Dashan didn't have to ask for a real price, but he just said something casually, and he could guess a little from Li Feng's attitude.
Li Feng fooled Dashan's family over, but Lizheng knew the truth, because Li was the one who went to pick the horse with Li Feng at that time, and the final negotiated price took him by surprise. He was so neat that he couldn't even say what he wanted to stop him.
After returning home, he waited for the villagers to disperse before muttering a few words to Fu Lang: "I didn't expect Boy Feng to really become rich outside. From the root, his family's eyelids are too shallow. If they didn't do such excessive things, Now that Boy Feng has money, how can he treat his uncle's family badly, but the Gen family has not figured out the root of the problem until now, and they still want to take the money out of Boy Feng's hands."
Mrs. Shen also screamed obediently when he heard it, and patted his chest without blinking an eye. He spent tens of taels of silver to buy a pony. Kuang Kuan didn't pay attention to these dozens of taels of silver. Their family is considered wealthy in the village, but they are not as generous as Boy Feng.
"Talk about Boy Feng, a barren mountain costs five hundred taels of silver, and he said it would be hung under Brother Ming's name. I said a few words to him, but he just refused to change his mind. Five hundred taels of silver can do it." How many things, just smashed on a barren mountain like this, it's not my own, in case Brother Ming..." Lizheng felt that he had really worried enough, it was late enough, he was still tossing and turning on the kang and couldn't sleep.
"Bah!" Mrs. Shen was also terrified when he heard the five hundred taels of silver, but he refused to let go after hearing it, and directly lifted the quilt and sat up on the kang, "I knew you didn't like Brother Ming, I was thinking of finding an unmarried brother for Boy Feng, but don’t think about it, what kind of people were those who came to see him before. Yes, those people thought that Boy Feng was poor and thought he was good-looking Fierce, now that he is rich, they all come here, so tell me, is it Boy Feng or the money in his pocket that those people are looking for? Can such a family really live together? "
"Okay, okay," Li Zheng hurriedly surrendered, he shouldn't have explained brother Ming's right and wrong, his husband has long been partial to Ming brother, of course he didn't explain brother, "I just said That's all for talking, besides, Boy Feng won't change his mind with his brain, am I afraid that he will suffer? "
Mrs. Shen gave him a sidelong glance, staying up in the middle of the night to torment others: "If you find someone else, you won't be afraid that Boy Feng will suffer? Brother Ming has never disliked Boy Feng's appearance from the beginning."
Lizheng sighed, in fact, he was also conflicted in his heart, just like what Fulang said, if he finds other brothers, who knows if they come for money instead of real life, if life is not satisfactory, wouldn’t it be all right? Is it him who is an uncle? Besides, boy Feng is also a very righteous person, so he can't be controlled by himself.
Shen Fulang lay down again, turning his back to his man: "Sleep and sleep, you don't feel tired after tossing around for most of the night, and people from the clan and the Zhao family will bother you tomorrow. As for Boy Feng and Brother Ming, I’m just optimistic about them, just look at them, they will have a better life in the future than any other family.” Hmph, he knows that both Axiu and Mo Geer rely on Brother Ming to make money, so he is so relieved He is more generous than many men who are willing to take the people next to him instead of the brother who is desperately covering up.
Lizheng had no choice but to turn around and face the room alone. His brother's temper was getting worse and worse. He still wanted to tell him how much official Feng had become outside, although it seemed possible now. He is at home after resigning from his job, but the big man Yu is not, maybe the whole Li family and Pingshan Village will depend on Boy Feng in the future. As for the youngest Zhao of the Zhao family, Li Zheng shook his head speechlessly. When such a thing happened, what did he say that the people who developed Qiping Mountain Village in the future were just a fart in his opinion, and he didn't have much respect for him before he was admitted as a scholar, so he still hopes for the future? It's better to hope that one of my two sons can pass the exam.
In the middle of the night, I just fell asleep. In my dream, I seemed to see Boy Feng wearing armor and riding a big horse to kill barbarians. In a blink of an eye, I saw that my two sons were both awarded by Xiucai. The water mat, people from all over the village came to congratulate...
&&&
The three children just kept chattering around their Uncle Feng, causing Tang Chunming to have a headache, and drove them all out of the house to take a peaceful nap, even Li Feng was driven away by him.
Waking up with a bluffing face, even Ah Lin was afraid to approach Grandmother, Grandmother was so scary, he made Grandmother angry. Alin laughed when he saw the three children apologizing, he was really angry about getting up. After Li Feng served him and drank a cup of goat milk, he patted the kang next to him, pointed to the three children and said, "Sit down for me, I must make three rules for you, and set up the rules."
Seeing that Grandma smiled, Ah Lin came up again and held Grandma's arm: "Grandma, what are the rules?" He blinked his black eyes curiously. Li Feng couldn't help but raised his eyebrows and looked at Brother Ming. He was indeed the one he picked, and what he said was what he liked. It's not unprincipled to spoil a child. He originally wanted to take advantage of the little pony. Speaking of which, Brother Ming is more thoughtful than him.
"Just like the task I assigned to Da Mao and Er Mao before, I have to write several large characters in one day. If I don't finish it, I will punish them. I will punish them not to go out to play or to write double the amount of large characters the next day. In the past, Alin didn't want to obey the rules, but now Alin has to be the same as Big Mao and Ermao, you know?"
Da Mao is okay, Er Mao was still young and wanted to be lazy when the task was heavy, so he was punished by Ming Ah Mo and has a deep memory, so in the eyes of Er Mao today, although Ming Ah Mo is the most kind at home, it is actually the most kind Great, even more powerful than Uncle Feng. He made a mistake that time, but his hands were sore and he was not let off by Ming Ah Mo, so now hearing what Ming Ah Mo said, he couldn't help but feel his scalp tense, and he sat up straight , blinking his eyes, hoping that Ah Ming would not be too strict.
"Oh, I see, just like Brother Ermao." Alin clapped his hands and said, he was also impressed by Ermao's punishment, and Ermao couldn't tell the pain of being stabbed.
"Bring me the pen and paper, Brother Feng." Tang Chunming sat there and appointed someone, and Li Feng would not refuse to follow. He also wanted to see how Brother Ming taught and taught some children.
After rubbing the ink and unfolding the paper, Tang Chunming said to Li Feng, "Tell me what you need to do in a day to raise a foal. You can't forget when to feed fodder and water. When to clean the stable, when to bathe it, and take it out for a walk, I will list them all for you. From now on, the foal will be handed over to you to raise. If you do not follow the rules, you will be stripped. How long do you have the right to use the little pony? After making many mistakes, the horse will no longer be with you. At the same time, you are not allowed to be lazy about the homework assigned by Uncle Feng and me. If you can’t finish it, you are still not allowed to approach the pony. Foal."
Li Feng couldn't say anything wrong, he also felt that Brother Ming was doing it for the good of a few children, to cultivate the children's sense of responsibility and perseverance. Before buying the horse, he didn't think so much, so he cooperated with Brother Ming to point I said it carefully and listed it in a row. Of course, it does not mean that my brother has completely handed over the little pony to several children. Among them, Li Feng has to take on the role of a supervisor, checking the status of the pony regularly to see if they have performed their tasks well. Especially when first starting out, do it with them.
Ermao didn't quite understand what he heard, but it seemed serious, but there was good news, Ah Ming asked them to raise the pony themselves, he was so happy that he almost jumped up from the kang.
Seeing that Ah Mo was writing and couldn't care about them, Dao Da Dao whispered with his arms: "Brother, do you mean that Ah Mo really let us raise him?" Is there such a good thing? The chickens at home, their mother thinks they are clumsy, and they are afraid that they will scare the chickens so that the hens will not lay eggs.
But Da Mao felt that it was not so simple, and listened to the requirements of Uncle Feng with his ears upright. After listening, he didn't think it was difficult to do, and even if it was difficult to do, he would persevere for the sake of Ma Ju'er. For Er Mao The answer to the question is: "Ming's words always count," which is different from their mothers. For example, Ming's rewards are always honored after their homework is done. You must be lazy, otherwise Ming won't let you touch the little pony in the future." Da Mao educated his younger brother like an older brother.
"Well, I will definitely listen to Ming Ming's words." Er Mao clenched his fist, and he promised, otherwise he would not let the pony touch, not only would he be sad, but also be laughed at by the children, knowing that he can raise a pony Son, the children in the village don't know how much they envy themselves, Da Mao and A Lin.
Tang Chunming and Li Feng both listened to each other, looked at each other and smiled. In fact, they will definitely be able to do well at first. show.
Tang Chunming wrote a sheet full of paper, read the content to the three younger ones, and transcribed it again, posted one in the stable and kept the other for the bottom. Da Mao knows the most characters now, and Tang Chunming also circled the new characters for him, and he should be able to recognize these characters after he has figured them out. If he takes them with him, the two younger ones will also memorize the above contents well.
After the ink dried, Tang Chunming handed it to Li Feng: "Okay, put it in the stable. You have to supervise me in the future, and you are not allowed to take care of them secretly, otherwise... huh, even with you." fine."
Li Feng smiled secretly, and really wanted to know how his brother would punish him, but now it is not easy for a child to ask this question face to face, so he had to take the child out: "Come on, come with me to the stable, and learn from me in the next two days." Be careful, when you learn it, let it go and let you raise it yourself."
"Oh!" The three children cheered and followed them out.

After finishing his work outside, Li Feng entered the room again. Seeing his brother sitting there lazily, he felt a little distressed, and went up to touch his forehead. Tang Chunming turned his head and replied, "It's okay, I'm just being lazy."
"It's fine, I'll catch two more fish later and cook it tonight." Li Feng felt relieved, sat next to his brother and took his hand, because he often does farm work, and his hands are a little bit Roughness, of course, Li Feng didn't dislike it at all, he felt that he could sit for a whole day holding his brother's hand like this and wouldn't get tired of it.
Tang Chunming also played with Li Feng's big palm. His body tends to be thin and weak, and even this palm is one size smaller than Li Feng's. Seeing it makes people jealous. After hearing what he said, he smiled and said, "As long as it doesn't bother you, it's fine. Be careful when you go down the river. If you have something to say to me, I'll listen."
Li Feng felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't show it on his face. He raised his head and glanced at his brother and then looked to the side. Not to mention how serious he was, Tang Chunming couldn't help laughing at what he said: "I'm thinking, tomorrow morning Take some things to Zhenshan Village, I want to settle the matter between you and me first, so it’s better not to lose people from the Tang family."
The words came out, but my heart was nervous, I don't know if my brother agrees or not. Ever since the matchmaker came, he regarded his brother as his own. Of course, there was one crucial step missing, but he never knew how to talk to him. But he told Uncle Shen that he had to think about it. Yes, and Alin didn't know whether he agreed or not, but what Uncle Lizheng said was also reasonable.
On the way back yesterday, the uncle mentioned to him that since he was in love with Brother Ming, he quickly invited the matchmaker to avoid any accidents, especially now that the barren hills have been bought, and when the news comes back to the village, everyone will be happy. Knowing that Li Feng came back with money, I'm afraid that at that time, people including Li's family will have ideas and point fingers by opposing his marriage with Brother Ming.
He himself is not afraid of those people from the Li family, nor will he look at people other than Ming Ge'er, but he is afraid that these people will make trouble in front of Ming Ge'er, Ming Ge'er is pregnant and cannot be disturbed, he doesn't want to Something happened that made him regret it.
So hurry up and formalize the relationship, so that those people can't talk about it. Of course, he also hopes that the relationship between himself and Brother Ming will be more legitimate, so as not to bring Ming Brother's reputation down.
Although the matchmaker can be hired as long as Brother Ming agrees to this matter, and I heard that the relationship between Brother Ming and his stepmother was very cold before, but after he came back, he saw that the relationship between Brother Ming and his younger brother was not Well, the stepmother also stood up and spoke for Brother Ming that day, which shows that the relationship is not as bad as the previous rumors. Moreover, inviting people from the Tang family is also to increase Ming's face and confidence. In the eyes of others, without the presence of his mother's family, this brother will appear to be lacking in confidence and will be looked down upon. Maybe Ming doesn't care. But Li Feng is willing to save face for Brother Ming.
Tang Chunming was very happy these days. Although he didn't know what would happen in the past, but right now he didn't regret choosing this man, and seeing that he was willing to help him win the relationship with his stepmother, how could he disagree? There will always be rumors of things going to the other side. Instead of waiting for his younger brother A Rong to rush over to question him, it is better for Li Feng to go there himself and let his stepmother take a look. But he is not as good as his stepmother, otherwise how could he pick someone like Zhao Dahu.
Seeing Li Feng's nervousness and discomfort, Tang Chunming tugged at his hand, turned his gaze back, and said with a smile: "Okay, help me to see how Amu and Arong are doing now, Amu and Arong It's not easy, even though I wasn't close to me before, it didn't mean that I was treated badly. A Rong even took my brother into his heart. I originally wanted to help my mother and A Rong when I got better. "Tang Chunming told Li Feng his thoughts frankly, and said something beforehand, so as to avoid embarrassment when getting along in the future.
"Hey!" Li Feng immediately grinned silly, brother agreed? ! Agreeing to get married with him, Li Feng was overjoyed. If he hadn't taken his brother's situation into consideration, he would have liked to hug him in his arms. As for helping, of course he would do whatever his brother said, "Listen Brother Ming, I will go there early tomorrow morning."
"Stupid!"
"hehe… "
Tang Chunming: ...
&&&
As Tang Chunming thought, this gossip had already spread to Zhenshan Village. Wang Ying was originally a strong person. Whether Wang Ying married her stepson in another village, no matter it was true or not, those people even speculated wildly. They really described Tang Chunming as obsessed with filial piety. Wang Ying didn't care about his stepson when he went out. If his reputation was really bad, the people in the neighboring village didn't know how to treat the little brother in Zhenshan Village.
Wang Ying is the first two elders, what other people say has nothing to do with him, but this stepson really makes him don't know what to say, let him see the difference before, now it's better, this temper has become more and more serious. It's not like the docile little brother who was at home before. This incident happens one after another. Which family's little brother is so filial like him and is so restless when he is pregnant.
This silly son of his is still thinking about his brother, and after hearing those gossips, he can't wait to go to Pingshan Village to find out what happened. In his opinion, there is nothing wrong with his brother, he must be from Pingshan Village. He bullied his brother, but fortunately, he was persuaded by Wang Ying and told him to stay calm and go to Pingshan Village to see his brother when the school took a break.
He went to the field to pull out the weeds, and took a bunch of pigweeds back. Wang Ying wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was not afraid of the years of hard work. worth it. He was also moved by the agreement made by his son. No matter what, it was his son who proposed it himself. When the time comes, if he really fails the exam and goes home to farm, his son will not complain about his grandmother. Seeing how his son wants to be admired so much, he The mother's heart softened involuntarily. Everything he did was not for this son.
"Ah Wang, are you coming back now?"
"Hey, Ah Rong is going to school, I have to rush to make him breakfast." Wang Ying replied brightly.
"Your boy is still sensible. You are busy outside, and he is not an idler at home." Everyone knows that A Rong does a lot of work at home, but it is not like some people who think they are great after reading a little. , The family work is not willing to touch it.
"Where, Ah Rong is feeling sorry for my grandmother." When others praised her son, Wang Ying was of course full of joy.
"Ah Wang, don't just focus on this one and forget the other. How can you tell that my brother is also left behind, and now you don't take care of these things. It will be too late to take care of it when your reputation is ruined. It's gone." Some people sang the opposite tune and deliberately poked Wang Ying's heart, who didn't know that Ah Rong's father liked the husband in front, and he really didn't treat Wang Ah so well.
"Hmph, let's talk about it after we find out what's going on. Anyway, the child taught by the head of my family is not the kind of person you said. He is in Pingshan Village. No one praises him as a filial person." Wang Ying replied in a bad mood, he was not a fool who would let others say what he said, and his stepson was still a member of the Tang family no matter what, so it was not for others to say whether he was good or bad.
Besides, who dares to say that brother is not filial? Once the account book is released, whoever dares to say such a thing is just talking about it. Whose brother can do better than Ming
"That's right, who didn't say good things before Brother Ming got married? I think there must be some misunderstanding in it. Let's just talk it out." Someone is a peacemaker.
Wang Ying continued to stride home, not with the common knowledge of that broken-mouthed man, this man was still on the ridge, and someone ran towards this side, shouting as he ran: "Ah Wang, go home quickly, your family is here!" There are guests, they came here on a big horse, and they brought a lot of things with them."
Wang Ying has sharp eyes, and the person calling him here is his neighbor, so he hurried up to ask who would come to his house so early in the morning, and his family didn't have any rich relatives.
Not only Wang Ying was puzzled, but even the country people who heard it were also very curious. After Wang Ying left, everyone started discussing again.
"Since when did the Tang family have a relative who rides a horse?"
"Could it be someone who the head of his family knew in the early years?"
"You only said that you are a guest, but you didn't say that you are relatives. Are you really, can't wait to curry favor with Wang Ying?"
"You man, we became a fawner after watching the excitement? After that, we can't talk to your family anymore, otherwise others will say that I am fawning on your family? Oh, I'd better stay away from you when I see you in the future, lest I be said to have taken advantage of your family."
The man was so angry that he disturbed the people working in the field early in the morning. After being ridiculed by others, he stopped talking and worked hard. As for the guests of the Tang family, someone will definitely spread the word after returning.
"He, Wang Ying, also explained that Brother Ming is good. Who doesn't know that Brother Ming won't be with this stepmother after he gets married? Who doesn't know about their family? If he, Wang Ying, treats Brother Ming better, Brother Ming Will you come back to see his mother?"
But no one paid any attention to him. The stepmother and stepson were difficult to get along with, not to mention that the relationship between the two was not the responsibility of Wang Ying alone. Wang Ying did not treat Brother Ming badly when he got married. If the stepmother can treat the children left behind in this way, how many lives in this village will be safe.
Wang Ying hurried home, and sure enough, she saw a tall and majestic horse at the door of the house, surrounded by many children to watch the fun. But Ren was no longer at the door. Apparently his son, A Rong, welcomed him in. Wang Ying was even more anxious. A Rong dared to welcome anyone into the room without asking. This stupid son really made him wonder what to say. Well, in his opinion, what's wrong with his son is that his heart is too soft, he doesn't look like him at all, and he doesn't follow the lead of the family.
