Son

Chapter 45

In June, the weather became hot, and the two of them huddled together on the same bed at night, neither of them could sleep well.Fortunately, in winter, you can get closer to keep warm. Summer is approaching, and it is too hot to sleep alone, let alone such a thick quilt.

Linqing took the money and planned to go to the town to buy two thin quilts, and then pondered whether to hire a carpenter to make another bed.To make a bed, you need another room, and if you want another room, you have to hire a mason. After all, it is really a lot of money. Linqing felt the few taels of silver left, so he had to give up.

I don’t know what I did, money is so easy to spend, so I actually made a few new clothes, bought some paper and ink, and bought some rice if I ran out, I’m afraid that idiot can’t get used to coarse grains, and the meat has never been broken, I’m afraid he’s tired of teaching and thin the...

In this way, it does not cost money!

Shen Xu's teaching skills are limited, and Lin Qing only thinks about not being short of food and clothing, and before he knows it, his savings, which were not much in the first place, are now almost bottomed out.

Linqing hesitated, really reluctant to spend money on a thin quilt.

Qin Wan called him outside, "Okay, it will be too late if you don't leave."

Linqing gritted her teeth, still took the silver, locked the drawer and went out.

If you don't sleep well at night, you will lose energy in teaching during the day, and if you don't have energy, you can't teach well, and if you don't teach well, you will lose your job.Linqing found excuses for himself.

Qin Wan is going to the town to deliver handkerchiefs.He usually stays at home, spins yarn, and embroiders some handkerchiefs, which he sells in the town, so he can make some money for his family.Liu Yulang's salary is not rich, but it's enough to live on. He doesn't need to rely on Qin Wan to make ends meet, so Qin Wan goes to the town to pick up some work when he's in the mood.

The two were walking on the road, Lin Qing was still thinking about Yin Zi, Qin Wan saw that he was absent-minded, and asked, "What are you thinking? I'm talking to you."

Lin Qing worried: "What do you think I can do to make money?"

"Lack of money? Where's Shuxiu, the idiot Shen?"

Lin Qing nodded, "There aren't many Shuxiu, they are all vegetables, fruits, dried meat and so on, and I don't have much cash."

"This is not good? Three meals have never shorted you, what do you want money for?"

Lin Qing counted for him one by one, and at the end of the count, Qin Wan couldn't help pinching his face, and said bitterly: "You are still the young master of Suzhou City, you should be out of money if you spend such extravagant money!"

Linqing said aggrievedly: "It's all things that need to be used..."

Qin Wan rolled her eyes, "When Liu Yulang and I first escaped, we ate bran and swallowed vegetables every day, didn't dare to wash a piece of clothing until it was dirty, and hadn't touched meat for more than a month. It's good for you, you don't leave meat every day. To sell fakes."

Lin Qing felt ashamed after being scolded by him all the time, and felt that she was really not good at housekeeping.

Qin Wan taught him the experience all the way, talking with joy and dry mouth, Lin Qing was dizzy from hearing it, and thought to earn money quickly, it is really impossible to learn the tricks of such a miser.

When they arrived in the town, Linqing first accompanied Qin Wan to sell handkerchiefs.

When the proprietress in the shop saw Qin Wan coming, she burst into laughter immediately.The handkerchiefs Qin Wan embroiders are all fancy styles learned in the Goulan Courtyard in Yangzhou. They have become novelties in this remote town. After the work, Qin Wan was a lot lazy, and it was rare to show off a good handkerchief in ten days. Rare things are the most expensive, and they have become things that everyone loots.

If Qin Wan had aspirations, he would probably seize such a business opportunity to start a good business. Unfortunately, he never had any big ambitions, and he would be content if he could win someone with his heart.Besides, it is impossible for the two of them to have a queen, so who will they leave to in the future no matter how much money they earn?

The proprietress untied the bag of the piano belt, took it out one by one, and exclaimed as she looked at it: "Young master is really good at craftsmanship, and the embroiderers in the town can't embroider such exquisite patterns. Look at this one, the carp on it Such aura, it seems as if it is about to jump out." One after another praised it, and finally sighed: "Young master, it would be great if you could embroider more, the girls in the town are eagerly waiting to buy your handkerchief, but unfortunately every time There are only four or five, and people who can’t buy them come to ask how many days there are.”

Qin Wan lazily said: "Embroidering handkerchiefs is too taxing and tiring."

Linqing said in his heart, where he is tired, he is obviously lazy.

The proprietress smiled and said: "The young master thinks that he is tired of embroidering handkerchiefs. Why don't we take in a few apprentices and teach the embroidering lady, or let them do the hard work, and the young master can just rest."

Qin Wan glanced at her, "Church disciples, master starved to death, boss, just lie to me."

The proprietress smiled sarcastically, changed the subject and went to Kuapazi again.

A few handkerchiefs bought a lot of copper coins, Lin Qing stared at the considerable money bag in Qin Wan's hand, his eyes almost popped out.

Qin Wan narrowed her eyes, "Why, want to learn?"

Lin Qing nodded, then shook his head immediately, "I don't want to learn."

"If you want to learn, I will teach you. You are not an outsider." Qin Wan said indifferently, "Besides you are so stupid, I am afraid that you will cut off my money?"

Linqing really didn't know whether to be grateful or angry.

I went to buy quilts with Linqing again.

Lin Qing picks and chooses, but she can't make up her mind, the price of the bed she likes is too expensive, and she doesn't like the cheap one, Lin Qing is hesitant, thinking non-stop.

Qin Wan couldn't stand it anymore, so she picked up the bed that Lin Qing liked, and walked to the boss, "I'll buy two beds, the boss will think it's cheaper."

Lin Qing stared dumbfounded at Qin Wan's bargaining with the boss, who actually negotiated the price.

After leaving the shop, Linqing was still dazed and did not recover.

Qin Wan said unhappily: "Why don't you spend money fast like this, you have to bargain when you buy things, don't just give as much as you say to stupid people."

Lin Qing nodded blankly, feeling that he still had a lot to learn from Qin Wan.

When he was in a daze, Qin Wan had already dragged him to the gate of the county government office.

Lin Qing was puzzled, "What are you doing here?"

Qin Wan said: "If you want Liu Yulang to invite us to dinner, see if he confiscated Ms. Liu's handkerchief. Hmph, the embroidery is so ugly, I'm ashamed to take it out."

Linqing: "..."

Well, here is a person who can teach others but is stingy.

Qin Wan asked the gatekeeper to go in and report, and Liu Yulang came out after a while, and said in surprise: "Didn't you say that you are going to look for Linqing today? How did you come here?"

Qin Wan said: "Are you afraid that I will spoil your date with Miss Liu?"

Liu Yulang smiled wryly and said: "Just joking again, I happened to be having a small meeting with Brother Zhou, let's come together."

The two followed Liu Yulang into the backyard through the side door. Zhou Mian was drinking with Liu Yulang when he saw Lin Qing coming, his eyes lit up and he stood up and said, "Come and eat together."

Linqing smiled, "Brother Zhou."

Liu Yulang moved two stools over, and a few people sat around a temporary wooden table in the middle of the courtyard. On the table were lo mei, cold dishes, and wontons bought outside. It was originally a private gathering of two people, but now there were two more people , Zhou Mian ran out to bring some food back.

Seeing Qin Wan's greedy look, Liu Yulang couldn't help laughing and said, "You must have clairvoyance, you know I'm adding food, so you come to join in the fun."

"You eat meat and drink, and throw me vegetables at home to eat, how dare you be so righteous." Qin Wanbai him.

Liu Yulang smiled at Zhou Mian: "Discipline is not strict, it's ridiculous."

Qin Wan muttered: "Who cares?"

Zhou Mian was already used to the relationship between the two, and said with a smile, "My brother and sister are very smart, can you resist?"

Liu Yulang smiled bitterly and said, "If you can't stand it, you can only bite the bullet and accept the move."

Qin Wan snatched the stewed pig's ears from his bowl, and snorted, "Then you can find someone who can withstand it."

Zhou Mian laughed, and Liu Yulang's usual unrestrained expression was tinged with embarrassment.

Seeing them talking and laughing so naturally, Linqing had a look of envy in his eyes.

Zhou Mian suddenly said, "I haven't seen Linqing for a long time, why have you lost weight?"

Lin Qing touched his face, "No way..."

Qin Wan said leisurely: "Lovesickness hurts people the most."

Linqing stomped on him desperately under the table, and whispered: "Don't talk nonsense."

Zhou Mian put a piece of boiled chicken into the Linqing bowl, and said softly, "Eat more."

"Thank you." Lin Qing didn't know if he heard Qin Wan's words, so he didn't dare to look up.

Qin Wan rolled her eyes and suddenly said: "Brother Zhou, you are such a good person, why are you still single?"

Liu Yulang said, "Qin Wan."

"It doesn't matter." Zhou Mian waved his hand and said with a smile: "If you don't meet someone you like, you will be alone."

"Then what kind of person does Brother Zhou prefer?"

Zhou Mian glanced at Lin Qing as if he didn't know anything, and said lightly, "It's a good match."

"As long as we get along, it doesn't matter what age or family background?"

"It's enough for two hearts to be happy, everything else is outside the body."

"If Brother Zhou finds someone who is happy with him, how will he treat him?"

Zhou Mian said seriously: "Love him and protect him, don't let him be wronged, give him everything he wants, and I will never leave him for the rest of my life."

"Oh——" Qin Wan drew a long ending, and suddenly hugged Lin Qing, "Brother Zhou is really a good man."

Lin Qing blushed, embarrassed, and nodded stiffly, "Mmm..."

"I don't know who has such good luck to be loved by Brother Zhou." Qin Wan sighed.

Zhou Mian just smiled and said nothing.

Liu Yulang couldn't see that Qin Wan was teasing Lin Qing, so he blocked Qin Wan's mouth with a chopstick, "I'm so suspicious that I can't handle it, and I have time to control others."

Qin Wan was indignant, raised her fist and said angrily, "You are half as good as Brother Zhou, so I don't bother to doubt you."

Liu Yulang begged for mercy: "Yes, yes, it's because I didn't live up to it, and wronged you to get married."

Lin Qing watched the two gag with a smile, turned her head inadvertently, but saw Zhou Mian staring at her.

Feeling flustered for no reason, I quickly lowered my head and tried my best to pick wontons into my mouth.

After begging for a free meal, Qin Wan sneaked into Liu Yulang's room as soon as she dropped her chopsticks, saying that she wanted to see if he had hidden a woman's handkerchief.

Liu Yulang had no choice but to let him play around, but followed him.

Lin Qing and Zhou Mian were left outside, Lin Qing felt a little cramped.

Zhou Mian said: "Aren't you having a good time coming in? You have lost a lot of weight. If you have any difficulties, you should talk to me."

Linqing shook his head quickly, "There is no shortage of food and clothing."

"That means Shen Xu treats you badly?"

Lin Qing was startled, and stared at Zhou Mian in a daze.

Zhou Mian smiled lightly, "I guess you're after him, so I guessed right."

Lin Qing blushed to the point of burning hot, and looked away in shame.He didn't know how Zhou Mian guessed it, and he didn't dare to ask.

"He treats you badly, why do you still follow him?" Zhou Mian asked distressedly.

Lin Qing lowered his head and pursed his lips in silence.

After a while, Zhou Mian sighed, "It's your own business, I asked more."

Lin Qing hurriedly said: "No, no... I... I'm sorry, Brother Zhou..."

Zhou Mian looked at him with pity in his eyes, and said with a wry smile, "What are you apologizing for?"

Lin Qing could only shake his head. He felt guilty that he had lied to Zhou Mian, but he didn't know how to express it.

Zhou Mian reached out to touch his head and sighed, "That's all."

"Brother Liu." The woman's voice suddenly sounded, and people followed the voice into the courtyard.

"Hey, cousin, where's Brother Liu?" Liu Wanwan looked around.

Zhou Mian coughed, and quickly made a helpless expression to Lin Qing. Lin Qing was taken aback, amused by Zhou Mian's mischievous side.

Zhou Mian said: "Why are you running around again? Uncle knows how to punish you."

Liu Wanwan curled her lips, "I only ran out when he was out. It's all my cousin's fault that you complained. Otherwise, why would Dad restrain my feet?"

The last time Qin Wan saw Liu Wanwan giving Liu Yulang a handkerchief, Zhou Mian later told the county lord that Liu Yulang had a family. to the courtyard.But Liu Wanwan didn't know that Qin Wan was Liu Yulang's wife, and secretly thought that Liu Yulang's wife must be some vulgar village woman, and she was determined to let Liu Yulang into Liu's family, so it would not be considered an insult to the talented man.

Linqing had heard of these twists and turns from Qin Wan, and at this moment, she felt a little restless facing the "shameless shrew" Qin Wan called.

Fortunately, Liu Wanwan's eyes did not see him coming at all, and she wanted to find Liu Yulang wholeheartedly.

Zhou Mian got up and wanted to persuade her to go back, "I don't go back to my room, I file a complaint once, and I can file a second complaint."

Liu Wanwan said angrily: "Cousin, why are you always turning towards outsiders? Just don't think about me, but come over to stop me."

"I only stopped you for your sake, what are you insisting on tearing apart the marriage?"

"I just like Mr. Liu, you can't control me!"

Lin Qing quickly looked away, Xin Dao Qin Wan was right, this woman is really fierce!

"Nonsense!" Zhou Mian roared, "Why are women so shameless!"

Linqing nodded desperately, that's right.

Liu Wanwan said sadly: "Why should a man boldly pursue someone he likes, but a woman should hide it?"

Linqing's heart softened again, and she felt that what she said was right.

Zhou Mian said: "If you like him, it depends on whether he likes you or not. He and Jie Fa have a good life, and you want to step in. Are you happy, are you happy?"

Lin Qing nodded immediately, yes, yes.

Liu Wanwan said: "That's also between me and Mr. Liu, he doesn't like me, so he should come and tell me, isn't it abominable for you to obstruct me, cousin?"

It seems to be right... Linqing was completely dizzy, her eyes circled.

Zhou Mian insisted: "Anyway, you must go back to your room, and you are not allowed to come to Liu Yulang's courtyard again."

Liu Wanwan said angrily, "I want to come!"

When the two parties were arguing, they heard Liu Yulang's voice coming from the room, "Linqing, I have a piano here, do you want to try it?"

Lin Qing's heart skipped a beat.

Liu Wanwan broke free from Zhou Mian's restraint, and ran over cheerfully: "Brother Liu!"

Zhou Mian and Linqing looked at each other, showing a horrible expression at the same time.
