Chapter 13 The Fiance Arrives

If it is an ordinary fox, it is not worth much.

Fox meat can be eaten, but not everyone can accept this kind of meat.

And the one that Xie Rongzhao met, the red fox fur all over, was too eye-catching.

If this is made into a cloak, I don't know how beautiful it will be!
Xie Laosan also sold some wild animals in the town, but most of them were sold in restaurants as a dish, and this red fox, of course, had to be sold to wealthy families in order to get more money.

Xie Xiuwen didn't disappoint the precious girls, and took them to Master Song's house in the town.

The other party probably looked at Xie Xiuwen's face, and the price he offered was not low. The other party took the whole fox and gave him 60 taels of silver.

This is definitely a huge sum of money.

In fact, it’s just this piece of leather, and it’s not tanned. It’s supposed to not sell for this price, but it’s a coincidence that a lady from the Song family is going to get married this autumn, and she’s missing a piece of fox fur in her dowry. I have searched the whole county for my cloak, but the leather I have collected is still a little bit worse.

It just so happened that the color of the fur brought by Xie Xiuwen matched again. When Madam Song was happy, the price she gave was naturally higher.

Xie Xiuwen felt that the other party was kind, so he gave away the wild animals that Xie Laosan had beaten.

Mrs. Song was so happy that she even met them in person. When she saw the soft and cute Xie Rongzhao, she thought this child had round eyes, cute and festive, so she asked someone to take out a small silver lock and put it around Xie Rongzhao's neck.

The small silver lock looked a little old, obviously it had been worn before, and the weight was not too heavy, Xie Xiuwen reckoned it was about two or three taels of silver, so Guaibao accepted it.

Coming out of Song's house, Xie Xiuwen took their uncle and nephew to dinner first, and then took out a ten tael silver note and handed it to Xie Laosan.

Xie Lao San didn't want to accept it, and felt that he was guilty of taking the money. After all, this red fox was met by Sister Zhao, and logically speaking, it belonged to Sister Zhao.

"Third brother, keep it. If you weren't there, her family wouldn't be able to transport this red fox out with a single child. When it arrives, it will be cheaper for outsiders."

Xie Lao San was still unwilling to accept it.

Xie Rongzhao raised his head and said sweetly: "Third Uncle, keep it and buy candy for Brother Ye and Brother En."

Xie Laosan's eyes flickered for a moment, and when his two sons were mentioned, his heart was inevitably moved.

"Listen, baby, put it away quickly. Brother Ye is also in school. I heard that he is far less generous than Brother Hui in school."

As soon as Xie Laosan heard this, he became angry again. Why is Brother Hui so generous?
Isn't it just relying on the love of grandma on the top, and the hands are loose!
Xie Rongzhao tugged on Xie Lao San's clothes: "Third uncle, give it to brother, brother will be the number one in the exam!"

Xie Laosan immediately became happy again, who wouldn't like to hear people praise their children?

He directly picked up Xie Rongzhao, feeling that the second brother in the family was the best for him, so he smiled innocently, scratched his head and stuffed the bank note into his sleeve.

Xie Laosan's own prey can't be sold for a lot of money, and I'm afraid he may not even be able to earn two taels of silver.

However, Xie Xiuwen generously gave him twelve taels because he gave the Song family a head start, and Xie Laosan was naturally happy and grateful in his heart.

"Then I'll accept it. Don't worry, second brother. I won't just sit idly by if my little niece has anything to do in the future."

This is exactly what Xie Xiuwen wanted.

He can't go home every day now, and he will go to Fucheng to study in the future, and it is impossible to come back often. Naturally, he can't rest assured that only the mother and daughter are left at home.

Xie Xiuwen had long since given up on his parents and the head of the household, and now that his third younger brother was willing to take care of him, it was exactly what he wished for.

Xie Xiuwen was originally worried about money, but now his daughter has brought this blessing.

With these 50 taels of silver, plus what he saved earlier, he can at least last until next year's provincial examination.

Xie Xiuwen gave Xie Laosan money, naturally also meant to gag him.

It's good, he won't keep it private, but he also doesn't want to let the long house take advantage of it.

Xie Lao San took Xie Rongzhao back to the village, and saw Xie Rongen wandering around the entrance of the village as soon as he entered the village.

Xie Rongzhao got down from third uncle's arms, and ran towards Xie Rongen with short feet.

"Fourth Brother!"

Xie Rongen's body and appearance followed that of Xie Laosan, and with all his strength, when he saw the little cousin running over, he bent down and stretched out his hands to hug him up.

"You guys are back. Dad, didn't you say you took Guaibao up the mountain, why did you go outside the village?"

Xie Lao San chuckled twice: "Sister Zhao misses her father, take her to see her."

Xie Rongen hugged Xie Rongzhao and turned around: "Come back quickly, Saburo Cheng is here."

Xie Laosan was a little surprised. It's not a good year, why did Cheng Sanlang come here?
"Baby, do you still remember Cheng Sanlang?"

Xie Rongzhao tilted his head: "Brother Jingzhou!"

Xie Rongen was a bit apprehensive, and curled his lips and said: "You have a good memory! But you have to remember, even if he treats you well, he is not your brother. Only the brothers from our Xie family are your real brothers, you know No?"

Xie Rongzhao nodded, and said obediently: "I listen to fourth brother."

Xie Lao San was walking on the side, but he laughed loudly when he heard what the two brothers and sisters said!
"Siro, you are thinking too much. Jingzhou took your sister Zhao to play for several days in the first month of the lunar year. How can he not remember her? Besides, he and your sister Zhao are engaged, and they are not brothers and sisters. We will be married in the future!"

Xie Rongzhao's little face was reddish, he lowered his eyes and dared not speak.

Xie Rongen had a displeased face: "My baby is still young."

Cheng Jingzhou's house is not far from Xiejiazhuang, if you take a small road, you will arrive there in a quarter of an hour.

When Xie Laosan and his father and son came back, Cheng Jingzhou had already been invited to the front hall to talk, and his mother-in-law served tea.

Although Cheng Jingzhou was also from a peasant family, his family was upright, so it can be said that he was from a farming and studying family. Cheng Jingzhou's father was from a family background, and now he is also teaching in the county school. Strictly speaking, he is also a son of an official.

It is precisely because of Cheng's father's status that Mr. Xie attaches great importance to this marriage, and is also very kind to Cheng Jingzhou.

"Grandpa, we are back."

As soon as Xie Rongzhao walked up two steps, he saw clearly that the young man sitting in the room was her fiancé who died early in her previous life.

Since Xie Rongzhao came back from rebirth, it was the first time seeing him.

Eight-year-old Cheng Jingzhou has already gained a lot of fame in the county because of his early enlightenment.

Thinking of Cheng Jingzhou's accidental early death in his previous life and the despicable plagiarism of some of his articles, Xie Rongzhao's heart ached.

But in just such a trance, Cheng Jingzhou walked up to her with a worried expression on his face.

"Baby, what's the matter? But what's wrong?"

Xie Rongzhao couldn't hold it back, tears streaming down his face.

"Brother Jingzhou, it hurts so much!"
