All morning, Aunt Dong's mind was filled with thoughts about what to do if Uncle Dong was discovered to be a fool.
Even if he was sent back to farm, she would be worried just thinking about Uncle Dong Wu's lack of diligence.
And once she comes back to farm, she will be a farmer. From now on, she will no longer be able to think of herself as a future scholar. In this family, she will be just a head shorter than the other sisters-in-law.
Especially my sister-in-law!
Aunt Dong Wu despised the other person's feeling of superiority in her bones the most.
Isn’t it just that my son was admitted to Tongsheng?
She also has two sons, who will definitely be scholars or even masters in the future!
Thinking that her family didn't need to occupy a quota, Aunt Wu Dong twisted her waist and walked away angrily.
The remaining sisters-in-law were still hanging around Old Man and Mrs. Dong.
Old Man Dong was so confused by the comments from his daughters-in-law that he finally had to lower his face and shouted: "What? You all want to take over this family?"
In one word, it successfully intimidated the whole family.
The several daughters-in-law who were about to make a move were instantly frightened, and each one of them shrank back like a quail.
Even the aunt, who always presented herself with a sense of superiority, honestly took a few steps back and gave up the space.
"Two pillars, Mr. Li Zheng said when will they be dug?" It was also at this time that Old Man Dong found out that his house was being watched, and he felt very unhappy, but he still needed to hold it in front of outsiders.
Erzhuzi hadn't left yet, so when he was asked, he hurriedly replied: "I have to leave with Mr. Chai tomorrow."
Listening to this date, Old Man Dong nodded and said, "Okay, let's discuss it when we go back tonight and see who goes."
The age limit for corvee service in the Dayue Dynasty was from fifteen to sixty years old.
Old Man Dong is still less than sixty now, so he must be included in this list of corvee personnel!
In addition to Old Man Dong, the Dong family's Sichun, and the Dong family's grandchildren, there are two others who are over fifteen years old.
In fact, it is a false age, but when the officials nod their heads, they may not care about these details, and they will all be counted as fifteen years old.
Therefore, the total number of people who need to serve in the Dong family is seven. If they are divided half and half, it is estimated that at least three people will be taken away.
"It's getting lively now." Dong Nuan could predict that the house would be very lively tonight. After joking in his mind, he quietly took a few steps closer to Dong Xing.
As a result, when Dongxing saw her coming, he gave her a fierce look, but her whole body hurt and she couldn't reach out to hit anyone, so she turned around and went to play with Dongmiao.
Dong Miao is the eldest daughter of Uncle Dong. She is sixteen years old this year. Her skin is no different from that of other girls in the village. They are all tanned black and yellow from years of hard work. Her appearance is average. Uncle Dong’s mother looks like an ordinary person, and Uncle Dong’s looks are normal.
Yes, Dong Miao really didn’t inherit the advantages of the two of them.
Therefore, if you look very ordinary, even if you take a quick look and throw it into the crowd, you may not be able to find it.
Normally, in a farmyard, a girl of this age, even if she is not married, should still see each other and make a marriage decision.
But there are no winter seedlings yet, and the reason is very simple.
She is waiting.
Dong Miao's biological brother Dong Xu is now a child. Next year will be the provincial examination that is held every three years. Dong Xu has been preparing for so long, and he will definitely fail.
Once Dongxu passes the exam, then Dongmiao will be Xiu Caigong's biological sister, and her wealth will naturally increase, and the people she plans to marry will be of different classes.
Dong Miao was also betting. She bet that if Dong Xu could do well, she would definitely be admitted as a scholar, so that she would gain face and help her find a good husband!
Therefore, even though she is sixteen years old, she still doesn't look at him, and her usual demeanor is quite a bit like that of a great uncle who has a sense of superiority and is very arrogant.
Seeing Dong Xing leaning towards her with a steamed bun, Dong Miao did not hide her disgust, covered her nose and stepped away. After stepping away, she strode forward and quickly distanced herself from Dong Xing.
.
Standing next to her is Dongya, Dongmiao's younger sister. She is only ten years old this year, an age that even cats and dogs find disgusting.
When he saw that Dong Xing was deflated, he was still clapping his hands and saying, "Sister Xing, don't you stink? My sister even dislikes you, stink, stink!"
After Dong Ya finished speaking, she even slapped her nose with her hand, shrank her nose, and ran away with a look of disgust.
Dongxing was so angry at the behavior of the two sisters that she burst into tears. She gritted her teeth bitterly and muttered curses.
After letting the other party vent his anger, Dong Nuan took two steps forward and said with a smile: "Are you disliked? Who wants me to have a brother who studies? If Brother Dongxu becomes a scholar, then Dong Nuan
Sister Miao will also marry into a good family, right? Maybe young masters from wealthy and auspicious families can find matchmakers to match her."
Fugui Jixiang is the name of two squires in the village. It is a coincidence that they have exactly the same names. One is called Dong Fugui and the other is Liao Jixiang.
In winter, the two surnames Liao and Liao each occupy a family!
At the end of the story, Dong Nuan sighed with regret: "What a blessing. Just because I have a brother who studies, I don't know if it's too late to urge Dong Yao to study now."
After Dong Nuan finished speaking, he didn't stay too long, lest Dong Xing get mad and bite people again.
The purpose of Dong Nuan is to keep the fire warm and let Dong Xing tease Dong Er Auntie in the middle. She likes to cause trouble, so it’s best to make things muddy for the whole family.
Once he gets mad, Bao Buqi will quietly go to town and observe in secret.
A straw bag like Uncle Dongwu would probably be exposed in two days.
When the time comes, Second Aunt Dong will definitely tear Uncle Dong's house apart for the benefit of her son.
Of course, just making a fire is not enough.
Dong Nuan said, what’s the point of just having a fight between two people?
What they want is for the whole family to have a big fight, and no one can think of being alone.
Thinking of this, Dong Nuan turned his attention to Dong Ya, the famous wallflower in the family.
Dongya is young, playful and gluttonous. She is different from Dongmiao. She still doesn't understand how much benefit having a brother who studies will bring to her.
If there are two, the benefits will be even greater.
But it doesn't matter, she doesn't understand, Dong Nuan can teach her.
Dong Ya is a very unprincipled little girl in the whole family, the kind of girl who will just follow you if you are given the beans, no matter if you are a flower girl or something else.
Dong Nuan feels that this is such a useful little cute thing, and it would be a waste not to use it.
Uncle Dong’s family has three sons. The eldest son, Dong Xu, has already gone to school. The second son, Dong Xing, is in the middle. It is said that Uncle Dong’s mother had difficulty in giving birth to him, so she doesn’t like this son very much, so naturally she doesn’t like him.
Attention, he himself gave up on himself, had no intention of studying, and worked hard every day.
Uncle Dong also has a younger son, Dongchang, who is the same age as Dong Nuan. He has a smart mind, but he just doesn't follow the right path.
But it doesn't matter, it's enough to have such a person who can be used. Dongnuan doesn't care what kind of person he is.
Moreover, if this person is promoted, if he is really a loser like Uncle Dong Wu, Dong’s family has suffered a loss once, and Dong Chang has been competing for jobs and struggling at home, how can the other families not keep an eye on him?
Especially Uncle Dong Wu, can he be willing to do so?
By then, the house will be very lively.
Thinking of these, Dong Nuan faced the morning light, squinted his eyes and smiled.
