Chapter 194: Twists and Turns
"It's the kids who make the choice, me! Neither! ”
Xia Qiyue decisively rejected Pei Heng.
But at noon the next day, Pei Heng appeared in the small courtyard on time, and Xia Qiyue was a headache.
But she was not in the mood to cook food today, so she ate a homely meal at noon, and Pei Heng was not satisfied and asked to cook him a meal.
Xia Qiyue was entangled, so he made a double skin milk.
Because eggs, sugar, and milk are the most indispensable things for her, she makes a lot of them as soon as she makes them, just as afternoon tea for other people.
Pei Heng couldn't stop eating, and gave a thumbs up and said it was delicious.
Xia Qiyue shook her head, this foodie is really easy to satisfy, if there is an oven, she can actually make more delicacies.
Actually, today she is going to set up a well-dressed mound for An Zichen, although she has no feelings, at least she is still the father of the children.
But she couldn't choose the location of the tomb for a while, holding the amulet that An Zihao gave her in her hand, and she pondered it all morning, but it was Pei Heng who came over to disrupt her thoughts.
After lunch, Pei Heng left in a hurry, he had to go back to class, otherwise the master would be mad, and the gods would not be able to save him at that time.
In the afternoon, Xia Qiyue was about to buy some peanuts and come back, when he bumped into An Zihao as soon as he came out of the room, and he stood there with an embarrassed expression.
"What's wrong, Fifth Brother?" Xia Qiyue asked.
"Fourth sister-in-law, I'll go back early in the afternoon... The family that Aunt Wang told me was going to come to the door. ”
"So fast? Didn't you just tell Aunt Wang yesterday? ”
An Zihao scratched his head, "It's the orphan daughter of the old Wang family in the village who was fostered in her uncle's house, and Aunt Wang agreed as soon as she said it..."
For Xia Qiyue, he has nothing to hide, tell the truth.
But his eyes were gloomy, and there was no joy to be married.
Xia Qiyue nodded, but in her memory, she had no impression of the girl from the Wang family that An Zihao said, but she also knew that Aunt Wang would not harm them, her character should be very good, and she was an orphan girl, so there was nothing to do.
An Zihao left ahead of schedule, everything was in Xia Jiujiu's eyes, although she didn't say anything, she felt uncomfortable, she picked up the basket and went out to buy vegetables, and by the way, she diverted her attention.

Yuelai Inn!
The man, who had been in a coma until the next morning, couldn't come back to his senses for a while, and looked at the room of the inn for a long time.
Looking back, I glanced at the note next to the pillow, picked it up and looked at it, and remembered what happened last night, it was a little girl who saved him, but he fell into a coma after a while after getting into the carriage.
His brothers were all dead, and he tried his best to kill all the pursuers, and he himself was at his limit, and he was able to force himself to move to the carriage a little bit sober, and use his last strength to pull the carriage for help, which was already his maximum.
He doesn't remember what happened after he fainted.
After reading the letter, a smile broke out on the cold face that was already cloudy, and in a flash, he took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from his arms and called the shopkeeper.
"Huh? This lord, when did your wife go out? The shopkeeper asked with some curiosity.
At this time, there was nothing wrong in the room, he was also sitting on the bed, his legs were still covered with quilts, and the wound behind his thighs could not be seen, so the shopkeeper only saw that Xia Qiyue was gone.
"Ma'am?" The man's deep voice repeated.
The shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward to say good things for Xia Qiyue, after all, he also received a tip of two taels of silver.
"Yes, your wife is worried about what is wrong with your body when you are drunk, and she asked the little doctor to come and ask you for a pulse overnight! Returning you to bathe, you really have a good lady! ”
An Zichen's eyes flashed slightly, and he looked down at the clean clothes on his body and... The smell of alcohol.
"Heh... What a clever little girl—" he whispered.
The shopkeeper didn't hear clearly, and asked, "Master, do you want to bring breakfast?" ”
An Zichen looked up at the window and looked at the big dazzling sun, "When?" ”
"It's noon!" The shopkeeper replied honestly.
"Just send me something to eat!" An Zichen said.
It's noon and breakfast, if this is in the barracks, he has to pay 30 military sticks.
By the way, the gloomy and indifferent man in front of him with murderous eyes is undoubtedly Xia Qiyue's prime minister Gong Zichen, who only received the news of his death yesterday.
After Xia Qiyue sent An Zihao away, it didn't take long for Li Zheng to come over, and An Zihao brought it over.
"Fourth sister-in-law, Li Zheng met me on the street and asked me to bring her over, saying that she was taking you to get a pension!" An Zihao opened his mouth to explain first.
"Come and sit in the house, Uncle Lizheng!" Xia Qiyue got out of the way and asked Li to go in.
But Li Zheng waved his hand, "I'm not going in, you hurry up and prepare to go with me to get the pension, no matter how late it is, I won't be able to get it today!" ”
Xia Qiyue walked behind Li Zheng, holding a thick pile of pensions in her hand, a thousand taels, she couldn't believe it.
As far as she knows, it seems that the soldier's pension is only a few dozen taels, right? Why are there so many of An Zichen's?
Not only her, but even Rizheng had an expression of disbelief.
He knew how much pension a soldier would give after he died, because there was also a man in the village who joined the army and never came back, and the pension he later gave was thirty taels.
Li was walking in front, puzzled, Xia Qiyue was walking behind, but she probably knew why.
Maybe An Zichen has a military position, and his position is not low, so the pension is more than that of a small soldier.
"Zichen's family, or... This pension points..."
"Uncle Li Zheng, think about how old the children are, and then think about me as a woman, dragging two children, I still want my son to take the official career, the official road is not easy to walk! Moreover, with this silver, our family Xuan'er's career is smooth, and the whole clan will not follow the glory? Let's ask, who else in our An clan can afford to support students? ”
The implication is that if the An clan wants to stand up, they can only rely on her son.
Not to mention how smart Xuan'er is, or how many smart children there are in the clan, this tuition fee alone cannot afford it.
Li Zheng was silent, although he was moving forward, his pace was very slow, waiting for Xia Qiyue's final answer.
"Uncle Lizheng, don't worry, if my father and mother really can't eat enough or get sick, I, as a daughter-in-law, will definitely not look at it!"
Xia Qiyue didn't care about this pension, because she was about to break 10,000 taels of silver in her hand, there was no shortage of this, but the old An family was insatiable, if she told them that An Zihao's pension was 1,000 taels, then they would think that there must be more, even if 1,000 taels were given to them, they would ask her for silver in the future, endlessly.
Li Zheng suddenly came back to his senses, yes, instead of giving this silver to the old An family, it is better to let the Zichen family cultivate their son, and maybe they will be able to borrow a light in the future.
Even if it is given to Lao An's family, it is still two to say that the children in the family are not allowed to go to school, and even if they go, several grandchildren will go, then the silver will not be able to provide the head.
"Okay! If you ask, you will say that thirty taels were given, and there are examples of this! ”
The next day, after Xia Qiqi waited for An Zihao to come, he drove him to the vicinity of Baijia Village to find a grave site.
