Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Academy
CHAPTER XXIX
Cheng Wanyu never dreamed that she could easily win a battle, but in the end, she still fell under her cousin's three-inch long tongue.
No matter how she persuaded her in-laws, she couldn't persuade the two of them.
Ping Po and Cui Ming sold grain, in order to prove that their cousin was not a lie. I deliberately went to Huaizhou Mansion to visit my cousin, and after seeing the life of my cousin's family wearing gold and silver, I was relieved to hand over the money in my hand to my cousin.
As for those words, I have long forgotten them all.
Ping Po even sighed to Cui Ming: "The second family's temperament is good, but it's too dead." ”
Cui Ming also nodded in agreement: "Maybe I was taught by my family since I was a child, and I think the Cheng family is the most powerful." Beware of others, businessmen can't communicate like this! ”
I heard that all the family's money was invested in my cousin, except for Cheng Wanyu, everyone was eager to sing and dance to celebrate.
Cui Xiyue even disgusted Cheng Wanyu in front of everyone: "See, it's not just your family that has a way out to make money." We also have it in our family, don't think that you follow the Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves the suffering! ”
Ruan Sanniang was very happy to see Cheng Wanyu rarely choked. She has never been as good as Cheng Wanyu, although she respects and appreciates her, she is still very stingy in her bones, and hopes that she will fall like herself.
Cheng Wanyu had no way to tell everyone what would happen in the future, and she couldn't find a way to solve it, so she could only be anxious.
Could it be that some things still can't be changed in a lifetime? What did the Bodhisattva ask her to come back for? No, no, it certainly won't be like that. She will always find an opportunity, so she will get the money back before her cousin has started.
In early winter, the Cui family has nothing to do. In addition to chopping more firewood, the family has nothing else to do.
Fortunately, Cui Ming and Ping Po are stricter and prohibit people in the family from gambling with long-term workers. So it can almost be regarded as eating and waiting to die, dreaming every day.
Gentlemen can drink and chat to amuse boring people, who will be idle as a woman?
Cui Xiyue has already begun to discuss marriage, and Ping Po led Ruan Sanniang to prepare a dowry for her.
At this time, Cheng Wanyu understood. Why did the mother-in-law, who has always been cautious, believe her cousin's words so much, it turned out that she wanted to prepare more money for Tracy Yue.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, but it's a pity that Cui Xiyue's fate is simply asking for their lives.
But Cheng Wanyu can't ignore it, she begged the Bodhisattva every day in her last life to be a cow and a horse to repay the Cui family. Now that she's finally given a chance, she's going to sit still?
With the experience of being a human being in two lives, Cheng Wanyu will not be so hasty now. She will think of the worst ending and be mentally prepared.
Now the worst ending is just being cheated of money, if you want to make the second elder feel relieved and rely on himself, it will definitely not work. Won't you let yourself lose the dowry to her mother-in-law's family, and your mother-in-law will feel better? In her eyes, her own money is Cui Ximin's money.
Tracy Moon looking for a good family? It's not right, how can she find that virtue?
Cui Xizheng? That's right, Tracy Jung! Uncle has a good mind and is extremely talented. In later generations, he was delayed for a few years, but he was still admitted to the Jinshi. is also the only person in the Cui family who relied on his own ability to become an official, but unfortunately he was killed by himself later.
Fortunately, it can be remedied, so let's let Uncle change to another school first.
Cui Xizheng's future is the heart of Ping's mother, and he is now young and can only study in a local Xiucai family.
There is a decent school in addition to Qingshanzhai within a radius of 100 miles, so you have to go to the city. The cost in the city is large, and it is really impractical for Tracy to be small.
But the school in Qingshan Village only accepts students from their own clan. Unless the patriarch speaks, even relatives with foreign surnames cannot enter. It was specially opened for the descendants of his own clan, how could the Cui family have that ability?
Cheng Wanyu thought of someone, Shi Jun! As the young master of Qingshan Village, no matter how much he is not favored, he will not even be able to do this, right?
Looking at him like that, he doesn't look like a person who was really suppressed by his father, otherwise why did he become a little general at such a young age in his previous life?
Taking advantage of the heavy snowfall one day, Cheng Wanyu found a way to lobby Ping Po.
There are few times when there is heavy snow in North County, but once it snows, it means that next year will be another good year. So Ping Po and Cui Ming were very happy, but when they saw their son Cui Xizheng going to the lame Xiucai's house to attend classes in the snowstorm, the joy on their faces faded a little.
"Mother, don't let my uncle go if it's so cold!" Ruan Sanniang picked the stove in the house, and said to Ping Po when she heard the sound of wood crackling inside.
"How can I understand this scholar's business. It's just one thing, what the gentleman says is what it is! Ping Po put down the heavy cotton curtain and walked to the stove to bake the fire with a heavy heart.
Ruan Sanniang pouted and chewed her tongue: "It's not that I'm stingy as a sister-in-law, it's really a talented lady who is also a little picky." How much firewood did you say our family gave to our uncle so that they wouldn't be frozen? It was chopped by the head of the house, just so that the uncle could be warmer. But look at the chilblains on the uncle's hands, is that what a scholar should have! ”
Ping Po sighed slightly, and everyone in the family was angry when she talked about it. In the entire Xilianghe, only the lame show can be a gentleman, and he may be a lifting man if he breaks his leg back then.
Now I earn a lot of money as a gentleman in Xilianghe, but I don't want to light a stove for those who pick the door. It was so cold that the children shook their brushes and shouted that they wanted to quit school, so they lit a small stove.
A few days later, Xiucai's lady cried and quarreled with Xiucai, saying that the poor firewood in the house was pitiful and had no use for herself.
Cui Ximin understood the meaning of the heart, and when she went home, she complained to Ping Po that she wanted to stay at home and read by herself.
Cui Xizheng felt sorry for this younger brother, so he went to the mountain to cut wood and came back without saying a word, and sent it to Xiucai's house in sections.
thought that Cui Ximin could sit in a warm room and read and learn words, but found that the firewood was all for their own families. There is still a small way in the school and put it next to Mr. to keep warm. The lame show is called beautifully: the cantilever thorn strand.
The angry Cui Xizheng scolded Mr. Na for being lame and lame all day long, and he was not worthy of being a teacher. Of course, I only dare to say this at home, and I dare not reveal a word outside.
"Mother, Xiucai is just that ability. Everything that can be taught to Uncle has been handed over to him, and now Uncle should go to a serious academy. In the future, if you are admitted to the tribute school, you also need a decent gentleman to guide you. Cheng Wanyu said tentatively while smashing the walnuts.
"You don't want to? But how can it be so easy? The academy in Huaizhou Mansion costs more than a dozen taels of silver a year. Our family only has more than 20 taels of silver a year, and what should I do if I spend a disaster year for him? When Ping Po thought of her son's sin, her heart was uncomfortable.
Cheng Wanyu raised her eyebrows and asked, "What kind of conditions does Qingshanzhai need to allow people from outside to study?" Can't you pay more money? ”
Ruan Sanniang snorted, and the hammer that smashed the walnut almost hit her hand. She raised her eyebrows and sneered: "If you really want to go over there with a dead face, it doesn't hurt to give a few more money, but the gentleman over there still doesn't want to see him." If the family members themselves open their mouths to send it over, the husband will treat them as if they were the children and grandchildren of the family. ”
That's really the case, but I don't know if Shi Jun can sell himself a favor.
"Mother, my starling has a good relationship with the young master of Qingshanzhai. Why don't I ask my brother to ask, maybe there will be a chance. If it doesn't work, let's think of another way. I can't let my uncle be delayed, that person's good times are only a few years! Ping Po looked at Cheng Wanyu in shock, with a look of disbelief and surprise.
"If you can let the third child go to Qingshanzhai to study, my mother can be relieved in this life. The second family, mother, mother, thank you! Ping Po said excitedly, and Ruan Sanniang danced happily on the side.
Cheng Wanyu patted Pingpo's arm with an embarrassed face, and smiled reluctantly: "Mother, I can only say to ask." Whether it can be done or not, you must not take it seriously. Just let our mothers know about this, in case it doesn't work, let Uncle Bai be happy! ”
In this way, Cheng Wanyu had another reason to go back to her parents' house, and took Xiaocui to lead the horse back to Donglianghe.
From Cui's house to the entrance of Xilianghe Village, Xiaocui led the horse in front of her, and Cheng Wanyu sat on horseback in a red eye-catching riding suit.
swaggered all the way, and how many girls and daughters-in-law had envious red eyes. Even the old ladies who are old are also on crutches as if they are looking at rare things.
A handsome little face, although the red cloak was wrapped around her body, it still couldn't stop her beautiful figure. Slender thighs, slender waist, towering breasts. Around, the delicate white-necked man passing by the side of the road couldn't take his eyes off.
"Cut! What's so awe-inspiring! It's so ugly to dress like that, shameless! Cui Xiyue happened to be playing at the little sister's house again, and heard someone outside say that a big beauty passed by and came out to see.
Seeing that it was Cheng Wanyu, the curiosity and excitement immediately seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water.
"Your sister-in-law is so beautiful! You see she's on a horse, and there's a little girl in front of her. Tsk, that's majestic! Someone said the opposite, and immediately got Tracy Yue's angry eyes.
"Where does she look good? Isn't it just that your skin is whiter and tenderer, and you are as white as a female ghost when you rub powder. The body is so thin that it can't do any work. What's so good? Listening to Cheng Wanyu's sister-in-law say this, the people next to her all understood.
They giggle at each other, they just don't say anything. saw Cheng Wanyu walking to the entrance of the village, pulling the little girl to turn over and get on the horse. The master and servant rode their horses and whips and galloped away.
"Why are you willing to take care of your in-laws' affairs? Trishin is that good? Shi Jun, who was still practicing boxing shirtless in the yard on a cold day, stared at Cheng Wanyu angrily, as if he was about to burst into flames.
was so frightened that she hurriedly hid behind Cheng Youzhi, and this action made Shi Jun even more annoyed. Closed his fist and stretched out his arm. Immediately, a small servant handed over a towel, and swaggered into the hall while wiping his sweat.
Cheng Youzhi whispered to his sister: "Don't look at him so loudly, in fact, there is no malice, don't be afraid!" ”
Cheng Wanyu muttered in her heart: I'm afraid that he will die on the side of the road again, okay, I don't know if I am your benefactor without heart or conscience!
