Chapter 060: Chance
Chen Qiuniang chewed the conversation between Jiang Fan and Jiang Hang back and forth, and suddenly determined a few things:
First of all, Jiang Fan's so-called task must have been sent by Zhang Ci. Secondly, according to Liu Cheng's desire to talk in the carriage, Zhang Ci's purpose in asking him to escort him was to inquire about her. Otherwise, Jiang Hang and the others all said that Jing Liang was a miracle doctor, and the people in the Zhang Mansion were very trusting, so how could they call the son of a country man when he was escorting.
Not only that, Jiang Fangang's words also showed that this Zhang Ci indicated to the people around him that her belonging was hers and that others could not touch it.
Phew, the most annoying thing is the self-righteousness of the children of the powerful, who think that they are so great that they can control the life and death of ordinary people.
"Hmph, if that Zhang Ci is too much, I don't mind letting him know what life is." Chen Qiuniang muttered to herself, then took a deep breath, calmed down, and then strode to Wan Sanniang's house.
Wan Sanniang is weeding in the vegetable field. Chen Qiuniang stood on the edge of the vegetable garden and asked, "Third aunt, are you busy?" ”
"It's not yet time to be officially busy, and if the rice in this field is covered with grain, that's busy. Qiu Niang came to me, but is there something? Wan Sanniang said with a smile.
"The third aunt is good, and she thinks most about our family. I guess the third aunt also knew about last night's incident. Chen Qiuniang said, and looked at Wan Sanniang's expression.
Wan Sanniang nodded, sighed again, and said, "If you call me a third aunt, I will also say from the bottom of my heart, your father was injured like that, but it is also a blessing." At least she won't always beat you, and she won't force your grandmother to gamble with anything in exchange. It's just that it hurts you, your father's temper, and it is estimated that serving him is enough for you to feel uncomfortable. And although Koyanagi Langzhong is righteous, it's not good for you not to give him some consultation money. I don't think Mrs. Liu is a kind person. ”
Chen Qiuniang stood by the vegetable patch, and when she saw that Wan Sanniang did not beat around the bush, she also said bluntly: "The third aunt is always sympathetic to my family's situation, and she also knows my family's difficulties. Therefore, I came here today to ask the third aunt to help me and tell Aunt Hua whether the divorce can be done quickly. ”
When it came to the surface, Wan Sanniang did not hide it, and immediately sighed and said, "It's not that I don't want to." My cousin asked someone to pass the word, and the Zhu family is now in trouble. The son of the second master of the Zhu family, who has been missing for several years, has come back and is grabbing property with you, the eldest son of Zhu. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to talk about divorce at this time. ”
Chen Qiuniang said with a smile. Originally, she just came to urge Wan Sanniang to urge Li Taohua to help her get out of the marriage, but she never thought that someone would justifiably rob Zhu Wenkang of the family wealth, so now the price of this jade ring is different, and now it is the right time to withdraw from the marriage, Chen Qiuniang was very happy, so she smiled and said: "Third aunt, this is the right time." ”
When Wan Sanniang heard this, she let out an "oh" with a puzzled face and asked, "How is it suitable?" ”
"It wasn't a good day ago. That's the right time. Originally, I thought that Zhu Wenkang was the only one in the Zhu family, and the rest of the descendants were just uncles, and they had no heirs. Then Zhu Wenkang is going to marry the official lady of Chengdu Mansion again, and his worth is even higher, and it will definitely be okay to win the property of Zhu Mansion. But now, suddenly a second uncle's son jumped out to divide the family wealth. If he didn't have overwhelming evidence of persuasion, and his force couldn't compare to others, the Zhu family's property would definitely be swallowed up. Chen Qiuniang lowered her voice and analyzed to Wan Sanniang.
Wan Sanniang really didn't understand, so she said anxiously: "You said it directly." Don't talk about that. ”
"Well, third aunt, the jade ring in my hand is worn by the old man. A few days ago, the old man felt that he was dying, and he felt that my family was down, and he was not worthy of his grandson, but he was worried that I would make trouble with this jade ring, so he asked Aunt Hua to withdraw from the marriage. I also heard my grandmother say that in order to show sincerity, the Zhu family used one of the tokens of the head of the family. This token is recognized by everyone who has business dealings with the Zhu family. You said that at this moment, Aunt Hua went to give Zhu Wenkang advice, and it was justified to take this jade ring back to get all the family wealth. That's not just the fifty taels from the old man Zhu who slammed the door before. Chen Qiuniang talked to Wan Sanniang. Wan Sanniang's eyes immediately lit up, grabbed a handful of grass and rubbed the soil on her hands, and said, "I'll go to Liuhe Town in a while, Peach Blossom should come back from Chengdu Mansion." ”
"Then there is Aunt Lao. However, please also ask the third aunt to talk to the peach blossom girl, but you must let Zhu Gongzi know that this is Aunt Hua's plan to help him. Chen Qiuniang confessed that she was really afraid that a scoundrel like Zhu Wenkang would know that she was making suggestions, and what kind of ghost would come up to add chaos to her already chaotic life.
"Don't worry." Wan Sanniang said while straightening her skirt. Then he stretched out his hand and said, "Why don't you give me the ring and I'll take it with you?" ”
Chen Qiuniang shook her head and said, "This can't be, I have to see Zhu Wenkang personally put down the big seal of the divorce letter before I can give it." ”
Wan Sanniang pursed her lips and said angrily: "Okay, you don't believe me, this old woman, my old bones." ”
"It's hard work." Chen Qiuniang took advantage of the situation to salute.
"That's it, that's it. I'll help you run this trip, who made us neighbors. Wan Sanniang said in a high-sounding voice, and in Chen Qiuniang's thanks, she ran home with strange steps.
Chen Qiuniang watched Wan Sanniang go over, and thought that the divorce was staged because of the drama of the Zhu family's competition for property, and this time it would definitely be inseparable. This divorce is successful, and the money for the settlement fee is always there. Although the two vampires, Wan Sanniang and Li Taohua, will take most of it, they can finally ease the Chen family's economic situation.
Chen Qiuniang only felt a little relaxed at this time, in the warm sunlight, she raised her head and closed her eyes, and let out a long breath. The breeze came slowly, blowing warmly, the low sound of the wind in the ears, and the smell of plants flourishing all around.
The air in this time and space is fresh, if life is not so hard, you can go everywhere to find top ingredients, visit famous chefs, and live such a happy life. Maybe you will meet the right person and have children for this life. Maybe you can't find it, so it's with good food. Perhaps in the end, it will leave its name in the gastronomic annals of this dynasty.
These things are wonderful to think about. However, there are still so many difficulties at the moment, and there are still heavy responsibilities on my shoulders, the future of four children, and the happiness of an old lady in her old age. Although her career has a direction, she doesn't know how to get started.
"You have to work harder. Come on, rush forward. Chen Qiuniang muttered to herself and raised her arms to cheer for herself. Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a person standing not far away, looking at her.
That person was the man in black surnamed Liu, the one who hunted down Zhang Ci. When he saw Chen Qiuniang open his eyes, he walked over and asked, "Is your father back?" ”
"Yes." Chen Qiuniang replied, secretly thinking that the whole village knew about last night's incident, could he not know? He didn't have anything to say.
"I went to Wuli Town yesterday, and it was getting late, so I didn't come back. As soon as I came back, I heard about it. I want to go to your house and see you here from afar. He said, in a very ordinary tone, but it seemed to be very familiar with Chen Qiuniang.
Am I that familiar with this man? Chen Qiuniang asked herself in her heart, but her face was sad, and she sighed and said, "Since the fall of my family, I haven't been to Wuli Town. ”
"There's nothing to go to, a mountain town." The man in black said, as if comforting.
"Well, it's not as good as Liuhe Town." Chen Qiuniang nodded in agreement, but she thought in her heart that she couldn't have too much contact with this person. When she first met, she was just blindly scared, plotting how to deceive this person, ignoring his eyes. And in these few meetings, Chen Qiuniang always felt that this person looked at him very strangely, as if he was looking at another person through her.
This person's identity is a member of the imperial court, and he chased and killed Zhang Ci for thousands of miles. And the people of the Zhang family must have known that he did it, but they only greeted him in the open, as if they had met in a foreign country.
This man is certainly not ordinary, nor is he simple. Chen Qiuniang has always warned herself to have less contact with him. Therefore, after she finished saying the sentence "It's not as good as Liuhe Town", she immediately looked in the direction of her house and said, "Uncle must know that my father had an accident, and now Xiaoliu Langzhong is still treating my father's injuries at home." I have to go back, grandma's legs are inconvenient."
She muttered a long time, and the man waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." ”
If Chen Qiuniang received amnesty, she immediately ran home. When Chen Liushi saw her come back, his face collapsed, and he said unhappily: "Your father is like that, you are still running around, you are happy." ”
"Grandma, I'm on business." Chen Qiuniang held back her temper and replied in a good voice. She knew that Chen Quanzhong was no longer loyal and unfilial, and he was also the biological son of Chen Liu's family, and no matter how filial she was, she was just a child brought back by someone else's family. Now that her biological son is injured because she is looking for a granddaughter to adopt, she must feel sorry for her son in her heart, and she is a little resentful of this granddaughter who is not at fault.
"Hmph, what could be more serious than your father? You don't want to take a look. Chen Liu was not even pleased.
"Grandma, I went to Wan Sanniang, and when I got out of the marriage, I could take some money to take care of the family. Now that my father is recuperating at home, I naturally have to spend money. Besides, Koyanagi Langzhong, even if you don't pay for the consultation, you have to pay for the medicine. Chen Qiuniang still patiently explained.
When Chen Liushi heard her, he couldn't say anything more, only urged her to go and see his father quickly. Chen Qiuniang didn't want to see Chen Quanzhong, but Liu Cheng tried his best to treat it inside, and he didn't even eat breakfast. She, as the master, can't help but take a look.
She walked in, Chen Quanzhong's face was bloodless, he had no strength, and the whole person was crooked on the bed with his eyes closed, thinking that he was asleep. Chen Qiuxia was still sitting on the side holding his hand, her face full of nervousness and fear.
"Big sister." Seeing Chen Qiuniang coming in, Qiuxia shouted.
Chen Qiuniang shook her head, signaling her not to wake up Chen Quanzhong, and then asked Liu Cheng and Chen Quanzhong's injuries. Liu Cheng was engrossed in it, and only said that he would do his best, and if he broke a bone, he had to pick out the bone chips, otherwise he would be in pain forever in the future. As for whether you can walk or not, this is not certain.
"How long will it take?" Chen Qiuniang asked in a low voice.
"It's going to be about two or three hours." Liu Cheng replied, not squinting, concentrating.
When Chen Qiuniang heard that it would take so long, she asked Qiushenghou to help on the side, and she picked up the fishing tackle again and went fishing. I still went to the whirlpool for the purpose of fishing for whitewater fish. RS
