Chapter 34: Life
The banter in it speaks for itself, how did he know it?
Xiao Qinghan was really a little skeptical at this time, whether Uncle Chen could really pinch it, but fortunately, Xiao Qinghan never believed in these things.
Xiao Qinghan looked at the old man, turned his head and said to the woman, "The eldest sister and eldest brother will go out first, I have something to ask Uncle Chen." "
The woman nodded knowingly and dragged her man out of the house.
Uncle Chen's face suddenly pulled down, and he looked serious, Xiao Qinghan frowned and asked, "Who is Uncle Chen, or who are you?" "
Uncle Chen looked at Xiao Qinghan's appearance, and he could also know that he had something to ask himself, and he also knew what Xiao Qinghan wanted to ask himself.
Before Xiao Qinghan could speak, Uncle Chen said to him, "I am a person from the palace back then, and I have received the favor of Concubine Li, so I have to say that, you can go." "
When Xiao Qinghan heard that Concubine Li was in the palace, he felt that his heartbeat had stopped, and then he glanced at Uncle Chen deeply, and then turned around and left.
After Xiao Qinghan came out, he saw the woman and her man, Xiao Qinghan's heart flashed in a moment, but in the end it was suppressed, it seems that the woman and her man are not mean people.
Chen Village is not big, and in less than half a pillar of incense, the man carried the burden to the door of Granny Wang's house, Xiao Qinghan pushed the door open, and let the woman's man put the things into the courtyard.
Then the woman and her man, without lingering, put down their things and went back to their house, for the pot was still empty.
The old woman heard the voice, groped her way out of the house, looked at the things on the ground, and couldn't see what they were, and was suddenly shocked, "How can you eat so many things?" "
Xiao Qinghan knew that the old woman must have been thrifty all her life, and these things were just a day for big families.
Xiao Qinghan helped the old woman into the house, and saw Fu Yunyan still lying on the table, the sky was almost completely dark, but the old woman did not light the lamp.
Xiao Qinghan's eyes were really bad when she looked at the old woman, she was busy in the night, she was afraid that she would fall, so she hurriedly asked, "Old woman, where is the lamp?" "
Only then did the old woman react, she had never lit the lamp in her room, she had already slept at this point before, and she was so happy to look at Miss Fu today that she forgot to light the lamp for a while.
Xiao Qinghan helped the old woman and turned on the lamp tremblingly, and the room looked a little brighter.
Xiao Qinghan placed the old woman on the chair, and then walked out by herself, and it took two times to pour all the things in the yard in.
The old woman looked at the ground in front of her that was filled with these living creatures, and then there were some dry goods on the table, and the old woman knew that the money she gave could not buy so much normally.
Xiao Qinghan looked at the two chickens with red cloth strips tied to their feet, and estimated that they were the hens given by the woman.
Xiao Qinghan's movements woke up Fu Yunyan, Fu Yunyan opened her eyes with sleepy eyes, and saw a mountain of meat in front of her, and suddenly her stomach began to growl.
After all, the carriage and horse had been walking for a day, and they had eaten late in the morning, so they had never eaten lunch, so Fu Yunyan was already hungry at this time.
Of course, the scream of Fu Yunyan's stomach attracted Xiao Qinghan's attention, but the old woman didn't hear it.
Xiao Qinghan put things in order, but he was worried, and asked the old woman to cook something for herself and Fu Yunyan to eat, but she had never been in the kitchen, and Fu Yunyan was unlikely to cook.
Fu Yunyan noticed Xiao Qinghan's embarrassed look, and when she saw something on the ground, she guessed that no one knew how to cook.
Fu Yunyan was also stumped, she used to be regarded as a person who didn't touch the spring water with her fingers, and occasionally made a snack and brought it to Fu Ping, and it was also a subordinate.
The old woman looked at the things on the ground, then stood up with her crutches, "Who bought this chicken or something?" But ten cents a piece? "
Xiao Qinghan estimated that the old woman also knew the family next door, the peasant woman of that family, and the greedy appearance.
"The second house that went on, the woman of that family sounded like a good person, and the four chickens charged me thirty-five cents. "
When the old woman heard Xiao Qinghan's words, a smile appeared on her face, "It's the little daughter-in-law of that family, that little daughter-in-law is very diligent, the person is okay, her man is also a good man, and her hands and feet are also diligent." "
Xiao Qinghan heard that the old woman knew about the situation of that family, and suddenly became curious, and the appearance of the woman who wanted to speak just now really aroused Xiao Qinghan's curiosity.
"Mother-in-law, I look at her and the family nearby, it seems that there is something dirty. "
Xiao Qinghan asked tentatively, thinking in her heart, the old woman didn't know whether to say it or not.
The old woman thought about it, anyway, Xiao Qinghan and Fu Yunyan are not outsiders, let alone talking nonsense all over the world, and it is okay to talk to them.
"The two families, the man is the brother, but the eldest married a shrewd daughter-in-law, the character is not good, gossiping on weekdays, the second child has not yet married, so the second child is thrown out, poor second child, the owner begs for food, and the west begs for saliva to drink. "
When the old woman said this, her eyes flashed with tears, and she could see that the old woman was a kind-hearted person.
The old woman thought of this and paused for a moment, and then continued, "Later, the second child begged for a daughter-in-law, whether the daughter-in-law is good, but the mother's family is too poor. "
Fu Yunyan heard it in the clouds, but she didn't interrupt the old woman's words, and it should be the people in this village who should be talking about it.
Xiao Qinghan guessed about it, it should be the boss's clothes, but what the bitter peasant woman did, and then the two families stopped contacting, the woman should be unwilling, and the family was ugly.
When the old woman said this, her tone was a little embarrassed, "Once the second daughter-in-law, her mother's family came over, and said that the house could not be opened, and the second daughter-in-law led people in, loaded some things, and sent him out, which made the eldest daughter-in-law see it and began to say something ugly." "
What did she say, the old woman didn't say it, she should be worried about Fu Yunyan's presence, in front of an unmarried girl, it was really hard to say.
But Fu Yunyan could guess what he was talking about.
Early the next morning, Xiao Qinghan went out early, ran to the door of the woman's house, knocked on the door, and it was the woman's man who opened the door.
Xiao Qinghan took out two silver ingots from his hands and handed them to the woman's man, "This eldest brother, I still have something to do here, and I am about to leave, and Granny Wang at the entrance of the village is still bothering you and the eldest sister to take care of it." "
Where had the woman's man seen so much money, and before he could react, he looked at the person who gave the money and left without looking back.
When the woman saw her man standing at the door, and did not come in to eat, she went out and saw her man holding two silver ingots in his hand.
The woman panicked and entered the house as her man, for fear of being seen.
When the man entered the house, he realized, how could he ask for this money? At the beginning, Granny Wang was also kind to herself.
"Erlang, tell me where this money came from, we can't ask for it. "
The woman was afraid that the money would come from an unknown source, and that it would be good if her family was implicated at that time.
The woman's man only felt that he was holding a soldering iron in his hand, "This money was given by the son yesterday, let us take care of Granny Wang." "
Only then did the woman settle down, it seemed that the son was noble, and what Uncle Chen said made the woman affirm that Xiao Qinghan was definitely not a mortal.
The woman took the money from her man's hand, and then walked around the house, not knowing where to hide it for a while.
The man looked at his mother-in-law's movements, and asked with some uncertainty, "Let's just accept this money?" "
Madame snorted coldly at the man, and said with a bit of self-abandonment, "When the son gave you the silver ticket just now, why didn't you refuse, you are prevaricating at this time, why don't you just accept it?" "
The man thought about it, and what the woman said was not wrong, but when the prince gave him the money just now, he really didn't react, he had been in such a small village as Chen Village all his life, where had he seen so much money?
Fu Yunyan also got up early, looked at the old woman sleeping next to her, took out some broken silver from the purse in her arms, and then wrapped it in a handkerchief and put it all under the old woman's pillow.
Fu Yunyan is not very rich in his hands, the money in his hand is still given by Xiao Qinghan, Fu Yunyan has never been willing to speak, afraid that when he is alone in the future, he will have any urgency.
The old woman felt movement around her, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Fu Yunyan stuffing something under her pillow.
The old woman hurriedly stopped Fu Yunyan's movements, and said anxiously in her voice, "Girl, don't worry about my wife, I still have money." "
Fu Yunyan still insisted on stuffing the things wrapped in the handkerchief, with Xiao Qinghan by her side, she would definitely not be short of money, and the old woman was really pitiful alone.
The old woman looked at Fu Yunyan's insistence, sighed, and let Fu Yunyan let it in, "You are a good boy, it will be fine, don't be sad, your mother-in-law will be your family in the future." "
The old woman remembered the things in Fu Yunyan's family again, and she only felt a pain in her heart, and felt that the Fu family had died unjustly.
The corners of Fu Yunyan's eyes glowed red, she forced the tears in her heart, nodded heavily, and then turned over and got out of bed, ready to go to the kitchen and cook something to eat.
As soon as Fu Yunyan came out of the house, she happened to bump into Xiao Qinghan who came back from outside, Xiao Qinghan's sideburns were wet with the morning dew, and he was holding a large stack of firewood in his hand, looking a lot embarrassed.
Fu Yunyan smiled at Xiao Qinghan, took the lead in the kitchen, and learned from yesterday's old woman, and wasted a lot of strength to light the fire under the stove, and then added some water to yesterday's leftovers, and then boiled it, just as porridge to drink.
clumsily put last night's leftovers on a curtain, and then put them on top of the porridge.
