Chapter 337: Making a living
This time, the second uncle set up for Qiu'an, but Aunt Luo was good at dancing with long sleeves, and kept saying compliments to Jingkang and Helan Mingshan on the table, which caused the second uncle's displeasure.
Aunt Luo didn't see the second uncle's dissatisfied eyes, toasted Jingkang, and said inquiringly: "The son is extraordinary, and his temperament is noble, I don't know where he is?"
We talked about this question early in the morning and someone at the second uncle's house would ask it, so we also prepared a response, Jingkang coaxed it in a few words, didn't tell the truth, but didn't speak.
But it was this unclear answer that made Aunt Luo more convinced, Jingkang must be from a noble family, so the courtesy in his words was even greater.
The real main room, the second aunt, has always been silent, and the only thing she said was nothing more than to let us eat more, and always put vegetables for me and Qiu'an.
Qiu An smiled bitterly at me on the table, which made me not surprised.
We didn't eat happily at the table, but Jiubai Jinbao and Qinghuang had a lot of fun, and the three little guys played until we had eaten and were ready to go home, and then we called them back.
Jiubai couldn't play until he was tired, he fell asleep for a long time, leaned on Qinghuang, and shouted that he hadn't played enough.
Jin Bao pulled Aunt Luo's sleeve and looked at Jiubai and Qinghuang with a smile, with a lot of reluctance in his eyes.
Aunt Luo blamed Jin Bao for playing too crazy and being dirty, but Jin Bao didn't refute it, and told Jiubai and Qinghuang, "You two have to play again tomorrow!"
Hearing Jin Bao say this, Aunt Luo was a little annoyed, and after speaking, she glared at Jiubai and Qinghuang with dissatisfaction.
Jing Kang paid attention to Aunt Dao Luo's expression, and picked up Jiubai, Jiubai dozed off, lay on Jing Kang's shoulder, and shouted: "Daddy!"
Jingkang looked at Jiubai and said lovingly: "You little lazy worm, you will be sleepy after playing for a while?!"
Everyone was amused and laughed, but Aunt Luo's face was a little unnatural, but she didn't say anything.
Qinghuang was also very tired, so I pulled her into the carriage and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Qiu An pointed to the gifts we brought and said loudly to the second aunt: "Second aunt, bring some guests here for the first time, bring some things casually, you can dispose of them casually!"
The second aunt glanced at Qiu An with some blame, but didn't say anything.
It was Aunt Na Luo, whose face was quite ugly, but in front of everyone, it was not easy to have a seizure, so she called her maid over and asked her maid to take Young Master Jinbao down.
......
On the carriage, Jiubai was already asleep because he had too much fun, and Qinghuang was no better, leaning on my shoulder and dozing off.
Qiu An said to me gratefully, "Thank you!"
I just said yes and patted her hand.
......
......
In the next few days, under the leadership of Qiu'an, we visited various places in Erdao Mountain.
Although it is winter, the mountains are bare, but there are still a lot of fun, there is a lot of game in the mountains in winter, but every time we catch, we will be released, just to have fun, there is no need to harm the creatures.
Qiu An said unapologetically: "There is not much to play in winter, but if it is spring, the mountains and rivers are thawed, and there is green everywhere, and there will be a lot of fun at that time." ”
Qiu An said
When he was here, he stopped and glanced at Jiubai and Qinghuang, and added, "There are many delicious foods." ”
No matter what season it is, there is always a degree of fun, and since it is a secluded day, it is natural to find a living to live.
Since that day's family banquet, the second aunt will come over from time to time to bring us some dishes, and whatever work there is at home, they will also help to do it, in fact, Qiu'an is already very hardworking, and I have learned to do some housework, and there is nothing that needs the help of the second aunt.
The second aunt likes children, and she loves Jin Bao very much before, since the Jiubai and Qinghuang came, they are also very good to them, and after a few days of hard work, they made two clothes for Jiubai and Qinghuang, children always like bright colors, and the second aunt found out the preferences of Jiubai and Qinghuang, and made the clothes they liked, and Jiubai and Qinghuang took off their original clothes, and wore the clothes made by the second aunt to play everywhere all day long.
From that day on, Jin Bao also liked to come to Jiubai and Qinghuang to play, naturally Aunt Luo was going to follow, Aunt Luo was different from the second aunt, the second aunt came to deliver things every time, but Aunt Luo categorically would not return empty-handed.
Qiu'an introduced to the outside world that I and Jingkang are a family, Jiubai and Qinghuang are our children, Aunt Luo heard Jiubai shout Jingkang Daddy, Qinghuang did not shout, naturally began to watch people get off the plate, treated Jiubai extremely enthusiastically, and was a little alienated from Qinghuang, but in the end, Qinghuang could not see it, and I did not care.
Jingkang is not stingy with Aunt Luo, every time she expresses her envy for our extraordinary background and wealthy family, Jingkang will send some things to her, but under my instructions, Jingkang sends some toys suitable for children, Aunt Luo loves Jinbao very much, but she doesn't care.
Jin Bao's child is simple, not like his mother who has too much thought, and we all like him a lot, and if there is anything, we will keep it for him.
......
After a few more days, we began to look for a way to get by, and it was naturally not a long-term solution.
When I told Qiu An about this idea, she also had this idea, and hit it off with me, and began to discuss what to do.
Qiu'an's parents were in the timber business before their deaths, and they were also rich back then, but her parents still sent her to the imperial city, and others didn't know why.
Qiu An said that her family name is Chang, and the Chang family of Erdaoshan was also famous in Longcheng, and later with the death of Qiu An's parents, the family began to fall into disrepair, and Qiu An's second uncle was also good at business, but not as good as Qiu An's father, so now Qiu An's second uncle's family is only generally rich.
Timber business, don't say that I don't know anything about Qiu'an, even if I understand, it's not good to always show up in the men's pile, as for Helan Mingshan and Jingkang, one has lived in the dark palace for many years, and the other has been pampered in the fairy dragon clan since he was a child, and they don't understand those doorways in the business field.
"What can I do?"
Just when we were at a loss, I suddenly thought of coming to the Great Weaving House in the Imperial City, and I proposed to Qiu An: "Why don't we open a shop and buy some embroidered handkerchiefs, tents, or design patterns?"
Qiu An thought about it and felt that this plan was feasible: "In fact, the people of Erdao Mountain are quite rich, and there are many rich people, but they are located in the middle of nowhere, and small places are not as big as big places. ”
Thinking of it, he rolled up his sleeves and did it.
At first, Jingkang refused me to do this, thinking that I was a princess of a clan, and I was unseemly unseemly.
I naturally don't rely on him, I quarreled with him a few times, I don't like his shelf, since I came here to live in seclusion, I naturally want to forget the past, no matter how noble the past is, it has nothing to do with the present.
