The koi wife dressed as the male protagonist of the imperial examination

Chapter 75: Bamboo Door Versus Wooden Door

The rumors involving Fang Qingqing are naturally good from the perspective of the old Li family.

It is nothing more than what the old Li family used to say and deeply believed in:
Fang Qingqing has the luck of a prosperous husband, she is a lucky one, not to mention that Xi Li Sanlang's health will improve immediately after marrying into Li's family.

Moreover, the life of the old Li's family is still thriving, and it is more prosperous than before.

But when these things were placed on the heads of Lao Fang's family, it turned into another way of saying it.

It is said that Lao Fang's family was cruel and sold their daughter for eight taels of silver, but in the end they lost a big treasure.

Li Dalang, Li Erlang and his wife took their children to sell mainly tofu and pancakes in the county town. This is not very technical, and the people in the village have seen it a lot, so they all know it.

Because neither my parents have told me to keep it secret and not tell others, besides, some things will be hidden from outsiders and they will look at them more.

When someone asked, Li Dalang said it openly:
These food recipes were provided by the third daughter-in-law of their family, and she taught Mrs. Li to make them.

The people in Hongqiao Village were very surprised, so while lamenting the good fortune of Lao Li's family, they secretly scolded Lao Fang's family for picking sesame seeds and losing watermelon.

Otherwise, why didn't Fang Qingqing come up with the recipe for making tofu when she was at her mother's house, but figured it out after she got married?

There were also people who didn't believe it, and felt that Fang Qingqing was cruel, disregarding her natal family and only thinking about her in-laws and men.

Anyway, all kinds of rumors, good and bad, have been told many times in the village year after year.

It's just because Fang Qingqing usually stays in the courtyard of the old Li's house and rarely goes out, and the Li family doesn't need her to do such jobs as farming in the fields and washing clothes in the river.

Therefore, for the time being, no one has deliberately said these things to her ears.

The first time Fang Qingqing heard her mother's words, she still didn't understand, but she saw Liu's strange face, so she understood a little bit.

Regarding this point, in fact, she has already thought of the reason:
"Mother, it's not like you don't know, how can I know how to make food recipes?"

Hearing this, there was nothing wrong with it, so Liu also felt strange: "The people outside..."

Fang Qingqing looked around, put on a mysterious look, and hooked her fingers to let Aunt Fang come over.

First tell them that this is a secret, because the family only told them.

Afterwards, he repeatedly told his mother-in-law and sister-in-law not to spread the word——

This is a standard opening remark for telling a little secret. As for whether it will be known to outsiders, God knows!

The three of them were head to head, she said in a low voice:

"Mother, sister-in-law, you know, how do I know how to cook?
In fact, this recipe was found by Xianggong in an ancient book, but he is a scholar, so it should not be thought that he has an eye for money and is delving into food recipes to make money.

So my husband gave me this prescription and asked me to tell my parents-in-law. "

After a pause, Fang Qingqing continued: "My husband also said that if I take out this house, his parents will definitely like me more."

While talking, her face was flushed and she looked very shy.

Both Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Fang were secretly happy when they saw it. Doesn't this all mean that Xiucai Lang attaches great importance to their young sister?
Fang Qingqing also told them that during the holidays every year and year after year, the husband-in-law took time to teach her to read and write.

Now she can not only recognize her name, but also write it.

Uh, the writing is a bit ugly, Fang Qingqing thinks there is no need to tell mother and sister-in-law about this.

Knowing this, Mrs. Liu was even happier.

Even though she is just an illiterate country woman, she still knows the benefits of reading.

Didn't see that because Li Sanlang studied at a young age and passed the examination as a scholar, the status of their old Li family in the whole Hongqiao Village is different?

The Fang family is poor and the children are not smart enough, and none of the sons can go to school, and Yaomei certainly has no such fate.

But if she can follow Xiucai Lang to learn how to read, she will definitely be better than ordinary country women in the days to come.

For this, Liu became more and more happy with her son-in-law.

Mrs. Liu is also a sensible one, after listening to her daughter's words, she nodded repeatedly.

On the contrary, he advised her and said, "It's your uncle and uncle's ability to make money. Don't be jealous. On the contrary, if Saburo gets rich in the future, he can't forget his roots."

"Mother, don't worry, I know." After holding back, Fang Qingqing still didn't say something clearly.

Anyway, she made up her mind to come back after Xiucai Lang went out, and then she could discuss with her parents what she had to do by herself.

The soup and the fish had already been stewed. After thinking about it, Mrs. Liu took down the only cured chicken hanging on the beam of the house and asked the eldest daughter-in-law to cook it.

"Sister-in-law, I want to eat stewed chicken with mushrooms, it's delicious."

Seeing Mrs. Fang's bewildered expression, Fang Qingqing quacked and read out the recipe of chicken stewed with mushrooms.

Uh, although it is not tender, the taste of this cured chicken is still very good.

When the family was eating at noon, Fourth Fang's eyes widened when he looked at the stewed chicken.

Didn't the mother say that this chicken is going to be kept for his wife to eat after she comes in, so why is she eating it now?

Coupled with those other dishes, it is even more delicious than their family's New Year's Eve meal.

Fang Lao Si was suffering but he didn't say anything, as expected, even though she was married, she was still his parents' treasure!
Li Sanlang and Fang Qingqing left after lunch, Mrs. Liu wanted to pack a basket of Chinese cabbage and radishes for them to take back.

Even knowing that the old Li's family also had these things, Mrs. Liu still insisted on asking her daughter and son-in-law to carry these things back, which was also their wish.

After they left, Old Man Fang asked Boss Fang to open the oiled paper bag brought by his son-in-law, and only then did he see the contents clearly.

A large piece of meat weighed at least four catties, and the neatly wrapped candies and snacks made Liu's eyes hurt when he looked at it.

Immediately, she felt that this gift was too heavy, and she shouldn't have accepted it at that time.

My mother-in-law sent such a heavy gift, but I just returned cabbage and radish. Doesn't this make it difficult for Qingqing to be a man in her in-law's house in the future?

It's just that there is absolutely no reason to return the gift that has already been accepted, otherwise it would be a slap in the face to the son-in-law.

When he was in a dilemma, old man Fang said, "Put it away first. When the family's harvest is better this year, let the fourth son visit Yaomei and give them a generous gift."

No matter what, it is still not as good as the old Li's, old Fang Liu's heart is heavy.

Although it seems that the son-in-law seems to like his daughter to treat Qingqing very well, after all, the days to come will be long.

Once Li Sanlang gets better in the exam, the bamboo door will face the wooden door in the future. Can Qingqing still be so comfortable in Li's house?
