Chapter 315: IOU, Jiahe
She can be regarded as knowing who Lan Zhi's lively and laughing personality is!
Qiu Chen looked at Wu helplessly, reached out and took the box to open it, and saw a pile of neatly folded papers. Seeing such a thing, Qiu Chen couldn't help but be a little surprised, could it be that Qin Zheng had made such a special trip to invite the Wu family over just to deliver a letter? In other words, Qin Li and Qin Yong have been there!
Wu Shi leaned over to take a look, and in slight surprise, he also smiled and said, "Am I also a wild goose?" ”
Since it had been opened in front of Wu, Qiu Chen simply didn't twist it, took out the paper in the box and opened it, but when she saw the content on the paper and the red handprint at the bottom of the page, she was stunned. Wu was also unexpectedly stunned.
What Qin Zheng sent over was not a letter, let alone a love letter, but a pile of twenty or thirty deeds...... Deed of sale, title deed!
Is this the rhythm of handing over his family to her?
Qiu Chen regretted opening the box in front of the Wu family at this time, and he also had the urge to cover his forehead...... This person, even if he wants her to rest assured, there is no need to be so enthusiastic when he hands over his property...... If this is rumored, what should others think of her?
Laughing and shaking the paper in his hand, Qiu Chen put a stack of deed books into the box with some helplessness, and did not shy away from handing the box to Qingxing in front of the Wu family, and turned to look at the Wu family and smiled: "Sister Wu, do you want to try my new dim sum now?" ”
Wu Shi smiled, looking at Qiu Chen's gaze, but it was also more intimate. This kind of frank generosity is the rarest!
Both sides have enough sincerity, although the people sent by the Qin family are in charge of high positions, but they are not arrogant, and the people who come forward on the Lin family's side are still the second brother Yang Shumeng and two gentlemen, one is simple, and the other two are respectful and have something to say, and there is naturally nothing unpleasant about each other.
Nacai successfully completed without suspense, and everyone was happy. After that, Yun Yizhou and Tang Yanzhang were busy with official business, and the two families naturally became the Wu family.
On the second day of Nacai, Tang Wenyong, who had not shown up, came to the door with three glass masters.
Qiu Chen passed the word, and it was inconvenient to see the foreign man, so he asked the housekeeper Zhao Jiu to entertain him as appropriate.
As soon as these words came out, Tang Wenyong was drinking tea, and he sprayed decisively with a sip of tea.
After coughing for a while, Tang Wenyong's face turned red, pointed at Chen with the folding fan in his hand, and stumbled: "It's just her...... Now it's time to know the courtesy...... I wore men's clothes to the North...... Well, I don't know which one is in the epidemic area......"
Chen bent his knees and said respectfully: "Madame said, she was originally a woman from a Zhuang family, and no one can pick out anything about the rude etiquette, but now her words and deeds are no longer her alone, if she neglects to pay attention to it, I am afraid that it will attract gossip to our marquis!" ”
Tang Wenyong held his breath in his throat, and coughed again and again for a while, before he said stupidly: "That's it...... I'm afraid of her gossip! ”
As he spoke, he simply stopped waiting in the front hall, and walked out of the front hall with a folding fan, and while walking back, he asked Chen, who came up: "Where is your wife?" She's afraid that she won't be able to gossip, so I'll go find her! ”
"Second master......" Chen came out and shouted in a hurry.
Tang Wenyong paused, looked back at Chen and said, "She also knows the way?" ”
Chen Shi was silent, lowered his hand and said, "It's the slave and maid who are in a hurry...... It's none of Madame's business. ”
Tang Wenyong's gaze swept over Chen's body, nodded, and asked again, "Where is she?" Don't tell me any rules of etiquette, she hasn't talked about any rules! ”
After the tea, Tang Wenyong found Qiu Chen in the backyard as he wished, and then looked at the woman who was barefoot, holding her trouser legs, binding her hair and holding her skirt with both hands, and happily stepping on mountain grapes in a tall wooden barrel, her face was red and speechless.
This is the one who speaks according to the rules of etiquette? In such broad daylight, with a group of girls barefoot and legs, and two white arms were completely exposed...... Is this the etiquette of the door?
Qiu Chen was working hard to step on half a bucket of wild grapes, watching the bunches of grapes being trampled into grape juice, imagining that in the near future, these grape juices would be made into delicious wine, and his heart was extremely happy. Moreover, since she came to this place, she has always been worried about her words and deeds, so as not to be too different and cause trouble. This time, I can take the opportunity to relax by making wine, and I think that in my own backyard, there are only a few girls around me, so I am not afraid of being seen by outsiders, and I will inevitably get a little carried away.
Unexpectedly, just as she was stepping on it happily, the other two girls in the barrel panicked, and she turned around in surprise to see the initiator standing at the door of the backyard in the same stunned, with a shocked face!
A few girls with bound arms put down their sleeves and trousers in a panic, and they didn't care about the purple grape juice ruining their clothes and pants, but Qiu Chen didn't have this consciousness at all, only stared at Tang Wenyong, who shouldn't have appeared here, on his fair face, the crimson of excitement and exercise had not yet receded, but his eyebrows were raised in annoyance, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly: "Go out!" ”
Being shouted by Qiu Chen, Tang Wenyong immediately woke up from his shock, hurriedly turned his gaze away, and then turned sideways again, and while walking out, he declared in a panic: "I have something to do with you...... Not intentionally...... Ahem! ”
Chen's heart was pounding, she only knew that the lady in the backyard of Ludao took the girls to make wine - last year the wine was made by hand - she never thought that the lady would come up with a way to step on it with her feet this year, and she would go into battle in person......
Such a description fell in the eyes of the second master...... Thinking of the amazement in the eyes of the second master just now, Chen felt more and more that the leader was Sensen, and he couldn't even think about the consequences.
However, she is calmer than the godmother-in-law after all, even if it is the ability to maintain the apparent composure.
Seeing that the troublemaker turned around and avoided it, although she knew that she had made a big mistake this time, she was able to rush over, and persuaded Qiu Chen with a little nervousness: "Madam, come out first!" ”
Qiu Chen stared at the panicked figure and fled out of the backyard, only then did he try to restrain the anger in his chest and withdraw his gaze. At this time, he didn't care whether the grapes in the barrel were broken or not, so he just came out of the barrel and washed the grape juice stained on his legs and feet. Chen half-squatted down to put on shoes and socks for her, and tidied up the trouser hem skirt. Yufeng and Qingxing didn't care about their embarrassment, hurriedly cleaned their hands, and took care of Qiu Chen's arms up and down.
Qiu Chen's clothes were not stained with grape juice, but they were wrinkled and wrinkled because of the binding.
"Madam, let's go back to the room and change into dress!" Yufeng reminded in a whisper.
Qiu Chen exhaled, looked down at the crumpled dress on his body, and then looked back at a few girls who were even more embarrassed than her, and waved his hand stupidly: "Just let Mama Chen accompany me back to change my clothes, and you can go back and take care of it!" ”
The two sat down in the small flower hall, Qiu Chen let Tang Wenyong go, and then lowered his eyes and drank tea with a teacup.
"Hehe, Yang Shuren, congratulations...... Tang Wenyong seemed to have recovered from the embarrassment, and he didn't care about Qiu Chen's cold reception, so he didn't have anything to say, "Yesterday, Xiao Ke happened to be entangled in important matters, and it was a big pity that he couldn't come in person...... Hehe, Yang Shuren won't blame Xiao Ke for this, right? ”
"Tang Gongzi has a lot of affairs, and he only accepts small things, where can he dare to work Tang Gongzi in person!" Qiu Chen said very politely.
"That's good, that's good! Yang Shuren is the most accessible...... Sure enough, it won't be so stingy! Tang Wenyong touched his nose, smiled a little wryly, and continued to himself, "I came today to bring the three Liuli masters who were the prisoners of the Inner Mansion...... Ahem, although they can't burn clairvoyant glass, they are very good at firing glass cups, glass lamps, and glass aromatherapy balls......"
Qiu Chen still lowered his eyes, staring at the tea leaves floating up and down in the cup, and replied lightly: "Hmm! ”
Such a cold and alienated person made Tang Wenyong, who has always been strong-skinned, a little unbearable. He smiled wryly, and was thinking about finding another topic to talk about, but Qiu Chen still didn't move, but suddenly spoke.
"Tang Gongzi came this time, who was he ordered to do? …… Or, what Tang Gongzi represents this time is just your personal meaning? ”
"Uh, this...... Does it make any difference? Tang Wenyong was stunned for a moment, and then asked rhetorically.
Qiu Chen finally withdrew his gaze from the teacup, slowly raised his eyes to look at Tang Wenyong, looked directly at him and said, "Of course! ”
"If Tang Gongzi sent Master Liuli over this time, it was at the behest of the king, then Qiu Mou was naturally acting unconditionally as a minister for the people. But Tang Gongzi's trip is just on behalf of you personally, so doesn't Tang Gongzi think we should talk about the conditions for teaching the secret method of clairvoyance making? ”
"Well, this still has to be ......" Tang Wenyong said subconsciously, and Qiu Chen's eyes narrowed suddenly, but they suddenly got stuck, shrunk for a moment, and continued, "Didn't I say it just now, those three are the best glazed masters in the inner government, they are masters of firing imperial glazed utensils, you let them teach them to burn claireye glass, they can also teach you to burn imperial glazed utensils...... Hehe, no one suffers! ”
Qiu Chen was unmoved, still staring at Tang Wenyong and said, "Since Tang Gongzi said that it is a royal glazed utensil, what is the use of me learning it?" ”
"Uh......" Tang Wenyong is really stuck this time.
Since it is crowned with the name of the queen, the common people are not allowed to use it, let alone sell it for money...... It can't be used, it can't be sold, and even firing it privately is illegal...... Thinking about it this way, even if you learn the skill of firing the royal glaze, it is really useless.
After being stunned for a moment, Tang Wenyong looked embarrassed and red and white for a while, and said: "Then, Yang Shuren has something to ask, you might as well say it and listen to it!" ”
Qiu Chen retracted his gaze, simply put the undrunk teacup on the table, and said lightly: "I can't think of anything to ask for for the time being...... Just ask Tang Gongzi to write an IOU, and when I think of what I want, how about cashing in with the note? ”
Not how! These three words, Tang Wenyong almost blurted out.
Qiu Chen didn't give him a chance to speak, and then added: "Don't worry, I won't be unreasonable, what you ask for must be something you can afford!" ”
Tang Wenyong blocked his throat in one breath, almost choked, his face seemed to be red and white for a while, and then he finally relieved himself, stared at Qiu Chen and said, "You believe me so much?" ”
Qiu Chen raised his eyes, looked at Tang Wenyong calmly, and said, "It's just an IOU, you can pay it back." Not yet...... At most, I've just looked away, what's the big deal? It's not the first time I've looked away, I didn't think that although Tang Gongzi's personality was a little awkward, he was finally upright, cheerful and simple......"
Qiu Chen's words were not finished, he stopped abruptly before Tang Wenyong changed color, and then looked him up and down and shook his head, Gu Zi didn't say anything anymore.
However, this look of wanting to speak and stopping, but it vividly expresses a certain kind of regret and self-shame for making friends. However, the object of the careless expression is Tang Wenyong himself...... This is even more embarrassing than scolding him directly on the nose.
Tang Wenyong was stunned at first, then his face turned black, and then, after Qiu Chen withdrew his gaze and sat upright, he smiled angrily.
"Good, good, good!" Tang Wenyong said three good words in a row, and then said, "I'll give you an IOU...... Hehe, according to what you said today, I can't let you look at it anymore! Rest assured, you won't be looking away this time! ”
Qiu Chen's expression did not move, and then he ordered Chen, who was waiting at the door, to prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and then got up with Tang Wenyong, walked into the western room, and watched Tang Wenyong wave his pen. Qiu Chen took the IOU and looked at it, and pointed to the place where the IOU was settled: "Doesn't Tang Gongzi make a seal?" ”
Tang Wenyong stared at Qiu Chen for a moment, pursed his lips, and took out a small seal the size of a little finger from a purse under his shirt, but it was thick and buttery.
Qiu Chen picked it up again and looked at it carefully for a moment, but he didn't understand what kind of words were written on the seals that looked like patterns in the intricate patterns. I simply didn't look at it much, carefully folded it, put it in my sleeve pocket, and then I faintly threw it over: "I'm an ignorant woman, and it's normal to look away, so Tang Gongzi doesn't have to worry about it, I really ...... Never mind! ”
Tang Wenyong really couldn't laugh this time, grinding his teeth and almost forcing out a few words from his throat: "I have a relationship!" ”
After speaking, he didn't want to stay here for a while, Tang Wenyong walked straight without looking back.
Qiu Chen squinted his eyes and watched Tang Wenyong go out of the house, then took out the IOU from his sleeve and looked at it, folded it again and put it away, and instantly showed a happy face: "Let's go, let's go to the backyard and continue to make wine!" ”
Even though Chen has seen strong winds and waves, he can't come back to his senses at this time.
Just returned the sword light and arrow shadow bloody rain and bloody wind, how can it become a sunny day after the rain and the sun is beautiful in the blink of an eye?
Madame was so unceremonious just now, without a trace of affection, did she really not notice the identity of Tang Gongzi at all? Or, Mrs. knew the identity of Tang Gongzi, but deliberately made the mistake ......?
Seeing that Qiu Chen had walked out of the city for a long time, Chen Shi came back to his senses from his stunnedness, and he didn't care about thinking about it anymore, so he hurriedly chased after him with his skirt.
In July, the mountain grapes gradually ripened, and the Lin family purchased the mountain grapes more than a month earlier than last year, of course, only fully ripe ......
Because the news of the Lin family's purchase of mountain grapes spread, some people in the village of Liu Jiaao more than ten miles west of Liu Jiaao also used ox carts to pull mountain grapes to sell, and Qiu Chen also ordered that as long as they were not bad or rotten, they were all accepted as ripe mountain grapes.
Therefore, even if only ripe mountain grapes are harvested, the Lin family can receive two or three hundred catties a day. Qiu Chen took the girl and her mother-in-law to make wine for two days, but her legs hurt and her waist hurt and she couldn't stand it, so she simply handed over this job to Yue Gui Chunxiang, who had basically mastered the method of wine making, and took a group of little girls who were temporarily recruited from the village to do it. Of course, except for the first day, the rest of the grapes were crushed and juiced by hand and milled, and they were no longer trampled with their feet at the risk of immorality.
Qiu Chen, who doesn't make wine himself, is not idle.
Seeing that it is about to be the 15th of July, it is another important festival to worship ancestors and go to the grave in addition to Qingming. Lin Xu will also rush back to worship his ancestors and go to the grave at that time.
Qiu Chen took people to the warehouse and opened a jar of wine made last year.
Qiu Chen clenched his hands nervously, his eyes stared at the two mothers-in-law for a moment to remove the mud seal from the mouth of the altar, and secretly prayed in his heart, he must not become vinegar!
With a snap, the mud seal on the mouth of the jar was broken and fell to the ground, and a rich and fragrant aroma of wine overflowed, and Qiu Chen's heart also fell to the ground, and he stepped forward excitedly, took the grape and hung some wine juice out, poured it into a fine white porcelain bowl, shook it slightly, and the purple-black wine juice slid across the bowl wall and hung a layer of red marks!
Qiu Chen sniffed happily, waited patiently for the tea, and then slowly took a small sip and tasted it carefully. Well, the mouth is slightly sour and sweet, followed by a rich aroma of Fenfu that fills the mouthpiece and mouth...... Yes, yes, this wine is at least no worse than what she drank in her previous life.
A jar is full of twenty catties, and it can't be put away after opening the seal. Qiu Chen then beckoned a few girls to go to the warehouse and get two dozen glass bottles, put the wine in it, sealed it with cork, and sealed it with wax.
Looking at the purple-red liquid in the glass bottle, Qiu Chen's heart blossomed.
The Midyear Festival on July 15 does not need human contacts, but the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15 is a major festival, such as the Tang family, the Guo family, the Liao family, and the Yun family...... It turns out that Qiu Chen is still a little worried, and he can't always take some local products and soap as gifts, this time with these bottles of red wine, her Mid-Autumn Festival gift can be regarded as a settlement.
On the evening of July 14, Lin Xu returned to Liujiaao by car.
I first went to the east courtyard to bathe and change clothes, came to see Qiu Chen, and then went to the west courtyard to greet the old lady of the Lin family, and accompanied Mrs. Lin to eat in the west courtyard, and then turned back.
Junwen Junshu had already taken a few small ones to Erjin to read and write, Qiu Chen beckoned Lin Xu to sit down on the couch in the second room, watched Qingxing bring hot tea, and dismissed the girls, leaving only the uncle and sister-in-law, Qiu Chen spoke.
"A few days ago, the Qin family sent Lord Yun over to propose ......"
Lin Xu interrupted: "Is it the Marquis Qin family of Jingbei?" ”
Qiu Chen nodded calmly in response: "Yes." ”
Lin Xu looked at the sister-in-law in front of him, since the bad news of the eldest brother came, the sister-in-law seemed to have changed after a serious illness, although he was still very good to him, but he was no longer as weak and sad as before, with the weak shoulders of a woman, he picked up the burden of the whole family, and miraculously created a huge family business...... He went from a poor boy who couldn't afford to go to school to the second master of the Lin family with a wealthy family...... Moreover, paving the way for him all the way, so that he could pass the county examination, the government examination, and the hospital examination so smoothly, and have a reputation for showing talent......
It can be said that he can have today because of his sister-in-law. Moreover, if the sister-in-law really marries into the Hou Mansion, it will only be good for him and the Lin family......
Jingbei Marquis Qin Zheng, Lin Xu knew, and he had been in contact with him as early as when he went to northern Xinjiang, and he also knew that he was a rare good man, which had nothing to do with high-ranking officials and fame. Since he was willing to invite Master Yun to come as a matchmaker, it is enough to see that Marquis Qin's respect for his sister-in-law and the importance he attaches to this family business...... In this way, the sister-in-law marries in the past, and the Marquis of Qin should be able to treat the sister-in-law well......
It's just that after hearing the news, I still can't accept it emotionally...... After all, the eldest brother is still ...... He originally hoped that his eldest brother and sister-in-law would have a day when they would release their suspicions. Once the sister-in-law remarried, this hope was completely shattered, and it was impossible to achieve it again.
Moreover, Lin Xu was vaguely worried, if his sister-in-law married into the Hou Mansion, she would be a Qinmen woman, was that still his Lin Xu's sister-in-law?
However, the sister-in-law told him about it so openly and honestly, her expression was calm, and she didn't hide or twist it at all, and Lin Xu really couldn't say anything unblessed.
Seeing that Lin Xu hung his head and was silent, Qiu Chen didn't urge him.
Qin Zheng proposed marriage suddenly, she considered each other's feelings and future life at that time, but ignored the feelings of the children, including Lin Xu and Ah Fu......
Now, she didn't run away, she chose to tell calmly, just to make up for her previous neglect as much as possible. She asked herself, even if she got married, she would not alienate Lin Xu, let alone change her love for Afu Aman, and she also hoped that frank communication would make the children understand and believe in this.
The two were relatively silent for a moment, and Qiu Chen opened his mouth to break the silence in the room: "Well, this matter is just a preliminary discussion, you just need to know the way, you don't need to know too much." It's only a year before next year's township exam, so you just have to study with peace of mind...... Also, Junwen Junshu is going to take the township test next spring, and you have time to talk to them. You have taken the test, and you need to pay attention to what is clearer and more accurate than what others say. ”
Seeing that Qiu Chen easily put aside the topic of marriage and turned to talk about his studies as usual, Lin Xu unconsciously straightened his body, listened respectfully, and then gave up.
"You're tired after a day's ride, so go and rest early. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it tomorrow. ”
Qiu Chen sent Lin Xu away with a smile, and watched Lin Xu turn around after bowing, the smile on her face receded, revealing a contemplative expression.
On the Midyear Festival, there are holidays in workshops and schools.
After the children still participated in the morning workout and had breakfast together, Qiu Chen led Ah Fu, escorted by Qin Li and Qin Yong, and went out to the east to grave Lin Sheng.
Burning paper, bowing, Qiu Chen brought Ah Fu back.
Qin Li and Qin Yong fell behind knowingly, Qiu Chen took Ah Fu's hand and whispered gently: "Ah Fu, my mother is going to find you a father, like other children, there are fathers and mothers, okay?" ”
Ah Fu tilted his head to look at Qiu Chen, blinked his big black eyes and said, "It's Uncle Qin, right?" My sister and I are going to call Uncle Qin our father in the future? ”
The child's straightforwardness surprised Qiu Chen a little, but he was relieved when he thought of Ah Fu's sensible and precocious wisdom, so he said calmly: "It's Uncle Qin." However, in the future, whether Afu and Aman want to call Daddy or not, it is up to Afu and Aman to decide for themselves, you can call Daddy if you like, and you can always call Uncle if you don't like it......"
Ah Fu turned his gaze back and walked silently while kicking a small pebble. Qiu Chen followed him silently, without urging or explaining too much.
After a while, when he was about to walk to the school, Ah Fu raised his head, looked at Qiu Chen and said, "Mother, if Uncle Qin likes me to call me Daddy, I will call it good." ”
Qiu Chen was stunned, looking at his son who was too sensible and well-behaved in front of him, he couldn't help but have hot eye sockets and red circles.
Such a sensible child, she can't ignore him no matter what, and she won't reduce her love for him.
Squatted down and hugged Ah Fu, Qiu Chen took Ah Fu's hand and continued to walk home: "Let's go, we will put the lotus lantern tonight, let's go home for dinner, and then prepare early!" ”
The Midyear Festival, also known as the Ghost Festival, is an event to commemorate the rescue of Muren's mother. Liujiaao, a small mountain village, did not pay much attention to it, but the life of the Lin family was booming, and the life of the people in the village was also relaxed, and various festivals gradually became important.
Therefore, after dinner on this day, when the children of the Lin family came to Qingshui Creek with beautiful lotus lanterns, many children in the village also rushed over with lotus lanterns. The people in the village are having a better life, and they were reluctant to buy toys for their children, but now many people have not hesitated to buy a lotus lantern for their children with one or two copper plates.
Qiu Chen didn't follow the children to the river, she just stood at the gate of the Lin family, looked over the lotus pond, and couldn't see the children's figures and smiling faces from afar, but she could see the sparkling lights fluttering and swaying, flowing down with the stream, like a galaxy that was not abundant, not gorgeous enough, but also releasing her own starlight and brilliance.
Lin Xu's course was tight, and he originally planned to return to Anyang on July 16, but after learning that the Qin family came over on July 18 to ask for a name, he took the initiative to ask to stay. Seeing Lin Xu's gaze that was no longer dodging, Qiu Chen was very pleased.
Yun Yizhou is far away in Zhengding, and he is busy with official business, so he can't just take care of this matter. Tang Yanzhang was already upright and upright, the last time he came to the door at the first ceremony was unprecedented, and this time he didn't come to ask for his name, and the representative of the Qin family who came over with him was Tang Yanzhang's wife Wu.
It's just that Qiu Chen had just welcomed the Wu family into the door, and before the two of them could sit down, another group of guests came in front of them - Han Xi, the great eunuch in front of Emperor Jingshun, rushed over in person, but he didn't bring a will, but just gave two sheep fat jade ruyi and two red coral trees down.
Qiu Chen took Lin Xu and Ah Fu to kneel down and thank Heaven, and after receiving the gift from the Holy Lord, he casually handed over a thin purse.
Entering the fluttering purse, Han Xi's eyes flashed with a glimmer of essence, and then he smiled and arched his hand: "Yang Shuren can marry Jingbei Hou Qin and Jin, it is really a match made in heaven, our family came in a hurry and didn't have time to buy gifts, and when Qin Hou and Yang Shuren get married, our family will definitely send a congratulatory gift to congratulate Zhixi!" ”
"Mr. Han is polite, this way from the capital to the saddle horse tired, you are tired...... Since you're at home, you'll have lunch at home, right? Try our farmer's rice too? Qiu Chen smiled and greeted.
Han Xi glanced lightly at Tang Wenyong, who had been standing with a smile next to him, and agreed without hesitation: "Okay, I have long heard that the food in Yang Shu's house is delicious, so our family will be cheeky and bothered!" ”
"Hehe, a few glasses of coarse tea and light rice and thin wine, Mr. Han should not dislike it!" Qiu Chen greeted Han Xi and Tang Wenyong and handed them over to Lin Xu and Yang Shumeng, "Second brother, second brother, Manager Han and Tang Gongzi will be handed over to you to greet you, I'll go to the back kitchen to take a look!" ”
Tang Wenyong smiled, but he didn't make a sound, Qiu Chen guessed that this person was still unhappy with that day, and he didn't pay attention to it. But Han Xi waved his hand again and again: "Don't dare, don't dare to ......"
Qiu Chen only treated him politely, didn't talk again, and went to the backyard with bent knees.
Because of the gift of asking for names, the ingredients were originally prepared at home, Qiu Chen pondered that Tang Wenyong likes to eat chili peppers and fish, and specially added a chopped pepper fish head and a sharp pepper fried meat, and the wine was served on the purchased Xinghuacun and the wine that Qiu Chen had just taken out.
When the crystal glass bottle of wine was delivered, Han Xi's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Mountain wine is sweet and sour, slightly astringent, but the alcohol content is not high. Yang Shumeng didn't like it, Lin Xu looked weak and weak, but he also liked the mellowness of Xinghua Village, and he was not very interested in mountain wine, Tang Wenyong had been stationed in the north for many years, although his appearance was clean and handsome, but his temperament had already been infected by the rough and bold of the barracks, and he also liked the intensity of liquor. In addition, Pan Jiaqing also likes liquor, but Mr. Ding, like Han Xi, loves the fragrance of mountain wine.
Chunxiang and Yuegui, who were waiting in front, quickly passed on the situation at the banquet, Qiu Chen pondered for a while, took two bottles of glass bottled wine and brought them to Han Xi, and made Han Xi happier than the fluttering purse.
Qiu Chen accompanied Wu to lunch in the backyard, and Wu also loved wine.
Familiar with the Wu family, Qiu Chen directly filled two jars for her, and took four glasses: "Don't hide it from my sister, I made this wine from the wild grapes in the mountains, and I brewed several of them, so you can come and get them again after drinking." But there aren't many bottles of wine, so I won't give it to you, but I'll bring you four wine cups, and I think it's better to drink wine with this. ”
At this time, the glaze of the Ming Dynasty still belongs to the royal thing, and the recipes for firing the glaze are all controlled in the inner government as a prisoner, not to mention the common people, it is the home of the eunuchs and nobles, and the glazed things are also given by the emperor, and there are also a few, Qiu Chen is four glazed cups as soon as he makes a move, which makes the Wu family surprised, and it is inevitable that he is a little apprehensive.
"Oh, I'm not polite to you, but this glass wine cup ...... It's too expensive! Although Wu said this, his eyes were a little unmoving.
Qiu Chen smiled: "Sister, don't be polite to me...... Also, I haven't opened these two jars of wine, and I don't know if it's made into wine or vinegar. ”
Wu picked up a glass with a smile on his face and looked at it, he didn't care about the wine vinegar at all, and said again and again: "Wine and vinegar are not the same, don't worry, if it's vinegar, let people send it to the kitchen directly." ”
Sent Han Xi away, and then sent away the Wu family who took the Geng post with Qiu Chen's birthday and name written on it, Qiu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but when he turned around, he saw Tang Wenyong shaking the folding fan, and the corners of his mouth were smiling at her.
"Hey, is there anything else to do with Tang Gongzi?" Qiu Chen asked very unceremoniously directly.
After socializing for most of the day, and unexpectedly receiving the reward, Qiu Chen was so tired that people were about to collapse, and when she turned around, there was such an uninteresting person, no wonder she was not polite.
"Tsk, you forgot about this just after sending Han Xi away, today's reward is ...... I brought today's Father-in-law Han here! Why, you didn't even say thank you? Tang Wenyong confessed very unevenly.
Qiu Chen rolled his eyes very unceremoniously, bent his knees slightly at Tang Wenyong, and said, "I was negligent, and I ask Tang Gongzi to bear with me." I'm here to thank you for your hard work! ”
Tang Wenyong smiled and accepted Qiu Chen's thank you unceremoniously, and then shook the folding fan and said, "Isn't there any thank you?" ”
Qiu Chen still pressed it, and said politely: "How can it not be, it has already been prepared for Tang Gongzi, just like the angel's!" ”
Tang Wenyong waved his hand, smiled and leaned closer and said, "Although that wine is good, it doesn't suit my appetite, so don't ...... I've heard that you've planted a new kind of horse bell and a kind of corn, with a yield of more than 10 stone per mu, but is it true? ”
The expression on Qiu Chen's face remained unchanged, his eyes swept over Yang Shumeng and Lin Xu next to him, and he saw that these two people didn't know what to do at all, and they nodded happily again and again! can only sigh secretly, people in this era are far from having much sense of secrecy, whether it is Yang Shumeng or Lin Xu, I am afraid that they are all proud of having such high-yield crops, right? !
"It's true!" Since they were all shaken out by his own family, Qiu Chen had nothing to hide, and admitted it directly.
Tang Wenyong's face burst out with excitement, and he asked again: "Can you really produce ten stone of grain per mu?" ”
Qiu Chen didn't answer immediately this time, but pondered for a moment before replying, "I really can't give you a positive answer to this......
As soon as he heard this, Tang Wenyong inevitably showed a touch of disappointment, but he heard Qiu Chen say again: "Because I just got these two crops this year, and I just tried to plant them after the beginning of spring...... Because of the use of glass greenhouses, the crops were planted some time earlier than normal, and a stubble has been harvested...... The yield per mu of ten stones was estimated based on the yield at that time...... Now the stubble is basically in line with its normal farming season, and it will be harvested in another month, that is, around August 15, and it will be known how much it can yield per mu at that time. ”
After listening to Qiu Chen's detailed explanation, the disappointment that had just risen on Tang Wenyong's face had already dissipated, his face was full of joy, and he asked quite eagerly: "Can you take me to see these two crops?" ”
Everything that should be said has been said, and everything that should not be said has been said, so there is naturally nothing wrong with taking him to see it.
Qiu Chen didn't hesitate, but directly instructed Yang Shumeng and Lin Xu: "Second brother, second brother, you take Tang Gongzi to the back garden to have a look." I'm going to clean up...... After Tang Gongzi read it, if he has anything to say, just send someone to call me! ”
Tang Wenyong was anxious to see the corn and potatoes, and remembered that Qiu Chen must be tired after being busy for most of the day to greet the guests, and it was normal to go to rest, so he didn't care, nodded again and again, and went directly to the back garden with Lin Xu and Yang Shumeng.
Qiu Chen took a few girls back to the backyard and ordered to carry hot water into the ear room, and she wanted to bathe.
Soaking in the warm bathtub, she sent the mother-in-law and girls down, and she leaned against the wall of the tub and thought silently.
Throughout several dynasties in ancient China, all of them were agricultural societies, and the emperor's greatest hope was the peace of the country, and the prerequisite for the peace of the people was to let the people have enough to eat...... The people regard food as the sky, which is a problem that has plagued countless feudal emperors. It can be seen how important it is for a country and an emperor to get a new variety of crops that can make the people eat enough and no longer starve, so as to achieve national security.
Now that Emperor Jingshun is in power, he has swept away the northern border and expelled Beirong, and it can be said that since the founding of the country, no emperor has been able to do it. If you get the 'Golden Harvest' again, the merits of Emperor Inshun will be able to shine in the annals of history and be remembered for eternity!
Such an important thing was accidentally stabbed out by Yang Shumeng and Lin Xu, but Han Xi's expression was not abnormal when he left, and he should not know what to do. Then, she only needs to get Tang Wenyong done......
She didn't want to hide the corn and potatoes, but she had to think about it and find a suitable opportunity to take it out again......
Recipes for steaming alcohol, theories of brown gunpowder, prevention and treatment of plague (cholera), vaccinia inoculation to prevent smallpox...... and even how to make clairvoyance...... Voluntary or involuntary, she took out a lot of things, although the Invesco Emperor was not too stingy, and also gave corresponding rewards and rewards, but often so, once or twice others will be surprised; There are many surprises, and there is also fatigue...... Even if you are not tired, you may attract unwarranted jealousy and suspicion.
What's more, now she is not just a widow with orphans, she is about to be added to Jingbei Hou Qin Zheng as his wife.
No matter what she thinks or does, and whether she wants to care about it or not, she actually understands that if the previous series of 'credits' were only in Anyang, the marriage with Qin Zheng suddenly put her on the fire......
Her identity, her family background, and Qin Zheng are too far apart, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are only a world apart. Because of this, the outside world's suspicions and rumors about her must be indispensable......
At this time, if she comes up with any Jiahe, it will really be an old birthday star who eats arsenic and thinks it will be long!
In addition, she also had to take into account Qin Zheng's position, the one who did not hesitate to continuously hurt herself to avoid suspicion...... Now that she has agreed on a marriage with him, she is related and interdependent, even if it is not for herself, for Qin Zheng's sake, she should not take the initiative again.
Let's keep a low profile!
Tang Wenyong didn't see the reason when he went to the back garden, but he still couldn't hide his excitement.
Thinking that the yield of more than ten stones of grain per mu can make many people no longer hungry, he can't wait to fly back to the capital all of a sudden and play this great happy event......
