The sound of crackling came one after another.

Syllable! The sound of a vase shattering! Boom! The sound of inkstone smashing against the wall! Bang! The sound of bookshelves tipping over! The little guy who was guarding outside the house jumped on his shoulder, and his heart was uneasy, but he didn't dare to go in to persuade him, so he could only look at the other guy.

Suddenly, Mrs. Xie arrived.

As if they had been granted amnesty, the two little servants shouted one after another: "Madam." "If you don't stop it, Xiaolang will smash everything in the house!

Mrs. Xie frowned, but she didn't enter the house, her steps stopped slightly, and she only said, "Shaohuai, my mother will persuade your father." With that, Mrs. Xie hurried to the hall in a hurry. Xie Xianling, the head of the Xie family, was leisurely teasing the birds, and the starlings in the cage were screaming, making Xie Xianling smile.

When Mrs. Xie saw it, she was annoyed.

"My son is about to lift the house, and you are still in the mood to tease the birds."

Xie Xian ordered: "It's just a concubine, if you retreat, you will retreat, and Shaohuai still dares to make a fuss?" ”

Mrs. Xie felt sorry for her son in the end, and said: "Master, you don't know that our Xiaolang is a girl who likes the Yin family, and she has been clamoring to marry her for five years. Now that his son has rarely taken a step back, he is willing to marry back and be a concubine, which can be regarded as satisfying his thoughts. Master, you also know that the more you can't get it, the more you want it, if you don't let your son marry Yin, he will remember it in his heart for the rest of his life. Besides, it's not that our Xie family can't afford to raise a concubine, why did you quit this marriage? It would be bad if there was a gap between your father and son because of this. ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Xie couldn't help but curse Ah Yin in her heart.

Disaster in disguise!

Mrs. Xie said again: "You also agreed before, why did you just come back from Suizhou last night and let people go to the Yin family this morning to withdraw from their relatives?" ”

Xie Xianling said: "A few days ago, Li Taishou had his father's 60th birthday banquet, and I took a lot of effort to get the invitation. Although there is a marriage between Shaohuai and the Luo family, all eggs cannot be put in one basket. Li Taishou's political performance is quite good, and he is afraid that he will be promoted after the New Year, and when the position of Suizhou Taishou is vacant, someone must fill it. Xie Xianling sighed: "Fortunately, I got the invitation, and this birthday banquet is worth it!" ”

Mrs. Xie was slightly stunned and asked, "What does this mean, master?" ”

Xie Xian Ling said again: "Mrs. Li gave me a few words after the banquet was dispersed. You have always been a woman, and you are not as thoughtful as Li Taishou. The eldest man of the Luo family is favored by the king, and he loves his sister very much on weekdays, and his wife has not married back, and our family has brought the concubine back, what do you think of the Luo family? Shaohuai is obsessed with women, his ears are soft, he marries back and drowns in the gentle countryside every day, how will he become a big thing in the future? You, you are short-sighted, you can see what is near, but you can't see what is far. The Yin family's calamity can't harm our Xie family. As for her brother's affairs, let me make amends. As if thinking of something, Xie Xianling sneered: "Yin Xiu's bra has no ink, and he doesn't want to think about what kind of place Shouquan Academy is, his little boy will only be ashamed of himself if he goes in, and he will definitely retire in less than a month." ”

When Mrs. Xie heard this, she knew that her husband had made the right idea, so she thought about how to comfort her son, and echoed in her mouth: "The master is very right, what pot with what lid." ”

Xie Xianling said again: "It's a pity this time, I didn't know that Li Taishou's father loved nuclear carving." At the birthday banquet, I couldn't put down a five-blessing and hehe-nuclear carving, and I heard that Li Taishou had worked hard to invite some Yuan Gong to carve it. Luo Yuan was also treated differently by the prime minister because of the nuclear carving, and he knew that he should have raised a few craftsmen in the mansion back then. ”

Thinking of the Wufu and Hehe nuclear carvings played by Li Taishou's father at the birthday banquet, Xie Xianling was itchy, although he couldn't see clearly, but on the small peach pit, the five bats were carved lifelike, scattered and distributed, and he felt exquisite when he looked at it.

Although the Xie family only needed to return half of the bride price, Yin Xiuwen's face was still blue and white.

The servants of the Xie family were carrying the bride price, and the cage was carried out, and Yin Xiuwen's heart was dripping blood. And Manager Xie stood at the door, counting the bride price with an expressionless face. Yin Xiuwen dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, but he felt that the Xie family was too deceitful.

He asked Mr. Xie why he quit his family, and Mr. Xie only said that the girl of the Yin family was of good character and was really wronged to be a concubine.

That being said, the Qin family knew that the Xie family was going to marry soon, and the woman's family was the third girl of the Luo family. The implication of Mr. Xie's words is nothing more than that even the concubines don't look down on their Yin family.

However, there were thousands of angry hearts in their hearts, and neither Yin Xiuwen nor the Qin clan dared to express themselves.

Leaving half of the bride price is enough to save face, and if they want to take all the bride price, their Yin family can't afford to pay it. As soon as the bride price arrived, under the command of Yin Xiuwen, the Qin family had already bought new clothes for the whole family, purchased new things, and added new bookcases and four treasures of the study to Brother Hao'er.

Nowadays, reading people are expensive, and everything that touches books is terrifyingly expensive.

In the blink of an eye, half of the bride price was spent.

When the last cage was moved out, Yin Xiuwen finally couldn't help it and asked, "I don't know what the county commander said before?" It's about my brother Hao'er going to Shouquan School. ”

Manager Xie glanced at him lightly.

"Our lord has made a promise, and the remaining half of the bride price is used as tuition."

Yin Xiuwen breathed a sigh of relief, it doesn't matter if his daughter's marriage is gone, Brother Hao'er's future is the most important. In this way, not only did he get half of the bride price for nothing, but Brother Hao could also go to the Shouquan School, which was a double win.

Thinking of this, Yin Xiuwen showed a hint of a smile after Manager Xie left.

On the contrary, the Qin family was worried and said, "The Xie family tosses Ah Yin like this, how can Ah Yin marry in the future?" ”

Yin Xiuwen said: "Ah Yin is more literate, and he can also export chapters, although he is older, but his appearance is not bad, there are always rich businessmen who have died and want to marry Xuxian." There is no urgency in this matter, when the limelight is over and no one mentions it, I will give Ah Yin Zhang Luo a family affair. ”

Qin said: "Rich ...... Rich businessmen ......" She said in surprise: "Those rich businessmen are all old, and they can be our daughter's grandfather!" ”

Yin Xiuwen said dissatisfiedly: "Do you think I am willing? Brother Hao wants to go to Shouquan School, and the tuition fee of twenty taels a year is not much else, how can our family afford it? As a child, shouldn't you repay your parents? ”

Qin was reluctant to marry her daughter to an old man, but it hadn't happened yet, and she didn't want to go against her husband's will, so she had to respond with a smile, hoping that the old man wouldn't really go to find any rich businessmen.

"Congratulations sister! Congratulations to Sister Xi! ”

Jiang Xuan was overjoyed, and since she saw that Manager Xie was letting people move the bride price outside, she endured her joy until she entered the house. She took Ah Yin's hand and said straightly: "Sister, who is the one who came to you to buy a nuclear carving?" Can you force Xie County to withdraw from the marriage? ”

Ah Yin said with a smile: "It's also thanks to Luo Jiao who wants to fight with me, Fan Xiaolang said that the birthday banquet of Suizhou Taishou Li Cheng's father is approaching, Li Taishou is a filial son, and his father loves nuclear carvings very much, and he is extremely dislike those nuclear carvings carved according to the drawings." It happened that I heard about my craftsmanship in carving eighteen Arhats in the nuclear carving town, so I asked me to carve a festive nuclear carving as a birthday gift. ”

Jiang Xuan was still puzzled and asked, "Sister has put a lot of thought into the fifth bat, right?" ”

Ah Yin said: "There are buying and selling, and naturally there is no delay and no debt." On the fifth bat, I took the skin of another peach pit and put some thought into it. When Li Taishou first saw Wufu and Hehe Nucleus Carving, he was already extremely fond of it. Li Taishou's father is the one who loves nuclear carving, but Li Taishou is not, people who don't know about nuclear carving are prone to problems when they play with nuclear carving. ”

"So if the nuclear carving has a problem because of Li Taishou, Li Taishou is reluctant to continue to find his sister? So I owe my sister a favor? Jiang Xuan suddenly realized, "That's why my sister asked me to say that?" ”

Ah Yin bowed: "Li Taishou is a smart person, and there is no need to point out his words." His father loved my nuclear carving, and he would always have a place for me in the future. Xie Lang's matter is just a matter of words for him. Thanks to my grandfather for teaching me the skills of nuclear carving, I was able to make Li Taishou love my nuclear carving, which is also my luck. ”

"My sister's nuclear carving is so good, how can anyone not like it?"

"Look at your sweet mouth, when noon is over, you and I will go to the nuclear house together. This time, I used a lot of peach pits, so I had to add some new ones. She counted them and said, "Now we have fifteen taels of silver, and three hundred denarii." ”

Jiang Xuan said: "It's a lot! ”

Ah Yin said: "It's still not enough, we need more money." Although the Xie family's family affairs have been resolved, I will definitely make up my mind with my father's thoughts. If this family can leave early, leave early. Although the price in the list given by Fan Xiaolang last time was good, it was not a long-term solution. ”

As the saying goes, scarcity is expensive, and if you get the price, you will come out of the nuclear carving, which will appear cheap.

At noon, Ah Yin rubbed her red eyes and went to cry in front of the Qin family, and after crying for a while, she proposed to go to the house left by her grandfather to relax.

Qin agreed without saying a word.

As soon as Ah Yin left the Yin family, he was like a caged bird free, and the smile between his eyebrows, eyes, ears, nose, and lips could not be stopped. whispered and laughed with Jiang Xuan all the way, and soon arrived at Cangshan. However, as soon as he got close to the nuclear house, there was already a person standing there coldly.

It is the depth of words.

"Miss Yin, my lord is invited."
