Chapter 77 Three years

Of course, the people in the room did not let Old Man Li hit Feng, but Old Li finally gave Feng a good beating. It was not just because Feng had lost the face of the old Li family, but because Feng had

The farce that was caused spread to Master Qian's house, which made Master Qian very angry. Master Qian was a noble scholar who cherished his reputation most. Xu's daughter married with a love for talents, but Mrs. Feng was making such a fuss,

Those who know will say that Mrs. Feng is unkind, but those who don’t know think that Mr. Qian’s family is greedy for money and wants a lot of betrothal gifts! If the news about the marriage hadn’t been spread earlier, and Li Youzhi came to apologize again and again, Mr. Qian would probably have to withdraw.

This marriage.

Li Sanzhi's family didn't pay much attention to these matters. A few days later, Li Sanzhi personally gave Old Man Li twenty taels of silver, which was regarded as a gift for Li Youzhi's marriage. Ms. Liu tasted the sweetness of doing small business and no longer felt that

Being a businessman is an embarrassing thing, but gradually I can even help shout and hawk the buns. Now, the Li family's buns have become famous in the town, and there are an endless stream of people buying buns every day. Just by selling buns every morning

, the Li family can save more than a dozen taels of silver a month, and the family can eat meat every meal. It can be said that Yuezhen's initial plan to get rich has been completed well.

Yue Zhen originally thought that the business was booming but there were not enough manpower, and Mrs. Liu would no longer object to her going out to sell steamed buns. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Liu quickly hired Aunt Lin at a salary of one tael of silver a month after discussing with Li Sanzhi.

She came here every day to help knead the dough and make the buns, and also hired Hu Zi to help sell the buns in the town for a salary of 300 yuan a month. Labor was extremely cheap in this era, and Aunt Lin's monthly salary was the same as that of a strong man.

It’s hard to earn, not to mention she can still take care of the family. She only helps make bread and make buns every afternoon, which is not a very strenuous job. The Li family clearly wants to take care of the mother and son, so Qian En is naturally

Thank you very much, Hu Zi is also a grateful person. Li Sanzhi pities his young age and only wants him to go with him to sell steamed buns for a few hours every morning, but he is very diligent and gets up early every morning to help Li Sanzhi.

Steaming steamed buns, packing up things to take into town, and helping to make steamed buns when they get home in the afternoon. However, because of this, Li Sanzhi and his wife felt even more pity for him and treated him like their own son. Erlang and the others were willing to see him.

I also took turns taking turns to teach him how to read every night.

Spring has passed and autumn has come, and it is the time of harvest again. Three years have passed, and Yuezhen has grown taller and has grown into a slim little beauty, with a gentle smile on her pretty face. Every time she goes out, she is always surrounded by people.

Some of the naughty or shy boys peeked in. Some of the brave ones secretly gave a small gift, or a cooked egg that they couldn't bear to eat, or some delicious snacks, or a small handicraft carefully made by themselves.

, at first, Yuezhen was shocked, and was often teased by Taohua, but after a lot of time, she didn’t care anymore. Yuezhen felt that the boys who admired her in the village were probably not really that happy with her, they were probably like

Those dream lovers in her previous life, she just felt that she was different. After all, she was good-looking, literate, and always behaved as a courteous and gentle person, which was rare in this farmer's family. Those people

Admiration is admiration, even if there is no response, there is no bad intention. Many people who are a few years older than her still get married and have children, and few even come to propose marriage. In this village, there are not many rules, as long as they don't

There was no talk of flirting or kissing in public. Even if Ms. Liu knew about it, she would just smile knowingly and joke about how beautiful her daughter is. By the time she reaches the age of hairpins, her family's threshold will probably be covered.

Trampled.

Yuezhen's family has been prosperous and prosperous in the past three years, and they are already considered one of the best families in Qingshan Village. Now, the Yuezhen family's house has been replaced by a two-door blue brick house. Li Sanzhi and

Mrs. Liu no longer has to work hard to make steamed buns every day and get up early to sell steamed buns. Last year, at Yuezhen's suggestion, Li Sanzhi went to the town to buy a small shop, and then went to Yazi to buy a two-bedroom apartment. Since the signature was

Li Sanzhi was not worried that the recipe of soup dumplings would be leaked, so he directly taught Aunt Liu, who was a good cook, how to make soup dumplings. The shop was also managed by the two people, and Li Sanzhi only had to wait a few days.

Let's go check the accounts. In fact, there are not many people in town who are interested in the counterfeit soup dumplings business, but the business is always not as good as the Li family's. In addition, the Li family's soup dumplings are famous, so they can only win by price.

With the shop, Yuezhen has added a few more foods, such as cold noodles and jelly in summer, and "chuanchuanxiang" in spring, summer and winter. These fresh foods are always sought after by people in the small town. The business of the shop is booming.

Very, many people are jealous. If it hadn't been for the Liu family's younger brother who has now become a Jinshi official, it is estimated that the Li family would have been hard-pressed to keep this small-looking but lucrative shop.

Compared with the prosperous life of Yuezhen's family, the Li family's old house is in constant trouble. First, the year before last, there was a scandal that Zizhen was resentful and deliberately caused mischief, causing her concubine Fang'er to have a miscarriage.

It's a pretty good marriage. The son of that family is very knowledgeable and has passed the examination as a scholar. The family still has hundreds of acres of land. He is the only son in the family and his appearance can be said to be handsome. Zizhen is extremely satisfied.

The elders in the family were also optimistic about it, and they had already decided on a good date, and they were just waiting for the next spring to leave. But this matter became a big deal, and the mistress of that family felt that Zizhen was vicious, so she just came to cancel the marriage. Zizhen was vicious.

She was well-known and old, so she married in a hurry. I heard that she married a businessman who came here to do business. They didn't even invite a wedding banquet. Li Sanzhi and his wife didn't even get to see their niece-in-law. After this, Fang'er was carried away

In order to equalize his wife, it was also revealed that he used the dowry money to open a rouge shop in the county. Li Dazhi failed in the imperial examination last year. Now he has followed Fang'er to the county, found a school to sit in, and continued after a break.

Thoughts on the scientific examination. The three sons of the eldest son of the eldest family followed Li Dazhi to the county town, leaving only the Yang family to serve their elders in the countryside. Although Yuezhen did not know what happened to the eldest son of the Li family, she understood that the eldest son of the eldest family had

Aunt Fang of Fang is indeed scheming and capable. In the dispute between the wives and concubines of Dafang, the concubines finally won.

After the defeat of the Yang family, she has not been favored by the Feng family. Her life at home is not as good as the Liu family before. Nowadays, most of the housework in the Li family's old house is done by the Yang family and the Zhang family. Little Feng family is becoming more and more lazy.

. However, she was able to flatter Li Youzhi's daughter-in-law, Qian, and got a lot of benefits from Qian. The relationship between the two was good. Qian married with a large dowry. Because of Feng's farce, Qian

The master used the unkind mother-in-law of the Li family as an excuse to directly negotiate with Old Man Li and Li Youzhi. Although Li Youzhi did not separate after they got married, they built a brick house next to the Li family's old house. Li Youzhi came back occasionally.

Qian lived in the new house all the time except for the first month after her marriage. Because she had a bad impression of Feng, her relationship with Feng was not harmonious, and Feng also

She couldn't stand Mrs. Qian's coquettish appearance. During the month they lived together, she not only had to have maids and servants take care of everything, but she also refused to eat anything she disliked. Mrs. Feng couldn't stand it, and at first it hindered Old Man Li and his respect for Mr. Qian.

I'll just say a few words, but Qian is the youngest daughter in the family, and she is loved and loved at home. How can she stand Feng's preaching? She also despises Feng for being shabby and a small family, so the two of them quarrel every day.

, If these two people hadn't both understood the importance of reputation to Li Youzhi and unanimously kept it secret and not made any noise to the public, it is estimated that the dispute between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law of the fifth room of the Li family would have spread out by now. However, there is no such thing as disobedience in this world.

Because of the ventilation wall, many insiders in Qingshan Village were secretly murmuring and joking that Feng had forced the third family member of the Li family, who was almost out of food at the time, to use money as a betrothal gift for their youngest son, and spent a large sum of money to marry such an unfilial person.

His daughter-in-law treated the unfilial daughter-in-law as a treasure, but treated the filial daughter-in-law as a piece of grass. She took the blame herself, but because Li Youzhi was already the master of the judicial system, she did not dare to discuss it openly. Now, Li Youzhi passed the imperial examination last year, and with money

They went to live together in the county.

In the past three years, Mrs. Feng was not jealous of Sanfang's bun shop. Mrs. Yang and Xiao Feng even encouraged her to try the bun shop. But old man Li is very innocent now. The two sons of the Liu family have preceded his son. He was successful in one step. In the future, his son will inevitably need the help of the Liu family. Old man Li has been counting on his children and grandchildren to make progress, to be promoted to official positions, and to honor their ancestors. This will naturally not offend him. What's more, what happened to the Feng family back then After the farce, Mr. Liu really couldn't stand it, so he secretly complained to Mr. Li. Although his words were not harsh, they were threatening. Even though Old Man Li was dissatisfied, he had to exert all his strength to control his wife and not cause trouble for Mrs. Liu. Last year, the youngest son of the Liu family won the Jinshi and became an official in the Hanlin Academy. He also respected his in-laws more and more.

Nowadays, Old Man Li is very close to the grandchildren in the third room of the Li family. In the past three years, he has changed a lot. The old house is noisy and uneasy all day long. Old Man Li often comes to Yuezhen's house to hide and relax. He has come into contact with several grandchildren. , he found that he had been really blind in the past, mistaking fish eyes for pearls. The children in the third room were all smart, diligent, polite, filial to their elders, and well-educated. No wonder everyone in the village praised them. Erlang was fifteen or sixteen years old like Li Youzhi. He was selected to be a scholar at a very young age, and even more so last year. When old man Li talks about his grandson, he refers to his grandson as "how smart my second son is, and how smart my fourth son is." , Sanlang and Liulang.

In fact, Old Man Li's previous approach was indeed biased, but it was also because Mrs. Feng often talked in his ears about his eldest son, how smart his younger son was, how his second son was sweet-talking and filial, how his eldest grandson knew how to read, etc., which made him If you place all your hopes on those people, you will inevitably neglect other children. Now, seeing that several grandchildren who are often praised by Feng are criticized by the Master as "rotten wood cannot be carved" and are spoiled, I begin to understand. The old woman who has been with him for most of his life may not always be true about what he said to him, and he began to take the third house seriously. After getting along with him more, he realized that the third house was good, and he began to sincerely protect it.
