Guan Ping and Yun Ying said so much, Yun Ying only heard one theme: If you want to be an official, the initial investment is not a small number! Of course, the prerequisite is to be admitted first.

Judging from the current savings of the Guan family, if Guan Ping can pass the exam in one fell swoop, the money will be quite good, but if he fails to pass the exam two or three times, then the whole family will have to drink the northwest wind.

Suddenly, Yun Ying felt that the burden on her shoulders was heavier!

Xu felt the heaviness of Yun Ying's mood, and after passing Qiao Quan's courtyard, Guan Ping strode in front of Yun Ying, blocking Yun Ying's way.

"Brother Guan Ping?" Yun Ying stared at Guan Ping's shining eyes in the dark, slightly puzzled by his intentions.

Suddenly, Guan Ping stretched out his hand and took Yun Ying in front of him into his arms, hugged her shoulders tightly with both hands, and rested his chin on her head, "Yun Ying, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have returned to the business by now, don't worry, when I become an official, you will be the official's wife." "He didn't dare to say that he could ask Yun Ying for a wife, this title, he only wanted to give it to Jia for the time being.

Yun Ying could hear the sincerity in Guan Ping's tone, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly in his arms, "Brother Guan Ping, then I'll wait for that day." "can make Guan Ping, an honest child, so emotional, and I don't know who hit him. Yun Ying patted Guan Ping lightly on the back, one is twelve years old and the other is only ten years old, the two naturally will not have more charming atmosphere, and they get along for half a year, but it seems that most of them are dependent on each other.

Compared with the warm family affection of the mother and son of the Guan family, the cold-bloodedness of the Qiao family has long made Yun Ying's whole heart cold.

Early the next morning, Yun Ying cooked a meal for Jia's and went to the old courtyard with Guan Ping. Everyone in Lijia Village knows about yesterday's events, and there are not a few people who go to Qiao's house to pay their respects today.

The people in the village are just a ruler, a knife of paper money or something, and it is different for daughters like Yun Ying and Qiao Yuanfang who got married to come back to give gifts, and Qiao Quanrang, who was guarding the door, found that there were two tables of breakfast in the courtyard after entering the door.

On one side of the table sat the men of the Qiao family, on the other side sat the Yue family, the Li family, the Yang family and the Qiao Erni family, and Xiao Li and Luo were also sitting in the seats and eating violently. And who does the work in the stove room?

"The flower is back just in time, go to the stove room to help." Li Shi's eyes flashed when he saw Guan Ping and Yun Ying enter the door, and he directly opened his mouth to order.

Yun Ying pursed her lips, and just as she wanted to do it, Guan Ping stretched out his hand and grabbed Yun Ying's sleeve. smiled politely at Li: "Milk." Yunying and I came over with breakfast, so we went to incense my grandfather. ”

Yun Ying didn't plan to go to the stove room to do things, and when she and Guan Ping walked to the door of the hall, they saw that inside the open stove door, Qiao Sanni and Qiao Sini were so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground. Qiao Yuanfen and Gan are also in it. But they got together and didn't know what to whisper.

There are clearly not enough men at the table. When she walked to the alley, Yunying found that there were three kneeling next to the coffin in the hall, Qiao Yuanhong, Qiao Yuangui and Qiao Yuanfu? Yun Ying couldn't help but wonder what role would it be to let them kneel here now?

burned the paper money, and outside Qiao Yuanfang also took Li Nan back to her parents' house. As soon as he got home, he fell down in the alley and cried sadly, asking outsiders to look at it and praise him, Yang saw it and simply pulled Yun Ying and said, "Let's come out and help wash the dishes." ”

Today's breakfast is dozens of people from three large families, and there are a lot of dishes, plates and chopsticks, which are cleaned by the edge of the well outside the yard; Yun Ying said hello to Guan Ping when she heard this, and obediently followed Yang out of the courtyard.

Squatting on the edge of the well before he started working, Yang complained: "Yunying, you left last night, I don't know that they made a fuss all night, and this morning is the stopping point." ”

After Yang's explanation, Yun Ying knew the final solution to last night's incident. First of all, Qiao Baisheng's funeral, after discussion, Qiao Chengjin and Qiao Chengtong each took out a tael of silver to give the old man a funeral, and the Li family will take two taels of silver, everything is simple, anyway, it was the Li family who was poked in the backbone in the end, and the Yue family and the Yang family did not entangle the two silvers.

Qiao Yuanfu and the two brothers spent a full eight taels of silver because of the treat, and the eight taels of silver were left in the hands of the Li family, Qiao Hammer went to the town early this morning, and first went to determine whether the two bad children really couldn't participate in the county exam, if not, whether the silver could be returned.

Then I have to determine whether the "Uncle Lu" in the mouths of the two bear children is the "donkey rolling noodles" that put the money in the seal, if not, everything will be easy to do, if so, hurry up and save money.

"Yunying, you don't know, Yuangui's kid is fine, Yuanfu was beaten and screamed, saying what is the face of Master Maocai. Bah, if my family is like that, my mother can drown him in a dung bucket. Yang thought about looking at Qiao Yuanfu on the wall, and felt gritted his teeth, "This morning, your third grandfather also told me that if their family really wants to repay the printing money, they can help a little, and let Yuanfu take care of Yuanshun in the future." To be honest, I don't think Yuanfu's child can be very promising. ”

"Don't worry, the third aunt will not become the child who grows up like Brother Yuanfu, right? Fourth aunt and third aunt. Yun Ying didn't want Qiao Qi's daughter-in-law to turn around after listening to Yang's straightforward words, and pulled Qiao Sanni and Qiao Sini to flatter Yang.

Qiao Sini smiled bitterly and said weakly: "My father also told me, I want to help to see if I have the ability." If I had that money, I would love Fei'er to give it a try. ”

Qiao Sanni is even more like her mute eating Coptis chinensis and can't say it, and recently the mute brother who is still the head of the village in Lijiazhuang brought out a news, saying that those fields in Lijiazhuang may have to be sold, and they are afraid that the piece where they live now will be sold, so wouldn't they become homeless. When I came back yesterday, I originally wanted to take advantage of the happiness of my family to repair the relationship with the Qiao family, but who knew that the happy event would become a funeral before it started.

Speaking of this, the Yang family pulled Yun Ying again: "Speaking of this, Yun Ying, you have to talk to your mother-in-law when you go back, I will listen to ...... this morning" Yang snorted in the direction of Xiao Li and Qiao Yuangui, and continued: "The two of them said that if the two brothers can't go to the test Xiucai, others don't want to go, they shouldn't say that it's your family Guan Ping." ”

"No, it won't!" At this time, Yun Ying couldn't sit still. If Qiao Yuangui and Qiao Yuanfu really can't take the exam this year because of filial piety, is Guan Ping, the great-grandson-in-law, also within this range?

How could not!

At this time, the topic was discussed very eagerly in the courtyard, and the most knowledgeable person in the village was the village chief Li Shun, and he couldn't figure out whether his great-grandson and great-grandson-in-law were also in this range.

Guan Ping was full of ambition and was ready to get good news in one fell swoop, and after thinking about giving the gift, he immediately set off to return to the academy and seize the time to recall what Mr. taught again, but he was immediately stunned by this sudden blow.

"Brother Guan Ping, let's go back first." When encountering something, Yun Ying's first thought was the Jia family, and the Jia family was like the backbone of the two.

"No, I can't go back and ask my mother." Guan Ping stood up before entering the door, and stubbornly pulled Yun Ying to turn around, "If my mother knew that she couldn't participate in the county exam, she would be sad." ”

Indeed, Jia has been looking forward to it for so long because he hopes that his son can have a good future, and if he delays another county exam for this matter, he will have to wait two years next time.

Thinking of this, Yun Ying wanted to turn around and bite Qiao Yuanfu twice! It's all him, and he can't see others if he's not good.

With worries, the two took a small road to Baijiaji, Guan Ping went to the academy to inquire about Mr., and Yun Ying went to Zhenweiju. There is no way, the shopkeeper Liu is polite and polite, and he seems to be very knowledgeable, if he is the person Yun Ying admires the most, he must be counted as one.

It's just that the news on both sides is not optimistic. Although the imperial court did not explicitly stipulate that an identity like Guan Ping could not be referenced, it did stipulate that there was a heavy filial piety that could not be referred to for three months. It is difficult to say whether filial piety is valued or not.

"Alas, in this matter, in addition to a clear rule from above, otherwise even if Brother Guan is admitted to Xiucai and is denounced, he may lose his reputation as Xiucai." Before leaving, the shopkeeper Liu sighed regretfully, but it made Yun Ying think all the way,

When she returned to the village after crossing the Anlan Bridge, Yun Ying finally lifted her spirits and explained to Guan Ping: "Brother Guan Ping, you go home first, don't be busy talking to your mother-in-law about this, I'll think of a way." ”

Guan Ping only said that Yun Ying probably wanted to beg those people in the Qiao family to bite on the other way, because he and Yun Ying were actually not real husband and wife, and he was not the son-in-law of the Qiao family, so he waved his hand absentmindedly: "If you can go, you can go, if you can't go, it's probably fate, it's really not good, and Xiu will take the test together in the next year." ”

Yun Ying now only remembers that Guan Ping once said that Qishan is the training ground of General Zhenxi, and if such a large-scale Qishan Village can be built in the training ground, the owner of the Zhuangzi must be extraordinary, and what Yun Ying wants now is to go to Qishan to ask Uncle Zhen or Uncle Li to take her to meet the owner of the other village, which is also the only best way she can think of now.

Lixia was cleaning up the range pointed out by Yun Ying on the edge of the waterhole at this time, and when he saw Yun Ying sliding down the grassy slope from a distance, he stood up straight and showed a smile.

"Brother Lixia, can you pull the bell and let Uncle Zhen come here, I have something very important to find him!" Yun Ying pleaded with Lixia before she could stand firm.

"How?" Rixia asked her the reason for the difficult pronunciation, and without hesitation, she rang the bell and drawstring in the pavilion according to her instructions.

"My grandfather is dead! They said that Brother Guan Ping can't participate in the county exam, does your master know General Zhenxi, I want to ask him to help me bring some words to General Zhenxi, so that General Zhenxi can be gracious and can help Brother Guan Ping participate in the county exam! Yun Ying couldn't explain the meaning to Lixia for a while, so she had to pick up a simple and easy-to-understand explanation.

Lixia saw that Yun Ying's often smiling face was full of sadness, and her apricot eyes were full of worry, and she suddenly felt a little unhappy, because Yun Ying's emotions were all because of the "Brother Guan Ping" in her mouth. (To be continued......)
