043 Just your word
A heat wave hit with the wind, and Wan Chaoyun's small body shook, it was too hot! Living by the river can't stop the heat.
Wan Chaoyan looked at his cousin distressedly, "You go into the house, so as not to get sunburned later." ”
"If you don't say it, I won't go in, won't you also kneel?" Wan Chaoyun learned from him to cheat.
Wan Chaoyan: "......"
The brother and sister confronted each other for a moment, and the sweat of the bean was like rain flowing out of the thick hair roots of the two, cutting across the cheeks, and some soaked into the eyes, which was hot and uncomfortable.
"Brother, I have great ambitions, but your eldest uncle has done something wrong, even if he is more talented than the prince in this life, it is impossible for the court to reuse me, I can see through the career at a glance, why should I struggle on this road? I'm a practical person, I don't want to be unknown for the rest of my life, although Wuweiju is just a rice seller, what kind of ability can I sell rice to all Daxing? So, I'm going to the capital, I'm going to learn this ability! ”
Wan Chaoyun looked at the emaciated and dark fourth brother in front of him in a daze, he didn't expect to see it so thoroughly at a young age, no wonder Song Tihe liked him, "As long as you don't run away from marriage, fourth brother, you promise me a condition, and I will help you convince my father." ”
Voluntary and coercive, she is naturally more inclined to volunteer.
"Really? What conditions? Wan Chaoyan was overjoyed, grabbed his cousin's arm violently, and said excitedly: "As long as you can convince the fifth uncle, I will promise you anything!" ”
"It's not a particularly difficult condition, even after going to the capital, don't divulge my secrets, and Brother Rong can't say it."
"What's the secret? I promise not to say. Wan Chaoyan raised his hand and began to swear, "If you say, let me not die a good death." ”
"As for what the secret is, you will know when you go to the capital." Wan Chaoyun smiled mysteriously, looking at the sky, her father was afraid that it would take two hours to come back, she turned around and instructed Liu Mei: "Give the fourth brother an umbrella." ”
This will Wan Chaoyan did not refuse, he was also so hot at this time that he wanted to faint.
Wan Chaoyun went to the kitchen first and rummaged through it, the dried hawthorn that Aunt Cui brought last time was still there, and it had not been moved, and the mulberry river had grown a lot, and there were licorice and tangerine peel, only osmanthus, rock sugar and black plum were missing.
I don't know where to find osmanthus now, rock sugar is temporarily replaced with jaber, and black plum can be picked freshly.
"Mama Zhou, I want to eat black plums, you go to Uncle Erzhu's house to pick a few for me, let's not take their black plums for nothing, you bring some rice to exchange." Wan Chaoyun said, after thinking about it, he added, "Let's see if there are osmanthus flowers and rock sugar, by the way, and roselle." ”
Wen was making clothes in the house, and a slight smile appeared on his face when he heard this, although he lost some money by exchanging rice for black plums, he was not in the habit of taking other people's things in vain.
"Hey." Mama Zhou has long been used to it, and her girl refuses to take advantage of others.
Erzhu's house was in the middle of the village, and Mama Zhou came back after a while, holding two bright red roselles in her hands.
She put down the basket and took things from the basket one after another, "Girl, the osmanthus is from Chunni's family, their family used to send osmanthus to the shops in the city, but recently, I don't know why, Qingzhou doesn't accept it, I heard that you want it, and gave a big bag." ”
It must be that the osmanthus cake is unsalable, so I didn't accept it, but fortunately I didn't accept it again, "I'll send some rice to Sister Chunni later, is there any rock candy?" ”
"Nope." Mama Zhou wants to say that the food is just full, where is there such a precious thing as rock candy?
Wan Chaoyun didn't have to ask for rock candy, and beckoned Liu Mei to come over, "Wash all these, Mama Zhou, you make a fire for me to wash the pot first, and then go to Sister Chunni's house." ”
"Hey." Mama Zhou no longer asks 'what are you going to do, girl', because she has long been accustomed to it, her girl, said that she was studying, but in fact, she rarely missed, she didn't know why, she didn't dare to ask, let alone tell outsiders, because no one believed it.
The sun began to turn west, and the small thatched hut by the river fell in the shadow of the mountain, and whenever this time was when Wan Che was about to come back from school, Wan Chaoyun packed the boiled sour plum soup and put it in the sweet spring in Houtian to cool.
"Fifth aunt, fifth aunt, are you there?" Wan Chaohong's cautious voice came from outside.
"Yo, it's the third prince and the third young lady, the third son, the third young lady, please come in." Mama Zhou came out of the kitchen and immediately invited the two into the hospital.
The husband and wife saw Wan Chaoyan kneeling in the courtyard, glanced at each other, and Wan Chaohong said, "Fourth brother, what are you kneeling here?" ”
"I don't have to worry about what the third brother does." Wan Chaoyan closed his eyes and didn't look at his brother, as if there was some kind of estrangement between the two brothers.
Mama Zhou didn't dare to look at it more, she went into the house to wait for Wen's to freshen up.
Wan Chaoyun put the sour plum soup and ran out, and his eyes were red when he saw the two enemies meeting.
"Xiao Chaoyun, where is your mother?" Wan Chaohong sat down on the stool in the courtyard, and swept the small courtyard built with thatch in disgust, the fence wall was crawled with morning glory, several pots of orchids were planted in the corner, and the canal was brought from the back of the house, and the artistic conception was poetic and picturesque, but the thatched house was a thatched house after all, and it could not be on the table.
The husband and wife glanced at each other again, the fifth uncle is not rich, and being the stepson of the fifth room is definitely not as good as the third and fourth rooms, and suddenly, the husband and wife had some contempt on their faces.
Who hasn't seen Wan Chaoyun? What Wan Chaohong and his wife were thinking, she could see it when she took a look.
"The third brother and third sister-in-law have something to do with my mother?" She is neither salty nor indifferent, and her attitude is extremely poor.
"What do you kid know? I'll talk about it when your father and mother come. As he spoke, he lifted the teapot on the cedar table, the teacup knocked on the teatray, and the teapot was empty, "I remember that the fifth uncle loves to drink tea, why is this teapot empty?" Sixth sister, don't you have an old mother and a girl at home? ”
"I still have an uncle at home, what's the matter? The third brother thinks that my family has few people, so he plans to give me two? Wan Chaoyun also sat down, without the slightest intention of letting Liu Mei make tea.
After the family was separated, the old lady released the family of Mama Xiang who had signed the death deed, and the subordinates who were assigned to other houses, as long as they signed the death deed, were not let go, even if they were hungry, they starved to death in ten thousand homes.
There are also subordinates who signed the death deed in the fifth room, such as Wan Gui and his wife, as well as Wan Chaoyun's former grandmother, but they were driven away by Wan Che.
"How many people do you need to serve your little girl? If you don't study well at a young age, Sister Qing is a few years younger than you, and you know that you have to learn to be a female worker. ”
Wan Chaoyun wasn't angry, just looked at him like a pen, "Sister Qing is so smart, she can be a female worker at the age of two, it's amazing." ”
"That's, it's not the three blows, Sister Qing is the smartest girl in our family." Wan Chaohong thought that his cousin's words were good words.
The Yue family on the side saw that her husband Jun was more and more outrageous, and he was busy pulling the corners of his clothes to stop him, but Wan Chaohong bragged and bragged, where was he willing to stop, he cut his wife's hand, "When Sister Qing is older, the third brother will teach her to read and learn calligraphy, and ensure that she is a talented girl who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." ”
Starting from Wan Chaohong's sentence 'Don't learn well at a young age', Wan Che couldn't listen to it anymore when he heard it now, he walked in with his feet up, and said coldly: "Just your chicken-claw-like words, I don't know the so-called chess skills, can you teach talented girls?" ”
