peasant queen

Chapter 32

"It's not your bad idea, if you marry yourself, there will be so many troubles.

Now that Jiang Wan has fled back, shopkeeper Yuan's butler cousin came back and asked me for money.

If I didn't give it, he grabbed it with his hands and even had someone beat me up.Regardless of the face of relatives. "

What old man Chen didn't say was: besides the money given by the housekeeper last time, even the 50 taels he had with him were also taken away.

Thinking of this, old man Chen became angry again.He raised his fist and beat Chen Yushi until her nose was cleared and her face was swollen.

This time Chen Xing'er didn't dare to step forward to stop her, if she dared to step forward.Chen Xing'er believed that these fists would definitely land on her body.

Old man Chen was tired after the beating, he took a stool and sat down and said to Chen Xing'er: "Our family's money has been robbed, your elder brother wants to buy a yard.

You pack yourself up and go to town with me tomorrow.Ask shopkeeper Yuan to find you a rich man to marry. "

"I don't want to marry, my elder brother has half a year to take the exam, can I marry again after my elder brother passes the exam?

At that time, I can find a good husband's family, and my eldest brother will be selected as a scholar again.father!You have face too! " Chen Xing'er said anxiously to old man Chen.

"Do you think I don't know? Your elder brother passed the examination as a scholar, so the people you said are naturally better than now.

But you also need your elder brother to be a scholar. Now that you don’t even have the money to go to Fucheng for the exam, how can your elder brother pass the exam for a scholar?You tell me. "Old Chen said angrily.

Chen Xing'er heard old man Chen's words, and said incredulously: "How could it be? Don't shopkeeper Yuan have money? Can I ask him to help me?"

"You think I don't know! The housekeeper found out about what happened last time. Not only did he rob me of my money, but he also took away the 100 taels of introduction money from shopkeeper Yuan.

The butler also hated shopkeeper Yuan because of this incident, and he wanted to leave the money, and even left with the things that were given to him before.

Shopkeeper Yuan is also angry!For the time being, he won't give the silver to Heng'er. "

Old man Chen didn't expect that the housekeeper would be so heartless, he would turn against his cousin as soon as he told him to.

Even the things I sent back before have to go back, this is a long-term estrangement!

Anyway, we must find a way to get the money for Heng'er to go to Fucheng for the exam.

The only way now is to marry Xing'er and get a sum of money for Heng'er. Only when his son passes the examination as a scholar can the family turn around.

Chen Xing'er stopped talking after hearing this, she knew the importance of big brother's exam.But she was not reconciled to letting her marry like this.

Thinking of the recent changes in Jiang's family, Chen Xing'er's mind came alive again.

Originally, when Jiang Wan came back, she thought it was the master of Fucheng who asked her to go back to her natal home.Didn't expect her to sneak back?Where did she get so much money?

And it will come after a few days, it won't be for sale...

It must be, Jiang Wan is definitely no longer perfect.Otherwise, how many strong men can she escape as a woman?
Also, she came back in a carriage driven by another young man.

Fucheng is so far away from the village, who knows how they got here along the way?What did you do again?
Thinking of this, Chen Xing'er said to old man Chen: "Father! Don't be in a hurry to marry me off. Big brother is going to Fucheng to take the exam and pester me to do it."

"Do you have a solution? Let me hear what you can do? Don't screw up like last time." Old man Chen said with some disbelief.

"Don't worry! Father! I will definitely not miss again this time." Chen Xing'er said confidently.

"That's good. But you have to hurry up. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Not long after the Chinese New Year, your eldest brother will go to Fucheng."

"Got it, Dad!"

*****
Brother and sister Jiang Wan returned home in the afternoon, and Liang was relieved when he saw that they had returned safely.

As usual, the Jiang family chatted about what happened around them after eating.

When Mrs. Liang learned that Jiang Wan had bought a house in Fucheng, was it a big courtyard with three entrances?He opened his mouth wide in shock, and didn't recover for a long time.

Mrs. Liang doesn't agree with buying such a big yard in her heart. The family has just earned some money, and it hasn't been warmed up yet!Not anymore.

In Liang's heart, if he had money, he should buy land.Only when you have a field can you regenerate silver, and you don't have to worry about starving again.

Jiang Rong dared to see Liang's face and knew what she was going to say.Quickly explain to her the reason for buying this house.

Knowing that it was for the convenience of his brother-in-law's exam, Liang's complexion improved a little.It's just that I still feel that the house is too big to buy, so I should look at it again.

But I bought everything, and said nothing more.

It's just that next time you can't put too much money on Wan'er, lest she spend as much as she has.Liang shi thought in her heart.

After earning money, it is natural to pay wages to the brothers and sisters who help the family.

It's just that all the money on Jiang Wan has been spent, and the remaining 100 taels of Jiang Wan have other uses.

Therefore, the wages paid to Jiang Rongyu and his brothers and sisters can only be paid by Liang.

The next day, Mr. Liang paid his nephews and nieces one by one according to the account books kept by Fang Er.

The cousins ​​who got their wages consciously handed over the copper coins to their parents, but those younger cousins ​​were unwilling.

After finally having copper coins in their hands, they all want to go to the town to buy some delicious and fun things to come back!
Then, they were taken back by their respective parents for "education of love".

Everyone in the Jiang family made their first money with seasoning, and everyone was very happy.It is more active to go up the mountain to pick spices.

It's just that they didn't expect it.Soon after, someone in the village saw them picking these leaves or bark and grass roots, and followed them to pick them.

People in the village didn't know what the Jiang family could do with picking them.

But they saw that the Jiang family was making money, so they thought that these things could be exchanged for money.So, they followed suit.

Everyone in the Jiang family saw them randomly picking leaves from trees and digging grass roots underground.It hurts a few people to waste the good medicinal materials and spices on this floor.

Especially the fourth aunt Ma Shi, she herself is impatient, and she speaks straight.

Seeing such a situation, how can I bear it, I put down the bamboo basket behind my back and wanted to go forward to show them.Let them stop wasting good things like this.

Seeing her, Mrs. Zheng quickly grabbed her, shook her head and said, "Don't go there, wait until you go back and ask Wan'er."

"But... just let them waste like this? Is this all wasted money?" Mrs. Ma said unwillingly.

Mrs. Zheng pulled her to persuade her, "Don't worry, this mountain does not belong to our Jiang family. Others are free to pick it or not, we can pick ours."

"Yes! Let's pick it quickly! There are too many of them, and they will finish picking the leaves on the tree later." Li Shi also persuaded.

"Understood, then let's speed up! Don't be robbed by them again."

After finishing speaking, Mashi quickly climbed to the branches to pick fragrant leaves.

When he came back at noon to hand over the fragrant leaves to Jiang Wan, Mrs. Ma told Jiang Wan about it.

Jiang Wan didn't have any opinion after hearing it, and it didn't matter who picked it.As long as the spices they send meet her purchase standards, she will accept whoever sends them.
