Chapter 328: Brother and Sister
Huang Pozi took fifty taels of silver tickets, and retreated contentedly, I don't know what she did, the big girl followed her into the car without crying or making trouble, but after the carriage moved, the big girl leaned out of the car and shouted to the woman under the car: "Mother, you go and pick me up, you will pick me up tomorrow Ha......"
Although the woman was full of longing for a good life of silk and pearl jade, she really watched her daughter being taken away, but she still couldn't help crying, and tears rained down. Qiu Chen stood in the room, looking at the woman who was barely breathing from the open window, covering her mouth and crying, although she was crying hard, her feet were like nailed to the ground, and she didn't move half a step.
With a very slight snort from his nostrils, Qiu Chen turned around and sat back on the kang and instructed Yufeng, "You take that woman back to the city first!" …… Tell her to live in the advanced city for a few days and learn some needlework and stove skills......"
Yufeng raised her eyes and looked at it, and retreated in agreement.
The woman was crying, and when Yufeng walked out, she handed her a handkerchief, and whispered comfortingly: "Don't cry, crying like this, the master will feel unlucky!" ”
The woman raised her eyes to look at Yufeng, and hurriedly wiped her eyes and said, "Thank you sister for reminding her!" ”
Yufeng glanced at the woman with red and swollen eyes and a sad face, and sighed secretly. Originally, the eldest aunt took pity on her orphan daughter and widow, and gave their mother and daughter a job, and also gave their mother and daughter a way to live, but she didn't expect that the people's hearts were insufficient, and they actually paid attention to such three indiscriminate people...... Iniquity is forgivable, but self-inflicted iniquity cannot be lived!
"Don't thank me, we will all be under my wife in the future, and we should take care of each other...... Go wash your face, and my wife says I'll take you back to the city!" Yufeng's face was kind and eloquent.
The woman looked up at Yufeng in some surprise and said in surprise, "What are you doing back to the city?" ”
Yufeng looked at her and shook her head and sighed: "Alas, why don't you want to think about it, the eldest uncle's wife is not here at this time, our wife is an aunt who is out of the house after all, can you take advantage of this time to stuff people into the eldest brother's house?" So what has become of our wife? ”
Seeing that the woman was still ignorant and unwilling, Yufeng shook her head secretly, but comforted her with a pleasant face: "Besides, if you are so mixed with this matter, you will be sent to the eldest uncle's house, at best, you will be a person in the house, then you will be a girl...... If you want to take a concubine, you have to go through the motions, although you can't hire three media and six people, how can you have a concubine document, right? has a concubine with a clerical order, that's a noble concubine, that's half a master, don't you have to be the strong one who didn't end up at this time? ”
"And that said?" The woman seemed to understand something.
Yufeng nodded and said, "Naturally...... Besides, since you want to take a concubine, you have to learn some crafts. As you are now, your uncle will become more and more developed in the future, and the little girl who is bright and bright, where will she care about you? Alas, our wife is kind-hearted, since she stopped you from doing this, she naturally doesn't want you to end up, this time I will take you back to the city, and I also want you to learn the craft with the chef and embroidery lady in our house. ”
The woman gradually came to her senses, and all the sorrow on her face faded, leaving only her face full of joy and heavy anticipation. Agreed, bent his knees and saluted Yufeng: "Thank you sister for reminding me, I am a solid-eyed person, stupid and unbreathable, and I will rely on my sister to mention more in the future!" ”
As he spoke, he took out a small silver ingot from his arms and stuffed it into Yufeng's hand.
Yufeng only felt a sinking in her hand, and she humbly refused twice, but the woman insisted on not accepting it, and Yufeng put it into her purse. Then, the woman hurriedly went back to the room, packed up her clothes, and came out with a small baggage, and followed Yufeng back to Anyang City by car.
"Yufeng took the woman back to the city, and it was Junzi who sent them by car!" Chen came in to pray.
Qiu Chen nodded with a wooden face, and after a long silence, Fang sighed and said, "You ask Qin Li to send someone to Huang Pozi, buy that little girl, and send her to the Zhengding Mansion Mansion!" ”
Chen promised to leave, Qiu Chen said again: "It's okay, don't treat her harshly!" Teach well! ”
Chen responded, waited for a while, Qiu Chen waved his hand to signal that there was no more instructions, and then Chen lowered his hand and retreated, and went to the front yard to find Qin Li.
Today, Chen can be said to be very surprised, but very happy. Mrs. has the means, and after marriage, she will not be deceived when she enters Beijing. It's just that Madame's method is soft and resolute, but after all, her heart is too kind, and she has never experienced this kind of thing, so she hesitated after the most. As everyone knows, this kind of thing has to be hit with one blow, and it is good to leave no trouble. Although it is a kindness to leave that girl, who knows if the girl will know what happened today when she grows up?
Alas, forget it, it's just a little girl, and she was put in the house of Zhengding Mansion again, that small mansion, presumably Mrs. will not have the opportunity to go again in the future.
When Madame puts this matter down, she will keep an eye on the opportunity and put an end to this matter.
Dealing with this matter unexpectedly, Qiu Chen felt exhausted, and when he looked at this room again, he felt uncomfortable anywhere, so he simply got up and went back to the lakeside pavilion. Chen took a few girls to boil water and cook in the small kitchen behind the water pavilion, while Qiu Chen moved a rocking chair and put it in the water pavilion with a large open door, covered with a bed blanket, looked at the water and water in a daze, and gradually fell asleep.
Sleeping in a daze, a heavy footstep stepped on the wooden plank road from far to near, Qiu Chen blinked his eyes, but did not open his eyes. If she heard correctly, this is the footsteps of the eldest brother Yang Shuyong...... Hurrying over in such a hurry, did you already know that the woman had been sent away by her and had come to Xingshi to ask for guilt?
"Begonia, why aren't you in Zhuangzi and come here?" Yang Shuyong shouted loudly and walked in from outside.
Walking into the water pavilion, Yang Shuyong saw the beautiful wool carpet laid on the wooden floor, and suddenly paused: "Ouch, when did you arrange it so well here?" I'm so muddy that I don't even dare to enter the door......"
Qiu Chen blinked, his mind turned slightly to look up, and he saw Yang Shuyong carrying a basket in his hand, the basket and his bare feet were drenched with water, and his pants that were pulled up to his knees were also stained with muddy water......
Seeing Qiu Chen poking his head out of the rocking chair and looking over, Yang Shuyong smiled innocently, scratched his hair and said, "I just got off the boat, and I heard that you came back here, I thought that you must be panicked by the car overturning, so I hurriedly sent a few fish and a few fresh lotus roots...... Hehe, I didn't bother to wash and change my clothes in time! ”
Qiu Chen looked at Yang Shuyong's simple face and the simple smile, only to feel that his heart suddenly brightened, the smile on his face expanded rapidly, and his whole face brightened up all of a sudden.
Jumped up from the rocking chair, threw the blanket on the chair casually, walked over wearing only a pair of knitted socks, and pulled Yang Shuyong's muddy clothes and pants with a smile, and said, "My sister-in-law is not here, and my eldest brother takes care of himself like this?" At this point, you are still wearing jackets, and you are not afraid of freezing? ”
"It's not cold, it's not cold!" Yang Shuyong was embarrassed to dodge back slightly, while defending, "Fishing in the lake, pretending to be lotus roots, heavy work, hard work, wearing this body is still sweating, where can I wear thick clothes...... Hehe, don't talk to your sister-in-law, she's not done nagging......"
Qiu Chen looked at Yang Shuyong's face, looked at his eldest brother who was honest and simple, his expression was calm and unpretentious, it didn't seem like he was hiding any thoughts, he secretly pondered in his heart, and simply said: "Big brother, I went over just now, and that noble sister-in-law said that he was willing to go to my ......"
"Oh?" The smile on Yang Shuyong's face disappeared and he frowned.
Qiu Chen's heart chuckled, his eyes locked on Yang Shuyong's face, and his gaze gradually condensed. She just waited, if Yang Shuyong really had something to say, she, she had a thousand words waiting for him!
Big Brother ...... Like a brother, she admits that she is really hungry and lustful, and she can't support the mud on the wall, and she doesn't need to get mud on her hands!
Yang Shuyong scratched his head, looked up at Qiu Chen with a distressed expression, sighed dejectedly, and said, "Alas, you can take it with you when you look at it......"
"What? Isn't it appropriate? Or is it useful for the eldest brother to keep her? Qiu Chen raised his chin slightly, and his tone became cold.
"Hey, what's the use of me keeping her...... Well, I'm just thinking, after all, we are from a village, if she goes to you, it is not appropriate not to sign the deed, if she signs the deed, maybe it will attract some gossip in the village, saying that we have just been rich for a few days, so it will arouse the neighbors of the village......" Yang Shuyong explained, still with a distressed face.
It's just that Qiu Chen laughed all of a sudden, walked straight over, didn't care whether there was muddy water on the basket, stepped forward to carry it for Yang Shuyong, and pulled Yang Shuyong out: "Okay, okay, I've thought about it, and I won't let anyone say anything...... The eldest brother is also tired all morning, hurry up to wash and change clothes, I will let people wash and wash the fish, you change your clothes and come back, just eat fish! ”
"Oh, alas, you!" Yang Shuyong was pushed and stumbled out of the lakeside water pavilion, looked back at his sister who was smiling like a flower, and suddenly became happy and cheerful, although he didn't know what his sister was unhappy about for a while, but his sister was happy, and he didn't want to investigate what reason.
Shaking his head helplessly, Yang Shuyong also relaxed, and turned back to wash and change clothes briskly. He has long understood that his sister's ability is now great, his sister thinks a lot, and he thinks a lot, he can't think of what his sister thinks of, and he doesn't understand some of them, so he does his best to guard this lake for his sister, and it's enough to live in peace, and he can't take care of the rest, and he doesn't care about it.
Yang Shuyong brought a bighead carp weighing eight or nine pounds, which is commonly known as fathead fish and silver carp, which has a large proportion of fish heads, which can account for more than one-third of the whole fish, and is the best to make casserole fish heads. As for the fish body and tail, Qiu Chen will not throw it away, let Chen's slices into fish fillets, add salt, rice wine, ginger juice to marinate for a while, wrap starch, egg white and fry until the surface is golden and crispy, after biting, the fish meat is white and tender, just the outside is crispy and tender inside, fresh and delicious. Eat a slice of fried fish and drink a bowl of milky white fish head soup, which is full of flavor and has a long aftertaste.
In addition to a fish, I also made a fried fish intestine with chopped pepper...... At the end of September, the lake water is close to freezing, the temperature is extremely low, the fish almost no longer eat, the fish belly and fish intestines are very clean, after taking out, there is no need to wash, only remove the fish gall bladder, you can set aside. Then heat the pan with oil, after heating, directly put in the green onion and ginger stir-fry the pot, then add the chopped pepper and fry slightly until golden brown, put in the fish intestines and stir-fry, and add a little coriander out of the pot after the most reluctance. The fried fish intestines have no fishy smell, only a strong fragrance remains, perhaps because of a little bile contaminated with a trace of bitterness, but this bitter taste is not annoying, compared with the simple fragrance, there is a different taste in it. This dish can be said to be Qiu Chen's favorite. In modern times, because most of the fish are raised, there are too many feed additives, and there are more residues in the fish intestines, Qiu Chen generally does not eat them, but the fish in this era are indeed the most natural and pure pollution-free, and there is no need to worry about the existence of any residues, nor do you have to worry about the accumulation of poisoning......
In addition, she also fried a vinegared lotus root and fried a lotus root box, but Qiu Chen only ate two bites of lotus root, the lotus root box was too sincere, and she had no extra appetite to eat.
After eating a full meal, Chen took Qingxing to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and brought hot tea up.
Qiu Chen and Yang Shuyong were contented with hot tea and drank slowly, gossiping with each other.
As he spoke, Qiu Chen still went back to Zhou's body, and said: "I went over this morning, and I saw that there was no sister-in-law here, the eldest brother is really not like this, I will go back this time, let the sister-in-law come back!" I don't have much to do over there, but it's the eldest brother's side, everyone takes care of it, and it's not a problem if you can't eat or drink! ”
Yang Shuyong looked at Qiu Chen and said with a smile: "Brother, how can he be as unbearable as you say, it's just that I've been busy fishing with lotus roots in the past few days...... Now the weather is getting colder, this morning, I got up this morning, I saw ice cubes by the lake, and the lotus root fishing person was not busy for a few days, and if it was cold, it would be easy to fall ill when I went into the water...... Fishing, even after catching these days, restaurants, big households are also a little tired, I pondered to simply stop for a few days, and wait for the winter fishing in the moon, when the time comes, the fish can be sold at a better price than now! ”
Qiu Chen still insisted: "Don't fish, don't step on lotus roots, there are still so many sheep and chickens and ducks to take care of, so it's decided, I'll let someone send my sister-in-law back when I go back." ”
After a pause, Qiu Chen said again: "Big brother, now this Nannuma Lake is also becoming more and more regular. But it's not a matter for you and your sister-in-law to keep watch like this every day, and it's too tiring to be uncomfortable and don't talk about it...... You pay attention, Qingjiang and the person named Zhang Dagui are not bad, and the old man He is good, next year you will throw off your hands and hand over the affairs in the lake to them, and the sister-in-law is also looking for a reliable person to take care of, you and the sister-in-law are worried, come and take care of it for a few days when you are busy, there is no need to guard here every day. ”
Yang Shuyong readily agreed, but he obviously didn't care much about it. Qiu Chen said that the two elder brothers were content and happy at best, and at worst, they didn't have any way to make progress, so they simply didn't say more.
Anyway, she didn't expect her two brothers to make much of a career, and now that everyone is guarding a stall, it is enough to be safe and stable.
The brother and sister chattered and gossiped for half an hour, Qiu Chen asked Chen to look at the charcoal fire in the earth dragon that was extinguished, leaving no sparks, and then packed up, locked the doors and windows of the lakeside water pavilion, and set off back to Anyang City.

I'm sorry, there is no reminder ticket in the background, and I came to add more when I saw a message in the afternoon!
