Poor family mother and son

Wushu Village was Chu Qing's former residence, so Chu Qing regarded it as his hometown. He came back this time, firstly to visit Mr. Xie, and secondly to see his hometown.

Because of Chu Qing, Huang Zhong and many Chu family members also regarded this place as their hometown. When they heard that Chu Qing was back, they all gathered here.

Huang Laosan accompanied Huang Zhong to Wushu Village on this trip. He saw the place where his father once "study and fought", and he was generally respected - the villagers all called him "noble man" when they saw him - very It was satisfying, and the feeling of oppression caused by Chu Qing and Xiaobao was reduced a lot.

What made him particularly happy was that his old father was in much better condition. He had basically remembered everything that had happened recently. If he still had time to think about it, he would yell at him, but his voice was quite loud.

Really, when I was young, I was really happy to be beaten and scolded by my father, because it proved that I was not an "orphan" and that there were still people to take care of me, so Huang Laosan was content.

It's a pity that the old father couldn't bear to delay Chu Qing for too long. He was going back home on August 26. Chu Qing gave him the set of glassware before leaving.

Huang Zhong refused and said, "These are all good things. You can keep them for big things."

Chu Qing said: "Our glass blowing skills are very good now. I will make a few more sets and send them to you."

Old Huang Zhong was very happy. He packed the appliances in boxes himself and stuffed them with a lot of soft pads for shock absorption, for fear of being damaged by bumps.

But he returned the thermometer to Chu Qing: "Girl, I don't take this with me. Fractionation and temperature are top secrets. Don't tell anyone;

Also, you have to keep all your crafts secret, especially things that play a key role like thermometers. Don't sell them. "

Chu Qing was so moved that she couldn't say anything.

Huang Zhong was so loyal to Daxuan and the court, yet he told Chu Qing such things. This was a tacit admission of Chu Qing's "disloyalty".

For the old man, it must be so contradictory and tormenting inside.

"This set of experimental equipment," Huang Zhong said, "I will look at it every day when I get home. As long as I look at them, I am sure that my health will be fine. Don't worry about me."

This separation, when we will see each other again, and whether there will be another chance to see each other again, are all unknown to Huang Zhong, so let the children worry less.

"Dad!" Chu Qing's voice choked with sobs: "Don't just show off and watch. Didn't I teach you the distillation method? You can go back and distill your family's wine to make alcohol;

You can also distill flower water to make fragrant dew. If the fragrant dew is pure and strong, you can also add a small amount of alcohol to blend it to make the fragrance release longer...

Dad, these things are very interesting. Please study them. Don’t just display these objects, put them to use, eh?
Maybe we can make the best fragrance, and we can also add some wealth to our grandsons and daughters... My Chu family hasn't made high-end products for these things yet, so you have to work hard! "

After he finished, he said to Huang Laosan again: "Huang Laosan! Did you hear that? Accompany the old man to study!"

This was the first time that Chu Qing called him "Huang Laosan" in person. In the past, only Xiaobao called him this way, and Chu Qing called him by his first name. It seemed to be respectful, but in fact he was alienated.

Huang Zhaoyan was not annoyed at all when Chu Qing called him that, but was moved: Chu Qing did it because the old man did not hesitate to reveal her family's craftsmanship.

Huang Laosan agreed loudly: "Yes, I heard it! I will definitely study with the old man every day!"

Chu Qing really cares about his old man, he appreciates it!

Xiaobao also gave Huang Zhong the New Year painting that he had spent several days carving with his own hands: "Grandpa Huang, take this back and study it. You can try it with your own hands. If you try it out and send it to me, you will be criticized if you don't pass it." Yo!"

Let the old man go back and have something to do, use his brains and hands, and Huang Laosan will always be with him. I hope the old man's condition can be delayed.

…………

This trip to "return to my hometown to visit relatives" lasted ten days. On August 27, Chu Qing planned to return.

Counting the days, it’s time for the emperor to come to Yong’an Palace with a cooperation contract, right?Even if there is no contract, there should at least be a decree sent to Yong'an Mansion?Chu Qing is really thinking about it.Moreover, it is time for the new mansion to be ventilated and the moisture inside to be dried. Mr. Yongan still has to go back and continue his work.

Swallows return to find their old strongholds, and their splendor is gone.

Parting is always sad. Yesterday I sent Huang Zhong back, and today I have to send away Chu Qing and her son.

Mr. Xie's eyes were red, and Mr. Xie's old wife had already wet her front with tears.

Zhang Erni, on the other hand, smiled with her big belly: "Don't shed tears. Although it is not easy for my sister to come back once, we can go find her. After I unload my belly, I will take you to Yong'an Mansion. I know the road well." !”

Zhang Mingyu also came to say goodbye. He has now been promoted to Deputy Qianhu and the head of the Jiqing Prefecture Council. The original Deputy Qianhu, like Bai Hua, was promoted to Qianhu and transferred to Jilong Prefecture as the person in charge and commanded Jilong Prefecture. and Jiqing Mansion.

Jizhou was divided into two, Jiqing Mansion and Jilong Mansion, which meant that there was one more governing body. The emperor was very scheming, but Chu Qing was also very satisfied because all his old acquaintances had better places.

There was no ceremony for the farewell. Chu Qing refused to allow it, and also refused to accept the "earth rituals" sent by the prefects and magistrates. He simply asked them to go and do whatever they wanted with their things.

She said this: "I am an idler, but you are not. I appreciate your kindness, but please go to your posts, perform your duties, and benefit the people."

Little clichés came out of his mouth, and the high-ranking officials were so intimidating that officials at all levels were stunned and speechless, and they all seemed to be unable to speak.

After all, the magistrate was brave enough to step forward with pen, ink, paper and inkstone in his hand and said: "It is rare that Lord Yong'an comes back, so I would like to ask him to leave his calligraphy treasure as a memorial."

"Well..." Chu Qingxin said. It seemed like it wouldn't be good to refuse the whole situation, so let's agree, and said, "It's okay."

So, the magistrate personally held the inkstone, and the two magistrates held the paper in their hands. Chu Qing dipped his pen in the ink. Suddenly a strange thought came to him - should I write "genuine"?
Oh, forget it, be serious, you can't laugh in front of so many people.

Chu Qing calmed down his expression and wrote Zheng Xie*'s poem: "Bamboo and Stone".

I insist that Qingshan will not relax,
The root was originally in the broken rock.

Thousands of blows are still strong,
Ren Er has east, west, south, north winds.

Using things to illustrate principles and supporting things to express ambitions not only explains oneself clearly, but also encourages officials.

Chu Qing cooperated well with "Zheng Jing'er".

The magistrate waited for the ink to dry and carefully put it away. The other officials were not as high-ranking as the magistrate and did not dare to fight for it. They did not dare to go to Yong'an Gong again to ask for the ink treasure. They were extremely jealous.

Chu Qing did not let the brothers of the Chu family or the villagers see him off. At most, he said goodbye at the entrance of the village. He only asked Chu Wu and Chu Lu to see him off on behalf of everyone.

On the way, Chu Qing left Chu Wu 2 taels of silver notes and the deed of a shop in Jiqing Fucheng: "Chu Wu, you are older but your child is young. Go to Fucheng and send your son to Fucheng to educate him well." .”

Then he said to Chu Wu and Chu Lu: "Make more money, buy more land and build more shops. Our family has plenty of things to sell. Within three years, you two will be responsible for supporting the tea shop in Jiqing Mansion."

When Chu Wu and Chu Lu heard this, they knew that their boss was getting involved in the tea business, and they were very happy. Chu Lu said, "Then we have to hurry up. Not only do we want to sell tea, we also have to contact workshops that make tea boxes and tea cans." , Boss, please arrange a few more tea sets of different grades!"

Chu Wu was greatly inspired and immediately said to Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, you are very knowledgeable. Please compile some origins and allusions of different tea types, and also provide colorful illustrations!"

Xiaobao was confused after hearing this, and asked Qing Qing doubtfully: "Mom, do you assign tasks to them, or do they assign tasks to us?"
