According to her, Wei and Tang Youde were very sweet in the two years before and after giving birth to Tang Shiheng. Although Tang Youde was cold and cold, Wei was very beautiful, he was young and lustful, and he was sincere to her.
But the Wei family seemed to be a little wary of Tang Youde. She never took out many things readily, but the jewelry she took out was all very good. Just by pawning it, she lived a very comfortable life.
But the imperial examination is a very expensive thing.
In other words, for a loser like Tang Youde, the imperial examination was too expensive.
Tang Youde took the exam several times and couldn't even pass the county exam. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he hooked up with Guo Xiancheng and gave him a heavy gift. Then he passed the county exam with his "help", and then passed the county exam with Guo Xian Cheng.
With the help of the county magistrate, he found a candidate who looked very similar to him. It seemed that his identity was exchanged or something. In short, he passed the government examination.
When he had just passed the government examination, Tang Youde was in high spirits and would often eat, drink and engage in tricks with his classmates. It was at that time that she and Tang Youde hooked up.
But when it came to the college examination, the academic officer personally took charge of the examination. Tang Youde really didn't want a relationship at this level, and he couldn't even find a way to give gifts.
Therefore, after working hard for several years, he never passed the college examination and had no reputation as a scholar. With the help of Guo County Cheng, he got the title of Lin Shansheng and received Lin rice and silver.
That's it. It cost hundreds of taels in total. Tang Youde thought that the Wei family was really rich and had inexhaustible money. Unexpectedly, he couldn't pay it out later. Tang Youde changed his face and stayed at Zhu's place every day.
Not going home.
After that, Tang Shijin was born... At that time, Tang Youde still thought that the Wei family had money, and occasionally tried to win over her. In the end, he found that she was really gone, and he planned to drug Brother Lei when he was born.
After the death of the Wei family, Tang Youde remarried the Zhu family in the name of taking care of his young son.
Zhu Honghua simply knew everything and said everything: "I guess your mother may not be guarding against him, but she really doesn't have a few items and wants to save them for emergencies. Anyway, I only handled three items... I
According to Tang Youde, when he was giving gifts or something, if your mother didn't give them to you, he would steal them himself. Of course he said he took them... It seems that the two of them had quarreled about this several times. If you say that your mother's background is unusual
I really don't know, Tang Youde never told me."
Seeing Tang Shijin's dissatisfaction, she continued hurriedly: "But I remember that when I was just pregnant with Brother Rui, I once persuaded Tang Youde to divorce his wife. At that time, Tang Youde said something, he said, what do you know?
Qing Niang can be regarded as a noble girl! Yes, yes, there was another time... She just gave birth to the eldest daughter, and he said she would not take the exam, so I said, it may not be impossible to take care of her more. Could it be that she is my sister?
Are you willing to go out? Then I remember Tang Youde's expression very clearly at that time. It was very complicated and different from before. I think it was at that time that he knew that Wei's family was a little unusual."
Tang Shijin waited for a while and saw that she really didn't know anything more. Then he came out and asked someone to bring the banquet in.
This trip was in vain, and I didn't ask anything of value.
But it doesn't matter. From Tang Youde's attitude, it should be just an empty name. Since it is just an empty name, there are no "future troubles" and no preparation is needed, then it doesn't matter what it is.
After coming out of the prison, Tang Shijin remembered and asked Shen Zhi: "I want to buy a mountain. How can I buy this kind of mountain?"
Shen Zhi said: "Buy a mountain? Sister, that's okay!"
He gave a thumbs up and said without any nonsense, "It's not easy to buy. Just bring the money and I'll find someone for you. You won't suffer any loss if you keep it."
Tang Shijin asked: "You said, I want to buy all the mountains where I live. How many acres are there?"
Seeing that there was no one around, Shen Zhi whispered: "That mountain, I think it's at least four or five hectares, but it doesn't matter. If you come to buy it, just buy two hectares. When the time comes, I'll ask someone to give you the full amount. That's it." If you buy it as wasteland, it only costs one and a half taels per acre, but you have to set aside about five or sixty taels for management, because that area should actually be considered forest land, but as long as it is not cultivated land, it is easy to say, and there may be more. But it won’t exceed one hundred taels, that’s the number anyway.”
In these days, this practice is normal and is not even considered bribery, but only "fees".
Tang Shijin said: "Okay, then after February 2nd, I will come over to take care of it the day after tomorrow."
After discussing it, and thanking Hualang, Tang Shijin got on the carriage and went back.
When he got home, Yan Baiwei was nowhere to be seen. Tang Shijin asked Tao Chengqi: "Brother, where is Yan Baiwei? He hasn't come back yet?"
"I don't know!" Tao Chengqi said. He thought for a while: "Oh, yes, he came back just now and asked me where you were. I said you went to the county seat. He asked me who was driving the car. I said the coachman. !He left."
He told her innocently: "Sister, although we are a family, you don't have to treat him coldly because of me. After all, your brother and I are a generous person."
Tang Shijin was speechless.
Then she came out to find him.
Soon I found her big eyelash essence from the side of the mountain not far away.
Since the last Lantern Festival, there has been a little awkwardness between the two.
Should she add Lingquan water to her cooking? He ate as much as he should, but... something just didn't feel right.
In fact, she really didn't want to coax him, why, she didn't owe him anything... But seeing his expressionless expression, his eyes lowered, and his long eyelashes casting a small shadow like a fan, she felt a little soft-hearted and ran over. Said: "Yan Baiwei! What are you doing here?"
Yan Baiwei said calmly: "It's nothing."
She sat down next to him and found that she was too short, but she didn't want to get up, so she held his arm forcefully and asked him to face her: "Why are you unhappy? It's not because I didn't take you with me to the county town. Aren’t you happy??”
His long eyelashes blinked twice quickly: "Nonsense!"
"Then why are you unhappy?" She raised her face and blew her breath on his eyelashes: "Say it!"
He said with a straight face: "I'm not unhappy."
"I don't believe it," Tang Shijin pressed half of his body on his arm and said with a smile, "I guess some people think that I said I was going to ask Zhu Honghua last time, but I didn't call him when I actually went. snort!"
She made Yan Baiwei's serious expression, "Aren't you guarding against me? Am I the kind of person who talks and talks? I'm not happy! I need to eat a hundred dishes to get better!"
Yan Baiwei was so amused by her that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Seeing her lying on her back with her big eyes blinking and her quirky look, she lost control of her face and laughed and cursed, "What nonsense!"
Tang Shijin smiled, took his hand and dragged him down the mountain: "Go home!"
She casually told him all the things she had done today, and Yan Baiwei said: "Letting Tang Shirui help his soul return home can indeed save a lot of words. Hualang has really helped a lot this time."
While commenting on Zhu's words: "Jin'er, have you ever thought that your mother might have fled here?"
She didn't understand: "What do you mean? Are you here to escape?"
Yan Baiwei said: "I'm not talking about natural disasters, I'm talking about man-made disasters. You see, judging from what Zhu and Tang Youde said, she has several very valuable jewelry on her body, but she doesn't have any silver, and there are not many jewelry, no matter what
When your mother passed away or your grandmother suffered a disaster, you didn’t even think of asking for help. There was no way to ask for help.”
Tang Shijin understood: "You mean, that family might have offended someone or been convicted, and then they came here in a hurry?"
She was a little worried: "That won't be any trouble, right?"
"Probably not," Yan Baiwei said: "If something happened, it should have happened long ago. It has been twenty years, right?"
Tang Shijin also thought about it: "Then don't worry about it. Just let him go!"
