Qin Shi hurriedly said, "There are several families who asked me to go to the truth, but he said that he was engaged to his uncle's daughter when he was young, and he has been looking for his uncle and cousin. ”

Old man Xu said unhappily, "The sky is big, where can he find it." Because the girl helped him get the household registration and helped him become a catcher. I think as long as you say the girl, he will definitely be willing, and he won't bother to find someone. If he doesn't marry a girl, he doesn't remember his feelings. ”

The Qin family frowned, how could he use his relatives to blackmail others. "I also like Zhao Wu's child, but people have already said that, how can I embarrass him." If we pierce this layer of paper, he still doesn't want to, and he will definitely be embarrassed to continue living in my house. Or, he pushed and said that let the girl wait for five years, and if she can't find anyone in five years, let's wait? ”

Mrs. Xu is unwilling to do these two things, she can't make money if she doesn't live in the second room at home, and this backer is gone. Wait five years for the girl to be twenty, what if he finds his cousin.

She hurriedly said, "You can't force this, and you can't ask for it." ”

The Qin clan knew their thoughts, and said with a smile, "Zhao Wu gets along well with Zhou'er and Ting'er, as long as he doesn't say goodbye, he will always live in my house." ”

Old man Xu was afraid that Zhao Wu would be pried away by others, and when he heard that he could live here all along, he stopped thinking about it.

Xu Lanyin not only bought a few catties of cotton for the old couple, but also went to the grocery store to buy some spices.

I heard the woman who sold groceries cursing in a low voice, "Those who have been cut a thousand times have come to ask for money half a month ago, and they are asking for it again today." ”

Her man sighed, "What's the way, it's going to be the New Year, they want to have a good year, so they have to grab it from us." The one surnamed He is not bad, and his chest is not so thick. If you encounter a murderer, you must not scrape the skin. ”

Xu Lanyin secretly thought that these two people were scolding several fast catchers led by He Yukuai, including Zhao Wu. She felt embarrassed for Zhao Wu in her heart, there were some things he didn't want to do, what if those people did him. If you don't do it, you will be excluded by others. Yes, he is still young, and he is used to it, so what should he do.

I still have to think of a way to transfer him to be a horse sooner. Not only can I learn more skills, but I won't deal with these merchants or farmers every day, thinking of the law and pressing oil and water from the lowest people......

As soon as she walked out of the shop, she saw several men in fast clothes swaggering in the distance in the crowd, and the other five ranged from twenty to forty years old, and the youngest was Zhao Wu.

Under the backdrop of those people, Zhao Wu looked even more tall and jade, with an excellent temperament. Many little ladies secretly looked at him.

They talked and laughed all the way, merging into the flow of people until they were out of sight. It seems that Zhao Wu gets along well with those few catchers.

Back home, Qin told the old man Xu and his wife why they took her away. Xu Lan was relieved because she heard that the Qin family had completely broken the old couple's thoughts.

After dinner, Xu Lanyin went into the kitchen to wash dishes, and Zhao Wu followed.

He took out a silver horn and said, "Today, Uncle He led the brothers to get some New Year's money, this is what I get, and my sister takes it." ”

Xu Lan confiscated it, and said with a heavy face, "It's not easy for merchants, you can't do that well." It's said that you can't blackmail, you still have to do this. ”

Zhao Wu argued, "I didn't do it, Uncle He did it, and they gave me some points, and I took the least." I can't afford not to take this money, if I don't take it, they will be unhappy, and they will prevent me from going to the whistle, and I will not be able to gain a foothold there. He put the silver horn into his arms again and said, "Forget it, this money is not clean, so I won't let my sister take it." Next time, I will give it to my sister when I get the moon silver and the reward money. ”

Xu Lanyin told him that he wanted to ask Steward Tang to help him change errands.

Zhao Wu actually didn't agree with Xu Lanyin to ask for help. "I want to be a fast horse too, but I have to do it myself." If a little horse is about to rely on his sister's help, what do you say about going to the six doors on an errand and doing something big...... Don't worry, sister, I won't learn badly. ”

Xu Lanyin's heart was put down after a day's rest. feels like his mother, suffering from gains and losses.

On the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, the private school has a winter vacation, and the school will not start until the twenty-first day of the first month of the new year.

At the end of the first day, Xu Lanzhou came back. And Zhao Wu hasn't come back for four days, and he asked people to bring the letter back, as if there was a case to be solved in which village, and they were busy.

Early in the morning of the twentieth, Xu Lanyin's family took a donkey cart to the county seat. The Qin family led Xu Lanting to the hospital to prescribe medicine and buy New Year's goods, and Xu Lanyin and Xu Lanzhou were going to give New Year's gifts to the county master's house.

The New Year's goods include four baskets of dim sum made by Xu Lanyin herself, a set of soft satin dresses made by Qin for Min Nan, two baskets of home-made dried vegetables, and two small jars of sauce courgette. There are also two baskets of dim sum specially sent to the soup housekeeper.

Courgette was only brought from the Western Regions a hundred years ago, and the common people of the Daimyo Dynasty also used courgette to make pickles, but the preparation is simple and the taste is average. Xu Lanyin's courgette sauce is the old-fashioned Beijing cucumber method she learned from her mother in her previous life, which is delicious and released. In the fall, she made ten small altars in one go.

There are a lot of things, and Xu Lanzhou also paid the fifth grandfather five more money, and asked him to drive the donkey cart to the door of the backyard of the county government.

The people in the car heard that this was a New Year's gift from the Xu family to the county master's family, and there was nothing they didn't envy.

The donkey cart put Qin and Xu Lanting at the door of the Qianjin Medical Hall, and drove to the backyard of the county government.

They were still looking for a soup steward. Steward Tang saw that they also brought gifts to themselves, although it was not worth any money, he still accepted it.

Steward Tang accepted it with a smile and asked a mother-in-law to take Xu Lanyin to Minnan's courtyard, and he himself took Xu Lanzhou to see Minshan. The New Year's gifts were sent to the outer courtyard, and Xu Lanyin only took the dress.

Soft satin is a good satin bought in the embroidery workshop, Qin's dexterity, beautiful color matching, and fine stitches. The embroidered flowers are not the patterns often embroidered in this era, but the cartoon flowers of the previous life painted by Xu Lanyin, which are simple but very chic.

The little girl really liked it, and thought it was better than what she made and what she bought in the embroidery workshop. Now in the eyes of the little girl, as long as Xu Lanyin gives it, it will look good. said with a smile, "Old Taijun Min said, let me go to Shangshu Mansion to live for a period of time in the future, and I will wear this set of clothes." ”

Mrs. Min also liked the clothes when she saw them, and said with a smile, "Ouch, it turns out that flowers can still grow like this." It looks simple and refreshing, but it is chic. ”

Grandma Min's belly is already very big, and she also likes that pattern very much, saying that she wants to embroider this flower on the child's quilt and clothes.

Mrs. Min said, "People say that you want to give birth to a male baby, and this flower is only suitable for embroidery for girls." ”

Grandma Min blushed, of course she also hoped to have a firstborn son.

Mrs. Min left Xu Lan for dinner, and sent someone to let Min Shan stay with Xu Lanzhou for dinner, and then prepared some New Year's gifts for the Xu family. When the servant came back, he took a small bowl of sauce courgette sent by Xu Lanyin.
