I don't know what the formula is for Old Man Mu's medicine, Qiu Chen took it once, and after sleeping for two days and two nights, he took it again the next day, but he didn't have nightmares anymore, and he didn't wake up, just a good night's sleep. After taking it three times in a row, Old Man Mu stopped giving her the requiem medicine. Instead, I continued to take pills to condition my body.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Yang Shumeng returned to Liujiaao on time. Took over the work of the workshop. Qiu Chen didn't have to pay attention to the things outside, he only took care of the housework every day, and then went to the greenhouse for a turn, and the rest of the time was spent resting in the house to recuperate.

I don't know if it was the requiem medicine that worked, Qiu Chen felt that his heart was calm, and he was no longer always pressing himself, and he kept working hard and trying hard.

Really relieved, looking at the current situation, Qiu Chen felt that his previous efforts were important, but he was a little suspicious of urgency. Sometimes, there is no conflict between hard work and relaxation, and only by learning to relax can you keep yourself energized and keep going.

Qiu Chen made a plan for his life, got up with the children in the morning, and then went outside to walk around the pond in front of the door twice. After breakfast, I went to the glass greenhouse to have a look.

The sweet potatoes have already grown seedlings and are just waiting to be transplanted into the vegetable garden after they are cultivated. He had just gotten sweet potatoes, and the quantity was limited, so Qiu Chen thought about trying to plant two seasons, breed them in one year, and then plant them in the field next year.

In the afternoon, after Qiu Chen's lunch break, he accompanied the children to read and write in the room.

The Lantern Festival came in a blink of an eye, Qiu Chen did not take the children out, but still hung all kinds of lanterns by the pond in front of the door, and called on the people in the village to hang the lanterns they bought and made at home, guess the lantern riddles lively, eat the Lantern Festival, and be very happy.

After the fifteenth day of the first month, the year is far away. All walks of life have started the new year's work. Farmers have also gone to the fields to check the moisture, and the soil has not yet thawed, but the farmers have begun to load fertilizer into the fields to prepare for spring planting.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the brothers of Junwen Junshu and the gentlemen of the school rushed back, Qiu Chen set up a large table to feast on the gentlemen, and the families in the village who had children going to school also came to the door one after another, sending bundles, food, clothes, and supplies to express their hearts.

On the seventeenth day of the first month, the school officially opened.

Without the children making noise at home, Qiu Chen reads and writes by himself in the afternoon.

After writing two large characters, Qiu Chen suddenly remembered the notebook with hidden handwriting. It just so happened that all the girls in the house had been sent away by her, and there was no second person, so she took out the notebook from the kang cabinet, and then carefully moistened one.

The paper was wet, and slowly rows of simplified characters appeared--

I, Yang Youqin, was originally an ordinary civil servant, but I didn't expect an earthquake to come here, the Southern Song Dynasty, the Central Plains are full of wars, and the beautiful homeland is full of scorched earth......

Although Qiu Chen made a guess when she saw Chinese Simplified, she still felt shocked when she really saw the words left by her predecessors and confirmed that there were also people like her who came to this world from modern times.

After a burst of excitement calmed down, Qiu Chen couldn't help but sigh again, but unfortunately, this Comrade Yang Youqin came too early, more than a hundred years earlier than her! Alas, if you were born in the same era, maybe you can still meet and tell your hometown!

Qiu Chen then looked down--

As a dignified Chinese man, and I am a descendant of the Yang family, how can I let foreigners bully? What kind of prince will Xiangning have? The small court of the Southern Song Dynasty lingered, did not want to forge ahead, forgot the hatred of losing the country and humiliating the family, and in a corner of Gou'an, we and other Chinese men should rise up...... After 23 years of bloody battles, I finally drove Beirong out of the Central Plains, so that the Chinese civilization would not suffer a catastrophe from a foreign low-level civilization......

Seeing this, Qiu Chen's hand shook and he almost threw the thing in his hand out.

Yang Youqin? Poplar? Isn't today's royal family surnamed Yang!

Obediently, my colleagues actually expelled the extremely strong Mongolian people, and also established the country and became the emperor himself!

In contrast, it is too pediatric to make a few prescriptions and make a few small inventions to start a small business!

She was not born in the same era as others, and even if she was born in the same era, she didn't have the courage to go to her fellow countrymen and talk about her friendship! She is not a person on the table at all!

After receiving a little blow, Qiu Chen sighed a few times and looked behind him a little bit. After Yang Youqin briefly introduced his experience, a large part of the space behind it turned out to be his thoughts and memories of modern times. In this era, he is the king of a country and the founder of the country, but he still feels lonely, and many things cannot be said at all, and no one listens. Yang Youqin misses modern and convenient transportation, and also misses all kinds of modern convenient living equipment: air conditioning, mobile phones, computers...... Even a stove and a range hood!

At the back of the least, Yang Youqin sighed a lot, and then wrote a few recipes according to his own memories, including glass, cement, and gunpowder...... Then he sighed that he studied sociology, and these things were just some superficial hearsay, and they were of no use except for the fact that gunpowder had been tried a few times, and the ratio of black powder had only been improved.

This is where the narrative comes to an abrupt end. Qiu Chen tried the next few pages in a row, but no handwriting appeared again, so he had to give up.

Covering the scroll silently, Qiu Chen couldn't help but sigh, fortunately she didn't have such great ambitions, what kind of regime emperor or something, this colleague expelled the Tartars and created a prosperous generation, so what? On the contrary, she is more lonely and lonely than her, is this considered a high place and unbearable?

That's it, she doesn't have to envy others' high ability, nor does she have to envy others for their achievements, she still thinks it's better for the family to be happy and lively.

Moreover, looking at this codex this time, she was not without gains, at least the second half of the recipes for firing glass, gunpowder, cement, etc., were still very useful to her. Just to explain where she got those things from!

I was excited, sighed, and before I knew it, it was already dark. Yufeng came in from outside the door, picked up the velvet and lit the lamp, and said with a smile: "Madam, it's not early, you can rest for a while, the young master and the young lady are coming back, and it's time for dinner in a while." ”

Qiu Chen suddenly came to his senses and instructed Yufeng to find a carved wooden box, put the book in it, and lock it with a small brass lock.

After a while, Qiu Chen changed his attention again. These hidden characters are written in simplified characters, how can she say it when she takes it out? Say she knows the words? Alas, let's put it up first. I'll talk about it when I use it later!

At the end of the first month, the sweet potato seedlings in the greenhouse were already 20 centimeters. Some of the vegetables in the greenhouse were cleaned out, and two vegetable beds were vacated, and Qiu Chen specially asked people to transport two truckloads of sandy soil to add the mountain soil in the vegetable garden to the sandy soil, which was more conducive to the growth of sweet potatoes, and then cultivated the soil with good bottom fertilizer into strip-shaped ridges, about 30 centimeters high and about 40 centimeters wide, and planted sweet potato seedlings on these soil ridges. She has little planting experience, and the reason why she does this is because she has seen sweet potatoes planted in the ground, which are planted in this way. Now that I think about it, it should be to facilitate drainage and the expansion of sweet potato roots.

Last year, Qiu Chen's potatoes and corn were good things, and this year, as soon as he planted this sweet potato, it attracted the attention of the family. Especially a few small ones, I ate sweet potatoes once last year, and the sweet and soft glutinous taste made them unforgettable, and now that they have planted them, does it mean that in autumn, they can eat them with their bellies open?

When the sweet potatoes were planted, Qiu Chen took his two family members to start cultivating potato seedlings.

Now it is the end of the first month, potato seedlings are cultivated, it takes about half a month to act, and it is the middle of February, when the soil should be thawed, but the ground temperature is still low, just last year's bran and wheat grass is still better, sprinkle these things into the ground, keep warm, and then rot and become fertilizer in the ground.

Busy, February 2 passed.

On the fifth day of the second month, Qin Zheng sent Qin Yi to send a letter, saying that he would come over on February 16 to give a dowry gift.

The dowry gift is the fourth sign of the six rites, which is the meaning of the bride price. The Book of Rites? Shi Dusk Ceremony" Kong Yingda Shu: "Those who recruit will also be hired for money." Sign, Cheng also. Marry first, and then get married. ”

On the sixth day of the first month, Tang Wu personally came to the door.

Qiu Chen welcomed in, and the two saluted each other, and let Tang Wu sit on the couch. Qingxing brought the tea, Tang Wu took it but didn't drink it, put it directly on the couch, took Qiu Chen's hand with a smile on his face and said, "This time I want to say hello to you." Sixteen Jingli Liang Guogong Mansion is going to send someone over to give a dowry gift...... Hehe, this time it's good, since Liang Guogong is willing to come to the next job, it means that Liang Guogong has also recognized this family business......"

Speaking of this, Wu paused slightly, and then said: "Don't blame me for speaking straight, I was really worried about you before, and I couldn't get along with my in-laws after I got married, so I was embarrassed." Alas, now that the Liang Guogong Mansion has come to send you off, this is a gesture and has recognized you, the daughter-in-law of the eldest son-in-law, and in the future, your life will be better. Although Master Qin is good and good to you, he is a man after all, and he can't interfere in some women's affairs...... It's great to be like this now. ”

Wu's words were a little vague, she was embarrassed to say that like Qiu Chen, a daughter-in-law who has not been approved by the family marries into the door, it is very likely that she will not be recognized, and when the time comes, there is a possibility that she will become an outer room or a concubine. After all, after passing the door, you have to worship the heir of the sect to be considered to be recognized by the family, like the marriage between Qiu Chen and Qin Zheng before, only Qin Zheng himself came forward to invite the matchmaker, and after the first three ceremonies of the six ceremonies, the Duke of Liang did not have the slightest movement, and it is really difficult to say whether he can go to worship the heir after passing the door......

A hint of surprise flashed in Qiu Chen's eyes, and then he got up and said, "Thank you sister for mentioning it, otherwise I wouldn't know about these many things." ”

The Wu family only regarded Qiu Chen as a villager, and she didn't understand the rules and etiquette in these masters, and she didn't put it in her heart, but she only saw that Qiu Chen was so polite, and she no longer hid her secrets, and explained the rules and etiquette in various marriages to Qiu Chen in detail.

She didn't know the way, Qiu Chen didn't know that the road was not because she was born in a villager, but that Qiu Chen was not a person who grew up in this era, modern marriage is free, not to mention that the family does not recognize it, that is, the parents block it, don't you still get married, get married, have children, who can really stop it? Who would have thought that in this era of family-oriented, getting married requires not only the approval of the elders, but also the approval of the family...... No wonder in ancient times it was called marriage 'the good of two surnames'!

While sighing, Qiu Chen didn't dare to be sloppy, listened carefully to Wu's introduction of various rules and etiquette in marriage, and slowly compared what he was experiencing, except for the Liang Guogong Mansion, which had no action before, the other Qin Zheng had done enough. She was speechless.

It was already afternoon when Wu rushed over, and the children came back to visit, and Wu gave Junwen Junshu and others a purse, which contained six gold bills, what flowers bloomed richly, what pen ingots were wishful, and so on. The one given to Fu'er Man'er is slightly different, Fu'er is a jade pendant of a green jade lotus, and the one given to Man'er is a forbidden step of a white jade lotus, the jade is of high quality, smooth and clean, and it can be seen that they are all good things.

After talking for a while, Junwen Junshu took a few small ones to the West House for dinner, Qiu Chen accompanied the Wu family to eat on the couch in the east room, and cleaned up the east room and let the Wu family stay, and she took Aman to live on the kang in the Afu house.

This is the first time in the family that there are female guests from outside to stay overnight, and it is naturally difficult for female guests to go to the guest rooms in the outer courtyard...... Qiu Chen sighed secretly, it seems that his yard needs to be expanded again, and it would be good to build another yard.

This thought rose up, and Qiu Chen shook his head amusedly. She still doesn't know whether she wants to marry and go to the capital, so she still doesn't want to build a lot of construction for the time being.

Next to him, Afu Amandu was already asleep, but Qiu Chen couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.

After a long time, she simply came to the second room, Yufeng, who was on duty on the couch outside, hurriedly got up and lit the lamp for Qiu Chen, Qiu Chen waved his hand and said, "You go to sleep, I'll write a letter!" ”

Yufeng nodded and laid out pen, ink, paper and inkstone for Qiu Chen, poured another cup of tea and brought it up, and obediently retreated to the side, but did not go to sleep. Qiu Chen had no choice but to pick up his pen and start writing...... It's just that when she lifted the pen, she felt that she couldn't put it down, so she asked, can she not marry into the capital? Or ask, can she live in Anyang and live separately from her man?

Not to mention that in this era, men can have three wives and four concubines, that is, in modern times, those who are in love and married in two places, how many can resist the sense of separation caused by distance, and the loneliness and loneliness when they are alone?

Forget it, she still doesn't ask.

Since you have promised to get married, you should manage your marriage well, and I hope to make it an experience without regrets.

Yufeng waited for Qiu Chen to enter the back room to rest, turned back to look at the blank paper with a drop of thick ink, was stunned for a moment, then packed up his things and went back to rest. She waits by his wife's side every day, but she can see that his wife has two children, her mother's family has no support, the children are young, and she works alone without any help, from such a miserable situation to today...... It's really not easy!

In the future, the wife will marry into the Hou Mansion and become the wife of such a high-ranking Hou Ye...... Among them, I'm afraid there will be more difficulties!

Qiu Chen got up and tossed around, although he didn't write a letter, but he also let himself understand some things, straighten out some thoughts, and no longer be entangled, and he fell asleep not long after.

Married to Qin Zheng, if she wants to go to the capital, she will go to the capital, she still doesn't believe it, she is also a colleague, the old Yang seniors can expel the Tartars and reign in the world, does she not even dare to enter the capital? What happened to the capital? In the modern capital, with a population of 30 or 40 million, how great is the employment pressure, isn't she also mixed...... also got ahead, and also had his own achievements and life?

Well, she wants to buy another courtyard in the capital, and the Guo family also gave a Zhuangzi on the bank of the Tongzhou River...... In any case, being able to live in Beijing is definitely good for the children!

On the second day, after breakfast, Tang Wu said goodbye and returned to Anyang City, saying that on the 16th, she would come to the door with the Tang prefect and preside over the appointment ceremony. Qiu Chen naturally thanked and thanked, and gave a few of his latest spray-type flower dew to Tang Wu's family, which was rare for Tang Wu's family.

After Tang Wu left, Qiu Chen returned to a plain and quiet life, going to the backyard every day to see the greenhouse, and turning back to see the writing and writing.

On the ninth day of the second lunar month, Er Kui followed the car back to Liujiaao and met Qiu Chen. The two of them discussed, and they didn't want to go back to Liujiaao.

Erkui said: "I have a temperament with Hongmei, and I will be bullied wherever I go, so I will follow you in the future." "As he spoke, he knelt down.

Qiu Chen was somewhat surprised, and was slightly stunned, and Erkui had already knelt down and kowtowed. Qiu Chen sighed, didn't stop it, and raised his hand to let him get up: "I understand what you mean, if you are willing to follow me, then follow me." ”

Immediately, Daxing, who came back together, was passed in, and asked him to bring Erkui with him when he went to Pixian Zhuangzi again. So he sent Erkui out of the city.

When Erkui went out, Qiu Chen explained to Daxing: "Let you bring Erkui is one, and you will wipe it again, but there is still a suitable person to manage Zhuangzi, pick it out to be the head of the village." Well, to give you a year, this year our farms are trying to plant new crops, and the number of harvests will be there, and the income will be determined in the future. ”

Daxing lowered his hand and agreed.

Qiu Chen said again: "After I enter Beijing, I will inevitably bring my own people, Yufeng and Yuqiang are going to follow me, you discuss with Yufeng Niang, are you willing to stay or are you willing to follow ......"

Daxing agreed and sent the purchase list brought this time: "Madam, this is the list of items that the Yun family and the Liao family helped to purchase this time." ”

Qiu Chen took it and glanced at it, there was wood, silk and so on, a large list, the silk was to be used by her to buy a dowry and enter Beijing, and the wood was the red sandalwood and huanghuali that she bought by the way, which she bought back with her words, and used it to repay favors, or to spare it in the future. This time, because there was no accumulation of wood for her dowry, she collected some from several places in the Yun family, the Liao family, and the Guo family to make up the number.

Nodding, Qiu Chen said to Daxing: "It's hard for you to be busy outside every day, and it's rare to get together with your family and children." Let Yufeng and Yuqiang go back tonight, and your family will also talk. ”

Daxing thanked him and forced his hands to retreat.

In the evening, the Daxing family made an exception and was not busy in the kitchen, but in their own small courtyard, their daughter Yufeng helped cook a few dishes with their hearts, and Zhang Luo had dinner with the family.

When he had almost eaten, Daxing told his wife what he had said during the day, and then consulted with his wife and children: "What do you think?" ”

Yuqiang was the first to call: "Of course I went to the capital with me, the capital is so prosperous, not to mention, my wife entered Beijing this time, but it is Mrs. Hou of the Hou Mansion in Jingbei, my father followed, if he became the big housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, what a majesty it should be!" ”

Daxingjia raised his hand and slapped Yuqiang, and said with a smile: "What nonsense are you bastard, listen to your father." ”

Yuqiang rubbed his head and pursed his lips, looking at Daxing with blank eyes: "Dad, do you think the capital is not good?" ”

Daxing didn't answer his son's question immediately, but looked at his daughter and said, "Feng'er, what do you think?" ”

Yufeng was silent, and slowly spoke: "Daddy, my daughter follows my wife, knows Mrs. Ludao's temperament, and treats her gentlemen gently...... If what Yuqiang said also has two truths, if his wife is not familiar with life in Beijing, she will inevitably need her own manpower. ”

Daxing nodded, still looking at Yufeng, he could see that his daughter still had something to say.

Yufeng really said again: "It's just that Daddy is familiar with Anyang, and the familiar things are also taking care of the Zhuangzi business everywhere...... The wife's Zhuangzi and the workshop stayed in Anyang, and it was inevitable to find a reliable person to watch, which was also an opportunity for my father......"

Daxing squinted his eyes and didn't speak immediately, picked up a glass of wine and slowly sipped it, while pondering, it took a while before the wine was finished.

Daxing put the wine glass on the table, looked at Yufeng and said, "My daughter has grown up!" ”

Yufeng smiled and poured wine for Daxing, Yuqiang pulled Daxing's sleeve and asked, "Dad, isn't it an opportunity to enter Beijing?" The lack of manpower around my wife is not also an opportunity? ”

Daxing looked back at his relatively naïve son, raised his hand to touch his son's head, and sighed with a smile: "You still have to learn more from your sister." In the future, I will also learn not to always be like the fire head, I can't hide anything, remember to watch more, listen more, think more, and talk less! ”

Yuqiang nodded ignorantly, opened his mouth, and finally held back.

Daxing came back and reported that he was willing to stay and look at the Zhuangzi industry for Qiu Chen, Qiu Chen didn't seem surprised, and agreed with a smile. Later, he called the Qingjiang family, the Shunzi family, and the Zhao Jiu family to inquire, and finally determined that the Qingjiang family went to Nannuma Lake to help Yang Shuyong steward. The Shunzi family was willing to follow, and Qiu Chen asked the Daxing family to manage the inner courtyard of the Anyang Mansion in the past. Zhao Jiu's family still stayed in Liujiaao, helping Yang Shuyong take care of the workshop, and also took care of more than 200 acres of land in Liujiaao.

In this way, except for the two members of the Shunzi family, the subordinates that Qiu Chen can take away are all girls and boys, and there are no descendants who have a family.

Qiu Chen called Jialiang and others to inquire, and a few others were just fine, all saying that they were at Qiu Chen's disposal, and Jialiang was also at Qiu Chen's disposal, but the ink and the others all retreated, and they refused to leave, and then knelt down and asked Qiu Chen to marry Xiaoxi.

"Xiaoxi?" Qiu Chen was slightly surprised.

Xiaoxi entered the mansion with Yuegui and others, and in terms of appearance, it can only be regarded as modest, far less than Yuegui and Chunxiang. Unexpectedly, Jialiang, who is also outstanding among the people, actually took a fancy to Xiaoxi.

Jia Liang honestly knelt on the ground, blushing and said, "Madam, it's all small and bad, and it has nothing to do with Miss Xiaoxi......"

"Oh, it's just your own mind?" Qiu Chen looked at Jia Liang, whose embarrassed face was almost red and dripping blood, and couldn't help but think of pranks.

Jia Liang nodded again and again, and said urgently: "Yes, yes, it's all small and dirty, with bad intentions, and it has nothing to do with Miss Xiaoxi......"

Qiu Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "This is not easy to do. Although my master has the right to be the master for you, I don't want you to form a grudge against you, my girl, if I don't want to, I won't agree to marry her casually, no one! I think, let's let Xiaoxi wait, when she enters Beijing, there must be a better boy for her......"

Jia Lianghuo raised his head and said continuously: "Yes, Xiaoxi must be willing to ......"

As soon as the words came out, Jia Liang saw the banter in Qiu Chen's eyes, and swallowed the second half of the sentence at once, without saying anything, only kowtowing again and again.

Qiu Chen smiled slightly, raised his hand and said, "Okay, you stand aside, I'll call Xiaoxi to ask." ”

Jialiang kowtowed, stood up nervously, and stood up with his hands down to the door. Qiu Chen smiled and motioned to Qingxing, Qingxing covered her mouth and smiled, and called Xiaoxi in an apron in a moment.

Qiu Chen got up, without a smile on his face, and walked straight into the second room: "Qingxing, bring Xiaoxi in." ”

Xiaoxi followed Qingxing in ignorance, thinking that his wife wanted something to eat, Qingxing kept looking at her on the way here, and asked her a few times, but Qingxing just smiled and refused to say, and when she entered the main room, she saw Jialiang standing with his hands hanging down in the door, Xiaoxi was puzzled, and heard Qiu Chen's voice letting her into the house, and she didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly followed Qingxing into the house. Jialiang still wanted to give him a sneak look, but Xiaoxi didn't give him a chance at all, so he had to wait anxiously for the rules.

Calling Xiaoxi into the house, Qiu Chen was full of kind smiles, raised his hand to exempt Xiaoxi, and asked softly: "I don't have anything else to do when I call you here, I just want to ask you if you want to come to Beijing with me." ”

Xiaoxi hurriedly lowered her hand and said: "Madam, Xiaoxi is Mrs. Person, wherever Mrs. goes, Xiaoxi will follow." ”

"Oh?" Qiu Chen raised his eyes to look at Qingxing, the master and servant looked at each other and smiled, and said, "Since this is the case, I won't be in a hurry to give you a marriage, and when I enter Beijing, I will pick a good one for you!" ”

Xiaoxi raised her eyes to look at Qiu Chen, and then looked at Qingxing and Yufeng, who were covering their mouths and smiling, and said in a daze: "But it's up to my wife to decide!" ”

Jialiang couldn't bear it outside after all, looking at no one in the house, so he slowly rubbed under the floor fan to eavesdrop, when he heard this, where could he bear it, poofed and knelt down, and said to the house: "Mrs., the little one is loyal, and I hope that Mrs. will be fulfilled!" ”

Qiu Chen finally couldn't help laughing, looked at Xiao Xi, who was still a little ignorant, raised his hand and said, "You go outside and ask Jialiang, what did he let me fulfill?" ”

At this time, no matter how ignorant Xiaoxi was, she understood what was going on, her face turned red, and she was about to kneel down as soon as her legs were weak.

Qiu Chen hurriedly raised his hand to stop: "Don't kneel, don't kneel, you go and tell him, you want to follow me into Beijing, ask him if he will follow?" ”

Xiaoxi was embarrassed and didn't know whether to agree, so he heard Qiu Chen add: "Tell him again, I will keep you for three years, and you will not be able to marry until you are seventeen years old, and ask him if he will wait!" ”

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

Su Su can't be updated on time in these few days of the month, forgive me......
