035 Resourcefulness

Shilang and Shi Niang were trapped at home, there was no way to come out to report the news, and they were anxious to turn around in the house, Shi Niang grabbed Zhao's arm and cried, "Mother, I can't let the third sister marry that old man, this is ruining the second half of the third sister's life......"

Zhao smiled and persuaded her daughter, "Shi Niang, that Xiucai is just a little older, your third sister won't suffer a loss if she marries, her reputation is bad in our village, what serious family do you want to marry?" Mother is also for her good, you are obedient, wait for your father to be admitted to Xiucai next year, our family will move to Yunzhou to live, and when your father becomes an official, my mother will tell you that the family is good......"

"I don't listen, I don't listen, mother, you go and tell your father, let that Xiucai find someone else, the third sister can't marry him!" Shi Niang didn't follow, pestering the Zhao family endlessly.

Xia Chengping listened to it really outside, his face was gloomy and angry, and he glared at Shiro, "If your eldest brother doesn't stop you, what do you want to do?" Going to report the news secretly? Can't you get off the stage for your father? I'm about to get my hands on the lifter gone? You're still not my son?! ”

Shiro twisted his neck, "Dad, the test is based on the real literary talent, you can be admitted to us and we are proud of you, you can't get into our family to live a good life, why do you have to get along with the third uncle and three aunts?" ”

"I can't get along with them? You open your eyes and see clearly, it's them who can't get along with your father and me! You don't know how hard it is at home? My father is poor and doesn't even have the money to treat him, so if I go to him for help, he will smoke your father and me in the face in front of a street person! You are still talking to him......" Xia Chengping raised his hand and wanted to hit his son, but he endured it, and put it down in annoyance, "You really want to be angry with me!" ”

Shiro was aggrieved, "Why didn't Dad say that you were going to sell the second sister and the third sister to Yunzhou Mansion before?" Why don't you say that the third uncle and we split up, we didn't give anyone any help when we split up, why did we come to ask for money? The third uncle doesn't owe anything to our family, if you really want to talk about it, we owe it to the third uncle's family......"

"Bastard! Are you two of you being fascinated by their family?! Xia Chengping slapped on the table, his mouth was numb, and he couldn't wait to slap his son a few times.

Zhao and Shi Niang heard movement in the house, one paused to cry, and the other hurriedly patted the back of his daughter's hand to comfort him, and immediately got up and went out, "Master, why are you so angry?" ”

"I'm angry? I'm about to be by this pair of unfilial sons and daughters! Xia Chengping threw his sleeves out and ordered, "Looking at the two of them for the past two days, they are not allowed to go anywhere, and then I find that they and Sanfang secretly reported the news, and sent them back to the old house directly to give their parents a visit, we should not have this pair of children who eat inside and outside!" ”

Zhao was startled and stood in front of his son, "His father, you have to teach the child to do something wrong, why are you still serious?" ”

"A loving mother is a loser!" Xia Chengping glared at Zhao angrily, "You also leave me at home for reflection!" ”

"Daddy......" Shiro wanted to say something, but was pulled by Zhao, "Okay, don't say a few words, see if your father is not angry enough, right?" ”

Shiro and Shi Niang glanced at each other, full of helplessness.

……

There is an old saying, "No book is made without coincidence!" That's it.

Eleven Niang and Eight Niang looked for Xia Chengxiang's absence, and after asking him if he went to Xia's house in the east of the city, they turned home, and when they passed by a street corner, they happened to meet Xiucai and matchmakers who bought boxes in the Song family's shop.

You can't blame the sisters for being sensitive, it's really that the matchmaker's shape is very eye-catching, a big red head flower is just festive, and it also attracted a few bees to chase, and what is even more exaggerated is that she is obviously very fat, and she wears a red dress, and her fat is strangled, and she trembles when she walks.

Banniang couldn't help but cover her mouth and snicker, Eleven Niang also pursed her lips and smiled, staggered over, and heard a compliment from the matchmaker, "Ouch, this little girl of the Xia family is really blessed to marry the Xiucai master, and she is a Xiucai lady when she enters ......the door, and she doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking."

Shi Niang's footsteps stopped instantly, and she glanced at the talented old man next to the matchmaker, who looked like he was about forty, with a few white silks on his temples, his eyes were blank, his chin had a long beard, and he was arrogant.

"Hurry up, buy gifts today, and go over to propose at lunch tomorrow, but don't make a mistake at the wrong time! It's a good thing for me, sir, the matchmaker has half a penny, and you don't want to take it! "Master Xiucai stroked his beard and slanted the matchmaker.

The matchmaker was stunned, "Over noon?" She said that she hadn't seen anyone rush to say kiss at noon for so many years, what kind of time is this?

However, it was the uncle who paid the money, and the matchmaker just asked casually, and immediately responded with a smile, "Yes, yes, yes, make sure to pinch the hour, not earlier or later." Master Xiucai is waiting to be the groom's official! ”

The corners of Eleven Niang's lips hooked a sneer, to be able to find such a person for the sake of her third sister, Dafang is really painstaking!

After finding a reason, Eleven Niang sent Banniang back first, and followed Naxiu all the way to his door while walking.

The people who lived together in the alley saw the matchmaker and congratulated the master Xiucai with a smile, and the master Xiucai smiled and invited them to drink the wedding wine on the day of the big day, and everyone responded with a smile, but a little girl rushed out, hugged the leg of the master Xiucai and cried, "Dad, Yu'er doesn't want the stepmother, the stepmother will eat Yu'er......"

Another two fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys and girls came out of the yard and looked at Master Xiucai with a reluctant face, Master Xiucai immediately sank his face, and glanced at the mother-in-law not far away, and the mother-in-law hurriedly came over and took the little girl away, "Third Miss is good, let's go back and eat sugar cakes......"

"Nurse, Yu'er will never eat sugar cakes again, don't let your father marry your stepmother, your stepmother won't see her after eating Yu'er......"

"The stepmother won't eat our Yu'er, that's all nonsense from others......"

Someone in the crowd whispered, "I'm not talking nonsense, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather, look at who is at the mouth of the alley, what is the father of the stepmother who has not passed the door?" What is the father of the stepmother after passing the door? ”

Eleven Niang glanced at the young daughter-in-law who spoke, her eyebrows bent, and she smiled.

She quietly walked over and pulled the corner of the daughter-in-law's clothes, "Sister, I heard that the little stepmother married by Master Xiucai is only fifteen, yes."

Is it true that the little stepmother is only fifteen? ”

"What? It's only fifteen! How can that?! The young daughter-in-law's eyes widened, and her voice suddenly rose an octave, and the people around her looked at her, Eleven Niang lowered her head and pointed at her fingers, "Just now the matchmaker seemed to be the same age as the eldest daughter of the old man Xiucai, I guessed ......."

The young daughter-in-law's eyes lit up, "The daughter of the old man's family is not fifteen this year, and the ceremony will be next month!" My mother, this old cucumber scoop still wants to rub the tender leaves, it's really shameless! ”

Someone next to him pulled the young daughter-in-law, "What are you talking about old cucumbers?" Who do you say? ”

The young daughter-in-law pouted at the Xiucai master, "Who else, our Xiucai master in the alley, he looks like a decent person on weekdays, you said that marrying a wife should not marry someone who can run a family, people are good, the girl she married is only fifteen, as old as his daughter, tsk......t"

"What? Really? I haven't heard of it, didn't it mean that the old lady married Master Xiucai in order to give him a pair of half-children to take care of family affairs? How did you say that a fifteen-year-old step-room, that's still a child, what can you do? ”

"Hey, so ...... Looks pretty decent on weekdays, but in fact, it's all dirty......"

Some people dislike the young daughter-in-law's unpleasant speech, and some people think that this superior Xiucai master is really dirty, and then look at the past and his eyes change, the young daughter-in-law is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, knocking on a handful of melon seeds and asking loudly, "Hey, Xiucai master, I heard that the new daughter-in-law you said is only fifteen, does your daughter call her mother or sister?" ”

A group of people burst into laughter, and the face of the talented man was instantly ugly, and he glared at the matchmaker fiercely, and said to the daughter-in-law, "My family affairs have nothing to do with outsiders." ”

The young daughter-in-law opened her mouth and spit out the skin of melon seeds, "Who said it has nothing to do with us?" Catch Ming'er, your new daughter-in-law enters the door, let's go to the door, is it called a sister or an aunt? Saying that, he pretended to be evil and shivered twice, "I can't call someone as big as your daughter to call my aunt, it's disgusting." ”

The people around looked sideways, and most of them nodded, "That's really the case, call a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl as an aunt...... It's weird to think about. ”

The old man Xiucai drove the matchmaker away, and he wanted to ignore this group of troublemakers and go to the courtyard, and an old man on crutches walked out of the courtyard, "What fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl and aunt?" Son, are they telling the truth? ”

Someone replied to the old lady's words, "Master Xiucai has found you a new daughter-in-law of fifteen or sixteen years old, ouch, are you going to be a granddaughter or a daughter-in-law when you marry home?" ”

"Mother, don't listen to those people's nonsense, there's nothing to do." Master Xiucai helped the old lady to the house, and the little girl named Yu'er rushed over and hugged the old lady's leg and cried, "Milk, Dad wants to marry a little stepmother, Yu'er doesn't want to ......"

"Oh, we don't want it, we don't want it!" The old lady hugged her granddaughter and glared at Master Xiucai, "Dare to marry a little goblin and enter the door to harm my grandchildren, see if I don't break your legs!" Come back with me. ”

"Haha, there's a good show to watch now, it's strange that the old lady will let the old lady marry a little girl to enter the door!" The young daughter-in-law reached out and took out another handful of melon seeds from her pocket and swallowed it.

The daughter-in-law next to her also smiled, "Master Xiucai is a filial son, and this matter is hidden from the old lady, and I can't say that I can return it if I turn back." ”

The matchmaker rolled her eyes, "This can't be, right?" They all said that they would go to propose tomorrow? "Why is there such a fuss at this pass, this intimacy is separated, what can she do with her matchmaker's silver?

Eleven Niang hid in the corner to watch the play, and it didn't take long for a mother-in-law to come out and say a few words to the matchmaker, the matchmaker's face changed, and a smile rippled in a moment, and Eleven Niang heard two sentences at the tip of her ear, "Ouch, it's all the same thing, marry a good housekeeper of the right age, then the Xia family...... Okay, listen to the old lady, Cheng, then I'll go to the south of the city tomorrow, and I'm sure it's done......"

Eleven Niang breathed a sigh of relief, quietly walked out of the alley, and went to the West Market on the way to pick up a few rare things before turning home.

When they got home, Xia Chenghe and Luo were about to go out, and the three ** of the family changed the information, and determined that the Xiucai master was what the big house wanted to say to Sanniang, and heard Eleven Niang say that there were three children in the family who looked like Xiucai, and the older one was bigger than Sanniang, Luo gritted his teeth angrily, "Look at the bad water in this belly, what do you think?" I'm afraid we're better off than they are! Thanks to Eleven Niang's cleverness, otherwise let such a person come to the door, will our Sanniang still be a man? How can you say kiss in the future? I really want to bite the two bites of that surnamed Zhao! Something with a black heart......"

Xia Chenghe opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything, what could he say about this kind of thing? The eldest brother told his daughter such a family matter, and asked the old man to press him to agree? !

What can he say?

He didn't want to say anything, his heart was cold!

It would be good if this matter ended like this, but the Xiucai master was ashamed of his mother, forgot to inform Xia Chengping, and changed the bride candidate privately, so that when Xia Chengping went to cheer on the second day, no one from the Xiucai family came.

Xia Chengping didn't know, seeing that Xia Chenghe and Luo's faces were not good-looking, he thought that Sanfang had been forced to agree to the family affair, so he smiled and said congratulations, and the angry Banniang beat the person out with a broom!

"Uncle doesn't count us, we will be Amitabha! The shop can't accommodate the big Buddha, so please go back! ”

Xia Chengping's second monk was confused, thinking that they were angry, and patiently explained to Banniang while hiding, "Although your brother-in-law is older, his family conditions are good......

Eleven Niang's eyes were cold, she took a copper coin from the counter and threw it over, Xia Chengping only felt a pain in his body, he couldn't make a sound, and he was scared into a cold sweat.

Eleven Niang walked over and said with a smile, "Did Uncle eat something bad?" I can't say anything, I see this disease...... Treated. ”

Shi Niang did not hide the coldness in her eyes, Xia Chengping suddenly remembered that the three foreign families were all from the Lian family, her eyes were round and she looked at Shi Niang, and she opened her mouth and shouted silently, "You...... You ......"

It's this girl's doing!

He couldn't speak, and the last time his mother couldn't speak, it was all this girl's ghost!

Eleven Niang bent down and picked up the copper coin on the ground and checked it in her hand, her eyes swept over Xia Chengping, and she smiled faintly, "My father has been in poor health recently, and I have learned some kung fu with the doctor, why don't I show it to my uncle?" I remember that last time my grandmother was suddenly speechless, and I drank the medicine for two hours......"

Xia Chengping shook his head again and again, his mother was poured three bowls of Coptis chinensis before she could speak, and her mouth was bitter for half a month, he didn't want to taste Coptis chinensis.

"You...... You wait for me! Dropping a silent threat, Xia Chengping turned around and left, walking away from the Xia family's shop very quickly, that girl was a little evil, he better stay away.

Sure enough, when I went to the pharmacy, the doctor looked at him strangely, "You have been sealed dumb acupoints, and you can't make a sound if the acupuncture points are blocked." ”

"Huh? So when will I be able to speak up? He gestured for a long time to let the doctor understand what he wanted to express, the doctor was sweating anxiously, and finally said, "I can't see this, you can just go find someone to untie your acupoint." ”

Of course, Xia Chengping didn't want to go to Shi Niang, knowing that Shi Niang could seal his acupoint with a copper coin, he was a little afraid, I remember which book I had read about it, there is a dead hole in the human body and you will die if you point to the dead hole!

That girl doesn't know how long she has been studying, in case a copper coin points her death hole......

Xia Chengping touched the cold back of his neck, lost a few medical fees, and went home from the medical hall.

When he got home, he naturally looked bad, hiding in the house and reading, and he didn't care how Zhao talked to him.

In the middle of the night, when everyone else was asleep, he tried to speak in the dark night, and tortured until the next morning, when he got up and went to the thatched house, met the owner and said hello, laughed and hummed, and actually made a sound!

A few days later, I saw the Xiucai master again, and learned that the family had married a widowed niece of the old lady's family as a house, and the husband and wife got along harmoniously.

But Xia Chengping, the initiator, was embarrassed, because as soon as the old man saw him, he remembered the gossip that was discussed by the neighbors, and his attitude towards him was much colder.

Xia Chengping naturally annoyed Sanfang thousands of times.

Master Xiucai has been holding the test questions for a few years in his hand, and he heard that the chief examiner of the next township test is the chief examiner of one of the worlds, and he wants to borrow the test questions to refer to it!

Now, it's all in vain......

The youngest son of the third aunt's family to August 13 over the full moon, the family prepared gifts early, rented a carriage to go to Lu'an Village, grandparents because of the close to live, and the two uncles and uncles came over a long time ago, the aunt came to the eleventh Niang's family at the last moment, a yard was lively and hung with festive red silk.

There is a stage set up in the middle of the courtyard, some people are babbling and singing, the stage is surrounded by neatly arranged tables and chairs, full of the old people, children and daughters-in-law in the village, there are snacks on the table to eat, a group of people are smiling and talking, and a maid comes to lead the way, explaining with a smile, "The old lady said to invite the Yunque class to sing the opera, so that the people in the village are lively and lively." ”

The eldest aunt Xu stood at the door to greet Luo and Aunt Luo, "It's coming, the third aunt and grandmother are making a fuss and refusing to drink the soup, so I have to talk to you before drinking." ”

"What?" Luo smiled and greeted his sister-in-law, and while lifting the curtain and walking inside, he asked, "Didn't the doctor say that Zhu Niang's body is not stable and she needs to sit for an extra month?" ”

Xu Shi smiled, "My mother said that those who sit more will sit more, and they still have to sweat according to their habits today, so as not to have cold bones and bones, and it will be difficult to have children in the future." ”

"That's it." Aunt Luo laughed, "However, when it comes to our bamboo lady, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort." ”

The eldest aunt pursed her lips and smiled, and followed Luo and Aunt Luo into the house.

In the room, Aunt Luo was really making trouble, "Mother, I still have to stay in bed for a month, and I will be sticky after drinking the soup at this time, so let's wait until next month." ”

"If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you!" Mrs. Luo glared at her daughter, "If you have a child, you have to die or live, if you don't take care of your body, you will have another child, and you will shout that you will not give birth!" No matter what you say this time, the soup to ward off the cold must be drunk......"

"Mother......" Aunt Luo still wanted to be coquettish, but Luo and Aunt Luo had already come in with a smile, "Mother, Zhu Niang." ”

The little man was lying at the end of the bed, stuffing his fist into his mouth with one hand, and pulling his little soles to his mouth with the other, a pair of big black pearl-like eyes dripping around, and several sisters who saw the door pounced.

"Mother, my brother is fragrant ......" Little Twelve grinned, and her pink little hand gently poked the cheeks of the little man's flesh, and the little man stared at her.

Luo smiled, looked up and asked Aunt Luo, "Can you name the child?" ”

"Well, Xianggong took the name Yun, which means both civil and military." Aunt Luo's willow eyebrows were slightly raised, her eyes were smiling, and she looked at her son at the head of the bed with a loving face.

Luo Shi teased Aunt Luo with a smile at first, but somehow her eyes suddenly dimmed, but she forced a smile again, and after a few rounds with her sisters, Aunt Luo sighed and pulled her out of the room, "You, you, let me tell you what's good?" It's nothing to have another child in your early thirties, and the younger twelve are four years old, why don't you want another one in the past few years? Did you get cold during confinement......

"Big sister, there is no ......"

Mrs. Luo also walked out at some point, heard the words of her eldest daughter, glanced at Luo, stepped forward and said, "Your sister has invited a doctor to sit at home, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, Zhiniang, you take your sister to the living room, I will go to my in-laws' wife to ask for a doctor, and show your sister a look." ”

"Mother......" Luo went to stop the old lady of the Luo family, but was glared at by the old lady of the Luo family, and hurriedly put her hand away, Aunt Luo shook her head disapprovingly, and pulled her sister to the living room, "Let's go, my mother and I will still harm you, don't take advantage of your youth to have a child, you have been gone for a hundred years, but let their sisters have a mother to rely on."

The mother's brother who can be relied on is gone! ”

"Sister, I didn't say I didn't want children, it's not my problem." Roche was a little crying and laughing, she had already made up her mind to have a child, but wasn't her father in bad health recently? She didn't look for that either......

When Aunt Luo heard this, she looked at her in amazement, "It's not your problem?" Is that the brother-in-law doesn't want it? Can't you? He doesn't want a son to carry on his family......"

"Big sister, it's not what you think!" Luo was helpless, so he had to tell Xia Chenghe that he was not in good health, and the doctor told him to have a good life, and Aunt Luo sighed helplessly, "This matter is in a hurry...... Thanks to your separation, this is even more troublesome than this. ”

Roche tugged at the corners of his mouth and didn't speak.

After a while, the old lady of the Luo family and the old lady of the Mo family came together, followed by an old doctor, said hello, and wanted to check Luo's pulse, Luo said no, but was stopped by Aunt Luo, "Look at it so that my mother can feel at ease." ”

Roche answered.

The doctor stroked his beard and smiled, "Grandma is in good health, and it is not difficult to conceive a child, but you should pay attention to avoid overworking in the early stage of pregnancy, so as not to move the fetus." ”

The old lady of the Luo family breathed a sigh of relief, thanked the old doctor with a smile, and sent the old lady of the Luo family away and pulled her daughter to speak, "You and your son-in-law should also be tight, don't keep thinking about guarding a few daughters!" No son can't say it, don't you hear it? ”

"Mother...... "Mother " Luo Shizhen's face flushed, but the old lady of the Luo family looked at her with a cold face, "I'm serious with you, do you hear?" ”

"I heard it, I heard it." Roche was busy answering.

Mrs. Luo still wanted to say a few more words, but the voice of the old lady of the Mo family calling her came from outside, so she had to pause and go to answer Mrs. Mo.

Aunt Luo laughed beside her, and Luo stomped her feet helplessly, "Eldest sister......"

During this period, Eleven Niang secretly went to Mo Shouzhen and borrowed someone from him in the capital.

"You're going to the capital?" Mo Shouchen frowned, "No, it's too dangerous for you to go to the capital alone." ”

Eleven Niang knew that he would not agree, so she had to say that she would enter Beijing with Miss Mo San, but it was not appropriate to use Meng Yuanlang's people after entering Beijing.

In the capital, she must go, one is to see the eldest sister, and the other is to ...... There were some things she had to understand.

Mo Shouchen glared at her for a long time, "Is this girl of yours really the granddaughter of her mother-in-law and father-in-law?" "The character of the newborn calf who is not afraid of the tiger is very similar to the old man of the Luo family, who is this thoughtful and thoughtful?

Eleven Niang bent her eyebrows lightly and smiled, "You can ask my grandparents about this." ”

Mo Shouzhen shook his head, "If I ask something like this, your grandfather will kill me with a hammer." Must go? ”

"I have to go." Eleven Niang nodded.

Mo Shouchen sighed, "Okay, anyway, since I received that letter, I have to believe it if I don't believe it!" He muttered softly, "Now the children are all ...... two by one."

Eleven Niang raised her eyebrows, she is not a child.

Mo Shouzhen high-fived, and the cold-faced handsome guy who appeared last time instantly appeared in the room, clenching his fists, "Master." ”

"Jiang Yi, can you find the person you are looking for?"

"Two, one is nineteen, one is twenty-three, and the two of them can beat me in fifty moves."

Mo Shouchen frowned, glanced at Eleven Niang, and together with Jiang, "Pass the book, let them come to Qingshui immediately." ”

"Yes." Jiang Yi went out in response.

"It's the same age as you, there are too few good kung fu, these two are two years older than you, you use it first, and I'll help you change it in two years." Mo Shouchen frowned and looked at Eleven Niang, "You should pay more attention yourself, there is our shop on Sifang Street in the capital, if you have an emergency and dangerous situation, you can take the letter I gave you to go to find the second shopkeeper of the shop." ”

Eleven Niang looked at Mo Shouzhen, blinked her eyes, and said quietly but clearly, "The third aunt is cultivating power in secret, and he is not afraid of the ...... of the Marquis of Zhongqin."

"So it's in the dark!" Mo Shouchen glared at Eleven Niang, "Say, what do you want to do?" ”

Eleven Niang rolled her eyes and smiled, "I can't say a word clearly, I'll write it to the third aunt in a few days, and the third aunt will know it at a glance." ”

She wants to copy the one she trained in modern times, take the essence of it, remove the dross, and use it for her own use!

With a modern and sophisticated mercenary training plan and outstanding martial arts resources in ancient times, she is looking forward to what kind of elite soldiers and strong generals she can create.

Eleven Niang's eyes were shining with interest, and the killing and bloodshed flashed, and Mo Shouzhen was stunned when he saw it, for a moment, he thought that what was standing in front of him was not a child, but a hunter with rich hunting experience!
