Chapter 317 Upright
Chapter 317 Upright
"You guys say, since Lady Qin has earned so much money, she should be leaving soon, right? Our small mountain village can't hold her. Didn't you see that they sent so many gifts that there's no place to put them? They even specially sent a house to put the gifts."
"Don't just look at how much she has earned. Look at her abilities as well. She's been awarded by the imperial court. The days of great profit are yet to come."
The words of the villagers' discussion entered Mo Ruyue's ears. Recently, her ears were so worn out by these words that calluses were about to form. It was a pity that her five senses were too sharp, and it was impossible to block them even if she wanted to.
However, Mo Ruyue had always been deaf to these insignificant words. Moreover, they didn't dare to say these things in front of her, so she pretended not to hear them.
"Take Qinghao to Grandma Liu's house to help with the New Year's Eve dinner. Leave the house to Mother. When everything is done here, I'll get Qinghong to call you."
Mo Ruyue called out to Qin Qingyan.
This had been discussed with the Liu couple before. Every family that had the means would prepare a reunion dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve. Even if the Liu couple wanted to spend it with Mo Ruyue's family, they wouldn't leave their own cold pot and stove without the new year's flavor.
It was said that this wouldn't bring good luck to the coming year. Although Mo Ruyue didn't really believe in these things, seeing that the people around her attached great importance to it, she followed the good advice.
"Alright, I'll take Qinghao there first."
As Qin Qingyan spoke, he took the ingredients he had prepared last night and brought Qin Qinghao to Aunt Liu's house.
Mo Ruyue was also ready to show off her skills today. She had already prepared the ingredients according to the recipe of the Manchu Han Imperial Feast. Some of the dishes that required a long time to cook had already been prepared as early as two days ago. Today was just the last step.
As soon as she entered the kitchen, she turned to look at the Liu family's residence and narrowed her eyes.
It seemed that the convoy today had really provoked a lot of people. They had already begun to get close to each other without caring about their face.
In the Liu family's house, several villagers were holding tea and smiling at Aunt Liu. It looked like they had come in advance to congratulate the new year, but not only was there no smile on Aunt "Aunt Liu, you also want to see everyone in our village get along with each other, right? Now, only you and your husband are close to Lady Qin and can talk to her, so it shouldn't be difficult to just Liu's face, but there was also a slight frown.
"Madam Liu, you see, we're all from the same village. Isn't it good for everyone to get closer to each other? Why are you so hesitant?"
These villagers were all old women. Obviously, they came to find Madam Liu to play the card of friendship from the same village.
One of the women saw that Madam Liu didn't speak for a long time and couldn't help but smile and persuade her.
"That's right, that's right. After all, the five children lived in the village for a period of time. We all felt sorry for them. Now that we see them living well, we are really happy for them."
"Aunt Liu, you also want to see everyone in our village get along with each other, right? Now, only you and your husband are close to Lady Qin and can talk to her, so it shouldn't be difficult to just mention it a little, right?"
"That's right. We're not asking you to do anything against your conscience. We're just saying a few words about how we took care of the five babies back then. We're already very grateful to you."
Everyone spoke one after another. Although they all said that they only needed to mention one sentence, their words carried a sense of both carrot and stick. They also deliberately mentioned the relationship between Madam Liu and Mo Ruyue. Obviously, they were reminding her not to "eat all the food alone."
"You mean, you want me to help you remind Lady Qin that she owes you a favor?"
Madam Liu said it bluntly, making the faces of several villagers suddenly change after hearing it, and suddenly they were somewhat embarrassed.
"Aunt Liu, you can't say it like that. We just saw that you and Lady Qin's relationship is close, and thought that since we are all from the same village, it would be better to get closer to each other. How come when these words come out of your mouth, it sounds so bad?"
The smile on the woman's face had already frozen. She wanted to fall out with him, but she didn't dare to make their relationship too stiff. In the end, her words still carried a hint of complaint.
"It's true that I have a good relationship with Lady Qin, but what I said just now is not true? Although her personality is a little cold, she is very reasonable. If you treat her with your heart, how can she ignore you?"
Aunt Liu said and then smiled lightly: "Do you really think that such a method will work on her? Instead of thinking about how to play tricks, it's better to think about how to exchange sincerity for sincerity, which is more realistic."
"Aunt Liu, are you afraid that if our relationship with Lady Qin gets better, you won't be able to get any benefits, or are you afraid that we'll share your things?"
The other woman was even more impolite. The smile on her face just now had completely disappeared. She turned hostile faster than turning a page in a book.
After she finished speaking, there was really someone who wanted to nod and echo her, but after seeing Madam Liu's eyes looking over, they immediately stopped their actions.
"Whatever you say. I'm not afraid of what you say."
Madam Liu was too lazy to argue for herself now. In any case, whether she did it or not, these people would not change anything.
It was no wonder that Lady Qin wanted to leave this village. It was not only because she had accumulated a certain amount of wealth and wanted to give the children a better education and living standard, but also because once she got entangled with these people, there would be no end.
"Grandma Liu, Qinghao and I are here to help you with the New Year's Eve dinner.
Qin Qingyan's voice suddenly came from outside the door. The women in the room were stunned, and their faces suddenly showed surprise.
"Oh, why are Qingyan and Qinghao here? Are you helping Aunt Liu with the new year's dinner? You guys are so obedient!"
A woman quickly went out to greet him. As she spoke, she reached out to take the basket of ingredients from Qin Qingyan's hands.
"Look at the good quality streaky pork and two fish inside. There are about seven to eight catties, right? It's winter, it's rare to eat fish even in the city. Look at Lady Qin, she just gave two away."
Qin Qingyan took a step back and blocked Qin Qinghao and the baskets in their hands behind him. He said politely, "Aunt, we're just here to get the things. It's not far from the kitchen. Are you here to help Grandma Liu with the New Year's Eve dinner?"
Although the woman's hand fell on empty air, the smile on her face did not decrease in the slightest, and her attitude was much better than when she faced Madam Liu.
"Qingyan, why aren't you at home helping your mother with the New Year's Eve dinner? Instead, you've come to Aunt Liu's place. The relationship between your two families is really good."
The woman asked again, trying to probe the two babies. She was trying to get close.
"Tonight, Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu will be spending New Year's Eve with our family. Mother said that we have to help Grandma Liu prepare the New Year's Eve dinner before we go home together."
Qin Qingyan answered every question she asked, causing Qin Qinghao to turn his head to look at him.
