Chapter 188: Femininity
"Although it is a niece, what kind of niece is it, the money for studying is willing to be provided to outsiders in vain, and she does not take her own cousin seriously, although her daughter is an outsider, but in the end she also went out from the threshold of the Jiang family, the ancestors know, and they will not spare these people, one by one, like a white-eyed wolf, today you see that she is developed, she doesn't know herself, and she doesn't know how to help her family. I'd rather choose Gao Zhi to pick, than look at my own family who is trampled on by outsiders, these days, there are always many such people-! ”
chattering, as if she didn't know how much to complain about, Qin Mo didn't feel anything in her heart, but she kept talking about it like this, and she just thought about it with a sigh of relief...
Turning his head to look at the daughter-in-law, he saw that the aunt had already turned away and went to the chicken coop, Qin Mo saw that this was the case, so he didn't bother to say.
My grandmother was still paralyzed on the bed, Qin Mo knew that her legs and feet were inconvenient, and she had become a stubborn disease, according to the modern medical techniques of the previous life, it was osteoporosis and brittleness, and she couldn't vigorously supplement calcium, and her body was too poor.
The last time I came here to see my grandmother, it has been two years, although Qin Mo always sends people to send things over, but he has not been able to visit in person.
The thinking of this era is different from inside and outside, and Qin Mo is reluctant to come and bother more.
The money, food, and supplements sent by the messenger were not by my grandmother's side, and I don't know if this daughter-in-law was delivering soup and water at the bedside
And I don't have the energy to monitor more.
The house where my grandmother lives is still so dilapidated, more dilapidated than two years ago, and a tiled house in the main hall in the middle is adding some materials.
The house where my grandfather and grandmother lived, it was stormy, and the wind was strong today, so I was afraid that the tiles on the eaves would collapse.
"Suqun. Is that you? Su Qun - ! ”
Suddenly, from the broken window, there seemed to be a hoarse voice with a moaning voice, Qin Mo was stunned.
That's Grandma's voice! She wanted to go in, but stood on the steps with a slight twist.
Suqun?! Isn't that the name of my own mother after this crossing?
Thinking about it, just standing on the ground like that, Qin Mo's nose suddenly soured.
I didn't go in.
"Giggles!" The aunt was still teasing in the chicken pen, feeding the chickens with a clay pot, Qin Mo knew that she was now asking the people around her from time to time about her deeds, otherwise she would not know about Qin Mo's donation to her aunt and Chen Gang's son to study.
He stayed there for a moment, then turned back again.
The carriage stopped on the road, but Xiao Tao looked a little blank when she saw Qin Mo beside her, so she helped Qin Mo go without saying a word.
Yan Youye kept following him without saying a word.
The coachman had been waiting for a long time, and when he got into the carriage, Yan Youye was holding the aloe vera leaf in his hand and was still squeezing it with his fingers to pound the juice.
The coachman whipped his whip and the carriage slowly opened.
Outside the window, the wind-drawn curtains of the car whirl and whirl.
Qin Mo fell into deep thought.
Since returning from my grandfather's house, no one has spoken in the car for three months, even Yan Youye, who has been talking a lot, is only sitting quietly at the moment.
Just concentrate on playing with the aloe vera...
Like a little boy, Qin Mo, who only watched it, wanted to be angry and laugh.
"Little Peach, I'd better take my grandmother to my side-!"
After a long time, the wind outside the window that opened the curtain also fell on Qin Mo's face, and Qin Mo pondered for a long time before saying this to Xiao Tao.
When Xiao Tao heard this, her body turned around, and her apricot eyes widened
"Girl, do you want to do this!"
After asking, he couldn't hear Qin Mo's answer, so he said to himself again
"You have to think about it, the rules of Linshui County are the customs of Yanguo, you are a granddaughter, but you have not heard of the granddaughter can raise her grandmother by her side, if the girl has no family, neither a field, nor an uncle to take care of, this grandmother can take over her granddaughter, you are a fresh practice in Linshui County, and the girl can also know that you and the second miss are daughters, Miss You have not yet reached the line, and you have not allowed others, the door to ask for marriage also depends on the woman's family background, It's really good for you to keep such a sick old man by your side, won't those people dislike it-! ”
What Xiao Tao said, Qin Mo didn't think about it.
It's just that I can't bear it in my heart.
"Xiao Tao, don't say it, I know your heart for me, but, you also saw my grandmother's appearance, my grandfather is also old, and my uncle farms alone, and I have to add a small one to support the two old, and their lives are also poor, and you have seen the house where you live today, with broken bricks and tiles. There are also old people living in it, how can you say that I can rest assured! ”
"Miss, you are like this, this is not at ease, that is not at ease, it is as if you are omnipotent, you can bear anything-!"
Xiao Tao pouted and complained, provoked Qin Mo chuckled, and pinched her cheeks sideways jokingly, sneering
"You girl-!"
Xiao Tao turned around, Yan Youye next to him had already stopped playing aloe vera before, and when Qin Mo accidentally turned his head to play with Xiao Tao, he found that the corners of his eyebrows were raised, and he was clearly smiling at Qin Mo, the bottom of his eyes.
I don't know why, his eyes were shining with a hint of crystal, and Qin Mo was a little overwhelmed when he saw it, and his hand that was playing with Xiao Tao was unnaturally put down.
Finally, he sat down in the carriage again.
It's just this move that made Yan Youye smile and turn his face away.
Back in Qinlu, it was already evening.
Linshui Qinzhou and Qinzhou sent a few grain shop account books, after the autumn harvest, is the most resold grain, so the grain shop every day out of the account, a variety of projects...
The farms, as well as the gambling houses, are also doing well.
The restaurant and the previous red makeup business slowly dragged on.
But Qin Mo didn't have the extra energy to manage and rectify it carefully.
After a day, Linshui was asking about expenses again
One day, Linshui was asking for the new paper and pen snacks in the fragrant school.
Qin Mo also approved it.
Then after the autumn harvest, the imperial court collects taxes, and the public grain is handed over, and Qin Mo Zhuangzi has many children, and the few must not be cooperated by the housekeepers everywhere, and the public grain is handed over everywhere.
After the farmland is taxed, it is the tax of the shop, thirty taxes and one, this is the above collection standard, a large amount of accounts to see after the autumn, and Yan You stayed up in the store for two nights, so he helped Qin Mo to look at the accounts.
But in the end, in the small place near the water in Qinzhou, even if he personally manages this account, he can still accept it, and it is estimated that if it is extended to all parts of the country in the future, I am afraid that Qin Mo will not be able to see it personally.
There are many projects, miscellaneous things to disturb, but at this time, I also took my grandmother over, and received Qin Lu, my grandmother is already sixty-three years old (the ancients got married early), and her lower body is paralyzed, and she can't get off the ground, and she can't help do anything.
It's just that they're all served by the girls.
Boil soup and send medicine, take tonic medicine every day, serve in front of your knee every day...
Sitting on the chaise longue in front of the court, the old man would also call Qin Mo Su Qun in a trance for a while, and Qin Mo mostly only felt a little desolate.
It's just that there are many shops in this hand, and they pay taxes every month, and something happened to happen in the chaos.
The official who came to collect taxes may have seen that Qin Mo had a gambling house where no owner had come forward, and he actually said that Qin Mo's shop had lied about taxes half a month later.
and wanted to arrest and confiscate the family property, this matter was a big trouble, and Qin Mo slowly understood it later.
That is, seeing that the back of this gambling house has no origin, and the income in the past few months has been considerable, there is also a gambling house on the other side of the city, and the boss of the house is a distant cousin who is the ambassador of Qinzhou Tea and Horse Division, so they are all doing business, and they are all in one heart, and seeing that the boss behind Qin Mo's gambling house has not shown up for a long time, he thought that he would be suppressed if he had no power.
For a period of time, the government came to raid the house and wanted to seal the storefront, and the momentum was fierce.
In the end, it was Yan Youye who came forward and wrote a letter to the Jingli Mansion, and found some connections in the capital, so the matter was stopped.
This trouble was also intermittent for two or three months, which consumed Qin Mo's energy a lot.
Fortunately, there is also Yan Youye's arm by his side, and because of this, Qin Mo has more trust and dependence on this young and upright son.
In the blink of an eye, winter came.
My grandmother also lived here for a few months, eating and raising supplements every day, and sure enough, she was in better spirits.
It's not like when I came just now, the person was skinny, and he was in a trance all day long, calling Qin Mo Suqun...
At the end of this autumn, it happened that Qin Mo was in time, he was already fifteen years old, and the woman and Lu would have the first coming-of-age ceremony, the mother used a hair comb to coil up her hair, and then coiled her daughter's head into a bun, but that day, Qin Mo had no mother, and finally borrowed his grandmother's hand to comb his hair into a simple bun, and fell into a horse bun, tied up his hair with a head rope, and a green jade hairpin was inserted obliquely on the top of his head. One end of the hairpin is in the shape of a hollow pear flower, which is simple but beautiful.
With water droplets and emerald earrings on her ears, her hair in a bun combed for the delicate appearance in the mirror, even the grandmother also smiled, holding Qin Mo's shoulder
"What a delicate beautiful lady, you, don't look like your mother, your eyebrows and eyes look like your father, only the chin is like your mother, your father is not good-looking when he is a man, but after giving birth to a daughter like you, this daughter looks very good-looking. Haha! ”
The grandmother held the wooden comb in her hand and looked at Qin Mo's appearance in the bronze mirror, but she couldn't help but laugh happily.
"Grandmother, what are you talking about!" Qin Mo listened to her words, but his tone was coquettish first, although the face in the mirror was not too ugly, but it was not beautiful, there was something more beautiful in that expression, demonic.
Yes, looking at Qin Mo's eyebrows, his eyes are like paint, bright as stars, bright as flowers of spring dawn, and there is a hint of gloom in the delicate corners of his eyebrows and eyes.
Although it is a little gloomy, it can be seen that the temperament is hard, and the character is upright, which is unique.
stared at the mirror, but sighed in my heart, finally, I still grew up, in this time and space, for so many years, I came over unconsciously. It's busy, and it's already time in the end.
"Ouch, but I'm shy, my daughter's family, I'll always be shy when I grow up!"
Sure enough, the grandmother took the wooden comb in her hand and smiled happily.
Looking at Qin Mo in a daze in the mirror, he smiled.
Qin Mo smiled and said angrily, "What did grandmother say-!" ”
But he didn't want to, and then the old man suddenly sighed again.
"Or is my granddaughter capable, she can buy so many businesses and support such a family-!"
Qin Mo was stunned.
In a blink of an eye, the old man raised his head and looked at the tall beams above his head, which was a good house in Linshui in Qinzhou, "I, I never dreamed that I would be able to live here before I entered the earth!" ”
"What-!" When Qin Mo heard this, he hurriedly turned around, and then went to obediently pinch his grandmother's leg on the outside of the chair, "Grandmother, you can live a long life, and it's not that I'm capable, it's just lucky!" ”
The old man just laughed, for a long time, but his eyes were a little bit of crystal, and he took the sleeve of his right hand to wipe his tears.
"If your mother is still alive. It's just a pity that I can't see this scene, my granddaughter is really capable, this is not nonsense, you see, this is Linshui, how many men in Qinzhou are inferior to you-! ”
The elegant bun, the beautiful green jade hairpin, the white butterfly spring flower wisp gold dress, Qin Mo's beauty, only Qin Mo himself can feel it.
The grandmother put the wooden comb and looked at the granddaughter in front of her and smiled with satisfaction.
It's just that Qin Mo himself is at the moment, but he has a sigh in his heart.
*
Speaking of Jilu, it was late autumn, and after the public grain was handed over, it was a small place in Qinzhou, and even the prefect above Qinzhou was amazed again, and the grain harvest in Qinzhou was naturally compared to it
However, it is better than other states and counties.
Especially in Qinmo Manor, this is not a matter of luck, Zhizhou has always known about this, but he didn't want this good news to be confirmed every year, and the prefect also paid attention to the grain harvest in Qinzhou every year.
The surrender is fast, and they are all full of catties, and the grain particles are also large, and the prefect is not in Qinzhou, how could he know about Qin Mo, that is, the person who came down to collect the public grain reported the completion of the following every year, and it happened that the political achievements of Qinzhou were too prominent, so the prefect also paid attention, this year was just heard, two years was attention, and three years was curious.
It's just that everyone can't figure out the identity of this Qin Mo, and they would never have imagined that the owner of the five or six granges under Qinzhou was just a girl.
Everyone only thinks that they don't know how big a rich man with status and status is behind this, and more people dare not speculate.
It's just that the governor of Qinzhou knows Qin Mo, and after reporting it, the prefect also knows, but he only knows that this person is a girl, but he doesn't know the true face of Lushan, and he is more admiration in his heart.
And Qin Mo didn't know anything about this.
She doesn't know how to open up her popularity.
*
After the winter, the atmosphere gradually became lively, there were two light snowfalls, Xiangxiang also got out of school, in two months is the New Year, Qin Mo asked the housekeeper to allocate silver from the treasury to make a batch of winter clothes and winter shoes for the people in the house, and the materials for Yan Youye are particularly better, after all, this is the son who is used to living a good life, and he doesn't want to respond to him.
It's just that the guy is very handsome and heroic in everything he wears. Wearing the clothes that Qin Mo paid for him, he was extremely proud, and he always showed off in the house.
After going to school, Xiangxiang was still naughty in the house in the past, but her age was not like that of a naughty boy when she was a child, and now she is wearing a pink single coat, covered with a plum blossom reeling silk jacket, a green skirt with crotch pants, and an apricot-red rabbit fur cloak.
With a carved silver bracelet on his hand, he is exceptionally well-behaved and rich. Qin Mo just wants to enrich the girl.
For Qin Mo, Xiangxiang is a younger sister in terms of seniority, but in fact, Qin Mo is not a mother.
The silver from all over the year was sent, and Qin Mo put part of it in the treasury and the other part in the money bank. Put away the money, just to have a good time in the middle of the month.
My grandmother had a happy day, and it was cold in winter, just outside the corridor pavilion outside, there was an open space and two winter flowers.
I burned charcoal here to eat the venison sent by the new mountain housekeeper to eat, and the venison was fresh and refreshing.
Qin Mo also ate this thing for the first time, and it tasted better than pork.
And it's a lot better...
Every New Year's Day, that is, the time for the state capitals and counties to give gifts and love.
Moreover.
In the second month of winter, Qin Mo bought a house for his aunt's family in Qinzhou, and bought another two acres of land, and sold the original land in Linshui County.
So he didn't stop selling the land over there.
The conditions in Qinzhou are better than those in Linshui. He bought land for his uncle and aunt in Qinzhou.
In the end, after so many years, I haven't helped them anything, and my aunt is right, and my grandfather has suffered with them.
In fact, scolding is nothing, Qin Mo is not afraid of being scolded, and although he is a relative, it is his duty to help you, and it is his duty not to help you.
It's just that my grandfather has to endure hardships.
also took money to Min Sheng's school.
calmed the anger of the eldest aunt.
After this aunt was helped by Qin Mo now, she really saw Qin Mo's whole face smile again, the house she bought for the Jiang family was a big house with a small garden at the back.
After buying a house, I have to buy utensils, go out and enter the door, and see Qin Mo again, isn't this aunt's face smiling? !
It's just that Qin Mo is too lazy to pay attention.
There is also a subordinate in the family, a man, who helps to do things in the house.
At the end of every year, Qin Mo has to pay for his relatives in each room first, and the third aunt of Linshui is almost ten taels of silver a year, and because he has just moved over, all aspects need to be added, Qin Mo gave twenty taels.
These ten taels and twenty taels of silver are also considered a lot of money in this dynasty.
But these relatives still look at the mountain and look at the mountain, comparing and going.
The mother's relatives are fine, but the relatives of the mother-in-law are red again.
You give more to this family, and less to that family.
Qin Mo didn't bother to care about these words.
The prefect and the governor of the state have to send people to give gifts every year, up to the old man and the old lady, down to the aunt and wife of the main house, there will be no one missing.
Qin Mo knows these laws of officialdom, and he is sophisticated, and he usually asks the housekeeper to run errands after approving the silver.
Or send money directly, some of them pick gifts to give, if it is not for these thoughtful, it will be done by one person, and if you want to open a shop in this place, it is almost a thorn and thorn.
It's just that these are all miscellaneous trivial matters, just explain them at the beginning.
On this day, roasting venison here, Qin Mo wore a silver neon red fine cloud satin embroidered acacia blouse, and a pleated skirt with scattered flowers and mist and green grass; The hair was tied in a light bun, the cloud temples hung down on the earlobe, and the small and delicate earlobe hung a moon-shaped bell ring.
Although the upper body is added with a lotus lotus-colored jacket. But it is still difficult to resist the beauty that emanates from the woman's body.
Four or five people gathered around the stove, Nian'er's wire was skewered with fresh meat skewers, the sound of roasting on the fire, and the smoke was white but with bursts of aroma, Xiangxiang held a grilled meat skewer in his hand, and his mouth was full of oil, but the light voice of everyone's laughter was around.
Xiao Tao rolled up one sleeve, and her mouth was scorched, but she still didn't stop eating
He still kept chewing in his mouth, revealing half of his smooth wrist and a bend of plain silver bracelet.
The venison roasted on the fire was fragrant and getting stronger and stronger, and the flavor spread in Qin Mo's nose, which could not be said to make people not want to feast.
It was as if all the pores on the body were all open freely.
The grandmother, who had the highest stool, looked at the uneven circle of people below, and there was her granddaughter inside, smiling contentedly and gently.
Qin Mo had just taken a skewer of meat from the grill of the stove, and was about to send it to his mouth...
For a moment, I saw a blue long sleeve with broken flowers flickering in front of me.
Qin Mo was stunned.
I haven't come back to my senses yet.
After a while, he saw a head full of black hair stretching out, and Qin Mo also felt strange, because he saw that his face was full of smiles.
I turned my head away, and I didn't know what the man was going to say...
However, just turned his head over, and saw the man's hand covering it, Yan Youye's hand was big, Qin Mo knew it.
Just when he wants to say something secret.
I didn't care about the meat skewers in my hands, so I pushed my ears through.
Then I heard the man laugh like a string of silver bells.
Qin Mo was puzzled, even more puzzled, and glanced at him.
Then, I heard him say, "You smell so good!" ”
Qin Mo was stunned when he heard this, and then he looked down at himself and looked at his body.
Lower your head and sniff your arm.
"Yes. The smell of this meat skewer has penetrated into the clothes? ”
After a moment, the man said another sentence out of tune, and coughed pretendedly
"I'm not talking about the smell of meat skewers, do you know the fragrance of women, haven't you heard of femininity-!"
Qin Mo's face changed suddenly, his whole body couldn't help shaking, three lines came up on his forehead, and the meat skewers didn't have time to eat, it turned out that this guy was looking for death today
