The black-bellied lord, the first wife is mighty!

Tao'er continued, "How about this? I will go to Lishutun with Lianxiang, Xingwang, Jixiang, Grandma Ding, and Auntie. Nowadays, there are still many medicinal materials, wild fruits and spices in the mountains, so let's take this opportunity , pick more."

Xing'er looked at her eldest sister, feeling sore in her heart: the eldest sister who is under 13 years old is so sensible that Xinger feels distressed.The children of the poor should be in charge of the family early, especially in such a family where people trample and bully at will.Father, when will you come back?

Immediately, Xing'er arranged for Qi Zhengliang, Chai Yunying, Chai Fengying and Lianxiang to send Tao'er back to Kaoshantun, and then took Aniang and her younger brothers and sisters to Lishutun for a while.To say something disrespectful, Xing'er really felt that Jiang Shi was almost like a mad dog, who would bite anyone when caught.

No, to be more precise, they caught the people from the fifth and third rooms and bit them desperately.In fact, Jiang's neighbors are still very good.Even, she often felt sorry for those beggars, and if any beggars came to her door, she would definitely give some rice and grains.Xing'er really can't figure it out, why can't she be nicer to the people in the fifth and third families?

Chai Sanniang has no natal family and no dowry, which is finally a reason.However, Chai Sanniang's natal family has a lot of brothers, and the natal family protects the weak, and the family is relatively well-off.It is said that when Chai Sanniang married, she had a lot of dowry.Why would the Jiang family bully such a person?

Oh, just because the people in the fifth and third rooms are relatively simple, honest, and filial, so she can bully them vigorously?Honest man, is it easy to be bullied, should he be bullied that much?This, is there any reason for this?

Myolie's head was full of black lines, and she sighed deeply.

The shop was cleaned up and filled with goods again, and many customers who left came back again.A few women who were very curious even asked Xing'er: "Little girl, do you really have the capital of Duke Zhen in your store?"

Xing'er smiled faintly: "Really, it's more real than pearls!"

The woman smiled shyly, and said to the "salesman" Chai Guangying in a disguised manner: "My little brother, bring me five catties of spiced melon seeds, five catties of spiced peanuts, one catty of tofu, and two catties of dried tofu! , come with a basket of fruit gift boxes!" Turning to Xing'er with a flattering smile, he said, "The food in your store is really delicious, I'll buy some more, and bring them back to my mother's house tomorrow!"

Fruit gift box, there are apples, walnuts, dates, pears, and a small packet of peanuts.The gift box is carefully woven with strips of bamboo or vines, with a handle and a cover. It is just like a work of art, and it is hard to put it down.The reason why some customers buy fruit gift boxes is actually because of the box.After half a day, out of hundreds of gift boxes, only a dozen remained.

The weaving of the gift box was contracted to Uncle Li from Lishutun.Uncle Li is not only good at carpentry, he is also very skillful in weaving baskets and boxes with bamboo and vines.There are three copper plates and a gift box, and the bamboo is all cut in the mountains, no cost, just a little effort.

With Uncle Li's craftsmanship, he can weave fifty gift boxes in one day, which is a net income of 150 copper plates!It can make more money than doing carpentry, and carpentry is not always available.After a year, there are always six or seven months when there is no work.Uncle Li was very happy to receive the job of weaving gift boxes. He only felt that Myolie was his noble person and lucky star!Look at the fragrance.

In other words, Myolie has brought good news and wealth to many families in Lishutun.The development of the hot spring valley requires a lot of manpower, especially careful women.Most of the women in Lishutun, who are good-natured and hard-working, are hired with high salaries.

For the women in the mountain village, the work is not too heavy. It is nothing more than planting, watering and picking vegetables, planting herbs and mushrooms, raising chickens, sheep and rabbits.Under Xing'er's suggestion, a large area of ​​mountains and forests was enclosed and specially used to raise chickens, rabbits and sheep.

Today, a batch of chickens, rabbits and sheep have been sold, and several crops of mushrooms and herbs have also been sold.By the end of the year, they will be able to share dividends. According to Xing'er's estimate, they should be able to get hundreds of taels of silver.If you add a little more, you can pay off the capital that the Qin family has padded!During the Chinese New Year this year, there will be no debts.

Originally, she was able to pay it back now, but Master Qin insisted on refusing to let it go, insisting that he agreed to deduct it from the dividend.The kindness is hard to turn down, Xing'er has no choice but to give up, she just thinks that if she has a chance in the future, she must repay one or two!There are more and more favors owed to the Qin family.

Let's just talk about today, in order to protect her during the scuffle, Master Qin got kicked by that bastard, and the injury was not light.At that time, her heart was all on Tao'er, she didn't notice that Master Qin was injured, it was Chai Yong who told her afterwards.

In other words, Master Qin returned home with the support of the servant.

Mrs. Qin was taken aback.

His wife and children quickly surrounded her, and Mrs. Qin said with a crying voice: "Master, what's the matter? Didn't you go to the opening ceremony of Xing'er's house? It's fine, how could you get hurt?" said After finishing, without waiting for Master Qin to reply, he straightened up again and shouted loudly: "Uncle Jian, please go to the doctor quickly, Master is injured!"

"What are you panicking about? Don't call the doctor, I've already visited Jishitang!" Master Qin's mind was full of images of Xing'er being held hostage by a knife, and his heart was unbearably sour.This child is so pitiful!My own uncle, who is a direct relative, would actually plan and harm her in such a way!

Mrs. Qin sat aside, forced a smile and said, "Master, what's the matter? Why are you injured?"

Master Qin sighed and briefly told what happened.Mrs. Qin turned pale with shock, thought for a long time, and said sadly: "Master, that Xing'er is indeed smart and lovely, and indeed very pitiful! But, from the perspective of a concubine, she is also a troublemaker. In the future, we must not let the Mo'er brothers and sisters A few, we meet her often, we have to slowly distance ourselves!"

Master Qin was upset and worried about Xing'er. Hearing what his wife said, he was furious: "Shut up! Look at what you said, there is no need for sympathy or love! Thanks to your usual, You always claim to be a kind and good person, and you also burn incense and worship Buddha. Today, I found out that you are also a cruel person, and you are also very powerful!"

When Mrs. Qin heard it, she burst into tears and felt a sharp pain in her heart.

This is the first time that her husband has yelled at her and said such things about her in the twenty years since they were married.At the moment, I feel very wronged and very sad.Subconsciously, she felt a bit of resentment towards the "culprit" Xing'er. .

This resentment, though subtle, is almost negligible.However, this is a seed of hatred. Once planted, it will take root and germinate one day.For this reason, she also brought a lifetime of regret and pain to her own most beloved son, Qin Mo, and forcibly destroyed the happiness and joy that Qin Mo originally hoped to have!

That night, the atmosphere in the Qin family was very heavy, the master was full of sadness, and the wife was in tears.The young masters and ladies were trembling and at a loss.The servants were confused about the situation, depressed and frightened.

Fortunately, Qin Mo went to Fucheng ten days ago and entered a famous academy to study, preparing to take the next year's provincial examination.If he was here today, he would not know how sad he would be, nor would he know how embarrassing he would be.Choosing between a loved one and a mother is not an easy task.

Fucheng, Ronghua Academy.

Qin Mo was sitting at the desk in front of the bed, concentrating on reading, when suddenly he sneezed several times.The servant Mo Zhu couldn't help muttering: "It's weird, who is thinking about my young master? Could it be that girl Xing'er? Or is it Miss Biao?"

When Qin Mo heard this, he couldn't help being annoyed. He reached out and hit him with a feather duster: "What nonsense are you talking about? Miss Cousin, where is all this?"

Mo Zhu forcefully argued: "Originally, that Miss Biao is beautiful and beautiful, but she is much prettier and more elegant than Xing'er! The little one really can't figure it out, young master, why don't you look down on Biao Miss, do you see Xing'er differently?"

Mo Zhu didn't know how many times he said these words, so Qin Mo sighed and decided to give him an explanation: "That Miss Cousin is indeed very good-looking, and she is much prettier than Xing'er! Besides, Da Hu She also learned the family's rules very well. It can be said that she is a very standard lady from a famous family.

But those are actually superficial appearances. Behind the scenes, who really knows what kind of person she is?Anyway, sometimes, I noticed cruelty and sarcasm flashing in her eyes, it's definitely not as simple as you think! "

Mo Zhu let out an "oh", looking thoughtful.But he was not reconciled, so he tried to persuade him: "But, even so, you don't have to find a country girl, young master! You can't read a few big characters, big feet, and skin is dark and rough (Actually, Xing'er's skin is dark and rough. The skin is not dark, nor is it very rough, but compared to that cousin, it is indeed darker and rougher), and there are no rules. Such a person is really not a good match for the young master!"

"Xing'er doesn't know a lot of Chinese characters? There are no rules?" Qin Mo rolled his eyes at Mo Zhu, and scolded: "What do you know? Xing'er is a rare woman in this world. If your son can marry her, why would you marry her?" Wife, that will be a great blessing! You must never say another word of this, otherwise you will not follow me and go back to the old house in the country!"

The voice was very harsh, and the expression on his face was quite ugly.Under his eyes, there was a small flame burning.It seems that he is really angry!

"Yes, young master, I made a mistake, I don't dare to do it again!" Mo Zhu was terrified, and quickly knelt down to admit his mistake.Seeing that the young master agrees with Xing'er so much, Mo Zhu's dissatisfaction with Xing'er has subsided a little.

The capital, the government of Zhen Guo.

Shen Jie received Feige's letter from Shopkeeper He, read it at a glance, his face was livid.The whole body was cold, and the personal guards and maids did not dare to look up at him.

---Sweating, I still owe [-] words, I will make up tomorrow.Sorry, good night!
