Chapter 22

At the end of April, the sun is shining, the spring is thick, and the city is full of joy.

The Zhou family, Mrs. Zhou's house is full of people, and women of all sizes are making summer clothes from the family's tailors.

Mrs. Zhou, who was surrounded by her daughters, gradually disappeared in the spring, and listened to the sound of warblers in the house.

"The master should have arrived in Jiangzhou at this time, right?" She and the servant woman beside her had a conversation that didn't match each other.

The servant nodded.

"Count the day." "It's just that the return trip isn't so fast." ”

Naturally, the matter of asking for money is indispensable.

"Who is afraid of whom, the dowry of the daughter of my Zhou family, he can't keep it even if the Cheng family breaks the sky." Mrs. Zhou said.

"It's just that Madame, the daughter of his family, marries or not, they still have the final say." The servant reminded, "The lord will definitely have to take a lot of speech. ”

"Marry or not, they have the final say? Then they married Jiaojiao indiscriminately, and we still don't do it, when our own maternal uncle is dead? Mrs. Zhou snorted.

In short, this time it is necessary to tear it well, and no one should think of taking advantage of it in vain.

"It would be nice if it became with the Qin family, just take it directly and see what else they can say!" Mrs. Zhou sighed, and she couldn't bear to be angry when she thought of the Qin family's affairs.

"Ma'am." The servant woman hurriedly gave her a good breath, and said with a smile, "Without the Qin family, there are other people, Madame will let out the words, just with our Jiaojiao'er's skill of resurrecting from the dead, is there still no one to ask?" ”

"Brought back to life?" Mrs. Zhou snorted, "I don't know if Jiang Lang is finished." ”

It's been two months, and this Cheng Niangzi, who said she was sick and didn't receive treatment, still hasn't moved.

"It doesn't matter if it's all over or not, the fact that Old Lady Chen Tong Neihan was cured by her is obvious, and no one can deny it." The servant woman laughed.

Rely on these two relationships alone. It is enough for many families to consider marriage.

Mrs. Zhou nodded.

"This niece is weird. I really don't want to mind about her. She said. Spuffed, "But, I don't care, who cares?" Is there any way, break the bones and tendons, it's just a debt, it's all a debt owed in the previous life, and I pay her back. ”

"Madame has a kind heart." The servant woman smiled and complimented.

I really want to count the people I know in Beijing, and there are suitable people. The daughters, who had finished measuring their clothes, rushed over.

"Mother, when are we going to worship the Buddha at Puxiu Temple?" A daughter asked with some anticipation.

Mrs. Zhou smiled.

"Do you worship the Buddha or eat vegetarian fasting?" She asked.

The daughters laughed too.

"Mother, it's not wrong to worship the Buddha and vegetarian fasting." They chirped and said, surrounding Mrs. Zhou.

"Don't worry, your brother has already bought a few catties of stuffed tofu from Puxiu Temple and brought it back, and our family will eat it today." Mrs. Zhou said with a smile.

The daughters were overjoyed.

"Now there are people who make tofu in the city, but they are not as good as this Puxiu Temple."

"It's not the Puxiu Temple that's good, it's the Taiping Tofu that's good."

"Such a good tofu is only available in Puxiu Temple and Taipingju, but it is either too crowded or too far away to come and go. It's really sad, why don't you sell more? ”

"At the beginning, the Taiping Ju said that it was an offering made exclusively for the Buddha. Naturally, it will not be given to another family. ”

"This Taipingju is too stupid, how can there be money that is not earned?"

"Hey, speaking of Taipingju, I heard Rokuro say that it seems that the fool opened it..."

The words rang out, and the room fell silent.

The person who spoke suddenly became the focus of attention, and he was also taken aback.

"What do you say? Taipingju, is that Jiangzhou stupid? The sister asked.

Cheng Jianniang's?

Mrs. Zhou sat up straight and looked at her daughter.

"What did you say?" She asked.

The daughter was a little uneasy.

"I, I listened to what Rokuro said in a trance, and I don't know if it's true or not." She said.

The people in the room looked at each other.

How so?

"Where's Rokuro?" Mrs. Zhou asked.

"Madam, you forgot, Liulang and Qin Langjun made an appointment to go to Puxiu Temple." The servant reminded in a low voice.

Although there was no incense burning in the chamber, there was still sandalwood wrapped around the nose.

Qin Langjun scooped a piece of stuffed tofu with a spoon, his face full of admiration.

"It seems that this Taiping tofu does have a unique secret recipe, and there are a lot of tofu made in the city, but it is still bitter, and it can't be so tender." He said, "The Puxiu Temple is better than the temple again this time. ”

And stop the temple is several generations of prosperity has always been in the monk Lu Division of the name of the century-old temple, the famous only a few decades of Puxiu Temple although it has also become a royal temple, but in the end the background is not as good, until Minghai Zen Master original Zen tea method, this is slightly better than the fame and stop the temple.

But I don't want to stop the temple years ago and no celebrity to leave a new font word, attracting people with good words to observe, and stop the temple for a while, but now Puxiu Temple has launched a new taste of tofu and new vegetarian food, Puxiu Temple's sesame oil money has risen wildly in just over a month.

Liu Liulang sat opposite Qin Shisan, and the dishes and chopsticks in front of him did not move.

"Taipingju is hers?" He asked.

"Didn't we meet the owner of the Taiping Residence? Don't you recognize it? Qin Shisan said with a smile.

Taiping Ju is becoming more and more famous, and the two of them naturally go there, but they didn't expect to see the Xu Maoxiu brothers there, the restaurants and tea shops are all managed by the shopkeeper hired by the owner, and the owner himself rarely shows up, and even the small and big owners behind some businesses are hidden.

"Maybe that's where they work." Saturday Lang said in a muffled voice.

Qin Thirteen Ha Lu Ha smiled.

"Have you ever seen someone like that?" He asked.

Xu Maoxiu and the other brothers only walked around the backyard that day, and if it weren't for Liu Liulang's absent-mindedness and seeing Lu from the window, he wouldn't have seen it.

Xu Maoxiu didn't recognize it at first glance, the man in his twenties was clean and tall, standing in the courtyard, talking to the two guys.

A few simple words, but the respectful attitude of those two guys, as well as Xu Maoxiu's inadvertent control, are all obvious at a glance.

"It turns out that this is what she is busy with when she goes out early and returns late." Qin Shisan continued, "It's not easy for a woman's family, but fortunately, these people are available. ”

But. She's obviously not alone. She has kinship. There are kinship.

Saturday Lang's chopsticks creaked.

"Who should be used and how to use it, she knows it in her own heart, neither angry nor ruthless." Qin Shisan stretched out his hand and knocked on the table, reminding him, "Don't be amorous and mediocre and disturb yourself. ”

Saturday Lang was depressed.

"I can go home alone for thousands of miles and run a small restaurant. It's a big deal for her. Qin Shisan said with a smile.

"It's not easy to live in Beijing." Liuliulang was silent for a moment and said, "People's hearts are sinister, and it is easy to start a business and difficult to keep a business. ”

Qin Shisan smiled.

"When it's difficult, your Zhou family can see it." "When it's easy, don't look at it." ”

This woman is the most troublesome.

A resurrection technique can toss out the death of people who are not bound to die, and now that there is Taipingju and this Taiping Tofu, it may cause some trouble.

"I hope we never have to see it." Saturday Lang said in a muffled voice.

In late spring and early summer, there was already some heat, and the car curtain was replaced with a bamboo curtain. Coolness comes with the driving wind.

Before I arrived at the Taiping Residence, I saw a lot of cars and horses in front of the door. The bamboo curtains rolled up by the windows of the hall can be seen full of people, and the second floor is a private room, some of the curtains are rolled up and some are lowered, but it can be guessed that it must be full of people, because there are still many people standing outside the door.

"Guest, the shop is full, do you think you are tired and looking for another one, or are you waiting here? If you wait, I'm afraid it will take about half an hour. ”

As the carriage drove by, I heard the shopkeeper say to the new guest with an apologetic smile.

"If you wait, this guest officer, we have refreshments here."

In addition to the people who came to eat, there were also many people who were busy, coming in and out.

After the carriage entered the restaurant from the side.

A large area has been fenced around the restaurant, full of bricks and wood.

Two more cars came to the backyard on the main road, and several men in charge of shopping came out to check.

The restaurant is busy but not chaotic, noisy but not noisy.

The backyard has been divided into two yards, one side is used by the kitchen handyman, and the other side is Sun Cai's tofu workshop.

Compared with the bustle in front, the tofu shop is much quieter because it prohibits people from entering and exiting at will.

"Build a few more houses, and the new guys will be able to live, and the storeroom will be more relaxed, and the carriage and horse rooms will be repaired, so that there will be more and more carriages and horses, so as not to huddle together and kick and fight." Xu Maoxiu said, looking at Cheng Jianniang who was a few steps in front of him.

After Xiao Yin's hair was tied down, Cheng Jianniang, who was wearing a plain black dress and tied up her long sleeves, loosened the bowstring.

With a buzz, a long arrow left the string, grazing the grass target more than a dozen steps away and flew out and landed on the ground, and there were four or five long arrows scattered on the ground.

Sun Cai, who saw it from the tofu workshop, breathed a sigh of relief.

Or hide in the house to be safe.

"My brother arranges it." Cheng Jianniang said, stretching out her hand.

Xu Maoxiu took out an arrow from the side and walked forward a few steps forward and handed it over, watching Cheng Jianniang take the bow again.

Standing closer, you could see the woman's small face taut, and the knuckles of her hands protruding from the knots under the bundled sleeves.

Her gaze was focused on the grass target, and her body stood straight and steady.

With a buzz, an arrow came out of the string again, this time hitting the grass target, although only marginally.

"Ahh The lady is so powerful! ”

The handmaid stroked her palms happily, eager to jump up and cheer.

Before the words fell, the arrow on the grass target staggered a few times and fell.

"That lady is also so powerful." The maidservant then shouted.

Cheng Jianniang smiled slightly and lowered her hand holding the bow.

"Why does the little girl who is clean and clean of the owner's sister love to play this?" A small worker next to Sun Cai said with a grin, while tiptoeing out to look out.

With the passage of time, with the popularity of vegetarian tofu in Puxiu Temple, Taipingju has gradually become famous, and it is no longer enough for Xu Maoxiu brothers to greet guests.

Now Taipingju has recruited new guys, Sun Cai's tofu workshop has also recruited three small workers because of the large supply, rotating day and night, and now the tofu practice is not surprising, and many places also sell it, but only Taipingju can make Taiping tofu so tender and non-astringent.

Recruitment is a start, but the most important step is the only one in Sun Cai's hands, you can be sure that even the Lord of Yama will not want to pry his mouth open, if he can't keep it, it will be a big deal to die, and others will not want to get it.

Sun Cai glared at the little worker.

"Did you see the owner's sister? Go grind soy milk. He scolded.

Sun Cai, who used to be a cow for his master and brothers, was scolded by others, but now he has become a person who sits and drinks nonsense to others, holding secret skills. Leisurely and light-hearted. The money taken is still a lot bigger. It's only been a few days, and the broken grass house in Sun Cai's house is about to be renovated, and when the house is built, the person who says he is close will have to step through the threshold......

Sun Cai smiled.

The little worker stuck out his tongue and went to work, no longer paying attention to the master who smirked from time to time.

Sun Cai looked out the window again, the handsome maid smiled and smiled and took the green sweat towel to wipe the little lady, and when she raised her hand, the thin sleeves of the spring shirt faded down. Revealing his white and tender wrist, Sun Cai suddenly widened his eyes and leaned closer to the window to see the wrong eyes without blinking.

The owner's sister can't see it, but the pretty girl can always take a look.

Cheng Jianniang handed the bow and arrow out, Xu Maoxiu naturally reached out to take it, and also pulled out an arrow, with a little relaxed and casual, his body did not move, and he raised his hand to pull the bow and string.

With a buzz, the long arrow hit the bullseye steadily with a sharp whistle.

"The six arts of the gentleman, my brother's archery skills must have been laid when he was studying." Cheng Jianniang said.

Xu Maoxiu smiled and nodded.

"Young and ignorant, I want to be a gentleman. Everything is understood, and as a result, I forget about my talents. In the end, nothing can be done. He said, hesitating, "My sister has a good foundation, but her strength is not enough, and she will definitely improve after practicing for a while." ”

Nowadays, men have to learn to read, ride and shoot archery, so it is not surprising that they are proficient, but women are more proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and there are not many people who learn horseback archery.

Where did you get this foundation?

Cheng Jianniang looked back at the grass target, and the arrows shot by Xu Maoxiu on the red heart in the sunlight were a little dazzling.

It's just dazzling, except for the inscription wall in the Beijing Temple when she first came to the capital and the palpitations when it snows, she has no other feeling that touches her memory for so long.

His body recovered, his speech improved greatly, but his heart was never there.

Xu Maoxiu coughed lightly, and Cheng Jianniang looked over.

"Summer is here, it's time to get some clothes." He said, taking out a money bag and handing it to the maidservant, "My sister bothered to sell it to us." ”

is not like the panic when he was given new clothes, but he dared to ask for new clothes, and gave money casually like an elder.

"With this money, my sister will take it to supplement the family." Xu Maoxiu said.

The maidservant laughed, looking at Xu Maoxiu's demeanor of pretending to be the eldest brother, but this is what a brother should look like, he just saw that the lady seemed to be distracted, so he was comforting the lady.

"Yes, thank you Lang-kun." She saluted, reaching out to take the money.

Following this topic, the maidservant girl said some clothes and fabrics, leading the two to discuss.

"Brothers, I'm busy here, so I won't bother." Cheng Jianniang said.

Xu Maoxiu personally sent it to the door.

"There are a lot of people here, don't come often, I'll go home and talk to you if there's something important, and you can ask someone to call me at any time if there's something." He admonished.

Cheng Jianniang nodded, and then saw Xu Maoxiu frowning and looking in one direction, she followed, and saw a woman walking from the back door to the store in a little panic, followed by a man and a woman behind her.

"Do you remember?" The maidservant whispered, "That's Li Dasco's daughter-in-law." ”

"Sister-in-law Asong, think about it again..."

The woman said with a smile and reached out to pull Li Dascoop's daughter-in-law.

"Come here, I'll say a few more words to you......"

Li Dascoo's daughter-in-law's maiden name is Song, she was called the Song family when she was young, and she was named Li Song Niangzi when she got married.

Sister-in-law Ah Song looked frightened and hurriedly avoided her hand.

"I, I don't have anything to say to you, you, you guys go quickly," she said in a panic.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Maoxiu walked over a few steps and asked.

Seeing Xu Maoxiu, Sister-in-law A Song's face was even more frightened.

"No, no, it's okay, the owner, I, I'll send something to his father." She stammered, and without waiting for Xu Maoxiu to speak, she turned around and went in in a panic.

Xu Maoxiu frowned slightly, and his gaze fell on the man and woman.

He came forward obviously to relieve Sister-in-law Song, but it was Sister-in-law Song who was frightened, but the two who should have been frightened looked calm, and looked at them with a bit of arrogance and disdain.
