Chapter 201, Attending The Birthday Banquet, The Bustling Jia Family
Chapter 201, Attending The Birthday Banquet, The Bustling Jia Family
No matter how lively Jia's house in Zhongyuan is these days, Wang Jianjun's life is not affected at all.
Every day is a normal commute to and from get off work. If there is a reception task in the factory, I will come back later. I also make steady progress in skill learning.
He went to the ghost market again last night. Except for himself and Lei Ye who were more cautious, the other vendors didn't have much reaction at all. They probably haven't received the news yet.
Time flies by quickly, and before I know it, it’s the weekend break again.
Today is the birthday of Mr. Ma's family. Wang Jianjun didn't go anywhere because he had promised to attend.
I got up early in the morning, finished my homework and had breakfast, and then continued studying at home, waiting for the Ma brothers to send someone to pick me up. This was also discussed in advance.
After all, officials in important positions like the old man of the Ma family lived in a place where not everyone could enter. Wang Jianjun originally thought of riding there by himself and asking his disciples to wait for him at the door.
But the Ma brothers said that it would be more sincere to send someone to pick them up. There was no other way, so Wang Jianjun had no choice but to agree. The key was that it wouldn't work if he didn't agree. If others didn't tell him, how could he find a place?
As for the birthday gift for Mr. Ma, he has already prepared it. A piece of calligraphy and painting from the previous dynasty is not the work of a famous person, but the calligraphy and painting on it is more suitable for birthday banquet gifts.
"Brother-in-law, I'm still reading at home. It's finally a weekend, so why don't you let your brain take a break? How about we go out to play?"
Before he had studied for long, Yu Haitang came to his house. Seeing that Wang Jianjun was reading again, he started to trick him into going out to play.
"I really can't play with you today. I have to attend a birthday party later, and I'm waiting for him to pick me up. Why don't Lily take Haitang out to play? It's really boring to stay at home."
It's okay to dote on his sister-in-law at ordinary times, but when it comes to business, Wang Jianjun will never compromise. Both sisters Yu Li know this, so Yu Haitang immediately stopped persuading her and turned her head to look at her. Yu Li.
"Look what I'm doing. I'm not going anywhere today. I'm just staying at home. I'm old enough to play all day long. If I'm really bored, I'll do more housework. Didn't you say you wanted to repay your brother-in-law last time? Can I help you out? I won’t forget it so soon.”
Wang Jianjun, a brother-in-law, knew how to spoil his sister-in-law, but Yu Li, a sister, didn't and immediately wanted to arrange a living for her.
"No, sister, I'm not bored at all. I went to play with He Yuyu. I saw her when I entered the compound just now. We haven't seen each other for a long time. "I'm leaving first.
After she finished speaking, Li didn't even reply, she just ran away. The guy was so frightened that it seemed like there was some savage beast behind him.
"This damn girl can run faster than a rabbit when it comes to housework. I wonder who will dare to ask for her in the future?"
"Okay, Lily, sit down and rest for a while. Don't worry, someone will definitely want Haitang. You forgot about that crazy suitor a few days ago, so you don't have to worry."
Seeing his wife's cute and angry look, Wang Jianjun quickly pulled her to sit next to him and said a few soothing words to her.
"Thank you, Brother Jun. I'm fine. I was just worried about this damn girl Haitang. You can continue reading.
"That's good, it's not okay to be angry all the time..."
"Dangdang, is Master Wang at home? I'm here to pick you up to attend the Ma Lao birthday banquet."
Wang Jianjun was about to tell his wife some more tips about life, when he was interrupted by several knocks on the door.
After hearing the other party announcing his home address, he knew it was time to leave, but he felt a little strange. Why did he need to go so early to attend the birthday banquet?
"I am Wang Jianjun, master. Isn't it too early to pass this time?"
"That's not clear. I followed your orders."
"Okay, let's go then, Lily, I'm leaving and I should be back in the afternoon."
"I understand, Brother Jun."
When he didn't get an answer, Wang Jianjun didn't bother to ask anymore. After saying hello to Yu Li, he and his master walked outside the courtyard.
After exiting the alley, as expected, what came to pick him up was a jeep, which was considered standard equipment for senior leaders in this era.
After the car started, it went around all the way. After about an hour, the car stopped at the entrance of a compound.
After getting off the car, Wang Jianjun casually observed it and found that it was similar to the courtyard of the leader's house, with a five-pointed star hanging on the top and guards guarding the gate.
Just after the observation was completed, the door was opened, and an old man came out of the house with two brothers from the Ma family. Judging from his clothes and the momentum of his walking, it seemed that he was the protagonist of today's birthday banquet.
"Hello, Master Wang, thank you for coming to this old man's birthday party today. Let's go inside and talk, please!"
"You always joke, it's me who should thank you for giving me the opportunity to broaden my horizons."
Although he had some guesses, if he called the wrong person, he would be embarrassed to death. Just when Wang Jianjun was thinking about how to speak appropriately, the other party seemed to have guessed his difficulty and spoke first.
Moreover, the words he said made people feel extremely comfortable. Wang Jianjun quickly replied, and then followed them into the house.
"Old man, you celebrate your birthday today. This is a little thought from this younger generation. I hope you won't dislike it.
After everyone sat down and waited for the nanny to pour the tea and leave, Wang Jianjun took out the gift he had prepared in advance and gave it to the birthday boy today.
"Master Wang, I accept your wish, old man, but this calligraphy and painting is too valuable, I can't accept it."
With Ma Lao's age and his long-term position in a high position, his experience is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary people. After opening the scroll, he just took a look and knew that it was an old object.
Although he had not studied these specifically, he also knew that good old objects were valuable, so he refused without thinking.
"Old man, although this painting is an old thing, it is not a work by a famous artist, so it is not as expensive as you think. Don't laugh at me for being stingy. When I bought this painting, I only spent fifty cents. money."
Wang Jianjun knew at a glance that the old man was overthinking, so he quickly explained a few words to him, and also made a little joke to relieve the embarrassment at the scene.
"Did you really buy it for fifty cents? Master Wang, you didn't lie to me, an old man, did you?"
"Why am I lying to you? Forget it, let me tell you this. There is an unwritten rule in antique trading, which is to pick up the missing items. As long as your eyesight is good enough, you can buy good things at very low prices. , that’s how I bought this painting.”
Seeing that the old man still didn't believe it, Wang Jianjun had no choice but to reveal a little bit about his other abilities. Sure enough, Mr. Ma heard it instantly.
"I really didn't expect that Master Wang would know so much about antique appraisal. If so, I will accept this gift. In fact, I quite like it."
Not to mention that Ma is old, even his two sons are a little confused. He is also too versatile as a master, including benchwork, medical skills, and cooking skills. Today, he discovered a new skill, appraisal.
Although I know Wang Jianjun is a real genius, this is too shocking.
"It's good that you always like me, otherwise I would be embarrassed to stay here."
"What are you talking about? Master Wang, you are the master of my two sons. With your help to them, you will be a guest of our family whenever you come.
"You're too polite, madam, I just..."
Wang Jianjun was about to reply to Mr. Ma, when an old woman suddenly came in and startled everyone as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Old Ma, what's wrong, Sun's mother suddenly fainted when she was chopping vegetables. Now she's almost out of breath. What should I do?"
"You don't have to ask me. Go find a doctor quickly. If it doesn't work, send him to the hospital for treatment immediately."
"Oh, I know, I'll contact you now."
After saying that, he hurried out again.
"Dad, it will be a while before my mother goes to call the doctor. My master knows medical skills. Why don't you let my master go and have a look first?
"Master, I beg you, apprentice. Our two brothers were raised by Sun's mother. Please help her save her."
In fact, when the old woman appeared just now, Wang Jianjun had a feeling that it had been arranged in advance, but seeing the two apprentices shouting hoarsely and looking a little different, this really gave him a headache.
But now was not the time to think about this. Saving people was more important, so he didn't hesitate and agreed directly.
"Lead the way, the faster the better."
"Okay, okay, thank you Master, come with me."
After replying happily, Ma Aiguo trotted towards the kitchen, followed naturally by Wang Jianjun.
While Wang Jianjun was treating Ma's nanny, the Jia family in the courtyard of the courtyard also welcomed its first special guest today.
"Excuse me, does Qin Jingru live here?"
"Oh! Isn't this Aunt Wang? Qin Jingru lives here, but no one is here right now. It's not the weekend. Her sister took her out for a walk. If you have anything to say, tell me the same thing. I'll wait for her when she comes back. Let me tell her."
Jia Zhang, who was resting at home, heard someone looking for Qin Jingru. She looked up and saw that it was Aunt Wang, the famous matchmaker in this alley. She immediately understood that their plan had worked, but it was not necessary to pretend.
"No one is here, so let me tell you. The thing is like this. Liu Guangtian from Liu Haizhong's family in your backyard is of marriageable age. He asked me to come over and ask about Qin Jingru's situation. To put it bluntly, He just fell in love with your family Jingru.”
"You are all from the same compound. You must know his family's situation better than I do. Although Liu Guangtian's job income is average, Liu Haizhong's income is high, and he is also the second uncle of the compound. It is not good to meet someone with such a good condition. Look for it.”
Qin Jingru was not at home, and Aunt Wang had nothing to do. It was definitely impossible to sit at home and wait. Who knew how long the two sisters would be playing outside.
But I can't come here in vain, so I can only tell Jia Zhang about my purpose and ask her to convey it to her.
"I see, then this is a good thing. Don't worry, I will definitely convey the news to Jingru. If she is also willing to participate in this marriage, we will go to you to arrange it. "Do you think this is okay? 957"
With Qin Huairu as the chief planner, of course it is impossible to easily agree to a blind date. The reason why I went out today was because I was afraid that it would be difficult to evade if I met directly. Jia Zhang was actually just a tool.
"That's all we can do now. I'd like to trouble you to convey the message in place. Sister-in-law, there are some other matters at home, so I'll take the first step while you stay."
"Don't worry, Aunt Wang, I will definitely not delay such an important matter."
After sending off the matchmaker Aunt Wang, before Mrs. Jia Zhang could go back to bed and lie down, the second special guest also came to the door.
"Old sister-in-law, since Qin Jingru is not here, let me tell you first. The thing is like this. You must know Yan Jiefang from Teacher Yan Fugui's house in the front yard. He entrusted me to come here to have a blind date with Qin Jingru."
“So that’s it, then I………………
The purpose of this matchmaker is exactly the same as that of Aunt Wang just now, it's just a different person.
for the same reason
After sending the people away, Jia Zhang thought she could calm down for a while, but she didn't expect that there was a family with a son in the backyard, and they also sent a matchmaker to express their purpose.
There was even a family in the compound next door who came to propose marriage for their son.
Being familiar with the road, Jia Zhang quickly drove away all the matchmakers who came to propose marriage today.
Now we are waiting for Qin Jingru and her sister Qin Huairu to come back.
"Master, thank you for your help today. Thank you very much."
After the birthday banquet, Wang Jianjun said goodbye. Not only the two apprentices, but also Mr. Ma came out to see him off.
As for the grandma who suffered an emergency, her condition is indeed quite serious. She is in the middle stage of cancer. Fortunately, Wang Jianjun has brought her under control. From now on, if she takes the medicine he prescribed on time, she will be cured in half a year at most.
Can be cured.
Mr. Ma, who had known what happened for a long time, naturally valued Wang Jianjun more, so he wanted to send it to him personally.
"What's there to thank you for? Don't forget, your master, I am just a doctor. If you don't meet him, forget it. Now that you meet him, you must go all out.'
"
"Old man, I'm leaving first.
After explaining to the two apprentices, Wang Jianjun said hello to Mr. Ma, then got on the jeep and waited for the master to set off.
"Goodbye, Master!"
"Goodbye, Jianjun, come back often."
"Most definitely.
"Go back to the courtyard, master."
"good."
After saying goodbye to the Ma family and his son, Wang Jianjun took the car directly home. .
