Of course, it was not a matter of who convened the people to be so neat, the men said that they had the ability to participate in the proceedings, and a group of women were just curious and wanted to see the excitement.

The center of the family's attention now is Qiao Yuanfu, who is sitting at the head of the table of the Eight Immortals. It was only a little more than half a year since the last time he sold the chrysanthemums of the Qiao Mutou family, and Qiao Yuanfu mentioned at the dinner table in the evening that he was also going to take the children's exam, he was only ten years old, and the whole family was a sensation for a while, but now he was waiting for Qiao Baisheng to speak.

This silence is half an hour, after the sensation, everyone remembered the current situation at home, where is there any money to give Qiao Yuanfu to "try"?

Especially for Xiao Li's family, the daughter wants to get married, the daughter-in-law wants to give birth to a child, and the son wants to refer to everything. If the old man agrees to what Qiao Yuanfu said just now, will there still be any money left in this family?

I was afraid that the old man would agree to this matter with one mouth, and he was busy giving Qiao Shi a look, but unfortunately a stone is a stone, where is Qiao Hammer's clever change, but he saw it, but he obviously misunderstood Xiao Li's original intention, thinking that his family was always taking advantage of the public, and it was time to make a good statement. So he shook the cigarette bag, coughed lightly twice, and said:

"Yuanfu is really good, since Mr. said that you are talented, it is a great joy for our family. Although our family is separated, but there are big things that the family is all together to find a way, this time your brother Yuangui's exam money is barely enough for your grandmother, if you want to go, let's think about ideas, think about ideas. ”

Qiao Yuanfu's face was overjoyed, and he gave Qiao Shishi a big gift decently: "Yuanfu has thanked Uncle here!" ”

As soon as Xiao Li heard this, where could he still care about the family rule of "men talking, women stepping aside", and rushed to Qiao Shishi's side with a "sigh". As he spoke, his face returned to a soft color, "Yuanfu." Your uncle just said that he wanted to think about it, so don't be busy thanking him first. Our two families have counted your father and your brother Yuanhong will earn silver. Your uncle is just a stuffy man, the key is to see how much money your father has now, and your grandfather and grandmother are also limited in their help to you. ”

Qiao Yuanfu's plan was not discussed with him in advance, this child has been enlightened since he was five years old, Qiao Baisheng has felt that he has talent, and he has always been raised by Qiao Baisheng's side, and he is not so close to his father. But what parents don't want their children to become talents, hearing Qiao Yuanfu say that the gentleman of the academy also said that he could give it a try, Luo was already ecstatic in his heart, if it weren't for the presence of many elders. She had already hugged Qiao Yuanfu in her arms and called out her liver, Rao was like this, and she also pinched Qiao Yuanfen beside her several times excitedly.

However, Xiao Li's words made her suddenly feel that something was wrong, and she couldn't help but retort: "Sister-in-law's words are not reasonable. After the wood was separated, didn't the two of us say that we would separate the family? Didn't you find me a few days ago and go to my mother-in-law and say that you would let the hammer give half of the dowry to Yuanfang? And the mother-in-law also said that she would take out the money from the former public school to give birth to the Mu family? As for participating in the children's exam, didn't our father say in the early years, as long as the child has a good income, everyone will make up the money, and everyone will enjoy the blessings? How can it be Yuangui's turn to work, and when we come to Yuanfu, we will become father-in-law and mother-in-law to help make up for it! ”

Luo didn't say anything wrong, the Qiao family has also been divided and combined several times since the Qiao Mutou family went out, but there are too many places where Xiao Li needs to use money. The Li family protected each other again, and Qiao Chengyin pressed the second Qiao hammer to hand over the earned silver money every month as before and store it in the public middle school. Fortunately, Qiao Yuanhong is getting older and has to save money to marry a daughter-in-law, and his share of Qiao Chengyin is not easy to squeeze out. Scraping things together, seeing that the Xiao Li family was able to cope with the succession of things. However, Qiao Yuanfu is so clever that he is overstretched, and he can't deal with it. Five or six taels of silver is not fifty or sixty big coins.

"You ......" Xiao Li was at a loss after all, and after saying a word, he could only look at Li with a gloomy face. I hope that my own aunt can come out and call the shots.

What did Lee say? Both sides are pro-grandchildren. The next three major events of the Xiao Li family, the Luo family has proposed such a stubble in the past few years. If she really favors Xiao Li's family, it is estimated that she will not be able to pay Qiao Hammer's salary in the future.

"The day before yesterday. Did Li Shun give a dowry gift? What did you give? Qiao Baisheng, who had not spoken, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Qiao Chengyin and asked word by word.

Li Shun is the village chief of Lijia Village, and Qiao Yuanfang, the eldest of the little Li family, is a family affair with Li Nan, the second son of the Li village chief's family. Forget about other clothes, materials, food or something, the identity of Village Chief Li's family is not ordinary, and there is cash specified in the ceremony, and how much it is, only Qiao Chengyin and the Li family, who received things, know.

"This ......" Qiao Chengyin cautiously glanced at the Li family on the side.

"Something without bones, I raised you for nothing, how can I let an ignorant woman take charge." Qiao Baisheng knew at a glance that the matter was all done by the Li family, so angry that he took the crutch next to him and wanted to beat someone.

"This is Yuanfang's dowry, I gave it to Yuanfang's mother to leave her as a dowry, and the silver was also given to her as a pressure box silver." Li still felt sorry for his own man, knowing that Qiao Chengyin would not avoid Qiao Baisheng's crutches if he said anything, and rushed to say where the bridal gift would go before the crutches fell.

"Mother-in-law, didn't you just want to give Yuanfang a box of silver when you let our hammer advance three months' wages before? He also said that he would return it to us when he received the dowry. Luo Che exclaimed with a look of astonishment: "Before, just preparing for Fang'er to be able to match the dowry of the village chief's family almost emptied the family's funds, and our Yuanhong and Yuanfen's relatives were also delayed, why did you give Fang'er the silver again behind our backs?" This kind of dowry is enough even if you marry the elder. ”

"Don't make noise! If you make any more noise, get out. Qiao Baisheng became a howl when he heard what Luo said, and the crutches in his hand simply slammed on the table of the Eight Immortals while his temples were beating. Fortunately, the texture of the Eight Immortals Table is good, otherwise it would not be able to withstand Qiao Baisheng coming like this from time to time.

Roche still wanted to know what was going on, so he had to cover his lips and shake his head violently, signaling that she would not call again; Seeing Luo's appearance, Qiao Yuanfu couldn't help but feel a little angry, hating that the Li family was too partial and only cared about the little Li family, after all, it was a child, the corners of his eyes were moist, and he coquettishly said to Qiao Baisheng aggrievedly: "Grandpa, your old man has to be the master of Fu'er." ”

To say that Qiao Yuanhui is the most beloved granddaughter of the Li family, Qiao Yuanfu is the "prodigy" in Qiao Baisheng's mind, otherwise he would not be able to be arrogant. Listening to his crying pleading, Qiao Baisheng nodded subconsciously and directly changed Qiao Shishi: "How much is the dowry silver?" How much is the silver of your big girl's pressure box? ”

Where did Qiao Shi know this amount, it had always been purchased by the Li family with the Xiao Li family, and he touched the back of his head in confusion and turned to the Xiao Li family.

"I know. In addition to the clothes, materials, jewelry, silk flowers, etc., the dowry given by the village chief's family to Sister Yuanfang is five taels of silver; Before Sister Yuanfang's pressure box, the silver was also five taels of silver. Because they often embroider together, the age difference between Qiao Yuanfang and Qiao Yuanfen is not big, and Qiao Yuanfen has an unparalleled comparison psychology with everything about Qiao Yuanfang; No matter how tightly Xiao Li covers it, these detailed numbers still can't hide Qiao Yuanfen's careful thoughts. Such a bold report directly blocked Xiao Li's attempt to conceal it.

Qiao Yuanfen's exposed figures not only shocked the whole family, but also made everyone in Xiao Li's family have their own thoughts. Just for Qiao Yuanfang's marriage, Xiao Li was willing to give ten taels of silver to press the bottom of the box, and Gan's and Mu's eyes were also unkind when they looked at Xiao Li's mother-in-law.

"Humph!" Qiao Baisheng snorted heavily, "Isn't this silver a little more for a girl!" If you marry in, can you help the Li family inherit the lineage, are you still afraid that it will not be tenable? This silver, just take it out and give it to Yuangui and Yuanfu to test the children. ”

This was decided, and Qiao Yuanfang first cried out with a "wow": "Milk, I'm not married." ”

"Dad, the village chief's daughter-in-law gave such a dowry of five taels to the next generation, not knowing that our family not only has such a child as you, but also has two children who are studying. If others know that Yuanfang didn't even have the silver at the bottom of the box when he got married, where would our Qiao family's face go? Those people in the Dong family were still saying sour things in front of Cheng Yin yesterday, saying that our Qiao family has a big business, and this time the eldest granddaughter will give a heavy gift when she goes out. "After marrying into the Qiao family for decades, the Li family is very clear about Qiao Baisheng's good face mentality; And the Dong family, as an outsider who moved into Lijia Village with the Qiao family, has always been the capital of the secret war between the two grandfathers; For a long time, Qiao Baisheng has relied on the title of an extra child to suppress the Dong family. But in the past two years, the Dong family has had a lot of momentum to overtake in money, and according to Qiao Baisheng's temperament, he must earn this face.

Sure enough, Qiao Baisheng's face changed when he heard that the Dong family was inquiring about Qiao Yuanfang's dowry: "The old man of the Dong family is angry that I robbed his great-grandson and son-in-law, and I don't want to think that even if he has muddy legs, he wants to compare with my dignified Tengyun Dynasty founding child?" Delusion. These ten taels of silver can't be moved, but I want to let the surnamed Dong take a look, don't think that if you go to do such a speculative thing, you can crush our family. ”

Li breathed a sigh of relief and nodded yes; Qiao Yuanfu, who had just received the letter of approval, suddenly stopped again: "Grandpa!" What about Fu'er? ”

Qiao Hammer and Luo's faces also became as ugly as Qiao Yuanfu, but Qiao Yuanhong's eyes rolled, covered his belt, and whispered: "Yuanfu begs for milk, milk can think of letting Yuangui take the children's exam for so many years, it makes no sense that our talented and intelligent Yuanfu can't go once, right?" I often hear those learned gentlemen in the academy say that 'one drum, then decline, three and exhaustion', if Yuanfu is so confident for the first time but can't go, I don't know if there is still this confidence next time. ”

That's exactly what happened. If Fu'er can't try it this year, she will definitely have no intention of studying, and she will be wasted in her studies next year, and even if she can estimate, she will only have to return home. Qiao Yuanfu hung his head in frustration, but his eyes were bright and he made an exchange with his brother. (To be continued......)
