Li Qiusui likes to squat at the door and chat with Mrs. Ma when she has nothing to do. How should she chat with Mrs. Ma on such a day? She pretends to be interested when she is busy, "Has this happened? Our family is very busy." Zhandi, it’s not good to live at the foot of the mountain. No one talks about what happens in the village, so I really don’t know anything.”
Mrs. Ma was proud and looked like I knew it. She came closer to Li Qiu Sui and said, "I'm telling you..."
Mrs. Liu was dumbfounded when she saw her youngest daughter talking to Mrs. Ma in a lively manner.
Did you also learn this from the Zheng family? That's right, there are so many maids and women in their family, and they don't have to work in the fields. What are they doing if they don't gossip!
The little girl was led astray by the Zheng family!
Mrs. Liu habitually puts the blame on the Zheng family, because there is no such person in their family!
Mrs. Ma is talking about Li Guangping's family here. No matter whether they are in the fields or in the village, whenever they stand together in twos and threes and talk, Li Guangping feels that they are talking about his own family.
Li Zhenzhen was so frightened that she didn't dare to go out. She was really not wronged by the second son of the Qian family, but she didn't dare to tell the truth even in front of her grandfather.
Li Guangping turned back from outside the hospital with a dark face. When he saw Li Zhenzhen, he scolded her, "If you have nothing to do, just stay in the house and embroider. Don't run outside."
Li Zhenzhen lowered her head. She hadn't left the house for several days. She only dared to come out to breathe when she saw Li Guangping going out.
Li Guangping took the pickaxe and walked outside. Li Zhenzhen bit her lip and couldn't hold it back. She shouted: "Grandpa, are you going to let the Qian family go like this?"
There are many members of the Li family, not to mention you are the patriarch!
Her reputation has been completely ruined by the Qian family! Her grandfather, including her family members, did not say anything to help her vent her anger, and even complained that she had brought down the family's reputation.
The second son of the Qian family will also be capable in the future. It was Li Qiusui who saved people in his previous life. She saved people in this life. He really remembers the kindness. Li Qiusui's family was getting better and better, and Li Zhenzhen couldn't help but mutter something in front of that man, who knew he was so helpless, not only sitting in jail himself, but also causing trouble for others...
Li Zhenzhen cried...
"Then what do you want?" Li Guangping held back his temper, "If our family really comes to visit us, this kind of thing will cause endless fuss and will be even more detrimental to our family's reputation. Wait until next year. Didn't you say that your brother will be able to do it next year?" Have you been admitted as a scholar? By then no one will dare to say anything."
"Well, my brother will definitely pass the exam next year! Grandpa, there will be a drought in Linshan County at the end of this year. This drought will last for two or three years. What do you think our family will do next?" Li Zhenzhen still said this. She was hesitant about what to say, but she was afraid. She was afraid that her grandfather would be disappointed in her and her family would become more and more unhappy. She would blurt out her words when she was wronged.
"really?"
Li Zhenzhen nodded heavily.
"You can't say that to anyone else!"
Li Zhenzhen nodded again.
…
Farmers are busy with the autumn harvest. Master Zheng's errands here in Fucheng have been completed a few months earlier. Now, he is on errands in the capital. Zheng Ying has been saying that he will go to the capital. It will be time to set off in August and a half. The madam led her two daughters to stay here in Fucheng. They have been busy packing Zheng Ying's luggage for the past two days.
"Mom, what's so good about Fucheng? Let's go to the capital together!" Zheng Yan pulled her mother's sleeve and acted coquettishly.
In fact, their siblings grew up in the capital. Their father came here on an errand, so they came to Fucheng first. Now that the errand is over, their father has returned to the capital, and Brother Ying is also going to the capital to study. I don't understand why my mother still wants to go there. Stay here.
Mrs. Zheng was helpless towards her little daughter. It was not because of this evil obstacle that she should have accompanied her husband and son to the capital.
Mrs. Zheng rubbed her forehead, "In two years, and in another two years, when you two sisters are two years older, we will also go to the capital."
Zheng Yan still wanted to speak, but Zheng Yuan hurriedly comforted her, "I sent you a letter from Suisui. You said you would come to Fucheng in two days. Don't you still want to go to Lijiacun? After Brother Ying leaves, we can help pick fruits. "
Hearing the two girls mention Li Qiu Sui, Mrs. Zheng asked: "Last time you went back to Lijia Village, how was that girl? Why did she plant fruit trees in her house? Were they planted a few years ago?"
With this appearance all the time, life for the Li family should not be difficult!
The fruit delivered by Lijiacun before August and a half was really good. Not to mention the size and appearance, the taste and the words on it were unique. I didn't want to eat a few of them, so I kept some in Fucheng to give away, and sent them all to the capital.
When the old man sent a letter, he made a special trip through the inn's official road to ask if there were any more fruits and how many there were, so that they could all be sent to the capital. For this reason, Zheng Fu ran to Lijiacun in a hurry, trying to get all the fruits with words on them.
The Li family didn't know what they were thinking, and Zheng Fu was not willing to add money. I heard that they kept most of it for themselves and distributed it to other fruit sellers.
Mrs. Zheng also wants to meet Li Qiusui.
Zheng Yan had long forgotten the time she returned to the capital, "Sui Sui is pretty good. I planted the fruit trees when Sui Sui came home. I heard they are all fruit seedlings that are five or six years old. They were all bearing fruit when I bought them home." .This is the first year, and the number of fruits is not large.”
On the day Li Qiusui's house was built, the Chen family who sold fruit trees were also there, and she heard others murmuring.
Mrs. Zheng nodded and indicated that she understood. The girl on your left had been coming to Fucheng in the past two days. She did not stop the two girls from getting close to her.
Mrs. Zheng did not fully believe Li Qiu's good fortune. Zheng Ying's illness was just a matter of urgent medical treatment. As for the marriage, the two children were still young. In fact, she had other plans. The Li family proposed to let their daughter go home. She agreed to the request without saying a word.
Mrs. Zheng sent away her two daughters and led her mother to the study to see her son.
"Mother." Zheng Ying stopped and helped Mrs. Zheng to sit down.
Mrs. Zheng hummed, "I have two sisters and you, so you don't have to worry about food and clothing. You have to handle the books yourself. For three or two years, I'm afraid you will have to stay in the capital forever."
"Thank you, mother and sister. The books are almost ready. Qingheng will come over to pack the boxes later. It's my mother and sister's side...you have to take care of yourself." Zheng Ying talked to Mrs. Zheng. He actually didn't trust this place when he went to the capital. , also tried to persuade her mother and sister to go to the capital together, but Mrs. Zheng interrupted her every time, and stopped trying to persuade her again and again.
Mrs. Zheng was pleased with her son's thoughtfulness and said with a smile: "When you get to the capital, just study hard and get your name on the gold medal list as soon as possible. When I return to the capital, my son will bring glory to me!"
The mother and son were chatting and joking. Mrs. Zheng stood up and saw that Zheng Ying was hesitant to speak. She joked: "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you still acting like a child?"
Zheng Ying smiled at her mother, "Before I leave, I want to go to Lijia Village!"
Seeing Mrs. Zheng looking over, she hurriedly said: "My aunt's cousin Chang'an started his education very late. Although he is quite talented in reading and wants to achieve something, he is not a success in a short time. I have always studied for a few more years than him, so I can help him find something." A few books are enough to show your dedication!”
She knows her son better than her mother. Mrs. Zheng's heart skipped a beat when she saw Zheng Ying's appearance. She changed her mind and said with a smile: "Brother Ying, you are the eldest son of our Zheng family, and you will still have the responsibility to support the lintel in the future. The Li family You are grateful over there because you are of noble character. But this matter was something our two families had discussed in advance. Our family’s promises have been fulfilled one by one and we have never owed anyone..."
Is it gratitude... or debt? Zheng Ying was confused for a moment.
Mrs. Zheng tried her best to suppress the sudden thought, and continued with a smile, "If you feel sorry for yourself, you can just protect their family for a while if you have the ability in the future!"
She never mentioned Li Qiu Sui, "...there is no need to go to Lijia Village in person for this matter. You don't know, right? The Li family will come to the provincial capital in two days to buy people. The books you prepared will be placed with me first. When the time comes, just let them take it back with them.”
"Will you come with Suisui?" Zheng Ying came to his senses after saying this and said hurriedly: "I will send it to my mother after I pack it up."
Mrs. Zheng sighed in her heart, but she didn't show any signs of it on her face. Fortunately, she was going to the capital. She was still young. After two years, she would get to know more people and become more sensible. She should also forget about this childish feeling. There should be as few as possible here in Fucheng. come back.
…
Zheng Ying went to the capital the day before Li Qiu Sui came to Fucheng, and Li Sanzhu came with him. This was his first time in Fucheng, and he went to the east of the city to see the courtyard. There were only two elderly gatekeepers left there.
In fact, there is also a dental clinic in the county, but Li Qiu Sui has never been there, and wants to drop by Fucheng to have a look. The Zhuangzi given by the Guo family is also here. Zhao Da comes to visit from time to time, but she has never been there. After all, it was her own property, and it was the autumn harvest now, so she happened to take her father over to take a look.
As a result, one day's work was not enough, so I first went to Yahang to buy servants, three men and six women, a total of nine people. I sent two to the old house and left seven here.
The two men discussed going to Zhuangzi tomorrow and staying in the courtyard to the east of the city.
