Chapter 13 Cool Mother
All celebrities must have a little contempt for the world and behave informally in order to show their outstanding temperament and be admired by the world.
Mr. Wu is a contemporary celebrity. Mr. Wu has rejected solicitations from both the old and new dynasties. But Mr. Wu is also a human being. As a human being, he cannot avoid eating all kinds of cereals and being disturbed by the world.
Ahem, who said his whole family isn't all celebrities?
Of course, Mr. Wu's background is still very noble. He is an official and a wealthy family. Of course, it is difficult for ordinary people to raise such a freak. Just like Mr. Wu, he just made a bet with others when he was young.
I said that I would like to have the person of my heart, and we will never be apart. Now I have been to four and five, and I am still single.
For those who don’t know, they say that he enjoyed being single for too many years and didn’t want anyone to care about him. Some people also said that his orientation was a bit crooked. Regarding the former, Mr. Wu reluctantly admitted it, but he died unjustly of the latter. I was the third person in the court.
Is he always a good man? If you don’t believe me, ask his confidante, he is a pure man!
In fact, Mr. Wu's attitude towards marriage is too cautious, so most people can't understand it, and they are unwilling to let his serious girls come and fall in love with him, and those who can fall in love have absolutely no chance of entering the house, so Mr. Wu is
The hardship.
Every year when the New Year comes, my life is miserable and full of misery. For no other reason than being forced to get married!
If possible, Mr. Wu doesn't want to go home to celebrate the New Year. Unfortunately, if you don't go home, everyone else will go home, and who will you be left alone to recite poems and discuss paintings in a romantic way? Even if you are not afraid of loneliness and want to go alone and have a wild life, you have to have it.
Isn’t it a place?
This is not the capital city. During the Chinese New Year, even the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion is closed. Even if you are hungry and want to eat a bowl of Yangchun noodles on the roadside, you can’t find it. What else can you do except go home and squat down? But once
The three aunts, six wives, seven uncles and eight uncles all ran out. I usually can’t catch you, why don’t you talk about it during the Chinese New Year?
Mr. Wu is really sad.
Outside, everyone calls him Sir, and no matter what happens, they call him Brother Ji Shen. But here, he is just Amian, and anyone can call him around. Some even older people have to carry a walking stick.
Knocking on his head, "Ah San, are you stupid in studying? You don't know how to ask for a wife and give birth to a son first!"
Mr. Wu’s single name is Mian, also known as Ji Shen. He is the third eldest child in his family and his nickname is Ah San.
Today is New Year's Eve, and every household has a reunion dinner. The Wu family is a big family, and the male group alone has a total of thirty-two tables.
The rules of this New Year's Eve dinner are to eat from noon to evening, but you can't eat all the time, right? More than 300 people gathered together and had nothing to do but eat. After saying the auspicious words, the elder began to teach the younger one,
The elders began to teach the younger ones a lesson.
And Wu Asan, as the number one remaining male in the family, naturally received the most criticism.
If he were outside, Mr. Wu could still rise up and argue with other scholars, but in front of the ancestors of heaven and earth, he could only put his tail between his legs and be an honest man.
"...You teach and educate people, which is a good thing, but are students the same as children? Look at this New Year's Eve, which students can come to see you? If you have anything, you can't have children to serve you.
head?"
"You just can't get rid of that face! Whoever didn't say a few big words when they were young would have violated it. So what?"
…
Seeing another round of indiscriminate bombing, Mr. Wu became more and more depressed, messy and haggard.
Suddenly the servant came over and replied, "There is a young master from the Ouyang family outside, who claims to be the third master's nominal student. He is here to give me something."
Huh? The whole room was stunned. On this New Year's Eve, which student would be so diligent in coming to give gifts?
Even Mr. Wu himself didn't think about it. When did he take in a guy named Ouyang? But now was a good time to save face. Mr. Wu immediately cheered up and said, "Get someone in quickly!"
It didn't take long before people arrived.
He is still a pretty good-looking young man, but his little face is bruised from the cold, the tip of his nose is red, and there are two tubes of clear nasal discharge hidden inside. Although his new clothes look good, there are a lot of mud stains on the hem, especially his temple hair.
Scattered, obviously coming all the way.
Seeing such a large formation of the Wu family, the young man was a little confused. He held the round thing in his arms and didn't know where to go.
"Young man, come here." Mr. Qi, who was sitting above Mr. Wu, spoke. He was Mr. Wu's biological uncle. He was Mr. Wu's first direct leader since his parents passed away.
Although he usually talks about his nephew a lot, he still has to show off to his nephew in front of outsiders. So Mr. Wu Qi kindly summoned someone to ask, "Where did my third nephew take you as a student? Why is it so big?"
Are you here to celebrate the Chinese New Year?"
The young man calmed down and came over to reply, "Xiao Ke is the nephew of the Cui family in Huai'an. On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, I was fortunate enough to invite my husband to sit at home. My husband had promised to tutor Xiao Ke in his studies. Because he liked my family's hospitality that day.
I made a sauce but I felt it had some flaws, so I made a new one at noon today and hurriedly sent it to my husband."
Wow! Someone in the crowd exclaimed, "You come from Huai'an? It's more than seventy miles away from here."
The young man smiled shyly and said, "It only took more than an hour to ride on horseback, so it's not too far."
More than an hour is not too far, but the problem is that today is New Year's Eve, and it is still freezing and snowy outside. He traveled such a long way just to deliver a jar of sauce to a gentleman who is not yet a serious gentleman. This feeling,
It's really not easy.
Many elderly people have already started stroking their beards and nodding. Along with this, Mr. Wu's waist has also straightened up a bit. His face is smiling in an amiable way, as warm as spring.
"Are you freezing? Sit down and drink a glass of hot wine to warm yourself up."
It was rare to hear such kind words. The young man was so excited that his ears turned red. He offered the jar with anxiety and said, "Thank you sir for your kindness. It's just that during the festival, I shouldn't leave home alone. I have to rush back as soon as possible to avoid my grandmother."
Worry. Sir, please try this sauce. Do you like it? If it’s not right, the student can go back and tell us and see how to improve it.”
Oh, the eyes of the people in the room became softer when they looked at this young man. What a sensible and filial boy. What do you mean, why is this Ah San so blind? Such a good boy hasn't even been put in the door yet!
Mr. Wu Qi coughed twice and glanced sideways at his nephew.
Mr. Wu received the signal and nodded slightly, but did not speak directly. He only asked, "Did Sister Mu make this sauce?"
"Yes, it was just delivered at noon." After thinking about it, the young man added, "She was busy at my house until last night and took leave."
Mr. Wu nodded and asked the servant to open the jar. He saw a jar of snow-white new sauce inside. The fragrance was fragrant and the color was like jade. For a gourmet like Mr. Wu, he could tell at just one glance that this sauce must be
It was of top quality. He told his servants to bring it to the kitchen to add dishes to appease the young and old men. He then began to question the young man.
"When we met in a hurry that day, I didn't have time to ask you, are you seeking fame or profit when you study under me? Do you want to spread your knowledge to the world, or devote yourself to the court?"
The young man was startled. Is there anyone who questions people like this? Isn't studying just to establish oneself and become famous?
Mr. Wu smiled meaningfully and said, "Don't think too much, just answer according to your heart."
True intention? The young man's eyes suddenly showed his grandmother's aging and worried face, the disgusted and contemptuous faces of his uncles and aunts, and recalled all the encounters he had experienced in the past ten years since he was a child. Then, he seemed to hear that he first met Sister Mu that day.
Mr. Wu’s smile.
The expression in the young man's eyes changed, including anger, unwillingness, and grievance. Suddenly, his eyes were fixed, and he faced Mr. Wu's questioning gaze and said calmly, "Students don't know what they are asking for. If we talk about our true intentions,
, that is, I hope that my grandmother will no longer care about me, that I will no longer be looked down upon by others, that all those who are close to me will be proud of me, and that I will do my best to ensure that they have peace and happiness. That is all I wish."
Mr. Wu was silent for a long time, and the young man was very nervous, not knowing whether his answer was correct or not. Then Mr. Wu said, "Go back and read the Three Character Classic again. I will test you later."
"
Ah? The young man was dumbfounded. The Three Character Classic is a reading book for enlightenment and literacy. He can recite it now, so he still wants to learn it? Mr. Wu laughed and didn't answer, and just asked him to go back quickly.
Walking out of the gate confused, I saw a bookboy chasing out with an old Three-Character Scripture, "My husband gave it to you. Take it back and look at it carefully. Be careful not to damage it."
The young man opened the page of the book and understood it instantly when he saw the detailed annotations on it. He was overjoyed and bowed deeply at the door, "Thank you sir for me and tell him that I will read it carefully!"
With the book in his arms, the young man felt that he had endless energy in his body, and he was working hard all the way, no matter how cold the wind blew on him——
Ah! It's still cold.
Young Master Ouyang felt a little regretful. He should have asked for two glasses of hot wine before leaving. Alas, it was a mistake. But after returning, I really want to thank Sister Mu.
Everyone is willing to leave homework for him. There is hope for this gentleman!

Early in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Nianfu was dug out of the warm bed by Madam Hui, and they went out together despite the cold wind.
"Hurry, hurry, worship the gods as early as possible, otherwise when there are more people, the gods won't be able to hear what you are praying for!"
Hey, it's possible for gods to sleep in, okay? My protest by praying for blessings was ineffective, and my mother, who had recovered and regained her fighting strength, dragged her straight to the Queen Mother Temple.
Halfway through, there were more and more pedestrians on the road. Looking at the incense candles and fireworks, I knew that they were all in the same way. Madam Hui became more and more anxious, wishing that she could have wings in her ribs and drag the Nianfu Shengsheng wrapped into a cotton ball out of her body.
She was sweating, and before she felt like she was going to die, she finally rolled to the front of the Queen Mother Temple.
Mo Daojun will leave early, and there will be more early travelers.
The small temple that you just entered was already very lively. Looking at the people crowded into the courtyard, Nianfu gasped and said, "There are so many people... Do you still want to worship?"
"Of course!" Madam Hui's beautiful red eyes glared with murderous intent, "We came here so early in the morning. If our sincerity doesn't show up, then this temple is not working!"
Uh... Can chanting blessings mean, Mom, how cool are you?
After offering incense and paying homage, Madam Hui left all the food in her basket in front of the Queen Mother's shrine to offer it, and then took the rest back.
I was puzzled by the blessing, and just listened to my mother's joyful saying, "Everything that has been offered before the gods has been blessed. Take it back with your family to eat together. Hehe, I also brought the ointment used by your grandma and grandpa to worship.
The effect will definitely be better.”
Uh... chanting blessings can once again express, Mom, are you so cool? The gods and Buddhas in the sky are completely at your disposal!
Regardless of her daughter's thoughts, after worshiping the gods and fulfilling her wish, Hui Niang dragged Nian Fu home. People who saw her along the way unconsciously felt superior to others, "Look! Mom said you came early, right? Wait until now, think about it."
It’s so crowded that I can’t even squeeze in. When you’re fifteen, you can take another day off and my mother will take you to the temple fair, which will be lively.”
As they walked and talked, Nianfu realized something was wrong, "Mom, that's wrong, this is not the way home."
Hui Niang smiled and said, "Yes, just follow my mother." (Thank you for the pk and evaluation votes of Ke Fu Ming Tong Shoes. Everyone liked it and lost a few. Hui Niang would like to thank everyone.o(n_n)o)
