Wen Family Has a Wife

Chen Ningya was very pleased when she heard it, "My son has grown up, this idea is more correct than mine, it works! Since you don't feel sorry for those pearls, then mother will have the cheek to ask you for some."

"Take it, take it, take it, you can have it in any color you want." Wen Yuanjing asked Weichun to fetch the pearls, and explained: "Originally there were two big boxes, but I kept a small box beside me. , and the others were sent back to the capital."

It is estimated that there are hundreds of pieces in this small half box.

Chen Ningya twitched the corners of her mouth, played with two of them casually, and asked Weichun to take a few kits and pack them separately.

About an hour later, Mrs. Ye and others went back and forth, one by one carrying chickens and ducks or fish and shrimp, and Zheng Cui and Lan Si came with a sheep on their shoulders.

The servants of Wen's family built a fire around the open space at the side door of the yard, and some other people were busy with salting meat. Everyone was chatting and laughing, which was very lively.

Seeing that they couldn't finish eating so many things, Chen Ningya simply asked Mrs. Ye to bring all the children from the family, and it was lively.

After many years, Chen Ningya was shocked when she saw Ye's two children, "These two children grow up really fast!"

Ye Shi pursed her lips and snickered, "Don't even think that you are all grandmothers now, they must all be grown up."

Ye's eldest daughter is called Sun Baoer. The ten-year-old girl looks at her bright eyes and white teeth, she is sensible and well-behaved. Like little adults.

Ye's youngest son is called Sun Yao, who is also eight years old now, and seems to be studying.

Chen Ningya asked casually: "Is this kid also studying in the village school?"

Mrs. Ye nodded, looking at her son with bright eyes, "That's not it! The village school is so convenient, so I naturally let him go. The husband said that the child has some wisdom roots, and if he studies hard, he should be able to come back with a good grade.

For several generations, our family is all muddy legs. If we can produce a scholar, we can wake up with a smile even in our dreams! "

Chen Ningya nodded in understanding, said some words of encouragement to the children playing in the yard, and then asked Lan Ling to fetch those kits, stuffed them into the arms of Ye Shi and the others one by one, and said: "This is a bead I brought from Lingnan. It's not a good thing. It's rare. Take it back and see if you can do anything."

Since every household in the village had children studying, Chen Ningya would not be stingy, and gave each of those children a set of the Four Treasures of the Study, which made the children very happy.

Even Ye and the others were so happy that they could see their teeth but not their eyes.

While talking, the chicken, duck and fish were all roasted, but the kaoquan lamb took a little longer, so it might have to be saved for dinner at night.

In order to wait for the whole lamb to be roasted, all the women and children stayed at Wen's house until midnight before going back.

Zheng Cui entered the house and saw that the candles in the room were still on, so she opened the door and entered.

Tao Deren turned over and asked, "Why is it so late?"

Zheng Cui didn't hide from her, and told her about the sheep slaughter, "Boss, I'm a big spender today, and I slaughtered our sheep all at once, will you be angry with me?"

Tao Deren just frowned, and said: "You are always serving this sheep, even if you give the sheep away, I don't mind, but I didn't expect you to be so generous."

After all, a sheep is worth a lot of money. They all came here through hard work, and they have survived for many years. He has long been accustomed to Zheng Cui's frugality, and he still can't understand it when he suddenly hears this.

Zheng Cui sneered and said: "It's not that I'm not generous, it's just that I can't be generous, hey! Our family can have what it is today, but it's not all dependent on Wen's family. I feel grateful for Aning's kindness in my heart, but I couldn't repay her in the past. , I happen to have a chance today, if I miss it, I don’t know when I will be able to show one or two in the future.

I know that people may not see this in their eyes, but it is my wish anyway, as long as I feel comfortable in my heart. "

That means her stingy mother-in-law is gone, otherwise she would have skinned her alive if she knew she had slaughtered a sheep for this reason!

Seeing her, Tao Deren remembered the bad things from the past,

He hurriedly comforted: "It's all over! By the way, what are you carrying in this bag?"

Zheng Cui looked down, and hurriedly put the things on the table carefully, "It was given by Aning, who said it was beads from Lingnan, and a set of the Four Treasures of the Study for our son. All the children who passed away today have it. He failed to study, and Aning did not leave him, so I brought him back."

As she spoke, Zheng Cui opened the bag and took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from inside.

Tao Deren came over to take a look, and took a breath, "These things are not cheap!"

Don't ask him how he knows, poor people are afraid of poverty, and in order to support their son's education, they have to pick up money, and save money if they can. He has seen these things in the study before, and the best ones there cost more than ten taels of silver. It's not as good as the ones in front of me. The four treasures of the study alone are enough to offset the sheep's money.

Zheng Cui was stunned for a moment, then quickly opened the bag and poured out colorful little pearls.

"This is..." Zheng Cui said in surprise.

Tao Deren picked it up and looked at it carefully, then said uncertainly, "Pearl?"

"How can there be such a beautiful pearl! Isn't the pearl white?" Zheng Cui was confused.

The couple looked at each other, but no one could tell why. When Tao Lin came back, the couple hurriedly dragged him into the room for questioning.

Tao Lin was also surprised when he saw the pearl, and after looking at it for a long time, he said, "It should be a pearl, but I'm not sure, why don't I take it to the county seat tomorrow and ask?"

Zheng Cui thought for a while, then refused, "Forget it, no matter what it is, it must be valuable, I just keep it well, by the way, you take this set of four treasures of the study home, it's your Auntie Wen's kindness, go back and study hard."

Tao Lin was overjoyed to get the Four Treasures of the Study, thanked his parents solemnly, and withdrew.

When he walked into the yard, he looked up at the Wen family halfway up the mountain, remembering what his grandmother said before he passed away, a self-deprecating chuckle curled up on the corner of his mouth, and he murmured: "Grandma, if you know what the Wen family looks like now, would you still want to see me?" Do you have Xiao Xiao's original thoughts? It's ridiculous that I have memorized every word you said so seriously, now it seems that it is simply absurd!"

After speaking, he shook his head, sighed, and turned back to the room.

Chen Ningya and Wen Yuanjing only lived in Fushan Village for four days before receiving news from Wen Yuanhong.

The mother and daughter rushed back immediately, and as soon as they entered the yard, Chen Ningya couldn't wait to ask Shumo, "Where is your second master?"

Shumo had already made preparations, and took Chen Ningya into the carriage, "Ma'am, the second master said that as soon as you come back, I will let the little one take you there. They stay in the remote mountains, and they have only bought one in the past half a year." The mountain road is barely passable for horse-drawn carriages, and the mountain road is bumpy, so please bear with me for a while, let’s set off now, you sit still.”
