Chapter 116: Brother Yuan'er's Ambition
Zhao Zhuang put the list on the table, his face was dark, he didn't lock it, and his eyes were full of incomprehensible sorrow, "Mother, the dowry for Brother Yuan'er and his mother back then was not even half of it, and besides, how can our family have so much silver." ”
Jewelry is a bottomless pit, a little better than a dozen taels of silver is gone.
Aunt Wang took out a money bag and put it on the table, "What you earned from doing business before, as well as the compensation given by the academy to 1, plus the mother has saved almost all these years, the loss will be the dowry jewelry of Brother Yuan'er and his mother, if Lan Lan minds, then it will be successful to buy a new one." ”
"No, no." Zhao Zhuang denied it, "The things left by the child's mother are all left for Brother Yuan, and I can't move them." Moreover, this empties the family, if there is something in the family, what should it be? ”
Not to mention that his mother is old, in case she has a headache and brain fever and needs silver, Youyi also said that Brother Yuan still has to make up for his body in the future, and it is also silver, he really can't joke about the family's livelihood.
"What's not to do. I have a strong body, and I can also go to pulp and wash and work in the future, and if you go to the city to open a shop and look at the store in the future, the income will naturally be considerable. Aunt Wang had already calculated it, "I think about staying up for a few months, and our family will be rich." ”
"Mother, that's all we have in our family, why do you have to spend all your family money?"
"Da Zhuang, think about it, Lan Yatou's family is an only daughter, and their family promised that these things would be brought back in the past, and they would not be considered to have hollowed out the family, and the mother was measured."
"Mother, things are out, and it's all a matter of people who can't come back, how can you be sure of what you say?"
Although Aunt Wang said yes, Zhao Zhuang didn't believe it.
Seeing that he was stubborn, Aunt Wang became angry, "Are you because you don't believe in the Jiang family, or do you have someone else in your heart?" ”
"Mother, what are you talking nonsense, we are obviously talking about the dowry." Zhao Zhuang was also irritable.
Aunt Wang snorted: "I have already told others about the dowry, so you can do it." ”
Zhao Zhuang couldn't make sense, so he could only be anxious.
Aunt Wang glanced at him, and when she saw that he was silent, she eased her temper and continued: "There is one more thing, starting tomorrow, Brother Yuan will not go to the medicine garden to take classes. ”
"What's going on here?" Zhao Zhuang was confused, "Brother Yuan'er is doing well in class, I have seen him a lot more sensible recently, and he has begun to speak in a regular manner, and some people who read have come out, why don't you let him go?" ”
"Hmph, who knows how the people in the medicine garden taught it." Aunt Wang couldn't listen to Zhao Zhuang helping others speak, and mocked: "Although Brother Yuan didn't have knowledge before, he followed me, so he knew how to be polite and knew that he cared about me." Look at what he's become now. ”
Zhao Zhuang was stunned, "Brother Yuan is very good." ”
"Good, good, good. He didn't call anyone when he came back to Lan Yatou today, so even if he dared to throw his face at me, he opened his mouth and said that Lan Yatou was not a good person.
It's not because I've heard some rumors outside, that's why it's like this. Anyway, I'm not happy that Brother Yuan will go in the future, lest some people teach our children badly. ”
Aunt Wang was annoyed and unhappy.
Zhao Zhuang sighed, he couldn't make the decision about his own marriage, and he didn't care about his mother, but he couldn't back down when it came to Brother Yuan'er's study.
"Mother, I depend on you for everything else, but I need to ask Brother Yuan about studying, if he is willing to go, then I will definitely not stop him. Regardless of whether this child becomes a talent or not in the future, I don't want him to complain about me when he grows up. ”
"You, good! Good! If he becomes disobedient and unfilial in the future, you should not regret today's decision. ”
Aunt Wang pointed at Zhao Zhuang angrily and scolded, I really don't know what means Ji Youyi did to make this big father and son so desperate.
"If my mother is nothing, then I'll go back first."
Zhao Zhuang took the dowry list, and walked out without waiting for Aunt Wang to continue to speak.
"Brother Yuan?" Back in his room, it was pitch black, and he whispered.
There was a noise in the inner room, and he lit the candle and went back to the inner room, where he saw the child hiding under the covers. Although there is a large temperature difference between day and night, after all, it is summer, and it is a little hot to cover the quilt at night.
"Ah, it's hot. Such a thick quilt covers our Yuan Ge'er, it's really going to be hot. ”
He put down the candle flame, and then pulled the quilt, but he didn't expect Yuan Ge'er to pull the quilt tightly and refuse to let go.
Zhao Zhuang didn't know what grievances the child had suffered, but it was impossible for the child to lose his temper for no reason, so he asked in a good voice: "What's wrong with Brother Yuan?" Did grandma say something unpleasant? ”
"Daddy, can you not marry that woman, she's not a good person."
Brother Yuan hid in the bed and said in a muffled voice.
"Brother Yuan, I know you don't like this Jiang girl, but you can't talk like that, you know?"
In the face of Zhao Zhuang's reprimand, Brother Yuan chose to remain silent.
He can't say the reason for this, and the adults won't listen to him, even if he doesn't understand the relationship, An An has already analyzed it with him, and she chooses to listen to An An.
Zhao Zhuang knew that he was still unhappy because of Jiang Lanlan's affairs, but now that the matter has been decided, he can't return.
"Brother Yuan, I know you are unhappy, but this matter is an adult's business, as a child, you just need to study hard and strive to be a productive person in the future. Would you still like to go to the medicine garden to study? ”
"Of course I do." Speaking of reading, Brother Yuan lifted the quilt violently, his eyes flashed with uneasiness, and he asked excitedly, "Daddy, won't you let me go?" ”
It was the same before, and suddenly sent him to a private school in the city, and didn't let him go to the medicine garden, could it be that this time he was going to be sent away again?
Zhao Zhuang saw that he was a little excited, and reassured: "Don't worry, Daddy doesn't mean anything else, it's just that Daddy can't help with the matter of studying, so Daddy asked what you mean." If you are willing to go to the medicine garden to study, it's too late for Daddy to be happy. In our village, the children who can read can be counted on one hand, and if you want to study hard, my father agrees with a hundred. ”
"Mmmm, I like to read. I think reading is very interesting, and Aunt Ji told me that knowledge is power; The sixth grandfather told me that reading changes fate; I want to study, participate in the imperial examination in the future, and be an official, just like the county magistrate. ”
Brother Yuan happily talked about his future plans, and suddenly seemed to think of something, stopped chattering, and said seriously: "I want to study in the medicine garden, in the medicine garden, with An An." ”
He emphasized that in the medicine garden, together with An An, it can be seen that going to the school to study before really left a psychological shadow.
Zhao Zhuang actually didn't really care about his grand goal, people who have always read don't know geometry, the last show was already a glorious ancestor, and those who can be officials are all behind them, they are poor and remote, and it will be very good to be a master in the future.
