"Roar! Mrs. Li, why did you come home today? Didn't you say that you and your old man accompanied your grandson to study? ”

"Hey! It's the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family! My grandson has his grandfather with him, and I'm coming back for a little bit of a problem. ”

This old lady Li is the old lady of the Li family in Fucheng, the Li family is a big family in Fucheng, the Li family also has a school, and there will be a few people in each generation, so it is said that there is no need to send her grandson to study in the school in Liujiazhuang. Just because the reputation of Hepu Town School is too great, many families with a little strength want to send their children to school, just because Hepu Town has clearly said that it will not recruit students, which makes many people regret to give up. This time the Liujiazhuang School opened, I heard that it was opened by the Wang family, and the gentleman was also from the Hepu Town School, so they all rushed to send the school-age children at home.

There are not many dormitories prepared for children in Liujiazhuang School, but there are many students who come from afar, and children who can't be arranged can only be accompanied by adults in the family to rent a private house in Liujiazhuang or Fan Laozhuang next door.

Mrs. Li's eldest daughter-in-law is busy with housekeeping, and it is always uneasy to let the slave maid live outside with the child. After discussing for a long time, the old man said that he had nothing to do at home, so it was better to come out to accompany his grandson, the old lady saw that the old man went out so far away, if he was hooked up by a little goblin, how could it work? simply took the old couple with the slave and maid to accompany their grandson.

The old couple lived in the countryside, and when the children went to school, the old man would talk to the old men and chat, and the old lady would talk to the old women and the old women to gossip. Then, these two old ones, except for the children who go home with the children on vacation, usually do not go back alone, and she did have something to do when she came back this time.

As soon as the carriage stopped at the door, Mrs. Li's eldest daughter-in-law got the news, and hurriedly ran out to meet her, holding the old lady's arm very enthusiastically, and asked, "Why did my mother come back at this time!" But what's the matter? ”

The relationship between the Li family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not so good, and her eldest daughter-in-law's father was originally the master under the governor of Qin, the state capital. It's just that I didn't expect the Qin Governor's Mansion to rise again and again. was promoted to the capital to be an official, and he also brought the father of the eldest daughter-in-law to the capital and got a seven-rank official position. Compared with their old man, who has no official position, his son is just a lifter. The identity of the daughter-in-law here is several layers higher. Therefore, it is inevitable that the daughter-in-law is a little arrogant in the mother-in-law's house, although the mother-in-law is not contradicted by the daughter-in-law or disrespectful, but the daughter-in-law's attitude makes her look at the day and night.

Since taking his grandson and the old man out to live, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has become harmonious. The daughter-in-law thought that her father-in-law and mother-in-law went out to suffer for their son. I want to know this and be kind to my parents-in-law. As a mother-in-law, she lives outside, and she can't see her daughter-in-law's arrogance all day long, and she doesn't have so much anger about her daughter-in-law. Two good become one good, and then everyone is good!

Old Mrs. Li smiled and nodded: "There is something!" The lord of the Wang family, who was an official outside, has returned, and I heard that he is about to be a household servant, and he is a big official! Your father has already talked to this senior official over there with the people of the Liu family, let me come back and pick up the eldest son, and he will take the eldest son to visit the senior official. ”

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Li family was a little unimpressed, thinking that Lord Qin, who had taken refuge with her father, had gone to the capital several years earlier. The power in the capital is not greater than that of the Wang family! Why bother to go far and befriend someone you don't know? But she also knew that she couldn't say this in front of her mother-in-law, so she could only tell her husband in private.

This Li Juren has taken the exam several times, and every time he goes to the capital in the last few times, he has settled in his father-in-law's house. Although Zhangren's current grade is not high, he is a Beijing official and settled in the capital. Even if his family is a big family, he will still be rolled by a few ignorant wives, brothers and sisters-in-law when he settles in his house. As a son who grew up in a big family, he doesn't care about these younger brothers and sisters who are small families, but he always lives among these people, and his mood is not much better. Not to mention calming down to read books and appreciate good texts. Therefore, every time I see that I didn't pass the exam, I don't wait for my father-in-law to invite me to stay, so I pack up my package and leave.

When he was in the capital, he had already heard that the Wang family had a community in the capital, which was where this champion had lived, and there were many people who were taking the exam in the capital. The last two exams have been better than the first, and he has long been willing to rent a house to live in. Just because his father-in-law's family was also in the capital, he insisted on asking him to live in his house, so he had to give up again and again. This time, I finally got this excuse, and I have to seize this opportunity no matter what.

Regarding his wife's statement that it is better to rely on outsiders than on his family, he doesn't want to refute anything, and now he is not asking people to get an official position, he just wants someone to be able to point out himself. Take advantage of the line of the Wang family, and the next time you go to the capital, you will naturally live in the Wang family's community. At that time, the father-in-law will not blame himself for being separated from him, and he will have to live outside. However, what should be explained is still to be explained, so as not to talk nonsense when she goes back to her parents' house, so that her father-in-law will be dissatisfied with herself.

"I want to show all the articles I have tried in the past few times to Lord Wang, what the problem is, and ask him to help give me some advice. So many people in their family were able to pass the Jinshi examination, and they all had real talent and learning, and it was impossible to try their luck. I usually go to their curator Shi to help and give advice, but unfortunately people are afraid of causing trouble, so they don't accept everyone. It's an opportunity to meet Lord Wang this time, didn't you listen to my mother, a lot of officials, as well as Lord Wang's former classmates and gentlemen, have all gone to meet you?! There are still many people who have gone to visit, but Lord Wang is still missing! ”

As for the eldest son of the Li family, there are indeed some people who don't see this little dragon, but the main reason why they don't see it is that people have to give gifts. How many times have I persuaded them to go back with their things first, and come empty-handed next time, but unfortunately people are too stubborn and don't listen, so Xiaolong resolutely does not accept these people.

When the woman heard what her husband said, she didn't dare to stop her any longer, so she helped her husband sort out the articles of his several exams, so that she could bring them to the king for guidance.

Outside, Mrs. Li was chatting with the old lady next door: "Their village really sells everything!" Early in the morning, there was a large piece at the entrance of the school, there were sugar fried rice cakes, fried fritters, fried glutinous cakes, fried glutinous cakes, fried dumplings, fried steamed buns, beef vermicelli casserole, braised pork ribs noodle casserole, and many more I don't remember, not to mention that the children can't eat it, even I and my old man have to pick up breakfast every morning for a while. I want to eat this and that, and I want to eat this if I want that.

It's noon! There is also everything, what pickles, braised pork, roast duck, chestnut chicken, radish stew, whatever you want to eat. More than we eat in our city. The pickles are so sour and delicious, a penny and a big spoon, and my old man and I take this pickles to eat, and we have to eat two big bowls at a meal. You see my body is much better than in previous years, right? ”

The old lady next door to the Li family is not an ordinary person, and she is also a wife with a bit of family background. Seeing that Mrs. Li has lived in the countryside for less than two years, her speech and actions are not much different from that of the old woman in the countryside, and she feels a little uncomfortable. However, looking at Mrs. Li's body is indeed much tougher, and her personality is more cheerful than before, she laughs when she can't say two words, as if there is always something happy. I can't help but feel a little envious in my heart, but I can't say anything good about it. She didn't answer Mrs. Li's question, but instead focused elsewhere: "Then you don't have to cook every day!" Anyway, there are all for sale, so just buy and eat! ”

"We don't cook now, they don't sell at night, so we buy more at noon and have a meal at night."

"Then they don't cook in the school? How can this student afford to buy food like this every day? ”

"Do! How could you not do it! However, they only have steamed buns, steamed buns, eggs, and then porridge in the morning, and there is only one green vegetable and one meat at noon, and it seems that there is also a green vegetable and one meat at night. This kind of food is more than enough for ordinary children, but there are many children like ours in this school. When I'm at home, three meals a day are changed every day, and I eat those two things every day in the school, how can I stand it!? ”

The old lady next door was puzzled: "Even if it is a family like yours, how many children can there be?" How much money do so many of them make by selling food? ”

Mrs. Li replied with a smile: "There are more than two hundred children like this, all of whom come from afar, either rich or powerful, and the family is accompanied by several people. Do you calculate how many people you have to eat? Not only do they make money selling food, but they also earn a lot of money in a year! ”

The old lady next door was even more incomprehensible: "You don't have to cook three meals a day, and you don't usually have anything to do, so why do you have to get so many people to serve you?" Can this still be considered reading? ”

Mrs. Li was a little embarrassed, and explained with a dry smile: "Hey! It's not that we have to stay there, it's that this Mr. Wang family is unsympathetic! No matter what kind of family this child comes from, if he bullies the children of ordinary people in the school, he will be kicked out directly. We are not afraid that the child is ignorant and will be kicked out by the husband if he does something wrong, saying that he is accompanying the child, but in fact, he is also taking care of the child not to cause trouble. It's been a long time to send it in, but if you get kicked out, it will be difficult to send it in the future! ”

The old lady next door didn't believe it, and pouted: "Don't listen to their shouting, if you really want to meet the children of the official family bullying people, do you think they will really rush out?!" It's too late to coax! (To be continued.) )

PS: I originally wanted to start adding more yesterday, but the weather here has changed too much, it will be hot and cold, but I only brought a windbreaker in my clothes, and I had a stomachache from freezing the day before yesterday, and I started vomiting again yesterday. At night, I bought an electric heater for my stomach, and I burned my chest with several blisters. Today's stomach pain is not good, and my stomach starts to cramp again, and I really can't hold on. I'm really sorry, but I can't cash in on it when I say it's good, I'm sorry!
