Chapter 64: Betting

Before he finished speaking, Qin Xiang rolled his eyes, but he still persuaded patiently.

Han Yunxiao just wanted to say, let's make a little more money before the year, when I saw two small groups looking at him with blank eyes.

When the words came to his mouth, he had to swallow them back, and he couldn't help but feel that he had earned too little.

"Say something you don't like to hear, I think the little brother-in-law and his daughter-in-law will definitely not get along, you don't have to worry." Qin Xiang saw Han Yunxiao's depressed expression, and hurriedly persuaded him.

Qin Xiang knew very well that the ancients cared about the concept of clans.

Therefore, when Han Yunxiao kept helping his mother and younger brother, she also chose a roundabout way.

Han Yunxiao looked at Qin Xiang in some surprise, as if he didn't expect her to say this.

He thought about it for a while, and felt that Qin Xiang just didn't want him to take care of Han Yunfeng's family's affairs, but he couldn't let his own brother beat him!

Therefore, I secretly thought in my heart that it would be better to go to the mountains tomorrow to hunt more prey and sell it.

You can always sell more silver, and then give the silver to Han Yunfeng, let him coax his daughter-in-law more, maybe this matter will pass.

Qin Xiang saw Han Yunxiao's pensive face, her eyes flashed slightly, and she immediately understood Han Yunxiao's thoughts at this time.

She didn't get angry, but smiled and said, "How about we make a bet?" ”

"What's the bet?"

Han Yunxiao felt a little funny, how could a little daughter-in-law make a bet with her father-in-law?

But he already knew that Qin Xiang's temperament was different from the other women in the village, so he asked patiently and softly.

"Keep the money you hunt for seven days, and see if they will be separated in seven days."

Qin Xiang forced Han Yunxiao to give him a piece of pastry, sat next to him and tilted his head slightly and said.

"It's not okay, if they really get along...... How can you bet on such a thing? ”

Han Yunxiao's brows furrowed when he heard this, and he said with a cold face, he felt that Qin Xiang was really messing around.

"Bai Cui'er's parents are no longer alive, so she no longer has a mother's family."

Qin Xiang shook his head and analyzed with Han Yunxiao: "If she reconciles with her brother-in-law, she will definitely marry once, otherwise she won't even have a place to stay." But Bai Cui'er is over twenty years old this year, and she has given birth to a son and a daughter, it is impossible to find another husband like this, do you think she will be so stupid? ”

Han Yunxiao's eyebrows raised after hearing this, he was just concerned about it just now, and he was blinded by his mother's snot and tears.

Now that I calm down and think about it, I feel that what Qin Xiang said makes some sense.

It is impossible for Han Yunfeng to bring the widow home, Bai Cui'er is also making trouble, can she really leave the child behind and marry someone else?

"I'll think about it."

Han Yunxiao didn't agree to the gambling contract, just said lightly, got up and walked in the direction of the bedroom.

Qin Xiang couldn't help but smile, Han Yunxiao said this, which means that he already believes it in his heart, but the person who fooled him is his own mother, and he still has a trace of fantasy.

Qin Xiang knew that Han Yunxiao looked at the five big and three coarse, but in fact, many things were like a mirror in his heart.

It's just that when he is his mother Wang or his younger brother, he will selectively indulge some, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't know what these people think.

Now that Qin Xiang has broken everything, Han Yunxiao wants to understand things, and it is only a matter of time.

Qin Xiang didn't say anything more, so he went to prepare the fried chicken for tomorrow.

Early the next morning, as soon as Qin Xiang brought breakfast, he saw Han Yunxiao sitting at the table, suddenly raised his head and asked with a smile: "You said yesterday that you wanted to bet with me, what if I lose?" ”

"If you lose, then you can only give your mother-in-law four taels a month in the future, and you can't give any more!"

Qin Xiang smiled, pushed a plate of shredded green pepper meat in front of him, and said seriously.

According to the conditions that twenty taels of silver can support a family of five in ancient times, an average of four taels of silver a year for an average person is enough.

"If you think it's too little, then let's send two more chickens to my mother-in-law every month."

Qin Xiang didn't intend to kill things all at once, so he leaned over to Han Yunxiao's side and said.

"Four taels is indeed a lot, what if they are reconciled?"

The corners of Han Yunxiao's mouth hooked up with a smile and asked, he thought about it for a while last night, and he had already figured out everything that had happened.

Therefore, he was not so worried about Han Yunfeng's affairs, and he was in the mood to joke with Qin Xiang early in the morning.

"It's impossible to get along, Bai Cui'er is not a diligent master, she is reluctant to leave her brother-in-law."

Qin Xiang shook his head, and then said with some mockery.

"I'll go into the mountains later, and I won't be back for three or five days."

Han Yunxiao smiled, put down the one in his hand, stood up and said.

"If you have to walk for so long, you should bring some food, and I'll go and prepare it for you."

Qin Xiang didn't expect Han Yunxiao to think about hiding in the mountains, so he hurriedly put down his chopsticks and wrapped one fried chicken that he was going to sell, and another bag of dim sum.

Then pour the Tusu wine bought from the county town into Han Yunxiao's wine jug.

In addition, he put some salt and pepper and other things, and he hunted game in the mountains, and it would be better to add more condiments.

Han Yunxiao leaned against the door of the kitchen and watched her busy, waiting for Qin Xiang to finish her busy work before taking the bag from her hand.

"If my mother comes and asks for silver, you can just push it on my head."

After Han Yunxiao finished speaking, he hurriedly left with his things.

Qin Xiang's heart warmed, and he said in his heart, this guy is really reliable, at least he didn't think about leaving himself at home to carry his mother's difficulties.

After Han Yunxiao left, Qin Xiang immediately took the remaining fried chicken and hurried towards the county.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, red lanterns are hung in the shops on the street.

There are also many shops selling knick-knacks, and the number of people walking around the streets is more than twice as large as usual.

Qin Xiang sat in front of the stall and couldn't help but sigh a little, time flies so fast, she has been in ancient times for almost half a year, and she is even about to usher in her first year in ancient times.

If someone told her half a year ago that she would have crossed over to this realm, Qin Xiang would definitely think that person was crazy.

But now she was sitting on the edge of the ancient street, looking at the flow of people in front of her, and she couldn't help but feel that all this was a little unreal.

"Qin Niangzi, what do you want?"

At this time, the housekeeper who often came to her stall to buy fried chicken suddenly came over, and he looked at Qin Xiang in a daze with a little amusement, so he reminded him loudly.

Qin Xiang came to his senses at this time, and hurriedly asked, "I was distracted just now, but it made you smile, how many yuan do you want to buy this time?" ”

"I bought them all and helped me pick them up. My young master likes to eat fried chicken made by you, and today he happened to come back from the academy, so he asked me to come out and buy more. ”

The housekeeper handed the copper coin to Qin Xiang with a bit of pride on his face.

Qin Xiang didn't know who the young master of the housekeeper was, but as soon as he heard about the academy, he knew that this was a scholar.

"It's almost the New Year, these rights should be a lottery, you can take it back and eat it, don't collect cash."

As he spoke, Qin Xiang picked up a few pieces of fried sweet potatoes and fried potatoes from the stall and handed them to the housekeeper.

"Thank you Mrs. Qin, I'm in a hurry to go back, let's talk another day."

The housekeeper smiled, although I don't know how much money there is for this extra thing, but it is indeed given away for free, and everyone who loves to take advantage of small advantages has it, so the housekeeper's mood is good all of a sudden.

Qin Xiang sold out everything at once, and put away the stall.

She calculated the time, it was not yet noon at this time, and most of the Wang family and Han Qianqian were waiting at her house when she went back at this time.

Therefore, Qin Xiang didn't plan to go back so early, she was thinking about walking around the county and seeing what New Year's goods she wanted to bring back by the way.

Although this county town is not large, there are many kinds of shops, and there are basically all there should be.

Qin Xiang stopped at the door of a restaurant.

This restaurant is mainly for snacks, all kinds of snacks, and all kinds of tea, and there are many customers.

Qin Xiang walked into the shop and looked around with great interest, before finding a place by the window and sitting down.

Immediately, a young man who soaked in the soup ran over, pointed to the sign hanging on the wall, and said, "What kind of tea does this lady want to drink, and what kind of dim sum does she like to eat?" There are also melon seeds in the shop, can you order two? ”

"Don't be too sweet, just serve two. Just order mint licorice tea, and the kind on the table next to the melon seeds. ”

Qin Xiang took a look, and the signs hanging on the wall next to him were all types of tea and snacks.

"Wait a minute."

The young man nodded, turned and ran quickly towards the back kitchen.

After he left, Qin Xiang turned his head boredly and looked at the sign hanging on the wall.

This brand is exquisitely made, but there are not many people who actually look at the brand and order.

This shows that there are not many literate people in this county, so such a recipe is a bit chicken.

Soon the refreshments that Qin Xiang asked for were served, and Qin Xiang picked up a piece of dim sum and took a bite.

This plate of dim sum has six pieces, and it is very small, so you can eat one in two bites.

A plate of peach crisp dim sum and a plate of bean paste cake taste pretty good.

But after all, compared to in modern times, the pastries Qin Xiang ate were a little lighter, and he always felt that something was missing.

Qin Xiang took a sip of tea and couldn't help but feel that this tea was not bad.

After all, most of the mint and licorice in this era are wild, and they have a unique flavor to drink.

And the so-called melon seeds are actually watermelon seeds, Qin Xiang knocked a handful, raised his head and swept around.

The people around were gathered at a table in twos and threes, chatting while knocking melon seeds, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

If this form continues, this is the prototype of the future teahouse.

As soon as she thought this, she saw a middle-aged man in a long robe walk not far away, clear his throat, and really talk about books.

Qin Xiang smiled and listened with interest.

Most of the people who came to drink tea were men, and young women like Qin Xiang were really good.

Therefore, this storyteller tells the story of a talented and beautiful woman.

When Qin Xiang was in modern times, he had heard enough of this kind of vulgar story, so after listening to it for a while, he felt bored, paid the money and got up and left.

She deliberately went around the county town, and when it was almost dark, she bought six meat-stuffed buns, put them at the bottom of the back basket, and hurried home.
