Chapter 132 is so hired

After breakfast, Liu and his two daughters-in-law were busy preparing for the birthday banquet at noon in the courtyard, and Qiu Chen also went to help, carrying a basket of vegetables and sitting in the shade of the tree to choose vegetables. Junwen Junshu took the two helpers' women to load the Luo Bu Ma that was collected yesterday......

The family is busy and happy, just waiting for the relatives to come to the door to congratulate the birthday.

Soon after entering the temple, Junli, who was playing at the gate, ran in while shouting: "Grandma, here, here......"

Zhao wiped his hands on the apron, went over to wipe the sweat on Junli's forehead, and smiled and said, "You kid, who's coming?" ”

Junli blinked his eyes and said a little ignorantly, "Uh...... I didn't know, there were several carriages! ”

"How many cars?" Liu Shi also walked out of the kitchen, and he couldn't help but wonder when he heard this.

The Yang family's close relatives don't have any masters, so the Zhao family's mother's life is a little more comfortable, and they only have one ox, and they only have one or two ox carts to catch the car, where are the several carriages?

Qiu Chen washed his hands with a smile, helped Liu Shi to walk out, and said, "Mother, don't worry, let's go out and see if we know who it is!" ”

Liu turned around and smiled at his daughter and nodded: "It's too!" ”

While speaking, Qiu Chen helped Liu, Zhou and Zhao followed behind to welcome the gate, Yang Shuyong, who was repairing the medicine shed in the backyard, Yang Shumeng also rushed over when he heard the sound, but the family went out to see, they were a little confused, there were more than ten carriages outside the door, led by a boxcar, which had stopped outside the door of Yang's house, and there were no carports behind it.

What made the Yang family even more puzzled was that the carriage was loaded with some black boxes, and each black lacquer box was tied with a red silk flower ball......

This jiashi, how do you look like a dowry or dowry?

The family was puzzled, and a woman wearing a red gold satin shirt jumped out of a carriage at the beginning, standing under the car, first stretched the corners of her clothes, and then helped the eye-catching red gold hairpin with sideburns, and then seemed to turn her head and saw the people of the Yang family standing at the door, and a smile suddenly bloomed on her heavy makeup face, and she walked towards Qiu Chen and the others.

"Dare to ask, is this Yang Liancheng Yang Old Man's Mansion?" The woman straightened her back, and asked politely, but not in a polite manner, but rather condescendingly.

The Liu family and the Zhou family and the Zhao family were all a little confused, but Qiu Chen faintly thought of something, and a bad feeling rose from the bottom of his heart.

The brothers Yang Shuyong and Yang Shumeng rushed over, and just when they heard the woman's question, Yang Shuyong stepped forward and said suspiciously: "Exactly." Just didn't know you were ......"

As soon as the woman got Yang Shuyong's affirmation, she immediately laughed, and did not answer Yang Shuyong's inquiry, turned around and smiled and greeted the people who followed by the carriage: "This is it, hurry up and unload the car and carry the things into Master Yang's house!" ”

Yang Shumeng also saw that he was not dealing with it at this time, pulled Yang Shuyong, and the brothers took a step forward and stopped the woman: "This sister-in-law, if you don't say anything, you will unload the car, and our Yang family can't accept this unknown thing." ”

The woman raised her eyebrows, looked Yang Shuyong up and down with her eyes, and smiled without smiling: "The two of you are over...... Hehe, I was ordered by Lord Tongzhi to come to hire the son of Tongzhi, tsk...... Tongzhi Gongzi, it's really a good marriage that can't be found with a lantern......"

After speaking, without waiting for Yang Shuyong and Yang Shumeng to answer again, he turned back and went straight to the entourage who followed the car to move things down.

As soon as these words came out, Yang Shuyong, Yang Shumeng, Liu and others all changed their faces drastically, but they were all a little confused, and they didn't know how to deal with it. In their hearts, they also feel that the Tongzhi Master of the Five Rank Officials is their insurmountable existence!

Qiu Chen looked at the forty or fifty young men in the car, and secretly calculated in his heart, as long as a few people from their Yang family were so strong, they couldn't stop it at all.

She tugged at the corner of Yang Shumeng's clothes: "Second brother, can you ride a horse into the city now?" ”

Yang Shumeng's tense cheek muscles jumped suddenly, but after listening to Qiu Chen's words, he didn't hesitate at all, nodded, and said, "Yes!" ”

"I'll take words to stabilize them, you go to Fucheng, go to Yunzhong Immortal to find their shopkeeper, and let him take you to find Yun Er Gongzi!"

Yang Shu nodded violently, squeezed out of the crowd, and ran towards the south of the village - just now Jun Yan Junzhang led a few horses to the south of the village to drink horses, he went there to ride a horse, and he could go directly to Fucheng.

"This sister-in-law, let them wait!" Qiu Chen smiled and spoke.

"Oh, what's the ......" The woman choked a little impatiently, and when she saw Qiu Chen's dress, her face immediately softened, and she even put on a smile again, "Dare to ask this is the begonia girl of the Yang family?" ”

Liu Shi gripped Qiu Chen's hand tightly with a worried face. Qiu Chen gently patted Liu's arm, comforted, and said with a smile: "It's rude for my sister-in-law to ask like this...... I married the wife of the Lin family five years ago, and my sister-in-law should call me Mrs. Lin. ”

"Hehe, what you said ......" the woman sneered, "You are going to marry into the same prefect's mansion, and you will be called the grandmother of the Yang family in the future, so don't mention it again in the Lin family!" ”

Yang Shuyong, Liu and the others looked even more ugly, but Qiu Chen's expression remained unchanged, and he still said with a smile on his face: "Grandma Yang? So, what you said about the same acquaintance is trying to hire me as the wife of the main family? ”

Qiu Chen patted Liu's hand, asked Yang Shuyong to come over to help Liu, took a step forward by himself, and said with a smile: "Since you are hired as the wife of the main family, this is a question and a ...... didn't take a step, and came to the door to give a dowry gift, which is too inconsistent with the ceremony, right? ”

The woman's smile froze on her face, and she pulled her mouth hard, revealing an expression that was more ugly than crying, and said, "What do you say...... Hehe, I have already said just now, this can marry into the same prefect, it is a blessing that has been cultivated in three lifetimes, and it is also a good marriage that cannot be found with a lantern...... As for the number of rites, it is also ...... is also the same as the son of the same prince admired too much, in a hurry...... I can fully understand it! ”

It seemed that she was very satisfied with her impatience, and the woman's face softened, and she smiled again: "Besides, if you can marry into the same prefect as soon as possible, you can also enjoy the glory and wealth as soon as possible, and the wealth and glory will ...... sooner."

Qiu Chen smiled at the corner of his mouth, listening to the woman's nonsense, and walked towards the carriage. Seeing that those young men were still unloading their things, Qiu Chen smiled and said to the woman who followed her closely: "That's all you said, but since this dowry was sent to me, you have to let me see it, right?" This box is closed so tightly, is it all empty inside? ”

The woman froze, the smile on her face could no longer be maintained, she raised her hand and waved at those young people, stopped everyone's action of unloading the car, and said loudly: "Open it, open the gift box, let our Grandma Yang take a look, see it clearly, don't say that the prefect will send an empty box for the dowry gift!" ”

Qiu Chen didn't pay attention to the heavy mockery in her tone, and just stood by the car with a relaxed attitude, as if he was just waiting to see the dowry in the gift box.

Those young men also felt fresh, and they came out of the same prefect's mansion, and they also thought that they were well-informed, but it was the first time that the woman personally asked to open the dowry to see.

They looked at the dilapidated courtyard walls and houses of the Yang family, and then looked at Qiu Chen and the Yang family's simple clothes that were not as good as the clothes of the people in their mansion, and they couldn't help but show a mockery on their faces, and a few of them even said something in a low voice, and laughed unabashedly.

The faces of Yang Shuyong, Liu and the others were so ugly and ugly, only Qiu Chen still stood there with the same face, as if he couldn't see and hear the ridicule of these people at all.

The gift box of the next wedding gift is painted with oily black lacquer, because it is tied with red silk flowers, and if you want to open the gift box at this time, you have to lift it up one by one, and untie the red silk joints pressed under the gift box to take off the lid of the box.

Those young people were in a hurry, upset and irritable, but they couldn't save trouble, so they had to lift the gift box by two people, and one leaned over to untie the red silk at the bottom of the box......

The first gift box was opened, and the woman smiled disdainfully, and said to Qiu Chen, "Grandma Yang, please take a look!" ”

Qiu Chen was not in a hurry, he adjusted his clothes slowly and methodically, and then raised his feet and walked towards the box, and at a glance, Qiu Chen couldn't help but show a touch of surprise - the first gift box actually contained five neat pieces of small adobe the size of red bricks!

The woman was very satisfied to see the surprise on Qiu Chen's face, and said with a smug smile: "Grandma Yang...... Is this not satisfying? Oh, yes, Grandma Yang probably hasn't seen this kind of dowry...... This adobe is not a simple adobe, this adobe is a hectare of high-quality fertile land! ”

Qiu Chen simply followed her words and pretended to be stupid, raised his eyebrows and said, "A hre? That's a lot? My family just bought 300 acres of land! ”

The woman really didn't expect that this family could buy 300 acres of land at once, she was stunned, and then smiled: "Grandma Yang, this hectare is 100 acres, and this is 500 acres of adobe, this is 500 acres of fertile land!" There is nothing else, only the income of these 500 acres of fertile land is enough for Grandma Yang to eat and drink undefeated! ”

Qiu Chen raised his eyebrows and began to count with his fingers: "One mu of land can handle two stones of wheat a year, one pound of wheat is four yuan, one stone of wheat is one hundred and twenty pounds, and two stones of wheat are nine hundred and sixty yuan...... One hundred acres of land is 96,000 ...... That's ninety-six taels of silver...... 500 acres of land, a year is 480 taels...... Four hundred and eighty taels of silver......"

"That's right, that's four hundred and eighty taels of silver...... the woman finally waited for Qiu Chen to finish counting with her fingers, and hurriedly intercepted Qiu Chen's words and emphasized loudly, "Four hundred and eighty taels of silver, four hundred and eighty taels of silver for a year......

Qiu Chen's face suddenly changed, and he was very disappointed: "...... It's only four hundred and eighty taels...... What is four hundred and eighty taels enough? There are only thirteen people in my family, and the monthly money of these people, plus food and clothing, is nearly two hundred taels a year. I also have eight mules and horses, and these eight mules and horses have more than a hundred taels of silver for chewing grain a year...... These two places add up to more than three hundred taels, and there are one hundred taels...... I also run a private school, and Mr. Private School has to pay 80 taels a year for food and clothing......"

Having said this, Qiu Chen suddenly stopped, only looked straight at the woman, and sprinkled a pair of hands......

"I didn't spend this penny on myself, four hundred and eighty taels didn't have ...... I also want to be in touch with people, as well as food, clothing and clothing...... Where does all this money come from? Tell me, where do I get all this money from......

The woman was dizzy by Qiu Chen's eyes, and now she was dumbfounded by Qiu Chen's question, her face was flushed, and she almost spurted out a mouthful of blood...... Four hundred and eighty taels of silver were actually lost in such a short time...... Four hundred and eighty taels, after a year, she broke her mouth and broke her legs, and said that it was a marriage of ten or eighty, and she didn't necessarily get much silver...... Even this time, the same acquaintance only promised her a hundred taels of silver to give her a dowry gift...... She closed her mouth with joy...... People actually took 480 taels of silver and still looked so disgusted...... Oh, no, it's four hundred and eighty taels a year, and there will be wows every year after that......

“…… Aren't you lying, you said that you can spend enough for a year without worrying, where am I not worried? I didn't have any money...... Tell me, how did you deceive people, and you came to my door to deceive people...... What are you doing here......" Qiu Chen still relentlessly chased after the woman and asked, the woman claimed to have a lotus flower, but she couldn't deliver a word at this time.

She tried hard to get rid of Qiu Chen's questioning, so she was forced to retreat step by step by Qiu Chen......

Finally, the woman found her mouth, took Qiu Chen's hand and said, "Grandma Yang, Grandma Yang...... Let's take a look at the back, there's still a ...... There's a lot more to ...... behind."

Qiu Chen ignored her, only crossed his waist and said angrily: "What do you see? You got a few pieces of adobe to fool people at the first lift, and there's still a good thing to do in the back? Go, go, go...... I've seen people who come to the door to propose marriage, but I haven't seen you come to the door like this to fool people, I don't know, and I still know that the son of the adult family has to rely on fooling to marry a daughter-in-law......"

The woman and the young men were so shocked by Qiu Chen's words that they opened their mouths, and the woman wanted to say something, but Qiu Chen didn't let her speak at all, but said angrily: "Hurry up, if you don't leave, I'll call dozens of uncles and brothers to come, and blow you out with big sticks......"

The woman swallowed her saliva and finally interjected, "Grandma Yang...... Grandma Yang, listen to me, we know that Gongzi is really sincerely asking to marry......"

"Sincerely asking for a marriage? If you sincerely ask for marriage, you will use such a few pieces of dirt to fool people? Hmph, you hurry back and tell you what kind of acquaintance son, just say that if he really wants to marry me, show sincerity...... Oh, by the way, I forgot to say, I'm a woman, I can only recruit people but not marry, you ask your son who knows the same thing, ask him if he can recruit people......"

The street in front of Yang's house is not deep or wide, and there are so many carriages blocked, which naturally attracts people's attention, but those people in the village are afraid of the power of this big cart, and they heard that it is about the same son, so they don't dare to go too far, they all look at it from a distance, and discuss it quietly and enthusiastically......

But just when these villagers didn't dare to step forward, another group of people, dressed in splendid clothes and handsome appearance, anxiously squeezed through the crowd, but stopped not far from the gate of the Yang family. There was also a person who was known to everyone in the Yang family's shop, and he also hurriedly squeezed in from the back of the crowd, and kept running towards Qiu Chen: "Sister, ......"

Yun Er Gongzi tapped the shoulder of the person next to him with a fan, and his laughter almost fell: "Haha, it seems that we are in such a hurry to come over, but there is no use......"

Liao Wenqing was a little distracted, and his face was very ugly, he didn't hear what Yun Er Gongzi said, but he clearly heard Lin Niangzi's Hu just now-Can you recruit trouble?

He felt a little touched in his heart, he didn't know if the three fat pigs of the Tongzhi family could recruit them, but he knew that if this condition was passed out, it would be really impossible for him and her to come out!

The old lady of the Liao family refused to even let him marry her, how could she agree to him to recruit someone to be her son-in-law...... No, don't talk about his mother, even his father will definitely not agree!

Those who are willing to recruit others as sons-in-law are either unable to eat more for their sons in the family, or the family is dead, and there is nothing to worry about...... Otherwise, no one would do such a thing of betraying their ancestors!

The woman still wanted to argue something with Qiu Chen, but Yun Er Gongzi was obviously a little impatient, dangling the folding fan, slowly pacing up, and said with a smile on her face: "Isn't this the most famous official media in Anyang Mansion, Mrs. Tian?" Why, the official media is not appropriate, and they come to others to swagger and deceive? ”

Mrs. Tian was suddenly called out of her identity, and hurriedly looked back, her face turned white, and she stumbled: "Yun, the second son of Yun...... You, how did you get here? ”

Yun Jichen glanced at Mrs. Tian coldly, and then looked at the long carriage, but he didn't pay attention to Mrs. Tian, and instead instructed the entourage behind him: "Come on, take these and bring them back to the master." Let's just say that this is the property of Gao Xiupu and Gao to marry a people's woman...... Tsk, five acres of land, eight shops...... What else is there about this...... With so much gold and silver property, how to convert it into one hundred or twenty thousand taels of silver...... It just so happened that Lord Qincha from above had just arrived in Fucheng, and he had already dismissed Gao Xiupu and Gao from his post for investigation, and was about to start collecting evidence of Lord Gao's corruption of ink, and these things were sent over, but it was just right...... As far as I know, Gao Xiupu is a five-grade person, and a year's Lu rice should be one hundred and eighty stones, and each stone of rice is calculated at the market price of two taels and five yuan, so Gao Daren's annual silver is only four hundred and fifty taels...... Hehe, this shot is one or two thousand taels of silver, I really don't know how many years Gao has been saving without eating or drinking...... Hum! Seal the box and take it away! ”

When Yun Jichen said that Gao Xiupu was dismissed and investigated, the young men who had been proud of their martial arts before turned pale with earthy faces, and that Mrs. Tian directly withered on the ground with her legs weak...... At this moment, Yun Jichen took it away, and there were only a dozen or so entourages who came up with Hulala, but they took Tian Pozi and the young men who escorted the car to give the dowry without hindrance, as if they suddenly arrived, and walked away in a blink of an eye.

As soon as the carriage left, the door of Yang's house became extraordinarily spacious, and at this time, Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing, who only had two small servants left around them, became even more eye-catching.

"Thank you Yun Er Gongzi and the young owner for their timely help!" Qiu Chen smiled and bowed his knees to thank Yun Er and Liao San.

"I think that without us, Lin Niangzi would definitely be able to blow people away with her three-inch tongue......" Yun Jichen said with a smile, put away the folding fan in his hand, looked upright, and said: "I heard that today is Ling Zun's birthday, Xiao Ke and Wen Qingxian came to worship Ling Zun's birthday, but I didn't expect it, but I encountered such a scene!" ”

Qiu Chen smiled and thanked again, and then asked, "Then Gao Xiupu was really dismissed and investigated?" ”

Yun Jichen smiled and nodded, but no longer answered, and Qiu Chen stopped talking in moderation and led Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing to the door.

Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing have been to Liujiaao, have seen Liu's family, and have a relationship with Yang Shuyong and Yang Shumeng, and they are not too unfamiliar. Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing were already looked at by the Yang family, and now they are the love of the Cheng family, and after solving such a big difficulty, the Yang family naturally regarded the two of them, especially Yun Ergongzi, as benefactors who understood the danger and the needy, and naturally respected them. Liao Wenqing naturally couldn't bear it, and Yun Jichen couldn't bear the old man's gift, so he stretched out one hand and hurriedly supported the old man Yang who bowed down.

Yun Jichen said with a smile: "I can't help it, I can't help it, the two of us are juniors, this time I came to congratulate the old man on his birthday, uncle, if you do it again, it will really break the life of the two of us!" ”

Hearing him say this, Yang Liancheng could only give up, but he also asked Junwen to help him and accompany Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing into the house.

A farce, which came suddenly and went neatly.

The farce did not seem to leave any traces except for a false alarm for the Yang family.

After Liao Wenqing and Yun Jichen came to the door, soon, the relatives and neighbors of the Yang family also began to come to the door one after another to congratulate Old Man Yang on his birthday.

It's just that because of Liao Wenqing and Yun Jichen's door-to-door birthdays, the two tables originally prepared by the Yang family are not enough. Qiu Chen had to deal with a few words, so he asked Yang Shuyong and Yang Shumeng to accompany Liao Wenqing and Yun Jichen, and she hurriedly went to the kitchen, looked at the ingredients, and tried to add another table of dishes.

Finally steamed out a table of eight dishes and eight bowls, Liao Wenqing and Yun Jichen were placed on a table in the hall, accompanied by Old Man Yang and two older people. Yang Shuyong and Yang Shumeng went to the courtyard to accompany the other guests.

A birthday banquet was lively and noisy, starting from noon, until the end of the day. The people outside drank three times, and Old Man Yang and the other two elders had already been helped to sleep on the kang.

After withdrawing from the table, Qiu Chen sat in the hall with Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing, drinking tea and talking about Gao Xiupu.

This time, Gao Xiupu was dismissed from his post and investigated, which was the result of many impeachment excerpts sent together. Those impeached included Yun Zhifu and Zhenbei General Qin Zheng.

Speaking of Qin Zheng, Yun Er Gongzi couldn't help but sigh again and again, "It's really a jealous talent...... It is said that General Qin's injuries were very bad, and the emperor sent the imperial hospital to treat them with all his might, but the imperial doctors were helpless......"
