Divine Doctor and Farmer's Girl: Buy a husband to farm

Chapter 143 Situ's old affairs
Su Qing walked forward with a smile and said, "Madam Situ, what a coincidence, you are here too."

Mrs. Situ saw her with a smile on her face: "You are here too."

Su Qinghuan walked to the counter and found that all she looked at were cotton cloth and Gebu of various colors, and there was no silk yarn that rich families like nowadays.

She asked Xiao Er calmly, "Do you have banana cloth here?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Xiaoer's attitude was very good, with a smile all over his face, "We just had banana cloth in Jining Prefecture, and we only have it in our store. It's cool and affordable. Girl, what color do you want? "

Su Qinghuan pondered for a while, "Older people like crimson red, deep purple, and autumn fragrance more; stone blue, royal blue, young men wear spirits; girls like peach red, madder red, pink white, and pink blue, which are bright and bright." If you are married and wear everyday clothes, you like dignified colors. If you have a dark complexion, you might as well choose moon white or light gold...Little brother, my mother taught me this, do you think it makes sense?"

Xiaoer said repeatedly: "That makes sense, girl is very knowledgeable! Who do you choose, what color do you want, the little one will show it for you, buy more or less, it doesn't matter if you buy or not."

Su Qing laughed and said, "I'm getting a big ax in front of Lu Ban's door. You entertain Mrs. Situ first, and I'll see for myself."

"Okay." Xiaoer agreed, and gave her a grateful look.

He really wanted to introduce Mrs. Situ, but the god sitting behind her was speechless under his serious gaze.

Su Qinghuan's words were obviously referring to Mrs. Situ.

Sure enough, Mrs. Situ had an idea and asked for a piece of autumn-scented and half-stone-blue banana cloth.

Situ Qingzheng came forward, and said to Xiao Er, "One more pink-blue and one moon-white one, and send them to my house together."

Mrs. Situ thought for a while and said, "Can the five girls in the family be divided?"

She originally only wanted to buy it for her mother-in-law and husband, but she didn't expect it for her sister-in-laws, and she felt a little ashamed.

Situ Qing said expressionlessly, "I brought them some fabric when I came back from the capital. This is for you."

"I, I don't need..." Mrs. Situ waved her hands again and again, "I have clothes to wear."

"Then find someone to do it when we get back to the capital." He paused, "It's cheap here."

Mrs. Situ couldn't say anything against it immediately, and discussed with Xiaoer: "I bought so much, can you give me a cheaper price?"

"There is no need to bargain." Situ Qing said righteously.

Mrs. Situ's face turned even redder, and she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.

Situ Qingzheng's complexion suddenly turned black.

Su Qinghuan saw the way, and couldn't help meddling in other people's business and said, "Master Situ is admirable for his strict self-discipline when he returns to his hometown."

Situ Qing may not be ranked among the high-ranking officials in the capital, but when he returns to his hometown, all the officials will fawn on him.If it is cheap when buying something, I am afraid that someone will make a fuss about it and slander him.

Situ Qing just looked at her, did not speak, and pulled Mrs. Situ away with a very unnatural expression.

Bai Zhi couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "This Mrs. Situ is really stupid."

Bai Su gave her a hard look.

Su Qinghuan didn't say a word, picked out a few bolts of cloth, walked around the city again, and took the two of them back.

Because Situ Qing was going back to his hometown, everyone was talking about Situ's family wherever he went, so Su Qinghuan basically figured it out.

It turned out that Mrs. Situ was famine in the north. When the whole family went to Jining Mansion for begging, Situ bought ten catties of corn flour with her family, so she was nicknamed "Mian'er".

She is really a face person. She grew up in Situ's house, doing the heaviest work and eating the worst food, but she never complained.In order for Situ Qingzheng to study, she went to the quarry to carry stones. She has a small body, but she does the same heavy work as a man.

It was not until Situ Qingzheng was elected at the age of 16 that the family conditions improved a bit.

The 16-year-old Juren is sought after as a peerless genius.The status of the child bride-in-law is low, and her 16-year-old face is dark and thin. Standing behind Situ Qingzheng, who looks like Fu Fan He Lang, is really vulgar to be a maid.

The threshold of Situ's family was almost trampled down by matchmakers, and even the magistrate of Zhizhou wanted to betroth his youngest daughter to Situ Qingzheng.

The matchmaker of the Zhizhou family said that the Zhizhou family didn't mind the existence of the child bride, but they must marry her off in front of the matchmaker.

So, the matchmaker sat on the side, and Situ Qingzheng's mother, Mrs. Pei, said to her face: "You are not good enough for my son. Now he will be Zhizhou's son-in-law. In the future, with the help of Yue's family, he will rise to the top. I treat you like my own daughter. Give you a thick dowry and let you marry, okay?"

Mian'er knelt on the ground and begged: "Mother, don't drive me away. I know I'm not good enough for my brother, can you let me be his maid? I don't fight or grab, I just don't trust others to serve him."

From childhood to adulthood, he was her god.

Give him the best meal, and seeing him eat well, she is happier than eating it herself; he secretly gives her a piece of candy, which she hides from the beginning of the year until midsummer, and only licks it distressedly when the candy melts; , she sewed them stitch by stitch. When she sewed, she saw his appearance when he was studying in front of her eyes. It was so beautiful...

Without him, her world would collapse.

She also knew that there was a difference between them, even if she washed his clothes, she was afraid that her rough hands would ruin his clothes.

So she really didn't want to marry him, she just couldn't bear him.

While beating her with a feather duster, Mrs. Pei cursed her in the most vicious language, calling her shameless and ignorant of the heights of heaven and earth.

Mian'er didn't dare to hide, and cried and begged while the matchmaker was eating sunflower seeds beside him, spitting out the skin of the sunflower seeds all over the ground.

Just as Situ Qing came back from the outside, he snatched Pei's feather duster, picked up his face like a chicken, and said to Pei: "Mother, she made you angry, I'll teach her a lesson."

Pei said ruthlessly, "Kill this little bitch to death."

Mian'er cried desperately, she thought, let him beat her to death, she won't feel bad.

Situ Qing was just grabbing Mian'er and taking it to his room, when Mian'er was crying hysterically and begging for mercy intermittently.

It's not that Pei's face is completely emotionless, so he said: "Just hit it a few times, don't break it."

However, the matchmaker snorted, and Mrs. Pei didn't dare to make a sound.

But the movement in Situ Qingzheng's room was not small at all, and it took a long time before it subsided.

Mrs. Pei hurriedly called the only little maid in the family to take a look, but Situ Qingzheng came out of his room and locked the door directly.

He called his book boy, gave him some instructions, and gave him a dime, and the book boy ran out.

He strode to Pei's room, took out a white blood-stained handkerchief from his sleeve and put it on the table, his eyes were determined: "Mother, I'm consummating the marriage with noodles today."

The matchmaker jumped up against the case, Pei's eyes darkened, and he passed out.

As for why other people know these things about Situ's family, it's because of the bookboy and the dime.

Su Qinghuan felt refreshed after hearing this story. The male protagonist of the abstinence department and the gentle boy's bride-in-law, tsk tsk, can imagine a big drama.

So you are such a Master Situ!
"Jin Nu," she tilted her head and said, "Situ Qing is just like this, will he be criticized by others? Marriage is a big matter, and he disobeyed his mother..."

The son said: "No. His wife was originally a child bride, and she was already his wife in name, which is not considered disobedience; and when this matter spread, everyone praised him for being poor and humble, and not abandoning his wife. Even the magistrate The grown-ups should praise him and send generous gifts, but no one knows what he thinks inside."

Su Qinghuan laughed loudly: "Situ Qingzheng is this black-bellied and sullen man!"

No matter how difficult Mrs. Situ's life is, she will not suffer if she is surrounded by this man who truly loves her and plans for her.

Situ's house.

When Mrs. Pei heard that people from the cloth village had come to deliver the cloth, she waited anxiously, but the cloth was delivered to her son's yard, and she clearly said three and a half horses, but the daughter-in-law only brought one and a half horses.

"Tell me, where are the other two bolts of cloth!" Mrs. Pei asked Mrs. Situ to come over, and scolded her head and face, "You are getting more and more courageous, are you planning to give these things to your natal family! Don't forget, you Your surname is Situ, you are from the Situ family!"

Mrs. Situ knelt on the ground and lowered her head, not daring to make a sound.Xianggong told her that in front of her mother, she could just push everything on him, but she was reluctant.Even though she knew that it was impossible for Mrs. Pei to scold Situ Qingzheng, she didn't want to say anything bad about him.

Her natal family is thousands of miles away, how can she be greedy for things to support her natal family?
How old was she when she was sold to Situ's family, and how much affection did she have for her natal family?It was still Xianggong who found her family, arranged them properly, and invited people to give gifts every year and festival. Everything was arranged by him.

Xianggong is really kind to her.As Mrs. Situ thought about it, the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Mrs. Pei grabbed the teacup in her hand and threw it over.

The teacup fell in front of Mrs. Situ, it was torn apart, the tea splashed, wet her dress, and the tea leaves were stuck to her front and skirt.

With tears in her eyes, she lowered her head and dared not argue, nor did she dare to reach out to tidy herself up.

Mrs. Pei regretted throwing it out. Seeing that Mrs. Situ was not hit, she couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief - if she really hit her, her son would be unhappy when he came back.But when she thought of this, she became even more angry and scolded even more harshly.

"Why are you making your mother angry?" Situ Qing just got the news, and hurried over with a worried expression on his face.

When Mrs. Situ heard his voice, she felt like she had been redeemed, but she was still afraid of him, and murmured, "It's all my fault."

"When Bolin and Zhong Tong come back from the academy and see you like this, what face do you have as a mother!" Situ scolded, "You can't do anything well! Go back to your room and kneel down, pack up your things and go back tomorrow." Jing, don't be mad at your mother at home."

Mrs. Situ breathed a sigh of relief, kowtowed to Mrs. Pei before going out.

Mrs. Pei hurriedly said: "Son, didn't you agree to stay for a few more days? Why are you leaving now!"

She didn't bother to blame Mrs. Situ any more, instead she explained for her: "She has been stupid since she was a child, but she has no evil intentions. I won't be angry if I have been punished. You have been in Beijing for many years, I miss you!"

Situ Qing was looking at the furnishings in the house, all the mahogany furniture, and there was a maid who took care of Mrs. Pei behind him, and said indifferently: "My son is incompetent, so I can't take my mother to live in. We rent a house in Beijing, and the house is narrower than our previous home. The house I live in is not enough...it's cold in winter and hot in summer, I dare not let my mother suffer."

Mrs. Pei has been to the capital, so she knows he is not lying.

She really didn't want to experience the cramped and stuffy old house anymore, so she said embarrassingly, "You have been an official for so many years, isn't your salary enough to buy a big house?"

Situ Qingzheng said coldly: "The capital is expensive, it's not easy to live in; moreover, more than half of my son's salary is given to you..."

Pei Shi fell silent immediately.

Situ Qingzheng said again: "It's natural for a son to be filial to his mother; there is land at home, and I always send money back, so please be careful with your words and deeds, and don't accept other people's things. My son has been favored by the emperor, and he was named 'Qingzheng' two I am already ashamed and dare not take it, trembling, lest I be ashamed of the emperor's kindness. If the reputation is ruined, the son will be killed by head-on, and he will have no face to live in the world."

Pei Shi was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "No, no, mother knows, I will never accept other people's things."

Situ Qing paused for a moment, and said: "Bo Lin and Zhong Tong are eight and six years old, and they are both annoying, so I will bring them back to Beijing tomorrow, lest they make a noise to mother."

These two children are Mrs. Situ's eldest son and second son. They have been in Jining Mansion since they were born. Even if Situ and his wife went to Beijing later, they were kept by Mrs. Pei's side.

These words were like a bolt from the blue to Pei's ears, she cried and said: "Are you trying to poach my heart?"

The two grandsons wanted to be close to her, not their worthless mother.

Situ Qing was waiting for her to cry enough before saying: "The lintel of Situ's house is pointing at them to prop it up. There are no great Confucian scholars in Jining Mansion, staying here will delay them."

"We have a county king and an uncle in Jining Mansion, don't their children also have famous teachers to guide them?"

"But I don't want to make friends with them!" Situ Qingzheng said firmly, "If mother is really reluctant, I have a way..."

"Say it, say it!" Pei seemed to be grabbing at straws.

Situ Qing lowered his eyes: "My son resigned from office and returned to his hometown to educate them personally."

Mrs. Pei was frightened by his words: how can it work?The son lost his status as a Beijing official, who would look at her high and call her an old lady!
"Do I have to go? Only two years?" Mrs. Pei discussed with him.

Situ Qingzheng did not give an inch, which finally made Pei family back.

He couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief - he saw his face, facing his two sons, who wanted to get close so much but didn't know how to get close, and wept secretly for their alienation, so he secretly made a decision to take them to Beijing.

But he didn't say it beforehand, he wanted to surprise her.Fortunately, he did.

Back in his room, he was in a good mood, but when he saw Madam Situ kneeling on the ground, he couldn't help feeling angry.

He strode forward and pinched her shoulders to pull her up, angrily said: "Are you stupid!"

He excused her, but she didn't realize that she was really stupid enough to come back and kneel!

Mrs. Situ looked at him timidly: "I know you might want me to be lazy. But, but I dare not, I'm afraid I'll misunderstand you and make you angry if I don't kneel."
