After the separation, the little widow Xianggong returned from the capital

Chapter 30
In the mountainous countryside, ox carts and mule carts are already the best means of travel.

Suddenly, a large carriage drove into Sanhe Village, which immediately attracted the attention of the whole village. After another look, it turned out that it was heading for Touqi's house in the east of the village, so the whole village was excited.

Yes, Lacquer.

Qi Qi established a female household, and this new house was built with her dowry silver, which was her private property.

In order to distinguish the family property given to her by the Gu family, she randomly wrote the word "Qi Zhai" on a broken wooden board, and hung it directly at the gate of the courtyard.

A group of gossipers followed behind the carriage, forming a small tail.

The carriage stopped, and seeing Qi Qi walking out of the carriage, everyone couldn't bear it anymore, and started asking questions.

"Qi Niang, this carriage is really big, where did it come from?"

"Qi Niang, did you buy a carriage? Oh, this carriage is worth a lot of money, right?"

"Qi Niang is living a small life. She has a carriage and even servants. I'm afraid the whole village can't compare to her..."

Sour words, sour teeth.

Qi Qi had already guessed that this would happen, and had already thought of countermeasures.

For the jealousy of others, she is afraid of this and that, and lives in hiding, she doesn't like it.

She has medical practice documents, and she will go out more often in the future. It is convenient to have a carriage.

"Uncles and aunts, are you joking? How can I buy a carriage so easily?"

Yes, she said carriages and not servants.

In the Dapei Dynasty, horses were not something you could buy if you wanted to.

At the beginning of the dynasty, wars were raging, and horse-drawn carriages were equivalent to modern military vehicles, let alone cavalry. Naturally, the more horses the better.

At that time, horses were really in short supply, and they were worth more than human lives.

At that time, the ancestors of the Great Pei Dynasty wanted to buy horses at high prices from the people in order to win the war, but with little success.

The price of horses is not low, and ordinary people will not buy them. They are used to using ox carts and naked carts.

The rich and powerful would not sell it even in times of war. After all, when it came time to flee for their lives, having a horse gave them a much better chance of survival than others.

Later, when the ancestors won the battle, when analyzing the battle situation, they especially pointed out the decisive role of war horses in the war. Therefore, the new dynasty decided to implement strict control over folk horses.

The horse areas used for private trading are all old horses eliminated by the army, and the amount of horses that are refined to each county is limited each year.

The supply exceeds demand, so horses are not available to everyone, and there is nowhere to buy them if there is no way.

"Then... what are you?" There were also some sensible people in the crowd, who left half a sentence behind, as if they didn't say anything, but in fact the meaning was already reached.

Are you climbing to that place of wealth?

Qi Qi smiled, took out the medical practice documents and tokens, and said, "Yesterday I went to the county government office to apply for medical practice documents, and I saved an adult along the way. This horse and three servants were all given to me by that adult. Thank you. The county magistrate witnessed the whole process, if you don’t believe me, you can ask the county government.”

The people present were in an uproar, and they all asked who was the lord who was so generous, besides horses and servants, did he have a lot of money...

Hehehe, I won't tell you guys if there is one, Qi Qi has a lot to say.

Let them gossip, quarrel, and speculate.

Qi Qi just smiled calmly and said nothing more.

It didn't take long for the village head to bring a group of people over. If there is any major event in the village, he must not be able to hide it from him.

"Qi Niang, I heard that you have obtained the certificate to practice medicine. Congratulations. This is a great thing. The old man is old and has no heirs. I am worried that if the villagers have ailments in the future, they will go to other places to seek medical treatment. It's convenient now."

After all, the village head has a better structure than ordinary villagers, and he will not be so ignorant, asking those sensitive questions when he comes up.

Hearing what the village chief said, everyone brought their attention back and congratulated Qi Qi one after another.

After Qi Qi replied a few polite words with a smile, she began to chase people away, "It's getting late, oops, I've been traveling all the way back, and I haven't prepared dinner yet..."

"Oh, that's right, let's all leave, let's all leave." The village head understood, and immediately helped drive them away, "There is nothing to see, we all live in the same village, and we will have more time to spend together in the future."

Everyone heard it right, but no matter how many people they thought about, they couldn't figure out anything, so they drove each other away.

Anyway, I don't want to stay and I don't want others to stay.

When the people were almost gone, the village chief Gu Shanchong said, "Qi Niang, go home and have a good rest today. I'll let your aunt prepare a meal tomorrow to celebrate your obtaining the medical certificate. You must show me your face."

Qi Qi hesitated a little and said, "Isn't it appropriate, I still wear filial piety, besides, if you want to invite, I invite you to my house to eat."

"Hey, we are all a family, there are no taboos, you just come over when the time comes." The village chief waved his hands and said as he left, "That's it, go back quickly."

This is a strong buy and sell, and it cannot be refused.

However, Qi Qi didn't intend to refuse, she already planned to take root in this village, and the village head and patriarch definitely wanted to establish a good relationship.

"Everyone go in first." Qi Qi turned around, stepped forward to open the courtyard door, and greeted everyone to enter the house.

"Madam, the carriage can't get in." Baoping looked at the stone steps and the high threshold in front of the courtyard, feeling a little worried.

"That's right." Qi Qi helped his forehead. At the beginning, because he was afraid that the terrain would be too low and the house would be damaged, he deliberately raised some foundations, and he didn't consider that there would be a carriage. At this time...

"In this way, find two wooden planks to lay it on first, come in and talk about it, and find someone to rebuild it tomorrow, and build a stable. Oh, there are so many things to do."

"Ma'am, if you have something to do, just ask me to do it." Ban Xia flattered her, but compared to Qing Dai's ability, she didn't have any skills, so the little girl was always a little uneasy, so she wanted to do more to make herself appear useful.

"You little girl, you have small arms and legs, and you can't do the strenuous work of building a stable. In the future, eat more, exercise more, and increase your strength. Help me fight." Qi Qi also saw her uneasiness and didn't move. He sensually gave her a reassurance.

"Madam, this servant will definitely work hard." The little girl was so moved that her eyes turned red.

Her parents at home have always only cared about her older brothers and younger brothers, and never had enough to eat.Now, Madam let her eat more, that's great.

"Sister-in-law, do you need my help?" Xiao Hua asked at the gate of the courtyard.

"Xiao Hua, come in quickly." Qi Qi turned around when he heard the voice, and waved to her.

The little girl glanced at Banxia and the others, then trotted forward, hesitantly said, "Sister-in-law, there is someone around, do you still need me to come and help?"

"Yes." Qi Qi understood what she meant, and suggested, "Sister-in-law will definitely be very busy here in the future, you go home and ask Granny Six if you would like to let you be my apprentice..."

"I am willing." Before she finished speaking, Xiao Hua jumped up excitedly, overjoyed.
