Chapter 254: Blue Face and Trouble

However, these didn't last long, Qiu Chen suddenly woke up, turned his eyes to Qin Zheng and asked, "How long will it take?" ”

"Two days after tomorrow!" Qin Zheng replied, and added, "Someone will announce the will!" ”

This Qiu Chen knew the truth, after all, he had already received a holy decree. Nodding slightly, Qiu Chen asked again, "What else is the news?" ”

Qin Zheng groaned: "...... Pixian County Commander Wei Bingcheng...... Chop. Yun Yizhou, the prefect of Anyang, gave proper relief and made meritorious contributions to epidemic prevention, and was promoted to the political envoy of Nanzhili Province; Qinghe County made Wuyunqiao meritorious in epidemic prevention, and promoted Anyang Mansion to the same knowledge; The prefect of Anyang was succeeded by Tang Yanzhang, the current Tongzhi of Anyang. The commander Hu Yan Xunsheng commanded the commander and was transferred to Huaiyang, Anhui...... Huaiyang water bandits are rampant, and it is difficult to travel business, so he called for Yanxun to coordinate the suppression of bandits...... There were few other transfers. ”

Qiu Chen's heart was shaken, this plague actually triggered a major change of blood in Anyang officialdom...... However, except for the Pixian county order, the rest are all promoted, and they are all happy. What she couldn't understand was that Hu Yanxun returned to Anyang with great painstaking efforts, but he was transferred to Huaiyang after a year's hard work...... It shouldn't be what Hu Yanxun is looking for, so what is the hidden reason?

This question mark flashed in Qiu Chen's heart, and she immediately waved it away. Forget it, that person has nothing to do with her. Speaking of which, Hu Yanxun is also promoted, and Huaiyang water bandits are rampant, and he also happens to have something to show his strength.

Putting this aside, Qiu Chen went through it according to the changed officials, Yun Yizhou was transferred to the provincial patrol political envoy, in charge of the financial endowment and personnel of a province, it can be said that she has a grasp of finance and personnel, and the real power is in her hands, which is only good for her. Wu Yunqiao has some friendship, but he is also upright and has nothing to do with her. However, that Tang Tongzhi, since he came to office, has been low-key and has almost no sense of existence, and now he has been promoted to the prefect...... Alas, he was promoted to his prefect, she did her business, besides, she was just in charge of processing, and she was a little hindered by the outside world, and such a low-key person as the Tang prefect should not have any trouble with her.

After going through it again, he made sure that the personnel changes in Anyang officialdom had nothing to do with him, so he immediately threw it away.

"Thank you Master Hou for reminding me, I'll let you clean up the inside and outside and prepare the things to be used." Qiu Chen stood up as she spoke, and when she saw Qin Zheng nodding, she was also slightly blessed, turned around and walked out.

As he walked, Qiu Chen thought. I'm comfortable staying at home these days, and I haven't seen the ten-day copy for a long time. So much so, she hadn't heard any news about such a big thing before. This can't be done, it's okay for her to stay in Liujiaao, but she has to send a letter to Lin Xu and ask him to send her back what happened in Anyang Mansion along with Di Bao.

The holy decree would arrive the day after tomorrow at the latest, and there was not much time for Qiu Chen to prepare.

Qiu Chen came out of the main house in the front yard and immediately found Zhao Jiu and Daxing's family, and they led people to clean up the Sanjin courtyard. After Brother Quan and Liu Zhanfeng left, Lin Zi and Da Zhuang were in charge of two workshops for making soap and processing healing medicine, and asked them to send 20 people from the workshop, take bamboo brooms and shovels, and clean up the road outside the gate of Lin's house and by the pond that extended to the entrance of the village. Qiu Chen's requirements are not high, the garbage bricks are cleaned up, and the uneven places are leveled and compacted.

Even then, it's not easy. In October, the surface of the land had frozen, and it was difficult to shovel and level the soil, and the forty young men were busy for a whole day, and finally cleared and leveled the road from the gate of the Lin family to the entrance of the village.

On the morning of the second day, I found two more stones to press the field, and pulled them back and forth on the paved road for dozens of times, which was completely leveled.

The yard is much easier to clean, and Zhao Jiu also asked if he would repaint the doors and windows, but Qiu Chen rejected it. She asked people to clean up to show respect and attention, but there is no need to make it too much at this time, too bright and gorgeous, not only is it not beneficial, but it is easy to attract people's attention, and the gains outweigh the losses.

After Qiu Chen got the news, he told Yang Liancheng and Liu, Yang Shumeng and Zhao didn't hide it, in the past two days, Qiu Chen just looked around to see the cleanup, but he made the old couple and Zhao nervous and excited, and his face was full of anxiety and nervousness, and the meals were less than usual.

On this day, after Qiu Chen saw the cleaning situation inside and outside, he simply called the Zhao family to talk to the Liu family in the Xili House. Old man Yang Liancheng is also there, Old Man Mu has been thinking about how to vaccinate the children with cowpox for the past few days, Old Man Yang can't speak, and he understands the things in Zhuangzi, so he can only stay in the house to keep warm.

Qiu Chen came in and talked to the second elder and the Zhao family for a while, and seeing that everyone was absent-minded, Qiu Chen simply asked Yufeng to take out the playing cards made during the New Year, and taught the second elder and the Zhao family to learn to play cards.

I have to say that the charm of poker is all over the world, and the second elder and Zhao gradually touched the doorway, and gradually relaxed. Qiu Chen beckoned the Qingjiang family to accompany her, pulled out by himself, and went to the backyard again. Compared with the matter of receiving the order, she cares more about the success of the glass-burning.

On weekdays, ingots and oranges are active in the backyard, and they also build a wooden house in the backyard as a nest, and when they have enough to play in the backyard, the two big dogs will also pass through the porch to the three courtyards to get close to people. Today, in order to prevent ingots and oranges from rushing out of the hall silently, the corridor door of the third courtyard was closed, and the key was on the body of the Qingjiang family.

Qin Zheng stood in the courtyard as soon as he entered, as if he was moving his hands and feet slowly, when he saw Qiu Chen walking out, he stopped his movements and asked with a smile, "Are you ready?" ”

"Well, it's almost ready." Qiu Chen saw that Qin Zheng also took a few steps into the house, and responded with a smile, "It's a Zhuang family, and if you can see it on the big picture, you can do it without pickling, and ...... It's not interesting to say we can't do it. ”

She can see it!

Qin Zheng nodded with a smile and slowly walked to Qiu Chen's side: "That's it...... Are you going to get out of the water? ”

Qiu Chen's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "I'll go to the backyard......"

Speaking of this, he felt helpless, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that ingots and oranges will run out, and the door to enter the backyard is closed...... Hehe, I had to come down the aisle. ”

As soon as these words came out, the smile in Qin Zheng's eyes became a little thicker, and he said with a smile: "Then I'll accompany you over, and I just want to take a walk." …… Ingots and oranges are rare......"

Qiu Chen had no objection, and obediently followed Qin Zheng to turn around, walked out of the main courtyard, and walked along the mezzanine to the backyard.

In the middle of the road, on one side is the quiet courtyard, on the other side is the lively and busy workshop, two people walk side by side, slowly walk over, there is no sound for a while, only the soles of shoes on the blue brick road made a slight sound of stepping, one after another.

Seeing that he had walked to the backyard, Qiu Chen pondered and opened his mouth: "A few days ago, I saw you pinching and grinding and drinking, which reminded me of one thing, the legend of Fan Li of the Yue Kingdom cast bronze glass, I also thought it was interesting, so I found someone to press a stove and try to burn it to see ......."

Qin Zheng's eyebrows were raised, and he looked at Qiu Chen with a side face full of surprise. Qiu Chen was still a little apprehensive, but he was looking at him like this, but he calmed down, looked back at the past with a smile, and his expression was calm with a hint of naughtiness, even puffy, "I, I have nothing to do during this time, so I just want to find something to do...... And it was done! ”

As he spoke, he spread his hands innocently.

Qin Zheng couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hehe, just do it, just burn the glass, it's not a big deal." ”

This time, Qiu Chen was puzzled, she stopped, looked at Qin Zheng and said, "Liuli, it's not a royal thing?" ”

Qin Zheng smiled at her, shook his head helplessly, and said: "The glass of the previous dynasty is exclusively for the royal family, but this dynasty is not as strict as the previous dynasty, but it is used to no one doing it...... The key is that Fang Zi is in the palace to create a bureau, and outsiders don't know it! ”

"Whew...... It's like this, I'm still like a thief, cautious. Qiu Chen let out a long breath and muttered as if in annoyance.

Qin Zheng glanced at her, but finally couldn't say anything, just shook his head helplessly, followed her obviously relaxed footsteps, and went to the backyard.

The two walked to the kiln room in the corner of the backyard, and Qin Zheng stopped at the door. Qiu Chen pushed the door and entered the house, only to turn back consciously: "Why don't you come in?" Don't want to see how the glass is fired? ”

Qin Zheng smiled peacefully, and his eyes seemed to be bright and bright all of a sudden.

This person was born well, but he usually has a paralyzed face, exuding a sense of coldness and alienation that is not close to the living, coupled with the evil aura of long-term battlefield fighting and the majesty of being in a high position, it is easy to ignore his excellent appearance.

At this time, this person was so peaceful, restrained all kinds of cold and sorrowful, and suddenly bloomed with such a bright smile, which really made Qiu Chen deeply and truly appreciate what is called blue face and trouble, and what is beauty and beauty are harmed by the country...... For a while, she was stunned, dizzy and confused, not knowing where she was, what day and night!

"Sister, you're here, come in, come in and have a look......" Yang Shumeng's excited voice came out of the house, and suddenly woke Qiu Chen from his stupor.

"Uh, here, here!" Qiu Chen agreed, quickly adjusted his expression, waved away the embarrassment on his face, and greeted Qin Zheng with a smile, "Let's come in and have a look!" ”

Qin Zheng nodded with a smile in his eyes and followed Qiu Chen into the house.

For Qin Zheng who came over suddenly, Yang Shumeng was somewhat surprised, but he didn't react too much, only glanced at him briefly and nodded, and then pulled Qiu Chen to the brightest big window in the room, and carefully stopped in front of the big desk in front of the window, trying to suppress the joy and excitement that still showed a face full of joy, pointing to a brilliant and crystal clear thin-necked plum bottle on the desk, and said, "Sister, look! ”

To be honest, this bottle is far less exquisite than the various crafts of modern times, but in this era, whether it is the fusion of colors and luster of Ambilight, or the almost perfect shape, it is enough to make people unable to take their eyes off.

Qiu Chen looked up and down intently, then reached out and carefully took the vase in his hand, looking at it up close in the light of the window.

This bottle is made with the blowing process she has seen and has personally used, and it is almost perfect on the table, but when you hold it in your hand and look at it in the light, you can see that there are still some unevenness on the wall, and there are more bubbles...... Well, it's not a blemish for a glass artwork to have bubbles.

Qiu Chen retracted his gaze and did not express his opinion, but turned his hand and handed the bottle to Qin Zheng: "Look at it!" ”

Qin Zheng took it with a calm face, and did not look at the light like Qiu Chen, but carefully looked at the glossy color on the surface, then put it back on the table, looked at it carefully, and nodded approvingly: "It's really good!" Such a bottle is rare in Beijing! ”

Qiu Chen smiled at him, and said in his heart that this Spring and Autumn brushwork is very skillful, he said that 'Jingli' is rare, but it is not 'Palace'...... The difference between this word and the one who doesn't pay attention really can't hear it.

With Qin Zheng's affirmation, it is more effective than Qiu Chen himself said. Yang Shumeng and Jialiang next to him burst into smiles and excitement at the same time, making Qiu Chen, who was watching, only smile and sigh.

With this bottle, Qiu Chen thought of the mountain wine he made, and immediately discussed with Yang Shumeng and Jialiang to make a glass wine bottle with a lid, as well as a glass wine glass...... However, the obvious process is more complicated, and it requires more skill, and I can't be in a hurry.

This bottle was naturally sent to the Duobao lattice in Liu's room, and compared with the previous one, Liu was still happy and excited, but it was almost the same.

After lunch, the official sent by the government to report finally arrived, and the angel arrived at Liujiaao in the middle of the day to deliver a decree to the Lin family.

Qiu Chen asked Zhao Jiuke to politely send the official out of the palace and give him a purse before leaving. The purse is only slightly sinking, and the face of the official remains unchanged, but he is slandering in his heart, after all, he is from a Zhuang family and has never seen the world, but it is difficult to get rid of the small family.

"It's cold, the two masters have worked hard, this is what our wife gave to the two masters, let the two masters buy a cup of hot tea on the way to drink!" Zhao Jiu said politely.

The official also bowed his hand slightly and said politely: "This is what the brothers should do, let the lady break the bank." Leave! ”

Riding away from the Lin family and walking to the entrance of Liujiaao Village, the official behind him took a step forward and said, "Look at how much silver you have been given...... I heard that although the Lin family has been prosperous for a short time, they are very generous, and after their second master's mansion tried it, the first three batches of good news were all ten taels of silver rewards! ”

The official in front of him pouted in disbelief, "That's probably because of my buddy's small face, or it's a holy decree...... Ahem, anyway, it's not ten taels of silver this time, you see, it's just a little fluttering......"

As he spoke, he took the purse out of his bosom, and then poured the contents of the purse into the palm of his hand......

"Look at ...... Uh, it's gold?! He was lazily trying to show his companions, but before he could finish speaking, he exclaimed.

The thing that was poured out of the purse was not large, nor too heavy, but it was golden and yellow, and in the faint winter sun, it still exuded a charming brilliance - it was actually four round and smooth red gold beans, each one full of one or two sinks. Four is four taels, and according to the current gold and silver exchange ratio of ten to one, it is forty taels of silver!

"Ha Lu Ha...... I'll just say, the Lin family is generous, this time back, if those bastards know the truth, there will be no blood in their eyes! The other official smiled with joy on his face, reached out and pinched two golden beans from the hands of the first officer, pinched them with two fingers, held them in front of his eyes and looked at them carefully for a long time, turned his head and said with a smile, "This kind of good luck is not something that everyone has...... Brother, you said we ......"

"Well, well, let's do it, we got a large reward of ten taels, and it's not good to have a dime, Ming'er called the brothers in the yamen to go to the guest house and invite them to have a meal."

The other official also knew it, and agreed repeatedly, and the two of them discussed carefully how to bring wine and how to deal with it, and went back to the city happily.

As soon as the officials who reported the report left, Lin Xu, who got the news, also rushed back by car. Qiu Chen greeted him outside the second gate, took Lin Xu into the second courtyard together, and instructed Yuliang to wait for Lin Xu to take a bath and change clothes, and then came to Liu's room in the main house together. Lin Xu said hello to Liu's invitation, went to the West Courtyard again, sent the objects and silver brought back by Lin Xianniang, and asked a few more questions about Mrs. Lin's diet and daily life, and said for two or three quarters of an hour, then resigned and returned to the East Courtyard.

When the family got together, it was a happy event, and naturally it was a happy gathering, and the family had dinner together. The next day was to receive the order, although everyone was excited this night, but they didn't dare to stay up late, after a few words, they dispersed and went back to the house to rest.

Lin Xu said goodbye to the second elder of the Yang family, and the Junwen and Junshu brothers hugged and laughed, and walked out to the second courtyard.

Qiu Chen smiled and comforted the second elder, and Yang Shumeng also smiled and said: "You don't have to be afraid, this is a rare happy event, let's just kowtow...... Besides, there are only one or two people from Beijing, and the others are all the soldiers of our county government. "After the experience of receiving an order, Yang Shumeng was obviously much more relaxed.

Liu glared at his son and said angrily: "This is what you can say!" ”

Yang Shu smiled fiercely and said, "Well, don't say it, don't say it, your second elder has a good rest tonight, didn't the person who came to announce it today, Ming'er will only arrive in the middle of the day!" ”

Speaking of this, Yang Shumeng looked back at Qiu Chen and said, "Sister, do you want Ming'er to stay here for a meal?" ”

Qiu Chen shook his head: "It is estimated that the angel who issued the decree will not stay...... It's just that you also have to be prepared, after receiving the order, there will inevitably be people who come to the door to congratulate you, and some people may want to stay for a meal...... After all, we live in a partial way, and some of them come to the door to catch up with the meal, and some can't say that they don't keep the meal. ”

Zhao listened quietly beside him, and when he heard Qiu Chen say this, he moved, and turned his eyes to look at Liu and his husband, but he didn't make a sound.

Qiu Chen's gaze turned, but he saw her hesitation, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, this time there is my mother and second sister-in-law, and I will be cheeky to give it to you when it comes to preparing ingredients and cooking...... However, I also told you, just watch it twice in the past, but don't do it yourself, if you are tired of any of you, I can't explain it! ”

Zhao smiled and agreed, and Liu smiled directly: "Don't worry, the Daxing family and the Qingjiang family are all neat people, with them here, how can we do it!" ”

After a few more words, the family dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest.

Although preparations had been made, early the next morning, before dawn, everyone in the Lin family got up and busied. The mother-in-law and girls cleaned the inner and outer yards several times more carefully and seriously than usual, and the servants and servants went to the door to clean again.

Qiu Chen was used to getting up early, got up with the children, and when she went out, she was not too early, Yang Liancheng, Old Man, Liu, Yang Shumeng and Zhao had already gotten up, and they were all tidy up and walking out.

Smiled helplessly, and greeted the happy family, Qiu Chen went straight to the front yard, re-read the incense and candle offering table to be used to receive the order, and took out the holy decree and the royal pen handbook offered in the east room, and re-offered it to the main hall, and looked around, making sure that the inside and outside were neat and clean, and not losing the simplicity, then walked out of the door and went to the school to say leave to Mr. Pan and Mr. Yuan. This matter is a rare honor, and it is best for the family not to fall, at least the concept here is like this, and Qiu Chen has no choice but to follow the customs.

Mr. Ding lived in the courtyard, Qiu Chen turned back from the school, and saw Mr. Ding standing in the courtyard, Qiu Chen greeted with a smile, and said about today's leave.

Mr. Ding smiled and congratulated him: "Congratulations to the lady of the owner." Inheriting the grace of heaven is a big deal, and it is also appropriate to take a day off. ”

"Thank you, sir." Qiu Chen smiled and bent his knees in return, and said: "Someone may come to the door to congratulate me today, and when the time comes, I will have to bother a few gentlemen to take care of one or two for me." ”

Mr. Ding agreed without hesitation, and said a word or two to Qiu Chen, and Qiu Chen said goodbye and went back to the backyard.

After eating a tasteless breakfast, the family went back to the house to get ready.

The reason for this award is Qiu Chen's contribution to entering the epidemic area, and naturally Qiu Chen is the protagonist, so he has to bathe and tidy up again. After coming out, Yufeng and Qingxing had already prepared the clothes to wear, although they were always quiet and generous, they were new clothes that had not been touched once.

It's so busy, time flies, and soon it's time.

The news that the Yubi Lin family is going to receive the order again is like a gust of wind, and it has already spread all over Liu Jiaao, and spread all over the surrounding villages, at this time, the angel has not yet seen the shadow, but the outside of the Lin family is already full of Liu Jiaao and the surrounding villages to come to see the strange villagers.

Qiu Chen looked at the silver-blue embroidered long jacket, as well as a dry hairpin ring jewelry prepared by Yufeng Qingxing, his head was big, and it was still early to shirk the hour, and he only wore a thin cotton jacket and pants lined in the house to watch the children clean up.

The two brothers and sisters of Ah Fu and Ah Man are also dressed in new clothes, Ah Fu is dressed in royal blue brocade and wearing a bachelor's scarf of the same color, although he is still small, he already has the demeanor of a graceful scribe; Aman is a big red half-length rabbit fur jacket, a cherry red skirt, and a string of small and delicate golden bells on the small buns on both sides of the head.

In this way, the two babies were packed up, and after the end of the day, Qiu Chen couldn't shirk it anymore, so he had to take off the coat and wear it, a silver-blue long jacket with an indigo blue skirt, a begonia hairpin and a begonia white jade comb on his head, only a mutton fat jade bracelet was worn on his wrist, and a white jade pisces was also worn around his waist.

Coming out of the house and entering the West House, the second elder of the Yang family and the Zhao family also cleaned up, and just after saying a few words, they had already rushed in to report the news, and the angel had arrived at the entrance of the village, so let him hurry up and go to continue.

------Off topic------

For the sake of a seal, I checked the information for most of the day, but I didn't write it...... Well, Ming'er will use it
