CHAPTER XXXV
As soon as Du Qiyue finished speaking, Qian Manshun and Zhou Chun'er ran over from not far away, grabbed Qian Yin and Qian Ling'er, slapped one person in the face, Qian Manshun gasped, pointed at the two and scolded: "Brother Yin'er, don't you think our family is embarrassed enough, and you still come here to make trouble, you don't want to be embarrassed, don't hurt our family can't live in the village." Qian Ling'er, there is no place to be sorry for you in our family, you are shameless, and don't pull Brother Yin'er together! ”
Qian Yin was a little blindsided by Qian Manshun's slap, he has never been beaten by his family since he was a child, let alone Qian Manshun, a man who has never been valued by Qian Dashan and Wu Cuilan, he didn't even dare to touch a finger of him, but now he beat him. Qian Yin only felt that his face was a little numb in pain, he hated Qian Manshun to death in his heart, but his face was full of pleading, crying and pulling Qian Manshun's arm and shouting: "Big brother, big brother, this is the way I do, you help me, help me beg Du Langjun to be good, I don't want to marry that old man, big brother, I don't want to be ruined for the rest of my life!" ”
Zhou Chun'er saw Qian Yin like this, hurriedly pulled his hand hard, and said: "Brother Yin, don't be like this, although you are brothers, but you are so old, it is not good to hold your eldest brother like this." ”
Qian Yin never does anything at home, and his strength is comparable to Zhou Chun'er, so Zhou Chun'er broke his hand off in a few days. Qian Yin saw that several families next door had already run out to see the excitement, he gritted his teeth and thought that he had no reputation at all anyway, so he simply fought hard, and immediately knelt in front of Qian Manshun with both knees, kowtowing and crying: "Big brother, big brother, can you save me, that rich man Zhou is already seventy or eighty years old, I am only a teenager, how can I marry such a person, big brother, I am your own brother, how can you bear to see me ruined for the rest of my life, you help me!" ”
Qian Ling'er also knelt down, kowtowed a few times and cried: "Brother Hall, save Ling'er, Ling'er doesn't want to marry that tuberculosis ghost, Ling'er doesn't want to marry that tuberculosis ghost!" ”
"What's the use of you begging me, what can I do?!" Qian Manshun watched the two of them knock their heads bleeding, and glanced over his head with some unbearable eyes.
Zhou Chun'er knew that he was easy to be soft-hearted, so he stood in front of Qian Manshun with his hands on his hips, and scolded: "You begged me to be in charge of a fart, I knew what I was doing now?" One who has a good marriage doesn't have to find some bastards in the town, and one who doesn't know how to take care of the housework well, and who is messy all day long, is happy now, one is going to marry an old immortal, and the other is going to marry a tuberculosis ghost. One by one, they are all made, and they are asking for their own hardships! ”
Where did Qian Yin and Qian Ling'er hear this, turned their heads and kowtowed to Du Qiyue, who was shocked by the development of the matter, and cried and begged him to marry them and beg him to save them.
"Du Langjun, I know you are a kind person, you can save me, that rich man Zhou has a few years to live, I can't marry him, you see that you will marry me under our love in the past few years, I promise to repay you as a cow and a horse in the future, you will be kind!" Qian Yin cried and begged Du Qiyue.
"Du Langjun, you can also save me, I am much more capable than my cousin, you marry me and let me do the work in the field, I promise to serve you well, you can be kind." Qian Ling'er also cried.
The movement here is too big, and many people who live nearby are running over with oil lamps to see the excitement, and the dim yellow light of the oil lamp is not too bright to shine on Qian Yin and Qian Ling'er's two heads, dripping with blood, and the sobbing faces make people look very disgusting. Du Qiyue couldn't help but take two steps back, and said in disgust: "I have made it clear, who you want to marry is your own business, the words of your parents, instead of begging me here, who is impossible to help you, you might as well go back and beg your family!" ”
After Du Qiyue finished speaking, he didn't wait for Qian Yin and Qian Ling'er to say anything, quickly unlocked the lock and hid in the house, no matter how noisy it was outside, he never went out again. Fortunately, the two didn't have a long fight, and they were pulled away by Qian Manshun and Zhou Chun'er about half an hour later. But because the two of them made such a fuss, Du Qiyue didn't sleep well all night, and had nightmares all night, in the dream, Qian Yin and Qian Ling'er became ghosts in wedding clothes, chasing behind Du Qiyue with teeth and claws to let him marry them, Du Qiyue ran desperately in his dreams all night in order to avoid the claws of the two, so that he was sore when he got up the next day, as if he had fought with someone all night.
Last night's incident was basically heard by the whole village, because of this matter, Liu Momo went to Du Qiyue's house early in the morning, sent Du Qiyue some breakfast, and told Du Qiyue the ins and outs of the matter by the way.
It turned out that Qian Ling'er's eldest brother Qian Hu lost 30 taels of silver in gambling a few days ago, and the people in the gambling house threatened to chop off one of his hands and one foot if he didn't pay it off within a month. He heard that there was a rich family surnamed Zhao in the town, because his only son had tuberculosis since he was a child, and he couldn't find a brother or girl from a good family to marry, so he wanted to buy a country brother or girl in his teens with an innocent family background and good looks for fifty taels to marry his son. Qian Hu felt that Qian Ling'er was suitable for the Zhao family's requirements, anyway, he also knew that Qian Ling'er had always wanted to find a rich family to marry, so he didn't seek Qian Ling'er's idea and found the Zhao family to sell his sister.
The Zhao family didn't agree immediately, and found a Shen matchmaker in the town who specializes in this kind of matchmaking, and asked her to ask Qian Ling'er to come to the town to see each other, and if Qian Ling'er really met their requirements, they were willing to pay. Qian Hu had no choice, so he had to think of a way with Mrs. Shen to trick Qian Ling'er into eating at a restaurant in the town, and then let the Zhao family look at Qian Ling'er in the restaurant.
Qian Ling'er didn't know that Qian Hu was going to sell him, and thought that Qian Hu was in a good mood after winning the money, so please let him go to the town restaurant to eat big meat rice, this has happened several times before, so Qian Ling'er didn't have any suspicion and dressed up beautifully and went to the restaurant agreed by Qian Hu and the Zhao family.
That day, Qian Yin went to the town to find Li Sicheng to explain the matter between himself and Du Qiyue, and wanted Li Sicheng to forgive him, who knew that Li Sicheng didn't care about the old feelings at all, and directly asked the guy to drive Qian Yin out of Shengcai Cloth Village, just for Qian Ling'er to see. In the past, Qian Ling'er had always been jealous of Qian Yin's scenery, but Na Cheng thought that Qian Yin would become discredited now, and Qian Ling'er took Qian Yin to the restaurant in order to show off her life in front of Qian Yin.
It was also Qian Yin's bad luck, that day the Zhao family and Mrs. Shen sat on the edge of the table was an old rich man surnamed Zhou, this rich man Zhou was over seventy years old, and there were one or twenty aunts and waiters, and there were a bunch of brothers and girls, but there was no one man. In order to have a master, the rich man of Zhou always has to marry one or two young aunts or waiters a year, and what he likes is a person with a weak appearance like Qian Yin, and he fell in love with Qian Yin at a glance. Before, he heard the conversation between the Zhao family and Shen Matchmaker, and knew that the Zhao family came to see Qian Ling'er and bought it home, so he thought that Qian Yin was also here to make people look at each other, and when he turned around, he asked Shen Matchmaker to go to the Qian family to propose marriage, saying that he was willing to spend fifty taels of silver to marry Qian Yin.
At first, the Qian family was naturally reluctant to listen to Mrs. Shen's words, not to mention that the rich man Zhou was already seventy or eighty, and it was estimated that he would not have a few years to live, didn't Qian Yin marry a widow, not to mention that the Qian family had opened a tofu workshop for so many years, and the family always had fifty taels of silver, how could he be willing to sell his baby brother.
But within two days, Qian Xiaoshun, the second son of the Qian family who worked in a grain store in the town, came back and said that he fell in love with a little brother from a Xiucai family in the town, and the Xiucai family said that as long as he could give a dowry of at least 100 taels of silver, he would marry the little brother to him, and then give the dowry 20 acres of fertile land and a shop in the town. Qian Dashan and Wu Cuilan were moved when they heard this, but their family could only come up with seventy taels of silver at most, where could they get a full hundred taels of silver.
Before he came back, he heard from the same villagers that a rich man was willing to spend fifty taels of silver to marry Qian Yin, so he persuaded Qian Dashan and Wu Cuilan to marry Qian Yin to give him a dowry money. Qian Dashan and his wife hurt Qian Yin the most, where were they willing to marry him to the rich man of Zhou, but they couldn't help but feel a little moved in their hearts. At this time, in order to marry Qian Yin, the rich man of Zhou actually sent Shen Matchmaker to say that he was willing to spend one hundred taels to marry Qian Yin, and he didn't need the Qian family to post a dowry.
This is a great thing for Qian Xiaoshun, he saw that Qian Dashan and his wife were a little shaken in their hearts, so he tried his best to persuade him. said that now with Qian Yin's reputation, no serious people are willing to want him, so it is better to let Qian Yin marry the rich man Zhou's family first, and then they will take the one hundred taels of the rich man Zhou to marry the little brother of the Xiucai family for him to go home. After two years, the little brother he coaxed transferred 20 acres of fertile land and the shops in the town to his name, and then the rich man of Zhou was almost dead, and as soon as the rich man of Zhou died, he went to the Zhou family to take Qian Yin home, and when he was pasted a rich dowry, he thought that Qian Yin could marry a good family for the rest of his life.
Qian Dashan and his wife had long been fascinated by those silver, fertile fields, shops and something, and immediately agreed to Qian Xiaoshun, without thinking about it at all, once Qian Yin was married into the door by the rich man of Zhou, he would be the servant of the Zhou family, and the Zhou family could buy and sell at will, even if the rich man of Zhou died, as long as his children did not agree, they would not be able to take back the money and silver at all, and even if the money and silver were sold, they would have no way to manage it.
When Qian Yin knew the news, Qian Xiaoshun had already told the rich man of Zhou, and he was so angry that he hanged himself as soon as his head was dizzy. However, Qian Yin did not die, and when he recovered in the past two days, he remembered that if Qian Xiaoshun wanted to sell him to the rich man of Zhou, he had to sign the deed of sale, as long as he did not sign and draw the charge for a day, the rich man of Zhou had no way to take him.
But Qian Dashan and his wife have been completely bewitched by the bright prospects that Qian Xiaoshun said, Qian Yin is unwilling to draw a charge, so they say in Qian Yin's ear every day that in addition to the rich man of Zhou, Qian Yin can't marry at all now, they are also for the good of Qian Yin, the rich man of Zhou's family is rich, and Qian Yin will be happy if he marries in and so on. said that Qian Yin thought that as long as he married someone immediately, he would not marry the rich man of Zhou, but who was willing to marry him, he didn't want to think about it, so he hit Du Qiyue with his idea, after all, the two used to have an old relationship.
On the other hand, Qian Ling'er was also forced by Qian Hu to marry into the Zhao family, she also thought that as long as she married someone, Qian Hu would not be able to force her, but she looked for the men who were good with her before in the village, and none of them were willing to marry her. It just so happened that she saw that Qian Yin was going to find Du Qiyue, she originally wanted Du Qiyue in her heart, and felt that Du Qiyue could afford to buy a donkey, and it was estimated that Qian Hu could pay back the thirty taels of silver owed by Qian Hu, so she followed her to Du's house.
After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Du Qiyue couldn't cry or laugh, he really didn't understand why Qian Yin and Qian Ling'er thought he would marry them, it was ridiculous. This qiē is completely self-inflicted by these two people, and no one is to blame, and there is no reason for others to help them. However, these two people have been pulled back, and Du Qiyue also left this matter behind, but later I happened to hear Liu Ge'er say that these two people were finally sold by their families, and there was no wedding, so they were directly pulled into two red cloth sedan chairs and taken away.
As the days passed, Du Qiyue's work in the back kitchen became more and more smooth, his skills were good, and he couldn't hide it, even if it was just an ordinary snack, the people who ate it could also distinguish the good from the bad, and gradually someone began to name him to do it.
Wufu Du Qiyue also went intermittently several times, but he never entered the Shuyu Courtyard again, but twice the weather was very good, when he went to the kitchen and passed by the outer courtyard, he happened to see Zhao Yiyun walking in the big garden in the outer courtyard, probably because the scenery in the garden was good, Zhao Yiyun looked much better, and he was also in good spirits. One of them, Du Qiyue also saw Zhao Yiyun fighting poetry with Wu Mingyao, and his radiant appearance at that time was really eye-catching.
On this day, Du Qiyue came back from Wu's mansion after making dim sum, and as soon as he entered the kitchen, he saw Chef Wei waving the rolling pin in his hand and scolding a guy who delivered food, which looked quite fierce.
"Don't go over, be careful of getting into trouble." Lei Cheng grabbed Du Qiyue and reminded in a whisper.
"Uncle Lei, what's going on, why did Chef Wei suddenly lose his temper so much?" Du Qiyue asked, Chef Wei's temper is indeed very bad, and he always has to get angry several times a day, but it is the first time Du Qiyue has seen such a big fire like today.
"There was a person from the He Family Dart Bureau outside, saying that their dart head He Boss's mother was going to hold a 60th birthday in a few days, and they heard that the dim sum of our Zuifulou was the best in Dahu Town, so they wanted Chef Wei to make a few fresh dim sum to taste, and if they ate well, they would invite Chef Wei to show his hand at the birthday banquet at that time, and be festive. Chef Wei is just that, what fresh snacks can he make, and he is afraid that he will offend Boss He if he can't do it well, so he is in a hurry to scold people here. Lei Cheng pouted disdainfully and said.
He Jia's dart bureau is regarded as the head snake of Dahu Town, and the dart head of the dart board He Boss used to be a person who mixed in the rivers and lakes, and he knew some of the three religions and nine streams, and later retired from the rivers and lakes to start the business of darts, and he took advantage of the previous relationship to entrench himself in Dahu Town, and he was a very powerful person in the local area. Although he is just an ordinary person in terms of identity, this Boss He is a person who doesn't even dare to offend the county magistrate of Dahu Town, after all, since ancient times, people in the rivers and lakes have looked down on people in the imperial court, and killing people and setting fires are even more casual, who knows that if he offends Boss He, he will not wake up the next day. Even the county magistrate thinks so, and ordinary people are even more afraid of Boss He and the people of the He Family Dart Bureau, who are all detours when they see it on weekdays, and now Chef Wei has been approached and entrusted with a heavy task, can you be scared of your heart?
“…… You know who Boss He is, how dare you let me provoke, if I can't do it well, who will the dim sum chef of this drunken Fulou find to make it? You go out now and say to that person that I am sick and can't do it, or that I am not here today, in short, it will be a matter of passing the past, what is the birthday banquet, I will not accept it, who knows if I will be hated by Boss He if I don't do it well? Chef Wei patted the table and said, resolutely refusing to agree to make snacks for the He family.
"But, I've already said that Chef Wei is here, and besides, that fierce and vicious man is staying in the store, even if I lie to him that you are not there or sick, he will come over and see that we lied to him, how good is this?" The guy said, trembling.
"How good is that!" Chef Wei was so worried that his whole face wrinkled, he squinted his eyes and looked around the kitchen, just saw Du Qiyue standing beside Lei Cheng, and immediately pointed at him and said: "You go and tell the man from the He Family Dart Bureau that it is not Chef Wei who will make fresh snacks in our Zuifu Building, but the new Chef Du, if you want to eat fresh snacks, you will find Chef Du to make them." ”
