In the past few years, Yun Ying has traveled back and forth between Baijiaji and Lijia Village alone, and even farther away, she has traveled alone, so she doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with saying this.

But Guan Ping is different, he has been in the bustling Asahi City for nearly four years, and he has the ideas and concepts instilled by countless people around him, over time, he also feels that a young girl like Yun Ying should abide by women's morality and remember the "Female Commandment", he immediately felt a little unhappy, frowned and asked:

"Is Uncle Qi still waiting for you outside the town?"

"Where? When is it, why is Uncle Qi still here? Isn't there a mountain road to walk? Yun Ying replied with a grin, stretched out his hand and pushed the worried Yuangen, and instructed:

"Yuangen, hurry up and go in, the sixth sister just wants to tell you not to worry about the money for the exam, I have earned it."

"Sixth Sister ......" Compared with three or four years ago, Yuangen is not a young child who doesn't know anything, his precocious kung fu to see people's faces is improving day by day, Yun Ying didn't see Guan Ping's unhappiness, but he intuitively felt that Guan Ping was angry, thinking that his sister was the daughter-in-law of the Guan family, but in front of Guan Ping here, she said that she was earning money to give herself an exam, pursed her lips, and suddenly turned to Guan Ping and said:

"Brother-in-law, it's very hard for my sixth sister to earn money for us to study." To the effect that you don't forget that you can have such a day, my sixth sister is indispensable, don't bully her.

"This ......" Guan Ping's heart really softened, and he also pushed Yuangen: "Brother-in-law knows it, you go in quickly." ”

Seeing Yuangen's somewhat heavy back disappear, Yun Ying was still a little ignorant, and turned to Guan Ping and said angrily: "Brother Guan Ping." Do you feel that Yuangen is old-fashioned, not at all like a child who is almost ten years old? ”

"Did you look like a ten-year-old child when you were ten?" Thinking of Yun Ying's figure of carrying a big backpack on the mountain road with difficulty, thinking of Yun Ying's sweaty work in the pepper field under the scorching sun, and remembering that she didn't know how much she had tasted in order to sell the poisonous red fruit for silver, Guan Ping's expression slowly softened. After sorting out the burden behind him, he took the lead and walked in the direction of leaving the town:

"Yunying, let's go home."

"Okay," Yun Ying raised her heel and touched the silver ticket in her arms, the corners of her mouth kept upturning. Can be out of town soon after. She couldn't laugh anymore.

Although Guan Ping will not talk from the top of Yun Ying's head to the soles of his feet like Jia Shi. But he would quote scriptures to tell her that a woman can't walk around alone, the Guan family is different now, and if there is anything that needs to be bought and sold, it can be dragged to the people in the village, and there is no need for Yun Ying to go out in person.

And then it's about the West Mountain. Today's production is enough to cover the family's temporary expenses. A little girl like Yun Ying can leave all things to a day job. There's no need to go to the field and get sunburned like a human shape......

Guan Ping is worthy of being a talent who is about to participate in the examination, and he teaches people with a few obscure poems from time to time, and Yun Ying couldn't help but reply after listening to it:

"Brother Guan Ping. I know all this, and I'll pay attention to it later. Originally, Yun Ying really wanted to reply to him: If I don't go out to earn money, how will I deal with the expenses of my family and you? just thought that Guan Ping was going to try, and besides, all his verbosity was just out of concern, so he reluctantly suppressed his unhappiness and changed it to promise.

"Just pay attention." Guan Ping nodded with satisfaction, and also changed the subject: "Mother's body is okay?" How was the harvest in the fields this year? ”

"My mother-in-law's body is still the same, but she always wants me to go to Niangniang Temple to give more money, so that you can go to high school this time." Yun Ying paused when she said this, and did not tell Guan Ping that the "charity point" that Jia Shi said was not a star and a half, and it was almost worth a year's harvest in the fields of others. Fortunately, the things she planted on the land in Xishan could be one year ahead of other families, so that she could earn more, but according to estimates, these silver coins were only enough for Guan Ping to go to the capital this time.

Guan Ping, who only listened to Yun Ying's half-section answer, was also quite happy, "Mother's body is thanks to your careful care." The conversation changed again, "The corn harvest is not very good this year, right?" ”

"Huh? Why did Brother Guan Ping say that? In addition to corn, Yunying's field is also interplanted with sweet potatoes, but she doesn't plan to make another windfall on corn. The price of corn this year is more than half lower than last year, but fortunately, the yield is good, if you keep it for food, I believe that no one in Lijia Village will go hungry. Yun Ying just wondered how Guan Ping, who was studying in Asahi City, knew about this.

Guan Ping smiled and said a little proudly: "The news of Baijiaji is spreading a little slowly. You don't know, it turns out that the emperor let people try to plant the 'Golden Tree' after the 56th year of Tengyun's meeting, and then probably heard some news and named it 'corn'. This year, it has also spread to Asahi City, and with a large amount of planting, the price of corn at home will definitely be affected. ”

"Brother Guan Ping said it so well." Yun Ying saw that Guan Ping, who was so high-spirited, also had the heart to give him some confidence, and did not tell the real situation, anyway, he was basically a hands-off shopkeeper in the past two years. No, it doesn't matter if he shakes his hand at the shopkeeper, he just stretches out his hand and asks Jia for silver, paying tuition, room and board, and registration fees. Thinking about the high return after the investment, Yun Ying once again warned herself in her heart to work hard.

The two chatted about the day, the twenty-mile mountain road only walked for an hour, and when they crossed the Anlan Bridge, the sky had just darkened, and the people who were enjoying the shade at the door of the village chief's house raised their eyes and saw two young people entering the village one after the other, and immediately greeted one after another:

"Brother Guan is back? No wonder Yun Ying wasn't here this afternoon, she went to the town to pick up her husband? Look at the two little looks of affection and love, when will you invite the people in the village to have a drink? ”

In the eyes of the villagers, Yun Ying and Guan Ping are now just a meal away from a hall wine. Child daughter-in-law is a miscellaneous rule that does not need to be set big or small, which saves the man a lot of money; But at the same time, the status of child daughters-in-law will not be high in the husband's family.

However, this pair can be different in the Guan family. Although Guan Ping failed in the next two sessions, the fifty-sixth year was when he had just gained fame for showing talent, and even if he was a prodigy, it was impossible for him to complete the next course in less than half a year; In the fifty-eighth year of the examination, Guan Ping's knowledge was praised by everyone, but after arriving in the capital, he fell seriously ill, although he insisted on going to the examination room, but in the end he still missed the lift.

Next year, 60 years will be in the clouds, and there will be notices posted in various towns and villages. This time, there will be more admissions than in previous years, and Guan Ping is a popular candidate in the eyes of hundreds of schools, from the head of the academy to every student. Therefore, Yun Ying is a child daughter-in-law, and she is also a child daughter-in-law of the old man, and her value is naturally different. If the Guan family can come up with some silver to dredge and donate an official to Guan Ping, Yun Ying will be the official's wife!

Guan Ping is a real young man, his face was hot when he heard such ridicule, and somehow he felt a little unhappy in his heart, the people of Lijia Village had never been in his eyes. Quicken the pace and turn onto the path home, I didn't hear footsteps behind me, and when I turned around, I found that Yun Ying didn't know when she stopped at the door of the village chief's house, and was talking to the village chief's daughter-in-law, so she couldn't help but shout:

"Yun Ying, it's getting late, let's go back."

When Yunying trotted to catch up, Guan Ping then complained: "I will have to deal with these people less in the future." Let's close the door differently, don't lose your reputation in vain. ”

"They all live in the same village, and the Li family's aunt also helps me a lot on weekdays, just now she just asked me if I could add vegetables to corn paste." Yun Ying doesn't agree with Guan Ping's concept on this point, but Guan Ping and Jia have always been proud of today's "family", and she has persuaded them several times but has not been able to change their thinking.

"The three aunts and six mothers-in-law just want to listen to some after-dinner conversations, so it's better to have less contact." Guan Ping reprimanded with a face.

"Got it." Yun Ying thought of the village chief's daughter-in-law complaining in front of her just now. Although Qiao Yuanfu lived in the town and had a backer, when it was time to take the test for Xiucai, Qiao Hammer still went home and stretched out his hand to the Li family; He didn't ask for much, but half of them were fifteen taels of silver.

Qiao's family also planted corn, but because of Qiao Chengyin and Qiao Shishi's caution, they only started planting this year and the area is not large, I heard that more than half of it has been sold for Qiao Yuangui's examination, so Gan's and Muham's joined forces to quarrel with Xiao Li's. Who knew that this fight didn't make the two of them get the benefits, but instead led Qiao Hammer's family out, and now, Qiao Chengyin and his wife are going to be embarrassed again.

Guan Ping will go home this time to stay until the beginning of next year, and go out to return to the county school on the twelfth day of the first month, and then go to the capital with his classmates from the county school. Of course, staying at home during this time was not in vain, in addition to studying hard behind closed doors, I also had to visit the teachers and classmates.

That night, as soon as these arrangements were told in front of Jia and Yun Ying, Yun Ying's troubles came again.

Jia also knew that the family's money was limited, but he felt distressed when he thought that his son would go out to visit his teachers and friends, and even have to carry the gifts by himself; Thinking about the students and scholars in her memory, who didn't have one or two servants waiting by her side. So, after not sleeping all night, she summoned Yun Ying to the main room early the next morning and gave a serious order:

I have to arrange a waiting person for Guan Ping! At worst, it is necessary to have a scholar.

"Scholar?" Yun Ying looked at Jia's serious face with some embarrassment and chewed these two words in her mouth.

"Yes, in fact, this scholar should have started looking for it when Ping'er was admitted to Xiucai, but where to buy a literate and hyphenation in such a big place as Baijiaji." Jia nodded as a matter of course.

Yun Ying was entangled in her heart, and continued to unconsciously follow the chanting: "Do you still want to read and hyphenation? ”

"Exactly. Ping'er has also been in Asahi City for a long time, and you can go out with him another day to see if you can meet the right person; It's really not good......" Speaking of this, Jia Shi suddenly hesitated, "It's really not good, Ping'er will let Yuangen follow him when he goes to the capital this time, so he can gain a little knowledge." ”

Let the distant roots follow? Yun Ying's apricot eyes widened suddenly, and her black grape-like eyes were full of shock: "Mother-in-law, what did you say?" In the blink of an eye, she swept around, glad that Man'er hadn't come from Qiao's family this morning, otherwise Yun Ying really didn't know how to deal with herself, she really couldn't imagine that Jia would say such a thing.
