Ai Qing added: "no, but the little lady and the maid said something very strange. She said that someone threw a cloth package into her yard two nights ago. She just got up at night. She was scared when she heard the news. She thought it was a thief, so she woke up the master quietly. They took a hoe to find the corner root. They vaguely saw that it was a black thing, and later stabbed it with a hoe When they poked it, they found that it seemed to be something. The little lady went to the house and took out the fire fold. When she was illuminated, they found that it was a rag bag. They picked up something and went back to the house to hold the lamp. When they turned it on, they found that there were two hanging coins and two long cotton padded jackets in it. It was for the old people at home. "

Xiao Fang guessed it, but Lin Shunhe didn't hide it. She told her that her guess was from Lin Shunfeng.

Xiao Fang asked him, which one do you know? Doesn't it mean those people are far away?

Lin Shunhe didn't know who it was, so he couldn't answer.

After listening to Lin Anxin and pondering for a long time, Fang said: "my big brother is lazy and gambler. His heart is only his mother-in-law and son-in-law. At the beginning, my uncle would not always punch my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law was beaten by my uncle. I guess I would have wished him to die. How could I have thought of these two old men, if it were not for them If you choose, the couple won't get stiff. "

"My second cousin only listens to his mother-in-law's words, and his heart has always been tied to his in-law's side. If he escapes with his mother-in-law and children, he should have the best life among the three brothers. His mother-in-law is not too annoying, or he is in charge of his own family. However, just because of this, his family must be the most comfortable, and the rest It's probably only my little cousin who has a little simple idea. Maybe he threw the bag of things. "

Lin Anxin has a vague impression that after Lin Qingbai was born, he was probably the youngest grandson. When he arrived, he was not bad. In addition, the first two grandsons were older, and most of the delicious food was left to him.

The reason why she was impressed was that every time Lin Erya met her, she would complain to her about the partiality of her master and nurse.

"I don't know where my cousin Qingbai is now? He hasn't done anything bad. If someone has seen him, let him come home for the new year. At least it's a knot in my father's heart. " Lin Anxin has always been a man with a clear sense of gratitude and resentment. She saw that Lin Qingbai still had some conscience, so she was willing to show her good.

Two wenches should go down again.

When Lin Qingshan comes back from dinner, Lin Anxin tells him about it.

Lin Qingshan was not surprised. He said with a smile, "you said Qingbai. I've actually seen him."

Lin Anxin exclaimed: "big brother has seen him. Why don't you stay at home for the new year?"

Lin Qingshan quietly pointed to the next door and said with a smile, "will those two over there let him go? I'm afraid I'll transfer all my hatred to him. He's very pitiful. He only knows how to play cards every day. His family owes him a lot of money. Even his family doesn't care. So far, he's still single. He hasn't been with his brothers. He went to another county alone through the introduction of his friends If you find a job, you can find several liang of silver a year. What he threw into the yard is probably his half year savings. I have a conscience, so I don't embarrass him. "

Lin Anxin really did not guess wrong, and asked: "then it's almost new year, where can he go?"

Lin Qingshan sighed and said, "I don't know. I just told him that I can't keep him at home for the new year. The master and the nurse will make everyone have a bad new year. After thinking about it for a long time, I wrote a letter to Yuzhu and asked him to take the letter to find Yuzhu. I'll take him in for the new year. After the new year, he's going to join the army."

"What? Do you think cousin Qingbai is going to be a soldier Lin Anxin knows that once he becomes a member of the military, he has to be a member of the military for generations. Of course, it depends on whether Lin Qingbai has that life.

Lin Qingshan said with a smile: "it's not that easy. He can only be a soldier now. It's not that easy to be a soldier. Unless he has been in the army for a long time, he can still eat porridge after he comes down from the battlefield

Lin Anxin frowned slightly and said, "what is he doing? If he doesn't do a good job, how can he think of that way? He's not as tough as a child. He has no eyes on the battlefield. If he's not careful, he's going to die. Brother, no matter how we don't deal with our uncle's family, you should persuade him. If the other two say that they want to go, I'll certainly send them off. "

"You don't know. I heard the village head say that next spring, every family will recruit strong men. It is said that there will be another war in Dianzhou. This time, there may be a big battle. Qingbai has no choice. His father has become a slave to pay his debts. Her mother and the two brothers don't know where they have gone. If he doesn't go, he will be wanted by the imperial court. He is a deserter and will be hanged."

Lin anxiously asked, "what about our family? I can't live without you. My third brother is studying in the capital

"If there are students with high reputation in the family, they can be exempted from military service. However, our brothers and sisters have separated. I asked the village head quietly. He said that as long as they are willing to use some money, they don't have to go. Otherwise, how can those rich families escape this?"So...

Lin anxiously knows that there are some things that can be seen through but can't be said through. We all "muddle around" like this.

"That is to say, brother, if you have acquaintances, you can help him for the sake of family affection. At least, his character is fair, unlike the other two."

"These two days, I'm just on the run for his business. Fortunately, my family is looking at your face, and I'm willing to take the lead. In this way, it's not as difficult as I thought." Lin Qingshan's words should mean something about helping Lin Qingbai.

"In that case, I'll ask my girl to make some wear-resistant clothes for him. It's said that the recruits will suffer a lot in the first three months after they join the army. Now all the people in his family are scattered, and no one cares about him." Lin Anxin felt that even though Lin Qingbai was so progressive, she didn't mind helping him.

"Well, the one who has never been greedy for that sum of money has given his clothes and money to the Lord and his milk, because he got the two hanging money. I heard that he has been in peace these two days."

Because of this, Lin Qingshan looked up at Xiao Fang.

Lin Anxin chuckled and said: "elder brother, don't underestimate her. The more she is like this, the more she shows that she is in the interests. However, the brothers have separated. Now, you have your own property. No matter how much she lives, it's just a mu of land. If we are happy, we should give her more money. There is a younger brother in her family who has never married Pro, I think, I've been treated by my relatives in those years. That's why I'm able to do things and have the means. "

Lin Qingshan nodded and said: "if she is really so interested, if she has something to do in the future, she will not be taken care of. At that time, I don't mind helping her in the face of my father."

"Don't get used to the idea of dependence." Lin Anxin reminded him.

Lin Qingshan said he knew.

On the 28th of December, not only Lin anxiously looked forward to it, but also Liu Sanniang sent people to look outside from time to time, hoping that Lin Qingsong would come back.

Unfortunately, things backfired. On this day, Lin Qingsong and Su junyang never came back.

It was Deng Jingu who came here. He said that this morning, someone had given him a bucket of big turtles, so he picked three of the biggest ones and brought them in person.

When I came here, I also picked up three jin of streaky pork. To make braised soft shelled turtle, I had to fry the streaky pork together. It would taste delicious.

Deng Jinchai took what he had sent and asked about Deng Jinling.

"You say that when she was at her mother's house, she would not be so out of tune. After she got married, she became more and more disrespectful."

Deng Jingu sneered: "my mother-in-law didn't choose her well. Before, the Zhao family rubbed her too hard. However, I don't plan to take care of her affairs any more. Pan Erlang's side, I went to the meeting personally and warned him. He also promised that I would try not to let her feel sad again."

But Deng Jinchai didn't believe it, and said, "I really don't like Pan Erlang. I know who Jinling is, but I still provoke her. Isn't it that I ran to my Deng family's money?"

"Don't worry, elder sister. Now she's good at learning. She knows that she's in charge of everything. Whether it's the house or the good land, it's all written in her name. It's all dowry, and the pan family can't get it."

"However, she will give birth to a baby for the pan family in the future. I'm very angry just thinking about it. Why do you want to take advantage of the pan family?"

Deng Jingu rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Niang means that the second sister still wants to marry someone. She can't stay at home all the time."

For a moment, Deng Jinchai didn't know what to say. She really didn't know what her mother was like.

"Well, she chose this time. It's her own business. I can't control it anyway."

Deng Jingu didn't come here for this, but...

"elder sister, hasn't brother Qingsong come back yet?"

"No, my mother-in-law sent the little girls to the door one day. She wrote a letter and said that she wanted to come back for the new year. Last night, your elder brother told me that if he didn't come back today, he would come back tomorrow. How can I help you?" Deng Jinchai didn't wait for him to say any more, and then said: "fortunately, you have listened to what I said. I heard from your brother-in-law that my little brother-in-law studied very well, and then entered the Songzi college in the capital. He said that the students from that college, even the examiners, had to look up for a year. He also said that my little brother-in-law wanted to take part in the imperial examination, which is a matter of being an official I'm quite sure that if you make friends with him, it will only be good for you in the future. "

Knowing that Deng Jingu was in business with Lin Qingsong and Su junyang, she advised him to let go of his old grudge and get along with them.
