After breakfast the next day, Cheng Xi took the hundred-year-old to Yipinxuan again, and the shopkeeper Wu responded very simply, only saying that the matter of this Pinxuan had to be handed over, so it may not be possible to move over in early February, Cheng Xi nodded and said that he would come to pick them up again in early February, and the shopkeeper Wu was not polite to Cheng Xi.

After negotiating with the shopkeeper Wu, Cheng Xi went back to Yu Zhaocai's side, greeted Yu Zhaocai, and a few people drove the ox cart to go back to Lihua Village, only to go out, Awen on the side called Mrs., and then looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Cheng Xi frowned slightly, and urged, "What is the matter, you just say it, why did you become a mother-in-law?" ”

Xiong Da Xiong Er has been with Cheng Xi for a long time, and he knows that Cheng Xi gets along well, and he usually talks and laughs with Cheng Xi, not as much as Awen Awu, and after listening to Cheng Xi's question, Xiong Er, who talks a lot, said with a narrow smile, "He's too shy to speak." ”

Cheng Xi glanced at Ah Wen suspiciously, only to find that Ah Wen's face was red, and Xiong Da also said with a smile, "Ah Wen is anxious about his relatives, and when he was fine yesterday, he asked people everywhere what he needed to buy." ”

Being reminded by Xiong Da Xiong Er like this, Cheng Xi also thought of Xu Lan and Awen, and said with a smile, "Look at my memory, how did you inquire yesterday?" I don't know about it, you have to rely on yourself. ”

Arwen replied in a low voice with a red face, "I've almost inquired, but I haven't had time to buy it yet." ”

Seeing that Ah Wen was so positive, Cheng Xi was also happy for Xu Lan, and finally found a wishful man, and said at the same time, "Xiong Er, you are familiar with the county seat, stay and buy things with Ah Wen, there is nothing to do recently, you can do it well, don't rush back." ”

As he spoke, he took out two silver ingots from the burden on the side, which were the dividends he got from the fat sausage shop yesterday, Cheng Xi handed them to Ah Wen and said, "Is twenty taels enough?" ”

Ah Wen hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, this silver can't be taken out by Mrs., and there is silver on your subordinates." ”

Cheng Xi thought about it, what Awen said was in the end, he was marrying a daughter-in-law, and marrying a daughter-in-law and asking her to help dig out the silver seemed a little inappropriate, so he nodded and responded, "Okay, then you can pay it yourself, and mine will be kept for Xu Lan to prepare the dowry." ”

After that, Ah Wen and Xiong Er stayed in the county seat to buy things, and only Cheng Xi took the hundred-year-old and went back to Lihua Village with Ah Wu Xiongda.

In fact, Cheng Xi really doesn't know what customs are there and what things to buy for the family affairs here, but fortunately, with Aunt Cui, a know-it-all by her side, Awen's family affairs are organized in an orderly manner.

Although the two of them originally lived in the orchard, Ah Wen didn't seem to want to wronged Xu Lan, and there should be a lot of etiquette, which can be seen from this point that Ah Wen really likes Xu Lan very much.

Originally, after marrying here, it usually takes a year and a half to get married, but because Xu Lan is really not young, Ah Wen seems to be afraid that the Xu family will regret it and be anxious.

At the beginning of February, the Wu shopkeeper's family was about to move over, Cheng Xi was in a hurry to repair the private school, and the people of the entire orchard grange began to get busy, and when there was a shortage of people, they hired the people of the village to come and help, and the people of Lihua Village heard that Cheng Xi was going to run a private school, and after it was done, the children of Lihua Village could also go to the private school for free to read and write, what a great kindness it was, where would the people of Lihua Village ask Cheng Xi to get paid, and they spontaneously came to help every day, I just hope that the private school will be done soon, and their children can also come to the private school to know a few words in the future.

At the beginning of February, Cheng Xi went to the county seat to pick up the Wu shopkeeper's family, only driving Ah Wu to drive the ox cart, Cheng Xi and Xiong Da sat on the ox cart, and just arrived in the city, they were very unlucky to meet Mrs. Xu.

Only this time, Mrs. Xu was not followed by Li, but Cheng Fang, and when Mrs. Xu saw Cheng Xi sitting on the ox cart, she directly blocked the way of the ox cart.

Cheng Xi glanced at Cheng Fang with slightly narrowed eyes, Cheng Fang could still calmly pretend that nothing had happened, and greeted Cheng Xi, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Xi'er has grown into a big girl." ”

Cheng Xi, who was originally going to be too lazy to care, waited until Cheng Fang was really standing in front of him, but he couldn't pretend that nothing had happened, so he only sneered and said sarcastically, "This is going to drag Aunt Fang's blessing, I was lucky not to be tossed to death back then." ”

Old Mrs. Xu was not as hypocritical as Cheng Fang, she was much more direct, looking at Cheng Xi on the ox cart and said directly, "Hmph, this ox cart is available, and I don't know how to be filial to my elders, so I must pay two taels of silver every month in the future, no, five taels of silver." ”

While the old lady was talking, she was also pointing fingers at five, Cheng Xi was speechless and looked at the old lady Xu who blocked the way in front of her, she was really greedy, five taels of silver, and she really dared to open her mouth, seeing that Xu Wenyu was about to become the magistrate of Anyang County, it gave her a lot of courage.

Cheng Xi was really too lazy to break these people, and glanced at Ah Wu, who turned the direction of the ox cart and drove to the other side.

This old lady did not achieve her goal, where is she willing to give up like this, at this time her legs and feet are very dexterous, and she doesn't need to be supported, and she rushed to the front of the ox cart again in three or two steps to block the way.

Cheng Xi frowned slightly, and then said with a smile, "What, the future county lord and the county lady of Anyang County, this county lord has not yet taken office, and you two are going to start searching for people's fat and people's cream?" ”

Anyang County is going to come to the new county order, and almost all the people in Anyang County already know, at this time, they are on the street where people come and go, and there are already many people watching them.

Where would Mrs. Xu care about this, she didn't pay attention to those discussions and points at all, she just thought that Cheng Xi must hand over five taels of silver to her every month, and when she heard Cheng Xi's words, she sneered and responded, "Hmph, since you know that my fourth son is the county master of Anyang County, you still dare to call me out?" I see that you cheap girl still obediently pays five taels of silver a month, otherwise I will tell my fourth son that I will never let you have a good life. ”

As soon as Mrs. Xu's words came out, the discussion around her became louder, thinking that she would be sad in the future, look at the arrogance of the county master's family, can this county master be a good thing?

Xu Wenyu didn't know at this time that before he took office, her mother had already begun to ruin his reputation in Anyang County.

Cheng Fang is not as stupid as Mrs. Xu, listening to the surrounding discussions, she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Mrs. Xu, and whispered in Mrs. Xu's ear, "Mother, let's go back and talk about this kind of family matter, don't let people see jokes on the street." ”

Mrs. Xu may have been aggrieved enough because Xu Wenyu was not here in the past few years, and she couldn't continue to be arrogant, but she really couldn't listen to Cheng Fang's words at all, and her gloomy hanging eyes glanced at the surrounding onlookers, and said with a sense of superiority, "Who dares to laugh, dare to laugh at me, let my son take him to prison and cut off his tongue." ”

Cheng Xi heard Mrs. Xu's words, and was very speechless, is this when the yamen was opened by her Xu family, Cheng Xi was a little gloating at this time, there is such a speechless mother, she is not worried that Xu Wenyu, the county master, has been doing it for too long.

Cheng Fang heard Mrs. Xu's words, and frowned slightly, her mother-in-law had no choice, so she had to hit Cheng Xi with her idea, "Xi'er, your fourth uncle will come back in a few days, we will live in the county government mansion now, I heard my mother say that the Lihua Village where you are staying now is very remote, it is better to move to our side and live with us." ”

Cheng Fang's voice was deliberately increased slightly louder, so that the people around him could hear it clearly, and his purpose was also to hope that the people around him would know that in fact, they were a family, and they were also talking about family affairs, not what Cheng Xi said.

Cheng Xi faced Cheng Fang at this time, and finally restrained his anger, regained his composure, and responded with a smile, "I don't dare to go with you, didn't Aunt Fang deliberately let Li Blind tell my fortune for me?" What about the Heavenly Evil Lone Star, this went to the Yamen, if he accidentally collided with the fourth uncle's official fortune, wouldn't he become a sinner? ”

Cheng Fang originally didn't mention this matter, just wanted to expose it like this, so that she would be the county magistrate's wife in the future, this Cheng Xi is a smart person, as long as she understands things a little, she will definitely not bother with her again.

Cheng Fang didn't expect that Cheng Xi didn't play cards according to common sense at all, and when she mentioned this matter again, she was caught off guard, and she didn't know how to answer, so it took a while to restrain the embarrassment on her face, and tried to pretend to be calm and said, "This is all a previous misunderstanding, why should Xi'er mention it again?" ”

Cheng Xi smiled lightly, looked at Cheng Fang and said, "Really?" ”

Is this threatening her? Oh, she's Aunt Fang, it's really not simple.

Cheng Xi really didn't want to continue to entangle with them on the street, so he said, "I still have something to do, can you two stop my ox cart?" Let's do it? ”

Cheng Fang doesn't want to continue to make trouble on this street, the bigger the trouble, the more he loses the face of his man, and he has not yet taken office, so he will make these things, and he is afraid that he will not want to see himself even more in the future.

So Cheng Fang pulled Mrs. Xu's neck again and said, "Mother, let's forget it today, look at so many people around, if we take Cheng Xi's five taels of silver in this public, it will ruin Xianggong's future." ”

As soon as she heard that it would affect her son's future, Mrs. Xu finally gave in, and did not plan to continue to block the road, but only threatened and said, "Remember to prepare the silver, next time I will go to you to get it, if you don't prepare it for me, I want you to look good." ”

Cheng Xi was holding back an old lady to fight, and seeing that she finally stopped blocking the road, he stopped caring with them, and motioned for Ah Wu to drive the ox cart and leave here quickly.

When the ox cart was far away, Ah Wu, who was driving, said, "Madam, do you want to go down and teach them a lesson?" ”

Cheng Xi shook his head, "Forget it, I still want to have a peaceful birthday in a few days, so I don't have to worry about them." ”

Watching Cheng Xi's ox cart go farther and farther, Mrs. Xu said to Cheng Fang on the side with a gloomy face, "Is there a carriage in our house?" ”

Cheng Fang responded, "There are errands in the yamen. ”

Mrs. Xu said, "Just have it, when Zhang Luo finishes the affairs of the mansion, let's go to Lihua Village." ”

I have to say that Cheng Xi thought it was right, this old lady Xu really opened the county government as her house, and in the past few days, the people in the yamen have been complained by her.

But no matter how much you complain, you have to bear it, who let this person be the mother of the incoming county magistrate.
