The three Wu aunts and sisters-in-law over there also prepared a lot of things, food and clothing, all available, because most of the way is by water, but they are not afraid of bumps, but the food is not as lovely as at home. Jiangxi belongs to the south, although it is late autumn in September, the weather is not too cold, and ordinary cooked food can not be put for a long time, fortunately, Banniang has prepared in advance, entrusted Lu Seventeen to make more than ten catties of beef, made beef jerky, and fried salt beans, and remembered the wheat noodles fried by my grandmother when I was a child in my previous life. I thought that if I missed the time to eat, I would brew it with hot water, and it would be a hot meal.

And the farther you go north, the colder the weather becomes, and when you arrive in Shengjing, which is probably the coldest month of Layue, Banniang and her sister-in-law and Qi Niang are packing up things, while regretting that they didn't think of preparing a good padded jacket for the winter for the eldest brother and second brother.

Although the sister-in-law also prepared, but it was just for ordinary people, Shengjing is located in the north, dry and cold, and the two brothers who have lived in the south for a long time must not be able to stand it.

Thinking about it like this, I felt that all the things I brought were not enough, and I couldn't wait to bring all the good things that the family could give to my second brother.

The look of gains and losses, the Wu family, who was originally worried, laughed: "Eighth sister, don't worry too much about you, your eldest brother is used to being outside, your second brother has also traveled to the capital twice before, as long as you bring enough money, the capital is not a small place for us, what can't you buy?" ”

"Yes," Hearing the sister-in-law mention money, Banniang nodded, in her previous life, she ran all over the world, and it was just a small suitcase, and there was a credit card in her wallet, what else to worry about? Why did you become stupid? If you really care, you will be messed up, so she lost the things in her hand and asked Wu, "Sister-in-law, have you brought enough money to your eldest brother?" It is said that it is not easy to live in the capital, the brothers are going to catch the exam, when they arrive in Beijing, they must live well, eat well, and money is the most indispensable, I remember that there seems to be seven or eight hundred yuan at home, right? Bring 400 guan to your brothers, and there will always be a Jiaozi shop in Beijing. ”

Wu shook his head with a smile: "What is needed there?" I originally asked to bring more, but your eldest brother said that he couldn't use it, so he only took a hundred yuan. ”

"A hundred? How's that going to work? "Although Banniang has never been to Beijing, she has also inquired about the approximate cost in the past, a hundred yuan for two people, it will be enough, if you want to live better and eat better, it will definitely not work, besides, when the time comes, you will not spend money with those literati and scholars? You can't call your brother shabby.

Isn't this money fought for to live a good life? How can you go out and have some money to spare?

"Sister-in-law, if you go and get two hundred yuan, you must let your brothers bring it, in case you have a place to use money, but the money you bring is not enough, and then you are not familiar with the place, won't it make your brothers embarrassed? Besides, when they arrived in Beijing, it was cold weather, if they didn't have the money to take care of, would they have to make their brothers suffer? ”

Wu was also flustered by what she said, didn't she think about it? In the past, the family had no money, but now it is not nothing.

Banniang said: "Seventh sister, you clean up first, and my sister-in-law and I will go to get some money first and ask my brothers to bring it." ”

Because he was afraid that the eldest brother and the second brother would not be willing to spend that money, he pulled the Wu family out of the door, intending to persuade him in person.

When Wu took the money and went to Zhu's room together, the two brothers were sitting there listening to Zhu's talk, Banniang took Jiaozi from her hand, handed it to Zhu, and said: "Mother, sister-in-law said that the brothers only took a hundred yuan to go up, you also say, this hundred yuan in addition to the expenses back and forth to us, there is not much money available in Beijing, and when the time comes, you have to stay, eat, and have to add a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, where is enough?" I asked my sister-in-law to marry another 200 guan, and asked my brothers to bring it, there are still hundreds of guan at home, and there is no place to use money for a while, and the martial arts family wants me a few samples every month, and there is an income every month, so you better let my brother bring these 200 guan. ”

Zhu glanced at Wu: "You are really, didn't you say that you would take 300 guan for their brothers to bring?" Why was it only given a hundred? ”

Wu Shi hurriedly explained: "Mother, it's not that the daughter-in-law didn't give it, it's really the eldest man who said that the family is fully prepared, and it doesn't need so much, and there are many places to use money in the future, the younger brothers marry wives, and the younger sisters get married, everything has to be paid, and we can't add input to the family, where is it good to be extravagant, so we don't want to live or die." The daughter-in-law also persuaded ......"

Zhu interrupted her words, handed the thick stack of Jiaozi to Zeng Ziye's hand, and said: "Take it, Jingli is not as good as the family, I used to embarrass you, there is no way, although this money is fought for by your eighth sister, but she is the daughter of our family, what she is fighting for is not what you are fighting for, what is not good to take?" If you are all out of luck, aren't you the support of their sisters? Besides, won't they depend on your brothers in the future? A family, what is there to push around? If you don't want it again, don't be your mother again. I'm still waiting for you to come back to high school, and I'll fight for my life in the future. ”

Zeng Ziye saw that his mother said this, so he had to take it, thinking that he would bring it, and it would not cost him after all.

Who knew that Zhu Shi followed and said: "Use it where it should be used, the test is not child's play, you can't eat and sleep well, how can you spend all your heart on the exam?" It's a pity that our family doesn't have a capable ten people, the old Huang Bo is also old, no one follows you, and I am really worried, I want to say, when you get to Beijing, you don't want to live in any inn, it's too noisy, if you can find a suitable place, rent a yard, and hire a mother-in-law who can cook to take care of your life. And because of the long distance, I don't want you to be tired, so I didn't prepare some gifts for Erlang's teacher, you went to Beijing to see the suitable ones to buy, after all, it is also a heart, and your teacher will understand. ”

Both brothers said yes again and again.

Because they were about to leave the next day, the Zhu family didn't want to say more, and asked them to go back first and rest early.

asked Wu and Banniang again: "Are all the things ready?" ”

"It's ready, Banniang is staying in the backyard to clean up." Wu replied.

Zhu Shi said again: "Go back and tell Uncle Huang that when I send it tomorrow morning, I will hire a better boat, and this waterway will take nearly a month when I get to Jiangning Mansion alone, and it will be too bad to live." If you are not afraid to spend more money, you will not be guilty. There are also the cotton clothes for the winter, although they bought new ones, but we in the south are not good to compare with the north, so we also asked them to go to the capital and buy another cotton clothes for the winter......"

After telling a lot of them, Wu responded one by one.

Zhu smiled and said to Wu: "You can also go back to the backyard, everything is careful, you will leave tomorrow morning, don't forget anything." This is the time of the year, and I will go back and have a good talk with Da Lang,"

Wu was a little embarrassed, his face was slightly red, and he saw Banniang winking at her with a smile, and then went back to the backyard together.

In the main house, Zeng Ziye is teaching his son that they can't relax their studies when they are at home, and if they don't understand anything, just ask Mr. Chen, if they don't make progress in their studies when they come back, they will be served by the family law.

Wu listened on the side, and after talking for a while, Zeng Ziye let the two sons go back to their own house.

Wu said angrily: "Ming'er is gone, and I don't know how to say something soft and gentle to my son today." ”

As he spoke, he leaned on the past, and his heart was full of reluctance.

Zeng Ziye thought that his wife had not had a good life with him, and before parting, his heart was full of tenderness for a while, so he took her into his arms, and the husband and wife said a lot of warm words, and then fell asleep.

Over there, Banniang and the second brother who loved him the most parted for half a year, and he was also full of reluctance, and pulled Qi Niang forward to speak, and also carefully told him, Zeng Zigu said with a smile: "Your second brother is in his twenties, and you two little girls want to worry about it?" Let's go back to sleep. ”

Banniang thought about the great scene when the Great Song Kingdom released the list, and said with a smile: "Second brother, I heard that it is popular in Beijing to catch a son-in-law, you have to pay attention when you go back, so you can find a gentle, lovely and beautiful sister-in-law for us to come back." ”

Zeng Zigu heard it, he was angry and funny, he took the book in his hand and was about to shoot it, Banniang was very clever, and as soon as he finished speaking, he was hot and wanted to slip away, and when he saw the book drawn, he had already fled to the door with Qi Niang, turned around and made a grimace, and then went out.

There was still some parting emotion, and she was so relieved to make such a fuss.
