Gong Miao'er witnessed this scene with her own eyes, and for Zheng Er's sudden death, she suddenly turned red, and thought it was a return to the light. Zheng Er's sons also saw it this way, and whispered to each other: "Bring the clothes to my father to change into." Patient Zheng Er heard it, and waved his hand hard to stop it: "No need to change, I'm not going." You come here. ”

beckoned Zheng Yi to approach, Zheng Erguan's thin and bruised hands, tightly clamped one of Zheng Yi's white hands, looked up and down at him, and when Zheng Yi was furious, Zheng Erguan said in a hoarse voice: "You were smart when you were a child, but later you didn't study well and talked to Mr.'s daughter more, and Mr. wanted to sue you, so I had no choice but to let you quit school and engage in business." ”

"Second uncle, it's that girl pestering me, she's two years older than me......" Zheng Yi dropped out of school, and there is such a public case. Zheng Erguan said: "I know, and your grandmother also knows, but just say a few words, that gentleman is greedy for our family's money and wants you to marry." Your grandmother and I consulted, and I said that the family was engaged in business, and what kind of education should I go to? It's better to be economical. Later, when you learned badly, I was always annoyed that I delayed you. And because the gentleman is a well-dressed man, he actually behaved like this, I said to your grandmother, don't let you go to school again, if you go to school like this, you can't learn it. Zheng Erguan cried: "I mistook you, didn't I?" Otherwise, you won't be able to get into a high-ranking official, and you will be able to have a bowl of rice to eat and not be hungry. It is often said in Beijing that the poor Jingguan is poor, but the Jingguan of Jiupin also has those rice grains a year, and you can still eat meat several times a month......"

This is not the time to laugh, Gong Miaoer is behind people, and she can't help but want to laugh.

"Second uncle, I don't blame you," Zheng Yi said, Zheng Erguan looked at Zheng Yi with teary eyes: "It's okay if you can't pass the exam, sitting in front of the book at home, when you see empty in your heart, it's better than you to go out." It's just the pen and ink, some of them are used first in the shop, and if they don't, let your brother exchange them for the things they can use in the familiar shop, which doesn't cost money. ”

Gong Miao'er snickered again. He finally understood how the Zheng family's ancestors had accumulated so much money.

Zheng Yi agreed repeatedly, feeling that his uncle was holding his hand cold, and tears came down again: "I will definitely win, I want to be an official, if I don't do it once, I will take the exam twice." Zheng Erguan actually smiled, and said continuously: "Okay, good, if you don't pass the exam, it's because you don't read enough books, so let's read books at home, it's just a matter of having one more snack and two pots of tea." ”

This snack and two pots of tea, Zheng Erguan chattered about it. Regardless of the fact that there is an outsider in this room, Gong Miao'er, it is very hard to endure the smile.

Zheng Erguan fell asleep peacefully. Gong Miaoer stepped forward to greet and came out to look for Zheng Yi. Zheng Yi hasn't gone home yet, although the brothers in this room don't want to see him. He still stayed and waited for Zheng Er's illness.

"Really rushing for the exam?" Gong Miao'er came to ask Zheng Yi, and the two of them were sitting under the big elm tree in Zheng Erjia's homeland, with a snack, two tea bowls, and a pot of tea on the table. If Zheng Erguan saw it, he would definitely be heartbroken. Eating snacks and drinking tea without work, Zheng Erguan was only afraid of getting sick.

Zheng Yi pushed the tea bowl to Gong Miao'er and said, "Eat, my uncle is thrifty, and my brothers still have to eat and drink." Gong Miao'er smiled and took a piece of snack, thinking that Zheng Er's life was unprofitable, and it was not easy to eat his things for so many years, Gong Miaoer cherished it very much.

"It's good to be an official, no one looks down on you, and you won't be bullied. Even if you speak, the sound is louder, and a few gongs are struck in front of the official sedan chair, can it not sound? Zheng Yi was stunned, Gong Miao'er's heart jumped, and she whispered: "You want to be an official...... This is obviously dissatisfied with Gongzi Chu. Zheng Yi did not deny it, and his face turned to resentment: "It's good to be an official, and you can do whatever you want to be an official." Think about it and add: "Whoever you want to marry, you can marry whomever you want!" Xiaochu girl was forced to press her head. ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Gong Miaoer is a person who has a heart for trouble and doesn't want things to be too big. He thinks Zheng Yi can just sit at home and read, but he can't get into it anyway. As for still thinking about Xiao Chu, Gong Miaoer felt that this thought had to be extinguished. At the moment, he said: "Xiao Chu, it may not be that he was forced to press his head." ”

"How not! She was going to leave with me, and she never thought about marrying him at all! Zheng Yi's eyes turned red when he mentioned this. This is not just a matter of face, it is Zheng Yi who has been beaten several times, and he hates more and more each time. Gong Miao'er was speechless, and suddenly thought that Xiao Chu couldn't go out, and after thinking about it, he said a little teasingly: "If Xiao Chu is here, if she gives you a trick, your money will not be cheated." ”

Zheng Yi threw himself on the table and cried bitterly: "I grew up and wanted anything. Once, when I fell in love with someone else's house, he refused to sell it, so I forced me to buy it. Does anyone not kiss money when they see it? Gong Miao'er sighed, this time it's really not a matter of having a lot of money.

How much money does the Zheng family have, Zheng Yi is not over yet. Gong Miao'er's heart moved, she looked at the elm tree above her head, and muttered: "Although this tree is good, but there are no other trees lining it, if there are patients at home, do you ask for a god and Buddha, and then plant some other trees, and the patients also like it." ”

"By the way, the longevity you told me is still there, my second uncle is sick like this, I have to do my filial piety." Zheng Yi was fooled when he heard it. Gong Miao'er went out after talking to him, and laughed all the way in the carriage. That's it, I dare to be an official. If you become an official, I am afraid that the official seal will be coaxed away.

When they came back, the village manager and the guys came to inquire about the Zheng family: "There are words on the street, and a few idlers bet that as soon as Zheng Er dies, the money of the straw bales will be swept away immediately." Gong Miao'er laughed: "I see it this way too, but I look at Zheng Er, and it seems that he can still live." When the Zhuang steward heard that Zheng Er could live, he said: "Alas, I was originally reminding you that we will also take some of them, so as not to let people take them all." ”

Gong Miao'er came in and talked briefly to Tao'er. Tao'er was worried: "Something is going to happen again?" Gong Miao'er didn't care: "What's wrong!" bet on the street that Zheng Er is gone, and the money for the straw bales will run out. I bet I won't be able to pass the exam in this life. Do you bet or not, as soon as he got the book, what he saw in the book was not words, it was all the face of the little lady. ”

Tao'er was disgusted: "Nonsense! Then worried: "No matter what, I always feel that he is studying in the ring with Gongzi Chu," Gong Miao'er laughed hajlily: "You're right, he was still stimulated by Xiao Chucheng's relatives." Tao'er frowned: "You're still smiling!" What can I do? If Gongzi knew, he would definitely think about the old things and anger Xiaochu. Gong Miao'er tightened her belt: "If Xiao Chu is a person who is easy to make people angry, then she is in the Chu family, but she is guilty." You go burn incense and bless her fangs and mouth, and nothing is lost. ”

"I'm talking serious, you're talking nonsense!" Tao'er was worried about Xiao Chu and got angry when she heard this. Gong Miao'er smiled: "Don't worry, according to my opinion, she won't be angry." Let the straw bales toss, I have to report to the Chu family in the afternoon. Speaking of which, I am always concerned. ”

Saying this, Tao'er was worried again, and stomped her feet and said, "Hey, you go to report the news, then Zheng Gongzi will be unlucky again." Gong Miao'er smiled: "What bad luck is he, this matter is full of wind and rain in the city, no matter how powerful the Chu family is, they will not want his life." You can rest assured. ”

Chu Huaixian is in the study today, because he wants to think about what Zhuang Huanzhi said. He was laughing a few times at the letter that Xiaoyi had brought back last time on the bookcase. This Zhuang Huanzhi really doesn't plan to marry in.

This letterhead lists several children selected by Zhuang Huanzhi herself, not only with a name, but also with an evaluation of this person. Chu Huaixian set his eyes on one of them, this is Huang Xiaohou's cousin,

"Guozijian, Qingshui Yamen. Fortunately, there is no shortage of thin fields and graves in the family, and when the career is enterprising, there is also a number of silver. Just looking at these few words, Chu Huaixian was about to laugh. It can be seen that the matchmaker talks about family affairs, the man looks at the woman's dowry, and the woman looks at the man's family background, which is a true sentence.

Because of these few words, Chu Huaixian can understand that Zhuang Huanzhi has made up her mind that she will not marry her. As a husband, he will not like it when he knows that his wife is picked and picked before she marries him. Maybe he likes to be selected by himself, but if he thinks about his wife's picking, it's like buying something, he may not like it.

was laughing, and Jin Xi'er replied: "Gong Zizhen begged to see his son." Chu Huaixian was smiling fondly, and said casually: "Let him in." Gong Miao'er came in, lay on the ground and kowtowed, he was a bold person, and said, "Please be safe with the young lady." "Let's bring Xiao Chu in.

Chu Huaixian asked him to get up: "What is there to hear outside?" "These people who walk the streets and alleys come, of course, because they have news to listen to. Gong Miao'er just said: "...... A restaurant was opened outside the west gate, saying that it was opened by people outside the mouth, and there were horse sellers there, saying that there were good horses to see, "Chu Huaixian came to the spirit: "You have been to see it, but it is really good?" Gong Miao'er said: "I heard that the son wants to be optimistic about the horse, so I'll go and inquire and talk about it." ”

Then he said, "....... There was a rich man who did things at home, and the monks in the two temples quarreled, and the fight was full of bald heads, which made everyone laugh on the street...... "Chu Huaixian also laughed: "I think it's good-looking." Gong Miao'er swallowed and vomited next, and Chu Huaixian raised his vigilance: "You say? ”

"It's that Zheng's person who doesn't know what to do," Gong Miao'er's face was solemn, as if Zheng Yi and he also had an enmity, and the smile on his face was different from the smile on his face when he saw Zheng Yi: "He doesn't know what evil he has fallen into, and he has to study and study at home behind closed doors, and he has to take the exam." ”

Chu Huaixian's face was not good-looking, it was not that Zheng Yi's straw bag was going to take the exam, but since the Chinese New Year, no one dared to mention Zheng Yi in front of him. He snorted out of his nose and asked slowly, "Is he still thinking in his heart?" Gong Miao'er was startled, and carefully raised her eyelids to look at Chu Huaixian's face and replied: "Maybe, I have business dealings with his uncle, and I heard about it at his uncle's house, what does he think I haven't seen, and he doesn't dare to think about it anymore." ”

The eldest prince of Chu, who had a gloomy face, was angry for a while, and then slowly said to Gong Miao'er: "You have King Liang now, and there is no need to mention the things that the young lady was messing around with before." Before Gong Miao'er came, he thought at home that the son would say this, but he didn't care about what he was saying about Chu Huaixian, so he hurriedly grabbed the words and said: "Of course, the young lady doesn't dare to alarm now, but there were still some accounts in the past, and she had to look at it." If the young lady is in good health, it would be better to ask her to come out and ask for a few more words. ”

"No need, you can make up your own mind." Chu Huaixian said lightly: "You have honored me before, what do you have to say, come again." ”

Gong Miao'er failed again, and did not find out Lin Xiaochu as she wished.
