Chapter 4: Tearing the face
After the meal, only the third daughter-in-law cleaned up the table diligently, and An Manyue and Ning Yongchuan went back to the house.
As soon as he returned to the house, An Manyue rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to check the title deed and house deed at home, and then stuffed it into Ning Yongchuan's hand, and advised: "You hurry up and go to the government to exchange these things for red deeds, so that the big house can sell the things along the way." ”
An Manyue's words are no exaggeration, the eldest daughter-in-law Li often walks the things in the original makeup box, there are worthless powder, and there are also valuable silver earrings, but the original body is cowardly, and he doesn't dare to say a word of, not only that, but the original body will prepare a birthday gift for the eldest daughter-in-law every year.
Ning Zeren told An Manyue a few words and went out with the title deed, as soon as he left with his front foot, the eldest daughter-in-law Li came in with his back foot.
"Mother, why don't you help your husband speak at the dinner table?" The eldest daughter-in-law, Li, said something weirdly, and sat on the edge of the bed after entering the house, as if this was her room.
An Manyue looked at Li with a complicated expression, the corners of her lips hooked indifferently, and asked, "What, you still want the family to buy books for the boss?" ”
"Mother doesn't want to be an official's wife?" Lee asked rhetorically.
"Do you want to buy books, or do you want to buy exam questions?" An Manyue smiled indifferently and asked.
Li was stunned by An Manyue's words, since her mother had already guessed it, she didn't need to hide it, at this time she didn't notice An Manyue's expression at all, her eyes widened, and she complained in pieces: "The money in the family was originally used for my father-in-law to study, spend some money to buy exam questions, and wait for the father-in-law to become a big official, our family is developed, such a good thing, why don't you want to do it, father, mother, you are too selfish and stingy!" ”
"Selfish and stingy?" An Manyue raised her eyebrows and glared back mercilessly.
Li was stunned by An Manyue's sudden aura, and the mother-in-law in his impression was a soft and easy to handle white rabbit.
An Manyue sat up straight and said indifferently: "Most of our family's money is spent on the boss, the boss wants to study, it is normal to spend some silver, how can you bring up this kind of thing, you are still the daughter of the Xiucai family!" ”
"You ......" Li ran out of words.
"Xiucai takes the exam once a year, if there are a lot of people cheating this time, the boss will also take the exam, and it's not too late to go again next year, anyway, he's still young." An Manyue said eloquently, and every sentence was reasonable, so angry that Li's face darkened, "Besides, your big house has spent so much silver, and it is not fair to the other rooms." ”
"How can it be the same, this year is special, Xianggong is twenty years old this year, this year's examination is Xiucai, and you will be able to participate in the autumn examination in the second half of the year, if you miss the opportunity to take the Xiucai exam this year, Xianggong will not be able to participate in the autumn festival in the second half of the year, and you will not be able to participate in next year's spring festival, you are delaying the future of my father-in-law!" Li Shi took a sip, said it all in a fit of anger, and glared at An Manyue fiercely.
An Manyue didn't take what Li said to heart at all, and looked to the side with an indifferent expression, "The imperial examination is orthodox, in case someone with a heart will spread the news of buying and selling exam questions, won't the boss be arrested and imprisoned?" ”
"As long as we don't say it, who else knows?" Li's mind is now full of buying test questions, and she feels that her in-laws are jealous of her man's talent and childishness, and completely forget that her father-in-law is already a talent.
"Since you want to buy it, then you and the boss can take their own money, don't bother us!" An Manyue didn't bother to talk to people with unclear minds anymore, and indifferently ordered the eviction, "Go out!" ”
Li didn't pay attention to An Manyue at all, and turned her head to look through the wooden cabinet on the bedside table, which happened to be unlocked, and her stupid mother-in-law put the title deeds in the wooden cabinet on weekdays.
Li dragged out all the messy things in the wooden cabinet and made the bed all over the place, but he didn't find the title deed.
"Mother, where are you leaving the title deed?" Li Shi stared at An Manyue with a gloomy face, but An Manyue's indifferent attitude successfully angered her, "I advise you to take out these things quickly, otherwise you will look good." ”
"I'm already good-looking!"
"You ......" Li has never seen such a brazen person, he was so angry, the good quality that had been disguised disappeared at this moment, he grabbed his hair angrily, and looked disdainful, "That's right, if it weren't for your fox face, how could my father-in-law spend thirty taels of silver to marry you, a virtuous and incompetent person, home, our Ning family is a scholarly family, just because of you, a fox and a fox, my father-in-law has not yet been admitted to Xiucai, bah, the family is unfortunate!" ”
That's right, the original husband spent thirty taels of silver to marry the original body because of his good-looking appearance, and it was precisely because of this incident that the original body never dared to argue with the Li family.
"Smack!"
Bright red finger prints suddenly appeared on Li's face, and she was blindfolded by An Manyue's sudden slap, and her mouth opened wide in a daze.
"When the daughter-in-law ran to the mother-in-law's house to rummage through the cabinets, your father taught you that?" An Manyue looked at the mess in the bed and didn't fight anywhere, and said coldly, "My man is willing to spend thirty taels of dowry to marry me, what's your business!" ”
By the time Li Shi recovered from the shock, she was already standing outside the door, thinking of what happened just now, she really didn't have the face to go in again, so she could only cover her face and run away.
The Ning family is not big, and the miserable scene of the Li family just fell in the eyes of the Xu family and the Su family, but she didn't dare to laugh at the Li family, who let the Li family have a talented father, I heard that the Li family's father is likely to appoint the master of their county.
The third daughter-in-law pretended to be very busy, bowed her head and began to work.
Xu Shi leaned on his waist and pretended to be very tired and went back to the room, and she still pretended not to see the sister-in-law who was repaired by her mother, so that the sister-in-law would spill her anger on herself.
No one in the lunch room came to eat, and there was a strange atmosphere in the dining room.
An Manyue was still eating very comfortably, and when she saw that everyone had finished eating, she put down the dishes and chopsticks and got up and went back to the house, and said to the third daughter-in-law, Su Shi, "You come in with me." ”
"Hey." Su Shi responded in fear, and then cautiously walked towards An Manyue's house, with a sad face, for fear that her mother would spill all her anger on her.
When the third daughter-in-law, Su Shi, pushed open the door and entered the house, An Manyue was packing up the clothes on the bed.
"Mother, I'll do this kind of trivial thing."
"The cabinet on the left holds my clothes, and on the right there is your father's clothes." Although Su Shi has an inferiority complex and is timid, he is really diligent in his work, and An Manyue got up and sat on a chair next to him to watch Su Shi work.
Su was bought by his family when he was seven years old, and Ning Zeli, who was eight years old at the time, cried and wanted to marry her, so Ning Yongchuan bought Su as a child daughter-in-law, and it was precisely because of this that Su had low self-esteem and had been holding his tail between his tail in the Ning family.
She remembered that in the novel, after the Su family and the third Ning Zeli got married next year, the original owner and his wife were fooled by the Li family, and the three rooms were separated and separated, and the Ning family suffered, and Xue Yu escaped alone and then went to find the male protagonist, and was finally killed by the female protagonist. In the end, only one of the three rooms survived, and the two of them were still worried about Su Wan'er's revenge, so they went to the country by boat......
After Su finished packing up his things, he saw his mother sitting there in a daze, and he didn't dare to speak, so he stood aside with his head down, wondering if he had done something wrong.
An Manyue came back to her senses, looking at Su Shi's cowering appearance, her heart couldn't help but soften, and beckoned to Su Shi, "Come here." ”
"Hey." Su Shi bowed his head and answered, and walked quickly to An Manyue, thinking that her mother had beaten her sister-in-law, would she be beaten......
When she was nervous, her hand was held by her mother, and then there were some heavy cold and hard things in her hand, she was immediately stunned, her heart was warm, and her eyes were hot.
This?
Is this a copper plate?
Su Shi looked at his mother with a stunned expression, and then realized that it was true that her mother said that she should buy meat.
"Go buy two catties of pork, make a profit!" An Manyue didn't want to see Su Shi's moved crying expression anymore, turned his head to look aside, and directly kicked Su Shi out.
Su Shi smiled brightly, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth, his face looked even darker, and the whole person was stupid.
After blasting away the Su family, An Manyue began to count the small treasury hidden by the original body, don't look at the love of the original couple, but the original body still has his own careful thoughts, and secretly saves money for his own pair of children.
The Great Xia Kingdom has existed for more than 20 years, these years the wind and rain have been smooth, and now the saints are wise, and the people only pay 20% of the taxes all year round, and if it is the previous dynasty, they can pay 40% of the taxes a year.
An Manyue turned out all the six money bags hidden in the house, a total of three taels of silver, to tell the truth, she also preferred the two children born in the original body, maybe this is the wonder of blood.
An Manyue knew it in her heart at this time, and she hid the three taels of silver in one place, and she still had to save some private money, who would be afraid of having more money this year?
An Manyue read the book in the house, but the voice of the old (second) daughter-in-law Xu was startled outside.
"Third brother and sister, how can you go to buy meat alone, why don't you call me, what if you are deceived?"
"The old (second) daughter-in-law, you quickly give the meat to the third daughter-in-law, and you will be tired of holding the meat!" As soon as An Manyue went out, he saw the old (second) daughter-in-law Xu holding the meat and not letting go, looking like she couldn't wait to eat the meat directly.
When Xu heard An Manyue say this, he had a constipated expression on his face, reluctantly stuffed the meat into the hands of the third daughter-in-law, Su, let go of his hand with a painful face, and turned his head away aggrievedly.
"Mother." Su Shi finally had a little brain at this time, and approached An Manyue and carefully curryed favor, "Are we cooking and eating or making dumplings?" ”
Two catties of meat is a lot, but there are many people in the Ning family, and everyone can't eat a few pieces of this equal share.
Today is Ning Xueyu's birthday, and it is also a good day for An Manyue and Ning Yongchuan to come through, and An Manyue has prepared several dishes.
Bamboo tube tamales are An Manyue's favorite dish, and Su Shi can't make this dish, so he can only do it himself.
An Manyue asked Su Shi to kill a chicken again, and fried the spicy chicken, and did not forget to tell Su Shi to study the side, so that she would not do it after Su Shi learned well.
An Manyue and Su Shi were busy in the stove room, and Ning Yongchuan came back from outside.
