69. Exposed
Chen Qing was really a little tired this half month, in addition to eating, drinking, and embroidering in the firewood room during the day, he had to deal with the wild ox plowing the land at night.
If Chen Qing weren't really tired of Liang Zijun's comparison of that matter to ploughing the land, he wouldn't have worked as hard as he is now, not only having to sit with his waist straight and embroider, but also endure the discomfort of itching and swelling inside.
"Uh~" Chen Qing raised his head and rubbed his neck, twisted his uncomfortable ass again, gritted his teeth and endured the desire to pull out the jade, lowered his head and continued to thread the needle quickly.
The one in Chen Qing's body is the third jade pillar with the thickness of two fingers. The one with the thickness of the little finger was broken, and the thumb couldn't hold it for a few days before it slid down, so I had to get thicker and thicker.
The benefits of containing jade during the day are obvious, and Liang Zijun will be wet and muddy at night with just one touch, which also saves Chen Qing a little pain. He was so happy that he stayed inside and didn't want to come out, and afterwards he secretly acted night after night, just as the credit for secretly putting him in at night.
Liang Zijun didn't dare to point it out, Chen Qing didn't have the face to mention it, and the two of them didn't know, secretly delighted and sighed.
It wasn't until the last day of the construction period that the embroidery of the spring garden was completed, that Chen Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, packed up the basket and stepped out of the hospital, and ran into Brother Yang, who was looking for him.
"What are you busy in the yard of Tmall today? Zijun didn't let you bother, only said that you had work to do, didn't you help Zijun embroider in the cloth workshop?" Li Pingyang pulled people to chatter, and he didn't see Chen Qing show up for half a month.
"You...... How did you know I could embroider...... No, you mean Zijun has a shop in the county?" Chen Qing looked frightened, his heart was pounding, it couldn't be what he thought, right?
"Yes, he didn't tell you?oops~ It's Liang Ji Cloth Workshop, isn't your embroidery work sent to the shop?...... Oh~ I know, is it a cat embroidering clothes for her husband at home and embarrassing to show me? What is there to be embarrassed about sewing clothes for my husband? I just don't have good craftsmanship, or Zixian has to embroider everything on my novice!" Li Pingyang slammed into him with a wicked smile.
Chen Qing felt as if he had been struck by lightning, Liang Ji Cloth Workshop was Liang Zijun's shop, and all the coincidences before him were not deliberately arranged by him?
It's not right, according to Liang Zijun, he didn't know that he could embroider before, so was it a coincidence or did he deliberately bump into Liang Zijun in the cloth workshop to break the siege......? It's not right, no matter how bad he is, he won't damage his reputation and smash his own signboard......
Chen Qing was stunned and analyzed, and Brother Yang pushed him violently and called "Hey...... Chen Qing...... What are you doing? Surprise me, and you've lost your soul!"
"Oh, I'm going to get into my mind, I'm sorry!" Chen Qing scratched his head in embarrassment, pausing his thoughts.
"Oh, yes. I heard Zixian say that Zijun's shop is managed by the shopkeeper to the outside world, and he doesn't come forward. Even if you know, don't go out and talk nonsense, so as not to cause trouble for Zijun" Brother Yang suddenly remembered Zixian's explanation, and hurriedly told Chen Qing. Later, he smiled and said, "Look at me, if you don't understand something, just ask Zijun, what am I in a hurry here!"
"Thank you for telling me, this job is indeed going to be sent to Liang Ji, so I won't talk to you more, I'm still in a hurry" Chen Qing smiled reluctantly, and his heart was quite unpleasant.
"Then you go, I guess maybe you can meet Zijun" Brother Yang waved his hand, and sent away the talent to secretly annoy, he wouldn't make a big mouth to provoke the two to quarrel, right?
Chen Qing didn't figure out whether Liang Zijun deliberately made it bad until he walked into the Liang Ji Cloth Workshop, or happened to catch up with the accident, but no matter how he thought about it, Liang Zijun was the most likely to deliberately pick bad materials. But this doesn't explain why he openly damaged his own reputation, is it just to make things difficult for him and teach him a lesson? No matter how you look at Liang Zijun, he doesn't look like such an ignorant person.
Chen Qing's preoccupied appearance fell into Liu Hengshan's eyes, and he was worried about whether he could finish the embroidery, so he hurriedly explained, "If you can't finish embroidering, you will lose a few taels of silver at most, and you can't hurt your body for money."
Chen Qing came back to his senses, shook his head with a smile, handed the embroidery to the shopkeeper Liu for inspection, and then looked towards the second floor, "Liang ...... Is Zijun coming over today?"
"I came early in the morning, and I was talking to the big shopkeeper in the box on the second floor of Zhengwo," Liu Hengshan replied.
"Then I'll go upstairs to look for it, but it will get in the way of the big shopkeeper?" Chen Qing frowned.
"I guess it's okay, you go upstairs to find a guy to help you know" Liu Hengshan looked at the embroidery carefully, and if he didn't find a problem, he directly instructed the guy to send it to be framed quickly.
Chen Qing got the pointing, hurriedly pedaled upstairs, and found a guy who was about to knock on the door, when he saw the box door open, the original second shopkeeper came out with a snort, and saw Chen Qing with a gloomy face, brushed his sleeves and went downstairs.
Chen Qing saw that there were no outsiders in the house, Liang Zijun was hiding something in his arms, and curiously pushed the door to enter, "What is in your arms?"
"Hehe~ I was wearing a small piece embroidered in the store a few days ago, and it happened that I was left behind to help you do things that day, no, the second shopkeeper pleaded with me today, but he didn't have to leave in a bad mood!" Liang Zijun shook his head with a smile, patted his chest, and smiled at Chen Qing and said, "You wear it to me at night, and it's not in vain that you run this trip again."
"I'll take a look" Chen Qingfeng raised his eyebrows slightly, always feeling that that thing was not a good thing.
"I'll know at night" Liang Zijun smiled mysteriously, and said, "Don't be busy taking on new jobs first, first sew two sets of clothes for me that you promised me"
"Why do you want me to delay the work to sew clothes for you?" Liang Dongjia?" Chen Qing asked coldly.
"......" Liang Zijun paused, and laughed at the moment, "I actually let you find out, I wanted to tell you in a few days, but I didn't mention it first when you were busy, who did you hear it from?"
Chen Qing frowned, Liang Zijun's frank appearance didn't seem to be a fake, isn't it really a coincidence?" "Brother Yang is suing me today...... That one...... Did you touch the wooden box when you went into the firewood room that day?"
"Hmm, wooden box, you mean the low table on the kang, I really didn't pay attention, what's wrong?" Liang Zijun thought for a moment before suddenly asking.
"Oh, nothing...... Then did you find someone who deliberately picked on the bottom material?" Chen Qing continued to talk, carefully observing Liang Zijun's facial expression.
"No...... It is estimated that no one will have this motive except for the second shopkeeper, but we have no evidence and cannot falsely accuse him, so we have to demote him and wait for him to resign automatically. I guess he has already found a home, but I don't want to give up the connections that have worked hard in Liang Ji for many years, today I rejected him, I guess I will have to quit tomorrow" Liang Zijun touched his chin and analyzed, and finally looked up at him in disbelief and shouted, "Don't you doubt me!"
Seeing that Chen Qing pursed the corners of his mouth and was silent, Liang Zijun lowered his face and lowered his voice: "This shop is all mine, am I guilty of self-destruction signs? Besides, what is the benefit of me picking your embroidery? Can you give me money or what? Not to mention, I didn't know that you had this craft before, and even if I knew, I couldn't make a mistake to make a living for the sake of conditioning! I just did it in your eyes?"
Chen Qing tilted his head solemnly to look at him, and finally had to bow his head and say sorry in a muffled voice.
Liang Zijun snorted and got up and left, and before leaving, he glanced at him fiercely, and warned, "Next time, I dare to frame my husband, see how I pick you up!"
Chen Qing shrunk his neck and moved his shoulders uncomfortably to relax his tense muscles, maybe he really wronged him? This damage may really be done by the second shopkeeper.
Liang Zijun let out a big breath as soon as he got out of the box, damn, if he hadn't practiced this lying ability for many years, he would have to show his face today. Liang Zijun didn't dare to do this kind of damage anymore, and silently decided to flee the scene in his heart.
In front of those black and white eyes, Liang Zijun was obviously more stressed when he lied, but fortunately, Chen Qing was only suspicious, and he pushed the matter to the second shopkeeper, otherwise once it was exposed, Chen Qing would have trouble with him for a while, and it would affect his tall and decent image in his heart.
As soon as Chen Qing went down to the second floor, Shopkeeper Liu took a cloth bag and handed it to him with a smile, "The third master just cut two sets of clothes, and said that you should take them back when you leave." I usually take it away when it's done in the store, but now I'm afraid I want you to sew it yourself, which saves the effort in the store."
"He just wants to save his wages!" Chen Qing snorted and took it, disdainful of sarcasm.
"You baby, not to mention that you still have some skills, even if the farmer's daughter-in-law is poor, she should sew clothes and shirts for the masters, how can you know that you want silver in your mouth?" Liu Hengshan scolded him with a smile, and Chen Qing, who was ashamed, hurriedly picked up the cloth bag and ran.
Sure enough, it was right to choose to conceal it at the beginning, looking at this posture, I am afraid that Uncle Liu will have to be the same as his aunt, as soon as they meet, he will teach him to be conservative and upright, to make clothes and warm quilts for the masters, to have babies early, etc., etc.............
Please, he's a gentleman, okay? Even if he's used to being pressed, his psychology is still not forced into a brother! Why should he have a baby in the left sentence?
When Chen Qing got home, he angrily threw the cloth bag into the closet, changed his clothes and ran to his second sister-in-law's house to bring the rice soaked yesterday to the big stove.
Today is Laba Festival, and every household has to make Laba porridge to drink. This Laba porridge is also called "Qibao Wuwei Porridge", also known as Babao Porridge, the inside is "full of five flavors", "Babao" contains auspicious meaning, and in the five flavors, the bitter taste contains a place, compared with the eight treasures, representing the poor and Laba Festival is closely related.
After boiling Laba porridge, the courtyards gathered in the main hall for a reunion dinner. After this Laba is over, there will be another half moon to the beginning of spring, and after the festival, Chinese New Year's Eve, and Spring Festival, it is the beginning of a busy new year.
Chen Qing had already predicted which crops would be planted in the three acres of dry land, and the seeds had been prepared, and the seeds in the vegetable fields were all picked and left with full grains, so that they could plow the land for spring ploughing as soon as the Qingming Festival passed.
When he returned to the courtyard in the evening, Chen Qing first heated the low couch and lit a charcoal basin to expel the cold in the house. A copper kettle was placed on top of the charcoal basin, and the incense was steaming hot.
Brew a pot of tea, then add charcoal to the hand stove and hand it to Liang Zijun, and then fetch water and mix it with hot water to scald the feet of the owner.
Liang Zijun enjoyed the ultimate service like an uncle, and sat up straight and knocked on his shoulder, Chen Qing immediately stood behind him like a little daughter-in-law and pinched his shoulders and beat his back. After washing his feet, he didn't need to be instructed, Chen Qing took out a cloth towel again, squatted down and dried it for him.
"......" Chen Qing's puppy-like black eyes were full of grievances, and he wanted to speak and stopped, silently enduring bullying.
"Ahem...... Forget it, I won't care about you today, next time I have something to ask you directly, don't think about it in your heart" Liang Zijun sat cross-legged on the couch and hooked his hand at Chen Qing.
Chen Qing leaned over rubbingly, and only dared to hit half of his ass on the couch with low eyebrows. Liang Zijun touched the stiff back and secretly laughed, this person's soft appearance is really special, he would rather do enough work than be instructed to say the first half of the soft words.
