Chapter 34 The Matter of Studying

"Yes, don't scare yourself, we now have silver again, now I want to go to the village chief's house and buy the deed? Built a house? Leng Yue was excited to think that he would soon have his own home.

"Jinxiu Niang, if you take the silver and go to the village chief's house to buy the deed, it will save the village chief from getting angry." The house was burned, and he should have compensated his family, but the village chief also knew about his family's situation, and gave a three-year time limit, which is considered to be the end of benevolence.

"Okay, I'll go." Leng Yue went out with the silver in his pocket.

As soon as Leng Yue left, Nianzi lowered his head and complained softly to Lian Laohan: "Dad, how can you let Yueniang go to buy the deed, now that Yueniang knows the county master, we will pay the village chief twenty taels of silver to fly away from some distances." ”

"Son, we can't go, if we go, it will arouse the suspicion of the county master, and then it will be a real disaster." Lian Lao Han sighed and said: "We are working hard to settle here, but it will not arouse suspicion, son, don't be too nervous, even if the county lord really comes to our village one day, you have to show that you are the son of the year, and you fled to this place." ”

Nianzi thought about it and felt that what his father said was right, he was too nervous, he was Nianzi, he was his eldest brother Nianzi, as long as he behaved normally, who would check him?

"Dad, you're right, I shouldn't scare myself." Nianzi nodded, after two years, he still can't be his eldest brother Nianzi.

"Don't be afraid, the bridge is naturally straight from the bow of the boat, don't think about the past, you have to think more about the year." Even the old man felt sorry for his son.

When the village chief's wife heard that Leng Yue came to buy the deed with silver, her eyebrows and eyes were about to narrow into a line, and she led Leng Yue into the warm house, serving tea and snacks, and the village chief's wife shook off her silk scarf and showed off: "I just heard that you were sent back to the village by the county magistrate's carriage, ouch, that's my man's cousin." ”

"Oh." Leng Yue doesn't think it's unusual, what kind of show-off is there for this kind of kinship.

"By the way, did my cousin mention us to you?" The village chief's wife is very sorry, she usually gives this cousin a lot of game, why did the carriage come to this Miaoshan Village and did not see him give a return gift.

"You mother-in-law, why are you asking this, go and go, go and be busy with you, you don't bother yourself if you are verbose all day long." The village chief found the deed and listened to the shame of his mother-in-law, so he spoke out to stop it.

He and his cousin are also relatives of all corners, and he usually sends a game to Xiaofu, but he just asks the family to take care of one or two, and he expects others to be very close to you.

"Let's go, push what you push." The village chief's wife walked out of the house in a huff, took a plate of melon seeds and went to the side room to eat melon seeds.

"My mother-in-law is so virtuous, Jinxiu Niang, don't go to your heart." The village chief was very embarrassed, even his family came to help him make a warm kang that day, and his mother-in-law didn't even invite anyone to eat, and now she is pretending to be enthusiastic, which is really embarrassing for him.

"It's fine." Leng Yue smiled, took out fifty taels of silver from his pocket and put it on the table, and said, "This is the price you agreed with my father, fifty taels of silver, the village chief will give me the deed." ”

"Don't worry!" The village chief took out the deed and said to Leng Yueyi one by one: "The reason why this house is sold for fifty taels is because it comes with two acres of land and an orchard behind it, but it is said that the orchard can't grow anything, and the land is too poor to be watered." ”

Leng Yue didn't expect to buy a house with land and orchard, it was really earned, looking at the description on the title deed, Leng Yue was excited, she looked at the soil on the ground, and was afraid that she couldn't plant anything, this home is really getting more and more hopeful.

"Thank you, village chief, I see." Leng read the deed and thanked him.

When he was about to leave, the village chief called Leng Yue: "Wait, I'll find you two taels of silver, when you helped my family make a warm kang, I have to return you to a year's rent." ”

The village chief's wife in the room heard that she was really anxious to death, and people didn't ask you, why did you pay back these two taels of silver.

"This ......" Leng Yue used to think that the village chief was a greedy person, but she didn't expect to see it differently today, she didn't think that the rent money she arrived could be returned, and she didn't plan to ask for it, after all, he must be the village chief, the county official is not as good as the current management, and there is still a good life for offending the village chief.

"Take it." The village chief stuffed two taels of silver into Leng Yue's hand, "The account details, the silver and goods are two, how much should be the amount, how can you lose these two taels of silver." ”

Leng Yue admired the village chief's one-yard style of doing things one yard at a time, thinking that his family was going to build a house, so he asked the village chief: "Village chief, do you know which master in these ten miles and eight townships built a good house?" I want to hire a good master. ”

"Master Du in the West Village is good, and the price is fair, why don't you ask him to talk to him in person tomorrow?"

"Okay, that's troublesome to the village chief." Leng Yue also felt that it was best to talk about the price in person, and she also wanted to discuss with the master the specifications and requirements of the house.

The village chief felt that now the young daughter-in-law was becoming more and more proficient in life, and her personality was also straightforward, so after thinking about it, he still said what was in his heart: "That splendid girl, have you thought about building a house and hiring a small worker?" ”

"Is the village chief reminding people in this area or inviting our village?" Leng Yue never thought about it, no matter what the women in the village had to say about her, but the men in the village had helped her, so Leng Yue had to do this money-making work for them.

The village chief was very satisfied with Leng Yue, "Since you have thought about it, then I don't have to worry about it." ”

A village harmony is good for him, the village head, and if the village manages it well, the county order will not only reward him, but maybe it will be reused.

"Then I'll go back, Master Du is here, you call me."

After Leng Yue finished speaking, he went back happily.

After everything was arranged, Leng Yue personally cooked, made seven steaks of beef sent by Xiaofu, and made a large pot of Lanzhou ramen with a few catties of flour.

Nianzi knew that Yueniang's cooking skills were very good, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

Aunt Qiu tasted the beef and raised her fingers, "No wonder the county master appreciates you, this cooking skill, I'm afraid that the emperor will never forget it after eating it." ”

Leng Yue filled a bowl of noodles, "Dad, if you can't bite the beef, you can eat more bowls of noodles." ”

"Bit, bite." Even the old man had never eaten such delicious beef, and he was a little overwhelmed.

"Mother, the things you made are really delicious, you see that Xiu'er's stomach is about to burst." Xiu'er touched her stomach and made a full separation, the beef was so fragrant, and the noodles were delicious, she didn't know which one to eat, but she couldn't hold on to eating this bite and that.

"When you're full, go play with your brother and Aunt Fang'er to eliminate your food, otherwise you will have to sleep at night." Leng Yue saw that the face of the embroidery that had grown up was not as yellow as before, and he felt a sense of accomplishment.

"Brother, have you finished eating? Play with me after eating. Xiu'er pulled Jin'er, who was still eating.

Jin'er was urged by her sister, picked up the bowl and said, "Wait, there is one last bite of soup." ”

"This brocade is really not a waste at all." Leng Yue smiled at Nianzi.

Nianzi took a look and said, "Jin'er is sensible." ”

This is indeed a fact, Jin'er, a six-year-old child, is really too sensible, Leng Yue looked at Nianzi, "Are we considering letting Jin'er go to school?" Wouldn't it be too much of a mistake for him to stay at home like this? ”

"Studying?" It's not that Nianzi hasn't thought about it, but there are only a few private schools in this county, and they are pinned on the private school to eat and live, not to mention expensive, and Jin'er is still young, although he is sensible, but in the end he is still a child, and he will still be homesick at night.

"Isn't it good? The children are all six years old, and reading a book will also be good for his future. Leng Yue tried his best to talk to Nianzi in the tone of the ancients.

"It's not bad, it's inconvenient, do you know where the nearest private school is to Miaoshan Village?" Nianzi said: "It's at least half a day's journey from here, and the child is boarding in a private school, are you willing to do it?" ”

It's reluctant.

"If only there were a carriage, and it could pick you up." Leng Yue thought that when the house was built, she could consider adding a carriage to the family, so that her Jin'er could go to study.

"Poof......

As soon as Leng Yue's words fell, Lian Laohan puffed out, Aunt Qiu hurriedly wiped Lian Laohan's mouth with a handkerchief, Nianzi didn't blame his father for his gaffe, Yueniang's words were indeed too shocking, "Yueniang, do you know how much a horse is worth now?" ”

"How much is it worth?" Leng Yue didn't ask about the price of the carriage.

"The oldest horses are sold for a hundred taels of silver, and the carriage you ride in today is worth no less than a thousand taels."

"So expensive?" Leng Yue didn't expect that the carriage was dozens of times more expensive than the house.

Leng Yue asked and found out that horses belong to the court, and good horses are generally sent to the army as war horses, and ordinary horses will be sold by the court, so those who can buy horses are either rich or expensive! It's good for people like them to be able to afford a cow, so Lao Qiutou in the village has an ox cart at home, and he is also a well-known family in the village.

Leng Yue wants to read to Jin'er, it seems that he has to work hard, otherwise he can only bear to send Jin'er to a private school to study, not to mention that Jin'er is still young, a child who loves his family, Leng Yue doesn't believe that the gentleman in the private school will be so kind to take care of her Jin'er, civilized society has teachers slapping children, not to mention this ancient legal system is not complete.

She herself is reluctant to beat the splendid baby who is reluctant to scold, if she knows that her child is abused by others, Leng Yue thinks that she will not be able to control the power of the wilderness in her body to beat Mr.

The only way to think of it is to make more money and give Jin'er a good living environment to be able to study.

There is no defense when you wait for a year, the ancients are different from modern society, the ancients will take the imperial examination every year, it will be later, she let Jin'er study and not ask him to fight for any fame.

"Mother, I don't want to study anything, I want to grow up and go into the mountains to hunt and support my family." Jin'er put down the bowl.

"You still have to study, but there is no such condition at home now, and when your mother earns enough money, your mother will send you to study, but now the top priority is to build our house first, and then my mother is raising more chickens, and you will have money to study if you sell them." Leng Yue wants to get a small farm at home again.

Even the old man doesn't know how satisfied he is with Leng Yue, with such a daughter-in-law, even if Jin'er can't read in the end, he won't complain about anything, he sees what Nianzi's daughter-in-law has paid for this family and children, and seeing that his grandson is unproductive, he said that he would go into the mountains to hunt when he grew up, and pushed him to the yard, "When you are full, go to your sister to play, of course you have to study if you have a book, what is the interest in hunting." ”

Jin'er knew that her grandfather was angry, so she didn't make a sound, looked at Leng Yue and said, "Mother, then I'll go to study when I make money." ”

"Hmm." Leng Yue cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and nodded in response.

Nianzi glanced at Lian Laohan, don't think that he doesn't know what his father's idea is, Yueniang is now the pillar of the family, and he is naturally happy to have her make money for Jin'er to study.

He's a daddy......

There's nothing wrong with it for the sake of your own grandson, but I just feel that this is a little too unfair to Yueniang.
