Tang Qing'er said: "Well, when the crystals are just formed, you can use a hammer to smash them into crushed salt, so that they won't become white and fine edible salt." ”

"This method is really good, I'll talk to my dad in a while to see if he agrees."

Tang Qing'er nodded and smiled, feeling that he was a little strange, and asked, "Why aren't you surprised after I said these words?"

Xue Qianxun said lightly: "You can do anything, prove that I married a knowledgeable daughter-in-law, I am too late to be happy, how can I be surprised?" In fact, when the two of them were planting mushrooms in the past, they were surprised by what she said to slowly accept it later, and now when she says how to refine table salt, she only asks her where she knows it, and she will not ask about other things.

Tang Qing'er was so forgiven by him, but she was a little uncomfortable, and explained: "I will tell you 1510 in the future, and now you still don't know." ”

"Well, tell me when you want to say it!"

"At this time, it's not good to refine well salt, so let's stay in the summer! Summer is the best season for refining salt,"

Xue Qianxun said: "I know, I will talk to my father about this,"

Tang Qing'er saw that he only said that he would not change, and anxiously pulled his clothes and said, "Then you hurry up and talk to your father, he will start pouring smuggled salt behind your back." ”

Seeing that the little lady was so anxious, Xue Qianxun Shi Ran stood up and said, "Don't worry! I'll just go over."

"Hurry up." Tang Qing'er urged.

I don't know how Xue Qianxun said this to his father-in-law, in short, Xue Qianxun came back and entered the house with a happy face, hugged her and said: "What Master Qingyuan said is really right, you are really my lucky star." ”

"What do you mean?" Tang Qing'er heard the Xue family say this more than once, and when she heard this from Xue Qianxun's mouth today, she couldn't help but question.

Xue Qianxun suppressed the smile on his face and said, "It's nothing, it's just a casual statement." ”

"Really?"

"Is it still fake, come, let's continue to discuss, this matter of refining well salt," took Qing'er's hand and sat on the edge of the bed and asked her a few questions.

Tang Qing'er told him one by one, and also focused on issues such as the temperature of refining salt.

There are still five days before the New Year, Shen called Tang Qing'er to her house, took Qing'er's hand and said: "Every year, three days before the New Year, we have to go to the temple to worship, and this year is no exception, this year my mother wants you to accompany me." ”

On such a cold day, she actually had to climb the mountain to worship the Buddha in the temple, Tang Qinger was a little stunned and said: "Mother, can you not go?" ”

Shen clapped her hand and pretended to be angry: "Don't talk nonsense, what if the Buddha Lord hears your heart and punishes you." ”

Tang Qing'er hurriedly said: "Go, go, you must go." ”

Decided to go to the temple on the mountain to pray for blessings, Tang Qing'er also got busy, originally she didn't want to go, but she was afraid that her mother-in-law would be angry, so she directly agreed, and after going back, she discussed it with Xue Qianxun, this guy decided to accompany her mother-in-law to go with her, and he went to talk to Master Qingyuan to solve his doubts.

It was cold and windy outside, Tang Qing'er was worried about getting cold along the road, but she was also happy to have such an opportunity to go out for a walk, so she tried on it every day, what warm clothes should she wear, and then decided to wear a mink cape, thinking of the winter when she was not married to Xue Qianxun, he wore a mink cloak to his house, and the envy that flashed in her eyes at that time was really able to experience it now, and the more she thought about it, the more excited she became.

On this day, Aunt Guo came over, Tang Qing'er was putting clothes on her body, Aunt Guo first asked Qing'er to say goodbye, and after Tang Qing'er returned the salute, she asked, "I don't know what happened to Aunt Guo coming over this time?" ”

Aunt Guo smiled and said, "It's nothing, just come and talk to the young lady when you have nothing to do,"

"Oh, Zhu'er poured tea for Aunt Guo," and said to Lu'er: "I'm going to take off this clothes on my body, and you can help me bring the lilac cotton jacket on the bed." ”

With the help of Lu'er, Tang Qing'er finally took off a mink coat and changed into normal home clothes, and when she sat on the stool and drank tea with Aunt Guo, Aunt Guo suddenly said: "Young lady, I heard that the temple in our town is very effective,"

Tang Qing'er took a sip of tea and said, "I went to my mother once when I was a child, and the temple is indeed full of fireworks,"

"I don't know what the slave is by, I just listen to the humanity in the town, where the children are sent to the mother, and most of the people in the eight towns go to the mountains to worship the children."

"Really?" Tang Qing'er said lightly.

Aunt Guo continued, "Young lady, the slave maid also wants to go to the mountain with you and your wife to worship the gods, pray for the old lady and the old man, and ask the gods and Buddhas to bless them with good life and health. ”

Tang Qing'er was a little strange when she heard this, what was the use of her going to pray for her father-in-law and her? The two were not equals, so they nodded slightly and did not answer.

Aunt Guo immediately talked about the miracle of the Buddha in the temple on the mountain, Tang Qing'er didn't want to say more to her, so she vaguely echoed a few words, fortunately, she had some eyesight, and talked about the gossip on the side, and left.

Lu'er watched Aunt Guo go out of the courtyard and said to Tang Qing'er, "Madam, is Aunt Guo going to go to the temple with you and your wife?" ”

Tang Qing'er sat on the stool and touched the tea and said slowly: "I didn't promise her anything, she should tell her mother if she wants to go, tell me, what's the use?" ”

Zhu'er also said: "When the slave maid saw Guo Niangniang talking to you, her eyes moved from time to time, and when she said that she had sent her son to Niangniang's miracle, her face was happy, and she obviously wanted you to agree to take her with her." ”

After Tang Qing'er was stunned, she understood a little, and said: "In this way, what she really wants to ask for is to send her son, not to pray for her grandmother and father-in-law." ”

Lu'er is now getting less and less big or small, at this time she covered her mouth and smiled, "I'm afraid it's for the eldest lady, the slave maid heard that the eldest lady married into the Guo Mansion for half a year, and she has not been pregnant yet, and her mother-in-law is very unhappy about this." ”

Tang Qing'er glared at her and said with a smile: "You girl, I don't know about this, you actually know." ”

Lu'er pouted and said, "I listened to what the kitchen lady told me, and you don't know her, her mouth is like a trouser belt, a thief." ”

Poofs twice, Tang Qing'er and Zhu'er laughed together, Qing'er nodded her nose and said, "Out of this house, don't talk nonsense." ”

Lu'er blinked and said, "I only said this to Mrs. and Sister Zhu'er. ”

At this time, Zhu'er interjected: "Madam, some of the slave maid's words may be out of line, but the slave maid is also thinking about you, you should take advantage of this time, you should also beg to send the son Niangniang, although you are young and not in a hurry, but it is better to have children earlier in this Gaomen compound, so that your position in the house can be more solid." ”

Tang Qing'er knew that Zhu'er was really thinking about her, so she said, "I know that you said this for my sake." ”

Lu'er nodded and said: "Sister Zhu'er's words are right, if Mrs. had a son earlier, she would not be more tough in the house, and we can also follow Mrs. to borrow light, and no one can bully us." ”

Tang Qing'er smiled and didn't speak, but Zhu'er's words had rippled a little in her calm heart.

Aunt Guo saw that the young lady couldn't make sense, so she could only go to Mrs. Guo, and after entering the house, she said to Shen flatteringly: "Madam, I heard that the temple on the mountain is very effective, why don't I go with you to worship the Bodhisattva this year." ”

Shen let out a meaningful "oh" and said, "What are you praying for?" ”

Aunt Guo hurriedly said: "To pray for the old lady and the old man." ”

"Well, the lord loves you, you should do this heart, and it's not easy for you to go out of the house, why don't you stay there for a few more days, people say that merit should be done for 7749 days, and it can still be completed, if you are really like this, the Bodhisattva will definitely move you to do this, protect the old lady and the old man in a safe life, no disease and no disaster." Shen Shi looked at Aunt Guo's face carefully while speaking, she had to follow, and it was not good for her to refute her face directly, so she could only talk in a hurry and block her.

Aunt Guo was frightened when she heard this, and said, "Madam, the slave maid still has the fifth lady to take care of, how can she stay on the mountain for so many days." ”

"Isn't there a nurse to take care of?"

Aunt Guo said in a panic: "The slave maid is not worried about Miss Five, so I won't go with you," After speaking, she didn't wait for Shen to speak, and turned around and left directly.

On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar calendar, Tang Qing'er and his entourage set off from the house, a total of two cars, Tang Qing'er and her mother-in-law had a car, and Xue Qianxun had one.

On the carriage, Shen said to Tang Qing'er: "My mother took you to the temple this time, I want to go with you to pay homage to my son, and I hope she can give her a big fat grandson in the coming year." ”

Tang Qing'er blushed and said, "Mother's ......"

Shen continued: "Mother knows that you are still young now, and your body bones have not yet grown, if it weren't for your second aunt and them coming back early, you and Xun'er would not have been able to marry so early, but Mother is still very happy to marry you early." ”

Seeing that Tang Qing'er just lowered her head and didn't speak, she guessed that she must be shy because of what she said, and said with a smile: "Although you are now in charge of the affairs of the mansion, you have just gained a firm foothold, if you have a child, no one will be shocked by your status in the mansion." ”

Tang Qing'er raised her head with a red face and whispered, "Mother, I know that you are all for my good,"

Shen shook his head and sighed: "Mother knows that this matter is a bit forcing you, but your grandmother's body is getting worse and worse now, and she only hopes that she can see you and Xun'er's child born before she closes her eyes,"

"Mother, I know what to do." Tang Qing'er didn't know what her mother-in-law meant, but what could she say, as the daughter-in-law of Xue Mansion, filial piety was greater than heaven, and she couldn't say anything to refute except nodding her head and agreeing.

Shen said: "You are now fourteen years old after this year, and you have reached the age of being able to give birth to a baby, and after the New Year, my mother will invite a doctor who knows gynecology to the house, and let her give you a good look at how this body should be supplemented." ”

Tang Qing'er's face turned redder and redder, so she could only nod and say, "Listen to my mother." ”

"What should Xun'er say?" Xun'er told her before that Qing'er was still young and it was not suitable to have children so early, so she was still waiting for a year or two, and after she heard it, although she was disappointed, she didn't dare to force them.

Tang Qing'er whispered: "Don't worry, mother, I will talk to the prime minister," this time I want a baby, and she has to take the initiative to say it to Xue Qianxun, and he must not let him laugh at himself.

Shen was satisfied with what Qing'er said, and then talked about other topics: "Do you know that Aunt Guo also wants to come with us." ”

Tang Qing'er nodded and said, "She went to my place and told me, but I didn't promise her,"

"Well, she went to look for me too, but I sent her away without saying a word."

"What?" Aunt Guo is a person who has worked hard, how can she be easily told by her mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law is still the kind of person with very soft ears.

Shen's expression at this time was the same as when Xue Qianxun was thinking about things, and he only heard her say lightly: "Aunt Guo said that she went up the mountain this time to pray for the old lady and the old man, so I told her that let her stay on the mountain for seven seven hundred and forty-nine days, this is the merit of the Buddhists said, if she is so sincere, the Bodhisattva will be moved to protect the old lady and the old man in a safe life, no illness and no disaster." ”

Tang Qing'er opened her mouth wide and said 'ah', Aunt Guo originally went to the temple to ask for a son for Xue Ning, but now she heard her mother-in-law say that let her stay in the temple for 7749 days, eat radish and greens every day, no meat, she is a concubine who is used to living a luxurious life, how can she bear it, she can only go back with a disgraced face.

Seeing Qing'er's surprised appearance, Shen couldn't help but smile and said, "You baby, why do you have so many expressions on your face?"

Tang Qing'er hurriedly closed her mouth and said with a smile: "Mother, I'm not scared by what you said,"

The driver said outside, "Madam, you're almost at the foot of the mountain." ”

Shen Shi said lightly: "En," and said to Qing'er: "Okay, okay, come to the foot of the mountain, don't talk nonsense, this is disrespectful to the Buddha, you know no." ”

Tang Qing'er nodded, stretched out the curtain again, and looked at the scenery outside, only to see that the temple on the mountain was decorated with snow and was more solemn.
