Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Establishment of a Household and the Matchmaker

Whether the brothers of the Yang family buy wine, or go to the gear, with the three young servants of the Liao family, they will naturally go along the way, and it will be done.

At dinnertime, Liao Wenqing had just set up dinner, and ** came back, so he casually rewarded him with two dishes and let him eat them and then report the situation. The little girl didn't pay so much attention to eating, and after a while, he was full, wiped his mouth, and then began to report to Liao Wenqing.

"Back to the third young master, I took the Yang family brothers to the old shop of the You family and bought sixty jars of sorghum roast, all of which were twenty catties of large jars; After that, I took the Yang brothers to the county government office, and found Chen Shuban in the yamen, Chen Shuban looked at the Liao family's face, and he didn't ask for much benefit, and he didn't feel embarrassed, so he only received two taels of silver to moisten his hands......"

** One by one, taking Yang Shuyong and Yang Shumeng brothers to do one thing after another, Liao Wenqing nodded when he listened, raised his hand and said: "It's just a change of land deed, two taels of silver...... Hmph, it's quite a bit! ”

** looked up at his master, pondered slightly, and said: "Back to the third young master, in addition to putting the title deed on the Yang family brothers, one more thing is to give them their brother-in-law, that is, Lin Sheng, the original head of the Liu family...... Moreover, not only did he sell the household to Lin Sheng, but also set up a female household for Yang Haitang, that is, Lin Niangzi. However, the title deed still fell into the name of Lin Xu of the Lin family...... The Lin family is now the head of the Lin Xu household. ”

"What? You repeat! Liao Wenqing almost thought that he had misheard and interrupted.

The husband of the Lin family has not returned to the border for nearly three years, and it is rumored that he has died at the border, but there has been no life and death documents. This time, the Yang brothers actually wanted to close their brother-in-law's account. Once the person is closed, it means that the government admits that the person is dead, and Mrs. Lin will confirm the name of the widow.

Although after the founding of this dynasty, a 'dead household sales' was added to the law, but except for those who are officials, there are not many people who do this, after all, forced labor and taxes are collected and supervised by the village, and people are not dead, and they don't look at the household registration at all, so it is not of great significance. So, when the Yang family didn't see Lin Sheng's life and death documents, what was the reason for rushing to sell Lin Sheng's account?

If you only sell the household to Lin Sheng, you can guess that Lin Niangzi is in a hurry to remarry, but this is a female household, so this possibility is vetoed. You must know that the female households of the Ming Dynasty are not said to stand up, and generally set up a female household, that is, they have made up their minds not to marry, or they are ready to give birth and recruit husbands.

**, myrrh are the two personal servants around Liao Wenqing, if you talk about playing smart, myrrh is not weaker than**, but if you talk about calmness and understanding the master's mind, ** is much stronger than myrrh. He naturally knew that his master was different from Liu Jiaaolin's wife, and he was not like **, just playing. According to his observation, I am afraid that this time the third young master of his family is real.

It's just that he is not optimistic about his third young master marrying Lin Niangzi...... Don't say it, the old lady in the family is sad, although the old man is also a little moved, but he just doesn't stop it, but he will definitely not help.

pondered in his heart, but he didn't delay answering the master's inquiry, and when he heard the master ask him to repeat the order, he immediately repeated: "The Yang brothers sold the household to Lin Sheng, and set up a female household for Lin Niangzi." It's just that the female household is just an empty household, and she doesn't have any property and real estate! ”

This time, Liao Wenqing didn't say anything more, carrying a delicate wine jug in his hand, half-leaning on the recliner, squinting his eyes slightly, as if he was tasting the wine carefully, and as if wine tasting was just the appearance, in fact, he was thinking about any major issues...... so he stood silently, waiting for his master's next command.

After a long time, Liao Wenqing sat up straight, handed the wine jug in his hand to the ** hand, and at the same time lightly ordered: "Prepare, return to Qingshui tomorrow!" ”

Besides, Qiu Chen talked to the two brothers of the Yang family, and after asking if it was smooth to go to the county seat, she was still a little worried about Qinghe's family.

Speaking of this, Yang Shuyong frowned slightly, shook his head and said: "Qinghe's family has been asking for a day, and your second brother and I have also helped ask several old guys, and they all said that there is no problem with the surname Wang, and there is no problem with the son, who has been studying at home and rarely goes out...... But there are so many people, and no one can say bad...... Somehow, I always feel that it is not true...... Hehe, maybe it's because people are good at dealing with people, but it's just something wrong! ”

Yang Shuyong obviously had some bad intuition, but he couldn't come up with evidence, so he had to laugh self-deprecatingly.

Qiu Chen was also quite puzzled, could it be that the Wang family was really like Yang Shuyong's self-deprecation, and he was praised by everyone for his thoughtfulness? But as the saying goes, isn't there a saying 'one person is difficult to call a hundred hearts'?

No matter how thoughtful and good you are, it is impossible to satisfy everyone, right?

Yang Shumeng also shook his head and said: "Although it is a bit unrealistic to ask the letter, we have all gone to see the situation of the Wang family, it is really good, I think, it is no worse than the old Liu family in your village." It was a town where a house cost a lot more than the village. ”

Yang Shuyong and Qiu Chen nodded at the same time in agreement.

Immediately, Qiu Chen got up and said with a smile: "Okay, let's just help inquire, as for whether to choose this family, the Qinghe family has to make their own decisions...... The two brothers are tired for a day, so let's rest. I'm back in the house! ”

Very, disturbing the quiet night, the courtyard of the Lin family extinguished the lights, and it was quiet again.

Qiu Chen slept hot, kicked the quilt messily Jun Yan and Ah Fu Ah Man covered the quilt, and comforted Jun Zhang to sleep, and then re-burrowed into the quilt.

After lying down, Qiu Chen still felt a little excited in his heart, from today...... No, since yesterday, she's a widow in the name of it. But at the same time, with a female household, she can also do things openly and earn money to support her family. As for the rest, what is the birth of a husband...... She didn't think about it, and she didn't take it too seriously.

Whether it is a marriage or a man, in her cognition, it is impossible to meet, and if she can meet a man who knows that she understands her love and cares for her children, she will not stick to it, but if not, she will never force it.

Well, let it be! Isn't there a saying, there will be a person waiting for you at the corner of the street in front......

Thinking silently, Qiu Chen gradually fell asleep.

This night, Qiu Chen dreamed that he was back in college life--

In the dormitory, the roommate who was promoted as a good wife and mother was holding a ball of smoky blue wool and weaving it hard, even though there were two eye-catching blue marks on his lower eyelids, it was difficult to hide his face full of happiness.

In a blink of an eye, the roommate stood on the bridge and waved at a large group of them, crying and waving: "I used to believe in aiqing so much, but later I got it but it was toying and ruthless betrayal, aiqing is dead, what am I still alive for?" ”

With a pop, she and her roommates rushed over, only to see a splash of water, merciless and cold!

Qiu Chen woke up suddenly, his heart was still beating wildly, and the sound of his heartbeat was very clear in the quiet night!

With her eyes wide open, it took a long time for Qiu Chen to come to her senses, raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead, Qiu Chen let out a long breath, she had already left that shijie, what aiqing is not aiqing, she is living a good life first now, and she will live with a few children......

Frightened by this, Qiu Chen thought that he would lose sleep, but he didn't expect to fall asleep when he closed his eyes, and he fell into a dream again.

However, this time, she didn't dream back to modern times, it was still this place, it was still this home, it's just that a tall man strode over against the light, getting closer and closer.

She heard Lin Xu shouting eldest brother, and she also heard Ah Fu Aman calling her father crisply......

She herself froze, watching the man walk towards her past Lin Xu and Ah Fu Aman, getting closer and closer, the temperature of her whole body seemed to gradually recede with the man's footsteps, her hands and feet, limbs, torso, and then it seemed that even her heart was frozen!

The man got very close, but Qiu Chen still couldn't see his face clearly.

He called in a low voice: "Begonia! ”

Then he stretched out his hand towards her, Qiu Chen's whole body was cold, and the fear and rejection spread from the bottom of his heart, shouting and screaming......

Call! Qiu Chen actually sat up directly from the quilt this time, his hands were still tightly gripping the quilt, and his back pajamas were soaked with cold sweat.

What's wrong with her, she usually doesn't even have a dream, why do she have such unbelievable nightmares one after another!

The first dream was blurry, but the second was exceptionally clear. That tall man, Lin Xu is called Big Brother, that is Lin Sheng. The man who can't see anyone alive or alive......

Qiu Chen endured the cold, shivered and went to the box to get a set of dry pajamas to change, and got into the bed with almost no heat again, Qiu Chen thought hatefully, whether he was alive or not, that man left the family at home, and there was no arrangement, if she didn't happen to pass through, these people might have starved to death. Even if you don't starve to death, I'm afraid you'll become a wanderer or a beggar at this time! Anyway, the grave is gone, and the household is gone, so she will treat him as dead, and she won't recognize him alive!

With this single thought, this time Qiu Chen actually slept well, and when he opened his eyes again, the sky was already bright, shining in through the window paper, making last night's nightmare seem to have become an illusion.

Gently patting his cheek, Qiu Chen got up and dressed on the kang.

What aiqing, what husband and wife, no food, rice, food, no clothes to keep out the cold, all of them are nonsense!

She still has a lot of things to do today, how can she have those idle things to find and touch!

On the morning of this day, after the second distillation was carried out again, the two batches before and after steamed a total of 30 catties of alcohol of appropriate concentration, and the other 15 and a half jars were divided into two catties of jars. Junwen's hand was already scabbed, so he insisted on wearing gloves and practiced spinning with his left hand.

Qiu Chen spun it six times in the morning, and this time she increased the amount of medicine, and she could make more than 400 pills in one spin. I got more than 2,000 pills in one morning. Junwen slowly spun it, and also got a batch, the quantity was slightly less, only more than a hundred grains. Added up, it's almost 5,000 grains.

Yang Shuyong and Yang Shumeng brothers took Erkui and drove out again, they went to buy Qiu Chen's fruit trees and ginkgo trees. As soon as Qiu Chen mentioned planting trees in the morning, Yang Shumeng said that he happened to know a tree planter, and there were many fruit trees and flowers planted, and Qiu Chen wanted nothing more than ordinary fruit trees and ginkgo trees, so he directly drove three carriages and bought saplings to transport them back for planting.

In their place, the good season for planting trees is just thawed to before the Qingming Festival, and before the seedlings germinate, the survival rate is high. Now after Qingming, the trees have sprouted, although transplanting has an extra layer of difficulty, but it can also guarantee that it will survive ninety percent. If you wait for the leaves to grow, it will be really difficult to survive before transplanting.

Because this batch of drugs was crushed, Liu Zhanxiang, Lin Zi, and Quan Ge'er were arranged by Qiu Chen to help Lao He release water.

In this era, there were no water pants and water clothes, and the water temperature was still very low, so Qiu Chen boiled brown sugar ginger water and asked Junyan Junzhang and Fu'er Man'er to send it to a few people in the water.

Unexpectedly, Brother Quan looked at Qingxiu Sven, but he was also skinny, and he showed that he was naughty when he got into the water. Hearing Lao He say that there are still fish in the pond, he shouted that after releasing the water, he went to the lower reaches of the Qingshui River to catch fish, and said that they have fish baskets and fishing nets at home.

As soon as he said this, Lin Zi also applauded excitedly.

Lao He shook his head and said: "It's still cold, there are few fry at this time, even if there are too small, it is difficult to raise small fish that have just hatched, it is better to live a month, the fry grow up and then fish, at that time the survival rate of the fry is relatively high, and you can also eat, sprinkle some bran and bran when feeding." ”

Liu Zhanxiang is a few years older, after all, he is calmer, and he does not approve of Brother Quan'er going to catch fish: "After all, it has just passed Qingming, and the sun is good, and the ground temperature and water temperature have not yet risen." In particular, the Qingshui River is a mountain stream, the water flowing down from the mountain is colder than the usual river water, this kind of weather goes into the water, frostbite the legs and muscles and bones, the young may not be able to try it, and the old man is likely to become an old cold leg, that can be a big sin! ”

was told by Lao He and Liu Zhanxiang, Brother Quan and Lin Zi were embarrassed to refute it in person, but they were also very disapproving. Agreed in person, but the two boys secretly discussed that the pharmaceutical work was gone in the morning, and there was still a time to empty the time from planting lotus root to lunch, and when the time came, taking advantage of the warm weather, I took the fishing net from the fishing basket to catch it, and if I caught a few fish, I would let the sister-in-law of the Lin family do it at noon...... That kind of fresh fragrance is simply too gluttonous.

Qiu Chen made that big fish on the upper beam table, these two boys have tasted it, and it still has an endless aftertaste, which makes them never forget. When I mentioned this, I felt itchy and unbearable, and I swallowed my saliva greedily.

The work of releasing water is easy to do, just dig out the ditch between the reserved pond entrance gate and the Qingshui River, lift the thick iron plate at the gate, keep the isolation iron grate, and then let the river water flow into the pond. There is Lao He's familiar finger pointing, but the ditch will be dug in half an hour, and then, when the pond is filled with water, and then find someone to dig out the ditch at the outlet gate, a complete and dynamic water circulation system will be formed in the pond, becoming a real living water pond, which can ensure the freshness and clarity of water quality to a large extent.

The four of them went ashore and put on shoes and socks, just as Junzhang Junyan came over with brown sugar ginger water, and drank a big bowl of hot water alone, and the cold air disappeared when he landed, but he felt a layer of fine sweat all over his body, which made people feel comfortable.

Although Brother Quan and Lin Zi had already made a small abacus, they hadn't forgotten to go back and ask, Qiu Chen was busy spinning pills, thinking that there was nothing to do for the time being, so let them go and drink a bowl of hot ginger water to dispel the cold, and arrange work after lunch.

When these two people heard this, they responded in their mouths, but they sneaked out of the Lin family.

Brother Quan went home and took the fishing net, afraid that his family would blame him, and met his mother Ji Shi to ask, and said that he would go to the Lin family to catch fish fry, Ji really did not stop him, let him meet Lin Zi smoothly, and went straight to the downstream of the stream in the south of the village.

When the Qingshui River arrives there, there is a curved river channel with a gentle current, and there are many reeds growing on the river beach, which is a place where fish like to gather.

The two boys are also Tao, when they were young, they didn't come to touch the fish and catch shrimp, so they were very familiar with finding a nest with scarce aquatic plants and a particularly gentle water flow, so they took the bones from the Lin family and threw them into the fish basket, put a stone, and then put the fish basket to the bottom of the water.

Brother Quan's fishing net is two people pulling the fish and lifting the net, a big net is fixed on both sides of the wooden stick, the fixed wooden stick on both sides of the big lifting net is a thick purlin at the mouth of the bowl, it takes at least four strong guys to lift, you can stand on both sides of the river, and you don't need to go into the water to catch the fish in the water. However, Brother Quan's house carried the net much smaller, and it took two people to pull it and wade through the river to catch the fish.

Compared to the still, sun-facing pond, the water temperature of the stream flowing down from the mountain is much lower.

The two of them took off their shoes and socks, pulled up their trouser legs, and shivered as soon as they got out of the water. However, 'there is fire on the head of the fish', and the two boys thought about the delicious fish stew, and the cold water of the river seemed to become less unbearable, and they pulled the fishing nets and began to fish up in the river.

The hard work paid off, the two of them tossed in the river for most of the hour, and the fish basket caught all small fish, and they really caught three or four two or three catties of carp with a fishing net, and more than 20 crucian carp with a bundle of more than one long, and the two boys grinned almost together.

However, after this toss, the pants of the two and a half children were almost wet to the thighs, and the jackets were also wet for most of the time. The two faces were also frozen to blue and purple in a moment, and the snot and tears were dripping down.

The two of them didn't dare to stop, wiped their noses with their sleeves, put down their trousers, put on shoes and socks in a panic, carried a fishing basket and fishing net, and ran back to Lin's house with a smoke.

Qiu Chen spun the pills all morning, his shoulders and waist were very sore, he rubbed his arms and walked out of the east chamber, and when he looked up, he saw Brother Quan coming in with a fishing basket and fishing net, and he couldn't help but be startled.

"What are you doing here? Why did you get such a body of water! Qiu Chen asked, but didn't wait for the two to answer, so he immediately greeted Junshu and Junwen, and asked them to take Brother Quan and Da Zhuang to the house to warm up with a hot quilt, and she hurriedly went back to the house, took out the only little chili pepper left, put in a lot of ginger shreds, boiled two bowls of hot and sour ginger soup, and asked Junyan and Junzhang to send it to the two boys. Then I went to the distillation pot in the backyard to get most of the wooden bucket of hot water, and beckoned a few mothers-in-law to carry the two Tao boys into the West Chamber.

This one was busy, if it was a little bit of a light fight, the cold would be dispersed, but the two boys came out of the pond and drank a bowl of ginger soup and sweated, and when the sweat pores were all opened, they got cold water again, and they soaked in the water almost all over their bodies for half an hour, and ran back from the river with wet clothes, the wind and cold had already entered the body, drank hot and sour soup, and couldn't sweat after taking a bath, Qiu Chen knew that the dishes were bad!

At this time, I didn't care about complaining about the two children, so I hurriedly went to the east chamber and grabbed ephedra, cinnamon branches, boiled licorice, gypsum, almonds, etc., put them in a clay pot and boiled them, poured half a bowl for the two of them, and then covered them with a thick quilt, and after two quarters of an hour without sweating, I poured another half bowl of hot medicinal soup, and so on until I sweated.

As soon as they saw the two children's faces purple and shrunk into a ball, they pounced on them, hugged their respective sons and cried.

Qiu Chen happened to bring a jar of alcohol over, and when he saw this, he couldn't help frowning. said with a cold face: "Two sisters-in-law, don't cry, the children have to cover the quilt and sweat, you toss, a little bit of heat has been shaken by you, where can you sweat?" ”

Lin Ziniang is okay, because Ji's father-in-law is a village official, since she married Liu Jiaao, no one has spoken to her in such an unkind tone, besides, looking at her son's appearance, the strong distress and fear also made her lose her restraint and calmness, she jumped up with a snort, pointed at Qiu Chen's nose and shouted: "Shengzi daughter-in-law, it's not enough for you to harm my brother Quan like this, my son was killed by you, and I don't want to cry as a mother?" How cold is the spring water just now, you asked my brother Quan to go and fish for you, you ...... Why don't you let your brother-in-law and your nephews go, you don't treat other children as human beings at all...... You say, why didn't I see that you were such a girl with a lost conscience and a black heart......"

Brother Quan struggled to pull two handfuls, Ji didn't pay attention to it at all, balabala, a lot of accusations and insults poured over, making Qiu Chen so angry that his chest was so painful that he almost exploded, but although she was angry, she hadn't lost her senses.

Biting the tip of his tongue hard, and suppressing the breath that almost exploded, Qiu Chen turned around and beckoned Lan Ying and Qingshanjia: "Throw her out!" ”

Lan Ying naturally didn't say a word, and stepped forward to pull the Ji family, but the Qingshan family was much more sleek, and they also followed, but they comforted: "Sister-in-law Manyin, you don't dissipate your anger, you don't have to think about anything else, you have to think about Brother Quan, Brother Quan is cold, and he is sweating, if the sweat can't come out, the cold will be troublesome inside......"

Lan Ying and the Qingshan family persuaded one by one, and finally pulled the scolding Ji out of the house.

Qiu Chen had already taken a pottery bowl here, poured half a bowl of alcohol, took a fire fold and lit it, and the light blue flame jumped up, swaying and burning the cold figure of Demon Ye.

Qiu Chen took a soaked hand towel and dipped it in burning alcohol, Brother Quan and Lin Zi wiped their foreheads, the hand towel was still burning with flames on their foreheads, and Lin Ziniang couldn't help but exclaim in tears when they were watching from the side.

This exclamation made Qiu Chen calm down a little, he didn't look back, his subordinates didn't stop, but explained: "Sister-in-law don't be afraid, she won't burn the child." You see, don't I hold it in my hands! ”

Lin Ziniang wiped her tears, nodded and made a choked sound, looking at her son shivering coldly, but she couldn't help a little, she wanted to talk to comfort her son, and told her son that she was next to her, but she was afraid that it would disturb Qiu Chen's treatment and affect her son's treatment, so she could only watch and guard with an anxious and frightened face, and her eyes did not dare to leave her son's face for a moment.

After wiping alcohol for a quarter of an hour, the two children's faces were noticeably better, and their foreheads were no longer as hot as coals, but the sweat still didn't come out.

Qiu Chen greeted him, Junwen and Junshu immediately brought two bowls of hot decoction, Qiu Chen beckoned Lin Ziniang and Qinghe's family, and one of them wrapped a quilt to help up a child, and poured the decoction while it was hot. Fortunately, although the two children were constantly shivering, their consciousness was still quite clear, and they still had some hot medicinal soup when they swallowed very cooperatively.

After pouring the medicinal soup, Qiu Chen brought another quilt to cover the two children, poured alcohol and lit it, and wiped the foreheads of the two children. High fever can easily lead to central nervous system damage, and she wiped the foreheads of her two children with alcohol to prevent their brains from being burned by the high temperature.

In this way, busy and anxious, time slipped by little by little, and finally, two quarters of an hour after the second bowl of medicine was poured, Qiu Chen immediately noticed that there were fine beads of sweat on the noses and foreheads of Da Zhuang and Brother Quan. Because of sweating, even the child no longer shivered, but because of the heat of the body, it spread out, and some of them couldn't cover the quilt, and their hands and feet were unsteady and wanted to stretch out the quilt......

Qiu Chen exhaled a long breath, turned back to Lin Ziniang and smiled: "Okay, it's sweating!" ”

As he spoke, he took away the quilt that had been added to the back, and instructed Lin Ziniang: "Sister-in-law, you look at it, you just sweat, don't dare to let them kick the quilt." If you sweat back, it's a real problem! ”

"Hey, hey, don't worry, I'll be optimistic!" Lin Ziniang choked, nodded again and again, simply took off her shoes and climbed onto the kang, concentrating on the two children not to kick the quilt.

Qiu Chen looked relieved, packed up the alcohol, pottery bowl and hand towel and went out.

As soon as he walked out of the West Chamber, he saw Brother Quan's mother Ji sitting at the door of the house, and scolding into the house, it seems that if it wasn't for Lan Ying and Qingshan's family to stop him, I am afraid that he would have rushed into the house to find Qiu Chen to settle the account.

"Okay, it's sweating, let her go in and watch Brother Quan!" Qiu Chen dropped a sentence lightly and returned to the north house with the alcohol jar. The two children must be very physically injured by this cold and sweating, so it is better to make some rice porridge for them to drink.

“…… Where is she now, but she has earned a few bucks, and her own man can't look down on other people's families when he dies, you say, this kind of day let our spring go into the water to catch fish, isn't this trying to kill my family's spring...... Ah, what are you talking about......" Ji scolded and suddenly heard Qiu Chen's words, he was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, raising his eyes, Qiu Chen had already crossed her and walked towards the north house.

"Daughter-in-law! ......" Ji jumped up violently, and wanted to accuse again. was pulled by the Qingshan family and Lan Ying.

Lan Ying said stiffly: "Sister-in-law Manyin, Brother Quan is sweating, don't you go to take a look?" ”

Saying that, he didn't bother to pay attention to this kind of unclear woman anymore, so he greeted the Qingshan family and went to the backyard to continue working. This morning was originally a very easy job, but it was so troubled that it hasn't been done yet!

A few people breathed a sigh of relief and went about their own work, and only then did the big guy see fishing nets and baskets thrown in the yard.

The Qingshan family looked at the fish basket and said in surprise: "Oh, these two babies are really going to fish!" ”

Qiu Chen had already returned to the north house, and was washing rice, and when he heard this, he put the rice in the pot and came out to see.

Looking at most of the big fish baskets and small fish, some of the fish were still moving slightly, thinking of Ji's accusations and abuse, I couldn't help frowning.

Could it be that Lao He really let the two children go fishing?

Thinking so, Qiu Chen carried the fish basket into the west chamber, wanting to ask the two children about the specific situation, and when he walked to the door of the inner room, he heard Lin Ziniang and Ji talking in a low voice: "...... Let me say something, don't you don't like to listen to it, our Lin Zi and Brother Quan still want the Lin family to work, why do you say you don't care about anything in a hurry? Besides, Fu'er Niang also boiled medicine for the two children to sweat, and she used such a quilt to sweat our children...... If this is really like you said, you will lose your conscience and black your heart, how can you do this, and they will be sent home with a word. It doesn't matter if the patient's family can't be cured. Although the two boys have just started work for a few days, they have not been less benevolent and righteous at home, and every meal is a dough roll with meat and vegetables, not to mention, yesterday I worked to check whether the two children's hands were blistered, and also made gloves for the children, I am afraid that the children will be wronged...... You say, people think about such a small matter, how can they say that they have killed their children...... You, it's better to be at ease, wait for the children to wake up and ask, if it's really wrong to blame others, you still go to make amends...... When my mother sees her relatives and children so anxious, there are also those who want to come to Ah Fu Niang and will not worry about you......"

Qiu Chen raised his eyebrows, turned around and retreated.

She had always thought that Lin Ziniang and Lin Zi's family were honest and simple, but she didn't expect it, looking at honest people, she could understand it in her heart!

Thinking so, and then looking down at the half basket of fish in his hand, Qiu Chen was left with only a wry smile.

Since the two children were caught in the fish and were frozen sick, let's use these fish to make up for them.

Qiu Chen quickly poured the fish into a wooden basin, picked out the live fish, put them in the water to raise, and the remaining sizes were all scaled and washed, and then slice the fish meat from a few large carps, loosen the fish meat with the back of the knife, and pick out the fish bones, and then chop it into fish puree, beat the egg water starch and stir it up, very, a pot of light and peppery spicy fish ball soup is ready. Qiu Chen scooped two bowls of rice porridge and two bowls of fish balls, asked Junzhang and Junyan to send them to the West Chamber, and then stewed the fish head and bones into a pepper fish soup. The small fish is wrapped in batter and fried until golden brown, and then put in the ginger shredded green onion and vinegar to boil and then pour the fried crispy and fragrant small fish, the small fish is crispy and fragrant and has vinegar flavor and green onion and ginger umami, everyone can't stop eating it.

These two dishes, Qiu Chen naturally also sent some to Ji and Lin Ziniang, that is, Lin Zi and Brother Quan, because they were sick, they were not suitable to eat fried food, and after only tasting a small fish, they could only drink fish ball soup and white rice porridge, and watched their mother eat fried fish and pepper fish soup, smelling the fragrance and swallowing saliva.

At lunchtime, Qiu Chen asked Lao He about the fish fishing incident, Lao He was confused and surprised: "These two children are going to fish for fish fry, I said that there are too few fish fry at this time, or they are still young, and they will go back in a month?" I didn't expect them to sneak away...... I said there was fish to eat today. However, the lady of the owner makes this fish really authentic, our hometown likes to eat fish, but it does not taste so good. If only my old lady could learn how to make fish from the lady of the proprietor. ”

When Liu Zhanxiang heard this, he also laughed: "Let's just say that I can't see those two boys in a blink of an eye, and I really went to fish secretly...... Hehe, this spring fish didn't eat bait, it's delicious, later, I'll ask again, see if those two boys are still going tomorrow! ”

Everyone was daxiao when they heard this, and Qiu Chen also laughed.

With Lao He and Liu Zhanxiang talking, Qiu Chen also put his mind at ease. It's not that Lao He instructed the two children to catch fish, but as for the way to make fish, Qiu Chen didn't want to teach it. However, listening to Lao He's words, I'm afraid I'm homesick.

So, he served another bowl of fish soup to Lao He, Qiu Chen smiled and said: "It would be good if Brother He brought his sister-in-law, I heard that your food in the south is exquisite, and I can also learn from my sister-in-law when the time comes!" ”

Lao He smiled, and shook his head again: "There are still old people and children to take care of at home, how can the old woman be separated!" As he spoke, he inevitably showed a touch of loneliness on his face.

Looking at Qiu Chen, he couldn't help but sigh, communication in this era is extremely inconvenient, like Lao He, once he leaves home, it is more than half a year, homesickness is inevitable, but there is no way at all.

This year, let Yang Shuyong learn from Lao He well, and learn how to plant lotus root and raise fish, and next year Lao He will not have to leave his hometown to come here. Of course, why don't you hide your selfishness, and work hard for a year, and when you return home in the autumn, Qiu Chen has already done a good job of paying more silver taels as a reward, and Lao He will be rewarded for leaving home for a year.

After lunch, Junshu still went to collect Luo Buma, and the others also performed their own duties and did their own work. Although Da Zhuang and Brother Quan are sick, the work of crushing the medicine has just come to an end for the time being, but they will not delay the work.

After Qiu Chen finished eating, several daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and plunged into the east chamber to continue making medicines. After a morning of practice, Junwen mainly used his left hand, and with the assistance of his right hand, he was able to spin the pills, and Qiu Chen planned to spin the insurance in the afternoon with his aunt and nephew.

Halfway through the spin, the Yang Shuyong brothers and the second kui came back with a full cart of saplings. In addition to Lin Zi and Brother Quan, the Junwen brothers, Liu Zhanxiang, and even Da Zhuang and Chengzi handed over the steamer to Yuxiang to take care of, and went to the pond to plant trees.

Qiu Chen went out to take a look, and when he saw that everyone was making a lot of noise, he was full of energy, so he didn't care, and continued to go back to the east chamber to spin the insurance.

It was also a coincidence that Qiu Chen had just poured the latter batch of safes into the container, when he heard the voice of Yang Shuyong outside the yard greeting: "The young owner is here!" ”

Qiu Chen raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart, why is this person like he is pinching a little! What a coincidence!

After putting the bamboo flute away, Qiu Chen greeted him out, and saw Liao Wenqing holding a folding fan, wearing a jade-colored brocade robe, and walking in with a signature gentle smile. He was followed by the man called the myrrh boy, and as for the carriage and the coachman, he was left outside.

Qiu Chen greeted Liao Wenqing with a smile, asked Junshu to greet the myrrh, and asked Junyan Junzhang to call Zhi'er and Xiaoxiu to come over to pack the insurance, seal the healing medicine, and label it. The label of this healing medicine is very simple, only the name of the medicine and the method of use are engraved with a stamp, and it is printed on a palm-sized piece of paper. In particular, there are two more logos in the upper right corner of the stamp, one is engraved 'outside', which means trauma medicine, and the other is the same 'Yunlianshan' on the packaging of Luobuma.

A pot of tea was brewed, placed on the low table, and Qiu Chen sat opposite Liao Wenqing generously.

Pouring a cup of tea and pushing it in front of Liao Wenqing, Qiu Chen said with a smile: "Yesterday, the two brothers entered the city, thanks to the enthusiastic help of the young owner. ”

Liao Wenqing smiled disapprovingly: "It's just that I'm afraid that the two Yang brothers are not familiar with each other, so I let the little guy lead the way, as long as Lin Niangzi doesn't think I'm making my own decisions!" ”

The two exchanged a few words, and Qiu Chen directly brought to the point: "This time, thanks to God's blessing, the first batch of healing medicine has been prepared, and it is almost sealed." ”

As soon as he heard the news, Liao Wenxuan was naturally overjoyed, praised Qiu Chen again and again, and said, "Great...... Hehe, with this batch of goods, I can be regarded as having a bottom in my heart. Ming'er brought three more batches of medicinal materials...... If you have enough of them, you will be lucky. ”

Qiu Chen nodded, pharmaceutical production is actually the same as many other products, the more large-scale and large-scale production is, the more labor is saved, and the control and coordination are convenient, so she naturally has no objection.

However, Qiu Chen still advised: "This healing medicine is all sealed in a porcelain altar, and the owner needs to worry less about it on the way, and do some shockproof measures to avoid losses caused by bumps and breaks." Moreover, the Shaodong family has a wide range of connections, so let's see if they can order a batch of shared bamboo tubes from the south. The bamboo tube is waterproof and shockproof than porcelain, and if you can order a bamboo tube container, it will be much more convenient to transport. ”

Liao Wenqing nodded thoughtfully: "A basket has been prepared, and then filled with wheat straw, it should be able to prevent bumping and breaking...... But you said the bamboo tube, it was really not expected before, listen to you, it's really good, I will send someone to the south to procure, but, back and forth, how can it be two months later. ”

Qiu Chen nodded, it's good to use it, it's a little late, there's no way to do it, this era of transportation and communication is like this, and it is reluctant to come.

Thinking so, Qiu Chen went back to the house and took a small bamboo tube containing the insurance, handed it to Liao Wenqing and said: "Shaodong, please take a look at this, this is when I went to the county seat that day, I happened to encounter it in a grocery store, and I bought a total of several baskets." When the time comes, remember to order some when you send someone south, and the approximate quantity is equivalent to the large bamboo tube. ”

Liao Wenqing fiddled with the small bamboo tube in his hand, this finger-thick thing, without any decorative carving, just a small bamboo tube was simply processed, but it was discovered by Lin Niangzi and came in handy. Although such a simple packaging is practical, it is obviously not suitable if the sales target is a high-end family, but the military supply drugs just like this kind of simple and practical things.

This Lin lady is really ...... What a coincidence!

After talking about packaging and transportation, Liao Wenqing and Qiu Chen talked about cleaning wounds, that is, alcohol.

Qiu Chen took half a jar of alcohol and showed it to Liao Wenqing, and said bluntly: "This thing cleans the wound, so you can't see the effect, but when used with healing medicine, it can avoid wound corruption to a large extent, thereby promoting wound healing." Speaking of this, Qiu Chen smiled slightly and said, "It's just that when this thing is used on a wound, there will be a short-term burning sensation." ”

Liao Wenqing nodded and didn't care, many trauma drugs will feel pain, this is not a big deal, as long as the trauma is effective, between life-saving and pain, no one will care about a little pain.

He opened the cork at the mouth of the altar, and a smell of extremely strong wine came to his nose, and he raised his eyebrows slightly, "This thing is made by soaking in wine?" ”

Qiu Chen smiled and said, "Yes, because I call this thing alcohol!" ”

"Alcohol? …… The essence of wine! Good! Liao Wenqing also knew that he was reckless in asking, so he didn't continue to ask. But I poured a little liquid into the palm of my hand, and I saw that the completely transparent and colorless liquid could not smell anything except for the extremely strong smell of liquor!

Speaking of which, alcohol has already been experienced, and Liao Wenqing is interested in what cooperation conditions Lin Niangzi will offer this time, so he opened his mouth to propose that because the raw materials of alcohol are purchased by the Lin family themselves, the follow-up profit distribution will only cost 20% of the Rejuvenation Hall, which will be mainly used to pay for transportation costs.

Qiu Chen shook his head and smiled: "This thing, although I know that the effect is conclusive, but it has not been verified after all. This time, only a few jars were made in small quantities as samples for efficacy verification. I want to come this time Shaodong rushed to transport the healing medicine, and I can't wait for the efficacy to be verified, it is better to send a person here this time, who is responsible for introducing the use of methods, I think that there should be no shortage of traumatized patients in the place where the Shaodong family sends the healing medicine, and it will be used to verify the efficacy on the spot, which is also convenient and direct. If there are any problems, we can also discuss them face-to-face and further improve our formula. I don't know what the young owner thinks? ”

Liao Wenqing frowned slightly, stared at Qiu Chen for a while, and secretly pondered in his heart, this Lin lady is smart, and she has seen that person a few times, she should have guessed the identity of that person a long time ago, but she has not been enthusiastic, weishenme, this time Dudu proposed to send someone to follow the delivery?

After a moment of deep silence, Liao Wenqing said: "Don't hide it from Mrs. Lin, the environment for sending the goods to the local area this time is complicated, and there may even be a danger of swordsmen...... If Lin Niangzi sends someone to follow, in case something goes wrong......"

Qiu Chen lowered his eyes, and when he raised his eyes again, he was already calm, and said with a smile: "This, I have already thought of it." ”

After a pause, Qiu Chen said again: "I really don't hide it from the young owner, I don't want to cooperate with the young owner with this thing." ”

After these words came out, Liao Wenqing completely forgot to maintain Wen Wen's expression, and stared at Qiu Chen in surprise for a moment, before he retracted his expression and asked, "Why did Lin Niangzi say this?" Could it be that there is something offended about Xia or the Rejuvenation Hall? ”

Qiu Chen smiled and shook his head, and said, "What was the situation of the Lin family before, you know the young owner. The Lin family can get to this day, thanks to the help of the young owner, and the Lin family and I can only be grateful. ”

Speaking of this, seeing that Liao Wenqing was still staring at her, he looked like he couldn't explain or stop, and couldn't help sighing and said: "Shaodongjia also said just now, this thing is mainly wine, and it is extremely strong wine, I can tell Shaodongjia that wine is used here, and drinking spirits with ten catties can only be raised for less than three catties, which is converted into too high costs." I also ask the young owner, don't talk about me, can you guarantee that there is enough wine for extraction? Even if we make our own wine, where does that huge amount of food come from? Hehe, it's not that I don't want to earn this silver, but I can't earn it at all, and you can't earn it either. ”

"Dare to love, this is a hot potato!" Liao Wenqing sighed with a wry smile.

Qiu Chen smiled faintly: "For you and me, it's a hot potato, but for some people, it's just a sentence!" ”

Liao Wenqing was slightly stunned, and then showed a clear smile, but this smile was mixed with a trace of frustration that he didn't even notice.

Yes, the Lin family is not financially enough, although his Liao family is quite wealthy, it is just a businessman, and some things can not be done with money. Lin Niangzi's words are really sharp, and when she reaches a certain position, isn't it just a matter of words!

From this matter, Liao Wenqing added a sense of admiration to the woman in front of him, to be able to see so clearly, to be so decisive in the face of huge profits, and to let go when he said to let go, which not only requires vision, but also courage. Regardless of eyesight or courage, he claims to be inferior to many people!

The two looked at each other and smiled, Liao Wenqing also thought about it at this time, and arched his hand at Qiu Chen with a smile: "Lin Niangzi treats each other with sincerity, it is a villain of Liao." ”

Qiu Chen took a sip of tea, shook his head with a smile and said, "I am just a peasant woman, with food and clothing, and it is enough for the family to be safe and happy." ”

Liao Wenqing also laughed, but sighed in his heart, Lin Niangzi's requirements sound really not high, it is not difficult to have food to eat, clothes and clothing, and it is not difficult for the old and young to be safe.

After that, Liao Wenqing and Qiu Chen agreed that after they went back, the Huichun Hall would still have to raise goods, which would take about twenty days to a month, and they would wait for the Lin family to send out two or three more batches of healing medicine and ship them together.

When the Huichun Hall is ready, he will send a letter to the Lin family two days in advance, and at that time, Qiu Chen will prepare the packing for the entourage, and go to Qingshui Town to meet and go on the road on the day of departure.

Huichun Hall has to ship in large quantities, everything is complicated, Liao Wenqing still has a lot of affairs to do when he goes back, so he doesn't stay any longer, and he is ready to say goodbye when he talks about it.

Because Liao Wenqing came in a manned carriage with a carport, which was not suitable for transporting goods, Qiu Chen asked Yang Shuyong to set up his own carriage and help pack healing medicine, all of which were packed in baskets, and wheat straw was cushioned to prevent earthquakes and sent to Qingshui Town. And made an appointment with Liao Wenqing, and early tomorrow morning, he will send a car to transport the next batch of one-month APIs.

It took almost two quarters of an hour to load the truck. After the car was loaded, Liao Wenqing officially got up to say goodbye, and Qiu Chen also got up to send him out.

The sun has set in the west, and smoke has risen on the roofs of some people's houses, Liao Wenqing said with a smile: "I wanted to taste Lin Niangzi's food again several times, but I didn't expect it to be difficult to get my wish!" ”

Qiu Chen only said that he was joking casually, and he didn't take it to heart, and said with a smile: "The Lin family has to prepare meals for twenty people every day, and there is no shortage of a pair of dishes and chopsticks from the owner. It's just that the young proprietors are busy and can't spare time! ”

The two laughed and walked out, the two carriages were already waiting outside the gate, and the coachman and servant of the Huichun Hall were standing next to the carriage, waiting for Liao Wenqing.

Yang Shuyong and Yang Shumeng also sent Liao Wenqing out, and Qiu Chen stopped at the door. In the past, there was no man at home, and it was reasonable for her to send guests, but now the eldest brother and the second brother are both brothers, and she doesn't have to do it when she goes out to send guests.

Just when everyone gathered at the gate of the Lin family, a woman wearing a red shirt and a black embroidered horse-faced skirt with thick fat powder walked over from the west side, and raised her hand from time to time to support the shiny golden hairpin on her sideburns as she walked!

Er Kui set up the carriage and waited at the door, before the others could react, Er Kui recognized the person first, and greeted with a smile: "Aunt Chang, who are you going to to pull the red line again?" ”

Qiu Chen suddenly, just now she saw that this woman was wearing such a dress, and she felt extremely disobedient when she was dressed up in such a nondescript manner, and it became clear when she heard Erkui's words at this time, it turned out that this person was not an ordinary person, but a village that specialized in going to the east and west, saying that the matchmaker pulled the fiber matchmaker!

She was secretly a little excited, but she didn't expect to come to this shijie There was also some unexpected gain, and she could actually meet the legendary matchmaker - however, this one is obviously a little better than the aesthetic taste of the masked matchmaker in the TV series, neither a big red lip, nor the iconic big black mole, nor a big red flower and a dry tobacco stick......

Moreover, as she spoke, Aunt Chang also got closer, with a slight smile on her face, Qiu Chen took a closer look, this appearance is not bad, if she is twenty years younger, she must also be a delicate and lovely little daughter-in-law.

"Erkui, are you going out?" Aunt Chang opened her mouth to respond to Erkui's question.

Erkui smiled and said, "If you go to town, you can't go out." ”

"Look, the donkey-like Erkuilin family has been working for a few days, and he can speak!" Aunt Chang slapped the Lin family with a smile and slapped it quietly, and then said with a smile, "If you want to go out, leave quickly, if you delay coming back, you will have to go at night." I'll come to Mrs. Lin to say a few words. ”

This person is obviously very good at finding words without words, and when he was talking to Erkui, he naturally turned his head and smiled at Qiu Chen inside the door: "Lin Niangzi, I haven't seen you for a few days, I see that your complexion has improved a lot!" ”

Say goodbye, Qiu Chen is easy to answer, when it comes to the past, she really doesn't know, so she has to smile and say: "Aunt Duolao is worried." Auntie has something to say! ”

Although he has never lived in the countryside, Qiu Chen also knows that people like matchmakers go from east to west and rely on one mouth to eat. can speak of lotus flowers, and can also refer to deer as horses, slander and rumors, and generally it is better to provoke less. Moreover, Qiu Chen also secretly wondered in his heart, the current situation of the Lin family, the only possible pro is Lin Xu, is it because the Lin family has a prosperous momentum, and the matchmaker came to Lin Xu to say that he was a daughter-in-law?

Although in Qiu Chen's eyes, twelve-year-old Lin Xu is just a child, but here, it is not uncommon for a teenager or even a ** year old to say that he is married. Guan Qiu Chen didn't want Lin Xu to talk about family affairs at this time, but when the matchmaker came to the door, he still had to treat him politely. Another reason is a little unspeakable, that is, Qiu Chen said to the matchmaker that he was really a little curious, and he couldn't help but want to take the opportunity to see and understand!

While letting the Chang aunt enter the door, Qiu Chen greeted Liao Wenqing with a smile: "The young owner is leaving, I won't send it." ”

That Aunt Chang glanced at Liao Wenqing with slanted eyes, pursed her lips and smiled, twisted her waist and entered the door behind Qiu Chen.

Liao Wenqing frowned slightly, and there was a faint bad feeling in his heart, how could he think that the matchmaker just looked at him, implying provocation and ridicule?

However, at this time, he had already walked to the carriage, and the Yang brothers next to him were still waiting to see him get into the car, and he had no choice but to go back. I had to get into the carriage with doubts, and with a flick of the horsewhip, the two carriages wanted to follow, and left the Lin family with a loud voice.

Besides, Qiu Chen led Aunt Chang into the door, and said in his heart that he had no experience in receiving matchmakers, these people had a strong tongue, and it would not be good if they were tricked, so he sent Junwen Junyan and Junzhang to the backyard, and asked them to replace Lan Ying and the three of them, and said that they were going to make dinner and asked them to come over to help.

After arranging this matter, as soon as Qiu Chen turned around, he saw that Mrs. Chang was looking around in the courtyard, nodding her head slightly while looking, she couldn't help but be a little funny, this matchmaker is quite dedicated, and she hasn't said anything yet, so she will inquire about the family first.

Guiding Mrs. Chang to sit at the low table, Qiu Chen re-brewed a pot of tea, poured a cup and handed it to Mrs. Chang. She deliberately didn't get in front of her usual mother-in-law, just waiting for Lan Ying to come over.

Sure enough, the tea was handed over, Lan Ying and Qinghe's family also came over, and Brother Junwen also turned back with him.

As soon as Lan Ying saw Qiu Chen, she said, "We have just finished our work, and the rest is for the Qingshan family to watch." Let's let a few boys go and plant a tree outside the door. The seedlings are bought from afar, and they are planted as soon as possible! ”

Qiu Chen smiled and nodded, Brother Junwen responded, and ran out happily.

Lan Ying and Qinghe's family were not surprised when they saw Mrs. Chang, and they all came over to say hello with a smile.

Mrs. Chang obviously didn't expect this to be the case, but after a lot of wind and waves, her ability to deal with emergencies is not ordinarily strong, so she laughed for a while, and naturally began to chat with Lan Ying and Qinghe's family.

Qiu Chen was completely idle at this moment, drank tea next to him for a while, and said to go to the back to take a look, and then got up and went to the backyard.

There is no more work to crush medicinal herbs in the backyard today, and only the Qingshan family and Yuxiang are left to clean up at this time.

Qiu Chen turned around, and when he saw that the sanitation had been cleaned, he beckoned a few people from the Qingshan family to go to the front yard: "Let's ship the goods today, and we will pack a bun in the evening, and you all stay for dinner, is there anything at home?" Seeing that several people were smiling and shaking their heads, Qiu Chen went to the gate to greet the bolts, Shanzi and a few leather boys, and ordered: "You boys, go to a few houses and say something, and say that you won't go to dinner!" ”

As soon as the bolt and Shanzi heard that it was delicious, they immediately cheered, and rushed away with a hula in succession, Qiu Chen returned to the courtyard, Qingshanjia and Yuxiang were laughing, and they were already busy with Lan Ying and Qinghe's family.

The big guys do it together, there are chopped cabbage, there are chopped meat filling, there are rubbing baskets, there are noodles, there are many people, and a large group of people are moving together, the scene is hot, and it is also very work. Lin Ziniang and Ji's West Chambers took care of their son for an afternoon, and when they heard that the yard was so lively, they were embarrassed to hide anymore, Lin Ziniang walked out with a smile first, and Ji's had to follow out with him, seeing that Qiu Chen was no longer spicy at noon, he hurriedly smiled and apologized. Qiu Chen just smiled and didn't care about her.

Qiu Chen couldn't intervene, and it was not good to sit back and watch, so he took things out like the same, and after all the work here started, Qiu Chen went to the house and picked up a sugar jar and a bag of dates. I am going to steam a few sugar triangles and a few jujube cakes for the children, which can be regarded as a change of taste for the children.

Qiu Chen took a plate and put more than a dozen dates in front of Mrs. Chang, and said apologetically: "Aunt Chang, look, it's just in time to cook, the big guy is waiting for dinner after a day's work, and he can't sit and talk with you." This is the Ejiao dates that I bought back from the county seat a few days ago, you can taste them. ”

As he spoke, he took the sugar jar and the bag of dates and went to the noodles, put down the sugar and dates, and Qiu Chen saw that the meat and vegetables were chopped up, so he began to adjust the filling. She is willing to put meat and oil in the filling, and the dumplings and buns are naturally delicious.

Qingshan's daughter-in-law quipped: "Begonia stuffing is flavorful, let's learn it today!" ”

Qiu Chen glanced at her, pouted and said, "Do you want to eat pure meatballs, your mouth is smeared with honey as if pouting me, so I won't be fooled by you!" ”

caused everyone to be in an uproar. Mrs. Chang also came over and said with a smile: "Just looking at Fu'er Niang putting so much meat, this bun also has to be fragrant and oily, I can't bear to leave!" ”

When these words came out, no one could open their mouths to pick her up, Qiu Chen simply sent the Buddha to the west, and said with a smile: "Aunt Chang doesn't dislike it, just stay and taste it." ”

Mrs. Chang hurriedly said: "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it!" As he spoke, he washed his hands and began to help make buns.

Laughing, Qingshanjia took Qiu Chen's eyes, and asked with a smile: "Aunt Chang, what good thing do you have to come to the door today?" We have several good children here waiting to say daughter-in-law, you say, which one to say, and let us rejoice! ”

As he spoke, he also pushed Lin Ziniang and Brother Quan's mother Ji outward, signaling the two of them with marriageable sons to move forward.

Mrs. Chang had a slight smile on her face, and then smiled: "Lin Zi and Brother Quan are both good children, and I will definitely give me a beautiful and virtuous daughter-in-law in the future." ”

This is very interesting, and it obviously shows that it is not for Lin Zi and Brother Quan. The Qingshan family and Lan Ying had already drawn their souls in their hearts, so they started to talk about it.

On weekdays, Mrs. Chang not only visits the east and west of the house, but also often goes to the surrounding villages to talk about matchmaking, and when she talks about gossip, there is really no one she doesn't know.

As she spoke, Mrs. Chang said that she went to the house of the landlord Liu in the west of the village, but Mrs. Chang was not called the landlord Liu, and the people called it very grandiose, called Liu Yuanwai.

“…… Speaking of which, I really heard a rare thing before, Liu Yuanwai's third son is not studying in the county, but it's terrible, his classmates are all the eldest master and young master in the county, a few days ago, the government and the old man came to our county, had a meal with the third son, and actually made friends. No, yesterday the third son came back with a letter and said that in the past two days, the old man will come to our Liu family. Obediently, that's the old man who knows the same thing, and his father is a dignified four-grade master! The third prince can make friends with such a son, and he will have to make a big deal in the future, look at it, this autumn test, the third prince will be able to win the show, and next year he will be able to lift people, maybe in the next year, he will be able to go to the Golden Palace, and meet the emperor Long live the emperor! ”

Either the women in the village or the ignorant children heard that they could have the opportunity to meet the emperor above the nine heavens, and all of them showed a look of envy and reverence, and even the warm atmosphere just now was much quieter for a while. A pair of eyes looked at Mrs. Chang shining, as if she had the opportunity to meet the emperor was her.

After a while, Lan Yingcai said cautiously: "If you can really see Long Live Lord, this life will not be in vain!" ”

Qiu Chen lowered his head and kneaded the dough, disappreciating in his heart. What's wrong with the country's leaders, they don't have two eyes and one nose like ordinary people, in the past, we still see it every day, although it is said to be on TV!

Being in the spotlight obviously made Mrs. Chang very satisfied, and said proudly: "That's it!" That's long live, golden rule! ”

So, people changed the topic and talked about the year they watched the play, and how the emperor was in the play......

After that, it gradually turned to the harem concubines, and Mrs. Chang threw out a very important message: "You don't know yet, it's likely to be selected this autumn!" ”

As soon as this topic was thrown out, everyone's reverence for the emperor just now dispersed, and there were daughters, such as Qinghe's family, such as Lin Ziniang, all showed panicked looks, and asked again and again if it was a true letter, if it was a true letter, they had to quickly think about finding a marriage for their daughter, otherwise if they were chosen, they didn't know if they could zaijian in this life!

Seeing everyone's panicked faces, Qiu Chen couldn't help but be surprised: "Then the emperor can't choose a stunning beauty?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Qiu Chen was immediately stared at by everyone.

Lan Ying retorted to Qiu Chen in a rare way: "Most of the selections are sent in to be palace maids, just look good, where are there so many stunning beauties!" ”

As soon as he heard that Cai Xuan was a palace maid, Qiu Chen also knew that although Lin Zi's sister and the eldest daughter of the Qinghe family were not too beautiful, they could be regarded as delicate and upright, and they were really not safe. However, she still remembers that the selection is not nationwide, but in a certain area, such as a prefecture and a state, looking at a few dangniang with a worried face, she couldn't help but comfort them: "A few sisters-in-law don't have to worry, I heard that the selection is also designated as a government and a place, there are so many state capitals in the country, where will we fall here!" The women in the south are beautiful and smart, and they usually go there to pick more! ”

As soon as these words came out, even Mrs. Chang nodded yes, and Qinghejia and Lin Ziniang's faces were better, but they still thought about it in their hearts, and hurriedly discussed and discussed their daughter's marriage when they went home.

As he spoke, the work under his hands did not fall, very, he wrapped a few large curtain buns, all round and white and fat, with a circle of fine pleats, looking at it is gratifying.

This side of the bun needs to wake up, on the other side of the cauldron add water to make a fire, three large cage drawers are used together, one by one white raw buns are put into the cage drawer, the edge gap is covered with a soaked cage cloth, the fire is steamed, the water is boiling, the white steam gathers from the cage drawer, so that the whole hall is filled with a layer of white water vapor, the children are happy, one by one stretch out their little hands to reach the ethereal cloud-like steam, laughing and laughing together, adding a little joy to the inside and outside of the small courtyard.

After the steam was raised, the fire burned for two quarters of an hour, and then the fire stopped, but it could not be lifted, and the residual heat had to be steamed for a while.

In this effort, Qiu Chen took a few women to peel garlic and pound garlic, cut shredded cabbage and shredded radish, picked a few cold dishes, and boiled a large pot of millet porridge in another pot.

Seeing that the steam on the pot was gradually falling, Qiu Chen beckoned a few children to get out of the way, and several women each brought a large curtain over. The buns are finally out of the cage!

"Flip the pot!"

As Qiu Chen shouted, and the children shouted and echoed the cheers, the cage drawer that had been removed was lifted, and a thick steam rose, which was richer than just now, and also rushed into people's noses with the rising steam, causing a group of children to sniff hard.

The steam dissipated, and the layers of cage drawers were lifted down and placed on the low table in the courtyard, and the children also followed the hula and gathered around, staring at the white and chubby buns in the pot, and they all grabbed their goals.

"I want this big!"

"I want this sugar triangle!"

"I want this jujube ......" Aman still didn't speak as neatly as his brothers, and the jujube cake couldn't come, so he simply omitted it and became a jujube, but this didn't hinder it, everyone understood what she meant.

Qiu Chen patted the little heads of a few children with a smile, "Okay, okay, lean back, you have to wait for a while if you want to eat, it's hot at this time, but you can't eat it in your mouth!" ”

Several large cage buns were picked out one by one and neatly placed on the large cover curtain, full white with a slight trace of transparency, exuding a rich meaty fragrance and mouth-watering.

The buns were out of the cage, and the delivery carriage that happened to go to Qingshui Town also returned, Qiu Chen hurriedly took hot water for the two brothers and Erkui to wash.

After a little drying, the buns were picked up again in a large basket, covered with a cage cloth to keep warm, cold dishes and gruel were served to the table one by one, and men, women and children also gathered at the table, picking up a white fat bag with a smile on their faces, taking a bite, and the sound of admiration sounded.

Mrs. Chang boasts that she is well-informed and has been to many large households, but this is the first time she has seen this situation.

Taking a bite of the bun, Mrs. Chang couldn't help but exclaim: "Ouch, this stuffing has become meatballs!" Fragrant! ”

Meat and vegetable buns, put too much meat, more than a third, after steaming, it will condense into a ball, like meatballs, and the people in the village will use 'into balls' as a good word to praise the filling. It is said that it is a ball, which means that it is willing to use meat, and the filling is of high quality.

Qiu Chen smiled and brought her another one: "Auntie tastes good, just eat a few more!" ”

Because he borrowed the reason for the celebration of the shipment, Qiu Chen also scalded a pot of steamed wine, squeaked, took a sip of wine, and ate a mouthful of steamed buns, which stretched out the folds on the faces of several old men. The slight squinting, the slight raising of the eyebrows, the soothing and leisurely movements...... All of them express one meaning: beauty!

After the meal, everyone packed up the cups, bowls and chopsticks, and Qiu Chen picked up five of the remaining big buns and brought them with each family. I also brought a bag to Mrs. Chang, and praised Mrs. Chang again and again, and actually went out with a few women, which surprised Qiu Chen.

Lin Zi and Brother Quan also put on clothes, hats and went back with their mothers. Qiu Chen boiled vinegar in the kang stove in the north house of the west chamber for a while, fumigated it, and opened the window to breathe in it, and then returned to the north house.

Lin Xu has finished teaching calligraphy and is instructing the children to write.

Qiu Chen came in and sent the children to the West Chamber to write and read, and when they turned around, the Yang brothers and Lin Xu honestly sat where they were.

Qiu Chen smiled, made a pot of tea, put it on the kang table, and raised his legs on the kang. Lin Xu poured tea for the two brothers and sister-in-law and handed them over one by one. Qiu Chen took it, held his hands and smiled: "I'll discuss something with you today, but ...... Second brother, let me show you a few things first. ”

As he spoke, Qiu Chen took out a small cyan cloth bag from the kang cabinet he purchased, took out a few pages from the cloth bag, and handed it to Lin Xu.

"Oh, the title deed was exchanged?" Lin Xu happily took it and said.

Before, the Lin family bought land because the village was opening the land deed, and there was no official seal, commonly known as the 'white deed'. After taking the white deed to the county government and paying the tax, you can exchange it for the official deed with the county government's big seal, because there is a red and red seal, so it is commonly known as the 'red deed'. With the red deed, it means that the land property rights have been recognized by the state.

Qiu Chen felt in his heart that this was a bit like a modern real estate certificate with small property rights and full property rights, although small property rights save money, but after all, it is not legal, and it is still safe to do all the property.

On the first page, it is indeed a title deed, and a red seal is upright and eye-catching. After a glance, Lin Xu felt that this piece of paper title deed was enough, so what are the next ones?

With the movement of his hand, the title deed on the first page was turned to the back by Lin Xu, and then, Lin Xu's eyes fell on the second piece of paper - 'Certificate of Cancellation of Registration'!

Closure of account - certificate of Lin Sheng's closure of account. It's equivalent to a life and death paperwork!

Lin Xu was slightly stunned, his face turned pale, and he subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Qiu Chen.

Lin Xu's eyes were sad, but he did not hide the sharpness in them, and it seemed to point directly at people's hearts. Qiu Chen sighed secretly in his heart, anyone whose brother was cancelled would feel uncomfortable, not to mention, whether Lin Sheng was really dead or not had not received a clear affirmation, presumably Lin Xu would find it difficult to accept in his heart.

However, Qiu Chen did not dodge, his eyes calmly met Lin Xu, nodded, smoothed his eyes, and added water to Lin Xu's teacup, then raised his eyes, looked at Lin Xu and said, "Second brother, this is the ...... I asked the eldest brother and second brother to go to the county office."

"My eldest brother may still be alive......" Lin Xu interrupted Qiu Chen's words in a hoarse voice, squeezing a question out of his throat.

Qiu Chen nodded and said, "Second brother, I also thought that your eldest brother was still alive before, and after listening to Liu Sanhe's words that day, I was still happy all night, so I asked the eldest brother and second brother to go to the county government to inquire about the situation, as long as there are still people who have been requisitioned with your brother, and they have not returned......."

Speaking of this, Qiu Chen paused, took a deep breath, and then continued: "As long as there is still a trip together and you don't come back, my sister-in-law thinks about it, and now we have some money at home, and we also have our own carriage, so my sister-in-law will go to the border to find your eldest brother...... However, the eldest brother and the second brother went to the county government to ask...... Go together, or you will have life and death papers, or you will all come back, and none of them will be like your brother...... The eldest brother and the second brother asked why they didn't send us life and death documents, and they closed the account without saying a word, and opened such a cancellation paper, saying that this is a life and death document......"

As Qiu Chen spoke, he pondered the words, saying intermittently, and with a solemn face, it seemed to others that he was barely suppressing the grief in his heart. In fact, Qiu Chen didn't have a good impression of Lin Sheng.

said that Lin Sheng was brave and powerful, and he shot a good arrow...... said that it was to let Lin Xu go to school before he went to recruit his husband...... Since he is a good archer, why do he have to abandon his family and business to become a husband to let his younger brother go to school? Hunt more prey, and if you exchange money, won't you be able to provide for your younger brother to go to school? Liu Jiaao can't do it, it's better to go elsewhere, why do you have to drill the horns? Leaving his young son and pregnant wife at home, doesn't he know what is going on in this family? He thought about providing for his younger brother to go to school, but where did the cost of books and stationery come from after school? Where does the family's food and clothing come from? What should I do if my wife gives birth? A woman's childbirth is to pass through the ghost gate, in case she can't get through, what if Lin Xu leads Ah Fu?

He wanted to be a good brother, but his thoughts were simple and inconsiderate!

He has never taken pity on his wife and children, so he can't talk about taking on the responsibility of being a husband and a father!

With such a man, what is there for her to think about more?

Seeing Qiu Chen pause and hang his head, Lin Xu couldn't help but think that since his sister-in-law married into the Lin family, she was hardworking, gentle and virtuous, and did needlework day and night to subsidize the family. Especially after the eldest brother left, in order to buy him pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other things, and for the sake of the family's big snacks, he stayed up late every night. The rice and clothes were all on him, and then Afu Aman, but he had never eaten a full meal or worn a piece of clothing......

Life was difficult, and she couldn't continue with needlework alone, so her sister-in-law sold her dowry little by little. After getting the news of the eldest brother's death, he sold a few acres of fertile land at home and built a mound for the eldest brother...... However, due to overwork and excessive grief, after the grave was completed, he became ill and lay down for half a month.

After a serious illness, the sister-in-law lost her original softness, but she became cheerful and refreshing, and she was forced to figure out a livelihood by picking and stirring medicine. As the sister-in-law is tired and busy, the family is getting better day by day, the sister-in-law has more smiles on her face, is warm and generous to people, and seems to have changed people all of a sudden.

It's just that the care and care for him and Afu Aman have not changed. Now, there is no longer a shortage of food and clothing, but with good food and good clothes, the first thing to think about is still him, followed by Afu Aman, and then she herself......

Lin Xu felt ashamed in his heart.

The sister-in-law worked hard for him and the entire Lin family without regrets, and he had just obtained the certificate of the eldest brother's account cancellation, but he was angry at the first time, and even suspected that the sister-in-law was trying to ...... He really shouldn't have it!

Listening to Qiu Chen's intermittent narration, he paused for a moment, Lin Xu followed and was silent for a moment, and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't need to say it, I'm ...... It's my brother who is confused! …… Sister-in-law, don't feel bad, although the eldest brother can't do it, there is still Afu Aman, and my brother......"

Qiu Chen hung his head and listened silently, and when he arrived, he raised his head, looked at Lin Xu with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, nodded and said, "Well, the second brother studies hard, this is what your eldest brother has been thinking about......"

Lin Xu hurriedly nodded and came down: "Sister-in-law, relax, my younger brother will definitely study hard...... Fu'er is also a smart person, and she will be successful in her studies in the future! Sister-in-law, our family will definitely get better in the future! ”

Qiu Chen smiled and nodded, and motioned for Yang Shu to pull Lin Xu to sit down.

Qiu Chen added tea to everyone, and she also took a sip of water herself, moistened her tongue, and then continued: "Today, I have something to discuss with my second brother." The two elder brothers also gave their ideas after listening. ”

Seeing Qiu Chen speaking so solemnly, Yang Shuyong, Yang Shumeng, and Lin Xu both sat upright and listened quietly.

"Second brother, eldest brother and second brother, you all know that I learned a method of steaming wine from books, and I thought about it. But now I want to dedicate this craft! ”

“weishenme？”

"Huh?"

"Sister-in-law?"

Before Qiu Chen's words fell, he heard three different voices, but the expression was the same questioning and surprise!

This situation was not surprising to Qiu Chen at all. Even when she made this decision herself, she was a little reluctant. Making wine is a good business, not to mention that it completely seizes the commanding heights of jishu steamed wine jishu!

It can be said that with this steamed wine jishu, it is not difficult to get rich and rival the country!

However, the reason why Qiu Chen decided to give up the steamed wine jishu is precisely because of this reason - the steamed wine jishu is too eye-catching, and now she has just steamed the wine, and the Lin family's name is unknown, so there is no news, otherwise, just this steamed wine jishu is enough to cause a big disaster for the Lin family, and even, it is very likely to lead to the destruction of the family!

Qiu Chen didn't answer immediately, she looked at the uncle and the two brothers in front of her very calmly, waiting for them to slowly calm down.

Guys are so powerful...... Su Su brushed once, lowered the code word, brushed for a while, and continued to bow the code word......

Who can say whether Su Su should be ecstatic, or ecstatic, or ecstatic...... I'm so tired, a certain Su fell asleep!

Dream talk - to praise...... l3l4
