Nianfu was excited when Hui Niang slapped her daughter's dream of being a young lady away, "You think I don't want to go to your father? But where does the money come from? Even if you have money, this place is two thousand miles away from the capital.

As for Duoli Di, even if our whole family is on the road, what should we do if we encounter a tiger or a wolf?"

Uh... I forgot about the blessing. Nowadays, we are not in an era where asphalt roads are everywhere and you have to pay for tickets if you want to see wild animals. The tigers on Jingyanggang are hungry. If you are not a brother named Wu Song, don't go up there.

Breaking in forcefully.

Huiniang glanced at her daughter and sighed again, "In the past, whenever I heard that someone was going to the capital, I would ask someone to send a message. But these years, I haven't heard a reply."

Nianfu asked again in surprise, "Then...could it be dad..." He did it on purpose?

"No, your father will not change his mind." Hui Niang shook her head firmly, "Those three people are not from our local area. It is not known whether they went to the capital or not. I am afraid they are just coaxing me to give them money."

Even if you are lucky enough to bring the letter here, if your father has no money, how can you deliver the letter? Or if you can't meet anyone here, how can you bring the letter to me?"

Uh...just three letters in more than ten years, and the mountains are so high and the rivers are so far away. The probability of finding a person in the vast sea of ​​people is probably about the same as winning the jackpot, right?

Obviously, Huiniang, like most people, did not have that kind of luck.

Thinking again about the famous Hanyao lady Wang Baochuan, Nianfu felt a little uneasy, "Mom, have you ever thought about it, if dad, I am not saying that he changes his mind, but if his parents disdain us, then..."

It's very possible that he belongs to an official family! This marriage was not ordered by the man's parents, nor did he have three matchmakers and six betrothals, so it makes perfect sense for the man to turn his back and refuse to admit it.

Huiniang glanced at her daughter and said with a guilty conscience, "When your father married me, my parents were gone. He said that he could decide his marriage. When he went back, he wanted to find someone from home.

Brothers and sisters.”

While her daughter was in a daze, Madam Hui happily took out a purse and said, "Well, look, this is the concentric knot that your father twisted his hair and knitted it together with mine on the day we got married. He said that a person's life will only be the same.

If I can get married once, I will be his eldest wife for the rest of my life, and no one can change it."

Well, Nianfu, who had come back to her senses, said she no longer doubted her cheap father. In the old red purse, in addition to the concentric knots braided by two strands of hair, there were more than a dozen large and small peace charms.

"In the past few years, every time I go to the temple to burn incense, in addition to praying for your well-being, I will also pray for a peace charm for your father. Please ask the Bodhisattva to bless him well outside and reunite with our mother and daughter as soon as possible." Huiniang smiled.

, he put in the new one he wanted today. He rubbed his daughter's head and said, "You will get married in a flash. I really hope your father can take a liking to her with his own eyes."

Reciting blessings makes me feel quite uncomfortable.

Of course she couldn't say that Huiniang was too stupid or naive, and it was a good thing for people to believe in love. However, she felt more rationally that whether Huiniang's trust and waiting for these years was worth it needed to be verified by facts.

The place of verification is far away in the capital, a place that is almost out of reach for them.

Now even the Ouyang family can't work as temporary workers. The first thing their family has to solve is the problem of food. This is a cheating reality!

It was impossible to hide such a big event from the two old people after losing their jobs. Before the joy of the New Year had passed, the two elders of the Shi family were filled with sadness.

This is not because they are not optimistic, but because they are more accustomed to the unpredictable nature of nature. They know that after the storm, there may be a rainbow, or it may be a heavier storm, or there may be another flood. If you are not prepared, what will you do then?

After a while, Father Shi spoke, "There's no use worrying now. Let's think of ways to see what we can do."

This is the truth, Aunt Shi said, "I can move now, so there's no harm in doing some sewing."

Hui Niang immediately shook her head, "Your eyes have long been blurred. It doesn't matter if you make your own needlework. Who wants it from outside? You two should have a good life. It's enough for me to go out and work alone. It's enough for Nianfu to take care of you at home."

"

"How can that be done?" Nianfu firmly disagreed, "I also want to go out to find work, so I can share some of the work. But mother, where are you going to find work?"

Now Hui Niang couldn't answer.

Even if everyone in their family is hard-working, how can they find a place to recruit people during the Chinese New Year?

Making salad dressing to sell? It’s too unrealistic. This is a super oil-consuming thing. After making the sunflower seed oil that I squeezed at home, there was nothing left in the two jars of sauce, and there may not be anyone with this thing.

The gentleman also knows the goods and can sell them at an affordable price.

Chanting blessings can make a fire, but without vegetables, no matter how good the fire is, what's the use?

It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, that's why.

※

Ouyang family.

A violent cough was accompanied by the young man's angry voice, "...It's so outrageous! I just took things from home...I was forced to take Brother Qing to pay New Year's greetings...Why can't there be room for people? Like this

Drive people away...How can people survive in the cold weather?"

Old Mrs. Ouyang advised, "You've coughed like this, why are you so angry? Take the medicine quickly and take good care of yourself first."

"No... I have to go see them... If not, it's also good to give them some belongings. Ahem..."

"You're not allowed to go! If you go, won't it make people more angry? Have you forgotten what grandma told you earlier?"

"But they...ahem...they were implicated by me..."

"It's only been a few hours, but I can't live any longer. Are you so disobedient, are you going to force grandma to kneel down for you?"

Finally, the young man became silent. Half an hour later, the old lady dragged her tired body out, but sternly warned, "I have been serving the young master so well. Before he recovers, he is not even allowed to step out of the door."

Step! If anyone dares to protect him and do something, he doesn’t want to stay in the house anymore.”

The servants were obedient and sent the old lady out.

Bai Xiang turned around and said to his wife, "The young master is so ill, let Xuan'er stay and watch at night."

Bai Xiang's wife said reluctantly, "The current Qi is not good, and Xuan'er's body is weak. What if the Qi is over?"

Just when Bai Xiang was about to get angry, he suddenly heard Lan Gu say calmly, "You don't need to be there anymore. Let Aunt Shen guard the place with the green bamboos and willows during the day, and Mo Yun and I will be on duty at night."

Bai Xiang choked and wanted to say something, but his wife secretly pulled him away and said with a smile, "Well, we don't need us here, we will take care of the outside affairs. Why don't you follow the doctor to get some medicine?"

Bai Xiang had no choice but to give up. Bai Xiang's wife turned around and quietly took her son back to the room to warm the fire. She brought the ginger soup and said, "Drink it quickly. Mom put a lot of brown sugar in it to get rid of the cold and avoid getting sick."

"I don't want to drink!" Bai Xuan said with some displeasure, "We are all young masters. Look at the lives of the people around the second young master. How are we living? We will find out today when we play dice together.

The boy who is following the second young master over there has more than twice as many New Year red envelopes as we have here!"

"You still dare to say that? If your father hears this, he will beat you up! How much have you lost? Mom will make up for it."

"How much money do you have there? You guys are just stupid. Everyone else knows that you followed the third wife and got into trouble, so you are the only one left here to live a hard life!"

"You can't say that. My wife was very kind to our family back then. Besides, although we are a little poorer here, how easy is it for the young master to take care of us? How can there be such a comfortable job elsewhere?"

"I just look down on you like this! You have no ambition at all. We are all from the same house, why do we have to do the same job? We have little money and are frustrated? Humph, if you don't help me, I will help myself! Money

Give me."

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Go to Ben!"

Not long after, the hustle and bustle here reached the ears of the third wife, along with a few "well-intentioned" reminders, "The eldest young master is seriously ill this time. The third wife must be careful, in case the old lady gets sick."

Temper is not fun."

"Bah!" The third wife spit out the skin of the melon seeds and sneered again and again, "If she loses her temper and lets her go, what does it have to do with me? She even agreed to let him take Brother Qing to visit the New Year. We, Brother Qing,

It's okay if he's young. If something happens to him, it's because he has something wrong with his body. Don't be idle. Go and order the gifts I'm going to take back to my parents' house tomorrow. If there's any mistake, don't blame me for exposing you.

Skin!"

The servants did not dare to say anything, but those with good conscience were thinking that on such a snowy day, the second young master went in a warm car, but the eldest young master could only ride his horse. That trip yesterday

, I already had a cold, but I was punished last night. It would be strange if I didn’t get sick if I make this trip again today! The third wife is really too cruel for celebrating the New Year.

But the third wife didn't feel that she was cruel. Instead, she felt that she had been bullied. She asked the chubby little boy, who was twelve or thirteen years old, "You are the same. People can come back with a book when they go. How can you keep saying sentences after you go?"

You didn’t get anything out of it? Your mother prepared so many gifts, did they all get snatched away?"

"No!" the little fat man said unhappily, "I don't know how many people came to visit us to pay New Year greetings, but we didn't even say a few words before our husband sent us away. It was a waste of time and I was exhausted!"

"Bah, bah, bah, children's words are unbridled. What do you mean by the Chinese New Year? Then go and have a rest. You have to cheer up when you go to see your uncle tomorrow!"

The little fat man became energetic and asked, "How many red envelopes can uncle give you this year?"

"Screw you, you little money-minded person, I'm going to have to deal with you after all!" The third wife laughed and pushed him out. She also ordered her servants to take good care of him, so as not to miss tomorrow's trip.

The servant waiting next to him joked, "It is said that nephews and uncles are the closest to each other. The second young master cannot go anywhere else. As soon as he saw his uncle, he immediately became happy. This shows that the old saying is true."

The third wife also smiled and narrowed her eyes. Only the maidservant Zhenzhu looked at the laughter left by the child and felt lost. (I finally made an appointment with someone to learn how to play ball and feel Sister Na's e="Chonghua"]
