Chapter 21 Old Man Xuan returns

The fourth aunt Wang didn't expect that the two children didn't pay attention to her, and she wanted to show off, but they didn't give her a chance.

However, Wang is not a person who can put things in his heart, standing outside the window of the west wing and saying loudly: "What kind of child, the elders don't answer when they speak, but they have no knowledge, and when we San Lang takes the top prize, I envy you to death." ”

Wang talked for a while, and saw that there was no response in the house, and she was not interesting, not to mention that it was raining, she felt cold after a while, and hurried back to the east wing.

Xuan Anhao entered the house and lay on the kang, covering his head with a cushion, and squeaked when anyone spoke.

When Xuan Wentao heard Wang's words, he also knew why his son was angry, Xuan Anhao's intelligence and intelligence were praised even by the gentlemen in the village, but there was no money at home for him to go to private school.

Liu took the sole of his shoe in his hand, and when he heard Wang's voice outside, he stopped the movement in his hand, sighed, and did not speak.

After Xuan Miao'er entered the house, she looked at the family's face, and felt uncomfortable, so she sat down next to Xuan Anhao: "Brother, haven't we saved some money, you go to the private school first, I have a way to earn money to take the eldest sister back." ”

Xuan Anhao got his head out of the mat: "I just hate the fourth aunt and San Lang, I can learn literacy at home with my father and second uncle, don't be in a hurry to go to private school, take the eldest sister back first." ”

Xuan Wentao's voice was a little hoarse, and he endured crying and said: "Yes, take Ling'er back first, Shiro usually puts in more effort, and let's go to private school for a year at night." ”

Xuan Miaoer thought for a while: "The next time I go to the town, I will buy a few enlightenment books for my younger brother, let's all learn together, my brother will also learn, and if I have the opportunity in the future, my brother will also go to a private school for a year, not for the sake of fame, it is good to know some literati friends, let's work together, I don't believe that it is worse than other people's families." ”

This opinion has been agreed by the whole family, and recently everyone has become more and more fond of listening to Xuan Miaoer's opinion, because what she said does make sense.

This incident also made the adults ignore the mud on the uppers of the two children.

The next afternoon, Old Man Xuan came back from the town, and the Chang family sent a carriage to send him back, and the coachman also brought down a lot of gifts from the car, cloth, pastries, tea, meat and eggs, and a bunch of things.

Ma's rare also went out of the gate, this is a face-showing thing, there is no big deal in the countryside, so this is a little bit of movement, and many people come around.

But others don't know what's going on, they all think that the third child of the Xuan family is making money by doing business, and he respects his family, but he just looks at so many good things and envies them.

Old Man Xuan is also in a very good mood today, because he went to Changfu, Master Chang is very enthusiastic, and everyone respects him, and he feels like he has also been a master.

Xuan Baozhu also came out, his face showed joy, looking at this posture, he knew that his marriage was no problem, but he thought of being a stepmother to his two children, and he felt uncomfortable, and he lost his smile for a while.

"Dad is back, this Chang family is really rich, our sister-in-law will be a young grandmother in the future, and we will also be wiped out. Wang shouted loudly, and the people around him probably knew what was going on, and they all whispered.

Ma was originally a person who liked to put on the shelf, and just wanted to say this good thing, but he didn't know how to speak, and Wang said in her heart at once: "Don't shout nonsense about the fourth daughter-in-law, there is no dowry, and the marriage contract is also oral." ”

This is to clearly admit the meaning of Wang, but leave some leeway, this is Ma's cleverness, he doesn't say anything and does it himself, and he has to talk about three points.

Some of the neighbors with solid eyes began to say some congratulatory words, and some jealous whispers said something unpleasant, such as the little daughters-in-law at the base of the wall whispered:

"You see that little girl from the Xuan family looks darker than her mother, and she can't read, can people take a fancy to her?"

"Who knows what people have to do with it, whether they want to be concubines?"

"Maybe it's someone else's son who has money and helps his sister?"

"Come on, just Xuan Laosan's porcelain shop, I heard that it doesn't make any money. ”

……

In short, there are some people who like to chew the root of the tongue at all times, especially in ancient times when there was no entertainment.

However, the Xuan family didn't have time to pay attention to other people's words, and Xuan Wenbao could be regarded as having seen the world, so he took out ten cents and handed it to the coachman: "Trouble the coachman." ”

The coachman did not shirk it, took the money and put it in his sleeve and said goodbye.

The Xuan family naturally wanted to move things to the upper house, and Xuan Wentao and Xuan Wenjiang couldn't watch it, so they also went over to help move it.

When I got to the upper house, of course, these things would not be taken out for everyone to share, they were all put on the kang tip, and how to deal with the distribution naturally depended on Ma's.

Old Man Xuan was happy, sat down and said: "Master Chang said, even if I don't go, people will come to propose marriage at the end of the year, as for the outer room of the fifth son, the Chang family does not admit it, even if he gives birth to two sons, it is useless, Master Chang is a person who talks about credit and gratitude." ”

Ma Shi smiled when he heard this: "That's good, if you keep it in the outer room, you can't even count as a concubine, and you won't be at the disposal of our treasure beads in the future." ”

Xuan Miaoer has always been worried that if Ma smiles like this, the powder on her face will fall off, but Ma's technique is very good, and Xuan Miaoer is worried that it will be redundant.

Xuan Baozhu looked reluctant, and there was nothing embarrassed, muttering: "But after all, there are still two children." ”

Without waiting for Ma to speak, the fourth aunt Wang said: "What's there, Master Chang doesn't admit it, then you can't enter the family tree, and when you give birth to a son, it will still be the eldest son." ”

"The fourth daughter-in-law said this today. Ma's face was powdery, and the folds deepened when he smiled.

Xuan Miaoer felt that this marriage was not a good thing, but she couldn't say it, people thought she was jealous of other people's good lives, she didn't cause trouble, anyway, it was quite interesting to watch the excitement on the side.

Old Man Xuan was happy, let the family add vegetables at night, and also went to cut a knife of meat, and when it was time to eat in the evening, the pile of gifts on the kang was packed up by Ma's, naturally there was nothing to do with Xuan Miaoer's family, as for how others divided, she didn't know, and she didn't want to know.

The Xuan family hadn't been happy for a few days, and on the morning of the third day, a car was parked outside the gate of the Xuan family.

A young couple came down, the woman was holding a good-looking little boy in her hand, and the handsome man next to her was holding a little chubby boy about one year old and walked in.

Xuan Miaoer was just about to go out with Xuan Anhao to dig wild vegetables, and when she saw that this was about to be a show again, the two put the small basket and shovel under the eaves, and hurriedly went back to the house to report to the Liu family.

Liu Shi was doing the soles of his shoes along the side of the kang, and he also heard the sound of carriages outside, and was just about to stand up, when he saw Xuan Miaoer and Xuan Anhao running in.

"Who's coming?" asked Liu as he put the soles of his shoes on the kang table.

"I don't know, I guess it's the fifth son of the Chang family and his wife and children. From the first time she saw this family, Xuan Miaoer had a number in her heart.

"Sister, how did you guess?" Xuan Anhao looked at Xuan Miao'er with admiration, with a puzzled expression.

"Look at the dress, the age, and the two children, especially the eye contact between the husband and wife. "Xuan Miaoer is actually quite envious of these two people, because when they look at each other, their eyes are full of affection.
