Chapter 025: Pooling Money 3
025 Pooling 3
Old Man Luo knew that the Qin family only had eight taels of silver, but it seemed that it was impossible for the old wife to take out more: "Alas...... Tomorrow I will go to the village chief's house to borrow five taels of silver, and there is still a gap of twenty-seven taels. Now that the grain has not yet been sold, there is still a month before the grain is collected, and in addition to the tax grain paid and the food rations, the rest can be sold, and you can get seven or eight taels of silver, that is, can you find someone to advance the grain money first. You brothers have to figure out how to make it up and see if you can make it up. ”
"Dad, what kind of silver is there at home, but the silver is all in my mother's place." Luo Youfu looked at his father and replied, but his eyes swept to his eldest brother: "Big brother and sister-in-law, shouldn't the eldest brother and sister-in-law give the rest of the silver taels in this literary name exam?" Luo Youfu said this, but what he thought in his heart was that he didn't believe that he needed fifty taels of silver to buy a prediction question, who is the big brother's set. It's the tiger father and the second brother. This is either the source of this test question or the big brother falsely reported the silver two.
"Third brother, we haven't split up yet, this literary name exam is our Luo family exam, not to mention that your eldest brother and I don't have any money. It's just that your sister-in-law's dowry has been spent for most of the past few years, and the rest is barely scraping together two taels of silver, and nothing else can be taken out. The rest of the people who sold grain were about eighteen taels and relied on the second brother, the second brother-in-law, the third brother and the third brother-in-law. ”
"Big brother, what do you mean by that? Is it for us to be a dowry? Co-authored the name exam, your father and mother will come out of two or two, let us be the head of our uncles and aunts. ”
"When our silver is blown out by a strong wind, and we say that there is something?"
"Do the math, since Wenming went to school, how much money did it cost the family? In which year, the grain was paid for taxes, and most of them were not exchanged for silver to go to school. Everyone is wearing a belt to support the name. Look at these nephews and nieces, but they are all hungry thieves and thin thieves. Liu said, and pushed Luo Wencai and Luo Wenjun for everyone to see. This Liu's eloquence is amazing! Speaking is like setting off a cannon, without pause, one by one. It really tells the truth and the voice of the general public. It's just that although these two people are not fat, they are not thin. Look at his eldest brother Luo Wenxuan and younger brother Luo Wensheng, this is called a thief and a thief, a poor child.
At this time, it was not only Luo Ran who was touched, but also Luo Youli and Zheng. Seeing the thief and thief Luo Wencai and Luo Wenjun mentioned by Liu, and then looking at their own three little radish heads, these parents are all sour in their hearts.
"Wen Ming, it's not that you're an aunt, you spent so much money in the family to go to school, and let your younger brothers and sisters suffer and suffer, you are immoral. I've heard that all of these officials need to respect the old and love the young. If you can't do this, then no matter how big the official is, you'll have to. ”
Luo Ran has already given Liu 10086+1 likes at this time, which is really amazing!
Luo Youxiao knew that the third Luo Youfu and Liu were uneasy, and this matter had to be done by the second brothers Luo Youli and Zheng. Especially the Zheng family, Zheng's maiden brother is not a poor person in the village. Now as long as the second brother and the second brother and sister-in-law can take out more than half, the third brother will have nothing to say at that time, and he will have to get some blood. Then he turned to Luo Youli and asked, "Second brother, second brother and daughter-in-law, your nephew is waiting for the exam." ”
"Ah-big, big brother, it's not that you don't know, I don't have a penny, and all the money in my hand is handed over to my mother." Luo Youli was thinking about his child's "thief and thief thin", and he didn't reflect it for a while.
"Second brother, if you don't have it, it doesn't mean that your brother-in-law doesn't. Second brother and daughter-in-law, you have pity on your eldest nephew. ”
Hearing this, Luo Ran's gaze shifted from his own brother who was "thin and thin" to Luo Wenming, who was dressed as a slender scholar, and without waiting for Zheng's answer, he said: "Uncle, you see that my brother and my brother Wensheng are compared to Wensheng, who needs to be pitiful." ”
"Ran'er, you can't say that. Wen Xuan, Ran'er, if your famous brother can be an official, it will also be good for you, isn't it? Luo Youxiao said again: "Second brother, second brother and daughter-in-law, the literary name is out, my own brother, how can I pull the literary name." When the time comes, Wen Xuan will not have a good future with the name of the text, even Ran Er, who can also say that she is a good mother-in-law, and she will have a future and wealth. ”
This Luo Youxiao is really treacherous and cunning, Luo Wenming is still early from becoming an official, not to mention that even if he becomes a brother, with the style of the uncle's family, he can remember the friendship before this to his own brother. No, if you don't become an official, you will be bullied like this, if you become an official, you will still have it, and you will not become a slave maid of your uncle's family. I hope my father and mother will give me some strength and don't blindly agree.
"I don't want a few children to be rich, I just want to keep warm and live a worry-free life. Big brother and sister-in-law, it's not that we don't take it, it's that we really don't have money, if we have money, my babies can be hungry like this. Zheng said helplessly.
"Brother-in-law, let's see if we can borrow a few from the Zheng brothers. Wen name, come here, you remember your third aunt, whether you can be productive depends on your third aunt. ”
This is really "invincible", people want faces, trees want bark. If a tree does not have bark, it will surely die, and if a man does not need bark, he will be invincible in the world. This level is really "absolute". Luo Ran couldn't think of a good countermeasure for a while, and he was anxious, afraid that the uncle's family would succeed.
"Big brother, this, my mother's brother doesn't have any spare money, where did he get so much money. I didn't pay back the five taels of silver I borrowed last time, how did I open my mouth this time. ”
"Brother-in-law, how can the Zheng family brothers let you pay back the five taels of silver last time. This time your nephew is pointing at you. Luo Youxiao said as he pulled Luo Wen's name. This Luo Youxiao's words made Luo Ran, a modern person, so angry that he wanted to grind his teeth.
"Second aunt, you are the kindest person, you must not look at me and fail the test."
Looking at Luo Wenming, Zheng didn't know how to answer, and was a little at a loss for a while. Rowan is blatantly changing the concept. If you can't buy "test questions", you can still take the test. Luo Ran pulled Zheng's sleeve, hoping that Zheng would not agree.
"This, this, I'll go back to my parents' house and ask." Zheng looked at the eldest nephew standing in front of him, slender and polite, and had a good scholarly atmosphere, but he couldn't bear to refuse directly.
The situation is stronger than people, and at this moment Luo Ran realized how involuntary he was.
"The third brother, the third brother and daughter-in-law, and the second brother and daughter-in-law have already agreed, the 10 taels of silver must be there, and the rest ......"
Hearing Luo Youxiao say this, seeing that Zheng wanted to explain but didn't know how to say it, he immediately said: "Uncle, my mother just said to ask my uncle, but she didn't say that she could borrow it, don't misunderstand." It's better not to get hopeful, lest you be disappointed and blame my mother. Grandpa, don't you say? "It seems that the Luo family still regards Old Man Luo as the head of the family, and in some aspects, tries to maintain face, and wants to be impartial, fair and just on the surface.
"That's right." Luo Zhu could only nod.
Getting Luo Zhu's nod, Luo Ran was a little relieved. This is the only way to do now, and then we will discuss the rest of the matter.
