After the big fool gets married

Wu Xuan went to the main room with the pot, and Doudou took two plates of meat rolls.

After putting it on the table, the two went back to the kitchen to get other dishes.

Tan Yan looked at the gurgling and steaming pot, and said, "A Jin, I envy them very much."

"Envy what?"

"There is no need for a cook and a maid, but two people cook by themselves. Such an ordinary life of ordinary people looks very warm." Tan Yan supported his chest with his hands, his face full of longing.

Gu Jin subconsciously shook the folding fan in her hand, then swiped it away again, "Maybe we can try."

"Really?" Tan Yan suddenly became excited.

"It's just a hot pot, so what's the problem!" Although he spoke with confidence, Gu Jin was actually quite empty in his heart, after all, he had never been in the kitchen before.

Wu Xuan came in with two large wooden plates, one was meat and meatballs and vermicelli, and the other was all kinds of fresh vegetables.

Tan Yandao: "It's really rare to have such fresh dishes in October."

Wu Xuan didn't explain either, and put the plates one by one on the table.

The four of them ate a hot pot warmly, and Tan Yan was full of praise, "The taste is really good, much better than the hot pot we usually eat. And this pot is also convenient, and it saves money for the servants." Burn the stove on one side."

Wu Xuan said: "There is still an unused charcoal pot at home, I gave it to Brother Tan."

"This—" Tan Yan felt a little embarrassed.He had already taken Wu Xuan's pile of marinade buns, and had another meal with the cheek, and now he even had to take the pot with him, this way of acting was too thick-skinned.

"Thank you, Brother Wenxuan!" Gu Jin cupped his hands at Wu Xuan, and accepted the blame for Tan Zhuo.

"In order to thank Brother Wenxuan for his generosity, Gu can tell you about a major event in the court. I wonder if Brother Wenxuan has anything you want to ask?"

Wu Xuan didn't expect that a pot could bring unexpected joy, he asked: "Which adult is the chief examiner?"

Gu Jin originally thought that Wu Xuan would ask about the rumored old Feng Ge incident, but he didn't expect Wu Xuan to be so pragmatic and ask the examiner directly.

"The chief examiner was appointed by His Majesty before the examination, and there are still four months before the examination. No one dares to speculate on the holy will." When Gu Jin said this, the topic changed, "However, the chief examiner of the examination must be A highly respected court official."

"Both Du Chuanchen and I will take part in the general examination, so my father and Mr. Du Ge will definitely not be the main examiners. As for Mr. Feng Ge, he probably won't be able to make it to the general examination. Therefore, only the chief assistant of the cabinet, Yan Yan, is left. Elder Ge. Although Elder Yan Ge seldom goes to court, it is no problem to assume the title of chief examiner of the examination."

Wu Xuan raised his head and glanced at him, "Young Master Gu really doesn't treat us as outsiders."

I didn't dare to guess the holy meaning just after I said the previous sentence, but the next sentence directly guessed the holy meaning thoroughly.He also blatantly said that Mr. Feng Ge would not last until next year.

And what he said later clearly put Gu Shangshu and several elders together. The implication was that Gu Shangshu would soon replace Feng Ge and take over the cabinet.

"Gu is sincere and sincerely wants to get along with the two of you." Gu Jin glanced at Doudou, then shifted his gaze to Wu Xuan.

Wu Xuan was covered in goosebumps from his hypocritical eyes.

After a meal, Tan Yan took the charcoal pot and stewed hot pot base from Wu Xuan, and the white porcelain vase with flower arrangement from Doudou, and left in large and small bags.

Wu Xuan took a melon at random, peeled it and cut it into small pieces, put it on a plate for Doudou to eat.

"Doudou, why are you deliberately getting close to us, Gu Jin?"

Doudou said: "Maybe it's because of my mother? But—"

Wu Xuan asked: "Doudou, if your mother comes from a wealthy family in the capital, and they want to admit you back, what shall we do?"

Doudou shook her head: "No way. If my mother was really from a prominent family, how could she be living in Wujia Village to marry my father. Besides, you have checked these days, and there are no high-ranking officials in the capital with a family name." Yuan'."

Wu Xuan pierced a piece of melon with the dagger in his hand and put it in his mouth.It is true that there is no one with the surname Yuan now, but the chief minister of the cabinet 20 years ago was called Yuan Chun.

-

A few days later, Wu Xuan received letters from his hometown, one was written by Wu Wenshou and the other was written by Wu Wentao.

Wu Wenshou wrote in a letter that his daughter-in-law Liu Zhaodi was pregnant, and the doctor told her to rest and not move, so he couldn't come to the capital for the time being.After three months, when the child is stable, they will come again.

Wu Xuan wrote back to congratulate him, and said that there is no need to rush to the capital, and there is no rush to open a new shop.

Anyway, Wu Xuan doesn't rely on the shop to make money.

Wu Wentao's letter was written more elegantly. He greeted him decently before getting to the point.He said that Chief Luo Shan was relieved and willing to marry his daughter to him, and now he is entrusting a matchmaker to discuss marriage matters.

Wu Xuan also congratulated him, and mentioned that he and Doudou would go home to celebrate the New Year at the end of the twelfth lunar month. If there is anything they need to bring back, please write to let them know.

The next day, Wu Xuan went to Wuyan Pavilion.Wuyan Pavilion can help people send letters and transport them directly with books.From Beijing to Dingshan County, it takes three or four days at the fastest time.

After posting the letter, Wu Xuan started shopping in the bookstore.The Wuyan Pavilion in the capital city is much larger than the one in Dingshan County. Wu Xuan picked some books while shopping and picked them up to read.

There are many students in the bookstore, and many of them speak with foreign accents, and they are inseparable from next year's exam. It is obvious that they are coming to Beijing to catch up for the exam.

There are still four months before the exam, but many students from wealthy families and long distances come to the capital early in order to avoid the hard work in winter.Some people also came to the capital ahead of time in order to make contacts, visit relatives and friends and so on.

Wu Xuan couldn't help but rejoice that Dingshan County was close to the capital, otherwise he would have to ride a horse-drawn carriage on the road for a month or two if it wasn't for the current traffic conditions.

Wu Xuan bought a box of books and went home to study hard behind closed doors for two months.

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Wu Wenshou took Liu Zhaodi to the capital.

Wu Xuan said: "I wrote you about buying a shop in the letter, just to let you be prepared and plan ahead. I didn't mean to urge you to come to the capital."

Wu Wenshou smiled honestly, "Everything at home has been taken care of, and I planned to come over in a few days."

He carefully helped Liu Zhaodi out of the carriage, looked at the shop in front of him, "Brother Hall, this shop is too big!"

Wu Xuan led them inside, "The warehouse in the backyard is bigger."

Sure enough, Wu Wenshou gasped, and exclaimed, "Brother Hall, you didn't say in your letter that the warehouse is so big. This, this, this, this is half an acre of land!"

Wu Xuan led them around the warehouse a few times, pointed to the small corner door next to the warehouse and said, "There is a small yard over there. Although it is not big, everything is complete."

Wu Wenshou went to look at it and was very satisfied, "It's bigger than the yard we lived in Dingshan County. The capital is very expensive, so it's great to have such a big house."

Moreover, Wu Xuan even prepared furniture such as pots and pans, so they can move in and live there.

Wu Xuan and Wu Wenshou moved all the things on the carriage into the house and put them away. Liu Zhaodi deftly cooked two dishes for their lunch.

Wu Wenshou briefly talked to Wu Xuan about the family affairs, and finally mentioned Wu Wentao's marriage.

"Originally, Luo Shan let go, saying that he was willing to let his daughter marry. But after the matchmaker came to propose a marriage, he made another condition. He didn't want his daughter to marry in the village, and wanted Brother Tao to buy a house in the city. From now on, we will live in the city so that the two families can take care of each other."

Wu Xuan said: "What is Wen Tao thinking?"

"Brother Tao probably wants to marry Miss Luo, but the family can't afford that much money for a while."

Wu Xuan asked again: "What does my uncle mean?"

"I heard that Lizheng wants to sell the land. Sell the ten mu of land in the village, and if you collect some more, you can buy a small yard in the county." Wu Wenshou looked at Wu Xuan's expression when he said this, " Brother Hall, our shop has earned a lot of money this year, and we can set aside some of it for Brother Tao—”

"Has Wen Tao looked for you?"

"I never looked for me." Wu Wenshou said, "Only one time, when I met him in the city, I asked him if the marriage was settled, and he only revealed a few words. The rest, I heard from people in the village. of."

"You bastard! Why didn't you tell me if something happened!" Wu Xuan said.Fortunately, he later wrote a letter to Wu Wentao, asking if there was anything he needed to bring back from the capital.Wu Wentao didn't come back, he thought that kid was too busy getting married and got dizzy, so he didn't have time to pay attention to him.

Calling him big cousin really treats him as an ordinary cousin?

Wu Xuan patted the table, "No, I have to go back!"

Wu Wenshou stood up, "When will we go back, how about we—"

Wu Xuan pressed his shoulders, "Don't worry about it, just spend a few days with your wife and rest. The layout of the shop in front will be greatly changed. You have to think about where to demolish, where to add furniture, etc. There is also a shop. Let’s see what to do with the leftover food.”

Wu Wenshou said: "Brother Hall, are you going back alone?"

Wu Xuan thought for a moment, "I'm with Doudou." He was worried about leaving Doudou alone in the capital.

Wu Wenshou said: "Brother Hall, use my carriage! The wheels have been specially modified according to the method you said, and they are not bumpy at all. My mother has laid thick cushions in the carriage, so it is absolutely comfortable and warm."

Wu Xuan nodded, and drove the carriage back home, buying some Beijing-style pastries on the way.

As for the other New Year's goods, they have already been bought in advance and placed in Yu Peili, and they plan to return to Wu's Village at the end of the month to bring them to the uncle.

After returning home, Wu Xuan and Doudou talked about Wu Wentao, and they decided to leave early tomorrow morning.
