Chapter 282: Disappointment

"Well, I've been in the Li family these days, what's wrong with my mother?" Of course, Shen Anan would not say what happened to him, otherwise his family would not be able to help much, and he would be worried in vain. Something happened to the Li family, and it seems that the family doesn't know about it.

"Then did the Li family say that they wanted to come to the door to propose marriage, after all, you are a girl, you always run to other people's houses, but you have no reputation, and it is not good for your reputation." After Cao finished speaking, he stared at the expression on his daughter's face with a somewhat nervous expression.

Sure enough, the look on Shen Anan's face looked slightly unnatural. "This matter, mother, don't worry, it will be done. It's just that something has happened to the Li family in the past few days, and I need to deal with it, and I'm embarrassed to speak. ”

Shen Anan knew that if he told the truth, he said that he didn't want to marry Li Sheng so quickly. The Cao family might pull her directly and go to the Li family to settle this family business.

She's using procrastination now, and she's dragging it out for a moment.

"Something happened to the Li family, what's wrong?" Cao couldn't help but feel that her eyelids jumped, something happened to the Li family, how could she not know about such a big thing. And there is no news outside that something happened to the Li family? Cao couldn't help muttering in his heart.

"The Li family's vineyard was set on fire and burned more than half of it, if you count it according to the loss of silver, it must be tens of thousands of taels." In order to let her mother know the seriousness of the matter, Shen Anan deliberately said a little more about the lost silver.

Shen Anan didn't know if what he did this time was right, but he had to try it if he had some hope, it was better than them just leaving it in the ground and rotting. If you can make your own wine, the response is good, and you may be able to open up a new market. There are not many varieties of wine here, and there is no wine on the market, so you must know that people in later generations have a high regard for wine.

Even if the wine she brews can't be of great use, it's okay to stay at home and drink it, or try to sell it in Li Kee. This is not to say that Shen Anan is thinking about shoddy. It's because she's tasted the sweetness of these ice grapes, and after the grapes are peeled, there is absolutely no problem with winemaking. On the contrary, because this wine has been burned by fire, it will have other auxiliary effects.

Shen An'an remembers seeing a report there that said that the ingredients that have been burned in the fire will have a special taste when used to make wine. Of course, whether the grapes will have unexpected effects will be proved by facts.

Just when Shen An'an was wandering around the world, thinking about making wine by herself, Cao Shi listened to her words over there, but her face changed.

couldn't help but pull her daughter and asked, "How could something happen to the Li family's vineyard, and what's going on now?" ”

Tens of thousands of taels of silver, in the eyes of the Cao family, that is an astronomical amount, but the Li family has lost so much at once, which is a big deal.

"I stayed at Li's house for the past two days to help them find a way. The key is that these ice grapes are not ordinary grapes, they are to be paid tribute to the emperor and the Queen Mother Lafayette and the ladies in the palace. ”

"The grapes that are paid tribute are still to be offered to the queen mother and the emperor to eat, my God, what is going on with their Li family?" Cao's expression was even more panicked now, to be able to have a relationship with the emperor Lafayette, ordinary people like them would never dare to think of it in their lives. But the Li family did poke such a basket this time, which was too terrifying for her.

"Then what if you can't hand it over, will you be beheaded?" Cao couldn't help but ask again.

"Yes, that's a tribute, something happened to the tribute, you said that the officials above can't pay the difference, will you blame it." Shen Anan talked to the Cao family about this matter as if he was chattering, and he didn't think too much about it. Unexpectedly, Cao Shi thought of something else.

I just heard her babbling, patted her chest with her hand and said: "It's okay, it's okay, fortunately, our two families are not related to each other, otherwise, then our family may also be implicated." ”

Shen An'an was immediately unhappy when he heard this, and couldn't help but glance at Cao Shi as if he knew her for the first time. knew that her mother was greedy for money and a little philistine, but she didn't expect that she would be so profit-seeing. If you lose your basic conscience, you will not be in vain. She suddenly said, "Mother, how can you say that? The Li family is not thin on me, and Mrs. Wang still has the grace of knowing me. How can you see that something is wrong with her family, and she is in a hurry to clear up the relationship? ”

Unexpectedly, Cao didn't feel inappropriate at all, glanced at his daughter and said, "You kid just don't know the seriousness of the matter." Do you know that offending the emperor is a crime of deception, and you will be killed. I'm telling you, you must not get involved in this matter anymore. So as not to regret it when you get it. ”

"Regrets? All I know is that if I don't help them, I'll regret it. "Shen An'an said that he cut gold and cut iron.

Seeing her daughter's expression, Cao knew that she had made up her mind, so she couldn't help but be a little worried, and couldn't help but comfort: "Nizi! We are small households, but we can't stand the toss. If our family is implicated, then our family will have to be unlucky. ”

"Don't you know, after my mother knows that you will make money, the joy in her heart will always wake up with a smile when she is halfway through her dream. I always think that one day our life will slowly get better. I can also wear silk and satin like other Mrs. Kuo, live in a good house, and no longer have to worry about what to eat today, and no longer have to worry about the lack of rice in the rice bowl tomorrow, and sigh. Don't blame your mother, your mother is really poor. Even if we want to take care of it, we have to have that ability, and we don't have to put ourselves into it. ”

Cao couldn't help crying after speaking, wiping his tears while crying.

Shen Anan didn't buy it, not to mention that nothing like this has happened for the time being. Even if something like this really happens, she won't ignore it, her mother is good, and when she sees that people are good, she can't wait to let her post it upside down. Seeing that people were going to suffer, the soles of his feet were oiled and slipped faster than anyone else. It's like they're afraid that others will pull them.

I saw that her whole little face was straightened, but her expression was never more serious. "Mother, you can't be so selfish. I naturally have my reasons for doing things, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

"Hey, I said you Nizi, why don't you listen to your mother, will your mother harm you?" Cao Shi saw that he said a lot of words, and his daughter was still indifferent, so she couldn't help but be a little anxious.

"I know you won't harm me, but I can't watch their Li family suffer and stand by and watch by myself." After Shen Anan said this, he seemed a little tired, leaned on the bed, and leaned inward. "Mother, I'm tired and want to rest."

Cao's mouth opened, he wanted to say something, but he didn't open his mouth after all, but he regretted it a little in his heart, he spoke too fast just now. offended his daughter, and said it after half a ring. "That mother is out, you can rest for a long time."

Shen Anan didn't speak, as if he was already asleep.

The Cao family could only retreat with an embarrassed face, and Shen Sanlang, who was sitting at the door cutting wood, saw the look of his mother-in-law, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "What's wrong with you, your face is so ugly." ”

"I'm fine, I'm going to cook, and you'll give me a hand later."

Shen Sanlang glanced at Cao, nodded, and snorted in his mouth. In fact, Shen Saburo listened to the words of the mother and daughter outside, he is an honest man, even if he has any thoughts in his heart, he will not say it easily.

Since Cao didn't mention it, he didn't say anything, and continued to bow his head and sharpen the wood in his hand.

Some of these woods were cut back from the mountains, and some were cut in other places, and at this time there was no one to contract the mountain, these mountains are basically wild mountains, that is, the wood, animals, wild flowers and grasses on the mountains can be hunted, cut and picked at will.

The family is ready to build a new house, and there is a lot of preparation to do, Shen Sanlang has nothing to do these days, so he goes outside to look for some wood, and goes to the river bay to pick up some stones and the like, and get some back when he has time, which will always come in handy.

Stones are used when laying the foundation of the house, and when filling the foundation, the more stones are placed, the smoother the stones, which has a great effect on the firmness of the house. Wood can be used to make furniture, and when it is time to go up the beams, it can be used to make beams and ridges. Although the money for building a house in the family this time was all taken out by Shen An'an, it was a little bit that could be saved.

This will Shen Anting finally found Shen Anxiu sitting alone on the embankment bank of the large reservoir at the east end of the village.

Seeing her sitting on the embankment, it seemed that she might fall at any time, Shen Anting couldn't help but secretly sweat, quietly walked behind her, and grabbed her arm.

"Sister Xiu'er, what are you doing here?"

It seemed that he had already guessed that Shen Anting would follow, and the expression on Shen Anxiu's face did not change, but became a little cold.

"Brother Ting, why are you here?" The tone of speech is completely different from before.

"I'm here to look for you back, what the hell happened, you ran out of the house?" Seeing that Shen Anxiu was silent. He continued: "You don't know my mother's temperament yet, her mouth is like that, she speaks without brains, don't go to your heart." ”

Shen Anxiu couldn't help but look at Shen Anting, only to see his dark eyes staring at him tightly, and his well-contoured face looked nervous. To be honest, none of their sisters look particularly alike, and Shen Anting and Shen Anan are outstanding.

Her appearance can only be regarded as ordinary.

"Why are you looking at me, don't you know me?"

Unexpectedly, Shen Anxiu actually smiled and said, "It's the first time I've discovered our brother Ting, and before I knew it, I had grown into a handsome young man." ”

Shen Anting couldn't help but blush, lowered his head and said, "Sister, let's go back, let's talk about something when we go back."

Shen Anting felt that her sister was a little abnormal today, and the way she spoke always made people feel a little hairy in their hearts.
