118. Talk to Master Chen directly
When Uncle Chen went home in the evening, Aunt Chen told Uncle Chen about the third girl's resignation. Uncle Chen waved his hand, "I have heard of it in the shop. Our county has such a big slap, and there is something new about it. I heard that it was because of some horoscopes that are incompatible, and I didn't understand it very well. Could it be that I had never met the eight characters before the engagement?"
Aunt Chen raised her eyebrows and said, "It's so strange in the world. It's said that the three girls are both obsessed with the big grandma's horoscope! "
Uncle Chen curled his mouth and took the tea he brought to him, "Nothing is said. It's not the first day of engagement, why didn't he defeat his mother-in-law? He was born to his family and got a big business and defeated his mother-in-law."
Aunt Chen asked hurriedly, "Is his family really a big business?"
"Yes, I don't know who brought his family a clue to the army, but I got a lot of business." Uncle Chen said lightly, "If you don't say anything else, He Nian wants to make a comeback."
Aunt Chen asked, "You said, will his family withdrawal from marriage be related to this?"
Uncle Chen said leisurely, "Who knows this? It's not a matter of the eight characters anyway, so stupid women can believe the words of the eight characters."
Aunt Chen stared at her husband's old face and said, "I'm still worried that you're doing it."
Uncle Chen glanced at his wife and said, "Yes, there is nothing in your heart that is worse than me." He put on the teacup and left in a panic.
Aunt Chen called her eldest son to inquire about He Nian's resignation. When the eldest son told her father privately, Aunt Chen laughed, "Just fool your mother."
Chen Dalang said, "Then should we go and propose marriage to my aunt?"
Uncle Chen smiled with three or five sparse beards on his chin and said, "Although your aunt and your mother are stupid, they are not stupid. If we want to propose marriage in such a hurry, their sister-in-law must be suspicious. You should stare at Azhi to maintain a good body, and nothing else is mentioned. It will not be too late to say when Azhi's body is better."
Chen Dalang said, "What if the third girl decides to be the other person again?"
"She has no father or mother, so it's not unreasonable to say that her horoscope is tougher. Besides, people would rather believe in the existence of the horoscope than the absence of it. After resigning from her marriage, she couldn't settle down for a while." Uncle Chen had his own opinion and said, "Even if he calmed down, he should not interact with He Nian anymore. In the future, he would rely on his own ability."
Uncle Chen urged, "Remember, don't mention the matter of telling the marriage to the third girl, and I won't mention it either. This matter is the most urgent. When Azhi is anxious, women will be anxious. It is best for women to do it."
Chen Dalang all responded.
The father and son discussed and planned the matter more and more, and then they went to rest.
The Chen family’s father and son’s plan really means that the heaven and earth know each other is the knowledge of their father and son.
Anyway, the He family doesn't know.
However, since the marriage was retired, the He family returned to normal, in addition to the time when Mr. He talked and scolded Wang from time to time. The third girl definitely did not have any ordinary girl who was retired and searched for death after she was retired, and she still went to embroider and flirted with work. However, since Mr. He and Mrs. He Zijin beat the third wife and fifth aunt, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the third girl met He Qi a little embarrassed.
However, Chen Zhi was able to move freely and knew that the third girl had left the marriage, so he came to the He family every now and then. Even if the third girl didn't see him, he would rather go and talk about books with He Gong and talk about learning than leave.
Grandma Chen really couldn't stand her son's infatuation, so she discussed with her mother-in-law repeatedly and wanted to go to the He family to propose marriage. Grandma Chen was prepared and said to her, "Mom, I don't think that the third girl is a little cold and has no choice. If there is a way, who wouldn't be born in a wealthy family? I like the third girl to be capable, wise, and a serious girl. I asked Azhi's father, but he had no objection, so he told me to listen to her mother." God knows how long it took for Grandma Chen to practice these words to Aunt Chen with a sincere expression. Moreover, she did not learn from others, nor did she think about it. She summarized the son's description of the third girl's virtues. Now that the son is finally getting better, Grandma Chen doesn't care about any other person, so she just thought about fulfilling her son's wish.
She really didn't want to bother about this matter, and she accepted her fate.
After hearing Grandma Chen say this, Aunt Chen was not moved, but was silent for a long time and said, "It's not that I'm not happy, Azhi's infatuation, can I not understand? The third girl did leave, but do you think, are they willing?" Especially Aunt Chen thought about it carefully, Grandma Chen always felt that the third girl was not worthy of her son. Aunt Chen was a little longer than the eldest daughter-in-law's background. Everyone knows the third girl's background, but this girl is inferior to her background, who is motivated and capable, and just these three points, Aunt Chen is happy. Especially when Grandma Chen is becoming more confused, a smart and wise eldest granddaughter-in-law, even if she doesn't have a background, Aunt Chen is happy. What's more, Chen Zhi likes the third girl so much. The third girl is not a fool. If she can lead Azhi to make progress, Aunt Chen will be in a perfect marriage.
However, the third girl looks like she doesn’t seem to be interested in Chen Zhi. This is also the reason why Aunt Chen has been hesitating and not speaking to Mrs. He. The Chen family is rich, but not everyone in the world loves money. In life, it’s impossible to have no money, but money can’t represent everything. There are always a few exceptions in the world.
When Grandma Chen heard what her mother-in-law said, Grandma Chen's eyes widened and her voice was high, like a mother strangled, screaming, "A family like us, we will be young grandmas when we enter the door, and enjoy endless wealth and glory. How can she not be happy?"
Aunt Chen felt that she had no common words with her eldest daughter-in-law. She waved her hand and said, "Well, I have no objection, you can ask yourself. As long as they are happy, I am happy."
Grandma Chen was unique and after dressing up a wealthy atmosphere, she went to the He family in a carriage made of gold-clad silver-encrusted carved carved jewel curtains.
Speaking of the futian, the weather was very hot and I felt that I had no appetite for lunch. He Zijin would cook a pot of black plum soup every time he got up early, dry it cooled down and put it in the well water to calm down. When it was hot in the afternoon, it would relieve heat and make it more appetizing. He also loved this sour plum soup very much and said to Shen, "Don't you sell sesame cakes in your shop? It would be better to make some sour plum soup for sale, so that someone would like it."
Shen smiled, "My mother and I thought of going to the same place. Ashan's wife is a person who can't rest. She doesn't ask her to beat her pancakes in the hot weather. She is happy to get up early in the morning to beat a few."
Mrs. He said, "This family is diligent."
Shen laughed, "Yes."
He Zijin held half a bowl of thick and fragrant black plum soup, stretched out his small neck and emphasized, "I have a secret recipe, has no one given the money for the secret recipe?"
Mrs. He glanced at her eyes, "You can eat and drink at home to raise you to grow up so white and tender. You are all from home, and you also need a lot of secret recipes. You are crazy about money!"
He Zijin laughed, "I want it and share it evenly with my grandmother."
Old Madam He almost bit her tongue and emphasized that she was as noble as the white snow in the Tianshan Mountains, "I don't care about your money!"
The family was drinking sour plum soup happily, and Grandma Chen came to the door. He Zijin also poured a bowl for Grandma Chen. Grandma Chen took a few sips and praised, "This taste is so good, it's quenching thirst and salivating."
The third girl hid when she saw Grandma Chen, and He Zijin also found a way to send sour plum soup to the study and avoided it. Grandma Chen is really a strange person. Since the third girl retired from the wedding, Chen Zhi just came from time to time. After several times, Chen Zhi was so obsessed that Chen Zhi was so obsessed that he could not kill him. Chen Zhi was always upset enough to come, and Grandma Chen also wanted to join in the fun from time to time. She also had a good advantage, and she was thick-skinned. Regardless of whether Mrs. He had a bad face or not, she just kept coming over and said flatteringly.
Now Grandma Chen is here again, He Zijin hurried to find peace and quiet.
Grandma Chen saw the idle people avoiding her retreat, flattered Mrs. He's good complexion and said that she wanted to ask her to marry the third girl for her eldest son. When Mrs. Shen heard this, she was not very willing to sit in the room. Mrs. He said, "Go and see, Gong'er has no big lunch. You may be hungry now, so she can get some food and take it over, read the book for half a day, and take a break."
Shen then went out. Mrs. He said to Grandma Chen, "Even if you don't come, I will talk to you about this. When Azhi is old, he should be at ease with the imperial examinations in the future. He study at home more often, and don't be distracted. What you said is that you will always be able to get married. The third girl said that she is capable, but her parents died, and the dowry is limited. I just want to find a small family for her to marry. Azhi is a scholar, so how can she deserve it?" Seeing Grandma Chen's words to speak again, Mrs. He decided to go to the state of affairs, "I have asked the third girl a long time ago, and she doesn't want to go to the top."
For Grandma Chen who is full of confidence, it is really not enough to describe the shock caused by Mrs. He's refusal to marry: it was actually true! The girl who defeated her father and mother was really unhappy!
Because the refusal of marriage brought great trauma to Grandma Chen's confident and conceited heart, Grandma Chen didn't know how to go home. She sat in her room for half a day until Chen Daniu came to see her mother and asked, "Mom, aren't you going to propose a marriage? How about it? Did the third girl agree?"
Grandma Chen came back to her senses, clenched her fists tightly, and her nails were trapped in the flesh to calm her humiliation. Grandma Chen's forehead was leaping with blue veins, her expression was ferocious, she gritted her teeth, and said hatefully, "That stinky girl who is ungrateful!" She actually didn't want her son!
No matter how much Grandma Chen hates her, she is just a little hatred in her heart. Aunt Chen sighed and said, "The third girl is strange." Unlike Grandma Chen, Aunt Chen is a person with means.
So, another Li Guiyuan, who was learning craftsmanship with Xue Qianzhen, came to talk to the third girl from time to time, or do needlework and other things. Li Guiyuan is very active and likes to talk. She is clever and clever, and is also good at flattering Mrs. He often brings some good fruit snacks to honor Mrs. He. Mrs. He is polite and happy.
Li Guiyuan was also an engaged person. When she was doing needlework with the third girl in private, she said in a slight voice, "It's not a blessing to lose her husband. I think you are lucky."
The third girl slowly embroidered the embroidered face of Butterfly Love Flower and said, "How do you say this?"
"I heard that the eldest grandson of the Chen Caizhu family is the one who became a scholar at the age of nineteen. "Li Guiyuan looked extremely intimate with the third girl, as if she was talking about the little secret between her close friends, and sighed, "You are so lucky, third sister! Really, we are doing embroidery work, others don't know, don't we know it yet? She lowered her head all day long, her neck was sore, and she was thirty-year-old, and many embroidered ladies had broken eyes in their early thirties and forties... We have three sisters, and I and Sister Qi are not as good as you. You are the ones with great blessings."
"Yeah?"
"Yes, everyone who knows it envys you so much."
"The big grandmother of the Chen family came to mention the marriage, I don't want to."
"Why is this? Are you crazy?" Li Guiyuan was slightly excited.
"How can you believe this kind of infatuation with a young man? It comes quickly and goes quickly. He doesn't necessarily like me, but he is just obsessed with 'no seeking'."
"You're thinking too much. Chen Xiucai is not the kind of person who faces east and west today."
"How do you know it's not?"
"Of course, he is not a scholar. Such talented people have a good family background. In the future, if you are a juren and a Jinshi, you will be the one who is the magistrate and serve as a magistrate, you will be the wife of Guan'er. Third sister, you are enjoying the imperial decree."
Li Guiyuan comes from time to time, and when she is doing needlework with the third girl in private, she will always talk about Chen Zhi's infatuation inadvertently.
He Zijin was busy teaching Zhang to cook black plum soup. He Zijin first gave her a bowl of sour plum soup from Jingli Town. Seeing the sour plum soup is thick and fragrant, Zhang said, "Every year, there are sour plum soup on the streets. The big girl cooked it, and it is not mixed with water at first sight. The thick one can be hung on the bowl." Zhang had no knowledge, had never eaten it, and had not seen it. He drank half a bowl in one breath, thinking that it was the best sour plum soup I have ever drunk in this life. She said, "It must be that it is delicious, so it must be enough to use the ingredients. How much does it cost to sell for a bowl."
He Zijin said, "Let's do it again and again." If you use enough materials, it will naturally be more expensive.
He Zijin taught Zhang to cook sour plum soup. She is indeed very talented in the cooking industry. This talent can be seen in her previous life. She can cook whatever dish she has eaten a few times and then searched for a recipe. The same is true for cooking sour plum soup. People have been cooking this thing for thousands of years, but it is still good and poor.
He Zijin is a delicate person. The black plums she picked were the best products from Ping'antang. In addition, hawthorn, licorice, osmanthus, rock candy, and what kind of quality you should choose from. What kind of pot, what kind of fire, and what kind of water you use have a source. Zhang is a smart person, but he can't remember it for a while. He Zijin said, "I have written the prescription, and you will take it with me later. If you forget it, you will know it after asking Brother Shan to recite it. If you don't understand anything, it will be convenient for me to ask me. We are not far away."
Zhang smiled, "The big girl is still thoughtful." He thought to himself that those who have studied are smart. Seeing that the big girl is so young, she can make these delicious foods.
Zhang first looked at He Zijin and cooked a pot. Zhang said, "The big girl watched me make it, and I will cook a pot too."
On this day, the two of them tinkered with the sour plum soup. Because they cooked too much, Zhang even brought a jar back. Shen sent Cui'er to the clan leader's house to send a jar. The rest of the rest were placed in the well of his own house and slowly drank it.
Then, how to set the price and how to sell sour plum soup, Shen also called the third girl when discussing with Chen Shan, and He Zijin listened on the side. He Zijin proposed that the real food is enough to sell expensive goods. Chen Shan felt that there can be divided into two types, one is mixed with water and one is not mixed with water, and one is a noble price and one is market price. After setting the price, He Zijin finally had the opportunity to show her wisdom of a time traveler and said, "There is no cash collection for the first three days, and he sells fifty bowls a day. If you ask someone to taste it, you will know the taste, and someone will naturally come later."
The next day, Mrs. He heard about this and said, "What a fool!" She gave her free drinks, but the soup is not enough or the ingredients are not enough. Even the water used to cook sour plum soup is the spring water that Xiao Fuzi and Chen Shan took back to Furong Temple early in the morning, not to mention the picky habit of the girl's movies. She had to buy the best of everything. Mrs. He said, "It's not your own drink, it's sold to others. It's okay if it's a good thing."
He Zijin said, "Grandmother, you will never make money in your life if you are like this."
Since this statement involves maliciously cursing Mrs. He's fortune, He Zijin is scolded.
The grandparents and grandchildren were in a hurry. Wang came crying and asked He Hanke that he had been there. Old Mother He spat, "Your son, who do you ask? Who do you know where he went!"
Wang beat his chest and cried, tears flowing in his eyes, "If I had known this, I would rather die by myself than ask Ahan to withdraw from the marriage."
Mrs. He sneered, "Bah! Don't say this nice thing! You can't bear to leave that wealth! You've left your child alone! Deserve it! Isn't your father able to calculate it? Tell your father to calculate it!" A sarcasm made even worse.
The combat power of Mrs. He scolded people is not comparable to that of ordinary people. She cursed with joy. Wang was fainted and cried in the house of Mrs. He. Mrs. He pulled out a hairpin from his head and brushed it against Wang's people twice, almost killing Wang's body. Mrs. He ordered people to drive Wang out and went out to inquire, and then learned about He Han's escape. Mrs. He disliked Wang at all, so he was so happy that he danced. He drank an extra bowl of soup at night and said happily, "God has indeed retribution, and it is worth the incense I burned in front of the Bodhisattva."
It happened that day Li Guiyuan came again. When she heard Wang's crying, she couldn't help but say, "Is that the mother of the He family's young master?"
The third girl nodded, and Li Guiyuan said again, "I am born with no blessings. Third sister, don't fight with such people. Your blessing is behind you."
The third girl smiled slightly, took off the last stitch for the Butterfly Love Flower embroidery piece, carefully measured the embroidery piece, and said to Li Guiyuan, "Don't come tomorrow."
Li Guiyuan showed a surprised look, and the third girl said, "I will go to talk to Mr. Chen directly."
