hugged the child for a while, until he fell asleep, Liu Man'er let go and went to the kitchen to help.

Fang was burning the fire, and when she saw Liu Man'er coming in, she waved her out, she said that here, she could handle it herself, and let Liu Man'er go to rest.

It seems that although their lives have improved now, the dishes have not changed, and they are still bitter vegetables and pickles.

But it's good that I'm finally able to eat rice.

The two dishes, Fang had already washed and cut them, and Liu Man'er saw that she really didn't have any help, so she turned around and left.

Sitting in the house for a while, she began to make silk flowers again, and then it was the day of the market, and the silk flowers were naturally made as much as possible.

It was getting dark, and Liu Man'er heard a voice outside, so she smiled at Ye Yuan and the others, "Ye Feng and Ye Qing are back." ”

"Your ears are so sensitive." Ye Yuan was already impressed by Liu Man'er's hearing.

Liu Man'er smiled and said, "I was a rat and cat in my previous life. ”

But the direction she listened was deviated, and she saw that outside the door, the cousin and aunt who came to the door today to find trouble walked in with Ye Qing.

It seems that they really went to Ye Qing's trouble.

I don't know if Ye Qing really said something to that big pillar.

"Second brother, what happened?" When Ye Yuan saw it, he frowned and prepared to stop it.

"It's fine." Ye Qing shook his head, signaling that Ye Yuan did not need to intervene in this matter.

Ye Yuan originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but Liu Man'er said after seeing it, "Since this is the case, then you don't have to ask more, the people in the province still complain about you." ”

Ye Yuan has always been the same, and now this Ye Qing is in the rebellious period, and he always misunderstands the kindness of his family, so he can only let him deal with this matter by himself.

Ye Qing went into his own room, the cousin and aunt stood at the door of Ye Qing's room and waited, Liu Man'er listened carefully, it was too noisy and muttering, she only vaguely heard the cousin and aunt asking Ye Qing for a tael of silver, and this Ye Qing also agreed.

Ye Qing, does he have so much money?

Liu Man'er frowned slightly, but when she saw the back of the cousin and aunt leaving happily, she sat down on this fact.

It must have been the money given to him by the Fang clan.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Man'er understood, the Fang family has always been very fond of every son, this Ye Qing is not easy to deal with, she is extremely good to him.

It's just that she feels a little uncomfortable in her heart, the Fang family's silver money is not given to her by Ye Yuan.

Liu Man'er felt that she should take care of the money, otherwise, when would this new house be built.

When Ye Qing entered the house, Liu Man'er spoke, "Ye Qing, did your uncle and aunt ask you for money just now?" ”

"Don't worry about it!" Ye Qing was feeling uncomfortable in her heart, and when she heard Liu Man'er ask like this, she replied a little coldly.

"Why don't you care about me, let me tell you, I'm the eldest sister-in-law in this family!" Liu Man'er said, "Did you say anything to Dazhu?" These have nothing to do with you, why do you want to give her money, you should also know how difficult it is to make money at home! ”

"I said, this is my business, don't worry about it!" Ye Qing began to get angry at Liu Man'er.

"You think I want to take care of you, I'm just disgusting that some people hear about things in the family and tell others, and then get into trouble!" Liu Man'er sneered.

What she said that day was unknown, and only Ye Qing knew how much money she made by catching snakes and selling them with Ye Yuan.

"You!" Ye Qing shouted angrily.

Liu Man'er smiled and said, "Ye Qing, you are a scholar now, you should know the truth of respecting the old and loving the young, I am now your sister-in-law and your elder!" ”

"Humph!" Ye Qing snorted coldly and said no more.

He is a year older than Liu Man'er, but Liu Man'er crushed her to death in the name of a sister-in-law, which is really annoying!

"By the way, what books did you read in the academy?" Liu Man'er asked again, the more arrogant this Ye Qing is, the more she likes to tease him, and he feels that others owe him every day.

"You don't care what I read." Ye Qing said to Liu Man'er.

"Yo yo yo, you can't even write a word, do you?" Liu Man'er said with a smile, "Your eldest brother is teaching two children to read and write at home these days, and each of them knows a lot of words." ”

Liu Man'er's words really hit Ye Qing's pain point, this Ye Qing went to study halfway, not to mention that the students in the school were younger than him, just said that this gentleman didn't teach them how to read, just shaking his head and reading, he looked black in big characters, and he didn't recognize the small characters when he read them.

Moreover, he didn't have any common language with this group of children, Ye Feng still got praise from Mr., but he was in the school, and Mr. didn't even look at him.

It's infuriating!

At the beginning, he still wanted to work hard, he must let these see, he Ye Qing is also a good material for reading, but a day has passed, and he can't even memorize a poem.

Ye Yuan saw Ye Qing's embarrassment, in fact, he also knew in his heart that letting Ye Qing go to study might delay him, not only did he not read a famous hall, but made him lazy.

But Liu Man'er said, let him go, some people, just don't hit the south wall and don't go back, anyway, the money is paid, when the time comes, test him, if he can't do it next year, let him go home and farm.

In fact, Liu Man'er wanted him to recognize a few words and learn arithmetic, at least in case she opened a shop in the future, this Ye Qing could also help her.

After all, he is a relative, and she will not harm him, but she feels that his temperament still needs to be tempered.

"Ye Qing, why don't you speak, come, let your sister-in-law take a look at your achievements in the past half a month." Liu Man'er said with a smile, "I have always respected scholars. ”

"Hmph, you country fool, even if you say it, you don't understand." Ye Qing scoffed.

Ye Yuan heard Ye Qing being so rude, his face immediately sank, and he was about to speak, when he heard Liu Man'er sneer:

"Yo, you're a long-gauze scholar now, so ah, we have all become fools in your eyes, you are really promising, in the academy, did Mr. teach you this?"

Hearing Liu Man'er's words, Ye Qing almost wanted to leave with her sleeves, during this time, this stupid girl didn't know what was wrong, she didn't dare to get along with herself before, so she always found trouble with a few children.

Since the eldest brother came back, she has been very concerned about several children, and she thought that she had become better, who knows, she actually found her own trouble, which is really hateful.

I wanted to refute Liu Man'er a few words, but a voice came from outside the door: "Mother, eldest brother and sister-in-law, I'm back." ”

But it was Ye Feng who shouted at the door.

"You're back just in time, and you'll be ready to eat right away." Completely different from Ye Qing's treatment, Liu Man'er stood at the door and waved to Ye Feng with a smile on her face.

Ye Qing choked angrily and sat down sullenly.

He didn't want to think about it, the most basic filial piety in ancient times was to greet the elders in the family when he came back from outside, and then he could go to his room.

But as soon as Ye Qing came back, he didn't report his safety to his family, but he still had a cold face, Liu Man'er asked kindly, and he shook his face, people are mutual, and Liu Man'er naturally won't give him a good look.

Ye Feng entered the house, first greeted Liu Man'er with Ye Yuan, and then went to the kitchen to look at Fang's family, and then put the cloth bag on his side into the study.

This is a small schoolbag that Liu Man'er sewed for him, specially used for him to hold books, he doesn't have two books a day to carry a basket back and forth, she looks strange.

"How's it going, what did you learn to write today?" According to the usual practice, after Ye Feng sat down, Liu Man'er interrogated his knowledge.

Ye Feng shook his head and read it, "I don't know when I sleep in spring, I smell birds everywhere, and I ...... at night."

"That's amazing." Liu Man'er praised, "Then do you know the meaning of this poem?"

"I don't know." Ye Feng shook his head and said, "The master didn't say it, the master said let's read it a hundred times, and then we will naturally understand what it means." ”

"Okay." Liu Man'er was speechless and choked, reading the book a hundred times to see its righteousness, this is really the dogma of the ancient teacher.

In fact, she asked Ye Feng to come over to study every day to really see if he had any intentions in the school, and secondly, to cover up the origin of her own literacy and knowledge of these poems in the future.

Anyway, if there was anything at that time, she would deduce that it would be good to hear this Ye Feng say it.

"Then you should read more, do you know all the new words now?" Liu Man'er asked again.

"I recognize most of them." Ye Feng nodded.

Ye Qing interjected on the side: "My brother is amazing, he was praised by his master in the school today." ”

When Ye Feng heard this, a touch of unnaturalness appeared on his face, in fact, he turned his head sideways, wanting to see what Ye Qing was doing, but he didn't happen to want to be seen by the master, so he blamed him.

The second brother is really, he didn't get distracted in every class, and he wanted to remind him, but he was the second brother after all, so it was hard to say.

Alas, it is so difficult for the elder brother in the family to make money, how can he not study hard.

"What's the matter, look at your face, you were scolded by the master." The expression on this child's face is clearly not a compliment.

"Yes, I got distracted in class today, and then the master rebuked me." Ye Feng nodded and admitted his mistake, and said: "It's just that the second brother doesn't listen to the master's lectures in class every day, but always looks outside, I can't help but want to remind him, but I don't know where to start." ”

Ye Feng's original intention was to want Ye Yuan and Liu Man'er to talk about Ye Qing, but in Ye Qing's ears, he was a little unhappy, "Why didn't you say that I worked hard for this family in the past?" Now that I'm tired from class, take a break, and you'll be able to talk. ”

When Ye Feng heard Ye Qing say this, he said: "I also knew that the second brother worked hard, but since the second brother has worked hard, he should better cherish this opportunity to learn, how can he waste his time like this." ”
