Chapter 241 Surveillance
Two days ago, he came to his father-in-law's house and asked for travel expenses for the exam, but his father-in-law only gave him twenty taels.
He also said that there was not much money left at home.
Let him spend sparingly.
Now, he actually spent four hundred taels to buy a broken bird.
So, he is not even as good as a bird's feather?
Thinking of this, Ma Wuxing, who originally didn't want to take Zhou Yuanyuan to take the exam, instantly changed his mind.
Since the Deng family treats him as an outsider.
If he passes the imperial examination.
Humph.
Then there is no need to continue the marriage with the Deng family.
The girl was carrying her firstborn son.
Of course he took a fancy to it.
Ma Wuxing would rather marry Zhou Yuanyuan than the ugly and arrogant Deng Wangshu.
But the time has not come yet.
He is just a little boy now.
"Okay, Wangshu is still pregnant, and you're about to leave for the exam, so go back and spend more time with her instead of hanging around here."
Deng Jinian was in a bad mood and his attitude towards his son-in-law was also very bad.
Ma Wuxing nodded and left without saying a word.
"Brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but your son-in-law has a bad temper. Look, he just glared at you. He's just a student, but he's so arrogant. If he really passes the exam to become a scholar or a juren, do you think Wangshu will have a good life?"
I originally thought that my eldest brother's property would be left to his son.
But the eldest brother suddenly found a boy as his son-in-law.
He threatened that if his niece was pregnant with a boy, he would give him the surname Deng.
In the future, I will leave all my family property to this grandson.
Therefore, Deng Jiliang was always holding a grudge in his heart.
"How dare he! I support him with his food, clothing and daily necessities. Even the house was given to Wangshu as a dowry by me. If he dares to treat Wangshu badly, just let him see!"
Although Deng Jinian is a tough talker.
But he finally heard it in his heart.
After my brother left.
He called a servant.
"Take the money and rent a carriage. Two days later, when son-in-law Ma sets off, you will follow him from a distance and remember everything that happened on his way to the exam. When you come back, tell me the truth. Do you understand? You can only come back after son-in-law Ma comes back. You must remember not to let him find out."
I’m worried that my son-in-law really has ulterior motives.
Deng Jinian would rather spend more money and hire servants to monitor him.
"Yes, sir."
The servant named Chang Ying took the silver and left.
He went straight to Wanlu Street to rent a carriage, but saw a familiar figure.
In the blink of an eye.
The figure disappeared.
He didn't take it to heart.
After renting a carriage, we went back.
In the shabby house in Baihu Lane, Zhou Yuanyuan, who learned that she could go to the exam with others, held her stomach excitedly and laughed until tears came out.
"Follow me this time and gain some experience. When the child is born, you should raise him well. If one day I pass the imperial examination, I will immediately divorce Mrs. Deng and welcome you into my family."
Maybe he was rejected by his father-in-law.
Ma Wuxing regained his dignity in this shabby house.
Looking at the flattering manner in which the Zhou family treated him.
Ma Wuxing felt so relieved.
At the same time, on a small road outside the city, an ox cart was moving slowly.
Jiang Fubao was held in her father's arms and she fell asleep.
All I can hear is the sound of my family gossiping.
The afterglow enveloped them like a veil.
"Master, master—"
Suddenly, a voice sounded above Jiang Fubao's head.
Jiang Fubao woke up instantly.
She opened her half-closed eyes.
He looked up.
It was her phoenix.
"Phoenix, how did you fly here?" Jiang Fubao stretched out his arms in surprise.
Phoenix landed and held on tightly.
[They chased me, so I ran out of the city. I'm smart, aren't I? Master~ You have to reward me. I want to eat a big watermelon! ]
I was worried that the man and the bird would start chatting and scare the family.
So Phoenix replied to her with her inner voice.
"Good Phoenix, I will reward you with watermelon tomorrow, but you can't go to town with us anymore. Are you willing to stay at my house?"
Landlord Deng will not compromise.
I’m afraid they will come to the shop to cause trouble from time to time, what if they find the trace of the phoenix?
It's over.
It seems that this money is not easy to get.
Jiang Fubao didn't plan to take Fenghuang to town.
"Fubao is right. Fenghuang must stay at home. There are trees at the foot of the mountain anyway. It's more comfortable than in town. Fenghuang, you have to be good and obedient, okay? Otherwise, you will be caught and you will never see Fubao again."
Zhang Jinlan saw her granddaughter talking to Fenghuang.
I also imitated her, touched the phoenix's feathers, and spoke gently.
[Okay, I will listen to you, Master.]
Phoenix is very well behaved.
It nodded slightly.
"Look, I already have one foot halfway in the coffin, but this is the first time I've seen a bird nod its head. Fubao, could this starling really be the reincarnation of a phoenix in its previous life? It's amazing."
No matter how miraculous it is.
As long as it happens to my granddaughter.
Everything makes sense.
Therefore, the Jiang family quickly accepted Fenghuang's intelligence.
Jiang Fubao's sleepiness disappeared.
We continued on our journey, chatting and laughing with our family.
As she approached the village entrance, she saw three familiar figures.
It’s just Jiang Lingu’s family of three.
"Grandma, look at them." Jiang Fubao tugged at Grandma's sleeve.
Zhang Jinlan looked over.
"Tsk tsk, they've been beaten up like pigs, and they think everything will be fine once they return to the village? Just wait and see, their hard times are about to begin."
Zhang Jinlan raised one corner of her mouth.
Smirking.
So much bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain has been cut down.
I don’t know how many bamboo tubes I have made if Jiang Lingu doesn’t accept them.
The villagers were in an uproar.
The bullock cart overtook them.
Go back home first.
Fenghuang stood on Jiang Siyin's shoulder and walked in together.
Apart from Jiang Fubao, it likes Jiang Siyin the most.
If Jiang Fubao hadn’t known that it was a male.
I'm afraid it thinks it has fallen in love with daddy.
"Uncle, what kind of bird is this? It's so black."
As soon as she entered the door, Jiang Ruyi saw the bird on Jiang Siyin's body.
she asked curiously.
Since changing my surname and name, I am no longer registered.
The two sisters also changed their names.
Originally, they called Jiang Siyin uncle.
"It's the starlings. They can talk. Phoenix, say something to them."
As soon as these words came out.
All the children of the Jiang family gathered around.
Some of them are almost as tall as Jiang Siyin.
Some of them only reached Jiang Siyin's buttocks, and some even reached his thighs.
The children's heights are uneven, like bamboo shoots growing randomly in a bamboo forest.
"You idiots—"
It seemed as if Phoenix was teasing them on purpose.
It was clearly a curse, but the children enjoyed listening to it and kept clamoring for Fenghuang to curse again.
Jiang Fubao was speechless.
"Phoenix, praise me quickly." She ordered Phoenix proudly.
"Master, you are the most beautiful girl in the world. You are so beautiful that the moon and flowers are ashamed of you. Even the peony, the king of flowers, cannot compare to you in the slightest..."
Phoenix praised endlessly.
Jiang Fubao just wanted to show off in front of her brothers and sisters, but who knew that Fenghuang would cooperate with her so well that she went too far.
Her face grew redder and redder.
