Zhao Cao'er knew about this because Qin He returned home the day before yesterday and Mrs. Miao mentioned a few words to him while chatting, and she overheard it.

Zhao Caoer thought that even if Qin He passed the examination, his future wife might be the daughter or sister of the same Juren, and she would be the relative of a low-ranking official. She never thought that one day her family would be related to a high-ranking official in the capital.

.

Knowing that Qin He might become the son-in-law of a high-ranking official in the capital that day, she was so excited that she didn't sleep well for two nights in a row, so as soon as Lin Qiuniang came back, she couldn't wait to tell her.

"Brothers and sisters, I really don't know about this. Don't tell anyone about it until your parents and third brother come back." Lin Qiuniang felt that this matter was most likely true, and she could guess that her father-in-law and mother-in-law kept it secret.

Because of this, Zhao Caoer was reminded.

"Sister-in-law, this is a great thing. It doesn't matter if you tell me, right?" Zhao Cao'er felt guilty and did not dare to look directly into Lin Qiuniang's eyes.

She is not a tight-lipped person, she is public and has a good face. After learning about this incident, she went out to "chat" with others. She didn't say anything too specific, she just praised Qin He from head to toe, hinting that if he was successful,

If you win a prize, you can marry the eldest daughter of a high-ranking official's family.

As long as you are not a fool, you will definitely understand the meaning of Zhao Cao'er's words. Especially the fact that Mr. Qin and Mrs. Miao personally accompanied Qin He to Beijing to see the rankings made the villagers more and more believe that Qin He had climbed a high tree.

As soon as Lin Qiuniang saw Zhao Cao'er's expression, she knew that she had not held it back: "Brothers and sisters, there must be a reason why my parents kept it secret. What should we do if we ruin something big by yelling randomly?"

Zhao Cao'er's face changed, half surprised and half frightened: "No way, this is such a good thing, how could it turn bad if you say too many words?"

Lin Qiuniang shook her head and said nothing.

Zhao Cao'er sat under the stove to light the fire, but the more she thought about it, the more she became afraid, fearing that her moment of pride would ruin her brother-in-law's good deeds, attract blame from her parents-in-law, and also ruin her own dignity.

Thinking of this, she felt extremely regretful and wanted to slap herself in the mouth.

In the main room, Rhubarb, who had returned from hunting, was excitedly jumping on Qin Xiaoxiao, whining excitedly in his throat.

In the first few days when Qin Xiaoxiao went to the city, this guy went out early and came back late looking for someone. When he didn't find anyone, he barked at Mr. Qin and others. He probably thought that they had lost his little master, so he was screwed.

Got a dog's heart.

After struggling like this for several days, the dog stopped because it couldn't find its little master. But every morning when the door of Qin's house opened, it ran to Qin Xiaoxiao's room to look for someone, and had to go in before returning to the nest at night.

Take a look.

Dahuang's daughter-in-law, Dahei, stood calmly by the side. However, in just half a month, Dahei's body became rounded and his fur became smooth and shiny. It can be seen that in just half a month, the Qin family

Give it plenty of food and drink.

Of course, the one who contributes the most is Rhubarb. It has the ability to hunt. It catches rabbits every now and then, which is enough to make Dahei stronger.

"Dahuang, come down quickly, I can't carry you~" Qin Xiaoxiao, who hadn't seen Dahuang for many days, was also very happy. She rubbed the dog's head vigorously, and then pulled the two heavy dogs on her shoulders in disgust.

claw.

"This guy Dahuang really likes his sister the most. He won't be so affectionate to our family even if we haven't seen each other for a month!" Dabao looked at his sister who was "bullied" by Dahuang, cracking melon seeds and laughing loudly.

"That's incomparable. My sister and Dahuang grew up together, so of course they are closer." Erbao also looked at it happily and waved at Dahei with a piece of mung bean cake.

Dahei glanced at it but didn't come over.

It ate a fat rabbit outside just now, and now it is not hungry at all. Even if it is very hungry, it will not eat food fed by people it does not know.

"It's a good dog!" Dabao praised, secretly admiring Dahuang's ability to trick other people's dogs back into becoming his wife, but he didn't know if Dahei's owner would find him.

Dahuang and Qin Xiaoxiao went crazy, and when Xueya came back with Bieya, the hall suddenly became more lively.

Meie had no idea about her size and strength, so she pounced on Qin Xiaoxiao like a rhubarb, knocking Qin Xiaoxiao over several times.

Qin Xiaoxiao had no choice but to move a stool and sit against the wall, feeling helpless as he was rubbed all over by the smell of wool and... the smell of sheep.

After finally getting rid of the two annoying people, Dahuang and Meie, Chuangchu, who got the news from nowhere, climbed over the courtyard wall and ran to Qin's house. Within a moment, Qin Xiaoxiao was also covered in cat hair.

Then there were several domestic cats in the village. They came to the door one after another as if they had made an appointment, and each one had to be rubbed from head to toe before they would leave.

In Dabao's words, his sister is a treasure. Not only everyone likes her, but cats and dogs also like her.

For Qin Xiaoxiao, these are all sweet burdens!

Without the interference of cats and dogs, Xueya, who had been waiting for a long time, sat down next to Qin Xiaoxiao and asked her about studying in the past half month. When she heard that she got slapped by her teacher on the first day of school, she

He mocked rudely: "The way you were unwilling before, any master would want to beat you up if he saw you!"

Qin Xiaoxiao felt embarrassed and retorted: "Sir, you are too fierce. If it were you, you would be beaten just as well."

Xue Ya said nonchalantly: "If I could study, I would be happy to be beaten every day!"

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't know what to say. If she could change it, she would wish it was Xueya who went to the city to study, and she would herd sheep at home every day.

Seeing that she remained silent, Xueya also felt that what she just said was very boring, so she just kept her mouth shut and stopped talking about studying.

After lunch, Qin Xiaoxiao and Sanbao went out with Rhubarb and Dahei. They had not been out to play like this for half a month, and they were very happy this time.

I met several villagers on the road. They stopped Qin Xiaoxiao and asked her about her studies, either out of curiosity or for other reasons.

You should know that it is the first time in Qingshan Village and even in more than a dozen surrounding villages that a female child is sent to study in the city. Many people want to know what Qin Xiaoxiao is studying in.

The news that Qin Xiaoxiao went to the city to study had just spread, and she and the Qin family were talked about a lot by the villagers. Most people were puzzled by the Qin family's move, while a few people with dark minds made random speculations.

The most outrageous theory is that the Qin family wants to train the outstanding-looking Qin Xiaoxiao into a well-educated and sensible girl, completely tie her to Mr. Jing, and then use Mr. Jing, who has a profound background, to make the Qin family a wealthy and aristocratic family.

"Dear uncles and uncles, I studied in the same school as my eldest and second brothers, and my husband taught me the same thing." Although she was in a hurry to play, Qin Xiaoxiao still answered the questions of several elders politely.

A villager hurriedly asked: "Then do you know why your grandfather sent you to study in the city?"

Qin Xiaoxiao nodded: "I know, grandpa said it was for my own good to let me study~"

Several villagers looked at each other in confusion. Wasn't it the same as saying nothing?

The villagers did not give up and asked again: "What's the best place for you?"

Qin Xiaoxiao wondered: "What's good for me is what's good for me!"

The villagers were speechless and didn't know what to say.

The others laughed and waved to Qin Xiaoxiao: "Go and play quickly, don't go into the water."

"Yeah, I know~" Qin Xiaoxiao also waved to them and left with Sanbao and the others.

Looking at Qin Xiaoxiao's back, several villagers started talking again: "Even if the Qin family wants to raise a talented girl, but they have a good biological granddaughter and they don't want to raise one, they want to raise a found one. I really don't know what Uncle Qin is thinking."

of!"

Some people disagreed: "What you said is superfluous. This girl has the Qin family's genealogy, that is, she is a member of the Qin family. In the future, she will be an heir to the family in Dashan. She is no better than Xue Ya who will always get married."

!”

"That's true. Maybe she is the only one in the house in Dashan, so she wants to take good care of her so that she can support the family in the future."

"If this girl had a good life, no one would be able to pick her up that year as if she were picked up by a mountain. This girl's days in the Qin family are no different from being in a honey pot."

"Not only that, the Qin family's life is getting better and better year by year. The third child in his family seems to have a great future. I am afraid that he will really become rich. When this girl goes out, she will be very different from the girls in our family."

"Oh, I really don't know whether I should say that the smoke coming out of the Qin family's ancestral tomb is bad luck, or that this girl is blessed by God and good days are yet to come!"

"..."

Not to mention how the villagers discussed the personnel affairs of the Qin family, Lin Qiuniang pulled Qin Shan into the room, told him that Qin He had been chosen as the son-in-law by a high-ranking official in the capital, and asked him if he knew about it.

"This, is there such a thing? It can't be possible?" Qin Shan looked confused and also knew nothing about this matter.

"This thing should be true. My parents kept it secret because there were too many variables. They were afraid that it would be spread out and have an impact on the third brother." Lin Qiuniang said her guess, with a bit of joy on her face.

: "If the third brother really becomes that high official's son-in-law, it will be a great thing for our family."

Qin Shan frowned, looked at his adobe house and said: "Marrying your daughter with your head up, marrying your wife with your head down, this matter is going to make the third child have to be squeezed to death? People outside may say that he is a soft rice!"

Lin Qiuniang understands her husband's thoughts, but she doesn't agree: "If someone likes the third brother, it is because the third brother is capable and worthy of his daughter! My parents will definitely meet someone this time, and they will not nod if it is inappropriate.

Don’t worry about it.”

Qin Shan trusted his old father's vision and breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, as long as he is not a troublemaker and his parents and three brothers like him, it will be good if he can settle down."

These words reminded Lin Qiuniang, and she hesitated and said: "If the marriage is really done, they may not come to live in our house, and our house can't live in this small place!"

Qin Shan waved his hand: "Let's see if the matter can be settled first, and then my parents will worry about the house. Our family has made a lot of money in the past two years, and it is not difficult to buy a piece of land to build a house."

Lin Qiuniang rolled her eyes at him and simply opened her mouth and said: "In our country, no matter how spacious the house is, it is not as convenient as in the city! This time the third brother really won the election, there is no way he can live in a nook in the mountains like ours. You don't know

Are you qualified to be an official?"

Qin Shan rubbed his hands and giggled: "If the third child can become an official, I, the eldest brother, will also have a bright face!"

When Lin Qiuniang heard this, her breath was stuck in her throat: Is she talking about being an official or not?

Once the brother-in-law becomes an official, even if he is just a minor official, he will have to live in the city. At that time, whether they will live with him or continue farming in the village, there is a huge difference!

Lin Qiuniang knew in her heart that Mr. Qin had the final say whether she went to the city or farmed the land. When she went to rent a house in the city, Mr. Qin directly set a two-year lease term, so she had a vague feeling that Mr. Qin was unlikely to let him.

The whole family followed Qin He.

Now that a high-ranking official has appeared in the capital and has chosen Qin He as his son-in-law, this idea has become even stronger.

…

Qin Xiaoxiao went out early and came back early. She rushed Meie into the shed and saw Dabao Erbao doing homework at the dinner table. She also took out her book box and completed the homework assigned by Xu Ze. In addition to memorizing Xu Ze's instructions

To pass "three hundred thousand", I still need to practice thirty big characters, and write each big character thirty times.

For a little girl, a beginner, practicing calligraphy is not an easy task. Moreover, Xu Ze has very high demands on her and dares to write the dog crawling character when she first entered school to cope with the errands. What awaits her is definitely another slap in the face.
