Chapter 71 The solemnity of a family of three
As soon as Phili's caravan arrived in the capital, the Chen family sent people to find out the whole story of double-sided embroidery.
As soon as the young lady of the Chen family saw the two exquisite pictures of flying fairies, her eyes were glued to them.
She had been learning embroidery from famous masters since she was young. She thought she was one of the best ladies in Jin Dynasty and was always proud of it. But now she realized that there are always people better than you.
This double-sided embroidery must be a treasure only found in heaven. She must learn this skill!
Knowing that this double-sided embroidery came from a small county under Qinghe County, the eldest branch of the Chen family handed the task to a family member living in Qinghe City, stating that a master who mastered the double-sided embroidery technique must be sent to the Chen Mansion in the capital.
The Chen family in the capital and the Chen family in Qinghe are of the same origin. The Chen family in Qinghe is still waiting for support from others, so they naturally attach great importance to this matter.
After some discussion, Mr. Chen and his wife decided to let their biological son Chen Lin'an take the eldest son of the third wife to Dongping County.
The couple was a typical example of a loving father and a strict mother. Master Chen had a stern face. "What your uncle has instructed us to do not only concerns your sister's marriage, but also the fate of our Chen family. I'm letting you go so that you can show your face in front of your uncle. You must not let me down on this trip."
Chen Linan didn't think hiring a female master would cause any problems, but he still straightened his expression before facing Master Chen Er and bowed, saying, "Father, rest assured. I will definitely live up to your and my uncle's trust."
Chen Linan was very clear about his family's situation. Although he was also working hard to pass the imperial examination, even if he became an official in the future, he would inevitably rely on the help of his uncle in the capital, not to mention that he had not yet become an official.
So even without his father telling him, he was determined to do this beautifully.
After Mr. Chen Er finished his lecture, Mrs. Chen Er kindly called Chen Lin'an to come over and talk to her.
"My son, you must take good care of yourself when you go to Dongping County this time. You must complete the tasks assigned by your father and uncle, and you must also take care of your own health.
Your mother and your wife are waiting for you at home, so don't mess around outside."
Chen's mother didn't want to say the last sentence.
But when Lin Ying learned that Lin'an was going to Dongping County for business, she came to her crying last night and insisted on going with him.
Mrs. Chen Er knew exactly what she meant. She was simply afraid that Lin'an would fall in love with another woman outside and bring her back.
But when a man goes out to do something, what will it look like if the woman at home follows him? She took a lot of effort to appease Lin Ying. After thinking about it, she decided to give one more reminder today.
Although she thought it was okay for her son to take another concubine, Lin Ying still had no children, so she still asked Lin'an to pay more attention to her.
Chen Lin'an raised an eyebrow, immediately realizing that Lin Ying had gone to her mother to make trouble again. He remained impassive, but a sense of disgust began to build inside. When Cui was still around, his mother had never once told him about these things.
"Mother, I understand."
While waiting for Chen Linan to leave, Mr. Chen and his wife sat opposite each other, drinking tea and talking.
Mrs. Chen Er was not happy: "Why should Ping'an go with us? That child is very competitive and might cause trouble for us Lin'an."
If you were to ask who Mrs. Chen dislikes the most in this family, Old Lady Chen would be first, and the one from the third room would be second.
She didn't like Old Lady Chen because she wanted to disgust her by finding an inappropriate marriage for Lin'an, which made her feel uncomfortable for many years.
I don’t like the third wife because her children are so outstanding, especially Chen Pingan who is so outstanding.
Mr. Chen shook his head in disapproval, "That's just a woman's opinion. Ping An is also a child of the Chen family. If he can succeed, it will be a blessing for the Chen family.
Ping An is also a steady person, and he can help Lin'an."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen Er held her breath in her throat.
But he could only secretly complain in his heart: "What a fool! His own son has no future yet, yet he is still thinking about other people's children."
After everything was prepared, the two Chen brothers went to Dongping County with a small entourage.
Cui Qingyi didn't know that trouble was coming again.
At this moment, she and Konjac were hiding in the living room with the door locked, counting banknotes. Wangcai was arranged to squat at the door of the living room to keep watch.
As for the gate being locked, there is really no need to keep watch.
Is this the mentality of a poor person who suddenly becomes rich?
Today at noon
Fan Hui and his wife came to visit suddenly, both of them had beaming faces, and it was obvious that something good was coming.
Without bothering to exchange pleasantries, Fan Hui pulled Cui Qingyi straight into the house.
"Sister Cui, what do you think this is?"
Cui Qingyi lowered her head and took a closer look, only to see Fan Hui pull out a plate of silver bills from her sleeve, each worth one hundred taels.
Even though Cui Qingyi thought she had seen some of the world, she was still shocked.
This couple must have gone out to rob banknotes in broad daylight.
But on second thought, I found it funny.
She couldn't help but lower her voice, "Where did this come from?"
Money, who doesn’t love it?
What's more, there is so much silver in this era.
Qi Moxuan followed behind him and spoke after hearing this:
"Shopkeeper Zhao from the Seven Stars Study came today, and this is his share of the four-month profit from the Blue Sky Chronicle."
Qi Moxuan paused for a moment and smiled. "I guess they want to show off the strength of Qixing Shuzhai. After all, their profit in four months is much greater than that of Moxiang Zhai in eight months."
Although he was very happy about the successful cooperation with Qixing Shuzhai, the contrast was too tragic. He always thought that he was doing well in business, but now it seems that he was just looking at the world from a well.
Cui Qingyi smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Qi is open-minded and wise in business, and has a good management method. In time, he will definitely be more successful than the Seven Stars Study.
I am also waiting for Mr. Qi to support me when his business becomes bigger in the future."
Qi Moxuan said this simply because he was a little unsure about the size of Qixing Shuzhai and was afraid that she would abandon Moxiangzhai and cooperate directly with Qixing Shuzhai in the future.
She really didn't have that idea. After living two lives, how could she not understand the truth that desires are insatiable? It was already a rare blessing for a person to live a peaceful and smooth life. The more you ask for, the worse your life will be.
Qi Moxuan laughed immediately. This is the advantage of talking to smart people. You only need to let the other person know a little bit and they will understand.
"Then I'll borrow Mr. Cui's good words."
Fan Hui usually does not interrupt when the two are talking. The couple has their own way of getting along with the Cui family. Business is business and human relationships are human relationships, and they are not mixed up.
As soon as Fan Hui and his wife left, Cui Qingyi and Konjac, who had been very calm, immediately closed the door and hid in the living room.
Faced with the thick stack of banknotes, Cui Qingyi was as shocked as Konjac.
Konjac swallowed his saliva and asked, "Miss, are all these banknotes ours?"
Although she had seen that the Qingtianji written by her daughter was very valuable, this was too exaggerated. Is it so easy to make money from scholars?
Cui Qingyi counted the stack of banknotes over and over again, then handed it to Kongkong to count several times, and finally put it solemnly into the money jar at home.
After hiding the money jar, Cui Qingyi went out and reminded Wangcai several times to keep a close eye on the front door of the house.
Wangcai tilted his head to look at the room where the money was hidden, and also shook his tail solemnly.
