Chapter 174: Parting
Lee's Mozhuang.
Early in the morning, Zhenniang got up early, washed up, took the little head to the backyard, and was about to go to the ink shop to have a look, when she heard the cough of her grandfather in the north house. I couldn't help but be a little worried, so I went into the kitchen.
Zhao also got up early in the morning, and was following Dao Po and Ma Sister-in-law in the kitchen at this time, at this time, Dao Po and Ma Sister-in-law were having breakfast, while Zhao was squatting on the side of the small stove boiling pear paste candy.
Zhen Niang leaned into the kitchen and asked, "Mother, grandpa is coughing again." "My grandfather's cough is an old problem, it used to be worse than this, and then the family life was better, I invited a doctor to recuperate, and I raised it for a while, but it was a lot better, but during this time, because I wanted to study the matter of the Li family's Sihemo, my grandfather did everything himself, that is, the cigarette material, which he burned out with a few people.
His cough was not visible at all, so the cough became worse during this time.
"But no, I coughed all night last night, this pear paste candy was brought by Wen Qian from the capital, I heard that it is good for coughing, I don't get up early in the morning to boil it." Zhao said, and then said to Zhen Niang: "Zhen Niang, you also persuade your grandfather, his body can't touch the smoke, don't let him enter the ink shop in the future." ”
"Mother, it's not that you don't know grandpa's temper, he just wants to study this Sihe ink so that he can participate in next year's Gongmo election. I don't know how many times I tried to persuade me, it was useless, and if I said more, my grandfather would get angry with me. Zhen Niang was also a little helpless, her grandfather had such a temper.
"Your grandfather is really, it's good to be able to get this Sihe ink thing. But if you can't get it, don't fight with your life like this. Even if it's to fight for tribute. It's not that we don't have haode ink, we have to have four-fold ink. Zhao couldn't help muttering.
"You know what? The ones that Zhen Niang got are not the real Li Mo, and our Li family has to use the Li family's specialty ink products if we want to compete for tribute. At this time, the old shopkeeper Li walked out with his clothes on his face and said with a serious face.
Hearing the old man's words, Zhao didn't dare to say more.
"This time, your third grandfather Cheng can be regarded as winning a haode form for the Li family, we must not miss it." At this time, the old shopkeeper Li turned his face to Zhen Niang again.
"Grandpa. I understand. Zhen Niang nodded busily, but she made up her mind, no matter what, during this time, she has to pay attention to her grandfather, take care of his body, if grandpa doesn't listen, let dad send grandpa back to Huizhou, there is grandma staring, grandpa can listen a little.
Then Zhenniang helped her grandfather to sit down on the side. Wait for him to wash.
At this time, Xiaoya led the Luo family's sister-in-law Ping'an in. As soon as the sister-in-law entered the door, she stuffed the two still warm eggs in her hand into Zhao's hands: "Auntie, the freshly born eggs of the Luhua chicken at home are fresh, make up for the old man." ”
Ping'an's sister-in-law is adhering to Luo Wenqian's instructions, and she will go to Li's house to walk around more when she is free, and Ping'an's sister-in-law is also thinking that the kid in the family will definitely rely on Wenqian in the future, Zhenniang is Wenqian's future daughter-in-law, she can't talk to Wenqian, so she has the mind to walk around with Zhenniang's family more.
And the Zhao family thought that their daughter would marry into the Luo family in the future, and she would have to rely on the help of these concubines of the Luo family, so she was also happy to walk around with Ping'an's sister-in-law, at least she could learn more about the Luo family.
After coming and going, Ping'an's sister-in-law and Zhao's family are getting more and more harmonious.
Therefore, Zhao did not accept the eggs politely, at this time, Ping'an's sister-in-law pulled a stool and sat next to Zhao, took a fan to help Zhao's fan stove, and then said with a chattering face: "Auntie, have you heard?" The girl of the Tian family and the third son of the Xu family are married. ”
"Really? Why didn't you hear a little wind before? Zhao asked stunned. When the Xu family fell in love with Zhenniang before, before anything happened, the rumors came out, why did the two families get married at this time, and there was no rumor at all?
How did the Zhao family understand that it was the Xu family who first fell in love with Zhenniang, but it was impossible for a family like the Xu family to do "breaking knots and handing them over", so they let out the rumors, in order to let the Li family come to the door first.
And now, the Tian family is the first to come to the door on the Tian family's side, so when the family matter is undecided, the Xu family naturally has to cover it first, and now that the family matter is decided, in two days, everyone will know.
"It's true, it's still the thread that the aunt of the Wang family helped pull, I heard that the Tian family gave the aunt of the Wang family a big gift. The rumor hasn't come out yet, and it is estimated that in the past few days, everyone will almost know about it. Ping'an said. Aunt Wang is now a relative of Luo Wenqian, although it was not very pleasant because of the last time the Wang family's aunt came to help Tian Ronghua talk, but for Aunt Wang, Luo Wenqian is still more respectful, but Luo Wenqian has a bad relationship with the Wang family, and he will not go to the door of the Wang family, so he secretly let Ping'an's sister-in-law go to the Wang family to see Aunt Wang when she is free.
Sister-in-law Ping'an only heard the news yesterday when she went to visit Aunt Wang's house. So early in the morning, I came to gossip with the Zhao family again.
"Oh, then congratulations to the Tian family." Zhao said, although the Xu family's own family is not rare, but no matter who it looks at, the Tian family's family business is high, and it is transmitted back to Huizhou, I don't know how many people will be envious of death.
And Zhen Niang listened on the side, although she was a little surprised by this matter, but it was also reasonable, the Xu family fell in love with Li Mo at the beginning, and the Li family did not mix, and now it is natural to turn around and look at Tian Mo, I am afraid that this time the Tian family will bleed a lot.
It's just that I have to think about the ending of the Xu family, and the Tian family is afraid that they will inevitably be implicated. I feel that the Tian family has been drilling into a dead end without looking back since their own fight.
Of course, how to go about the Tian family's reasoning, that is the matter of the Tian family, and Zhen Niang will not care. It's just that then again, now that the Tian family has the support of the Xu family, I am afraid that the competition for Gongmo will be fierce next year, and she will have to wake up the spirit of twelve.
However, with Grandpa Cheng San's situation this time, next year's tribute to Mo, he is not afraid of what the Tian family will do in this regard.
On the one hand, the old shopkeeper Li couldn't listen to these short family members, and saw that breakfast was almost ripe, and he didn't see Li Jingfu come out, so he asked a little unhappily: "Jingfu's daughter-in-law, why hasn't Jingfu gotten up yet, and he's lazy again?" Go and call him up. ”
"Dad, Jingfu is not in the house, he is in Yihousheng, last night, Wen Qian came to say, he was going to go to Shizhou, Shanxi today to discuss a business, because Jingfu walked through the road in Shanxi, he invited him over, while eating and drinking while inquiring about things along the way, he didn't come back when he talked late." Zhao explained.
On the other hand, Ping'an's sister-in-law also said: "Well, Uncle Jingfu had already gotten up when I came over, old man, I'll just call here." As she spoke, she got up and said goodbye.
And when Zhenniang heard that Luo Wenqian was going to Shanxi, she was a little unsettled.
This year, it is already the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the whole society, in addition to the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River and the capital of the city, many places are not peaceful, of course, from the whole long line, the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and the period of Longqing and the early years of Wanli is relatively calm, so there is a Wanli Zhongxing in later generations.
"Grandpa, there shouldn't be any tartars over there in Shanxi, right?" Zhen Niang asked her grandfather, Luo Wenqian used to go out to run business, and Zhen Niang didn't feel anything, which businessman didn't run outside. But now that she is married, the feeling is a little different, not to mention anything else, at least as soon as she heard that Luo Wenqian was going to Shanxi, she immediately wanted to know the situation in Shanxi now.
Just like in later life, when she was studying outside, her mother often didn't care about the weather forecast at home, but paid attention to the weather forecast in her city every day.
In short, there is a kind of family care.
"I heard that Xuanfu, there are often Tartars on the Datong side, as for Shizhou, far away, the Tartars basically won't come, but that side is the land of Luliang, and there are many bandits." Old Shopkeeper Li thought for a while.
Zhen Niang breathed a sigh of relief, it would be done without a tartar, as for the bandits, the business has a business, at most they will leave to buy road money, plus most of the caravan guards under Luo Wenqian have dug gold with him, and their skills are no worse than ordinary bandits, so there is no need to worry too much.
It's just that Zhen Niang didn't know that she didn't care about the military in her previous life, and she didn't know that in the next not far September, the Ministry of My Answer traveled thousands of miles, slaughtering 50,000 men and women in Shizhou, so to speak, at this time, the border defense of the Ming Dynasty was a pit.
"By the way, Jingfu's daughter-in-law, didn't Jingfu say that someone from the Qin family was coming this year? Why didn't you come? "Speaking of Shanxi, Li Cai's shopkeeper can't help but ask about the Qin family in Shanxi, after all, Li Jingfu's life was saved by the Qin family, and this kindness must be remembered.
"Well, the Qin family hasn't come, Jingfu has written to ask, it seems that there is something at home that can't leave." Zhao said.
Old Shopkeeper Li nodded.
At this moment, Li Jingfu and Luo Wenqian came over together. Seeing Luo Wenqian and knowing that he was going to go far away, the people on the Li family's side couldn't help but have to say a few words. Luo Wenqian responded one by one.
Zuihou Li Lao shopkeeper asked, "When will you leave?" ”
"I'll leave in a moment, come and say hello." Luo Wenqian replied, then turned his face to Zhen Niang, but said very naturally: "Don't worry, I am familiar with the checkpoints and connections along the way." ”
"Oh." Zhenniang nodded, squinted and chuckled, and her heart was inexplicably peaceful.
Luo Wenqian came here to say goodbye, and after this farewell, he was about to leave.
"Wait a minute." When Zhenniang saw that he was about to leave, she remembered something, so she called out, and then trotted back to the house, and took out a pair of shoes that had just been made from under the pillow.
These shoes were just set to be married, and the flowers and the little girl sewed them with her, which were fine and dense mille-feuille bottoms, which really took her a lot of effort, and they had been placed in the house for a few days, and they had not found a suitable opportunity for him, and this time it was a good time.
Thinking about it, Zhen Niang came out with her shoes, and when Luo Wenqian followed, she stuffed the shoes into his hands.
Luo Wenqian's eyes lit up, grinned, put his shoes into his arms, and patted them with his hands to show that he would cherish them, and then bowed to the old shopkeeper Li and the others, and turned to leave.
