Chapter 2415 The Ancestral Grave Is on Fire
Gu Defa explained to her: "It means the smoke coming out of our ancestral graves."
"Hahaha, there is indeed smoke coming out, no, this luck is like the ancestral grave being on fire, and it's burning so brightly!" Mrs. Chen was so proud that she almost flew up.
Magistrate Tang could hardly hold back his expression after hearing this... The ancestral grave is on fire. If you can tell it, aren't you afraid that the fire will be too big and your ancestors will be burned down?
And everyone in the whole city knew about Chen's virtues. In order not to be blamed by her for more than a month, the people who came to watch the fun said obedient words one after another and praised Chen so much that they never closed their mouths.
But Mrs. Chen prefers money to being obedient. She swept around and said, "The day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. My family will start selling snow-skin mooncakes from tomorrow. They cost twenty taels of silver per box. Remember to come and buy them. !”
Twenty taels of silver?
Why don't you go and grab it!
Everyone present was shocked. Sure enough, Mrs. Chen was still Mrs. Chen. Even after suffering for more than a month, this shrew never got rid of her money-grabbing habit.
Gu Dagui said hurriedly: "Don't listen to her nonsense, my family won't sell them so expensively, and if I don't prepare anything this year, I won't be able to make snow-skin mooncakes."
Mrs. Chen: "Nonsense, why can't it be done? The Gan family's grocery store has everything. Just ask the Gan family to deliver it. Don't you think so, Mrs. Gan?!"
After Mrs. Gan learned that the Qin family's title had been restored, she was frightened. She thought it was false news, so she came here to find out the truth. After confirming that it was true, she wanted to sneak back to the countryside and hide for a few days, waiting for Chen's anger to subside. When I came back, I didn't expect this shrew to take revenge so quickly. She was immediately bleeding profusely.
boom!
Mrs. Gan was also a ruthless person, so she smashed her face to the ground and pretended to be stunned.
Mrs. Chen smiled: "Ha, are you going to do this with me? Doctor Liu, Mrs. Gan is fainted, hurry up and give her a look. If she dies in front of my shop, wouldn't it be bad luck for the Marquis Qin's family!"
"Hey, hey, let's go now." Doctor Liu said, and hurried over to check Mrs. Gan's pulse. Mrs. Gan knew that she was trying to help him, so she secretly stuffed him with coins, but Doctor Liu didn't ask for it... I'm sorry, Mrs. Gan, can you? Not as important as the Qin and Gu families
"It's okay, she's just pretending!" Dr. Liu said loudly, causing everyone to laugh.
Shopkeeper Gan blushed when he saw that his daughter-in-law had been humiliated. He handed over his hand to Ms. Chen to apologize: "Shopkeeper Gu, I'm sorry, it's all because of my mother-in-law's ignorance... Glutinous rice, sugar, sesame, peanuts, dried fruits, etc., are all in my shop. They are all here, and I went to the countryside today to bring back a batch of fresh fruits, which I will deliver to your home later."
Mrs. Chen smiled: "Shopkeeper Gan is still a good person, that's it."
Gu Dagui hurriedly said to Shopkeeper Gan: "My family will pay for the goods, Shopkeeper Gan, please don't worry."
Mrs. Chen exploded: "What should I give? How much money has the Gan family made recently by setting up a tea stall based on our gossip? His family should spit out the dirty money they made! Are you right, Lord Magistrate?"
Magistrate Tang also knew that the Gan family grocery store made money by relying on the Qin and Gu family's disaster, and he wanted to punish him. He nodded and said: "Gu Chen is right, the Gan family takes advantage of people's suffering to make money, and they really deserve to be punished... Today is a happy day, so I won’t punish the Gan family too much, so let’s let the Gan family send 50 jins of glutinous rice and 50 jins of sugar to Gu’s shop for free as a punishment.”
"What, giving away glutinous rice and sugar for free? Oh, more than a month of work has been in vain!" Mrs. Gan screamed and really fainted.
Mrs. Chen was happy, but making snow-skin mooncakes requires manpower. The day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and she didn’t have enough manpower, so she captured Chen Ren and his men: “Xiao Dao, you have nothing to do now anyway, hurry up and go to Gan’s house to get groceries. We are moving and grinding the glutinous rice, and my aunt is going to make moon cakes."
Chen Ren knew what she was up to and didn't want to agree, but Chen Ren could make trouble and Chen Ren wanted to lose face. He also admired Qin Sanlang for being able to fight off the bandits, so he could only admit defeat and called to the soldiers: "Come with me to work."
"Yes!" the soldiers responded and quickly got busy.
Mrs. Chen said to the people watching the fun: "We will start selling it early tomorrow morning, twenty taels of silver per box, everyone, remember to come and buy it!"
But Gu Dagui shouted: "Three taels of silver per box, the same as in previous years, no price increase!"
Chen felt like kicking Gu Dagui to death. This idiot didn't even know how to make money.
But Gu Dagui said: "Our family is related to the Marquis family, not bandits who rob the road. Just do business honestly. Don't be too greedy for money."
Gu Dewang nodded: "Dad is right. Mom, please take it easy. Sister Xiaoyu will deal with you if you act too much."
After hearing this, Ms. Chen's anger was suppressed and she could only accept her fate: "Okay, okay, you are all good people, but I am the female bandit who robbed Tao!"
Everyone: "..."
Be humble, you are more greedy than the female bandit.
After Mrs. Chen finished scolding, she smiled at Magistrate Tang and others and said, "Sir, how many boxes do you want? Don't worry, you are the parents of He'an Mansion, my family will give you an extra box."
Send a box? You are so generous.
However, the Qin and Gu families soared, so Magistrate Tang said to him: "Bring thirty boxes to the government office, and we adults in the government office will share them together. This is the money for the mooncakes."
Mrs. Chen immediately took the banknote and said with a smile: "Hey, I will send it to the government office at dawn tomorrow. It won't delay your holiday gifts."
As Magistrate Tang started, everyone else took out their money and shouted: "Mrs. Shopkeeper Gu, we want twenty boxes in our house."
"Our shop wants ten boxes!"
"My family wants three boxes!"
Business was booming, and Ms. Chen was grinning from ear to ear: "Don't worry, everyone, there's everything, there's everything!"
The Gu family shop is busy here, working day and night to make snow-skin mooncakes.
And because the Qin family's title was restored, many wealthy people came here to buy moon cakes. Chen made more than two thousand taels of silver this Mid-Autumn Festival, and everyone went crazy with joy.
But Chen Ren and the others were exhausted. They were busy until August 20th. Chen had to make mooncakes to sell, and had no intention of stopping. They finally gave up and packed up their things and went to the Fucheng garrison camp. Considered escaping.
General Guo smiled when he saw their embarrassed appearance, but what he was happy about was not that Chen Ren and the others were suffering, but that the Qin and Gu families had finally overcome this disaster.
Then he thought of his son Guo Qiang. After this brat learned that the Beijing soldiers had come to besiege Qin Guluotian's family and Shang Xiucai's family, he immediately led the nurse to rush to Dafeng Village and Shangjia Village to protect the families.
The news that came back also said that Brother Qiang traveled back and forth between the two villages every day, and stayed in the camp in Shangjia Village at night. It was said that Shang Xiucai had a small family, and there were still girls and young children, so he was afraid that the Beijing soldiers would make things difficult for them. home, so he had to stay close to protect him, lest something went wrong and Gu Jinan would feel uncomfortable.
Ha, the words were said beautifully, and Gu Jinan was involved, but who didn't know about his careful consideration? Aren't you just interested in the daughter of the Shang family and want to protect her well?
General Guo laughed at his son in his heart, and then thought: It seems that next time he leaves the camp and returns home, he will have to tell his wife about the marriage between Brother Qiang and the daughter of the Shang family. I hope the Shang family will not dislike Brother Qiang for being a martial artist. I can agree to this marriage.
…
At this time, Tianfu County was in an explosion, just because the imperial edict from the capital finally arrived.
"What? Is the Qin family okay? They have restored their title and become a marquis. Is this true or false?"
