bastard little man

"One Dicui pure gold bracelet, two pure gold inlaid earrings, one red string gold chain, one auspicious pure gold ring, one small bead gold bracelet, six pieces of colored silk, two packages of six types of seafood, A load of Sijing fruits, a pair of gift boxes..."

An Datong was sweating when he heard it. He knew it was a gift of twelve loads, but he didn't know it would be so expensive. The gift he prepared in return was goose wine, tea cakes and some fruits, although the wine and tea cakes were all given by him. I paid a high price to buy it, but compared with this betrothal gift, it is still not enough.This... How can I return the gift later?

Qing Shan whispered in An Datong's ear, "Master An, besides these betrothal gifts, the other 300 taels of silver were placed in a separate place, and I had someone carry them directly into the hall. The matter of this silver is not included in the betrothal gifts."

"Hey, that's right, you're still thinking carefully." This was the first time An Datong heard someone call him a master, and the people sent by the Qiu family were not so polite.

Liu Cui welcomed Yao'er and the others into the door, and An Qiyu took the cakes from the Qiu family and distributed them to the villagers.

"Hey, why is there meat in this cake?"

"Show me?"

"Hey, why is there honey in my cake?"

"Honey? Let's change." The person who spoke will change with him.

"Bah, honey is worth more than your meat, what can I get for it!"

……

Many adults and children stared straight at the gift cakes with different flavors.

"Sister Xiaoyu, my younger brother didn't come, can you give me one more?" A 5-year-old boy from the next door village said embarrassedly while grabbing his clothes.

An Qiyu recognized him, and this 5-year-old brother did all the cooking and laundry at home.

"My sister will give you three, you can eat two for yourself, and leave one for my younger brother." An Qiyu kissed his little cheek and said distressedly.

"Hey, my elder brother was envious of the generous dowry gift that the eldest daughter of the An family got. I didn't expect that today's dowry gift opened the eyes of us little people."

"You said that this elder sister is no worse than Brother Yu in any aspect, so why is the person she married so different?"

"You gossips have long hair but short knowledge, and you only see the money in your eyes. Why don't you think that the young master of the Qiu family is a cripple? Why don't you think that Sun Baizhen may be a talented master in the future? Marrying that kid from the Sun family is the way to go." A real visionary," interjected an elderly man holding a hoe.

"Tch, let me tell you, the real money you got is real."

"that is"

……

Some people's envy or sarcasm, An Qiyu didn't take it to heart. Since the last time she found out that the Sun family's betrothal gift was bought with money secretly, An Qiyu began to blame herself for doing something wrong. , so that I have been in a bad mood these days.

An Qiyu's bad mood has always been shown on her face, and those who were watching the excitement today automatically think that she is dissatisfied with her brother.

An Qiyu in the room was lying on the bed eating dates boredly.

Liu Cui saw the little brother like this after entering the room, and thought he was sad, so she went up to comfort him and said, "The young master of the Qiu family said that he is sick, and his health is not good. The master of the Qiu family has been away for a long time and has not come back. I can't live without Madam, so neither Madam nor the young master of the Qiu family came today."

not coming?An Qiyu rolled his eyes, and replied to his mother, "I know, he told me that he was not in good health when he went to town a few days ago, and that he might not be able to come for the engagement ceremony."

Liu Cui felt relieved when she heard this, and complained to him, "Then why didn't you say it earlier? It made your father nervous all the time."

"He's not sure if he's going to recover in the next few days, how can I tell my father about this uncertainty?" An Qiyu turned over in boredom, "Mother, those gold bracelets and bracelets, we have to go back go?"

Liu Cui smiled and said, "Of course you don't need to return these hardware sticker boxes, but you have to return some of those like colored silk for food. You, you have to study hard in the future."

"What about the 300 taels of silver?" An Qiyu was thinking about this all the time. Although the people in the gambling shop didn't know why they were so talkative that day, it would be better to return the money earlier, so that he would feel more at ease.

"It's placed in the hall." Liu Cui looked at the little brother suspiciously, "Why do you spend money every day? You talk about money more than you talk about that young master of the Qiu family who loves each other."

"Mother, do you think I married for money? Am I so greedy for money?" An Qiyu looked directly at his mother without any stage fright.

Liu Cui thought about it, her brother had many ideas since he was a child, and he didn't look like such a confused person, "Didn't you just ask me casually? Why? Now that I have grown up and my wings are hard, what can I say?"

"Hey, no way, whatever you say is fine, I will definitely accept it with an open mind." An Qi Yupi thought of something after a while, "Then about the tea ceremony?"

"They're not here, who are you serving tea to?" Liu Cui faintly heard people from the Qiu family outside seeming to be leaving as she spoke, "You stay in the room, I'll go outside and take a look."

"Master An, this is a book" Qing Shan took the book paper from Yao'er and handed it to An Datong.

Although An Datong didn't know a lot of Chinese characters, he didn't want to be looked down upon by these people, so he opened his eyes and nodded.

Looking at the wife who came out, Liu Cui immediately reacted and took out the reply.

An Datong took it and handed it to Qingshan, "This is the engagement of my brother Yu."

Qingshan and the others are about to leave after taking over the engagement.

An Datong and Liu Cuixu stayed for a while, making it seem like such a thing to outsiders, and then watched them go with An Qiyu.

"Good fellow, a great gift of twelve dan."

"Huh? Did you see the extra box?"

"Is it the little box that was carried directly into An Datong's house?"

"Yes, yes, do you know what it is?"

"Hey, a matchmaker went to our village to look for our village head before, and said that there is 300 taels of silver for a marriage. The brother of our village head's family is not only beautiful, but also has many times more knowledge than the Anda family. I didn't agree." A villager from Sunjia Village said.

"Don't agree to such a good thing?"

"Most of the villagers in our village can live a decent life, and the village chief's family has no shortage of money. How can a well-educated brother marry a cripple from Qiu Yuan's family? Isn't this a Mai Tai?"

"That's right. From this point of view, An Datong has nothing to brag about."

……

An Datong, who has always been very tight-lipped, didn't know that he had become a big talker who likes to show off in others' mouths.

An Datong made a record of more than a dozen boxes of things at home and put them in An Qiyu's room, and put the ones that couldn't fit in his own room.

An Qiyu opened the small box in his room, inside were 2 taels of silver ingots, 300 taels in total.

An Qiyu was troubled, how could he return the money without being suspicious by his parents?

In the early morning of the second day, An Qiyu packed more than 100 taels of silver in a large bag, and stuffed some rags around the silver so that the shape could not be seen from the outside.

I was about to carry this big bag and found it a bit strenuous.

Sighing, this is the past, he found so much money, he was so happy, now looking at such a heavy burden, he just feels it is a burden.

Liu Cui was stewing a fish from yesterday's betrothal gift, when she saw Brother Yu going out with a big burden on her back, "Hey, where are you going? Don't you have breakfast?"

Liu Cui stood at the door and looked at the things he was carrying, a little puzzled, "What are you carrying?"

An Qiyu pretended to be very relaxed about the burden, "Mother, I have some old clothes to send to Brother Zhu. He said that some poor relatives came to his family. send a few over"

"Let me see what clothes you picked? Don't give away the few good clothes I just made for you in June."

An Qiyu ran very fast at once, "Mother, it's just a few old clothes, don't be so stingy"

"You!" Seeing that the little brother ran away, Liu Cui didn't bother to chase after him. She put the cooking shovel on the table and went to Brother Yu's room to check the clothes. If she finds a brand new If he gave away his clothes, she must teach him a lesson!

An Qiyu covered his face with something and went to the casino with Zhang Pengzhu to pay off the debt.

Ayou's fierce face was full of smiles, "Come again next time."

An Qiyu and Zhang Pengzhu took the IOU and ran away like a plague god, "Bah, I will never come to this kind of place again."

An Qiyu tore off the note he had signed, and finally heaved a sigh of relief, "Brother Zhu, I feel like I'm alive again."

"Then...to celebrate your new life, I'll invite you to a restaurant for a good meal." Zhang Pengzhu said coolly, touching the half taels of silver in his pocket.

"I want to eat beggar's chicken!" An Qiyu dragged Zhang Pengzhu towards the restaurant quickly.

"Let's change the way of eating. I heard that this restaurant has a new dish called General Shredded Chicken. Let's try the new dish?" Zhang Pengzhu said out of breath while being dragged away.

Street vendors and passers-by shook their heads when they saw these two unruly guys on the street.

Two people eat a plate of chicken and two side dishes, and their stomachs are full.

"Brother Zhu, I have to go to the pharmacy. Do you want to go with me or come back directly?" An Qiyu took a sip of tea, and secretly praised the tea in this restaurant. Too contemptuous, and the attitude is not good at all.

"Medicine Hall?"

"I have something to look for them, I said to go a few days ago, but was delayed by some things"

"I have to go back to have dinner, so I won't be with you." Zhang Pengzhu said a little listlessly after eating too much.

"You still eat?"

"If I knew that I spent nearly half a tael outside for a meal, I would definitely scold me and blame you by the way, so I have to pretend that I didn't eat and go back to eat again," Zhang Pengzhu wailed.

It was also the first time for An Qiyu to go to this restaurant, and he was a little bit unsatisfied, "Next time I invite you, I still have a lot of money."

"Okay, next time we must make this store look good." Zhang Pengzhu felt his swollen stomach and went back, while An Qiyu went to Baixiatang.

As soon as An Qiyu entered Baixia Hall, he saw a familiar person, to be precise, he had met twice.

"Sweating, weak voice, fatigue, diarrhea..." The doctor repeated Xiao Yezi's words loudly, and then said without any concealment, "This is a sign of weakness."

Xiao Yezi wished she could stuff the old guy's mouth with something, why was she talking so loudly?Afraid that others will not hear you?
