"You." Qiao Congwei raised his hand and wanted to point to his beard, but he was afraid that he recognized the wrong person, so he stopped in the air and put it down.

The man subconsciously touched his chin and looked at her, and a familiar voice came, "It's not good-looking"

Qiao Cong'an was sure that the person in front of him was Huai Shan, with sharp edges and corners outlining his appearance, with some shadows from his childhood, what could not be concealed was the vicissitudes of life that had been precipitated over the years, looking at him intently looking at himself, Qiao Cong'an panicked for no reason.

"Nope." Joe said from looking away.

Huai Shan touched his chin again, or when Yiyao and Ying Zhu came over two days ago, they asked themselves to shave their beards, and they said that the second brother was also a great joy when he got married, and he had to change his appearance.

"I don't even recognize myself." Huai Shan smiled bitterly, he had stayed for so many years, and when he looked in the mirror after shaving, he almost couldn't recognize the person in the mirror.

"I didn't recognize it just now." Huai Shan saw Qiao Cong'an smiling, the corners of his eyes revealed some happiness, and his mood suddenly relaxed.

"You go to the front hall to block the wine for Dusk Yuan, the three of the Wang family, I'm afraid I don't want him to go back at night." Joe walked past him from Anguan.

Huai Shan turned around, as if there was something different, and he couldn't say much

Early the next morning, Chu Duyuan and Wei Chuyue got up early and went to the ancestral hall dedicated to Master Chu and Mrs. Chu to serve them incense and tea, and Wei Chuyue's Chu family life really began.

Chu Yiyao said that he wanted to give Chu Duyuan a big vacation in March, and it was best to give birth to a child early to make the Chu family more lively, so he took over all the things in Chu Duyuan's hands, and June, July, August and March were quite free.

Returning to the door on the third day, Chu Duyuan accompanied Wei Chuyue to the house where he got married before, Wei Chuyang waited at the door early, and saw his brother-in-law helping his sister get off the carriage, the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be hidden, and his sister finally got married.

Welcomed into the house, Wei Chuyang had almost cleaned up, and he was going back to Hongdu after returning to the door in three days, and there were still many things in the shop.

Chu Duyuan knew that his sister and brother had something to say, so when they got outside the house, they left the two of them alone, while he stood in the yard, looking at the sky in the distance.

Inside the house, Wei Chuyang saw that his sister's face was good, and he was much more relieved, "Sister, I will go back early tomorrow morning, you live a good life with your brother-in-law here, don't worry about me, there is Lan Po at home." ”

Wei Chuyue felt that her younger brother had grown up all of a sudden, especially in the past two years, she had become more sensible, she should have felt happy, but the thought of leaving him alone in Hongdu made her heart faintly sad.

"Don't work too hard, you're young, if people don't accept you, don't be in a hurry, our Wei family is also an old business, if you have something, go to Uncle Lan and them, don't be strong alone." Wei Chuyue touched his head and asked.

Wei Chuyang nodded, "Sister, the Chu family is simpler than many families, you have to give birth to a child for the Chu family earlier, so that your father and mother will rest assured that they will have a few more." ”

Wei Chuyue knocked him on the head, and his eyes widened, "You treat me as a pig?" ”

Wei Chuyang looked at her posture when she was arguing with the aunt in the opposite shop, and said with an old-fashioned education, "Sister, now you are the second young grandmother of the Chu family, don't put on such a posture again, I have heard what people have said, this woman should be gentle and virtuous, look at Mrs. Chu." ”

As soon as the words fell, Wei Chuyang was slapped by her again, and Wei Chuyue's words in a low voice came from his ears, "Yes, you will marry a gentle and virtuous lady in the future, don't be like your sister and me." ”

Wei Chuyue glanced at him and changed the topic and said, "Don't be hippie and smiley, after you go back, you will finish the affairs of the Qi family first." ”

Hearing this, Wei Chuyang's expression became serious, and he nodded, "Sister, don't worry, I won't let them take my mother's things." ”

Wei Chuyue was also relieved of him, and added, "I got married, and I threw everything back when they sent it, and my mother had nothing to do with them for a long time." ”

"Sister, my mother left the embroidery section and I stayed with you." Wei Chuyang took out the box, which contained half an embroidery section and half an embroidery book, "I don't want them to come back and grab it, it's better to stay here safely." ”

Wei Chuyue didn't agree, but she didn't refuse anymore when she heard him say this, this thing was explained by her mother before she passed away, and it was left for her brother-in-law, "Then I'll help you put it away for the time being." ”

The sister and brother have been talking for a long time, Wei Chuyue is still a little reluctant, when she left in the afternoon, Wei Chuyue's mood was a little low, she is such a relative, she wants to meet again, I don't know when it will be.

"If you want to meet often, you can also let your brother come to Jinling." Chu Duyuan's voice sounded in his ears, Wei Chuyue was stunned, and then shook his head, "He can live well there." "When she comes to Jinling, she is bound to be attached to the Chu family, and she doesn't want to do this.

Chu Duan looked at the persistence that flashed in her eyes, and stopped speaking, not every woman must be attached to her husband in order to live, such as Yiyao, such as the newlywed wife in front of him.

But Chu Duyuan still has a faint hope in his heart that he can become the dependence of the person in front of him, they should be cared for, someone loves them, and who wants to be strong

Maybe it was Qiao Cong'an who took Chu Yiyao to ask for a peace charm, and in the second half of the year, Chu Yiyao lived a peaceful and stable life, and nothing happened, and no one came to the Chu family to make any trouble.

At the beginning of October, the merchant ship had already set off for Datong, and Chu Yiyao went to Sangtian to see the land he bought for the first time.

When the Tian family gave her the title deed, these lands were still leased by farmers, so they could receive a rent other than taxes every year, and walked up the hill with their feet, Chu Yiyao looked down, the millet had been harvested, and now the fields are piled up one after another, according to the villagers, these haystacks are dried and cleaned, and they can be laid on the bed board, and then covered with a thick mattress on it, which is warm enough in winter.

"Second uncle, Heichuan can accept it, and the business in that shop is much better this year." Chu Yiyao now thinks that the more people who follow her example and open a seasoning shop, the better, so that she can sell the finished products and raw materials, and Heichuan collects more, which can be regarded as a wholesale to other shops.

"It's all put away, and when it's dried, it's waiting to be grinded." Second Master Xing stood behind her and said.

Chu Yiyao smiled, the corners of her mouth raised a beautiful arc, looking at the curling smoke in the village not far away.

After a while, two old men walked up towards her, the one in front was still on crutches, and when they got closer, they saw clearly, Chu Yiyao's face was surprised, "Old Chen? ”

Isn't this the old man who bought the Guanyin carving with 2,500 taels of silver that day, and he can still meet it here.

"Miss Chu has a good memory." Old Man Shen walked up with a slight smile, and Chu Yiyao hurriedly reached out to help him, "Old Chen, be careful, it just rained two days ago, and the soil is very loose." ”

Old Man Shen walked up the hillside, and Steward Jiang followed behind him, and greeted Chu Yiyao with a bow.

"This place is very well populated." Old Man Shen let out a long sigh and looked at such a large area of land as Sangtian, not to mention the outstanding people, it should have been in his bag.

"I can see the earth spirit, as for this person, it is not Sangtian who is also capable of something." Chu Yiyao saw that there was some regret in his tone, and answered with a smile.

"Girl, you don't know this, fifty or sixty years ago, there was a big man here, that is, the current cabinet minister Qian Zheng, this person has never married in his life, is committed to national affairs, peach and plum all over the world, and has cultivated a lot of talents." When Qian Zheng went to Luoyang, Master Chu had not yet been born, and Chu Yiyao naturally didn't know about this character.

"He has been an honest official all his life, otherwise this Sangtian would not be just like this." What Old Man Shen admires most is Qian Zheng's official style, he can advise Jinling to let these merchants have better development, but he has never had a trace of selfishness in his hometown, and he can't do it for decades.

"I think Sangtian is still so good." Chu Yiyao looked at this piece of mountains and forests, and the sense of simplicity revealed was not comparable to Jinling, and in the near future, this would also be a royal place, and it would not be another benefit for Qian Zheng to his father and fellow villagers.

Old Man Shen looked at her side face, and speaking of which, the second boy's vision is indeed good.

Chu Yiyao turned around and saw Old Man Shen looking at her, and couldn't help but smile, "Old Chen, in such an outstanding place, do you also have a house to live here occasionally." ”

Rao is an old man, and he still slanders in his heart, he wants to buy it, but he let this girl buy it.

Old Man Chen touched his beard and smiled, "Come and see, this means, why don't you go down with me, girl." ”

"Okay." Chu Yiyao saw that it was still early, so he readily agreed, although he didn't know which family he belonged to, and Chen Lao didn't say it clearly, but a one-time big sum of two thousand five hundred taels must be everyone, and there must be nothing wrong with making friends.

Steward Jiang watched the old man being helped down by the eldest lady of the Chu family, a smile appeared on his face, he didn't say anything when he met the old man several times, and he didn't know what the expression of the two young grandmothers would be after entering the door.

Looking at the past from a distance, it is Hele's grandparents and grandchildren walking, Chu Yiyao likes this feeling of tranquility and tranquility, watching children frolicking in the village, listening to the chirping of livestock, rarely the sound of carriages, walking in front of other people's houses, and occasionally smelling the fragrance of vegetables wafting from inside.

Old Man Shen saw that she deliberately slowed down her pace to cooperate with herself, and smiled, "Miss Chu is fifteen, can you kiss?" ”

"Old Chen, I have already allowed to kiss, it is with the second young master of the Shen family." Chu Yiyao didn't hide anything, almost everyone in Jinling knew about it, probably because Chen Lao didn't come out often.

"It's a pity, I still have a kid in my family who is older than you, why did I allow a kiss." Old Man Shen's tone was full of pity, Chu Yiyao smiled, and simply didn't answer.

Walking to a relatively large farmhouse, Old Man Shen stopped and shouted in a slightly higher voice, "Don't go, I'm tired, let's go in and beg for food." ”

Chu Yiyao helped him in and said to the second master, "Second uncle, you go and talk to that aunt, make some good dishes, lighter." ”

Steward Jiang glanced at Old Man Shen and followed him into the house, how could the family not be enthusiastic after the second master stuffed the silver, cleaned up and let them sit down, Chu Yiyao saw that the eldest lady seemed to be looking for something to make tea, and shouted with a smile, "Auntie, it's good to pour us some of your barley tea." ”

The lady looked at them, a little embarrassed, "How can you do this." "That barley tea is brewed and drunk at home, and it is the most ordinary.

"Don't get in the way, auntie, you soak some for us to taste." Wheat tea is a feature of mulberry fields, and the one at the end of the village that Chu Yiyao has not been to is used to grow wheat.

"Then I'll go out and pick out some good ones for you." The lady went out, called her daughter-in-law to find her son, came back to kill chickens, went in and out of the kitchen, and in a short time brought them four bowls of tea, and also took a teapot to add.

Chu Yiyao picked up the bowl and handed it to Old Man Shen first, and then he took a breath, unlike the tea he drinks on weekdays, the aroma of this wheat tea is mixed with a mellow wheat fragrance, the color is relatively light, and there is a little bit of ground wheat husk floating in the bottom of the bowl.

Chu Yiyao tasted a little bit of astringency in the barley tea, this is pure barley fried, and there will definitely be no special condiments added to it in the farmhouse, thinking about it, Chu Yiyao said to Old Man Shen, "Old Chen, you sit down and I'll go out for a while." ”

Chu Yiyao walked outside the house, the eldest lady was sifting the millet there, Chu Yiyao approached, "Auntie, can you show me what your barley for tea is like." ”

The lady put down the sieve and took her to a room, where the white cloth bag contained some shriveled barley grains, shelled and plump, and the shriveled ones were crushed to make tea. ”

Chu Yiyao grabbed a handful of wheat particles, "Do you want to add anything when frying?" ”

The lady shook her head, "What's more, adding other tea leaves is precious, and we can't afford to drink it, so it can be the same as the one in the city." ”

Chu Yiyao smiled, went back to the previous room, and looked at the tea bowl and thought for a while.

Old Man Shen's laughter came from his ears, "Girl, what do you want, see what is the mystery in this barley tea?" ”

Chu Yiyao nodded, "Old Chen, you said that this kind of tea tastes good, why can't it be sold in Jinling?" ”

"It's too cheap and doesn't taste good enough." Old Man Shen said two points very directly, like the class level, even if something is delicious and too cheap, the lower class likes to buy it, and the upper class people rarely drink it, and the same is true for tea.

"Cheap things can be made expensive, and the taste is not good, so just make it taste better." Chu Yiyao turned around, "The same cabbage, there is so much difference between the small restaurant and the restaurant, isn't it just the difference between the brand, the amount in the small restaurant is more than that in the restaurant, and some of the taste is also good." ”

Old man Shen was said by her, smiled, doing business is indeed like this, seeing the eagerness in her eyes, she cooperated and asked, "It's easy to sell expensive, tea must be delicious." ”

"Old Chen, you see, there are a lot of scraps at the bottom of this bowl, the conditions in the village are not enough, and they are not filtered clean when they are soaked, just now I went out to ask the eldest lady, saying that it was directly fried and crushed, that is, the shells have not been sifted clean, not to mention the taste, and there is some astringency." The Chu family does not do tea business, and Chu Yiyao also knows that the tea industry in Jinling is almost monopolized, and if she wants to get a piece of the pie with new things, it can't last long, so she directly shared this idea with Chen Lao.

"If you add something else to it, the good wheat is fried and crushed, and after the husk is removed and milled, then the fried and ground tea leaves are added, mixed together, soaked and filtered, and the taste is not more mellow?"

Chu Yiyao asked Old Man Shen questioningly, but the latter had a flash of inspiration, and Chu Yiyao said again, "What kind of tea to add, no matter how expensive it is, this amount cannot be more than wheat flour, so that the wheat flavor is the first priority, so can't it be sold expensive?" ”

Old man Shen's expression changed when he saw Chu Yiyao at this moment, the tea in the Shen family business house has been made for so many years, what kind of tea is not, this barley tea is not cut at all, this girl said this, but he mistook Baoyu for a waste stone!

"Girl, how did you come up with this?" Old Man Shen was a little excited, drank the barley tea again, and began to think about how to try the thing she said.

Chu Yiyao was a little embarrassed by his question, "I don't know much about tea, since flower tea can be added in a variety of ways, then why can't this barley tea be wheat and tea together, as long as the proportion is right, I think the taste should be stronger." She has developed the habit of seeing something new and special, thinking about its value and whether it will sell better with a slight change.

Old man Shen was happy, no wonder the Chu family was able to survive that period of time without going bankrupt, and now it is getting better and better, no wonder the second boy is so relieved to hand over all his things to her, if he hadn't broken it at that point, the second boy didn't know how long to hide, the old man Shen used all the stubbornness that was rare in his age on his grandson, and sure enough, he was wise, and let the second boy start early, and really let the Cao family marry back, and they didn't know the goods!

"Girl, you told me everything, so you don't have to worry that I will do this when I go back and take away your business." In the middle of the ring, Old Man Shen asked her seriously, how could a businessman tell others a good idea.

"Old Chen, don't you know, the Chu family makes porcelain, tea, Jinling City is saturated, it's those people who do it, I'm going to make buns, I'm not fooling around, I don't understand anything, it won't take long for people to squeeze it out, it's better not to go." Chu Yiyao smiled and waved her hand, only what is lacking can it be easier to develop, she asked her second brother to go to Hongdu so many times, and she directly turned back a second sister-in-law, and the matter of this embroidery is estimated to be not far away.

"A good iron striker to make buns, hahaha." Hearty laughter came from the room, Steward Shen hadn't seen the old man smile like this for a long time, looking at Chu Yiyao's eyes, there was a little more admiration, Old Man Shen spoke loudly when he was happy and unhappy, he said to her in a rough voice, "That girl doesn't mind that Old Man Chen hid your idea privately, go back and try it." ”

Chu Yiyao has a sense of closeness to the old man Shen who laughed, he has no father and mother since he was a child, and he has experienced two lives, Chu Yiyao's desire for family affection is much higher than ordinary people, and the old man Shen is so kind, it is really comfortable to get along, so she picked up the bowl and saluted him, "Then Old Chen, don't forget to give me some to taste when the time comes." ”

The two of them chatted very speculatively, one old and one young did not have any identity, sitting there and talking, occasionally Old Man Shen would raise his voice, and the smile on his face did not fade.

Until the eldest lady brought all the dishes, in a clay pot in the middle was a fresh stewed chicken, opened up a fragrance, the old man Shen was happy, pulled the Jiang steward to sit down and eat, the second master also sat down, and the four of them ate this meal around the small table.

During the banquet, Old Man Shen also drank two glasses of home-brewed wine, looking at Chu Yiyao, this trip is worth it

After going back, Chu Yiyao began to be forced by Qiao Cong'an to stay at home to make up for embroidery, and those who will marry in January of the next year can't keep running out, except for one trip when Xing Ziyu got married. Wei Chuyue is also a person who can't be idle, and when Chu Duyuan goes back to the firm, he will help Qiao Cong'an take care of the Chu family together, and Qiao Cong'an will be responsible for managing Chu Yiyao when he is empty.

Chu Yiyao's embroidery work is not bad, but she is also a little scared of this continuous evil supplement, but in the past few years, she has been busy with the affairs of the commercial house and shop, and she has not prepared anything for herself at all, so she has to do some embroidery for the newly married daughter-in-law as well.

When the Chinese New Year was approaching, Chu Yiyao finally finished all these things, and her wedding dress was already hung in the wing room next door, which Mrs. Chu had prepared for her before she died, it was a little bigger, and she had been hanging there since she sent it to the embroidery room for modification.

Chu Yiyao pressed her temples, the whole family was happy, she could only cooperate to do everything they wanted to do, Sister Qin had been locked up for more than half a year, and she couldn't stand it for only two months.

The peacock put everything into the chamber, Chu Yiyao walked in, the red wedding dress hung quietly on the shelf, and there was a phoenix crown in the box on the side, she had only seen this wedding dress twice in her previous life, the first time was when the second aunt took it out of the warehouse, and the second time was when Chu Miaoluo got married.

God gave her a chance to let her, a person who had broken her head and lost her life, live again, and she hadn't done enough stupid things before.

Gently touching the wedding dress, the mother left early, but in the memory, the Chu Fu will always be distinct, the quiet and gentle woman, acting decisively, has more insights into business matters than her father, she takes care of the Chu family in an orderly manner, but she only has time to train her eldest brother and leaves.

"Mother, don't worry, I will be as good as you, better than you, I will live a long time." Chu Yiyao looked at the wedding dress and muttered

This year's time is particularly fast, the end of the year passed in the busy preparations, and at the beginning of the year, Chu Yiyao didn't have to do anything, ready to get married.

The decoction that had been drunk for two years finally broke at the end of the year, Chu Yiyao looked at her dowry list in the house, accompanied by one-third of the Chu family's property, Chu Yiyao was divided alone, but she was a real rich woman.

There are no land deeds she has in the dowry brought to the Shen family, including Sangtian's and Shen Shixuan's handed over to her, she doesn't plan to be listed in the dowry list, her father and mother have prepared enough for herself, and she also knows that the wedding of the eldest young master of the Shen family is just twenty days after she and Shen Shixuan got married, and the limelight of the dowry is still left to the eldest lady of the Shui family

The author has something to say: I didn't get home until more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and after waking up, I coded the words until now, so that everyone waited for a long time

It's too hard to be a bridesmaid.,〒_〒

is finally getting married, Ryoko has become a mother-in-law!!!!!!

A little quote on barley tea, hahahaha
