Chapter 221: The aftermath lingers
Chen Yueya fell into deep thought and did not speak. She never figured out what happened to Lu Qingluan's desperate energy for love, she and Xie Jinbao have been close since childhood, childhood sweethearts, but they are far from reaching that level......
"Second girl, but Miss Lu made some embarrassing request. Mama Lin was afraid that Chen Yueya was young and deceived by others, so she was busy solving problems for her. Chen Yueya came back to her senses, threw Xie Jinbao behind her head, and said firmly, "She thought about it, but I didn't respond." I know what to do and what not to do. ”
"It's the old slave who is too worried, and the girl is doing a good job. Today, he has suffered injustice, but he has never been humble or silent, which is the style that everyone has. ”
"It's all Mama's work. Chen Yueya was telling the truth, if it weren't for Mama Lin being by her side, it is estimated that she would have exploded and pinched others. "However, the back house of the Zhao family is much lighter than I imagined, and there are no concubines and concubines. ”
The second girl laughed, there are many concubines and concubines in the Zhao family, and they can't count their fingers and toes. ”
"Ah?!" Chen Yueya was puzzled, "But I've been in the Zhao family for a long time, and I haven't met any of them." ”
"After all, the concubine and the concubine can't be on the stage. The housewife's family usually does not give the concubine a chance to show her face, and the guests come to the door, only let them stay in their own rooms, so as not to disturb the guests. "Mama Lin can't judge how Chen Yueya's husband's family will be in the future, but it is okay to talk about some backhouse methods appropriately, and let her learn a little in advance.
"That's the case, in vain I thought the Zhao family style was good. Chen Yueya thought about it. The only shining point of the Zhao family fell.
Qiao Lan didn't know how ups and downs her sister-in-law had in the Zhao family's primary school for half a day, and she had a very comfortable life in the Tang family's Zhuangzi. In addition to appreciating rare flowers and plants, there is also Tang Junqi, a fun little baby brother, surrounded by his brother and brother.
Tang Junqi looked round, the flesh was rolling, too heavy, Qiao Lan hugged him for a short time, so he could only hold his little fat hand and walk slowly, still not rubbing his tender and fleshy face twice. Tang Junqi didn't feel taken advantage of, because he also rubbed his "brother's" face. Although only once.
learned that Qiao Lan had two wolf dogs at home. When Qiao Lan said goodbye, Tang Junqi was clamoring to follow again, and was slapped twice by his father Tang Yuanqiu before he dared to restrain himself, but his big eyes quickly became mist. No one can bear to blame anyone who sees it. Qiao Lan's heart was soft. Squatted down and hugged him. He promised to invite him to the West Bank in a few days.
Tang Wenqiang wanted to give Qiao Lan some flowers and plants, but Qiao Lan politely refused, only saying that she had something to do in Lishan County. It's inconvenient, in fact, these flowers and plants are really nothing in her eyes, but in the eyes of others, they are very precious, and she really can't take them away for nothing.
He felt that Qiao Lan would accompany Chen Yueya to Lishan County, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to close the distance between them, especially to take Qiao Lan to his pepper field to have a look.
It's a pity that the servant who was arranged at the door of Zhao's house walked away for a while, and it happened that Qiao Lan sent Chen Yueya over and left, and failed to invite people into the door. After he found out, he went to the old firewood, but was told that Qiao Lan had just left on his front foot. When he heard that Qiao Lan had gone to the Tang family, he found the Tang family again, and then learned that she went to Tang Wenqiang's Zhuangzi instead of the Tang family's own family.
Lu Duojin persuaded the Zhao landlord to sit firmly at home and send someone to invite him, but the Zhao landlord felt that he had to go in person to be sincere, so he went to Tang Wenqiang's Zhuangzi without hesitation. When she arrived at the place, Qiao Lan had already left, and there was more than one way back to the county, which must have been staggered.
After going around and around, he didn't meet anyone, Zhao Landlord went home dejectedly, and only learned that Chen Yueya was humiliated in Qiao's house at night, and he couldn't help but feel that it was even more difficult to make friends with Qiao's family. Bao, who was supposed to be in charge of the overall situation, was counted, and Zhao Qingli was also held accountable, after all, she was the one who left the guests alone.
She has always been very well-behaved, when has she been scolded loudly, and she was so aggrieved that she cried, her personal girl was not angry, and she opened her mouth to spread out Zhao Junli's self-inflicted matter, and in the end, Zhao Qingli was punished for copying the house rules twenty times, and Zhao Junli was grounded for a month.
Qiao Lan returned to Lishan County, and was going to go directly to Zhao's house to pick up Chen Yueya, but saw Fang Xiaoyong at the city gate.
learned from Fang Xiaoyong that Chen Yueya was angry at the Zhao family, and left without even caring about people and etiquette, he was so anxious that he hurriedly followed Fang Xiaoyong to Hongsheng Restaurant, the largest restaurant in Lishan County. Pushing open the door of the box, I thought I would see a depressed and depressed Chen Yueya, but I didn't expect that people didn't take it seriously at all, and they were watching the tea ceremony performance with relish.
"Third brother, you're back, is it fun for the Tang family to be a Zhuangzi?" Chen Yueya smiled happily, after she came out of the Zhao family, she went shopping and bought a lot of things, and the haze in her heart had long since disappeared.
"There are a lot of rare flowers and plants, worth seeing, take you to see them another day. ”
"Okay!" Chen Yueya has been trapped for a long time, as long as she can go out to play, it doesn't matter where she goes.
Seeing that the people were fine, Qiao Lan patiently waited for the tea ceremony to end and send the people away before asking about the Zhao family. Chen Yueya talked about what she saw today, in her opinion, it was all interesting things, as if watching an opera, as for being wronged, she focused more on how Mama Lin tried to storm and how to deter those people.
She is still young, and her ideas are simple, maybe she didn't think deeply about what Mama Lin meant when she said "the class gate gets an axe", but Qiao Lan thought of it, she pressed the doubt in her heart, and listened to Chen Yueya finish the matter, knowing that the little girl did not suffer, she was also relieved.
Fortunately, Mama Lin is here, otherwise, Shan Hongxuan and Chen Yueya will fight with others, although they will not suffer losses, but I am afraid that there will be a lot of trouble in the future. Now the Qiao family has no foundation, and it is hard to fight with others, and it is still her own family that suffers, but she has written down this account.
"Mama Lin, thanks to you today. ”
"This is the duty of an old slave, and he should not be praised by his master. Mama Lin clasped her hands, placed them on her chest and abdomen, and blessed Qiao Lan slightly. Qiao Lan didn't notice her behavior until this moment, as if she was strictly enforcing a certain standard, as if there was a scale scale. The answer in her mind was about to come out, but she didn't intend to say anything.
After letting Mama Lin and Ye Feitian go down to eat first, and only the two sisters were left in the room, Chen Yueya told Lu Qingluan about it. was inexplicably loved by a little girl, Qiao Lan couldn't cry or laugh a little.
"Third brother, I'm afraid that she will do stupid things, it doesn't matter if she hurts herself, and it will affect you, or you should find a way to break her thoughts. "Before, when no one was around. Chen Yueya likes to call Qiao Lan her sister. She didn't change it, but once, she was almost listened to, and she changed it. Both before and after. They all only call Qiao Lan the third brother.
"This kind of thing. What can I do. The third brother is not a fairy, and he can't influence people's preferences. In this regard, Qiao Lan also felt nerve-wracking. Brain disease, it's not easy to treat, but Ya'er is right, if her brain is hot and she causes an accident, I can't get better, but what can I do?
"People say that you are too good in the Qiao family, you are so smart, you must be able to come up with a good way. Chen Yueya felt that her sister was very powerful, so she unconditionally believed that she would be able to do everything possible to overcome all difficulties.
"......" girl, it's not right to engage in a personality cult.
Afterwards, Qiao Lan learned the identity of Huang Chanjuan from Ye Feitian, she was the eldest daughter of the Huang family uncle in Lishan County. The Huang family in Lishan County is of the same origin as the Huang family in Wuli Town, and the Huang family is a branch of the Huang family, but the children and grandchildren of the Huang family in Lishan County are more powerful, so that the side branch is more prominent than the branch of the family.
In the evening, Qiao Lan called Mama Lin to her room, and asked her about the past, Mama Lin knew that the master would ask sooner or later, she did not hesitate, and she told her about her situation and discernment, she was the emperor to be edicted, Shangyi, in charge of etiquette teaching, and then because the first emperor looked at it twice, it was sent out of the palace early by the queen mother at that time, and the palace maid can go out of the palace is grace, but it is rare to go out of the palace at the age of twenty-two, the brother and sister-in-law at home are unkind, and mistakenly believe that others think that she is making a mistake and being degraded, and she is turned away, fortunately, she and the wife of the prefect of Wangzhou are old acquaintances, and they took her into the house, but later the prefect of Wangzhou was dismissed, and she returned to her ancestral hometown Tongzhou with the Lu family, and later gave the eldest lady of the Lu family as a dowry to Yao's house......
Mama Lin also took out the documents that she had been storing close to her and presented them to Qiao Lan, with Mama Lin's name Lin Youxian and her rank written on it, and it turned out to be a fourth grade, in addition to some spurs, the lower right corner is a red seal. Because it is a seal inscription, I can't see what seal is stamped for a while.
"Master Lu is naturally good, but he is too weak, and the old woman Lu asked the old slave to help more, but she was soft-spoken and helpless, and in the end she was ashamed of the old woman Lu's entrustment. Before meeting the master, the old slave felt that life was hopeless, and he had no desires and no desires, and he just wanted to live one day at a time. After meeting the master, the master's kindness touched the old slave's heart, and the master's cleverness also made the old slave admire. It is a blessing for the old slave to be able to enter the Qiao family and serve the master, but unfortunately, the old slave is old and frail, and I am afraid that he will not be able to be loyal for a few years. ”
Qiao Lan handed the paperwork back to Mama Lin, feeling that she should have been really disheartened, otherwise she would have a fourth-grade rank, and she would not be courteous anywhere, so why bend to a small house door to be a sprinkler and sweeper, thanks to Ye Feitian's vicious eyes, he left her behind, otherwise he would have missed such a jewel, "Mama Lin doesn't need to be presumptuous." People say that there is an old man in the family, and if there is a treasure. You are a living book of etiquette, and there will be many places where you will be needed in the future. ”
"Thanks to the master's refusal to give up, he must do his best and die. ”
The next day, Qiao Lan originally planned to visit Zhu Qishan, but because of Lu Qingluan's matter, she had to dispel the idea of sending it to the door, and invited Zhu Qishan to Hongsheng Restaurant for dinner, and Zhu Qishan happily went.
Xiao A and Eryi, who were stationed on the west coast sent by Zhu Qishan, sent him letters every once in a while, explaining in detail the growth of crops and rice fish on the west bank. Zhu Qishan really can't wait to see it, but he is busy with official business, and he really can't take a break, so he can only learn about it through the letters of his subordinates.
Although I already have an understanding of early breeding and rice field fish farming, but the principle is not known, Qiao Lan made an appointment, Zhu Qishan naturally wanted to go to the appointment, and the meal was still secondary, mainly to inquire about the situation on the west bank in detail.
Qiao Lan also wanted to get on the thick legs of the county commander, so she didn't hide it, and talked in depth about some skills and knowledge of breeding in advance and fish farming in rice fields, which made Zhu Qishan admire.
"Little Brother Qiao is really my lucky star. Thou shalt thou shalt thou shal Zhang Baihu will never do that again. ”
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, I wish the adults to be the nobles of the small life. ”
"Hahahaha, let's not talk about those imaginary ones. In short, if there is something to do, you can come to me directly, and I will definitely give you convenience within the scope of my ability. ”
Zhu Qishan felt that drinking tea was not enjoyable, and asked Xiao Er to send a pot of wine, Ye Feitian took the wine jug and walked to the table, about to pour wine, but Qiao Lan took the wine jug from him, personally filled a glass of wine for Zhu Qishan, and poured another glass for himself.
"I wish you a cup and a great success. Qiao Lan raised her wine glass and toasted, she didn't like to hear good words, Zhu Qishan smiled even more, "It's easy to say!"
After the third round, Qiao Lan was already slightly drunk, so she no longer actively toasted, "Speaking of which, I have something to discuss with adults here." ”
"Oh, you're waiting here. "If it were someone else, Zhu Qishan would probably turn his face, how could he still be in the mood to ridicule, but Qiao Lan entered his eyes, as long as the request was not too excessive, he would give this face!"
"The West Bank is so small, Xiaosheng wants to buy a few more acres of land to serve, I don't know if there is a large piece of land for sale in Lishan County. ”
Zhu Qishan was stunned, and immediately laughed, where is this kid making a request, he is simply here to send me political achievements!! "There are a lot of scattered good fields and good land, and they are connected into pieces, but they are hard to find." Later, I'll have someone sort it out and bring you the field brochures that are being sold for you to pick them slowly. Zhu Qishan said so in his mouth, but in his heart he was thinking about how to fool Qiao Lan into buying wasteland, and it must not be difficult to have the West Bank as a lesson from the past.
"Then thank you, sir. ”
"You're kind to me. ”
After wishing Qishan to be full of wine and food, he will meet the mansion of the county government, Lu Miaomiao complained that he drank in broad daylight, and waited for him to change clothes and wash. When she learned that her father-in-law had just eaten and drank with Gongzi Qiao, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurriedly asked about Mama Lin.
"The old man eats and drinks, and he can't bring an old lady there. "Zhu Qishan is confused.
"You came back late last night, I didn't have time to tell you, yesterday at the Zhao family's ......" Lu Miaomiao told him what happened in the Zhao family yesterday. When Zhu Qishan heard that his sister-in-law was criticized in the Zhao family, he just chatted with me for this, and the little girl didn't even say a word. "Against all opinions, the second girl of the Qiao family is also a powerful one. ”
"Ouch, Xianggong, that's not the point, I'm talking about Mama Lin. She must be a female official in the palace, and she has a higher rank than that grandmother. Faced with his daughter-in-law's vow and a look of ambition, Zhu Qishan was even more strange, "So what?"
"See if you can let Mama Lin come to our house, our family will definitely treat her well, if not, in the future, invite her to come to the house to raise Fu'er for a while, that is also excellent. "As for whether to let Mama Lin raise Lu Qingluan, Lu Miaomiao hasn't paid attention yet. Mama Lin is from Qiao's family, and her sister-in-law is worried about Qiao's son, but she is afraid that there will be trouble.
"Nonsense, Fu'er is only five years old. ”
"Five years old is not young! I think at the beginning, I ......" Lu Miaomiao began to grind and soak.
Annoyed, Zhu Qishan had to nod in agreement, but he only promised to ask Qiao Lan, as for whether it would be successful, he would say nothing. Mama Lin felt that her father-in-law was the biggest official in Lishan County, and others only had to obey, and if they didn't open their mouths, they would just open their mouths.
