On the afternoon of the second day, the little guy next to Zhong Chichun came to inform Wen Chunyi that the magistrate was married to a daughter, and Zhong Chichun would return later in the evening. Wen Chun nodded indifferently, but his heart overturned the pot. Yesterday, the magistrate just married a woman to a banquet in the restaurant, and today he continues to marry a girl, what kind of rhythm is this.

After the little girl left, Wen Chunyi looked sideways and saw Fang Chengjia's stunned expression, and when she saw her looking at her, she called out softly: "Young grandma, I'll go out and inquire about it." Wen Chunyi walked out of the door quickly, and she walked in circles in the yard. As a result, Fang Cheng's family came back quickly, and she told Wen Chunyi about the little girl: "After he went out, he just went to each house to inform you about your return tonight." Wen Chunyi nodded gently, since this is the case, then wait for the news. Sure enough, Mrs. Liu came the fastest, holding the clothes that were about to be completed in her hands.

Wen Chunyi hurriedly reached out to pick up the needlework hanging on her elbow, she shook her head lightly, her eyes swept directly to the stool under the eaves, she walked over quickly, and sat down in the guest seat. Wen Chunyi walked over slowly, she sat down with a smile, looked at Mrs. Liu and asked, "Sister Liu, do you know how many daughters of the county magistrate are of the right age to marry?" Lady Liu looked at her, shook her head lightly, and said, "The daughter of the magistrate has already been married, and I heard that she has already given birth to children. As for how many concubines there are, I really can't say. It's just that yesterday married a daughter and married a daughter today, is this a daughter remarrying, or two daughters marrying separately? ”

As Mrs. Liu spoke, her brows furrowed slightly, in recent years, the family is in need of silver taels, and this county magistrate has many daughters. After this marriage and retreat, her family's silver taels for the New Year were a little embarrassed. Lady Liu hurriedly lowered her head and did needlework, she opened her mouth and said to Wen Chunyi: "Sister of the Zhong family, this placket has been embroidered with green bamboo leaves, and how many bamboo knots do you want to embroider at the hem?" Wen Chunyi took a look at the clothes she was already closing in, and said with a smile: "I look at this pattern of clothes, they look so elegant, and there is no need to add anything superfluous." ”

Lady Liu's eyes flashed brightly, and when she took the job. I heard Fang Chengjia mention it once. Originally, I thought it was a person who said a word, but now I came over with the clothes that were to be completed, just to hear the spring to give a word of accuracy. After the last few stitches, she stood up and lifted her clothes. Wen Chunyi followed and got up and looked at it. Wen Chunyi looked at the style and stitches of the clothes. Take a look at the lace on the placket. She took the clothes with a smile and said, "Sister Liu, your hands are too skillful. The leaves were embroidered as if they had just been plucked. ”

Lady Liu sighed lightly: "I also learned the acupuncture method from my sisters in the past two years, if you want to learn, I will teach you after you have a child." Wen Chunyi shook his head lightly and waved his hand and said, "Don't, my mother has tried me countless times, and I just can't do this kind of fine embroidery in this regard." Wen Chunyi handed over the clothes to Fang Chengjia's hands and let her take them into the room. Wen Chunyi looked at the Liu woman who was browning, and remembered the people's contacts on the edge of the year, she whispered to her: "Sister Liu, you also know that there are many people in my yard, but there are no capable people on the needlework.

You did a good job, I want to ask you, is it inconvenient to take over my work in the future? A look of joy flashed in Lady Liu's eyes, this time Wen Chunyi made clothes for them, that is, the money for the clothes was paid according to the price of the cloth shop. She didn't have any other superfluous ideas, since she was doing the work in the cloth shop, she was doing the same work directly from Wen Chunyi's hands. She smiled and nodded and said, "Sister of the Zhong family, I won't be polite to you, you can see my craftsmanship, and I am willing to take over the work on your side." I also want to thank you, at least you remember that I am such a person, willing to give me a job to do, so that I can also supplement the family by the way. ”

Wen Chunyi's eyes fell on her clean hands, and the three clothes she handed back were all clean and tidy. Although Mrs. Liu is dressed plainly, she is a neat woman, and the children in the family are also clean when they go out. Fang Chengjia came out at this time, she was holding a money bag in her hand, she nodded at Wen Chunyi, and there was a satisfied look on her face. Wen Chunyi took the money bag in her hand, directly handed the bag to Mrs. Liu, and said, "You count, is the money enough??" Lady Liu blushed and took the money bag, and was about to put it in her arms, and opened her mouth to stop Wen Chunyi, saying, "Sister Liu, you still have to count."

Although our two families are close, but in terms of money, brothers have to settle accounts. Lady Liu had no choice but to pour out the silver particles in the money bag, she counted them carefully, and said with a smile: "The count is right." Wen Chunyi smiled and nodded to Fang Chengjia, and Fang Chengjia quickly entered the room and took out a burden. Wen Chunyi took it in his hand, handed it to Woman Liu and said, "This is the day of the New Year, you can take these pieces of fabric back to make clothes for the elderly and children at home." Mrs. Liu hurriedly stretched out her hand and refused, saying, "On weekdays, you have delicious things at home, and you always remember the children."

This life, your family looks more generous than ours, but you can't be so loose. Wen Chunyi directly stuffed the fabric into her arms, and said with a smile: "Your family has delicious food, and you have never lost a large portion of our family." Your old people come to your house for the New Year, and according to the friendship between the two of us, I should also go over to meet them. But my body was inconvenient, and people were too lazy to move, so I didn't look at the two of them. Now, with the etiquette of the New Year, you let me do this favor. Besides, our goods store sells its own cloth, which is cheaper than the fabric outside, so you can take it. ”

Mrs. Liu finally took it, and then she said to Wen Chunyi: "I have the decoction for bathing on the day before the New Year, I have it at home, I am afraid that some of it is not enough, and a while ago, I asked for some from relatives." On that day, I will send it over and teach you how to boil it into a decoction and use it in a bath. Wen Chunyi stared at her with wide eyes, and bathed the day before the New Year to welcome the New Year, this custom is logically the same everywhere. Is the small town of China different from other places? Woman Liu looked at her expression, and then looked at Fang Chengjia, who was staring at Fang Chengjia who was about to fall off, and she laughed.

She smiled and said, "You are here for the first time this year, and you don't know our customs here. On the day before the Chinese New Year, we would cook soup and potion for bathing at home. That herb is dried on the fifth day of May every year, specially used on this day, the words handed down by the elder generation, bathed with this decoction and potion during the New Year, everyone can ward off evil spirits in the coming year. Wen Chunyi remembered that she had heard people talk about customs before, she nodded with a smile and said, "Sister Liu, thanks to you for mentioning us, these things are too different from our Ancheng side." Lady Liu smiled and said what she had to do on the day before the New Year, and Fang Chengjia memorized it very carefully.

After Mrs. Liu went back, her three children quickly came over with a bunch of hay-like things in their arms, Wen Chunyi had the heart to get closer to smell the smell, and blocked her with a cold smile, she reached out to take the things in the children's hands, and listened to the eldest son of Mrs. Liu's family said with a smile: "Auntie, sister, my mother said that when you want to use it that day, she will come over to teach you how to use it." There is another thing, my cousin will send it in two days, and my mother said, when it comes, I will send it to you. Wen Chunyi hurriedly motioned to Fang Cheng's family to take sugar cubes for the three children to eat, and the three children waved their hands shyly and said, "When I came out, my mother explained that I couldn't take anything from my aunt's house." ”

The three children finished speaking and ran out as fast as they could. Fang Cheng's family only put the candy cube back, she said with a smile: "The children of the Liu family are clever, they are sensible when they look at each other, and they will help the family do things at a young age." Leng Ruo put away those herbs, she smiled and said to Wen Chunyi: "I took a look at those medicines, the medicinal properties are peaceful, and they are good for the skin. It's just that young grandma, you are a person with a body, and on that day, you should bathe in clean water. Wen Chunyi nodded lightly, even if Leng Ruo didn't explain this, she didn't dare to bathe in the decoction potion casually.

This night, Zhong Chichun came back still contaminated with wine, and looked at him with a calm expression. After he went in to freshen up, he drank a bowl of hangover soup as usual, with a slightly tired look on his face, and said to Wen Chunyi with a smile: "The county magistrate married his daughter again, and he still invited guests to the restaurant, and he changed the aunt of this concubine to take charge of things." Wen Chunyi felt that it was a little strange for the county magistrate to marry a daughter like this, she thought about it and said: "I used to hear people say that if you have money or not, it is better to marry a daughter-in-law for the New Year." But I have never heard anyone say that if you have money or not, you took advantage of the Chinese New Year to marry your daughter early. ”

Zhong Chichun laughed amused by Wen Chunyi's words, he looked at her with a smile and said, "Where did you hear this, why haven't I heard anything like this before?" Wen Chunyi glanced at him crookedly and said, "On the way from Ancheng to Chinan Town, I listened to it so casually and remembered it without thinking about it." Zhong Chichun looked at her with a smile, shook his head lightly and said, "Lord Zhixian has probably heard the rumors of others, and he is anxious, so he will take advantage of the fact that he is still in this position to quickly set up a slightly better family affair for the concubines." Wen Chunyi looked at Zhong Chichun very carefully, and asked in a low voice: "Lord Zhixian has been in officialdom for many years, and he will still believe rumors so easily?" ”

Zhong Chichun laughed and said: "It's not about it, it's hanging high, and when it's about it, it's already messed up." Actually, that kind of rumor, I've heard from them, has been circulating since last year. I look at the people above, in the near future, I still don't want to move the county magistrate, after all, since he served as the magistrate of the small city of China, it has been smooth here, and he is quite blessed as a parent official. Even if the above has the intention to let him retire with honor, the candidates must be carefully selected. Some shrewd people will not casually take over the position of the magistrate of the small city of China. Before the magistrate, during the tenure of the magistrate, the small town of Chinan had all kinds of troubles. (To be continued......)
