Chapter 87

With the passage of time, in a blink of an eye, it was time for the daughter-in-law of Tian Da's family, Qian, to complete the full moon. 【Fengyun Reading Network. Speaking of which, Aunt Tian is very happy these days, and her daughter-in-law has added a big fat boy to the family, because the family has earned some money with Lin Baozhu, so the Tian family has discussed a good full moon, and it is also festive.

Not to mention how harmonious and lively Peachtree Bay is now, just talk about the Shijia side of the county seat, but there was another incident. And at this moment, Shi Chengcai, the second elder of the Shi family, who originally looked down on his own incompetent big brother, was looking at his father and mother excitedly, and what was still in his mouth.

Speaking of excitement, the person who was still weak and angry directly stretched out his hand and gestured back and forth, eager to jump up. Then, Shi Laohan and Qiu, who were just listening attentively just now, also became excited, and even Shi Laohan's hand holding the cigarette pouch and pot trembled, and the two old faces shook directly.

"You mean really? Did the maid really say that? Shi Laohan was still a little sober, and kept asking his son, but even if he still didn't believe it in his heart, it was difficult to hide the expectation in his eyes.

"Yes, yes, Dad, you've asked many times. Chun'er said so, as long as we give money, this thing will definitely be done. Shi Chengcai responded proudly, thinking of the gentleness of the county lord's daughter's personal maid to himself, and the admiration and admiration in his eyes every time he helped himself to communicate with Xiǎo Jiě, he couldn't help but feel complacent. became the county master's son-in-law, but he couldn't worry about the fame of Xiucai? Daddy, this is a once-in-a-lifetime good thing, there are so many scholars in the entire academy, xiǎo jiě just takes a fancy to his son, as long as he can pay the starting salary, plus xiǎo jiě is forced to die, the county master will definitely agree to this family business. ”

As soon as the words fell, Shi Chengcai, who had been studying for many years but had not yet achieved any fame, and even ended up a little timid, couldn't help but be full of joy, and even his demeanor became arrogant.

The old couple of the Shi family were even more happy for their son's life, and even thought that they would be able to marry the county magistrate soon, and they couldn't tell how many people would slap him in the future, and the old couple only had a slit left in their smiling eyes. Sure enough, when I listened to my son's words, it was right to break off my relationship with the boss's family early, and it also saved me from getting a letter and then asking for benefits.

This thing also sounds suspenseful, and the old couple of the Bisheng Shi family were confused by the beautiful blueprint drawn by their son. It is a great blessing to be in-laws with the county master. Don't say it's looking forward to it, I didn't dare to think about it in the past.

Speaking of which, it is also Shi Chengcai's troubles in the academy, he thinks he is a rare genius in the academy, and he has always been above the top, and because Shi Dayong used to be an errand in the yamen, many people who went to study with their belts in their belts would respect him a little. In addition, the old couple of the Shi family have always offered him the same as a little ancestor, and after coming down like this, he has really developed a disgusting appearance of blind arrogance and looking at people.

He didn't think that way, and always felt that others didn't want to associate with him, because they were jealous of him, or deliberately excluded him. If it is said that the exclusion is also a real thing, but it is not like the reason that he guessed with the Shi family's father.

If you don't say it, people are self-aware. It's like now, even though the whole academy is gossiping about him, he still proudly feels that having an affair with the so-called xiǎo jiě is a big deal. It's ridiculous.

"And in addition to the bride price of fifty taels," Shi Chengcai gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly, "My son still needs some silver to take care of, so he has to buy decent clothes, and then give Xiǎo Jiě a decent token of affection, and he will have a certificate in the future." ”

As soon as they heard that they wanted so much silver, Shi Laohan and Qiu's faces were much worse, although they had forced the eldest family to pay money to their families every month over the years, and even used his name to get a lot of money and things from those shops and stalls outside, but no matter what, they couldn't get a huge sum of fifty taels.

Fifty taels, that's money that these little people can't necessarily save in their lifetime. If there were really fifty taels, why would they still be struggling to plant that tiring piece of land? Maybe you can open a shop and earn more.

Qiu's eyes widened, he spat out and looked at his son, thought about it and came over directly with the box where the money was placed, "There are more than thirteen taels left in the family, and I have an old bone with your father, and I can't make any more money." Shi Dayong's family, who had suffered a thousand knives, didn't leave anything valuable for his wife before leaving, and they were so poor that they died. As soon as he thought of that family, Qiu's face was pulled up, and the whole person was also very annoyed, knowing that he should have asked for more money in the first place. Suddenly, Qiu, who was scolding and scolding, seemed to have thought of something, and his cloudy triangular eyes were boneless, and he slapped the table, "Old man, do you think that student will hide the money, he has been on an errand for so many years, if you want to say that you don't have any silver in your hand, I don't believe it." ”

On the side, Shi Chengcai didn't speak at this time, pursed his lips and didn't say a word, he had already thought of it, and when he encountered the use of money, his mother would think of it directly. For so many years, every time the family wants to take money, his mother goes to ask for it over there, and every time he returns empty-handed.

In fact, he didn't believe that his eldest brother's family really had no money, saying that he had paid all the money for the family's food, who knows if he had any other benefits in private? However, he wants some miàn pí, and he has always advertised that he does not get involved in the tedious housework at home, and only reads the books of sages and sages, so even if he complains in his heart, he never says it.

There are fathers and mothers on the left and right, and the eldest brother is hiding it, but it still has to fall on his head after all.

Thinking of this, the expression on his face was much more relaxed. I remembered that a few days ago, when I was in the county bookstore, I happened to meet my eldest brother, who I hadn't seen for a long time, driving a mule cart to a tavern. It was also a coincidence that he was curious and followed all the way, but saw that the car went directly to a restaurant. Originally, he wanted to follow the past to take a look, but he didn't deal with his eldest brother in the first place, and he didn't have any extra money to eat and drink, so he could only stay outside and take a look.

I didn't care about it, but I saw a skinny guy moving things back and forth from the car. When it was time to leave, a middle-aged man in the backyard, who was obviously better dressed, smiled and said a few polite words to his eldest brother, and then took a string of copper plates and handed them over.

Needless to say, he also knew that the copper plate was estimated to be the money given. I just don't know how many there are, but according to his experience, I think there must be seventy or eighty words. Then he went to four or five more houses, and each of them would give money. Roughly calculated, there are as few as four or five hundred texts.

Later, when his eldest brother was leaving, he went to the grain store to buy a lot of grain, and when he passed by the butcher shop, he also bought meat and bones.

At that time, he was very surprised, thinking that after the eldest brother lost his errand and was beaten and had nowhere to go, he should be very depressed. He even felt some pity for their family, but in the end, no matter how sympathetic and pitiful he was, it was not enough for him to help, after all, compared to his own reputation, he thought he knew which was more important.

But the reality gave him a big-eared scraper, and the eldest brother left home, and it seemed that he was living more and more. He was even able to buy grain and meat to eat, and his eyes turned a little red with jealousy when he watched bags of grain being loaded onto the car.

Later, he also licked his face and inquired, only to know that the so-called good brother of the eldest brother before had really become a problem. opened a tea shop and a workshop, and the business is very good.

Although he didn't know how much the eldest brother could earn in it, he instinctively felt that there must be a lot of benefits. When he thought of his eldest brother who had just been stepped into the mud, and in the blink of an eye, he had a good life again, and his heart was uneven.

"Alright, you can live in peace. At that time, the family was so neatly broken, the family didn't take anything away from him, and even the objects in the small courtyard they rented were emptied for you, where was the money hidden? Shi Laohan glanced at the mother-in-law who still wanted to bluff, coughed twice, rubbed his forehead that was a little sore for the silver, and said angrily, "Besides, if there is, how many are there?" The boss has a lot of money on an errand, and you can ask for it directly, and you can see the money for his daughter-in-law's embroidery work. ”

Originally, Shi Laohan didn't say anything unpleasant, but he couldn't stand Qiu and felt that his old man was biased again, thinking about the boss's family. At the moment, it was like a cat that had been stepped on its tail, and it exploded directly, and the whole person became angry, "What's the matter, do you feel sorry for that kid's family?" Then why don't you hurry over and take a look, so you can see if people are filial to you, hum"

"What are you talking about, I didn't say anything else, but even if they have money, can they have fifty taels?" Shi Laohan glanced at his mother-in-law, thinking that this mother-in-law should be a careful eye, so that she could think of two sentences.

In fact, don't look at what he says nicely, in his heart it will make him calculate quickly. After all, the boss has been doing errands for so many years, even if he doesn't have any money in his hand, he knows a lot of rich people, and it is easier to borrow money than them.

But the key is that at that time, the letter of severance was directly made in the yamen, and because he was afraid of affecting his son's reputation, he asked the old man to stamp a big red seal on the spot, but it was much more powerful than the self-established documents in the clan. If this is a backlash, I'm afraid it's not easy. If you want to ask for it through the shelf of the seniors, just say that you can help borrow some money, and there may be some possibilities.

As for what happens after borrowing money, then naturally there is no need to worry. As the in-laws of the county magistrate, can they still lack money? If nothing else, let's just say that the county master is afraid and embarrassed to make the life of his in-laws too shabby.

Seeing that they are illiterate, they have no success in their lives, but in the end, they listened to the storytelling a few times because of their son. It is said in the storytelling drama that there are 100,000 snowflakes of silver in the Qing prefect's mansion a year. Although the county magistrate is not as big as the prefect, he will not be less than the money he earns.
