Seeing that there is still a child, Mrs. Li coughed twice, and said: "Yesterday, Liu Er was dishonest and went out again. It seems that he had a conflict with someone. Now the Liu family is making trouble in front of Widow Zhou's door."

Tang Xiaofu covered his mouth and stared wide-eyed. He really didn't expect that Liu Er's flirtatious life would end up like this, so he chuckled.

"This Liu Er deserved what he deserved. Let him tease cats and dogs every day. This is the retribution."

Zhao Xiangbei sighed and patted Tang Xiaofu on the back: "I think the Zhou family is poor and poor, even if the Liu family comes to make trouble again, I'm afraid they won't get any advantage. With the Gong family's greed for money, I'm afraid something will happen to Liu Er , Brother Yuan still wants to marry."

Wang Yi was cooking at the same time. He had a few brothers under his knees, and now he loves his own songs even more. Hearing this, he felt a little uncomfortable. He threw the cabbage in his hand into the water and said fiercely: "This willow Er is simply a beast, Brother Yun is still so young, the Liu family wanted to use him as a sequel. Now that something like this happened to Liu Er, the Gong family's parents have simply committed crimes."

Li Shi put down the washbasin in his hand, and also sighed faintly.

"This is the fate of each family. For a while, everyone looked at each other silently. Li Shi and Wang Yi quickly prepared the meal. After the whole family had breakfast, Mr. Tang brought Mr. Tang He and Zhao Xiangbei went out to the ground.

Tang Laosan will leave home in two days, and is sorting out books and some articles that may be used.

It is going to be donated to private schools in the village so that children can study.

At this moment, every household is in the busy season of farming, and those guys who used to be Gu have to help the family work the land.

Farmers have nothing more important than the harvest of the land.

Tang Xiaofu didn't have many things to do these days, so he sent fish and live shrimps to shops in the county town, which he did almost every day.

Besides, he has room to use the cover of the big wooden barrel, and then put the fish in the shop, it will be more fresh.

Early this morning, Zhao Xiangbei went up the mountain to prepare fish and fresh shrimp, and kept them in two large wooden barrels.

After breakfast, the men of the family got on the door frame to move the cart and tied the barrel to the mule cart.

Tang Xiaofu moved the car and went out.

The business in the shop was still very good. Tang Xiaofu directed Gu Chengyun and Gu Chengyu to move down two large wooden barrels and put them in the fish pond behind.

Seeing that no one was there, Tang Xiaofu put the fresh fish and shrimp back into the barrel with a wave of his hand.

After the fruits outside were arranged neatly, the shop opened smoothly.

As soon as the shop opened, a few middle-aged people came to the door. They were dressed in neat muslin clothes, their hair was neatly combed, and they looked like servants of a rich family.

Tang Xiaofu came out from the warehouse behind, wiped the water off his hands, and did not say hello.

Brother Yang is naturally in charge of all the big and small things in the store.

As soon as the two of them opened their mouths, they ordered five live fish and two catties of live shrimp with Brother Yang.

Brother Lu responded quickly at the side, and the group dressed in fish and live shrimps hurried forward.

"You two, can this fish be used today? Of course, the fish must be fresh to be delicious. If it can't be eaten in a day, this fish can be stored with me for the time being. Someday you want me to find someone to give it to you. Just go to the door, it is guaranteed to be alive and kicking."

One of the round faces smiled and said: "Don't panic, my family has a distinguished guest today, and I specially bought salted fish, and I'm going to make noodles today."

When Brother Yang said this, Lian Sheng responded with a smile on his face, took out two pieces of ginger from the counter and put them on the desk, and said with a smile: "These two pieces of ginger are grown by us. It tastes great, if it’s not something valuable, just treat it as a sweet treat, don’t hold it against you.”

That round face was a bright person at first glance, seeing how good the ginger was, the smile on his face deepened, and he said: "Then thank you to the store."

Nowadays, in ancient times, there were no plastic bags like modern ones, and live fish had to be taken away on ropes.

As for live shrimp, they can only be packed in pots.

Fortunately, a guy will be sent in this shop to help bring the pot to the door, and then take the basin back, which will take some time.

I just heard the long-faced Meme who came in together, and whispered to the round-faced Meme, "Hua Meme, you said that this year, you will come down from Beijing to choose your brothers, can you take a fancy to our brothers? ? Even if you enter the palace, you can see the world by the side of the nobleman, learn the craft, and then you will be released from the palace when you are old, so you are a bit older, but you can get married if you have seen the world."

When the round face heard that, his expression became serious, he glanced around, saw that no one was paying attention to them, and said in a low voice: "Don't talk about this outside, it's because you came from above, but It has something to do with our family's doctor Lang, so I came to the door to choose. The little brothers left this time will all be by the side of the dignified master. If there is any brother in the future, it will be a great blessing, thanks to the grace of God , then our mansion is different."

That long face covered his face and smiled hehehe.

"I heard from that guy that he's going to choose a lot of people, at most eleven or twelve-year-old brothers, who will just go in and do some rough work of cleaning and laundry. It's really distressing. Who would be willing to send it to a rich family? .”

"Okay, okay, this is all the master's plan, let's not talk too much as servants."

The two looked at each other and stopped talking.

They thought the voice was so low that no one could hear it, but they didn't expect Tang Xiaofu to be able to hear the matter clearly.

However, he didn't take it to heart. When he was watching palace dramas in the 21st century, he often saw maids entering the door. The eunuchs were poor boys. Such things were commonplace.

And the selection of servants in the royal palace of the Great Qi Dynasty is another set of rules.

Except for those who have status and status sent in by the government, most of them are purchased from the hard-working people.

The servant who signed the contract was in his teens, and he could work after entering the palace for a year of training. When he was in his 20s, he could be released from the palace if the master did not make any serious mistakes.

Moreover, the palace people still have the monthly calendar money, which is not bad, but who wants their own children to really enter the palace, and they will be separated from each other from now on.

Tang Xiaofu shook his head, pushing away the random thoughts in his head.

Those two had already left with fish and fresh shrimp.

Tang Xiaofu sat for a while, and there were quite a few people who came to buy the fish when they first came out of the stall in the morning.

Since the fish from Tang Xiaofu's family is fresh and very good after being fed with Lingquan water, all the gourmets in the city look for this fish and often line up to buy it.

If you come late and cannot buy the river prawns and scallops of the day, you will regret it very much.

After tidying up the things in the shop, Tang Xiaofu went out to Lushunzhai, and bought two catties of pastries of various colors, and then set up the ox cart and walked back.

The sun was already high when we got home, and the weather was very hot at the moment. Tang Xiaofu was sweating all the way.

As soon as he entered the yard, Mrs. Li quickly won over, fanning Tang Xiaofu with a plantain fan, and took the pastry from him.

"I guess you'll be back soon. When I woke up in the morning, I planted a watermelon in the well. Now you go to rest under the vines to enjoy the coolness. Mom will cut the watermelon for you."

Tang Xiaofu smiled and dragged Mrs. Li to sit down in the shade under the vines, got up and went to the well by himself, and quickly fished out the watermelon in the well in a few strokes.

Cut into several petals by hand, put them in a small pot and put them under the pergola.

"Today, I saw that Yushunzhai made your favorite jujube cake, so I specially bought some more. You can try it."

Li Shi leaned on the rattan chair, opened the oiled paper bag with a wide smile on his face, and saw the red and orange jujube cake, the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be suppressed no matter what.

"You kid, Yushunzhai's pastries are expensive."

Tang Xiaofu bit it off, and said with a smile on the sweet watermelon tip, "I bought you delicious food, how can it be said to be a waste? I heard that Yushunzhai will produce mille-feuille cakes in a few days, and they should be very good." Food, buy it when you meet me, let you taste it."

Since her elder brother is filial, Li naturally smiled happily.

After eating two jujube cakes and a big watermelon, the heat disappeared completely.

Mrs. Li leaned on the rattan chair, and it was rare for her to be free. She suddenly remembered the gossip in the village today, and turned to Tang Xiaofu and said, "Occasionally there is going to die now, and the Gong family doesn't have to marry Brother Yun. The Liu family will come to ask for a bride price." In the morning, the two families were fighting fiercely. The man of the Gong family was simply confused. When he turned around, because the bride price was gone, he hung Brother Yun from a tree and beat him up. The one who gets beaten out breathes more gas than breathes in, I think the Liu family who committed crimes in his family still contact Wang Ah from the next village."

Tang Xiaofu's hand trembled, and the watermelon in his hand slapped and dropped on the plate.

"I heard that Wang Amo is a human tooth."

Mrs. Li nodded: "Ah Wang did a lot of bad things in her early years. She never had a brother or a son in her life. Now she relies on him to be a man and earns some money, so my nephew is willing to support him."

However, while talking here, he suddenly groaned, Xiao Xichen who woke up cried.

Tang Xiaofu got up quickly, took the pastry, and went into the house to coax his fat son.

In the evening, Tang Xiaofu and Zhao Xiangbei went out for a walk to digest food, and walked to a deserted alley at the east end of the village. It was like turning around and seeing a figure falling on a tree at the foot of the mountain from a distance. familiar.

Tang Xiaofu's eyes widened instantly, and he grabbed Zhao Xiangbei's arm with a trembling voice.

"Man, someone hanged himself!"

Hearing Tang Xiaofu's reminder, Zhao Xiangbei also responded quickly, and the two quickly ran towards the corner of the mountain.

He saved the hanged man and landed on the ground. Looking carefully, this is Brother Yuan, so thin that only a handful of bones remain.

The child had bloody whip marks all over his hands and neck.

After the person was rescued, Tang Xiaofu pressed a few acupuncture points and fed a little spiritual spring water, and Brother Yun woke up, crying in despair with his eyes wide open.
