Chapter 110 Chapter 120
Section 120 He Shusheng was admitted as a scholar
He Yu'er thought for a while, then said with a smile, "The third young master told me."
Anxiu was very dissatisfied with her answer, but she couldn't find any flaws.He Yu'er wanted to tell An Xiu everything, but it was only a moment of courage.After thinking about it for a while, she didn't want to say anything and closed her mouth tightly.
In the following days, He Yu'er stayed at home less and less, and went to Huo's house more and more.Anxiu was very disappointed, thinking that He Yuer disliked her family, and instead fell in love with the wealthy life of the Huo family.But he couldn't bear to blame her. After all, the poor living conditions of his family were not her fault, but his own incompetence.
Everyone has their own aspirations, Anxiu can only comfort herself like this.
He Shusheng went to participate in the boy's test after Qiuhou, and Anxiu wanted to accompany him.But because she is a woman, she is not allowed to enter the sacred place like the examination room.In ancient times, women were often not allowed to appear on important days or important places, otherwise it would bring bad luck.Perhaps it was an excuse for his failure, and more of a discrimination against women from the bottom of his heart.
But how can humans reproduce without women?I don't understand why the ancient Chinese still turn a blind eye to such a sacred duty given to women by God.
Anxiu couldn't accompany He Shusheng, and He Youbao was too old to help, so Li Huzi had to send a long-term worker to follow him.Li Huzi thought for a while, and told Anxiu that it was most suitable for Nangong to swim.He is young, and looks refined, he can pretend to be a little book boy.
"Are you sure, he won't be treated as a woman?" Anxiu looked at Nangong You and said.He is indeed gentle, but steals the spotlight, with him, He Shusheng is more like a book boy.
Li Huzi and Nangong Youchu both twitched their mouths and did not refute.
In desperation, Nangong swims out and follows.
After taking the boy's test, He Shusheng stayed in the county seat, waiting for the results to be announced in ten days.
On the day when the results were due to come out, Anxiu was also very anxious, so she ran to the county seat early in the morning to secretly inquire about the situation.When I ran to the county school, it was already crowded with people. Anxiu didn't see He Shusheng, so she asked the person next to her about when the grades would come out, and the person told Anxiu: It was noon.
Now there is still about an hour before noon, Anxiu had no choice but to know the inn where He Shusheng lived and its room number, and wanted to see if he was in the room.
The young man took her upstairs and said that Mr. He hadn't gone anywhere in the past few days except to go downstairs to eat and stay in the room to read.
Knocking on the door, He Shusheng's voice was a little impatient, but he still smiled: "I'm resting, I don't feel well, go play by yourself."
When Anxiu heard the tone, he probably was a student of the same period. He asked him to go out for fun, but he rejected him. He was very relieved in his heart and coughed: "Shu Sheng, it's me, open the door!"
"Xiu, why are you here?" Opening the door, He Shusheng said excitedly.
Anxiu smiled, and closed the door casually. Seeing that he was writing with pens and ink on the table, she tapped his forehead: "Today is out of the list, and you are still practicing calligraphy in your room. Everyone ran to read the list." Yes, you are so leisurely."
"If you pass the exam, you will pass the exam. It can't change anything if you look at it early and late. It's too crowded in the morning, and I can't stand it. Today's list will be kept until the evening. I agreed with Youchu, eat I'll go see it after dinner. But he still went first." He Shusheng said with a leisurely smile.
It turned out that the little book boy had already left, no wonder he was so leisurely and calm.However, his words, regardless of whether they were true or not, were open-minded, which made An Xiu feel relieved.Attitude to life is very important, more important than ability.Only by being open-minded can we achieve a career.
Anxiu always felt in her heart that He Shusheng would definitely have great promise in the future.
"Shu Sheng, if you pass the exam as a scholar, I will hold a big banquet, treat all of us in Zhuangzi to a meal, and don't charge a penny for gifts, so that everyone will be happy." An Xiu said boldly.
"Then prepare your money." He Shusheng said affirmatively, "I will definitely pass the exam."
The two looked at each other and laughed unconsciously.During this period of time, he seemed to have grown taller again. Anxiu stood in front of him. Before, she used to look down at him, then looked at him at the same level, but now she started to look up at him.
But still thin, so thin that people feel distressed.Anxiu couldn't help but asked with concern: "Shu Sheng, after being admitted as a scholar, do you have to wait for the provincial examination three years later?"
He Shusheng nodded.
"I heard that if you are selected as a scholar, you will go to the county school to study. Is it necessary?" An Xiu asked again.
"It's not necessary. It's just that if you are selected as a scholar and go to the county school to study, there will be some financial supplies. In addition to giving some gifts to the master during the New Year and holidays, there is nothing to spend. The county school provides everything." He Shusheng said, "Why? , you don’t want me to go to the county school?”
"I really have this idea. Anyway, I don't have to go, why don't I hire a teacher for you and teach you at home. According to ancient books, don't many people study at home and then win the Juren?" Anxiu felt sorry for his hard work in the school, even He couldn't even eat well, and he was so thin that he looked like a skeleton.
He Shusheng hesitated for a while, and then said after a while: "This is something for later, let's calculate it later."
Anxiu touched his arm, still very thin, and said distressedly: "This time when I go back, I will raise you as a pig, and you must gain weight in two months."
He Shusheng pouted, dissatisfied with her metaphor.
"Have you visited Rice Shop?" The two of them seemed to have nothing to say in the room, so Anxiu started to find a topic to talk about.
"No." He Shusheng said, "I don't know what to say. If I go, it will delay their business and I'm too lazy to go. Besides, you don't really want to sell rice. Otherwise, why would you hand it over to Erhu? I don't care. .You don’t care anymore, I’ll just run to see it and make the guys laugh.”
Anxiu smiled, and patted his head, thinking that this is indeed the truth, this child is young and has a sharp eye for seeing things.
When the two chatted, time passed quickly, and the smell of food came from downstairs in a short while.Walking in a hurry in the morning, Anxiu didn't even bother to eat, but now she suddenly smelled the aroma, her stomach was empty, and her mouth was full of sour water.
"Shu Sheng, let's go downstairs to eat first." An Xiu stood up and said.
He Shusheng looked at the scene outside and said, "Do you want to swim out later?"
"No need, didn't he go to see the list? Before your grades come down, he will definitely not come back. Who knows when he will arrive. I'm hungry, are you hungry?" An Xiu asked slowly.
He Shusheng nodded.
Anxiu smiled and dragged him downstairs.Seeing the two of them coming down, many students looked Anxiu up and down.Some people think she is beautiful and covet her; some people think she is a bit dark and has a bad temperament, so they dismiss her.
"Shu Sheng, why are they all looking at us?" An Xiu asked with a smile.
"I don't know!" He Shu snorted angrily. He naturally knew that these perverts were looking at his daughter-in-law. Just be an official's wife at home, and don't let other men see her.
The two found a seat by the window, ordered three small dishes, and waited quietly for the dishes to be served.
"My master, my master..." He suddenly heard someone shouting at the door of the inn, Anxiu thought the voice sounded familiar, stood up and saw that it was Ling Erhu, and hurriedly waved to him to let him come over.
Ling Erhu didn't come here alone, Zhou Wenxuan followed behind him, carrying several gift boxes in his hands, probably all gifts.
Anxiu greeted Zhou Wenxuan and greeted each other.
"Boss, it's a good thing you didn't leave, or you would have missed it." Ling Erhu may have been in a hurry, his brow was sweating, and he smiled, "Business has been busy these days, and I'm dizzy. It’s the announcement of the list today. No, I’m here in a hurry, I’m afraid you’ve already gone back after reading the list. How are you, did you win?”
"I don't know yet. The book boy went to see it, but he didn't come back, so he probably hasn't been released to Shusheng." Anxiu smiled, thinking that he just came over, why did he bring Zhou Wenxuan with him.
Zhou Wenxuan watched An Xiu's eyes flick to him, and said with a quick smile, "I just happened to have something to discuss with Er Hu. He talked about Miss An's husband, so I came over to check on the situation."
Anxiu just laughed.He Shusheng frowned slightly, and Zhou Wenxuan looked at him with an inquiring expression.After looking at him, he suddenly shook his head and smiled, as if he despised him.He Shusheng felt angry for a while, why did he make people so dissatisfied?
Knowing that the two of them hadn't eaten yet, Anxiu called the waiter to come over, added several dishes, and had a light meal with each other.
When the food was served, Anxiu, Ling Erhu, and Zhou Wenxuan talked about business matters, and the conversation was very pleasant. He Shusheng didn't understand these things, and couldn't get in a word. He stayed by the side like a little man, feeling very angry.
Anxiu mainly asked Ling Erhu about the situation of the rice shop recently, whether the stock was sufficient, etc. Ling Erhu hurriedly said that everything was going well, and when the supply was insufficient, he would definitely notify Anxiu.We talked about the semicolon again, and Ling Erhu said everything was fine, and we haven't encountered any problems yet.
After eating and seeing off Ling Erhu and Zhou Wenxuan, He Shusheng's expression became ugly.After returning to his room, he sat there reading a book without saying a word to An Xiu.When Anxiu was full, her head became dizzy and drowsy, so she lay down on the bed to rest, and fell asleep unconsciously.
In her sleep, she always felt something wet touching her lips.When she woke up, she found that He Shusheng was lying next to her and fell asleep, his eyes were slightly closed, and his slender eyelashes were thick and dark, very attractive, Anxiu unconsciously reached out and brushed his face.
The child raised by herself is full of a sense of accomplishment, and it is completely different from when she came two years ago, like a young man of twelve or thirteen.By the end of the Chinese New Year, he will be 13 years old, and he will be considered an adult man when he enters the age of [-].
I remember He Xiaosheng from my uncle's family, when he was 13 years old, he was already tall, strong and strong.
He Shusheng slowly opened his eyes, and saw An Xiu was leaning on the pillow and looking at him, his face turned red, and he looked guilty.
"What time is it?" He Shusheng stood up in embarrassment, and asked for something to say.
Anxiu looked outside, the sun was still strong, she probably told He Shusheng just after the time of day.
He Shusheng let out a sigh, straightened his clothes, and sat down at the table to read a book again.Unlike the depressed mood just now, he is in a good mood at the moment, with a smile unconsciously on the corner of his mouth.
"Shusheng, you've been in the county for so long, has anyone from Xia'er's family visited you?" Anxiu looked at the gift Ling Erhu bought, and remembered that they were in the county and had other relatives, that is He Xia.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, something happened to Anxiu and she was locked in the county government office. He Xia got married that day.Hearing that He Xia's mother-in-law's family was very arrogant, the girl was supposed to go out after lunch, but their family insisted on leaving after breakfast.The uncle and aunt were stubborn, so they had to change the rules.
When Sanchao returned home, only He Xia came back by herself, with two old mothers and four maids, without the company of her uncle.Although the servant team is huge, the people in Hejiazhuang are all gossiping, how can there be a son-in-law who doesn't come after three dynasties?
The old lady of He Xia's husband's family explained that the uncle's health is not good, and the old lady loves him and doesn't want him to go out.The people in the He family village knew it well, and they probably didn't want him to kowtow to the ancestors of the He family, because they felt subdued.Although people with shallow eyelids are still envious of He Xia, anyone with a discerning eye knows that life is difficult for He Xia at her husband's house!
The second aunt later learned these words from Anxiu, and sighed: "Your aunt also swollen her face to pretend to be fat, and she insisted on marrying her daughter to a landlord or a rich family. So what happened? The son-in-law didn't come after three dynasties. Don't expect that family to treat Xia'er well. What's the use of having money? If you feel uncomfortable in your heart, it will be difficult for the rest of your life!"
Anxiu nodded, saying that was exactly the reason.
Suddenly talking about that family, He Shusheng remembered that his cousin was married to a wealthy family in the county seat, and said, "There is no one from his family. Xiu, what is sister Xia'er's in-law's name?"
This also stopped Anxiu.When talking about He Xia's in-law's family in the Zhuangzi, they all said that they were a big family in the county, and no one said what their surname was. After thinking about it carefully, An Xiu said: "It's either Liu or Liu. At that time Xia'er was married, and something happened to me. Even the gift money is said to be paid by my second aunt, so I don't know anything about her husband's family."
He Shusheng groaned, and said after a while: "How can such a family look down on poor relatives like us? Of course they won't come and see."
An Xiu thought about it, and it was the same reason.Since He Xia got married, it is rare for her to return to her natal home.Unlike the other daughters in Zhuangzi, before they had children and took charge of the family, they spent most of their lives in their natal family, and only returned to their in-laws' house for a few days when they were happy.
Talking about this topic will lead to a long way. When Anxiu talked about the big family, he thought of the Huo family. He told He Shusheng that He Yu'er often went to the Huo family recently, and said with a smile: "The day before yesterday, Mrs. Huo sent someone to pick him up again." I asked Yuer to go. She wanted to go, but I couldn't stop her, so I let her go. I see, in the future, Yuer will not marry worse than Xiaer. Maybe that relative of the Huo family has taken a fancy to her. Then marry and go back to be the young mistress."
He Shusheng didn't speak, and only sighed after a while: "If I can get an official position in the future, your business is booming, and Yu'er can be regarded as having status. If I marry into a rich family, I'm afraid she will be more comfortable than sister Xia'er. I also hope that Yu'er will have a good home. Everyone says that the farm is good, but they don't know that poor and lowly couples suffer all kinds of things. If there is a chance, I should marry into a rich family, at least I don't have to worry about food and drink."
Anxiu always feels that what kind of life everyone lives is predestined by God long ago.No matter how many roads you walk and work hard, you will eventually return to the position that God has set for you.Many people have worked hard all their lives, but in the end they often end up with a trivial matter that ruins half their life's calculations. This is fate.
What is He Yuer's fate? Anxiu can't tell clearly, saying that everything depends on fate and depends on her fate.
It was getting dark, Nangong just came back, when he opened the door and saw Anxiu was there, he was stunned for a moment.
An Xiu hurriedly stopped him and asked He Shusheng's ranking.Coming back so late, either she didn't pass the exam, or she was in the top few, Anxiu was a little excited.
Nangong said lightly: "No.1!"
Anxiu was stunned, and after a while she clapped her hands and laughed, and threw her arms around He Shusheng's neck: "Shusheng, you are so tough. My sister has been studying for more than ten years, and she has never passed the No. 1 exam!"
He Shusheng was so breathless by Anxiu's hug, and he didn't pursue her nonsense. He blushed and had a thick neck, and couldn't help complaining: "It's just a scholar, not the champion! Xiu, you...you're going to suffocate me..."
Anxiu sneered, and let him go quickly, but couldn't help dancing and dancing happily.After a while, the person who announced the good news from the county government came, and the shopkeeper of the inn was also very happy. He greeted the person who announced the good news and set off a big firecracker.
"Shu Sheng, let's go back overnight to make Dad happy. If we don't go back at night, he will definitely wait for us all night." Anxiu was happy, but she didn't forget her father-in-law.
He Shusheng thought about it, it was exactly this reason.Asking Nangong to pack up his things, the three of them rushed home overnight.
By the time they returned to Hejiazhuang, it was already midnight.Just as Anxiu expected, He Youbao didn't go to sleep, he took out the wicker chair and sat in the yard to smoke, he just couldn't let it go.I don't know why they didn't come back so late.
Hearing the sound of knocking on the door, He You Baole was broken, so he hurriedly opened the door for them.
Anxiu told He Youbao about He Shusheng being admitted as a scholar, and he was happier than Anxiu, and his voice choked up with a smile: "There is green smoke from the grave of our family's ancestors, and that's why Shusheng was selected as a scholar." , Wiped his tears, ran back to the house and found a big firecracker.
He Shusheng hurriedly stopped him: "Father, in the middle of the night, the neighbors were woken up by setting off cannons, that's not good!"
Anxiu smiled and said, "Shu Sheng, it's nothing! Our Zhuangzi has not produced a scholar for more than ten years. It's a big happy event. What's the point of setting off a cannon? Father, let you go. I will invite the whole Zhuangzi to a big banquet tomorrow. It’s to make amends for you!”
Seeing that Anxiu and He Youbao were very excited, He Shusheng didn't want to disturb their excitement, so he stopped talking immediately and helped He Youbao set up firecrackers.
This kind of big firecrackers is a full 30 meters long. After a while, the neighbors were woken up, and they all stretched out their heads to see who set off the firecrackers.
The next day, the whole Hejiazhuang knew that He Shusheng had been selected as a scholar, and everyone was envious, saying that their family had recently become popular.First, the daughter-in-law Anxiu was no longer stupid, and then she built the best house in the whole village. Later, Anxiu met a nobleman and borrowed money to buy a field to recruit long-term workers; now, He Shusheng has won the prize of a scholar.
"All these good things are gathered together!" Everyone in Hejiazhuang sighed.
A feng shui master said that when Anxiu built a house, he buried a huge stone under the pile.That boulder can absorb the aura of heaven and earth, so naturally the house is safe, good luck can't stop it!
After hearing this, many people asked this Feng Shui master to have a look, and re-bury boulders in their own foundations or yards to absorb the aura of heaven and earth.With this, Mr. Feng Shui made a lot of money in Hejiazhuang, and expanded his business to several neighboring villages.
This is something.
Anxiu's family set off cannons at night, and Erbo's family heard it too.At that time, the second aunt guessed that it was He Shusheng who came back after being a scholar, otherwise, who would have set off the cannons in the middle of the night?I have never heard of anyone having such a big happy event recently.At that time, the second uncle was in a deep sleep and didn't want to get up.Second Aunt dared not come out to watch alone.
So at dawn, Mrs. Li came over and asked about the situation.Anxiu said that He Shusheng passed the No. 1 scholar exam.Mrs. Li was even happier than her son Zhong Xiucai, she couldn't close her mouth with a smile, and after a while she lifted up her apron to wipe away her tears: "Xiu, his fourth uncle, you guys have made it through. The hard work in the early years finally paid off today, Hey…"
After that, the voice choked up again.
Seeing Second Aunt weeping with joy, the corners of Anxiu's eyes were slightly wet, and she hurriedly comforted her: "Second Aunt, life will get better and better in the future, so let's not talk about these old things. I'm going to have a big banquet today, come and help me I."
"It's done. I'll go to the greenhouse later, and I'll ask Jiayan and Juanzi to come back to help." Li said happily, "What's missing, tell Second Aunt. Second Aunt will help you!"
Anxiu hurriedly laughed and said, "Second Aunt, don't call me sister-in-law and Juanzi, you can't leave people in the conservatory. Call auntie, brother-in-law Zao, brother-in-law Mu, aunt Xu, sister-in-law Xu, the six of us can work together."
"Forget about Mu's daughter-in-law. I'm afraid she won't want to come." After hearing Anxiu's words, Mrs. Li sighed, "She kept in mind the matter of the ducklings last time, and she was very dissatisfied with us. I'm afraid she Embarrassing you in public, on such a happy day, don't ask her to come over and make trouble."
An Xiu thought for a moment, that's the reason. Ever since the duck seedling incident last time, Li Lamei had a complete falling out with the Er Bo's family and An Xiu's family.
She has been married for almost a year, and she is not pregnant so far, and she has fallen out with her second uncle's family, fourth uncle's family, and her in-laws' family. Now many people in the village are gossiping about her, which is extremely ugly.
Every time Li Lamei was mentioned, the second aunt said that people are doing what the sky is watching.He Zao gave birth to his daughter-in-law, Xu Shi, who has been bullied by Tang Shi ever since she passed through the family.Two big fat boys were born, the men worked hard, the harvest was good, and life didn't know how nourishing it was.
People like Li Lamei split up with her mother-in-law as soon as they passed the door. It was very beautiful at the time, but what did they get in the end?Her life is not as good as Xu's.
After what happened to Li Lamei, Tang seemed to understand some truths. He also saw Xu's kindness, and treated her a lot more politely.Mrs. Xu has always been easy-going. Although her temper has grown after giving birth to a son, her respect for her elders has not changed at all.
She felt sorry for He Zaosheng, and didn't want him to be in a dilemma between his wife and mother, and swallowed Tang's difficulties.Now Tang Corps no longer made things difficult for her, but deliberately flattered her.The Xu family naturally treated her better, and the daughter-in-law was filial and loving to her mother-in-law, and the people of Zhuangzi lamented even more.
If it weren't for Li Lamei, Tang and Xu wouldn't be able to live in peace today.However, this made Li Lamei even more unsatisfactory, and many people pointed at her behind her back.
She didn't seem to care, she still went her own way.It's just that his heart is also bitter, He Musheng seems not to be as obedient as when he was just married.After all, she hasn't had a son and a half for him for so long, which man can bear it?Love wears off, and the bond that holds the relationship between husband and wife, without the strength of children, will break sooner or later.
Li Lamei's own life was unsatisfactory and became even more mean.Li's suggestion was correct, Anxiu just asked He Youbao to inform He Musheng to have a banquet at noon, and did not ask Li Lamei to help.
Wang Jiayan went to the greenhouse early in the morning, and when He Juan delivered breakfast, she told about He Shusheng's admission to the scholar, she was also very happy, and asked He Juan to go back to help Anxiu with cooking today, and she took care of the greenhouse by herself.He Juan was also worried that Anxiu would be too busy here, so she didn't refuse, and told Wang Jiayan to stop turning eggs today, and to do it together when she came back tomorrow.
Wang Jiayan said yes and pushed her back.
He Juan came back and told Wang Jiayan what she meant, and Anxiu was very grateful.
The men in the family are busier than the women.He Youwang and He Youfu were in charge of entertaining guests, no matter if they were distant relatives or close relatives, as long as they could come before noon, they all sent invitation cards; He Husheng all went to move the bench.
Stealing the duck originally made the third family, Anxiu and the second uncle's family somewhat unhappy, but He Shusheng was selected as a scholar, and the family huddled together and worked hard to organize the wedding banquet.
The long-term workers at home also take a day off to help with errands.Li Huzi went to Youji early in the morning to pick up He Yuer, and arrived home in the middle of the morning.Knowing that He Shusheng had passed the examination, Mrs. Huo was also happy, and gave a lot of things, and Huo San personally escorted him.
When there were many visitors, the kitchen was handed over to the aunts and sisters-in-law, and Anxiu was in charge of welcoming the guests and saying some kind words.If someone gave a gift, she would not accept it.Today is why the tree is born to celebrate, no gift money will be accepted.Hearing this news, every household in Zhuangzi dragged their families to eat together.
The kitchen was not enough, so we borrowed the kitchens of long-term workers.Ask the long-term worker Zhang Laosan to go to the market to buy two pieces of pork and come back. He is very generous in eating.
When He Shusheng's mother-in-law and aunts came, they went directly to help in the kitchen. In the whole family, only Li Lamei was dressed clean and wandered around with both hands.A daughter-in-law made fun of her: "Musheng daughter-in-law, all the sisters-in-law are going to help in the kitchen, why don't you go?"
Li Lamei could hear the irony of these words, but she didn't care, and smiled slowly: "How can someone like me enter the kitchen of Shusheng's wife's house? You have to be able to flatter, speak well, and please people. I'm too honest to do it."
Everyone laughed in agreement.
An Xiu just heard this, just shook her head and smiled, and didn't answer her words.It's rare to be happy today, He Shusheng is proud for the first time, she doesn't want to be ruined by someone like Li Lamei.
The whole family was very lively, and Mrs. Li was the happiest. She was even happier than her own son being selected as a scholar. He kept laughing and his voice was much louder.
"Second Aunt, your jaw almost dropped from laughing, isn't it sour?" Seeing Li's like this, Mrs. Xu couldn't help teasing her.
He Juan pursed her lips and said with a smile: "My mother has been laughing since morning until now, she is even happier than when my brother married his wife."
"Of course I'm happy!" Mrs. Li shook her head and laughed, "Shu Sheng is the first person in our Zhuangzi who has been successful in studying in more than ten years. Every year, so many young men in Zhuangzi go to school, and in the end they only know a few words. Go to the town to work. Shusheng is different. He passed the examination of scholar, and in the future, if he wins the examination, he might actually be able to come back with a champion. The whole family will have a bright face! Besides Shusheng, who else can we count on? Glorious lintel?"
Everyone laughed.
He Shusheng's mother-in-law and aunt were also helping in the kitchen. Hearing what Li said, he was also happy. His nephew was selected as a scholar, and when he told people in his village, his face was very bright.
"Shusheng's mother-in-law, are you happy?" Mrs. Xu saw that He Shusheng's mother-in-law and aunt were not talking much, afraid of neglecting them, so she hurriedly greeted them and started a conversation.
"Happy! How can you not be happy?" He Shusheng's mother-in-law laughed, "Just now someone came to say that Shusheng has won a scholar, and his father-in-law and I were so happy."
Mrs. Li and others said that when He Shu is successful in the future, he must be filial to his mother-in-law and father-in-law.
He Juan said to Xu: "Sister-in-law, don't let big cats and small cats go to waste in the future. They will be put in schools since they were young. Our Shusheng was selected as a scholar when he was 12 years old. Big cats and small cats will also be able to be selected. In the future If you become an official all of a sudden, we will also enjoy the blessings."
Hearing this, Tang, who had been busy chopping meat, also put down the knife in his hand, and smiled at Xu: "That's right, I think big cats and kittens are as smart as Shu Sheng when he was a child. Teach it well, you will have great prospects in the future, and you will have a daughter-in-law early, you have this blessing in your life, what mother said is right!"
He Juan pursed her lips and smiled. She still remembered that when Wang Jiayan came to see her relatives, Tang kept saying that it was impossible for Xu to have a son. In the blink of an eye, they gave birth to two.
Regardless of whether Tang's prediction was correct or not, Xu was still very happy to hear her say this, and hurriedly said: "In the future, big cats and kittens will have a bright future, so naturally we must first be filial to our grandparents. Mom, it's a good fortune in your life. I can have these two boys."
Hearing the conversation between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Li abducted Mrs. Tang and said with a smile, "His aunt gave birth to a daughter-in-law early. Why do you let your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talk back and forth? Only the whole family is blessed, so they can have a good life. According to In my opinion, the life of a daughter-in-law born early is good, and the life of his aunt is even better."
Everyone laughed, it was rare for Tang and Xu to be so harmonious.Mrs. Li lowered her head and smiled, thinking that Mrs. Xu had finally made it through. If Li Lamei hadn't cured Mrs. Tang's temperament, where would it be her turn to enjoy the blessings?In this way, Li Lamei has contributed a lot to improving the relationship between Tang and Xu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
It's just that Li Lamei's weird temper, when can he restrain himself a little.
After the banquet, the whole Zhuangzi ate and drank to their heart's content, they all praised He Shusheng for his ability, and praised Anxiu and He You for their good fortune.
After dinner, Huo Sanfei wanted to give Anxiu a gift bag.Anxiu said no as usual, and agreed not to accept any gifts.Huo San smiled and said: "This is not considered as gift money for today's wine, the old lady told me to give it to you personally. The old lady is happy that Shusheng can be successful, and said that someday she will be free, and ask Shusheng to come to the house to play. You go too."
Anxiu didn't shirk any more, and took over.The old lady likes He Yu'er, loves Wu and Wu, so naturally she also likes Anxiu and others.
"Miss An, Yu'er will go back with me. The old lady can't leave her for a day now. Yu'er is eloquent and good at trying to understand the old lady's mind. Last spring, she accidentally broke the old lady's favorite vase and was almost kicked out. After going out, Yu'er coaxed a few words casually, and the old lady laughed. Ms. An, the old lady has not been around for a few years, please ask Yu'er to spend more time with her." Huo San's voice was a little firm, as if he was not pleading, but is threatening.
He Yu'er held An Xiu's hand, looked at her with big round eyes, pursed her lips and said nothing.
Anxiu felt reluctant, but respected He Yuer's intention, and asked in a low voice: "Yuer, do you want to stay at home with your brother and father for a few days? Haven't you seen your brother for a long time?"
He Yu'er pulled Anxiu's arm, made her squat down, and said with a smile, "Sister Xiu, I want to hug you."
Anxiu smiled and squatted in front of her.He Yu'er hugged her neck tightly, and said in a low voice: "Sister Xiu, we are old and healthy, you let me go to Huo's house, there will be something delicious for us." Then she said loudly, "Sister Xiu, Yu'er Go to accompany the old lady first, and then go home to accompany my father and elder brother in a few days, okay?"
Anxiu was stunned, not knowing what to say, and said after a long while: "If you want to leave, hurry up, as soon as father is free, he will not let Yu'er go, it is very sad. Third son, I will go to pick up Yu'er in a few days Come back and stay for a few days, please tell the old lady for me first."
"This is natural!" Huo San smiled, "Miss An is considerate of us, I will keep it in mind, if Miss An can use our house in the future, just ask. Then Yu'er, I will bought?"
Anxiu nodded.
Huo San pulled He Yu'er and left before the crowd dispersed.The family was in a hurry, and there were guests to be seen off, so Anxiu didn't have too much nostalgia.
He Yu'er's tone and actions were clearly not what a child should have. Thinking of these, An Xiu was a little lost.She herself has traveled through time, and she would not be surprised if He Yuer also crossed over to the party.Moreover, judging from He Yuer's deliberate efforts to please Mrs. Huo and Huo San, if she is not reborn, she will undoubtedly travel through time.
He Jiangsheng's duck shed still needs to be looked after. Although Anxiu's dog is guarding him, he is still worried, put down the bowls and chopsticks, and said to go back first.
Anxiu hurriedly stopped him, told the kitchen to prepare two dishes and one dish, put them in a basket for He Jiangsheng, and said with a smile: "Brother Jiang, I'm too busy here. Before you go back to the duck shed, go to the greenhouse first." , Send the food to my sister-in-law."
He Jiangsheng didn't shirk, the whole family was crazy busy today, no one brought food to Wang Jiayan.All he had in mind was the duck shed, and he ignored it for a while, but Anxiu thought about it carefully, and He Jiangsheng said good, then turned and left.
After Li Lamei finished eating, she didn't care about cleaning up the tables and chopsticks in An Xiuman's yard, and pulled He Musheng to go back.If it was the early stage of marriage, He Musheng must have gone back with him.But it's different now, Li Lamei has never had children, which made He Musheng criticize her quite a bit. Li Lamei's past minor problems were also magnified in his eyes, especially today, she didn't do anything, and she went around gossiping, which made He Musheng Very shameless.
So when Li Lamei pulled him back, he shook off her hand and said, "Go back! These benches and tables are all borrowed, and I will help Fourth Uncle send them back later."
(End of this chapter)
Section 120 He Shusheng was admitted as a scholar
He Yu'er thought for a while, then said with a smile, "The third young master told me."
Anxiu was very dissatisfied with her answer, but she couldn't find any flaws.He Yu'er wanted to tell An Xiu everything, but it was only a moment of courage.After thinking about it for a while, she didn't want to say anything and closed her mouth tightly.
In the following days, He Yu'er stayed at home less and less, and went to Huo's house more and more.Anxiu was very disappointed, thinking that He Yuer disliked her family, and instead fell in love with the wealthy life of the Huo family.But he couldn't bear to blame her. After all, the poor living conditions of his family were not her fault, but his own incompetence.
Everyone has their own aspirations, Anxiu can only comfort herself like this.
He Shusheng went to participate in the boy's test after Qiuhou, and Anxiu wanted to accompany him.But because she is a woman, she is not allowed to enter the sacred place like the examination room.In ancient times, women were often not allowed to appear on important days or important places, otherwise it would bring bad luck.Perhaps it was an excuse for his failure, and more of a discrimination against women from the bottom of his heart.
But how can humans reproduce without women?I don't understand why the ancient Chinese still turn a blind eye to such a sacred duty given to women by God.
Anxiu couldn't accompany He Shusheng, and He Youbao was too old to help, so Li Huzi had to send a long-term worker to follow him.Li Huzi thought for a while, and told Anxiu that it was most suitable for Nangong to swim.He is young, and looks refined, he can pretend to be a little book boy.
"Are you sure, he won't be treated as a woman?" Anxiu looked at Nangong You and said.He is indeed gentle, but steals the spotlight, with him, He Shusheng is more like a book boy.
Li Huzi and Nangong Youchu both twitched their mouths and did not refute.
In desperation, Nangong swims out and follows.
After taking the boy's test, He Shusheng stayed in the county seat, waiting for the results to be announced in ten days.
On the day when the results were due to come out, Anxiu was also very anxious, so she ran to the county seat early in the morning to secretly inquire about the situation.When I ran to the county school, it was already crowded with people. Anxiu didn't see He Shusheng, so she asked the person next to her about when the grades would come out, and the person told Anxiu: It was noon.
Now there is still about an hour before noon, Anxiu had no choice but to know the inn where He Shusheng lived and its room number, and wanted to see if he was in the room.
The young man took her upstairs and said that Mr. He hadn't gone anywhere in the past few days except to go downstairs to eat and stay in the room to read.
Knocking on the door, He Shusheng's voice was a little impatient, but he still smiled: "I'm resting, I don't feel well, go play by yourself."
When Anxiu heard the tone, he probably was a student of the same period. He asked him to go out for fun, but he rejected him. He was very relieved in his heart and coughed: "Shu Sheng, it's me, open the door!"
"Xiu, why are you here?" Opening the door, He Shusheng said excitedly.
Anxiu smiled, and closed the door casually. Seeing that he was writing with pens and ink on the table, she tapped his forehead: "Today is out of the list, and you are still practicing calligraphy in your room. Everyone ran to read the list." Yes, you are so leisurely."
"If you pass the exam, you will pass the exam. It can't change anything if you look at it early and late. It's too crowded in the morning, and I can't stand it. Today's list will be kept until the evening. I agreed with Youchu, eat I'll go see it after dinner. But he still went first." He Shusheng said with a leisurely smile.
It turned out that the little book boy had already left, no wonder he was so leisurely and calm.However, his words, regardless of whether they were true or not, were open-minded, which made An Xiu feel relieved.Attitude to life is very important, more important than ability.Only by being open-minded can we achieve a career.
Anxiu always felt in her heart that He Shusheng would definitely have great promise in the future.
"Shu Sheng, if you pass the exam as a scholar, I will hold a big banquet, treat all of us in Zhuangzi to a meal, and don't charge a penny for gifts, so that everyone will be happy." An Xiu said boldly.
"Then prepare your money." He Shusheng said affirmatively, "I will definitely pass the exam."
The two looked at each other and laughed unconsciously.During this period of time, he seemed to have grown taller again. Anxiu stood in front of him. Before, she used to look down at him, then looked at him at the same level, but now she started to look up at him.
But still thin, so thin that people feel distressed.Anxiu couldn't help but asked with concern: "Shu Sheng, after being admitted as a scholar, do you have to wait for the provincial examination three years later?"
He Shusheng nodded.
"I heard that if you are selected as a scholar, you will go to the county school to study. Is it necessary?" An Xiu asked again.
"It's not necessary. It's just that if you are selected as a scholar and go to the county school to study, there will be some financial supplies. In addition to giving some gifts to the master during the New Year and holidays, there is nothing to spend. The county school provides everything." He Shusheng said, "Why? , you don’t want me to go to the county school?”
"I really have this idea. Anyway, I don't have to go, why don't I hire a teacher for you and teach you at home. According to ancient books, don't many people study at home and then win the Juren?" Anxiu felt sorry for his hard work in the school, even He couldn't even eat well, and he was so thin that he looked like a skeleton.
He Shusheng hesitated for a while, and then said after a while: "This is something for later, let's calculate it later."
Anxiu touched his arm, still very thin, and said distressedly: "This time when I go back, I will raise you as a pig, and you must gain weight in two months."
He Shusheng pouted, dissatisfied with her metaphor.
"Have you visited Rice Shop?" The two of them seemed to have nothing to say in the room, so Anxiu started to find a topic to talk about.
"No." He Shusheng said, "I don't know what to say. If I go, it will delay their business and I'm too lazy to go. Besides, you don't really want to sell rice. Otherwise, why would you hand it over to Erhu? I don't care. .You don’t care anymore, I’ll just run to see it and make the guys laugh.”
Anxiu smiled, and patted his head, thinking that this is indeed the truth, this child is young and has a sharp eye for seeing things.
When the two chatted, time passed quickly, and the smell of food came from downstairs in a short while.Walking in a hurry in the morning, Anxiu didn't even bother to eat, but now she suddenly smelled the aroma, her stomach was empty, and her mouth was full of sour water.
"Shu Sheng, let's go downstairs to eat first." An Xiu stood up and said.
He Shusheng looked at the scene outside and said, "Do you want to swim out later?"
"No need, didn't he go to see the list? Before your grades come down, he will definitely not come back. Who knows when he will arrive. I'm hungry, are you hungry?" An Xiu asked slowly.
He Shusheng nodded.
Anxiu smiled and dragged him downstairs.Seeing the two of them coming down, many students looked Anxiu up and down.Some people think she is beautiful and covet her; some people think she is a bit dark and has a bad temperament, so they dismiss her.
"Shu Sheng, why are they all looking at us?" An Xiu asked with a smile.
"I don't know!" He Shu snorted angrily. He naturally knew that these perverts were looking at his daughter-in-law. Just be an official's wife at home, and don't let other men see her.
The two found a seat by the window, ordered three small dishes, and waited quietly for the dishes to be served.
"My master, my master..." He suddenly heard someone shouting at the door of the inn, Anxiu thought the voice sounded familiar, stood up and saw that it was Ling Erhu, and hurriedly waved to him to let him come over.
Ling Erhu didn't come here alone, Zhou Wenxuan followed behind him, carrying several gift boxes in his hands, probably all gifts.
Anxiu greeted Zhou Wenxuan and greeted each other.
"Boss, it's a good thing you didn't leave, or you would have missed it." Ling Erhu may have been in a hurry, his brow was sweating, and he smiled, "Business has been busy these days, and I'm dizzy. It’s the announcement of the list today. No, I’m here in a hurry, I’m afraid you’ve already gone back after reading the list. How are you, did you win?”
"I don't know yet. The book boy went to see it, but he didn't come back, so he probably hasn't been released to Shusheng." Anxiu smiled, thinking that he just came over, why did he bring Zhou Wenxuan with him.
Zhou Wenxuan watched An Xiu's eyes flick to him, and said with a quick smile, "I just happened to have something to discuss with Er Hu. He talked about Miss An's husband, so I came over to check on the situation."
Anxiu just laughed.He Shusheng frowned slightly, and Zhou Wenxuan looked at him with an inquiring expression.After looking at him, he suddenly shook his head and smiled, as if he despised him.He Shusheng felt angry for a while, why did he make people so dissatisfied?
Knowing that the two of them hadn't eaten yet, Anxiu called the waiter to come over, added several dishes, and had a light meal with each other.
When the food was served, Anxiu, Ling Erhu, and Zhou Wenxuan talked about business matters, and the conversation was very pleasant. He Shusheng didn't understand these things, and couldn't get in a word. He stayed by the side like a little man, feeling very angry.
Anxiu mainly asked Ling Erhu about the situation of the rice shop recently, whether the stock was sufficient, etc. Ling Erhu hurriedly said that everything was going well, and when the supply was insufficient, he would definitely notify Anxiu.We talked about the semicolon again, and Ling Erhu said everything was fine, and we haven't encountered any problems yet.
After eating and seeing off Ling Erhu and Zhou Wenxuan, He Shusheng's expression became ugly.After returning to his room, he sat there reading a book without saying a word to An Xiu.When Anxiu was full, her head became dizzy and drowsy, so she lay down on the bed to rest, and fell asleep unconsciously.
In her sleep, she always felt something wet touching her lips.When she woke up, she found that He Shusheng was lying next to her and fell asleep, his eyes were slightly closed, and his slender eyelashes were thick and dark, very attractive, Anxiu unconsciously reached out and brushed his face.
The child raised by herself is full of a sense of accomplishment, and it is completely different from when she came two years ago, like a young man of twelve or thirteen.By the end of the Chinese New Year, he will be 13 years old, and he will be considered an adult man when he enters the age of [-].
I remember He Xiaosheng from my uncle's family, when he was 13 years old, he was already tall, strong and strong.
He Shusheng slowly opened his eyes, and saw An Xiu was leaning on the pillow and looking at him, his face turned red, and he looked guilty.
"What time is it?" He Shusheng stood up in embarrassment, and asked for something to say.
Anxiu looked outside, the sun was still strong, she probably told He Shusheng just after the time of day.
He Shusheng let out a sigh, straightened his clothes, and sat down at the table to read a book again.Unlike the depressed mood just now, he is in a good mood at the moment, with a smile unconsciously on the corner of his mouth.
"Shusheng, you've been in the county for so long, has anyone from Xia'er's family visited you?" Anxiu looked at the gift Ling Erhu bought, and remembered that they were in the county and had other relatives, that is He Xia.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, something happened to Anxiu and she was locked in the county government office. He Xia got married that day.Hearing that He Xia's mother-in-law's family was very arrogant, the girl was supposed to go out after lunch, but their family insisted on leaving after breakfast.The uncle and aunt were stubborn, so they had to change the rules.
When Sanchao returned home, only He Xia came back by herself, with two old mothers and four maids, without the company of her uncle.Although the servant team is huge, the people in Hejiazhuang are all gossiping, how can there be a son-in-law who doesn't come after three dynasties?
The old lady of He Xia's husband's family explained that the uncle's health is not good, and the old lady loves him and doesn't want him to go out.The people in the He family village knew it well, and they probably didn't want him to kowtow to the ancestors of the He family, because they felt subdued.Although people with shallow eyelids are still envious of He Xia, anyone with a discerning eye knows that life is difficult for He Xia at her husband's house!
The second aunt later learned these words from Anxiu, and sighed: "Your aunt also swollen her face to pretend to be fat, and she insisted on marrying her daughter to a landlord or a rich family. So what happened? The son-in-law didn't come after three dynasties. Don't expect that family to treat Xia'er well. What's the use of having money? If you feel uncomfortable in your heart, it will be difficult for the rest of your life!"
Anxiu nodded, saying that was exactly the reason.
Suddenly talking about that family, He Shusheng remembered that his cousin was married to a wealthy family in the county seat, and said, "There is no one from his family. Xiu, what is sister Xia'er's in-law's name?"
This also stopped Anxiu.When talking about He Xia's in-law's family in the Zhuangzi, they all said that they were a big family in the county, and no one said what their surname was. After thinking about it carefully, An Xiu said: "It's either Liu or Liu. At that time Xia'er was married, and something happened to me. Even the gift money is said to be paid by my second aunt, so I don't know anything about her husband's family."
He Shusheng groaned, and said after a while: "How can such a family look down on poor relatives like us? Of course they won't come and see."
An Xiu thought about it, and it was the same reason.Since He Xia got married, it is rare for her to return to her natal home.Unlike the other daughters in Zhuangzi, before they had children and took charge of the family, they spent most of their lives in their natal family, and only returned to their in-laws' house for a few days when they were happy.
Talking about this topic will lead to a long way. When Anxiu talked about the big family, he thought of the Huo family. He told He Shusheng that He Yu'er often went to the Huo family recently, and said with a smile: "The day before yesterday, Mrs. Huo sent someone to pick him up again." I asked Yuer to go. She wanted to go, but I couldn't stop her, so I let her go. I see, in the future, Yuer will not marry worse than Xiaer. Maybe that relative of the Huo family has taken a fancy to her. Then marry and go back to be the young mistress."
He Shusheng didn't speak, and only sighed after a while: "If I can get an official position in the future, your business is booming, and Yu'er can be regarded as having status. If I marry into a rich family, I'm afraid she will be more comfortable than sister Xia'er. I also hope that Yu'er will have a good home. Everyone says that the farm is good, but they don't know that poor and lowly couples suffer all kinds of things. If there is a chance, I should marry into a rich family, at least I don't have to worry about food and drink."
Anxiu always feels that what kind of life everyone lives is predestined by God long ago.No matter how many roads you walk and work hard, you will eventually return to the position that God has set for you.Many people have worked hard all their lives, but in the end they often end up with a trivial matter that ruins half their life's calculations. This is fate.
What is He Yuer's fate? Anxiu can't tell clearly, saying that everything depends on fate and depends on her fate.
It was getting dark, Nangong just came back, when he opened the door and saw Anxiu was there, he was stunned for a moment.
An Xiu hurriedly stopped him and asked He Shusheng's ranking.Coming back so late, either she didn't pass the exam, or she was in the top few, Anxiu was a little excited.
Nangong said lightly: "No.1!"
Anxiu was stunned, and after a while she clapped her hands and laughed, and threw her arms around He Shusheng's neck: "Shusheng, you are so tough. My sister has been studying for more than ten years, and she has never passed the No. 1 exam!"
He Shusheng was so breathless by Anxiu's hug, and he didn't pursue her nonsense. He blushed and had a thick neck, and couldn't help complaining: "It's just a scholar, not the champion! Xiu, you...you're going to suffocate me..."
Anxiu sneered, and let him go quickly, but couldn't help dancing and dancing happily.After a while, the person who announced the good news from the county government came, and the shopkeeper of the inn was also very happy. He greeted the person who announced the good news and set off a big firecracker.
"Shu Sheng, let's go back overnight to make Dad happy. If we don't go back at night, he will definitely wait for us all night." Anxiu was happy, but she didn't forget her father-in-law.
He Shusheng thought about it, it was exactly this reason.Asking Nangong to pack up his things, the three of them rushed home overnight.
By the time they returned to Hejiazhuang, it was already midnight.Just as Anxiu expected, He Youbao didn't go to sleep, he took out the wicker chair and sat in the yard to smoke, he just couldn't let it go.I don't know why they didn't come back so late.
Hearing the sound of knocking on the door, He You Baole was broken, so he hurriedly opened the door for them.
Anxiu told He Youbao about He Shusheng being admitted as a scholar, and he was happier than Anxiu, and his voice choked up with a smile: "There is green smoke from the grave of our family's ancestors, and that's why Shusheng was selected as a scholar." , Wiped his tears, ran back to the house and found a big firecracker.
He Shusheng hurriedly stopped him: "Father, in the middle of the night, the neighbors were woken up by setting off cannons, that's not good!"
Anxiu smiled and said, "Shu Sheng, it's nothing! Our Zhuangzi has not produced a scholar for more than ten years. It's a big happy event. What's the point of setting off a cannon? Father, let you go. I will invite the whole Zhuangzi to a big banquet tomorrow. It’s to make amends for you!”
Seeing that Anxiu and He Youbao were very excited, He Shusheng didn't want to disturb their excitement, so he stopped talking immediately and helped He Youbao set up firecrackers.
This kind of big firecrackers is a full 30 meters long. After a while, the neighbors were woken up, and they all stretched out their heads to see who set off the firecrackers.
The next day, the whole Hejiazhuang knew that He Shusheng had been selected as a scholar, and everyone was envious, saying that their family had recently become popular.First, the daughter-in-law Anxiu was no longer stupid, and then she built the best house in the whole village. Later, Anxiu met a nobleman and borrowed money to buy a field to recruit long-term workers; now, He Shusheng has won the prize of a scholar.
"All these good things are gathered together!" Everyone in Hejiazhuang sighed.
A feng shui master said that when Anxiu built a house, he buried a huge stone under the pile.That boulder can absorb the aura of heaven and earth, so naturally the house is safe, good luck can't stop it!
After hearing this, many people asked this Feng Shui master to have a look, and re-bury boulders in their own foundations or yards to absorb the aura of heaven and earth.With this, Mr. Feng Shui made a lot of money in Hejiazhuang, and expanded his business to several neighboring villages.
This is something.
Anxiu's family set off cannons at night, and Erbo's family heard it too.At that time, the second aunt guessed that it was He Shusheng who came back after being a scholar, otherwise, who would have set off the cannons in the middle of the night?I have never heard of anyone having such a big happy event recently.At that time, the second uncle was in a deep sleep and didn't want to get up.Second Aunt dared not come out to watch alone.
So at dawn, Mrs. Li came over and asked about the situation.Anxiu said that He Shusheng passed the No. 1 scholar exam.Mrs. Li was even happier than her son Zhong Xiucai, she couldn't close her mouth with a smile, and after a while she lifted up her apron to wipe away her tears: "Xiu, his fourth uncle, you guys have made it through. The hard work in the early years finally paid off today, Hey…"
After that, the voice choked up again.
Seeing Second Aunt weeping with joy, the corners of Anxiu's eyes were slightly wet, and she hurriedly comforted her: "Second Aunt, life will get better and better in the future, so let's not talk about these old things. I'm going to have a big banquet today, come and help me I."
"It's done. I'll go to the greenhouse later, and I'll ask Jiayan and Juanzi to come back to help." Li said happily, "What's missing, tell Second Aunt. Second Aunt will help you!"
Anxiu hurriedly laughed and said, "Second Aunt, don't call me sister-in-law and Juanzi, you can't leave people in the conservatory. Call auntie, brother-in-law Zao, brother-in-law Mu, aunt Xu, sister-in-law Xu, the six of us can work together."
"Forget about Mu's daughter-in-law. I'm afraid she won't want to come." After hearing Anxiu's words, Mrs. Li sighed, "She kept in mind the matter of the ducklings last time, and she was very dissatisfied with us. I'm afraid she Embarrassing you in public, on such a happy day, don't ask her to come over and make trouble."
An Xiu thought for a moment, that's the reason. Ever since the duck seedling incident last time, Li Lamei had a complete falling out with the Er Bo's family and An Xiu's family.
She has been married for almost a year, and she is not pregnant so far, and she has fallen out with her second uncle's family, fourth uncle's family, and her in-laws' family. Now many people in the village are gossiping about her, which is extremely ugly.
Every time Li Lamei was mentioned, the second aunt said that people are doing what the sky is watching.He Zao gave birth to his daughter-in-law, Xu Shi, who has been bullied by Tang Shi ever since she passed through the family.Two big fat boys were born, the men worked hard, the harvest was good, and life didn't know how nourishing it was.
People like Li Lamei split up with her mother-in-law as soon as they passed the door. It was very beautiful at the time, but what did they get in the end?Her life is not as good as Xu's.
After what happened to Li Lamei, Tang seemed to understand some truths. He also saw Xu's kindness, and treated her a lot more politely.Mrs. Xu has always been easy-going. Although her temper has grown after giving birth to a son, her respect for her elders has not changed at all.
She felt sorry for He Zaosheng, and didn't want him to be in a dilemma between his wife and mother, and swallowed Tang's difficulties.Now Tang Corps no longer made things difficult for her, but deliberately flattered her.The Xu family naturally treated her better, and the daughter-in-law was filial and loving to her mother-in-law, and the people of Zhuangzi lamented even more.
If it weren't for Li Lamei, Tang and Xu wouldn't be able to live in peace today.However, this made Li Lamei even more unsatisfactory, and many people pointed at her behind her back.
She didn't seem to care, she still went her own way.It's just that his heart is also bitter, He Musheng seems not to be as obedient as when he was just married.After all, she hasn't had a son and a half for him for so long, which man can bear it?Love wears off, and the bond that holds the relationship between husband and wife, without the strength of children, will break sooner or later.
Li Lamei's own life was unsatisfactory and became even more mean.Li's suggestion was correct, Anxiu just asked He Youbao to inform He Musheng to have a banquet at noon, and did not ask Li Lamei to help.
Wang Jiayan went to the greenhouse early in the morning, and when He Juan delivered breakfast, she told about He Shusheng's admission to the scholar, she was also very happy, and asked He Juan to go back to help Anxiu with cooking today, and she took care of the greenhouse by herself.He Juan was also worried that Anxiu would be too busy here, so she didn't refuse, and told Wang Jiayan to stop turning eggs today, and to do it together when she came back tomorrow.
Wang Jiayan said yes and pushed her back.
He Juan came back and told Wang Jiayan what she meant, and Anxiu was very grateful.
The men in the family are busier than the women.He Youwang and He Youfu were in charge of entertaining guests, no matter if they were distant relatives or close relatives, as long as they could come before noon, they all sent invitation cards; He Husheng all went to move the bench.
Stealing the duck originally made the third family, Anxiu and the second uncle's family somewhat unhappy, but He Shusheng was selected as a scholar, and the family huddled together and worked hard to organize the wedding banquet.
The long-term workers at home also take a day off to help with errands.Li Huzi went to Youji early in the morning to pick up He Yuer, and arrived home in the middle of the morning.Knowing that He Shusheng had passed the examination, Mrs. Huo was also happy, and gave a lot of things, and Huo San personally escorted him.
When there were many visitors, the kitchen was handed over to the aunts and sisters-in-law, and Anxiu was in charge of welcoming the guests and saying some kind words.If someone gave a gift, she would not accept it.Today is why the tree is born to celebrate, no gift money will be accepted.Hearing this news, every household in Zhuangzi dragged their families to eat together.
The kitchen was not enough, so we borrowed the kitchens of long-term workers.Ask the long-term worker Zhang Laosan to go to the market to buy two pieces of pork and come back. He is very generous in eating.
When He Shusheng's mother-in-law and aunts came, they went directly to help in the kitchen. In the whole family, only Li Lamei was dressed clean and wandered around with both hands.A daughter-in-law made fun of her: "Musheng daughter-in-law, all the sisters-in-law are going to help in the kitchen, why don't you go?"
Li Lamei could hear the irony of these words, but she didn't care, and smiled slowly: "How can someone like me enter the kitchen of Shusheng's wife's house? You have to be able to flatter, speak well, and please people. I'm too honest to do it."
Everyone laughed in agreement.
An Xiu just heard this, just shook her head and smiled, and didn't answer her words.It's rare to be happy today, He Shusheng is proud for the first time, she doesn't want to be ruined by someone like Li Lamei.
The whole family was very lively, and Mrs. Li was the happiest. She was even happier than her own son being selected as a scholar. He kept laughing and his voice was much louder.
"Second Aunt, your jaw almost dropped from laughing, isn't it sour?" Seeing Li's like this, Mrs. Xu couldn't help teasing her.
He Juan pursed her lips and said with a smile: "My mother has been laughing since morning until now, she is even happier than when my brother married his wife."
"Of course I'm happy!" Mrs. Li shook her head and laughed, "Shu Sheng is the first person in our Zhuangzi who has been successful in studying in more than ten years. Every year, so many young men in Zhuangzi go to school, and in the end they only know a few words. Go to the town to work. Shusheng is different. He passed the examination of scholar, and in the future, if he wins the examination, he might actually be able to come back with a champion. The whole family will have a bright face! Besides Shusheng, who else can we count on? Glorious lintel?"
Everyone laughed.
He Shusheng's mother-in-law and aunt were also helping in the kitchen. Hearing what Li said, he was also happy. His nephew was selected as a scholar, and when he told people in his village, his face was very bright.
"Shusheng's mother-in-law, are you happy?" Mrs. Xu saw that He Shusheng's mother-in-law and aunt were not talking much, afraid of neglecting them, so she hurriedly greeted them and started a conversation.
"Happy! How can you not be happy?" He Shusheng's mother-in-law laughed, "Just now someone came to say that Shusheng has won a scholar, and his father-in-law and I were so happy."
Mrs. Li and others said that when He Shu is successful in the future, he must be filial to his mother-in-law and father-in-law.
He Juan said to Xu: "Sister-in-law, don't let big cats and small cats go to waste in the future. They will be put in schools since they were young. Our Shusheng was selected as a scholar when he was 12 years old. Big cats and small cats will also be able to be selected. In the future If you become an official all of a sudden, we will also enjoy the blessings."
Hearing this, Tang, who had been busy chopping meat, also put down the knife in his hand, and smiled at Xu: "That's right, I think big cats and kittens are as smart as Shu Sheng when he was a child. Teach it well, you will have great prospects in the future, and you will have a daughter-in-law early, you have this blessing in your life, what mother said is right!"
He Juan pursed her lips and smiled. She still remembered that when Wang Jiayan came to see her relatives, Tang kept saying that it was impossible for Xu to have a son. In the blink of an eye, they gave birth to two.
Regardless of whether Tang's prediction was correct or not, Xu was still very happy to hear her say this, and hurriedly said: "In the future, big cats and kittens will have a bright future, so naturally we must first be filial to our grandparents. Mom, it's a good fortune in your life. I can have these two boys."
Hearing the conversation between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Li abducted Mrs. Tang and said with a smile, "His aunt gave birth to a daughter-in-law early. Why do you let your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talk back and forth? Only the whole family is blessed, so they can have a good life. According to In my opinion, the life of a daughter-in-law born early is good, and the life of his aunt is even better."
Everyone laughed, it was rare for Tang and Xu to be so harmonious.Mrs. Li lowered her head and smiled, thinking that Mrs. Xu had finally made it through. If Li Lamei hadn't cured Mrs. Tang's temperament, where would it be her turn to enjoy the blessings?In this way, Li Lamei has contributed a lot to improving the relationship between Tang and Xu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
It's just that Li Lamei's weird temper, when can he restrain himself a little.
After the banquet, the whole Zhuangzi ate and drank to their heart's content, they all praised He Shusheng for his ability, and praised Anxiu and He You for their good fortune.
After dinner, Huo Sanfei wanted to give Anxiu a gift bag.Anxiu said no as usual, and agreed not to accept any gifts.Huo San smiled and said: "This is not considered as gift money for today's wine, the old lady told me to give it to you personally. The old lady is happy that Shusheng can be successful, and said that someday she will be free, and ask Shusheng to come to the house to play. You go too."
Anxiu didn't shirk any more, and took over.The old lady likes He Yu'er, loves Wu and Wu, so naturally she also likes Anxiu and others.
"Miss An, Yu'er will go back with me. The old lady can't leave her for a day now. Yu'er is eloquent and good at trying to understand the old lady's mind. Last spring, she accidentally broke the old lady's favorite vase and was almost kicked out. After going out, Yu'er coaxed a few words casually, and the old lady laughed. Ms. An, the old lady has not been around for a few years, please ask Yu'er to spend more time with her." Huo San's voice was a little firm, as if he was not pleading, but is threatening.
He Yu'er held An Xiu's hand, looked at her with big round eyes, pursed her lips and said nothing.
Anxiu felt reluctant, but respected He Yuer's intention, and asked in a low voice: "Yuer, do you want to stay at home with your brother and father for a few days? Haven't you seen your brother for a long time?"
He Yu'er pulled Anxiu's arm, made her squat down, and said with a smile, "Sister Xiu, I want to hug you."
Anxiu smiled and squatted in front of her.He Yu'er hugged her neck tightly, and said in a low voice: "Sister Xiu, we are old and healthy, you let me go to Huo's house, there will be something delicious for us." Then she said loudly, "Sister Xiu, Yu'er Go to accompany the old lady first, and then go home to accompany my father and elder brother in a few days, okay?"
Anxiu was stunned, not knowing what to say, and said after a long while: "If you want to leave, hurry up, as soon as father is free, he will not let Yu'er go, it is very sad. Third son, I will go to pick up Yu'er in a few days Come back and stay for a few days, please tell the old lady for me first."
"This is natural!" Huo San smiled, "Miss An is considerate of us, I will keep it in mind, if Miss An can use our house in the future, just ask. Then Yu'er, I will bought?"
Anxiu nodded.
Huo San pulled He Yu'er and left before the crowd dispersed.The family was in a hurry, and there were guests to be seen off, so Anxiu didn't have too much nostalgia.
He Yu'er's tone and actions were clearly not what a child should have. Thinking of these, An Xiu was a little lost.She herself has traveled through time, and she would not be surprised if He Yuer also crossed over to the party.Moreover, judging from He Yuer's deliberate efforts to please Mrs. Huo and Huo San, if she is not reborn, she will undoubtedly travel through time.
He Jiangsheng's duck shed still needs to be looked after. Although Anxiu's dog is guarding him, he is still worried, put down the bowls and chopsticks, and said to go back first.
Anxiu hurriedly stopped him, told the kitchen to prepare two dishes and one dish, put them in a basket for He Jiangsheng, and said with a smile: "Brother Jiang, I'm too busy here. Before you go back to the duck shed, go to the greenhouse first." , Send the food to my sister-in-law."
He Jiangsheng didn't shirk, the whole family was crazy busy today, no one brought food to Wang Jiayan.All he had in mind was the duck shed, and he ignored it for a while, but Anxiu thought about it carefully, and He Jiangsheng said good, then turned and left.
After Li Lamei finished eating, she didn't care about cleaning up the tables and chopsticks in An Xiuman's yard, and pulled He Musheng to go back.If it was the early stage of marriage, He Musheng must have gone back with him.But it's different now, Li Lamei has never had children, which made He Musheng criticize her quite a bit. Li Lamei's past minor problems were also magnified in his eyes, especially today, she didn't do anything, and she went around gossiping, which made He Musheng Very shameless.
So when Li Lamei pulled him back, he shook off her hand and said, "Go back! These benches and tables are all borrowed, and I will help Fourth Uncle send them back later."
