Chapter 4: Whose Fault Is It

"Something is wrong with the second aunt?" Qingqing drank the ginger soup, and her body was really warm, but seeing that the second aunt knew that she was out of the scene, she still didn't leave, which was very different from usual, so she still looked up and asked.

"That...... Qingqing, grandpa said that he was going to kiss you, let me lock you up. He Shi had a bitter face, she was there for a long time, and finally said simply. Originally, she had a neat temperament, and she couldn't play with these little belly chicken intestines.

"Say kiss? Grandpa has someone chosen? Qingqing finally raised her head and frowned at He's pretty face.

Qingqing thinks about it, the old man returns home every day, she also settles down in the morning and dusk, he has gone from a jailer to a cell head, and he has been with a prisoner all his life, and his temperament is a little gloomy, even if she is his own granddaughter, it is rare to see him have a smiling face on weekdays, and it is not easy to guess his thoughts.

"It's just that I have this idea, and I haven't chosen a good person yet. However, since you have to choose someone, you should always take care of it and learn something useful, you see, although I don't know how to cook, but I do other things well, right? Do you want to learn from me first, and then let's learn how to make noodles with my mother. Don't you all love the pasta made by my mother? I'm sure you're so smart that you'll be able to learn. He said with confidence.

Qingqing tilted her head, a little embarrassed: "I don't have this kind of confidence!" Second aunt, I want to write out the report to the yamen tomorrow, since grandpa hasn't thought about it yet, let's close this case? ”

"Yes, it's important to get down to business, you're busy with yours." He Shi was also reasonable, and told the old man what he had confessed, and she fell into a big stone in her heart, and went out happily, ready to pinch the hour to cook dumplings and send them to her son's master.

Qingqing didn't put down the cup, just stared blankly at the cup in both hands, looking blankly at the empty front.

In the evening, Qiao Datong carried a lotus leaf bag and swayed into the small courtyard.

"Uncle, what did you buy today? Today, Mrs. Tie sent Qingqing her hometown dishes, saying that Qingqing likes to eat them, and my mother's family also sent dumplings! He glared at Qiao Dayong, the family all changed their ways to despise her, didn't she know how to cook?

"Oh, the Cao family's roast meat, they all said it was delicious. Let her try it, maybe she likes it? Qiao Dayong didn't pay attention to He's complaint at all, and said directly.

Qingqing is not so picky, she is all about what to eat. Anyway, Madame Tie said that she liked to eat the stinky stuff, and she couldn't eat a few bites. He turned his head to look at the backyard and whispered.

"You still don't want to be picky? Alas! Qiao Dayong sighed, "I'll go see her." ”

"Is the case difficult today? I see that Qingqing's little hands are cold. He took the roast meat and couldn't help but ask.

"No, they've been caught! Qingqing came out of the scene, pointed casually, and caught the murderer. As soon as Lord Tie opens tomorrow, he will be able to judge. Qiao Dayong couldn't help but laugh proudly.

"Uncle, Qingqing is a girl, you are like this, the old man is very unhappy." He stomped his feet again, and looked left and right again, "The old aunt wants to introduce one of her in-laws' nephews to Qingqing, I heard that he is a scholar, and he is very honest." The old man thought, in a few days, the child will go to Beijing for the exam, and then let Qingqing take a sneak look, if he thinks it's okay, he can book it. ”

"And then?" Qiao Dayong looked at his brother and daughter-in-law coldly.

The old lady refers to Qiao Ye's sister and Qiao Dayong's aunt. In that year, he married a master of a small county under Kaifeng Prefecture. The main bookkeeper is also an official, but he didn't go any further after he was lifted, and then the family made a little effort to get a poor county as the main book. How many years has the Qiao family been in Kaifeng Mansion, and the aunts of the previous generations have married well, so they pulled the red line together.

I don't know if the old lady's life is good, or the life of the master bookkeeper, the two families were actually about the same before. Not long after the old aunt couldn't get married, the county lord of the poor county found an excuse and left, and if the broken county was good, how could he run away without finishing his term. For a while, the imperial court couldn't find a suitable person to take over, so it directly brought up that person.

The old aunt and grandmother became an old lady step by step, and ten years ago, the old lady's husband died of illness in office. The old lady helped Ling back to Beijing alone, and lived in the old house in Beijing.

However, the old lady lives in a simple place, and the Qiao family has been in a small affair anyway over the years, and the one who is not polite is not good. Lian Qiao Dayong's daughter-in-law died; He got married, and that one never came. So now that He said that Mrs. Gu wanted to choose a son-in-law for Qingqing, it would be strange for Qiao Dayong to take care of her.

"What? Isn't that a good family! said that he was a real young master, cultivating and reading heirlooms. The family is honest people, the wife died three years ago, and the family is anxious to marry a daughter-in-law in charge. There are servants at home, so don't worry that we won't do anything. He said busily.

"Our family can afford to hire a maid, but you won't let it. Say it looks like you can't do it! Qiao Dayong gave He a roll of his eyes, he didn't want to listen to it anymore, and went into the inner courtyard with his hands behind his back.

For a long time before the He family got married, the Qiao family had no hostess. That Hui Qingqing is only four or five years old, a family of three singles, with a four or five-year-old girl, what should I do? I could only invite a lady who was on the stove to come over, and while taking care of Xiao Qingqing, I helped the family of three bachelors cook and wash clothes.

That lady's cooking skills are not bad, and Qingqing when she was a child was very good in both temperament and health.

Waiting for the He family to marry in, the first thing is to quit him. Because of a common family like them, there is a daughter-in-law in charge, and they also invite a lady from the stove, which means that she is a lazy woman who marries in.

Qiao Dayong remembered that it seemed that it was at that time that Qingqing began to dislike eating.

"Obviously it's not like a father who is a father, blame me ......" He muttered quietly, the whole family blamed Qingqing for not eating, she was really going to die unjustly, her son can eat Ma Ma Xiang, and he looks fat.

"Mother, I'm back." A fat little boy of three or four years old staggered in, "What are you talking about!" ”

"Your uncle thinks that your sister doesn't eat because I don't cook well." He still has love for his own son, and he is busy complaining to him.

"I don't think your cooking tastes good, too." The little boy nodded.

"Obviously, it was your uncle who took your sister to the scene to see the dead corpse, why did you grow so fat." He roared lightly.

"Mother, I'm an apprentice in the mortuary! I think the Yamen's rice is better than yours, and the big meatloaf I ate at noon is fragrant. The little fat man shrugged.

"You think everyone is like you, heartless." He slapped him, "Did your master eat dumplings?" ”
