Reborn Farmhouse's Small Restaurant [Wears Book]

Chapter 55

The next day, Du Qingchen took Du Rulin to the restaurant. After seeing the running water yesterday, he handed over the restaurant to Du Rulin to take care of him, while he took Su Dong to the county town for shopping.

"Do you want new clothes?" Du Qingchen looked at Du Rulin with a smile, if he could buy two more, Su Dong could also make less.

Du Rulin thought for a while and said, "I want a Confucian robe." He bought the previous one when his family was poor. It was worn long ago. The cuffs and joints were worn and fluffed. The family was poor before. He never said it, and now there is no shortage of money in the family, so Du Rulin brought it up.

Du Qingchen nodded, "Yeah! I forgot, it's really time for you to change into a new Confucian robe, you are now a child, no longer an ordinary private school student, and you will have to take the exam next year, so your clothes can no longer be worn. Feel free to make do, I'll buy you a few new ones, and two more clothes that you can usually attend a literary meeting, after all, you can't always wear a Confucian robe."

Du Rulin's eyes lit up, everyone likes good clothes, so he naturally like! Du Rulin was a little embarrassed again, "Will it be too expensive?" Father Du knew and would definitely talk about them.

"You are a scholar with fame and fame, and you need to keep your face up. Of course, you also need to support your inner self. You should study hard, and if you are tired, study poetry, so that no one will deliberately target you in the future. You won't be able to answer that time, and you'll lose face."

Du Rulin was surprised, his expression became more serious, and nodded, "I know, brother." He is indeed weaker in poetry, but he has better understanding and good reading It is enough to write articles, but if he really wants to write poetry and fighting prose, he really can't do it, and he really should study hard.

Du Qingchen said again: "What book do you want? Let me buy it for you?"

"Eh? Can you?" Du Rulin was surprised. Books were always expensive, and Du Rulin just borrowed books from Master Liu, or went to the bookstore for a while, and even looked at the shopkeeper. Yes, he just borrowed it and copied it. He never thought that he could own books.

"Well, so what do you want?" Du Qingchen nodded.

Du Rulin hesitated for a while, then he wanted too much. He wanted poetry collections, Daxian's annotations, scientific examination transcripts, and even miscellaneous books to read, woohoo, miscellaneous books are not good, the master said , Miscellaneous books move people's minds, and they are useless for the imperial examination, so they should not read them.

Du Rulin struggled for a while, and finally made up his mind with difficulty, "I want books, transcripts or annotations for the scientific examination, as well as the examination papers from previous years."

Du Qingchen nodded, indicating that he remembered it. He went out and drove Su Dong to the county seat with a donkey cart.

The county town is much more prosperous than the small town, the stores on the street are also more abundant than the town, and the goods are more complete than the town. Du Qingchen wants to buy some good-looking and easy-to-use things, and even bought bacon and ham to give away. Father-in-law and mother-in-law, most of the donkey cart was packed in a while, which made Su Dong's heart skip a beat. Their family is already wealthy, but even during the Chinese New Year, there is no such battle!

But thinking that these are what Du Qingchen wanted to buy, Su Dong didn't say a word, but every time he watched Du Qingchen pay out, he felt a pain in his flesh, but after watching for a long time, he was probably numb, and Su Dong gradually calmed down. .

After shopping for a long time, Du Qingchen bought a bunch of food, condiments, and other daily necessities, and then clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's go to the ready-to-wear store and pick out clothes."

Su Dong nodded, and the two of them moved towards the ready- to-wear store. And go.

When Du Qingchen entered the store, he told the shop owner what he wanted to buy. When the other party heard that Du Qingchen wanted to buy so many clothes, he immediately poured tea for the two of them cheerfully, and then let the people bring out the clothes to try on Du Qingchen and Su Dong.

Su Dong went to try it first, and Du Qingchen said, "Is there a Confucian robe here? There are some better gowns."

"Of course there are, the guest officer sits down." The shop owner immediately asked the staff to go to the back to get the clothes, facing Du Qingchen A little embarrassed, he said: "This, the Confucian robe is loose, but the long gown still needs to fit. Dare to ask the guest's stature?"

Du Qingchen made a general gesture and hesitated for a while. He also didn't know whether the gown fit or not, Du Qingchen's eyes turned to the shop assistant, his eyes lit up, he pointed at him and said, "I'll ask this little brother to help you try it! He's similar to my brother's body shape. ." The

young man in the store is not tall, and it looks like Du Rulin's height at the moment, just in time to help.

"That's fine of course." The shop owner immediately asked Xiao Er to change his gown to show Du Qingchen. After picking it back and forth a few times, I only chose two pieces, one of cotton and linen, and one of brocade. The brocade piece is also equipped with a belt of the same fabric. Even if the second child wears it, it looks like a Pretty boy.

Du Qingchen put it away with satisfaction, Su Dong also chose the clothes here, and changed him to try new clothes.

Su Dong was sitting on the chair holding the clothes that Du Qingchen had chosen, waiting for Du Qingchen to change his clothes and come out to see. Two more people entered the store. They seemed to be one master and one servant. There was a carriage parked outside the door. No, Su Dong immediately greeted him.

"Hey, you're here, please come in, the long dress you want is ready, can you take a look?" The shopkeeper's attitude was flattering.

Su Dong also stood up and did not dare to sit any longer. The woman in front of her was wearing a long pink plain gauze dress, her waist was full of hands, and she was also wearing a white jade pendant. In a circle around the store, Su Dong couldn't help lowering his head, faintly ashamed.

The maid behind the woman saw where Su Dong was sitting, and turned to the boss.

The boss immediately said, "Look at me, man, move another stool." The

maid then smiled with satisfaction. The space in the store was not large, so the man had to put the chair next to Su Dong's chair and serve tea. The woman walked over and sat down.

Su Dong stood for a while, always feeling that he had nothing to be afraid of. If Du Qingchen came out later and saw him standing with a woman sitting next to him, he might have misunderstood that he was being bullied. If he explained Now that he stood up by himself, Du Qingchen would definitely sigh to himself again, feeling that he was timid and cowardly, and others didn't do anything to him, so he wouldn't dare to sit.

Thinking of this, Su Dong took a deep breath, pretended that the person in front of him didn't exist, and sat back with his clothes in his arms, attracting a cold glance from the woman, Su Dong just pretended not to see it.

No matter what the maid thinks, Su Dong is inconspicuous. He is just a brother, and he looks like a farmer in his clothes. He even dares to be so close to her master, and she doesn't even glance at her master as if she doesn't exist.

"This little brother, would you please get up?" The maid put on a smile in a good voice, but did not reach her eyes, "My young lady has been suffering from severe chest tightness these days, and it is unpleasant to be so close to her."

Su Dongben He just sat down hard, and when he heard the words, he stood up almost immediately, but after standing up, he realized that he was disgusting him? What kind of chest tightness is simply an excuse! How can he make her chest tight when he sits here? If she is really tight, how can she go shopping and buy clothes in the leisurely mood, and even go into the store, this shop is so small that it makes her chest tight!

Su Dong's face flushed red, and he wanted to fight back, but looking at the woman's clothes, he was afraid that he was not good at arguing with others. In addition to the difference in identity, he was speechless for a while.

The woman just lifted the embroidered handkerchief, pursed her lower lip lightly, didn't say a word, didn't look at where Su Dong was, as if she didn't deserve her attention at all.

Du Qingchen just changed his clothes and came out. Hearing the words of the maid, Du Qingchen glanced up and down at the woman who was sitting. She had a beautiful face and wore a woman's hair in a bun, but the maid called her miss. A very flattering tulle skirt.

The main wife pays attention to being prudent and steady, and the maid will not call her a lady, but a lady, which is also a symbol of status. Since she was a woman who was dressed so cutely despite the cold weather, and was called a miss by the maids, she was only the concubine of a large family.

The concubine's room is not considered a wife's room, so naturally it can't be called a wife, but in the mansion, it is always called a concubine. Express yourself as a wealthy woman, not a man's plaything. And some concubines are also called girls at home, so it is not a violation of the rules.

Du Qingchen chuckled lightly, strode over, stood in front of Su Dong, clasped his fists at the woman and cupped his hands, "This... auntie who doesn't know her surname, if she feels unwell, she still needs to see a doctor, but she can't stand it hard, it's easy to be small. It's not good if the illness drags on into a serious illness, if it's cold today, you should avoid going out and stay indoors to take good care of yourself, and it's best to wear thicker clothes, so that you can be healthy!" The

woman's eyes turned cold as she looked towards Du Qingchen, Du Qingchen's words didn't seem to be a problem, and they were all for her good, but they were all to stab her heart.

First call her auntie, point out her seemingly wealthy but humble status, and then follow the maid's words to curse her poor health, and her minor illness will become a serious illness, and finally let her stay in the house honestly, and despise her coldness In the sky, she dresses lightly, just to please her husband.

The woman's pretty face was frosty, and the maid also heard that something was wrong, and immediately roared, "Bold! My lady is from Feng's house, and my lord is the magistrate of this county, you dare to be presumptuous!"

Du Qingchen was stunned, "I've met Magistrate Feng, and I know he has a concubine, but I don't know who this is?" Du Qingchen said calmly, obscuring the reason why he met Magistrate Feng, and only made people misunderstand him and Feng County. Ling knew each other and had a good relationship, even knowing what concubines were in his family.

When the woman heard this, she froze slightly, and the maid was also dumbfounded for a moment. She didn't dare to say anything, but looked at Du Qingchen suspiciously. This man is not a big squire in the county! They don't have the same clothes, and they don't even know their faces. They all know the people in the county.

The woman has already stood up and bowed, "The maid has no status, I have offended Zuncha, dare to ask your Excellency? Maybe I have heard Zuncha's name from the adults?" The woman said, pointing out that if Du Qingchen lied nonsense, she would be able to knew.

Du Qingchen smiled, "I'm here for Du Qingchen."

Du Qingchen didn't explain much, his expression was very calm, and he looked extremely confident, because he believed that Feng County magistrate would not tell his concubine all the people he was with. , even if she is favored again, the more confident he is, the more the other party will murmur, and he will not dare to mess around.

Besides, she is a charming concubine, arguing with young men outside, does she dare to go back and complain? It is a complaint, so what did he say wrong? Du Qingchen became more and more calm.

The woman seemed to have heard his name, she froze slightly, and raised her head in surprise, "So it's Boss Du, I've heard the name for a long time, but I've never seen it before. It's really disrespectful." The woman's tone softened and she didn't care about herself Lost face.

Du Qingchen was stunned. He didn't believe that the county magistrate Feng really told his concubine about him, but the woman identified him all at once, which made him have some other guesses. The concubine of the magistrate Feng knew him. Then it is very likely that... "The girl's surname is Qiu?"

Seeing Du Qingchen calling her a girl, the woman's face looked better. She nodded respectfully and said, "The Qiu family in the town is my home. My uncle mentioned it before. Boss Du, said that Boss Du is young and promising and has a great future. Looking at it today, it really lives up to its reputation."

Du Qingchen smiled lightly, noncommittal, "I didn't expect the Qiu family to think so highly of me, I'm really flattered."

Seeing that Du Qingchen seemed to have a problem with her family, Aunt Qiu hurriedly wanted to explain something, but Du Qingchen had already turned to Su Dong and said, "Just me. This one! Don't pick it up."

Su Dong nodded, Du Qingchen was about to turn around to change his clothes, Aunt Qiu felt that Du Qingchen was so angry because they had offended this brother just now. Aunt Qiu immediately turned around and blamed Xiao Tao who was behind her, "Don't apologize to this young master soon, it's okay to be arrogant and rude in the mansion on weekdays, and you're still like this outside, how can I take you out in the future? "Speaking, he also raised the handkerchief and pressed the corner of his eyes, as if very aggrieved and helpless. Xiao Tao immediately stepped forward and bowed her head, " Apologize to this young master, and please don't bother

with me, a brutish girl, and Boss Du, don't be angry! It's all my fault."

So he could not let go, Du Qingchen looked at Su Dong, Su Dong raised his head and smiled, he didn't seem to care, Du Qingchen also felt relieved, "It's just a small matter, you don't have to be polite."

Seeing Du Qingchen let go, Aunt Qiu He breathed a sigh of relief. When Du Qingchen changed his clothes and came out to pay the bill, Concubine Qiu saw the Confucian robes and brocade clothes with sharp eyes, and couldn't help but ask, Du Qingchen explained, "I bought it for my little brother, he bought it a few days ago. Taking the test of Tongsheng, he won the first title. I think that he will be a famous person in the future. It is not like he used to buy him some new clothes, so that whether he is going to school exams or participating in poetry collections, he will not be too Lost face."

Concubine Qiu was in a complicated mood for a while, and she was unable to speak.

Du Qingchen didn't care about her, he said it on purpose, after all, if there was no accident, the first-named Tongsheng would definitely be able to pass the exam, even if he was a jinshi, there was hope, and others would always look down on his family.

Du Qingchen paid nearly a tael of silver to buy all the clothes, and even more so, Aunt Qiu crumpled the silk handkerchief in her hands. Even she, with the family's supplies and the monthly money in the mansion, was not the same. Two silver coins, and Du Qingchen was only a commoner, and he even spent a couple of silver coins casually.

Aunt Qiu didn't say a word, and even complained to her elders in her heart that she was going to use her to benefit the family. ? Whatever you do, you must send her to the Feng county magistrate's mansion, and let her serve a man who can be her father. She is not a wife, and she will never get ahead.

Du Qingchen didn't care what Aunt Qiu thought and left the store with Su Dong. After walking a long way, Su Dong said with emotion, "She looks bright and beautiful, but she doesn't seem to be suffering."

"How do you know?" Du Qingchen was funny , pulled the car and walked in front.

"I can see it! She talked softly afterwards, and she didn't seem to be doing well." Su Dong said silently.

Du Qingchen said: "Yeah! Whether it's a servant or a concubine, it's not that easy. How can there be such a good thing in this world, let you go to the sky in one step, and you don't have to suffer a little grievance?"

"So you don't want to follow The Tao family." Su Dong said.

"Yes! That's why I don't want to." The

two went back to town after shopping. On the other side, Concubine Qiu didn't have the heart to continue shopping. She ordered clothes at will, paid the money, and went back to the mansion. After arriving at Feng county magistrate, she also chatted about Du Rulin. She only said that she bumped into Du Qingchen's husband at the ready-to-wear shop, and after a few casual chats, she learned that the second son of the Du family had won the first place in Tongsheng.

The county magistrate Feng was both surprised and couldn't help but ponder, "The last time I saw that kid named Du Qingchen, I thought he was not too old, so isn't his younger brother even younger this year? He can be ranked first in the exam at a young age... ..." Not to mention that the talents are stable, and after a few more years of study, it will not be a problem to raise people!

Feng county magistrate thought for a while, and said to the woman next to him, "Didn't you keep saying that you wanted to go to the Du family restaurant? Tomorrow is just fine, why don't I accompany you?

" As a concubine, there are few opportunities to go out, and I can't go far. Basically, the only places I can go are jewelry and clothing stores. Going to other places must be eye-catching. She did not expect the county magistrate Feng to accompany her there. Of course, she is not greedy for eating at the restaurant in the town, but Aunt Qiu is still happy. After all, the town is where her home is. Since it is rare to go back, she must not pass through the door! With county magistrate Feng accompanying her, she returned to her parents' home this time, but she was very proud.

Aunt Qiu didn't know Feng County Magistrate's thoughts, but she was secretly happy.
