Mr. Wen pondered for a moment and responded, "The Wang family in Willow Lane only has a family of four. The couple has two sons. The man in the family is called Wang Xinqiu. He usually helps with some business at the Wang family's ancestral home. They also have a cloth man. Village, an antique shop, living a prosperous life.
"Wang Xinqiu can write and draw, is a very good person, and has a wide circle of friends. However, the only thing that is criticized is that he married into the Wang family. Few people know why he got married. There is a vague legend that he got married to repay his kindness. "
The Li family members were silent for a long time. Based on this, no one could be sure that this was Boss Li.
In the end, Mrs. Li took a deep breath and said, "This is not a trivial matter. The second brother should go to the Wang family and wait. You have to see it with your own eyes to know for sure whether he is your eldest brother.
Li Laoer nodded, "Okay, mother, don't worry, I'll inquire more carefully after I get there. "
Mrs. Li thanked Mr. Wen. Mr. Wen waved his hand and said with a smile, "I can't help you much. It's been too long, and I can't alert the Wang family. It's not easy to inquire. " "
He didn't want to talk more about the Li family's privacy, so he gave Jiaren a few more words, and then everyone went to bed.
Mrs. Cui was not here, so Mr. Wen didn't need to avoid suspicion, so he moved in next door.
Early the next morning, Li Laoer and Wen went to bed. Mr. Wen left together.
After entering Xindu, Mr. Wen went to do some errands, and Li Laoer went to a teahouse near Liushu Alley and ordered a pot of tea and a plate of snacks.
The teahouse may have been around for some time, and the tea shop They were all nearby neighbors. People
walking birds, listening to music, drinking tea and bragging, it was very lively.
Li Laoer was dressed in ordinary clothes, but his demeanor was not like that of a businessman. The old man at the next table liked to gossip, so he stopped talking . He asked: "Does this gentleman look strange? Are you visiting relatives or friends here?
Li Laoer bowed his hands and said with a smile, "Uncle Lao asked. Uncle Lao has really sharp eyes. I'm really not a local. " Those who came from the north with the relocation of the capital previously encountered hardships on the way, which I can't go into details. Anyway, now that I am alone, I will walk around and see the beautiful scenery and simple folk customs in the south of the Yangtze River. "
The old man was complimented a few times, and the conversation became more lively. He simply sat down with some tea and snacks and chatted with him for a few words.
"Sir, he seems to be young and has read a book. He is looking for a living in this city. , marry another daughter-in-law, have two children, and settle down. "
Li Laoer smiled and poured tea for the old man and joked smoothly, "I thought so too. Recently, there was an aunt in the yard where I stayed, and she insisted that I come and marry her as her son-in-law. I really couldn't bear her noise, so I hid away and had some peace and quiet.
The old man glared at that time, "Tell me whose family it is, and I will help you out! " Even the lame and the blind are unwilling to do such a shameless thing as getting married, so how can I force you to be a good scholar! "
That's right, this old woman is so wicked. She really embarrasses our new capital." "A middle-aged man sitting at the table next to him also came over with a bird cage and patted Li Laoer's arm familiarly.
"Brother, you can't be tempted. It's not a good thing to marry into your wife. My dear man, why? I can live my life depending on the face of my Yue family!
Li Laoer pretended to be hesitant and asked, "That's not necessarily true. He must have married into a wife and lived a good life? " "
Just then, the waiter from the teahouse came to refill the water and said with a smile: "Sir, you are right. There are also good days. There is a family in our alley who has given birth to two sons. The husband and wife are harmonious, and most people can't keep up with his family's life.
The old man said, "Are you talking about Yuan Wang's family? " That's different! "
Li Laoer suppressed his racing heart and asked casually, "What's different? Aren't the men who marry into the wife's wife just greedy for wealth?"
"Not so Wang Yuanwai!" Not only the old man, but also the middle-aged man also spoke. be opposed to.
The old man frowned and said, "Yuan Wang is a rare good man. He values love and righteousness. He has no choice but to marry into the Wang family. He is different from other sons-in-law."
"Yes, I also know Yuan Wang. A few years ago, I heard that he married into the Wang family in order to repay his kindness." The middle-aged man also agreed.
The old man had been holding back the gossip in his belly for many years. Now that he saw that Li Laoer was a stranger and would not reach the ears of the Wang family, he lowered his voice and said, "It's not just because of this. Mr. Wang is a foreigner. When he came to our place a few years ago, he was in danger outside the city. He hit his head and almost died. Mr. Wang happened to be out and came back and met him, so he rescued him. He spent a lot of money to help him. Save a life.
"As a result, Wang Yuanwai suffered a severe brain injury and forgot where his home was. He wanted to find a job and stay here to recover slowly. However, Mr. Wang suddenly fell seriously ill and died. There was only an orphan girl left in the family. Naturally, he missed her and refused to close his eyes. Finally, Mr. Wang spoke. Miss Wang knelt down and begged Wang Yuanwai, and then Wang Yuanwai came to repay her kindness.
The middle-aged man was surprised, "Ah, so that's it. I've only heard a few sentences without such details. I only know that it was entrusted to Mr. Wang before he died. "
The old man said proudly, "I was very familiar with Mr. Wang back then, so I wanted to send him off on his last journey, so I made a testimony. " Mr. Wang is also very lucky. This son-in-law has really gained a lot. He has not had any affairs with others for so many years, and he has also added two grandsons to the Wang family, continuing the family tradition.
"Yes, with Wang Yuan's ability, if he doesn't get married and takes the exam for merit, he will definitely make a difference. "
"Even now, within the Wang family, I heard that members of the Wang family are also valued very much. " "
The old man and the middle-aged man were chatting with each other in a lively manner, but Li Laoer was almost certain in his heart that the king was his eldest brother, Li Zhensheng!
The old man and the middle-aged man probably felt that they were neglecting him, so they quickly pulled him away. Persuasion.
"It's true that people like Wang Yuanwai are rare. Most of the married couples have a hard time. You have to be careful.
"Yes, as long as there is a way out, you can't get married. " Our place has suddenly become a new city, and many people are flooding in. You really have no way out, you can just go to any shop and become a bookkeeper.
Li Laoer quickly thanked him, "Thank you for your concern, uncle and this old man. I won't get married, otherwise I won't hide out. " When I go back, I will change my place to live and find a good job.
"Hey, that's right. " "The old man and the middle-aged man both felt a sense of accomplishment, as if they had saved a young man who had fallen off his feet!
Li Laoer couldn't help laughing and poured tea for them. At this moment, someone shouted hello to the tea guest sitting by the window. He said, "Wang Yuanwai is back? Come in and have a cup of tea?
The teahouse owner also walked to the door and greeted with a smile, "Yes, Mr. Wang, come in and have a cup of tea. The new tea arrived yesterday. " I was originally thinking of sending someone to my house to tell you, but I didn't want you to meet me when you passed by today? "
A clear voice responded with a smile, "Okay, thank you shopkeeper, I'll be here right away.
The old man and the middle-aged man had just finished gossiping. They felt somewhat guilty and murmured in a low voice, "Wang Yuanwai came back really early today. Didn't he come back in the afternoon in the past? " "
Li Laoer couldn't hear this anymore. He held his trembling hands on the edge of the table and slowly turned his head
