Although I don't know what the two of them are going to do, seeing the embarrassment on He's face, Li's heart is very clear. This Gong family is this kind of virtue, every time he doesn't say anything directly, he just wants to pull the He family together.

And He has a soft temperament, every time he wants to refuse, he never succeeds. However, what she thought in her heart, Li didn't know. In addition to being difficult to refuse, I also have the same expectations as Gong in my heart.

Seeing this, Li opened his throat and shouted: "Yuping, Yuping, come out quickly!" I don't know what I'm doing. I tell you, if you don't leave, it's going to rain this day, do you want to be drenched in the rain? Alas, this road is too rotten, a foot of mud. By the way, two siblings, what are you doing here? ”

Li's words are useless, after all, the road has always been like this, isn't it muddy when it rains.

Hearing this, Gong said: "Sister-in-law, don't you hear my father say that you are going to Chenjia Village to exchange seeds!" You're too much of an outsider, and you don't call us along. This kind of child is rewarded by the emperor, and it is very precious, just you and Yuping, it is not safe to think about it. It's better to take us along, there are more people. ”

Is it safe to have fewer people? She and Yuping even went to the capital, and nothing happened. Now, it's just going to Chenjia Village, not going up to the knife mountain and going down to the sea of fire.

Besides, whoever says that the more people are safe. With her, it's called insecurity, who knows what will happen to her when she sees the golden immortal fruit.

To say that this news is only known to his own family. Thinking of this, Li glared at Ruan Dalang fiercely, feeling a little resentful in his heart. This matter must have been told by him to the old man of the Ruan family, because the others didn't know about it at all.

The reason why the Li family is like this is to prevent the Gong family.

She likes to take advantage of the most, and she likes to join in the fun. Two days ago, she held a banquet at home, but she tried her best to communicate with the villagers, and there was something she didn't know, but it seemed that she was the hostess of the house.

And they went to Chenjia Village this time to exchange seeds and do business. More importantly, they are going to come back with some longevity fruit. Rumors, this longevity fruit is very delicious. With Gong's temperament, he will definitely find a way to taste it when the time comes.

However, this is a seed, and even if you want to eat it, you will only eat it next year.

And they don't know if this year is still suitable for growing long-lived fruits. If she could plant it, she would plant it immediately when she got home, and she didn't believe that Gong could still go to the field to pick seeds and eat them.

But if it can't, it means that this kind of seed needs to be kept at home and put it until next year. In this year, who knows what the hell the Gong family will come up with. In a year's time, there are too many variables.

Seeing that Li didn't speak, and He didn't speak, Gong said directly to He: "Brother and sister, didn't we say okay, let's accompany my sister-in-law to Chenjia Village together." If you agreed, why don't you speak now? ”

Gong is very smart, and she impressed He to come with him for this reason: "Brother and sister, sister-in-law went to Chenjia Village to exchange longevity fruit seeds this time. As you know, the longevity fruit is very precious. If we can go with us this time and get some seeds, we will have a better time next year. ”

He felt that Gong's words were good, and they didn't want silver, but they just wanted a little seed, and Li would agree. When there is a good harvest this year or next, they will have silver. When the time comes, life will be over.

So, she followed.

"Are you sure you want to go along? It's a very difficult road! Look at the road yourself, go all the way down, and you don't need shoes. Li knew that Gong was most afraid of mud, so he said this deliberately.

She didn't want to embarrass He, after all, He didn't hate him.

But Gong said: "Sister-in-law, no matter how muddy this road is, I will go, you see, I have put on straw sandals, and I also brought a pair of shoes to prepare." Anyway, these shoes are worthless, and they will be thrown away when they get to the city. ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Li felt that he couldn't get around today, so he sighed: "Okay, then you can follow us." By the way, we are going to spend one night in Chenjia Village, so go home and talk to your family, and bring a change of clothes by the way. ”

Hearing this, Gong thought that Li was going to break them up, maybe as soon as they left, Li and Yuping quietly left. If that's the case, it won't be easy for them to catch up when the time comes.

After thinking about it, Gong said, "Brother and sister, go back and help me talk about it, my sister-in-law and I are waiting for you here." Anyway, it's just a one-night stay, so I don't need to bring this change of clothes. Go ahead, go faster. ”

When Li heard this, he almost fainted. Rao is that she has also been to the capital now, but she has never seen such a difficult person. For a while, Li didn't speak, but Gong looked like he had succeeded in his plan, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Fortunately, He came back soon with a baggage. Seeing this, a few people stepped into the mud and walked towards the city.

When the four of them stepped into the mud, when the mud and dirty water squeezed into the soles of their feet, Gong began to regret it. What she hates the most in her life is to take this kind of road, feeling like death. When she was a child, her father walked on his back, and when she was older, she didn't leave home, and she basically didn't travel in this weather when she got married.

But now, I can only go forward.

It's just that while walking, he complained: "Sister-in-law, why don't you call the car in." I'm fine, Yuping is young, she hasn't married yet, she doesn't play with the cold, and she also has ...... in her heirs."

Before she finished speaking, she heard Yuping say unceremoniously: "Auntie, I've only walked a few steps to say, and it's not too late to go back!" As for me, I've been used to walking in this mud since I was a child, but I'm not as delicate as you say. We wanted to call a car in, but in this case, no matter how much money we were given, they wouldn't want to come. ”

If it had been changed before, the Li family would definitely have scolded Yuping a few words, and felt that this was a bit respectful and inferior. However, now I feel that Yuping has done the right thing.

It is necessary to pay attention to dignity and humility, but it is also necessary for the other party to be worthy of respect. As far as the Gong family is concerned, where is there a half-way elder? She used to be so talkative.

It was He Shi, who walked forward steadily, and asked Yuping if she wanted her to help with the backpack, which is what an elder should look like.

When Gong saw that Li didn't open his mouth to help, he knew that he had said the wrong thing again. However, she herself knew that if she really had a problem with Yuping, the Li family would be unhappy when she thought about it.

Forget it, for the sake of seeds, she endures!

In this way, several people walked towards the city, one foot deep and one shallow. However, after walking for a while, you have to take a break and stop to remove the excess mud from your shoes. Although these straw sandals do not store water, they are very muddy.

No, it only took about half an hour for a few people to walk before a lot of mud stuck to it.

So they either washed their feet by the pond or poked the mud off with branches from the tree so that they could continue their journey. Otherwise, it looks like the feet weigh a thousand pounds.

Several people were busy on the road, but Dong Ming's family in Dongjiawan was as lively as when Yuping's family held a banquet a few days ago, and the small courtyard was crowded with people who came to celebrate Dong Mingju.

Since Dong Mingju and Zhou's triumphant return from the capital, bringing good news, the whole village has been a sensation. You must know that this village is also very poor, and most of the villagers are still struggling with food and clothing, and they are not rich at all, let alone send their children to private schools to study.

As a result, the entire village has not had a talent for several generations.

However, Dong Mingju was now received by the emperor and the magistrate, and in addition to the previous rice and white flour, he was also rewarded with fifty acres of land and three new seeds. And the magistrate gave an additional reward of twenty taels.

Counting up, Dong Mingju is already the most promising young offspring in Dongjiawan in recent generations. And Zhou said that she was about to send Dong Mingju to study in a private school, and the academy had been found, which was the best Qingshan Academy in Qingshan County.

Yesterday, when their family took Dong Mingju to the academy, it happened that Tao Zhixian was also there, and they came and went, I don't know if Mr. really fell in love with Dong Mingju or sold Tao Zhixian a face, in short, Mr. had promised Dong Mingju to go to the academy to study, and he would report the day after tomorrow.

Therefore, the Zhou family decided to hold a banquet today and invite the whole village to have a meal together, happy and happy.

Needless to say, the quality of the food is still made by the Yaya Township Kitchen in Chenjia Village. And the Zhou family was willing to buy meat, and sincerely wanted to earn face for his son, and the villagers were amazed by the meal.

At the level of this banquet, they can't eat so well during the New Year.

After the meal, under the witness of the whole village, the village chief personally enclosed a piece of land, and handed over the title deed to Dong Mingju's father, Dong Wangwu. The quality of this place is naturally excellent, after all, the magistrate personally sent someone to find him, saying that this is the emperor's intention, and he must do it.

Of course, it was also given to silver.

Dong Wangwu is an honest farmer who has farmed all his life and has five children with Zhou, including Dong Mingju. The family had a hard time, and the land was naturally rented, and there was no land of their own at all.

Therefore, this was the first time he had seen what the title deed looked like. Holding the title deed tightly, his hands trembled with excitement.

Compared with Ruan Yuping, Dong Wangwu took this title deed with peace of mind, and he didn't have to think about what others would say. This is the land that the emperor gave to his son, and that is his land. If nothing else, it is impossible for Dong Mingju to be a son-in-law for others.

As for Dong Mingju's family affairs, it was also quite smooth. Originally, Zhou also asked Dong Mingju to consider Ruan Yuping's. Because she also got along with Li's mother and daughter for a while along the way, she felt that Ruan Yuping's girl was more and more pleasing to the eye, and the key was that there was a dowry of fifty acres of land.

However, Dong Mingju unceremoniously told her that he didn't like Ruan Yuping, and Ruan Yuping already had a sweetheart, and Zhou's enthusiasm immediately dropped. The co-author already has a sweetheart, and she is an afterthought.

When they returned to Dongjiawan, as soon as the news of the emperor's reward for land and silver came out, and they learned that Dong Mingju had been admitted to Qingshan Academy, a matchmaker immediately came to the door to say goodbye, and they were all better than a family.

For example, in the village on the other side of the mountain, there is a family surnamed Zhang, who has been a merchant for generations. The second daughter of the family is fourteen years old this year, and as far as the matchmaker is concerned, as long as they can get married, the Zhang family is willing to pay a dowry of two hundred taels of silver to take a shop in the city.

That's a good condition.

Next, just like a competition, several matchmakers came to the door one after another, and the conditions given were better than the other, which made Zhou and Dong Wangwu completely dumbfounded and dazzled. In their opinion, any one is good, as long as they can get married, they will send it.

In this way, I don't know what to do.

In the end, Dong Ming came forward and refused: "Dad, mother, I just want to study hard now." Otherwise, let me be every year, if the child really can't keep up, if it's not this material, I will come back honestly and get married. ”

Hearing this, Zhou hurriedly "bah" a few times and said: "You don't count what you say, what does it mean that you can't study?" You're so smart, you can't do it. ”

However, Dong Mingju knows the gap between himself and others, after all, he is a monk halfway through and has missed the best opportunity to study. The only thing he can rely on is his innate super memory, his ability to never forget, and his perseverance that is already more assiduous than others.

Therefore, what he said was actually the truth, anyway, he would go to the academy for a trial year, and if it didn't work, he would come back to farm. With those fifty acres of land that does not have to pay taxes, plus three new seeds, the Dong family is not to say that they are rich and expensive, but it is still possible to run to a medium-sized family.

Seeing that their son was so determined, Zhou and Dong Wangwu immediately rejected the matchmaker, but the words were polite, "It's not that our family is picky, I really want to take advantage of his young age to hurry up and try to study." If you win, I'll trouble you to help when the time comes. ”

By the time the four of them arrived in the city in embarrassment, their trouser legs were almost all covered with mud, and there were mud spots on their clothes. When you walk, you will inevitably splash mud. Therefore, before entering the city, Li organized a few people to go to the creek to wash it, and changed the shoes that had been prepared long ago, and then entered the city with a tired body.

In normal times, it will only take more than two hours to enter the city. Today is good, at least no less than three and a half hours have been walked. Fortunately, they set off early, before dawn, so it was almost time for lunch.

Li was too lazy to worry about the two younger siblings, so after thinking about it, he took them to a place first to ask when the bus to Chenjia Village would leave, and then asked the price, and then pulled a few people to a small restaurant specializing in selling noodles and sat down.

As soon as his butt touched the stool, Li leaned against the table and didn't want to move. Before the change, she had no problem at all. But in the past two months, I didn't have to worry about eating and drinking with Ruan Yuping, and I either went shopping or bought snacks to eat all day long, and my physical strength suddenly deteriorated a lot.

Seeing this, Gong originally wanted to laugh a few words, but seeing that He had been giving her a look, he suddenly understood that he was asking for help now, so he swallowed those words with interest.

After resting, Li called the boss and said, "I want a bowl of noodles with an omelette, and my daughter wants a bowl of poached egg noodles." Brother and sister, what do you want to eat? ”

He thought about it and ordered a bowl of the cheapest Yangchun noodles. Although she is illiterate, she still knows the price. Gong was not polite at all, and ordered a side of mutton noodles.

When Li heard this, he said to the boss: "In this way, let's have a bowl of Zhenzi noodles, a bowl of poached egg noodles, two bowls of mutton noodles, and three fried eggs." Well, that's all. ”

He was surprised to hear this, but he kept his head down, embarrassed to look up at Li. It was Gong, who looked as he should be, leaning against the table obliquely, smelling the fragrance of the store.

Instead of cheap Gong's, it is better for everyone to eat the same.

"Sister-in-law, this shop is really good, you know it's delicious when you smell it, you and Yuping don't come to eat less, right?" Gong asked, half tentatively, half seriously.

Hearing this, Li said: "Yo, brother and sister, don't you need money to eat here, where can you come often?" Even when Yuping was training in the county government, the government still provided food. Besides, where is the silver? and the land cannot be sold. If I can sell it, I will sell ten acres of land, and I will have silver. ”

Ruan Yuping stared at the shop, and looked around again while the noodles were not served. The shop is small and the kitchen is small, so it's very suitable for business.

The shop she inquired about before should be of this type. In this way, it is okay to have a small shop, first, the location should be good, and second, you should think about what to do.

When the noodles were served, the Li family began to eat. Xu was very hungry when he walked, so the noodles bottomed out after a while. After thinking about it, Li said, "Boss, do you have baked cakes here?" If you have one, there will be four more pancakes. ”

Gong Shi listened, and then began to eat, ate the noodles in the bowl in a few bites, took the cake, broke it little by little, and threw it into the soup.

In this way, it was not until the soup was drunk and he burped with satisfaction that Li took out the money to settle the account, and led a few people to the place where they had just taken the car.

Just after walking a few steps, Ruan Yuping and Li heard a familiar voice shouting: "Aunt Li, Sister Yuping, have you also entered the city?" ”

The two looked back, but saw Sun Yunxue sitting in the carriage, opening the curtain and smiling at the two. Seeing this, Ruan Yuping hurriedly said: "Yes, Sister Yunxu, my mother and my second aunt and third aunt have just had dinner, and we are going to take the car to Chenjia Village to do errands." ”

"Go to Chenjia Village, just right, I also want to go back, then you come up, I'll give you a ride." At this point, there are not many people in the car, but it is difficult to find a car. ”

As he spoke, he shouted: "Qianguo, Qianguo, you stop the car." ”

When Li Shi heard this, he was a little embarrassed and said: "How can this be done, you see that we are dirty, don't make the carriage dirty for you." ”

Hearing this, Sun Yunxue said, "Auntie, I'm going to be angry if you say this again." I've lived with Yuping's sister for so long, but you're out of sight when you say that. ”

Sun Yunxue is telling the truth, she has long regarded Yuping as half a relative. During that time, the two worked together for a common purpose, helped each other a lot, and finally won the first place in the country as they wished.

Even Dong Mingju is the same, if it weren't for a man, they would have become sisters a long time ago.

In this way, several people got into the carriage one after another.

He was a little restrained, but Gong was familiar, and as soon as he sat down, he asked Yun Xu: "Big sister, are you also from Chenjia Village?" Speaking of which, your carriage is so beautiful. ”

Yun Xue said, "You are Yuping's second aunt, right?" Then I'll call you an aunt too. I, I got married a few years ago, and it was my father-in-law who was driving the car in front. Do you think this carriage is beautiful? I decorated it myself, the curtains, the cushions, and the carriages, all of which I personally chose. ”

Since finding her own ancestral home, Sun Yunxue's personality has returned to her previous liveliness and coolness, and she is no longer gloomy.

After getting the brassica's response, Gong said, "Yo, this is what your family bought by themselves, it's worth a lot of silver, right?" Thanks to you, I'm not afraid of your jokes, it's the first time my aunt has taken a carriage! ”

"It's not worth much, and now almost every household in our village has bought a horse-drawn carriage, and it's not uncommon. But this decoration, I took a lot of pain. ”

Sun Yunxuan was telling the truth.

Last year, Chenjia Village received a large number of tourists, and the two places of Lotus Inn and Changyin Pavilion alone have added a lot of income to the village. Coupled with the silver from the previous shop, during the Chinese New Year, Chenjiacun began a vigorous silver distribution meeting.

And in addition to the silver which must be kept, he divided thirty taels according to the head of each person. Although it is not very many in the eyes of the villagers of Chenjia Village, it is simply astronomical in the eyes of other villages.

In addition, the road from the village to the establishment has been repaired and the whole process is connected, so now almost every household has bought a horse-drawn cart or ox cart to facilitate travel.

As for the rest, the village chief said that the village would start re-planning, and silver would be used in many places. But in fact, Chen Qianshan got Ye Feng's secret news and knew that the emperor was going to come to Weifu for a private visit, so he hurriedly asked Chen Jifa to start doing what Ye Feng said.

Chen Jifa was even more frightened and didn't dare to speak, and at the same time began to jump up again. You must know that the news that Sun Yunxue met the emperor and the queen mother has spread, and everyone is envious.

If they knew that the emperor was coming, wouldn't they faint with joy?

It's just that this can't be said everywhere, but it needs to be kept secret. Ye Feng and Chen Qianshan had already told him several times.

Therefore, he really endured the hard work, so he spent his energy on infrastructure. The people in the village didn't know the inside story, so they felt that the village chief had nothing to say, worked hard and complained, and thought about them wholeheartedly.

This is simply crooked, Chen Jifa had no choice but to continue, tired and happy.

When the Li family saw the Gong family, he knew that he would ask Sun Yunxue for silver, and he would not meet anyone, who knew what people thought in their hearts, so he changed the topic and said: "By the way, have your grandfathers settled them?" You think it's going well, right? ”

Hearing this, Sun Yunxuan said happily: "Yes, we had dinner in the restaurant that day, so we went to the yamen to get the settlement paper, and bought some food back." It's not. The village chief took the settlement paper, and was very enthusiastic, not only demarcating the land for us, but also letting us live in the Lotus Inn temporarily. We will move in as soon as our new house is built. ”

Speaking of her grandfather's family, Sun Yunxue was very happy. Her mother, Wei and Sun Laosan, also moved over, and the family all lived in the Lotus Inn. Moreover, as soon as they came back, they quickly separated from each other, and Sun Yunxue even proposed that they didn't want anything, and wanted to leave the house with Chen Qianguo.

There are many Chen family members, so they naturally agree.

The old people feel that Sun Yunxu has fifty acres of land, and he has just divided the silver, and life is not a problem at all, and he still has a large family with his grandfather, and it is indeed inconvenient to live together, so it is good.

So, everyone in this family was very happy.

"By the way, is your land marked?" Sun Yunxuan asked.

"It's divided, and it's divided the next day when I go back. I wanted to come for a long time, but it wasn't because your sister-in-law was delayed, so I came late. Li said happily.

This is the most efficient thing in the village since they moved to this village. It's going to change the past, wait slowly, and the Year of the Monkey can be done.

"Ah, Sister Yuping is married, congratulations. Well, let me guess, isn't that where it is? Sun Yunxuan said with a smile.

After saying that, I felt a little inappropriate, after all, this is the decision of two young people, and it is the adults who really call the shots, and if the adults disagree, it will be a little embarrassing.

Who knew that Li said generously: "It's his house." Two days ago, someone came to the door to propose, and we agreed after discussion. In the past two days, I have been combining the eight characters, and the white woman whispered to me, saying that the eight characters of the two children are a rare match made in heaven, so ah, this pro should be decided. ”

People are in good spirits when they are happy, and Li can't stop when he talks about Yuping's family affairs. Her Li daughter has finally married a good family, and she won't have to worry about it in the next life, God bless.
