Chapter 10 Go to the Yamen
Chen Xiaonuan sighed, walked over and handed over a meat bun, "Mother, eat it." ”
Qin shook his head, "Mother is not hungry, you eat." ”
Chen Xiaonuan stuffed the meat bun into her hand, and picked up one herself to nibble. The vegetables are more meaty and less, but they are still full of fragrance, "Mother, the buns are five Wen, four buns are enough for us to eat and be full, even if we eat one meal, it is only sixty Wen a day." We have two hundred taels of silver tickets in our hands, which is 200,000 copper coins, enough for us to eat for nine years, so let's eat with confidence! ”
Hearing what his daughter said, Qin suddenly felt a lot more relieved, picked up the bun and said while nibbling, "We don't have to do manual work, just two meals a day, but we can't eat such a precious thing as meat buns every day, the queen mother went to buy some rice noodles, and we made porridge and cooked by ourselves." If you have money, you can't sit back and eat, we have to settle down quickly, so that we can weave and embroider to make money to support our family. ”
"Okay, listen to my mother." Chen Xiaonuan smiled, "Hou Yu called the second uncle and Li Zheng, first go to the yamen to stamp the official seal of the closing book, and by the way, get our household registration to this courtyard." Mother remember, we only have five taels of silver now, and we have to save it in front of people, so that our wealth is not exposed, and we will not be remembered. ”
Qin nodded, "Those two silver tickets?" ”
"Don't worry, mother, I'll put it properly." Chen Xiaonuan broke the last meat bun, and the two of them were half, "Let's go as a family later, I want to see the official seal of the book with my own eyes." ”
Coming out of the yamen, Qin De in Qinjia Village looked at the happy mother and daughter in front of him, and speechlessly looked at the yamen official who was more shocked than him next to the shiny copper nails on the black wooden door of the yamen, and then remembered what Chen Zumo had admonished, and said with a cold face, "Qin, you are a woman who lives apart, and you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and lead by example...... If you dare to break the jar and do something unruly, let me know, I will definitely sue the official. ”
Qin Shi hurriedly nodded, "Uncle De, don't worry, my niece has written it down." ”
Chen Xiaonuan leaned over and asked with a smile, "Grandpa Lizheng, the two tongue-twisting words you just said were taught by someone else, right?" ”
Qin Deyi didn't pay attention to pulling off several of his sparse beards, and he bared his teeth in pain, "You girl, I haven't said anything about you, you're about to get married, and in the future, I will honestly learn weaving and embroidery from your mother at home, and don't come out to talk nonsense to others!" ”
"Oh-" Xiao Nuan replied in a long voice, "Grandpa De, my mother is divorced, so should she get back the dowry she carried when she married into the Chen family?" ”
Qin Zhengtian also stopped and listened, Qin De coughed, "It's all old things from more than ten years ago, what can you do when you get it back?" ”
No need for Xiao Nuan, Qin took the initiative to speak, "There are only four walls and two bare plate kang in our courtyard, and we can't live without getting it." Those old things are worthless, but it costs a lot of money to buy another set. It's not easy for us to live, and if we can save it, we will save it. ”
Qin De frowned, "You have to discuss this matter with the Chen family, and they agreed to move you again." ”
Qin Zhengtian quit, "The Chen family doesn't know when they will come back when they go to the capital, my sister has separated from him, why can't I move my things out?" ”
Qin De's eyes narrowed, "Why do you say?" The Chen family is not here, you went in to move things, and people came back to say that they lost things at home, who is it? Can you tell clearly? ”
Chen Xiaonuan grabbed the second uncle and smiled sweetly, "Grandpa Lizheng is reasonable. Second uncle, after you go back, you will write a letter to the Chen family saying that we are going to move things, and let them send someone back to watch. ”
Qin De and the official of the yamen rolled their eyes, they are the champions, they are very busy, how can they have time to come back and watch you move a few broken things!
"But Chen Zhuangyuan is a busy man, and it is impossible to come back, but the Chen family and my mother only gave thirty taels of silver, and now it has been spent, and our mother can't sleep directly on the kang to feed mosquitoes, so let's do it!" Chen Xiaonuan clapped his hands, "Grandpa Lizheng, I'll go back to find the patriarch of the Chen family and let him be a witness, let's take the dowry list and carry things out, right?" ”
This is a solution, but, "The Chen family locks the door, how can I move it without a key?" ”
The Qin clan immediately spoke, "I have the key, and I haven't had time to hand it back yet, so I'll hand it over to the Chen family patriarch after I finish moving." ”
Chen Zumo explained before leaving, it is really difficult to "treat" their mother and son well, not to let them have accidents, and not to let them cause trouble. Qin De sighed with the official for a while, "If Uncle Chen agrees to be a witness, it will be done." ”
Grandma's, there is a champion in the village, he didn't get any benefit from it, please put in a lot of silver, who is he looking for! He can see that the Chen family's bad things can't be managed, and there is no oil and water at all!
Chen Xiaonuan took his mother and sister to buy pots and bowls and rice noodles in the city, and the second uncle carried them home, and the pot was installed on the stove of the small thatched hut in the west.
While the two nieces were packing up their things tonight, Qin Zhengtian took out two taels of silver from his pocket and handed them to the Qin family, "Sister, you take this as an emergency." ”
Qin hurriedly waved his hand, "No, I still have some, enough to get by." ”
Since Qin Zhengtian took it out, he didn't plan to take it back, and put it directly on the stove, "Sister rest assured, this is the private money I have saved in the past few years, and no one knows." Sister, don't treat me as an outsider, we were together when I was in my mother's belly, I don't know how much money you can save in your hands! ”
Qin Zhengtian is the twin brother of the Qin family, only less than half an hour older than him, and the two have been close since childhood. Qin's heart bowed weakly, this time the second brother guessed wrong, she was really rich, but Xiao Nuan didn't let her say, what should I do if I feel so uncomfortable......
Qin Zhengtian patted his sister's shoulder angrily, "I'm back, let Xiaocao go to me if you have something, don't let Xiao Nuan go, my father and mother don't like her now than you." ”
......
Xiao Nuan, who walked to the door of the house, turned back again, and waited for the second uncle to leave before he came in and said to the Qin family, "Mother, I'll go to the patriarch's grandfather's house." ”
Qin looked at his daughter worriedly, "Don't go, how can he help us with this." ”
Chen Xiaonuan said confidently, "Don't worry, mother, he will definitely help you with this help!" ”
The Qin family was waiting at home, and even thought about how to comfort her when her daughter came back disappointed, but before she could boil the porridge, Xiao Nuan came back with a smile, "It's done, tomorrow morning, when we move things, the patriarch grandfather will also give us his ox cart to use, let us pull things." ”
The Qin clan opened his mouth wide, "What did you say to the patriarch?" ”
Chen Xiaonuan smiled proudly, "I told you what we saw and heard when we went to the capital, especially Chen Zumo's street tour, and he happily agreed." ”
The Qin family lowered his head, Chen Siye usually held a stable shelf, full of righteousness of the family and country, he didn't expect to encounter things, and he was so cold.
Chen Xiaonuan squatted beside her mother and explained her, "The patriarch of the Chen family is naturally planning for the Chen family, that's right. We just need to get our stuff back, and nothing else matters. ”
I thought I wouldn't be able to sleep lying on the broken kang mat made of reeds, but the mother and daughter slept peacefully. On the big plane tree in the small courtyard, the dark shadow who had been squatting for half the night saw that the people in the house were safe and sound, and left. At the same time, the well-fed rhubarb rushed back, and was so angry that he whined a few times around the plane tree, and then stood guard at the door and lay down to sleep.
The Qin family has been married for so many years, and for the first time, they don't have to worry about being scolded when they get up late, and they are so happy that they want to cry after waking up.
The family of three finished breakfast in high spirits and went straight to the Chen family in the east of the village, they wanted to move things in front of Qin Sanhao and the Chen family patriarch, in front of the Qin family's dowry list!
