Mei Changan was still lying on the bed, and when Qian Shi pounced on him like this, he thought of his leg, and suddenly became anxious, and he couldn't hide if he wanted to, so he had to close his eyes.

Then there was a sharp pain all over his body, and Mei Changan felt that his ribs had been broken by Qian's pounce at least a few times.

Just as he was about to speak, Qian suddenly rode on Mei Changan's body, stretched out his hand, opened the bow left and right, and slapped Mei Changan with several big mouths.

Mei Changan's eyes were black, there was a buzzing sound in his head, his cheeks were hot and painful, and a fishy sweetness spread in his mouth.

Qian didn't keep silent, only scratched and slapped Mei Changan ruthlessly, and used all his strength on it.

Mei Changan didn't react at first, and was caught off guard.

When she reacted, she couldn't care about it for many years, and Qian, a crazy woman, used almost all eighteen kinds of martial arts, biting, scratching, scratching, and kicking and beating.

kicked Mei Changan's broken leg several times, and Mei Changan's tears were about to come out.

finally saw the opportunity, Mei Changan finally grabbed Qian's hand and was about to push it outside.

The door was pushed open, and the shopkeeper and the Qian family grabbed it in, and held the Qian family, and the Qian family mother said viciously: "You still dare to push my daughter?" ”

The shopkeeper Qian pretended to persuade, but he held down Mei Changan, and let the Qian family take advantage of the situation to grab Mei Changan twice, and then slid off the kang with a smoke, ran to the door, turned his head, made a grimace at Wang Yong, and ran......

Mei Changan was almost angry: "What the hell is going on?" ”

"You still have the face to ask us? My daughter pushed you so hard that you hit your head and broke your head, and now you don't even recognize your parents! I can tell you Mei Chang'an, my daughters were all harmed by you, you have to compensate well, if you dare to treat my daughters badly, we two old bones, don't want to rely on our old lives, and we won't let you have a good time! ”

Mei Changan wanted to say that she pushed the Qian family to the point that she broke her brain, but this old woman also deduced her legs!

It's just that now he knows that he is weak and his family members account for the majority, so it's better to be honest, so as not to provoke that stupid madman of the Qian family again, and then run to beat himself up, where to reason?

Let's not talk about whether Qian is really crazy or fake crazy, he can't turn his face in front of him, and when he recovers from his injury, he will naturally get it back in the same way.

So they were silent, and the family stayed in the hospital for a few more days, and their bodies were almost up, mainly because they didn't have much silver in their pockets, and hired a carriage to go home slowly.

Now the family is sick and injured, and only the old couple of the Qian family gritted their teeth and served their daughter.

Mei Changan had already taken advantage of the time when the Qian family went to ransom the hairpin, and put away the silver ticket in the box that the Qian family took out the night before.

The money of the old couple of the Qian family has long been pasted clean, but now the Qian family is crazy and stupid again, no one can take care of it, and if you don't see it, you don't know where to go.

Helpless, now that the two of them are older, they can't go back to their hometown, and Qi Cheng doesn't know anyone else, so they really want to leave Mei Chang'an, they are two people with a crazy daughter of the Qian family, where is there still a way to live?

Therefore, she had to grit her teeth and continue to live in a courtyard, but the Qian family was taken to their room, afraid that Mei Changan would hurt her.

Mei Changan knew that he was now a tiger falling on the plain, so he had to bow his head, but no matter how powerful the three people of the Qian family were, they couldn't turn over the palm of his hand, so it was better to restrain each other like now, and get through this period of time before trying to make another day.

The Qian family of three and Mei Changan hate each other, but they have to rely on each other to live, as for what it tastes like, only they know it in their hearts.

The neighbors in the neighborhood have suffered, and the roots of the ears have not been clean every day, and I often hear chickens and dogs jumping in the small yard of the Mei family, you yelling at me and scolding, and there has been no moment of peace...... After Mei Xiaotong and the others got on the boat, the boat traveled far away, and the family's hearts were relaxed.

Generally speaking, it is actually quite taboo to take a coffin on a ship, especially if there are dead people in the coffin.

However, Mei Xiaotong's price is enough to make people excited, so the people on the boat are very polite to the Mei family, after all, it is the uncle who is rich!

Unlike the Mei family's relieved burden, An Huahao has always seemed to be holding his breath, or feeling uncomfortable about making a difficult decision, and he can't see anything on his face.

Until the evening, Mei Xiaotong and An Huahao returned to the house, outside in addition to the sound of the wind hula, there was also the sound of the wind rolling up the waves and crashing on the boat.

An Huahao took a long time to speak: "Xiaotong, after going back this time, according to the rules, you have to keep filial piety for one year, and I am a son-in-law, and I have to keep filial piety for three months." ”

"I thought that these three months could not be wasted, and I would review it while staying at home to keep filial piety to my father

Homework, go to the autumn exam in the second half of this year. ”

"This incident also taught me a lesson, don't look at what we don't seem to have to worry about on weekdays."

"But in this world, if you want to protect your family, don't study hard, get admitted to the exam, and become a jinshi in the future, you don't have any power in your hands, even if you have more money, as long as others want to deal with you, it's just a matter of raising your hand."

"So I plan to spend most of the remaining half a year at home and review my homework, and wait for the second half of the year

Your man is going to take the test and come back, so that you can raise your eyebrows. ”

An Huahao said very slowly and seriously.

Mei Xiaotong didn't think that An Huahao was making an empty promise, so she simply nodded: "Then I'll wait to be a lady." ”

Luo Luo generously agreed.

The two of them have a general direction for the future, Mei Xiaotong patted her chest and promised that An Huahao would study hard at home with peace of mind, and leave the rest to her.

An Huahao naturally has no worries about Mei Xiaotong now, and the token has been received by Mei Xiaotong, and it is still good

Several ways to contact his subordinates were also told to Mei Xiaotong.

I finally returned to Jing County, it was already afternoon, not to mention Lingshan Village at this time, I was afraid that I wouldn't even be able to go back to Shiqiao Town.

Especially they still carry coffins, many inns do not accept them, and now it has just come out of the New Year, and there is still a hint of New Year's atmosphere on the street, which is the day when students from all walks of life have returned to Jingxian County from home to continue their hard work.

Jing County is very lively, if it was in the past, maybe the inn business was not good, so I pinched my nose and admitted, now the business is booming, I can't wait to even have someone willing to live in the firewood house, where are you willing to accept them?

Helplessly, seeing that the sky was getting dark, but their family still didn't even have a place to live.

Mei Changqing proposed: "Why don't we go to the temple and spend the night?" "Nowadays temples have resting places and several rooms for pilgrims to rent.

An Huahao said: "At this time, I'm afraid that the temple is also full." As he spoke, he gave Mei Xiaotong a look.

Mei Xiaotong understood, asked everyone to wait first, and went to Yan Zhongren's house with An Huahao.

As soon as Yan Zhongren saw Mei Xiaotong and An Huahao, he was about to smile, but when he saw the two of them with filial piety, he immediately hid that smile.

"Miss Wang, but at home?" He asked hesitantly.

Mei Xiaotong nodded: "My father went out and died accidentally, we took his coffin back to our hometown to settle down, but I didn't expect it to be bad to catch up, plus we all have filial piety, and we can't find a place to live for a while." The last time I told you, I wanted to keep the back of my yard, but now I keep it? ”

Yan Zhongren was taken aback, and his face was full of sympathy: "Please also ask the two of you to mourn!" ”

As soon as he went back to the back room and took the key out: "But coincidentally, two days ago, I just hired someone to separate the front and back yards, and the front yards were also rented out, and the back yards were also cleaned and tidy." Miss Wang, you said you want to keep it, and I will let people pack it up, and I will take you there now. ”

Saying that, he led the way and led the two to the yard they bought.

The middle of the small courtyard and the front yard had been bricked dead, and a door had been opened from the wall of the courtyard beside it for people to enter and exit.

Entered the yard, sure enough, it was cleaned up, in addition to the three main rooms, there were three wings in each of the east and west, a small yard, there was a well in the yard, a grape, many years, with a shelf, now it looks bare, but you can imagine that in the spring and summer, after the grapes sprout, the beauty of this yard.

The house has just been painted, and the tables, chairs, benches, furniture, etc., have all been repaired, and you can move in with your bag.

Mei Xiaotong was very satisfied: "It's hard work!" I wonder if the money I left behind that day was enough? ”

Yan Zhongren waved his hand: "Enough is enough." I've been doing it for many years, and I've dealt with them a lot, and it's a trivial matter that doesn't cost much. Everything else in this courtyard is ready, and there is almost firewood,

It doesn't matter, when I was repairing the house and furniture, I bought some wood and piled it up at the back, so I made it happen for two days. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, someone will come to sell firewood.

”

"Turn right when you go out, across the street, there is a market, buy a grocery, daily necessities are convenient, close the door and quietly. The front yard is also rented by a family, and there is a showman at home, and it is also a quiet and convenient yard to rent. ”

Yan Zhongren was neat-tongued, and explained the benefits of the house and the tenant's situation clearly in three or two sentences.

Mei Xiaotong thanked Yan Zhongren, and asked An Huahao to pick up the Mei family, while following Yan Zhongren to the next street to buy some daily necessities.

By the time she came back from shopping, the Mei family had already settled down.

Mrs. Li lived in the main house, the Mei brothers and Tianhu lived in the west wing, and An Huahao moved their things to the east wing.

The kang was already burning, and the house was warm.

The water was boiled again, and the dust was being wiped and the floor was being swept up, and the small courtyard suddenly became lively.

In the evening, I didn't bother to cook, so I directly ordered a vegetarian mat and sent it to my home to eat.

After eating, everyone sat for a while, and then fled from Qicheng and returned to the familiar Jing County, plus I heard that this courtyard was actually An Huahao's, and it was considered their own if they rounded it off, so they relaxed.

Mei Changqing looked at the courtyard and couldn't help but secretly speak, this small courtyard, in this area of Jing County, is only afraid that it will take hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to take it down, right?

I didn't expect An Huahao, this kid, to be worth this thing?

I was going to ask An Huahao, but there was no way to make a fortune, so I heard Mrs. Li shout that she was tired and asked everyone to go back to the house to rest.

Mei Changqing had no choice but to give up.

An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong went back to the house, hesitated for a moment, and Mei Xiaotong said, "Shall we go up the mountain tomorrow to pay homage to my mother-in-law?" ”

Didn't you hear last time that Qi Huan was buried by Song Hong behind the temple on the mountain? I didn't know it before, but now that I know, I have to go and worship one or two.

An Huahao nodded: "I'll go with you tomorrow." ”

Mei Xiaotong thought about it, and after listening to Yan Zhongren's words, she had an idea in her mind, and she happened to discuss it with An Huahao at this moment. After washing up, both of them climbed onto the kang, one wrapped in a quilt.

Now that one is in the filial piety period, and the other is that An Huahao really doesn't have any expectations for his self-control, so it's better to be honest.

Nested in the warm quilt, Mei Xiaotong mentioned her thoughts, she felt that since An Huahao wanted to study for the imperial examination and participate in the township examination in the second half of the year, then this half year would be very important.

Especially seeing that the front yard was rented by Xiucai, listening to Yan Zhongren's words, this Jing County attracted scholars from all over the world to study because of the Evergreen Academy.

How many people want to find a quiet place to live here, but they can't, so they can only share it with others.

Now that An Huahao wants to take the road of the imperial examination, he must not be able to do it behind closed doors, but also communicate with others.

There are so many scholars in Jing County, what a unique condition is this? I still have this little yard at home. It's just tailor-made for Anhua Hao.

Now her family is not short of a few taels of silver for renting a house, not to mention that she also talked to Zheng Shopkeeper a few years ago that she wanted to sell the dyeing workshop here to them, and the shop here could not be idle.

There is also the Mei family's mountain goods business, she no longer plans to mix it, except for the jade mushrooms that need to be provided to Boss Zhang, the rest are planned to be given to the Mei brothers.

>

People's energy is limited, and her future focus will definitely be on the dyeing workshop and Jingxian side, as for the Mei family's mountain goods business, the Mei family brothers have been practicing for a year, and there must be no problem.

What's more, she is now nominally An Huahao's wife, and when An Huahao comes to Jing County to study, she will stay in Lingshan Village, so she is not so stupid.

And she also promised Mrs. Li to take her to live the life of an old lady in the county, so as not to leave Mrs. Li in Lingshan Village and make an unpleasant scene.

As soon as Mei Xiaotong's idea came out, he received strong support from An Huahao.

Anwar Hao is not only supportive, but almost happy.

After thinking about it, I can be with Xiaotong every day, my ears and temples are grinding, and my red sleeves are fragrant, so I nodded busily: "Xiaotong, what you said is right!" That's it! ”

The look of the dog's legs, I can't see it.

Early the next morning, Mei Xiaotong explained to Mrs. Li, asking her to rest at home, and she and An Huahao went to the temple on the mountain to worship Qi Huan.

Mrs. Li nodded: "That's how it should be, no matter what, she is also your mother-in-law." For so many years, it is estimated that no one has given incense, burned some paper money, provided some food or something! I don't know how desolate it is underground! You go, give two more pillars of incense, burn more paper money, and let your mother-in-law have more money on hand below. Tell your mother-in-law that there will be no shortage of her bowl of food during the New Year's holidays in the future, so that she can rest assured! ”

When Mrs. Li said something, An Huahao nodded and listened very seriously.

The short experience and statements of these parents are rare for An Huahao, who has no one to teach him this since he was a child, and everything has been groped by himself, and he has taken a lot of detours.

At this moment, accepting Mrs. Li's experience is really fresh and warm for An Huahao, and his attitude is exceptionally good.

Mrs. Li is also happy in her heart, who is not happy that when she speaks, others listen carefully?

The white-eyed wolves born by himself, he explained a few more words, and he couldn't wait to cover his ears and hide, where was he so well-behaved as his son-in-law, not only listened carefully, but also occasionally asked a few words.

hooked Mrs. Li, from funeral customs to customs, some interesting stories of the older generation or something.

If it weren't for Mei Xiaotong urging Anwar

Hao went out, and he forgot about it.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to say: "Mother, let's talk about it when I come back." ”

Mrs. Li promised not to mention it.

Mei Xiaotong and An Huahao went to the grocery store and bought a large bundle of yellow paper, as well as paper money, and a bundle of incense, and were about to leave, but An Huahao saw a bunch of boys and girls on the paper at the door of the house, as well as the yard or something, and suddenly couldn't move his footsteps.

He heard Mrs. Li say that after this person dies, he will also have to dress and eat below, and there will be no ghosts to be worshiped by future generations, that is, poor ghosts, and if they become ghosts, they will starve and freeze.

In this way, isn't his own mother hungry and frozen for more than 20 years? Maybe you don't even have a place to live, so you're a wanderer.

Thinking of this, An Huahao became more and more uneasy, so he simply waved his hand, bought the courtyard, the boys and girls, hired a carriage, and stuffed the carriage to the brim, so that everyone was squeezed into the corner.

This temple in Jing County is on the top of a mountain called Tongshan next to Jing County.

Tongshan is not high, the scenery is beautiful, especially the temple called Puen Temple on the top of the mountain is very famous for hundreds of miles, every festival, or what kind of birthday, people nearby are flocking to pray for blessings

God, bless your family with safety or something.

The incense is very vigorous.

However, today is an ordinary day, there are not many people to be seen on the mountain road, a temple can be seen in the distance behind the pines and cypresses, and the melodious sound of bells can be faintly heard at the foot of the mountain.

When I arrived at Puen Temple, I found that the temple was not big, with a black lacquered gate and yellow walls and black tiles.

It can be seen that there have been quite a few years, revealing a quiet beauty outside the world.

Although it is not a festival, when I entered the temple, I found that there were many people inside.

The two found a monk who knew the guest, explained their intentions, and donated a sum of sesame oil money.

The attitude of the monk has not changed, seeing that the two of them added good sesame oil money, they took the two to the backyard, and asked who the two wanted to worship, as soon as they heard that they were looking for a woman surnamed Qi more than ten years ago, the monk's eyes flashed a look of surprise: "This is the body of the female Tanyue is buried in the back garden, and the little monk will take you there." ”
