Zhou Xiaoniang is not afraid of anything else, but she is afraid that the eldest lady of the Qi family will have a bad temper, and she will have a better family background when she enters the door, and the dowry is rich and unbearable.

You must know that her Zhou family is now sick and weak, and she has an eldest sister who has a bad reputation, but anyone who is not very good will be disadvantaged when they enter the door.

She doesn't forget it, she's a girl anyway, and she's going to go out sooner or later.

She is afraid that her father and sister will be wronged, and her father and mother will be sick like that, if she is wronged and can't think about it for a while, I'm afraid she will have to leave, her brother has a good temperament, and his nature is the most kind, but he can't say that he will be subdued by the new sister-in-law, and the eldest sister, who was abducted and sold and came back with a bad reputation, I am afraid that she will never marry again in this life, and she will have to rely on her brother and sister-in-law to live in the future, if the sister-in-law is not good, her eldest sister has been wronged.

Listening to the admiration and envy of others, Zhou Xiaoniang left with a heavy heart, and in a blink of an eye, she looked at the eldest sister with a smile on her face, she took a sip in her heart, and only said that this was a fool.

Little Lady Zhou walked around, went to the hall to add some water to Qi Jing and Zhou Hongwen, and heard Zhou's mother calling her in the other room, and she quickly agreed to go in.

While helping Zhou's mother sit up, Zhou Xiaoniang smiled: "Mother, what do you call me?" ”

Zhou's mother looked at Zhou's father who was lying next to her: "Your father called you." ”

Father Zhou coughed and gasped for a long time before he said, "It's so lively outside, is it the dowry here?" ”

Zhou Xiaoniang responded: "Yes, my father doesn't know, my sister-in-law's dowry is really rich, and many people envy our family." ”

Father Zhou sighed when he heard it: "Qi Dafei is not a coincidence." ”

Zhou's mother glared at him: "Regardless of so many of them, after all, this family affair is completed, and the daughter-in-law is about to enter the door, what is the point of thinking about some and not, the two of us are sick like this, and I don't know what day it is. ”

"I'm just worried about it." Father Zhou smiled bitterly: "Speaking of which, this family business is not bad, in the future, we will leave, Brother Wen will still have a strong Yue family to help him." Our three children will not be frozen and hungry, but the same thing, this daughter-in-law doesn't know whether her temperament is good or bad. ”

Little Lady Zhou hurriedly smiled and said, "Okay, okay." I have inquired with someone, and my sister-in-law's character is really good, and she is also good-looking. ”

"Stop, stop." Father Zhou waved his hand: "We don't care about how people look, just have a good character." Whoever marries a wife is virtuous, but not married, the flower-like little lady enters the door, and only knows how to dress up and eat and drink every day, our family's life is not over, no matter what she looks like, as long as she is good to your brother. ”

Zhou's mother also promised: "What your father said is that it is like a long dominatrix, but if she is good to your brothers and sisters, her mother will recognize her as a daughter-in-law." ”

Little Lady Zhou pondered for a while. I also think what my parents said is true.

Mother Zhou pulled the little lady Zhou to sit down, always did not let go, and said in a good voice: "Mother knows that you are a temperamental, but my mother also has to tell you, our Zhou family has lived in Chengxi Village for several lifetimes, everything pays attention to rules and etiquette, and it is also able to be kind to others, therefore, no matter who mentions our Zhou family in the village, we can say that we are honest." But you can't say that our family is evil, you will remember in the future, when your sister-in-law enters the door, she is the eldest sister-in-law. You are a sister-in-law, you should get along well with her, don't think you are a coquettish, just lose your temper with your sister-in-law. ”

"Am I that kind of person?" Zhou Xiaoniang was angry and funny: "This daughter-in-law has not entered the door yet, and her father and mother have protected her, and I dare to love that this family can't tolerate me." ”

Mother Zhou couldn't hold back and smiled, this smile. There was another heart-rending cough: "I just want to make your sister-in-law more kind, where is there no room for you, you are the meat that fell from my body, she is not, it is because she is not, she entered the door, you should be polite to her, don't let her think that we treat her as an outsider." ”

"Hey." Zhou Xiaoniang agreed coolly.

Father Zhou listened to bursts of laughter from outside again, and laughed too: "Come on, there are still a lot of things outside, you can go out and get busy." ”

Zhou Xiaoniang smiled: "Nacheng, I'll go out and have a look, and I'll bring some food over in a while, and my father and mother will pad my stomach first." ”

Seeing Zhou's father waving his hand again, Zhou Xiaoniang went out with a smile, and as soon as she got out of the room, her face sank, she also knew that her parents were honest and kind people, and her brother was a temperament.

Zhou Xiaoniang's right hand tightened a few times, and said in her heart, this sister-in-law should look at it, if she is filial to her parents and better to her brother, just like her father and mother said, no matter how good she looks, she respects her, but if she is a waste, even if she is a fairy, she will have to make trouble with her.

Here Qi Jing and Zhou Hongwen talked for a while, both of them are motivated to read, and most of them are also talking about poetry and books, this conversation, Qi Jing is full of joy.

He was a showman, and whether it was the county or government examination, he was very good at the exam, and when it came to poetry and books, he was also familiar with it, so he talked with Zhou Hongwen and found that Zhou Hongwen was not only familiar with poetry and books, but also very good at poetry and songs, and he was also good at planning or something.

If you can be admitted to Xiucai, then you will have a fame, and in the future, you can't pick and hold a hand, but you can run a private school to teach some children to read and write, and in this way, it can be regarded as a craft to make a living, and your sister can at least mix food and clothing with him.

If you are more motivated, you will be promoted in the examination in the future, then you will have the qualification to be an official, and you will be called a master.

Qi Jing asked Zhou Hongwen happily: "My brother-in-law is also familiar with poetry and books, why didn't he take the children's exam?" ”

Zhou Hongwen sighed: "It's just that there is no money left in the family, you can also see that the old and weak in my family, if I make trouble studying and taking scientific examinations, won't this force my parents and sisters to have no way to live." ”

Qi Jing thought about it, so he smiled and didn't say anything.

After sitting for a while, Qi Jing got up to say goodbye, and Zhou Hongwen sent him outside the door until he returned.

Sending Qi Jing away, Zhou Hongwen brought the food to Zhou's father and Zhou's mother's house, and when he entered the door, he put down the food first, went over to help Zhou's father and Zhou's mother up, and rolled up the quilt to make the second elder more comfortable.

After moving the kang table over, Zhou Hongwen began to set up the meal.

Father Zhou saw that Zhou Hongwen had not seen him for a few days and was pale and thin, and his heart was like a knife: "Son, when you marry your daughter-in-law, you can rest well, and ask your sister and sister to serve us." ”

Zhou Hongwen agreed with a smile, and pushed the soft and rotten rice over again: "Let's eat first." ”

Mother Zhou didn't serve the meal, but shivered and took out a cloth bag from under the quilt behind her head, opened it layer by layer, and a white jade bracelet that was not very good was exposed.

She pushed the bracelet to Zhou Hongwen: "Ming'er I'm afraid that there are many places to use money outside the house, so you, take this seriously." ”

"No, no." Zhou Hongwen was taken aback, and hurriedly refused: "This can't be done, this is what my mother gave to you when I married my grandmother, it is an heirloom of our family, how can I be, don't worry about money, I have borrowed some from my classmates and friends, enough for Ming'er to support it, when Mrs. Qi enters the door, I will do more work, help people copy books, how can I pay it back." ”

The tears in Zhou's mother's eyes fell one by one, she turned her head and wiped her hand: "That's okay, my mother will keep it for you, keep it for your daughter-in-law." ”

"Mother, let's eat first." Zhou Hongwen brought a bowl of rice to Zhou's mother: "My daughter-in-law is about to enter the door, this is a big happy event, my mother has to be happy, I can't say it, as soon as my daughter-in-law enters the door, this happy event rushes, and my father's illness will be cured." ”

Zhou's father and Zhou's mother knew their own family affairs, and knew that their bodies would not be good, and now they were just surviving, but seeing their son's happy appearance, they couldn't bear to hit him, so they laughed.

After the second elder had eaten, Zhou Hongwen packed up his food and went out, and then went out, he looked at a boy in red standing under the porch and didn't know what he was looking at, Zhou Hongwen smiled and walked a few steps: "Brother Wang." ”

The man in red turned his head and smiled at Zhou Hongwen: "Brother Zhou, you are about to become a groom's official, in the end, your spirit is different, you look much better than yesterday." ”

Zhou Hongwen lowered his head: "Where, but in the end, it is a happy event, I am happy in my heart, and my face will be brought out." ”

The man in red smiled again; "There are many places where it costs money to marry a daughter-in-law, if you don't make a move, you can pay for it, I still have some spare money there to borrow you to spend first, and when you earn more, just give me some."

Zhou Hongwen knew that the man in red had good intentions, so he thanked him with a smile, and said that the money was enough, and only told him to stop worrying about it.

After saying a few more words, the man in red sighed: "I have heard that the new daughter-in-law you are going to marry is not very good, but don't be the same as the little lady I met some time ago, that little lady is really good-looking, and her temperament is really strong, and her mouth is very neat, and she scolded me in a few words...... There are still a lot of people in the academy who laugh at me. ”

Zhou Hongwen couldn't help but laugh when he heard it, he had heard about it a few days ago.

This red-clothed boy surnamed Wang, who studied with Zhou Hongwen earlier, the two of them have similar temperaments, Wang Gongzi is a kind-hearted person, and he is not bad, just the same, this person likes to see beauties, regardless of men and women, but whenever the good-looking prince likes it when he sees it, he is willing to get close, and he hides it if it is not very good.

Just some time ago, Wang Gongzi went to the teahouse to eat tea, but he happened to see a little lady who is said to look like a fairy, Wang Gongzi saw that he liked it, and he didn't care about paying for the tea for the little lady at the moment, he was well-intentioned, who knew that the little lady misunderstood, and scolded him for a bloody head, in the end it is still Wang Gongzi has a good temperament, if he changes someone, I am afraid that he will be annoyed and angry.

Zhou Hongwen thought of this, and also saved a little bit of laughter: "The little lady only scolded Brother Wang, and it was already very good that she didn't shoot to beat it, if Brother Wang, the little lady next to him, had to be beaten if he had a conversation in the past, Brother Wang was still complaining now, I look at you, I should be very happy."
