Chapter 4 Who's fault

"What's wrong with Second Aunt?" Qingqing finished drinking the ginger soup and her body really felt a little warmer. However, seeing that Second Aunt was still lingering on even though she knew she had left the scene, which was very different from usual, she still raised her head and asked.

"Um...Qingqing, grandpa said he wanted to kiss you, so he asked me to lock you up." He said with a bitter face. After a long time, she finally said simply.She originally had such a nimble temperament that she couldn't play with these little chicken intestines.

"Promise? Grandpa has someone chosen?" Qingqing finally raised her head and frowned at He's beautiful face.

Qingqing thought about it, the old man came home every day, and she had to take care of herself in the morning and dusk. He worked as a jailer and worked with prisoners all his life, so he had a gloomy temperament. Even though she was her granddaughter, it was rare to see him smiling on weekdays. It's hard to guess what he was thinking.

"I just have this idea, and I haven't chosen a good person yet. However, since I have to choose someone, I should take it easy and learn something useful. You see, although I am not very good at cooking, I do pretty well in other things. Right? Why don't you learn household chores from me first, and then we can learn how to make pasta with my mother. Don't you all like to eat the pasta made by my mother? I believe you are so smart, you will definitely be able to learn it." He Shi said with confidence.

Qingqing tilted her head, a little embarrassed: "I don't have such confidence! Second Aunt, I need to write out the report to the Yamen tomorrow first. Since Grandpa hasn't thought about it yet, let's finish the case before we finish?"

"That's right, business matters are important, you are busy with your business." Mrs. He was sensible and told what the old man told her. She was heartbroken and went out happily, preparing to cook dumplings at the right time and deliver them to her son's master. go.

Qingqing didn't put down the cup, she just stared blankly at the cup in her hands, staring blankly at the empty front.

In the evening, Qiao Datong wandered into the small courtyard carrying a lotus leaf bag.

"Uncle, what did you buy today? Mrs. Tie gave Qingqing her hometown food today. She said that Qingqing likes to eat it, and my parents also sent dumplings!" Mr. He glared at Qiao Dayong, and the whole family was despised in every possible way. Doesn't she know how to cook?
"Oh, Cao's Roasted Pork, they all say it's delicious. Let her try it, maybe she likes it?" Qiao Dayong said directly, ignoring He's complaints.

"Qingqing is not that picky, she always eats whatever she is given. Anyway, she can't even take a few bites of that smelly thing that Mrs. Tie said she likes to eat." He turned to look at the backyard and whispered.

"Are you still saying you won't be picky? Alas!" Qiao Dayong sighed, "I'll go see her."

"Is the case difficult today? I think Qingqing's little hands are cold." He took the roast meat and couldn't help asking.

"No, the person has been caught! Qingqing came out of the scene and caught the murderer with just a finger. Tomorrow Master Tie will judge him." Qiao Dayong couldn't help laughing proudly.

"Uncle, Qingqing is a girl. The old man is very unhappy if you are like this." He stamped his feet again and looked around, "The old lady wants to introduce a grandnephew of her husband's family to Qingqing. I heard that he is a scholar and very honest. . The old man thought that in a few days, the child will go to Beijing to take the exam, and then let Qingqing take a look at it secretly. If he thinks it is okay, he can make a reservation. "

"And then?" Qiao Dayong looked at his sister-in-law coldly.

The old lady refers to Mr. Qiao’s sister and Qiao Dayong’s aunt.At that time, she married a chief bookkeeper in a small county under Kaifeng Prefecture.The master book is also an official, but the one who won the Juren didn't go any further, and then the family made some efforts to get a poor county to be the master book.The Qiao family had been in Kaifeng Mansion for many years, and the aunts of the previous generations had all married well, so they tied the knot here and there.

I don't know whether the old lady's life is better or the master's life is better. In fact, the two families were almost the same before.Not long after the old lady couldn't get married, the magistrate of the poor county found some excuse and was transferred away. And if the poor county was good, why would he run away before completing his term.For a while, the court couldn't find a suitable person to take over, so they directly brought that person up.The old aunt became an old lady step by step. Ten years ago, the old lady's husband died of illness while in office.The old lady carried the spirit back to Beijing alone, and settled down in her old house in Beijing.

However, the old lady lives in seclusion. In recent years, no matter how big or small the Qiao family has been, she has always been more polite than others.Even when Qiao Dayong's wife passed away and He got married, that person never came.So now that Mrs. He said that her aunt wanted to choose a son-in-law for Qingqing, it was strange that Qiao Dayong ignored her.

"What then? Isn't this a good family? They say that he is a real young master who cultivates and educates the family. The whole family is honest. The wife of that family passed away three years ago, and the family is anxious to marry a daughter-in-law who will be the head of the family. The family There are servants, so don’t worry that our Qingqing can’t do anything.” He said hurriedly.

"Our family can afford to hire a servant, but you didn't allow it. You made it look like you couldn't do it!" Qiao Dayong gave Mr. He a roll of his eyes. He didn't want to hear any more and entered the inner courtyard with his hands behind his back.

For a long time before Mr. He got married, there was no mistress in the Qiao family.At that time, Qingqing was only four or five years old, and there were three bachelors in the family with a four or five-year-old girl. What should she do?I could only invite a lady who worked on the stove to come over and take care of Xiao Qingqing while helping a family of three bachelors cook and wash clothes.

That lady's cooking skills are pretty good, and Qingqing's temperament and body were both good when she was a child.

Waiting for Mr. He to marry in, the first thing to do is to fire that person.Because for a commoner family like theirs, if they have a daughter-in-law who is the head of the household, and they invite a wife to the kitchen, that means they are marrying a lazy woman.

Qiao Dayong remembered that it seemed that it was then that Qingqing started not to like eating.

"Obviously you don't behave like a father, so you blame me..." He muttered in a low voice. The whole family blamed her for Qingqing's lack of food. She was really going to die unjustly. Can her own son be eaten? Fragrant and plump.

"Mom, I'm back." A plump little boy of three or four years old staggered in, "What are you talking about!"

"Your uncle thinks that your sister doesn't eat because my cooking is not delicious." He still loved his son and complained to him.

"I also think your cooking is not delicious." The little boy nodded.

"Obviously it was your uncle who took your sister to the scene to see the dead bodies. Why have you grown so fat?" He growled softly.

"Mom, I'm an apprentice in the mortuary! I think the food in the yamen is better than what you cook. The big meatloaf I had for lunch was delicious." The little fat man shrugged.

"You think everyone is like you, heartless and heartless." He patted him, "Has your master eaten the dumplings?"

　Okay, I will update normally starting today, but I didn’t save the manuscript!I haven’t written properly for half a year, and I feel like life is so tragic!
