Chapter 289: The Matter of Illegal Salt Causes a Storm

On the way back, Tang Qing'er asked, "What you said is true, I want to use sesame seeds to pull oil." ”

Xue Qianxun said lightly: "En." ”

"Have you tried it before?" Tang Qing'er couldn't help but ask, she didn't dare to ask in front of her father and mother just now, but now there are only the two of them in the carriage, so Tang Qing'er asked.

"I've heard from the people of Kyoto, so I want to try it,"

"If the sesame seeds are really refined into oil, the taste is indeed very fragrant, and it is much better than the oil made from normal pork, especially when used in side dishes." Wait a minute! Small dishes, yes, if the sesame oil is drawn and used as a side dish, then the pickles will not be sold like crazy.

"How do you know that the oil made from sesame seeds is very fragrant?"

Tang Qing'er's eyes rolled, she thought that Xue Qianxun didn't see her move, and laughed: "I saw it in the book." ”

"Yes." Of course, Xue Qianxun didn't believe what Qing'er said, but he didn't want to expose her, and sometimes it was very interesting to see her flustered.

"Then have you found someone to refine sesame oil?"

"Looking for someone? Anyway, it's spring, and there are still a few months before the sesame seeds ripen, so you can always find someone to refine the oil from the sesame seeds. ”

"Well," in fact, she wanted to say that she knew how to refine sesame seeds into oil, but when she thought of making salt and talking to Xue Qianxun, he looked at herself with strange eyes, if this matter was coming out of her mouth, he still had to think that he was a monster, it was better not to think about it, if he really couldn't practice oil, she was reminding him appropriately.

After the carriage arrived at the mansion, someone ran over and said to Xue Qianxun with a panicked expression: "Young master, go and have a look!" The lord and the lady quarreled. ”

Xue Qianxun's face suddenly froze, and he squinted his eyes and asked, "Where are the lord and lady now?" ”

The next said: "In the courtyard of the lady." ”

Tang Qing'er tugged at Xue Qianxun's sleeve and said, "What else do you want?" Hurry over and see what's going on. ”

"En," Xue Qianxun came to his senses, hurriedly walked a few steps, and thought that Qing'er was still following behind, so he slowly lowered his pace and waited for her, Qing'er hurriedly said: "You go first!" I walked over slowly. ”

"I'll go with you." Even though Xue Qianxun was in a hurry, he still cared about Qing'er's body.

"Okay!" The father-in-law's temper was a little hot, and she was a little worried about her mother-in-law, so she quickened her pace to her mother-in-law's yard.

I don't know where the Shen family knew about Master Xue's plans, and when he saw him returning from outside, he stopped his steps and said, "Master, there are some things I want to ask you about my wife." ”

"What?" Master Xue didn't care.

Shen said in a low voice: "It's not appropriate to say this outside, let's go to my house and say it!" He didn't wait for Master Xue to agree, and just walked forward.

Master Xue raised his heels when he thought about it, it was really because the Shen family rarely looked for him, and the first time he waited at the gate of the courtyard to return to his house, he guessed in his heart that the matter must be very serious.

Sure enough, after Shen entered the house, he asked the maids to go down, and said with a dark face: "Master, I heard that you plan to mess with illicit salt, right?" ”

With a sigh, then Master Xue covered his heart with anger, and said angrily: "Who are you listening to nonsense? ”

"Whether it's nonsense or not, I just ask you if you're going to dump illicit salt."

Master Xue kept silent with a straight face, and Shen knew the answer, and couldn't help but feel sad from his heart, and sat on the edge of the kang with weak legs and cried.

"Okay, okay, cry what you cry, this thing is not what you think, anyway, you wait and see, if this thing is done, you will definitely be able to make money!" Next, Master Xue was full of confidence and said, "I have discussed this matter with Xun'er!" ”

"What? Xun'er is also involved? Shen said in surprise.

"It's still for the sake of the future children and grandchildren of the Xue family, otherwise can I take such a big risk? You don't need to know this as a woman. Master Xue flicked his sleeves and said.

"Do you know that the Tao is a risk? Then you are still risking the smuggling of salt. Shen asked.

Master Xue whispered in Shen's ear for a while, and Shen was shocked: "Master, even if I say this to you, there is still a risk!" ”

"Women really have long hair and short knowledge, where is it so serious as you say? Isn't there a special introduction for salting? This is a legitimate business, as long as there is a salt primer, then this is not easy to make money? ”

Although it is said that this private salt cannot be sold, but the government has also settled the salt merchant business, as long as the salt produced by the family is better than the salt merchant, the salt bought by the people near the town is not their own.

"Where is the salt so easy to get? Now that Qing'er is pregnant, what if something goes wrong because of this, have you thought about it? We already have enough money in our house, so why do we have to take such a big risk to earn this money! Shen persuaded.

"Humph! Now that the world is chaotic, the more troubled the times, the easier it is to make money, and we are not doing illegal business, we make our own salt, and then sell it to salt merchants, and then the salt merchants sell it to the government, is this not okay? ”

Shen Shi saw that the old man was full of confidence, so he had to say to Master Xue: "Although I don't like what I say, but you still have to be careful, the matter of salt making, let's try it first, if it is really made, you might as well sell it to the salt merchant first, if you can really make money, and then try to get it, it is best to find it gradually, don't be in a hurry." ”

"I know this in my heart, I'm not a fool, okay, you already know about this, remember not to tell others," Master Xue said with a frown.

Shen thought that if he was really said by the master, he would really be able to make a lot of money in the future, and when he said that Xun'er was there to help, his panicked heart was a little calmer, so he nodded lightly.

At this time, Xue Qianxun knocked on the door, and Shen eased his mood and said, "Come in." ”

After Xue Qianxun took Qing'er into the house, he asked his father and mother to say goodbye, seeing that her mother's face was a little pale, she glared at her father and said, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Shen Shi glanced at Qing'er and said, "Qing'er, you go back to the courtyard first, my mother has something to ask Xun'er,"

Tang Qing'er saw that the atmosphere in the room was a little depressed, and hurriedly said, "Yes." ”

After Tang Qing'er left, Shen sat on the edge of the kang and asked with a dark face, "Xun'er, are you helping your father to stir up the matter of smuggling salt?" ”

Master Xue said angrily: "I didn't tell you, it's not private salt, we are going to make our own salt and sell it to the government." ”

"Yes." Xue Qianxun was not as angry as his father, but replied lightly.

Shen reprimanded angrily: "Your father is confused, how can you be confused, if there is really a case, you have thought about Qing'er and the child in her belly." ”

Xue Qianxun bowed his head and said, "Mother, don't worry, I am still somewhat sure about this matter." ”

Master Xue said: "Women are not allowed to interfere in men's affairs, what do you know?" I still know this method of making salt from Xun's daughter-in-law, and you will think about everything in the future. ”

Hearing this, Shen sat up in surprise and said in a trembling voice: "What! Qing'er's idea,"

Xue Qianxun hurriedly stepped forward and held her mother's arm and said, "Mother, don't get excited. ”

Shen pushed his son's hand away and said, "You actually let Qing'er participate in this matter?" ”

"Mother......

Master Xue said directly: "Let's tell you the truth!" I was originally going to drum up illicit salt, but I was stopped by Xun'er, so I came up with this method, and it's not a matter of pouring illicit salt, it's not illegal for us to make salt ourselves. ”

Xue Qianxun also said: "Mother, what Dad said is,"

It was rare that Xun'er actually agreed with what the master said, and Shen finally felt some comfort in his heart, and said lightly: "I don't care, you can watch it!" There's just one thing you have to promise me. ”

Xue Qianxun raised his eyes and looked at her mother suspiciously, only to hear her mother say: "Don't discuss with Qing'er when you encounter something, now that she is pregnant with twins, no one can disturb her for other things." ”

"That's it." Thinking that his daughter-in-law was pregnant with two babies in her belly, Master Xue also echoed with a happy face.

Xue Qianxun said: "Mother, at this time, I have my own measure, so you can put your heart in your stomach!" That's his assurance.

Shen also knew his son's character, if it weren't for the fact that he was nine out of ten, he wouldn't have said it so categorically, tunneling: "Okay, then I'll take you as a promise to me." ”

Xue Qianxun said lightly: "Mother, if there is nothing wrong, I will go back." Afraid that Qing'er would be worried, he wanted to go back earlier.

"Yes, go ahead!"

Master Xue also took the opportunity to say, "Then I'll leave too,"

Shen didn't bother to answer him, didn't even look at him, re-established himself on the kang, closed his eyes, and slowly digested the impact of this incident on her.

Tang Qing'er walked back and forth anxiously in the house, saw Xue Qianxun enter the house, hurriedly walked over and pulled his sleeve and said, "What happened," what did the father-in-law do to make his mother-in-law so angry.

"It's okay, it's just that my mother knows that my father and I are preparing to make salt." If she doesn't tell Qing'er about this, she will definitely go back to thinking nonsense, so let's tell her about it!

"What! This is not only my father, you and I know, how did my mother know. ”

"There is no impermeable wall in the world, maybe someone in the house heard it and told my mother that she was not strict in her mouth." Xue Qianxun squinted his eyes and said lightly, the more ordinary his tone was, the more angry he was.

"Does that mother know that Lu Dao is me...... My way out. Tang Qing'er paused and continued.

Xue Qianxun nodded, Tang Qing'er's face turned pale and said, "It's over!" Wouldn't my mother hate me to death?"

Xue Qianxun held her hand and said, "It's okay, when I was leaving, my mother also told me that you are not allowed to disturb you because of other things, so that you can raise the fetus with peace of mind." ”

"But ......" but she is still a little worried, this matter is indeed a bit risky, the father-in-law and the father-in-law are the people that the mother-in-law cares about the most, if something really happens, the mother-in-law must not hate herself.

"Don't worry, my mother is not that kind of person," Xue Qianxun reassured.

Tang Qing'er sat on the chair with some difficulty, suddenly stood up, and said anxiously: "I have to go to my mother's place," I must explain the ins and outs of the matter to my mother-in-law, she doesn't want any misunderstanding between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, which will lead to discord between them.

Xue Qianxun grabbed her and said, "Don't worry, you just came back from outside, and you are worried about your mother's safety, so you haven't had a good rest for a while, and I am accompanying you in a slow mood!" ”

Tang Qing'er hesitated and said, "Okay." ”

Xue Qianxun touched Qing'er's stomach and said, "Aren't they very well-behaved when they go to grandma's house today?"

Hearing this, Tang Qing'er said with a smile: "I haven't shown my belly yet, how can I know if they are obedient or not, and I will be able to know Lu Dao in two months." "At that time, there were already fetal movements, and if they were not obedient, they could show it from their movements.
