"The fourth uncle has just been married for a year, and the fourth sister-in-law won't have any ideas!" Dong Xueer said worriedly.

"Your fourth uncle is going to take the imperial examination in the future, and you also said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, and I think your fourth aunt is also a person who understands righteousness and should support it!" Dong Changhe is a man, and his thoughts are different from women's, he said indifferently.

Cher didn't say anything more, so she just acquiesced.

A year ago, Qiao Gongzi, who came to make trouble, was sentenced to exile because of a lawsuit involving someone's life, and Qiao Yantie was also sentenced to exile for corruption and bribery, and the family was used as official slaves.

The people of the Qiao clan no longer cover the sky with their hands in Shilibao, and now they are all carrying their tails between them.

At that time, no one dared to make trouble in the county man's mansion.

The Dong family can be said to have had a peaceful life in the past two years, and Dong Changhe has also purchased 5,000 acres of wasteland again in the past two years.

Today's Dong family can be said to be the most famous noble family in Changhai County.

In particular, the common people have a very good impression of the Dong family, and privately say that the Dong family is a rare family of goodness.

For example, this time the Dong family was sealed again, except for Xue'er's 10,000 taels of gold, which was not moved, and the 10,000 taels that Dong Changhe got were used to build bridges and repair roads.

This time, it was the other villages that were blessed.

Dong Changhe's idea is very simple, the silver that the Dong family has earned in the seeds in recent years is enough to spend for several lifetimes, and the king is sympathetic, and the price given is twice the market price.

Since they were willing to give up this reward last time, they can't keep it alone this time.

As for the reward for Xue'er, Dong Changhe and his wife planned to keep it as Xue'er's dowry and could not use it.

Dong Changhe handled the matter of road repair and took the time to go to Sanjiagou.

When I entered the door, I saw that my father and eldest brother, father and son, were both there, and the atmosphere was quite solemn.

Dong Changhe saw Lili before he asked, "Dad, what are you discussing here?" They all look sad! ”

Dong Xiucai sighed deeply, glanced at his silent eldest son, and then looked at Dong Chengyi, who bowed his head and pondered.

He said indignantly: "You ask your eldest brother, and Chengyi." As a father, I can't persuade me! ”

"What the hell is going on? Isn't Chengyi in the academy? Why did you come back at this time, and you were bullied in the academy? Dong Changhe guessed.

Dong Changjiang raised his head and glanced at his son before saying: "Chengyi resolutely refuses to study anymore, he doesn't listen to what I say, my father has been persuading him for a long time, but this kid just doesn't agree, he has to drop out of school!" Ask him why, and he won't say why.

The second brother happened to be here, help the eldest brother persuade him! ”

Dong Changjiang was about to cry urgently, he was such a son, and his mother could not be reborn, and all his hopes were on this son.

The second family has a title, and the descendants of the family can enjoy the glory and wealth without having to struggle, and the children and grandchildren do not have to worry.

The third child has the help of the second child, and now he can stand up and be a man in his father-in-law, and his two sons are now not worried about food and clothing.

The fourth child married the daughter of the dean, and he has a reputation for being famous, so he may not be able to go further in the future.

Of the four brothers, only he, the eldest son, was tired, although the second brother also helped their family a little, and it was only in the money. His son is no longer researching, what hope does he have?

Dong Chengyi is also Dong Changhe's nephew who has been loved for many years, and Dong Changhe was also surprised when he heard that he was no longer studying.

Dong Changhe frowned into the "Sichuan character" and stared at Dong Chengyi and asked seriously: "Chengyi, you told the second uncle, why didn't you study, you were really bullied in the academy?" ”

The person Dong Chengyi respects the most is his second uncle, and he can't help but answer when the second uncle asks, he looks up and says sullenly: "Second uncle, I haven't been bullied, it's just that the master looks down on people, and I don't like him, so I don't want to study."

Besides, didn't the second uncle stop at Xiucai? But it has also made an earth-shattering event, and there may not be any good future in the ten-year cold window! ”

Dong Changhe didn't expect his success to become a negative teaching material for his nephew, and said bitterly: "The second uncle couldn't continue to study back then, and no one in the Dong family didn't know that I was not in good health." Can't you continue the scientific expedition, is it your second uncle and I who are willing to do it? ”

"Yes, Chengyi, your second uncle studied very well at that time, not because of his health, and it was not a problem to get the top prize.

His success was accidental, not inevitable. You have only one hope for your big house, if you don't study, can you repeat your second uncle's success? Dong Xiucai said with red eyes.

On the fire kang in the backyard room, Cai's crying eyes were red and swollen, and she continued to cry, she said to Qin's: "Mother, you go and help persuade you, Chengyi has been brought up by his mother since he was a child, and he will definitely listen to what you say!" ”

Qin Shi also shed tears, she sighed and said, "Just because Chengyi was brought up by me, I knew that the things that this kid decided couldn't pull back even the nine cows."

Your father is persuading, if you can't ask his second uncle to persuade him, and his third uncle and fourth uncle may be able to listen to it. ”

Cai's was like grabbing the last straw, he didn't cry anymore, and said with red eyes: "Yes, my mother is right, I want my father to come forward and ask a few of his uncles to come back to persuade him, Chengyi still has feelings for his uncles, maybe Chengyi will listen to their words!" ”

Dong Changchun is now embroidering a dowry at home, waiting to prepare for marriage.

After hearing this, he also came out of the boudoir, saw the image of his sister-in-law, frowned and said: "Chengyi has been a pretty good idea since he was a child, there must be something in this that we don't know." ”

After a pause, Dong Changchun continued: "We must first ask what the reason is, so that we can prescribe the right medicine, otherwise even if the second brother is here, it may not be able to make him change his mind." ”

In the main courtyard, Dong Chengyi continued to quibble: "What about the third uncle?" The third uncle also stopped at showing off his talents, the third uncle's health has always been very good, didn't he drop out of school back then? Now it's not worth a lot of money, but it's also a rising star in Changhai County! ”

"That's because of your second uncle's help, your third uncle got the monopoly right to sell cotton cloth, otherwise wouldn't he be unable to straighten his waist in front of the Zhao family?" Dong Xiucai glared and hated iron and said with hatred.

At the beginning, the third child refused to continue studying, he said it, persuaded and persuaded him, and then the Qin family forced him to die, but he couldn't change the third child's decision, and he was angry when he talked about it.

"Our Dong family has the help of the second uncle, and it will not be bad, the second uncle can help the third uncle, and he can help Chengyi! I believe that with the help of my second uncle, I can do it too!

Besides, there is a second uncle in Changhai County, and no one can bully the Dong family.

My study grades are average, even if I am admitted to the Jinshi in the future, I am the last, at most I will be a small county commander, and there is no one to help me in the court, when will I come out? ”
