Chapter 42: Wen's Decision

Seeing his son's virtue, Lao Qian couldn't help frowning and asked, "Jin'er, what happened, how did you make yourself like this?" ”

Qian Jin smiled and said, "Dad, help me greet Old Man Xiayun first, and I'll come when I go." With that, he went into the house and changed into clean clothes, shaved his beard with a dagger, and applied cold water to his face, and the whole person was cleaner.

In the past few days, he has figured out a truth.

The "Three Principles and Five Constants" are like appendages, which cannot be pulled out for a while and a half. Although Chen Lu did not explicitly say that a widow could not remarry, if Qian Jin married a silkworm girl, someone would definitely point fingers behind his back, and perhaps someone would attack him in the court. It was precisely when she figured this out that she chose to flee alone.

In the final analysis, it is because women are economically subordinate to men. If a woman is financially independent, this must be much more sufficient.

After the opening of Huajian Fang, Qian Jin hired several female workers, and the price was higher than that of male workers. This was his first attempt to challenge the 'woman's way'. In the future, he wants to let all the women in Chen know that as long as she is willing to go out of the house, she can find her own livelihood.

As for now, he first has to get the silkworm girl back. If he can't even protect his own woman, what will he talk about breaking the "Three Principles and Five Constants"?

At this time, Ding Wei's mother-in-law Wang had already led Wen's mother and daughter to the bedroom to settle down, and only Jin Taiming was left in the study to accompany Lao Qian and Old Man Yun to drink tea. Looking at the situation, this old man Yun and Lao Qian talked very happily, and Jin Taiming sat on the side and couldn't say anything.

When the money entered the house, Jin Taiming was finally relieved. He confessed his guilt and went to work.

"Old man Yun has worked hard all the way." Qian Jin saw that the old man Yun was full of dust, and his heart couldn't help but feel warm.

"The money waiter is out of sight. I had a great time with Ling Zun, and I was able to occasionally pass punches and kicks, and I was comfortable along the way. Yun Ying replied with an arched hand.

"In that case, then settle the rest of the money with the old man after lunch?" At this time, it was almost noon, and Qian Jin planned to leave after lunch to show his gratitude.

"I don't have to eat. I don't know if my girl has caused me any trouble in the past few months, but now that I've handed in the darts, I'll go back to the dart board. After that, Old Man Yun glanced at Qian Jin with complicated eyes.

Qian Jin coughed, for fear that he would mention Yun Sanniang's matter, so he hurriedly went to the silkworm girl's room and took two hundred taels of silver from him, and sent him out with Lao Qian.

Only father and son were left in the study.

"Dad, there are no twists and turns along the way, right?"

"Old Man Yun is an old man, with him, and he is on the waterway, this road is calm."

"That's good." Qian Jin smiled and asked again, "Old Man Yun...... He didn't mention anything special, did he? ”

"Something special?" Lao Qian thought for a while and said: "In addition to explaining some customs along the way, and then learning martial arts, what else can there be special?" ”

"That's good...... That's good. Qian Jin was reassured. I think that when Old Man Yun opened his mouth to Qian Jin, he called him a virtuous son-in-law, and Qian Jin was afraid that he and Lao Qian would give his life in private. Thinking of Yun Sanniang's sword-wielding angry eyes, he couldn't help but feel excited.

"This old man Yun is quite chivalrous, and I hate to meet him a little late. Hey...... I just heard him say that there is a girl at home, and I don't know if there is a marriage match. If you are in the boudoir, you can consider it. ”

"Daddy...... Are you serious? ”

"Seriously, of course." Seeing that Qian Jin's expression was wrong, Lao Qian hurriedly changed his words and said, "I'll just say that casually." ”

"Dad, don't blame me for not reminding you, Old Man Yun's daughter's martial arts are very good."

"Oh, also a martial arts practitioner?"

"Yes, maybe one day when she is unhappy, our old Qian family will be broken."

“……”

At this time, Bao'er carried a bird cage into the study, and said with a displeased face: "Brother, these birds help me settle down." ”

"Yo, who provoked our family Bao'er, my brother is angry for you." Qian Jin hasn't seen Bao'er for almost a year, so naturally he can't help but be happy.

At present, Bao'er's eyebrows and eyes have grown, her body is only half a head shorter, her face is flushed, like a ripe apple, and a light green silk skirt sets off it, which looks even more slim.

Bao'er was very entangled, although she had a thousand words in her heart, when she came to her mouth, she only said: "I haven't seen you for a year, but my brother has a good relationship in the capital...... What am I going to say to Emily in the future? ”

Qian Jin couldn't help but sigh: "The little girl's family, what love do you know?" ”

Boa turned her head and didn't answer. Now that she's grown up and has a mind of her own, she also loses her temper. In her heart, Emily alone is worthy of her brother. Other women want to rob their brother, and she can't accept it.

Seeing that the two brothers and sisters were sulking, Lao Qian next to him left the study with interest and went to sort out the luggage and belongings brought out of Pyeongchang Mansion with Wen.

There was a bit of dreary in the study for a while.

Suddenly, there were several "cooing" sounds from inside the bird cage in Bao'er's hand. Qian Jin caught a glimpse of four pigeons, both white and gray. Perhaps because they were afraid of life, the pigeons seemed a little uneasy.

"Huh...... Where did Borough get the pigeons? Qian Jinqi said.

"My uncle helped catch it during the autumn harvest last year, and I have been raising it for almost a year." When Bo'er saw her brother asking about these pigeons, she said with some pride.

"Uh...... Uncle is really childlike. Qian Jin really couldn't imagine what it would be like for such a serious person as his uncle to catch birds. When he was a child, he took his mother to catch bamboo chickens, and now he takes his sister to catch pigeons.

Bao'er suddenly remembered something, only to see her turn around and take out a letter from her arms, and pretend to be mysterious: "Uncle asked me to bring it to you." ”

Qian Jinran, this letter is for Princess Anqing.

"Uncle, what's wrong with me lately?"

"Really." Bao'er thought about it for a while, and then said cracklingly: "More than three months ago, Old Man Wen also brought a letter to my uncle. Since that day, my uncle has been a little stupid, he has no heart to eat, and he laughs a little evilly, and he has been like that for several days in a row, and it is useless for his grandfather to scold him. ”

Qian Jin took the letter and put it directly into his arms and asked, "You haven't opened this letter, have you?" ”

"I wanted to take it apart, but for my uncle's sake of helping me catch the pigeons, I held back." Boa stuck out her tongue.

"It's a good thing you didn't take it apart to see, but my uncle made a mark."

"How did my brother know?"

"Mountain people are naturally approaching."

“……”

Looking at those pigeons, Qian Jin suddenly had a plan. If all future correspondence had been delivered by pigeons, wouldn't it have been much more convenient and quicker, and it would have saved money.

Thinking of this, Qian Jin called Li Liang over and instructed: "Little Lizi, these pigeons will be taken care of by you in the future, remember to feed them." Well...... And make them listen to you. ”

Li Liang scratched his head and asked, "How can this bird listen to me?" ”

Qian Jin originally wanted to reward him with a burst chestnut, but then he thought about it, this training of pigeons is indeed a science, and it is normal for Li Liang not to know. The most important thing is to let the pigeon recognize the nest, and to pass the letter to put it bluntly, let the pigeon go back and forth between the two nests.

So, Qian Jin told Li Liang about the half-hung training methods he knew. Not to mention whether it is useful or not, just try it and find out.

Li Liang immediately found a sunny place in the backyard, put a wooden box, settled the four pigeons, and fed some buds. The pigeons finally quieted down.

…………

At dinner, Qian Jin called Lao Fan and Ding Wei back to the courtyard and introduced them to his family one by one.

In the staggered period of planning, everyone told the story of how to put money into the destruction of the Japanese Kou, the champion of the middle, and the opening of the workshop.

Old Qian couldn't help but secretly speak. Unexpectedly, after his son left Pingchang Mansion, he also encountered the Japanese Kou, but fortunately, he saved the danger and promoted thousands of households, and won the emperor's approval.

However, Lao Qian was secretly surprised by his son's workshop. Although Qian Jin brewed a few pots of wine and made a few jars of soy sauce when he was in Guanhai City, those were just petty fights, and Lao Qian was not too relieved. I didn't expect that I hadn't seen him for more than a year, and my son had actually recruited sixty or seventy people in the capital, and he also bought such a big family business.

You must know that the ancestors of the old Qian family have never done tailoring and winemaking, and they don't know where their son learned these crafts. Looking at his son's familiar face, he suddenly felt a little unfamiliar.

After dinner, Qian Jin instructed Lao Fan to cut a few sets of summer clothes for his parents and Bao'er in a few days.

In the evening, Qian Jin arranged for his parents to live in the master bedroom, his study was cleaned up for Bao'er and Li Xiang to live in, and he himself lived in the silkworm mother's room.

The silkworm girl has been gone for four days.

Lying on the familiar bed, Qian Jin's eyes looked straight at the door, expecting the silkworm girl to appear there in the next moment.

At this moment, there was a knock at the door. Qian Jin got up and opened the door, only to find that it was his mother standing outside the house.

Wen looked at Qian Jin with a disappointed expression on his face, and said with a smile: "It is said that 'if you have a daughter-in-law, you will forget your mother', it seems that this is really the case." Why, don't you invite me in for a while? ”

Qian Jin hurriedly stepped aside.

Wen glanced inside the room and asked, "That girl lived in this room before, right?" ”

Qian Jin just said "um" and poured a bowl of water for his mother.

"The people in the Ding family house have already told me about the silkworm girl, and there are many praises in the conversation. If this woman says that another woman is good, it must not be much worse. I just took a look at this wing, and it's obviously very well cleaned up. I heard that you also saved her life? ”

"Sister Hua also saved my life, if she hadn't moved in to rescue the soldiers, I was afraid that my life would have been lost."

Wen sighed and said, "I think your father also saved my life at the beginning." This child is not easy, Jin'er still wants to find her back. ”

"Mother doesn't dislike her for being a widow?"

"Widows are human beings, too. Moreover, this child is kind-hearted, and she left for your sake. Anyway, I recognize this daughter-in-law. ”

When Qian Jin heard this, he was overjoyed. People outside think that the old money is in charge of the family, but they don't know that the mother is the one who makes the decision.
