Chapter 045 is not in the middle "Okay, don't mention the work in the town."
When the annunciator came, my father went to borrow money. ”Although Old Man Luo scolded Luo Youxiao, he listened to Luo Youxiao's words just now.For a while, I didn't know what it tasted like, just sitting on a bench in the yard, smoking a dry cigarette."
Well, father, the child and my mother have already asked about the family affairs of the literary name, and the literary name is also very fond of the niece of the Zhao family, if the father and mother agree, I will go to Zhaojia Village to discuss with the eldest brother in the next few days."
Old Man Luo: "It's okay to look at the name of the text, and it's okay to bring it up at this time."
You go to town and find a reliable matchmaker. ”Luo Youxiao: "Dad, the matchmaker's child and his mother have already been found, but this dowry costs fifty taels of silver."
But in the situation of our family, my father and mother also know that they can't take out so much money now.The literary name his uncle and cousin also understood, and the Chinese name was the same, and the dowry prepared was not old or young, so he said that he didn't need to take much dowry, and prepared a five taels of silver to not let other people's families see the joke, just thinking that the young two could live in the town after getting married.First, it is also convenient to go to school with this literary name, and it cannot delay the examination of the literary name; Second, the daughter-in-law of the literary name can also take care of the literary name, and the literary name of the province is tired of reading; Third, these two people living together can also give the father a grandchild as soon as possible. ”The dowry of the people in the village is generally seven or eight taels of silver, and there are also less, and of course there are more."
Five taels of silver is not a lot, the literary name is his uncle's family is a good one, and this cousin is also a knowledgeable person, and he knows that he is considering the literary name.It's just that before this, the literary names all lived in the academy, so if the two of them lived together, the academy wouldn't let it. ”Luo Wen really studied in the academy in the town, and there was only one academy in the town, which was not big.With a certain amount of money paid every month, the college can provide accommodation for children who are not in the town, which is equivalent to living on campus."
Dad, what's going on.Since Wen Ming has a daughter-in-law, he must not be able to continue to live in the academy.When the time comes, I will rent a small courtyard for the young couple near the academy.Originally, Wenming's cousin said that she was going to use her dowry to buy a small yard for Wenming, which made me stop, we didn't have any dowry, Wenming's uncle's family still paid so many dowries, and then we couldn't use the dowry to buy a small yard for Wenming. ”Luo Youxiao began to speak.When Old Man Luo heard his eldest son's words, he nodded, and said with a smile: "I just said that I didn't misunderstand the old Zhao family, this family is benevolent and righteous."
We can't touch our in-laws' family so cheaply, we don't need to let them buy a yard, or our family will have no face, and our name will not have face, you are right to stop it. ”Luo Youxiao knew that Grandpa Luo would say this, so he immediately continued: "Dad, if you want me to say, we should buy this yard, anyway, it will be our old Luo family in the future."
Dad, think about it, this literary name is your eldest grandson, and now he is Xiucai, buy a yard as a dowry, which is so pleasing to the eye, and this courtyard will still be a literary name in the future, that is, it is still our old Luo family. ”"A small courtyard in this town costs seventy or eighty taels no matter how cheap it is, and an ordinary small courtyard costs a hundred taels, we don't have so much silver, and the silver money we owe before has not been repaid.I think in the future, if the name is Wenming, if you get married, you will rent one directly, don't buy it now. ”Old Man Luo knows that Luo Youxiao has filial piety, but at this time, not to mention the money to buy the yard, even the money for Luo Wenming's future study is not enough.This year is the year again, and my hair is gray.When Luo Ran heard his uncle's words, he knew in his heart that if he bought a house in the town for Luo Wenming to live in after getting married, the house would definitely belong to the uncle's family, and there would be nothing to do with anyone else in the Luo family.The abacus is really good, just looking at the scene, now although the Luo family has silver in their hands, they don't have so much silver, and they can't squeeze much if they want to.How can this uncle's family think about taking money from their own family and not earning it themselves, if they are put aside to be a full old family now.Needless to say, I know that the results of today's Xiucai exam are out, and if you win Xiucai, the person who reports the good news will come over.Old Man Luo was so concerned that he kept sitting in the yard, and in that direction he could see the gate of the yard.From the time I had dinner in the morning to the afternoon, no one came to the news.Old Man Luo went from being excited at the beginning to slowly nervous, and then to being disappointed, and now he is hopeless at this point.Smoking dry cigarettes, the cigarettes alone were loaded several times a day.In the middle, Luo Youxiao was also complaining, at first he said that the messenger who reported the good news was lazy and delayed the journey, but then he slowly learned that he had to believe the facts, so he scolded the people who sold the test papers at the beginning, saying that he was going to find them to get the silver back, but he was stopped by Old Man Luo.In the summer, the temperature is already high, and it has not rained for a long time, with a hint of stuffiness, and the wind is also blowing.Although the old man sat in the shade of the tree in the courtyard, he couldn't stop the heat.Coupled with the anxiety and anxiety in my heart, it is even more stuffy.After stopping Luo Youxiao's actions, Old Man Luo felt that his eyes were black and his body shook, but fortunately he was sitting and did not fall.I sat quietly for a long time before I felt relieved.I moved the small bench under my ass and slowly went back to the house."
As long as you can, sit in that courtyard on a hot day.If you want to dry oil, you don't want to see how much you can get out of this old bone. ”When Qin saw Old Man Luo returning to the house, he remembered that he hadn't returned to the house even after he had persuaded him, and began to scold."
Alas, don't say it.I sat in the shade of a tree, where to get the sun. ”"Qiao'er, go and come here."
Old Man Luo sat on the kang and said.After a while, Luo Wenming entered the main room with a wooden face, called grandpa and stood under the head.Old Man Luo looked at his eldest grandson, who was a little decadent and frustrated, and said: "Wen Ming, I didn't win this show, don't be discouraged, you can take the test again next time."
There are so many people who take the exam every year, and there are not many of them.How many people are tested for Xiucai, this is a matter of thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge.Now that you're young, it's normal to don't perform well in the first exam, try again next time.At that time, the most powerful official in our village was also tested twice before he was lifted.Don't care what others say, go back and study hard. ”"Grandpa, I see."
Luo Wenming had all the feelings in his heart, nervous, bitter, worried, hateful, etc., just lowered his head, and was a little relieved to hear Old Man Luo say this.I just suffered a series of blows from my father and sister in the house, especially my sister, who knew that she didn't have a show, but she didn't believe it when she lost her mind, but fortunately she was appeased by her mother.4209051:
