When Shu Yao and the others came back from the mountain, it was already past noon, and the strange thing was that the three Shujie brothers and sisters didn't feel hungry, but they were tired from crying.

When he was about to return to Xitang Street, looking at the tired neighbors, Shu Yao, who was sitting on the cart, stretched out his hand to Shujie who was walking next to him and asked him to hug him, and then said a few words in his ear, and took out a two taels of silver from his arms (actually from the mahogany box), and stuffed it into Shujie's arms through the cover of his body.

Shujie didn't suspect anything, but he felt that he was not as thoughtful as his younger sister, from last night to today, thanks to the help of the neighbors, everyone is now so hungry that their chests are pressed against their backs.

Shujie walked to Aunt Li and handed her the silver: "Auntie, I'm not convenient, can you help me go to the Xiangxiang Restaurant on Front Street to order two drawers of meat buns, steamed buns and two pots of hot soup, all of you uncles and aunts are tired for a long time, and you are hungry at this time." After the first seven days, the three of us ordered a few tables of white banquets at the restaurant to thank our neighbors for their help.

Aunt Li originally wanted to say that there was no need to waste money, but when she saw Shujie's firm gaze, she still didn't say it. First, the neighbors who helped were indeed hungry, and everyone came to help in this house, all of them had to prepare food. After the first seven years, according to the custom, there are also a few tables of white banquets, and the Xia family does not have adults to purchase the spoon now, so it is right to want to do it in the restaurant.

Think about it again, these children will need to be taken care of by the neighbors in the future, and they must also understand the world and have a good relationship with everyone. Aunt Li finally nodded: "Okay, I'll go now, but Brother Jie, the white banquet will be held in your yard, and Ajuan and I will help buy and cook vegetables." You are still young, and you have a lot of places to use money, and you can save a little. Aunt will take this silver first, and then I will count it with you later.

Of course, it is better to do it in your own home, it is not a little bit cheaper than going to the restaurant, and the neighborhood can also bring some leftovers back. Shujie replied gratefully: "Then listen to Auntie, thank you Auntie, I will take another three taels of silver and put it at Auntie later." ”

Uncle Li had already heard the conversation between the two of them, and said to everyone: "Neighbors go back to wash first, and then go to the Xia family's yard to eat, Shujie has already asked my daughter-in-law to order hot soup and steamed buns." ”

When everyone heard this, their first thought was a waste of money, and now these children are sitting on empty seats. But thinking about it, everyone was tired and hungry at this time, and no one really went to cook, so they didn't object, but just explained: "Aunt Li, steamed buns are good, you don't need meat buns, that thing is expensive, and you can't eat enough." ”

Shujie whispered: "Auntie, don't listen to everyone, you want half meat and half steamed buns, and only when you have meat can you replenish your strength." Auntie, rest assured, Shujie knows it. He has already thought about waiting for his mother to go out to make money after the first seven days, he can write, calculate, martial arts, has a lot of strength, and is not afraid of not being able to support himself and his younger brothers and sisters. In addition, the family's empty house can also be rented out. Xitang Street is in the center of the town, close to the market, and their house is also good.

Shu Yao, who was staying in Shujie's arms very quietly, heard the eldest brother's sentence "Shujie knows it in his heart", and knew that the eldest brother was ready to make money. But where does he, a fifteen-year-old, go to earn money? Don't take the imperial examination?

In his previous life, Shuwen had a high fever and burned his brain, and Shujie was so anxious that he came to the door to ask his uncle to ask Shuwen to ask a few more good Lang Zhong to see him. The eldest uncle and aunt cried desperately for poverty, saying that this disease was a bottomless pit and burning silver. Shujie not only sold the yard, but also gave up reading and ran to darts, and died nine times. As a result, Shuwen was still taken to the river by those people and killed.

Shu Yao hugged Shujie's neck, buried her head on her eldest brother's shoulder and wept silently, and secretly decided to tell her eldest brother about the mahogany box tonight, so that he could study with peace of mind.

As soon as the three of Shujie entered their yard, they saw Zhang Shiwen sitting at the big round table by the well, which was set up by the neighbors who helped this morning for breakfast, and there were many neighbors standing behind Zhang Shiwen.

"Uncle Zhang" and Shujie hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Shu Yao threw herself directly into Zhang Shiwen's arms and cried: "Uncle Zhang, my mother went to find my father." "Zhang Shiwen and his wife gave birth to a son, but they didn't have a daughter who they had been looking forward to, so they cherished Shu Yao very much. A while ago, she also said that she would set up a banquet to recognize Shu Yao as her goddaughter, and maybe she could bring out a lovely daughter like her to the Zhang family, who would have expected that Xia Linxuan would suddenly have an accident a few days later, and within three years, this matter would not be mentioned again.

Zhang Shiwen picked up Shu Yao: "Don't be afraid, good boy, Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang, and so many neighbors will take care of you, and your father and mother have saved people a lot before they died." Come, Wen'er also came to Uncle, you have walked so far in the mountains, are you hungry? Zhang Shiwen had already heard Qingfu and them talk about the farce of the Xia family's big house and Zhen Dafu's husband and wife yesterday, as well as the fire, and he was so angry that he felt even more sorry for the three poor children.

Shuwen replied obediently: "Wen'er is not hungry, the eldest brother asked Aunt Li to help order steamed buns, and after a while, uncles and aunts will come over to eat steamed buns, and Uncle Zhang will also eat together, okay?" ”

Zhang Shiwen's eyes were slightly red: "Okay, Uncle Zhang is also eating here." By the way, Shujie, what do those people want to do with you, with Uncle Zhang here, you won't be bullied. ”

Qiu Tao found an opportunity to speak: "Brother Jie, those people came to your house to steal things, turned it into a mess, and the drawers were all pried, you see, they are still digging pits under the trees, and I don't know what to look for?" ”

Only then did the three of them notice the "miserable situation" under the osmanthus tree, as well as Zhen Dafu, who was wailing on the corridor between the north house and the east house, his right foot was bandaged like a big zongzi. The Lin family on the side was holding a wooden box tightly, and when he saw Shu Yao looking over, he subconsciously wanted to cover it with his sleeves.

Shu Yao looked at it, a very familiar wooden box, where have you seen it? Seeing the pit under the osmanthus tree again, uh, I remembered it, it's so funny!

Shu Yao's immature voice was full of curiosity: "Big brother, what is my aunt doing with Huahua's coffin?" Still holding it so tightly? ”

Shuwen's eyes widened: "Yes, that is still the coffin that my sister begged her father to help Huahua make, it has been buried for a long time, what did my aunt do to dig it out?" ”

Flower? What Flowey? What coffin? Lin was shocked, this dead girl was cheating her, right? She stared at Cuizhu fiercely for answers.

Cuizhu then remembered that a year ago, once she asked her wife for leave to go back to visit her seriously ill mother, and when she came back, she heard that the turtledove "Huahua" raised by the girl died, and the girl buried Huahua under the osmanthus tree, and was sad for several days.

Cuizhu looked at the wooden box in Lin's arms again, the lid was not locked, but nailed.

She let out an "ah" and pointed to the wooden box: "Huahua...... Huahua was a turtledove raised by the girl, and she died a year ago, and the girl buried it under the tree. ”

"Ah---" Lin threw the box in his arms in fright.

I don't know if Zhen Dafu didn't look at the yellow calendar when he went out this time, Huahua's coffin fell from the air to the wound on his right foot very accurately, although it was wrapped layer after layer, a piece of red quickly oozed from the white cloth strip.

The peerless screams once again spread throughout Xitang Street......

The neighbors who poured in couldn't help but laugh, Zhang Shiwen just drank the tea in his mouth and spewed out: "Huahua is really a good bird!" "What a loyal turtledove, who has been dead for more than a year, and still wants to vent his anger for his master.

Wu Langzhong, who had only been away for a long time, was invited back again, and sighed after helping Zhen Dafu re-bandage his wounds: "Uncle Zhen, you can look for Langzhong again after you go back, you can't bear the force, you can't touch the water, take care of it, and you have to raise it for at least half a year." ”

Wu Langzhong had already heard about Zhen Dafu's injury, and he had also heard those subordinates muttering "Grandma is powerful", and he also heard about last night's incident, his back was already sweaty, and he didn't dare to have any contact with the Zhen family anymore. Well, he wants to ask his daughter-in-law to burn incense, and quietly give the Xia family's lady a little more time, and use all the sealing silver given by the Zhen family, and add some more for himself.

In fact, Zhen Dafu is really afraid, he only wants to leave this terrible yard as soon as possible, her sister was not easy to bully during her lifetime, and she will still be rewarded after death.

But the Lin family is unwilling, the eldest son Ah Bao was deceived and bought a batch of poisonous ingredients into their family's "delicious building", and now he has eaten a guest to death, and he is still a member of the famous ** gang in the Daimyo Mansion City.

If it weren't for Master Murong's face and the loss of eight hundred taels of silver, where would those ** be willing to give up? Master Murong is the younger brother of Lord Murong, the head of the household department in the capital, and even the prefect has to give him some face in the city of the Daimyo's Mansion.

But the Murong family didn't help for nothing, and they had something to do.

The eldest son of Shangshufu and Donnie Yen were originally husband and wife, but later reconciled, and Donnie Yen married Xia Linxuan, who was still a dart master at that time, and returned to Yulin Town together. After many years, I don't know what Lu Dao is for, Uncle Murong, who has already raised his cousin as his wife and has children and daughters, suddenly wants to take Donnie Yen's children back as Murong Mansion's sisters-in-law. But the Shu Yao sisters and brothers are obviously Xia Linxuan's children, and it has been nearly a year since Donnie Yen left Shangshu Mansion when she was pregnant.

Uncle Murong promised that after the matter was completed, he would not only be able to help their Zhen family's second son, Ke Ying, get a letter of recommendation to enter the Daimyo Academy, but also get a thousand taels of silver for the carriage and horse expenses.

If it can't be done, those ** will make trouble again, I am afraid that the prefect's yamen will seal the two "delicious buildings" of the Zhen family.

Now that the two large boxes of silver medicinal materials have been burned by the fire, the makeup box of Donnie Yen in Cuizhu's mouth can't be found, nothing has been caught, and the Shuyao sisters and brothers can't take it away, and their Zhen family will not be able to eat and leave.

At this time, Shujie, who had been frowning, spoke: "For the sake of your brother and sister-in-law, I will let you go this time, if you come to our house to be a thief next time, I will definitely send you to the government." ”

Lin stared at a pair of goldfish eyes and began to splash: "Oh, how do you speak?" Or Xiucai, have you learned what it means to respect your elders? Who became a thief? We're going to take Shuyao and Shuwen away, and we're just helping them pack their bags. You ask Cuizhu, our sister-in-law has entrusted the Shuyao sisters and brothers to our master.
