Chapter 87 Zhuge
Chapter 87 Zhuge
The two of them were squeezed in the paper sedan chair and couldn't move. They couldn't stretch their bodies straight and felt sore all night.
Suddenly, I heard the crow of a rooster.
Xiaoyu's voice came from outside: "It's dawn."
The paper sedan chair swayed and fell to the ground. Bai Rourou was the first to jump out and moved away. Only then did Tan Wenjie walk out slowly.
I turned around and saw the east was turning white.
"Your sedan chair has a hole in it by accident. I will burn a sedan chair with eight bearers for you later."
He has already painted enough pie in the sky for Xiaoyu, so this one won't be a big deal.
Xiaoyu just glanced at him and got into the sedan chair. The suitcase fell to the ground with a dull "bang".
With the song "Ghost Bride" playing on repeat, Xiaoyu disappeared in front of the two of them.
"Let's go. How far is it from here to Zhuge's house?" Tan Wenjie bent down and picked up the box.
Bai Rourou: "There are still a dozen miles to go. There is a village ahead."
Tan Wenjie: "Let's go and have something to eat first."
It was not until noon that Tan Wenjie followed Bai Rourou to the Zhuge family. Just looking at the size of the house, they could be called a "prominent family", only slightly smaller than the new house that the Tan family was planning to build.
Bai Rourou went forward and knocked on the door. After a long time, the door creaked open, but the appearance of the person who came out stunned Tan Wenjie.
Xiaoyu, how come you can come out during the day?
They actually have similar faces, but only half of their faces are similar because the other half is not rotten.
And there is a big age difference. Xiaoyu is only in her teens or twenties, while the one in front of her is at least in his thirties.
Why didn't Bai Rourou react? That's right, she has encountered people and ghosts who look like her, and she may have encountered even more.
Tan Wenjie did not ask Zhu Dachang, Fei Bao and Zhang Dabing to do the blood test to identify their relatives, nor did he ask his second uncle if he had accidentally shivered when he was young, nor did he ask his ninth uncle if he had a lost father.
No, my second uncle was a virgin, and he almost made my ninth uncle the same generation as me. What a close call!
She looked at Bai Rourou and her expression changed: "Why are you here?"
Bai Rourou was about to speak, but the woman saw Tan Wenjie standing behind Bai Rourou. The anger on her face immediately turned into a smile, and she took Bai Rourou's hand affectionately.
"Look at you. You haven't come here for so many years. Xiao Ming and Xiao Hua miss you very much."
If it were someone else, they would just think it was a love story between an aunt and a sister-in-law.
But Tan Wenjie listened from beginning to end how Bai Rourou chatted with his sister-in-law while they were on a video call in front of the basin with Zhuge Kongping.
The two of them together are like water and fire.
Bai Rourou: "I..."
"Is this my brother-in-law?" She had already looked at Tan Wenjie, "He is such a handsome man."
Bai Rourou: "No, you misunderstood!"
Tan Wenjie smiled and nodded to greet him: "Mrs. Zhuge, just call me Ajie."
If relatives or friends have internal purchasing discounts, it is not impossible for him to suffer a temporary loss.
"Ajie, come in quickly!" Her enthusiasm for Tan Wenjie was even greater than that for Bai Rourou.
As early as more than ten years ago, before they got married, she was wary of Bai Rourou. Later, she won the first place with her fortune of bringing good fortune to her husband and children, and she used her bravery and feminine power to make Zhuge Kongping and Bai Rourou dare not meet each other for several years.
She also knew that the two of them had been in contact on and off but there was nothing she could do. She had long wanted to marry Bai Rourou off to prevent future trouble.
No matter whether it is true or not, it must be true to her. Moreover, the eldest brother is like a father and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. Once the family rules are applied, no matter whether the fat man is reluctant or not, Bai Rourou must be married off.
"Someone, Xiaohua? Master is here, come and pour some tea."
……
On the other side of the Zhuge family's yard, Zhuge Kongping was sitting with his son Xiao Ming, worrying.
"The number one Mao in the world wants to trouble me, but I am now restrained by the bronze-armored corpse. My magic power has been greatly reduced. Xiao Ming, go contact the master to help me draw a talisman to exorcise the evil spirit."
"Ah? Me?" Zhuge Xiaoming pointed at himself and shook his head repeatedly.
"Do you really want to see Dad lose face?"
Suddenly, Zhuge Xiaohua's voice was heard outside: "Master's aunt is here! Master's aunt is here!" "Junior sister is here!" Zhuge Kongping slapped the table in surprise, thinking that he and his junior sister were really in sync.
But he didn't have the courage to say it out loud, because the tigress at home would definitely kill him.
Then Zhuge Xiaohua ran in: "Master's aunt and master's uncle came together."
"What!" Zhuge Kongping's eyes widened.
Zhuge Xiaoming on the side said: "Dad, are you sleepy?"
Zhuge Kongping: "My eyes are already wide open!"
……
Tan Wenjie sat on a chair, quietly listening to the two sisters-in-law making small talk. They had always had an unharmonious relationship, and now they suddenly changed their expressions and acted intimate, which looked awkward no matter how you looked at it.
"Junior sister, why didn't you tell me you were here?"
The visitor came in panting, holding his stomach, and his first eyes fell on Tan Wenjie.
Pretty boy! Humph!
You have good looks but no substance, and yet you still want to marry your junior sister?
Even if he has to risk his life today, he must reject this matter!
"Fatty, you're just in time." Zhuge Wanghui's face changed, and he asked in an unquestionable tone, "Ajie is here to propose marriage. An elder brother is like a father, and an elder sister-in-law is like a mother. Let me calculate the date. What do you think?"
Zhuge Kongping, who had already punched Tan Wenjie hundreds of times in his heart, smiled and said, "Okay, of course I agree with both hands and feet!"
"I don't think you'd dare to disagree."
Wait a minute? I don't agree, and I didn't propose marriage. This was the first time that Tan Wenjie encountered someone who was forced to buy or sell something.
But his eyes turned to Zhuge Kongping again, wondering what was so outstanding about this man that could cause two people to be jealous of him.
All that is rotten on the outside must be gold and jade on the inside. Let's find time to go to the bathroom together.
Tan Wenjie quickly spoke up: "Madam Zhuge, I also have no father or mother, but I have a master. Marriage is decided by parents and matchmakers, and I am still in mourning, so I cannot get married for the time being."
Instead of asking him to marry Bai Rourou, he would rather propose to Xiaohong. Except for the fact that Xiaohong is not a living person, her requirements for marrying a wife basically meet his requirements.
"Then take a concubine!" Zhuge Wanghui glared at her man fiercely. She just wanted to prevent future troubles, and she was not really doing this for Bai Rourou's good.
I even think it would be better if Bai Rourou could be my concubine.
She has been jealous of Bai Rourou for more than ten years.
As for Tan Wenjie, he had to be married even if he didn't want to, and he had to take this hot potato away from him.
Zhuge Wanghui: "Fatty, what do you think?"
"Me?" Zhuge Kongping clenched his fists, anger rising in his heart. This was his junior sister who had been childhood sweethearts with him!
"Hmm?" Zhuge Wanghui glanced at him coldly.
Zhuge Kongping immediately smiled and said, "I definitely think it's okay, but it depends on what Junior Sister thinks."
He gritted his teeth again in his heart. As long as his junior sister said no, he would never nod easily.
Bai Rourou glanced at Zhuge Kongping, and then at Tan Wenjie.
She had been with her senior brother since she was a child, and they had a deep relationship. Of course, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Even though she faced Tan Wenjie's "crazy pursuit" in the past few days, she didn't think it was a big deal and believed that she could still stick to her heart.
But when the two of them were together at this time, the senior brother even moved closer to Tan Wenjie without considering his own ability, and even took out a comb to comb his hair, revealing his already flawed facial features.
Why should you use your own weakness to attack the other person's strength? Brother, you are forcing yourself to make a choice.
My senior brother never defended me, and compared with Tan Wenjie who was willing to "take the initiative to sacrifice" and accompany me to Zhuge's house, the difference is obvious.
She didn't believe in buying the bronze-armored corpse. If she really wanted to buy it, there was no need to come all the way here. Besides, when Tan Wenjie was looking for the Zhuge family, her senior brother hadn't caught the bronze-armored corpse yet, so it must be an excuse for him to come here with her.
Bai Rourou lowered her head, having already made her choice.
"Your junior sister also thinks it's okay." Zhuge Wanghui breathed a sigh of relief. He no longer had to worry about thieves targeting him for the rest of his life.
Tan Wenjie was drinking tea on the side.
Ask me, why don’t you ask me if I want to take a concubine.
This is really the first time I've seen people discussing a marriage like this. It would be so embarrassing to just give it away like this. If I say now that I don't want it, this family probably won't turn hostile immediately.
