Chapter 335 Returning to the Village [3]
This was a good statement. Shopkeeper Zou was very impressed and asked again: "How is Qin Er?"
Manager Lu said: "The people below sent it here The news said that it was He is a shameless scoundrel who picks up leftovers from guests in the kitchen of Xue Family Inn every day. He is not ashamed and thinks that he has made a profit."
"Oh, he is indeed a waste that is worse than a beggar. "Shopkeeper Zou scorned He was very satisfied with the answer, and praised the person who set up the trap to harm Uncle Qin: "The method is really amazing."
He raised his eyes again, glanced at Manager Lu, and taught him like a teacher: "Look , these are the hands of the masters Duan, with a little trick, he tortured the Qilin son who was only born in the peasant family for several generations and turned him into a beggar. He will be like this for the rest of his life. Not to mention getting fame, he will not even be able to give birth to a child, and he is afraid that he will have no future. "
Manager Lu was taken aback for a moment, then acted as if he had suddenly realized something, and then praised: "The shopkeeper's great talent can actually match the skills of the heads of the aristocratic families. I admire you a lot."
Shopkeeper Zou smiled lightly and said: "You Also a good one , the masters are all watching, use more snacks to do errands, and in a few years, my position will be yours.”
Manager Lu’s face was filled with surprise, and he looked frightened again, and expressed his gratitude and loyalty again.
The two of them acted this fake show very well, but in the Wuze Medicine Store on the same street, Shopkeeper Wu, Manager Fan, and Doctor You looked at the Qin family with reluctance.
"Brother Qin, when will you come to Fucheng again?" Shopkeeper Wu asked.
Grandpa Qin said: "I'm old and can't run much anymore. If nothing else, the old man won't come to Fucheng until spring plowing, but Dalang and the others will come to Fucheng every month. If you have any urgent matter, come to us. , you can go to No. 6 Qiming Street to deliver the letter.”
Shopkeeper Wu wrote it down carefully and promised: "Brother Qin, don't worry, we will help take care of your property in Fucheng. If anything happens, we will send someone to report to you immediately."
After saying this, shopkeeper Wu’s face showed a look of shame again. , hesitated for a moment, and said: "Brother Qin, Qin Xiaodong's family, Wu Boqian, and the others will go to Tianmang Mansion Pass to serve as corvees in the next year. I want to spend money to exonerate Wu Boqian and his son and send them back to their hometown... I'm not soft-hearted, it's just that I brought them out after all. I sent them back to my hometown to settle my family debt with them."
It was the Qin family who helped their medicine store uncover the drug thief, and it was also the Qin family who helped the medicine store restore its reputation, so he said. We must first ask the Qin family what they want, and we must not let good people feel cold.
Qin Xiaomi smiled and said: "This is a matter between Wuze Medicine Store and Shopkeeper Wu. Shopkeeper Wu can make his own decision without asking us."
Shopkeeper Wu felt less guilty when he saw that the Qin family agreed. He knew that Grandpa Qin was thinking about the horses and took him to see the horses.
The mare’s sick hoof is doing well and shows no signs of deterioration.
Grandpa Qin was very happy and returned to the inn with peace of mind.
When they waited at the inn, Jiang Dalang also came back from the Fujun camp. After seeing Qin Xiaomi, his eyes filled with joy and shouted: "Xiaomi."
Qin Xiaomi responded, Asked him: "Come back, Gao Baihu didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
Jiang Dalang repeatedly refused Gao Baihu to join the army. She was afraid that Gao Baihu would be angry if she refused too many times.
Is Susu concerned about him?
Jiang Dalang felt hot in his heart, shook his head and said with a smile: "No, Gao Baihu is very easy to talk to, and he is also very satisfied with the New Year's gift. He just asked me to help carry things to Yang Xianwei."
Qin Xiaomi felt relieved and returned to the right wing.
Aunt Qin and Qin Eryong’s wife are collecting the return gifts from various families.
Second Aunt Qin praised the Mo family: "The Mo family's return gift is the richest among all the families in Qiming Street. They gave two pieces of one-foot large embroidered cloth. These two pieces of embroidered cloth alone cost more than 500 yuan." , let’s get back our money.”
“Let’s take a look.” Qin Xiaomi took the embroidered cloth and looked at it twice. After seeing the earthworm-like Dongmo Wen, she said with relief: "Second uncle and second aunt can keep it to make clothes."
Second aunt Qin was overjoyed: "Hey, she is indeed my niece, what good things can I do? I’m all thinking about your second uncle and second aunt, so your second aunt won’t be polite.”
When have you and your wife ever been polite?
Not long after, Yan Da and the others, on the order of Tang Changan, sent two semi-old cars, and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper said, these are for your horses, and your car is for ten Five taels of silver is all it takes. Please don’t refuse, saying that it is cheaper to buy a car from a carriage shop. "Grandpa Qin was very happy. He accepted these two cars with thick hoods and gave Yan Da thirty taels of silver." Tell Shopkeeper Tang, thank you very much.”
Yan Da solemnly accepted the banknote: "Don't worry, Mr. Qin, we will bring the banknote and the message!"
Grandpa Qin nodded with a smile.
Second Uncle Qin greeted them again: "Brother Yan, let's go to the big kitchen to get meat and vegetables. Today we have a big guest who ordered a roast pig. He didn't finish it. There are several kilograms left. It's too much. He has done something wrong, we have to help him settle this debt!"
Righteous and awe-inspiring, he didn't feel embarrassed at all about picking up other people's leftovers, and even Quda who came to play with Jiang Dalang was dumbfounded.
Yan Da and the others did not dislike it at all, and said happily: "Hey, here we come."
However, they felt a little regretful and quietly put a bunch of copper coins on the counter when they left.
Quda thought that the Qin family was frugal and unwilling to eat meat, so he paid for shopkeeper Xue Liu to buy two tables so that the Qin family could eat enough.
Second Uncle Qin was very happy. Seeing that he was too arrogant, he began to lie: "Ada, good boy, my family will leave for the village the day after tomorrow. But when traveling in the cold winter, not only do you have to eat and sleep in the open, but you also have to worry about it. Frozen..."
At the end of the sentence, he shed tears.
Quda was shocked and said hurriedly: "Second Uncle Qin, don't worry. My family has houses in the counties and towns along the way from Fucheng to Baofu County. You can knock on the door with my handwritten letter, so you don't have to worry about settling down every day." Son."
He immediately wrote a handwritten letter, stamped it with his personal seal, and handed it to Second Uncle Qin.
Unsatisfied, Uncle Qin wiped his tears and continued: "Ada, good boy, Uncle Qin doesn't have to worry about living in the wilderness this time. But as the saying goes, things in the world are unpredictable. In case of a heavy snowstorm, We can't get to your other courtyard, and we don't have good materials to keep out the cold. We're afraid we'll be trapped in the snow."
Quda thought for a while and said. : "I have a lot of cold-warming supplies at home, as well as dried meat and oily sugar cakes to satisfy your hunger. I will bring them to you tomorrow. In this way, even if you are trapped on the road by a snowstorm, you can rely on these things to save yourself. "
Huang Yanglong, Xiaobai, and Jia Xiang looked at him sympathetically... Silly boy, will your father hang you up and beat you if you do this?
Grandpa Qin couldn't stand it: "Brother Da, you don't need to bring anything to my house. Your uncle Qin is just lying to you."
But the next day, Quda still brought two carts of things and took I hired a few master craftsmen to help the Qin family inspect and reinforce the vehicles, and also made anti-skid wheels, so that everything was sorted for the Qin family's return trip.
Second Uncle Qin was able to lie down in the house and hide and relax, without having to do anything. Grandpa Qin kicked his feet and cursed: "You know how to trick good people into doing work for you."
Second Uncle Qin became a pig because of his laziness. He stood motionless and said, "Dad, giving work to people who love to work is called fulfillment."
"A bunch of nonsense!" Grandpa Qin was furious, but looking at his thin body, he thought He didn't care about the cold outside.
In the afternoon, Grandpa Qin and Jiang Dalang accompanied Qin Xiaomi to Qiming Street.
After Qin Xiaomi checked the offensive and defensive layout of several hidden cells, he told Zhu Liushi and his wife: "I patrol the house three times a day to ensure that no one will stuff anything into the house that shouldn't be there; for the Mo family , be vigilant and don’t get too close ; Keep an eye on the Lin family and Wu Xingzong on Huaian Street in the west of Diancheng. Once any rumors involving the Qin family are spread, report them to the official immediately and don’t be soft..."
The couple did this for Zhu Xuemou and Zhu Xuewei. The two sons will be very loyal to her family. So she left the couple to look after the house and brought brother Zhu Xuewei back to the village.
Qin Xiaomi gave them another banknote, a bag of broken silver, and several packets of antidote to resist intoxication: "The silver is for emergency use; when you enter the house for inspection every day, remember to put it into your nose." Apply the medicine.”
“Yes, slaves,” the Zhu family responded respectfully.
Qin Xiaomi and the others did not stay any longer and left in a car. This time they did not meet the Mo family.
......
The next day, on the tenth day of December, when it was still dark, the three families of Qin, Huang, and Jia got up. After tidying up, they began to gather their servants and called their names to prepare to leave the city. Return to the village.
