As soon as Banniang heard this, she instigated Liuniang: "Sixth sister, Aunt Huang is so busy, why don't I go out with you to buy vegetables?" ”

Because she returned to Nanfeng's old house on New Year's Day and lived at home for nearly a month, the sixth sister watched how the family took care of this little sister, where did she dare to take her to the street? only said: "This is not good, there is still a way from the vegetable market, I dare not ask you to go more, and besides, you didn't sleep well last night, and you have been walking for two days, if something happens to you, how can I explain to my father and mother?" ”

Banniang patted her little flat chest and said with a smile: "Sixth sister, do you look at my lively appearance, do you seem to have something?" I've been in good health for a long time, didn't my grandmother compliment me on how rosy I have been last night? When I was at home at Nan Fung, I still got up every morning to exercise. What are you afraid of when you walk? A few days ago, I went to the countryside with my fourth brother and fifth brother to play all day, but I left and it was fine. I just want to go out and see Linchuan City, what is different from our Nanfeng. Will you promise me? ”

Her voice was clear and crisp, and with a soft begging, a small face was full of expectation, the former Banniang was not like this, there were few words, Liuniang listened softly, and because she usually got along with her sisters less, that is, when Banniang was seriously ill, she was mostly taken care of by Qiniang, she was in Linchuan, and her grandmother really couldn't leave, although she was very worried in her heart, but she didn't even go home to visit, she was a little sorry for Banniang, where was she willing to refuse again? I had to smile and say, "Okay, don't stick to me, go back to the house and talk to my grandmother, and I'll take you out." ”

knows that the sixth sister's temperament is to eat soft rather than hard, Banniang snickered, pretending that Luo Li was really easy to do. stepped forward and took Liuniang's hand, and called sweetly: "Sixth sister." ”

Liu Niang was so angry and angry, she pinched her delicate little nose, and then went to talk back to her grandmother, and went to the house to take 200 yuan and put it up, and took Banniang to the street.

In the house, the Huang family and Zeng Budo were talking: "Since you have come to Linchuan, you should always go to the Wang family to pay a visit." The eldest son of the Wang family, the elder brother of our family's seventh son-in-law, is the child of Jiefu who won the Jinshi last year, and is now serving as a judge in Huainan. The mother-in-law of the seventh sister is also filial, she often comes to see me and doesn't say anything, and she often sends some things over, didn't you bring something this time? Just pick the good one and send some over. ”

Zeng didn't doubt that it should be, so he planned to write a post first and ask someone to send it to the palace. Thinking about Shiro saying that he and the professor in the Wulang State School wanted to see him, he simply wrote a post and wanted to visit him, and then, Liu Zhizhou of the state ya, was also kind to his own family, and Erlangzi was not less to take care of it back then, and he should go to visit it, so he told the old lady that he didn't mention it.

Huang also listened to Zeng Budo talk about the recent situation in the family, the old man was very relieved, she is old, for an old man, there is nothing more important than the prosperity and happiness of the family, now there is no longer any worry about eating and working, there is no longer anything to worry about. Thinking about next year's spring, I should ask a few children to go to Beijing to try, so I also went to the study, and while reading Zeng Budo's writing, I talked about the entry of Dalang Erlang and several people into Beijing.

Zeng Budo quickly wrote a prayer post, and helped the old lady to sit in the main room and talk: "...... Mother rest assured, Da Lang and Erlang have already decided to go, Shiro and Goro, I still have to ask them what the professor means, their mothers are also preparing clothes for the four seasons and entangled, but the son thinks again, next spring and April, it will be his mother's ninetieth birthday, if these children can't come back, won't it be delayed? ”

Huang interrupted him: "Look at what you are saying as a father, is my birthday important, or is the future of my children important?" Your grandfather's generation, it was still a troubled era, so I won't mention it, your father's generation, our family is a seven-jinshi, your father is an official to the Shangshu Rites Department and the Ministry of Officials, to your generation, several brothers, in addition to the deceased San Lang, is also a six-jinshi, but the grandchildren's, I haven't waited for them to come out, these children, I know, Da Lang Erlang will not say, it is Shilang Wulang, out of the door of our Zeng family, which one is not boastful? There are also two children, Xiao Jiu and Jue'er, I look good. You are a father, no matter how difficult it is, don't miss your children's schooling. The matter of entering Beijing to take the exam, no matter what, cannot be delayed. How many years do I have left to live? I must be able to see how many of our grandchildren are born in my lifetime, right? Otherwise, how can I explain to your father in the future? There is also your third brother's Fulang, I also sent a letter to your third brother before, asking him to send Fu'er back, and go to Beijing with Erlang and them in the autumn. ”

Zeng Budo was drenched in cold sweat by the old lady's call, and said busily: "Mother, don't be angry, it's the son who is not thoughtful." It's just that the mother's birthday can't be delayed, and when the children finish the exam, they will be asked to come back quickly, and they will definitely be able to catch up. At that time, if there is one, it will be the best birthday gift for the mother. ”

Huang smiled and nodded: "This is the right reason." ”

Speaking of Wang Jiefu, the eldest son of the Wang family who is now serving as a judge in Huainan, Huang said: "That child is arrogant and stubborn, but he has great ambitions, Erlang is good friends with him, and he is not bad, his mother is my own granddaughter, he is also my great-grandchild, and Qi Niang will be the daughter-in-law of the Wang family in the future, according to which I should not say some things, but there is always a relative who is distant and close ......."

Zeng Budo listened to it, while holding the tea and handing it over, the old lady also took a sip, and then continued: "Jiefu, that kid is a bit really talented, but if you talk about it, I have lived for decades and experienced some things, and that kid is in the officialdom, I am only afraid of ...... If you have nothing to do, you can also talk to Erlang, our two families are always related to each other, and we can't get rid of it, but if Erlang also enters the officialdom in the future, there is no need to get too close to Jiefu's child. Speaking of which, you are also an upright, you don't understand those twists and turns, otherwise you wouldn't be idle at home now, you are my son, I still don't know? If it were not for that, I would not have told you these words in vain today. ”

Zeng didn't doubt how dare not, nodded and said, "My son is ashamed." ”

But I thought in my heart that with Erlang's appreciation and respect for Wang Jiefu, I wanted him to only talk about Jiefu's child in general, but I was afraid that it would not work.

A few days ago, he also wrote a letter to his teacher, Uncle Yong, recommending Jiefu. Besides, Jiefu's child, who is only twenty-two years old now, is two years younger than Erlang, not only won the Jinshi, but also did the official work of the Jiedu Judge's Office, and the future is afraid that the future is unlimited, but the words of the old mother are always difficult to refute, so they should say yes.

You may not know what position the official affairs of the Jiedu Judge Official Hall is, if according to the officialdom of Banniang's previous life, it is equivalent to the secretary general of the municipal party committee office of a prefecture-level city. At the age of twenty-two, it is really not easy to achieve this position.

Huang waved his hand: "Don't take my words to heart, think about it." ”

As he spoke, he went out of the study, and Zeng Budo hurriedly got up to see her off, but was stopped by her: "You are busy with yours, I'll go around the yard." When you are old, if you don't go away after eating, it will be uncomfortable to accumulate food. ”

But it was said that Banniang and Liuniang went to the street, looked around, and were curious. Liuniang was very funny when she looked at her: "Little Eighth Sister, you have been sick for more than half a year, is it difficult to come out?" ”

Banniang was about to answer, but saw Song Sanniang staring at her in front of her, as if she was going to eat people, but this time she was not alone, and there was a pretty little maid behind her. Banniang didn't mind her staring at herself, the Song family seemed to be definitely not poor even if it wasn't a rich family. What's more, it is an old acquaintance with Chai Nineteen, Song Sanniang is also called Chai Nineteen Brother, Chai Nineteen is a nobleman of the clan, so the Song family is not an ordinary family, so it is strange why when she and Mrs. Song went out that day, there was no one by her side.

And now this Song Sanniang's style really doesn't look like a royal nobleman.

Liuniang saw Banniang looking ahead, so she followed her gaze, although the woman in front of her was beautiful, but a pair of eyes looked at Banniang without any kindness, and she was shocked, so she hid Banniang behind her, bypassed Song Sanniang, and asked in a low voice: "Eighth sister, ...... woman?"

Banniang said in a low voice: "The woman I met on the boat last time." ”

As soon as Liuniang heard it, she understood what was going on. I was afraid that if Song Sanniang looked for trouble on the street without regard for decency, it would be too ugly, so I planned to leave quickly with Banniang.

In fact, Banniang is not afraid, although Song Sanniang is a little petty, she is not a woman in the market, no matter how bad she is, she will just say a few sour words at most, and it is impossible to do anything to disgrace her own people on the street. Who knew that both sisters overestimated this girl. Before she had taken a few steps, Song Sanniang had already followed in three steps and two steps, stopped in front of Banniang and Liuniang and pointed at Banniang and said, "Hey, since you saw me, why didn't you even say hello?" Weak heart? ”

Heart...... False?

Banniang raised her eyebrows, and said in her heart, isn't this girl's brain broken? Why do I have to say hello when I see you? I asked with some doubts: "This lady, do I know you?" If I meet a woman on the street, I have a weak heart, how beautiful do I have to be to feel so sorry for others? This lady takes a closer look at me, where is it? ”

What she said was quite serious, Liuniang almost burst out laughing, pursed her lips, she couldn't help it, turned her head and waited for the silent laughter to finish, before turning her head again and watching how Song Sanniang reacted.

When Song Sanniang heard this, she immediately became angry: "Don't know? What are you pretending, yesterday on the boat, when you pulled my nineteenth brother to be obsessed, why didn't you say that you didn't know me? Don't look at how many pounds and taels you have, what kind of identity, are you worthy of associating with my nineteenth brother? ”

Liuniang is not such a soft person as Qiniang, seeing what she said ugly, she snorted coldly: "This lady, you should pay more attention to what you say, a little lady is a family, so you can say the word obsession?" Even if my eighth sister doesn't have a few pounds and a few taels, she won't talk about you on the street without face or skin, and your own brother is rare to go. Look at the appearance of the little lady, she was also born in a rich family, she has received a good upbringing, and she should know that a woman should be virtuous and virtuous, and you are so involved in my ten-year-old little sister who is talking nonsense on the street, you are not afraid that others will listen to it, and you will laugh at your parents for not teaching you well? My wife is eight or nine years older than my sister, right? How embarrassed are you to bully the small? ”
