Rebirth of Okuki Kofuro

Qu Yaowen also knew that marrying Zhao Wan'er would not help his career in the imperial examination at all. Before he made this decision, he had already weighed all the pros and cons in his mind.

The problem is, he made a mistake after the Liang family was pissed off. This mistake can be big or small. If it hadn't been seen by others, he would not have married Zhao Wan'er. Now in this situation, he was worried that the Zhao family would make a mess of it just to let him marry Zhao Wan'er. Bad his reputation, after all, there are witnesses.

In Qu Yaowen's heart, he is a favorite. He has the talent for reading and is confident that he can pass the examination of scholar and even be a scholar, so he feels that the Zhao family will not let such a promising son-in-law like him go.

As for whether the Liang family deliberately set up a scheme to harm him, Qu Yaowen thinks it shouldn't be. Liang Kangsheng and the others didn't know that they would go in advance, and they looked like they didn't welcome him. Besides, if they really planned , It’s over if you just revealed the matter yesterday.

Qu Yaowen looked at his mother: "In the past two days, I have to ask my mother to inquire about the situation of the Zhao family. The more careful the better, the sooner the better."

Mrs. Zhong still wanted to say something, but Qu Yaowen said it and left straight away: "Mother, I'm going back to the house to read a book for a while, and the school will resume classes in a few days, so I can't miss my homework."

The Zhao family's affairs have not yet been written down, and the most important thing now is their son's study. Seeing this, Zhong had no choice but to agree, and when she went to find out about the Zhao family, she would plan together with her son.

Since Mrs. Zhong has decided to follow her son's wishes, there will naturally be no disturbances on Qu Zhicai's side. Mrs. Zhong has fooled Qu Zhicai with a few words, let alone Mrs. Qu. When facing the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law's husband, she is very majestic, but when facing the fifth daughter-in-law, it is as if she is seeing her own mother-in-law, and she is extremely obedient.

For this marriage, the Zhao family and the Qu family have their own plans. One is to stand still and use Joe as a gesture to raise their own value;

At this time, the matter that Liang's father asked others to help with the investigation also had a clue. He looked at each letter and was so angry that his hair stood on end.

In the early years, he went out to sell the wine by himself. Although the wine was handed over to his wife and brother for sale in the next few years, the contacts he managed before were still there. What happened to the rumors about his own wine? Just ask the letter and you will know.

After the banquet, the replies came to Liang's father one after another, and almost all the evidence found pointed to one person - Zhuang Qingze.

He said this when he was selling wine outside last year, and it was very subtle and not obvious at the time. This year, when he went out to sell fabrics, he acted as if he didn't care anymore, and directly stated that there was something wrong with the Liang family's wine.

If Zhuang Qingze just said a few bad things about the Liang family outside, it would not be difficult for Liang's father to accept it, because Liang's father had already known that he was psychologically prepared, so there were three letters asking Liang's father's winery if something really went wrong. The taste of wine in the past two years seems to be a little weaker than the previous two years?

How can the taste of wine become weaker?The Liang family's wine has always been brewed with high-quality grain, and it can only be made after several months of storage. It never adds a drop of water to the wine. There is only one possibility for the wine to taste weak, and that is Zhuang Qingze adding water privately.

The reason why those old folks didn’t write to Father Liang before was because they believed in the wine of Liang’s family and Father Liang’s character, and the taste of the wine didn’t change much. Difficult to distinguish.

Although Zhuang Qingze is dishonest in his business, he is not out of his mind. If he really adds a lot of water to it, someone who knows how to taste wine will be able to taste the difference in one sip, so he only dares to add it little by little, every year. The amount is more than that of the previous year, and the change in the taste of the wine has not become obvious until the last two years.

Father Liang was holding the letter paper, and the veins on the back of his hand were bulging. No wonder this man dared to speak out that there was something wrong with the Liang family's wine. It turned out that he had already started to damage the Liang family's reputation, that is, he trusted him and never asked.

Walking around the yard several times with hands behind their backs, the anger in my heart could not be dissipated. After thinking about it, Father Liang went back to the house and took up a pen to write a letter. .

Naturally, Father Liang's letter to the Zhuang people would not clearly describe what he had investigated. He chose a few clues that were vague and easy to follow, and then wrote them in a way of confusion and asking for help. Attitude, please check the dealer for help.

As long as the Zhuang family really wants to make friends with the Liang family, then he won't ignore this letter when it goes there, but if he goes to check, he can find Zhuang Qingze's tail. For the clansmen, what will the young patriarch of the Zhuang clan do.

At the same time, Father Liang was also thinking about how to make his wife more aware of Zhuang Qingze's problem. He felt that he should speed up.

After writing the letter to the young patriarch of the Zhuang clan, Father Liang's anger was almost vented, and he began to seriously think about the plan he had thought about before.

Because he had to be busy with family affairs at the time, he thought about it and put it aside temporarily. Now it seems that he was still too soft-hearted at that time, and he should be more ruthless to some people like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves.

A total of seven or eight letters were received. Father Liang wrote more than a dozen letters this afternoon and asked Liang Mao to send them out for him. A small half of them were to thank those friends who were willing to help him find out the matter, and the rest were for him to ask other people for help. instruction of.

Mrs. Zhuang looked at Liang's father who had been busy all day, and brought a bowl of nourishing soup to him: "Master, it's not the busiest season yet, so take care of yourself."

If it was the busiest time of the Liang family, no matter how distressed Mrs. Zhuang was, she would not say a few words. She would just silently help Liang's father to take care of other trivial matters, so that he would not have to worry about other things in the family besides hard work. thing.

Father Liang packed all the letters he had received and put them in the drawer with a natural expression: "Don't worry, I'm not busy with worrying things, but I just asked someone how to find a tenant farmer."

The fields bought by the Liang family have now been planted with beans, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, which can be fertile or easy to grow.

I use the mountain spring dug out of the mountain to irrigate the trees and fields. Perhaps the mountain spring is sweeter than the river water, which is better for crops. All the newly planted fruit trees have survived.

Now that these fields are almost tidied up, they just need to take care of them like other farmlands. It is time to hire tenant farmers who work steadily. There is no need to invite people from the surrounding villages to come only during slack hours.

Mrs. Zhuang nodded when she heard the words: "Well, you really should ask, we have no experience."

It can be said that none of their family knows how to grow crops. Yi Geer, a younger brother, didn’t work in the fields very much when he was in the Qu family. As for hiring tenant farmers, he has even less experience. .

Father Liang had asked someone about what he should pay attention to when hiring tenant farmers, and he would naturally not reveal his secrets when he said it now. He talked with Mrs. Zhuang about how to choose the tenant farmers to hire, and discussed how to accommodate them when the tenant farmers came.

Because the things in my mind have always been related to Zhuang Qingze, and now I am talking about arranging a piece of land for the tenant farmers and simply repairing a house, a thought suddenly popped up in Father Liang's mind: "Qing Rong, why don't we go tomorrow Go to the county seat and ask Qingze if he knows any reliable tenant farmers, he must have met a lot of people from traveling all over the world every year, and by the way, I have to ask him what plans he has next."

"Well, it's okay, but do you want someone to tell you in advance?" Zhuang looked at the sky outside and was a little bit embarrassed. It might be a little late for someone to tell now.

"No need, it's not like visiting some friend's elder's house, just casually." Liang's father frowned slightly and retorted.

Zhuang Qingze never greeted the Liang family in advance when he came to the Liang family. If he did, it would also mean that he wanted to ask the Liang family for help. And every time they went to Zhuang Qingze's house in the county town, he would tell them in advance and prepare big and small bags. things, as if they were juniors.

Mrs. Zhuang felt that what Liang's father said made sense, but also thought that he hadn't talked to his younger brother properly this year. It would be better to hit the sun if he chose a day, or go to the county to see him tomorrow.

With the previous conversation about his younger brother, Zhuang also restrained his concern for his younger brother. Thinking about it carefully, not only this year, but in recent years, they have talked less and less.

After making a decision, Mrs. Zhuang enthusiastically prepared what to bring to his younger brother's house tomorrow. He could neither bring too much nor too little, which was really embarrassing.

Liang's father had just thought about it for a while, when he saw Mrs. Zhuang holding a piece of material that was probably rose red and asked him: "Master, the running water mat at home has basically used up all the food that can be used, and only food is left. Take it to them. No need, how about I just pack a few feet of summer materials for them?"

The material is cloth, which does not take up much space, and it is a summer material, so it looks even thinner, and it seems to be nothing in the hand.

Father Liang looked at the stack of materials in her hand, and almost didn't laugh. He really didn't expect his wife to say that she would bring such a "gift" to see Zhuang Qingze. He just wanted to persuade her later, Take out what you can't take.

"Well, it's up to you to make a decision." Father Liang's answer obviously expressed his approval of Zhuang's arrangement.

Mrs. Zhuang was still a little apprehensive at first, wondering if there would be too little fabric if she brought it there by herself. After asking Father Liang, she was relieved and decided to go there like this.

The next day, Father Liang and Mrs. Zhuang went out, looking at the obviously loaded bag in his wife's hand, hesitating to speak.

"It's some rags." Mrs. Zhuang explained with some embarrassment. She only brought too little summer material. After much deliberation, she finally decided to add something—a lot of rags had been accumulated at home.
