Chrysanthemum nodded, the beating lights on the table, reflecting the dark red carved shelves, beds and cabinets and other things are a little solemn, if it weren't for the light pink of the gauze tent, this room would be too cold. In the dark night, the dogs in the nursing home barked wildly, attracting dogs from near and far to respond one after another, and a bleak chirp of geese sounded overhead, which made people feel nostalgic under the lamp

Huaizi suddenly asked, "What's the matter with Yunying and Doctor Qin?" Are they making a fuss?"

Chrysanthemum was stunned and asked strangely, "Why do you say that?"

Huaizi gently rubbed the soles of her feet and said to her, "I met Young Master Chen at the market today, and he asked me about Doctor Yun and Doctor Qin. He also asked Dr. Yun vigorously if he was married. I don't think it's easy to say, I'm afraid he has a crush on Dr. Yun. But Doctor Qin is such a brilliant person, not much stronger than him? Besides, the brothers and sisters are very good, and he even has a son at home, so what's the matter with inserting it like this? So I said I don't know, but it seems that their brothers and sisters are very good, and I can't say if they are married. ”

Chrysanthemum's eyes widened when she heard this, it turned out that she was still thinking "My Fair Lady, Good Gentleman", this Chen Yu is also in love with Yun Ying, who knew that even a son was born in the family, just like that, and pretending to be an unmarried person to ask for marriage?

It really doesn't make sense

This is just the rich people in the lower pond market, and those in the city still don't know what is going on

But think about it, she is too much of a fuss, the rich families in this place, the concubines and aunts in the room, isn't that commonplace? But because she wore it to this poor village, she didn't have a chance to see it.

She chuckled and said, "It's just his wishful thinking, how could Yunying take a fancy to him?"

Huaizi nodded and said, "She should marry Doctor Qin." Otherwise, if she shows up so much, she is a scheming person and easy to get into trouble. Nowadays, Xiatangji is no more complicated than in previous years, and people come and go. In the past, although they were poor and had few collectors, most of them were croppers who would quarrel and fight at most, but now there are even those who put money in prints, opened gambling halls, and opened brothels. ”

He said that he was smooth, but he didn't see Chrysanthemum staring at him strangely, and suddenly there seemed to be some silence in the room, and when he looked up, he saw Chrysanthemum looking at him strangely.

He couldn't help but laugh and said, "You look like you're worried about me?" Don't worry, I won't talk about any character, I've seen it three or four times with your brother on how these places hurt people - that's really a ruined family, I'm tired of going to that kind of place, don't say anything else, just put the money in the print, that's really life. But those who lost their gambling in the gambling hall and spent all their money in the brothel would go to loan sharks, and they were very good. ”

Chrysanthemum asked in a deep voice, "Who opened this?"

Huaizi pouted and said, "The people in our Xiatangji are really not so bad, and I don't know if they haven't learned yet." These three houses were all opened by people from Qinghui, and among them were people from the yamen, if they didn't pay the money, they would be locked in the yamen directly. Let me tell you, I think this is probably opened by the county lord - it is much better than raising taxes directly, and it will not cause public resentment, but this is a voluntary gift of money from people

No matter who opened it, this is inevitable, unless it is still the same as before, so poor that it can't squeeze oil and water, and even ghosts don't come to the door

Huaizi felt Chrysanthemum's worries and said softly: "Don't worry, your brother and I won't be confused." It's no wonder you're worried that people who go to these places don't necessarily have bad character, and we see a few of them being honest people from nearby villages, and the more people like this, the easier it is to be coaxed in. Therefore, for this matter, your brother also specially greeted Laixi, your sister-in-law's brother Yungen, and your second uncle's family, for fear that they would be deceived. ”

Chrysanthemum pondered silently, and only said for a long time: "Cousin Laixi's shrewd person will not be deceived." It's Laicai and Yungen, who are young, full of desire to make a fortune and prosper their families, and are easy to be coaxed. ”

Huaizi nodded and said: "Your brother and I thought of this and told them fiercely, if anyone is confused for a while, enters the gambling house and brothel, and comes back, he must break their legs - it is better to raise a cripple than to lose the family business." Now these families are all close relatives, and if one of them is trapped, we will all be affected. ”

Chrysanthemum said: "No wonder Sister Yunlan went back to her parents' house yesterday, and she didn't feel at ease when she thought about it." It's just that if you don't have the means, how can you make money? They will definitely not directly persuade you to gamble and prostitute, they will always use other names to lure you into being fooled before they are ruthless. Therefore, it is useless for you to say hello to a few small people like this, you have to let them be careful of the good things that fall from the pie in the sky, and don't talk to people who don't know each other, it's best to go to the market less in the past two years, and farm at home honestly, and it will be difficult for those people to start if they want to. ”

Huaizi nodded and said, "Then Ming'er will tell them a few more words, this matter can't be careless."

Chrysanthemum looked at him seriously and said, "Do you think that you are reasonable enough, so you will definitely not do those foolish things?"

Huaizi asked in surprise, "Chrysanthemum, you don't believe me?"

Chrysanthemum shook her head and said: "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that you can't imagine the methods of those people, blackmail, blackmail, coaxing, and doing everything." Maybe you do something that you don't think is a bad thing, and you end up falling into their trap. When I say this, I just want you to have a better mind, and don't think that you are better than them. If nothing happens to them, and you, who are considered to be promising, are put in a brothel, that's a joke."

Huaizi's face was solemn when he said this, he stopped his movements, nodded solemnly to Chrysanthemum, and said, "I know—I'll be careful." You're right, we farmers are honest, maybe we were kind enough to help others, but we were blackmailed, or we took this opportunity to be deceived. ”

Chrysanthemum saw that he was interested in this matter, so she was relieved, and the two stopped talking about it.

The next morning, after the family had breakfast, a relative who had been three thousand miles away came to the door and took refuge and borrowed money. In short, now they are all backers and hopes of the Zhang family, this Xiucai master is omnipotent in their eyes, if they don't explain it to them clearly, I'm afraid they think they can become officials if they win Xiucai

Zhang Huai sent the chrysanthemum to the Zheng family, and he didn't go to the ground, so he stayed at home to support this matter; And Zhang Yang didn't go out, facing all kinds of relatives with his brother.

The two brothers sat at home together, much clearer than Zhang Dazhuan and He Shi, and the weight was much heavier. made a powerful statement that made those relatives who wanted to get cheap rest their minds; Give a little help to those relatives who are really in difficulty, and persuade them to go home with good words; If you want to hang the land in the name of the Zhang family, you will state that it is powerful, and then wait for a month to decide.

As for the matchmakers who came to the door, Zhang Yang directly told them that they would never marry if they didn't get married, so the mothers-in-law walked away with their tails between their legs.

Not to mention the liveliness of the Zhang family, and to say that Chrysanthemum was helping the Yang family cut eggplants at her mother's house, while the two were talking, Xiao Hulu sat in the car on the side, looking at them.

Cut the purple eggplant into strips, fish it in boiling water, drain the astringent water, and then dry it into dried eggplant, and wait for winter to take it out and stew it, which also makes up for the lack of vegetables in winter.

The chrysanthemum and Yang's knife, Liu Yunlan took the cut eggplant to blanch, then drained the water and took it out to dry. The eggplant was easy to change color when everything opened, so she ran back and forth as fast as she could.

was busy, Yun Ying also came to join in the fun, and now she likes this farm life very much, especially likes to harvest melons, fruits and vegetables, which is very similar to chrysanthemums.

Chrysanthemum smiled and asked, "Aren't there a lot of babies who go to sell medicinal herbs?" Why are you free?" Just now she saw a number of male babies carrying baskets, which were dried Xu Changqing and bellflowers, and went to the courtyard where Qin Feng lived.

Yunying couldn't find a cutting board anywhere, so Liu Yunlan went back to the house to find a small cutting board and a small kitchen knife, which Chrysanthemum used to use, handed it to her, she took it and cut the eggplant and said, "I've already accepted it." They hadn't saved up for a few days, and they didn't have much medicinal herbs. ”

Since their brother and sister opened a medicinal herb shop in the market and collected all kinds of medicinal herbs, those half-grown babies have something to do, and whenever they have free time, they carry small hoes around the mountains to look for medicinal herbs. The most common ones in the nearby mountains are Xu Changqing and bellflower, and some dig cicadas (know the skin) or collect honeysuckle to dry and sell, earn some copper plates as private money and save it, I don't know how happy.

Yang smiled: "The babies are interested, so it's a serious matter." I see many of your herbs, and I recognize them, and if I have time, I will dig them up and sell them, and earn some money to buy needles and threads, but I will not be idle. ”

Chrysanthemum and Yunying glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Mother, the little babies are slippery, running around, it's cheap to do this, and they don't have a big deal." You have a lot of work in the fields, and you run backwards to dig herbs, even if you sell them for some money, it will not be worth the loss. ”

Yang said: "That's what I said, who really can't dig it?" When I have time, I have to take my eldest grandson with me. Saying that, he teased the gourd and called grandma, and the gourd only lowered his head to play with the puppet.

Just as he was talking and laughing, he suddenly saw a little boy with two tubes of snot, pigtails on the top door, shaved hair all around, and a cyan scalp exposed, running into the yard and shouting: "Sister Yunying, Sister Yunying, Doctor Qin told you to hurry home."

Yun Ying asked in surprise, "What's so flustered?" After she asked, she glared at the little baby with disgust and said, "Li Jingshan, have you taken the medicine I gave you?" Why are you still dragging your nose? Didn't I tell you, you have to wash your face and blow your nose clean······"

Before she finished speaking, Li Jingshan inhaled hard, took back the two yellow dragons under his nose, as if this would annihilate the evidence of the crime, and then said to her: "Sister Yunying, you go home quickly, Doctor Qin is so anxious, there is a person in Qingbei Village who said that his daughter-in-law is going to die-" He saw Yunying glaring at him, and after speaking, he hurriedly reassured-"I'll blow my nose immediately, I forgot to take the medicine you gave me, it smells so bitter."

Yun Ying didn't care about him at all, hurriedly said to Yang and Chrysanthemum, and trotted out of the courtyard.
