Chapter 303: Elimination and Fighting
Chapter 303 is even eliminated and beaten
Fortunately, after Qiu Chen said this, he followed up with a sentence to tell the sister-in-law of the Zhou family not to make a noise, which saved a fluctuation. In this way, the sister-in-law of the Zhou family still held Qiu Chen's hand, and was grateful for a while, saying that if Qiu Chen hadn't sent someone to take care of it and sent so much grain and rice to eat, even if the Zhou family was not injured by the plague, they were afraid that the famine and conscription that followed would also hurt many people.
After listening to the sister-in-law of the Zhou family for a long time, Qiu Chen realized that the cloth and other things she sent over at that time were sold by the Zhou family a year ago, so that the family could be a young and strong servant, and because of the food sent by Qiu Chen, as well as the help of the Zhou family later, the old and young of the Zhou family did not starve when the green and yellow in the winter and spring were not received.
That incident was just a gesture for her, but the sister-in-law of the Zhou family thanked her again and again, and said that the family had set up the immortal tablet of 'Mr. Qiu', and also said that many families had set up the immortal tablet of 'Mr. Qiu'...... Qiu Chen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he heard this, this is an era of imperial power, the only thing that the people can only worship is the Ninety-Five, if other people are sought after among the people, if one is not good, he will be suspected of 'buying the hearts of the people', which is a big taboo.
After thinking about it again, Qiu Chen still persuaded the sister-in-law of the Zhou family with kind words: "Sister-in-law, at that time, because I was engaged in cross-dressing, it was not easy to explain my identity to you, you don't blame me for being lenient in concealing it, where can I get that Laoshizi again." When you go back, tell your family about it, remove that thing, we are so close, and it will be far away to get that. ”
Although the sister-in-law of the Zhou family didn't quite understand in her heart, she still agreed.
Qiu Chen saw that the people of the Zhou family were completely different from the Zhao family, they were all kind and simple people, so he decided to pull them along, but he didn't use the matter of buying Luo Buma, but asked about the Zhou family's sister-in-law's farming.
As soon as she talked about farming, the sister-in-law of the Zhou family talked more, and her expression became confident: "...... My family has only known how to farm for several lifetimes, and last year we got the grain you sent, we were able to eat enough, and the wheat was not delayed in planting, and after boiling for a winter and spring, this year's wheat harvest was good, and four and a half stones of new wheat were beaten per acre...... Only then did I feel a little relieved. Although it is not much to talk about, compared to last year, our family is content. ”
He lowered his voice again and said: "In addition, thanks to your blessing, your sister-in-law sent us some persimmon seedlings, and your old man also taught us how to do it by hand." At the beginning, we didn't expect that the small red persimmons could be sold well, but before they were ripe, there was a restaurant in Qinghe County that used to pay a fixed fee, and now they have sold two stubbles and got a few taels of silver......"
Listening to what the sister-in-law of the Zhou family said, Qiu Chen knew that the persimmons of the Zhou family were cheap, but he still smiled and praised them, and then said: "Sister-in-law will tell the Qinghe restaurant when I go back, and say that Yunzhongxian in Anyang will also buy your persimmons......"
The sister-in-law of the Zhou family widened her eyes in surprise, and after a while, she finally understood what Qiu Chen meant, and couldn't help but say in a lost voice: "But the price given by Qinghe is not fair?" ”
Qiu Chen smiled and shook his head: "It's just a bid, this price is inevitably a little low, although my sister-in-law said that Yun Zhongxian wants to buy it...... That restaurant should just give a fair price, otherwise, you don't have to sell it to them, and it will be transported directly to Yunzhong Immortal in Anyang City...... I also planted some persimmons in Anping's Zhuangzi, Yunzhongxian has been receiving goods there, but the quantity is always limited, if you send them to them, the price is fair, don't worry, as long as the persimmons are good, how many they want. ”
The sister-in-law of the Zhou family nodded slowly, lowered her head and pondered for a while, and then said: "It's not that I don't believe in you, sister, it's just that the restaurant is in front after all, if he is willing to give a fair price, I think I should sell it to him......"
Qiu Chen didn't care about the little insistence of the Zhou family's sister-in-law, nodded yes, and said again, next year's persimmon seedlings will come out of her, and then let the Zhou family grow a few acres. The sister-in-law of the Zhou family thanked her happily.
Next year, there will definitely not be only the Yang family and the Lin family, or even just in-laws like the Zhou family...... It's just that, after all, this year's diffusion is limited, and most of the tomatoes planted next year will not be on a large scale, so next year's tomatoes can be sold at a good price for at least one year. After that, there were fresh crops like corn and potatoes, which could be sold for two or three years. With these, coupled with the Zhou family's diligence and frugality, it should be enough for them to earn a solid family business, buy dozens of acres of land, and live a worry-free life in the future.
The miscellaneous guests left, and when Zhou watched the people pack up their belongings and turn back, the Zhou family also said goodbye and left.
The Yang family, which had been making noise for most of the day, finally quieted down, and a few little leather monkeys came out of nowhere, only to know that they were going to do the Tao when they asked, Junyan Junzhang was also impatient to entertain the children who were dragging their noses at the relatives' house, and took Ah Fu and Jun Shu out of the house to wander around, and finally went to the school of the Yang family shop to listen to a day's class, during which the teacher of the school also called a few children to ask him, and he actually took a fancy to Ah Fu, and said that Ah Fu came to study with him.
Speaking of these, Jun Yan had a smug face, as if he was being praised.
After a tiring day, the family gathered together to relax, talk and laugh, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
Qiu Chen asked the second brother Yang Shumeng: "The name of the little six children in the family, is it not a name yet?" ”
Yang Shu touched his head violently and smiled: "At the beginning, the family was looking forward to giving birth to a girl, and several names were all girl's names, where do you want to be a kid again......"
Qiu Chen turned around and asked Old Man Yang Liancheng: "Dad, how many did you name Mr. Xuetang when you first asked him?" Do you have one for Xiao Liu'er? ”
Old Man Yang also looked embarrassed, and coughed before saying: "At that time, Mr. Jiaoshu said that there were five grandchildren and four daughters, and I already thought that people were saying good things, where did I know that even Xiao Liu'er has ...... now."
Qiu Chen was stunned, and then laughed very unkindly. feelings, poor little Liu'er is so unexpected......
Zhou said next to him at this time: "Sister, you read a lot, don't look for others at this time, just give Xiao Liu'er a name......
Qiu Chen looked at his sister-in-law in surprise, and then looked at the second elder of the Yang family and the second brother Yang Shumeng, who also had a full face of approval, and couldn't help but smile and shook his head: "I have an opinion...... A few of our little ones have also been reading for two or three years, and they are almost complete in terms of literacy, so it is better to let them give each of them a name, and then we will discuss and choose one to use! ”
As soon as these words came out, they were approved by the whole family, and the eyes of the four little ones also lit up one by one...... Even Junli, who has only read for more than half a year and has just finished learning a thousand-character essay, has a small face full of eagerness...... It's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and when they are older, this courage may be worn out.
Just do it, a few small ones got together and muttered for a while, Junyan ran out of the house to get a pen and paper, and the four of them each found a place where they were not safe from being spied on by others, or groaning, or pondering, or scratching their ears and cheeks, or waving their ......
The fastest one is actually Junyan.
Qiu Chen took the paper handed over by Jun Yan, and wrote a big 'line' on it.
"Junxing...... Pretty good! After a little pondering, even Qiu Chen couldn't help but admire.
I didn't expect that Junyan, this kid didn't study very hard, and his ability to name was very good.
If Junli's first submission was a big surprise, the second one was Junli, and although he was still surprised, he was much better.
Junli sent a big, barely neat 'abundance'. The complex strokes of the rich characters in the traditional writing style, and Junli's ability to write correctly at a young age has already surprised and delighted Qiu Chen.
Next up are Junzhang and Ah Fu. The character written by Junzhang is 'Zhen', while the character written by Ah Fu is the character 'Yi'.
"Junxing...... Junfeng ...... Junzhen ...... Junyi ...... "Every time Qiu Chen said one, Ah Fu wrote a name on the paper, and the four names were lined up, and when it was over, Qiu Chen looked at the four neat names lined up and laughed: "How do I think these four names are very good...... It seems that the eldest brother and the second brother will continue to work hard in the future, and add Xiaoqi, Xiaoba and Xiaojiu to become successful! ”
The second brother Yang Shumeng listened to Qiu Chen's joking words and laughed a few times, although the sister-in-law Zhou was a little embarrassed, but after all, she was old, she slapped Qiu Chen in disgust, and said with a smile: "You don't look at how old you are, if you don't study, Junwen should marry someone at this time, what else do you want to add to the little seven, eight and nine!" ”
Speaking of the old Yang family Ding Xingwang, the happiest are the old man Yang and the Liu family, the second old man looked at the four names written by Ah Fu and smiled.
Liu nodded with a smile on his face: "It's all good, it's all good...... Which one can be used for Xiao Liu'er? ”
Qiu Chen naturally didn't talk nonsense at this time, Yang Shumeng just smiled but didn't make a sound, but Junzhang, who had always talked little, got up at this time, arched his hand towards his grandparents, father, aunt, and aunt, and said: "Although the four names have their own merits and are all used, the kid thinks that the 'Junyi' of filial piety is ranked after Junli, and the etiquette is prosperous, and the etiquette inheritance is just right!" ”
Jun Yan also smiled at this time: "Well, what the fourth said is that if there is a little seven called Junxing and eight called Junzhen, Xiao Jiu will be called Junfeng......
Just as he was shaking his head and saying, Junyan was unguarded and Zhou had already slapped him on the head: "Nonsense! ”
"Ouch, mother, Junli has a little brother, you can quickly add a younger brother to me, no younger brother, add a younger sister......"
Before he finished speaking, Junyan, who had already been on guard, rushed out of the door, and the laughter that he thought he had planned came in from outside the door, causing Zhou to grit his teeth and scold.
Junzhang saw that Zhou was really embarrassed and angry, and hurriedly pulled Junli and Ah Fu with a smile and slipped out of the door.
Qiu Chen stepped forward to comfort the Zhou family for a few words, and seeing that the person finally regained his calm expression, he couldn't help but secretly ponder in his heart. Speaking of which, Zhou's age is not very old, but he is thirty-five years old, and after giving birth to Junwen Junshu and Junyan in one go, it is too abnormal that he has not been pregnant again for ten years...... The relationship between the eldest brother and sister-in-law is still good, and there are no groups of wives and concubines from large families...... Did you hurt yourself before? However, it's obviously not good to ask the Zhou family directly, anyway, I'm going to stay tonight, so let's ask the Liu family what the situation is!
Since Junzhang said that, Old Man Yang also slapped the board very happily: "Don't look at the fourth child, don't look at the silence, you can speak at the critical moment, not bad, not bad!" Even if he said that, it makes sense to me, then Xiao Liu'er is called Junyi! ”
The old man slapped the board, and the others naturally had no objections. Xiao Liu'er's name was decided.
Yang Shumeng got up and said, "I'll go and tell the child's mother!" ”
Leaving the words, Yang Shumeng hadn't walked out of the door yet, when he saw the mother-in-law Zhang in Zhao's room coming in from outside, and saw Yang Shumeng hurriedly reported: "Second master, the second wife sent the little one to invite Mrs. Gu to come over!" ”
The smile on Yang Shumeng's face suddenly dissipated, and he asked coldly, "Is there something wrong with her mother's family?" ”
"......" Yang Shumeng's words were not something that a servant woman of the Zhang family could answer, so he was dumbfounded for a moment, so he had to hang his head and say, "The two uncles and wives woke up and talked to the second wife in the house. As soon as the uncle and wife entered the door, she sent the little one outside...... The little ones didn't hear what they were saying! ”
Yang Shumeng and Zhang's words did not avoid the people in the room, hearing this, Qiu Chen was already a little annoyed, and stood up, the anger on his face for a moment had been suppressed by her. turned around and called Zhou's family, and greeted the second elder again: "Since you invited me over, let my sister-in-law accompany me over, and the second brother doesn't have to go over, let's just tell the second sister-in-law about the name of Junyi." ”
This is nothing, but Yang Shumeng knows the temper of his daughter-in-law's two sisters-in-law too well, and he can't help but worry that his sister will be angry in the past, and said: "Haitang, it's okay if those people ignore it!" ”
At this time, Qiu Chen completely calmed down, and said with a smile: "Where did the second brother come from, those people ignore it and don't care, but the second sister-in-law is still sitting in confinement, so she can't be embarrassed." …… Don't worry! ”
After speaking, he took Zhou's arm and went out of the door, and Zhang hurriedly bent his knees towards everyone in the room and hurriedly followed.
Today's West Courtyard is the protagonist, but after all, only close relatives and friends have been brought over to see the children, and now most of those guests are gone, the newly built West Courtyard here, two jujube trees and a locust tree sprinkled with the shadow of the tree, more than the summer afternoon courtyard quiet and quiet.
Qiu Chen took Zhou's arm all the way to the door of the main room, then stopped, turned around and motioned to Zhang, who was following closely behind, to come forward and report.
"Second wife, aunt and eldest lady are here!" As Zhang reported inside, he opened the curtain of the main house. I faintly heard a few muttering in the room, and then Zhao's voice: "Sister-in-law and sister are here, please come in soon, when are you so polite!" ”
Zhou agreed with a smile, raised his feet and walked into the house. Qiu Chen let go of Zhou's arm at this moment, took a step behind, and Shi Shiran straightened his clothes, and then took Chunxiang and Yuegui into the house.
Coming to the door of the inner room, Zhou personally stepped forward to open the curtain, Chunxiang hurriedly walked a few steps from behind to grab the curtain in front of her, and at the same time bent her knees and said: "Uncle's wife, with us, where is the reason for you to open the curtain!" ”
Zhou was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "The girls around my sister are all smart. ”
After waiting for Qiu Chen for a while, the sister-in-law wanted to follow into the back room.
The door curtain fell behind him, and out of the corner of Qiu Chen's eyes, he caught a glimpse of Zhang's still not coming in, and a fierce color flashed in his eyes, and then he turned his eyes to look at the second sister-in-law on the kang. I saw that the second sister-in-law was still dressed in the morning, but in addition to the red cocoon silk jacket of the visitor, she only wore a willow leaf green cocoon silk jacket and an indigo blue cocoon silk crotch pants, and sat on a big pillow.
The two sisters-in-law of the Zhao family sat on the edge of the kang without moving, and the Zhou family was gentle and not provocative, pulling Qiu Chen to sit on the chair opposite the kang.
"Sister-in-law, Sister Begonia, I'm tired of you today!" Zhao opened his mouth with a word of thanks. Zhou waved her hand again and again to make her not polite, but Qiu Chen only hooked his lips and did not make a sound.
She just wanted to see what the second sister-in-law Zhao was thinking, or was it just her two sisters-in-law...... It's just the two women of the Zhao family, if the second sister-in-law has any thoughts, then in order to prevent any discord in the future, she has to consider some things and be prepared.
Zhao seemed to be talking to Zhou and Qiu Chen, but his eyes were more focused on the sister-in-law, he sneered, pointed to the melon face and wooden stiff face on the edge of the kang and said, "You have also seen it before, this is Junzhang and his big ...... Aunt and second aunt. …… Sister-in-law and sister-in-law, Junzhang and his aunt, you know, Junzhang and his aunt, you may not recognize it if you haven't seen it for a few years, and now Haitang has already won the title of the Son of Heaven, and it is Mrs. Sanpin! ”
With Zhao's introduction, the melon face and the wooden stiff face couldn't sit still anymore, got down from the edge of the kang, bent their knees to salute Qiu Chen, and the melon face squeezed out a smile, and said: "Look, my sister is now rich and noble, it's really unrecognizable." We were clumsy before, and we didn't recognize it, so don't be surprised sister! ”
Qiu Chen sat upright at this time, only glanced up at the two of them slightly, and said with a slight bow: "Since the two of you are the second sister-in-law's mother's family, everyone is a relative, so you don't have to be so polite......
As he spoke, with a look, Chunxiang and Yuegui, who were standing beside him, immediately stepped forward and helped the two of them up.
Where have these two seen such a battle, although they are angry in their hearts, they have no bottom in their hearts after all, their faces are blue and white for a while, and they can't even say anything on their melon faces.
Although the Zhao family and the Zhou family have seen Qiu Chen's posture of hugging before and out, after all, Qiu Chen is gentle and gentle when he is in person, and he has never seen her put on such a posture, so he is also stunned at this time, and he can't react a little.
Chunxiang and Yuegui helped the two of them, and then silently returned to Qiu Chen and stood silently with their hands down. Qiu Chen saw that he was satisfied in his eyes, with Chen's teaching, the girls in the family laughed and laughed lively, but they could handle it on the scene, so they wouldn't fall into the trap.
Zhou didn't notice, Qiu Chen's two little girls followed at some point, and after a report outside the curtain, Chunxiang and Yuegui walked to the door of the inner room, and took four or five things from the outside, namely two sweet white porcelain sunflower pattern teacups, two wet handkerchiefs, two gargle boxes, and a delicate plum blossom-shaped food box.
The teacups were saluted in front of Qiu Chen and Zhou, and the food box was also placed on the small table between the two, and then he waited for Qiu Chen to wipe his hands with a handkerchief, and then handed the teacup to Qiu Chen. When the two girls turned around to serve Zhou, Zhou almost jumped up as if he was burned by the fire, barely steady, but still waved his hand again and again: "You don't have to work, I'll do it myself!" ”
Chunxiang and Yuegui were not reluctant, they only put the handkerchief in Zhou's hand, and silently retreated behind Qiu Chen to serve.
Qiu Chen lowered his head and slowly took a sip of the tea, then slowly raised his eyes, and did not look at the two people standing there on the ground making stakes, only looked at Zhao, and said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law just sent someone to call me, but what is important to tell me?" ”
Zhao seemed to have just woken up at this moment, looked at Qiu Chen with some apprehension, and then said with some energy: "Sister, it's not me looking for you, it's ......."
Qiu Chen's face turned cold, put the teacup on the table, interrupted Zhao's words, and said: "Second sister-in-law, you are still in confinement, the most important thing is to take care of Junyi, and at the same time take care of your own body...... As for other things, if you are happy to listen to it, you can ignore it. ”
Zhao was dismissed by Qiu Chen's words, and at first felt that he was a little embarrassed to be intercepted, and then looked at the faces of the two sisters-in-law on the ground, and couldn't help but feel that while secretly breathing, he sweated for his mother. These two sisters-in-law, one is bitter and mean, and the other is vicious, they are not easy to get along, after all, their own mother will have to beg for a living in the hands of others in the future, in case she gets angry here and goes back to scold the old lady even harder, isn't it her sin?
Qiu Chen spoke, but his eyes did not move away from Zhao's face, seeing her expression change, he also guessed her thoughts, lowered his eyes, changed the topic and smiled: "Why did I only see the two sisters-in-law of the second sister-in-law?" Why didn't my aunt and two sisters see me? I remember that the three of them didn't drink at the table. ”
After hearing this, he already understood in his heart that it was the two sisters-in-law who did it, and the Zhao family had no choice but to laugh and say: "I think it's because of the rush on the road and the tired......ness of being on the seat," he raised his voice and ordered, "Sister-in-law Zhang, you go to the West House to see, are your mother and eldest sister and second sister awake, and when you wake up, please come over and talk together, his eldest aunt and aunt have come over." ”
Zhang answered in the outer room, but the three mother and daughter, who were a little sneering on their faces, were invited over.
Qiu Chen didn't hold it this time, stood up and greeted Grandma Yingjunzhang, and nodded with Zhao's sisters with a smile before sitting down again.
