suspected wife

Yue Zhongyao came back, and his life became simpler again.

The wasteland still needs to be developed, and even if the peasant households put a lot of money in front of them, it is better to have the land in their hands to make people feel at ease.

Because Mrs. Wu wanted to help Yue Xiaoman prepare the dowry, and Yue Zhongyao brought her three taels of silver, she couldn't stare at Yue Zhongyao too much, and San'er, who was getting more and more tempered, lost his temper again.

Therefore, sometimes Yue Zhongyao would stay at Qiao Mingjin's house for a while in the evening to play with his daughter for a while, or watch her write a few big characters, and do abacus a few times before going home.

When he was a child, his family was poor, and his mother always thought that if the farmers knew how to farm the land, they would be successful, and being able to know those words was of no use, and they were not suitable for food or clothing.

Now he sees that his daughter can read, count, and make calculations, and he is very happy in his heart.

I feel that his daughter is many times better than the kid in Shanghe Village who is said to be able to read poetry at the age of two and write articles at the age of five.

Although Jinniang never asked him to stay at home, she did not refuse Wan'er to get close to him, which made him happy.

And Zhou Yanqing came to the workshop and had lunch at Qiao Mingjin's house, and Yue Zhongyao also knew about it.The two of them did not avoid people, and Yue Zhongyao had seen him several times.

Every time Zhou Yanqing asked him to write a divorce letter, Yue Zhongyao would stick his neck and say that if he could send a matchmaker to come to the door to formally propose marriage, he would definitely write a letter to release his wife.

Zhou Yanqing hadn't reported to his old mother yet and hadn't been approved, so he couldn't do anything about Yue Zhongyao's provocation.

On this day, Mrs. Zhou received a letter from Beijing, and specially called Zhou Yanqing to the main courtyard.

"Qing'er. Your uncle has a letter."

On a hot day, when the old lady saw this little son, she felt refreshed in her heart.

She is old, and the older she feels, the more lonely she feels, and the more she looks forward to her children being around her knees.

When she was young, not to mention the concubine's currying favor in front of her, even her biological children would always surround her all day long, acting like a baby in her arms, and they couldn't be pushed away.

she was then.You have to feed in the palm of your hand, you have to take care of the food and drink of the family, you have to deal with the women in the master's backyard, and you are also busy setting rules in front of the mother-in-law and the great mother-in-law. I always feel that the children are noisy and flustered.

And now the children are all grown up.She thought about her children talking with her every day to relieve her boredom.

Zhou Yanqing peeled a grape and handed it to the old lady's mouth, and asked with a smile: "What did the clan uncle say in the letter?"

The old lady stretched her head happily and leaned over, took the grapes into her mouth, chewed them twice and swallowed them down.

Then he said: "It is said that it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the palace is planning to do a big deal this year. Not to mention the ladies in the palace, it is everywhere in the palace. The nobles and officials in the capital all need to cut new clothes. A letter from your uncle Ask your elder brother and you to help prepare some fashionable materials. Our family’s fabric business can’t earn as much as others, but we can still get a share of the pie.”

Zhou Yanqing nodded.

Said: "The past two years have been good. The world is peaceful. This year, apart from Zhongqiu, the queen mother in the palace is also celebrating her birthday. It must be a big event. There is also the queen Qianqiu in winter. People in Beijing also like to spend We get married in autumn and winter, and although our family says we don’t want to offer cloth, we can still get a share of the pie by preparing more cloth and sending it to Beijing.”

The old lady looked at the promising young son with relief.Said: "Thanks to your elder brother and you in the family, otherwise the whole family would have to live on their laurels. In the north, your elder brother is taking care of you, and your clan uncle is helping. Although he is out alone, I don't worry about him as a mother. It's you, after all these years, you are in your twenties, and you haven't got a family and no children..."

"Mother, how can I force this."

Zhou Yanqing interrupted the old lady.

He also said: "This time, my son will definitely marry someone who is caring to my son and come back. We will have a bunch of children and let my mother take care of them, so that my mother can keep them by my side to amuse and amuse myself."

The old lady laughed after hearing this, and said: "That's good. Your clan uncle even asked about your marriage in the letter. The weather is not hot anymore, so you really don't want to tell your mother about the one you hid." Sweetheart?"

After hearing this, Zhou Yanqing looked up at the old lady, and asked cautiously: "Mother, what if the sweet person I have a crush on, mother, you don't like?"

The old lady was taken aback when she heard this.

Staring at him and blinking his eyes, he said: "What Qinger likes must be good, how can mother not like it. As long as Qinger thinks it is good, mother will also think it is good."

Zhou Yanqing's eyes brightened, and said, "Really?"

The old lady looked at him and nodded with a smile: "Of course it's true."

Seeing the joy on Zhou Yanqing's face, he asked again: "Maybe this time, tell mother who it is?"

Zhou Yanqing looked at the old lady's face, she seemed to be fine, and then slowly said: "That person is really a good girl, good-looking, literate, able to read account books, and the governor is very polite..."

The old lady laughed.

Said: "In a family like ours, the lady in charge, most of the maids around the mother can read and read the account books? Ordinary family, as long as they don't raise crooked ones, which one is not the governor Mingli?"

Zhou Yanqing was choked by the old lady's words.

Then he hurriedly said: "Although she was born in a small family, it looks like she came from a big family. I didn't praise her, the sister-in-laws in our family don't have the air of her. Besides, her family is not a merchant, her father and Her younger brother is still a scholar, and he also has a younger brother who is also very good at studying. Although the family does not have much wealth, it is a real farming and studying family. If her father is not in poor health, the family would not have had a good time in the early years. They are all available at your fingertips. Marrying into a family like ours is not a high prospect."

The old lady was very interested.

"Oh? Or a family of farming and studying? Both her father and his younger brother are scholars?"

Zhou Yanqing nodded repeatedly.

The old lady hummed, nodded and said: "If it is really such a family, the daughter raised will not be so bad. Although our family is taken care of by your uncle in Beijing, your father gave birth to six Son, your third elder brother is a man who can read, but he is still in vain. Fortunately, that child Wenxuan is a bit smarter than him. Although he is a little skinny, he is good at reading. Now I was picked up by your family uncle to study with his grandchildren in Beijing. If he is promising in the future, our family can also enter another level. If the girl you mentioned is promising in the future, both of her younger brothers will be , that will also help our family.”

Zhou Yanqing breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and suddenly felt a little lighter.

The old lady glanced at him, and then said: "What's the girl's name? Where does she live? You hide well, and you never tell my mother about her family. My mother has never seen anyone. The two families If you want to talk about kissing, you have to meet up and get to know each other, right? Maybe it’s just that you are too hot to shave your head.”

After hearing this, Yan Qing quickly shook her head: "No, she is willing too."

The old lady narrowed her eyes.Said: "You and others, um, privately agreed?"

Zhou Yanqing shook her head hastily when she heard this, and said: "What's the matter. Mother, don't think of your son as such a miserable person, besides, he also needs to be famous."

The old lady stared at him for a while and said, "Then how did you know what she wanted?"

Zhou Yanqing breathed a sigh of relief.Said: "Mother, this is not the first time for me to get married. This time, I will definitely find someone who is knowledgeable and caring. Of course, I have to test it out."

The old lady hummed, but didn't ask how he tried it.

Then he said: "Then you have to say which family it is. Who is the name, and where does it live? Maybe let your mother plan for you. Otherwise, when will you delay it? Didn't you say that you hope that the year Did you marry someone back before?"

Zhou Yanqing felt a little embarrassed.

He didn't want to let the old lady know Jinniang's identity so early.

He Caiyi Yuyi has not received the best results.Although his mother loved him, she loved him too much.The old lady has always been a very principled person.

He was thinking about taking a shortcut, and he had made some plans before.Later, because Jinniang didn't like it, he didn't plan to ask someone to recognize him as a relative and buy his identity.

Later, he thought about slowly making her mother fall in love with Jinniang, and slowly impressing the old lady's defenses.It's also easy to plan.

Jinniang is like the old wine that has been hidden underground for many years, and she can only savor it slowly.Only the better the product, the more fragrant and mellow.Only after being in contact with her for a long time can I slowly feel her beauty.

If you are not prepared at the beginning, I am afraid it will backfire.

"Don't tell me something's wrong?" The old lady frowned after seeing Zhou Yanqing's long silence, and suddenly asked.

Zhou Yanqing quickly regained her composure and said, "It's nothing. It's just that her family doesn't live in the city, but lives in the village below Songshanji. Mother, you don't think that she has no money and lives in the country, right? "

Seeing her son's cautious look, the old lady laughed.

Said: "Is your mother a person who dislikes the lack of money in other people's families? It is said that you raise your head to marry a daughter, and bow your head to marry a daughter-in-law. Our family is not short of money. How can we expect the daughter-in-law's family to be rich? It's not that I'm counting on the daughter-in-law's dowry to live .”

Zhou Yanqing breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I knew that you are not such a person, mother. Our sister-in-laws are all good at home, am I afraid that her dowry will be less and people will look down on you?"

The old lady nodded him twice with a smile, and said: "Who doesn't know that the sixth master of the Zhou family is rich, afraid that she will be looked down upon by a few sisters-in-law if she enters the house with less dowry, why don't you secretly stuff a few silver notes before marriage?" In the past?"

Zhou Yanqing rushed over and hugged the old lady's arm, and said, "I knew mother that you are enlightened. I must have burned high incense in my previous life to be reborn in mother's belly."

The old lady was overjoyed, laughed loudly, slapped him, and said: "It will be weird. What's the girl's last name?"

Zhou Yanqing was happy in her heart, and said casually: "My surname is Qiao, she is the eldest daughter in the family. Now her family is doing well, and she even bought a house in the city for his two younger brothers to study in the city academy. "

The old lady got the news she wanted and stopped pestering her.I only talk about interesting things at home with my son...

After Zhou Yanqing left, Mrs. Zhou leaned on the couch with a solemn expression.Fingers tapped back and forth on one thigh.

After a long time, I asked Mother Lin: "What's the name of the person who drives the sixth master?"

Mother Lin replied respectfully, "It's the second idiot."

"Call him over secretly."

"Yes."

After a while, the coachman named Erhanzi was secretly brought here by Lin's mother.

Erhanzi has been driving for the masters in the Zhou Mansion for several years.Because he has a lot of strength, is honest and honest, and doesn't like to learn the tongue with the servants, so the owners of the houses always like to ask him to drive the car when they go out.

Later, Zhou Yanqing fell in love with him, and when he was going out, he called him to drive the car every now and then, and gradually, he drove the car specially for Master Liu.

When Erhanzi was brought to the main courtyard by Lin's mother, his heart was pounding, his legs were shaking, and he didn't know what mistake he had made.

In this week's mansion, from time to time, slaves died of sudden illness, or were beaten, or kicked out to sell, there were many.

He doesn't want to stand out, he just wants to have food and drink and not be hungry.Therefore, I have been honest and honest, and I don't get close to others, and I don't want to say a few words.Why are you being targeted by the old lady now?

He didn't do anything wrong?

Erhanzi leaned on the ground, not daring to lift his head.

The old lady winked at Lin's mother, and Lin's mother hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and patted the dusty corner of his clothes for him.

"Don't be afraid, the old lady is afraid that Master Liu is not good at eating and drinking outside. If he learns badly, she called you here to ask where Master Liu has been on weekdays. But if you go with some bad people, some are not good. place?"

Erhanzi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he was alive again.

"Old lady, don't worry, Mr. Liu is fine. Every time he goes out, Shishi prepares food and drink for Mr. Liu, and there is an ice basin in the car, so he won't be hungry or thirsty. During this time, Mr. Liu Master is busy with business matters every day, and even goes out with friends to socialize and drink less."

The old lady sat in a chair and listened and nodded.

Xu Xu said: "I saw that the sixth master has lost a lot of weight and tanned a lot during this time. It can be seen that he has been busy with business and worked hard. I am an old lady in the inner house, and I can't help him. Worrying about in the backyard, I don’t know what business my son is doing outside, and I can’t help him.”

Er Hanzi's heart was completely relieved. The old lady really only called him to ask about Liu Ye. It's really pitiful for the parents of the world.

He hurriedly said: "Old lady, don't worry, Liu Ye knows it well. It's just that the place to go is a bit far away. Although there is an ice basin in the car, it melts halfway. It's hot today and the road is long, so it's not easy to lose weight." It's a little darker."

The old lady straightened up and said, "The ice basin has melted, so bring some more. There is no shortage at home."

"No, it's a long way to go. Besides, I didn't have it when I came back."

"Where did you all go, and suffer so much?"

Erhanzi felt that the old lady was a woman, and she still had to worry about her son at such an age, and was moved.

Like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube, he reported clearly the places Liu Ye usually went to, who he met, what he gave, what he ate, and what he said.

After it was over, I still felt hot to the two taels of silver that the old lady rewarded him.He just said something, and he got two taels of silver.

It's not easy for the old lady to care about Liu Ye so much and worry about his food and drink.

After Erhanzi left, Mother Lin took a cautious look at the old lady, and saw that the old lady was leaning on the couch with her eyes narrowed, and her fingers stopped tapping.

Swallowing his saliva, he asked, "Old lady, do you want me to ask Shitou?"

The old lady opened her eyes a little, and said slowly: "No need. You will call someone quietly tomorrow, and go to the academy alley to see the two brothers surnamed Qiao. Then find someone to go to Xiahe Village to find out their surname. Joe's family."

"yes".Mother Lin responded.

Glancing at the old lady, he thought for a while and said, "Don't think too much, old lady. I'll find out about the situation tomorrow..."

The old lady wrote with her hand hanging on one side.

"Okay, you will arrange someone to inquire about it tomorrow morning."

"Yes." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
