The mother and son were talking, and they saw Steward Qi coming over from the window. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

"Madame has been waiting for a long time." Steward Qi smiled and saluted at the autumn color, "My master has woken up, so please ask Mrs. to come over now." ”

"It's troublesome." Autumn smiled and handed over a purse full of broken silver taels.

Qi Guan quietly sleeved up, and came to another more clean and luxurious room with the autumn color, and saw Wen Anhou as soon as he came in, there was a table of dishes in front of him, he was holding chopsticks to eat slowly, and there were two maids standing next to him who were constantly helping him to make dishes.

Seeing the dishes on the table, the corners of Qiu Se's mouth twitched, weren't the vegetables on most of the table the same ones he had just sent? It seems that this gift itself seems to be the right one.

"Ah, Master Hou is dining, please wait a while." Qi steward said to the autumn color.

Qiu Se smiled and nodded, and said in her heart that she had been waiting for so long, so she naturally had to wait for a while. But seeing Wen Anhou eating there, Qiu Se's stomach couldn't help but scream.

Hearing the inopportune sound, everyone glared at Qiuse's mother and son, and for a while, Qiuse's face was as red as a monkey.

Yin Huaizhi raised his head and smiled when he saw the autumn color, "Madame has been waiting for a long time, she must be hungry, or let's sit down and eat some together." ”

"No, no need, let's go home and eat with my daughter in a while." Autumn Colors refused. He thought that even if he really wanted to eat, he would have indigestion when he was stared at by the people around him.

"In that case, let's remove all of this." Yin Huaizhi put down his chopsticks and commanded.

Qiu Se was a little embarrassed, "Master Hou, you continue to eat, I'll wait a while." ”

Yin Huaizhi rinsed his mouth and picked up the teacup again, "Ben Hou is already full." ”

After the subordinates withdrew the meal, put the lamp in their hands, and served tea to Qiuse, Yin Huaizhi talked to Qiuse about business.

"Madame's conditions, Steward Qi has already told me, just now I read the newspaper published by Madame recently, Ben Hou feels that if Madame wants to buy shares, it is not impossible, but it is just ......" Yin Huaizhi paused for a moment to look at Autumn Color, but saw that Autumn Color did not have an obvious look of panic or disappointment, quite disappointed, and continued: "It's just that this printing workshop and newspaper are very easy to be imitated, and the only attraction is the mythical story on Madame." But if Mrs. is in Qingchuan, there is no way for the newspapers in the capital to be printed in time, so Ben Hou wants to ask Mrs. to go to the capital together. ”

"Lord Hou wants to print the newspaper in the capital?" Autumn Color couldn't help but ask.

"Yes." Yin Huaizhi looked at the autumn color carefully, but saw that she didn't have an ecstatic expression except for surprise, and couldn't help but wonder, is this still an ordinary woman? How can you calm down like this?

"But the women's family background is thin, and I am afraid that they will not be able to afford the property in the capital, or they will ......"

Qiu Se's words were interrupted by Yin Huaizhi before he finished speaking, "Ben Hou has a house on the outskirts of the capital, if Madame goes, you can live there!" ”

A house on the outskirts of the capital? Is Wen Anhou planning to accept himself as an outroom? Just thinking about it, Qiu Se suddenly felt that his arm was pinched hard, and he couldn't help but scream, and when he saw Yin Huaizhi looking at him strangely, he hurriedly covered up and smiled: "That's really good." ”

"So Madame agreed?"

"Mother!" When the hundred-year-old saw the autumn color, he really followed Yin Huaizhi's intention to be an outer room for others, and he didn't care about anything else, so he opened his mouth and asked directly: "Are you going to take me, Qianqian, and my father to move to the capital together?" ”

The smile on Yin Huaizhi's face paused, and then he looked at the hundred-year-old in Qiu Se's arms, and always felt that what this immature doll said just now was deliberate. "Is this Madame's son? Now that you are gone, why are you still with you? ”

"What Master Hou said, even if he is separated from him, he is my son, of course it is best for the child to stay by his own mother's side." Qiu Se hurriedly took this opportunity and said: "Master Hou, in fact, I came today to say that I don't want to buy shares in that printing technology anymore, and I want to give it all to Master Hou, and the right is a thank you gift for Lord Hou who helped me in court today!" Although the courtesy is a little thin, please don't dislike it. ”

Yin Huaizhi looked at the autumn color for a while, shook his head slightly, and said to himself: "It's not like this moment." ”

"What did Master Hou say?"

"Nothing." Yin Huaizhi asked Qiuse, "Dare to ask Mrs. Will you know these numbers before?" Why is it that the issues in the newspaper are written in the number of Allah? ”

"Oh, my father-in-law, my predecessor taught me before."

"Has that lady ever heard of airplanes?"

Qiu Shi faintly understood what Yin Huaizhi was testing, and deliberately pretended to laugh and said, "Fei J? No matter how high J flies, it can't be as high as the roof, so how can it be called flying? ”

The disappointment on Yin Huaizhi's face was even stronger, "The plane that Ben Hou said is a tool, made of iron sheets, powered by gas, and many people can sit on it, and then fly from one place to another. Does Madame know? ”

"This, this, Hou Ye is talking about the immortal's cloud driving, right?" Autumn Color's mouth opened wide and she looked surprised.

"Although it is a little similar, it is not ...... after all" Yin Huaizhi looked at the autumn color for a while, and then chased the guest away: "It's not early, Madame should go back." ”

"Uh......" Autumn Color was a little confused, was he annoyed with himself?

"It's curfew outside, Ben Hou will have someone send you back, and as for the printing workshop, the Qi manager will look for you." After speaking, Yin Huaizhi didn't give Qiu Shi time to react before leaving the house.

At this time, the hundred-year-old also understood what Wen Anhou came here from the capital to do, the former princess Ping and the current queen also had a business with Yin Huaizhi, he came to see if the person who put forward the same conditions as the princess of peace is the second princess Ping!

Qiu Se was still thinking that there was no curfew in Qingchuan Mansion before, Yin Huaizhi did this purely to help him increase his momentum, but when he got out of the post station, he knew that it was really a curfew, I am afraid that there is a reason why Wen Anhou is here.

When I got home, I hurriedly ate a bite of food, and Qiushi asked about the result of Ding Jia's visit to the prefect.

At this time, Qiu Se visited the post station with his son, and the news that he did not come out until the time of the palm lamp, and was sent home by Wen Anhou's personal guards also reached the ears of Zhang Zhifu and Ma Teng. Governor Zhang secretly rejoiced, but fortunately he left room when he decided the case; Ma Teng was itching with hatred, and he thought about waiting for Wen Anhou to leave and clean up the woman, but now he had to rest his thoughts.

Qiu Se learned that the master of Zhang's Mansion had accepted the gift, so she let go of her heart and let everyone rest, planning to go to see Zhang's Mansion early the next morning, but who knows, before she went out the next day, Steward Qi came.

"Master Hou is gone?" The autumn colors were a bit unexpected.

"Yes, Master Hou's affairs in Qingchuan Mansion have been completed. As for the cooperation, I have already left it to my wife to discuss. Steward Qi's smile remained unchanged.

"I said it all, the printing technology and the like are all given to Hou Ye, so there is no need to cooperate." Autumn colors waved his hand.

Steward Qi's smile was a little sincere, "Even so, our Hou Mansion must also show sincerity, besides, the story part of the newspaper still needs Mrs." ”

Qiu Se was stunned, and scolded in his heart, he only said that he would send movable type printing to him, as if he didn't say that the newspaper should also be sent! But the words have come to this, of course she can't dismantle her platform, so she said with a smile: "What do you need me to do, just talk about it." ”

The two finally agreed that Qiuse would write a story every month and hand it over to the Hou Mansion, which would be collected by Mo Bao Zhai because the Hou Mansion was far away; And the Hou Mansion paid one hundred taels of silver per month for the autumn color. As for the newspapers, they will all be under the responsibility of the Hou Mansion in the future, and the autumn colors will no longer be allowed to be published privately.

"Of course, if the newspaper sells well, the amount of money paid to the lady will be increased appropriately." Steward Qi said with a smile.

"Then thank you first." Qiu Se asked again, "Then if I want to print two books and give them away, can I give them away?" ”

"Of course you can use it at home. If there is anything in the future, just go to the shopkeeper of Mobaozhai, I have already explained. ”

Bai Sui looked at the back of Steward Qi and sighed, "I finally know how those people called him 'Hidden Fox' before, you have lost a lot of money in this transaction!" ”

"Didn't I give you a hundred taels of silver a month!" Autumn comforted him and comforted himself.

"Hmph, the newspaper run by the Hou Mansion of Wen'an, who is not allowed to give two points of thin noodles, if you print your story into a book, it is another income, not to mention those who take the initiative to advertise, the advertisement of the newspaper of the Hou Mansion of Wen'an is not just a few taels of silver, and the income of the capital alone is more than one hundred taels a month."

"Alright, alright." Qiu Se glared at Bai Sui angrily, and angrily told him the truth, "Ding Jia is going to prepare the car, and I am going to the prefect's mansion." "Now Mo said that he has lost a business, even if he is bankrupt, he will admit it, as long as he can hug the thigh of Wen Anhou Mansion.

Seeing that the arrival of the prefect of Zhang was very smooth, after the cold noise, Qiu Se explained his intention, "It is said that the prefect has already decided the case, so he should not come to beg you, but the children in the family are making a lot of trouble, and they are yelling for their father every day, I can't help it, can the adults see if Aishan can be fined and imprisoned?" "In fact, there are many such examples in the people, as long as you have a lot of money and a hard enough person, even if you go to prison today and come out tomorrow, it is possible.

Governor Zhang hesitated and asked, "Uh, hasn't Madame already reconciled with Aishan?" Is it possible to pay this fine for him? ”

The autumn colors are also lonely, "No way, you can't ignore the child's thoughts!" ”

"That's it!" Governor Zhang pondered in his heart, is it really a cover to say that this Ding clan and Aishan are separated?

"Besides, I have to do things for the Wen'an Hou Mansion every month, and I really don't have extra time to spend with the children, if I hand them over to Aishan, I can rest assured." Qiu Se looked at the hesitant expression of the prefect of Zhang's mansion, and mentioned the Hou Mansion without a trace.

Governor Zhang's face really loosened, and he secretly wondered, could this Ding really climb the Hou Mansion? Then she still cares about Aishan? It's really a matter of affection, "There is also a precedent for using silver to offset punishment, but Ai Shan's mistake is big, and this fine has to be paid a lot, this is one of them; Second, although the punishment can be offset with silver, the impact of Aishan's case is too bad, how can he stay in prison for three months. ”

"Okay, March is March." Seeing that Zhang Zhifu was relieved, Qiu Shi naturally nodded busily, "As for the money, please ask the adults for help, do you see if you can get my current house out?" Although it occupies a small area, there are ice cellars in the conservatory, and I have changed to a two-story building, which can be heated without burning charcoal in the house, and it is very clean. ”

Governor Zhang's heart moved, he didn't eat less of the vegetables produced in the autumn greenhouse, and he was naturally very greedy, at this time, the heart that was loose became seven, and he nodded and said: "In this case, I will give Mrs. a reply after the official and the subordinates will discuss it." ”

"I'm sorry for the prefect." Qiu Se thanked him, and when he left, he pressed a silver ticket of 1,000 taels and 2 taels and 500 taels under the teacup.

Governor Zhang put away the silver ticket and said to the master beside him: "This Ding family is really worth a lot. ”

"Then you can take her a good shot." The master suggested with a smile.

Governor Zhang shook his head, "No, I don't know the real relationship between her and Wen Anhou, it's better to leave some leeway." ”

The result of the discussion was naturally that the punishment could be offset with silver, and Qiu Se handed over the deed of his house, and handed over the five hundred taels of silver that had been put together to the prefect of Zhang, saying that he would help him find a place to settle on the outskirts of Fucheng.

Zhang Zhifu generously drew an autumn color of a mountain covering an area of 700 acres, and everyone was taken aback when they came to see it, this land is quite large, but most of it is a hillside, it is full of fruit trees but most of them are dead, and several houses are halfway up the mountain, which is very defeated. There was no way, so Qiu Se had to rent a larger yard nearby, planning to hire someone to clean up the mountain and build a house.

Seeing that Qiu Se was about to buy someone again, he hurriedly stopped her, and asked Wei Er to bring the rest of the trained beggars to be the housekeepers, Qiu Se looked at the extra twenty and a half children and a few girls a little dizzy, but fortunately, there was no need to pay for it now.

Yin Huaizhi came back on the third day of his departure, ignoring the ash on his face, while grabbing the buns that had just come out of the pot with his hands and nibbling on them, he invited Qiuse with his eyebrows and said: "Madam, I have been staying in the same prefect for the past few days, and I have finished the things you have explained, you don't know that Ma Teng is happy and crazy, and the third daughter of the royal court will not fall down overnight, hey, he still thinks that he has rejuvenated!" Actually, it's all thanks to my medicine, but he couldn't be happy tonight...... Uh, when I didn't say anything. Seeing the autumn color and the angry eyes of the hundred years old and the ignorance of Qianqian's face, Wuweizi shut up in a sneer.

"By the way, madam, yesterday, Fang Su and her maid Huan asked Ma Teng to take over the house." Wuweizi suddenly remembered this and hurriedly said it.

"She can do whatever she likes, let's hurry up and clean up here, or you don't even have a decent place to live, don't you know medicine? Go find some herbs to repel insects and snakes. Qiu Shi didn't care about Fang Su, she just wanted to build a home of her own as soon as possible.

Fang Su thought about it at home for three days and didn't come up with a way, she couldn't go back to the capital, those dowry shops didn't make any money at all, or she wouldn't have to worry about the autumn colors. There was really no way, she secretly went to the same prefect's mansion again, and Ma Teng was also happy, and directly sent two small sedan chairs to take her and Taozhi into the mansion together.

Qing Niang was shocked and angry when she saw that the concubine who had just entered the mansion was Fang Su, but she couldn't help it.

That night, Taozhi was pregnant, and Fang Su went to bed.

Ma Teng is very happy, he is no longer powerless in the past few days, but he is very energetic, and he wants to show his strength tonight, but he doesn't want to toss for a long time, but he can't stand up when he steps off the thing, he can't help but be shocked, scared and angry. But where is it good to tell people about such private hidden diseases, so all the anger is vented on Fang Su's body.

Since then, Fang Su has become Ma Teng's favorite, staying in her room almost night and night, attracting the jealousy of the women in the house, but every night is her nightmare. Suffering at night and being excluded during the day, the pain was only known to Fang Su herself, at this time she missed the days when she lived with Ai Laohu, but there was no regret in this world for selling medicine.

Three months later, Qiu Se took Qianqian and Baisui to pick up Ai Laohu in front of the government prison, but unexpectedly ran into Qingniang.

"Sister Qiu Niang, why didn't you come to me if Ah Shan had something?" The two looked at each other for a long time, and Qing Niang opened her mouth first.

"Mrs. Ma laughed, how can I tell you about my man? Do you know that you are here today? "The autumn colors are unmoved.

Qing Niang's lips moved, and the smile on her face could no longer be maintained, "Qiu Niang, you have changed." ”

"Yes, can they stay the same as the mother of two children?" Autumn pretended not to understand her and said.

At this time, Ai Laohu came out of the prison, he raised his head and covered the sun in the sky with his hands, feeling as if he had returned from hell, and he really couldn't imagine that he could still come out of the prison!

"Daddy!" The first to see Ai Laohu was Qianqian, and she ran over and threw herself into his arms.

"Qianqian?" Ai Laohu's body shook for a while, and he barely hugged his daughter, feeling both relieved and fulfilled, and he saw the autumn colors at a glance in the direction where Qianqian was running, and picked up Qianqian and walked over.

"Qiu Niang!" Ai Laohu wanted to say thank you, wanted to say that I would pay back the money I owed you, and wanted to say that he couldn't stand her, but in the end he couldn't say anything after calling Qiu Niang.

"Ahsan!" Qing Niang said suddenly, "I prepared a banquet in the restaurant for you to catch the wind, you ......"

"Mrs. Ma, please go back, if Master Ma finds out, he will be angry."

Qing Niang choked, her heart was uncomfortable, Ah Shan didn't even look at herself when she said that just now! At home, Ma Teng is looking for joy with his niece every day, and he has no influence here in Ah Shan? A few days ago, he could still say hello with a smile when he saw him! "Ah Shan, I have a place on the outskirts of Beijing where there is a lack of a steward, you ......"

"Mrs. C-heart!" Ai Laohu handed Qianqian to Qiu Se and gave her a salute, "Qiu Niang, I will pay it back if I owe you as a cow and a horse, if I can't pay it back in this life, I will pay it back in the next life!" The two children will be entrusted to you, Qianqian Chengshou, you must listen to your mother's words in the future. With that, he was going to walk out alone.

"Daddy......" Qianqian suddenly cried.

Seeing that Ah Shan didn't just ignore herself, Qing Niang's heart felt a little better.

"Ai Laohu!" Qiuse listened to what he said, he felt uncomfortable, no matter how much resentment he had, no matter how much he was unwilling, he couldn't care about Ai Laohu at this time, and when he saw that he was leaving, he suddenly called out to him, "I lack a long-term job to take care of two children at home, do you want to do it?" In charge of food, shelter and clothes for the four seasons, two hundred copper dollars per month. ”

"Qiu Niang, what did you say? How can Ahsan be regarded as a long-term worker? Qing Niang exclaimed in disbelief.

The hundred-year-old and Wuweizi and others behind Qiu Se also looked at her with puzzled expressions, but no one expected that Ai Laohu nodded after a slight pause, "I'll do it!" I don't want wages, I have the right to work to pay off my debts! ”

"Sir." Someone next to him suddenly shouted.

Ai Laohu looked at Uncle Li as he saw it, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Uncle Li, why are you ......?"

At this moment, Uncle Li was embarrassed, carrying a burden behind his back, he wiped his eyes and said: "I can be regarded as seeing you, husband, that Fang Su took the little master away, and his home was also raided, I originally planned to go back to my hometown when I saw you, but then I heard that Mrs. ransomed you, so I will wait here......"

"Where did Fang Su go with Chenglu?" Ai Laohu asked with a frown.

At the beginning, Uncle Li was still a little unhappy when he talked about Fang Su here, and after thinking about it, it was better for others to tell Ai Laohu about Fang Su than to say it himself.

Sure enough, when Ai Laohu knew that Fang Su had made Ma Teng's concubine, his expression was very terrifying, and everyone thought that he would be angry, but who knew that he didn't do anything, and finally only turned around and asked Qing Niang to tell Fang Su to tell her to 'do it for herself'!

Since then, Ai Laohu has become a long-term worker, in addition to accompanying two children every day, is to work in the newly bought orchard in autumn, worthy of being a farmer, although the work has been stacked for many years, but the re-start is also fast, and he has become the best at farming among all people.

Three years later, Qiu Shi bought an additional 500 acres of hills next to the previous place, dug up the roots of the trees that had been cut off, planted fruit trees, and connected them with the previous fruit trees. In spring, the green fruit blossoms on the mountain are fragrant, and even the wooden plaque "Thousand Hundred Orchards" hidden at the foot of the mountain is also dyed with fragrance.

On this day, suddenly a caravan came to the door and asked to see Ai Lao or Autumn Color.

After seeing the people, Qiu Se looked carefully for a long time before recognizing the person who led the team, and said in surprise: "You, you are Gazi?!" ”

The man smiled, "Yes, Sister Autumn Colors moved here to make it easy for me to find it!" ”

"How are you?" Looking at Gazi's current clothes in autumn, I'm afraid that the rich landlords in the countryside can't compare to it, "You're making a fortune." ”

"Well, it's all up to Sister Qiuse and Master Hu's help at the beginning." Gazi nodded happily, "This time I came to deliver silver." As he spoke, with a wave of his hand, the people below carried the boxes into the room one by one, and then all opened the lids, and the eyes of the people inside were sore and stinging.

"This box is three hundred taels of silver, a total of ten boxes, all for the tiger master." Gazi explained.

"Give it to me? Why? Ai Laohu, who had just come in from outside, was stunned, and then asked puzzled.

Gazi gave Ai Laohu a salute, "Did Master Tiger forget?" At the beginning, you 'gave' me thirty taels of silver, and I used it to go to the north for two years, and although I earned some but not a lot, and then I went to the south with someone to earn some. I heard that I could multiply my profits tenfold when I went to Nanyang, so I partnered to build two ships and went to Nanyang, but I didn't want to meet water bandits when I came back, and I lost the goods of a ship, but I didn't lose it. The second time I went, I had experience, I made a lot of money, I bought land at home, became a parent, thinking that there was no Sister Qiu Se and Master Hu would not be where I am now, so I prepared some small gifts to thank you, in addition, there is a car of jewelry and strange things outside for Sister Qiu Se. ”

"That's not so much! You've multiplied a hundredfold! "Autumn color feels a little dazed, this gift is not thin!

The hundred-year-old who came in behind Ai Laohu was concerned about another question, "Can you really multiply your profits by a hundred times if you go to Nanyang?" His eyes couldn't help but sparkle with interest.

"How much more than a hundredfold? Those strange things in Nanyang were sold to the nobles in the capital, and one piece was worth thousands of taels! So these silver taels are really not much. Gazi explained with a smile.

Life is like this, full of accidents, maybe good or bad.

In the evening, as soon as Autumn returned to the room, she saw ten boxes full of silver and a man who had just taken a bath.

"What are you doing here?" Qiu Se faintly knew what he was going to say, and couldn't help but be annoyed: "Don't hurry up and go back to sleep!" ”

"Qiu Niang!" Ai Laohu stood up, his two eyes looked deeply at the autumn color of some fried hair, and couldn't help laughing, the smile on his face that had just shaved the stubble bloomed, and two dimples faintly appeared, "You are still like this, you always like to scream, like a cat ready to stretch out your paws and scratch people!" ”

"Ai Laohu, you don't sleep at night to scold me for being like a cat?"

"Of course not, I'm here to bring you silver!"

"Who wants your money! I don't lack it, hurry up and ......"

Ai Laohu interrupted Qiushi's words to drive people away, "But I gave you this silver!" Qiu Niang, I don't have anything but these unexpected silver, and I still want to wait for me to do something famous again so that I can propose to you again, but I'm afraid I can't wait. Yesterday Qianqian also said that I had gray hair, and I was afraid that I would be old before I became famous, so let's do it now. Qiu Niang, I will hand over this silver and myself to you! From now on, I will do nothing and go anywhere, just watch over you every day, okay? ”

"Don't go crazy here at night, believe it or not I'm going to have you thrown you out?" Qiu Shi shouted, but then his voice indulged in the man's affectionate gaze, and he couldn't help but be annoyed: "If you don't go, I'll go!" ”

Qiu Se turned around and was about to leave, but she was hugged by someone around her waist, and the man rubbed his head on her neck, "Qiu Niang, can you marry me again?" Only when he was close, Qiu Se could hear the trembling and uneasiness in his voice, and he wanted to refuse but couldn't open his mouth, only feeling uncomfortable in his heart, his eyes were sour, and the arms behind him were still transmitting the long-lost temperature to her.

Outside the house, the hundred-year-old who had wanted to come to discuss things with Autumn looked up at the moon that had just risen, and it was the time of the full moon.
