Chapter 85 An urgent message from the patrons
The Chai and Zhang families responded: "Hey, thank you village chief."
The two families happily took the leftovers home and went home again. Had a hearty dinner.
That night, Qin Jiang and Xu Qiao's family still arranged for people to keep vigil. Fortunately, Mr. Gong and the others were on duty. Even though the news that the Xu family had received generous gifts had spread, no one dared to steal.
……
The next day, Xu Erjun and Qiao Lizi blushed and came together to thank Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin: "Thank you two elders for making our wedding so beautiful."
After saying this, they knelt down and wanted to give the elders kowtow.
Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin wanted to stop it, but Aunt Xu said to Aunt Qiao: "Let them kowtow... Your family gave them such a decent wedding banquet, they deserve to receive this gift."
etc. After they finished kowtowing, Aunt Xu and Aunt Qiao took out the gifts they received yesterday, pointed to the gifts Xu Sanjun and Qiao Songguo picked out, and said, "These are the things you received yesterday. They are all valued by the distinguished guests." Home We dare not take it all for ourselves, so we will let you make the final decision."
Xu Erjun was afraid that Grandpa Qin would not accept it, so he added: "Mr. Qin, logically speaking, the gift money should not be divided. But now everyone is still having a hard time, so I can’t let Uncle Dashi and Uncle Dayan suffer from poverty while my family is rich... Please take the initiative and divide the gift money equally so that everyone can benefit.”
Qin Liupo was almost too beautiful: "Er Jun is right, his fifth uncle, let's divide the gift money equally. My twelve taels of rewards have been divided equally among you, and the gift money from Er Jun's family should also be divided equally!"
Grandpa Qin thought for a while and said: "Okay, then we will divide the gift money equally, but we will not divide the things that can be stored, such as cloth, and leave them to Erjun and Lizi."
Xu Erjun and Qiao Lizi were very happy: "Yes, we listen to you."
However, they still took out the congratulatory gifts such as shortbread and caramel and shared them: "If you can't keep them, you have to share them quickly." "
Grandma Qin said: "Don't eat the candy yet. There are still three families in our village who are going to have weddings, so keep them as gifts. "
Qin Liupo: "Fifth sister-in-law is right, keep this candy."
Everyone happily distributed the things, and the gift money was a full one hundred and three taels.
Each of the nine families was given ten taels of silver, and the remaining thirteen taels were given to Xu Erjun and Qiao Lizi as the couple's private money.
......
Early the next morning, villagers from Zhoujia Village and Kaihe Village brought carts of hay to sell.
"Mr. Qin, we are here, come and collect the grass!" Old Village Chief Zhou shouted, his old demeanor was gone, and he looked as cheerful as if he had just married a daughter-in-law, which made Village Chief He very jealous.
"Come on, come on." Grandpa Qin responded and took several family members out to collect hay.
And because County Magistrate Kang personally visited the ghost village, those villages that were dissatisfied with the low price offered by the Qin family also solicited grass to sell, and the whole ghost village became lively again.
"Village Chief Qin, it's me, Xiao Shi from Shiliu Village. You came to have a wedding banquet the day before yesterday. Our Shiliu Village is also willing to sell hay to you...ten coins per pound, don't pay a high price!" Village Chief Shi He was only in his early thirties, but he had no stage fright at all. He held Grandpa Qin's hand familiarly and warmly, as if the two of them were old friends who had known each other all their lives.
The village head of Niutoupo Village was anxious and came over and shouted: "Hey, Brother Qin, I am the head of Niu Village next door. I have gone to town to take care of your business, so I am an acquaintance. .”
Is this an acquaintance? He is really more shameless than Old Man Zhou, Village Chief He cursed in his heart.
Old village chief Zhou looked at him and sneered: "If you keep stretching, you won't get any benefits."
Hearing this, village chief He gritted his teeth and put aside his face. , went to greet Grandpa Qin, but when he was anxious, he actually said: "Brother Qin , I am the village chief of Kaihe Village... I am the village chief of the group of thieves who came into your village from the back mountain to inquire about the situation some time ago, but were caught by the Xue family and sent to the Yamen."
There was a sudden suddenness all around. After a moment of silence, everyone looked at Village Chief He... When did you become crazy?
Xue Dongjia laughed loudly: "He Village Chief, you are so good at talking. For the sake of you being so good at talking, I will send someone to the Yamen today to redeem He Baiguan and the others! ”
The head of Hecun Village was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Thank you, Mr. Xue!" In order not to embarrass the head of Hecun Village, Grandpa Qin collected the hay from Kaihe Village first.
However, before purchasing hay, you need to sign a deed with each village.
He Village Chief agreed: "When we sold hay to Xue Quyantang's shops, we also signed deeds with them, so naturally we have to sign with the Qin family as well."
Jiang Dalang He took out the deed that had been written long ago and read it again. After Village Chief He and the others had no objections, they asked Chief He to sign and fingerprint it.
"The deal is done, collect the hay!" Grandpa Qin shouted, asking Qin Jie and Qin Ying to weigh the hay in Kaihe Village.
After everything was weighed, Qin Cunquan reported: "The dried madder roots from Kaihe Village are 800 kilograms, the dry malan is 1,000 kilograms, and the gardenias are 300 kilograms...a total of fourteen taels and five hundred kilograms." "
Grandpa Qin gave the silver: "Take it, Village Chief He."
Fourteen and a half taels of real gold and silver. Village Chief He was overjoyed: "Plus we will sell it to Xue. owner From their hay, the village earned more than fifty taels of silver, and each family earned more than one tael. In the next few months, they can dig up several more batches of weeds and sell them, at least for dozens of taels of silver... You, the Qin family, are really a blessing to the big guys!”
It is extremely difficult for a farmer’s family to make money, but the Qin family has given us such a way to make money. No wonder the county magistrate will come to support the Qin family in person.
Village Chief Zhou said: "So don't be jealous. You have to do well with the Qin family. If you don't know how to be grateful, the God of Wealth will have to take back the money you earned when he sees you."
Hecun He said angrily: "Old man Zhou, don't talk nonsense. When did I become jealous of the Qin family? I was jealous. You Dare you touch your conscience and say, haven’t you ever envied the Qin family? I’m afraid you’d be so envious that you’d have to get up in the middle of the night and mutter about it.”
Old village chief Zhou said: “How can the Qin family be so talented? Not envious? "
It was so magnanimous that Chief He was choked and couldn't find the words for a moment.
Xue Dongjia laughed out loud... The country people are really lively and interesting.
He watched the excitement for a while and saw that the Qin family was too busy, so he asked Manager Xue and Xue Feng to bring people to help: "Come here, we, the Xue family, will help you!"
A large group of people were very busy. It wasn't until dark that the hay collection was finished, and today it cost more than a hundred taels just to collect the hay.
Qin Liupo felt so painful that she wanted to die, and urged Qin Xiaomi: "Hurry up and sell the dye. If you don't start selling it, we will really have to sell ourselves to pay off the debt!"
Qin Xiaomi: "No hurry, Let's collect the hay first, and then repel all the new batch of thorns, and then we'll You can make money safely by making dyes.”
“What new thorns are coming to us? What can we do?” Qin Liupo was very scared and tired. : "Why do people come to harm us every day? When will it end?"
Qin Xiaomi: "Don't worry, all these troubles are coming to an end soon."
After hearing this, Qin Liupo looked her up and down, and then went to talk to Grandma Qin: "Fifth sister-in-law, do you feel that girl Xiaomi looks more and more like Are you a liar from our hometown?”
He just talks nonsense.
Qin Xiaomi only said: "If you don't believe it, then wait and see. In half a month at most, someone powerful will help us solve these troubles."
This is amazing. The character is King Wuxing... Counting the days, the news of King Wuxing's enthronement should arrive in Baofu County soon.
Unfortunately, before the news of the new emperor's enthronement arrived, the assassins from Fucheng arrived.
