I also said before that I was worried that Ah Lan would suffer in the Zeng family, but now I said that Ah Lan was living a good life, and the neighbors listened to it and said: "Mrs. Qian, if you want to slander the Zeng family, you have to find a good reason first, how can you act like this?" It's a shame for us Nanfeng people. ”

Ah Tian on the side also pulled Ah Lan's sleeve and said, "Sister, don't listen to your mother, where is there nothing to eat?" You can eat meat every day at home. You just have to live your life here. Ah Tian must study hard, and he will also take the Jinshi exam in the future, and when Ah Tian is rich, he will redeem his sister and come out, and his sister will live with Ah Tian in the future. Ah Tian must also let her sister eat well and dress well, no worse than other official ladies. ”

Listening to his younger brother's words, Ah Lan's heart was warm, she smiled, and rubbed Xiao Ah Tian's head: "Sister knows, sister is waiting for the day when you become an official." ”

The neighbors outside listened to the words of the Qian family's little Ah Tian, and they all laughed, and sighed that the crooked tree of the Qian family was born into a good seedling, and Ah Tianwa was a good child with a conscience.

Mrs. Qian twisted her son's ears angrily, and with a shy face, she rushed out of the yard and went back to her shop.

Liu Niang led the sisters to thank the neighbors, especially the old man who helped read the deed just now, and asked Qi Niang to take some snacks and pine eggs to wrap them as a gift, the old man smiled and said: "Where does Liu Niang need to be so polite?" But this thing, let my old man accept it, and they all said that your Zeng's Songhua egg is good, and I am fortunate to taste it today. ”

Liuniang called Jue'er over and sent the old man out.

When everyone dispersed, Ah Lan said to a few people apologetically: "I'm really sorry for a few young ladies, it's all Ah Lan's fault, and I've caused trouble to the young ladies and their wives." ”

Sanniang smiled and shook her hand and comforted: "It's none of your business, you just have to stay at home." ”

A few people went to the old lady's courtyard together, so that the old lady could feel at ease.

But he said that after the Qian mother-in-law went back, she still didn't give up, so she said to her son Ah Tian: "You dead boy, isn't your wife for you?" You tear down the old lady's platform, when you go to school tomorrow, you will also go to your sister and ask her to hand over all the monthly money to me in the future, the Zeng family just treats her as a slave, how can I be a mother good to her? The money was saved for her, and when she promised someone else in the future, she could give her a dowry, and now which woman has no dowry and can marry a good person? ”

Ah Tian turned his head and sat there, ignoring his mother, he was really anxious, so he shouted: "At the beginning, you said that you sold my sister and sold it, but now you want her idea of monthly money, how much can it be?" My sister doesn't need you to prepare any dowry, she will have me in the future. ”

Mrs. Qian was angry and stretched out her hand to beat, but Ah Tian turned around and ran, and turned around and said: "If you go to Mr. Zeng's house to make trouble in the future, you will really be sent to the county office, and I won't go to intercede, I have to wait for everyone to laugh at our Qian family for being ruthless and unjust, and even a daughter can't tolerate you to be happy?" Mother, you are like this, how will you behave in the future after calling your son? Who dares to marry their daughter to your family as a daughter-in-law? If you really want to get to the point where you don't have anything to eat, I just want to eat and feed you, so you can save it. ”

Mrs. Qian was angry and fell down, but she hated her son for not listening to her, so she had to lash at the tablet of Daddy Qian's in the hall: "It's all you dead ghost who went early, leaving our mother and son behind, how can I live." ”

Not to mention how the Qian family is, the next morning, the brothers and sisters of the Zeng family got up early, all cleaned up neatly, had breakfast, and were ready to set off for Magu Mountain, Xu Shisan also prepared a carriage and sent a few young ladies to the dock, while the men walked on foot, arrived at the dock, and waited for everyone to gather, then got on the boat, went up the Xujiang River, and when they arrived at the foot of Magu Mountain, it was the end of the day, the sun was shining, and it was the best weather in late spring.

For a while, the flowers and birds are singing, and the spring breeze in the mountains is blowing, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

In order to save time, although it was time for lunch, the brothers and sisters discussed, but they did not go to the farmers near the foot of the mountain to eat, but ate some dry food and snacks prepared at home with the mountain spring water, and marched to the mountain.

The brothers and sisters walked up the mountain road, and because of the reward and encouragement, all of them walked like flying, and they couldn't wait to run to the mountain peak in one breath.

Guan Jinghui knew that his mother's health was not good, so he naturally stayed behind and walked with Sanniang, and persuaded: "Walk slowly, if you are tired for a while, just find a mountain chariot and ask you to go up, and it won't cost you a lot of money." ”

Sanniang smiled back: "I know that you are worried about me, don't worry, I know in my heart, when I am really tired, I will squeak." ”

As she spoke, she looked at Banniang, who was not in a hurry or impatience by her side: "Why is Eighth Sister so leisurely?" Why don't you fight? ”

Banniang blinked, and said with a ghostly smile: "Third sister, don't worry, you have to make it to the point, don't look at the joy they are running now, I will overtake them for a while, they will rush forward at this time, and they will not have the strength to go halfway up the mountain, then it is the time for me to exert my strength, besides, we are here to play, just chase the mountain road, where can I still be in the mood to enjoy the scenery along the way?" It's putting the cart before the horse. ”

"Eighth sister, what she said is a bit philosophical." Guan Jinghui smiled and praised.

"Don't boast about her, this girl is a lot smarter." Sanniang was happy when she saw her husband praising her sister, and she was humble.

Guan Jinghui said with a smile: "The lady's words are bad, the eighth sister's words are great wisdom." ”

Banniang was embarrassed, and she didn't dare to brag anymore, so she only called Liuniang and Qiniang in front: "Sisters, wait for me." ”

Yun Xian and Ah Lan, like the bird that released the cage, flew to the top early.

Fortunately, the trend of foot binding has not spread to the south at this time, otherwise if someone binds their feet, let alone climb the mountain, I am afraid that if I walk a few steps, it will hurt to die or live.

Because the little tenth sister is too small, I didn't take her out this time, Jue'er is the elder brother, holding Gong'er's hand to take care of it, the eldest brother and the second brother are looking at the scenery while walking, and the others are half-walking and half-running in front of the giggles, but Xiaojiulang Zixuan, the little adult, with a pair of hands behind his back, follows the eldest brother and the second brother unhurriedly.

Sure enough, after walking for a while, the people who had only seen a small figure in front of them slowed down. Banniang proudly smiled at Sanniang and the third brother-in-law behind her: "Sister, brother-in-law, look, I'm not wrong, right?" It's up to me this time. ”

Saying that, let go of the hands of Liu Niang and Qi Niang, this time her hands and feet also moved, she was also used to outdoor activities in her previous life, and naturally knew how to walk the mountain road to save effort, so she marched to the top of the mountain like the wind.

It was only a moment of effort, and he had caught up with Shiro and Zifu in front of him, and seeing that she was about to rush over, Shiro hurriedly instructed Gorou: "You hurry up and follow and protect the eight girls, but don't accidentally fall and knock, this halfway up the mountainside is really going to hurt, where can I find a doctor to treat her?" ”

Gorou got the word, pulled Zijing and chased after him.

Zi Jian smiled and looked at the figure of Banniang walking like a fly, pouted and panted Yun Xian and said: "Little sister, don't compare with Ba Yatou, it's not ashamed to lose, she has been practicing martial arts for more than a year." It's not surprising that the body is stronger than you. ”

Although Yun Xian was not convinced, there was no way, there was still most of the mountain road to go, but her legs were like lead, and she couldn't lift them up, so she had to continue to slowly move forward one step at a time, and then looked back at the six Niang and Qi Niang and San Niang couples who were behind, and laughed smugly, after all, she didn't fall to the end.

In front of her, Banniang went back to Wulang, who had come to Magu Mountain: "Fifth brother, what are the famous places in this Gu Mountain?" When the time comes, you will also point it out to us, and if there are any allusions, you will also say that you will listen to me and Brother Zijing. ”

Wulang said with a smile: "In fact, Magu Mountain is very beautiful, the scenery is natural, there are three valleys of Mayuan, the reputation of the thirteen springs, but it is covered by the name of Taoism, if you say the scenery, in addition to the three valleys of Mayuan and the thirteen springs, there are also the relics of the famous hermit Huazi period of the Qin period who wrote a book here - Huazigang, and there is Ge Hong, a Jin person, who wrote the "Legend of the Immortals", the Danjing left during the alchemy here, and the Taoist temple presided over by Deng Si, the real person of Ziyang in the Tang Dynasty, and was summoned by Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. We can see it along the way for a while, and when we get there, the fifth brother will explain it to you. ”
