Song Qiu had already thought about what delicious food he would make for her tomorrow, and turned back to talk to Mrs. Shen.
"Listen to what Zhenzhen said, my sister-in-law is planning to come to the inn tomorrow, right? Then I have to prepare well. I remember that my sister-in-law likes to eat boiled fish. I will leave a big head fish for my sister-in-law tomorrow, and that one will be used to make boiled fish.
tasty."
Mrs. Shen laughed when she heard this, "Well, I just want to try my sister's cooking. My aunt and uncle will go with me tomorrow. Both old people love to eat, so I'll ask my sister to worry about it."
Song Qiu nodded, "Sister-in-law, please don't be polite to your sister. We have just recognized each other, and we are a family. If my sister-in-law comes to my place, it is just like returning to her own home!"
"You have such a little mouth!" Mrs. Shen felt warm in her heart when she heard this. She also liked Song Qiu from the bottom of her heart.
Song Wenzhi saw their sister-in-law talking and couldn't get in the conversation, so he drank a few sips of tea and quickly jumped in when he had an opportunity, "Aqiu came to town at this hour, what's the matter? Last time Huang Yuanwai, that Zhuangzi...
Did you buy it? I heard that Huang Yuanwai left today."
Song Qiu heard that Huang Yuanwai left today, and thought that it was an unlucky thing. He didn't meet him on the way. Huang Yuanwai probably stopped at the inn for lunch at noon, but they didn't get to meet him.
However, there is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever. The last moment we spent together that day was quite pleasant and enough.
Song Qiu nodded, "I bought it. It's five hundred and forty taels. I've already left the paperwork at the town office. I'm really grateful to my brother for the emergency money, otherwise I wouldn't be able to buy this Zhuangzi."
Song Wenzhi smiled and glared at her, "I've said it several times, and I'm really polite to my eldest brother. First, I asked your sister-in-law not to see you outside. It's better for you. We, brother and sister, don't talk about thank you or not.
"
Song Qiu laughed and said, "What the elder brother said is that my sister will not see you outside. No, if something happens, she will come to you without seeing anyone outside!"
Song Wenzhi knew that something was wrong with her. Otherwise, the inn was so busy and it would not be easy to go into the town. He would not come here specially, so he said: "If there is something wrong, please tell me quickly."
He has been in Panshi Town for ten years, and he has rarely met his brothers and sisters from his own family, and he cannot be said to be very close to his cousins.
By chance, I met Song Qiu here. She happened to have the same surname and she was a well-behaved and sweet little girl. He also truly regarded her as his sister.
Being an older brother and being able to help his younger sister gives him a different feeling of satisfaction.
Song Qiu immediately told her that your boss invited her to dinner today and wanted to buy condiments from her, but she refused.
"When I look at this noble boss, I'm afraid that I feel uncomfortable. He might be thinking of some tricks to deal with me, so I came here to ask for my brother's protection!"
She smiled with crooked eyebrows, "Huang Yuan told me before he left that if he couldn't offend your boss, and would inevitably offend him, then he would ask Shopkeeper Song from Tongfang Pharmacy for help. He said that Shopkeeper Song was with him.
Your boss is also a bit discordant, so you must be right to ask Shopkeeper Song for help."
Song Wenzhi reminded Song Qiu last time and knew that your boss would come to Song Qiu, so he was not surprised.
But after listening to Song Qiu's words and seeing the little girl smiling like a little mouse, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Huang Yuanwai is a really nice person. I don't know about our relationship, but I don't give you any advice first and ask you to come to me for help. I am really thinking about you."
"This noble boss and I did have some disagreements earlier. My lord has a lot of experience. If I don't share his experience, he wouldn't dare to take action against me even if he retaliates. He can only hold on to his anger."
"This person doesn't have much ability. He can't do anything well. It's just that his intestines are a few more curved than others and he has many evil thoughts in his belly, which makes it hard for people to guard against him."
"But with the support of the pavilion chief behind him, most people don't dare to offend, so they can only grit their teeth and accept it."
"When you come to me, he doesn't care enough. Don't worry. If you don't want to sell this seasoning to him, don't sell it to him. If he pulls the pavilion chief's tiger skin and wants to plot something against you, I have a big brother here."
Mrs. Shen also echoed the words, "Just don't be afraid, Aqiu. He is just a small pavilion chief, nothing. He is a high-ranking official. It is nothing to worry about. Aqiu, you don't have to take this matter to your heart."
"
After Song Qiu heard what they both said, she was sure that her eldest brother would help. Even if the noble boss moved out the pavilion chief to suppress her, she didn't have to be afraid, so she naturally stopped worrying.
She was not afraid of anything else, but she was afraid that the chief of the pavilion would use his power to suppress others, and she, a simple commoner, could not resist.
On the surface, there is no need to be afraid. If your boss is up to something, she can only guard against it. She can’t ask her elder brother to help arrest your boss so that he doesn’t have to conspire, right?
This is not true either.
As long as no pavilion chief came forward to suppress her with power, it would be fine.
Song Qiu felt reassured, and happily talked to Song Wenzhi and his wife about the family feud, then went to the kitchen in the backyard to make sesame balls, and taught the cook step by step. Song Zhenzhen could eat them anytime she wanted.
Can eat it.
After finishing the sesame ball, Song Qiu saw that Song Zhenzhen hadn't gotten up yet and it was getting late, so he said goodbye to Song Wenzhi and asked Shen to take her time tomorrow and wait for her at the inn.
After leaving Tongfang Pharmacy, Song Qiu thought about coming to the town. At this point, he was not in a hurry to go back to the inn because he was busy, so he drove back empty-handed and went to Wuji Grain and Oil Store to buy a lot of rice, flour, grain and oil.
Thinking that with the addition of Tao family members, the winter months are about to get colder, so I also pulled out a lot of fabric and cotton, planning to make two cotton-padded jackets for everyone, so that they can be warmly dressed and work without shrinking from the cold.
If you want others to work for you sincerely, you, as the boss, are naturally not stingy, right?
Cloth and cotton are not as important as people.
It was for Yuan Hua and his wife, and she was also involved in the plan.
As for the workshop, let's wait until the work is over and make further remarks later.
The mule cart was now fully loaded and wandered out of the town, heading all the way to Songshan Village.
Not long after leaving the town, we reached the trail leading to Chengjiazhuang.
There happened to be a line of carriages coming up the path.
In order not to bump into anyone, Du Chuanfu, who was driving on the right, stopped Xiao Hei and stopped on the side for now, waiting for the other side to turn up first and then go ahead.
Song Qiu sat among a pile of rice bags, looking around at the scenery with nothing to do, and then curiously looked at the approaching carriage.
The carriage at the beginning was of fine workmanship, and the horses pulling it were also excellent. There were several carriages in a row, and in such a large formation, they came out of Chengjiazhuang. Needless to say, they must be the Cheng family.
Just in time, a carriage behind the mule carriage passed by and the curtain of the carriage was opened by the wind. Song Qiu saw Mrs. Chen sitting inside at a glance.
Mrs. Chen lowered her eyebrows and sat down with a few maids dressed up.
But she didn't see Song Qiu outside.
Song Qiu looked at the carriage team passing by, all the way to the town, and then looked back.
Not long ago I heard that Aunt Donggua was appreciated by Grandma Cheng, and now she works beside Grandma Cheng and takes her with her everywhere, which is true when I think about it.
Is it Grandma Cheng who is traveling here? She really is bringing Auntie Winter Melon with her.
From the looks of it, the Cheng family should have gone to town for a dinner. She had just heard from her sister-in-law that Mrs. Lu was having a dinner party for her birthday today and only invited people she was close to. Sister-in-law would be waiting later.
I have to go too.
As the natal family, the Cheng family has no reason not to go.
I'm just curious. Mrs. Lu has to hold a dinner party, and she's not afraid of it being late at night and it's inconvenient for guests to come and go.

Four updates today!
I tried my best to write and write while taking care of the children in the morning. After lunch, I wrote seriously for four hours straight after lunch!
But I am so exhausted that I need to rest my eyes.
