Due to Li Feng's absence, Tang Chunming's distribution of the seeds in the spring was much more troublesome. Later, he simply entrusted them to Mr. He, who put the seeds into the warehouse one step ahead. After one winter, all the food in the distillery had been used up, so Lizheng and others closed the distillery, and opened it again during the autumn harvest, so Zhang Xiu and the others were also free. Tang Chunming could also have more people here. lend a hand.
Fortunately, things have been done last year, but this year is just a repetition or a slight expansion on the basis of last year, and it can always be straightened out slowly.
The child of Wang Mo’s family was the first to fall to the ground. He was a little brother. Zhang Changming, who rushed back to watch over him, hugged the newly born child with a red and wrinkled face, and his parents were not unhappy. The elder brother is considered complete, and it is not the time when the family cannot afford to support the younger brother.
Tang Chunming only went to see Wang Mo after giving birth. Seeing Zhang Xiu gesturing to him as a little brother, Tang Chunming really wanted Dashan to take back this brother who was crazy about children, eh , close the door and work hard for a period of time, trying to make Zhang Xiu realize this wish, and he can calm down a bit, so as not to stare at his stomach all day long.
When Zhang Xiu was talking excitedly, she suddenly stopped and shuddered, looking at the sky outside, could it be that the spring is cold
Zhang Xiu rubbed her arms and changed the subject: "Do you think there will be another scholar in our village this year? The two boys in our family can't count on this year and next year. I don't know if we can wait another three years to qualify for the scientific examination. "When the child enters school, he naturally hopes to have the opportunity to change the lintel. Now the family does not lack this money. Although there is a scholar with bad conduct like Zhao Laosan, for the people of this era, scholars are still is respected.
"I think Da Mao and Er Mao are good, especially Da Mao, who is becoming more and more stable now. The teachers in the school often praise him. You just wait to become a scholar mother in three years, haha." Tang Chunming laughed. The teacher Lizheng hired is good, not a pedantic person, and he is patient enough to teach the children in the village. Nowadays, more and more families send their children to schools. Lizheng is discussing with the elders in the village whether he should take it or not. Expand the scale of the school and invite one more teacher, after all, one more teacher can't discipline.
"Brother Ming, don't praise him. I don't know how heavy his bones are. How many words did he follow you to read? That's why he looks better than other boys in the school. Otherwise, which round will he get rejected?" The master praised it." Zhang Xiu said modestly, but the smile between his brows and eyes still revealed his mood, and his son will always be happy if he has a future.
"Don't forget that Da Mao and Er Mao are still practicing martial arts. It will be good to practice martial arts in the future. Ah Feng can help me a little bit in this regard." Tang Chunming also saw that the two children were actually trained by Ah Feng. Persisted all the time, that is, Ah Feng no longer has two people and is not lazy, especially Ermao is still young and can have such perseverance, in the future he will not worry about not having people to vote for him.
Zhang Xiuyi thought so, no matter what, the two sons are more promising than their parents. Of course, he has never disliked Dashan, and it is his blessing to marry such a man.

In the Zhao family, the third uncle was originally disappointed because Zhao Laosan did not come back for the new year, but when the news of the addition of Enke came, his spirit gradually improved. But the people of the Zhao family should do whatever they want. They don’t think there’s anything wrong with following the village, not to mention earning money now, and because there are more and more people studying now, it’s not hopeless that they will get ahead in the exam in the end. Besides, Li Feng or Rong Dangjia, which one is not more powerful than Zhao Laosan
However, if the third uncle is looking forward to it again, it will wait until the autumn examination in autumn. Now it is the time of the county examination. However, the college examination is not limited to the government examination, so one must be able to win the title of Tongsheng, just like the Tang family's father Tang.
When it came time to take the exam, instead of going to the county, Wang Ying asked her mother-in-law to take care of her son's daily life. Did other people see that Tang Chunming was not clear, but he could see that the stepmother was getting nervous, maybe he was putting pressure on A Rong in the past? Of course, Tang Chunming would never say a word in front of his stepmother, lest the stepmother would become angry from embarrassment.
However, in private, Tang Chunming asked Mr. He early in the morning, and Mr. He commented on A Rong's homework. Regarding this imperial examination, Mr. He always said: "It is not difficult to get admitted to Tongsheng. The final exam, work hard." No matter how hard you look at the examiner's eyes, you won't have a chance to squeeze in." So Tang Chunming automatically understood that the students in this exam are safe, and if you are lucky, you can catch the last bus of the scholar. Such a result is not easy for Ah Rong's age. You must know that Zhao Laosan was born at a similar age at the beginning, but he was promoted as a child prodigy by the village, and he even said that Wenqu star descended to earth.
The members of the Li family also have high expectations for Li Chengzu and Li Chengzong. Although the Li family has already produced Li Feng as a general, wouldn't it be more complementary if they could produce another literati. They now also know that everything in the village needs to be maintained by people in the officialdom, and only when the village itself becomes stronger is the right way.
In the anticipation of everyone, news came from the county that the three boys had passed the county test, and the next step was the government test. Earlier, Teng Yu sent a message that once the three of them needed to go to the state capital, he would take care of the matter. They would find a house for them in Dingzhou capital and someone would take care of it, so that the two families would not have to worry. Teng Yu helped find the rented house.
The family also knew the rankings of the Sanren County Examination. Tang Chunming looked at it, and it was true that Zhao Chengzu ranked the highest, ranking 27th. Zhao Chengzong and Tang Chunrong were very close in rankings. It can be seen from this that Tang Chunrong has worked hard after going to the county. Li Zheng didn't say anything when he saw that his second boy was caught up by Tang Chunrong, who came after him. He knew Tang Chunming's younger brother's situation in school from his two sons early in the morning, and he was quite optimistic about his future.

Chen Meme was busy at home. Elder He and his stepmother looked at the two children. Tang Chunming, accompanied by Zhang Xiu, took a walk in the back mountain. Tang Chunming asked when they could pick it this year, and could they still pick it like last year? It turned out that they had been thinking about this rare opportunity to earn money throughout the year. They earned a lot last year, but they earned several taels of silver from Tang Chunming, which is considered a very large income for the children.
"It's the same as last year. You can pick it by yourself, but it will take a while, don't worry." Tang Chunming told them with a smile, and the children broke up after being convinced.
Zhang Xiu joked: "If it was me, I would have to compete with these children for this opportunity to make money, but who would have thought of using this wild fruit to make money." Yes, it was Tang Chunming's previous life in the countryside. Later, after he paid attention to pollution-free food and health preservation, he continued to develop those wild vegetables and wild fruits, like the wild fruits in the mountains when he was a child, didn't he go in and pick them and eat them.
Of course, his biggest cheating tool is the existence of space, so that he can water the fruit with better taste and have the opportunity to make a lot of money.
Xiaohua followed her master, and even the bugs that sprang out were killed by its claws on the ground.
It was actually quite tiring to walk all this way with a full stomach. Tang Chunming stopped and supported a nearby tree to rest, and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although it was hard work, he dared not leave. Mr. He followed him I mentioned the precautions for giving birth to twins, so in order to save some pain in the end, I had to grit my teeth and persevere, and then I beat the bastard Li Feng in my heart every day, and I felt much more refreshed after beating him up.
"Huh? There are people coming from the village, but they don't look like the carriages that went to your house." Zhang Xiu pointed to the carriages that drove up on the trail leading to the outside of the village. Everyone knew the carriages that often came. If you see it from a distance, you will know which one you are looking for, but this one has never been seen before. If Rong Yue came over instead, there would not only be more than one carriage, but also guards on horseback, the momentum would be even greater.
Tang Chunming also looked down at the road below. In the eyes of the two, the carriage passed by Tang Chunming's house and continued on its way to the village, and finally stopped at the door of Mrs. Zhao's house.
Zhang Xiu asked in surprise: "Could it be that Zhao Laosan came back?" The whole village knows that Zhao Laosan did not return to Pingshan Village during the Chinese New Year. His behavior made Zhao Laomo and third uncle who regarded him as a treasure sad.
Tang Chunming was also a bit playful: "This person probably won't miss this year's autumn test. This is a good opportunity for him to make a name for himself. I'm afraid the two people in the village are looking forward to this opportunity," he tiptoed towards the Looking in the direction, he vaguely saw more than one person walking out of the carriage, "If he comes back, Wang Chunhua won't be able to press on Old Madam Zhao's head."
These words made both of them burst into laughter. No one in the village knew how Wang Chunhua took care of Mrs. Zhao. The Zhao family really had a turn of events.
Although they mentioned it, neither of them took Zhao Laosan seriously. Even if he came back, he would not change much about the current situation in Pingshan Village. The county magistrate has been to Pingshan Village to see the winery. Will it be more powerful than the county magistrate? Tang Chunming now feels that his backing is even more powerful. On the left is his own man Li Feng, and on the right are Rong Yue and Zhao Wang. Don't be too complacent. For such a small character like Zhao Laosan, he can make him have no future with just a flick of his little finger. Alright, Tang Chunming thought complacently in his heart, looking completely complacent. He also felt that his heart had been softened, and he didn't take any action to deal with him.
Tang Chunming didn't pay special attention to Zhao Laosan's situation in the next two days, but he still learned something from others. It really was him who came back, and there was a brother and his servants with him. The situation and attire he gets along with are obviously close, and this has been brought into the house. Could it be that Zhao Laosan found another marriage partner for himself outside
However, except for getting off the carriage at the door and being seen by the neighbors when I came back that day, no news came out. It is said that the gate of Zhao's house was closed tightly, and even the old mother Zhao's yelling and Wang Chunhua's murmurs were often heard in the past. No sound could be heard, and there was no movement from the third uncle of the Zhao family. Tang Chunming was a little surprised when he heard it. How could there be no movement at all? Even Wang Chunhua is not that quiet and obedient person.
Of course, Tang Chunming didn't think about deliberately asking about anything, just like what he thought, what threat could Zhao Laosan pose to him now? Not worth caring about.
He didn't think about it, but a letter sent by Teng Yu immediately solved his confusion. Tang Chunming's jaw dropped when he saw what was written in the letter. Zhao Laosan, he... actually gave someone Become a brother-in-law? !
Pfft...haha...
After reading what was written in the letter, Tang Chunming couldn't help laughing again, his stomach cramped from laughing, and he lay down on the kang and rubbed his stomach. While rubbing his mother's belly smoothly, there are his two little brothers in it, the more he thinks about it, the happier he is.
"What's the matter? Laughing like this?" Wang Ying stared at his stepson, not knowing the severity.
"Alas," Tang Chunming sat up with the help of his stepmother, laughed until tears came out, and said with a smile while wiping his eyes: "Teng Yu told me in the letter that he knew about Zhao Laosan's situation and said that Zhao Laosan San went to Dingzhou Mansion as a married man and became a family brother-in-law. Oh, what do you think Zhao Laomao and San Shugong will look like when they find out about this? No, I want to laugh, I can't stop laughing .”
Chen Momo was dumbfounded, Wang Ying stared straight, and even He Lao felt a little unbelievable. In his opinion, although Zhao Laosan's character is questionable, he can be regarded as a person who is good at exploiting the environment in which he grew up. Otherwise, how could we coax grandma and third uncle, the original patriarchs, to devote themselves to him. If he had been made the brother-in-law of the county chief, there would be no way out if he developed smoothly, but such a The person actually left the family and became a brother-in-law for someone? !
Wang Ying was the quickest to react, and asked, "What kind of family did he become the son-in-law for? He is already at this level, so he won't find a family with ordinary conditions." He, an outsider, can see Zhao Lao Sanji With a selfish temperament and a great face, he will not do things that are not beneficial.
"Yes, it's all written in the letter." Tang Chunming raised the letter in his hand and suppressed a smile, telling what Teng Yu wrote.
This is also when Teng Yu gradually opened up his acquaintance with a wide range of people in Dingzhou Mansion. It was only by chance that he learned that there was a family in Dingzhou Mansion. Like his Teng family, they were from merchants, but their children were not prosperous. Well, the head of the family has only one younger brother under his knees, so the reputation of recruiting a son-in-law has already spread in that circle.
That family has also accumulated a lot of property, and if there is no accident after the owner of the family, the family property will fall under the name of the brother-in-law, so it is not impossible to come up with the idea of recruiting a brother-in-law, and it is not worthy of being rumored by others, but even Teng Yu, who has not been around for a long time, has heard of it, so it can be seen that he is not an ordinary family or an ordinary boy. Someone with good intentions told the rumors in the market to Teng Yu, a new businessman who seems to have a strong background. It is said that although this young man is not ugly, he has a peculiar habit, that is, he likes to find beautiful waiters.
It stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with such a hobby, and it is even beneficial to the man. These little waiters who wait close to him will often end up as bed warmers for the man in charge. Didn't the door-to-door brother-in-law fall into Fule's nest? But just like this, this brother-in-law has never been recruited, and many people who wanted to come to him were beaten out by this family.
Gradually, there are rumors that this little brother really loves these beautiful servants, just like some men don't like enchanting men and only like strong men with their own stature, there are all kinds of rumors in the market, All kinds of strange things from the three teachings and nine streams are not shocking to these business people. It is not an unheard anecdote that a little brother loves the same beautiful little brother, but those men who want to catch their masters and servants can't do it. up.
When Teng Yu first heard about it, he just laughed it off and didn't take it seriously, and the family around him would not deal with his business. No matter how strange his behavior was, as long as he didn't find himself, he had the right to listen to it as a joke. But it didn't take long before he heard that this little brother had already recruited a brother-in-law, and he was also a man of fame. Those merchants who often met in private were still feeling sorry in front of Teng Yu, saying that such a scholar It's a pity, I won't be deceived, otherwise a good scholar would fall to the point of being a door-to-door brother-in-law, and he is such a brother-in-law with a peculiar personality.
You must know that the people who came to the door to get married before were either the homeless boys on the street or the bastards who were not valued by the merchants. The serious people felt that such a name was embarrassing. These merchants are also gossips, and they actually inquired about the origin of the scholar clearly. They all said that it is no wonder that they will become the son-in-law of the family. One is a down-and-out scholar, and the other is from a foreign country. Crash in and be at the mercy of others.
And Teng Yu never expected that this matter would have a relationship with Pingshan Village. The scholar who was regarded as a joke by everyone would be the scholar Zhao Pingchuan from Pingshan Village, who used to be Tang Chunming's husband's uncle. But Teng Yu also knew that Tang Chunming had a bad relationship with his original husband's family, otherwise, how could he even give birth to a child with the surname of Li Feng, so after learning about this, he wrote to Tang Chunming and told him as a joke , let him smile too.
Teng Yu's goal was indeed achieved. Tang Chunming couldn't stop laughing, but he didn't quite understand the vague description of that brother in Teng Yu's letter, but it could be seen that there might be some problems with that brother. But Zhao Laosan was probably kept in the dark and didn't know.
&&&
After receiving the letter, Tang Chunming told his family and did not spread it out. To be honest, it was alright for him to read jokes, but he couldn't do things that would make things worse when others had nothing to do with his interests. So, Even Zhang Xiu and the others don't know the specific situation of Zhao Laosan.
However, Zhang Xiu didn't know what was going on in Dingzhou Mansion, but the Zhao family, with the departure of Zhao Laosan, opened the door of Zhao's house again, and Wang Chunhua became active among the villagers of Pingshan Village again. Brother's story was widely publicized, and Zhang Xiu naturally copied it to Tang Chunming after hearing it.
Zhang Xiu said: "You didn't see Wang Chunhua's excitement, saying that Zhao Laosan's newly married brother respects him so much, and the hands on his head are all made of gold. It's real gold, not gilt, and he's wearing silk and satin, all of which are honored by his younger brother, not only these, but also a lot of silver. In the village, he can be praised as a A flower, even Zhao Laosan became a good one in his mouth, saying that the younger brother belongs to a wealthy family in the city, not the county town of Anping County, but the capital city of Dingzhou, and he will have to take care of him in the future His family's Adong's, that said, it seems that his son is going to Fucheng to make a fortune soon, tsk tsk, that face is really..." Zhang Xiu shook his head while talking.
Chen Meme now leaves early and returns late, so she doesn't know the news in the village as quickly as Zhang Xiu. He was there when he read the letter that day and knew what Brother Ming was joking about, but now the news in the village seems to be It's a bit different. It didn't say that Zhao Laosan was the son-in-law of others. Could it be that the Zhao family or Wang Chunhua didn't know about it? Or did you know it and just kept it from the villagers
Tang Chunming was also taken aback when he heard this, and Wang Ying simply ran out of the house. What kind of people are these people? There are probably not many people who can see Wang Chunhua's clothes, but there are many people with money in their hands. This is also worthy of Wang Chunhua's advocacy everywhere.
"Then what about the rest of the Zhao family? What's the reaction between Mrs. Zhao and Third Uncle?" Tang Chunming asked after thinking about it.
"By the way, I didn't even think about it unless you said it. Hu Langzhong went to Zhao's house again. I heard that the third uncle's condition is very bad. It sounds like he can't get out of bed at all and is paralyzed. Mrs. Zhao seems to be I didn't hear anything, Zhao Laosan didn't even see him jumping out when he came back, this Zhao family is still in the hands of Wang Chunhua, it doesn't sound right." Zhang Xiu could see something was wrong while talking, but He didn't try to guess the truth, but Zhao Laosan got married outside without his parents' orders, which was enough for the villagers to talk about, and of course some people sympathized in private, saying that they were afraid Saying it ahead of time would ruin his good deed, so he might as well kill it first and play it later.
Paralyzed? Tang Chunming immediately understood that it must be that the third uncle suffered a stroke from the stimulation. For the third uncle, the stimulation was really great, and it was fine if he didn't directly kill him. I don't know what to do, maybe Zhao Laosan and that brother have other ways to deal with him so that he can't speak, isn't it like Wang Chunhua, who is coaxed by that brother with money now.
As soon as Tang Chunming rolled his eyes, he told Zhang Xiu the truth. As a result, Zhang Xiu almost jumped up when he heard it, and then slapped his thigh like Tang Chunming laughed so hard that day that he couldn't stop laughing. While wiping away tears, he said: "No wonder Wang Chunhua is so happy. Not only is there money to take, but the Zhao family's land and house will be his in the future, but no one will rob him again. With such a result, there is still money to be taken, ouch, I am so ridiculous... "
Tang Chunming also admired Wang Chunhua very much, and he couldn't wait to publicize it in the village, for fear that others would not find out what was wrong inside, and it looked like other people's houses had to be covered up desperately, just like the third uncle's house, the third uncle was paralyzed, so His family must know what's going on, but they haven't seen his family come out to talk about it. They must feel that such a person in the Zhao family is extremely embarrassing. They come to serve.
&&&
They are making fun of Mrs. Zhao here, and at the Zhao family over there, Mrs. Zhao ran to the third uncle when Wang Chunhua was not at home, grabbed the third uncle's hand like grabbing a life-saving straw, and said heartbrokenly: "Third uncle Old man, please persuade the third child to turn around, how could he be so cruel, how could he have forgotten that it was my mother who pulled him up with shit and piss, how could he go to the county to take the exam without me , but how can he do this now... this... isn't this digging my heart? I might as well die, how can the third child be so cruel, how can I, my mother, feel sorry for him, ah—"
The third uncle's mouth was crooked, his eyes were crooked, saliva flowed out uncontrollably, the corner of the quilt got wet quickly, he was breathing loudly, his hands were trembling constantly, and he spoke inarticulately. Said: "... three... Pingchuan..." Except for Zhao Laosan's name, no one could understand what he said.
The third uncle's youngest son couldn't bear to pull Laoma Zhao away, and scolded: "Enough, what else do you want my dad to do? Can he still get up now? It's not enough to be hurt by your family." I think this result is good, and it is the most satisfying. If it weren't for the fear that those of us with the surname Zhao will be implicated, I would like to go to the village to tell everyone about the good deeds that Zhao Laosan has done. Are you satisfied now, three Two sons, one is lame and useless, one was tricked to death by you, and the other simply invited himself out of the clan, haha..." They couldn't bear to ridicule this family for a long time, but now they finally have a chance, even if they see Dad His old man condemned him angrily with his eyes in such a situation, but he still said this, just such a thing that is not a thing, let everyone treat it as a treasure, what good did it bring them in the end
"Ah—" Mrs. Zhao was so stimulated that she sat back and slumped on the bed and cried heart-rendingly. The noise had long since become hoarse. "What evil did I do, I might as well just hit my head and die here."
"If you want to die at home, or die in front of Zhao Laosan, maybe he can shed a few tears. What is it to die in my house?" The third uncle's youngest son dragged him out angrily, making him Some people helped him to send Mrs. Zhao to his home.
