Chapter Seventy-Five: Returning the Gift

"Huh? How's that going to work? What do I do when you don't come? ”

"Why don't you just learn with them?"

"No, no, those nasty ghosts, I'm not with them! Ling'er, why are you here? Ah, by the way, Xiaohuzi hasn't been here for two days, he won't come and won't come, right? ”

Ling'er hesitated slightly, nodded and said, "Well, I went to Xiaohuzi's house last afternoon to see it, and his mother didn't let him come, let me talk to the master today!" ”

"Huh? Why? ”

"This ...... Hu Ziniang said that he is a boy, and he can't learn anything by studying with our two female dolls, and others have to gossip! So ......"

"What gossip? We are above board, and we haven't done anything unseemly, no, I'll go to Hu Ziniang to talk about it! ”

"Don't go! Sister Yue'er, since... People aren't happy, so forget it! ”

Yue'er was a little angry, and sat on the chair: "You guys are really not interesting, you obviously said that you would be together, but after only a few days, you will regret it!" I knew I wouldn't be here last time I went home! ”

Ling'er laughed and said, "It's too late for Sister Yue'er to go back now!" ”

"How's that going to work! I made a bet with my eldest sister that I wouldn't go back if I didn't stay with my grandparents for half a year, and now it's only been more than a month, so I'm going back, and it's strange that they don't laugh to death! ”

Ling'er didn't know what to say, she thought for a while: "Sister Yue'er, otherwise, you are willing to study with them, if you don't want to, you can come to me to play!" But I have to work at home, so I can't be with you all the time! ”

Yue'er was still very dissatisfied, her little mouth was raised high, and Ling'er coaxed her for a long time before she got better. It was half an hour after the old lady came to call Ling'er, and the two came out of the house and saw that the courtyard was empty, not only were the daughters-in-law gone, but even the two grandsons of the old village chief and Wang Fugui were gone.

Yue'er jumped to the old village chief in a few steps, pulled up his sleeves and said happily: "Grandpa, did you drive them all away?" Great, those boys are so annoying, they don't study seriously and don't talk, and they are annoyed to be noisy every day! Grandpa, don't let them come in the future, right? ”

Grandma Gui said: "Yue'er, don't talk nonsense, Ze'er and Da'er are your cousins, Fugui is not an outsider, you are older than them, you are a sister, and a sister can't bully a younger brother, you know?" ”

Yue'er pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice: "I don't want that kind of brother anymore, I hate it to death!" ”

The old village chief beckoned to Ling'er, Ling'er went over, bowed deeply, and politely called the master. The old village chief nodded, stroked his beard and said, "Well, Ling'er, your mother has told the teacher, come every Monday and Tuesday every month in the future!" Take this poetry collection back and take a look, if you don't understand something, you can always use it as a teacher! ”

Ling'er respectfully thanked and then took the book, Yue'er said, "Grandpa, do you really want Ling'er to avoid Wang Fugui?" Why? Isn't Wang Fugui's family very rich? Let him find his master again, why do you keep pestering you? ”

The old village chief looked at Yue'er and said in a deep voice: "Yue'er, don't be rude, in the future, you will be like Ling'er, you will come to the yard to study every Monday and Tuesday every month, usually either practice calligraphy in the house, or learn needlework and cooking with your grandmother, don't be lazy!" ”

"Ah~~~" Yue'er stretched her tone, "No, grandpa, do you want me to learn to sew and cook?" I don't do it, and I won't learn ...... if I die."

The old village chief lowered his face: "What do female dolls say if they can't sew clothes and cook?" Whether you do it or not, you have to learn, and you have to learn when you go home! ”

"Forget it, old man, don't be so fierce to her, beware of scaring her! Come, Yue'er, go to the kitchen with grandma, grandma will make you snacks! ”

"Oh, okay, it's better to be grandma!" Yue'er jumped over with cheers, Ling'er's mother and daughter left the courtyard after saying goodbye to the old village chief, and then went home again, taking the things sent by Wang Fugui's family yesterday, and planning to send them back as they were.

The old lady originally planned to go alone, but Ling'er was afraid that she would be bullied, so she took the initiative to hug the box and said to help, and followed the old lady to go with her. The two of them ran through the village from the west side of the village, heading towards the large garden of Wang Fugui's house, which occupied almost half of the mountain in the east.

I have to say that Wang Fugui's family is indeed wealthy, and lo and behold, as soon as you come out of the west of the village, the road becomes a wide and smooth bluestone avenue, which is enough for two large carriages to pass side by side. All the way up, it is this neat bluestone road, and various flowers and plants are planted on the side of the road, which are artificially arranged into a certain shape, like a park, and it must be very beautiful in the flower season!

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the manor gate made of white jade, with two big words on the plaque - Wangfu, and there are two big stone beasts at the door, I don't know what kind of animal it is, anyway, it's not a lion. If it weren't for the uninformed people who came here, most of them would think that this was the palace of a royal prince in the capital!

The old lady came to the gate of the palace, asked Ling'er to wait beside her, and she was about to step on the white jade steps to find someone, she only took a step, and heard the little girl at the door shouting: "Stop!" Where is the mother-in-law, how can she not ask, just trespassing? Want to eat the board, don't you? ”

The old lady was so frightened that she hurriedly retreated, half-hunched and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, little brother, I... I'm from Wangjia Village under the mountain, my husband's surname is Yang, yesterday my grandmother's sister-in-law Zhou sent some things over, we didn't dare to ask for it, I specially sent it back today, how about bothering the little brother to help inform me? ”

The little girl looked at the old lady with his hands around his chest and squinted his eyes, and snorted coldly: "Everyone in Wangjia Village is surnamed Wang, where did they come from to be surnamed Yang?" Go away, go away, don't dirty my house! ”

"Alas, little brother, I... I'm really from Wangjia Village, or... Why don't you ask Sister-in-law Zhou! ”

"Sister-in-law Zhou is busy, I don't have time to pay attention to you, go away!" The little girl stretched out her hand and pushed the old lady, almost pushing the old lady to a stumble, Ling'er hurriedly rushed up to support the old lady, and said angrily: "Hey, why are you doing it?" My mother is so old, if she is injured, can you afford to pay for it? ”

The little guy squinted at Ling'er and snorted coldly: "This whole mountain is my lord's territory, and the title deed is written in black and white, you guys came to my lord's territory to spread wild, I didn't give you a few sticks, it's okay, let's go!" ”

Ling'er bit her lip and glared at the man fiercely, and the man said with a disdainful expression: "What do you see?" You're welcome not to go! ”

Ling'er stomped her feet: "Okay, let's go, but I have to make it clear, my name is Yang Ling'er, I live in the west of Wangjia Village under the mountain, and I have been reading and reading with the old village chief." As soon as Wang Fugui came, his mother sent someone to my house, openly giving gifts, coercing and tempting outside the words, and forcing my mother not to let me go to school.

Let's return things today, if you don't let them in, don't report and humiliate people, then I'll give the things to the old village chief, make it clear to him, let the old village chief come and return it, and let the old village chief comment on it by the way, and see how strong and domineering his new students are, hum! Mother, let's go! ”
