Uncle Yao led the donkey cart in front, the scalper followed by his side and bowed his head silently, and walked not far Yao Bo turned his head to look at the Bi family brothers and sisters in the car, and then looked at the thoughtful scalper, and asked, "What does the little cow think?" ”

The scalper sighed softly: "People are born, old, sick and die, and the moon is cloudy and sunny. I hope that people will live a long time, and they will live forever. ”

Uncle Yao grinned: "This long and short sentence is good, but it seems that everyone has heard of it." ”

The scalper nodded and said: "I heard my master say that there are no less than 100,000 kinds of poetry collections, scriptures, and ancient scrolls in the world, and more than 100,000 volumes, but there are only more than 18,000 words, so this excellent sentence is originally used by the predecessors and future generations." ”

Uncle Yao sighed in his mouth, and he didn't say more, but the scalper sighed again: "Although Uncle Yao's calculation is good, my father ...... This cow doesn't eat grass and presses his head strongly, I'm afraid it's useless! ”

"Bah! Let the calf see it, haha! Uncle Yao clapped his hands and smiled, and said: "This matter, since I want Erniang to bother, the old servant just did a good deed." ”

The scalper shook his head and smiled bitterly, the three thatched huts are now crowded for a family of three, and two more children are to be stuffed in, isn't it forced to move!

After walking a short distance, I arrived at home, at this time there was naturally only Yao Erniang in the house, seeing that she was sitting in the courtyard to handle the embroidery bed, the scalper walked a few steps to open the courtyard fence, and said: "Mother! I'm back! ”

Yao Erniang looked up, but saw that her son had changed his clothes, vaguely the Confucian shirt of his younger brother San Lang, and was smiling at herself, and couldn't help but rejoice, and heard the sound of a car outside the courtyard, so she got up and looked: "Uncle Yao, how did you give birth to this?" ”

Yao Bo crossed his hands and said, "Congratulations to Erniang!" Today, Li Saburo took Xiao Niu'er to recognize the teacher, and won the appreciation of Zhang Sizhi of the Hongwen Museum, and accepted him as a closed disciple! ”

"Really?" Erniang was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly came out to greet her. Uncle Yao brought the donkey cart into the yard, pointed to the Bi brothers and sisters holding chickens on the cart and smiled: "Really! On the way here, God also sent a pair of children to the little cow, one is a good scholar and the other is a good maid. ”

He said to the Bi family brothers and sisters: "Don't come and see Mrs. yet!" ”

The little brother Bi Yang was also sensible, and he hurriedly jumped off the donkey cart and hugged his sister, then both knelt down and said, "Meet Madame!" ”

"Get up!" Yao Erniang was born in a wealthy family, and she also has knowledge, so she knew at a glance that this was a ritual given by her younger brother.

With the joyful delivery of the scalper's entrance to school, he had no reason to refuse, so he had to put up a smile and said: "Uncle Yao is tired, come into the house and have tea." ”

He said to the scalper on the side: "What are you still doing in a daze?" quickly changed his clothes and led them to pick up the car. ”

The scalper agreed, and then beckoned to the Bi family brothers and sisters: "Come with me!" ”

After Erniang invited Uncle Yao into the hall to serve tea and talk, the scalper also led the brother and sister to the bedroom, and the scalper changed out of his Confucian shirt, while looking at the two people who were still holding the chicken, and asked: "What are you still holding, there is a straw rope by the door, tie it up first." ”

"Can't be tied! The general wants to be sultry! Bi Yang shook his head and replied.

The scalper rolled his eyes and asked, "Will you run away if you let it go?" ”

Bi Yang nodded and replied, "No!" ”

Only then did the scalper say angrily: "No? That's not going to let go! Do you have to go to the car alone, and you guys are watching? ”

Bi Yang thought about it, so he took his sister to the door and put the chicken away, and saw him caress the head of the big rooster and whispered a few words, and the big rooster ran to the yard with his head up, flapped his wings a few times and then raised his head and clucked.

The rooster's crow was unusually majestic, and the high-pitched crow quickly drew the roosters in the neighbourhood to echo the croaking, and the hen spread her legs and wandered around the yard, and soon found the mule shed and trough beside the stove.

When the ox in a coarse cloth coat came out to look, he found that the big rooster had actually gone up to the roof of his house and was flapping his wings and crowing in the setting sun.

After a thumbs up, the scalper hurriedly led the two children back to the bedroom to clear out the place, and moved all the things in the car like ants moving. After he cleaned up, Yao Erniang also made a charcoal stove and boiled a pot of ginger tea to greet Uncle Yao, the scalper was so hot that he was sweating profusely and naturally didn't drink any tea, and after going to the stove room to wash his face and drink a scoop of cold water, he saw Erniang send Uncle Yao out.

Uncle Yao didn't talk much, and after encouraging the scalper a few words and giving a "you know" look, he said goodbye and left.

Then Erniang sat in the hall and called the Bi brothers and sisters to question, but she didn't let the scalpers listen. Just sent a few small sums of money to him to buy wine and meat, such a happy event of the famous teacher and the import of Ding Ding is naturally to be celebrated.

When the scalper came back from selling wine and meat, Huang Laoqi also finished his work and returned home, Bi Yang was helping Lao Qi unload the mule cart, and Erniang also took Bi Yue to be busy in the stove room.

"Good boy!" When Huang Laoqi saw his son, he smiled and said, "This is apprenticeship?" ”

"Hmm!" The scalper nodded, raised the wine jar in his hand and said, "Dad, the old wine in the Lu family's shop." ”

Huang Laoqi finally opened the stopper and sniffed it, and said, "Good wine!" In the evening, I sifted a bowl with the cows. ”

Then the scalper joined hands with Bi Yang, unloaded the mule cart, and picked up the mule and led it to the shed.

At this time, he heard the "clucking egg" sound of the old hen at the foot of the shed, Bi Yang ran to touch it, and found a huge egg, and then saw him happily said to the scalper: "Young master, it must be a double yellow." ”

After the scalper took it, he walked to the courtyard, looked at the sunset, and sure enough, it was a double yolk egg, so he returned it to Bi Yang and said: "Quick, go and report the good news to my mother, and make egg custard at night to taste!" ”

"Don't keep it for seeding?" Bi Yang was stunned when he heard this, but the scalper smiled: "Keep it for seeding? Double yolk eggs can't hatch chicks, whose double yolk eggs are kept for seeding? ”

Bi Yang naturally didn't understand the truth that these yellow eggs couldn't hatch chicks, but he still obediently held the eggs to find Yao Erniang to report the good news.

It didn't take long for Erniang to come up with a table of meals, the main dish was chestnut roast pork, and the side dishes included steamed bacon, white-cut pork head meat, hot vegetables and a mustard ginger spicy egg custard that Erniang was best at.

The brothers and sisters of the Bi family also met Huang Laoqi according to the formal family service before the meal, and changed their name to Master, and Huang Laoqi also agreed with a smile. Since the brother and sister are both sold (meaning buyout, lifelong servants cannot be redeemed or redeemed, unless the lord is gracious), Huang Laoqi gave the brothers and sisters the names of Fushou and Yuemei, and set a monthly money of 30 Wen.

The monthly example of 30 wen is not less for two children under fifteen, and the big families in the city who can afford to use servants and maids, the standard monthly example starts at 100 wen, and three or five hundred wen is considered a high salary, after all, buying a concubine on the market today is only a few dozen yuan, and the servants and maids are only a few to a dozen times.

After dinner, Huang Laoqi took the scalper from the firewood room behind the stove room to take wood and put a small bed out, which was placed next to the cow's bed, and I don't know if Erniang mentioned the matter of moving to the old man, Huang Laoqi was doing the work in his mouth What "the cold door is diligent and thrifty in the end, and the broken house is worth ten thousand gold", but Erniang robbed a few words, saying that this broken house is also the Yao family, but the old man strongly argued that he paid the rent, so he was not sent under the fence.

At night, the scalper picked out the oil lamp to read, and the "Zuo Biography" and "Spring and Autumn" given by his uncle were all rare stereotypes, and before I knew it, I saw the second watch.
