I hurriedly had dinner in the store, so I spent twice the money and hired an ox cart to go back, and in the dark night, the ox cart did not stop, all the way to Yejiazhuang.

Ye Qing lay on the ox cart, looking up at the starry sky.

It was a clear night, and the entire sky was dark and blue, and on this heavenly dome, there was a common kingdom of fairies and gods.

Just thinking about it, Qianqian tugged at Ye Qing's shirt: "Son, it's almost time to Yejiazhuang." ”

At night, Ye Qing couldn't see her face clearly in the dark, presumably because she thought of killing someone at this time, she was a little afraid, she muttered for a while, and said, "Don't be afraid, it's okay!"

Comforted, Qianqian's heart calmed down a little.

"This son, Yejiazhuang has arrived, and there is Yejia Avenue in front of us, so we don't dare to go over. The coachman said suddenly.

Ye Qing took a look, and sure enough, he saw some torches slowly patrolling, and there were five or six torches, which were the patrolling clansmen team.

"Come on, you can't find the house in the middle of the night, you can stay in the wing room in my courtyard for one night and give you food!"

When the coachman heard this, he hesitated, but he still responded, and went over.

After a while, the patrol team was vaguely visible in the starlight, the torches were poured with oil, and they were burning with a crackling sound, and although they were not wearing armor, they were all carrying long knives, and they looked very fierce.

The coachman greeted him with some trembling, and entered Zhuangzi at night, either a thief or a thief, and there was no place to shout grievances when he was cut down, but at this time, the ox cart passed, and the leader was a middle-aged man, his eyes flashed, and he did not make a sound.

The ox cart was not questioned at all, it passed cleanly, and after ten zhang, Ye Qing secretly exhaled a sigh of relief, revealing a smile.

"Don't start the fire, just use some of the bread you brought back, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." Ye Qing returned to the small courtyard smoothly and said to Qianqian: "You can give the coachman five cakes." ”

Qianqian responded, and when she didn't say anything all night, she went to rest.

The next day, when Ye Qing woke up, it was early in the morning, a little farther away was the tall courtyard, covering some grass, the sun was sprinkled on the window, the window paper was separated, the light was a little dim, and it was extremely quiet, Qianqian paid and sent the coachman to hear it clearly.

After a while, Qianqian came back, her face was a little worried, she entered the house, bit her lip, and said in a small voice: "Young master, this exam, the family's money is almost used up, just now I went to ask the clan, but said that the autumn grain has not been harvested, and the young master has lost fifty taels in his name, and he can't overdraft the monthly case." ”

"Well, then sell it. ”

"Young master, don't worry, they didn't say no, they just have to delay for a few days, we can still get through these days......" Qianqian compared her fingers, her little face wrinkled, and she suddenly came back to her senses: "Young master, what did you say you sold just now?"

Ye Qing sat steadily, closed his eyes and recuperated: "I mean sell the field!"

"Young Master!" Qianqian stared at Ye Qing with wide eyes, looking at Ye Qing with the eyes of a loser, if it weren't for the trust she had built up these days, she would have almost jumped.

In the era of agriculture, selling land is the last choice in desperation, and farmers without land are homeless people, and they will no longer be good families!

This is not only a wealth, but also a symbol of social status and family continuity.

Of course, Ye Qing is not so miserable, but if he loses the field for a long time, it will gradually fall apart.

Qianqian can rest assured in this yard, that is, Ye Qing has hundreds of acres of land under his name, as long as he is an adult, he can take it back.

"Qianqian, don't get excited, I have a reason. Ye Qing sat up straight and laughed at himself: "Over the years, you have been bothering with your family, and I have seen it in my heart." ”

"Originally, this matter could be discussed, but I blatantly killed someone for this boy's test, a Wu Tiezi itself is nothing, but what do the thousands of clansmen and family children in the clan think? ”

"If I can be a child this time, this field will not be sold, but I am afraid that the clan will have to appease, if I can't be a child, I am afraid that it will be difficult for this clan to move forward, and it will not be publicly humiliated, can't I make trouble for you?

"Over the years, you have suffered a lot, and I really don't want my Qianqian to be so wronged. ”

Hearing this, Qianqian bit her lower lip and didn't say anything, only felt a sour heat in her heart, and the grievances and sorrows that had been accumulated for three years melted, and her eyes suddenly turned red, but she just held on to tears: "Childe, don't you do this...... Qianqian, what is it if I suffer some grievances, as long as the son can be admitted to the Tongsheng ......"

Speaking of this, I couldn't bear it anymore, and tears came out of my eyes.

Ye Qing didn't speak, just stretched out her hand and pulled, she fell into her arms, sobbed, stayed for a while, saw that she was calm, and then said: "I am confident that I will be a child in the future, and I will go to the state to take the exam, then this matter of selling the field is an attitude, you might as well take the overall situation, the clan will not mind." ”

Speaking of this, Ye Qing suddenly remembered his previous life, the catastrophe was coming, the heavens and the earth were catastrophic, the countries were fighting, the monks were fighting, the production order was completely destroyed, and the fields had become the most worthless things, thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He said carefully: "If I don't win, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in the clan, I don't have anything myself, I'm always a member of the Ye clan, but for the sake of your safety, I'd rather go out of the family and cultivate and study to pass on the family." ”

Qianqian opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't.

"Calluses and feet, men and women weave, can't we support ourselves?" Ye Qing said, accentuating his voice on our two words.

In fact, he really can't feed it, he knows better than anyone about the anti-risk ability of the small-scale peasant economy, and no one wants to stay out of the catastrophe when the catastrophe comes, but Qianqian doesn't know what to do.

"Don't mess me off. Qianqian entered the inner room, and heard the sound of rummaging boxes and locks inside, and in a moment she puffed out with a puff of anger, and held the title deed in her hand.

The file was slightly yellowed, and the rows of black letters were printed with vermilion official seals, as well as Ye Qing's father and his own signature.

I listened to Qianqian's reminder: "Although the young master has this property, according to the rules of the Ye family, when selling it, you must first notify the clan, and the clan gives priority to allocation, and if someone in the clan wants to buy it, it can't be sold to outsiders...... You have to be careful about that. ”

"I'll keep an eye on it, hey, don't worry, it's okay!"

"You're the master, what else can I say?" Qianqian sighed.

Ye Qing looked at the title deed carefully: "The fields are divided into upper, middle and lower, these 100 mu are at least midfield, according to the market price of 9 taels of silver per mu, and you can get 1,500 taels of silver if you sell them all." ”

Thinking of this, I have already made up my mind, this time on the article, Ye Qing is extremely confident, if he doesn't win, he is unlucky, and the attitude in the clan is also obvious.

The catastrophe is coming, Ye Qing has no heart to play with these people, he has 1,500 taels, and his life will not be a problem for a few years, so he can go directly to find the opportunity.

Although the matter of the mountain god copper cup is rare, it is not nothing, at least there are two or three things in my memory.

Only the wise and the foolish can follow the Tao, ignore the eyes of others, and take what is needed.

Thinking of this, Ye Qing no longer hesitated and went out with the title deed.

Qianqian leaned silently against the door, her eyes rolling, obviously a little depressed, no matter how good she said, for her, losing this field is a big deal.

As soon as Ye Qing entered the door, he saw several people drinking in a side room, all of them blushing from drinking.

"It turned out to be Qing Gongzi-" One of them glanced at it, and said with a drink, "Are you here to borrow money and rice?" I'm sorry, the autumn grain has not been harvested, Qing Gongzi, you have a deficit of fifty taels in your name, you can't overdraft the monthly case, don't let the villain be embarrassed-"

Ye Qing didn't move, turned around, and stepped into a room.

It was an elegant room, with mulberry paper on the walls, and a stack of bookshelves inside, which looked very elegant, but instead of books, there were books on the shelves.

An old man was playing chess with a young man, and he didn't raise his head when he saw Ye Qing coming in.

Ye Qing gave a slight salute and did not disturb.

In charge of the fields in this clan is a clan elder, Ye Hui, who is the same generation as Ye Qing's father, who is one round older, and is in charge of the fields in the clan, and has some status.

It wasn't until a game of chess was played that Ye Hui slowly spoke: "You don't study the scriptures at home, but what did you come to me to do because of your father's wishes?"

Ye Hui said unceremoniously, withdrew the chessboard in his hand, let the young man go out, knocked on the stool again, and asked Ye Qing to sit down and speak: "Is it that the money and rice cost about the same, and you come to me to ask for a loan?" This is a trivial matter, but now it is different. ”

"I said you, you're too impulsive, you just go to the exam, how can you kill Wu Tiezi? Even if it's a master and servant, this is too much, do you know how big a storm there is in Lu Dao, and now the family has children (subordinates) in the family, who doesn't regard you as an enemy and embarrass you everywhere?"

"Although the power is in the hands of our Ye clan, but the autumn harvest, transportation, meals, inventory, etc., which is not the son of the family to do it, if they join forces to embarrass you, it will be difficult for the clan to speak!"

nagged for a long time, although there was a scolding, but there was a burst of care in it.

Ye Qing's heart was warm, and he was silent for a long time, and said: "Fifth uncle, no one has looked at you for a long time, it's your nephew's rudeness, but you look good, and your body bones are stronger than before." ”

"But I didn't come this time for this, my nephew finished the scientific examination yesterday, and when he returned home today, he found that there was not much money, not enough to make a living for even seven days, and the clan refused to borrow. ”

Speaking of this, Ye Qing sat on his knees with his hands and paused first, Ye Hui looked at Ye Qing, a little puzzled, isn't this just shouting poverty and asking for relief from the clan, why is this not the case?

Just thinking about it, I listened to the young man in front of me say plainly: "There are rules and difficulties in the clan, how can I not understand, this time I came, but I wanted to sell the acres and hundreds of acres of land under my name, and sell it first, presumably there are also a thousand taels of silver, and it will not be a problem to spend ten years." When you get famous, you save money in your hand and buy it back. ”

"What?" Ye Hui thought about it for a long time, but he didn't expect to hear this, and suddenly stood up in shock, and even the cup in his hand fell on the table, splashing half of the table of tea!
