    ?

    When it was dark, Wang Shi and Yuzhi went home first.

    As soon as the couple walked to the gate, they heard a burst of laughter from inside, and one of the strange women's laughter was particularly wanton.

    Yuzhi looked at Wang.

    Wang Shi curled her lips and said in a low voice, "It's your second aunt."

    He muttered again: "What is the second child's family coming back at this time?"

    Yuzhi said lightly: "Isn't it because you came back to get the money?"

    She knew that the second son of the Chen family was named Chen Yaozong, and he worked as a clerk in the yarn shop of Sun Daguan in Weishi County. Now, because his 12-year-old son Chen Yuchuan passed the examination as a scholar, he was studying in the county school. Therefore, Chen Yaozu and his wife Wushi brought a pair of children  Living in a rented house in the county, the rent and expenses are naturally paid by the family.

    After hearing Yuzhi's words, Wang suddenly entered a fighting state, and immediately opened the door and entered.

    When the door was pushed open, there was a loud "squeak", but the people in the main hall seemed to have neither heard nor seen it, and laughed to themselves.

    Wang took Yuzhi into the courtyard, asked Yuzhi to go back to the east wing to change clothes, and went to the stove by herself.

    In the kitchen, Mrs. Dong was busy cutting Chinese cabbage. When she saw Mrs. Wang coming in, she pouted her lips and said in a low voice, "The second son's family is back, I don't know what's going to happen again!"

    Mrs. Wang sneered and said, "Just wait and see, anyway, it's always about money!"

    Mrs. Dong put down the kitchen knife, walked to the door of the stove house and looked around, and found that the main room was lit, talking and laughing lively, the yard was empty, and no one came out, and said: "Either you want money to pay the rent, or  Whether they want money for Yuchuan to make Confucian gowns, or for Yuchuan to make Confucian robes¡ªthe little money we have worked so hard to earn all year round has been raided by Erfang, what else are they here for?"

    Mrs. Wang took the apron and tied it, washed her hands with soap, and said slowly: "I also came to ask for money to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones for Yuchuan and gifts for the county school teacher. There is also the township examination in August. Yuchuan wants  It¡¯s a lot of money to go to Ganzhou City to take part in the rural examination!¡±

    Mrs. Dong glanced at Mrs. Wang: "Sister-in-law, please be careful tonight. The money saved by the family over the years has almost been spent by the second room. Now my sister-in-law wants to talk about marriage, and the second room's Yuchuan is going to rush for the exam. This is a lot of money."  , the in-laws always have to find a way to get it out, and your Yuzhi is probably in danger."

    Mrs. Wang was thinking about this matter in her heart. After hearing Mrs. Dong's words, she immediately said: "Thank you for reminding me, I am also thinking about it! But your eldest brother is not like the third brother who treats you and Yuhe, he and our mother are not of the same mind.  , what can I do"

    Mrs. Dong looked at Mrs. Wang with some sympathy, and said softly: "Sister-in-law, you can find a chance to inquire about that Xu Shoubing's family tomorrow.  What's more deceitful? Maybe it would be better for Yuzhi to go to Xu Shoubing's house!"

    Mrs. Wang didn't speak, walked over and sat down in front of the stove: "What are you cooking tonight?"

    Mrs. Dong picked up the half-cut Chinese cabbage and showed it to Mrs. Wang: "What else can I have? Hot and sour cabbage with corn grits!"

    Just at this time, the voice of the mother-in-law Gao came from outside: "The second family finally came back, Yuchuan loves braised pork, Wang, cook braised pork tonight, don't need too much, just a small bowl  , enough for Yuchuan to eat!"

    Dong Shi turned to look at Wang Shi.

    Mrs. Wang answered "yes" in a muffled voice.

    Seeing that Wang was quite obedient this time, Mrs. Gao was satisfied that she didn't make a big fuss like when she wanted to sell Yuzhi, so she went back to the hall.

    In the main room, two oil lamps were rarely lit, one was placed on the table in the middle, and the other was placed on the square table against the east wall.

    Chen Fugui sat on the north side of the square table, holding a pipe made of purple bamboo poles and smoking happily.

    After puffing out a puff of smoke, he looked kindly at his eldest grandson Chen Yuchuan sitting on the south side of the square table¡ªthis is the hope of the old Chen family. The old Chen family has been farming for generations.  At the age of two, he was admitted as a scholar, which is also the first in the whole Weishi County!

    Chen Yuchuan's facial features resemble those of the Chen family, but his skin resembles his mother's Wu family, very fair and handsome.

    Although he was only twelve years old, he had always matured precociously and was very calm. He sat in an armchair and talked with his grandma and parents with a smile on his face.

    Chen Yaozong, the second son of the Chen family, is about twenty-six or seventeen years old. He is very handsome, but he is a little darker.

    The weather was more than February and less than March, and the weather was still cold, but Chen Yaozong was only wearing a thin soft satin robe, and he was in the room with a new hat on his head.

    Although he is a father, he is no more respectable than the son of a scholar, and he has never been qualified to sit in an armchair, so he sits on the chair by the west wall, with his fatherSitting opposite Chen Fugui and his son Chen Yuchuan, they were talking endlessly: "Master Han, the county magistrate, personally held our Yuchuan's hand, and praised him as a 'fearful young man';  Our Yuchuan family is a child prodigy, and he also said that when Yuchuan passed the provincial examination, he would promise his youngest daughter to Yuchuan¡ªgifts for husband, new robes, and money for the exam.  -"

    At this time, Chen Jiaoniang, who was standing at the door of the main room eating melon seeds, suddenly said: "Brother is back!"

    After hearing this, Chen Yaozong changed his words immediately, and began to talk about the business experience in the woolen shop: "Although I am only a clerk in the shop, my benefactor, Mr. Sun, takes me very seriously. All the big and small businesses in his family's house involve money.  , leave it to me to settle accounts, guests come to the house, often invite me to accompany the guests, I can't be without me for a while¡ª"

    The second daughter-in-law, Wu Shi, who was at the door of the bedroom in Xi'an, coughed hurriedly when the eldest brother Chen Yaozu came in.

    Chen Yaozong rolled his eyes and saw Chen Yaozu coming in, he hurriedly got up and bowed: "Brother is back!"

    Chen Yaozu responded in a muffled voice, greeted his parents, and sat down on the chair next to Chen Yaozong.

    Chen Yaozong's eyeballs rolled around, and he immediately continued: "I often walk in the home of my benefactor, Mr. Sun, and Mr. Sun has contacts with all the adults in the county. Among them, the county magistrate Mr. Han, Mr. Ding, the county magistrate, and Mr. Ding are the closest.  Guard Master Xu!"

    He was speaking, but his eyeballs were very flexible. He glanced at his eldest brother Chen Yaozu, and then said: "Master Xu is the most outstanding guard. Although he is a big official, he is very handsome, and his family is rich.  I have a few wives, but I don¡¯t have any sons or daughters, so I want to buy a few better maids to put in the house, and when I have children in the future, I will wear a silver silk bun and wear them as aunts!"

    Chen Yaozu couldn't listen any longer, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm going to wash my hands!"

    After that, he got up and went out.

    Mrs. Wu smiled smugly¡ªshe was born as a servant girl of Sun Daguan's family, how could these country bumpkins from the Chen family win her attention?  Sooner or later, she will get Chen Yuzhi's selling money!

    A little girl from the countryside, who actually turned into a fairy, deserves to be sold!  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
