Chapter 290 The heart is black
On the small school field, the thirty elite samurai selected by thousands of people ran wildly with stone locks on their backs, talking about tears, Mo Jiaotou was too cruel, she said that there was no food to eat if she couldn't run sixty laps before noon, and there was no lunch or dinner, which was tantamount to torture for the samurai who had a huge physical exertion.

On the edge of the school field, in the old place, there is a big umbrella cover, two chairs and a small table, and the two heads of the school drink tea and chat freely.
Zhang Xin frequently looked sideways at Li Niang, and she couldn't help asking, "What's wrong!" ”
"I always feel like you're a little different today." Zhang Xin said.
This guy is really sensitive enough, Li Niang smiled, "I had an occasional gain when I practiced last night, and now my skills have increased greatly, of course it is different from yesterday." ”
Zhang Xin sighed, lowered his head and thought hard, feeling that he had to work harder, how could he be a big man if he didn't exceed her.
In the afternoon, Zhang Xin disappeared, and Zheng Tongda told Li Niang: "General Zhang cultivates in the room and swears to advance and retreat with the samurai." ”
Zhang Xin's participation is not necessary, he is just a strong substitute, and he is really not as good as him, even Li Niang, the head of the head coach, has also received such a notice, so it is too normal to practice or something, and she does not doubt Zhang Xin's purpose at all.
Zhang Xin, Wang Zhi, and Zheng Tongda followed up the training of the samurai regiment throughout the whole process, they ate and lived in the small school field, and they were not allowed to go out after the training at night.
As a woman, Li Niang gets a little preferential treatment, she comes in the morning, disperses normally in the afternoon, and commutes to work like her brother, the sad thing is that she has no money, so far she has not heard a little benefit.
When she arrived home and found Ziyang with a sad face, Li Niang said that she had expected it a long time ago, but she didn't expect Ziyang to come so quickly.
After dinner, the four cousins came to the study to discuss Ziyang's affairs.
Ziyang said: "My father didn't want to take the exam, he went out of the way, he wanted to participate in the election of officials, and now he is raising money everywhere, I see enough, he wants to sell the field." ”
Qingyuan sighed twice, "After selling the field, you won't be able to harvest grain in the coming year, what will you eat?" ”
Ziyang shook his head, "My father said it well, when he chooses an official, at least a county official, he will take the whole family to enjoy the blessings, it doesn't matter if you don't want this field, you will buy it when you get to the government." ”
"Is the son willing to return?" Li Niang asked.
Ziyang shook his head again, "My brother secretly told me that he didn't want to start a career anymore and wanted to participate in the election of officials, but my father didn't agree, and the family's money was not enough to spend alone." ”
Shubai said: "They asked you to borrow money?" ”
"They want to come, but they can't save face." Ziyang sneered, "If you don't borrow enough outside, I think my father will still come to my cousin." ”
Shubai knocked on the table, "Ziyang, if Uncle Niu makes a rumor and is ready to marry Duo'er a hundred taels, you say, will your father be tempted?" ”
Ziyang's eyes widened suddenly, and Qingyuan also applauded, "It turns out that the opportunity that my brother said before is here." ”
But Ziyang soon wilted again, he thought that although the Li family had become rich in recent years, it was impossible to give Li Duoer a hundred taels of dowry, and she still had three brothers to marry a daughter-in-law, buy a house and land for a dowry, and everything was money.
The most important point is that everyone is willing to pay a hundred taels of dowry, so can the dowry be less than this amount? Tell him to get a dowry of a hundred taels.
Shubai had already prepared, he told Ziyang with certainty that the Li family was really willing to pay a hundred taels of dowry, and this dowry, he could lend it to Ziyang, and he would pay it back when he had money in the future, but this matter still needs to be discussed with the Li family, this dowry can't go the way clearly, and it has to be quietly given to the Li family, after all, if you take it out now, you will definitely be robbed by Ziyang's father to buy an official.
Money is not a problem, the conditions of the Li family are more difficult to handle, they want Ziyang to split up the family, and the speed has to be fast, and it must be done within a month after getting married, otherwise they don't mind taking Duo'er back to raise her until she is old.
Ziyang touched his chin, he had known the Li family's request for a long time, and he also had an idea in his heart, now that his father is bent on becoming an official, he will also reduce his father's burden, and then he will not want anything but the house, and he should be able to do it.
"Cousin, when I don't have a field, I'm afraid Duo'er and I can only go to Mojiazhuang to work and get paid."
"That's no problem, if I don't invite you, I will also invite others, of course, take care of my own family first, but Ziyang, don't you think it's too wasteful for you to do a small job? Let Duo'er go to work, wouldn't it be better for you to open a private school at home? There is no private school in Xiaowan Village now, and many children are looking forward to going to school. ”
The brothers and sisters had a heated discussion, Ziyang was full of confidence, and the next day he borrowed two hundred taels from Lin Cuiping and went home, of which one hundred taels were taken to send his father to borrow from the big house, and one hundred taels were kept for himself to get married and start a family.
Seeing Ziyang leave happily, Li Niang said to her brother: "Why do I always have a bad premonition, and I always feel that things are going too smoothly for my second uncle?" ”
Shubai also showed worry, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't find a flaw, "Let's wait and see, there is no good way." ”
The next day, Ziyang asked Ding Mancang to bring a letter, his marriage with Li Duoer had been decided, his father was in a hurry to get the dowry of the family, and the marriage was set for October 29, and the family was separated immediately after the visit.
October 29, which was also the day when the Nanzhao delegation entered the capital, Shubai and Li Niang received the news, and they couldn't help but secretly say a coincidence in their hearts.
As soon as the mission arrived, it was impossible for the two countries to start a fight immediately, so as soon as Li Niang asked for leave from the governor of Xudu, the governor of Xudu immediately gave approval, and only told her to go back quickly, and not to stay in the countryside for too long, so as to be in order.
Shubai's agricultural extension work is not in a hurry, he also successfully got family leave, Qingyuan is simpler, say hello to Lin Zhaoxian and come back, and he is not in a hurry to take the Xiucai exam, it doesn't matter if he rests for a few more days.
On October 28, the whole family went back to Xiaowan Village to participate in Ziyang's wedding, Lin Cuiping not only prepared twenty taels of gifts, but also wrapped four pieces of Songjiang cloth, the bright color is suitable for young people to wear, think carefully, Li Niang gave a thumbs up, this trick to learn.
The two carriages were full of people, and even the red dates, which had always been strong, felt tired, and after breakfast, they set off, and walked to Xiaowan Village at noon, and the daughter-in-law of Mancang and the female workers of the workshop had already prepared the meal, which was also convenient.
Shubai and Qingyuan went to the village to meet the old man and took Jing Yuan away, and Lin Cuiping and Li Niang pulled Mancang's daughter-in-law to inquire about the preparations for the wedding.
The news is not optimistic, the second uncle has really done a desperate job, twenty acres of land has been sold, it is Shubai asked Ding Mancang to buy it, two percent higher than the market price, the villagers are scolding Mo Lao Er's heart behind his back, after pit his nephew and son, the house is priced at two hundred taels and divided into five parts, Ziyang wants to get four shares, that is, it takes one hundred and sixty taels to buy and live, and when Li Niang and her father started the house, they only spent a total of eighty taels.
