113 Bottoming out each other
Although it takes a whole day to travel from Asahi Castle to Baijiaji, it is also safe along the way because of the remoteness of the road.
Li Yinfeng's words about having a man feel safer are completely empty words. has lived in the county for so long, and Li Yinfeng has seen either a young master who is a young master who is a hanger, or a shrewd businessman who calculates everywhere, and there are few two men she can look at, and she is not worthy. She will turn sixteen in the next year, and she is full of calculations, knowing that it is right for her to choose a wishful husband.
Sitting in the carriage with Qiao Yuanhui, Li Yinfeng's thoughts flew to Guan Ping outside the curtain.
Qiao Yuanhui is a person who knows how to look at eyes, otherwise he would not have successfully squeezed away the maid who grew up with Li Yinfeng, and then became Li Yinfeng's most trusted person. You only need to take a look at Li Yinfeng as far as her eyes can see now, and you can know what kind of brains she is using.
I didn't plan to interfere, but I suddenly remembered that Guan Ping was still my nominal brother-in-law, why could that dead girl be so good? Rolling her eyes twice, she came to Li Yinfeng's side and dragged her, and said in a low voice: "Miss, the slave maid and Guan Gongzi are from the same village, and I don't know what the situation at home is if I haven't been back for a few years?" Can the slave ask about the situation at home? ”
Li Yinfeng was worried that there was no reason to talk to Guan Ping, how could it be unreasonable to hear the words; And the maid wanted her to ask her if she wanted to say two words from her fellow villagers, which also made her a little more satisfied with Qiao Yuanhui, and nodded: "Don't patronize and ask about your own family affairs, so you should greet others first." ”
Qiao Yuanhui smiled silently, and opened the curtain slightly, so that Li Yinfeng could clearly see Guan Ping's upright back.
"Guan Ping. How did you end up in the county seat? When Qiao Yuanhui left from Lijia Village, Guan Ping had just gone to the academy to resume classes, and at this time, in order to facilitate his return to his hometown, Guan Ping did not wear a scarf on his head that symbolized the identity of Xiucai, otherwise he would not be despised before the carriage and horses.
"I've been studying at Asahi Academy, and next month is the time for the children's examination and the prefectural examination, and the academy will have a month off." Guan Ping turned his head slightly and replied politely, and by the way, he reached out and pushed aside the branches that stretched out on the carriage on the side of the road, so as not to hurt Qiao Yuanhui, who lifted the curtain, this small action called "gentlemanly demeanor" by Yun Ying immediately exchanged for more favor from Li Yinfeng.
For fear that Qiao Yuanhui would open the topic in the next sentence, Li Yinfeng simply went into battle in person: "Guan Gongzi is really not simple. I heard that only the best talents from each township can enter the Asahi Academy for further study. I didn't expect Guan Gongzi to win this honor at a young age. Lingzun Lingtang must be overjoyed to have such a promising son as you. ”
Li Yinfeng's words are not compliments. Thinking that the Li family is now a wealthy family in Asahi City, Li Changhai's study is the Li family's heart disease. More than three years ago, Li Changhai was forcibly taken to Asahi City to find three masters to teach behind closed doors for several months, and finally let Li Changhai get lucky to be admitted to Xiucai.
The Li family heard that Asahi Academy was the best academy in Asahi City. Of course, he wanted Li Changhai to enter Asahi Academy for further study. But Asahi Academy has a stinky rule: no matter how many silver taels anyone makes. Students are assessed by Asahi Academy. As long as they think that you don't want to take the exam, then you won't even be able to get close to the door of Asahi Academy. Li Changhai didn't have much talent for studying, but after coming to Asahi City, his business made a few orders. Naturally, it can't get into the eyes of the people of Asahi Academy.
I also felt honored to be able to go to Guan Ping of Asahi Academy, but Li Yinfeng mentioned Guan Orion, that is, his untouchable pain, glanced at Li Yinfeng, and said with a serious expression: "Miss Li praised it falsely." My father has passed away for many years, and if there is a spirit under Jiuquan, I will definitely feel relieved to hear Miss Li's praise like this; My mother felt that she was not good enough to do well, and if she passed the examination next year, she would be considered a qualified good son in her mind. ”
Qiao Yuanhui knew that Guan Ping in front of him was actually a student of Asahi Academy, and he was surprised and even more angry, why was the flower so lucky, and she could meet someone so good when she was sold to someone else as a child daughter-in-law! No matter how smart he looks, he is not bad, but he is a low-level and careful maid!
Glancing at Li Yinfeng, whose cheeks were crimson, Qiao Yuanhui suddenly said: "If Guan Gongzi you pass the exam, then isn't my sister Yuanhua the ......?" Qiao Yuanhui deliberately didn't say the latter sentence, the former "Guan family boy" has become a famous "son", and the cousin who has always looked down on him is already a talented lady, which makes people feel embarrassed.
"Flowers? Who is Lotus Flower? What does it have to do with Guan Gongzi's examination? Li Yinfeng felt that the name of Tiaohua was quite familiar, and he felt that the relationship between this person and Guan Ping was not simple, and he had to figure it out.
"Miss doesn't know. Lotus is the cousin of the slave maid when she is at home. At the beginning, in order for the slave brother and cousin to be able to successfully conduct the scientific examination, the elders of the family made the decision to sell the slave and the maid. The slave maid was lucky, and when she met the third young master, she went to the village to pick people, so that she could be blessed to serve the young lady; And Sister Tiaohua was bought back by Guan Gongzi's mother for money because of her ability to do things, and she said that she would be a child daughter-in-law for Guan Gongzi at that time. If Guan Gongzi is named on the gold list, wouldn't the cousin of the slave maid ascend to the sky in one step, and it will be better than the life of the slave maid......"
When Qiao Yuanhui said this, she suddenly seemed to feel that she had said something wrong, and covered her mouth with one hand and said softly: "The slave is not right, the young lady is a blessed person, if she can be a champion lady in the future, won't the slave and the maid also rise with the tide?" Guan Gongzi is not a person yet, so he can't say it too early. ”
"Guan Gongzi, I don't know if you are with Yuanhui's cousin...... Is the flower married? Li Yinfeng was even more depressed after listening to Qiao Yuanhui's explanation, how could Guan Ping get married at a young age?
"Not really. My mother once said that when I got the title of Guan Ping's gold list, I would talk about family affairs, but now Yunying, that is, Yuanhua, is doing her best to serve her mother at home, and she will definitely not be treated lightly in the future. These words were said by the Jia family in front of Guan Ping, but they did not explicitly say that they wanted to marry Yun Ying. Guan Ping is devoted to studying, and has never been enlightened about the affairs of men and women, and he does not understand the deep meaning of Jia's words.
"Not to be treated?" Li Yinfeng read two sentences softly, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up, "Guan Gongzi and Ling Tang are really benevolent and benevolent. "Why don't you just buy a maid to wait at home, why do you have to say it so grandiosely.
Guan Ping had no intention of talking to the two of them, and turned around and talked to the old man who was driving the car about the customs of the towns and villages along the way; Instead, Li Yinfeng pushed Qiao Yuanhui: "Yuanhui, didn't you say that you want to ask about your family's situation?" Ask, after returning to Baijiaji, Miss Ben will allow you to go home to visit your relatives. ”
Qiao Yuanhui has completely lost contact with her family in the past few years, and it is false to say that she is not worried, so she took the opportunity to ask: "Guan Gongzi, I wonder if you can tell me the news of my grandfather and grandmother, father and mother?" And what is the situation of the cousins and cousins at home? Is my great-grandfather healthy? ”
"Great-grandfather Tengyun heard that Brother Yuangui and Yuanfu passed away when they were admitted to the Tongsheng Examination, and Brother Yuangui and Yuanfu missed the county exam that year; In fifty-eight years, he came to the county seat to participate in the county examination, but unfortunately he failed to return to the list; Next month, the two of them may fight again in the county test, hoping to succeed in one fell swoop. As long as there are families who study, they will pay special attention to this matter, and Guan Ping chose to start from here.
"Your father and the second uncle of the hammer completely separated after that. Yuanhai's sister-in-law added Qiao Erbao's nephew to your family, and at the beginning of the year, Yuanhai's sister-in-law added a niece Qiao Daya; Plus the grandparents still live in the old yard. Brother Yuanhong of the second uncle's family married the proprietress of Chuncao Spinning, and now he has taken over the second uncle and the second aunt to live in the town, and Sister Yuanfen is also married in the town, so she moved out of Lijia Village. There is also the grandfather's family, Uncle Golden Egg opened a restaurant in the town, and he has not yet married. The third grandfather's family also did a little business, and life was okay. ”
When Guan Ping was at home, Yun Ying would use these things to nag in his ear, and at this time, it was also reasonable, and he told the Qiao family all about the past two years in three or two sentences.
Qiao Yuanhui knew that his own family had a milk to take care of him, and he was the most comfortable among several families, but it sounded like other families seemed to mix well, especially the second uncle's family, how could they become the townspeople?
Spring grass spinning proprietress ?!
Wait a minute, Qiao Yuanhui's mind flashed the gorgeous makeup of Chuncao Spinning Chun Sanniang, she seems to be a widow, right? It's no secret that this thing is in Baijiaji, and it can't be that Chuncao Spinning has changed the boss? However, something doesn't sound right about "Niang".
"Guan Gongzi, the proprietress of Chuncao Spinning is called Chun Sanniang, right?" Qiao Yuanhui asked again in disbelief.
Guan Ping's mind came up with the she-wolf-like eyes when he went to the town to attend Qiao Yuanhong's wedding two years ago, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly: "It seems to be." "Anyway, the proprietress of Chuncao Spinning has never changed, and Guan Ping, who accompanied Yun Yunying to buy embroidery for her mother a few times, only knew that Qiao Yuanhong was married to a widow, but he was embarrassed to say such things.
"Can the second uncle and the second aunt agree?" Qiao Yuanhui is unbelievable, Chun Sanniang is at least thirty this year, how old is Qiao Yuanhong? Twenty-three or twenty-two?
How can Guan Ping answer this, some gossip women can tell, how can he say it as a big man? Anyway, there are some things that Qiao Yuanhui can know the answer to when he arrives at Baijiaji, and he can ask anyone casually, so he won't say much.
Naturally, it was impossible for Qiao Hammer and Luo to agree to the eldest son marrying a widow who was nearly ten years older than him, and the widow was dragging a ten-year-old daughter. It's just that Qiao Yuanhong wanted to climb the high branches, and he somehow got together with Chun Sanniang when he was in the midst of the filial piety, and he almost made a storm in and out of the house when he was alive or dead, and finally Qiao Hammer and Luo saw that the filial piety was about to end, so they had to hurriedly arrange a marriage for the two.
But afterwards, the whole family was happy. The huge place in the backyard of Chuncao Spinning is enough for their family to toss, and Qiao Yuanfen also married a small boss in the town who opened a grocery store, so Qiao Yuanfu's silver two for the exam no longer have to be embarrassed to borrow money from donkey rolling noodles.
