Chapter 125: Stockpiling Grain
The name of the store is "Su's incense shop", and on the day of its opening, Su's came to take a look.
At night, he pulled Aunt Sang and said: "I never dreamed that I could have my own shop in my life." At the beginning, Qin Xiongfei bought a house and a shop, and they were not in my name, but gave them to Xun'er. ”
"Naturally, I won't be angry with my daughter, but I don't have anything in my hand, and I always have no confidence." Su Shi sighed, and he could only talk to Aunt Sang in his heart.
"You gave birth to a good daughter, I see, it is more reliable than those who gave birth to sons." Aunt Sang was also happy for the Su family: "After you save money, you should buy some land." They are young and young, and they haven't thought of so much, but you have to think more about them. ”
This reminded Su Shi, and he discussed with Aunt Sang for a long time before resting.
Su's incense shop invited the shopkeeper, and Qin Shao only needed to go over once in two or three days, mainly to check the goods, check the accounts, and see if there were any problems they couldn't solve.
However, Qin Shao stayed for half a day almost every day, there was a young and beautiful woman in the shop, plus she had a sweet mouth, and she was very good at things, both men and women were willing to stay for a while, and the business was even better than the surrounding incense shops.
Naturally, there is also the reason that the quality of the incense products provided by Qin Coriander is better than that of others.
Qin Shao also opened a fragrant tea room in the store, and found some delicate and dignified girls to pour tea and burn incense with their hands.
These little girls are not allowed to be frivolous, they are not allowed to talk and laugh with guests, and they are also very plainly dressed, and there is only a wooden hairpin on their heads; Behind the screen, several musicians took turns playing their own tunes.
Xiao Chenyu came back for two days and finished Liu Xi's affairs, but he invited two banquets and spent a sum of money.
Liu Xi entered the yamen as a scribe who managed clerical work, and he was not easy to offend people, but he could consult all the information and the books in and out, and it was easier for him to grasp some confidential information than others.
After getting the clothes specially issued by the yamen, Liu Xi made a special trip back to his home, which caused a shock among the people in the village.
There was an endless stream of people who came to see Liu Xi, and Liu Xiniang happily brought a bench and put it in the yard, boiled water for everyone to drink, and put a drop of candy into it for the first time.
After everyone was envious and admired, they asked Liu Xi how he ate the public meal? Some people also asked what Liu Xi was doing in the yamen? Can you go to him for help in the future?
Liu Xi answered them one by one in a very measured manner, and everyone was surprised to find that Liu Xi's speech actually began to become chewy, even if he sat there, his waist was straight, and it was not as crooked as before.
When everyone heard that Liu Xi entered the county government because Xiao Chenyu helped, they all played Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts, but everyone also knew that Xiao Chenyu had no feelings for the Xiao family, so they couldn't help but complain in their hearts about their parents, why did they do so much in the first place, there is a way to do things and leave a line to see each other in the future.
Look, now that Xiao Chenyu has not yet been admitted to fame, he has been able to help his brother get a decent job, and he can't even think about the future.
Liu Xi left after lunch, refusing his mother's request to stay with him for the night.
The main purpose of his return trip was to deter Xiao Lao Liu, and his mother's life should be better in the future, at least he will be beaten less, and Liu Xi will be at ease.
After the beginning of summer, Xiaoman was ushered in.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the peasants get up early and work in the fields late to get enough food for the year.
As for the people in the town and in the city, they will also be busy for the year.
It's just that everyone is a little uneasy, just because the weather is a little abnormal this year, and it hasn't rained for a long time.
Xiao Chenyu came back on a special trip and said that Master Yao Guan reminded them to save some food.
After Xiao Chenyu left, Qin Xun sent people to the nearby county town to buy a lot of grain and save it, at least enough for the family to eat for two years before they could settle down.
It happened that Lu Jiu came to Qijiang County to urge the goods, Qin Xun reminded him to save some food and spices, and Lu Jiu just came, so he hurriedly returned to Dancheng.
The days passed quickly when they were busy, and in a blink of an eye, they came to the mangzhong. A handful of green seedlings take advantage of the green in their hands, and the green sun is indifferent and rainy. The east wind dyed three thousand greens, and the egrets flew in and out of nowhere.
Those who have mangs can be harvested, and the rest of the seeds should be planted, and it is really a good day.
The people in the city are busy sending the god of flowers, and it is summer as soon as the mango is planted, and the abdication of the god of flowers needs to be practiced. The girls get up early and use petal wicker to turn into sedan horses, or fold them into dry and beautiful buildings with silk cotton leas, and tie them to trees and flower branches with colored threads.
The girls are dressed in peach and apricot yellow, reflecting the embroidery ribbons all over the garden, which is even more beautiful.
And Qin Xun was not interested in this, but asked people to go to the countryside to negotiate with the landlord, and collected some new wheat and came back to stock up.
Mangzhong is connected to the Dragon Boat Festival, and the Su family is in charge of the house, and he is very busy, but he looks more and more brilliant.
The day after the Dragon Boat Festival, there was a knock on the door.
Qiao Dazhuang opened the door and saw three men at the door.
The leader was a man in his fifties, with small eyes but a thief, who occasionally touched a goatee on his chin.
He was followed by two men, one old and one young, the older ones about fifty and the younger ones in their twenties.
"Who are you looking for?" Qiao Dazhuang is different from the porter of ordinary large families, less respectful of servants, but more gangster.
In the face of Qiao Dazhuang's momentum, the three people on the opposite side were more respectful.
The leader reported to his family: "I am the steward of the Li family in the capital, surnamed Li." ”
Then he pointed to the old man and said: "This is Li Siniang's father, this is Li Siniang's second brother, we are here to pick up Li Siniang's mother and son back." ”
Qiao Dazhuang didn't let them in, but looked them up and down, especially Li Siniang's father and second brother.
"You wait first, I'll go and tell our wife." After speaking, Qiao Dazhuang slammed the door shut.
And he commanded the gatekeepers: "Keep the door in jail, and no one will be allowed to come in until I have returned." ”
The doorman was familiar with Qiao Dazhuang, and nodded obediently.
Outside the house, Steward Li touched the goatee thoughtfully, and then said to Father Li in a suppressed voice: "It seems that it is not easy to take away your daughter and little son!" ”
Father Li smiled and complimented: "Steward Li came forward, where is there anything that can't be done?" Besides, Steward Li didn't inquire, this family has no background, and the owner is a scholar, so he only needs to promise that when he goes to the capital in the future, our Li family will give help, and he will definitely be able to impress them. ”
"That's right, no matter what, we have to bring the little boy back first." Steward Li nodded in agreement.
It's just that these words made Li's father and Li Siniang's second brother change their faces.
Their father and son fought to pick up people, just to bring Li Siniang back. What's the use of only going back with my grandson? Bao'er must have been handed over to his wife to raise when she went back, where did they get close, but her daughter was different, she went back to be an aunt, and she always had to take care of them.
