Space takes me to ancient times

Chapter 127

When Qu Xi'er was expelled from the genealogy and delivered to Baixi Village, the four members of Lu Youzhi's family were completely dumbfounded. They never thought that the old Qu's family would be so heartless and must not care about family affection. , without reservation.

"Master..." Qu Xi'er looked at Lu Youzhi with teary eyes, she couldn't accept this result.

"Bitch, you mother and daughter are nothing but trash." Lu Youzhi glared at Qu Xi'er viciously, the loathing in his eyes was evident.

Qu Xi'er and his wife were startled, they huddled tightly together and looked at Lu Youzhi with fear in their eyes, with all kinds of feelings in their hearts.

"Father..." Lu Feng frowned tightly, and glanced in the direction of his mother and sister, but did not go forward to comfort him.

"Not busy, sooner or later we will find an opportunity." Lu Youzhi raised his hand to interrupt Lu Feng's words, without even looking at Qu Xier's mother and daughter, he turned and went into the house.

Lu Feng looked back at Qu Xier's mother and daughter, lowered his head and sighed weakly, and then followed Lu Youzhi into the house.

The matter of the Lu family finally settled down, Qu You solved a troublesome matter, and suddenly became much more energetic.The Chinese New Year is almost here, and almost every household has added new items. Qu’s Jinxiu Workshop is booming and almost sold out. Double-sided embroidered brocade handkerchiefs, Hunan embroidery forehead wipes, and Su embroidered brocade shoes, even those that are not usually sold. Sheets and pillowcases were also snapped up.

The prosperity of Jinxiufang made Qu You see business opportunities again, and she took advantage of the years ago to ship a batch of purely handmade silk flowers and bracelets again.The modern atmosphere is wrapped with a strong classical charm. When these ornaments produced by Qu’s embroiderers were put in Jinxiufang, it immediately caused a sensation in Yanlai County. People lined up to buy silk flowers and bracelets every day. endlessly.Even though everyone was unwilling to wait, no one dared to cause trouble in the Qu family's shop.Because all the people in Yanlai County know that Prince Rui of the Great Chu Kingdom is behind the store of the Qu family.

Time flies, and the Chinese New Year will be in a few days. Some shops in Yanlai County have been closed and closed, and they are busy going home to celebrate the New Year.Except for the closed furniture store in Qujia, other stores are still booming. There are still many people who come to buy pastries in Qujia pastry shop every day. New Year Cake, Da Cake, Yun Pian Cake, Misandao and Opening Smile.And Jinxiufang is not to be outdone, and sold a large number of wholesalers a year ago.Before the store closed, Qu You made a rough calculation, and the income in these days alone has almost caught up with the past half a year.

"Okay, go home..." Qu You put down his abacus, his eyes almost became slits when he laughed.

It gets dark very early in winter, and when Qu You and the others arrived home, it was completely dark.Grandma Qu seemed to be avoiding Qu You these days, but she became even more embarrassed when she saw her.To be honest, Qu You also felt a little guilty. How can you say that Qu Xi'er is the flesh that fell from her grandma. She has been hurting her for many years. Now that she has abandoned her own bones for her, how can she not feel any pain in her heart? .Tiger poison doesn't even eat children, let alone a person with thinking and feelings.Qu You lowered his head and sighed, said good night, and went back to the room.

This night, Nocturne slept extremely unsteadily, as if he had a lot of dreams in a trance, dreaming about modern parents, dreaming about the workplace, dreaming about all kinds of people, and dreaming about things that should not appear in dreams Prince Rui Chu Yu.

The second day is Xiaonian, on the 23rd day of the lunar calendar, the Stove Lord will be sent to heaven.No matter in modern times or ancient times, everyone paid more attention to this day, and everyone in the village went to work in the factory, and this family had difficulty in washing rice.There are some stocks in that house that are good enough to be used first, but those who don't have any are starting to worry.Qu You asked the villagers to split up and don't worry. In order to let everyone wash rice as soon as possible, Qu You asked the idle girls at home to come out to help one after another. This small act immediately aroused a lot of praise in Qinghe Village. Sound, the composer's reputation has once again risen to a higher level.

After breakfast, Qu You took people around for a walk, looking at the chickens and ducklings that had grown up enough to be slaughtered, Qu You's mind suddenly flashed.Chicken skeleton, roasted chicken neck, roasted duck, crispy duck feet, spicy duck neck, countless kinds of delicacies related to chicken and duck flew out of her head one by one.

"Miss Huanshan, I will write it down. We will open a large-scale farm in the next year and raise more chickens and ducks." Qu You turned around and told Huanshan the thoughts in his head.

"Miss, what are you doing raising such chickens and ducks? Is it possible to eat chicken every day in the future." Dairou asked innocently.

"First open a roast duck restaurant, and then open a braised cooked food processing factory." Qu You said with a proud face.

Roast duck restaurant, braised cooked food processing factory, what is that?Dai Ruan and Huan Shan followed behind Qu You in confusion, completely clueless.

"Who is managing these chickens, poultry, ducks and livestock now?" Qu You asked.

"Miss Hui, now it's the villain who manages these poultry." A dark and thin child came out from behind the fence.

Qu You narrowed his eyes and took a closer look, it looked so familiar, he seemed to have seen it somewhere. "Who are you……"

Puchi...

Dai Rou couldn't help laughing, but when she saw Qu You turned her head, she quickly shut her mouth.

"Miss, you don't remember. He is from Jiangjia Village. Last time you went to the furniture factory to see that he had no father and mother. It was very pitiful, so you brought him back." Made a mistake, Huanshan sighed, stepped forward and explained in a soft voice.

Oh... I remembered, it was the child brought back when Jiang Zhiwen was appointed as the deputy director of the furniture factory.Qu You nodded, indicating that he understood.

"How is it? Are you still used to staying in Qinghe Village?" Qu You asked with concern.

"Thank you miss, I'm fine." The black and thin boy bowed respectfully, grateful to Qu You in his heart.My life now is really good. I have clothes to wear, food to eat, and support myself with my own hands.At least you don't have to eat Baijiafan, wear Baijiayi, and live by looking at other people's faces.

"That's good. If you're not used to it, you can tell the manager above." Qu You walked around the poultry house and nodded in satisfaction.Well, he is a diligent and good boy. Not only does he raise the chickens and ducks well, he even cleans the poultry house very clean.

After giving two more instructions, Qu You went elsewhere.This year the Qu family did not buy piglets or calves. It seemed that if they wanted to eat them, they had to wait until the Chinese New Year to buy a few piglets from the butcher and slaughter them.

Today is the 23rd day of the lunar calendar, and Qu You was afraid that the price of raw pork would increase before the Chinese New Year, so he hurriedly led people back to the mansion.She went to the tofu shop and called the three brothers of the Qu family, and asked them to go to a butcher in a nearby village to buy some live pigs, and bring them back for the Chinese New Year.

In the afternoon, Qu You was afraid of delaying things, so he closed the factory early and sent a shuttle bus to take the employees home.Every household in Qinghe Village, including Jiangjia Village, washed rice until evening.

Taomi is a kind of sticky bean bun unique to the north, also known as soybean bun, bean bun, and northerners call it Taomi.Sticky bean buns are made at the beginning of winter and stored in tanks outdoors for the winter.On the day of the Chinese New Year, it is officially served on the dining table, which means that every year is high.

Legend has it that the Stove Lord will go to heaven on the 23rd day of the lunar calendar to have a year-end summary with the Jade Emperor. Because this year's days are so hot, Grandpa Qu and the others pay special attention to this year's stove sending activity.The first aunt brought over the bound grass mixed with bean dregs, the second aunt brought the prepared stove candy, and Mrs. Wang also brought the prepared cloth strips and red paper.Grandpa Qu took the whole family and began to burn incense and light candles, "Master Stove, you have seen the difficulties of the Qu family this year, you must speak well in front of the Jade Emperor, and continue to bless the Qu family next year." Then lit Red candles, lit red paper bamboo strips, and led everyone to kneel down to pray.The attitude of Qu Dongsheng and his wife is particularly serious, because Qu You once said that she is a disciple of the gods. On such an important day, their attitude is even more pious.Mu Qianhun and the others came here to join in the fun, as killers, they didn't believe in these strange powers at all.If it wasn't for Qu You's sake, they wouldn't even kneel.

The days passed by, and soon it was the 28th of the twelfth lunar month.Qu You asked the three cousins ​​to pull out the live pigs in the pen and slaughter them, and then asked Dongzi and others to go to several factories to notify the employees respectively, and distribute the New Year's benefits in the afternoon.

The Qu family had no experience in killing pigs, but these young men were very energetic. They held down the pig's limbs and tied the pig tightly to the table.Qian Yi stepped forward with a knife, fast and accurate, and the pig wailed a few times before losing its breath.

In the afternoon, after Qu You and the other workers arrived, they brought out a long table in the compound, distributed two catties of cakes, two catties of pork and half a plate of tofu to each family, and made the workers happy one by one. Alright, I was once again glad to be selected into the factory by the Qu family.

By the 29th, the factory had completely stopped working.All the employees working in the Qu family, whether they were from Qinghe village or Jiangjia village, gathered in the Qu family compound, quietly waiting for their wages.

"The Qu family's business has just started this year, and everyone has worked hard. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so I won't say anything unnecessary. Since everyone has decided to follow me, Qu You, I will definitely not treat you badly. Whether it is first The ones who come here are from the bottom line, and this New Year’s welfare is five hundred Wen per person, and each family gets a chicken and a fish."

After Qu You finished speaking, the people in the compound suddenly erupted.That's great, it turns out that during the Chinese New Year, which one doesn't sigh, even the people who work in the county can't get back a few taels of silver.This year is really different, there is that honest and honest family, several people work in the Qu family, the wages and welfare money alone are a lot of money.Each of these simple villagers looked at Qu You gratefully, thinking of her kindness in their hearts.

"Everyone's life is good, but don't forget the well digger when you drink water, and don't forget who made you live a good life." Zhang Lihua, who is now in charge of Jinxiu Workshop, looked around with a dignified face. .

Mu Qianhun and the others turned small flying knives in their hands, and looked at the villagers present with a smile on their lips.

"Yes, everyone has to think about who gave the good life." Li Siquan also stood out from the crowd to support Qu Jia.

"My boss, don't worry, we are not those wolf-hearted and ungrateful people." Li Xiran, the village head of Qinghe Village, and Jiang Zhiwen, the Lizheng of Jiangjia Village, stood up to express their views.Life in the village is so good now, there is a shuttle bus to work, a canteen at noon, and benefits are even given out during the Chinese New Year.

After the villagers scrambled for assurances, they began to collect things in an orderly manner.Qu You had all the things in her hands well prepared. She not only distributed benefits to the employees of the Qujia Factory, but also gave each of the students studying in Bailu Academy a Suzhou embroidery brocade handkerchief embroidered with green bamboo.

In Qinghe Village today, only Yao Bailian's family did not receive the things from the Qu family, and even the Tao family, who used to be with her, have honestly compromised with the Qu family.Seeing the people in the village carrying things in their hands and their wallets full of wages, Yao Bailian closed the door angrily and cursed at home.In the end, Li Wanting to Listen got bored and beat her up firmly, and then stopped.

When the employees' benefits were all distributed, Qu You brought the money to Mu Qianhun and the others. "No, the money is not much, it may not be as good as when you were killers, but..."

Qu You suddenly didn't know what to say, she just smiled and looked at Mu Qianhun, and slowly stretched out her hand.

Qian Yi and the others stared at the money in their hands in a daze. For them, ten taels of silver was just the cost of going to a restaurant for a drink, but today they feel that the money is extra reassuring.

"Thank you..." Mu Qianhun put the money in his arms without saying anything, and left with the others.

After the crowd dispersed, Qu You found Grandpa Qu, Grandma Qu and all the elders of the Qu family.She bowed to them respectfully, "Xiaoyou thanks all the elders for their support and trust in me this year. Without you, there would be no Quyou today. It is you who have made Quyou and the huge family of Qujia." family business."

What Qu You said was true and sincere, and the female family members of the Qu family cried, "Good boy, grandma..." Granny Qu stepped forward to help Qu You up with sobs, and she felt more distressed.

"The money is my New Year's gift to the elders, 200 taels per family." Qu You stood up with Grandma Qu's hand, and took out the bank notes in her purse.

"Xiaoyou, what are you doing? There are already enough filial piety people on weekdays. How can we pay back the money? Hurry up and take it back." Qu Chunsheng was the first to push the bank note back.

"That's right, we all spend our food and clothing at home, we don't want money wherever we need it." The second aunt, Cheng, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, deeply moved.

"Our family's conditions are good, and the three elder brothers have reached the age of marrying wives. The two aunts should not refuse, and leave money for the elder brothers to use when they get married. Grandma and grandpa are getting older. These Keep the money for yourself, and you can buy whatever you want in the future, don't worry about me." Qu You's heart is warm, and it's really heartwarming to meet such family affection after time travel.

After all the good words, the elders of the Qu family reluctantly accepted the bank notes.Seeing Qu You's sensible appearance, the female family members of the Qu family couldn't stop their tears from crying, their eyes turned red from crying, and those who celebrate the New Year are like rabbits.

On this day, everyone in the village and outside the village had a good night's dream. On the second day, it began to snow lightly outside. Qu You looked at the snow-covered appearance outside, and refrained from reciting a poem, "The view of the building is empty and smoked, and the snow in the early years Pass. The garden is full of jade trees, and the pool of water is the Milky Way."

"Good, good poem, good words!" A cheer came from behind Qu You.

Qu You looked back curiously, and saw that his father, Qu Dongsheng, was walking towards the main house with the newcomers Mr. Yuan and Mr. Lian.

"Mr. Yuan, Mr. Lian." Qu You politely blessed him.For Mr. Yuan, who used to be the Minister of Rites, and Mr. Lian, the magistrate of Jiangzhong County, Qu You respected him very much.

"Don't dare, dare not." Mr. Yuan and Mr. Lian hurriedly sideways to avoid it.This girl will be Prince Rui and Princess Rui in the future, how could they dare to accept her gift.

Qu You smiled, in her heart she was happy that Mr. Yuan and Mrs. Yuan knew the current affairs. It is no wonder that they were high-ranking officials. Although they were framed and lost their official positions, they still knew this way deeply.

"Miss's poem just now is neat and tidy, full of meaning, it is really a rare good poem." Mr. Lian said excitedly.

"Sir, you praised me. It's all chanted by boudoir girls when they have nothing to do."

"Miss is humble, such a great talent is really a blessing for our country of Chu." Mr. Yuan also interjected.

Qu You twitched at Chu's blessing.You all let the state of Chu be thrown into the coal pile, and you still remember the good fortune of the state of Chu.What a wooden fish-headed, pedantic person.

"Father, take the two gentlemen to rest in the room." Qu You moved away without wanting to say more.

"This……"

Mr. Lian wanted to say something more, but Mr. Yuan beside him pulled the hem of his clothes, so he shook his head and followed Qu Dongsheng into the main room with regret on his face.

Today, the Qu family's kitchen is the busiest place, Si Qingyan is in charge of the kitchen, the girls are the chefs of the chefs, the assistants are the assistants, everyone is talking and laughing about the food.This year the Qu family has a large population, and there is really no room for it in the kitchen, so we can only use oilcloth to build an earthen stove in the courtyard.The meal at noon was very rich, including Dongpo meat, boiled fish, drunken duck, crispy pork ribs, and steamed mandarin fish. The big guys were eating and talking about what happened this year, and the scene was very lively.

In the afternoon, Qu You took some time to let his father and the gentlemen write a few couplets together, and let the girls at home use red paper to cut out a few auspicious window grilles according to the patterns she drew.The boys at home stir-fried the stored mountain products, and everyone was busy in full swing.

The night in winter was getting dark very quickly. After the lanterns were hung up in Youshi, Qu You asked Huanshan to lead people to paste couplets on the gates of the mansion, and put all kinds of beautiful window grilles on the windows. Another string of bright red garland flowers was hung, and the whole Qujia was full of joy, and the meaning of the year finally came out.
