The married husband is a grandfather

The golden matchmaker entered the room, Liu Yunniang was going to pour tea for her, Song Qingye immediately said to go, "Mother, let me go, you and the golden matchmaker have a detailed talk."

"Eh, good."

Song Qingye entered the kitchen, and the golden matchmaker's eyes were glued to Song Qingye's body for a while, "Sister Liu, was that your Brother Qiu just now?"

Liu Yunniang shook her head with a smile, "No, that's my boss's husband, and Qiuqiu is only thirteen."

Because Song Qingye developed slowly, he didn't look sixteen, maybe fourteen or five years old. The golden matchmaker was from Yunxi Village and didn't know much about Yunya Village. He only knew that there was a brother in the Chu family who was thirteen this year. , whose name is Chu Qiu, but she has never met anyone, and it is not to blame for her mistaking the person.

"That's a real blessing."

The golden matchmaker praised Song Qingye a few words, and Song Qingye poured white water over. When the golden matchmaker saw that there was no rough tea, and he gave people drinking white water, his complexion immediately turned bad.

When Liu Yunniang saw that it was Baishui, she was about to ask Song Qingye, but Song Qingye spoke first, "Golden matchmaker, my family has run out of tea and only boiled water, don't be disgusted."

The golden matchmaker came to come to kiss her. After the matter is settled, she will naturally be rewarded with silver. Even if she feels uncomfortable, she won't say it outright.

"I saw it a few days ago and there are still leftovers. Why are they gone so quickly?"

Liu Yunniang said suspiciously, and Song Qingye explained: "Mother, Lizheng and they used a lot when they came over last time. It was originally given by others, and not much was used to entertain guests."

Liu Yunniang suddenly realized and nodded, and said a few words of apology to the golden matchmaker, and the golden matchmaker naturally said it was fine and didn't mind.

"This Zheng Xiucai is going to take the Juren Master's exam, and Zheng Xiucai's knowledge is well-known far and wide. If he wins the Juren, your family Chu Qiu will be the husband of the Juren. How beautiful it is."

The golden matchmaker said that Liu Yuniang and Chu Da seemed to be walking on clouds, and they were floating.

Seeing Liu Yuniang and Chu Da look so happy, Song Qingye quickly asked, "Then why did Zheng Xiucai fall in love with our family Qiuqiu? Qiuqiu is several years younger than him, so it's impossible even if we make a decision." Get married so soon. It will take two years, isn't Zheng Xiucai's mother in a hurry?"

Liu Yuniang and Chu Da heard the words and then realized, yes, their family Chu Qiu is only thirteen, even if it is settled, and the Geng Tie is exchanged, it will take two years to get married.

The golden matchmaker quickly laughed and said: "That's right, this Zheng Xiucai wants to study wholeheartedly and shine in the family. His mother and younger brother are fully supportive, so I hope to marry a well-behaved and sensible person who supports Zheng Xiucai. They inquired about your family. Chu Qiu is diligent and agile, and his family members are diligent and kind-hearted people, so I asked me to talk about it."

When Chu Da and Liu Yuniang heard it, it turned out to be the case. Although their family Chu Qiu was a bit stubborn, he was diligent and sensible. He was clearly a brother but he often helped Chu Da and Chu Yu to work in the field. He was not at all coquettish like those brothers.

Liu Yuniang and Chu Da asked some more questions, and the golden matchmaker answered them one by one.

Liu Yuniang and Chu Da felt very satisfied, so they thought about when they would go to see each other. The golden matchmaker happily pulled Liu Yuniang and said, "There is nothing wrong with this. There is no such shop, our village has heard that Zheng Xiucai wants to marry a wife, and many people want to tell their girl."

Liu Yunniang and Chu Day were so anxious that they almost agreed. Song Qingye hurriedly jumped out and said, "Isn't Zheng Xiucai's family asking for anything? Like dowry or something."

The golden matchmaker covered the tip of his nose with a handkerchief, and smiled hesitantly, "Zheng Xiucai's family doesn't have many requirements, just say that you need to prepare 50 taels of silver for the dowry of Brother Qiu's marriage. As for the rest, it's up to you. Now, this dowry belongs to Chu Qiu of your family, and it cannot be returned to Zheng Xiucai, it just means that Chu Qiu’s marriage will give Zheng Xiucai a face."

When Chu Da and Liu Yuniang heard it, what? 50 taels?The two of them have never seen so much silver!It only cost ten taels of silver when I bought the foundation and built this thatched house with a yard.

Seeing that Chu Da and Liu Yuniang were about to retreat, the golden matchmaker quickly said: "You have to think clearly, Zheng Xiucai is famous, and he doesn't need to kneel down when he sees the county magistrate. He is so knowledgeable, and in time he can become a Master Juren, maybe you can go to the capital to be an official, and then you will be the father-in-law and mother-in-law of a high-ranking official. Chu Qiu will enjoy endless glory and wealth."

When Chu Da and Liu Yuniang heard what she said, their hearts were shaken again. Their hearts were really swaying in the wind.

"If you are worried that Zheng Xiucai's family will take your brother Qiu's dowry by force, you can make a written statement, so that you don't have to worry."

Liu Yunniang looked at the matchmaker in embarrassment, "It's not that we are worried about this, but that we really can't afford that much money."

The golden matchmaker tossed the handkerchief, "Isn't your family doing business with the big restaurant in the town? Even if you don't have this money now, you can borrow it. When the family is rich, it will not be too late to pay it back. You can't be afraid of it." You can't escape."

What the golden matchmaker said was also a solution. Liu Yunniang and Chu Da showed a tangled look. Seeing this, the golden matchmaker immediately said: "How many people want to marry Zheng Xiucai with shameless faces, but they didn't agree, so they fell in love with you." Jia Chuqiu, there is nothing to hesitate, if you don’t want to, I have no choice but to go back to Zheng Xiucai’s family and let them find another family, according to Zheng Xiucai’s conditions, many girls can’t ask for it.”

As soon as the golden matchmaker got up and wanted to leave, Chu Da hurriedly stood up and stopped the golden matchmaker, "This... golden matchmaker, we can't just make a decision on marriage, we have to wait and see."

Then the golden matchmaker said with a beaming smile: "That's the reason. I'll go back and tell Zheng Xiucai's family that it would be good for us to meet each other sometime."

"Then trouble the golden matchmaker."

Liu Yunniang and Chu Da got up to send off the golden matchmaker.

Song Qingye frowned, saying that the dowry will be documented, and when Chu Qiu is really married, who will recognize the document, he can see that this Zheng Xiu wants to continue studying and take the entrance exam, but there is only one in the family Mother and younger brother, he can do nothing but study, has no source of income, and relies entirely on his mother and younger brother to support him. Now that he wants to marry a wife, he wants to find someone to give him financial support.

The reason for choosing their family should be that the news about their family's business with Jinquelou was passed on, and they thought their family was rich, and Chu Qiu's evaluation in the village was not very good, he was not good at giving birth, and had a bad temper. No one would dare to ask for my elder brother, let alone a scholar, Liu Yunniang and Chu Da would dare to scrape together the money just because of this.

Song Qingye quickly figured out the key points of the matter. In fact, if this Zheng Xiucai is capable, he would not mind subsidizing him to study, but if he is an idiot and dares to make plans with their family, then don't blame him for being cruel. up.

"Chu Yu, what's the matter?"

He raised his chin at Chu Yu, Chu Yu's eyes darkened, and he nodded his head, the two of them understood each other, it goes without saying.

Liu Yuniang and Chu Da sent the golden matchmaker back, sat down and asked Chu Yu and Song Qingye for their opinions.

Song Qingye and Chu Yu looked at each other, and said, "Father, Mother, Chu Yu and I will definitely take care of Qiuqiu's marriage, but should I ask Qiuqiu what he means? After all, it's his someone to marry."

Liu Yunniang meant something like this, but Chu Da was old-fashioned, what did Chu Qiu know about the orders of his parents and the words of a matchmaker.

"I'll find some time to ask Qiuqiu what she means." After all, Liu Yunniang felt sorry for her brother and hoped that Chu Qiu could marry a happy one.

The family just broke up and went to work on their own affairs.

The next day, just after lunch, Zhao Jinhua came to find her. Although the quarrel was very unpleasant before, Zhao Jinhua entered the door with a smile on her face. Naturally, Liu Yunniang couldn't drive people out with a broom with a straight face.

"Is sister-in-law busy?"

Zhao Jinhua sat next to Liu Yuniang familiarly, saw the fruit on the table, picked it up and ate it, "Well, these peaches are really sweet, where did you buy them?"

"The ones picked in the back mountain are all picked by that kid Qing Ye, and I don't know where they picked them."

When Zhao Jinhua heard that Song Qingye picked it, she immediately wanted to throw the peach away, but it was really delicious. She had never eaten such a delicious peach in her life, so she couldn't bear it.

"Well, sister-in-law, I actually came today to discuss something with you."

Liu Yuniang was surprised that Zhao Jinhua had something to discuss with her, and it wasn't just to borrow money, right?

"What is it?"

Liu Yunniang asked calmly.

Zhao Jinhua approached her and talked intimately with Liu Yuniang, "It's like this, my Chunni is not fourteen now, and I'm worried."

When Liu Yunniang heard that it was not for borrowing money, but for Chu Chunni's marriage, she relaxed her vigilance, and said kindly: "Chunni is born well, and she is a girl again. Isn't the matchmaker who said she was going to break through the threshold? Have you heard of it?" What to worry about."

Zhao Jinhua rolled her eyes, "Sister-in-law, you don't know, there are so many people here, you have to see who they are, Wang Er's old lady still has the cheek to tell her son about my Chunni."

Liu Yunniang's eyes widened. Wang Er is a notorious scoundrel, and this man's old lady is really thick-skinned. Whose family is a good girl and a good brother, dare to tell him.

"Sister-in-law, aren't you well-informed? I just want to ask you if you know any man with good conditions that you can tell Chunni to my family, or if there is any powerful matchmaker you can introduce."

Liu Yunniang's first reaction was to think of the golden matchmaker, but she didn't know what the golden matchmaker was like, so she couldn't recommend it to Zhao Jinhua indiscriminately.

"Sister-in-law is fine, you can say whatever you want. A few days ago, I heard that a matchmaker came to your house, but did you tell Brother Qiu?"

Liu Yunniang didn't expect the news to spread so quickly, she nodded hesitantly, "There is such a thing, but it hasn't been settled yet."

"Then you are not satisfied with the man's family?"

Liu Yunniang shook her head, "No."

Seeing her hesitation, Zhao Jinhua patted Liu Yuniang's hand and said, "Oh, my sister-in-law, our sister-in-law, Qiuqiu is also my nephew, so there is nothing you can't say."

Liu Yunniang just smiled and told Zhao Jinhua the whole story, Zhao Jinhua stared round her eyes, "50 taels is not a small amount, sister-in-law, you should be careful, in case it is really for your money. This is a good saying , you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others."

When Liu Yunniang was told by Zhao Jinhua, her heart immediately started to beat, but with their family Qiuqiu's conditions, it can be said that she had surpassed Zheng Xiucai, and besides, the 50 taels was Chu Qiu's dowry, and it was said that it could be documented, so Thinking about it, Liu Yunniang felt a lot more at ease.

She chatted with Zhao Jinhua for a long time before Zhao Jinhua left, Liu Yuniang didn't think much about it, since they were relatives, it would be good to see more.

Song Qingye and the others were doing farm work in the sun in the sun at this time. Song Qingye experienced firsthand how painful it is to be backward in ancient technology. Although the process of turning rice into rice is not too many, it mainly depends on strength.

He and Chu Qiu were weak, so after Chu Da and Chu Yu separated the rice stalks from the millet, they tied up the rice stalks, shook them to prevent the grains from being caught inside, and then piled them together. This is the straw, which can be used as fodder It can also be used as firewood.

Song Qingye and Chu Qiu scooped up the straw and some other things in the millet with a rake. After Chu Da and Chu Yu finished, they took advantage of the wind to raise the valley with a wooden shovel. When the wind blew, those in the millet Dust and debris are blown away, leaving only clean grain.

Chu Da was wearing a singlet, which was already soaked through, while Chu Yu was wearing a short brown sweater, his sleeves were covered in sweat when he flicked his sleeves. Beads of sweat rolled off his wheat-colored skin, dripped onto the ground, and disappeared in an instant. As soon as Song Qingye looked up, he saw the scene of Chu Yu drinking water with his head up. He raised his neck, not knowing whether it was the water leaking from the kettle or his sweat dripping down from his chin all the way down his throat. The protruding Adam's apple rolled up and down as he swallowed.

Song Qingye suddenly felt parched. After Chu Yu finished drinking the water, he lowered his head and closed the lid. He seemed to have noticed Song Qingye's gaze. He looked over suspiciously and asked him what's the matter with his eyes.

Chu Yu's eyelashes were thick and slender, Song Qingye hadn't noticed before, when his eyelashes were wet with sweat, Song Qingye was even a little worried about whether Chu Yu's vision was still clear, those eagle eyes, which were always sharp and silent, looked like It was soaked in water mist, clean and clear.

Song Qingye rarely looked away shyly, lowered his head and continued to push the millet.

Chu Yu looked at Song Qingye suspiciously, but didn't ask any further questions.

When the work was almost done, the four of them found a shady place to sit down and rest for a while.

There are also many peasants resting around them. They would talk to Chu Da before, but now no one pays any attention to them.

A group of old men are still sitting together and gossiping. The Chu and Da couples are kind-hearted, but they did not expect to marry a daughter-in-law who turned out to be a femme fatale.

Chu Da felt uncomfortable when he heard that. Recently, the people in the village were more and more interested in isolating their family, and few people greeted him when they came and went.

This is a very painful thing for Chu Da who likes harmony. He forgot about Chu Qiu these two days. Song Qingye promised them to think about handing over Fang Zi. I don’t know how he thought about it. up.

However, there are too many people here, and it is not a place for questioning. Chu Da plans to go back and ask again.

The millet was almost sun-dried, and Chu Yu and Chu Da divided it several times to carry it back. Song Qingye looked at Chu Yu without blinking his eyes when he carried such a big bag of millet, and walked away, looking down at his hands, Suddenly, I felt that I really needed to exercise.

Song Qingye and Chu Qiu were collecting things in the back, but they unexpectedly bumped into an old man, who came up to him and asked him, "My little brother, do you know where Song Qingye's Mr. Song's home is?"

Song Qingye sized up this person, and had a guess in his heart about the identity of the person who came.

"I don't know what the old man is looking for Song Qingye for?"

"It's like this, my boss sent me to discuss a business with Mr. Song."

As expected, "I am Song Qingye."

The old man was startled, "You...you are Song Qingye?"

Song Qingye smiled and said, "What? Doesn't it look like it?"

The old man shook his head apologetically, "No, it's just that I have never heard that Mr. Song is a brother."

Song Qingye raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, "I'm really not a brother."

The old man's eyes widened, and he looked Song Qingye carefully up and down, "It's an old man with clumsy eyes, I hope Mr. Song will forgive me."

Song Qingye waved his hand, "I probably guessed the purpose of the old man's visit, why don't we talk about it in detail at home, I just came back from the field, so it's really inconvenient to entertain guests."

The old man saw that Song Qingye spoke and behaved well, he didn't look like a mud leg at all, so he immediately had a good impression of Song Qingye.

"Second brother, what were you talking to that old man just now? Why can't I understand?"

Song Qingye patted him on the shoulder and said, "After this period of time is over, my second brother will teach you how to read."

Chu Qiu's eyes widened. He knew that Song Qingye could paint, carve, and cook a lot of delicious food. He was smart and could do some kung fu. From the beginning, he hated Song Qingye to slowly worshiping Song Qingye. Qingye, Song Qingye, who is so powerful now, actually said that he would teach him to read.

"Really...really? Second brother, I'm a brother."

Chu Qiu can't speak well anymore. Although my brother can go to school, but there are only two out of a hundred brothers who can go to school. Compared with being able to read and write, the family hopes that they are proficient in needlework and housekeeping. After all, who I don't expect a brother to take the imperial examination, either.

This is probably similar to a woman's lack of talent is virtue.

"What's wrong with my brother, besides being able to have children, what is the difference between my brother and a man? Why can't I go to school? What's more, as long as I want to study and study, no matter if I am a man or a brother, a woman can do it. It has nothing to do with who you are, the key is whether you want to or not."

Chu Qiu was shocked by Song Qingye's words. He never thought that it could be like this. Song Qingye seemed to open a door to a new world for him.

The old man asked the groom to follow Song Qingye, and overheard what Song Qingye said, he was shocked. Could this be the apprentice of some hidden master?

With such a mind and insight, not to mention their town, there are not many people in the Jin Dynasty.

The old man is determined to do business with this Mr. Song and establish a good relationship.

Song Qingye brought people into the house, Chu Da and Chu Yu were resting in the main room, Liu Yuniang saw the visitor, and looked at Song Qingye suspiciously.

"Mother, this old man asked me to talk about something, you don't have to worry about it, by the way, where did the old man come from?"

Song Qingye put down the tools in his hand and asked.

"I am the shopkeeper of Linfulou, my surname is Zhang."

Naturally, Liu Yunniang had heard the name of Linfulou, she was startled when she heard the words, and suddenly became a little at a loss.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, please come inside. Don't be offended by the shabby home."

Shopkeeper Zhang was also very surprised that Mr. Song's family could be so poor. This house would collapse if the wind blows, so why would anyone want to live in it.

But there was a smile on his face, "It's a good place with green mountains and green waters."

After hearing this, Liu Yuniang and Chu Da really thought that people really praised them here, and there were simple and honest smiles on their faces.

Shopkeeper Zhang entered the room, only to notice a man sitting in the main room. Although he was unkempt, unkempt and smelled of sweat, he was handsome and imposing.

This and Mr. Song really don't look like they were born of this couple.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, please wait for a while, I'll go and clean up first."

"I was the one to be rude, Mr. Song, please go ahead."

Shopkeeper Zhang didn't mind waiting a little longer, although he had been in Linfulou for many years, and not many people dared to make him wait anymore, but this short period of getting along had already made Shopkeeper Zhang decide to have a good relationship with Mr. Song.

Song Qingye got up together, and Chu Yu got up with him, and then went to the kitchen to help Song Qingye carry water into the house.

Song Qingye didn't refuse either. Song Qingye simply took a shower and didn't have time to wash his hair. Chu Yu went to the back of the kitchen to take a shower with cold water. not cold.

Chu Da couldn’t do it anymore. After all, he was not young anymore, so he couldn’t compare with Chu Yu. He brought hot water into the house and went to take a bath. In fact, he didn’t intend to take a bath. It was Zhang Zhang sitting there, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Embarrassed, even if their family is poor, they can't embarrass Song Qingye in this regard, right?

When Song Qingye came out of the house, he heard shopkeeper Zhang asking if the peaches Liu Yuniang ate just now were still available and whether they could be sold.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, don't make things difficult for my mother. I planted these peaches myself. There are not many of them. They are enough for my family to eat. I cannot mass-produce them."

Shopkeeper Zhang felt a little pity when he heard it. The peach juice is sweet and smooth, and it is really a rare and good product.

"The shopkeeper Zhang wants to talk to me about tofu?"

Shopkeeper Zhang didn't expect Song Qingye to guess before he even opened his mouth, "Yes, recently, because of the two new dishes of 'Golden Sparrow Tower', many guests from the town have gone there, and there are also many dignitaries. Wenfeng came here from other places just to eat these two dishes. To be honest, our "Lin Fu Lou" was hit hard this time. It took a lot of effort to learn the origin of this tofu, so I hereby come to the door .”

Liu Yunniang sat aside and heard it quietly, and was shocked. This tofu is so attractive, and it should be very profitable. Only then did she really realize that she, Chu Da and the villagers asked Song Qingye to hand over the recipe What an act of robbery.

Feeling guilty, Liu Yunniang took Chu Qiu into the house, and only Song Qingye and shopkeeper Zhang were left in the main room. After a while, Chu Yu came over after taking a shower and sat next to Song Qingye. Talking to shopkeeper Zhang, he didn't look at Chu Yu, but reached out to take a teapot and poured a cup of tea in front of Chu Yu.

Chu Yu naturally picked it up and took a sip. The voice of the shopkeeper Zhang paused. He looked at the two people suspiciously. He originally thought that the two people were brothers, but he felt that there was a subtle difference in this way, but what is the difference? , he couldn't tell.

"Master Zhang? What's the matter?"

Seeing Shopkeeper Zhang stop suddenly, Song Qingye asked, Shopkeeper Zhang shook his head and said with a smile, "No, I just feel that the two of you have a really good relationship."

Song Qingye was stunned for a moment, then hooked the corners of his mouth, but Chu Yu's hand holding the teacup paused. He and Song Qingye seemed to have a good relationship?
