Happy Lantern Festival, full moon people reunited!

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

Yang Shu smiled and agreed to get up: "You can rest assured!" ”

Qiu Chen just didn't want to kick out the two princes who came to the door rashly, so he had no choice but to say to Yang Shu: "Then the second brother will go to the back garden, those boys are designated to practice on the ice, you can watch it, it is also reassuring." ”

smiled and shook his head and said: "You don't have to be careless, when our mother went back, you brought so many things, there is nothing inconsiderate about food and clothing, and there is no shortage of things at home now, it doesn't matter if you go shopping or not." You also tell your brother-in-law that it is the right thing for the prince to come to the door and take care of it. ”

Yang Shumeng knew that Yang Jingyong was the Tang Gongzi who went to Liujiaao with Qin Zheng before, but he also knew that he was not an ordinary rich son now, but the prince, sister and brother-in-law should naturally be well received.

Ordered, Qiu Chen and Yang Shumeng regretted: "I originally planned to accompany my second brother to go shopping on the street and buy some things for our father and sister-in-law and sister-in-law to bring back, who would have thought that these two gods would come to the door......"

Qiu Chen only secretly slandered, and he couldn't reveal anything on his face, while ordering someone to report to Qin Zheng, he ordered someone to take care of him in the flower hall, serve tea and snacks, and serve the two princes first.

Why are these two princes always so annoying!

But it is often the plan that is not as good as the change, Qiu Chen listened to Daxing's report, and before he could tell Yang Shumeng about going to the street, he was notified at the gate in front of him, and Yang Jingyong, the prince of Yong, and Yang Jingfang, the king of Fu, came to the door.

Qin Zheng also rested and didn't need to go to the office, so he discussed with Qiu Chen that he wanted to take Yang Shumeng out for a walk, and considered buying some rare objects and special products in the capital for the second elder to take back. Of course, the reason why Qin Zheng mentioned shopping was because he thought that his wife had been trapped at home for nearly a year and could not go out, and now he took advantage of his second brother's entry into Beijing to go shopping, which also made his wife wander.

Chengzi rarely entered Beijing once, Ah Fu Aman and Jun Yan Jun Zhang Junli also coincided with the rest of the day, Ah Fu invited the two brothers of the Tang family, Zhixian Zhide and Hezhen Although they were young, they also followed, and the boys deliberately gathered together to catch the wind for Chengzi, and naturally talked about the article, poetry and songs. Of course, a group of kids have fun at the winter party, which is the ice show. Last year, the Jingbei Hou Mansion selected a group of boys to practice ice play, and after the ice became frozen in winter this year, the boys of the ice play team practiced on the ice every day. A group of boys are holding their back, waiting for the moon to enter the moon, and then when the ice drama competition is held, they will earn a name!

After getting married, the number of shops and Zhuangzi workshops continued to increase, and the accounts everywhere were just Qiu Chen and the girl could not take care of them. Qiu Chen handed over the big account to the account office of the Jingbei Hou Mansion for accounting, and when the results came out, or there was a difference, she could just spot check and ask.

On the second day, Yang Shumeng came in again with Chengzi and Daxing, and reported the accounts of each Zhuangzi and workshop to Qiu Chen. Qiu Chen took a cursory look, understood the income, expenses, expenses and other major items of each place, and roughly estimated the situation of each place, and then picked a few places to inquire about the situation, then handed over the account book to Daxing, and asked Qingxing to take Daxing to the front yard account room to calculate the accounts.

Qin Zheng responded in a low voice, but there was a touch of contemplation in his eyes.

Qiu Chen leaned on her husband's arms, sleepiness came up, and nodded in a daze: "Well, I just think this child is not bad, he has seen it since he was a child, he knows the roots, and he is really good to Aman." ”

Qin Zheng was slightly surprised, and then hugged his wife with a smile and said, "Aman is still young, this matter is not in a hurry!" ”

In the evening, the couple talked at night, and Qiu Chen told Qin Zheng what he thought in his heart.

Eat and drink a full meal, and have fun. Yang Shumeng took Chengzi back to the guest house, Junyan Junzhang Junli and Afu Aman went to their respective courtyards, Qiu Chen and Qin Zheng sent everyone away, and then took Brother Yun back to the backyard, and watched Brother Yun settle in the second entrance, and the two couples went back to the main house in the backyard.

With a certain plan in his heart, Qiu Chen calmly encouraged Chengzi a few words, and specially introduced him to Qin Zheng, and after hearing this, Qin Zheng also appreciated it. Or, in Qin Zheng's heart, there is also a sense of sympathy, speaking of which, he is really similar to Chengzi's life experience.

Aman is still young, it's too early to say that the family affair, it is better to live two years, when the Chengzi scientific examination has made achievements, Aman has also reached the age of saying kiss, if both of them are interested, it is not too late to mention it.

His mind changed quickly, and the thought just now came up again, but he was pressed down by Qiu Chen again.

Chengzi's appearance is not too outstanding, but he has a calm and steady atmosphere. Although ill-fated, he is peaceful and quiet, as warm as jade, in comparison, although he is younger than Junshu, he is more mature and successful in words and deeds. Moreover, according to this child's intelligence, hard work, and intentions, his future achievements will definitely be small...... and the affairs of his father and stepmother are handled properly and thoroughly, and there are no worries......

Chengzi's eyes flickered slightly, and he glanced at Yang Shumeng, knowing that it must be Yang Shumeng who told his wife about the affairs of his family, so he didn't go into details, only arched his hand, and said respectfully: "It's Chengzi who is not good, let my aunt worry about it." Auntie rest assured, Chengzi will take care of herself. ”

Relieved, Qiu Chen stretched the hem of Chengzi's clothes, looked up at the embarrassed young man and said, "It's good if it can't be frozen, and I'll be relieved." ”

Since the loss of his mother, no one has been so considerate and caring, Qiu Chen's natural action inevitably made Chengzi a little embarrassed, blushing slightly, but his heart was warm and moved.

Seeing Chengzi Zhan get up, Qiu Chen simply beckoned Chengzi to come closer, she stretched out her hand and pulled Chengzi's clothes to touch layer by layer, sure enough, as Yang Shumeng said, the robe does not look thick, but it is covered with soft, light and warm gray squirrel skin, the jacket and pants are made of inconspicuous fine cotton fabric, and the silk cotton inside is soft and fluffy, all of which are the feel of good silk, far from being comparable to the inferior silk cotton of heavy cotton and cocoon scraps. Silk cotton made of fine silk is lightweight, fluffy, soft, and much more comfortable and warm than cotton.

As soon as he was happy, Yang Shumeng's voice was a little louder, and the children's table also heard it, especially Chengzi, who heard Yang Shumeng mention his name, naturally looked up, and then got up and smiled and arched his hand, "But there is something to order?" ”

Yang Shu laughed suddenly: "You can rest assured!" The clothes on Chengzi's body are all made by your sister-in-law, don't look inconspicuous outside, the robe is covered with gray squirrel skin, and the cotton clothes and pants are also good silk cotton, light and warm, and you can't freeze the child. ”

"Oh, that's ...... so" Qiu Chen suddenly sighed, and then sighed, "I said, why is Chengzi dressed so cold!" ”

I saw Yang Shu laughing fiercely and said, "Where do the women know this? For this matter, Chengzi took off his good clothes, and the shopkeeper Chen testified...... Of course, his father also felt that he had no face, and he probably kept it a secret, and there were no flaws everywhere, so how could the mother-in-law not believe it? Besides, twenty taels of silver and three hundred catties of grain a year is a lot, and if the family saves some, it will be enough to eat, wear, chew and wrap. The eldest of the three children is now thirteen, and if he finds an apprentice in a shop, he can earn money in two or three years. ”

"I burned Chengzi's deed of sale a long time ago...... Besides, Chengzi has a fame in his body......" Qiu Chen wondered.

Yang Shu suddenly showed a touch of disdain, shook his head and said, "Why didn't you make a fuss?" But Chengzi said that he was sold into slavery, and now he is willing to take out the money to support his father, if the woman makes trouble again and lets the master's family know, the money and things will not be taken out! ”

Qiu Chen was a little unconvinced, "That mother-in-law didn't make a fuss?" ”

Twenty taels of silver and 300 catties of grain a year, if the father of the adult son is just one person, it is naturally enough to feed and wear. But he still has a wife and children, and it is very reluctant to feed a family of five with these money and goods.

As he spoke, Yang Shu suddenly turned his eyes and saw his sister's brows furrowed tightly, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Chengzi is a child with a heart, although it is his own father, he can't deny it, and he can't watch that person lose his income and starve to death, but he is not stupid enough to fill all the money with that kind of person...... Moreover, Chengzi also has success, so he also asked the witness of the shopkeeper Chen to give his father 20 taels of pension silver and 300 catties of grain every year. The stepmother and younger siblings, but Chengzi made it clear that it didn't matter. ”

Yang Shumeng didn't know what his sister was thinking about, so he just nodded and replied: "How can you not admit it, it is his father after all." ”

Chengzi is a good child, but the wretched father and the vicious stepmother will be extremely troublesome in the future...... Forget it.

Thinking about these in his heart, Qiu Chen's thoughts of wanting to match the two children dissipated at that moment.

Now, Chengzi is dressed so frugally and even shabby, Qiu Chen was puzzled before, and after listening to Yang Shumeng's words at this time, he naturally thought of Chengzi's father and stepmother, and also thought of what Chengzi had said. He said, 'He gave birth to me and raised me, and in the future I will also do my duty as a son of man to provide for my old age...... Could it be that Chengzi gave all the money and things he had accumulated before to his father?

Looking at Chengzi again, he is very frugal inside and out, Qiu Chen took his eyes, the outer robe and the cotton clothes and pants inside are all cotton cloth, three shuttle cloth, these cheap fabrics, in the cold weather, there is no big wool cloak, not even a leather jacket and leather shoulders. When she was in Liujiaao, she gave 20% of the small Zhuangzi in Qingshui Town to Chengzi. Although that small village is small, only 150 acres of land, it has a lot of income every year. Not only did it become a professional planting village for peppers, tomatoes, watermelons and other vegetables and fruits, but later joined the melon, fruit and vegetable seedling breeding business, and Qiu Chen also selected two people with horticultural skills before, specializing in cultivating excellent varieties and selling improved seeds and seedlings...... Every year, there can be an income of more than 2,000 taels of silver, and the income of 20% is at least 400 taels of silver, plus the monthly silver of Chengzi, since Chengzi was admitted to Xiucai, it has risen from five taels to ten taels. Moreover, because Chengzi supervised the accounts of each Zhuangzi workshop, Qiu Chen also gave him a monthly example of a bookkeeper, thirty taels per month...... Everywhere is counted, and the annual income of the adult child is at least 800 taels of silver...... What's more, Qiu Chen also wraps Chengzi in four seasons of clothes every year, and every season is a new dress with good materials.

Although the two elder brothers only take monthly money and share money, the eldest brother Yang Shuyong also has an income of thousands of taels of silver every year, and the second brother Yang Shumeng is slightly less, and he also has 1,800 taels of silver. The money, food, and medicine that the second elder had given back were enough for Qiu Chen, and he didn't have to spend money on the two elder brothers. The nephews also study and go to school in front of Qiu Chen, and they don't spend much, plus the silk and satin that Qiu Chen sends back every year, and the clothes of the two elders of the Yang family and their brothers and sisters-in-law have also changed greatly, although they are not full of pearls, wearing gold and silver, they are also good materials inside and out, there are big sweaters in winter, and cool sheer yarn and silk clothes in summer.

While asking, Qiu Chen pondered in his heart.

Seeing that the children didn't hear it, Qiu Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, suppressed the anger in his heart, took a sip of tea to calm down his feelings, and then asked, "What happened later?" Chengzi recognized him and gave him money? ”

Qiu Chen also noticed that she was out of shape, but fortunately, although she was angry, her voice was not too high, and Chengzi over there talked to Aman Afu devotedly, talking and laughing, and didn't notice the situation here.

Yang Shu glanced at Qiu Chen, smiled and shook his head. Qin Zheng didn't know these things too clearly, and he was a little confused when he heard it, but he could see that his wife was angry, and silently held his wife's hand, patting and soothing it gently.

"How? When I had a stepmother and a stepfather, I sold my own son to be a slave, and I didn't care about it all these years. Now I can't go on, I think I have a son......" Qiu Chen's anger surged in his heart, and he couldn't control it anymore.

Yang Shu shook his head violently, and said with a disdainful expression: "It's okay to die, but I hurt my foot and walked lame." The main reason is that he is lame and can no longer be an errand in the yamen. lost the errand and cut off the income, the two couples and the three children from the mother-in-law couldn't get by......"

Awake, Qiu Chen didn't show much of what he was thinking, and only followed Yang Shumeng's words and asked, "Where is the injury?" But does it matter? ”

Qiu Chen came to his senses and was secretly vigilant, Chengzi stayed in Liu Jiaao for many years, no one cared about him and no one asked, but his family was very unbearable, with such a columbic and irresponsible father, as well as a stepmother and half-siblings...... This society is not modern, in this case, it is enough to pay alimony to the father without going home. In this era, even if it is a stepmother and a mother, it is just a slave to become a son, and the couple has no right to come over and interfere in Chengzi's life, but if Chengzi has made achievements, especially if he has entered the official career, the official reputation is extremely important, in case the vicious black-hearted woman is sued for the crime of unfilial piety to the yamen, not to mention that the career is ruined, and even his life may be put into it. In this era, unfilial piety is a major crime, which is equivalent to murder and arson, and can be sentenced to death.

“…… is a good boy, his father treated him like that, which made this child feel cold. Last year, his father was injured......" Yang Shu suddenly saw his sister paying attention to the gentle young man, and also sighed.
