Dressed as a blacksmith

Xing Wu drove Yu Dameng and Qiao Yuan home. When he was about to enter the house, Qiao Yuan stopped him on purpose, found a brazier and lit it before allowing Yu Dameng to enter.

"Cross the brazier, go and get rid of bad luck."

Yu Dameng wanted to laugh a little, but also felt a little distressed. Fu Lang, who is not afraid of tigers or wolves, has become so cautious.

Seeing him still laughing, Qiao Yuan reprimanded: "It's better to believe what is there than to believe what is not."

Yu Dameng stepped over, Qiao Yuan ordered Xing Wu to go to the old house to inform Lin Cuifen that Lin Cuifen had returned, and went to the bedroom to find a change of clothes for Yu Dameng.

As for the changed clothes, they were thrown away.

Qiao Yuan caressed the red marks on Yu Dameng's neck, and said ruthlessly, "We must beat that bastard scholar a few more times!"

To relieve his hatred.

Yu Dameng hugged him in his arms, full of distress.

Worried and anxious all day and night, Qiao Yuan felt his heart fell into reality when he nestled in Yu Dameng's arms at this moment, and couldn't help shedding a few tears.

Yu Dameng kissed him lightly at the corner of his eyes.

Qiao Yuan rubbed him intimately in his arms, and when she heard Lin Cuifen coming, she pushed him away and said angrily, "Go take a bath!"

He went out to tell Lin Cuifen about the situation and prepared food for Yu Dameng.

Lin Cuifen really didn't expect to walk in the courtroom, and was horrified when she heard the words, "Then there is nothing wrong now?"

Qiao Yuan said: "It's gone, those who made trouble have been taken into custody."

Lin Cuifen looked at Qiao Wang who was playing with coal balls in the corridor of the main room, and said, "Then Qiao Guangzhi really murdered your parents?"

Qiao Yuan said: "I don't know either, I just guessed that the yamen servant has already taken Xu Xiuhua for questioning, and there will be no result until the new county magistrate takes office."

Qiao Yuan sighed, a little worried about what Qiao Wang would do if he knew that Qiao Guangzhi had been sentenced to death, "Don't tell my grandma about this, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it."

Lin Cuifen nodded, and when Yu Dameng came out of the shower, he rushed up to see his son, crying again.

While Yu Dameng was eating, Qiao Yuan helped him wipe his hair.

After a while, Father Yu and Yu Xiangxue also came back, and they already knew about the interrogation in the county seat.Even so, seeing people sitting here safe and sound with my own eyes made my heart feel relieved.

Yu Xiangxue apologized to Qiao Yuan, "My brother-in-law, everything is caused by me."

Qiao Yuan hurriedly said: "Why do you blame elder brother? It's all because of the three of them being dishonest and colluding together!"

Even though Qiao Yuan said so, Yu Xiangxue still felt guilty, and secretly made up his mind that Qiu Wei would go to high school in one fell swoop to protect his family from the wind and rain in the future.

"Your friend knew you were safe, and said he was relieved. It's not right today, so I will come to see you with the general some other day."

Yu Dameng nodded. Father Yu Lin Cuifen and Yu Xiangxue knew that they must have a lot to talk about, and they were worried that they would be tired all night, so they didn't bother.

Everything was calm, Qiao Yuan looked at Qiao Wang's, not knowing how to speak.

Qiao Wangshi pretended nothing happened, and teased Qiao Yuan with the briquettes.

Qiao Yuan tried his best to pull a smile, and said along the hair of the coal ball: "Grandma."

Qiao Wang's figure paused, and said lightly, "I'm fine."

Then he stopped talking.

Resting during the day, not very sleepy at night, Qiao Yuan nestled in Yu Dameng's arms and whispered to him, "Yesterday you were arrested, and I thought that you might be tortured in prison, and my heart would break."

Yu Dameng held Qiao Yuan's hand tightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "I made you worry."

"Originally, I thought that we should live our lives according to our duties, and earn some small money to live a relaxed life. But after this incident, I found that it is not enough to just have a small amount of money here, and it must always be for our children. Think about it later."

Qiao Yuan continued: "Kuang Chuli has saved our lives, and I can probably guess what he wants to give me, and I have to repay one or two."

Yu Dameng kissed his forehead, "Just do whatever you think of."

The room is gentle and tender, and the two of them are watching you and me.

Suddenly Mrs. Wang knocked on the door eagerly, "Brother Qiao, go and have a look, your grandma has a high fever!"

Yu Dameng and Qiao Yuan quickly put on their clothes and got up, Qiao Yuan went to see Qiao Wang in the main room, and Yu Dameng went to call Dr. Wang in the village.

"I can't cure this. This is an emergency. I have to go to the medical clinic in the city!" Doctor Wang temporarily took Qiao Wang's fever-reducing pills to relieve the fever first, but he didn't have any good medicinal materials in hand. To cure the root cause, you still need to go to the medical center in the city.

Yu Dameng heard the words and hurried out to pull the ox cart, and the two took Mrs. Qiao Wang and Mrs. Wang to the county seat.

There is a curfew in the city at night, but in case of an emergency, even a little money can be released.

The yamen guards guarding the city gate saw that they were Yu's husband and wife who were tried in court today but took down the county magistrate, so they let them go without daring to ask for money.

"Stagnation of liver qi, disturbance of phlegm fire." Old doctor Zhou finished Qiao Wang's pulse and sighed.

Qiao Yuan asked, "Is that dangerous?"

"If it is light, the primordial spirit will be out of support, if it is serious, the mind will be in disorder, but there is no life-threatening." After the old doctor Zhou finished speaking, he went to the side to write the prescription.

Qiao Yuan thanked her, and looked at Qiao Wangshi on the couch, feeling uncomfortable, and couldn't stop crying.

Yu Dameng felt distressed, hugged him on his lap, and patted him.

"I feel uncomfortable, and I think she is too miserable."

I lost my husband in my early years, and lost my two sons in my later years, so I have nothing left.

Qiao Yuan quietly leaned on Yu Dameng, and the two guarded Qiao Wang's for a night together.

Qiao Wang woke up the next day, lying on the bed in a daze.

Qiao Yuan called her for a long time before she answered him in a daze: "Who are you?"

Qiao Yuan was shocked and hurriedly called old doctor Zhou.

The old doctor Zhou cut the pulse and observed Qiao Wang for a long time before he said: "The mind is in disarray, she probably doesn't remember who you are."

Qiao Yuan felt uncomfortable, so he leaned on the couch and called her softly, "Grandma, I'm Brother Yuan."

"Who is Brother Yuan?" Qiao Wang asked confusedly, and then she suddenly seemed to remember something, and was anxious to get out of bed, "Where are my Zhi'er and Cheng'er?"

"It's raining! Why don't you go home?"

Qiao Yuan tried to coax her with a smile and said: "Father and uncle have gone out to do business, and it will take a long time to come back. They entrusted me to take care of you."

"Ah?" Qiao Wang became more and more confused, "Didn't Zhi'er get angry with Cheng'er just yesterday?"

She thought for a while and said happily: "Brothers are like this, there is no overnight hatred."

Qiao Yuan stroked Qiao Wang's hand lightly, nodded and said, "Yes, before they left, they told you to eat well and take care of your health."

Qiao Wang looked at the rain outside the door in a daze, and kept repeating: "I don't know if I have an umbrella or not..."

Her illness came and went quickly, but she didn't know people very well, sometimes she kept talking about Qiao Guangzhi and Qiao Guangcheng, sometimes even the two of them were forgotten.

She just plays with coal balls all day long, or feeds the chickens, ducks and rabbits that Qiao Yuan specially bought for her.

But seeing that Tian Tian is a happy and crazy old lady, Qiao Yuan doesn't know whether it is luck or misfortune.

"Damn! You are living a good life! Look at how magnificent this house is, much better than the small dilapidated courtyard where I lived in Fucheng!"

It was Lei Ji who said this, and he was a good friend of Yu Dameng's army whom Yu Xiangxue invited from Fucheng with a military card.Both of them used to serve in the Northwest, and were later selected by Pei You to join his personal battalion.Lei Ji had an old mother to take care of at home, and returned home after the war ceased.

Qiao Yuan said: "Brother Lei was supposed to have a banquet the next day, at home..."

"Hey!" That Lei Ji is a very heroic person, he embraced Yu Dameng and said: "My brother's husband Lang's words are off the mark, Dameng and I are brothers who are so good that we can wear a pair of pants!"

Qiao Yuan wanted to laugh a little, and tried his best to hold back, "Then you guys talk first, and I'll prepare the food and drinks."

Chu Li followed Qiao Yuan out, angrily said: "A group of stinky men want to drink again, I won't eat with them for a while!"

Qiao Yuan smiled, deliberately teasing him, "Ah, I think you don't want to be with that general?"

Chu Li blushed, said to ignore him, and ran to play with Brother Liu.

Lei Ji was still sighing at Yu Dameng's new house, "If your house is well decorated, it will be amazing!"

The house has already been built, and part of the furniture has already been put in, but things have been messy recently, and Qiao Yuan hasn't had time to arrange it properly, so it looks a little empty.

"After I retire, I will also buy a house in the countryside, how comfortable it is to live in!"

Yu Dameng smiled and scratched his head, "It's all designed by my husband."

"It's so good to marry a daughter-in-law?" Lei Ji was puzzled. Although he saw that little brother Qiao was quite virtuous, he knew that he was a stupid brother, and he must let that little brother overwhelm him and control him everywhere. .

Pei You scoffed, "You can eat enough for one person and the whole family won't be hungry, what do you know?"

Lei Ji quit, "General, you are still talking about me, you are also alone!"

These words poked Pei You's heart, Pei You was so angry that he kicked him, Lei Ji dodged, and the two fought in the room.

Yu Dameng smiled and watched them making trouble, just like when they returned to the camp.

However, after eating the dishes made by Qiao Yuan, Lei Ji changed the subject and sighed, "It's good to marry a wife."

Qiao Yuan served a jar of wine, and said to Pei You and Lei Ji, "Both of you are good wine drinkers, how about tasting this wine for me?"

Lei Ji was addicted to alcohol, so he immediately took the wine jar from Qiao Yuan's hand, poured himself a glass first, then poured another glass for Pei You and Yu Dameng, then took a sip impatiently, smacking his lips, his eyes lit up instantly, "Good wine! Enough flavor!"

Pei You had to be more reserved, he took a sip and then said strangely: "This wine is much stronger than ordinary wine."

"That's right." Qiao Yuan discovered earlier that the wines of this era are traditional fermented wines. He once had the idea of ​​making distilled wines, but then he ran aground considering that the profits of wines were too large, and he had no background and no backing, and he might cause disaster. .

Pei You quickly realized, "Is this the wine you brewed yourself?"

Qiao Yuan nodded, "I heard from Ali that we have now traded with the barbarians. It is a place of bitter cold, and I think this kind of spirits should sell well."

Lei Ji said: "Why sell such fine wine to that poor place? I bought it myself."

Pei You kicked him hard under the table, then raised his glass to Qiao Yuan with a smile, without saying anything.

Qiao Yuan's wine was naturally drunk by Yu Dameng, and before going out, Qiao Yuan said emphatically in Yu Dameng's ear, "Drink less."

Lei Ji watched and felt that marrying a daughter-in-law was not so good.

Chu Li was still playing with Brother Liu in the yard. Seeing that Qiao Yuan had finally finished his work, he said, "Remember to invite me when you move into your new house in a few days, and I will give you a big gift."

"Are you not angry with me again?" Qiao Yuan teased him.

Chu Li pursed his lips, dissatisfied: "You will find me happy."

When the two talked about Pei Yi, Qiao Yuan found out that after Pei Hui returned to Beijing with Wen Jingnian, Wen Jingnian separated from Wen's family and bought another house. Pei Yi's life is much easier now, but he still doesn't pay much attention to Wen Jingnian.

"Ah, if you know that you have come up with a new method, you must come here in a hurry."

Not only wine making but also methods of making incense and decolorizing brown sugar to make pure white sugar. Qiao Yuan wrote down everything he could think of in the booklet and handed it to Chu Li. The thing was shocked, if these methods are feasible, the profits behind it will be immeasurable, and only then did he realize that the store he cooperated with Qiao Yuan before was just a play.

"The conditions here are poor, and I haven't tried the method of making incense and sugar, but it should be feasible. You can find someone who is proficient in this way, study it carefully, and you will be able to understand and improve the method."

Chu Li naturally understood this truth, and for a moment he rubbed the booklet in his hand as if it was worth a thousand dollars.

Qiao Yuan said: "I can probably guess what you are going to give me, but I have no big ambitions because I am guilty of being pregnant. All I want is to live with my husband in this small courtyard. We are simple and peaceful. It’s just a quiet day, and I don’t want to achieve any grand plans and get involved in the disputes of the current situation. So..."

Before Qiao Yuan finished speaking, Chu Li said: "I understand, I told the outsider that this method was thought up by the artisans under Ah Hou."

He sighed heavily, resting his chin and said: "It seems that I have to rethink what housewarming gift to give you."

He couldn't give away the plaque of "The Son of Heaven Co-Consults" that he specially asked for from his father.

Lei Ji claimed that he would never get drunk for a thousand cups, but he fell drunk on the shochu brewed by Qiao Yuan. feed him.He was injured, and Da Meng even helped him cook, bathe, and wash his clothes. His brothers never treated him so well.

As he talked, he said that whoever dared to bully him, Brother Dameng, would fight desperately, etc., and said that he had already broken the hands and feet of the dog county magistrate and the shit scholar.

Pei You couldn't bear it any longer, ordered his guards to gag him, escorted him to the carriage, and brought Chu Li back to his foothold in the county town.

After they left, Qiao Yuanfang asked Yu Dameng, "Are you happy?"

Yu Dameng nodded, his eyes were bright, full of joy.

Qiao Yuan snorted, "So I'm not the first person you have washed clothes for."

Although he had just had a few drinks, Yu Dameng was already a little drunk, he couldn't tell what the meaning of such an awkward sentence was, and he was still thinking about it with a confused face.

"Stupid!" Qiao Yuan couldn't help laughing, pinched his earlobe with both hands, kissed him on the chin, and led him home.

Yu Dameng remembered this, and when he returned to the yard, he dragged Qiao Yuan into the house.

"What are you doing?" Qiao Yuan still wanted to pack his things.

But Yu Dameng's brute force and Qiao Yuan couldn't hold back, Qiao Yuan followed him back to the room angrily, and was kissed by him just as he was about to curse.

After kissing for a while, Qiao Yuanhong leaned against the door panel and breathed heavily while his body was soft and his body was red, while Yu Dameng, the culprit, acted as if nothing had happened.

Qiao Yuan leaned up to bite his lower lip resentfully.

Yu Da laughed fiercely and kissed him again.

Chase, attack.
