Chu Pinggui thought about it for a long time after returning home, and finally decided to ask the clan leader Chu Pinglin and several clan elders to come forward next time to persuade Chu Shouli.
As for Old Chen, it is impossible for her to follow him anymore.
It's a thing that doesn't succeed enough but only fails. It only brings bad things to him. He will never let her come forward if something happens in the future.
Before, after Chu Pinglin learned that Chu Shouli had severed ties with his family, he had advised Chu Pinggui to bring back his only son who could make money, but at that time he was still putting on airs and waiting for Chu Shouli to come back on his own initiative, so he took no action.
Chu Pinglin was a little unhappy about this, feeling that he couldn't carry it clearly, but because it was in the way of Chu Dalang, he couldn't talk too hastily, so he let it go for the time being.
Now Chu Pinggui took the initiative to come to the door and asked him to come forward on behalf of the clan to persuade Chu Shouli, and he agreed without saying a word.
Several other clan elders also agreed wholeheartedly, very happily.
What a joke, if you have the opportunity to take a carriage ride around the county town, only a fool with such a good deed would refuse it.
Seeing that everyone was selling their face in such a way, Chu Pinggui felt very happy and felt that it was all the credit of his grandson. After returning, he generously gave Chu Dalang five taels of silver, saying that it was the expense of the autumn examination.
Although Chu Dalang was surprised, he received it generously.
When Chu Shouxin found out about this, he was jealous and wanted to do something bad and secretly took away the money. Unfortunately, Chu Dalang was on guard, so he couldn't succeed, so he tried again on Gongzhong's money, but was arrested.
Old Chen was caught and almost beaten to death.
He didn't want to work in the first place, but now he had an excuse, so he just stayed in bed and stopped working, saying he wanted to recuperate from his injuries.
Seeing that he was cheating, Chu Shouyi, Chu Shouzhi and Chu Erlang stopped working.
In the past, Chu Shouli took the main job at home, and they would only do some hand-in-hand work. They would only make great efforts when harvesting and planting crops.
But now that Chu Shouli was separated, Chu Shouren took advantage of the fact that he was a scholar and completely let go of his hands. No matter whether it was in the field or at home, he did not touch any work and handed over everything to their third room. However, now he is not even a thief.
The cunning and cunning Chu Shouxin stopped doing it, and the work in the fields directly became the two of them. It was strange that Chu Shouyi and Chu Shouzhi were willing.
Chu Pinggui had no choice but to personally drag Chu Shouxin, who was pretending to be ill, and Chu Shouren, who was pampered, to the ground, and then personally supervise their work.
Therefore, I did not take time to go to the county seat.
It happened that Mrs. Fang organized people to fight the drought, fetching water and digging wells. Chu Pinglin and others were also very busy, so they didn't mention it.
The crops are almost dying of thirst, who has time to think about having fun?
It is said that on March 3, the Chu family's kites were very popular and all were sold. Qu Shuchun was happy for Chu Shouli, but also worried about himself.
Not for anything else, just because he is about to lose his job.
There are not many people playing with kites on weekdays. Even if the Chu family continues to do this business, there is no need for him. He is not very busy, so why should he get an extra salary for nothing.
Just when Qu Shuchun was hesitating whether to take the initiative to say goodbye so as to save Chu Shouli from being embarrassed, Chu Ning suddenly announced that he would start a wine business with the Fang family.
She also asked him and Chu Shouli to learn how to make fruit wine immediately with her, so as not to delay the business.
Faced with this sudden news, Qu Shuchun was stunned at first and couldn't believe it, and then he was overjoyed. He had something to do again. It was great!
Just like that, Qu Shuchun continued to stay in the Chu family and help Chu Shouli with things.
Not only was he diligent, but he also had an eye for work, and he didn't pick any work. As long as it was within his ability, he would do anything. Menial tasks such as carrying water, chopping firewood, and sweeping the yard were basically all done by him, and Chu Jing couldn't even compete with him.
And there was no delay in serious matters. I followed Chu Ning's requirements meticulously, washing the jars, ironing the jars, washing the fruits, and drying the fruits. I was very patient and meticulous in everything I did, and I never made any mistakes.
And he was very careful to avoid suspicion. Every time Chu Shouli started to make fruit wine, he would find an excuse to avoid it and never looked at it. Even if Chu Shouli took the initiative to teach him, he would not learn it. The truth is that this kind of secret recipe must be passed down from generation to generation. As an outsider,
How could he get involved?
Originally, Chu Ning didn't care about this. It was just some fruit wine, and it wasn't anything special. He just wanted to learn it. Once he mastered this craft, he would be able to start a small business on his own in the future, so he wouldn't have to live a tight life anymore.
In the end, she didn't expect him to be so disciplined. She was surprised and recognized this person more and more.
Not to mention Chu Shouli, he himself is diligent and likes diligent people, and with Qu Shuchun’s character, he likes them even more.
This time the kite made a lot of money, and he was not stingy. He directly gave Qu Shuchun ten taels of silver as a reward for him, and then raised his salary from twenty cash a day to fifty cash a day.
That's not all, he also asked Mrs. Qin to make several new sets of clothes for Qu Shuchun to wear in rotation, and tidied up his house.
Originally, he thought that he would only live temporarily and did not buy any furniture. Chu Ning said that the wine business would be a long-term business, so he bought Qu Shuchun a wardrobe, desk and other things, and arranged them very carefully.
Qu Shuchun was extremely moved.
Then I worked harder.
I don’t know what’s going on with the weather this year. I just took off my coat a while ago, and now I have to put on my summer clothes. It’s still March, it’s already like the dog days of summer, it’s unbearably hot.
Due to the weather, Sweetheart Time's new ice drinks, ice bowls, ice milk tea, ice cheese and other iced foods are selling like hotcakes, with demand exceeding supply every day.
The servants from wealthy families also came earlier and earlier every day, and some even waited outside the store before dawn.
There is no way, their food is too popular, if you come late, they may be sold out. If you don't come earlier and queue up, the master will lose his temper if he can't eat it.
Chu Ning went to the store twice during the holidays. When he saw that shopkeeper Miao arranged things in an orderly manner and made no mistakes no matter how busy he was, he felt relieved and never went there again.
It was really too hot today, and her head was covered with sweat even if she moved even a little bit, so she was too lazy to bother.
After finally resting, of course I had to lie on the kang and have a good sleep all day long, instead of going out to be exposed to the sun.
At the end of the month, Mrs. Qin was still busy weaving, and sisters Chu Jing, Chu Tian and Chu Ran were still busy making their silk flowers. Chu Shouli took Qu Shuchun to the countryside to collect fruits and was not at home.
In short, the whole family is busy, and Chu Ning is the only one sleeping in the east wing.
When Fang Shengyu came to find her, she had just woken up from the heat and was blowing her fan irritably, thinking about making an ice basin at home.
"What did you say? King Kang rebelled?"
After hearing the news brought by Fang Shengyu, Chu Ning was so anxious that he stopped fanning and slapped the fan on the table. He leaned forward, leaned out most of his body, and asked Fang Shengyu face to face.
He said, "When did it happen? Also, where is King Kang's fiefdom? Is it far from our place?"
Fang Shengyu was extremely hot all the way here. The folding fan in his hand was shaking loudly, but he still couldn't stop sweating. "Why don't you put an ice basin? You don't have to buy it. Just make a few yourself. What can you do with this saving? Be careful.
If you get hit by the heat again, the gains will outweigh the losses..."
"Ah, let's not talk about this for now. Let me ask you where King Kang is from. Is he far away from us?"
