Liu An Hua Ming You Yi Village

Chapter 101

When I arrived in Qingyang County, this was the first time I saw someone around me have a concubine's room, and I think I will see them again in the future.

After carefully inquiring that there was no movement over there, Du Yu said goodbye to Zhou Hui. Sure enough, there were no more quarrels in the east, and it became very quiet.

If this happens from time to time, it's really unbearable.

It is simply destroying people's ears.

It's better for the eldest brother and the second brother, usually one goes out with dad, and the other studies at the county government office. She and mother can only listen to the whole story through a wall.

Moreover, in the afternoon, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Zhao even came over to deliver her own cakes in person to express her apologies. This Mrs. Zhao is also very unlucky. When she was young, she accompanied her husband to study, and even posted her own dowry money. As a result, her husband read out his book and became a master of Juren, but he fell in love with a fresh and young girl.

It is said that this Mei family was given to Wang Xundao by a wealthy family after Wang Xundao was selected as a Juren. This Mei family was beautiful, and Wang Xundao took a fancy to it at a glance, and later became a concubine.

At that time, Aunt Wang's grandmother also had troubles, but after all, she was small and had no power, so when she married later, she had to find someone with powerful influence, and ended up marrying the Zhang family, a big family in Qingyang County.

The Zhang family is connected to a certain Lord Hou in the capital. With this alone, they can show off their might in Qingyang County.

However, another reason why Grandma Wang was able to marry into Zhang's family was that Grandma Wang's husband-in-law was very fat, not ordinary fat, that is really hard to describe!

It can be seen from this that this Grandma Wang is still out of the ordinary.

Originally, Du Yu and Zhou Hui made an appointment to go outing together on March [-]rd, but when they went to the backyard of the county government that day, Mrs. Qi invited Hu's mother and daughter to go to the Fahua Temple to enjoy the peach blossoms together on March [-]rd. .

Fahua Temple is a well-known temple in Qingyang County, dedicated to Manjusri Bodhisattva.In the middle of the mountain, many peach trees are planted in the temple. In spring, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and many people will go to watch them. By the way, they worship Buddha for peace.

Mrs. Qi is in charge of the county magistrate's backyard, and she doesn't get involved in what's going on ahead. In fact, it's the spring plowing season, and the county magistrate Qi is already busy with spring plowing. He sent people to visit village by village. There are things like arranging labor, etc., and I am really busy.

In comparison, Mrs. Qi has very few things to do this spring.So I also have time to play with the wife and children of my husband's colleagues, so as to connect and connect with each other.

So not only Du Yu and the others, the wife of the county magistrate, the wife of the county lieutenant, the master's family members, as well as the wives and children of the clerk, Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Hui, all went with them.

On Mrs. Wang's side, she asked for leave, so she won't go with her this time. She is really old, and she doesn't have a young daughter to take out, so why should she bring Mrs. Mei here?That's impossible, so I won't go there.

Of course, Mrs. Qi, the county magistrate, could not be the only woman. When Mrs. Qi married, she had no children for three years. She thought she would not be able to have children, so she disgraced her dowry maid and gave it to Mr. Qi.

In this way, Mrs. Qi didn't say anything, but after the girl opened her face, after more than a year, Mrs. Qi became pregnant and gave birth to her eldest son, Qi Pengju. Mrs. Qi came from a wealthy family. I have heard about concubines and the like since I was a child, and I don't think there is anything wrong with my husband having concubines. As long as I respect myself as a direct relative and don't dote on concubines, that's fine.

So her dowry maid was also born later, but it was a girl, the eldest daughter of County Magistrate Qi, known as Miss Qi, who was about the same age as Du Yu this year, but Zhou Hui didn't like her very much.

As for why, Zhou Hui asked Du Yu to experience it for herself, and she is not a person who likes to gossip.

Du Yu got to know her a few times, and she got to know her a little bit. Although this Miss Qi is a concubine, but because her own father is the county magistrate and the leader of Qingyang County, she looks down on others very much.

And Mrs. Qi has only two sons and no daughter, so Miss Qi feels that she is the number one lady of Qingyang County.

That look can defy everything!

Zhou Hui is not the kind of person to curry favor with others. Like her father, she has the aloofness of a scholar, so she doesn't like to curry favor with Miss Qi, and Miss Qi also dislikes Zhou Hui very much.

I can't be provoked, I can afford to hide, so on the way to Fahua Temple, Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Hu, Zhou Hui and Du Yu built a carriage. Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Hu's husband belong to the county school. , riding in a carriage also makes sense.

Mrs. Zhou never had a son, and she always felt ashamed of her husband, but Zhou Jiaoyu was determined not to take concubines, which was much better than some people.

Zhou Jiaoyu married off the first two daughters, leaving only Zhou Hui, who wanted to recruit a son-in-law.

However, from what Zhou Hui said, their Zhou family was thinking of adopting their son to her father, but it was nothing to think about, since there was no son, the offering of incense would become a problem in the future.

What about recruiting a son-in-law, how can the recruited be good?Didn't he come by looking at the money in Zhou Jiaoyu's hand?

These words made Zhou Hui very angry. She is already so old, and she also understands the matter of recruiting a son-in-law. If she said that it was for money, then the ones who asked for adoption were also for money?Moreover, the adoptive ones have relatives, and when the time comes, they will use their own money to honor other people's relatives, and then her parents will not be trampled to death?
She recruited a son-in-law, but she was in the house anyway, so could she be treating her parents badly?

Afraid that the recruited son-in-law will turn around and bully others?Hmph, she, Zhou Hui, is not a vegetarian either.

Because of this reason, Zhou Hui has a strong side in her temperament.It's fine if others don't mess with her, but if they mess with her, she will never make it easy for others.

As for Mrs. Zhou, in fact, she had another idea in her heart, that is, during this period of time, the people in the Du family are all good, and the Hu family has two sons, both of whom are smart, and the youngest son is the same as her own family. The youngest daughter is about the same age, and the two families are considered to be well-matched, so there is the meaning of getting married.

If you are a good person, you don't have to be a son-in-law, you just need to change the surname of Zhou for the second son you give birth to.

Mrs. Zhou also told Zhou Jiaoyu about this idea, but Zhou Jiaoyu waved his hand and said, "I have been in touch with Du Youzhong for a while, and he is capable. He is just a beginner in this county examination. But I think he is much better than Wang Xuehai! Such a person, how could he allow his grandson to have a different surname in the future? It’s not that he has no choice, and we don’t have much friendship with the Du family, so there’s no need to wrong them like this. "

Zhou Jiaoyu is still very accurate in judging people. For him, the aftermath is not important. As long as his daughter can live a good life in the future, when she dies, as they say, she has been reincarnated a long time ago. , who remembers who?

That's why I don't really approve of my youngest daughter's recruiting a son-in-law. If you have a good family, it's good to marry.

On the contrary, it will not be very good to recruit people.

"Mother, the carriage has stopped. It must be here!" Zhou Hui called out. Mrs. Zhou was thinking about it when the carriage stopped. It turned out that she had arrived at the foot of the Fahua Temple.

Because Fahua Temple is halfway up the mountain, it is inconvenient to take a horse-drawn carriage on the way up the mountain. However, someone at the bottom of the mountain specially made a slippery pole to lift people up the mountain. Each person has five copper coins at a time.Earn hard money.

Mrs. Hu asked Du Yu, "Do you want to sit on it?"

Du Yu shook his head and said, "You can still see my scenery when you walk up." You are so young and lively, why are you acting like a woman who is lifeless?This halfway up the mountain is nothing to worry about.

"Sister Zhou Hui, I want to go up, how about you?"

Zhou Hui also hurriedly said: "It's just right, I want to go too, and I can move my arms and legs. I'm stiff at home every day."

Du Yu and Zhou Hui went to climb the steps hand in hand, "Mother, you can sit on the sliding poles." Du Yu said to Mrs. Hu.

Mrs. Hu smiled and said, "How big is the mountain road, I can't walk it? No need! Mrs. Zhou, how about you?"

Mrs. Zhou also laughed and said, "I'll take a look around too, these old arms and legs are not good enough!"

Du Yu and Zhou Hui walked in front, and the two people beside them quickly passed by carrying a sliding pole. Du Yu saw Miss Qi being carried away with her head held high.

Zhou Hui smiled and said, "Did you see it? The whites of her eyes are about to turn out!"

Du Yu laughed after hearing it for a while, the whites of his eyes were about to come out, he was really defiant!

Several other girls also sat on the sliding pole, and Mrs. Qi smiled and said to everyone: "Please forgive me for being weak, let me be lazy."

Look, Mrs. Qi is only a human being. Even if she is sitting on a sliding pole, she speaks beautifully, unlike Miss Qi, whose eyes say, you bumpkins, you don't even want to sit on a sliding pole, you deserve it!
In addition to Du Yu and the others, there are also several people who also want to walk up the mountain, so everyone walks while talking, looking at the scenery along the way, the trees are shady, and the green wheat at the bottom of the mountain is already rising. , I don’t know how the wheat at home is doing!Now that there are long-term workers, it should be easy to fertilize and so on.

Years ago, their family also bought a cow. The main reason is that the cow works hard, and the family has more land, so it is more convenient to have a cow.

The Qi family has already prevented Du Youzhong from taking back the monthly Fengyin, because she has enough grain harvest at home.There are also several pavements for rent.She is saving it.

Du Youzhong now pays ten taels of silver every month, no more and no less. Du Yu thinks about the wheat in Yangliu Village, which is outside the mountain gate of Fahua Temple.
