Xu Jingye and Chen Qingshan agreed on a time to go to the military headquarters to sign up for the army, and then said goodbye and left.
Chen Qingshan happily pulled Qiao Chu into the room and took out the white jade hairpin like a treasure.
Qiao Chu was very surprised: "You bought it for me?"
Chen Qingshan nodded, with a hint of nervousness in his eyes: "Do you like it?"
"I like it." Qiao Chu nodded and casually inserted it into her bun, "Does it look good?"
"It looks good! It looks good!" Chen Qingshan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, then as if he remembered something, he opened the bag and took out several pieces of ingredients, "These are all bought for you too!"
Qiao Chu looked at the materials. Even though he didn't understand the market, he could see that they were not bargains. He couldn't help but be surprised: "Have you spent all your money?"
Chen Qingshan was stunned: "How did you know?"
Without waiting for Qiao Chu to answer, he scratched his head and laughed: "Anyway, I will join the army soon. Xu Jingye said that when I join the army, I will have salary, food and accommodation, and I will spend it all."
Qiao Chu was helpless: "Then you don't have to spend everything?"
Chen Qingshan didn't care at all, he only looked at Qiao Chu: "If I don't spend my money on you, who will I spend it on?"
The words of love came so unexpectedly that Qiao Chu was a little startled and looked at Chen Qingshan in shock for a moment.
Chen Qingshan didn't realize that he had said something nice, he just stared at the material: "Look at this fabric, do you like it? Ask Chun Niang to make two sets of clothes?"
Qiao Chu reminded: "You can no longer call me Chun Niang, you have to call me Yuanyuan. Or you can call me sister."
Now that they have become a family, Chun Niang is determined to start a new life, so the previous title is no longer appropriate.
There is not much age difference between Chun Niang and Chen Qingshan. Chen Qingshan is a man and got married late, but Chun Niang got married early, so even Xiao Douding is more than two years old.
"Oh, let's call her sister." Chen Qingshan nodded obediently.
"We can't just go to Yuanyuan to make clothes. They don't owe us anything. We still have our own affairs and children to take care of. I'll just go back and find someone to do it outside." Qiao Chu said seriously.
"Okay." Chen Qingshan nodded again.
Qiao Chu looked at the brightly colored clothes in front of her and imagined how she would feel wearing these red, pink, and green clothes...
Shangxian Qiaochu always only wears blue and white...
That's all, the world is full of smoke and fire.
Qiao Chu decided not to waste these clothing materials.
But Chen Qingshan watched Qiao Chu gesturing with the pile of clothing materials, imagining what the clothes would look like when made from them, and what they would look like when taken off... His eyes gradually darkened.
Xu Jingye said that in half a month at most, he would leave for the frontier fortress...
Time is precious!
Just when Chen Qingshan wanted to do something as a couple, there was a faint voice coming from the yard outside. It was not a familiar person, and the voice was a little sharp.
Is there a guest at home? Why does it seem like there's a quarrel?
Qiao Chu put down the materials: "I'll go out and take a look."
A guest did come to the front yard, a middle-aged woman in rich clothes. Mrs. Dongfang was explaining with an embarrassed look: "This is indeed my daughter Yuanyuan..."
The middle-aged woman had an "I know everything" expression on her face: "Madam, don't be deceived! They knew your family was famous and rich, so they rushed to be related to you!"
There is no way to explain this kind of thing clearly: the more you explain it, the more people will think you are justified and you are a stick.
Ah Qiu and Yuanyuan went to the backyard and didn't want to see each other, thinking about it, they felt embarrassed.
Qiao Chu stood at the door calmly, not shying away, just looking at the middle-aged woman.
Chen Qingshan was afraid that his wife would suffer, so he also stood next to Qiao Chu and looked at the woman.
The middle-aged woman was startled when she saw Qiao Chu and Chen Qingshan standing there: It would still be embarrassing to say bad things about others and have them caught on the spot.
But then, the woman came back to her senses and couldn't help but feel ashamed of her guilty conscience: They were obviously liars, so why did she feel guilty first?
Even if you feel guilty, it shouldn’t be because you feel guilty!
So the middle-aged woman shouted even louder: "What's the matter? You are not ashamed to lie to others, but you still stand up openly?"
Mrs. Dongfang quickly explained: "Old sister, this is not my daughter, this is my adopted son Chen Qingshan and his wife. My legs and feet were cured by my wife here!"
"What?" The middle-aged woman was startled and looked at Qiao Chu, looking up and down. This woman was extremely beautiful and had a refined temperament, but she didn't look like a miraculous doctor.
Stop being a liar again?!
However, Mrs. Dongfang’s legs and feet were really bad once, but now they are really getting better again...
"Did you really heal my old sister's legs and feet?" the middle-aged woman asked dubiously.
Qiao Chu nodded calmly: "Yes."
"I don't believe it. My waist has been sore for a long time. If you cure it for me, I believe you can really cure it." The middle-aged woman said, patting her thick and round waist.
Qiao Chu looked at her waist and said, "It's not curable."
"You said you could heal my sister's legs and feet, what? You can't heal my waist? Don't be a liar, right?" The middle-aged woman's expression immediately became disdainful.
Qiao Chu raised her lips and smiled: "Whether I am a liar or not is not up to you. Whether I can be cured is up to you. I don't have the final say if I don't cure you. Whether you believe it or not is none of my business.
?”
"You..." The middle-aged woman was stunned and couldn't help but look back at Mrs. Dongfang, "Sister, your wife here..."
Mrs. Dongfang was also secretly annoyed that this middle-aged woman had no sense of propriety. She spread her hands and said, "My Chu Chu family has always been casual. If she wants to, she will be treated. If she doesn't, she will not be treated. This has always been the case."
"You..." The middle-aged woman looked at Mrs. Dongfang, then at Qiao Chu, and suddenly laughed, "So, sister, you are grateful for their kindness. Not only did you accept them as adopted sons, but you also happened to be in their home.
Met a woman who was your daughter? Then you brought their whole family to the capital, and let them live in your house, and you still raised them..."
I didn't even mention that Qiao Chu and Chun Niang were both married to each other, and they are relying on the Dongfang couple to suck their blood and grow old!
Mrs. Dongfang was extremely embarrassed: I used to think that Mrs. Yushi was quick-tongued and straightforward, so she had some contacts with her, but I never expected that she would be so lenient and offend others!
Qiao Chu interrupted her and smiled lightly: "You are right...but what does all this have to do with you?"
"You..." Mrs. Yushi was speechless, looking at Qiao Chu and then at Mrs. Dongfang, "If there is any injustice on this road, someone will step on it..."
"You have stepped on someone else's house! This is not a road. It is someone else's house." Qiao Chu pointed out unceremoniously.
Mrs. Yushi had never been criticized in person like this before. She couldn't help but look at Mrs. Dongfang: "Sister, this... this... I am doing this for your own good!"
While Mrs. Dongfang was talking, Xu Jiye and Qiao Xiaofu entered the door one after another. They had gone to see the building before. That building was recommended by His Highness the Prince's cousin. It was on the third floor. There were clothing, makeup, and jewelry shops nearby. The prices were extremely reasonable.
, both of them thought it was a good deal, agreed on a time to sign the contract, and came back very happy.
Who would have thought that before anyone even entered the door, they could hear the sound of arguing inside.
Seeing Qiao Xiaofu and Xu Jiye entering the door, the censor's wife was a little dumbfounded: Isn't this young man the youngest son of Xu Guogong's family?
