Zhang gave a few big bucks to the messenger who came to deliver the good news, and the two messengers glanced at each other, their eyes were very disdainful, and the two of them grabbed the lead and ran so far to report the good news, how could they be embarrassed to take out such a few big bucks.

Li Yihe heard the letter and just entered the house, just when he saw the disdainful eyes of the two errand officers, he hurriedly took out two pieces of broken silver, each of which could have two taels of silver, and handed them to the two, "Thank you two big brothers for coming to report the news, and please go in for a cup of hot tea, have a drink and go back." ”

Whether it is the town or the county officer, most of them know Li Yihe, and seeing that he is so generous, he went in and drank a cup of hot tea with a few words of greeting, and then got up to say goodbye. Before leaving, Li Yihe filled a small basket of fruits for the two of them, "I grew them at home, and the two of them took them back to try them." ”

This fruit is a good thing, how can ordinary people be willing to spend money to buy this, this basket is also beautiful, it is specially made up, just like the fruit basket in the previous life, the gift is very good. The two happily took it away, praising the second child of the Li family for being a man.

After sending off the errand officer, Li Laoshi said to his second son with a happy face: "Your eldest brother is in the middle of the move, this is a blessing for our old Li family, you take some silver, let your mother and them buy a three-day flowing water banquet, so that the old and young masters of the whole village will follow us happily." ”

Li Xiaoran, who happened to come in, pouted when he heard this, it's the old man who wants to show off!

Li Yihe didn't move, he said lightly: "Dad, the eldest brother will go to the examination tomorrow spring, Shengjing is more than a thousand miles away, and the eldest brother is afraid that he will have to leave in a few days." In my opinion, Dad should be happy for a day, and when the eldest brother is admitted to the Jinshi, Dad will have a good feast to celebrate. ”

He doesn't pick and choose. The eldest brother went to catch the exam, and he also took silver for the travel expenses, but after so many things, he was very uncomfortable when he took out the silver to set up wine without any guilt.

Li Laoshi glared at him when he heard this, "Now the treat is to celebrate his successful examination, and we don't have a single person in the whole town." Don't you want to celebrate. Wait until he gets the Jinshi. No matter how good Dad is, can it be the same? ”

Li Yihe wanted to say more, but he was already waving his hand impatiently. "Okay, Dad knows that you are dissatisfied with your eldest brother, but the second child, you can't write two Li characters in one stroke. If you want to say that you are dissatisfied, it is also that Dad is not doing well. It has nothing to do with your eldest brother, your eldest brother is fine, can he forget you? How much money you have, you will have to rely on your eldest brother in the future. Without your eldest brother behind you, the more money you have, the more disasters you have, and you have forgotten how our family moved to this poor country in the first place? Dick. Dad is old, and Dad used to have a place where he couldn't live with you. But my father is also for our old Li family to glorify their ancestors, and to go back to their hometown one day in a dignified manner, so that those who robbed our family property can see, our old Li family also has this day of raising eyebrows. ”

Li Yihe was stunned, he didn't expect the old man to admit his partiality, and his words made him wake up in his heart. He doesn't remember much when he was a child, but the deepest impression is that the family came to this remote town as if fleeing, this more remote mountain village, and later his grandfather often sat in the yard and talked to them about the former scenery of the Li family.

None of their brothers knew what had happened, they only knew that their grandfather had offended people, had been dismissed from Xiucai's reputation, and had occupied their family's land, so they were forced to leave the country.

Now it sounds like maybe grandpa earned a huge family business and was coveted, so maybe it caused a catastrophe.

He secretly wiped a cold sweat, fortunately the man's fruits they got were not sold out, and the family secretly shared them, and they didn't even give Wang Zhi'er, who lived together. Otherwise, although the silver is earned, it is not necessarily a good thing to have more silver.

"Think about it, if you don't pay attention to what your father said, hey, this matter, it's all because your father didn't have a bowl of evenness, but if your father is in one day, your father won't let this family break up, and you brothers will have to listen to me, an old man." Li honestly said a few words, and then began to be unreasonable again, "I don't blame you if you don't want to take the silver, but you're right, your eldest brother has to go to Beijing in advance, so let's do it, you take two hundred taels of silver out and let him enter Beijing to catch the exam, everything in the capital is expensive, my scholar is too young for me, let your third brother accompany him to go together, and you can also have a long experience, save a day to know that your daughter-in-law and child are hot on the kang, and you don't grow up at all." ”

He squinted his eyes, dissatisfied that his third son did not pass the exam.

Li Yihai's eldest daughter is named Li Xiaodie, and she is now one year old, and Li honestly thinks that it was because the Qian family and this child were tired that he didn't pass the exam.

Li Yihe sighed and persuaded: "Dad, how old is the third child, when my eldest brother was so old, he didn't get into the exam." Is it so easy to get a show? "If you want to be so good in the exam, Li Yiyuan will not be in his thirties before passing the exam, and there will not be so many students who fall behind every year.

Li Laoshi snorted at what he said, "This matter is settled, you will send the silver when you go back." ”

has already broken up, and it is so polite to ask for silver, Li Yihe breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "Dad, it's a good thing that my eldest brother is rushing to take the exam, I have provided for him for so many years, and I will not give up the money at this time." But I don't have two hundred taels, and my father gave fifty or sixty taels in bits and pieces this year, plus the family's expenses, and three children studying, I can only take out fifty taels of silver. Dad, you hear about me first," Li Yihe saw that he was about to get angry again, so he didn't give him a chance to speak: "I went to the county to inquire, and if you go to Fucheng like the eldest brother, it will cost you a few taels of silver, and when you go to Shengjing, I heard that it is only twenty or thirty taels of silver." Our family is not such a rich and noble family, and the eldest brother also understands that he must be embarrassed to reach out and ask for more, squandering his brother's hard-earned money, and the fifty taels may not be used. ”

As soon as he said this, Li Laoshi's anger would not be easy to develop, otherwise it would not have been the eldest son, regardless of his family background, who wantonly squandered his brother's hard-earned money.

The two were at a stalemate, Jiang Sheng came with his son and grandson, and when he entered the door, he arched his hand towards him: "Hehe, in-laws, congratulations!" ”

Jiang Feng and Li Yulan must be close, Li Laoshi is a generation younger than him, and the two simply compliment each other as in-laws, which avoids the embarrassment.

"Hehe, rejoicing." Li honestly smiled more happily than marrying his wife when he was young, and instructed Li Yulan, who was serving tea, "Go, let your mother hurry up and set up a banquet ......" As he was talking, all the distant relatives and neighbors in the village came to congratulate him. He was happy and quietly told Tian: "Don't be afraid to spend money, you must do it decently." ”

Taking advantage of the crowd, Jiang Feng also quietly slipped out, came to Li Yulan's side, and said with a shy face: "Yulan, I'll help you if you want to do something." ”

Li Yulan pursed her lips and smiled, "I don't need you." There is no way to ask the guests to help. Come inside! ”

He pouted boredly: "The house is full of adults, it's boring, so I won't go!" ”

The two of them talked. I heard Tian come out of the back room and instructed Li Xuewu to take the silver and hurry to Erdaogangzi to buy pork and pork knuckle, "Buy more." Come back quickly, you can't let Zhang Sanzi accompany you. "And commanded the Zhang family." Hurry up and kill a chicken, soak it in mushrooms, and let Tian'er and Qiao'er come out to help. ”

Zhang said loudly: "There are so many people, it's not good to let Tian'er and Qiao'er come out." Their father is now a man, and the girl has to avoid suspicion when she is older. "I remember who said that big families are like this.

Tian took a sip of her. "Phew, don't be pretentious. Don't eat when you lift people? You don't let them help, there are so many people in the house, who can't be laughed at? ”

Li Xiaotian came out of the room and said obediently: "Sister, my sister and I are also here to help, what are we doing?" ”

Tian smiled and touched her hair, "It's still my sweet and sensible, so let's do it, you little sisters wash the vegetables, peel the potatoes, peel the green onions, and watch and do it yourself!" ”

The family is busy.

Li Yihe sighed, cheered up to help his father entertain the guests, and asked Li Xiaoran to go back and cut some vegetables, "...... This is a big deal, let your mother come over to help. ”

Fu handed Li Xiaotong to his mother to help watch, and he brought Wang Zhi'er over to help, Li Yihai heard the news in the town, and also took his wife and children to find Li Yijiang to come back together, and the two bought live fish from the town, and the meat was brought back.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who had a good relationship with the Li family all came over to help, borrowed stools and tables, and set up six tables in the courtyard, and two more tables in the house. The cellar is stocked with some beans, eggplants and other vegetables that can be stored, although they are not very fresh, and they are better than always eating Chinese cabbage and potatoes. Coupled with the green vegetables brought by Li Xiaoran, and the various meats made from the meat he bought, the dishes on the table are still very rich.

The banquet did not take place for three days, because it was a busy farming season, everyone drank that night, and at noon the next day, the letter sent by Li Yiyuan also arrived, saying that he was going to take the silver and go directly to Shengjing, so he would not go home.

Li Laoshi looked at his beard and smiled, "The boss's enthusiasm for learning, no one in my family can compare." ”

Li Yihe took fifty taels of silver, Li Laoshi took another fifty taels of silver, and Li Yufen took twenty taels from the county, and Li Yihe was also forced by his father to give ten taels of silver, and made up one hundred and thirty taels of silver for Li Yihai to bring to Li Yiyuan. One hundred and eighty taels of silver is not much but not a lot, and besides, he still has dozens of taels of silver in his own hand, if he does not squander it, it will be enough.

When Li Yihai was about to set off, Li Yihe secretly brought him fifty taels of silver, and asked him to keep it "to buy some gifts for his younger siblings and Die'er", and now there are four brothers, and only he is the most strapped for money.

Li Yihai is worried, his study is now provided by the second brother, his wife and daughter's eating, drinking and chewing are used by the light of the three brothers of the Li family without additional expenses, and his wife Qian took over Ran'er's work to do the first flower, and then earned some silver, but there is no income, so he can only sit and eat.

When he went to Shengjing, he couldn't ask his eldest brother for silver if he wanted to buy something, the silver given by the second brother was really timely.

Li Yiyuan saw that it was Li Yihai who came to send the silver, and saw his father's letter and asked him to take him to Shengjing, although he felt inconvenient, but first, he was not good at disobeying his father's wishes, and secondly, he also needed someone to rent a house to help deal with chores.
