There were more and more people watching, Song Qingye saw that this person insisted on making trouble, his face turned cold, and he said directly: "Okay, you said that there is something wrong with my tofu, and I also said that you want to blackmail me, since that's the case, When we go to see the official, we are upright and not afraid of the shadow, the official will naturally make a judgment."

When the man heard that he wanted to report to the police, it would be enough to pay for such a small matter, but this husband actually wanted to report to the police, and the man was so frightened that his legs went limp.

"I think you just want to deny it. Who doesn't know that you have a backer in the town. When the time comes, if your backer tells you, the official will definitely support you."

Originally, the man's reaction made everyone lean towards Song Qingye, but it was not unreasonable to hear the man's words.

Song Qingye snorted coldly, "Are you saying that the official took bribes and used his power for personal gain? I advise you to take this back. If it reaches the official's ears, don't say that I put you in jail."

Hearing this, the man trembled in fright, holding the hoe in bewilderment, not knowing what to do.

As soon as his legs were weak, he was about to run out, but Chu Yu grabbed him by the collar, grabbed him back and threw him in front of Song Qingye.

"Everyone has seen that I am innocent, and I am not afraid to report to the officials. Master Qingtian will return my innocence. It was this villain who first complained, but now he is afraid."

Song Qingye looked at the man condescendingly. The man was thrown by Chu Yu, his whole body hurt like hell, and he begged for mercy, "I was wrong, please forgive me, don't send me to see the official, I still have a wife and an old lady at home... "

When everyone saw it, it turned out that this man really framed Chu Yu's family.

Song Qingye pulled away the man's hand that was holding his leg, "Don't move, those who don't know think you have something wrong with me."

The man was so frightened that he quickly let go and took several steps back.

"Since you know you have a wife and mother at home, why would you do such a thing?"

The man was forced to retreat by Song Qingye's momentum, and finally sat on the ground and cried, "I can't force it! It's Wang Er and the others who said they want to teach your family a lesson."

Wang Er?Song Qingye had never heard of this name.

He looked at Chu Yu, and Chu Yu told him, "There is a rogue in the village."

"It turned out to be Wang Er. I mean, I've been seeing him wandering around the area recently."

"Chu Yu's husband, that Wang Er is a rascal who spends his days idle, you have to be careful."

"That's right, this Wang Yi has a dark heart."

Song Qingye nodded, "Thank you for reminding me, what's your name?"

Song Qingye asked the man, but the man trembled and dared not answer, someone answered for him, "Chu Yu's husband, this is the brother of Dashan's daughter-in-law Liu, Liu Cheng."

Dashan's daughter-in-law?

Oh, Yuanjia Road is narrow, it turned out to be the brother of Chu Yu's runaway fiancée, Chu Li's mother.

"You see my family's tofu was almost ruined by you. It's impossible to just let you go for nothing."

Song Qingye glanced at Liu Cheng, and Liu Cheng hurriedly looked at Chu Yu, "Chu Yu, I'm also your ex-uncle, you can't let your husband send me to the government. We almost became a family."

Chu Yu gave him a cold look, and stood behind Song Qingye, with the posture of supporting Song Qingye.

Song Qingye sneered in his heart, it's okay if he doesn't mention it, and it's even more impossible to let Liu Cheng go easily if he mentions it.

"Chu Yu, Mrs. Chu Yu, we are all fellow countrymen, it's a bit too much to be sent to an official, it doesn't sound good if you don't say it."

"Yeah, it's better to forget it, I don't think Liu Cheng dares."

Someone spoke good words for Liu Cheng, and Liu Cheng also took the opportunity to hurriedly say to Chu Yu and Song Qingye: "Yes, yes, yes, I know I was wrong, please forgive me this time."

If this posture continues like this, if Song Qingye doesn't forgive Liu Cheng, he should be the one with a malicious heart.

"Why don't you invite Lizheng to come here. As a catering business, I'm most afraid that someone will say that there is something wrong with my family's products. If word spreads to the town, who would dare to ask for my family's tofu."

Everyone thought it made sense when they heard it. Chu Yu's family was in the catering business, and the most serious thing was a bad reputation.

In the end, Lizheng was invited, and Lizheng called Wang Er to ask him if he instructed Liu Cheng to do this. Wang Er refused to admit it, saying that Liu Cheng framed him.

The two insisted on their own opinions, and Liu Cheng had no evidence that Wang Er had instigated him, so he had no choice but to swallow this boring loss.

Wang Er smacked his mouth twice, "Hmph, I'm afraid you don't know, everyone Chu made money quietly, and they don't care about the life and death of us folks. I'm not talking about this. If you don't believe me, ask Li Zheng .”

The villagers asked each other suspiciously when they heard the words, and Wang Er saw that some people didn't believe him and said, "Didn't horse-drawn carriages come into our village every day these days, and they came to do business with Master Chu, and to buy tofu."

Zhengzheng hasn't told everyone about this, how did Wang Er know about it?

Li Zheng frowned suspiciously, and the villagers were shocked, they all looked at Li Zheng, asking if Li Zheng was real.

"Folks, please be calm and don't be impatient. Don't listen to Wang Er's instigation. Everyone should know what kind of person Chu Da is, and he will definitely not do such a thing."

Li Zheng immediately opened his mouth to comfort him. When the villagers heard this, instead of calming down, they asked Li Zheng excitedly, "So, does everyone in Chu really have a way to make money? Can this tofu really sell for so much money?"

"Chu Yu, is Mrs. Chu Yu real? You can't keep it private."

Song Qingye saw that Lizheng had pushed them into the center of the storm with a single word, and felt a chill in his heart.

Song Qingye gave Chu Yu a look and told him to take the things away, "Uncles and aunts, can you take out your family's money and spend it on me?"

When the villagers heard this, they quickly covered their purses, "What are you talking about, my husband? Why should I spend my family's money on you?"

"That's right, this husband has lost his mind."

Song Qingye smiled, his eyes turned cold, "Then why should I give you the prescription I came up with."

After speaking, he and Chu Yu picked up the table and entered the room, and closed the door with a "bang".

Lizheng didn't think that these two people would be so desperate, they didn't leave any leeway, didn't they think about how to survive in the village in the future? !

There was no tofu sold, Song Qingye planned to make it himself and eat it.

"Chu Yu, do you think I've gone too far?"

Song Qingye put the things away, turned around and asked.

Chu Yu shook his head, "Listen to you."

Song Qingye smiled and walked up to Chu Yu, "Why are you so obedient?"

Chu Yu pursed her lips, said nothing, lowered her head and continued to pack her things.

Looking at Chu Yu's back, Song Qingye couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth. At worst, he would move to the town, and there was nothing to miss here.

He didn't need to be that angry at all, even though he knew that Li was planning on him for the sake of the development of the whole village, and even dug a hole for him to let him suffer, deliberately saying that their family is not that kind of selfish Don't those who are interested in profit just want to use soft knives to force them to hand over their prescriptions?

When eating in the evening, the family sat at the dining table, Chu Da wanted to speak for a long time before he spoke, and asked Song Qingye: "Qingye, when I came back, I heard that you were so angry that Lizheng fell ill today. This matter?"

Song Qingye looked at Chu Da suspiciously, and shook his head, "I don't know, Lizheng and the folks forced me to hand over the tofu recipe today, but I didn't agree. Didn't I also refuse Lizheng before? Why not?" Will you get sick?"

When Chu Da heard it, it really was because of Fang Zi.

He hesitated for a long time before saying with a stern face: "Otherwise, let's just take out the prescription. It's so ugly to make trouble with the villagers and offend Lizheng again. After all, I will live in the village in the future. Today I No one greeted me on the way back.”

Liu Yunniang felt the same way, the main reason was that Chu Qiu would still talk about marriage in the future, and offend the village all over, how would they live in the future, they were single-family, no one would help if something happened.

"That's right, Qingye, mother also knows that it's not easy for you to come up with this recipe, but we can't never communicate with the villagers, can we? In the future, Qiuqiu will rely on the villagers when talking about marriage."

Song Qingye understood what Chu Da and Liu Yuniang were thinking, but why, there was no reason why his things were cheaper than others.

"Then let me think about it."

Song Qingye didn't reject them immediately, he lowered his head and said hesitantly.

"Hey, okay, think about it, think about it."

Liu Yunniang and Chu Da saw that Song Qingye was willing to consider it, so there was still room for discussion on this matter.

Chu Qiu didn't understand the affairs of their adults, so he took a rest early after washing up.

Song Qingye sat on the edge of the bed thinking, when he was bitten by a mosquito, he suddenly pulled out of his thoughts.

He looked around, but Chu Yu hadn't come in yet.

He was about to put on his shoes and look for Chu Yu, when he saw Chu Yu coming in from the outside, holding something wrapped in cloth in his hand, and handed it to Song Qingye.

"For me?"

"Yeah." Chu Yu nodded.

Song Qingye took it, and opened the cloth to take a look. It turned out to be a bow inside. The body of the bow was brownish red, and it was polished very shiny. The string was golden under the candlelight. Yu went out for a while while he was discussing business, presumably to buy strings.

Song Qingye caressed the bow and arrow carefully, and the internal test of the bow and arrow was even engraved with words.

"Qing - wild -"

When he figured out what those two words were, Song Qingye's heart skipped a beat and he held his breath.

"When did you do it?"

"Before."

Song Qingye looked back and forth fondly, "Thank you, I like it very much. Did you engrave this word?"

Chu Yu nodded, "Well, the engraving is not good."

Song Qingye shook his head violently, "It's very well carved, I like it very much."

He leaned his face on the bow and arrow with a smile on his face, Chu Yu looked at him, his eyes softened.

"Chu Yu, is this a reward for the dagger last time?"

Song Qingye's star-like eyes stared at Chu Yu from bottom to top, Chu Yu's thin lips slightly pursed, "No."

"I want to send you off."

Song Qingye suddenly laughed, knowing that he was still yelling outside the window, in the noisy summer night, he suddenly felt a little at ease.

On the second day, Song Qingye got up as usual to prepare tofu, but he didn't open the door to sell tofu in the afternoon, someone came to ask him, Song Qingye sat in the yard peeling beans, "I won't sell it anymore."

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, "Little husband, don't be like this, my old lady is still waiting to eat."

"Yeah, didn't Liu Cheng explain it yesterday, did he frame your family? Why didn't you sell it today?"

Song Qingye put down the beans in his hand and said, "I just don't want to sell them anymore. I'm too tired. It's a little difficult for us to make what the restaurants in the town want. If we didn't consider that many old people and children in the village like to eat them, we wouldn't I would rather be more tired than rest and make more tofu."

The villagers looked at each other in dismay when they heard the words. It turned out to be like this. Thinking of their aggressive appearance yesterday, they couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

"Chu Yu's husband, since you are tired, why don't you hand over the recipe and let us all do it together, so that you can relax."

When a woman suggested this, Song Qingye glanced at her coldly, "Auntie's house is too tiring to take care of the children, why don't you share your child with me and I'll raise it for you?"

"You husband, what kind of stupid words are you talking about? You can't give birth to yourself, but you are thinking about other people's children, bah!"

The woman spat at Song Qingye's feet at his feet. Song Qingye's eyes turned cold, he stepped forward and pushed the man out, and then closed the door with a "bang".

Originally, everyone thought that if they didn’t eat it, they wouldn’t eat it. Anyway, Song Qingye was the one who couldn’t make any money. As a result, there were children clamoring for tofu that night, and an old woman clamoring that it was unfilial if they didn’t buy it for her.

Song Qingye's tofu added diluted spirit spring, and he ate too many things with ample spirit energy, so he couldn't even look at those ordinary meals.

Song Qingye crossed Erlang's legs, not panicking at all.

After peeling the beans, he remembered the saltpeter he bought. He first put milk and jam in a small bowl, stirred it, put a wooden stick in it, and then put it into a basin filled with saltpeter and clear water. Soon the saltpeter was absorbed. Hot, the milk jam popsicles in a small bowl are ready.

Song Qingye took out the milk jam popsicle and tasted it. It tasted good, especially in the scorching summer, he felt cool all over.

Song Qingye looked at the milk and thought of another dessert, Jiang Zhuangnai.

He is going to try.

When Chu Yu and the others came back from the outside, they saw the dazzling array of food on the table, and stood there dumbfounded.

"Second brother, what did you do again? It smells so good."

Chu Qiu threw down the tools in his hand and ran over. Song Qingye handed him a bowl of shaved ice. There were various fruits piled on the snow-white iceberg, jam was poured on top, and some sesame seeds were sprinkled on it. One bite was as happy as a fairy .

"It's delicious!"

Chu Qiu took a mouthful of the jam, and Chu Da picked up a popsicle and tasted it, all the heat was washed away, and a faint sweetness lingered in his mouth.

Song Qingye handed the chilled ginger milk to Chu Yu to taste, and Chu Yu took a sip. The smooth and sweet taste of the milk was very good even for a person like him who doesn't like sweets.

"good to eat."

Song Qingye was naturally happy to hear such a pertinent evaluation.

After Chu Qiu finished eating the shaved ice, he wanted to eat something else, but Song Qingye stopped him, "Eat less, it's too cold, it's not good for the stomach, and it's easy to have diarrhea if you eat too much."

After all, Chu Qiu was a child, so he bargained and said to Song Qingye, "Second brother, can I have another one? Just one."

Song Qingye had nothing to do with him, "Only eat one."

"Well, second brother, you are so kind."

Song Qingye smiled helplessly at Chu Qiu, and touched Chu Qiu's head.

Chu Yu paused while holding ginger milk in his hand, his eyes fixed on Song Qingye and Chu Qiu.

"Second brother, are you going to open a restaurant?"

Chu Qiu asked curiously, Song Qingye could cook so many delicious food, probably because he wanted to open a restaurant.

Song Qingye actually has this plan, but if he opens a restaurant, he will inevitably confront Wen Tingchun. He needs Wen Tingchun's backing, and he has no intention of being hostile to him yet.

He can see that Wen Tingchun's background is not simple. Although Song Qingye has no idea of ​​becoming an official in the court, and only wants to be rich and safe, but there are troubles wherever there are people. Power and money are the best umbrellas, just like What happened recently, if Song Qingye hadn't reminded Lizheng that he knew the owner of Jinque Tower and that the two had business contacts, it is estimated that this recipe would have to be donated if he didn't want to.

"It's too tiring to open a restaurant. Your second brother is lazy and doesn't want to do this."

Chu Qiu felt that Song Qingye didn't seem like a lazy person, so he asked curiously, "Then what do you want, second brother?"

Song Qingye smiled, "Sell rouge and gouache."

Chu Qiu's eyes widened when he heard this, "Second brother, I didn't expect you to like these."

In Chu Qiu's opinion, selling rouge and gouache should be something that women or brothers like to do. How can a man like Song Qingye like to sell rouge and gouache? Could it be that Song Qingye has a heart to be a brother in his body?

Looking at Song Qingye's face, Chu Qiu suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong, so he looked at Song Qingye's face, even if he really went to sell rouge and gouache in the future, no one would say anything about him.

Liu Yunniang rushed back from the outside in a hurry. She stayed outside for a while today because someone wanted to marry her family, Chu Qiu.

It was the first time in a long time that someone asked her about Chu Qiu.

As soon as Liu Yunniang was happy, she chatted a few more words, but she didn't expect the man to be a scholar.

Liu Yunniang really didn't expect that there would be a scholar who fell in love with their family Chu Qiu, and she felt excited, but she didn't settle down hastily, but asked carefully.

Song Qingye cooked the dinner. After dinner, Chu Qiu went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and it was then that Liu Yuniang talked about the scholar.

"Today someone came to say hello to Qiuqiu."

Chu Da was shocked when he heard the words, "Really?"

Liu Yunniang nodded heavily, "Really, the other party is still a scholar."

The three people present were a little surprised now, Song Qingye asked suspiciously: "Why would a scholar fall in love with Qiuqiu from our family, why should he be a girl."

"I thought so too, so I asked a few more questions, it's why I came back late." Liu Yuniang explained.

Chu Da looked joyfully at Liu Yuniang and asked again and again, "How old is the scholar? Who else is there in the family? How is he?"

"That Xiucai is from Yunxi Village next door. There is only an old mother and a younger brother in the family. There is an elder sister in the upper class. After two years of marriage, she passed away due to childbirth and her younger brother is sixteen. That scholar is a bit old, just twenty."

"Twenty? Isn't that seven years older than Qiuqiu?"

Song Qingye frowned in disapproval. In his opinion, Chu Qiu was still a child. What kind of family is 13 years old? He hadn't developed yet when he was [-] years old.

That scholar was seven years older than Chu Qiu, and he didn't get married at the age of 20 this year. It wasn't that Song Qingye treated the belly of a gentleman with a villain's heart, but how could it be possible to marry at the age of 20 in ancient times when so much emphasis was placed on incense.

Chu Da didn't care, "It's better to be older, you know how to love others."

Song Qingye asked again: "Then why did you wait until twenty to say goodbye?"

"I asked the same question. I was afraid that there would be some problems. The matchmaker told me that it was because the scholar had been concentrating on getting his fame, so he was delayed. The mother at home urged him urgently, telling him to settle the marriage no matter what. accepted."

It made sense to say so, but Song Qingye still felt that something was weird, but he didn't say any more.

Chu Da smiled as if he had solved a problem, "Then when can we go to see each other?"

Liu Yunniang replied: "I told the matchmaker to ask her to come back tomorrow, and we will talk about it in detail."

Chu Da nodded, "That's very good."

Song Qingye looked at Chu Da and Liu Yuniang looking so happy, but he couldn't feel happy in his heart. Although Chu Qiu has gained weight now, his skin has become fair and lustrous, his hair is black and thick, and even the pregnancy mole on his forehead is getting brighter Yes, but he still looks very thin, just a child who has just grown up. Does Song Qingye really treat Chu Qiu as his own younger brother? Will such a small bean sprouts be someone else's wife?

He suddenly understood the feeling of his father marrying his daughter.

Chu Qiu didn't know that someone had come to his door to propose a kiss to him. After washing the dishes, he innocently played with the bamboo dragonfly Song Qingye made for him, rubbed his hands together, and flew into the sky.

Song Qingye looked at Chu Qiu with a melancholy expression, completely unaware that all this had fallen into Chu Yu's eyes.

When sleeping at night, Song Qingye pushed Chu Yu, "What do you think of that scholar?"

"You'll know when you see it."

Chu Yu's voice was as flat as ever.

"That's your own brother, why don't you care at all."

Song Qingye felt that Chu Yu's reaction was too indifferent, Chu Qiu was so clingy to Chu Yu on weekdays.

"It only adds to worry."

Song Qingye knew that Chu Yu was saying that it was useless for him to think about it.

Song Qingye sighed heavily, "Why do I feel so unreliable? Am I thinking too much? Besides, Qiuqiu is only 13 years old. Parents are not too anxious. Qiuqiu will continue to follow this trend. , in the future it will grow, and the people chasing him will line up from the village head to the village tail.”

Song Qingye said to himself, Chu Yu didn't respond and he wanted to push Chu Yu, Chu Yu grabbed his hand and put his hand back, "Well, sleep."

Song Qingye squeezed Chu Yu's hand vigorously with the other hand, but Chu Yu didn't respond at all, Song Qingye pouted, "You are so boring."

He just said casually, but he didn't see Chu Yu's eyes flickering in the darkness, and he quickly regained his composure.

The two slept peacefully all night, and at noon, the matchmaker really came.

Song Qingye saw that she was a plump woman in bright clothes, with a big red flower pinned on her head, she looked extremely festive.

Liu Yunniang greeted her with a smile on her face, "Gold matchmaker, please come inside."

The golden matchmaker walked in and looked around. When he saw their dilapidated thatched cottage, his smile froze for a moment, and then he tried to cover it up, but he couldn't escape the eyes of Song Qingye and Chu Yu.
