On August 15, the Yang family sent a gift to the door, according to the convention is to let the fiancé meet, Luo arranged for Erniang to serve tea, and the sisters looked at Erniang's face flushed with shame, holding a tea tray to deliver tea, and laughing in the house.

The Yang family is no longer the cute appearance of the last blind date, acting neatly, when he saw Erniang, his eyes were full of warmth, and he smiled and greeted Erniang, "Erniang is good." ”

"Brother Yang is good." Erniang blushed, lightly blessed herself, and then withdrew.

Xia Chenghe took over with a smile and chatted with the descendants of the Yang family about the harvest, and the eyes of the descendants of the Yang family chased Erniang to disappear before they retracted, and talked to Xia Chenghe seriously.

Erniang returned to the room, and there was another burst of laughter in the house, "Second sister, is my brother-in-law good-looking?" Eleven Niang was full of smiles, and joked on the pole, and Erniang stomped her feet angrily, "Ignore you......"

"Ah, I forgot my sister when I saw it, I don't want to kiss my sister if I have a brother-in-law!" Banniang's words were not shocking, because of her words, the room was quiet, and laughter broke out in an instant.

Erniang even had a red neck, "How can I have it?" You ......"

Turning his head to go out, Luo just pushed the door in, and Erniang complained, "Mother, look at their ......"

"Come on, it's time to arrange lunch, and give the two dishes you usually cook the most on weekdays to your future uncle to taste." Roche didn't care about listening to her daughters' jokes, and her future aunt came to the door for the first time, so she had to arrange it better.

The Yang family knows that her daughter has a hand in embroidery, so today she will let her future son-in-law taste her daughter's handiwork, although her second mother's cooking skills are not as good as Eleven Niang, and the girls in these neighborhoods in the east of the city are also top-notch.

There was another burst of laughter in the house, and Erniang glared at the sisters who were staggering on the kang with a few sneering eyes, their faces were so red that they could drip blood, and they stomped their feet and ran out. Roche glanced at his daughters disapprovingly, but somehow laughed along, "You guys, you can't run away from one or two......"

The sisters were stunned for a moment before they reacted, and one by two looked at each other and laughed.

Roche shook his head with a smile and walked out.

At the dinner table, I don't know if it's providence or what, the Yang family is particularly enthusiastic about the stuffed tofu and squirrel mandarin fish made by Erniang, and praises the father-in-law's master for really living up to his reputation, Xia Chenghe smiled very proudly, but he didn't break that his two favorite dishes were made by his daughter.

Chef Fan laughed when he found out, "The second girl has worked hard for these two dishes. A group of people looked at Erniang ambiguously, and the flush on Erniang's face did not disappear all day, and the courtyard was also very lively.

Of course, if someone doesn't say anything cool......

"My mouth is full of thorns, and I haven't said a word, what's delicious, phew, phew......" Xia Chengle took a needle to prick the bubbles in his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood, "I know that your fourth uncle can't eat fish bones and still makes fish, are you sincere?!" ”

Banniang rolled her eyes, "Fourth uncle, whose fish bones can be eaten?" You accidentally blamed the second sister for making fish? At the dinner table, I only saw him grabbing food like a pig, and he was not ashamed.

"Fourth uncle, when did the milk make fish for you?" Eleven Niang asked curiously, looking up at Xia Chenghe, "Dad, has your milk ever bought fish to eat?" ”

Xia Chenghe shook his head, since he remembered, he didn't seem to have seen his mother ever make a fish, and the fish every year during the New Year disappeared in the end, and he never ate it.

Xia Chengle opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood to the ground, "Who said no, it's because your father doesn't like your milk, your milk hasn't given him food, I've eaten a lot, it's all your milk that picks the thorns, soft and fragrant, and I drool when I think about it, which is like Erniang made this, phew...... It's all small thorns. ”

Banniang frowned, looking at the blood and saliva on the ground disgustingly, "Fourth uncle, you vomit all over the house, it's so disgusting." ”

"Yo, the chicken manure all over the yard didn't disgust you, but a few mouthfuls of saliva disgusted you?" Xia Chengle pouted, "I really have money to fill everyone's miss." Third brother, you don't care about ......."

Luo's face immediately pale, and he stood up, "Her father, I seem to have forgotten something, you can help me find it." What should you do, don't hinder your fourth uncle from picking thorns. ”

The sisters glanced at each other and got up and left the house.

Master Fan smiled, "I'll also go to see my stewed soup, and the guest said that he would come over for dinner......

But in the blink of an eye, Xia Chengle was the only one left in the hall, he smashed it and smashed his mouth, and spit out a mouthful of blood, "What the hell?" I didn't say anything wrong. What a pretentious ......"

Roche was just impatient to look at his appearance of not being able to eat grapes and saying that grapes were sour, how their family was all saved up by themselves one copper plate after another, and they cared about his, chewing around like a long-tongued woman.

"Yu Niang, the fourth brother is like that, don't worry about him." Xia Chenghe persuaded Luo.

Luo glanced at Xia Chenghe, "Do you think I'm as cautious as those people in the old mansion?" "Talking to him? She was already!

"I really have something to do with you." Luo said, "Seeing that August is already in the middle of August, if you don't hurry up to buy land, you will miss this year's rice planting." I looked for let's go to Shilipu and pay attention first, buy it as soon as there is a good one, and plant some grain in time for this season, but if you can't catch up...... When the time comes, scattering some vegetable seeds will also reduce the loss. ”

Xia Chenghe smiled and nodded, "I have been to Yahang with Eleven Niang for the past two days, and they have a few suitable places on hand, but there is only one close to Shilipu, there is a small yard, saying that the field is medium and upper-grade, a total of sixty acres, one acre is calculated according to five two five, twenty acres more than we expected, Eleven Niang means let's go and see together, and then decide whether to do it?" ”

"One acre is five taels and five, sixty acres and a small yard...... "Luo Zhi looked at Xia Chenghe a little blankly, "But how much silver can you buy?" ”

Xia Chenghe smiled, "Sixty acres of land are a total of three hundred and thirty taels, and the small courtyard is said to be half sold and half given, as long as thirty taels." ”

Roche frowned, "Want so much silver?" ”

How much silver? ”

"The tooth man of the tooth shop said that he would talk about the price when we saw it, and he gave a package ticket and said that it was definitely worth the money!" If it weren't for the full moon of the youngest son of the Luo family and the arrival of his son-in-law in the past few days, they would have gone to see it early in the morning.

Roche nodded, "Yes, then let's go for a trip tomorrow, and I'll be relieved to give this matter first." ”

"Well, Cheng, then I'll go to Yaxing and tell the Ya man, let's go over early tomorrow morning?"

"Okay."

The next day, a group of seven people hired a carriage and went with the tooth people to a place that was only a tea pot away from ten miles.

Banniang muttered, "It's all grass, no one takes care of it, I really have to waste a lot of effort to get ...... it."

"Whoever doesn't have some grass in the field, find a few long-term workers and put another layer of manure on it, so as to ensure that this land is as strong and productive as those fine fields." The tooth man hurriedly stepped forward to speak, and smiled and invited a few people into the courtyard.

Looking at the appearance of the yard, it has been a long time, the red paint of the gate is peeling off, and the wild grass sticks out of the gap in the blue brick paved road in the courtyard, and many grasses have grass seeds and roll to the ground.

The small courtyard only enters, the main house is three, the middle is the living room, the east and west two rooms are a bedroom, one is a study, the left side is two wings, the right side is a kitchen and a storage room, the middle of the big tree is built up with a stone, walked into a well, the well water is covered by a broken pot cover, open it to see, although the surface of the well water is covered with floating dust, remove the floating dust, the well water is clear and clean, it seems that it was used to cook before.

"Daddy and Niang sleep in the east room, the second sister and the third sister sleep in the south room, I sleep in the north room with Eleven Niang and Xiao Twelve, and the west house is reserved for our family as a study, and Dad and Eleven Niang can go to the ...... when they settle accounts" Banniang opened her eyes and counted with her fingers.

Eleven Niang smiled, "Eighth sister, this is for the second sister to make a dowry field, if you like it, when you say kiss, I will pick a similar one for you with my father and mother...... Hmm. ”

Banniang covered Eleven Niang's mouth and threatened in her ear, "If you talk nonsense again, be careful that I cut your tongue......"

Erniang and Sanniang pursed their lips and smiled, and Xiao Twelve grinned and clapped his hands.

Luo and Xia Chenghe looked at each other and smiled, and they were also very satisfied with this place. Luo quietly dragged Xia Chenghe over, "Is there any less price for this?" Our family bought these lands, but there is not much silver left, if we marry the second mother and the third mother in a row, I am afraid that the dowry silver will not be able to come out. ”

They have only been running this shop for three or four months, and they have earned more than 100 taels after removing the cost, counting the 200 taels that were returned by Xia Cheng'an in the second room before selling sausage recipes, plus the food money that Su Shaonan came to consume every day during that time, a total of 480 taels are counted, and there are 360 taels of this Zhuangzi and the field together, so if you calculate it, the rest will be 120 taels, and then take 100 taels to Erniang to press the bottom of the box, and the family will only have 20 taels!

After such a calculation, both husband and wife wilted, "Her father, what, what to do?" To buy or not to buy? Do you want to negotiate the price with the Suya people? ”

"Well, I'll say it." Xia Chenghe went and called the tooth man over, "Su Ya people, do you think there is any negotiation in terms of price?" ”

"Master Xia and Mrs. Xia have decided to want this Zhuangzi?" Seeing the hesitation on the faces of the husband and wife, Su Yaren smiled, "I can't hide it from the two of you, the original owner of this Zhuangzi mortgaged the land of this manor to the gambling house because of his gambling habits, and he wanted to turn over the book but didn't want to lose all the family property." The gambling house then sold the Zhuangzi to us......"

The more the couple listened, the more wrong they became, there was only one gambling house in Qingshui Town, named Tianle, with Qian Liu, the shopkeeper outside, and Su Shaonan, the shopkeeper behind.

"It can't be such a coincidence, this is the Zhuangzi that Young Master Su said last time?" Luo muttered, looking at Xia Chenghe.

Su Yaren heard it at the tip of his ear and was stunned, "Do you know Young Master Su?" ”

The couple suddenly realized a problem, this tooth man's surname is Su.

Could it be......

"Huh? This Zhuangzi is the last time Young Master Su said he was going to resell it to us? Banniang's eyes widened, looking at Luo and Xia Chenghe.

Xia Chenghe nodded.

Luo sighed, "It is said that the matter between Yuan Niang and Shi Niang has nothing to do with Young Master Su, but when I think of Shi Niang almost dying in the gambling house, Yuan Niang and we are on our separate sides, suffering and suffering in other people's homes, I ...... in my heart I can't get over this. ”

"Niang......" Erniang and Sanniang came up, and when they thought of the tragic situation at that time, the eyes of the mother and daughter were slightly red. The two sisters glanced at each other and nodded secretly, Erniang raised her head and said, "Mother, we don't buy this Zhuangzi, the Yang family doesn't fancy me for this dowry field, my daughter has a hand in embroidery, Brother Yang follows Father Yang to learn the craft, there are more than a dozen acres of land at home, and life will be better day by day!" My daughter doesn't want this dowry field......"

Sanniang nodded again and again on the side, and Luo shook his head, "Silly boy, in the past, our family had no money and couldn't buy it for you, but now that we have money, why can't we buy it?" The dowry field determines your status in your in-laws' family, and you don't have to worry about doing things with money in hand. This land must be bought, but this piece ......."

Luo looked at Xia Chenghe, "Her father, why don't we change our family and ask?" ”

"Mother, except for the Su family, the tooth shop in this town is opened by the Song family, why don't I ask Song Yang tomorrow?" When Shi Niang came back, she deliberately inquired with the neighborhood, only to know that there were only the Su family and the Song family in Qingshui Town.

It's not that there are no smaller tooth rows, but the profit is too much, and they are not as cost-effective as the big tooth rows.

Su Yaren didn't take the family's abnormality to heart, they just thought that they were not satisfied with that place, and thought about waiting for Xia Chenghe to recommend others to him, but they didn't know that the Xia family had given up their plan to buy land with them and went to the competing Song family.

Eleven Niang went to Song's house and didn't see Song Yang, and the porter told her, "My young lady and Mrs. went back to their hometown a few days ago to worship their ancestors, and they won't return until a few days." ”

Eleven Niang said goodbye and went straight to the Song family's tooth shop and asked the fields near Shilipu

There are two Zhuangzi in the fields near the shop, but there are only no Zhuangzi in the fields, one has eight acres of land and the other has sixteen acres, all because the family has bought real estate in other places and wants to sell this place.

"If the young lady's family is interested, you can find a small time to take you over to see, the fields of these two families have been raised a little bit and have not been wasted, but they are better than the ordinary high-quality fields, and the asking price is only six taels ......."

Eleven Niang nodded, thinking that it would be good if these two pieces of land were next to each other, so she listened to the tooth man continue, "It is also easy for the young lady to think of a small Zhuangzi at home, these two pieces of land are right next to each other, and they will be about twenty acres when they are bought together, which happens to be a small manor." ”

Eleven Niang's eyes lit up, "Really? ”

The tooth man saw that she was interested, and she was used to seeing the expressions of all kinds of people, so she naturally saw at a glance that she was really buying something, and the smile on her face was a little more than just now, "If Miss doesn't believe it, we can make an appointment to take a look together, we have a carriage in the tooth shop, when Miss is free, we can go to the door to pick up the car and send it." ”

Eleven Niang made an appointment with the tooth man to pick him up early the next morning, said goodbye and went out, and turned around to see Xue Ye when she was about to get home.

When Song Yan and Mei An got out of the car, they saw the back of Eleven Niang leaving, and Mei An said strangely, "What is Miss Xia doing in our tooth shop?" ”

Song Yan glanced at him, got out of the car and entered the tooth shop, and asked the tooth man who received Shi Niang, and the tooth person told Shi Niang's intention in detail, Mei An was still strange, "Why didn't she look for the eldest lady and come to our tooth shop by herself......"

"Song Yang went back with his father and mother to worship his ancestors." Song Yan glanced at him and instructed the tooth man, "If they bargain tomorrow, they will go according to their price, and the contract silver and profit will be counted." If she asked, she said I meant it. ”

The tooth man was busy and retreated.

Song Yan went up to the second floor, entered the room and followed Mei Andao, "How is the aftermath of Yunzhou handled?" ”

"There's no problem with Governor Cao's side, but his peak seems to have some words, I went to visit Governor Cao a few times, but they were all hung in the living room, and I didn't see anyone." Mei An found a place to sit down and continued, "Later, I heard that the second aunt of the Cao Governor's Mansion had some relationship with the step-room lady of the Cao Governor's Mansion, so the Cao Governor's Mansion took the second aunt to Shangfeng to visit his step-room, and sent 30,000 taels in, so the matter was settled. ”

"Well, you pay more attention, you must not come out again in the later stage." Song Yan's eyebrows were cold, a touch of self-deprecation flashed under his eyes, and he shook his head, "Send instructions to the stores in various places, see Wei's mother and son...... Expel! ”

Mei An lowered her head, her eyes turned twice, and she responded, "Yes." ”

He should have sued them a long time ago, otherwise there would have been such a big mistake, and he would have spent an extra 30,000 taels of silver! When I think about it, I want to bite the mother and son to death.

However, can he add a few more words to this letter, such as if he dares to threaten them, he can beat a few boards and then throw them out?

Mei An raised an eyebrow, and the corners of her mouth curled into an evil smile.

Song Yan poured a cup of tea, turned around and drank two sips and got up, "Go back to the plum garden, you go to Zhuxuan and ask him to bring the white jade paste." ”

"Young master, aren't you here to listen to the account?"

"Don't listen to it, when you have time to listen to it yourself." Song Yan opened the door and went out, got off the carriage upstairs, Mei An chased him out of Yaxing, and casually pulled a small guy and told him to go to Song Mansion to find Zhuxuan to go to the plum garden, and jumped into the carriage as a coachman, and asked Song Yan on the way, "What is the young master doing in such a hurry to go to the plum garden?" ”

Song Yan looked at the light coming through the swaying curtains, and was silent for a while before answering Mei An, "Su Shaonan has always said that the effect of white jade paste is not the best, and I think of an idea that I don't know if it can be used or not. ”

"When did Young Master Su say that our things are good?" Mei An muttered for a while, turned back to Song Yan and said, "Young master, what kind of medical skills are Zhu Xuan!" Mei An shook her head disapprovingly, "I'll invite the doctor from our hospital later, right?" ”

Song Yan paused and said, "It's okay." ”

Early in the morning of the second day, the carriage sent by the Song family to pick up people arrived, and the family went to the place where the tooth man said with breakfast, and the manor said by the Su family was separated by a road, not far from the diagonal opposite.

Two pieces of land together twenty-four acres, and then build a small manor, the price is just within their affordability, it is indeed suitable to be a dowry garden, Luo and Xia Chenghe looked at each other and nodded, and went back to finalize the two pieces of land to buy together, and also under the recommendation of the tooth people, they found a few long-term workers who were good at planting crops, signed a deed for a season of rice, and handed over these fields to them to take care of.

Looking for a long worker naturally to live in the main house, eleven Niang and Xia Chenghe and Zhang Luo first built a simple house for them to live in, fortunately it is summer, the night is not cold, a few long workers first in the open air will be a few nights, and at the end of the month when the house is built and moved in, more than 20 acres of land have been prepared, irrigated, planted with rice.

Su Shaonan knew that when Eleven Niang went to their tooth shop to see the manor, it was also the end of August, and he kicked the tooth man who received Eleven Niang to the ground with an angry kick, "Rice bucket, what did you do earlier?" ”

The tooth man held his stomach on the ground crying and didn't dare to get up, how did he know that looking at an ordinary family, he actually had a friendship with the young master of the Song family and the young master of his family?! If he knew, he would have come to report it sooner!

Su Shaonan almost grinded a hole in the floor of the room with a dark face, picked up the inkstone on the table and smashed it at the bun, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

"......" bun is clear and fast, and quickly dodges away. Let him say what? A few days earlier, he reminded the master to come back quickly, there is still something at home, but what did the master say? "What's so important to see Song Yan's jokes?"

Outcome......

Su Shaonan slumped in the chair and pulled his head, "It's over, Xia Shiyi must have flattened me." ”

Baozi blinked his eyes, and he couldn't look flat, because after the incident of Qian Liu, it is estimated that the Xia family's third room must be awkward, who made the eleventh girl almost die in the gambling house! Who let the eldest sister of the gambling house go to the capital.

Speaking of capital......

Baozi pondered it for a while, stepped forward and said cautiously,

Xinyi said, "Master, didn't you send someone to send a letter to the capital to help inquire about the eldest girl of the Xia family?" It's almost time for news. ”

Su Shaonan looked at him or two, and sat up from the chair, "Yes, why didn't I think of this." Someone ...... coming."

After buying the field, Luo's heart was half steady, and then he took his daughter to pick up fabric patterns everywhere, rushed his daughter to embroider his wedding dress, and transferred the carpentry shop in the whole town with Xia Chenghe, to make a complete set of cage cabinets for Erniang, the couple still felt that it was not enough, "It's a pity that it's too late to make a stepping bed for my daughter." ”

Erniang cried in Luo's arms heartily, "Mother, enough, enough, it's too much...... "She never thought that there were so many things, she never thought that she could find such a good family, her father and mother have done too much for her.

Luo's eyes turned red instantly, and while patting his daughter's back, he cried and laughed, "Silly girl, where is enough?" Daddy can't wait to give you sisters the best things. ”

Xia Chenghe smiled sourly on the side, feeling that his daughter was still a ball of flesh in front of him in the blink of an eye, and after the blink of an eye, he was already about to get married, and time passed really fast......

Banniang lay on Eleven Niang's shoulder with red eyes, "Eleven Niang, I don't want to marry, I don't want to leave my father, I feel uncomfortable ......"

Eleven Niang hugged Banniang, her soft body with a young and immature body that had not yet grown, she ...... I was reluctant to leave.

The closest is not the father and sister, and the warmest is the arms of relatives......

It would be great if we could stay together like this, don't grow up, don't separate, how nice.

Xiao Twelve smiled and circled around the two of them, one sat on the ground unsteadily holding Eleven Niang's hakama skirt, Eleven Niang was busy letting go of Eight Niang to help Little Twelve, Little Twelve looked up and smiled, and her clear eyes reflected a smiling face of Eleven Niang, Eleven Niang was stunned, and reached out to point Xiao Twelve's forehead, "Little fool ......"

"Big fool...... "Little Twelve reached out and touched Eleven Niang's forehead......

A room full of people looked at the two of them and smiled, full of warm atmosphere.

In the courtyard, Xia Chengle glanced at the hall, patted the place on his chest, and sneered, "The big fool and the little fool's family are all fools, and they use the master as a coolie, and the master will stop doing it." ”

After speaking, he patted his chest carefully, laughed twice, went into the kitchen and picked a basket of big fish and meat, covered the lid and carried it out.

When he arrived in the hall, he was stopped by Zhou who was checking accounts at the counter, and he coaxed angrily, "Sue my third brother, this work is too tiring, I won't do it!" These things should be his filial piety to his father, and I will bring them home for him by the way. ”

Zhou frowned, stretched out his hand to stop, he laughed scoundrelly, "Yo, I still want to throw myself into my arms......"

He was shameless, and the Zhou family still had to be embarrassed, so he had no choice but to watch him leave, and turned around to report to Shi Niang and Xia Chenghe and his wife, both of them frowned, Xia Chenghe hated iron and steel, and Luo Shi looked angry and disgusted, "It's good to go, the province will stay and harm Master Fan." ”

"It's shameless to steal things when you're gone!" Banniang pounded the table angrily.

Eleven Niang and Master Fan exchanged a look, Master Fan nodded at her gently, Eleven Niang smiled, the mine was buried, just waiting for her to pull the line.

A few days later, the uncle and aunt of the Li family came to the store to find Luo, and heard Luo said that he had bought a dowry field for Erniang and hired a long-term worker to take care of it, and he was very happy for her, "I said that your good days will come soon, no, it will come...... When is it set? ”

Luo smiled, "It's so fast, Erniang will be at the end of the month, how can I stay for another year and marry next year." ”

"Haha, okay, next year, sixteen, after two years of small two, and then have children, it's just right." The Li family's aunt smiled more happily than Luo's, the two talked for a while, and the Li family's aunt pulled Luo's and whispered, "I'm here to kiss you, you listen to it, if you think it's appropriate, I'll bring the child over to show you, if you think it's not appropriate, just when I didn't mention it today, okay?" ”

Luo was stunned for a moment, looked at the Li family's aunt's face, and smiled, "What's the matter?" Look at what you say......"

"I'm serious." The aunt of the Li family straightened her face, sighed and said, "I haven't mentioned it to you before, my mother's family also has an elder brother, who was given to a friend by my father twenty years ago, and the friend took my brother out of Qingshui Town, although there was still contact later, but my brother changed someone else's surname, and my father and mother only regarded this brother as missing, so I never mentioned it to outsiders." At the end of the year, my brother sent a letter back, saying that he wanted to help his son book a family business in Qingshui Town, and it didn't matter what the conditions of the family were, but the only one was to have a good temperament...... I've seen the child, he is quite handsome, he speaks politely, I don't know why I ordered three family affairs, but they all died without a problem......"

Luo Shi frowned, and immediately had a little resistance, and the Li family's aunt smiled bitterly, "They don't know where to find out that Erniang and Sanniang are of the right age, so they asked me to beg for ...... To tell you the truth, the child is indeed a good one, but I really dare not say that it is not good, but this family affair is a little more troublesome......"

------Off topic------

Xiaoxiang swallows my words in the background, spit it out for me!
