Chapter 125 Do something

"This Wei Youshan was born in a farmer's family. His family was poor, but he was talented. After working on weekdays, he went to school to eavesdrop on his studies. He passed the boy's exam at a young age. Because Wei Youshan wanted to study and be a scholar, he hoped that the clan would support him, but the clan leader

But he said that he could pay for travel expenses during exams, but he couldn't afford to study on weekdays."

"Wei Youshan had no money to support his daily studies, so he left Weijia Village and went to Jiangnian County to find a job copying books, barely making ends meet for his studies. The year before last, Wei Youshan came to Hedong Prefecture to participate in the college examination, so he came to Hedong half a year early.

Mansion, here I copied books and sold poems, while studying, and finally passed the scholar examination and entered Jiangnian County School."

"Because Wei Youshan passed the examination as a scholar and was young and unmarried, many people came to propose marriage to him. The one who finally made an appointment to marry Wei Youshan was the daughter of a wealthy businessman named Qiao in Jiangnian County. The two of them had three matches and six appointments.

A few days before the wedding, the Qiao family and Wei Youshan discussed matters such as car rewards and money for the wedding day, but found that Wei Youshan was not in the small courtyard that the Qiao family bought for Wei Youshan."

"At first, the Qiao family thought that Wei Youshan was out for something, but they didn't see him for two days in a row. When they went to the county school to inquire about it, none of his classmates had seen him. Only the neighbors said that they heard a quarrel in Wei Youshan's courtyard that morning.

There was no sound, and then there was no movement, but I didn’t worry about who came or when Wei Youshan went out.”

"After the Qiao family heard about this, they were afraid that Wei Youshan had been harmed by gangsters, so they searched everywhere, but there was still no news. They could only report Wei Youshan's disappearance to the county government, and even posted a reward list at the gate of the county town.

, hoping to find Wei Youshan, but after more than a month, Wei Youshan's body was found in a well in Fucheng, Hedong."

After listening to Xing'an's story, He Yanxiu nodded, "I remember that I seemed to hear Magistrate Qu talking about clothes, but was there anything unusual?"

He Yanxiu was busy focusing on matters at the Mint and didn't worry about other things. He only heard a few words by chance and didn't pay much attention to them.

As Xing'an's personal servant, he naturally wanted to be He Yanxiu's eyes and ears, so he paid attention to these things and inquired about them clearly.

"The clothes are ordinary clothes, but they don't seem to fit well. They seem a bit too long." Xing'an said, "But speaking of the clothes, the quality seems to be good and the workmanship is quite exquisite. Wei Youshan is so poor, but

I can afford to wear such good clothes, I wonder if the Qiao family bought them for me..."

"That's it." He Yanxiu nodded slightly.

When Xing'an saw He Yanxiu like this, some of the two-foot-old monks were confused and asked, "What do you mean by this?"

"Let's go do something."

He Yanxiu ordered.

Su Yujin's sour radish and duck soup was quickly served on the table.

Because I suddenly changed my mind during the stewing process, I decided to simply make this sour radish and duck soup into a pot base and have a vegetable shabu-shabu meal.

The duck meat is slightly cold. Drinking duck soup in spring can reduce noise and reduce internal heat. Add some vegetables to cook and eat it. It has a light taste and is comfortable to eat.

Su Yujin asked mugwort and qinggui to prepare tofu, spring bamboo shoots, spinach, lotus root slices and other vegetables suitable for shabu-shabu.

Ai Cao hesitated for a while and then opened his mouth, "Girl, when you were busy in the kitchen just now, the second master came over. Seeing that these two clothes were made for him, he asked Xing'an to take the clothes back first."

"Yeah." Su Yujin nodded.

Feeling regretful, she made a special trip to deliver it.

"Did the Second Master tell me whether the clothes fit me or not?"

"without……"

He just didn't look good when he left.

When Ai Cao hesitated to tell Su Yujin about He Yanxiu's solemn expression when he saw Yuanyang's purse, He Yanxiu and Xing'an had already entered the room.

"I made the bottom of a pot of stewed old duck with pickled radish and prepared some hot-boiled vegetables to eat. I was wondering if the second master would like it, and I was thinking about whether I should ask the second master to come over and have lunch with me."

Su Yujin smiled very doggyly.

"That's a coincidence. I was also thinking about what you were going to cook this afternoon, and wanted to take a bite." He Yanxiu sniffed the aroma coming out of the pot, "It seems to taste good."

The sour taste of pickled radish and the refreshing fragrance of duck linger on the tip of the nose, making your fingers twitch.

He Yanxiu suddenly felt empty in his stomach and was looking forward to lunch. He simply sat down and before Su Yujin opened the lid of the casserole, he couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and prepare to feast.

Seeing He Yanxiu with a slight smile on his face and his usual gentleness in his eyes, Ai Cao blinked.

Why doesn't the second master look at all unhappy at this moment, but rather a little bit... joyful?

Could it be that she was just dazzled when she saw the second master's face was not good-looking earlier?

Mugwort scratched his ears, then went to prepare bean curds, white jade mushrooms, etc., and rolled out some noodles.

This kind of shabu-shabu is the most comfortable when you boil some noodles at the end and eat a hot bowl.

April is full of beauty in the world, especially because of the light rain last night and the ground was covered with petals of various colors.

The weather will start to get hotter in May, and people will change into thinner summer clothes, so many people will reserve summer clothes at this time, which also makes Linglong Pavilion very busy at this time.

You need to purchase cloth and silk threads of various colors, receive various orders, come to measure, come back to cut, embroider and sew, then wash and iron them, and deliver them to customers.

The busiest people at this time were undoubtedly the embroiderers.

Dozens of embroidery girls are busy in the embroidery room. The slender and smooth needles in their hands are decorated with long silk threads, flying up and down on the flat embroidered cloth. Various patterns are vividly displayed on the embroidered cloth.

Only Madam Fang was looking at the falling petals outside.

Madam Yun on the side patted her and said, "Why are you still in a daze? If you can't finish these tasks, I'm afraid you won't even have time to eat dinner."

He added, "You seem to be in a trance these days, and your work is slow. Although you can get out of work even if you stay up late at night, you are always doing embroidery in front of the oil lamp, which is most likely to hurt your eyes. You don't make much money."

In a few years, my eyes will be damaged."

It's hard to endure it, because she doesn't want to be an embroiderer anymore and embroider flowers and make clothes for others.

Seeing that Madam Fang was indifferent to her persuasion, Madam Yun became more and more worried, "You used to be the most diligent, and you wouldn't even take a break for tea in the middle of the way. After finishing your own work, you still had to pick up some extra ones to do. Why?"

Have you become more and more lazy recently?"

"Is it possible that this money is no longer valuable enough to urge you to make money?" Mrs. Yun simply joked.

yes.

Silver is really not fragrant enough.

This silver is stinky, and even those who touch it become stinky.

Madam Fang bit her lower lip and bit out a few bloody beads.
