Chapter 232: Case Closed
Zhao Canniang nodded movingly: "Brother, I know, you can leave quickly!" Finish the business as soon as possible, and if there is anything you need help with, don't just say it. ”
Zhao Canniang said very seriously.
Zhao Qingfeng smiled: "Little girl, don't underestimate your brother, your brother is also a man who can stand up to the sky now, I know you care about me, don't worry, if there is anything I need your help with, I will not be polite." ”
Zhao Canniang sent Zhao Qingfeng out of the courtyard with a smile.
It wasn't until noon that Chen Zhongqiu came back with a happy face.
Zhao Canniang saw Chen Zhongqiu's expression and knew that things should be developing for the better.
As soon as Chen Zhongqiu entered the room, he said with a smile: "Although there have been a little twists and turns, fortunately, things have been resolved. ”
Chen Zhongqiu looked a little happy.
Zhao Canniang handed Chen Zhongqiu a handkerchief to wipe his hands, and then sat down: "What happened, listening to your tone, it seems that something really happened." ”
Chen Zhongqiu wiped his hands and gave the handkerchief to Lan Die on the side, and then sat down and said with a smile: "At the time of the court trial, the prefect sent someone to call the prefect down and said a lot in private, but Song Huai and the others have already confessed, and the prefect did not listen to the prefect, according to the original law of the trial, the person sent by the prefect is called good-looking." ”
Chen Zhongqiu felt a little relieved when he thought of this.
Zhao Canniang looked at Chen Zhongqiu with a smile, and then said, "As long as the matter is done, didn't Aunt Xia go to court to make trouble?" ”
According to Aunt Xia's temper, Zhao Canniang didn't believe that Aunt Xia would be able to sit still.
Speaking of this, the smile on Chen Zhongqiu's face was even worse: "Aunt Xia naturally won't watch Song Huai being taken to prison. made a lot of noise in the court, and finally was helped out of the court by Song Qinglian. ”
Chen Zhongqiu finished speaking. Zhao Canniang laughed: "As long as Song Huai and them can get the punishment they deserve, I don't have anything else to ask for." ”
"But Canniang, I always feel that this matter is not over yet. You see, what we thought before was that this matter should have something to do with the Ke family, and the prefect sent someone to intercede, which proved this, and Song Huai should have been used by Ke Tianlin this time. ”
Chen Zhongqiu thought of what had happened recently, and he was vaguely worried in his heart.
Zhao Canniang nodded: "Indeed, if this matter has anything to do with Ke Tianlin, Song Huaiyin should be used." ”
Chen Zhongqiu stretched his waist, feeling a little tired, after all, he was in the court. Either kneeling or standing.
"I don't want to do this anymore, it's just that after this time, we and Aunt Xia's family have completely become enemies."
Chen Zhongqiu couldn't help but recall what happened when he was a child, and the relationship with Aunt Xia was still very good at that time.
and Song Qinglian can be regarded as having played since childhood, although they are not childhood sweethearts, but the relationship is also good, and now that it has become like this, whether it is Chen Zhongqiu or Old Man Chen, they are a little uncomfortable.
Zhao Canniang saw the regretful expression on Chen Zhongqiu's face and smiled slightly. Then he said: "Don't think about it, this matter is always that the Song family is sorry for you, and it is not that you have failed the Song family first, such relatives will be gone!" Look at that family of our relatives. Now there are a few left. ”
Zhao Canniang was in a bad mood, in fact, although she didn't care about some things, she actually had a plan in her heart.
Chen Zhongqiu walked to Zhao Canniang's side. Holding Zhao Canniang's hand: "Don't think about it too much, it's like the words you persuaded me." At least now the two of us are fine, and that's enough. ”
Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory. It's a place where everything is done, and there's a place where everyone likes it.
Zhao Canniang was also more content: "By the way, seeing that there are only a few days left, how is the grain and grass you prepared?" ”
Chen Zhongqiu nodded: "It's almost ready, we will start loading the car in two days, and we will start sending them away when the white dart master is rested." It's just that Canniang, we don't have much money to flow. ”
Grain and grass need to be bought with silver, and all that is taken out is cash, so it is natural to buy so much silver for so much grain and grass flowers.
In the Chen family's business, as long as there is money earned, it is invested in grain and grass, and now it is a little difficult.
Zhao Canniang frowned: "Didn't Zhenbao Zhai sell things out recently?" ”
Chen Zhongqiu shook his head, and then smiled bitterly: "No, I think it's a little weird, the things in Zhenbao Zhai should be very easy to sell, but I don't know what's going on in the recent past, those treasures in Zhenbao Zhai seem to be unsellable, I think there is a problem in the middle, I want to check it, but I don't have time recently." ”
When Zhao Canniang heard this, she was very worried: "You mean you think there is a problem in the middle?" ”
I don't know if Zhao Canniang is sensitive, she always feels that there is a shadow of Ke Tianlin in the middle.
Chen Zhongqiu nodded: "I think it's a bit of a problem, you think that even if the treasures in the treasure house are not easy to sell, but the other things in the treasure house will not be a problem, now the matter is here, and the other things in the treasure house are not easy to sell, that feeling is like our guests are being blocked." ”
When Zhao Canniang heard this, the worry in her heart became even worse: "Zhongqiu, do you say that this matter will be the Ke family." ”
Zhao Canniang is a little sensitive now.
Chen Zhongqiu's face was a little heavy: "I don't know if this matter has anything to do with the Ke family, no matter what, I decided to start investigating this matter tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and a lot of business has not been very good recently." ”
Chen Zhongqiu has been busy preparing grain and grass recently, but he also knows a little about other businesses.
Zhao Canniang could only sigh: "Leave the matter of Zhenbao Zhai to me, you manage the matter of grain and grass, pay attention to a little bit of safety, the matter of grain and grass last time is a lesson, seeing that the grain and grass are about to be sent away, don't fall short." ”
Ke Tianlin is crazy in Zhao Canniang's eyes.
In the afternoon, Zhao Canniang did not forget to go to the Qin family.
Because they were leaving, the Qin family and the Chen family had been busy packing up their things recently.
In fact, there is nothing to take away, after all, it can be bought over there in Yucheng. It's just that some things are a little reluctant, and I feel that it is troublesome to take them away. The two hesitated to pick and choose, and time passed.
Shopkeeper Zhang made a big decision this time. If you want to go with the Qin family, what the shopkeeper said is that you can find the true love of your life at dusk, so no matter what, the shopkeeper just wants to be with the Qin family and be able to stay together until old age.
Zhao Canniang walked into the courtyard, but saw that the Qin family's courtyard was messy.
Qin Shi was wearing a dark purple brocade skirt, and his head was simply pulled up with two gold hairpins, and he sat under the shade of the tree. Looking at what is in front of you and worrying.
As soon as she saw Zhao Canniang coming, she immediately stood up and said, "Canniang, you are here, quickly help your mother take these things and those things that need to be taken away."
Qin's face was sad.
Zhao Canniang stepped forward and began to inspect the things piled up in the yard.
The more Zhao Canniang became, the more helpless she became: "Isn't it still ten days before you leave, why did you start cleaning up so early, and you can't plan to take all these things away, right?" ”
Zhao Canniang looked at the things piled up on the ground with some coldness.
Not to mention the clothes, the key is the vase and the wooden table, do you really need to take these away? If all these things are taken away, it will be a complete move.
Seeing the surprise on Zhao Canniang's face, the Qin family frowned helplessly: "Mother is just reluctant to give up these things, but they are actually not very valuable." It's just simple reluctance, look at this vase, it was you who gave me last time, and these clothes. The fabrics were all sent by you, as well as by your brother and your sister-in-law, and I was afraid that I would not wear them out for a long time. I feel like it's a bit too much to take things away. ”
Qin's face was depressed.
Zhao Canniang laughed when she heard this: "Mother, I actually know that these things are very meaningful, but I think so." There's really no need to take these things away, you look at this vase. If you want to bump all the way on the road, it's easy to break, if you can't bear these things, pick out the important ones, such as the things I gave you, find one you like and take it away, stay with you as a thought, lock up everything else, and find it when you come back later. ”
Zhao Canniang said and began to turn up the things on the ground, each of which seemed to have commemorative significance as long as it was given to the Qin family by Zhao Canniang.
Qin listened carefully to what Zhao Canniang said next to him, and after a long time, he said: "Okay, I'll listen to you, take away the things I am most reluctant to, and lock up the rest, by the way, I don't want to take away a lot of jewelry here, you see how to deal with it." ”
Qin Shi pointed to the box on the side and said.
In the past, there was no silver at home, and even the silver hairpin felt extremely precious, but after having silver, Zhao Canniang and Zhao Qingfeng both wanted the Qin family to dress up beautifully, so every time they saw something good, they would buy it back for the Qin family.
Zhao Canniang picked up the box, and then said: "I see that these things are kept, these are not heavy, I will take them back and put them there in my place, if there is a shortage of silver in the future, I will take them out and sell them." ”
What Zhao Canniang said was a joke, but the Qin family gave Zhao Canniang a blank look: "You girl, every time you grab any good or bad words, you start to say it, how can you use the silver, don't say these words again in the future." ”
The Qin clan has a good chance of these things.
Zhao Canniang nodded with a smile, but she was very worried.
"By the way, mother, this time you went to Yucheng, you can go to find the third aunt, I think the third aunt is much better now than before, because she shouldn't be as insatiable as before, and there is also a person to talk to over there."
Zhao Canniang is actually still not at ease.
Qin Shi smiled and nodded: "I know all this, your brother has told me, I don't have anything to worry about leaving, I am mainly worried about you, you are here alone now, your mother and brother are not around, but you have to take care of yourself and your children." ”
They all say that they are their own mothers, and the Qin family is like this, no matter how good the Chen family is to Zhao Canniang, in the heart of the Qin family, they are still not at ease.
Zhao Canniang nodded with a smile and said, "Mother, don't worry, there is a godmother here, and when things are done, I will go to Yucheng when I have time." ”
Baiyun County is a little limited, if it weren't for the reluctance of the Chen family master and Mrs. Chen to leave here, Zhao Canniang might have let Chen Zhongqiu move to Wangcheng a long time ago.
After all, in a big place, the opportunities will be greater, and now in Baiyun County, it is very troublesome to deal with outside things every day.
Qin nodded: "That mother is waiting for you in Yucheng." Hey, I don't know if I can come back in the future, no matter what, I hope you take good care of yourself. ”
"Mother, you can rest assured. I'm not a little girl now, I'm a mother. Even if I don't think about myself, I think about my children! Mother, you ...... with the shopkeeper."
Zhao Canniang stopped here when she said this.
Qin's face turned red, in fact, in private, the Qin family and Shopkeeper Zhang had reached a unified opinion, and they would get married when they left Baiyun County.
"Can Niang, do you say that it is really right for your mother to do this?" There was a slight doubt on Qin's face.
She listened to a lot of gossip, after all, Shopkeeper Zhang often went in and out of Zhao's mansion, and it was inevitable that something unpleasant would come out outside.
It's just because I think about Zhao Canniang and Zhao Qingfeng's persuasion and entrustment, and I don't want to face these in my heart, which is equivalent to the current Qin family paralyzing itself.
Zhao Canniang knew that the Qin family was because there was still a knot in her heart that had not been untied, and as long as the knot was untied, there would be nothing to do.
"Mother, you're thinking too much. You won't say anything when you're together, I asked my mother, does the shopkeeper have no main house now? ”
Qin nodded.
Zhao Canniang smiled: "Are you not a husband now?" ”
Qin then nodded.
Zhao Canniang immediately said: "That's right, Shopkeeper Zhang doesn't have a main house, now marry you to make you the wife of the main house, and your filial piety period has long passed, besides, that person was so sorry for you before, do you still want to guard him for the rest of your life?" In my opinion, these are stupid, have you done anything to be sorry for Zhao Quanfa. You are free now, you can do whatever you want, and you really don't have to listen to the gossip outside. The mouth grows on other people's bodies, and there are all red and white words, do you have to take care of them one by one? ”
Zhao Canniang's words made the decision in Qin's heart even firmer.
"Actually, Canniang, these are whether it's you or your godmother. Or Mrs. Chen persuaded me like this, Shopkeeper Zhang is a good person. It's not bad for my mother, but my mother said that if she didn't want to be tempted, it must be fake. Just thinking about his situation, there are so many children and concubines at home, my heart feels a little guilty. ”
Shopkeeper Zhang's choice now is equivalent to abandoning everything in the family and leaving with the Qin family, such a sacrifice must be great.
Zhao Canniang smiled slightly and continued: "I also said earlier, he is the wife who married you as the main house, mother, let me ask you, are you willing to stay in Baiyun County with Shopkeeper Zhang and face those annoying things together, or are you willing to go away with Shopkeeper Zhang to live in a foreign country?" ”
People are selfish, and so is Zhao Canniang, she is not a virgin who can't satisfy everyone, she only knows that she can't be sorry for herself in what she does in this life.
Naturally, she didn't want the Qin clan to face those annoying house fights.
If the shopkeeper Zhang has feelings for those concubines in the family, it is good to say, but the problem is that the shopkeeper Zhang has no feelings for those concubines at all, and Zhao Canniang later learned that those concubines were actually carried into the main house by the shopkeeper Zhang.
The reason is that the lady of the main house who died before the shopkeeper Zhang was in poor health and could not have children, so she carried so many concubines into the shopkeeper Zhang.
The shopkeeper doesn't come back often, and every time he goes back to rest for a night, he will leave.
For so many years, in the words that the shopkeeper told Chen Zhongqiu, he spent a lot more time sleeping in the restaurant than at home.
When Zhao Canniang heard this, it was still unclear, but I was afraid that the shopkeeper Zhang had no memory of that home in his heart.
Qin's heart is not willing to face those annoying things, she just wants to live a simple life: "Canniang is a mother's tendon, every time you need to mention something with your brother to be normal, in fact, I know these things in my heart, hey, don't talk about it, I discussed it with your brother and Shopkeeper Zhang, and on the first day before leaving, I invited everyone to get together and talk about me and Shopkeeper Zhang, which can be regarded as a banquet." ”
Zhao Canniang has no opinion on such an arrangement, after all, it is not the first time to get married, and there is no need to make a big deal, it is best to be simple.
"Okay, do you need my help with this?"
Qin shook his head: "Your sister-in-law can arrange this matter, and your godmother will also help, but you don't need it, by the way, you didn't suffer from yesterday's incident!" ”
Zhao Canniang shook her head: "No!" They knelt down for a while last night and left, and we didn't go out at all. ”
The Chen Mansion is not far from the Zhao Mansion, and if there is something over there, we will know it in a while.
The farce between Aunt Xia and her daughter at the door last night, the Qin family was afraid that they already knew about it last night.
"It's okay if there's nothing wrong, those two mothers and daughters are really difficult, and when I see them, I can't help but think of your deceased grandmother."
Zhao Canniang walked to the chair on the side and sat down: "I don't worry about them in the future, the Yamen has closed the case today, and Song Huai and a few people have been imprisoned." ”
After Zhao Canniang finished speaking, Qin's heart was relieved: "As long as the case is closed, is your arm injury good?" ”
Zhao Canniang nodded: "Okay, it's scabbed, as long as you don't pull it hard, it should be fine soon, mother, you don't have to worry." ”
The Qin family also sat next to Zhao Canniang at this time; "Canniang is actually honest, I used to look forward to leaving here, but now I'm a little reluctant to leave, what's going on with this?"
Zhao Canniang stretched out her hand and touched Qin's hand, and said with a smile: "You have lived here for decades, and you are naturally reluctant to leave suddenly, by the way, what happened to Qin Xue, my mother?" ”
Qin shook his head slightly: "What else, you don't know your uncle's temper, no matter what, as long as you take care of things, even your grandmother's words won't work, the child in Qin Xue's belly has been removed, and now she is recuperating at home, it is estimated that she will be sent to the nunnery after forty days, your aunt is now in the house, and she goes to your uncle every day to redeem it, but your uncle seems to have made up his mind this time, so the man still can't force it too hard, If your aunt had listened to persuasion, she wouldn't be what she is now. (To be continued......)
