Early the next morning, Qinghe told Liu Yunan what he had heard.
"The eldest girl seems to be a different person. In the past few months, she has been going to Zhuangzi to plant trees, vegetables, and flowers all day, or she is reading the ledger and counting money in the shop. Oh, yes, she also went to buy it herself. Vegetables, cook for the eldest uncle."
Hearing what Liu Tangxi did, Liu Yunan frowned slightly.
Are these made by people who seem to have crossed
Obviously an ancient man.
Even more like an ancient person than Liu Tangxi before.
"Who has she been in contact with?" Liu Yunan asked.
Qing He thought for a while, and said, "No. Before Zhuangzi went to buy fruit, there were many people, and the eldest girl usually didn't come forward. They all went to the house to make cakes, and it was the lady who entertained the ladies and young ladies of the various houses."
"Can she see the princess over there?"
Qing He shook his head: "No, not only did I not see you, the eldest girl seems to be hiding from the Crown Princess's family."
"Where is King Jin?"
Qing He smiled and said, "Speaking of which, this is related. The house of King Jin's mansion is next to his wife's house. I heard that the little princess saw the eldest lady's cooking is delicious and wanted her to cook for her, but the eldest lady refused in person. Now, the county lord is very unhappy. The county lord went to his wife's house after the incident, and was later called away by the prince."
Liu Yunan nodded.
"Where's the third prince?"
"The third prince's side is the time we know. The eldest lady saw the third prince at the gate of the palace, but didn't recognize it."
Hearing this, Liu Yunan was relieved.
If Liu Tangxi is really reborn, according to the thinking of ordinary people, he will definitely be close to the future emperor. Judging from Liu Tangxi's actions, she avoided the prince, rejected King Jin, and pretended not to know the third prince. The meaning of this is obvious.
The crown prince is not the future victor, neither is King Jin, he can only be the third prince.
She had offended the third prince before, she had offended her, and she knew that they would succeed in the end, so she pretended to have amnesia like this.
If Liu Tangxi was not reborn but transmigrated, it would be better.
Liu Tangxi changed her inner core, and the grievances between the two of them had nothing to do with her.
Look at what she has done in the past six months, she seems to be living a stable life with no big ambitions.
As long as Liu Tangxi didn't come to provoke her and cause her trouble, she wouldn't bother her either.
Therefore, whether she is reborn or transmigrated, it has nothing to do with her.
"Well, there is no need to stare at the elder sister's side, let people keep an eye on the prince's side."
"Yes, girl."
It had been half a month when Wei Laosan and others received Wei Hanzhou's letter.
After getting the letter, the third child Wei was illiterate and could not read.
When Bo Sheng came back in the evening, the family gathered together to listen to the contents of the letter.
Hearing Wei Hanzhou say to let them go to the capital, the family fell silent.
Ever since Wei Hanzhou passed the exam and was awarded an official position in the capital, the third Wei family has become different from before.
Bosheng went to the county town to study, and Wei Daniu and Wei Erhu also looked for work in the county town.
Third Wei and Mrs. Li went to town to sell candied haws, and Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhou occasionally followed.
All the income in the family is added up, and they can earn two hundred cents a day, which is six taels of silver a month.
In addition, the apples sold a lot of money this year, as well as the harvest in the fields, they have saved more than one hundred taels of silver in their hands.
I'm thinking of making some money by selling candied haws and building a big house next spring.
The capital is so far away from them that they don't even know where to look to find the direction.
Third Wei has lived here all his life, and his first reaction was to object.
However, this matter was brought up by his most trusted and promising son, and the son also mentioned other things in the letter.
Wei Hanzhou is very smart and knows the third child well, so he focused on the things that third third Wei cares about.
For example, there are many learned gentlemen in the capital, and Bo Sheng is smart. If they can get their guidance, maybe they will be able to pass the exam as soon as possible. In the future, there is also a great possibility that the jubilee and the jinshi will pass the examination. But it's hard to say if you languish in the countryside.
In addition to Bo Sheng, Zhong Hang can also be enlightened early. Moreover, he is still in the capital and can give pointers to two nephews.
In addition, there is a female gentleman in the capital who can teach Fuyao and Shulan to read.
This is the education of the children and grandchildren.
He also mentioned that although the price of goods in the capital is high, if you do work, you will pay more wages. Whether it's cooking and washing clothes for people, or going to the dock to pick up sacks, you can make more money. This is looking for a living for David Daniel and others.
Wei Hanzhou didn't mention Liu Tangxi's background at all. Because he knew that the third child of Wei had already known about this matter. Since the hawthorn was delivered, the third child of Wei had written to him to ask. In the same way, he is also aware of the temperament of Wei's third child, knowing that he does not want to rely on his wife's family. So I didn't mention a word, just how to make a living with both hands.
Every sentence is said on the issue that Wei Laosan is most worried about.
Third Wei thought about the contents of the letter and looked at his son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren, and grandchildren who were sitting beside him.
Looking at the excited expressions on their faces, Third Youngest Wei was unable to say anything against it.
"Let's go back to the house and discuss this matter."
"Yes, Dad."
Now that Wei Hanzhou and Liu Tangxi are not at home, their house is given to the little sisters Fuyao and Shulan.
After returning to the house, Shu Lan whispered, "Eldest sister, I miss the third uncle and the third aunt."
Fuyao said, "I also miss the third aunt. The food made by the third aunt is delicious, but the milk and the mother can't make that taste."
"I remember the third aunt said that there are hawthorn cakes and candied haws in the capital. I really want to eat them."
"I want to eat, too… "
The two of them swallowed in unison.
Not only the two little girls, but others are also discussing this.
Except for Bo Sheng who slept alone.
When Bo Sheng was old, Wei Daniu made a bed for him, and he slept in the study.
If there is someone who is the most urgent among these people, it must be Daniu Wei and Mrs. Zhang.
The reason is because of Bo Sheng.
"If he can go to the capital, with his third uncle and third aunt, he will have a good future." Zhang said.
Wei Daniu thought the same way, but he saw the face of Wei's third child.
"But I looked at what Dad meant, and he didn't seem to want to go."
Mrs. Zhang pursed her lips and said, "Whether Dad wants to go or not, even if we don't go, I want Bo Sheng to go. His third uncle is the champion, and it is better to be by his side than by our side. ."
This is probably the only time in Zhang's life that he wants to refute the elders.
David Newton paused and said, "Well, let's see, I think Dad is a little hesitant, or else I'll say it tonight."
Then, the two didn't say anything.
Wei Erhu's side is not as calm as this side, and the two are very excited.
"Zhongxing is two years old now, and when she goes to the capital, she will be able to go to school next year. Fuyao is eight years old this year, and will be nine years old after the new year. In a few years, she will have to talk about her husband's family. Now she can read and embroider. , I don't want her to look in the village." Zhou said.
Wei Erhu agreed with Zhou's words very much and said: "Well, I have seen it, no one in the eight villages in ten miles is worthy of our daughter. I don't like those who plan to eat in the fields, but we Fuyao can read. Those who study, most of them are either poor or high-minded, just like the uncle's family, Fu Yao can't marry such a person."
Zhou nodded: "Isn't it? Her third uncle is an official, so she has to find a son of an official family, or find someone to marry an ordinary person. She has to be from the city, and she has no worries about food and clothing."
"Yes, you are absolutely right."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhou remembered Liu Tangxi's identity. She knew that Third Wei and Mrs. Li strictly forbid them to disclose this matter, but now she has to mention it again.
Zhou Shi whispered: "Also, her third aunt is a girl from Hou's mansion. Seeing that the steward who came to deliver the hawthorn dresses more decently than the shopkeeper in the county town, I don't know how big the family business is. She used to like it the most. Fuyao is gone, and I don’t know if she can find a Fuyao…”
Wei Erhu was thinking about the future, and when he heard his daughter-in-law say this, he immediately retorted: "Don't have such an idea. You can't mention it in front of your parents. If your father finds out, you will be angry."
The expression on Zhou's face was embarrassing, and he said, "I'm not just talking about it, and I don't really want Fuyao to find a good family background. That's great, even if we climb high, then the hardship will be the one. Fuyao. I just hope she can marry well and live well. I heard that Marquis is older than our prefect here, and I don’t know how big it is…”
For them, the county magistrate is already very big, and the prefect is beyond their imagination, not to mention the more powerful Hou Ye.
"I don't know either, I've only heard of it in dramas before." Wei Erhu said.
While talking, the two of them mentioned things like going to the capital to find a job, how much wages they could get each month and so on.
The two said they fell asleep very late.
Wei Laosan and Li's two are different from their children and grandchildren, they are a little silent.
The two of them were naturally happy to be able to go to the capital to see their son and see the legendary capital.
However, as they get older, they are very attached to their homeland. Although he wanted to see his third son, he was reluctant to leave the place where he had lived his whole life. Even though there are not many close relatives and friends here, it is hard to leave the homeland.
"Hey, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, but I miss the third child, and I don't know how he and his daughter-in-law are doing in the capital." Li shi spoke first.
The third Wei said, "He is an official of the imperial court, and the third daughter-in-law is a girl from the Hou's residence. They must be doing well."
"That's it, hey."
Third Wei also sighed.
"Dad, are we really going to leave the house and go to the capital?"
Third Wei asked, "Do you want to go?"
"I don't know, I want to go but don't want to go." Mrs. Li said, and after speaking, she turned to ask the third child, "Old man, do you want to go?"
Third Wei was silent for a long time and said, "Did you see it, the sons all want to go."
Recalling the expressions of his sons just now, Mrs. Li said, "I see."
"Bo Sheng also wants to go." Third Wei said.
"Um."
"Go to sleep and think about it."
"Hey, good."
Early the next morning, Wei Daniu and Wei Erhu laughed when they saw the dark circles on each other's faces.
Afterwards, they took Bosheng to the county seat in a scooter from the next village.
In the next two days, the third child Wei was not very emotional, and he did not mention the matter of going to the capital.
Three days later, the third child Wei finally mentioned it again.
"Da Niu, Erhu, what do you think?"
Wei Daniel and Wei Erhu looked at each other. The two of them worked together and talked a lot about it.
"Father, whether we go or not, my son wants Bosheng and his third uncle to study in the capital." Wei Daniu said one thing he wanted to insist on most.
Wei Laosan nodded and looked at Wei Erhu.
Before Wei Erhu could answer, Wei Laosan read his thoughts from his face.
"Do you want the second child to go too?"
Wei Erhu touched his head and said with a smile: "I want Fuyao to marry a good family, and I want Zhonghang to find a good gentleman. I heard that people in the city are enlightened at the age of three, and we don't teach such young children here. Sir, presumably the capital can have it."
After finishing speaking, seeing that the third Wei did not speak, Wei Erhu said: "Dad, you have also seen the attitude of the villagers. When we split up, they thought we were poor, so they could bully us and help the uncle. They. Now that the third brother has become an official, one by one is coming to flatter us again. I can't stand their virtue. Also, not only the people from the village, but also people from the town and county are coming, which is very annoying. ."
Wei's third child rarely criticized his son.
He was silent for a while, then said, "Well."
"Dad, what do you mean?" Wei Erhu asked.
After asking, he looked at Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Li also looked at the third child of Wei.
Third Wei paused and said, "Let's go then."
Hearing this, everyone in the room looked at each other with relaxed smiles on their faces.
"However, even if we go, it won't happen overnight. Since we have to leave, we have to clean up this side of the house. The capital is like nowhere else, and the living, food, and use are not cheap. Sell everything, land, apple trees, hawthorn trees."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Wei Erhu asked: "Dad, don't you have to sell them all?"
Third Wei said, "Let's sell it. If we decide to leave, we won't come back. No one in the village can be trusted. When we are in the capital, no one will tell us how much they sold. If you sell them all, you can collect more money. Our apples and hawthorns have a special taste, so they must be able to sell for a lot of money. Bosheng will write to your third uncle in a while and ask him how much silver is appropriate. "
"That... that... our family is gone." Wei Daniel said.
"The tree moves to death, the person moves to live, it's the same everywhere. Now that you decide to go to the capital, don't think about getting along well and then come back. If you want to go, you have to hold on to the determination that you must stay. Shulan wants to get married, all of which will cost money, and going to the capital is not an easy task."
Da Niu, Wei Erhu, and Zhang's Li were all silent when they heard the words of Wei Laosan.
They really didn't want to go that far, and they didn't have the courage of his father.
"Don't be discouraged, the third child is in the capital, and Bo Sheng Zhongxing is studying hard. We can just suffer for a few years." Third third Wei said.
Hearing this, Bo Sheng quickly stood up.
"Grandpa, I must study hard and, like the third uncle, live up to my family's expectations."
Zhong Xing sat in Zhou's arms, looked at Bo Sheng stupidly, and waved to him with a smile: "Brother, brother."
Fuyao hurriedly said to Zhong Hang, "Shh!"
Zhong Hang looked at Fu Yao and grabbed her hand.
"Sit down. When you get to the capital, don't count on anyone. The best way is to count on yourself. Don't bother the third child everywhere. The children's schoolwork is what he should help with, and Shuxiu should also be the one who will help him. I have also been favored by you. As for other things, try to avoid troubles as much as possible. It is not easy for him to be an official, let's not drag him down. Let alone trouble the third daughter-in-law. The third daughter-in-law is a girl from the Hou family, and she has a good background, but that is herself She has such a good family background. She abandoned the third child when she was not recruited from her mother's family. That is her kindness to us. The third official must rely on the Houfu, and we can't trouble the third wife. Remember this. Living."
Liu Tangxi was born in the Hou Mansion, and Wei Hanzhou was also an official.
Even ordinary people can imagine that they will definitely help each other in the officialdom.
And the title of the Marquis Mansion is so high that it must be Wei Hanzhou, who has no family background, relies on the Marquis Mansion.
"Yes, Dad." Wei Daniu and the others responded quickly.
Third Wei thought, since the children and grandchildren want to go, let's go together. He had to watch from the sidelines, and he couldn't let a few sons ruin the third child's future.
Moreover, he also hoped that his grandchildren could do well in the imperial examinations, and he also hoped that the granddaughter who could read and embroider would marry well.
At this time, Liu Tangxi was making candied haws at home.
Since making glutinous rice that day, Liu Tangxi has studied new methods. For example, put mung bean paste, red bean paste, walnut kernels, etc. in it, and every few days, she will study with Madam Cheng, Madam Chen and others which is better.
As for the matter of selling, she has gradually forgotten about it.
Although the candied haws are delicious, Cheng Ma and others feel pantothenic acid in their mouths when they see the candied haws.
After torturing these few people, Liu Tangxi began to torture Wei Hanzhou again, forcing Wei Hanzhou to eat a bunch of candied haws every night and evaluate the taste.
Wei Hanzhou always said "delicious" and "very good", other than that, there was no other answer.
On this day, Liu Tangxi made a new flavor with kumquat. She was about to give it to Wei Hanzhou when Wei Hanzhou took out a letter from her arms.
"Dad has a letter."
As soon as these words came out, Liu Tangxi immediately forgot to let Wei Hanzhou taste the candied gourd, and asked excitedly, "What did Dad say, do you want to come?"
"Well, Dad said he would come after a year."
Liu Tangxi jumped up excitedly, grabbed Wei Hanzhou's hand, and said, "That's great, I'll tidy up the house, and then tidy up a few houses, and ask Dad where they want to live."
Wei Hanzhou handed the letter to Liu Tangxi and said, "Don't worry about it for now, we'll talk about it when Dad and the others come."
"Alright." With that said, Liu Tangxi took the letter and opened it.
Seeing Wei Hanzhou asking how much the apple tree and hawthorn tree would cost, she said, "Master, tell Dad that it must be more expensive!"
"Yeah." Wei Hanzhou nodded in response.
He knew the value of these trees in his heart and would not sell them as ordinary trees. And their fruit is delicious, and people who come to buy it will not give too low prices.
"I don't know how much it will sell, you can think about it yourself, Xianggong." Liu Tangxi said again.
"it is good."
"Let's eat."
"Yeah." Liu Tangxi was so happy that he forgot about torturing Wei Hanzhou.
Wei Hanzhou glanced at the candied haws in Madam Cheng's hand, and then at Madam Cheng.
Mother Cheng also ate a lot of candied haws, how could she not understand.
Seeing that his wife was happily talking to his uncle about other things, she quietly took the candied gourd away.
Liu Tangxi really didn't have the time to think about these things. When she thought that Li's Fuyao and the others were coming, she was overjoyed and wished to see them right away.
"You remind me in the letter, let the mother and the others come over earlier."
"Um."
Wei Hanzhou is happy that the lady gets along well with her mother and sister-in-law. But when he thinks that the relationship between her and her is better than with him, when she was in her hometown, she would spend all day with her mother-in-law and her sisters-in-law, and didn't pay much attention to him. Even if Wei Hanzhou didn't eat the candied gourd, he felt sour.
As for the matter of urging, Wei Hanzhou rarely goes against the grain and does not mention it in the letter.
He just said to let Wei San and others handle the affairs at home and come back when the weather warms up. ,,
