Planting a fairy in ancient times

Chapter 415 441. Qingluan is an official
"No, no, parents and the others are not like this. The marriage between Xiaozhi and Xiaomao was arranged by my mother. If parents disagree, they won't disagree until now." Chen Qingshi waved his hands repeatedly.

The marriage between Chen Xiaozhi and Xiaomao was agreed by Chen Wang.

After the Zhou family's accident, Chen Qingshi never thought of retiring the engagement for his mother's sake.

In the past two years, the villagers of Xinghua Village have grown sweet potatoes and sold sweet potato seeds. Every family has improved a lot, and the Zhou family is no exception.

He was the only heir in Xiaomao's house. After Chen Xiaozhi married, he would be able to be the master of the house.

Chen Qingshi felt that there was no need for Chen Wang to regret the marriage at this time.

"The head of the family, what the second sister-in-law said makes sense. Think about it, after leaving Xinghua Village, Mother said a lot of strange things along the way." Wang Laidi hurriedly chimed in.

At first, Wang Laidi thought that Chen Erniu and Chen Wang really couldn't bear to be separated from each other, so they forced their family to go to the capital together.

However, along the way, the Wang family of Chen often said that Xiao'e is rich, their family can enjoy the glory, and they can find someone with good conditions for marriage in the future.

Wang Laidi thought for a long time before she realized that Chen Wang's disapproval of their family staying in the village had other plans for Xiaozhi's marriage.

"My mother, don't think about it. You can't just regret the engagement. That child, Kitty Mao, is filial and willing to work, and he is kind to Xiaozhi. What else do we have to dislike?" Chen Qingshi didn't believe his parents would It's that bad.

As the saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than destroy one marriage.

Although Chen Qingshi was hit by Chen Erniu and his wife from time to time, he still believed that his parents would treat his children well.After all, they are close relatives!

"Why not? My mother-in-law also said that the longer the twigs grow, the more beautiful it is. It would be a pity to stay in the village and marry the kitten as a village woman. The head of the house, you probably didn't hear it?" Wang Laidi recalled the past. , his complexion is getting uglier.

"I...I..." Chen Qingshi was told by Wang Laidi, and he felt that there was such a thing.

"Third brother, third younger brother and sister, I remember that before Xiaoyu and I left home, my mother-in-law said that I was going to the capital, why didn't I leave until now?" Jin Cuicui was afraid that Chen Qingshi and his wife would quarrel, so she quickly changed the subject.

"Oh~! Don't mention it. We left home two months ago, father-in-law found the wrong way and took us to Xingyi Mansion." Speaking of this, Wang Laidi was full of bitterness.

"Have you gone to Xingyi Mansion?" Jin Cuicui was stunned.

After passing the Pingjiang Mansion, the capital goes north, and Xingyi Mansion goes west, which is not the same direction at all!

Chen Qingshi looked embarrassed.

As a son, he can't say that his father doesn't know how to pretend and command blindly along the way, can he?

"It won't take more than a month for you to turn back from Xingyi Mansion, right? I heard people say that it takes six or seven days for a mule cart to arrive from Xingyi Mansion to Pingjiang Mansion." Jin Cuicui asked.

"Alas~! Second sister-in-law! We got separated from our father-in-law, mother-in-law, elder brother and the others. We were delayed in Xingyi Mansion for more than half a month and we couldn't find them, so we turned back." Speaking of this matter, Wang Laidi couldn't help it. Wipe away a handful of bitter tears.

"What? The parents-in-law and eldest brother are gone?" Jin Cuicui was surprised.

Jin Cuicui thought that Chen Erniu and the others were also in Pingjiang Fucheng!

"More than a month ago, we just arrived outside the city of Xingyifu and encountered a wave of fleeing people. Our mule was frightened and ran for sixty or seventy miles before stopping. The next day, we went back to find Father, mother, elder brother, and the others have not been found." Chen Qingshi was a little disappointed.

"The child's father is so stubborn. I said let's go back to the village by ourselves. He insisted on staying in Xingyi Mansion to find someone. No, we didn't find him after searching for more than half a month, so we planned to go home. Passing by Pingjiang Fucheng, I just came here to have a look at your second sister-in-law." Speaking of what happened that day, Wang Laidi felt lingering fear.

After the mule was frightened, Chen Qingshi almost lost control of the mule, and Wang Laidi and his wife were almost thrown off the car and died.

Fortunately, there was no danger in the end.

"Third brother, third younger sibling, what are your plans now?" Jin Cuicui asked.

"We plan to go back to the village in a few days." Wang Laidi said embarrassedly: "Second sister-in-law, we came to you this time to ask you to borrow money. If you are convenient, you can lend me two taels." Money? All the money we saved was spent on the road before."

Chen Qingshi and Wang Laidi didn't have many private houses.

When the family was looking for Chen Erniu and the others in Xingyi Fucheng, they had to stay and eat, and the savings were exhausted within a few days.

Before returning home, if Chen Xiaozhi hadn't pawned a silver hairpin at a pawnshop in Xingyi Mansion, Chen Qingshi would have been ready to sell the mule cart.

Chen Xiaozhi still has some silver jewelry on hand, which was given by Chen Xiaoyu.

Wang Laidi wanted to keep it as a dowry for Chen Xiaozhi, but she didn't want to use it, so she decided to come to Jin Cuicui to borrow some money to go back to spend.

"Third brother and sister, here are ten taels of silver, you spend it first, and then ask me for it after you spend it." Jin Cuicui hurried into the back room and took two five taels of silver ingots, and put them in front of Wang Laidi.

"Second sister-in-law, two taels is enough, if there are too many...we won't be able to pay back anytime soon." Wang Laidi said shyly.

"Family, don't push around." Jin Cuicui picked up the silver ingot and stuffed it into Wang Laidi's hand.

Jin Cuicui knew that both Wang Laidi and his wife wanted face.

Therefore, Jin Cuicui didn't dare to ask them not to pay it back, because she was afraid that they would not want it.

"Then... Second sister-in-law, I will pay you back when I have money." Wang Laidi did not dare to continue to refuse.

From Pingjiang Fucheng back to Xinghua Village, there are still four or five days away!

Without money, what should I do along the way?
Moreover, the land of Chen Erniu's family is in the hands of Jia Yinzhu and his brothers, and it is not known whether they can get it back.

With money in hand, everything is more convenient.

"Second sister-in-law, I heard that the fan workshop opened by Zhizhou Yamen is recruiting people these days. I... I want to go to the fan workshop with Xiaozhi's mother to find a job. Second sister-in-law, can you vouch for us? Huh?" Chen Qingshi asked.

After entering the city, Chen Qingshi heard about the recruiting of fan workshops.

Fan workshops require a lot of manpower, and men are paid one hundred cash a day or five catties of sweet potatoes as compensation.Eighty Wen wages for a woman or four catties of sweet potatoes.

It's not that residents of Fucheng want to work in fan workshops, they need residents of the city to go to Zhizhou Yamen to write a guarantee letter.

Chen Qingshi thought, instead of arguing with Jia Yinzhu brothers about the field after returning to the village, it would be better to stay in Fucheng for a while and earn some money.

"Okay, you guys rest at home today, and I'll take you to Zhizhou Yamen to register tomorrow morning. The fan workshop is now under the management of Qingluan, the eighth-rank official! You two work hard, and you will definitely be able to enter." Jin Cuicui said with a smile on her face. Say.

"Qingluan is an official?" Chen Qingshi and his wife looked at each other.
