Li was used to giving orders from above, and being able to force out a smile like this and a smile that was more ugly than crying simply made her heart choke. Helplessly, Qiao Yuangui and Qiao Yuanfu went home yesterday and talked about it carefully, only to know that the brothers not only spent all the silver taels they brought with them, but even owed a classmate in the academy twenty taels of silver.
If the brothers had hurried back to Asahi Castle after the first exam as the classmate who lent them money, they might have some silver taels left. But Qiao Yuanfu is a kid who doesn't know the height of the sky, and he thinks that he can show off his knowledge at the age of fourteen, how can he pass the first game, and the brothers are waiting for the first list to be announced.
Waiting naturally can't be idle, the inn is full of talents from all over the capital for reference, some have been here several times, and some of them have somehow said that they can buy the second exam place with money; This made Qiao Yuangui, who was originally depressed and wanted to persuade Qiao Yuanfu to go home, also ignited hope.
However, in the end, the two of them knew that the quota for the second examination was not only to be bought with silver, but also to have a letter of recommendation issued by the court of five grades or above, where did the two of them have such skills and money to dredge. When I turned around and wanted to find Guan Ping to go back to Asahi City together, I learned that Guan Ping had entered the gate of the capital with Li Changhai a few days earlier. The brothers were not reconciled, and waited outside the city for another month, until the mountains and rivers were exhausted, and they had to hire a car to return to the northwest.
In other words, the brothers not only swept away their family's savings for many years, but also used all the money borrowed by their respective uncles, and even owed debts to their classmates. The most fainting thing for the Qiao family is that the person who borrowed the money is not someone else, it is the nephew of the loan shark who Qiao Yuanfu borrowed four years ago. The last time I met Qiao Baisheng, he passed away and kept filial piety. The amount of five taels of silver is not large, and it can still be repaid if it is pieced together; But this time it's different, twenty taels, it's been a month, and I don't know how much Peel Chen will add! The Qiao family, who had been worried all night, hit the idea on the plum blossoms who were in good clothes.
First, Luo cried a lot, and then Li and Xiao Li moved people with emotion, and it was a good idea to fight. In this way, if the plum blossoms are holding the shelf again, they will be said behind them.
Just when the few of them were still making eye contact with each other, Yun Ying's eyes turned to her heart, and she followed Li's words and continued: "The milk is just right." Yesterday, the sisters came back too suddenly. You also know that the three of us sisters and brothers are now Xiaoliwei on weekdays, but they are just mixed food and clothing, and they finally collected all the food in the family to barely cope with last night's meal. Steward Hu was still worried about what to do this morning? The eldest sister, the third sister, the fourth sister, and the fifth sister, grandma is so old and she still comes to invite you to visit your grandfather, are you still holding it? ”
"Where we are holding. A dozen of us didn't want to trouble the eldest aunt and the second aunt. Since the milk has come to the door. If you don't visit your grandfather, it's really unfilial. Husband, you and your brother-in-law also quickly packed up, and took the two children to grandpa to recognize their faces. "Meihua is a shrewd person. I don't know what Yun Ying's idea is, just right, she doesn't want to make a name for herself, so why not take a trip to the old yard of the Qiao family.
"Eldest sister...... "Chrysanthemum is young after all, seeing that Meihua actually listened to Yun Ying's words and really wanted to go to the old courtyard to give Qiao Chengyin and Li a long face, she immediately stomped her foot and wanted to refute, but was quickly stopped by Yun Ying's eyes.
Yun Ying not only stopped Chrysanthemum's rebuttal, but added fuel and vinegar: "Since grandpa is sick, then I, Yuangen and Man'er are also going to see it." After Yun Ying finished saying this, she shouted at Hu San and Hu Die: "You go and see if there are any vegetable dumplings left last night, let's eat, if grandpa is seriously ill, our three sisters and brothers will inevitably spend more time over there, and the family should take care of the door." ”
Yun Ying and the plum blossom sisters sang very fast, not giving others a chance to interject, and by the time the three Li reacted, they had already been carried by a few flowers to the Anlan bridge. When she saw the village chief's wife, Yunying also deliberately stopped to explain the three "sincerity" of Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and invited several of her sisters to visit her seriously ill grandfather.
"Second Uncle Qiao is sick?" The village chief's wife was also startled, and turned her head to Qiao Yuanfang, who was holding the child in the yard to feed breakfast: "Yuanfang, your grandfather is sick, give me the child, you can go back and have a look." "If it weren't for the fortune teller who said that the child couldn't enter the sick filial piety's house, the village chief's wife would have to follow him to see the excitement. However, seeing the Qiao family walking upstream, he still couldn't resist his curiosity and went back to the room and called the village chief to follow and take a look.
Qiao Chengyin's illness was naturally made out by the Li family, and when a team of almost twenty people arrived at the old courtyard of Qiao's family, Qiao Chengyin was chopping firewood in the dam in front of the courtyard with a gloomy face. I didn't dare to glare at Li, but I was not polite to Xiao Li: "Where are you going to cook and eat if you don't cook at home early in the morning?" I want to starve your man, son, grandson! ”
"Grandpa, grandma, aunt and sister-in-law knew that my sisters were back, so they came to our house early and asked us all to come over for breakfast." Qiao Yuangen, a man, still has a certain right to speak, especially now that he knows that his brothers-in-law are not bad, he has confidence, and he speaks much more eloquently.
"Yo, I also said to let a few flowers come to my house for a light meal, since the second sister-in-law opened her mouth first, how can I be embarrassed to grab it? Plum blossoms, how many nights are you eating at my house, huh? Yang, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard with a dustpan, stared at Li's gloomy face with a smile, and his tone was full of pride.
The Qiao family is not only a big family living on the side of the dam, others heard the movement here, they all opened the door and stretched their necks to look at this side, some of the good spirits simply gathered in twos and threes to the dam, some went to see Luo Jiang's horses put aside, and some were very surprised at how Li was so willing to pick the door, and they were waiting for Li's answer.
"Grandpa, we've come to see you. Although none of us are from the Qiao family now, after all, we went out from the Qiao family, and the Qiao family is our roots. For so many years, the deed of sale has always been on the master, and the master has to do whatever we want, and this time I finally asked for a grace to leave the house...... "Plum blossoms took the lead and said extremely emotionally, and it suddenly reminded people of the scene where Qiao Mutou sold his daughter one by one, and some people immediately sighed.
Qiao Chengyin was honest and straightforward, and he didn't know what to say except for nodding, but Qiao Hammer, who rushed to hear the news, looked at the men and women, old and young, at the door, and his head was big for a while, didn't he let the old lady take the ladies of the family to cry in front of Yunying's house, and asked for some silver taels to come back, why did he bring all the people back?
Luo Jiang and Luo Song brothers got together at this time and didn't know what they had finished, and before Qiao Meihua could finish talking about the eighteen pains of being a human slave, they stepped forward and kicked the firewood flowers on the ground, "Are you finished?" I can't even eat a full meal when I accompany you back to your parents' house, why did you know that you would give you this face? ”
Plum blossoms seemed to be stunned in place, Qiao Hammer saw this situation, how dare he slacken, yesterday Yuanfu said that the plum blossom man is in the fifth grade, if he is angry, there is no good fruit to eat, so he hurriedly stepped forward and comforted: "There is food to eat, why not?" The second uncle will let people do it. Qiao Hammer said that his heart floated again, he finally had a niece and son-in-law of a five-grade official. Although I know that there are a lot of filthy big families, but I can't bear the plum blossoms will be born, it is estimated that this official is looking at the two children before the plum blossoms once.
The Yang family saw Luo Jiang's gentle and careless appearance towards the plum blossoms and the two children last night, and was also startled by his horizontal appearance just now, but then saw Qiao Hammer arranging this cooking rice and that making eggs, and finally understood why Luo Jiang suddenly put up the score of the big official. Breathing a sigh of relief, he secretly gave Yun Ying a thumbs up, just this breakfast will definitely make Li's heart and liver hurt completely.
Sure enough, when the Li family heard that they had to boil eggs and porridge for Luo Jiang's entourage and several daughters-in-law around Meihua, he couldn't help but scold anymore. But just now she began to scold, and the daughter-in-law who was waiting in the dam began to ask the villagers "innocently", could it be that the new son-in-law's family didn't even give a meal when they returned to their parents' house for the first time?
This is related to all the families with daughters in Lijia Village, and the village chief, who was belated, hurriedly stepped forward to say that there was a misunderstanding. If this matter is confirmed and spread, who would dare to marry a girl from Lijia Village. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Village Chief Li's feet had just crossed the threshold of the old courtyard, and he heard Luo Jiang asking Qiao Chengyin what serious illness he had? He was willing to take him to the Asahi City Great Medical Center for treatment, and he was willing to take care of all the expenses.
At this time, Luo was aggrieved and reported to the Li family how much the plum blossom sisters were picking, and they didn't bring anything when they came to the door. Angry, Li's eyes were dark again, and he grabbed Luo's hand and gritted his teeth and ordered: "Drive away, drive me away!" They all came empty-handed. They are not allowed to eat my Qiao's food. ”
Qiao Hammer calculated that the Li family was going to make such a stupid move, but fortunately, he saw that the situation was not good and followed him closer, and he hurriedly shouted: "Mother, I can't help it!" Now Meihua is back to visit the seriously ill grandfather, and it is the first time that the married girl has returned to the village, if you can't even eat breakfast, how can people say about our family. That's it, it's just breakfast, and I'll say later that my father will be happy to see them come back, and I'll send them away. ”
It's not that Qiao Hammer is not greedy, but that he tried to do it outside of his words. The plum blossoms are indeed still carrying the status of slaves, not so much that those are their men, but rather the current masters. It's not just a matter of one sentence to fight or sell, and if you say that you want to take Qiao Chengyin to Asahi City for diagnosis, maybe everyone is in a good mood, but what if you are in a bad mood? The plague god who can't be provoked is better to send it away quickly. (To be continued......)
