Reborn Farmhouse Restaurant [Transmigration Book]

The next day, Du Qingchen took Du Rulin to the restaurant together. After looking at the running water yesterday, he handed over the restaurant to Du Rulin to take care of, while he took Su Dong to the county town for shopping.

"Do you want new clothes?" Du Qingchen looked at Du Rulin with a smile. If he could buy two more, Su Dong could also make less.

Du Rulin thought for a while, and said, "I want a Confucian robe." The one he bought before was when his family was poor. He never said that the family is not short of this little money now, so Du Rulin brought it up.

Du Qingchen nodded, "Yeah! I forgot, you really should change into a new Confucian robe, you are now a child student, no longer an ordinary private school student, next year you have to take the examination for scholar, you can't change your clothes Feel free to make do with it, I’ll buy you a few new ones, and two more clothes that you can usually attend literary meetings, after all, you can’t always wear Confucian robes.”

Du Rulin's eyes lit up. Everyone likes good clothes, so naturally he likes them too!Du Rulin felt a little embarrassed again, "Will it be too expensive?" Du's father will definitely talk about them when he knows.

"You are a well-known scholar, and you have to save your face. Of course, you have to save your face. You should study hard, and if you are tired, study poetry, so as not to prevent someone from deliberately targeting you in the matter of fighting essays in the future. You won’t be able to answer at that time, you’ll lose face.”

Du Rulin was startled, looked more serious, and nodded, "I know, brother." He is indeed weak in poetry, but he has a better understanding and is good at reading and writing articles. He really can't do it, and he really should study hard.

Du Qingchen said again: "What book do you want? Did you ask me to buy it for you?"

"Uh? Is it possible?" Du Rulin was surprised. Books are always very expensive. Du Rulin only borrowed books from Mr. Liu to read them, or went to the bookstore for a while, and even looked at the shopkeeper's eyes. Yes, he just borrowed and copied it. He never thought that he could own books.

"Well, so what do you want?" Du Qingchen nodded.

Du Rulin hesitated, then he wanted too much, he wanted poetry collections, great sages' annotations, scientific examination transcripts, and even miscellaneous books to read, woo woo woo, miscellaneous books are not good, the master said , Miscellaneous books move people's minds, and they are useless to the imperial examination, so they should not read them.

Du Rulin struggled for a long time before finally making a difficult decision, "I want the books, transcripts or annotations for the scientific examination, or the examination papers from previous years, all are fine."

Du Qingchen nodded, indicating that he remembered it, and went out to drive Su Dong to the county seat in a donkey cart.

The county seat is much more prosperous than the small town, and the shops on the street are more abundant than the town, and the goods are more complete than the town. Du Qingchen wants to buy some good-looking and useful things, and he even bought bacon and ham for gifting. Father-in-law and mother-in-law, most of them were loaded in the donkey cart in a short while, which made Su Dong terrified. Their family was already considered wealthy, but even during the Chinese New Year, there was no such battle!

But thinking that these are what Du Qingchen wanted to buy, Su Dong didn't say a word, but every time he watched Du Qingchen take out the money, he felt pain in his flesh, but after watching for a long time, he probably became numb, and Su Dong gradually calmed down .

After shopping for a long time, Du Qingchen bought a bunch of daily necessities such as food, condiments, etc., and then clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's go to the clothing store and pick out clothes."

Su Dong nodded, and the two headed towards the tailor shop.

When Du Qingchen entered the store, he told the store owner what he wanted to buy. When the other party heard that Du Qingchen wanted to buy so many clothes, he happily poured tea for the two of them, and then asked them to bring out the clothes for Du Qingchen and Su Dong to try on.

Su Dong went to try it first, and Du Qingchen said, "Are there any Confucian robes here? There are better long gowns."

"Of course there are, please sit down for a while." The shop owner immediately asked the clerk to go to the back to get the clothes, and said to Du Qingchen with some embarrassment: "Well, the Confucian robes are loose, but the gowns still have to fit. How about that guest's stature?"

Du Qingchen made a rough gesture, and hesitated for a while, because Du Rulin didn't come, so he didn't know if the gown fit. Du Qingchen turned his eyes to the clerk in the shop, his eyes lit up, and he pointed at him and said, "Please trouble me." Little brother, please help me to try it! He has a similar body shape to my brother."

The youngest in the store is not tall, and it looks like Du Rulin's height at the moment, so he can help out with a try.

"Of course it's okay." The store owner immediately asked Xiao Er to change his long gown for Du Qingchen to see.After going back and forth several times, I finally chose two pieces, one made of cotton and linen, and the other made of brocade, and the brocade one was paired with a belt of the same fabric. Pian Pian good son.

Du Qingchen put it away in satisfaction, and Su Dong also chose the clothes here, so he went to try on new clothes.

Su Dong was holding the clothes Du Qingchen had chosen and sitting on a chair, waiting for Du Qingchen to come out after changing his clothes. Two people entered the shop, they looked like a master and a servant, and a carriage was parked outside the door. Su Dong couldn't help but went up to meet him immediately.

"Hey, you're here, please come in quickly, the long skirt you want has been made, would you like to take a look?" The store's attitude was flattering.

Su Dong also stood up, not daring to sit any longer. The woman in front of her was wearing a pink gauze dress, her waist was full, and she was wearing a white jade pendant. Around the shop, Su Dong still couldn't help lowering his head, feeling a little ashamed.

The maid behind the woman saw where Su Dong was sitting just now, and turned her gaze to the boss.

The boss immediately said: "Look at me, buddy, move another stool."

Only then did the servant girl smile with satisfaction, the shop was not big, so the waiter had to put the chair next to Su Dong's chair, served tea, and the woman walked over and sat down.

Su Dong stood for a while, feeling that he had nothing to be afraid of. If Du Qingchen came out later and saw him standing with a woman sitting beside him, he might have misunderstood that he was being bullied. If he explained Knowing that he stood up by himself, Du Qingchen would definitely sigh to himself again, thinking that he was cowardly and cowardly, and he would not dare to sit down because others didn't do anything to him.

Thinking of this, Su Dong took a deep breath, pretended that the person in front of him did not exist, sat back with his clothes in his arms, and attracted a cold glance from the woman, Su Dong pretended not to see it.

No matter how the maid looked at it, she felt that Su Dong was not eye-catching, but he was just a brother, and he looked like a farmer in his clothes, yet he dared to be so close to her master, and even pretended that her master didn't exist, so he didn't even look this way.

"Little brother, can you please get up?" The servant girl put on a smile in a good voice, but she couldn't see her eyes, "My young lady has a lot of chest tightness these days, and I don't like people being so close to her."

Su Dong was sitting down bravely. Hearing this, he stood up almost immediately, but after standing up, he realized that he disliked him?What chest tightness is simply an excuse!Sitting here, why did she feel tight in her chest? If she was really tight, how could she leisurely go shopping for clothes and even go into the shop? This shop is so small that it makes her chest tight!

Su Dong's face was flushed red, and he wanted to turn back, but seeing the woman's clothes, he was afraid that she was either rich or expensive, he was not good at arguing with others, and coupled with the difference in status, he couldn't speak for a while.

The woman just raised the embroidered handkerchief, pursed her lower lip lightly, didn't say a word, and didn't look at Su Dong's location, as if she didn't deserve her attention at all.

Du Qingchen just changed his clothes and came out. Just as he heard the servant girl's words, Du Qingchen glanced up and down at the sitting woman. A tulle dress that shows off your figure.

The main wife pays attention to being dignified and stable, and the maids outside will not call her Miss, but Madam, which is also a symbol of status.Since she is a woman who dresses so delicately regardless of the cold weather and is called a young lady by the maids, then she is only a concubine of a wealthy family.

A concubine’s room is not considered a wife’s room, so naturally it cannot be called a wife, but in the mansion, it’s okay to be called a concubine. After leaving the mansion, most concubines prefer to be called girls, and they appear to be more noble. It means that she is a rich and noble girl, not a man's plaything.And some concubines are also called girls at home, so it is not considered a violation of the rules.

Du Qingchen laughed lightly, walked over in stride, stood in front of Su Dong, and cupped his fists at the woman, "This... I don't know your surname, if you feel unwell, you still have to go to the doctor. You can't hold on, it's easy to be small." It's not good if the illness becomes a serious illness, and if it's cold today, you should stay indoors and take care of yourself, and it's better to wear thicker clothes, so that you can be healthy!"

The woman's eyes turned cold, and she looked at Du Qingchen. Du Qingchen's words seemed to be fine, and every sentence was for her benefit, but it was also for stabbing her heart.

First, he called her Auntie, pointing out her seemingly rich but lowly status, then followed the servant girl's words and cursed her for being in poor health, and her minor ailments would turn into serious illnesses, and finally let her stay in the house honestly, and despised her Tianli wears frivolous clothes just to please her husband.

The woman's pretty face was frosty, and the servant girl also sensed something was wrong, and immediately shouted, "Bold! My young lady is from the Feng family, and my lord is the magistrate of this county. How dare you be presumptuous!"

Du Qingchen was taken aback, "I've met County Magistrate Feng, and I know he has a concubine. I wonder who this is?" Du Qingchen said calmly, vaguely explaining why he met County Magistrate Feng, which only made people misunderstand him and County Magistrate Feng. Ling is an acquaintance, and has a good relationship, and even knows what concubines are in his family.

The woman froze slightly when she heard the words, and the servant girl was also dumb for an instant. She didn't dare to say anything, but looked at Du Qingchen suspiciously. This man is not a big gentry in the county!The clothes don't look the same, and the faces are even more unfamiliar. They all know those families in the county.

The woman had already got up and saluted, "Your maidservant is shameless and offended you, how dare I ask you who is it? Maybe I have heard your name from your lord?" The woman said, pointing out that if Du Qingchen lied indiscriminately, she could knew.

Du Qingchen smiled, "I'm Du Qingchen."

Du Qingchen didn't explain much, his expression and demeanor were very calm, and he seemed extremely confident, because he believed that Magistrate Feng would not tell his concubine all the people he had been with, even if she was favored again, the more he Confidence, the more the other party murmurs, the more afraid to mess around.

Besides, she was a pretty concubine who was arguing with young men outside, would she dare to go back and complain?Even if he complained, what did he say wrong?Du Qingchen became more calm.

But the woman seemed to have heard his name before, she froze slightly, and raised her head in surprise, "So it's Boss Du, I've heard about him for a long time, but I've never seen him before, I'm really disrespectful." The woman's tone softened, and she didn't care about herself Lost face.

Du Qingchen paused. He didn't believe that County Magistrate Feng had really told his concubine about him, but the woman immediately pointed out his identity, which made him have some other guesses. Magistrate Feng's concubine also knew him. Then it is most likely... "The girl's surname is Qiu?"

Seeing that Du Qingchen changed his name to call her a girl, the woman's face looked better now, she nodded respectfully and said: "The Qiu family in the town is my family. My uncle once mentioned Boss Du, saying that Boss Du is young and promising, and has a bright future. .Looking at it today, it really lives up to its reputation.”

Du Qingchen smiled lightly, noncommittal, "I didn't expect the Qiu family to think so highly of me, I'm really flattered."

Seeing that Du Qingchen seemed to have a problem with her family, Aunt Qiu quickly wanted to explain something, but Du Qingchen had already turned to Su Dong and said, "Just this one on me! Don't pick it."

Su Dong nodded, and Du Qingchen was about to turn around and change his clothes. Aunt Qiu thought it was because they offended this brother just now that Du Qingchen was so angry. Judging by the appearance of the two, they seemed to be husband and wife, Qiu Auntie immediately turned around and blamed Xiaotao who was behind her, "Don't hesitate to apologize to this young master. It's fine to be arrogant and rude in the mansion on weekdays, but if you are still like this outside, how can I take you out in the future?" He squeezed the corners of his eyes, as if he was very aggrieved and helpless.

Xiaotao immediately stepped forward and bowed her head in salute, "Apologize to this young master, and please don't argue with me, a rough girl, and Boss Du, don't be angry either! It's all my fault."

Du Qingchen looked at Su Dong, Su Dong raised his head and smiled, as if he didn't care, Du Qingchen felt relieved, "It's just a small matter, girl You are Welcome."

Seeing Du Qingchen let go, Aunt Qiu breathed a sigh of relief. When Du Qingchen changed his clothes and came out to pay the bill, Aunt Qiu saw the Confucian robe and brocade clothes with sharp eyes, and couldn't help asking. Du Qingchen explained: "It's for my little brother. He bought it a few days ago and won the first place in the children's test. I thought that he would be a man of fame in the future. It wouldn't be the same as before, so I bought him some new clothes, so that whether it is for school exams or to participate in The poetry anthology meeting will not lose face."

Aunt Qiu was in a complicated mood for a while, and couldn't speak.

Du Qingchen didn't care about her either, he said it on purpose, after all, if there were no accidents, the top-ranked Tongsheng would definitely be admitted as a scholar.

Du Qingchen paid nearly one or two taels of silver to buy all the clothes. What's more, Aunt Qiu crumpled up the silk handkerchief in her hand. Two taels of silver, but Du Qingchen was only a commoner, and he even spent one tael of silver at random.

Aunt Qiu didn't say a word, and even secretly complained in her heart that her elders wanted to use her for the benefit of the family, why not marry her to a family like Du Qingchen, if they can make a fortune in the future, wouldn't they also be able to help the family? ?Whatever you do, you must send her to Feng County Magistrate's Mansion, let her serve someone who can be her father, who is not yet a regular wife, and will never be able to get ahead.

Du Qingchen didn't care what Aunt Qiu thought, and left the store together with Su Dong. After walking a long way, Su Dong said with emotion: "She looks glamorous, but she seems to be suffering."

"How do you know?" Du Qingchen laughed, pulling the cart and walking ahead.

"I can see it! She talked softly afterwards, and she doesn't seem to be doing well." Su Dong said silently.

Du Qingchen said: "That's right! It's not so easy to be a servant or a concubine. How can there be such a good thing in this world that allows you to reach the sky in one step without being wronged?"

"So you don't want to follow the Tao family." Su Dong said.

"Yes! So I don't want to."

The two of them bought something and went back to the town. On the other side, Aunt Qiu didn't have the mood to go shopping anymore. She casually ordered the clothes, paid the money and went back to the mansion. After seeing Magistrate Feng, she even chatted After talking about Du Rulin, she only said that she bumped into Du Qingchen's husband in a tailor shop, and after a casual chat, she learned that the second son of the Du family had won the first prize of Tongsheng.

County magistrate Feng was both surprised and couldn't help thinking, "When I saw that kid named Du Qingchen last time, I thought he was young, so isn't his younger brother younger this year? He can get the first place in the exam at a young age... ..." Not to mention that the scholar is stable, and if you study for a few more years, it will not be a problem to raise people!

County Magistrate Feng thought for a while, and said to the woman beside him: "Didn't you keep saying that you wanted to eat the food at Du's Restaurant last time? Tomorrow is fine, why don't I go with you?"

Aunt Qiu was surprised. As a concubine, there are few opportunities to go out, and she can't go far. Basically, the only places she can go are jewelry and clothes shops. She wants to attract attention when she goes to other places. She didn't expect Magistrate Feng to go out. I want to accompany her to a restaurant in the town for dinner. Of course, she is not greedy, but Aunt Qiu is still happy. After all, the town is where her family is. Since it is rare to go back, she must not be barred from entering!Accompanied by County Magistrate Feng, it was very honorable for her to return to her natal home this time.

Aunt Qiu didn't know Magistrate Feng's thoughts, but was secretly happy.
