Chapter 36: A Strange Talent
After selling the teahouse and sending her mother away, Qin Xun calmed down and prepared to write a fragrant recipe.
But the pen that could be lifted paused and became a little trance for a while.
Qin Xun's father, Qin Xiongfei, has many industries in his family, but he started as an incense maker.
Qin Coward's husband is extremely fond of incense, which is also the original reason why Qin Xiongfei came to teach Qin Coriander in the first place. It's just that later, I really liked this intelligent and spiritual female disciple, and I also passed on the incense recipes and incense-making techniques I had figured out and collected to Qin Xun.
Of course, none of these can be compared with the Qin family's "Qin's Xianglu".
In her previous life, after Qin Xun returned to the Qin family, she learned that she was naturally dissatisfied with the marriage, but Qin Xiongfei and his wife threatened her with the Su family, and she had no choice but to agree to marry.
However, Qin Xun is not a master who is willing to suffer, before getting married, she used her husband's status as a high-ranking official to force half of "Qin's Xianglu", of course, I later learned that there were some slight changes in it, and it was not the real "Qin's Xianglu".
After entering her husband's house, she fell out with the old man, but she also had a few years of quiet life, so she devoted herself to studying the half of the true and false "Qin's Xianglu" in the back house, and on the basis of this book, she actually had a lot of experience.
In her previous life, she did not use incense to gain benefits, but she cheapened her reborn self.
Xiaojia Village.
When the sixth uncle was young, he was a gambler and liked to drink, and his parents persuaded him to divide the family without stopping, and after the meager property he got was lost, the sixth uncle was a little more restrained.
Seeing that he had grown a little, his father and mother still helped him with his family affairs with a soft heart.
But Xiao's reputation as a drunkard has long been known to everyone, even if they don't cherish their daughter in the family, they are afraid that they won't be able to get rid of him after they get involved with him.
After two years like this, the sixth uncle saw that Ben was thirty, and some of his peers were about to hug their grandsons, and he was also anxious, and finally agreed to marry Liu Xiniang, the widow of the dead man, and had to let Liu Xi follow him into the door.
The sixth aunt has a broken mouth, but she is very capable, and she can't raise her head with a drag oil bottle, and she gets up earlier than a chicken and eats worse than a pig, so she forcibly turned two grass houses into four rooms.
However, Liu Xi did not live in a good house, and still lived in the firewood room at the back, half of which was Liu Xi's bedroom.
Seventeen-year-old Liu Xi wanted to escape from Xiaojia Village, but he was always dragged down by his mother's sad face and white hair on his sideburns.
The sixth aunt often said: "When your father died, I couldn't bear to persuade me to give you away, even if I knew that this man was a bastard now, I still recognized it, who let only him be willing to let Liu Xi follow?" ”
Liu Xi has spent eleven years in the Xiao family with heavy shackles, and only Xiao Chenyu will not laugh at him, but will say that he is a filial son and a little man.
Therefore, he listened to what Xiao Chenyu said, and Xiao Chenyu shouted that he promised to his family, and he agreed without hesitation; Xiao Chenyu said that he should come back and pretend to be sick and delay the appointment of his family, and he did so, even if he heard his family name and scold him for pretending to be sick and lazy every day, he endured it.
It was at this time that Yanzi and the second sister-in-law pushed the door in.
Yanzi's brows furrowed vigorously, and he waved his hand in front of him: "Is this the place where people live?" Why a musty smell, stinky and stuffy. ”
Sister-in-law pulled her sister-in-law and smiled at Liu Xi, who was half-lying on the wooden bed: "I heard that Liu Xi is sick, we came here to take a look at you, looking at this red face, it seems that it is very good." ”
The swallow leaned against the door panel and did not move, and the sister-in-law took two steps forward and stood in the middle of the room to talk to the two of them.
It's a pity that the swallow is arrogant, Liu Xi is not lukewarm, and the sister-in-law can't fry this plate of cold dishes alone.
So, the sister-in-law of the mountain simply got straight to the point: "By the way, Liu Xi, this marriage should be decided as soon as possible, since the marriage has been agreed, it will be meaningless to drag it out like this, right?" ”
Liu Xi's eyebrows moved slightly, and he said: "It's okay to set a marriage, but what did you say about giving us a piece of land to repair a house?" ”
"Whew!" Yanzi stood at the door and snorted coldly, causing Liu Xi to stare at him.
Sister-in-law scolded her sister-in-law in her heart, and only thought that when she went out, she would never be allowed to go back to her parents' house in the future.
But that's a later story, and now the first task is: to get married, and then there is a matter of going out.
"Naturally, it's not a lie, the old man has already spoken, and he will pay for the money to repair the house, as for the labor, just help the Xiao family, and your family will eat the food."
Liu Xi sneered: "I'm afraid that my father and mother may not be willing to eat." ”
Sister-in-law Shan covered her lips and learned from the young ladies and ladies to laugh: "Your father and mother have agreed, you can rest assured." ”
Liu Xi lowered his eyelashes, the sadness in his eyes lingered, he lowered his head and said: "Then the matter of marriage will be handed over to my father and mother, I will concentrate on recuperation, and when I am well, I will go to the county dock to earn some money and come back to get married." ”
The sister-in-law thought that it was the matter of the house that moved Liu Xi, and she was disdainful in her heart, but she smiled brightly on her face, and after getting Liu Xi's words, she pulled the swallow and left.
After coming out, the sister-in-law of the mountain had no good face for Yanzi, and on the way home, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, she scolded Yanzi coldly: "You have done those ugly things, and you should have sunk in the pond in someone else's house, if it weren't for the grandfather who said that if you were punished but your reputation would be confirmed, you think I am willing to take care of your idle affairs, and you will give me a face, you really think that you are still an innocent little girl, bah, a woman who has been married and divorced, and she is not good to see her identity." ”
Yanzi had tears in her eyes, but she didn't dare to quarrel with her second sister-in-law, you must know that the second sister-in-law who can really help her now has to be counted.
There are two people sitting at the next station of the archway, and it doesn't look like a person from the village from a distance, nor is it a neighboring village, and the sister-in-law can't help but walk over to take a look.
The archway is particularly important to the Xiao family, and it is the basis for the Xiao family to be different from others.
The swallow also followed the mountain sister-in-law over, and saw a man wearing a fur collar cloak sitting in front of the archway, meditating on the futon with his eyes closed, lighting a stove of incense in front of him, and the smoke was floating in the air.
And there was a tea tray beside him, and a teapot sat on a small stove that was burning red, gurgling with the smoke of tea. There was also a pretty good carriage parked in the distance.
The other is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, who should be a man's little maid dressed in clothes, with a book frame in front of him, standing with his back straight, and when he saw the mountain sister-in-law and the swallow coming, he hurriedly made a boo movement, and hurriedly walked to the mountain sister-in-law.
"It's really a fist, our master and servant have no intention of disturbing, and after my son-in-law communicates with the ancestors of the Xiao family, we will leave."
Sister-in-law Shan was stunned for a moment, then looked at the picturesque man with fair skin, and said, "Who is he?" How can we communicate with our ancestors? ”
The little guy arched his hand and said: "My son-in-law's surname is Cheng, he was a Xiucai last year, and he was going to go to Fucheng to continue taking the exam, but for some reason, last night my son-in-law suddenly dreamed of your ancestors, and after the son-in-law woke up, he was arguing about what Xiaojia Village to worship and what plaque." We asked a lot of people and we found this place. ”
These words stunned both the mountain sister-in-law and the swallow.
The little girl continued: "My son-in-law said that this place is exactly the same as in a dream, but my son-in-law doesn't say that he has been here, even Qijiang County is the first time to come, do you think this is strange?" ”
The third sister-in-law saw that the man was still meditating with her eyes closed, so she said a few words casually, and hurriedly dragged the swallow who didn't want to leave, and went back, she wanted to tell her grandfather and family about this strange thing immediately, and it couldn't be the ancestor of the Xiao family.
It's just that why did the ancestor of the Xiao family entrust his dream to an outsider?
