203 Head to head
The old man Tang Zhuoran is nearly seventy years old, and he is a veteran of the Tengyun Three Dynasties, from being an official at the age of nineteen to now worrying about the court for nearly fifty years, and the official is a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion.
Since three years ago, Old Man Tang felt that he was not in good spirits, and he had already been disheartened by the court all his life, and he began to retreat. It's good to retreat, but Old Man Tang has no clan to rely on behind him, but there are many reliable disciples, but his old man doesn't want to touch the conspiracy and scheming again.
By chance, the old man Tang listened to Ning Beichuan talk about the border scenery and simple folk customs, and it was difficult to see a small night, and he couldn't help but yearn for it, and after saying to the regent last year, he took the initiative to contact Ning Beichuan to come to the northwest to retire, and asked Ning Beichuan to find a solid family with a simple population on his behalf, and was willing to enter the house as a master to worship.
Coincidentally, when this matter was mentioned, it was Feng Duyou's proposal, and Ning Beichuan had the intention to train him, a righteous son who rarely had contact with people, and with a stroke of the pen, the matter of finding the master's house for the old man fell on Feng Duyou. Feng Duyou was naturally impatient to put a shackle on himself, and there was a saying that "fat water does not fall into the fields of outsiders", and he directly thought of Qiao Yuangen, whom Yun Ying had often mentioned before. Recently, Xin Li's reports show that Qiao Yuangen was admitted as a ten-year-old child. Feng Duyou took Ning Beichuan Xiaoyin, took Qiao Yuangen's scroll, and after reading it, he directly asked people to send it to Old Man Tang.
Old Man Tang looked at the scroll in Yuangen, and learned that he was still a child with a hanging bun, so he moved his love for talent; Immediately agreed to the request of the wind alone, and after the spring warmth, the old couple only took a long follower from the capital to set off, and finally arrived at Lijia Village safely.
Considers. Lijia Village is easy to find and enter, and the women here are simply unreasonable. It was just a few words, and the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, who was able to fight the ministers in the court, couldn't say half a sentence to the gossip village woman. Mrs. Tang was born noble, and it was impossible for her to meet a group of village women, and she waited for most of her life to finally achieve her young wish to live in seclusion in the countryside, but she did not expect such an encounter in the countryside.
Rao is the only one carried by the couple, Mama Wang, who is in charge of housework, and there is no way to fight for half a cent of dignity in front of the unreasonable Li family and the little Li family. A "presumptuous" exit attracted a lot of ridicule.
"The gentleman and the lady have already arrived at the entrance of the village, and the little girl greets them late and asks for forgiveness." Yun Ying just inserted such a welcome word in the midst of everyone's laughter, and it fell with her words. Man'er also stepped forward to block in front of the Li family and the little Li family. He asked innocently: "Grandma, eldest uncle, second uncle, didn't you say that you have nothing to do with us after the separation?" Why do you want to drive Brother Qi's husband away, don't you want Brother Qi to also take the Xiucai exam? ”
Although the little girl's question is concise, it conveys several messages to Mrs. and Mrs. Tang: one. Qiao's family is not a family. It is true that the two "Qiao family" and these unreasonable rough women are their own ancestors and grandchildren. But the village woman can't make decisions about her children. Second, not only are these two Qiao families not the same, but they also sound a lot dirty. The elders actually prevent their grandson from becoming a talent, and his heart is disgraceful.
Old man Tang Zhuoran thought a lot at once, and finally could only sigh in his heart: This world is clear, I am afraid that no matter where I go, I will inevitably have to see the world and all kinds of calculations, this trip, whether to go or not?
Yun Ying's mind was almost all on Old Man Tang, as soon as he frowned, Yun Ying's heart chuckled, and his body was even more heavily pressed: "Little girl Qiao Yunying, thanks to the old gentleman who is willing to come to Lijia Village to teach his younger brother, I feel five guilty." Now that the sun is rising, I am afraid that the old man and Mrs. will make a mistake, so it is better to go home with the house-sister first and see the house-brother have a light meal before looking for something else. There is a misunderstanding here, and the little girl must deal with it properly. ”
Yun Ying also has no way, with the three-stirring sticks of the Li family here, no matter how open-minded people are, they will be angry and sick. Since Feng Duyou has introduced Mr. with such a confident look, this gentleman is not a mediocre person. Let's get it home first.
Before the sisters spoke, Yun Ying had divided the work, she stayed to deal with the aftermath, and Man'er had to take the old gentleman to the home downstream, hoping that the enterprising and intelligent Yuangen and the steady and powerful Hu San could give full play to their talents, so that the two old men and old ladies who looked very "stylish" could stay at home smoothly.
Yun Ying's rare tough performance did refresh part of the favorability in front of the old man Tang and his wife, this girl is upright, her eyes are clear and transparent, and she is by no means a slippery person; Although the little girl over there is young, she looks like a virgin under the Guanyin seat, which makes people feel good at first sight. Such a combination made the Tang family couple, who were very affectionate and not prosperous, also feel pity, and followed Yunying's steps to call Mama Wang, who was still there to confront the Li family, and followed Man'er to the downstream path.
Yun Ying let the three of them walk over and then took a step in the middle of the path, blocking Li Yinfeng's scrutinizing gaze, and bowed and said: "Thank you grandma and the two aunts for helping Yuangen to greet Mr. here today, and Yun Ying will come to the door again another day to thank you." Yun Ying didn't look at Li Yinfeng from beginning to end.
Seventeen-year-old Li Yinfeng belongs to the short and fat type, but Yun Ying is tall, she is fourteen years old today, she is almost a head taller than the sixteen-year-old Li Yinfeng, even if she is looking at Li Yinfeng, she can bring Li Yinfeng the illusion of contempt, Li Yinfeng was angry by her neglect, and immediately said sarcastically without thinking about it: "Sir? Miss Ben thinks that you have invited a 'first death' to enter the door, this is no silver, there is no silver, if the villagers ask to come to Miss Ben, Miss Ben will be able to give you a silver to invite a gentleman. ”
"Ouch, Miss Li's words really hurt our family. Miss Li is kind-hearted, and she knew that when our family Yuanfu and Yuangui went out, they should find Miss Li to turn over one or two, so as not to let the children be shy and have no money to reward their subordinates if they have fame. Luo's eyes lit up when she heard this, Li Yinfeng had become a Guan family wife, and she was rarely so close to people, she wished that she could find something to get together.
The Li family and the little Li family were a little troubled by Li Yinfeng because of Qiao Yuanhui's affairs, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were interested in aiming at Yun Ying together, "How much money did your father keep?" If you don't take it out to support your grandmother, what kind of gentleman will you invite to a child in Yuanne? Who knows how many books you've read when you're so old? I also carry two oil bottles, even if I die, won't it cost some money to bury the mat? I really don't have a person in charge, I spend a few taels of silver around me, and I don't give me the silver quickly, so I'm going to drive the old man away, and I'm stupid to count the silver when I'm deceived. ”
Li is naturally not stupid, although the old gentleman just now is old, he looks no weaker than his deceased father-in-law Qiao Baisheng, or even stronger; Although the old couple is not very outstanding, but the next person is wearing jewelry, such a person will not believe anyone if they want to ask for a few hundred dollars, right? I'm afraid that Qiao Mutou didn't do things too well, and kept silver taels for his son.
Yun Ying secretly said shamelessly, but he hesitated on his face: "Grandma doesn't know, the matter of asking Mr. for Yuangen is not our sister and brother's idea, and I didn't ask our three sisters and brothers to pay a penny." ”
"How can there be such a good thing? Your brother Yuangui and Brother Yuanfu didn't see our family after they were admitted to the children's examination, and they didn't go to the town to study as usual! I've asked someone before to ask for at least this number for a gentleman to come to my house! "Roche is the standard, the scar forgets the pain, as long as he thinks of the white flowers, he can't stop his eyes are full of stars, and any lessons are thrown aside. stretched out a hand, and his eyes glared at the boss: "Fifty taels of silver a year." ”
"Is it that expensive?" Yun Ying turned her eyes around the three aunts and six women in confusion, and found no trace of the village chief's wife and the Yang family, so it was no wonder that no one came out to play the round before.
"Don't you know? Who is in charge of your family? It can't be that brute, right? As soon as Li thought that a lot of silver had not been given to someone else without passing it out of her hands, he couldn't wait to step forward and wake up Yun Ying: this dead girl is too easy to coax.
"No, the home is far away from the Lord, outside of my Lord. But there is no difference between inside and outside, big and small, and besides, we still owe the third aunt a silver tael for building a house, and we will not have the money to pay off the debt until after the harvest this autumn. "Yun Ying deliberately pulled around, just didn't mention the matter of Mr.
Li had to sneer at Yun Ying's slippery belly, and asked again bluntly: "Then how much do you say you will give this bundle of silver to that old man?" ”
Yun Ying twisted her body slightly, with just the right shy expression on her face: "This granddaughter doesn't know, it's all ...... He helped with it. ”
"Who's going to do that? You'd better tell everyone about it. The more Li Yinfeng listened, the more suspicious he became. Guan Ping brought a lot of money with him when he left, and it was not impossible to keep some for Yun Ying quietly. Now that she is spitting and spitting, it is even more weird, thinking of Guan Ping's occasional leakage, Li Yinfeng can't wait to pinch Yun Ying's neck and make her admit that the silver is Guan Ping secretly relieving her. If this is the case, Li Yinfeng will have to make a move.
"It's ......, it's the gentleman invited by Yun Yingfu's family. The monthly money is all that they have paid for a whole year. Finally, Yun Ying told the inside story "with a red face".
The three aunts and six mothers-in-law present immediately boiled, just now Luo Shi said how much to invite a gentleman, and Ren Yunying's mother-in-law family all thought of going forward, which made many people who couldn't eat grapes and said that grapes were sour.
Yun Ying's shy appearance made Li Yinfeng's heart ache even more. The marriage with Guan Ping started from scratch, she didn't feel the taste of being held, and after getting it, she knew that everything was empty, and she inevitably began to say nothing when she was angry: "Hmph, it's rare to be fooled into this appearance by a dumb gardener who is so old!"
