It contains all the belongings of the old Xu family, real estate, land deeds, broken silver, and a whole small denomination silver ticket.

Xu Youde did not move the broken silver on the surface, and took all the silver tickets at the bottom of the box, a total of about sixty or seventy taels, which were all the pension coffins he and Xu Zhang's had saved, and then replaced them with fake silver tickets prepared by Xu Darong.

These were not enough, and he pulled out the innermost deed, which was four acres of land......

The sum was about one hundred taels, and Xu Youde put the things one by one, and the layers were restored as before.

The box was closed and locked.

The key was hung back on the waistband of Hsu Zhang's trousers.

In the quiet night, Xu Xiaohei slept on the eaves of Xu Jiaojiao's backyard, and heard the subtle movement in Xu Youde's house, it raised its head, distinguished it, and sensed that it seemed to be Xu Youde's husband and wife, not outsiders, it shrank its head again and continued to sleep.

The next day, Xu Darong took Dalang to the county seat.

said that he only asked for three days off from the master's family, and Da Lang also asked Liao Qing for almost the same time, and it was about to be the day of the Xiucai exam, and he went home to review the last period of time quietly.

The old Xu family did not keep it, and when he was leaving, Xu Darong intentionally or unintentionally said that he wanted to order Qingxi Xu wine to take and send gifts to the master's family and Dalang's masters, but Xu Zhang's family refused.

"Our family's wine was not even enough to sell, and there was no such thing as a gift. What are you sending this year? If you want to take it to give gifts, you can buy it with silver, and your old sister is not a living Bodhisattva, if you don't want to have a mouth like this, you can get your wish. ”

Xu Darong forget it.

With a stupid look, he took Da Lang away.

After they left, Liao Qing and Xu Jiaojiao planned to boil a batch of tranquilizers, this was the last batch of snow stone lotus insects brought by He Boji, Mrs. He's illness has improved a lot, the He family's demand for tranquilizers in the future will be greatly reduced, and the number of snow stone lotus sent by me may gradually decrease.

Xu Jiaojiao is in her hometown, and the source of Snow Stone Lotus is almost zero except for the He family's supply, and after boiling it this time, the future Tranquility Pill will have to be saved.

Of course, she can also spend money to collect it, but this thing is very rare and too expensive, and she can't afford it at the moment.

The two prepared the stove medicine pot, closed the door and boiled the medicine, Xu Jiaojiao gossiped, "This snow stone lotus, if you have silver money in the future, you still have to collect it, Xiao Hei, a foodie, wants to eat one every month, I also need to eat one from time to time, He Boji is going to the battlefield again, and I won't catch insects...... By the way, this time when you go to take the Xiucai exam, you also bring a tranquilizer pill to eat, and it is estimated that you will be in better spirits for a few days, and you are not afraid of dozing off in the exam! ”

Liao Qing smiled and said, "Then I'm not cheating?" No one else has a tranquilizing pill, I take such a good concentrating pill, am I not bullying others? ”

"Phew! Who are you bullying? You are a person who even rubs the school, and you haven't been rubbing for long, and a group of students who have been studying in the school since childhood, and have studied for at least ten years, go to the Xiucai exam, are others bullying you, or are you bullying others? Xu Jiaojiao also smiled.

Liao Qing said seriously, "That's okay, then I'll bring a lowest-grade tranquilizing pill, or half a medium-grade pill, don't eat too much, I can't bully people too much!" ”

Talking and laughing, the work started, and the two of them were experienced in boiling tranquilizing pills together, and the various cooperation was quite high.

Speak with your mouth, and don't delay things in your hands.

The old rule is that before boiling the tranquilizer pill, everyone eats the lowest grade tranquilizing pill, which can improve the quality of the tranquilizing pill.

A few more excellent ones will come out today!

Xu Jiaojiao remembered something again, "By the way, these days, the three of you children are studying in the study, how do you feel about Da Lang's homework?" ”

Liao Qing thought about it and didn't know how to describe it, "His focus is always on how to bet on the right topic...... Articles and the like, well, I don't feel any soul and depth, maybe poetry and poetry are his strengths? ”

Xu Jiaojiao: ......

"What about you?"

"It's better than him, if that's his real level. However, whether I can pass the test or not depends on whether my daughter-in-law is blessed, and my daughter-in-law is blessed, so I can naturally pass the test, right? ”

Xu Jiaojiao was happy, "I'm sorry! ”

The two talked and laughed, but Xu Jiaojiao actually didn't have much expectations for Liao Qing.

After all, this product is a wild road from beginning to end!

was admitted to the first place in the children's school, which surprised her quite a lot.

But Xiucai is not as good as a child, how many people are in this pit, and how many years have they not climbed up? Far from it, Da Lang is a ready-made example.

"If Da Lang is like this, then Dad is afraid that he will be disappointed again this year. Forget it, it's not something we can worry about......"

"That's it, let's not worry about this, just take care of ourselves, daughter-in-law, let you sleep in your arms at night?"

Xu Jiaojiao shuttled him with white eyes, big guy, what about your reserve? !

When he arrived in Qingshui Town, Xu Darong told his son that Xu Youde had secretly given the silver.

The father and son went straight to the silver village in the town, exchanged all the silver tickets into cash, and went to Yahang to transfer the land deed at a low price.

and he received more than a hundred and twenty taels of silver.

Mei Zizi went back to the county seat.

When they got home, Xu Darong's father and son looked proud, so that the Yao family who came out couldn't believe it.

"Got the money?"

"Well, one hundred and twenty taels, my father hid it from my mother and my family. Da Lang, you take these twenty taels to buy the question, discuss it with your classmates, let's not say no, just say that we only have these twenty taels on hand for the time being, and after the exam, we will make up the rest of the ......" Xu Darong is a shrewd person.

To be honest, this bet costs fifty taels, which is too expensive.

What if it doesn't work?

Don't look at how reliable and accurate he blows in front of Xu Youde.

In fact, he also had a skeptical attitude in his heart, first gave a deposit of twenty taels, and if he was admitted, he gave the rest, and if he failed the exam, he only lost twenty taels.

Xu Dalang pursed his lips, "Dad, what do you mean by this?" Fifty taels, you can't trust me, or can't trust my classmates and friends for many years! It's not up to you to go back alone to ask for money this time, how hard I have worked and how good I have behaved in order to make a good impression on my grandfather! You can't say that without faith......"

Xu Darong said, "What does it mean to believe without words? In this way, you invite your classmate and friend to our house, and Dad has a good talk with him, you are embarrassed to open your mouth, I will tell him, it's done, right? ”

Xu Dalang choked, "Didn't you, didn't you just have dinner with him last time?" He's told you everything, and you still don't believe him! Said okay fifty taels, people still take care of me, replaced by someone else, it must be half out, people only charge me half of the half, it's enough to be interesting, if you still do this, it's clear that you don't trust people, what if people don't give me this opportunity? ”
