Lin shivered, thinking of his brother and sister-in-law, and didn't dare to speak out.

"Let's put the words here today, if you honestly don't live in the old mansion as a demon, the old lady will forget it. If you make such a fuss like this today, the old lady will keep your front foot making trouble, and the back foot old lady will send you back to her mother's house! Do you believe it or not? ”

Lin's face turned pale, and he no longer dared to stay in the courtyard of the Wang family, so he turned his head and ran towards the old mansion of the Wang family.

When Wang Yongzhen saw Mrs. Zhang come out, she couldn't shrink so much that people couldn't see herself.

"What are you doing here? See the joke? Get out of here! Mrs. Zhang waved her rolling pin, and Wang Yongzhen immediately threw up her feet and ran away.

"What else to see? It's all scattered for the old lady! If you don't leave, the old lady's rolling pin won't recognize people! Mrs. Zhang looked at the crowd that gathered around again.

Everyone laughed wryly, after all, they were still afraid of being hit with two sticks, and they all dispersed.

Wang Yongfu wanted to come forward and say something, but Mrs. Zhang didn't look at him at all, she only threw away the rolling pin in her hand and said: "Xiaotong, pack your luggage, let's go back to the county as soon as Hua Hao's affairs are done, and I look at these smoky miasma at home every day, and I feel upset when I look at it!" Let's go back to the county seat and live a small life behind closed doors! Mei Xiaotong gave up, and when the Wang brothers heard this, their faces changed. Especially Wang Yongfu, he was suddenly ashamed again, his mother said this, didn't he mean that because the Lin family had such a quarrel with him, his mother looked upset, and simply hid in the county seat?

If you say this, wouldn't you be unfilial?

I wanted to defend a few words, but I couldn't say a word.

Mrs. Zhang didn't care what her sons thought, and went straight back to the house.

Mei Xiaotong stayed, looked at Wang Yongfu, and said for a long time before he spoke: "Big brother, if you are in the world, if you say it, you will splash the water." If you can't bear the Lin family, you shouldn't divorce her. If you really want to divorce the Lin family, you should completely break it off, don't give her a chance to fantasize, this is not clear, not only will it delay her but also delay you! ”

"If you don't completely solve the matter of the Lin family, I think it's not only your family, but I'm afraid that everyone's life will be uneasy. I can take my mother to live in the county seat, far away. But we can get away, what about the third and fourth brothers' families? Big brother, think carefully about my words. ”

After that, I also went back to the backyard.

Wang Yonggui and Wang Yongping walked over and looked at Wang Yongfu and stopped talking.

Wang Yongfu smiled bitterly: "I, the eldest brother, let you embarrass you, right?" Big brother is not promising, it will affect you"

Wang Yongping was honest and waved his hand busily: "Big brother, our family doesn't talk to each other, what does it mean to affect us?"

Wang Yonggui said: "Since the eldest brother knows that he has embarrassed us and affected his brother, what are you going to do?" ”

Wang Yongfu looked at Wang Yonggui in surprise, he didn't expect him to say such a thing.

Wang Yonggui was rare and calm: "Big brother, it stands to reason that we have split up, and I, as a younger brother, shouldn't care about the affairs in your room." But after all, we are flesh and blood of relatives, and neither do I, the third king

It's that ungrateful person, when I wandered outside for all those years, my mother-in-law and child, thanks to your eldest brother, I always remember this love! ”

"Lin Shi's matter, as long as you say it, no matter what decision you make, our brothers have nothing to say. It's a big deal, no matter how bad the reputation of our Wang family is, it's nothing to go out and be pointed at by others! But you have to think clearly, you still have three sons to marry a daughter-in-law, and the boy is fine, but the girl's reputation is important, and our family Jinhua is not married yet! ”

Wang Yongfu was silent.

Wang Yongping wanted to say something, but was dragged away by Wang Yonggui.

The others also dispersed, leaving Wang Yongfu alone at the door, his head down......

Let's talk about Anhua Hao's side.

Driving the carriage to the town, Kazuri was going to the town's place to register the paperwork.

Originally, it was faint in the spring, and the clerical assistants who were doing things inside wanted to sleep.

Seeing someone coming, one of them stood up listlessly, said a few words of greeting, and as soon as he heard that he was going to buy a mountain, he suddenly came to his senses.

Several people gathered around and asked which hill they wanted to buy.

There are not many others near this Shiqiao Town, but there are many mountains.

Something commonplace, who will buy it? What Shiqiao Town lacks is fertile land, not mountains.

In front of him, a group of clerical assistants, with lotus tongues, were eager to praise the mountains near Shiqiao Town as if they were immortal mountains in the sky.

An Huahao didn't talk nonsense, and directly told him where he wanted to buy.

A group of clerical assistants were dumbfounded, the big black mountain knew, but the mountains in the big black mountain, the ghost knew?

Isn't there something wrong with this person's brain? Everyone looked at An Huahao like a fool.

Still Li Zheng couldn't stand it, and explained, saying that he wanted to be a tea garden, and those documents were a little more restrained, and he felt that although An Huahao was not a fool, he was also a person who did not understand practice.

Since ancient times, I have only heard that there are tea gardens in the south, and all kinds of good teas appear.

The world's top ten tea products are produced in the south, and everyone knows it.

How did this person in front of him come to them to grow tea on a whim?

Of course, this kind of person is stupid and has a lot of money, but they are still very welcome, and the more the better.

Anyway, as long as the mountain is sold, as for whether it can grow tea, it is not their turn.

At that moment, the clerks cleaned up their expressions and became more enthusiastic.

Take out the mountains and rivers chronicles, now at this time, only today's saints, and military generals have a map of Kanyu, and the general government only has mountains and rivers chronicles, with a few words on it, roughly indicating the direction or something.

As for the position that An Huahao said, a group of clerks looked at the few lines of the book, completely unimaginable.

Generally speaking, in this case, the clerks have to bring someone to measure it on the spot.

But the reputation of this big black mountain, who doesn't know this Shiqiao Town, the mountain road is dangerous and difficult, I heard that there are all kinds of fierce beasts inside, in case of bad luck, go in and encounter

Now, who knows if there will be a life to come back?

So the clerks all shirked each other.

Or Li was circling inside for a long time, and promised to give a lot of money for carriage and horses, and only one of them reluctantly agreed.

At the moment, it was said that on the second day, the document went to Qilidun, went into the mountain to measure the location, and then came back to handle the official deed.

Li Zheng had dealt with these clerical officials on weekdays, and he was barely familiar, so he came forward to invite them to a banquet in the restaurant of the shopkeeper Wu and thanked them well.

Those clerks rarely had such a banquet, and they were all satisfied after they were full of wine and food, and they spoke and acted much more politely.

In and out of the words, he expressed that he would not treat An Huahao badly.

He sent everyone back, and on the way, he bought a few packs of snacks for everyone to take home and give to their families.

Coaxed everyone to be happy, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and the matter of buying a mountain was seven or eight points accurate.

An Huahao knew that it could go so smoothly today, thanks to Li Zheng maneuvering in the middle, he was a quiet character, except for talking a little more in front of Mei Xiaotong and Mrs. Zhang, the rest of the time he cherished words like gold.

Therefore, I didn't say much, I only beat a few catties of good wine, bought a few packs of snacks, and stuffed them into Lizheng.

Li Zheng excused himself, and he was happy in his heart, this back and forth, didn't he have a relationship with An Huahao?

An Huahao had done most of the work, sent Li Zheng home, and then returned to Wang's house, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he felt that the atmosphere was wrong.

I went to the upper room to say hello to Mrs. Zhang, and when I saw that she was busy collecting things, I honestly went back to the house.

Seeing that Mei Xiaotong was also packing her luggage, she was immediately overjoyed: "Xiaotong, where are you going to pack your luggage?" Are you going back to the county with me? ”

Mei Xiaotong nodded and sighed: "Originally, my mother was quite happy to stay at home, but it turned out that the eldest brother divorced his wife, and the Lin family came to make trouble again today, and my mother was not happy, so she said that she wanted to go back to the county to live." I thought about it, anyway, the things at home are almost taken care of, and the new colors are ready. ”

"You live alone in the county seat, and I don't feel at ease! When the matter of buying the mountain is over, we will arrange it and go back to the county seat to live. ”

An Huahao was overjoyed.

Why did he come back, didn't he just miss Mei Xiaotong and was reluctant to separate?

I thought that I would come back this time, and I could only live for a few days, and then I had to go back to the county alone, and I was lonely at night, the bed was cold, the tea was cold, and there was a daughter-in-law and no daughter-in-law. Unexpectedly, there is such an unexpected joy?

Thinking about it this way, he was grateful to Wang Yongfu and the Lin family, if they hadn't made such a fuss, his mother-in-law would not have been annoyed to go to the county seat.

If the mother-in-law doesn't go to the county seat, Xiaotong will naturally not go, although it is very shameless to say it, but, cough cough, a manly husband, as long as the daughter-in-law can go back with her, it doesn't matter what the reason is.

immediately stepped forward attentively: "Xiaotong, if there is anything else you want me to help with, I will help clean it up."

。 ”

Mei Xiaotong looked at An Huahao's courteous appearance, and she didn't have eyes to see it.

But she also knew that An Huahao was happy, so she went with him.

The little husband and wife, you commanded me to pack up, and even such a tedious thing as collecting luggage became sweet for a while.

While packing his luggage, An Huahao told all the things he had done to go to town today.

Mei Xiaotong nodded: "Thanks to Lizheng today, the matter is done in Ming'er, and I have to thank him!" It's the town's clerk, who will come tomorrow, and will have to be entertained. ”

An Huahao only nodded.

When it was time for dinner, Mei Xiaotong said the news that there would be a document in the town to measure it tomorrow, and Mrs. Zhang quickly had an idea.

"Ming'er is invited to accompany me and cook a few good dishes! I went to buy some fish and meat early in the morning, and we also killed one chicken, as well as last year's cured meat, and we can also make a table of noodles when we clean up. Hua Hao is drinking again today, and he has to let the family eat well. ”

Everyone agreed not to mention the matter.

The next day, when it was almost noon, the clerk hired a carriage to arrive, and when he saw An Huahao waiting at the entrance of the village, he jumped down from the carriage very humbly.

took An Huahao's hand and called Brother Xian.

I think I went back to do my homework yesterday, and I know that An Huahao is now a showman, and his wife is the powerful girl of the Wang family, and the girls in the palace who dyed the cloth are all liked, and I heard that this year the town intends to compile this Wang Niangzi into the county chronicles.

Such a person, how dare he offend a small clerk? Didn't you hire a car to come here at dawn?

Thinking that he would definitely not be able to go back today, the clerk had already instructed the coachman to pick up people in a day.

When you take a small parcel from the wagon, you have to pay the coachman.

Although An Huahao doesn't talk much, he is not a person who does not understand the world, at this time, he naturally will not let the clerk pay for it, and directly took out a handful of copper coins to the coachman, so that he can pick it up tomorrow afternoon.

When the coachman saw that there were dozens of copper coins, which was the income of one or two days on weekdays, he immediately smiled and promised to go back.

The clerk followed An Huahao to the village, and there was nothing special all the way, and after a few turns, a large courtyard appeared in front of him.

It made the clerk stunned, this high wall, this courtyard, compared to the houses in the town, is no worse.

muttered in my heart, could this be the Wang family?

Sure enough, An Huahao took him directly into the backyard of the Wang family.

Tables and chairs have been set up in the wing room in the backyard, and in the courtyard, Li Zheng is chatting with the three brothers of the Wang family who are accompanying him.

Seeing that the clerk came, the diligent Jinhua had already brought the Facebook to me and asked the clerk to freshen up.

When the paperwork came out, the table was already full of dishes, and Li Zheng, An Huahao and the Wang brothers were standing next to the table and waiting for him.

On the table, in the middle of the table is a pot of old

Hen broth, oily and golden, with an enticing aroma, topped with a layer of green chopped green onions.

Green Pepper Omelet, a golden omelet, finely chopped green pepper crumbs are dotted in between.

The fish head is stewed with tofu, the fish head is fried until it turns yellow, and then the white soup is boiled, and the tofu is cut into square pieces and put into the soup, and the delicious soup has already been absorbed.

The fat and lean sausages are cut into thin slices, showing an amber transparent color, the bacon has five layers of three flowers, after steaming, the fat is transparent and crystalline, the lean meat is firm and elastic, and the potato pieces are padded underneath, which absorbs enough fat dripping from the sausage and bacon.

With a few side dishes, not to mention in the village's house, even in the town, it is also an extremely decent meal.

The clerk's family background is average, and almost the whole family depends on his little money, and he has to calculate his food and clothing on weekdays.

Although I had a good meal in the restaurant yesterday, this farmer's simple and not fancy meal is more appetizing.

Everyone sat down separately, poured a glass of wine for each person, and the clerk excused himself a few times, only saying that he would go into the mountain and drink and make a mistake.

An Huahao didn't persuade him, but the chicken soup and fish soup, the clerk drank two bowls bitterly, and only ate his mouth full of oil and red face.

The soup was full, and the tea was brewed, and the greasy in the mouth was relieved, and the clerk sat in the yard, but he couldn't help the oil, and the life of this village was so solid, it seemed that the life of the people in their town was not as good as the countryside.

It's just a little sigh, look at the sky, and still worry about business, and the clerk also took the initiative to enter the mountain.

The brothers of the Wang family heard that this sister and brother-in-law were going to buy a mountain and said that they wanted to build a tea garden, although they didn't understand it very well, but their sister had always had a good eye, and they didn't doubt it, but they were busy with Zhang Luo.

For such a major event, the Wang brothers left Wang Yongfu at home to collect the mountain goods, and Wang Yonggui, Wang Yongping and An Huahao accompanied the documents into the mountain.

Li Zheng thought about it, since he wanted to be close to An Huahao, this help naturally had to be helped to the end, and he would also accompany him into the mountain.

And the men, taking with them rations, flints, knives, and bows and arrows, went into the mountain.

When the clerk first entered the mountain, he was still quite interested, and those who didn't know him pointed to ask for advice or two, and he also made a lot of poetry, and read two sour poems to the mountains.

Originally, he was a little complacent, but the people around him, the Wang brothers only knew a few words, although they had heard Wang Yongan say it before, but they all forgot it, and then Wang Yongan never mentioned it at home.

Naturally, I don't know how to do poetry, I just think that this reader can't talk well? What is this poem, I can hear every word clearly, why don't you understand the meaning of the connection?

It happens to be a little ink in his stomach, not to mention that his son is studying at home, and he has read a few lines of poetry at home, but he understands that this is poetry, but he doesn't understand it, he just thinks that he doesn't understand it, and he thinks it's good, and he shouted a few words of good.

The clerk looked at An Huahao expectantly, of course he knew that among these people, if anyone could appreciate his poems, it was naturally Xiucai An Huahao.

Others say yes,

That's all soulless sycophancy!

An Huahao looked at the anticipating document expressionlessly, closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and cleared his conscience, and praised dryly: "Good" The clerk had a smile on his face, and he still tried to be more reserved, but he still couldn't control his four front teeth, and asked unsatisfied: "May I ask Brother Song, do you think my poem is the best?" ”

An Huahao's black face was about to be unbearable, he wanted to say, I don't think any sentence is good, but when the words came to his mouth, he reluctantly became: "I think the last sentence is the best, it is quite simple......"

As soon as he heard the document, he suddenly felt like a confidant, "Brother Song, you are right, I will ponder the first three sentences." He said that he didn't care about anything else, and walked straight away, muttering his new poem.

Wang Yongping really couldn't hold back, leaned over to An Huahao, and asked in a low voice: "Brother-in-law, what are you talking about?" ”

An Huahao twitched the corners of his mouth, very speechless: "This poem didn't say anything, just said that the weather is good today and the scenery is very good." ”

Wang Yongping was stunned, and only spoke after a while: "Then why didn't I understand a word?" Brother-in-law, you praised him for his last sentence, how is it good? ”

An Huahao lowered his voice a few degrees, and only him, Wang Yongping, Wang Yonggui and Li Zheng next to him could hear it: "Fortunately, the last sentence is human, I can understand it." ”

"Poof-" Li was drinking water, and he didn't hold it all at once, and it all squirted out.

Wang Yonggui stumbled, almost fell to the ground, finally held on to the trunk of the tree, and looked back at An Huahao's eyes indescribable.

Wang Yongping opened his mouth wide, looked at An Huahao, and then looked at the paperwork, and it took him a long time to understand, covering his mouth, turning his back, and laughing all over his body.

Wen sensed the movement behind him, turned his head, and looked at An Huahao's serious black face, and then looked at the other three, either drinking water and squirting, or walking badly, they were really country people.
