(201)

Although Zhao Wang's mouth was a little nagging. But she still sincerely worked for Zhang Qingting, how to say that this daughter-in-law is not an outsider, her horse farm is also her own, if it is really ruined, she is also distressed.

took the job of looking for a dog, without saying a word, the next morning he went with Zhao Laoshi to clean up the crops in the field, and went around the township to inquire. Before going out, he deliberately explained to Liu, "Just watch at home, don't walk around!" ”

Liu responded, thinking that when she came back, he would be able to go to the alley again.

Unexpectedly, after Zhao Wang's came back with a sheepdog, he still didn't let her go out, "It's getting hotter this day, you boil some mung bean porridge at home and spread it, it's delicious at night." ”

Such a simple thing, Zhao Laoshi is also idle at home in the afternoon, can't he do it? Although Liu had this doubt in his heart, he was embarrassed to open his mouth, so he found an excuse. "Didn't I think I'd send the dog there? Under this great sun, lest thou be sunburned. ”

"No need!" Zhao Wang led the dog out by himself, "I just went over to take a look at them, your buds are still so small, and you are carrying them around, so I am afraid that she will suffer from heat stroke!" If you have time, make her a gown! I still have some leftover cloth from the previous store at home, you can cut two pieces. ”

Liu Shi wondered in his heart, when did this old man who slammed the door become generous? It's not that she didn't see the leftover fabrics from Zhang Qingting, just those bits and pieces of fabrics, Zhao Wang's family was not willing to give them to her, and they were all cut and leftover really useless corners to paste a few pairs of insoles for her, and she took them away.

Doesn't this seem to be her style today? Could it be that Xiucai confessed, let her treat her well? When Liu Shi thought about it, he was secretly happy in his heart. No matter how much the mother is willing to dress up her child, she happily went to pick two bright pieces of material to make clothes for the little girl.

After fooling her, Zhao Wangshi was proud and led the dog to the alley.

Let's go see Zhao Yulian first, it's hot in the afternoon, no one comes to the shop, quietly, the guys are all sitting on the bench and napping, and they greet her with a smile when they see her come in. Zhao Wang handed over the dog to them to watch, and when he got inside, he saw that his daughter was not sleeping. I am concentrating on embroidering a handkerchief with my head down.

Zhao Wangshi stood behind her and looked at it for a while, but she didn't notice it, but Zhao Wangshi couldn't help laughing, "Everyone embroiders butterflies and flowers, why do you embroider dragonflies and flowers?" ”

Zhao Yulian was startled, and when she raised her head, she saw that it was her mother who came, "Isn't this a birthday gift for my sister-in-law?" This is embroidered because of her name! Mother, do you look good? ”

"Beautiful! My little lotus has been ingenious since she was a child! Zhao Wang's affectionately touched the little girl's head, "What about Wang'er?" ”

Zhao Yulian raised her chin upstairs, "I'm taking a nap, I haven't woken up yet!" Call him again after a while, this is not sleepy and sleepy, and I can't sleep at night after sleeping too much. ”

"Is he feeling better lately?"

"Much better! I can recognize a few more words, and the addition and subtraction within twenty will basically be, but the multiplication and division are not clear, so take your time! Zhao Yulian had a smile on her face, afraid that her mother would be sad again, so she took the initiative to ask, "Do you have something to do today?" ”

Zhao Wang smiled, "Didn't your sister-in-law want to get her a dog, so I got it." I just have something for you! She was afraid that people would hear her, so she asked in her daughter's ear. You've all prepared things, what do you say should let your mother prepare? ”

Zhao Yulian chuckled, "What do you have to prepare?" Big brother just let us have fun! Where's the serious stuff? Mother, don't you get a dog? Isn't this the end of sending her? ”

Zhao Wang's mouth pouted, "How can there be a dog?" It's not a valuable thing, and it's a joke to say! I originally wanted to tear her clothes, but you also know your sister-in-law's strange temper, and I'm afraid that I won't be satisfied with spending money to buy her. You girl is the most empathetic, but she helps her mother to be a staff officer. However, it can't be expensive, and the mother can afford to have one or two taels of things in her hands at most. Thinking about it, it seemed that he was a little stingy again, and stretched out a slap, "Five taels at most!" ”

Zhao Yulian knew her mother's temperament, and she was willing to take out five taels of silver It was already very generous, "This gift is not light, but it's really hard to say what my sister-in-law wants." If you say it to the big one, of course, it would be best to give her a horse, but this is not realistic! ”

Zhao Wang's hands clapped, "Don't talk about that unrealistic!" Just say that your mother can afford it, by the way, and your second brother! What did you give? ”

Zhao Yulian came one by one, "Mingzhu is going to help my sister-in-law work for a day and let her rest for a day." Yuanbao Yinbao is ready to write a pair of pairs, and I asked Wang'er to write a longevity word. My sister said that she was impatient now and didn't want to use needlework, so she would make a few side dishes and snacks that my sister-in-law loved to eat. Fluttershy doesn't know how to embroider and plans to make a pair of shoes, but Kimble says she hasn't figured it out yet. According to me, the second brother might as well let him send something that his sister-in-law can use! ”

She thought for a moment. "Isn't it hot this day? There are also many mosquitoes, so it is better to let the second brother buy a pair of sachets and put two purple gold ingots to give to his sister-in-law, which can clear away the heat and relieve the heat. ”

As soon as Zhao Yulian mentioned something related to medicine, Zhao Wangshi suddenly remembered something, "I know what to send your sister-in-law!" ”

Zhao Yulian just wanted to inquire, but Zhao Wang's family sold Guan, "When you know!" ”

She led the dog to the front, and went with the others again. Zhao Yulan's belly is now high and bulging, and the children will move in it. After being pregnant for so long, her hatred for Sun Junliang gradually faded, but she felt more pity for her own child.

Zhao Chengcai had already planned, if Zhao Yulan wanted to keep this child, it wouldn't be. First, the Sun family has really broken a lot of money since the last incident, and now Sun Junliang is also gone, and the second elder of the Sun family is recuperating at home, and there is no spare energy to take care of the child. The second is that the child needs to breastfeed under the pretext that he is young, and he can't leave his mother, and he will talk about it for five years. Even this child must inform his family, and his surname Sun cannot be changed.

Zhao Yulan didn't mind, "Then Sun Dasheng is still surnamed Sun, and not all people with the surname Sun are bad people!" I'm looking forward to being a girl, and maybe their family won't come to ask for it. ”

This is also everyone's wish, and they are all looking forward to being a daughter. Comparatively speaking, there are more opportunities to stay.

Zhao Wangshi carefully told her to take care of her life, and thought about preparing some things for her to use for the child, and when she saw that it was not early, she was ready to go back.

Zhao Yulan suddenly asked, "Why didn't Sister-in-law Liu come today?" ”

Zhao Wang's family didn't have so many scruples when he spoke here, "Your eldest brother is going to send her away!" Don't let her come and walk around. ”

So why? Zhao Yulan was very surprised.

Zhao Wang said, "She is a widow's family, and she is so young, it is always a little inconvenient to stay in our family." ”

Zhao Yulan has something to hurt her. Take pity on her, "Can't you keep her?" ”

Zhao Wang sighed, "This is the pain of being a woman, if the person is good, it is easy to say, if it is not good, it is not easy to make a living if you are living outside like this." But our family didn't treat her badly, your brother said that when she left, he would send her money! Do not say this to her, lest she have other thoughts. ”

Although Zhao Yulan couldn't bear it, she also wrote it down honestly.

There was nothing to say here, but Liu gradually noticed that something was wrong over there, the child's clothes were cut simply, but it took half a day to make it, but for a few days, Zhao Wang's family used various excuses to stay at home and not let her out, so something was wrong. She felt like she was holding back a stuffy gourd, and she didn't dare to ask in a hurry, so she had to wait for the opportunity.

In the academy, except for the incident of a dead cat that day, the next few days were much calmer, and even Zhang Qingting's horse farm did not find any suspicious incidents for the time being.

Zhao Chengcai thought that he would leave home in a few days, so he thought about going to Meng Zhan to ask about the family's affairs. But I was worried that this new adult was very thoughtful, and I was afraid that one would not be good, and it would make him suspicious, and he would be suspected of being a sycophant. Maybe he has the credit for the peace these days, and he will inevitably do it again, wandering at home, and a little entangled.

Zhang Qingting thought for a while, "It shouldn't matter if you go, in fact, these dignitaries are also people, and they are just like ordinary people, they like to be flattered when they do good things, and they don't want people to mention them when they do wrong things." It's just that I have more ideas, and I don't like people to do anything. The affairs of our family are well known to everyone, and it is normal for you to go there. Just say a few words, please. As the parent official of the county, he may not be able to. ”

Zhao Chengcai felt very reasonable when he heard it, "Then I'll wait for tomorrow afternoon, and I'll go for a trip in the bright light, and I won't bring it, just say a few words so innocently, it may be better." ”

Zhang Qingting smiled suddenly, "Then when you go back to the county, I have another gift for you!" ”

"What gift?" Zhao Chengcai salivated and laughed, "You might as well pack yourself and send it to me!" ”

Zhang Qingting's face turned red, "It's all bad with Li Hong, full of crazy words!" "I went into the inner room to copy the book.

Zhao Chengcai sighed, if he really broke down with Li Hong, he was still sitting here reading a book? Although that guy didn't dare to set foot in the land of fireworks, there were still two girls in the house.

Zhao Chengcai had also suspected before that these rich brothers were not as poor and mindless as them, how could they survive when they didn't get married? Later, I got acquainted with Li Hong, and I heard him talk about it. According to Li Hong, such a girl is not even a concubine, so she has to wait for the wife's room to officially enter the door, and then look at the lady's intention to give the name.

"What if you have a baby?" Zhao Chengcai immediately thought of this question, everything else is easy to say, having a child?

Li Hong raised his eyebrows and smiled, "They usually won't get pregnant!" ”

And this Qiaozong'er? Zhao Chengcai was really curious, Li Hong muttered a few words in his ear, and his face was red when he heard it, but his heart was pounding.

Can't think about it! Zhao Chengcai retracted his thoughts and continued to study the books of sages.

Zhang Qingting also had some careful thoughts, what birthday gift did this show give her? Several younger siblings screamed fiercely, but he was always smiling and silent. Could it be that he really bought vegetables for a few taels of silver to pass the matter? That's a bit vulgar, isn't it? But it's not easy to ask yourself, but there is always a little expectation in my heart. It doesn't matter to anyone else, I just hope he can bring a different kind of surprise to himself.

Zhao Chengcai estimated that Lord Meng woke up from a nap in the afternoon of this day, and then went to the yamen.

The official saw him and quipped, "Zhao Xiucai, what kind of lawsuit are you going to fight today?" ”

Zhao Chengcai smiled, "Lip service!" Don't say anything nice when you meet, is Master Meng there? ”

"Yes! Discuss with the steward of the guard about the drought, so you can sit down for a while. ”

"Where is the drought here? Only the rain was less than usual. ”

"Ahem! You live in the bazaar, and how do you know what's going on outside? For example, it's good that the terrain here is a little lower, and in a few nearby townships that are higher, a lot of farmland is dry! I have to hire a car to come to our downstream to carry water back to water the ground and eat, but it's hard! ”

Zhao Chengcai's face also became solemn, "If this drought grows, it will be terrible!" Wasn't that the great drought a few years ago? As long as there is a drought, there will be locusts, no matter how many crops you have, as long as the locusts have passed, there will be no harvest, and the most bitter thing is our old surname! ”

"Who's to say it isn't! If it doesn't rain again, my family is ready to stock up on some more food, and your family is still such a big horse farm, but you have to plan earlier! ”

At this level, Zhao Chengcai also thought of it, and went back to discuss it with Zhang Qingting.

So isn't it a coincidence that this trip is not in a hurry? Zhao Chengcai frowned and hesitated, but still sat down.

After waiting for a while, I saw that the guards and stewards came out of the meeting and said hello. The steward said that he was busy now, and had sent someone to measure his house and draw graphics, but he really didn't have time to do it now, and he had to wait until he was busy before he had time to rectify it.

Of course, it's the right thing to do! Zhao Chengcai understood very much, and didn't say much, so he asked him to go and come in to meet Meng Zhan.

I saw that although the county magistrate's face was a little tired, he was still in good spirits. Seeing Zhao Chengcai, he asked him to sit down, and asked what was the matter with a smile.

Zhao Chengcai gave another salute, "The whole township knows about my family's affairs, adults are fair-hearted and rigorous, and we often have gratitude in our hearts." It's just that the adults are in the officials, and we are in the people, so we don't dare to exceed the rules, so we have to keep it in mind. Because I am about to go to the county to ask for it, there are adults here, although I know that I can't go out of the pool, but I am a common man, but I still have to come to put a beak sentence, don't blame the adults! ”

Meng Zhan laughed when he heard this, "This is also human nature, what's so strange?" Rest assured, as a parent official, this official has to maintain the peace of this place. Go with confidence! ”

Zhao Chengcai thanked him, but he didn't leave, "My lord's face is not very good, but I am worried about the drought?" I came early, and I heard the official say two words. As a local surname, I wonder if there is anything we can do our best? ”

Meng Zhan was a little interesting when he heard this, raised his eyes and smiled, "If you think of any good ideas, it doesn't hurt to talk about it!" ”

Zhao Chengcai smiled lightly, "It's not a good idea, but it's a stupid method!" Because I don't have a horse farm in my house? It's right next to the river, so it's easy to get water. Now that the breeding is completed, the horses are raised every day to let them run around and move their muscles, it is better to let them send a trip to the vicinity, although we have few horses, we can't do much effort, but everyone collects firewood and the flame is high, and how much can also do a part for those affected surnames. ”

Meng Zhan nodded in appreciation, "Sure enough, it's a good idea!" Cedar. ”

As soon as he gestured, Qingbai handed him a list, the ink was still wet, it should have just been written, and the content of it was to call on the whole township to lend the cattle and horses with spare energy to carry water for those surrounding dry land.

Zhao Chengcai looked at the flattery, "It's better for adults to take the first step and think more thoroughly." ”

Meng Zhan smiled, "There's no need to be polite, we can be regarded as heroes who see the same thing!" ”

Zhao Chengcai said, "This side is in trouble, and the support of all parties is the duty of the neighbors, and we can't do anything else, so this horse farm is all up to the adults." ”

Meng Zhan was very satisfied, and immediately ordered, "List Zhao Xiucai's family in one place, send it out with the list, and then let the officials preach to see how many cattle and horses can be collected, and each demarcate the most convenient path, and send it to a few places first!" ”

Qingbai should go down and go to handle the business, Zhao Chengcai didn't bother, and said goodbye and went back.

When he entered the house, he found that there was a small one in the house, and he looked very honest and saluted him obediently.

Zhang Facai happily introduced, "This is our big brother Zhao." Chengcai, this is a small guy just picked by the eldest girl, called Baozhu, and it will be up to you in the future. ”

Zhao Chengcai was really surprised, "What about the mother?" ”

"Talking at the Fang family! He also added a small one to his family, our family, Master Fang said that it was a birthday gift for your daughter-in-law! That's a good example! ”

Zhao Chengcai also walked over, but saw that the golden tooth woman was also there, and told him that he was about to leave, but Zhao Chengcai took the opportunity to talk to her, wanting her to bring the Liu family back.

The Golden Tooth woman became nervous, "But what did she do wrong?" ”

"Nothing!" Zhao Chengcai explained, "You also know, she is still so young, our small family, there are already many people, and leaving her in the middle really makes her feel wronged." ”

The golden tooth woman knew that he was afraid of being suspicious of melon fields and plums, so she sighed, "I also persuaded her at the beginning, instead of coming out to help, it is better to find a good family to marry." It also saves the appearance of people at a young age, which is always indecent. But she was still filial piety at that time, how could she do it? But now it's time to do it. Don't laugh at it, we who haven't read books, don't talk about keeping filial piety, as long as we pass nine hundred and eighty-one days, we will be considered full. It's also a shame that you've taken her in for so long, so I'm going to look for someone for her, and I'll pick her up in a few days. Okay, right? ”

It doesn't hurt to delay this for a few days. Zhao Chengcai and Zhang Qingting both put down a big stone in their hearts, "It's for her to find a serious and good family, live in our house, and give her a few dowries at that time!" ”

The Golden Tooth Lady smiled, "It's really rare to see such a benevolent and righteous proprietor as you, no wonder I asked those two girls and praised you for your goodness!" Then I will do a good deed, and I will find a sincere family for her, so that you can rest assured! ”

Sending away the golden tooth woman, Zhao Chengcai told the yamen about it.

Fang Dehai nodded, "This favor should really be helped, if everyone can't grow crops, let alone the horse farm, even the people of us won't be alive!" So what's the point? ”

Everyone had no objections, Zhao Chengcai went home and thanked Zhang Qingting in front of everyone, but the two closed the door but said the opposite, "Are you afraid that I will mess with flowers and grass outside, so I deliberately found someone to watch me?" ”

Zhang Qingting was ashamed and annoyed, "I sold you after I asked him to take you out!" ”

Zhao Chengcai cheekily quipped, "Are you really willing?" I've only heard of murdering my husband, but I haven't heard of anyone who murders her husband? How much are you going to sell it for? ”

Zhang Qingting was angry and stomped on him, "Don't want money!" I'll also post one upside down! ”

Zhao Chengcai bared his teeth in pain, "Although I am not worthy, you will not be so ruthless!" ”

Zhang Qingting grinded his teeth hatefully, "Forget what this girl used to do for a living?" Kill the pigs! ”

Zhao Chengcai rubbed his feet with a look of disdain, "You still kill pigs?" If you dare to kill a live pig in front of me, I will have the surname of the pig from now on! ”

Zhang Qingting had nothing to do, rolled his eyes and left. Dead showman! Nasty showman!

On the morning of the sixth day of the new year, Liu saw Zhao Wang's and repeatedly told Zhao Chengdong to come back early in the afternoon. And on the table in that room, there were still a pair of new sachets, and a piece of red silk wrapped in an unknown object, and no one was allowed to move it.

Liu Shi prepared the meal as usual, but found that today's amount was twice as short as usual, and Zhao Wang had to explain, "Let's go to the alley to eat at night, and you can watch the house at home!" ”

The Liu family responded, but there was more and more suspicion in his heart, is there something wrong with their family? No way! Gotta ask.

Sent Zhao Chengdong away, and the old couple of Zhao Wang's family also drove the donkey to work in the field, so Liu's closed the door, pretending that the child was uncomfortable, and asked the neighbor to help take care of it for a while, and then went to the alley. I thought about it before going out, and I also took two pairs of insoles in my hand, and if I asked, I also had a head.

He didn't dare to enter the door of Zhao's house first, but he looked at the back door of Fang's house. Because she was afraid that someone would come to rent a house, Xiaoqing, the girl from the Fang family, often came to watch from the back. Why did you change to a strange guy today?

She waited for a while, and finally saw Xiaoyu come out to clean up, so she hurriedly called.

When Xiaoyu saw her, she was stunned for a moment, and then approached to speak, "Why are you here?" ”

Liu's lied, "Ya'er got up early and had a little cough, I'll take her to see the doctor, but it's not a big deal." How are you doing at home? ”

"Very good!" Xiao Yu responded, and stopped talking a little.

Seeing her expression, Liu immediately gave her the insoles in his arms, "I just made two insoles, for you and Xiaoqing, we are also here for a day, we should always take care of each other." ”

Xiaoyu accepted her things, and felt a little unbearable, "Sister-in-law Liu, you are really a good person, but unfortunately, you let this identity be tired!" ”

What does this mean? Of course, Liu had to ask to understand.

Xiaoyu told her what she heard Zhao Wang's and Zhao Yulan's words that day, "Yesterday, I heard Xiaoqing say that Xiucai and their mother-in-law will find you a good family again!" I'm willing to give you a dowry. Their family is also considered a good person! ”

After hearing this, Liu Shi was like a scorching thunder exploding in mid-air for no reason, and the whole person was stunned.
