Chapter 18: Turned Away
In the evening, Zhang Tieniu went home, and when Tie Niu Niang saw that her son was back, she couldn't close her mouth happily, and it was Zhang Luo who was cooking and stir-frying vegetables and hot wine.
"I'm finally back, these days can make me and your father worry badly, I'm afraid that something will go wrong when you go out on a business trip for the first time......" Tie Niu Niang's chatter was interrupted by Tie Niu's father.
"What nonsense, Tie Niu is clever when he is young, follow me, what can he do." Tie Niu Daddy sat at the table with a wooden crutch, Tie Niu Niang was busy, and Tie Niu Dad asked her to buy two catties of meat, "It's not easy to go out on errands, if you can't eat or sleep well, give Tie Niu a good way to make up for your body." ”
When eating in the evening, Zhang Tieniu was always cowardly, and the two of them only thought he was tired, and they didn't care.
"Tie Niu, how do you look at the second girl Qin embroidery in the Qin family's tailor's shop?" Tie Niu Niang smiled and didn't see her eyes, she ran into Qin Xiuniang two days ago, and said that she was willing to give twenty taels of silver for the marriage, and Tie Niu Niang was happy like something.
This is not a small number, the average family marries a daughter-in-law for only a dozen taels of silver, and some poor families even spend only five or six taels of silver to marry a daughter-in-law, and some girls marry only a half-worn dress.
Tie Niu Niang was back then, and the history of blood and tears that was laughed at by the concubine is simply unbearable.
There is a widow in the Qin family who leads two daughters, and the Qin widow used to be an embroidery girl in a large family, and she has some family background.
Two years ago, the eldest girl of the Qin family got married, and now there is only one old girl left, and the Qin widow is afraid that her daughter will be angry at her in-law's house, so she is willing to give more dowry.
Although the dowry can't be handed over to the mother-in-law to collect, it is their younger family after all, and the horizontal and vertical are their own silver.
"There is also Zhang Dashan's family in Shanlitun, his family is 100 acres of land, and he said that he is willing to accompany 6 acres of upper land, and his girl is a concubine......"
"There will be no more ......"
Zhang Tieniu slammed his chopsticks on the table, startled the two of them, and looked at him together.
"It's okay, I ate a little too much, I'll go out and eat and eat." Zhang Tieniu stood up and went out, leaving only the two of them looking at each other......
After leaving the house, I walked a few houses, stood at the door of Li's house, looked in through the courtyard wall, there was no light in the house, and I fell asleep so early?
Of course Li Qingyou wouldn't have gone to bed so early, she had just finished cooking and eating with her brother in the Xili.
Afraid that someone would find out about the existence of Ah Di, Li Qingyou deliberately blocked the quilt on the window, so that the light could not be seen out, and he thought that there was no one at home outside.
"That means the Li family can't make trouble again in the future?" Ah Di also heard about the affairs in the yamen, and his little face was surprised and happy.
The Li family is not a good family, and Sister Qingyou must be angry when she goes to his house.
"Pretty much." Li Qingyou nodded, but she didn't dare to take it lightly, her wealth was moving, and in the eyes of the Li family, she was an outsider, I'm afraid it wasn't so easy.
I don't know where the guy I was looking for ran away, I obviously said it's okay, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to make such a fuss, it shouldn't have been a broken silver and ran away, right?
If you had known, you wouldn't have given the money.
"It's just a pity that you'll have to stay in the house for a few more days." Li Qingyou looked guilty, "I'll see if there's any way to do it." ”
It's not a thing to stay in the house all the time, not to mention that Ah Di is playful, even adults can only walk around the house all day for fear of suffocation.
Ah Di said sensibly that it was okay, he understood the severity of the situation better than Li Qingyou, and the longer he hid, the safer he became.
It's really boring though.
Looking at the well-behaved boy, Li Qingyou went up and rubbed his head, such a good child, how could those people bear to do it?
The next day, Li Qingyou thought about it and grabbed an old hen and sent it to the Li family, if Zhang Tieniu hadn't spoken in the court yesterday, maybe the county master would have to let the Li family adopt her.
Zhang Tieniu came back from an errand, and the county magistrate granted him three days off, and he just got up and was chopping firewood in the yard.
When I raised my eyes, I saw Li Qingyou coming, and I almost didn't split my hand in a panic, but I was just watched by Tie Niu Niang, and I was almost scared to death, so I was busy looking to see if I was injured.
"It's okay, just slip my hand down, and I'll go in and drink saliva." Zhang Tieniu dropped the axe and entered the house, his steps a little flustered.
Tie Niu Niang was wondering, when she saw Li Qingyou at the door, and after thinking about it, she understood her son's abnormality.
The son knows that she knows this girl in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to think about marrying the Li family before, but now it's different.
Tie Niu Niang blocked Li Qingyou at the gate, this is still for the sake of the old hen in her hand, otherwise she won't even open the door.
When I heard that my son said in front of the county master yesterday that he would take care of her, Tie Niu Niang almost lost her breath, how did she raise such a stupid son.
This girl is not a safe person, isn't this kind of woman a disaster when she enters the house?
"Don't you dare to take care of it, we are small families, and our lives are not good at home, how can we have the spare energy to help others?" The iron cow girl is weird, but she didn't hesitate to pick up the old hen's action, and she didn't know that she thought it was her family.
Li Qingyou smiled good-naturedly, understanding what Tie Niu Niang meant, and she didn't come for her in the first place.
"Is Brother Tie Niu at home, I want to thank him in person." After all, he helped a lot.
And Zhang Tieniu is different from his mother, he is very good, and he has helped her a lot in the past three years.
"No, I'm going to the yamen." Tie Niu Niang opened her eyes and said nonsense, "Isn't this the county master who saw that our Tie Niu was doing things neatly, and let him do errands, he just came back, and he was not idle." ”
Li Qingyou lowered his eyes, and when he just walked over from afar, he saw Zhang Tieniu in the courtyard in a trance.
But she knows what Tie Niu Niang means, so let's wait until we meet in the future to thank him.
"That's okay, my aunt is busy, I'll go back first." Li Qingyou was about to leave as she spoke, but Tie Niu Niang suddenly called out to her.
"Tie Niu is also not a small child, it should be the age of marriage, you know a lot of little girls, there are suitable aunts to pay attention to. My aunt treated you well in the past, can this little favor help my aunt? ”
Helping is, telling Li Qingyou that it's true that he is worried about Zhang Tieniu.
Li Qingyou naturally heard it, and he was not surprised, so he smiled and said okay, then turned around and left.
Tie Niu Niang looked at her back and pouted, "What's the matter, the mourning star who hooked up with three and four, and still wants to harm my son, I think of beauty." ”
In the room, Zhang Tieniu heard the conversation between his mother and Li Qingyou clearly, turned over and sulked to himself.
Yesterday, he ran to Li's house as soon as he came back, but he saw a large group of people around the door from a distance, and he went out for a few days, so he naturally didn't know what happened to Li's house, or only learned about it after listening to people's discussions.
Originally, he looked at Liubo and his gang of people and bears, and wanted to go in to help, but he heard about Li Qingyou's cousin, and he took back the steps he took out.
Later, I couldn't bear it in court, so I stood up to help plead......
