Mrs. Chen had happiness on her face: "It is said that there are many sons and many blessings, in fact, God treats me well, although I have only given birth to a child in Zhongqiu for so many years, although your father has taken a few concubines, but there is only one boy in Zhongqiu under your father, although I have no daughter, but God has let me have a daughter who is so well-behaved as you, do you say that God treats me well." ”

Zhao Canniang listened quietly, Master Chen was really good to Mrs. Chen, and she didn't know what Master Chen did to Mrs. Chen before.

But now, what Zhao Canniang sees is that Master Chen is accommodating to Mrs. Chen's affairs, and he shushes Mrs. Chen every day.

"My father is really good to my mother, if my father knew to be kind to my mother, my mother would not have worked so hard, and my mother would not be so tired."

Zhao Canniang sighed a little in her heart, thinking of the things that Zhao Quanfa had done to the Qin family before, Zhao Canniang felt uncomfortable.

If a woman meets a man like that in her life, she will really be ruined.

Mrs. Chen knew what kind of person Zhao Quanfa was before, and asked with a sigh, "How is the matter between your mother and Shopkeeper Zhang?" ”

Mrs. Chen also knew about the Qin family and the shopkeeper Zhang, and Zhao Canniang would occasionally mention one or two sentences.

"My mother still can't tie the knot by herself, and she still can't let go of it in her heart." Zhao Canniang said with some concern.

Mrs. Chen shook her head helplessly: "Your mother's temper is still a little stubborn, I told her about this last time, I think the shopkeeper Zhang is good, and he is also considerate, and your mother is not short of silver now." The two of them won't have too much interest together, but I think the two of them can give it a try. ”

Mrs. Chen was worried about the Qin family because of the family's shop.

Zhao Canniang explained: "Shopkeeper Zhang also has silver on hand, and there are more than 100 acres of land outside the city. There are houses in the city and outside the city, and my brother gives a lot of dividends to the shopkeeper a year. Silver is not the most worrying thing, my mother is afraid that when the time comes, outsiders will say that the east and the west are the same. ”

The Qin clan was indeed most worried about this.

Mrs. Chen let out a "hey". Then he said: "Actually, Canniang, you can send your mother to other places, Qingfeng has also opened so many shops outside now, find a reason for your mother to leave Baiyun County, maybe so that your mother can put down her heart and be with the shopkeeper Zhang, after all, your mother always has too many scruples in Baiyun County, so even if the shopkeeper Zhang works hard, it is impossible to catch up with your mother." ”

Mrs. Chen was very serious, and Zhao Canniang felt very reasonable after hearing it.

If you stay here, it will indeed be like what Mrs. Chen said. The Qin clan was always worried about here and there, and it was impossible for the two of them to have a chance to be together at all.

Zhao Canniang was helpless: "I'll go home in two days, and discuss with my brother, anyway, my sister-in-law is almost full moon, and most of my brother's business is now in Yucheng and Wangcheng, if you can do this, you can temporarily hand over the business to my uncle to take care of, and ask my mother to go to Yucheng with my brother, and then call Zhang Shopkeeper to go to Yucheng to help my brother, so it may work." ”

Mrs. Chen smiled and nodded: "This method is good." Your mother is a good person, and I also hope that she can be happy in the future, and the older people get, the more lonely they will be. ”

When she said this, Mrs. Chen did not say any more. Zhao Canniang understood what Mrs. Chen wanted to say.

"Mother, there is another thing I want to tell you."

Here, Zhao Canniang gave Mrs. Chen a very happy conversation.

On the other hand, Chen Zhongqiu was very nervous and busy checking the grain in the warehouse.

The bags were opened, and Chen Zhongqiu's face became more and more ugly.

The guy on the side said very seriously at this time: "Childe's bag also has a problem." ”

And right behind Chen Zhongqiu. There were more than a dozen open pockets of grain.

"No need to check, go and call all the bosses who provide us with food. I remember that there was also someone called Shangguanfu. ”

Chen Zhongqiu's face was serious, and it seemed that most of the partners had problems.

The guy hurriedly retreated.

An hour later. The guys came back one by one.

And the official is already waiting in the warehouse.

There were also a few businessmen standing on the side who provided Chen Zhongqiu with food.

"The boss of the Gongzi Zhaoyuan Rice Shop has already fled with the fine soft, and Boss Li outside the city was stopped by us when he ran, and now he is outside."

When the man said this, the bosses who were unaware of the situation turned pale one by one.

Only two or three expressions are normal at this time.

"The reason why the official brother called you here is because these businessmen are confused one by one, these rice and miscellaneous grains are all food sent to the border soldiers, because the matter is urgent, plus so many years of cooperation, I believe them, and the grain sent has not been checked, if it weren't for the guy who mistakenly opened a bag of rice today, and found that the rice in it was not only old rice, but also moldy rice, I didn't know that these people's conscience was so bad."

Chen Zhongqiu said with righteous indignation, and the official sent bags to carefully inspect them.

The face is not good-looking, and the courage of these people who dare to attack the grain and grass has to be said to be very big.

At this time, Boss Li, who had escaped and was arrested, was escorted in.

Chen Zhongqiu's face was ugly.

Boss Li couldn't help but calm down when he saw that there were several bosses he knew in the warehouse.

"Boss Chen, why did you arrest me here?" Boss Li was not afraid when he arrived here, and asked angrily.

Chen Zhongqiu smiled coldly: "Why do you want to arrest you, I'll find out later." ”

Chen Zhongqiu glanced around, except for Boss Pan, who had already escaped, several bosses who did business with him were here.

"I called you here today, the reason I just said, the sacks used in the food provided by each of your families are different, Boss Li, the tail of your family sack likes to be sewn with black twine, and the lower right corner of the bag has a Li character written with a brush."

Chen Zhongqiu remembers the characteristics of the goods sent by each family.

Boss Li was a little surprised, he didn't expect Chen Zhongqiu to know this detail.

"Yes and what." Boss Li said in a loud voice.

Chen Zhongqiu glanced at Boss Li, and there was a disappointment in his eyes.

"So what? You can say this so reasonably, Boss Li, we have been doing business together for seven or eight years. It used to be my dad who was doing business with you, and now it's me. You can't bully me when I'm young, shoddy and want to get by! ”

After speaking, Chen Zhongqiu walked in front of a pile of grain. The piles of grain in front of me were piled up with large sacks.

"Boss Li, come over and see if it's your Li family."

Chen Zhongqiu pointed to the grain pile.

Boss Li was not very far away, and after a glance, he recognized that the pile of grain in front of him was theirs.

"It's our family." Boss Li still admitted loudly.

Chen Zhongqiu said to the guy on the side: "Immediately move a bag down and open it." ”

After Chen Zhongqiu finished speaking, the guy immediately moved a bag down and opened it in front of everyone, the white rice was mixed with a lot of yellow rice, and the musty smell from the bag could be smelled when he got closer.

"Boss Li, do you feel a little familiar when you see these rice?" Chen Zhongqiu's voice was cold, almost emotionless.

Boss Li glanced at the rice in the bag, he asked his subordinates to do this, but now it is like this. Even if you can't admit it!

Boss Li said confidently at this time: "The bag belongs to our family, but the contents of it, who knows if you did it." ”

Boss Li spoke loudly, and he was not weak at all.

Since Chen Zhongqiu was going to investigate this matter, he naturally thought of a way to deal with it.

"Since you admit that this bag belongs to your family, as for you saying that the contents of the bag are not yours, I will not defend it, big brother Guancha."

Chen Zhongqiu turned around and shouted respectfully to the official behind him.

The people standing behind him were all officials from Baiyun County, because the guy sent out by Chen Zhongqiu to ask for an official errand said that something big was going on here. Therefore, as long as there are no officials on duty in the yamen, they all come.

"If there is anything, please tell Chen Gongzi directly." The official still respects the Chen family very much.

Chen Zhongqiu then said: "I know that what I say now is useless, they all have a chance to defend themselves, and besides, the things have been in my warehouse for several days, and it is indeed a little unclear whether it is black and white. ”

Chen Zhongqiu said it righteously. It's also very reasonable.

The official almost nodded, agreeing with what Chen Zhongqiu said: "Then what is Chen Gongzi going to do?" ”

Chen Zhongqiu continued: "What I want to say is that since the rice in my warehouse is not clear. And what about the rice in the other side's warehouse? I'm sure they have the same goods in their warehouses as mine. The big brother of the official is related to the body of the border soldiers, and I can't be careless. I implore the official brother to take a trip and see the warehouses of these bosses. It should be regarded as returning my innocence, and also returning everyone's innocence at that time. I'm sure you won't mind if you look at the warehouse. ”

Chen Zhongqiu said that these words must be said very justly, and the official nodded and felt that it was very reasonable: "Chen Gongzi said it very well, this matter really can't be sloppy, the soldiers at the border pass are our benefactors, our relatives, they shed blood and tears at the border pass, we can't let them not even guarantee their basic life, we have a lot of people coming today, leave one person and the rest will go to the warehouse with your people." ”

Chen Zhongqiu gratefully bowed his hand to the official, that grateful look was not Chen Zhongqiu's pretend, in fact, Chen Zhongqiu was really angry about this matter.

The head of the Black Panther Sect is so hard and tired at the border pass, risking their lives to defend hundreds of thousands of millions of people in the rear of the Ancient Zhou Kingdom, but now these businessmen are doing such a thing for their own interests, and they are not angry in their hearts, it is false.

The official messenger left directly with the people.

Of course, those bosses will be taken with them, because they must be guided.

Chen Zhongqiu also followed Shopkeeper Li to Shopkeeper Li's warehouse with the official errand.

Because Shopkeeper Li is the person who provides Chen Zhongqiu with the most food, Chen Zhongqiu also knows the most about the warehouse.

The storekeeper Li's warehouse is in a house outside the city.

Because the houses in the city are expensive, as a budget-conscious shopkeeper, Li is reluctant to spend so much silver.

Shopkeeper Li's face had changed on the road, and there were several other shopkeepers who had done something to food like Shopkeeper Li.

Chen Zhongqiu didn't say much when he saw Shopkeeper Li's expression, but quietly followed him into the courtyard.

As soon as I walked into the yard, I saw some guys packing together the best rice and the yellowed rice.

Then it's bagging and bagging.

The musty smell rushed directly to the noses of several people.

The pungent smell is even for the guys who are there. I couldn't help but cover my nose with a white cloth and didn't dare to breathe deeply.

When the official saw such a situation, there was still something he didn't understand.

The men saw an official coming. One by one, they all stopped what they were doing, and stood in place in a daze looking at the officials who rushed in one by one.

"Boss Li, what else do you have to say?" Chen Zhongqiu roared angrily.

The official is not soft at this time. directly tied Boss Li's hands behind his back.

"Escort me back to the government, and the rest of the people stay to check how much adulterated rice and coarse grains there are." The official said to the two officials behind him.

Two hours later, Chen Zhongqiu returned to the warehouse tiredly.

The guy looked at Chen Zhongqiu, who looked tired, and hurriedly asked, "How is the young master?" ”

Chen Zhongqiu was greedy, and then said: "Several bosses who have adulterated have been sent to the government, and the remaining two or three bosses who have not participated in this matter have also returned home. We resolutely cannot allow the soldiers at the border to eat the food that is in question. ”

Dragging her tired body home, Zhao Canniang brought the ginseng tea that had been prepared long ago to Chen Zhongqiu.

After Chen Zhongqiu finished drinking tea, Zhao Canniang walked in front of Chen Zhongqiu, then picked up Chen Zhongqiu's hand and gently pressed it on her stomach, and then said softly: "The baby moved today, and my mother and I both felt it." ”

Zhao Canniang's face was happy when she said this, only those who have experienced it know that special feeling, Zhao Canniang didn't feel much when she saw Chen's bad boy before. But now when it was her turn, she felt so deeply in her heart.

Chen Zhongqiu had a smile on his face, as if he felt that the fatigue of today's day had dissipated at this moment.

"Did he really move?"

Chen Zhongqiu was a little happy, but he also felt a little incredible. Zhao Canniang nodded: "It's moving, I basked in the sun this afternoon, and he seems to feel it." It's happy in my stomach. ”

After Zhao Canniang finished speaking, Chen Zhongqiu also put his face on Zhao Canniang's stomach.

"I feel so blessed now, you can be by my side. And with the kids, I really feel like it's enough. By the way, thanks to your reminder, Canniang's matter today almost happened to something big. ”

Chen Zhongqiu habitually came back every day to tell Zhao Canniang what happened outside.

When Zhao Canniang saw Chen Zhongqiu say this, she asked suspiciously: "Tell me what is going on." ”

Outside, a little maid walked in, still holding a letter in her hand.

"Childe, this is a letter from the porter outside, saying that a small house came in, saying that it was an urgent matter and asked to hand it over to Childe."

Blue Butterfly took the letter and handed it to Chen Zhongqiu.

Having never encountered such a thing before, Chen Zhongqiu opened the letter in front of Zhao Canniang.

When Chen Zhongqiu read the letter, he gritted his teeth and said angrily: "The Ke family is really too much, and it is really a plan after plan, so it seems that if we don't collapse our Chen family, we will definitely not give up."

After Chen Zhongqiu finished speaking, Zhao Canniang snatched the letter in Chen Zhongqiu's hand and stood aside to look.

The letter said that this time the incident was actually because the Ke family sent people to persuade them to be shoddy, and they also gave them benefits in the middle, but the only condition of the Ke family was not to let Zhao Canniang and them know.

As for how the secret was revealed in the end, it is not known.

Zhao Canniang sat on the stool on the side and said, "The Ke family is too much, this time they actually thought of such a trick, but they didn't expect that after they did this, they actually let Aunt Xia come here to stage this conspiracy." ”

The more Zhao Canniang continued, the more her eyes narrowed dangerously, and she really hated people who were scheming everywhere.

Chen Zhongqiu snorted coldly: "It's a pity that so many bosses folded in this time, when I went to check the warehouse today, half of the grain was in trouble, fortunately you reminded me at the beginning, I went to see it, otherwise our family would have really planted it this time." ”

Zhao Canniang pouted and looked at Chen Zhongqiu, and then said: "I told you to check the grain and grass at the beginning, but you just don't believe it, you see that something is going to happen now." ”

After Zhao Canniang finished speaking, she stood up: "I prepared bath water for you, and we will talk about it after you finish bathing, you will feel more relaxed after taking a bath." ”

After taking a bath, Zhao Canniang peeled another fruit for Chen Zhongqiu and put it away.

Blue Butterfly had already gone out, and there were only Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu in the room.

"Zhongqiu, what did you say about this letter?"

Zhao Canniang read the letter from head to toe just now, but when she thought of the person who sent the letter behind her, she was kind, and she didn't want Chen Zhongqiu to know who wrote it.

Chen Zhongqiu walked to the edge of the table, picked up the fruit on the table and ate it, and with his other hand, he picked up the letter on the table and looked at it carefully, and then the corners of his mouth hooked.

"I know who wrote this letter, but I really want to thank him, I'm afraid he wrote it at great risk!"

What Chen Zhongqiu thought of in his heart was one of the unadulterated shopkeepers, Mr. Kang.

"How do you know who wrote this letter?" Zhao Canniang asked suspiciously, but her voice was full of curiosity.

Chen Zhongqiu nodded, and then said: "I know who wrote it, but I really thank him, I checked all the rice today, and their family is one of them that is not adulterated, the character is absolutely good, and the relationship between our two families is also good on weekdays, but because they are busy with their respective businesses, there is no more contact." ”

Chen Zhongqiu explained carefully.

Zhao Canniang sighed: "In mid-autumn, I always feel that if the Ke family is not eliminated for a day, we will not be at ease for a day." ”

Zhao Canniang felt that they shouldn't be soft-hearted anymore.

Chen Zhongqiu nodded: "I understand what you mean, but you have also seen the Ke family, it is not as easy to deal with as imagined, this time if I guess correctly, the Ke family should have lost a lot of silver, but you see, the Ke family does not seem to have been affected much."
