Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 123 The Ridiculous Aftermath

Chapter 120 IX The Ridiculous Aftermath

Two hours passed, and the old Liang came out of the east room. The first thing he did was to summon the old Liang's family to the dining hall. Jinxi originally wanted to go with him to the dining hall to hear the results, but Mrs. Tan stepped in and told Mrs. Sun Go prepare dinner, this is the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, and tomorrow is the New Year's Eve.Jin Xi was worried that Mrs. Sun would take care of the meals of such a large family by herself, so she entrusted Jin Rou with the important task of listening in, and then went to work in the kitchen with Mrs. Sun.

This dinner was unusually peaceful, no one said much, and when they returned to the West Room after dinner, Jin Xi couldn't wait for Jin Rou to repeat it without missing a word.

"My lord said, pretend it never happened. From now on, everyone in the family will have to clean up that passage, and whoever mentions a word will be kicked out of the house!" Jin Rou imitated the tone of old Liang Tou, road.

"I know this part, my master said that the other day, hey, did my master say what to do with the marriage with the Hong family? Did you call off the engagement?" Jin Xi asked.

"My lord said, this marriage cannot be withdrawn, and the Hong family will definitely not agree!" Jin Ju said.

Jin Xi nodded, there is no doubt about it, her belly is big, no matter if it is her son's or Lao Tzu's, a fool would not call off the engagement!
"Then the second uncle asked, should I let the uncle Hong come in as a concubine? At that time, the master hit the second uncle hard with a cigarette stick and scolded him for spraying shit! He said that if he really wanted to come in and be a concubine, then It's like telling the world about our family's scandal!" Jin Ju said.

"My lord's concern is justified. Then, if you don't cancel the engagement, and you can't repay it to the uncle, is it possible that you still have to give the Hong family to Brother Lihui?" Jin Xi was surprised.

"Well, the wedding took place as scheduled."

"Then, the child in Hong's stomach..."

"My grandfather said, that child belongs to Brother Li Hui, no one is allowed to guess," Jin Ju said.

Jin Xi stroked her forehead, this is called 300 taels of silver here, right?He asked again: "Then Brother Lihui is still willing to marry?"

Jin Rou smiled and nodded, Jin Xi was dumbfounded, is Liang Lihui a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle?He was shocked by the news that day and went into shock. Did he figure it out again in the past few days?Jin Xi shook her head, no normal man would want Hong Shi again!
Could it be that the conversation in the old Liangtou's east room made Liang Lihui's ideological work clear?That old Liangtou's courage is too strong, what he did with this action is really ridiculous. Although this matter has been suppressed for the time being, the root of the disaster is not only not eradicated, it is only the beginning, and there will definitely be more chaos in the future Some old Liang heads are worried!
Liang Lihui is not an ordinary person, no, it should be said that the old Liang family is not an ordinary person, including the Hong family who is about to marry, they are all top-notch!

....................................................................................

Jin Xi was still asleep when she was woken up by the continuous sound of firecrackers outside the window.Sitting up on the quilt, she glanced out of the window, it was dimly lit, and Jinrou woke up, rubbing her eyes and yawning, the place where Mrs. Sun had been lying was empty, and there was the sound of cooking from the stove above.

"Rou'er, my sister will help you get dressed. Mother told me to get up early today and have breakfast early. In the morning, my family will go to the mountain to burn incense." Jin Xi said as she quickly dressed herself. The clothes on his body, and went to the foot of the bed to find Jinrou's cotton clothes.

According to what Jinxi heard from Liang Yuzhong, the ancestors of the old Liang family lived in Husong County, and Husong County and Wanghai County were under the same jurisdiction of Qing'an Prefecture.

The Liang family in Husong County is distantly related to the Liang family in Anding. The Liang family in Anding is a well-known family in the Yue Kingdom. Human beings cannot carry forward that glory.

Because they are distant relatives, the Liang family in Husong County has been taken care of to some extent, and they have become a big family in Husong County. The family has a big business, and the children of the family, including side branches like Lao Liangtou, have all been taken care of. opportunity to study.

When Old Liang was ten years old, the Anding Liang family was linked to a serious crime at that time. Followed by damage, caught and paid, the tree fell and the monkeys scattered.

Old Liangtou's house is still a branch of Husong, and the largest family business in the family is a small workshop. It can't be said to be rich, but the small life is very nourishing.Soon the small workshop was also closed by the government for a reason. Old Liangtou's father had no way to appeal and was beaten with a board. After being brought back, he fell ill, and the illness never recovered.
Not long after my father left, my mother also fell ill and died, and my out-married elder sister didn't dare to walk around with her mother's house for fear of being involved.

The family was in decline, and the house was about to be confiscated. Old Liangtou had no money to bury his parents, so he had to sell the last of his belongings and put his parents' coffins in Yizhuang.

Originally, the family wanted Lao Liangtou to study in order to gain fame. In order to make a living, Lao Liangtou came to Wanghai County to make a living.

Old Liangtou has worked in many kinds of jobs, such as a handyman in the restaurant waiter, an errand runner for the accountant, and even a porter at the dock.

Old Liangtou, who was twenty years away, once drove a carriage to take the shopkeeper of a restaurant to Jinji Mountain for business. By the small river at the entrance of the village, the carriage almost hit a rural girl who was carrying a wooden basin to wash clothes.

Old Liangtou inquired about the girl who did the laundry, and learned that she was also an orphan who had lost her parents, living with her elder brother and sister-in-law, and it was very hard.

After returning home, Old Liangtou bought a gift and entrusted a matchmaker to go to the girl's house to talk about marriage. Without him, that girl is Tan Shi.

As soon as Mrs. Tan got married, she gave birth to several sons one after another. At this time, Lao Liangtou relied on the knowledge he had learned when he was young, and diligently studied, and things turned around very quickly. He got the job of knife and pen official in Wanghai County. In terms of position, he stayed for more than 20 years.

According to Jin Xi's analysis, Old Liang's heart is definitely grateful to Mrs. Tan, not only for giving him a complete and lively family, but also for bringing good luck to his career.Therefore, in the next few decades, Lao Liangtou respected Tan Shi very much. He basically didn't interfere in the inner house of Lao Liang's house, and let Tan Shi do whatever he wanted.

However, when Old Liangtou was at its most beautiful, at the request of Mrs. Tan, he bought fields and houses in the Jinji Mountain area, and went back to Husong County to move his parents who were still in Yizhuang and had not been buried. In the valley behind Jinjishan Village, Husong is a sad place, and Lao Liangtou is determined to live and work in Wanghai from now on.

So, this New Year's Eve, Lao Liangtou will take the men of Lao Liang's family to the valley behind to burn incense at the graves of the two ancestors.

On this day, Lao Liang’s house had two meals, one in the morning and one in the evening for the New Year’s Eve meal. At noon, Jin Xi and Jin Rou ate some snacks in the house to pad their stomachs, and went to the kitchen to eat. The crackling sound of cooking has never stopped, and the three daughters-in-law of Lao Liang's family are busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner in the kitchen.

In the afternoon, Old Liangtou led his children and grandchildren to paint rice paste on the front and back doorframes of the house, pasted Spring Festival couplets, and some paper-cuts of magpies on branches on the door lintels. These bright red things suddenly appeared, All of a sudden, the taste of the new year is thickened.

This is Jinxi's first New Year's Eve since she came to this time and space. Her mood is a bit unspeakable. Ever since her parents divorced, she has never had a happy New Year's Eve. Tian Xidi went home for a reunion, but she stayed in the teacher's dormitory at the school, and spent New Year's Eve dinner alone, sometimes making a cup of sauerkraut noodles.

Now, she is finally no longer celebrating the New Year alone. Here, she has a father, a mother, and a younger sister, Jinrou. There is no closer relative than this.

Before the New Year's Eve dinner, every household blared with crisp firecrackers, and the firecrackers of Lao Liang's house naturally took the lead. Jinxi still had a hidden worry in her heart that such abnormally loud firecrackers would cause trouble sooner or later.

All the dishes of the New Year’s Eve dinner were served, and the meatballs mixed with too much tofu residue undoubtedly disappointed everyone. It’s hard for a smart woman to cook without rice. The meal was the most shabby one in the history of the old Liang family.
Fortunately, the New Year's Eve dinner at Old Liang's family went well, and the daughters-in-law finally agreed to serve dinner tonight.At the dinner table, the father, son and brothers of the whole family also clinked glasses politely, but the atmosphere that filled the dining hall felt suffocating.

Xu Tan was worried that his sons would get drunk and cause trouble, so seeing that the food was almost the same, he hurriedly dispersed the big guys.Liang Yulin went to the village to touch cards with oil on his feet, and the others also went back to their houses.

The custom of keeping the New Year's Eve in the southern part of the Great Moon Kingdom is different from that in the north. The family in the northern part of the country has to watch the New Year's Eve all night without closing their eyes, and cook dumplings in the middle of the night. This is not the case in this area.

Everyone can go to sleep. At midnight, the head of the family gets up and opens the gate, and then sets off a string of firecrackers, commonly known as "opening the door". Fragrant paper, commonly known as 'out of the sky'.

The first day of the Lunar New Year is the Chinese New Year, and it is also the first day to visit relatives in the first lunar month in this area. Generally, the whole family chooses the first day of the first lunar month, and the whole family goes to pay New Year's greetings to the eldest mistress's natal home.

Tan's natal family is in Jinjishan Village, and her parents have long since disappeared. She grew up with her elder brother and sister-in-law, who married Tan to Lao Liangtou in the first place, and then packed up and saluted. He left Jinjishan Village with his child and went to other places to do business. There has been no news for decades, and the Tan family basically has no natal family.

Therefore, on the first day of the first lunar month, Lao Liang's family stayed at home, and the second day of the first lunar month was also a day to visit relatives, but those relatives who were visited had to have a funeral a year ago, so this day is celebrated in the local dialect. It's called 'New Year's greetings to the dead! '

Looking at all the relatives of the old Liang family, there was no one who passed away a few years ago, but no one was found. Therefore, the whole family of the old Liang family continued to stay at home on the second day of the new year, and even Liang Yulin was inconvenient to go there today. People in the village draw their cards.
