Flowers are expensive

Chapter 73
"Going to flip the house? Is this really a happy event?" Aunt Xie couldn't help asking.

"It must be near. Matchmaker Wu has already gone to Tian's house today with a letter of the horoscope. If you want to live a certain date, you should also settle down. My father saw that the two rooms on the west side are not good for a new house, so he wanted to check it out." turn."

"New house?" Aunt Xie was very surprised, and then asked, "Is this going to recruit Yi Sheng? Is he willing?"

Jin Ling'er showed a smug smile, but said modestly: "Maybe it's fate! My father has always loved Xiu'er the most, and he was reluctant to let her marry outside, so he wanted to recruit Tian Yisheng into the family. Anyway, the two families are separated. Isn’t it the same wherever you live?”

Those who heard it were all taken aback, always thinking that with Tian Yisheng's lofty and self-proclaimed personality, he would definitely not bow his head and marry into another family.But who would have thought that he would be willing to marry into the Jin family?

In the kitchen, Mrs. Zhen knocked the pottery bowl heavily on the stove, and cursed: "It's unreasonable!" Mrs. Zhen, who was scooping up the rice, glanced outside the door and said softly, "Sister-in-law, we are not in a hurry. Letting Tian Yisheng marry him, really blinded him! Just look at it, he will regret it until his intestines are green! We, Moxiang, are such a good girl, we don't have to worry about not being able to find a good husband!"

"I'm just not convinced, God doesn't have eyes, does he? Call them Jin's stall for any good thing, it's really a blessing not to kill them!" Zhen said angrily, "That Tian Yisheng is also a bastard with brain sores, he is so confused !"

Li Hua, who was standing next to the bowl, smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't blame Tian Yisheng, he's also in trouble!"

"Is he in trouble?" Zhenshi lowered her voice and said, "Where is he in trouble?"

"You just look at him as a scholar, with a good reputation inside and out. You only know that relying on a scholar has to work hard to study, but you don't know that you have no money and money, and it is not enough. Now the exam for a scholar is only in the county. The road is not far away, and you can spend money. But what about the future? We have to go to the state capital, or Bianjing City. Not to mention other things, the money alone is enough for poor families to make up for two or three years."

"Really?" Zhen Shi and Zhuang Shi sighed at the same time.They are really knowledgeable, and they used to think that a scholar can only be admitted if he studies well, and they never thought about any troubles or expenses.

Lihua nodded and said: "Tian Yisheng is also filial, thinking that his family lost his parents in the early years, and he had to rely on his grandfather and old couple to support his education for most of his life. If he didn't even enjoy some happiness, he would go He is afraid that he will hold grudges for the rest of his life. Now that he is in the Jin family, it doesn't matter whether he likes Jin Xiu or not. At least he doesn't have to worry about the troubles of rushing for the exam. , can you not help him take care of it? So he didn't study until he was a dog, but he was filial and wronged himself."

Mo Xiang, who was lighting the fire, suddenly frowned slightly, raised her head, and looked at Li Hua thoughtfully.Clutching his heart, Mrs. Zhuang sighed: "This kid is really good! When you say that, I sympathize with him. Who says it's not? There is no one in the Tian family, and relying on Grandpa Tian and the old couple, they can barely survive. It's okay. But in a few years, they will be in poor health, so what should we do?"

"I said!" Zhen said with a righteous face, "How could Yi Sheng have a crush on Jin Xiu? It must be that the Jin family promised this and that in order to marry their daughter, so that they could give Jin Xiu to Yi Sheng, or else Can Yi Sheng want that little girl? Sigh! Speaking of which, Yi Sheng is also a pitiful man. He lost his parents a long time ago, and if he loses Grandpa Tian and his old couple, he would really be an orphan. Alas!" Lihua glanced sideways. Mo Xiang took a look, she was the one who told Mo Xiang.But this little aunt seemed to be fine, she lowered her head and continued to burn the fire, she was really stable!
When Mrs. Zhuang was about to speak, Mrs. Xie came in and greeted, "Hurry up and serve the meal, what are you waiting for?"

Mrs. Zhuang asked: "Mother, the third brother isn't coming back? Did he go to his old man's house to eat and drink again?"

"How did you talk, third daughter-in-law? He just went to his husband's house to help, and it's common sense to have a meal along the way. Are you still not convinced?" Mrs. Zhuang snorted softly, bowed her head and remained silent.

After everyone was at the table, Mrs. Zhuang brought out a big bowl from the kitchen, which was filled with rice, and placed it in front of Manxing.Man Xing was a joking person, raised his eyes and smiled and asked Zhuang, "No more bowls? Why are you being so considerate to me today, daughter-in-law?"

Lihua looked down and saw that the bowl in front of Manxing was indeed the biggest.I saw Mrs. Zhuang said lightly: "Didn't the third child not come back to eat today? Anyway, I cooked his rice too much, so what if you eat an extra bite? I do my own work, eat my own food, and eat well." Upright and upright, who is going to gossip?"

These words were obviously aimed at Man Sheng, with a strong smell of gunpowder.Jin Ling'er raised her eyelids, cast a dissatisfied glance at Mrs. Zhuang and said, "Second sister-in-law, don't worry too much, my father asked Man Sheng to help out today, and the family work will not be missed."

"Hmph," Mrs. Zhuang said with a stern smile, lowering her head to pick up some vegetables, "I have pulled so much in the past, so what's the point of pulling some more? There are many brothers in the Xie family, so I'm not afraid."

"Second daughter-in-law!" Aunt Xie immediately lowered her face and shouted, "Eat when you eat, why do you talk so much? They are all brothers, and there is no separation. Why are they separated so clearly? Rest when you are tired." Come on, don't gossip so much."

Mrs. Zhuang brushed her hair around her ears, and said with a smile, "Man Xing is not that unfilial. If he wants to find trouble and hide from his work, he can only ask the fourth son to ask Mr. Zhuang for leave and come back to help." .Dad is sick, could it be that he is exhausted and paralyzed? Man Xing loves his brother so much, he can't do such a heartless thing!"

Hearing this, Lihua almost spit out the laughter from her mouth.This second sister-in-law is really powerful!Man Ting kicked her lightly under the table, and squinted at her, as if to say obediently eat your food, don't interrupt.

"Second sister-in-law, what do you mean?" Jin Ling'er couldn't help asking angrily, "Isn't it that Man Sheng went to my natal family to help today? Second sister-in-law, you don't have a natal family? You didn't let second brother go back to your natal family Helped? If you feel that Mansheng has done less work today, I will ask my two brothers to make up for it tomorrow, right?"

"Hey, Jin Ling'er, why are you so angry? If you want to quarrel, let's find a place where no one is there for a while, and Runhu is still sitting here, so you don't care? I can't stop with you if you scare him! "

Man Xing hurriedly tugged on Zhuang's arm, and then Guan lowered his eyes and continued to eat.Aunt Xie also gave Jin Ling'er a wink, telling her to stop arguing.Only then did the atmosphere on the table ease up.

After dinner, Manxiang went out to carry stones to Tian's family.While Lihua and Moxiang were drying their clothes in the yard, while they were thinking of some excuse to go out, Mansheng came back slightly drunk.He seemed to be in a good mood, burped, touched his slightly round belly in satisfaction, and said to Man Xing who was standing in the yard: "Second brother, I have to go to my father-in-law's house in the afternoon, and I'm not busy with work." When it's over, I won't go to the field."

Man Xing responded, turned around and dragged Mrs. Zhuang back to the house, for fear that Mrs. Zhuang would say something good or bad again.Man Sheng didn't pay attention, and caught Mo Xiang out of the corner of his eye, sat down on the steps and said, "Mo Xiang, Third Uncle has something to tell you!"

Mo Xiang stopped what she was doing, turned around and asked, "Third Uncle, what do you want to say to me?"

Man Sheng raised his legs, shook his legs twice like a master, and said, "Mo Xiang, you are not young anymore, although the relationship has not yet been settled, but it should look like a girl's house, right? What are you talking about?" He said to Man Cheng again, "Brother, you and sister-in-law should also take care of Moxiang. What kind of business is it to hang around Tian Yisheng's door all day? What's more, Tian Yisheng will come with me immediately. My sister-in-law is engaged, and they are all real relatives, it's too ugly to spread the word!"

"What!" Mo Xiang stomped anxiously, "Where did I wander around Tian Yisheng's house all day long? Third uncle, stop talking nonsense!"

"You still don't admit it?" Man Sheng pointed at Mo Xiang and said with a drunken smile, "Jin Ling'er's sister-in-law saw you at the door of Tian Yisheng's house today! You still talk to Tian Yisheng, do you admit it? Looking at Mrs. Xiao and Dong Chuan, is there such a thing?"

"Yes..." Mo Xiang glanced at Li Hua.Lihua frowned slightly, thinking that she hadn't seen Jin Ling'er's sister-in-law before?Is it possible to hide somewhere?Insidious enough!
"Don't you have anything to say?" Man Sheng smiled smugly, hugged his knees and said again, "Third uncle didn't wrong you, did you? Let me tell you, Mo Xiang, it's not like you can't find a man to marry, so you have to hang around Tian Yisheng's door He belongs to my sister-in-law, what kind of fun do you want to join in? Gossip will spread in the future, and the faces of both families will be ugly!" Zhen's face flushed, and she said to Mo Xiang: "You really go to Tian Yisheng Home?"

"Going to go..."

"You damn girl, did you take my words for granted?" Zhen Shi grabbed the broom outside the door and rushed over to beat up Mo Xiang.Lihua hurriedly stopped Zhenshi and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry! Moxiang didn't go alone, I'll go with her!"

"Are you with her? What are you doing at Tian's house?" Zhenshi asked strangely.

"Well..." Pear Blossom was really hard to say.

"What this and that? Why are you going to Tian's house for nothing? There are many gossips in front of the widow's house, but there are even more gossips in front of Tian Yisheng's house! Whoever makes him stand at the door will definitely attract people's gossip! What about Lihua? Don’t you know? An unengaged girl from Moxiang ran to the door of Jin Xiu’s man, what kind of business is it? You too, the young daughter-in-law didn’t stay away, but led Moxiang to the door?” Zhen is a brain Simple women, when they are in a hurry, tend to offend others with their words.

Mo Xiang was anxious, and hurriedly said, "Mother, how can you say that about my fourth aunt?"

"Moxiang, do you still have the face to help your fourth aunt?" Man Sheng said again with a drunken mouthful, "You take care of yourself first! Today my father-in-law wanted to come to ask for clarification, but I stopped Come on, otherwise you won't be able to eat lunch! You said that Yi Sheng has already made an agreement with my sister-in-law, so why are you joining in the fun? Just a few words with Yi Sheng can make him change his mind?"

"I didn't want to coax him..."

"Then what are you going to do?" Man Sheng shook his head contemptuously and said, "Forget it, Mo Xiang, you'd better stop messing around with your fourth aunt, so as not to bring you down. Listen to third uncle and be safe." Yes, don't provoke Yi Sheng, you are not the same as him, and you can't get his glory. Later, third uncle will find a good one for you, and marry you out, that's the right thing to do!"

"Who wants to take advantage of him?" Mo Xiang's eyebrows were on fire, "I don't want to marry him!"

"Oh, what are you pretending to be? Which girl in the village doesn't want to marry Yi Sheng? You are jealous of my sister-in-law who is going to marry Yi Sheng. Just like Sister-in-law Xiao, you want to coax her back! Let me tell you , don't lose face to our Xie family, or else all relatives will have to do it!"

"Uncle Three!"

"What are you shouting about? Girl, don't have a high voice, don't have such a violent temper, otherwise, who wants you to go? Go back to the house and stay, and don't run out with your fourth aunt..."

"What's wrong with running outside with me?" Li Hua asked Man Sheng coldly.

Man Sheng raised his eyelids, glanced at her with disdain, and said to Man Ting who was sitting on the wooden stairs next to him, "Fourth brother, you should really take care of your daughter-in-law! You have no manners at all when you speak so aggressively to your brother." , Calling my brother is really heartbreaking!"
