Because of this thought, Xu Chongguang didn't let Master Bai pass the word between him and Aunt Rou in the end.

After Master Bai breathed a sigh of relief, his mind turned, and he came to Banyan Alley.

By this time it was getting dark.

When he arrived at Xie's house, Ma's, Wang Can and others had just come back from collecting stalls.

It was Li Jun and Li Zheng, two cousins, who came out to receive him.

These three people have eaten and drunk together, and they can be regarded as acquaintances.

Seeing Master Bai, Li Zheng, as his brother, welcomed people into the study.

Wang Can hurriedly went into the kitchen to boil water and make tea.

Even if she didn't brew it very well, it didn't prevent her from having spiritual spring water, even a little bit of diluted water was better than ordinary tea.

After she brought the pot of tea into the study, before she completely exited the study, Li Zheng spoke directly: "I don't know what happened when Brother Yu Yuan came over now?" ”

Yu Yuan is the word of Master Bai, he intends to have a good relationship with Xie Yan, and naturally he is also called a brother and a brother with the Li family.

Hearing Li Zheng get straight to the point, he took a sip of tea, then his eyes lit up, and then he said directly: "It's not a big deal, it's not that the adults just came from Fucheng, Qian Tongju and Zheng Zhifu have been detained, and they will be escorted back to the capital Criminal Department for trial in a few days." In addition, Gao Ningyao was beheaded at noon today, and Wu Yuer was after three months. I think you'll want to know this, so as soon as you hear the news, hurry over and let me know. ”

Don't talk about Li Jun, even when Li Zheng heard this at this time, he couldn't sit still, so he stood up from his seat with a deep joy in his eyes.

"Really?"

Wang Can, who was afraid of disturbing people's conversations, was about to walk to the door, but when he heard this, he quickly turned to look at Master Bai.

After seeing him nod affirmatively, she didn't care about etiquette, and said directly to Li Jun: "Brother Junzi, leave Master Bai to eat at night, and I'll cook, soon." ”

Li Jun had a smile on his face and looked at Master Bai: "If Brother Yu Yuan doesn't dislike it, he will stay and eat a coarse tea and light meal." ”

Master Bai was already aiming at Xie Yanzhi and intended to have a good relationship with the two, and he agreed with a smile on his face when he heard this.

As soon as Wang Can saw him nodding, he hurried out and shouted: "Third aunt, happy event, great happy event!" ”

Ma, who had already entered the kitchen with his daughter-in-law, was going to cook dinner first and cook the soybean pork rib soup later, and when he heard the strong joy in Wang Can's voice, he hurriedly walked out of the kitchen.

As soon as he walked to the door, he met Wang Can who was coming and asked, "What is the happy event?" Canniang, what is the big event? ”

She actually guessed that Master Bai came over and said that it was a happy event, and the scientific examination would take two days, so being able to make Wang Can lose his temper like this was probably related to the case in Fucheng.

Sure enough, Wang Can said with a smile: "Third aunt, Master Bai said that the surname Gao was beheaded today, and there are two other people to be escorted to the capital for trial." Third aunt, our revenge has been avenged, isn't it a great joy? By the way, I asked Brother Junzi to leave Master Bai to eat. Third aunt, look at what we have at home, and make it all out at night. If there is not enough meat for tomorrow, I will now go to the king butcher and ask him to leave me more after he kills the pigs tomorrow. At home, I make the meat sauce and bring it to the noodle stall. ”

When Ma heard that the surname Gao was beheaded, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Wang Can said that the surname Gao was the enemy of their Li family, which was not bad at all.

They worked hard to make money to support a showman, and they wanted to be able to rely on the second uncle of the child to shine on the lintel, and they had the second uncle to rely on in the future, but they had nothing at once.

Not only did he have to bear the grief of his brother's loss, but he also had to pay so many taxes every year and serve in forced labor.

God knows that the men in the family, every time they finish their servitude, they have to take off a layer of skin.

That's it, the people at home are worried all day long, for fear that they will be gone when they are in service.

On days like that, obviously there are talents in the family, so they don't have to be so ......

Cheng Xuejiao has gone through these days of experience, and people are more comfortable doing things.

Hearing Wang Can's voice, she immediately reported out the menu.

"Canniang, I'll use a jar to make soup now, or soybean pork rib soup, and use as much as you want at night. As for the dish, half of the meat is divided into meat sauce and kept for tomorrow. The remaining half is used to fry the fungus and part to fry celery. Then let's make another dish of scrambled eggs with leeks and a dish of stir-fried spring shoots. In this way, four dishes and one soup, you can see what is appropriate to add? ”

"Third sister-in-law, you do these first, I'll go and see who sells chickens in our alley, if not, I'll go to the tavern to buy a roast chicken and sauce meat and come back."

As soon as Cheng Xuejiao heard that those two were big meat dishes, she said: "Then buy them directly, and you don't have to buy them back, and let Master Bai wait for a long time when the time comes." In this way, six dishes and one soup are also passable. ”

Wang Can nodded: "Okay, then I'll buy it directly." Third sister-in-law, you do it first, and I'll drive the ox cart directly. ”

Since Xie Yanzhi drove the carriage to Fucheng, Old Man Li at the old mansion saw that the weather was a little abnormal.

It takes a certain amount of time for the snow-capped mountains that were piled up in the village to melt in the winter.

But now it melted quickly, so after it was almost melted, he decisively took out the part of the savings left by Mrs. Wang to buy an ox cart.

His move of buying an ox cart was well understood by everyone in Lijiaao, so that some people who had silver at home also began to look everywhere for cattle or donkeys to buy.

Because there were too many ox carts and donkey carts in Li Jia'ao, Li Jun drove the ox carts left by Li Yuan to the town again.

As soon as Wang Can left, Cheng Xuejiao was busy washing and cutting, and asked Ma's: "Mother, you said that your brother-in-law is so capable, can our family not follow us to Luyang Mansion at that time, but also go to the city of Xinyang Mansion?" It is a city in the end, and even if there is a disaster, it should not be able to affect that side. ”

Ma still remembered what Xie Yanzhi said, saying that her family would be able to take the test and be on top.

The son she gave birth to is somewhat capable, and she can see it.

Therefore, in the face of her daughter-in-law's words, she said directly: "Let's listen to your grandmother when the time comes, and see how they decide." According to my meaning, it still can't be, and the cost of staying in Fucheng is definitely not small. The main thing is that our family should not have much money now, and even if there is, it is only left for Zhengzi to go to Fucheng to catch the exam. ”

Cheng Xuejiao also knows that coming out is not as good as being in the village, and it costs money anywhere.

In addition, the cost of their family is indeed not small!

The money that was earned with great difficulty a few years ago was first paid off Junzi's debts, and then he helped to buy a banquet for getting married.

Followed by the eldest sister's family and the money to buy pigs at the wedding banquet.

At present, a large part of the grandmother was taken to Fucheng, and the grandfather who stayed behind bought an ox cart.

Speaking of which, it mainly depends on the charcoal burning money and the pankang money from the previous year, otherwise where can they afford to spend so much?

Thinking about it this way, Cheng Xuejiao didn't think it should be like this.

After all, whether it is a recipe for burning charcoal or pankang, it is given by the eldest brother-in-law in front of the eldest sister.

And people also bought so many books for her family Zhengzi, not to mention, but also personally instructed him.

What's more, it also led him to get to know the newly appointed county commander and master, as well as a number of wealthy businessmen in the county.
