130 Distinguished guests visited
Thinking that the Luo family had rehearsed it in advance before coming, Mrs. Luo cried straight into the doorway, and the little girl who was still holding a searchlight just now scanned all over the Guan family and cried bitterly:
"Cousin, can't you bear to see the old man cry like this at such an age?"
Yun Ying really admires the wonderful acting skills of this old and young man, but it's a pity that she knows that if she gives such a person the first time, there will be a second and third time, and this face is resolutely not giving. However, before refusing, Yun Ying also felt that she should listen to Man'er's opinion, after all, psychologically she is an "outsider" who has traveled from another world, Man'er is a native of this era, in case she wants to help one or two.
Thinking of this, Yun Ying gently pinched Man'er, believing that Man'er, who didn't care about small things and big things, would give her reaction.
Sure enough, after receiving her hint, Man'er pinched her back, and said crisply: "Cousin, you don't persuade grandma not to cry and hurt your body, but cry together, it's hard for you to bear to cry with our grandma." ”
When Yun Ying heard this, she took over the conversation firmly, "Man'er, you didn't know anything back then. Our mother once said that she is a child without a father or mother, and there has never been a mother's family to move the confinement at home. "This matter has been taken out by Da Roche a few years ago. Yun Yingniang is a angry bag in her mother's family, and she has a very unsatisfactory life after marriage, Luo Dazhuang and Luo Zhang have never had this daughter, but now they want to reach out to their granddaughter.
Luo Zhang's temperament is straightforward, although he is cheeky, but after all, there are no twists and turns, what Yun Ying said is true. On weekdays, because of this, Luo Zhang's family basically didn't dare to go to Lijia Village, because the Yang family, who was a matchmaker, would scold her so bloody. Thinking of the Yang family, Luo Zhang's subconsciously looked at the door, the Yang family's reputation in ten miles and eight villages is loud, if she catches her mouth, it will really be faceless and skinless in the future.
Luo Dazhuang's temperament was about to calm down, Luo Zhang's stage fright was seen by him, and he hurriedly launched the second plan; Pulling Luo Zhang's behind him, he pretended to sigh deeply, "Lotus flowers." Grandpa knows that you are wronged. But so many years have passed. Let's have a tight life. I wanted you to get some relief, but now it'......"
Speaking of this, Luo Dazhuang deliberately paused with his hands behind his back and glanced at the room where Xiao Li and Jia had disappeared. I glanced at Guan Ping's study again. Shen mysteriously lowered his voice and said, "Yuanhua, you don't have a good time in the Guan family, right?" ”
Yun Yingzheng felt that this grandfather was somewhat reasonable. But before she could finish sighing, the old man changed his words, "Man'er, this girl is not bad." It's just a little younger. What do you think of your cousin Luo Caixia? is only three months younger than you, so it is better for you to keep her by your side to help, and let her be fed and clothed on weekdays. ”
Yun Ying didn't react for a while, how could the old man's words of giving it away be so mysterious, or the little fat dun with a snot next to him said in a word: "Master, it's not enough to eat and clothe." Caixia said that she would be an aunt who could take charge of the family, and she would have what I wanted to eat when the time came. ”
Yun Ying realized what the so-called "help" meant, she really admired the calculation of the Luo family, and it seemed that she really couldn't have high hopes for these relatives. She can't do it like a shrew, but she still has to defend her rights bravely, and even asked Luo Dazhuang: "Grandpa, do you mean that?" ”
Luo Dazhuang's old face turned red, and he gave the little fat dun who spoke a chestnut, and his posture of being a thief was clear at a glance; However, Luo Caixia, who was still looking around at the living environment just now, looked Yun Ying up and down with a disgusted expression of "you have earned it" and said: "Cousin, it's not that you are a sister, Guan Xiucai is a person with any identity, you are still dressed like this, and you don't feel stumbling." That was your aunt just now, right? Dress much more decently than you do. If I come in and help you, it won't be long before you'll be better dressed than her. ”
"Cousin Caixia, my Guan family brother-in-law's family doesn't have the money to buy a subordinate like you to enter the door. Didn't grandpa and grandma just say that life couldn't go on? If you are sold to a large family as a domestic helper, you will have to exchange it for ten or two taels of silver. I can also borrow some for my seventh brother to take the children's exam, it's a big deal that the seventh brother will pay you twice as much in the future. Man'er's mouth is poisonous and unforgiving, and she completely speaks Yun Ying's heart.
"Who's going to sell their sons and daughters!" Judging from Luo Zhang's thunderous appearance, this Luo Caixia's status in her heart is like Qiao Yuanhui's status in Li's heart. ”
Yun Ying didn't hear her last muttering, and said bluntly: "Now that the Guan family is short of money, if grandma is willing to sign a deed of sale for Caixia, I can take it, if Brother Guan Ping is still short of silver taels in the next year, then I can be the master and sell Caixia for some silver." ”
"You're beautiful! Exchange our Caixia for silver, you can figure it out. Old man, go, this girl is a white-eyed wolf. Luo Zhang's family was so angry with Yun Ying that he was about to leave.
The eldest child who came with him was still fine, and the two little ones didn't get any benefits, so they immediately sat down on the ground and kicked their feet and cried loudly, saying that it was not an exaggeration to say that the magic sound pierced the brain.
"Miss Yunying, this is a few pieces of clothes that my wife asked me to take out for my in-laws' grandmother and put five taels of silver, saying that I wanted my in-laws and grandpa to buy something to eat and replenish their bodies." Xiao Li put the things in her hand at the door, among them was a muslin blue dress that she was still wearing on her body just now, and Luo Caixia broke free of Luo Zhang's hand and leaned forward:
"This sister, are you busy with family affairs? My mother has an embroidery pattern that is the most fashionable pattern in spring grass spinning, can I come to you to play in my spare time? ”
This topic is well grasped, the good things in the spring grass spinning have always been favored by the housekeepers and maids in the big families in the town, and Xiaoli is also worried because she may not see good patterns when she comes to the countryside, so Luo Caixia sent it to the door; He immediately nodded, "Cheng." "Anyway, Xiao Li looked at Yun Ying's face and knew that the people in front of her were all blocking Yun Ying, Sister Yuanhui was a celebrity in front of Miss, and if she offended Sister Yuanhui, she would offend her Xiao Pear.
This home. It's really not the flower that calls the shots! This is the same consensus that Luo Dazhuang and Luo Zhang's are now, anyway, they don't have to talk to their families, although they didn't get any benefit from being angry in Yunying's place, but the silver taels that Xiaoli put on the ground are really beneficial; The old couple suddenly laughed from ear to ear, and kept saying that they were going to the main room to thank their in-laws.
Xiaoli changed her clothes, and was taught a few words by the Jia family, plus she was from a big family, so she was very handy in dealing with the Luo Zhang family, and she put the Yunying sisters and Gu Banniang aside for a while.
Gu Banniang looked at the silver that Luo Zhang's received in her arms, and her back molars were about to jump! and Jia's adjacents for so many years. In addition to selling Yunying, she got five taels of silver. hasn't taken out half a penny from Jia's hand. He glared at the sloppy Yun Ying, snorted and turned out of the yard.
Naturally, the Jia family will not be able to follow the Luo Zhang family. Luo Zhang and the others were afraid of bumping into the Yang family when they got the benefits. A few polite words. The group went happily, leaving Xiao Li on the edge of the corridor and the Yunying sisters in the courtyard staring at each other.
Jia didn't come out for lunch, and even Guan Ping ordered Xiao Ma to come to the kitchen and take a serving. Yunying and Man'er were left in the kitchen. The two sisters sat opposite each other, and after a while, Man'er sighed heavily.
"Let's eat, look at your young age and sigh, beware of being a bad old woman." Yun Ying picked two shredded pork sticks into Man'er's bowl and poked the corn residue mixed with rice in her bowl. Jia Shi said that the corn residue was coarse, and Guan Ping didn't eat much, but Yunying liked to eat coarse grains, and added a little to the rice every meal.
"Sixth sister, it was me and the seventh brother who dragged you down." Man'er's good appetite disappeared at this time, and two tears fell into the meal when she buried her head. The sixth sister is the most capable and best girl in the world in her and the seventh brother's hearts.
"What kind of stupid thing to say, the sixth sister has not suffered any grievances." Yun Ying choked in her heart, and took a bite of rice to hide the ups and downs of her mood.
Man'er simply pushed away the bowl very seriously, and looked at Yun Ying seriously: "Really, if you don't think that Seventh Brother and I can live better, Sixth Sister, where can you use Aunt Jia and Brother Guan Ping everywhere?" It is they who are in the midst of blessings and do not know blessings. ”
"Yo, Man'er can use idioms." Yun Ying deliberately rubbed Man'er's delicate face happily, and when she found that she couldn't get rid of the seriousness on her face, she withdrew her hand and said in a low voice: "Man'er eat, Sixth Sister knows it." "At least, she hasn't revealed anything about Qishan, and Qiao Quan, who must know one or two, won't be so gossipy.
"Sixth sister, the third aunt said that she would not let the seventh brother go. When I grow up, I will help Uncle Quan hatch chicks to earn money, you don't have to worry about us so much. With that, Man'er glanced at the main room, pricked up her ears to listen to the little pear chirping in the room over there, not knowing what she was saying, and stuck out her tongue: "And Aunt Jia has a little maid to wait, and I don't have to listen to her every day in the future, to be honest, it's really boring to be with her." If I hadn't been with you more, I wouldn't have been here a long time ago. ”
This was the first time Man'er revealed her heart, which surprised Yun Ying, and then there was boundless guilt. She just wanted to do a good job of the outside and improve the quality of life of her family, but she ignored the real needs of Man'er and Yuangen.
"Sixth sister, why are you crying? I was wrong, I will still come over every day to take care of Aunt Jia and talk to Aunt Jia, don't be angry. Man'er also panicked, blaming her for seeing Aunt Jia's different attitude towards the sixth sister today, she added a blockage in her heart, so she said what she thought in her heart.
"No, the sixth sister is not angry. The sixth sister feels sorry for you and Yuangen. Two such understanding younger siblings, how could Yun Ying not dare to move, she took the frightened Man'er into her arms, rested her chin on the top of her head and promised word by word: "Man'er really doesn't have to come over often to help with things in the future, if you want to be the sixth sister, come over and have a look." After Brother Guan Ping's exam next year, the sixth sister will take you and Yuangen to a good place. "If Lixia doesn't come back, it's no wonder that she wants to occupy the magpie's nest.
In the afternoon, the remote courtyard of the Guan family unexpectedly welcomed two more distinguished guests: Li Changhai and Li Yinfeng.
The two of them got off the carriage in a carriage at the door of the village chief's house, and the village chief and the village chief's daughter-in-law were so excited that they were almost speechless, who knew that Li Yinfeng opened his mouth to let the village chief's daughter-in-law lead the way to visit Xiucai's mother at the Guan family.
After a short period of loss, the village chief and the village chief's daughter-in-law quickly lifted their minds, Guan Xiucai's family is now a family with a head and a face in Lijia Village, and the young master and young lady of the Li Mansion can only show that the Guan family is getting richer and richer, and the richer the Guan family is, the more opportunities will be brought to Lijia Village and to him, the village head.
On the sand along the road, clumps of corn forests that are about to be fully ripe leap into the eyes of everyone. Li Yinfeng was inexplicably excited, and didn't pay attention to the flattery of the village chief and his wife, but Li Changhai was lazy and smiling, chatting with the village chief, and talking about the corn that grew well on the sandy land.
Speaking of this, the village chief praised the Guan family again, "The third young master doesn't know, this corn has been planted in our Lijia Village since the year before last, and the first one to plant is Guan Xiucai's family, in the end, it is Xiucai who has studied, the corn harvest planted by the family is really not bad when he opens an acre of sandy land, last year, this year, many people in the village followed the planting, and many people have eaten a full meal." ”
"The 'corn' that was planted the year before last?" Li Changhai's lazy and half-closed eyes suddenly flashed a bright color, you know, the word "corn" has only been heard of in Asahi City this year, and he has also heard the little prince of the prefect's family say that this corn was called "Golden Tree" before, and it was ordered by General Zhenxi to be presented to the emperor the year before last. After a year of trial planting in the capital, it was renamed "corn" and began to be promoted throughout the country, and it only arrived in Asahi City this year.
Where did Village Chief Li know so many twists and turns, and touched his head: "Isn't it, last year, Qiao Chengtong's family didn't even ask for your family's rented land, and the whole family pounced on a few acres of corn in the mountains and sands, and at that time, the people in our village were still watching his family's jokes; Who knew that hundreds of catties of corn were harvested on one acre of land, a small half of the seeds were left, and the rest was taken to the town's Zhenweiju for dozens of taels of silver. It's a pity that the Guan family has few hands, and even if the two Qiao brothers help work, they only harvest more than two acres. However, I saw that the Guan family and Qiao Chengtong's family had different crops in the field this year, and I was going to ask, and I also walked ahead to earn a few silver. ”
"New crops? What is your name? What does it look like? Before Li Changhai returned to Baijiaji, he seemed to have heard the prefect's little prince mention that it seemed that after the autumn harvest, there would be a kind of seed called "rapeseed" that would be distributed, and a notice would be issued in the city to teach people how to sow seeds and manage the harvest.
"I really don't know the name, but I heard that the fruit grows can produce oil, and the taste is more mellow than lard." Village Chief Li mainly took advantage of the good relationship between his daughter-in-law and the Yang family, otherwise how would he know so much. (To be continued......)
