The banquet is less and less important the further it goes, if the guests on the second day can still be on par with the eldest lord, the third day is almost reserved for those who ask for gifts from the Ye family. There are also people such as the shopkeeper Zhou, who only give gifts and dare not participate in the banquet. Shopkeeper Zhou has been very sad recently, everyone knows that he was smashed by his wife's mother's family, and there are more people who watch the excitement than help. It was easy to reopen the shop with years of savings, but business was much worse. In the end, most of the people in charge are big wives, no matter whether they deal with the Ye family or not, they will not think about problems from the position of a little wife. Or there is a wife who is angry with the little wife, and she still claps her hands behind her back. But the Ye family didn't dare to offend, so they asked countless people to find the garden tree and walked twice, and Fang Zhen stayed a little bit and barely supported it. was a little relieved, and caught up with the old lady's birthday, so he had to borrow a lot of silver to buy a decent gift. Limited by money, it is impossible to be brilliant, so don't grudge. Thinking back to the good days before, Fang Zhi at this moment is not easy to mess with, and wives without sons are not easy to mess with. However, it was too late to regret it, but fortunately, the garden tree had grown, and the people around them did not dare to trample on them. The grandson of the Ye family, he can't deal with the eldest wife, and he can't deal with the flat-headed people, isn't it a matter of saying a word? Otherwise, the Zhou family would have collapsed long ago.

Wei Qiang's family sent it much simpler, and their family could barely get by. If you don't have money, you only have heart. The father and son of the Wei family both knew some words and wrote a few volumes of Buddhist scriptures to express their hearts. The Ye family has no shortage of flattering people, and some people think about any kind of idea, if it weren't for the fact that everyone was stunned, the Wei family's Buddhist scriptures would have been treated as papyrus. It's kind of a futile. These are all small, and the merchants who are attached to the Ye family are ruthless. I can't wait to even send a copy of Xiaoba's nurse. Tingfang got a lot of things, and the Chen family was lazy to take her, so she put it all by herself, and when she was older, she would make friends and exchange with others.

On the third day, the banquet opened early, and the troupe was not invited, so the stall was closed before the time. The birthday banquet was fully prepared, and two new forces, Yang Anqin and Ting Yao, were added, and everything was in order. The old lady left the Yue family to sweep the tail with Ting Yao, and sat in the main house at home, joking with her grandson and daughter. Coincidentally, a new guest came, and everyone was talking lively.

Ting Yao was not there, and the seat next to the old lady was empty, and it happened that Miao Xi was sitting. The old lady was not idle yesterday, and at this moment Fang asked carefully, "Has my sister ever been to school?" ”

Miao Xixi replied in a low voice: "Back to the old lady, I have never been on it, only my father taught a few words." ”

The old lady smiled, "But I am modest." We have a school in our house, and your sisters and sisters are studying in it, and they happen to be companions together. ”

Miao Qin's family had long heard from his sister that Yefu was a family student, and he wanted to live in Bailai, precisely because Mr. Kang was born as a Jinshi. It would be great if the idlers could invite an old showman, and Jinshi couldn't even think of it. But last night, I found out that Yefu's home school was actually mixed with men and women, which was very unruly. Glancing at Ting Fang not far away, the sister who fought with the boy wouldn't take her daughter badly, right? It's just that people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and they have to endure it for the sake of their son.

The old lady is old and sophisticated, so naturally she doesn't want the children of her relatives to drag her own children back. She was not very literate - boys in the country were not necessarily literate, and girls were even more so. Half of her belly of ink was taught by the old man when she first got married. The sparse words in one hand have been ridiculed by my wife for decades, but fortunately, I have kept up with my knowledge, so that I will not be disliked. Between questions and answers, the foundation of the Miao family brothers and sisters is set up. It's similar to what she guessed, in a small place, maybe the boy will fight in the imperial examination, and the girl can write her name. Miao Xixi and Miao Wenlin are dragon and phoenix fetuses, and they are more pleasing than the girls next to them, so they were taught the three-character scripture by their father when his father did not pass away. If you go any further, you can't. And Miao Wenlin had only learned from his husband in a private school before, and then his grandfather taught him personally after entering Beijing, and his level was about the same as Chen Gong. Compared with Chen Gong, he is four years younger, and the Miao family's education is not enough!

Trying out the depth of the Miao family's brothers and sisters, the old lady suddenly lost interest. Under the influence of her husband, she prefers talented ones to good-looking ones. It didn't come out on the face, but the topic changed direction. Turning his head and asking Tingfang, "Did you play chess with the girl waiting for the family before?" How is she going? "Among the girls who came that day, it seems that only Hou Jingrong is a top-notch child, and the future will not be too bad, and it is very important for his granddaughter to make friends with him.

Ting Fang stood up and said, "It's okay." She also said that she would give me a chess game, and I don't know what to give back. ”

The old lady thought for a while and said, "Her family is not rich, I think there are no good chess pieces." You pick up a pair that is similar to her, so that you can take it to your husband's house in the future. ”

Chen smiled: "It's still early, and when she gets married, I will add a good one." ”

The old lady said: "Let their little sisters walk around first, but you can buy it with the pocket money of the fourth sister." Our grown-ups belong to adults, don't get involved with them. In the past, the two families rarely moved, and if they were too valuable, they were afraid that they would not accept it. "Some things are not good to say when there are many people talking. The two factions used to be not very good at each other, but now for the same goal, they are trying their best to move around without attracting attention, and having children as a bridge is an excellent start.

Yang Anqin didn't know what to do, and asked, "But the old lady has a crush on someone's family?" ”

The old lady shook her head and smiled: "Such a good girl, our brother is not worthy." I don't have the shame to mention it. My uncle's wife can think about it or two. ”

Yang Anqin hurriedly waved his hand: "Chen Qian has nothing, I can't open my mouth." "Chen Qian was able to save capital when he was able to save capital, but he was too old to be admitted to the child's examination, so he tried to find a way to say goodbye. Now it is impossible to distract him, Bo is a young talent, what a good girl? There is no hurry.

Speaking of the children's marriage, except for Ting Fang, the rest of the people present were ashamed. Miao Qin's clan looked at the children quietly, turned his head and asked Qin's clan quietly: "That is the eldest in your mansion. Lord? ”

Qin nodded: "Yes, it's the one from the big house." As I told you, the original big house was just a phoenix egg, which was very precious. Later, my sister-in-law gave birth to a brother, and now there is no sound. ”

Miao Qin looked at it again, thinking in his heart. Needless to say, the Miao family's family is in the capital, and the children's marriages either rely on their fathers or sisters. The eldest son, but he is a concubine, and his identity is a little embarrassing, but he just has a plan. She had already made such an idea, and today she took a closer look at the garden tree, and her face was like a crown of jade, and she was very satisfied. It's just not good to speak rashly. It's still small, so let's leave it there. As for the son, the boy can be later, just pick the good one.

The old lady and the others talked about the shortcomings of their parents, and the Qin family and the Miao Qin family were completely unable to interject. They are not in that circle, even if the Qin family has been married for more than ten years, no one has ever hidden anything from her, and they still don't talk much. One is that she rarely goes out to banquets, and the other is that the family treats those who don't pay much attention to her, and she doesn't know how to be funny, so she is naturally blocked out by invisible barriers, and I don't know why. Most family gatherings were silent.

Today I came back from eating and drinking, and the people were very complete. Even Chen Qian and Chen Gong, who had not come much in the past, found a place to sit. When the old lady talked about how the visitor was going this time, Chen Qian could still hold on, but Chen Gong was a fart. There are thorns on the thighs, and they can no longer live in peace. Yang Anqin only felt that her hands were itchy, coughed lightly, and said, "Tingji, you. . . Mother, do you still have rattan? Mix me with a stick. ”

Ting Jue laughed: "Yes, how much does my aunt want?" After speaking, he squeezed his eyebrows at Chen Gong.

Chen Gong ignored him, and now he Chen Gong is also a boss person, so he simply jumped directly to Ting Fang: "Fourth sister, you said yesterday that you planted mushrooms, why don't you plant them again?" ”

"Didn't you take the spores yesterday? Put it in the sawdust and forget it? Ting Fang remembered that she had been grinding by two bear children for half an afternoon yesterday, and rolled her eyes. She was originally gossiping, but now that the whole world knows that she has finished math and is engaged in mushrooms! Fortunately, I don't plan to get married, otherwise I will have to be left in the next life!

"Won't it be long?" Chen Gong asked worriedly, "Can it really grow a lot?" Is it possible to get rich? ”

Yang Anqin asked with a smile: "Yes, some mushrooms are quite expensive, they can really be grown, and they are also a livelihood." ”

Ting Fang said: "How can it be so easy, it's all my guess, I don't know if it can be done." "It's just a matter of being a real yàn and changing your brains, everyone is serious.

The long-haired Qin family who was on the backdrop was finally able to pick up the phone, and hurriedly said: "Our fourth sister is becoming more and more capable, and we can earn our own monthly money to spend." ”

Ting Fang smiled: "That can't be earned." I thought that Zhenyu was going to marry in the countryside, and the family was quite prosperous, and there should be a cellar where mushrooms could be grown. She didn't care about the livelihood of her family, so she just got some money to exchange for a few pocket flowers. I still have to rely on my mother's subsidy for my monthly money. "Business channels are king, and the small peasant economy is forcing Britain to only sell opium, how can it be so easy to make a fortune. What's more, she is not a major in agronomy, and now it is only in the trial stage, and the yield cannot be guaranteed at all. There is no stable industrial process, that is, a pocket money level, and it has to be the pocket money of Zhenyu's low-level working people, and at the speed at which she burns money, she can't supply all the mushrooms in Yefu.

Sure enough, Chen scolded with a smile: "You sisters are the best flower!" I made toys at two ends in three days, and I planed wood! Thanks to your father's earnings, raising you is more expensive than raising a little pug! ”

Ting Fang immediately threw herself into Chen's arms: "Why does my mother compare me with a dog?" Is the pug as good-looking as I am? Besides, I will be able to earn it in the future! What does my mother want and think about making a list first, I make a plan, a three-year plan, a five-year plan, and I will buy it all to honor you, don't be so stingy now! ”

After packing up his things, the Yue family heard this sentence when he entered the door, and couldn't help laughing: "Sister-in-law hurry up and write, I want to see what she makes money." ”

Ting Yao also smiled: "Oh, it's a pity that I'm only nine years old, and I'm still far from getting married, and I can't do the dowry, what should I do?" ”

Ting Fang snorted: "You look down on people! The sage said that knowledge is power! Let's see. I'll buy a big phoenix hairpin belt for my mother another day! ”

Chen smiled: "Come on, there is more and more no score in the mouth." Which saint said such strange things? I have a phoenix hairpin, so I don't need you to buy it. The wind flashed his tongue, and it was a big matter to lose someone in front of his aunt. ”

Miao Qin hurriedly continued: "A piece of filial piety, no longer ashamed." ”

Ting Fang saw that everyone didn't believe her, and she also felt that no one believed the little girl when she said that she made money. But knowledge can indeed be exchanged for money, when the documentaries in her last life were all watched in vain? Touching his chin and thinking about it, someone from outside came to report: "Old lady, His Royal Highness King Fu has come down." ”

Ting Fang's eyes lit up, and she laughed and said, "Mother, you have your phoenix hairpin." ”

Chen's face changed drastically, and he shouted: "If you dare to ask him, I will break your legs!" ”
