Chapter 74 Request
Stir-fried a green vegetable again. The remaining roe deer's leg had long been used by Cui Wei to cook soup. She opened the lid and saw the oil beads in the pot. Cui Wei scratched the skinned loofah and cut it in with a knife, and then covered the pot again. She has quick hands and feet, and the loofah cooks quickly, and the meal has been finished in less than a quarter of an hour. Several people outside couldn't stand the smell of the smell just now. At this time, as soon as they saw Cui Wei bring out the plate, they didn't need her instructions one by one. They took chopsticks, took the chopsticks, washed the dishes, and even Cui Shifu also brought out the dishes. Several people sat in the yard, with the moonlight It's no worse than in the house just now.
Cui Shifu is the first time he feels happy in recent days. There are children and naive children around him. It is rare to relax and eat and drink with such children. It is rare to go into the house and scoop out some wine. The deer meat was spicy and delicious, and it was the best to use it with wine. Several children were sweating profusely and wanted to taste Cui Shifu's wine. Under the stars, several people laughed.
The people who used to eat sweet food in the room now smell the fragrance outside the courtyard, and they can't sit still. Wang threw away the sweet roe deer meat in her hand, smelled the fragrance of vegetables outside, and couldn't help sucking her nose. Unfortunately, she knew that she had offended Cui Wei today and it was not easy to go out, and she didn't know how depressed she was.
After eating in a hurry, Cui Shicai stood up first. Lin and the reluctant Liu got into the room and coaxed Yang for a while. When they came out again, although Yang's expression was a little uncomfortable, he finally showed his face. Cui Shicai and others were ready to go back. Yang stood at the door to see him off and saw a happy Personally, I was a little confused. When Cui Shicai saw her look, he immediately smiled and said, "The food cooked by the fourth girl is delicious. No wonder Lao 2 secretly came here to eat and put us away." As soon as he said this, it was a relief for Cui Shifu and his wife, and Yang's expression was also better. When Cui Shifu saw that it was the eldest brother talking, he was silent for a moment and did not open his mouth, which left him a little face. Cui Shicai praised Cui Wei and waited for his children and grandchildren who could not move their feet to go back. After walking so many people in the room, they suddenly became deserted.
While arranging for the Wang family to clean up the house, he also arranged where the Wang family will live today. The Cui family is not big, so there are only a few rooms, but the Wang family lives in the next village and has come here today, but Luo's daughter did not come. She wants to stay in the house to take care of the house. With I won't go back.
Nie Qiuwen and others almost turned over their bellies one by one, and the soup on the table was poured out to soak the rice. It was very clean. Cui Jingping straightened his stomach and asked the two to help collect the dishes and chopsticks. Several people did not pay attention to the Yang family, which made her a little more and more embarrassed. Cui Wei cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks by herself. Cui Jingping sent her two friends, and Cui Shifu and his wife were left in the yard. Yang Shi saw her husband's appearance for the first time, and she was also a little embarrassed. At this time, when no one was there, she wanted to make amends with him. Unexpectedly, Cui Shifu The color was crisscrossed, and I couldn't speak for a long time.
The Wang family in the room was full and sat on the stool and chatted. Cui Wei washed the dishes she and others ate, and didn't care about the pile piled up in the kitchen. She boiled some water and took a shower first, leaving some Cui Jingping's, so she didn't care of it. When she came out of the shower, she didn't care when she saw the people in the hall. When she was about to go back to the room by herself, she was suddenly stopped by Cui Jingzhong, who was waiting in the room.
"Little sister, wait a minute." Cui Wei was stunned, and her hair was still a little wet. When she saw that the person who called her was Cui Jingzhong, she was really surprised. Usually, Cui Jingzhong has a different status in the Cui family. He has been studying all year round, but Yang's pride. If Yang's heart is the youngest son Cui Jingping, what she cares most about is her second son Cui Jingzhong. Usually, this second brother is a little cold to Cui Wei. As soon as he finished reading the book, he got into the room by himself. He really turned a deaf ear to the things outside the window and only read the books of the sages. He didn't care about the situation at home. Except for eating, he had not called Cui Wei alone. At this time, He said, "Second brother, what's the matter?"
Cui Jingzhong nodded. He is 16 years old, and there are some green shadows under his lips. He has been studying and working all year round, which makes his face a little pale, his expression is cold, and his figure is thin. He lowered his head when talking to others, with arrogance between his eyebrows. Somehow, Cui Wei suddenly thought of the Nie Dalang, who was praised by Nie Qiuwen's brother is a scholar like his second brother Cui Jingzhong. According to the villagers, Nie Qiuran is still a very good book. He has also seen it once, which is different from the second brother Cui Jingzhong's thin and thin wind. Although Nie Qiuran is not very strong, she is at least taller than Cui Jingzhong. Much more, he is a few years younger than Cui Jingzhong. Although he is also gentle when talking to people, even if he is arrogant, he will not float on the surface. At that time, although Nie Dalang abducted his brother home and was beaten, although Cui Wei's impression of him is not very good, it is not bad, but compared with Cui, who In terms of Jingzhong, Nie Dalang's image is undoubtedly much more vivid.
"I heard from my mother today that you went to Master Lin's house in town to pick up some work." Cui Jingzhong opened his mouth slowly with a serious expression, and then said, "Do you know who Mr. Lin is?"
This is a little novel. Cui Jingzhong almost never devoted himself to reading his own books for all the miscellaneous things in the housekeeper. Now he cares about the work he took. Cui Wei couldn't help showing a slight smile on the corners of her mouth. She narrowed her eyes slightly, and her expression was a little calm. She simply pulled the stool and sat down. She nodded to Cui Jingzhong: That's what I said. I heard from the Lin family that Master Lin once served as the magistrate of Lin'an Mansion, and he has a big identity!"
"That's more than that!" Hearing his sister talking about Master Lin's identity, Cui Jingzhong's expression suddenly cheered up, and a trace of excitement unique to the young man was added to his face. Compared with his cold appearance just now, he is now like a living person. While straightening his body, he said, "Master Lin was a flower exploration when Emperor Tianyuan was 15 years old. After that, he served in Hanlin Academy for three years before he was finally sent out. Master Lin is a real student of the emperor, and Lin'an City is not an ordinary place. The more Cui Jingzhong said, the more excited he was. Originally, there was some excited red tide on his pale face, but looking at his sister's calm face, he suddenly became a little intrious. He thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, I don't understand what I told you!"
Long hair, short knowledge! Even if Cui Jingzhong didn't say these words, Cui Wei had already felt it. She couldn't help pulling the corners of her mouth and didn't open her mouth. Cui Jingzhong must have something to say here. Since he said Master Lin, he would not tell him about the Lin family for no reason. He must have some requirements. Sure enough, Cui Wei didn't expect that. After saying this sentence, Cui Jingzhong looked at Cui Wei with a expectant face and said, "Weier, since you have been to Master Lin's house, why don't you mention my name to him next time? If you can get the introduction of Mr. Lin's handwritten book, it will really be a happy event. In a few months, it will be the autumn test. I want to have a try. If I can get the help of Mr. Lin, I will not be qualified to get something!" After he said it, he saw that Cui Wei frowned and said nothing. In the corner of his eyes, he saw Yang's husband and wife coming in from the outside, and then he continued, "If I can win the talent again, I will be a person with merit in the future. If I don't kneel down when I see the master, I can exempt some
As soon as he heard this, Cui Shifu's face was still calm. Yang couldn't help exclaiming, "What, tax-free?"
Not only was Yang shocked, but even the Wang family almost jumped up! You should know that this tax is not a small amount. Now no one's family has a lot of children. This is taxed according to the number of people, and there is no other way to make a living in the family. Relying on those thin fields, once the tax is paid, the rest is just enough for the whole family to chew for a year. Although life It was tight, and more points could not be deducted. Yang and others also saved from their mouths, so they confessed Cui Jingzhong now and put all their hopes on him. At this time, when they heard Cui Jingzhong say such good news, Yang was so excited that he was so excited that he forgot to mention which foot first. He came in with the same foot and pulled He sat on the stool in front of his son and asked, "If you really hit the scholar, you have to cut taxes?"
Cui Jingzhong frowned independently, and then let go and nodded. Cui Wei thought that if it hadn't been for the Yang family sitting in front of him, I'm afraid that Cui Jingzhong would not even bother to talk about it. The arrogance of the scholar showed it vividly on him. The Yang family got a positive reply from his son's mouth, and he was immediately overjoyed. He didn't care that he was angry with Cui Shifu before. He quickly said, "His father, listen, it's really a good thing to have a scholar at home. There are a lot of taxes. If you can be exempted, you can save a Sure enough, it is the manifestation of the ancestors. I will take some paper money to burn incense on the grave tomorrow. Thank the ancestors for blessing our Erlang!"
The Wang family heard it with envy and jealousy, but their family is also living a tight life. They are poor and have no grandchildren. Their two sons don't even want to do the work in the field. They are lazy all day long, and they suddenly feel even more uncomfortable. Dong, the old man of the Wang family, quickly smiled and said, " In-laws, if Erlang is a scholar, I don't know if our family can also be exempted from this tax?
