Saying that, both of them were happy.

After the music, Mei Xiaotong said in a low voice: "Wait until the spring of next year, I will accompany my mother to the capital, and this time I will go to the state capital, and my mother and I will be at home every day." Anyway, we are not short of silver now, and the dividends of tea will be paid to us this month. There is also the rouge shop, and the goods here will be almost ready at the end of the year, just wait for the news from Li Jiushao. ”

"Don't worry, even if you get to the capital, I won't let you suffer!" Mei Xiaotong assured.

An Huahao's heart was full of tenderness, and he hugged Mei Xiaotong for a long time and was speechless.

Xiaotong gave him so much, but what he repaid now is only a small person, these are far from enough, even if he wins the Jinshi in the spring next year, he will be just an ant in the capital.

Xiaotong works so hard to make money, he has to work harder, one day, he can also make Xiaotong no longer worry about this, worry about that, just be happy!

The couple said that in the middle of the night, they finally couldn't resist the sleepiness.

Early the next morning, the housekeeper of the Nadu family had already gone to the restaurant to book a banquet.

Mei Xiaotong and Mrs. Li stayed at home, and invited Mrs. Qi again, and the people who came to congratulate yesterday gave a lot of congratulatory gifts.

Although they were all registered yesterday, how to repay the favors, Mei Xiaotong and Mrs. Li have never experienced it, and they don't know the bottom in their hearts.

I had to invite Mrs. Qi to come and ask for advice.

As soon as Mrs. Qi made a move, it was really extraordinary, and the booklet was densely recorded that who sent what.

To be honest, Mei Xiaotong is only familiar with some of these names, and most of them have never heard of her, so she is completely confused.

Mrs. Qi's personal maid took the booklet over, and while reading it, she explained who this family was and what it mattered.

For example, who is the younger brother of who's aunt's younger sister's younger brother, this kind of relationship that makes people unable to turn around when it sounds like this.

For example, who looks friendly with whom on the surface, but in fact, the two have long since stopped interacting.

For example, who is the brother-in-law of which official in the county.

Mei Xiaotong was impressed when she heard it.

Finally waiting for the maid's maid to take a breath, Mei Xiaotong looked at Mrs. Qi with admiration: "Master, how do you know these old people?" ”

Mrs. Qi took a sip of tea and said calmly: "What's so difficult about this?" Although Master and I have been in the capital over the years, there are still old people at home, and Master's brother is also a local old man. ”

"Especially those disciples under Senior Brother Qin, when they go to see people, which family has anything to do with which family, if you don't figure it out, if there is any difference, then you will be scolded a few quacks and driven out, and if you can't say anything, you will lose your job. All they ......."

Mei Xiaotong understands in seconds, this is internal information sharing, lest people who don't know touch the mold.

This kind of secret, Mrs. Qi didn't hide her secrets, so she took it out so generously, and Mei Xiao was moved

Tong was teary-eyed, and was just about to shoot two rainbow farts.

I heard Mrs. Qi say: "These relationships are all simple, these days are good to memorize, sort it out, don't get confused!" ”

"What? Memorize it down? Mei Xiaotong felt that she was about to suffocate, and suddenly felt that An Huahao was a lifter, why was her life difficult?

This morning, I memorized medical skills, learned housekeeping in the afternoon, and memorized the genealogical relationships of these rich and powerful families in Jing County in the evening, and let people not live.

"Of course you have to memorize it, how many people are there? In the future, when I come to the capital, those powerful people of the family, as well as the family relationships of the nobles of the harem, those don't have to be memorized-" Mrs. Qi raised her eyebrows, which was very natural.

Mei Xiaotong decided to tell An Huahao tonight, either he will memorize it himself, or he will not be admitted to the Jinshi, where is this test for him? It's a test for yourself!

Thinking so in her heart, Mei Xiaotong also knew that Mrs. Qi was doing this for her own good, so she could only cry and chirp to carry it.

Otherwise, what can you do, and what can you do with Anhua Hao?

It was lively for several days, and finally all the entertainment outside was over.

Mei Xiaotong and An Huahao took the time to go to Zhuangzi in the suburbs, kowtowed to Qi Huan's tomb, and told her that An Huahao was lifted, so that she could rest assured below.

After worshipping Qi Huan, Mei Xiaotong remembered one thing, when she was picking up Qi Huan's bones, she touched a small seal or something near her abdomen, because the bones were wrapped with hair or something, and after a long time, the seal was black and not conspicuous at all, if she didn't touch it with her hand, she couldn't see it at all.

She didn't know what to think at the time, so she subconsciously received the seal into the storage box.

Later, I always felt like I had forgotten something, and I didn't remember it for a while.

At this moment, I came to Qi Huan's tomb again, and I remembered.

Seeing that there was no one around, Mei Xiaotong pulled An Huahao, leaned into his ear and whispered, An Huahao immediately changed color: "Seal? ”

Even the expression of Imperial Doctor Du on the side couldn't help but soften, not to mention anything else, this female apprentice is stronger than those wooden flutes, and she also knows how to care about the body of the master and the mother.

In the past, when it was hot, they would only serve you a bowl of herbal tea, and when it was cold, it would be good to give you a bowl of hot tea.

Such a caring apprentice, what should I do if I love her as a master? Then give her more homework!

So Mei Xiaotong's homework added a map of the meridians and acupoints of the human body.

After reciting a bunch of homework and returning home, Mei Xiaotong heard that Gu Zikai was going back to the capital, and the house was going to be returned.

After thinking about it, I don't care about the rent now, and there is only one entry in this backyard, and it is a little inconvenient to live with six or seven people, especially the majority of female dependents, otherwise why does uncle Yang Zongbao rarely come back, but also to avoid suspicion.

Therefore, I pondered, waited for Gu Zikai to leave, took over the house, and then opened up the front and back yards, so that it would be more spacious to live in.

At that time, this front yard will be kept by his uncle Yang Zong, and there will also be a businessman

A place to measure things.

After making up his mind, he didn't go to find the middle-aged person, and mentioned it to Yang Zongbao.

Yang Zongbao patted his chest and promised that he would leave this matter to him, and Mei Xiaotong would be relieved.

As for Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Ding, they were left to take care of the house, and now there are many flowers and trees in this yard, as well as their things, so they have to be guarded.

After some time, it is comfortable to come back and live.

Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Ding naturally had nothing to be reluctant to.

Everything was arranged, and the family hired the carriage and dart master of the Changfeng Dart Bureau and went home.

Returning to the familiar Qilidun again, because he sent a letter back a few days ago, he was far away at the entrance of the village, and there was a leopard guarding the entrance of the village, and he saw two carriages coming back, and then saw the familiar uncle An Huahao sitting in front of the car, and immediately ran home.

He's going back and telling his dad to go, and they're back!

A few days ago, Mei Changfu counted that the 100 days of his father's death were coming, and the little sister had not yet delivered the news back, and she was still muttering in her heart, could it be that she would not come back? After all, the last time they left, although there was nothing on the surface, they actually felt it, and the little sister and mother seemed to be angry.

There are also people in the village who are vaguely spreading gossip, saying that they are afraid that the daughter of the Mei family has gone to the city, and even her mother has been taken away, and she will not go home when she is free, and she will not look down on the countryside.

Mei Changfu and they open the door every day to buy mountain goods, and there are always people who have nothing to inquire about, although they are all scolded back by Mei Yonggui, but they are also a little weak in their hearts.

After receiving the news that Mei Xiaotong said that she would come back in two days, the Mei family was excited.

Mei Xiaotong's small courtyard, as well as An Huahao's small courtyard, has long been cleaned, and now it is six months old, and the sun is hot.

Liu Xiaoqiao and Wen dismantled and washed all the bedding in the house, and then laid it again after it was fluffy in the sun.

Xiaojuan has passed the New Year, more and more sensible, I heard that my aunt is coming back, and I pick fresh gardenias every day and put them in the house, Xun the house, to ensure that my aunt comes back and lives comfortably.

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, it is estimated that it should be able to arrive in the next few days, every day Mei Changfu sends the children of the family to guard the entrance of the village, and it is good to report when he sees that people are back.

In the distance, I heard the leopard running and shouting: "Grandma and aunt, they are back-"

The three brothers of Mei Changfu glanced at each other, they didn't even do business, and they were about to go to greet them.

was stopped by the seller of mountain goods: "Shopkeeper Mei, I finally picked these things from home, why can't you accept them?" ”

Where do you still have the heart to collect mountain goods? Mei Yonggui's brain turned quickly, and he pressed Jin Dou in front of the table: "You are so entertained, let's go pick up your grandmother and aunt-"

Saying that, the three brothers took the leopard and Xiaojuan and Xiaojuan, and left like the wind.

Leaving Jin Dou and the mountain goods seller to look at each other.

Jin Dou was honest, although he also wanted to pick up people, but in the end he endured it, took the mountain goods and looked at them one by one, set the price, and weighed it again, and settled the money.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that the carriage had already driven to the door of the house.

Before and after the carriage, they were surrounded by their own family and some children in the village.

The carriage stopped, who were not Mrs. Li and Mei Xiaotong who came out of the carriage?

Jin Dou only felt that he hadn't seen him for two months, and his grandmother and aunt were a little unrecognizable.

After getting out of the carriage, the brothers of the Mei family were busy carrying their luggage, and Wen and Liu Xiaoqiao also heard the news and came out of the house.

Even Zhou came out behind in a dodge, looking at the things that were moved from the car with a pair of eyes.

Who is coming back from this Qilidun, can there be such a movement? Those who live close and like gossip also dragged their families to come to see the excitement.

Seeing that Mei Xiaotong and they came back this time, they actually hired two carriages, not to mention, the things in this carriage, the brothers have not finished moving them after several trips, and their eyes are about to be on it.

Especially when I saw that there was a little girl standing next to Mrs. Li and Mei Xiaotong, the little girl was timid, holding Mrs. Li and looking at the posture, could it be a maid?

Someone spoke: "Aunt Zhang, when you come back this time, your spirit is not the same as before, is this even the maid called?" It can be seen that he made a fortune in the city, and he bought so many things and came back! ”

"Oh, I said auntie, you're really lucky! It's only been a long time since you've been in the city, and you've called a girl? That's the old lady in the city! ”

Qilidun has a few mothers-in-law who don't deal with Mrs. Li on weekdays, and their eyes are red: This mother-in-law has a really good life, and now they are still eating in the soil, but everyone has called the girl to be an old lady!

Look at how well that girl is dressed, she is better dressed than their daughters! It's really more popular than people!

Before I left last time, everyone knew that An Huahao was a talent now, and when he saw that he came back this time so magnificently, compared with the last time, it was very different, so he moved his mind.

The person with the lively heart jumped out: "Auntie, there are so many things, I see that the Changfu brothers can't finish moving for a while, I have a lot of strength, I'll help——"

As he spoke, he was about to get into the carriage, and when the children on the side saw this posture, they couldn't wait to climb onto the carriage.

was stopped by Mei Yonggui, who was quick-eyed, what are you kidding, this is all Mei family's thing, where can outsiders touch it? If you give something to the next and leave, wouldn't it be a loss?

At that moment, he opened his mouth without smiling: "I won't work to give birth to brothers!" ”

On the other hand, Tianbao and a few little guys were busy pushing the children who wanted to climb into the carriage: "Go away, don't touch my grandma and my aunt's things!" ”

Suddenly, you pushed me and made a fuss.

Or Mrs. Li was mentally prepared, and turned around and shouted: "Gu Yu-"

Gu Yu hurriedly took out a box from the car and handed it to Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li opened the box, this is the fragment of maltose she specially bought in the town, and it costs twenty yuan a catty, and she weighed two or three catties in a fit of anger.

At this moment, he opened the box and stuffed it into the nearest heavenly leopard: "Take it and share it for everyone to taste." ”

When I arrived at Qilidun, I asked loudly at the entrance of the village where Song Juren's old man's house was? The entrance of the village was originally a place where those men and mothers-in-law had nothing to do and gossip.

In the past few days, because the autumn grain has not yet been harvested, everyone is relatively leisurely, and they are gathering at the entrance of the village to chat.

Someone dared to ask, which Song Juren is a master?

The person who sent the letter said that the old man of the Song family, Song Zhenzhongjin High School, won the third place in the township examination.

Everyone doesn't understand what to do, but this surname is Song, and he listens to Chongjin, and fools know that this is An Huahao's promotion.

This is the only man in Qilidun for so many years!

At the moment, a bunch of mothers-in-law surrounded the person who saw them off and asked non-stop, and if there was that clever one, they would go to report to Li Zheng first.

When Li Zheng got the news and rushed to Mei's house, Mei's family was about to be crowded.

Mei Changfu's brothers are like in a dream, they haven't come back to their senses, so many years, I always heard Mei Yongan say to go to the exam, and after so many years, I didn't win, everyone thinks that Mei Yongan is such a smart person and has not been selected, think about how smart a person must be to be admitted to this lifter?

Although An Huahao won the show, he didn't talk much on weekdays, and he was still a hunter before, and not many people really thought that he could be admitted to the exam at one time.

I suddenly heard about it, and I couldn't believe my ears.

It was Liu Xiaoqiao who came back to her senses first, although she didn't know how difficult it was to take the test, but she knew that this person came to report the news, and it was still such a big happy letter, and she couldn't help but give a reward.

It's just that she can't tell how much good she should give, she feels distressed if she gives too much, and she is afraid that she will lose face if she gives less.

After hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth and took out a tael of silver and stuffed it to the person who reported the news.

The messenger looked at the silver ingot, and suddenly blossomed, he thought that this country could give a lot of reward, a few hundred dollars would be good.

I didn't expect this relative of this old man to be so generous, and he actually gave a tael of silver, and at the moment it was even more of a lotus flower, and good words were sent out without money.

Liu Xiaoqiao, who was so distressed that he felt that the money was worth it.

When the messenger left, everyone still refused to disperse, but Li Zheng came forward and let the irrelevant people go back.

The rest of the Mei family, as well as the Song family, the Li family, and the patriarch of the Mei family, who rushed to hear the news, stayed behind and discussed the next things.

I heard from the messenger that An Huahao and they would come back after dealing with the affairs in the county.

There is a lifting man in Qilidun, but the whole village is a big happy event, and you have to hold a banquet, a big one, at least three days of running water banquet to meet the identity of the lifting man.

Mei Changfu's brothers have never experienced this kind of thing, and now their brains are still dizzy, and Li Zheng only nodded his head when he said anything.

The patriarch of the Mei family smiled even more, this An Huahao is the son-in-law of their Mei family, and the Mei family will also have face in the future.

Only the patriarch of the Song family regretted that his intestines were blue, he knew that An Huahao had today's scenery, and he would never have connived at the Song family to treat him like that.

Otherwise, it is the glory of the Song family now, they are all relatives of the old man, and they are harder than others when they go out.

But now, they still dare to expect An Huahao to be a backer, so they are worried that An Huahao will come back to retaliate.

There is no need for An Huahao to say anything, as long as he expresses his dissatisfaction with the Song family a little, there are more people rushing to vent his anger for An Huahao.

Thinking about it like this, I thought about attenuating the merits, so that I could curry favor with An Huahao, and let him raise his noble hand and let the Song family go.

Therefore, Bi Mei was even more enthusiastic, and immediately agreed with Li Zheng's proposal, and took the initiative to say that whatever he needed, as long as the Song family had it, just open his mouth and didn't need money.

As soon as the patriarch of the Song family said this, everyone looked at it, and the Mei family brothers were still dizzy at the moment, and they didn't know what they meant, Li Zheng and several other patriarchs were all old foxes, and they couldn't see the intentions of the patriarch of the Song family.

This kind of good thing of raising people can make the Song family take it away?

Immediately, they all said that the other houses are the same, what do they want, even if they don't, they want to find a way to go, and they must definitely make the flowing water table lively, and ensure that the master is satisfied.

The patriarch of the Song family secretly hated in his heart, but he still had to fight for it.

In the end, the fight almost didn't start, but Li Zheng opened his mouth to distribute, a total of three families, each family is responsible for the banquet of those people in the family, everyone has no advantage to take advantage of, so they all reluctantly agreed.

Originally, I wanted to pick a few people from the village and go to the town to guard together, to see when the master would come back, and he must bring the master back in a beautiful manner.

Or did Mei Yonggui come back to his senses first, why, his own brother-in-law, his own husband, of course, have to pick it up at home? Let those people in the village pick them up when they are dead?
