Chapter 140: Wooing (Three Watches)

Cheng Wanyu said meaningfully: "It doesn't matter, everyone lives in different environments and understands different things." I heard that Mama's son is a good student? ”

Speaking of this little son, Mama Zhuang's face could not hide her smugness: "Yes, the slave's youngest son reads well." In the early years, I accompanied the second young master, and I didn't go to the academy again until the second young master was gone. ”

Cheng Wanyu opened her eyes wide and was naΓ―ve: "Then has he ever thought about taking the road of the imperial examination?" Didn't the Shi family abandon martial arts and follow literature, and should be a literati anymore? ”

Carrying this Grandma Zhuang, her face was gloomy: "How can a slave have that life?" We are cheap, and the children of slaves and maids can only be a scholar and cannot take scientific examinations! ”

Cheng Wanyu raised her eyebrows, as if it was the first time she had heard such a thing: "Aren't you Mrs. Ding's dowry?" Since you are her confidant, why is it difficult for her to get rid of your lowly status? It's just that I just sent someone to the yamen to say hello, and it only takes a day to go back and forth. ”

Mama Zhuang also knows that reason is like this, but it has to be Mrs. Ding's willingness. On that day, on Mrs. Ding's birthday, she gave a gift with a shy face while she was happy. When Mrs. Ding heard that it was given by her youngest son Zhuang Wei, she waved her hand and said that she wanted to give a reward.

Seeing that there was a play, Mama Zhuang hurriedly said that the child was good at studying, but it was a pity that he could not take the road of the imperial examination. Mrs. Ding's face fell at that time, and she turned her head to talk to the other ladies after saying a few words lightly.

Mama Zhuang, who knew the bad thing, didn't dare to make do in front of Mrs. Ding, so she took out the silver nude and bought off the little maid in Madame's room at night. Only then did I hear what Mrs. said when she lost her temper at night.

"The dogs raised in a yard are much more noble than him, and it's a joke that he still wants to take the imperial examination!"

"The things that carry shoes for my son are also worthy of being an official. My son died young, and it was already cheap for him not to let that dog who was not a good protector be martyred! ”

After Mama Zhuang heard this, she never dared to mention this matter again. Even if it is to give money to his son to redeem himself. That's also impossible.

Cheng Wanyu deliberately mentioned this, how could Mama Zhuang not be sad. Seeing this, Cheng Wanyu smiled and said: "If the deed of Mama's family is with me, I can change Mama's lowly status." It's a pity that this is really difficult to do. Mrs. Ding and I are incompatible, and they can't listen to my advice! ”

Mama Zhuang was obedient and knew that she was nodding herself. Hurriedly knelt down and said to Cheng Wanyu: "The slave begs grandma!" The slave and maid had two sons. The big one is already a waste person doing chores on the village. If the little one can't get ahead, I'm afraid that in the future, he will be like a slave and a maid as a cow and a horse for a lifetime! ”

Cheng Wanyu touched her stomach and said with a smile: "Who said it wasn't!" I am also a mother now, and I understand the heart of being a parent. I can understand your suffering, but some things are not very easy to do! ”

Mama Zhuang kowtowed on the ground, then raised three fingers and pointed to the sky and swore an oath: "The slave maid made a poisonous oath, as long as grandma can change our family's lowly status." Let my son go through the scientific examination, and the slave maid can be a cow and a horse for his grandmother! ”

Cheng Wanyu sneered: "This is what you said!" If your son fails the test, then. Don't blame me! ”

Mama Zhuang nodded fiercely: "If he can't pass the exam, he won't be blessed, as long as he changes his son, there will always be someone who can pass the exam." At that time, even if the bones of the slaves and maids are rotten, it will not be in vain to plan for them! ”

Mama Dong really watched it from the side, and she couldn't tell what kind of feeling she felt in her heart. Before leaving, the old lady told her that the eldest lady was a big radish with a good heart. It's useless, just have a face and no head. Let yourself take care of yourself everywhere, and then train a few capable maids.

But now that I see it with my own eyes, the eldest lady is far from what the old lady said. Isn't this just an easy way to clean up the people sent by my mother-in-law?

picked on people's weaknesses, and did not use gold or coercion to clean up the original eyeliner.

Originally, when the jade slave left. She was also worried about what kind of reason Mama Zhuang should send back. This time, the young lady thought of a really good way, to fight poison with poison.

No matter how much Mrs. Ding thought about it, she would never have thought of the eyeliner she sent herself. The dowry that followed her for decades betrayed her.

I'm afraid that the words passed here will be different in the future, so what else does the old lady have to worry about?

At the same time, Xiaohong and Xiaocui hurriedly ran to the mountain. Ah Zi, who was waiting on the side, immediately got up from the ground and ran over to tell the two of them what she had inquired about.

The water on the mountain flowed straight down, and what was originally like a river gradually turned into a stream. Today's drought has caused every household to have insufficient food and vegetables.

Some elderly people say that this year is a once-in-a-century drought. I'm afraid that I will have no harvest and starve to death. There was chaos in the city, and many people were in a hurry to go out to stock food. The price of rice has risen.

The people in Sanhua Hutong realized it later, and they didn't know who was spreading rumors. Several families on the mountain hurriedly went up the mountain. Choke the water source and block the river. So much so that at the foot of the mountain, Cheng Wanyu's large vegetable fields dried up, and some vegetables died. The land is cracked. If you don't irrigate, you're going to die.

Xiaocui looked at the vegetables she planted distressedly, and every piece of land was dug out with her own effort. Each dish was planted by himself, and he was going to die before he could eat it.

Xiaohong thought about it carefully, took Ah Zi's hand and asked, "There are several on the mountain, and there are three or four in the river." Aren't we the neighbors in our alley? Sister-in-law Gao, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Xie. Aren't these all our acquaintances? Just let them boil the water and give it to us. ”

Ah Zi said anxiously: "Sister, you think of them too well." Our family's river was blocked by a few of them. Just now, the slave maid had already gone to ask for it, and was driven out with a broom by the old lady of the Xie family! ”

Xiaohong has one head and two big, and the young lady cares about these families. always said that my uncle would also want the help of these masters in the future, but why is the gap between the same people being wives so big?

The old lady of the Xie family is also too stubborn, if it weren't for the young lady, how many acres of vegetable land would their family have to eat? This will not hesitate to turn his face with the young lady in order to get some water. Didn't you see what happened to Mrs. Chen?

Thinking of this, Xiaohong angrily pulled her arm and went up the mountain to Xiaocui on her sleeve.

Chen Bingyi's family saw three girls walking this way from afar, and needless to say, he knew that it was the girl of the woman in the Shi family. The one in pink clothes is the little red who has an unforgiving mouth and speaks like a little pepper. The one in green clothes, who looks like a tiger with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, looks like a big winter melon. The purple dress like an eggplant is the little girl she bought newly, Ah Zi.

She hurriedly ran over and complained to the old lady of the Xie family in a scream: "Those three powerful little girls from the Shi family are here, I'm afraid they want to fight with us!" After saying that, she shrank to the side and hid to watch the excitement.

She didn't want to wait until her man came back to get beaten, and this river wasn't something she was going to block in the first place. Even if there was a dispute between the two families, this time she didn't say a word.

The old lady of the Xie family shouted at her daughter-in-law who was arguing with her sister-in-law. Xie Zhi'an's family hurriedly stood side by side with his mother-in-law, waiting for the three maids to come over and fight.

II-VI's family stood beside him, and it was not a matter of not leaving. I could only greet him embarrassedly, and said with a wry smile: "Why did a few girls come over?" Your grandmother doesn't need your service anymore? ”

Xiaohong couldn't help but smile and said, "Our grandmother heard that the vegetables in the field were cut off, and the cracks in the ground could even reach into the feet. It's uncomfortable at the moment, but it's a pity that she can't go far now that she's heavy. Send a few of us over to have a look, and borrow some water from a few ladies! ”

Gao Yiqiu's family didn't dare to call the shots, and they agreed to cut off the water at the beginning. But the sister of the Shi family is her own good, and the palms and backs of her hands are full of meat, and she doesn't know what to do for a while.

Xiaohong understood at a glance that this was still what the Xie family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said. She stepped forward and bowed, and said softly: "Old lady Xie is fine, the slave maid is the maid next to the grandmother of the Shi family, named Xiaohong." I've been to your house to deliver snacks before, I don't know if the old lady still remembers! ”

The old lady of the Xie family knew that this girl was not simple when she heard it, and she talked about the kindness of the Shi family to the Xie family. is secretly satirizing the Xie family for being ungrateful and not doing things authentically!

She said with a straight face: "I remember you, your mouth is very powerful." It was you who quarreled with the honest woman of the Chen family. Hmph, you're really picky about softness! ”

Xiaohong's face changed, and then she smiled again: "Old lady, you can't say that." Only our two families know what happened that day. Besides, the uncle of the Chen family said that he didn't blame the slave maid, and it was not the slave's fault that he thought about it. ”

After speaking, he said: "The slave and maid see that the crops of your family are growing well, and the water head is enough to show that the ladies have been working hard for a few days. It's not like our vegetable patch, where the leaves are dry like something. ”

Xiao Cui couldn't wait for Xiaohong to be so inkbloc, so she said directly: "We are here to beg you to open the river and water our vegetable patch!" ”

Ah Zi had seen the power of the old lady of the Xie family, and hurriedly added: "Even if we don't open the river, it's okay, we are not afraid of hard work." It's okay to carry water bucket by bucket! ”

The old lady of the Xie family shook her head and said, "That's not good, it's not raining, it's just a little water." When the river is opened, we are going to drink the northwest wind. Your grandmother is rich, and she shouldn't have a vegetable patch with a big belly. Why fight with us poor people for this water! ”

Xie Zhi'an's family also echoed: "That's right, your grandmother is very rich." You don't necessarily get a few dishes if you eat meat every day! In winter, you can also use good charcoal to raise a few locks of leeks. ”

Chen Bingyi's family was originally squatting behind a big rock, but when they heard this, they also stood up and echoed: "I also saw your family pulling vegetables and meat in a carriage. The rotten leaves in the kitchen are better than the ones cooked in our pot. ”

Xie Zhi'an turned his head and pointed to the big stone, and smiled at Xiaohong: "You heard it, your grandmother is not short of money." Go back and tell her, even if the old sister begs her. Don't grab food from us poor people! (To be continued) R655
