Chapter 100: Late
After a while of joking, the two of them ate breakfast. This breakfast was carefully prepared by Zheng Qing and tasted good. They snuggled together to eat, no one disturbed them, and they kept telling jokes from time to time, making fun of each other, and they were filled with joy.
After having breakfast, the two of them snuggled together and looked at the sky and said some love words. Chen Wanrong was happy and even forgot about the fact that he still had to do alcohol today. For Chen Wanrong now, not to mention the things the Ministry of War wants, even if Ruizong wants goods for a limited time, he will not take it seriously. Sharing sweet time with his sweetheart is the most important thing.
Zheng Qing leaned her head on Chen Wanrong's shoulder, shook it gently, very leisurely, looking at the sky, and asked leisurely: "Honey, how are you going to tell your parents?"
The two have officially established a relationship and have to let Zheng Jianqiu and his wife know that this is a big problem and Zheng Qing must not ignore it.
Chen Wanrong hugged her slender waist and smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll tell you myself, I'll say I want to marry you."
Although these words are joyful, they are a little shy, and even more shocking. Zheng Qing blushed, stared at Chen Wanrong and said angrily: "Honey, how can this happen?"
The social atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was quite open. Many women lived a free life for their children, were unwilling to get married, and became monks, using monks as a cover to live a life of free choice of companions. However, in terms of marriage, the Tang people taught the ancient system of "Six Rites" and had their own set of etiquette.
The six rituals refer to the six affairs of Nacai, asking for names, Naji, Nazheng, asking for dates, and welcoming the six affairs of Nacai.
Nacai means that the man asks a matchmaker to come to propose marriage. If the woman is interested, he will formally bring a gift to propose marriage. Nacai means that the man asks the woman’s name and date of birth. Nacai means that the man is divining good or bad luck in the ancestral temple. If he gets lucky, he will notify the woman and give him a gift to engage in. Nacai means that the man sends a betrothal gift to the woman and formally establishes a marriage relationship, which is equivalent to the current engagement. The request period is equivalent to discussing the marriage date now. Generally, you have to find a "yellow auspicious day" to make it easier to marry. The bride is to welcome the groom to marry the bride himself.
No matter what happens, it is impossible to leave a matchmaker. The matchmaker should propose marriage. Chen Wanrong's words are a bit shocking, and Zheng Qing cannot help but be surprised. It is not that the Tang Dynasty did not choose a marriage independently, but there are only very few people who can have such courage.
What's so fuss about this? In modern society, except for the countryside and rural areas, who is still asking a matchmaker to propose marriage in the city? Chen Wanrong didn't care at all and said, "I told my father-in-law and mother-in-law that I want to marry you. Isn't that good?"
Before his reputation was officially established, Chen Wanrong was calling his father-in-law and mother-in-law. His face was not as thick as he was. Zheng Qing never expected that Chen Wanrong, a person who knew etiquette, was so advanced. He stared at Chen Wanrong and couldn't stop smiling.
Chen Wanrong held Zheng Qing in his arms and said in close proximity: "Don't you want it? If you don't want it, I won't go."
"I didn't say I didn't want to!" Zheng Qing hurriedly surrendered and said angrily: "It's just that."
Seeing that she had been teasing her enough, Chen Wanrong said, "I want to go and explain it first, and then find a matchmaker, and do what you should do."
This idea is good, Zheng Qing can accept it, and she smiled and nodded, "My husband, you are still considerate."
"Do you like it?" Chen Wanrong held Zheng Qing's cheek and started teasing.
Zheng Qing was already very happy, but she just wanted to say it in person, which was too difficult to speak. She pursed her lips tightly and refused to speak. Chen Wanrong insisted on letting her say it out, her face darkened, and she pretended to be very angry: "If you don't say it, I'm going to be angry."
Nodded, hurriedly buried his head in Chen Wanrong's arms, Zheng Qing was so ashamed. Looking at Yiren's shame, Chen Wanrong was very happy and smiled maliciously: "You are willing to do it yourself, don't blame your husband." He raised Zheng Qingxiangyi and pecked at her cherry lips.
Zheng Qing raised her head to cater to her, and inadvertently saw that the sun was noon, she was shocked, and hurriedly pushed Chen Wanrong and jumped up: "My husband, go back quickly, it's getting late, you have something urgent to do today."
"There is no urgent matter." Chen Wanrong didn't take it seriously, thinking that he was even more anxious about being intimate with Zheng Qing. He looked up and said that if he didn't go back, he would be paid for lunch. So many people were waiting for me to go back to make alcohol, but I was so unreasonable to talk about it with Zheng Qing here, so I had to put away my joking heart and pack up my things and go home.
After getting off the mountain bag and finding the horse, the two of them rode together and rushed towards the house.
Seeing the old house from afar, Zheng Qing's heart was pounding and she was very uneasy. She asked, "My husband, what do you say if someone asks me?" Someone must have asked, if you can't find a good account, you will be exposed. Wouldn't that be so embarrassed?
When encountering such a thing, men's cheekiness will always be played out, so Chen Wanrong doesn't take it seriously: "I just said I'll entangle a beautiful fairy."
"Go, you're not serious!" Zheng Qing scolded her lightly. She was happy and shy, and was particularly charming.
As he was about to speak, he came to the door and saw Chen Laoshi and his wife standing at the door looking around, looking anxious. As soon as he saw Chen Wanrong's face, Chen Laoshi's impatient temperament showed up and asked in a scattered manner: "Wanrong, where have you been? So many people are waiting for you, but there are no people in most of the day, are there still things to do?"
Today, this matter is indeed a bit big. Dozens of people were waiting, but Chen Wanrong ran to enjoy the gentleness and beauty. It was unreasonable no matter what. When Zheng Qing heard this, she wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into it.
Chen Laoshi was so angry that he had a long list of complaints. He couldn't stop talking as soon as he opened the conversation. He was still talking, but he interrupted Chen Wangshi by touching his elbow. Chen Laoshi said angrily: "Woman, please don't care..."
Before he could say the following words, he blocked Chen Wangshi: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute. Can you care where Wanrong is going? Wanrong is busy with this family. If you don't say it at that time, you will know that you will be your father. If Wanrong is not here, you will not help you do it, and you will complain."
In fact, Chen Wang also had a lot of complaints, but she was careful. When she saw that the relationship between Chen Wanrong and Zheng Qing was different from the past, she realized that the two must have hid in a place where no one was so tired that they forgot the time. She was a person who had experienced it, so she naturally knew the taste of love. Young people knew the taste of the law of eating the marrow and it was difficult to give up. This is normal.
Although Chen Laoshi was not convinced, what Chen Wangshi said made sense. If Chen Laoshi was capable, he could have taken over the family. Now, everything is on Chen Wanrong's shoulders. Once he has something to do, it will be difficult to operate. Chen Laoshi couldn't refute it at once and was stunned on the spot.
"Wanrong, have you eaten? Keep the meal for you. After eating, go to the winery, they are all waiting for you." Chen Wangshi cleverly changed the topic.
If Zheng Qing didn't change the topic, she would definitely be embarrassed and smiled at Chen Wangshi very gratefully.
Chen Wanrong jumped off the horse and helped Zheng Qing off the horse. He didn't take Chen Zhen's complaint at all. He smiled and said, "Dad, what's the big fuss about this? Isn't it late? Look at what you're anxious about, how is the wooden barrel doing?"
Chen Laoshi even dreamed that Chen Wanrong's first words were to make trouble for himself. He was stunned and stammered: "What are you doing?"
"Then what are you looking at here? It's a job to add an axe, which is better than emptying here. If you make a wooden barrel, you have to make a wooden box, and you can't stop soap." Chen Wanrong was so obedient when he got the advantage and scolded him again.
Chen Laoshi originally wanted to scold Chen Wanrong, but he didn't expect to scold Chen Wanrong instead. After thinking about it carefully, what Chen Wanrong said made sense, and then said, "Then I will do it now." Without waiting for Chen Wanrong to speak, he left quickly.
As long as Chen Laoshi didn't talk nonsense here, the atmosphere would be the same. Chen Wangshi smiled and grabbed Zheng Qing's hand, and was intimate: "Miss Zheng, go and have a rest. Wanrong, look at where you went, making Miss Zheng tired." He pulled Zheng Qing into the yard and was busy fetching water to clean Zheng Qing's face.
After riding for a long time, he was really tired and sweating a lot. Zheng Qing took the hot water and washed her face, then fed a basin of hot water and handed it to Chen Wanrong. Chen Wanrong washed her face, and Zheng Qing was busy doing things next to her, and she was closer to her than before.
Chen Wang saw it and knew that something must have happened, so he sent Zheng Qing away: "Miss Zheng, please help me pick up the food." Zheng Qing knew that Chen Wang wanted to send her away, but she had already pointed out her words, but she could not refuse, so she had to respond and go to the kitchen.
He grabbed Chen Wanrong and came to the room. Chen Wang closed the door and asked with a smile: "Wanrong, have you agreed?"
Chen Wanrong pretended to be confused and asked back: "Mom, what did you say? I want to lend someone to me. Don't worry, there will be no problem."
The smile on Chen Wangshi's face suddenly disappeared, her face darkened, and she scolded: "Wanrong, please give me some carelessness. I'll ask you about your relationship with Miss Zheng."
Chen Wanrong showed good moral character of not getting enough oil and salt: "Mom, I am fine with her, what are you asking?"
Chen Wangshi really wanted to take out the answer from Chen Wanrong's mouth and gave Chen Wanrong a blank look: "Mom is asking you about your marriage with Miss Zheng, do she agree?"
Chen Wanrong opened the door and said, "Mom, there are so many things to do today, I'm going to do it."
"You only know how much is going on now?" Chen Wang complained dissatisfiedly, pulling Chen Wanrong's clothes on the corner: "If you don't give your mother a letter, you won't let you go. If you don't do things, don't do them."
When Chen Wanrong saw her with a firm face, he was definitely not joking: "Mom, just wait to be a parent-in-law."
"Okay, okay!" Chen Wangshi smiled so much that her mouth could not be closed, and her eye lines disappeared. She let go of Chen Wanrong and pounded Chen Wanrong's shoulder: "This Wanrong is still with her mother, and she is in such a big circle!"
As soon as Chen Wanrong left the house, he caught Zheng Qing, pulled Chen Wanrong's clothes and asked, "Brother Chen, what have you and aunt said?"
"What are you calling me?" Chen Wanrong asked in a low voice.
Zheng Qing looked around and lowered her voice and replied: "Isn't there anyone here?"
Just because she didn't forget to call her husband, Chen Wanrong was satisfied and muttered a few words in Zheng Qing's ear. Zheng Qing smiled so brightly, and her shoulders kept trembling. She followed Chen Wanrong to the winery.
After leaving home, Zheng Qing looked around and saw that there was no one, and asked with some worries: "My husband, what would you say if your parents ask?" Chen and Lao Shi were interrogating so hard that Zheng Jianqiu and his wife would come here, and they had to deal with it.
"Isn't that right? I'm worried that I won't have the chance to tell them. I just said that my father-in-law and mother-in-law, I want to marry your daughter as my daughter-in-law." Chen Wanrong had a long face.
Zheng Qing couldn't stand it, so she raised her pink fist high and started to blame her: "Beat you, bad guy!"
Chen Wanrong ran away, Zheng Qing held up with her fists and laughed while chasing. The two of them rushed to the winery with laughter.
As it turned out that Zheng Qing's worries were unnecessary, and Zheng Jianqiu and his wife didn't ask at all. When they arrived at the winery, they saw that the winery was very lively, with the winery's servants and the servants of the Zheng family busy and enjoying themselves.
What Chen Wanrong didn't expect most was that Zheng Jianqiu and his wife and Zheng Wanru were wearing coarse cloth and were busy with work like servants. No matter how rough or dirty they were, they could get it.
This really made me lose my eyes. Chen Wanrong pointed at Zheng Jianqiu and said, "Qing, my father-in-law's outfit is no different from that of a farmer. I really couldn't imagine it."
"Don't shout!" Zheng Qing couldn't stand it when she heard him call out, so she scolded her father-in-law and then explained: "What's the matter? Didn't our family do farm work before? It's just that they're doing less now."
Zheng Jianqiu and his wife were really good to them. Chen Wanrong put away his jokes and went up to see him and said, "I have met my uncle and my aunt."
Zheng Zhou smiled and said, "Nephew, don't be dependent on these common etiquettes, go and do your job."
"Uncle, aunt, you don't have to do this job, just look around and see it." Chen Wanrong suggested.
Zheng Jianqiu smiled and said, "Nephew, you don't have to worry about us. I haven't done this heavy work for a long time. I feel very comfortable after doing it for a while. I'm having a fever."
I feel very comfortable not doing heavy work after a long time, and it will be very painful when this comfortable energy passes. At least there is no problem for the time being, Chen Wanrong had to say, "Uncle, you have to be careful, do what you can do, and don't do what you can't do."
"You can pay attention to it, you can pay attention to it!" Zheng Jianqiu and his wife answered in unison.
Sun Zhengping wiped his sweat and came over and said, "I have met the boss. The boss, see, are there any unsatisfactory things?" He lowered his voice and said, "We can't wait for the boss. Mr. Zheng said that you have something to do and we don't have to wait, so I asked Master Xiao to watch it and do it first according to the method you did last time. Master, you have to go and see if there is anything wrong."
Zheng Jianqiu is still knowledgeable! Chen Wanrong is not there, and Chen Hushi and his wife have no practical measures except to wait at the door to look around. Zheng Jianqiu is different. He is so lucky to be able to command so many people in an orderly manner.
"Okay, you're busy first, I'll check it out." Chen Wanrong said, checking in four miles.
The process of distilled liquor is actually not complicated. Although it has only been done once, Xiao Zhizhong has mastered it almost well. There is nothing wrong with it. Chen Wanrong is very satisfied.
Zheng Qing and Qing'e were whispering, fighting from time to time, and were extremely happy. Chen Wanrong didn't go to get a bunch of them, and followed everyone to work. After lunch, Yuan Tiancheng brought the wine jar. Chen Wanrong saw it, it was very good and very satisfied. He talked to Yuan Tiancheng for a while, sent him away, and devoted himself to the alcohol work.
The five-tub stove started working together, which was much more efficient. Although it only took one morning, a lot of distilled liquor was still made. Now the metered liquor tank has also come, so it should be made and matched.
Chen Wanrong asked someone to clean up the house with alcohol. When he returned to the old house and went to the carpentry room, he saw that he had made more than ten wooden barrels. The wooden barrels were well made, light and sturdy, and had handles, making it more convenient to carry them.
He asked someone to move to the cart, Chen Wanrong drove the ox cart to the winery. When he arrived at the winery, he lowered the wooden barrel, tied Xiao Hei and threw some grass.
A pot was ready and cleaned up. Xiao Zhizhong was preparing to charge the ingredients, and Chen Wanrong asked him to stop. Clean the pot, pour in the distilled liquor, and start to strengthen it.
After the matter of Ti Nong was on track, Chen Wanrong went to the well to clean the wooden barrel. Zheng Qing came to help, and the two started the world of both working and warm.
It’s a pity that there is only such a little wooden barrel, and it’s not a problem to clean it, and it’s done soon. Zheng Qing was still unsatisfied and looked around, looking for something to do, but things went against her wishes. There was nothing suitable for the two of them, so she had to give up.
After a while, the house with alcohol was also sorted out, clean the wine jar, and carry it to the house to lay it flat. This is for measurement, so naturally it cannot be uneven, so it must be placed in a level.
After two thickening times, the alcohol that meets the requirements was about 200 kilograms, and the guys brought them over without waiting for Chen Wanrong's instructions.
Chen Wanrong found a clean stick and then a thread. He tied a thin thread to the wooden stick. Xiao Zhizhong was confused and asked, "Boss, what is this?"
It was normal for him not to tie the thread to the stick last time he measured it. Chen Wanrong's answer made him even more confused: "Today use a new method to match it."
