102. Not worth mentioning

Wang forced a smile to propose marriage and came home happily.

He Peipei is at the age of inquiries, and she doesn't have to go out. She learns to do acupuncture and does housework at home every day, and pays great attention to all matters at home. Her mother had dinner early in the morning, and was frowning for half a day. She gritted her teeth and asked her to buy snacks at Piaoxiangyuan. After a long time of procrastination, she was unwilling to accept it. Seeing his brother walking around in the yard for more than ten times, her mother took a breath and went to the next door to inquire about the marriage of the third girl. Now seeing her mother coming back with her face full of spring breeze, He Peipei greeted her and asked her mother with a smile, "Is it true that Zijin's grandmother didn't agree!" At this age, even if her brother married a fairy, she might not be able to like her.

Bah, Bah, Bah! Wang spat three times on the ground, put his hands together, "Amitus Buddha, the child is talking nonsense, Bodhisattva, don't blame him."

Huh? Her mother's attitude was wrong. He Peipei asked again, "Mom, is this done?"

"Of course! What kind of person is your brother! He is so tall and strong, and he is good at martial arts. He has studied in school. I know what this is called?" Wang praised his son for not being soft-mouthed. She said to her daughter, "This is called both civil and military!"

Wang poured a cup of tea and drank it, raising his eyebrows, "Which girl can't be happy with my son's talent with both civil and military skills!"

He Peipei was stunned and said in a very honest way, "Mom, that wasn't what you said when you went to Zijin's house!" This became so fast?

"What do children know at home?" Wang asked, "Are you ready for clothes?"

"Where is it so fast? I'm not a god."

Wang said, "You go and see the third girl. That work is so bright. Of course, she should make money by making money. But Zijin is better than you, and the embroidered flowers are better than you."

A big hatred for He Peipei in this life is that someone always compares her with Xiao Ming next door. Even if her biological mother cannot touch this scale! He Peipei immediately said angrily, "Yes, everyone is better than me! It's like you are Xue Qian Needle! If you have Xue Qian Needle's skillful hands, I will definitely be good at work now." He also said that she didn't embroider well, and her mother couldn't embroider at all! She could at least embroider a small red flower in the leaves!

Wang said, "Look, I just said that, why are you not happy? I mean, our two families are not outsiders now, so you should go around more often and learn needlework from the third girl. She will teach you with all your heart." Then let the third girl teach your daughter for a few years, and when the daughter gets married, the daughter will have better needlework.

Because her mother took her to compare with Xiao Ming next door, He Peipei was still angry and revealed her mother's true feelings, "I put three incense sticks on the Bodhisattva early in the morning and asked them not to agree. I will be happy this time..."

"What are you saying! I sincerely ask for marriage for your brother." Wang asked with a smile, "Where is your brother?"

Her brother was eavesdropping outside the door. When he heard his mother's rumors, He Han immediately showed up. He couldn't hold back his face. He poured tea for his mother attentively. Wang Shichen's son glanced at him and felt happy. He said to his son, "I think it's definitely okay, just wait to be a groom! I'll find the red material and make the clothes first. There are beddings for marriage. Now it's not as good as before. Two beds and two covers were very decent. Now people pay attention to it. The husband's family has to prepare six beds and six covers. People say six and six covers are good. Oh, I have to go and combine the eight characters to calculate the days... I have to buy new cotton bullets this autumn..." Wang Shi's nagging didn't have a single point. He Han was listening to the key points. He asked his mother, "Isn't Zijin's grandmother responding?" What does "one bed is fine?" It sounds like there is still a problem.

Wang drank all the tea in one sip, squinted his eyes and laughed, "I don't understand this, right? Silly boy. Who said that the daughter leader of his relatives can respond on the spot! No matter how happy he is, he has to put our support for two days. This is the woman's airs. Zijin's mother said that she would reply to me at most three days! Go and break some elm seeds on the tree to send to Zijin's house! Don't the third girl like to eat it!"

"Hey!" He Han happily went to the yard to climb trees and broke elm seeds.

His elm trees are a bit old and tall. People are now all bungalows, down-to-earth. He Han climbed the tree and saw the third girl and Zijin holding skirts in one hand and scooping water in the other. He Han sat on the elm trees and looked at them, and was infatuated for a while and couldn't get down.

The third girl He Zijin didn't know that someone was peeping. A Nian went over to help his sister Zijin water her. The old ghost in his body was nagging, "The silly boy next door is peeking on the elm tree."

A Nian straightened up and looked at He Han's house. In desperation, He Han held a large handful of elm seeds and blocked his face. When he was most concerned about face, he pushed his hands on the thick branch and jumped down with a plop.

A Nian: Just look at it, he won’t say it out loud. Just don’t look at his sister Zijin.

Not long after, He Han brought a large bunch of elm seeds and stuttered, "Try it for the third sister and Zijin sister."

Shen smiled, "Thank you for thinking." Ming Cui'er accepted it.

He Han blushed, "Auntie, I, I'll go back." He didn't see the third girl at all, and the third girl was still watering the vegetable garden behind her.

Mrs. Shen smiled and said, "Okay, go."

Cui'er ran to Caiyuanzi with her legs and passed the message, "Mr. Ahan is here to send elm seeds."

Just give it to me. The third girl is inconvenient to go out to meet her now. He Zijin sent the little follower A Nian and said, "A Nian, go and have a look."

A Nian was really not interested in seeing He Han. He wanted to help Sister Zijin water the vegetable garden. However, he listened to Sister Zijin's words very much, so he went to see He Han. He just happened to say goodbye.

A Nian sent He Han out and arrived at the door. A Nian said, "I didn't talk about you on the tree."

He Han patted A Nian's shoulder heavily and almost patted the person on the ground. He Han praised, "Good brother! Brother, you know you are a man!" He Han immediately returned to normal, his face turned red, his ears turned red, his mouth turned red, and his mouth stuttered. Because he was praised by the tall and powerful brother He Han as a man, A Nian's little heart is quite useful, so he did a good job every day to remind He Han, saying, "Brother A Han, don't blush when you come to my house. This is not great." How can he be so shy when he looks like a bear?

Even if He Han looks like a bear, he is still a young bear with a new head and falls in love. He scratched his head and said, "You don't know, you will know when you are so old with me. If I don't do this in front of others, I just feel like my head is burning and I can't speak loudly."

He Han asked the old ghost in his heart, "Brother Ahan is not sick, right?"

The old ghost laughed, "Young people are like this~ One day you will get married if you meet such a girl~"

He Han replied in his heart, "So shameless!" How could he say such words? His little face turned slightly red. He sent He Han away and turned to find Sister Zijin~

Old Gui: To be honest, why are you shameless! This little ghost, he wasn't so pure when he was a child~

Sister Zijin had already watered the vegetable garden and spoke in Old Lady He's house. He Zijin said, "I made elm seed rice later and gave some to Brother Ahan for food."

Old Madam He said to her, "Idiot, why are you so scheming!" She had to make some broken elm seeds and send them to others. Are you stupid?

Seeing that the third girl was also there, Mrs. He happened to teach the two girls in the family and said, "This man can't treat them too well. You have to give them a sweet date so that they can feel your goodness. If you are considerate and always consider it, they think you are taking it for granted, and they can't think it's a good day!"

He Zijin praised, "Grandma is so wise!" He said strangely, "Where could defeat Aunt Li in the Embroidery House and get her grandfather!"

Old Madam He said with a slight squeak, "This is the simplest. Just think about it, don't be too real. You can't live a good life just by relying on it!" He couldn't grasp the man's heart!

The three girls He Zijin laughed at each other and flattered Mrs. He.

A Nian was hearing Mrs. He teach his two sisters life wisdom. After a while, He Zijin went to the kitchen to see the food. A Nian followed him. On the way, A Nian quietly said to his sister Zijin, "Sister Zijin, you have always been nice to me, and I know that you are nice to me, and I won't take it for granted."

He Zijin smiled, "Don't listen to my grandmother's nonsense, I must have been good with A Nian."

"Yeah!" A Nian then became happy.

Old ghost:...

He Han sent the elm seed home, but his face was still blushing. Seeing his son's stupidity, Wang was angry and amused. Fortunately, although the third girl did not have a dowry of fifty acres of land, twenty acres of land were not bad. Her husband went home for lunch, and Wang told her husband happily about the good news. He Nian was also surprised and said, "I really didn't expect that my aunt was so generous. This is really the sun coming out from the west."

Wang smiled and poured a cup of warm tea to her husband, "See what you said, I said that my aunt is good, but she is hard on her lips and has a good heart. Zijin and her mother are famous and virtuous people, and she has a good heart. How could she feel wronged the third girl?"

Thinking that his daughter-in-law's dowry was still acceptable, He Nian laughed, "Anyway, it was an unexpected surprise. His daughter-in-law has good needlework, so why worry about the family business in the future?"

Wang smiled, "Yes, I can pass on the craftsmanship to our granddaughter in the future. If the granddaughter has this craft, it will be better to be close in the future."

He Nian took a sip of tea and put the teacup on the table next to him, and said, "Take the eight characters at that time, go to Furong Temple and Chaoyun Temple to calculate it to see if there is any obstacle in his life." The third girl is now in good condition, so she is afraid that her life will be hard.

Wang smiled, "I don't know what I should prepare. We have to prepare things. We can't give the third girl so many dowry, so our betrothal gifts will not be shabby, right? Also, the house has to be cleaned up, and my aunt has to measure the size and make furniture."

In short, because the third girl's intention of marrying exceeded the imagination of He Nian and Wang couple, the couple, who were a little hesitant about the marriage in the past, completely subdued the twenty acres of land and happily discussed their son's marriage.

After dinner in the evening, Mrs. He called a family to have a meeting, which means that He Han next door asked to marry the third girl. The third girl was naturally willing. He Gong also felt that the He Han family was not suitable, and the two families were separated by a wall and were close to each other. He and He Nian were brothers of the clan. He had a good relationship with each other for many years. Even if He Han's mother Wang was a little stingy, she was not bad at all. Seeing that everyone had no objection, Mrs. He talked about the third girl's dowry again. Because He Zijin listened to the first half, she didn't know that Mrs. He bought the land with the money he earned from the third girl.

Old lady He said to the third girl with integrity, "In the past few years, you have bought fifteen acres of land you have made. Your aunt is generous and has added five acres to you. This is twenty acres. You can also be considered a dowry in our Bishui County, and this is not bad. In the future, just stand up and live! I will give you some more money to make a few furniture pieces for you, which is worthy of your deceased great-grandfather! If you have time, take you to see the land. You will have a tenant farm and plant it. If you have any future, you will have your own prospects. Don't want the furniture to be good. When Ahan's family cleans up the house, measure the size, and make a set of elm boards. If you want good ones in the future, go and earn it yourself."

In the past, in He Zijin's country in his previous life, his teachers often taught children when they were young that there was a spirit called "good things are not famous".

It’s not that Mrs. He is not a person who does good deeds without leaving a reputation, but He Zijin felt that being able to say good deeds to such a bad face is also a genius. Fortunately, the third girl is not ungrateful. She knew that there would be a dowry, but she never thought that her grandmother could buy these land for herself. After being moved, the third girl burst into tears. She called Mrs. He so despised her, and said angrily, "I cry so much! Tears are not valuable! If you cry, you can cry a tank and ask me to give me a sum!" She thought that she had to take some money to make furniture for the third girl, and Old Madam He was not angry.

He Zijin said, "I said, why did my grandmother collect the money earned by my third sister first? I thought I had entered my grandmother's private room."

"Tsk~ I really like these three melons and two dates." As she said this, I was actually very rare. Now the land is worth four taels of silver per acre. The third girl has been taking jobs in the embroidery shop over the years, and she has saved more than fifty taels of silver in the past few years. In the mind of Mrs. He, no investment is as good as buying land. Fortunately, the third girl can still make money by herself, and she doesn't need to pay too much. She will spend a few taels of silver to make a set of furniture. It's all because of her shameless father, Na Xiaona, gave birth to a bad brother, and the bad brother gave birth to a bad nephew. She left such a girl and came to join her, but she couldn't strangle her to death, so she had to pay some money to marry her.

The third girl wiped away her tears and said, "My grandma taught me over the years and taught me how to learn needlework. Great kindness, how can I ask for these fields? It's up to my aunt to keep them. I can make money for needlework and I can still earn it in the future."

"Tsk~ Do you think I am like your great-grandfather, who was like 100 acres of land in the past, but in the end it was not all for the evil grandfather and grandson. If I had known this, I would have given me all." The evil grandfather and grandson specifically pointed to the third girl's father and grandson. Old Madam He complained about his father who had died for n years, scolded his nephew and the nephew of the uncle and said to the third girl, "The marriage has been settled, and I will live a life in the future. I will only support you this time, and don't even think about it in the future!"

My grandmother He is always unable to say anything else to refuse. The third girl knows that My grandmother He has such a temper, her eyes are still red, and she can't help but smile.

Old Madam He rolled her eyes and thought to herself, "Isn't it happy to know that I've cut my flesh?" Old Madam He turned to He Zijin and said, "Your third sister is not bad, you can save your dowry by yourself. You will give me the money for selling flowers or copying books in the future. I will save it for you, and I will make land for you when you save enough."

He Zijin said, "I only have a lot of money!"

"I don't think it's too little!" The third girl's dowry, Mrs. He cut her flesh. She was so painful that she wanted to find some to come back from He Zijin. At least she earned a little, so she could earn a few acres of land in the future, so that her family would not have to pay too much dowry. Isn't the rest of the family the only one who is his baby grandson A Lie? Mrs. He is very proud of his wisdom. She must be so master of her family to be prosperous!

He Zijin reluctantly said, "I have to consider it when I make money."

"You ungrateful girl, you have to think about it! I even left my words. Your third sister will marry her and make furniture. If you get married, you will also make furniture for you. You don't have to make any money. Don't think of your family giving you the fields at home in the future!" said Mrs. He, "The land is all A Lie, and no one is allowed to move! A Lie will still pass it to my great-grandson in the future!"

He Lie is still not sure about it. He said, "Grandma, if there are many, it's nothing to give some to the third sister and sister."

My grandmother He suddenly felt as if she had been removed from her heart. For the first time since He Lie was born, he taught him a lesson with a stern face, "Bad! Is this yours? This is for my great-grandson! No matter who it is, he is not allowed to move the land at home. Do you know? Just buy some! If anyone dares to split it up, it will be the unfilial descendants of our He family!"

He Lie dared not speak anymore.

For a moment, Old Madam He sent everyone away, but only A Nian was left behind.

Mrs. He said to A Nian, "Look, the third girl is a girl, and she can earn a fortune for herself. A Nian, you are a boy, and you have to establish a family in the future, but you have to think about your future! Your adoptive father gave it to you, and he has A Xuan and A Jiang in his family, who is the son raised by someone's main house! The third girl has worked in the embroidery workshop at the age of nine, and now she can earn fifteen acres of land. Anyone who marrys you can take it out! You are nine years old this year, and you can't read that hard book every day, but you can't read gold! Think about it yourself, What kind of livelihood do in the future!" It would be fine if I couldn't read it. Now, not only was my son going to study for the autumn examination, but his grandson He Lie was also studying, and A Nian followed him and began to learn to write. The paper and ink were also costing a lot! Although A Nian had a 100 taels of support, Old Mother He felt that this money was enough to support A Nian, but studying was a expensive job and could not afford A Nian's study. Fortunately, A Nian also knew a few words at this time, so it would be better to learn the skills at the age of elementary school and live a better life in the future.

After listening to Mrs. He, Ah Nian felt that it was not unreasonable and asked, "Grandma, what kind of business is suitable for me?"

Mrs. He analyzed to A Nian, "You have thin arms and thin legs now, and you will definitely not be able to farm. I want to say that learning craftsmanship is the most suitable. As the saying goes, you can eat all over the world with one trick. With the skills, it will be easier to make a living in the future."

A Nian asked, "What crafts are good for me?"

Mrs. He said, "You must have this plan. In a few days, your adoptive father will come back and tell him about learning craftsmanship. I'll ask you about a reliable shop and you can go and make a living."

A Nian said, "If I want to learn craftsmanship, can I earn fifteen acres of land?"

Mrs. He said, "When you work hard, why can't you earn? Then you give me the money you earn and I'll buy you land."

A Nian said, "When the grandmother has placed the land, don't give it to me, I don't want it, I'll give it to Sister Zijin." His sister Zijin's family is not as good as her third sister, and A Nian knows that Sister Zijin has no money. Therefore, he has to learn to make money as a dowry for Sister Zijin, otherwise she will lose face when she goes to her in-laws' house in the future.

Mrs. He sighed, "I did not read you wrong, A Nian really has a conscience!" Seeing his girl's movies, she doesn't seem to be able to earn fifteen acres of land. Fortunately, she is very good at coaxing people, and a fool can help her earn.

A Nian nodded seriously, "Then I want to learn craftsmanship and then tell my grandmother."

When A Nian returned to the house and thought about a way out, Old Madam He was content, "How can I leave me in this family?"

Madam Yu laughed, "Yes, I have to count on the wife to watch." After flattering Mrs. He, Madam Yu said, "I heard from the uncle that A Nian is quite spiritual in studying."

"What's the use of being spiritual? I don't have this life." said Mr. He, "At the beginning of two young people, I just learned the word "words" and the monthly expenses of pens, ink and paper are more than 500 yuan. How can I afford it? In the future, if I want to become a disciple and go to school, I have to study with Mr. Xu, I will have two taels of silver in a month! Asu said that he was a Jinshi master and had no money. When I went to the imperial capital, I heard that his clan had raised fifty taels for him to be a flower on the road. His Yue family said that there was one or two acres of land, how much could it be funded? He didn't have silver in his own family. However, Zijin's mother must have given him silver and asked him to spend money. It's been half a year since he went to the imperial capital. I have to say whether there were one or two left when he came back."

"Aunt Feng is an official. I heard from A Jing that in this God Capital, we can raise money first to find a good job." Old lady He sighed, "Think about it, although Asu came back, he had to go to the imperial capital, and the official was not yet accused of borrowing money. Is it good that he still had money to support A Nian's school?"

"It's Asu himself, he is almost thirty years old. He has been studying for twenty years before he has passed the Jinshi. Who can support him to read for twenty years? Besides, he may not be able to read it out? Learn craftsmanship as soon as possible, and there is still a settlement." Old Madam He had a book in her heart.

It was not easy for Madam Yu to think that it was difficult for Madam Yu to offer to He Gong, He Lie and his son to study at home. Even if A Nian has talent, it would be very difficult to offer one more. Madam Yu said, "Uncle Shen can pass the Jinshi and become an official in the future. Even if it is difficult for a while, it will be better. If you are really tight, it doesn't matter if you borrow some."

Mrs. He laughed angrily, "I don't care about this anymore. Anyway, I am still the one who is my family. Our own fields cannot be moved. Zijin's mother has money, and the shop has been open for more than ten years. She is not very generous and has bought more than a hundred acres of land outside. She likes to borrow, but she borrows her mother's brothers in private. When the girl's movies are married, we will write a letter to Asu to cry. It's just this niece, he is embarrassed to not add makeup? He has been in office for several years at that time. I can't say that he has no money. I will add a few more makeup. Your big grandmother has a private house and will not shorten the girl's movies. The girl's movies are all complete, ensuring the decent. The things from the ancestors can't move, and then they will all be passed on to Alie and let Alie pass them to my great-grandson."

Madam Yu praised, "It's still the wife who is smart."
