Shen Qing nodded approvingly, "Your Excellency, it's beyond my expectation."
The words were very abrupt, and Xu Lu didn't understand what she meant, so she had to reply, "Young girl's idea is beyond my expectation. I thought you were only interested in gold and silver, and just wanted to make money!"
It was difficult for Shen Qing to comment on this sentence, "Then you..." The question he was originally going to ask was now difficult to ask. He thought about the wording before saying: "Mr. Xu, if I have something to say, I will say it directly. Now we have more family members. , there are also many girls, and most of them are single. My husband is a scholar. I heard that scholars are the most disciplined. There are differences between men and women! So you will see in the future..."
Xu Lu writes for people on the street, and she has seen the warmth and warmth of people, but she can't hear the tone of her words, "I understand, the girl wants me to avoid taboos, then I'd better ask someone to deliver my meals from now on." !”
"It's good that you understand, sir. I have one last question. What do you think about taking the exam for fame? Do you still have this idea? I heard that among the people who come to Beijing to take the exam, there are some ancient and elderly people. Sir, if you have money in the future, you still want to pursue an official career. ?"
Xu Lu put a hand behind her back and sighed suddenly: "Of course I want to, but the reality does not allow it. Besides, I am probably not the material to be an official. I don't understand the officialdom, and I have no background. I am alone." , what are you going to fight with others about?"
After Xu Lu left, Shen Qing had a lot to think about.
At the moment, it seems that this person is quite good, but I wonder if he is qualified to be her brother-in-law.
Of course, the premise is that he will not take the exam for merit. Anyway, she does not expect her sister to become an official wife.
Early the next morning, the whole family got into action and began to collect cabbage, radishes, green garlic, and shallots.
Some plant more, such as cabbage, and some plant less.
The Fan family also has seeds, but they don't pickle them themselves. They sell them to the Shen family at market prices, and Shen Qing makes the recipe for pickling.
A small stream was diverted in front of the door, and everyone built a pool with pebbles from the river. There was an opening at the top and bottom, and the harvested vegetables were transported to the shore. Someone was responsible for cutting the roots and peeling off the yellow leaves, so that there would be flowing water for washing. , save time and effort.
After washing, when the weather is nice, I put it on a stone by the river to dry. If it can't be dried, I take it back to the courtyard and spread out a mat to dry.
The Fan family is about to hold a banquet and transport carts of wine and food to their home. After finishing their work here, they go back to doing things at home.
The work of chopping, collecting and picking vegetables is done by the long-term workers hired by the family. The girls wash the vegetables by the river, and the boys run back and forth holding the vegetables, drying them and sorting them.
Shen Qing was squeezed away after doing it for a while. They all thought she was in the way and wouldn't let her interfere.
Shen Hui smiled and persuaded her, "Even I have been driven away, so don't stay there. Why don't you go to Fan's house and see how their new house is decorated."
Granny Shen came over with a basket on her back, "Tell Liu Ye to follow you. They have a lot of family members, so don't let anyone rush you."
Girls washing vegetables laughed.
"Master, you just need to take command. There is no need for you to do this work yourself."
"That's right, is it possible that you still want to compete with us for a living?"
"Hahaha! Girl, is there any meat at noon? As long as there is meat, you can do whatever you ask me to do!"
"We also want to eat meat. Is it ready for braised pork?"
An older woman scolded: "Isn't what we ate meat last night? We are killing chickens and ducks. I can't keep your mouth shut! I'm afraid even the landlords won't be able to eat meat like this if they eat meat every day." Woolen cloth!"
Li Shengnan said quickly: "Mom is right, isn't tomorrow the day for Aunt Fan's family to get married? Can you open a separate table for us? We also want to eat noodles!" Mrs. Fan happened to come over with a basket. Hearing what the girls said, she smiled and said: "What's there to say? I'll ask the food delivery person to bring a table separately. You don't have to run around to squeeze in, and you can still eat." She was worried about the girls not being able to eat. It is better to squeeze in with outsiders, so I came up with this method.
As soon as they heard that there was indeed a feast, the girls burst into laughter, and their clear and melodious laughter spread far and wide.
The boys who carried the burdens and the young people who helped in the Fan family kept looking this way.
After all, it's not easy to see so many girls gathered in one place at once.
Shen Qing led Liu Ye to Fan's house.
Their houses are all newly built, but they have two courtyards separated by a Taoist wall.
The adobe house where Boss Fan, his wife, and Fan Cuicui live has three rooms in one courtyard and a kitchen next to it.
The son and his newly married daughter-in-law live in a blue-brick house with three rooms, but it is not big. The yard is flat, and the stone rollers have stepped on it, so even if it rains, there will be no pits.
There is a small door in the courtyard wall of the two families. It will be open, and the banquet will be in the elder's courtyard.
Shen Qing took Liu Ye into the new house and looked at the house full of Hongxizi. The windows, bronze mirrors, and the few pieces of furniture were all covered with stickers.
"Isn't this furniture a little short?" she asked puzzledly.
It stands to reason that the Fan family would not forget to buy even the most common willow furniture, right?
But look at this room, except for a bed, a dressing table, a wardrobe, there is nothing else, not even a bench.
Fan Xiaoshan stood behind her and explained: "The furniture is from their family's dowry, and there are some other things that were agreed before. My mother dare not fill the house full for fear that there will be no place to put the dowry."
Shen Qing nodded, she didn't understand these things either.
She then went to the makeshift kitchen, where the chef hired from Hongfu Restaurant had already begun preparing the banquet.
Guests will come one after another tonight, including Mr. Fan’s old relatives, and Fan’s natal family. Because of the long distance, they usually come early and stay here for two days, and then leave after seeing the bride off. , is also a helper.
Fan Xiaoshan has been following her. During this period, Fan Xiaoshan will introduce people she doesn't know, and they are basically relatives of their family.
Now that the Fan family has moved down the mountain, it is easier for relatives to come and go.
When he walked up to the cook, because the cook belonged to Feng Chengcheng, he naturally recognized Shen Qing and treated her with great respect.
"Here comes the girl! Can you take a look at what I have here? If you think something is not enough, just say it, and I will make serious changes."
Shen Qing saw the greasiness on his face and said with a smile: "The pot of braised pork made by master is ruddy in color, the color is excellent, and the shape is just right. Just by looking at it, you can tell that it tastes good. I am a home cook." How dare you, a little girl who knows how to cook, instruct the master in cooking? If you tell me, you will make others laugh."
Who wouldn't like to hear her words that belittle herself and elevate others?
The cook smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes. He rubbed his hands and kept saying that he wanted to invite her to taste the food.
Shen Qing raised his hand to stop him and said, "I see that the master looks good. When the bride-to-be comes over tomorrow, I will take a look. My dear, the Fan family has even chosen a good-looking cook. It must have been a waste of money." The price is so high that those women who haven’t married yet will be jealous to death!”
The words were very abrupt, and Xu Lu didn't understand what she meant, so she had to reply, "Young girl's idea is beyond my expectation. I thought you were only interested in gold and silver, and just wanted to make money!"
It was difficult for Shen Qing to comment on this sentence, "Then you..." The question he was originally going to ask was now difficult to ask.
