In the evening, He's family came over for dinner, and Tang Shijin also paid He Lizheng money.
When I asked He Shiba again, the young man blushed so much that it was love at first sight.
The next day, Mrs. Zhou invited the official media to propose marriage to Steward Chen's family.
The girl's family usually won't agree to this kind of thing right away, but it's no problem listening to what she said. It's just a matter of the official media making another trip.
Congratulations to the whole family.
Later, Yang Pengxiao also gave He Shishi and He Shiba names, He Mingzhi, He Mingbian... But for He Yuanxiao, he said the names were pretty good, smooth and easy to pronounce, and there was no need to change them.
In the morning, He Li came over to find her and discussed with her: "Our family also wants to build a big house. After your masonry team has finished your work, we can use it too."
"It's done," Tang Shijin said with a smile: "You go directly to Team Leader Cheng and start sketching, buying land, and preparing bricks and tiles. Although I haven't finished it yet, the rest of the work is simple. Team Leader Cheng should be free.
Son, let me tell you, Uncle He, if you want to build a bigger house, you can live there when your grandson is born. In the future, four generations will live under one roof, how wonderful!"
Four generations living under one roof is the ideal of these people. He Lizheng could hardly smile from ear to ear: "Yes, yes, it's all thanks to you."
The happiest thing in his life was that he fell in love with Tang Shijin!
Otherwise, their family would still be banging their clappers and selling tofu, earning a small amount of ten or twenty cash!
In a blink of an eye, it’s July 15th.
The Ghost Festival on July 15th is a folk festival for worshiping ancestors. It is very solemn, and the masonry teams, restaurants and teahouses also have a day off.
The old housekeeper prepared something for ancestor worship early in the morning.
Tang Shijin also made spiritual tablets for his mother and grandmother.
When asked about Yan Baiwei, he sighed for a long time and then placed a blank memorial tablet.
After offering sacrifices to the gods of heaven and earth, everyone offered a stick of incense to the deceased ancestors of their respective families.
Then Tang Shijin tied up four Kongming lanterns with his own hands. After dinner in the evening, the four of them climbed up the mountain for a while and each lit up the Kongming lanterns. The orange Kongming lanterns fluttered up into the dark night sky.
On Tang Shijin's lamp, there is a sentence written: "Those who love me will have more wealth, and those who love me will have more blessings."
Tang Shilei's lantern reads: "Sister, I wish you all the best."
A peach that turns into a peach is not like praying for blessings: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
Yan Baiwei said: "The world is at peace."
The four people all raised their heads and looked at the night sky, clearly seeing the words on their own lamps and the words on the other people's lamps.
Tao Chengqi sighed: "If you ask me, the lamp of the four of us is actually Lei'er's, the one with the best writing."
Tang Shijin said: "Is it my fault?"
"Okay," Tao Chengqi said, "It's just too greedy, but compared to Bai Wei, it's not greedy."
Tang Shijin said: "But this is my hope! I don't have many people who love me, so I can't be considered greedy."
Tang Shilei said seriously: "An Neng will do my best to satisfy everyone's wishes, but I just want to be worthy of my heart."
Tao Chengqi laughed loudly: "Lei'er is right, you have no shame in admiring the world, and praise and criticism have their own spring and autumn."
As he spoke, the Kongming Lantern gradually drifted away.
The cool night breeze blew on his face. Tang Shijin stared blankly at the stars on the horizon, and couldn't help but think of his grandmother again.
The day my grandma passed away was July 15th.
Grandpa just passed his first seven years.
Grandma was always in good health and had no illness or illness. She died just fine. She was sent to the hospital but no one could save her, and she was then put in the morgue.
She was still young at that time, and several people had been busy for most of the night. When she came out of the back of the hospital, she was stunned and didn't know how to cry.
Uncle Hu suddenly pressed her shoulders and said, Xiaojin, look.
When she looked up, she saw several Kongming lanterns rising flutteringly from the night sky of the city.
It drifted further and further away until it could no longer be seen.
At that time, she thought that from now on, she would be alone.
A big hand suddenly pressed on her head.
She blinked her eyes and realized that she had burst into tears at some point.
And Tao Chengqi and Tang Shilei, who were in a five-character couplet, had already traveled a long way, and she didn't even notice.
It's really embarrassing.
She quickly wiped away her tears and wanted to leave, but he held the back of her head and pressed her little face into his arms.
He patted her back gently.
As if she was enveloped in a particularly deep tenderness, she couldn't help but put her arms around his waist and cried out.
She cried heartily.
It felt really good to have someone supporting her and she could cry as much as she wanted.
So after she finished crying, she looked up at him and couldn't help but smile.
Yan Baiwei also laughed.
I often hear people say "laughing through tears", but I never knew that this word could be so cute.
Seeing the stars in her eyes, he rarely ignored the etiquette and kissed her forehead gently.
The next morning, the two were practicing on the lake, and the old housekeeper brought Hualang over.
As soon as he saw her, Hua Lang hurriedly said: "Sister! Someone from the capital has come to investigate Guo Tong's matter!"
Tang Shijin was slightly surprised: "People from the capital? Are they so big?"
"It's probably the Tao family who took action." Yan Baiwei asked Hualang, "Who is he?"
Hua Lang said: "It is said to be the Jin Yiwei."
Tang Shijin was really surprised this time.
Although she is historically illiterate, she vaguely remembers that Jinyiwei seems to be a unique product of the Ming Dynasty, right? Other dynasties, such as the Song Dynasty, although they had similar institutions, were not called by this name?
Yan Baiwei asked: "Who is coming?"
Hua Lang said: "I just arrived at midnight yesterday. I only know my surname is Jiang, but I don't know who he is."
"Jiang Hu." Yan Baiwei frowned slightly: "It should be Jiang Hu."
He turned to Tang Shijin and said: "The current commander of Jinyiwei is named Wan, and his name is Wantong. He is the younger brother of Concubine De. He has two colleagues, one is named Chai Qianyuan and the other is named Jiang Hu. There is a saying in the capital that privately,
Wantong is greedy, Chai Gou is ruthless, and Jiang Hu is crazy... Wantong is extremely greedy for money, Chai Qianyuan is martial and murderous, but Jiang Hu is said to be moody, and no one can guess his temperament."
He paused for a moment: "I have never met him, I have only heard a lot of rumors. It is said that he once worked hard and traveled thousands of miles to investigate a case. I also heard that he beat civilians to death on the street for no reason.
, the reason is just because the man stumbled when he saw him, so some said he was good and some said he was bad, which is very strange."
Hualang became anxious after hearing this: "Sister, what should we do now? I should have known we would not get involved in this matter."
"Don't be afraid," Tang Shijin said calmly: "Just stop him if the soldiers come. Besides, he may not come to me. After all, Guo Tong's case has little to do with me."
Yan Baiwei said: "No, he will probably come to you. It is said that he is very meticulous in his work."
Tang Shijin nodded: "If that's the case, then I should take the initiative to come..."
She thought for a while: "Tell me more about his rumors."
The old housekeeper was also anxious after hearing this, and couldn't help but said: "My old servant met Jiang Tongzhi once! Jiang Tongzhi was raised by his sister-in-law. Once, the old servant followed the eldest lady to offer incense and saw his family's carriage, with Jiang Tongzhi riding beside him.
, I saw that they parked inappropriately, so I went over and told them not to park here. I didn’t say anything polite, and he didn’t do anything to me and even thanked me. But someone else said to me afterwards,
Only then did I find out that he belongs to Jiang Hu."
Yan Baiwei said helplessly: "You only said that he was raised by his sister-in-law, why didn't you say that he killed his brother?"
The old housekeeper said: "I heard that his brother wanted to kill his sister-in-law, so he killed her."
Yan Baiwei said: "I don't know whether the rumors are true or not. In short, this person's temperament is unstable and his mood and anger are unpredictable. You must be careful."
