Chapter 205 The last disgusting
When Mother Cui recalled the events that happened when Cui Qingyi returned to Linshui County from Qinghe City, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this eldest girl in their family was quite scheming.
The fact that she was divorced by Chen Linan was probably also the eldest girl's own fault, but it's too late to say anything now.
After returning to her own room, Cui Mama wanted to persuade Yuan Shi again, and after carefully serving her properly, she tentatively said, "Our eldest daughter is now truly capable. She has even received praise from the Empress Dowager herself and has also been seen by the mistress of the main house.
Madam, if the eldest daughter comes tomorrow, you should be more gentle with her. She seems to be a person who is not easily offended by force. If you treat her well, she will remember you in the future."
It would have been fine if Mother Cui didn't mention it, but she got angry when she mentioned Yuan. This damn girl broke off relations with her family without telling her, and ran here to open a girls' school and a teahouse. She had such a money-making idea but didn't think about her family. She was such an ungrateful person.
If she were still at home, then the double-sided embroidery would be a family thing, and all the benefits would belong to the family. Why did she, as a mother, find out about it from others even though it was clearly her daughter who registered with the Empress Dowager?
Although this double-sided embroidery is not a big achievement, but just because her family has the royal decree and this good reputation, she can also find a way to find a noble marriage for the dead girl, and help Wen Xu in the future.
Now this is no big deal. She learned from her master's family that Qinghe County had a needlework doctor, and it turned out to be her daughter. She was so angry.
"You don't have to say anything good for her. My sister-in-law is right. If this girl doesn't have a good temper now, she won't be able to sincerely care about Wenxu in the future."
Mother Cui's throat felt like it was blocked by a ball of cotton, and it took her a while to find her voice again.
Outside the county government office
Konjac and Chen Ma surrounded Cui Qingyi. Seeing a faint smile on her lips, Konjac knew that what the girl wanted to do was accomplished.
With tears in her eyes, she smiled and said, "Miss, you are really far-sighted. Fortunately, we came to Dongping County in the first place." Fortunately, the county magistrate of this place is Zhou Yanxiu, and fortunately, this man is a good official.
Cui Qingyi nodded, "Who said it wasn't?"
A cold wind blew, blowing away the smell of oil smoke on Cui Qingyi's body, but it also brought a biting chill.
The three of them walked all the way back to Huaihua Lane. As soon as they entered the lane, they saw Sister Li and Li Miao walking into the lane with a bucket of water. When they saw Cui Qingyi and the other two, Sister Li's face flashed with an unnatural look, and she quickly said, "Why don't you go to my house and sit down first?"
Li Miao also agreed: "Yes, Master, you haven't been to my house as guests for a long time."
Looking at the appearance of the mother and daughter, Cui Qingyi was hopeless if she still couldn't guess something. She walked straight past the two dynasties and walked quickly towards her own house.
At the entrance of Cui's house, there were still quite a few people gathered at this hour. Mother Qiao cursed and used a bucket to wash away the filth on the door and the wall, and then shouted at Qiao Yishi and Brother Qiao to hurry up.
The people around saw Cui Qingyi coming back and quickly made way for her. Seeing her face was almost frozen, a woman quickly explained: "Mr. Cui, this was not done by us. We don't know where these thugs came from. When we found out, it was like this."
Cui Qingyi looked carefully and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was just some kitchen waste and sewage. If it was something from the pit toilet, she would definitely take people and dogs and move it away overnight.
She just couldn't understand why the Yuan family, even though they were a branch of the Cui family and were descendants of a famous family, could be so despicable?
The person who was quietly watching not far away saw that the people in Huaihua Lane did not point fingers at the Cui family, and felt a little dissatisfied. He endured the nausea and did this just to make the people in the lane angry with Cui Qingyi, and then unite to drive her out.
But what's wrong with these peasants? Wouldn't they find it disgusting that such a woman with a bad reputation lives in the alley?
But right under this person's nose, seeing Cui Qingyi personally wiping the dirt on the gate, several women who were on good terms with the Cui family could not bear it and came forward to help. Soon the men in these families also went to fetch buckets of water. With strength in numbers, the gate and walls of Cui's house, including the bluestone slabs at the door, were soon clean.
A man shouted, "Everyone, be alert! If you see a stranger sneaking into the alley again, ring the gong and we'll have him taken to the authorities. Otherwise, you still think the people in Huaihua Alley are easy to bully and do such disgusting things in broad daylight."
Several families living at the end of the alley responded, "Okay, it's a cold day and the cat is at home. We didn't pay attention before. We won't let anyone break in and do this again."
As Konjac listened to her neighbors' conversations, the high wall she had built up in her heart due to everyone's indifference over the past few days suddenly collapsed. With red eyes, she bowed to her neighbors and said, "Thank you all."
Qiao Yishi was protecting her and felt extremely distressed. He was also anxious and angry about the Cui family's affairs in the past few days, but the feeling of being unable to help in this regard made him even more angry.
Cui Qingyi also thanked the neighbors, "Thank you, Sister Li, and thank you all. I believe I will be fine in a few days."
The neighbors didn't think much of it. They just thought Cui Qingyi was just pretending, so they said goodbye and went back.
But what no one expected was that a group of officers with big swords came to the front of Cui's house early the next morning, and the leader was Zhou Wu, Lord Zhou's personal attendant.
Zhou Wu escorted Shu Feng, who had long been unable to contain himself, into the Cui family's house and politely said, "Mr. Cui, for your safety, the Lord has specifically asked me to wait here until the imperial court's order comes down. In addition, we need to transport all the remaining potatoes and peppers you have.
The master also gave instructions on how to grow potatoes and peppers. Please write them down in detail so we can take them with us."
Cui Qingyi naturally had no objection. She took her people in and put all the remaining potatoes into the basket, but there weren't many left.
Wangcai followed closely, his eyes full of desire for the potatoes, but he didn't grab them.
Cui Qingyi stuffed a half-grown potato into Wangcai's mouth right under Zhou Wu's nose, and Wangcai quickly ate a raw potato right under Zhou Wu's nose.
Zhou Wu was amazed at what he saw. His son Shufeng was not interested in anything other than meat now.
As for the chili peppers, Cui Qingyi gave them the ones that had been strung and dried, and the seeds had not been removed from them yet. As for the ones that had been pounded into chili powder, Cui Qingyi didn't plan to give them out, and gave them all to Zhou Yanxiu for his own consumption.
Cui Qingyi then wrote down the planting method in detail on a piece of paper and handed it to Zhou Wu. "Potatoes should be able to be grown in both the north and south. As for the yield, you'll have to test it yourself."
Zhou Wu knew how important this thing was to his master, so he nodded solemnly. As he turned to leave, he quietly approached Cui Qingyi and said, "Mr. Cui, that's the stuffing from the pot that the master and his family ate last night. Do you have any more?"
