Chapter 70: Listen to You
Luo Li didn't think that she would be able to come to a conclusion now, and she could make up her mind about her family, what she wanted was Chen Xiuyan to speak.
"Wen Qian's daughter-in-law has bothered you." Luo Li apologized, "If it were my son or nephew who wanted to say goodbye today, I would definitely go to your door to mention it in person, but my daughter's family would always be ......."
"Aunt Cuizhi, I understand." Chen Xiuyan replied, "Before the accident, the reputation of my daughter's family was very important, and I also suffered this loss at the beginning, but fortunately I met Wen Qian." ”
Talking to Chen Xiuyan, Luo Li also noticed that she was different from the rumors, she spoke generously, not arrogant or impatient, and sure enough, the rumors were all exaggerated, "Wenqian's daughter-in-law, you can bring some of my fried fruits back to taste." ”
"Thank you, auntie."
Taoya had already washed the crockpot brought by Chen Xiuyan and put it back in the basket, along with the fruit.
"Mother, it's Laba porridge, but I see that there are more types of beans than when I ate Laba." Waiting for Chen Xiuyan to leave, Taoya came out with porridge, with a sweet smell.
The portion is still a lot, a large jar, enough for each person to share half a bowl.
"He's a guy who knows how to deal with things."
Chen Xiuyan carried the basket, and stretched out her hand as she walked, the fruit in the crockpot was fragrant and crispy, sweet but not greasy, Chen Xiuyan stopped after eating a few, after all, there are people in the family who love sweets more than herself.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Chen Xiuyan made noodles and fried noodles for dinner today.
Fried sauce Chen Xiuyan first fried the oil with fatty meat, added the soybean paste taken from her mother's house, stir-fried evenly, then put a little sugar, added a little salt, and the fried sauce was ready.
Noodles Chen Xiuyan will only cut noodles in the simplest way, cut them for later use, then cut some shredded cucumbers, shredded green onions, and fry a few poached eggs.
As soon as Luo Mingqing's donkey cart entered the door, Chen Xiuyan began to put down noodles, and when the noodles were cooked, they were scooped up and passed in cold water, a bowl per person, scooped with fried sauce, shredded cucumbers and green onions, and then put a poached egg, and dinner was ready.
Those who don't have enough to eat come to a bowl of eight-treasure porridge and eat fried fruits, and everyone eats to their heart's content.
"Little aunt, what snacks will Ming'er give us?" Luo Mingnian is thinking about tomorrow after dinner, and he eats snacks every day these days, Luo Mingnian is used to it, since he brings snacks every day, the relationship between him and his classmates has become a lot closer.
"Do you have anything you want to eat?" Chen Xiuyan asked, "Do you want to make snow jade dumplings?" ”
"Little aunt, you can also make snow jade dumplings?" Luo Mingnian has eaten what Granny Su made, and it is still unforgettable.
"The craftsmanship is not as good as Granny Su, so I plan to make different flavors." Chen Xiuyan soaked glutinous rice, mung beans and red beans.
Before going to bed, Chen Xiuyan grinds the soaked glutinous rice into a pulp and puts it in a large basin to sink it, and the next day you can get moist glutinous rice flour.
After returning to the room, Luo Wenqian had already prepared bath water for Chen Xiuyan, and only after lying on the bed did Chen Xiuyan talk to Mrs. Lizheng today.
"Aunt Cuizhi said that she was the niece of her mother's family for the Ming and Qing Dynasties, what do you think about this?" Chen Xiuyan asked.
"Politely declined." Luo Wenqian didn't think about replying.
"You don't even tell Ming Qing to call the shots?" Chen Xiuyan half-got up and looked at Luo Wenqian in surprise.
"Then you'd better ask him tomorrow." Luo Wenqian sighed.
Chen Xiuyan sat up completely straight now, "What are you sighing, is there something I don't know?" ”
"In the Ming and Qing dynasties, he liked Cai's daughter." Luo Wenqian put his hands behind his head.
"Cai's teachings are the county schools that came before last, and the Ming and Qing dynasties drove me to the county school in a donkey cart since the year before last, and I don't know how he met the daughter of Cai's teachings, so he didn't say anything no matter how he asked."
"The girl went back to her grandmother last year to do her filial piety, and during that time the Ming and Qing dynasties were like losing her soul, I thought it was a young relationship, and it would be good if the matter passed, which Cheng thought he was still worried about." Luo Wenqian was very powerless.
"How do you know he's still in mind?" Chen Xiuyan said curiously.
"A few days ago, the Ming and Qing Dynasties didn't go to see the grain planting situation in our family's land, our family only had eight acres of land in the village, and the remaining fifty-two acres were in Linxian, even with Zhuangzi, Caijiaoyu's hometown was in Linxian." Luo Wenqian sighed again.
"Wen Qian went to the Cai family's old house, although he didn't visit the house, but handed over some melons and fruits produced by Zhuangzi, in my name, I didn't know, but now Cai Jiaoyu personally thanked me and I didn't know, saying that I received a letter from Linxian."
"This doesn't mean anything, people may be thinking about you in the Ming and Qing dynasties." Chen Xiuyan was puzzled, "Did the Ming and Qing dynasties admit that they like other girls?" ”
"I didn't say it myself." Luo Wenqian smiled bitterly, "I didn't ask, I'm afraid that asking will make him even more uncomfortable, the so-called bow your head to marry a daughter-in-law and raise your head to marry a daughter, although Cai's teaching is not of high grade, but how to say that he is also an official, he is just a daughter, even if he doesn't look at the door, he also wants to find a scholar as his son-in-law." ”
"If you have a good future, as your eldest nephew, the Ming and Qing dynasties will definitely add points, and you will do well in this township test." Chen Xiuyan said seriously, "As for whether the Ming and Qing dynasties like people or not, I will try to observe it, first tell Aunt Cuizhi about it, listen to his opinion, and I will also inquire about it from the side." ”
"Let me tell you that this woman's marriage is one thing, the most important thing is to find a confidant, no matter how high the family is, what does it mean if the husband is not a caring person." Chen Xiuyan said, "As long as you work hard, we are not much different from others." ”
Luo Wenqian smiled, unconsciously the burden on his shoulders seemed to be heavy, but looking at Chen Xiuyan's appearance of fighting for his family, his heart was so warm.
"By the way, I wrote a play, do you want to see it?" Chen Xiuyan thought of his script, and asked with a twinkle in her eyes.
Luo Wenqian re-lit the oil lamp, carefully read the story written by Chen Xiuyan, and listened to her plan.
"You're so daring." Luo Wenqian was really taken aback, "I can still think of cooperating with Hongyue Tower, ordinary women just want to stay away when they encounter it, after all, there are people behind the Qinglou." ”
"Who?" Chen Xiuyan asked, "Is there a force behind Hongyue Tower?" ”
"Shandong's largest salt merchant." Luo Wenqian replied, "The reason why salt merchants can become bigger and richer is because there are officials behind them, and I have heard people say that all the green buildings in Shandong are behind the salt merchants. ”
"What did the royal warden tell you?" Chen Xiuyan asked.
"No, it's Ning Youjin." Luo Wenqian thought that Ning Youjin came to him a few days ago to talk about this, mainly because he saw Chen Xiuyan coming out of the Red Moon Tower.
"The Ning family is now the most accomplished person, and now he is the head of the household department, the household department is in charge of the money bags of the whole country, and the businessmen are the most willing to deal with the household department, and the Ning family is the most well-informed about the businessmen." Luo Wenqian explained, "I also heard Ning Youjin talk about it a few days ago. ”
"Then can I sell this play?" Chen Xiuyan tilted her head and muttered.
"Don't take a cut, if you want to sell it, sell it all at once." Luo Wenqian suggested.
"Listen to you."
