After sending away Zifu, the days flew into August, Xia Yu's fetus was stable, and she wanted to go back to her mother-in-law's house to give birth, although there were still a few months before the delivery date, but the more unsafe it was to give birth to a child in her mother's house, so she simply planned to go home and spend the August reunion festival with her husband.

Shen learned about it, and sent a lot of eggs, dried fruits to eat, and a few pieces of fabric, and finally took two sheepskins, and asked her to make a leather jacket during confinement, don't get cold, and said that she would wait for Layue to give her a belly gift and then go to see her, Shen personally hired a donkey cart for Zeng Ruixiang to send her. Even Tian was a little moved when he saw it.

After Xia Yu left, Shen thought that it would be better to go to the city before the festival and buy something to prepare for the festival, Shen pondered for a while, and told Ziqing to pick up a basket of eggs, saying to see Zhou's go.

"Mother, Daddy and Aunt are so kind to us, why do you want her to go?"

"Do you think my mother wants to go? It's just a matter of affection, a basket of eggs is not worth anything, don't let them pick on it. ”

Ziqing heard that she was going to go, Ziqing wanted to go and see if Master Li's jade bracelet had been made.

Ziqing picked up the basket of eggs and changed her clothes, at this time the doorbell rang, it was Lin Kangping and Wen San, Wen San saw Ziqing's dress, and knew that she was going out.

It turned out that they were specially here to send a jade bracelet, and it took Master Li a month to take the time to make a bracelet, and the effect was good, Master Li was very surprised, and told Wen San that the hardness of this green jade is actually greater than that of white jade, and the color is moist and translucent, so it should be of the highest grade. Wen San listened to it and thought about it, the Wen family's business is several houses, and he is not the eldest son on his own side, and it is difficult to say what will happen in the future, so Mo Ruo took this opportunity. If you do a green jade business alone, you will be able to make a lot of money if you seize the opportunity. So I came here this time to find Ziqing to inquire about something.

"Go, don't you believe me? Now it's catching up again? "Ziqing still holds a grudge.

"It's so Qing'er, even if I have no eyes, it's not enough." Wen San blurted out.

"Qing'er is also what you can call? I don't understand. Your family is so rich, and you are still working so hard to draw, are you tired? ”

"You don't understand our family. In short, this is my own business, and it has nothing to do with the Wen family. Can you help? Wen San's expression at this time was not like that innocent young man. With a bit of unconscious sharpness.

"Help, but don't you want to read yourself? Where is the kung fu to care about this? Besides, do you do everything in your business? Not to mention the big ones, the small ones such as my watermelon, chicken, potatoes, etc., are said to be unsightly? Ziqing asked the doubts in her heart.

"Silly girl, your watermelon went on the market early, which is a bit strange, and it is used to deal with the province and Beijing. Later, you had a lot of watermelons, so you sold some of them in the capital, and your chicken tasted good. It is also used for home consumption and gifting, and potatoes are sold at grocery stores. Of course I can't go out. Kang Ping will help me deal with everything, I always have two people under my hands, and this time I will wait for them to go out to find a way after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Wen San explained.

Ziqing heard that the source of this jade was said, Yuecheng is the only open port in this country, and there are many Fanbang ships at the wharf, so there should be a chance, as long as someone buys it for a long time, there will definitely be people who sell it for profit.

Ziqing was talking to Wen San, and Shen led Ziyu out with his things, and asked, "Why don't you invite guests into the house?" What did I think you were doing? I don't go into the house for most of the day. ”

"Mother, let's just take their carriage to the city, mother, look, the jade bracelet I gave you is beautiful, right?" Ziqing held the bracelet up in front of Shen's eyes.

Shen took it and took a picture of the sun, saying, "It's really beautiful, if it's jade, it would be even better." ”

Ziqing asked Shen to get into the car, and said: "Mother, this is originally a kind of jade, this kind of jade is called jade, red jade and green jade, red jade is called jade and green is called cui, it is green jade, don't you see that jade has white jade, red jade, and black jade?" It's just that this is green jade, this kind of jade is not in our country, so we have never seen it, but it does not mean that it does not exist, and you can't deny that it is a kind of jade. How can I tell you, it's like raising chickens, chicken feathers are black, red, white, linen, and green, and you can't say it's not a chicken just because the feathers are green. As soon as Ziqing finished speaking, she heard haha laughing, who else but Wen San? Lin Kangping was also grinning.

Shen Shi saw it and said, "Okay, it's showing off again, isn't it?" Net makes people see jokes. ”

Wen San heard this and hurriedly said, "Aunt Zeng, I'm not reading jokes. I just laughed when I thought it was funny, there was no malice, you have to believe me. ”

A few people laughed and soon arrived at the alley of Zhou's house, Wen San originally said that he was going to pick him up, but Ziqing refused and told Lin Kangping to come before going out.

Shen hugged Ziyu, Ziqing carried the basket, and entered the small courtyard where Zhou's lived, Zhou was sorting out and packing things, scolding while cleaning up, "You short-lived ghost, why are you so confused, my mother said how old are you, how can you do this kind of thing, if I hadn't stopped you, your father would have discounted your legs, how can my life be so bitter, you ruthless short-lived ghost, don't you poke your mother's heart with a needle... ”

Ziping stood aside with Zihe, as if she was angry, and her eyes were still red without replying. Shen saw it and asked, "What is my sister-in-law doing?" Are you moving back home? ”

Zhou's eyes turned red when he heard this, wiped his tears and asked Shen to help, saying that he would hire a car to leave today, and Zeng Ruiqing would leave after he got off duty.

Seeing this, Shen didn't ask much, just helped classify and pack things, Ziqing saw this posture, something big must have happened, and it was a bad big thing, it seemed to have some relevance to his previous guesses, but unfortunately he couldn't ask, and Shen took the child to leave after helping to pack.

When he got home, Shen pondered for a long time, and felt very wrong, but he couldn't tell anyone about it, after all, the reputation of the girl's family was quite important. Who knew that two days later, Zhou actually came to the door and cried with Shen in the house, it turned out that it was really Ziping who had an accident. The two of them were alone in the house with the man next door, and they were found by their wife who went out to go home, and the trouble started, Zhou was startled, and he always thought that his daughter was obediently learning needlework next door.

"Brother and sister, sister-in-law regrets not being at the beginning, you persuaded me at the beginning, saying that the girl is older, you have to pay attention, why am I so confused, why didn't I listen to you, I wanted to listen to you at the beginning, and I moved away from that ghost place earlier."

When Ziqing entered the house, she heard Zhou crying and said: "That child is like a ghost who grabbed her feet, and ran next door when she saw the sky, I was quite happy at first, thinking that this child fell in love with embroidery, and there were not many things at home, and I had enough hard days at home when I was a child. Later, I saw that I was a little too diligent, and I only asked once or twice, but she was impatient, saying that doing needlework, embroidery, looking at patterns, etc., dared to deceive me, which is also outrageous. That man is more than ten years older than Ziping, I can't dream of it, brother and sister, what should I do? Your eldest brother beat her, and he didn't take care of it, why is this child too confused, why doesn't he know that the reputation of the girl's family is going to be ruined, but how can he get married? Now I have to think about marrying her quickly, the eldest sister Liu's house you said last time, I can look at his family, or you go on another trip. ”

Shen had a headache, so he had to persuade: "Sister-in-law, you still have to take good care of it, and you have to pay more attention to the child in your belly." As for that eldest sister Liu's house, so much time has passed, and it is uncertain that people have found it, and then they had the intention to marry, but we didn't respond, and now we are in a hurry to go again, it's not like that, if someone inquires, you will know, his house is not far from you. ”

Zhou listened to it and thought about it, it was indeed the case, and then cried and begged Shen to find someone else to ask who had a desirable man, Shen was really embarrassed, and he had already made up his mind not to care about it, but it was not easy to say it directly, so he had to respond in vain. Seeing this, Ziqing exited the door, and then shouted "Mother", Zhou saw that Ziqing was not good to stay for a long time when he came back, so he got up and said goodbye.

After Zhou left, Shen didn't know what to think, stared at Ziqing for a long time, Ziqing touched his face and asked, "Mother, are you okay?" What are you watching me do? ”

Shen sighed and said, "A female baby, if you take a wrong step, your life will be ruined, my mother is worried about you, don't go the wrong way." Tell my mother about everything, in this life, it's not just about money, some families look glamorous on the surface, but in fact, the inside is not as good as we imagined. You are still young, and you don't understand some things, remember one thing, don't envy other people's money. ”

"Mother, don't worry. If I want money, I will earn it myself, when will I envy other people's things? My daughter has known since she was a child that no matter how good other people's things are, they are not their own, and they can't be wanted. Didn't you mention Sister Ping's matter to your aunt earlier? If she doesn't listen, we can't do anything about it. ”

A few days later, Shen went to the old house to send the August festival gift, and heard Zhou say that he was looking for a matchmaker for Ziping recently, and there was nothing to worry about for a while, so Shen thought about it and asked, "I don't know what kind of family my sister-in-law wants to find?" According to me, let's discuss it with Ziping first, don't find someone here by then, but the child doesn't want to marry, and it won't look good if it comes out. ”

"What you said is reasonable, I'll ask her when I get back. has worked hard to raise her for more than ten years, and she always has to pick someone with a solid family background, who is honest, and this is not the kind of thought that is the mother, and she is reluctant to let her children suffer. Zihe is still young, and I don't know if the one in my stomach is male or female, how much can I help Ziping? Your eldest brother is ten taels of silver a year. After Zhou finished speaking, he picked up a handkerchief and wiped his tears.

Shen had no choice but to say goodbye to persuade him, and he was stunned for a moment before leaving. (To be continued)
