That night, Chen Xiucai wrote a letter to Li Yuntian and asked Chen Qi'an to take it to the private school and hand it over to the students of Lijiazhuang to bring to Li Yuntian.

The family discussed that Chen Xuejiao was going to Weishan Lake to collect duck eggs, and Chen Xiucai told him the decision to let Chen Qi'an follow.

“…… Again, it's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles. Take this opportunity to go with you, your sister is young after all, and she is a girl's family, and there are many inconveniences in acting, you are a brother, and you have to take on the responsibility of a brother. Chen Xiucai earnestly instructed.

Chen Qi'an listened, a pair of starry eyes shone with brilliance, and he was obviously surprised and delighted by such a decision. Growing so big, he has never left the countryside, and the farthest place is Baitu Town, where he has never even been to Xuzhou Mansion.

Suddenly hearing the news, my heart was about to jump out of excitement, thinking that this was all thanks to my sister, and smiled happily at Xuejiao.

Chen Qi'an was originally a handsome young man, but at this time, because of his excitement, there was joy in the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, and he seemed to be more like a green pine that had just come out of the valley, fresh and bright. Chen Xuejiao's heart moved, Chen Xiucai asked Chen Qi'an to go with him, does it mean that he will broaden his horizons, and his vision is not limited to a little Xiucai, but let him have greater ambitions.

Thinking of Huang Sanlang and Gu Siyuan again, Chen Xiucai because of the injuries they were injured and the extraordinary between Master Qin's words, everything is dressed, although it is still as incomprehensible as a mountain and fog, but he also vaguely knows in his heart that it is not simple. It seems that Chen Xiucai has a long-term plan for Chen Qi'an.

Li Yuntian quickly brought the letter, and Chen Xuejiao read it to Li and Li Xiucai. Chen Xueru, Chen Qiping, and Wang Jinghao came up and sat next to Chen Xuejiao to listen together.

The letter said that the barley at home would be sown in two days. In the past few days, he told his eldest son Li Dazhuang about a family matter, and after the wheat was sown, he saw his daughter-in-law for a day, and on the fourth day, he took his nephew and niece to Weishan Lake, and he happened to have a batch of dry goods to send over. Weishan Lake also has some of his friends. He also said that this time, in addition to bringing his eldest son, he also brought his second son Li Danian over for training.

Li Yuntian's handwriting was coarse, twisted and crooked, and there were a lot of white characters, and Chen Xuejiao had a hard time reading it.

A smile of surprise appeared on Li's face: "...... Da Zhuang has also reached the age of saying goodbye. It's fast. He sighed again, "The eldest sister-in-law was only sixteen years old when she married into the Li family, and she was a mother-in-law in her eyes. ”

Li naturally cares about his mother's family, Chen Xuejiao has never seen Li Dazhuang's cousin, and she knows that she is a good person when she listens to Li's relieved tone.

"The eldest aunt is an aunt, if the eldest brother falls in love with each other, when he makes up his mind. The eldest aunt of the Li family is rarely allowed to ask the eldest aunt to take care of it. Wang Jinghao said with a smile.

Chen Xueru and Chen Xuejiao nodded, Li smiled with relief, and her nephew was also happy to marry.

Chen Xiucai wanted to read the letter in person, and Chen Xuejiao presented it with both hands. Chen Xiucai read Li Yuntian's letter full of white letters, couldn't help but laugh while reading it, and after reading it, he folded it carefully and stuffed it under the pillow.

Li Shi carefully looked at Chen Xiucai's expression and said, "What's wrong, it's not good to write." My eldest brother still learned the words from you. ”

There was a hint of coquettishness in his voice.

Li Yuntian's words were learned from Chen Xiucai, and Chen Xuejiao showed a surprised expression. Looking at Chen Qi'an, Chen Xueru, and Chen Qiping, they also showed the same expression.

"What the hell is going on?" Chen Xuejiao looked at her parents who were playing dumb riddles, "...... Could it be that my uncle is my father's student? ”

Seeing the children's eyes eager to know, Li Shi fixed his mind and said: "It's not a big deal, your uncle did learn words from your father for a few years, but not in school, but in"

Lee's words were halfway through. looked at Chen Xiucai, and saw that Chen Xiucai had no intention of objecting, so he continued: "...... After your father was admitted to Xiucai, he wanted to continue to take the imperial examination, but his family was poor and had no money. Only follow a group of horse teams to go south and north as a bookkeeper, your grandfather is a steward of the horse team, look at your father is really good-hearted and often take care of your father, your uncle is also in the horse team, and your father became a brother with your father when he came and went, and your father taught your uncle to read. ”

Li recounted, and Chen Xiucai also fell into memory.

I didn't expect Chen Xiucai to have such an experience, no wonder he was a scholar who could abacus and teach Qi Ping to settle accounts, and several children fell silent for a while.

It seems that Chen Xiucai and the Li family have a certain relationship, and finally they can marry the Li family girl as a daughter-in-law.

"There's nothing unspeakable, at first it was Xingjian's father who followed the horse team, and then he introduced me in." Chen Xiucai smiled slightly and looked at Chen Qi'an, "Although my father is only a poor Confucian in the countryside, he also knows that if he wants to achieve great things, in addition to studying hard and cultivating his temperament, he also needs to travel thousands of miles to hone his will. ”

Chen Qi'an's heart lit up, knowing his father's expectations of him, and nodded solemnly.

"Dad, you must have been to a lot of places, you can tell us about it." Chen Xuejiao was very curious about the customs of this era.

“…… At that time, "Chen Xiucai fell into memory," ...... In the south of the Yangtze River, take the canopy boat, pick fresh water chestnuts, the autumn of the Jiangnan presents a group of three autumn laurels, ten miles of lotus flowers, and the spring is different. Fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March, and under the moonlit night of the 24th bridge, listen to the sound of the jade flute coming from the tiles. Kyoto was very prosperous, and we often met Persians with blue eyes and high noses on the streets, and we learned to drink wine with them. Go to Kunlun Mountain to collect horses, just into September there was heavy snow, it was really like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms. In that vast and wild world, you will forget all the unhappiness"

Chen Xiucai said slowly, and several children were fascinated by it, especially Chen Qi'an, who was even more excited, and secretly vowed to walk the road his father walked several times when he was young.

I didn't expect Chen Xiucai to go to so many places, not to mention that such an experience is ancient, and it is not easy to put it in the modern era of the previous life. Chen Xuejiao's eyes were full of admiration when she looked at Chen Xiucai.

“…… Go to Dali to sell medicinal materials, the Yi people are very enthusiastic, drink wine in big bowls, eat meat in large pieces, and I heard that people there will be Gu. Chen Xiucai talked about the experience of Yunnan.

Suddenly, a discordant voice interrupted the warm scene, and Zhang opened the curtain uninvited, shouting in a loud voice: "You are used to living behind closed doors." ”

Chen Xiucai's conversation stopped, and several children became angry with Zhang.

"Three brothers and sisters. What's the matter? Lee stood up.

Zhang sat on the kang with his buttocks. Chen Xiucai was still lying on it, and she didn't know how to avoid suspicion, so Chen Xiucai moved her body unnaturally.

"It's nothing, it's just that it's time for me to make lunch again, my sister-in-law knows my craft, and only one out of ten meals can be eaten." Zhang's details are quite clear.

Chen Xuejiao's heart was alarmed. I don't know what Zhang's idea is.

Sure enough, the Zhang family began to flatter the Li family: "...... The sister-in-law has always been a capable person. ”

Li smiled unnaturally: "What's the matter with the fourth brother and sister, don't talk about things that can't be explained, just say anything." ”

Zhang waited for this sentence: "I can't hide it, it's useless for me to find my sister-in-law." Sister-in-law, you cook for seven people, and you cook for ten people. You don't think it's like this, I'll bring the noodles and dishes from the upper room, and you can make them together. ”

I did it easily, Chen Xuejiao sneered, thinking beautifully.

Don't wait for Li to speak. Zhang added another sentence: "I can't help it, you know my mother's temper, if I can't cook well, she will scold, and when she scolds, she will ignore others and make the family uneasy." "Involving someone else? Naturally, it is a big house involved, and the Zhang family looks unscrupulous, and he will take advantage of the weakness of the Li family. "Sister-in-law, don't talk about mother. She just had that temper, and only said that Dad, how hard she worked, and how distressing it was when she couldn't eat hot food. ”

Hearing Zhang's say about Mrs. Chen, Li didn't feel much. When she heard her say Old Man Chen, Li's mind was shaken.

Zhang understood it and made a move: "Sister-in-law, you have the right to be filial to your father, you can help make lunch today." ”

It's good to scrape before you plan. A sneer bloomed at the corner of Chen Xuejiao's lips.

"Fourth aunt, my sister and Sister Jinghao make lunch, my mother has to take care of my father, how can I have time to help you cook." Chen Xuejiao went straight to the point and directly refused for the Li family.

"Your mother hasn't spoken yet, adults are talking, what are children talking about?" Li glanced at Chen Xuejiao.

"Fourth aunt, our family has been separated, how can I let my mother cook. The fourth aunt also knew that the food she cooked was not delicious, so why not practice more. Why does my mother cook deliciously, it's because my mother cooks a lot, and if you cook every day like my mother, you don't have to ask anyone. Chen Xuejiao retorted.

Li doesn't like to listen to Zhang's words, but she always starts from the overall situation when she is the eldest sister-in-law, if it weren't for Chen Xuejiao's help, she might have been dragged into the pot house by the faceless Zhang. Living at home, you should take care of the overall situation, and you should be strong.

Chen Xuejiao was angry in her heart, if she had a good face for the Zhang family this time, wouldn't everyone in the upper room come to the north wing to work for the Li family.

"Mother, there is still a lot of work in our family, we have to cook and do laundry, and the wheat seeds on our three acres of land have not been sown." Chen Xuejiao looked at Li.

"Fourth brother and sister, you see, the work at home is really true," Li said.

Zhang's thought he was reasonable, and he said to the Li family: "Sister-in-law, I misjudged you, how diligent people are usually, how can they change as soon as they are separated." No wonder the second sister-in-law said that your previous filial piety was all pretended, but now that you have split up your family, you can't even take care of your in-laws. Zhang looked at Chen Xiucai, "Big brother, you don't care." ”

This is an internal house matter, Chen Xiucai is naturally not easy to manage, even if Chen Xiucai manages it, he will only stand by his wife and child at the moment.

Zhang wanted to use this to provoke Li.

"Fourth aunt, I don't understand what you said, according to what you said, my mother pretends to serve grandma every day, so what are you if you don't even serve?" Chen Xuejiao lowered her face, "Milk lets you cook, but if you don't do it, run to our house to break it." You just said that grandma likes to nag, and when she nags, she will involve others, what are you not sowing discord? Otherwise, let's take this to grandma and talk about it, and let the milk judge judge it. ”

Zhang stood up angrily: "Why are you talking like this kid?" Choreographed me what it is. ”

"You are here to arrange my mother, and I am not allowed to say a few words."

Chen Xueru and Wang Jing are not good at looking at Zhang.

Zhang's heart was weak and he couldn't make a sound.

"Mother, our ground is dirty, Qi Ping, you go outside to get a broom, and the dust will fall on our house." Chen Xuejiao commanded Qi Ping loudly.

Qi Ping agreed, went out, and came in with a broom.

Zhang looked at this posture, suddenly lost his momentum, and walked away.

"Xuejiao, your fourth aunt has always had no clue, and this annoys her." Li sighed helplessly, and he didn't have a clue to mean that Zhang's was out of tune.

"What if you annoy her, you don't usually mess with her, she's not the same, she eats and drinks ours, and she changes her face when she turns her head, such a person can't get used to it." Chen Xuejiao said sharply.

"Mother, I think my sister's words make sense, I listened to the meaning of her words just now, and the second aunt also arranged us behind our backs. We are so good to others, and we have such a reputation, it is better to start with Ding is Ding Mao is Mao. Chen Xueru agreed with Chen Xuejiao's words.

"That's it, mother, you don't have to worry about such trivial matters. We've all been separated, and it's useless to worry about so much. Chen Qi'an agreed. (To be continued......)
