Female supporting role in the lean years: eating melon with the front foot, counterattack with the b

"What happened yesterday made you like this?" Song Yunxi couldn't help but asked curiously.

"You don't know that when I closed my eyes yesterday, I felt that the arrow was coming towards me. I was so scared that I couldn't sleep well all night." Chu Han said with a grimace.

"You are really promising!" Song Yunxi laughed when he heard his words. This was too exaggerated.

"It's not that my subordinates are hopeless, it's that they are timid. I don't dare to watch the killings at home, let alone a living person." Chu Han quickly explained.

"Okay, yesterday's situation was special, but I don't hope there will be a next time. I don't think this is a reason for you to forget things."

Song Yunxi heard Chu Han's explanation, but after all, she was not someone who cared too much.

"By the way, Master, do you know that something happened when Boss Li went back yesterday?" Chu Han quickly came over and said carefully.

"Boss Li? He's the one who was named by Shopkeeper Wang yesterday." Song Yunxi thought about it and then asked tentatively.

"No, it is said that he died at home for unknown reasons after returning home. Do you think it was the person from the government office?" Chu Han quickly whispered his guess.

"Impossible! Boss Li didn't say anything yesterday. It must have been an accident!" Song Yunxi said uncertainly.

"Do you think that person wants us to pay the tax consciously?" Song Yunxi frowned when she heard this.

Then he shook his head and said, "Probably not. They haven't decided on the specific tax yet, and they haven't determined how much to pay."

"I think this situation is probably more or less, so I asked someone to inquire about it. They said that Zhenbei Hou is currently in a tight military situation. If there are merchants who are willing to solve the problem, they can directly seal the official." Chu Han said here. He glanced at Song Yunxi carefully.

Song Yunxi was silent for a while before saying, "Is this Marquis planning to proclaim himself emperor here? After all, all the officials have been appointed."

"I'm afraid it's not him. Isn't there another prince?" Chu Han didn't know. After all, the person he was looking for was only a minor official and didn't know much about it.

I often come to the restaurant to eat, and I feel familiar with it every time I go there.

"Master, do you want to become an official?" Chu Han asked with a smile.

Song Yunxi rolled her eyes when she heard this, "It's not like you don't know that I am a girl, even if I really did it, I would be bestowed upon my father."

"What's wrong, girl? Isn't there a famous female official in our Jin Dynasty?" Chu Han waved his hand indifferently.

"There were female officials in the Jin Dynasty?" This was the first time Song Yunxi heard that there were female officials in the Jin Dynasty. In her stereotype, wasn't the status of women in ancient times low?
"Yes! But that one has quite a lot of background. She is the favorite only daughter of King Su and Princess Su. I heard that she has been fond of officialdom since she was a child. Because she is the only daughter and has made many contributions, she became the only female official in our Jin Dynasty. ." There was a bit of complexity in Chu Han's words when he mentioned it, but it was more of admiration.

"Oh, it seems that the emperor of our Jin Dynasty is still very open-minded. After all, wanting a woman to be an official is not just a matter of talk." Song Yunxi said with a little emotion.

"Our emperor was famous for being a wise king when he was young, and our Jin Dynasty was also stable and happy. But as people get older, they inevitably become dim. Now! He is no longer what he used to be." Chu Han said sadly. said.

"I can't tell you know a lot!" Song Yunxi looked at Chu Han in surprise. She didn't expect that he knew so much despite being from a poor background.

"I have an uncle who became a eunuch in the palace. He told me this when he came back to worship his ancestors a few years ago." Chu Han said nonchalantly.

"Ah?" What the hell, eunuch, uncle?Worshiping ancestors?Why can't she understand something?

"What's wrong, Master?" Chu Han asked doubtfully. "You have an uncle who is a eunuch in the palace, but there are also eunuchs who can worship ancestors?" Song Yunxi asked with confusion.

"Oh, he was released when he was old. But I haven't seen him in the past few years, so I don't know if he is still there." Chu Han and Song Yunxi explained.

"What do you mean are you still there?" Song Yunxi was confused again. Why couldn't she understand?

"He said it himself. If he doesn't come for a long time, he will probably die outside. It would be nice to set up a tomb for him then."

"Eunuchs are all rootless things. Life and death are just the words above. If you don't even have any descendants in this life, what's the use of living well." When Chu Han said this, his words were full of disdain.

Hearing his words, Song Yunxi fell into rare silence, not knowing how to answer these words.

"The government office should send someone over soon. Just bring me the results and I won't go." Song Yunxi finally just changed the subject.

"Okay, Master, I'll go down first." Chu Han also noticed that Song Yunxi didn't want to talk any more, so she said with a wink.

Song Yunxi waved her hand, indicating that he could leave.

But not long after, Han Dong came up again.

"Master." Song Yunxi frowned unhappily when she heard the knock on the door.

"Come in! What's the matter?" Song Yunxi looked at the account book and asked directly without raising her head.

"Someone from the government office is looking for you." Han Dong heard the impatience in Song Yunxi's words and said directly without talking nonsense.

"Mansion, someone is looking for me? Why are you looking for me?" Song Yunxi looked confused and didn't understand why people from the government came here to look for her.

"Erya, it's hard for you to hide this from grandpa!" Before Han Dong could reply, Zhenbei Hou walked in directly.

"Who am I talking about? It turns out to be Grandpa Shen. I don't know where Grandpa Shen started talking about." Seeing the person coming, Song Yunxi quickly cheered up and said with a smile.

"Hey, what a fuss! These two stores belong to you! If I hadn't accidentally found out, I really wouldn't have thought you were so capable." Zhenbei Hou smiled kindly.

"No, no, they are just two small shops, which are not enough in the county." Song Yunxi said modestly.

"Hey, I recently took a tour of the county town when I had nothing to do. These two stores have the best business. You girl is really good at it." Zhenbei Hou said it with admiration on his face.

"It's a coincidence that business is not very good on weekdays." Song Yunxi asked cautiously, not knowing what he meant.

"But, you girl, do you want to open two stores in Fucheng?" Zhenbeihou said directly getting into the topic.

"Grandpa Shen, why are you asking this? I don't have such big intentions. After all, I'm just a little girl with no connections and no money. There are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the city. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for me to rush in rashly!" Song Yunxi He declined politely.

It wasn't that she didn't want to open a store in Fucheng, but she couldn't figure out Grandpa Shen's sudden visit.

What did he want to do, and Song Yunxi didn't think that Grandpa Shen was just asking.
