"Dad, this is the sobering soup that my daughter made for you. You drink it and save yourself a headache for a while. ”

Feng Yi's head was really a little painful, so he picked it up and drank it in one gulp.

After he had drunk, Erya cleaned up the bowl, "Dad, I have something to tell you." ”

Feng Yan glanced at her, "That's what you said, what are you doing so officially?" ”

"Dad, my aunt has been persuading me with my mother these days when she stays in our house, wanting me to agree to the marriage of the Zhou family."

Feng Yan frowned, "Didn't this matter have already been rejected by the Zhou family?" ”

"Auntie didn't say anything to death. Dad, my daughter thought about it carefully and wanted to agree to this marriage. Of course, this matter must be done with your consent. Erya said and sat down on the stool next to Feng Yan.

"I disagree! Now that I have agreed to the family affair that I refused, it is not a reversal. And your uncle is right, the lesson of your Aunt Zaohua is alive. ”

"Dad, Aunt Zaohua's man has no money to take medicine at home, and then he has to work, and he is so tired that his condition worsens. The daughter wants to agree to this marriage, not for herself. ”

Feng Yan raised his eyebrows, "Then who are you for?" ”

"Daddy, has he always been secretly envious that my uncle has a filial and capable girl who is so clean and clean?" Erya asked, tilting her head.

Although Feng Yan felt that Mingjing sometimes did not respect her elders enough, she still had nothing to say about her filial piety and ability. Erya's words did go to his heart.

"So what?"

The daughter knew that the family's money had been spent for various reasons for more than half a year, and her father was very anxious about it. At this time, the whole family didn't even dare to get sick. There is still a little bit of silver left, and I have to do my best to give birth to a child and use it for my second sister-in-law. And we still have a foreign debt of six taels of silver. The eldest brother's errand will not be able to start until the beginning of spring next year, and it is still unknown whether he can get the silver when he comes back. Dad also wants to support his fourth brother to study. Although now my uncle said that he would pay the tuition and miscellaneous fees for the fourth brother, if the fourth brother has a big career in the future, he will have to go to Fucheng or even the capital to take the exam. Can we all rely on our uncle? That's a lot of money. ”

Feng Yan nodded again and again when he heard this, isn't it. He's been so worried lately that his gray hair is popping up. If you really want to rely on your brothers to provide Xiaosi with education, it would be too much of a slap in the face. At first, he said that his brother had spent too much money on studying, so he accepted the twelve acres of land he gave up with peace of mind.

The daughter thought that it was time for her daughter to repay her father. Promised the Zhou family's proposal, and when the time comes, we will get a dowry of fifty taels, so we can quickly repay the foreign debt of six taels of silver. Then he left ten taels of silver for the fourth brother to save for his future study and exams. If her daughter has money in hand in the future, she will not forget to sponsor her fourth brother. After all, there is a brother who is famous, and his daughter is more confident in her in-law's family. ”

Feng Yan heard this, and in the future, Xiaosi will study in the city, and it is good to have multiple places to go. Moreover, the imperial examination is really a money-burner, and the output of the fields alone cannot afford to provide a promising scholar. It would be great if Er Ya could sponsor the fourth child.

Erya saw that there was a play, and made persistent efforts: "There is a third brother again, he has become like this, and the family has to tell him a daughter-in-law." The fifteen dowry that the daughter got at that time, picked up what he could use and left half for him, and then took out ten taels of silver for him as a dowry. Speaking of this, she paused and said, "Then, if my daughter doesn't bring any silver from the bottom of the box, outsiders should say that my father is selling his daughter." ”
