Cai Qirong came out of his son's room and saw Cai Zijun at a glance.

"Where's the picture you draw?"

"It's ready to be drawn for the third brother."

"Painted? Why don't you show me first, he can understand your dog-planing horizontal drawing? ”

Cai Zijun glanced at him lightly, "The third brother took the pattern, the eldest brother wants to see himself, go to the third brother to see it, I still have to hurry up and read the medical book." ”

After speaking, he didn't continue to pay attention to Cai Qirong, turned around and walked to the room, he was proud that he was a scholar, and he looked down on her as a young sister, and she didn't need to give him a good look.

"You ......"

Cai Qirong's face turned blue, although Cai Hua was stupid and lazy before, she was still afraid of this Xiucai big brother in her heart, she knew that she could run rampant in Peach Blossom Village, first, because her father and mother had no bottom line, and secondly, because this Xiucai big brother had a certain weight in the village.

In Dongling Kingdom, Xiucai can't be an official, but he can sit in the hall and be a master to get a monthly silver, or run a private school by himself to collect a few students to get the filial piety of the New Year's Festival, the income is indispensable, and the most important thing is that Xiucai is famous, and the family can be exempted from field tax.

The national policy of Dongling State is to exempt 200 acres of land tax and 10 people to be served; Xiucai is exempt from 60 acres of land tax, and three people are served.

The Cai family only has ten acres of paddy fields, and the remaining fifty acres can be hung on the villagers' paddy fields, in addition to the twenty acres of the Li Zheng family, there is a surplus of thirty acres.

Cai Qirong didn't expect that Cai Hua'er, who was not afraid of the sky and the earth in the past, and was still a little afraid of him, woke up after falling into the water, although she had changed a little, became smarter, more diligent, and knew more about her family, but she didn't take him as a big brother in her eyes, and made him faceless several times, which was really unexpected by him.

Cai Qirong was angry again, and there was no way to take Cai Zijun, he dared to scold and ensure that his father and mother turned over the old account a few days ago again, and forced him to send Tian and his daughter back to Tian's house.

After thinking about it, he walked up to find Cai Qifu, and in the room where the miscellaneous items were placed, Cai Qifu was squatting on the ground facing the pattern, thinking about how to make the strange chair that was half-lying and half-sitting like a snail shell.

Hearing footsteps, he raised his head, "Big brother, why are you here?" ”

"What about the pattern drawn by my sister? Can you read it? ”

"I can understand it, but it's too delicate, and I have to think about it before I can do it." Cai Qifu's mind was still pondering the chair, and he casually replied to Cai Qirong.

Cha Qirong bent down and picked up the pattern on the stool, he came with a sense of contempt, but after picking up the drawing, he was taken aback, and said in surprise: "This is drawn by my sister?" ”

"yes, she just gave it to me herself. Who else could have painted it if she hadn't drawn it? ”

Cai Qirong suddenly became a little embarrassed, because he asked himself, he couldn't draw such drawings and such samples.

It seemed that he couldn't help much, and in his heart, he was surprised and uncomfortable, he put down the pattern in his hand and left, he ...... Did he underestimate his sister?

Why did my sister change so much after falling into the water?

He had never seen the way he drew with charcoal strips, and where did she see it, and where did she learn it?

If it weren't for her still being chubby, Hei Youyou's appearance, he would have thought that she wasn't his younger sister Cai Hua'er!

This incident planted the seeds of doubt in Cai Qirong's heart.

Early the next morning, Cai Zijun got up, and she wanted to follow Cai Langzhong up the mountain to collect medicine.

After putting on his clothes, Cai Zijun opened the door and looked at the sky, and the sky was just beginning to be white.

The door next door also opened, and it was Lee.

"Flowers, why did you get up so early? I read and read so late last night, and I didn't know how much sleep I had in the morning. Li said angrily.

Reading with an oil lamp, seeing that it is late, it is also a luxury treatment that only a few scholars and Cai Zijun in the family can enjoy, if it were someone else, the Li family would have been scolded a long time ago.

The family doesn't even have the money to buy New Year's goods now, last night, the meals at home have begun to shrink, Cai Zijun's bowl, a completely large bowl of white rice in the past has become a sweet potato rice with a few slices of sweet potatoes, not to mention others, there are more sweet potatoes and less rice.

"Mother, I have to follow Master up the mountain to collect medicinal herbs today, it can't be too late." After Cai Zijun finished speaking, he went to get his willow branch, tore it open and dipped it in salt, and began to brush his teeth and wash his face.

Even the girl got up early, and the other three people hadn't moved yet, so it was okay, and Li's big voice roared again, "One or two lazy people don't steal cattle, what will happen to the corpse?" Why don't you get up for your mother in a hurry? Why do you want the old lady to wait for you? Ah......h

This roar from the east of the river resounded throughout the east of the village, frightening the people in several rooms, and quickly got up one by one and put on their clothes.

Cai Zijun: "......"

The majesty of the old lady's "shrew" is really not covered, and everyone is afraid of it.

The fastest hand and foot is the Hu family in the third room, because today it is her turn to do housework and cook.

According to Li's temper, the big house has to do housework alone for a long time to make her angry, but she doesn't want the incident of the third room to happen, Cai Qirong discussed with her, saying that the third room has lost the family's hard-earned money, and they don't do any work, and their big house and second room are too much to lose.

Li and Cai Dazhu thought that the silver was indeed earned by him, and they exempted the family from field tax, and opened the net, so that the third room would work in turns from today.

The big room and the third room began to take turns, and it didn't make sense to leave the second room alone, so it simply went back to the past, and the third room took turns to do housework.

Looking at Hu Shi who hurriedly ran into the kitchen, Cai Zijun's hand paused, stared at her back, fell into deep thought, and after a while, he spit out the water in his mouth.

Although the power of the family is not in the hands of the big house for the time being, but the person who makes money is in the big house, no matter how strong the father and mother are, in the current situation, they have to compromise with the big house.

No wonder my father and mother were hit with a serious illness that day, if it was in the past, so much money and dowry were in the hands of my father, and Tian's mother and daughter were punished, and they could only suffer obediently, how dare they go to their father and mother to intercede?

With the mother's temperament, they will not be allowed to intercede, you know, they cursed her heart to death, now, my father's heart must be panicked, and I have to eat Huanglian dumbly, I can't speak.

Cai Zijun secretly decided that when she earned some silver, she would hold it in her father's hand, so that their waists would be hard and straight again, the four elder brothers, which one was filial to her father and mother, and was good to her, she would help whoever she wanted, and who dared to be bad to her father, I'm sorry, she would help her father and mother to suppress him together, and for her father's love for the original owner, no, now she is spoiling herself, and there is no reason to let her father and mother be wronged.
