Chapter Title: Chapter 66 This Man Is Stupid!

Chapter 66: This Uncle Is Stupid!

Life in the village is hard, and there is no financial resources to build a solid stone tomb and brick tomb, so you can only build a loess bag. In order to prevent this grave pile from gradually being leveled by the wind and rain and cultivated land, a major task when relatives come to the grave to sweep is to add soil to maintain, the village people will always say, who who who has been the grave for many years and has not seen the small, slippery light and no weeds, so praise this person's relatives and descendants have filial piety! This tomb seems to be a concrete embodiment of the position and weight of the deceased in the hearts of the living!

Qiu Chen didn't make a sound, nodded, Junwen brought over the two sacrificial bunkers, put them next to the altar, and then took out the bowls of offerings and placed them on the narrow blue brick altar, and then took out the incense burner and candlesticks and other things, and placed them in turn according to the order of the two cents of the candle flame and the incense burner.

Junshu took Junyan Junzhang to follow Lin Xu to pick up the deciduous grass clippings on the grave, and then went to the field next to him to pick up the loess and cultivate the grave bag.

Junwen lit the incense candle, took the paper money and handed it to Qiu Chen, Qiu Chen knelt down in front of the grave with the two children, took the paper money and borrowed the fire on the candle, and began to sacrifice and burn in front of the altar.

Lin Xu picked up the soil and added it to the grave, patted it with his hand, and whispered: "Big brother, sister-in-law has brought my younger brother and Afu Aman to see you." These days, the sister-in-law has worked hard to manage the Lin family, learned to fry medicine, opened a medicine workshop, and the family has a much better life. A few days ago, our family built a courtyard wall and built a west wing, all of which were built of stone, with green bricks and green tiles. Nearly nineteen acres of land were also bought. I also bought a carriage and a horse, and the horse is still a rare desert horse rouge snow, especially a divine horse, if you must be happy...... At present, a pond has been dug in the depression in front of the courtyard to prepare for planting lotus vegetables, and my sister-in-law ...... Big brother, don't worry, the sister-in-law is very good, Afu Aman is very good, and the younger brother is also very good, you are alone over there, don't worry about the ...... at home"

Chattering and chattering, Lin Sheng's tears couldn't stop pouring up, his face flowed, he didn't know how to wipe it, he still reinforced, while reinforcing the grave, he chattered about the situation at home to his eldest brother, as if the eldest brother was in front of him, although he didn't make a sound, but listened silently.

I don't know if it was Lin Xu's sobbing voice, or if this solemn scene hooked Qiu Chen's nerves, she unconsciously shed two lines of tears, cold tears slid across her cheeks and seeped into the corners of her mouth, and the salty taste reminded her that she cried.

Ah Fu and Aman seemed to be a little nervous on the side, Ah Fu pulled the corner of Qiu Chen's clothes, and Ah Man hugged Qiu Chen's legs tightly, and they all hugged his mother tightly.

After Lin Xu finished adding the grave, he looked back and saw his sister-in-law with tears on her face, kneeling in front of the grave, the two children also looked sad, and their hearts were sad. Silently walked to the altar, Lin Xu also knelt beside Qiu Chen and offered incense.

A gust of wind blew, burning paper money, fire and paper ashes fluttered and rolled up, straight to the person.

Lin Xu and Junwen stepped forward to support Qiu Chen, while Junshu and Junyan Junzhang hugged Afu Aman and took a few steps back together.

"Sister-in-law, you take Fu'er Man'er here, the wind is blowing, don't let the fire hit you!"

Qiu Chen nodded silently, and with a sad expression, he pulled the two children to kneel down again, while Lin Xu returned to the altar, took the paper money sacrifice and continued to burn and worship. Junwen went to find a long branch and came over, and tossed and burned paper money sacrifices from a distance, and was blown by the wind to hula the flames, which scorched people's hands and faces, and it was better to be separated from it, and it was also possible to avoid being put out by the fire and having an accident.

In front, Junwen helped Lin Xu burn paper money and clothes, and Qiu Chen took the two children to kneel behind silently.

Slightly hooked her head, Qiu Chen's heart was full of sadness, but it was not Lin Sheng, but that Shijie had passed away grandmother, and those close friends and classmates, and even the moment when there were differences of opinion against a few peers, she missed it very much.

As if he had just finished speaking, at this moment, Lin Xu stopped talking, only silently poured three glasses of wine in tears and sprinkled them in front of the grave, burned the paper money and paper clothes he brought, and took out some of them from those sacrifices with chopsticks one by one, put them in the fire and incinerated them, kowtowed again, and almost burned the incense and candles in front of the grave. Lin Xu began to clean up the embers in front of the grave, and blew off the floating ash and put the bowls of sacrifices back into the mound. When I turned around and saw my sister-in-law kneeling there with her two children, I couldn't help but feel sad, and the tears that I had just suppressed once again surged up and flowed all over my face.

Suppressing the sadness, Lin Xu raised his hand to wipe the tears on his face, dragged his steps over, picked up Afu Aman one by one, and said to his sister-in-law who seemed to be extremely sad: "Sister-in-law, get up, it's cold on the ground, I've been kneeling for a long time, and my leg ......."

At this sound, Qiu Chen still didn't seem to know, so Lin Xu called Afu Aman and said, "Fu'er Man'er, tell my mother to kiss up, let's go home!" ”

Afu Aman agreed, hugged Qiu Chen's arm one by one, and called softly and crisply: "Mother! Homecoming! ”

"Mother, get up, go home!"

Qiu Chen was in a trance looking at the familiar faces playing a movie in front of him, and suddenly heard someone shouting sister-in-law, she didn't know that she was the sister-in-law, and she didn't want to leave those familiar faces and those close smiles, but after a while, someone put her arm around her and called her mother, telling her to go home!

The word "go home" touched a soft place somewhere in her heart, go home, it's time to go home!

In this way, in a trance, she threw away those extremely familiar smiling faces, raised her head, the gloomy wind blew, and her wet eyes ached, so that she couldn't help but squint, and when she opened it again, she saw that Afu Aman's two little faces were full of tears, and she was anxiously pulling her arm and calling out one after another, and she woke up with a spirit!

Alas! What's wrong with her, she knows she can't go back, does she? How can you indulge yourself again and indulge in it!

Raised his sleeves and wiped his eyes, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket, wiped the tears on his faces for the two children, reached out and took the two children into his arms, patted and comforted them, and slapped the two children with the dirt on their bodies, which made Lin Xu hug Aman, got up and carried Ah Fu, and walked home step by step.

On the way, there was still some ignorance and asked: "...... Why is there only one grave in your house, the ancestral grave? ”

At this moment, Qiu Chen's mind had regained his clarity, and when he heard Junyan Junzhang ask, he couldn't help but prick up his ears and listen.

Although Lin Xu was still sad at this time, he also received a little sadness, and when he heard Junyan Junzhang's inquiry, he also replied: "I don't know very well, I only remember that my brother told me when I was a child that my father took us brothers to move from the capital, but my father only lived here for a year, and after settling down our brothers, he went out...... Since then, there has been no news of him...... As for the ancestors, my brother didn't mention it, and I don't know. ”

Feelings, this news is still inherited from the parents!

Lin Xu obviously didn't know much about the origin of the Lin family, but Qiu Chen still had some gains. For example, Lin Xu only mentioned his father in his speech, but did not mention his mother, and he didn't know if his cheap mother-in-law died before or what's wrong. As for the cheap father-in-law, Qiu Chen was quite unimpressed, ten years ago, Lin Xu was still a one- or two-year-old child, and Lin Sheng was only a ten-and-a-half-year-old child, so he left the two children here and never showed up again, this person has no sense of responsibility as a father at all...... Despise!

It is really not easy for Lin Sheng to survive with such a little Lin Xu, and to marry a wife and have children!

Qiu Chen sneered, and Gu Zi lowered his head and walked back. Junyan Junzhang didn't seem to have any interest in talking, and didn't ask any questions, the group was completely quiet, and walked back silently.

Let's talk about Liao Wenqing, that day the Lin family figured out what they were thinking, and they had the healing medicine formula in mind, and after leaving Liu Jiaao, they immediately returned to the Liao family in Fucheng overnight.

Although he was anxious, Liao Wenqing was not confused, and he knew that he would go to see his father first, and report to his father Liao Jiacheng about finding the best healing medicine formula, and Liao Jiacheng was overjoyed. But when he heard that the Lin family asked him to make medicine and did not hand over the formula, he couldn't help but turn angry.

"That woman is so ignorant, if it weren't for my Liao family, who would believe her as a country woman......"

Although Liao Wenqing knew that what his father said was the truth, he still felt a little unsatisfied, but he didn't dare to show face to the old man, so he hurriedly stepped forward to comfort: "Dad, don't be angry, listen to your son's words." ”

Liao Jiacheng glared at Liao Wenqing hatefully, but still endured his anger and sat down.

Liao Wenqing hurriedly poured a cup of tea and handed it to his father, watching Liao Jiacheng take a sip of tea, his face softened slightly, and then he thought about it and said: "Dad, my son has been in contact with that woman these days, and he feels more and more that there are more and more formulas of Poria cocos ointment and healing medicine...... Even if it's just these two formulas, Poria cocos ointment is enough, how much is the healing medicine worth, you are old and wise, you can naturally see it more clearly than me...... This time, the reason why she insisted on her own medicine was probably just what we thought about......

As soon as he heard this, Liao Jiacheng's anger rose again, and before he could speak, he was held down by Liao Wenqing and continued: "Dad, you have been doing business all your life, and you don't complain about this matter, but you can't trust us, I'm afraid that whoever puts it on you will do it." This healing medicine is not trivial, once it is taken out, let alone people like us, those official eunuchs can't help but stretch out their hands...... So, my son wondered, how can we take this recipe properly and quietly...... But it's too difficult, son, I'm trying my best for our family, racking my brains......"

Liao Jiacheng's anger has eased a lot at this time, and seeing his son squeezing his eyebrows and making strange eyes, he couldn't help but raise his hand and give Liao Wenqing a slap, and scolded: "Don't make a ghost, hurry up!" ”

Liao Wenqing groaned exaggeratedly, covered his head and rubbed it, grinning at the Liao family to complain, seeing that the old man was about to raise his hand to beat again, so he hurriedly stepped forward and held down his father's slap and said his plan: "What, don't you and my mother always hate that our son doesn't marry a wife and start a family...... You see, I'm not married, and her man is dead, so I marry her directly into the door, won't everything fall into place and be properly placed......"

To be honest, Liao Wenqing didn't have much confidence in his plan, so he looked at Liao Jiacheng's face with his eyes as he spoke, but saw that although Liao Jiacheng frowned after listening to him, he didn't get angry, and his heart gradually fell.

Liao Jiacheng frowned, lowered his head and muttered for a long time, but did not speak, Liao Wenqing felt like there were seven or eight cat scratches in his heart, waited patiently for a long time, and finally couldn't hold it anymore, so he went to change a cup of hot tea, handed it into Liao Jiacheng's hand, and shouted softly at the same time: "Dad......"

Liao Jiacheng took the teacup, changed his usual popularity, and sighed softly, so that Liao Wenqing just let go of his heart and slipped up.

Just when Liao Wenqing couldn't help but open his mouth to urge, Liao Jiacheng finally spoke: "I know that you are thinking about our Liao family in this matter, but that woman is a widow after all, and she has two children, so you are too wronged to marry her." ”

Is this agreed?

Liao Wenqing didn't feel aggrieved at all in his heart, and when he heard that his father was relieved, he was overjoyed, but he also knew that he pressed this joy to the bottom of his heart, and only showed a touch of perseverance on his face, and said: "Dad, as long as we can carry forward our Liao family, my son will not be wronged." ”

Liao Jiacheng was very, very satisfied with his son's courage to sacrifice and sacrifice at this time, raised his hand and patted his son on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, when that woman is married, let your mother wipe a few gentle and beautiful concubines for you......"

As soon as he heard this, Liao Wenqing knew that he had pretended to be pitiful, and hurriedly said: "Dad, although that woman was born in the countryside, she is not vulgar, and her appearance is quite beautiful...... Ahem, my son is really not wronged, you don't have to mention anything about concubines with my mother. ”

"Look at your little bit of talent, your dad is not confused yet, I have to talk about this after you marry someone into the door." Liao Jiacheng was a little unhappy when he heard that his son praised the widow like a flower.

This is probably the common problem of all parents, the child is looking forward to the child growing up, and when the child grows up, he is anxious to marry a wife. But when he really marries his daughter-in-law into the door, when he becomes a father, he will always feel that he has worked hard to raise the child and was snatched away, and he can't see that his son values his daughter-in-law......

Liao Wenqing hurriedly smiled and added: "Dad, after she enters the door, we still have to coax some, I can't say how many good recipes there are!" ”

Liao Jiacheng didn't scold his son this time, he held the tea bowl and nodded: "That's it, as long as you remember to expand our Liao family, and accept concubines, I won't worry about this idleness." ”

Liao Wenqing completely put his heart back in his stomach, slapped the old man again, and patted Liao Jiacheng comfortably, so he took the initiative to talk to his wife Gao, after all, marrying a wife for his son, most of the things have to be handled by Gao, the mother.

Liao Wenqing seemed to have seen that the Lin family lady had been married into the door and replaced by the Liao family's lady, and he happily went to talk to the Gao family after the Liao family.

But Liao Wenqing and Liao Jiacheng didn't expect that the two of them discussed something, but when they came to the Gao family, they were resolutely denied.

Gao didn't listen to Liao Wenqing at all, so he vetoed it: "If you want to marry a widow and enter the door, there is no way!" ”

It turned out that the Gao family had already gotten a letter from the little girl next to Liao Wenqing, knowing that she was distressed that her third son had a close relationship with a country widow these days, she held her breath in her heart, and when she heard that Liao Wenqing actually planned to marry the country daughter-in-law, of course she would not agree.

She is such an excellent son, what kind of high-ranking daughter can't marry, she has to marry a country widow to enter the door, how can she have the face to go out to meet people in the future!

"A woman's opinion!" Liao Jiacheng scolded, but he couldn't hold back his anger and told Gao about his and his son's plans in detail. Although the Gao family is not as transparent as the Liao family, they also know that the development of the Liao family is a major event and the top priority, since the woman has an important drug formula in her hand, her husband's son may not be able to change her plan to marry someone into the door, but she will never agree to let such a country widow be her daughter-in-law. To say that Gao was also a little anxious, his mind changed, and he said: "That woman is just a country widow, we are willing to take her in, she has accumulated a blessing for several lifetimes...... In this way, since it is useful to our Liao family, let's accept it! However, before admitting her to the door, the third child first gave me the marriage of the second lady of the merchant. When the second lady of Shang marries and enters the door, it is not too late for the woman to enter the door! ”

In this sentence, the main wife was changed to a concubine. Moreover, before admitting a woman, marry a woman from a large family......

Although Liao Jiacheng felt that this matter might not be as easy as Gao's calculations, he himself felt that it was too aggrieved to let his son marry a widow, so he didn't say anything against it for a while.

Liao Jiacheng and Gao's family don't know Lin Niangzi, but Liao Wenqing knows a lot, although he also subconsciously feels that his request to marry is great sincerity for the Lin family's lady, and he didn't expect to be rejected at all, but after all, he knows that the Lin family's lady is very arrogant, and she will marry her as a wife, if she takes a concubine, the woman will not agree.

Seeing that his father didn't make a sound, he seemed to agree with Gao's opinion, and couldn't help but be a little anxious: "Mother, people have that kind of prescription in their hands...... This is the letter that has not been spread, if the letter spreads, waiting to marry her and enter the door, where is it waiting for you to marry your daughter-in-law, and then go to accept someone as a concubine......"

Liao Wenqing was in a hurry, and he forgot to consider the wording, which angered the Gao family.

With a bang, the teacup in Gao's hand had been thrown to the ground and shattered, Gao slapped the table, pointed at Liao Wenqing's nose angrily and said, "No matter what great recipe there is, I don't need to sell my son to exchange it!" ”

These words are a bit piggybacking on Liao Jiacheng.

"What sell your son or not sell your son......" Liao Jiacheng didn't do it anymore, and when he was angry, he wanted to refute.

Liao Wenqing didn't expect it to cause such a big reaction, and he was upset, but he couldn't watch his father and mother quarrel for his own sake, so he hurriedly stepped forward and walked out of Gao's room with his father.

After walking out of the Gao family's courtyard for a while, the Liao family calmed down his anger. Looking at his third son beside him, Liao Jiacheng sighed lightly, and comforted his son rarely: "You can endure it for a few days, and let your mother dissipate her anger and mention it again." After all, she is a mother, and it is normal that she can't turn a corner for a while. ”

Hearing what his father said, Liao Wenqing could only press the impatience in his heart, and squeezed out a smiling face to respond: "Dad, don't worry, I know how to do it." Before my mother promises, I will stabilize that side......"

"Well, that's very good!" Liao Jiacheng can be regarded as letting go of the little worry in his heart. Liao Wenqing said that sentence just now is too right, the woman holding the Fang Zi in her hand has not spread, let alone being accepted into the door as a concubine, I am afraid that the Ming media is marrying and waiting to marry the woman can line up when she enters the door, he has no son to think that the Liao family is strong and no one dares to provoke, although he has a small family wealth, but after all, it is just a family of medicine and business, in this city, even if it is just a small official who does not enter the stream, he can be controlled, no matter those high-ranking officials are noble. If it really attracts the attention of those people, their Liao family can only stand aside.

Later, Liao Wenqing went home to discuss the marriage, and it ended with the parties temporarily ceasing.

Impatient and irritated Liao Wenqing appeased his father, and he couldn't stay at home, but the night was dark and the city gate was closed early, so he had to sleep with his temperament, and early the next morning, he left Fucheng and returned to Anping County.

That is to say, when Qiu Chen entered the city, Liao Wenqing actually also settled in the city, but sometimes people are also very wonderful, and they happen to see each other several times a day.

Liao Wenqing had originally made an appointment with Lin Niangzi, and came over to deliver medicinal materials and some pharmaceutical utensils on this day, including the whole set of cutting and grinding tools that he was familiar with, and there was also a plate of medium-sized stone grinding that he didn't know why. After loading the car and about to go out, Qin Zheng came to the door with a black-faced man, no need for Qin Zheng to say, Liao Wenqing also knew why these two people came. He originally prepared for the Lin family to contact Qin Zheng after the first batch of goods, which made him block the door, and many medicinal materials and pharmaceutical utensils in the car were unavoidable, Liao Wenqing simply went to the end, and said that he had found a prescription with excellent healing effect, and invited Qin Zheng to accompany him.

I thought that Qin Zheng was in a high position and busy, so he would not do it himself, but he didn't expect that people didn't say a word, and he didn't even get off the horse, so he directly turned the horse's head and let him lead the way. Liao Wenqing couldn't, so he had to give up the carriage, ask for a horse, and go with Qin Zheng.

It is the Qingming season, the willow spits green, the grass sprouts, it is the grass that grows and the warbler flies, as far as the eye can see, the mountains in the distance, the fields near the place, everywhere is the goose yellow and tender green, a piece of vitality.

Qin Zheng has a cold temperament and doesn't like to laugh, but the black-faced man Hong Zhanpeng has a bold temperament, and Liao Wenqing is looking for this topic a little deliberately, flattering quietly, and naturally he is very familiar with it. A few people did not urge the horses, just let the horses gallop, even so, it was far more than pulling the goods carriage, from Qingshui Town to Liujiaao only two quarters of an hour of effort, Liao Wenqing and Hong Zhanpeng called brothers, and there was a bit of a hatred of seeing each other late in the conversation.

Several people took advantage of the excitement, but they didn't expect that when they arrived at the door of Lin's house, they saw that the black gate of Lin Jiajian was closed. The three of them sat down and waited on the horse, Liao Wenqing's little maid stepped forward and knocked on the door, but the myrrh hand had just touched the knocker before it rang, and he heard the little maid behind Hong Zhanpeng shouting: "It's that shrew!" ”

This chanting, it can be said that Qin Zheng and Liao Wenqing are no strangers, it is not the first time they have heard An Lu called this, but Hong Zhanpeng heard the name An Lu for the first time, and he was quite interested, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the other people, and saw that a young woman in a blue dress was carrying a child on her back, hanging her head slightly, and was slowly but firmly approaching step by step.

Somehow, the woman didn't look at it, and didn't even raise her head, Qin Zheng jumped off the horse, subconsciously raised her feet, but just right to hide his gaffe, as if he just dismounted and moved his legs, and then threw the reins of the horse to the attendants behind him, put his hands behind his back, and stood there quietly, watching the family approach step by step with a cold gaze.

In contrast, Liao Wenqing is much more familiar. He also jumped off the horse at the same time as Qin Zheng dismounted, but he unabashedly smiled and stepped forward.

"Mrs. Lin!" As soon as he said hello, Liao Wenqing didn't go through his brain at all, his hands had already stretched out, and he took Qiu Chen on his back.

Qiu Chen raised his head at this time, stroked a strand of messy hair hanging down from his sideburns, hooked the corners of his lips slightly, and said, "Thank you Shaodong!" It's time to get home, let the children go on their own! ”

"No, no, this little boy is not short, but he is really not sink...... Hehe, the little guy seems to have to make up more, how can he be so thin! Liao Wenqing responded with a smile, and at the same time lowered his head and teased Afu, who still looked solemn. turned his head again, and nodded slightly to Lin Xu behind him with a smile. Lin Xu hugged Aman, and also nodded in response, which can be regarded as a greeting.

Qiu Chen turned his eyes at this time, and saw that Qin Zheng and the others had already understood the situation in front of them, so he didn't say much, just walked to the door with a smile, pushed open the courtyard door, and beckoned a group of people to enter the door.

The gate and the surrounding wall are clustered, including the ground at the head of the door are covered with green bricks, which can be regarded as neat, but when you enter the gate, in the huge courtyard, there are only three new west chambers that are still decent, the main house and the east chamber are low and old, there is a sense of crumbling, it is too reluctant to call it simple, it is simply too shabby.

Qiu Chen confessed and took the two children into the house to wash his hands and faces. My mother cried in the field, her eyes were red and swollen, and she was astringent and painful. Wash it with water and feel much better. asked the two children to find Junwen and a few, Qiu Chen walked over and greeted Liao Wenqing and the others.

An Ying's eyes swept around, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help revealing an undisguised mockery. It's just that at this moment, in front of so many people, he didn't dare to say anything recklessly, so he could only follow Junwen Junshu with a few guards, and led the horse to the backyard.

The front yard was shabby, and when he entered the backyard, he was surprised for a while. Although this little guy has learned to be as arrogant as his son-in-law, he has also learned some of their son-in-law's vision, and naturally he has some insight. If the front yard can see through this shabby words at a glance, although the backyard is only built with a few simple sheds, it gives him a feeling that he can't see through.

Especially the small house in the corner of the yard built alone, he looked at it for a long time, but he didn't even see what it was for!

Just stunned, Junshu Junyan took Junyan Junzhang and a few boys to lead everyone, led the horses to the corner of the stable, and took fresh forage, fed a few horses, and served thoughtfully and considerately, these people are good at riding horses, and naturally they are all people who love horses.

The man who had picked the horse for Qiu Chen had a rare smile and asked, "A few little brothers, they seem to be very familiar with the horses?" ”

Junwen is the boss, so he naturally has the responsibility to reply for his brothers, he clasped his hands in his fists, bowed slightly and said: "This eldest brother has good eyesight, our brothers are all playing children and then following the horses to mess around, not to mention how much they know, they just like horses!" ”

It's really rare for such a big child to be praised, and he can maintain such a simple and humble attitude, this man can't help but have an extra layer of goodwill, and the smile on his face is a little deeper.

Jun Yan also came back from the stable at this time, and when he saw the eldest brother talking to each other, talking about horses again, he couldn't help but interject impatiently: "This eldest brother, I see that you horses are really wonderful, but I still like my rouge!" ”

Seven or eight-year-old children, such a sincere compliment, people like it, of course, that sentence seems to be superfluous boasting, and it does not seem rude, but there is a kind of childlike innocence and simplicity, which makes people laugh.

A few men, except for this guard, didn't even hold back An Run, and laughed out loud.

Jun Yan was a little embarrassed by the laughter of several people, scratching his head, with a pair of big black and clean eyes, and everyone turned around, revealing an inexplicable look.

His appearance undoubtedly pleased the group, and everyone laughed loudly.

Junzhang's small body straightened his chest, blocked Junyan's body, and said angrily: "Our family's rouge is good, what are you laughing at!" It's ...... to come to someone else's house and make fun of the master Well, that doesn't make sense! ”

How can this sentence be reasonable, I just heard Lin Xu occasionally say it, and I felt that it was very powerful, so I remembered it in my heart, but I didn't expect it to be used by him at this time.

Compared with Jun Yan's simple and lovely, Jun Zhang Yongzhi instead voted for these men in the army. The guard had a smile on his face, and happily stretched out his hand to Junzhang, as if he wanted to touch the top of the child's head, but he didn't expect that Junzhang was angry, where would he be so obediently waiting for the other party to touch, tilting his head, raising his hand to reach out to the other party and open it. The guard's eyes flashed, and no one could see how he did it, but he just dodged Junzhang's arm, stretched out his hand but landed on the top of Junzhang's head without pause, patted Junzhang gently, and said with a faint smile: "The little guy has a good temper!" ”

"Hmph, don't touch me!" Junzhang not only tilted his head this time, but also used his legs, and jumped to the side hard, trying to avoid the man's palm, but he didn't want to, but the big hand seemed to have roots on the top of his head, and Junzhang jumped a few times in succession, but he couldn't dodge.

The little guy was not discouraged at all, he was not afraid, but aroused the stubbornness, his eyebrows were upside down, his eyes were round, and he no longer dodged, but ran into the black-clothed guard with all his might.

"Fourth brother!"

"Junzhang!"

"Little three!"

Several different voices sounded at the same time, Junzhang felt that he had lost his goal in his field of vision, but at the same time, his body was fixed by a pair of powerful arms, and his body was not listening to his own call, and his legs flew forward and turned his head, and he landed firmly on the ground. With his feet on the ground, Junzhang didn't wake up for a long time.

Junwen Junshu took care of the horses and tied them up, so he went to the fried medicine shed to set up a few benches, ready to let everyone rest, but after a while, Junzhang actually lifted the cow in order to protect Junyan and those people. The two brothers turned around and saw Junzhang crashing into the air with all his might, and his little body was about to fall to the ground. Junzhang and a few people are paved with green bricks, under this pounce, even if they are not seriously injured, they may knock out a few teeth, and their father and uncle entrust their two younger brothers to take care of them, in case something happens, how can they explain to the elders in the family!

In a hurry, the two brothers didn't think about it so comprehensively, and in fright, they shouted loudly and naturally blurted out, and at the same time shouted that it was the fourth brother. Junyan shouted that he was a junior, although this kid was one year younger than Junzhang, he always refused to admit it, and he didn't like to call him the third brother, but called the junior. The more formal Junzhang was a female voice, but the material delivery cart arrived, and Qiu Chen led the carriage to the backyard to unload the stone mill and all kinds of utensils. As soon as he turned the corner of the house, he happened to see such a thrilling scene, and he also exclaimed in surprise.

In the midst of everyone's exclamations, Junzhang landed safely and unscathed, and these people's hearts also fell to the ground from their throats.

Almost at the same time that Junzhang landed, Junyan rushed up, supported Junzhang, and called out repeatedly: "Little San, Xiao San, are you okay?" ”

Qiu Chen also quickly looked at Junzhang to make sure that the child was unharmed, and he also knew that it was this guard who was playing with the child just now. Although this way of getting close to the child is a little difficult to accept, she can still tell that the other party has no malicious intentions.

So, exhaling softly, steady, Qiu Chen slowly walked to Junzhang Junyan's side, first hugged the two children into his arms in a protective posture, and then looked up to recognize that Junzhang was actually the guard who chose a horse for her, and the only trace of safety left in his heart was also dispersed.

Although it was only the second contact, Qiu Chen knew that this person was cold-hearted, but he was very kind-hearted, and he was not the kind of person who was unreasonable. So the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, and he smiled at the black-clothed guard and nodded: "I didn't expect it to be this eldest brother, the child was young and ignorant just now, thank you eldest brother for maintaining it!" ”

The black-clothed guard is not a person of good words, and he just played with other children, but he just watched the two children naughty and funny, but he didn't expect to be thanked instead, and he was inevitably a little embarrassed, and a touch of imperceptible blush appeared on his dark face, and he waved his hand again and again: "It's okay, it's okay!" ”

Qiu Chen smiled and patted the two little guys in his arms, and said, "You two boys, you are really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, do you know that this uncle is very skilled, and he has a good ability to watch horses...... Our family's rouge, it was this uncle who helped pick it up! ”

Hearing that Rouge was picked by this person, Junyan raised his head and looked at the black-clothed guard with some disbelief, and after a while, the two boys actually pounced at the same time, one of them hugged one of the black-clothed guards' arms, and shouted in unison: "Uncle, are you really picking Rouge?" Teach us how to debate horses! ”

The two boys climbed along the pole, and the aunt called the eldest brother, so they naturally called the uncle. didn't expect that with such a pounce and a hug, there had never been a cowardly man among the thousands of troops, and his face was red.

After a bit of fighting, coupled with Qiu Chen's courtesy, the man in black opened his mouth in the face of the two stinky boys' requests, but he couldn't say a single 'no' word, and his always cold and ruthless face showed an unprecedented wry smile, and nodded with a stiff face and agreed.

Junzhang Junyan immediately jumped with joy and let out a burst of cheers, and at the same time let go of the arm of the black-clothed guard, followed Lin Xu's example in a proper manner, and slammed his fist towards the black-clothed guard, and said in unison: "Thank you, uncle!" ”

"Haha Ha ......" This time there was another burst of laughter, but it was Liao Wenqing and Hong Zhanpeng who walked behind Qin Zheng, and when they saw this scene, daxiao spoke up.

Hong Zhanpeng's laughter was not enough, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at the black-clothed guard and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that this kid Qin Yi also has this day!" ”

It turned out that the black-clothed guard's name was Qin Yi. He is one of the seven guards around Qin Zheng, and the other six names are Zhi, Xin, Ren, Yong, Yan, and Li! This time I came south, and Qin Zheng was surrounded by Qin Yi and Qin Li.

It's just that Hong Zhanpeng is wanton daxiao, but no one responds, and he is not surprised. After seeing Liao Wenqing laughing, he had already followed Qiu Chen into the fried medicine shed with Qin Zheng, and commanded a few people to install the heavy grinding plate, he looked at the group of people who were busy and crowded at the horse shed, and finally gave the noisy young people over there a contemptuous look, and followed Qin Zheng over. What is Qin Yi Xiangma's ability, it's not him...... His eldest brother trained it single-handedly!

There are two stoves in the southern section of the medicine shed, which occupies about a quarter of the space of the medicine shed. Qiu Chen commanded everyone and placed the medium-sized stone mill at the north end.

The stone mill master looked at Qiu Chen's position, couldn't help but wonder, and prompted: "This lady, there should be a grinding road around the stone mill, you let the press against the wall be so close, you can't push the grind!" ”

Qiu Chen smiled, shook his head and said, "It's okay, you only need to leave a one-foot-wide gap that can be cleaned by people." As for grinding, I have my own way! ”

She has seen the grinding in modern Xiangxi, without doing a circular motion around the grinding plate, but only need to add a wooden frame to the grinding plate, and then press a long wooden stick as a handle to push the wooden handle, which can drive the movement of the grinding plate. Moreover, after further transformation, it can also be transformed into a foot-operated type, which can be operated by people as long as they are sitting, with high efficiency and relatively labor-saving.

Well, the idea is going to be communicated to the carpenter. You have to find a carpenter with a flexible mind, otherwise, she can only tell the general situation, and I'm afraid she won't be able to do it.

The grinding master had no choice, so he had to command a few young people, and after a while, the stone mill was installed in Qiu Chen's designated position. Looking at the stone grinding that was almost on the wall, this time even Liao Wenqing showed a puzzled face, not to mention Hong Zhanpeng, he couldn't help but want to ask several times, but was stopped by Qin Zhengruo's seemingly inattentive gaze, and then he held back his doubts, and his whole face turned red.

It's just that obviously Qiu Chen didn't plan to solve the confusion of these people, installed the stone mill, and led everyone out of the backyard.

After counting the number with the medicine delivery person one by one, and checking the quality of the medicinal materials one by one, Qiu Chen signed the first name on the account book. She didn't sign Lin Niangzi, nor did she sign Yang Haitang, but just signed a little flower in the morning. This is the only practice she has during this time, and she can make people read. Unexpectedly, at this moment, this flower body morning character can be used as something similar to a seal.

After finishing this, it was getting nearly noon.

Qiu Chen looked at so many people, he really couldn't take out so many things to entertain at home, and he didn't prepare to keep a meal.

Said directly to Liao Wenqing: "Shaodong, in this way, everything is ready, I will start in the afternoon, and tomorrow afternoon, you can come over to get the trial supplies." The amount is not too much, about ten bottles. ”

Liao Wenqing was anxious, but he didn't dare to think that he could get the finished product in this way, and now he heard that he could get the finished product in one day, and it was too late to be happy, where would it be too little, and he couldn't hide his smile, so he agreed to it.

Qiu Chen felt that everything that should be said and things should be done, so why didn't these people say it and leave?

She is not good at verbal communication, and she doesn't plan to entertain these people, but after all, everyone is considered a partner, and if she really opens her mouth to pick people up directly, Liao Wenqing is okay, but there is a cold-faced Qin Zheng next to her, according to her guess, this army is probably a regiment-level cadre, and he is also in charge of logistics, if he really offends him, who knows if he will give them small shoes in the future!

Since you can't pick up people, then leave it for a while, and the other party should say goodbye.

Although it was a void, Qiu Chen would not put himself in embarrassment, but he quickly searched in his mind and went through the ingredients at home, the rice and noodles were enough, not to mention the eggs, just enough for the children to eat, and there were few stocks. There is still some pork, and there is seaweed shrimp skin that I bought yesterday...... That's right, she just bought more than ten big salted fish in the county yesterday, and there are chili peppers, without chili salted fish will be fishy, with chili peppers, salted fish will be very delicious, and, because it is very salty, the amount is also small, one fish is almost enough for four or five people to eat...... Hey, that's it!

Although, I am a little reluctant to take out my own rare chili peppers. Thinking about it again, with chili seeds, I don't have to worry about having no chili peppers to eat, and I am relieved again.

She has completely forgotten the custom of cold food and not fire!

Qiu Chen smiled slightly, and still said to Liao Wenqing: "Now that it's noon, if the young owner and you don't dislike the poor food of the farmer's family, let's leave the food here?" ”

Liao Wenqing also knew that there were a lot of people today, even if the young man who transported the medicinal materials went back with the carriage, there were still Qin Zheng and Hong Zhanpeng with a few entourages, and there were also fourteen or fifteen people in the gabar, especially Qin Zheng with people, but they were all military men, and they could pretend to eat, and it was really difficult for the Lin family to do this. What's more, he did feel that the general was a little sluggish to eat here, and he still remembered that the Lin family could still set up a good banquet that day, and he still couldn't get it on the table in his eyes. The combination of the two phases, he thought about refusing, but he didn't expect that Qin Zheng, who had been talking with a cold face, opened his mouth at this time, and said lightly: "Coarse tea and light rice are enough, don't be embarrassed!" ”

Liao Wenqing couldn't react for a while, General Qin actually agreed to the Lin family to eat? He is a general, have you ever thought that if he takes those seven or eight people, he will have two big pots of steamed buns for a meal!

Hong Zhanpeng was also a little stunned, he didn't expect that he could pretend to be a big belly, but listening to the eldest brother's words, it still sounded cold, but he was familiar with Qin Zheng like him, how could he feel that there was some concern in this sentence? Is there wood, is there wood?

A group of people, but Qiu Chen reacted, and after being slightly stunned, he understood what was going on in front of him.

Come on, she's really a guest!

At this time, Qiu Chen hated to bite off his tongue and heart, why do you say that you are so vain and love face, you can't wipe your face directly, now it's okay, you can say it yourself, people just agreed to keep food, and politely told not to be embarrassed, what else can she say? Hurry up and clean up your meals!

Reluctantly squeezing out a smiling face, Qiu Chen beckoned Liao Wenqing and a few others to the low table in the courtyard, made a pot of tea, and said with a smile: "There is no manpower at home, please take care of the slackness!" ”

After speaking, he stopped being verbose, and simply turned around and entered the house. Coming to fourteen or fifteen people, plus six or seven people from her own family, more than 20 people eating, she has to be busy!

At this time, she also thought, fortunately, she had a cold meal today, and the young people who were digging the pond had a day off--but, several of Lan Ying's helpers were also taken off by her, and there was not even a helper at this time!

First of all, I took a wooden basin, chopped five large salted fish into sections, and put them in the wooden basin to soak to remove excess salt. The dried bamboo shoots are also taken out to soak, and then the salted meat in the jar is taken out, and after cleaning, it is put into the pot and steamed. The pot below is stewed with a pair of big bones bought yesterday.

There was also a fire in the other pot, a large pot full of rice, a steamer was added to it, and a thin bamboo grate was also added to the cage, and a cage cloth was spread, and when the rice in the pot was boiled and expanded, she took the fence and put it in the steamer - don't get me wrong, Qiu Chen is not steaming rice - after the rice in the pot was scooped up on the steamer, she added raw rice to the pot again!

The salted meat and salted fish can be eaten, and when the rice is not enough, it will be ugly.

was busy, Lan Ying walked in with a basket of rolls, "Begonia, you didn't have time to steam dry food when you entered the city yesterday, I brought you a few." ”

As soon as I entered the door and saw so many people in the courtyard, I couldn't help but be stunned. I just heard Qiu Chen's noise here, she deliberately waited for the carriage to leave, and only came over when the voice was quiet, but she didn't expect that there were so many people here!

Especially the three sitting at the small table, one is cold, one is bold, one is handsome, and the other is so good-looking, but it makes Lan Ying feel a sense of awe, and she can't help but feel a little worried, as if she has nowhere to put her hands and feet. didn't finish a sentence with a loud voice, but stuck in his throat and eyes.

Fortunately, Qiu Chen heard the voice, wore an apron, and greeted him from the house with a kitchen knife in his hand: "Sister Lan Ying, you are here!" Come in, get in! ”

Although she was busy, she could see Lan Ying's embarrassment at a glance, and hurriedly said hello.

Lan Ying hurriedly agreed to go inside, and when she passed by the low table, she hurriedly blessed those people nervously, and then followed Qiu Chen to the house. Before entering the door, the smell and heat of cooking in the door rushed out, and Lan Ying exclaimed in a low voice: "Begonia, why did you make a fire to cook?!" ”

Qiu Chen was a little dizzy and dizzy, and before he could react, he looked at Lan Ying in a daze and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Lan Ying patted her thigh, and then said, "It's cold today...... That's it, it's just an old man's old saying, and there is no evidence......"

As he spoke, he turned around and walked to the door to greet her over and bolt: "Bolt, you go and talk to your grandmother, your Aunt Begonia is here, I'll be here for a while, let the family don't wait for me to eat!" ”

The bolt smiled and shouted: "I also told grandma by the way, Lingzhi and I won't go home for dinner, and we don't have to wait for the two of us......" Before the words were finished, the dexterous little figure had already flown out of the gate of the Lin family.

Lan Ying glared at him with disgust, turned back to Qiu Chen and smiled: "This kid ...... You're more honest than going home! ”

Qiu Chen smiled: "The children are greedy for companionship, there are many children here, and it is lively!" ”

"Yes! On weekdays, it's very lively to talk and laugh here, and even I feel uncomfortable staying at home for a day! Lan Ying said with a smile, rolled up her sleeves and came over to help. She didn't pick and choose dirty and tired, and directly took a low stool to wash the basin and soak the salted fish.

Although Lan Ying lowered her voice, the thatched hut was not soundproof, and the doors and windows were open, so the two people in the house were talking, and several people in the courtyard could hear it clearly. Naturally, it alarmed several people in the courtyard, and they all stopped drinking tea and chatting, paying attention to the conversation here.

It's just that when you hear the same words, everyone thinks differently.

Liao Wenqing was a little annoyed and embarrassed, just now he also forgot that today is the Cold Food Festival, if he really brought a group of people back, the family will not be on fire, and the restaurant will naturally be the same, he will really not end well. Why don't you serve cold food? But right now, staying is staying, and it also saves him the embarrassment of serving guests with cold food, but it makes Qiu Chen angry...... In this era, it is a great sin to disrespect our ancestors!

It turns out that this woman's name is Begonia!

Qin Zheng secretly disagreed, Begonia is also charming and enchanting in the spring flowers, but this woman's appearance is not bad, but she is beautiful and straightforward, and she is not half charming and charming at all, Begonia - not worthy of the name!

Salted fish is fishy and salty, not to mention, because it is half dry, it is not easy to remove the fish scales, and the fish bones are sharp, and if you are not careful, you will prick your hands, which is a troublesome step in making salted fish.

With Lan Ying's help, Qiu Chen cooked much more calmly. I took the seaweed I bought back yesterday and soaked it in water to wash it for later use, and I touched it, and saw more than 40 duck eggs, and took out twenty of them ruthlessly, hit the basin, dug a few spoonfuls of soybean sauce out, put a spoonful of meat oil in the pot, put the bean sauce in the pot and fry it fragrant, and then pour in the beaten duck eggs and stir it to make the fried bean sauce and the egg liquid fully mixed, in order to remove the fishy smell of duck eggs, Qiu Chen also ordered a few drops of wine, very, a stream mixed with meat oil and meat, duck eggs and eggs, and the unique salty and rich aroma of soybean sauce is fragrant. Caused the backyard to fiddle with the horses and children, snorted violently, and it was over, and it was too fragrant.

Prepare a fried duck egg sauce and put it in two small clay pots. Lan Ying had already washed the salted fish, Qiu Chen took two more eggs and beat them into egg liquid, took a basket and sprinkled a thick layer of flour, first put the cleaned and water-controlled salted fish pieces in flour and hung a layer of flour, then put them in the egg liquid to hang a layer, and then put them in a hot oil pan to fry.

Lan Ying knew how to do this job, so she took the initiative to take it.

Qiu Chen cleaned the soaked bamboo shoots and put them in the stewed bone pot. Eating dried bamboo shoots needs to be soaked for more than ten hours in advance, and she is too late to use them, so she puts them in the big bone broth to stew, so that not only the hair, but also the aroma of the bone broth will be eaten enough, and it will be fragrant when used to stir-fry.

Qiu Chen finished the above work, went to the place where she collected the dried chili peppers from the cupboard, carefully broke them one by one, poured all the chili seeds into a bowl, removed the chili pepper stems, and mashed the net chili peppers in a stone mortar, only half a bowl of chili pepper powder.

Looking at the red chili powder, Qiu Chen sighed, according to her taste, this half bowl of a meal is not enough......

Carrying a vegetable oil jar and chili powder, Qiu Chen went to the back of the house and set up a small copper pot to boil red oil. This thing is too choking, there is no way to get it on the stove in the house, otherwise, the house will not be able to treat people for a long time.

The Lin family was busy preparing lunch for guests, but there was no fireworks in the entire village of Liujiaao, and every household was clearing the pot and cold stove, and the smell of food wafting from the Lin family was particularly attractive.

After a while, the two tigers of the Qingshan family, and the third brother of the Qinghe family, all ran to the Lin family, entered the door, and ran to the backyard familiarly, and when they saw Qiu Chen's house boiling things, they all ran over to see, but they were choked and coughed and ran away.

Qiu Chen took a wet cloth towel in one hand and covered his mouth and nose, and waved the spatula to the children to keep them away.

Jun Yan and Junzhang were already familiar with these children, and greeted from afar: "Don't go over, my aunt is making medicine!" ”

When Qiu Chen heard this, he secretly sweated, and he didn't care about explaining, the red oil in the pot had reached the last moment, and he slowly withdrew the fire and collected the oil. couldn't wait for it to cool, so Qiu Chen picked a little bit with a spatula and put it in his mouth...... Well, it's fresh and spicy, and she likes familiar flavors...... Isn't the chili pepper too spicy here, why does she feel that her nose is sour and her eyes are hot?!

After collecting the fire, Qiu Chen returned to the front yard with boiled red oil, and greeted a large group of adults and children on the side of the stable, "I'll go to the front yard to eat later!" ”

Without the four brothers Lin Xu and Junshu responding, the Erkui family's Shanzi stone, the Lan Ying's family bolt, plus the five or six children who had just arrived, responded happily in unison. These children are used to eating at the Lin family, and they are almost no longer conscious of being guests, just as Lan Ying said, they are more sincere than their own family.

Qiu Chen felt that there were too many people and lively, and now there was no shortage of such a few mouthfuls of food, so he returned to the front yard with a smile and continued to cook. With red oil, the rest is simple.

When she returned to the house, Lan Ying had just fried a pot of salted fish, Qiu Chen took out the steamed salted meat, took out the dried bamboo shoots from the bone broth pot, and let Lan Ying cut them into slices, while she went to the vegetable garden to wipe them herself.

Onions and garlic always sprout early in spring, and Lin Xu planted old onions and garlic seedlings in the vegetable garden, cultivated thick soil, and the yard is separated from the wind and the sun, so it is much longer than the grass and trees outside. The garlic seedlings have been exposed to the ground for half a bundle, and the green onions have also grown more than a bundle of high dark green green leaves, and the Lin family's vegetable garden is a lush landscape.

Qiu Chen took a shovel and dug up a big pinch of green onions and green garlic, picked and washed it, white and green and tender, and felt that the water was smart and tempting to appetite in his hand.

Cut the green garlic into sections, add dried bamboo shoots, bacon and stir-fry, and of course a spoonful of red oil.

There is no need to fry the green onions, and there is a pinch of green garlic left, which is a good dish with duck egg sauce.

The food in the house was almost cleaned up, and Lin Xu also returned to the front yard with a group of soldiers and children.

Without Qiu Chen's instructions, Lin Xu and Junwen Junshu went to move two square tables, several chairs and benches, and placed them in the courtyard.

Then pour water for the crowd and wash their hands and prepare for the meal.

Qin Zheng was naturally the first in line, he waved back to serve the guards, rolled up his sleeves, put his hand into the wooden basin to soak, rubbed it twice, and raised his hand habitually.

"Hmm, what is this?" Starting with the small porcelain bottle, Qin Zheng was a little surprised, his family washed his hands with fragrant pancreas, but since he entered the army, these particularities have almost changed. But even if he has seen a lot of powerful people in the capital, he has never seen anyone who gives a small porcelain vase when washing his hands...... This should be a head oil, right? Or a dew?

Seeing that his mother made soap and didn't even see this very scary uncle, Aman couldn't help but feel a sense of pride, and stepped forward with a little show, tiptoed to take the bottle in Qin Zheng's hand, pulled out the cork at the mouth of the bottle, and raised his hand to signal Qin Zheng to lower down: "You are lower!" ”

Qin Zheng blinked, looked at the smug little girl, and ordered seriously, he couldn't help but be a little funny, but he still bent down very cooperatively.

"Reach out!" The little girl thinks this person is really stupid, such a simple thing, she still needs her little girl's step-by-step instructions! Is!

Qin Zheng is very innocent and inexplicable, and he doesn't know where the little girl's disdain comes from. However, it was the first time he had such close contact with a child, and he still found it strange.

He stretched out his slender and powerful hand, Aman carefully took the porcelain bottle, and Qin Zheng poured a little soap in his palm! Well, it's just a little bit, just two or three drops......

Because my mother said that when you wash your hands with this, you only need a little bit of it, and if you have bubbles on your hands, you will have a stomachache when you eat!
