At Mrs. Wei's age, it's not usually a birthday, but the filial piety of the children and a lively meal with the family are still important.

In previous years, when Mrs. Wei celebrated her birthday, she would go to the field when she should go to the fields, and feed the pigs when she should feed the pigs, without delay in any work.

But this year is different, the Wei family separated and moved to a spacious and bright house in the town. The old lady Wei does not manage the land of the family, the work is light, and there is a lot of leisure time, and the temper gradually grows.

As soon as Weige and his family arrived, the old lady kept talking.

She sat cross-legged on the top of the kang, eating melon seeds, and scolded: "Go to the provincial capital? Wei Lan is a business, what is she going to do? If she has money, there is nowhere to spend it! The provincial capital is full of nobles, in case someone offends , our entire old Wei family will be bloody unlucky!"

"Go with her uncle. Are you two fools? Her uncle is selfish. If something happens, he can run faster than anyone else."

"You, you, why did I give birth to such a stupid thing as you? Your father would not let you study. If you let your second brother study, he would have passed the exam."

……

Weige's face was ugly, but he didn't say anything.

The old lady loved him very much at the beginning, but since she failed the third time, her attitude has changed. She has always disliked him eating rice at home, calling him a waste at every turn, and should let his second brother go to school, etc., but everyone in the family knows, His second brother himself didn't like to study, so Mr. Wei pinned his hopes on him.

Mrs. Xu sat on the edge of a kang, lowered her head, and tried her best to polish a piece of cotton handkerchief she had embroidered. For the first time, she did not cry.

"Quack! Quack, cluck..." A few chickens and ducks in the yard suddenly screamed like crazy.

"Who is that wicked ghost outside? Is it a small stone?" Mrs. Wei got up and opened the window to look into the yard, got off the kang, and ran out angrily, pulling her shoes.

When she was about to reach the door, Little Stone jumped out of the chicken coop, winked at her and made a strange face, and said, "Grandma, look at it, you are making the chickens and ducks not stop."

"You little bastard, come here and see if I don't beat you up!" The old lady Wei was furious, took off her shoes and slapped the little stone.

Weige watched Xiao Shishi run out of the yard through the open window expressionlessly, and said to Mrs. Xu: "My mother has become more and more irritable in the past two years."

"Yeah, I'm looking down on our family more and more." Mrs. Xu smiled wryly.

"Are you two dead? I don't know what to do. Bring the shoes back to me!" Mrs. Wei couldn't catch up with the little stone, so she had to turn back and get on the kang, patting the new shoe that Mrs. Xu gave her. Clothes, "What's the use of making these for me? Xiao Wang and Ba Duzi are going to piss me off, I can't wear them. Third, you bring him back to me, he must be given a good meal today." , grow your memory! He is still studying, but he can’t learn the virtues well, so don’t let him study quickly, so as not to waste time.”

"I heard you being silly from a long distance away. The third son never comes back, so can't he be happy?" Mr. Wei entered the yard.

Several houses were built, and the old man started digging fish ponds, and he was so busy that he never touched the ground every day. Hearing that his third son was back, he came back here to have a look because he was afraid that the conscientious old lady would offend him.

"Father is back? How bad is the fish pond?" Weige greeted him with a small broom, and helped the old man pat the dirt on his body and head.

"How much worse, just go and see for yourself." The old lady Wei sat on the kang and said dissatisfiedly, "Your father built a house for you and moved you, and you don't even have the time to see it." ?”

"Cough, um..." Mr. Wei cleared his throat, threw her shoes on the ground, and glared at Mrs. Wei with dissatisfaction, "If you can't speak, don't say it. The fourth daughter-in-law is inconvenient. The eldest daughter-in-law is alone. Too busy, you and the third daughter-in-law go to the kitchen to have a look."

The old lady Wei didn't dare to disobey, so she called Mrs. Xu, and went to the kitchen with a cluck.

The father and son sat down, chatted about the fish pond and the new house, and then settled the accounts.

The houses are built with green bricks and large tile houses, each with its own stone courtyard walls, and green brick corridors are paved in the yards. Weige alone spent 15 to [-].

Weige sympathized with the old man's hard work, and gave a total of 20 taels.

Seeing his son's generosity, Mr. Wei felt relieved, and said, "If you have one, Dad will keep it, and it will be a filial piety during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Weige hurriedly said, "Mid-Autumn Festival is Mid-Autumn Festival..."

"Hey..." Mr. Wei waved his hand and said with a smile: "I know you have it, but it was earned by the third girl. You have to continue to take the exam in the future. Naturally, the more money you save, the better. Dad is still looking forward to it. "

"En." Weige replied sullenly, and every time he mentioned money, he would say that Sanya earned it. This kind of feeling is really hard to describe.He is only thirty, and there are plenty of opportunities. As long as he is admitted as a scholar, he will be able to exempt his family from taxes in the future. Who knows who will take advantage of whom.

"Let's go, let's go to the fish pond to have a look." Mr. Wei couldn't stay idle, and stood up again.

Weige hurriedly said: "Father, don't go in a hurry, my son still has something to discuss with you."

In addition to celebrating Old Madam Wei’s birthday when he came back this time, he also wanted to talk about moving, “Sanya has the idea of ​​moving our family to Duanshan Town when she goes to the provincial capital, and she wants me to study in Duanshan Academy. "

Mr. Wei frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Isn't this a good thing, what does she know about a girl? How dare she move to the provincial capital after earning a few coins by chance?"

Wei Ge said: "Father, Sanya has been selling seafood for so long, and she has been doing very well. Duanshan Town is not far from Lushan Port. Sanya said that as long as she is willing to endure hardship, it is not a problem to support a family. Besides, his mother's embroidery The workmanship is very good, and if my son writes letters and copies books to fill in the gaps, it will not be worse than living here."

"That girl is sensible, and her heart is big." Mr. Wei seemed a little moved, "If this child can really stand up, move..."

"Old man, you can't do it!" Old lady Wei raised the curtain and rushed in aggressively, "In the provincial capital, it costs money to burn a firewood stick, and renting a house is not a small amount. If something happens, I want to ask for help We can’t find it. Our family is just about to get up, and we can’t stand those big winds and waves. If you want to read, third child, you can sit in the library and read at the same time. No one cares about you, and you must not move if you want to move.”

Weige argued: "Mother, I don't spend money from my family."

The old lady Wei waved her hand vigorously in the air, "Don't fart, can the family ignore it if something happens? With Sanya's vigor, can you guarantee that she won't cause trouble?"

When she said this, Mr. Wei also hesitated. He heard that there are many children from rich families in Duanshan Academy. The Hou's mansion can't quench the near thirst, and the Wei family certainly can't.

At noon, the whole family discussed this matter together, except for the second brother Wei Chunshan who expressed support, the others did not agree.

Therefore, this matter was ruthlessly rejected by the Wei family.

Weige was in a bad mood, he didn't even look at his new house, and went straight back to Yuguan Town.

……

The family name of Duanmu Chang'an's maternal ancestor was Xie, and there were two champions in the family, one was Tanhua, and eight were Jinshi. They were truly scholarly and wealthy families.

The Xie family lived on the bank of the Qishui River in the east of the city. The main house had five entrances and five exits. It also had a huge riverside garden, comparable to a modern Grand View Garden.

Wei Yan and Qin Zai entered through the side door, followed the servant for about a quarter of an hour before entering the garden, and then were invited by the two women to Old Madam Xie's rosin yard.

This is a courtyard with three entrances, and the reception area is a large flower hall with two entrances.

Although Wei Yan is from modern times, her parents are busy with work, and she is busy with studies. I have never seen such a low-key and luxurious deep house compound. Like Qin Zai, he is a bumpkin.

Fortunately, both of them can pretend, they can see their noses, their noses and their hearts, and they can also act like they have seen the world.

There are many people in the flower hall, most of them are young men and women, the singing of Yingying and swallows, the fragrance of clothes and shadows on the temples, it is very lively.

"Are you two Mr. Qin Zai and Miss Wei Sanya?" A servant asked, he was polite, but his voice was a bit loud, and a "Wei Sanya" immediately attracted more than a dozen pairs of curious eyes.

Both of them were wearing ordinary poplin clothes, which are almost synonymous with the poor and the servants in this place where the bells and drums are full of jade and the rich and white.

A lot of people started talking about it presumptuously.

"Wei Sanya, no maidservant has such a name now."

"Isn't it all men's clothes? After all, men's and women's clothes."

"Female, the short one is a female, with a female silver crown on her hair, very old-fashioned."

"A slave of the Xie family?"

"No, one is called the son, and the other is called the young lady."

……

These arguments are getting more and more outrageous and hurt people's self-esteem.

Qin Zai glanced at Wei Yan, seeing that she didn't even raise her eyebrows, he immediately felt relieved, and said, "I didn't expect you to be so well-bred, but I can't hold back anymore."

His volume is normal, and there are quite a few people around him.

Self-cultivation is also a kind of rules, and rules are a compulsory course for the children of wealthy families.

They talked like this, and they fell behind in self-cultivation.

Without arguing or arguing, Qin blocked most people's mouths with one sentence and wiped out half of their prestige.

Holding the gift, Wei Yan said carelessly: "What's the point? Since you know it's a Hongmen Banquet, you must have the consciousness of being shady. Such a small trick is just a small cold dish, and it won't go anywhere."

The young man was walking beside, seeing the two people talking as if no one else was there, he couldn't help breaking out in cold sweat, he shrank his neck and brought the two people in front of Duanmu Changning and Duanmu Changan.

Duanmu Chang'an nodded to the two, and said to the boy: "Twenty boards, go get them yourself."

Duanmu Changning winked at the boy, the boy's face was ashen, and he went out as if he was sifting chaff.

"My younger brother is naughty, I apologize to you." Duanmu Changan cupped his hands towards Weiyan.

Has Prince Zhenbei apologized? !

There was no sound in the flower hall.

Wei Yan smiled and said: "Your Majesty is serious, it's just a joke." At this point, she cupped her hands towards Duanmu Changning, "Second Young Master, my nickname is Wei Sanya, and my big name is Wei Yan, you can call yourself whatever you like. "

Seeing that Wei Yan didn't care, Duanmu Changning suddenly felt bored, scratched his head, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to see my grandmother."

His eyes fell on the small bundle in Wei Yan's hands, and then he looked at Qin Zaikong's hands, and his eyes were filled with joy again, and he thought, this time you should make a fool of yourself.

Duanmu Changan knew his younger brother too well, and Duanmu Changning knew what shit he was shitting as soon as he pouted his ass.

But this kind of innocence, just a small embarrassing scheme, Duanmu Chang'an didn't want to stop it.

Gift giving, poor or poor, rich or rich, as long as it makes sense, it can be given in any way.

Qin Zai's response just now was very decent, but these little tricks on the lips are not enough to show that he has great wisdom. If he wants to win the eyes of that person, he has to perform better.
