Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 43

Guan Wen and Li Xin bid farewell to the Li family, and Liu hurriedly took out a small piece of silver, and quietly handed it to Li Xin, "Hold it for yourself, and I have a solid foundation in my heart."

Li Xin had told Mrs. Liu earlier that she would not give money when she came home, so Mrs. Liu didn't dare to stuff too much at the moment, but there were a lot, like one or two.With his back to Guan Wen, Li Xin didn't dare to move too much, he pushed twice but could only bear it, and whispered: "Mother, don't do this in the future."

Mrs. Liu replied "I know I know" repeatedly, and with a cheerful face, she went to Guan Wen again and said to him, "Young master, be careful on the way, I'll let Da Lang see you off."

"No need for mother-in-law..." Guan Wen didn't have time to push, Li Erlang came out carrying a basket of things, stuffed them all into the belt that Guan Wen carried on his back, and tried to lift them, Li Erlang said with a smile: "Brother-in-law , not heavy, just a little bit of care, for the in-laws and the others."

Guan Wen accepted it in embarrassment, and Li Xin hurriedly smiled and said, "Understood, don't send us off, brother, we all know the way."

"That's right, it's the time of threshing millet, and the family is busy, so there's no need to deliver it." Guan Wen also echoed.

The husband and wife insisted, so Liu didn't force it. Watching them leave Li's house hand in hand, Liu sighed: "I hope this Guanwen is a good one."

"Brother Wen is not bad." Li Dalang smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry too much."

Li Erlang also said: "Brother Wen doesn't talk much, but he feels at ease when he looks at it."

Mrs. Liu was very happy to hear her son praise her son-in-law. She looked around and found that Li Ming hadn't spoken, so she asked him, "Why don't you speak?"

Li Ming twitched the corner of his mouth slightly: "What are you talking about?"

"Say your brother-in-law is okay!"

"pretty good."

After Li Ming finished speaking, he turned around and went back to his room, but he was thinking in his heart that the scholar from the Guan family was studying with Mr. Zhang Zishan...

He told his brother-in-law about his husband's evaluation of Zhang Zishan, both good and bad, but he didn't tell his brother-in-law that Mr. Zhang Zishan had committed crimes before and was not imprisoned, which happened to be because of his disciples at that time. There was a Jinshi, the county magistrate did not dare to offend the Mr. Xinke Jinshi, so he turned a blind eye, and even sealed the mouths of those who knew about it, so there was no word about it .Li Ming knew about this secret, and he heard his husband Gu Changsheng once drunk and muttering.

When his husband talked about Zhang Zishan, he didn't just disapprove, it was simply contempt——Zhang Zishan's crime was nothing but a crime.

Although he is young, he understands this crime the most.It is legal to do that kind of behavior to brothel women and buy and sell with money.But for a girl from a good family, that is a crime, and it is a felony.

Today's sage is a wise king, and he is the fourth emperor of the dynasty, and it is time to show his grand plans.His family's husband said that the Holy One is young now, and the previous three generations of emperors have accumulated a lot of humerus veterans.In recent years, His Majesty has made more moves to open Enke widely, and those who are lightly paid and poorly endowed are great opportunities for students like them.On the other hand, it severely cracked down on crimes, and wanted to serve as an example to others, and imitated the grand occasion of "not picking up things on the road and not closing the house at night" during the reign of Emperor Dexin of the previous dynasty.If the people are stable, the government will be clear and bright.

When Gu Changsheng talked about these things with Li Ming, his eyes were bright and sparkling.Li Ming is a student who is particularly valued by his disciples. Although he has not yet passed the entrance examination for children, Gu Changsheng feels that this child is broad-minded and has an open-minded appearance. The style of officials and ministers, so they are usually cultivated more.

Therefore, Li Ming sometimes knows more about the outside world than some of the village kids who also studied under Gu Changsheng's school. This is the result of Gu Changsheng's small cooking.

There are two flowers on each table.

Li Ming thought about it, but still felt that it was not good to tell his brother-in-law about it.If the brother-in-law and the younger brother think that Mr. Zhang Zishan is a model teacher, he doesn't need to say so much. After all, although Mr. Zhang has a problem with his character, he does have two brushes. There are many young students and scholars under his door. fact.

Simply put this matter aside.

As for Li Xin and his wife left, Li Houbo's two sons, Li Jin and Li Yin, came to Li Houzhong's house to make an apology and made a circle, hoping that Li Houzhong and their father could repair their relationship, and even reconsider the matter of giving their grandma the coffin. Well, that's another story.

It was late when we got back to Guan's house, Axiu and Amei were busy in the kitchen, Li Xin greeted Lao Guan and Guan Ming, and rolled up his sleeves to prepare dinner as usual.Guan Wen took out all the gifts prepared by Mrs. Liu and gave them to Guan Ming, saying, "This is from my mother-in-law, please take it, Dad."

"Oh, my in-laws are so polite..."

While speaking politely, Guan Ming went to put it together and looked through everything.Guan Zhicheng snorted softly, and said to his father, "Father, why are your eyelids so shallow?"

Guan Ming was not happy, "What's wrong with my eyelids? You shit and fart, don't you eat whole grains? Why don't you look down on these things?"

Axiu happened to come to the main room to set the bowls and chopsticks, and happened to hear the conversation between the father and son. She didn't save any effort when putting the bowls on. With a "snap", she looked at Guan Zhicheng and said, "The things that sister-in-law is going to return to the door, You were chattering around in a weird way, as if your sister-in-law was using things from our family to subsidize her mother’s family. Now that the sister-in-law is back, the uncle-in-law and the others have prepared such gifts, and you said that if you accept us, you will be blindsided. I am I don’t understand, could it be that elder brother and sister-in-law shouldn’t take anything with them when they go home, and should bring some silk, satin, pens, ink, paper and inkstones from their in-laws when they return home to be high-end, right? , you are deep!"

Guan Zhicheng snorted again, "I won't tell you what a woman says."

"you!"

Axiu slapped her chopsticks on the table with a "slap", pointed at Guan Zhicheng and said tremblingly, "You really went to study for a while, and the reading became more and more unreasonable! What are you still reading! In our village There are many people who have never read a book but are more sensible than you, even children, but the more you read, the less you look good! Dad and elder brother saved money to let you go to school, and this is how you repay Their!"

Then he said to Guan Wen: "Brother, don't you care about him like this? I know that my sister-in-law will definitely not speak ill of him to you. My sister-in-law is not a gossip behind his back, but you have also seen it, in front of your face He’s always like this, and he doesn’t know what he’s muttering behind his back! His temperament, it’s not sure how others will pass him on outside!”

When Guan Wen was brought out, Guan Zhicheng felt a little weak.

But Guan Zhicheng also has his own amulet, doesn't he?

Guan Zhicheng immediately ran behind his father, Guan Ming. He was also smart and knew how to divert conflicts in time. He frowned half worriedly and said to Guan Ming, "Father, look at Fifth Sister, she is splashing! Now the whole village has spread the word that Fifth Sister Taking a hatchet to kill Sun's family, she is an unmarried girl, how bad her reputation spreads! Now she is still in the top position...she is eighteen, no matter how casual she is, who dares to hire her !"

Guan Ming protected Guan Zhicheng, nodded vaguely and said, "Axiu should say kiss..."

One sentence brought up Axiu's marriage, and the father and son ignored the serious topic.Seeing her father's attitude, Axiu felt aggrieved, sat down on the long bench and cried, "I know you protect the sixth younger brother, isn't it because he has read a book! To put it bluntly, if The eldest brother and the fourth brother go to school, maybe they have higher achievements than him. He is already 16 years old, but he is not even a child. He still thinks that he is very good at the market all day long. Dad, you protect him Well, one day you will protect him into nothing but free food and drink, and you will cry! Do you still expect him to be an official lord so that you can be respected? Can you count on him? ..."

Guan Wu has a stupid mouth, he panics when he sees her crying, he pats Axiu on the back to coax her, "Fifth sister don't cry, don't cry..."

Guan Wen looked at his silent father, and then at Guan Zhicheng whose face was black with anger, and sighed in his heart, but he didn't want to criticize Guan Zhicheng in front of his family, for fear that his self-esteem as a scholar would be hurt. Unable to stop, he said lightly: "Lao Liu, you are not young anymore, you should be sensible, don't let daddy worry about you all day long."

"It's more than just worrying about him. I'm busy day and night, and most of it is used for his education. In the end, I raised such a heartless thing, who doesn't respect his elder sister-in-law and ignores his own sister..."

"Axiu, don't say a few words."

Guan Wen is also helpless, although this girl is sensible, but she is too straightforward, and sometimes it is easy to suffer... Isn't this remark adding fuel to the fire?
Sure enough, Guan Zhicheng immediately said: "Why am I heartless? Disrespecting my elder sister-in-law? If the elder sister-in-law deserves my respect, I don't say a word! Ignore my sister? You help others to speak, so why don't I ignore you?" I can't argue with you!"

"Who do you say is someone else!" Axiu was on fire at this moment, and she said, "A sister-in-law who marries her elder brother is the eldest sister-in-law. How can you be someone else? You don't respect your elder sister-in-law. Why don't you respect your elder sister-in-law?" !"

Guan Zhicheng was about to say that Li Xin came from a brothel with a bad family style, and that being able to read and write is something women shouldn't learn, etc. Axiu rushed ahead and said, "Don't tell me that sister-in-law is not there. If you have stayed in a clean place or something! My sister-in-law can crawl out of that muddy pit and earn a human appearance, which is better than some people who talk like dogs and spray dung! If you can earn some fame It's not too late to tell me these things! You don't have the right to say anything about sister-in-law now, you can't even compare to sister-in-law's fingers!"

What Guan Zhicheng hates the most is comparing him with others, especially this time when he really despises Li Xin, who he really despises and yells at Axiu: "What do you know, a girl!"

"Okay, okay, don't say a few words! Don't say a few words! Cough cough..."

The old man patted the table twice, glared at Guan Ming and said, "You don't care if you quarrel? What about you Tai Sui? Are you my father or am I your father?"

Guan Ming quickly coaxed his father.

He snorted at the old juncture, "Stop arguing, Wu Wazi is right, Liu Wazi doesn't behave properly, and will change in the future. Eat and eat."

The old juncture is worthy of being the head of the family, and the world is settled with one word.
