Volume 1 Chapter 245 The friendship between the Nguyen and Li families
Before leaving, Xu Yunjin took out a purse from his arms and put it in Mrs. Ruan's hand, the purse was fluttering.
Mrs. Ruan knew this purse, which Xiao Ruo sewed and gave to him when Xiao Ruo was married to her son.
She didn't know what it was, but she knew that it should be very valuable, and she subconsciously wanted to return it to Xu Yunjin.
"Uncle, aunt, you must take this, it is a little bit of our heart, I know that this money can't be exchanged for Brother Shou's life, but he exchanged it for his life.
He went to war just to earn you a good life, but now that he is gone, you deserve it."
There were two hundred taels of silver tickets in the purse, and Xu Yunjin didn't want to give more, so he couldn't let the Ruan family have conflicts because of this pension.
Or think that Ruan Deshou's death is still worth it, and he actually exchanged so much money.
So after several deliberations, the two hundred taels of silver tickets were decided, of course, the money was not hers alone, and each of the six of them contributed a part.
"With this money, you can send your children to school, renovate your family's house, buy fields, and I think if Brother Deshou is here, his arrangement must be like this."
Xu Yunjin put the purse back into Mrs. Ruan's hand, held her hand, then looked at the three little radish heads, and touched the heads of several children one by one.
"Your third uncle is a hero of the world, if you learn this skill in the future, you must remember that your third uncle is good to you."
The eldest child clenched his fists tightly when he heard this, and replied solemnly:
"I will definitely remember the third uncle, I can already write the name of the third uncle, and when I have a chance, I will tell the story of the big hero third uncle to others."
At this moment, this child who is only seven or eight years old seems to have found his ideals, and one day in the future he will really become a teacher who preaches and solves doubts.
"Good."
Xu Yunjin touched his head again, and then left, and the Ruan family kept standing at the door watching the backs of several people leaving.
"Grandpa, grandma, in the future, I will be my third uncle's son, and I will sweep his grave and repair his grave every year."
Ruan Defu's eldest son said to several old people with a serious face, and his father and mother did not object, and even supported them.
The old couple were very relieved to see this, the younger son had no descendants, and they were afraid that no one would take care of the younger son after they died.
"We are also the daughter/son of the third uncle."
The two younger siblings also stood up and said that the two husbands and wives were not dissatisfied at all, even if they wanted to open a family tree to pass the child to the younger brother's name, they had no opinion.
"Okay, good, all good children, your third uncle's sacrifice for this family, you just remember it, and in the future, you also have to learn to be a person who knows how to repay your kindness, you know?"
Although the old man Ruan's eyes were red, but there was a smile on his face, the haze on the heads of the Ruan family had finally dissipated a little, and no one knew whether the pillow would be wet with tears in the dead of night.
The family entered the courtyard, and when they opened it, they saw that it was two silver tickets, and the Long family had gone to the pawnshop as their dowry, and they had seen the silver tickets, and they knew how much they were worth.
After Mrs. Ruan knew how much it was, her heart jumped, so much money, thought about it, and took out one of the silver tickets.
"We will take one of this silver ticket to our family, and the other one and this purse, you can take it to Xiao Ruo."
Mrs. Ruan took out a silver ticket, put the rest in Long's hand, looked at the two sons and daughters-in-law were not dissatisfied, and then said:
"In the past few years, Xiao Ruo has done a lot for our family, and she has not married after the age of eighteen, and the taxes are all paid by her own embroidery on weekdays.
Now that your little brother is gone, I know her temperament, I'm afraid she would rather comb herself than remarry, this money is not only what our family deserves, but also what Xiaoruo deserves, what do you think?"
Ruan Lao Ping is usually a gentle-looking person, but he is still very resolute in some things, and he has no opinion on her arrangement for the Ruan family.
After all, it's "life money."
They don't have such a hard heart to get it, such a harmonious family may also be the reason why Ruan Deshou secretly signed up for the army!
On the other side, as soon as Xu Yunjin and the others came out of Ruan's house, they saw a familiar figure waiting for them, specifically, waiting for Xu Yunjin.
"Miss Li."
Seeing Li Xiaoruo's dress as a woman, everyone didn't speak, and they admired her friendship for Ruan Deshou.
"I've seen the county lord, I don't know if I can ask the county lord to talk here."
Xu Yunjin looked around, there happened to be a big tree, which was very suitable for talking.
"Let's go there."
Xu Yunjin walked over first as he spoke, Han Shaozhi and a few people waited on the side and didn't follow, but Yuan San kept his eyes on the two of them.
After a while, the two of them stood under the big tree, Li Xiaoruo was a petite girl, but there seemed to be a huge force in her body.
"What do you want to say to me?" Xu Yunjin didn't look at her either, just looked into the distance like her.
Li Xiaoruo didn't answer, just took half a step back and knelt in front of her.
"What are you doing here? Get up quickly, you have something to say."
Xu Yunjin hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull the person up, but this girl who looked weak and weak was still quite strong.
Just as she was about to use her strength to pull people up, Li Xiaoruo stopped:
"County Lord, let me follow you, follow you to Jiujiang, go anywhere, I want to see Daqi for him."
Xu Yunjin didn't move now, this girl is really, she loves her too much!
"But what about your parents? What are they going to do?"
Although she admired, she was not willing to easily agree to her request.
"I've already asked for their consent, my father and mother are still young, and I still have a younger brother in the family to do my filial piety."
Li Xiaoruo made a decision last night, and discussed it with his parents a long time ago, although he knew that he was very unfilial, he still resolutely did it.
"In that case, then you go home and pack your things, and we'll leave in half an hour."
That's all she said, Xu Yunjin also wants her to go out for a walk, although she has never been in love, but she also knows how painful it will be to love deep but lose a lover.
"Thank you, Lord Shire."
Li Xiaoruo kowtowed, then stood up and went home without looking back, and happened to meet the Long family to give her a purse halfway.
The two refused back and forth for a long time, and in the end, Li Xiaoruo lost, took the purse and went home, the things were packed up last night, she just had to go home and get it.
"Dad, this is a hundred taels of silver tickets, the sister-in-law gave it, it was given to the in-laws by the county lord, and the mother-in-law gave me a hundred taels, you can take this money and send the younger brother to the school.
I'm not at home, please take care of your health, little brother, you have to listen to your husband when you enter the school, and study hard, this money is your brother-in-law's life."
Li Xiaoruo's name for the Ruan family has not changed, Li's father and Li's mother have tears in their eyes, holding the silver ticket but don't know what to say.
Father Li turned around and went into the room and took out the family's savings for many years, a total of fourteen halves, Li Xiaoruo hesitated and accepted it.
Little Brother Li rushed directly into his sister's arms and cried.
"Don't cry, my sister also wants to see the outside world."
Li Xiaoruo didn't cry, he had left enough tears in the past two days, touched his brother's head, and finally took a deep look at the second elder, and turned to leave.
"Xiao Ruo, you have to be good."
Behind him was the sad voice of Li's mother, Li Xiaoruo just turned around and smiled at her mother, turned around and left.
After a while, her back disappeared at the gate of the Li family, and the three members of the Li family hugged each other and cried for a while.
"Okay, if Xiao Ruo follows the county lord to see the outside world, maybe she has seen a lot, and she may not have the idea of marrying in the future."
Li's father comforted his wife and son, but what he didn't know was that the future Li Xiaoruo was still not married, but embarked on the path that his sweetheart had walked.
"We're going to send the county lord too, the county
We must all keep in our hearts the great grace of the Lord."
After Li's father finished speaking, he went to fetch water, and the family of three washed up, cheered up and went to the village chief's house.
At this time, Xu Yunjin was telling Village Chief Jin what she didn't say in the morning.
"Village Chief, I promised in advance that these silver tickets would be used to fund your silkworm raising, so you can take them.
As for these, it is a little bit of our heart, please help me to the families of those soldiers in Mulberry Village when the time comes."
Although they didn't have any contact with other soldiers, they still took other people into account, but the amount of silver was not as much as that given to the Ruan family.
"However, the imperial court will also issue a pension, you have already helped the village a lot, and I can't take this money."
Village Chief Jin looked at the five silver tickets of one hundred taels and the fifteen silver tickets of fifty taels, and his heart was very moved.
But she only took the five hundred taels, and the five hundred taels will be returned to her in another way when the time comes.
"Village chief, listen to me, the imperial court's pension is given by the imperial court, but this is our heart for the families of the soldiers, and we should thank them for protecting Daqi with their lives."
It's not that Xu Yunjin can't take out a lot of money, but she can't take it out, she doesn't want to promote this kind of atmosphere, people have to work hard to earn it themselves.
"Hey, the little old man thanked a few people for the kindness of the villagers."
Village Chief Jin was finally convinced, and the silver ticket in his hand was clenched to death, and he swore in his heart that as long as he was still in the day, if anyone dared to betray the county lord of Wenle, then wait to be expelled from the village!
While the two were talking, the villagers all arrived at the door, each carrying a chicken or a few eggs in a basket.
"County Lord, we don't have any good things, these chickens, ducks, and eggs are all raised by the family, the county lord brings a dish when he is in a hurry, you must not refuse."
Yesterday, the little old man who guessed the intention of Xu Yunjin and the others carried a hen that was tied to death and gave it to Zeng Yiqian, who was closest to her.
Zeng Yiqian's face stiffened for a moment, and finally took the hen with an expressionless face, staring at the hen's sharp beak with his eyes, for fear that he would be pecked if he missed a second.
Yuan San saw that he took the chicken, and couldn't help laughing in his heart, the girl is a strong person, and she won't like this kind of weak little scholar.
Xu Yunjin knew that things would be like this, and he knew that he couldn't refuse, so he had to ask Yuan San to pack up the things they sent.
Fortunately, there were few people in the village, otherwise their carriage would not have fitted.
