Chapter 446: Annunciation

Third update, please pink

****………………****

Taicang wrote another letter, but I don’t know what would happen to read the full text. Thinking of this, the family did not rush to open the letter, but instead served hot tea and fruit to entertain Wang Wu.

"Is the Lu family just back? It's the Chinese New Year's Eve. Will they go to Taicang before the New Year?" Zhang asked.

"Yes, I just came back. I guess I won't go there before the New Year. But it's okay, you have to send me a message, something, and others will go there in our town. Just say it at that time." Wu Wang said.

"Aunt Wu San, will your family buy mutton and beef this year?" Lian Man'er asked Wu Wangshi.

"What, do you want to buy it?" Wu Wang asked.

"Yeah txt download." Lian Man'er nodded because there are very few beef and mutton in the town. If you want to buy it, you have to find someone to book in advance.

"How much do you want to buy?" Wu Wang asked again.

"I want to buy more." Lian Man'er said, "It's okay to buy the whole one."

"Then this is easy. I went back and told Jiaxing's father that they would go west in the past two days, so they would just buy a sheep for you, kill it there, transport the meat back, and buy the beef there too." Wu Wang said, "We are going to buy beef and mutton too."

There is a village of Hui people who are about 100 miles west of Sanshiliyingzi. They raise many lambs and beef cattle. Because of the distance, few people sell beef and mutton to sell. Wu Yugui and Wu Jiaxing are going there and they just bought beef and mutton and came back. This is really great.

After chatting for a while, Shouxin went out.

Seeing that Lian Shouxin had gone out, Wang Wu coughed and glanced at Zhang.

Wu Wang once said that he would pay attention to the news in Taicang for them. Zhang saw Wu Wang like this, and he was a little aware.

"The old Lu family came from Taicang. Our old man, the old lady and the big house were there, there was nothing wrong, right?" Zhang asked Wu Wang in a low voice.

"There is really something about this," said Wu Wang. "It's a good thing."

"What's the good thing?" Lian Man'er asked.

"It's a good thing for your second wife. I guess you can guess this... It's Sanlang, who has been married to the seventh girl in the old Wang family's car shop, and will get married soon by the end of the twelfth lunar month... I guess I'll send you a message. That's what it means." Wu Wang said with a smile.

"Oh, this matter has really happened." Zhang also smiled and told Wu Wang that they went to Taicang last time and visited the big cart shop of Lao Wang's family. Sanlang was also with them, and how Miss Wang Qi was entertained.

"...Everyone with eyes can tell that the seventh girl has taken a fancy to Saburo. Speaking of which, this girl is really fierce and brave enough to see Saburo good eyes." Zhang laughed and asked again, "Is this Saburo marrying or marrying into a marriage?"

"It's the Wang family who recruited you Sanlang." Wu Wang said.

"It's better to ask for a husband. The old man, Saburo's father and mother agreed?" Zhang said. This sentence was not a question, but just a expression of her surprise.

In this era, there are still prejudices about recruiting a family. Ordinary families are unwilling to let their sons marry into other people's homes even if they are poor. Mr. Lian is a person with deep-rooted traditional ideas. Zhang originally thought that it would be difficult for Mr. Lian to agree to Sanlang's marriage.

"It's been a lifetime, and it's mainly because of the couple in your second wife." Wu Wang said, "It just so happens that they have many sons. The Wang family has no sons, and the only one old daughter is left in the family. She is reserved for the elderly. In the future, the large family business will definitely be borne by her and Sanlang."

"This marriage. Your second wife doesn't have to pay a penny, and everything is prepared by the old Wang family. In addition, they have given your second wife a sum of money."

"I heard that all the documents for marriage were signed, and then Saburo will enter the account of the old Wang family. The three of the old Wang family like Saburo very much. The old couple was anxious to hold their grandson. So they decided to marry 180% this month."

"How much money did the Wang family give us a second wife?" Zhang thought for a while and asked again.

"I heard that it's this number..." Wu Wang stretched out his hand and gestured.

“Yes, how much?”

"One hundred taels." Wu Wang said, "I heard that there are also clothes, shoes and feet for Sanlang's father and mother, which are the conditions for the couple to negotiate with the Wang family."

If Saburo is married, he will have to pay a betrothal gift or a banquet, and all the money will be spent. In addition, he is afraid he will have to prepare a house. Now, he doesn’t have to spend a penny on Shouyi and He, but he gets a lot of things and a whole hundred taels of silver.

One hundred taels of silver, that is twenty acres of good land. If it were medium-sized land, it would be twenty-five acres.

Lian Man'er couldn't help but smile when she thought of this. She was now full of landlords, and when she encountered money, she almost instinctively converted it into land in her mind.

"It's also a good thing. Sanlang's child is good-looking and has no worries. I think that Miss Wang Qi is a strong-willed, intentional, and tough-tempered person. If both of them have a tough temper, they will definitely be noisy. One is soft and the other is hard, just right. The old Wang family lives a good life, and Sanlang can live a good life in the future." Zhang was silent for a while before saying.

"No, there are many jealous people outside. They all say that you Sanlang looks good so that you can have such good things." Wu Wang smiled and said, "Are you still going to do this?"

"I will discuss with my child's father later," Zhang said, "Look, it's all over the age of the year."

"No, I think you can't walk. It's cold and cold in winter, and it's not easy to walk on the road. I'll keep an eye on you and see who goes to Taicang these days. If you send a gift, you'll take it over."

"I wonder if the Zhao family is still there?" Zhang said.

"After you said that, I remembered that there is still their family." Wu Wang laughed twice, "I guess they should be there. Now, they are very close to Taicang."

"It's very close." Zhang nodded.

Last time I went to breastfeed Zhao Xiu'e and add a box for Lian Xiu'er. After Zhang and the others came back, the Zhao family lived in Taicang for several days before they came back. Moreover, the big bag and small bag took back a lot of things. When asked, the Zhao family said that it was given by Zhao Xiu'e.

After returning, Zhao Wencai got busy and told everyone that he was doing business for the county magistrate of Taicang. A few days later, Zhao Wencai went to Taicang again. Moreover, he did not go alone, and there were two carriages with him. One carriage was filled with Captain Zhou and his wife, and the other carriage was filled with Captain Zhou's father-in-law, a master in the Jinyang County Government.

Later, Lian Man'er heard someone learn from Lian Shouxin and Zhang, saying that it was Zhao Wencai who told people that Lian County Magistrate was in charge of the criminal prison in Taicang, but there were no close friends who were familiar with the criminal prison affairs around him. Zhao Wencai shared the worries of Lian County Magistrate and looked for talents.

This talent is Captain Zhou, the son of Zhou's family next door to the Zhao family. Captain Zhou's father-in-law is said to be the famous master of the pen in Jinyang County. He has been rolling in the affairs of criminal prisons for half his life. He is a very experienced master of all things and can be called the old man in the yamen.

The person Zhao Wencai introduced to him naturally had to be close to Lian Shouyi. Does this mean that Lian Shouyi is deeply involved in Lian Shouren's affairs? Even Zhao Xiu'e would have some say because of this?

Lian Man'er felt that this was very likely. Lian Shouyi had long been hoping to be a powerful and rich master with Lian Shouren, while Zhao Xiu'e claimed to be talented, but she never left behind.

However, Lian Man'er felt a little strange about Captain Zhou and his father-in-law giving up their errands in the county and went to Taicang hundreds of miles away, who was not familiar with the place.

"Everyone says it's better to be familiar than to be raw," Lian Man'er once asked Wu Yugui and Wu Jiaxing for this question, "Why are they willing?"

"Of course it was because there was a benefit there." Wu Yugui replied with a smile, "Sir Feng is here, but one of the several ranks, Captain Zhou is actually a squad leader. When he arrived there, as your uncle's confidant, Master Feng is the first seat in the ranks. Captain Zhou should have gone to the position of the chief rank."

That time, Zhao Wencai came back from Taicang and didn't have time to start working. She was still a bunch of things. Moreover, there were rumors that Zhao Wencai's son was going to Taicang, saying that Zhao Xiu'e helped find a good reason in the yamen.

The Zhao family is so close to Taicang, and Sanlang gets married, it seems that they will definitely go.

After talking about Sanlang, Wu Wang looked at Zhang and felt a little reluctant to speak.

"Is there anything else?" Zhang asked, "No matter what it is, just say it. We two families cannot say anything else."

"That's right," Wu Wang smiled, "It's just this matter, I heard that I don't know whether it's true or not."

"Let's talk about it, let's just chat. Don't worry, I know what we say." Zhang said.

"Then I'll say... That Yingzi, have you gone to Taicang?" Wu Wang didn't say what was going on, but instead asked Zhang first.

"Yes, on the day we came back, I would like to say that this girl can listen to her." Zhang said.

"No," Wu Wang curled his lips, "I heard that Yingzi asked you old lady to make the decision and gave it to the county magistrate."

"What?" Zhang was drinking water. After hearing this, he was so shocked that he almost choked, "Is this... Is it... to give up his aunt?"
