163.

"Now there is no confidant, breaking the black pot and entering the mountain." These are the last two sentences, Dong Yanya silently recited it in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it. She is now a poor peasant girl, and it is impossible for her to understand this.

"Chengyu, what do you mean by these two sentences?" Zhao asked with a smile.

Tian Chengyu was originally moved, but when he was asked like this, he was a little embarrassed, and said stumblingly: "It's not interesting, that is, it's just that Yan Aya is good-looking." With that, he looked away, pretending to look at the scenery.

"It's different if you've read a book, and it's so special to praise people." Zhao laughed. Finding Tian Chengyu's reaction, she joked with Zhang's again, "Chengyu has never praised others for their good looks, and it seems that the day when you will be blessed is not far away." ”

In ancient times, the daughter-in-law who has been paying attention to it for many years has become a mother-in-law, just like the Zhao family, after having Ah Cai, many things do not need her to do it herself, in the eyes of everyone, that is, she is happy. So Zhao's words mean that Zhang's is about to have a daughter-in-law.

What she said was actually a joke, but the parties didn't have the slightest intention of listening to the joke.

Zhang began to look Dong Yanya up and down, thinking about the possibility of her being her daughter-in-law. Although the Meng family has always wanted Tian Chengyu to marry Meng Guoer, she is also willing, but Tian Chengyu has always disagreed, and she has no choice. Now, with Dong Yanya, her mind is alive again.

Dong Yanya and Tian Chengyu both felt that Zhao's joke was too embarrassing, but at the same time, both of them couldn't help but look at each other. At this moment, the eyes of the two happened to collide together.

In a hurry, both of them hurriedly withdrew their gaze, and their little faces were flushed.

The Zhao family can be regarded as the most comfortable person in the Tian family's life now, so the mentality is also good, seeing the two children like this, he laughed and pulled the Zhang family to the side to gossip.

As for what they said, it is unknown, only the laughter that comes from time to time proves that they are in a good mood.

The others also began to get busy, and only Dong Yanya and Tian Chengyu were left in the courtyard.

Feeling a little embarrassed, Tian Chengyu glanced at Dong Yanya, "I'm going to study." ”

"Hmm!" Dong Yanya lowered her eyes, and a sadness hit her heart again.

Tian Chengyu walked a few steps into the room, and when he turned around, he found her standing there alone, and couldn't help but say, "Do you want to study?" I can teach you to read. ”

Dong Yanya looked up at Tian Chengyu in some surprise.

"If you don't want to, forget it." Tian Chengyu seemed to be a little annoyed by what he had just said, and quickly said this, and then turned around and entered the room.

"I do." Dong Yanya seemed to remember something, and followed Tian Chengyu into the room.

In the scorching summer, in front of the open window, one is standing, the other is sitting, one is teaching seriously, the other is learning carefully, with the crisp sound of cicadas outside, it is extremely harmonious.

In the afternoon, Tian Lao Er came back with a gloomy face.

"How?" Jiang Wanbai asked him.

"I went to Linfu Village, found Yan Aya's father, and told them that Yan Aya and their children were with us. As a result, not only was they not happy, but they were very angry, and they said a lot of things that I didn't like to hear, which made me feel a little angry when I heard it. ”

Don't think about it, those words that don't like it must be scolding Dong Yanya and the baby girl, Jiang Wanbai didn't want to listen to those foul words, so she skipped this paragraph and didn't ask, but asked, "And then?" Did they say they were coming to pick up someone. ”

"Pick up someone?" Tian Lao Er snorted on the ground, "I've never seen a father and mother do this." Looking outside, he found that no one was there, so he lowered his voice and said, "I don't know where this surnamed Dong heard that our family is having a better life, and he actually accused our family."

said that there are so many men in our family, and there is a girl in their family, and they have been in our family for so long, and their reputation has long been ruined, so what's the use of taking it back.

They want ten taels of silver, and the smoke will be our family in the future. If he doesn't agree, they will go to the government and say that our family has kidnapped his daughter.

Ay! Nosy, no. Mother, what are you talking about? Tian Lao Er said dissatisfiedly.

For ten taels of silver, you can ignore your daughter, Jiang Wanbai really doesn't know how to evaluate this family.

"Mother, what now?"

"He made trouble in the county office, and we are not afraid of shadows, but we are not afraid. I'm afraid, pity Yan Aya and the baby girl. Jiang Wanbai groaned.

The daughter who has been raised for so many years can be sold as soon as she is sold, and a wicked person, she doesn't have to think about it, she knows her fate.

Tian Lao Er also thought of this problem, and couldn't help but have a headache. Yesterday's baby's death, he still can't let go, if he watches this baby girl die again, he really can't do it.

"He didn't ask for ten taels of silver, so give him ten taels of silver." Jiang Wanbai thought about it for a long time, and finally said her decision.

"Mother, how can this be, he made it clear that it was blackmail." Tian Lao Er was a little unconvinced.

Jiang Wanbai motioned for him to calm down, "These ten taels of silver are not for him, but for Yan Aya and the baby girl."

asked the surnamed Dong to write a note and received the ten taels of silver, and in the future, Yan Aya and the baby girl will have nothing to do with him. ”

Tian Lao Er understood Jiang Wanbai's hard work, but he still muttered dissatisfiedly: "It's still cheaper for him." ”

"Just do good deeds and accumulate virtue!" Jiang Wanbai half-closed her eyes and said this.

Tian Lao Er knew that she was still blaming herself for yesterday's incident, so she didn't say anything, took the silver, and went to Linfu Village again.

In the evening, Jiang Wanbai showed Dong Yanya's handwriting note to Dong Yanya, and kindly asked her what her plans were in the future.

Dong Yanya seemed to be a little shocked, but also a little surprised, sat for a long time, and suddenly knelt down and said: "Since my father sold me to you, then I am a member of the Tian family." From now on, I will do whatever you tell me to do.

I just begged, I just wanted to be able to give my sister a bite to eat. As she spoke, she hugged the baby in her arms tightly, and her small body kept trembling, as if she was afraid that Jiang Wanbai would not agree.

Jiang Wanbai had actually thought that this would be the result, but Dong Yanyan didn't cry or make trouble, which surprised him a little. But soon, she thought that the Dong family was like this, and Dong Yanya must have died to them a long time ago, so she accepted it so quickly.

With this plausible explanation, she skipped the question and voiced her decision.

"You're still young, and you have a sister to take care of, so there's not much for you to do. It's not too late to talk about these things when you grow up.

As for this deed of sale, you don't have to worry about it. ”

"I can do anything." Dong Yanya said urgently.

Jiang Wanbai also understood that Dong Yanyan wanted to do something to prove her idea, and finally promised her that she could help the Tian family do what she could, so she smiled.

In this way, the permanent population of the Tian family is two more.

In the past two days, Jiang Wanbai has been thinking about another thing, that is, to visit Mrs. Zeng's house. Courtesies are still exchanged, and since the Zeng family treats their family as if they were in-laws, she naturally has to reciprocate. What's more, she had already agreed to this matter a long time ago.

However, it is the first time to come to the door, and it is definitely not possible to go so empty-handed. But if you take some mundane things such as eggs and fish, Jiang Wanbai can't handle it.

Thinking about it, she thought of the clams she had gotten earlier. The Zeng family is a scholarly family, and they will definitely like this. However, you don't need to take the whole clams, just carve the small piece that I bought from the skinny monkey before, and it should be fine.

With this idea, Jiang Wanbai began to ask Tian Lao Er to ask, where is there a good jade carving master in this Yancheng.

This stumped Tian Laoer. Yancheng said that it was not big, and it was not small, but there were really few masters who carved jade, let alone carved well.

I searched for several days, but I found nothing.

"What is a clams?" Dong Yanya looked at Tian Laoer's back, and asked Tian Chengyu as if unintentionally.

Tian Chengyu naturally told her everything he knew.

"It's so amazing to have a clams." Dong Yanya was amazed for a moment, and then said, "It would be nice if I had a chance to meet it." ”

"What's so hard about that. Let's go, I'll take you to tell my grandma, and she'll agree. Tian Chengyu said, he really wanted to pull Dong Yanya out.

Now, it was Dong Yanya's turn to be surprised. She didn't expect that such a precious thing as a clams would be so easy to see in Tian Chengyu's mouth, or in the Tian family.

Is it because they don't value it too much, or do they believe in themselves too much? Thinking of the latter, Dong Yanya's heart shrank, and her face also carried endless sorrow.

In the end, the two of them still didn't see the clams. Because, Jiang Wanbai suddenly heard that Dr. Nie was a master of jade carving, so she took the piece of clams to visit him.

Dr. Nie did not live in Zeng's Mansion, but lived alone in a small courtyard not far from Zeng's Mansion. The small courtyard is full of all kinds of herbs, and all kinds of medicinal fragrances are mixed together, making people feel refreshed as soon as they enter the door.

"I haven't had time to thank you for what happened last time, and I'm going to trouble you again this time." Jiang Wanbai said embarrassedly.

Doctor Nie didn't care at all, "It's just a gesture." This time, is anyone sick? ”

"It's not sick, it's this." As she spoke, Jiang Wanbai took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and opened it, revealing what was inside.

At first, Doctor Nie didn't care, just glanced at it casually. But this time, he couldn't take his eyes off it anymore.

"This is, this is ......" He was surprised and delighted, and for a moment it was a little difficult to determine.

Jiang Wanbai nodded, "This is indeed a piece of clams." ”

"It really is." Doctor Nie gasped, "I have long heard that your family has clams, but I have never had the opportunity to see each other, and today, I got what I wanted."

Can I take a look at it? ”

Jiang Wanbai handed the clams in her hand to Dr. Nie, "I came this time because I heard that Dr. Nie is not only a master of the apricot forest, but also good at jade. Although this clams are not as beautiful as jade, they also have their wonders. So, I would like to ask Dr. Nie to help me polish it out.

I just don't know ......."

"Okay." Before Jiang Wanbai could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Doctor Nie. Realizing that he was a little rude, Doctor Nie smiled embarrassedly, "As soon as I see this clams, I feel a little itchy and unbearable." ”
