Chapter 297: Windfall
Cui Jiu only felt a chill in his lower body, and straightened his chest, "How can you let Ah Qiao do this, you don't have to dirty your hands!" ”
He Zhichun was so shocked by his brazenness that he couldn't say a word, this person's mouth is made of honey!
What about the dignity and pride of your family, have you fed them to the dogs?
He Zhichun thought about it, glanced at Cui Jiu, and sighed, "I actually didn't answer." Because if you don't meet it, you don't know what you'll do. This kind of thing, once it happens, it will be difficult to recover. ”
Cui Jiu took a piece of boiled egg and handed it to He Zhichun, "Then don't meet it." So does the eldest brother-in-law have to take a concubine in the end? ”
He Zhichun came again as soon as he mentioned the fire, "Na, cheap concubine." What do you say, I'm afraid that the slut is pregnant, and the heirs will be left behind. I'll wait to see that he likes to be a father, and when the time comes, I will carry a basket of firecrackers and come to the door to congratulate. ”
As far as Yu Shengniang's virtue is concerned, it's not that she curses Zhao Shengping, and look at it!
He Zhichun was so angry that he didn't want to see Zhao Shengping, so he didn't go to Grandpa and Grandma's courtyard, and he used the morning food alone, and he didn't go either, as well as He Zhili.
He Zhichun ran out, cleaned his mouth with salt water, wiped his hands, and then stood up, "I'm going to send my sister home in a while." Grandma wanted to keep her, but she refused and was very stubborn. ”
Cui Jiu didn't say much, this is the matter of the He family, he is a big man, and it is not easy to get involved in such a thing.
"Then go with Ah Qiao, let's go to Sinong Temple in a while, Daddy originally planned, and today he will work with us to use those new style farm tools you bought."
He Zhichun nodded.
The two went to Grandma He's courtyard together, and as soon as they entered the door, they could feel a strange atmosphere.
Yan Zhaoling was sitting next to He Zhishi and persuaded: "Sister has worked hard for so long, and now there is no money at home, why don't you even invite a servant?" Yuan'er and Qing'er also need to be taken care of. If Sister Ah doesn't accept it, others will say that we are ruthless as younger brothers and daughters-in-law. ”
He Zhichun followed Yan Zhaoling's line of sight and saw two mothers-in-law standing next to Yan Zhaoling, one of whom was smiling and groaning, looking very kind.
The other one is Kong Wu is powerful, with a fierce face, and at first glance, he has the strength to do rough work.
He Zhichun immediately understood what Yan Zhaoling meant, this must be the helper she found for her because she was afraid that He Zhishi would be angry after returning home.
"Sister, take it back. With their help, you can also free up time to raise Yuan'er and Qing'er well. He Zhishi saw that He Zhichun's aura was strong, for fear that she would refuse, and she would have to make a bigger move, so she had to respond.
Speaking of which, when she heard Zhao Shengping's decision early this morning, she was also a little disheartened.
The carriage drove all the way to Nancheng, and He Zhishi and Zhao Shengping lived in Tongshanfang, a little away from He's house.
Compared with the small buildings in the north, most of the houses here are neat and tidy, not very large, and they are all ordinary people's homes.
He Zhichun led He Zhishi out of the carriage and looked at Zhao Shengping and Yu Shengniang.
Yu Shengniang shrank in fright when she saw He Zhichun, and hid behind Zhao Shengping, about she came back to her senses, and she also knew that she had said the wrong thing, and she was no longer as spicy as before.
The two mothers-in-law hugged Zhao Yuan and Zhao Qing into the door.
The small courtyard is not big, and you can't see it when you look down.
He Zhichun was about to warn Zhao Shengping again, when he heard a rhythmic sound from the yard next door, He Zhichun had been worrying about the sound of the loom these days, and it was all too familiar to the sound.
This is clearly the sound of weaving, but this rhythm is much faster than hearing Mrs. Cen weaving before.
This is definitely not something that can be explained by ingenuity alone.
He Zhichun was overjoyed, pulled He Zhishi and asked, "Sister, do you know the lady who lives next door to your house?" Isn't she very good at weaving? ”
He Zhishi pointed to the wall over there, "Are you talking about Ah Xiu?" Ah Xiu is from Yazhou, and her family's Langjun, like your brother-in-law, is also studying in Chang'an City to prepare for the Jinshi examination. On weekdays, we often visit the house, and we are acquaintances. ”
"If you want to see Ah Xiu, then I'll take you over."
He Zhichun nodded, He Zhishi packed a small basket of snacks and led He Zhichun to the next door.
Cui Jiu stood in the yard and waited, looking at the neatly maintained yard, and there was a lush osmanthus tree, which was now blooming and fragrant.
He pulled a leaf with his hand, blew the golden stamen growing on his head, and said to Zhao Shengping: "Have you heard that the eldest brother-in-law loved Concubine Xiao Shu a while ago, and was ruthlessly involved by Yushitai?" ”
After he said this, he didn't speak again, and he didn't wait for Zhao Shengping to reply, and teased Zhao Yuan and Zhao Qinglai.
He Zhichun followed He Zhishi and waited at the door.
There was a crisp voice from the courtyard, "Which one is it?" ”
He Zhishi smiled, "Ah Xiu, it's me, I'm Shi Niang, I just came back from my mother's house, and I'll send you some snacks." ”
The door soon opened, and a lady about seventeen or eighteen years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and some dark skin, poked her head out with a smile, "Sister He, come in quickly, who is this nobleman?" ”
Seeing He Zhichun dressed in brocade, Ah Xiu was stunned for a moment, and pulled the blue and white flower headscarf on his head.
He Zhishi handed the basket to Ah Xiu, "It's my maiden sister, I heard the sound of your loom, and I was curious to come and have a look." ”
When Ah Xiu heard He Zhishi say this, he was immediately relieved, who did not have a rich relative who lived in this Chang'an City.
He Zhichun stretched out his head to take a look, and sure enough, he saw a spinning wheel and a loom in the courtyard, which were very different from those in the Central Plains.
Yazhou is close to the sea, and there are many foreign things, and most of them are sold by sea when they weave cloth.
"You're weaving white cloth?" He Zhichun walked over in surprise and took a look.
Ah Xiu was stunned, "The little lady is so knowledgeable, in our Li nationality, this is called cotton cloth, I came to Chang'an to go to Nafang City to take a look, this thing is also available in Xizhou, it is called white cloth." ”
He Zhichun almost crossed her waist and laughed three times, it turned out that the master was right under her nose!
After Yan Zhaoling became pregnant, He Zhili looked for white folded cloth everywhere, but he heard that this kind of white folded cloth was finer and softer than linen, and more absorbent than silk. He felt that it was very suitable to be a pee for his newborn little nephew......
There are also these white stacks in Chang'an City, but they are very expensive, after all, there is no Central Plains, and if they are transported from Xizhou, it is too wasteful of manpower and material resources.
The people are reluctant to buy it, how cheap the local homespun cloth is; Rich people are reluctant to buy it, because since the Wei and Jin dynasties, the big guys have paid attention to the kind of graceful and elegant feeling.
The cotton cloth is comfortable, easy to wrinkle, and does not have the luster of silk.
Only people like He Zhili, looking for a middle coat, or wearing a novelty, will buy such a horse or two.
