Chapter 1067: Liu Ge'er's Visit
After saying that, he looked at Qin Xiaomi and said, "Instead of worrying about your second uncle, you should worry more about Dalang. I'm afraid he really won't be able to come back during the New Year."
Qin Xiaomi was stunned when she heard this.
Aunt Qin became excited when she saw this... Humph, she knew that this girl was pretending to be heartless. Now that she heard that Dalang couldn't come back for the New Year, she was stunned.
But Qin Xiaomi said, "If Second Aunt hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten there was such a person as Jiang Dalang."
And Xu Sanjun, I almost forgot about him.
"..." Aunt Qin glared at her, "You're young and don't know how to cherish. If you really can't be together in the future, you should keep thinking about it for the rest of your life. Just be grateful. Dalang is truly the best match for you."
Aunt Qin looked around and lowered her voice, "To be honest, among all the men in the world, only Dalang treats you as his master and serves you. In other families, women serve men as slaves."
Qin Xiaomi smiled and asked her, "So who is the servant of Second Aunt or Second Uncle?"
"Hey, you little bastard, you don't know how to appreciate kindness." Aunt Qin was angry and said, "Your uncle and I treat each other as equals. We sometimes suffer for each other and sometimes bully each other, but we won't treat each other like Dalang treats you."
That’s why I advise you to cherish your blessings.
Qin Xiaomi: "You and Second Uncle have a normal relationship, so even if you don't have children, no one would suspect you're a fake couple. But the way Jiang Dalang treated me is pure sickness."
"You all think Dalang treats me very well, but the love between husband and wife is not the love between a slave and his master. There have always been big problems between Dalang and me. If we don't solve this problem, no matter how you try to match us up, we won't be husband and wife."
"Hey, stop it. Let's stop talking and have a good New Year first." Aunt Qin was afraid of her, but also hated herself for being too talkative, giving Qin Xiaomi the opportunity to refute and succeed.
"What are you not going to say anymore?" Jiang Xiaozhu ran over from the next room and asked, her eyes full of gossip.
Aunt Qin glared at her: "Xiaomi said she wanted to give you more homework, and I was interceding for her to let you have a good New Year first. You should be grateful to me."
Jiang Xiaozhu didn't believe it: "Aunt Qin, you are just talking nonsense. I don't believe it. You must be talking about other gossip."
Aunt Qin: "Oh, so what? If you want to listen, just pay for it. Otherwise, if you keep pestering me, I will, as an elder, arrange New Year's homework for you. You will spend the New Year doing nothing but eating, sleeping, and writing and doing accounts!"
Humph, Jiang Xiaozhu got angry, turned around and left, and grabbed the leather-wrapped copper wire ball purse around her waist... This was the annual gift from the Xue family to the younger generations of the Qin and Jiang families.
Aunt Qin chirped her, "Look at this money-grubber. He's still worried about losing his money. He can only feel at ease if he touches some."
"Second Aunt, go to bed quickly and stop bullying us youngsters all day long." After Qin Xiaomi said that, she closed her door, took off her clothes and went to bed.
"Don't you youngsters argue with us elders all day long?" Aunt Qin replied and went back to her room to sleep.
Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin heard it and were very happy...A noisy family is what makes a home lively and prosperous.
The next day, Qin Xiaomi went to the medicine shop's specialty hospital for preparing poisonous herbs and making secret weapons.
Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin were worried that Uncle Qin and Qin Xiaogu would be trapped on the road due to the heavy snow, so they took Jiang Erlang with them to organize people and go along the official road to pick up Uncle Qin and the others.
If Uncle Qin and his men's carriages were trapped, their men could also help rescue them.
As the son-in-law, Guan Shuli naturally helped a lot and gave three powerful assassins and ten carriages with anti-slip wheels.
Captain Ling gave ten soldiers, plus Qin Ying and Qin Jie, as well as doctors, charcoal, dry food and other items provided by the Qin family, and the team set out to pick up the people.
Upon learning of the situation while passing through the county town, Magistrate Kang assigned four martial arts masters from the Lu family to accompany the group. The snowfall was extremely heavy, and the accumulated snow was very thick, leaving many pedestrians stranded on the road.
Therefore, ever since the pick-up team left, Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin were waiting anxiously, and they didn't even have a good meal on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month for the New Year's Eve dinner.
The second elder kept muttering, "I wonder where the second elder and Xiao Gu are?"
Qin Xiaomi: "We must be almost to the county town... Grandpa and grandma, don't worry too much. There are definitely more people stuck on the road in this heavy snow than just Second Uncle and Xiao Gu. We're not stupid, so we'll definitely work together to clear the snow so that cars can get home."
It would have been fine if she hadn't tried to persuade him, but once she did, Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin turned their gazes on her and began to interrogate her: "What on earth are you doing? Why is there such a pungent smell lately?"
Qin Xiaomi smiled: "This is the smell of new medicine. This smell is worth a thousand gold."
In fact, she smelled of sulfur.
But not everyone in the Great Wei had ever smelled sulfur, so the two elders didn't know, and she started talking nonsense.
Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin didn't quite believe it, but seeing that she had been tossing and turning for several days without getting poisoned, they didn't say anything. They just said, "No matter how valuable it is, you don't have to do it. You should be more careful and don't get poisoned... Do it for three more days, and stop on the 27th. You can have a good rest for two days and celebrate the New Year."
That won’t do. We must get this weapon.
"Okay, I'll start resting on the 27th." Qin Xiaomi agreed and told Grandpa Qin, "Grandpa, you have an old lung disease. It's cold today, so when you go out, remember to wear the medicated mask I made for you... Grandma can wear it too, it can help keep the cold out of your lungs."
"Okay, we'll remember it." Because of their granddaughter's concern, the two elders' brows finally relaxed a little.
After three more days of worry, on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, news finally came that Uncle Qin and his companions had arrived safely in the county town and would be home the next day.
"Thank God, Your Majesty, and our ancestors for blessing me. I'm finally back!" Grandma Qin happily clasped her hands together and bowed.
Second Aunt Qin also breathed a sigh of relief and was in the mood to tease Grandma Qin: "Grandma, if your eldest niece were here, she would definitely ask you, who blessed you?"
Grandma Qin snorted and scolded Qin Xiaomi: "That girl has no rules. She always makes fun of me for loving to worship gods. Just wait, when she worships the God of Wealth on the fifth day of the New Year, I will laugh at her too."
Hahaha, Aunt Qin laughed out loud when she heard this… Her mother-in-law worships all kinds of gods, but her eldest niece only worships the God of Wealth. She even said a famous saying that she is only superstitious about the God of Wealth.
Grandma Qin also laughed, and the whole house was filled with joy.
The next day, on the afternoon of the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, Uncle Qin Xiaogu finally arrived home.
The guest following behind them was the second village chief's son - Liu Ge'er.
Fortunately, Liu Ge'er knew the rules. When he reached the checkpoint halfway through the street, he stopped and asked Uncle Qin and the others to go home first to inform his family that he would come to apologize. He would come again after the Qin family was willing to see him.
……
"Niece, he's here because of the matter between Bazi and Shanhuai, and he wants to see you. I guess he wants to test your attitude." Uncle Qin explained Liu Ge'er's purpose, wrinkled his nose, and sniffed at Qin Xiaomi: "Why do you smell like yellow brain sand?"
Qin Xiaomi: "Yellow brain sand is a medicinal herb. I'm in the medicinal herb business. There's nothing to be surprised about if I smell like yellow brain sand."
Uncle Qin: "But yellow brain sand is poisonous, and it's also what charlatans use to make elixirs. You wouldn't make elixirs in the herbal medicine shop, would you?"
Qin Xiaomi's eyes lit up.
Uncle Qin's heart skipped a beat, thinking to himself, oh no, he seemed to have given this girl a good excuse!
