Lijia Village, inside Li's house.

"I don't know where your eldest brother and they went? It's been all these days, and I haven't had a letter." Wang muttered next to Mingmei.

Li Mingmei: "Mother, eldest brother, they are rushing for the exam, and they may not meet the right opportunity to send the letter back. If your sister-in-law is here, you can rest assured."

Wang thought that Zhao Yunlan was a lot more relieved.

At this time, Li Mingli hurriedly ran in, "Mother, I'll go to Zhaojiagou to see the wood."

Wang: "Go ahead, remember to bring those fine cotton to your aunt, and some tea, your Uncle Zhao likes to drink."

"Ah, okay. Little sister, you can help me keep an eye on the school for the past two days." Li Mingli said as he walked out.

Wang shouted, "Your sister is a girl, what's the matter with running out every day! You're going to watch it with someone else."

Li Mingli stopped: "Oh, I'm not worried about changing people, isn't it that my little sister is still helping me keep accounts, it's more convenient, and I'll go for one night and come back tomorrow."

Wang said solemnly, "No!"

Li Mingli sighed and suddenly raised his head: "Then I'll ask my father to help me watch." After saying that, he ran away.

Wang shook his head, "Your dad is a flea too."

Li Mingmei didn't dare to echo Wang's words, but she couldn't help but smile.

"Mother, little sister, what are you laughing at?" Wu Yi came over with Niu Niu in his arms.

"Oh, it's not that Mingli is unreliable. How did you get the child out?" Wang looked at Niu Niu and was overjoyed.

Wu Yi: "It's a good day, take him out to bask in the sun."

Wang took Niu Niu and looked at the little man in his arms and sighed. At the beginning, his body was like that, and he lived a life with today and no tomorrow, who would have thought that he could still pick up the second child and coax him now. All this is thanks to Yun Lan, this sigh began to worry about Yun Lan and Li Mingren again.

Wang put aside the matter in his mind and handed Niu Niu back to Wu Yi.

"Yuqing's wedding date is coming, and I'm thinking about putting some makeup on her. What can you say?" Wang asked the two beside him.

The family also knew more or less about Mingli and the reason why the Wang family did this.

Li Mingmei said, "Then let's make a pair of bracelets for Sister Yuqing!"

Wang nodded and looked at Wu Yi.

Wu Yi thought, "Well, my sister-in-law gave me something before, saying that it was a makeup gift for Yuqing." Wu Yi instructed the red warbler to go back and get it.

After a while, Hongying took it, it was a book that Li Mingren had studied before, and there were many notes written on it, which should still be useful for Li Yuqing's in-laws. Wang smiled, and sure enough, Yunlan was thoughtful.

At that time, Zhao Yunlan said that he would send some exam materials to Li Yuqing to bring over, so he asked Li Mingren to pick a few books, and he was reluctant to take Li Mingren's one, and in the end, Zhao Yunlan had this book with both soft and hard work. This is a copy that Li Mingren spent several days recopiing. This is a search of ~

Perhaps only readers can understand the preciousness of knowledge, although Zhao Yunlan has also read for many years, but unlike the environment in which Li Mingren lives, the knowledge of Zhao Yunlan's era is at his fingertips, as long as he has the heart to learn, he can learn. And here, just as Mrs. Liu has taught Li Mingren so many times, but she doesn't want to accept Li Mingren for so long.

….

Wang put the book away: "Then make a pair of gold bracelets, and add this book."

Time flashed by, and all of a sudden it was October.

Today is Li Yuqing's makeup day, originally the peasant family didn't pay attention to these, but in the past two years, the village has been better, and the marriage in the family has been much grander. And Li Yuqing's in-laws this time are also considered good people in the town, so they have this makeup.

The Wang family brought Li Mingmei here, and as soon as they entered the house, they were invited to sit in the main seat, all of them were from a villager, and the Wang family was not willing to pay attention to these etiquettes, so he sat on the side seat next to him.

Li Mingmei was really bored at home and wanted to come out to have fun, so she followed the Wang family to the village chief's house. Wang thought about his own girl

is also older, it is time to understand these things, so he took Mingmei out together.

Wang watched everyone take out makeup gifts, some were fabrics, some were cages, and some were quilts, all of which were made of good materials, and they could also be used after getting married. Of course, there are also jewelry, silver hairpins, earrings, etc.

These makeup gifts are all piled up in the house at a glance or a little shocking, it is indeed too much, in addition to the relatives of the village chief's family, there are some good relations in the village, even the next village also came, it can be seen that the village chief's popularity is still very good.

When Wang took out the prepared makeup, there was a burst of exclamations in the room, and the peasant family exclaimed that the pair of gold bracelets, and some people who had read and knew a few words were exclaiming the book. It was a book that was admitted to the book that the master had read.

Li Chunsheng and Wang Guifang had a smug look on their faces, this is for their daughters to have a long face, and there are books in the dowry, so they will definitely be looked at by the Shi family, who supports the scholars. Not to mention that this book is really useful to Shi Baohua.

Wang Guifang: "Oh, girl, you're too valuable."

Wang: "Sister, what are you talking about, Yuqing was originally grown up by me."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and said no more.

Wang took Li Mingmei to lunch at the village chief's house and went home.

As soon as he stepped into the house, he saw that Li Mingli was about to go out.

"Third, where are you going?"

"Mother, I have to go to Zhaojiagou, the wood over there is not enough in the ancestral hall, I'll order some more."

Wang waved his hand, and Li Mingli took He Wu and Zheng Tian to drive the ox cart away.

In Shangyang County, Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren ate in the inn. It can be seen that Shangyang County is larger than Xihe County, and the people here have a better life.

After eating, Li Mingren wanted to go to the dart bureau to hire a dart master, which had been discussed before. As soon as he entered the city, Ye Sheng went to inquire about the fact that there was a dart game in Shangyang City, called Tengma Dart Bureau.

"Does the guest want to deliver a letter or a gift?" A shopkeeper came out and asked Li Mingren, seeing that Li Mingren stood outside the dart board with two boys for a long time and didn't come in.

Li Mingren walked: "No. I want to give it away."

Shopkeeper Yu invited Li Mingren in and asked the handyman of the dart bureau to bring tea.

"How do you want to deliver it, and where do you want it to be delivered?"

Li Mingren: "Just send me, I'm going to Beijing."

Shopkeeper Yu said: "Listening to the accent, the guest should be from another county, this is the first time to hire a dart, right?"

….

Li Mingren couldn't help but nodded, and the next moment he was a little annoyed that he had exposed his ignorance, worried that he would be slaughtered by the shopkeeper.

Shopkeeper Yu saw Li Mingren's worries, and said with a smile: "Guests can rest assured, we keep our promise and will not disclose the news of our guests. However, before we do that, we need to be informed of some basic information."

Li Mingren looked at the shopkeeper Yu, and he didn't notice the malice before he spoke: "I'm going to Beijing, there are six of us, and there are female dependents, and there are no children."

Li Mingren didn't say what he was doing in Beijing, and Shopkeeper Yu should have guessed when he watched Li Mingren's behavior. If the guest doesn't say, the shopkeeper Yu won't ask.

"Guest, then I'll tell you about this dart. Generally speaking, we have two kinds here, one is a team of dart masters to escort you to Beijing to protect your personal safety and family property. The dart team is mainly based on the requirements of guests.

The other is to follow the dart, that is, there is a dart that goes to Beijing together, and you follow. This only protects your own safety, and if your belongings are in danger, the dart master will not help, and you have to follow the itinerary of the dart team."

Li Mingren thought about it, then the first type must be a lot more expensive, Li Mingren asked, "What do you say about the prices of these two?"

Shopkeeper Yu said: "The first one depends on how many dart masters you hire, generally at least one team, there are eight dart masters in a team, and then calculate the distance, if you go to the capital to hire a team of dart masters, it will be about the same, the price is four hundred taels of silver."

Li Mingren gasped, four hundred taels! It's so expensive, you can buy a house in Xihe County.

Shopkeeper Yu looked at it

Seeing Li Mingren's expression, he said calmly, "In the second case, the price is cheaper, only one hundred and sixty taels of silver."

After listening to four hundred taels, it is not so harsh to listen to this one hundred and sixty taels.

Li Mingren didn't know how to choose for a while, and sat in the chair with a blank brain.

Shopkeeper Yu continued: "If the guest does not have a lot of valuable luggage, you can choose the second option, after all, it has been quite peaceful in recent years, and there are few dangers on the road. In a turbulent year, the first choice of four hundred or two is not enough. None of our dart masters here are fists and legs, so they also put their lives on the line to earn this money."

Li Mingren nodded: "I'd better go back and discuss it first."

Shopkeeper Yu said, "Okay, but we will have a dart to the capital the day after tomorrow, if you discuss it, you can reply earlier."

Li Mingren turned around and left, Ye Sheng and He Wen were dumbfounded after Li Mingren, they didn't expect this dart game to be so expensive.

The three masters and servants were stunned by the price, so the three of them forgot that Zhao Yunlan had told them to buy some needed items to replenish in their luggage.
