Jiao Niang returned to the room with a hanging heart, sat on the chair and pondered, thinking hard about how to deal with it, thinking that Shen Peiwei would definitely remember the old hatred, and now that she has caught the handle, it is impossible not to tell the truth.

"I can't care about that." Jiao Niang said quietly, "As the saying goes, catch the traitor and catch the double, anyway, no one will get the stolen goods, at most it will make the master suspicious, and I will live in peace in the future." What's more, one of her daughters is embarrassed to say it? If she doesn't say it, if she does, the old lady will have to take revenge. ”

His mind was full of calculations and worries, and in such a state of fear, he unconsciously fell asleep in bed.

Liuwan Village.

Shen Dashan asked in a low voice, "Young Master, why don't you just go in and make a bid?" Snatch people over, and as soon as our Shen family makes a move, then the tooth woman is not discouraged and hurry up?"

Shen Kan didn't speak, just shook his head slightly.

Of course, he can go in directly to ask for someone, but a dignified young master came forward to compete with the Ya Po who had an appointment in advance, first, it is not in accordance with the rules of the industry, and secondly, God knows what gossip will be spread, such as the young master of the Shen family fell in love with the poor girl of Lori, and broke into the Li family to bully people.

The third is to put an end to future troubles, he went in and intervened, and the Li family will undoubtedly happily agree, but how much money will be given? If you give too much, he will feel distressed, and if you give too little, will the Li family be unwilling afterwards? You can't be wronged when you do good deeds.

So for the sake of safety, let Ya Po negotiate the price first, take the person away, and then buy someone from Ya Po, if the Li family is really unwilling afterwards, it is impossible to bargain from Ya Po, so it will save a lot of trouble.

Of course, Ya Po will definitely take the opportunity to open his mouth, it doesn't matter, follow the fourth brother to the city tomorrow, Shen Zuo said that he would take him to meet the nephew of the county master, and then you might as well ask the Ya Nei to call someone to spread a word, and bully people like Ya Po with power, he has no psychological burden at all.

At this time, there has been some bargaining in the house, and Ya Po has to give money according to her age, one tael of silver for one year old, and ten taels for ten years old.

Sister Yun is still a yellow-haired girl, with her current appearance, it is unlikely that she will grow into a country and a city, illiterate, and a peasant girl, and a virgin body is a must, and she is not to sell it to Qinglou.

In the end, Ya Po saw the current predicament of the Li family, and there was no capital to counteroffer at all, so she conrespectfully said that she would add an extra one or two pieces of silver as a reward to Wang Baoren, and the matter was decided.

"What kind of world is this?"

Holding a handful of white flowers and scattered silver, Father Li looked incredulous, and sold his daughter so simply?

He tried his best to wipe away his tears with his sleeve, and looked at the silver carefully for a moment, "Is this my daughter?" Oh my God!"

Aunt Li's eyes were red and swollen, and she changed the prepared set of clothes and pants to Sister Yun, telling her that she would come back after going to a relative's house in the city for a few days, but Sister Yun's tears kept flowing.

As if in order to comfort her mother, but also seemed to be unwilling to believe it, Sister Yun asked innocently in turn: "Mother, can I come back tomorrow?" I don't want to eat alone. ”

The family looked at her intently with tears in their eyes, a few more glances, the last chance.

Soon, the mother-in-law took Sister Yun's little hand and left the house step by step.

Aunt Li really went crazy and wanted to catch up several times, but in the end she sat on the ground dejectedly and cried loudly.

In the distance, Sister Yun's delicate and crying voice was heard.

"Mother, I don't want to eat alone, I don't eat anything, I don't eat anything."

"Mother, I'm coming back tomorrow!"

"Dad, brother, you must remember to pick me up...... Woo...... Mother......"

“…………”

Shen Kan, who watched this scene, was in a very heavy mood, and he couldn't tell what it was like, in short, he was panicked in his heart.

In ancient times, the people really had no welfare, and if they wanted to live without worries in the second half of their lives, it was not enough to accumulate thousands of family fortunes in the first half of their lives, they must have meritorious fame, otherwise there would be no minimum protection.

"You must study, and you must be admitted to show your talents."

Witnessing the tragic scene of selling his daughter, Shen Kan finally clarified the direction of the future.

Ten taels of silver, if the Li family is frugal, the family will probably be able to last for four or five months, and the future life will have to rely on the hands of the father and son themselves.

Shen Kan took Shen Dashan and turned to leave, he didn't think about helping the farmers buy new seeds, because neither the government nor the landlords would sit idly by.

Pei Zhixian should understand better than anyone the truth that "the government comes from the people, and the people come from the soil", and if he does not hurry up to support the peasants to plant crops, there will be no harvest in the autumn, and no one will be able to reap the benefits of that year.

Moreover, Pei Zhi County will definitely send people to monitor the landlords' families, if they dare to take the opportunity to exploit the peasants, then wait for the government to take advantage of the opportunity to fish and meat.

When he returned home in the evening, Shen Kan took out his private money, and counted out about twenty taels, which should be enough.

At the same time, Shen Jiamo also came back, first went to see his parents, and did not go to his wife's room, but entered the door of Jiao Niang.

Seeing that she was sleeping, Shen Jiamo reached out to wake her up, and said with a smile: "Get up, it's time for dinner."

"Oh." Jiao Niang got up listlessly, forced a smile, and inevitably felt weak in her heart.

But it happened that the second wife, Gan, told a maid to come over, and said: "Tomorrow is the 50th birthday of the Ke family's aunt and grandfather, and the aunt over there sent the housekeeper's daughter-in-law to pick up the lady and miss, and I specially ask the master to show me, will the little lady go tomorrow or not?"

When Shen Jiamo heard this, he snorted coldly: "Lao Ke is becoming more and more unvirtuous, he celebrates his birthday, what do you want my daughter to do?"

Jiao Niang was suddenly overjoyed, wishing that Shen Peiwei would go out immediately, and after a day, she would come back and tell the truth again, and she would have even more denial.

It was she who said: "The lord is old-fashioned again, on the birthday of my uncle, what is wrong with my aunt sending someone to pick up my niece and go over to be lively?" Instead, he didn't let his daughter go to pay homage to her birthday, and she couldn't say anything about her love and etiquette. ”

"It's not that I won't let Peiwei go." Shen Jiamo frowned, "It's not because of the past, if the nephew of the Ke family doesn't give up, once he comes up with something to say, how about it?"

Jiao Niang said with a smile: "There are a lot of people during the birthday salute, and Young Master Ke is still out to accompany the guests and has no time to separate, how can you have time to go in and see your daughter?" Besides, there are so many female dependents in the back house, not to mention that you are not going to pay homage tomorrow? The master watched it himself, what are you afraid of? So just call the young lady to go. ”

"Yes." Shen Jiamo nodded frequently by her, his brows furrowed, and he instructed the maid: "Call Miss tomorrow, remember to go early and come back early."

"Yes." The maid said yes and turned to go.

After eating in the evening, the lady who was eating tea couldn't help but feel very annoyed, how good would it be to know that Master Ke would have a big birthday? Tomorrow, most of the whole family will not be at home, and I can take the opportunity to sneak out and have a good time with my Zhao Gongzi, wouldn't it be wonderful? It's a pity, it's a pity.

At this time, Shen Kan also learned about this, and it stands to reason that he had to escort his wife over, and by the way, on behalf of the brothers who did not go, he paid homage to the birthday, but he was worried about Sister Yun in his heart, and went straight to Shen Xiangdao's residence at the moment.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard the angry reprimand of the fourth uncle.

The maids and servants in the courtyard were silent one by one, and Shen Kanxin said what's wrong? Hurriedly walked in.

Seeing Shen Xiangdao kneeling on the ground, the fourth aunt had a sad face, and Shen Jiaji said angrily: "Mr. Today, because he is my son, I can't help but love him, and I don't expect to explain the history book to him today, I saw that he was looking down at the broken chess book again, and he smirked vigorously."

Shen Xiangdao still wanted to argue, but Shen Jiaji said again: "Why don't you grow up so much, beast? If you don't think about the merits of making progress, but if you are stubborn, why should you abandon Nell? Okay, you say, what books have you read lately?"

Sun was busy giving his son a look, knowing that Mr. today praised the fourth and fifth children a lot, but did not mention Xiangdao, so the husband was inevitably ashamed and came back sulking.

Shen Xiangdao said aggrievedly: "Since my son is studying, how dare he not use his work?" Don't say that the scriptures and history in front of you are the ancient books on the first floor of our family's library pavilion, all of which are in the womb of my son. The father often taught his son that reading is not expensive, and that reason is precious, so his son has always only liked to acquiesce to the subtle understanding in order to understand the will of the sages. ”

Shen Kan outside the door was surprised, and said in his heart that the elephant road is not simple!

Shen Jiaji was even more angry, and said loudly: "Okay, what ability do you have, dare to be presumptuous in front of me!" It stands to reason that if you are not ashamed to speak so loudly, you should make a big problem. It's okay, forgive you for not having the talent of Daogu, I'll make a pair now, if you can get it, it proves that you have worked hard, count me down, if you can't come out, then you will kneel until dawn, and you will have to be punished when you get up. I ask you, do you dare to be right?"

"Hmm." Shen Xiangdao seemed to have found a rope when he was drowning, and nodded vigorously.
