Chapter 103: Calculation

The first update

The Zeng family is also busy, the Li family sent someone to inform Zeng Quan, Li Bin was too lazy to talk to the Zeng family, just send a clever person to make it clear, as for how Zeng Quan went home and told his parents, that was their business. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zeng Quan thought about it for a while, and he knew about his mother's publicity outside, but he really couldn't control her mouth, even if he did, it would be good for a few days, and it would be like that in a few days. He and his grandfather now have a clear goal, and there can be nonsense in the family, but there must be no disorderly response.

Now the Zeng family can leave some talk to people in the Ouyang family, but in Zeng Quan's opinion, this is harmless, even if he really passes by, as long as there is no big hatred, it is futile to rely on this handle to find the eldest brother. You can't say that the old lady scolds her daughter-in-law as a sin!

But now it's different, the Chen family is going to the capital to set up a marriage for Brother Hao, although it didn't say which family Brother Hao set, but in the capital, the old man of the Chen family and the two wives are going to go, indicating that the in-laws are only afraid that they are not ordinary people.

The old lady originally sighed at home since the year when the eldest brother became a jinshi, saying that she had already said that the eldest brother was to be the prime minister's life, but given such a useless in-laws, she had been nagging for three or four years, and if she followed them to the capital, she was afraid that she would offend all her relatives.

Even if he didn't offend his relatives, when he arrived in the capital, he really lived with his sister-in-law, and he couldn't think about his sister-in-law's temperament. Now I regret a little bit that I didn't let my mother take care of her temperament. After thinking about it, I still went to the back of the shop and discussed with my daughter-in-law.

He has been literate in the past few years, and his brain is good, but he has read books again, understands the truth, and has started to do business again, so his brain is even more extraordinary. At this time, they were looking at the account books, and they opened a book printing shop, along with a shop that sold books.

In fact, this is equivalent to two account books, each of which is its own, every day He is actually quite busy, look at her husband coming in, He is not bad, he hurriedly put down the abacus, and couldn't help but glance at the big grandfather clock on the side, "Why is it so early today?" ”

"The Li family sent someone to summon the news, Brother Hao may want to get married, Master Chen's family is going to the capital, I want to ask my father and mother if they want to go together, they are chartering a big boat this time, there are many places." Zeng Quan casually found a seat and sat down, He got up and poured him a glass of water and handed it to him, his brows furrowed, and sat down beside him.

"Yuan said, this is a good thing, big brother and they haven't come back for four or five years. Daddy and mother miss it tightly in their hearts, but it's not embarrassing to follow the Chen family to Beijing together, right? "He is a daughter-in-law, no matter what she thinks in her heart, she doesn't dare to say that her father-in-law and mother-in-law are not, so she can only desperately find that obvious reason.

"I think so too, it's mainly the in-laws and the wife, who are also going. The Li family took the Chen family's boat, and the Chen family was also half of the sister-in-law's mother's family, and it was understandable for them to go together, so it seemed unjustifiable to let their father and mother follow. Zeng Quan nodded.

"Xianggong is right, although we don't have as much money as the Chen family and the Li family, no matter what, we can't let our in-laws suffer this wrong. Otherwise, when they come back, we will pay for my father and mother to go once? He Shi was so smart that he hurriedly said.

"It's these words, go back and persuade my father and mother that there is no need to wade into this troubled water." Zeng Quan nodded, breathed a long sigh of relief, and sent his parents to the capital once, almost a hundred taels, but it's okay, they can still afford this money, and it is much safer than going with the Chen family and the Li family.

The two of them got it right, and they took their things home together. Old man Zeng still maintains the habit of farming, and he is uncomfortable when he doesn't go to the field every day, and now he has just finished the New Year, and the ground is still frozen, but he can make some preparations. When Zeng Quan and his family came back, they saw their grandfather, whose legs were covered with black mud, washing his legs with well water in the courtyard.

"Why don't you take hot water!" Zeng Quan glared at the daughter next to the old man.

"Wash it down and wash it, the well water is not cold." The old man gave his grandson a roll of his eyes, rubbed his legs against each other, and pulled the mud down, and the little girl was not stupid, only half a bucket of water was made at a time. The well water is actually warm in all seasons, but in terms of physical feeling, it is like warm in winter and cool in summer, and the little girl does this to ensure that the water that rushes to the old man's legs is warm.

The old man washed it up, soaked his feet in the same place, put on clean shoes and socks, and then entered the house.

"Why earlier today?" The old man also noticed that they had come back early.

"It's okay, there's less to do today." Zeng Quan smiled, and He Shi had already gone to the kitchen to see how the dinner was prepared, the main thing was that she also knew that Zeng Quan was going to talk to the old man, and she couldn't say it, just they talked to themselves, in case the old man supported Zeng Qing and his wife, it would be useless for them to think well.

"Something?" The old man is used to being the master of the house, and the grandson raises his eyes and knows that something is wrong, "Your eldest brother is writing a letter?" ”

"It's not time yet!" Zeng Fan writes letters very regularly, he will not come according to the date of their reply, but will write a letter when the time comes, telling him about his situation. By the way, I replied to the letter that I didn't reply to before.

"Also, if this is really going to write a letter, I'm afraid it's just a thing." The old man nodded, he was actually a little unhappy about his grandson's admission to the Jinshi but failed to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, saying that the round-trip fare was too expensive and the children were too young. By the way, I also told them not to publicize it in the township, which made the old man feel that the eldest grandson was afraid that he was disgusting the family. But he never said these words, and he still looked forward to the eldest grandson writing back. I also hope that Zeng Yi can really go to high school this time, so that there will be two Jinshi in the family.

"But today, Shopkeeper Li sent someone to spread the word that Master Chen was going to Beijing, saying that he had rented a big boat anyway, and asked if our family was interested, and followed him into Beijing to have a look." Zeng Quan entered the house with the old man, took the old man's cigarette pouch from the lower woman's hand with a smile, and handed it over with both hands. Use paper coals to light a fire for the old man.

"The ground is going to melt, and it's time to prepare the seedlings. Can you go through your shop and group exercises? "The old man didn't take it to heart, he couldn't have put down his land anyway and followed other people's ships into Beijing. However, he still felt a little regretful, thinking that if the autumn harvest was over and said that it would be good, at that time, he could really go and see them.

"Even if the shop and group practice can go away, there are still children, how can they just go?" Zeng Quan shook his head with a smile, thought about it and asked hesitantly, "Then does Daddy want to ask?" ”

"Forget it, don't make people laugh." The old man didn't think about this at all, and directly vetoed this matter.

Zeng Quan's heart was really relieved, the old man had these words, and it was much easier than them to persuade his parents.

"Daddy, Daddy!" However, Zeng Quan's heart didn't loosen for long before he heard his mother screaming and came in. It may have been a trot all the way, so the little old lady's hair was a little scattered.

"What are you doing?" Sure enough, the old man was annoyed and slapped the hookah on the table.
