Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 427;
Chapter 420 nine;
Seeing the old man speak, Li Yu raised his head and looked at the old man above him, wanting to make some jokes to ease his nervousness;

"Don't dare to hide from my old master, my grandnephew is lazy and delicious, because my legs became sleepy after sitting for a long time, so I looked for Secretary Lu Ban, and after careful consideration, I made this Taishi chair and Eight Immortals table, so I let go of my legs and feet.

And because of the desire for tongue and tongue, I fumbled to form iron pot delicacies, so that I can enjoy them in different ways. I think life is not easy, and one should enjoy life to the fullest.

For men, Wu can fight on the battlefield, make contributions to serve the court, Wen can govern the country, make suggestions to stabilize one side, teach the people under the rule, learn the classics of the saints, and go to the next level.

These are the outside, and the inside should teach the children and grandchildren, set an example, be the pillar of the family, and the center of the wives, concubines and children.

For those who are daughters, abide by the female training, after adult marriage, dominate the backyard to determine the status, supervise the order, care for the husband and teach the children, and then in addition to these, you can also pursue other beautiful things,
For example, eating, drinking, and lassing are common things that everyone can't avoid. Such eating, drinking, and enjoying will become the theme of future events. The boy is stupid and nonsense, which makes the old master laugh. "

When Li Yu was speaking, everyone in the main hall was thinking, only the old man at the head kept nodding his head, and when Li Yu finished speaking, the old man spoke;

"It's all about the truth, it's fair and aboveboard, although it's much more straightforward, but it can make people understand the meaning of the words, especially for the illiterate people, the true temperament in the words is even more precious.

For scholars, it is right to learn from the knowledge of sages and educate the world as a link between the past and the future, but for the common people in the world, the most important thing is to have a full stomach. For those who can eat well, how to eat delicious food That's the top priority.

For food, clothing, housing and transportation, first put on clothes to cover the shame, and the first thing left is to eat. I can understand a thing or two about enjoying life when you say it.

Your iron pot food is a matter of great merit to the people of the world. Don't look at this old man who is almost [-] this year. I can't miss that kind of stir-fry. Yes, of course you have to do whatever you want. "

Li Yu was a little shocked by the old man's open-minded character. As a respected old man in the Confucian school, he spoke indifferently. He was even more interesting and had a cheerful personality.

For a moment Li Yu didn't know how to answer, Yan Shigu looked a little embarrassed, so he answered;
"Nephew, you don't have to worry about it. I, Aye, have always had a temperament of doing whatever I want. I think about everything more openly. You may not be used to it, nephew. You will be fine with it."

Before Li Yu had time to nod his head, the white-haired old man began to teach him a lesson with a displeased face;
"Isn't it good to do whatever you want? How many times has the old man said that reading should be done in a casual way, and you can't just read it dead. Which one of you has heard what the old man said. A group of people are all reading according to the books of sages. Is it useful?

You idiot, if patriarch Li read the Luban secret scriptures to death, how would he make this grand master's chair?
If it wasn't for the face of the old man last year, how much money could you have collected in the Wuliangye business?

By the way, let's talk about this, today, Cangbu Division exchanged money for wine and sold it for three days, did you participate in the disposal? "

The second generation of the Yan family lowered their heads when they lost their temper, and when they asked questions at the end, Yan Shigu hurriedly opened his mouth;
"Going back to Aye, I'm going. There are too many people going today. We have queued up. It won't be until half past midnight. The servants are all waiting in the imperial city."

"Well, it's a pity that today's lunch is late, so I have to bring it back early, so that I can entertain distinguished guests, and the old man can eat two more bites to satisfy his hunger."

After the old man finished speaking, he smashed it a few times, as if he was really after the aftertaste of Wuliangye, Li Yu hurriedly said;
"I would like to report to the old master, when the nephews and grand-nephews came, there were a hundred catties of high-class immortals drunk in the chariot and horses, a total of ten jars, dedicated to honoring the elders, and the old master please accept it."

"Oh? But it was given to me?"

Li Yumo could only carefully nod his head and repeat;
"Hui Yan Master's words are just to honor you."

Li Yu had a bad premonition, he felt that something was going to happen, because his left eye was twitching violently.

The old man adjusted his sitting posture very casually, slowed down his speaking speed, and said in a frustrating way;

"Okay, this gift is accepted by the old man, and the ancestors said it would not be indecent, so the old man can't bear it. When you, Aye, came to visit the old man, you mentioned that you wanted to marry the old man. At that time, the old man also agreed. down,

As a result, you, Aye, did not wait to come to propose marriage, so you took a step ahead, and today you sent a hundred catties of fine wine, so it should be regarded as a betrothal gift. "

The old man shook his head and spoke, and Li Yu also shook his head lightly. When the old man finished speaking in return, Li Yu quickly expressed his gratitude;
"The boy sends good wine to respect the elders, and the old master gives gifts back. There is a saying that the elders dare not refuse the gift, and the boy dare not refuse it, so follow the old master..."

Ok?Li Yu suddenly realized that the gift was a big living person, Li Yu didn't know how to continue talking, some couldn't cope with the sudden change, this old man didn't follow the normal routine when speaking, turning left and right, it was hard to figure out, The turn was too sharp, Li Yu stammered;
"Master, this... this important marriage, how can it be a joke, this... my nephew thinks that it should be discussed in a long-term..."

Before Li Yu finished speaking, the old man directly interrupted Li Yu's words;

"That's right, it's really a long-term plan. Although Ping's wife is not a big wife, she is still a wife. You really can't be careless. You are right. In the future, the old man will discuss it with your Uncle Qin slowly. It is not difficult for you to repay your filial piety, but it is not difficult." There is no rush."

"No, master, listen to the boy's explanation. Since ancient times, the matter of marriage has been ordered by the parents and the words of the matchmaker. It is too hasty to set a flat wife with these few words... "

The old man looked at Li Yu with a smile on his face;

"Yes, you're right. Parents' orders come first, and matchmaker's orders come second. Both are indispensable. When you, Aye, came to visit this old man, you personally said that you would marry my Yan family.
At that time, you were only in your early nine years old, and the ruffian from the Cheng family was there to testify, and the old man also agreed on the spot. Isn't this the order of your parents?
As for the matchmaker's words, we also have to have them. After all, my Yan family is not an unknown family, so the old man said just now that we should discuss the matchmaker's words with that kid from the Qin family some other day.

You, Aye, have gone, and Longxi is too far away, so it's inconvenient to travel there, and they don't have sex with you there, even if you find an elder from your hometown, it's optional, that kid from the Qin family is... Your Aye's second brother is considered the most respected, and it's reasonable to ask him to discuss your marriage, and it's not out of the box. "

Yan Xiangshi, who is not far away from Li Yu, is the person who is most familiar with Li Yu among everyone present in the main hall today. I was afraid that Li Yu would not understand, so I quickly turned to look at Li Yu and answered the sentence. ;
"The ruffian Cheng that I, Aye, is referring to is your Uncle Cheng, General Cheng, the demon king of the world. He accompanied you, Aye, back then, and we were still present to accompany you at that time~ The previous patriarch of your second room .”

Li Yu has nothing to say this time, well, it's really the fate of his parents, spitting is a nail these days, since Aye came to ask for marriage back then, and he promised, then this matter can't escape even if he wants to Well, obediently agree, but don't be a strong woman with a big waist and a weight of one or two hundred catties.

In his previous life, he had never heard of such a situation before, and he fell in love a long time ago, Li Yu reluctantly nodded in agreement;
"Yes, the grandnephew obeys the elder's arrangement."

The old man with the white beard at the top smiled quite relaxedly;

"The direct daughters of many big families in the world seldom become noble concubines, but there are quite a few ordinary wives. My Yan family doesn't value these false names too much, but when you Aye came to propose marriage back then, you only said that To ask Yan's daughter to get married means to be a flat wife.

On this point, it is fine for my Yan family to give you a daughter from a concubine, but it would not be considered a breach of promise if I gave you a daughter from a concubine, because when you Aye came to propose marriage back then, you didn't explain clearly about the concubines. "

Taking advantage of the gap between the old man's speech and rest, Li Yu quickly interjected;
"Nephews and grandchildren don't care about such direct relatives and concubines. The old master just makes arrangements, as long as he looks decent."

The white-bearded old man chuckled twice;
"You are honest, a fair lady, a gentleman is good, and the old man was young. I know what you are afraid of, so don't worry about it. Although my daughter of the Yan family can't be said to be beautiful, she will not be too annoying. Yes, the face is still passable.

When Aye asked for marriage, after the old man agreed, he also asked about the situation of the children. At that time, there were only three daughters of the Yan family who were not engaged, regardless of the concubines.

Although two of them have not made a public promise of marriage, they have made some verbal agreements with other people's families in private, and it is not convenient to marry you. Later, they added a few daughters in the past few years, one or two years old, two or three. There are also those who are older, but they are far from you, and I am afraid that you will not be able to wait. "

Li Yu didn't want to get a child to go back and coax and take them with him. He would die of a headache, so he quickly accompanied him with a smile on his face;
"It's good to ask the old master to decide everything, but the nephew thinks that there is no need to wait for them to grow up. The age difference is too large, and it is not easy to get along with each other. That's fine, I wonder if it's okay?"

More than a dozen second-generation Yan family children couldn't help laughing when they saw that Li Yusheng was afraid of getting a two- or three-year-old. The white-bearded old man at the top said with a strange expression;

"It's okay to be a little different in age. For a child of two or three years old, you can do whatever you teach her. Isn't that good?"

Li Yu didn't look up at the old man's face, just lowered his head and thought, don't get her a two or three-year-old doll. Hearing this now, he was really afraid of something, so he quickly raised his head to answer;

"Old Master Qi, this... this is fine, but the nephews and grandchildren have nothing to say about this important marriage, it's all up to the elders to decide.

It's just that the nephew and grandson are still children, and if they want to take care of another child, that... there is no experience to talk about. I'm afraid it won't work well, so I ask the old master to check the details. "

The white-bearded old man heard what Li Yu said about the child taking care of the child, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help laughing;
"Hahahaha, it's not good for you to be the patriarch at this age, you are too young to speak and do things, and it will be almost the same in 20 years.

What do you mean the one left before, if it wasn't for the promise the old man made, my daughter of the Yan family would still be left, and I don't know how many people rushed to propose marriage? "

Li Yu was too embarrassed to be caught talking on the spot, and responded with a blushing face and lowered head;
"After all, my grandnephew is too young and speaks out loud. Please forgive me, old master. Please forgive me."

"Who didn't have a young age, it's not a big mistake, no crime."

"Thank you, old master, for your forgiveness. On the matter of marrying a wife, nephews and grandchildren can't speak, so please discuss it with my second uncle, master."

"Well, it's okay, it's not too late to talk about this matter in the future, after all, there are still two years to go, so let's talk about the sale of liquor, I will go to get the liquor today, and it will be sold for three days, I'm afraid it will take a few days." Have you publicly discussed the auction with the big players who signed up for it?"

"Returning to the old master, this is exactly the case. At that time, the final decision will be made. The sales rights of each county in the world will be divided. After the counties and counties are divided, the world can be officially sold."

"Well, the old man is also old and can't take care of many things. Although my Yan family has a thousand years of accumulation, when it comes to money, it has a shallow foundation.

As for the new generation of children, which county they can earn, or which county's sales rights, the old man doesn't want to ask, after all, half of their bodies are buried in the soil. Will the future generations be poor or rich?The old man can't take care of many things.

Oh, right!There is one more thing I need to make clear to you, Patriarch Li, that when your previous patriarch came to ask for a wife, he didn't decide whether to ask for a direct daughter or a concubine's daughter. There is a big difference between a concubine and a concubine . "

Li Yu didn't care about these direct openings;
"Returning to the old master, nephews and grandchildren don't care about these things, the old master can make arrangements."

"It's your business that you don't care. You don't need to remind the old man how to deal with things."

"Yes, yes, how dare my nephew and grandson say more, the old master knows the lesson, and my nephew and grandson dare not."

"Well, according to what you said, the remaining unengaged person in my Yan family is about the same age as you, but she is a direct daughter. It's not a big deal to use it to be an equal wife with you, but it's not a real wife after all. As a woman, even the son she will give birth to in the future cannot be called her mother, which is really distressing.

However, the old man has already promised you, Aye, to stay with you as an equal wife. The Li and Yan families want to marry Qin and Jin, so I can't take it into account. I can only rely on my promise. Forget it, it will be cheaper for you Well, a high-class and noble first-line daughter becomes an equal wife, alas...

By the way, Shigu, when you woke up this morning, you talked to the old man about the sale of liquor, and you said that you might not have enough money... The old man is almost eighty, so I don't understand what you mean, I'm afraid I can't do anything.

Why don't you discuss it with Patriarch Li, then the remaining daughter of the Yan family is not your direct relative Qi Xiaoniang, our two families are related by marriage, if you don't have enough money, you can borrow one or two from Patriarch Li and say more Some good obedient, maybe it can be done. "

Li Yu's forehead was full of black lines, looking at the old man with white beard, he kept shaking his head and sighing, saying that he was old and useless...

Looking at the dozen or so uncles, they all looked at him, and the brothers standing behind them also stared at him, Li Yu swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and said it wisely;

"Uncle Qi, I don't know what kind of betrothal gift my nephew wants to ask Yan's direct daughter to be a wife. Otherwise, my nephew will take out the county capital that the Yan family is going to earn this time. Is it okay as a bride price?"

After Yan Shigu heard this, he was full of joy and was about to agree, when the old Aye above him suddenly started to cough, and everyone hurried up, stroking their chests and slapping their backs, doing a lot of work.

Finally, the old man was able to take care of the old man, and the old man supported the children on both sides, and the old voice was full of reluctant words;

"Hey, this little lady Qi was raised in the old man's house since she was a child. She is well-versed in books and polite, she can memorize female training fluently, and her appearance can be regarded as passable.

Now I will be another woman's wife in two years, the old man really can't let go, quickly call that girl over, the old man needs to take a closer look, after marrying as another man's wife, it may not be easy to see again... ..."

"Yes, Ayer."

Yan Shigu agreed, and immediately there was a servant next to him to spread the word. Li Yu looked at the granddaughter whom the old man was reluctant to raise with his own hands, and was extremely moved by his affection. Thinking of the difference between men and women, he quickly stood up;
"Master, men and women have been guarded since ancient times. It is better for nephews and grandchildren to retreat for a while and come back later to listen to the teachings. Please allow me, Master."

"What are you avoiding, this old man is not one of those pedantic people, she will marry you sooner or later, why are you two afraid of meeting each other?

And it's not just the two of you meeting, there are so many elders here, why do you need to avoid it, the old man misses Qi Xiaoniang so much, and wants to take a look at you before talking to you, isn't that all right?
You are the direct disciple of that great Confucianist in Central Sichuan, how can you be so impatient after waiting for your elder for a while? "

Li Yu was so choked that he had nothing to say, it would be very bad if the hat was buttoned off, so he quickly bent down;
"My nephew doesn't dare, my nephew dares not, my nephew just waits patiently, and please forgive me, Master."

Not to mention the scene in the main hall here, but in a side courtyard of the Yan family, a young woman in the jade age was sitting in the house, focusing on her career, a maid rushed in, and gave a blessing after standing still. , then speak;
"Report to my lady, the servant has something to report."

The beautiful woman responded without raising her head;
"Let's talk, what's new, you are in a hurry, presumably there must be some distinguished guest coming, I guess it should be the Duanmu family's brother who came to visit!"
