In the luggage, Zheng Qingchuan brought a lot of medicinal herbs.In particular, Imperial Physician Yao and Imperial Physician Li gave her a lot of prepared pills, ointments and powders.Next, it is necessary to determine who will accompany you this time.Zheng Qingchuan first adopted the principle of voluntariness, and then screened.As a result, nearly 9 out of 10 people were willing to follow.Zheng Qingchuan asked Su Mu's opinion again, and Su Mu said: "Bring more male servants and leave the old and frail people to watch the house." ”Zheng Qingchuan said: "We have to go to the house for at least three years to be empty like this, it's a waste" Su Mu was not distressed, and said lightly: "Let's be empty like this first, and we'll talk about it later." ”Zheng Qingchuan wrinkled his nose and thought: "The style of the local tyrant" is different, but what she didn't expect was that the fourth lady of the Zheng family would come to the door in person for the matter of this house, and the fourth lady of the Zheng family came by surprise, and after sitting down, she went straight to the point, and said: "Niece, have you rented out this house" Zheng Qingchuan was suspicious of her intentions, and replied distantly: "No."
Your own home, why rent it out" The fourth lady of the Zheng family said to herself: "Your house is quite big, and you have two cross-courtyards, I think it's very convenient Anyway, it's empty, it's better to lend it to me This house in the capital is the most difficult to buy, I have always thought that the yard where I live is too small, okay" Zheng Qingchuan said without hesitation in her heart: No, but she didn't open her mouth to speak for the time being, and carefully thought about the words of refusal.If Hong Yuejing, Zheng You or Hong Zhengchang asked her and Su Mu to borrow a house to live in, she would not hesitate to agree, but for the person in front of her, it is not just that she doesn't like it, but also because the fourth aunt and uncle of the Zheng family in front of her have always been stingy, she doesn't want to have anything to do with them in the future, not to mention, the fourth uncle is not small, and he is very rich, he obviously bought a very good house, there is no need to borrow someone else's house to live and wait for her and Su Mu to leave, The fourth aunt in front of me still doesn't know who she will give the Su family's house to live in, and it is very likely that the fourth lady of the Zheng family will be a little unhappy when she sees Zheng Qingchuan not speaking for a long time, and she pretends to be gentle and said: "Niece, does this mean by agreeing" Zheng Qingchuan said clearly: "No" The fourth lady of the Zheng family asked softly: "What does that mean" Some people are thin-skinned, and if they face the pressure of others step by step, they will be red-faced and embarrassed to refuse, but Zheng Qingchuan is not such an honest person.Zheng Qingchuan said calmly: "I will never rent it out, but there are other arrangements, Su Mu has already made arrangements, and he can't lend it to the fourth aunt." ”The fourth lady of the Zheng family was unhappy in her heart, with a kind smile on her face, and asked gently: "How did you arrange it" Zheng Qingchuan smiled and said: "The fourth aunt, please drink tea, Su Mu arranged the matter, I usually don't interfere" Is it only allowed for the enemy to be hypocritical and fake, is there anyone in this world who has not been hypocritical Instead of being beaten passively, it is better to make a move to "give back to the other" The fourth lady of the Zheng family continued to smile gently and generously, praised Zheng Qingchuan for this good tea, and said: "If my nephew needs help, although she comes to me" did not stay for a long time, I was unhappy in my heart, the look in my eyes was a little gloomy, and I said goodbye and left.Zheng Qingchuan took a deep breath and felt a false alarm, as if he had fought with someone else.In the next few days, many people came to her to borrow the house or ask if it was rented, but she politely refused because she was not familiar enough with these people to trust them.Among them, most of them are the family members of Su Mu's colleagues or classmates.After a group of enthusiastic inquiries, when Su Mu came back, Zheng Qingchuan couldn't help but ask him: "Su Mu, you really don't plan to ask many people about my house" Su Mu entered the east room, and while changing into official clothes and homely clothes, he said: "It's too troublesome to lend out, if we come back with something halfway, the two families live in the same house, the host is not like the host, and the guests are not like the guests, it will be more embarrassing and inconvenient."
Let's be empty for the time being" Zheng Qingchuan followed, wrinkled his nose, and said: "I have a way not to lend it to others, but I can rent some houses to others as warehouses to store things, which will be needed by those shops" Su Mu thought for a while, and replied lightly: "It's okay." ”There was no refusal.Zheng Qingchuan was happy, and called Mama Yun to instruct, which meant that only the west courtyard was left, and the main courtyard, outer courtyard and east courtyard could be rented, but they did not live in people, and only stored things.Mama Yun turned around and went to do errands.Two days later, after careful selection, Mama Yun reached an agreement with a wine shop, a bookstore, a silk village, a spice shop, and a pharmacy.Mama Yun replied: "Fifth young lady, these things are relatively clean, and there are some like bacon, eggs, etc., to attract flies, I didn't agree." ”Zheng Qingchuan said: "Mama Yun, these are enough, it's hard work, leave some houses for the tenants on my grange, they occasionally come to the city to do some small business, they can subsidize the family, and they can store their burdens here." ”Mama Yun thought about it and nodded in agreement.Zheng Qingchuan: "I asked Chi Yue and He Feng to stay and watch the house, and didn't take them to Jingzhou, Mama Yun, you are more familiar with the family, you can recommend a few trustworthy people to take advantage of our going out this time, by the way, you can send away some people who can't be trusted, give them a few taels of silver, and return the deed of sale, so that they can leave the Su family." ”There are many old servants in the Su family, and not all of them are loyal and kind.In addition, some of the maids have grown up, and some have become crooked.Mama Yun's eyes lit up, and she asked cautiously and expectantly: "Then am I going to Jingzhou with me" Zheng Qingchuan smiled: "With Mama Yun by my side, I am more at ease In addition, Mama He and Steward Zhong helped me watch the Grange, Chi Yue and Steward Hou looked at the house, and Hefeng helped me manage the shop." ”Mama Yun's face was ruddy, she felt that her face was very bright, and she smiled happily.The day of departure is getting closer and closer, and the Su family is getting busier and busier.Zheng Qingchuan and Su Mu were busy saying goodbye to their relatives, and went to the Hong family first, and then the Zheng family.The old lady of the Zheng family left Su Mu in the study to tell things, for officials and people, the old lady of the Zheng family is more experienced.They were talking about serious things, and the eldest master of the Zheng family was also in the study.Zheng You and Zheng Qingchuan stood at the door of the study and chatted.Zheng You said: "There is one thing that surprises you very much" Zheng Qingchuan deliberately sold Guan Zi Zheng Qingchuan said in a flat tone: "Straight to say" Zheng You said with a smile: "This time I will also go to Jingzhou to play in the mountains and rivers" Zheng Qingchuan said directly: "Lie to people unless you sneak" The eldest lady of the Zheng family manages her son so strictly, and is looking forward to her sons taking the imperial examination, how can she let him go out to play Zheng You smiled with a spring breeze on his face, looked up at the blue sky, and said proudly: "Your second sister-in-law is pregnant, and my mother is worried that I will cause chaos at home, I said that I want to accompany Su Mu to Jingzhou to see and understand, and by the way, I can help Su Mu." , I was also surprised that my mother actually agreed" Zheng Qingchuan was also surprised, and asked very curiously: "How did you make trouble at home" Zheng You raised his fan, intending to knock Zheng Qingchuan, but Zheng Qingchuan avoided it.Zheng You complained: "When the seventh sister grows up, it will be boring and not fun" Zheng Qingchuan didn't pay attention to this, but thought: The most important thing for pregnant women is to be in a good mood, if the husband is in front of me and my aunt, it is better to be out of sight Zheng You has an aunt, this is really enough to add chaos In addition, the eldest lady of the Zheng family may be to ensure that Zheng You's eldest son comes from the belly of the second daughter-in-law, not the belly of the aunt Although the aunt is pregnant, she can use medicine, but the daughter-in-law is pregnant, and those bloody disasters do not accumulate virtue, It's unlucky, as long as Zheng You is sent away, the aunt will not be able to conceive Zheng Qingchuan and glance at Zheng You with the eyes of a pig, and she is more sure of her thoughts.Finding that Zheng Qingchuan gave him such a gaze, Zheng You was not happy, turned around, and asked face-to-face: "Seventh sister, what do you mean" In the distance, a maid and a little maid looked over with concern, thinking that the two were quarreling, because Zheng You's tone and expression were very exaggerated, looking very concerned and serious, and angry.Zheng Qingchuan said: "If a pregnant woman is in a good mood, the child will be very beautiful and healthy, but if the husband is talking to me and me with other women, the wife's heart will be blocked, and the eldest aunt is from the past and understands this, so she lets you go out to play." ”Zheng You's arrogance was a little shorter, but he still didn't give Zheng Qingchuan a good face, thinking that Zheng Qingchuan was mocking him.Moreover, Zheng You is a man, he regards chic and romantic as a natural thing, he hates vinegar jars and verbose women Zheng Qingchuan in front of him is a bit like a vinegar jar, he looks at it unpleasantly, but, after all, there is a deep emotional foundation, this unpleasant emotion is relatively short-lived, as soon as it is blown by the wind, the emotion is forgotten, Zheng You disregards the previous suspicions, and deliberately said: "Seventh sister, I talked to Su Mu before, what kind of woman do you like, do you want to hear it, but what he said is not like you" Zheng Qingchuan refused: "I don't want to listen" This is a bit of an ostrich attitude, she is afraid that she will be cranky, her husband actually has an ideal type in his heart, and he is not herself, she is really afraid that she will be jealous, and she will be uncontrollably jealous, and she has a pimple in her heart, how can it be uncomfortable Zheng You dragged his voice and said deliberately: "Yes" Zheng Qingchuan immediately raised his fist and beat his arm: "Don't say beat you" His face was red, it can be seen how excited Zheng You laughed, seeing Zheng Qingchuan so excited, he was in a good mood.Actually, he didn't lie, he and Su Mu did talk about this kind of topic, after all, the two of them used to talk about everything, they were both cousins and friends.If Zheng Qingchuan wanted to hear it, he would tell her, but Zheng Qingchuan didn't seem to want to hear it this time The old lady of the Zheng family, the eldest master of the Zheng family and Su Muzheng walked out, and when they saw the two people at the door fighting, they were all surprised------ digression------ friends, good night:
