Pastoral affairs

Although she is not a real child, Cui Wei has never encountered any excitement since she came to ancient times for several years.After dinner, the drums and gongs at Pan's house became lively. Cui Wei and Nie Qiuran were full, and when they took the bench out together, they happened to meet Cui Shifu and others.They also wanted to go out to watch the excitement, Cui Shifu and Cui Jinghuai came over to say hello, Yang and Wang probably thought about the unhappiness they had with Cui Wei during the day, and they didn't even turn their eyes at the moment one time.

Cui Wei ignored them, and just chatted and laughed with Cui Shifu and his son, took the bench and went out.The Pan family's side was already full of tables and chairs, and the open space in front of the mansion had already been cleared out, and a simple table was temporarily set up.The surrounding area was already full of people, and a large shed was opened by pulling the green cloth on the head.It's not completely dark at the moment, but with the curtain above the head and a little torch inside, it naturally looks a bit dark.This time, the Pan family paid a lot of money, and there was no sign of the Pan family inside, but they saw a few distant relatives of the Song family and other Master Pan, smiling and greeting the guests on behalf of the Pan family.

Originally, Cui Wei came over after eating, thinking that she had come early, but unexpectedly, when she first arrived, she saw that people were crowded in front of her, and many places a little closer to the stands could not even squeeze her feet in.There were many unfamiliar faces in the crowd, and it looked like people from the next village had come over. Cui Shifu and the others squeezed in front, opening a way for Cui Wei and her two to come out. The people around laughed and cursed, many of them were relatives Yes, no one is really angry.Many children were jumping up and down and playing happily. Before the performance started, the arena was already buzzing.Cui Wei didn't like such a crowded scene at first, but she finally lost her interest, and looked back at Nie Qiuran, wanting to go back.

Nie Qiuran stretched out his arms to protect her in his arms, but no matter how tightly squeezed, the upper body was not squeezed, but the lower body was stepped on several times.Although people are wearing cloth shoes at the moment, stepping on someone is not as painful as being stepped on in previous lives.But after a few more times, Cui Wei couldn't bear it any longer, just as she was about to raise her head, someone already waved at her not far away: "Girl Cui, come quickly, I have reserved a place for you here. Among the crowd of people, Cui Wei turned her head to look with difficulty.Not far away, I saw Wang Baoxue's mother, Liu, stepping on some long chairs, with someone sitting beside her, turning her head and waving at herself.

Now Cui Wei just nodded reluctantly even if she didn't want to go, and the two of them squeezed past while Nie Qiuran was protecting her.Great winter.Both of them were sweating profusely.Cui Wei lifted her sleeves to fan the wind, and Mrs. Liu on the other end approached her and whispered: "This time the Pan family is very lively. It is said that Mr. Pan's family has sought the post of county magistrate, but the ninth-rank official, listen It is said that the annual offering of silver is more than 100 taels, my dear." After Liu Shi finished speaking, she smacked her lips with a longing look on her face.

For farmers, more than 100 taels is not a small amount.What's more, it is more than 100 taels a year, which is not easy.No wonder Mr. Pan sold a lot of land and wanted to find this job for his son. You must know that he earned back the land he sold in a few years.What's more, once you have the power, the money is second. Cui Wei has been in the ancient times for a few years, and she knows a little about the normal situation at this time.But if you have a high degree of study, in the end it is only for the purpose of becoming an official. Therefore, it is only serious to seek a family background, get a fame, and seek a shadow for future generations. Many people sharpen their heads and want to be an official. Those with money, dare not do business, for fear that their own status will be lowered, and their descendants will not be able to enter official careers in the future.

Liu turned her head and talked to Cui Wei in a low voice, while Wang Baoxue quietly greeted Nie Qiuran and stopped talking.He was detained by Mrs. Liu to study two years ago, and he has become a lot more reserved. Unlike before, although he doesn't talk too much, he still has a bit of mischievousness in his bones. After not seeing him for a few years, Wang Baoxue has become more refined. Cui Wei took the time to talk to Mrs. Liu, so she glanced at him, and saw that he was respectful to Nie Qiuran but a little reserved, she couldn't help but want to laugh:

"Second Brother Wang is also very good now, and he is studying." Back then, Wang Baoxue knew her well, and when she opened her mouth, Wang Baoxue's eyes became more smiling, and he said quickly: "I made Sister Cui laugh. "At the side Liu saw the smile on his son's face, and then thought of his getting more and more mature, he sighed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "He is not so powerful, but I just know a few more people. Words, it’s all about being able to write your own name when you go out in the future, Cui Sanlang can bear it now, and now he can earn money in the city.”

Once Liu's mouth spoke to Cui Wei, Wang Baoxue naturally couldn't get in his mouth. The light in his eyes gradually faded, and finally turned into a smile on his lips, listening to Cui Wei and the two quietly. Speak up.Nie Qiuran glanced at Wang Baoxue meaningfully, then put his hands on the little girl's waist, and looked around. Cui Wei talked to Liu for a while, and someone seemed to be calling her.The Pan family was very talkative and their voices were loud. After finally following the voice, they saw Mrs. Sun sitting at a big table full of snacks and waving at them.

The place was so spacious that almost no one dared to go there to be crowded, and there were special people waiting there. Liu Shi followed Cui Wei's eyes and looked over, enviously said: "Your mother-in-law called you, Mrs. Nie's status is different, With Nie Juren here, it’s no wonder that Master Pan has arranged tables and chairs for you, sitting here is better than ours.” Although she was envious in her words, it was not jealousy, Cui Wei has always had a good impression of Mrs. Liu, how could she want to Went to squeeze with Mrs. Sun, and when he heard the words, he smiled lightly, took Nie Qiuran's hand, stood up and said to Mrs. Liu, "Aunt Wang, I'm going to say hello to my mother-in-law first, my stool is still here, help me I'll see, I'll be back when I go." When Liu Shi heard that she wasn't leaving, she immediately smiled and nodded quickly.

Cui Wei squeezed all the way to Nie's house, and when she got to Sun's, she complained to her: "What kind of people are we, Da Lang also has fame, no worse than Pan's Xiao Lang, you go and talk to them What are you doing sitting together, we don't have to lose face to our Nie family." She complained to herself, Cui Wei smiled and didn't answer, Nie Qiuran listened carefully, with a smile on her face, like He listened very seriously, but Cui Wei had been married to him for several months, and the two of them faced each other day and night, so they didn't understand what he was thinking, probably this guy had already turned his attention away.

Mrs. Sun was still complaining, but Mrs. Nie was getting impatient.Nie Qing was not here, so the couple of the Nie family occupied a table, and the people around them gave them envious and flattering looks. This kind of look made Sun's back straight, and a smug smile appeared on his face. .Cui Wei didn't like being stared at by others, so she slipped around Mrs. Nie and laughed, "Eunuch, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, are you here today?" Nie Qing's marriage has already been decided in recent days Come down, but it has not been reported to the outside world. The Chen family is preparing the dowry now. As long as the dowry is picked, the marriage will be considered a certainty. Even now, in the eyes of Sun, it is impossible to escape. When asked, she waved her hands and sneered:

"Now that she's getting old, she spends all day looking out for something, and she has to make shoes and socks at home. How can she have time like you?" She wanted to talk about it later, and Mrs. Nie gave her a warning look. I also know that Master Nie doesn't want others to see her as a joke. She is in a good time today, and she doesn't want to be driven back by Master Nie because of this matter.So he endured the breath, and closed his mouth after only one sentence.

Cui Wei nodded, and then said a few words to Sun. Someone had already moved gongs and drums to the outside, and someone started to tune the erhu strings. Sun's attention was immediately attracted. Nie Qiu Ran squeezed Cui Wei's palm, and the two retreated quietly.The Pan family came out half an hour later. Cui Wei had seen Master Pan a few times in his original impression, but he couldn't remember what he looked like. Only majesty and fear remained in his memory.Seeing you again this time, Cui Wei is naturally not as timid as the original owner. She raised her head and saw that Mr. Pan was about fifty years old, with a goatee, and a medium to thin figure. He was wearing a royal blue shirt with red blessing embroidered today The satin jacket, I don't know if it's because he is in good spirits on happy occasions, he always has a smile on his face, not like the frightening appearance in Cui Wei's memory.

The Pan family man who sought an official position was his eldest son, Pan Shiquan, who was about 24 or 28 years old. He had fair skin and an ordinary appearance, but his eyes were black and bright, and a beard had begun to grow on his lips.Although the Daqing Dynasty also had parents who had body, hair and skin, it was only for hair, nails and beards were not included in this trap, but at this time most people regarded growing sideburns as beautiful, so the average man reached the age of 28. On the Internet, there are many people who have started to grow beards.This Pan Shiquan has already started to grow a beard, which is enough to prove that he is at least [-] years old at this time.

This person was wearing a lake green brocade robe, and he looked quite imposing.Nie Qiuran looked at him, and there was a flash of coldness. Most of the villagers' women around turned their eyes on the Pan family, and this Pan Shiquan was considered an official in the eyes of everyone in Xiaowan Village. , many unmarried girls looked at him, Nie Qiuran used the torch to see Cui Wei's eyes also fell on him, the corner of her mouth twitched, she approached Cui Wei's ear, and pinched her waist One, a little embarrassed: "What are you looking at! He is not so good-looking, don't look at him, I am much more beautiful than him!"

"Don't make trouble!" Cui Wei was pinched by him to laugh, and while grabbing his hand, she whispered close to his ear: "Let me tell you, this man can't grow a beard at such a young age, just look at it." This young master of the Pan family started to grow a beard when he was still young. When he was 30 years old, he would have a big beard. He might look a few years older. His wife was younger than him. Aren't people standing together like a father and daughter?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
