Lin Mei cooked two pots of bean curd in the kitchen and made four plates of tofu, seeing that it was almost noon, and the three of them didn't leave, she couldn't help complaining: Didn't this book say that the ancients were all overhanging beams and cones and thorns, and I don't know how this talent was famous, why don't you go back and study hard? That Gu Muqing is too, he can sit still all the time.

Xi'er is a villain, seeing that there are no outsiders, she mutters to Peach: "Who do you think of the three brothers sitting in the house is the best-looking?" ”

After all, Peaches is still young, and she said without thinking about it: "Of course, Brother Xiao is the best-looking." ”

"If you were to choose one of the three to be the eldest brother-in-law, who would you choose?" Xi'er teased her.

This stumped Peaches, and Peaches thought about it seriously and said: "Brother Gu is honest and loves to help our family, but it's too dark; Brother Xiao is the best-looking, but he hasn't helped my family; The new brother Wang is tall and good-looking, but he hasn't been in contact with it, and he doesn't know what people are like. After speaking, he finally asked, "Does the eldest sister really want to be the first among them?" ”

Xi'er saw that Sister Peach asked her very seriously, glanced at the eldest sister in front of the stove, and said quietly: "I'm just joking with you, but don't tell anyone else." ”

Lin Mei heard it next to her, and couldn't help but put up three black lines on her forehead, and said with a straight face: "Are these two girls itching their scalps, and they are actually joking with their own sister." ”

Xi'er saw that the eldest sister heard it, and stuck out her tongue: "Sister, don't be angry, I was wrong, I shouldn't tease her with this." ”

Peaches was most afraid of making the eldest sister angry, so she hurriedly ran to hug the eldest sister and said, "Eldest sister, don't be angry, I also know it's wrong." ”

The two little girls are very quick to admit their mistakes, and Lin Mei doesn't plan to worry about them: "Okay, okay, don't be angry with the two of you, you don't need to talk about people behind your backs in the future, be careful to become the eighth woman in the village, not likable." ”

The two little girls agreed quite happily.

This made Lin Mei think deeply, the family rules set up before, said that the daughter of the Lin family should learn a skill and have the instinct to support the family. Since the establishment of the family rules, he has been busy, and he has not discussed this matter with them, Xi'er needlework is good, and it is only limited to making clothes, shoes and socks for the family, but it is still a little difficult to take it out to support the family, and you have to find an embroidery girl to teach well.

Peaches is more troublesome, after all, she is still young, and I don't know what she is suitable for studying? Let's let her learn embroidery with Xi'er first, and then see what she is suitable for learning when she is older.

After thinking about it again, I thought that I would tell them when I found a suitable embroiderer, and before I found it, I would let Shanzi continue to teach them how to read.

Then he said to the two: "Now, Shanzi has also taught you two a lot of words, and from today onwards, each of you will write two pages of big characters every morning." ”

Xi'er's head grew when she heard this, and she said, "Sister, it's enough to be literate, just write it on paper, it's a waste of paper and ink, and I have to help you work." ”

Lin Mei didn't know what the two of them had learned, but when she said this, she had a score in her heart, and maybe she didn't bother to study hard. strengthened the decision to let the two of them write: "No, it's a big deal for me to do more alone, but this character must not only be able to read but also be able to write, otherwise after a long time, you two will forget." ”

Seeing that Xi'er was still not interested in this, he made a heavy hand: "Let the two of you be literate is also for the good of the two of you, do you hope that because you are illiterate, in case you encounter human traffickers and trick you into putting your fingerprints on the deed of sale, you two are willing to suffer this big loss?" ”

Xi'er couldn't help but think of her sister who was sold, and suddenly understood the eldest sister's hard work, and buried her head in tears with tears in her eyes in annoyance and shame.

……

A big event happened in Baishui Town today, and the county lord's black gauze hat was picked up by King Qin, who was healing here.

The reason is that the county prince is not strict and bandits are rampant, which led to the assassination of King Qin and King Qi in Lingyun Temple.

But there are also those who are as brave as fighting, and a complaint sues the tyrant of Baishui Town to the hands of King Qin.

King Qin is like an angry leopard, seeing that someone actually relied on the official authority of the county lord in his domain, bullying men and women in Baishui Town, acting for the tiger, and harming innocent people.

immediately arrested Zhao Qiang, who claimed to be the brother-in-law of the county magistrate, raided his home, sentenced him to confiscate his family property, and sent him to the army.

The people who had been harmed by Zhao Qiang all rushed to tell each other, saying that King Qin was a good prince for the benefit of the people.

Luo Sicheng witnessed Zhao Qiang being caught from the house of his concubine Qiao, and he applauded happily. I heard that Zhao Qiang was sentenced to be in the army, and I couldn't help but skip school again.

Just as Lin Mei finished training her two younger sisters, she heard Luo Sicheng's duck-like cry.

"Sister Meizi, Sister Meizi, a big happy event, a big happy event......"

Luo Sicheng was too excited to notice that there were people in the hall.

Seeing Lin Mei coming out of the kitchen, he crackled at her and said what had just happened in the town.

Not only Lin Mei was taken aback, but even the people in the hall heard it clearly.

Xiao Qiming had known Luo Sicheng for a long time, but he didn't expect him to have a relationship with the Lin family.

"Brother Sicheng, what you said is true?" When Xiao Qiming walked from the town in the morning, the town was still calm, why did such a big thing happen in a blink of an eye, and he expressed his surprise that he asked this.

Luo Sicheng saw that he was the second son of the Xiao family, and he was happy to share it with him.

"Second Brother Xiao, I didn't expect you to be here, of course this matter is true, I don't dare to coax my Sister Meizi with this." Luo Sicheng replied.

King Qi frowned, thinking about King Qin's series of actions. Luo Sicheng had something to say over and over again, and found that there was a loophole in his words, and he was about to ask.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Qiming was one step ahead of him.

"Brother Sicheng, I'm a little puzzled, and I hope you can tell me the truth." Xiao Qiming said.

Luo Sicheng nodded in agreement: "You ask, you must know everything." ”

"The county magistrate was stripped of his official position because of the lax subordination and rampant banditry, what's going on? You and you grew up in Whitewater, and you haven't heard of bandits in the surrounding area. Xiao Qiming wondered.

Luo Sicheng was not very clear, and replied: "I don't know very well, I heard that it seems that the King of Qin was assassinated from Baiyun Temple, so he took the first step, and the King of Qi was half an hour late with the Lord of Jiaoyue, and he was also assassinated on the road." ”

"None of those assassins were caught?" King Qi couldn't help but ask.

Luo Sicheng didn't know who he was, turned to look at Xiao Qiming, saw him nodding, and continued: "But I heard that King Qi's guards caught a living one when he fell, and I heard that he was locked up in the county jail for interrogation that afternoon, and he died just after the interrogation." ”

King Qi wondered why Song Ye didn't leave a living mouth, and then asked. "Do you know the content of the interrogation?"

"This ......" Luo Sicheng was a little skeptical.

Xiao Qiming actually wanted to know, and he had just chatted with King Qi very speculatively, and he also knew a rough idea of what he was, and knew that he was not a mouthy person, so he helped and said: "Brother Sicheng, don't be afraid, this is Wang Qi, Wang Xiucai, and he is also a fellow Taoist with great ambitions." ”

Luo Sicheng was not afraid that he would know, but he privately bought the officials to inquire about the news, if it was known by King Qin, he was afraid that his family would be affected.

King Qi guessed his concerns and promised: "This little brother Sicheng, don't worry, today's incident entered my left ear and went out of my right ear, and I didn't hear anything." ”
