The streets were still buzzing with gongs and drums, firecrackers were blasting, and beautiful fireworks were set off. The people in the county were still immersed in the joy of knocking down three mountains.
However, no matter how loud the noise outside is, it is still not louder than Aunt Feng Ya’s machine cannon:
"It's better now, Xu Zhen. You don't have to pay King Cui Hell's debt. You must keep an eye on him at the Yamen. If you keep an eye on him, I heard that Qiu Batian paid compensation after he ransacked his house.
"It must be the same for Cui Xiaotian. If you can get the compensation back, oh... that's a lot of money..."
"Yes, yes," Xu Zhen held his daughter-in-law Youmeng with one hand and saluted her aunt with the other. "Auntie is right, I will keep a close eye on her. As long as I can get the compensation back, I will do it as soon as possible.
Send it to aunt!"
Today, Xu Zhen came specially to take Youmeng home. It was dinner time and the food was already prepared, but her aunt seemed to have no intention of leaving Xu Zhen to eat.
"No, no, haha..." Auntie said a little shyly, "If you don't need them, bring them all. You should keep some for yourself. Save one or two for emergencies."
"Cousin," at this time, the second cousin, Qing Wenxin, interrupted inappropriately, "Since you are here, let's finish eating before leaving!"
"..." The aunt's face suddenly became gloomy, and she scolded her daughter, "I don't think your cousin is anxious to go home with a dream. They haven't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they want to go back to have a good meal to celebrate. Besides, we don't have to go home today."
You haven’t done anything delicious, have you?”
"Mom..." Chen Wenxin pouted and muttered, "Isn't the six-pound braised grass carp delicious?"
Because of this, I still need to strive for the best and continue to work hard.
"Look, my eldest nephew is still sensible, haha..." Auntie said with a smile, "Xu Zhen, although you don't have to pay off the debt in the future, I feel that the house is better sold, and you two don't need to live there.
It’s a big house…”
"But...you have to remember that a big tree attracts the wind, and wealth cannot be revealed. Our silver vault can only be used when we have no choice. Otherwise, it will only bring us disaster!"
"Okay, cousin." Although her cheeks were slightly red, Qi Wenxin still looked at Xu Zhen with special eyes, "Although it is vulgar, it has a different charm. It seems that your last confrontation with Xuanwu Academy was not an accident!"
"Sister Wenxin taught me some lessons," Youmeng said, "I can give it a try."
"Well," Youmeng nodded timidly, "I don't know why, but I just can't sleep. Master, what did you write? Can I help you write it?"
"Master," Youmeng took out the silver ingot from his sleeve and said, "Sister Wenxin is so kind to us. Since we found the silver, why don't we take some out and give them to them?
“Before, if it weren’t for their relief, our family would have been unable to survive!
"Also, also, my aunt loves to nag, but she is also a good person. Don't be angry with her!"
"It's not considered obscene," Xu Zhen corrected, "at most it's considered romantic!"
I dreamed of looking up and suddenly felt happy.
Maybe what Song Zhili said was right. They didn't dare to touch Song Zhili, but there was no guarantee that they wouldn't be touched.
…
The Jinxiu study where Wen Wenxin is located is full of female disciples. Xu Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up, he raised his hands and shook his head and said: "I can't ask for it, I can't ask for it..."
Xu Zhenze was holding a lamp in his study and was copying the book "The Way of Demons" with great care.
With that said, she took out a box of cakes from her sleeve and handed it to Youmeng: "Here, this is your favorite sugar cake, take it!"
"What's wrong?" Xu Zhen asked, "In the past, it was okay to be worried. Now that we are liberated and have money, you can't sleep?"
"My mother is really hopeless. Cousin, you must not care about it!" He Wenxin advised, "However, my mother is right about one thing, that is, three mountains have fallen, and good days are coming.
."
So, he also made up a sentence casually: "When you can do it, do it quickly, Sister Furong is a beauty!"
"Oh, it's true," Xu Zhen pretended to be stunned and said quickly, "When the salary is paid next month, I will send the meal money as soon as possible. Also, I will prepare a table at home another day, please treat me well.
Please, Auntie, these dreams are really disturbing you!"
"Youmeng, come here," Xu Zhen gently held Youmeng in his arms and said softly, "What do you think of the study?"
High in the sky, a firework exploded, lighting up the night sky and making it extremely beautiful.
Today, Youmeng finally has a look of relief and happiness on his face.
late at night.
oh……
But no matter what, Cui Xiaotian has just been executed, so they shouldn't take any action in a short time.
Upon hearing Xu Zhen's "Second Couplet", the two women were immediately in a state of laughter and laughter.
"Yeah." Youmeng nodded vigorously. It could be seen that she was probably hungry.
Naturally, he had to be extra cautious about such an important secret book, so he decided to make a copy for backup.
Seeing Youmeng's anxious look, Xu Zhen was even more pleased.
"Can you write?" Xu Zhen asked hurriedly.
Although he realized that there should be a court struggle behind the case between Qiu Zhennong and Cui Xiaotian, he could not possibly understand what the emperor's intervention meant.
Although the case was over, after all, they already knew the secret of the governor Han Wentao, which was always a hidden danger.
puff……
This time, Chen Wenxin couldn't bear it anymore, so he simply pulled Xu Zhen and Youmeng out of the yard.
"Um..." Xu Zhen frowned, "From my point of view, you should call her second sister, right?"
"It's good," Youmeng obeyed like a kitten, "I especially envy those senior students who can read and write. I..."
"Thank you, sister," Youmeng was even happier, "Sister, you are really thoughtful!"
"If you like it," Xu Zhen said without hesitation, "then I will send you to study in the study!"
Han Wentao's secret also made Xu Zhen realize that the darkness of those in power at the top was much more vicious than bullies like Qiu Batian and King Cui.
Pfft...
"Don't worry," Xu Zhen comforted, "Although we can't spend a lot of money, there is still no problem in improving our lives. Let's go to Desheng Building now and eat something good."
"Ah? Master? Really!?" Youmeng was greatly surprised, but still said in embarrassment, "But, I am a child bride, and the people who studied there are all ladies, I..."
"Master, I can't sleep." Youmeng came to Xu Zhen and said, "Can I stay with you here?"
He asked Youmeng to put the silver ingot back, and said happily: "Youmeng, how can I, Xu Zhen, be an ungrateful person? My uncle's family has been so kind to us, and I will definitely repay you twice as much.
While transcribing, he could not help but recall what had happened in the past few days.
"Oh, two...two..." Youmeng actually took it seriously. He immediately wanted to change his words, but he couldn't shout out.
Only then did Xu Zhen remember that he had never cared about You Meng's experience in Jinxiu Study.
Youmeng has finished cleaning the room and has gone back to his room to rest.
"Oh, Mom..." Although he was also used to it, he still felt extremely embarrassed.
However, the aunt was accustomed to her daughter's ruthless exposure, so she immediately put away the extra dishes and chopsticks without caring, and said at the same time: "We have been taking care of my little daughter-in-law for more than ten days. Although she didn't eat much, we didn't take away the food."
Fee?"
"Have a dream?" Xu Zhen asked hurriedly, "Are you still not asleep?"
"Oh..." Youmeng nodded. Although he understood the reason, there was inevitably a little disappointment on his face.
"Okay," Chen Wenxin smiled sweetly, "Since my cousin is really talented in couplets, then if you have the opportunity, come to our academy and let you compete with my students to see how capable you are!"
After bidding farewell to her second cousin, Xu Zhen walked down the street with her young daughter-in-law Youmeng.
"Don't listen to him," Qian Wenxin smiled knowingly, "We all call each other our own, and he just wants to take advantage of me. This is called: there is no advantage to ask for, and there is no real servant."
Hey?
Xu Zhen heard that this was his second cousin making fun of him.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xu Zhen suddenly heard a noise, turned around and looked up, and saw You Meng entering the study with an oil lamp.
"What a child bride, don't underestimate yourself!" Xu Zhen said quickly, "It's a good thing to like reading and writing. I will pay your tuition tomorrow. We can afford it!"
"Master!" Youmeng hugged Xu Zhen and cried in emotion, "You are so good to me! Woo hoo..."
"Why are you crying," Xu Zhen quickly comforted, "As long as you like it, I support you all! Don't cry, don't cry..."
