Chapter 14: A Scholar

"That's good, girl, I'm sure your day will come to an end soon." Big brother Xiang Xing said.

"What's wrong?" Yan'er asked.

"Let me tell you, it's the one next door to us, Uncle Yan's son, Yan Xingjiu, he's really a seed of reading."

"It's a pity that our family doesn't have it, and some of them are also the third, but they don't have the money to study."

"I heard that Yan Xingjiu has a talent show this time, show talent, how many years will it take for our village to be able to produce one."

"You also know that this Yan Xingjiu grew up with you, and it was the same year, which is interesting to you, when will you be moved, you will be an official in our country and have money. He said he was going to redeem you and marry you home. Xiang Xing said.

Yan'er was not as happy as her three older brothers when she heard the news.

Let's not say that she has hated that Yan Xingjiu since she was a child, that is, she is now Zhang San's person, how can she not add others, not to mention that Zhang San knows, this Yan Xingjiu must not die.

"What, Xiaoyan, why are you upset to hear this news." Xiang Xing and his two younger brothers were excited for a while, and then they were not happy to see Yan'er, and they were even more annoyed.

"It's nothing, big brother, it's not like you don't know that I haven't been interested in that Yan Xingjiu since I was a child, and besides, this move is very difficult, it's not so simple." Yan'er said.

"In this way, Xiao Yan promised Yan Xingjiu something." Xiang Xing felt that Yan'er was just worried that Yan Xingjiu would not be able to be lifted.

"Little sister doesn't mean this, no matter what Yan Xingjiu does, I won't marry him, this kind of thing will be said in our own family, don't spread it, otherwise there will be trouble." Yan'er said.

Although he hates Yan Xingjiu, he is still a neighbor in a village after all, and he doesn't want others to suffer because of him.

"What do you say, sister? Forget it, you will change your mind when you understand the hardships of living in the city. The boss Xiang Xing didn't say anything more.

Liu also brought three green vegetables, Liu was only in his thirties, and he should still be in a state of charm, but he was already wrinkled.

Yan'er looked at her mother with tears squeezing out of her eyes like this, and looked at her mother, who was once full of green silk, and her eyes were already gray, and she couldn't help crying tears.

"Okay, stop crying." Liu comforted.

"Come, eat quickly, the food will be cold later." Liu served Yan'er a bowl of rice, one bowl for each of the three brothers, and one bowl for himself.

Feudal society, feudal thinking, even as a mother, Liu is not qualified to sit on a stool to eat.

Although Yan'er has not tabooed this under Zhang San's orders in the past few days, she still eats standing at home.

No one in Xiang Cheng went to ask him to eat, although he may be said to be unfilial, but who wants to pay attention to this kind of father, he will come out if he wants to.

Yan'er didn't know at this time whether to thank her father for selling her or blame him for not being able to reunite with her family.

Yan'er picked up a mouthful of vegetables, put it in her mouth, and almost didn't spit it out, she used to eat it in the house and it was eaten by maids, although it was not good, but it was better than this green vegetable with almost no oil and salt.

And in the past few days, she has been raised by Zhang San, and almost every meal of chicken soup is not missing, Yan'er feels that she is fat, so she quickly asked Zhang San to remove the chicken soup from every meal, and remove several dishes.

But it is still eaten with big fish and meat, and at this time, there is naturally no appetite for eating this kind of green vegetable.

But Yan'er was even more sad. "I eat so well every day, but my brothers and mother only have three plates of vegetables on the day I come back, and they usually only eat one plate and three meals. Next time, I'll have to bring some good food for my brother and mother. Yan'er said silently in her heart.

But Yan'er still ate one bite at a time, but she was still a little hungry after eating.

This year's harvest is not good, and there is not much old rice, so I can only save some food.

After eating, the three brothers went to work in the fields, Yan'er stayed in her mother's room, Yan'er took out the money bag and handed it to Liu.

"Mother, there are two hundred taels of silver in here, hide it carefully, and also give the brothers and yourself improved food, don't let him find it." Yan'er said to Liu.

"Daughter, why are there so many this month, you can stay and use it." Liu looked at the heavy money bag in his hand and didn't dare to accept it.

"This month, Gongzi was merciful and gave us a lot of extra money, I don't need this there, you can take it all, you must not let him take it this time." Yan'er said.

"Okay, okay, stay at home for one night before leaving, it's getting late." Liu said with Yan'er.

Liu knew that Yan'er would go back at night every month, so he wanted Yan'er to stay more this time.

"Yan'er also wants to, but Yan'er has to go back, otherwise there will be no money next month, Yan'er will leave later." Although Yan'er wanted to stay, she still refused.

Yan'er stayed at home for a while, it was already evening, the sun began to sink in the west, and Xiang Cheng came out to eat hastily, and muttered that it was really unpalatable, and then went to sleep.

The eldest Xiang Xing, the second Xiang Fei, and the third elder Hui have all returned, and as before, the four of them sent Yan'er to the gate of the village.

But this has not yet left the village, Yan'er is a scholar, also dressed as a scholar, white and clean, very different from the brassy skin of the people in this village.

"Xiaoyan, do you want to go back to be a maid?" The person who came was Yan Xingjiu, whom Xiang Xing had told Yan'er before.

"Hmm." Yan'er didn't bother to deal with him, and walked directly around Yan Xingjiu.

"Well, Mother, you go back first." Xiang Xing glanced at Yan Xingjiu, and then asked Liu to go home first.

Liu also knew this, this was a young man's business, and she was not easy to mix, so she went home first.

When the Liu family left, Yan Xingjiu, who was blocking Yan'er's path again, said to Yan'er: "Xiao Yan, I have already won the promotion, and I will be able to become an official and a half-position in the city immediately." ”

"What does this have to do with me?" Although Yan'er knew what Yan Xingjiu wanted to say, she still asked knowingly.

"Xiaoyan, you know my thoughts, I have already told my father and mother, they agreed, your mother also agreed, marry me, can't you be a lady?" Yan Xingjiu looked at this Yan'er still didn't want to deal with him, so he was anxious.

Yan'er saw that it was getting late and late, afraid that Zhang San would worry about herself, so she immediately pushed Yan Xingjiu away. Yan Xingjiu is a scholar, the baby of the whole family, his ten fingers do not touch the spring water, he has no power to restrain the chicken, and even Yan'er's strength is greater than him.

"Then I'll tell you, I'd rather be a maid, you can go." Yan'er said.

Watching Yan'er leave, Yan Xingjiu shouted: "Then after I become an official, I will go directly to redeem you when I have money." ”
