The best farmhouse

Chapter 231
Zhao Canniang nodded movedly: "Brother, I know, you should go now! Finish the business matters as soon as possible, and if there is anything that needs help, don't hesitate to speak up."

Zhao Channiang said seriously.

Zhao Qingfeng smiled: "Little girl, don't underestimate your brother. Your brother is also a man who can stand up to the sky. I know you care about me. Don't worry, if there is anything that needs your help, I will not be polite."

Zhao Canniang sent Zhao Qingfeng out of the yard with a smile.

At noon, Chen Zhongqiu came back with a happy face.

Seeing Chen Zhongqiu's expression, Zhao Canniang knew that things should be developing for the better.

As soon as Chen Zhongqiu entered the room, he smiled and said, "Although there were a few twists and turns, fortunately everything has been resolved."

Chen Zhongqiu looked a little rejoiced.

Zhao Canniang handed Chen Zhongqiu a handkerchief to wipe her hands, and then sat down: "What happened, from your tone, it seems that something really happened."

Chen Zhongqiu wiped his hands and gave the handkerchief to Lan Die, then sat down and said with a smile on his face: "During the trial, the magistrate sent someone to call the magistrate down and talk a lot in private , but Song Huai and the others have pleaded guilty, the magistrate did not listen to the magistrate, and tried according to the original law, and the people sent by the magistrate have a pretty face."

Chen Zhongqiu felt a little relieved when he thought of this incident.

Zhao Canniang looked at Chen Zhongqiu with a smile, and then said: "As long as the matter is settled, it will be fine. Didn't Aunt Xia go to court?"

According to Aunt Xia's temper, Zhao Canniang did not believe that Aunt Xia would be able to sit still.

Speaking of this matter, the smile on Chen Zhongqiu's face became even bigger: "Aunt Xia naturally wouldn't watch Song Huai being imprisoned, making a big fuss in the courtroom, and finally got a board and was helped out of the courtroom by Song Qinglian."

After Chen Zhongqiu finished speaking, Zhao Canniang laughed: "As long as Song Huai and the others can get the punishment they deserve, I don't have any other requirements."

"But Canniang, I always feel that this matter is not over yet. Look, what we thought before was that this matter should have something to do with the Ke family. The magistrate sent someone to intercede, which proves this. Song Huai should have been killed this time. Ke Tianlin took advantage of it."

Chen Zhongqiu felt vaguely worried when he thought about what had happened recently.

Zhao Canniang nodded: "Indeed, if this matter has something to do with Ke Tianlin, Song Huai should have been used."

Chen Zhongqiu stretched his waist, feeling a little tired, after all, he was either kneeling or standing in the courtroom.

"I don't think about it anymore, but after this time, we and Aunt Xia's family have completely become enemies."

Chen Zhongqiu couldn't help recalling his childhood. At that time, his relationship with Aunt Xia was still very good.

He and Song Qinglian have been playing together since childhood. Although they are not childhood sweethearts, they have a good relationship. Now that the trouble is like this, whether it is Chen Zhongqiu or Mr. Chen, they feel a little uncomfortable.

Seeing the regretful expression on Chen Zhongqiu's face, Zhao Canniang smiled slightly, and said, "Don't think too much about it, it's because the Song family is sorry for you, and it's not that you failed the Song family first. Come on! Look at the relatives of our family, there are still a few left."

Zhao Canniang was in a bad mood. In fact, although she looked like she didn't care about some things, she still cared about them in her heart.

Chen Zhongqiu walked to Zhao Canniang's side and held Zhao Canniang's hand: "Don't think too much, it's like what you said to me, at least we are fine now, that's enough."

Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory, where everything can be satisfactory, and where everyone can like it.

Zhao Canniang was more content in her heart: "By the way, there are only a few days left, how is the food and grass you prepared?"

Chen Zhongqiu nodded: "We're almost ready, we'll start loading the car in two days, and we'll start sending it away when Master Bai and the others are rested. It's just that Channiang and we don't have much money left."

Grain and grass need silver to buy, and all the money that is taken out is cash, so buying so much grain and grass is naturally a lot of money.

In the Chen family's business, as long as there is any money earned, it is put into the grain and grass, and now it feels a little difficult.

Zhao Canniang frowned: "Hasn't Zhenbaozhai sold anything recently?"

Chen Zhongqiu shook his head, then smiled wryly: "No, I think it's a little weird. The things in Zhenbaozhai should be sold well, but I don't know what happened recently. Those treasures in Zhenbaozhai suddenly looked like It’s like it can’t be sold, I think there is a problem in the middle, and I want to check it out, but I don’t have time recently.”

When Zhao Canniang heard this, she was very worried: "You mean you think there is something wrong with this?"

I don't know if Zhao Canniang is sensitive, she always feels that there is a shadow of Ke Tianlin in the middle.

Chen Zhongqiu nodded: "I think there is a problem. You think that even if the treasures in Zhenbao Zhai are not easy to sell, there will be no problems with other things in Zhenbao Zhai. Now what happened is here, other things in Zhenbao Zhai It's not easy to sell, and it feels like our customers are being blocked."

When Zhao Canniang heard this, she became even more worried: "Zhongqiu, do you think this matter is from the Ke family?"

Zhao Canniang is a little sensitive now.

Chen Zhongqiu's face was a little heavy: "I don't know if this matter has anything to do with the Ke family. Anyway, I decided to start investigating this matter tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Besides, many businesses have not been very good recently."

Chen Zhongqiu has been busy preparing food and grass recently, but he also knows something about other businesses.

Zhao Canniang could only sigh: "Leave the Zhenbaozhai business to me. You manage the food and grass affairs, and pay attention to safety. The food and grass business last time is a lesson. Seeing that the food and grass are about to be sent away, don't fall short."

In Zhao Canniang's eyes, Ke Tianlin was insane.

Zhao Canniang did not forget to go to Qin's in the afternoon.

Because they are about to leave, Qin and Chen have been busy packing their things recently.

In fact, there is nothing to take away, after all, you can buy it in Yucheng, but there are some things that you are reluctant to part with, and you find it troublesome to take them away, the two hesitate to pick and choose, time passed.

Shopkeeper Zhang made a big decision this time, to go with Qin Shi. What Zhang Zhang said was that he found the true love of his life only at dusk and dusk. stay old.

Zhao Canniang walked into the yard, but saw Qin's yard was in a mess.

Qin Shi was wearing a dark purple brocade skirt, her head was simply tied up with two gold hairpins, and she sat under the shade of the tree, looking at the things in front of her and worrying.

As soon as she saw Zhao Canniang coming, she immediately stood up and said, "Canniang, you are here, quickly help your mother to look at these things and which ones need to be taken away.

Qin's face was sad.

Zhao Canniang stepped forward and began to check the things piled up in the yard.

The more Zhao Canniang became more and more helpless: "Mother, isn't it ten days before you leave? Why did you start packing up so early? Also, it's impossible for you to plan to take all these things away?"

Zhao Canniang looked at the things piled up on the ground with some chills.

Not to mention the clothes, the key is the vase and the wooden table. Do these really need to be taken away?If all these things were taken away, it would be a complete move.

Seeing the surprise on Zhao Canniang's face, Mrs. Qin frowned helplessly: "Mother just doesn't want to part with these things. In fact, they are not very valuable, but she just doesn't want to part with them. Look at this vase, which you gave me last time, and these clothes , The fabrics are all sent by you, as well as your brother and your sister-in-law, I am afraid that if I keep it for a long time, it will not be worn out, and I feel that it is a bit too much to take away."

Qin's face was distressed.

Zhao Canniang laughed when she heard this: "Mom, I know that these things are very meaningful, but I think there is really no need to take these things away. Look at this vase. If you want to bump all the way on the road, it's easy. The bad ones, if you are reluctant to part with these things, pick out the important ones, such as the things I gave you, just find one you like and take it away, keep it by your side as a thought, lock up everything else, wait Just look it up when you come back later.”

As Zhao Canniang spoke, she began to turn over the things on the ground. Everything that Zhao Canniang gave to the Qin family seemed to have a commemorative meaning.

Mrs. Qin listened carefully to what Zhao Canniang said, and finally said after a long time: "Well, I will listen to you, take away the things I am most reluctant to part with, and lock up the rest. By the way, I have a lot of jewelry and headgear here. I don't even want to take it away, you see how to deal with it."

Qin pointed to the box beside her and said.

In the past, there was no silver in the family, and even the silver hairpin was considered extremely precious. Since then, Zhao Canniang and Zhao Qingfeng wanted Qin to dress up beautifully, so whenever they saw something good, they would give it to Qin. Buy it back.

Zhao Canniang picked up the box, and then said: "I think you should keep these things. They are not heavy. I will take them back and put them with me later. If I run out of money in the future, I will sell them."

What Zhao Canniang said was a joke, but Qin Shi gave Zhao Canniang a blank look: "You girl, every time you grab something good or bad, you start saying it. How can you use it for money? Don't say these things in the future."

Qin has a good chance of these things.

Zhao Canniang nodded with a smile, but was very worried in her heart.

"By the way, mother, this time you go to Yucheng, you can go to look for the third aunt. I think the third aunt is much better than before, because she shouldn't be as greedy as before. There is also a talker over there." people."

Actually, Zhao Channiang was still worried.

Qin nodded with a smile: "I know all this. Your brother told me everything. There is nothing to worry about when I leave. I am mainly worried about you. You are here alone now, and neither mother nor brother are by your side, but Take care of yourself and your children."

They all said that it was their own mother who kissed her, and the Qin family was like this. No matter how good the Chen family was to Zhao Canniang, in Qin's heart, she still felt somewhat uneasy.

Zhao Canniang nodded with a smile and said: "Mother, don't worry, there is a godmother here, and I will go to Yucheng when I have time after I finish my work."

Baiyun County is somewhat limited, if it weren't for the fact that the Chen family master and Mrs. Chen were reluctant to leave here, Zhao Canniang might have asked Chen Zhongqiu to move to Wangcheng long ago.

After all, the bigger the place, the greater the opportunities. Now in Baiyun County, it is very troublesome to deal with outside affairs every day.

Mrs. Qin nodded: "That mother is waiting for you in Yucheng. Hey, I don't know if I can come back after I go. No matter what, Miss Chan hopes that you will take good care of yourself."

"Mother, don't worry, I'm not a little girl now, I'm a mother now, even if I don't think about myself, I will think about my children! Mother, shopkeeper Zhang..."

Zhao Canniang stopped here.

Qin's face turned red. In fact, in private, Qin and Shopkeeper Zhang have reached a unified agreement, and they will get married when they leave Baiyun County.

"Canniang, do you think it's true that mother did this?" Qin's face was a little doubtful.

She heard a lot of gossip. After all, the shopkeeper Zhang often went to and from Zhao's house, so it was inevitable that some bad words would come out from outside.

Just thinking about Zhao Canniang and Zhao Qingfeng's persuasion and entrustment, and not wanting to face these things in my heart, it is equivalent to the current Qin family being paralyzed by herself.

Zhao Canniang knew that it was because of Qin's unresolved knots in her heart, as long as the knots were untied, nothing would happen.

"Mom, you are thinking too much. No one will say anything when you are together. Let me ask mother, does shopkeeper Zhang not have a principal wife now?"

Qin nodded.

Zhao Canniang smiled and said, "You don't have a husband now, do you?"

Qin then nodded.

Zhao Canniang immediately said: "That's right, shopkeeper Zhang doesn't have a real wife, and now I marry you as the wife of the real wife, and your filial piety has long passed, and that person was so sorry to you before, don't you want to marry me?" Guarding him forever? The Chastity Archway is stupid in my opinion. Have you done anything to apologize to Zhao Quanfa? You are free now, and you can do whatever you want. As for the gossip outside, you really don’t need it Go and listen, the mouth grows on other people, there are red and white, don't you have to take care of them one by one?"

Zhao Canniang's words made Qin's decision more firm.

"Actually, whether it's you, your godmother, or Mrs. Chen, they all persuaded me like this. Shopkeeper Zhang is a good person and treats my mother well. It must be a lie if my mother says I'm not interested. I just think about his situation. There are so many children and concubines in the family, I feel a little guilty."

Shopkeeper Zhang's current choice is equivalent to abandoning everything in the family and leaving with the Qin family. Such a sacrifice must be great.

Zhao Canniang smiled slightly and continued: "As I said before, he is the wife who married you as the main wife. Mother, let me ask you, are you willing to stay in Baiyun County with Zhang Zhang and face those annoying things together, or are you willing to stay with the shopkeeper Zhang? Shopkeeper Zhang went away to live in a different place?"

People are selfish, so is Zhao Canniang. She is not a saint and cannot satisfy everyone. She only knows that she can never do anything wrong to herself in this life.

Naturally, she didn't want the Qin family to face those annoying house fights.

If shopkeeper Zhang had feelings for those concubines at home, it would be fine, but the problem is that shopkeeper Zhang has no feelings for those concubines at all. Zhao Canniang later found out that those concubines were actually carried in by shopkeeper Zhang's main house.

The reason is that shopkeeper Zhang's wife, who died before, was in poor health and unable to have children, so she carried so many concubines in for shopkeeper Zhang.

The shopkeeper Zhang doesn't come back often, and every time he goes back to rest for a night, he will leave.

According to what the shopkeeper Zhang told Chen Zhongqiu for so many years, he spent a lot more time sleeping in restaurants than at home.

When Zhao Canniang heard this, she didn't know where it was. I'm afraid shopkeeper Zhang had no memory of that family in his heart.

Qin is also unwilling to face those annoying things, she just wants to live a simple life: "Channiang is a bitch, every time I need you and your brother to remind me to be normal, in fact, I I know these things well in my heart, so I don’t care if I don’t talk about it, I discussed it with your brother and shopkeeper Zhang, and on the first day before leaving, I invite everyone to get together and talk about things between me and shopkeeper Zhang, which can be regarded as a banquet. "

Zhao Canniang has no objection to this arrangement, after all, it is not the first marriage, and there is no need to make a big deal, simple is best.

"Well, do you need my help with this matter?"

Qin shook her head: "Your sister-in-law can arrange this matter, and your godmother will also help, but it's unnecessary. By the way, you didn't suffer from yesterday's incident, right?"

Zhao Canniang shook her head: "No! Last night they knelt for a while and left, we didn't go out at all."

Chen's residence is not that far from Zhao's residence, so we'll know what's going on there in a while.

Qin Shi probably knew about the farce of Aunt Xia's mother and daughter at the door last night.

"It's good that there's nothing to do. Those two mothers and daughters are really hard to deal with. When I see them, I can't help but think of your deceased grandma."

Zhao Canniang went to a chair beside her and sat down: "I don't have to worry about them making trouble in the future. The Yamen has closed the case today, and Song Huai and the others have been sent to prison."

After Zhao Canniang finished speaking, Qin felt relieved: "As long as the case is closed, it will be fine. Is your arm injury healed?"

Zhao Canniang nodded: "Okay, it's scabbed, as long as you don't pull it or use force, it should be fine soon, mother, you don't have to worry."

At this time, Qin was also sitting next to Zhao Canniang; "To be honest, Canniang, I was looking forward to leaving here before, but now I feel a little bit reluctant to leave here. What do you think is going on?"

Zhao Canniang stretched out her hand to touch Qin's hand, and said with a smile: "You have lived here for decades, and you are naturally reluctant to leave suddenly. By the way, how is your mother Qin Xue's matter?"

Qin shook her head slightly: "What else can you do? It's not that you don't know your uncle's temper. If you don't care, don't care. As long as you take care of things, even your grandmother's words won't work. The child in Qin Xue's stomach has been taken away. , now recuperating at home, it is estimated that after [-] days of care, she will be sent to a nunnery. Your aunt is in the house now, looking for your uncle every day to save her, but your uncle seems to have made up his mind this time, so I said Men still can't push too hard, if your aunt listened to people's persuasion, she wouldn't be what she is now."
