Ning Zeli was very puzzled by what his eldest brother said, he felt that his sister-in-law was right, the eldest brother was picking flowers and causing grass outside, and it was natural for the sister-in-law to be angry.

Therefore, Ning Zeli chose to be silent.

Ning Zeren didn't know what Ning Zeli was thinking, so he couldn't help but sigh and said: "If your sister-in-law is as arrogant as before, it would be okay to divorce her, she has become gentle and watery recently, and she is much more beautiful than usual, alas......"

Ning Zeli remained silent.

"Alas, if only our father were still here." Ning Zeren sighed and said, "He will definitely think about us." ”

"Big brother, I think our father is very good to us, and our mother is good." Ning Zeli coughed a few times and said, "If you think your father and mother are not good, why don't you go out and live alone?" ”

Ning Zeren looked shocked!

I couldn't talk anymore this day, Ning Zeren got up and left, if he talked to the third child again, he would definitely be angry, it was better for the old two, and the old two definitely wanted to leave here.

Ning Zeren thought so, knocked directly on Lao Er's door, forcibly called Lao Er, and the two brothers returned to the guest room to rest.

"Big brother, what are you doing waking me up in the middle of the night, I have to go to the grain store tomorrow morning." Ning Zeyi said impatiently, yawning, lying on the bed and stretching.

"I want to go back to sleep." Ning Zeren sat on the bed, looked at Lao Er, and complained, "Why do you say that our father and mother have to let our brothers marry only one, it's not good to take a concubine, hug left and right, and now you don't have to look at your daughter-in-law's face." ”

Lao Er turned to the bed and said vaguely: "Our father has his own reason, and it is right to listen to our father." ”

Ning Zeren was almost so angry that he vomited blood, kicked on the old fart~ stock, and said: "If our father is our father, he will definitely be willing to let us take a concubine, and he will definitely not divide us at every turn." ”

Lao Er was already sleepy, but when he was tossed by Ning Zeren like this at this time, he was angry, and said fiercely: "It's you who are making a family breakup, my father never said about splitting up the family before!" ”

Ning Zeren was stunned.

Lao Er didn't want to stop like this, he worked hard in the grain shop all day to earn that few dollars, and the eldest brother could get a lot of money when he studied at home, the more he thought about it, the more he felt unfair, and decided to teach the eldest brother to do things, and said: "You spent so much money in the family, not only do you want to buy exam questions, but also want to take a concubine, you can't support your own room, why are you asking so much?" ”

Ning Zeren looked shocked.

The more Lao Er thought about it, the more angry he became, he glanced at Ning Zeren, and said angrily: "Do you know that Mr. Bookkeeper in the town earns 500 wen a month, do you know that many Xiucai only have 100 wen a month for copying a book, you don't know any of this, you haven't made a penny, you can ask for a few taels of silver when you open your mouth, and your father is already very good to you." ”

Ning Zeren's eyebrows twisted into a ball, and he wondered: "Didn't our father just paint a picture casually for dozens of taels of silver?" ”

"Whatever?" Lao Er is not sleepy at this time, he sat cross-legged with his legs and said with a cold face, "A painting is dozens of taels of silver, yes, our father's painting will take dozens of days, and a painting will have to be painted several times, dozens of times, hundreds of times before it can be sold at that price, you think it is easy for our father to make money, that is done, you also go to make money!" ”

How dare Ning Zeren respond, when he was in the academy, he thought about copying books to make money, but the money he earned from copying books was too small, he couldn't look down on it at all, thinking that it would be good if he didn't have money to ask his father and mother, why waste time copying books, it's not good to read a few more books.

"Big brother, do you know why my father didn't go to the imperial examination before?" The second felt the need to hit the big brother.

"Didn't Dad say he didn't want to study?" Ning Zeren thought in his heart that his father must have liked his mother too much and didn't want to study at all, so he stayed at home with his mother, of course, he wouldn't say these words.

When Lao Er heard Ning Zeren say this, his whole face darkened completely, and he said: "Dad is to make money to support us, so that you can study hard and become a talent, if Dad is studying, I guess you don't want to study like me." ”

Ning Zeren was puzzled.

"Do you know how talented your dad is in the exam?" Lao Er asked.

Ning Zeren thought for a moment and said, "Fourteen years old." ”

Lao Er glanced at Ning Zeren and sneered: "Dad has been studying since he was nine years old, and he was admitted to the middle school at the age of ten, if it weren't for our father's stopping, it is estimated that he would be able to be admitted to Xiucai at the age of ten, let's put it this way, we have less than 100 Xiucai under the age of 16, and the fourth brother has been admitted to Xiucai at the age of eight, so he should be the youngest in Daxia Kingdom." ”

Ning Zeren vaguely seemed to understand what Lao Er was going to say.

"Our father is a genius, he is afraid that he will be easily admitted to the lifting of people, and ordinary people like you and me will have no face to study anymore. If our father is not a genius, how can the fourth brother be a prodigy? Seeing Ning Zeren's thoughtful appearance, Lao Er thought about it and said, "Our mother is also terrible, she learned words with our father, she also memorized a lot of medical books by herself, don't you know, the third child is now studying medicine with our mother!" ”

Ning Zeren originally thought that he was the most promising person in the Ning family, even if the fourth child was admitted to Xiucai, he felt that he would stand up first, how could the fourth child take ten or twenty years to stand up, and when he heard Lao Er say this, he was suddenly frightened and felt a chill in his back.

"The third child is now forced to learn medicinal materials every day, I heard the third child say that our mother taught him much better than what Langzhong taught in the village, and our mother knows all the properties of many herbs." Lao Erchang sighed and said weakly, "Our father and mother used to want us to work hard, and they were afraid of hitting us, so they have been hiding it, and now they feel that they can't count on us, and they start to use real skills." ”

Ning Zeren trembled a little with fright.

Lao Er glanced at his eldest brother, and snorted coldly: "People in the clan say that our father is a genius who is rare in a hundred years, you think that genius is so easy to be annihilated, let me tell you, the paintings sent by others, the shopkeeper of the bookstore is too expensive to collect one or two taels of silver, and only collect dozens of taels of silver and hundreds of taels of silver from our father's paintings." ”

"Our dad, our dad is really that powerful?"

"That's not it, last time our father had a painting that sold for a thousand taels of silver." Seeing that his eldest brother's face was pale, Lao Er said with disgust, "You don't study hard and don't study hard to make money, isn't it rare for our father and mother to dislike you." ”

Following.

Ning Yongchuan and An Manyue got up, talked and laughed in the house, and after the two of them cleaned up, they went to the dining room together.

An Manyue sat at the dining table in a good mood, and the person standing at the top of the food chain was really happy, and he could sleep until he woke up naturally every day, and he woke up with meals made by others.

"Mother, today is the breakfast I made," Li looked at An Manyue with a smile and said, "I have been studying with my third brother and sister for a long time, so I thought about making it myself to see if it tastes good or not." ”

"Okay." An Manyue was very satisfied with Li's change, she was originally worried that Li would lose her temper this time, but now it seems that she is thinking too much.

An Manyue lowered her head and drank a sip of white rice porridge, the taste of this white rice porridge was no different from before, and after eating a few bites of pickles, spicy tears suddenly came out.

Pickles are freshly fried every day, and it must be that Li didn't pay attention to putting too many chili peppers.

An Manyue's corner of his eyes noticed that Li Shi was staring at himself, pretending to be calm, and said with a smile: "Yes, it's really good." ”

When Li heard An Manyue say this, he was immediately very happy, and said happily: "Mother, I will also make it for you at noon." ”

"Done." An Manyue held back tears, people who had just cooked needed encouragement, and she couldn't dampen Li's enthusiasm.

After breakfast, Ning Zeren sat on the stool and looked at his father and mother who were talking and laughing and walking out, and then thinking about what Lao Er said last night, he felt that he was too naïve before......

An Manyue and Ning Yongchuan went out for a walk together, and the two of them walked towards Ning's field.

"Today, the boss's face is a little wrong, I don't know if it's uncomfortable." An Manyue found that something was wrong with the boss when she was at the dinner table, but she didn't say it, after all, she didn't want to see the boss now.

"If he wasn't feeling well, he would have said it a long time ago, and if he didn't say it, he would be fine." Ning Yongchuan said indifferently, holding An Manyue's hand, "What do you want him to do, the restaurant in the town is almost full, how is the wine you brewed?" ”

This wine was brewed by An Manyue and Ning Yongchuan when they came back from the county seat, the first batch of wine tasted bad because of lack of time, and the second batch of wine tasted good.

"There aren't many wine jars at home," An Manyue looked at Ning Yongchuan with a smile, smiling and looking forward to it, "I have to buy more wine jars when I go back." ”

Ning Yongchuan looked at her smile, his heart skipped a beat, his palms sweated unconsciously, and he pretended not to care and said, "Okay, I'll buy it in the afternoon." ”

An Manyue covered her mouth and chuckled, and said: "When the third daughter-in-law is the head chef, let the eldest daughter-in-law and Xiaocui help, and then buy a mother-in-law to come over to help, and let Xiaocui and her mother-in-law live in a restaurant in the future." ”

An Manyue thought of the indifference of Xiaocui's family, and sighed helplessly in her heart, fortunately, Xiaocui didn't care about that now.

"Okay." Ning Yongchuan had no objection to what An Manyue said.

An Manyue looked down at the hands held by the two people, looked at Ning Yongchuan suspiciously, and asked curiously, "Are you very hot, or let's not hold hands." ”

An Manyue felt that although it was important to show affection, if he was too hot and felt uncomfortable holding hands, the two of them should not hold hands.

"I'm not hot!"

"Huh?"

Ning Yongchuan let go of An Manyue's hand, took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands clean, and then re-held her slender and slender hand, and said, "It's not hot." ”

Two blush crept up on An Manyue's cheeks, she looked down at her feet, raised her foot to kick the stone out, and didn't speak.

What Ning Yongchuan and An Manyue didn't know was that on the tree on the top of the mountain, a woman was looking at them with a telescope, and the woman's face was full of haze.

"An Full Moon, I hope you don't be too scared, otherwise it will be boring!" The woman showed a grim smile, and in an instant, she disappeared.
