Chapter 201: Slap a sweet date
Along the way, all Xu Hongda thought about was that his mother offended Xiangxing's family, and Xiangxing asked him to make a choice between Xu's family and his mother's family.
Although the Xu family is not authentic, but in the end it is his mother and sister-in-law, so he can't deny it, right?
Alas, okay, what the hell are you going to make trouble?
When he returned to Xiangxing's house, Xiangxing's house was surrounded by people who came to see the excitement, Xu Hongda thought: The countrymen are not good at this, who has something to do, I can't wait for the whole village to come and see the excitement, if he needs to kneel down and plead for mercy at this time, how embarrassing it is to be watched by so many people?
Someone saw Xu Hongda coming back and shouted, "Aunt Xu is back, get out of the way."
As everyone got out of the way, Xu Hongda entered the courtyard and saw the situation inside, and he was a little stunned.
The county lord of Qingping, dressed in gorgeous clothes, sat on the edge of the stone table and drank tea, and his mother, his mother-in-law and his daughter-in-law all stood behind the county lord of Qingping to listen to the training.
He had never felt that the Qingping group lord looked like a county lord before, but at this time, he finally thought that the Qingping group lord was the county lord of the emperor's own title, and his status was equivalent to that of the prince or the daughter of the prince.
At this time, the incomparably noble county lord of Qingping raised his chin slightly, and his thin lips opened lightly, "The county lord and Xiangxing grew up together since childhood, and they are like sisters, when she got married, the county lord was worried that she would not be loved by her mother-in-law when she arrived at her mother-in-law's house, so he thought of building a house for her in the village and recruiting a husband to come back. Helplessly, she was afraid of gossip, and said that the Xu family was a scholar, and it should be knowledgeable, not the kind of family that would embarrass her daughter-in-law. The lord of this county thought that she had a point, so he followed her."
"The uncle of the Xu family sent her back to celebrate her birthday, and stayed to help with some farm work, the county lord was very relieved in his eyes, it can be seen that Xiangxing did not choose the wrong family. The Xu family treats Xiangxing well, and the Lin family naturally can't be bad. In the past few years, there have been several great Confucians in the village, all of whom are also good at learning in the capital, and they are invited by the fiancé of the county lord who has some skills. That day, I happened to hear that the uncle of the Xu family was going to take the Xiucai exam, so he asked him to study with those great Confucians. I didn't say anything to the Xu family in advance, but it was not the Lin family, and I asked my mother-in-law not to be surprised."
"If the mother of the family thinks that even the Confucian, who is a corporal of the crown prince and grandson, is not worthy of teaching Aunt Xu, she will bring Aunt Xu back today. However, this year, many people from Qingping County and other counties have come to Hedong Village to study, and there are more and more talents, so it will be more and more difficult to take the show exam, and I have to wish Aunt Xu to be able to go to high school."
After speaking, Lin Xiaoman looked at Miao and smiled, laughing so that Miao was very nervous, and when she heard the ridicule of the people next to her, she was even more embarrassed.
She thought that Lin Xiangxing's family was bullying her son and not letting him go back, and it was an excuse to let him stay and study, but in fact, she wanted her son to stay and help with farm work.
No matter how good a gentleman in a village is, can he compare to a gentleman in the academy? If you really have that ability, you have already gone to teach in the academy.
In a fit of anger, he rushed recklessly, but as soon as he quarreled a few words, he recruited the county lord of Qingping.
After listening to the words of the county lord of Qingping, she was not so sure: Could it be that her daughter-in-law's family is really kind?
Also, in the end, it is a daughter-in-law's man, her son will take the exam for an official and a half position in the future, and she can also be an official wife, so there is really no need to delay her son's future for a little farm work.
Seeing that Miao's face softened, Lin Xiaoman sighed and said, "Alas, this county lord and Xiangxing have grown up together since childhood, and this affection is not comparable to others. Presumably, my mother-in-law has also heard that there are many ways to make money in the hands of the county lord, right? I originally thought that after Xiangxing got married, she would get her a few livelihoods, earn more and earn less, or earn a little to eat and drink. But I don't want her to have a body as soon as she gets married, and she has to take the child in the future, I'm afraid this camp can't be done. It's a pity that there are scholars in my in-laws' family, so I guess I can't look down on business, right?"
Hearing this, Miao immediately shook his head like a rattle, "Where? Where? This is too good, the county lord just leaves the business to us, and he doesn't need to lift a finger of Xiangxing. At that time, she will only have to take care of the children at home, and the business will be enough for our family."
Lin Xiaoman was surprised, "Really good?"
Miao nodded busily, Lin Xiaoman stroked his palms and laughed, "Very good, very good, so let's do it, my mother-in-law will stay for a few days, and wait for the county lord to talk to my mother-in-law about the business matters in detail." If you encounter difficulties in business in the future, you can also come over, as long as you don't violate the laws of the court, don't bully others, don't bully the market, and the county lord
It's all up to you."
Miao was so happy that the corners of his mouth rose vigorously, and he just saw his son standing there, and complained: "Tell me about you, Xiangxing and the county lord are handkerchiefs, why are you hiding it so tightly? If I hadn't come here today, a good relative wouldn't have known how to move around."
Xu Hongda complained in his heart, was that what he wanted to hide? He also personally sent Xiangxing back to his parents' house this time to know about it, in the past, his mother always said that his study was important, and he didn't let him come to Hedong Village, this time he regretted it, right?
Fortunately, it was not too late, I didn't offend the Xiangxing family thoroughly, and Qingping County gave a slap to a sweet date, and I also wanted to get along with their family.
Miao lived in Hedong Village, naturally lived in Xiangxing's house, and took Xiangxing to the Qingping County Lord every day to ask for peace, Lin Xiaoman did not hide his secrets, and taught her the practice of egg scones, the business is not big, and she can do it with a small cart.
But this business is very grinding, it takes a day to do it, if the business is too good and busy, you can't be idle, and your family will be tired and paralyzed at night, so you don't want to embarrass people's hearts.
Lin Xiaoman wanted this result, and spent three days teaching Miao and her two daughters-in-law the method of egg scrambles, without hiding anything from him.
Even some of the seasonings they needed were provided to them for free, and the three mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were very grateful to Lin Xiaoman.
Lin Xiaoman said that the reason why she treated them like this was because of Xiangxing's face, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were eager to offer Xiangxing as an ancestor.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law finally decided that the three of them would do business separately, so that they could earn a few more dollars. Lin Xiaoman was also generous, and asked the carpenter to be invited, and he personally drew the appearance of the car, so that he could build it as soon as possible. He also asked people to go to the blacksmith shop in the city to make a few more iron plates for baking cakes, and iron cylinders for making fires.
After everything was ready, the Miao family couldn't wait to push the car back to the county seat, the man and the two sons were working outside, they wanted to try the cake business is easy to do, if it is good, let the father and son do it together.
At first, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law thought that if the business was good, they would do it separately, and they could take care of each other together for the first few days.
As soon as the cart was pushed out, someone inquired about what they were selling, and I heard that it was the cake that the lord of Qingping learned from him, and many people wanted to try it.
After tasting it, I never forgot it, and the three stalls were placed in one place, and I was also busy sweating.
