Chapter 209: I Met an Acquaintance
Meng Qingtang seemed to be sincere, but Meng Qingtang's character is really questionable, although he said that he didn't stretch out his hand and hit a smiling person, but Meng Qingtang was not a person who could be measured by this!
Xia Ziqiu looked at Meng Qingtang, and said:
"Okay, I appreciate your kindness, go back, bring the meat back, isn't your father's health bad!"
Xia Ziqiu said, everyone in the courtyard watched, Meng Qingtang's face was thicker than Meng's!
Xia Ziqiu drove him away, Meng Qingtang laughed, and squeezed in!
"Third brother, what you said, you are stunned by my kindness, let me have a drink! Yo! Raspberry wine! Third brother, you have a lot of good things! ”
Meng Qingtang said, but he couldn't cross Xia Ziqiu's defense line! A few people from the yard also came out!
"Meng Qingtang, don't you want to be faced! You stole other people's food last year, and today you're here to give gifts! You'd better go back! Don't let us chase people! ”
As the people in the village spoke, Meng Qingtang looked at Xia Ziqiu's eyes flickering!
"Okay, then I'll be back! Third brother, there is a good thing, you have to call it brother, we are relatives! ”
Meng Qingtang said, knowing that he couldn't get in, so he slipped away with the meat and left, but he was reluctant to give up on Xia Ziqiu's family, and the banquet in the courtyard was really hooked up with his gluttony!
And Meng Qingtang was just a small episode, everyone came happily that night, and went back happily!
And in the old house, Liang is doing the soles of his shoes on the kang, and his heart is quite unpleasant! Old Man Xia came back drunk, and lay down on the kang, not thinking about anything, but like that, he seemed to be still thinking about this! Thinking about what Xia Ziqiu's family looks like now. Liang is not at ease!
"Why, after drinking some cat urine, you will be excited, look at your virtue, your eyes are red and monkey cheeks yes! (腚: Northeast vernacular, the meaning of ass!) Really! That's your son, not mine! ”
Liang said. She rarely said that. But Old Man Xia sighed!
"Alas, I know you don't have a taste in your heart, but the fifth child. Yes, I can't afford to send him any more education! After all these years, his books have been read in vain! ”
Old Man Xia said that the Liang family was nothing more than unhappy that Xia Ziqiu was now developed, but Xia Zidong couldn't study. And Old Man Xia made it clear, and Liang also put down the needle and thread!
"Humph! What else do you say? No matter what. If you let the fifth child study at home, you won't have to go to school, and the county will not go to school, and in the imperial examination in the next year, if the fifth child takes the exam. Isn't it okay, Tingyu should say kiss next year! ”
Liang said, thinking that Xia Tingyu was a little better!
"Tingyu's marriage. I'll have to think about it, kid. I can't endure hardship, it's not that fate, I have to find a good condition for the child! ”
Liang said, Old Man Xia frowned slightly!
"Yes, that kid is the right age, the fifth child...... It's not in a hurry, the third family's side, what Zhou Xiuchun should say kiss next year! ”
Old Man Xia said, and suddenly returned to Xia Ziqiu's house, and thinking of Zhou Xiuchun, Liang's heart was alive!
"Old man, that Zhou Xiuchun ...... If it's the third...... I think the third child is very interested in the Zhou family, didn't the boss also have that meaning, that is, to marry Zhou Xiuchun, the eldest daughter-in-law I can't stand it anymore, and even my own grandson is harmful! Such a poisonous woman, our Xia family can't want it! ”
Liang said, there are still other thoughts in his heart!
"Our family only has land left now, don't tell me that you really rely on the sky to eat! The third child is good to the Zhou family, let's just let the boss marry this concubine of the Zhou family, although it is a concubine, but the age of the boss is there, so let's just do it, and the Zhou family, in order to please the third child, will also give a rich dowry! ”
Liang said that the dowry is his real purpose, of course, it is also important to win over the relationship between the following and Xia Ziqiu!
When Old Man Xia heard this, he also nodded!
"That's fine, eldest daughter-in-law, it's terrible!"
Old Man Xia also agreed with Liang's idea, but this matter must be done next year, otherwise...... Old Man Xia didn't know the bottom in his heart, if he couldn't tell Xia Zichun about Xiuchun last week, it wouldn't be a good thing!
And tonight, what makes Old Man Xia most depressed is not between Xia Ziqiu and Xia Zidong, but between Xia Ziqiu and the Zhang family! Originally, I didn't see anyone from the Zhang family at the table, but Mr. Xia was quite happy, after all, Zhang Qin, the daughter-in-law who has been dead for many years, is really a stalk, and he doesn't look down on Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang's personality is relatively soft, although he is in charge, but like Xia Ziqiu, the wife and children at home don't beat or scold, and what the wife and children say is what, Mr. Xia thinks that Mr. Zhang is not tough! Not what a big husband should be!
But when I came back in the evening, I heard from the people in the village that Xia Ziqiu had asked people to send a banquet to the Zhang family early, and he also sent a lot of quail eggs, but the old man Zhang had something to do, so he didn't come!
Xia Ziqiu's house, Xia Ziqiu slept dead on the kang, the snoring sound shook the sky, Zhou Yuanchun and Xia Xuege looked at Xia Ziqiu and smiled, it's been a long time, Xia Ziqiu hasn't slept like this!
"Mother, don't call me dad tomorrow morning, I'll follow my grandson to sell wine tomorrow!"
Xia Xuege said, Zhou Yuanchun nodded!
"Okay, Lao Sun, let's rest assured, you go to the dim sum shop to find the shopkeeper Sun (Sun Renhao), he has a good reputation in the town, and he knows a lot of people, and he is not afraid that others will see that you are a child and fool you, this wine, my mother saw it yesterday, although it is not good, but it is not bad, it is not a problem for you to sell it this time, but Xue Ge, remember, if you don't promise to sell it to them all next year!"
Zhou Yuanchun said, Xia Xuege nodded!
"Mother, I know, Mother wants raspberries to come down next year, and we sell them in our own store, right?"
Xia Xuege said, Zhou Yuanchun smiled and nodded!
"Xue Ge is smart, but that's not all!"
Zhou Yuanchun said, the little toffee fell asleep in Xia Xuege's arms!
"Xue Ge, this fruit is divided into three, six, nine and so on, the fruit is divided, and the brewed wine will naturally be divided, let's divide the wine next year, our own inn can consume a part, and you can also go to Fucheng to sell it!"
Zhou Yuanchun smiled, Xia Xuege understood, Zhou Yuanchun is suing her and opening up the market!
A good night's dream, Xia Xuege hugged the big cat and the kitten and slept a total of five very comfortable, got up early in the morning, Zhou Yuanchun because of his body, a little snooze, Xia Ziqiu seemed to have drunk too much, naturally he would not wake up early, and he woke up in the morning, only the old grandson's family, although Xia Ziqiu's family is richer than the average villager, but Xia Ziqiu is a very good one, knowing what should and what should not be, Xia Ziqiu's breakfast has always been if there was leftovers yesterday, just eat leftovers, yesterday's banquet was big, The leftovers at home are all in several large pots!
After eating, seeing that Zhou Yuanchun and Xia Ziqiu hadn't woken up yet, Xia Xuege ordered Laifu to be happy, and led Lao Sun to go out with Laicai and the family's wine!
"Girl, where are we going?"
Lao Sun asked in a hurry, Xia Xuege smiled!
"Go to our own dim sum shop!"
What Zhou Yuanchun said is very desirable, Sun Renhao is now in the town, and he knows countless wine merchants, this wine should be able to sell at a good price!
went to the dim sum shop, Sun Renhao was reconciling!
"Girl, you're here!"
Sun Renhao said, seeing the carriage outside......
"This wine...... Was it last night's raspberry wine? ”
Last night, Sun Renhao was also at Xia Ziqiu's house, Xia Xuege nodded, no need to say it, Sun Renhao knew what Xia Xuege meant!
"Girl, if you want to sell wine, you have to wait a while, I still have some accounts here, wait, I'll take you to Tianfu Winery in the east of the town, where the price is the best."
Sun Renhao said, Xia Xuege nodded. "Uncle Sun, you're busy, I'll go shopping in the street for a while, it's still early, don't worry!"
Xia Xuege said, and went to the town with her little purse, she hadn't come out to play for a long time!
In the morning in the town, it is still bustling and lively, and without Xia Tianshou's gang of traffickers, there are more children in the town, at this time it is golden autumn, Xia Xuege looked, many crops and fields are selling, and the vegetables in the yard are cheap or even three or four catties a penny!
"Little brother, why don't we go over there and have a look!"
Xia Xuege was strolling, a familiar voice shocked Xia Xuege, and when she turned around, a woman with small eyes and dark skin was talking to a merchant, Xia Xuege was stunned!
Isn't this Xia Meier!
However, Xia Xuege didn't call anyone, and the two of them looked ...... The merchant looked like he was in his twenties, and he looked a little familiar, while Xia Meier followed the merchant with a happy face!
Strange, as if I've seen it somewhere......
Xia Xuege muttered in her heart, that merchant is quite tall and weak......
Could it be that I had bought something from him before?
Xia Xuege was stunned, didn't think much about it, Xia Xuege continued to shop, but Xia Xuege didn't pay attention, when Xia Xuege turned around, the merchant also turned around and looked at Xia Xuege, with some fun in his eyes!
After walking around the street, Xia Xuege bought some seeds, and there was a foreigner who sold seeds, and Xia Xuege bought them all, who knows what can be planted? Anyway, just go back and plant, there are 500 acres of fertile land at home, and you can plant anything next year!
Led by Sun Renhao, Xia Xuege soon arrived at Tianfu Winery, the so-called purple qi comes from the east, no matter where it is, the place in the east is always the most expensive! There are two stone lions standing outside the Tianfu Winery, and there are purple-gold plaques hanging on the high courtyard, where is this winery! It's a mansion, is there any?
"Uncle Sun, here...... Our raspberry wine is just a little better, can it be sold here! ”
Xia Xuege was a little reluctant, in such a place, the consumption grade is high, she is not the kind of person who is willing to be rewarded by the emperor to oppress people! (To be continued)
