Chapter 209: Heaven and Earth = Eight Hundred Pounds of Salt


This year.

The Chen family is having a bad time.

Since the Chen family replaced He Xin as the richest man in Bishui County, the first three incense sticks on the first day of the Lunar New Year in Furong Temple were used.

The first incense stick belonged to the county magistrate, the second incense stick belonged to the Hu family, and the third incense stick belonged to the Chen family. of.

Let’s talk about the top fragrance first and give it to the county prince.

This does not mean that the Hu family is inferior to the county prince.

In fact, compared to the county magistrate, who has a stronghold on the business and running water, the Hu family is a complete local snake.

The reason why the first incense was given to the county magistrate on the first day of the Lunar New Year was simply because of the low-key family tradition of the Hu family.

For the first incense, absolutely no one dares to compete with the Hu family for the second incense.

Whether He Xin is the richest man in Bishui County or Uncle Chen is the richest man in Bishui County, both of them are competing for the third incense.

The first three sticks of incense on the first day of the Lunar New Year also represent the status of each family in Bishui County.

Since he replaced He Xin and won the right to hold the third incense stick, Uncle Chen's status in Bishui County has been confirmed.

Even when He Xin sees him now, he has to call him "Brother Chen".

Uncle Chen is in the salt business, and He Xin is in the silk business.

There is no business conflict between the two families.

Therefore, even if the marriage between the two families was not completed due to his position as the richest man in Bishui County, the two families have some slight differences. , but he has always maintained the harmony on face.

Unexpectedly, the current feng shui has changed suddenly.

Aunt Chen came to the He family to talk to her aunt's siblings and said, "Sister, have you received the message from the Zhao family?"

Mrs.

He handed over the plate of sugar melons to Aunt Chen and sweetly said, "I got it.

But my family has never been in contact with his family before.

His family is building a new garden, so they sent someone to send a message.

A while ago, I talked to Zijin's mother Speaking of which, this is rare."

"It's not only rare, but all the prominent families in He County, whether they have dealt with his family or not, have sent messages."

Aunt Chen asked, "Sister, are you going to come over that day?"

Mrs.

He peeled a peanut kernel in her hand and said, "What are you doing?

If you go to eat at a banquet, you have to give a gift.

Now in Rich Master Chen's house, it's not like before, where you can go to the banquet with two kilograms of snacks and a foot of fine cloth.

Listen.

Said that his family is now rich and wealthy It’s amazing.

Even the county magistrate’s incense was taken and burned this year.

If it was a gift to his family, how much would it cost if he didn’t have anything valuable?

I don’t plan to go.

Sister, are you going?”

"I'm not going.

But you don't know that when you put up incense on the first day of the New Year, you will feel very angry.

This means that our Hu family is very well-behaved.

In previous years, the incense was given to the county magistrate.

After all, we are the parents of the county. , not to mention that the county magistrate has been in our county for several years, and he is building an academy and The person who built the bridge and paved the road was a good official.

This incense should have been burned for the county magistrate.

Hey, when everyone went there on the first day of this year, the Zhao family did their part and burned the incense.

Thanks to the county magistrate's good temper, he also burned it.

I didn’t say anything.

Besides, in our Hu’s family, the second incense stick was always made by Hu’s family.

Every family burned the incense.

This year, the Zhao family took the lead, and Hu’s family gave up the second incense to the county magistrate.

In this way, Hu’s family burned the third incense, and I and the children burned the fourth.

"Aunt Chen looked unhappy, "Sister, you said you married to our Bishui County when you were young. , I am a native of the county, and our Lao He family has lived in Bishui County for more than ten generations.

The Zhao family has also been in Bishui County for many years, and I really didn't see such arrogant people in the past.

Why has he been so excited since he had a daughter-in-law?

"Who knows?"

Madam He was concerned about something else.

"Isn't this rich man Zhao crazy?

He even dares to steal the title of the county magistrate's family."

Aunt Chen curled her lips and said, "Sister, how did you know that ever since his mother-in-law gave birth to a prince in the palace, the Zhao family has been ingratiating themselves with the Governor.

Their garden is built for no other reason than to marry the third boy. daughter in law."

"Why are you marrying a fairy?

Why did you go out of your way to build a new garden?

I thought the rich man Zhao was building it for his mother, but it turned out that he was building it for his daughter-in-law."

Mother He was quite disdainful of this matter.

Although she only has a son and a daughter, she My son is extremely filial, what's so good about him?

Things are given to her as a mother first, and her daughter-in-law, Shen, has to come second, not to mention the missing daughter-in-law, He Lao Niang.

She is so confident that in the future, A Lie will marry a daughter-in-law.

In her son's heart, she will be his mother.

Yes, it ranks first for sure.

With such self-confidence, Mrs.

He naturally looked down upon Mr.

Zhao’s behavior of building a garden for his daughter-in-law.

Too flattering Flattery to the point of shame Mrs.

He said to Aunt Chen, "Sister, tell me, it's very useful to have a son like this.

The family has just been so prosperous.

If you don't honor me, you should honor your daughter-in-law.

Is there such a thing in the world?"

Aunt Chen, who was a hundred times more informed than Mrs.

He, said, "Sister, you don't interact with that kind of people on weekdays, and you don't know anything about his family.

Of course there is a reason why you can be so filial to your daughter-in-law."

"What's the reason?"

"This little daughter-in-law of his family has an extraordinary background, but she is the daughter of the Governor-General."

He Lao Niang clicked her tongue, "I'm a good girl, the daughter of the Governor's family."

Aunt Chen nodded, "That's right."

Madam He turned to her girl and asked, "What grade is the governor like?"

Aunt Chen: So you don’t know what rank the governor is.

Although Mrs.

He didn't know what rank the governor was, she also knew that he was a very high-ranking official.

He Zijin was sitting on the side listening to the gossip.

Seeing He Lao Niang asking questions, he peeled an orange in his hand and said, "A high-ranking official of the second rank, but generally the governor will also be a bachelor of science and technology.

A bachelor of science is a first-rank official.

Let's put it this way, let's In Shu, the governor is the greatest official."

Mrs.

He took a breath of air and said to Aunt Chen, "Sister, it turns out that Mr.

Zhao's family is in love with such a big shot."

"No, don't you dare to steal the county magistrate's incense stick."

Madam He immediately changed her mind, rolled her eyes, and said, "Oh, that's really incredible.

Sister, we can't afford to offend his family.

Why don't we give him some generous gifts and a meal of wine, so as not to ruin his face?"

.

But I heard that Mr.

Zhao is the most vindictive.

It seems that Hu’s family has offended his family before, and the Bishui Tower cannot be opened anymore.

Otherwise, they are my mother’s family after all.”

Aunt Chen: This is a weakling who can act at the whim of the wind.

He Zijin handed the peeled orange to Mrs.

He and smiled, "Don't worry if you want to go or not.

Why don't you ask Brother Awen to find out what the Hu family means.

If the Hu family goes, our family will go.

If the Hu family doesn't go, our family won't go either.

"This kind of thing is just a matter of course.

There is no hatred between her family and the Zhao family.

Mrs.

He chewed an orange segment and said, "This makes sense."

She gave Aunt Chen two orange segments and said, "Try it, sister.

These oranges are very sweet."

Aunt Chen sighed, "Sister, you are so lucky."

She was born not to worry about her life.

Mrs.

He chuckled and said modestly, "It's okay, it's okay."

Aunt Chen was talking to Mrs.

He, Mrs.

Shen, the second wife of Chen, was listening.

Mrs.

Chen held Brother Jun in her arms and couldn't help but said, "Auntie, you don't know that the Zhao family is hateful and wants to take away our salt." " Only then did Madam He remember what happened to Chen Jiayan and said, "I heard about this rumor a while ago, but then no one said anything about it.

I thought it was just spreading rumors."

Mrs.

He was very concerned, "Why, it really doesn't work?"

Mrs.

Chen Er said, "Who says it's not the case?

The eldest and second elders in the family didn't even pass the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, so they went to the state capital with me to take care of things.

I don't know what happened."

Mrs.

He frowned, and thought that she might not have free salt in the future.

She pouted and said, "I went to burn incense that day, and I even burned a stick of incense for my sister, just to keep my sister's salt safe."

He Zijin consoled him, "In fact, no matter how big the governor is, the Ning family has lived in the state capital for a long time.

Among the families in the state capital, the Ning family ranks second.

Who dares to rank first?

If you ask me, it is the Zhao family who married It is ridiculous that the governor went to the Funing family just because of the Zhao family.

Just rest assured, this is unlikely. " Aunt Chen was able to be sister-in-law with Mrs.

He, so she said, "Why is it unlikely that two families have become in-laws?

You can't favor one of your own."

He Zijin smiled and said, "Sister Erniu will marry the third son of the Hu family.

Could it be that there are some enemies in my aunt's family, and the Hu family will go to make things difficult for that family.

Besides, what about the matter between my aunt's family and the Zhao family?

It's not a big deal at all, even if the rich man Zhao doesn't let go, the governor doesn't have such a big heart."

Mrs.

Shen also comforted Aunt Chen and said, "Auntie, just relax and it won't happen like this."

Everyone persuaded Aunt Chen together and kindly invited Aunt Chen, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to have dinner with her at noon.

The He family has become better off in recent years, and there is no shortage of chicken, fish and elbow meat.

Aunt Chen, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are naturally rich in serving them.

The same rock sugar elbow, the same braised fish, the same taro chicken, the same sauce duck, the same steamed bacon, the same vegetarian stir-fried cabbage, the same cold salad Water radish, paired with winter melon and salty pork soup, and hibiscus and spinach soup.

He Lao Niang said, "It's not outsiders, it's just the six of us.

We won't make any ostentation and just eat at the same table."

He Gong and A Nian were studying at home.

Aunt Chen then remembered that A Nian had taken the scholar examination this year and praised, "This child has a lot of potential."

The Zhao family is gradually growing in Bishui County, which is indeed a very uncomfortable and depressing thing for the Chen family.

After lunch, Aunt Chen and Mrs.

He chatted privately, drank tea, and stood up to leave.

Mrs.

He sent her eldest sister away and went back to the house to sigh with her girl, "I don't know what's going on with your great-aunt's Yanyin."

He Zijin’s old saying goes, “Grandma, just don’t worry, my great-uncle has been traveling all over the world these years.

Is it possible that he is a vegetarian?”

"I have a queen after all."

"Okay, no matter how worried you are, you won't be able to go to the imperial capital."

He Zijin was not worried at all.

Madam He was not worried about the Chen family's salt.

When she talked about the free salt for the hundred and eighty-times, Shen smiled, "If that's the case, mother, don't worry, I use a lot of salt to make pickles every year."

I bought some and it’s enough for our family.”

Madam He immediately became energetic and asked, "How many have been collected?"

Shen laughed, "It's not much.

The main reason is that the pickle shop uses a lot of it.

It's not easy to take advantage of my aunt's house, so I bought some at a low price.

I still have about 800 kilograms, which are stored in the cellar."

Things can't be put away bad.

Mrs.

He clasped her hands together, chanted "Buddha", and laughed, "I just said that the incense in Furong Temple is extremely effective."

Madam He also held shi Shen's hand for the first time, and Fan'er said with joy, "When I calculated the horoscopes for you and A Gong, the master of Furong Temple told me that your horoscopes were created by heaven and earth.

It’s appropriate, but as expected, the master’s words are never wrong again, but now they are effective.”

He Zijin: Heaven created the earth with eight hundred catties of salt. . .

Knowing that she had 800 kilograms of salt, Mrs.

He's worries were all gone.

As for the introduction of Chen's salt, Mrs.

He considered herself just an old country lady.

She had already burned incense for her eldest sister.

As for what happened next, it was not As an old lady, she can make the decision.

Anyway, she just does her best and obeys fate.
