Chapter 133: This Fool

“…… It is said that General Qin's injuries are not good, and they still do not heal for many days...... If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that my life will be in danger! ”

Yun Er Gongzi sighed: "This time, the emperor's grace is mighty, and he did not hold the prince and princess of Rongren accountable for escaping, but because the country has expanded its territory on a large scale again many years later, it has granted amnesty to the world. In addition to a very small number of murderers who committed the most heinous crimes, many criminals who have been wronged for many years have also been extricated from their predicament this time...... Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that General Qin's victory in the Northern Expedition is called a national celebration! It's just a pity for General Qin...... Even if he can save his life, I am afraid that he will no longer be able to command the soldiers and horses in the future, and the battlefield will be killed! ”

Qiu Chen held the teacup and listened, but her expression did not change too strongly because of Yun Er Gongzi's narration, and it was not until Yun Er Gongzi finished speaking and was silent for a moment that she said lightly: "This time, General Qin was able to save his life...... Maybe it's not a bad thing that you can't command a military horse if you're seriously injured! ”

As soon as these words came out, Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing, who was a little depressed, both widened their eyes and showed a look of surprise.

Qiu Chen smiled and said, "Hehe, I'm a Zhuanghu lady, I don't understand the truth, anyway, I don't think it's a good thing to go to the battlefield." Now General Qin is also considered to be famous and high-ranking officials, as long as his life is saved, is it not good to live in peace and stability? ”

As he spoke, his eyes calmly looked at Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing, as if he was seeking an answer from the two.

Yun Jichen raised the fan and pointed it at Qiu Chen, and immediately felt rude, and hurriedly took it back, but only patted his knees and shook his head and said with a smile: "Hehe, indeed, it's really good to live a peaceful and stable life!" ”

As he spoke, under Yun Jichen's lowered eyelids, a trace of doubtful deep thought flashed.

Liao Wenqing looked at Qiu Chen's calm gaze, and laughed repeatedly: "Live a peaceful and steady life...... Best! So, has Mrs. Lin ever thought about it...... Hehe, the recipe sent by Lin Niangzi yesterday, Huoxiang Zhengqi Water has been prepared, but Lin Niangzi indicated one time in the recipe, how to measure this one? ”

Qiu Chen was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help laughing: "It's me who was negligent for a while." I mean, can we use a thumb-sized porcelain vase...... Well, if the cost of the porcelain vase is too high, it is okay to use the small bamboo tube used in our healing medicine...... Whether it is a porcelain bottle or a bamboo tube, as long as all the capacities are made the same, the patient can take it directly after buying the medicine, open it, or take one or two sticks according to the condition...... While it is convenient for patients, it is also good for the sales of our medicines. ”

Liao Wenqing was just a momentary gaffe, and urgently found such a small question to talk about it, but he didn't expect Lin Niangzi to give a detailed and accurate answer...... At the same time, as an excellent rookie in the business world, Liao Wenqing is also very sensitive to business opportunities, as soon as he heard what Qiu Chen said, he immediately saw how this small standard quantification can bring huge market profits to Huichun Hall, and couldn't help but put aside the previous boredom for a while, and excitedly discussed this standard quantification with Qiu Chen.

"This is what you are talking about...... Isn't it the same as when you divide Rob Ma into small packets? ”

When they first got the Luo Bu hemp tea that the Lin family had made well, Liao Wenqing and the people in the Rejuvenation Hall were not surprised and fresh, but then they just felt that the Lin family did this, making it easier for them to count the number and weigh the province...... But no one thought that the convenience of the Lin family's Luo Buma transportation made them complain more about those ordinary medicinal materials that were not packaged in small packages; The cleanliness and excellent quality of the Lin family's Luobuma allow them to use no conditions or sifting, and they have also hoped that all the medicinal materials will be done in the place of origin to do this kind of net selection, and they can use them when they take them......

These guys who work in the Rejuvenation Hall have thought about it, but they are not sensitive to the meaning of it; Liao Wenqing was only surprised when he first saw it, and then he threw it into his mind, not thinking of the convenience and business opportunities contained in it......

At this time, after Qiu Chen's reminder, he suddenly woke up, and immediately deduced all the medicinal materials and all the finished medicines......

For example, the Poria cocos paste sold before was sold in large boxes, and a large box was bought, and then divided into many times when taking it...... Because the packaging is damaged, there is no way to avoid bacterial contamination, and a box of Poria paste has to be eaten in a hurry, and it will spoil a lot if you eat it slowly...... It is for this reason that after entering the middle of summer, the sales of Poria paste enter an off-season...... If the Poria paste is also divided into a bottle and a small box to take once, then there is no need to worry about spoiling after eating, and there will be no more reasons for this reason to make Poria cocos paste unsellable in summer......

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and the expression on Liao Wenqing's face changed from the previous depression and became energetic.

Yun Jichen drank tea silently, looking at Liao Wenqing, who was discussing business matters with Lin Niangzi, he lowered his eyes and shook his head almost invisibly, and sighed secretly: This fool!

Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing interacted until the beginning of Shen Shi, and then they said goodbye to Yang's house under the sunshine of the west fall. The other relatives of the Yang family had already left, and even everywhere in the house, the Zhou family and the Zhao family had also taken care of it, Qiu Chen sent Yun and Liao away, and when he turned around, he saw that Old Man Yang and Liu were looking at her with a worried face.

"Dad, mother, what's wrong with you? But tired? Qiu Chen looked at the face of the second elder, and the first thing that came to mind was that the two old men were tired after a day of trouble, so he hurriedly persuaded, "There is still some time before dinner, you better lie down and rest for a while......

Old Man Yang looked at his daughter with a calm face, and he didn't seem to know how to say anything, but he sighed gloomily and lowered his eyes.

Liu didn't have so many concerns, patted the kang along the way and motioned for Qiu Chen to sit down, took Qiu Chen's hand and said, "Begonia, what are you talking about...... My mother also knew that you were forced to say that, but why don't you think about those words, if this is spread out, you want to take another step...... It's even harder! ”

Qiu Chen looked at Liu in surprise, and then turned to look at Old Man Yang who was still hanging his head, knowing that there was no need to ask, the opinions of the two elders must have been unified.

She also knew that the act of pretending to be stupid and stupid in the morning was really not good-looking and unpleasant in the eyes of others, but she was not sure for a while whether she had done all the wrong things and said wrong things that made the second elder like this, or whether it was specific to a certain sentence......

Liu obviously didn't need her to respond, and then said: "It's okay for you to dislike the dowry, people who know Lu Dao know that you were forced...... But you shouldn't say that the company is recruiting people to come to the door...... Who would be willing to recruit this good man to be a son-in-law for others! Those who become sons-in-law are either people with such and such problems, or they can't get along at home...... How can there be a good one! Alas, you say you ......"

Hearing Liu say this, it was much better than she expected, but it was just a sentence, and she really didn't think it would have much impact......

So he took a fan and fanned it for Liu, and smiled and comforted: "Mother, that's what I said, don't worry too much...... Besides, I'm still keeping filial piety, it's too early for anything in the future, and in another two or three years, nothing should be said to fade...... It's just that there is nothing good, we are very comfortable now, I am blessed with a full child, and my mother should not worry too much about me. ”

Saying that, seeing that the Liu family still couldn't reconcile, Qiu Chen simply smiled and changed the topic: "Mother, I'm going back in a hurry tomorrow." Let my eldest brother and second brother live at home for a period of time, help the family to clean up, this is about to be harvested, so I won't let the eldest brother and second brother go back and forth, harvest the autumn, my father and mother and brother and sister-in-law discussed it, and cleaned up our house...... If you have the right land, you can buy some ......."

Listening to the girl talk about this, Old Man Yang and Liu both mentioned their spirits. Hearing Qiu Chen talk about buying land, Old Man Yang said: "Our family has more than ten acres of land, and now it depends on your sister-in-law and sister-in-law to manage it, if you buy land again, the two of them can't do it." ”

Seeing that Old Man Yang was interested in this matter, Qiu Chen also said: "Dad, we can only plant more than ten acres of land, if we buy more, dozens of acres and hundreds of acres, how can we only rely on ourselves." When the time comes, we will only need to collect the rent in summer and autumn......"

As he spoke, Qiu Chen looked at the faces of Old Man Yang and Liu, and saw that both of them gradually became gloomy, and a layer of joy floated up, Qiu Chen said again: "When the time comes, my father and sister-in-law will discuss recruiting a few people to carry the frame, and I don't need anyone else to do this part of the accounting, and my father can do a good job." When I was free, my father took a car to go around the fields to see the growth and harvest of the crops...... That's right, Daddy has to take good care of his body! ”

Listening to the days described by his daughter, it was exactly the beauty that Old Man Yang admired the most but had not been able to achieve, Old Man Yang couldn't help laughing, nodded again and again: "Don't look at your father's legs, if you take care of the accounts and look at the work of the crops, it is too long-term to say that there is nothing to do in ten or eight years." ”

Qiu Chen and Liu both laughed.

Qiu Chen patted Liu's hand again and said, "Yes, you take good care of your body, in a few years, the Junwen and Junshu brothers will marry your grandchildren and daughters-in-law one by one, and have a few great-grandchildren...... Then our family is really prosperous, and the people are thriving! ”

The words dispelled all the worries of the old couple, leaving only their faces full of joy and expectation, and they all seemed to be a few years younger all of a sudden.

In the evening, the family naturally talked about the small half of the night, and the Liu family also nagged and told a lot, and Qiu Chen agreed one by one.

Although Old Man Yang and Liu's are reluctant to let their daughters leave, they think that it will be the July 15th Midyear Festival soon, after all, the daughters are new widows, and everything else can be done, and they have to go home to Lin Sheng to worship at the grave during this Midyear Festival! This is a big event that cannot be delayed! The old couple was gloomy, but they didn't keep it.

The old couple didn't know what to say at all, Qiu Chen was in a hurry to go back just thinking about the soap shop at home, and he didn't think of any mid-year festival on July 15, let alone to sacrifice Lin Sheng to the grave!

Early in the morning of the second day, Jun Wen Junshu drove two cars, Qiu Chen took his four children into the car, resigned from the Yang family's parents and brother and sister-in-law, and set off to return to Liu Jiaao.

is different from the crying when they came, although it was a parting, although the family was reluctant to give up, they did not have all the worries and guilt before, but no one cried, only Zhou and Zhao kept telling Qiu Chen to come back when they had time. and Xiao Junli, who was left alone at home again, went into his house early in the morning and refused to go out to see anyone, and he didn't even come out of Qiu Chen and his party.

This kid is angry that he has been left behind, Qiu Chen knows that he is also distressed, but he really can't do it...... After all, the three-year-old child is too young to be away from his mother...... What's more, four of the five children in the family are gone, and if one of them is not left, I am afraid that the old people will be too lonely.

There was no need to detour this time, the carriage went straight to Anping County after leaving Yangjiapu, and then returned to Liujiaao through Chengjiadian and Qingshui Town. Therefore, the trip is much shorter than when I came, and I don't have to rush too much, but the road is leisurely.

Junwen watched his aunt talking and laughing with his younger brothers and sisters all the way, and he didn't speak, and when he saw that the car was about to arrive in Anping County, he finally couldn't help but remind: "Auntie, do we want to go into the city......"

Qiu Chen was puzzled: "Into the city? ”

Turning his eyes, he saw Junyan Junzhang Afu Aman's four pairs of shining eyes, and couldn't help laughing: "Are you four little things arching and pointing to buy something?" Cheng, seeing that it was almost noon, we simply went into the city to rest and have lunch before leaving. ”

Jun Yan Jun Zhang Ah Fu Aman got this words, and naturally he was overjoyed, but Jun Wen hesitated for a while before he said, "Auntie, isn't it...... Ming'er is the Midyear Festival! ”

"Midyear?" Qiu Chen was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he remembered what was going on in the Midyear Festival.

The fifteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar is called the Zhongyuan Festival, and there has been a custom of sacrificing ancestors on the Zhongyuan Festival since ancient times.

There is also the custom of putting river lanterns on the Midyear Festival. The Taoist priests of the Taoist temple will build Jiao and pray. However, with the introduction and prosperity of Buddhism, Taoism gradually declined, in addition to the sacrifice unchanged, more focus on some Buddhist sayings, on the day of the Midyear Festival, a hundred ghosts can not help but pass freely in the yang. Therefore, this day is also known as the 'Day of the Hundred Ghosts', and the monks of the monastery will perform rituals to appease the souls of those who have passed away from the ownerless or sinful.

In addition, there are many legends such as Mulian Saving Mother Day, but Qiu Chen only has a vague impression in his mind, and it has nothing to do with her, so he simply leaves it alone.

There is probably only one thing related to her, and that is the sacrifice. And there is only one person who can make her sacrifice.

Qiu Chen didn't care in his heart, but he also knew that there were some things that could not be said in front of children, and they could not even be revealed in front of people at all.

Speaking of the Midyear Festival, she remembered a saying, because the 15th day of July is the Ghost Festival, so the living people in the yang world are only 15 on the 15th of July, but 14 on the 15th of July. This is also known as 'July 15 to 14'.

Thinking that Gao Tongzhi was dismissed and investigated, it can be regarded as removing a dark cloud on her head, and just taking advantage of this day to celebrate, Qiu Chen was also interested: "Okay, let's go and have a look, buy some delicious food and go back, let's make a few good dishes tonight!" ”

When I entered the city, I saw that the incense and candle shops selling sacrificial things were particularly prosperous, and all kinds of sacrificial incense candles and other things were full of things in the shop. Qiu Chen entered the door, but he didn't need her to speak, so the shop guy packed a set of sacrificial things for her, and it cost a total of two taels of silver.

Coming out of the paper horse shop and sending the two carriages to the copper shop for storage, Qiu Chen took the children of all sizes and began to go shopping.

In addition to the sacrifice, there is also an activity of putting river lanterns, although there are not many waterways in Anping County, and the river lanterns are not popular, but there are also many small vendors who take advantage of the festival to put out a lot of beautiful river lanterns to sell.

Because the custom of putting river lanterns evolved from the story of Mulian saving his mother, most of these river lanterns are in the shape of lotus flowers, but some are more cumbersome and some are simpler.

Soon, a few small ones were attracted by the beautiful and brightly colored river lanterns on a stall. The vendor also had some sales sense, so he brought a basin of water, put a river lamp in it, and lit candles...... Although the blue sky is white and the candle flame is inconspicuous, it is enough to attract the curious eyes of children.

Qiu Chen also thought that this custom that had long disappeared in modern times was quite interesting, and he also made up for the children, although he let them come closer to see it. She herself followed Aman closely, looking carefully in front of the lantern stall.

From a distance, the lotus-shaped river lanterns are bright and beautiful, but when you look closer, the workmanship of this river lantern is actually a little rough, that is, some bamboo strips are tied up and pasted with some mulberry paper and Korean paper, and then some beautiful red colors are painted on the petals.

"This sister-in-law, you see that my river lantern is the most exquisite, and it can float for at least an hour without sinking when put into the water. We also have matching candles, all of which are made of good paraffin wax, not afraid of the wind......" As soon as the vendor saw Qiu Chen coming with a large group of children, he knew that Lu Dao was an excellent target for sales, and hurriedly came up to sell it.

Qiu Chen listened to what he said, and soon pulled from the straight work of the river lantern to the lantern to make a wish, and soon to the fact that Mulian saved his mother and crossed the weak water on the lotus......

She looked at the peddler Haikan with a smile, and wondered in her heart, if she didn't stop it, would this one be dragged into the queen mother's Yao Pond...... The peddler was so dry that he shut his mouth.

Qiu Chen listened to him for a long time, the hour was not early, and he no longer delayed, and directly asked the price.

The vendor asked for a price of ten yuan, and when Qiu Chen heard that it was not expensive, he simply waved his hand and said, "You all pick your own and pick up your favorite ...... However, whoever picks it will hold it themselves, think about how many you can take before picking, there are too many, you can't get it back if you buy it! ”

The peddler originally looked at Qiu Chen and his party dressed in general, and Qiu Chen didn't even wear a single star of jewelry on his head and ears, so he didn't dare to ask for a high price, so he gave a real price, but he didn't expect that he was a wealthy person, so he asked the children to pick and choose by themselves...... He couldn't help but secretly regret that he didn't ask for a few more dollars, looking at this woman's appearance, he was afraid that a lamp would cost ten or twenty more yuan, and he wouldn't care. Alas!

Excerpt 1:

In the dimly lit room, she was pressed against the door panel by the man. The familiar masculine aura hit her, blocking her screams.

The man's hand reached under his skirt and said in a low voice, "Don't scream, your sister is downstairs." ”

She struggled desperately: "So I don't have anything to do with you." ”

The man's chuckle overflowed his lips, biting her neck, and asked, "Then do you want me to tell her how we are so happy in this room these days?" Well? ”

In the darkness, the woman trembled and her face was as pale as paper.
