Chapter 50: Disappointment

Mrs. Han knew that no matter what Wang Sanniang did, it was impossible to leave the Han family. I didn't want to tear my face, I just wanted to bang and beat her.

When he saw his youngest son and his family coming in, he asked, "Have you two eaten?" If you don't eat, ask Saburo to call Shiro and Goro to come over for dinner. ”

Zhang smiled and put the earthen basket on the ground: "The third child is going to take the girl into the city today, and I got up to cook an early meal." At this time, Shiro and his brother have both read the book twice. ”

Hearing that the two little grandsons were studying hard, Mrs. Han finally had a smile on her face. beckoned everyone into the house to eat: "Hurry up and eat, the third child and the girl still have to go into the city to earn money." ”

After Han Beiqing finished eating, he went out with a bag of wheat cakes and a gourd filled with water.

This time when he entered the city, Han Laosan was still driving a donkey cart, and the cart was pulling cotton cloth wrapped in coarse cloth. A basket of spicy dried fish, a small wooden box of rhombus flour cake.

After entering the city, Han Laosan went to the yamen first.

"Master Lao, I want to find someone." When Han Laosan saw the officials standing guard at the yamen, he couldn't straighten his waist.

"Who are you looking for?" The official looked Han Laosan's dress up and down, and saw that he was still shirtless with his trouser legs pulled. Seeing that Han Laosan was from a poor background, some dogs were reluctant to deal with people.

"The new young clerk in the yamen, Han Zongwen from Shangxi Village." Han Laosan didn't take the unreasonableness of the servants seriously, and still nodded and spoke.

"New to paperwork?" The official looked at Han Laosan in surprise: "That Han Zongwen in Shangxi Village, the scholar who came back with our adults?" ”

"Yes, yes, that's him, I'm his third uncle. Zongwen followed the county magistrate, and when he left, he was in a hurry, and he didn't even bring a change of clothes. I'm his third uncle, and I'm here to bring him clothes. Han Laosan smiled honestly.

"It turned out to be the third uncle, Zongwen is in the officer's room, I'll take you to him." The attitude of the officials changed very quickly, and they were very enthusiastic in leading the way.

Han Laosan smiled proudly at Han Beiqing: "I can't see it, how much the world respects readers." It seems that Zongwen is mixing well in the yamen, and the eldest sister-in-law doesn't have to worry about his situation. ”

Han Dalang was very happy to see the third uncle and his cousin. After taking the change of clothes and pickles and wheat cakes brought by the family, I couldn't help but have red eyes.

"Da Lang do a good job, don't miss home." Han Laosan patted Han Dalang on the shoulder and encouraged him happily.

Han Beiqing understood Han Dalang's thoughts, and he was terrified for many days when he left home for the first time. I saw my family, but I didn't know how to express my grievances and fears.

"Big brother, don't worry. Everything is fine at home, and we help each other with the work in the fields. Grandmother said that it is not easy for you to be away from home. You must eat and sleep well to be in good health. Han Beiqing said as he took out a string of copper coins from his purse and put them in Han Dalang's hand.

"What is this for? I don't want it! Han Dalang didn't expect that his family would have money, and a warm current crossed his heart, and his eyes were red.

"You're in too much of a hurry, and you don't have any money on you. This is specially explained by my grandmother, and my uncle and aunt know it, so you can rest assured that you can take it. Han Beiqing learned from Mrs. Han's appearance and spoke in an old-fashioned manner.

"You've never been far away, and you've seen little of the world in the country. When you first arrive, you will inevitably make people laugh at you for being rustic and have never seen the world. If you are drinking with colleagues, you can follow along. You can spend the money you need to spend boldly. asked you to enter the yamen to do things, not to figure out the 700 big money, but to think that you can have a long horizon. ”

Han Beiqing's words made Han Dalang's heart warm. It turned out that the family had guessed their situation in the yamen.

"How do you know?" Han Dalang wiped a handful of aggrieved tears.

Han Laosan looked at Han Dalang in astonishment, then looked at Han Beiqing, and blurted out, "Nannan, did your grandmother say this?" How did she, an old lady, know this? ”

Han Beiqing pretended to smile mysteriously: "I'll talk about this matter to the third uncle in detail." ”

Then she lowered her voice and said to Han Dalang: "Big brother, there is one thing that only grandmother, third uncle, and I know from you. Don't tell anyone else, not even your uncle. You get the idea? ”

Han Beiqing's atmosphere was full of mystery, which hung up the curiosity of Han Laosan and Han Dalang. The three heads came together, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”

"The prefectural magistrate likes our cakes very much. When he heard that our family was coming to the city to sell food, he was very supportive. ”

Han Beiqing said too implicitly, and Han Dalang, who was not careful, couldn't understand it at all. looked at Han Beiqing with an inexplicable face, and almost said 'it's about my'.

"I will make novel cakes, and when my eldest brother Xiu Mu comes back, he will pass on the cakes to the adults to taste. If adults want to eat cabbage, radishes, white potatoes and other eastern vegetables, then our family will come out. ”

Having said that, Han Dalang understood.
