The night is as cool as water, with insects chirping and frogs chirping one after another, playing gorgeous music in the cool autumn night. Liujia Village, which has been bustling for a day, finally calms down. Every household closes its doors. No matter how lively and busy the day is, every day At night, they all agreed to do the same thing, which was to go to bed early.
Oil is expensive and essence is expensive, but only a few can light candles at night.
Compared with the darkness of Qiaoxi Village, the Xiao family courtyard in Qiaodong is brightly lit and lively. After dinner, Uncle Ming took Sun Haiyu and Wang Tao, two and a half young men, to patrol around the night. Since the security guard Maomao followed After Xiao Han went on a trip, the responsibility of protecting the entire family fell on Uncle Ming.
They not only have to guard the door to prevent Xiaoxiao, but also always pay attention to the wild beasts on the mountain coming down to look for food.
·The liveliness of the Wang family did not have much impact on the Xiao family. Although Xiao Ming did not deliberately inquire about the final result of Liu Yu's divorce incident, it was not too late when they learned the news. Chen Youde left the village with a dark face. Li came to report to them on the recent battle situation.
The Great Wang family completely won the contest with Chen Youde. The Great Wang family was fully prepared to ask Chen Youde to pay sixty taels of silver. Chen Youde had the intention to cheat, but his one mouth was no match for the dozens of mouths in Liujiacun's crusade. Furthermore, he was really afraid of the Great Wang family's bare feet. Wearing shoes, if you don't pay him, you really want to sue him. He is afraid of making too many calculations. In the end, he overturns the situation and ends up with Chen Youde paying fifty-four taels of silver.
Fifty-four taels of silver was enough to make Chen Youde's heart ache. In the eyes of everyone, it might be a big number, which made everyone jealous of the large amount of silver that the Great Wang family got, thinking that the Great Wang family had made a windfall.
But Xiao Ming shook her head and sighed.
The food that the eldest Wang family sent to the Chen family, as well as the replenishing medicinal materials that she caught and bought for Chen Rongzu, were a lot of money; when the eldest Wang family helped pick fruits to make wine, she gave them A jar of canned food was given to her, as well as some fresh fruits and scented tea, which were all transferred to the Chen family by the Wang family. Her wholesale price for a jar of canned food was twelve taels, and how much silver was ten times that... .
Calculated ten times, it would be more than fifty-four taels, and the loss would reach the Pacific Ocean.
The Wang family only recovered fifty-four taels of silver. Everyone including herself thought they had made a profit, but she was the only one who knew that she had lost more than a little.
Chen Youde returned home in disgrace. After he went out, he would continue to be a heretic about Liu Yu in front of others.
When she learned that Liu Yu's engagement was annulled, Ms. Song shook her head and sighed for a while, feeling regretful: "Such a good girl has been annulled like this. I'm afraid it will be hard to talk about her in the future. Don't look at the fact that the Chen family gave such a large sum of money. We have arrived in Liujiacun and we still don’t know how to arrange Liu Yu’s marriage; I’m afraid it will be difficult for Liu Yu to get married in the future. It’s hard to find someone to propose marriage to, and I’m afraid those who can come to propose marriage are not good ones, and most of them go there for money.”
This world is often cruel to women. Even if a man makes a mistake, it will be blamed on the woman. It was Bao Si's fault that King You of Zhou beacon-fired and played with the princes. The demise of the Shang and Zhou dynasties was due to Da Ji's beauty and disaster for the country.
Behind every successful man there is a woman who will be remembered forever, and behind every failed man there is a woman who will be remembered forever.
Liu Yu was disowned, even if Liu Yu was not at fault, who else would know the reason for the disapproval except the people in Liujia Village who knew everything about it, how could they stop the speculation of outsiders, and the Chen family fanned the flames of spreading Liu Yu's name Head, rumors are spreading, rumors are spread, who will the world believe?
Apart from the sympathy of the people of Liujiacun, who else would sympathize with her and understand her? Most of them would just watch the hilarious jokes or sprinkle salt on the wounds.
Listening to Mrs. Song's sigh, Mother Yi on the side did not speak. She looked thoughtfully at the flickering candlelight in front of her eyes. They chatted for a while and then dispersed.
"Following the cypress boat, I also flooded the current. I am sleepless, if I have any hidden worries. I have no wine, so I can swim with Ao." In the study, the crisp sound of the children's room sounded, it was Xiao Yu who was reviewing today's lessons.
"Well, do you know what it means?" Xiao Ming nodded and asked. In the past, it was Xiao Han's task to check and correct Xiao Yu's homework. Now that Xiao Han is traveling, it has become her job.
"I know." Xiao Yu nodded, "It means rowing a small cypress boat, floating back and forth in the middle stream. It is difficult to fall asleep with anxiety, as if there is sorrow in my heart. It is not that there is no wine in my hand, I can drink it and swim freely. "
"Yes." Xiao Ming nodded, quite satisfied, and checked a few other things before putting down the book. Today was over.
Xiao Yu's eyes lit up when he saw the letter in Xiao Ming's hand, and he asked impatiently: "Auntie, is this the news that uncle sent back?"
Xiao Ming stroked his forehead and shook his head angrily: "No, you belong to Uncle Jiang. There is no letter from your brother-in-law today. He has only been away for a few days. How could there be letters sent back every day? Moreover, according to the schedule, he should be on the ship today. If you have something written, you have to wait until you get off the ship before someone can send it back."
When Xiao Yu heard this, he immediately became unhappy. He pursed his lips and hummed: "No yesterday, no today either. Uncle may have forgotten to write it down. I don't know how my Maomao is doing."
Obviously, he was still upset about not letting him follow.
"You! I really thought that your Uncle Jiang's escort agency was specially sent to deliver letters to you." Upon hearing this, Xiao Ming put away the letter that she had not yet read eagerly, tapped his forehead, and smiled helplessly.
From the day he left, Xiao Han had the habit of writing a diary. He would write down the beautiful scenery he saw on the road, the strange things he heard, or the visit with a certain famous teacher and scholar with Mr. Lu, etc. Every detail was written down on the paper, and then the escorts from the Four Seas Escort Agency were asked to send it home.
If there is no escort to return to Pingcheng, he will keep the letters one by one, so sometimes Xiao Ming receives one letter from home or four or five letters together.
He is like the eyes of Xiao Ming and Xiao Yu. Through his letters, what he experienced seems to be happening in front of their eyes. It feels like Xiao Han has not left them, so every night the thing Xiao Yu is most passionate about is Reading the letters sent back by his uncle, he would be excited for a long time every time a new letter was sent back. Everything Xiao Han experienced also allowed Xiao Ming to understand his situation, where he went, and whether he was in a happy mood.
Therefore, reading Xiao Han's letters home every night became their happiest thing.
Xiao Ming looked up at the sky. The sky was dark. Because it rained during the day, there were no stars in the sky. She didn't know if it had rained at Xiao Han's place. It might have delayed her trip due to the rain.
A long sigh broke through the long night.
In the blink of an eye, it had been half a month since he left, and they had received his Thirteen Hexagrams letter. She could see his excitement from between the lines. The young boy walked out of the house for the first time, feeling anxious about the road ahead and also worried about the future. yearning.
After comforting Xiao Yu, who was unhappy, Xiao Ming had time to look through the letters sent by Jiang Sihai. They were several letters brought back from the capital, including Su Waner's and several from Chen Yuanze. Although they were far away in the capital, they Su Waner had never cut off her relationship with Xiao Ming. Su Waner was married and now pregnant, and Chen Yuanze was admitted to the Imperial College.
The two of them invited Xiao Ming to Beijing by chance.
Xiao Ming glanced at it briefly and ignored it, but her eyes stayed on the last letter stamped with Jiang Sihai's seal.
"The military supplies transported to the northwest were hit by heavy rain and thunder on the way, and a hundred thousand stones of grain and grass were destroyed in one day."
