78. On the genealogy
Liang Ji Cloth Workshop has been very popular since it opened on the fifth day of the first month, not only the orders for framing gifts have been received softly, but even the set of moire clothes has been ordered out no less than ten sets.
Due to the uneven craftsmanship of the embroidery girl, the shopkeeper had to pick the good craftsmanship and ponder the needle according to the style. After all, the craftsmanship is not passed on, and how much can be understood depends on personal ability, even the cloth workshop has no right to ask the embroidery lady to teach the embroidery method to others.
Although this moire embroidery method is new, there are really not many people who can embroider the general appearance, anyway, most of the customers are not connoisseurs, as long as they don't look closely, they really can't find the difference in embroidery.
Some knowledgeable customers had to raise the price and wait for Chen Qing to embroider. The reason why some people rushed to cut new clothes just after the New Year was because they wanted to win the jackpot at the Lantern Festival, and they could be more eye-catching by wearing them.
The lantern festival is a great time for merry talents to show their literary talents, not only to watch the lanterns and guess the lantern riddles, but also to compete with the wits of the competition. If a good riddle is also a moment, but if you can solve the final mystery, you can not only get a large amount of silver, but also become the focus of attention.
At that time, the major commercial houses will also hang huge lanterns, ask the literati and ink writers to draw riddles, there are calligraphy and painting forms, there are also text forms, all kinds of lantern riddles, as long as you can answer correctly, you will get a lot of money.
There is also a kind of guessing lantern riddle, the answerer needs to pay silver taels, the correct answer can get a silver reward, the wrong answer will continue to accumulate, in previous years there have been a cumulative more than 100 taels of riddles, some are taken away, some are the next year to continue to hang.
The reward is divided according to the difficulty of the puzzle, and if it is not solved for a long time, the reward will continue to accumulate. There are many poor scholars who have taken advantage of this to turn over and enter the government school in one fell swoop, and there are also talented and shallow scholars who have become a laughing stock with their generosity. But at this kind of event, no one really cares who can't answer the riddle and has a foreign appearance, the focus is on participation, and the picture is a joy. Even gambling houses will set up bets to guess which talent can solve popular riddles, and even draw famous scholars and students in the county into books and sell them on the street, so that ordinary people can also participate in them.
Liang Zijun held the latest album of this year in his hand, and smiled playfully, "It seems that this year is more lively, and it was arranged 9 days in advance." Well, there are a few more new faces, it's just that this painter's skills are too poor, young master, my face is crooked, and my eyes are not like them, they are too slender, and they look like a treacherous face."
The shopkeeper twitched the corners of his mouth, he felt that this painter was very good, not to mention the three points of the wood, at least the young master's calculating expression was painted. "Does the proprietor know who made it?"
"How many people can know my heart so well? If it weren't for an acquaintance, I'd really like to meet him for a while," Liang Zijun threw down the album and asked with a warm face, "Do you think you look like me?"
The shopkeeper lowered his head and coughed lightly, and a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.
Liang Zijun rubbed the corners of his forehead and sighed, has he been too carried away recently? His image of a handsome and talented man has been ruined in such a way, and he has spent several years of hard work and pretending to be obedient, but he has unconsciously been recognized by others. Hate that~ If he catches that painter, he must educate him well.
"I'm afraid that the clothes customized by Qi Mansion are not easy to push, and I can't let other embroidery girls take over, you see ......" Wan Da shopkeeper turned his words and asked the owner.
"Well, I'll take it back in a while, it just so happened that my new clothes were embroidered yesterday, just out of time, remember to double the price, how can my husband's hand-embroidered clothes be so cheap for him" Liang Zijun said sourly and instructed the rest of the orders to be sent to the rest of the embroiderers, and if there are special requirements, you have to wait for fifteen years before you can start embroidering.
The shopkeeper of Wanda explained some matters of the store again, and then got up to send the owner out.
Just after the end of the New Year, the county is still full of joy, people come and go on the streets, and the merchants and vendors who are familiar with each other will say the New Year.
Liang Zijun returned to the courtyard, Liang Bo was preparing dinner, looking at the somen noodles that were still clear soup and little water, Liang Zijun frowned, "Can't you cook some delicious food for the New Year?
"Just an old man, who eats so many good ones? After all, I will have a full stomach, and what I eat is different" Liang Bo glanced at Liang Zijun.
"Yes, I can't care if you like to eat, anyway, you will clean up the rotten dishes" Liang Zijun waved his hand, and he was about to lead the horse with his burden.
"Don't buy so much if you know, it's a pity to throw it away, the vegetables in this winter are expensive, and there is that silver......" Liang Bo began to think in pieces.
Liang Zijun hurriedly covered his ears, dodged the firewood thrown by Liang Bo excitedly, and hurriedly led the horse out of the door.
"You don't listen, bastard...... Fifteen, will you come back to live?" Liang Bo craned his neck and roared loudly.
"Return, help me pick up the futon," Liang Zijun replied, poking out his head and smiling.
"Get out! pick it up yourself!" Liang Bo took out another piece of firewood and smashed it at the handsome face. Liang Zijun hurriedly retracted his head in fright, patted his chest and scolded, "Dead old man, smashed your master's handsome face, how many big girls and little daughters-in-law have to fight with you!"
"It's good to ruin it, I'll be angry when I look at your face!" Uncle Liang roared.
Liang Zijun kicked the door panel hard, I really don't know who is the master! When I returned to Liang's house, it was already dark, so Liang Zijun threw the horse to Wei Liang and hurried into the door with his baggage.
Chen Qing was cooking dinner and waiting for him to come back, took the burden and asked, "New job?"
"Well, the embroidery was done before the fifteenth, and the customer was in a hurry" Liang Zijun finished washing his hands and picked up the rice bowl and started eating.
Chen Qing opened the baggage, looked at it, and said with a dark face, "If you don't pick it up, you can't finish the embroidery!" Don't you know that I don't take the urgent work?"
"What is so much nonsense? I didn't know that you were in my house before, but now I know, my daughter-in-law doesn't help her husband earn money, and she still thinks about taking on private work?" Liang Zijun didn't believe that Chen Qing couldn't finish embroidering this set of clothes in 7 days.
"Embroidering at night costs my eyes, and besides, even if I am your daughter-in-law, I have to pay the salary" Chen Qing pursed his lips. Liang Zijun's set of clothes was embroidered in half a month, and if you want to complete it within 7 days, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay up until midnight.
"You are a money fan, you know that you want money, rest assured, the salary master will not undercount you, and this is a rush to give double wages" Liang Zijun threw out the bait, not afraid that Chen Qing would not take the bait.
Sure enough, hearing that there was a double salary, Chen Qing's eyes lit up, frowned and thought for a while before nodding in response.
"Hey~ There's no such thing as you! How can you say that this business is also your own, how can you, who is a daughter-in-law, only look at that little profit?
"Own business?" Chen Qing looked at him sideways, saw Liang Zijun nodding solemnly, and stretched out his hand, "Then divide half of the money with me, and I'll show you my heart"
Liang Zijun made a wooden face, why did he forget this stubble? Busy with a smiling face, he grabbed his hand and patted it, "It's all a family, what else do you share with yours and mine, if you lack money, just ask me."
Chen Qing pouted and withdrew his palm, glanced at him with a particularly disdainful look, and turned around and went into the house to clean up the embroidery.
Liang Zijun secretly patted his forehead, he was not afraid of handing over the money to Chen Qingguan, but he was afraid that he would have no excuse to pinch him again, thinking about the list full of two papers, and secretly entangled in how to build up his debts.
If Chen Qing is pregnant, he will tear up those bills, I am afraid that this person will be debtless and light, and he will still not be at ease after all.
Who can be blamed for this matter, and a good daughter-in-law is like two families. Liang Zijun suddenly lost the mind to eat, and pondered how to extinguish Chen Qing's heart.
"There is!" Liang Zijun got up from the case, and rushed out of the courtyard and went straight to the second brother's house despite Chen Qing's surprised look.
"You want to give Chen Qing a genealogy?" Shao Fengzhi tried his best to hold his face, not wanting Liang Zijun to be too embarrassed.
"How can I remember someone who was ashamed to say after marriage that he would not give the family tree and clear his debts and drive people out directly?" Liang Ziping took a sip of the tea bowl and glanced at his third brother with squinted eyes.
"No, I obviously said that I would tear up the paperwork when he married another!" Shao Fengzhi pointed to Liang Zijun to correct her husband's slip of the tongue.
"Yes, yes, look at my memory. Liang Ziping patted his forehead and cooperated with his daughter-in-law.
"Second brother, second sister-in-law, don't mess with me" Liang Zijun wailed, and Jun's face was rarely dyed with a layer of shame.
"Hahahaha...... You bastard, even if you don't say it, when your father and mother come back, the family tree will be given to Chen Qing. How can I follow you in a room every night without a name or a point? Even if you are willing to do it, our Liang family can't do such a thing as bullying men and women," Shao Fengzhi laughed enough before he secretly damaged his little brother.
"When my father and mother left, I said that it would not be too late for your kid to get on again, you said that you knew why you had to do it today?
"Yes, yes, or the second brother and sister-in-law have foresight, and the younger brother is ashamed of himself" Liang Zijun whispered to please his brother and sister-in-law, and as soon as he finished speaking, he eagerly reached out to ask for "what about the paperwork?"
Shao Fengzhi knocked off the palm that was stretched out in front of his eyes, and scolded with a smile, "What is the monkey anxious about?
Liang Zijun looked left and right, but he didn't look at Shao Fengzhi, as far as his virtue Shao Fengzhi didn't know what was going on, he immediately taught with a tiger face, "How can you not discuss this matter with your daughter-in-law?" Don't wait for the dolls to have them before you think of giving people a family tree, you don't have to chill Chen Qing's heart! This little brother is not more righteous than a woman, and he can't even raise his head if he has no children in her husband's house, you are good, you don't even give a family tree, Chen Qing's waist can be straightened, it's strange!"
"I think so, you better hurry home and inform Chen Qing, lest he always worry that you will marry another and be swept away" Liang Ziping also disagreed.
"Is he always thinking about repaying his debts and redeeming himself, am I such an irresponsible person? If he didn't care, I wouldn't be okay," Liang Zijun pouted and felt aggrieved.
"Why is Chen Qing still thinking about leaving the Liang family?" Shao Fengzhi frowned.
"Can you blame Chen Qing for thinking too much? It's not that your good brother always bullies people when he has nothing to do, if he is willing to treat Chen Qing well on weekdays and doesn't talk about marrying another person, can people always think about leaving a way back for themselves?" Liang Ziping was angry and couldn't argue, and it was rare to teach Liang Zijun a lesson.
"That's your brother!" Shao Fengzhi pulled Liang Ziping's ears and twisted them hard. Liang Ziping rubbed his ears aggrievedly and complained, "It's my brother, and it's also the good brother you taught, look at his virtue, he deserves Chen Qing not to see him!"
Liang Zijun hung his head to listen to the training, he really couldn't get angry in front of his second brother and second sister-in-law.
"Come on, go home and tell Chen Qing well, the days will be long in the future, don't wait for your heart to be cold and cover it, it's too late at that time" Shao Fengzhi glanced at the brothers, and there was no angry lesson.
"Don't go" Liang Zijun stiffened his face.
That's your daughter-in-law, if you don't feel sorry, no one will hurt you. If you don't want Chen Qing to let people go, don't occupy the pit and don't" Liang Zi snorted calmly for Chen Qing, this stinky boy doesn't know what to think, obviously he likes it tightly, but he has to screw it, what can the big man have if he lowers his posture?
"Who said I was unhappy? Then he has to be willing to stay in this house!" Liang Zijun pulled his neck and roared, his feet as if they were rooted.
