Begonia is the youngest in the Yang family, when the Zhao family entered the door and Junzhang was born, Begonia was not married, and she should have seen these relatives of the Zhao family, yes, at this time, Qiu Chen didn't know anyone, but it was not easy to ask, and listening to the words just now, she was very mean and sour, and her personality was not much better, and she really didn't bother to pay attention to it.

It's just that Xiao Liu'er's milk doll has just been ten days old, and it is the most delicate time, and she can't stand such a loud fright. Zhao, who was in confinement, was also the most annoyed, she could have walked away, but because she was sheltered, she stayed.

Although she stood up, she only smiled slightly, her eyes were calm and distant, and she did not mean to take the initiative to say hello.

As soon as the melon strip'er's face came in, although he praised Xiao Liu'er indifferently, his eyes swept down on a few gold, silver and jade objects placed above Xiao Liu'er's pillow on the kang, and those two eyes lit up suddenly, and he couldn't move his eyes when he landed.

Qiu Chen's gaze just swept away, and then skimmed over this person, and instead focused on the few people who came in after him.

The melon strip face was wearing a muslin cloth, a madder-colored floral blouse, and a dark lotus-colored four-panel skirt, all of which looked brand new and freshly topped. An old woman who came in after her, with gray hair, a drop of silver hairpin in her hair, deep and dense wrinkles on her face, as if carved by a knife, only entered the door and ignored the others, and fell straight on the Zhao mother and son, revealing a heartfelt joy. Qiu Chen guessed that this should be Zhao's mother, it seems that this old lady really feels sorry for her daughter, just looking at the melon face performance of Zhao's sister-in-law in front, Zhao's mother's status in the family is not very high...... You must know that the mother-in-law at this time can control the life and death of her daughter-in-law, but if the mother-in-law is a little powerful, it is too late for the daughter-in-law to be respectful and careful in front of the mother-in-law, how can she walk in front of the mother-in-law so arrogantly, and speak so presumptuously in front of the mother-in-law.

Zhao's mother was wearing a cocoon silk dress, but the sauce-colored Tuanfu character and the black longevity pattern jacquard cocoon silk clothing, how did Qiu Chen look at it and feel a little familiar...... It seems that there are two identical horses in the clothes she sent to Liu in the spring.

Skipping these two people, Qiu Chen looked at the three women who came in behind him, both older and younger, two of them were somewhat similar to the Zhao family and the old woman between their eyebrows and eyes, and they should be the sisters of the Zhao family. Another middle-aged woman in her forties, with a wooden face and clothes on her body that were also straight and rigid, should be Zhao's other sister-in-law - Zhao's fourth oldest in the family, with two brothers and a sister at the top, and a younger sister at the bottom. This time, Qiu Chen saw all the ladies of the Zhao family.

Five women entered, and the room, which had been quite spacious, suddenly became crowded. Yang Shumeng came in after him, and he couldn't go inside, so he stood in the threshold, and when he saw Qiu Chen standing in the corner of the door, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Begonia is also here...... You also recognize that this is Junzhang's mother and his two aunts and aunts. ”

Yang Shu's voice of Qiu Chen's recognition finally attracted the attention of the five women, and Qi Qi turned around to see Qiu Chen standing in the corner of the door and the big kang, the old woman squeezed out a smile on her face, and was about to speak to Qiu Chen, but was robbed by the melon face: "Ouch, I said that the second elder of the Yang family, you have made a fortune and are very particular about speaking, and what else is aunt and aunt, where do we know who to call the Dao, or to call the concubine and aunt to listen close." ”

If the few words outside the house before were just scathing, this sentence not only slapped Zhao's mother's face, but also slapped Yang Shumeng's face, which was extremely rude.

Yang Shumeng was originally quite impatient with this previous performance, but he was looking at his youngest son's good life, and his mother's family was a distinguished guest, so he couldn't bear it because he didn't disturb everyone's interest, and when he heard this sentence, he couldn't hide the annoyance on his face.

It's just that he was about to speak, but Qiu Chen, who had been silent, opened his mouth first: "The blood and flesh are closed, and the children are called aunt or aunt, it's just a title, what does it have to do with being close and estranged!" ”

This is only said to the aunt, but the aunt is not mentioned, and it is obvious that the aunt is far away, but the in-laws are connected, and they can't get close to anything. It's not that Qiu Chen's attack is too wide, but it is really that after seeing Zhao's other sister-in-law enter the door, she has a wooden face, and she doesn't even owe a smile, as if someone owes her a few hundred taels of silver...... How do you look at it, how depressed, where is this the expression that should be on the door to congratulate?!

After Qiu Chen said this, the smile on his face kept hanging, and at the same time, Yang Shumeng said that there were still guests to greet, and went straight out.

After finishing speaking, Qiu Chen didn't pay attention to the expression reaction of the melon strip face, and said to Junzhang's grandmother with a smile: "The aunt of the Zhao family is tired of rushing over all the way, right?" Come and sit on the kang...... It's good to take a look at our little six children nearby, you see this kid, he is very strong, and his crying voice is also bright, and he is measured when he hears it. ”

The old lady of the Zhao family was naturally happy when she heard this, but she let Qiu Chen with some restraint: "Auntie, you sit first, you sit ......"

Finally let the old lady of the Zhao family sit on the edge of the kang, and then turned back to say a few words to the two sisters of the Zhao family, Chunxiang and Yuegui helped the mother-in-law in the Zhao family's room to bring tea up, and Qiu Chen found an excuse to retreat from the Zhao family's room.

The door curtain fell behind him, and Qiu Chen heard the melon in the house complaining to the Zhao family: "His second aunt, you are too good-tempered, how can she go back to her mother's house to point fingers when she marries a daughter?" Besides, if the widow is unemployed, she should avoid such a good day, so that she doesn't have to get into bad luck......"

"Ma'am!" Yuegui has a simple and straightforward temperament, because Qiu Chen treats her well, she is full of Qiu Chen and the Lin family in her eyes, and when she heard someone say it almost to her face, she immediately turned red with anger, and when she saw Qiu Chen silent, she couldn't help but scream in a low voice, and said, "I went in and scolded her, I actually dared to offend the official with the people, and my wife is a three-grade person!" ”

Qiu Chen shook his head with a smile, raised his feet and continued to walk out, and said lightly: "I was bitten by a dog, do you want to bite it back?" ”

Yuegui was stunned, hurriedly followed, and said, "...... But you can't just let her insult her, right? ”

Qiu Chen paused, turned his head to look at Zhao's room, poked Yuegui's finger and smiled, "Who said I let her be insulted?" ”

Yuegui couldn't react in a daze, Chunxiang saw that Qiu Chen was about to walk to the main courtyard, and hurriedly pulled a stunned Yuegui, and said in a low voice: "You don't see it, my wife must have a plan in her heart...... If we don't understand, don't think about it, and wait for my wife's instructions. ”

There is no need for Chunxiang to say this, Yuegui is actually acting only on Qiu Chen's orders, so she naturally nodded her head, folded her spirits, and followed Qiu Chen back to the main courtyard.

Back in the main courtyard, there were also many mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law here who were laughing and flattering around the Liu family and the Zhou family, and when they saw Qiu Chen coming in, most of them naturally got up to salute and wanted to let go, and then even if the chaotic straightforward and embarrassing flattery smashed over, Qiu Chen really couldn't bear it.

I heard a cousin say, "...... Oh, your little six is a blessed one, with such a capable aunt as Begonia, she was born to be a young master's life, and she will enjoy endless glory and wealth for a lifetime in the future......"

Qiu Chen was quite unimpressed with this sentence, it doesn't matter how disgusted these people in front of her are, at this time, talking about Xiao Liu'er's blessing and pulling her up, wouldn't it reduce the Yang family's old and young to the mud?

So I finally couldn't help it, and said with a light smile: "Cousin, I don't dare to admit this sentence, our Yang family is based on benevolence and righteousness, and we stand up with virtue, my father and sister-in-law are loyal, kind, diligent and thrifty people, and even the Junwen brothers also know how to study and make progress...... If you talk about Xiao Liu'er's blessing, it is that he can be born in such a family, with such grandparents, fathers and brothers...... If you are not afraid of your jokes, the Yang family's life has just begun to flourish now, and there will be many better days in the future than this! You take good care of your body, and when Junwen and them marry in the future, and then Junwen and them add Ding...... You can be sure to come back and have a good time. ”

The old lady looked embarrassed when she said this, but she could only nod her head again and again. With Qiu Chen's words, the flattering words that were headless and mindless just now were temporarily stopped. Qiu Chen saw that they were all a little speechless, so he simply turned his eyes and instructed Yuhe, who had been standing behind Liu's family, to say, "Speaking of which, we have built a new house, haven't you seen it?" …… Yuhe, you lead you to the courtyard...... Come back, it's time to take a seat. ”

Yuhe was already smart, and when he heard this, he hurriedly agreed and led everyone out. Come to think of it, I won't bring this group of people back until the banquet is opened.

Qiu Chen exhaled a long breath at this time, sat down on Liu's kang, and sighed: "Mother, these people are really ...... If you know the way, you will invite a troupe or a book to come first, and the people who come will send it over, and it will save you so much noise......"

Before he finished speaking, someone outside came in with a loud voice and laughter, and Qiu Chen hurriedly waved his hand at Liu: "Mother, I'll go and help my sister-in-law see ......if the return gift is ready."

This time she has a long memory, and if there is such a thing again, she will not say anything to get involved...... In comparison, it is as easy to deal with as melon strip face, and a word can shut her up, but these flattering words don't cost money, they can't be angry, and they can't say anything to shut them up, this is the real guilt!

Leaving Chunxiang and Yuegui to serve the old lady, and then any guests came to take them out to see the house, Qiu Chen entered the inner room, and then slipped out of the side door of the ear room, and went straight into the back garden from the corner of the house.

"Daddy......" Qiu Chen cried out with a smile, catching a glimpse of the embarrassment flashing on Old Man Yang's face, he quickly changed the topic, looked at the tomatoes planted in the garden and said with a smile, "It's better than the persimmons you planted, they are all bigger than ours." ”

One sentence successfully solved the embarrassment of Mr. Yang, and also successfully changed the topic, Mr. Yang began to introduce the various vegetables he planted quite proudly, and at the end he picked a red tomato and handed it to Qiu Chen for her to taste, the father and daughter talked and laughed very easily, but some things can't be avoided after all. Soon, Yuegui walked in and announced that it was time to open the table.

The Yang family has not had such a happy event for several years, seeing that the life of the Yang family is getting more and more popular day by day, not only many villagers and neighbors, but also many relatives who have not moved for many years have also come to the door, and there are too many people, and it is obviously not possible to arrange a table in the house, so a dozen or so square tables were set up at the gate to entertain guests. As long as you come to congratulate you, you can come and eat. After eating stubble after stubble, this is the flowing water seat of the farmer's house, mainly to entertain neighbors and distant relatives, as for the more important banquet in the house, it is to entertain closer relatives and friends.

Qiu Chen and Old Man Yang were a little reluctant, but they had no choice but to wash their hands and turn back to the front yard. It's okay for their father and daughter to be clean for a while, but if they really hide, they are too ignorant.

The father and daughter just turned the corner of the house, and happened to meet Yang Shumeng, as soon as they saw Qiu Chen and Old Man Yang, Yang Shumeng seemed to scream without surprise, so he let Old Man Yang go back to the house first, and took Qiu Chen, who was one step behind, away from the door and window of the main house, and instructed in a low voice: "Just now Junzhang's two aunts said that they want to collect Luo Buma like our family, and then sell it to our family." Your sister-in-law pushed on you in a moment of confusion...... But I tell you, these two women, one bitter and mean, the other vicious and vicious, could never agree. If anyone wants to enter the workshop or something, you can't agree......"

Seeing that Yang Shumeng was busy and anxious, his forehead and sideburns were full of sweat, he couldn't help but smile and comforted: "Second brother, don't worry, I have something to wait for them, and I won't promise it." ”

Yang Shumeng thought about it, my sister has seen more now, and her ideas are bigger, so she is just unbearable to those people, if she really opens her mouth to make a move, where can those people accept. relieved, Yang Shumeng naturally hurried to the front to greet him. Although the children are over the twelfth day, most of them are women and mothers-in-law to congratulate, but there are also a few relatives and close friends who will be accompanied by men, and the eldest brother is busy not coming back, and the old man is impatient to take care of this, so he has to greet and send him off in person.

Qiu Chen watched his second brother go in a hurry, lowered his hands and straightened his clothes and was about to enter the house, when he saw a family member hurrying into the front yard, and when he saw Qiu Chen, he hurriedly reported: "Mrs. Gu, two cars came to the door, saying that Anyang Chengyun Mansion and Liao Mansion came to send congratulatory gifts." ”

Qiu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, remembering that Old Man Yang and Liu's birthday had been celebrated before, and Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing had personally congratulated him, and this time the little nephew was on the twelfth, and it was not surprising to send someone to congratulate him. So he asked, "Who is here?" ”

"Mrs. Huigu, Yunfu is a small maid with two mothers-in-law, and Liaofu is two mothers-in-law."

Qiu Chen nodded, groaned slightly, and let Chunxiang come into the house to say hello to Liu, and then went to the front yard. The Yunliao family came to visit, looking at her face, and the others couldn't take care of it at this time, so she should go over to see her.

The main room in the front yard was naturally overcrowded, and Qiu Chen asked for the east wing to meet the people of the Yunliao family. The little guy from the Yun family was not surprised by the knowledge books around Yun Jichen, and the four mothers-in-law were all seen by Qiu Chen before, so he sent the four mothers-in-law down with a few polite words. Zhishu was a step slower, and lowered his voice to report to Qiu Chen: "The first batch of internal shower gel and shampoo has been shipped...... The Yishui River workers also changed from conscription to recruiting workers, and people voluntarily applied for recruitment, and paid according to the amount of earthwork, but recruited many young people from surrounding prefectures and counties, and even young people from Henan and Shandong to come to work, and the labor force was much more abundant than before, and the work no longer needed to be supervised by soldiers and soldiers to supervise the work from time to time......

Since Qiu Chen was awarded the three grades, the others have not yet been realized, but the Di Bao does not need to be sent separately by the Yun family, and she naturally has the share she deserves to be delivered on time. Therefore, now the news sent by Zhishu is more about the local affairs in Anyang, as well as Yun Jichen's instructions and the like.

Hearing that the matter of the river work was so properly arranged, Qiu Chen was sincerely happy.

Immediately I heard the book: "The people who were killed and wounded before also said that the deceased would each receive a pension of five taels of silver and be exempted from ten years of forced labor; The wounded were not given two taels of silver, and were exempted from forced labor for five years. ”

These words made Qiu Chen choke, but he still said with a high spirit, took a silver coin and rewarded it, and called Qin Li to give him the book to be placed in a good meal.

Seeing that Qin Li took the Zhishu down, Qiu Chen spit out a breath of relief, and couldn't help but show a sigh on his face. A young man who is likely to be supported by the whole family dies, what can he do if he gives five taels of silver, and how long can he make the orphans and widows use it...... A life is only worth five taels of silver!

She couldn't tolerate her sighing, and soon someone came to report, saying that the Guo Mansion, Tang Mansion, and Wu Mansion in Anyang City had also sent congratulatory gifts, and then some squires and businessmen who were not familiar with it but had also come to congratulate them...... Qiu Chen simply asked Chunxiang to bring the Chen family, she met with the families of several families in the Guo Mansion, the Tang Mansion and the Wu Mansion, and the rest of the people were handed over to the Chen family to take care of the entertainment.

Fortunately, these people also saw the embarrassment of the Yang family's small place and lack of manpower, and after coming to congratulate and putting down the congratulatory gift, they took the opportunity to say goodbye and leave. Qiu Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Because of the congratulatory guests from various provinces, Qiu Chen found a good excuse and didn't go to sit at any table with those people, and after that, the Chen family brought someone to send a few dishes, and the master and servants used it in the east wing, and washed it again, listening to the noisy send-off outside, she took the girl back to Erjin, and showed her face when Liu and Zhou sent those seven aunts and eight aunts away.

Gua Manzi's relatives have all left, but the Zhou family and the Zhao family, who are relatively close, have not left.

Zhao's mother and sister-in-law both drank alcohol, so they were naturally placed in Zhao's west house in the West Cross Courtyard to rest temporarily, and the Zhou family had to take care of everything at home, and they had no time to accompany their mother's family, so the people of the Zhou family naturally stayed in Liu's house to talk.

Zhou's sister-in-law kept looking at Qiu Chen from just seeing him, and at this moment, everyone sat down, and she finally couldn't help but ask: "Aunt Junwen, I heard that you went to Qinghe during the epidemic last year...... Do you know a gentleman whose surname is Qiu? ”

Qiu Chen didn't hide it when he came here, and besides, several people in the Zhou family were also kind and simple people, so he pressed the hand of the sister-in-law of the Zhou family and said in a low voice: "My cousin is Qiu Chen." ”
