Qin Bai's delivery of the sacrificial field went quite smoothly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he asked Zhou Xiangnian to buy 100 acres of medium-sized fertile land in a slightly remote place around Songjiang Fucheng, which was also worth thousands of taels of silver. This deed was directly handed over to Ye Xiucai, and the other party accepted it after a few words.

When the old cousin of the Ye family learned about it, he was angry and asked his son to return the land deed, saying that he refused to accept the food that came to him, and there was no reason for the Ye family's sacrificial field to ask someone with a foreign surname to buy it. But all his family knelt before him and cried.

Everyone knows that the dozens of acres of land in the family are just barely making ends meet, but the grandchildren of the younger generation have also reached the age of marrying wives and having children, and the family has no spare money to hold dowry and happy events. Moreover, with the current situation of the Ye family, they can't marry the daughters of any decent families, and the old man still doesn't allow merchant women to get started, and the first choice for choosing a daughter-in-law is a family with the same study and fame, and the second choice is a solid village or a small and medium-sized landlord. However, these two characters may not look down on the Ye family, so the one who enters the door the most is the daughter of an ordinary peasant family, who has no dowry, but still has some spinning, weaving and embroidery skills, which can help make a living. Now the Ye family is becoming more and more like a farmer's door, just because there are still Xiucai and Tongsheng, they can barely be called a farming and reading heirloom. At this point, the old man also pushed out the 100 acres of land sent to the door, with the intention of starving future generations? !

Although Qin Bai is a foreigner, he is the son of the serious Ye family's aunt and grandmother, and he is the grandson and nephew of the Ye family. What does it matter if he is a nephew who honors his uncle's family for a few acres of land? After all, he also has the blood of the Ye family in his body!

The children and grandchildren of the Ye family knelt on the ground, crying and begging, and several daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law even ignored it, crying and shouting that they couldn't live this day, and asked their husbands to write a letter of divorce for themselves, and they were willing to take their young children back to their parents' homes to live. In this place in Songjiang, as long as a woman can spin and weave, how can she support herself, it is better to stay in her husband's house and work hard, feed a large family, and still can't eat enough, can't wear warm, the son has to suffer from the old man's rattan every day, and is forced to study, the daughter began to learn spinning and weaving at a young age, earning money to support the family, but when she grows up, she can't even prepare a decent dowry, and because the old man is picky about her in-laws, her daughter has not been able to marry out when she is old......

The Ye family was in a mess, and Qin Bai, who sent the deed to the door, was restless, and almost turned around and ran away. To be honest, he had never experienced this kind of scene......

Fortunately, although Uncle Ye was a little detoured, he was not really ruthless. He can beat and scold his own children and grandchildren, but he is much more tolerant of his daughters-in-law and granddaughters. It's not that he feels sorry for these daughters-in-law and pities them for supporting the family, but that he feels that he is a dignified scholar and is not good at dealing with women, and he has to obey the rules even if he says a few more words on weekdays. Seeing his daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law crying loudly, eager to pounce on him and hug his legs, he didn't take long to coax, and only muttered a few words in his mouth: "What a system! What a system!" Then he turned his back and got into the study with a thatched roof and yellow mud wall.

Qin Bai's land deed was sent out so smoothly.

With this industry, a few shopkeepers and guys will help keep an eye on it, beware of sudden changes in the Ye family, and be able to lend a helping hand in time, Qin Bai will be relieved. When he was about to leave, he also entrusted Ye Xiucai, a cousin: "My cousin has told me the address where my uncle moved later, and I will send someone to deliver the letter." It's just that it was more than 20 years ago, and I'm not sure if they've moved somewhere else. If you have any new news here, just write to me, cousin. If you feel that the Marquis Mansion in Beijing is too far away, and the people living in Qinzhuang in Jiangning County are from my family, you can send a letter over there, and send it to Qin Keliang of the sect or Qin Kewen of the fourth room. These two nephews have always been close to me, and I am sure that I will report them to me as soon as possible. I also have an eldest grandson who will study in the clan for a few years, and my family will wait with me. It's just that this grandson is still young, and I am afraid that he will make a mistake, so I entrusted it to the clansmen. ”

Ye Xiucai agreed: "Cousin Qin, don't worry, I know what to do." Cousin doesn't have to worry too much. When we moved out, although I was still young, I also remember that the old family had a good time, and the people lived in one place, which was very lively, eating fish and meat, and wearing silk and satin. Our family moved out because the older generation made mistakes and was ashamed to see the clansmen again. In fact, the clan has long been discouraged and has been persuading us to go back. It was his father's stubborn temper that refused to agree, and he was willing to go back only when there was a person or a jinshi in the family, and he was willing to go back when he glorified his ancestors. Those of us who are children and grandchildren have no choice but to follow his wishes. It's a pity that I'm old and have limited talents, so I haven't been able to let my father get his wish, and I'm ashamed in my heart. ”

"Oh?" Qin Bai pursed his lips, "Does my cousin have any written articles?"

Ye Xiucai's eyes lit up, he had been waiting for this sentence for a long time! His son accosted Qin Bai's entourage, but after inquiring about Qin Bai's teaching for more than 20 years when he was in the northwest, he taught several people and jinshi, how could he be better than him in terms of learning!

So Qin Bai didn't make it, and sat down in the Ye family's courtyard again. Ye Xiucai sent a few of his most proud articles, and kept an extra eye, and brought the most clever and intelligent children among his children and grandchildren, and asked them to do the work of pouring tea and water, and dedicate their hospitality.

Qin Bai flipped through his article, and he knew it in his heart. This cousin is indeed limited in talent, and he is already very lucky to be able to pass the examination, with his age, if he works hard for a few more years, at most he will be at the bottom of the list in the township examination, and it is impossible to go up again. However, it is nothing for Qin Bai to make a name for himself, but it is enough to make his cousin's branch return to the clan, so it is better than nothing.

Qin Bai pointed out Ye Xiucai a few words, picked out the biggest shortcomings in his article, recommended a few books for him to read, and then said: "It is difficult to make progress behind closed doors after all." I set up a clan school in Qinzhuang, and invited a few talented gentlemen to teach, most of the students are the children of the Qin clan, there are also children of in-laws, or nearby families to study, among them there are also Xiucai, Tongsheng. If your cousin doesn't dislike it, you might as well go to the attached library, and it is better to have a gentleman to correct and communicate with classmates than to study at home alone. ”

He looked at a few juniors again: "If there are children in the family with good talents, they can also make progress if they take them together for a few years." If there is another talent, my cousin's family will be much easier. I will greet the clan, your bondage, we are out of this room. ”

Ye Xiucai was so moved that he almost knelt down for him. When the children and grandchildren of the family got the news, they also rushed over and cried and thanked them. It's not easy for everyone, because the family is hard, and they don't even have the money to go out to study, and they can't invite a husband or enter the school, the son's generation is taught by Ye Laotang's uncle, and the grandson's generation is taught by the son's generation. Uncle Ye Laotang himself does not have a reputation for showing talent, but he has only studied in the clan school for a few years since he was a child, what good students can he teach? Now that Qin Bai has come, even the problem of teachers has been solved for them, so how can they not be grateful?

In the end, even the old cousin came out of the study, shook hands and saw off Qin Bai, let him come over and have a look when he was free, he didn't have to work hard to go this trip if he was not free, there were one or two letters every year telling him to know that his nephew was fine in Beijing, and asked Qin Bai how his family was, let Qin Bai take care of his body more, don't be too tired, Yunyun.

When Qin Bai returned home that day, he was finally in a happy mood, and he still had a smile on his face.

Qin Hanzhen asked him about his harvest of the day, and he was a little speechless in his heart. How could the Ye family not be grateful? His grandfather sent fields and school places, but he helped the Ye family a lot. It's just that the uncle of the Ye family is too roundabout, it turns out that he refuses to go back to Shuzhong and there is such a lawsuit. He insisted on fighting for his ancestors, but he suffered his children and grandchildren. If they are still in the clan, the Ye family is also a scholarly heirloom, so that even if their children and grandchildren want to study, they will have nowhere to find their husband.

However, since Qin Bai was willing to help their family, he spent a thousand taels of silver. The most important thing is that Qin Bai got the address of Mrs. Ye's brother and clansman from the Ye family, and he finally had the opportunity to contact his uncle's family!

The purpose of coming to Songjiang and his party has been achieved, and Qin Bai plans to leave. There was news from the fleet, they had arrived at the Jiaxing wharf, just waiting for Qin Bai and the others to go to rendezvous.

When Qin Hanzhen learned about the day of departure, he immediately asked Qingxing to take people to buy a few cotton-clothed bedding, arranged a carriage, and prepared a small table, tea set, snacks, hand stove and foot stove and other items. On the day when everyone set off by car, without waiting for Huang Qingfang to invite, they invited her to their own carriage first, and finally solved the problem that the Huang family's carriage was too bumpy and caused her trouble. The journey was quite comfortable, although cold and bumpy were inevitable, and it was more comfortable than going to Songjiang.

Even Huang Qingfang joked with a smile, saying that she would enjoy it.

Qin Hanzhen said with a smile: "Life is in the world, there are conditions, of course, you have to make yourself comfortable." Isn't it stupid to have a better life, but to insist on suffering? When I was a child, I was also quite rough, but after a serious illness, I had to vomit for half a day when I went out to take a carriage, and I could walk more than half a day for ten miles, and then I had to lie in bed and rest for half a day. Since then, I've come to my senses. Going out, although not as good as at home, but it is better to make yourself comfortable than to make yourself uncomfortable, and even the efficiency of rushing can be much improved. ”

Huang Qingfang pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this: "That's a good thing to say." It seems that I can't live too roughly, I should be better to myself. Hengzhu's family is not short of this bit of silver, only one thought is missing. ”

Qin Hanzhen glanced at her and laughed out loud with tacit understanding. Niu and Mrs. Huang Jincheng heard it in the carriage and sent someone to ask, "What kind of jokes are the girls talking about?" The former ladies heard it and were very curious. ”

Qin Hanzhen and Huang Qingfang laughed again, and the latter joked to her girl: "We are thinking about how to spend the family's money, the abacus is loud!"

The girl was confused: "Is the girl joking?"

Huang Qingfang didn't even care about the handkerchief to cover her mouth this time, and laughed directly in the car.
