In the blink of an eye, it has entered the wax moon, there is no work in the field, and the family is not busy, the three brothers of the Han family discussed it very much, and picked four big baskets of rice, twenty catties of rapeseed oil, two catties of sesame oil, four home-raised old hens, ten catties of home-cured bacon, five catties of home-filled sausages and some dried sea peppers, peppercorns, dried radishes and other things to send to the city.

When I came, I passed through Zoumagang, rested at my aunt's house, and asked my aunt if I wanted to bring something to my sister, but I was seen by the shopkeeper Pan of Tongxing Pawnshop, and knew that their three brothers were going to enter the city, so they went to the street to buy two big baskets of chicken, duck, fish and other New Year's goods, and brought his eldest son Pan Changxi with him on his back.

The Han family's life was already tight, Han Da thought that these things he had worked so hard to pick were for his younger siblings, and it was not suitable to go to Zhuzi's house like last time, so he inquired all the way from Baishiyi to Qianguofang, and he didn't find the fourth brother's house until midnight.

Someone knocked on the door in the middle of the night, Qin'er was startled, and hurriedly asked her sister to dress.

It wasn't until they heard clearly that Han Da was coming from Zouma's hometown that the two of them breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went to open the door.

"Big brother, you can come here, why do you bring so many things? It's so heavy, it's tiring to pick dozens of miles of mountain roads! ”

"We work every day, it's nothing to pick up this little thing, walk and rest, eat some dry food when you're hungry, sit down and drink saliva when you're thirsty, and we're not tired." I don't know if it's the second time I've come, or because I'm afraid of being looked down upon by the Pan family's father and son, Han Da is not as restrained as last time, he took the tea bowl from his sister's hand, turned around and said, "Brother and sister, this is your second brother, this is your third brother." ”

"The second brother is good, the third brother is good." Qin'er hurriedly squatted slightly, and said a blessing to the two brothers who saw her for the first time.

"Brother and sister, don't ...... Don't do this. Han Er had heard Han Da say that his younger brother and sister were good-looking, but he never thought that Qin'er would be so peugeot, he had never been to the city, and he didn't dare to talk to Han Si who rarely went back at home before, and now he didn't dare to stare at his brother and daughter-in-law, so he turned out a bag of eggs from his pocket with a red face, and said hesitantly: "Brother and sister, this is what my mother cooked for you, I originally wanted to bring it raw, but I was worried about breaking it on the road." ”

"Sister, this is something your mother asked us to give you." Han San also hurriedly diverted the topic.

"Oh, thank you, third brother."

Seeing that the two younger brothers were so restrained, Han Da grinned: "Brother and sister, this is the shopkeeper Pan of Tongxingdang, this is the shopkeeper of Shao, and the eldest brother of Changsheng." ”

"It turned out to be the shopkeeper Pan." Qin'er said another blessing, and then beckoned: "Shopkeeper Pan, Brother Pan, please use tea." ”

In Pan's opinion, although the government and the soldier Fang Jingcheng are not officials, they are not too much different, and Qin'er is definitely the best lady in the city, so he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Young grandmother, don't be so polite, our father and son came here so late, it's really ...... I really don't want to go, these things are the New Year's goods for my parents and students, and it's almost the New Year, a little heart. ”

"Shopkeeper Pan, you are an elder, how can you call me a junior like that."

"I ...... I am good friends with my sister and her father, but now it is not as good as before, Zhixingxian's nephew is now an official, he is an official master, aren't you a young grandmother. Besides, whether my parents and students can mix up their personal appearance has to rely on the support of Zhixing's virtuous nephew. ”

"Yes, young grandmother, my second brother still has to rely on you and your master Han to take care of you." Pan Changsheng bowed respectfully.

Qin'er thought that the father and son of the Pan family were here to embarrass their sister, but they didn't expect them to be so polite, so they didn't have an idea for a while, so they simply turned around and said: "Sister, the shopkeeper Pan and Brother Pan are here, I don't know how to greet a woman, or you can help me call my father." ”

My sister is most afraid of seeing the Pan family, if it weren't for the presence of three cousins, she would definitely find a place to hide. Hearing what her sister-in-law said, she replied without thinking, "Okay, I'll go now." ”

"It's dark, it's okay for you to go out alone, right?" Pan Da couldn't help but ask.

"Big brother, it's okay, sister-in-law's mother's house is not far from here, I'll be back in a while."

"I'm still not at ease, third child, you go with my sister."

"Okay."

……

As soon as the younger sister and Han San left, Han Da Han San asked where to put the things he picked up from his hometown.

Qin'er suddenly found that although the Han family was poor, but there was a big family that was really better than nothing, and the three elder brothers had walked dozens of miles of mountain roads to pick up so many New Year's goods, and thanked them again, so they asked them to pour the rice into the big vat of the hall, and the ones that could not fall were stacked in the corner of the wall, and then the bacon and sausage were gathered...... It's a lot of fun.

As soon as his own things were put together, before he had time to return the New Year's goods sent by the Pan family, Duan Jingcheng followed his sister and Han San to arrive.

Han Da didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly pulled Han Er forward to say hello, and then stood aside honestly.

The same is true of the father and son of the Pan family, who dare not sit down after the salute.

"Don't be inhibited, it's like going to your own home." Duan Jingcheng motioned for them to sit down, and said slowly: "Shopkeeper Pan, you went into the city with you, are you worried about your second child and want to inquire about their news?" ”

"Duan Jingcheng, I know I can't hide it from you. I'm not afraid of your jokes, my second child really makes me feel uneasy, I annoy him when I'm at home, and now I'm not around and I always think about it, I always miss it. ”

"After all, it's your own flesh and blood, don't talk about you, I'm not at ease if I want to go so far." Duan Jingcheng felt the same way, and while beckoning him to drink tea, he said slowly: "Your second brother didn't give you a letter, but my family Zhixing sent a few letters to my family." The first few letters were brought by several post stations along the road, talking about the matter of the Copper Heavenly King, and the last one was brought back by the ticket number when passing through Jiangning, and the letter was not as good as the mail of the Ministry of War, and it was slower than people on the road. Counting the days, they should be almost in the capital by now, maybe they have already arrived. ”

Shopkeeper Pan really missed his son, so he couldn't help asking: "Duan Jingcheng, so they said that their journey from Ba County to Jiangning was safe?" ”

Thinking that his son-in-law had cleaned up the Bronze Heavenly King on the road, Duan Jingcheng couldn't help laughing and said, "There is no danger, there is no accident." ”

"There is no danger, Duan Jingcheng, did they encounter something?"

"It's something that happened, but it's a long story, if you don't make it clear, you must not worry, let me say it slowly......" Duan Jingcheng took a sip of tea and told the ins and outs of the matter vividly.

Shopkeeper Pan was thrilled to hear this, looked up at the three brothers of the Han family who were also frightened, and couldn't help but sigh: "Even the county prince of the liberation official copper has been subdued by him, and Zhixingxian's nephew is really a person who does great things!" ”

"This is natural, I, Duan Jiqing, have never looked at people."

"Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to Duan Jing for getting this good son-in-law."

"Rejoice and rejoice."

Han Si turned out to be more powerful than he imagined, and now he married the daughter of the Fu Ya Bingfang Jing Cheng family, Pan realized that in the future, not only could he not claim to be the creditor of the Han family, but also took this opportunity to tie up with Han Si, and chatted for a while: "Duan Jingcheng, I can't hide it, I came this time to inquire about the news of Zhixingxian's nephew and my family's second child, and second, is this less than the end of the year, my family still has a little bit of Ding Yin to pay, and I plan to find a reliable Bao Xie to help me pay it tomorrow." ”

Duan Jingcheng saw that he didn't mention the repayment of debts at all, and his impression of him was much better, and he muttered: "Shopkeeper Pan, the silver was handed over to the county government. Otherwise, I'll help you ask your friends at the county office early tomorrow morning. ”

"Before my parents left, they asked someone to bring me a letter, saying that Zhixingxian's nephew used to give people a bail, and that Zhixingxian's nephew handed over all the households that had helped Baoxiu to a scribe surnamed Yang before he set off."

"Qin'er, a scribe surnamed Yang, do you know this?"

"Dad, I've heard Zhixing say it."

"Is that surnamed Yang reliable?"

"Reliable, that person's name is Yang Xin, you don't recognize him, but you must recognize his father."

"Who's his father?"

"Yang Xiucai of Jinzifang."

"Who am I talking about, it turned out to be the second child of Yang Xiucai's family, I know Yang Xiucai, a famous old scholar in the city." Duan Jingcheng smiled and turned around: "Shopkeeper Pan, since the second child of your family told you, then you will go to the second child of Yang Xiucai's family tomorrow." ”

"Okay, thank you for Duanjingcheng."

"Thank me for what I'm doing, I can't help." Duan Jingcheng thought for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Han Da, aren't you planting the land of your sister's family, her family's land has to be handed over to Ding Yin, how did you pay it?" ”

Han Da relieved himself and hurriedly said, "My family's Diding Silver was handed over by the pillars. ”

Duan Jingcheng reacted, and couldn't help but say: "I almost forgot about that little servant, and the little guy is also reliable." Besides, he married your Han family, and he will marry his sister in two years, which is both your business and his own business, hahahaha. ”
