"It's what he deserves. After all, it was Yier who saved his family." Chu Hongyun said with a smile.
Mother Qiu nodded, then asked Qiu Yinong: "What would Yi'er like to eat tonight?"
"Let's have hand-rolled noodles tonight. I don't know if Third Brother will come back for dinner." Qiu Hanyan went out in the morning. His former classmates invited him to have a drink and celebrate together.
"Okay, then let's make hand-rolled noodles. Your third brother said he only drinks at noon, so don't worry, Shanda is following."
After saying this happily, Mother Qiu turned around and went back to the kitchen to busy herself.
Sure enough, as the sun set, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and soon the carriage stopped in front of the door.
After Niu Shanda and Qiu Hanyan got off the carriage, they drove it into the yard.
Then release the horse and lead it to the stable.
The carriage was parked side by side with another carriage, and Qiu Hanyan walked over to Qiu Yinong and sat down.
"Little sister, something happened in town today."
"What happened?" Qiu Yinong looked at Qiu Hanyan curiously.
Qiu Hanyan said, "The restaurant where my classmates hosted a banquet today was Sanweixuan, and someone died while eating there."
"Huh? You ate to death?" Qiu Yinong stopped what he was doing and Chu Hongyun looked at him.
Qiu Hanyan nodded and said, "He was arrested on the spot. Some say it was the waiter at the restaurant who poisoned him, while others say it was his table mate who poisoned him."
"How many people are at that table?"
"Three people, one of them collapsed while eating, at the table next to us."
"Did you see him fall down?" Qiu Yinong looked at her third brother, but she didn't see it. The third brother was a weak scholar, but he was not scared when he saw someone die.
As if he could see what she was thinking, Qiu Hanyan fondled her nose.
"Your third brother will be an official in the future. How could he be frightened by seeing someone die in front of him?" However, some people were really frightened.
One of his classmates fainted on the spot, and the owner of Sanweixuan was so frightened that he hurriedly reported to the police and sent the patient to the hospital.
"After that man fell down, he started vomiting. His mouth was full of vomit and his face was black. Yi'er, do you know what happened?"
Qiu Hanyan looked into Qiu Yinong's eyes and asked.
"I didn't see the body, so I don't know what to say, but I can be sure that this wasn't a case of poisoning."
"What are they eating on the table?" Qiu Yinong suddenly thought of something and asked again.
Qiu Hanyan recalled for a moment, then said, "That Sanweixuan restaurant recommended to everyone today that they have a magical fish that will swell up when poked."
"I showed it to everyone at the time. It was indeed quite magical, but because no one had ever seen it, no one dared to try it."
"Only the people at the next table wanted to try it. When the shopkeeper saw someone wanted it, he immediately told the waiter to send it to the kitchen."
"Later, when the braised fish was served, one of the two people at the table hit his head on the door, and the other helped him to the shopkeeper to bandage it."
"The remaining one tasted it first. When his two companions came back, before they could say a few words, he fell to the ground and died."
After hearing the description, Qiu Yinong immediately understood why the man died.
That fish should be pufferfish. Pufferfish has a poison sac. After removing the poison sac, it becomes a very delicious river delicacy.
But if the poison sac is not removed, it is extremely poisonous and can kill you instantly if you are contaminated by it.
"That fish is called pufferfish. It is extremely poisonous. If you remove the poison sac, it will become a delicacy." As Qiu Yinong said this, Chu Hongyun also remembered something.
It seems that those people also died from puffer fish poison.
No wonder the murderer couldn’t be found.
"It turns out that the pufffish is poisonous." Qiu Hanyan was terrified. At that time, two of his classmates wanted to try it.
Fortunately, he didn't order anything, otherwise he would have been in trouble.
"So remember, don't try anything you haven't eaten before out of curiosity, or you might lose your life."
"Yeah, Yier, you are right." Qiu Hanyan and Chu Hongyun said at the same time.
During dinner in the evening, Qiu Yinong gave instructions to her family members, especially the fourth child, Qiu Hanli.
To prevent him from losing his life in the future while researching dishes.
Qiu Hanli nodded repeatedly to indicate that he remembered it.
A banquet will be held the day after tomorrow. Qiu Hanqing said that he will form a hunting team to go to the mountains to hunt some wild game tomorrow. They will not go deep and will return on the same day.
Father Qiu nodded in agreement. Qiu Yinong also said that she would go to the town tomorrow to purchase the betrothal gifts. Later, when her third brother went to the county school, she would send him off and go to the county at the same time.
"Yier, what are you doing in the county?" Qiu Hansheng probably knew why, but he still asked.
"Go prepare the betrothal gifts for Big Brother. Big Brother is already eighteen, and Sister Mo is already seventeen. We must get the wedding done this year."
"It will definitely be too late to prepare the wedding dress by then, so I plan to go to the county and ask the embroiderers at the county embroidery workshop to help me make a set."
"Here are the drawings. Take a look and see if you like them." Qiu Yinong took out two pieces of paper from her small purse.
Qiu Hansheng took it with a red face, and when he saw the pattern on it, he liked it instantly.
"It will definitely look good on you, big brother." Qiu Hanqing leaned over to take a look, and Qiu Hansheng unfolded the drawing for everyone to see.
Mother Qiu reached out and touched the wedding dress: "This wedding dress is really beautiful."
"Although the laws of the Great Chu state that common people can wear phoenix crowns and robes, they are generally kept away from the royal boudoir."
"This phoenix wearing a peony is just right." Qiu Yinong said with a smile.
Everyone nodded, expressing that Qiu Yinong was thoughtful.
After dinner, Qiu Yinong took a shower, sat in the yard with her long hair loose, and looked up at the starry sky.
She heard footsteps behind her and thought it was one of her brothers coming out. She didn't turn around and pointed at the two stars in the sky.
"That's Vega, and that's Altair. I once read about a love story between a human and an immortal in a book about demons and immortals."
"Legend has it that there is a fairy named Vega in the sky who is very skillful. She has a very magical instrument called a loom."
"The loom can weave layers of beautiful clouds, and the clouds can change color with time and seasons. The Weaver Girl can cut the clouds into clothes, and this clothes is called Heavenly Clothes."
"Those noble fairies wear this kind of heavenly clothing."
"One day, the Queen Mother was in a good mood, and the fairies took the opportunity to beg to come down to the mortal world to visit the Bilian Pond. The Queen Mother was in a very good mood and agreed."
"The fairies took the Weaver Girl with them. She was the Queen Mother's granddaughter. She usually sat at her loom and weaved. The Queen Mother asked her to go with them and play, so the Weaver Girl followed the fairies down to earth."
"At that time, the fairy, the Weaver Girl, and the Queen Mother had no idea what would happen next."
The person behind her took a piece of cloth and gently wiped her dripping wet hair. Qiu Yinong was happy to enjoy it and continued to tell the story.
"In the mortal world, there lived a young man named Niulang. His parents had both passed away, and he was raised by his brother and sister-in-law. However, they often treated him harshly, and when he reached adulthood, they separated from him early."
