Ziqing set the table for a few of them, and was about to enter the stove room to see the noon meal, Mrs. Qin said: "Ziqing, don't be busy, today I am the east, I ordered some dishes from Fengyiju, and when the time comes, they will send someone to send it over." According to my wishes, I would like to invite all of you to come and sit down, but I am afraid that my sister will not be allowed to go out, so I have to make this decision. ”

Shen Shi smiled when he heard this: "Madame is worried that my family's food is rough and difficult to swallow, right?" ”

"My sister wants to say this, but I really wronged my sister's heart, and my sister just doesn't want to trouble my sister. Yesterday I took a few ladies and wives to Fengyiju, the dishes in it are really some special, I ate well, and I thought of my sister. If my sister is unhappy, in the future, I will bring a mouth for nothing, and my sister should not dislike me for being thick-skinned. Madam Qin was worried that Shen would misinterpret what she meant, so she hurriedly explained.

"It's still Madame Clever. We've been back and forth so many times, why did we never think of asking a restaurant to deliver food to our door? Every time I come, I disturb my in-laws. Mrs. Xia smiled.

"I'm too lazy to think about it, I know that my sister-in-law and Ziqing are here, can I eat without a mouthful of food?" Mrs. Fu also smiled.

"I love to hear this, they are all my own relatives, and I have everything in my field, which is fresh and convenient, and I can't do it again in the future. Otherwise, I'm really unhappy, Mrs. Qin obviously treats me as an outsider? Otherwise, I really hate our country stuff that is rough and difficult to eat. Shen said.

"Sister, don't worry, it won't be next time. To be honest, the food I ate at Ziqing's house last time was more exquisite than mine. Where do you dare to dislike it? It's just that I want to express my heart today, to be a host, and please invite my sister's family. Mrs. Qin explained.

Shen Shi smiled when he heard this: "That's it for today, I will fulfill your wishes." Not anymore. Come, let's sit down. ”

Behind each lady stood a maid, and Mrs. Qin glanced at Shen. So he sent the maids away. Ziqing thought that the Shen family should also buy a maid, or pick a good one for her from Kangzhuang.

"Ziqing, I went to your house last time, and I saw that your porcelain was good, I don't know where you bought it?" Mrs. Qin asked casually.

"My father-in-law has been in the porcelain business, and sometimes he comes across some good and delicate ones. They will stay for their own use or give it away. Ziqing replied.

"Oh, your father-in-law is still in the porcelain business? Where is the porcelain? Mrs. Qin asked.

"In Jingdezhen, porcelain is generally transported from Jingdezhen to Yuecheng and exported to Westerners, and the business is not very large. Just old acquaintances. Ziqing said.

Mrs. Qin said in her heart, several kinds of porcelain from Ziqing's family are obviously official kilns, and they seem to be produced by Jun kilns in the north, and they are not now, how can they be said to be from Jingdezhen? Could it be that Ziqing doesn't know the goods? Or is it deliberately concealed?

Mrs. Qin glanced at Ziqing's demeanor, as if she was not lying, and said with a smile: "I look at the two small plates in your house, which are not bad, not like they are from Jingdezhen." Could it be that your father-in-law will also go to the antique market to shop for goods? ”

"It's really not, it was sent by a friend." Ziqing said with a smile, mainly because Ziqing really didn't know the goods, but she just knew that it was good-looking and a good thing, but she didn't know where it came from. Lin Kangping is knowledgeable. However, he had seen a lot of good porcelain in the Wen family, and he didn't take it seriously, and besides, he didn't want Ziqing to be too careful.

Mrs. Qin didn't ask anymore when she heard this, Mrs. Fu glanced at Mrs. Qin, and probably understood a little in her heart, knowing that Mrs. Qin was in the trap of Ziqing, Mrs. Xia also thought of this, and guessed that the porcelain of Ziqing's family must have been given by the child who sent calligraphy and paintings.

Mrs. Xia smiled: "It was given by the child who came that summer, right?" I heard that it is the relationship of the Wen family? Your family has always been in contact with the Wen family? ”

Mrs. Qin listened to the Wen family and asked, "Isn't it the Wen family in Anzhou City?" I heard that his family's nearly branch is basically in the capital, but I heard that a few years ago, there was an old man in the Wen family who abandoned his office and returned to the field after worrying, and recuperated in Anzhou for a few years, and this year I heard that he was transferred to the governor of Liangjiang? ”

"It's not his house? Who in other families dares to call themselves Wenjia? Mrs. Xia smiled.

Mrs. Qin remembered that the eldest lord of the Wen family had been the governor of Liangguang, and now he was the secretary of the household department. However, what is the relationship between Ziqing and the Wen family? Mrs. Qin didn't want to ask, thinking that there would be a chance in the future, so it would be better to ask Mrs. Xia from the side.

Ziqing didn't know that Mrs. Xia's multiple words actually misled Mrs. Qin, who in the Wen family didn't know? The first thing Lord Qin did when he entered Anzhou was to hand over a visit post to the Wen family, but unfortunately, the close branches of the Wen family all entered Beijing. Mrs. Qin thought about getting closer to Ziqing to see if she could get into the relationship with the Wen family.

At noon, Feng Yiju's guy sent the meal, refused to accept the meal money, said that the owner had confessed, it was a real relative, and giving the money was a slap in the face.

Mrs. Qin said with a smile: "I wanted to be a back, but my sister saved me money, it seems that I can only bother my sister." ”

Shen listened and thanked this young man, Ziqing instructed Xiaolu to give a reward, and at this time, Zeng Ruixiang also entered the door.

Mrs. Fu asked: "Ziqing, it's better for your children and Kang Ping to call together, and there aren't many of us." ”

"My father-in-law went out and went to Yuecheng. Let's eat it ourselves, there is someone at home. Ziqing said.

Mrs. Qin didn't follow after hearing this, so she had to send Xiao Lu to call Ziqing's children, Mrs. Xia saw this, and felt that Mrs. Qin was really unusually good to Ziqing, but what was the reason for this? Could it be the Wen family or the little boy who sent the word panel, but, listening to the voice, it seems that Mrs. Qin doesn't know the existence of the little boy, and Mrs. Qin is also testing Ziqing.

Mrs. Xia smiled at Ziqing and said, "Let's call together, it just so happens that I miss your baby too, do you still know me?" When I saw her, I thought of my good grandson, and I really wanted to hold it in my arms. ”

When Ziqing heard everyone say this, she had to send Xiao Lu to shout, and Mrs. Fu asked, "Why did you go out again?" Aren't things going well in Yuecheng? ”

"I don't know, but the letter from the steward said that he should let him go." Ziqing said.

"Maybe it's still a good thing? Your father-in-law's business is quite big, and after all these years, what are you worried about? Mrs. Xia said.

"That's exactly what you say, maybe it's really a good thing, your family has nobles to help you." Mrs. Qin also added with a smile.

"Okay, we don't understand the affairs of these men, let's sit down, after a while, the food should be cold." Shen said.

After listening to this, the audience smiled and said, "It's not a blind worry, what can we understand?" ”

Zeng Ruixiang took the child to eat on the other side of the screen, a few ladies and wives here were talking and laughing, and Mrs. Qin asked some things about Lin Kangping, she guessed that Ziqing was just a village girl who never went out, even if she read some books, where could she have knowledge? The chrysanthemums in the garden last time, as well as those porcelain, at first glance, Ziqing didn't seem to know the goods, but unfortunately these good things were really invested by the pearl.

However, looking at Ziqing's demeanor and speech, it seems that she is a tasteful person, and she is still better than the average daughter, Mrs. Qin is also a little uncertain, and asked: "I see that Ziqing is also a knowledgeable person, it seems that he has also studied a lot with Master Zeng, right?" ”

"It's really not, it's just that I can recognize a few words a little bit behind her eldest brother, where did you say that you know how to read and know etiquette?" Shen smiled.

Mrs. Qin smiled when she heard this: "I really can't see it. My sister was humble. ”

However, he secretly said in his heart that from Mrs. Fu's words, he seemed to have a good impression of Ziqing.

Coincidentally, Mrs. Fu smiled when she heard this: "Sister-in-law is really modest, but I have heard that my son-in-law's enlightenment Mr. is still Ziqing, can he be an ordinary person who can be Mr. Tanhualang?" ”

Mrs. Qin looked at Ziqing when she heard this, and said with a smile: "It's just right, my little daughter also loves some poetry or something, so it's better to ask Ziqing to come over for guidance one day." ”

Ziqing hurriedly waved her hand and said: "This is really not good, I just know a few words, I have never done poetry, and my wife also knows, we country women, where are these leisure and leisure?" ”

Isn't that a joke? Ziqing hasn't even learned how to write poetry, where can she dare to compose poetry? Isn't it the class to get an axe?

Fortunately, at this time, Shuyan took Yanran to look for Ziqing, and finally relieved Ziqing, and Ziqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

When Mrs. Qin left, she took Ziqing's hand with a smile and said, "Your mother can't go out, you're fine, but you want to come to my house to hang out, I'm so lively, I'm okay, I often invite some ladies and wives to sit at home, I introduce them to you, I heard that your Zhuangzi is good, if you have anything new, just send it." ”

"Thank you, madam, that's good, you've taken care of us." Ziqing said with a smile.

"The good things of Ziqing's family are all sent directly to the capital. If you want me to say, if you leave some of these oranges in Anzhou, they must be able to be sold, and who doesn't want to eat something to relieve your greasy food during the Chinese New Year. Otherwise, you will plant more orange trees, as if we are all poor in Anzhou? Mrs. Fu said with a smile.

Mrs. Fu's words reminded Ziqing that the large barren mountain behind the orange orchard is not owned yet, so it is better to buy it first, there are more and more people in the village now, there are more and more families who are married, and more and more land is divided, it is better to expand the orange orchard, Wang Tieshan's family has experience.

"Oranges? What oranges? Mrs. Qin asked.

"There is a mountain behind this, and after a few days, it will be all red, and then I will pick it off, put it in the cellar, and take it out for the New Year, which is not a new thing." Shen said.

"Really? In that case, don't forget to leave me some then, I'll make up my mind in advance, right? Mrs. Qin said with a smile.

After sending them away, Shen smiled and said, "I see that this prefect's wife has a good temper, and she doesn't have any fights, but I don't know how it will be after a long time?" At the moment, it doesn't look like there's something to ask us for. (To be continued.)
