Xia Chengping angrily returned to the rented yard, and was running into the owner who came out of their house, and when he saw him coming back, he greeted him like a flower with a smile, "Xia Xiucai, which one of these doesn't make you angry?" ”

Xia Chengping's heart sank, and a kind smile appeared on his face, "But it's not a matter to refute people's opinions." You're ......"

"Xia Xiucai is erudite, those people must be jealous of your disrespectful remarks after the New Year's exam, Xia Xiucai doesn't have to take it to heart." The landlord laughed, and then made a look of embarrassment, "Look, you haven't paid the rent for two months, did you pay it together this month?" We agreed last month, you can't put it off any longer......"

Sure enough, it's a matter of rent!

Xia Chengping smiled, "That's natural, the owner waits, I'll go get it." ”

The homeowner half-bent over and got out of the way, "You please, you please." ”

Seeing Xia Chengping entering, he couldn't help but open his mouth and spit on the ground, what kind of uncle is the poor ghost pretending to be! If it weren't for the fact that he had passed the New Year's test, and seeing that he was going to become a real talent, he would have driven them away long ago!

Xia Chengping walked into the house and saw Zhao who was pouting and cleaning up his things, and he was irritable, and he was a girl who had more than enough success and more than failure!

Zhao didn't look up, and complained while packing up his things, "The surname Liang came to ask for rent again, so I said to keep the two taels of silver for him, you see, now we only have a few hundred big money in our hands, what are we going to do?!" ”

"Didn't Shi Niang say a few days ago that she had saved a few taels of silver? You go to her and get it, and you pay the rent first. Xia Chengping said impatiently, he has to arrange such a trivial matter, what is the use of asking her?!

Zhao raised his head suddenly, with a surprised expression, "Master, that's the dowry silver that our daughter saved by herself, where can I ask for it?!" ”

"When she gets married, can we shorten her dowry money?" Xia Chengping glared at Zhao, "Or do you want to be drowned by the spittle stars in this courtyard?!" ”

"But ......" Zhao was unwilling, and did not move.

"Xia Xiucai, but it's inconvenient to have at hand?" The owner of the house said loudly outside, and the people in the courtyard probably heard it.

Xia Chengping's face was ugly, but his voice didn't show anything, "Wait a minute, right away." ”

After speaking, he glared at Zhao and shouted in a low voice, "Don't go yet?" ”

Zhao hurriedly got down from the kang and entered the west room.

Shi Niang was holding a palm-sized box and stroking, and Shiro was sullenly unhappy on the side.

When Shi Niang saw Zhao come in, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she pulled up an arc, "Mother, this is four taels of silver, you can take it." "Hold the box in your hand to Zhao.

"Oh, good girl." Zhao took it, and his heart was quite uncomfortable, the old lady was holding a lot of silver, but it was so difficult for them to live in a big house, and even the dowry silver that the girl herself had to save had to be taken out to save the emergency......

There are also those three rooms, guarding a shop but not even willing to help with a few tables of banquets!

Counting the lively second room, the fourth room that wants to take advantage of it everywhere, and the in-laws who want to be an official old man and an official old lady, it's really ...... That's enough!

Zhao stroked his daughter's head distressedly, "Good girl, when your father is promoted and becomes an official, your father and mother will accompany you ten times and a hundred times the dowry silver!" ”

Shi Niang didn't say anything, she lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking.

When the Zhao family went out, Xia Chengping took two taels of silver to the homeowner, and naturally got a good compliment, "Xia Xiucai is not a person who is a showman, and what he says is counting!" You can pay whatever you want in the future, I'm not afraid that you will be repaid......"

Xia Chengping listened to it strangely, said a few perfunctory words, and turned back to the house.

The owner of the house snorted and took the money back to his house.

Jiuli Pavilion wants to go back, and the relatives have said that they will naturally invite, but the banquet that originally wanted to let the three rooms be purchased is now gone, Xia Chengping looked at the only two taels of silver left, and took out one or two to the Zhao family, "You go to the West Market with your mother-in-law to buy some things, the wine and meat look at the match, you don't need to buy green vegetables and pickles at home, and then use the remaining silver to hire an ox cart, and we will exchange money at the town gate." ”

"Master, did the three rooms eat the gall of the ambitious leopard?" Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, Xia Chengping also suffered a defeat, otherwise she would not have been allowed to buy wine and meat again.

Xia Chengping's face was gloomy, "Everything is up to him in the third room, my eldest brother might as well let him be!" If you want to go, you can go, what are you talking about? Hurry up, you have to find a cook when you rush back, and you have to be busy with everything at home! ”

"Well, I'll go." Although the Zhao family is angry that the three rooms are not authentic, Xia Chengping's New Year's test to entertain guests at home is a big event, and it is a major event to announce that their big house is going to be born, and it must not be ambiguous.

The Zhao family regretted a little, he knew that he would not invite so many mothers' family, the two uncles have not been close since they were children, and the two families have come over, and they don't know if the wine and meat of the two silver are enough.

Zhao got up, put on a rich silk dress bought for one or two silvers that he wore outside on weekdays, went out and called out to his mother-in-law who was busy in the stove room, and went out.

Xia Chengping sat down in his room with a headache, opened a book, but couldn't read half a word, and his mind was full of the appearance of the third child condescending to accuse him.

How dare he?

How dare you?!

Xia Chengping angrily slammed the book on the table and walked around the room.

In the west, Shi Niang lowered her head and wiped her tears.

Shiro handed a handkerchief beside him and comforted Shi Niang, "Sister, don't worry, my brother will go to work in a few days, and I will definitely help my sister earn back the dowry money." ”

Shi Niang shook her head, "Fourth brother, do you say that my father can be lifted?" ”

Shiro was stunned for a moment, and said unsurely, "Dad said that he should be able to, right?" ”

"Dad has been taking the exam for so many years before passing the New Year's exam, I heard Wei Xiucai's lady who came a few days ago say that there are also people who have passed the New Year's exam, but they have not passed the scientific exam, and the result is still a child."

Shiro sighed, sat on the edge of the kang, and was silent.

After a while, he raised his head, patted his chest as if reassuring, and said, "Don't be afraid, even if your father can't win the lift, my mother promised my sister's dowry and my brother will definitely help you earn it!" ”

Shi Niang was stunned and smiled, "The fourth brother doesn't like to read."

12.16 Xiaoxiang fans carnival, about the gods, grab the gifts!

laughed, "The fourth brother doesn't like to study, how many years does it take to earn money by brute force to save up to forty taels?" Maybe the fourth brother won't earn it, and I'll get married......"

"Which will? Brother went to find ......"

Shiro only thought that he and Shi Niang are twins, he is twelve this year, and Shi Niang is too, at most four years, Shi Niang will discuss marriage, earn forty taels in four years, and earn at least ten taels a year, where can he find such a high-paying job?!

Shiro looked at his sister's smile in confusion, remembering that the four taels of silver were she began to save since she learned to embroider a handkerchief at the age of five and sold the first handkerchief......

Zhao took his mother-in-law to the West Market to buy things, and bargained with others.

At the end of Shen Shi, someone came to Old Man Xia and Old Lady Qiao a little, and asked Xia Chenghe and Luo to go back to Jiuli Pavilion immediately, and the big house wanted to treat them, and let them go back to help Zhang Luo.

Banniang was angry, "You know how to call us!" ”

Luo glanced at his daughter, "What nonsense, although the family is separated, but there is something wrong with the old house, we should really help." Her father, the banquet that the big house wants......"

Xia Chenghe shook his head, he had seen the recipe that his sister-in-law didn't take out, and the dishes on it were really cooked, and he couldn't handle it for ten taels of silver. Besides, there are two if there is one, and it will never end when you are entangled by the people of the old house.

Xia Chenghe glanced at Xia Chengle, who was pulling with Master Fan outside, and said, "It's right for us to go back and help, and the rest...... Forget it. ”

He didn't have to ask the Zhou family to know how much Xia Chengle and his wife had paid for eating and packing, they were treating his family as their own, Xia Chenghe smiled bitterly.

Zhou finally agreed to the grinding of Eleven Niang a few days ago, and took over the daily management of the Xia family's small store, and the flow account was also recorded in detail.

Eleven Niang completely let go, she has more important things to do!

Leaving Erniang, Sanniang and Xiao Twelve at home, Xia Chenghe and Luo took Banniang and Eleventh Niang back to Jiuli Pavilion.

When I arrived home, there were several daughters-in-law in the village around the yard, led by the long-tongued woman who usually likes to talk about the east and west, and the daughter-in-law who had been rectified by the eleventh mother and the eighth mother.

As soon as he saw the four of them entering the door, he smiled and stabbed his daughter-in-law beside him, "Look, who is coming back?" Boss Xia......"

Luo frowned, glanced at the daughter-in-law, and said nothing.

Banniang muttered, "Everyone goes home to get it, phew." ”

The daughter-in-law snorted, and was about to say something, but was pulled by the daughter-in-law beside her, "Say a few words, so as not to be difficult to talk in the future." ”

The daughter-in-law sneered, "What do I have to use to their family, people who hide silver behind their backs and don't honor their fathers and mothers, don't they make so many things out just to roll up the silver and divide the family, tsk......"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Banniang clenched her fists and looked at the woman, Eleven Niang stopped Banniang and glanced at the daughter-in-law with a smile, "What does Eighth Sister care about knowing that she is talking nonsense?" The dog bites us, can we still deal with a dog? ”

"Who do you say is the dog?" The daughter-in-law was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that Eleven Niang was scolding her in the low laughter around her.

Banniang pursed her lips and glared at her, "Who asked who it was!" ”

The daughter-in-law raised her hand and wanted to hit Banniang, but was dragged aside by Eleven Niang, her eyes were cold, and she said with a smile on her face, "Haven't you seen that scary ghost recently?" ”

The daughter-in-law's hand that was about to fall stiffened, and the hairs on her body were about to stand up, and that month, the hanging ghosts that appeared from time to time were the nightmare of her life! Nightmare!

What does this girl mean?

Eleven Niang smiled and narrowed her eyes, "Haven't you heard a word of auntie?" I don't do anything bad in my life, and I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. Auntie, are you afraid that the ghost will look for you again? ”

"What are you looking for me? I didn't do anything! The daughter-in-law's voice was sharp, with indescribable fear, glaring at Eleven Niang, "You, what do you want to do?" ”

Eleven Niang smiled and spread her hands, "I didn't do anything, what are you afraid of when my aunt doesn't do anything?" I just said it casually, I was afraid that my aunt would be instigated by others, and if she did something wrong and would be entangled by evil spirits, I was kind-heart......ed."

The daughter-in-law glanced in the direction of the second room behind, Eleven Niang knew it, comforted the daughter-in-law with a smile, and went to the main house with Banniang who was holding back a smile.

Inside the house, Xia Chengping was talking to Old Man Xia, the father and son were smiling, and Mrs. Qiao was pulling Zhao, looking like her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law getting along very well.

Shi Niang and Shiro sat by the kang, chatting listlessly.

"Father, mother, eldest brother, sister-in-law."

Seeing Xia Chenghe and Luo, Xia Chengping and Zhao's faces instantly turned cold, and Mrs. Qiao glared at the couple and snorted, "You have made a fortune outside, how can you remember who your father and mother are?" ”

Old Man Xia coughed, glanced at Xia Chenghe meaningfully, and smiled, "The third child is here, sit." ”

He pointed to a small Mazha on the side of the kang.

Xia Chenghe belched, but didn't move, and looked at Xia Chengping, "How many guests does the eldest brother want to treat?" Can you invite the Eight Immortals table in the village? ”

"The third uncle asked, didn't he tell you who he wanted to treat in the town? Why don't you pretend you don't know at this point? Zhao pouted, and then said with a smile, "My family is not very popular in the village, I don't know if you want to borrow tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks, please move his third uncle and his third aunt?" ”

Banniang pouted, she knew that it would be no good thing to come back, and she knew that she would call her father!

Xia Chenghe sighed softly, and was preempted by Luo Shi to say something, "Sister-in-law said who to invite, but she didn't say how many people came from the family?" Is it for the whole family or just for the adults? I heard my sister-in-law say that my mother's uncle is also coming, but more than a dozen members of the two families even came? ”

If you want them not to be happy, you don't want to be happy!

The old lady has never liked her daughter-in-law to turn her elbow to her mother's house, and she doesn't believe that even her own uncle will be happy to hear the old family!

The old lady really sank her face and glanced at Zhao fiercely, "It's really a talented lady, and the pomp is big!" ”

"Mother......" Zhao explained with a busy smile, "son."

12.16 Xiaoxiang fans carnival, about the gods, grab the gifts!

explained, "The daughter-in-law's two uncles, you know, I have been looking forward to the master's fame, and now I have heard the letter, and I am happy to come to celebrate, and the daughter-in-law can't push the congratulatory people out, it doesn't matter if you drive them out, it doesn't matter if you lose the affection of your relatives, but it doesn't matter if it affects the master's official reputation." Do you think that's the reason? ”

The old lady looked at Zhao suspiciously, Zhao kept laughing, the old lady glared at her angrily, although she was reluctant, but she was really afraid that her son's reputation would not be good, and Zhao's face was stiff before she gave up, and waved her hand generously, "Okay, okay, look at your little childish appearance, how can you look like a talented lady." ”

Zhao only felt a throbbing pain in her temples, and she was so angry that she almost didn't throw her sleeves and leave on the spot, if she wasn't aggressive, why would she be so low!

This damned old woman!

There is also the third family of this troublemaker, I really don't see it, if you don't say anything on weekdays, you will be thorny when you speak! Well, that's good!

It's best not to ask for their big room one day, otherwise, she wants her to look good!

Xia Chenghe asked Xia Chengping with a smile, "How many people did the eldest brother invite?" We only have one table of eight immortals, but how many more do you want to invite? ”

"I just discussed with your eldest brother, and it is enough to ask for six more, one hundred and fifty-six bowls, and seventy or eighty pairs of chopsticks, which is almost enough." Old man Xia knocked on the cigarette stick, smiled at Xia Chenghe, Xia Chenghe responded, turned around to leave, Old man Xia stopped him, "The third family, you take the two daughters to run, the third child, you stay, Dad has something to discuss with you." ”

The mother and daughter looked at Xia Chenghe together, Xia Chenghe said with a smile, "The Eight Immortals Table is bulky, where can they move, I'll go." Dad has something to say, and I'll talk about it later, so it's the same when I come back. ”

Eleven Niang glanced at Xia Chengping, looked at the disdainful smile between his eyebrows, this father and son don't know what tricks they came up with, they really won't give up if they don't squeeze her father dry!

Old Man Xia was unhappy, frowned, took two puffs of cigarettes, and looked up at Xia Chenghe, "Dad asked you to say a word, you just pushed back like this?" ”

Mrs. Qiao took a sip, "I have a daughter-in-law and forget my father, but I am alive!" ”

Banniang wanted to speak but was stopped by Luo's look, but she wanted her to say that her man would be left to be exploited by the old man and the old lady, but she couldn't say a word.

Xia Chenghe smiled wryly, "Dad, seeing that it's getting dark, if you don't show up, it's too late." What's the matter with you, let's discuss it as if we were eating. ”

Old Man Xia sighed heavily, looking sad, "Dad knows that you are angry with your father and don't want to talk to your father, but this matter is related to the fate of our old Xia family and your eldest brother's official fortune in the future......"

At this point, Shi Niang almost understood what Old Man Xia wanted to say, Xia Chenghe glanced at his daughter, and actually understood what his father meant, no wonder his daughter quietly pulled him in the room and said that paragraph to him in the room.

"Dad, uncle wants to catch Su Shaonan, can you see it?"

"Hmm."

"If the uncle asks the uncle to tell the father and asks you to introduce the uncle to Su Shaonan, will the father agree?"

"We have received the favor of Young Master Su, how can we ask for others again? Besides, your uncle's business...... We can't embarrass Young Master Su. ”

Xia Chenghe sighed and looked at Old Man Xia, "I know what my father is talking about......"

"Well, you know. Go back and help your eldest brother, your eldest brother is better, our family is good, and your brother can be better......" Old Man Xia's eyes lit up, and he looked relieved that you were really a good bully.

Eleven Niang looked at her father's helpless wry smile and felt distressed.

His father is just a good heart, and he was bullied like this by these people, it's really hateful!

If it weren't for the fact that these people had a constant blood relationship with her father, why would she be so restrained!

Xia Chenghe was interrupted by Old Man Xia before he finished speaking, smiled bitterly, took a deep breath, clenched his fists and said, "Dad, my son can't help with this matter." ”

"What?" Old Man Xia's smiling face froze, looking at him, he looked like you dare to try it if you were disobedient, "What are you talking about?" What do you mean you can't help? I told you that this is a matter related to the fate of our old Xia family for the rest of our lives......"

"The eldest brother wants to befriend the young master of the Su family, but the son can't help!" Xia Chenghe looked at Old Man Xia solemnly, said a word, and continued without stopping, "The young master of the Su family and his son's family have the grace to save their lives, and the son can't be that ungrateful person, what's the difference between that and a beast!" Don't think about this matter for dad and big brother! My son can't help! If the father has nothing else to do, the son will go to the village to borrow the table and chopsticks of the eight immortals. ”

After the words fell, he glanced at Luo and his two daughters, and walked out of the main house.

Banniang's eyes widened, and she was pulled out of the house by Eleven Niang, Luo said hello to Mrs. Qiao and followed out of the main house, and the family of four converged in the yard and went straight out of the yard.

He refused!

He refused so bluntly!

Something that has never happened before!

Xia Chenghe's begging for the separation did not make Master Xia panic, but this time, he actually felt the panic in his heart.

He couldn't believe that the third son, who had always been obedient, dared to say such tough words and refused so completely!

And he didn't have a chance to speak again, so he turned around and left.
