Chapter 11 Plans

"The key is to be light and provincial, it doesn't take much effort, even Xiaoba can do it. Novel" Saburo nodded in approval.

"The plan is good, but I'm afraid that the money is far from enough. Gorou frowned.

"Let's build a courtyard first, and then build it slowly when we use it in the future, so that the house will not be old early, and we will have to repaint it when we use it. Zheng Qingluan smiled at Saburo, which means that you will build another courtyard when you get married.

San Lang didn't blush at all and said, "That's far from it." A courtyard house is neatly tidied up, and it is not good to have fifty or sixty taels. In addition, if you want to plant fruit trees and find fish fry, it is all silver. ”

"To say the least, it will take a hundred taels to spread out. Zheng Laosan nodded affirmatively.

"I'll go out with my eldest brother tomorrow for a day, you just have to prepare, don't worry about money. Zheng Qingluan thought of Baohua Temple, who had never had time to go, "I also want to let the eldest brother and second brother Xiaoba go to the school." ”

Everyone was stunned. Because Old Man Zhou didn't allow it, and Zheng Laosan was still a child after 20 years of taking the exam, Zheng Laosan and Qian also stopped thinking about letting their children test for fame. But now it's different, the youngest daughter is already a child, the eldest son and the second son are not bad at learning, and the little eight is also smart, so the child should not be delayed anymore.

Qian wiped the corners of his eyes, "San Lang and Goro are delayed." ”

"What's the delay? Mother, we're doing a good job at home. I know what I know, my talent is limited, my brain is not stupid, but my heart is too soft, and I can't learn the twists and turns of being an official. It was a fluke to be able to take the test before the age of twenty and come back. But I still have to go to the school, I still have to take the imperial examination, and I have to accompany my little sister. When Gorou is a few years older, I won't take the test, as long as he can accompany his little sister. I'm the eldest son, and I can't take care of my family's affairs. Saburo smiled.

"Why doesn't Dad want to try it out?" Gorou looked at Zheng Laosan, "Dad's knowledge is fine, why don't you try it?" When the little sister gets married, the little sister's background can also look better." ”

These words stunned the whole family.

Zheng Qingluan's mind turned, thinking that Zheng Sanshui was also a character when he was young, and his life like a half-wasted person in the past ten years was inevitably decadent, and now he was given a reason to take a step forward, how could he not work hard. "Dad, go and try! We don't want to be high-ranking officials, as long as we can protect our family and industry, and have the power to protect ourselves. ”

"Can it work?" Zheng Sanshui was a little moved, "Dad is thirty-one this year." ”

"There are two months left, that is, this year's children's exam, my father and my brothers will try, if they can get it, we will open a Mongolian school by ourselves, and the surrounding ten miles and eight villages will definitely come to find Dad. Xiaoba tried his best to pout, "My brother and second sister are my father's living signs." Shu Xiu earns more than copying books, and it is decent. ”

Zheng Qingluan touched Xiao Ba's head appreciatively, "We have done all the exam highlights copied by my father in previous years, haven't you counted your level yourself? Isn't there a lot of accumulation, and you are a late bloomer? What are you afraid of? Besides, there is no teacher who is willing to accept female students." Zheng Qingluan smiled bitterly, "No matter how many books you memorize, it's useless if you don't have exam experience." My brothers could only accompany me, and they also crossed the river by feeling the stones. Even if we are selected for the show next year, it will take at least three years to be examined, and only another three years to be admitted to the Jinshi, which is still a smooth situation. But dad is different, ten years of grinding, the show is definitely able to win, and you can participate in the township test in the autumn of the same year. Dad should explore the way for us, even if it fails, the money is not in vain, and we will be saved from a detour. Especially me, I can't afford to delay!"

Zheng Sanshui's face changed, he really hadn't thought about it in this regard, it was related to the future of his little daughter, so he couldn't be sloppy, "Okay, Dad! Even if you don't win, you should sum up the lessons and lessons." I can also make some connections and pave the way for you. ”

"Go! You must go! Your father has been aggrieved all these years, I look uncomfortable, I have me at home, you don't have to worry. "Qian has been holding his breath all these years, when the child and his father were high-spirited, who didn't praise a good talent when he saw it, and he had the ability. These years of hard life have exhausted people's hearts.

"I can help my mother, you can study hard, don't worry about anything else. "Zheng Qingju looks like I am the eldest sister, and I am responsible.

"Mother, sister, I have a plan. It won't make it so hard for you. I'll talk to you again when my eldest brother and I come back tomorrow. Zheng Qingluan said with a smile.

Zheng Qingju's eyes lit up, knowing that her sister was going to make a lot of money again.

Qian's mouth moved, but there was no speech. This girl's talent and learning made King Rui and the officials in the capital praise, and she should let go more.

"You have a reputation now, you can't be a scoundrel anymore! Gorou admonished.

San Lang nodded, Zheng Qingluan smiled helplessly, and didn't explain, silently Xiaoba's head, "Sister came back to buy you something delicious!" and asked: "What about the second uncle's family?

"Your second uncle's family returned to the provincial capital the day before yesterday. This time, thanks to your second uncle and second uncle, it is Erlang's child, who also followed back and forth. Qian said with emotion.

"I remember!" Zheng Qingluan muttered: "I'm afraid there will be a lot of places where the second uncle will be used in the future." ”

"What are you afraid of? That's your second uncle. When your wings are stiff, you can protect your second uncle more. Besides, your second uncle wants Erlang to join the army, how can he do it without support. Zheng Sanshui hesitated, but still didn't finish his words.

But Zheng Qingluan still understood. No matter what Xiao Yunfeng is, the prestige and connections of the Xiao family in the army are incomparable. There is no need to ask for someone at all, as long as the identity of Xiao Yunfeng's brother-in-law is revealed, someone will secretly support him.

Zheng Qingluan nodded, she had a good impression of Erlang, besides, this is a mutually beneficial thing, Xiao Yunfeng also needs a trustworthy arm, "Then take the time to give the second uncle a letter, there is a place for me to come forward, just ask." ”

Zheng Laosan smiled with satisfaction, afraid that his daughter would think that the second brother was coercing him to repay him, but he didn't expect that the youngest daughter was also very knowledgeable in terms of human feelings, which was very good, "I'll go to the town tomorrow and let someone give you a letter to your second uncle." ”

Wulang looked at Zheng Qingluan thoughtfully, then smiled, and changed the topic, "I'm afraid that the uncle and the fifth uncle made the wrong calculation." The lord did not allow them to move out, and the two rooms lived in the main courtyard wing. The house in the city and the county town are rented out, which is enough for the family's expenses. ”

"All crowded in the main courtyard. That's not noisy. Zheng Qingluan pouted.

"That's not it! There wasn't a fuel-efficient lamp. Qian gloated, "There is your milk to suffer." ”

"Who did you sell the house to? When will you take over the house? Zheng Qingluan asked.

"It is said that it is a family in the town, and the five brothers are all married and crowded into a small courtyard. If you want to buy a house in the town, but you don't have enough money, and there is not much difference between living in our village and living in the town, do you find our house? People don't know that your fifth uncle secretly sold it, so it's embarrassing, and they say that they will give us a grace period of one month and let us move slowly. Qian sighed. After living in this room for so many years, these children were all born and grown up in this room, can they have no feelings?

"Don't let the old go, don't let the new come! A month is enough time for us to build a new house, and when the new house is built into a fire wall, it will dry out after a few days, and it will not affect our move. Zheng Qingluan saw Qian's sad appearance and hurriedly changed the topic.

"This is good! It's not cold in winter! There's no need to do needlework like now, and you can freeze your hands when you do needlework in this weather. Zheng Qingluan responded happily, "Can you leave a small room for bathing?" I heard Malt say that all the masters of their family have small rooms for washing. It burns warm and bakes in winter. "Malt is a little sister of the Zheng family, the same age as Zheng Qingju, the two have a very good relationship, she works in a big family in Fucheng.

"Yes, why not! When the time comes, I will also arrange a room for you according to Miss Qianjin's boudoir." Zheng Qingluan secretly remembered that her sister couldn't stay at home for a few years, so she could still do it if she was more relaxed at home.

Zheng Qingju glanced at her sister, thinking that she was joking, but she didn't care.

San Lang and Gorou saw that the little sister was telling the truth, and they really felt sorry for the eldest sister who had worked hard for this family all these years, and thought that it would be good to let her go well.

"Goro, come on. As he spoke, he heard Shiro shouting next door. Needless to say, this is another delicious thing.

Gorou answered and went out, and came back after a while, "It's snowing today, and I went out and caught a lot of finches, and brought twenty or thirty of them, and I put them in the kitchen, and fried them for a while." ”

"Fried finches, it's strange to be fuel-efficient. Zheng Qingju said distressedly, "Let's make dumplings tonight." I haven't eaten the meat that my uncle brought yet! "Seeing Zheng Qingluan's puzzled look, he explained: "Your affairs have been known to all the miles and eight towns, and your grandparents, uncles and aunts are here, and you don't know who you are tired of, of course you don't know." ”

"Then I'll come back from the county, buy more food, and let people come over for a while. Recently, we have been too busy, and when we moved, we settled it down, and we took my grandparents to live for a few days. Zheng Qingluan really didn't know that it had alarmed so many people.

Qian's heart ironed when he listened, his mother's family has helped him a lot over the years, and he is also a sister-in-law who is kind and never complains. Now it's better, the children can remember their mother's goodness, and it also makes Qian's heart feel better.

"Don't buy something you don't use. Buying some polished rice and fine noodles is real and decent, and we don't talk about those empty ones. Zheng Laosan responded while copying the book.

"I remember. Zheng Qingluan nodded, she still has a lot to learn in terms of human relations.

Qian was happy to hear this, "Then let's eat dumplings tonight, call your fourth aunt too, and the two families will be together, and the trouble will be sent to save you." Besides, your fourth aunt's craft of making dumplings, you two sisters learn hard, that's really fast and good, and I can't beat your fourth aunt either. "The child's father remembers his mother's family and gives himself a long face, and he has to give the child more face to his father.

As he spoke, he stood up and arranged the needlework basket
