Chapter 103: Silly Woman

Liao Hai Liao's big shopkeeper returned, the northbound caravan of the Huichun Hall returned, but the four members of the Lin family who went north with them did not come back. After Yang Shumeng and Lin Xu discussed and disputed, Zuihou all stayed in Huairong!

Qiu Chen heard Yang Shuyong's exclamation, and ran to the door.

As Yang Shumeng and Lin Xu and his party left for longer and longer, her worries and worries also increased day by day. It's just that these days, she has to be busy building a house every day, making healing pills and buying Luo Buma, Shuanghua, and Forsythia has not stopped, she is almost out of breath every day, and Liu is here, compared to her, Liu is the person who should be most worried, she has a son and a grandson who went to the border together!

Qiu Chen ran to the door, Liao Hai had already answered Yang Shuyong's inquiry, but Qiu Chen still asked again. After listening to Liao Hai repeat it with his own ears, Qiu Chen's roaring brain finally calmed down. He grabbed a key point from Liao Hai's words, that is, the reason why Lin Xu and Yang Shumeng stayed in Huairong was because the military required them to teach steaming jishu and also supervise the production of steaming utensils!

However, Qiu Chen intuitively did not believe this reason.

Others may not think so comprehensively, but the drawings and text introductions are from her hands, the drawings are not without detail, every part, every vessel is drawn in detail, next to such a detailed drawing, she also made a detailed text description.

Not to mention skilled and excellent craftsmen, even people like Lin Xu, who have almost no foundation in craftsmanship, can see it, she doesn't believe that those skilled craftsmen will not understand!

Also, the drawings and alcohol have already been handed in, and Weishenme has to take someone to the north to see what Zhenbei general?

After a few quick turns of thought, Qiu Chen realized that there must be some reason that she didn't know. That is the real reason why Lin Xu and Yang Shumeng were stranded at the border and couldn't turn back!

Liu, Junyan and Junzhang also ran over at this time, because of nervousness and fear, Liu was panting a little, but he was still anxious to ask: "What's wrong with Mengzi and Junshu?" Why didn't they come back? Is something wrong? ”

As soon as Qiu Chen saw it, he knew that the old lady was frightened, and Liu's cough and asthma were the most taboo for nervousness, fear and intense exercise.

She reached out to hold Liu's arm, rubbed Liu's back to give her a breath, and comforted softly: "Mother, don't worry, my second brother and Junshu are fine, but the business over there has not been completed, and it will take a few days to come back......

After appeasing the Liu family and seeing that she was not so nervous and afraid, Qiu Chen said: "Mother, the shopkeeper of Liao Da ran so far at night to deliver a letter to us, why do we have to let people come in and drink saliva." You can rest assured, and you can carefully ask my second brother if their situation is. ”

After Qiu Chen's persuasion, Liu's emotions gradually calmed down, and his breathing was not so bad.

Easing his emotions, Liu's forked hands bowed slightly to Liao Hai, who was still standing at the door, and said: "The big shopkeeper came to deliver a letter to us so late, the old woman was in a hurry for a while, and I hope that the big shopkeeper will not be surprised!" ”

Liao Hai dared to accept the old man's courtesy, and hurriedly turned sideways, and at the same time returned the salute: "Don't dare, don't dare, the old lady is polite!" ”

Manchu's father and Manchu have been standing next to him, and at this time they also followed: "Let's go in and sit down and talk slowly!" Maybe Brother Xu and Shu Meng still have letters! ”

Yang Shuyong and Qiu Chen's brother and sister responded in succession, Qiu Chen helped Liu, Yang Shumeng let Liao Hai and the little guy behind him enter the door, and sat at the table in the courtyard with the two of them.

Qiu Chen also helped Liu to sit next to him, and then went into the house to make tea again. poured tea for everyone, sat down next to Liu, and took Afu Aman next to him into his arms.

At this moment, Liao Hai had already roughly explained the situation of the caravan going north, because of the presence of the Liu family, he hid the scene of the valley in distress, and only said that the road was quite smooth, but it took nearly ten more days because of the heavy rain on the road and the delay of the trip.

Liu naturally inquired about the situation of the four Yang Shumeng, and learned that the four of them were in good health, and they were not sick or injured, so they were relieved.

As he spoke, Liao Hai also instructed the little servant to move the things off the carriage.

These things include the furs that Lin Xu and Yang Shumeng bought in the eighteen-mile shop, as well as the dried fruits and dried meat from Beidi that Junshu bought for his brother and younger brother, and of course, the most important thing is a letter from Lin Xu himself.

No one cared about anything, but they all focused on the letter that Qiu Chen got in his hand.

Qiu Chen didn't let everyone wait, took the letter and tore the seal directly, took out the letter inside and read it. Lin Xu's letter is actually no different from what Liao Hai said, except for one paragraph, which said that the firecrackers carried by Qiu Chen were easy to use, which made Qiu Chen's heart jump - what danger did Lin Xu and Yang Shumeng encounter on the road, and actually let them use the life-saving object?

She subconsciously skipped this paragraph, and only picked up the words that went smoothly and read them to Liu.

Listening to Liao Hai's words, the journey went smoothly, and he also praised the three children of Junshu, Lin Xu and Chengzi, saying that although the three children went out for the first time, they adapted quickly, and they got along very well with the caravan on the road...... Liao Hai's words, coupled with Lin Xu's handwritten letter, and the things brought back by the four of them, Liu's worries and fears gradually dissipated, although he was still worried, but there was not too much fear and panic.

Seeing that Liu's face was a little not very good after a period of emotional ups and downs, Qiu Chen persuaded Liu to go back to the house. took the medicine and gave it to the old man, and let Liu go to the kang. Then he hugged Afu Aman on the kang, let the two little ones sleep with their grandmother, and watched the old and the two young lie down, Qiu Chen turned around and walked out of the house.

Outside the house, Junyan Junzhang was also driven back to the house by Yang Shuyong to sleep, and the two of them heard the news and returned home with peace of mind. Only Yang Shuyong sat in the courtyard with Liao Hai, and Liao Hai's servant also followed.

Qiu Chen returned to the table, did not continue to greet in vain, and said directly: "Shopkeeper Liao, at this time, if you have anything unfinished, please say it." I read that the second brother's letter mentions firecrackers......"

Hearing this, Liao Hai no longer maintained a relaxed and pleasant smile on his face, and said with a solemn expression: "There is really nothing to hide from Mrs. Lin......

Immediately, Liao Hai told Qiu Chen and Yang Shuyong about the distress when passing through the Yanyun Mountain Range, although Liao Hai did not describe the thrilling and bloody situation at that time in detail, and only four or five sentences, but in Qiu Chen and Yang Shuyong's ears, they still felt thrilling and chilled!

Qiu Chen was also afraid for a while, if she hadn't made a desperate attempt to make brown explosives and make powerful firecrackers, she didn't dare to imagine that this trip to the north would become a dead end for those four people? She didn't dare to imagine that if something like that really happened, would she be able to survive it, and would she be knocked down by self-blame and remorse? She didn't dare to think that if something like that really happened, what face would she have to face the Yang family, Yang Shumeng's wife and son, the Liu family, and Afu Aman......

Subsequently, Qiu Chen asked some more questions, such as Junshu injured his arm, but when the caravan returned, Junshu's injuries had improved, and the wounds had begun to heal, and he had not hurt his muscles and bones; Even Hong Zhanpeng led the team to answer and kept taking Lin Xu by his side and other subtle plots.

Originally, Qiu Chen intuitively thought that there was another reason for Lin Xu and the four of them to be detained, but with Liao Hai's little bit of narration, it gradually became clear in Qiu Chen's mind.

At best, the steamed wine jishu can only assist in the treatment of the soldiers' external injuries, reduce the infection caused by the trauma, and thus reduce the infection rate and mortality rate of the wounded, these, coupled with the detail of the materials she prepared, should definitely not be the reason for Lin Xu and the four of them to be stranded. Then, the reason for letting the military leave the four of them at the border pass and semi-forcibly take them deep into the steppe to meet them in front of the army is clear. That's the mysterious weapon that suddenly appears in the valley distress!

I asked for details, and the night was late. Liao Hai took the little guy and left.

After sending the two people out, Qiu Chen followed Yang Shuyong back, and when he walked to the courtyard, Qiu Chen suddenly spoke, breaking the silence: "Big brother, I'm going to the north!" ”

"Huh?" Yang Shuyong was taken aback by his sister's sudden words, and let out an exclamation without thinking!

"Shhhh......h

"Sister, that's not going to the county seat, the capital city, that's the north, didn't you listen to what Liao Da said just now, such a dangerous place, you are a woman's family, how to go? No way! As soon as Yang Shuyong saw Qiu Chen withdraw, he was so anxious that he lowered his voice and refused categorically before Qiu Chen got closer, and when it was over, he said again, "If you want to go, I will go, no matter what you say, I can't let you go!" ”

Looking at the tiredness on his face after a tiring day, and the addition of the eldest brother with an eager face at this time, Qiu Chen felt guilty and moved in his heart.

She sighed softly, stepped forward to hold her eldest brother's arm, pulled Yang Shuyong out of the gate, stepped on the wooden trestle bridge that had been built in the lotus pond, and walked to the small pier at the very end, sat down on the spot, and also pulled Yang Shuyong to sit down next to her.

Relaxing his body and leaning on Yang Shuyong's shoulder, Qiu Chen raised his head and looked up at the night sky. Just after the fifteenth year, the moon has not lacked much, like an oval silver plate hanging above the low-hanging night, silently sprinkling a piece of moonlight, so that the earth, mountains, villages, and trees in the night seem to be covered with a layer of foggy and veil-like clear light, hazy, shadowy, revealing mystery and another beauty completely different from the day!

After being silent for a moment, Qiu Chen said leisurely: "Big brother, the reason why the second brother and Brother Xu were left there this time is not because of the equipment for steaming wine, nor because of the operation of steaming wine. ”

Speaking of this, Qiu Chen sat up straight, turned his gaze, and calmly stared at Yang Shuyong and said, "If I guessed correctly, the reason why those people want to leave them behind is because of the life-saving firecrackers I brought to them before they left. Those things save lives, but they kill even more......"

That kind of sharp weapon, let the military get the news, how can it not rush to it, how can it not be fast!

Inexplicably, she suddenly remembered the secrets of martial arts and peerless treasures described in countless martial arts novels...... Once the news is revealed, it will set off countless bloody storms......

In addition, as recorded in countless historical books and wild histories, the emperor's mental tricks have the same meaning for all factors that may affect the royal rule - cut the grass and eradicate the roots! Extinction!

It was a summer night that wasn't cold at all, but Qiu Chen suddenly felt a chill rushing up from the bottom of her backbone, which made her shiver!

At this moment, she felt for the first time, a heavy fear that came out of her bones and heart! I also felt a deep sense of remorse.

She shouldn't be arrogant about what high branches to climb, what credits to receive, and she shouldn't let Yang Shumeng, Lin Xu, Junshu and Chengzi offer any steaming wine recipes......

Hearing what his sister said, although Yang Shuyong knew the reason why Yang Shumeng and Lin Xu were stranded at the border, he still didn't understand it. After all, he was just the most simple peasant, and although he had driven the carriage for more than ten years, he was illiterate, did not have much knowledge, and had never been exposed to these intrigues and political ...... He couldn't figure it out, weishenme's sister said that it was because those firecrackers that exploded more loudly were the reason why the four people were left behind, and he couldn't understand that when weishenme mentioned those firecrackers, his sister's frightened face changed!

No matter how powerful those firecrackers are, no matter how loud they are, they are just some firecrackers, and some of them are sold in the market for the New Year!

Trying to restrain the fear and panic in his heart, Qiu Chen stabilized his emotions and said to Yang Shuyong: "Big brother, our west courtyard won't be flipped first. Tomorrow I will go to the county seat, find Liao Da shopkeeper and ask about the situation, if I can, I will go to the dart bureau to hire a few dart masters to escort the guards, and then I will set off ......"

Speaking of this, seeing that Yang Shuyong was about to speak, Qiu Chen raised his hand to stop him and continued: "Of course, I can't let my mother know about my trip to the north, and I don't need to tell the children. Just say...... Let's just say that I went to Fucheng to buy materials to open a new workshop. Well, because there are many things, I may have to live in Fucheng for ten days and half a month, if I don't come back by then, I will also arrange for Huichun Hall to send a letter back, so that our mother can rest assured. ”

"Sister, it's such a long way, and it's not so smooth, how can I let you go......" Yang Shuyong still wanted to dispel his sister's decision.

Qiu Chen didn't let him finish, looked at him fixedly and said, "Big brother, only I know the recipe for making that kind of firecracker." Yes, only if I go, can I bring back the second brother and Brother Xu's Junshu...... Big brother, don't worry, I won't bring any luggage and goods with me this time, even if there are mountain bandits, there is no goods and money, and those people will not have any intention of robbing! ”

As he spoke, a cold light flashed in Qiu Chen's eyes. The brown explosives were poked out and noticed by the military, and the rest ...... It's not a big deal. Let those people know that their value is not just a 'small firecracker', maybe they can protect themselves and their families!

After coming to Liu Jiaao for so many days, Yang Shuyong has long known that the little sister who was cared for and spoiled by their two elder brothers back then is no longer the honest and simple girl she was at the beginning, and now her sister is capable and more decisive, and once she makes a decision, she will not allow others to change.

Since my sister has said so, and even how to travel has been arranged, she has obviously made up her mind, and he can't persuade her.

So, Yang Shuyong changed his way again: "Then, I'll accompany you to ......"

"Big brother!" Qiu Chen once again categorically intercepted the eldest brother's words, and then said softly, "Big brother, we are three brothers and sisters, and the second brother was originally left in the Northland, if you follow me again and let my mother know, how can you stand it?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Yang Shuyong couldn't find the words to refute them.

Father and mother have worked hard all their lives to bring up the three of their brothers and sisters, and now that the two old people are old, what they hope for is nothing more than a rich and peaceful life for the brothers and sisters. The second brother and sister went out, and he could still fight an ambush at home, coax and persuade some, if they all went...... In case my father and mother are suspicious, there is really no one who can persuade and persuade.

Seeing Yang Shuyong hanging his head in a dejected manner, Qiu Chen knew that he had listened to his words, so he said again: "Big brother, don't worry!" You should know my temperament, although sometimes very bold, but when it comes to safety, I am the most cautious and cautious. This time, I don't have anything else to do, just find the second brother and bring them back, as long as I am careful on the road, there will be no big problem. Besides, there is such a big mess at home, and the project on the east side of the courtyard has not yet been completed, so the next step is to install doors and windows, powder walls, and lay the ground inside and outside the house...... There are things you want to worry about, if you go with them, will this mess be left behind? ”

Seeing that Yang Shuyong was silent, it was equivalent to acquiescing in her decision, so Qiu Chen began to explain the family affairs one by one: "After I left, Lan Ying was lined up for buying vegetables and cooking, after more than half a month of familiarity, Lan Ying also became familiar with it, and after the project was completed, only our family and a few helpers were left to eat, and it was much simpler." Junwen is familiar with the matter of receiving and making medicine, so he let him take charge of it. For the rest, there are human contacts, and there should be big and small affairs at home, and if you take care of it, I won't have anything to worry about. ”

Yang Shuyong was always silent, and after a long while, he nodded heavily.

The brother and sister both slept late, but the next day, they both got up early in the morning.

Qiu Chen got up, washed up, made breakfast, and went to the east courtyard from the door connecting the two courtyards.

The east courtyard is a two-in-four courtyard structure, with an independent gate, the entrance hall, the inverted east wing is complete, and the surrounding houses are repaired with the eaves corridor connection, now, the basic works of the house have been built, just wait for the house to install doors and windows, the eaves corridor repairs the railing, the interior and exterior painting is completed, and then dry for ten days and a half months, the customized furniture, curtains, curtains and the like are transported back, arranged, and you can move in.

Qiu Chen walked along the eaves corridor one by one, and then walked out silently.

Back in the West Courtyard, breakfast was ready. Liu, Yang Shuyong and the children also got up.

Qiu Chen greeted everyone with a bright smile on his face, Zhang Luo had breakfast, and Qiu Chen said to Liu: "Mother, I am going to the county today, first, I have some business matters to deal with, and second, I want to see how our customized furniture is done." ”

Liu Shi raised his eyes and looked at her, and nodded with a non-remarkable face, "Cheng, let your eldest brother drive you to the car." ”

Qiu Chen took Liu's arm and said with a smile: "Mother, there is still such a big mess at home, the eldest brother is gone, who will take care of it?" Don't say it, you can't be old, no matter how tired you are, my brothers and sisters-in-law can't spare me! …… Don't worry, I'll let Erkui drive with me, and I'll come back early after finishing my errands there! ”

Ah Fu Aman and Jun Yan Junzhang heard Qiu Chen say that they were going out, and they all looked at her with blank eyes.

Qiu Chen smiled and gave each of the four children a brainstorm, and said, "You all go to school, can't you follow...... Don't worry, I'll come back to buy you Hu's meat and Lao Shengkui's dim sum! ”

When the four children heard this, they also knew that there was no hope, so they reluctantly pouted and agreed, picked up their school bags, and said goodbye to the adults to go to school.

As soon as he said go, Qiu Chen went into the house to clean up, changed into a set of light moonlight cocoon silk dresses when he went out, asked Erkui to set up the car, and instructed Lan Ying and Junwen a few words, and then went out and got in the car.

Leaving Liujiaao, Qiu Chen instructed Erkui: "Go to the Huichun Hall in the town first!" ”

Erkui hurriedly responded, driving the horses to try to keep the carriage on the ground as steadily as possible. When he went out today, Qiu Chen used the batch of yellow horses, although this horse was not as beautiful as the Rouge Divine Horse, but the foot strength was good, and it was only three quarters of an hour to Qingshui Town.

The carriage stopped at the door of the Rejuvenation Hall, the Rejuvenation Hall had just unloaded the door panel, and the two young men were cleaning and tidying up inside and outside the store, and when they saw the carriage of the Lin family, they hurriedly put down the work in their hands and greeted them with a smile.

Qiu Chen got out of the car with a smile, greeted the two young men, and asked, "Hasn't Shopkeeper Chen arrived yet?" ”

Yin Chen smiled and said, "I just came, I was talking to Mr. Zhao inside!" ”

Qiu Chen turned around and took out two pairs of cotton socks from the car and handed them to the two guys: "This is something that a sister-in-law from there figured out, which is more comfortable than cloth socks!" ”

Yin Chen and Chai Hu were not polite, they took it happily, bowed and thanked him, and took Qiu Chen into the door.

"As soon as I saw these two boys being so diligent, I knew that it must be Mrs. Lin who was coming!" Shopkeeper Chen greeted him with a smile, and Mr. Zhao and Jiang were following him.

Qiu Chen smiled and exchanged a few words with the three of them, and then said bluntly: "Shopkeeper Chen, I came here today to ask you for help......

"Lin Niangzi's words are out of sight, as long as my old Chen can do it, Lin Niangzi, you can just tell me!"

"Well, I'm welcome. I came here today to ask Shopkeeper Chen to help me with the contrast, where to buy two people...... Girls and daughters-in-law are all successful, as long as the person is good. ”

Shopkeeper Chen and Mr. Zhao glanced at each other, both of them had a smile in their eyes, and then Shopkeeper Chen said: "This thing of buying people, we really don't have much in the town, if Lin Niangzi wants to buy training haode, or go to the county, there are people who specialize in this, and there are more than ten to twenty or thirty children in the hands of those who have grown up...... If you buy it in the town, I'm afraid it's not so cheap, and it's not easy to find a femdom. ”

Qiu Chen was stunned for a moment before nodding and saying, "So that's the case...... Nacheng, I'm just going to go to the county seat, so I'll go directly to the county seat to buy it! Oh, does Shopkeeper Chen have someone he knows to recommend one to me? ”

Shopkeeper Chen sighed a little and said, "There is a person who often does business in Liaofu...... If Mrs. Lin hasn't bought anyone, I think it's better to find a young owner and ask him to arrange someone for you...... Well, the young owner has been in the county seat these days...... Well, after all, it's someone who wants to take it home, and there are a lot of doorways here, so it's always haode to be careful. ”

Qiu Chen nodded, said a few words to the three of them, then said goodbye, got into the car, and went straight to the county seat.

It was the end of the hour when they set off from Liujiaao, and they didn't delay long in Qingshui Town, so when they hurried all the way to Anping County, it was only in the middle of the hour.

Qiu Chen didn't say a word, so he instructed Erkui to drive to the Huichun Hall in the county seat, the shopkeeper here is surnamed Liu, although he is not as familiar with the shopkeeper as Chen, but he has also met a few times, and he also knows the relationship between the Lin family and the Liao family.

As soon as he heard that Qiu Chen was looking for Liao Wenqing, Shopkeeper Liu immediately sent the little guy to pass the word, and beckoned the guy to serve tea.

Qiu Chen stopped him and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, I still have to buy some things, take advantage of this time to go out, if the young owner arrives, you can ask him to wait for me for a while, and I will come back soon." ”

Shopkeeper Liu hurriedly agreed, and sent Qiu Chen out again with a smile on his face - this is very likely to be the third young grandmother in the mansion in the future, and looking at the current situation, most of the business of the Rejuvenation Hall will fall into the hands of the third young master in the future. Even if there is no business of the Liao family, with this means of turning stones into gold, maybe the entire Liao family will have to rely on others to live in the future, how can he not be diligent and careful!

Qiu Chen came out of the Rejuvenation Hall and did not go far, on the same street, he bought a pair of cowhide saddles and fine iron pedals in a carriage and horse shop, and went to the grocery store to buy two cowhide water bags, two pairs of thin-soled fast boots with the smallest size, two black short men's clothes in muslin, and two headscarves in black muslin...... There were several things bought, but Qiu Chen didn't bargain, they all asked and paid directly, but it didn't take much time, but after two quarters of an hour, she returned to the Rejuvenation Hall again. Before entering the door, as soon as he got out of the car and saw frankincense and myrrh waiting at the door, Qiu Chen knew that Liao Wenqing had arrived.

Sure enough, as soon as he saw Qiu Chen get out of the car, Frankincense immediately turned around and hurriedly entered the door to report, and Myrrh greeted him with a smile: "Madam, the third young master of my family has arrived and is waiting for you inside!" ”

Qiu Chen nodded, and his steps kept stepping into the Rejuvenation Hall, and Liao Wenqing had already come out of the backyard.

"Young Owner ......"

"I'm hurrying into the city today, but what's the matter?" Liao Wenqing looked at the obvious haggard on Qiu Chen's face, and couldn't help but ask worriedly.

"Yes," Qiu Chen agreed but didn't say any more, Liao Wenqing immediately understood, turned around and led her into the backyard, the county town's Rejuvenation Hall is much larger than Qingshui Town, there is a small courtyard for the owner to come and live, Liao Wenqing led Qiu Chen into this small courtyard.

There was no one around, and without waiting to enter the house, Qiu Chen said directly: "Presumably, my family is stranded at the border, and the shopkeeper Liao has already told you, right?" ”

Liao Wenqing nodded, and said with a look of shame: "We have just established a relationship with the border army, and we are not familiar with it, and besides, this time the matter was personally arranged by General Hong, and Uncle Hai is really speechless...... He wanted to rush back and talk to his family, and save his family worries. ”

Qiu Chen smiled and shook his head: "I don't mean to blame Liao Hai's shopkeeper, in that case, he can't stay there." The business of the Rejuvenation Hall has to be done, and the people in the dart bureau can't afford to spend ......."

Speaking of this, seeing Liao Wenqing open his mouth to speak, Qiu Chen raised his hand to stop him and continued: "I came here today to let you do me two favors. ”

Liao Wenqing immediately perked up, "You say!" ”

"One, I want to buy two girls who are good at being diligent. I don't want to be good-looking, and I don't want those who are delicate and soft, as long as they are sensible, obedient and kind-hearted, there are no girls, and daughters-in-law can be made. Two, I want you to take me to the Zhenbei Dart Bureau......"

This time, without waiting for Qiu Chen to stop him, Liao Wenqing exclaimed, "What are you doing in the dart bureau...... Are you going to the border? No way! ……”

Qiu Chen, who had just sat down, didn't wait for him to finish speaking, he suddenly stood up and said with a cold face: "If you don't want to help, just say it, I'll go by myself." Although I haven't been in contact with the people in the dart game, I don't know the rules, but I can be regarded as recognizing the head of Li Zhenbei's dart, and I think about it, that is also a bold man, and he will not worry about any rules with a woman in a mountain village like me. ”

Before he could finish speaking, he turned around and walked out.

"Oh, don't you go...... Don't go! Liao Wenqing shouted Qiu Chen's footsteps didn't even pause, in a hurry, he forgot what etiquette was, and subconsciously reached out and grabbed Qiu Chen's arm, "Don't worry, I, I'm not not not going to help......"

Qiu Chen let him hold his arm, and did not struggle, only raised his face, his eyes were clear and calm like two autumn springs, and he looked at Liao Wenqing fixedly: "Then you can accompany me to the dart game!" I have to rush back to Liujiaao today, I was delayed, I came back late, my mother should be worried! ”

"Since you know that the old man is worried, why do you still have to go to the border pass, is it the place where you should go as a woman? ......" Liao Wenqing was angry and anxious, but before he finished his questioning, as soon as Qiu Chen turned around, his arm broke free from his grasp, turned around and left, this time he didn't say a word.

"Hey, you...... I can't go with you! Liao Wenqing took a step forward and grabbed Qiu Chen's arm again.

This time, Qiu Chen stopped, looked up at Liao Wenqing, as if to confirm whether his words were true, and then, his gaze moved down, and he saw a pair of slender hands held on his arms. His eyes fell on his hand, Liao Wenqing seemed to be caught by fire, he let go of his hand in a panic, and quickly put that hand behind his back, forcing his expression to be calm and calm, but he didn't know that his white cheeks had already burned red.

Seeing that Liao Wenqing took the initiative to go out very cooperatively this time, Qiu Chen naturally followed, but in a blink of an eye, she was surprised to see Liao Wenqing's vaguely exposed neck outside the collar, I don't know when it turned red, look closely, obediently! Even the earlobes and cheeks are red......

Is this, is it just because I accidentally shook my arm just now?

If it weren't for the fact that he was really in a bad mood at this time, Qiu Chen would probably be able to burst out laughing on the spot!

Out of the small cross courtyard, Liao Wenqing called frankincense and said in a low voice: "Lin Niangzi wants to buy two girls, she must be kind and diligent and don't make trouble, well, you don't have to look too outstanding......"

Somehow, when it came to the latter sentence, Liao Wenqing's heart jumped suddenly, and his face, which had just recovered a little, was dyed a little crimson again.

Frankincense peeked at her master, then lowered her eyelids, and said respectfully: "Young master, although the girls in Renyazi's hands have been trained, but after all, they haven't been used, I'm afraid they can't be so wishy-washy." If you want to be proper, it's better to pick two who know the bottom of the matter from our courtyard...... Well, if the young master thinks more safely, he simply picks two households and gives them to Mrs. Lin. The girl can go into the house to wait, the mother-in-law does some rough work, cleaning, washing, and the man puts it on the door to be a porter, and can also arrange to feed the horses and drive the car, if there is a child, give a few young masters a companion...... It's all cheap! ”

Liao Wenqing nodded after a slight hesitation, but still instructed: "You can do this immediately." Be sure to pick haode, but also ask to understand, don't have too much to do with the house! ”

"Yes, young master, the little one will take care of it!" Frankincense replied, Liao Wenqing waved his hand and sent him away.

Only then did he turn around and return to Qiu Chen's side: "I have already sent frankincense to buy people...... Alas, let's go, I'll take you to the dart game! ”

After saying the previous sentence, Liao Wenqing stared at Qiu Chen for another moment, but saw that her expression was calm and calm, knowing that she couldn't be persuaded to turn around, and she couldn't dispel her Jihua, so she had to take the lead and walk out helplessly.

With Liao Wenqing personally coming forward, although Li Zhenbei, the dart head of the Zhenbei Dart Bureau, had just returned, he still agreed to come down and make this dart. In view of the fact that Qiu Chen was the only one to guard, Li Zhenbei discussed with Qiu Chen, and he personally led the team, and then selected ten of the most skilled dart divisions to form a team to escort. Qiu Chen agreed without objection.

The two discussed, Qiu Chen meant that he couldn't leave early the next morning, but Li Zhenbei said with a wry smile: "Lin Niangzi, I know you are worried about Second Brother Yang and Brother Xu, but I just returned yesterday, and Ming'er will be on the road again, although I can also persevere, but after all, my physical strength is not enough...... In addition, since I am traveling, I also have to make some preparations, and some things need to be replenished......"

Last night, when Liao Hai talked about the danger in the valley, he also explained to Qiu Chen the weapon of the Zhenbei Dart Bureau, the crossbow box, and as soon as he heard Li Zhenbei's words, Qiu Chen knew what Li Zhenbei meant.

"Li Darttou, I didn't want to ride a car this time, but a horse, you should consider it when you prepare, it is best to carry the items on horseback!"

As soon as Qiu Chen's words came out, not only Liao Wenqing was shocked, but even Li Zhenbei showed a look of astonishment.

"Sea ...... If you want to go to the border pass, there are Li Darttou and their guards, so there will be no mistakes...... But it's a thousand miles away to go to the border of the Northland, how can you ride a horse? Liao Wenqing was in a hurry, and he was a little forgetful, and asked eagerly, feeling angry and regretful.

Li Zhenbei sat aside, and before he could hide the surprise on his face because of Lin Niangzi's astonishing words, he saw that the third prince of Liao, who had always been uninhibited and moody, had forgotten where he was in a hurry, and questioned the Lin family lady in front of him...... Well, it seems that the rumor that Liao San wants to marry this Lin family lady and enter the door to be the first third grandmother is true!

looked at Lin Niangzi in a blink of an eye, but she was indifferent, calm and calm, and in the face of Liao Sangongzi's questioning, she didn't seem to care, and she didn't even blush.

"Young Owner......" Qiu Chen slowly raised his eyes to look at Liao Wenqing, and with only a faint sound, he successfully made Liao Wenqing extinguish the fire.

Annoyed and dejected, he fell silent, hung his head and sat back in his seat, silent again.

Qiu Chen didn't pay attention to his reaction at all, and only turned his eyes to look at Li Zhenbei: "Li Darthead, this time it was only because of the situation, and thinking that Li Darthead had just returned, and he was more clear about the situation at the border pass. Please also ask Li Darttou to confirm, if it is as soon as possible, when can he leave? ”

Saying that, Qiu Chen got up and deeply blessed Li Zhenbei.

Li Zhenbei also hurriedly got up and returned the salute, and said with a smile: "Lin Niangzi is really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows go." That's it, since Lin Niangzi is worried about her relatives, Li will also make an exception. I'll prepare tomorrow, and early the day after tomorrow, we'll meet in Qingshui Town, how about it? ”

"Good!" Qiu Chen saluted Li Zhenbei again and said, "Then please Li Dart!" ”

As he spoke, Qiu Chen took out a silver ticket of two hundred taels from his cuffs, took it with both hands and handed it to Li Zhenbei: "I'm a woman, I don't know anything." This trip to the north, not to mention the hard work all the way, and hurried on the road, can not let the dart masters rest and recuperate, this little bit of silver will ask Li Dart to help me distribute to the accompanying dart masters, even if it is a little thank you from me. As for the dart silver, after we have successfully reversed, we will settle it separately! ”

Li Zhenbei secretly put up a big thumbs up, and said with a smile on his face: "Mrs. Lin is too polite." Since it was Lin Niangzi's heart, Li thanked and accepted it for the brothers. As for the dart silver, I will not mention it again. This trip, only Lin Niangzi needs to be guarded, and these silver taels are enough! ”

Qiu Chen smiled without twisting, and said generously: "One yard is one yard, Li Darttou don't be polite to me." Then I'll say goodbye and go back and prepare to prepare, early the day after tomorrow, Qingshui Town zaijian! ”

Coming out of the Zhenbei Dart Bureau, Qiu Chen's mood was obviously much better.

Although she decided to go to the border of the Northland, after all, she was not familiar with the traffic path of this era, there was no detailed traffic map here, there were no road signs on the road, and there was no universal GPS navigator. It's not like sending snacks to the sloppy mouth!

Now, with Li Zhenbei and the escort of ten dart masters, she doesn't have to worry about the path and safety. Along the way, she just needs to adjust her physical fitness and keep her head clear in case of a crisis...... She's not afraid! As long as it is not surrounded by a large army...... I don't know who is afraid of whom!

And Liao Wenqing, who walked out of the Zhenbei Dart Bureau, kept silent with a calm face. The figure in front of him seemed to be a little lighter, even if he was angry, even if he was distressed?

Just like she called him - Shao Dongjia! He and her are now only business partners, she is worried about her relatives, and there is no one to delegate to her, but a delicate and frail woman has to go to the border in person...... What can he do? What about him?

There was a huge pain in his heart, so painful that he could hardly breathe, and he only felt that his chest was so tight that he couldn't breathe......

In her mind, she only called indifferently: Shao Dongjia!

The throat is tumbling and I can't speak, and I can't suppress the self-question! Kick oneself!

Suddenly, in that pain, there seemed to be some light flashing, Liao Wenqing's heart was overjoyed, and his mind suddenly became clear! yes, how did he become so stupid!

A happy smile floated up from Liao Wenqing's eyes, and gradually overflowed, making his face that had just been cold gradually ease, and he brought a smile again. It's just that if you are familiar with it, you must be able to find that today, the smile on Liao Sangongzi's face seems to be extraordinarily sincere, as if his heart is full of joy and finally overflows!

Taking a step forward, side by side with Qiu Chen, who was light-footed and much more relaxed, Liao Wenqing smiled and said, "But it's as you wanted?" ”

Qiu Chen turned his face sideways, looked at the person who was still very angry just now, and raised his eyebrows in surprise, but still nodded unceremoniously: "Hmm! With Li Darttou's escort, I'm not afraid of finding my way! ”

"You...... Burst! Liao Wenqing really didn't expect to get such an answer, and in surprise, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, laughed for a while, and then said, "It's done, I can also see it, as long as you make up your mind to pay attention, don't think about letting you change your attention." ”

"Well, with the intelligence of the third prince of Liao...... You can only see it today? Qiu Chen's face sneered indifferently, and then he changed the topic again and said with a smile, "Thanks to you today, I can make Li Daotou agree to go north again so happily." Go, I invite you to dinner and thank you! ”

I don't know if it's because of the relaxation, Qiu Chen actually ignored the stereotypes and customs of the place where he was located, and naturally invited with a smile.

What Liao Wenqing wanted to say was robbed by Qiu Chen, he didn't care, smiled slightly, and happily agreed. Anyway, all he wanted was to be able to stay a little longer.

Qiu Chen smiled and retracted his gaze, swept his gaze to the street, pointed to a wonton picker at the corner of the street a few steps away, and said, "Just there, I've eaten their wontons, the thin skin and filling are fresh, and the soup is fresh, it's really delicious!" ”

After speaking, he ignored Liao Wenqing, who was stunned behind him, and walked briskly to the wonton stall, and said to the old man who was busy cooking wontons with a smile: "Uncle, come here for two bowls of wontons." ”

"Oh, okay! Please wait...... Just talk! The old man who sold wontons happily agreed, without raising his head, with a fence in one hand and a large bowl in the other, the fence poked into the pot, and immediately and accurately scooped up eight wontons, added soup and ingredients, and handed them to the two men in simple clothes next to him.

Qiu Chen took two soup spoons, went to the old man's wonton picker and asked for half a bowl of hot soup, and put the soup spoon into the hot soup and scalded it.

In a moment, two large bowls of wontons were served, Qiu Chen took a soup spoon and scooped a spoonful of soup, drank it in his mouth, and praised with a smile: "Uncle, your wonton soup is fresher today!" It's freshly stewed chicken soup, right? ”

The old man who sold wontons immediately laughed and said, "What this lady said is that she stewed all night last night......"

After talking to the stall owner, Qiu Chen turned his head to see that Liao Wenqing finally walked over with a stiff face and sat opposite her, but he just withdrew and stared at the wonton bowl on the table, and he didn't mean to eat.

Qiu Chen didn't pay attention to him, and raised his hand to greet the myrrh who was not far away: "Your son-in-law doesn't eat this, you come and try it, don't look at the uncle's stall, this wonton is made authentically, fresh!" ”

Myrrh promised with a bitter face, but he didn't dare to come forward. He didn't have any eyes, and he didn't dare to compete with his son-in-law for a job!

However, if you don't go over, will you offend this future mistress? The woman is careful, but she is the most resentful!

Seeing him like this, Qiu Chen sneered and laughed. Fortunately, while laughing, she also remembered where she was, and hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, but not because she was shy, but because there was a common dining table in front of her.

"Alright, don't act like that. Well, since you don't like to eat wontons, take this money and buy some fire to eat! As he spoke, Qiu Chen took out twenty or thirty big coins from his cuffs, called for myrrh, and stuffed the money into his hand without saying a word.

After getting money for myrrh, he thanked Qiu Chen for his reward, and then hastily bowed his hand to his son-in-law, turned around and walked quickly.

After a while, he followed Childe's side but watched Childe be restrained, Childe was in a good mood, naturally nothing, if he was in a bad mood that day, and then remembered this stubble, he would have a hard time. The master's fun is not easy to see, he can avoid it, or hide far away!

Myrrh left his master and slipped away, and Qiu Chen didn't pay attention to Liao Wenqing who looked embarrassed at all, and ate very happily with a mouthful of wontons and soup.

In the morning, because she had something on her mind, she reluctantly ate only a little bit, and then she relaxed a little, and then she realized that she was really hungry. Although it was just a bowl of the simplest wontons, she also tasted the taste of Buddha jumping over the wall.

Liao Wenqing glanced at the back of myrrh hatefully, then turned his head, and saw that the woman opposite was eating extremely sweet, and then looked at the wontons in the coarse porcelain bowl, and seemed to be not so disgusted.

Reluctantly endured the diaphragm in his heart, Qiu Chen took the hot soup spoon in the hot soup, scooped a spoonful of clear soup and put it into his mouth with his eyes closed...... Hey, really...... Although it is not as delicious as described by the woman opposite, it is not unpalatable, but there is really a faint fragrance!

This bite of the stomach seemed to have a bit of a broken jar, and Liao Wenqing finally put down the shelf he was holding and ate it one bite at a time.

However, after all, it was crude eating, and even if he tried to get close to the woman opposite, he only ate a small half of it, and then put down the spoon.

Raising his eyes, Qiu Chen had already eaten all the wontons, and only a little soup was left at the bottom of the bowl.

Qiu Chen was also finishing eating, put down the soup spoon, raised his eyes, and happened to meet Liao Wenqing's dark eyes, and immediately smiled: "Have you eaten?" Let's go! ”

As he spoke, he spontaneously stood up and walked to the old man's side: "Uncle, this wonton is getting better and better." It's just that you are carrying a burden around, and you have to try your luck if you want to eat your bowl of wontons, so it is better for you to rent a shop and open a wonton shop! ”

"This lady is complimented. It's just that my wonton is a small profit, and I can't make a lot of money a day, so how can I have the money to rent any shop! The old man smiled wryly and shook his head.

Qiu Chen put a broken silver slot in his hand, about two coins of silver, and handed it to the old man, and said with a smile: "Uncle, I was about to buy a shop, and when I bought a shop, I came to find the uncle, and when the time came, the uncle will put the stall at the door of my shop!" ”

"Oh, Cheng, I'm just waiting for this lady to buy a shop...... Hey, you've given you a lot of money, wait, I'll get you money! As the old man spoke, he counted the money in the big pocket on his apron and looked for someone, but when he looked up, the little lady had already gone away with the official.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, the old man said with a smile on his face: "This little couple is really in love!" ”

Turning back to the Rejuvenation Hall, Qiu Chen asked Erkui, knowing that he hadn't eaten yet, he hurriedly took out more than twenty big money for him and asked him to eat by himself.

followed Liao Wenqing into the small cross-courtyard at the back, Shopkeeper Liu personally made tea and sent it up, Liao Wenqing whispered a few words, and Shopkeeper Liu agreed to retreat again and again.

Although the bowl of wontons just now tasted good, it was a little salty, Qiu Chen held the tea and drank two cups in one go, before he felt better.

Shopkeeper Liu had already walked in with two young men carrying a large food box.

After Qiu Chen was slightly stunned, he couldn't help but smile and turned his gaze, pretending to look at a calligraphy and painting on the wall, only to hear that Shopkeeper Liu had retreated with two young men, and then she turned around.

Getting up and looking at the delicate dishes on the table, Qiu Chen sighed and continued to sit down to drink tea.

After another half cup of tea in his stomach, Qiu Chen raised his eyes to look at Liao Wenqing and said, "It seems that you really haven't walked the business road!" ”

Liao Wenqing was stunned for a moment, and then his face was full of embarrassment!

Is this laughing at his inability to endure hardship?

He didn't feel sorry for her yet...... Just that bowl of crude street food can be eaten so sweet, I think I didn't eat breakfast well. But she didn't expect that when she saw a few dishes at this time, the first thing she thought of was to laugh at him?

Hmph, stupid woman, there is no need to endure hardship if you have the conditions, weishenme has to suffer that hardship? If there are no conditions, such as barren mountains and mountains, he will naturally ...... Able to be proud!

There was some injustice in his heart, but Liao Wenqing didn't show it on his face, and said with a faint smile: "My Liao family has passed down the medical skills to the world, and I opened a pharmacy for the convenience of practicing medicine." Therefore, it has been passed down for generations, and the business of the pharmacy is only average. Until there was Uncle Hai...... Later, the trade route to the west was opened, and there was the worship of the border army, and it was difficult to separate Uncle Hai if he wanted to come, so at that time, I naturally had to take this trade route. ”

Qiu Chen snorted slightly, and was about to speak, but the voice of frankincense came from the door: "Young Master......"

Liao Wenqing answered, and frankincense walked in with his hands down: "Young master, on your orders, the little one has already brought people." ”

"Well, then call in and have a look!"

Qiu Chen was also a little faintly excited. She knew that Liao Wenqing had arranged for frankincense to buy a girl, and she also wanted to see what it was like to become a member of their family.

Frankincense walked to the door and commanded outside, "Come in!" ”

As the sound of frankincense fell, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Qiu Chen hurriedly lifted her spirit and looked at the door, and immediately, she was stunned. It wasn't the two or a few little girls she expected that came in, but a large group of men, women, and children, a dozen or so people!

This is, what's going on?

Subconsciously, Qiu Chen turned his gaze to Liao Wenqing.

Liao Wenqing smiled slightly and said, "I mentioned it to frankincense just now...... Oh, you know, frankincense is specially handed over, and things are still relied on! ”

Qiu Chen nodded, but he still stared straight at him: "Frankincense is capable, I know, what's going on with this ......?"

In view of the fact that he does not talk about people in person, cough cough, and does not easily talk about people's principles behind his back, Qiu Chen swallowed the last half of the sentence, and only gestured slightly with his eyes.

Liao Wenqing smiled gently: "This is the meaning of frankincense, saying that the girl who is bought outside and has not been used will always take several months or even the last year to do a good job, it is better to pick a few at home, and the people in your own house know the roots, they all have served, know the rules, and know how to serve people." ”

Speaking of this, Liao Wenqing added: "Don't worry, these people are all together as a family, they all specially ordered frankincense, and they all have nothing to do with Fucheng, and they are all honest and diligent." ”

Qiu Chen's eyebrows were raised, and his mind turned sharply, after all, he had to admit that what Liao Wenqing said was very reasonable.

The girl bought from Renyazi is not necessarily rootless, but it is really not as good as what Liao Wenqing said that she picked it out from home, not to mention the roots, it is still a family together, and parents and children are together, which will also involve it in the future.

calmed down a little, and also took his gaze back.

Qiu Chen regained his strength and looked at the dozen or so men, women, and children standing in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "You may already know, your third young master intends to transfer you to me, I will say it first, I am a village in the mountain village, just a woman with a few children, I want to count on getting ahead and getting rich, so I take a break as soon as possible, it is better to stay in the Liao Mansion......"

When the words fell, more than a dozen men and women bowed honestly, only a thirty-five or sixteen-year-old man standing in front of him bowed down and said, "Madam, we only know how to keep our duty." The third prince is the master of the little ones, since the third son is the master of the little ones to the little ones, in the future, the lady will be the master of the little ones, and the little ones only know that they do their duty according to the orders of the lady, which is the duty of the little ones. ”

Qiu Chen raised his eyebrows, looked at this man for a full ten breaths, and then withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes, and secretly thought: It is really a slave from everyone, a person who is known for his honesty, can actually say such a thing to her. It's well organized, and it's really ...... Duty!

After a moment of silence, Qiu Chen raised his eyes again, but ignored this person, and only slowly swept his gaze over everyone, and then finally spoke: "If you don't dislike the life of the banker...... took a step forward, and then called himself by what his name, who were his parents, how many sisters and brothers, what relatives and close branches, what work he had done in Liao Mansion before, how old he was, and what special hobbies he had...... Report them all one by one! ”
