Changping Village.
While the dinner was being enjoyed, voices came from outside the yard. Luo Fengtang put down his chopsticks and went out to inquire about the situation, and found that it was Damo leading two unfamiliar middle-aged men.
"Tangyaozi, I came back from town earlier and saw these two people wandering around on this road. When I came over to ask, they asked me where old Uncle Yang was and said they were distant relatives coming to visit, so I took them to him. coming."
After hearing Damo's introduction, Luo Fengtang's appraising eyes fell on the two men in front of him.
They were both around the age of five, and they were strangers. Judging from their dress and temperament, they didn't look like farmers, but looked like small vendors in the town or county.
"Who are you two?" Luo Fengtang didn't rush to bring people into the house, but asked first at the door.
The older one said: "This eldest brother, we are brothers, our surname is Shen. We were entrusted by Zheng Er to come here to pay a visit to the old man of the Yang family."
Your surname is Shen?
Luo Fengtang had no idea about Shen, but he knew that Zheng Er and Qing'er's younger cousin Yang Yongqing were discussing marriage with Zheng Er's daughter.
Luo Fengtang turned sideways and made a gesture to let people in: "You two, please follow me."
In the hall.
After the two uncles from the Shen family introduced themselves, Lao Yangtou and the others immediately greeted them warmly.
They were moving stools and adding chopsticks, and the old man even started talking to each other as "uncle".
This made the two uncles of the Shen family secretly stunned.
When the brother-in-law went to the two of them as lobbyists, the meaning revealed in his words was so different from the reaction of the Lao Yang family?
How is this a gesture of calling off the engagement? With such warm hospitality, they were obviously treated as distinguished guests!
Seeing this, Lao Jiangtou, Lao Suntou and Blacksmith Luo, who were at the same table, all found an excuse to finish their meal early and went back.
Yang Ruoqing didn't leave. She stayed in the backyard to help Sun clean up the dishes and asked Luo Fengtang to go back first and pick him up later.
Old Yangtou called to Luo Fengtang: "Tangyaozi, go and call Yongqing over and ask him to come over and meet his two uncles."
Luo Fengtang was about to nod, but was stopped by two uncles from the Shen family.
One of them gave Luo Fengtang a slow smile and movement, and the other said to Old Yang Touna: "Old Uncle Yang, we are here tonight on the request of my brother-in-law to discuss something with you and want to get your opinion. , As for my nephew and son-in-law, I’m not in a hurry to see him.”
In this case, Old Yangtou smiled knowingly and said to Luo Fengtang again in a pleasant manner: "Then go and do your work first, and come to pick up Qing'er later."
Luo Fengtang nodded and left.
After leaving, Old Yang saw that the two uncles of the Shen family were still chasing Luo Fengtang's retreating back, with awe and inquiry in their eyes.
Old Yangtou was secretly proud and said to the two of them: "The young man who left just now is my second grandson-in-law, his surname is Luo."
The two uncles from the Shen family looked at each other and suddenly realized, "So that's General Luo? He's so famous that he's so famous. I'm lucky enough to see him in person today. He's really a majestic warrior, and he's like a dragon or a phoenix among men!"
Old Yangtou said with a smile: "Thank you both, but my grandson-in-law has no airs at home. He is filial and considerate to his elders."
The two uncles nodded repeatedly, "I've seen it a long time ago, Old Yangshu, you are always blessed!"
Old Yang raised his head and raised his chin, with an intoxicating spring-breeze smile at the corners of his eyes and brows, taking in all the praises and compliments from the Shen brothers.
…
The Shen brothers stayed at Yang Huazhong's house for more than an hour before saying goodbye and leaving.
Lao Yangtou asked Yu Xingkui to call Yang Yongqing over overnight.
When Yang Yongqing came over, he was kicking his shoes with his bare feet and looked unhappy.
"You've already washed your feet and gone to bed, why did you call me here again? Is there anything you can't talk about tomorrow during the day?"
He started to complain as soon as he entered the door, but found that in the hall, Lao Yangtou, Yang Huazhong, Sun Shi, and Yang Ruoqing were all looking at him with smiles, as if he was a rare treasure.
Yang Yongqing subconsciously hugged his shoulders and said nervously: "Why are you looking at me like this? Stealing wealth? Or robbing sex?"
Yang Huazhong and Sun were both amused by Yang Yongqing's funny behavior. The smile on Old Yang's face had not gone away, but he had already scolded Yang Yongqing: "You are about to get married, why do you talk so messy? ?”
"Getting married soon? Who is it? Me?" Yang Yongqing pointed at his nose and stared.
"Brother, if it's not you, who else could it be?" Yang Ruoqing asked with a smile.
"Who to marry? Zheng Xiuzhi?" Yang Yongqing asked again.
This time, Yang Ruoqing smiled even more happily, "If it's not Zheng Xiuzhi, who else do you want? Liu E? Or Hei Ya?"
Yang Yongqing waved his hands repeatedly, "Qing'er, please stop teasing me. What's going on? Even if you want to marry Zheng Xiuzhi, you have to let her go first. Who let her take so many people and eat my ten taels of silver in one go!"
Yang Ruoqing said: "Brother, we can't let it go. The woman has already given up."
"Ah? Give up? How do you say this?"
Yang Ruoqing added: "Let me say it. I am the head of our family, and I am the one who made the decision tonight."
Yang Yongqing kicked off his shoes and hurried up to Old Yang. He put his arms on the edge of the table, leaned over and asked Old Yang: "Master, what's going on?"
Old Yang frowned when he saw his anxious look, disheveled clothes, and barefoot shoes.
"Put your shoes on first, then sit down and let me tell you slowly." The old man said.
Yang Yongqing's eyes were crooked and his mouth was crooked. He pulled up a stool and sat down. While putting on his shoes, he vomited: "Master, you were so anxious when you sent Yu Xingkui to call me over, but now you are not in a hurry anymore, you still have to Speak slowly, cut~"
Lao Yangtou and everyone pretended to ignore Yang Yongqing's remarks.
If you try to argue with him every word, then don't let your life pass. Every word and every action he makes is a flaw.
"Yongqing, do you want tea?"
A gentle voice came from the side, it was Mrs. Sun who treated people warmly.
"Don't drink, I just want to listen to things now." Yang Yongqing said without looking back.
Yang Huazhong glanced at Mr. Sun and said, "Don't worry about him. Just sit on your own."
Mrs. Sun smiled tenderly at Yang Huazhong and sat back down. She originally wanted to take the sewing basket and do a few stitches, but she found that Yang Ruoqing was looking at her.
Sun smiled sheepishly and took her hand back.
Her daughter had specifically warned her, more than once, that she was not allowed to do needlework at night as it would hurt her eyes, so Mrs. Sun had to sit quietly and listen to what Old Yang Tou and Yang Yongqing were saying.
"Young boy, it's like this. Tonight, two guests came to the house. They are strangers I have never seen before. They are two brothers, both about the same age as your fourth uncle..."
