Pavilion to ask, and if there is anything that needs to be told, the young master will tell the truth.

After the news was released, it caused quite a stir in Da'an City, but no one responded.When Yuan Ming arrived at Wenshuo Pavilion, Wanxi dressed herself neatly and sat in the private room facing the street of Wenshuo Pavilion.The window is open in the empty room, facing a stone arch bridge outside the window, Wanxi holds a teacup in his hand, and looks at the pedestrians on the street with a smile, the picture is quiet and beautiful.He didn't turn his head until he heard the sound of someone coming in, and saw Yuan Ming stepping on the threshold, staring at him in a daze.Wanxi smiled lightly: "Master Yuan came so early, did he bring a portrait of a beautiful woman?"

The little scholar woke up from his trance, blushed slightly and strode into the private room.The topic of small talk started with Mr. Jiang's story, and after a long circle, it went back to the matter of recruiting relatives. After hesitating for a long while alone, Yuan Ming still questioned: "Marriage is always the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. No one recruits a relative for himself in such a grand manner, Mr. Wanxi seems to have done something... out of line?"

Extraordinary?where?Wanxi tapped the table, seemed to consider Yuan Ming's question very carefully, and then asked: "When a man starts a family, does he marry his own wife, or the wife of his parents' matchmaker? When a daughter marries, does he marry his own husband, or Parents' matchmaker's husband?"

Yuan Ming answered fluently: "Naturally, the one who marries is my wife, and the one who marries is also my husband. But the one who remarries is also the daughter-in-law of the parents, and the one who marries the son-in-law is also the son-in-law of the parents. How can I make my own decisions?"

Wanxi shook his head when he heard it: "It's wrong, Mr. Yuan, no matter you marry, you always find someone to accompany you for a lifetime. Take marrying a wife as an example, the person you marry has nothing to do with your parents. Became your relative, and because of your relationship, became your parents' daughter-in-law. Then since you are looking for a relative who will accompany you for a lifetime, you must naturally find someone you like, and you must be happy with each other, and you can talk to each other. If two people are happy, who can know better than you? So this matter has to be decided by yourself, which is the right way."

Yuan Ming was entangled in Wanxi's words, and wanted to find something to refute, but also felt that what Wanxi said was not unreasonable.Just as they were taking care of their own thoughts, someone suddenly knocked lightly on the door of the private room, and the two turned their heads. The person at the door retracted his head unconsciously, then stretched it back again, and asked, "Which young master is inviting relatives?" ?”

Yuan Ming glanced at the person coming, and frowned slightly: "Da Li, did you bring the portrait of your niece?" The person at the door saw clearly that one of the two young masters belonged to his old employer. Son, so an embarrassing look appeared on his face.Wanxi saw that the expressions of the two were not right, so he turned around and asked Yuan Ming, "Acquaintance?"

Yuan Ming nodded: "I used to be a family member of the Yuan Mansion. My father resigned because he always drank and caused trouble. In his family, there is only a widowed younger sister with a daughter. The daughter is now fourteen. This Li Da has done it several times. Short of money for the drink, and wanted to sell the niece, it was his sister who begged to get it back with all her life. This time, I'm afraid he came here again without telling his sister."

Hearing what Yuan Ming said, Li Da's withered and yellow face turned red, and it took him a long time to say: "This time it's... yes, this young man is generous, even if he thinks he can't lose to my lowly raised girl..." The voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he didn't even dare to lift his eyes, full of regret for his recklessness, how could such a handsome rich man like his rough-bred girl.

Poor man!After listening to the ins and outs of this point, Wanxi couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In the past, he heard the new ghosts in Da'anshan Academy talk about all kinds of things in the world. He was angry and sad. Later, he felt that he had seen through it all. After listening to it, he understood that there is a kind of thing in the world. , called helpless.This time I faced the poor people in the world, this kind of helplessness suddenly became a little more real, thinking of Wanxi here, suddenly gave birth to a heart of chivalry.He also stopped looking at Li Da's expression, and only reached out to control Li Da to ask for the portrait hidden behind his back.

Then Li Daben expected to have no chance, never thought that this young master would ask himself for a portrait, and when he raised his head, his eyes were full of joy.Wanxi looked at the girl in the portrait, a very thin girl with stubbornness hidden in her brows, but full of sadness that shouldn't be at this age, and sighed: "Da Li, I can give you the money." , but I don't want to become in-laws with you, what do you think?"

Li Da was stunned, and immediately showed a flattering smile: "If you give it to the young master, you will be the young master's man. How dare the villain dare to climb up with the young master's relatives, how dare the villain. The villain severed ties with that girl Wang Zhaoer when he returned home. Young master, just take it away with confidence!"

One point is clear, and Wanxi is quite satisfied with this point.Yuan Ming stared hard at the side, very puzzled that the man in front of him had just told himself that he wanted to find a girl who was pleasing to each other, how could he choose someone based on a portrait when he turned around, not to mention, this It's the first one, there should be more in the future.

Wanxi didn't explain, just asked Xiaoer for pen and ink, brushed and wrote two or three pieces of paper, dried it and put it in his arms: "Li Da, can I take you to see your niece and your sister? "

Li Da showed a look of embarrassment on his face: "My lord, if a girl who has not yet left the cabinet casually lets a strange man meet her, her reputation will be lost."

Although Yuan Ming didn't understand what Wanxi was going to do, after hearing Li Da's refusal, he still couldn't help but answer: "It's not the first time you let your niece show up in front of you to earn money for your drinks, what's the trouble now. "

Wanxi understood, raised the corner of his mouth, and took out 50 taels from his purse: "Give me half of the silver first, you, my niece, will never be in vain."

Li laughed and took the money away, and then he took Wanxi and Yuanming to his home.What Hao Han said is correct, there is no money in the world, and it is difficult to move an inch.
