Wang Xiaomei happily took off the smallest hat of the Wang family, and Wang Fulin told the story of what happened in Fucheng County along the way, Wang Erniang finally forgot the feeling of unhappiness in her heart, sometimes amazed, sometimes nervous, sometimes angry, sometimes cheering, and completely looked like a girl of her age. Especially when she returned home and the family sat around the table to eat, when she heard Wang Fulin mention that she was going to cut off her robe with Cheng Naixuan at that time, but was mistaken by Cheng Naixuan and the officials for the high wind and bright festival, she almost didn't laugh and broke off, and the small half bowl of rice was all buttoned to Wang Xiaomei's skirt on the side.

"Second sister!" Wang Xiaomei still didn't understand these complicated things, and she suddenly puffed up at this moment, "You pay me for my skirt!" ”

"Okay, okay, I'll give you and your second sister those two new color silks, you can pick them first, and cut a new horse-faced skirt in Ming'er!"

Wang Fulin immediately became a peacemaker, and after helping his little sister clean up, he saw that Wang Erniang also quickly cleaned up the rice on the ground, and complained that he was telling jokes while eating, but he didn't care about it, and talked about Cheng Naixuan's beating seriously. Sure enough, Wang Erniang laughed again, and the whole person looked fresh and bright because of her smile, and after reacting, her face turned red again, and she shouted fiercely: "Brother, you did it on purpose!" ”

"Yes, I did it on purpose!" Wang Fulin smiled and pressed her eyebrows, and then reminded, "At a young age, don't be so fierce from time to time, frown, be careful of getting old!" In the future, the family will have a large population, and your brother will be a person who is not diligent and does not distinguish between grains and grains, so you have to rely on your shrewd sister to manage it, and you have to smile more often, anyway, there will be more people who can work in the future! ”

Since her brother woke up from a long coma and then began to recover, Wang Erniang only felt that the nerdy brother who was not close to anyone in the past had gradually changed, becoming cheerful and warm, amiable and respectable. At this moment, she didn't get angry and murdered people back for the first time, her cheeks were slightly red, but her mouth was still erect and said: "Brother, you said lightly, it's because there are more people eating!" My father and mother are outside, I take care of the family's expenses, and now there is not much money left at home, just wait for the rent for half a year, otherwise we will all go to drink the northwest wind! ”

Jin Bao hadn't had much to talk to Wang Erniang since he came back, and when he heard her complain about the expenses, he was about to open his mouth to get a job, but he saw Wang Fulin glaring at him as if he had a heart, and suddenly he didn't dare to do much, but he was thinking about what he could help from other places. But the next moment, he saw Wang Fulin untie a small burden beside him and put a snowflake of silver on the dining table.

Wang Erniang just talked about it, and she didn't expect her brother to solve this problem at all. She looked at the silver on the table in a daze, she didn't care that the meal was not finished at this time, she reached over and grabbed it and weighed it, and then looked at the bottom, and immediately glared at her brother and said, "Brother, where did you come from?" It turned out to be the official silver cast by the Salt Envoy Division, I'm afraid there won't be ten taels! ”

"This is Cheng Naixuan's father, Cheng Yi sent by Master Cheng, you take it." After Wang Fulin explained, seeing Wang Erniang tilting his head and groaning, he pressed his finger on her eyebrows coldly, "Okay, don't think about it so much, I know that it is difficult to repay the debt of favors, and I will definitely try to repay it in the future, so you don't have to worry about it." You just need to take care of your family's expenses, and as for where to get the money, that's your brother and me! ”

It was the first time Wang Erniang had seen such an official bank. Although Wang Fulin described that Cheng Gongzi as like a harlequin, just looking at Master Cheng's generosity, just looking at his ability to take out the official minted silver taels, the Cheng family's rich net worth can be imagined, and such kindness is all for the face of his brother. So, she didn't say any more, but took out a handkerchief and carefully wrapped the ingot of silver and put it in her bosom, and when she picked up the bowl and pulled two more mouthfuls of rice, she suddenly remembered another thing.

"Brother, you were in such a hurry when you entered the city this time, I only had time to give you a handful of scattered silver, about two or three taels, you have lived in the inn for so many days, and this time you brought so many things back, where did the money come from?"

"Since I was a child, I have also collected a lot of silver coins for the New Year's money, a full one or twenty taels, I expected this to happen before, and I cut them all up and prepared them there, isn't there money?"

Wang Erniang was stunned. When she was young, the family was more solid than now, and the richest relatives of those families had dealings, every New Year, the elders would often reward those casting exquisite silver bills, all kinds of patterns, and saved a few years, but then the father suddenly became a layman all the year round, and the mother guarded the family and rarely walked around with those families, such treatment was gone, and even the New Year's money given by the uncle during the New Year, that is, the newly minted dozens of new money. She has always treasured those bills, and she often counts them when she has nothing to do, and she remembers that her brother is secretly too, but she didn't expect her brother to use it this time!

"Brother......

Seeing that Wang Erniang, who has always been spicy and fierce, was actually slightly red, Wang Fulin couldn't understand her feelings. After all, he didn't have the experience of the previous moment of family change, and of course he didn't cherish much of the silver coins that he thought were private money. He thought about it, didn't open his mouth to comfort his sister, and didn't hand over any handkerchief, but changed the topic and said: "Everyone hurry up and eat, tidy up after eating, otherwise how to give gifts tomorrow?" ”

This night, the family tossed until late to divide the gifts. As for Qiu Feng and Forsythia who followed home this time, although there are empty houses, they have not yet been cleaned up, so Forsythia can only temporarily follow Wang Erniang and Wang Xiaomei in a room, and Qiu Feng and Wang Fu Lin Jinbao in a room. This night, some people slept peacefully, some people tossed and turned, and after getting up early the next day to clean up, everyone immediately began to give gifts one by one.

Wang Fulin remembered the favor that Mr. Nanming gave to the four sedan chair men before, and personally took Jinbao to the most elegant one among the mansions at the foot of Songming Mountain, the purpose was naturally to thank and give gifts.

As soon as he handed over the post, the porter glanced at him first and said with a smile: "In those days, I learned that the little minister had successfully reversed the situation and maintained his reputation, and the lord was very happy, and he also praised the successors of the Wang family. However, today's little minister came unfortunately, my lord was invited a few days ago to go to the Wu family's orchard in Xixi South Village, on the other side of the river, with two uncles and several ministers from Fenggan Society, and was not at home. Or, the little minister left things and posts, and the master Ming'er came back, and the villain sent a letter to you? ”

Wang Fulin knew that this should not be prevarication, but this trip was really unfortunate. He was not discouraged, and left his farewell with a letter of worship and gifts. Next, he took Jinbao to the patriarch Wang Daohan's house.

This time, Wang Daohan's attitude towards the two of them was much kinder and kinder. Whether it is for Wang Fulin to rely on his own strength, he has successfully reversed the fame turmoil that is unfavorable to him, or for the sake of his brilliant poetry and writing in front of the great grandmaster, he has to be polite to the rising star in the clan, so after receiving the gift, his return gift is several times more valuable, and he actually gave Wang Fulin a side of the inkstone, a piece of ink, and inspired him to work hard to gain fame, and even encouraged Jinbao to study hard, filial piety to the elders, and said a lot of words, he sent the guest.

Then it is much easier to give gifts in other places, Wang Fulin took Jinbao and his two sisters, and sent out pastry cakes and snacks, as well as various colored cloths from Jiangnan specialties, and others gave back all kinds of grains, rice, vegetables and vegetables harvested by themselves, and even directly sent a few pieces of cured meat and a small basket of eggs, which were regarded as a return gift. All in all, the Wang family now receives enough gifts to eat for more than half a month.

From the county town full of flowers in the bright and behind the scenes, back to this quiet Songming Mountain, Wang Fulin only felt that the whole person was a lot more relaxed from the inside out. He reverted to the old days of daily morning exercises, walking around the whole village to brush up popularity, reading and writing and teaching Jinbao. Moreover, now there is no need to worry about losing his fame anytime and anywhere as before, and he threw Wang Qiu's hob meat to serve his sentence, and he has a lot of freedom these days. He also seriously considered whether to send Jinbao to study in social studies, but when he thought of the progress of this kind of big pot rice, he wondered if he should ask Mr. Nanming, whom he had never met, to find a reliable Mr. Xixi.

The problem is that Huiwen over there has become a long-term residence, and people have not come back yet!

And as the weather became hotter and hotter, thinking of the idler who swam in the wild at the beginning, he even planned whether to get up early every day in the future to practice swimming for a while! Of course, you have to bring a lifeguard who knows how to work in the water. The body is the capital, and now he has to ensure that he lives a long time before he can take on other responsibilities!

After returning to his hometown for a few days, when the pine uncle from Xixi South Village came to Songming Mountain again, he mentioned that Ye County Zun in the city had a messy stick, and the cane scolded the rumor-mongers who were tied up by Cheng Kui and sent to the county government. Although he only brought out two unlucky ghosts, Wang Fulin could still express his satisfaction.

Anyway, Ye Xianzun was almost unlucky before, and he should have grabbed this clue and continued to go deeper, so he didn't have to worry about it.

Now Wang Fulin is most concerned about his own economic accounts, and in the next few days, he almost broke his mouth, and finally persuaded Wang Erniang to show himself the account book. In the afternoon of this day, he was cleaning out the simple ledgers, when he suddenly heard the loud bang of the outer door. Puzzled, he raised his head, and only heard a sound of talking outside, and after a while, the voice turned into a shout. Distinguishing that Wang Erniang's loud voice was among them, he didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately got up and went out. When he walked through the second gate and came to the front yard, he saw Wang Erniang glaring angrily at a middle-aged man.

"There are so many big families in Qianqiu, why should you send my family's grain chief? My brother is a talent, and his family can be exempted from servitude! Wu Lichang, if you can't say that you are ugly today, then don't blame me for publicizing it, my parents are not at home, and you will bully our young family! The devil wants to be the chief of the grain! ”

The middle-aged man was none other than Wu Lichang, who was the head of Qianqiuli this year. He was said by Wang Erniang's face turned blue, and when he saw Wang Fulin coming out of the second gate, he seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, leaving Wang Erniang and stepping forward and saying: "Little official, this is really none of my business, although I am the chief of this thousand years, but I can talk about such a thing as a grain chief, I can't wait to never let me be the captain, but this is not a round of ten years, can't I escape?" This matter was decided by the county government, and I just passed on a word, who could have known that Ling Zun would be sent as the grain chief? ”

Seeing that Wang Fulin didn't speak, he said with a bitter face: "After I heard about this, I also asked about the exemption of students from servitude in surprise, but I was immediately sprayed all over the face by the Zhao priest in that house. He found out the old example for me, and said that in the first year of orthodoxy, Grandpa Yingmiao made a decree that he would be exempted from miscellaneous errand service, and Lijia was not exempt from regular service!

Zhao Si said again and again, this grain chief is the first to serve, not to mention that you are not a petty official who is not sent, just say that Ling Zun is in the prime of life, there are more than 100 acres of land at home, and there are more than ten stones of grain every year. I was speechless by him, and there was no way but to come from the county seat to deliver a letter to you! ”

"It's too bullying!" Wang Erniang ran back angrily, and was about to scold again, but was stopped by Wang Fulin.

"Wu Lichang, right?" Before Wang Fulin met, the middle-aged man nodded hurriedly, and he said lightly, "Since it is not something that can be clearly explained in a while, then come to my study." Jinbao, you take Wu Li into the study first. ”

When Jinbao, who came out to see the movement, hurriedly came over and took Wu Lichang to the study inside, Wang Fulin said to Wang Erniang, who was biting her lip: "When it comes to the end, it's useless to just jump your feet." Don't worry, I'm there for everything! ”

Seeing that his brother treated Xiaomei and Jinbao as usual, he actually stretched out his hand and rubbed it on his head, and then went to the study without looking back, Wang Erniang finally couldn't hold back anymore, and the whole person squatted down at once, tears came out of his eyes. I vaguely heard the little sister in her ear crying anxiously to herself, but after wiping two handfuls of tears, she still couldn't suppress the sourness of her eyes and nose.

It's only been less than ten days since my brother returned to his hometown, why does God always bully his family?
