When the two of them went, the whole family was there as before, and when Old Man Yang saw them coming, he coughed and said, "Okay, everyone is here, then I'll say it, this time I called all of you here to say that there is a big thing to say, and the third child is very glorious when he is admitted to Xiucai." Now that the third child has found a good way, as long as he takes out 200 taels of silver, he can become an official, what do you think of this matter? ”

Xiao Yue understood when she heard this, it turned out that the rich boy they saw was Yang Changfu's good classmate, who was also the brother-in-law of the county master, it seemed that Yang Changfu had put a lot of effort into following him, otherwise how could there be such a good thing.

After the old man Yang finished speaking, no one spoke, Yang Changfu was a little anxious and glanced at Lin, Lin pursed his lower lip and spoke, "Dad, mother, eldest brother, sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law, you also know that Xianggong has been studying hard, but if you read up, the family can't afford it, and Xianggong can only give up and not read." As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief and pressed the corner of his eye.

Xiao Yue was really speechless, this is because Yang Changfu's talent is not good, so it is good to show it, at this time, Lin's words seem to be that Yang Changfu did not read because of his poor family, he was really speechless. Xiao Yue just thought in her heart, she wouldn't open her mouth because her family had already been separated, and she and Yang Chang just had to listen to it.

Xiao Yue didn't say that some people would say it, but Li Shi spoke, "Listen to the meaning of the third brother and sister, if the third brother and sister have a rich father, the third child can be admitted even if he is the champion, so is it better to blame our father?" ”

When the Lin family heard Li's words, he was secretly shocked, damn that he was preempted by the Li family before he finished speaking, he just said that he just wanted Old Man Yang to feel guilty about his father-in-law, so that he would do his best to support it. was messed up like this by the Li family, according to Old Man Yang's face-loving character, his own words were wrong.

She looked up to see that Old Man Yang's face was indeed dark, and there was also a hint of blame in the eyes of the Xianggong next to her, Lin glared at Li, "Sister-in-law, how can you splash dirty water on me, today I came to discuss the matter of Xianggong becoming an official, I only opened my mouth when you didn't speak, and you interjected before you finished speaking, and distorted the meaning of my words." I mean Xianggong loves to read very much, and he has always remembered his father's words to glorify his ancestors, and now he is a showman, and it costs money to read up. But Xianggong can't bear to see his father and mother work hard, and he wants his father and mother to enjoy the happiness so he won't read it, and now he has the opportunity to be an official and hope that the people in the family will help, after all, no one in our village has ever been an official, if Xianggong is an official, it is the only one in our village! ”

When Li heard Lin's words, she remembered that the third child was going to be an official, and she still expected to follow the light, but what she said just now offended Lin, and she was so anxious that she couldn't control her mouth and was really annoyed, so she only wanted to be quick for a while, so she said to Lin with a shy face: "Third brother and sister, you know that sister-in-law is a person who has a fast mouth, and there is nothing malicious, don't take it to heart." ”

A touch of pride flashed in Lin's eyes, look, there are people who stutter before they become officials, so there will be greater benefits if they become officials, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about, we are a family!" ”

Li smiled and nodded.

Old Man Yang frowned, "Okay, where did you go, let's get down to business." ”

There was no one in the room to speak, and Yang Changfu's look at the Lin family just now almost made her ruin his own business, so he didn't dare to let her speak anymore at this time, so he could only be secretly anxious there.

Old Man Yang saw that no one was talking, so he got angry, "Okay, don't you speak, right, are you still from the Yang family?" Okay, don't speak, right, okay, boss, second, 20 taels each. ”

When Li heard this, he spoke directly, "Dad, we have no money, last time the third brother went to the exam to catch the exam, I asked for 10 taels of silver, I took my dowry, this time it costs 20 taels of silver, then I can only sell your grandson." ”

Old man Yang said "Ao", his face was full of sudden realization, "Yes, you don't have money if you don't divide the family, that's okay, don't come out." Second, you are the only ones here, I see that you have built a brick house, or you will pay 50 taels! ”

When things got here, Xiao Yue and Yang Changfa still didn't understand something. The whole family gathered here today to ask them to pay, and the scene just now was just to tell them that the third child became an official and they had to pay if they wanted to follow the light. It's really a good calculation, but it's a pity that it won't get its wish, because Yang Changfu and Xiao Yue never thought about getting wet.

Yang Changfu's eyes darkened, and he glanced at Xiao Yue and said to Old Man Yang: "Dad, mother, we have no money, we still owe debts for building a house, where can we get the money to the third child." ”

"Then don't build a house." Wu spoke.

Xiao Yue listened to Wu's voice hoarse and weak, I don't know if it was a cold, no wonder I felt strange from just now, it turned out that Wu didn't speak.

Yang Changfa glanced at the Wu family, "That money was lent by my father-in-law to his daughter to build a house, how can you let me give it to the third child." ”

Wu glared at Yang Changfa, and Old Man Yang spoke, "It's a big deal for this third child to be an official, and the matter of building a house for you will be put in the future, and it is not that there is no place to live." ”

Yang Chang said coldly: "There is a place to live, but it can't be for a long time, not to mention that I still have to plan for my children." ”

Hearing that the children's eyes unconsciously shifted to Xiao Yue's stomach, Xiao Yue blushed and moved unnaturally, "Not yet, just a plan." ”

Everyone looked away, and Old Man Yang also breathed a sigh of relief, if Xiao Yue was pregnant, it would be really difficult for him to ask them not to build a house, "Isn't it yet?" Things always matter, and the important ones come first. ”

"What is important to you is not important to us."

Old Man Yang slapped the table, "What's you, you're not surnamed Yang." ”

"What about my surname Yang, you treat me as a family, I repeat again I have no money, you want me to pay for the wrong calculation," Yang Changfa glanced at Yang Changfu, he knew that this matter was definitely behind the back of the third and the two, and continued, "I came back and gave my mother 100 taels, and I earned seventy or eighty taels from hunting this year, and the money in my mother's hand is enough." Okay, tomorrow the new house will be on the beam, you can go to the banquet if you have time, and we will go back first tomorrow when there are many things. ”

Yang Chang got up and left, and Xiao Yue followed him and left.

As soon as the protagonist left, it would be fine, so Mr. Yang dismissed everyone. He returned to the house and instructed Wu to take out 200 taels of silver and send it to Yang Changfu.

When Wu heard that he wanted to take 200 taels for himself, his heart, liver and lungs hurt, "The second one, who was cursed by God, didn't know how to take out the silver to help his brother when he built a brick house." It is really unfilial to marry a daughter-in-law and forget her mother, and you should not have given birth to him in the first place. ”

Old Man Yang was upset when he heard this, "Okay, don't talk about it, he said that we can do without money?" ”

"He said he didn't have any money, he didn't have any money?"

Old Man Yang's eyes widened, "Then what should I do?" There are so many people working there every day, and he can't do it a little bit. Alright, hurry up and get the money. Wu took out the key and went to get the money.

Yang Changfu and Lin returned to the house, Yang Changfu's face immediately pulled down, and his eyes were full of sinister eyes looking at Lin, "What are you doing today?" What he said almost ruined my business, and I can tell you that if you can't get the money, be careful that I will clean you up. ”

Lin nodded submissively, completely lacking the shrewdness and ability of his usual life, he cautiously glanced up at Yang Changfu, and only dared to speak when he saw that his face was softened, "Xianggong, I know, I won't do it again in the future, I am also anxious about Xianggong's affairs this time, so there will be mistakes." ”

Yang Changfu spoke, "Okay, pay attention next time." ”

Lin breathed a sigh of relief, she had been married for more than a year, and she always couldn't see through this husband. is gentle and elegant on weekdays, but once it comes to his interests, she can't please her, and she is so thoughtful that people can't guess what he's thinking. Every time he looked at her with that sinister gaze, she felt as if she was being stared at by a poisonous snake, which made people breathless. She felt that she was smart and scheming, but in front of Yang Changfu, she was like a white rabbit and didn't dare to resist.

On the auspicious day of Shangliang, Xiao Yue got up early in the morning and went to Xiao's house with the marinated pig, and the craftsmen all arrived and began to prepare for Shangliang.

When it came to the auspicious time, Xiao Yue began to worship God with incense candles and yellow paper, Shangliang worship God is to be done by women and must be a woman who is in harmony with the goddess, legend has it that if there is no woman in the candle to worship God, God will not receive incense.

Set up an offering table in front of the house, and the offerings include pig head, pig tail, dim sum, and three kinds of vegetarian dishes, and three kinds of meat dishes, symbolizing the six great shuns. To have a respectable person to lead the sacrifice beam, Yang Changfa invited the Yang patriarch to sacrifice the beam. Patriarch Yang toasted while saying good things.

After the end of the sacrifice beam, the beam was put on the roof, and when the beam was put on, firecrackers were set off, and the Wang foreman shouted: "Go to the beam, good luck!" ”

Liang Ping went up steadily, and hung three copper coins, a stack of yellow paper, and a red cloth bag containing red dates, peanuts, rice, and wheat in the middle of Liang.

The most lively thing on the upper beam is to throw the beam, the beam is ready, and two red wooden plates are handed to the roof, which contain candy, peanuts, steamed buns and a piece of red cloth. The red cloth was tied to the beam, and then the craftsmen began to throw candy and other things down on the beam, and the people at the bottom saw the beam and began to set off firecrackers. Adults and children are grabbing things, lively and lively, and craftsmen are saying auspicious words while throwing things.

After the beam is thrown, it is the seat, and the seat on the beam is only invited to the village Lizheng, the patriarch, as well as the craftsman who built the house and the owner's own people, so there are not many people and three tables are enough.

Xiao Yue prepared braised pork, boiled fish, back pot meat, chicken stewed mushrooms, fish-flavored shredded pork, spicy tofu, steamed cabbage rolls, sour and hot shredded potatoes, and a large bowl of braised pork. Xiao Yue originally wanted to learn from her predecessors and use potatoes to make money, but it turned out that there were already potatoes in this time and space.

It was the first time for the workers to eat such a delicious dish, and they were full of praise, "This dish is really delicious." ”

"Yes, yes, it's as good as the food in the restaurants in town."

Yang Changfa stood up with a wine glass, "Everyone has worked hard during this time, I am here to toast everyone, thank you." ”

Everyone also raised their wine glasses, and the meal was enjoyed by the guests and hosts, and everyone left after the meal. After this beam is finished, it will be sun-dried, so it will work tomorrow.

Xiao Yue was busy all day today, after packing up everything, she felt sore and exhausted, so she went home with Yang Changfa to rest.
