Chapter 417: A Surprise Gift
Ding Xue is slightly grateful, but if her mind becomes a burden in the eyes of others, it will lose the meaning of her heart.
Ying Hexia turned around and asked about the Wu scholar mentioned by Mrs. Xu before.
Not long after arriving in Kaixian, the Xu family lived in a slum due to a series of changes, and in the following years, Mrs. Xu made a living by washing clothes for busy middle-class families in the city.
In the late spring and early winter, she would go out of the city at noon every day to collect wild vegetables and mushrooms, and the days of the two grandmothers and grandchildren lived tightly.
To put it mildly, they simply don't have time to contact the upper echelons.
Readers, the level of social status is not so low!
"This Wu scholar is also a hard-working man..."
At the age of three, he could write, at the age of seven, he began to write poems, at the age of eight, he encountered bandits on the way to the government for the exam, his father and his entourage were all killed, and at the age of eleven, the orphan and widow were driven out of the house by his ruthless uncle, and his mother died at the age of twelve, his wife died at the age of seventeen, and the last person in the Yue family died violently before he was twenty years old.
Five out of thirty married the second room, and the second daughter-in-law's family died in less than forty, leaving the rumors of loneliness and widowhood, and then living on the rent of the house left by the mother's family of the two wives.
When he lived to 60, he opened a school on a whim, and because of the low fees, he attracted four children from slum families to go to school.
"That is, he has nothing to worry about?" Ding Xuewei became interested.
It was the first time she had heard of a person with such a twist and turn, and it was difficult for her not to wonder if she was disgusted by this Heavenly Dao!
Ding Xuewei's performance was too obvious, and the gaze that she couldn't wait to visit now made her heart palpitate.
Mrs. Xu hurriedly interrupted her thoughts.
"Although I don't believe in anything, but Wu Xue can't be messed with, his cousin, don't allow him to be good!"
"Huh?" What do you mean?
"I heard that his cousin was jealous of his talent and didn't want him to come out, so he kept suppressing him, that is, because there was such a family that didn't want him to be good, he didn't even go out of the city gate again." Mrs. Xu is not a gossip person, but powerful people can't afford to mess with this, but they understand this better than anyone else!
"His uncle, after encroaching on all the Wu family's properties, is doing well. After the Wu family was handed over to his son, the development trend was even more amazing, and now he is a well-known rich family in the city. โ
Afraid that the wall had ears, she suddenly approached Ding Xuewei mysteriously.
"I heard that he has a good relationship with the officials in the government, and the affairs of Wu Xuexue's two wives and mothers' families are related to him."
Money can make ghosts grind, and officials crush people to death.
After losing the financial support, he was deliberately suppressed, not to mention any connection with the officials in the city, even if he didn't, the Wu family could bully this Wu scholar to death!
The so-called widowhood personality is just a deliberate act of a caring person!
"What does Grandma think of our family's relationship?" Ding Xuewei's face was a little strange.
"Ugh!"
Mrs. Xu was stunned.
The relationship between the Wu family may be very good, but compared to the Ding family, it is simply a small thing.
The Ding family, that is the family of the prince of the dynasty who is very polite!
"You are tired these days, go back and let people send the letter first, we will rest here for two more days, and the day after tomorrow I will go to find Wu Xuexue, if he is willing to join us, he will invite him over."
โยทยทยท Will it make people hold grudges? Mrs. Xu was very entangled.
Ding Xue restrained slightly, and did not show any smug sarcasm.
"I have made the squires and rich families of the entire Fengcheng Mansion hold a grudge, and I really don't have much to worry about. Grandma, a scholar is rare, and it is even more rare to be able to talk about it than to give a thumb. His expression turned around, and his eyes revealed a bit of purity: "Climb up to me, the Wu family may feel lucky." โ
At the very least, in the past two years, sweet potatoes have been a rarity, and it is difficult for those who know how to study not to seize the opportunity.
Mrs. Xu is a person who understands, Ding Xuewei did this, and she immediately turned a corner.
In order to completely reassure her, Ding Xuewei continued: "Ming'er, my fifth uncle and I will go into the yamen to inquire, to see where the Wu family is low, if you can go a little, go a little bit, if not, I will ask the prefect to come forward, at the end of each month, I have to go to the government to report." โ
How did King Yi deal with her kidnapping, but anyone with eyes could see it, Ding Lao Wu went to say hello, as long as there was no water in his head, it was impossible to protect the Wu family, and people with a certain status were more afraid of power than poor people.
Although the Ding family is not a power, it has a power relationship!
Ding Xuewei knew very well that things would not be hindered, so saying this just made Mrs. Xu feel more relieved.
"Then there will be your fifth uncle."
Mrs. Xu couldn't sleep, and it was impossible for Ding Xue to say more, so she chatted a few more words and let people leave.
Out of the courtyard of the Xu family's grandmother, Ding Xuewei went back directly to Yang Lao's side.
The Ding family's father and son rested early after dinner, which would only disturb her in the past.
When Ding Xuewei returned to the courtyard, Yang Lao was not there, and after waiting until no one was seen, he freshened up and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, the door opened, and Yang Lao was in a good mood in the courtyard.
His gaze shifted from his face to his hand to the side of the table.
The knife was the knife she took out at that time, and the scissors were also taken out at that time.
This old man really went to be a thief yesterday!
"Uncle~" Ding Xue's eyes rolled slightly, and she approached.
The old man didn't know what to think, and suddenly put away the scissors on the table.
Ding Xuewei, who was deliberate, was suddenly full of black lines, and her rebellious heart was eager to try.
"You only brought these two things back?"
"You can also chase back those who were sent to the same county." The old man has bad intentions.
Ding Xue was slightly surprised: "You always let people send extra things to the same county?!" โ
Wouldn't it be too fast!
Yesterday I would tell Mrs. Xu that she would have to rest here for a few more days, and the real meaning of this was to give him and his Chen Yu, and selling or living in a big way was the best way to remove her hat from knowing and not reporting.
She only met the grandmother's people on the front foot, and the back foot was kidnapped, and she didn't have time to say no even if she wanted to.
It's normal to be frightened and forgetful, if it weren't for Ding Lao Wu who had been messing around with the officials in the yamen during this time, she wouldn't have to pay for this trip today!
Looking at the old man's face, this speed is not fast.
For a moment, Ding Xue was slightly curious: "Can the yamen still clean up things here?" โ
"If that person only puts things in Willow Head Lane, it shouldn't be." The old man was in a good mood, and his attitude was kind.
Ding Xuewei mourned for those people for three seconds.
Furrowed his brows, with a thoughtful look: "I didn't ask how many people he gave to." โ
"There should be a lot, and the people who entered the yamen before and handed it in are quite far away from Liutou Lane." The old man paused to wipe his hand, and stared at Ding Xuewei with ill intentions.
"One day as a teacher and a father for life, don't you want to get rid of me." She saw the old man's thoughts in a second: "My smart and lovely apprentice might as well be some broken copper and iron?" โ
โยทยทยท Your cheekiness is better than the back of this knife. Yang Lao retracted his gaze and looked at the knife again.
Seriously, most people are ashamed of the intelligence of the little girl in front of them.
Of course, the thickness of her face is not comparable to ordinary people.
"Where."
I didn't know that Ding Xuewei's words made him happy, and with a touch of his hand, a touch of bright red smacked Ding Xuewei's face.
Ding Xue subconsciously let go.
The old man snorted in disgust.
Ding Xue hurriedly caught the silk scarf, unfolded it and looked at the red flowers and green leaves, and her face turned green.
She took out so many silk scarves, which looked much better, but this old man brought her such a piece of dirt and scum.
"Master, do you always think that you are omnipotent, the best in the world?" Shaking the peony on the silk scarf, Ding Xuewei really wanted to perform an open surgery on this old man to see how arrogant and arrogant he had in his head!
"This is a peony, a red peony, only the main palace lady in the palace is worthy!"
The author has a lot of descriptions of rank, what is red can only be worn by Mrs. Zhengtou, peony is only worthy of the wife of the official family, red peony is only qualified by the mother of the country in the palace, etc., she is too impressed!
"You can take it back." She kneaded it and threw it back to Yang Lao.
The old man's face was ugly.
staring at Ding Xuewei's eyes, revealing revealing ruthlessness.
Ding Xuewei's neck choked.
"If you don't like it yourself, you can bring it to me, and you can blame my family for not having the ability to even use a silk scarf?"
You're angry, I'm angrier than you.
Ding Xuewei obviously didn't listen to Chen Yu's mention, and complained with her mouth open.
"You have a lot of skills, but I'm just a little kid who has no power to tie the chicken, and I don't dare to buy a few more acres of land, this silk scarf is the knife that fell on my neck, and I don't know when I will give my little brain melon seed for the time being. It's hard for you to meet such a cute and loving apprentice as me, can't you think that you are so confused? โ
"If it's gone, it's gone." The old man's hand turned over and pinched, and the silk scarves gathered into a ball.
Ding Xue, who originally wanted to howl a few words, was slightly silent, and she snatched the silk scarf from her.
Open it, hey, good guys, it's like a ravioli pinched by an old hand.
The folds are noticeable but tightly clumped.
This old man's strength is too great!
Silently, she took a few steps back and touched her neck.
The old man's gaze is very happy!
"Hehe, Master, it's not easy to find an apprentice like me, so I'll give you something to eat."
Thirty-six strategies, Ding Xuewei felt that the soles of her feet were oiled at the most time, and she ran out as soon as she choked on people.
A roar every day, begging for tickets, asking for collections...
