Chapter 737 Practice

Li Xuemei drove by herself, Nanny Rong held Xiao Ya'er in her arms, and Madam Cui was riding in the car.

There was no chirping of birds or insects all the way, only Madam Cui’s hearty voice.

"Is Heng'er coming back soon? He's been gone for a long time. Ouch, no, he should be called Yan Xiaoxiucai. I heard that his father is sending him to study in an academy in the capital. Is this true? The road is not close. Yo, have you thought about it?"

"Her uncle ordered the waiter, and I couldn't bear to part with it, but as my child grows older, I have to go out and learn more skills." Li Xuemei said.

"That's the reason. When my two dogs grow up, I will let them out. The boys can bear the burden and let them fend for themselves. They will have to start their own families in the future. My father and I can protect them. When..." Mrs. Cui Balabala said something about how difficult it is to raise a child.

Li Xuemei only smiled and nodded, responding occasionally.

Mrs. Cui: "...Is there any plans for the marriage of the eldest daughter Qianchu in your family? Her father hasn't agreed yet? Then the boy from the Cheng family seems to be fine. His father is an official, and he is a good match for your family. The only disadvantage is that family property Bo, but I asked about it. If the boy from the Cheng family is well educated, what will he get if he is admitted as a scholar... If you get the money from the student, and your family will give you a dowry, the young couple can live a good life. In the future, he will be admitted as a scholar, so Qianchu and her father Pointing, not pinching, isn't a Jinshi an official, and the eldest girl will also be an official's wife. Oh, the main reason is that the boy from the Cheng family is nice. I asked many people, and they all said that the boy is good, yes He is a kind-hearted and righteous person. Qianchu’s temperament is worthy of someone with such a good temper. Let’s talk privately. The best thing about the Cheng family is that they don’t have a mother-in-law. It seems that their life is simple and they don’t have any troublesome relatives. Come to the door.”

Li Xuemei turned to look at her and asked with a smile: "Are you still helping me inquire about her?"

"No, Qianchu is also my eldest niece." Ms. Cui's voice was loud and her demeanor was even more natural. "By the way, does her father like her? Then Mr. Cheng hired a matchmaker."

Li Xuemei was convinced. Did her aunt even ask about the Cheng family's appointment of a matchmaker?

"Isn't it because Xiao Er's uncle hasn't come back yet? He's busy with official business, so we can't ask too many questions."

Mrs. Cui nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's right, the prince over there has rebelled against me. Xiao Er and her uncle are worried about big things, so how can they care about these things? If you want to talk about it, it has to be my brother Yan. Look at his ability. This Just do what the official says, and as soon as you do it, you will be promoted to the sixth rank, tsk tsk, if you work harder, you will not be far from the highest one!"

Li Xuemei:......

It's from the sixth rank, which is quite far away from the first rank. No, it seems that there are no first rank officials in this dynasty.

Mrs. Cui probably had all the topics on her mind, so she turned around and talked about the waiter again.

"...My big dog said that the fire ring looks scary. As long as you run fast, jump fast, and rush through it, not a single spark will touch you. There is also the one they practice to shoot rockets, and they will fire when they breathe. Flying out was all the waiter's idea. Our waiter has a smart head. He said he was playing with the big bow in his free time. Oh, that bow is amazing. Boss, what's the shooting like? I’m so curious!”

"That's called the Eight Ox Crossbow. It's a powerful siege weapon. It's difficult to install, and the waiter may not be able to master it." Li Xuemei said truthfully: "But it is indeed amazingly powerful. If it can be used, and there are enough arrows, it can defeat hundreds of people."

"Qi Wu grinds that pole every day at home, right? I think the waiter can install it and it can be done." Madam Cui has great confidence in the Yan family.

"And that cowhide cart is very rare for my two dogs. They wish they could get into it every day. They make a potion for them on weekdays. The smell is too strong, so the cowhide smell in the cart is not strong? I moved closer and, oh, I Oh my God, you almost knocked me down!"

Lady Cui is talking about a siege vehicle, which is not only covered with cowhide, but also has a folding ladder. The cowhide can protect against arrows and weapons, and the ladder can be used to climb walls and attack the city.

"The waiter is back, brother and sister, you see, my two dogs can't even stay at home. If I hadn't stopped them yesterday, they would have knocked on your house late at night. Today, if it weren't for the waiter, I would have to accompany her as my godfather. , my two little bitches can’t stop going to school, and then again, is Teacher Mu really so knowledgeable? It’s said that the adults who committed the crime are convinced, hahaha, it really makes us girls look bad!”

…

Li Xuemei went to the city to take her eldest niece home, and also invited Mrs. Tian back.

There is also the little girl Qing'er and her little brat brother.

This boy named Zhang is not as honest and simple as Zhang Shagenzhang, who has the same surname in the village.

When I came to Xiaoan Village from the quarry, I became very excited.

Village Chief Pingluo arranged for people to secretly observe the Yan family for a long time before showing up.

As soon as he showed up, he knelt down in front of Li Xuemei and begged her to take him in and sell himself to the Yan family.

He said that he would work as a cow or horse for the Yan family, just to support his sister.

Yes, he only sells himself, not his sister.

Moreover, the way he sold himself was very interesting. He didn't need any money from the Yan family. He even took out a lot of it himself and eagerly handed it to Li Xuemei.

The Yan family is certainly a good place to go.

There are many people who want to sell themselves into her house.

Li Xuemei really wouldn't have thought too much if the boy from the Zhang family had been looking for him as soon as he entered the village. But after waiting for so long, this child didn't come to ask about his sister Qing'er. Li Xuemei even went to the Luo family to ask about it before, but couldn't find it. His person, it can be seen that he has the intention to hide and is very defensive.

Who is he guarding against?

Everyone.

This is a very thoughtful child.

Li Xuemei asked him why he came here without entering the village?

The boy said he was afraid because he didn't see his sister.

Li Xuemei asked him again what he was afraid of? Are they afraid that the Yan family won't be able to support Qing'er, or are they afraid that the Yan family has ulterior motives and plots against their siblings?

The Zhang family boy answered very well, saying that his sister had been weak since childhood, and the family had a sudden change, and all the elders died, leaving only the two of them. When he first entered the village, he really didn't dare to ask, for fear of hearing bad news about his sister and giving up his thoughts.

Li Xuemei thought for a long time and finally decided to keep the child.

She asked the villagers to take him to Yongning City so that the brother and sister could reunite.

She also wrote a letter to Mrs. Tian, ​​explaining the origins of the Zhang family brothers and sisters.

After thinking about it carefully, it was not wrong for the Zhang family boy to be on guard.

He was exiled all the way and suffered a lot.

The quarry was not a good place, and it was not easy for a child to protect himself.

Xiaoan Village was even more unfamiliar to him. He had no idea whether the family who took his sister away was good or bad.

Therefore, Li Xuemei could understand what he did.

As for the idea of ​​selling herself, Li Xuemei laughed it off, and just thought that the Zhang family boy's mind was interesting.

Except for the Kang family, everyone in the quarry is a criminal. If they can sell themselves into slavery, they can redeem themselves in the future. It is easier to get rid of criminals if they meet a kind family.

Is the Yan family kind?

Of course.

The Yan family is the kindest family in Xiaoan Village.

…

The second son of Yan and the people borrowed by Captain Xue arrived first.

They went straight into the new recruit camp.

They trained 5,000 people to death.

Maybe I slept too much during the day. I am not sleepy at all, but I have to lie down. I will update it tomorrow after I wake up~

Qing'er's brother has not been written because Zhai Zhai always forgets him. Every time I think of it, it is not suitable for him to appear. It has been delayed until now. Hahahaha, the wholehearted kid of the Zhang family can finally appear (*^▽^*)
