The entire village shakes their heads at Zhuang Qingning - an orphaned girl who, after recovering from illness, stubbornly registers as a female household head instead of living with her uncle.
...Chapter 551: Fault
"So I advise Shopkeeper Zhuang not to go recently. If you go, I'm afraid you won't be able to get rid of it."
The more Cheng Ruize spoke, the more bitter the smile on his face became.
The more Zhuang Qingning listened, the more he smiled. "This is really interesting. Manager Cheng's cousin Yan is indeed an interesting girl."
Most women of this era were taught by their families to observe etiquette and abide by the norms of women. Most of them were introverted. It was very rare to find someone like her who could do what she wanted.
From this we can also see that Cheng Ruize's cousin Yan is extremely favored at home, so she is allowed to do as she pleases.
"It's just nonsense." Cheng Ruize said, "It's just that Manager Zhuang has a good temper and is not impatient. I still have to talk to my cousin when I get back."
Isn’t Zhuang Wencheng impatient?
In other words, he probably isn't annoying.
Zhuang Wencheng has a gentle and honest personality, while Cousin Yan mentioned by Cheng Ruize is obviously more lively. It's like cold water meeting charcoal fire. It depends on whether the water will be boiled by the charcoal fire.
If a good relationship could be achieved, maybe it would be a good thing? As for rejecting Zhuang Wencheng, although it was natural to reject him if there was no love between men and women, and it was good for both of them, Zhuang Wencheng was so good that Zhuang Qingning felt an indescribable sense of guilt in his heart.
Therefore, I really hope that Zhuang Wencheng can find his happiness as soon as possible.
So at this time, Zhuang Qingning still had some small expectations for this matter.
Zhuang Qingning smiled and told Cheng Ruize about the mosquito repellent herbal bags.
It was agreed last year that, except for the business in the county town, the rest of the mosquito repellent herbal bags would be sold by the Cheng family. Now it is spring, and the south, especially the Lingnan region, will soon become hot. If the goods are to be delivered before the mosquitoes get infested due to the hot weather there, we have to start preparing now.
Because the supply quantity was large and they also wanted to take into account the villagers' sale of mugwort, Cheng Ruize and Zhuang Qingning discussed and decided to send people to Enjizhuang to collect mugwort. The mosquito repellent formula powder would be provided by Zhuang Qingning on a regular basis according to the proportion and delivered to the county town on a regular basis.
After the discussion was over and seeing that it was getting late, Cheng Ruize and Fang Hou said goodbye and left, driving the carriage back.
The carriage slowly moved towards the county town, and when it arrived at the county town, the sun was already setting.
As they were about to reach Cheng's Pharmacy, Fang Hou slowed down his driving speed. "Master, you said earlier that you had trouble sleeping these past two days and wanted to ask Doctor Zhuang to prescribe some tranquilizers for you. Shall I go get them now?"
"Hmm..." Cheng Ruize nodded, "It just so happens that I'll go talk to the owner of the medicine store about the mosquito repellent herbal bag..."
As Cheng Ruize spoke, he lifted the curtain, looked up and saw Rong Shuangyan jumping into the pharmacy, and suddenly felt a headache.
"You should send me back first, and then come back to get the tranquilizer."
As for the matter of the mosquito repellent herbal bag, it would be better to call the shopkeeper out to talk about it.
This cousin is really a monster.
But to be honest, both families seemed to be interested in the marriage between the cousin and his young master, but his young master had no such intention. Now that the cousin is interested in someone else, his young master has one less worry.
Fang Hou thought about this and felt much more relaxed. He just drove the carriage towards the house.
At this time, Rong Shuangyan was holding a food box and came to Zhuang Wencheng with a smile, "Brother Wencheng, look, I just bought some chestnut cakes, would you like to try some?"
As he spoke, he picked up the chestnut cake and put it into Zhuang Wencheng's mouth.
The girl's voice was crisp, her smile was full of sweetness, and the tender yellow chestnut cake on her tender white fingers was fragrant... It could be said to be a beautiful sight that was pleasing to the eyes.
Zhuang Wencheng's heart skipped a beat. He lowered his head hastily and subconsciously took a half step back before reaching out to take the chestnut cake. "Thank you, Miss Rong."
"Didn't you say you can just call me Yan'er? My parents call me that at home." Rong Shuangyan saw that Zhuang Wencheng was trying to avoid her, but she didn't get angry. The smile on her face didn't fade at all. She just pushed the food box a little bit towards Zhuang Wencheng, "Brother Wencheng, eat more."
"I'm not hungry yet..." Zhuang Wencheng said, "I haven't finished the work at hand yet."
"It's okay, Brother Wencheng, eat the chestnut cake, I'll do the work." Rong Shuangyan took the medicine pestle from Zhuang Wencheng without saying a word, and helped him pound the medicine with great effort.
Seeing this, Zhuang Wencheng had no choice but to stop, eat two pieces of chestnut cake, and then hurried to do other things.
When he had almost finished his work, Rong Shuangyan was still pounding the medicine. She bit her lip and pounded the pestle hard, with even beads of sweat on her forehead.
The fair and tender little face turned a little red due to sweating. The originally baby face now looked more like a ripe apple, which looked very cute.
Zhuang Wencheng couldn't help but smile. ——Beijing , the Imperial Palace.
Chu Shengrui was sitting on the dragon throne with a gloomy face. Chu Yunhe and the Queen were kneeling below, one trembling and the other in tears.
"emperor."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The queen wiped away her tears and said hesitantly, "I am at fault for this matter. It is because I failed to teach my child properly..."
"Of course it's the Queen's fault!"
Chu Shengrui shouted, "The dispute between Wang and Liang is all because the queen is biased, which leads to constant disputes between the main wife and the concubine. As the queen of the central palace, she can't even handle the small matters in the house, which is a disgrace to the royal family!"
This angry shout made the tears in the queen's eyes burst out like a spring.
Originally, she just said that she was wrong, but she never thought that Chu Shengrui actually thought she was wrong.
It is normal for Wang and Liang to have disputes. If anyone is to blame, it is Wang's inability to keep her composure, and Liang is just a bit stubborn. It's all because of the two restless daughters-in-law. What does it have to do with her as the mother-in-law?
But Chu Shengrui believed that it was her fault, which made her feel very aggrieved.
Speaking of which, this kind of thing has happened more than once or twice.
Whenever there were concubines in the palace, if one or two were restless and caused trouble, Chu Shengrui would hold her, the queen, accountable, saying that it was because of her poor teaching.
She couldn't control this person's thoughts. It was those bitches who were causing trouble and doing evil, so why should they blame her? The more the queen thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and tears fell down her face.
"Father, please calm down. This is my fault. Please don't blame my mother." Chu Yunhe kowtowed and said in a trembling voice, "I will manage the affairs of the harem well when I go back and not let you worry about it."
Author's diary: July 14, 2021, weather: cloudy to sunny
The sun is so hot today that my back hurts. The bricks on the construction site are a bit hot, and I can’t hold on any longer…
But when I thought that if I didn't move the bricks, I would be caught and sent back to write, I gritted my teeth and continued to persevere.
