Chapter 51: Gratification
When Liu Yongan gave Qiao Chaoyang a feather fan with double happiness, he had already taken into account that Qiao Chaoyang was studying at Luming Academy at this time, and this gift must have been received by the Liu family. His purpose was also to see how Liu would deal with this matter.
Hearing that Liu smashed the teacup, the corners of his mouth curled!
Let you pretend! I know it's distressing!
He had already inquired, although the fifth aunt's house had already moved to Fucheng to live, but they had not lived very well before, and they were able to gain a foothold in Fucheng, but they borrowed the Qiao family's momentum. I also knew that this fifth aunt was not as valued in Qiao's family as she appeared, and it wasn't until Qiao Chaoyang won the show that her life was much better. She doesn't have much money in her hand, and she doesn't know how long it will take to save a hundred taels of silver, so she takes it out to buy peach plums in order to save face, but she doesn't want to hate their family later?
"Why did you go to the yard and turn back?" Are you a roundworm in the stomach of the master?
"After listening to the small offer, Mrs. Gu's face was not very good, and before the little one had time to take out the fan, Mrs. Gu 'sent off'. The little one kept thinking that the young master's explanation had not been completed, so he went in again. It's not that the little one didn't want to take it out earlier, but it was that Mrs. Gu didn't give the little one this opportunity. Double Happiness said.
Alas, I thought this errand would be easy, but I didn't expect the door of the prefect's house to be really difficult to enter!
"You have done a good job in this matter, and when I show Master Ming, you can follow me to practice martial arts." Liu Yongan said.
Double Happiness responded excitedly.
Liu Yongan turned around and went to see the Zhang family, told him what happened in Qiao's family, and said at the end: "I guess this aunt is only afraid that she will make a fuss before she stops." β
Zhang said with a smile: "Read your books well, practice your martial arts, our family is not looking for trouble, but we will not be afraid of things, it is useless to make trouble with her." After speaking, he commanded: "Don't tell your sister about this, the little girl's family should grow up carefree." β
"Yes, there is still a father and a mother in everything! But wasn't it in front of my father and mother last time, and my aunt and two cousins laughed at my sister as a 'wild girl'? Liu Yongan said.
Zhang slapped him in the ass, "Okay, you! Dare to talk back to Lao Tzu! Your father and your mother didn't move, didn't he just want you to show your brother's spirit in front of your sister? You're to blame me for this! β
It turns out that the same can be said!
Liu Yongan was thick-skinned, and he was not afraid of being beaten, so he took a firm beating before he said: "Then leave this matter to me, I promise to satisfy you." β
The older he gets, the more obvious the coldness in Yan SΓΉ's eyes becomes, and even Zhang is a little moved when he sees it.
"There is a little requirement, you can only use your mouth, not your hands!" She confessed.
"Okay. If my fifth aunt hits my sister's idea of storing the secret recipe for peaches, how about my mother leave it to me? He asked, "Even if someone else comes to ask for this, you can give it to me, okay?" β
"You shouldn't be guarding against your uncle, are you?" Zhang asked.
"How can it? I lived in my grandfather's house for several years, and my uncles were very nice to me. I'm not growing up and want to share some mundane chores with you. He frowned, "But don't you think what my aunt and cousin are doing is smearing my grandfather's face?" β
Look at how righteous this is! It seems that the last time he knitted a garland made Sister Jing'er have skin allergies, and he didn't talk to his family for a year after being beaten, it was yesterday.
Before you know it, your son has grown up!
Zhang's eyes were sour, but more relieved, and in a blink of an eye, she laughed out loud again, "You kid, talking to your mother, what are you doing so nervous?" β
Liu Yongan's face was stern, "My mother said and laughed, how can my son be nervous?" β
Zhang smiled more and more heartily, pointed at him and said, "You're not nervous, why are you clenching your fists so tightly?" Every time you get nervous, it's like this, you're born to me, I don't know you yet. β
Liu Yongan immediately let go of his hand and said, "Then does the mother agree or not?" β
"Okay, be careful of your skin!"
Although Zhang said this, he thought that Liu Meihe was also the daughter-in-law of the prefect's family, so he should not do anything to ask for things from relatives.
Unexpectedly, she really looked up to the Liu family too much this time.
The graceful Liu family, on the day before the Zhongyuan Festival, returned to Liu Zhangwan in the name of worshipping ancestors, and on this day, brought a large group of people to Wang Jing's house.
"Fourth sister-in-law, where are the peaches that your family sold me for one tael of silver? Can you take me to see what to see? Liu said.
She was smiling, but her face was full of disdain.
Before Zhang could speak, someone who wanted to hug the prefect's thigh jumped out, "Niece and daughter-in-law, didn't your family just dig up a lot of gold, why are you still drilling camps like this, no matter what his fifth aunt says, he is not an outsider, but his brother has brought a basket of peaches to your family every year." You've only been growing peaches for a few days, and you've done your business to your relatives. When the time comes, people won't laugh at us, and our Liu family only recognizes stinky copper and doesn't recognize people? β
It was Liu Chengfang's distant cousin who spoke, Xingjiu, who was a well-known household with difficulty in delivering grain when Liu Chengfang was doing Lizheng, and every time he collected grain, Liu Chengfang took Yonglu and them to the granary to weigh it. If Liu Zhangwan hates Liu Chengfang the most, it must be him, the ninth uncle.
This old man was coaxed by Liu's box of pastries yesterday, and promised to stand up for her today no matter what.
Liu Yongan said: "The words of the ninth grandfather are wrong. Mrs. Wugu has already married, and the water spilled by the married daughter is for our Liu family, she has been an outsider since the day she got married. Qiao's cousin sent peaches to my sister in the summer, and peaches can be seen everywhere; My sister's return gift is winter, it can be said that no one in the whole Zhou can take out peaches except for my family, you are here, which winter has not eaten my peaches? Whether I have asked you for money or not, you know best. In fact, even if it is the Qiao family, we are also going to send it for free, and it is Mrs. Wugu who has specially sent a silver ticket to her. Buying and selling this kind of thing, I sell her to buy, what does it have to do with the ninth grandfather? If you really want to take care of things, don't talk about it, you have to take care of Mrs. Wugu first! β
Liu was stunned, could it be that this kid wanted to threaten her with the Wangcai family's inquiry about the secret recipe?
Although the other party has no handle in her hand, she is the daughter-in-law of the prefect's family after all, don't tell outsiders jokes when this matter gets out, just the sister-in-law will laugh and lose her teeth.
"What's wrong with me? I don't dare to do such a deceitful thing, a broken peach dares to sell for a tael of silver! Why don't you go and rob the bank? "Liu's preemptive strike, how can this be said with the slightest affection of relatives.
The Ninth Uncle Ancestor also followed behind to add oil and vinegar, "That's it, how can peaches be so expensive!" β
Liu Yongan said with a smile: "If you can't afford it, I'll return the silver to you, why bother saying so much, as for whether the peaches can be sold or not, that's my own business." After speaking, he said to the old man: "Ninth Uncle Ancestor, you really have to think about our Liu family, you can't let the fifth aunt enter our Liu family ancestral hall at this time!" People say that when the girl who marries goes back to her parents' house to worship her ancestors, she will take away the luck left by her ancestors to her children and grandchildren, and the ninth uncle will not know it, right? If Mrs. Wugu does this, will others laugh at the fact that there is no one in the Liu family? β
The ninth uncle has the highest ancestor, and he doesn't want to farm, so he usually survives by guarding the ancestral hall, but when Liu Yongan asked him like this, his old face was as red as a pig's liver.
"I'm old! I can't take care of your young people's affairs! After saying that, he walked away.
