Chapter 126: Whose Flesh Is Cut?
The third more
After dinner in the evening, the hall was cleaned up, and I already knew that tea would be served. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Ping put the account book and abacus, and everyone checked the accounts together. In the afternoon, she didn't take a nap, cleared the account book, and formed a few sets of numbers. Waiting for Xiaoliu's to take the kitchen account he had newly built today, he followed Li Ping for a while, Li Ping wrote down the number and nodded.
"The second brother and sister took out a list of relatives to come and go, but, Ah Quan, you didn't leave the bills of your relatives' previous transactions, and the New Year's gift is not easy to take care of." Li Ping said by the way, Zeng Quan, they are going to prepare for the New Year's ceremony, but there is no list of relatives to communicate, and it is troublesome to prepare the New Year's gift.
"What's so troublesome, just take what you see." Ouyang felt that the eldest daughter-in-law was really making a big fuss, and she went to relatives during the New Year, and she also used to write a list.
"Originally, I didn't use it, but now the stall at home is so big. In the exchanges, you can't just send boxes of snacks and carry some dry goods as before, right? Li Ping also felt depressed.
Like after her mother's family moved back to the countryside, she still maintained the rules of the early years, and on weekdays, a lower daughter in the family helped to work, and during the New Year, relatives came to help. Even if the Li family goes out to pay New Year's greetings, they all carry some small toys, dry goods from their own home, and a few bottles of good wine bought in the city. Everyone also knows what kind of character Li Xiucai is, and they don't fight for him.
It's never like the Zeng family invited so many people back at once, you went up to the show, what do those relatives think? It's really going to send a Jinshan family, and there are too few people.
"You also think too much, just go on weekdays." Old Man Zeng snorted.
"Okay!" Li Ping nodded, this is what the old man said, not what she said, she made a note, stared at the account book, and said the key point she wanted to say, "Also, there are a few more in the account book that have gift lists, what are these few for, why do you send so much?" ”
"It's all ......" Zeng Qing wanted to say something, but the old man cleared his throat, and he immediately stopped talking.
"That's not an annual gift, so you don't need to worry about it." Old Man Zeng said sternly.
"Even though it's not a New Year's gift, but when people give gifts, our family accepts them. When it comes to the Chinese New Year, you should add two points and return it. This is the etiquette of being a human being! There are things in the account, and if you want to add them, I will add them with the second child, so you don't have to worry. Li Ping smiled, even if this matter was over, she was ready to say the next thing.
"Sister-in-law, it was raised by someone else's eldest brother." Zeng Quan finally spoke, if he didn't speak, he couldn't do it, these gifts were quite thick, and he felt unbearable for them to share the two rooms.
"Your eldest brother is in the middle, and the family invites the clansmen to be considered a joy for everyone; The county magistrate stayed in the place, and when he ordered the head of the Xianggong's case, he finally had the grace of knowing the Xianggong, and it was reasonable to give a reward according to the routine. What's going on with the others? Li Ping stared at Ah Quan. Zeng Quan never said these things in the letter, and she would never take this responsibility.
"This year, there is one person in our county, this is the glory of the county, these people come to ......," Ouyang said proudly.
"Alas! Ah Quan, I really don't want to punish you every day, forget it, think about what is wrong with it?! Li Ping held her forehead and shook her head, "I'll pack up my things when I go back, and I'll add two points to return it when I turn back." ”
"Sister-in-law, this is customary, you don't have to be too nervous. We wouldn't have really had anything to do with them. Ah Quan also felt that Li Ping was making a fuss, and he looked disapproving.
"Why do you think these people are giving gifts?" Li Ping withdrew her smile and looked at Zeng Quan coldly.
Zeng Quan took a breath, but he didn't know how to answer.
"If I say now that I didn't accept these gifts, and the minister doesn't take the test, and these people can't find us if they have something, you say, can it be done?" Li Ping sneered and waved his hand again, "Of course you can't say that, Xianggong is the eldest son, no matter what, he can't ignore this family." ”
"What do you mean by not taking the test, he still has to take the test after he is raised." The old man was furious.
"Now you ask him to take the test, and he won't take the test." Li Ping smiled lightly, she faced the old man, she couldn't fight to death, it was meaningless, seeing that the old man was about to get angry again, she held him down and looked back at Zeng Quan.
"For example, after a few years, the third child was lifted, and then these people came to give things again, received two gifts, and met on the street, do you want to say hello? I said hello, and people came home and said that the children at home had birthdays, do you want to go? went, and then turned back, the third child was a jinshi, the county changed the principal, and the Zeng family was also a gentry. turned around and said Second Master Zeng, you are a showman, you come to invigilate. This is the right thing, you have to go, and then you see the son of that family, play some little actions, and you say you don't care. Anyway, you missed the future of your child's life, no matter what, you are also born in hard work, are you worthy of other hard study children? You will not care about your temperament, you are more ruthless than your eldest brother. Turn your head, do people want to thank you? Nothing else, I have money, if you don't want money, I'll give you some shares? Our brotherhood, you don't have to be polite to me. Then, you give them a handle. Looking back, that person has committed something, can you ignore it? The county doesn't listen to you, do you want to write a letter to the third child and let the third child take care of it? The old emperor is three days away, where do you know what is going on here, it's not what you say. turned around and inexplicably carried a black pot. What do you tell the third child when you go back to the imperial history? Accepting bribes and not governing the family strictly. A little better, reprimanded. Bad luck, lost his official position, and his family's hard work for more than ten years was all in vain. You say, the third child blames you, or should you blame the third child? ”
Li Ping did not compare Zeng Fan at all, but took Zeng Yi to once again show his determination not to go out for the exam. At this time, the third Zeng Yi was brought out, and the third child was also asked to think clearly, these things really had nothing to do with him. As long as it's a matter of the surname Zeng, it's everyone's business, and there is no way to say that you can escape.
"What does he blame me for doing things?" Zeng Yi jumped up, and sure enough, the knife didn't cut his own flesh, so he didn't feel pain.
"I complain that you shouldn't be promoted, you shouldn't be a jinshi, and you shouldn't be an official! If you are nothing, how can these people come to give gifts, and if people don't come to give gifts, how can your second brother fall into this situation? Li Ping looked at him with a smile, she didn't say a word of lie, aren't they all ready to do this to Zeng Fan now? While forcing him to take the exam, he didn't take him to heart at all.
Zeng Yi wanted to swear, but she really couldn't say that Li Ping was wrong. I could only turn my head sideways and say to the Xiaoliu family, "Tomorrow you help your sister-in-law pack up her things and write down the names of those bastards." ”
Xiaoyanagi is busy, she is not stupid, her husband is not an official for these people, the family collects things, and her husband is unlucky when she looks back, then they are wronged.
