The three of them laughed heartily, raised their glasses and drank together, and when they were happy, suddenly a sound of footsteps rushed in outside, and before they could reach the door, they reported: "Madam, Madam, Princess Fu'an has broken in!" ”

Hearing him say this, Qiu Chen also laughed to himself. Also, there are more useful species outside, not to mention the more important cash crops, even melons, fruits and vegetables have not been introduced, Yun Jichen searched so vaguely, but she couldn't find the few she specified, and it was not bad to be able to retrieve other things.

Yun Jichen didn't care much, and smiled disapprenously: "Don't worry, I tell the ship, no matter what kind of trees and flowers, as long as we don't have them and they haven't seen them, they will collect them for you, and it's all right." Whether you want it or not, you pick and choose! ”

Yun Jichen listened carefully, and when Qiu Chen finished speaking, he still didn't quite understand what it was. After all, there is no picture at this time, and even the description is relatively vague, some modern professional words Qiu Chen can't say, and Yun Jichen can't understand when he says it, and the final result is naturally vague and confused.

Seeing Liao Wenqing like this, Qiu Chen didn't say much, and instead talked about the plans and arrangements for the new year: "...... A few days ago, I heard about several plants from the Rifan Temple, and when the fleet went out to sea, I remembered to tell the people on board to search carefully. One is that the trunk of the tree can be cut to produce sap, and the sap that flows out at the beginning is white, and after drying up, it becomes black and tough...... There is also a kind of fruit that bears fruit like beans on the branches......"

Yun Jichen, who had been silent for a while, also interjected with a smile: "Yes, you don't know our brothers yet, let's be happy, don't worry about us!" ”

Liao Wenqing didn't say anything, he raised his glass with a smile, put down the cup, and then said: "Don't worry, Yun Er and I are not harsh on ourselves, you don't have to worry about us." You just have to take care of the children, just take care of yourself. ”

"Well," Qiu Chen didn't want to hide anything, nor did he twist it, he smiled happily and admitted, and then raised his glass to Liao Wenqing and said, "I also hope that my friends and relatives are doing well and living comfortably." ”

"The complexion is excellent...... I can see you're comfortable! After a moment, Liao Wenqing raised his eyes and looked over, his eyes were calm and gentle, and he couldn't see any other feelings.

"Yes, the family is staring at me to make up for it, and they are all fat!" Qiu Chen stroked his cheeks casually, smiling brightly, lined with a faint flush of drunkenness, and his eyes were even brighter like stars, Liao Wenqing couldn't help but be stunned when he saw it, and then his heart tightened suddenly, and he lowered his eyes.

The two of them were slightly stunned, then looked at each other and smiled, Liao Wenqing continued: "I'm okay." …… Looking at your complexion now, you are indeed well recuperated. ”

"I heard that you are in distress ...... production," Liao Wenqing also spoke at the same time.

Qiu Chen was silent for a moment, then turned his eyes away and ignored him, turned to look at Liao Wenqing, raised the wine glass in his hand, and the two of them drank a glass together, Qiu Chen said with concern: "Are you good this way?" ”

"What else? My eldest brother already has three sons and two daughters, so I don't need to worry about passing on the incense! Yun Jichen drank a glass of wine and rolled his eyes casually.

Qiu Chen was slightly stunned, and said after a while: "Just to reassure the old man?" ”

Yun Jichen smiled and said in a sloppy manner: "...... My grandmother is very old, and I haven't seen her for a year, but she is very old...... That's it, her old man is worried about me, and let her old man rest assured! ”

The boss finally figured out to marry a wife and start a family, Qiu Chen was naturally happy for him, "Quietly, even the date has been set...... A woman who can make Yun Erlang tempted must be extremely rare, I don't know where it is? ”

Yun Jichen took the lead in smiling and said disapprovingly: "March 26." Prepare a generous gift! ”

Talking about laughter, Qiu Chen naturally asked about the family status of the two and the marriage of the two people...... These two people are the same age as her, she has already passed the age of standing, these two are also close to standing, but they have still not married, Qiu Chen naturally wants to say a few words when he sees it.

After three rounds of drinking, the topic of the three of them also shifted from business to what they saw and heard, on anecdotes, Qiu Chen talked about all the shapes of the capital, Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing were well-informed in the South China Sea and the North and the Earth, and took out one or two pieces at will, which made Qiu Chen envious and yearning for it.

Qiu Chen didn't look at the account book either, and motioned for Yue Gui to hold the two boxes down. Then he ordered someone to serve the meal. There are not many dishes, but they are exquisite, the three of them are around the kang table, Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing are drinking self-brewed distilled liquor, and Qiu Chen is scalding a pot of Jinhua wine. After the first little evacuation, the three of them had the illusion of returning to the past, so they naturally let go a lot, poured themselves drinks, laughed and talked, and were comfortable.

There are also several large boxes of things, which are special gifts brought by Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing, all kinds of rare things, every year.

Qiu Chen let the two of them take a sip of tea, and then asked about the situation on the road with a smile, Liao Wenqing and Yun Jichen answered one by one, and then got back to business, talking about the trading of Zhuangzi workshops they presided over, and handed over the two boxes to Qiu Chen. These two boxes are also conventional, Qiu Chen doesn't need to look at them to know that one box is the account book, and the other box is the dividends she has shared over the course of a year. At first, it was a silver ticket, and then the profit rose sharply, especially after having a fleet, and the money earned was several times more than the original, so that since last year, the silver ticket has been replaced by a gold ticket with a Chase number, and it is a gold ticket that is paid at sight.

The three of them entered the house, Qiu Chen took off his cloak, handed it to Xia Yan casually, beckoned Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing to go straight through the flower hall, entered the second room, beckoned the two people to get on the warm kang, the three of them sat around the kang table at will, and the girls quickly sent hot tea.

Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing both got up when they heard this, Liao Wenqing took the initiative to take a step back and raise the door curtain, Yun Jichen turned his eyes on Liao Wenqing's face, took a step back with a smile, and stood behind Liao Wenqing.

The smile on Qiu Chen's face froze slightly, and then he scolded with a smile: "You two, do you want me to ask someone to beat you out?" ”

Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing were both standing at the door with happy faces, seeing Qiu Chen coming to them, the two of them glanced at each other, and bowed their hands with a smile.

"You two, either you don't see one of you, or you can come together......" Qiu Chen said with a smile and disgust, while involuntarily speeding up his pace.

The little guy guarding outside the small flower hall had already reported in, and after a while, the indigo blue flower satin cotton door curtain was picked up from inside, and two tall and jade figures walked out, Yun Jichen in a crimson robe, Liao Wenqing in a blue-gray robe, and Qiu Chen who walked along the corridor showed a touch of joy.

Liao Wenqing and Yun Jichen had already been led by Zhao Jiu to the small flower hall to sit down, Qiu Chen got off the warm sedan chair outside the small flower hall, holding a hand tube, holding a warm and coaxing hand stove in his hand, wrapped in a thick and warm big wool cloak, the whole person was almost covered in a thick winter coat, only a pair of eyes, through the fluffy white fox fur, it was black and moist, revealing joy and expectation.

Qiu Chen smiled and asked for a white fox cloak embroidered with a white magnolia flower in smoky purple feather satin, took Yuegui and Xia Yan out of Mu'en Courtyard, took a warm sedan chair, and went all the way to the small flower hall in the front yard.

It didn't take long for the words to come in from the front, Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing had already arrived, and Zhao Jiu led the two inside.

Speaking and talking, Qiu Chen got up, asked for a water-blue satin lotus purple twig-lined velvet curtain wrapped around his shoulders, and slowly walked to the warm kang near the window to sit, Chun Xiang and Xia Yan came up with a cup of longan red date tea, Qiu Chen held it in his hand and drank it slowly. But his mind drifted to Xiyuan, at this time, Bing Huan's rehearsal should be over, right? The children's faces were probably full of excitement...... I thought again, in the afternoon, Ah Fu led the ice hockey team to play the first game with others in the afternoon, and it didn't matter if he won or lost, but he was afraid that the children would fall and knock ...... Ice sports, or this kind of confrontation sport, collision and confrontation between each other are essential, and the rules of the game at this time are far from perfect, collision confrontation is very barbaric, often people are injured and injured, Qiu Chen is not worried.

Qiu Chen raised his hand and pointed at the door of Yuegui's head, and said with a smile: "It's getting more and more energetic!" ”

Yue Gui also smiled: "My mouth is the stupidest, Madame knows, where will I say anything flattering, it's just big vernacular!" ”

Hanguang gloated and laughed: "Make your mouth sweet!" ”

When the New Year rewards and red envelopes are issued, the subordinates and guys often say some auspicious words to please the master or the owner, and when they are happy, they often increase the reward. That's why Qiu Chen said that.

With his eyes moving slightly, Qiu Chen smiled, "You girl has also learned to flatter." However, it's too early to say auspicious words at this time, and no matter how much you say, there is no red seal! ”

When Brother Yun was a child, Qiu Chen first arrived in the capital, he had to take care of the Zhuangzi workshop, personally take care of the children to feed, and worry about socializing to socialize, and he was worried about Qin Zheng who was out on the expedition. This time the triplets are different, because it is really dangerous before and after the birth, after breaking through, Qin Zheng and the children, up and down, there is no one who does not care about her physical conditioning, not to mention eating and drinking, and the old man Mu is staring at the adjustment every day, and she does not need to take care of the children in person, the Zhuangzi and the workshop outside have already been managed, so there is no need to worry too much, yes, after the two-month confinement, Qiu Chen is finally a little plump, and his complexion is also recuperated, his skin is delicate and fair, his eyes are dark and clear, his lips are ruddy, and his hair is shining with dark light...... The whole person's complexion is really complementary, compared to the hard work and rush in Anyang, the expression is calm and calm, and the person looks naturally young.

Qiu Chen shook his head, raised his finger and pointed to a long skirt with a waist slit on the side of a lotus-colored lake satin finely embroidered with a few loquat orioles, and a pleated floor-length skirt embroidered with lotus patterns on the bottom of the pine, green and silver silk embroidered with lotus patterns, and only a branch of green leaves and a yellow beeswax hibiscus hairpin were saved on the bun, which was elegant and beautiful. Yuegui and Hanguang waited for Qiu Chen to comb it up, Yuegui leaned over slightly to look at the image in the mirror, and said with a smile on her face: "Oh, looking at it like this, Madame is the same as when I first met, in the past few years, I haven't seen old at all!" ”

Although this girl is soft, she is still a little thoughtful!

According to the laws of the previous dynasty, people, peasants, and merchants were not allowed to take possession. Although this dynasty no longer has strict laws, clothes such as makeup and over-the-shoulder Fengluo are still not worn by ordinary people, and they are generally worn by women. What do you do when you wear this outfit to meet an old friend? Can it be showy, or is it deliberately alienated and disliked?

Changing the homely indigo clothes that he was accustomed to wearing, Qiu Chen stood in front of the closet, without movement for a long time, Yuegui reminded with a smile next to him: "Madam, this freshly made green makeup flower over-the-shoulder phoenix Luo gown is the cyan that Madame loves, with a sixteen-piece pomegranate skirt, solemn and good-looking." ”

After two lives, recalling the past, I can't help but sigh secretly, life is slow and fast, and it is inevitable to be happy and bumpy for decades, every time I recall, I always feel that the happy and relaxed time passes very quickly, and it flashes away in a trance, and there is nowhere to find it.

When it comes to Liao Wenqing and Yun Jichen, people can't help but think that in the past, the three of them were in Anyang City, and they could get together from time to time to talk about discussions. In addition to business, many times it is just casual chatting and laughing, no one cares about the difference between men and women, and no one cares about the rich and poor, laughing and scolding, drinking and listening to music, how happy and happy...... It's a pity that that time is gone and never returns. Even if she didn't marry Qin Zheng and didn't marry into the capital, since Liao Wenqing's mother Gao died, the three of them can no longer talk freely and laugh!

The day before, I received the news from Liao Wenqing and Yun Jichen, and the two of them entered Beijing on the 23rd and came to get together on the 24th. It is precisely because of the two of them that they came over, today's Xiyuan Yuanri Ice Opera rehearsal, and there is still a game in the middle of the day, Qin Zheng took Ah Fu and Brother Man Yun and Chengzi together, leaving Qiu Chen alone at home, guarding the three small ones.

After Qiu Chen finished handling the housework as usual, he took people everywhere to see the cleaning results. After walking around, he pointed out the arrangement of the tents and objects in a few places, then turned back, went to the Mu'en Courtyard to rest for a while, then washed and combed again, and looked for clothes to change the homely clothes and dresses he was wearing.

In the front yard, there are many monks chanting scriptures and praying for blessings, and the girls and mothers-in-law at home seem to be much more careful, lightening their walking steps and lowering their voices...... It seems that he is afraid that he will accidentally provoke the blame of the Buddha and the immortals.

According to Qiu Chen's opinion, instead of spending so much money to ask the monks to recite scriptures and pray for blessings, it is better to give more grain, rice and clothes to those who are bitterly cold. It's just to cater to customs and conventions, and I don't want to be a maverick to attract people's eyes.

Similarly, the 24th is still the day of chanting and praying, and the two classes of Buddhism and Taoism that have been invited for a long time arrived in the house early in the morning, and spread out in the large courtyard in the front yard, chanting scriptures and praying for blessings. When he first entered Beijing, Qiu Chen felt very strange and fresh about this scene of monks and Taoists, but Brother Yun'er was in confinement that year, and he didn't see it until the second year...... That scene can only be said to be a strange balance, just watch it, no longer fresh and curious.

Twenty-four is the day of cleaning and dusting, although all parts of the house have been cleaned, on this day it is still necessary to wipe the beam, and then sweep the corners of the house, the hidden places behind the cabinets, all the rituals.

Qin Zheng took Brother Yun to sacrifice in the Jingbei Hou Mansion, and then rushed to the ancestral hall of the Guogong Mansion to worship. After lunch, I turned back when it was close to Shen.

During the Midyear Festival, Afu Aman saw his grandfather, but he didn't recognize him, and he didn't know the news of his father's death, so he naturally went to Baishiqiao early in the morning to ask for a spiritual sacrifice.

Twenty-three is the day of the sacrificial stove, which is also the day of the sacrifice, and the ancestors are usually invited to pay tribute.

Aman also undertook the repair and cleaning of the Baishiqiao house alone, ran twice in a row, and cleaned up neatly before the twenty-third day of the festival.

Qiu Chen took Aman to continue to prepare for the New Year.

This matter came to an end for the time being, Qin Zheng went to the court every day, and then went to the yamen to order Mao, rare leisure, occasionally came back early, he would go to the lake in the back garden to point out the children's ice hockey training.

Qin Cheng said goodbye without mentioning it, Qin Zheng sat in the study outside the front for a while, and then got up and walked slowly to the backyard.

Qin Zheng couldn't see his flattery, and said lightly with a cold face: "It's good that you understand, you can learn well, and if you have the ability, you won't be afraid that there will be nowhere to do it." Haven't been home yet, have you? Go back and say goodbye to your father. ”

The world's river engineering and water conservancy is naturally extremely heavy, and it is often the transfer cost of 100,000 or hundreds of thousands of silver taels, and it is naturally related to the safety of tens of thousands of people on one side at every turn. Qin Zheng reminded Qin Cheng that if he learned river engineering and water conservancy well, he would be able to benefit one party and live for generations. When Qin Cheng heard this, what he thought of was the tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of white flowers and silver, he had long heard that those who were going to manage the river workers would make a fortune, Qin Cheng's eyes lit up immediately, his eyes looked at Qin Zheng eagerly, and he solemnly bowed his hand and gave a deep salute: "My younger brother is stupid, and he failed to understand that King Fu is working hard, and he has to be awakened by his eldest brother." The eldest brother can rest assured, the younger brother will do his errands with peace of mind and study hard...... will not disappoint King Fu and his eldest brother. ”

Qin Zheng stared at Qin Cheng, who was wearing a dark green dark bamboo leaf pattern Tianxiang Luo brocade robe, and wore a good green hosta, he couldn't help frowning, and his face turned two points colder, but he still pressed it, and said: "The Dushui Qing Officials Division is in charge of the water conservancy of the world's river engineering, which is not heavy, but it also needs someone who knows water conservancy and river engineering to be able to take the role." You have never been exposed to river engineering and water conservancy, and your eyes are at a loss, so you naturally have to learn slowly. King Fu let you be in the history of the classics, that is, let you have more contact with the regulations, excerpts, and classics of river engineering and water conservancy, and only when you understand the matter, can you take on the river work. ”

Qin Cheng arched his hand: "Yes, my brother is like this, he is content to get an errand." ”

Seeing that although Qin Cheng had a smile on his face, he was not very happy, Qin Zheng reminded: "...... Press you here, King Fu can be described as well-intentioned. ”

After coming out of the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, Qin Cheng went to the Jingbei Hou Mansion to report to Qin Zheng and thank him.

Fuwang Yang Jingfang did things neatly, but the next day, Qin Cheng received the letter and went to the Ministry of Industry to report to the Dushui Qing Officials Division, and he was placed in a position of canonical history, which belonged to the unentered stream, and managed the sorting, recording, and archiving of various affairs related to water conservancy in various places, which were all desk work, and it should be relatively easy to start.
