However, my father and mother have such a temper......

In fact, he didn't care if he was in the middle of it, the master once said that he only wanted a child who could help him continue the Li family's incense, and the others had no requirements for him.

The sister of the Li family has a soft temperament and treats people kindly. Not only is the person good-looking, but also has a good temperament, and the most important thing is to be reasonable and fair, unlike the mother and the fourth sister-in-law who can pull out the gourd and bring out the scoop, and they can also break a piece of the sky if they have nothing to do.

Another point is that he has lived in a blacksmith shop for nearly ten years and has long been accustomed to the rumbling bellows and hammering sounds in the blacksmith shop.

Thinking of this, Xia Chengxiang shook his head and laughed lightly at himself in his heart, to put it bluntly, he just didn't want to get involved in these bad things in the old mansion.

The eldest grandmother of the Xia family saw that Xia Chengxiang's expression was wrong, and frowned, "Fifth brother, you tell the truth to the eldest uncle, are you not the girl of the Li family who will not marry?" ”

"Auntie, I ......" Xia Chengxiang didn't want to lie and deceive people, so he opened his mouth and said with a smile, "Yes." ”

"You kid, why can't you think about it like that." The eldest grandmother of the Xia family showed a little anxiety on her face, "Although our Xia family is a poor family that plows the land, it can still survive, and it has not yet reached the point of letting her son join someone else's family, you ......"

The eldest grandmother of the Xia family sighed and looked up to look at the eldest old man of the Xia family.

The eldest old man of the Xia family sat cross-legged on the kang, his eyebrows slightly raised, "Fifth brother, this thing is not easy to do, and your father and mother are afraid that they will not let go." ”

He knows his younger brother too well, his son is his, even if he dies, he will not let his son go into trouble! What's more, Jiuli Pavilion has not had a single person in Jiuli Pavilion for so many years, and I am afraid that only the spitting stars in the village will be able to drown the fifth child at that time.

Alas......

His father and mother won't let go, he can already imagine the coming storm!

Xia Chengxiang smiled and told the Li family girl's personality, Xia Chengye's daughter-in-law Fang smiled and said to Luo, "This girl is a good girl." ”

Roche nodded.

"It would be better if I could get married...... "The eldest grandmother of the Xia family also laughed.

Xia Chengxiang said his master's request again, and the eldest man of the Xia family lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, "If this is the case, this family affair can still be concluded." ”

Xia Chengxiang's eyes lit up, and his eyes showed excitement, "Uncle, really?" ”

"I don't think it's anything, but it doesn't mean that your father and mother ......" Before the old man of the Xia family finished speaking, the excitement on Xia Chengxiang's face faded and was replaced by a wry smile, yes, the uncle thinks it can be done, but it doesn't mean that the father and mother think it can be done!

What the hell is he going to do?

He must marry the sister of the Li family, does he have to split up like the third brother?

……

Coming out of the Xia family's big house, Xia Chengxiang's expression was a little bad, Xia Chenghe and Luo both knew the temper of Mrs. Qiao and Old Man Xia, and the fifth child was not allowed to do so, so he didn't know what to say to persuade him for a while.

"Old Five......

"Third brother, I'm fine." Xia Chengxiang smiled, but his skin and flesh moved, and there was no smile in his eyes.

Xia Chenghe sighed, "Daddy's temperament...... Tell them well, there's always room for maneuver......" The words fell, and he let out a long sigh in his heart.

Uncle Li stretched out his hand and patted Xia Chengxiang on the shoulder.

Banniang and Eleven Niang squeezed their eyebrows and bit their ears, "It must be that grandma dislikes the poor and loves the rich, and doesn't want the fifth uncle to marry the person he likes!" ”

Eleven Niang remembered a few words they had accidentally heard when they were in the inner room, "A daughter...... Into the ......"

Normal people reject it, with the temperament of Mrs. Qiao and Old Man Xia, does her son want to get rich? I'm afraid I don't even have a window!

Eleven Niang raised her eyes to look at Xia Chengxiang, who was pretending to be smiling, a little unbearable. Secretly pulled Luo Shi and asked, Luo Shi sighed regretfully, "It is said that the girl of the Li family is a good one, but no matter how good it is, what can it be?" Which family is willing to let the son who was raised with great difficulty be a son-in-law for someone else's family? Not to mention your grandma......"

Eleven Niang smiled, Luo Shi glared at her daughter, "You are still laughing!" ”

Eleven Niang leaned into Luo's ear and muttered, Luo's eyebrows and eyes were also full of smiles, glaring at her daughter, "You still dare to arrange the elders ......"

Elders?

If they are a little unbearable of the elders, their father will not vomit blood in anger, and Eleven Niang will not lose his life in vain!

"Mother, I have a way, maybe I can make grandma nod, but the little sister-in-law will definitely be angry......"

Luo was happy at first, and then hesitated, "What's the way, you tell your mother first...... Forget it, let's study and study with your father when we get back, and then tell your fifth uncle if we can. ”

Eleven Niang nodded.

The group went to the village chief and Li Zheng's house to pay New Year's greetings, and some of the elders of the older generation in the village paid New Year's greetings, and when they were finished, it was already noon, Xia Chengxiang asked Xia Chenghe's family to go to the old house for dinner, but Xia Chenghe refused, and Uncle Li was beside him to help, "Under the New Year, so as not to make the old lady and the old man unhappy, the third brother should still eat at my house." ”

Xia Chengxiang thought about it and had no choice but to respond, "The third brother took me with him when he left, and the relatives at home didn't need me to go, and I didn't have anything to do." ”

Xia Chenghe and Luo glanced at each other and nodded.

When he went to the old mansion, Old Man Xia's attitude was still not salty, Mrs. Qiao and Xia Hongxia were talking quietly, smiling, I don't know what good things I encountered, and I just waved my hand at Xia Chenghe's farewell to Luo, and didn't say anything unpleasant.

The family said goodbye, and Xia Chengxiang had packed his things and followed.

Still sitting in the Li family's ox cart, Yan Xia drove the carriage not far behind, and waited out of Jiuli Pavilion, and the family got off the ox cart and got into the carriage.

Xia Chengxiang's eyes widened, "Third brother, this ......"

Xia Chenghe subconsciously glanced at Eleven Niang, Eleven Niang bowed his head slightly, and Xia Chenghe smiled, "When Eleven Niang went to the capital, she inadvertently got a painting and was bought at a high price. The carriage and the house where we now live were bought with that silver......"

Xia Chengxiang was stunned, frowned again, and said worriedly

Suddenly, he frowned again, and said worriedly, "The house in the town is so expensive...... Erniang and Sanniang are engaged, and they are about to prepare a dowry, why did you buy a house, third brother......"

Looking like they were afraid that the two would not have a dowry, Erniang and Sanniang glanced at each other, blushing and hanging their heads.

Banniang grinned, "Fifth uncle, you said that the second sister and the third sister were blushing......"

Erniang glared at Banniang in annoyance, and Banniang hugged Xiao Twelve and smiled even more happily.

Xia Chengxiang also laughed loudly, "It's time for us to start looking for a good family......

Banniang snorted, not thinking about it at all, "I won't get married!" I have already thought about it, if I don't get married, I will only recruit money, but I want to give my father and my mother a pension! ”

There was an instant silence in the carriage, Banniang didn't notice it, and continued, "When the time comes, give birth to a few more sons, leave one with my surname, and pass on my father's incense ......"

Roche slapped it over, "What nonsense!" I have good arms and legs with your father, who wants you to retire and send you to the end! His eyes were a little red.

Banniang groaned, covered her head, and said to Luo, "Mother, you beat me stupid!" ”

"When have you ever been smart?!" Roche shook his head helplessly.

Xia Chengxiang's expression was complicated, Xia Chenghe's eyes were relieved and sour, the two sighed together, and looked at each other at the same time, smiling bitterly.

When he arrived in the town, the carriage went straight into Yanghuai Hutong, and when Uncle Fang took the high threshold and the carriage drove into the yard, Xia Chengxiang was a little unacceptable.

"This, this ......"

"Old five, go and sit in the backyard, this living room is too big and consumes charcoal." Xia Chenghe pulled Xia Chengxiang to listen to Hexuan and gave Xia Chengxiang time to digest.

At the beginning, when he knew that a painting of Eleven Niang was sold for 100,000 taels, his mind didn't turn for a long time, and he still felt like he was dreaming after several days.

Xia Chengxiang was listening to He Xuan going back and forth, and then stared at the red Lamei in the small garden in disbelief and asked Xia Chenghe, "Third and third brother, is this the house that Eleven Niang bought with the money she sold her paintings?" ”

Xia Chenghe nodded.

"Such a big ......"

Although their Qingshui Town is not as rich as Yunzhou Mansion, the land in the town is limited, and there are a number of houses built, so the price will naturally not be cheap, such a house costs 1,000 taels, right?

"Old Five, it's cold outside, go back to the house and talk."

Xia Chengxiang belched, followed Xia Chenghe back to listen to Hexuan, just sat down, Yan Xia came in with a tea tray, and put a cup of tea on the coffee table next to Xia Chengxiang with a smile, "Fifth master, please drink tea." ”

Xia Chengxiang was stunned again.

Banniang smiled and leaned to Xia Chengxiang's side, "Fifth uncle, my eleventh mother is capable, right?" This house and carriage were bought with the money earned by Eleven Niang! Yan Xia and Hui Chun were also brought back from the capital by Eleven Niang, and secretly told Uncle Sù that both of them were from the family, which was amazing! ”

The two people who are proud and proud like her are herself!

Eleven Niang couldn't help but chuckle.

Xia Chengxiang looked at Hui Chun, who was standing behind Shi Niang, Yan Xia and Yuan Niang, who were standing next to Hui Chun, who was expressionless and looked stern; Yan Xia smiled with a round face, and lightly blessed his body, "It's just some self-defense skills, and the eighth girl praised it falsely." ”

"What a cow praise, it's obviously very good!" Banniang clenched her fists, "Fifth uncle, I want to learn martial arts from Yan Xia, do you want to learn?" ”

"This kid ...... It's endless! Roche shook his head.

Xia Chengxiang was trapped in the whirlpool of getting rich overnight in the third room and couldn't climb out, until Xia Chenghe asked him with a calm face, "Old Five, do you think this method is feasible?" ”

"What?" Xia Chengxiang came back to his senses and asked Xia Chenghe.

Xia Chenghe repeated what Eleven Niang and Luo had said.

Xia Chengxiang was silent.

"You go back and discuss with the girl of the Li family, if she has no opinion, you have a ...... of family affairs" Xia Chenghe's words were not finished, Xia Chengxiang had already spoken out, "Third brother, I don't want the sister of the Li family to live by looking at her mother's face!" ”

Eleven Niang chuckled lightly on the side, "Fifth uncle, the Li family's blacksmith shop is the marriage of the little sister-in-law, there is such a shop with money, and the grandmother doesn't dare to do anything to the little sister-in-law!" ”

Xia Chenghe and Luo nodded with a smile.

Xia Chenghe said loudly, "When the time comes, you will become relatives and have a son, just choose one to give the Li family incense." No matter what my mother has to say, she can't stop you from being the child's father! ”

Roche chimed in.

Xia Chengxiang was a little moved, and thought for a while, "Then I'll go back and discuss with the master and the sister of the Li family......"

Sending Xia Chengxiang to the gate, Xia Chengxiang suddenly said to Xia Chenghe, "Third brother, the matter of the house...... It's better to hide it from your father and mother first, lest you ...... Regeneration incidents. ”

"Eleven Niang also means this." Xia Chenghe smiled, half helpless and half relieved, helpless that his father and mother would definitely have a moth if he knew, and he was relieved that his daughter was more thoughtful than him.

Xia Chengxiang also smiled, "This girl is getting smarter and smarter." ”

……

The second day of the Lunar New Year is the day to go back to my parents' home.

Early in the morning, Roche packed up the things that went to Wukeshu and loaded them into the carriage.

He shouted that the family had eaten and left for the city early.

Halfway through, I met Aunt Luo's family who went to Wukeshu in an ox cart, two cousins who hadn't seen each other for a long time, and a little cousin with a tiger's brain.

Luo Shi hurriedly asked Yan Xia to stop the carriage and called Aunt Luo to come up.

The ox cart driver said, "Hey, what is this about, I said that I would go to five trees and ten copper plates, and I won't refund the money if I sit halfway!" ”

"I won't ask you to return the money! Eldest sister, Yu girl, Yue girl, it's cold outside, get in the car......" Luo lifted the curtain, smiled and hugged the little cousin in Aunt Luo's arms, "Oh, we can all come to grandma's house this year, come, come to the second aunt." ”

The little cousin has a pair of danfeng eyes, and when he laughs, he is slender and long, and he can't see the eyes.

He didn't recognize his life at all, and watched Luo's outstretched hand stand up from Aunt Luo's arms, pounce over, Aunt Luo exclaimed in fright, pulled him back, and slapped him on the buttocks, "This stinky boy is not afraid of falling out of the car......"

…”

The little cousin giggled, and was spanked by Aunt Luo and didn't forget to reach for Luo, Banniang laughed when she saw it, got out of the carriage from under Luo's armpit, and pulled a cousin with one hand, "Cousin Yu, Cousin Yue, how cold it is to ride in the ox cart, you can take the carriage with us, it is spacious and warm inside......

The two sisters glanced at each other and looked at Aunt Luo.

Several other people in the ox cart urged, "There is a carriage that doesn't sit with us, why do you squeeze the ox cart?" Hurry up, it's still waiting to go! ”

"Big sister!" Luo called Aunt Luo.

Aunt Luo nodded at the two daughters, and the two sisters had happy expressions in their eyes, and got off the ox cart and got into the carriage with the pull of Banniang.

"Cousin Yu, Cousin Yue......" Eleven Niang smiled and lifted the curtain for the two, and the two of them smiled sweetly back to Eleven Niang, "Cousin Jin." ”

Not very beautiful faces, but they all have a pair of clear eyes and dimples that show when they laugh.

The sisters greeted Xia Chenghe, Yuan Niang, Er Niang, and San Niang respectively.

Luo took the tiger head from Aunt Luo's arms and handed it to Eleven Niang on the side of the car, the tiger's black eyes stared at Eleven Niang for a while, his eyes narrowed, and he pounced in, and his round body was better than that of Xiao Twelve!

Little Twelve nested in Erniang's arms, blinking at the tiger head in Eleven Niang's arms, Erniang smiled and said to her, "This is the tiger head cousin of the aunt's family, two years younger than you......"

Luo helped Aunt Luo into the car, "Sister, where are Brother Xing'er and brother-in-law?" ”

"They ......" Aunt Luo glanced behind the carriage and smiled, "Well, in the back." ”

Banniang poked her head out of the carriage, saw two figures following not far away, and hurriedly waved her hand, "Auntie!" Cousin Xing! ”

When the two caught up, it was Aunt Luo's husband Zhao Shouwang and eldest son Zhao Rongxing, both of their hair was wet with fog, tightly attached to their foreheads, and their cotton robes were also eroded by moisture, looking damp.

Xia Chenghe smiled and asked the two to get into the car, and Zhao Shouwangqian gave in and sat with his son at the curtain of the carriage.

Xia Chenghe accommodated the two, changed seats with Eleven Niang, and sat with Zhao Shouwang and gossiped.

"Is the family's business okay?"

Zhao Shouwang shook his head, "Walking the streets and alleys to buy and sell, mixed food, not good or bad." ”

Xia Chenghe was stunned, "The shop in your town ......"

"For my second brother." Zhao Shouwang smiled at Xia Chenghe, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, "I thought about going out to run a business after the New Year, and reloading the goods from Jianghuai, although it was harder, but it was better than guarding the three-foot square place at the door." ”

The Zhao family has two sons, Zhao Shouwang is the eldest, and there is also a younger brother in the family, whose name is Zhao Shouzhu. is about the same age as Zhao Rongxing, and he just became a relative the year before last.

The old man of the Zhao family gave his son such a name, hoping that the two sons could help each other, but he actually presided over the division of the brothers himself......

There was no need for Zhao Shouwang to say anything more, Xia Chenghe, who had experienced so many things, understood in an instant, and continued with a smile following Zhao Shouwang's words, "There are many things in Jianghuai that we don't have here, and it is indeed a way to pick up the scarce ones and resell a few pieces." The third brother-in-law happened to be doing business in Jianghuai, and he went to his father-in-law and mother-in-law to see him and asked him to help the eldest brother-in-law think about it. ”

"I also mean this, the third brother-in-law is wandering outside and has a lot of experience," Zhao Shou......wang also smiled, and talked to Xia Chenghe about the results of his visit to the entire Qingshui Town, what was the most scarce, and what was the second shortage......

Here, Luo and Aunt Luo whispered, "Sister, what's the matter?" Why did you come by bullock cart today? also let my brother-in-law walk with Brother Xing'er......"

"Alas, I can't say anything about this......" Aunt Luo sighed first, her face was not good-looking, Luo frowned, "What's wrong?" ”

Aunt Luo knew that she couldn't resist her sister, so she said that the second room of the Zhao family was pregnant with a child, but she could focus on practicing her mother-in-law, "My father-in-law felt sorry for my mother-in-law, and said a few words to the second uncle, and the second uncle turned around and said the second room, and the second room went to the house to reveal the child!" The mother-in-law felt sorry for her unborn grandson and counted her father-in-law behind. Alas......"

Roche was dumbfounded, "This, how can this ......?"

She has only seen her mother-in-law as a daughter-in-law, and her daughter-in-law is working against her mother-in-law...... It's the first time she's seen her so close!

"Who's to say it isn't! When I was confined, she had just been on for three months, and all the eggs and brown sugar sent by my mother were looted by her, and she scolded Huai in the yard all day long, saying that her mother-in-law was eccentric; Later, she had a boy, and during confinement, my mother-in-law and I served her, and we didn't stop her from complaining to her mother's family that my mother-in-law and I abused her. At the end of the words, Aunt Luo was already angry, and she couldn't do it.

can make the mild-tempered Aunt Luo angry like this, the second-room daughter-in-law of the Zhao family is really enough!

Luo has lived with people like Huang and Jiang for more than ten years, and he knows best how aggrieved it is to have such a concubine in the family, and he can't help but feel sorry for his eldest sister.

"Big Sister ......"

Aunt Luo eased her nerves and patted Luo's hand, "Eldest sister is fine." It's just that I pity my mother-in-law, who is being abused like this by digging out her heart and lungs...... After she finished the confinement, her mother-in-law was sick, and the doctor said that the heart and liver were stagnant, and she should be good at life and recuperation, and she could not be angry, and her mother-in-law treated people kindly, and the relationship between our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been friendly, and this disease is only after entering the second room...... My father-in-law was angry and divided the house for us. The house belongs to the big house, the shop belongs to the second room, the second old man lives with us, and the second room moves to the shop...... It's good to separate, they live theirs, we live ours, although there is no income from the shop, but the house and Ning are better than anything! ”

Aunt Luo let out a long sigh of relief and laughed softly.

Roche nodded, "This one is still well divided!" If you don't have a shop, start a small business and take your time! ”

"Your brother-in-law and I think the same way."

The two cousins have a gentle personality, like Aunt Luo, although they haven't seen each other for a long time, the cousins still quickly talked together, to Wukeshuluo

When he arrived at Wukeshu Luo's house, he was already holding hands with affection.

Aunt Luo San, wearing a peacock blue rabbit fur ring-neck cloak, holding a big sleeve in her arms, stood at the door and jumped around, the beads on her head made a tinkling sound, and when she saw the carriage stop, she frowned suspiciously.

When he saw the familiar face revealed by the carriage, he immediately smiled, threw his sleeve to the mother-in-law on the side, and went up to drag the tiger head that was drilling in the arms of Eleven Niang, "Tiger head, tiger head, give the third aunt a kiss!" ”

The mouth pouted and leaned over and kissed the tiger's fleshy face, and the tiger head was stunned and licked his face and sliva on Aunt Luo's face, Aunt Luo laughed happily and held it in her arms and didn't let go.

Mo Shouchen shook his head helplessly, and greeted Zhao Shouwang and Xia Chenghe, "Eldest brother-in-law, second brother-in-law." ”

"Third brother-in-law."

The three men looked at each other and smiled, and walked back and forth into the courtyard.

Luo's eldest aunt Xu and second aunt Mo smiled and picked up the two aunts and grandmothers to get off the carriage, one with Luo's hand, and the other with Aunt Luo's, and said with a smile, "My mother just urged the third time, and the two aunts and grandmothers arrived, go inside, it's cold outside." ”

Luo and Aunt Luo also laughed, "Sister-in-law, second brother and sister." ”

Little cousin Luo Zhixiang beckoned to Eleven Niang excitedly, "Eleven Niang, here and here!" ”

Seeing Zhao Rouyue and Zhao Rouyu, she was even more excited, and came from between Mo and Aunt Luo, "Cousin Yue, Cousin Rou, you are here too!" ”

"Cousin Xiang......" The two smiled softly.

Luo Zhixiang was about to say something, but when he looked up, he saw Yuan Niang who was helped out of the carriage by Eleven Niang, her eyes widened, and she pounced on her with a whimper, "Cousin Yu!" ”

Eleven Niang was startled, her eyes were quick, and she grabbed Luo Zhixiang's back collar clothes, Luo Zhixiang stretched out her hand and didn't hug the person, only to realize that she was carried into the air, and kicked a few times in the air in a huff, glaring at Eleven Niang, "Why don't you learn well, you can bully people if you know how to do some kung fu!" Don't let me go yet! ”

Banniang came over and looked at Luo Zhixiang in a circle, "Eleven Niang, this is good, you go back and teach me this!" ”

Luo Zhixiang stared at Eleven Niang, Eleven Niang laughed dryly, this really can't blame her, Luo Zhixiang ran so fast, how could the eldest sister withstand her enthusiasm.

Eleven Niang let go of her hand and pulled Yuan Niang to hide behind her second aunt, Luo Zhixiang stomped her feet and crossed her waist, "You play Laipi and use my mother as a shield!" ”

Mo glared, "How can this kid talk?" Don't take your cousin or cousin into the house to bake the fire. ”

Luo Zhixiang glared at Eleven Niang angrily, "You, wait for me." ”
