Poor Liu Qiqiao cooks medicine for Shen Yunong every day, watching him take the bowl of medicine, but he doesn’t know what the medicine is for, but he knows that Xiang Gong’s body is still not well. This is what Doctor Sun called him. She cooked it up for him.
She didn't know that Aunt Zhou hated her and her teeth were tickling.
In this way, Liu Qiqiao did often follow Shen Yunong, sometimes strolling in the yard, sometimes going to Zhuangzi.
It's not that Shen Yunong likes Liu Qiqiao so much, but that she doesn't say a word, follows by her side, and uses it smoothly. At this time, the second young master Shen Yuyuan often follows them.
The reason why Shen Yunong feels nervous is because he has always thought that his brother-in-law is shallow and indifferent, and his talent also looks at Zhuangzi.
However, when he went to the village Zhuangzi, he knew that the truth was not entirely true.
My second brother can be said to be very capable and wise.
Even if he manages this stall in the countryside by himself, he may not have the ability of his second brother.
The Shen family’s land originally had two to three million mu of fertile land, but some of it was sold because of an accident. Even so, it now has more than 100,000 mu. Therefore, it is not a lie to say that the original Shen family was rich in the enemy's country.
And under the management of the second young master Shen Yuyuan, the Shen family's property in the countryside is also quite impressive.
There are six or seven wineries in the Shen family, distributed in the fields of Zhuangzi and other Shen family.
Shen Yunong went back to the wine shop for the first time, only to realize that after he took over, Shen Yuyuan had dug more than a dozen wine cellars and sealed the wine underground according to the age. In the longest year, there were ten years of fine wines.
After he heard Shen Yuyuan say this, he asked him to send someone to dig out a jar of wine for ten years.
Open the sealed wine jar, and haven't drunk it, the mellow aroma of the wine has drifted out.
It is fermented and brewed from five grains. Shen Yu tasted the taste. It was really sweet and mellow. He saw Liu Qiqiao with a curious look on his side, and he naturally passed the wine spoon in his hand to Liu Qiqiao. "Taste it, not bad..."
Although Liu Qiqiao looked novel, he still shook his head.
Shen Yunong smiled and said: "Taste a bite, you won't be drunk!"
Liu Qiqiao took Shen Yunong's hand and took a sip, ah, it was spicy at first, the mouth was soft, but the stamina was long, and there was a sweetness in his throat...
"En!" Liu Qiqiao said naturally, "Good wine!"
Shen Yunong turned his head and looked at her with a smile: "You can still drink it?"
Liu Qiqiao smiled embarrassedly: "Daddy and brothers also drink, I give them a drink, and sometimes, dad will let me have a taste!"
Shen Yunong nodded. Put down the wine spoon, looked at the densely packed wine in the wine cellar, and said, "How many are there like this?"
Shen Yuyuan said a number, and Shen Yunong raised his eyebrows, unexpectedly there would be so many.
Where is the wine, it's all money, and it's normal for such a good wine to be sold in the capital. It's normal for a jar to sell for more than ten taels.
Today in Taiping, how many people imitate Li Taibai: "The emperor can't come to the court, claiming to be a minister is a wine immortal!" Especially for this kind of wine, as long as the statement is passed, the people who come to fight must be crowded in the alley. .
"This altar has already been opened, so move back home and have a family dinner in the evening to celebrate!" Shen Yunong said, "Although he was forced to move here, I have to celebrate the housewarming!"
When Shen Yuyuan heard this, he asked someone to move the altar to it and sent it straight back to the house.
Shen Yunong and Shen Yuyuan walked in front, Liu Qiqiao followed behind, and did not accompany people. In this country, the red tape was saved. Shen Yunong was also wearing an ordinary long gown, Liu Qiqiao didn't have to deliberately, she only had this new skirt on her.
Lan Xiang also said this morning that now the second aunt is in charge of the management, and the second aunt has always been a good temperament. He asked Liu Qiqiao to ask her for one or two fabrics to make a skirt, but Liu Qiqiao was a little embarrassed. Now , I haven't figured out how to open this mouth.
Shen Yunong, accompanied by Shen Yuyuan, took Liu Qiqiao and walked through the rest of the workshop.
Local women were recruited in the cloth weaving workshop and dyeing workshop, but there was no clothing workshop, and all they made were coarse cloth. They are all directly supplied to the people in Shenjiazhuang.
Shen Yunong nodded, not very interested, because the fabrics were really crude, and he thought he could only produce and sell them.
After coming out of the cloth shop, I went to the sesame oil shop, the horse farm, and the livestock pen.
With a rough estimate of his family's current wealth, Shen Yunong only felt tight in his chest.
Although it is still not enough for the four walls of the house, there are only these small workshops in the Shen family now.
With a long sigh, Shen Yunong walked in front with his arms folded, a depressed breath in his chest that could not be relieved.
The second young master Shen Yuyuan followed and saw his brother shaking his head and sighing. He knew what his brother was sighing. He was also a little sad. When he turned his head and saw Liu Qiqiao, the sadness disappeared.
Liu Qiqiao bent over to stand aside, picked a bunch of wild flowers, and weaved them into the shape of a garland.
Feeling that the Second Young Master was looking at her, she turned her head and said, "Does it look good?" She smiled. Only these few days have been together, but there is almost no communication between the two people.
After seeing Liu Qiqiao's question, the second young master put the wreath on his head without waiting for him to answer.
Liu Qiqiao was originally in the countryside, and often made such flower baskets during the slack in the farming period. Now his hands are itchy for a while, but he forgets that he is combing a high flying bun instead of the ordinary double bun and wreath when he is not married. On the top of the head, I can't get it off for a long time.
Seeing that her face was red with anxiety, the second young master stretched out his hand, Liu Qiqiao lowered him a lot, and his height easily brought the wreath to Liu Qiqiao.
Liu Qiqiao smiled and raised his head: "Thank you!" Then he asked, "Does it look good?"
Shen Yuyuan looked at Liu Qiqiao. She was very small, with a big slap face, narrow apricot eyes and peach blossoms. She smiled, her nose wrinkled, and a handsome face.
The second young master mumbled.
At this time, I heard a soft cough from someone behind him, and then Shen Yunong made a slightly dissatisfied voice: "Qiqiao, what are you doing?"
He had just walked a few steps, but he didn't see the people behind to follow him. When he turned around, he saw that his second brother was wearing the wreath for Liu Qiqiao.
Liu Qiqiao unintentionally asked his second brother whether he was okay
Shen Yuyuan stepped back and waited for his brother to come over. Shen Yunong was very impatient and tore off the wreath on Liu Qiqiao's head: "It looks like a child in the countryside, don't wear it!"
Liu Qiqiao's hair bun was pulled crooked by him, and his hair was so rudely pulled by him. When he was reprimanded like this, Liu Qiqiao couldn't come to the stage, tears in his eyes.
Actually, Shen Yunong just watched her stand with Shen Yuyuan in their youth, and the scene where Shen Yuyuan gave her a wreath was so eye-catching, so he became uncomfortable.
Liu Qiqiao is seventeen years old, and the second young master Shen Yuyuan is twenty years old. He is very young. Shen Yunong never feels that he is very old, but he who is twenty-seven years old is much more mature than them. Seeing them two, one With the appearance of a child, she couldn't help but get angry.
On the way back, Shen Yuyuan and Liu Qiqiao, who were already speechless, both closed their mouths. Shen Yunong knew that he was a little too much just now, but it was difficult to take back what he said. He felt the obvious alienation of the two people behind. He was a bit awkward, but it was difficult for him to admit Liu Qiqiao's mistake in front of his younger brother, and walked forward stiffly.
In the evening, the jar of wine was opened, and the yard was full of wine.
Shen Zhai held a family banquet for the first time after Shen Yunong and the others returned.
All the Shen family were present, and even Huangfu Haoyue was also sitting in the table.
Two twin daughters, Nianci and Nianen, played cat-catching in the yard accompanied by a maid, and two children from the local cook’s house accompanied them. The two children of one boy and one girl are better than two. The little lady was old and noisy. She had never studied, and she hadn't been restrained by the rules. At this time, the two sisters, Nian Ci Nianen, under their leadership, their voices became higher.
Mrs. Shen didn't like it very much, but Mrs. Shen smiled and said, "Follow them. I haven't seen them so much fun. This is a child!"
There are only four children, but the whole courtyard is full of laughter.
Shen Yunong sat here with his wives and concubines, watching the children and laughing.
As the mother of the two young ladies, the second aunt is naturally happy, but the other aunts are a little jealous.
Shen Xiurong, Shen Yunong's sister, walked over at this moment.
Shen Xiurong was seventeen years old. There were people who came to propose marriage two years ago and after Huobi, but both Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Shen were reluctant to marry her so young.
Thinking of staying at home for two more years, getting older, and marrying again, but now, like the Shen family, this begging person will probably not come back again. This, Shen Xiurong’s marriage, has become Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Shen again. Mrs. Shen's heart is sick.
Shen Yunong watched the sister come over, and pointed to the seat next to Mrs. Shen, and smiled and let her sit down.
According to her identity, Shen Xiurong greeted everyone present one by one.
She smiled at Liu Qiqiao. Liu Qiqiao was in the last seat of the other table, facing her. Liu Qiqiao hurriedly smiled back.
People in the Liu family are all born well. Shen Yunong needless to say, Shen Yuyuan is also bright and beautiful. Shen Xiurong is also born with pink face and vermilion lips, her eyebrows are as distant as mountains, and her eyes are like autumn water. Sitting there, she curls up and is a beautiful woman.
Liu Qiqiao retracted his gaze. The female family members all over the room were dressed in silk and silk. Even though they were not as dazzling as the jewels in the Shen Mansion, they still wore hairpin rings. They only wore hairpins. A new skirt, because it has been worn for a few days, it is not too new, and on the head is the only silver hairpin.
She shrank her chest quietly, trying to make herself inconspicuous.
She was really inconspicuous, Shen Yuyuan and the housekeeper were sitting at another table not far away, together with Mr. Xixi and a few accountants.
Mr. Xi Xi was the teacher who taught Shen Xiurong, but now he is teaching two young ladies.
The Shen family has believed in the heirlooms of poetry and etiquette since Mr. Shen's time. The wish of Mr. Shen is that the Shen family will be carried forward. The younger generations will definitely have people who can learn literature and become officials. Even girls must learn the Four Books, Five Classics, and Tang Poetry. Song Ci or something, so Mr. Xi Xi is kept in the family all the year round. Even now, when the Shen family is forced, Mrs. Shen will also take Mr. Xi Xi with him.
