Chapter 66: Resist Huo Ran's contact with the little sister
Jiang's mother handed the package behind her to Jiang Zhi, and took out a silver ticket from her arms: "When you go out, don't treat yourself badly; Pen, ink, paper, and inkstone must be there. ”
Although Jiang's mother is more frugal, she has never treated Jiang Zhi and Jiang Xuan badly in terms of food and clothing.
Nowadays, not everyone can study, and they need to go through layers of assessment to be eligible for being selected for Wutong Academy; After the election of Wutong Academy, he went to the capital to take the exam, and maybe he could enter the palace as an official.
But if there is an official in the family, that is the ancestor who burns high incense, and the ancestor can get ahead for generations.
There are only a dozen villages around the town that can enter the Wutong Academy; However, the Jiang family entered two, and the chances of becoming an official in Beijing expanded.
When Jiang Zhi saw the numbers on the silver ticket, he was speechless in shock.
Jiang Xuan also noticed Jiang Zhi's strange appearance, and looked at it, this was a silver ticket of fifty taels; In this era of locust plague and lack of food, fifty taels can be described as a huge amount of money.
Looking at the large amount of silver tickets, Jiang Zhi's eyes were scarlet, presumably because everyone tightened their belts and saved money for him and his second brother; Look at the little sister, she has lost so much weight.
Jiang Zhi, who has always loved his little sister, was so moved that he was choked up: "Mother, my second brother and I will write a commission book when we have time, and when we accumulate a certain amount, we will sell it to Wupinzhai, you don't have to worry about me and my second brother eating and wearing." ”
As he spoke, he took out a tael of silver from his arms and handed it to Jiang Mi: "This is what I got from writing a book for half a month, and I bought some new clothes for my little sister." ”
"Let you take it and take it, Sensei says so much nonsense; If you don't have one or two pieces of silver, you won't starve to death. Jiang's mother looked impatient and insisted on stuffing the silver ticket into Jiang Zhi's arms.
Recently, there is plenty of money, although it cannot be publicized, but this does not hinder a mother's love for her child.
Jiang Xuan looked at the silver ticket, his eyes were dark, and he didn't say anything from beginning to end.
Even if the Jiang family is frugal and uses it well, they may not be able to raise a huge amount of fifty taels after a few months of saving.
His eyes fell on Jiang Mi, who was ruddy; Although the little sister has lost a lot of weight, when her complexion is ruddy, her complexion is healthy, white and tender, and her natural temperament may not be comparable to that of the little sister even if she is a young lady in the town.
Thinking like this, Jiang Xuan became more and more sure of what had happened to the Jiang family in the past few days?
Jiang Mi felt the second brother's blazing eyes, only felt that it was very infiltrating, and smiled wryly, with an unnatural expression: "Second brother, why are you staring at me like this?" Is there something on my face? ”
For some reason, she felt that the second brother's eyes had an illusion of penetrating the soul.
Jiang Xuan, who was caught, retracted his gaze and rubbed Jiang Mi's fluffy hair dotingly: "No, my little sister looks so good, I just want to take a few more looks." ”
Hearing the second brother say this, Jiang Mi still couldn't relax her tense emotions.
The second brother has a delicate mind, and he is the most hidden among the three elder brothers, always looking gentle, but he has 800 hearts.
remembered that she was bullied by the children in the same village before, Brother En just silently wiped her wounds and stopped the third brother who wanted to be angry for herself; I still had a little grudge against my second brother before, but my sister was bullied but became a turtle with a shrunken head.
Who knew that the next day, the child who bullied her rubbed off a large piece of skin on his forehead, wrists, and knees, and looked particularly infiltrating; If it weren't for the fact that she didn't worry about following the past that day, she probably wouldn't have known in this life that the second brother, who has always had a gentle personality, was actually a two-faced person.
Even so, Jiang Mi did not have a problem with her because of this, but became closer and closer to several brothers in the family.
As if sensing the strangeness of the little sister, Jiang Xuan smiled dotingly: "Don't be afraid." ”
Turning his head to look at his mother who was chatting with Jiang Zhi, he asked, "Mother, has something happened at home recently?" ”
Jiang Mu didn't intend to hide it, and briefly described the ins and outs of the matter during this time.
When Jiang Zhi heard this, he was immediately furious, his muscles burst out, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Village Chief Yang's old turtle calf is simply too deceitful!" ”
actually dared to take advantage of his absence to bully his little sister and drive away his father and mother.
Jiang Xuan's eyes were dark, and his thin lips were slightly pursed, it seemed that this Yang Village Chief couldn't stay.
There is also the woman who does not know whether to live or die, since she does not listen to persuasion, she will reap the consequences.
Jiang Mi beckoned indifferently: "My father and mother and I live very comfortably in Hongyang Village, and the villagers treat us very kindly, I think it is much better than Qingyun Village, don't be angry with the two brothers." ”
She felt that she would be better off without Qingyun Village.
"That's it! You don't have to be surprised, your little sister and I are going to buy some chickens and ducks later, if you have anything to say, say it quickly. Mother Jiang sat in the gazebo and drank sugar water, urging in her mouth.
Stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and complained in his heart, this damn weather, still let people live?
Jiang Zhi glanced at his mother, and dragged Jiang Mi to a small shady corner like a thief, muttering and muttering like opening a chatterbox.
Jiang Mi also listened patiently to the third brother's confession, and a soft smile appeared on her face from time to time.
Looking at the harmonious scene, the corners of Jiang Xuan's mouth were slightly hooked, his long legs were long, and he sat opposite Jiang's mother, and said in a gentle tone: "Aren't there a few old hens at home, why do you suddenly want to buy them again?" ”
"Ugh." Mother Jiang sighed, when he said this, he was angry, gritted his teeth and said: "Chickens can suppress locust larvae and eggs, some time ago Honey found a large number of locust eggs and larvae in the field, and if this continues, the rice will be eaten by those bad things sooner or later." ”
If it weren't for honey, she wouldn't have figured it out?
Thinking of the little sister's smart eyes, Jiang Xuan's eyes were full of smiles, and her tone was soft: "Since it was said by the little sister, and it is beneficial to rice, then buy a few more chickens." ”
The two chatted about interesting things at home during this time, and Jiang Xuan understood the general situation clearly; Including Huo Ran's matter.
"Did that man find his background?" Jiang Xuan frowned slightly, and approached the little sister three times and twice, I am afraid that he has an intention for the little sister.
"That Huo Gongzi is an unusual person, I can't wait for an ordinary peasant, and I can't find out why; Not bad people. "Mother Jiang's impression of Huo Ran is not bad.
Of course, if Huo Gongzi had less eyebrows at her daughter, his impression might be better.
"No matter what the man's identity is, it's better to let the little sister have less contact; Mother doesn't want my little sister to get involved in the backyard of the deep palace, right? "He and the third child are studying outside, and they have heard a little about the backyard of the deep palace; Huo Ran's origin is unknown, so it's better to have less contact.
Compared with marrying into the backyard, Dafu is expensive and inferior; He hopes that his little sister can live a peaceful life without illness or disaster.
Jiang Mu nodded thoughtfully: "That's nature." ”
