Bringing gifts is something you have to think carefully about.
As a son-in-law, I haven't gone home to visit Shen Kang for a long time.
It's no wonder that Shen Kang doesn't like him. His eight brothers-in-law all have high emotional intelligence. It's only strange that he doesn't fawn over his father-in-law and doesn't get scolded.
What's more, in the past six months or so, Shen Kang has calculated that he has a limited number of times, regardless of whether it is because of his conscience, or because he is afraid that he will smash the mahjong machine, or because he is afraid that he will become a scholar and say bad things in front of the county magistrate.
In short, Shen Kang kept a low profile.
Now that the other side is fine, I can't hold back, just for the sake of my wife.
Yu Tiance lay on the bed, eating steamed buns: "Madam, how do you like the portrait I gave you?"
ah?
When Shen Jing heard this, her eyes lit up.
Shen Kang wanted portraits from the very beginning.
She mentioned it to her husband several times, and he agreed, but every time when something was to be done, either her father or her husband would always cause some trouble.
"Do you still have scrolls at home?"
"There is one!"
Shen Jing ran to the cabinet by the wall and took out a new scroll and cloth tube: "Lang Jun, if you want to paint, make your father look younger!"
Relying on his memory and Shen Jing's guidance, Yu Tiance drew a portrait of Shen Kang in a short time.
It cannot be said that they are exactly the same, but they are also lifelike.
Shen Jing couldn't help but raise her thumb and said happily: "Mr. Lang, the painting is really like it. Whenever you draw a Bodhisattva, hang it in our house. It can also ward off evil spirits."
Painting a Bodhisattva?
Um!
Shen Jing nodded and looked around cautiously: "Lang Jun, when I got up at night yesterday, I vaguely felt someone following me behind me, but when I looked back, there was nothing. After entering the house, looking through the moonlight, there seemed to be someone outside the window. shadow……"
Hahaha!
Yu Tiance is a staunch atheist.
China has fought countless battles for thousands of years, and there are dead people everywhere. If there are ghosts, wouldn't it mean that there are ghosts everywhere?
"Madam, you've been tired for a while, it's my fault. Don't scare yourself by thinking about those illusory things, ghosts don't exist. Besides, there is Chen Qing at home, that old virgin, who has a lot of yang energy, who is floating around? Dare you get close?"
"What is a virgin? Doesn't exist?"
…
In the evening, Chen Qing was looking after the house, and Yu Tiance brought Shen Jing to the Shen house.
The eight brothers-in-law are really good at flattering horses.
I heard that they came at noon and helped Shen Kang here all afternoon, just to receive the county magistrate.
Shen Kang did not scold Yu Tiance, but just rolled his eyes: "You still know how to come? You really look good, but you have a lot of thoughts! You came early to work, right? You are the only smart one!"
Um?
This is really not nice to say.
Shen Jing stood aside and grabbed Yu Tiance's hand: "Lang Jun, suppress your anger. We are already late, so it's normal."
Not long after...
Shen Kang took his two wives, nine daughters, son-in-law, and more than forty servants and maids from the Shen family to greet Zeng Yu.
The banquet will be held in the main hall of the Shen family.
A bronze mirror was placed on each candle cabinet. Oil lamps were placed in front of the bronze mirror, and the main hall was brightly lit.
There were only five people sitting on the oversized round table.
Shen Kang and his two wives, the county magistrate Zeng Yu and his housekeeper.
My daughter and son-in-law are all juniors and cannot serve at the table.
Shen Kang picked up a jar of wine and said with a smile: "Sir, I have wanted to visit you for a long time, but you are busy with official duties, and I have not had a glass of wine with you after waiting for a year. Today, I will drink three glasses first to express my gratitude. apology."
Shen Kang had connections in Beijing and Chang'an.
But the county magistrate is not as good as taking charge now. If the county magistrate is unhappy and forces him to distribute the land, he will not dare to disobey and must be in favor.
For the fourth cup, Zeng Yu raised the cup.
After three rounds of drinking, we chatted happily.
Shen Kang asked the maid to make a pot of tea and served it to the two of them.
Yu Tiance gave him the purified wine.
It seems that he also gave some tea, but he didn't pay attention to it, and now he doesn't know where it went.
Could it be that this is the tea?
Zeng Yu couldn't help but close his eyes and feel the fragrance.
"Mr. Shen, what kind of tea is this? Why is it so fragrant?"
Haha~
Shen Kang smiled slightly, his goal was achieved.
When he first asked Yu Tiance, the son-in-law told him that it was called the love of a hundred thousand girls, and what about licking the leaves with the tip of his tongue, dancing first, laying flat, and then reciting poems. The breasts and buttocks should not be too small...
This time the county magistrate asked, "You don't dare lie to your parents and officials, do you?"
He had planned it, and Yu Tiance silently wrote down the method of making it. Then, if he planted ten hectares of land to grow tea, he would become the richest man in Dayu.
"Lord Magistrate, listen to me..."
Shen Kang told Zeng Yu exactly what Yu Tiance had said when he deceived him, and ended by saying, "Sir, these words were said by the ninth son-in-law Tiance. This is a craft passed down from his ancestors."
Hahaha!
Listening to Shen Kang's description, Zeng Yu laughed heartily.
What does dancing, poetry reciting, high mountains, big breasts and butts, virginity, and good looks have to do with growing tea?
"You, son-in-law, are really good at deceiving people!"
Zeng Yu turned around and said with a smile: "Tiance, how do you make this tea?"
Just before, Yu Tiance was ready to tell Shen Kang.
He really didn't want to keep it. As a time traveler, he had one idea a day. Tea leaves would have to be eliminated sooner or later, so he might as well just say it.
Unexpectedly, Shen Kang would use this method and find the county magistrate to force him to reveal the method.
In this case, things will change in nature!
"Father-in-law, I forgive my son-in-law for lying to you. The tea I gave you for the first time was made by drying the leaves I drank and frying it in a pot."
Well……
Shen Kang's smile gradually solidified.
Did you drink the leaves, fry them in a pot and give them to me?
Damn, are you treating your father-in-law like this?
Can't you choose to soak the new leaves and then fry them in a pot?
But the county magistrate is here, and it's hard for him to curse.
"Sir, the tea I gave my father-in-law later was fresh leaves bought by students from a tea shop. They were fried directly in the pot. The aroma was locked in the leaves, so it tasted more intense than sun-dried tea."
WTF?
When Shen Kang heard this, his face turned dark.
He had learned the skill after thinking about it every day, and it turned out to be just ordinary leaves, fried and dried in a pot!
This son-in-law is treating him like a donkey!
Shen Kang couldn't bear it anymore and started to protest.
"Lord County Magistrate, I beg you to educate this rogue who doesn't respect his elders! You should also be more careful with him. This kid seems to be honest, but he is very scheming! One fart, eight panic!"
ah?
Shen Jing's face turned pale instantly.
The person sitting next to me is the parent official of Xinfeng County. How could my father talk like this?
Doesn't this make the county magistrate have a different view of Lang Jun?
"Dad, what are you talking about? How can Mr. Lang be so scheming?"
"Shut up……"
At this time, Shen Kang's face was red to his neck.
As the largest tycoon in the north city of Xinfeng County, he has been treated like a donkey by his son-in-law for a year. How can he bear this?
"This Biaozi, he..."
However, Shen Kang didn't finish his words.
Yu Tiance curled his lips, bowed and said: "Father-in-law, since you are unkind, don't blame your son-in-law for being unjust!"
