Zhang Meihua experienced what it was like for the first time in her life. The sky was the quilt and the earth was the bed. Under the open air, it was dark and bright. Just the two of them. The man was gentle and rough, sweating profusely. She felt shy and confused.
Stimulate.
She put on her clothes silently and looked at the handsome face of the man next to her, filled with joy.
"Young Master... Mei Hua is already yours, and I don't know his name yet." She said with a shy face.
Meng Tingsheng tied up his belt and looked at the appearance of the woman in front of him. He felt extremely proud. Look, he is still charming and has conquered another one.
He stretched out his hand, hooked the little red face, and kissed the little mouth, "Your name is Meihua, right? What's your last name?"
Hearing this, Zhang Meihua thought that the young master was asking her where she came from because he was planning to come to propose marriage, so she hurriedly said: "My surname is Zhang. I live in Erdao Hutong, Yunshan Lane. My father is a child, and my brother is also a scholar."
"Zhang Meihua? Okay, I will remember you." Meng Tingsheng nodded, turned around and went outside.
"Young Master..." Seeing him leaving like that, Zhang Meihua shouted urgently.
Meng Tingsheng turned around and showed a big smile, "Mei Hua, dear, it's not a good time to stay here for a long time. I will come back to find you later."
Zhang Meihua heard this and thought, she has been out for a while, if she doesn't go back and someone catches her here with a man... that would be too bad.
When she heard the young master say that he would come back to look for her, his smile made her heart beat loudly, so she obediently watched the man go out, and then followed him back to the side hall.
Seeing that it took so long for her to go to the toilet, Ge Yun'er couldn't help but ask a few more questions. Zhang Meihua quickly said that she had taken a sidetrack and had fooled Ge Yun'er, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
During the second half of the dinner, Zhang Meihua was completely thinking about the young man in blue and had no energy to see other people.
In addition, the female guest did not share the table with the male guests. She wanted to see the young master again, but she could not, so she had to regret and follow Ge Yun'er to leave the dinner and go home with some expectation.
Ge Yun'er was very satisfied when she saw that she didn't make any fool of herself during the whole process and didn't embarrass her. It was also a good thing for her that her sister-in-law could have a good marriage. She could bring more of them to any flower banquets or other events in the future.
Go with her.
Mrs. Feng, who was waiting at home, called her daughter back. She hurriedly came forward and took people to look at her again and again, and said with excitement: "Did you see those ladies? How did you behave? Whose eyes did you catch?"
"
"I've seen it, the pavilion chief's wife, the Cheng family's wife, the eldest grandma, and the wives of the Fan family, I've seen them all..." Zhang Meihua told her mother what she had seen at the dinner, and when she mentioned who had caught her eye, she couldn't bear it.
I couldn't help but blush and refused to say more.
Mrs. Feng looked at her daughter's budding love. As someone who has experienced this, how could she not understand?
My daughter must have met the man she liked at the dinner party.
The dinner parties held by Mrs. Lu were all attended by reputable families in the town. No matter who her daughter was interested in, that family would be enough for her to marry.
Mrs. Feng thought that she would get a good in-law soon, and she was very excited. She kept talking to her daughter about the Chinese New Year, so she should make more good clothes and make some good jewelry for her daughter.
Zhang Meihua was very happy as she listened and thought about the young master today. Next time she sees him, she must dress up more beautifully.
But Feng Shi couldn't help complaining to Zhang Guangu, "It's not okay if we don't send a penny of money from home. Our monthly expenses are still going to be spent no matter how tight we are."
It's a small number, but this alone won't last for a few hours."
"The family that Meihua is marrying into is not an ordinary family. It's not okay to dress shabbily like this. How can it attract others' eyes? I don't want others to look down on me, so these new clothes have to be made of cotton, satin and brocade."
"This will cost a lot of money, and I don't have enough here."
Zhang Gugua doesn't pay much attention to these things. Money has always been in charge of his wife, so he just wants it. If his daughter can marry a good family, he is also happy. If he buys jewelry and makes clothes, buy it and make it.
But there’s not enough money?
Zhang Guguang frowned and couldn't say anything about not buying good clothes for her. If her daughter can marry a good family and he has respect, this is what she should do.
"Why don't you ask your uncle to borrow more? When Song'er becomes an official in the future, we can pay back double the amount."
When Feng heard this, she pushed him, "Do you think that my elder brother got his money from scraping? Isn't that what he earned with hard work? Why do you have the nerve to reach out and borrow it?"
I'm really embarrassed, so every time I can't make ends meet, it's my wife who comes forward.
If you ask him to speak, he can't lose face.
"Then what should I do? The New Year is approaching, and I've been having a lot of social activities recently, and most of them require money. How much money do I have left at home? I can't even get out twenty taels?"
Feng curled her lips and said, "Twenty taels, what is twenty taels? Song'er got married and had a wedding banquet. The house was bought in the county. The new house will naturally be arranged there. No banquets will be held in the county at that time? Just find a restaurant.
If you book a table of ten or twenty, you won’t be able to get even a forty or fifty tael.”
"After all, this is a major event in Song'er's life, and he is marrying a girl from a scholar's family. With relatives and friends on both sides watching, how can we live in such a miserable state?"
"But we don't need to worry about this. My eldest brother has already agreed to pay for Song'er's wedding banquet."
"But the cost of Song'er's studies cannot be calculated with one hand. The county school is different from the town school, the classmates are different, and the expenses are also very different. If we can't find a capable helper, how can we succeed?
?”
"Peach Blossom has brought back a lot of money throughout the year, but where is the family's wealth? Therefore, Mei Hua's marriage must be carefully grasped. With rich in-laws, how can the brother-in-law support his studies and career?"
My uncle who is expected to become an official?"
Zhang Gugua listened carefully and felt that what his wife said was reasonable, so he said: "Then how did you think about it? Just say it."
Feng Shi smiled and said, "We must buy some nice outfits for Meihua. If we spend the money ourselves, it will be difficult for the family to make a living, so someone else has to pay for it!"
Someone else comes out?
Who comes out?
"You should go home tomorrow. Dad is paralyzed. I heard he can't speak. What is it like? You haven't gone back to see it yet. You can take a doctor home with you tomorrow to see it." Feng agreed.
.
Zhang Gugua listened and subconsciously didn't want to go back to that rural place, but for the sake of money, he thought about it and nodded, "Okay, I'll condescend to go back tomorrow."
Over at Zhang Ji's grocery store, Zhang Digua and Liu were also talking.
Mrs. Liu's mother-in-law was also in business and had a better brain than Zhang Digua. After listening to his words, she gave him some good ideas.
Knowing how to get it, Zhang Digua happily slept well. Early the next morning, after having breakfast, he drove the mule cart to Songshan Village.
After leaving the town, I happened to bump into Zhang Gugua, who had rented a carriage with the doctor.
When the two brothers meet, they just fight. You ask me what to do when I go back? I ask you what to do when you go back?
But not surprisingly, they all replied: Go back and see dad.
