Chapter 52

Although there is not much money, it also solves a lot of urgent needs.

Therefore, Ting Lan was willing to have a few words with Xue Qingyuan.

Thinking that there was not much food left at home, Ting Lan rolled her eyes and complained to Xue Qingyuan, saying that a delicate person like her own lady now has to eat bran and swallow vegetables. After a few days, she lost a lot of weight. I'm afraid I'm going to be seriously ill.

Xue Qingyuan was in a panic at the time, and even said that he was useless and could not help her without anything, and then turned around and said to find his third brother to find a solution.

Ting Lan got nothing at that time, and thought that all her efforts were wasted.

Unexpectedly, the Xue family brothers came to the door the next day with rice, grain, bird's nest and other things.

At that time, the brothers from the Xue family knocked on the side door, and it was getting dark when they came. The young lady didn't intend to meet them at first, but for the sake of helping them in need, they went to show up.

Hao Sheng thanked him, said a few words, and sent him away.

After another night, news of Xue's family becoming a monk and thief got out.

Looking back on the past, Ting Lan found that the brothers of the Xue family acted furtively and unequivocally that day. She originally thought that the two of them were thinking about the young lady's reputation, but now that she thinks about it, it may not be that simple.

After all, the brothers of the Xue family are still studying, and they have no income, they are all supported by their family members.

However, they were generous that day, and the things they sent were not cheap, especially bird's nests, which were rarely seen in a countryman's life...

"Ting Lan?"

Wang Xuexian's questioning call came to her ears, and Ting Lan came to her senses, thinking secretly in her heart.

She can think of this, the young lady is so smart, how can she not think of it?
It's just...these bad things don't need to bother the young lady.

After thinking about it, Ting Lan softened her voice, "The Xue family became a thief, that's the family business of the Xue family, what does it have to do with the young lady? The young lady should not worry about it."

Hearing this, Wang Xuexian immediately felt relieved.

"That's justified. It's not our turn to worry about Xue's family affairs, but..."

After thinking for a while, she said again: "One more thing is worse than one less thing. The fact that those two people have been here must not be known by others. Also, we can't take those things for nothing... go and take the previous imperial examination papers that I wrote silently recently. Here, I'll pick some out, and you take them to those two."

"The slave is going here."

Hearing Ting Lan's response, Wang Xuexian felt a pain in the flesh.

She tried so hard to write those test papers silently, how could she use them like this?This is really cheap for the brothers.

'Meow~'

The fat cat next to him barked.

Wang Xuexian put her mind away, looked at the past with loving eyes, and told Ting Lan who had not yet walked out of the door, "Later, you go and cook the fresh fish that Mr. Xue brought yesterday. Susu should be hungry."

As she said that, she stretched out her slender hand, wanting to hug the fat cat named Susu, unexpectedly, the fat cat, who was always docile, suddenly stretched out its sharp claws and scratched the back of her hand fiercely.

"Ah! It hurts..."

"Oh my god, miss, you've lost a lot of blood, what should you do? I'm going to invite the doctor right now..."

Wang Xuexian has been pampered since she was a child. She has oily skin that is tender and smooth, and cannot withstand the slightest abuse.

The fat cat pawed down, and the blood flowed suddenly.

The wound is shocking.

The fat white cat retreated with one blow, without giving the pair of messy master and servant a look.

With graceful steps, it walked out of the door slowly, jumped onto the water tank with water lilies in the yard, and stretched its blood-stained paws into the water.

Ripples on the surface of the water spread out, reflecting Fat Cat's flat, world-weary face.

The ice-blue cat pupils glowed with a faint light.

In the depths of his eyes, the remaining anger was still boiling.

……

"It's rare for you to come back to the door, so why don't you stay for dinner today?"

Serving hospitality tea, Xue Zhang said with a smile.

Wang Yan thanked him and nodded in response.

Xue Zhang was startled.

She just said it casually and did all the courtesy, so why did she really agree?

Isn't Wang Yan never willing to trouble others?
Xue Zhang was not satisfied with Wang Yan, the future son-in-law. Seeing that he was so ignorant, the smile he had managed to force on his face disappeared without a trace.

Unavoidably being discovered by Wang Yan, the scene was ugly, she ordered her two sons to greet Wang Yan, and then hurried to the kitchen.

A look of embarrassment and embarrassment flashed across Wang Yan's face.

He is not ignorant. In the past, when his father was still there, the Wang family and the Xue family were well-matched. A few years ago when his father passed away, his mother was lingering on the sick bed, which drained the family fortune. Now he is poor, and marrying the Xue family has become a Gao Pan, it is inevitable to look at his face.

Xue Qingshu is a good girl, and it is his luck to marry her.

The Xue family did not regret the marriage, he could only be grateful.

If he hadn't got business to do today, he would never have bothered her.

It was just a cup of tea, but Wang Yan insisted on drinking it for half an hour. After he finished drinking the tea, Xue Bolin also came back on his donkey.

The Xue brothers also came forward with him.

"Father, you are back."

"Father, are you tired from teaching today?"

Xue Bolin seemed to be in a bad mood, with a hint of anger on his brows, he ignored his two sons and asked Wang Yan why he came.

He knew that Wang Yan would not go to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing.

"You're here, but what's the matter?"

Wang Yan bowed his hands and saluted, "Uncle, can I take a step to speak?"

"You come with me."

Xue Bolin led Wang Yan into the study.

What can they have to talk about?Xue Qinghang, who stayed where he was, looked in the direction of the study with a thoughtful expression.

After a while, Xue Qinghang moved closer to Xue Qingyuan, lowered his voice and said, "Go and listen to what they are saying."

"If I don't go, I will be miserable if my father finds out."

Xue Qingyuan had resistance written all over his body.

"Go, I don't feel very good, maybe they are talking about throwing money."

Xue Qingyuan immediately hissed, "Hiss~ No... no way? I'll go right away."

Not only the Xue brothers were curious about the content of the conversation in the study, but Qingshu was equally curious.

Fortunately, she has excellent hearing and does not need to squat against the wall.

The Xue family's house is not big, and she only needs to listen carefully to hear the family's movements clearly.

In the study, Xue Bolin sat down behind the desk and looked at Wang Yan, who was nodding his head and lowering his eyebrows, with a somewhat complicated look on his face.

Back then, he and Wang Yan's father had passed the scholar examination in the same year, and they had a close friendship. Thinking that Wang Xiucai was very talented and expected to make further progress, he made this marriage for his daughter.

I never thought that Wang Xiucai was short-lived, and he died before he passed the exam.

Xue Bolin asked himself that he is not a short-sighted person, and being down for a while does not mean anything. Wang Yan was smart since he was a child, and he is a good material for reading. , I picked sesame seeds and lost watermelon, so stupid.

"It's rare for you to come here, but the wedding is approaching, what difficulties did you encounter? If so, don't worry. The marriage between you and Shu'er was over when your father was around in the early years. There is only one wedding. table seats, you just do your best."

After the ceremony, there was no room for change. Thinking of this, Xue Bolin's heart tightened.

"I don't dare to bother uncle about the wedding. I came here this time to tell you something."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Wang Yandao: "Recently, I have taken on some work for people in the county town to do the accounts. Today, when I was doing the accounts for Baiweilou, I accidentally discovered that Qingyuan bought a batch of bird's nests from Baiweilou five days ago, worth 56 taels of silver..."
