Nongmen Space: A full-level villain dressed as a pitiful girl

Chapter 155

"Yeah, I can't stand the sudden heat, just get used to it."

While talking, the sound of a carriage came from outside, "Ah, Ji Kang and Jinnian came here with a carriage, it's not too late yet."

Not long after, Ji Kang entered the living room with a large porcelain basin in his hand, and grinned when he saw everyone was there.

"My wife made a milk cake, let us send it over"

"Great, it's so hot I can't breathe"

Mrs. Gong hurriedly ordered her servants to fetch bowls and spoons, one bowl for you, one bowl for me, and soon finished the bowl. Seeing that Ji Kang and Jinnian hadn't touched the bowl, she said:

"Eat it too"

“ate at home”

"You can eat it after you eat it. If you don't eat two more bowls, we won't share it evenly."

Ji Kang and Jinnian had no choice but to eat. The Gong family ate milk cakes contentedly. Mrs. Gong looked at Ji Kang and asked:

"Miss Xi'er probably needs ice to do this, right?"

"I don't know, she doesn't like to be disturbed when she is doing things"

"Have you stocked up on ice in winter?"

"Probably not, but I don't know too well. I seldom ask about family affairs. I will do whatever my wife tells me to do."

After hearing this, Mrs. Gong pondered for a while, but did not pursue further.

Later in the afternoon, Xi'er sent someone to deliver a cart of ice to Xiao's house, and a cart of ice to Gong's house. They were all big square ice cubes, crystal clear.

It looks like it was frozen with clean water. There should be no other way to make it like this except to stock up on ice in winter.

Everyone is used to Xi'er always making unexpected things. It must be that she hoarded them without others knowing, and no one guessed deeply.

With these ices, the life of the three families is much easier. Shopkeeper Xu and Shopkeeper Su knew that she had ice in her hand, so they all came to ask for it.

Xi'er was not stingy either, the family gave a lot, even the shopkeeper of the teahouse came, he didn't dare to open his mouth to ask for it, and wanted to pay for it, Xi'er didn't refute his face, and sold him a few carts.

With ice, the teahouse can keep cool and retain people. Although it costs a little money, it is worth it.

In fact, Xiao's family also has ice kilns, but there are not many in his family. He originally wanted to divide them up, but before they were divided, Xi'er sent someone to send them over.

Now that the Luo family has ice, let the whole town know.

If you have a good relationship, ask for it, and if you have a normal relationship, buy it. Everyone wants to experience the cool feeling in summer.

On June [-]th, Luo's shop officially sells ice cubes, shopkeeper Fang and the others also soak up the ice because there is ice in the shop, and the whole shop is refreshed.

I don't know why, although everyone is curious and doubts the origin of the ice, but they all bury these things in their hearts and shut them down together.

As long as there are good food to eat and ice cubes to use, it is useless to say that.

As soon as July entered, God began to rain in the north, mile after mile, every now and then.

Especially the rain in mid-July, which almost caused floods. Luckily, Xi'er led people to find Xiao's house in the rain. Under the leadership of Xiao Tianbao and Xiao Jian, all men in the town's middle age were mobilized.

That day, they were drenched to the ground, and with hoes and shovels, they dredged the drainage ditch on the side of the road. All the rainwater in the whole town was drained into the low-lying and deep pits. Because of the timely treatment, No one has suffered any loss.

But the fact that Huaishu Town didn't suffer any losses doesn't mean it didn't happen anywhere else.

A lot of villages suffered a lot of losses, Qi Yuan led the officials and inspected the entire Pingyuan County on horseback.

And called all the wealthy households in the county to the county government for a meeting. The main purpose is to raise donations. The content of the donations is not just money, but food is the most important thing.

As friends, Luo's family and Xiao's family took the lead to donate [-] catties of grain, shopkeeper Xu and Su shopkeepers donated [-] catties of dry noodles, and other merchants in Huaishu Town donated [-] catties of grain.

Even in Yangliu Village, a family donated a hundred catties of grain. Seeing this, the rich couldn't sit still and donated money and grain one after another.

Their fundraising made Qi Yuan, the county magistrate, feel a lot less pressure, because this season, the disasters in the north were far less severe than those in the south.

The imperial court didn't take care of this at all, so the local parents and officials had to find a way, so the post of county magistrate, saying that it was really related to the life and death of the people, was nothing at all.

The villagers of Yangliu Village also admired Xi'er even more from this incident, and obeyed her words.

At the beginning of September, when the rainy season was over, Qi Yuan rushed to Huaishu Town after finishing his official duties, and thanked each family. His actions were praised by the people. How many officials in the world would do this?

He was sitting in the living room of Xiao's house, accompanied by Xiao Tianbao and his son, Xi'er was also called over, Qi Yuan felt the coolness in the room.

"I said Xiao Jian, is your house still stockpiling ice at this time?"

"It's been used up a long time ago, and now I'm using ice from Xi'er's house."

Qi Yuan turned his head, "Does your Luo's shop sell ice?"

"Yes"

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Aren't you busy?"

"Oh, my sister Xi'er is so mean"

"We don't want to be troublesome, after all, your family, so why not?"

Qi Yuan was taken aback, and asked cautiously, "Do you all know about my wife?"

"Yeah, I didn't tell you because I was afraid it would affect the harmony of your family."

Qi Yuan sighed, "My family is unfortunate, I actually married a duplicitous woman back home"

Xiao Jian asked curiously, "After we left that day, nothing happened, right?"

"They're not outsiders, so I won't hide it from you. My old wife looted three big boxes of jewels from somewhere, and half of them were Zixuan's wife's dowry.

She also snatched the gift from your two families to the children. After I found out, I went to ask her for it. Not only did she refuse to give it, but she was also full of lies. I should hit a woman, but that day almost drove me crazy."

"What about after the fight?"

"I confiscated those jewels and handed them over to my daughter-in-law. From now on, I will let Qi Xuan and his wife take care of the Qi family's housework. As for her, let's see what happens later."

"Look, let me say that it's hard for an upright official to break up housework,"

"Stop talking nonsense"

Qi Yuan gave Xiao Jian a white look, "I am a grandfather now, and I can't do the business of divorce. Even if I divorce, I don't plan to marry again. At such an advanced age, my children and grandchildren will be content with me in the future." So, it doesn't matter if you don't stop, she is Zixuan's mother after all."

"What about Zixuan and the others?"

"At his Yue's house, he hasn't come back yet. By the way, I heard that Ji Kang is no longer at Egret Academy?"

"Yes"

"Then now?"

"Right now, he and Jinnian are having class at Mr. Gong's home."

"Mr. Gong? Which Mr. Gong? What's the origin?"

"It is Mr. Gong Fanqun, former director of the Imperial Academy"

Qi Yuan stood up suddenly, "I'm dizzy, how did you invite him here? God, where is he? I'm going to pay a visit"

"It's in Yangliu Village, Gong's house. I've been here for more than two months."

"Oh, you guys, it's so embarrassing, so what, Xiao Jian, quickly prepare a gift for me, I have to meet his old man"

"Okay, don't come here, just watch over Sister Xi'er, the Gong family has everything, just go sincerely."

"Come on, let's go together? Embolden me?"

"Ha ha"

So a group of people sat in a carriage and arrived at Gong's house in a short time. After entering, they were waiting in the living room.

The class is not over yet, Mr. Gong will not come out, but after Mrs. Gong and Mrs. Gong found out, they both came to the living room from the backyard to accompany them.

In fact, it was Xi'er who came to accompany the two of them, "Girl, you haven't been here for a long time, what are you busy with?"

"Growing saplings at home"

"Buy land again?"

"no"

"then you?"

Xi'er was about to speak when Mr. Gong's hearty laughter outside interrupted their conversation.

He brought Ji Kang and Xiao Jinnian to the living room, "Which gust of wind brought you here?"

Xiao Tianbao and the others didn't speak, but Qi Yuan got up, stepped forward respectfully, and saluted Mr. Gong.

"Student Qi Yuan, I have met Mr."

"you are?"

"County Magistrate of Pingyuan County"
