"Stay in another residence?"

Zisu looked at the third brother hesitantly.

The third brother nodded, and added: "I heard that brother Yanzhu is looking for a house!"

Zisu was speechless for a while.

Seeing her solemn expression, the third brother didn't say any more, and sat quietly on the side.

Leaning slightly, a woman's voice sounded outside the house, "Girl, Uncle Chai is here."

Zisu came back to her senses, and said to her third brother, "Brother Dashuan is here, you go and welcome him in."

The third brother got up and went out, and after a while, Chai Dashuan came in.

"Zisu." Chai Dashuan greeted Zisu.

Zisu stood up, "Brother Dashuan is here!"

While ordering Qingqing to serve tea, she greeted Chai Dashuan and took her seat.

After Qingqing served the tea and Chai Dashuan took a sip of the tea, he said to Zisu: "Zisu, this year is coming soon, how about your wine, many people are asking me."

"I'm still waiting for someone." Zisu put down the teacup in her hand, looked at Chai Dashuan, and said without hesitation, "I want to come, before Laba, he can arrive."

Chai Dashuan paused, nodded slightly and said, "Okay, as long as it can be shipped before the year."

Zisu smiled and asked about Boss Chai and his wife, and Jin Zhu, Qianliang, and Bailiang. Chai Dashuan answered them one by one, and finally looked at Zisu hesitantly.

"Brother Dashuan has something to say, don't hesitate to say it directly," Zisu smiled and hugged Chai Dashuan and said, "We are not outsiders."

Chai Dashuan nodded, and said softly: "Zisu, there are rumors outside that he is the young master of the Qiu family, that Qiu Yanzhu was not born of Mr. Qiu, and that Mr. Qiu was unjust because of his sex, and betrayed his parents for you. Eliminate the clan and drive them out."

The third brother frowned, and looked at Zisu with serious eyes.

Zisu smiled, and said softly: "Let them talk, the rumors will be fine after a few days."

Her indifferent and meaningless attitude made Chai Dashuan stunned, and even the third brother quietly raised his eyes to look at her several times!Seeing that there was no forced smile on Zisu's face, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.The next moment, he frowned again.

"Second Sister." The third brother called Zisu softly, and said hesitantly, "How about leaving this house for you to marry Brother Yanzhu, and my mother, fourth sister, and I move back to the original house?"

Zisu was stunned, leaned back a little and laughed with a "puchi" and said, "I'm afraid your big brother Yanzhu doesn't like this house!"

The third brother and Chai Dashuan became more and more speechless.

Although they had no way of knowing the details, if Qiu Yanzhu was really expelled from the clan, where would Qiu Yanzhu, a scholar, get the money to buy a house? !All he thought of was Qiu Yanzhu's refusal to move in because of face, and he was thinking of how to persuade him!But never thought that Qiu Yanzhu would look down on this house!

The third brother laughed, what kind of brother-in-law did his second sister find for him!

Chai Dashuan didn't think so, he thought, maybe Zisu helped Qiu Yanzhu find this excuse on purpose because of his face, and planned to leave here later, so he asked someone to invite Qiu Yanzhu to find a place to drink and have a chat .Find out how to solve your current dilemma!Not for Qiu Yanzhu, but for Zisu!

At the moment, everyone has different thoughts.

Seeing that both the third younger brother and Chai Dashuan had different expressions, Zisu thought, if Qiu Yanzhu's true identity is not revealed, the two of them might be thinking about something wild!

After pondering for a while, he opened his mouth and said, "Brother Dashuan is not an outsider, and I don't have to hide some things from you."

Chai Dashuan immediately turned his expression serious, and looked at Zisu.

Zisu took the teapot and refilled a cup of tea for the two of them, Fang said softly: "Qiu Yanzhu is indeed not from Master Qiu."

"Ah!" The third brother suddenly turned pale, looked at Zisu and said, "Then whose child is he?"

Zisu smiled, looked at the third younger brother and said, "He is from the Xiao family in the capital."

"The Xiao family in the capital?!" Chai Dashuan was taken aback for a moment, and then said in a hurry: "You mean the Xiao family in the capital that specializes in royal business?"

"Yes." Zisu nodded.

Chai Dashuan and the third younger brother glanced at each other, and the blankness on their faces changed to the original look.

Although the third brother didn't know it, Chai Dashuan knew it because he had been doing business all the year round. The Xiao family in the capital, which is incomparably wealthy, leaked a little bit through the fingers, and it was enough for an ordinary family to live and sleep for a lifetime.With such an identity, Qiu Yanzhu has an inexhaustible supply of gold and silver, so how can he fall in love with Zisu, a half-new and not old three-entry yard!

A gleam flashed in Chai Dashuan's eyes, he looked at Zisu and said, "Brother Yanzhu is planning to recognize his ancestor and return to his clan?"

Zisu shook her head.

"He doesn't plan to recognize his ancestor and return to his clan?" Chai Dashuan's expression seemed to be struck by lightning again!He asked in bewilderment, "Why?"

Zisu couldn't help thinking of Xiao Heyu, and Qiu Yanzhu's insistence on refusing to recognize and return to his ancestors must have a lot to do with some members of the Xiao family, but the secret between them was that even she and Qiu Yanzhu refused to tell.Come to think of it, it's really complicated.

"I don't know why." Zisu laughed and said, "However, everyone has their own standpoints and ideas. Maybe he thinks that the time is not up, or maybe he feels that he has gotten used to his current status. In short, there are many reasons yes."

Chai Dashuan nodded, indeed, everyone has their own difficulties of not being humane!

"He refused to recognize his ancestor and was driven away by the Qiu family. How can a poor scholar support his family in the future?" Chai Dashuan frowned and looked at Zisu and said, "Although you are capable, but..."

Zisu looked at Chai Dashuan gratefully. Although Chai Dashuan didn't understand what he said, she certainly understood what he meant.She is capable, but in this era where men are superior to women, no matter how capable she is, she is not enough for outsiders.Since ancient times, people have been crushed under the tongue, maybe she doesn't care about who pays and who gets between husband and wife, but what about Qiu Yanzhu?Over time, can he resist the maliciousness of the world?

"It doesn't matter." Zisu said with a chuckle: "Although he will not return to the Xiao family in the capital, his father left him an ancestral property. With this ancestral property, although there will be no days of great wealth and wealth, the most important thing is food and clothing. Not good."

Chai Dashuan looked at Zisu suspiciously, he spontaneously thought that this was Zisu's defense for Qiu Yanzhu.Maybe he wanted to use his mouth to spread the words, so as not to hurt the relationship between them!

At the moment, he nodded and said, "I understand."

Although Zisu could see that Chai Dashuan had lost her mind, she didn't intend to explain any more, because there must be something, the more she explained, the less clear she would be!

Chai Dashuan sat down again, then stood up and said goodbye.

Zisu asked the third brother to bring him another jug ​​of wine, "First, we will supply the old customers of the restaurant for free, and let them give their opinions."

Chai Dashuan picked it up, and said with a naive smile: "What they mentioned the most was when will this wine be available for purchase. But they are all waiting, and it will be used for dinner at home during the Chinese New Year!"

"Don't worry, there will be no delay." Zisu said to Chai Dashuan, and asked the third brother to send Chai Dashuan out in person.

After the third brother came back from the outside, Zisu called him, and said softly, "You try to send a message to your elder brother Yanzhu, and tell him that I want to see him."

"Hey."

The third brother agreed and went out to do errands.

On the other side, Zisu went back to the factory in the backyard, checking the work of the women.

"Girl, this cellar is almost full, and if there are a few more pots, there will be no place to put them!"

The one who spoke was appointed by Zisu to be the leader of these women, and he was called a bigfoot!This horse has big feet, a pair of feet are slightly bigger than a man's feet, he walks vigorously, and does things even more neatly, Zi Su likes her very much.Even though she bought a death contract, she was still paid [-] wen a month so that she could take care of her husband's children.

When this bigfooted horse started doing things, he became more and more attentive.She can remember some things that others tend to overlook, not only that, but also saves firewood and grain.

Zisu smiled and said to Ma Dazu: "Don't worry, this cellar will be empty soon."

"Hey!" Ma Dajiao nodded and said, "As long as the girl has the count, I just watched the big money go out, but I didn't see the money coming in, so I was worried for the girl."

Zisu smiled and said, "Ma'am, you have a heart."

Ma Dazu laughed a few times, then turned around to do other work.

Zisu checked carefully and told the women on the stove a few words, then went out.

Right now, outsiders are not allowed to enter the backyard easily, and Zisu sent her mother-in-law to inspect the second gate, so if someone wants to take the opportunity to get in, I'm afraid it will not be an easy matter!

"The girl is gone!"

The gatekeeper lady stepped forward to salute Zisu graciously.

Zi Su nodded, "Look, even a mouse is not allowed in."

The mother-in-law should be yes again and again.

Zisu inspected it, and was about to lift her feet to leave, but saw Qingqing running towards this side, panting.After running to the front, he let out a rough breath and said, "Miss...Miss, there is a Mr. Mei asking to see you."

"Mr. Mei is here?" Zisu's face was filled with surprise, and she urged Qingqing again and again: "Hurry up, go to Mingyao and tell her that there is a distinguished guest at home, so let her cook a few more dishes at night."

Qingqing was about to leave, but Zisu yelled again: "Go to Mrs. Ma's later, and ask her for a jar of wine."

"Yes, girl."

After giving all these orders, Zi Su hurriedly walked to the front hall.

It turned out that Mei Shengyu would not be able to come back until the end of the year. No, it was so many days earlier.It seems that the jar of wine is really charming!

In the front hall, Mei Shengyu was holding an exquisite sweet white porcelain teacup for tea, when he raised his eyes, he saw a slim figure walking towards the main hall, he couldn't help squinting his eyes, and looked carefully.

I haven't seen her for half a year, I don't want to, but in the blink of an eye, Zisu has grown a bit taller, and with the increase in stature, the charming beauty of a young girl is more and more revealed.With every step and every movement, her figure is as soft as water, the sun shines on Zisu's face, her eyes are more pure than autumn water, and she can see into people's hearts.

"Miss Tao!" Mei Shengyu stood up, walked out first, and clasped his fists at Zisu from a distance, "It's been a while, how is Miss?"

Zisu smiled lightly at Yu Yingying, the plum saint, and said, "Mr. Lao misses you, Zisu is well."

Mei Shengyu laughed and said, "The girl is becoming more and more stable."

"Where?" Zisu asked politely.

After being able to enter the room, Zisu looked at Mei Shengyu and said, "I figured that the husband will arrive before the twelfth lunar month at the earliest. I don't think that the husband has moved so many days earlier. The journey was hard, right?"

Mei Shengyu patted his knees stretched like rocks and said: "To tell you the truth, after paying for the wine sent by the lady, I traveled day and night, rushing back non-stop, for fear of missing the lady's business." .Right now, these two feet are heavier than stones."

Zisu smiled back, and said, "I'll let my younger sister cook in person, and clean up the dust for my husband at night."

Mei Shengyu quickly waved his hands and said with a smile: "If Miss Tao really has the heart, how about you cook for yourself? Since the girl left, I miss the girl's good cooking every day."

"Don't worry, sir, the younger sister in the family is better than blue, and she will definitely not disappoint sir."

Mei Shengyu laughed loudly and said, "Since you said that, then I will definitely repay it."

Zisu smiled, and was about to speak, but when she looked up she saw Qingqing who was flickering outside the door, so she raised her voice slightly, called Qingqing in, and said, "What's the matter?"

Qingqing first bowed her knees and gave a blessing, greeted Zisu, and then blessed Mei Shengyu, and then said: "Miss Mingyao said that she understands, let the maidservant ask the girl when the dinner is set."

Zisu thought for a while, and said to Mei Shengyu: "Why don't I assign the guest room first and let the husband go down to wash and rest, and then send someone to call the husband to eat later?"

Mei Shengyu originally wanted to discuss with Zisu about selling wine as soon as possible, but he was indeed tired from the long journey.Thinking again, since we have met now, there are some things that are not in a hurry.

Immediately nodded and said: "Everything is according to the girl's wishes."

Zisu smiled and said to Qingqing: "You take your husband to the guest room, and call a woman to wait on you."

"Yes, girl."

Qingqing turned to the side, raised her head and said to Mei Shengyu: "Sir, please come with your servant."

Mei Shengyu cupped his fists and bid farewell to Zisu, and followed Qingqing down.

This side Mei Shengyu just retreated, but the third younger brother led Qiu Yanzhu and hurried over to the other side.

"Second Sister, Brother Yanzhu is here."

Zisu, who was about to go to the kitchen to stare, stopped involuntarily, looked up at the door, and met Qiu Yanzhu's smiling eyes as soon as she raised her head.After sizing it up calmly, seeing that Qiu Yanzhu's expression was not as bad as she imagined, she was relieved, and then smiled and said, "You just happened to come, Mr. Mei is here."

Qiu Yanzhu raised her brows slightly, and said with a smile as she strode inside: "Then he came just in time. I was just worried about getting money, so he, the God of Wealth, came!"

Zisu saw that he spoke in a very calm manner, so she guessed something about the Qiu family's affairs, and she was afraid that he did it on purpose.Thinking of the way he was about to say goodbye a few days ago but stopped saying goodbye, his heart became more and more clear.

"Third brother, go and ask Qingqing to build a pot of good tea."

The third brother agreed, and said to Qiu Yanzhu: "Brother Yanzhu, please sit down for a while, I will come as soon as I go."

"Go."

After the third brother left, Zisu looked at the empty yard, then suppressed the smile on her face, looked at Qiu Yanzhu with serious eyes, and said, "Have you heard the rumors outside?"

Qiu Yanzhu saw that Zisu suppressed her smile, so she also suppressed her smile.As soon as Zisu finished speaking, he nodded solemnly.Although he still looks gentle and refined, there is a faint gloomy color between his brows.

Zisu sighed, and said softly, "Why is this so?"

"I said before, that kind of thing won't happen again." Qiu Yanzhu looked up at Zisu, took a deep breath and said, "Although I can't give you the best in this world, I must protect your dignity."

Zisu looked at Qiu Yanzhu with a proud expression, and sighed again.

This is an era where filial piety is extremely important. For her sake, he did not hesitate to break up with his uncle's family who had raised him for many years. How much pressure would he have to bear?Just thinking about it made her gasp.

"They may not be able to hurt me." Zisu lowered her eyebrows and said softly, "In this way, you may have no hope of official career in the future."

Qiu Yanzhu twitched the corners of her lips and said, "I never thought about becoming an official."

Zisu couldn't help but looked at him in astonishment.

Qiu Yanzhu saw that Zisu's dark eyes were full of astonishment, so she couldn't help but smiled and said, "Don't be surprised, I have never had any intention of official career. I went to participate in the scientific examination back then because of my uncle's love." Therefore."

Zisu thought for a while and then understood.

Come to think of it, Mr. Qiu must have understood the attitude of the Qiu family and others towards Qiu Yanzhu, so he wanted to make him an official. That official status is Qiu Yanzhu's best protective clothing!In this way, I have more and more respect for Master Qiu.

At the moment, he said slightly: "You are like this, isn't Mr. Qiu very sad?"

There was an unnatural smile on Qiu Yanzhu's face, but soon he raised his eyes, and said with shining eyes: "He is my uncle, and it is only natural for a nephew to respect his uncle."

Zisu was stunned for a moment, then she understood after a little leaning, she couldn't help but smiled and said, "You're right."

Seeing Zisu's eyebrows where the word "Chuan" when he first met gradually dissipated, Qiu Yanzhu heaved a long sigh of relief.When the third brother asked someone to pass on the message, he guessed that the rumors outside might have reached Zisu's ears, and he believed that Zisu would not hate him because of it.But if Zisu feels guilty about this, that's not what he wants.

"If you have nothing else to do, let someone take me to see Uncle Mei." Qiu Yanzhu looked at Zisu with a light smile and said, "I have taken a fancy to a house and originally planned to write to him. Now, since he Coming here will save a lot of trouble."

Zisu laughed "puchi" and said, "Are you planning to borrow money from him?"

"No." Qiu Yanzhu shook her head.

"No?" Zisu said hesitantly, "That's..."

"I'm planning to ask him for money." Qiu Yanzhu's brows flashed, and he looked at Zisu and said, "I'll sell that house in Yizhou to him."

"Sold?" Zisu looked at Qiu Yanzhu disapprovingly, "Why sell it so well?"

But the next moment, he remembered Qiu Yanzhu's words before, and hurriedly said: "What kind of house are you looking at, and you want such a large sum of money?"

"It's a small courtyard at the foot of Yucui Mountain." Qiu Yanzhu looked at Zisu and said, "Although it's a bit small, it's better because of the beautiful scenery."

Jade Mountain? !

Zisu thought for a while, then remembered that Chrysanthemum's house seemed to be there too.

It is indeed a good place, but it has completely become a wealthy area, and the people who live there are either officials or wealthy businessmen.The yards of the second and third entrances have already called for three or 4000 taels of silver.

"Don't touch the things that have been passed down from the ancestors." Zisu tried to say to Qiu Yanzhu: "Letting it to Mr. Mei over there will earn less than half of the income for a year. If you are short of money, why don't I move some here first?" How about going out?" Afraid that Qiu Yanzhu would object, he said again: "Of course, you always have to pay me back."

Qiu Yanzhu glanced at the cautious Zisu, and a warm current arose in her heart.

"I've thought about it, the house in Yizhou costs a lot of money just to repair it every year." After a pause, the corners of his lips curled up and he said, "Uncle Mei must be dying of heartache, not to mention renting the house. You have to fix it yourself. In this way, if you don’t sell it to Uncle Mei, you won’t have to take advantage of him.”

Zisu couldn't deny that Qiu Yanzhu was right.

After pondering for a while, he said: "You make up your mind, no matter what you decide, I will always follow your idea."

Qiu Yanzhu nodded.

Zi Su remembered that this trip to Mei Shengyu would have to pay 10% of the next year's wine sales, so she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What's wrong?" Qiu Yanzhu looked at Zisu in confusion.

Zi Su suppressed a smile and shook her head, "It's nothing, I just thought, Mr. Mei might even pawn his pants this time!"

"Uh!"

Zisu then talked about her plan to let Mei Shengyu be the general agent of Dahua, and finally said: "If he is small-hearted, he doesn't need to pay much money, but if he is big-hearted, he may not even pay for it." Pawns are not enough!"

Hearing this, Qiu Yanzhu couldn't help raising her hand and scratching her head, "Then, do I feel like I'm taking advantage of the fire?"

Zisu couldn't help laughing after hearing the words, but no matter what she couldn't help it.

The next moment, her clear and silvery laughter sounded in the front hall.Qiu Yanzhu saw how happy she was smiling, and couldn't help laughing too.

But suddenly he remembered another thing, his laughter froze, and he looked at Zisu in embarrassment.

"what happened?"

"There is one thing, you have to be mentally prepared."

"Ok?"

Qiu Yanzhu sighed, and said softly: "My aunt, you probably understand."

Zisu nodded, "Although I haven't met, but as you said, I already know what kind of person I am."

Qiu Yanzhu took a breath, and looked at Zisu with slightly painful eyes, "In the past, she didn't know. But now, I'm afraid she already knows about you..."

Zisu didn't interrupt, but looked at Qiu Yanzhu quietly, waiting for him to continue.

"Maybe she won't embarrass you on the surface, but in the dark, I'm afraid it will make things worse!" Qiu Yanzhu sighed, "I'm even more worried that she will propose to live with us at that time."

Zisu couldn't help but turn pale and said: "You are just a nephew, besides, she also has a son, so why not live with her son, and live with her nephew?"

Qiu Yanzhu smiled wryly, "If she was reasonable, I wouldn't be so worried."

After thinking about it for a while, Zisu came up with an idea, and said calmly, "Don't worry, I'll take care of her. There are several people on the left and right to eat."

Qiu Yanzhu nodded, "Things may not be that bad, but I have to remind you to prepare for the worst."

"I understand."

Zisu didn't want to make Qiu Yanzhu worry about these things anymore, so she suggested: "I'm going to the wine cellar to reconcile the account, you can go together, presumably, there is something wrong there, and Mr. Mei should rest well."

"Okay." Qiu Yanzhu got up and stayed beside Zisu, and said softly, "You don't have to do everything yourself, let others do some things, otherwise you will be very tired."

"I know, but I'm just getting started now, so I can only get tired."

The two walked towards the backyard while talking. From a distance, they looked like an old couple who had been in perfect harmony for a long time!
