After talking about the business, Zeng Zigu and Uncle Liu started farming, Banniang and Alan helped Granny Liu prepare meals, and at noon, Tie Dan and Dog Dan came back, and they were very happy to see Banniang, and asked about Jue'er again, and they were called by Uncle Liu. Let the two boys take out the words they write on weekdays and the exercises they do to Zeng Zigu to show Zeng Zigu and help guide them one or two.

Don't look at these two little guys who are usually very happy, in front of the famous genius of the Great Song Dynasty, they also saluted honestly, humbly taught, and couldn't wait to ask everything they didn't understand on weekdays.

Uncle Liu looked at it, and his mind came alive.

If the Zeng family really opened a carpentry shop, he and Erlang went to the city, had a stable income, took the old wife over, and gave the family's land to other families to plant, wouldn't it be possible to bring these two babies to the city and enter the Zeng family's school?

Thinking about it like this, I can't wait for the Zeng family's woodware shop to open immediately. I feel more and more that I should accompany Mr. Zeng to the timber shop to choose wood another day, and help the Zeng family to make a dowry.

After lunch, he hurried back to the city, and made an appointment with Uncle Liu, because Liu Erlang also wanted to go back to the city, and took the carriage of the Zeng family to go away, Granny Liu also enthusiastically went to the field to pull out some new spinach in autumn, early white siad, as well as autumn eggplant and other vegetables, and newly harvested peanuts and other things, let Banniang take it back.

Because they were all freshly picked in the field, Banniang also happily harvested them, and a few people returned to the city.

When I got home, I saw that Ah Lan was back again, everyone was happy, and a little pity for this girl, they all made smiling faces, and the old lady even took Ah Lan's hand and smiled: "It can be seen that your girl is related to our family." ”

Zeng Zigu and Zeng Ziye privately told Ah Lan about it, and Zeng Ziye said: "Second brother, you have always been at home, and there are very few things to socialize, so leave this matter to me." The Li family's side may not have to worry about our family for the sake of a little girl. ”

Zeng Zigu saw that the eldest brother said this, so he naturally relied on him.

The next day, Zeng Ziye went to the Qian family's oil and salt shop, and said directly to Qian Niangzi that Ah Lan is now in their house, because Ah Lan was sold, the procedures are not in accordance with the law, and this matter spreads, Qian Pozi is only afraid that she will be scolded by the neighbors for being a black-hearted stepmother, although Qian Pozi does not care about any reputation, but in the end, the matter of selling Ah Lan is very criticized, and many old neighbors have not come to her shop to buy things recently, and would rather walk a few more steps to other houses, just because she is not worth her life. If Ah Lan runs back, then the Li family will come again, she will not dare to offend the Li family, and she will have to hand over Ah Lan, if the illegal trade in front of the government will know about it, and there will be people who want to harm her to report to the official, she will not be able to eat her pocket.

Zeng Ziye hinted at these interests, then Mrs. Qian is a treacherous person, where can't she understand? was already a little scared in his heart, Zeng Ziye saw that she was showing a frightened look, so he smiled and said: "Actually, your girl fled to my house, and my little sister liked it, and I saw that she begged for pity, so I took it in for two days, and we only found out today, otherwise I would have sent you home." It's just that my old grandmother came back to see your girl, and she liked it very much, and she heard that this child had such an experience, and she was pitiful, so she sent my grandson to ask, can you buy your Ah Lan, and make a little maid for my old lady, and my old lady also said that because she likes this girl, she is willing to give twenty times. ”

When it was sold to Li Fushang, it was only fifteen guan, but now it has twenty guan, how can Mrs. Qian not want it? It was never in her heart to decide whether to live or die.

But when she thought of it, if the Li family knew that Ah Lan was rebought by the Zeng family, and when the time came, she would come to find her and ask for someone, what would she do?

Then he sneered and said: "That cheap girl can be liked by such a noble person as the old lady of your house, it is her blessing, even my face as a mother feels very glorified, the old lady of your house, that is a fate, how many can we compare in Nanfeng City?" It's just that you also know, where does my widow and mother-in-law in the Li Mansion dare to offend, if you find it in the future......"

Zeng Ziye didn't wait for her to finish, so he interrupted her words and snorted coldly: "Could it be that in your Qian mother-in-law's heart, my family is not as good as that Li Yuanwai's family?" Are you afraid of offending his family, and even the face of my old lady will be splashed? If that's the case, I don't have anything to say, I also know a few people in the county government, the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival a day ago, I also had dinner with the county commander and the intellectual, I don't believe it, then Li Yuanwai's family is just a five-grade official, my old lady's four-grade life, I can't buy a girl from your family? ”

The current official is not as good as the current management, the old man of the Zeng family and the second lang of his family are deeply respected by the current Zhijun Yamato County Commander, and Mrs. Qian has also heard of it, and when she thinks that although the Li family is evil, she will only put the responsibility on the Zeng family to buy it by force, and she can't take her as a good citizen when she wants to come to the Li family.

Thinking about it like this, he smiled shyly, and pulled Zeng Ziye, who was about to go out with his sleeves flicked up: "Don't be angry, big official, it's all my money mother-in-law, your old lady likes that girl, it is a blessing that the girl can only cultivate in eight lifetimes, how can I, a mother, stop this girl's good future?" It's up to you, it's just the money from the sale of your body......"

"The big officials don't scream nonsense, and I can't deserve it. Twenty runs, there can only be so much, if you don't want to, I'll send that girl to the yamen, if you want someone, just go to the yamen. Besides, they are all neighbors, and it has been so many years, what is the situation in my family, Mrs. Qian, you want to come and know, you can produce 20 yuan, it is also for the sake of my old lady's face, our family is not short of manpower, what do you do to spend 20 yuan to buy a girl for nothing? ”

Where can Mrs. Qian believe this?

To say that the Zeng family had no money in the past, it is true, but recently, I don't know what kind of wealth they have made, and they even bought a carriage, and if they don't have money, they are all fools for others?

However, although the Zeng family is kind, this Da Lang is a capable person, and he has seen the world through business, where can she be fooled? Seeing that he had said it to death, he didn't dare to bargain anymore, so he hurriedly responded: "Look at what you said, twenty times is not a lot." ”

Zeng Ziye didn't bother to talk nonsense with her, and when he saw that she agreed, he took her directly to the tooth shop to re-establish the deed, and went to the official mansion to get a file.

Mrs. Qian got twenty yuan of money, and in a panic, she took the four Jiaozi into her arms, as if she was smashed by the gold leaf that fell from the sky, and laughed all the way home humming a little song.

Zeng Ziye finished his work, collected Ah Lan's deed of sale, and went to visit the county magistrate by the way, and then returned home.

Seeing the deed of sale, Ah Lan hung his heart for many days before he really let go. Choked up and thanked the old lady, and Banniang and the others also congratulated her on finally being at ease, but Liuniang laughed out loud on the side: "Look at the appearance of you girls, people have become slaves since then, what is there to congratulate." ”

Ah Lan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said with a smile: "It's better to be happy to be a slave than to be a slave every day." ”

Banniang saw that she couldn't wipe away her tears, so she handed her her embroidered handkerchief and said, "What kind of maid and maid, you just have to be the same as before." We're not used to you. ”

After everyone said a few words, they discussed the words of the old lady and the six mothers and the four and five brothers returning to Linchuan. Zhu asked Wu: "Are all the things that your grandmother brought to Linchuan ready?" ”

Wu hurriedly replied: "I have packed up for the past two days, and I am all ready." But mother, your question, the daughter-in-law has no bottom in her heart, I'll take a look at it again. ”

He left everyone behind and went to the old lady Wei Yuan's residence to check.

The old lady smiled: "This child, who usually looks stable and capable, is as frizzy as the little eighth sister." ”

Banniang said angrily: "Grandmother is really, when she says sister-in-law, she says sister-in-law, and she prefers me as a son." ”

Zhu glared at her: "You talk to your grandmother like this?" ”

The old lady just laughed.

Zhu Shi said again: "Her sister-in-law is not usually like this, isn't she afraid that the things she prepared for you are not thorough?" ”

Because Ah Lan was going to Linchuan with the old lady the next day, Banniang asked her to stay with her for one night, Qi Niang talked to Liu Niang over there, and Banniang taught Shi Niang to memorize the multiplication formula she wrote, and at the same time instructed Ah Lan to record the old lady as her grandmother in the future.

Alan smiled and said he knew.

As he was talking, listening to Xiao Shi recite the mantra, Ah Lan was curious: "What is this?" ”

On a whim, Banniang explained it to her in detail, and Alan said: "There is still such a formula? It's a coincidence that I used to settle accounts in the shop, and it was the same reason. ”
