Chapter 166

When the snow is falling, it looks beautiful everywhere.

Wealthy families enjoy the snow around the fireplace, hold various banquets, are busy socializing, and manage the marriage of their children.

In the vast majority of poor families, only children can happily run out to play in the snow, but the anxiety on the faces of adults is deepening day by day.

This year, many people's harvests have been cut by half, and the better, more diligent ones are better, and they can still survive this winter by tightening their belts.

But many people who are already difficult will not be able to get through it if they encounter a little wind and rain.

When Qingcang entered the house, the house was burning with charcoal, warm and with a faint fragrance of wood flowers.

Qin Xun sat by the fire and wrote her book "Qixianglu", although this book has been written for half a year, it has only written a thin dozen pages.

Qing Cang came over to check the charcoal fire and said, "The second master sent someone back to say that he would come back later, but he met some classmates today and was dragged to drink." ”

"Hmm!" Qin Qian put down the pen and stretched out his hand to roast it by the coals.

"Is the second master too much socializing lately?" Qing Cang looked at no one on the left and right, and still reminded Qin Xun.

Qin Xun put a piece of silver silk charcoal in it with fire tongs, watched it turn red quickly, and said with a faint smile: "Men can't prevent it, and they can't control it." It's just up to him to see if he can control himself. ”

It depends on whether Qin Shao and Sun Donghai are the same, Sun Donghai did not hesitate to break with his only relative for Qin Shao, but once Qin Shao became pregnant, Sun Donghai immediately accepted two concubine rooms, as well as the girl who Qin Shao arranged for him.

So, don't expect a cat in the world that doesn't steal.

"Ma'am!" Qinggu came in from the outside, and now there was a snowflake on Pu's shoulder at the door, and then he came over.

"Madam, the old lady asked if she wanted to set up a porridge shed?" Qinggu went to the old lady's side just now, so he brought back the old lady's words.

Qin Xun pointed to the stove and asked Qinggu to come over to roast her hands, and then said, "Let my mother arrange it herself, she can do whatever she wants." Just one point, you take turns to watch the point, one is to prevent the people below from stealing things, and the other is to see if anyone is cheating. ”

Qinggu raised his head while roasting his hands and said, "The old lady said that she would go in person, and Lumei and the others were persuading her, saying that it was too cold outside, and they were afraid that she would get cold." ”

Qin Xun didn't care, and said, "Let her go, just dress warmly." My mother can do whatever she wants, you can let Lumei take care of it a little more, but you still have to tell us something. ”

The two maids naturally knew what Qin Xun meant, and nodded in response.

When Xiao Chenyu came back at night, he had a strong smell of wine on his body, and Qin Xun didn't let him go into the house to sleep.

There was no way, Xiao Chenyu could only go to the study to sleep, and the next day when Qin Xun got up, he saw Xiao Chenyu writing in front of the window, heard Qin Xun's voice, and hurriedly came over to serve and get dressed.

Qin Xun was cold and indifferent, allowing him to be courteous, neither refusing nor showing happiness.

After eating, Qin Xun said: "It stands to reason that you can achieve this in a year, so you should relax and make friends." However, you must know that in this world, there are many people who are better than you, and there are people outside the so-called people and there is another heaven outside the world. You must not be carried away by a short-term victory. ”

I have to say that Xiao Chenyu was indeed a little fluttery during this time, and he was praised a little too much.

Seeing that his face was not good, Qin Xun went to take his hand again, and said, "We still have a long way to go, many difficulties have not been resolved, and we don't know how many unpredictable difficulties in the future are, so we still have to work hard." ”

The foundation of this family is not stable at all, and it is not the time to relax.

Xiao Chenyu also understood, wrapped Qin Xun's hand in the palm of his hand with his backhand, and said softly: "I understand, even if I socialize with them, I also know that they don't really wish me well, but they are just friends with wine and meat." They also have their considerations. ”

"As you said, we are now on shaky foundations, just two young people, who can take us seriously? Therefore, I didn't dare to be high, I didn't dare not socialize, and I had to be sleek. ”

Qin Xun nodded, smiled at Xiao Chenyu, and said: "Mother said that she was going to give porridge, you should go to the porridge shed more when the time comes, although it is said that doing good deeds should not be utilitarian, but who doesn't want a good reputation?" ”

"I see!" Xiao Chenyu understood what Qin Coriander meant, and everyone might say hypocrisy when he said it, but he understood Qin Coward.

He whispered, "It doesn't matter if we give more porridge, after all, a lot of silver is not coming from the right way, so we should give some alms." ”

This winter, there was suddenly a family in Qijiang County that became famous, the Xiao family.

The uncle of the Xiao family made a person at a young age, and he was still a filial son who kept filial piety to his parents for six years, and it is said that with his talent, if it were not for the delay of six years of filial piety, he would definitely be the youngest person in the county.

And because of his gentle attitude, he didn't put up a shelf for people and scholars, and he came to give porridge in person, not to mention, and painted a lot of mangtu and spring cow pictures to sell, but the paintings of the old man were sold very cheaply, but there were not many people who could grab them.

Xiao Juren became a celebrity in Qijiang County, but the county magistrate was unhappy.

"You said that the person who found out that he had entered the fire was Xiao Chenyu?" The county magistrate frowned and asked the kneeling servant on the ground.

"Yes, master, it should be his bad luck, he personally came out to give porridge, and finally was recognized by the person who came to Fushui Town to beg for porridge, and then came to the yamen to ask if there was a reward for providing news, and the villain flickered and asked out. Only then did I hurriedly report it to the master. ”

The county commander frowned and asked: "Bring that person in, I will ask the master personally, but don't make a mistake, as a result, I can't get off the stage." ”

Waiting for the official to go out, the master asked: "In the past, the master would rather kill the wrong person than let it go, why is he soft-hearted now?" It's just a move, doesn't the lord have other considerations? ”

The county magistrate in his forties touched his goatee and sneered: "I wasn't afraid of him two months ago, but now, this kid has suddenly become a person who is supported by the people of the county, and he has donated a lot of cotton clothes to those old people and orphans, which is simply going to overpower my reputation as a parent official!" ”

"Even so, the master shouldn't be afraid of him, right?"

"It's not that I'm afraid of him, but I haven't figured it out, how can their young couple use so much silver? Could it be that there is someone behind them to support them? ”

The master also nodded suddenly: "Yes, could it be that the Qin family and the Lu family in Dancheng helped them?" However, it stands to reason that even if you are a foil, you can't give so much silver, and it's better to make a name for them than to do it yourself! ”

yes, who doesn't want to be embraced by everyone?

"Master, this Su Er, it is said that he is Mrs. Xiao Chenyu's uncle, and he knows about them!"
