Brother Mao Tui introduced himself as my husband Jun (update end)

Is this tofu? I didn't expect soy beans to make this! ”

　　Zhao Shi leaned down and stared at the tofu in the sieve, his eyes full of surprise. Everyone in the family gathered around to look at the white and tender tofu, and Qiao Yue smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, this soybean can make a lot of food." ”

　　Several people nodded their heads, convinced by what Qiao Yue said, and Liu Said, "Yue'er, it's going to be lunch soon, and at noon you will make some tofu for us to taste." ”

　　Qiao Yue nodded yes.

　　At noon, Qiao Yue made four kinds of fried tofu, fragrant fried tofu, fried tofu with green onions, tofu lean broth and fried tofu.

　　"Mother, today we will eat a tofu feast." Everyone sat on the table and Said with a smile.

　　"Good, good! This tofu feast lady has never eaten before. Liu Shi took the chopsticks and took the lead in tasting a mouthful of stir-fried tofu, "Hmm! Delicious, tender and fragrant. She smiled and greeted everyone with praise, "Taste, taste!"

　　Everyone moved their chopsticks to taste it, and they were immediately attracted by the taste of tofu, although tofu is a vegetarian dish, but this taste is really good, and there are so many ways to do it.

　　Qiao Yue was happy to see everyone eating, and said, "There are many ways to eat this tofu, and I will slowly make it for you to eat later." ”

　　"Good! Little sister, you are so powerful! Zhao Shi gave her a thumbs up.

　　The next thing is to discuss the problem of setting up a stall to sell, after some discussion, the price was decided, ten pounds of soybeans out of forty pounds of tofu, a piece of tofu weighed one pound, set a piece of three dollars.

　　"Soy milk is a bowl for money, and the rest will be said later." Liu Shi sat on the top and made a decision.

　　Everyone had no objection, and Zhao Shi said, "Mother, who is going to sell tofu?" ”

　　Liu Shi looked around, "Yue'er is definitely going, her head is flexible, you two are going to help, let's make two goods tomorrow and sell them in the county, first test the water." ”

　　"Well, my mother is right." Qiao Yue nodded, and asked with some hesitation, "Where is the big brother...".

　　Su Erlang and his wife looked at each other, yes, they are all counting in the face, what about the big brother, this is qiao Yue to take out the business that the family does together, if you don't call the big brother, I'm afraid it's not okay?

　　Liu Shi also thought so, although Xu Shi lost the land of the family, but in the end, his son was still with them, and they could not send their resentment against Xu Shi on him.

　　Everyone was silent for a while, and finally Liu Shi opened his mouth, "When your eldest brother returns, I will talk to him." ”

　　At night.

　　Su Dalang was folding clothes in the room, and Liu Shi came in and told him about the tofu business.

　　"Da Lang, do you have any opinions to say, we are all a family can discuss." Liu Shi saw that his son was silent and said in a relaxed tone.

　　After a moment, Su Dalang said calmly: "Mother, I have no opinion, this tofu business is the idea of the little sister, she can make the decision." ”

　　These words were said indifferently, there was no trace of unhappiness, under the beating candle fire, Liu Shi carefully looked at the eldest son who bowed his head and asked: "Da Lang, you...."

　　Su Dalang sighed and looked at Liu's expression with guilt, "Mother, what I am saying is true, I am now working with Yunniang to take care of the pancake stall business to make a living, the family has lost the field, I can't stand you, these days I have been very guilty in my heart, fortunately, the little sister has a way to make the family able to maintain life, I am already very happy, how can I want to divide the family's business." ”

　　Seeing the sincerity of the eldest son's words, Liu Shi also put his heart at ease, seeing that his son was haggard and emaciated a lot these days, Liu Shi was distressed in the end, and advised: "The matter has passed, you should not remember too much in your heart, Yunniang and the second lady will still count on you in the future." ”

　　Su Dalang nodded, "Mother, I know, now I just want to do business with Yunniang and save some money to let them have a good home in the future." ”

　　When Liu Shi saw the sincerity of his son's words, he also put his mind at ease.

　　The Su family tofu stall soon became famous in the county.

　　Tofu is the first in Hong'an County, the taste is good and the price is cheap, and it is also a very good vegetarian dish on the table when it is done.

　　"Boss, here's a bowl of sweet bean blossoms." Master Liu, who worked in the morning, sat down and shouted.

　　"Here it comes!" Su Erlang responded with a cry to open the lid of the iron barrel, and the hot air that came from his face made him squint his eyes, and he took a tai iron spoon and neatly filled a bowl of tofu flowers and sprinkled a spoonful of white sugar on it.

　　Master Liu took a bite of the bun he bought, and then drank a spoonful of sweet silk bean blossoms, and the tender bean blossoms slid into his throat and into the empty stomach, and the whole person felt warm when he drank it.

　　"Lady Zhao, get me three pieces of tofu." Boss Wang on the street walked over with a plate.

　　Zhao Shi stood on the edge of the case with an apron, smiled, and took the plate and loaded three pieces of one-pound tofu.

　　"Nine dollars in total." Zhao Shi collected the money and put it into the box stall before it was crowded with people.

　　"I'll give you a piece." "I want two." "I want two pieces of tofu and two bowls of soy milk, and add more sugar!"

　　Qiao Yue took a jar to beat soy milk for people, and accepted two pieces of money, where Zhao Shi was busy for a while, and the tofu had been sold in half.

　　"Hey, I didn't expect business to be so good."

　　After idle kung fu, Zhao Shi beat a bowl of tofu flowers and ate them, looked at Su Erlang, who added firewood to keep the tofu flowers warm, and said: "Erlang, how much have you sold?" ”

　　Su Erlang's voice was filled with happiness, "Half a barrel has already been sold, and it looks like it will be sold out before noon." ”

　　"Or the little sister has the ability to come up with this formula." Zhao Shi looked at Qiao Yue, who was sitting next to him and nibbling on the bun.

　　Tofu stalls are not placed on the busiest market street, but at the end of the street.

　　Originally, the Su family thought that it would be better to put it on the street and have a lot of business, but Qiao Yue felt that their tofu stall was not a small vendor route, and if they wanted to take root in the county, they should find a small shop to open.

　　The rent of the market shop is not cheap, and a small one does not even have a back kitchen, so it costs three or two silver a month.

　　Fortunately, the market is relatively long, and the later part is because the passenger flow is relatively small, the rent is slightly cheaper, and the shop that Qiao Yue and Su Erlang are looking for was originally a needle and thread business, because the family relocated this shop was transferred.

　　The Sujia Tofu Factory opened for less than half a month and spread throughout Hong'an County.

　　It was dark early in the winter night, and it was already dark just after Shen Shi, and Qiao Yue and Su Erlang and his wife drove back in a donkey cart.

　　Today the weather is not good, it rained for half a day, the mud is slippery and slippery, and there are not many people who come out to buy things, until it is dark and the things that are put out are sold out.

　　Liu Shi waited at the door early.

　　In the past, qiao yue would come back when they died, but today the sky was dark and there was no trace, and Liu Shi's heart was anxious.

　　"Mother, don't be too anxious." Su Dalang went out and stood side by side with Liu Shi in the doorway, and he and Yunniang did not go out of the stall when it rained today.

　　"It's getting dark, and it's really worrying." Liu Shi anxiously took a few steps forward, tiptoeing to look at the road in the village.

　　The two were talking, and a small red dot in the distance gradually approached, and the sound of the wheels crushing the gravel road appeared clear in the quiet night.

　　Qiao Yue they came back, and a lantern hung from the bamboo pole on the donkey cart, dangling one after another.

　　"How come it's so late?" Yuanbao entered the courtyard and consciously stopped at the door, and Liu Shi stepped forward to help unload things.

　　Qiao Yue shouted at the lady and raised her hand to take the bucket off the donkey cart, "There are not many people on the rainy street today." Su Erlang said.

　　Liu Shi frowned: "There are some leftovers, this day is dark, the night road is not safe, in case you encounter evil people, you will be in trouble." ”

　　There are two women's homes in this car, and if something happens or is frightened, what's wrong?

　　Su Erlang knew that his mother was but they, nodded his head and said seriously, "Knowing my mother, I won't be in the future." ”

　　Liu Shi eased his face and pulled Qiao Yue and said, "Yue'er, quickly enter the house, the mother has boiled ginger soup for you, drink it quickly to go to the cold." ”

　　Just into the winter, the temperature dropped very quickly, obviously a few days ago or the sun was shining, yesterday after the cloud suddenly cooled down, today it rained for half a day and the wind blew, wet and cold cold straight to the bones.

　　"Thank you ma'am." Qiao Yue smiled and answered, and followed Liu Shi into the kitchen.

　　The three of them drank ginger soup, and Liu Shi and Yunniang brought the warm meal from the pot to the table.

　　"Mother, I discussed with my second brother today that I want you to go to the tofu factory tomorrow to help for a day, and I will make some dried tofu and oil tofu and other things at home." Qiao Yue said.

　　Liu Shi listened very happily and nodded in response, asking: "Then how much tofu will be done tomorrow, I will get up early to help you grind beans." ”

　　The tofu they are making now is still artificial grinding beans, Qiao Yue originally proposed to buy another small donkey to come back to pull the mill, but was rejected by Liu's family, during this time the family spent a lot of silver, just buying soybeans to make tools and renting shops plus decoration spent a lot of silver.

　　Then there was Su Sanlang, because of the cold winter, coupled with the early darkness, Liu Shi was distressed that his son got up early and returned to the cold late, so he consulted with his family and took a few silver to let him live in the academy.

　　There are still more than half a year Su Yanzhi is going to go to the exam, this is the most important time, staying in the academy is better, two more hours of reading time every day.

　　Silver flowing water is generally spent out, Liu Shi painfully sleeps well at night, Qiao Yue's pancreas and soap sold in the county have been done, those who are good at making incense masters have a little research to clarify the production method, now the streets are selling pancreas, and even some people have made pancreas that are more material-saving, which greatly reduces the production cost and selling price.

　　Qiao Yue had already thought of this stubble, it is not easy to create, but this manufacturing is much easier, although this is ancient, but the wisdom of the people can not be underestimated, if the core secret is too simple, it is only a matter of time before it is cracked.

　　Nowadays, only the essential oil soap made by Qiao Yue is still a source of goods, but the cold soap production time cycle is a bit long, so the silver in Qiao Yue's hand is not too much.

　　Sun Boss's bamboo weaving business, it will not be settled until the end of the year, this bamboo weaving business to do the capital Sun Boss really spent a lot of effort, this month the silver is not much, Qiao Yue all used it in the tofu shop.

　　The next day, Qiao Yue was pouring the oil tofu in the pot and draining the oil, when she heard someone shouting outside.

　　"Sister-in-law of the Su family, sister-in-law of the Su family!"

　　The visitor was a chubby middle-aged woman in her forties wearing a royal blue turtleneck skirt, and she entered the courtyard smiling and squinting with her veil.

　　Qiao Yue was a little surprised to hear the voice come out, "Third Aunt You, how did you come?" Fast-forward into the house for tea. ”

　　This Third Aunt You is a famous matchmaker in a neighboring village, and there is nothing she does not know in the three surrounding villages, nicknamed "Everything Pass"

　　When Third Aunt You saw Qiao Yue walk out, her chubby face was full of smiles, "Isn't this the fourth lady of the Su family, I still hugged you when you were a child." ”

　　You San Aunt looked at Qiao Yue and smiled and entered the house, Qiao Yue picked up the copper pot on the stove and brewed a cup of tea for You San Aunt, "How did the Third Aunt come to the door today?" ”

　　"Your mother, why aren't you at home?" Third Aunt You smiled kindly, blew the tea and took a sip, and said, "Isn't this a happy event, I want to discuss it with your mother." ”

　　Qiao Yue was confused in his heart, but did not ask more, but replied: "Niang went to the county tofu factory to help, to see the sky... Should be coming back soon. ”

　　Hearing this, Third Aunt You smiled and said, "Then I won't sit still and wait, there is still something going on at home, I will come back in the morning, and I will be annoyed that my eldest niece will talk to your mother and wait for me at home." ”

　　Qiao Yue nodded, and Third Aunt You put down the tea cup and walked out of the Su family.

39. Chapter 39...

　　"Xu Yuanzhong's daughter?" In the hall, Liu Shi frowned slightly when he heard what Third Aunt You said, and thought for a moment that the people who knew around him did not have this name.

　　Liu Shi looked at Third Aunt You doubtfully.

　　Third Aunt You smiled and said, "Look at me, I haven't even introduced it, old sister, this Xu Yuanzhong lives in the county family is doing the restaurant business, the business is good and the family is solid." ”

　　Hearing that it was a business, Liu Shi did not show any excitement and happiness, and now their family is also doing business, and they have also done several doors, and this silver has earned a lot, which has greatly improved Liu s vision.

　　"Our family has never had contact with the Xu family, how can it be sudden..." Liu Shi wondered in his heart, this Xu Yuanzhong they absolutely do not know, how can they suddenly come to the door to get married, their family is a restaurant, the family foundation must be thick, how can they look at their poor family?

　　You San Aunt knew her doubts, she was naturally aware of the reason that Lady Xu personally sought out, and immediately told Liu Shi to listen.

　　"The girl of the Xu family is fifteen years old, with a dignified and docile personality, some time ago I met your little grandson by chance, and after the two of them met, this girl was not your grandson and did not marry, and Mrs. Xu was unable to do so, so I was asked to go to the door and talk to the old sister."

　　You Sanjie is a famous matchmaker in Hong'an County, and as long as she intervenes in this affair, there is an 80% chance. Liu Shi also knew her, and after listening to her introduce the Xu family, he asked with some doubt: "My family's conditions are not good, Tiger Zi this child has always been generous, how can Miss Xu look up to him?" ”

　　Third Aunt You said, "Old sister, how come you don't know your own family, your grandson learning bamboo weaving from Boss Sun is already a small achievement, and in a short period of time, this salary has been taken as much as the teacher." It is a rare good seedling. ”

　　Hearing her praise for her grandson, Liu Shi was still very happy.

　　Third Aunt You said, "Don't hide from the old sister, Mrs. Xu really does not agree with this marriage, before looking for me to come to the door, Mrs. Xu has already found someone to inquire about your family, and she knows that Su Xiaolang is a good person and self-motivated, so she agrees." ”

　　"Old sister, the Xu family's business in the county is very prosperous, the family is rich, this affair can be described as a pie in the sky, and your family is beneficial and harmless, what are you hesitating about?"

　　She said that the sky was falling, and what the Xu family said was one of the hundred, miss Xu family could look at Su Zhengbao, which was a heavenly fate, if this affair could be accomplished, Su Zhengbao's benefits would be great in the future.

　　Liu Shi was also a little moved when he heard this, but he did not agree and said, "I still need to discuss this matter with Zhengbao's father." ”

　　Third Aunt You nodded, "I'll come back in two days." ”

　　After Su Erlang and his wife and Qiao Yue returned that afternoon, Liu Shi told the story.

　　"Old man, what do you think?" Liu asked.

　　Zhao Shi said with a happy face: "Mother, this family affair is good, I have heard of this Xu family restaurant, it is near the academy where Sanlang studied, and the business is really good." ”

　　At the end of the year, the business was busy, Su Zhengbao had not returned for two months, so Zhao Shi did not know what happened between his son and Xu Yingying, and now when he heard Liu Shiyi, his heart immediately became excited.

　　The conditions of the Xu family were there, and there must be many people who came to the door to intercede, but they did not expect that this only daughter had actually taken a fancy to Su Zhengbao, and it was a relative that she did not dare to dream of marrying the Xu family.

　　Qiao Yue frowned when she listened, she was not very clear about the Xu family that suddenly appeared, she only vaguely remembered that the two sons of the Xu family were not good goods, as cannon fodder in the book, it was just three words and two words, and now that she heard that she wanted to marry the Xu family, Qiao Yue intuitively felt that this was not a good family affair.

　　"Second sister-in-law, we are not familiar with this Xu family, so why don't we ask about it for a while and then decide?" Qiao Yue said.

　　Hearing the rumors, Zhao Shi was slightly stunned, and looked at Qiao Yue incomprehensibly, didn't the matchmaker of the Xu family already say it very clearly, the two sons were already married, only one daughter was waiting for the boudoir, the family opened a restaurant for many years, there was also some reputation in the county, the girl's temper was good, what else to inquire about?

　　Qiao Yue saw that everyone was looking at themselves, so he smiled and said: "Marriage is a lifelong event, mainly we don't know the xu family, this Xu girl we have not seen, the miss raised in the honeypot, I don't know if I can adapt to the life of our family." ”

　　Qiao Yue's words also had another meaning, and everyone understood it, and Zhao Shi thought about it for a while.

　　This Xu family is rich, their daughter has grown up from a young age, and the Su family's mud legs for several generations have only now slowly embarked on the road of doing business, but the family foundation and the Xu family are incomparable, and it is really difficult to say whether this Xu family girl can adapt.

　　Zhao has always wanted to marry his son a daughter-in-law with good family conditions, especially now that his son has a craft, this condition has come up, and there are more choices.

　　However, after the affairs of the eldest sister-in-law Xu, Zhao Felt that this daughter-in-law still had to be clear in her mind to live a good life towards her husband's family.

　　They didn't know anything about Xu Girl, and if they just looked at the surface and got married, who knew if there would be problems in the future.

　　Zhao Shi's face retreated from excitement, nodded his head and said calmly: "Little Sister is right, or look at each other and then make a decision." ”

　　After the family reached a consensus, the next day after explaining to You Sanjie, who came to the door, Su Erlang went to the county to pick up the tiger and asked about the situation.

　　"I've only met her a few times." Tiger Zi was a little embarrassed, his thick face was a little red, he told the story again, he and Xu Yingying met when they were shopping.

　　Tiger Zi learned the craft from Boss Sun, this half year has passed, the craft has grown a lot, Boss Sun let Tiger Zi take his own items to the market to sell, which is also instructed by Qiao Yue, want to exercise the communication skills of Tiger Zi.

　　Xu Yingying is interested in a small toy woven by the tiger, want to buy it but found that there is not enough silver, hesitated but was preemptively bought away, the little girl was red in the eyes, the tiger hurriedly comforted, promised to weave her a separate one, Xu Yingying was happy.

　　With this beginning, the two young people talked to each other, Xu Yingying liked the craftsmanship of the tiger, and the two of them became acquainted with each other.

　　Seeing this look of his son, Zhao Shi naturally knew that he was moved by Xu Yingying, and his look changed at the moment, and he cautiously asked: "Tiger Zi, are you a Xu girl..."

　　"Nothing! Absolutely not, mother, I only talked to Aunt Xu at the market. Tiger Zi's face blushed to his neck, and he waved his hand affirmatively.

　　"That's fine." Zhao Shi nodded.

　　Two days later, Third Aunt You came to the door and said that Madame Xu was going to entertain them at a restaurant in the county.

　　This meal was very important, and the Su family attached great importance to it, so they changed into the clothes they wore for the New Year's Festival and rushed to the restaurant together.

　　When they arrived, Madame Xu was already waiting in the restaurant.

　　Xiao Er, who led the way, led them to a private room, pushed open the door and then the Su family walked in, and saw Mrs. Xu sitting at the table and the two little girls sitting next to them.

　　"Come, all of you, please sit down." Madame Xu did not get up, raised her hand and smiled and signaled everyone to sit down.

　　The first time I came into contact with your lady, the Su family was a little tied, the lady in front of her was gorgeously dressed, more than forty years old but well maintained, the makeup was exquisite like a thirty-year-old woman, sitting at the table with a generous manner, a look is pampered for many years.

　　Several people of the Liu clan looked at each other and all sat down.

　　Following the scene of You San's aunt who came to the scene, mrs. Xu introduced the Su family to mrs. Xu one by one.

　　"Lady Su, Aunt You has already told you about the matter, but I don't know what you and Mrs. Su think?" Mrs. Xu spoke slowly and logically, and her expression was very gentle.

　　Zhao Shi had never spoken to such a noble lady, her face was a little red nervously, her hands were tightly stirring the veil in her hands, looking at her mother-in-law.

　　In the end, Liu Shi was a person who had seen the wind and waves, and in the face of Madame Xu, who was wearing gold and silver, she did not shy away from the stage at all, and said generously: "Miss Xu's golden branches and jade leaves, my grandson is afraid that he is not worthy." ”

　　Madame Xu smiled slightly, "Where the eldest lady said, we are all the people who are not worthy to say, Su Xiaolang is honest and steady, the most rare." ”

　　Zhao Shi looked happy when he heard this, and said, "Madam Xu, it is my son who has climbed high. ”

　　Mrs. Xu replied with a smile, and did not dislike the Su family in the countryside at all, bluntly saying that she did not look at the Su family, but her daughter liked it, and she could only rely on the mother.

　　After some discussion, the Su family's impression of this Mrs. Xu was excellent, gentle and generous, and the words were all a piece of motherly heart worried about the daughter, which made the Su family's heart completely put back into the stomach.

　　Before they came, they felt that the rich lady of the rich family must not be able to speak, and they must not look up to such a mud-legged person, they had already discussed it, if Mrs. Xu was disgusted, everyone would immediately turn around and leave, and the marriage would be terminated immediately.

　　But unexpectedly, this Mrs. Xu was so kind and kind, and she always stressed that as long as her daughter had a good life, she would be satisfied, so that the Su family who wanted to refuse could not refuse at all.

　　Yinyue Lou was originally the xu family's property, and after talking about it, Mrs. Xu invited them to a hearty lunch, and when she left, she also carried a few boxes of pastries for them to bring back.

　　"Mother, I didn't expect this Lady Xu to be so kind." Zhao Shi walked next to Liu Shi with a cake in his hand, and his tone of speech was somewhat abrupt, and his expression was excited to the point of being a little confused.

　　She didn't expect her son to be able to climb such a good family affair, looking back at the Xu family's restaurant, the three-story restaurant was full of people, how much income this day.

　　Liu Shi was also very satisfied, if he said that before they met, they were still a little worried that the Xu family would not be able to get along, then now this idea has been completely dispelled, and if the grandson can marry such a wife, it will be the blessing of their Su family.

　　"We must pay close attention to this matter, and strive to settle the matter of the two children years ago, and the night in the province is long and dreamy." Liu Shi instructed.

　　"Hey!" Zhao Shi nodded fiercely, and the rising corners of his mouth could not fall down at all.

　　Qiao Yue looked back at the carriage going in the opposite direction, some thoughtful, Mrs. Xu's performance was indeed perfect, did not look down on them, did not put up a stinky shelf of rich people, and praised Su Zhengbao, so that people could not pick out any problems.

　　But because of this, Qiao Yue felt that something was wrong.

　　Mrs. Xu's performance seemed to be somewhat urgent, although there was no strict intention to prepare for the marriage of the two as soon as possible, but the words were full of hints.

　　No, the Liu and Zhao clans who were walking in front were already discussing the ceremony with great interest.

　　Dating is a big thing, and it is such a good family in the county, and this matter quickly spread in the village.

　　It's just that this family affair is very important, but it can't be done in a moment and a half.

　　It is almost the end of the year, the Su family's business is getting busier and busier, the tofu stall sells several goods a day, the morning soy milk and bean brain with fritters, hemp balls and tea eggs are also sold very fast, the surrounding shops are looking at the eyes are hot.

　　"Oh, I'm exhausted!"

　　Returning home in the afternoon, Zhao Shi groaned and went to the wide chair without a image, raising his hand to hammer the sore shoulders and neck.

　　Qiao Yue was also tired enough, her young Su Erlang and Zhao Shi were afraid of tiredness of her, only let her be responsible for collecting money to find money and clean up the table, Rao was like this, Qiao Yue also ran the soles of her feet sore.

　　"Mother, shall we ask two workers to help?" Qiao Yue put down the cash drawer and said.

　　Liu Shi was stunned for a moment and said, "Please? It costs a lot of money. She didn't agree, but at the end of the year, the business would be so tired, if it was a normal day.

　　Qiao Yue raised her feet with a bitter face, took off her shoes and socks to show Liu Shi, "Mother, my feet are blistering." The voice was pitiful, Liu Shi really saw the blisters when he saw it, and said painfully: "Mother went to get some medicine to wipe it." ”

　　This time can make Qiao Yue tired, every morning to get up early and prepare hundreds of pounds of tofu with the family, in order to make the secret of tofu is not known by others, Qiao Yue has always mastered the core skills of tofu, when she orders tofu, she closes the door and operates by herself, even Liu Shi does not let her see.

　　After doing a good job, when you get to the county, you will be busy, and most of the time will make people tired and unable to straighten up.

　　Sujia Tofu Factory is the only one in the county, and there are many people queuing up every day to buy it, although the income has doubled several times, but it is really tired.

　　Zhao Shi's expression was tired, and he answered: "Mother, the little sister is right, or please." She was also tired not lightly, although she bought a small donkey to come back to grind tofu, but every day when she got up early, she had to stand there to do frying, and she had to stand down half a day with back pain, and she had to wash a lot of things when she came back.

　　Su Erlang had just come in from outside the door, and he unloaded everything on the donkey cart and moved it to the well, and after a while it was convenient for them to clean, he went to the back again to prepare to soak soybeans.

　　Seeing that his daughter-in-law and daughter were tired like this, Liu Shi said bitterly: "Be well, please, please tomorrow." ”

　　Qiao Yue said happily: "Then please mother, please two people, one to help make tofu and the other to help at the stall." ”

　　The life of making tofu is not light, sieving soy milk will take a handful of strength, the output has increased in the past few days, and Su Erlang has been tired to the point that his arms are almost unable to lift up.

　　Liu Shi is old, there are few places to help in business, and he and the second lady wash and cook at home every day to take care of the door.

　　The three of them discussed the salary, and Liu Shi said that he would find two people in the village tomorrow, and he would be at ease to live close to the roots and know the bottom.

40. Chapter 40...

　　Chapter 40

　　After inviting the workers, the life in the hands is much easier.

　　The fifth sister-in-law who lives at the end of the village is in her forties, and her hands and feet are sharp, and her face is also very kind, and with her help, the work in Qiao Yue and Zhao's hands is half lighter.

　　Just after the busy afternoon, Qiao Yue went to the stall diagonally opposite to buy a few bowls of egg fried rice, and the three of them sat around the table and ate it.

　　"Aunt, aunt." The three of them were eating, and a soft voice sounded around them, and when they looked up, a girl in a honey-colored dress was standing in front of several people with a smile, carrying a bag of things in her hand.

　　"Ah, isn't this Aunt Xu, sit down quickly, there's a cold wind blowing this day, how did you get here?" When Zhao Shi saw that she was a future daughter-in-law, she immediately smiled and blossomed on her face.

　　Xu Yingying thanked her and sat on a stool next to her, and the fifth sister-in-law on the other side got up and walked to the side, and helped pour a cup of water over.

　　Xu Yingying put the things in her hands on the table, "Knowing that the aunts must be eating in the morning, my mother asked me to buy a roast chicken to send over."

　　Roast chicken was bought on the street, wrapped in thick oil paper, and steamed up as soon as it was opened.

　　Zhao Shi was overjoyed, "Your mother has broken the bank." ”

　　After a few polite sounds, Zhao Shi took a plate and clipped a few pieces of chicken out, the three of them divided it, and the rest was repackaged and put into the basket under the table to take back to the family to eat.

　　Zhao Shi is very interested in this daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door, and he is also very satisfied, this is already the Waxing Moon, the Su family rushed to give the two children's affairs, Xu Yingying lived in the county, often came to their stalls, and occasionally brought something to eat.

　　"My aunt and aunt can go home early today." Xu Yingying looked at the general stall that had been empty and said.

　　Zhao Shi nodded, "Yeah, at the end of the year, there are more and more people on the street." ”

　　Although this time is very tired, but the silver earned is still very impressive, she looked at Xu Yingying's eyes and turned to Qiao Yue: "Little sister, it is not easy for Yingying to come over on this cold day, and you will take her to the street later." ”

　　With that, Zhao Shi took out two or two pieces of silver from the purse around his waist and handed them to Qiao Yue.

　　Going out to play Qiao Yue naturally would not refuse, she nodded and said, "Second sister-in-law, you can rest assured." ”

　　Before the meal was eaten, someone came to buy something in front of the stall, the fifth sister-in-law put down the bowl to be busy, and Zhao Shi also finished the meal and put on the apron and walked over.

　　Qiao Yue and Xu Yingying went to another street to walk around.

　　"Sister-in-law, your face is a little ugly, is it because the business at home is too busy and tired?" Xu Yingying looked at Qiao Yue's eyes and cared.

　　Qiao Yue nodded, "This time is really busy, and I have to run at both ends every day." ”

　　The two of them talked and entered a jewelry shop, qiao Yue touched his shoulder-length hair, walked to the counter and picked out two new silk flowers and a pair of silver hairpins of butterfly love flowers.

　　"Yingying, you can also come and see, like what to take." Zhao gave Qiao Yue two or two pieces of silver to let her bring people to buy things, and now the Su family's tofu business is doing well, although the family is still the same as always, but this rich daughter-in-law Zhao Shi who is about to pass through the door is still very willing.

　　Xu Yingying watched Qiao Yue check out at the counter, one or two pieces of silver were paid out casually, her heart was a little hot, and she already had a smile on her face, "How good is this?" Although he said the words of prevarication, his eyes were already glued to those exquisite jewelry.

　　Qiao Yue smiled and said that it didn't matter, Xu Yingying knew that Fang Cai Zhao clan must have taken the silver to her, pretending to shirk a few words and then took a fancy to a peacock bead of silver, the price is not cheap to one or two or five silver.

　　Xu Yingying did not say that she wanted to buy, but just took it in her hand and looked at it, and the clear-eyed people could see that she liked it very much, and the guy on the side smiled and said: "Girl's good eye, this plutonium is the most popular style in Beijing, our store sold out as soon as it was sold out, and now only this one is left." ”

　　Xu Yingying held her eyes in her hand and glanced at Qiao Yue, she didn't know how much silver Zhao had given her, the first time she went shopping, she didn't know if the other party could accept such an expensive thing.

　　Only to see Qiao Yue take a step forward: "You must look good when you wear it, buy it." After saying that, he took a piece of broken silver from the inside with a purse and handed it to the fellow.

　　"Thank you sister-in-law." Xu Yingying smiled happily, Qiao Yue paid so quickly, it can be seen how much she earns from doing business on weekdays, she is from the county, her identity is higher than the Su family's group of mud legs, I don't know how much, the Su family is willing to spend money for herself and makes her feel comfortable.

　　Coming out of the jewelry shop, the two chatted idly and walked to the street, and at the end of the year, the street became more and more lively, and big red lanterns and mascots were hung everywhere, a festive scene.

　　Xu Yingying seemed to inadvertently ask, "Little sister, why don't you ask Zhengbao to go back to help now that the family is so busy?" ”

　　Qiao Yue stopped in front of a stall to buy a handful of caramel and said, "If you hire someone, you can still be busy, and tigers are not good at learning crafts." ”

　　Xu Yingying knows how delicious the Su family's tofu is, the whole Hong'an County does not have food, delicious and cheap, the key is that the tofu is still a lot of eating, there are many restaurants want to order tofu, but the Su family tofu just made, the output can not come up for a while, the Su family also has their own ideas, this tofu is supplied to several restaurants every day The amount of tofu is very small.

　　Scarce things are expensive, their tofu is not worried about the buyer at all, as well as those dried tofu, oil tofu, curd milk, moldy tofu and the like, is also a best-seller, she usually as long as she stands there for a stop, the sound of copper plates into the box does not stop.

　　In contrast, Su Zhengbao's income from bamboo weaving is far less than that of making tofu.

　　Listening to Qiao Yue say this, Xu Yingying was not good to say anything more, and Qiao Yue entered a fat powder shop, and when she came out, she carried a few small boxes in her hand.

　　Walking along, the two saw a lot of people in front of a drug store, still talking about something, and looked at each other and walked over.

　　Squeezed into the crowd, this is to know that Rong An Tang came to a divine doctor who traveled in all directions, and this divine doctor used to go out from Hong'an County, when he was a child, he had a chance to worship the medical immortal as a teacher, and later he had a reputation in the rivers and lakes, and now he is already a sixty-year-old man, but he still does not forget his hometown, and every year he will return to Hong'an County to diagnose difficult and complicated diseases for the villagers.

　　Qiao Yue felt that this was a rare opportunity, she touched the birthmark on her face, although this birthmark did not affect her daily life, but girls are all beautiful, and no one likes to have such an ugly birthmark on their face.

　　When she first came here, her original body could not keep up with nutrition, she was short, her skin was yellow and dull, and a face smeared with facial fat had no effect, and the birthmark was not very obvious.

　　After half a year of cultivation, the height visible to the naked eye has grown a little taller, the skin is also white, eat well and sleep well, the whole person is rosy and shiny, this piece of purple and black birthmark is particularly prominent on the face, which greatly affects the mood.

　　Before Qiao Yue had seen all the doctors in the county, the results she got were that there was no medicine to cure, she was brought out of the womb and was very difficult to treat.

　　Now that such a divine doctor has appeared, she naturally wants to try it.

　　"Sister-in-law, do you want to see the doctor?" Xu Yingying also squeezed over and looked at the long line and asked.

　　Qiao Yue nodded, pointed to the birthmark on his face and said, "I want to see this." ”

　　Xu Yingying nodded clearly, the birthmark on Qiao Yue's face is indeed very conspicuous, she looks quite good, the skin is also white, Pingbai is destroyed by this birthmark, it is normal to want to heal, after all, which girl does not love beauty.

　　"But there are so many people in this line, when are we going to wait?"

　　The divine doctor came to sit in the hall, and the number of people who came to this admiration did not know how many, at a glance, at least dozens of people were lined up, which had to wait until it was estimated that it would not be dark.

　　Qiao Yue smiled a little, went straight to the front of the position, found a woman to say a few words, and then took out a silver ingot of five or two from her sleeve and stuffed it into the woman's hand, and the woman gave up her position with a smile.

　　The people in the back were a little dissatisfied, and the woman only said that Qiao Yue was her relative, and she had also come to help with the queue.

　　The ability to have money is different, Qiao Yue stood in the team with peace of mind, and turned her head to wave to Xu Yingying.

　　Xu Yingying: "..."This is five or two pieces of silver!" Enough for ordinary people to live for half a year, she gave it to people so easily, just to buy a position?

　　She knew that the Su family had money, but she didn't expect that Qiao Yue, a twelve- or thirteen-year-old girl, was carrying so much silver with her, and at the moment her eyes scanned the small cloth bag she was carrying, not knowing how much silver was in it.

　　She felt in her heart that the Su family was really very casual, a little girl actually let her put so much silver, although the family had money, but it was not spent like this.

　　Xu Yingying was a little unhappy, their family still opened a restaurant, she spent money again, this shot is five or two silver that is also a very small minority.

　　For Qiao Yue's origin, Mrs. Xu had already inquired clearly, Qiao Yue was just a daughter adopted by the Su family, which cost money even more generously than the Su family's grandson.

　　Although there was dissatisfaction in his heart, he still had a smile on his face and walked to Qiao Yue's side to follow her in line.

　　After about half an hour, it was finally Qiao Yue's turn.

　　When he went in, Dr. Yao Shen was drinking tea with a cup of tea, and the three or four guys in the medicine hall were running around grabbing the medicine without touching their feet, and Rong An Tang was the largest medicine shop in Hong'an County, and it was also opened by Yao Shen Doctor's apprentice.

　　Qiao Yue took off the scarf on her head to explain the situation. Dr. Yao Shen went over to examine it carefully, and after carefully examining the pulse, he said: "The girl is assured, this birthmark can be cured." ”

　　"Really? Divine Healer. Qiao Yue looked at the old man with excited eyes.

　　Yao ShenYi nodded, raised his pen to write the prescription, just put down the pen but paused, looked at Qiao Yue with some hesitation, "What happened to the Divine Doctor?" Qiao Yue asked.

　　Doctor Yao Shen did not hide it either, saying, "Girl, are your parents here?" ”

　　Qiao Yue shook her head, a little puzzled why the divine doctor asked this, suddenly a flash of inspiration in her mind, she smiled and said: "Divine doctor, although you prescribe the prescription, I have silver." ”

　　As she spoke, she took out a silver ticket of fifty taels from her sleeve.

　　To tell the truth, now Qiao Yue has no shortage of silver in his hand, the dividend of the bamboo weaving the day before yesterday got his hand, one hundred and eighty taels, and the last batch of essential oil soap earned and also earned nearly two hundred taels.

　　Since looking at the birthmark on her face, Qiao Yue has seriously saved money, this small place can not cure the difficult disease, it must be very expensive silver, she must prepare early, otherwise this birthmark will grow with age, and it will be more difficult to treat.

　　Yao Shen Doctor was stunned for a moment, and looked at Qiao Yue without a trace, the little girl in front of her did not look like a child of a large family, and she did not expect to shoot so generously.

　　Similarly, Xu Yingying's eyes standing behind Qiao Yue were wide-eyed, and she clearly saw that it was a silver ticket of fifty taels, and suddenly, there was something wrong with her look in Qiao Yue's eyes.

　　In just a moment, Yao Shen Doctor retracted his gaze, neatly wrote down a prescription and handed it to the medicine boy next to him, the medicine boy took the formula and quickly went to grab the medicine, and the other idle medicine boy immediately walked to Yao Shen Doctor's side and waited.

　　"This is how to use it, I write it here, and the girl holds the spare." Doctor Yao Shen handed Qiao Yue a piece of paper and carefully told her how to use the medicinal herbs.

　　"These medicines are ground into powder and mixed with cold boiling water, smeared on the birthmark, wrapped in clean gauze for half an hour, twice a day, during which the wound cannot be cleaned....."

　　Dr. Yao Shen said carefully, and Qiao Yue listened carefully.

　　"Wait for a month to expire, change to another kind of flour, and you will be cured after three months."

　　"Thank you Doctor." Qiao Yue nodded seriously.

　　Dr. Yao Shen repeatedly instructed, "You must not get wet before you are cured." ”

　　"Well, thank you Doctor." Qiao Yue nodded and took the bill to check out.

　　"Girl, seventy-two taels of silver in all." The treasurer of Rong An Tang personally sat behind the counter to collect money, and when he saw Qiao Yue dressed normally, he still had some guilt in his heart, but after seeing Qiao Yue casually take out two silver tickets of fifty taels, the expression on his face was immediately different, he smiled and squinted at the silver ticket and crossed out the bill, weighed the silver with a knife, and handed the wrapped several large bags of medicine to Qiao Yue.

　　"Yingying, let's go." Qiao Yue solved a matter of heart, the mood was very good, greeted Xu Yingying, and the footsteps easily left the Rong'an Hall.

　　Xu Yingying behind her was not as relaxed as she was, it took seventy or eighty silver, and she now felt that the birthmark on Qiao Yue's face was actually not a big deal, but it was ugly, and it would not hurt the body, why waste so much silver.

　　After separating from Xu Yingying at the intersection, Qiao Yue walked briskly towards the stall.

　　"Xiao Yue, why are you so happy, what's the good thing?" Zhao Shi looked at Qiao Yue in surprise and walked over, not as steady as before, and asked in surprise.

　　Qiao Yue's cheeks were red with laughter, and he slipped up the medicine bag and said, "Second sister-in-law, today I can rely on your blessing, only then did Yingying and I go to the street to hang out and encounter Yao Shen Doctor to sit in the hall, I went in to see the birthmark on my face, Yao Shen Doctor said that it could be cured, and prescribed medicine for me." ”

　　The tone of her speech was unstoppable excitement, Zhao Shi looked at her radiant appearance as if the little girl had received something beloved, her eyes were happy to shine, she also laughed and said, "This is very good." ”

41. Chapter 41...

　　Chapter 41

　　Heavy snow came, and on the afternoon of the twentieth day of the twentieth month, the sky was overcast for most of the day, and suddenly there was heavy snow.

　　But in an hour, the snow flakes were spreading all over the ground, and the bare branches were covered with snow.

　　Liu Shi stood under the eaves of the courtyard door with a sigh of relief and looked into the distance, about a tea time to see Zhao Shi and Qiao Yue and others rushing over with a donkey cart.

　　Xu Yingying wore a blue embroidered jacket skirt with a delicate white fur collar at the neckline and cuffs, her face was raw, holding a freshly filled soup woman in her hand, and she stood on the dry floor under the eaves looking out at her feet wearing a pair of pink thick-soled embroidered shoes.

　　The snowy day cooled down, the hair on Yuanbao's body was not deep, the snow fell on the top of his head, when he ran, his mouth and nose saw a large amount of white gas exhaled, Xu felt the cold, he didn't need Su Erlang to wave the whip, and when he saw his own door, he accelerated his pace and ran into the courtyard.

　　"Coming back." Liu Shi laughed out loud, stepped forward to help Qiao Yue jump down from the donkey cart, saw that there was snow falling on her head, and quickly wiped it with a cloth towel.

　　Hearing the sound, Su Yanzhi and his nephew Tiger Zi both walked out of the house and saw that they were unloading their things and rushed forward to help.

　　"I'll come." Qiao Yue was moving the heavy barrel, when Su Yanzhi came over and took it with his hand, and moved the barrel down with both hands.

　　"Third brother, you quickly enter the house, and you will get wet and you will get sick." Qiao Yue said.

　　Su Yanzhi hugged the barrel and said, "It's all right." ”

　　Now he is no longer the sallow-faced and thin Su Sanlang he used to be.

　　For more than half a year, Qiao Yue changed the flowers to make him a good meal, chicken soup and duck soup, and daily meat and vegetarian food.

　　Even when he went to the academy, Qiao Yue also let the restaurant make meals every day and send them over, so he didn't know how many people in the academy were envious.

　　Even Zhou Qin said in a sour tone that it would be good if there was such a sister, plus she also went to the drug store to buy tonics, and then boiled once every few days to give him a drink, this body after such a long period of nourishment, the previous small problems caused by malnutrition have all gone.

　　The crowd moved all kinds of utensils into the tofu room, and Zhao carried a large basket of pots and pans and spoons that needed to be cleaned under the eaves.

　　"Second sister-in-law, I'll help you." Qiao Yue saw Zhao Shi drawing water from the well, turned around and went into the kitchen to take the ash and wash the dishes and squat by the big basin.

　　"Don't you get it, you go and rest." Zhao Shi put down the bucket and grabbed the thing in Qiao Yue's hand, "I am already very tired today, you should go take a hot bath and relax." ”

　　"No, second sister-in-law, I'll help you." Dozens of hundreds of bowls and spoons piled up a large basin, Qiao Yue wanted to help wash it, Liu Shi came out of the kitchen and said: "Yue'er, here the mother comes to get it, you go to rest, the bath water I will make for you." ”

　　As she spoke, she turned her head and looked around, and shouted to the tiger in the donkey shed, "Tiger, come and help your aunt carry water to the bathhouse." ”

　　"Hey, here it comes." The tiger answered, took the hay to Yuanbao and ran into the kitchen.

　　The Su family was busy, and Xu Yingying stood in the door and watched all this.

　　The Su family is really good to Qiao Yue's adopted daughter.

　　Her eyes fell on Su Zhengbao, who was carrying two buckets of water, and when she returned from Su Erlang and his wife, the attention of this big family was all on Qiao Yue.

　　She was picked up by the Su family the day before yesterday, saying that she was picked up a few years ago to play for a few days, which is the custom of the Great Yong Dynasty, after the marriage of men and women, the woman will be taken to the man's house for a few days, get along, it is familiar with the environment.

　　Since coming to the Su family, Xu Yingying has been paying attention to the every move of the Su family, the Su family is still kind to her, three meals a day are also exquisite, and her family eats no different on weekdays, even snacks and fruits are available every day, which is already very rare for the rural people.

　　Xu Yingying originally thought that she would definitely live the days of the stars and the moon when she came to the Su family, she was different from the countrymen, she was a thousand gold of the county restaurant owner, eating and wearing was not bad, the Su family could marry a girl like her was already an ancestral accumulation.

　　However, unexpectedly, except for Su Erlang and Su Zhengbao, the su family was very enthusiastic about her, and the others were only polite to her.

　　And for Qiao Yue's adopted daughter, the Su family is too good, at least half of the table when eating is Qiao Yue's favorite dish, so Liu Shi often opens a small stove for her at night to make food, saying that Qiao Yue has to make up for it every day.

　　Xu Yingying feels that Liu Shi is eccentric, the three sons in the family do not have this treatment, Su Sanlang is still a xiucai who reads, he has not seen Liu Shi so concerned, it is simply old and confused, this daughter is the same after the good, and it is a waste to invest so much.

　　"Zheng Bao, my soup lady is not hot." Su Zhengbao just walked to the door, Xu Yingying said.

　　Liu Shi said, "Tiger Zi, there is boiling water in the small stove on the table, and you will also pour a soup lady into Yue'er by the way." ”

　　"Got it, Milk." Huzi took the small copper pot in Xu Yingying's hand and went to the kitchen, but Liu Shi suddenly stood up and said: "Forget it, or don't pour soup po today, I will burn a pot of charcoal in your aunt's house to warm up, she is most afraid of the cold, it is too cold to snow today." ”

　　With that, he went into the utility room and took out a pocket of charcoal from it.

　　Xu Yingying looked at this scene and her face was not very good, she stayed in the Su family for several days, did not use the charcoal basin, originally thought that the charcoal was reluctant to buy, did not expect that the family had long been bought, but to leave it for Qiao Yue to use.

　　Glancing at Xu Yingying, he noticed that her face was not good, and looked at Liu Shi who opened his mouth or swallowed the words in his throat.

　　This charcoal was bought by Su Yanzhi, some time ago the weather was cold, Qiao Yue slept at night and was infected with wind chill, Su Yanzhi knew and took out the private money accumulated for many years to buy two pockets of charcoal, saying that it was for Qiao Yue.

　　Soon, the charcoal basin was ignited, and Liu Shi carried the charcoal basin into Qiao Yue's room.

　　Tiger Zi handed Tang Pozi to Xu Yingying, saw her looking in Liu's direction, smiled and said, "Yingying, I just installed a fire bucket, I will carry you to the room." ”

　　Xu Yingying retracted her gaze, looked at the fire bucket at Su Zhengbao's feet, muttered faintly, turned around and swung her skirt up and lifted her feet to the room.

　　The room where Xu Yingying lived was that of the Yunniang sisters, and Yunniang and the second lady slept in their parents' room, and Su Dalang drank his brother Su Sanlang and huddled together.

　　Su Zhengbao carried the bucket to her room and walked out, although the two of them had been betrothed, but after all, they had not yet become relatives, and it was still inappropriate to be alone.

　　Su Zhengbao stood outside the window, and Xu Yingying sat by the window holding Tang Pozi, not looking at the fire bucket that was ashed at the first stroke.

　　Su Zhengbao looked at the girl's white and feminine face in front of him, his eyes were a little straight, he still felt a bit like a dream, he was an ordinary countryman, and he was actually favored by a lady like Xu Yingying.

　　Not only did he feel unreal, even the people of Qiushan Village felt unreal, Su Zhengbao, the young boy, actually ate swan meat, and Xu Yingying's beautiful daughter-in-law could not find a second in Qiushan Village.

　　"ZhengBao, your family members are really good to your sister-in-law." Xu Yingying began to speak, Su Zhengbao replied, subconsciously looked at Qiao Yue's room, nodded, and said: "Yes." ”

　　The sister-in-law has a gentle personality and will earn money, and is good to the family, of course, they must be good to the sister-in-law.

　　Looking at his honest appearance, Xu Yingying twisted her eyebrows and tentatively asked, "Don't you think your father is better to her than to you?" You didn't even eat chicken soup today. ”

　　The danger of this statement, a bit of a suspicion of provoking dissension, but Su Zhengbao was thick and did not hear it, Shuikou replied: "It is really hard for the little girl and the mother to sell things every day, and the chicken soup is the best for the little girl to supplement her body." ”

　　Of course, when Zhao Shi was cooking, he heated up a large bowl of chicken and chicken soup left over from yesterday for Qiao Yue to eat, saying that he would supplement her body.

　　Xu Yingying's expression was a little difficult to say, how is this Su Zhengbao so embarrassed, good things should be given to the boys in the family to eat, his father and mother will not give him chicken soup to an adopted daughter to eat, he did not feel wrong!

　　Xu Yingying has two older brothers in the family, naturally knows the boy's status in the family, although she has no worries about food and clothing since she was a child, she is picking up the leftovers of the two brothers, and any good things are also tight to the brothers.

　　She thought that everyone's family was like this, after all, the son had to pass on the family lineage, to give the parents a pension and send the end, and the daughter was a member of someone else's family after all.

　　This idea changed after coming to the Su family, the Su family seemed to be an outlier, especially in the countryside, where the preference for sons and daughters was more serious, and their family was not generally good to Qiao Yue's adopted daughter.

　　The three men in the family and Su Zhengbao, the grandson, did not have such good treatment as her.

　　Guan Qiao Yue spends money on weekdays, but also spends a lot of money, buying whatever he wants, and it seems that there is never a shortage of money in the purse, and she is richer than her.

　　Biting her lip and putting away the jealousy that came out of her eyes, she smiled and asked, "Zhengbao, the tofu business at home is so busy, why don't you help at home?" ”

　　Su Zhengbao said, "The family is busy coming, I will concentrate on learning the craft." At the end, he added, "The sister-in-law said." ”

　　Sister-in-law! A few words can not be separated from Qiao Yue, Xu Yingying pinched her fingers, "The tofu of your tofu tastes so good, is there any special seasoning?" I've eaten Linxian tofu, and the taste is far less than your home. ”

　　Su Zhengbao shook his head, "I don't know, the tofu was made by my father and sister-in-law." ”

　　I really don't know anything! Xu Yingying was a little bored in her heart, thinking of her mother's words before leaving, she secretly exhaled and said: "Zhengbao, this tofu is so hot, I heard your family say that Kaichun plans to open a tofu factory in the county, and this business will become busier and busier in the future." ”

　　She had already said this very clearly, but Su Zhengbao didn't have that mind at all, he couldn't understand it, he only wanted to learn the bamboo weaving of the miniature building that Qiao Yue handed over to him, and he was really not interested in making tofu.

　　"Just ask someone." He said seriously.

　　Xu Yingying pulled out a smile at the corner of her mouth, and persevered: "It should be difficult to make tofu, this little soybean can be made into a white and tender tofu feel so magical, Oh, will your aunt do it too?" ”

　　Su Zhengbao nodded, seeing him affirmatively, Xu Yingying felt some heart attack.

　　In the Su family for a few days, she vaguely felt that this tofu factory and Qiao Yue had an inseparable relationship, and it seemed that Su Erlang and his wife had to listen to her.

　　She thought that this was Liu's meaning, wanting her adopted daughter to learn a craft, and then to be able to stand firm in the in-laws' house in the future, Su Erlang and his wife treated Qiao Yue extra because of their mother-in-law.

　　But she still felt incredible, such a money-making craft could let a daughter learn to walk.

　　"Then you can do it too, I'm curious, I want to know how to do it." Xu Yingying stood up and stretched out her white fingers to pull on The sleeve of Lasu Zhengbao's coat, and a delicate and curious expression appeared on her face.

　　Looking at her like this, Su Zhengbao's heart jumped wildly, a stream of hot air rushed straight to the top of his head, and his throat that wanted to speak was a little dry.

　　"I, I won't, Daddy didn't teach me." Su Zhengbao said with a red face.

42. Chapter 42... ......

　　Chapter 42

　　Angry!

　　Xu Yingying wasted so much tongue but did not find out any news, and her face became ugly at the moment. She didn't know whether Su Zhengbao really didn't know or didn't say it, after all, this secret recipe was normal for outsiders not to be told.

　　Su Zhengbao saw that Xu Yingying's expression became stiff and ugly, and asked in a daze, "Yingying, what's wrong with you?" How about this expression? ”

　　Xu Yingying grinded her teeth, suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart, and reluctantly smiled: "I just ask casually, you don't want to say it." ”

　　Where did this come from? Su Zhengbao wondered, "I really don't know, I was still in the county when they made tofu, and then I didn't ask, they didn't say, anyway, I didn't learn to make tofu." ”

　　What he said was very normal, Xu Yingying was really dying speechless, so profitable for a living he didn't even want to learn, learn what bamboo weaving, this poor countryside, even if it is done exquisitely, who has so much spare money to buy it.

　　This tofu is not the same, a few pieces of money, cheap and delicious, but also can do so many tricks, breakfast has soy milk bean blossoms, lunch has oil tofu and dried tofu, thin profits and high sales, one day this copper plate is like rain into the box, who looks at it is hot.

　　Seeing that there was nothing useful from Su Zhengbao, Xu Yingying also had no interest in chatting with him, and turned her head coldly: "The weather is cold, I want to go to bed and lie down for a while." ”

　　"Oh well, then you have a good rest." Su Zhengbao nodded, the window in front of him snapped shut, he touched his head in confusion, not knowing how Xu Yingying suddenly became angry.

　　At the same time, the Xu family door in the eighteenth lane of the county.

　　Seven or eight fierce men with sticks in their hands slammed on the door of the Xu family.

　　"Xu Yuanzhong! You fucking quick open door! "There is a lock on the door, but they know that Xu Yuanzhong is at home, the Xu family owes money for a long time, and they have already figured out the whereabouts of the Xu family just to facilitate the door to ask for money."

　　The gray-clad man chiseled the door, for a long time, there was no movement in the room at all, several people looked at each other, and the big man took a few steps back and raised his right leg and kicked it up violently.

　　"Boo!" With a loud bang, the door was kicked open, making a loud noise, and the brass lock on the door fell to the ground a few times.

　　Several big men broke in, and the courtyard was quiet as if there was no one there.

　　"Big Brother? No one is home? The man behind the gray-clad man gritted his teeth.

　　The Xu family owes a thousand taels of silver, which has been delayed for a long time and has not even paid back 30%, and it seems that it will be the end of the year, and they are still waiting to return the silver to the owner to take the salary home.

　　The gray-robed man sneered, his eyes swept around the courtyard, and he lifted his feet and walked toward the main room.

　　"Xu Yuanzhong, if you don't come out again, don't blame the first few lines for not giving you Xu Dongjia's face." The gray-clad man opened his mouth coldly, and his tone was full of threats.

　　The room was quiet and there was no sound at all.

　　Several people behind them looked at each other, not knowing what the leader meant.

　　The gray-robed man saw that he no longer spoke, and went straight around the screen to the bed, stood at the head of the bed, and raised his hand to turn the floor-to-ceiling candlestick next to the bed.

　　The sound of the mechanism turning sounded, and several people's eyes widened, only to see the treasure shelf next to them slowly move away, and a secret room that could accommodate five or six people was exposed.

　　At this moment, the people hiding inside looked at them with horror on their faces.

　　"Here it is!" A guy shouted, went forward and grabbed Boss Xu, who was standing outside, and threw his hand to the ground.

　　"Ah!" Lady Xu screamed, and she and Xu Yuanzhong and their second son were also dragged out.

　　"Hiding here? Do you think you can hide from it? The gray-clad man walked over to see the four people trembling and shrinking together, and Boss Xu and Mrs. Xu, who had been rich and wealthy in the past, were now frightened and pale, and they were panicked like dogs that had lost their families.

　　"Brother Qiu, if you open Kaien and then forgive us for writing for a while, we will definitely pay back the money." Xu Yuanzhong trembled in his voice and pleaded.

　　Qiu Meng kicked Xu Yuanzhong to the ground, stepped forward and grabbed his shirt, and said, "Xu Yuanzhong, don't be inching forward, the owner has already forgiven you for three months, and you are not quick to return the money!" ”

　　"Me, me, I really don't!" Xu Yuanzhong was kicked in the shoulder, and at this time he was already numb with pain, and he twisted his face and pleaded, "Please give us a little more time, just ten days, ten days!" ”

　　The gray-clad man's cold ice knife gaze swept past them, and Gao Shi only looked at them for a moment and immediately covered his face in fright.

　　"No, no, take out the title deed."

　　Xu Yuanzhong immediately pleaded, "Brother Qiu, please spare us, we only have this one house left now, and this house is not worth a few hundred taels, so you will forgive us for ten days." ”

　　The Xu family's restaurant has already mortgaged interest and a part of the principal, and if the house is handed over, they will definitely stay on the street.

　　"What are you kidding, eight hundred and two silver can be paid off in ten days, you can't be confused in your brain, brother, give me a good lesson to them." Qiu Meng let go of Xu Yuanzhong, stood up and waved.

　　Several people behind them looked at each other, and went forward to grab the father and son three, and the hail-like fist fell in an instant.

　　"Ouch! Stop it. "Don't fight, ah! yes! The three of them held their heads and shrunk to the ground without any power to fight back, allowing them to beat them violently.

　　"Don't fight! Please don't fight! We really have a way, and we will definitely be able to pay it back in ten days! Gao Shi saw that the three fathers and sons had been beaten and their noses were blue and swollen, and the nosebleeds were all flowing out, and they cried and walked to the knees of Qiu Meng.

　　"Stop." Qiu Meng waved his hand, and several people stopped, and the father and son three groaned/groaned as if lying on the ground in pain and about to fall apart.

　　"Let's be clear." Qiu Meng didn't want nonsense, they only wanted to get silver on this trip.

　　Gao Shi wiped his tears and choked up and said, "Brother Qiu, do you know the Su family tofu factory in the county recently?" ”

　　Hearing her suddenly say something that was incompatible with the debt, Qiu Meng said coldly, "What? Is that your relative? ”

　　"No, it's not!" Gao Shi shook his head continuously, but he immediately nodded, "Yes, soon it will be." ”

　　"What the hell are you going to say?" Qiu Meng was impatient with her, and she raised her hand to wave it down.

　　"Don't, Brother Hate, wait!" Gao Shi screamed, frightened like earth, she took a few deep breaths to barely stabilize, said: "Su Family Tofu Factory, in our first is the first share, the business is booming, it is said that you can earn several silver every day, that tofu square should be very valuable." ”

　　Qiu Meng's eyes narrowed slightly, "You want to pay off the debt with Fangzi?" Take it and I'll see. ”

　　Su family tofu factory is indeed very famous, that business is unique, it can be said that it is a hen that lays golden eggs, and the old mother of their owner likes to eat bean blossoms, if the Xu family can come up with this formula, it can be discussed.

　　Gao Shi stammered, "No, no, we haven't got the Fang Zi in our hands yet." ”

　　She saw that Qiu Meng's look was not right, and quickly added, "But soon I can get it, my daughter Yingying has already been betrothed to the Su family's grandson, yingying lives in the Su family these days, and she can get the Fang Zi in these few days." ”

　　Xu Yingying and Su Zhengbao did not meet by chance but were carefully designed by the Su family.

　　Xu Yuanzhong has been opening a restaurant in the county for many years, and he has also saved some family foundations, which is also a rich family in the county, and there are a pair of sons and a daughter.

　　It's just that the heavens are not willing, Xu Yuanzhong's two sons have no interest in doing business, Gao's doting son, from childhood the two sons want to give what they want, developed an arrogant and clumsy nature, and when they grow up, they have become more intense, although they have become a family, but the temperament of the losers cannot be changed.

　　At the beginning of this year, the two brothers met a beautiful flower girl in the flower house, and even secretly raised it in the flower house at home, sprinkling a lot of silver into it, the brothers and the flower girl often came around, and the two also learned some means between the bed, all used on the flower girl.

　　After a long time, the flower girl was actually pregnant, and suddenly died of wind and wind when the three of them were upside down.

　　This can be spread out, the boss of the flower building let them accompany the silver one thousand two monthly interest of one hundred and two.

　　Such a huge debt who can eat and consume, although the Xu family has operated a restaurant for many years, but because the two sons are not instruments, the silver has long been defeated, how to pay off this debt.

　　They knew that they were blackmailed by the boss of the flower building, but there was no way, if they did not comply, the boss of the flower building would have to go to the official, this murder should be cut according to the law, the lightest is exile, how can the Xu family and his wife bear it, they can only promise to pay off the debt.

　　Soon, the restaurant that the Xu family had operated for many years was mortgaged to the owner of the flower building, and now they were just doing free long-term work in the restaurant, and in this way, they had to think of other ways to repay the money, after all, the interest rate was really high.

　　Cornered, the Xu family hit the idea on the Su family, who entered the county to do business.

　　For the tofu that has become popular in the county in just two months, Xu Yuanzhong knows the value of this tofu square at a glance, although there is also tofu in Linxian County, but the tofu is tight and the taste is very general, but the tofu of the Su family is different, the taste is tender and moist, fried and fried, and anything can be done deliciously.

　　Xu Yuanzhong had also bought it, and he was well aware of the value of this delicious and cheap dish.

　　After careful investigation, they targeted Su Zhengbao, who was learning bamboo weaving, if the candidate was definitely the most suitable for Su Yanzhi, but they were worried that the reader was too smart, afraid that he would detect the cat grease inside, and Su Zhengbao was different.

　　Xu family's youngest daughter Xu Yingying was born from a small water spirit, in the past two years, many people have come to the door to propose kisses, with her appearance to take down Su Zhengbao is more than enough, so she designed the event of the two people meeting, and the two also successfully settled after the fact.

　　The Xu family is holding hands to catch the attitude of this matter, the Su family is just an honest peasant family in Qiushan Village, the ancestors have been mud-legged for generations, Xu Yingying is they grew up pampered, every move is everyone's style, the Xu family can marry such a daughter-in-law, I am afraid that I will wake up laughing in my dreams.

　　The biggest reason why they picked Su Zhengbao is that Su Zhengbao is the grandson of the Su family, this tofu factory is also his father's mother in business, this tofu craft his father and mother must have handed over to him, Su Zhengbao is thick, and there is no woman, as long as Xu Yingying makes some means to be able to set out the secret recipe for making tofu from his mouth.

　　The Xu family has a good calculation, as long as they get the tofu square and hand it over to the boss of the flower building, then the Su family will know that they will not dare to touch such a force, and Xu Yingying, as long as she is not related to Su Zhengbao, as long as she will retire the ceremony, she can go home at any time.

　　Qiu Meng and the others listened to her say this, thought about it for a moment, and finally relaxed and promised to give them another ten days.

　　The Xu family thanked everyone for sending them away, and Gao asked the eldest son, who was the most lightly injured, to quickly find the old servant in the family to send a letter to Xu Yingying to the Su family, so that she could get something as soon as possible.

43. Chapter 43... ......

　　"Lady Su, this is my family's soybeans, which have been soaked."

　　In the early morning, Yingzi, the eldest daughter of the zhao old fourth family in the neighboring village, carried a bucket of soybeans and a bundle of firewood into the Su family's courtyard.

　　Liu Shi had just gotten up to boil water to make breakfast, and when he saw Hideko coming, he hurriedly let her into the house to drink hot water.

　　"It's cold after the snow, it's still freezing this morning, how do you get up so early, warm your hands quickly, and look at your face is frozen red." Liu Shi handed over the water and said.

　　"Thank you, Big Lady." Eiko smiled and took the water.

　　"Daddy told me to come early, afraid I wouldn't be able to catch up late." Eiko held the bowl, the hot water warmed the cold hands, this morning in the wind, colder than ever.

　　Their beans had been ready for two days, it was still snowing yesterday, and they didn't catch up when they came at noon, and this morning her father called her up before dawn and asked her to hurry up and bring the beans.

　　Sujia tofu is not only on fire in the county, but also known to people in several nearby villages.

　　During this time, the weather was not good, and the Su family did not plan to go to the county to do business years ago, so they stayed at home to receive a little order from the villagers, beans and firewood, and then sent a person to help, and their family only collected twenty yuan of processing money.

　　Because the tofu is new and delicious, people in this village want to make a commodity for the New Year, and there are many people who come to do it every day, and they can only get up early if they want to take the wheel.

　　After chatting with Ying Zi for a while, Liu Shi took her to the backyard to watch over the little donkey and start grinding tofu.

　　Soon, Qiao Yue and the others all got up one by one, and as soon as they walked out of the house, they were shivered by the oncoming cold wind.

　　At the time of a breakfast, the Su family's yard was crowded with people.

　　Because of the preparation for the New Year, the academy and the bamboo weaving team were on vacation, and Boss Su and his daughter did not go to the county to set up stalls, just to make tofu at home, and the people were powerful, and they could earn hundreds of dollars a day.

　　"Son-in-law, milk, I'll help too." Xu Yingying rarely got up early, wore a cloth coat, and her hair was wrapped in a cloth towel, she went to the kitchen and said.

　　Liu Shi was cooking soy milk, seeing her like this, smiled and said: "Yingying, no need, you are a guest, how can you do this, you go back to the room to rest." ”

　　Xu Yingying rolled up her sleeves and walked up to the gourd scoop to add soy milk to the pot and said, "Grandma, nothing, I've been cooking here for several days, just let me do something." ”

　　A few days ago, when it snowed, she stayed in the Su family on the pretext that the snow was slippery and difficult, during which Xu Yingying always wanted to explore how the Su family made tofu, but she never got her hands on it, and their Su family did not let her touch these at all.

　　The most critical step of making tofu is to change soy milk into bean flowers, which is completed by the adopted daughter Qiao Yue, and the Su family will send the soy milk to the small room in the back after cooking the soy milk.

　　In order to prevent anyone from peeking, the youngest child of the Su family, the second lady, sat outside the door and guarded, except for the Su family, no one could go near the small room, otherwise the second child would knock the gong in her hand.

　　Xu Yingying tried several times can not enter the small room, the heart has been very anxious, yesterday received a message from the old servant at home, know that the family is almost unable to wait, today only put down the big miss shelf to take the initiative to help, hoping to take the opportunity to mix into the small room.

　　Seeing that she had to help, Liu and Zhao looked at each other, and Zhao added a fire to the stove and said, "Then it will be hard for you." ”

　　Xu Yingying said busily: "Not hard, not hard. She looked at the empty barrel and picked it up and walked toward the back of the main house.

　　Two small rooms were built behind the main house, and a small yard was fenced off from the foot of the mountain, where the finished products of soy milk and tofu were ground.

　　Xu Yingying walked over with an empty bucket, in the middle of the courtyard is someone who is taking care of the little donkey pulling the mill, the small room door by the corner wall is open, Su Dalang and Su Erlang are sifting soy milk, Su Zhengbao came out with a bucket of soy milk from the inside, saw Xu Yingying carrying the bucket stunned, greeted a hurry to the front.

　　Xu Yingying did not enter the soy milk room, she carried the bucket and looked at the place where the curtain was hanging, and the small room behind the curtain hung with a big sign 'Outsiders don't go near' was the room where Qiao Yue was located, and the core secret of tofu was there.

　　Carrying the bucket while observing carefully leaning over there, carefully probed and looked at it, only to see that the closed door was sitting in the second lady who was sniffing melon seeds, although she was young, she was very cautious, a pair of eyes looked around flexibly, aware of Xu Yingying's line of sight, the second lady's face suddenly shook, and her eyes stared at Xu Yingying with scrutiny.

　　Being stared at by her like this, Xu Yingying's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and her face flashed with a sense of emptiness, but her eyes kept aiming at the closed room.

　　Seeing that she was staring at her, the second lady picked up the gong and was about to knock it, Xu Yingying was startled and quickly retracted her head.

　　"Yingying, what are you doing?" The shoulder was suddenly patted, and Xu Yingying's already nervous heart was frightened to stop beating a few beats.

　　"Nothing, nothing." She turned around to see Su Zhengbao looking at her strangely.

　　"You can't go to that room, don't go over, if the second lady rings the gong, my father and uncle will beat people." Su Zhengbao reminded her and hurried to the soy milk room.

　　Xu Yingying's face darkened, she was already kissing Su Zhengbao, and she was also half of su's family, and she couldn't even get close.

　　The meaning of Fang Cai Su Zhengbao's words was clear that she did not regard her as a member of the Su family.

　　She scolded a few words in her heart, but she couldn't get close, so she had to carry the bucket to beat the soy milk.

　　The soybean milk in the two pots boiled to a boil, and Liu Quickly beat the soy milk into the bucket and carried it to the small room to give Qiao Yue some ointment.

　　Xu Yingying carried the bucket and followed Liu Shi with her head bowed, trying to mix it up, but was stopped by Liu Shi.

　　"Yingying, you are not yet a member of our Su family, you can't go in there." Liu Shi stared at her with a strange expression, "ZhengBao should have told you." ”

　　Xu Yingying stood there with some embarrassment, "Ah, yes, Zhengbao said, Milk, I went wrong, I didn't want to go in." Her eyes flickered, and she dropped this sentence and turned to go to the soy milk room.

　　"Hmm." Liu Shi looked at her back and snorted softly.

　　In the room, Liu Shi poured two buckets of bean flowers into the jar, and Qiao Yue sat next to him, looked outside the door and asked, "Mother, how?" ”

　　Liu Shi nodded, "You are right, she really can't help it, it is estimated that it is related to the mother-in-law who came yesterday." ”

　　These days Xu Yingying lives in the Su family, and when talking to them, she always sets traps everywhere and wants to set out the core secret of tofu. It's just that the Su family has long known her true purpose, and has been tight-lipped, saying nothing, besides, the tofu point cream this matter Su family really no one knows except Qiao Yue.

　　Qiao Yue's face is complicated, so it is also a little uncomfortable to give a girl a set, but thinking about it, if the tofu fangzi is left out, they Su family can make wedding clothes for others, which is equivalent to giving away the silver of the white flowers, so that Qiao Yue's face is also cold.

　　Before the Xu family let people come to the door to say kiss when Qiao Yue left a heart eye, it is really too coincidental that Tiger Zi and Xu Yingying know each other, what is love at first sight is just a sight, but Tiger Zi is not enough to attract the appearance and family lineage of the big miss, and the Xu family is so active, like the daughter can't marry out.

　　In the past, in a large family, if there was a noble woman who favored a poor child, the parents in the family had to make things difficult and investigate the man, and if there was a slight wrong, it was difficult to achieve this family affair.

　　And the Xu family is not, they roared to the door to invite to meet for dinner, Su Zhengbao's craftsmanship is good, but it is not enough to support the family, but the Xu family does not seem to care, full of mouth is very optimistic about Su Zhengbao, there will definitely be a future, the daughter likes the most important words.

　　Such urgency makes people have to wonder about the problem.

　　The Xu family's restaurant and the market are very far apart, Qiao Yue looked for Zhang Niangzi and Boss Sun to inquire but did not inquire about anything, but Boss Sun has an old age, and his connections are also wide, and he immediately introduced a person known as a jack-of-all-trades to her.

　　Yan Laoqi specializes in the trading of news, the gossip of rich people in Hong'an County, he knows the seven seven eighty-eight, as long as you give enough silver, even if you want to know what color the county Ling's wife wears, he can give you a clear inquiry.

　　Qiao Yue first spent ten silver to inquire about Xu Yuanzhong, and the news he got was indeed nothing unusual, that is, some Yuanzhong raised an outer room, Xu Lady Gao poisoned a concubine in Xu Yuanzhong and those things that were unclear with his cousin, the only noteworthy place was that Xu Yuanzhong's two sons suddenly changed from evil and did not go to the flower building.

　　Qiao Yue intuitively felt that there was something inside, so he gave Yan Lao seventy or fifty taels of silver to inquire clearly.

　　Yan Laoqi is the gold lord who likes such a money and easy life, and immediately punched the package ticket to turn out the bottom of the Xu family's ancestors for several generations.

　　There was silver to open the road, things were very easy to handle, and soon Yan Laoqi inquired about the matter clearly, Xu Yuanzhong's two sons raised the flower building woman to her pregnancy, the woman was also because of the immediate wind one corpse and two lives, was extorted by the flower building boss Gao Li a thousand silver thing.

　　This matter is very secretive, the owner of the flower building suppressed the death of the flower girl because he wanted to take the silver, and the Xu family did not want to let his son go to prison, so he also hid the matter to death.

　　And the Xu family restaurant is also because of the debt and secretly changed the owner of the mortgage to the owner of the flower building.

　　It happened in the first half of the year, and the most recent time the Xu family was asked to be in debt, the boss of Xu was chopped off a finger more than a month ago, when the Su family tofu had just blown wind in the county.

　　The matter was clear and clear in a few strokes, and the Xu family could not afford the silver, so they started the idea of the Su family's tofu fangzi.

　　They must have already inquired before they set the trap, and if they wanted to get close to the Fangzi, they had to break into the Su family first, and there was no easier way than forming a family and not being suspected.

　　The facts are all in front of them, the Su family is only angry after being shocked, the development of tofu they all know in their hearts, good business will certainly make a lot of money in the future, and now someone even uses the party of cheating marriage to steal their secret recipe.

　　Su Lao'er and his wife are the most angry, originally thought that this was a good marriage gifted by heaven, did not expect that it was someone else's calculation, if Qiao Yue did not investigate, I am afraid that in the future they will lose the wife and fold the soldiers, and immediately go to the yamen to file a complaint.

　　Qiao Yue stopped them, feeling that this matter could not be rushed, they did not have evidence that Xu Yingying wanted to steal Fangzi, and if they rushed to file a complaint, they would not only not be angry, but they might be accused by the Xu family of a slanderous crime.

　　If they wanted to steal and get it, they had to invite Jun into the urn, so when the Xu family couldn't wait to betrothed, the Su family agreed to come down.

　　They guessed that the Xu family's debt repayment deadline had arrived, and they would definitely be in a hurry to get Fangzi, and the most likely opportunity to get Fangzi was the girl's stay in the man's house for a few days.

　　Sure enough, Xu Yingying seemed to know the weather changes, and arrived at the Su family two days before the heavy snow, and the third Day should go back but stayed in the Su family due to heavy snow.

　　Yesterday the Xu family came an old woman, claiming to be a relative of Xu Yingying, passing by Qiushan Village and visiting Xu Yingying, the two entered the room to talk secretly for two quarters of an hour, when the mother-in-law left, Xu Yingying's expression was very ugly.

　　Qiao Yue guessed that there must be an accident in the Xu family, and Xu Yingying pretended to be like this for a few days, afraid that she couldn't help but do it.

　　"Mother, come here, I'll tell you." Qiao Yuejin told Liu Shi about the plan in his heart.

44. Chapter 44... ......

　　There was an endless stream of people coming to make tofu, and the Su family was busy until it was almost dark before finally sending the last person away.

　　"Oh, old sister, I'm in trouble with you." The cow aunt at the end of the village smiled and handed the copper plate over, thanking him.

　　"The townspeople are polite and like to come back after eating."

　　Liu Shi looked at the sky and helped Aunt Niu pick up the burden, "It's not early in the morning, the road is wet and slippery, you have to be careful." ”

　　"Oh, okay." Aunt Niu nodded and carried the burden home.

　　Dinner was made by Yunniang, a dish of meat foam tofu, a stir-fried yellow cabbage and a pot of radish rib soup.

　　After a tiring day, no one at the dinner table had the strength to speak, and they all ate in silence.

　　Zhao Shi gave Xu Yingying a bowl of soup, and Xu Yingying drank the fragrant rib soup in the bowl, and her heart was quite unpleasant.

　　When there was no accident in their house, the living conditions were still very good, and although they ate leftovers from the restaurant every day, they were also fresh and clean, and there was never a shortage of meat on the table.

　　However, after the accident, for most of today's time, she had hardly seen much meat, and the boss Xu who was seen by outsiders was not even as good as the guys in the restaurant.

　　Once she fell from heaven, Xu Yingying lost weight in only two months, and later because of the Su family's affairs, the family cobbled together silver to make up for her body, which made up a little.

　　Looking at the few dishes on the table, this is not a dish that rural farmers can afford to eat, these days stay in the Su family, you can eat meat dishes every day, even the simplest fried vegetables, there will be a lot of oil in it.

　　Thinking that the Su family's silver was all based on tofu, Xu Yingying felt that her heart was hot, if their family could get this formula, they couldn't help but dissipate the debt in an instant, and there could be one more town store dish in the restaurant.

　　Everyone seemed to be eating silently, in fact, the afterglow in the corners of their eyes was secretly watching Xu Yingying, but at this moment Xu Yingying was contemplating in her own world and did not feel the gaze of everyone.

　　"Cough cough." In the quiet atmosphere, Zhao Shi cleared her throat, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on her.

　　Zhao Shi smiled and said to Liu Shi: "Mother, today a spring aunt came over and asked me about the tofu factory after our family's years, and wanted her daughter to go to the tofu factory as a helper." ”

　　The Su family wants to open a new tofu factory? Xu Yingying drank the soup and listened without a trace with her ears propped up.

　　Liu Shi said: "This matter has always been handled by the second elder and Yue'er, how is the preparation of the tofu factory?" ”

　　Su Erlang said: "Mother, now the right side of the shop was originally selling soy sauce, but it was moved away last month, I discussed with my little sister, I have bought the shop next door, and the staff is almost the same." ”

　　Hearing this, Xu Yingying couldn't help but be a little anxious, the Su family wanted to open a tofu factory, they had to recruit workers, and when the time came, they would definitely have to go to the county to sign an agreement on the secret tofu fangzi, if it was approved, then even if she stole the fangzi, there was no use, the confidentiality agreement protected the ancestral craft, if the same craft appeared on the market, it depended on the time of signing the agreement, who was good for whom earlier.

　　If things come to pass, Xu Yingying stole the fangzi, not only can not be used, but also will bring trouble to herself and the owner of the flower building, this kind of loss of ancestral craftsmanship, the average family will pursue to the end, after all, this is related to the development of the whole family and the way of money.

　　Xu Yingying bit her lip, cleaned up her expression, and said softly: "Uncle Su, which day will the tofu shop open?" Such a happy event our family must go to Hexi. ”

　　Su Lao'er looked at her and said, "I haven't set a date yet, tomorrow afternoon I will run to yamen to see if I can get the approval documents down." ”

　　Upon hearing this, Xu Yingying breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and said that if the date was set, she must inform them.

　　At dinner, everyone began to clean up the dishes, and Qiao Yue stopped Su Erlang, who was about to leave.

　　"Second brother, come here and I'll give you something." Qiao Yue's voice was not loud, Xu Yingying, who had already stepped out with one foot, heard it and put her foot back, lowered her head and pretended to sort out her clothes, saw that the two did not pay attention to her, and carefully moved closer to Qiao Yue's room.

　　Su Erlang followed her to the door of the room, only to see Qiao Yue holding a small wooden box, the two stood in the doorway, the door was covered, Qiao Yue said in a small voice: "Second brother, don't forget to bring this tomorrow, all the things you need are put inside, the third brother has been drafted, you take it to the master to see." ”

　　Su Erlang nodded, took the box and hugged it tightly, turned and walked outside.

　　Xu Yingying saw several big strides to the door, pretending to bend down and pretending to look for something, when Su Erlang passed by her, Xu Yingying saw the dark red small wooden box with a lock in his arms.

　　In the room, Xu Yingying bit her fingers and expressed an anxious expression, suddenly wanting to realize what she thought, her eyes lit up, lifted her feet and walked out.

　　"Go back tomorrow?" How can it be so sudden? Zhao Shi saw Xu Yingying to resign, which was quite unexpected.

　　Xu Yingying said the words that had been prepared long ago, indicating that tomorrow was her grandmother's death day and she wanted to go back to worship, Zhao Shi nodded and said, "Even so, there will be no more time for you, anyway, there will be time in the future." ”

　　Xu Yingying smiled and nodded, thanked her repeatedly for the hospitality of these days, and went to Liu's room to talk about it.

　　At night, everything was quiet, several members of the Su family had turned off the lights to sleep, only Su Yanzhi's room was still lit up with dim lights, Qiao Yue sat in Su Yanzhi's room, "Third brother, five thousand two is not a small amount." ”

　　Su Yanzhi knew what Qiao Yue was thinking in his heart, and sighed: "Little sister, don't think too much, cutting off people's financial roads is like killing parents, and we have already given her a chance." ”

　　Xu Yingying lived in the Su family for so many days, they did not do anything, and they all tacitly agreed that if Xu Yingying's conscience found that she could not afford to think about it, she would give up, but anyway, she was bent on wanting duan Su family's financial road for thieves, which was no wonder to them.

　　Qiao Yue did not speak, and walked to the window, the bright moon hung high in the night sky, like the moonlight of water shining on the unmelted snow brighter in the night.

　　"Ah!"

　　Suddenly, a scream pierced the night sky, waking up Su's family.

　　"What's wrong, what's going on?" Liu Shi hurriedly ran out with a cotton jacket, and the doors of other rooms were also opened.

　　Xu Yingying crouched down outside the door with tears in her eyes, her clothes thin and trembling.

　　The few people who rushed to the scene glanced at each other without a trace, and Zhao Shi quickened his pace and walked over.

　　"Yingying, what's wrong?" What happened? Zhao Shi squatted down and asked anxiously.

　　Whoops,, there are several rats in the room, and they all climb on the quilt. Xu Yingying's eyes widened in fear and she threw herself into Zhao's arms.

　　"Okay, don't be afraid." Zhao Shi frowned and his expression was very angry, but the words he spoke were unusually gentle and concerned.

　　"How can there be rats in this big winter?" How come I never knew there were rats in the room? "It was Su Dalang who spoke, and the room where Xu Yingying lived was his."

　　Xu Yingying's body froze slightly, raised her head from Zhao Shi's arms, covered her face to cover the look on her face, and sobbed: "I don't know, just now when I was half dreaming and half awake, I heard a squeaky cry, and when I opened my eyes, I saw a mouse in front of my eyes." ”

　　Xu Yingying acted very similarly, with a frightened expression and a frightened body that looked like she was frightened.

　　Zhao Shi sighed, took the clothes handed by Liu Shi and draped them on her shoulders, comforted her a few words, and turned back: "Zheng Bao, you go in to see, you must drive the rats away." ”

　　Su Zhengbao answered and was about to enter, Xu Yingying's hands suddenly grasped Zhao's shirt, and said pitifully: "Concubine, I don't dare to sleep in that room, can I sleep with you?" ”

　　"Sleep with me?" Zhao Shi was a little surprised.

　　Xu Yingying saw her expression like this, and quickly pleaded again: "Concubine, please, I am really afraid." ”

　　After a moment of silence, Zhao Shi said, "Well, then." ”

　　Adjusting the room, Su Erlang went to the eldest brother's room to sleep, and Xu Yingying smoothly followed Zhao Into the room.

　　"Sleep inside, let's rest early in the middle of the night." Zhao Shi closed the door, walked to the dresser to pick up the wooden box, and muttered in his mouth that Su Erlang did not put such an important thing away, put it into his cabinet, locked it and hung the key around his neck.

　　Xu Yingying sat on the bed and saw this scene clearly, she was proud of her plan so smoothly, and the contempt for su's family in her heart was a little more, the countryman was the countryman, and she didn't have any heart and eyes.

　　Su Yingying is very confident in what she wants to accomplish, that is very clear about the characteristics of the countrymen, the heart and eyes are not as deep as the people in the city, and she is also defenseless against herself, I am afraid that she is still immersed in the joy of climbing the big family.

　　When they got into bed, Zhao extinguished the candle, and the two of them closed their eyes and went to sleep.

　　I don't know how long she waited, Xu Yingying felt the sound of Zhao's even breathing coming from her ears, and gently shouted "aunt" Zhao Shi did not react twice, and the corners of her mouth drew a smile.

　　The next morning, after eating breakfast, Xu Yingying offered to say goodbye, and soon the carriage that came to pick her up arrived.

　　Xu Yingying's front foot just left, and on the back foot Qiao Yue disguised herself and rode on a small donkey to follow, on the other side, Su Yanzhi took another road to the Yamen.

　　"Hurry up! Hurry up! Xu Yingying hugged the wooden box tightly, anxiously urging the coachman, while looking at the small window behind, afraid that the Su family would find something missing and catch up.

　　Quickly ma jia whip to the door of Xu's house, Xu Yingying got out of the carriage to look around, pushed open the door and walked in.

　　"Daddy! mother! I am back! Xu Yingying quickly ran into the backyard.

　　"Coming back, did you get your stuff?" Xu Yuanzhong's two sons took the lead and rushed out to ask anxiously.

　　Xu Yingying triumphantly raised her eyebrows and raised the box in her hand, "That's nature." ”

　　"Great!" Several members of the Xu family looked at each other happily and hurried into the room.

　　"Yingying, how did you get such an important thing?" Mrs. Xu Gao pulled her daughter and smiled closely.

　　Xu Yingying sat on the chair and said with a very proud expression: "Naturally, when I go out of the horse, I will naturally grab it by hand, and the su family's gang of countrymen don't have any heart and eyes, I only made a plan to get the things in my hand." ”

　　"It's just that there is a lock on the box, and I can't open it, so I have to take the box back."

　　Boss Xu said, "It's all right, I'll take out the fang zi later and burn the other things on fire." ”

　　Xu Yingying nodded, and said everything about the Su family in the past few days, and finally said in a jealous tone: "How good is the Su family's life now, and in the next year, I will go to open a tofu factory, and the silver is like sweeping into the door with a broom." ”

　　Xu Yuanzhong laughed a few times and said, "All this will soon be our family." ”

　　"Hahaha!" Several people burst out laughing excitedly.

　　Xu Lao'er took a hammer, "Dad, let's open the box and see what secrets this Su family tofu has." ”

　　Several people nodded and watched nervously, "Dang" a sound, Xu Lao's second hand hammer fell, and the small copper lock on it fell in response.

　　Xu Yuanzhong reached out and took out the contents, looked over, and wondered, "How is it a silver ticket?" He counted carefully, and there were five thousand taels of silver.

　　"What about tofu fangzi?" Several people looked at each other, Xu Yuanzhong put the silver ticket on the table, several people looked at the past and did not see anything, Xu Yingying doubted: "There should be an agreement drafted by Su Laosan." ”

　　Several people were strange when they suddenly heard a "bang" and a huge sound came from the doorway.

　　"What's going on?" Gao Shi screamed, and before he could react, he saw two officers and soldiers rush in from the left and right of the flower bed.

　　The head of the Yang Hunt swept around the room with cold eyes, saw the smashed box and silver ticket on the table, and immediately said: "Which is Xu Yingying, Su Jiaxiu accused you of stealing a high amount of money, and the county ordered me to wait to arrest you." ”

　　After speaking, without waiting for the Xu family's reaction, he waved his hand and said, "Collect all the evidence on the table and bring it back to the yamen." ”

　　"Yes." A small soldier responded with a loud cry and quickly packed everything into a black cloth bag.

　　"Yang, Yang catches the head, there must be a misunderstanding here, my little girl did not do that theft." Several people were stunned by the changes that occurred in this instant, Xu Yuanzhong was the first to react, and took a few steps forward with a smiling face: "Yang Yutou is hard, come first to drink a cup of tea and rest." ”

　　Yang Yutou pushed Xu Yuanzhong aside with a big wave of his hand, locked his eyes on Xu Yingying, who was shivering behind Gao's body, pointed at her, and said, "You are Xu Yingying, come and bring her back to Yamen!" ”

　　After saying that, without waiting for a few people to talk again, turn around and leave.

　　"Daddy! mother! Save me! Save me! Xu Yingying was carried forward by two officers and soldiers, and she was so frightened that she burst into tears and turned her head in horror and shouted.

　　"Yingying, Yingying!" Gao Shi covered his heart and cried and chased out.

　　"Dad, we've been put together!" The Su family was deliberate. Boss Xu gritted his teeth and said hatefully.

　　At this point, if there is anything that is not understood, this is clearly the trap of the Su family's plan, they know the purpose of Xu Yingying's going to the Su family, but they do not puncture it, it is here waiting for them.

　　Xu Yuanzhong's face was very ugly, and as soon as he entered the door, Yang Hunt said that the Su family sued Xu Yingying for stealing a high amount of money, not tofu Fangzi, which was enough to show that Boss Xu was telling the truth.

　　"Lord, what can I do about this?" Gao Shi ran back crying, and collapsed to the ground as soon as he entered the door.

　　"Five thousand two silver tickets, this is going to kill the head!" Gao Shi cried so hard that he couldn't stop cursing the Su family.

　　In the Great Yong Dynasty, those who stole 5,000 taels of silver or more were sentenced to death.

　　The Xu family also thought about the East Window incident suing the Su family, but the secret recipe that has not been filed is not protected by the law, and then they can only eat dumb losses, even if they clash with them, the Xu family is not afraid, they have agreed with the owner of the flower building, and will help deal with the follow-up trouble.

　　But now, the theft of money charged by the Su family was still enough to kill a huge amount, Xu Yuanzhong clutched the edge of the table, gritted his teeth, and said: "For today's plan, we can only go..." The words did not fall, only to see that there were more officers and soldiers who came to praise the song rushed in, led by another headhunter.

　　"The county grand master has an order, arrest you into the county court, no one should want to leave!"

　　Xu Yuanzhong: "..."It's over!

　　County.

　　When Xu Yingying was brought into the lobby, everyone in the Su family was already present.

　　"My lord, this is how things happened, the Xu family used the in-laws to instruct their daughter to come to my house to steal."

　　In the hall, Su Yanzhi bent down slightly and spoke clearly and methodically, saying things from beginning to end.

　　"Snap!" With a loud bang, the shocked Hall Wood made a shocking sound, and Xu Yingying's kneeling body suddenly trembled.

　　Zhao Xianling drank, "Xu Yingying, if you get the stolen goods, quickly tell the conspiracy in your family in detail, if there is concealment, it will not spare you!" ”

　　Xu Yingying, who had seen such a battle, was immediately frightened like an earth-colored body trembling like chaff and could not say a word.

　　Brushing his beard, Zhao Xianling said, "Bring all the Xu family members up." ”

　　Xu Yuanzhong's Gao clan and two sons were taken to the lobby, and the Xu family brothers had already married their wives but had all been separated from them because of the brothers' absurdity, and had long left the Xu family.

　　"Come on, give me Xu Yuanzhong twenty big boards!" As soon as he came up, Zhao Xianling took Xu Yuanzhong and opened the knife.

　　The sound of cracking the floor sounded, Xu Yuanzhong's painful cries echoed in the lobby, the Su family looked at it coldly, Qiao Yue squeezed Liu's hand, and the unhappiness in his heart dissipated slightly.

　　"The main criminal, Xu Yingying, is not quick to tell the cause and effect of the matter carefully, otherwise the punishment will be served!" Zhao Xianling's remake of the shocked Tangmu frightened several members of the Xu family.

　　"Whoops, my lord, I say, I say!" Xu Yingying saw that her father had been soaked with twenty large plates of blood soaked in his clothes, and the person also passed out with a miserable face, and immediately knelt on the ground and said everything out.

　　It was only when she said that she was going to steal the tofu square, But Su Yanzhi and others insisted that she was lying, and her purpose was to steal the silver ticket.

　　Zhao Xianling nodded, when Yang Yutou led people forward, he was stolen and obtained, and he did not see the real tofu Fangzi in the stolen goods, he believed that Xu Yingying was lying, and immediately ordered people to weigh her twenty large plates.

　　Pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, the two brothers of the Xu family also exposed the killing of the flower girl, and immediately brought the people in the flower building over for questioning.

　　One corpse and two lives, the death was miserable, the owner of the flower building saw that the money could not be returned, so he pushed all the matter on the Xu family brothers, saying that they forged the cause of death of the flower girl and wanted to take the money to eliminate the disaster.

　　The owner of the flower building is cunning like a fox, no one in the wind and moon field has ever fought, and under the lotus flower, he has pushed the things on his body clean.

　　A quarter of an hour later, the county grand master pronounced a verdict, Xu Yingying was the mastermind of the theft and the amount of money was sentenced to three days later, the Xu family conspired the most, Xu Yuanzhong and gao were sentenced to thirty years in prison, the two brothers of the Xu family killed people, and the same sentence was three days later.

　　It happened quickly, and when the news reached Akiyama Village, it was already a year later.

45. Chapter 45...

　　In the first month, the Su family found a good weather, and the Su family tofu factory in the county officially opened.

　　"Crackle!" Su Erlang bought several strings of firecrackers and tofu shops at the door of the lively no, the streets and alleys are all to see the liveliness.

　　Compared with last year's stalls, this year I bought the next door, and the place has suddenly expanded, except that there is no place to live, and the whole process of making tofu can be completed here.

　　"Miss Joe, congratulations!"

　　"Congratulations, it's amazing that my sister is doing the club at such a young age."

　　Boss Sun and Lady Zhang both came to hexi with firecrackers, and Qiao Yue went forward to pick up something and handed it to Su Erlang, smiling and inviting people to the back room, "Please come in for a cup of tea, thanks to the care of Boss Sun and Sister Zhang on weekdays."

　　Entering the house, Liu Shi carried a teapot to make tea for the two of them, and then went out and called Su Yanzhi to come and sit and talk.

　　Neighbors who came to celebrate the joy were all sitting in the house drinking tea at this time, and Zhao and the second lady were busy pouring tea and snacks for everyone without sticking to their feet.

　　"Boss, bring me a piece of tofu!"

　　At the door, a big man in an apron shouted heartily, and Liu Shi stood in front of the tofu stall and sighed, took the plate in the hand of the big man and took a piece of tofu for him.

　　The big man was about to pay, but he was stopped by Liu Shi, "Boss Li, this tofu is not charged today, you just take it."

　　Liu Shi smiled and squinted, she recognized that this big man was what Qiao Yue pointed out to her, the owner of the street meat seller, Qiao Yue bought meat at his house, bought more times, the shop owner often gave her a little big bone pig into the water or something, the relationship with the Su family was good after a long time.

　　Boss Li laughed and said, "Be well, today is the joy of your family's opening, I will not resign." ”

　　Liu Shi smiled and answered, letting him enter the house for a cup of tea.

　　Inside the house, Qiao Yue put the prepared soy products in the basket, opened the curtain and walked in, laughing and saying: "Sister Zhang, Boss Sun, this is my little heart, please accept it." ”

　　The two of them stood up and thanked each other, and Qiao Yue sat down and said, "I would like to thank you very much for your help in that matter before." ”

　　"Wherever, just raise your hand, Aunt Qiao doesn't have to pay attention to it, she didn't expect that this Xu family would do such a disgraceful thing."

　　Qiao Yue nodded, the five thousand taels of silver tickets in the box that Xu Yingying stole from their house before were not Qiao Yue's, but she borrowed them from Zhang Niangzi and Boss Sun.

　　Saying that this Qiao Yue was quite touched in her heart, such a high amount of silver tickets, they would actually agree to lend her, which she did not expect before she went to borrow them.

　　Boss Sun took a sip of tea and sighed, "This Xu family used to be a family that could be called a number in the county, but I didn't expect to lose at the hands of his two sons." ”

　　Many years ago, when the old lady of the Xu family was young, she started from scratch in Hong'an County from a small street vendor to a big restaurant step by step, and the hardships can be imagined, but I did not expect that after a hundred years, the family property would be lost, and even the descendants of the Xu family were imprisoned.

　　Zhang Niangzi also showed regret on her face, Xu Yingying she knew, she had bought a lot of things in Fangrong Pavilion, the girl had a good appearance, she would do such an abominable thing as cheating on marriage and stealing, and finally it was also a bad consequence of self-inflicted, hoping that she could be a good person in the next life.

　　Not long after, all the people who came to the door to congratulate him left.

　　Qiao Yue and the others cleaned up the melon seed peels on the ground on the table, and Zhao Shi and Yunniang outside the house were also busy, and today it was the opening and firecrackers. There are many people watching the liveliness, and there are many people who buy it, but in half a day, the tofu and other things that used to be sold out all day have been sold out.

　　"Grandma Liu." A clear voice sounded, and Liu Shi, who was greeting guests outside the door, looked up and saw Zhou Qin carrying a basket and his mother Hong Shi walking over.

　　"Go inside and sit down, I'll call Sanro." Liu Shi smiled and invited the two into the house, and turned to call Su Yanzhi and Qiao Yue.

　　"Brother Zhou, son-in-law." Su Yanzhi saw that his friends specially came to the door to congratulate him, and his expression was also very happy, so he greeted each other and sat down to chat.

　　There are female guests, Liu Shi and Qiao Yue sat with them to talk, they are acquaintances, and they talk harmoniously.

　　Hong Shi took Qiao Yue's hand, and her face showed joy, and she said to Liu Shi: "Big Lady, today we came to the door, first, to congratulate you on opening, and second, to thank you." ”

　　She pointed to the new clothes she was wearing and said, "This is all bought with money from the methods that Xiaoyue taught me, my family has always been poor, thanks to Xiaoyue helping me teach me to do business and make money." ”

　　She was sincerely thankful, since she set up a stall to sell mixed grain pancakes, the life of the family has improved a lot, and now she has an income of nearly a hundred yuan a day, and she is almost making one or two silver a month, which she did not dare to think about before.

　　Now the family has eaten good rice and white noodles, even the meat has eaten a meal every three to five, Zhou Qin's original thin even cheeks have sunk down, and after half a year, the naked eye can see the strength.

　　There is money in the hand, there is no panic in the heart, there is no worry about silver in the hand, the food in the family is good, not to say, there is still money to make clothes, although it is not a good material, but this year the whole family has also done it.

　　Qiao Yue said, "Wherever the aunt said, I was just a little busy." ”

　　Liu Shi also said: "Lady Hong is polite, your family Zhou Qin and my family Sanlang are friends in the same window, last summer Sanlang was disturbed in your house, thanks to the care of your husband and wife, I am also very grateful in my heart." ”

　　"Big lady, you're welcome." The two exchanged polite words, and Liu invited the two to have dinner at the shop at noon.

　　Joe's house.

　　"Cough, cough, cough!"

　　Qiao Dazhu was lying on the bed, a sharp cough as if to cough out all his lungs, and his pale and thin face was out of shape.

　　Wang Clan heard his son's cough and rushed in, "Dazhu, is it better?" She lifted her son up and leaned against the head of the bed, gently patting his back, looking at the sweaty and panting appearance of his son's forehead, she was in pain.

　　"The second family, don't bring the medicine in yet, where will you die for such a long time?" She turned her head and roared out the door, and a young woman in a blue dress walked in with medicine, her eyebrows full of hidden anger.

　　"Mother, the aunt next door asked me to teach her to draw patterns, and I only walked for a little while." She pursed her lips and spoke in a grievous tone.

　　Wang Shi stared at her, "Do you dare to talk back to the elders, is that how you talk to your mother at home?" No rules at all! ”

　　The younger daughter-in-law He Shi was the Qiao family who arrived last year, because of that incident, the Wang clan realized that the younger son was indebted to the eldest son, so he asked him to quickly marry someone back to take care of Qiao Dazhu.

　　On the one hand, it is to take care of the eldest son, and on the other hand, it is because the Qiao family is now in short supply of money.

　　Ever since Qiao Dazhu was hit by the board, this body was completely collapsed, and it was not said that it was sick all day long, and this medicine could not be broken.

　　Because the wound is the heart, this medicine is very expensive, a month to use more than one or two silver, this half a year, the Qiao family has saved a lot of silver for so many years, and then to the younger son to marry the daughter-in-law this silver will all be spent.

　　However, the conditions in the family of the daughter-in-law He Shi are good, there are many good fields in the family, and her parents are healthy and have done a little business of mountain goods.

　　Speaking of Qiao Dashan can marry the He family oh is really fate, Qiao Dashan's appearance inherited the Wang family, looks like a table of talents, if you pretend to be really able to charm some big girls.

　　As the only daughter of the He family, He Shi was taught by his parents since childhood, and on weekdays, the gate did not come out only to learn embroidery and make shoes at home, and when the two met during a market, He Shi was immediately attracted by Qiao Dashan, who was specially dressed in a neat and clean outfit to prepare to fish for girls.

　　The He family was a little far away from their village, so they didn't know what happened to the Qiao family, and Qiao Dashan saw that the He family was interested in himself, and he became more and more pretentious, and even deceived the He family and his wife, and successfully settled on the family.

　　In order to marry such a good daughter-in-law, the Qiao family tried their best to send thick gifts and dowries, but the Wang family cried that there was a very poor eldest son in the family to take care of, hoping that the He family could agree, and the meaning between the words was vague and needed the help of the daughter-in-law to take care of it.

　　Seeing that the Qiao family was sincere and could not make a mistake in attitude and gift money, the He family agreed to form an in-law.

　　He Shi was reprimanded by her mother-in-law, her face was difficult to see, she got along well with her parents at home, and her mother never yelled at Wang Shi, and she collapsed her face when she was a little unhappy.

　　Her heart was wronged, her eyes were red, she wanted to refute but she took care of Qiao Dashan, she didn't want to make it difficult for her husband, and she knew that this daughter-in-law had been difficult to do since ancient times, so she put up with it.

　　Wang Shi waited for his son to finish drinking the medicine, wiped him, and then helped him lie down, the two walked to the door, Wang Shi said: "Your eldest brother's medicine is gone, you will go to the medicine shop in a while." ”

　　She put the bowl in He Shi's hand, "Oh, yes, remember to grab a little more, the province's running back and forth, soon it will be spring planting, but it will be very busy." ”

　　He Shi didn't say a word, and saw her walking outside the door, so he carefully said, "Mother, you haven't given me medicine money yet." She said carefully, with a smile on her face, not thinking that Wang Shi looked back and scolded: "Give your eldest brother a side medicine and find the old lady medicine money, no!" ”

　　He Shi's face suddenly froze, and she said with red circles in her eyes: "Mother, the daughter-in-law has no silver, and Dashan has not returned with money this month." ”

　　Wang Clan sighed, and in his heart, Wang Clan really showed his true face, and when he first came to the house before, he also said that he would take good care of his eldest son with his younger son, it had only been a few months, and now he was not even willing to buy medicine.

　　"Anyway, I don't have any money, Dazhu's medicine will definitely be drunk, he got this disease to save Dashan, you can't be that ungrateful white-eyed wolf."

　　After speaking, Wang Shi snorted coldly and turned away.

　　In the evening, He Shi was full of worries and poked the man lying next to him, "Dashan, Niang asked me to go to the eldest brother today to grab medicine." ”

　　"Well, did you catch it?" Qiao Dashan was tired after a day's work and replied vaguely.

　　He Shi said, "No, my mother didn't give me silver, what did I use to buy it?" ”

　　Qiao Dashan heard the words, and his mind woke up, he turned his head to look at He Shi, "If your mother didn't give you silver, you didn't grab medicine for the eldest brother?" Do you want to kill Big Brother? ”

46. Chapter 46 Supplement No. 16

　　He Shi was stunned for a moment, stood up, looked at the man next to him, and said incredulously, "I want to kill the eldest brother?" Qiao Dashan, to be a person to talk about conscience, I married in for such a long time, every time my mother said that I was going to buy medicine, it was my own silver. “

　　He Shi was full of grievances, she had been married for such a long time, the mother-in-law had always said that the eldest brother was injured so badly because of her husband, and Qiao Dashan also said that it was so, He Shi felt that he and Qiao Dashan were one and the same, and she was also obliged to help with the eldest brother's injury, so when the Wang clan let her go to grab the medicine, she always took the dowry silver without saying a word.

　　She felt that she was helping, but after a few months, she felt that her mother-in-law had completely lost all the responsibility of taking care of Qiao Dazhu to her, she not only had to spend money to catch medicine, boiling medicine was also what she did, three meals a day, but also at any time to respond to Qiao Dazhu's shouts, the day before yesterday she said she wanted to go back to her mother's house, but she was rejected by her mother-in-law, saying that now the weather is warm, the wild vegetables in the field have grown, and she wants to go out to dig wild vegetables, and there can be no one in the family.

　　She realized that she had done enough, taking care of a sick person, washing and cooking at home, and cleaning were all hers, and she was more tired than work at the end of the day.

　　Listening to her husband say this now, her tears finally couldn't be contained.

　　Qiao Dashan was told this by her, and he suddenly felt that his face could not pass, and He Shi's meek personality had never been loud to him like this. Qiao Dashan sat up and said, "Just casually, what are you crying, I am tired for a day, you still have to quarrel with me, how much silver does the eldest brother need to drink some medicine, why are you so stingy?" ”

　　Ho's tears rippled, "Am I stingy? He Shi wiped his tears, "Since marrying into your family, it has cost me nearly ten taels of silver before and after, didn't you say this to my heart?" Whining. ”

　　He Shi cried sadly, she did not expect that she paid for it but did not ask for it at all, and she also had a reputation of miserliness.

　　Qiao Dazhu was a little impatient, he was tired of carrying the tree for a day in the mountain field, and now he saw her crying and crying and only feeling full of irritability.

　　"Well, isn't it just such a small thing, most of the night will not let me rest." Qiao Dazhu didn't want to say anything to her anymore, he just wanted to sleep.

　　He Shi suddenly felt cold, "Anyway, I won't buy medicine again without taking the silver." ”

　　Qiao Dazhu narrowed his eyes, "You dare! ”

　　He Shi's temper also came up, and she had never suffered such a grievance at home. She knew that it was not so easy to be a wife and daughter-in-law, and she had to be wronged, and her mother had told her before she married, and she was also mentally prepared.

　　In the past few months, she had been relatively comfortable in Joe's house, but she suddenly understood that the comfort she thought was based on her own money to support her family.

　　She is the only daughter in the family, the dowry given by the Qiao family was rich, and in order to make her feel confident in the in-laws' family in the future, the mother-in-law bought all the dowry she received as a dowry, and gave herself twenty-two silver as the bottom of the dowry box.

　　After coming to Qiao's house for a few months, it has already cost ten or two, you know, ordinary people can have one or two pieces of silver a month, and their lives can be very good.

　　Ignoring Qiao Dazhu's anger, He Shi slipped into the bed and slept.

　　At noon the next day, He Shi had just finished cooking, chopping chicken vegetables in the courtyard, Wang Shi came back from work, walked into the eldest son's room, and came out a moment later and frowned: "Why hasn't the boss drunk medicine at noon?" ”

　　He Shi made a move: "There is no silver to buy." ”

　　Wang Clan said angrily, "What! You didn't even go to catch the medicine? The boss's medicine can't be broken for a day, what kind of heart do you have? ”

　　He Shi put down his hand and said coldly, "When your family first came to the door to propose to you, you didn't say that I was responsible for all the big brother." “

　　Wang Shi was stunned for a moment, this was the first time that the daughter-in-law had confronted herself, and her heart was suddenly unhappy, "I didn't think that you were such a character, and you actually learned to talk back to the elders!" ”

　　He Shi did not say a word, Wang Clan crossed his waist, "The boss is also injured so badly because of the second eldest, you are now his wife, you should take care of the boss." ”

　　He Shi asked, "What happened to the eldest brother's injury?" The Qiao family has always stressed that Qiao Dazhu's injury was due to his brother, but he has never said what the reason is.

　　Upon hearing her ask this, Wang Shi stopped talking, and the scene of embarrassment and bad luck passed in front of her eyes, her face twitched a few times, and she said darkly: "Are you going to settle accounts with the boss?" ”

　　"I didn't." He Shi saw that she refused to say, there was a problem in her intuition, originally their family did not want to expose people's scars, so they did not ask in detail, and now it seems that they have to ask clearly.

　　The atmosphere gradually stiffened, when Qiao Dashan walked in from outside the courtyard, he saw the two of them fighting with swords, and as soon as Wang Shi saw his younger son's face change, tears immediately rolled down, "Dashan, this is how your wife confronted the elders, I spent money to marry your daughter-in-law, and now I have to be angry, how do I live!" ”

　　She tearfully accused He Shi of taking advantage of his absence to respect himself, not only not boiling medicine for the boss, but also breaking old accounts with her.

　　He Shi was stunned to watch her mother-in-law perform, and it took her so long to see the true face of her mother-in-law after marrying in.

　　Qiao Dashan listened to it because he did not grab medicine for the eldest brother, looking at the old woman who grabbed her clothes and cried, she was talking about why the eldest brother was beaten again, originally he had guilt in this matter, and now he could only listen dumbly, feeling depressed in his heart, so he yelled at He Shi: "I can't apologize to my mother!" ”

　　He Shi was frightened, and a mist of water appeared in his eyes, and a kitchen knife was thrown on the ground with a cry, "I'm not wrong, why apologize!" I want to go home! After the roar, he immediately ran into the room.

　　.......

　　Seeing that his daughter-in-law was so tough, Wang Shi was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, and he looked at the door that was thrown up and listened to the cries coming from inside.

　　Qiao Dashan's face was gloomy, Wang's heart was pounding, and he snorted, "Your eldest brother hasn't drunk medicine until now." ”

　　After taking a look at his mother, Qiao Dashan suddenly laughed, "Mother, I remember that you were the default big brother who carried everything, why is it all blamed on me now?" ”

　　He was also very unhappy, his eyes were darkly staring at the big brother's room, there was a coughing sound from time to time, he had had enough, for half a year he had been nagged by his mother, the big brother was so seriously injured for him, he must take good care of the big brother.

　　After listening to it more, Qiao Dashan couldn't help but feel bored.

　　Wang's face turned pale, "How do you say this about Niang, Niang is also for our family, and she had to let your eldest brother carry it down." ”

　　Qiao Father's health has not been very good, can only help the villagers to do some odd jobs to earn some copper plates, if the two sons are in trouble, the family will collapse, she is also unable to acquiesce, did not expect the younger son to stab her in the heart.

　　Qiao Dashan said impatiently: "Since the mother is for the good of this family, then she should always endure it, and the family is not without silver to catch medicine for the eldest brother, do you have to quarrel with the family?" ”

　　He pointed to the room and said, "Ruyun looks like this, if you run home, you may not be sure what will happen to you, how will our family explain it when the time comes?" ”

　　Wang's face was said by his son, and he ruyun was secretly scolded in his heart, today's events are all because of her, their family has spent all their family property in order to marry her, even if there is silver to catch medicine for the eldest son, the medicine that the eldest son eats is expensive.

　　She knew that He Shi had brought a lot of dowry when she married, but she didn't expect that she would be so stingy and so firmly rejected.

　　Wang Shi told the situation in the family with a bitter face, indicating that he really did not have any silver at all.

　　Qiao Dashan frowned, "I know, I'll go and persuade Ruyun in a moment." ”

　　Unexpectedly, He Ruyun's temperament came up and did not pay any attention to Qiao Dashan at all.

　　The next day, Qiao's family went to work, and He Ruyun ran to the village to inquire about what happened to Qiao's family.

　　It is not that she does not inquire at the left and right neighbors, but the left and right neighbors do not talk to their families, and occasionally bump into her is also not a good face for her, listening to the mother-in-law Wang Clan said that they have quarreled before, so they do not speak.

　　"Lady Zhang, wait a minute." He Ruyun walked to a vegetable field, saw Zhang Da niang of the needle and thread shop at the head of the village walking back with a basket, and hurriedly stopped her.

　　"Isn't this Joe's family?" Can I help you? Zhang Da Niang stopped and asked.

　　He Ruyun walked quickly to her side and asked, "Big Lady, do you know that my eldest brother is Qiao Dazhu, how did he get hurt?" ”

　　Zhang Da Niang looked at her in surprise, not expecting her to ask this, "Why do you ask me, your family knows best." ”

　　She looked at He Ruyun, saw that she looked a little wrong, and guessed that it should be a quarrel, since the Qiao family did not explain to He Shi that it must not be said.

　　You remember that before, there were people in the village who wanted to sabotage Qiao Dashan's marriage, but they were chased by wang clan with kitchen knives. In this way, she didn't want to say more so as not to heat up the difficult Wang Clan, just about to leave, He Ruyun grabbed her.

　　"Big mother, please tell me, my mother-in-law has always said that the eldest brother's injury is because of my husband, let me take full care of it, and give the eldest brother medicine to feed and scrub every day." She said that her face was already full of tears, "Although I am a family, but I am his sister-in-law after all, how can I do these things, only a few words, I was scolded." ”

　　"The Wang clan actually did this to you!" Zhang Da Niang was surprised, but when she thought about it carefully, she felt that it was not strange that the Qiao family was not exquisite in its work, and the Wang family was not a good product.

　　Seeing her crying sadly, Zhang Da Niang sighed, took her arm and said, "Lady He, it's not that I don't say it, if your mother-in-law knows that I said it, I'm just afraid to find the door and make trouble."

　　She groaned and said, "There is also a family who knows this matter best, you go to the county to find the Su family tofu factory, the little daughter of that family was originally the biological daughter of your mother-in-law, they know this matter very well." ”

　　"Sujia Tofu Factory?" He Shi murmured a word, thanked him, turned around and ran to the head of the village.

　　On the other side, the academy left classes early today, and Zhou Qin and Su Yanzhi came out side by side.

　　The two were walking on the road, and when they passed the three forks, they saw that Zhou Qin was still following him, Su Yan said, "Where are you going?" ”

　　Zhou Qin smiled and said, "Go to your house to buy tofu." ”

　　Su Yanzhi frowned, this time he did not run to the tofu factory, it was the spring planting, every household was busy, most of the people and students in the academy were poor at home, and they had to go home to help during the busy season, so if the number of people who took leave that day was large, the academy would leave class early.

　　And Zhou Qin, every time he will follow himself to the tofu factory at home to buy tofu, sometimes there are more stays at home to chat, Zhou Qin will come to life, even with the second brother and sister-in-law can also chat about the sky, but also to help their mother to lay hands, that hot like a family.

47. Chapter 47 Supplement No. 17

　　Su Yanzhi looked at him suspiciously, "You've bought ten rounds of tofu in less than a month, haven't you eaten it?"

　　Zhou Qin smiled, "Not greasy, not greasy, our family all love to eat, Uncle Niu is old and has bad teeth and loves to eat tofu, let me bring it to him when I have time." ”

　　His eyes rolled, remembering what his mother had said to him, and his heart moved tentatively and asked, "Brother Su, Yang Ting of our academy was betrothed a few days ago." ”

　　Su Yanzhi looked at him with a "hmm", Zhou Qin touched his nose, and jokingly said, "Yanzhi you are a talent, but I heard that there are many girls in the vicinity of our academy who are interested in you." ”

　　This is true, Su Yanzhi looks handsome, modest and courteous, almost no red face between him and the same window on weekdays, there are indeed many girls near the academy secretly inquiring about him, especially after learning of Su Yanzhi's achievements in the academy, some of the girl's family members directly found the academy to see Su Yanzhi and wanted to marry.

　　Su Yanzhi turned his face to the plate and glanced at Zhou Qin, "Now is the time when it is important, and it is only right for readers to take the meritorious examination first and then talk about marriage."

　　He was now preoccupied with preparing for Qiu Min, and he still had time to pay attention to his children's private feelings.

　　Zhou Qin was overjoyed in his heart, his face was not revealed at all, and kicked the small stones on the road, "A few days ago I went to your house to buy tofu, and I saw that Aunt Zhao was pulling Xiaoyue sister to talk, and she liked her appearance very much, and said that if there was a daughter like her, she said something like that." ”

　　Su Yanzhi frowned, "My sister is smart and good-looking, and it's normal for people to like it." "Since Qiao Yue used the medicine of the divine doctor, the birthmark on her face has faded a lot, and I can't see it at all without getting close, so long at home, my skin is white, and people have grown a lot, especially she does things and talks safely, there is no childish jump of girls of the same age, and the neighbors around her like her very much."

　　Zhou Qin was speechless, he felt that Su Yanzhi was a little too dead-headed, and this cleverness in reading was not used in life at all.

　　"The eldest son of Aunt Zhao's family is just seventeen this year, and I heard that Aunt Zhao is giving him a family affair."

　　"You mean..." Su Yanzhi paused, his face a little ugly, "Xiao Yue is only thirteen this year, and she is still a child." ”

　　"Not small, my cousin has only fifteen children this year." Zhou Qin observed his expression and said, "Didn't you notice that during this time, many men went to your house to buy tofu?" ”

　　Zhou Qin has always kept his heart, since the Su family tofu factory has gained a firm foothold in the county, others know that this tofu craft is from Qiao Yue, these people have moved their minds, but the sons of the right age in the family have all been sent to buy tofu mixed face.

　　He could see clearly that only Su Yanzhi had only reading in his mind, and he had never paid any attention to these things.

　　"How can you be so clear?" Su Yanzhi thought for a moment, it seems that this is really the case, several times he has met the little sister and laughed with people, originally thought it was just ordinary small talk with customers, did not expect those people to hide this thought.

　　In the end it was a smart person, Zhou Qin said so much, he also sensed that something was wrong, he looked at Zhou Qin suspiciously.

　　Zhou Qin sweated nervously in his palms, although Qiao Yue was Su Yanzhi's sister, she was not her own child in the end, and such an excellent girl could not guarantee that Su Yanzhi also liked it.

　　Although he was interested in Qiao Yue, he did not dare to say it hastily, if Su Yanzhi really liked Qiao Yue, there would definitely be some embarrassment between his brothers in this way, he regarded Su Yanzhi as a family member, and he was most reluctant to make trouble with him.

　　Zhou Qin really took Qiao Yue as a sister at the beginning, but a few years ago Hong told him that he wanted Qiao Yue to be his daughter-in-law, and how much his mother liked Qiao Yue, he knew, and for three days, he was at home at home to chant Qiao Yue's goodness, saying that both of them knew the roots, he and Su Yanzhi were the same window, and if they married his sister, they were also close to each other.

　　Zhou Qin's mind was also moved by his mother, and he felt that it would be a very good thing to marry Qiao Yue as a wife, but he and Su Yanzhi thought the same, and wanted to talk about marriage matters after taking the meritorious name, and more importantly, it was because of Su Yanzhi.

　　Although Su Yanzhi has always emphasized that Qiao Yue is his sister, But Zhou Qin still found a different place, Su Yanzhi from the beginning of the cold to Qiao Yue will now buy gadgets to make her happy, Qiao Yue likes to eat maltose, Su Yanzhi often buys and takes it back.

　　In the past, Su Yanzhi never mentioned Qiao Yue, as if he didn't have this sister, now he hung on his mouth at every turn, what she made today, what she made today, which rice paper he bought, he was reluctant to use.

　　Even the book basket he was carrying now was very carefully cared for on weekdays, and yesterday he was kicked down by the chasers and fights in the academy, and he checked it very painfully.

　　There are many so and so, all of which are changes that Su Yanzhi has inadvertently changed, and he now has more smiles, and there is always one sentence in ten sentences that says Qiao Yue.

　　Zhou Qin was also precisely because of this, not sure whether Su Yanzhi liked Qiao Yue or really regarded her as his own sister.

　　Seeing Su Yanzhi looking at himself, Zhou Qin smiled and said, "Of course, because I have always regarded Qiao Yue as my sister, and besides, this man can see through the girl's thoughts at a glance, I don't believe it, you should pay more attention to it after you go back." ”

　　After saying that, he touched Su Yanzhi with his elbow, "Sister Xiaoyue is good-looking and clever, you have to watch tightly." ”

　　Su Yanzhi's face was serious, and he didn't understand the meaning of his words, "I know." ”

　　The two of them walked to the tofu factory while talking, but they saw that the front of the shop was full of people, and they looked at each other and quickly squeezed into the crowd.

　　"Liu Xiu! What did you say to my daughter-in-law! Are you stirring up dissension inside, if my daughter-in-law runs away, I will not finish with you! ”

　　Qiao Mu Wang stood at the door of the tofu factory with her waist crossed, the ground was in a mess, the tofu stall was overturned on the ground, and the white flower tofu was trampled like mud. Several members of the Su family stood in the doorway with an iron face, their eyes glaring at the Wang family with fire.

　　"Wang Guimei, what madness are you running around?" Liu Shi was distressed by the bad tofu, rushed over and scolded: "Only then did your daughter-in-law come and ask, we are just telling the truth, what pot are you holding!" ”

　　Wang Clan snorted coldly, "You are admitting to provoking trouble inside, only when my daughter-in-law went home to live and die to be with my son, it turned out that your family was making trouble inside with a black heart, I yawn!" ”

　　Wang Clan took a bite, and his heart was very annoyed, the reason why the two of them had caused a human life, usually they would not mention it in the village, and there was a bald purr that did not have a long heart, she found the door and scolded it, so that the matter was hidden, and it would not spoil the affair with the He family.

　　Did not think, today the daughter-in-law disappeared for half a day, the first sentence when entering the door is to be with the mountain and leave, under the quarrel, she said that the Qiao family brothers colluded to kill people to marry the Su family, Wang asked her how she learned, He Shi bluntly said that she came to the Su family to ask.

　　"It's not enough that your family's big pillar is seriously injured and bedridden, and now it is still provoking my family's house to be restless, it is really faceless!" As soon as the words fell, Wang Shi took a step forward and pushed the soybean milk bucket on the side to the ground, and half of the bucket of soy milk fell to the ground, causing everyone to exclaim.

　　"Stop!" Qiao Yue shouted loudly, and the arrow stepped forward to grab Wang's hand that wanted to push the bean flower bucket, and his eyes were cold, "I dare to throw it in front of my house!" With a single force in his hand, he pushed Wang Shi to the ground.

　　"Ouch! Everyone come to see ah, the daughter is going to kill the old woman, everyone come to judge ah! Wang Shi fell to the ground, and a sharp pain came from the tail vertebrae, and she simply sat on the ground, pointing at Qiao Yue and crying.

　　"Kiss your daughter? What's going on? Isn't this girl a child of the Su family? ”

　　"Oh, you don't know, this girl is the adopted daughter of the Su family, and the one on the ground is her mother-in-law." Some of the people who watch the hilarity are familiar with each other, even if they say it.

　　"Sigh, this mother-in-law has made a mistake, and she can't push it like this, and it's too filial piety."

　　Wang Clan listened to the discussion of the people around him, and his face became more and more proud, "Little slut, you even went down to your mother," the old woman should not have given birth to you in the first place, you hurt your eldest brother and was bedridden for more than half a year, just a little beast!" Wang's scolding was painful, and all the resentment accumulated in the past six months was vented.

　　When Su Yanzhi heard Wang's words, his face was blue with anger, his fists were clenched, and he just wanted to rush up to the theory, only to see his mother Liu Shi rush up and hold Wang's split head and cover his face.

　　"Oops! Oops, kill people! I'm going to kill people! Wang Shi was pressed under her, and for a moment he could not move but cover his head and wail.

　　"Let go, let go, she's your daughter's mother-in-law, how do you lay down your dead hand?"

　　The people who watched the hilarity did not know the inside story, and when they saw Liu Shi going crazy like this, several people came forward and pulled her away.

　　"Mother, you're all right." Qiao Yue and Su Yanzhi and the others saw Liu Shi's eyes being pulled away and quickly stepped forward to help her up.

　　"It's not a good thing for an old slut to raise a little slut, and you have the ability to kill me!" Wang Shi reluctantly stood up and shouted.

　　"You dare to scold my mother!" Can't bear it, Qiao Yue didn't want to worry about the madman, but Wang Shi has been beating on her bottom line, she has a cold face, her face is calm, she went forward to grab Wang s clothes, left and right open the bow "snapped" and threw her four or five mouths.

　　Wang Shi was blinded by this sudden slap, and when he returned to his senses, he only felt a fiery pain on his face.

　　Just as he was about to scold again, he saw Qiao Yue raise his hand again, shrink his head in fear, cover his face and cry, accusing Qiao Yue of committing a great disrespect.

　　In the face of everyone's pointing, Qiao Yue said loudly: "When Wang Guimei left me in the middle of July, and because I had birthmarks on my face, I felt that I was not known, and when I was two months old, I was thrown into the water and wanted to drown me, fortunately, my mother rescued me and brought me back to the Su family to raise me, if it were not for my mother, I was afraid that I would have been eaten clean by what kind of fish and shrimp." ”

　　As soon as everyone heard this, they all fell silent, and Qiao Yue stared at Wang Shi with hatred, pointed at her and said, "She has no nurturing grace for me, and she still wants to kill me, who is already my enemy, and she is still my mother, I am oh, is she worthy?" ”

　　Qiao Yue looked at the frozen Wang family and said, "Last year, my adoptive mother built a new house at home, but my so-called biological brother colluded with the village scoundrels to kill a man, and married my family to blackmail my family for one hundred and two pieces of silver." ”

　　As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and all of them stared at the Wang Clan on the ground in surprise.

　　"Little slut, what nonsense are you talking about!" Wang Shi stared at Qiao Yue viciously.

　　Qiao Yue ignored her and continued, "Fortunately, the wise decision of the county commander made to investigate the matter, and my so-called eldest brother was punished for the crime, which was deserved, and she brazenly blamed us." ”

　　Qiao Yue raised his hand, Dear fathers and fellow countrymen, they cheated on marrying The He family, the girl was forced by her to serve Qiao Dazhu's and urine, and she wanted to leave when she was cornered, this person actually relied on our family, everyone said that her heart was not vicious? ”

　　"Vicious, really vicious."

　　"Marry the daughter-in-law and come back to serve the eldest son, thanks to her ability to do it, the heart is really dark."

　　"It turned out to be so, and what kind of mother-in-law, I yawn, my dog has a cub and knows that it is protected in the nest, and this woman is willing to kill her daughter!"

　　When the crowd learned the truth, they scolded the Wang clan one after another.

　　"Roll! Roll all for me! The matter was thrown to the sky, Wang's face turned black, his eyes were staring as if he was going to eat people, he got up from the ground in a daze, glared at Qiao Yue a few times, and limped away.

48. Chapter 48...

　　In Joe's house, he didn't please well, and when he returned home, he found that his daughter-in-law had packed up her bags and was going out, and was now in the yard with Joe Dashan.

　　Wang Shi rushed in with a scattered head and grabbed He Ruyun, "You can't go, you are my daughter-in-law of the Qiao family, where do you want to go?" ”

　　He Ruyun and Qiao Dashan argued for half a day, and the original sadness and disappointment were all gone, replaced by anger, "Qiao Dashan, your family is cheating on marriage, and what your brothers did really makes me feel ashamed!"

　　Today I went to su's house to get the answer I wanted, and half of the big brother's injury was because of her husband, she didn't understand it, this harmful thing, it was clear that her husband also had a share, but let the unlucky big brother give it all.

　　She shuddered at the thought of the man she slept with and slept with to murder someone to extort money, and she was confused by Qiao Dashan's appearance, he was clearly a dressed beast.

　　Qiao Dashan was also very angry, this matter became like this, blame his mother, if it were not for wang clan taking the eldest brother to hurt himself all day long, she would not have run to the Su family to ask.

　　This matter has long been settled in the village, he bothered to hide this to marry the only daughter of the He family, just a few days ago, the couple saw that he worked hard in the forest farm, and had discussed with him that he hoped that he would follow his husband and wife to learn to do mountain goods business.

　　The He family's mountain goods business is really good, relying on this business family's fields do not need to be planted, directly rented to others.

　　Qiao Dashan thought of this and felt some regret in his heart, he should not have quarreled with He Shi last night, he originally thought that He Shi had married his family and his woman was already a matter of certainty, and when he came back yesterday, his mother complained to him about He Ruyun again, so he would argue with He Ruyun without saying a word.

　　I didn't expect that this woman had such a big temper, and after learning the truth, she would go back to her mother's house, and the meaning of the words was to be with herself and leave!

　　Qiao Dashan endured his temper and persuaded: "The matter has already passed, why do you have to cling to it, you don't want to take care of the eldest brother and I told my mother, don't be so impulsive." ”

　　He Ruyun was about to speak, when the courtyard door was pushed open with a "bang", and Wang Clan ran in with a shawl, the slap mark on his cheeks was very clear, and the clothes on his body were dirty.

　　"Oh mountain!"

　　The two frowned, and Qiao Dashan said, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" Did Sue's family bully you? ”

　　Father Qiao heard his wife's shouting and quickly walked out, and when he saw her look, his face changed drastically, and he angrily said, "The Su family has deceived people too much!" ”

　　Wang Shi was taught a lesson, and her body ached, especially her face, which was hot and swollen, and her tears flowed even more painfully on the wound.

　　Father Qiao quickly hit the well water and came over to give Wang Shi Ice's cheek, and he looked at He Ruyun with a cold face, "Your mother has suffered so much grievance because of what you are looking for!" ”

　　Wang Shi hummed and half closed his eyes, wen yan opened his eyes and stared at He Ruyun angrily, she was injured today because of her, but a good day, but it was necessary to make the family uneasy.

　　He Shi's eyes were red after being accused of this, and tears suddenly flowed down, today's events were obviously self-inflicted, but they all pushed on their heads.

　　"You, you." He Ruyun wiped a handful of tears, looked up at her husband with a gloomy face, pushed him away and ran out.

　　How the Qiao family quarrels here is not related to the Su family's business, the sun rises and the moon sets, they still do their own business, but the Qiao family does not have a long eye to come to the door to say that they want to ask for an explanation for the Wang family, the Su family no longer has a good temper, the three brothers go into battle together, and the Father and Son of the Qiao family are beaten up and their noses are blue and swollen.

　　In this way, Joe's family no longer dared to come to stir.

　　In the blink of an eye, the grass warblers flew, and it was April, when the spring flowers bloomed.

　　The Sujia Tofu Factory hung a wooden sign of 'Closed for Three Days'.

　　At this time is a good time to pick tea leaves, several spring breezes blow tea leaves like seedlings to grow upwards, Su family love and tea, especially in summer, a pot of cold and fragrant tea underwater belly, the whole person is comfortable.

　　So at this time of year, the family has to go up the mountain to pick tea.

　　"Yo, isn't this the Su family's handmaiden, how did it become so good-looking?" When I went to the tea field on the mountain, I met several women in the village, and a woman wearing a turban was very surprised to see Qiao Yue's white and smooth face.

　　"Round aunt, pick tea and go." Qiao Yue smiled generously and greeted him.

　　Several women in the same group also looked at Qiao Yue's face, her previous appearance murakami people know, half of the face is birthmarks, children will be scared to cry when they see it, I don't know when the birthmark on her face disappeared completely, now white and tender look very good.

　　Looking at the little girl's watery appearance, several women's minds were active.

　　The Su family is now famous in the village, the tofu factory in the county is booming, and even the pancake stall business of the Su family boss is booming.

　　The Su family was originally very ordinary in the village, but they did not expect that in just one year's time, their current family foundation was only afraid of being richer than the village chief.

　　Another woman carrying a bamboo basket saw the Su family walking away and whispered, "I heard that last month the Su family bought a big mansion in the county, and the grand location is good." ”

　　"Sigh, the Su family is really lucky to come, look at them, go up the mountain to pick tea leaves and wear new clothes, look at us."

　　The three of them looked down at their clothes, there were four or five patches of all sizes, and the cloth shoes on their feet were all exposed to the fingers.

　　With a sigh, the three of them stared enviously at several members of the Su family, and the thoughts in their hearts came out one by one.

　　"Sister-in-law of the Su family, drink some water, it's too hot this day."

　　The sun was dangling overhead, the foreheads of the sunburners were sweating, and a goose-egg-faced middle-aged woman came carrying a teapot, and her family was the Xia family who lived at the foot of the mountain, and they had to pass by their house when they went up the mountain to pick tea leaves.

　　The Su family goes up the mountain to pick tea leaves every year, and often goes to the Xia family to drink water, so it is very familiar, and Qiao Yue was taken up the mountain by Liu Shi when she was a child to stay

　　Liu Shi handed over the teacup gratefully, "Thank you." "They've brought almost all the water to drink, and it's going to be thirsty."

　　Xia Xushi waved his hand, "What's polite, just drink some boiled water." ”

　　The two sat in the shade of the tree, Xu was looking at Qiao Yue, who was concentrating on picking tea leaves with both hands, and sighed: "Sister-in-law of the Su family, this daughter of your family is really good, the little age is so capable, and listen to your words, and diligently, the old sister-in-law is really blessed." ”

　　Hearing someone praise her daughter, Liu Shi was naturally happy, and she nodded her head with a smile.

　　His eyes rolled, and Xu Shi asked, "Your girl has thirteen this year, right?" ”

　　Liu Shi nodded, "Just turned thirteen." Watching her daughter quickly finish picking a tea tree, she not only sighed: "Thirteen years have passed in the blink of an eye, and she was only a little bit bigger when I brought her back." Liu Shi compared the size of the two people laughed.

　　Xu Shi tentatively asked, "Can you allow someone to do it?" ”

　　Liu Shi smiled and said, "No, she is only thirteen years old and still a child, besides, I also want to keep her for a few more years, even if I want to marry her so early." ”

　　Liu Shi knew in his heart that there were many people who spoke to her during this time, and all the words inside and outside the words were going to Qiao Yue, and there were always people who inquired about marrying her family Sanlang, and now they all focused on Qiao Yue.

　　There are all the walls in the world, and many people in the village learned that such a business of the Su family was when Qiao Yue came up with it, and this mind was active, in their opinion, Qiao Yue was undoubtedly a golden doll who would make money.

　　Especially now that the birthmark on her face has disappeared, the little girl is growing day by day, white and tender like the tender tofu they bought, cute, talking and doing things very thoughtfully, this Qiushan Village is afraid that no little girl is better than her.

　　If you can marry such a daughter-in-law, then the second half of your life is probably only spent.

　　Of course, they also knew that the current Su family was not easy to climb, so those who had the intention of marrying relatives went around looking for people who were familiar with the Su family to inquire.

　　Xu Shi also came today because of a nephew of his mother's family, and now when he heard Su Shi say this, he also understood a few points in his heart, and the unspoken words were completely swallowed back into his stomach, and he immediately changed the topic and said something else.

　　They were happy on this side, but Su Yanzhi, who was picking tea leaves, was a little absent-minded, his eyes drifted to Qiao Yue from time to time, he had just been paying attention to his mother and xu family aunt's side, and when he saw them laughing and still staring at Qiao Yue, he felt something was not good.

　　Su Erlang next to him saw his brother wandering, "Sanlang, look at the tea leaves you picked." ”

　　Su Yanzhi looked down, carried several handfuls of old leaves that he had picked up, and quickly picked them out.

　　"Sanro, what do you think?" So fascinating. Su Erlang asked.

　　After Su Yanzhi cleaned up the old leaves, his face was a little uneasy, "Second brother, do you say that your mother wants to give the little sister a home?" ”

　　Su Erlang was stunned, "No, the little sister is still a child, besides, the mother must be reluctant to give the little sister a family so early." ”

　　"That's what it says." Su Yanzhi nodded deeply, he knew very well that his mother's importance to his little sister must have been too much for him.

　　"However, this man should marry the big woman, the little sister is good-looking and smart, and there are definitely many people who like her, even if they can't get married now, it is still okay to settle down."

　　Su Dalang is now also proud to have such a sister, he sighed and said: "When the little sister was a child, she always followed me and my second brother around, like a small bean sprout, and now she has grown into a big girl." ”

　　Su Erlang nodded in agreement, remembering Qiao Yue's appearance when she was a child, and couldn't help but laugh.

　　Su Yanzhi does not like to listen to this, after getting along for more than half a year, he has taken Qiao Yue as his own sister, this sister is gentle and cute, and will make very delicious things for him to eat, he has not enjoyed the addiction of being a brother, and he feels unhappy at the thought that the little sister will soon be like this to another man.

　　At the moment, his face became difficult to see, and he snorted: "What good are those teenagers in our village, they are not worthy of the little sister at all." ”

　　Su Dalang thought about it and felt that it was reasonable, the young people of the right age in the village were all farming at home, there was no skill, if the little sister married in the past, it was estimated that she would be needed to support a large family.

　　With the current conditions of their family, the little sister is married to the young master's son.

　　Su Dalang and their brothers naturally feel that their little sister is the best, and the future marriage must be said to be a good family with four corners.

　　Thinking like this, after several people returned home, they put the things in their hands and pulled Liu Shi into the house, they wanted to talk to their mother well, but they could not casually agree to the marriage of the little sister.

49. Chapter 49...

　　Soon, Autumn Moon will arrive.

　　This was the biggest thing for the Su family, early in the morning, Liu Shi got up and made a super luxurious old hen soup noodle for Su Yanzhi to eat, and then drank Qiao Yue and sent him to the door of the academy.

　　This year, there were many talents who went to Minzhou to take the exam, and the college organized a carriage and horse to take the students to the Minzhou examination hall.

　　Hong'an County is some distance away from Minzhou, and the dean and others are going to leave two days in advance, when the outside of the academy is full of horse-drawn carriages, and one after another some people send their own shows to come.

　　"Mother, you and your little sister should go back."

　　Su Yanzhi stood outside the carriage carrying baggage.

　　Liu Shi was a little nervous, "Sanlang, can you bring everything with you?" Did your mother bring your blanket last night? "There are three exams in total, three days each, counting down to stay in it for ten days, although the temperature is high in the summer, but the night is still a little cold, Liu Shi made a short rabbit hair blanket a few months ago, just waiting for this time to use."

　　Liu Shi had been saying this since yesterday, and it was repeated and repeated, and he was even more nervous than Su Yanzhi, who rushed to take the exam.

　　Su Yanzhi smiled helplessly, "Mother, I have brought it with me, and I have quilts and other things in the temple." ”

　　Liu Shi frowned: "Those are perfunctory things, there is no use at all, or the blanket made by the mother is warm, this weather is not accurate, if it rains, the cold is heavier, this blanket is also very good for legs." ”

　　"I see, ma'am."

　　While talking, Zhou Qin also ran over with his baggage.

　　"Big Lady, Little Moon Sister."

　　Zhou Qin said hello, "You guys are so early, I almost went to bed late." He scratched his hair and scratched his head a little messy, he was also big-hearted, and he slept as well as usual, and if it wasn't for Hong's call, he didn't know when he would sleep.

　　Qiao Yue smiled and said, "It seems that the eldest brother of this exam week must be very sure, so he can sleep at ease." ”

　　"Sister, don't laugh at me." Zhou Qin said awkwardly.

　　Qiao Yue smiled and took out an object from the bag he carried and handed it to Zhou Qin, "Brother Zhou, this is the knee pad I made for you, and you take the spare." ”

　　"For me!" Zhou Qin cried out in surprise and took it with joy, this knee pad was sewn from sheepskin, and it was covered with gray rabbit hair, which was smooth and soft to the touch.

　　Zhou Qin touched it lovingly, "Thank you Sister Xiaoyue." ”

　　"Brother Zhou, you're welcome."

　　Seeing the two talking and laughing, Su Yanzhi's heart suddenly rose sour, "Little sister, why don't I have knee pads?" ”

　　Qiao Yue turned her head and pointed to his baggage, "The blanket that my mother made for you is big and good, and it can be used as a small quilt and a knee pad, so I didn't do it." ”

　　What she said was the truth, Liu Shi's scientific examination of her son was very heavy, the material of this blanket was the best to buy, the rabbit fur was also selected as smooth and soft, and it cost eight or two silver to sew up, which could stand up to a small cape.

　　Since he already had it, Qiao Yue didn't do knee pads anymore, only made one for Zhou Qin.

　　Hearing her say this, Su Yanzhi was suddenly choked up, and somewhat muffled "Oh", but his eyes kept staring at the knee pad in Zhou Qin's hand.

　　With the sound of "Dang", the sound of the gong sounded, and the talents who were talking to their families all became serious, and after only a few words with their families, they climbed into their respective carriages.

　　"Third brother, elder brother Zhou, pay attention to safety on the road!" Su Yanzhi and Zhou Qin got into the carriage, and there were two other people riding together, and when the people were on the same page, the coachman slowly moved the carriage with a shake of the reins.

　　"Mother, go back soon!" Su Yanzhi opened the curtain and shouted.

　　Liu Shi and Qiao Yue waved their hands and watched the carriage drift away.

　　When they received the news of Xu's death, the Su family was happily preparing mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

　　"Mother, there is no sugar in the house, I will go out and buy some." Qiao Yue was making peace, but when she saw that the sugar jar in the cupboard was empty, she shouted into the house.

　　Liu Shi heard the voice and ran out, "It's not early in the morning, my mother will accompany you." ”

　　Although it was not dark yet, the sugar shop was still in another alley, and now that it was dark, Liu Shi was not at ease to let Qiao Yue go out.

　　The two men did not take a few steps out of the door, and suddenly a man dressed in jailer costume suddenly ran out of the alley.

　　The two of them saw him running towards him without squinting, a little confused, and was about to ask, the person stopped breathlessly and glanced at the sign on the wall, "Are you Xu Chunju's family?" ”

　　"Yes, please..." Liu Shi nodded and was about to ask what was going on, when the jailer said, "Xu Chunju died with someone two quarters of an hour ago, so you should quickly take them away." ”

　　The jailer ran with a dry mouth, and it took a while before he could catch his breath, and regardless of the surprised expressions of the two men, he waved his hand and said, "Hurry up, I'm leaving." ”

　　"Hey, wait a minute!" Qiao Yue shouted twice behind him, but the jailer ran away quickly.

　　"What's going on? Yunniang only went to visit last month, didn't she say that she was fine, why did it suddenly disappear? Liu Shi said in surprise.

　　Qiao Yue said, "I don't know what's going on, now is not the time to discuss this, I'll first go and inform the eldest brother and Yunniang about them." ”

　　After saying that, she ran in with the hem of her skirt. A moment later, Yunniang cried and ran out from inside, Su Dalang looked ugly and led the donkey cart with a little daughter with red eyes, and the three of them got into the car and hurried to the county.

　　The next day, the Su family hung a white flag, and Yunniang and the second lady knelt in front of the spirit to mourn and weep.

　　Xu Shi had a dispute with the people in the same cell and was pushed by mistake, and he hit his head and died.

　　The prisoner who lost his hand was originally sentenced to qiuhou beheading, this time there was one more life, the county master directly sentenced three days after the beheading, as for compensation, the person was alone and had a rotten life.

　　Although the Xu family brought a lot of trouble to the Su family, she also got the punishment she deserved, and Su Dalang looked at his wife lying calmly in the coffin, and tears also flowed.

　　Although the Xu family did not like it, but the deceased was dead, the Liu family did not want to worry about anything anymore, so he asked the eldest son to spend more silver and handle the funeral more decently.

　　Su Yanzhi arrived at home on the third day after the exam.

　　"Sister-in-law is gone?"

　　Just after entering the house, Su Yanzhi only saw a haggard-looking Qiao Yue drying things in the courtyard, and when he came back, Qiao Yue did not show much joy, and after shouting, he went forward to take his baggage and poured water on him, and told Xu Chunju about it.

　　Su Yanzhi listened quietly, and at the end, sighed, "This is all fate." ”

　　Qiao Yue sat aside and said, "The eldest sister-in-law is buried in the countryside, and after the funeral is completed, my mother asked me to come here first and wait for you to come back." ”

　　Su Yanzhi nodded, stood up, and said, "Go, let's go back now." ”

　　Qiao Yue pulled yuanbao out of the courtyard, and the two of them got into a donkey cart and went to Qiushan Village.

　　The day of release of the list is September 28.

　　In the morning, the Su family had just sent away a wave of guests who bought tofu and drank soy milk, and they saw a group of officers and soldiers walking towards the residential area surrounded by a horse-drawn carriage.

　　"What's that for?" What happened? ”

　　"Is it the county grand master who is out on tour?"

　　....

　　Pedestrians on the street stopped and talked.

　　The Su family also looked at the officers and soldiers curiously, and overheard the boss selling fish next door saying, "This is a list, right?" A few days ago, my nephew in the state wrote to say that the list was released and gave me good news, and now this list has reached our county. ”

　　Upon hearing this, the Su family, who were wiping the table and cleaning up the dishes, was stunned for a moment, and after a moment, Liu Shi threw away the rag in his hand and dropped a sentence, "I'll go back and see." He ran away.

　　Su Erlang immediately said to Qiao Yue, "Little sister, you should go up and see if anyone has come to our house to announce the good news!" ”

　　"Got it, second brother." Qiao Yue answered and ran home.

　　The two ran to the house breathlessly, Su Yanzhi just got up from the bed, was squatting on the ground to wash his face, saw them in a hurry, and wondered: "Mother, little sister, what are you?" ”

　　Liu Shi stomped his feet, "Oops", "How did you get up, hurry up and clean up." He said and opened the courtyard door completely.

　　Su Yanzhi was still a little confused, Qiao Yue said, "Third brother, the news of the list has come, and the person who has just announced the good news has already left." ”

　　The annunciators begin with the county rankings and start from near and far according to the residential address registered by each student.

　　Hearing this, Su Yanzhi was also slightly nervous, studying poetry books for many years, in order to be on the list in every exam, although he was not sure that he could win the top of the list in this exam, but whether he could still know whether he could win or not.

　　Looking at himself, Su Yanzhi hurried into the room to clean himself up.

　　At this time, the sound of a carriage outside the courtyard sounded.

50. Chapter 50.

　　Chapter 50

　　Su Yanzhi won the list without suspense, and minzhou was the second Asian yuan title.

　　"There are lords of Labor." Qiao Yue sent the person to the door, took out a small cloth bag from the sleeve and stuffed it in the man's hand, "The adults are hard, this point, please drink some tea." ”

　　Sweeping the weight in his hand, the man raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Oh, this is Su Juren's sister, I have long heard that Su Juren's sister is as good as his brother, it is better to be famous than to meet." ”

　　The first family sent today received such a large red envelope, looking at the weight of at least three or two silver.

　　The man looked at the wooden sign hanging at the door again, and said to himself: This Su ju family will do things, very good.

　　After a few more polite words, the man went down to the next house with the officers and soldiers.

　　"Sanro, great, woohoo."

　　Inside the house, Liu Shi pulled on his son's sleeve and cried with joy, so many years of hard work was not in vain, and the three langs were lifted!

　　Su Yanzhi was also very happy, originally quite calm, and when Liu Shi cried like this, he also felt that it was not easy, and his eyes were also red.

　　When Qiao Yue entered the door, she saw the two of them like this, and rushed forward to comfort them.

　　"Mother, this is a great joy, you don't cry, go into the house quickly to clean up, there will definitely be neighbors who will come to the door to celebrate, you hurry to prepare tea snacks."

　　When she said this, Liu Shi reacted to it, wiped his tears, and nodded: "Right, right, hurry up and prepare some tea and snacks, otherwise it will be rude." ”

　　After saying that, he hurried to the room to prepare a snack.

　　Su Yan's eye circles were red, and he was a little embarrassed to be looked at by Qiao Yue, and he turned his back slightly red and wiped the corners of his eyes with his hands.

　　Qiao Yue smiled and said, "Congratulations to the third brother!" ”

　　Su Yanzhi snorted, and she said, "I'll go first and inform the eldest brother and the second brother that they are coming, and the guest lady will be busy alone." ”

　　After saying that, he quickly left.

　　The news of Su Yanzhong's move soon spread nearby, and the neighbors on the left and right all came to the door with gifts to congratulate him, and even the merchants who had business dealings with the Su family's tofu factory also prepared generous gifts to the door.

　　Su Yanzhongju is also Yayuan, which is another top three in Hong'an County twenty years later, and its name is very gold-rich, and even the county grand master has sent people to congratulate him.

　　It was hard to send all the guests away, and it was almost late at night.

　　Liu and his daughter-in-law Zhao And Qiao Yue cleaned up the garbage on the table, in the kitchen, Su Dalang and Su Erlang were cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and today the stove was not extinguished, boiling water, cooking, everyone was happy, busy and happy.

　　Su Yanzhong's move is a big thing, in the past few days, there have been people who have come to the door one after another, there are those who are touched with joy to congratulate him, and some people have come to give gifts and show goodwill under the banner of hexi, after all, even the county grandfather has sent people, and those who are clever have come to the door to pull relations.

　　And the most diligent and most running is the matchmaker.

　　"Oh, Mrs. Sue, we're having breakfast."

　　The Su family had eaten halfway through breakfast when they saw a woman in a dark red dress walk in with a happy face.

　　Sue family: ..... It's matchmaker again!

　　Liu Shi stood up with a smiling face and greeted, "Zou family aunt, come and sit inside." Saying that, he welcomed the people into the small living room on the side of the hall, and Qiao Yue got up and brewed tea and brought it in.

　　"This is the little moon girl, tut, what a Peugeot beauty."

　　Zou Media's wife looked up and down at Qiao Yue and couldn't stop praising it.

　　Qiao Yue smiled and walked around the screen into the room.

　　Zou Mediabo took a sip of tea and said straight to the point: "Lady Su, I think you must know that this time I came to the door for the family of Old Master Sun in the east of the county." ”

　　The Sun family in the east of the county, the Liu family naturally knows, the Sun family is a relative of the county grandfather, doing furniture business in the county, the shop has opened four or five, and the family foundation is quite solid.

　　Liu Shi showed a surprised expression, Sun Huilan's daughter Sun Huilan is sixteen years old this year, is the old son of Sun Laoye, and is the only daughter, very favored by the family, and grew up in fine clothes, just like Miss Qianjin.

　　Seeing her expression, Zou Media's wife showed a smile on her face and said: "Mrs. Su, this is a good family affair with all four corners, your family Sanlang became famous at a young age, and his appearance is also a talent, and Miss Sun is just like a match." ”

　　She tried her best to persuade that this family affair was personally visited by Lady Sun to find her as a matchmaker, and if it could be done, Lady Sun would have promised her fifty taels of silver.

　　Liu Shi listened to her persuasion, but also some heart, yesterday came to the door of the matchmaker is also many, but the introduction of those girls she did not like, always feel unworthy of the son.

　　Nowadays, in Liu's heart, Su Yanzhi's marriage can not be decided casually now, next year is the spring, if the son is high school, it is likely to stay in the capital, this marriage is indeed a little more cautious.

　　Listening to Zou Matchmaker's words, Liu Shi thought about it for a while, did not explicitly refuse, and said: "The marriage matter still needs to ask Sanlang himself." ”

　　The matchmaker knew that Su Yanzhi's identity was different now, and did not mention anything about the fate of her parents, so she immediately laughed and said, "That lady should talk to Su Juren well." ”

　　Speaking of this, her voice turned and she smiled: "Mrs. Su, your little moon girl is now thirteen years old, can you set someone?" ”

　　As soon as he heard about his daughter, Liu's expression was immediately different, "Yue'er is still young, I want to keep her for a few more years." ”

　　The implication is that there is no one to settle the family.

　　Zou Mediawo was a little unsure whether she really wanted to keep her daughter for a few more years, or a prevaricating word, after all, now that the Su family has a person, the unmarried girls in this family are naturally worth different, and those ordinary people are only afraid that they will not look at them.

　　Zou Mediawo is aware of Qiao Yue, the little girl showed a talent for doing business at a young age, the essential oil soap that was popular in the county is said to be from her hand, and the bamboo weaving of the Sun family's bamboo weaving workshop, which has produced a lot of novelties in the past two years, and it is said that it is also Qiao Yue's craftsmanship.

　　Her nephew learned from her, and it is said that the bamboo version of the Hong'an County Ya that the county grandmaster received was made by Su Zhengbao, and it is still placed in the county grandmaster's study.

　　And the Su family's current tofu shop also has a lot to do with Qiao Yue, such a girl who will produce gold, who doesn't want it, if it weren't for the fact that she was too young, I was afraid that the threshold of the Su family would have been broken long ago.

　　Thinking of this, Zou Media's heart is also envious, how can people's sons and daughters be so out of the ordinary, look at their own family.... Hey, off-topic.

　　Pressing his own wild thoughts, Zou Matchmaker smiled and tentatively said: "Young people don't care, you can settle down first, and now excellent boys are not easy to find." ”

　　Liu Shi didn't speak, but his face was a little ugly, Zou Mediawo thought to herself, such a baby pimple will certainly not let go easily.

　　"Mrs. Su, don't hide from you that Mrs. Yang, the mother of Old Master Zhao's nephew, has found me at home and asked me to come to the door and ask you what you mean."

　　Old Master Zhao was the county commander of Hong'an County, and his nephew was the younger son of his brother, and his younger brother Zhao Zhichang was the gentleman of the Astronomical Academy.

　　As a member of the Zhao family, if Qiao Yue marries into it, it is Gao Pan, although Su Yanzhi is now a person, but whether he can go to high school in the next year is still unknown.

　　Liu Shi didn't want to think about it and refused, "Yue'er is still young, don't consider her marriage for the time being, I really can't help it." ”

　　For Qiao Yue's marriage, Liu Shi looks much more important than Su Yanzhi's, after all, the daughter is not around her when she marries, if she is wronged, how to be good, this woman marries as a daughter-in-law to survive, Liu Shi as long as she thinks that her beloved daughter will be taught by other women, her heart is like cooking oil.

　　Therefore, the man's character is not good enough, the temperament of the parents and elders in his family is very important, if you meet a harsh mother-in-law, I am afraid that she will worry about not sleeping well at night.

　　As soon as she heard Liu's firm tone, Zou Mediawo had a good idea in mind, and she didn't say more at the moment, only regretting the dozens of matchmakers in her heart.

　　After saying a few more words, there were more guests outside, and Zou Mediawo and Liu Shi said that they would come to the door after three days, and then they resigned and left.

　　After lunch, Qiao Yue saw Su Yanzhi sitting in the shade of the tree in the courtyard sleeping, turned around and went back to the room to get the gift for Su Yanzhi, and quietly walked over.

　　Just when Qiao Yue was about to jump up and scare him, Su Yanzhi opened his eyes coldly, "Little sister." ”

　　Qiao Yue raised his hand into a cat's claw shape to scare him, suddenly froze, pouting, "Third brother, you are also too uncooperative." ”

　　Su Yanzhi lost his smile and raised his hand to block the sun, "What are you looking for me to do?" ”

　　Qiao Yue took out the thing in his arms, "Third brother, congratulations on your lifting, this is for you." ”

　　"For me!" Su Yanzhi stood up in an instant with excitement, and his eyes were full of joy.

　　"This is the blessing of peace that I sent to the temple for seven days and forty-nine days." Qiao Yue handed over a delicate small sachet, Su Yanzhi reached out, and there was a brush with a white body in his palm.

　　"This is...."

　　Su Yanzhi widened his eyes in surprise and looked at the brush in his hand, the brush was made of pure jade, the tentacles were warm and moist, not like ordinary products, the brush pen was carved with two lifelike white snakes, and the top was engraved with his own name.

　　"Third brother, do you like it?" Qiao Yue asked.

　　This brush was customized by her grandson boss from Beijing, it was fixed at the beginning of this year, and it was not received until a month ago, this pen was made by the master, and its price was also very expensive, which cost more than two hundred taels.

　　Su Yanzhimo grabbed the brush and touched Ping Anfu again, and the smile on his face could not be suppressed at all, "Like, I like it, thank you Yue'er." ”

　　It was already a surprise to receive Qiao Yue's gift, and I didn't expect that this gift was still so carefully prepared by her.

　　His heart was about to jump out of his throat, Su Yanzhi's hand trembled a little, he looked at the delicate and lovely Qiao Yue in front of him, excitedly did not know what to say, a face was red.

　　Su Yanzhi was not a person with sharp teeth, and he was very nervous at the moment, and he didn't know what he wanted to say, but he didn't know how to open his mouth.

　　"Yue'er, I..." Just as he was about to speak, he heard Liu Shi shouting, "Hey, come right away." Qiao Yue answered, turned and ran away.

　　Su Yanzhi saw her enter the room, shrugged down a little frustrated, sighed, sat back in the chair, hung Ping An Fu around his neck and put it close to him, and sat with a brush for an afternoon.

　　At night.

　　"Sanro, what do you think?"

　　At the time of dinner, Liu Shi said what Zou Media's wife said about the Sun family, and in the day she went out to inquire about it, and the reputation of the Sun family was not bad, so she asked her son what he meant.

　　The Su family at the dinner table all looked at Su Yanzhi, Su Yanzhi's hand paused, his eyes swept around, and he saw that Qiao Yue also looked at himself, and his body tensed up a little, and said: "Mother, my son has not yet taken the meritorious name, and now he does not want to talk about this." ”

　　Seeing his decisive refusal, Liu Shi said: "In fact, these two things are not in conflict, if you are interested, you can look at each other first." ”

　　Su Yanzhi shook his head and refused, unwilling to say more, as if he had an iron heart to wait for the spring after.

　　Su Dalang said, "Mother, since the third brother is unwilling, then forget it, anyway, our family does not lack girls to look at." ”

　　Liu Shi couldn't, and seeing that his son was really unwilling, he counted it out.

　　Everyone continued to eat, and Liu Shi said, "There is another thing that Zou Matchmaker came today, someone has taken a fancy to our Yue'er and wants to propose to us." ”

　　These words were like bombshells, and the people who exploded were stunned, all looking at Qiao Yue, and Su Yan did not have time to swallow a mouthful of soup, and he was choked and coughed.

　　"Third brother, be careful." Qiao Yue sat next to him and poured him a glass of water sharply.

　　"Cough, mother, you said yes?" Su Yanzhi's face was coughing red, and he didn't even catch his breath, so he quickly asked.

　　"Yes, mother, you said yes?" Where is that person? Boss Su also asked.

　　Seeing that they were so excited, Liu Shi laughed, scooped up a bowl of soup, and said: "No, Yue'er is still young, and she does not consider marriage for the time being." ”

　　"Oh, that's fine." Everyone was relieved.

　　One of Su Yanzhi's hearts also fell back from his throat.

　　Qiao Yue didn't feel anything, she had already told Liu that the marriage would not be considered until after the age of eighteen.

　　After the autumn, the rain begins to increase.

　　The crackling rain rang from morning to afternoon, and it seemed that I didn't know when to stop.

　　The weather was cold and dark early, and the Sujia Tofu Factory closed early.

　　After dinner, Liu Called everyone and said that there was something to say.

　　"Sanlang said that the Spring Festival was held in February, and he wanted to leave for the capital earlier." Liu Shi said, looking at the other two sons, I plan to personally send Sanlang to the capital. “

　　"Huh?"

　　Everyone was shocked, and Su Dalang quickly said: "Mother, how can this work, this is a long way to the capital, you really should not go." ”

　　Su Erlang and Su Yanzhi also nodded, and Su Erlang said, "Mother, the eldest brother is right, we know that you don't trust Sanlang, but this road is too far, and it will soon be winter, the weather is cold, and it is even harder to rush." ”

　　Su Yanzhi did not expect that her mother would personally send herself, and quickly stopped: "Mother, I can go by myself." ”

　　Seeing that they refused, Liu Shi looked at Su Yanzhi unhappily, "You have never been away from home since you were a child, and your mother is really not at ease." ”

　　"Mother, why don't I send my third brother?" Su Dalang said, "I am the eldest brother, and I should take care of my younger brother." ”

　　Liu Shi shook his head, "Boss, Yunniang has already begun to discuss kissing, how can you leave?" Seeing that Su Erlang wanted to open his mouth, Liu Clan waved his hand, "Elder Two, you too, Zhengbao is not young, he was just promoted to a steward by the shop last month, things are very busy, life is not taken care of, you should arrange marriage for him as soon as possible, find a virtuous girl to come back and take care of him."

　　Upon hearing Liu Shi say this, Su Erlang swallowed back his words and frowned, "But..."

　　Su Yanzhi saw that everyone in his family was worried about him, and said, "Mother, eldest brother and second brother, I can really be one, and there is Zhou Qin with me." ”

　　Liu Shi is still not at ease, the road to the capital is far away, how do the two men know to take care of themselves, their sons themselves know, although Su Yanzhi's body is well raised, but do not pay attention to keep warm or it is easy to infect the wind and cold, she is really not at ease.

　　"Mother, why don't you let me accompany my third brother?"

51. Chapter 51.

　　Liu Shi frowned, "No, it's not safe for you to go out of a girl's house."

　　Everyone also nodded, and Qiao Yue said, "Mother, it's all right, I can take care of myself, besides, there are third brothers and elder brother Zhou." ”

　　"Mother, when I go to the capital, on the one hand, I want to take care of my third brother, and on the other hand, I also want to go to the capital to see, I heard that it is very prosperous, and I want to see and see."

　　"But you're a girl, you're not safe." Liu Shi still felt a little unreliable, Qiao Yue said: "This is easy to do, I can dress up as a man, just say that it is the younger brother of the third brother." ”

　　Qiao Yue has been here for so long, has been hiding in this small place, has long wanted to go outside to see it, and now there is a good opportunity to go out and travel.

　　Su Erlang knew that Qiao Yue had always been wise, and when he saw her insisting, he did not object again, "Mother, the little sister has always been clever, and there will be no mistakes, besides, with the little sister around, the problem of the third brother's eating and drinking will be solved, if this is not a coincidence to stay outside, the third brother and the Zhou family brothers are afraid that they will not even be able to get a fire."

　　At this point, everyone laughed out loud, and Su Yanzhi's face was thin red, pretending to cough to hide his embarrassment.

　　Liu Shi felt that what the second son said was also reasonable, so he agreed, and Zhao Shi, who was beside him, suddenly said, "What about the tofu factory?" Tofu...."

　　Before the words were finished, Su Erlang quickly pulled her clothes, he knew what his wife meant, giving tofu some brine has always been Qiao Yue doing, if Qiao Yue left, this tofu factory is not going to close.

　　From the heart, Su Erlang is also unwilling, the tofu shop is the only one in the county, the business every day is very good, they have also made a lot of money, if Qiao Yue does not want to leave the brine method, they can not force it, after all, this matter Qiao Yue's own method.

　　Liu Shi stared at the second daughter-in-law for a moment, she felt that Zhao Shi was so eager to ask out that he was coveting the brine fangzi, and she was a little unhappy in her heart.

　　Zhao Shi saw that everyone's face was not good-looking, and realized that he was too anxious, this little sister-in-law had always done things safely, and would not think of going up to it, but his own opening made the family feel that they were greedy and wanted To fangzi, and even more wanted to take the tofu factory for themselves.

　　His face turned pale suddenly, and Zhao Shi "teng" stood up, because the movement was too big, and his elbow almost turned around Su Erlang's face.

　　"I, I don't mean that, I just..." Zhao Shi stuttered nervously, and his face was red when he saw everyone looking at her.

　　"Little sister, I really don't mean that, I'm just, I'm just worried about the tofu factory." Later, I remember that the circles of my eyes were red.

　　Qiao Yue smiled softly and got up and helped Zhao Shi to sit on the bench, "Second sister-in-law, I know what you mean, I don't blame you." ”

　　"Little sister!" Zhao Shi wiped the corners of his eyes and was comforted by Qiao Yue and put his heart at ease.

　　Qiao Yue walked over to Liu Shi and sat down, "Mother, I have already thought about the tofu shop, leave it to the second brother and the second sister-in-law to do, from tomorrow I will give the method of brine to the second sister-in-law and you." ”

　　"Little sister, you!" The most surprised was Su Erlang and his wife, they looked at each other, they did not expect that Qiao Yue would directly hand over such a profitable business to himself.

　　Liu Shi frowned, "Have you thought about it?" ”

　　Qiao Yue nodded and said affirmatively: "The tofu shop can do so well, thanks to the second brother and sister-in-law, they get up every day before dawn to work, all for the tofu shop." ”

　　Zhao Shi and others were full of emotions, and there was nothing more heart-warming than being remembered for their hard work.

　　At the moment, she immediately assured: "Little sister, you can rest assured, the second sister-in-law will definitely stick to The Fangzi, and your second brother will run the tofu factory well and wait for you to come back." ”

　　Su Erlang also nodded, "Little sister, you can rest assured, you will always be the owner of the tofu shop." ”

　　"Well, Yue'er believes in you." Qiao Yue was very happy that the Su family could unite as one, and she was still very relieved to hand over the tofu factory to the second room.

　　In addition to the people who enter beijing to catch the examination, ordinary people who want to go out of the province must go to the county to handle the 'road guide', which is made of a special paper, which records the basic information of the holder, and even the appearance and height will be recorded to facilitate the inspection of the city keeper.

　　After another three or five days, everything was ready.

　　"Mother, you don't have to bring so many things." Qiao Yue snatched down a bag of rice in Liu's hand, and pointed helplessly at the donkey cart, "Mother, there is no place to sit on it again." ”

　　Liu Shi was worried that several of them were inconvenient on the road, and they had prepared a lot of clothes, shoes and socks, dry food and other things, and loaded a car full of fast.

　　Su Yanzhi also said, "Mother, these things can also be bought on the road, and the materials are too heavy to run." ”

　　Liu Shi frowned, "Then how to do it, in case you can't catch the inn, you can also cook and eat." ”

　　She sighed, "This trip to the capital is far away, at least it will take a month, the cost of this road is huge, you young people do not know how to save, what if the silver is spent?" ”

　　It is often said that 'children are worried about thousands of miles of mothers', Liu Shi is now in this mood, saying that they are all teenagers, although they have enough silver, but young people have always had wide hands, and this goes out wherever they have to spend money, how to do it without saving a little?

　　Although Liu Shi was painstaking, Qiao Yue still refused, and after looking around, Qiao Yue took a lot of things from the car.

　　"Mother, you don't have to bring any of this."

　　Seeing that her daughter insisted, Liu Shi did not say anything more.

　　In the evening, Zhou Qin and his mother Hong Shi came with two bags.

　　"Xiao Yue, Sanlang, Zhou Qin will bother you to take care of you more." Hong Shi smiled and squinted, Zhou Qin was the youngest person in their village, which could be regarded as a Guangzong Yaozu for the Zhou family, during this time Hong Clan felt that the waist pole was a lot straighter when they went out, and their family's status in the village rose sharply.

　　Only when the two of them went out, they were also stuffed with a lot of cakes and dry food by the village, saying that they were letting Zhou Qinlu eat it.

　　Su Yanzhi took the bag and put it on the donkey cart, "The aunt is polite, and I and Zhou Qin take care of each other together." ”

　　Hong carried a bag of snacks into the house to greet Liu and the others.

　　Early the next morning, in the reluctant eyes of the Su family, Qiao Yue and the three of them got into a donkey cart and went in the direction of the capital.

　　It was almost noon, the sun was high, and Qiao Yue was dressed as a teenager and sat outside the road car wearing a straw hat.

　　"Zhou Qin, it's been a morning, let's change, you come in and rest for a while." Su Yanzhi pulled the curtain and said.

　　Zhou Qin looked back at him, smiled and said, "No need, Yanzhi you rest, I'm not tired." His voice was brisk and cheerful, not at all tired.

　　Su Yanzhi was silent for a moment, and looked at Qiao Yue next to him, "Xiao Yue, it's sunbathing outside, you come in and sit." ”

　　Qiao Yuecai did not want to go in and stuffy it, a few days ago Liu Asked someone to transform the donkey cart, and made a scaffolding for the top, similar to the carriage, for the sake of space, it is ugly.

　　Qiao Yue just went out this fresh energy has not yet passed, half a day will have been out of the county, she is curious about it. Now it's autumn again, sitting outside in the breeze, looking at the scenery, very pleasant, this is a novel experience that has never been seen before.

　　She turned her head and smiled at Su Yanzhi, revealing her small white teeth like grains of rice, "No need, third brother, it's so comfortable outside, you can still see the scenery." After saying that, he turned his head and Zhou Qin said about the unfamiliar scenery around him.

　　Su Yanzhi looked at the two smiling people, feeling a little stuffy, he lowered the curtain and sat in the carriage, the laughter of the two people from time to time came into his ears from the outside.

　　"Zhou Qin, where are we?" It's hot, so find a place to rest. "Endure and endure, really can't sit alone, Su Yanzhi opened the curtain and sat down behind the two people."

　　Before Zhou Qin could answer, Qiao Yue, who was beside him, took out a book from his backpack, flipped it over, and said, "We just left the county, and we are still twenty miles away from the next town." "This is a map of Minzhou, very detailed, and the distance between villages and towns is written on it.

　　Zhou Qin pointed to the person carrying a hoe in front of him: "There are people working in front, there should be villages nearby, and we will go to rest later." ”

　　Before it was dark, the three of them rushed to a lively town and found an inn that looked quite clean.

　　Xiao Er of the confession shop fed yuanbao hay, and the three of them carried their bags to the room.

　　Because Qiao Yue went out to do juvenile dressing, in order to avoid trouble, the three of them opened a large room with two beds, fortunately, there was a wide screen in the room to cover it, so it would not be too embarrassing.

　　The next morning, the three of them set off at dawn, and it was not appropriate to rush at night, and in order to speed up the process, they could only be a little earlier in the morning.

　　Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

　　"Yue'er, you're all right, come, drink some water." Su Yanzhi saw Qiao Yue's pale face leaning back in the carriage, taking a bamboo cup and pouring some water and handing it over.

　　Since the morning, Qiao Yue has been a little uncomfortable, and she has not even eaten much lunch at noon.

　　"It's a little uncomfortable." Qiao Yue took a few sips of water, patted his chest, and suppressed the disgusting feeling.

　　"Are you sick?" The face is so ugly. Su Yanzhi was a little worried, and reached out to stroke the strands of hair that were stuck to her face because of the sweat.

　　"Well, wow!" Suddenly, Qiao Yue threw up on the side of the window of the carriage.

　　"Woo!" Zhou Qin heard the movement and quickly stopped the car.

　　"What's going on?" Zhou Qin saw that Qiao Yue was coughing and asked worriedly.

52. Chapter 52.

　　Su Yanzhi gently patted her back, frowned and shook her head, "I don't know, Yue'er is a little uncomfortable in the morning, I don't know if it's cold at night." ”

　　"Third brother, I'm all right." Gargling, Qiao Yue gasped and retracted back into the carriage.

　　She felt weak, her head was dizzy, she had a stomach-wrenching feeling all the time, it felt like, motion sickness?

　　Yes, it's motion sickness.

　　Qiao Yue has never done such a long donkey cart, at the beginning it was really fresh, looking at the scenery, staying in an inn, occasionally not being able to camp in time to camp, the pots and pans are complete, stir-frying some wild vegetables and bacon or something is also a different taste.

　　Just when Qiao Yue felt that this was like a trip, this discomfort began to appear.

　　After all, the donkey car can not be compared with the modern car high-speed rail, the road is dirt, there are small stones, and potholes, even if the carriage is covered with mattresses for a long time, it still makes people feel panicked, whether it is sitting or lying, at the end of the day, the body is sore.

　　"It still depends on the doctor, it won't work." Su Yanzhi got anxious, got out of the car and looked around, all he could see was the mountain forest, and the village was not seen at all.

　　"Let's take a break here." Zhou Qindao.

　　Su Yanzhi sighed and handed the water to Qiao Yue, who said, "Third brother, big brother Zhou, I am either sick or a little motion sick." ”

　　The car is too bumpy, Su Yanzhi and Zhou Qin feel a little tired and there is not much reaction, Qiao Yue is a girl, this body is a little worse in all aspects, especially Qiao Yue has not suffered any hardships for such a long time, this body is really not acquainted.

　　After this bumpy time, the body began to protest, especially when the donkey cart ran up, as if it was doing three bungees, the upside-down body was going to fall apart, and it felt more and more uncomfortable.

　　There was no one in the wilderness ridge, Zhou Qin and Su Yanzhi could not, Su Yanzhi saw that Qiao Yue's small face was miserable, so he made a quilt for her to lie down, and went out with Zhou Qin to sit outside and continue to hurry.

　　Because of Qiao Yue's body, the speed of this driving slowed down, and seeing that the sky was dark, it was enough to see people sparking.

　　It was too late for the medical center to close, Su Yanzhi gave dozens of dollars to let the shop Xiao Er send some hot water to the room, and then told him to invite the doctor to come early in the morning, and the shop Xiao Er took the reward money, and a stack of voices guaranteed to leave.

　　The next day, the doctor came to see, saying that the girl's family was weak and bumpy for days, which hurt the body, prescribed a few pairs of medicines and left.

　　Su Yanzhi took the medicine to let the shop Xiao Er go to stay up, and he accompanied Qiao Yue in the room to talk and relieve his boredom.

　　After lunch, Qiao Yue proposed to hurry, but Su Yanzhi disagreed, "Your body has not yet recovered, if you are sick on the road, you will not even find a doctor." ”

　　Zhou Qin took a sip of water and nodded, "Sister Xiaoyue, your third brother is right, this day is still early, don't be so anxious, it is important that you cultivate your body first." ”

　　Su Yanzhi sighed worriedly, "If Niang sees you like this, I am afraid that I will die of sadness." ”

　　When Qiao Yue saw them say this, he didn't say much more, only saying that he would rush to the road after resting for two days and getting better, but he didn't expect that this day would change, and it would rain at night.

　　I just got up in the morning and pushed open the window, it was still raining outside, and the raindrops fell on the awning below and made a rattling sound. Qiao Yue lives in a room on the second floor facing the street, and when you push open the door, you can see the lively market, but now because of the rain, there are very few pedestrians in the street market, and those who come out to buy things are also in a hurry.

　　The wind mixed with the rain blew into the window, an autumn rain and a cool, Qiao Yue only wore a single dress, snorted, rubbed his arms and reached out to cover the window halfway.

　　"Yue'er, go to breakfast." On the other side of the screen, Su Yanzhi shouted.

　　"Here it comes."

　　After washing up, the three of them went downstairs, and Zhou Qin said, "There is no way to rush on this rainy day, we will have to live for a few more days." ”

　　Su Yanzhi nodded, came to the first floor to find a place to sit down, "Yes, the road is slippery on a rainy day, or wait until the sky is clear." Qiao Yue beckoned xiao er to the shop to ask for porridge and steamed buns and a few plates of small dishes.

　　After breakfast, Su Yanzhi and Zhou Qin planned to go back to the room to read a book, and Qiao Yue said that she wanted to go outside.

　　Su Yan's footsteps upstairs stopped, "I'll accompany you." ”

　　Qiao Yue didn't want to disturb them reading, and she was going to try it in the spring, and now every day was precious.

　　"No, third brother, I'm just walking around the street and want to buy some food and come back and make it."

　　Rest for a few days, every day the soup is scarce, the mouth is light and tasteless, the delicious meals in the inn are very expensive, and at the end of the day three people want to have meat and vegetarian at least a few hundred texts.

　　Qiao Yue brought a lot of silver, eating is eating, but Su Yanzhi said, they go out, to save some, the money is not exposed is safer, they are now out of Minzhou, in the strange land is still a little low-key good

　　Yangliu Town is a relatively wealthy town, although the town is not large, but the most lively place is the street where Qiao Yue is located, where all the business people are here.

　　Qiao Yue walked around with an umbrella, bought some fresh dishes, and when she returned to the inn, her dress had been stained by muddy water.

　　After roughly wiping it with a cloth towel, Qiao Yue went back to the room to get some condiments and went to the back kitchen of the inn.

　　"Officer, here it is, even if you use it, if you lack anything, just come to me." A teenager who was a helper in the back kitchen took Qiao Yue to another stove.

　　"Thank you brother."

　　This stove is not as good as the front, in the open air of the small courtyard, the position of the upper wall is a two-pot stove, and some wooden shelves have been set up elsewhere, and some jars are placed on them, which seem to be used for boiling medicine.

　　Such stoves are generally available in inns, convenient for people to use, some customers want to eat the inn does not, you can buy their own vegetables to this small kitchen to do, of course, this is to pay money, a day to pay thirty yuan of firewood money, although the price is not very expensive, but compared to ordinary people has not been cheap.

　　After several days, Qiao Yue planned to make a hot and spicy hot pot to eat.

　　The pots and pans are clean, just rinse them with clean water.

　　On fire, bring the water in the pot to a boil, put the clean dried peppers into the pot of boiling water and cook until soft, then drain and chop.

　　The lard was bought at the inn, and now that the weather is getting cooler, the lard has solidified into snow white.

　　Without any trouble, half a jar of lard was poured into the pot and dissolved, and the aroma of the grease immediately filled the backyard.

　　Spring onions, onions, garlic cloves and coriander are fried in a frying pan over high heat and the basic spice oil is ready.

　　The scent made here hooked people, the cook in the front of the big kitchen smelled the aroma probe probe to see, Qiao Yue did not have the meaning of greeting, only fished out the residue of the boiling spice oil and put it into the clay pot to cover it.

　　Add chopped chili peppers to spice oil and boil for a quarter of an hour.

　　The spicy aroma becomes so intense that it makes people smell it.

　　Just after breakfast, the back kitchen was not busy, the two cooks in the store were standing at the door watching, several times wanted to talk, but because Qiao Yue had been with a straight face, he was not embarrassed to open his mouth.

　　At this time, there is a box room somewhere on the second floor.

　　Yan Shaobai sat bored in front of the bed drinking tea and reading a book, occasionally looking out the window at the river.

　　With the sound of beaded curtains colliding, a girl in a pink satin dress approached.

　　"Big Brother." Yan Tingyu walked over with a small snack, "This is the osmanthus cake I let Ping'er go out to buy, fresh, the taste is very good, you taste it." ”

　　She came over and put the snack on the table, walked to the bed and looked at the rain outside the window, and did not lightly say, "I don't know if this rain will stop one day." ”

　　Yan Shaobai retracted his gaze, sighed, twisted up a piece of osmanthus cake, and asked, "Yu'er, what do you eat at noon today?" ”

　　Yan Tingyu smiled, "Not just a few things, although the environment of this inn is not bad, there are few fresh dishes." ”

　　Hearing this, Yan Shaobai was even less interested, lazily throwing away the book in his hand and lying on the table as if he had no bones.

　　Yan Tingyu said angrily, "Big brother, we are going to Beijing to prepare for the exam, why do you think about eating!" If Daddy knew, he would definitely scold you. ”

　　Yan Shaobai had a momentary lack of heart, straightened up and said: "This is a long way to go to the capital, it is rare to have the opportunity to go out, of course, we must taste the food from all over the world, and we will not waste our hard work." ”

　　Yan Tingyu smiled and shook her head, and this exam was done in order to be able to eat food from all over the world, and her big brother was really hungry.

　　Yan Tingyu quipped, "Seeing that you live like you don't have food at home, if outsiders know that the grand duke of the Tangtang Inspector is so hungry, he will definitely laugh to death." ”

　　At this time, she remembered something, looked around, and said strangely, "What about Chang Feng?" Why not? "Chang Feng is Yan Shaobai's personal servant, and he has to accompany the attendant every day."

　　"I asked him to go out and find out if there was anything to eat." Yan Shaobai said.

　　Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, he thought that he could go sightseeing and taste food on the way out to Beijing. I didn't expect to walk for two or three days, I didn't encounter any novel food, I ate and eaten around, and even some meals were even more difficult to eat than his family's.

　　Yan Shaobai is like this, because he does not know, as the son of the inspector, this eating and wearing degree is the best in the local area, and he is a love to eat, what novel food has not been eaten, and what he encountered along the way is just an ordinary county town where there are any delicacies.

　　"When the sky clears, let's set off immediately and rush to the capital as soon as possible, I heard.... Oh, what does it taste like? Before Yan Shao could finish speaking, he smelled a spicy fragrance.

　　He got up and probed out, only to see a trace of smoke coming out from below, and the spicy smell came from there.

　　His eyes lit up, and he couldn't say anything to his sister anymore, and a gust of wind went downstairs like a net.

　　"Big Brother!" Yan Tingyu shouted, only to hear the sound of the door slamming against the wall, Yan Shaobai was already gone. What a mouthful, she shook her head and laughed.

　　Here, Qiao Yue poured all the powder made from more than a dozen spices prepared into the oil pepper, stir-fried for a while, and then poured two spoonfuls of white wine to stimulate the aroma.

　　The aroma of wine and chili oil blends perfectly together, and the aroma of wine is permeated with fresh and spicy, and the taste is even longer, "Gollum! ”

　　The cooks standing at the door couldn't bear it any longer and came over and asked, "Brother, what are you doing?" So fragrant! ”

　　They probed into the pot, Qiao Yue did not refuse, lowered his voice and said: "The weather is cold, do some hometown flavor to warm up." ”

　　Her voice was low, and she wore a cloth hat on her head, like a little teenager in the process of changing her voice.

　　"You made chili sauce?" A tall chubby cook asked.

　　Qiao Yue did not answer, and after the hot pot base was ready, he used a large iron spoon to put all the ingredients into a jar.

　　Ma Sharply washed the pot, and Qiao Yue left the small kitchen with the jar in her arms.

53. Chapter 53...

　　When Qiao Yue walked to the staircase, he happened to meet Yan Shaobai who was hurrying down, Qiao Yue saw that he took several steps and naturally gave way to the side, looked up, only to see that the man was tall and tall like a crown jade, and when the two of them passed, the man glanced at the jar in Qiao Yue's hand, paused and went to the kitchen.

　　"Shopkeeper, what are you doing?" Yan Shaobai did not have the shelf of the rich disciples at all, and asked with a smile at the kitchen station.

　　Several cooks in the kitchen knew Yan Shaobai, and in the past two days, this young master had already pulled out their pressure box bottom craftsmanship, just to eat a bite of novelty.

　　Before anyone could answer, Yan Shaobai's eyes turned around, and seeing that there was nothing on the stove, he wondered, "I just smelled the hot and spicy fragrance upstairs, are you hiding?" ”

　　A cook said, "Son, no, we're still resting on the stove." Several people looked at each other, and Yan Shaobai really felt that they did not want to take it out, so they immediately took out the silver and wanted to buy it.

　　The other person suddenly said "Oh" and said, "Son, the taste of Fang Cai was not made by our master, but by a guest officer who lived in the hotel." ”

　　Yan Shaobai said, "What about people? ”

　　"The guy was ready to go back to the room, and he made it in the back of the small kitchen, and he said it was a hometown dish, and we don't know."

　　Yan Shaobai suddenly remembered the people he met at the staircase, hurriedly turned back, at this time there was still someone, he turned around the lobby a few times in disappointment, looking for the shop Xiao Er to inquire, the shop Xiao Er said that he did not notice, he sighed, disappointed back to the room.

　　When it was time for lunch, Qiao Yue called Su Yanzhi and Zhou Qin downstairs to eat, and went down first with the jar in his hand.

　　At noon, it is the time for meals, the rain outside is not stopping, there are fewer people shopping, and there are not many people who eat in the inn.

　　Qiao Yue picked a corner position, placed the oil jar and the special stove and the amphora on the table, went to the kitchen, and took down the basket of vegetables that had hung on the pole in the morning.

　　The basket contained a variety of dishes she had prepared in the morning, and after asking the shop for some charcoal, Qiao Yue returned to the table and lit the stove.

　　The hot and spicy hot pot base is boiled in the pot, grunting, and the aroma drifts in the air with the heat, attracting the frequent eyes of the surrounding diners.

　　The bottom of the pot was boiling, and before su Yanzhi and the two of them came down, Qiao Yue knew that the two should be discussing poetry books, giving them time to forget, raising his hand to put several meat dishes into it to cook, planning to ask the guy to go upstairs to shout, as soon as he looked up, he saw a man in white with glowing eyes walking towards this side.

　　Yan Shaobai was hooked by the fragrance.

　　He followed the fragrance to Qiao Yue's table, walked in, the fragrance that made people swallow saliva was even more intense, he looked at the things on the table, and said: "Little brother, what kind of dish are you?" ”

　　Qiao Yue glanced at him and said, "What you did yourself, it's just a hodgepodge." ”

　　Yan Shaobai nodded, seeing that Qiao Yue scooped a spoonful of bright red sauce from the jar into the pot, the color of the soup became more intense, and smiled at the moment: "Little brother, I don't know if this ingredient can be sold to me?" ”

　　Qiao Yue directly shook her head and refused, "No, you and I don't know each other, if you eat any discomfort, I can't afford it." ”

　　Yan Shaobai was a little anxious, took a few steps closer, and took out a piece of silver from his sleeve, "Little brother, sell me some." His throat knot rolled up and down, and his eyes stuck to the hot pot.

　　"Big brother, what are you doing?" A soft voice came, and Yan Tingyu went downstairs, followed by a strong man and a green-clad man.

　　Yan Tingyu saw her brother pestering a young teenager on the stairs, and when she walked over, she showed a helpless expression on her face, and it turned out that she was attracted by the fragrance.

　　Seeing that Qiao Yue's face was not worried, Yan Tingyu said gently: "Little brother, don't be afraid, my eldest brother has no malice, he just likes to eat." ”

　　Qiao Yue looked cold, looked at the two people, saw that they were dressed either rich or expensive, and did not want to have anything to do with such people, so they simply did not speak.

　　"Zhou Qin, I tell you, the hot pot made by Yue'er is delicious, and you will be able to enjoy it when you eat it!"

　　On the second floor, Su Yanzhi and the two of them finished discussing an article, which sounded like lunch, and hurried out of the room.

　　Zhou Qin nodded, and the two of them went downstairs, "Then I will feast today." ”

　　Just after walking down the stairs, Zhou Qin's eyes on the right glanced at it, and he saw that Qiao Yue seemed to be surrounded by people in the corner on the right.

　　"Yanzhi, you see!" He shouted hurriedly.

　　Su Yanzhi looked in the direction of his finger and saw that Qiao Yue was surrounded by four people, his face changed, and he picked up his robe and ran down.

　　"Fourth brother, what happened?" Su Yanzhi ran over, thinking that Qiao Yue had been bullied. Hurriedly escorted her behind him.

　　"Third brother, it's all right." Qiao Yue pulled on his clothes and said.

　　Zhou Qin also ran over, "Dare to ask the two of you what's the matter?" We're his brothers, and there's nothing to tell us. ”

　　Seeing the two people who suddenly appeared looking at themselves with a bad face, Yan Shaobai arched his hand: "Under the surname Yan, this is my sister, the two brothers should not be excited, there is no malice in the next." ”

　　Briefly introducing himself, Yan Shaobai said bluntly: "Under the attraction of the food made by Ling Brother, I want to sell some materials, and I have not embarrassed this little brother." ”

　　Several people's eyes turned to Qiao Yue, and Qiao Yue nodded calmly.

　　Su Yanzhi and the two relaxed, and he said, "This is my brother's craft, she doesn't want to sell it, so let's go." ”

　　At this time, Yan Tingyu next to her stared at Su Yanzhi with burning eyes, and suddenly said: "Dare to ask the prince but Su Yanzhi, Su Juren?" ”

　　As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised, and Su Yanzhi looked at her with a puzzled expression, "Does the girl know Su? ”

　　Yan Tingyu smiled softly and looked at Yan Shaobai, "Brother, this is Yayuan, who is the second place this year, Su Yanzhi." ”

　　Speaking of Ya Yuan, Yan Shaobai let out an "Oh" and suddenly pointed at Su Yan's way with a fan: "It's him." ”

　　Su Yanzhi's name he had heard, this time he and Su Yanzhi's answer sheets are not up and down, the articles made by the two are extremely difficult for the examiner to choose, after the list of people came out, he also heard his father say that this Su Xiucai is brilliant and is a rare person of insight.

　　Hearing his father, who had always been strict, praise him, Yan Shaobai also became curious about this person, but because Su Yan's family was not in Minzhou, they were not allowed to see each other.

　　And Yan Tingyu will know Su Yanzhi because when she picked up Yan Shaobai outside the examination room to go home, she met Su Yanzhi, when he was discussing the test questions with several Xiucai, and her radiant appearance made her write it down.

　　I didn't expect them to meet here.

　　After listening to Yan Tingyu's words, Yan Shaobai said, "It turned out to be Brother Su, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

　　Su Yanzhi said, "I didn't expect to meet Brother Yan here, which was disrespectful." ”

　　Several people were greeting each other, and Qiao Yue pulled Onuyan's clothes and said, "Third brother, the hot pot can be eaten, since you are acquaintances, it is better to use a piece of it." ”

　　Yan Shaobai, who had long wanted to eat, listened, his eyes lit up, and the appearance of the prince who had just returned to the public instantly disappeared quickly, picked up his robe and sat down, and smiled: "Thank you So much Little Brother Su!" ”

　　Su Yanzhi & Zhou Qin: ..... Confirmed the look, this is a mouthful!

　　Several people sat down, a few more people, only one pot on the table was obviously not enough, she beckoned the shop boy to take a set of small boilers to put on.

　　"The bottom material has been boiled, and what Yan Gongzi likes to eat will be put in and cooked, and when it is cooked, it can be fished up and eaten." Qiao Yue said a word, pushed a plate of meat slices and meatballs over, and put the vegetables into the pot and boiled.

　　Yan Shaobai has never eaten anything like this, this meal has always been one person and one serving, even the chopsticks with vegetables are public chopsticks, so eating in a pot, but never.

　　Frowning, Yan Shaobai still couldn't resist the temptation of spicy, and threw most of the ingredients into the pot and began to cook.

　　Yan Tingyu, who was sitting next to him, seemed to be more interested in Su Yanzhi, and she said, "I didn't expect to meet someone familiar here, I don't know when Su Gongzi is going to leave for the capital?" ”

　　Su Yanzhi fished out the meatballs that had been cooked and put them into Qiao Yue's bowl and said, "When the sky is clear, we will leave." ”

　　"That...." Yan Tingyu asked a few more words, Su Yanzhi's expression was always light, just talking to Zhou Qin and Qiao Yue to eat, it seemed that he did not want to talk to Yan Tingyu.

　　"Oh! So spicy! Delicious! Yan Shaobai was still the first time to eat such a heavy taste of food, a few bites of the dish, and was inhaled by the spicy Schashardi.

　　"Sister, you can taste it too, it tastes good!" He was talking, the chopsticks in his hand did not stop at all, eating vegetables, blanching vegetables, eating vegetables, blanching vegetables, both hands were busy, thanks to his left and right hands are very flexible.

　　Yan Tingyu nodded, clipped a little to taste, suddenly the spicy tongue began to hurt, the food in the mouth wanted to spit out embarrassed to spit out, frowned and swallowed, the hot feeling immediately went down the throat, next to the lady Ping'er saw the situation, quickly handed a cup of cold water.

　　Yan Shaobai saw that his sister's eyes were red with hot eyes, not only was he not distressed, but he also laughed, he himself was also sweating on the hot forehead at this time, and his cheeks were red, but his expression became more and more excited.

　　Here Qiao Yue heard that he was the top of the list this time, and while she was surprised in her heart, her eyes were on Yan Tingyu on the side, and she quietly asked Su Yanzhi and Zhou Qin, "Are they the sons and daughters of Inspector Min Zhou?" ”

　　Zhou Qin nodded and said, "Yes, although I have never seen the two of them, but the top of the list is the son of Inspector Minzhou, I and your third brother have heard the master say." ”

　　Su Yanzhi nodded, indicating that what Zhou Qin said was true.

　　Qiao Yue let out an "Oh" and the gaze looking at Yan Tingyu became complicated.

　　She didn't expect to meet the heroine of the book. It is the woman who became intimate with Su Yan in the original book.

　　The second daughter of the Yan family, with a beautiful appearance and a gentle personality, is a pair created in heaven and earth with the new Ke Yuanlang.

　　This sentence is the description of Yan Tingyu in the book, because the protagonist in the book is Su Yanzhi, there are not many descriptions of other women, and this Yan family daughter is only a few words.

　　Qiao Yue had already forgotten that there was such a person, and he didn't expect that they would meet here.

　　She remembered that in the original book, Yan Tingyu and Su Yanzhi did not meet on the way to Beijing, but Yan Tingyu's father caught a son-in-law after arriving in the capital and wanted to give his daughter to Su Yanzhi, and the two met.

　　Fang Cai Yan Tingyu's attitude towards Su Yanzhi was all in her eyes, and Yan Tingyu had obviously become interested in Su Yanzhi.

　　Look at Yan Tingyu, who has a delicate figure, and then look at Su Yanzhi, who has a handsome appearance, from the face, handsome men and beautiful women, the two are indeed quite compatible. Qiao Yue suddenly felt a little unhappy, and she was also a little uninterested in the hot pot in front of her.

　　"Fourth brother, what's wrong with you?" No more eating. Zhou Qin took the chopsticks and shook them in front of her, qiao Yue returned to her senses, smiled lightly and put down the chopsticks and said: "I am full, third brother, brother Zhou, you eat slowly." ”

　　After saying that, he put down his dishes and chopsticks and went upstairs.

　　"What's wrong with her?" Su Yanzhi sensed that her sister was unhappy and looked at Zhou Qin doubtfully.

　　"I don't know." Zhou Qin shook his head.

　　After another day, the sky finally cleared, the golden sun shone on the earth, and the humidity after the rain was quickly steamed up into a white mist, and the wind blew away.

　　"Little Brother Su, come and sit here with Brother Yan, let's chat, Brother Yan has something to ask you for advice."

　　After half a day's drive, everyone stopped to rest, and Yan Shaobai jumped down from the carriage and walked toward Qiao Yue and several people.

　　"No, Brother Yan." Su Yanzhi didn't have much good feelings for Yan Shaobai, who pestered Qiao Yue every day, and when he saw that he was empty, he ran over again, and his heart was even more unhappy.

　　"Brother Su, I won't eat your brother, I just want to discuss with him about yesterday's brine chicken feet." Yan Shaobai looked at Su Yanzhi's cold face, and some did not understand why he had been blocking him from talking to Qiao Yue.

　　He touched his face, he didn't look ugly, and he wouldn't scare people, why did Su Yanzhi resist so much?

　　Su Yanzhi snorted, "My brother is a little uncomfortable sitting in the car, and he can't stand the bumps along the way, he will lie on the car to rest, he doesn't have the energy to talk to Brother Yan, and please forgive Brother Yan." ”

　　When Yan Shaobai heard that Qiao Yue was motion sickness again, he immediately said: "Brother Su, why didn't you say earlier, Chang Feng around me is quite skilled, we also brought some medicinal materials from home, I let Chang Feng come and show it to the little brother." ”

　　Su Yanzhi blackened his face, "No! We have medicine! After saying that, he turned to the donkey cart and urged Zhou Qin to leave quickly.

　　On the Yan family's carriage, Yan Tingyu said, "Brother, don't you see that people don't welcome you, what are you still doing?" She looked displeased, this brother, as long as he encountered good food, all the demeanor of everyone was gone."

　　Yan Shaobai frowned, thinking in his heart that he and others had never offended them, how could they be so disliked.

　　However, he turned his head to look at Yan Tingyu and said excitedly: "The craftsmanship of the little brother of the Su family is really a must, yesterday's brine chicken feet and the beef jerky he took out, the taste is too absolute, I have never eaten such a delicious thing!" ”

　　As he spoke, the saliva in his mouth began to secrete wildly, and the worms in his stomach were hooked up again.

54. Chapter 54...

　　I know that my brother has always loved to eat, but when I see him like this, I still feel that I don't see it, and the family man has no shelf for delicious food, and even pastes it on the ground.

　　But....

　　Yan Tingyu's mind floated up Su Yanzhi's gentle and indifferent face, and her heartbeat accelerated by a few points.

　　However, thinking of Su Yanzhi's lukewarm attitude towards herself, Yan Tingyu's eyes flashed with disappointment, she had never seen more than one man, and even took the initiative to talk, he did not see a stunning, admiring expression in Su Yanzhi's eyes, some were just respect and alienation, which made her doubt her own charm.

　　Many of the thoughts of their brothers and sisters Su Yanzhi did not know, he just simply did not like them, Yan Shaobai saw that he was going to pestering Qiao Yue and wanted to rub Qiao Yue's craft, which secretly knew what he had buried.

　　It is not strange that Su Yanzhi thinks of people as dark, but if Qiao Yue is really a teenager, it is just that, but she is not, before going out, her mother repeatedly told him to take good care of his sister, which Yan Shaobai glued over several times and three times is really not reassuring.

　　He sat on the donkey cart and opened the curtain to look inside, Qiao Yue curled up in the carriage with his eyes closed and seemed to be asleep, his palm face was red after sleeping, and the white was red and beautiful.

　　Qiao Yue since removing the birthmark on her face, her appearance has changed dramatically compared with before, after more than half a year of cultivation, the skin color is white and tender to the naked eye, the eyes are like almonds, the eyebrows are like a crescent moon, although she dresses up in men's clothing, she is also a beautiful teenager.

　　Zhou Qin, who was driving the car, saw that Su Yanzhi's expression was different, and looked at him sideways, "Yanzhi, what's wrong?" You seem to have something on your mind. ”

　　"Oh, nothing." Su Yanzhi lowered the curtain and turned his head to look at the Yan family carriage that was following closely behind, "This Yan family brother and sister seem to be a little too enthusiastic." ”

　　Zhou Qin laughed out, he had already seen it, "I don't know if That Yan Dashao really loves to eat the dishes made by Xiao Yue, but I'm pretty sure that Miss Yan has some interest in you." ”

　　Su Yanzhi frowned, "Nonsense, I only know her, how is it possible." ”

　　Zhou Qin smiled and said, "Yan Zhi is handsome and brilliant, and Yan Girl's eyes are wise and pearls." ”

　　Su Yanzhi knocked on Zhou Qin's head, "Say it again, I won't let you eat at noon." ”

　　Zhou Qin hurriedly begged for forgiveness.

　　Qiao Yue did not fall asleep, she shrunk in the thin quilt, her right hand gently rubbed her stomach, from just now her stomach suddenly began to hurt, I don't know if it was because of the wrong thing or because the weather turned cold and some cold.

　　After walking for more than two hours, the sky gradually darkened, the surrounding deserted, do not know how far away from the village, dark is not suitable for rushing, fortunately they have been on the official road, looking for a look found that there is a grass house on the side of the road, not dilapidated, it seems to be specially for passers-by to rest.

　　Su Yanzhi pointed to that side, and Zhou Qin understood, and pulled the reins to drive Yuanbao to that side.

　　Yan Shaobai and the others behind them also followed up, and when they got out of the car, Yan Shaobai said, "Brother Su, why don't you hurry, it's getting dark, we have to rush to the village as soon as possible to spend the night." ”

　　Su Yanzhi didn't want to pay much attention to him, but he still said: "It's late, it's not safe to rush here, we plan to spend the night here." ”

　　Yan Shaobai was a little disapproving, "A few of you don't have the strength to bind the chicken, what if you encounter a villain?" ”

　　Su Yan's way: "I am in the taiping world, and I have never heard anything about evil people hurting people along the way. Su Yanzhi said that there is a certain truth in this remark, in the former dynasty, there were many thieves in the grass and mountains, and it was even more common to rob the house, and later the new emperor ruled the country, using thunderous means to eliminate all the thieves from all over the country, and when they found out together, they would be severely punished together, and if they were exiled, they would be beheaded.

　　Under such a harsh criminal law, there has been almost no similar situation in the past hundred years, although it has not reached the level of nighttime closure, but it is almost the same, moreover, they are on the official road, and almost every official road between townships will be patrolled by horseback at night, and the safety is very high.

　　Yan Shaobai frowned and thought, looking at Chang Feng, "What do you think?" ”

　　Chang Feng said, "Gongzi, it is indeed unsafe to rush at night, there is not even a little spark to be seen here, and the road ahead does not know whether it is good or not, so we might as well rest here and wait for dawn to leave." ”

　　Chang Feng is an all-round talent around Yan Shaobai, who is also proficient in medical skills and cooking skills, and has been protecting the Yan family brothers and sisters for many years.

　　Yan Shaobai nodded, signaled Chang Feng to settle down, reached out and helped Yan Tingyu in the carriage down, and then ran to Qiao Yue's side and said that he wanted to have dinner together in the evening, Qiao Yue felt helpless about this hungry guy, so he agreed to come down.

　　"It's not early, let's hurry up and make a fire to cook." Su Yanzhi saw Yan Shaobai follow Qiao Yue and asked what to eat at night, his face was a little uneasy, after saying a word, he went out with Zhou Qin to collect firewood.

　　"Brother Su, I'll go with you!" Yan Shaobai shouted, and then told Chang Feng to stay and protect Yan Tingyu, and ran over.

　　Qiao Yue walked to the donkey cart and took a few dried sausages and a bunch of dried shiitake mushrooms from the car.

　　Use water from a wooden barrel to scoop up the rice and soak it in a casserole dish.

　　Soon, the three of them returned with a pile of dry firewood.

　　Qiao Yue put aside the washed vegetables, and then went to instruct Su Yanzhi and his two men to carry some stones over and build a simple stove for boiling water.

　　"Little brother, I'll help you." Yan Tingyu walked over with Ya Ping'er, since she ate the food made by others, she couldn't watch it dryly, and she should help.

　　There are these big masters in the hands, Qiao Yue only needs to cook, she shook her head, "Yan girl go to rest, I don't have anything to help here." ”

　　Yan Tingyu smiled, did not walk away, and stood next to Qiao Yue to watch her busy work.

　　On the other side, Chang Feng had already built a pile of fire, and the stone stove was also on fire, and Zhou Qin poured water into the large copper pot and burned it on it.

　　Let Chang Feng cut down the thicker branches and set up a simple shelf on the fire, and Qiao Yue fixed two casserole pots with wire and hung them on the shelf to cook rice.

　　"Third brother, cut the sausages and the soaked shiitake mushrooms." Qiao Yue shouted.

　　"Got it." Su Yanzhi responded and brought over the bamboo basket containing the side dishes.

　　"Brother Su, what is dachshund?" How I haven't seen it. Yan Shaobai leaned over to Su Yanzhi's side to watch him cut the sausage, and curiously picked up a piece and smelled it, a little bit of bacon.

　　He pointed to the transparent membrane on the outside of the sausage and asked, Su Yanzhi saw that he was not wrapped around Qiao Yue, and his face calmed down, "This is made of pig intestines." ”

　　"Ah???" Su Yanzhi's eyes widened, the sausage slice in his hand fell to the ground, su Yanzhi quickly picked it up and poured some water from the kettle to rinse it.

　　"Ah, sorry, I was just so surprised." Yan Shaobai was a little embarrassed.

　　Su Yanzhi could understand him, the pig water had never been eaten in their home before Qiao Yue came, first, because the pig had no oil in the water, and it was also a waste of firewood to stew, and the second was this taste, the internal organs and other things had a special fishy smell, which needed to be washed and kneaded several times with salt, alkali and vinegar to remove the taste.

　　Qiao Yue will do, make not only delicious, but also a lot of tricks, this sausage is Qiao Yue himself made, he has eaten, a unique flavor, very delicious.

　　Listen to Su Yanzhi said that this is a pig intestine, Rao is a Yan Shao white face who has eaten a lot of food is also a little difficult to see, pork is not a precious food, their family is mostly eating chicken, duck, fish and mutton, and this pig offal is not to mention, he has not seen the dinner table when he is so big.

　　I don't know what the brain has made up, Yan Shao's white face is ugly, the throat knot is still rolling.

　　Su Yanzhi saw his appearance and pressed down the corners of his mouth that were about to, Yan Gongzi, I will eat this tonight, if you are not used to eating, you still don't have to force it. ”

　　Yan Shaobai was silent for a long time, and silently approached his carriage.

　　Qiao Yue checked the situation of the casserole, and after the rice was boiled, she immediately made the fire of the fire smaller, covered the lid and began to simmer.

　　The lower abdomen was still faintly painful, Qiao Yue reached out and rubbed it, and Yan Tingyu next to her noticed, "Little brother, is your stomach uncomfortable?" I'll let Chang Feng show you. ”

　　Qiao Yue shook her head, "Thank you, no need." ”

　　Yan Tingyu was rejected by her, and there was no displeasure on her face, she looked at Qiao Yue's side face, the shadow of the throbbing flame fell on her face, and the original white jade face added a hazy color, but it was more delicate and feminine.

　　Yan Tingyu was a little thoughtful, and suddenly said, "The little brother and Su Gongzi are not brothers." She said this affirmatively, Qiao Yue shook the hand of the fire, and said without denial: "How do you know?" ”

　　Yan Tingyu laughed and said, "There are some similarities between the brothers, but the two of you brothers have no similarities at all, not even godlikes." ”

　　Qiao Yue nodded, "I was adopted by my mother." ”

　　Yan Tingyu smiled, she did not expect this answer, only thought they were related.

　　"Sorry, I was rude." Qiao Yue shook her head and said nothing.

　　Yan Tingyu looked at Su Yanzhi, who was cleaning up the dishes over there, and whispered, "Is your third brother, is he married?" ”

　　Qiao Yue's heart moved, under the dim light, she couldn't see the expression of the people, she looked down at the crackling fire, "No, the mother said kiss to the third brother, and the third brother said that he wanted to wait until after the examination of the meritorious name." ”

　　Yan Tingyu's face was joyful, she didn't expect Su Yanzhi to be so self-motivated, and she couldn't help but feel doubly liking.

　　"Third brother, bring the dish over." Opening the lid to see that the rice had been cooked, crystal clear, he looked up and shouted at Su Yanzhi.

　　Su Yanzhi and Zhou Qin walked over with a few bowls.

　　Su Yanzhi's sausage cut is not the first time, he likes to eat, so he often let Qiao Yue make it.

　　Uncover the lid of the casserole, put the sausage flakes on the side, and put the shiitake mushrooms into it, cover the lid and pick up the oil pot and drizzle a circle of sesame oil along the side of the lid, this step is to make the pot in the pot more fragrant.

　　Continuing to smoulder with a small fire, Qiao Yue went to the side to prepare the sauce, the aroma slowly emerged from the casserole, the unique salty aroma of the sausage and the taste of shiitake mushrooms blended together perfectly, and Zhou Qin and Su Yanzhi, who were sitting next to them, could not control their tongues.

　　"Yummy!" Yan Shaobai, who was sitting next to the carriage, also smelled the smell, and his stomach grunted, but when he thought of Su Yanzhi's pig intestines, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

55. Chapter 55...

　　Looking at the time is almost up, Qiao Yue put the hot greens on the rice, and the prepared sauce was poured evenly on it, and suddenly the aroma became more intense, and even Chang Feng, who had been expressionless, couldn't help but move his nose and look at it.

　　"It's time to eat." Qiao Yue shouted and took a wooden shovel and first filled a bowl for Yan Tingyu.

　　"Thank you." Yan Tingyu thanked her, but she didn't see her brother, she swept around strangely, and found that Yan Shaobai, who had always loved to eat, did not come over.

　　Yan Tingyu raised an eyebrow, "Brother, it's time to eat." ”

　　Yan Shaobai saw that his sister didn't know anything, and he lifted his feet and walked over to try to tell her, but his eyes straightened as he approached the scent of rice on his back.

　　"Well, it's delicious." Yan Tingyu tasted a bite of dachshund, salty and chewy, every time she chewed the grease would flow between her lips and teeth, delicious and people couldn't help but want to swallow it with their tongues.

　　"Sister, this sausage..." Yan Shaobai wanted to tell his sister the truth, but he saw that they were all satisfied with what they had eaten, and swallowed the words to his throat.

　　"Dude, it tastes good." The taciturn Chang Feng held the half-eaten bowl and looked at Yan Shaobai doubtfully.

　　Su Yanzhi knew what was going on, he couldn't help but smile, and said in a loud voice: "Yan Gongzi, haven't you always loved to eat, this is the delicacy of my fourth brother's hand, casserole pot rice, it's a pity that you don't try it!" ”

　　Several people were happy to eat with bowls, Yan Shaobai pursed his lips for a while, still could not resist the temptation of this fragrance, and walked over to fill a bowl.

　　The most essential place of the pot rice is the pot at the bottom of the pot, Yan Shaobai saw the golden oil of the pot, so he shoveled half a piece.

　　"Yan Gongzi, how does it taste?" Su Yan asked, and when Yan Shaobai looked up at him, he clipped a piece of dachshund and put it in his mouth.

　　Yan Shaobai paused, silently pulled the dachshund in the bowl to the side, took a bite of the crispy pot, his eyes lit up, praised the delicious taste, and then ate it without looking up.

　　Two large pots of rice, seven people can only eat a seven-point full, especially several men can eat, not a single grain of rice in the pot is shoveled.

　　Qiao Yue knew that they had not eaten well, so he made a large pot of green vegetables and egg flower soup, and the four big men had two bowls of soup in a row, and finally had enough to eat and drink.

　　The people who arranged the vigil, they packed up a little and rested.

　　The next morning, Qiao Yue and Ping'er took the pots and pans to the pond to clean.

　　Qiao Yue's face was a little pale, and her empty right hand had been rubbing her sore stomach.

　　"Little brother, how did you make so many delicious things, did you learn from a famous teacher?" Yan Shaobai was completely conquered by Qiao Yue's craftsmanship, he felt that Qiao Yue would definitely make a lot of strange delicacies, he crouched down and watched Qiao Yue wash the dishes and asked.

　　Last night my stomach hurt all night, I don't know what was going on, at this time Qiao Yue didn't have the spirit to talk to him, and casually said two words to prevaricate.

　　At this time, Yan Shaobai found that there was something wrong with her face, and he closed the smile on her face and cared: "Little brother, are you uncomfortable anywhere, why is your face so ugly?" ”

　　The pain in her lower abdomen suddenly intensified, Qiao Yue's face became whiter, and she shook her head in pain, "My stomach is a little uncomfortable, maybe I'm cold." ”

　　Yan Shaobai said solemnly, "Hurry back, I'll let Chang Feng show you." ”

　　This time Qiao Yue did not refuse, and there was indeed something wrong with the stomach pain for such a long time.

　　Handing the pot and bowl to Ping'er, Qiao Yue stood up and walked back with Yan Shaobai.

　　"Little brother, this body discomfort must be rushed.... ay! Only a few steps away, Yan Shaobai in front of him heard a strange movement behind him, and as soon as he turned back, he saw Qiao Yue falling to the ground softly, and he had already fainted.

　　"Little brother! Little brother wake up! Yan Shaobai quickly lifted the person up and shouted a few times toward the resting place.

　　"It's the voice of a prince!" Chang Feng's martial arts skills were also unusual, and when he heard this voice, his face changed and he immediately rushed over.

　　Su Yanzhi's expression also changed, and Qiao Yue went over there to wash the pots and dishes.

　　Dropping a sentence to let Zhou Qin stay where he was, Su Yanzhi picked up his robe and ran after him.

　　"Little Moon!" As soon as I ran there, I saw Yan Shaobai holding Qiao Yue with his eyes closed in his arms and not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

　　Su Yanzhi was frightened and pale, ran forward to grab Qiao Yue, and shouted anxiously.

　　The three of them walked to the same place, Yan Shaobai followed behind, and said: "Only then did she say that her stomach hurt, I asked her to go back to show Chang Feng, but she didn't expect to take a few steps and she fell down." ”

　　Seeing that Su Yanzhi's forehead was sweating and his lips were trembling, Yan Shaobai knew that he was worried and anxious, and hurriedly said: "Brother Su don't worry, Fang Cai Changfeng has already given him a pulse, there is no worry about his life, just fainted." ”

　　The three of them returned to the same place, Zhou Qin saw him holding Qiao Yue, he was also startled, and quickly took out a blanket from the carriage and spread it on the ground to help Su Yanzhi put Qiao Yue on the ground.

　　"Little Moon! Little moon you wake up! Su Yanzhi shook Qiao Yue a few times, saw that she did not respond, and reached out and pinched her among the people.

　　After a moment, Qiao Yue opened her eyes slightly.

　　Seeing her wake up, Su Yanzhi gave a sigh and carefully lifted her up to take a few sips of the water handed by Zhou Qin.

　　"Xiao Yue, you are scared to death of the third brother, why don't you tell me if something happens to you, how can I explain it to my mother?"

　　Su Yan's eye circles were a little red, he had never seen Qiao Yue look so weak, Qiao Yue's pale face revealed a smile, "I'm sorry, let the third brother worry." ”

　　Yan Shaobai beside him said, "Hurry up and let Chang Feng show you the pulse, illness is not a trivial matter." Fang Cai Changfeng had already told him that Qiao Yue was a daughter, and after being surprised, Yan Shaobai quickly accepted it.

　　Qiao Yue didn't know his identity only Yan Tingyu and Ping'er didn't know, and there were still some worries about exposing his identity, but at this time, he couldn't take care of it, so he held out his hand, "Chang Gongzi, trouble you." ”

　　Chang Feng nodded, sat on the ground to give Qiao Yue a pulse, he had already taken a pulse before, knowing that Qiao Yue was a woman dressed as a man, at this time did not show any strange expression, but after a moment, his face became strange.

　　"Brother Chang, do you see anything?" What is the disease? Su Yanzhi saw that his expression was not right, and asked nervously.

　　"Cough!" Chang Feng coughed and looked a little embarrassed.

　　"Chang Feng, what's going on?" Hurry up and say it. Yan Shaobai rarely saw his hesitant look, thinking that Qiao Yue had some serious problem, and urged.

　　Seeing that the six pairs of eyes were all staring at him, Chang Feng's expression became more and more unnatural, and one pair of eyes did not know where to look.

　　Seeing him like this, Qiao Yue couldn't help but worry, thinking that she was seriously ill, she couldn't help but say, "Chang Gongzi, look at what you say it's okay." ”

　　Despite saying this, Chang Feng still felt that it was a little difficult to talk about, it was really the first time he had encountered this situation, and it was really embarrassing to say it in front of many people.

　　Just after several people urged a few more times, Chang Feng's eyes fluttered and said, "It's not a big problem, it's the symptom of abdominal pain before coming to Kuishui." He said this very quickly, but everyone could hear it clearly when they were close.

　　Aoi, Aoi water ?!!

　　Qiao Yue's face suddenly froze, his eyes widened as he stared at Chang Feng, and his lips moved a few times and he couldn't say anything.

　　Not only her, but also Su Yanzhi, Yan Shaobai and Zhou Qin all froze, as if they had been made to fix their bodies.

　　The surroundings seemed to come to a standstill even as if the air had stopped.

　　"Twitter, twitter!" Suddenly a few sparrows in the treetops cried out, breaking the eerie and awkward silence.

　　"Cough! Cough cough cough! Brother Su, the hour is not early, we should hurry! Yan Shaobai dropped a sentence with an embarrassed expression, and did not look at Qiao Yue pulling his sister away quickly.

　　Qiao Yue only wanted to find a seam to drill into at this time, she didn't think about it at all, in the past life, she was sixteen years old to come to menstruation, and now this body is only thirteen years old, she didn't expect it!

　　Rao is that she has lived two lifetimes, and such embarrassment cannot be resolved in an instant.

　　Although Su Yanzhi was also embarrassed, he still cared about his sister, his face was a little red, and he helped Qiao Yue to stand up, "Little sister, I will help you go to the car to rest." ”

　　"Hmm." Qiao Yue nodded, his eyes staring at the ground and being helped by Zhou Qin to get into the donkey cart.

　　Although Zhou Qin had been grinning widely, he couldn't help but feel hot in the face when he encountered this kind of thing, so he neatly packed up his things and put them in the back of the carriage, jumped on the shelf, drank and rushed to the Yuanbao and ran forward.

　　It was almost noon when they finally saw a small town.

　　Qiao Yue got out of the car to inquire about it and ran to the sewing shop.

　　"Sister Moon!" Suddenly, a voice came from behind him, and Qiao Yue turned his head, only to see Yan Tingyu hurriedly walking over.

　　Qiao Yue's identity had been exposed, Yan Tingyu generously called Qiao Yue's sister, she stepped forward and smiled: "My sister is uncomfortable and should not move much, I will go to help my sister buy." ”

　　She showed kindness, Qiao Yue did not refuse, her stomach was still hurting, and she just wanted to hurry up and go back to rest after buying things. Thanking her, she pointed to the medical hall on the side and said, "Then it will be trouble for Sister Yan, I will go to the medical center to buy some medicine." After saying that, he stuffed a piece of silver into Yan Tingyu's hand and ran to the opposite medical hall.

　　Half an hour later, Qiao Yue and Yan Tingyu returned to the rest inn.

　　Back in the room, Qiao Yue quickly began to sew the menstrual belt, Yan Tingyu bought the best black cotton and cotton, was sewing, heard someone knocking on the door outside the house, it was Su Yanzhi.

　　"Third brother, what's the matter?" Qiao Yue opened the door and asked.

　　Su Yanzhi touched his head, "I'll go and give you medicine." ”

　　Qiao Yue was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Su Yanzhi to be so intimate, she showed a smile, turned back to carry a bag of medicine in Su Yanzhi's hand.

　　"Trouble third brother, thank you."

　　Su Yanzhi heard her thank you, and her expression was a little unhappy, "I will be angry when you say such a foreign word again, we are a family, and I should take care of you." ”

　　Qiao Yue felt warm in her heart, and the original trace of embarrassment was gone, she smiled and squinted, "Well, I won't say it later." ”

　　Su Yanzhi nodded his head and went downstairs with the medicine bag.

　　Two days later, the crowd set off again.

　　Qiao Yuesheng lay lovelessly in the carriage.

　　She didn't expect that menstruation would be so embarrassing in ancient times.

　　With the bumps of the car, a burst of warmth spread under her, and in order to prevent the most embarrassing situation from happening, she went out and bought a pair of black profane pants to wear inside, and a black cushion was also placed underneath.

　　In this way, she still has to stop a donkey cart once in an hour, and this face has become thicker several times, as long as she does not feel embarrassed, the embarrassment is someone else, Qiao Yue strives to do psychological construction for herself, otherwise this embarrassment is afraid to become a shadow in her heart.

　　In order to take care of Qiao Yue's body, Zhou Qin's daily speed of catching the car was reduced, and no matter whether it was dark or not, he always did not leave when he encountered the village and town.

　　This delayed for another three or four days, and in the blink of an eye entered October.

　　After a month, the group finally stepped into the boundaries of the capital.

　　As soon as he arrived in the capital, Chang Feng rode his horse alone to the city.

　　Qiao Yue and the others found an inn on the outskirts of Kyoto and stayed.

　　"Brother Su, I don't know where you plan to settle down?" At dinner, Yan Shaobai asked.

　　Su Yanzhi looked at Qiao Yue and replied, "I don't know yet, we have people in Kyoto, and we will make plans after we enter the city tomorrow." ”

　　"Oh?" Yan Shaobai raised an eyebrow, not expecting Su Yanzhi to have relatives in the capital, he couldn't help but be interested and asked whose home it was.

　　The place to stay was arranged by Qiao Yue, Su Yanzhi was not very clear, Qiao Yue did not hide it, and said: "We know the treasurer of the 'Thousand Compilations and Thousands of Paintings' workshop in the capital. ”

　　Yan Shaobai heard that this seemed to be the name of a shop, and had never heard of it, so he nodded and said, "That's the way it is." ”

　　Yan Shaobai's maternal grandfather, Nguyen's family, was in Kyoto, and Chang Feng had gone into the city to inform the government.

　　The Nguyen family is also well-known in Kyoto, and Yan Shaobai has two uncles, one is a servant of the bureaucracy and the other serves in the Hanlin Temple, both of which are deeply respected by His Majesty.

　　The next morning, the Ruan family sent a carriage to pick up the Yan brothers and sisters.

　　"Brother Su, if we have a chance to meet again, we must let me have a few drinks." Yan Shaobai was very cool, and after more than half a month of getting along, several people also became friends.

　　Su Yanzhi smiled in response, Yan Tingyu looked at Su Yanzhi as if she had a thousand words to say, but after touching Su Yanzhi's faint expression, the look in her eyes dimmed, and she knew that Su Yanzhi did not mean anything to herself.

　　After saying goodbye lightly, Yan Tingyu put away her lost mood and got into the carriage.

　　Seeing that the carriage was far away, Qiao Yue said, "Third brother, elder brother Zhou, let's go to the shop to see, as soon as possible to find a place to stay." ”

　　Su Yanzhi nodded, several people called a carriage and said the place with the coachman, the coachman smiled and promised to be delivered to the destination, a horse whip, "snapped", the horse stepped forward.

　　The Thousand Compilations and Painting Workshop is located in a market on the west side of the capital, although it is not as lively as the center of the city, but it is located in the imperial city, so the street is also very lively.

　　About half an hour later, the carriage entered the market and stopped at a place where the car was parked, Qiao Yue and a few people got off the car, paid the front of the car, the coachman pointed out the location of the shop to them, and several people thanked them and went straight to the shop.

56. Chapter 56.

　　Chapter 53

　　The rapid rise of the Thousands of Painting Workshops this year, small in the capital is famous, Qiao Yue and a few people on the way to the shop can still see a girl carrying a rattan or bamboo bag.

　　"Yanzhi, I didn't expect the capital to be so lively!"

　　Zhou Qin, who was walking next to Su Yanzhi, looked around curiously, and on both sides of the street were shops one after another, and there were some small stalls on the ground.

　　The shouts of vendors, the warm hospitality of shopkeepers and the sound of people chatting back and forth, the whole street is very lively, and you can't see the end of the street at a glance.

　　Su Yanzhi's eyes were also full of novelty, and he smiled: "Zhou Qin, do you really want to live here?" ”

　　Zhou Qin nodded, "Of course, this is at the foot of Tianzi, who doesn't want to live here?"

　　"Then it depends on the next year's test, if you can win, then become a petty official in Beijing, and take over the family members, then it is the best."

　　Su Yanzhi's tone was full of beauty, and Zhou Qin couldn't help but fantasize about it.

　　Qiao Yue was more curious than they were, Su Yanzhi and Zhou Qin were readers, although they had never seen such a big world, they wanted to save face and identity, so they just waited and talked quietly.

　　Qiao Yue can't take care of so much, she is still the first time to see such a lively street market, the capital is the capital in the end, just the decoration of the shop, from the outside it is richer than the state and county atmosphere seen along the way.

　　She stared at the people who came and went, and saw that the people were obviously dressed much better than them, and the workmanship and style of the clothes were very fashionable.

　　Looking at the stalls and shops, everything she had sold was something she had never seen before, and she had to go up to find out, and in a few moments she was carrying several small paper bags.

　　Su Yanzhi and Zhou Qin also chatted, but found that Qiao Yue did not know where to go.

　　"Where did this girl go?" Su Yanzhi frowned and patted his head in chagrin, "They all blame me for saying it too intently and not looking at her." ”

　　He stood anxiously in the same place and searched around, Zhou Qin was not so anxious as he was, he folded his sleeves, smiled, and said: "Yanzhi, don't worry too much, Xiao yue must be too novel, this may be hooked by some fun and delicious food." ”

　　As he spoke, the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of the familiar clothes, and he reached out a finger, "Oh, buy sugar gourds there." ”

　　Su Yanzhi looked down at his finger and saw that at the mouth of the alley on the side of the street, Qiao Yue was buying sugar gourds with the same old man.

　　Su Yanzhi relaxed his mind, and the two of them went to the side of the road to wait, and after a while they saw her carrying a sugar gourd and carrying seven or eight small paper bags.

　　Zhou Qin looked interesting, elbowed Su Yanzhi, Nunu mouthed, "Look, Xiaoyue sister will only look like a twelve- or thirteen-year-old little girl." ”

　　Love to eat and play, this is like a teenage girl, since knowing Qiao Yue, she talks and acts like an adult thoughtfully, so that they have a sense of self-shame.

　　Now look at her lively and cute appearance like this, I feel strange.

　　Su Yanzhi also had this idea, Qiao Yue was the youngest child in their family, but she was smarter than their brothers, and the family had gone from being poor to the green brick houses, eating and drinking without worry, which was the idea she came up with.

　　She has been busy with the family business, rarely goes out to play, rarely follows herself out and has the problem of motion sickness, and she has suffered a crime along the way.

　　Seeing her running over with a smile, Su Yanzhi couldn't help but smile involuntarily.

　　"Third brother, big brother Zhou, eat sugar gourd, but it is delicious."

　　Qiao Yue bit the sugar gourd and said vaguely, passing the two strings in his hand.

　　Sugar gourds are the best-selling street food every winter, and Qiao Yue only has half left when he first bought them.

　　The rock sugar is crisp and sweet, the hawthorn is moderately sweet and sour, and the taste is very good.

　　Su Yanzhi and Zhou Qin shook their heads at the same time, "You eat, where are the big men who eat this." ”

　　Qiao Yue was also not polite, withdrew his hand and went forward happily.

　　The Thousand Editors And Thousands of Paintings is located at the end of the fast street, although the location is not very good, but the luxurious decoration of the two stores is very eye-catching.

　　Qiao Yue stood at the door, saw a lot of people coming in and out of the store, and stood under the big tree diagonally opposite and waited for a while.

　　About the time of two teas, Qiao Yue ate the last sugar gourd, saw that the shop was idle, and said, "Let's go in." ”

　　"Little treasurer, do you think today's business is still successful?"

　　Today, a batch of hand stove covers with new patterns were put on, and the girls and girls from all over the house came early in the morning, and they were busy until now they could finally catch their breath.

　　Qiu Liang walked to the counter with the tea bowl and smiled.

　　"Well, it's not bad." The man who spoke was a young man of about twenty years of age, sitting on a high stool behind the counter and looking at the ledger in a dignified manner.

　　Although their shop is not well located, the monthly income is no less than that of those in prime locations.

　　Qiu Niang asked, "Miss Fang Cai Liu's personal maid, come and ask when the cartoon cat's tricks will arrive." ”

　　As soon as the words came out, a few little ladies in the shop also gathered around, and said with all their tongues: "Yes, yes, little treasurer, when will we put on a new pattern in the shop, the bags with the patterns painted in the shop are sold out." ”

　　"And when will the new book cage in our store be painted with a new look, and why hasn't the treasurer come here?"

　　The little ladies in the shop had sharp teeth and crisp voices, and the young man who asked had no time to speak.

　　The leading Qiu Niang saw the young man frowning, and quickly waved his hand: "Knowing that, the little treasurer will arrange it, you hurry to receive customers, don't gather around here." ”

　　As the leader of the shop, Qiu Niang was still a little majestic, and as soon as she opened her mouth, the little ladies all scattered.

　　The teenager known as the little treasurer was about to speak when he saw Qiao Yue and a few people come straight over.

　　"Hello, I've come to see your treasurer."

　　Qiao Yue walked straight to the two of them and explained his intentions.

　　Although she had never seen the treasurer of this shop, because of the business, the sun boss through the county town had exchanged several letters and exchanged portraits, so she was also familiar with it.

　　"Who are you?" Qiu Niang and the teenager looked at each other and asked, she looked at the three people, felt very fresh, looked at the rich and noble family dressed like the capital, this opening will see the treasurer, I don't know what they mean.

　　Qiao Yue saw that they didn't know themselves, and didn't think much about it, so he said their identities.

　　"Before I came, Boss Sun wrote a letter to your treasurer."

　　Hearing Qiao Yue say that he was the founder of the new pattern of the shop, both of them looked surprised, but still kept suspicious, the teenager's name was Wu Youjiang, he stared at Qiao Yue's face and looked at it carefully, and Han Yan said: "You nonsense, Qiao girl I know, it is not your appearance at all." ”

　　This sentence stunned Qiao Yue, she touched her face, and suddenly remembered that she had a large birthmark on her face before, or a short hair at shoulder length, and this year had passed, and her appearance had indeed changed a lot.

　　Just as he was about to explain, Wu Youjiang waved his hand impatiently, "The treasurer is not there, if you don't buy something, please leave." ”

　　Zhou Qin couldn't see his arrogant appearance, and immediately stood up and pointed at him and said, "What do you mean, do you think we are impersonating?" ”

　　Wu Youjiang was very dismissive, looking up and down at him in a coarse cloth and linen coat, and when he looked at them, he knew that he was a very ordinary poor scholar who dared to point fingers when he came to the capital.

　　"Come on people, get them out!"

　　Wu Youjiang believed that Qiao Yue was impersonating, stood up and shouted, only to see two people who had been in the corner of the shop walking quickly and push the three people out.

　　"Hey, what are you doing?" Qiao Yue was also angry, and Chong Qiu Niang said, "You are too much! ”

　　"Be careful!" Qiao Yue was pushed so hard that she almost fell, Su Yanzhi quickly reached out to support her, and rushed to the second person: "Your treasurer is not there, this is how you treat guests?" ”

　　The two guys who pushed the guy snorted and turned into the bunk.

　　Qiao Yue didn't expect to encounter such a thing, standing at the door and smiling bitterly: "Let's come back another day." ”

　　Zhou Qin frowned and sorted out the somewhat messy clothes that had been pulled, "Who is this boy, so arrogant?" ”

　　Qiao Yue shook her head, she only and Boss Wu through a few business letters, but did not understand the thousands of times the story of the workshop, so did not know, and then although I have seen the portrait of Boss Wu, but the black and white portrait is no better than the modern high-definition picture, it is already very good to recognize people.

　　Although this Wu Youjiang was the son of Boss Wu, Qiao Yue did not see it.

　　"Forget it, let's go back, they don't know us, and the treasurer is not there, so we might as well come back another day." Su Yanzhi saw that Qiao Yue's hair was a little scattered, and reached out to sort it out for her.

　　"Thank you brother." Qiao Yue thanked him, looked at the store, and said helplessly: "Let's go back first." ”

　　Looking at the back of the three people leaving, Qiu Niang said with some uncertainty: "Little treasurer, how can you be so sure that the girl just now is not our second treasurer?" ”

　　Because Qiao Yue had dividends in the store, they called Qiao Yue's second treasurer.

　　Wu Youjiang took a sip of tea from the cup of tea and said: "I have seen the portrait of the second treasurer, there is such a large birthmark on the face, even the hair is short, to be honest, the appearance is really not good." Although the girl just said that she was not a national color, she was also beautiful and beautiful, and she was very different from the portrait, and it was not at first glance. ”

　　Qiu Niang nodded and stopped talking.

　　After returning to the inn, several people went back to their rooms to rest.

　　At noon the next day, Su Yanzhi and Zhou Qin were reading and writing in the room, while Qiao Yue took a pen and paper and continued to draw the unfinished pattern.

　　"Boom boom boom!" There was a knock at the door, and Zhou Qin asked who was answering, and it was the guy at the inn who answered.

　　Qiao Yue walked over to open the door, only to see that in addition to the guys at the inn, there were several people standing outside. The middle-aged man who is the leader of the group is smiling and looking at the appearance of Boss Wu of the Thousand Compilations and Thousands of Painting Workshops.

　　"Oh, it's Aunt Joe, I'll be lucky!" Boss Wu smiled and greeted Qiao Yue like a Maitreya Buddha.

　　Qiao Yue recognized the person and reached out to invite someone into the house.

　　"Stinky boy, don't go in and apologize for making tea for Aunt Joe!" Boss Wu reached out and pulled his son's ear, kicked him on the butt again, and kicked the person into the room.

　　"And the two of you, don't go in and make amends for Aunt Joe." Yesterday, the two pushers shrank their necks in response and cautiously entered the door.

57. Chapter 57... ......

　　Qiao Yue and the three of them sat at the table, and Wu Youjiang respectfully apologized to Qiao Yue for pouring tea under the pressure of his father.

　　"Miss Qiao, this matter is all Wu Mou's no, did not explain the matter clearly, yesterday you were wronged."

　　Boss Wu is sincerely apologetic.

　　Qiao Yue is the god of wealth to their shop, and their shop was still in a lonely and nameless state more than a year ago.

　　Since the launch of a series of new products of bamboo weaving and rattan weaving sent from his cousin in Hong'an County, Sun Yuan, the income in their store has suddenly increased, and after a year of operation, the store's revenue is increasing every month, and some limited products in the store have been robbed as soon as they appear.

　　Now they not only make bamboo and rattan weaving, but also have novel variety of tricks that are also deeply liked by the girls and ladies in Beijing, especially cartoon animals, which are also popular in Beijing.

　　And all this is brought by this ordinary-looking little girl.

　　Boss Wu knows that Qiao Yue is a piece of gold, and her various whimsical ideas can make any store crazy.

　　Since their store went on fire, there have been countless people who have inquired about the sources of these ideas, and some people are even willing to pay a sky-high price to dig people up.

　　But Boss Wu is extremely strict about this, and even to his family, he has not revealed too much information about Qiao Yue, for fear of being exploited by others to poach Qiao Yue.

　　Qiao Yue is also not an unforgiving character, and seeing their sincere attitude, he did not make much calculations.

　　When Boss Wu saw this, the big stone in his heart was put down. Before he came, he was worried about whether Qiao Yue would break off cooperation with them in one breath, but he didn't expect that although Qiao Yue was young, he had a big heart and did not make it difficult for them.

　　The atmosphere eased, Boss Wu stood up from the stool and smiled: "Today Wu Moute came to atone for his sins, and has prepared a table of water and wine in the restaurant. ”

　　Qiao Yue looked at Su Yanzhi and Zhou Qin, and seeing that the two had no objections, they all said a few polite words and went out of the inn with Boss Wu and others.

　　After a meal, the relationship between the people has also become very harmonious, boss Wu has been in the business field for a long time, and his ability to treat people and things is first-class.

　　After the meal, the group followed Boss Wu to Pomegranate Alley.

　　"The environment here is quiet, surrounded by people who live in their own homes, close to the market, and it is very convenient to buy things."

　　Several people got off the carriage at the alley and went inside, and Boss Wu led the way in front of him while explaining.

　　"The house is big and the three of you are more than enough to live in."

　　Qiao Yue looked around while walking, the alley is not narrow, there is still room for three people to walk side by side, the houses on both sides are green brick and tile houses, although not like the rich and noble homes, but also more luxurious than ordinary people's homes.

　　As the name suggests, this pomegranate tree is found in almost every house, and it is winter, and the trees have become bare, but there are few fallen leaves on the ground

　　After walking a cup of tea, several people came to a house with locked doors.

　　Boss Wu's son took out a bunch of keys and went forward to open the door, and Boss Wu smiled and said, "Miss Qiao, this is it, please go inside and have a look." ”

　　The house is a courtyard style, with a small yard, clean very clean, push open the door to see the furniture and furnishings are readily available, you can carry a bag to move in.

　　"Miss Joe, are you still satisfied?" Boss Wu took them around and smiled and asked Qiao Yue.

　　Standing in the courtyard and sweeping around, the location of this house is good, the environment is good, the important thing is that the newness of the house is also very good, it seems that this Wu boss is also bothered.

　　"Very satisfied, Boss Wu has worked hard." Qiao Yue calmly thanked him, not at all like a dirt bun from the countryside, even if the kitchen here was larger than their room in their hometown.

　　Su Yanzhi and Zhou Qin were not familiar with Boss Wu, so they only watched Qiao Yue and Boss Wu greet each other politely.

　　Zhou Qin pulled the person aside and whispered, "Brother Su, do you understand what business Sister Xiaoyue is doing?" From the inn to see Boss Wu and others to Qiao Yue compensation is not, and then to this carefully prepared house, look at the Boss Wu carefully said some flattering expressions, Zhou Qin quickly felt that he did not know Qiao Yue.

　　Su Yanzhi is a little embarrassed, he rarely cares about the big and small things in the family when he is at home, his mother and brother have always taken good care of him, he just needs to study hard, and then the little sister helps the family conditions to become better, the family built a new house to start a business, and the only headache of silver money problems was also solved.

　　Originally, his relationship with Qiao Yue was not very good, and he knew very little about her affairs, Su Yanzhi only knew that Qiao Yue had made some strange things to sell for money, and he knew about the bamboo weaving that cooperated with the county, but the specific situation was not understood.

　　"You see the expression on Boss Wu's face, it's clearly flattering." Zhou Qin sighed and patted Su Yanzhi's shoulder, "It's a bit a bit that our two big masters actually want a little girl to take care of..."

　　Su Yanzhi sipped his lips, and the fool also knew that the owner of this shop was so careful to arrange it, all because of Qiao Yue. And as Qiao Yue's brother, he couldn't take care of his sister, and he didn't even understand his sister's affairs.

　　In the past few months, he had found that Qiao Yue seemed to have a lot of secrets, and her words and deeds, and her manners and manners were not at all like that of a little girl who had lived in the countryside since childhood.

　　Talking to a rich and noble man like Boss Wu is not timid at all, and the appearance of falling generously seems to be accustomed to the world.

　　Before leaving, his mother repeatedly told him to take good care of his sister, and now it seems that they have been under the care of their younger sister.

　　The shackles of reading and the entanglement of going out, although it was given by the mother, but the silver was always from Qiao Yue.

　　It was already a lifter, but he was still spending his sister's money, which made Su Yanzhi feel frustrated.

　　With a bitter laugh, Su Yanzhi said, "It seems that my brother is really too unqualified." ”

　　Zhou Qin couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw his expression, he knew what Su Yanzhi was thinking, and comforted: "When you have a high school official with Feng Lu, you can take the eldest lady and them to enjoy the blessings." ”

　　Su Yanzhi snorted, and when he saw Qiao Yue and a few people walking towards the door, he also followed.

　　"Miss Qiao, this is the key you put away, I will let Youjiang go to the inn to help you move the ceremony over." Boss Wu confessed to his son.

　　"Got it, Dad." Wu Youjiang quickly nodded in agreement.

　　Qiao Yue thanked him, and Boss Wu said that there was something in the store and left, so that Qiao Yue and they settled down and went to the store to find him.

　　Because I lived in the inn, the luggage was not taken apart, and it was easy to move. Moving things to the donkey cart, someone drove the donkey cart to the new residence, and the three of them sorted it out at home.

　　"Third brother, elder brother Zhou, it's time for dinner."

　　Qiao Yue stretched out her head from the kitchen and shouted, and the two people who were tidying up in the back room answered, put down the matter at hand and walked out of the room.

　　"There's a bit of a rush today, and I'll just make a few simple meals." Qiao Yue brought the dishes to the table, only a pot of radish roast meat and two plates of small dishes brought from home.

　　Although it is a simple dish, but because of the meat, it does not feel shabby, Su Yanzhi shook his head: "This is already very good, hard work for you." "He has only suffered from people, and he has not seen meat in his family several times a year, but now he can eat meat every day, and he is very satisfied."

　　"Third brother, what are you going to do tomorrow?" Qiao Yue asked.

　　Su Yanzhi took a bite of a snow-white radish, the radish was soft but not rotten and soaked in gravy, and the water was sweet and delicious. He looked at Zhou Qin and said, "Today I inquired with Brother Wu, not far from here, there is a gentleman who opens a college to teach students who enter Beijing to take the exam, and tomorrow we plan to go and see." ”

　　Reading is the top priority, they rushed for more than a month, all the way bumpy pages did not read much into it, seeing that it was getting closer and closer to the test, the two could not help but get nervous.

　　No, I inquired with Wu Youjiang today, and Wu Youjiang excitedly said after learning that both of them were people and said that he would personally take them to Mr. Yuan's academy tomorrow.

　　Qiao Yue nodded and said, "Then I will go to the market tomorrow to buy some items needed by the family, and if you have anything you lack, I will buy it back together." ”

　　Both of them shook their heads, and Zhou Qin said with some concern: "I am not familiar with life here, and we are a little uneasy about you going alone, so it is better that we accompany you tomorrow." ”

　　Qiao Yue smiled brightly and said, "It's all right, I can do it alone, brothers, just rest assured." Her tone was confident, Zhou Qin nodded and said nothing more, to tell the truth, Zhou Qin always had an inexplicable trust in Qiao Yue, it seemed that as long as she said that there was no problem, it must be no problem.

　　The next day.

　　The weather in Beijing was much colder than Hong'an's, and as soon as dawn came, the big roosters raised by the surrounding households cried out in anger.

　　Qiao Yue woke up and shrunk in the quilt for a while, got up and went to the kitchen in a thick cotton coat.

　　Su Yanzhi lived next door to Qiao Yue, he had always slept lightly, and when he heard the movement, he also got up.

　　"Third brother, how did you get up?" Why not get more sleep? Qiao Yue was meeting with each other, when he saw Su Yanzhi come in to fetch water to wash up, he said.

　　"Get up and see if there's anything you can do to help." Su Yanzhi smiled slightly, wrung out the hot towel and wiped the water off his face.

　　Although he didn't do much housework, he wasn't the kind of person who hung on his lips and was a gentleman who cooked far away, Qiao Yue was still a little girl, and he got up cold and cooked on the fire, how could he, a big master, enjoy it with peace of mind.

　　Qiao Yue was also not polite, nodded his head and said Ha, and then directed him to go to the stove to cook porridge.

　　When Qiao Yue drove the donkey cart out the door, the sun had already risen, and the golden sunlight sprinkled on her body was very comfortable.

　　After two trips yesterday, she had already memorized the way to the Thousand Compilations And Thousands of Painting Workshops, admiring the bustling corner of Kyoto along the way, and slowly driving the Yuanbao past.

　　"Miss Joe, here you are!" Just arrived at the door of the store, the little girl with sharp eyes in the store immediately told Boss Wu, and Boss Wu greeted him with a smile.

　　Giving the yuanbao to the guy in the shop and leading it aside, Qiao Yue responded with a smile and walked into the shop.

　　"Miss Joe, do you think our shop is okay?" Boss Wu took Qiao Yue around the store, today the weather is good and sunny, there are many people who come out shopping, there are already many people in the store, and the little girls who receive them are introduced one by one.

　　Qiao Yue followed him around the shop and said, "Boss Wu, you just need to call me Qiao Yue." ”

　　"Hey, good! Well, that little moon you call me Uncle Wu. Boss Wu's smiling face blossomed.

　　"Okay, Uncle Wu." After walking around, Qiao Yuemi saw a wide variety of goods in the store, both elegant and customary, and somewhat similar to modern boutiques, and the things that the ladies often make here are available.

　　"Shopkeeper, how does this book cage sell?" A young man in the shape of a scholar asked carrying a book cage with an indigo bamboo forest pattern.

　　"The prince likes, this book cage fifteen two silver." Boss Wu's son greeted him with great eyesight, and in the past two days, he was well □□ by his father, and his back was still in pain.

　　"So expensive!" The scholar's eyes widened, "There is nothing strange about this book cage, my hometown only sells five or two, and the things in beijing are too expensive!" ”

　　Wu Youjiang took the book cage from his hand, opened the lid on it and said: "Gongzi, you can rest assured that the things in our shop will never deceive customers, you look at the inside of the book cage, the use of the best waterproof material, delicate soft and durable, you carry, even if it is heavy rain, the book paper inside will not be wet." ”

　　The scholar listened and watched, and was moved by his series of fancy words, and finally when he left, he not only bought a book cage but also bought several other small items, and painfully paid twenty-two out of the store.

　　Boss Wu and Qiao Yue sat behind the counter, and when they saw the situation, Boss Wu nodded with satisfaction.

　　Qiao Yue came today with something, she took off the backpack on her back, took out a stack of paper from it and put it on the counter, "Uncle Wu, this is a new model, there are head flowers, costumes and silk pads, you see." ”

　　Boss Wu was overjoyed to see the situation, quickly picked up one by one and looked at it, and kept praising it in his mouth: "I have long heard my cousin say that The little moon girl is very intelligent, this golden idea is one after another, and it is our blessing to be able to cooperate with the girl!" ”

　　Praise of the kind words do not want money, Boss Wu said a series of words, straight to Qiao Yue exaggerated the heavens and the earth, and finally made Qiao Yue embarrassed.

　　"Little Moon Girl, this is the ledger of the past three months in our shop, you see." Boss Wu opened a small locked cabinet and took out a thick ledger from inside.

　　The ledger is the most important thing in the store, and Boss Wu can so easily take it out to show Qiao Yue, a teenage girl, in fact, he has considered it in his heart.

　　Perhaps before, he had used a fake ledger to fool Qiao Yue's mind, after all, it was a little girl who could know something.

　　But after contacting Qiao Yue, he knew that this little girl was far more intelligent and knowledgeable than the letters, plus the two people who came with her were the sons who had entered Beijing to take the exam, and he had already received a letter from Hong'an County, knowing the strength of Su Yanzhi and Zhou Qin.

　　If the two of them are in high school, then with the cooperative relationship between him and Qiao Yue, this is a ready-made patron, ah, with the care of such two officials and masters, Boss Wu knows how stupid he is to maintain the cooperation between them, and must not offend Qiao Yue, the god of wealth, and the two big Buddhas behind her.

　　"I won't read the ledger today, another day, just settled in, the house is still a mess, there will be something to do in a while." Qiao Yue shook her head.

　　The two were talking when they suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from the door.

　　"Big lady, we don't accept anyone in the store, so you can go somewhere else."

　　At the door, a woman dressed in ordinary clothes pointed to the recruitment sign hanging on the door and crossed her waist: "Fart, don't recruit the boy who just left, don't you let him come to work tomorrow?" ”

　　The woman's life was a harsh and mean look, and her speech was also vulgar.

　　The guy in the shop looked ugly, and his tone hardened, "Our store is full of unwanted people!" After saying that, he pointed to the young man standing next to the woman and said in an unkind tone: "Our shop is exquisite in recruiting people, you see him like a stinky beggar who wants food, who wants it!" ”

　　The young man hung his head low, his clothes were thin and torn in several places, his hair was a little messy, the shoes on his feet were tattered, his body was thin, he looked only twelve or thirteen years old, and he heard the guy say that he was like a stinky beggar, and his head couldn't help but be lowered even more.

　　As soon as she heard that the man didn't want anyone, the woman's face changed when she boarded, and she turned around and grabbed the teenager's ear, slapped two slaps on it, and scolded: "Little bastard!" No one wants the little bastard, what use do you want, eat the old woman's drink the old woman every day, and still die like a leper dog, and now no one wants to sell you! ”

　　The boy was beaten and trembled without making a sound, "Boom! With a loud cry, the teenager was pushed by the woman, and had not eaten anything for a whole day, and the teenager had long been hungry and dizzy, and one did not stand still and fell to the ground, and his cheek was cut by a small stone on the ground.

　　"Oops, what are you doing! Hit people home, don't get in the way of our shop. The guy saw her kicking and cursing, and drank in a hurry.

　　"Little bastard! Waste one, sold are not wanted, it is better to die, the province's drag old lady! The woman was still insulting, and the sharp thick-soled shoes kicked hard at the teenager, who curled up without a word, and his messy hair obscured his expression.

　　"Stop! Do you want to kill people? With a roar, Qiao Yue walked out with a raised eyebrow.

58. Chapter 58.

　　The movement on this side has attracted a lot of people to watch, and the crowd has gathered in a circle to point at the two people.

　　"Isn't this the boy of the Jiang family outside the city?" Sigh, too, pitiful. A woman carrying a basket shook her head.

　　The person next to him immediately asked, "Is this child biological?" ”

　　The woman said, "No, my mother's house is not far from their house, this child was born to his father's ex-wife, and this child is also poor when he was three or four years old, and his mother was gone. Alas, pathetic. ”

　　Qiao Yue shouted angrily, and the woman subconsciously stopped moving, and everyone looked at Qiao Yue.

　　"How do you hit him like that!" Even if he wasn't your own child, how could he have given you such a heavy hand? Qiao Yue looked at it and felt very unbearable, since she came to ancient times, the people around her were still quite kind, such a poisonous woman had never met, this teenager was so thin and pitiful, how did this woman go down!

　　Qiao Yue came to the teenager and reached out to help him up, the teenager's clothes were still covered with dirt and dust, the blood from the wounds on his face was still spilling, when Qiao Yue touched him, the teenager suddenly shrank a little, but he exhaled in pain because he pulled the pain on his body.

　　The shoulders under the palm of his hands were as thin as wood, and the man was incredibly light, and it was not difficult to imagine how hard his life had been, especially in this cold winter, but his clothes were thin and tattered, and this thin body was still supported.

　　"Are you okay?" Qiao Yue asked softly.

　　The teenager didn't speak, only nodded slightly, seemed to be very uncomfortable with Qiao Yue's touch, and struggled slightly to move back.

　　"Yo, where is the yellow haired girl, teach the old lady a lesson!"

　　The woman crossed her hands at her waist and said, "What have I done to my son to hinder you?" ”

　　Qiao Yue stood up, she had heard what the people around her said, and she also knew about the situation of the teenager, and it was not a strange thing for the stepmother to abuse the child. But it was the first time in Qiao Yue's life that she had encountered it.

　　She knew that this woman was mean and difficult, and did not want to talk to her more nonsense, and said bluntly: "You are selling people? Ten silver, I bought. ”

　　"Wow!"

　　The people around them couldn't help but marvel, and looked at Qiao Yue one after another, seeing that she was dressed in ordinary clothes and did not look like a rich lady, but so generous. Although ten pieces of silver is not a big money, it is already a lot for ordinary people, and everyone is talking about it again, secretly guessing Qiao Yue's identity.

　　When the woman saw that Qiao Yue wanted to buy someone, she immediately smiled, "Ah, the girl wants to buy him, fifteen or two pieces of silver." ”

　　"Fifteen twos? Didn't you just say twelve? Qiao Yue's eyes widened, and she didn't expect this woman to sit on the ground.

　　The woman smiled and said, "That was just now, if the girl pitied him and wanted to buy fifteen taels, we would immediately sign the deed of sale, otherwise we would not be able to talk about it." After saying that, he walked over and kicked the teenager again.

　　Qiao Yue gritted her teeth, saw the woman without hesitation and shouted to make the teenager stand up, bit her lip and was about to agree, Boss Wu came over and said to the woman: "The lady looks familiar with the face, but Jiang Honest's family? ”

　　The woman looked at him and nodded, "Is it me, Boss Wu?" Do you shop want to buy him too? Fifteen two, nothing. "The woman will see that Qiao Yue is kind in heart and must be buying people, so can't this price be added a little?"

　　Boss Wu snorted, and he heard the discussion of the people around him, and he knew the woman's husband, Jiang Honest, although the name was honest, but the person was not honest.

　　In June this year, he was chased and beaten with only a pair of profane pants, or he helped him to avoid, at that time, he listened to the miserable lies made up by Xinjiang honestly, and lent him ten silver, and later learned that he was a bad gambler, and he did not find anyone for nearly a month, and Boss Wu did not sleep well for several days.

　　"Your husband Jiang honestly still owes me twenty-two pieces of silver and has not been exchanged, and since you have come today, hurry up and pay me back."

　　"What!" Madame exclaimed, her eyes widening, and shouted, me! I didn't borrow it from you! As soon as the words came out, she quickly calmed down, "It's not that I borrowed it from you, it's none of my business, if you want to write about buying people, you can quickly get the money, and I'm still waiting to go home." ”

　　Boss Wu said, "It is natural to repay the debt, I still have an IOU here, if you don't pay it back, you should still go to yamen with me." With a look in his eye, a few guys in the shop gathered around

　　Upon seeing this situation, the woman was suddenly anxious, secretly scolded her man with a dog blood sprinkler, and panicked: "Don't say goodbye, Boss Wu, we have something to discuss." ”

　　He looked at the young man on the ground and said, "This little bastard is for you, but you have to give me the IOU." ”

　　Boss Wu said, "This man is fifteen or two, your man owes me twenty-two, and there are still five or two pieces of silver you have to make up." ”

　　The woman did not expect that she would have the ability to sell this little bastard today, and as a result, she could not earn any money, but also had to paste it upside down, and immediately trembled with anger, sat down on the ground and played a rogue, and cried: "I have no silver, where do I get silver!" Jiang honestly, you can hurt the old woman! ”

　　She cried as she scolded, and the whole person went crazy.

　　Qiao Yue was shocked by this change and looked at Boss Wu, who frowned and swept around, seeing more and more people watching, he had to frown: "Don't howl, leave people behind, you go." He said and asked him to go to the shop and take a piece of paper and throw it in front of the woman.

　　As soon as the crying was suddenly collected, the woman picked up the paper on the ground and directly put it into her pocket, and quickly got up from the ground and said to the teenager: "Little bastard, the old lady has raised you in vain!" After saying that, he brushed away the crowd and ran away with a cigarette.

　　When the woman was gone, there was no bustle to see, and the crowd dispersed.

　　Boss Wu asked the guy to take the boy into the room behind the shop, and then ordered someone to fetch some water to help him deal with the wounds on his body, and Qiao Yue thanked Boss Wu and took out fifteen silver tickets from his body to Boss Wu, but Boss Wu refused.

　　After a while, the teenager was taken out by the guy, still looking down and unable to see the expression on his face.

　　Boss Wu frowned at Qiao Yue when he saw his beggar appearance: "This young man will stay with me and be a errand boy." ”

　　Qiao Yue looked at him and thought it was better to stay here and work, so he nodded his head and prepared to leave, but he didn't expect that the teenager who had been stunned suddenly took a few steps behind Qiao Yue and walked out.

　　"Oh, you stand still, where are you going?" The guy saw the situation and rushed forward to pull the teenager.

　　"I'm going to go with her, she bought me." The teenager finally spoke, his voice somewhat hoarse and weak.

　　Qiao Yue turned to look at him, the teenager looked up slightly, the messy hair fell on his face, a pair of dark and clear eyes were looking at Qiao Yue fixedly, as if he had roots under his feet, and the guy did not pull it several times.

　　Qiao Yue did not expect the teenager to follow herself, she looked at Boss Wu, boss Wu smiled and said, "Since he wants to follow you, then you can take it back, and it is also good to be a book boy for your brothers." ”

　　Qiao Yue was also an idea, nodded, and said to the teenager, "Then you follow me." ”

　　Out of the door, Qiao Yue did not rush to the vegetable market, but took the teenager to the clothing shop, "Uh... So what, I don't know what your name is yet? Qiao Yue took the clothes and wanted to ask the teenager if he liked it.

　　"Jiang Yuan, my name is Jiang Yuan." The teenager said.

　　"Oh, can I call you Ah Yuan?" Jiang Yuan nodded.

　　"How about this outfit?" Do you like it or not, and this shoe, do you want to try it? Qiao Yue took him around the big shop to choose, and the people in the shop couldn't help but frown and look away from the two when they saw Jiang Yuan's appearance.

　　Jiang Yuan felt the sight of everyone and wanted to flee with embarrassment, but Qiao Yue, who had chosen clothes for him in front of him, didn't seem to feel anything, and only smiled and asked him if this was suitable, whether he liked it or not.

　　"Yes, I'll wait for you outside." Jiang Yuan dropped a sentence and quickly turned around and ran out.

　　"Hey!" Qiao Yue did not reluctantly see him like this, quickly took a few sets of clothes and shoes and paid for it and went out.

　　After walking around the market and buying all the things he needed, Qiao Yue drove Yuanbao back to his residence with a car full of things and Jiang Yuan.

　　"Ah Yuan, you first go to the shower and change your clothes, don't freeze on a cold day." Qiao Yue pointed to the pottery stove in the courtyard, which was that she had burned all day of eating and drinking water before going out in the morning, and now it was just for Jiang Yuan.

　　Jiang Yuan hugged Qiao Yue to give him brand new clothes, shoes and socks, and stood in the same place looking at Qiao Yue with some trepidation, "I am the slave you bought back, you don't have to do this." His fingers tightened the thick and beautiful cotton jacket, wondering why Qiao Yue was so good to him, he was just a servant she bought, wasn't he.

　　Qiao Yue waved his hand and said, "What slave is not a slave, let's talk about it later." Although the purchase and sale of human beings was very common in ancient times, and there was even a special slave market, Qiao Yue still felt very uncomfortable, and she bought Jiang Yuan to sympathize with him, but she did not think of treating him as a slave, at best, she was just a helper in the family.

　　"Go, don't be stunned, the water should be cold, I'll go find you some medicine for bruises." Qiao Yue said and walked to the small warehouse, where the family's daily necessities and other items were placed.

　　Near the evening, Su Yanzhi and Zhou Qin rushed back from the academy, and the two discussed what they had learned today, but when they were about to reach the door, they faintly heard the sound of laughter coming from inside.

　　"Someone from the house?" Zhou Qin looked at Su Yanzhi doubtfully, they had only been here for a few days, how could anyone come to the door? Could it be neighbors?

　　The two entered the door, and what came into view was that Qiao Yue was setting up a table in the courtyard and making hand rolling noodles, which was very common, but what made the two silent was that next to Qiao Yue stood a teenager who was helping Qiao Yue.

　　.......

　　The two looked at each other without speaking, and when Qiao Yue saw them come in, he smiled and greeted them, "Third brother, big brother Zhou, you are back." ”

　　Su Yanzhi sighed, looked at Jiang Yuan, and asked, "Xiao Yue, who is this?" ”

　　Jiang Yuan looked up at the two people, Bai Jing's face flashed a touch of nervousness, the dough in his hand was pinched and deformed, he opened his mouth, and his voice trembled slightly and shouted: "Gongzi is good." ”

　　Zhou Qin walked over and looked up and down, the teenager who was originally dressed like a beggar was gone, and Jiang Yuan in front of him was wearing a brand new cotton jacket, his hair was neatly tied above his head, revealing a fairly white face, but the right cheek was scratched, and there was still some redness and swelling near the wound.

　　He stood at the table with some nervousness, involuntarily bowing his head for him to look at.

　　Qiao Yue called Su Yanzhi and Zhou Qin aside to briefly explain today's events, and finally said: "Buying people or something is indeed a big deal, and I didn't consult with you to make decisions without permission." ”

　　She was a little embarrassed, Su Yanzhi touched her hair and said: "There is nothing left for him at this point, our family does not lack this mouthful of food, with him accompanying you, I and Zhou Qin are also at ease when we are not at home." ”

　　"Mm-hmm, yes, today we talked about it several times at the Academy, and I was worried." Zhou Qin said it all at once, Su Yanzhi's expression stiffened, and his face suddenly felt a little hot.

　　Qiao Yue was stunned for a moment and looked at Su Yanzhi, who clenched his fist against his lips and coughed, "So what, after all, we are new to the city." His eyes wandered a little and he looked at Jiang Yuan, "After Jiang Yuan follows you, the third brother will be relieved." ”

　　Qiao Yue nodded and said, "Brothers are tired after a day of reading, hurry up and take a rest, and after a while they will eat the next noodle." ”

　　"Well, okay."

59. Chapter 59.

　　Jiang Yuan's life was difficult since childhood, his father was infected with gambling problems, and his stepmother sprinkled the resentment of life on him, and for three days he either scolded or starved him, and his life at home was even more difficult than that of a beggar in these years.

　　The warmth of the quilt under the thick quilt makes people not want to move at all, smelling the soap horn fragrance emanating from the quilt. Until now, he still had a feeling of being in a dream, and returning with Qiao Yue that day was the most correct decision he had made.

　　There was a loud thumping sound in the courtyard, and Jiang Yuan turned his head to look at the window, and the sky was already dark.

　　A "squeak" sounded, and Jiang Yuan knew that it was Su Yanzhi and Zhou Qin who got up and prepared to go to the academy.

　　He immediately got up.

　　Breakfast was simple and Joey was ready to make egg noodles.

　　"Ah Yuan, how did you get up so early?" Breakfast wasn't good yet. Qiao Yue was rolling out the dough when he saw Jiang Yuan walk in.

　　"Well, I'll help." Jiang Yuan didn't say much, he was very familiar with the kitchen work, and when he answered, he went to the stove to look at it, poured the boiling hot water from the pot into the copper pot, and sharply raised the fire of the small stove, and put the copper pot on it to keep warm.

　　The sound of reading in the room rang out, which was what the two of them had to do every day, and Su Yanzhi said that reviewing the homework in the morning would help deepen their memories, so they got up early every day to recite the article.

　　Jiang Yuan was very discerning, and when he saw Qiao Yue put the noodles off the pot, he quickly went to the small barn outside and took a handful of green vegetables to the well to clean it.

　　After a while, the steaming noodles with the aroma are out of the pot.

　　Su Yanzhi and the two went to the academy, the daily homework is very large, there are more than two months before the test, the gentlemen of the college will be full of students' classes every day, the test compared to the previous exams the difficulty of more than a star and a half.

　　In addition, most of the students who come to the exam are from all over the country, and the homework in this language is also the top priority, and this official language is still very important. Just imagine, if the temple tests His Majesty's question, you speak in a dialect and wow for half a day, even if you say it well, I am afraid that there will be no good impression on Your Majesty.

　　Su Yanzhi and his wife said well, thanks to the years of studying in the county, the county's gentlemen were no better than the town, which all needed to go through the official language examination.

　　And Qiao Yue is not to mention, for her this Mandarin is the most simple and easy, but she just came there in order to imitate a good dialect but awkward for many days, fortunately, the language environment is there, she quickly adapted.

　　Near the end of the year, every household began to prepare for the New Year.

　　Sweeping ash, over the small year, Qiao Yue took Jiang Yuan to clean the home inside and out of the spotless, fortunately the house was cleaned when it was moved in, so it did not take much effort, worried that there would be rain and snow in the New Year, Qiao Yue cleaned the sheets and quilts, and the cotton jackets and quilts were all taken out to dry again.

　　With the help of Jiang Yuan, Qiao Yue's life is clear a lot, don't look at Jiang Yuan's young age, but the strength is not small, Xu is because of the perennial rough work, although he is thin but has a lot of strength, for Qiao Yue to clean the quilt cover is a difficult job, pure cotton quilt cover soaked in water becomes heavy, with Jiang Yuan's help, it is a lot easier.

　　On the twenty-seventh day of the waxing moon, watching the sky become gloomy, Qiao Yue planned to go to the market to buy some grain that could be put back.

　　"Ah Yuan, you take those two umbrellas with you, and we'll send them to the academy in a moment." Qiao Yue sorted out the donkey cart in the yard and shouted into the house.

　　"Got it!"

　　On the other side, Akiyama Village.

　　"The second brother went home, the weather is not good today, I am afraid that it will snow heavily, so I quickly collected my things, and we went back."

　　Su Mu Liu Looked at the small snowflakes fluttering in the sky and the sky that was gloomy to the point of night, and turned back to Zhao Xiaofang.

　　"Oh, got it, ma'am." Zhao Xiaofang responded, neatly handed the last two pieces of tofu to the basin brought by the people who came over, "Uncle Niu, you take it well, this ground is slippery, you have to be careful when you go back." ”

　　Uncle Niu nodded and walked away with the basin.

　　"Mother, Ming'er is twenty-nine, so why don't we come?" Zhao Xiaofang packed up the things placed outside the store.

　　Liu Shi went through a large basin of bowls and chopsticks with clean water, one by one neatly arranged in wooden barrels, she wrung out the cloth towel to pour out the water, and said, "Ah, no, the day after tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, the family has not been cleaned up yet." ”

　　Liu Shi stood up and rubbed his waist, and Zhao Xiaofang quickly stepped forward to take the wooden barrel in her hand, "Mother, be careful, sit down and rest for a while." ”

　　"Hey!" Liu Shi sighed, since the waxing moon, their business has become busier, every day before dawn to get up to prepare, while doing while selling sometimes can not be picked up, really tired is not light.

　　After returning home, Liu Shi held a bowl and said to Zhao Xiaofang: "You send this to your mother's family and let them add a bowl of dishes for the New Year." ”

　　Zhao Xiaofang's face was happy, "Thank you mother!" With that, he took off his apron and went out with the bowl.

　　This year's Chinese New Year's Eve rice is exceptionally rich, in addition to the regular chicken, duck and fish meat, Su Dalang also made a special trip to the dock, bought a lot of fresh yellow eel turtles and other things that are usually reluctant to eat.

　　"Mother, how about tasting it?" Chinese New Year's Eve rice was made by Zhao Xiaofang and Yunniang, "I haven't done these things before, and I don't know if they are good or not." ”

　　Zhao Xiaofang sat next to Su Erlang and said, "If the little sister is here, it will definitely be very delicious." ”

　　Liu Shi tasted it, nodded his head in agreement, and said, "Xiao Yue has many good craftsmanship and many ideas, and the vegetable leaves made are delicious." She had a somewhat lonely look on her face, "I don't know how they are doing in the capital?" ”

　　Seeing that the old lady was a little low, the Su Dalang brothers looked at each other, and Su Erlang clipped a stewed soft rotten chicken leg to Liu Shi, "Mother, don't you worry, didn't Sanlang write a letter a few days ago, they are very good, and after a few years, Sanlang will prepare for the exam, saying that when he is stable, he will take you to the capital to enjoy Qingfu." ”

　　Su Dalang nodded and said, "Yes, mother, you don't have to worry, Sanlang and the Zhou family brothers are all old masters, well-informed, what can happen, besides, there is no little sister, little sister is so smart." ”

　　"Yes, mother, you put your heart back in your stomach and wait for someone from above to announce the good news, you will be the old lady of the official family in the future!" Zhao Xiaofang smiled and said.

　　After being explained by them like this, Liu's mood also improved, lifted the chopsticks and greeted: "Right, right, you are right, the big New Year's Day, we should be happy, eat vegetables, all eat vegetables!" ”

　　Everyone laughed and ate the good dishes they couldn't taste on weekdays.

　　Heavy snow fell from the Chinese New Year's Eve to the third day of the first year, and the snow was a few inches thick that made it impossible to go out. It is often said that after the snow is cold, this is not false at all, although the snow has stopped, but because the temperature is relatively low, there is freezing everywhere, and the cold wind that whistles when the door is opened every day blows through the face as if it is cut by a knife.

　　Some people in such weather are sad, there is not much grain stored at home, and such weather cannot go out to purchase, so they can only mix porridge three times a day at home.

　　"Boom boom boom!"

　　The door of the Su family was knocked, and several people of the Liu family who were sitting under the window roasting the fire looked at each other, not knowing who had come over in the snow.

　　Zhao Shi put down the embroidery in his hand, "I went to open the door." ”

　　As soon as the door opened, the cold wind mixed with fine snowflakes greeted him, Zhao Shi snorted, and saw the person standing outside the door surprised: "Third Aunt You, how did you come?" ”

　　Standing outside the door was the famous matchmaker You Sanjie, who was wearing a festive purple-red cotton jacket, a big red silk flower pinned to her hair, carrying a basket covered with red cloth in her hand, smiling and squinting: "Happy New Year to Lady Zhao." As he spoke, he lifted his feet and entered the door.

　　"Xiao Fang, who's coming?" Liu Shi in the side room heard the voice and shouted.

　　Before Zhao Shi could answer, Third Aunt You smiled and walked over, "Old sister, it's me, I've come to pay you a visit." ”

　　Third Aunt You walked to the side house, opened the curtain, and just lifted her feet to enter, and a warm smell like spring instantly dispelled the cold air around her.

　　You San's face was slightly surprised, and her eyes fell on the red-hot charcoal basin, and she had a new understanding of the wealth of the Su family in her heart.

　　In this weather, ordinary people's homes in order to resist the cold, most of them are curled up in bed, even if it is charcoal for heating, it is just the most common charcoal that burns the most, and the smoke can smoke people to death, and it will also make a smoky smell.

　　This Su family charcoal is even she does not give up the white charcoal, she is a matchmaker, the silver in this hand is naturally very generous, although the white charcoal is expensive, but it is not unaffordable, but like the Su family to burn a large basin, there is a big bag next to it, this luxury she is reluctant to do.

　　It seems that the Su family is now rich and noble, if it can be made into her family's matchmaker, then this thank you medium gift.....

　　Thinking like this, You San's smile became more and more attentive, and she walked in two steps, took out a sugar bag from the basket in one hand and handed it to the Yunniang sisters sitting next to her, "Come, aunt brought sugar, eat something." ”

　　The two sisters looked at Liu Shi, saw her nod, and then reached out to take it, and after thanking her, Yunniang stood up and pulled her sister away.

　　"On this cold day, why did it come back?" Liu Shi divided the thread in his hand and put it aside, took a few sips of tea.

　　"Old sister, when will the tofu factory open, the children in the family want to eat this bite." You San Aunt approached the charcoal basin and rubbed the warm hand of the roast, and did not directly explain the meaning.

　　Zhao Shi brought tea and melon seeds and peanuts to entertain the guests and put them on a stool between the two.

　　Liu Shi looked at her and said, "Look at the weather." "She is a little cold to You San's aunt, and now the family is not in a hurry to marry and find her in-laws, this You Third Aunt came to the door at this time, what else can it be."

　　Third Aunt You didn't seem to notice her coldness at all, and smiled and squinted: "Old sister, your family is still alone, this man is not like a person after all, the child also needs to be taken care of, I have the right person here." ”

　　In November, Su Dalang's wife, Xu Chunju, fell ill and died in prison, and now Su Dalang has become a widower, and there are not many people in the village who are inquiring about marrying their daughters.

　　Liu Shi dialed the charcoal basin and replied, "Da Lang doesn't have this idea for the time being, saying that he will wait until the anniversary of the child's mother's birthday." ”

　　Third Aunt You already knew that this was the answer, "Oh" did not speak.

　　After thinking about it in her heart for a while, You San Aunt tentatively said, "There will be an exam next year, and your family Sanlang will definitely be able to go to high school." ”

　　Liu Shi snorted without being salty, thinking that she had come to kiss Su Yanzhi, so he looked at her and said, "His third aunt, Sanlang said before leaving, the marriage is not considered for the time being, and repeatedly told me not to quietly appoint a girl for him, he will not agree." ”

　　Now Su Yanzhi is a popular candidate for their village son-in-law, and everyone who has a girl of the right age in the family is waiting on the sidelines, just waiting for Su Yanzhi's high school to ask someone to match.

　　You San's aunt knew Liu's thoughts, and although Su Yanzhi's marriage was her mother-in-law, she could not make the decision, but she could not make the decision. At the moment, she laughed and said, "Old sister, I naturally know that Sanlang will be an official and worship the chancellor in the future, and this affair must be to find the right door." ”

　　Liu Clan nodded, and Third Aunt You finally made her intentions clear about today, "Old sister, today is the third year of junior high school, the snow is blocking the road, I didn't want to come to the door, but someone entrusted me to come and take a trip." ”

　　Liu Shi's hand peeling the peanut paused, looking at You Sanjie, and she continued: "It was the old man in Yangliu Town who entrusted me to come over." ”

　　Yangliu Town is also their neighboring town, and when you go to Hong'an County, you have to pass through Yangliu Town.

　　As soon as the words were spoken, there was nothing to hide, and You San Aunt opened up and said, "Old sister, I know that you have always loved girls, and Xiao Yue, this child, I also watched and grew up, and I also loved it very much in my heart." ”

　　She said euphemistically, she knew that Liu Shi had always loved and cared for Qiao Yue as an eyeball, and on weekdays some people in the village joked about asking to marry Qiao Yue, no matter how happy they said, Liu Clan would leave with a cold face, and the marriage of her daughter was more important than the examination of her son.

　　Therefore, she knows that Qiao Yue's matchmaker is very difficult to do, not only her own value, but also Su Sanlang is likely to be in high school, when the value of the Su family's children will rise with the water, Qiao Yue's marriage is even more difficult to say, Bao Bu Qi Su family wants to give her a family of officials and eunuchs.

　　Therefore, when Mrs. Qian entrusted her to say matchmaking, she had pushed it once, but Mrs. Qian gave a lot of matchmaking gifts, and said that she could take away the silver without wrapping it, so she was willing to try it on this cold day.

　　"Old sister, although Old Master Qian is only Lizheng, he is also an official in size, his son is an only son, his family is well-off, and the eldest niece will not suffer hardships when she marries." Third Aunt You lobbied hard and took the basket on the side, "You see, this is what Madame Qian asked me to give you." ”

　　Zhao Shi looked over, and Third Aunt You lifted the red cloth to reveal what was inside.

　　Zhao Shi's eyes widened in surprise, and what was contained inside was gold and silver jewelry and other items, as well as some of the daughters' clothing, all of which were exquisite and beautiful.

　　Liu Shi glanced at it, and his eyes flashed with surprise, such a valuable thing was just a small gift brought by the matchmaker.

　　Third Aunt You carefully observed her look, saw that she seemed to be a little loose, and quickly said: "Mrs. Qian really likes the eldest niece, their family has a jewelry shop in the county, this silver is a lot of money, the eldest niece married to the young grandmother." ”

　　"Although his son is not a scholar, he is also industrious and reliable, the family's business is doing a good job, and the person is also a talented person, and he is a match for the eldest niece."

　　As soon as she said this, even Zhao Shi was a little envious, which would be afraid if she had a daughter.

　　Liu Shi groaned, she really wanted to tell her daughter a marriage with four corners, listening to the matchmaker's words, this money family seems to be not bad, the family is well-off, the man is the only son, so as to avoid the friction between the concubines, the in-laws' hearts will also be placed on them.

　　Seeing her hesitation, You San Aunt felt a little hopeful about this matter, "Old sister, this family affair is rare, many people have looked for me and want to marry the Qian family, but Mrs. Qian has found me since she has seen the eldest niece, she has found me, saying that only the eldest niece can match it, the eldest niece is beautiful and capable, if there are two of them in the shop, in the future this silver earned is only afraid that it will not be used in a few lifetimes!" ”

　　Liu Shi was naturally happy to hear his daughter's words, but he did not immediately agree to it, saying: "I can't agree to this matter without authorization, in two days I will write an urgent letter to go to the capital and ask Yue'er's meaning." ”

　　Third Aunt You suddenly smiled happily and said good.

　　After talking again, You San Aunt was about to quit and leave, and Liu Shi asked her to bring the basket and everything back, I don't know if this can be done, she will not accept such a valuable thing.

　　Third Aunt You didn't say much more, only that she was informed after the letter came, and then left.

　　"Mother, you said yes?" As soon as the people left, Su Erlang came out and followed into the room to ask urgently.

　　"Mother, the little sister is still young, don't be so anxious to say kiss." Su Erlang said that his sister is cute and smart, and he still wants to stay for a few more years.

　　Su Dalang also nodded, "We don't know each other's details about this Qian family." ”

　　When Liu Shi saw them like this, he sat down on a chair and said, "I know that Yue'er has just turned fourteen in the New Year, and it is still very early to become a parent." Besides, I didn't promise to come down, didn't I write a letter to ask Yue'er what she meant? ”

　　She said to Su Erlang, "Erlang, you go and call the tiger to write a letter." ”

60. [Latest] Chapter 60 ends in its entirety.

　　The wind and snow in the capital is larger than in Hong'an County, and it has been snowing intermittently for nearly half a month from the twenty-eighth year of the year, until the end of the first month, and the weather gradually improved.

　　When there was nothing to do, Qiao Yue and Jiang Yuan wandered the streets of the capital.

　　Because Su Yanzhi and Zhou Qin had to prepare for the exam, Qiao Yue wanted to take good care of their life and diet, so she didn't plan to do any business, after all, this exam was more nervous than the college entrance examination, and all she had to do every day was to find ways to supplement their nutrition and let them have enough energy to prepare for the exam.

　　"Hahaha! Laugh at me to death, Ah Yuan, how do you say it so funny! ”

　　In the kitchen in the evening, Qiao Yue was preparing to make dinner, and Jiang Yuan was chatting about this while chatting about it, but he didn't expect that jiang Yuan's stomach hurt when he laughed.

　　Jiang Yuanbaijing's face showed a helpless expression, looking at Qiao Yue, who was crouching on the ground with a smile, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up.

　　The jokes he said were not funny, but Qiao Yue was good at brain patching, and the laughter point was low, and a cold joke made her laugh almost out of breath.

　　"Yo, Little Moon, what are they talking about?" Laughing so happily, I've never seen her smile like this. In the courtyard, Zhou Qin and Su Yanzhi, who had just pushed the door in, heard Qiao Yue's loud laughter, and he couldn't help but laugh involuntarily.

　　Su Yanzhi had an expressionless look, he walked into the kitchen with his hands behind his back, and saw Qiao Yue squatting on the ground with the legs of the table, and Jiang Yuan was half bent over to pull her up.

　　"What are you doing?" A slightly displeased voice sounded, Jiang Yuan looked up sharply, and saw Su Yanzhi looking at himself with a bad face, and his body froze, and La Qiao Yue's movements also stopped.

　　"Third brother, you're back!" Qiao Yue shouted happily, and when he saw Jiang Yuan bend down and reach out, he immediately put his hand on it, "Ah Yuan, pull me up." Her laughing legs were soft.

　　Su Yan saw this, and the hand supporting the door frame slowly tightened, and the long fingernails pinched the wooden surface out of the mark.

　　Jiang Yuan's eyelashes drooped, and he didn't say anything to pull Qiao Yue up.

　　"Oh, Sister Xiaoyue, what are you talking about so happy, and making us laugh when you say it." Zhou Qin smiled and glanced at Su Yanzhi standing in the doorway and said.

　　Qiao Yue stood up and continued to deal with the green vegetables on the table, "Nothing, Brother Zhou, just casually chatted." ”

　　Su Yanzhi's face was cold, "Ah Yuan, you are different from the men and women of Yue'er, you should pay more attention in the future, the reputation of the girl's family is important." ”

　　Jiang Yuan bit his lip, "Got it, Third Prince." ”

　　Qiao Yue was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Su Yanzhi said this, "Third brother, you are too serious, I was Ah Yuan's younger brother." "Jiang Yuan is only twelve years old, she is only her own brother, the family pays attention to what these things do."

　　Su Yanzhi did not expect that she would face Jiang Yuan, and her face was even more ugly, "Yue'er, you are also a big girl, you should pay attention to measure, what to do if outsiders gossip." ”

　　Jiang Yuan was bought by them, this is not something that can be hidden, Qiao Yue stayed with him all day, and outsiders will definitely gossip for a long time.

　　"Okay, third brother, you seem to be a mother, so long-winded, go to rest for dinner for the next while, I will call you." Qiao Yue didn't want to listen anymore and quickly pushed Su Yanzhi out.

　　When eating dinner, several people can obviously feel that Su Yanzhi's mood is not good, Qiao Yue wants to say something light topic several times, but as long as he laughs with Jiang Yuan, Su Yanzhi's cold eyes look over, making the atmosphere very stiff, Qiao Yue does not know what is going on, the look asked Zhou Qin, Zhou Qin only shook his head to give her a meaningful smile, and then just cared about eating.

　　The occurrence of this incident really made Su Yanzhi irritable for two days, and he was also a little absent-minded in the academy, and was criticized by the old master by name.

　　"Yanzhi, what's wrong with you?" After lunch, Zhou Qin saw Su Yanzhi sitting on the stone in the courtyard, so he walked over, saw him frowning, and asked with some concern.

　　"Yanzhi, there are still ten days to try, and your current state worries me a lot." Zhou Qin carefully looked at his look, and suddenly as if he thought of something, he sighed and sat down next to him and said, "Hey, I don't know what Xiaoyue Sister is doing at home now?" Yesterday I heard her say that she wanted to eat the roast duck in Juxiang Garden, but today I don't know if I went with the boy. ”

　　As soon as the words came out, he saw that Su Yanzhi's face became difficult to see, and he laughed a few times, which attracted the surrounding students to look over.

　　"Yanzhi, Yanzhi, I think I know what you're worried about?" He wrapped his arms around Su Yanzhi's shoulders and said with a bad eye, "Jiang Yuan's little boy stays with Xiao Yue's sister every day, which is really worrying!" ”

　　Su Yanzhi turned his head violently, "What do you want to say?" ”

　　Zhou Qin said, "Well, I mean, Xiao Yue's sister is smart and beautiful and the one who rescued him from the Bitter Sea, that boy must have felt for her..." He looked at Su Yanzhi's increasingly gloomy expression, and swallowed the unspoken words into his stomach at once.

　　Su Yanzhi stared at him, staring at Zhou Qin's hair, he patted Su Yanzhi and said, "Yanzhi, do you like Xiaoyue?" ”

　　"I..." Su Yanzhi was said to be the center of things, and his face quickly turned red, and he turned his head to look ahead.

　　ay!

　　Zhou Qin shook his head and sighed, how could he be at such a critical time.

　　Su Yanzhi's thoughts about Qiao Yue, Zhou Qin had actually realized it earlier, as early as when they were still in Hong'an County Academy, he was vaguely aware that Su Yanzhi's attitude towards this adopted sister was somewhat different.

　　Maybe at that time, he really regarded Qiao Yue as a sister, and he didn't mention her much on weekdays. But gradually, as long as Su Yanzhi talked about family affairs, he would inevitably mention Qiao Yue.

　　Before he and Su Yanzhi went to the street to write and make money, and then the conditions at home slowly improved, so they focused on their studies and stopped going, but suddenly one day, Su Yanzhi ran to the bookstore again, saying that he had taken over the work of copying books to earn some pocket money.

　　Zhou Qin understood that all the money Su Yanzhi earned was used on Qiao Yue's body, buying melon seed snacks, paw jewelry, and even rouge gouache, he would also buy a little.

　　"Xiaoyue is very smart, I taught her to read and recognize, she learned it all at once."

　　"This is what Xiaoyue made for me, let me take the afternoon cushion to pad my stomach."

　　"My clothes are torn, you see, Yue'er embroidered chrysanthemums for me."

　　"Xiao Yue...", "Yue'er she...", and so on, Su Yanzhi, who didn't like to talk, hung up On Qiao Yue almost every day.

　　Admire her sister's intelligence and feel sorry for her for the family.

　　And so on, he could hear too much. It's just that Su Yan's dead duck has a hard mouth, and every time he adds a 'she is my sister' to try to cover up the explanation.

　　On the way to Beijing together, Su Yanzhi was even more concerned about Qiao Yue and had long since surpassed that of ordinary brothers and sisters.

　　Seeing that Zhou Qin did not speak for half a day, Su Yanzhi's face became a little pale, "Do you think I am not normal, Xiao Yue is the sister I grew up with." ”

　　Seeing his friend troubled by love, Zhou Qin certainly couldn't hit him, after all, he and Qiao Yue were not really brothers and sisters.

　　He laughed and said in a relaxed tone, "I already saw that you liked Xiao Yue, but you never said that I thought you would have to wait until the title of the gold list to say it." ”

　　Su Yanzhi was stunned for a moment, he really thought this, but these days he was confused by Jiang Yuan's little boy.

　　Young and simple, Su Yanzhi had been eating flying vinegar as early as before he realized it, and seeing that the two were in and out of the same day, his heart finally couldn't hold back the feeling of anxiety.

　　Zhou Qin tried his best to enlighten him, "Xiaoyue's sister is loved by your mother, and her ability to look beautiful and make money is also first-class, is it not a good match for you, a big talent?" ”

　　Su Yanzhi's mood was not high, "Xiao Yue has always taken me as a brother." ”

　　Zhou Qin said, "You are now annoyed that you like Xiao Yue, annoyed with Jiang Yuan's boy, and not annoyed that Xiao Yue doesn't like you, besides, in case Xiao Yue also likes you just hides in her heart like you." ”

　　That's right!

　　Su Yan's eyes lit up suddenly, zhou Qin said: "As for Jiang Yuan, it is not simpler, when you are in high school, in and out of the job or something, you need a waiter around you, when the time comes, let Jiang Yuan follow you is not good, the family is busy, you can ask two more girls and big girls on the line." ”

　　Zhou Qin secretly praised himself in his heart, and really broke his heart for his brother's love!

　　"Besides, there will be an exam soon, and if you are still distracted and don't work hard to fall on the list, you are not worthy of the little moon girl."

　　This sentence speaks to Su Yanzhi's heart, his current rich living conditions can be said to be given by Qiao Yue, and the owner of the Thousand Compilations and Thousands of Painting Workshops ran a special trip a few years ago, saying that he came to send dividends at the end of the year, and Su Yanzhi also knew that it was a lot of silver.

　　Qiao Yue is very smart, if she spends her mind on business, it is estimated that Jinshan Yinshan can also earn.

　　And himself, now just an empty and famous person, if he can't get the title of the gold list, then what courage does he have to let Qiao Yue be with himself, what is the ability of a big man to eat and drink by a woman.

　　The title of the gold list, the glory returned to the hometown. This is what Su Yanzhi has always expected.

　　After thinking about this, his heart suddenly opened up, and the depressed color around him suddenly dissipated, "Zhou Qin, you are right, what I should do most now is to work hard to obtain a meritorious name." ”

　　Seeing that Su Yanzhi had regained his previous radiance, Zhou Qin nodded and stood up, "Just think it through, we should go to class." ”

　　The test will be scheduled for February 23, and the atmosphere in beijing is visible and tense up on the day of the exam, gathering people from all over the country to rush to take the exam, all the inns and restaurants are overcrowded, and the travel tools such as horse-drawn carriages, donkey carts and palanquins are also in short supply.

　　On the day of the exam, Qiao Yue still drove Su Yanzhi and Zhou Qin to the Gongyuan with the Yuanbao, and the Gongyuan was cold, and Qiao Yue had prepared a light and warm blanket and knee pads for the two to bring.

　　The time flickered to the palace examination on the fifth day of the first month of March, and Zhou Qin, Su Yanzhi and other 102 people who had won the list were now in the palace to accept the last palace examination that was personally taken by Tianzi.

　　One day at the end of March, the Su family opened their doors to do business as usual.

　　Breakfast time was busy before the shop, and the guy from the county station sent an urgent letter.

　　It wasn't until noon that a few members of the Su family were idle, and the two bridesmen who had been invited were washing the dishes, and Zhao Shi entered the shop and sat down, and when he saw a letter under the counter, he picked it up and said, "Mother, there is a letter here." ”

　　Liu Shi just brought out the rice bowl, "Xiao Fang, the rice is ready." Seeing the letter in her hand, she said casually, "It should be from the capital, I was too busy to let Erlang see it just now." ”

　　They didn't know when the winning announcement was, so it was only Qiao Yue's reply to the marriage.

　　Su Erlang came out, took the envelope in his wife's hand and opened it, and with just one glance, his hands began to tremble with excitement.

　　"Mother, mother, third brother!" When Liu Shi heard his son's nervous tone, he quickly put down the bowl in his hand and asked urgently: "What's wrong?" Is something wrong with Saburo? ”

　　Zhao Shi also tensed up, Su Erlang's eyes widened with excitement on his face, and he raised his voice: "Mother, Sanlang has been hit!" Hit! It's a champion! ”

　　What the!

　　The two exhaled at the same time, staring at the envelope in his hand, and Liu Shi grabbed his son's arm, "Erlang, what are you talking about?" ”

　　Su Erlang happily shook his mother's hand, looked at the two and said again, "The third brother has been hit!" Our family is out of shape! ”

　　Liu Shi's tears came out with excitement, and his hands trembled as he wiped his tears and cried with joy: "Go home, let's go home immediately, I want to tell your father the news!" ”

　　"Hey!" Su Erlang answered, and the food could not be eaten, so he quickly let his daughter-in-law clean up and close the shop, and the three of them drove back with a donkey cart.

　　At the same time, Hong'an County also received a notification from the capital.

　　The news of Su Jia Sanlang's Zhongzhuangyuan spread around Hong'an County within three days.

　　For a moment, the people who came to congratulate almost broke through the threshold of the Su family.

　　After You San Aunt learned of this news, she also rushed to Su Jia Hexi, and Liu Shi was in a good mood, leaving You San Aunt to eat a meal and also said Qiao Yue's reply.

　　"Since this is the case, I will go to Qian's house in a moment, and Qian Gongzi has no connection with the eldest niece, which cannot be forced." You San's face was flushed with drinking, and Liu Shi smiled and squinted: "Trouble big sister ran a trip." ”

　　The letter made it very clear, and Qiao Yue refused.

　　Although he won the title, this appointment was not immediately available, and the Great Yong Dynasty had a tradition of returning to its hometown to announce the good news since ancient times.

　　Therefore, after the nomination of the gold list, there will be a period of one and a half months, that is, I will allow the students who have won the list to return to their hometowns to announce the good news and arrange the chores at home, and stay in the capital without worries.

　　Su Yanzhi and the others were eager to return to their hometown, so they did not catch the donkey cart again, but took the waterway half the speed and returned to their hometown by boat.

　　On the day of home, the old and young people of Akiyama Village were waiting at the entrance of the village, this was the first title of Akiyama Village, and everyone was also honored, with Su Yanzhi such a family, the value of the girls and boys in Akiyama Village immediately rose.

　　The Su family's feast lasted for three days and finally ended, and the family cleaned up the courtyard for a whole day.

　　"Mother, come with me to the capital." At the dinner table, Su Yanzhi said.

　　Liu Shi was very happy to hear this, but she did not immediately agree, "I can't rest assured at home." ”

　　Su Dalang and Su Erlang naturally did not drag the old woman to enjoy the blessing, so they said: "Mother, you just go, there is me and my second brother at home to take care of, you don't have to worry." ”

　　"Yes, mother, the eldest brother is right, the third brother is an official in high school, you have worked hard for most of your life, it is time to go to the happiness." Su Erlang answered.

　　Everyone nodded, and Qiao Yue also said: "Mother, we have a place to live over there, everything is very convenient, you just have to enjoy the blessings, if you are not used to living, I will send you back." ”

　　A few people persuaded me word by word, and Liu Shi finally nodded.

　　Three years later.

　　"Mother, what are you looking at?"

　　In the small living room, a woman with a soft voice and Zhao Xiaofang walked in with a plate of snacks.

　　"Qinglian, you came just in time, come and help me see, these are all sent by the Xu family."

　　Jiang Qinglian is the step-brother of the Su family, a person from the capital, the family is engaged in the cloth business, a year and a half ago the two brothers of the Su family came to the capital with their children.

　　They did not come to defect to Su Yanzhi, even if Su Yanzhi took up his post at the Hanlin Academy, and the official title was Zheng Wupin.

　　Their business in Hong'an County was booming, and they did not come to the capital and only wanted to live a rich life in their hometown, but Su Erlang's son Su Zhengbao, because of his outstanding craftsmanship, was recommended by the sun boss of the bamboo weaving workshop to be a treasurer at the branch of the Thousand Weaving And Thousand Painting Workshop.

　　This is a rare opportunity, Su Erlang and his wife are together, since they are not assured that their son will come to the capital alone, they will simply come to the family of three.

　　The mother is not in the two brothers and are in the capital, Su Dalang naturally does not want to stay in Qiushan Village, the eldest daughter Yunniang's craftsmanship is also becoming more and more mature, and the silver saved is enough for the family to live, so the two brothers also came to the capital.

　　Su Yanzhi was so deeply respected by His Majesty that he was assigned to a three-entry mansion, where he lived with Qiao Yue and Liu Shi, and Zhou Qin, who was only the twentieth jinshi, was assigned to a county outside the capital as a county prince.

　　Liu Shi picked up a portrait and carefully examined it, "QingLian, what words were written last year?" Jiang Shi walked over and read, "Wang Tianping, nineteen years old, lifts people." ”

　　Liu Shi put it down and picked up another one, and Jiang Clan read, "Su Jin, twenty-three years old, Xiucai." ”

　　"This doesn't work." Liu Shi resolutely refused, her daughter was the sister of the Hanlin Grand Official, how could she match Xiucai, no, no.

　　Zhao Shi picked up a portrait, "Mother, sister-in-law, you look at this person, the appearance is good." Jiang Shi looked over, "Qian Qian? I know this man. Jiang Shi took the portrait and said, "Their family is engaged in the embroidery business, or an imperial merchant." ”

　　Liu Shi nodded, "Well, stay." ”

　　Although it is an imperial businessman, Xiao Yue's current business does not have to be bad for their family, and the Qiao family hot pot is even praised by His Majesty.

　　"Mother, this Yang Gongzi is the eldest son of Lord Shangshu, and he and Sanlang have been to the house before." Zhao Shi had a good memory, and he remembered it at once.

　　Liu Shi nodded, "Well, yes, since you are close to Sanlang, there must be no problem in that person's character, so stay and see." ”

　　Several people were discussing, and Qiao Yue walked in with the boiled flower tea.

　　"Mother, sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, the weather is hot, drink some ice sugar chrysanthemum tea that clears the heart and lowers the fire, just boiled."

　　"Yue'er, you can also come and see." When Liu Shi saw his daughter come in, he smiled and pulled her to his side.

　　Qiao Yue is now a prominent figure in the capital, the 'Qiao family hot pot' founded by one hand has opened three branches in the capital, this business is booming, and every time the festival comes, it is necessary to make an appointment half a month in advance, so it is not necessarily possible to make an appointment, because there are always some big-handed brothers, and there are directly chartered with a big hand.

　　With the strong rise of the hot pot restaurant, Qiao Yue's name quickly spread in the circle, and after learning that this expensive girl was still the sister of the former Yuanlang Su Yanzhi, she became more and more famous.

　　Now Qiao Yue is also seventeen years old, just in the miao age, the appearance of the city, the figure is delicate, and the hand holds the golden mountain and silver mountain, the number of young princes who come to the door to ask for marriage can not be counted, this famous matchmaker in the capital has mixed a face in the Su family, it is really a family of women who are begging.

　　Qiao Yue was not very disgusted with finding a partner for himself, he had been busy with his career for several years, and finally stabilized, and it was time to say kiss.

　　It's just that the person has not opened her mouth so far, she can only be silent, in ancient times for so many years, her personality has also changed a lot, not like the boldness and openness in modern times, more than a lot of daughters' family reserved.

　　Several people were discussing in a heated manner, and Lord Su, who had returned to lunch at the next time, saw the front yard quietly, and when he asked, he realized that another matchmaker had brought a portrait today, and the old lady was picking them.

　　Su Yanzhi returned to the house to change out of his imperial clothes, gave Jiang Yuan a few words, and went to the backyard.

　　"Haha, mother, this man's eyes are all drawn slanted." Qiao Yue smiled and pointed to the portrait in his hand and smiled.

　　"That's cockfighting eyes, not oblique." Liu Clan tapped his daughter lightly.

　　Everyone was laughing, Su Yanzhi outside the house shook her head, her mother was really a little anxious during this time, seeing that Qiao Yue was seventeen years old, although she was not called an old girl, but she had a lot of brides at this age.

　　"Mother, I'm back." Su Yanzhi walked in with a smile.

　　"Mother, it's time for lunch."

　　When Liu Shi saw his son come in, he waved and said, "There is no hurry to eat, you come over to help you with the details." ”

　　Su Yanzhi walked over, his eyes intersected with Qiao Yue, his warm eyes were full of affection, Qiao Yue's eyes dodged for a moment, and his white earlobes turned red.

　　Casually flipping through a stack of portraits on the table, Su Yanzhi shook his head: "Mother, these are not suitable for little sister." ”

　　"Why?" Several members of the Liu clan wondered.

　　One of Su Yan said solemnly: "The future husband of the little sister must know the roots of the matter, our time in the capital is still short, these men do not know how temperament and disposition, in case the little sister married in the past and was wronged, what to do?" ”

　　This actually spoke to Liu Shi's heart, and she frowned: "Yue'er is already seventeen years old, and she can't wait any longer." ”

　　Su Yanzhi coughed twice and said, "I have a very suitable candidate." ”

　　Several people looked at him, and Qiao Yue's eyes widened.

　　Su Yanzhi smiled: "He is good-looking, mild-tempered, filial to his mother and brother." He is a Wupin official personally sealed by His Majesty, who is upright and knowledgeable, and has an unlimited future. ”

　　His face was not red and breathless, Qiao Yue listened, almost couldn't help but laugh out, and darkly glanced at Lord Su who was proud of the spring breeze.

　　"This guy is good." Liu Shi nodded, "Then you find a day to bring people back to show me." ”

　　Su Yanzhi nodded in agreement.

　　Things were tentative, and several people went to the front yard to prepare for dinner.

　　Su Yanzhi and Qiao Yue walked slowly a few steps behind.

　　"How did I not know that Lord Su had such an excellent friend?" Qiao Yue turned his head to look at the man who was one head taller than himself.

　　Su Yanzhi covered his lips and smiled lightly, "What does Yue'er think of my friend?" Can you be worthy of the famous Boss Joe in Beijing? ”

　　Qiao Yue smirked and pouted, "When did the third brother learn this set?" ”

　　Su Yanzhi took a few steps closer to Qiao Yue's side, covered by wide sleeves, reached out and held Qiao Yue's silky jade hand, and his low voice was full of tenderness, "I have already asked Ah Yuan to ask for a matchmaker, tomorrow I will come to the door to ask for a kiss." ”

　　Qiao Yue's pale face suddenly turned red, and she said embarrassedly, "I didn't say I wanted to promise you." ”

　　Su Yanzhi laughed a few times, "Then I will keep pestering you until you agree to marry me as a wife." ”

　　The next day.

　　Liu Shi asked his two sons and daughters-in-law to wait at home, saying that he wanted to help her see how the excellent man Su Yanzhi said was.

　　Everyone sat in the living room and waited for about a cup of tea, only to see Zhang Zhongbo twisting her body and walking in with a smile on her face, followed by Su Yanzhi.

　　"Sanro, what about the man you're talking about?" Seeing that no one else had come in, Liu Shi asked doubtfully.

　　Su Yanzhi handed Zhang Zhongbo a look, and Zhang Zhongbo immediately stepped forward and said: "Old lady, I came to say hello to the four girls of your family today. She smiled brighter than the spring flowers, pointing to Su Yan's way: "Hanlin Grand Viewer, how about Su Sangongzi?" ”

　　yes!!!

　　Everyone was stunned, only Qiao Yue blushed and looked at Su Yanzhi.

　　The living room was quietly falling needles, for a while, Liu's eyes swept around the two of them, Su Dalang stared at his eyes and said, "Sanlang, why did you still introduce yourself?" ”

　　Although Su Yanzhi had already made preparations, he was still a little nervous, thinking about where to start, but he was amused by the sentence of his eldest brother.

　　Liu Shi glanced at him, looking at the situation, the two of them should have exchanged feelings for each other long ago, but they had been hiding from them.

　　Qiao Yue saw that Liu Shi was not happy, and quickly went forward to sit next to his mother to explain, and Su Yanzhi also walked over, embarrassed to make amends to his mother.

　　Zhang Zhongbo had never seen anything in the world, and smiled at the moment: "The old lady is kind in heart and adopts Miss Su, who in Beijing does not know that the old lady loves the girl more than her own child, and the girl's marriage is afraid that the old lady is the most worried thing." ”

　　"Su San Gongzi and the girl Qingmei Bamboo Horse grew up and have deep feelings, if they can be together, it is not the best of both worlds."

　　The Liu family is not old and old-fashioned, and the cousins and siblings are also married, not to mention that the two of them are not related by blood, and it is said that it is no big deal to spread out, it can be said that it is no big deal to raise a daughter-in-law.

　　"Mother, it's all sons, and they shouldn't hide from you." Su Yanzhi sincerely apologized and comforted his mother.

　　Looking at his son and then at his daughter, Liu quickly accepted the matter.

　　In fact, she had not moved the idea of letting Qiao Yue be a child bride for her son before, but unfortunately, the two had not dealt with each other since childhood, and their relationship with each other was worse than that of strangers, so she also stopped thinking about it, and she did not expect to go around in a circle, and her original idea was realized.

　　Sighing, Liu Shi pulled Su Yanzhi's hand on Qiao Yue's hand, "Sanlang, Niang believes that you can take good care of Yue'er, and even so, Niang will give you the second half of Yue'er's life." ”

　　Su Yanzhi's eyes were firm, "Mother, you can rest assured that your son promises to love and care for Yue'er forever." ”

　　Qiao Yue's blush was about to drip blood, and his gaze firmly fell on the hands of the two of them.

　　————————

　　Years later, the Qiao family hot pot has developed into the country's largest chain of restaurants, and its owner Qiao Yue's name has spread throughout the north and south of the river, and Su Yanzhi has also risen from the five pins of the Hanlin Courtyard to the one pin of the big member who is deeply valued by the emperor.

　　The story of Lord Su and his child bride was also written into a script, and as the storyteller in the restaurant tapped the ruler on the table, a crisp sound was made, and the sentence "I want to know what happened next, and listen to the next decomposition." "For the time being.
