Lian Su didn't go out all morning, anyway, Qi Zhen didn't meet him, because the rouge water had been ready, but Xu Laohan wouldn't go to the capital these days, so Qi Zhen didn't pour out his efforts to enter Beijing.

Before noon, the Lian family suddenly came to visit.

The person who came was none other than the village chief of Dawan Village, whose surname was Yu, and the Yu family who had gone to Lian Su before was a distant relative.

The village chief was not very old, but he was a little old, his beard and hair were all white, his face was full of wrinkles, and he was obviously a man of less than fifty, but he looked like a seventy-year-old man.

Seeing the village chief, Qi Zhen was a little stunned, and hurriedly invited the village chief into the house and brought him a bowl of water.

Qi Zhen asked, "Why is the village chief here today?" ”

Hearing the movement outside, Lian Su finally walked out of the room, but the man's face was still not good-looking, and he didn't even look at Qi Zhen, and bowed to the village chief.

The village chief glanced at Lian Su, with a smile on his face, walked up to Lian Su, patted him on the shoulder, and said:

"It's a great thing that the old man came to your house today!"

Lian Su's eyes flashed, he was a native of Dawan Village, and he also knew a little about Village Chief Xu, so he naturally knew that this old village chief was not as honest as he seemed to be.

"I don't know what's going on?"

"Asu, you used to be a teacher in the Yu family, you should know that there is a girl in the Yu family, who is exactly sixteen this year, and she looks good and is ......"

Having said that, even Qi Hao, who was standing beside Lian Su, sensed the village chief's intention, which was nothing more than to be a matchmaker.

However, after living in Dawan Village for so many years, Miss Yu is not a good character, I heard that before she left the cabinet, she had a trouble with a singer, and she was even enlarged by others.

The village chief said goodbye to Miss Yu, who is this from their Lian family?

Qi Hao's face was a little bad when she first appeared, and she didn't care about Lian Su who was standing in front of her, and she didn't smile and said:

"Village chief, Asu is still young, the man should start a business first, and then start a family, now that our Lian family is almost unable to open the pot, how can we let Miss Yu come to the house to suffer?"

Hearing Qi Hao's unkind words, the smile on the village chief's face also subsided, turned his head to look at Lian Su, and said:

"Asu, what do you mean? Is it up to such a woman who eats inside and out? ”

Lian Su looked like a young handsome, because of illness before, he became skinny and skinny, and he has been well raised recently, and he has more meat on his body, and he looks more handsome, no wonder Miss Yu gave up the play and fell in love with Lian Su.

Shi Shiran saluted at the village chief and said honestly:

"As the saying goes: The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and my marriage should naturally be decided by my sister-in-law."

Seeing that Lian Su didn't save face for himself at all, a trace of gloom crossed the village chief's eyes, and he patted Lian Su on the shoulder again, and said:

"O young man! It's just that the ambition is high, but the ambition is too high, which is not necessarily a good thing! ”

As he spoke, the village chief sneered, and then walked out of the Lian family.

Looking at the back of this old thing, Qi Zhen frowned slightly, and a trace of worry appeared on her little face, and asked:

"If I'm not mistaken, Miss Yu is the niece of the village chief, and now that she has been rejected, I'm afraid our family will have a hard time in the future."

Lian Su didn't even look at Qi Zhen and said:

"It's me who refuses to get married, and I have nothing to do with you, what are you afraid of?"

Turning to walk out, when he reached the threshold, Lian Su paused and said:

"My marriage, I make my own decisions, so I don't have to worry about my sister-in-law."

Hearing this, Qi Hao sneered.

What Lian Su said just now is very nice, what kind of eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, but where would this bastard treat her as his mother?

I'm afraid that in Lian Su's heart, she used the gift money of Lian Jun's death to supplement her mother's family, which has become a thorn in Lian Su's heart, and she can't pull it out no matter what, even if Qi Zhen does more, in Lian Su's eyes, she is also an outsider.

Thinking of this, Qi Hao's face became even more ugly, but she is not a twenty-eight girl, her mind is naturally a lot more mature, and she will not fall out with Lian Su because of this little thing.

In his previous life, he owed Lian Su a life, so what if he came to repay his debts in this life? Zuo should just do good deeds and accumulate virtue.

As the days passed, Qi Zhen left a few bottles of rouge water, and sold the rest.

She made more rouge water this time than before, and sold more than three taels of silver, plus the previous silver money, she also made up five taels of silver.

Qi Zhen wants to set up a shop in the capital, but the façade in the capital, even if the location is not very good, it costs two hundred taels of silver, and her five taels of silver are of no use.

Thinking about it like this, Qi Zhen couldn't help but feel a little deflated, the weather has been getting colder and colder recently, it is not very hot during the day, and when it comes to night, it has to be covered with a thick quilt so that it will not catch a cold.

Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, looking at the woman in the mirror, she gave birth to a goose egg face, a pair of apricot eyes with watery eyes, and the tip of the nose is small and straight, very delicate.

Originally, Qi Zhen's skin was a little rough, so even if her facial features were outstanding, she still couldn't be called a beauty.

Recently, she has used the flower dew and grease of osmanthus every day to smooth her face, and it has only been less than half a month, and the skin on her face has become much fairer than before, and there are still some pores on her face, which are not so obvious these days.

Reaching out and touching his face lovingly, he didn't leave his hands, as if he had just peeled the shell of a hard-boiled egg.

The more she looked at Qi Zhen, the happier she became, and she couldn't help but smile, and her mood was a little better.

The last time she went to the capital to sell rouge water, she pulled a piece of lotus pink brocade and made belly pockets and bloomers, the brocade was extremely smooth, and it was very soft on her body, not as rough as cotton at all.

Qi Zhen didn't forget the three members of the Lian family, this time she was free again, just in time for Xu Changgui to enter Beijing to sell rice, so she entered the capital by the way.

As soon as he entered the city gate, Qi Zhen and Xu Changgui had a good time, and then parted ways.

Walking alone on the bustling streets, Qi Zhen went straight to Buzhuang.

She had only made a small coat out of brocade before, but she didn't make a serious coat, but now she walked to the cloth village, looked at the ready-to-wear clothes placed inside, and carefully selected them.

Qi Zhen was wearing a dark cotton skirt, which looked gray and not eye-catching at all, no different from the clothes of ordinary peasant women.

But she couldn't stand the fact that she had a good face, and her skin was very fair recently, as if she had just made a bean curd, so that everyone in the cloth village couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

picked out two skirts, both of which are inconspicuous colors, after all, Qi Zhen still has to stay in Dawan Village, if she is a widow who wears it too fresh during her filial piety, I am afraid that the gossip in Dawan Village will not stop.

After choosing his own clothes, Qi Zhen made two clothes for each of the three members of the Lian family, both of which were azure.

The Lian family is very handsome, and wearing azure adds a bit of elegance, which is really good-looking.

However, Lian Su's life is a head taller than the dead Lian Jun, with broad shoulders, thin waist and long legs, if it weren't for the fact that others were thinner, he really didn't look like a scholar, but like a troubled bandit.

When she was in Buzhuang, Qi Zhen was really distressed, and she could make three sets of fabrics for Lian Su to make those two sets of clothes.

Thinking about Lian Su's stinky face again, as if he couldn't smile at all, Qi Zhen's heart was uncomfortable, the fabrics used for him were all inferior, Rao was like this, these two sets of clothes were much better than the ones Lian Su wore before.

Because now in October, Qi Zhen bought a few sets of cotton clothes in the cloth village, she can't enter Beijing often, and the needlework is not good, so it is better to do it directly in the cloth village, and it saves a lot of trouble.

After spending 400 wen in the cloth village, Qi Zhen came out and dared to go to the city gate with a large bag and a small bag.

Hiding under an elm tree at the city gate, Qi Zhen didn't wait long before he saw Xu Changgui coming from afar.

The man was born very tall and strong, and the tendons and flesh on his body were one after another, and he looked very strong.

Xu Changgui lifted Qi Hao's things onto the ox cart and smiled at Qi Zhen:

"Brother and sister, hurry up and get in the car, let's go back."

Xu Changgui is very honest, knowing that Qi Zhen was widowed at a young age and had a very sad life, so he took care of her.

The two drove back from Beijing, because Qi Zhen bought a lot of things, Xu Changgui was afraid that Qi Zhen would work hard, so he directly carried the things into the Lian family.

Qi Zhen is really a little grateful to Xu Changgui in her heart, although she is greedy for money, she is not a fool, who is sincere and who is false.

At this moment, Qi Zhen's face was full of smiles, a shallow dimple was revealed on the white cheeks, and her eyes were watery, which made people's hearts melt at a glance.

Xu Changgui looked at the woman in front of him, and only felt that Qi Zhen had been a lot whiter recently, how could he suddenly become so good-looking, he was a little stunned, and only heard the woman say in a coquettish voice:

"Brother Changgui, thank you so much, if you hadn't taken me to the capital today, I'm afraid that in Dawan Village, I wouldn't have been able to buy so many things anyway."

Reaching out and scratching the back of his head, Xu Changgui only felt that his mouth was very dry, and now Qiu Laohu would no longer be powerful, but his face was very hot, and his nose was a little itchy.

As soon as Xu Changgui wanted to say something, he heard a steady footstep, and it turned out to be Lian Su walking out of the house.

"Why is Brother Changgui here?"

Seeing Lian Su before, Xu Changgui was a little weak-hearted, originally he thought that he might feel wrong, but when he faced Lian Su today, he didn't dare to look directly into Ah Su's eyes, he only felt that those eyes were dark, like a deep well, bottomless.

"This is not to take your sister-in-law to the capital, I saw that she bought a lot of things, so I helped send them back."

Hearing this, Lian Su glanced at the burden in Xu Changgui's hand, and his thin lips slowly hooked up a smile, but Qi Zhen on the side looked at it, and only felt that the back of his neck was steaming, and he didn't know what was going on.
