Lady forced to seek prince

Chapter 247 Helper
"Madam Bai has accumulated a total of 22 points now," Shi Jiu said, "One more increase, and it's almost the same."

Shi Jiu's voice came from Zhao Luoyang's mind, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. In the eyes of others, it would only make people think that she was in a good mood.

The white woman looked at Zhao Luoyang and said suddenly: "It's really not easy for you to come to Taozhou, but why did you think of going to associate with our village? Didn't you hear the rumors about the village before?"

Although they met Zhao Luoyang because of Ah Shu's case, Ah Wei invited Zhao Luoyang to come to the village as a guest, and Zhao Luoyang readily agreed.

Now that he came to the stockade with so many things, and mentioned that he wanted to plant the barren fields of the stockade, it was obvious that he wanted to keep in touch with the stockade.

Zhao Luoyang said: "We came to Taozhou, we were not familiar with the place, so we listened to what other people said. When we moved into Fengxia Village, they also said that the hands and feet of us immigrants were not clean, and we needed someone to fetch water from the East Village. Look at it, you can see how unreliable the rumors are, how can you easily believe those words."

"Sister Awei is what we have seen with our own eyes. It is better to believe our own eyes than to believe in other people's mouths. Besides, it is not easy to survive in Taozhou. It is worth the risk to find a way for yourself,"

"We know how to farm and so on. We can't find work in other villages. After thinking about it, we mainly go to the stockade to herd animals. Maybe there is a place for us."

"Correspondingly, we also need a stockade."

Zhao Luoyang spoke in a very orderly manner, and it sounded like the truth, without any trace of perfunctory, and the white lady felt more and more that she was in the right mood.

But after experiencing too many things, Bai Pozi remained calm: "Do you need a village?"

Zhao Luoyang nodded: "When farming, without livestock, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort. There is no shortage of this in the stockade, and the fur on the stockade is also what we want. Others can't give this. We will get along well with the stockade in the future. Zhaizi might buy something from us."

"Also, if the stockade needs manpower, or if you want to sell livestock and furs farther away, we can also help."

After Zhao Luoyang finished speaking, the white lady hadn't responded yet, when she heard Shi Jiu sigh.

Zhao Luoyang and Shi Jiu said, "What's wrong?"

Shi Jiu replied: "It's nothing, I just feel that after so long, apart from your family, what you have said to Mrs. Bai is the most truthful."

Zhao Luoyang didn't notice it, she felt that she was telling the truth to everyone sincerely.

But Mrs. Bai is more attentive.

Zhao Luoyang said: "Whether Mrs. Bai's identity is the Bai family mentioned in the system or not, she is very smart, and there is no need to tell lies in front of such a person."

"Well," Shi Jiu said, "Although most of the truth has not been told... it is considered very sincere."

Zhao Luoyang felt that Shi Jiu was taunting her.

The white lady nodded: "What you said makes a lot of sense."

As soon as the words were finished, a little smile appeared in the eyes of the white lady: "However, it is also very dangerous to communicate with the village. You know about Ashu. Maybe one day, you may be implicated by the village."

"Master Zhao will definitely investigate the case," Zhao Luoyang said, "You should know that Master Zhao saved many women who were smuggled out. When we were in Min County, we saw those people thanking Master Zhao with our own eyes. .”

The white lady said: "You trust Mr. Zhao very much?"

Zhao Luoyang nodded: "Last time Master Zhao went to the village and talked with my husband because of A Shu's matter, and I heard it all. Master Zhao mentioned Zhaizi, and the husband said that Zhaizi used to fight against Xifan together with the government office. Otherwise, the imperial court will not regain the land of Taomin."

"Master Zhao also said that Zhaizi paid a lot for this, so this case will never be left alone with the Liu family."

The white lady was a little surprised: "Your husband?"

Zhao Luoyang nodded: "Mr. Song, who taught my younger brother and me to read, had many students in the past, and the eldest son of the family also passed the imperial examination and became an official. Unfortunately, he was charged for some reason..."

Zhao Luoyang told Mrs. Song's situation to Mrs. Bai, and naturally brought Nie Shuang and Wu Weijun along.

The white woman said: "No wonder you were able to escape from the bandits, because you met people from the Wuwei Army."

Zhao Luoyang said: "Do you know Wu Weijun?"

The white woman shook her head: "I'm not familiar with it, but when there was a war here, the military guards came here."

She knew about Xiao Yu, the leader of the army. In that battle, the Wuwei Army did not let the village be the vanguard. At that time, Xiao Yu asked the deputy general to come and inform them.

As long as they stay in the stockade well, they will naturally have the protection of the court soldiers and horses now that they are the people of Daqi.

That battle was won quickly, and Xiao Yu was only 16 years old.

The only descendant of the Xiao family that she felt had some ability, that is, the young prince Yu, unfortunately also died in battle.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Bai sneered in her heart. Such a person could not escape the Feng family's methods.Da Qi might really be exhausted.

"Let's go and see the spinning wheel!" Zhao Xueyi and Niu Daochang walked over.

They have almost discussed the manure cellar, and when they go back, they can ask Mr. Song for advice, and they will be able to tell the village how to repair it.Although a dung cellar was enough for them to do for a long time, Zhao Xueyi did not forget those looms.

Zhao Luoyang looked at Mrs. Bai.

The white lady nodded: "I'll take you there."

Widow Xie has been waiting by the side, she can't get involved in these things, but she can understand the work of the loom.She was finally able to use her, and she was very happy in her heart.

A few people went to the courtyard on the west side of the stockade together, where women were washing wool and mending leather.

Widow Xie saw the waste leather trimmed by the women in the village at a glance, and couldn't help feeling distressed, throwing such a good thing away?If they take it away and sew it on the burlap, at least they can make a small mattress.

Widow Xie thought about it, and some women wanted to throw away the broken fur.

"Don't throw it, don't throw it, it still works, it works." Widow Xie hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop it.

"It's useless," said a woman, "it's too bad, it can't be sewn together."

"Yes, yes," said Widow Xie, "I will teach you how to sew."

Widow Xie went to get needles and threads from the basket while talking, and then put two pieces of waste fur together under the eyes of the women.

But the stitches are really dazzling.

"Sew one stitch on this side, and another stitch on this end, won't it break free?"

A few women look at me and I look at you, they all tried to learn, but one of them learned it, but found it troublesome, and they couldn’t sell it, so they kept it at home... there are better ones at home, really no need.

"If you want it, I'll give it to you!" Everyone knew about Zhao Luoyang and the others, so they were naturally much more generous.

Widow Xie's eyes lit up, but she couldn't ask for it in vain. She looked at the furs, counted forty pennies from her waist, and handed them over: "There is not much money. If you are willing to sell it, you can sell it to me."

The people in the village didn't expect that these useless things could be exchanged for money. They looked at Mrs. Bai.

Zhao Luoyang said: "It's not okay to take it for nothing. You see, if you want to sell it, we will buy it. We will have a better relationship in the future." Things that are given for nothing will not last long, and everyone knows this.

The white woman did not refuse, and nodded to the women in the village.

Only then did the woman happily accept it.

Widow Xie said: "You can sell us anything you don't need, old or broken, if the price is right, we can buy it. I can also do needlework. If there is anything that needs to be mended, I can bring it. .”

Widow Xie found that a woman was looking at the wooden hairpin on her head, so she simply reached out and took it off: "This can also be exchanged for things."

In fact, this hairpin was given by Widow Xie's family when she got married. She cherished it very much in the past, but after what happened to Sister Xiang's father, she can see it. These things are nothing, as long as they are good.

How important it is to communicate with Zhaizi right now, how can she be reluctant to part with a hairpin?
Zhao Luoyang felt that he didn't need to say anything more.She brought Fourth Uncle and Widow Xie here, and they could seize the opportunity by themselves, and each found a job.

Shi Jiu also said: "You brought out quite a few people from sixteen households, and they can all help you now."

Mrs. Bai did not stop her, so Widow Xie was quickly pulled into the house by the women.

"The loom and spinning wheel are over there," said the white lady, "let's go and have a look together!"

Zhao Luoyang looked at Zhao Xueyi, the last few charm points of Mrs. Bai depended on her fourth uncle.
