Xia Chengping didn't expect that his father was in such a hurry to call them back for the New Year......

"Dad, what did you say?" Xia Chengping looked at Old Man Xia with a gloomy face in amazement, and his voice was a little screaming.

Zhao's hand, who was smiling and showing off the New Year's goods brought back by the old lady, trembled and threw away a box of halva. The old lady was quick-eyed, and pushed Zhao open to catch the halva box.

Zhao was not so lucky, his body staggered back, and he fell in front of the threshold, and his waist was hit hard by the threshold.

"Ouch......"

"Shut up!" Xia Chengping frowned, turned his head and glared at Zhao, who immediately stopped speaking and was helped up by Shi Niang.

Xia Chengping turned his head and looked at the old man Xia who was hanging his head and clicking the cigarette stick, and there was a little impatience in his eyes, "Dad, what you just said is true?" Are you really going to do that? ”

Old Man Xia snorted, and he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly under the smoke.

"How can that be?" Xia Chengping's face was not good-looking, "My son is going to the hospital to take the test in a few months after the New Year, and he will be the real Xiucai master, and it is rumored that the younger brother of the Xia family's Xiucai master has been kicked out of the house, how can you let your son gain a foothold in the officialdom in the future?!" ”

Old Man Xia smoked for a moment, raised his head and glanced at his son, and explained, "It's not to kick out the house, it's to cross out his family from the genealogy of our Xia family's second room." ”

"So what's the difference?" Xia Chengping is really going to be angry, Xia Chenghe is stupid, he can still understand that he is stupid and filial, what does his father want to do with him? Or is Xia Chenghe's stupidity actually inherited from his father?

Old Man Xia saw the fire in Xia Chengping's eyes, and he was also angry, "What? My son can't be yet? What do you think of all the things he does? For a nest of money-losing goods, I and your mother are loud, and the family is separated, and a little money in my hand is not looked down on by this one, either to make the fourth family ugly, or to make your big house unable to come to the stage, and to play at every turn vomiting blood and fainting to scare me and your mother! This time, it was for a few lowly minions to drive your eldest sister's family to freeze in the snow all night, but the loss was that they were saved by passers-by, otherwise, your two nephews would not have to freeze to death! ”

Old Man Xia held his breath in his heart, very annoyed, this venting was like a bamboo tube pouring edamame to shake out all the discomfort in his heart, "You say, you say!" What am I doing with such a brute under my name? Didn't he want to split up and live alone? I fulfill him, and he loves it! Don't follow my surname Xia from now on! ”

In the end, Old Man Xia simply roared out, his face was flushed, obviously he was angry to the extreme, remembering to go to the village chief's house to apologize and beg the village chief to give the house to his daughter when he was rejected, he dared to be angry and speechless, panting and roaring again, "Whose son does he want to be the son of whom, anyway, I don't want this son, he doesn't want to step into my house in the future!" ”

After speaking, he coughed vigorously, and stroked his chest to relieve his breath, but accidentally lost the cigarette stick, and watched the cigarette stick fall into the charcoal basin and splash a few sparks, which fell on the quilt he sat on, and burst out of the flames.

"Ahh It's on fire! The old lady shouted, retreated to the root of the wall, and the old man Xia was also panicked, looking up at his eldest son at a loss, Xia Chengping's eyes were panicked, and he took two steps back. Zhao and the old lady shrank together, their eyes widened as they watched the flames rise higher and higher, and they saw that they were about to burn to Old Man Xia.

Xia Chengan ran in from outside the door and was startled when he saw the sight in front of him, "Dad! ”

Old Man Xia looked over in a panic, moved his mouth a few times, and then shouted, "Second child, save Dad......"

Xia Chengan hurriedly pounced, grabbed the quilt that Old Man Xia was sitting on, and pushed Old Man Xia to the side with one hand, Old Man Xia sighed, Xia Chengan dragged the quilt and threw it into the yard.

After a long sound, the people in the main room reacted, Old Man Xia's face was a little pale, obviously frightened, Xia Chengan's ass sat next to the kang, supporting Old Man Xia, "Dad, it's okay, the quilt on fire was thrown out by me, it's okay......"

"Are you alright, old man?" Old Mrs. Qiao's face was also a little pale, her eyes were red, and she grabbed Old Man Xia's sleeve and began to cry, "What are you doing?" If you don't want the third child, we don't want it, anyway, I gave birth to five sons for you, and one less will be one less......"

"Mother!" Xia Cheng'an was shocked when he heard this, what did his mother mean by this? What do you mean not to be a third?

Old Mrs. Qiao didn't look at Xia Cheng'an, she still grabbed Old Man Xia's sleeve and cried, "...... You said that if you had a case, what would you do if you left me alone? I can't be bullied to death by them...... Old man, you can't leave me alone......"

Zhao pouted, looking down on the old lady's virtue, his lips squirmed, and he muttered softly, "It's like your man is dead." ”

Old Man Xia seemed to hear it, his eyes glanced at Zhao, and the frightened Zhao hurriedly lowered his head.

Old Man Xia slapped Mrs. Qiao away with one hand and shouted, "What are you mourning? I'm not dead yet! ”

"Dad, under the New Year, don't you dare to say this word!" Xia Chengan hurriedly reminded.

Old Man Xia raised his eyes, glanced at Xia Chengan deeply, sighed, and waved his hand at him, "Second brother, you go back first, I have something to discuss with your eldest brother." ”

Xia Chengan glanced at Mrs. Qiao, and stopped talking.

He belched uneasily, "If there is something wrong with that father, call me loudly, and I will open the door." After saying that, he got up and went out of the hall and went back to his own room.

Old Man Xia glanced at Xia Chengping, his eyes fell on the cigarette stick in the charcoal basin, and his voice was a little cold, "Boss, what do you mean?" ”

Xia Chengping was a little worried about avoiding the fire just now, and he didn't have the hardness just now when he spoke, "Dad, although the third child has done these things in a foolish way, he has indeed done a lot of things before, think about it, isn't the third child playing around with the land in the past?" Twenty years, there is no merit and hard work, even if he has made a mistake now, but isn't it also deceived by the villain? If he doesn't have a father and mother in his heart, he won't have it in the New Year

In the next year, I won't have anything to eat and drink, and I still want to honor my father and mother, do you think about ......it?"

Old Man Xia's condensed face did not melt at half, Xia Chengping secretly scolded in his heart, if the third child was not foolish and filial, if they did these things, the third child would have drawn a clear line with the old mansion, and the old man would not have been in contact with each other! It's your turn to draw a line with him?!

But he didn't dare to show it on his face, so he only stepped forward with a smile, "Dad, think about it, I have to go up to the test when I am a showman, if I don't win, I won't stop you if you want to, but if I win, I ......"

He paused, looked down at Old Man Xia, Old Man Xia's heart moved slightly, and there was a trace of longing in his eyes.

Xia Chengping's face fell, "Officialdom pays attention to official reputation, you said that I can't tolerate the reputation of my brother-in-law, can I still be an official?" If you can't be an official, isn't our efforts over the years in vain? That's a lot of silver, you say......"

"Old man, the boss is right, we spend a lot of money and can't pick up sesame seeds and throw watermelons!" Old Mrs. Qiao's eyes flashed with fire, scorching hot, as if she had become the old lady of the mansion, grabbed Old Man Xia's arm, and said excitedly, "If you don't wait to see the third child, we won't see him, let his family fend for themselves in the town, what do you think?" ”

Old Man Xia looked at Mrs. Qiao sideways, his eyes were a little loose, but he still didn't let go, Old Mrs. Qiao looked at him directly, shaking his arm, "Old man!" ”

Xia Chengping thought for a while, and then said, "My son has already talked to Cao Zhifu of Yunzhou Mansion, and he guarantees that his son will definitely be able to win!" ”

Old Man Xia's pupils shrank suddenly, and he took a breath of cold air, Huo Ran raised his head, "Really? ”

Xia Chengping hesitated, "It may take a few hundred taels of silver to go around." ”

"Done! Your eldest sister has a few hundred taels, and they will all be taken for you. When the time comes, you can return the money to your eldest sister......" Old Lady Qiao grinned beside her, and sold Xia Hongxia without hesitation.

Xia Chengping and Zhao glanced at each other, and there was a faint flash of light in their eyes.

Old Man Xia glanced at the old lady, and then turned his head to look at Xia Chengping, his face had eased, but his brows were still frowning, "Will it really affect you as an official?" ”

Xia Chengping nodded heavily.

Old Man Xia let out a long sigh, "Okay, then that's it, he won't be allowed to enter this door when he comes, and neither your mother nor I want to see him again!" ”

"Yes, they all listen to Dad!"

"It's not easy for your eldest sister's family, Dad means to let them live here for a winter first, open the spring, let your brother-in-law find a way to live, and then it's not too late to move out, boss, what do you think?" Old Man Xia asked with a light expression.

Where did Xia Chengping dare to touch Old Man Xia's moldy head, he nodded and agreed.

Old Man Xia glanced at him and pointed to the cigarette stick in the charcoal basin, "Take it out for your father." ”

"Huh?" Xia Chengping was stunned for a moment, the head of the cigarette stick that put tobacco has been burned red by the charcoal in the charcoal basin, how hot is this, let him hold it with his hand?

Zhao was stunned, and was about to go up to stop him, but was coldly glanced at by Old Man Xia, and froze and didn't dare to move again.

"What? Don't listen to your father? ”

Old man Xia looked straight at Xia Chengping, as if he wanted to see the depths of his eyes, Xia Chengping was helpless, gritted his teeth, shrunk his hand into his sleeve, and took out the cigarette stick and put it on the small table with the sleeve of his cotton jacket.

Xia Chengping grinned and laughed alongside, "Dad, take it out, it's a little hot, you can dry it for a while and then smoke." ”

Old Man Xia saw that he was still obedient, so he snorted and waved his hand, "Go ahead." ”

Xia Chengping almost ran away and turned back to the house with Zhao, Xia Chengping wiped the thin sweat on his forehead, and said to Zhao, "Twist a handkerchief for me and wipe it, my vest is sweaty." ”

Zhao took a sip, "The old man is really crazy, it's so hot for you to take it with your hands!" I think he just did it on purpose, and I reported that you didn't save him just now......"

"I know and I still say!" Xia Chengping was also annoyed in his heart, "The fire is so big, it is also the instinctive reaction of my body to subconsciously retreat, and my father actually remembered it in my heart!" You didn't see it just now, if I don't reach for it, I don't know how to rub me now! ”

"I think, you shouldn't open your mouth to intercede for the third family, lest the old man become an official, and they will drag him back!" Zhao said angrily.

Xia Chengping's face sank, and he said coldly, "The old man and the old lady are old and confused, are you confused?" I went to see my teacher some time ago, don't you know how he warned me? The family is restless, filial piety is irreverent, and the brother is not benevolent will not have the opportunity to enter the office, you want to be a talented lady for a lifetime, I don't want to be a talented master for a lifetime! Don't say that again, or I'll ......."

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm confused for a while, I won't say such a thing again, don't be angry, master, I'll go and boil water for you." Zhao's face turned white from Xia Chengping's anger, and he was busy admitting his mistake and going out to boil water.

Shi Niang and Shiro sat in the inner room, glanced at each other, half surprised and half happy in their eyes, Shiro quietly leaned in his sister's ear and said, "Fortunately, my father's teacher said such a sentence, otherwise the third uncle's family would definitely be removed from the master's name......"

"Then do we want to tell Sù Eleven Niang about this, they ......," Shi Niang also whispered.

Shiro shook his head and said in a low voice, "It's better not to, the third uncle must be sad if he knows......"

The two glanced at each other, and they both remembered Xia Chenghe's dying incident, and they were silent.

Da Lang glanced at the two of them, held the book and slammed it on the table a few times, and muttered, "You two are good people, eventful!" ”

Jiuniang sat in the innermost, holding a handkerchief in her hand, embroidering a flower and Dilian with a flying needle, a smile hooked at the corner of her mouth, hearing the eldest brother's muttering, she looked up and glanced at Shilang and Shi Niang, and pouted, "I don't know what benefits Sanfang gave them, I think about Sanfang all day long, why don't you reincarnate in Sanfang?" Faulty ......"

"Ninth Sister!" Shi Niang pouted

The mother pursed her mouth and wanted to say something, but was pulled by Shiro and whispered a few words in her ear, Shi Niang ate and laughed, and ignored Jiu Niang's mean words.

Jiuniang snorted, lowered her head and muttered, "Mud legs are mixed with mud legs, and mud legs will die for a lifetime!" Too lazy to say you ......"

In the fourth house, the Huang family arrested Xia Chengle and told the old man Xia to go to the village chief's house to eat deflated, and Xia Hongxia's family was going to move into the old house for a while, and said angrily, "The house is said to be for our Erlang to be used by relatives, the old man and the old lady said that your eldest sister will live for your eldest sister, what should our Erlang do?" ”

When Xia Chengle heard this, he frowned, "The old man has spoken?" ”

"If the old man doesn't speak, can I tell you in such a hurry?" Huang glared at Xia Chengle.

Xia Chengle shook his head, "No, let the married girl live in her mother's yard, and there will be no place for my father's face to rest when this is spread, why would he nod?" ”

"It's not for the village chief yet!" Huang pouted, "Plus the third room came out like this, the old man's face had already been pulled over by the villagers, how could he care about this ......"

Xia Chengle sat up from the kang, "What do you want to do, old man!" ”

"Who knows, I thought that the eldest sister was the eldest sister from before! I look at Yang Deshi's thief's eyebrows, and I don't know how to calculate how to make money from the old lady......" Huang pouted and scolded, and suddenly remembered something in the middle of speaking, and grabbed Xia Chengle's clothes, "His father, at noon, at the gate of the three-room courtyard, did the third child of your family say a word......

Xia Chengle glanced at the inexplicably excited Huang and frowned, "Just talk, what are you doing with my clothes?" Let go! ”

Huang shook it, but he didn't let go, and continued, "Did the third child say that the eldest sister sold that master and got a few hundred taels of silver?" Isn't it? Isn't it? ”

Xia Chengle was stunned, looking at the Huang family, the Huang family was excited, "The old lady is still going to beat the eldest sister because of this......"

Xia Chengle's eyes became hot, and he rubbed his hands together, "The eldest sister said that the silver was not on her at that time!" Why did I forget about this stubble! Mother, if you go over to set up the eldest sister, ask her where she hid the money! ”

Huang belched, turned his head with a smile, paused again without leaving the room, and turned back to ask Xia Chengle, "What about the house?" ”

Xia Chengle glared at her, "You are stupid, with these hundreds of taels of silver, when the time comes, let's take it and open a shop and buy a house to live in the town, it's not like we want to be more carefree!" ”

"That's right, Erlang and his father, you still have enough brains, I'm going to go to the eldest sister to set up, how can I get those hundreds of taels of silver! When the time comes, you will be the boss, and I will be the boss's wife...... Hehe......" Huang smirked.

Xia Chengle's face also blossomed, and his eyes aimed at the place where the prescription was hidden.

Liuniang hung her head, carefully embroidered the handkerchief, and secretly glanced at Xia Chengle, who was discovered by Xia Chengle and glanced at her, Liuniang was frightened and lowered her head.

Xia Chengle frowned, "Little girl!" Even Eleven Niang can't compare to a finger, and I don't know how the third brother gave birth to a daughter, a person is the same......"

Liuniang's eyes were red, and her head lowered again.

Huang also glanced at his daughter, and said angrily, "Let you embroider a peony for your ninth sister, not let you embroider the moon flowers that run up, look at what you have embroidered?" No wonder your nine sisters and ten sisters don't want to see you! ”

"Mother, I ......" Liuniang raised her head slightly, opened her mouth a few times and didn't dare to say that what Jiuniang wanted her to embroider was Di Lian, and her head hung down again.

Huang twisted his eyebrows and slapped her, "You still talk back......"

Xia Chengle stopped the Huang family, "What are you doing, don't you go to the other side to find the eldest sister." ”

Huang snorted, poked Liuniang's head again, and turned around to go out.

Xia Chengle glanced at Liuniang, who lowered her head and wiped her tears, turned around and went out.

Liu Niang dared to raise her head, covered her mouth and whimpered lowly.

Huang went to Xia Hongxia's house and talked with a smile, while Xia Chengle pulled Yang Deshi and said something about what the family could do to live with peace of mind, and followed the whereabouts of the silver.

It didn't take long for these things to reach the ears of Eleven Niang.

"I want to remove my father, but I was stopped by the big house?"

Eharu nodded.

Shi Niang helped her forehead and said to Xue Ye, "I should listen to you, do it later, let the old mansion remove my father's name, there is a lot less trouble, and now it's a good ......."

Xue Ye smiled, "Thinking about it from another angle, it is also beneficial not to remove the name." ”

"I don't see any benefits at all." Eleven Niang glanced at him.

Xue Ye looked in the direction of Yanghuai Hutong, "If you have a younger brother, you won't be criticized for taking the imperial examination." ”

Eleven Niang was stunned, looked at the promotion in his eyes and smiled, "Also, there are many people in the town who have sons like my mother's age, and there are many people who are ......"

Xue Ye laughed along.

Eleven Niang raised her hand and instructed Hui Chun, "Didn't Sifang want to use those hundreds of taels of silver to open a store?" Hide a nice place and remember ......"

Her eyes were full of smiles, and she smiled gently, "Be sure to let them steal it." ”

Huichun's face remained unchanged, and she responded, "Yes, girl." ”
