Chapter 51 A Family Has a Woman and a Hundred Families
Zhou Li looked at this Xue Yu coldly, and he didn't speak. It's just that as soon as he heard that Xue Yu was going to do something related to the summer, then he must find ways to get involved.
That day, he went to Xia's house with Xue Yu to collect military rations, and Zhou Li also watched from the sidelines. When Xiaoyu rode on the wall and scolded Xue Yu, Zhou Li secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart, this person is really not a thing.
When Xiaoyu slapped the soles of his shoes on Xue Yu's face, Zhou Li was so happy that he jumped up. If he hadn't known that he was worried about his identity, he would have rushed over and hugged Xiaoyu in his arms and rubbed it vigorously. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, I caught a glimpse of Xue Shizi grabbing Xiaoyu's embroidered shoes in his hand. Then, with such a calm look, he stuffed the embroidered shoes into his quiver.
Zhou Li felt as disgusting as if he had eaten a fly, and he wanted to immediately pounce and knock Xue Yu to the ground. Then he used Xiaoyu's embroidered shoes to open the bow left and right and beat him hard. This kind of ungrateful, two-faced bastard also deserves to like Xiaoyu.
Zhou Li pondered for two or three days and then went to Princess Xing to discuss: "Mother, now the family is stable. With the Xia family, do you want to find another time to invite them to the house to play. ”
Princess Xing couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she heard this, and looked at Zhou Li without speaking.
Zhou Li's face was also a little blushing with shame, and he said after a while: "I really want to take care of the Xia family for this military rations." But, however, it is not justified now. ”
Princess Xing's heart couldn't help but sink, but her face didn't show half a point: "What, did Xue Shizi say anything?" ”
As soon as Xue Yu was mentioned, Zhou Li's eyes suddenly became sharp: "This person, hum!" Hum! Miss Xia also saved him in the past, and he went to Xia's house to collect grain, but he didn't leave any face, and the collection was all gone. ”
Princess Xing couldn't help but smile when she heard this: "Then the Xia family has no food to eat, and they are hungry?" Otherwise, you quietly send someone to bring some food. ”
Zhou Li said to Ai Ai: "That's not true, the Xia family also has some savings." Speaking of this, Zhou Li's voice suddenly raised again, and he said angrily: "However, there is no such thing." There is no way to live at all, and it was discussed at the time, three and a half cars, how about him, after pulling three and a half cars, he has to hide the food for the winter. Where is this requisitioning grain. This, this, this is clearly a food grab, what is the difference between this and banditry. ”
Princess Xing looked at Zhou Li with some sympathy, and nodded: "It's a little ruthless." ”
"It's ruthless, it's clearly brutal!" Zhou Li clenched his fists and slammed them on the table.
Princess Xing looked at her son's expression and wondered in her heart.
Zhou Li gritted his teeth, whether it would damage Xiaoyu's reputation, or swallowed the words that were about to blurt out. Turning his head to look at his mother, he said: "This Xue Yu is better than me in everything, King Yi, he fights bravely, he rushes to the front every time, and he is scheming, if he doesn't dare to use Xue Shizi's name, I'm afraid that it will be spread everywhere long ago." ”
"I followed him to the northwest the previous time, and I spent a lot of effort, but the stubborn old man of the Lan family ignored me at all. Xue Yu just invited Lan Shizi to have a meal, and the Lan family deserved it. ”
"This time I came back to collect military rations, you also saw it, both soft and hard, and it was only a month, and I actually got seventy-seven, eighty-eight."
Princess Xing looked at her son quietly, speculating on his hostile praise: "Your father is worried about the military rations." It's not just right. ”
Zhou Li smiled coldly, and did not follow his mother's words, but said to himself: "Although I am not as shrewd and capable as him, I am not completely stupid, don't you know his thoughts." He just sold it to the Xia family, which could not only deter other villagers, but also prevent the Xia family from having no place in the village. Hmph, it's a good idea. ”
After that, Zhou Li raised his head and looked at his mother fixedly, and said, "Thinking about it, I am better than Xue Shizi in having a mother who loves me." ”
Princess Xing looked at Zhou Li dumbly, and the words of persuasion were blocked in her throat for a while, and she couldn't say half a sentence. Xue Yu's mother died of illness when he was a teenager, and now the family is taken care of by this concubine Xu. I heard that the protector of the country likes this Concubine Xu very much in private, and has always wanted to replace the son with the eldest son born to Concubine Xu. Even if Xue Yu likes the girl of the Xia family, it will not be possible without his mother to make Zhang Luo for him.
After dinner, King Xing rested at Princess Xing's place as usual. Princess Xing couldn't help but sigh and said to King Xing: "I can't imagine that Li'er is still thinking about the little girl of the Xia family, although she is also very smart, but"
King Xing said with a smile: "However, the background is still a little worse, not a little, a little, right." Speaking of which, their family has been in the past few years, this is a war, and the imperial examination has been delayed. If you want me to say, there is nothing bad about this family business, and the future of the small family will also save the third brother from taboos. ”
Princess Xing listened and sighed: "It's not that I dislike the poor and love the rich, and I am picky about the gateway of their family. At that time, there were many things, and it was the time when life and death were on the line. There are some things I haven't had time to say. ”
At this time, although the dust has not yet settled, it is not as if it was waiting to be killed in the past. When King Xing remembered the days of a few months ago, he couldn't help but be a little afraid.
Princess Xing continued: "That talented lady, I also know that you have checked. However, my heart is just not steady. As he spoke, he looked at King Xing with a little apology on his face: "It's not that I can't trust your subordinates, it's true, this matter is too much, and I don't know how to tell you, I'm afraid this talented lady is not that simple." ”
Seeing that King Xing raised his eyebrows disappreciably, Princess Xing continued: "Things in this world, you don't want to pretend to do it, it's difficult!" But if you can, it's not easy to pretend you can't. ”
King Xing tilted his head and looked at Princess Xing thoughtfully: "What do you see?" ”
Princess Xing frowned and shook her head: "Alas! It's good to see it. If it is a large family in an ordinary place, the etiquette is also understood. But if you can be rude in front of the princess, and if you are still a little at ease, you have to ask the palace teacher to learn from you. ”
King Xing is a man, so naturally he couldn't think of so much, and he couldn't help but look at the princess when he heard it at this time.
"Have you ever heard of a great family in the northwest whose surname is Lu."
King Xing shook his head: "I checked it at the time, but it was just an ordinary rich family." There have only been two or three fourth-grade Beijing officials in the family, but there are no more recently. ”
Princess Xing sighed: "That style, that look looks very familiar, this person is on her lips, but I can't think of it." I don't figure it out, but when I tell Li'er, I'm always worried in my heart. ”
King Xing also stroked his chin at this time and hung his head in contemplation.
"But at this moment, this little enemy can't wait." As he spoke, he learned Zhou Li's words again.
King Xing's brows couldn't help frowning, and he said after a while: "This Xue Yu has some means, but he is so good at both "loyalty and righteousness". I think that the Xia family is secretly grateful to him, in the end, they want their ancestors to live here for generations. Li'er has grown up, and it is rare that she understands it in her heart, and now she knows that she wants to borrow your momentum. "Then look at Princess Xing with your eyes, as if your son has already released his words and is counting on you now.
The princess couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "I'm not worried about Xue Shizi, when his mother was alive, he was appointed as the daughter of the Jiangnan Festival envoy. At the beginning of this year, the girl and the two families had already done their family affairs. It's useless for him to think about it, that Xiucai lady, you haven't seen it, although she looks kind and angry on her face, but I think she can't rub sand in her eyes, and she refuses to let her daughter be small. ”
asked again: "Then how did Xue Yu convince the Lan family, Li'er was so angry." ”
King Xing stroked his chin and said, "There is no movement from the two families now. Left is nothing but fame and fortune. ”
The couple talked like this for a while before going to sleep.
A few days later, Xue Yu left with grain and grass. Zhou Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, and vaguely heard from his mother that Xue Yu had already married, but he no longer urged Princess Xing to invite the Xia family's mother and daughter to play.
The villagers of Fengxiang Mansion were hungry and full, and they were slowly suffering into winter. It's just that the days are getting more and more difficult, and people are trying to eat everything that can be eaten in the nearby mountains and lakes. King Xing issued a proclamation for conscription, and the poor one who couldn't open the pot was really like what Xiaoyu said, and happily sent his son to the army, and even some boys in the family were still young and thrown into the barracks. I can eat enough every day, and I can still have a little money every month. Ruhai saw it, and admired the little aunt more and more.
It didn't take long for King Xing to receive the news: King Yi had hired the three girls of the Lan family as his wife. When she returned to the room, Princess Tongxing couldn't help but say: "If it weren't for the fact that he had become a relative, this Xue Shizi would really be Li'er's rival." Look at this idea, it's really a coincidence, King Yi's concubine has not yet given birth to an eldest son. The Lan family made money this time, but it was not a wine and dinner that could be negotiated. ”
When the Chinese New Year was approaching, Second Brother Xia came back in the dust. Let the Xia family, who was originally a little lifeless, suddenly come alive, if the weather was not too cold, Xiaoyu would have to follow Second Brother Xia into the mountains to hunt some game. Although the Xia family still has a lot of food, but the whole village is like this, they are not good at eating and drinking, and they are all fat-headed and big-eared. As a result, except for a few children, the adults have lost a lot of weight without exception.
The day before the Chinese New Year, I received a letter from the sixth brother, and there was actually a letter to Xia Xiucai and Xiao Xia Pozi in it, which was sealed in the letter, and it seemed that I didn't want to show it to other people.
Xiao Xia Pozi and Xia Xiucai saw it, and hurriedly called the second and fifth brothers to their rooms, covered the doors and windows, and then whispered: "Listening to Yanshou, Lan Haoxin showed her mouth and fell in love with our Xiaoyu." I'm looking for someone to talk about the matchmaker. He said that he was going to find the wife who sent the commander. Let's think about a solution. ”
The second brother and the fifth brother looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
But the second brother said: "It's a lot older and a lot of rain." ”
Xiao Xia shook her head, but the appearance of six or seven years old is really not much.
