Dressed as a widow, raising cubs, farming and building infrastructure in Ming Dynasty

Chapter 24 A high official passes by
Qin Liu was going out and met the little mute. She gave him an urgent look to calm him down, then left the house with a smile on her face to comfort the man who had some dirt on his body: " It’s okay, it’s just a misunderstanding.”

"My lord, go ahead and continue drinking!" She had come to her senses. The bastard man who was screwing with the woman on the kang just now was dressed differently from an ordinary soldier. He was obviously from a hundred families, and she couldn't afford to offend him.

At this time, Mr. Zhang from Qianhu also came over. He asked with a smile: "Why is Chen Baihu so anxious? There is a lot of trouble in front of the widow's house, and you are here to join in the fun?"

As he said that, he glanced at Qin Liu, with a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Qin Liu didn't realize when he had lost his headscarf, and his beautiful black hair shone beautifully in the sun.She has had balanced nutrition for more than a year, has a good foundation, and her appearance is not on the same level as those ordinary daughters-in-law who are still struggling to survive.

Chen Baihu stretched out his clothes, and his angry face became much calmer. He glared at the little mute's back and snorted angrily.

Qin Liu knew at a glance that Chen Baihu had a very good reputation. Firstly, he was afraid that his affair with the woman in the house would be exposed by everyone. Secondly, he was thrown out of the house and thrown on the dirt. It was too embarrassing and needed Find a step down.

She hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to apologize: "It's really my little brother from my mother's side who is ignorant and has a young child who has never seen the world. I have offended Mr. Chen. You don't remember the faults of villains. Please forgive me."

Master Zhang glanced at Qin Liu a few more times, then patted Chen Baihu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother, give me some face and go have a drink!"

Chen Baihu glared at the little mute for a few times before following Mr. Zhang.

As Mr. Zhang walked towards the Yanzi Tower ahead, he did not forget to look back at Qin Liu.

Qin Liu took the little mute and asked him to go back to the west room. After closing the door, he went to the east room to see the old man, the second child and the young child.

The woman who was twisting the twists just now was standing in the east wing anxiously and at a loss.

Qin Liu didn't even look at her, and asked Old Man Li how he was doing.

The two children who had been crying came over and stood close to Qin Liu, sobbing softly.He looked frightened.

Old Man Li sighed, and said kindly in a hoarse voice: "I broke my waist. I'm of no use to you... Just support me... No need to hire a doctor, don't waste money... That Chen Baihu holds a grudge the most, you You have to be careful, put on your headscarf quickly!"

Qin Liu shed a tear in dissatisfaction.

This old man was so mean to save money for her even after he was injured!
Qin Liu put on his turban, comforted Dalang and Erlang, and planned to go to Yanzilou. Doctor Qian, who was sitting at the table, came over to show Old Man Li a look.

There was only such a doctor in the town, and Doctor Qian was always popular and highly respected, and he would be invited to anyone's house.

Everyone wants to pay good money to the doctor, so that they may be able to extend their lives at any time.

Before going out, Qin Liu went to grab the woman standing in the east room and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, are you coming with me to see the bride? Chen Baihu, please give me a nice word and don't bear any grudge against our family." .”

The woman's face calmed down a lot.The little widow was afraid of being retaliated, so naturally she would not tell her embarrassing story.

The two of them went around the Ma family's house, and then Qin Liu took the woman's hand and went to the female guests' table in Yanzi Tower.

When she left, she vaguely heard Aunt Ma smiling kindly at the woman and saying, "Ms. Zhao, all the members of the Zhao family in your family are drunk today!"

Qin Liu shivered.This woman seems to be the wife of a hundred households, but she actually got together with another hundred households!This is really messy!
But she didn't have time to worry about other people's affairs. She found Doctor Qian and took him to the house to show Old Man Li a look.

Doctor Qian felt it and understood: "It's nothing, just stay in bed for a month and a half. Go back to my house to get some plaster and put it on him." The last sentence was addressed to Qin Liu.

Qin Liu naturally agreed.

Doctor Qian glanced around the room and nodded secretly.

Old Man Li's bedding is brand new, the room is neatly tidied, and there are teapots and cups on the table.The cotton-padded jacket worn by Old Man Li is also clean and soft.

This old man Li is really lucky. His widowed daughter-in-law is not only capable, but also very filial.

Qin Liu let the two children play on the kang, and asked Dalang to read to Old Man Li and Erlang with a book. He sent Doctor Qian to Yanzilou.

The banquet was coming to an end at this time, and Ma Ang was sending Mr. Zhang and others outside the Yanzi Building.

Mr. Zhang got on his horse and saluted the crowd with clasped fists, his face full of pride.Although Ma Ang was getting married today, it was Zhang who stole the show!
Mr. Zhang was about to ride home when he heard the sound of horse hooves behind him. Someone from a small group of cavalry shouted to him: "Old Zhang, long time no see!"

Mr. Zhang turned around, and when he saw the person clearly, he quickly dismounted, stepped forward, saluted and said with a flattering smile: "Mr. Jiang! Long time no see! How are you?"

The man on the horse was holding a riding whip, wearing a military uniform, and looked heroic. He sneered and said: "I'm fine, I'm fine, but I've been tortured a lot! The Tatar soldiers passing by you are so cunning that they went to our Yuzhou to show off their power. There’s no trace of them! It’s extremely unlucky that they still have to come out to chase the Tatars in this frozen world!”

Mr. Zhang hurriedly called him to go inside the Yanzi Building: "Mr. Jiang, please come quickly! Today is the wedding day for my wife and sister. I am drinking wedding wine at my brother-in-law's house. Since Mr. Jiang is here, please treat me with a glass of wedding wine before leaving. !”

Mr. Jiang looked at the guests inside and outside the Yanzi Building, but did not refuse. He got off his horse and walked in with Mr. Zhang. He pointed behind him and said with a bold smile: "My team didn't have lunch either, so I invited Mr. Zhang." Help with the hospitality.”

"Good talk good talk!"

Most of the people at the tables in the hall of Yanzi Tower have left, leaving only a mess of cups and plates, not much food left, and water in the copper pot is still boiling.The air is filled with the aroma of food and wine, and the faint smell of mutton is particularly charming at this time, making your empty and cold stomach squirm.

Master Zhang glanced at the sky and pulled Ma Ang, and whispered: "Hurry up and pack the private room to arrange a banquet. This is Master Jiang Binjiang, the commander of the Weizhou Guard, a senior official of the fourth rank!"

Ma Ang looked nervous and hurriedly went to look for Qin Liu.

Qin Liu heard that Ma Ang said that a high official had arrived, and acted quickly: she asked old man Lou to take Ma Yue to clear the dining table in the private room, and let the little mute in the West Room continue to cut the meat, while she prepared a copper pot with her own hands.

Fortunately, there are plenty of dishes prepared, and they are quickly plated and ready to be served to the table.

Old Man Lou, Ma Yue and others brought the cleaned cups and dishes into the east wing, but they said with a somewhat embarrassed look: "Shopkeeper, don't let me go to the private room to deliver food."

Qin Liu was stunned but nodded.

She asked Ma Ang and Sister Ma Feng to do this, while she took the wives who came to help to clean up the dining table in the hall.
