"Brother Qing is back in the next two days, right?"

When Chen Qing was still outside the courtyard outside the door, he heard the familiar voice of his sister-in-law, and it was rare to have the opportunity to eavesdrop on the corner of the wall, so he paused and stopped outside the door.

The woman with a round waist and yellow skin in the courtyard was Chen Qing's sister-in-law Luo Xiu, looking at the familiar figure, a trace of surprise flashed in Chen Qing's eyes.

I still remember that I had just been studying at that time, and when my sister-in-law married in, she was white and delicate, and she didn't look like the daughter that the Zhuang family could raise.

It is said that the sister-in-law is the youngest daughter in her mother's family, and she is extremely favored, and she has never worked in the field since she was a child.....

"Ah, I think I'll be back in the next two days."

The voice of the reply was his wife, the old lady is actually not very old, and she is only in her early forties, if it is placed in the modern times, many top stars are still robbing the boudoir girl at this age, but at this time, the woman in the courtyard looks extremely vicissitudes, saying that it is a sixty-year-old woman, I am afraid that some people believe it.

Chen Qing looked sad, if it weren't for his own study, the Chen family, which has fifty acres of fertile land, should have lived well even if his father was gone, where would he force the whole family to move to the county town and grind tofu for a living?

Since ancient times, the three major chores, striking iron, supporting boats, and grinding tofu, have only been a few years? The old lady and sister-in-law are so old that they almost can't recognize them.....

"It's fast, it's almost ......" The old lady smiled and poured the already made tofu brain into the tofu rack covered with gauze, skillfully wrapped and compacted, and did the final process of tofu.

"Mother..... The sister-in-law asked while helping: "Brother Qing is about to become an official, why are you still working so hard?" ”

"Isn't this a waste of the dozens of catties of soybeans I bought a few days ago.....?" The old lady smiled and said: "Just push this last time, daughter-in-law, after this time, it will be a good day for the future....."

"Yes Yes ....." Luo Xiu replied with a smile, but there was apprehension in his eyes.

When I entered the door, this mother-in-law coaxed herself like this, what Brother Qing is a showman, our good days are coming, our family has more than 50 acres of good land, but it is Brother Qing'er and his father became a showman and became a gentleman, and he slowly earned the family business.

So he helped to go to the field, tired and tired to fight for a better life in the future.

Brother Qing was admitted to Xiucai, but the good days were different from what her mother-in-law began to say.

"Daughter-in-law, listen to me, our brother Qing'er is a twelve-year-old Xiucai, this look is a seedling of lifting people, can you not be satisfied at this time, you have to continue to offer, and if you are admitted to raise people, your life is different from the Xiucai who teaches in the ordinary village, not to mention being an official, at least it is also a county school teaching, decent, you also have to think about the child in the belly, if there is a lifting uncle, won't your child also have a place to study in the future?"

At that time, after two years of suffering, she heard her mother-in-law say that she would not honor it, she was going to be angry, but when she heard the other party say this, it seems to be very reasonable.

And if you give birth to a daughter, you can marry better if you marry someone with the help of an uncle.....

Thinking about it like this, she continued to endure it, Brother Qing lived up to expectations, and he was really admitted to the lifting of people.

But the ideal good life still did not come, not only not good, but worse, in order to provide Chen Qing to go to school, go to Beijing to catch the exam, the foundation of the family was almost all hollowed out, and the fifty acres of good land were not left for himself and her husband, and they were sold out.

The family moved to the county seat, rented a small remote house, and grinded tofu, which was another three years!

"Daughter-in-law....." After the old woman wrapped the tofu, she smiled and took the other party's hand and found a place to sit down.

This tone was extremely friendly, but it made Luo Xiu have goosebumps all over his body!

Because this is the tone of the mother-in-law every time she fools herself into continuing to be a cow and horse.....

But Brother Qing has already been admitted to the Jinshi, she has never read a book, but she knows that she will survive the end of studying and being admitted to the Jinshi, right?

Could it be that there is any other way to say it?

"Daughter-in-law, let's go out of our brother....."

"Yes, yes, my mother is right, Brother Qing has a great future!" Luo Xiu replied with a smile, but his heart was full of vigilance.

"Brother Qing has become an official, and our family's good days are behind us."

Luo Xiu was shocked, why are the good days still to come?

"Originally, I heard Huang Fuzi say, our brother Qing'er article is not calm, at most we will take the test with a fellow jinshi, this with the jinshi, most of them are sent to a remote place to be a magistrate, which is enough for our family, but Brother Qing'er is promising, I heard the people who reported the good news, and I actually took the second grade!"

"Er..... what's wrong with Erjia?" Luo Xiu was a little wordy when he spoke.

"This second class is very likely to stay in the capital as an official!" The old woman looked excited: "This capital is a good place, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are many good things, in the future, our family and Brother Qing will stay in the capital together, maybe we can let your child go to the national prison, and Erya can also pick someone in the capital in the future, and it is better than Liuzhou to pick any one!" ”

"Really? That's a good thing! Russell replied with a smile, but there was no joy on his face.

"But ......"

Russell's face collapsed in an instant, she knew, she knew that there was a 'but'!!

"This capital is where the Son of Heaven lives, every inch of land is expensive, Brother Qing has just become an official, and the money is not enough, our family's tofu craftsmanship can't be lost, we have to make a house in the capital, right?"

"Heh......"

Russell's face was pale, she understood that she and her husband still had to buy a house for Chen Qing in the capital, a house in the capital, how many years would it take to grind tofu?

Thinking of this, Russell's pale face instantly turned blue, and he was about to go crazy, when Chen Qing, who was eavesdropping at the door, hurriedly coughed lightly: "Mother, I'm back!" ”

"Brother Qing?" The old woman looked surprised, she didn't care about continuing to fool her stupid daughter-in-law, she hurriedly ran over and grabbed Chen Qing: "Why did you lose so much weight?" I'm sorry for you, kid....."

The sister-in-law behind her rolled her eyes, you went to deliver the eldest son before dawn, you are not pitiful and pitiful, this Chen Qing has fine skin and tender meat, I don't know which son-in-law I think it is, which point looks like he has suffered?

"Brother Qing is back?" Because of what her mother-in-law said just now, she was not as enthusiastic as she imagined about the returning Jinshi master, but said with a smile: "I heard that my mother said that you have a great fortune and want to be an official in the capital?" ”

Looking at the sister-in-law's look of going crazy, Chen Qing smiled bitterly in her heart, I haven't seen her for a long time, the old lady is still so good at painting cakes, and she still wants to fool her sister-in-law, this is also a proper entrepreneur qualification if it is modern.....

"No, no..... how can you stay in the capital if you want to? The county magistrate on the northern side of the county I assigned this time is here to pick up the family. ”

"County magistrate? Or the North? Before the sister-in-law could react, the old lady was surprised first.

"Son, I heard the good news that you are the master of the second class jinshi, why didn't you stay in the capital .....? But who did you offend? ”

In order to keep Huang Fuzi from hiding privately, Chen Qing's wife sent things to Huang Fuzi's family, and also heard Huang Fuzi talk about a lot of scientific examinations, according to him, the new dynasty is short of people, even if Brother Qing only took the same Jinshi, there is a high probability that he can go to a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to become an official, if he can get into the second class, there is a high probability that he can stay in Beijing.

"Mother..... Chen Qing hurriedly explained: "This scientific expedition is Enke, which is opened by the Holy Lord in order to supplement officials in the north, except for the first class, they can't stay in Beijing!" ”

"Oops, how can this be?" The old woman was so anxious that she stomped her feet and kept chanting: "If you knew earlier, you would have listened to Master Huang, let's stay up for two more years, let you wait for the next subject, it's all your eldest brother, you said that you have been arching for so many years, anxious for a while?" ”

The sister-in-law on the side almost got angry when she heard this, thanks to her own persuasion, she didn't let the dead ghost in her house continue to listen to his mother, or the family would have to boil the house in the capital for this little uncle!

Chen Qing also smiled helplessly, and hurriedly persuaded the old lady: "Mother, what's so good about staying in the capital?" The officials of sesame mung beans are full of people who can't be provoked, and they can't afford to rent a low house, and they are put out of the county, and your son is the biggest in the county, what are you talking about, our family lives in a spacious county office, isn't it? ”

"What's good?" The old woman glanced at her son: "There are many benefits in the capital, although it will be hard for a few years, but the good days are ahead!" ”

The sister-in-law rolled her eyes when she heard this, she wanted to beat someone now when she heard that the good days were ahead.....

Chen Qing also comforted the old lady with a funny face for a long time, and then looked at the sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, where is Brother Yong'er and Erya?" ”

The sister-in-law entered the door to give birth to a son and a daughter for the eldest brother, and she has been studying for so many years, although she was painted by the old lady, but the Chen family owes her is real, not to mention anything else, just being fooled by the old lady and the dowry is enough for herself..... she has to make up for it in the future.

"Brother Yong'er and his father went to deliver the goods early in the morning, and Erya and Sister Hui embroidered in the room." The sister-in-law replied with a pout.

Chen Qing was stunned, how old is Erya, and she already knows how to embroider?

Such a small girl, I don't know if I burn my eyes when I learn that every day.....

Chen Qing sighed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, you clean up, go directly to the dock to find the eldest brother, let him stop delivering today, hurry back for a reunion dinner, tomorrow morning, I will leave for my place!" ”

"In such a hurry?" The old lady was stunned: "I'm here....what about the freshly made tofu in the yard....."

"Sell it cheaply to Aunt Liu next door." Chen Qing smiled and clenched the old lady's calloused hand, sat down comfortably, and said: "The north is urgent, we can't afford to delay, get in office early and get familiar with it early, when you get there, don't grind tofu, mother, if you are bored, take care of the backyard of the county government, and make it look whatever you want, don't you envy Huang Fuzi's pool of koi?" Let's raise a pool too! ”

The old woman's eyes lit up when she heard her son say that she raised koi, but she was still unwilling to say, "You really can't stay in Beijing?" ”

"I can't keep ......" Chen Qing shook his head with a smile, if he had been a little self-motivated before, he would have tried to stay in Beijing and enter the sixth department, but now he doesn't have the slightest idea of this, those things he designed love to run to prosperous places, Wangcheng and Qianchaotiandu are definitely the hardest hit areas, and now he can hide as far as he can.

"Sister-in-law also asked Erya and Brother Yong'er to clean up." Chen Qing turned his head to look at his sister-in-law: "When I get there, I will arrange for Brother Yong'er to go to the county school, the child will be enlightened late, but it doesn't matter, I will teach in person when I am free, and our family must be for the second Jinshi to come out!" ”

"Good, good!" The sister-in-law's eyes turned into a slit when she heard this, although their family has suffered a lot for Chen Qing to study over the years, but if it is for her son, she can suffer no matter how much she suffers!

"Erya is still young, let's take it over and slowly teach some rules, it's really not good, I'll find a nurturing grandmother, teach Erya, whatever, I have to find a good family for her with a little foundation."

"Where..... where do you need to ask Mama to spend so much?" The sister-in-law hurriedly rubbed her hands when she heard it, she was very embarrassed, but she was very moved, she had suffered for so many years, she didn't want Erya to suffer like this, and her daughter was also a piece of meat born by herself, so she naturally hoped that she would have a good life in the future....

"It doesn't cost much!" Chen Qing said with a smile: "I have always kept in mind the help of my eldest brother and sister-in-law for so many years, you can rest assured, with me Chen Qing in the future, I will never let your family be wronged again....."

"..... of that" The sister-in-law's eyes were red: "Family, it's okay to say this." ”

A big stone in my heart, I finally let go of the little uncle's words, the thief's mother-in-law has fooled her cattle and horses for many years, and nine out of ten sentences are not true, but only one sentence is true, Brother Qing is not an ungrateful person!

As soon as I thought of this, the previous grievances dissipated in an instant, and after waiting for so many years, I finally saw the good days in the mouth of the thief's mother-in-law......

"You set off tomorrow morning, take the waterway, the court has sent special guards to escort you, with their proof, you can also live directly in the county government, save some money at home first, everything will wait for my son and I to come over....."

"You ..... you're not with us?" The old lady and sister-in-law asked in surprise at the same time.

"Ah.....h Chen Qing said with a smile: "There is a little errand above to explain to me, I will rush to take office as soon as I finish here, you don't have to worry, go and live first." ”

"Son....." The old woman looked at Chen Qing suspiciously: "What kind of errand, it's more important than taking office?" ”

"It's okay, it's not a big deal, it's just that there are not enough people, so I can help an adult to do it." Chen Qing still smiled and comforted her mother.

But his heart is becoming more and more determined, the good days of the family are just around the corner, and he does not allow anything to threaten his family!
