Chapter 90: Letter from Home
Chapter 90: Family Letters
Qiu Chen rushed to Manchu's house, said hello briefly: "We have been playing in the depression before, and I have been busy forgetting these days, just now Sister Lan Ying said that I didn't remember the whole courtyard......"
Daddy Manchu said with a smile: "What's that, there is no fixed field in the yard, and it is all where there is vacant land and where it is renovated." I got it right with Man Hoard early, there is still a sloping land on the east side of the school, and the soil mat mat is almost flat after pushing the soil mat in the afternoon. ”
Qiu Chen sweated profusely, in such a hot weather, and when he was so busy, he had to spare half a day to bulldoze the ground, and the father and son were really honest!
"Uncle Okawa, you don't have to look for a place anymore. The east side of my courtyard is almost cushioned, you and Brother Man Hoard go to see, where the unevenness is to make up for it, you can directly press the field. ”
Father Man was a little surprised, and said after a moment of silence: "Fu'er Niang, your plan is to save everyone's effort." But I remember your eldest brother said, isn't that land going to be planted with mung beans or something? After pressing the yard, it will take two more times to plant things, no, it is much more troublesome than normal ploughing. ”
Qiu Chen smiled and waved his hand and said, "Uncle Dachuan, the most important thing is to harvest wheat now, and it is impossible to delay the harvest of wheat." In the future, I will have a lot of effort, I will set the horse in the morning and evening, and it will come out in two days, and I can't delay anything! ”
Father Man Ho thought for a moment, and then nodded and agreed: "Cheng, I will use that piece of land as a yard according to you." After the wheat autumn, Man Ho and I took Sanhe to turn out the land for you again, and planted mung beans as soon as possible. ”
Qiu Chen was not polite, smiled and said goodbye.
When he returned to Lin's house, Qiu Chen saw a bundle of grass-green grass piled up at the door of the house, and his clothes were also hanging on the clothesline, dripping under the scorching sun. Maybe the Yang family doesn't have a girl, Junwen Junshu is very easy to do these meticulous work, Qiu Chen secretly thought, in the future, whose daughter will marry her nephew is blessed, several nephews are haode, know how to hurt people!
Entering the house, Junyan Junzhang had already gotten off the kang, and Junwen was standing by the kang to dress the girl.
As soon as she saw Qiu Chen coming in, the little girl rushed over blindfolded and coquettish: "Mother......"
Qiu Chen stretched out his hand to catch the little girl who had become fleshy, hugged her in his arms and kissed it, and then hugged Ah Fu, who was watching from the side, and kissed him, then said with a smile: "Okay, your eldest brother and I are going to the town, if you want to follow, hurry up and get dressed and washed, if anyone is late, don't take him!" ”
Jun Yan Junzhang ran out with cheers when he heard it, Ah Fu also slipped down the kang with a smile, but Ah Man was lying in Qiu Chen's arms, and said with Jiao'er: "Mother, take Man'er, bring Man'er!" ”
"You little laipi, you want your mother to dress up if you don't hurry up!" As she spoke, she nodded the tip of the little girl's nose, and the two laughed together.
Junwen smiled and said, "Aunt, I'll go to set up the car and load the car, don't worry, you slowly pick up Man'er!" ”
Qiu Chen responded with a smile, took Man'er's little gown and put it on the little girl, and re-combed the little girl's pigtails, and then led the little girl out to wash her face and hands.
A few children cleaned up neatly, and Junwen also set up the car and filled a cart full of Luo Buma.
Luo Bu Ma is light, and a cart can't fit much, and a part of the wheel has to be set aside for the children to sit on, Qiu Chen looked at it, and it was only less than a hundred catties, and he couldn't help laughing. This really refers to sending Luo Bu Ma Ming'er to inquire about the news!
The family cleaned up neatly, checked the front and back, locked the courtyard door, and drove to Qingshui Town.
The weather at the end of April was already hot, in order to load Luo Buma, and used a car without a shed, Qiu Chen took four small ones to sit on the wheel, it was hot, Junwen followed the car on foot, and soon sweated like rain.
Jun Yan said: "The second uncle and the second brother are in a hurry, are they also so hot?" ”
Qiu Chen touched the little guy's head with a smile, and said with a smile: "Your second brother and second uncle are walking to the north, and the more you walk, the cooler it gets, it shouldn't be as hot as us!" ”
In modern times, Qiu Chen has been to the Bashang grassland of the Mulan paddock, and has also been to the Daxinganling and Hulunbuir, where in July and August, he has to cover the quilt and wear a sweater at night! At this time, it is only the fourth month of the lunar calendar, and the solar calendar, at most, at the end of May and early June, it is estimated that you have to wear a thin cotton jacket on the grassland!
What's more, there is no greenhouse effect at this time, and the temperature should be much lower than in modern times.
Qiu Chen's answer aroused the interest of several children, and they asked, the more north Weishenme goes, the cooler it becomes? Even Junwen and Ah Fu Aman looked at Qiu Chen with curiosity.
Qiu Chen wanted to cry, she didn't know how to answer this question. Should children be taught that the earth is round? Or is it about the changes in the seasons caused by the rotation of the earth? Is it about the influence of the monsoon on the climate?
However, looking at the inquisitive eyes of a group of children, Qiu Chen really didn't want to fool the children, so he began to quickly consider how to answer.
After thinking for a while, Qiu Chen spoke, but instead of answering the question, he asked a question: "Do you know where we live?" ”
"Liu Jiaao!" Qiu Chen shook his head.
"Clearwater Town!" Qiu Chen continued to shake his head.
"Anyang Mansion?" Junwen replied hesitantly, Qiu Chen didn't nod or shake his head this time.
Instead, he said with a smile: "Actually, what you said about Liujiaao, Qingshui Town, and Anyang Mansion are all right. However, when I ask where we live, I don't ask the name of the place where we are located, but where are our Liujiaao, Qingshui Town, Yangjiapuzi, and even Anyang Mansion and Ming Dynasty? Have you thought about it? ”
As soon as this question was raised, the children's eyes were a little glazed, and their little faces quickly shrank and shook their heads blankly.
Taking advantage of his age, Aman climbed into Qiu Chen's arms with his hands and feet, sat on his mother's lap, raised a pair of eyes and asked, "Mother knows, tell Man'er!" ”
Junyan raised his hand and pulled Aman's pigtails, and said with a smile: "You little girl, why do you let your aunt only tell you, don't you let the four brothers listen?" ”
"Hmph, the fourth brother is bad, don't show it to the fourth brother. Listen to the eldest brother, the third brother, and the elder brother! Man'er pulled back his pigtails, pouted, and blocked Junyan back.
Every time Junyan provokes Man'er, he can't get any good, but he always enjoys it. Qiu Chen laughed secretly, it is estimated that Junyan is the kind of little boy who expresses his friendship by bullying little girls! She remembers that when she was in elementary school, there was a little boy at the back table, who always liked to pull girls' braids, or secretly draw ink on girls' clothes...... For this matter, he was educated by the teacher, but after the education, he should still cause trouble, and he hated the girls in a class who didn't care about him!
Qiu Chen patted Man'er to appease and appease the little girl, and said with a smile: "The place where we live, whether it is Liujiaao, Qingshui Town, or the entire Ming Dynasty, is a continuous area, with mountains and rivers, lakes and plains, such a large area is called the mainland ......"
While pondering, Qiu Chen began to explain the most basic geographical knowledge, and the children of all ages listened attentively.
These things have never been mentioned, and they are too mysterious and fascinating in the hearts of children.
It was only half an hour from Liu Jiaao to Qingshui Town, Qiu Chen broke it again and crumpled it again, and he didn't talk much about it in half an hour.
But in this way, in Qiu Chen's opinion, the content of only three or two sentences still makes it difficult for these children who have no impression of astronomy and geography to understand. If nothing else, the mere fact that the earth is round makes children feel so surprised that it is hard to believe.
A few children asked again and again, if the place where they were was round, weishenme would not slip? weishenme look, the ground is flat? ……
Qiu Chen just said that he really couldn't solve the children's confusion at this time, and he happened to be in Qingshui Town, so Qiu Chen said: "Let's put this problem aside for a while, and I'll tell you when we go home in the evening." Okay, all sit down, the car is about to enter the town. ”
The children still had question marks on their faces, but they also sat down obediently on the wheels. Qiu Chen told Junyan Junzhang to hold Afu Aman, and she also jumped out of the carriage and walked into Qingshui Town with Junwen.
It has only been more than two months since he first entered Qingshui Town, but Qiu Chen is already very familiar with Qingshui Town.
The shops on both sides of the street also have many acquaintances, seeing Qiu Chen driving the children into the town, some shopkeepers either arched their hands or greeted them with a smile, and Qiu Chen also greeted them one by one.
The car kept going inside and stopped at the entrance of the Rejuvenation Hall.
Because of the busy Mai Qiu that is about to start, Qingshui Town is obviously much cleaner than before, although the shops on both sides of the street are still open for business, but few customers come and go, and the Huichun Hall is also a similar situation, when the Lin family's carriage stopped at the door, the two workers Yin Chen and Chai Hu were chatting against the door frame, and when they saw the Lin family's carriage stopped at the door, Yin Chen and Chai Hu hurriedly jumped up, one ran out to follow Qiu Chen and his party, and the other ran into the backyard to call someone.
Qiu Chen greeted Yin Chen with a smile, picked up Afu Aman from the carriage, and led Junyan Junzhang Afu Aman straight into the gate of the Rejuvenation Hall.
Because there was no sick number, Mr. Zhao was sitting and reading a book in the consultation room, and when he heard the noise at the door and the greeting of Yin Chen, he immediately put down the book in his hand and greeted him. Soon, shopkeeper Chen and Jiang Zheng, who heard the news, also came out of the backyard.
After greeting everyone, the shopkeeper Chen smiled and said, "Lin Niangzi, if you don't come today, I will also send someone to Liu Jiaao to find you." ”
Qiu Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "But the caravan is here?" ”
Shopkeeper Chen Haha smiled: "Exactly, exactly." It's very hot outside, so Mrs. Lin brought the children in and said! ”
Qiu Chen smiled to himself and entered the door with the four small ones, while Junwen stood at the door, unloading Luo Buma from the car with the guys from the Rejuvenation Hall.
There is no sick number in the store, the front and back are transparent, and the wind blowing through the hall is quite cool, and everyone does not go to the backyard, Chen shopkeeper let Qiu Chen and Mr. Zhao sit on the chairs in the store, and Jiang Zheng personally went to make tea and brought it up.
Qiu Chen didn't care about drinking tea, he just stared at Shopkeeper Chen, waiting for news from the caravan. Although she knew that the caravan must be smooth when she saw the smile on Shopkeeper Chen's face, she was still a little uneasy when she heard Shopkeeper Chen say it with her own ears.
Shopkeeper Chen smiled and waved his hand, took out a mulberry paper envelope from his arms, and handed it to Qiu Chen.
Qiu Chen took the envelope with a slightly fluffy edge, and saw a few words on the top of the envelope at a glance: Sister-in-law opened it personally! The strokes are clear and elegant, and they are Lin Xu's handwriting. I couldn't help but redden my eyes immediately.
She took a deep breath vigorously, suppressing the sourness and joy that welled up in her heart, but she didn't care about stabilizing her emotions, so she tore open the envelope, pulled out the letter inside, and unfolded it to see.
Lin Xu's letter was not long, only two pages, Qiu Chen swept it quickly, and quickly finished reading the letter, and the rest was just that, only the sentence 'The journey is smooth, the line is safe, please sister-in-law don't worry' really read it. Suddenly, I felt that my heart had slipped for more than half a month, and I fell down all of a sudden, and I really landed on the ground safely.
However, a tear could not be held back, and it slammed on the letter paper with a click, and suddenly smudged a piece of ink.
Qiu Chen hurriedly wiped away his tears, handed the letter to Junyan Junzhang, who was waiting with his eyes, and said with a smile: "Your second uncle and second brother have arrived, and the journey is fine." Take the letter and go and talk to your eldest brother, and let him see it. ”
Junyan Junzhang took the letter and ran out as soon as he agreed, but Afu Aman snuggled up to Qiu Chen, and the brother and sister raised their little hands at the same time to wipe Qiu Chen's tears.
The tears in Qiu Chen's eyes didn't dry, but he couldn't help laughing, and hugged the two children one by one: "Afu Aman, don't be afraid, my mother is happy." Your little uncle and second uncle and second brother have been stable all the way, and my mother can finally put her mind at ease. ”
Everyone else also smiled and congratulated, although Shopkeeper Chen also congratulated everyone together, but secretly sighed in his heart. Others don't know, but he knows that this way to the north, the road in front of the eighteen-mile shop is just a hard work, but after the eighteen-mile shop, and then north into the Yanyun Mountains, that is really difficult and dangerous, all the way to the crisis!
That's it, since Lin Niangzi doesn't know, he shouldn't say anything to add to her heart. Besides, it is not impossible for caravans to enter and exit the Yanyun Mountain Range, if there is really a caravan that can't pass, that road will be abandoned a long time ago.
Qiu Chen and Junwen and their entourage finally inquired about the truth, and also received a letter written back by Lin Xu, knowing that the group was safe and sound, they were all happy. After coming out of the Rejuvenation Hall, Qiu Chen took the four small ones to stay in Qingshui Town for shopping temporarily, and asked Junwen to go back to Liujiaao to transport Luo Buma by himself. When Junwen goes back alone, he can also load more, and the speed is also fast.
Junwen transported Luo Buma three times in a row in the middle of the afternoon, and Qiu Chen also took four small ones to make a purchase. In addition to food, Qiu Chen also went to the jewelry shop for the first time to buy four silver locks, and asked the master of the jewelry store to save the words "peace and longevity" and hang them around the necks of the four children. Of course, each silver lock is also engraved with the owner's name: words, chapters, blessings, and fullness!
Junwen Junshu and Lin Xu were too old to wear silver locks, so Qiu Chen bought two silverfish pendants for their brothers, which were also engraved with the very small words "peace and long life" and their names. Junshu Lin Xu was not at home, and the wine was still kept by Qiu Chen, waiting for them to come back and wear it.
Seeing that his aunt had bought silver jewelry for his brothers, Junwen was a little embarrassed, and pushed back again and again: "Auntie, I don't have to wear this, it's better for my aunt to add some jewelry by herself!" ”
Qiu Chen doesn't have the habit of wearing jewelry in modern times, and he has been sad when he arrives here, but he didn't expect this stubble, as soon as Junwen reminded him, Qiu Chen smiled dryly: "You can wear it for you, and I'll buy it for myself!" ”
After that, Qiu Chen really bought himself jewelry, and he bought a few pieces. A pair of silver cloves, a little silver hairpin, but I bought five or six at a time.
Jun Yan saw that his aunt bought the same silver hairpin, and couldn't help but say: "Auntie, there are still a lot of beautiful hairpins over there, why don't you buy them in a different way?" I can use it interchangeably, too! ”
Qiu Chen patted Junyan boy's head and said with a smile: "My aunt promised you Aunt Lanying and them, and when we made money in our business, we bought them silver jewelry." ”
Junyan opened his mouth, and Zuihou patted his chest and said, "Auntie, when I grow up, I'll buy you a golden hairpin to wear!" ”
Junzhang and Ah Fu Aman also shouted and expressed their determination, saying that they would buy Qiu Chen what kind of jewelry they would buy when they were older.
Qiu Chen burst out laughing, touched the children's heads, and said with a smile: "Cheng, I have written down all the promises you made today, just wait for you to buy jewelry for me to wear when you grow up!" ”
Qiu Chen was generous, and there were no other guests, and the work of the jewelry shop and the shopkeeper were all standing next to him and flattering.
The shopkeeper of the jewelry shop looked rich, and his two small eyes narrowed into two slits when he smiled, and he was very happy to look at: "This lady is really blessed, see that these children are filial, this lady is waiting for the children to grow up and enjoy happiness!" When the time comes, I am afraid that the jewelry box of this lady will not be able to hold it! ”
Qiu Chen said with a smile: "It's still the shopkeeper's reasoning, I know that at that time, I'm afraid that the old ones won't be able to wear any jewelry, and if I buy any gold and jade, I have to fill it in the jewelry box!" ”
The shopkeeper smiled and waved his hand: "Where is the ......?"
He was about to say something to flatter, but Qiu Chen waved his hand to stop, let him settle the account, and took the children out of the jewelry store happily, and drove the carriage home.
Although the days at the end of April are long, it is almost time at this time, and the sky is already numb and dark, and if you don't hurry back, you will have to walk at night.
After receiving Lin Xu's letter, the family can say that they swept away their previous worries, and rushed back to Liujiaao It was already dark, but they were still talking and laughing all the way with joy on their faces.
When he got home, Qiu Chen first took out two packs of steamed buns, asked Junyan Junzhang to find Lao He and Liu Sanhe, and gave them the buns when he found them, and sent the buns to the third grandmother's house if he couldn't find them.
The few of them were so happy that they forgot that there were Lao He and Liu Sanhe at home to eat, it was so late, and they didn't see Lao He and Liu Sanhe, I'm afraid they were still hungry.
Junwen unloaded the car and led the horses to drink water and feed them, Afu Aman also obediently ran to the backyard to feed the chickens and roe deer, and Qiu Chen put the ingredients he bought back at the mercy of the dishes and prepared to cook a few dishes to celebrate.
When the children came back, Qiu Chen also made four dishes and one soup, and everyone gathered around the kang in the back room and had dinner happily.
After packing up, Qiu Chen began to make a simulated globe.
She asked for some magnets in the Rejuvenation Hall, and asked Junyan Junzhang to find a few irons from the bits and pieces when she went back to build the house. Qiu Chen took two semi-circular copper boxes - these are still the molds that Qiu Chen ordered for soap making, but he didn't expect that they had not been used in soap making, but they had become teaching tools.
Wrapped in cotton with a magnet and stuffed into a copper box, the outside was pasted with paper, and the two semi-circular copper boxes were put together to barely form a spherical shape.
Qiu Chen first took some bits and pieces, such as stones, broken porcelain pieces, etc., and put them on the ball, naturally he couldn't put them down. Then, Qiu Chen changed the iron nail, and there was still some distance between the sphere, and the iron nail was sucked over, and it was firmly attached to the sphere, and it would not fall off if it was shaken vigorously.
Qiu Chen tore a small piece of confetti and put it on the sphere, and the confetti would not slip off, but he didn't need to shake it vigorously, just blow lightly, and the confetti would be blown away.
Through several experiments, Qiu Chen told the children that the earth is magnetic, and the reason why people do not slip is because of the attraction of the earth's magnetism, and because compared to the earth, people are not as good as a scrap of paper, and naturally they will not slip.
The children watched Qiu Chen demonstrate to them one by one, and they were all surprised by the novelty, and as soon as Qiu Chen finished speaking, he immediately took over the extremely ugly globe and tried it himself.
Qiu Chen patted his head and quickly slipped away to the backyard to take a bath.
That's all she can say, whether the children can understand it, or whether there will be Galileo or Newtonian characters among the children, is not something she can control.
She went back to the house after taking a shower, but she didn't expect the children to still be playing, but the children had already put aside the 'globe' that had been tossed in half, and instead played with a few magnets.
Qiu Chen was so amused, she slapped them one by one, and hurried to wash and sleep, she also poured water for Afu Aman, washed up, and told a story to the mother and son, and slept peacefully.
In fact, Qiu Chen knew in her heart that when she saw Lin Xu's letter, she was afraid that that the group would go far away again. She also knows that Eighteen Mile Shop is still some distance away from her destination, and as far as her modern geographical knowledge goes, she also knows that if she goes north, she will definitely pass through the big mountain range, go northwest to cross the Taihang Mountain, and go north and northeast to cross the Yanshan Mountain Range. The two mountain ranges are steep and complex, and, as far as I have learned before, I am afraid that the road will become more and more difficult to walk on the northern border side, and secondly, the population will gradually become scarce...... Other...... Qiu Chen didn't expect it for a while. After all, in the time and space where she grew up and survived, there was almost no danger of going out except for traffic accidents.
This habitual cognition made her ignore many things. Many things that may be common sense in this society. It was precisely because of her habitual thinking that she was almost miserable later.
××××××××××
Besides, the Liao family in Anyang Mansion, Liao Wenqing was having breakfast, and I heard the little girl's report that it was frankincense waiting outside.
Liao Wenqing only thought that it was what he had ordered to inquire about last night, and he was too careful, so he only waved his hand and motioned for frankincense to come in.
Frankincense followed the little girl into the living room of the main house, bowed her head and saluted, Liao Wenqing raised her hand and said, "That's it, what are you doing with all these vain things every day." You haven't eaten breakfast yet, so sit down and eat some! ”
Frankincense raised her eyes and looked at the master, who was in a calm and faint mood, and summed it up in her heart, but she still felt that she couldn't hesitate about it, even if it disturbed the master's good mood for dining, there was no way. So, he said, "Master, the little one inquired about something important this morning!" ”
If there is no medicine to say this, Liao Wenqing doesn't care much, that kid always likes to take some idle things as a big thing, but frankincense is different. He knows that frankincense knows the most and understands the eyes, and when he is eating, if it weren't really 'important', I'm afraid frankincense wouldn't be in such a hurry to say.
Unconsciously frowning, Liao Wenqing waved his hand, sent all the girls who were waiting in the house down, and ordered: "Get farther away, go to the gate of the courtyard and watch a little, don't let people in!" ”
Qing Qiao responded softly, bowed down and withdrew with the little girls, and quickly left the vicinity of the main house, Qing Qiao even went to the gate of the courtyard to stare at it in person, so as not to disturb the third young master.
The four big girls in the courtyard have separate rooms, although she is not the same room as Peony, but Peony's mind is no longer a secret, and there is nothing that several big girls don't know. Peony cried low all night last night, and she knew that it must be the young master who said something. It's ridiculous that Peony has always regarded herself as a heroine in this courtyard, and in the end, it will only end up like this!
She doesn't care what other people's attitudes are, but she herself is determined to pay attention, as long as it is not forced by the master, she will never have that kind of non-distraction. It's not a day or two to serve in this house.,But whoever gave birth to that kind of girl who shouldn't have a mind.,No matter how clever and smart she was before.,It's like you're in a daze.,One by one, no matter what you want.,How can one of them end up well? How is the girl? What if she is elevated to be an aunt? Even if a child is born, it is a servant giving birth to a child, and the child is like half a slave, inferior to others for a lifetime, and cannot raise his head.
Rather than let the child fall into the situation of no one and no ghost, it is better to be his slave and maid in peace, if possible, to seek the grace of the master, Qingqiao wants to be able to redeem herself, she has a good female red, and also makes a good snack, thanks to the master's reward over the years, she has also saved dozens of taels of silver, and when the time comes, she will use these dozens of taels of silver as a capital to open an embroidery room or dim sum shop, how can she not support herself?
If before, this thought was not so clear, but since hearing the rumors of the widow, Qing Qiao felt that his ideals were suddenly clear. So a woman in a mountain village, with three children, and a husband who died and a new widow, can still collect her own medicine and make medicines, so that characters like her own son are devoted to marrying as the main room, she has no worries, and no children drag her down, she still doesn't believe that she is not as good as a newly widowed woman!
Don't say what Qing Qiao thought, just said that Frankincense watched the girl retreat, and he cautiously went to the door to look around, then turned around and closed the door, took a few steps forward, stood two or three steps in front of Liao Wenqing, and replied in a low voice: "Young master, the matchmaker I met at the Lin family a few days ago, I heard a piece of news, and it is likely that the matchmaker went to the Lin family." ”
"Say, don't beat around the bush!" After Liao Wenqing met the matchmaker that day, he always felt strange, and arranged frankincense to inquire a few times, but he didn't hear any news, only said that the matchmaker praised Liu Jiaao's third son of the landowner in the Lin family. The landlord was just a few hundred acres of land with two or three small shops, and there was nothing else, Liao Wenqing let go when he heard it. That landlord Liu doesn't say that he doesn't look at it, even the lady of the Lin family won't look at it.
The woman's eyes were high! I don't know why I married such a poor man from the Lin family in the first place!
Frankincense hurriedly responded and continued: "Last night, the little one went out of the house, felt hungry for a while, and went to a noodle restaurant on East Street to eat noodles, but I didn't expect to meet two noodle boys somewhere, at first the little one didn't care much, but when I heard one of the boys say, 'That Liu Laosan of Anping County is really funny, and it really should be our son-in-law and he really handed over...... Sure enough, the Liu Laosan that those two boys said is the third son of the Liu family of Liu Jiaao, and those two boys are the followers of the third son of the same prefect......"
When frankincense said this, Liao Wenqing stood up suddenly, and frankincense was so frightened that she suddenly stopped talking.
Liao Wenqing walked back and forth twice like a trapped beast, couldn't hear the sound of frankincense, and waved back and ordered: "Leave me alone, you continue." ”
"Yes," frankincense replied, and then added, "The two boys later said a lot of things, all of which were sarcastic about Liu Laosan, zuihou, one of the short and fat little guys said, '...... Hehe, you said that after the three of us get that little widow, how many days will it be rare? The other said, 'You don't know, but the woman was a widow, but she was a man of ability, and she was said to have a skill for earning money, and in the blink of an eye, the money flowed like water into the house...... Hehe, as long as the woman is not stupid to enter the door, our third young master will coax the money-making recipe clean, and the woman's favored days will be long! ’……”
Syllable......
The sound of porcelain cracking interrupted Frankincense's words again. Come to think of it, the key points are almost said, and the rest of the words are not very interesting. Frankincense simply shut up, took a few steps back, looked at Liao Wenqing, who was walking back and forth in the room, slowly squatted down, and picked up the broken porcelain piece. Then, holding a handful of broken porcelain pieces, he stood in the door and listened to the instructions.
After a while, Liao Wenqing gradually calmed down the anxiety in his heart, and waved his hand to signal frankincense to go down first. Frankincense bowed silently, bowed out, and closed the door for her master.
When he got outside, Frankincense handed over the broken porcelain piece in his hand to the little girl who was cleaning, found a towel to wipe his hands, and then sent those girls away, what should he do, he still stood silently at the door, waiting for the young master's next orders.
Standing at the door, frankincense also secretly sighed, the young master and the family have been making trouble for so many days, and finally coaxed the old man to agree to cut first and then play, first ask the official media to set a marriage, and then wait for the right opportunity to get to the bottom with the wife, when the time comes, there is a marriage book, and there is the support of the master, and the lady can only admit it. Unexpectedly, the young master was only happy for one night, and he actually gave birth to such a thing.
In Anyang Mansion, if you change to a family without an official body, the third young master will not look at it, but this time it is the son of the official family who is provoked, and it is the same person who is in charge of business, taxes, military registration and Fusui affairs. Previously, the supply of medicinal materials for the border army was controlled by this Tongzhi Lord, and his own son squeezed in through the general, so he offended this Tongzhi Lord...... I'm afraid that this time Lin Niangzi's incident was also caused by that incident...... Alas!
The third prince only thinks about the prosperity of the Liao family, but he doesn't want to, blessings and misfortunes!
At this hurdle, my son-in-law is not letting go, and it is not okay if he doesn't let go! It's really on fire!
Frankincense was at the door for most of the day, until, after noon, the chief housekeeper Liao Huai'an hurriedly came in to ask for a meeting, and Liao Wenqing finally came out of the house.
Liao Huai'an is his father's person, and when he saw him, Liao Wenqing didn't dare to take it lightly, so he quickly washed his face and changed his clothes before calling Liao Huai'an in.
Peeking at the third young master, he actually lost the joy of last night, and even hidden worries in his eyes, Liao Huai'an was a little puzzled, but he didn't say much, and only replied according to the instructions of the third young master: "Third young master, the old slave finally lived up to the young master's trust, found the most well-known official media Chen in Fucheng, and reviewed the household registration of both parties, and received the official media certificate...... Speaking of which, there is a small twist and turn, that Lin Niangzi is actually a female household, and she has no half of the family property in her name, only a son and a daughter......"
"Uncle An! What did you say? Liao Wenqing jumped up as if he had been stabbed. After questioning, Liao Wenqing also woke up to his gaffe, quickly eased his expression, pulled Liao Huaian to sit down, and said with a smile, "What did Uncle An say just now, that Lin Niangzi is an independent female household?" ”
Liao Huai'an was a little inexplicable by Liao Wenqing's startle, and nodded suspiciously: "Yes, I set up a female household!" ”
Liao Wenqing clapped his hands, and hahadaxiao said: "Female household! Wonderful wow, really wonderful wow, how did I forget about this stubble! ”
daxiao said a few times, and hurriedly ordered the frankincense at the door: "Why don't you hurry up and serve tea to Uncle An?" Hey, bring me the jar of good wine I brought back from earlier, and let Uncle An take it back to taste, it's a good wine that has never been there before! ”
After commanding repeatedly, Liao Wenqing put his clothes on the table and sat next to Liao Huai'an, and said affectionately: "Uncle An, tell me, that woman is a single female household, isn't this kind of household registration a woman who can't remarry according to the rules, and can only recruit money?" ”
Rao is Liao Huai'an has been serving for more years, and his heart and eyes are turning quickly, and he can't keep up with the three changes of the third young master at this time, Mu Mu nodded and said: "This is indeed the case according to the rules, but we are businessmen, son...... It's not important! ”
Liao Wenqing slapped his palms again, stroked his palms and said: "Haha, this is what you want, I am not an official, I have not entered the office, but some people are officials, and some people are pointing to rise step by step!" Hmph, I'll see if he dares to bully the woman and forcibly accept him as a concubine! ”
Hmph, you bastard, you dare to ruin your Liao Sanye's good deeds, I'll see if you dare to violate the law. You'd better straighten your back...... Don't pee!
With a cold snort, a cold light flashed in Liao Wenqing's eyes, and then he smiled, took Liao Huai'an's hand and carefully discussed the affairs of inviting the official media to go to Liu Jiaao to propose marriage. It's just that Liao Wenqing told Liao Huai'an to wait a few days, he will make some arrangements, and then let the official media leave!
Liao Huai'an didn't know what was going on, so that the third young master, who was still anxious last night, suddenly changed his attention and was not in a hurry, but he was always vigilant about his identity, he was a slave leader, how the master told him to do it wholeheartedly, and other reasons, if he knew it, he would put it in his heart. If the master doesn't say it, he won't ask the master for any reason...... As for figuring out the ins and outs behind the scenes, as long as the hands and feet are clean, it is a must.
After the discussion, Liao Huai'an hugged a small black porcelain jar and respectfully withdrew, Liao Wenqing jumped up again, and walked back and forth in the house.
He had met a lot of officials and sons in Anyang Mansion, but this matter was not trivial, and he had to find a useful and appropriate person to talk to him...... Only then can you get twice the result with half the effort!

At the same time that Liu Jia'ao and the Lin family were overjoyed by Lin Xu's family letter, Lin Xu and his entourage followed the caravan of the Huichun Hall after several days of arduous trekking, and finally got out of the dangerous mountain.
If the road was smooth, it would take about four or five days to get out of the mountain, but the caravan suffered heavy rain the day after entering the mountain.
The mountain road is steep and rugged, most of the time people are dragging the horses, moving forward step by step, the most dangerous and narrowest place, the mountain road is just able to drive a carriage, and there are steep canyons next to it, which are unfathomable. With such a steep journey, the caravan did not dare to brave the rain at all. I had to find a slightly higher and gentle slope and camp and wait for the heavy rain to stop.
Unexpectedly, the heavy rain lasted for two days and one night, and it gradually subsided at dusk the next day. As soon as the rain stopped, the mountain road was also slippery, and it was dark again, so naturally it was delayed all night. Although they reluctantly set off on the road the next morning, the mountain road was still not dry, and the men and horses walked extremely carefully along the way, moving forward step by step, in this case, the speed was naturally not fast...... In this way, the distance that could have been passed in five days at most, but after nine days, he still couldn't get out of the mountain.
Finally, early in the morning of the tenth day, Liao Hai loudly cheered up the caravan: "Everyone, take a breath again, stick to today, we won't need the dark sky, we can go out of the mountain." Out of the mountain, we can take a breath and relax and relax! ”
As soon as it was said that it would take more than half a day to get out of the mountain, the group, whether it was the dart master or the steward, the work, all of them were in good spirits, and the original tired and tired body seemed to have strength all of a sudden. Everyone shouted loudly, smiled and beckoned to set off on the road, and at the same time they were thinking about what to expect after leaving the mountain.
"When I get out of the mountain, I will lie on the grass and sleep beautifully, and then I will be tired these days!"
"I don't sleep, I want to find a bubble to wash well, how many days have it been, it's either raining every day, or drilling the old forest in the mountain stream, how many days have I not seen the sun, and it's almost moldy!"
"As far as the two of you are concerned, one knows how to sleep, and the other is poor...... If you want me to say, out of this old forest that doesn't let the fire be made, let's first talk about digging a stove to make a fire, making a hot meal to eat, these days, gnawing dry food and drinking cold water every day, I'm about to become a fucking savage! ”
Laughing and laughing all the way, the sky grew brighter and brighter, and finally, the sun crossed the high mountain peaks and appeared in the narrow sky above the canyon. Seeing that it was noon, victory was in sight, everyone was even more excited, no one wanted to have lunch, no one wanted to rest, they all held their breath and looked out of the mountain, just looking forward to getting out of this overwhelming mountain, resting well, and being lazy!
Finally, Li Zhenbei, who was walking at the forefront, shouted: "Everyone, work hard, I see Gukou in front!" In two quarters of an hour at most, we'll be out of the mountain! ”
This shout came from the front, and everyone in the caravan rejoiced!
Just when everyone felt that victory was in sight, and they were about to transcend and ascend to heaven, and they could rest and rest, suddenly there was a rumbling explosion overhead......
"Damn, why is it thundering again? Is it going to rain again? This doesn't make people live! I don't know which young man thought it was thunder, and couldn't help but shout and curse.
It's just that although his voice is high, it is definitely not so obvious and clear.
He suddenly felt that something was wrong, and in the blink of an eye, he suddenly realized that it was not that he was shouting too loudly, but that the entire caravan had collectively lost its voice!
Then, he heard Li Zhenbei shouting loudly in front of the caravan: "Run, run out of the valley!" ”
Li Zhenbei's originally rough and bold voice suddenly rose a few octaves, and the voice was sharp and piercing. The young man was frightened in a daze, and before he could see clearly, he heard a sudden rumble and several thunderous roars from the cliffs on both sides, which rushed down from the top of his head, and went straight down to where he was. The young man blinked, and then he could see clearly that where there was thunder, it was simply a boulder, which was rolling down the cliff and smashing down towards the caravan!
"Mother, ......!" The young man shuddered, and he didn't know where to gush out, and flew towards the faint valley mouth in front of him.
He didn't care about the stone at all, he didn't care who it hit, and at the moment, the only thing he wanted to think about was to take a step faster, faster than those falling boulders, and escape, escape out of the valley and valley mouth......
I don't know if this guy is lucky or unlucky. Luckily, he was very far forward in the caravan, following the third car in front of him. This position makes him closer to Taniguchi than most of his partners behind him, and he has more hope of escaping! Unfortunately, just as he was running and about to run out of the valley, a dozen boulders suddenly fell in front of him. He watched as the boulders smashed a carriage and a steward running in front of him into meatloaf? Or Bolognese? ……
