Clam Pearl

Gu Zhao is 35 years old this year. Because of his good nutrition and good life, he has a tender face as if he was in his early twenties. This kind of tenderness was immediately defined by the relatives in the countryside as young, with little promise and benefits, so he was not swept away. , and was squeezed into a small corner to watch the excitement, laughing to see Geng Cheng being "attacked" by a group of country women and old men.

It's not that Geng Cheng's family was unprepared, but obviously, his family didn't have a grand wife who had been trained since childhood like Su's, and Gu Zhao's family didn't have such a talent either.

Gu Zhao saw that the slave of Geng Cheng's family was holding a plate of exquisite purses to give a reward, so he grabbed the slave and told him to go down and exchange for the purse prepared by his family.

In his family's purse, there is simply a string of red strings, tied with thirty or twenty copper coins. In Geng Cheng's family's purse, he can think of it, at least one or two silver coins.

I don't want this shed to be trampled down by the whole village, so I should prepare it for my own home.

However, the twenty or thirty yellow tints still had an undeniable attraction, and the shed was quieter when it was surrounded by candles and torches.

Gu Zhao and Feng Shang sat on the side and looked at them with a smile. These country people were all relatives of the Feng family who did not have five clothes. According to his understanding, during Feng Shang's unhappy growing up, these people gave him too much dark feelings. memory.

But now Gu Zhao turned his head to look at Feng Shang again, Feng Shang was smiling, his smile was as gentle as the wind and drizzle, he even turned his head and explained to Gu Zhao in a very pleasant tone, the temple fair is just a lively event, no one comes to the house It's a sign of bad popularity. Everyone, it's to give you face and think highly of you, and it also shows that you are well-liked.

Is that true?Gu Zhao thought about it carefully, Feng Shang's buttocks never moved away from the stool, he never introduced anyone to Geng Cheng, they were all introducing themselves.

He still cares about it!

The chaotic people finally dispersed. Before the banquet, the old owner of the village came upstairs with a group of middle-aged teenagers in scribe shirts to pay respects to Geng Cheng.

The old proprietor had been giving Geng Cheng winks since he went upstairs, and Geng Cheng took a cup to the side of the railing, pretending not to see it.

At this moment, Gu Zhao actually smiled.

The old owner had no choice but to stomp his feet, and came to Geng Cheng with an old face. He first saluted, and then said with a smile: "My lord, these are the seeds of our Yaozhuang Feng's study..." He pulled himself The eldest grandson of the family said: "This is my patriarch's grandson Feng Qi. He and Chang'er are of the same generation. It's not an old man boasting. My grandson is also good at studying. A few days ago, my husband praised him. If you don't believe me, ask him." Chang'er!"

Speaking of this, the old owner suddenly raised his neck and asked Feng Shang loudly: "Shang'er, is that so?"

Feng Shang was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said: "Ah! Mmm! Hehe..." After laughing, he turned his head to watch the excitement again.

The old owner Feng laughed a few times in embarrassment, turned around and continued to sell his grandson to the old nobleman without asking for money, saying how smart he was, how well he read, and how his husband praised him for his promise...

Why didn't he, Feng Shang, make a fortune and not drag his brothers from the same clan?Who doesn't want a noble person to rely on, he dare not think about a large courtyard with three entrances, six large tile-roofed houses, and ten acres of farmland, he is satisfied.

He spitting and boasting for a while, Geng Cheng is not stupid, seeing that Mr. Feng doesn't like it, he won't give this kind of face, just twisting his beard to see, and seeing this old man bragging all the time , he coughed and said: "Oh? Since you have the talent to climb high and win gold medals, this old man wants to test you!"

At this moment, the scene suddenly quieted down. The old owner was taken aback, and seeing his grandson's complexion turned black and red, he felt embarrassed, and said embarrassingly: "It can be done, why can't it be done? Grandson is clever, so who wouldn't boast, if you don't believe me, go ask about it?"

Geng Cheng smiled and looked around. He was a rough man, but he had read books. Although he didn't read much, he could tell a jingle or something. He twirled his beard and looked around. Passing by with mules and horses, another village woman ran home with two old hens, so he said: "Yes! Yu Wufu rides five horses, and the wild woman has two eagles."

Gu Zhao managed to squirt out a mouthful of old blood, but Feng Shang squirted first, and because he felt it was indecent, he had to lie on the railing and cough lowly.

The old owner Feng was stunned for a moment, turned his face to look at his grandson eagerly, and asked him cautiously: "Your honor is out of the Shanglian, do you know it? Do you?"

Feng Qi's face turned red immediately, he bowed his head pretending to be deep in thought, but his heart was troubled and uncomfortable, he said that reading is good, it was really to avoid Shimoda, and he usually said that the master praised him, that was all bragging.

Now that the gentleman from the private school in the village is right behind him, how dare he continue playing, he lowered his head to look at his feet, then Feng Qi suddenly heard a dog barking outside, and when he looked up, he saw a few flies flying on the fruit on the table, With it, he immediately shouted excitedly: "Yes! Sir, I have it!"

His grandfather despised him for being unsteady, so he just slapped him when he went up: "Say it if you have it, what are you calling?"

A few low laughs came from behind, and Feng Qi pretended to take a few steps, and when he looked at the dog's color, he said loudly with confidence: "I'm right! The white dog barks to welcome guests, and the flies to see off guests follow!!"

Everyone upstairs was stunned. For a long time, Gu Zhao laughed and cried while lying on the table.

There was only a bang, and the second floor laughed together. Originally, the old nobleman's upper line was disgusting enough. They didn't dare to laugh and could only hold back. Now that the even more useless second line came out, they couldn't bear it anymore.

Feng Laozhuang was stunned for a while, even if he didn't study, he knew that it was inappropriate, so he gritted his teeth and held a cigarette pipe and pot all over the second floor to beat his grandson.

While laughing, someone yelled at the other end: "Steal God!! Steal God!!!"

The people upstairs immediately leaned on the railing and watched.

Gu Zhao and Geng Cheng both felt that it was rare when they heard the word "stealing gods". Do you understand?

Feng Shang naturally introduced it by his side.

"You two don't know, this line of Qinglong Mountain is dedicated to the Great Mountain God of Guanghui. The twelve villages around us rely on mountains to eat mountains and take advantage of the blessings of the mountain god. A hundred years ago, a high-quality sandalwood tree was born on this Qinglong Mountain. An old man was entrusted by a mountain god in a dream, saying that he was granted Guanghui, and he was guided to the place. The old man woke up the next day, called someone, and followed the guidance of the dream to find this good tree.

So the twelve villages paid together to build the statue of Guanghui Mountain God. At that time, all Zhuangzhuang built mountain temples, and they all wanted to take the mountain god to their own Zhuangzi to worship, and they fought hard for this.Finally, the owners of the Twelve Villages came up with this method, changing the offerings every three years. At first, they carried them during the day, but the old man in the village had a dream again, saying that the mountain god grandpa didn’t want to change places. Grandpa fell asleep and stole the mountain god! "

Gu Zhao blinked his eyes, he and Feng Shang looked at each other, and they laughed.

Geng Cheng looked puzzled, but said seriously: "If I'm an old man, I don't like to move house every now and then, it's so hard!"

Gu Zhao laughed even harder.

While talking and laughing, forty or fifty strong men with bare upper body and red silk waists came downstairs. These strong men lined up and came downstairs together. They didn't speak, but slapped their chest vigorously. Because of the beating all the way, the chests of these people were all red from the beating.

Under the torch of the lantern, this neat and enthusiastic force and rhythm made Gu Zhao and others dizzy, and the chest began to burn like a fire.

"Okay!" Gu Zhao shouted out loud.

Geng Cheng was even more so, he waved his hand vigorously and said, "Come here, reward me!"

Several baskets of copper coins had been prepared down there, and upon hearing Geng Cheng's offer of rewards, someone carried the baskets and poured the money out from the pocket on the second floor. Under the torch, a yellow-orange ribbon appeared , There was even the sound of money falling into treasure.

In the air, an old man yelled loudly: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

The burly men roared in response: "Hey! Hey!" They began to stamp their feet hastily, and slapped their chests more vigorously!

The smacking was like adding strong oil to the night torch, and the heavy stomping was like an earthquake, and the building was startled and shook a little.

Gu Zhao was also very excited, and he also waved: "Okay! Reward!"

Another basket of copper coins poured out...

Gu Zhao and the others dumped six baskets of copper coins one after another in this building, and the performances below were already crazy. In the end, even the jade pendants, sachets, and fan bags on his body, Gu Zhao and his elder brother were about to take off their clothes again. Go out, the excitement will stop now.

The strong men who stole the gods walked away from Zhuangzi with low steps, and when the teeth cracked there, they began to sing a big show, and Gu Zhao and the others held a banquet in this building.

The banquets in the village are different from those in the city. The banquets are all big bowls, large platters, whole chickens, ducks, and sheep heads...

Gu Zhao held an empty bowl, and chased his elder brother all over the world to feed him. Finally, he was full. Before he had eaten two chopsticks, Geng Cheng wanted to play again. Gu Zhao was worried about others, so he had to let him go. Chopsticks, followed again.

At this time, Feng Shang stood up, and said with a smile: "I said you, you are actually worrying about it, aren't they here? If not, let the two of my family follow along and take them to the back to watch the fun ,what do you think?"

Gu Zhao thought for a while, then smiled reassuringly, "I'm afraid they won't be able to stop him, you know my brother is very strong."

Feng Shang shook his head with a smile: "What does this have to do with strength? The old man is like a child now. Children, coax, follow, there are fun and delicious things, so naturally it's nothing. There are four in this village tonight. On the stage, there are swing players over there, there are too many things to play, just ask them to play, if you try your best, you can sleep well tonight, won’t you?"

These words reached Gu Zhao's heart, Gu Zhao nodded, ordered Ade to take two strings of money, and gave a few more instructions, lying upstairs and looking at Feng Zhuang, Feng Man took a string of slaves far away After leaving, he calmly picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

After eating for a while, the old proprietor who accompanied the banquet over there couldn't sit still anymore, what should you do, beat the old ancestors to accumulate virtue, since the establishment of this villa, Yaozhuang has never seen Gu Zhao and Geng Cheng so generous rich man.

They also have baskets for dumping money, but that kind of basket is different from this one. Half a basket of snacks must be mixed in a basket of money to be called a basket.

Now this old man dumped six baskets of copper coins without blinking his eyes. The old man was so thoughtful. He squinted and saw that there were at least fifteen baskets full of yellow copper coins waiting for a while. When he came back to reward the nobleman, he couldn't sit still no matter what.

It was only then that he was blinded, and he didn't realize that the tender-faced man was also a nobleman, but now that he saw it, he couldn't let go of this opportunity, so the old owner came over with a cup in his hand to toast with Geng Cheng and Gu Zhao .

The old owner came to toast, according to the rules, Gu Zhao should stand up at such a young age, but all the accompanying guests at the table stood up, but Gu Zhao and Geng Cheng remained motionless, doing what they had to do.

So, the old villain guessed a little more in his heart, and he offered the first cup to Geng Cheng with a smile. Geng Cheng looked at Gu Zhao, Gu Zhao nodded, and then he stood up and drank it. He said hello, and all of them had a drink with him.

The old proprietor's auspicious words flew out in clusters as if he didn't want money, toasted two more glasses in a row, and sang an auspicious country song. Become a godson.Geng Cheng didn't answer, so he said, it's okay to be a grandson!

Naturally, Geng Cheng didn't want to accept his grandson, but he didn't want to. This old man immediately ordered someone to bring his two granddaughters, and he insisted on giving them to the old nobleman as a foot warmer.

Geng Cheng was immediately disgusted, he was about to open his mouth to say something ugly, but he didn't want to, this old man was so kind, he immediately turned around respectfully and wanted to toast Gu Zhao.

Gu Zhaocai still likes the folk customs of this place, but because of such people, he is disgusted in his heart.

The old man held the wine glass with both hands, and Gu Zhao waved his hands and said, "Thank you, old man. When I came out, my family said that drinking is not allowed. I will replace the bar with tea here."

After Gu Zhao finished speaking, Ade hurried over with a cup of tea. Gu Zhao took it, and the hand with his buttocks not off the stool shook the cup in the air, and then touched his lips with the tea cup, and that was it.

He is already giving a lot of face, there is only one person in this world who can make him stand up, and most of the time, that person stands up more, and he has to pay a whole load of good words, Gu Zhao may be rewarded with a face when he is happy , have a few cups.

Gu Zhao doesn't like drinking, and he also hates alcoholics. In addition, he has something on his mind, and he is afraid that drinking alcohol will cause trouble, so he suppresses himself, and Zhao Chunrun is rare when Gu Zhao is drunk. Things like wine are plotting against each other in private, of course, Zhao Chunrun regards it as a small interest in life, but Gu Zhao has really suppressed himself for 15 years.

The old owner was also a local snake in his life, and it was the first time he was repeatedly slapped in the face so nakedly, so he became annoyed and ashamed, and his words were a little harsh.

"Hey! Brother, you, you... You are not suitable for this! The old man is also very old, and the family has five generations under the same roof. I dare not say anything else. The old man also has a turtledove staff that was awarded by the court. Brother, it’s not an old man talking about you, I’m at this age, and I’m talking to your grandpas... Don’t talk! Don’t talk! Hey! This is to look down on our peasant family and despise us for being dirty..."

As soon as these words came out, the people who accompanied the banquet on the second floor were all prominent members of the Feng family, so everyone's face was a little bit ugly.

That's right, this old man is a bit snobbish, but he is old anyway, it's really your fault for insulting people like this.The two gentlemen who taught in this village also watched with cold eyes, shaking their heads again and again.

Disrespecting the elderly was a big hat in ancient times.

Gu Zhao didn't say a word, smiling, he should eat and drink.He didn't care, but Geng Cheng couldn't get used to it for a long time. He put down his wine glass, stretched out his hand and pulled the lapel of the old manor owner's clothes to bring it to him, threatening through gritted teeth:

"I'm talking about old things, and you're not a good bird! You're a pervert, and you're only looking at the wall, so I think you're wrong, what? You are not tall, what are you in terms of seniority?

Give you face, does that count as your ancestors' merit?Eating your wine is smoke from your ancestral grave, but now I don't eat yours, how do you treat it?Rely on the old and sell the old again, be careful not to break your grandfather's stick for you! "

These words echoed on the second floor without any concealment, and everyone was frightened for a moment.

Feng Shang couldn't see it well, so he hurried up to stop him, bowing and bowing again and again, this guy is not a good thing, and finally he knelt down for Gu Zhao.

The meal was too much to eat, so Gu Zhao held back his chopsticks, and Ade quickly led someone to bring a copper basin, a silk handkerchief, and mouthwash, and they came up in a row.

The people upstairs watched Gu Zhao rinse his mouth, wash his hands, wipe his hands, dry his hands, and then he went through the scene in a slow manner.

After finishing his busy work, Gu Zhao said: "Forget it, I don't know if it's not a crime. Besides, he's getting old and confused. He's also the owner of the villa. I don't think he's clear-headed. Who is that? Feng strong?"

Feng Chang froze, what is this going to do?

Ade said with a smile on the side: "Master, the young master will take the master to play here, have you forgotten?"

Gu Zhao patted his forehead: "Uh, by the way, I'm too confused! In this way, let's forget about the relationship, give me a thin face and don't embarrass Mr. Feng, who is that... If there is a master in this village, come and give me two Seeing off guests, it’s so exciting once every three years, don’t lose your interest, this is not a family paying for it! Folks from all over the world are watching, it’s not a good thing to lose face, this is the face of the young and old in Yaozhuang, isn’t it? ?

To tell you the truth, I have been sick all the time. I am taking medicine and avoiding alcohol, and I didn’t explain clearly. I am really sorry for treating the elderly poorly! "

Gu Zhao originally wanted to make things difficult for others, but when he saw Feng Shang, he immediately thought that this is a clan society, they patted their butts and left, and Feng Shang's family will still live here.

Gu Zhao was trying to save face here, but he didn't think that the old manor owner would really rely on his old age to grow old. He felt his face was burning hot, and he was really confused in his heart. He didn't dare to offend the nobleman, but he was not afraid of Feng Shang.

In this way, the old thief looked left and right, stretched out his hand from the mat over there, took his turtledove stick, and hit Feng Shang on the head!
