When I arrived at Xiaozao Village, it was already completely dark.

A few people got out of the car and took their things down, and Xu Lanyin gave the coachman two silver horns.

The coachman can't enter the city now, so he has to stay in the West Chamber for one night. He drove the car to the backyard and was invited by Zhao Wu to the West Chamber.

The Qin clan was anxiously looking forward to them at home, and they were happy to see a few people come back safely.

Seeing a large number of things moved into the house, some of which were particularly exquisite, he exclaimed, "How can you buy so many things?" ”

Xu Lanting said, "Mother, many things were given by Master Min and Brother Hu. ”

Will Lord Min still send his own things? Qin Shi wondered.

Xu Lanyin smiled, "I'll talk to you later." ”

The Fujian government sent a set of colorful porcelain tea sets, eight pens and eight inks, a pen holder and a washing inkstone, and two good rice paper.

The Hu family sent two pieces of silk, five catties of sugar, and five catties of tea.

Qin killed a chicken quickly, ordered a pot of chicken noodle soup, fried a few vegetables, and asked Xu Lanzhou to take it to the West Chamber, while Zhao Wu accompanied the coachman to drink.

When the Xu family was eating, Xu Lanyin probably talked about Xu Lanting's experience of seeing a doctor and selling embroidery, as well as hypnotizing the Min household. and instructed the Qin family not to tell the public about the hypnosis of Minhu. briefly talked about being dragged as a witness for the murder on the road, and did not say anything about his hypnotic arrest of the suspect, for fear of scaring the Qin family. She also specifically said the name of Qin Che, who is the same acquaintance in Ningzhou, saying that Qin Che is elegant, particularly amiable, and speaks with a Jiangnan accent.

The Qin clan was interested in the previous few things, but after hearing Qin Che, he didn't realize it, and he didn't have anything unusual because of this name. Xu Lan was disappointed, and it seemed that she was too careful.

She handed over the silver ticket of five hundred taels of silver to the Qin clan, which made the Qin clan smile and squint.

After the meal, Xu Lanzhou took a few pieces of silk, two pine sticks, a beaded forehead, a leather hat with ears, tea, sugar and wine and other gifts to the big house. Before leaving, he asked, "How much did the embroidery sell to tell grandpa and grandma?" ”

Xu Lanyin said, "Tell the truth. ”

If you don't dare to say this money, how will you buy a house in the county and provincial capital in the future.

Although she was answering Xu Lanzhou's words, she was saying it to the Qin family.

Qin hesitated and said, "Before, your father would honor them with more money when he earned a lot of money, should we also give some, otherwise your father will be unhappy, and your eldest aunt will gossip......

Xu Lanyin said, "Let's be filial, those things we gave away are worth more than five taels of silver." In the future, I can't develop the habit of my father's time, and as soon as the second room earns money, I must send my grandmother and the big house. When my father gave them so much silver, when our family was in trouble, what did they give us to tide over the difficulties? Brother Da Shi secretly took a tael of silver, which doesn't seem like much, but it is likely to be almost all of his private rooms, and I remember this to this day. Grandma is to be filial, especially my grandmother, we can increase the filial piety silver every month and the New Year when we have surplus in the future, but we can't give it to them as soon as we earn money...... Besides, the embroidery was embroidered by the mother, and it was also the mother's dowry silver. There is no reason for the father-in-law to worry about the widow's dowry, and the sister-in-law has no reason to worry. ”

Xu Lanzhou felt that it was such a reason, but when she saw such an eldest sister, she was still a little weak in her heart, and hurriedly took her things and left.

Qin also said that Xu Daya was born with a five-pound son the day before yesterday, and she was a widow who was not easy to come to the door, so she went to the big house and gave Gu's one hundred yuan and a chicken and twenty eggs, and asked her to hand them over to Xu Daya.

Xu Lanyin didn't have much affection for Xu Daya, so she only said "oh".

In the big house of the Xu family, the old couple's eyes lit up when they saw so many good things, and the old man Xu took the fur hat and smiled, "This hat is better and thicker than the fur hat worn by the old patriarch." Good boy, I didn't hurt you in vain. ”

Mrs. Xu first played with the pine stick, and then wiped her forehead with beads and smiled, "Ouch, this forehead is shining, it's better than the landlord's wife." Milk is a country woman, it's a pity to wear such a good thing. Zhou boy remembered, don't buy such a good thing for your milk in the future, and keep the money for your study. ”

Xu Lanzhou said with a smile, "This forehead was specially picked by my sister for the milk, saying that the milk is rich and noble." ”

Old man Xu also laughed and said, "Silly old woman, your second son's family has so many fields and shops, aren't you a landlord's wife now." He asked Xu Lanzhou again, "I saw your mother's embroidery, it was so good, the eldest daughter-in-law said that it was a double-sided embroidery of Suzhou embroidery, which was worth a lot of money, how much silver did you sell?" ”

Xu Lanzhou said, "The embroidery was sold at a good price, five hundred taels of silver." ”

Gu's eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "God, I sold it for so much money." Before, she was very happy that the second room had sent so many root things, but now she feels that it is too little.

Old man Xu was also unhappy in his heart, and the fur hat he had been playing with in his hand was also put on the table.

Xu Lanzhou saw that they were unhappy, and hurriedly said, "My sister said that my family is having a better life, and I will give my grandmother a tribute to my grandmother in the future." ”

Old man Xu was embarrassed to say why he had to wait until later, if he wanted to give it now, he grabbed the handle in Xu Lanzhou's words and reprimanded, "Everything is your sister and your sister, that girl will marry sooner or later, and she is from someone else's family." You are the eldest son of the second room of the Xu family, why do you listen to the words of a girl? Something that doesn't make a difference, Bai taught you so much truth......"

Mrs. Xu hurriedly stopped, "What are you talking about, because the girl and the boat boy went to the provincial capital to bring us so many good things, they are all filial and good children." Because the girl is smarter now, she is the eldest sister, if she is right, there is nothing wrong with Zhou Xiaozi listening to her. ”

Old man Xu said to Xu Lanzhou again, "Those silver should be squeezed tightly, don't spend it randomly, and plan it." If there is another loser in the family, or there is a famine year, it will not be like your family in previous years......"

Balabala taught Xu Lanzhou how to hold on to the silver, not to be defeated by the woman or to take it cheaply for others.

Although Xu Lanzhou was also afraid that Xu Lanyin would lose her family again, she didn't like to hear others say bad things about her, explaining, "My sister won't lose her family again, and most of my family's money is earned by her......"

The old man was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, but was stopped by the old lady. The old lady said, "The boat boy has worked hard all the way, go home and rest." ”

Xu Lanzhou would not be stupid enough to poke there and be beaten, so he quickly ran away.

As soon as Xu Lanzhou left, Mrs. Xu scolded, "You old lamp, if Zhou boy said those words to the second daughter-in-law and the girl, people would hate you to death." ”

Old man Xu stiffened his neck and said, "No matter how much you hate me, I will help the second child keep his family's family business." ”

Mrs. Xu sighed twice and sneered, "I just knew that you were helping the second family so much." At the most difficult time for the second family, the Qin family and Lan Ting were going to die of illness, and Lan Zhou dropped out of school, why didn't you take out the money to help the orphans and widows of that family? When the second child was alive, he honored you with a lot of silver. ”
