Chapter 222: Sour and astringent

Old man Shen didn't say anything when he heard Wan's words, although he felt that it was not appropriate to do so, and he was even more unwilling in his heart, but compared to thousands of taels of silver, those unwillingness were naturally nothing.

Old man Shen has always been a person who knows how to weigh the pros and cons, a few thousand taels of silver and the so-called 'hatred', he naturally chooses silver, and they countrymen actually don't even see what a few thousand taels of silver look like.

Seeing that Old Man Shen didn't say anything, Wan Shi thought that he was not happy, so he hurriedly pushed him and said anxiously, "Old man, what do you say when my son talks to you?" That's a few thousand taels of silver. ”

Old man Shen came back to his senses, thought about it, and finally nodded, "Cheng, third, just do as you say." We still have three baskets of peach gum left in our house, and we will sell them to you. ”

"As for the money...... I don't want your mother and me, you have a good save, and it can be regarded as a pestering for you to be admitted to the show and then go to Beijing to catch the exam, and then you will need to be dealt with by all parties, and you will have to spend a lot of silver, which can be regarded as the support of your family. ”

Old man Shen said as he spoke, and his tone became solemn, looking like a father and son talking to themselves.

"Third brother, you also know the situation of our family, your two brothers have done everything they can in order to provide you with education over the years, you must be more courageous, and give the old Shen family glory to your ancestors in the future, and it will not be in vain for me, your father and the eldest brother and the second brother to work hard for you."

Although Old Man Shen and Wan never thought that these peach gums could be sold for so much silver at the beginning, but now the more the merrier, both of them hope that Shen Shuisheng can be admitted to the show as soon as possible to let the old Shen family glorify their ancestors, and now they don't have to deposit silver for him, which makes the two of them even more happy.

But Old Man Shen remembered the words of his eldest son in the morning, and felt that he should still beat the third son, so that even if he had a chance in the future, he could not forget the old Shen family, forget the brother and sister in the family.

Shen Shuisheng was immersed in strong joy at this time, he never expected that his father and mother would not sell the silver of peach gum, originally he wanted to fill his pockets from it, so he said that eight taels of silver and a pound of peach gum were five taels, and he was so excited at this time that he knelt down and kowtowed to the two of them, and his face was moved.

"Dad, mother, my son knows that you and the eldest brother and the second brother are good to me, I thank you, as long as your son is admitted to the show before he is admitted to the juren, and becomes a big official, I will definitely let you two old people enjoy happiness."

When Wan Shi heard this, he felt like he had become an old lady, and he was so excited that he hurriedly helped him up.

"Okay, good old man, I know that our third child is a filial child, and it is not in vain that my father and I have cultivated you all these years."

Shen Shuisheng nodded, as for the matter of the little mule, he was not in a hurry to say, he planned to give his mother some mention tomorrow, as long as he didn't ruin his reputation, he could do anything.

And he is now ready to have a few thousand taels of silver, where will a broken mule cart be rare, he plans to buy a carriage, and when the time comes, he will buy a carriage and sit in Beijing to take the exam, so that all the villagers in Xishan Village envy him Shen Shuisheng.

When Xiao Wanshi cooked the noodles and came over, she heard the laughter of the three people in the hall, she lay at the door and listened for a while, but she didn't listen to anything, but she was a little disappointed, and directly brought the bowl of clear soup noodles in, with a smirk on her face.

"The third uncle of the child, there is no meat at home, add a little greens, you will eat it."

Wan's face was full of wrinkles with a smile, and she was so amused by Shen Shuisheng that she couldn't do it, but when she saw Xiao Wanshi coming in with such a bowl of noodles and putting it on the dark table, she seemed to change her face, and looked at Xiao Wanshi with angry eyes, and scolded directly in her mouth, "You idiot, didn't you let you put some meat?" What are you cooking? Can this be eaten? ”

Xiao Wan, who was scolded as a fool, argued for himself with a look of grievance, "Mother, we can't even eat such white noodles usually, why can't we eat this?" Besides, where did the meat come from in the kitchen, I wouldn't be able to put it without me. ”

Wan Shi looked suspicious, "No meat?" It must be Xiaoshuang's dead girl who is hiding, see if I don't clean her up. ”

Shen Shuisheng hurriedly grabbed Wan's, the clear soup and noodles were good, he just wanted to eat quietly, and he didn't want to see the noisy ones as soon as he got home, "Mother, these are good, second sister-in-law, thank you very much." ”

Xiao Wan waved her hand and hurriedly slipped away, she could be scolded for anything, and she was really wronged.

Shen Shuisheng sat at the table and ate noodles in a sucking slurp, and Wan Shi on the side looked distressed, "Is this noodle enough to eat?" Shall I give you some dried turnips? That damn stinky girl, she even learned to hide the meat This trick, it must have been taught by the old family, otherwise where did she get so many hearts. ”

Old man Shen had just finished speaking, and he had already gone out to gossip with the old man in the village, and at this time there were only two mothers and sons, Wan and Shen Shuisheng, and Shen Shuisheng saw that she had been talking about Shen Shuang, and he also felt a little irritable.

"Mother, you have been talking about Xiaoshuang, since you don't like her so much, then find a matchmaker to marry her off, don't make the family restless. At the beginning, you were really, you actually replaced her and Forsythia, and Mrs. Zhang knew about it, fortunately, Lord Zhang and his wife did not pursue it, otherwise you would definitely be imprisoned. ”

When Wan Shi heard this, her face suddenly changed, she didn't think that she would be imprisoned if she changed her child, but she was a little apprehensive when she heard it at this time, and hurriedly asked, "This, I don't know, the third child, I'm going to be fine, right?" You can be saved, save your mother. ”

Shen Shuisheng shook his head, "That Lord Zhang didn't plan to care, even if this matter is over, don't worry, mother." It's just that I think Xiaoshuang grew up in the capital after all, and she is probably also restless, mother, you better discuss with my eldest brother and them quickly, marry her, don't cause any trouble. ”

Shen Shuisheng knew that Shen Shuang was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and of course he hoped to make good use of her, but if there was no way to use it, then find a way to drive her out of the old Shen family as soon as possible, and it would be okay if she couldn't see her.

When Wan Shi heard that he would not go to prison, he was immediately relieved, "Didn't I still think that in the future, if my own granddaughter was promising, and she would marry some big official or something, I, a milkman, would be able to enjoy happiness?" Who knew that Xiaoshuang's stinky girl was a fool, and she couldn't eat fat brains, such a girl, even if she gave it to others, she would be returned. ”

Wan Shi said and remembered the gossip that Shen Shuang and Xiao Orion often talked about, and his heart became more and more anxious, "Third child, didn't Bao Niang say last time that the youngest son of the blacksmith shop is suitable?" You and Bao Niang she will know, when the time comes, let him come to the house to see each other, as long as you close your eyes, let Xiaoshuang's dead girl get married, and you don't have to dangle in front of me all day long, I really annoy me when I see her now, I know all day long, I know that I am noisy, sharp-tongued, and I don't listen to your father's words. ”

Shen Shuisheng nodded, "I'll mention it to Bao Niang." ”

"That's good."

Wan Shi thought of the little mule at the door again, "Third child, originally my mother wanted your eldest brother to give you his little mule, but Xiaoshuang's stinky girl was a hindrance, and your eldest brother was not happy, since this is the case, you will use the silver to buy a mule cart and go to the big house angrily." ”

Shen Shuisheng: "...... I know mother. As he spoke, he hurriedly told her not to do these things in the future, and to discuss with him if there was anything.

Wan didn't understand anything, of course, he was looking at his son's words.

Shen Shuang has been in the house since she came back from a walk after work, and when it gets dark, she sits under the oil lamp and writes, and she has written two stories in the past few days, and she doesn't know how the situation of Mr. Meng, the storyteller in Yunlailou, is.

On the other side, the little hunter arrived home with the roe deer and two pheasants he had hunted when it was just getting dark.

At the end of the day, he didn't eat anything, he put away his prey, lit the oil lamp, and planned to go to the kitchen to get something to eat, but when he opened the lid of the pot, he saw dumplings in a basket in the pot.

Little Orion was stunned, reached out and picked up the basket, and found that there were three different kinds of dumplings inside, and it was obvious that Shen Shuang was the only one who could bring him food.

Tired from hunting, I came home tired, I thought it was a cold pot and a cold stove, but I didn't expect that there was ready-made food.

Little Orion suddenly had a sour and astringent feeling in his heart, similar to moving, more like a feeling of being happy and being remembered, it turned out to be like this.

He held the basket in one hand, the oil lamp in the other and turned back to the house, looked at the dumplings in the basket, picked up the chopsticks, and tasted everything, fried dumplings, steamed dumplings and dumplings, everything was delicious, he dared to say that this was the best dumpling he had ever eaten, because it was given to him by Shen Shuang.

It was late at night, and the hut at the foot of the mountain was quiet, but you could hear the sounds of beasts coming from the mountains.

Lying on the bed, the little hunter didn't fall asleep for a long time, and he didn't know how long it was, when the sleepiness hit, he whispered a few words, "Xiaoshuang, thank you." ”

……

The little hunter is actually able to speak, and the doctor in the medical hall said a few days ago that his poison has been cured, and he can speak, but he has never wanted to try it in front of people.

And he hadn't seen Shen Shuang these days, and he didn't know who to talk to, he didn't want to talk to himself.

He was a little annoyed that he had gone hunting today, otherwise he might have been able to see Shen Shuang in person and let her be the first to know that she was no longer dumb.

For the sake of Shen Shuang's reputation, it was not easy for the little hunter to go to the Shen family to find her, so he kept delaying.

At dawn the next day, when the moon was still hanging in the sky, the little hunter had already taken his prey out and planned to take it to Yunlailou to pay the money.

Although he has been detoxified and can speak, he also feels that it is not much different from his previous life, except for the benefit of being able to communicate with Shen Shuang in the future.

He doesn't remember if he used to be a non-talkative person, but now he is still relatively taciturn.

When I arrived at the backyard of Yunlai Building, there were many people waiting for delivery, mainly the villagers who came to hand over pork and some vegetables and fruits, and the little hunters were also lining up in a regular manner, and Xiao Li in front saw the little hunters at a glance, and it happened that Jiang Zipei also came early today, and he hurriedly said to Jiang Zipei, "The owner, that's Miss Shen's friend." ”
