070 Who's First and Who's Last
The leader of this group of people is Li Changhai, the young master of Landlord Li's family! Why do you think he didn't study in the academy at this time, and what did he do in this rural place?
He himself was afraid that he couldn't explain why he was hurrying down. Two days ago, after accidentally listening to the argument between Qiao Yuanfu and Qiao Yuangui at the corner of the academy building, Li Changhai didn't feel comfortable in his heart.
Especially after letting the little monkey check it out and confirming that the two guys who calculated his uncle and daughter were really Yun Ying's cousins, he was even more calm! Listening to the final meaning of those two boys, Yun Ying is destined to be sold, according to the Li family's rules for buying and selling slaves, it is difficult for Yun Ying to be selected by the well-known Lu Xianxian, then the remaining one is the Qian Pozi who specializes in dirty things in the town.
Li Changhai is also clever, he just sent a little monkey to guard the door of Mrs. Qian's house when he was not manpowered, and sure enough, he waited for the arrival of Qiao Hammer, and then took the silver to pry open Mrs. Qian's mouth and learned the cause and effect of the matter, Li Changhai simply took the nurse and the brother and a little monkey to Lijia Village early this morning, and wanted to buy her before the Qiao family sent Yun Ying to Mrs. Qian.
Along the way, thinking that I could be Yun Ying's life-saving benefactor, I don't know what Yun Ying's expression will be? Li Changhai couldn't help urging all the way and all the way, and provoked the nurse Liu, who had learned everything, to comfort with a smile: "My young master, didn't you say that Mrs. Qian said that she could only get someone in the afternoon?" In the morning, the Qiao family is going to change their household registration. "Seriously, since I heard about Yunying's matter, Mother Liu didn't mention how sympathetic she was, and pulled the little monkey along the way to inquire about the matter again.
"What's so troublesome? If you buy someone, you can buy someone, and you can't buy or sell people under the age of 11. What is the difference between a nine-year-old and an eleven-year-old? has the ability to directly abolish this rule. "The road was bumpy. The mood of the young master of the Li family was also not very good.
"Buying and selling slaves is not the same as having children at home. Don't say this outside, if someone hears it, it will reach the ears of General Zhenxi. The Li family's business and land are gone. "The young man who drove the car was eighteen or nineteen years old, and he was Li Changhai's brother. has been helping the old and young masters of the Li family to drive to the county seat all the year round, and his knowledge is naturally not ordinary.
With such serious consequences? Li Changhai shut his mouth in disgust, and easily absorbed other people's suggestions.
Naturally, the carriage would not cross the Anlan Bridge and enter Lijia Village, but stopped at the Li family's manor in Lijia Village; Li Changhai took Liu Ma and the little monkey into the village. The little monkey was young, and he was not dressed like Li Changhai, and when he entered the village, he easily inquired about the address of Qiao's yard, and led Li Changhai straight upstream to Qiao's old yard amid the shouts of a group of children.
In the most magnificent house in Anlan Qiaotou, Village Chief Li was changing the household registration of Qiao Mutou and the Guan family, and when he heard the commotion outside, he couldn't help but ask his second son Li Nan beside him: "Why is it so noisy outside?" ”
Li Nan is an eighteen-year-old strong young man. But the temperament is extremely lazy, listening to the question, tiptoeing through the crack in the door and sneering: "A group of hairy children are fighting." ”
"That's right." A kind smile appeared on the chubby face of Village Chief Li: "Everyone Guan Ping has been admitted to the Tongsheng Examination, and they are about to take the Xiucai exam, and these hairy children in our village only know how to ride horses and fight all day long." Mu is a blessed man, and if your son-in-law becomes an official in the future, you must remember us fellow villagers. ”
The village chief laughed. The pride in Qiao Mutou's heart was simply indescribable, and he just thanked Village Chief Li with a wooden face, took the marriage certificate and two household registrations and went out of the door and walked downstream.
As everyone knows, after he left, Village Chief Li's kind face immediately lengthened, and he spat fiercely on the ground: "It doesn't count if you sell five daughters, this sixth child was only nine years old and sold to people as a child daughter-in-law." What are the requirements of Guan Pingniang? What can a crippled woman in the Guan family do with a scholar who can't carry his shoulders and can't lift his hands? This sixth man didn't know if he could wait until the day when Guan Ping got ahead. Besides. If he really gets ahead, how can Qiao Lao Liu be worthy of others! ”
"Dad, what are you doing so much in charge of people's homes? It's better to find a way to marry my daughter-in-law home as soon as possible. Li Nan stretched his waist and lazily shrunk to the Taishi chair in the courtyard, which made Village Chief Li feel angry: "What are you doing here?" Your mother took your eldest brother and sister-in-law to the ground. You're still nesting at home. Now go to the fields and hoe the grass, and I will go with you, and I will not be allowed to go home until the sun sets. ”
Village Chief Li and Li Nan went out one after another. Li Changhai had already been invited to the seat by the Qiao family, and the women naturally did not dare to step forward at this time. The Li family had to invite Liu's mother into the side room, and stretched her ears to listen to what Qiao Chengyin and Li Changhai said in the hall.
Li Changhai has not had much contact with the Zhuang family in Lijia Village. Before coming, the belly full of manuscripts was almost stillborn after seeing such a big battle, and Qiao Baisheng and Qiao Yuangui, who were urgently invited, suddenly felt relieved.
"Young Master Li?" Qiao Yuangui was waiting at home for Qiao Langtou to go out and change his household registration with Qiao Mutou, and heard the second brother say that there was a distinguished guest at home coming to greet him and asked him to come out to greet him, and he was still wondering if anyone from Qiao's family would come, and when he came out, he saw a figure sitting in his house wearing a satin shirt, and couldn't help but exclaim.
As one of the top 100 wealthy families, Li Changhai is extremely famous in the academy, Qiao Yuangui naturally recognized it at a glance, and felt flattered by his arrival: "You are here to find him?" ”
"It's not." Li Changhai shook his head, and then nodded heavily: "Yes!" ”
Qiao Yuangui was immediately excited, "I don't know what Young Master Li is looking for?" Do you need to talk to you about it later? ”
"No, just say it right here." Li Changhai turned around and looked around, unexpectedly looking at the pairs of eyes that were either inquisitive or amazed, and habitually hooked the corners of his mouth as a greeting; I didn't look at the person I wanted to see and couldn't help but be a little impatient: "Young Master Ben was planning to buy two maids, and I heard that someone in your family wanted to sign a deed of sale, so ......"
As soon as he said this, Qiao Hammer outside the door pinched the household registration book and entered the door; Qiao Yuangui took it casually, and said to Li Changhai diligently: "Exactly." If Young Master Li came one step late, maybe the sister would be taken away by the people, and it would be Yunying to meet Young Master Li...... Oh...... Yuanhui is fortunate in three lives. ”
Knowing that the Qiao family would let Yun Ying take the name "Qiao Yuanhui", Li Changhai was not surprised at all, seeing the flattering expressions of the Qiao family, he was a little unappetizing, or Yun Ying's sister and brother were more comfortable to get along with. In order to avoid having too many dreams at night, Li Changhai directly took out a whole ingot, about ten taels of silver, and put it on the Eight Immortals table in Qiao's room: "Okay, this Qiao Yuanhui has received it." You and I are both scholars, so you don't need to find someone else to write this contract, and after you write it, I will take it back to the town to find someone to go to the yamen to file a case. The day after tomorrow, you take the cloud ...... Qiao Yuanhui came to the Li Mansion to find Young Master Ben. ”
Ten taels of silver! It was two taels more than expected, and the Qiao family happily sent the God of Wealth out; Even if Li Shi wrapped his little feet, he rushed to the edge of the table of the Eight Immortals the fastest, stretched out his hand, grabbed it and put it to his mouth, and when he saw the clear tooth marks on it, he couldn't help but smile happily, wishing that the old lady's illness would drag on for a longer time this time.
Just as he was thinking about it, there was an earth-shattering coughing sound in the back room, accompanied by Qiao Baisheng's somewhat weak inquiry: "How much silver did you get?" ”
"Ten taels." Li didn't dare to hide it, so he reported it softly.
"Leave five taels for Fu'er to sign up, and give the other five taels to wood. I heard that the house he married is about to open up for the Qiao family again. "There is a reward for branching out, and Qiao Baisheng's values are always linked to the prosperity of people.
"Ah, isn't five taels too much? Fu'er will need three or four taels of silver to sign up for Mr. Rin's hand, and if you can go, the cost of the road and the exam will be a lot! If you pass the exam, you have to prepare some copper coins to reward people, right? Therefore, this silver can only be given three taels to wood. Li felt that these three taels were all cutting her flesh and skin alive, if it wasn't for being sold as someone else's daughter, these three taels would not want to kill her.
Seeing the happy appearance of the family, Qiao Langtou couldn't help but snatch the household registration from Qiao Yuangui's hand again: "Since it has been agreed with others, I have to hurry up my time." ”
"What are you doing?" Qiao Yuangui was actually not too happy, after all, the five taels of silver were not prepared for him.
"I just went out today, and before I walked to the village chief's house, I saw that kid from the Guan family and the Dong family having a quarrel. The kid of the Guan family can't make trouble, so he wants to move the rescuers, how dare I show him. As you know, the only way to go to the sand is to pass in front of Dong's house, and this delay, I hid behind the village chief's house for half an hour; Later, when I saw so many people walking towards our house, I thought something had happened, so I hurried back to take a look. Qiao Langtou raised the household registration in his hand while walking out the door, and the household registration had not been changed at all in the morning.
Besides, after Qiao Mutou, who had changed his household registration, went home and explained things to Jia's family, he was afraid that Li and others would be in a hurry, so he couldn't wait to tell Li and others about this "shrewd" good decision, which could be called a wild run all the way; When Qiao Hammer met him again at the door of Dong's house behind the village chief's house, he was so tired that he stretched his neck like a dirt dog and panted.
"Wood, have you waited a long time? It's just in time, bring the household registration, give it to me, I'll go to the village chief's house to change the household registration! Qiao Hammer greeted him excitedly, and it was a good thing to be able to walk half the distance less.
"Huhu...... No...... Huhu ...... "Qiao Mutou waved his hand again and again, and wanted to say a few more words, but he was so tired that he couldn't breathe, and he was panting uncomfortably while holding his body.
Qiao Hammer was tall and big, and he stepped forward and dragged the arbor and turned around and went to the village chief's house.
"No need to go...... Huhu ......" Qiao Mutou struggled to make it clear, but his throat just didn't listen.
It just so happened that Dong Dalang, who had quarreled with Guan Ping just now, turned out from the front, and said sharply: "The surname Guan, if the village chief is not at home at this time, Lao Tzu would have to invite him to drive you two out of the village!" dared to run to the door of Lao Tzu's house to provoke.
