Chapter 50 There is a definite number for a drink and a peck
Ahead, in the carriage that had just been moved out of the mud pit, two maidservants accompanied a girl of twelve or thirteen years old.
The girl had a dignified and beautiful appearance, and kept paying attention to the movement outside the carriage. Seeing Mama getting into the carriage, the girl asked anxiously, "Has Mama ever thanked someone?" ”
Mama smiled: "Thank you." The slave maid inquired just now, and their group came from Lingzhou Mansion, and the master was an old man with a young child.
The slave and maid took a rough look, and the carriage behind them seemed to be pulling heavy things. In addition to the dart team, the other guards are also well-trained, and they don't look like ordinary people. ”
Miss Chen said angrily: "Mama is really a bag to inquire." They helped us, and we went to thank us, why did we go to take care of something in the carriage.
If you annoy others, wouldn't it seem that our Chen Mansion is rude. ”
The grandmother hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, Miss said yes." ”
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the sky and the earth were chaotic.
The convoy hurried and finally rushed to Jeju City after locking the city gate.
At this time, Yu Linwei, who played the front station, came to report that due to the heavy rain blocking the road, the inns in the city were full, and he could only go to find a private house.
The grandmother just got out of the car and heard it, thought about it for a while and decided to tell her own lady.
Miss Chen said, "In that case, Mama, you can invite them to come to our house for a while!" If it weren't for them, we'd still be raining outside the city. ”
Mama hesitated a little: "But, miss, should we talk to the master first?" ”
Miss Chen said: "No need, this time and again will delay the work." Besides, I know my father, he is a man who will repay his kindness, and he will never do anything to throw his benefactor out in the rain. ”
When the master and apprentice heard that the owner of the carriage in front of them had invited them to stay in the house for a night, they were surprised and very happy.
After thanking Mama, he ordered the convoy to follow the carriage of the Chen Mansion.
After the group settled down in the Chen Mansion, they learned that the Chen Mansion turned out to be one of the largest merchants in Jeju City. No wonder the yard is so luxurious.
After the head of the Chen family returned home, he was very happy to hear that the baby daughter who went to her grandfather's house to save her relatives had returned.
I heard that my daughter had brought back a team of people, and I couldn't help frowning slightly.
After careful questioning, I learned that I had helped my daughter on the trip, but because Jeju City was full and I couldn't find a place to stay, my daughter invited them to come back for a temporary stay for one night.
He is used to being a bold and benevolent person, and since the person who helped him the Chen family is the benefactor of the Chen Mansion. So he ordered the man to prepare a sumptuous meal and wine, and brought his wife and children to personally feast on the benefactor.
Hearing that the master and apprentice were from Lingzhou Mansion, the head of the Chen family was greatly admired: "Lingzhou is a good place. There are not only high-yield grain varieties, but also tributes such as watermelons. The variety of canned food produced is also in high demand.
It's a pity that my Lao Chen has no way, otherwise I would have to do this business. ”
Hearing this, the master and apprentice glanced at each other, but neither of them spoke.
After finishing the meal, after returning to the courtyard where he was temporarily staying, Jiang Yuqing asked Doctor Qiu: "Master, will that Chen family master know my identity?" ”
Otherwise, why would he talk about grain seeds and watermelons?
Doctor Qiu said: "No! You are young, and you have always liked to stay at home, and you rarely go to the county seat. Very few people have seen you.
He is a Jeju businessman, how can he recognize you if he has no door and no way, and the appointment is just an impromptu feeling. However, this Chen family master is indeed not bad. ”
"Oh!" Dango nodded thoughtfully.
When the head of the Chen family got up the next day, someone came to report that the guests who had stayed overnight had left.
The head of the Chen family looked at the sky outside, rubbed his temples that were faintly aching due to hangover, and said, "When you are old, you will get drunk after two drinks." I didn't get up until I slept until now, and I neglected my benefactor in the end. ”
The servant brought a piece of paper in both hands and said, "Master, this was found in the little guest's room." The minions were illiterate and didn't know what it was, so they specially brought it to the master. ”
The head of the Chen family took a look, and wrote a line of words in a very immature and cute, even crooked font, "Ten acres of watermelon, in mid-June, Qingzhou Houfu mention!" ”
The check-in place is stamped with a small bright red seal: "Linghui Township Jun Seal"
The head of the Chen family was stunned at first, and then ecstatic. Holding the letter paper, he slapped open the door of his daughter's courtyard: "Yingying, Yingying, come out quickly, come out quickly." ”
Chen Yingying heard his father's anxious roar, thinking that something was wrong, so he hurriedly put down the half-read book and ran out of the inner room: "Daddy, what's wrong, what's wrong?" ”
The head of the Chen family excitedly stuffed the letter to his daughter and said, "Look at this? ”
Chen Yingying took the letter suspiciously, and almost jumped up happily: "It turns out that the cute little sister yesterday turned out to be the little townsman of the Hou Mansion in Qingzhou." We really don't know Tarzan. ”
The head of the Chen family laughed and said, "I didn't expect my daughter to have this blessing, so she invited such a noble person home." With this little villager leading the way, our Chen family's business will definitely go to the next level. ”
Chen Yingying said: "This is also the blessing of our family. If it weren't for Daddy's habit of being kind to others, our family wouldn't be able to make friends with such a noble person. It can be seen that there is a fixed number of drinks and pecks. ”
"yes." The head of the Chen family was also quite emotional.
"Daddy, let's quickly tell my mother and brother the good news!"
"Good, good, good ......"
Doctor Qiu knew what the baby apprentice was doing.
"The family is only going to plant a total of 30 acres of watermelons, and you will be allowed to go out 10 acres as soon as your golden mouth is opened, which is really generous."
Tuanzi said domineeringly: "It doesn't matter, who sells is not selling." This Chen family is a good partner to work with, and my father will like it too. ”
Doctor Qiu also thinks that the Chen family is very good. Kindness also speaks of benevolence and righteousness.
If you work with such a person, you can rest assured that you will be able to deliver your back, and you don't have to worry that someone will give you a knife from behind.
After Jeju, they were already halfway through the journey.
Fortunately, although there was rain from time to time on the back journey, it was also smooth.
On the twenty-sixth day after leaving Qingzhou, that is, on the afternoon of the eighth day of the first month of March, the convoy finally entered the capital.
The prince of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, who is also Qin Jue, personally came to the city gate to pick up people. As soon as Jiang Yuqing saw him, he pounced on him and said affectionately: "Uncle Qin, I miss you." ”
Qin Jue hugged the soft and glutinous dumplings in his arms, and said happily: "Little girl, I haven't seen you for more than a year, it's hard for you to remember me." I was so impressed. ”
Tuanzi unceremoniously exposed his lies: "It's strange, you are moved, I brought the seeds you wanted." ”
Qin Jue pretended to glare at her fiercely: "Nonsense! Then he smiled and touched the little head of the dumpling, "I've walked such a long way, are you tired?" Are you going home or come with me to my house? ”
Dango asked, "Do I have anything to eat when I go home?" Is there a bed to sleep in? ”
"Of course!" Qin Jue couldn't help but scratch her tickle and said, "Your father has sent several letters from the flying pigeon.
I specially told me that I must help you straighten out the Hou Mansion before you arrive. Do I dare not listen to me? ”
The dumplings itched and hid, and said with a smile: "Thank you, uncle." Don't scratch me, I want to go home. ”
Qin Jue put her down at this time, stepped forward and respectfully arched his hand towards Divine Doctor Qiu: "Divine Doctor has worked hard all the way, please go back to the Hou Mansion to settle down first." ”
Doctor Qiu replied with a salute and said, "There is Lao Shizi." ”
"Don't dare!"
When the convoy arrived at the Hou Mansion in Qingzhou, the gate of the Hou Mansion was wide open, and the servants stood in a row on both sides, saluting in unison: "Welcome Linghui Xiangjun and the divine doctor back to their homes." ”
Jiang Yuqing raised his hand and said, "Get up, there are rewards." ”
"Xie Xiangjun!"
Entering the gate, Jiang Yuqing solemnly thanked Qin Jue: "Uncle Qin, thank you." Took such good care of our family's mansion.
It's just that we are new to life and are not familiar with each other, so can my uncle lend us these people in your family first.
When we buy the manpower, can we return it to you? ”
Qin Jue said incomprehensibly: "You don't have to pay it back." After a while, I will give you all their deeds of sale, and these will be your family members from now on. ”
Tuanzi was puzzled: "Why, don't you want them?" ”
Qin Jue was about to speak, but he taught a clear young man to pick it up: "Because I bought these for your family." ”
The person who came was Jing Yan.
Tuanzi was very happy when he saw him at first glance, and let go of Doctor Qiu's hand and pounced: "Ah, little brother, Qingqing misses you." ”
Jing Yan happily hugged the little guy into his arms and chuckled, "I miss you too!" ”
The two children had a lot of affection, but in the end, Doctor Qiu couldn't stand it, so he put his hand to his mouth and coughed vigorously, so he stopped.
Jing Yan had already received the news from the flying pigeon in Qingzhou, and he was very excited to know that the little guy he was thinking about had entered Beijing.
Knowing that her convoy would arrive in the capital today, she went straight to the Pingyang Marquis Mansion after getting off the court. Just to pick her up with Qin Jue.
It's just that his identity is inconvenient to show up at the city gate, so he has been staying in Qin Jue's carriage. It wasn't until the Qingzhou Hou Mansion that he came down.
The Qingzhou Hou Mansion was originally built in accordance with the regulations of the royal palace. Due to some special reasons, this mansion has been idle there since it was built.
It wasn't until last year that the emperor gave it to Jiang Wenyuan, and the Ministry of Industry restructured and repaired the mansion in accordance with the regulations of the Hou Mansion. It was just completed not long ago.
But the original large frame is there, and the area is very extensive.
There are a total of 22 large and small courtyards alone, not including a lake of nearly 20 acres and more than 30 acres of landscaping woodland around the fence.
Among them, pavilions and pavilions, rockeries and flowing water, wind and rain corridors, winding paths and secluded, that is everything, a proper luxury garden.
Along the way, Jiang Yuqing's eyes almost didn't look over, and everywhere he passed, he took five steps and one view, and ten steps and one scene, which was really beautiful.
She felt that such a beautiful place would not be bored even if she lived in it for the rest of her life.
After walking around the corner for more than a quarter of an hour, I finally arrived at a two-story courtyard called "Qingbo Pavilion".
It seems that this is where she will live in the future.
Just as she expected. Because Qingbo Pavilion is near the lake, the lake is full of lotus flowers, and the surrounding scenery is the most beautiful.
After Jiang Wenyuan got the layout plan of the Hou Mansion, he took a fancy to this place at a glance and designated it as the residence of his baby daughter. And personally named it Kiyohakaku.
The layout of the courtyard is according to her preferences, and the layout in the boudoir is exactly the same as the room in Xijindu's house.
These were also drawn by Jiang Wenyuan, and Qin Jue asked Qin Jue to entrust the grandmothers to arrange them.
With such a heart for everything, even Qin Jue couldn't help but sigh, and it was unprecedented and unique to spoil her daughter to this extent.
Doctor Qiu's courtyard was just east of the Qingbo Pavilion. The name "Rejuvenation Temple".
Take the meaning of rejuvenation with wonderful hands.
There are two large flower beds in the courtyard, and the land is bare at this time, which is intended for him to grow medicinal herbs, which can be regarded as extremely careful.
As for the accompanying Lin's dart bureau and his party, they were all placed in the guest house in front.
The housekeeper's surname is Zhao, and he was originally a retired wounded soldier rescued by Jing Yan in the past.
Later, Jing Yan saw that he had good ability, so he made people focus on training.
Last year, Jiang Wenyuan was made a marquis, but no one took care of the big marquis mansion in Beijing, so he moved his mind and sent him to the marquis mansion in Qingzhou to be a housekeeper.
Steward Zhao was told that on the day he was sent to the Hou Mansion of Qingzhou, his master could only be surnamed Jiang in the future.
Therefore, for the family members of the main family, all kinds of in-law relationships, of course, it is necessary to know everything well.
The people who know this Lin family's dart game are not only the ones who were invited by the main family, but also the serious in-laws of the Hou Mansion, and they can't be neglected.
Jiang Yuqing was also very satisfied with Steward Zhao's properness, and immediately rewarded him.
Afraid that the family in the house would not be enough, he gave him 2,000 taels of silver and asked him to put it in the public account.
For dinner, Qin Jue called from Shengping Building, saying that it was for them to catch the wind and wash the dust.
Everyone was tired after nearly a month of traveling.
Therefore, after eating, Qin Jue and Jing Yan both took the initiative to say goodbye and leave, so that the master and apprentice could wash and rest early.
