Chapter 402: Everyone's Thoughts
In a blink of an eye, it was twenty-six, it was the day of Xiaowen's marriage, because Zeng Ruiqing and Zeng Ruixiang were unable to go to support the scene, it was still Ziqing and Qiuyu who went, this time, Xia Yu did not give the woman any more jewelry, but only gave two cotton cloths, or Ziqing sent them over.
Xia Yu's family set up two tables of banquets, including Xiaowen's grandmother and uncle and aunt, as well as the village Li Zheng and a few elders, Xia Yu still couldn't come out to entertain guests, but his spirit looked stronger than that day, and Ziqing was also a little relieved.
Coming back from Qiao Village, Lin Kangping has bought the barren mountain, after the orange harvest, it is just idle in winter, Lin Kangping found a few people to help Zeng Ruixiang go to Huishan to plant trees, and at the same time, found some people from Kangzhuang to tidy up the barren mountain, however, this time there was no courtyard wall, and the thorn fence wall was used, which was similar to Kangzhuang.
Ziqing followed and took a look, there are four hills, there are more than 500 acres, Lin Kangping from Kangzhuang to four families, a family is responsible for a mountain, in addition to managing orange trees, but also to raise chickens and sheep, because Wang Tieshan is here, Wang Tieshan's daughter married a young man in Kangzhuang, this time, Lin Kangping transferred Wang Tieshan's daughter and son-in-law, and several other families are also responsible for fruit trees or breeding in Kangzhuang, there are those who don't understand, Lin Kangping asked them to ask Wang Tieshan, Lin Kangping mentioned Wang Tieshan as a steward, At the same time, he is responsible for seedling raising.
On this day, Lin Kangping had just summoned people to dig lotus root in Qingyuan, but he didn't expect Shen to come with Mrs. Fu, Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Xia. ”
"What's this? We haven't seen it yet, but we can eat a fresh lotus root. You're not going to welcome us, are you? Mrs. Qin said with a smile.
Ziqing couldn't help but smile when she heard this: "What did Madam say, we are from a small family, a distinguished guest like you, but we can't ask for it." ”
"I just said that your family is a good man. I didn't expect your mouth to be like honey. My lord is full of praise for your father-in-law, saying that he can't see it, he is young. With this kind of action, he thought so far and dared to go abroad to earn the money of Westerners. Mrs. Qin said with a smile.
Mrs. Xia didn't know that Lord Qin had seen Lin Kangping, so she was a little puzzled after listening to Mrs. Qin's words, but Mrs. Xia understood one thing. Lin Kangping's business is not small, and he deals with Westerners. smiled and said: "No, my daughter-in-law has seriously deviated from her sister a lot of good things, saying that this sister has loved her since she was a child, and she is willing to do anything." I just saw that the gems on those jewelry didn't look like ours, they turned out to be Western goods. How can this Westerner's silver be so easy to earn? This Lin Kangping is really capable. ”
Mrs. Xia's words not only praised Ziqing, but also pointed out the deep sisterhood between Ziyu and Ziqing, Ziqing still heard this, of course, Mrs. Fu and Mrs. Qin naturally heard it.
Mrs. Fu said secretly, if you want to talk about closeness, Ziqing is also close to Zixi, and the shares of this glass factory are given to Zixi Sancheng. Moreover, listening to Jiahe's meaning, Zixi split up not long after he was born, and the Shen family wanted to go out to do farm work, relying on Ziqing to pull Zixi, and wait for Ziyu to be born. The conditions at home have improved, and the Shen family has not gone out to do things anymore, and has stayed at home with Ziyu, so if you want to talk about closeness, it has to be Zixi's feelings and Ziqingshen.
Therefore, Mrs. Fu listened to Mrs. Xia's words, and said with a smile: "I said that this year, I saw my daughter wearing a dress in a silver-red feather veil fox skin, that piece of cloth, but it cost dozens of taels of silver, she said that it was given by Ziqing, and it was also from the Westerners, but it was really good-looking." ”
Mrs. Qin smiled when she heard this: "Really? Ziqing, what other good things do you have at home, why don't you let me open my eyes too? ”
Mrs. Qin was worried that she couldn't find a chance to visit Ziqing's inner courtyard, but it happened that when these two people said this, they gave Mrs. Qin an excuse.
Ziqing smiled: "What good things can I have in my house?" It's just that my father-in-law went out and thought it was fun and good-looking, and he brought so many things, and it was also a fresh, what good things have not been seen by Mrs. I don't dare to be ugly, and I took it badly, isn't it smiling and generous? ”
"Speaking of this, I think of one thing, Ziqing, where did you buy the silver silk noodles for your Yanran's birthday last time, my old lady said that she has a bad appetite these days and wants to eat some noodles, I think of your silver silk noodles, but there is no silver silk noodles in the entire Anzhou Mansion?" Mrs. Xia asked.
"It's not for nothing, it was sent from the capital, right? When I went home, I said, my old lady also wanted to eat, she was a northerner, she loved to eat pasta, I searched around and didn't find it, during the New Year, let my daughter bring some back, and there was no Ziqing's taste, and those dim sum, but I haven't seen the delicate patterns. Mrs. Fu said.
"What you said, I remembered that there were a lot of longevity noodles in the box sent by the Wen family at that time, but I didn't see the dim sum?" Mrs. Xia said.
Shen Shi listened and asked Ziqing: "But there are still any?" Find out and send two hangings to others? ”
"Mother, it's been half a year, and if you want to, you have already had bugs." Ziqing replied.
Mrs. Qin listened to the secret words, it seems that Ziqing knows more than the Wen family. However, she went back to inquire, Lin Kangping was just a little guy from the Wen family, and he was the personal servant of the third young master of the Wen family, who had helped the third young master do business for a few years, and there was no reason to maintain it like this.
At this moment, Xiao Fan asked, "Grandma, the master said that there is a yellow eel, leave a few guests to try it at noon." ”
Ziqing was worried about how to change the topic, and after listening to it, she hurriedly said: "Okay, also, pick up the best lotus root, send it to the stove, and make a pot of lotus root pork rib soup." Others let Xiaozi look at the arrangement, to be chic. ”
After Xiaofen left, Ziqing said to several elders: "Why don't you four go and play a few laps, and eat something fresh at noon, but it's really a coincidence, otherwise, I will send it to each family." I just finished picking the orange yesterday, and I was thinking about waiting for today's lotus root to come down and send it to the elders. It's not a good thing, and it's good not to dislike the wives of a few ladies. ”
Mrs. Fu heard this and said to Mrs. Qin: "Ziqing's oranges are indeed sweeter than others, let's take a basket back first, and when we finish eating, we will send someone to ask for it, we have to bring more, and the family can't hold it, it's a pity that it didn't go bad." ”
Mrs. Qin smiled and said: "This is really cheeky, I still have to worry about it after eating, you say, what kind of gift should I give you?" ”
Shen Shi listened and hurriedly said: "Madame has already sent a lot of things, our things are home-grown, and they are not worth a few silver coins, that is, we didn't treat everyone as outsiders, otherwise, who would be embarrassed to send them?" Don't make people laugh, we can't afford to give gifts, and make up for this worthless thing. ”
Shen's words reminded Mrs. Fu of the day, when Mrs. Xia laughed at Xiao Yi's housekeeper, she only gave a picture of a word when she had no money to give a gift, and she almost got into trouble, so she couldn't help but laugh. It just so happened that Ziqing also remembered this and secretly laughed.
Mrs. Qin had been paying attention to Ziqing, and when she saw Ziqing and Mrs. Fu snickering, she asked, "What are you two happy about?" Don't say it quickly, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, I see that the two of you clearly have ghosts. ”
Seeing Ziqing and Mrs. Fu snickering, Mrs. Xia also reacted for a while, blushing a little. What a shrewd person Mrs. Qin was, when she saw that Mrs. Xia's expression was wrong, she stopped asking.
Fortunately, Shen didn't mean it, and after speaking, he took everyone into the West House, Xiao Bai had already set up the mahjong, and Xiao Huang was now following Shen and knew to mention Shen one or two.
The four ladies sat down, Xiaobai put a small table next to each seat, put tea and snacks, and left, Mrs. Qin took a sip of the teacup and said: "Ziqing, have you ever thought about opening a shop in Anzhou, specializing in selling Westerners' things, I heard that their foreign cloth is cheaper than our envoys." ”
Ziqing was stunned for a moment and asked, "Has Madame seen their foreign cloth?" ”
"Well, I saw it when I was in Lingzhou, it is close to Yuecheng, and there are some cheap foreign goods entering the city."
"I also have some in my family, it is indeed more than our envoys, I really haven't thought about opening a shop, these things are all my family's father-in-law's worries. I've heard him say that it would be nice to buy a Westerner's weaving machine and study it. Ziqing said casually.
"Hey, this is a good idea, why don't you let your family Kangping do this, go back, if you need to use people, let my master find a few people who understand and understand." Mrs. Qin said.
"I don't understand these things, if you want to ask my father-in-law, I just heard him say a word." Ziqing hurriedly explained.
"No, who understands that? I think we women just need to learn how to spend money. Naturally, men are worried about this money-making thing. Mrs. Fu said.
Mrs. Fu understood Mrs. Qin's meaning, she was afraid that Ziqing didn't know the depths, so she hurriedly diverted the conversation, Lin Kangping wanted to cooperate, and she could only cooperate with her master, after all, she knew the roots, not to mention, her lord's power was not weak, in two years, who would do it in the Anzhou prefect? Zifu and Zixi have the help of the Wen family and the Xiaoyi family in the capital, and the economy is backed by the dividends of the glass factory, and the promotion is inevitable.
Mrs. Qin smiled when she heard this: "That's not it, this is a blessing." I'm just worrying about it. ”
Mrs. Qin's words changed, and Mrs. Fu didn't say much, but Mrs. Xia didn't understand, and said: "If Ziqing's family buys Westerners' looms, they just want to open a weaving workshop, and you want me to say, if you do it, make it bigger, I haven't heard of any weaving workshop that uses Westerners' machines." ”
Mrs. Xia meant that the glass-like shares of each family, but seeing that Mrs. Qin was present, she still didn't say it, as long as Ziqing spread the stall widely, when the time came, Ziyu's benefits would be indispensable. What's more, she also has three sons-in-law, and they are basically idle, it seems that it is time to introduce her son-in-law to Lin Kangping. It's a pity that Ziyu is not in front of him.
