Chapter 12 Investigation
Qingyun ate well in the confinement, compared with when she crossed over, her body was strong, her complexion was ruddy, she was originally good-looking, and in the eyes of Liu Wang, why was she angry, she didn't wear satin clothes for a county lady, Qingyun actually wore a water-green fine-grained skirt, and a beaded hairpin was inserted on her head.
"Whose family did you go to be a concubine? Did you not keep the way of women and were driven out? ”
Liu Wang's mouth was disrespectful, Qingyun was afraid that she would wake up Doubao, who had just fallen asleep, and said with a sigh, "No matter what I do, it has nothing to do with you, Aunt Liu, please go back!" ”
"You fart, you are from my family, how dare you disobey me?"
"Don't talk nonsense, go back quickly, it's going to rain this day."
As he was talking, suddenly a rolling thunder sounded in the sky, the sound became louder and louder, and gradually flew towards the sky above Liujia Village.
Song Qingyun hurriedly went back to the house to pick up Doubao, who was sleeping unsteadily, and Ziling took the opportunity to push Liu Wang's out of the courtyard gate, "The old woman doesn't want to go back soon?" Beware of thunderbolts. ”
The next day, Ziling went to the village to wander around and came back, gloating and saying to Qingyun that Liu Wang's family was chased by thunderstorms all the way, and I don't know how many dogs gnawed mud on the road, and started a high fever in the middle of the night and talked nonsense, but the eldest daughter-in-law went back to her parents' house, and there was no one to serve around her, so she tossed Liu Xiqing for a night, and was driven to the city this morning to report to Liu Changchun, who was the county commander.
In the second half of the morning, the villagers who were working in the fields found that the three-foot-high storm soil was raised on the avenue at the entrance of the village, and they inquired that it was Liu County who sent people back to pay homage to Liu Wang's family.
The person who came was the county lady who brought her from her mother's house, and when she arrived at Liu's house, she was so powerful that she complained that Liu's house was dirty like a pig's nest and ate like pig food.
The second daughter-in-law looked down on her, and when she was in the city, she was bullied and couldn't raise her head, but she didn't expect a rough mother-in-law to dare to show her face, Liu Wang's is an unreasonable master, and she scolds constantly every day, and the rough mother-in-law obviously followed Tang Xiuzhi's order to deliberately anger her, and she was sick for nearly three months, and she was as thin as a ghost after getting up.
Without Liu Wang's harassment, Qingyun's life was comfortable.
The people in the village still pointed at her, and she didn't care, her mouth grew on someone else, and she couldn't run to sew it up.
Yang Da and his family came to recognize the way once, and Qingyun was afraid that there would be branches outside the festival, so they didn't have to be so diligent to report the growth of the crops in the field.
Yang Da breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, Qingyun was a good employer, and taught his daughter to read and write, and the two of them were grateful to Dade and used all their strength on the twenty acres of land.
The white qi behind the house is also good, this medicinal material is a creeping root, no matter how she manages it, it has grown into a large place.
In the blink of an eye, the summer has passed, the autumn breeze is cool, Qingyun has always wondered why Liu Changchun in the city knows his situation why he didn't come back to support his mother, the day before yesterday, Ziling went to the needlework shop in the city to send a job and came back and said, it seems that there is some big official, Liu Changchun is afraid of being impeached, and he has been keeping to himself in the past few months, doing his duty, and being a man with his tail between his legs.
No wonder no one is looking for trouble for herself, she is not a masochistic type, she is happy to be at ease, and she begins to think about doing something to make money quickly.
Yang Da helped her calculate, twenty acres of paddy fields, excluding labor costs, can earn fifty taels of silver a year in a good year, and if it is worse, it will be thirty or forty taels, but it will not be a grain without harvest.
This investment is too risky and too force majeure, and it is a bit like a hot potato for Qingyun, who has a thin background.
However, there is no cost to Baiji, a stubble can earn 80 taels, and the income in a year is about 150 taels, but you can consider planting a large area.
It's too little, it's too little, she has to raise a child, recently Doubao's appetite is getting better and better, the milk is obviously not enough for him to eat, and he often wakes up hungry in the middle of the night. The child didn't cry either, staring at the light cloud with big watery eyes, and sometimes he looked at her hairy.
Ziling made some soft rice soup to feed him, and when he was more than five months old, Qingyun began to feed him half an egg yolk, which was boiled with boiling water and fed into it, and he was very happy to eat.
What kind of business can make a profit?
Before she came here, she was just a rice worm that gnawed at her parents, and she was very interested in eating on weekdays, so she wondered if she could develop on it.
Choosing a crisp autumn day, she and Ziling dressed up and went to the city in a carriage with Doubao in their arms.
If you want to eat, you have to go on a field trip and try the dishes of the best restaurants in town.
The Fuman Building was full, and Qingyun and Ziling stood in the alley opposite for a long time, and when their feet were about to break, they finally saw a table idle at the window.
She observed for a long time, and almost no women went to the restaurant to eat, so when she stepped in, she was still a little hesitant.
The shopkeeper saw the lady with a hat veil on her head coming in, holding the child in her arms, and supporting her little girl, her face was full of timidity, and she was suspicious but still warmly received them.
After hearing him report ten dishes, Qingyun stood aside, and he knew that he was waiting for his own order.
Just 10 dishes? Is it too little? Could it be that the main thing here is wine?
Seeing his impatient look, Qingyun said, "Let's come to the first three, wine ...... Ask for a pot. ”
Xiao Er answered, Qingyun took the opportunity to look left and right, sure enough, she was right, there were a few simple dishes on each table, but the wine pot was a must.
The diners drank it slowly, as if it was a jade liquid, for fear that they would be ruined by drinking it too quickly.
Qingyun Jue was very funny.
Three dishes and a pot of wine were served, and Ziling saw that she really poured herself a glass, and immediately reminded in a low voice, "Miss, you can't drink." ”
Qingyun's face hidden behind the hat veil smiled, how could she not know? You can always smell it if you don't drink it, right?
When a wisp of mellow and strong wine aroma penetrated into the nostrils, Qingyun slowly put down the wine glass, dipped the head of the chopsticks in the wine and twisted it on the fingertips, slippery but not greasy, with a lingering mellow fragrance flowing between the fingers, good wine, really good wine.
Fortunately, she poured out a little bit, and after plugging the bottle, she instructed Ziling, "Let's take it back and drink it slowly." ”
Zi Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
The three dishes were all cold, a plate of pickled vegetables, a plate of pickled melon, and a plate of braised pork.
Oh my God, this restaurant really relies on wine to sell pickles, no wonder I don't see the surrounding guests moving chopsticks, this kind of food with wine, it is really a waste of food.
The hungry two people ate two chopsticks hard, and then Zi Ling called Xiao Er to settle the account, and Doubao in his arms suddenly writhed a few times uneasily, and Qingyun quickly patted it.
She passed by several guests at the gate, one of whom was just like her, with a veil over his face.
No wonder there are no female diners here, the two of them will inevitably be stared at, light clouds with black lines, blaming themselves for not doing their homework in advance, and almost leaving the restaurant as if they were running away.
Liu Yanping looked back at the two people who ran away, shook the feather fan and said, "It is said that northern women have bold personalities, and those who enter and leave the restaurant during the day are considered heroines among women, right?" ”
Jiang Jue glanced back at him, his cold face did not fluctuate, and followed the black gauze man upstairs.
"Strange......" Liu Yanping rubbed his eyes vigorously, he seemed to see the yarn only in the Jingwang Mansion on the clothes of the woman in the hat veil.
