Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 46

"My lord..." Hu Qian pointed to the remaining book, but did not open it, "The student guessed right by luck."

Sun Wentai was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed again and again: "Yes, yes, it is indeed amazing! This copper coin..."

Hu Qian said: "Copper coins are of no use to students, but they are treasures to adults, so adults should keep them.

If you feel sorry, why don't you ask Xuezheng to help you repair the academy, what do you think? "

One sentence made Qi Fuzi, Xu Yuanfang and others nod repeatedly.

Sun Wentai even praised: "You are respectful and broad-minded, which is admirable. Well, I will submit a memorial when I get back to raise funds for all the academies in Jinling."

As he spoke, he took away the book, moved the copper coin in his sleeve to his palm, weighed it in front of everyone, and put it in his sleeve again.

From then on, when Sun Wentai looked at Hu Qian again, her heart was full of admiration, and she said some hopeful words, and made an appointment to meet in Liangjing, Zhili Prefecture, Shannan Prefecture next autumn.

After stopping for a day, Sun Wentai left Jinling and went to the counties below.

Seeing that Laba was approaching, Shen Yuzhen hurriedly went to Buzhuang to buy all kinds of cloth, and took Hu Qian to measure the sleeves for Hu Butong and Zhao, saying that she wanted to make a new one for her family before Laba. winter clothes.

She thought about it, then pulled Axiu to her side, and made one for her.

As a result, one of A's embroidery costs more fabric than the two of Xing'er's skinny ones - nothing else, the main reason is that the size of the chest needs to be made wider.

Naturally, none of the servants failed, but it was definitely not done by Shen Yuzhen himself, but some scattered money was distributed to them to subsidize their families.

Those who are willing to buy clothes buy clothes, and those who don't don't.

However, Shen Yuzhen was in a hurry to make the clothes and accidentally pricked her hand, so Xiaohuan and Xing'er helped clean up.

After Axiu heard about it, she also came to help.

She is used to doing housework, and she is good at cutting and sewing.

The four of them were busy working together, and finally finished their new winter clothes before the Laba Festival.

Hu Qian and Shen Yuzhen sent the clothes of the two old people over early, and they were so happy that Hu Butong and Zhao even praised Shen Yuzhen for being thoughtful.

At the end, Mrs. Zhao suddenly said to Hu Qian: "Qian Er, how is your celestial art practice? Didn't you have a family full of children and grandchildren before?"

Hu Qian was taken aback for a moment, and when he went to see Shen Yuzhen, she saw that her face immediately changed. If she hadn't suppressed it by force, she might have burst into tears on the spot.

So Hu Qian casually said a few perfunctory words, and pulled her back to the bedroom.

Shen Yuzhen finally couldn't bear it anymore, and cried on Hu Qian's shoulder.

"Miss..."

Hu Qian wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know where to start, so he hugged her tightly.

Shen Yuzhen cried for a while, then gradually stopped, and suddenly called out: "Xing'er, go and invite Axiu here."

"My lady, what are you doing?"

"Msanggong, tomorrow is Laba, and the previous promise should be fulfilled."

After finishing speaking, I will not say more.

"Master, Madam."

Axiu held her right hand with her left hand and stood in front of Hu Qian and Shen Yuzhen with her head bowed.

After these many days, Axiu's complexion is no longer as yellow as before. Although her body is not fat, her spirit is much better.

"Axiu, tomorrow you come to serve the young master to rest, understand?"

Axiu was taken aback for a moment, and she just nodded silently without saying a word for a long time.

"Miss, this is too fast..."

Just as Hu Qian was about to speak, Shen Yuzhen said first: "There is still a vacant room in the west wing, you and Xiaohuan Xing'er will clean it up later.

The furniture in the house was pasted with red paper, and the bedding and other things were replaced with new ones.

Here are 50 taels of silver, you take it, ten taels of which are given to Liu Ma, and the rest you keep for yourself, remember to add new clothes and buy some rouge and gouache. "

Axiu bowed her head and took the silver.

"Oh, by the way, I will go to Hu Jiu tomorrow to ask for a pot of charcoal, and set up a stove in the house. The room should not be too cold, or my husband may catch a cold when he is active.

What's more, from now on, don't go to the back kitchen to help, but wash yourself well. "

Hu Qian and Axiu blushed when they heard this, but Shen Yuzhen changed from her shy appearance before, and she felt like a family leader.

She thought for a while, then got up and took the Avalokitesvara statue hanging on the bed, hesitated and said: "You take this too, hang it on the bed, remember to worship every morning and evening."

Axiu stretched out both hands to receive it, and slowly backed away.

Seeing her leave, Shen Yuzhen suddenly had a sore nose and lay down on the bed sobbing.

Hu Qian felt uncomfortable and comforted him for a long time.

I heard that there will be an exorcism ceremony on the street tomorrow, so I decided to go play with Shen Yuzhen and relax.

On the day of Laba, Xiaohuan and Xing'er still dressed Shen Yuzhen as a man, and put on the clothes they sewed last time.

Before going out, Hu Butong sent a message from Hu Jiu, saying that he had business to deal with, and asked Hu Qian to take time to visit Xu's mansion today.

In the morning, the number of people on the street gradually increased. Apart from tourists, there were also many sellers of Exorcism costumes and masks on both sides.

One of the peddlers saw that Hu Qian and the two were dressed in luxurious clothes, solicited: "Both young masters, buy a mask, and you can join the exorcism team in a while."

Hu Qian found it interesting, so he bought two tiger-head god masks and two long-sleeved and long-clothed ghost-exorcism robes.

The robe was so big that it could be worn directly on the body, and the mask was also very strange, but at this time there were already many men and women wearing masks on the street.

There are also many children wearing masks, chasing and playing with axes used to exorcise ghosts.

"My lady, there are many people on the street, so don't get lost."

Shen Yuzhen was in a bad mood, so she just nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Hu Qian said no more, just took her hand and walked forward.

In the opposite restaurant, Ma Shoubei's two daughters witnessed this scene, among which Ma Ningrong suddenly said: "Cui Liu, did you see the mask and robe that Mr. Hu bought? Go, buy me a set that is exactly the same."

Ma Ningxue said: "Sister, what are you doing?"

"I just want to play with Mr. Hu."

"Sister, since he already has a wife, why should you do this?"

"Sister, the world is so big, but my younger sister won't marry unless Mr. Hu."

Ma Ningxue shook her head, "If my father finds out, I'm afraid he will be angry."

"Father's mind is now on suppressing the bandits. Even though today is the Laba Festival, he must be at home with my mother. How can he have time to take care of me?"

In the next room, Mr. He saw Lu Huanniang lying on the window sill looking out, and couldn't help worrying: "Huanniang, grandpa has already inquired many ways, but he really couldn't find any news about Hu Xun."

Lady Lu Huan remained silent.

"That Hu Budong is a Jinling Tongzhi at any rate, so don't embarrass grandpa if you don't see him easily."

Lu Huanniang suddenly got up and walked out.

"Huan Niang, what are you doing?"

"Go to see Mr. Hu Xun."

"Don't act recklessly, if it is known that you forced your way into Mr. Tongzhi's house, then what should you do?"

"No, the young master is right below."

"Huan Niang, you are a daughter's family after all, it's better for the man to take the initiative in this matter."

"The eunuch understands."
