Chapter Ninety-Five: Little Overlord Quwen
After six or seven busy days, the new house is finally decent, and there is only so much he can do, Mai Xiaohuan carefully inspected the house from the inside out, and put the key back into his arms.
Mai Yonghe opened his mouth several times to beg for the key, and every time Chen Hanting saw him, he said that the current residence was too shabby, and since the house was cleaned up, why not move in!
I'm stupid, I can't coax people, I can't comfort people, and I was recognized by the number of people. But Qiu Niang was reprimanded by herself, and it was very distressing to watch, she secretly cried several times behind her back. If only my sister understood the situation of herself and Qiu Niang, it would be good to hand over the key now.
On the way back to Shaxi Village in a carriage, a few people accidentally ran into someone from the Tang family, could it be that they came to pull wild peppers again?
Tang Yujun jumped out of the car and asked, "Where have you been?" When I arrived in the village, I saw that the door of my house was locked, and I asked the neighbors, but they only said that they seemed to have come to the county seat, so didn't I chase after them? ”
"What are you doing! Is it almost fifteen? "How did the days pass so quickly, Mai Xiaofang is afraid that after she and her sister leave, the eldest brother and Chen Qiuniang will come up with some ideas to toss their parents, if only they could wait for the eldest brother to get married and then go back!
Is this girl busy and dizzy? It's the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, and won't it be fifteen in two days?
Back at Mai's house, Tang Yujun told Mai Xiaohuan that Qu Hao was going to the capital to participate in the Spring Festival after the fifteenth, and he didn't let himself tell Xiaohuan about it, and wanted his godsister to accompany his family for a reunion festival.
Ah! How could I forget such an important thing! Thinking that there was nothing he could help with at home, Mai Xiaohuan proposed to his father that he wanted to pack up his things and go back to Qingcheng County today.
The two children came back for the New Year, not to mention the money and efforts, and their eldest brother didn't even say a word of thanks. Let's go back! The county guard is as kind to Xiao Huan as a mountain, and Qu Gongzi thinks about her everywhere, so he should send it to others.
Mai Xiaofang was responsible for going back to the house to pack up her things, Mai Xiaohuan asked Tang Yujun to pester the eldest brother to walk the rabbit sleeve, she found an opportunity for no one, pulled the second brother Mai Yonghai to the house prepared for the eldest sister at home, and took out four silver ingots weighing five taels from her arms.
"Second brother, you take this, but remember that no matter what the eldest brother says, you can't take it out, this is reserved for emergency use at home, unless it is a last resort, don't let your father and mother know."
Mai Yonghai nodded in agreement, or my sister is determined and has an idea, if the eldest brother and Chen Qiuniang knew that she still had silver, they would definitely come up with a new idea to get it away.
Mai Xiaohuan also took out the key to the second brother, telling him not to hand over the key to his mother until the day before he got married, he had a way to make the eldest brother believe that the key was not left at home, so as to save him from using this reason to make trouble.
"Second brother, when I come back, it is estimated that there will be nothing of value at home, and you don't have to worry about these things with them. Give my sister two years, I will definitely make a big difference in the life of the family, and then we will stay away from grandma and eldest brother, and we will no longer have to be so aggrieved. ”
What does my sister think! How can I fight with my eldest brother for things! Don't say that she has her advice, even if she doesn't say anything, she has hands and feet, and she doesn't have anything to eat.
Mai Xiaofang put the well-taken package on the carriage that Qu Hao gave to her sister, she was also afraid of her eldest brother's idea of beating this car, and the most valuable thing in the family now was it.
It is always difficult for the eldest brother to marry a daughter-in-law to pick them up in an ox cart, and when he leaves, he will tell them that there are some things that cannot be given away.
Shan Cuihua took out a small bag of things from the house, and at this time the people who went up the mountain also returned, and today they finally caught a wild boar, and it was not small.
Mai Yonghe wanted to propose to sell it, so wouldn't he have the money for the banquet?
Unexpectedly, my father's and mother's attitudes were surprisingly consistent today, saying that this wild boar could not be sold, and it should be given to the county guard and the Tang family.
instructed the master to tie up the wild boar, and Shan Cuihua handed the cloth bag in her hand to Mai Xiaohuan in front of the whole family: "This is given to your sisters by Mrs. County Shou and the Tang family, you can collect it yourself!" ”
With so many people present, Mai Yonghe thought that his sisters would not shirk it, and he followed their words, maybe the things would not be taken away, and Qiu Niang would not worry about having no jewelry to wear on the day of marriage.
Na Cheng thought that Mai Xiaofang only nodded and put the things into his package, without any intention of being humble.
"You ......" is too disagreeable, there is almost no money at home, these two sisters are too ignorant, even if they take out one and sell it, their parents and themselves don't have to worry!
Mai Xiaohuan really doesn't like to take care of her eldest brother, she pointed to the carriage and said, "This carriage is left for the eldest brother to use to pick up the new daughter-in-law on the day he gets married!" This was given to me by Brother Qu, and I hope to see it in this courtyard the next time I come back. If it's gone, don't blame me for going to the county magistrate to report the case, saying that someone stole something from the county guard.
Also, I took the key first, and someone will send it back the day before you get married. Mai Xiaohuan shook the key wrapped in a handkerchief, revealing only a small corner for her family to see.
As soon as he heard this, Mai Yonghe really quit, why! When she was at home, she couldn't see it, and she couldn't touch the key. This person is gone, and he still wants to take the key away, which is too domineering, even if she earns the house money, she can't be so ignorant of the rules!
Look at how good Qiu Niang is to her younger brother, not to mention the meticulous and thoughtful care in life, and the Chen family also listens to her younger brother, even if she is wronged, even if she is complained, she has never said a word.
"There were guests here, I don't want to say anything, Xiao Huan, don't go too far, it's okay for people to go, the key must be left."
"Big brother, I left the key today, I'm afraid Chen Qiuniang's sister and brother will live in a new house tomorrow! That's because the family has spent all the money for you to get married, how can a woman live in the man's house before she gets married. If your mother doesn't give you the key, you will definitely have to play a bitter trick again, if your mother gives you the key, what will the people in Shaxi Village say about our family, and how can you let your father and mother get out of this door. ”
Mai Yonghe, whose face was flushed, clenched his fists and glared at his sister angrily, why didn't he find out that she was so able to speak and be so annoying!
She is getting married in less than a month, can she come back in time? Mai Yonghe felt that she had been deceived by her sister, she didn't want to marry Qiu Niang at all, and she went around in a big circle, which was a trap she set.
Tang Yujun stretched out his hand towards Mai Xiaohuan: "Put the key here for me, and I'll send it over when your eldest brother gets married." ”
Mai Xiaofang, who doesn't know the truth, also agreed, the Tang family and her sister partner in business, and it is normal for the eldest brother to marry and they come with them, and it also saves the mother and the eldest brother from being idle, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.
Looking at Mai Xiaofang, who was smiling like a flower, Tang Yujun and Mai Xiaohuan said in their hearts at the same time: "Silly girl".
The three of them hurried all the way in a carriage, and after the sky was completely dark, they finally arrived at the Zhuangzi of Uncle Tang Yujun's house. After a quick meal, a few people who were bumped by the car washed their faces and fell asleep.
After another day's journey, when the dusk sunset was about to set on the mountain, the tall and heavy city gate of Qingcheng County came into view again.
Before parting, Mai Xiaohuan asked Tang Yujun to take the wild boar home, and after packing it up, he just sent it to the county guard mansion for half.
"Wait, don't forget to leave me a piece of meat and a leg of pig." There's another one in Yifeng Garden! For the sake of him being good to himself this time, go back and comfort him.
The two sisters washed off the dust and came out of the room, and Mai Xiaohuan felt that her arm was clamped, which startled her.
"I heard that you guys are back, but I came to welcome you as soon as possible, how about it!"
When did the little fat man come back, and why did he hold himself up! After this year, you will be ten years old, okay? Although she has grown a little smaller and thinner, she is also a fake little girl!
Qu Wen pulled Mai Xiaohuan and walked in the direction of the kitchen.
"It's the other way around, the living room is on the other side!" Mai Xiaofang kindly reminded Qu Wen.
Is the goal of the kitchen good? You're mistaken: "Then let's not rush to the kitchen first!" It will take a while for the ingredients I want to be delivered, and I want to kowtow to my stepfather and mother first, and say goodbye to my old age. ”
"There is nothing lacking in our kitchen, and you don't look at who is at home, if those cooks dare to snub their son, then wait to roll up the covers and get out! Hey! Do you seem to be waiting for something, and something fresh that I haven't seen before? ”
Mak Xiaofang asked him if he had ever seen a live wild boar? Have you ever seen a wild boar killed?
The meat has been eaten, and the live wild boar Quwen said that he has not seen it.
There is now in the courtyard of the Tang family! Mai Xiaofang also described to him what it was like to kill the pig, which aroused Qu Wen's curiosity, and he ordered his subordinates to prepare the car, while holding a person's wrist, despite the sisters' objections, and dragged them to the gate.
"What are you going to do, it's going to be dark outside." The Lin family really didn't worry about the frizzy little son, so they sent the steady Qu Hao over to see a few people.
Seeing the three people pulling and pulling, Qu Hao smiled angrily, these people, one is a twelve-year-old girl, and the two are already ten and a half years old. There is no taboo at all, it is really simpler than the other.
Qu Wen is not afraid of his eldest brother, he did not stop, turned his head and explained: "We are going to the Tang family to watch the killing of wild boars, you can follow if you want to go, don't get in the way if you don't want to go?" ”
"I don't want to go." What's so nice about killing pigs, whoever makes the second sister talk more, it's good for her to accompany her alone.
Mai Xiaofang also shook her head, for some reason, she always felt that Tang Yujun's mother's eyes were very strange when she looked at her, and it was awkward to stay with her, so she told herself that the Tang family could go less, as little as possible.
In front of Qu Wen, their opposition was ineffective, and the struggle was futile, and in the end, Qu Hao was really worried that they also boarded the carriage.
