The skilled widow is busy farming

In the afternoon, Xu Jing and Brother Chun came over to have a meal. They hadn't seen each other for a few days, so they came to talk to their brothers.

"Sister-in-law, we are here to see you. I want to eat delicious food. I know the ship has arrived. Does my mother have any gifts for me?"

Brother Chun started shouting as soon as he entered the door.

Xiaoya went out to greet a few people and couldn't help but laugh, "I don't have anything for you. My aunt said you were disobedient and I won't give you anything."

"Impossible. If you don't have money, I might as well have some shoes and clothes. I really forgot about me."

Brother Chun stomped his feet angrily, I am partial to the children who love the clan school, but they don’t love me anymore.

"Looking at how petty you are, how could it be possible without you?"

Xu Jingzhao came up to her brother-in-law's head.

"Oh! Third sister-in-law doesn't like to beat people."

Brother Chun is playing tricks.

"You are the stupidest."

"With you, how could it be without you? My aunt made a cloak and a cloak, as well as your shoes. I have packed them up and wrapped them for you. You can try them out and I will change them for you."

"There's no need for sister-in-law to work hard, I'll just do it."

"By the way, Qing'er sent a message to us today. I thought you were not well, so I didn't send it to you."

"I really can't go. I've been back to my parents' house these days. My mother is a bit cold due to the wind. I went to take care of my mother. My sister-in-law has made you tired."

Xu Jing quickly explained.

"Then you are busy with Mrs. Xu and don't worry about us."

"My sister would like to send my regards to my brothers and sisters-in-law."

The three clan girls came in and first greeted their brother and sister-in-law.

"Good girl, get up quickly. Let me take a look. It's not bad. It's refreshing and generous. When my mother gets better later, the Xu family will also have a banquet. Then I'll ask you to come and play together."

"Thank you, sister-in-law three."

"Brother Chun, sir, I have a letter for you two."

Xiaoli held back her smile and handed the letter to Brother Chun.

"Did my mother say anything? You're at your own home here. If you need money, just tell me. My brother is rich."

Brother Chun is very generous.

"The husband said that there will be an imperial examination next year and if you don't get the rank, she will come to the capital and beat you up. She also told you to be honest and stop causing trouble to your sisters-in-law all day long. You can make your own decisions when it's time to make your own decisions. You are not a baby, nothing else. They are all looking for your brother and sister-in-law."

"How can I not? I'll just say that she prefers my third brother, and she still doesn't admit it."

Brother Chun screamed angrily, which made the whole room amused.

While they were talking, Li Rui and Li Jing also came back from outside.

"Why are you laughing? You are so happy."

"You say my mother is partial to my third brother. Brother, tell me if my mother is partial to my third brother."

"Ah, aren't you the most partial to the second child? My sister-in-law always whispers to the second child alone and doesn't let us listen."

Li Jing thought about it for a moment, then blinked and said.

"That's right, my mother prefers the second brother. Hehe, you can't be ranked third brother, hahahaha!"

Brother Chun proudly sows discord.

The group of brothers rolled their eyes at him speechlessly.

"My mother gave you something, hand it over."

Li Qun reached out to Li Rui.

"Nothing at all. He's still showing off his temper despite how old he is."

Li Rui patted his brother.

"I don't believe it, I must have given it."

Li Chun also went to his second brother's back to have fun.

"I gave 5000 taels of silver notes to your sister-in-law. I asked people to buy Zhuangzi and land and look at it from a distance. My aunt said it is better to buy Zhuangzi. Let us buy fewer shops and keep a low profile so as not to make people jealous. I I think you and Laosan Zhuangzi are a little short, so please fill in more."

"I don't need it. I haven't used up the money my mother gave me last time, and I don't have much to spend money on. I have a house, shop, farmland, and property. I'm no less lacking than my brothers. You will have to raise children in the future, and you will spend more than me." , keep it for yourself."

Brother Chun shook his head. "Then I'll think about it. How about buying some forest land in Jiangnan?"

"That's okay. Girls also need wood when they get married and make furniture. My mother said she wants to go to Jiangnan Zhuangzi to see raw and cooked silk. My uncle and aunt also want to go, but they can't go now."

The inability to go means that the grandparents are too old and need someone to take care of them.

"Then go to Jiangnan and ask around. Can't you buy two big ones?"

Li Rui raised his head and glanced at his eldest brother and group brothers.

"Okay, I think it's okay to buy a big one, or maybe one from Fujian."

Xu Jing also nodded in agreement.

"Then I'll go find out."

"Put the food on the table. Here are some good wines from your hometown. You brothers can have a drink. Brother Chun allows you to have a drink."

Xiaoya loves Brother Chun very much. She basically spoils him and controls him strictly.

"Two glasses, I'll drink green plum wine."

"Okay, two cups then."

"There is no future, boys drink green plum wine."

Li Rui shook his head and hurt his brother.

"Hmph! Green plum wine is delicious. When I was in my hometown, my mother didn't care about me and allowed me to drink. I like to paint outside and drink green plum wine, and have a plate of peanuts. Those days are beautiful."

"As I said, I want to go back again. My hometown is better and more comfortable."

"But it's too comfortable. Who's going to make a career? I'll go back next year. Do you have anything to bring?"

"Nothing to bring."

Brother Chun has no money, and his money is all taken care of by his brother and sister-in-law, who all have ledgers. He usually only has pocket money, two taels of silver a month, and lives in Zhou Yi's place.

"Brother, you go back and buy some Zhuangzi for your aunt and mother, so that the old man can be happy and at ease. A few Zhuangzi will be enough for your old age."

"Okay, I plan to go back and buy Zhuangzi for my aunt and the others. There is no shortage now. I said I bought Dazhuangzi to raise silkworms."

"I met Lu Jun today. He said that the Lu family has a batch of handwritten books for the Li family. I will send them over later. Brother Chun, please come and check them and single out the ones that violate taboos."

"okay."

"Then I'll come over in a few days."

"I am coming too."

"We can help too."

The clan girl quickly spoke.

"it is good."

"Why did the Lu family suddenly send books?"

"That's compensation for my sister's injustice. She didn't mention it and I can't take care of it. It's best for her to handle it herself. If it doesn't work, we won't have time to go."

"Well, what Auntie means is that girls should also learn to face all kinds of troubles and problems independently. They can't rely on their brother and sister-in-law to take care of everything. That would make them too busy."

Li Jing said this to wake up a few girls.

After dinner, the men went to the study to talk. The sisters-in-law sat and chatted in the main hall, and the clan sisters were accompanying them to make tea.

After the men came out, Xu Jingcai and her brothers returned home. They were close to each other and often came over to have a meal.

Brother Chun didn't go back and went to sleep in the front yard. He had his yard here and kept it there.

The next day, Xiaoli specially put on makeup and went to ask Xiaoya for advice.

Xiaoya gave some pointers, and Xiaoli nodded knowingly.

The Lu family's books were delivered, and Xiaoli and the others helped sort them, sort them and make book lists. They also checked to see if there were any banned books and picked them out.

Brother Chun also came over to help. Everyone was laughing and joking, and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy.

"I bought snacks for you to take to the yard. You can eat them when you get back soon. Tell me what you want to eat, and I will buy them for you."

"Thank you brother."

The three girls were very happy.

Brother Chun also bought palace flowers for the three girls, each with a full set of hair and facial hair. How can the girl's family not have a few sets of jewelry to wear? The family is not short of money now, so the girls cannot be wronged.
