Xu Tianxin's eyes lit up, thinking that someone wanted to order a water drip clock again.

Bai Muyan looked at Xu Tianxin and winked at him to hint at him, and suddenly felt a little deflated.

Sweeping the newly changed clothes and soap boots between his low eyebrows, Bai Muyan felt that he was even a little ridiculous.

Knowing that it is not yet what he is wearing, Xu Tianxin will pay more attention.

She couldn't feel the sweetness of his change of clothes for her at all, so what was he doing in the morning?

Fortunately, Bai Muyan still knew very well that he was pleased with Xu Tianxin first, so he couldn't ask the other party to be in the same mood as him.

Thinking about it like this, he adjusted his mood in an instant.

Bai Muyan warned himself that no matter whether Tian Xin was enlightened or not, he liked a girl, and all he could do was to be good to her. Instead of asking her to say, I'm like this to you, why don't you have any feedback?

Why do people have to give feedback, and they don't like it.

It's not like I can't control it, hey.

In Bai Muyan's opinion, this matter is still a bit like reading, you just need to know that if you don't work hard, the boss will be sad, and it must be a pity if you don't work hard. As for the rest of the results, there is really no need to worry about it, the years will tell the answer, so as not to suffer from gains and losses.

Bai Muyan stood up, looked at Xu Tianxin with a smile and asked, "How is the situation of the elders, I am here to visit." ”

It's not an excuse to order from her.

Xu Tianxin smiled and said, "I'm just awake, do you want to come in and have a look?" ”

Bai Muyan hesitated in his heart, looking at an elder who had not yet left the cabinet, he was a little awkward, and he had nothing to talk about.

But he behaved very well.

After all, there are times when you can't do anything but be calm. It's better to be calm and not lose your style.

It wasn't until he pushed open the door that Bai Muyan was relieved to see that it was the old lady lying on the kang.

I only blame myself for not inquiring clearly, and there is another one here together.

Bai Muyan asked, "How is the grandmother's situation?" ”

Xu Tianxin replied: "If you have a broken rib, you need to raise it for two months, so it's not a hurry." ”

Too milky?

Xu Lizheng, who accompanied Bai Muyan into the house to visit, couldn't help but look at each other, you look at me, I look at you.

Xu Lizheng was surprised: This generation is messy enough, huh? Where did it start?

But it doesn't matter right now.

The important thing is that Xiucaigong's car is parked in Xujiazhuang, and the curtain is blue for exclusive Xiucai Gongcai.

The surname Xu Zhuangzi is passing on ten to hundred.

It didn't take long for the villagers of Haoxin'er to know that the most talented man in Shili Eight Village, and the only one in the neighborhood who had won the meritorious examination, came to visit the old lady of the Xu family in person.

When everyone heard the news, they rushed to join in the fun, and they smacked their tongues and discussed:

In recent years, even the most popular elders in Xujiazhuang have disappeared, and they can't invite serious readers.

In other words, that is, Bai Muyan is not invited.

After all, people are more expensive at that time, you should know or give some gifts and have a little human relationship?

I didn't expect the old lady of the Xu family to be sick, so this is coming.

I heard that I came with food, cakes, and gifts.

The villagers chattered:

And if you really talk about identity, Bai Muyan's status is higher than that of Zhenting, don't look at Zhenting's real power.

I heard that Xiucai Gong saw that the county did not need to kneel, and he could scold the officials for not being convicted, and Bai Muyan could not be arrested immediately if he committed murder and arson, and he needed to report to a higher level of yamen.

"You men haven't talked about the right thing for a long time, and the rarest thing about Bai Xiucai is that he is very young."

Yes, young, what if it goes one step further in the future? Xiucai is just the beginning.

And this is such a young man with a smooth future, who took the time to visit an old lady.

What's more, this talented man, who is outstanding in both his future and appearance, deliberately sat on the side of the kang and said to the old lady: "You don't have to get up, you don't need to be polite." ”

I can't stand in the house.

At this time, there were many people standing in the house, in the courtyard and outside the window.

The old lady was a little surprised to see Bai Muyan.

Although the daughter-in-law's family has known a lot of high-ranking officials in recent days, it is not surprising that she is a good talent. But to be honest, those big officials are a bit ethereal to her.

We don't have the confidence to go out and say that we know those officials, and we always feel that our family is too low to be a supplier. Presumably the villagers will feel the same way, fluttering and fluctuating.

But when it was Bai Muyan's turn, it was different, you must know that the eight villages in ten miles were proud to be able to talk to the Bai family's relatives.

And it's the first time I've walked around in public like this.

The old lady was a little flattered, covered her chest and whispered: "The people who let you visit in person are all gentlemen, scholars." I didn't dare to think that the Xiucai Guild would come to see an old lady for me. ”

Bai Muyan looked at the old lady and said with a smile: "You are polite, don't say that I am just a talent now." It is to take one step further in the future, two more steps, and as long as I am at home, I will come to visit you. ”

When everyone inside and outside the house heard this, they were all amazed.

In other words, Xiucai Gong will be a lifter in the future, a jinshi, and a big official, they will recognize this moving relationship, they didn't understand it wrong, right?

But why does Bai Xiucai hold the Xu family so much?

You must know that the old lady's Xu family has few people, and the fields together are not much. It can be said that this branch surnamed Xu used to be an ordinary villager family in Zhuangzi, and the ancestral hall of the clan also stood in the back rows.

Bai Muyan seemed to have guessed everyone's doubts, and he thought it necessary for him to explain two sentences:

"Grandma, you may not know, in fact, I myself admire my Aunt Xu and Tian Xin very much.

Taking Erdaohe Village as an example, it is not an exaggeration to say that under the leadership of my aunt and Tian Xin, the fate of many people has changed. ”

Bai Muyan grew up in the countryside, and he knows the countryside too well, so he only points out a few sentences, and the villagers may not be able to understand it, because they can't think of it in the long run.

Only by coming up with specific examples, when everyone hears that it is really like that, will they say yes, yes, yes.

So Bai Muyan specially gave an example to explain to everyone:

"For example, if my aunt leads everyone to earn money, so that all families in the village have money to spare, then the focus of the selection of the daughter-in-law will be different.

In the past, I only focused on whether my daughter-in-law could eat enough after marriage, whether my daughter-in-law could work more, and everything else was put back. Now that I have money to spare, I will see how my character is.

And character, if you want me to say that it is actually the foundation, we don't have a saying to be a good woman for three generations, and a woman destroys a family. Isn't this a fate-changing thing? ”

Outside, the bolted daughter-in-law who was working with Uncle Xu last night was the first to respond: "Yes, yes, yes, the girl surnamed Gu is a ruined family." ”

The bolted daughter-in-law was glared at by Xu Lizheng, what about this speech, what are you talking about.

The bolted daughter-in-law doesn't take it seriously, they are just that dead virtue, love to stare at it, if she hadn't listened to a few more words, so that she could go to the gate of Gu Sufen's house to spread a few more angry words, she would have run away now.

Bai Muyan continued:

"Even this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in Erdaohe will be very different from last year.

I'm also going to visit each house, it's good for me to make a fuss.

We ordinary people often say that the so-called good official is to lead everyone to eat well.

Previous officials didn't make Erdaohe any different.

And I, a person with a bit of fame, can't do it.

And Erdaohe has changed so much at the moment, I think it will become the leading village in the neighborhood in another year, and the Zhuangzi where my family is located cannot be compared.

Who brought about these changes? How can I not admire. ”

There are still many people in Xujiazhuang who have not been to the current Erdao River, and they have not been there in the cold weather, and they do not feel deeply. But Xiucai said that if people can become second to none, then there will be no fake.

After all, there are some things that are said by the mouth of the reader, and it is like an official certification for everyone.

At this time, they looked at Mrs. Xu in a daze, and everyone seemed to realize that they only paid attention to the earth-shaking changes in the second room of the Xu family, such as three ox carts that said they would buy them, and they pushed goods outside to sell goods, so how much money did they have to earn.

It seems that I didn't think that the more the Xu family's second house was bought and sold, the more it would be impossible to do it, and if it couldn't be done, it would hire someone to pay the salary.

No wonder the old lady was just sick, and Xiucai Gong came to the door.

It's no wonder that the Xu family has something to do, and Erdaohe Village is very exaggerated and sends a lot of food. It's like I've never been hungry before, and this morning there are still many people complaining behind their backs, pretending to be something.

In short, in the final analysis, their Xujiazhuang is a village of in-laws, and the symptom is that they still take others as the second daughter-in-law of the Xu family, and they always feel very familiar with each other, and instinctively look down on others.

And Bai Muyan believes that all of the above is the truth, and it has nothing to do with Tian Xin's heart.

Even the sentence that he wanted to see how the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner had changed was not false.

And he also plans to take a few of his classmates to see it.

Because he planned to listen to Tian Xin's opinion, his attitude towards the mutual market became positive.

Last time I was on the way back from Xishan Town and Xu Tianxin in the same car, when I talked about making a fuss about the imperial examination, Tian Xin asked him what he thought about the mutual market.

To tell the truth, he is not so optimistic, it is not a matter for a long time, and it is not such a way to trade for a long time.

It's clear that there are too many drawbacks.

Then Tian Xin asked him, did you plan to write this when you took the imperial examination? It seemed that after enduring it for a while, Tian Xin hesitated and said to him:

"When you encounter a question that does not have an accurate answer, do you need to grasp the general direction first?

Otherwise, it will be wrong to start with the general direction, even if the words of the discussion are substantial, will it ......

Let's play a game of chess.

Our town's Peking General family, the Huo family, whether the background is strong or not, the people know the things, and they also know the disadvantages of this mutual market better than us.

But on the surface, isn't that still busy for the mutual market? Who dares to contradict.

What's the difference between that and your boss changing tables when you eat, and your boss warming you to put out fires. ”

No matter how much it is, Tian Xin won't say it, but Bai Muyan also understands.

No matter how profound the disadvantages of the mutual market are, the critics will not give him a high score, and he will easily fall off the list in August next year.

Fortunately, he is still a pragmatic person, and he only secretly stubbornly fought with his own style for two days, and then chose not to be tough anymore, but he couldn't do it.

But let him sing the praises of the beauty of the mutual market, saying that in order to prevent war on the border, in the winter, a team was temporarily pulled up from the south to the north, and he thought about it so carefully that he almost didn't freeze these mutual market vendors to death.

And praise the people for paying taxes and food for those elite soldiers and strong generals, who dare not say that they will fight if they want to fight, and the states with all their pockets cooperate to send food and drink to the other side, all for the sake of the border people.

No, he couldn't close his eyes and boast.

Therefore, Bai Muyan considered going to Erdaohe, a famous village in Hushi, for the New Year.

The only good thing about this mutual market, he said, is that it makes a difference in the villages along the road. He can only sing the praises of virtue in this regard.

At the same time, as for what Bai Muyan said to the old lady and everyone to do, don't worry about that. Just listen to what Uncle Xu's daughter-in-law and fifth aunt are saying at the door of Uncle Xu's house.

"People Xiucai Gong said, let my old sister get better quickly, because the New Year is coming soon, and the grandchildren and great-grandchildren who want to kowtow to my old sister are not only the few in front of me, Erdaohe and a group of juniors will go, and he will also go."

The daughter-in-law looked at Uncle Xu's yard and pouted and shouted, "Even if your mother is really snobbish, what? Can you have this treatment in your home, do you have the ability to let Xiucai Gong visit? I can't wait for the New Year, and the boss is not happy to kowtow to that half, and I won't come back if I change it, just don't go back! ”

"The most promising talent is the one who wants to look up to the people, and you are buried outside for a long time, and at the moment, your family is not sharp, your family is a real tiger. Look, count that little bit of heart, sooner or later there will be a time when you will regret it later. I heard that the showman also sent ginseng to the old lady to raise. ”

"Not only that, I heard that there was also a mutton steamed bun on the other side, and when we heard the conversation inside in the yard, the mutton was put in the pot and heated. Scholars pay attention to it, saying that ginseng replenishes qi and mutton replenishes shape. I saw a large plate of finely sliced lamb's head. ”

"How do I hear what else to drink? Tea? ”

"No, it seems to be hawthorn tangerine peel black plum and white sugar boiling water, people say that they have heard Aunt Bai tell it, Tian Xin loves to drink these, and he is afraid that he will bring it to the fire while guarding the patient here.

I also specially brought food to Tian Xin's milk, have you heard? It's called Bazhen Cake. ”

Several women discussed the Eight Treasures Cake at a meal:

"I heard that Tian Xin's milk and the old lady of the Bai family have the same problem, both of them have a bad spleen and stomach, and Xiucai Gong specially asked for a recipe from his classmates.

And this recipe still has a lot of origins, a great imperial doctor in this dynasty lived to be more than eighty years old to write, let's specify what is put in it, anyway, it is a pastry made of eight materials, and eating it is good for the body.

Tian Xin's grandmother was overjoyed when she heard this, saying that her spleen and stomach could still deal with it, but it was her granddaughter's name that was really bad. ”

When I first crossed, I died in the past, but I can imagine the digestion ability of the spleen and stomach.

The daughter-in-law hurriedly made her eyes look and asked the fifth aunt to talk about the key points.

Don't talk about food and go on and off-topic.

"Ahem, what do you guess Xiucai Gong said after hearing what happened?"

"What?"

"Virtue is a loss, this is because we don't want the next generation to study. You must know that you have to be recommended by someone for whatever you test, and there are more than five people.

Who are you saying casually when you judge that Xiucai? Do you think you can treat it as if something didn't happen if you don't take the papers? ”

Suppositor's daughter-in-law spit and foam:

"He deserves it, he will support him for a total of four acres, and he doesn't want it in your hands, and he is embarrassed to cry and spend half a night, as if he owes you. Raising a child is causing trouble for others, and the medicine money is not paid and pushed to that side, and the heart and eyes are all occupied by your family, and it looks like a little cheap everywhere, in fact, this is called pouting the back road. ”

In the house, Uncle Xu couldn't pretend to be deaf even if he wanted to, but he hated that the door was not closed tightly.

When I heard that he was not allowed to let his future grandchildren study, I was shocked.

Xu Youshu hugged his head and said: "Dad, what do you say, everything that should be given has been given, my second aunt's family still can't wait to die for our family." ”

Gu Sufen was scolding Wang Di in the stove room: "Eat, eat, you know how to eat." I can't hear the scolding outside, are you satisfied? ”

It's almost noon, and I haven't eaten yet.

Wang Di didn't talk back and said: You should be satisfied, right? She has a different personality from Zhao Di. But she suddenly put down the grain bag and said listlessly: "Then I won't eat it." ”

Hungry, let's go into the house with that.

Gu Sufen would not let go of Wang Di, but Wang Di inserted the door of the house backwards.

She scolded through the door: "If you dare to give Zhao Di clothes, or dare to sneak away from there, I will give you a discount on your legs." ”

Xu Youshu pushed Gu Sufen away, or it may be that Gu Sufen doesn't have much energy today.

Xu Youshu knocked on the door and said, "Second sister, I persuaded my mother to leave, cooking?" ”

"If you want to eat, bring the firewood back, and then go and talk to my mother, I have a headache."

"I ...... Holding firewood? ”

Otherwise, Zhao Di is gone.

It's really gone.

Just after noon, the Xu family and Zhao Zhenting came, and the fourth uncle Xu and his family had a dull face: "......" has not been stepped on by so many people.

Xu Lizheng also swallowed and foamed, nervously rubbed his hands and stepped forward to help carry people.

Zhao Dashan came to have something to do, and when he heard that Mrs. Xu was not at home, he followed him to Xujiazhuang to have a look.

If this side can leave, they will go together, and if they can't replace his aunt and Tian Xin, they will also have to be replaced. Let someone else take care of it.

Because it was a document from above, the re-planning of the family's field was specially approved.

Also, for the first time, the Zhenbei Army came with an order to stamp the army.
