Xiuse Farmhouse

Chapter 167 Bad news

After the grain was harvested, the fields were slowly sorted out, and everyone sowed wheat seeds again.As soon as the wheat is sown, the work in the field is really done.There is no afterlife, and a new child is added to the family. Wanwan and Baishou are really busy without touching the ground.

However, before the two of them could breathe a sigh of relief, Baishoutou took advantage of his free time to go hunting in the mountains, left a pheasant stew, and sold the rest at the market. After returning, he was in an abnormal mood.

Baishouben is not a liar, although he still helped Wanwan cook and wash clothes as usual when he came back, but Wanwan sat in the yard with the child in his arms and talked to him several times, but he didn't even listen arrive.

Ask him to go into the house to get diapers for the child, but he came out with a piece of clothing; ask him to pull out the weeds growing in the vegetable garden, and he squats inside in a daze.He also kept smiling and told Wanwan that he was just a little tired.It's just that the smile is a bit forced no matter how you look at it.

This kind of hundred poems has never been seen before, and he has never complained in such a tiring day in the past, not to mention that the family has been free these two days.

In the end, after repeated questioning and threats, he finally compromised, with an uneasy expression and wandering eyes, and worriedly told Wanwan the news of a thunderbolt from the blue: "...Brother Xie said that a few days ago, Ouyang's family ran a Funeral."

Wanwan only felt his head buzzing, and he didn't hear a single word of comfort from Baisong.Baishou couldn't tell clearly, but she already guessed who he was talking about.

Although the next life has nothing to do with them, they have become like relatives after being together for more than a year.Such a good, living person, how can he be gone without it?
She didn't believe it at all when she said she had an emergency.Why are the people in Ouyang Mansion so vicious?

Wanwan slapped her palm on the table, and her palm immediately became red and painful. She didn't feel it at all, and she stared angrily and shouted: "I don't believe it. I want to report to the authorities. The Ouyang family must give an explanation."

Baishou hurriedly pulled her: "Calm down, don't be so impulsive, that's his real father."

Wanwan was stunned, yes, that was his father, even if they went, what name would they use?Facing the government, Master Ouyang can have many opinions.

"It's relatively low-key and hidden, but there are still many people who know about it."

The funeral was held in a low-key manner, and outsiders didn't know about it. Only those who had some relationship and inside information knew about it, which meant that the government also knew about it.So, the next life is really an accidental death?
After thinking about it, she felt that something was wrong, even if the government knew the inside story, so what, the affairs in the Gaomen's family's house were complicated, and they didn't say anything, how could the county magistrate be so stupid as to find trouble for nothing.

And who would have nothing to offend a rich family like Ouyang's family, I'm afraid the magistrate often waits for Ouyang's family to pay tribute money!

Wan Wan still didn't believe it: "Is Ouyang's family in charge now?"

"Yes. According to the will of the old man Ouyang, the head of the Ouyang family is now the old man Ouyang."

According to what Xie Tian said, the old man Ouyang went there a while ago, and then died of an accident in the next life?How can there be such a coincidence.

But she and Bai Capital knew that there was no real basis for talking about this matter.But if they don't care about it, they really feel sorry for their grandpa.

The two discussed for a while, and decided that Baishou would ask Xie Tian to inquire again.

The next day, Baishou went to the market, found Xie Tian, ​​and euphemistically expressed that his family was very worried about the next life, and couldn't believe that they had passed away in just a few months, and hoped that he could help inquire about the situation.

Seeing him a lot in the yamen, Xie Tian knew that a high-profile mansion like Ouyang's mansion was not easy, and he was on good terms with Baishou, so he just asked for some information and readily agreed.

Wanwan and Baishou didn't tell the village head Yang Yizhi about this, they wanted to confirm the authenticity of this matter before they said it.Thinking about things in my heart, I will feel sleepy all day long.The other room is full of things used in the next life, and on the table is the tumbler that Ouyang Zhi gave him.The cabinet is full of his old clothes and new clothes.And those new and unused cloths.She often tidied up these things, and cleaned the dust every day. She had hoped that she would come back someday in the next life, and the things would be useful.This is all right, these things will never be used again.

I don't know where the Ouyang family buried him?Is there a genealogy?

Just thinking of these crooked eyes brings tears to my eyes!

After resting at home for two days, Baishou went to the market on the third day, but he didn't see Xie Tian.Inquiring about things in the county would take more trouble after all, Baishou didn't leave a message and came back by himself.When I was free, I went to the mountains to harvest the corn.But Xie Tian didn't hear the news yet, the two of them waited anxiously, and then Baishou went to the market twice, but they didn't see anyone, so they asked other people, it turned out that there was something wrong with the yamen, Xie Tian and Ma Yan It's been a busy few days.

Baishou cut a piece of meat and bought dried dates.

Wanwan told him before that dried dates are good for the body.

Then he drove the ox cart back to Yangjiacun.

After Wanwan found out, she was still a little disappointed, and also a little worried.

Baishou vacated the basket that contained things and said: "Ouyang Mansion has many rules and strict management, it is not so easy to inquire about things."

Wan Wan had to force himself to be quiet.

After Baishou went out with the basket on her back, she put the child to sleep, then took out the dirty clothes that had been piled up for two days and threw them into the basin, fetched water again, and started washing the clothes.

However, she lost her mind again while washing, and she didn't come back until Wang Matchmaker called her from the side.

"What are you thinking about, Second Sister, I called you several times." Matchmaker Wang smiled and looked at Wan Wan. In the past, as long as she stood outside the door and shouted, Wan Wan would come out. Today, she yelled several times, and Wan Wan sat down. I didn't seem to hear it in the yard.Seeing the preoccupied look on Wan Wan's face, and Wan Wan's life in the village was carefree, she suddenly became curious: "Is there something wrong, look at your absent-minded appearance."

Wanwan tugged at the corner of his mouth, cheered up and showed a smile: "No, it's just a little tired to take care of the children recently."

"That's right, you have to take care of the children and take care of the house by yourself, and you can't sleep well at night. If you have time in the afternoon every day, you can take some time to sleep. It seems that your complexion is worse than the previous two days. "

Wanwan couldn't help touching her face, and laughed dryly: "Maybe it's because I haven't slept well in the past two days." Then she took a stool under the eaves and asked Matchmaker Wang to sit: "...It's cooler here."

With quick hands and feet, he quickly washed his clothes, and asked her, "Auntie, is she busy these days? Why do you have time to sit here today?"

Matchmaker Wang wanted to find out more about Wanwan, but when she heard this, the smile on her face faded, and she went to the yard to help Wanwan fetch clean water, help her clean up her clothes, and said to him: "Top It's really hot to wash clothes in this big sun, let me help you, the two of you can wash faster."

Wan Wan glanced at her, then smiled and answered, all the clothes were washed in a short while.I also sweated a lot.Wan Wan went to the kitchen to fetch two bowls of water, and handed one of the bowls to Wang Matchmaker: "I'm tired, let's quench my thirst!"

Matchmaker Wang took the bowl with a smile, drank a couple of sips of water, and Wan Wan also took a stool and sat beside her.

At this time, Matchmaker Wang sighed and said, "It's better for Dazhi's mother. Now that Dazhi has won the prize of a scholar, I don't know how many people in the village and outside the village are fawning on her. Our family's enlightenment is miserable."

Wanwan suddenly understood a little bit in his heart, and said with a smile: "How many years older is Dazhi than Kaiming! Besides, didn't Dazhi fail the first time? There are only a few scholars in our village, and the future of the village will depend on them !"

Matchmaker Wang's depression suddenly disappeared, and she hurriedly said: "Yes, the other two are more enlightened than our family! Although our Kaiming failed this time, we will definitely win a scholar next time, unlike some people ..." There was a look of contempt on his face, and he was a little disdainful: "Do you think you can pass the exam if you enter an academy? Smart people and those who can be used can pass the exam even at home, and those born by stupid things are born again. A good teacher may not be able to teach!"

A few days ago, Matchmaker Wang received a lot of stares from Jun Qiniang.

Wanwan smiled, but didn't answer.

Although he knew that Wanwan's family had a bad relationship with Yang Junqi's family, but seeing that Wanwan didn't say anything, Matchmaker Wang was not good enough to say anything about Junqi's mother, and then changed to other topics, and brought it back without saying a word.

"Li Dazhi is very good this time. He has been selected as a scholar and has a good teacher. He will definitely be extraordinary in the future..." Then he sighed: "It's fate. Kaiming was in a bad mood when he failed this time. I wanted to give him a good marriage, but I didn't know that when I met the best of the Tan family in the market, they actually took a fancy to our family Kaitai and wanted to betroth their ugly little daughter to our family Kaiming. I really think my family is easy to bully ..."

This matter has been heard by people before, but it was spread by everyone, and it is not clear whether it is true or not.

Matchmaker Wang seldom walks around the village recently, so everyone naturally hears nothing from her. Some of the good things are quietly said that one day they will find a chance to play on Matchmaker Wang's tone, and they don't know the real reason why this happy event has gone bad.Now Matchmaker Wang took the initiative to tell her that although there was an example of Changshou Niang pulling her to talk about her own family affairs before, she was still a little surprised.

Could it be that his popularity is so good?

On the face, she immediately smiled and comforted Wang Matchmaker: "Mother, you are overthinking. Brother Kaiming is so young and promising, don't worry, this girl has to take time to see each other. The Tan family can't blame you for this matter." , I'm afraid they planned to do that, but just happened to meet your family."

Matchmaker Wang nodded, looking at Wanwan with gratitude in her eyes, she really saw the right person, Wanwan was just different from those women in the village, those people laughed behind her back all the time, who would really comfort herself.He took out a handkerchief and wiped the reddish corners of his eyes.

Then he took out a cloth bag from his arms and spread it out in the palm of his hand. Inside were more than a dozen pieces of medicinal herbs, each about the size of a thumb, with some debris on it.Wanwan took a closer look, and it turned out to be ginseng.

Surprised: "Ah, ma'am, it's ginseng!"

Matchmaker Wang chuckled: "That's right. I just bought this from the market, and it's the best ginseng."

"Premium ginseng? How much does it cost?" Wanwan asked in surprise.

"I bargained with the old man, and finally took me a tael of silver. Although it is a bit more expensive, the high-quality ginseng is also a bargain." Wang Matchmaker's eyebrows and eyes were full of complacency.

Wan Wan blinked, a tael of silver, premium ginseng.
