Chapter 19 Cloth shoes

"Master, I do!"

Erhu's answer was firm and hesitant. Since his elder brother Dahu didn't object, Wei Chi naturally wouldn't say much, so the matter was decided. However, the three men gathered together to eat and drink, and after talking about the serious matter, they would always whisper a few words.

Wei Chi smiled and held tea and Erhu with a pair of wine with him. Erhu's wine glass was full of real spirits. After three cups, everything was easy to ask.

Wei Chi asked with a smile: "Erhu, when will he fall in love with someone? Come on, let me tell you about it."

Erhu was drinking and his face was red. After Wei Chi asked this, he actually said honestly: "It was when she harvested wheat last year, her family might have fewer people, and the harvest was slower than other people's houses. It was raining. I saw her running back alone with a bag of wheat. Her small body, which attracted...it was painful!"

After saying that, Erhu's face was red and almost purple. He lowered his head and looked like he was about to hold his head in his crotch. Seeing him like this, Wei Chi couldn't joke anymore. He smiled and patted him, saying, "You guys, you're into it. The man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried. What's there to be shy about? Come on, be sure to be honest."

Dahu was beside him and said happily: "That's right! He's going to get married, how can he be so shy!"

Erhu was incited by the two of them, regardless of the redness of his face, raised his head and chest, and his back was straightened, and said loudly: "Okay, if you are not ashamed, you are not ashamed. Anyway, I just like her and want to love her well. Those jobs are not what she, a woman, should do at home. She... she should feed chickens and pigs, cook, make female red on the kang, and take care of the children. It is not...inappropriate for a woman to carry wheat."

"Okay! Well said! It's like you can't let a woman carry a gas tank, how can you let a woman carry a wheat in the field? The woman has done it all, where are we men going, right?"

Erhu's words made Wei Chi very happy. This guy will never forget his father was not at home when he was a child, and his mother went to the field to work alone, sweating profusely. At that time, I really didn't like my father. Other mothers could cook at home and didn't have to work at the field, so his mother wanted to go to the field. This guy felt quite unbalanced at that time.

At that time, my sister was still young and was taken care of by Wei Chi. She carried her under the shade of the tree beside the field, put her on the ground, and let her sit on the ground to play. Wei Chi went downstairs to help her mother pick up wheat ears or move corn stalks. Once, everyone was too dedicated to work and was attentive. My sister didn't know that she crawled out of the shade of the tree until she fell into the gutter and cried. Wei Chi remembered that her little face was full of soil. Fortunately, the gutter was soft and there was no major injury, but she just fell a bag on her forehead.

Erhu was full of energy: "That's it! We should do the work of our masters. But, master, what is a gas tank?"

Wei Chi: "Uh... it's a kind of thing dug out of the ground. It's so heavy, it's not found in our Tang Dynasty."

"Oh, it turns out that it is also a kind of food. The master is very knowledgeable."

Erhu smiled honestly. Wei Chi laughed so hard that he laughed dryly, picked up the teacup and continued to coax Erhu. The two brothers of Dahu drank. After three rounds of wine, Wei Chi fooled Erhu: "Erhu, you have a crush on someone, but they don't know yet. Should you go to express your sincerity? Otherwise, I'm not good at helping you match. It seems that you're going to intervene in the son-in-law and ask the woman to come up to propose marriage. If you don't let Yun Niang know your wish, how can she come to propose marriage, right?"

Erhu grabbed his head and said, "You still have to say it? Isn't that too... that's too... that's it? Master, no...no, right? Just let... let a matchmaker talk?"

Wei Chi pretended to be serious: "No! This time it's not that you marry a wife, but that you are the son-in-law of someone else's family. In other words, you are getting married, do you know?"

Erhu was said by Wei Chi, and cold sweat began to spread on his forehead. He stood up and ran out in a hurry. Wei Chi didn't chase him. He just smiled and waved his hand behind him, saying, "Erhu, go back and think about it. Whether you can get married depends on whether you will say it. Think about Yun Niang, you are a big man, and at the critical moment, you can't be impotence!"

After Erhu ran away, only Wei Chi and Dahu were left with big eyes staring at each other. Dahu said with a straightforward saying: "Fortunately, I am marrying a wife, not going to get in the door."

In his tone, he had a lot of sympathy for Erhu. Wei Chi looked at him and smirked, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Dahu, when you get married, I will help you do it."

When Dahu heard this, his expression immediately collapsed, and he cried and said, "Master, don't you?"

"What you want, what you want, no one can treat you with nothing."

Dahu now understood Erhu's feelings just now, so he quickly found an excuse and ran away. After getting Erhu's wishes, Wei Chi went back to tell Xie Jiu. Xie Jiu asked Liu's wife to go to the Guan family the next day to ask Yun Niang. Yun Niang was also happy and gave an answer on the spot. As long as Erhu was willing to marry into their house, she was willing to marry Erhu.

After receiving a clear reply, the first one to tell Erhu. This guy has been lying at the gate since he learned that Mrs. Liu went out to ask him for information. When Mrs. Liu came back, she tiptoed to the back and did not dare to break into the backyard. She only knew that she kept wandering around at the backyard door. Seeing the women of all sizes and girls in the backyard, Wei Chi, who was so mean, all of them were funny. In the end, Xie Jiu was soft-hearted and couldn't stand it anymore, so she asked Brother Zhao to call him in.

"lady."

After saluting, Erhu looked at Xie Jiu with a gaze. To be honest, he was really honest and pitiful. Wei Chi looked at him again with a smirk, and Erhu's face began to turn red again with his uncomfortable face.

Xie Jiu gave Wei Chi a blank look. Wei Chi then restrained her face and tried hard to be serious. Xie Jiu said, "The Guan family has agreed. After choosing a good day, we can get married for you. Let Uncle Cheng go and see the day tomorrow. Choose a zodiac auspicious day for you, and the mansion will handle it. OK?"

Erhu said, "Everyone listens to the wife, and the wife will do whatever she says."

Erhu's silly words made everyone smile again, and he smiled and scratched his head with a silly smile. Xie Jiu said, "You are about to get married. Go find the accountant to get a few pieces of cloth, and make two new clothes for yourself and your future wife."

"Thank you, madam."

Wei Chi interrupted at this time, "It's all a family, so you don't have to thank you anymore. In the future, my wife's family can't finish the work, so you can come to the house to recruit people. There are so many young men in the family who have the strength to do it, but don't just delay the work alone for several days, do you understand?"

Erhu was really, and nodded immediately, and hesitated: "Master, as you said, I got married into the Guan family, and I am from their family, so... can I still come to the mansion? Will you be the same as the master and the wife of the two families in the future?"

"Married?!"

Before Wei Chi could speak, she was still smirking. Xie Jiu asked in confusion. Erhu was too honest and actually said everything Wei Chi fooled him. Xie Jiu made Xie Jiu smile bitterly and said Wei Chi was funny. Xie Jiu said, "Erhu, don't you want to continue to serve as the guard of the Wei Mansion in the future?"

Erhu immediately retorted urgently: "Of course not! I have not yet repayed the kindness of the wife and the master."

Xie Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, saying, "Since you are still here, how come you are not from the Wei family? The difference is that after you get married, you will get married and start a family and start a business. In the future, you should think about your wife. If you have children in the future, you will also think about your children. You are considered a real adult."

Erhu giggled again and lowered his head.

Xie Jiu is a cold and polite person outside, but at home, he is a gentle and reasonable mistress who is fair in dealing with things. Compared with Wei Chi's easy-going and carelessness, he is more serious, but he is also loved by the Wei Mansion.

After explaining what he wanted to explain, Erhu left the backyard and went out. Wei Chi turned his eyes and said, "Madam, I'll go out to Carpenter Zhou's house to see how many cars have been made."

After saying that, he turned around and went out, and Xie Jiu's faint voice floated behind him: "Don't bully Erhu too much."

The shrewd Xie Jiu really can't hide anything. Wei Chi smiled and followed the two tigers. He was very interested in studying the state of the honest man in love.

Erhu left the backyard and returned to his residence. Along the way, he smirked from time to time, as if he was sleepwalking. He was so scared that his servants who met him looked at him with a strange look. Erhu didn't realize it, and rushed forward when he saw someone and said, "I'm going to get married!"

Wei Chi, who was following behind, was about to watch the show, heard this, and his feet became soft and he almost fell to the ground. Why didn’t he see Erhu as powerful before?! It’s really... it’s really... it’s so right. If he didn’t be this stalker, he wouldn’t be able to see Erhu as fun as he did. Unfortunately, Xie Jiu didn’t follow him.

Erhu returned to his residence, sat on the chair for a while, poured two cups of tea, walked around the room for a few times, opened the door, ran out of the house and headed towards the village.

Yun Niang had just finished feeding the chickens and was about to feed the pigs. When she looked up inadvertently, she saw the fool smiling silly and poking her head outside her fence. She smiled with a smile on her lips and said with anger, "Come in when you come, what are you doing sneakily?"

Erhu yelled again. Although his mouth was not smooth, his feet were quite fast. He immediately came in and went to grab the wooden barrel from Yun Niang's hand, saying, "I...I will help you with work."

Yun Niang covered her mouth and smiled, saying, "Can you feed pigs?"

Erhu's smile suffocated and shook his head. Yun Niang smiled again and said, "If you don't know, get out of here, I'll do it."

"I...I will carry it over for you, this is heavy."

Erhu was very active, and huffed and carried the big wooden bucket to the pigpen. Seeing Yun Niang busy, the honest smile on her face seemed to be very at ease. Yun Niang said, "What? If you get married, you won't be able to speak?"

Erhu smiled and scratched his head, saying, "I don't know why, I feel very comfortable when I see you, so I don't want to talk anymore."

Yun Niang's face turned red and her eyes were filled with joy, and she said, "Look, you are an honest person. So you are so good at speaking and are so slick. Bah, I'm a disciple."

Erhu was anxious and hurriedly said, "I'm telling the truth. I... I really feel sorry for you. After getting married, I will work hard, work hard, save money, and let you live a good life. In the future, I will ask me to do whatever work I have in the field. You cook for me at home, feed chickens and raise pigs. My mother, I will also support her like my biological mother and be filial to her. OK?"

Yun Niang's eyes were filled with tears and she said softly: "Fool."

"What did you say?"

Erhu didn't hear clearly, Yun Niang didn't say anything, and continued to lower her head to feed the pig. After feeding the pig, she stood up with the wooden barrel and prepared to go back to the house. Erhu wanted to steal the wooden barrel from her hand again, afraid that she would be tired. Yun Niang gave him a blank look and let him carry it. She arrived at the door and said, "Although you have already been engaged, I still can't let you in. Go back."

After saying that, he turned around and entered the house and closed the door. Erhu smiled foolishly, stood for a while, and was about to turn around and leave when Yun Niang's voice suddenly rang out: "Wait!"

"What are the instructions for my elder sister?"

Yun Niang Bai Erhu glanced at him again and reached out to stuff something, but a pair of cloth shoes. Erhu looked happy and held the cloth shoes, looking like he didn't know what to say. Yun Niang whispered: "I took it in my spare time. Thank you for doing so many work for me. It's a thank you gift. I hope you don't dislike me."

Erhu immediately said anxiously: "No, no! I like it very much. This... This is the first time a woman made shoes for me. When I was in the world, I went to the pawnshop to buy old shoes. After following the master, the tailor and female workers in the mansion made them for us men in batches. This is the first time I have received shoes for me specially made. Sister, thank you, I... I will definitely treat you well in the future and love you very well."

"Shi, what nonsense! Go back quickly, let's see, gossip."

Yun Niang spat at him and looked at Erhu's eyes, which were gentle and charming, but the words he said were not gentle at all. Erhu was used to her seemingly gentle on the outside but actually being stingy and cheerful inside. He laughed and put his cloth shoes tightly in his arms, and walked back and forth.
