Qiao Maoshu saw Xiao Qing's kindness with a smile, and his words were reasonable, and nodded silently.

"Okay, auntie, I'll tell my father and mother about the land when I go back."

Xiao Qing didn't get up, and looked at Qiao Hong: "Brother Hong, you go and send you Brother Maoshu, he will go back at night to help you ask about entering the academy." ”

Qiao Hong hummed and got up to deliver Qiao Maoshu.

The two walked to the gate of the courtyard, Qiao Maoshu looked back at Qiao Hong, and said in an unkind tone: "Let's go!" ”

Qiao Hong clasped his fists and saluted: "Let's go!" ”

After saying that, he turned around and went back to the yard.

Qiao Maoshu stood behind him and suddenly spoke: "By the way, Brother Hong, on October 5th, Yaoshan Academy will hold a triennial autumn calligraphy and painting exhibition, and everyone in the academy will participate, because all the literati in Daqing will come to Yaoshan on that day, including the first two Enke champions, the top students of Guozijian, and Xie Yuan Jinshi from various states and counties. One day, maybe you will be able to go to Guozijian to study, if you can beat them in the competition, and you are selected by the mountain chief, maybe you will be sent directly to Guozijian! At that time, if you are the first in Kaozhou County, you will have the opportunity to enter the entrance examination, but this opportunity is only for the students of Yaoshan Academy, and other private schools and individuals have no chance. ”

After he finished speaking, he boarded the carriage, stared at Qiao Hong coldly, tightened the reins of the horse, turned the horse's head, scolded 'driving' and left.

Qiao Hong listened to his words, his face was envious, although he deliberately said it to him, but even if there was no autumn calligraphy and painting exhibition, it was a great blessing for him to have the opportunity to discuss knowledge with Enke Zhuangyuan, he was too eager to hear different opinions from them, and heard someone tell him the truth in the book, how to cultivate himself, how to govern the country, he had too many questions in his heart that needed to be solved.

It's a pity that he didn't go, Yaoshan Academy was too expensive, their family couldn't afford his annual expenses, and they didn't know anyone from Yaoshan Academy, so he didn't have that opportunity in his life.

He stood there and looked at Qiao Maoshu's back stupidly for a long time, if they could be exchanged, how good it would be, even if it was only for that day, how good it would be to see those people!

Xiao Qing saw Qiao Hong standing at the gate of the courtyard for a long time, his melancholy figure was lonely and depressed, and after listening to Qiao Maoshu's words, this kid wanted to enter the academy and wanted to be in a daze.

After a few breaths, Qiao Hong turned back, Xiao Qing put down the dustpan and asked, "Brother Hong, why is it lifeless?" What did Maoshu say to Ling when he left? ”

Qiao Hong didn't want to bother his mother because he couldn't enter the academy, so he smiled and said, "I didn't say anything, just let me wait for him at home." ”

Xiao Qing saw the loss in his eyes, how could Qiao Maoshu really help him ask, if he wanted to help him, why did he do it two years earlier?

She didn't say much, just said, "Yaoshan Academy is actually not difficult to enter, if you want to go!" ”

Qiao Hong shook his head and smiled: "Mother, I don't want to go, Brother Mao Shu seems to have changed in Yaoshan, I'm afraid that I will change if I go in!" ”

Xiao Qing saw that his smile was a little bitter, was he worried about her family's economy?

"Stupid, you are a child of the old Qiao family, why did you change when you entered Yaoshan Academy? What kind of person Maoshu was originally, but now he is older and has shown it. Xiao Qing smiled and said, "Brother Hong, if you want to go to Yaoshan Academy, just tell your mother, don't worry about other things?" ”

Qiao Hong nodded, didn't speak, took out the university from his waist, hid aside and continued to read his book, but he couldn't turn the page after reading it.

……

Here, the Qin family and Qiao Erjing came to Yuliang Village.

As soon as I arrived in Yuliang Village, some villagers sat at the entrance of the village and greeted them with a smile.

"Sister Lan is back?" Uncle Muraguchi took the initiative to ask with a smile.

Qin responded with a smile: "Yes, Uncle Da Lin." ”

"Look at the food and meat on the car, and you're here to deliver food and meat to your father and mother again?" The woman next to Uncle Da Lin said.

Qin Shi smiled and hummed.

In the past, when she came home, she knew that she came to ask her father and mother to borrow food, and no one in the village smiled and talked to her, but only pointed at her, and now she entered the village all the way, and the aunts took the initiative to say hello to her and greeted her warmly.

Qin got out of the donkey cart and came to the gate of the courtyard, Qin and Qiao Erjing moved the millet and meat out of the car, and she also brought some candied fruit and preserved fruit for the children to eat.

These days, Qiao Erjing took advantage of his mother's absence to come twice and sent some money and food, as well as wild vegetables, and the old Qin family ate all of them on the Qin family.

As soon as he approached the courtyard, he heard the woman in the house urging him.

"Brother Qiao, you listen to your father's advice, your sister said, every time the food will only be given to her, and the money will also be given to her, if you take Liang Xia off, then what will our family eat in the future? If you lie down and can't move, your father and mother will starve to death by you. Qin Lan's mother, Sun Shi, complained.

"Mother, that slut, how do you see her talking, how do you serve me? In the past few days, I have been lying here, and she feels more and more that she is amazing, and she has a straight face when she serves me a meal, and her mouth is not clean and says that I am useless, I slapped her, and dared to fight back...... Mother, look at my arm, I was slapped by her at noon, and she is still red, what do you say our family still keeps her to do? Looking at her face every day in the future, make me angry? Qin Qiao asked loudly.

"You gave her a leave, what about your sister-in-law's money and food? What about my eldest grandchildren? Don't eat or drink? Sun asked loudly.

"Regardless of him, brute, a woman can't beat him, and now he's being bullied like this by a woman, he deserves to lie there!" Qin He pointed at Qin Qiao's face and scolded: "If you say goodbye to Liang Xia, I would rather not have this useless son, if you drive her away, I will even throw you out, my father and mother have raised you all your life, and I still expect you to be filial, who do we count on when you lie there?" This family is not your decision, if you dare to leave Liang Xia, I will dare to throw you to Yaoshan! Bastard, it's not your turn to call the shots in this family! ”

"Dad, mother, I am your own son!" Qin Qiao shouted loudly.

"Yes and what? You still expect us to feed you now, and you dare to leave Liang Xia, and say it again, I'll suck you in the mouth! Qin He said.

Qin Qiao stared at the second elder with wide eyes, and his mouth was cold: "Dad......"

Qin Lan and Qiao Erjing outside heard this and walked in with their things.

"What's wrong with big brother? Why do you talk to your father like this? Qin Lan asked with a smile.

Qiao Erjing stood at the door with the food, shouting: "Daddy, big brother......"

Seeing that the Qin family was carrying something in his hand, Sun Shi smiled on his face: "Oh, Xiaolan is here, come with me to the hall, come with me to the hall, go and follow me to the hall......"

Qin Lan was pulled by the Sun family and was about to go to her house, but Qin Lan didn't follow, so she stood in the sister-in-law's house and asked, "Mother, what about the sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law?" ”
