(Collect, collect, collect, collect)

The house of Xiaoshiqiao is very lively, where have the neighbors seen so much silver, but the fact is in front of them, a plate of silver ingots was moved down by Li Daniu and placed on the big stone mill in the yard, and the neighbors surrounded both envy and happiness, and sighed in admiration.

Song Nan's mother Liu and Ping'er and others were a little at a loss, they didn't expect Song Nan to do what he said, listening to Li Daniu's story of taking the silver, Liu felt even more incredible, the Song Mansion lady Yan's brutality and ferocity had been taught, she had suffered her abuse and bullying back then, and now she was a little afraid when she thought about it, her son was able to take back part of the family business from her, it was incredible.

As soon as the joy passed, everyone was worried again, listening to Li Daniu say that Song Nan was left behind by the official who mediated in the middle, and the Song family was powerful, would it be unfavorable to Song Nan?

"Da Niu, will the official leave Nan'er because the Song Mansion regrets it? Do you want to inquire, if there is really trouble, we should send this silver back to others, although the silver is good, my son's safety is more important. Mother Song said worriedly.

Li Daniu scratched his head and said: "I don't look like it, Brother Nan ordered me to come back with the silver, saying that the official invited Brother Nan to drink and talk, not like looking for trouble." ”

Uncle Zhong turned around and said, "Madam, the old slave goes and take a look." ”

Mother Song nodded and said, "Then there is Uncle Lao Zhong, how do I feel that my heart is not settled, for fear that something will happen." ”

Everyone's expressions became serious, the windfall that flew in was often accompanied by misfortune, it was almost an hour, Brother Nan hadn't come back yet, don't really have anything wrong, it's not worth it; Now this lawsuit is unbearable, the little brother of the Song family has just recovered from a serious illness, but he can't stand the board in the hall, dozens of boards go down, and he doesn't want his life.

Uncle Zhong separated the crowd and walked outside the courtyard, and as soon as he pushed open the firewood door, he suddenly shouted in surprise: "The young master is back, thank God, the young master, you have nothing to do." ”

Song Nan just turned the corner of the alley, and when he saw Uncle Zhong coming forward with a happy face, he wondered, "Something's wrong?" What can happen to me? Is the big cow back? ”

Uncle Zhong's tears of excitement were about to fall, and he said repeatedly: "I'm back, I've been back for an hour, Madam is worried that you are being detained by the officials, and the old slave is looking for you." ”

Song Nan smiled and said, "My mother is too timid, I don't have anything to do, let's go into the house." ”

While speaking, Song Mu and Xiaoping had already left the courtyard gate, and when they saw Song Nan intact, a stone fell to the ground in their hearts, Song Mother clasped her hands together, and the Amitabha Buddha sounded, Song Nan stepped forward to hold her mother's arm and returned to the courtyard.

"Brother Nan is back, good boy, you have the ability." The neighbors gossiped.

Song Nan smiled and arched his hand: "What kind of ability is this, this is what I deserve." ”

After that, he lowered his head and whispered in Song Mu's ear: "Mother, how about we give some money to the neighbors?" ”

Mother Song nodded again and again: "My son is in charge, this is as it should be." ”

Song Nan smiled: "Mother is the most benevolent person in the world. ”

Song Nan walked to the edge of the stone mill, looked at the silver piled up like a hill, and said loudly: "Uncles and aunts take good care of my mother and son on weekdays, although this intention is not something that money can repay, but please allow me to show a little bit of affection, Ping'er, Da Niu, you come to distribute silver, ten taels per household, talk about your heart." ”

The neighbors opened their mouths in surprise, ten taels of silver, that is a large amount, everyone is tired and tired, and they only earn twelve or three taels of silver a year, except for eating and dressing, it is one or two balances, Song Nan shot is ten taels, which is a huge amount of money falling from the sky for the poor people, with this huge amount of money, this year's life is much better.

"Brother Nan, this is unacceptable, this is your family's silver, how can we ask for it for nothing? You can't make it unlike. Most of the neighbors are simple people, and these words are not all hypocritical prevarications.

Song Nan said with a smile: "Take it, my mother and son have lived in Xiaoshiqiao for five years, and the villagers have always taken good care of them, there is no labor at home, and the villagers are all helping Zhang Luo, I remember all this; Silver is nothing, you can earn it again if you don't have it, but this affection is hard to buy; If you don't accept it, you will look down on my mother and son, this money is not dirty money, it is the property of my mother and son. ”

Mother Song also smiled: "Yes, don't shirk, my son has a heart, don't shirk your neighbors." ”

The neighbors actually still want it in their hearts, but they just feel very sorry not to go, but since the mother and son of the Song family insist, it is not good to be too hypocritical; The women secretly pulled the corners of their husbands' clothes and shook them, and motioned to go up and get the money, and not to say any polite words.

Li Daniu and Ping'er took the silver and distributed it door to door, ten taels per household, only a dozen households, although more than a hundred taels of silver is a large amount, it is nothing in Song Nan's opinion, in Song Nan's opinion, the money is definitely worth it, although the neighbors did not take care of their families for money before, but to be able to repay them is a very happy thing for both parties.

"Uncles and aunts can make a fortune in a muffled voice, but don't go out to publicize it, if you teach more people to know, they all come to ask for a share, and our family will be bankrupt." Song Nan joked.

The crowd laughed, tucked the silver tightly inside, and went home one after another to steal the fun; After everyone was scattered, Song Nan picked up ten ingots of silver and handed it to Da Niu and said: "Brother Da Niu, these fifty taels of silver are extra for your family, there are many people just now, it is inconvenient to make a move, you kick it in your waist and take it home to Aunt Li, and when you are done, come back quickly and help me save the silver in the money bank, so much silver is placed at home, will it not make people close their eyes tonight?" ”

Li Daniu waved his hand again and again: "This can't be helped, Brother Nan, how can I ask you for so much silver." ”

Song Nan sighed and said: "Don't be, then I'll throw it into the ditch outside the door, didn't I say it, I will take you to enjoy the wealth of the world in the future, you can't stand fifty taels of silver, and you won't be scared to death if you give you a mountain of gold in the future." ”

Da Niu scratched his head and said, "I ...... I haven't gotten so much silver, and I'm a little weak-hearted. ”

Song Nan said with a smile: "Look at your appearance, go and come back quickly, I can't get this lot of silver alone, by the way, borrow an ox cart, let's move it to the ox cart and send it to the money village." ”

The big cow nodded again and again, holding the silver as if caring for a newborn baby, hunched his back and paddled his feet in a strange posture.

After a while, Da Niu arrived with an ox cart, Uncle Zhong and Da Niu moved the silver together, and the remaining 1,800 taels of silver were left for more than 100 taels for backup, and the rest were all deposited in the money bank for silver tickets, and handed over to Song Mu to lock in the iron box and hide.

That night, the leek and mutton dumplings were cooked on two large plates, and the family ate the dumplings lively, laughing before saying a word; Song Nan sighed secretly: Money is really weird, everything is sad without it, with it, he suddenly became bold and strong, and his mood was extremely comfortable.

got a sum of money, the family's livelihood problems were at least worry-free for three or five years, and the family did not move to the house on North Street to live, Song's mother's memory of that house was not good, and Song Nan also understood this, so he asked Uncle Zhong to rent the house out, which can be regarded as a small source of money.

For Song Nan, the biggest problem is not the lack of livelihood, but the upcoming autumn township test; Song Mu is not a person who talks much, but from her silent gaze, it is a spur, forcing Song Nan to bury her head in the pile of old papers and deal with those Zi Yue Shiyun Bagu articles.

I have to say that although the Bagu articles are pedantic and outdated, Song Nan thinks that the ancients who can write these articles are really geniuses, even if he is a person who has obtained a degree from a famous university in later generations, he is unable to grasp the essence of it; What's more, in addition to the form, the most difficult thing about the Bagu article is that its central idea is to promote the Confucian set, what self-cultivation, loyalty, ethics, etc., this is a disaster for Song Nan, a person who has traveled through later generations, wants to accept these views in their entirety and is not pretentious, and then express them in literary language, it is simply a fool's dream.

In any case, Qiu Yu still arrived as scheduled at the end of August, Song Nan had to go to Datong Mansion Gongyuan to participate in the township test, this matter became the top priority of the Song family, there were still three days before the day of departure, Song Mu and Ping'er had already packed up, bought the necessary things, and even bought a van carriage as a special car quite a lot, because Song Mu was worried that Song Nan's weak body could not withstand the trek all the way, even if it cost nearly a hundred taels of silver, it was not hesitated.

Song Nan was speechless, he wanted to yell: Don't report too much hope! The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment! But after seeing Mother Song, Xiao Ping'er and Uncle Zhong happily busy, this sentence couldn't be said anyway, so he could only sigh secretly, praying that Wenqu Xing in the sky was drunk or had his head caught by the door, so that he could make a name for himself.
