Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Reward Was Sent to the Wrong Person

The more Sun Xiujin thought about it, the more he smiled. Pei Qin is still here dreaming of this rich young grandmother, and the old Pei family over there has already sold her! Maybe it will sell for a good price! Even if Young Master Shen wants to accept her again, he has a marriage contract, see what she wants to do!?

Not to mention that young master, the son of the prefect can't make trouble, and he is the same!

Seeing that the person who was with Zhang Shiqian was not badly dressed, if he really wanted to sue them for marriage robbery and cheating marriage, Pei Qin's reputation in this life would be ruined, and it would be over!

After thinking about it, Sun Xiujin pretended not to care about wandering around the street, followed Zhang Shiqian and the two, and wanted to inquire about what kind of family affairs the old Pei family had set for Pei Qin, and who the other party was.

Zhao Junchao went to Taiping Town to buy soy sauce to see Pei Qin, and deliberately found the best clothes to wear.

Soon Sun Xiujin guessed Zhao Junchao's name from the conversation between Zhang Shiqian and the two, this Zhao Junchao can't be compared with Young Master Shen at all! She couldn't help but laugh. She is familiar with this person from the Zhao family, and with a name, she can go back and inquire.

When she came home in a good mood, there was still a smile on her lips.

Li Baoxiang stood outside and looked at a smiling flower planted in the yard, he promised this family affair, and he also saw Sun Xiu's side of serving flowers and plants, not as good as those daughters, but also more elegant than those rural village girls. Seeing Sun Xiujin come back, he bowed his hand to her politely.

Sun Xiujin bowed slightly, and was about to hide back in the house, when he thought of inquiring, his eyes turned and he came over to talk to him, "Do you recognize a person named Zhao Junchao in the county school?" A little sister of mine was engaged to him. ”

The two got married immediately, it all depends on the route of greeting relatives, and there are not so many rules in the countryside. Miao has always known that her daughter is unwilling and is not very happy with this family business, and when she took the initiative to talk to Li Baoxiang, the smile on her face deepened.

As soon as Li Baoxiang heard the person she asked, his face changed, and he suddenly became a little gloomy and ugly.

Sun Xiujin was puzzled, "Do you know this person?" Is there something wrong? My little sister is betrothed, but she doesn't know anything about him. ”

Li Baoxiang snorted coldly, "Didn't he marry Pei Wenli's family and become Pei Wenli's brother-in-law!?" ”

Sun Xiujin was surprised and became Pei Wenli's brother-in-law...... But that Zhang Shiqian is often with Pei Wenli, seeing that Pei Wenli went to the county school to take the Xiucai fame, and also took the silver to the county school, what he said to Zhao Junchao will not be fake!

"You and Pei Wenli's sister are friends?" Li Baoxiang asked her.

Sun Xiujin guessed that there should have been an accident between him and Zhao Junchao, so he hurriedly put away his surprised expression and said with a smile, "It's just an acquaintance, and I have said a few times." said that it was Zhao Junchao's fiancΓ©e, and he was quite proud of his words, so he asked more. He asked him tentatively, "Have you ever had a holiday with that Zhao Junchao?" ”

Li Baoxiang pursed his lips angrily, didn't say much, only said, "You'd better stay away from that proud little sister in the future!" ”

Sun Xiujin just made up two sentences to ask him about Zhao Junchao, and now that the words came out, she naturally smiled and nodded, "If you don't meet, you won't come and go!" Besides, the family is not together! "She has to think about it, Zhao Junchao is Pei Wenli's brother-in-law, but the object of his marriage is Pei Qin, what the hell is going on!?

The matter was properly discussed, and Li Baoxiang's family did not stay long, so they left.

Miao came over to talk to Sun Xiujin and persuaded her to marry with peace of mind, Li Baoxiang is polite and polite, and he is also a talent, and he is also a top-notch person at the bottom, and she will not be bad if she marries.

Sun Xiujin doesn't have the heart to listen to this now, she has already decided to get married, what are you talking about!?

Seeing that she looked a little impatient, Miao was also worried that she would talk too much, and she was in a good mood just now and thought that Shen Songming had become bad, so she didn't say more, and asked her what she wanted to eat at noon, so she called her daughter-in-law to cook.

Sun Xiu pondered for a long time, and slowly figured out the greasy inside. Li Baoxiang said that Zhao Junchao was Pei Wenli's brother-in-law, that is, last year, the old Pei family was engaged to the family, and he was talking about the family affairs of the big house. The family who set up a family heard that there were still people who were on an errand in the county office, and it was also very related, and some people talked about the reputation of the old Pei family, and they even made a good family.

After this family got married, Pei Wenli went down again, and he was admitted to show his fame. She had heard it at that time, and many people talked about it, Pei Wenli was able to pass the exam, and it was her in-laws who contributed to it.

Now it seems that everyone thinks that it is the daughter of the old Pei family's big house and Pei Wenli's sister who is married to Zhao Junchao, but in fact, it is Pei Qin, the eldest daughter of the second room. Pei Qin is too arrogant and fierce, the old Pei family is afraid that her rabbit will bite people in a hurry, so she united people and took the path of Wu County's order, so she didn't dare to come blatantly, so she quietly sold Pei Qin!

If it weren't for Pei Qin, who married the daughter of the old Pei family's big house, and there was no benefit, then why didn't the Zhao family let their own family Zhao Junchao go to the fame test, and help Pei Wenli!? That's because they married Pei Qin and had greater benefits waiting for them, so the Zhao family dared to take the risk of being disliked by Wu County's order and quietly helped Pei Wenli.

However, no matter what, since the old Pei family has started, it must be a certainty, and Pei Qin can't run away if he wants to! No matter how capable Pei Qin is, she is always the granddaughter of the Pei family, and the second Pei of the old Pei family is her father. Marriage events, the words of the matchmaker of her parents, she dares to be disobedient, it is unfilial. Then Wu County Order is not easy to say, and there is a Qian family who heard that it is in Fucheng!

As long as the Zhao family takes the marriage certificate and comes over to let Pei Qin marry, she must marry that Zhao Junchao!

Sun Xiujin hooked the corners of his mouth hatefully, then Zhao Junchao also looks flat-headed and straight-faced, even Li Baoxiang is not as good, look at Pei Qin, what else is there to be proud and rampant in the future! It's time for her rich young grandmother dream to wake up!

Pei Qin was explaining to Pei Qian, "You have a good memory, remember to prepare for the ceremony!" Sun Xiujin's, as well as the Feng family's. You don't need to prepare anything else, just pull the material and send it! ”

Pei Qian responded and asked her, "Sun Xiujin's piece of red satin fabric, the Feng family's side just two pieces of silk fabric, and six hundred yuan of gift money?" ”

"Then listen to you!" Pei Qin knew that she was well-mannered, and they were not short of a few hundred dollars.

Pei Qian wrote it down, and was afraid that it would be too late to get busy by then, so she said that she would prepare it first.

Pei Qin went to see the shop and took her with him.

A small shop with only one room, that is, it is quite deep inside, and some goods can be placed in the back, and at the corner of the main street, if the door is opened, it is very open. Pei Qin took a fancy to it at a glance, that is, the price was not low, seven hundred and fifty taels of silver, if it was not reduced, if you wanted to buy it, you could buy it, and if you didn't buy it, you could just buy it.

Pei Qian took a fancy to the other two, and there were two rooms in the back that could still be lived, and the price was 1,300 taels of silver, which was not cheap.

In the end, the two discussed, listened to Pei Qin, took out the silver ticket, and bought the small shop in the single room.

When she got home, Pei Qin fried the melon seeds with a five-spiced one, a green tea flavor, a caramel flavor, and a milky flavor, and took them to persuade her to fall in love with an old man who fried goods earlier. She made fried peanuts with sugar, and some people imitated them, so many people, only the old man fried the best, Pei Qin was ready to dig the foot of the wall.

The old man is still a member of the Chang family, he is helping people to fry dry goods, and when he saw several kinds of melon seeds taken by Pei Qin, he liked them very much, and tried them again and again, saying that he was good, but he could let him dance, but the old man disagreed.

"Uncle! You've been doing this all your life, and you've done it for others, and you haven't left anything behind in your own house! You follow me, as long as you do a good job, five years later, I will allow your family a shop, and then your family will also open a shop to buy fried goods! Pei Qin smiled and discussed.

When such a bait was said, Chang Laohan was stunned for a moment, which owner would do such a stupid thing!? Give the fried food shop to the subordinates who do the work!?

Pei Qin is not short of money, and he is willing, "I mean what I say!" ”

Chang Laohan hesitated, the old club treated him well, if he left like this, it would be a little unkind. But he has indeed worked for so many years, his son has married his daughter-in-law, his daughter is ready to marry a dowry, he has a grandson, and the family's life is also tight. As long as he follows Pei Qin for five years, he can open the same fried goods shop, and the whole family will have hope! But if he opened a speculation shop and did business with her...... When the time comes, everyone will definitely poke him in the back and scold him for having no conscience!

"Yuanyang County is so big, no one can monopolize the market! Besides, I don't just have this place in Yuanyang County! "These problems, here in Pei Qin, have never been a problem.

Chang Laohan looked at a few fried melon seeds on the table, as well as the drunkard peanuts that he had never made, thinking of the importance that Chang Yuanwai attached to their family, even Young Master Chang lived in their house, gritted his teeth and agreed. The old club already has someone who can take over him, and he is doing a good job, if he hadn't been in front of him, people would have taken the lead.

Pei Qin immediately signed a five-year employment contract with him, handed over the shop to his father and his wife to clean up, and she went home to prepare.

Pei Qian is also busy these days, and the cabbage in the field is ready to be harvested, and she is pulling Lu Hao to recruit a few more women to collect cabbage everywhere.

The ingredients for making spicy cabbage were already piled up at home, and every room was full. Three of the warehouses in the workshop were filled with cabbage, and they were all piled up on the roof.

Before Fang Hui had time to rejoice when she got the spicy cabbage, she was severely reprimanded by Fang Laoxiucai, and even Mrs. Fang lectured her, and she was annoyed. After a few days, thinking that the spicy cabbage could earn dozens of taels of silver a year, I came to the town to thank him.

Pei Qin didn't say much, Pei Qian didn't have a good face, Fang Hui didn't dare to stay long when she put down her things, saying that Feng Bo would come over again to invite her, so she went home and began to prepare to make spicy cabbage, thinking about making a fortune a year ago.

As a result, when it was time to harvest the cabbage, in addition to a few nearby villages, some villages in the mountains were all harvested by Pei Qian, and Fang Hui was annoyed. What does it mean to teach them the recipe, but buy all the cabbage!? Still don't let them do it!

Feng Shouxing persuaded her and hurriedly went out to harvest the cabbage.

Fang Hui was angry in her heart, and she could only complain and be angry at home. Pei Qin's side, after the hairpin, had already offended them, she opened her mouth to ask for a recipe for spicy cabbage, which not only made them hold a grudge, but even her mother's family was dissatisfied with her, and she couldn't even complain to her mother's house.

Pei Qian looked at the cabbage collected in the workshop, and asked Pei Qin for help in making ingredients, and the spicy cabbage workshop opened again.

The price of cabbage has risen little by little, but there are more people who eat radish and cranberry, so that these two vegetables have sold a lot.

Farther away, the Feng family also collected a lot of cabbage, and hurriedly began to make spicy cabbage.

Within a few days, the cabbage harvested at home was finished.

Pei Qian was busy here, Pei Qin came over to look at it, and couldn't stop nodding, "It's like that!" ”

is also in charge, Lu Hao has been serving as a guard for Pei Qian, otherwise those people will listen to her little girl, and how will they not fool her.

The cabbage in Linxian County, Shen Songming also found someone to watch over there, and when it was time to harvest the cabbage, he collected all the cabbage and pulled it to Taiping Town, so that he could make a difference.

A large cart of cabbage was pulled into the workshop, and Pei Qian looked at it with a smile on her face.

Pei Qin saw that the problem of the supply of goods was solved, and there would be nothing to do in the future, so he turned to the fried goods shop. The plaque that Zou Xing carved for her: fool melon seed.

She was just lazy to save trouble, and she couldn't afford her name, so she just called it.

Chang Laohan thinks that it is enough to call Pei Ji fried goods, and make it a time-honored brand, fool...... Melon seeds, the name sounds ridiculous.

Pei Qin would listen to him, the shop had not yet opened, and the big plaque was hung up brightly, and there was no red cloth or anything to cover it.

Such a name came out, and in less than two days, most of the people in Yuanyang County knew that on the corner of the main street, there was a fried goods shop that was about to open, and the name was actually called Fool Guazi, which was really laughing to death.

Chang Laohan was greeted by someone he knew before, and asked him to be a master in a fool's melon, his embarrassed old face turned red, and he decided to persuade Pei Qin to change the name of the fried goods shop.

Pei Qin was unwilling, "Just call it like that!" Let's see how it goes! If Feng Shui is really bad, it's not too late to change it! ”

The shop is small, and there are only melon seeds to prepare, and peanuts are added later, but in three days, the shop will be opened.

Master Chang also came to congratulate him in person, and bought 20 catties of several melon seeds to take care of the business.

The Wang family also sent stewards over.

Many people came around to see what fools and fools looked like, and they came around when they were idle.

There are free tastings here in the shop, and if you come to line up, you can grab a few to taste.

The old melon seeds before are different from this taste, the melon seeds still have the flavor of green tea, caramel, and even milk, the taste is very good, I bought a small pack of them and went home to try them.

Chang Laohan plus his son, even his twelve-year-old grandson came to help, plus Pei Qin, they couldn't be busy.

The melon seeds prepared on the opening day were sold out at once, and the few twenty catties that the regular staff wanted were gone, and they had to be fried separately.

The regular staff is to take care of the business, and let it be fried for him before the year.

Those big families have tasted it, and they all want to come and order some and eat it during the New Year.

The teahouse and restaurant also looked at it, and wanted to buy the recipe for fried melon seeds, but the person who opened the shop was Pei Qin, so don't think about buying the buyer's matter, or buy her melon seeds to take care of the business and make profits from each other!

Qian Wanxiu's silk shop is separated by two streets, and a family of four with maids and maids all live in the courtyard rented by the county. Seeing that Pei Qin also opened a shop, although it was only a small piece of land on the corner of the street, she actually opened a shop. What a fool and grandstanding!

But after a few days, looking at the business of the fool's melon seed shop, it has always been hot, and her face can't get better.

Chang Laohan thought that the new shop would have to be guarded for a while before the business could be guarded, but he didn't expect that the business was hot as soon as it opened, and he was too busy to touch the ground, so he had to call the old wife and daughter-in-law at home to come to the shop to help, so that everyone who bought melon seeds lined up and came slowly.

The business here was stable, Pei Qin sent melon seeds and fried peanuts twice to the county government, and then went home to harvest autumn sweet potatoes.

The autumn sweet potatoes of each family are ripe, and it is really time to grow, and wait, the weather is cold, it snows, and the sweet potatoes are going to freeze.

Although some people have planted summer sweet potatoes, they are still worried, and they all look at Pei Qin's family. Seeing that their family began to dig sweet potatoes, they shouted to harvest sweet potatoes and got busy.

Sweet potatoes were dug up in chunks and piled up in the ground, and those planted in large quantities were piled up into mountains. There are also people who make flakers directly, and they shave sweet potatoes into slices in the field and dry them in the ground. The place at home is small, and the sun is not as good as in the field, so after this is sunburned, you can pull it to grind the noodles to satisfy your hunger.

The yield of sweet potatoes in each family is not low, and there are more sweet potatoes planted in autumn than in summer, which can be regarded as a success. Especially the Wang family and the Chang family, the family has 200 acres of land, although it is a medium field, but the sweet potatoes are not picky, they are all bumper harvests.

Wu Dongsi is in a hurry! I'm waiting to report the performance!

Pei Qin sorted out the number and sent it to the county office.

After Wu Dongsi read it, he immediately polished the excerpt again, asked for a reward for Pei Qin, and a letter to Shen Ge Lao, begging him for his own future. Hurry up and send it up.

Meng Dinglun didn't dare to stop it, so he immediately expressed his support and handed the folds up layer by layer.

The matter of planting sweet potatoes was started by the Shen family, and few dared to stop it. Because Shen Bi also knows it.

Shen Songming also asked Pei Qin for a number, and gave it directly to Shen Bi, wanting to fight for a bigger reward for Pei Qin, with this reward, it would be much easier for him to marry Pei Qin!

The Shen family knew that it was an unmarried girl's family who planted sweet potatoes, and when they saw Shen Songming doing his best for her, how could they not guess his thoughts. Mrs. Shen's grandson is **, and she didn't like this grandson who was not very brilliant before, but after he was cured from a serious illness before, this grandson became likable and filial. Thinking that his two fiancΓ©es had gone, he had lost the reputation of a wife, and his fame was no longer examined, but he went to play business, and he felt even more partial to him.

Shen Songming was working hard over there, asking Shen Bi to strive for a bigger reward for Pei Qin, and here Mrs. Shen called her eldest son to explain the situation. Shen Songming really likes that girl, give a reward, and it is okay to be admitted to the mansion, but he must not delay the big event of marrying a wife. A bereaved eldest daughter, a country girl, can enter the gate of their Shen family, and her ancestors have accumulated virtue!

Mrs. Shen received a letter from her younger siblings earlier, the Shen family has many brothers, only Shen Bi and Shen Gu are siblings, so one of the two concubines is at home as a clan wife to preside over the feed, and the other is serving her husband outside, and the age difference is also big, and the relationship is better than the ordinary concubine relationship.

Shen Bi listened to the old lady here, and Mrs. Shen said that her younger brother and sister were worried, afraid that Shen Songming, who had become more and more unreliable in the past two years, would mess up, and was ready to suppress the matter, he also happened to have a corruption case involving a wide range of people to deal with, and the end of the year was also the busiest time for the Criminal Department.

The entire Yuanyang County is waiting for the reward from above.

Because of Shen Songming, the Shen family is powerful, so I still believe it. Although the reward is for Pei Qin's sister and brother, the entire Taiping Town and Yuanyang County will become famous!

The people of the Zhao family are very anxious, don't wait for the reward to come down, the old Pei family directly denies this family business. I also asked Pei Zongli to discuss the marriage date, saying that next year, Zhao Junchao will not be bad, and the Pei family will marry Pei Qin to their family, and it will not be a loss!

Pei Zongli was not at home.

No one paid much attention to it, Pei Zongli was not at home, not even in Yuanyang County. Qian Wanxiu only said that she had gone to buy the goods, and the business of the silk and satin shop was good a few years ago, and there were many goods needed, but the inventory was not enough.

As the days passed, the spicy cabbage was finished, Pei Qian breathed a sigh of relief, and began to pay attention to the matter of the reward, "Brother Songming said okay, there will definitely be a big reward!" I just don't know what this reward is for!? Isn't it rewarding us with some gold? ”

"What's the use of asking for gold?" Pei Qin glanced at her.

"Why is the gold useless, although we can eat and dress warmly now, but compared with the Qian family, we are still short of money! Fight with them, we don't have the money to fight!? Pei Qian glared.

"I don't like it to be gold! I hope it's something else! Give us a family heirloom! In this way, we can pass it on from generation to generation! Pei Qian yearned. That's glory!

"Family heirlooms too, and gold is better to give too!" Pei Qian is more greedy, and she wants to be their good things!

"That's it! Don't think about it! It's what comes down! Pei Qin stood up.

A few people looked at her like this, but they noticed that she cared. Sweet potato seedlings they gave to the villagers to plant almost in vain, cut their own sweet potatoes into bald, taught over and over again, it's time to turn the seedlings to remind, harvest sweet potatoes also remind, teach those people how to eat sweet potatoes, how to eat sweet potato noodles. In the past two years, the eldest sister has put a lot of effort into planting sweet potatoes.

Mo Heng took the comparison table of simplified and traditional Chinese characters he wrote for advice.

Pei Qin read it once, and she remembered it more clearly than she remembered, "I don't know about the rest, you have to make it yourself!" "She is not a liberal arts student, and she usually types on a computer, so it is not easy to remember so many words. Let her write the chemical formula, she can list a book, but unfortunately it is useless!

Mo Heng silently guessed her origin, and suddenly said, "When will the reward for sweet potatoes come down?" ”

"I don't know." Pei Qin replied to him, "Shen Songming said, it will be a year ago, and the printing will be delayed until the next year at the latest." ”

Mo Heng wanted to remind her not to wait any longer, seeing that she believed Shen Songming's expression, she didn't say much. She also wants to marry Shen Songming, right? It's just that how could she be willing to be a small ......

Looking at her white and delicate little face, Mo Heng felt that he should go, but he was reluctant in his heart, thinking that if he waited, she still had troubles to solve.

Pei Qin came to tell him about the printing of the dictionary, and the regular staff asked people to print 200 sets, and now they have all been given away, if the response is good, more will be printed during the New Year, and there will be money to be made by then. Anyway, he is not in a hurry to leave, he can wait a little longer. As a result, I forgot to say, milked the goats and went home.

Mo Heng had already heard about this from Pei Wendong and Alan Chang, and quietly watched her milk the goat, and left with her, "Feng Wei!" Send the letter out! ”

Feng Wei didn't want to say anything, opened his mouth, closed his mouth again, took the letter he handed over, and sent it out quickly.

Fang Hui and Feng Shouxing came, holding meat and snacks, and came to invite Pei Qin's sister and brother.

Pei Qin greeted a meal.

Fang Hui heard that a large number of cabbages had entered the workshop, and they were about to be fried, but she still had to accept their love and remember their kindness, but now she didn't say a word about spicy cabbage.

Pei Qian just wanted to ask, "How many spicy cabbages did your family make this year?" My family accidentally made a little too much this year, so I could only sell it in Fucheng and Linxian. We don't plan to sell it in Taiping Town, so let's sell it to you! ”

Fang Hui was very angry in her heart, but she still had to thank her with a smile. When he came out, he pulled his face and hated all the way.

"That's it! Hui Niang! You weren't happy when you didn't give a business, but now you can make a spicy cabbage, why are you angry! We want this, they must be unhappy, and they will say two words! Feng Shouxing felt that she was too angry, so it was true to say more good things and maintain her mother's side well.

"You're still talking about me!? If it weren't for me, this spicy cabbage would have been made for us!? I gave it all, and secretly made a stumbling block, what kind of heart did I press!? Or don't give it in the first place! Fang Hui was annoyed.

Feng Shouxing saw her like this, and he didn't persuade her anymore, and went back to work on his son's marriage.

The relatives in the family were all invited, and within two days, it was the day of Feng Bo's marriage.

Pei Qin's sister and brother got up as usual, finished exercising, had breakfast, packed up the house, took the ceremony, and drove the donkey cart to Fengjiazhuang.

Fang Liuming hasn't had a holiday yet, he took a day off with Pei Qin's sister and brother, and went by car together.

When the people of the Feng family saw Fang Liuming and Pei Qin's sister and brother coming over, they were all a little unhappy with their smiles.

However, Fengjiazhuang is envious of Fang Hui's family, Feng Bo worked as an errand in the county shop, and married a daughter-in-law with a good family, more than 20 acres of land do not have to pay taxes and grains every year, Pei Qin also taught them to make spicy cabbage.

Relatives from all sides arrived, Feng Bo saw that although Pei Qin was smiling, he was not enthusiastic, and he rode a donkey in a red groom robe to greet his relatives.

Although Pei Qin likes to be lively, the Feng family doesn't want to make up for the excitement, so he sits with the people of the Fang family in a proper manner, adds things, eats the banquet, and waits for someone to leave. Alan Chang didn't come, but he was alone at home.

When she got home, Pei Qian still complained a little that she took two good ingredients and brought so much gift money.

Pei Qian said a few words to her, and took out the materials for Sun Xiujin, "Although there are still some days, but when it comes to the day of adding boxes, we still send them earlier, and it will save trouble!" ”

Pei Qin asked her to watch and do it, and left these things to her.

After November, it became even colder, and a heavy snow fell and covered the ground.

Seeing that the days were passing day by day, Shen Songming's letters came twice, both of which told her not to be in a hurry, and she was discussing a reward. Pei Qin noticed that this reward was not so easy.

Wu Dongsi was also anxious, and changed into civilian clothes, and asked Pei Qin if he had received Shen Songming's letter and what he said about the reward.

Pei Qin told him the truth, let him wait.

Wu Dongsi counted the days, it was time to come down, if he didn't come down again, and when the imperial court sealed it, then there would be no hope for this year, and he could only wait for next year.

The days of waiting were not easy, and as the days passed, Fang Laoxiu also came to ask twice.

The above reward finally came down, but what was jaw-dropping was that the reward was not given to Pei Qin's sister and brother, but to the old Pei family.

"Damn! What's going on? The reward was sent to the wrong person!? Pei Qin jumped to his feet.

------Off topic------

I still have to go out tomorrow to run, and when I come back early, I will make up for what I owe.

T
