Chapter 4

Qiao Hu looked at his mother and opened his mouth slightly. But when he saw Qiao Yuling at last, he didn't say anything.

Liu is also a face of sadness, even Qiao Yuyue also Qiao Yujia also a pair of days fall down.

"Come on, eat." Mr. Qiao opened his mouth. Da Fang, San Fang and Wu Fang, including Qiao Yuling's family, sat down at the table to eat.

Because of the large number of people, it is divided into two tables, one for Mr. Qiao and the other for Mr. Chen. Because the two bedrooms are all in town now, the table is not crowded at all.

The staple food is distributed by Chen. Maybe it's because Sifang is not popular, or maybe there are no boys and girls in Sifang, so the staple food of the female dependents in Sifang is half that of others.

Today is brown rice porridge with pickles, others are a bowl, Qiao Yuling they are half bowl, can just cover the bottom of the bowl.

This is Qiao Yuling's first time to have dinner with everyone. Liu brought all the food to her room these two days. When she looked up and saw that other people were full of bowls, only their fourth room was half bowl. When she was about to speak, Qiao Yuyue grabbed her and shook her head.

Qiao Yuling's words came to his mouth, but he didn't make a sound.

But she didn't say a word, didn't say goodbye and didn't complain.

"Niang, when do you think the days when we drink brown rice porridge every day will last for nearly a month." Lu looked at the bowl in front of him and asked Chen.

Chen Shi brushed and then sank his face, "if you don't want to eat, you can go out now. What's the situation at home now, you don't know? If you can't stand the pain now, then your second younger brother will become the county magistrate, and you won't want to follow him to enjoy the happiness. "

"Oh, Niang, I don't mean that. I mean that the silver has been sent out for more than a month. Why hasn't there been any news at all? You didn't send a message from the second brother?" Lu blinked, looking forward to it.

"What's the hurry? If it's done over there, the second family will definitely come back to pick us up and live in the county as soon as possible. It can't be urged." Chen said.

Hearing the speech, Lu's smile, some flattering looking at Chen's way: "Niang, at that time you can be the mother of the county master, go out still can't ten eight wait on, those rich ladies in the county still can't wait to give you gifts, oh, just think about the scenery."

Chen's favorite is this, the previous gas is gone, with a smile and scold: "that's not fast to eat, when the time is not without your benefits."

"Oh, thank you." Lu said with a smile and drank the brown rice porridge in front of him. Even if he didn't like it, he couldn't help it. It was better than starvation.

The bowl of white flour that Liu prepared for Qiao Yuling was naturally the most favorite in the family. Mr. Qiao and Mr. Chen's old lady Qiao Xue drank it.

Qiao Yuling listened to the conversation, some want to roll their eyes impulse, county master?

Is it so easy to be an official in ancient times?

With questions after dinner, just returned to the west chamber, Qiao Yuling took Qiao Yuyue and asked: "elder sister, why didn't I see the second uncle's family?"

Qiao Yuyue said with a soft smile: "it seems that you don't remember. The second uncle is the most talented person in the family. He was admitted to the scholar in the early years. Recently, it seems that the old county master had to go home to provide for the aged. They said that he could become the county master by giving gifts, so we took all our savings to give gifts, It's said that the second uncle is looking for a reliable person this time. He is sure to be the county magistrate. "

After listening to these words, Qiao Yuling's mouth twitched fiercely. He felt that Qiao family members had been cheated. Or was it really so easy to buy and sell official titles in ancient times?

The family of Qiao had a family of Ju people before, but they missed the dream of being an official because they didn't pass the palace examination.

But even so, Qiao's village can be regarded as a cultural village within a ten mile radius, because many people want to marry girls to Qiao's village.

Another reason is that only Qiao's village has a school within a ten mile radius. Qiao's family name goes to school, but it only costs half of the tuition fee. Other villages need to pay in full.

The Qiao family didn't have much money, but they had land. After so many years of waiting, they finally got their second son to sit in the position of the county magistrate. The Qiao family spent a lot of effort. Originally, they sold 40 mu of land without blinking an eye, but they didn't have enough money. Finally, they sold Qiao Yuling.

Seeing Qiao Yuling in a daze, Qiao Yuyue reached for her hand and gently pulled her hand. She was very distressed and said: "if there is no second uncle's family business this time, I'm afraid they won't sell yenai... They won't let you go to Chongxi."

Qiao Yuling was cold in her heart. After a simple contact in the morning, she could conclude that even without Qiao's second son being the county magistrate, as long as the Wang family came to her, Qiao and Chen would certainly sell her.

After all, that's three hundred taels of silver. I'm afraid a farmer may not make so much money in his whole life.

"It's all because my father doesn't have the ability to make me feel aggrieved." Qiao Hu limped over from one side, sat down beside the two sisters, and said with a look of remorse.

"Dad, it's OK." Qiao Yuling showed a sweet smile at Qiao lake. Qiao Yuyue looked at Qiao Hu anxiously, "Dad, milk said that we should bear the money of the Wang family. What can we do? Originally, we can't take out 300 Liang, but the Wang family has to double it. That's 600 Liang. What can we do?"“ It's OK, dad will try to find a way. No matter what, dad will never allow your sisters to be hurt again. " Qiao Hu looked at Qiao Yuling and seemed to make a promise“ But Dad, the three hundred taels of silver were clearly given to the second uncle by Ye Nai, and let the second uncle entrust people to be officials. How could it be counted on us? " Qiao Yuyue is very unconvinced. Qiao Hu pulled out a smile, "well, don't worry, little child. When the sky falls down, your mother and I still have to bear it. Go ahead and take Jia'er and Nan'er to dig some wild vegetables. Recently, the food at home is not good. You say that the vegetables in the vegetable garden are going to be sold. Change some money to save money."“ "Dad..." Qiao Yuyue also wanted to say“ Go ahead, my dear“ Oh Qiao Yuyue has no voice. Qiao Hu looked at it and then said, "ling'er, take a good rest, and then raise your body. Let's go to the moon."“ Dad, I'm all right. I'll go with them. " Qiao Yuling is busy making a sound. She hasn't come out of the courtyard since she wore it. She just has this opportunity to go out and have a look. Qiao Hu is not forced, "well, Yueer takes care of her sisters."
