When Xiao Tang, Xue Yong and others rushed to Pan's house, Pan Taigong saw Xiao Tang stumbling and Xiao An, one of the group, had half his face black and blue, and two of his teeth had been knocked out. He hurriedly asked why.
When Xiao Tang saw Taigong Pan, he didn't know anything about it. After thinking about it, he just deduced that the horse he was riding was frightened and bumped into them. However, although Taigong Pan greeted him, Xiao Tang always felt that something was not right.
The concern for him...is a bit too much.
I don't know if it was Taigong Pan, but when the servants and maids of the Pan family saw Xiao Tang, they were either extremely respectful or looked at him with strange eyes, especially when they met Wu Zhi and Wu Dalang. Although Wu Zhi behaved politely,
But his expression was stiff, and he spoke much less than before. He only answered slowly when Xiao Tang asked, and his words and deeds were seven points less popular.
This made Monk Zhanger of Xiaotang even more confused. After discussing with Pan Taigong about traveling by car to transport food, he said goodbye and waited for Xue Yong and others to return to Xiaojiaji.
"Young Master, how can we let Wu Er's matter just go away like this?" Xiao An puffed out his cheeks and said hummingly, even though he had lost two teeth.
The bastard who refuses to die and is hungry but will not kill has repeatedly offended the young master, and this time it is even more outrageous! Young master, look at my face..."
"Okay, okay, just go back and recuperate, you are so noisy!" Xiao Tang impatiently interrupted Xiao An who was complaining to him, and also wondered: "This matter is weird, Xiao Yi, you
What do you think?"
Xiao Yi thought for a moment and said, "Master, I think there must be something fishy about this matter!"
...... Nonsense! Everyone in the Pan family is very weird, especially Wu Song, who is furious. But after all, Xiao Tang is not the famous detective Di Renjie. Even though he is full of questions, he can't think of anything.
So come.
While Xiao Tang was thinking about it, he saw Xue Yong looking ashamed, with his head lowered and following behind him silently, and asked: "Master Xue, why do you look like this?"
Xue Yong sighed, bowed to Xiao Tang and said, "Oh! I'm really ashamed. The young master has treated me so kindly by taking me in. I, Xue Yong, know how to repay kindness. I just want to use my abilities to protect the young master.
I don’t know what kind of guy caused trouble for no reason today, but I can’t stop him despite my incompetence.”
Xiao Tang hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Master Xue, what are you talking about? That Wu Er is very capable and brave. Master Xue has done his best. What else can I blame Master Xue for?"
When Xue Yong heard what Xiao Tang said, he finally felt relieved and felt even more grateful to Xiao Tang.
But Xiao Tang understood that how could he, a diseased creature, withstand Wu Song, who killed a real tiger with an eye-catching white forehead with his bare hands in the Water Margin? There were only a handful of people in the entire Water Margin who could compete with Wu Song on foot.
?If we really want to confront Wu Song, we can only invite Hua Monk Lu Zhishen over.
..... However, Lu Zhishen and Wu Song have relatively good tempers. I guess if they get together, they will probably be beaten violently by both of them...
Alas, everything in his Pan family was full of weirdness. The more he thought about it, the less he could figure out why. So he went back to Xiaojiaji as soon as possible and slowly dug out some clues.
"Uh hehe hehehe..." Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to Xiao Mansion, Mr. Xiao saw Xiao Tang. At that time, he would often twitch his neck and raise his old face. He would teach people with a straight face and be very arrogant.
The handsome old man was so happy that he laughed.
The hair on Xiao Tang's body stood up. Is the world swollen? Wu Song was baffled, everyone in Pan's house was baffled, and now even the old man was baffled. Is everyone going crazy?
Xiao Tang was frightened and asked Father Xiao: "Dad, what are you doing? The kid is so confused when he makes a funny joke for no reason."
Father Xiao smiled and said: "There is no reason? Where is the reason? You don't know it, but a great good thing has happened to you!"
After all, his son is his heartthrob. The relationship between Xiao Xiao and Xiao Tang has improved these days. Seeing that Xiao Tang is busy taking care of the car dealership and Ji Neixiang Yong's affairs, although Xiao Xiao doesn't say anything, he gradually begins to express his feelings. I have a changed view on Xiao Tang.
When Xiao Tang was running a car dealership to make a living, the Pan Mansion in Kongsongzhuang, Qh County, sent a matchmaker to send a fortune telling (in the Song Dynasty, when the bride's family was choosing a son-in-law for a wedding, the woman's family would first send a matchmaker to the groom's family to ask for fortune-telling). Mr. Xiao Dad immediately beamed with joy, and when he found out that the daughter of the Pan family was good-looking and dignified, the old and prudent Xiao Xiao laughed so hard that he almost reached his earlobes when he was carrying his servants on his back.
After all, this is a major event in the life of his own flesh and blood. Father Xiao also thought that his son was interested in the daughter of Pan Taigong's house, and he even won Pan Taigong's favor to facilitate this matter. In addition, his son was also about to get married. Age (the suitable marriage age set by Renzong in the Song Dynasty: fifteen years old for boys and thirteen years old for girls), how could Father Xiao, who was already thinking about having a grandson, not feel happy?
And when Xiao Tang explained the matter clearly to Xiao Tang, Xiao Tang suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Wu Song became furious when he saw him. It was also no wonder that with all the behaviors in the Pan family, Wu Erlang was not like Ximen Qing in the Lion Tower in Water Margin. If the result is like that, then it’s time for Xiao Tang to burn incense!
It would be a lie to say that there is no starting point in the heart. Pan Jinlian can be said to be one of the characters in Water Margin that is most likely to arouse men's reverie. But even if Xiao Tang's scruples about Wu Song are not taken into account, Xiao Tang and his Pan Jinlian After just a quick glance, it turned out that the other party was indeed a very beautiful woman with outstanding appearance, but the two of them had no relationship foundation at all, and they knew nothing about each other's temperament and behavior, so Xiao Tang did not feel very happy, but only felt a little confused.
Now the situation is very obvious. On one side is Miss Pan, who is as beautiful as a flower, and on the other is Wu Song, who is as wolf as a tiger (why is this comparison so weird...) If Xiao Tang agrees to this marriage, it will be like falling from the sky. This cute little beauty can be his wife as Xiao Tang, but Wu Song... I just pray in this life that I don't bump into him on the road.
Xiao Tang thought about it for a while and then came up with his own idea. He said to Father Xiao: "Dad, I don't want to get married in this way."
Father Xiao's face suddenly became serious and he asked: "Why is this?!"
Xiao Tang replied: "The good old man learned that the Miss Pan family has a secret love affair with Dalang Wu Zhiwu, the chief servant of the house, and they have already made a secret promise..."
Upon hearing this, Father Xiao's expression changed and he asked hurriedly: "What? Do you suspect that Miss Pan has an affair with someone in the house!?"
"No, no." Xiao Tang hurriedly waved his hand and said: "That Changgong Wu Zhi is a polite and kind-hearted person, and Miss Pan is definitely not someone who can do anything that disgraces the family. But as far as the child knows, these two People have already put all their thoughts on each other. If you want to marry, you must marry someone who knows each other well and loves and respects each other. Why should children ruin someone else's natural match?"
Father Xiao frowned, and he snorted: "So what? You are the young master of my Xiao family, and the Miss Pan family is the daughter of the Pan family in Kongsongzhuang. You two are a perfect match."
, Since Miss Pan is beautiful and virtuous, what will happen to the long-term worker if you marry him?"
Hmm... The long-term worker can't do anything, but the long-term worker's brother will probably risk his life... Xiao Tang thought with a wry smile, and he coaxed Father Xiao and joked: "Why does a man have to worry about not having a wife? Baby?
If you want to marry, you must be more dignified, virtuous, considerate, and beautiful, and most importantly, you must truly love your children, dad, are you right?"
The stubborn old man Xiao rolled his eyes and snorted coldly: "Idiots are talking about dreams! How could such a good woman fall in love with you? Huh! If you don't want to marry, then just don't marry!"
Xiao Tang originally thought that he would have to argue with Mr. Xiao, who was eager for him to start a family as soon as possible, but he didn't expect that although the old man had some emotions, he did not force Xiao Tang to get married.
In fact, this has a lot to do with the fact that the Xiao family is originally a Khitan. Although the Khitan people are mainly arranged by their parents, and their marriages also go through the process of engagement, meeting, welcoming, and blessing, the same Khitan marriage customs also retain
There are special marriage phenomena such as brother-in-law succession, sister-in-law succession, heterogeneous marriage, and even aunt-nephew matching. Children have relatively greater autonomy in their own marriages compared to Han people, so Mr. Xiao is relatively more independent in this regard.
Respect Xiao Tang’s personal wishes.
Father Xiao went on to say: "But the Pan family is a big family. They sent a matchmaker to deliver straws and ask for divination, but we refused. It inevitably hurt the face of the Pan family. I will not deal with the aftermath of this matter for you. You kid can handle it yourself!"
"After that, Father Xiao left the main hall angrily.
Xiao Tang then thought, yes, the most important thing right now is how to explain this matter to the Pan family...
Early on the next morning, Xiao Tang took Xue Yong and Xiao Yi to Kongsongzhuang. Everyone in Pan's house in Kongsongzhuang couldn't help but be a little surprised to see Xiao Tang visiting one after another. Pan Taigong thought that Xiao Tang had already obtained
Knowing that the Pan family came to talk about matchmaking and divination, he smiled and ordered his servants to arrange the living room properly and invite Xiao Tang into the house.
"My nephew is here again today, why?" Pan Taigong asked kindly to his chosen future uncle.
Xiao Tang touched his nose and thought that it was not convenient to beat around the bush about this kind of thing, so it would be better to simply make it clear. He sang a song to Pan Taigong and said loudly: "Haojiao Taigong knows that this junior is here because of
It is for your house to propose marriage to my Xiao family."
Pan Taigong smiled and shook his head gently, thinking that this boy was a little too impatient. According to etiquette, the Xiao family still needed to reply to the post. Both men and women had to confirm each other's birthdays and family background.
"(a man and a woman meet each other to see if they are satisfied with each other), the result was good for him. The next day he excitedly visited me, my father-in-law. It seems that he really cares about my Jinlian...
Unexpectedly, when Xiao Tang ordered Xiao Yi to take out two pieces of colorful satin, Pan Taigong's smile suddenly froze. In the marriage customs of the Song Dynasty, if the man fell in love with the woman, he would insert a gold hairpin into his crown and temples. This is called
If the man does not agree to the marriage, he will be given two pieces of colored satin, which is called a shock.?
Taigong Pan's face changed color and he asked anxiously: "What do you mean by this, my dear nephew? Have you never laid eyes on my daughter!?"
Xiao Tang hurriedly replied: "Grandpa, your love is outstanding in appearance, gentle, virtuous and kind. The younger generation has long heard that it's just..."
"Just what!?" Pan Taigong asked eagerly, his gray beard was blowing, not to mention that he came to ask a matchmaker and was rejected by someone, which was very embarrassing. In terms of character and appearance,
Even if his Jin Lian is not the most powerful person in the world, he is one of the best in the world. It turns out that he was just wishful thinking in bringing Xiao Tang and Jin Lian together, but in the end, this brat did not set his sights on his precious daughter. How could he, as a father, not be angry?
?
Xiao Tang sweated on his forehead and replied: "Grandpa, for a woman like Ling Ai to be able to marry her is a blessing from a previous life. The eldest son of your house is loyal, kind and honest, and he also likes Ling Ai...
"
When Pan Taigong heard this, he became even more angry: "What!? Do you think that my daughter and the elder man have...a relationship...isn't that reasonable!!"
Seeing that Taigong Pan wanted to pick up the crutches and beat him out, Xiao Tang was so depressed that it was no wonder that Father Xiao ignored the matter. In fact, this was normal. His precious daughter, who had worked so hard, was going to be given away to get married. Mom and Dad
Your mind is very sensitive at this time. This misunderstanding has led you to question the innocence of his daughter, and he won’t beat you up to the point where your face is full of peach blossoms?
Xiao Tang quickly added: "Grandpa, please don't misunderstand me. With the personalities of Ling'ai and Da Lang, how could they do anything that would disgrace the family name of your family? My nephew just thought that since Ling'ai and Da Lang were a good match in their previous lives,
They are a beautiful couple, so why would the Grand Duke beat them with a stick?"
When Taigong Pan heard that Xiao Tang did not suspect that Jin Lian was having an affair with Dalang, his anger gradually subsided, but he still said angrily: "Marriage matters are matters of parents' orders and matchmakers' words! It is natural for parents to make the final decision on such important matters in life.
Are they allowed to do whatever they want?!"
Xiao Tang calmed down and talked eloquently: "My grandpa, my nephew knows that all the grandpa's arrangements are for the sake of your love. And the grandpa is naturally more aware of the elder man's character than the nephew. The grandpa is careful and loyal.
, given time, he will become a good help to your family, and he will definitely do his best for the foundation of the Pan family. What is even more commendable is the affection between Da Lang and his wife.
Since the grandpa is a person who has lived there, he should also assume that the two of them are in love and have been married for hundreds of years. What a beautiful thing this is? To be honest, my nephew also hopes that he can find someone who knows me and loves me, and my nephew also knows that she loves her.
My nephew only had a brief relationship with your love, so since my grandpa is concerned about the foundation of your family and your love's happiness, why should he sacrifice the near and seek the far away?"
Taigong Pan snorted heavily and said: "Huh! I don't know what to say! Since you have no intention of getting married to my daughter, let's forget about it and go!"
Xiao Tang gave a heavy salute to Pan Taigong and then resigned. Pan Taigong was still a little depressed. This boy really didn't know what to say! Which newlyweds didn't have their parents arrange their wedding? The Filial Piety Classic says: If a child is born to his parents, there is no big deal.
Yan. When a king comes to you in person, you should treat him with kindness and respect. Therefore, it is said that he who does not love his relatives but loves others is against virtue; he who does not respect his relatives but respects others is said to be against etiquette. But this boy puts the love between men and women on the table.
On the stage, how decent is it!?
But when Taigong Pan recalled the ups and downs that his wife had experienced along the way, the couple were able to hold each other in unison and respect each other as if they were guests. Isn't it because they were in love with each other? As time went by, the love between Duan Xiangru and Mo turned into an inseparable bond.
Family ties. What’s more, this kid is always thinking about my Pan family, Jin Lian and Dalang. How has he ever benefited from it?
Thinking of this, Taigong Pan's expression gradually softened...
As soon as Xiao Tang took Xiao Yi and Xue Yong out of Pan's house, he heard someone shouting: "Master Xiao, stay here!" Xiao Tang looked back and saw that Wu Zhiwu Dalang was indeed rushing over.
Wu Zhi was taking care of things in the mansion. Later, he heard that the servants and maids who were waiting for guests in the mansion came and recounted the conversation between Xiao Tang and Taigong Pan, and hurriedly chased him out of the mansion.
Wu Zhi looked at Xiao Tang and hesitated to speak. He looked grateful and bowed to Xiao Tang.
Xiao Tang smiled and clasped his fists in return, saying nothing. The matter finally came to an end, and Xiao Tang felt relaxed all over.
Alas, I don’t want such a good wife, so I don’t want her anymore. Now the estrangement between me and Wu Song Wu Erlang should be resolved, right?
Unexpectedly, not long after returning to Xiao Mansion, Xiao An ran around, missing teeth and leaking wind, and anxiously reported to Xiao Tang: "It's not good, young master! That bastard Wu Er came to the door again, still holding a stick in his hand.
I’m afraid I’m going to bring misfortune upon the young master again!”
Xiao Tang was about to cry, Brother Wu, Brother Wu, how did I provoke you? Could it be that you eat, sleep, and play Doudou every day, and I am the damn Doudou!?
But Wu Song couldn't stand Zhuang Ke's obstruction and rushed straight into the house. He stared at Xiao Tang closely and looked quite uncomfortable. He threw the big stick in his hand and threw it at Xiao Tang's feet and said: "I heard
My eldest brother said that you came to reject the marriage with Miss Pan, and also tried your best to bring eldest brother and Miss Pan together. That day I caused you to fall down and injured someone in your house. That incident was the loss of Wu Song.
I don’t care about it anymore, I, Wu Song, am an upright man, and since I owe you something, I naturally want you to get it back."
After that, he pointed to the big stick and said: "I will let you beat me today to make you feel angry! But I know that you are of low ability, so hitting me with your fists is like scratching an itch, but it won't help! So I will do that."
You brought this guy here, just use it, I might still feel some pain."
Xiao Tang was very happy with Wu Song. I said Brother Wu, are you here to apologize or to demonstrate?
"Second Brother Wu is looking down on me, Xiao Tang!" Xiao Tang said with a smile: "I once said: I, Second Brother Wu, am a good man, and I am willing to make friends with him. This mere misunderstanding has been resolved, I, Xiao Tang
How can he be that narrow-minded villain? I just want to be my friend, Brother Wu, and don’t mention other trivial matters!"
Wu Song is a person who takes soft things rather than hard ones, and finally a smile appeared on his cramped face and said: "Okay! For what you have done for my eldest brother, I, Wu Song, will make you my friend!"
Finally, finally! Wu Song has tortured me thousands of times these days. I treat Wu Song like my first love, and I tried my best to swallow his anger before Wu Erlang changed his mind about me. As a little fan of Water Margin, I am considered extremely qualified, right?
