Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 222
In the north at the end of February, the eyes are still completely white.On the way from Yanjiang Village to the town, two horses were running fast, one in front and one behind.

"Brother Haoyu, hurry up." A woman in red, riding a snow-white horse, kept urging the horse to run fast.This woman's pretty face is rosy, showing her youth and vitality.With willow eyebrows and almond eyes, Qiong nose and cherry lips, she is a rare beauty. It seems that she is about fourteen or fifteen years old, which is the age of cardamom.

"Yuxian, slow down, the horse runs too fast, be careful of the danger." Behind is a boy, sixteen or seventeen years old, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, gentle and elegant.At this moment, he was looking at the girl in front of him with some worry.

It turned out that these two people were Yuxian and Haoyu.Now they have grown up, Yuxian is 14 years old this year.Since Haoyu's mother returned to the capital six years ago, Fang Yun has almost always lived in the capital, returning to Songjianghe Town occasionally a few times a year.On the contrary, Yuxian and Haoyu also often run to the capital, so Yuxian's medical skills are not inferior.Yuxian has already taken over everything in Jishitang, and she will go to Jishitang every month to figure out all the accounts. Today, she just walked back from Jishitang.

"Brother Haoyu, shall we go to the capital after a while?" Yuxian slowed down her horse and walked forward side by side with Haoyu. "Actually, I most want to go to see the medicine fair that Master mentioned, but it seems to be held in autumn. Remember to remind me when the time comes, let's go and have a look."

"I probably won't go to the capital for a while. My mother's illness is much worse. The family is going to be busy again. Let's go after the spring plowing. The road is not good at this time, it's full of mud." Haoyu looked at this The flower-like woman in front of him, because of the galloping horse just now, now has pink cheeks and bright eyes, those watery eyes attract all his eyes.Afraid of being discovered, he quickly withdrew his gaze.

"That's right, the capital is much warmer than ours. It's not like ours. It's full of snow. Then let's go to the capital after the spring plowing is over. There's nothing to do at that time, so we can stay for a few more days and accompany Accompany Master and Auntie." Yu Xian also felt that it was not a good idea to go out now. "Brother Haoyu, is it true that my aunt entrusted you to take care of those properties? Then you are going back to live in the capital? Don't you have to be afraid of Marquis Zhaowu's mansion now?"

"Well, Marquis Zhaowu defected to the second prince, but now the emperor is the third prince who was relegated to the border. I heard that the third prince punished many ministers who had defected to other factions, and Marquis Zhaowu was the first to bear the brunt. The prince is a vigorous and decisive person, and he doesn't care about the important officials of the previous court. Now the court is in great need of new officials to supplement, so the emperor will add a department this spring, in order to select good talents. The second elder brother is about to release the rankings right now, and I don’t know how he did in the exam?” Erlang took part in the provincial examination the year before last and won the honor of Juren.Last year, the old emperor passed away and Chunwei was cancelled, so he was unable to participate in the examination.Unexpectedly, the emperor would add Enke this year, so Erlang and Bowen went to Beijing early.

The two chatted while walking, and arrived at Yanjiang Village not long after.Today's Yanjiang Village has also undergone a lot of changes, almost every house is made of bricks and tiles.In the past few years, the wine shop has continuously launched new wines, and the sales are getting farther and farther.Those villagers in the village who bought shares at the beginning are now rich.However, the only thing that is not satisfactory is that the magistrate Qian was transferred away, and the current magistrate is surnamed Wei, and he is an insatiable guy.Taking advantage of the chaos in the court and nobody caring, they are trying their best to make money here.All kinds of taxes have been raised a lot, and the people in Shuangdian County are full of complaints.And Yanjiang Village is exempt from paying taxes because the winery is Yunsong's name, so it doesn't have to pay taxes.This made the magistrate of Wei very angry, and he came to find fault at every turn.

Back at Tong's house, Uncle Chen, the gatekeeper, came out and led the horses to the stable.Yuxian and Haoyu walked directly to the inner courtyard, and when they reached the main room of the inner courtyard, they saw two little boys running back and forth at the door. "Little Six, Little Seven."

As soon as Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi saw that it was their elder sister who had returned, they hurried to her and hugged Yuxian's thigh, "Sister, why did you come back? Mother has already said it several times."

Yuxian led one in each hand and entered the house, just in time to see her mother sitting on the kang, and her sister-in-law was also there, all doing needlework. "Mother, sister-in-law, what are you doing here?"

"What else can I do? Your sister-in-law is here again, why don't you hurry up and make some children's clothes." Fang looked up at Yuxian, "It's still cold outside, right? You came back on horseback? Don't wear more clothes."

Yuxian ignored what her mother said behind her, ran to her sister-in-law, grabbed her hand, and felt her pulse, "It's almost three months, sister-in-law, do you really want to be like your mother?" At the age of 15, she had her first child, a boy named Tong Jingrui. At the age of 17, I had a second child named Tong Jingming.I'm only 19 this year, and I have a third child again. Isn't this too standard?One child in two years, same as Fang's.

Xiaotong blushed at Yuxian's words, "It's not up to me to make decisions about having a baby."

Yuxian slapped her forehead and fainted. In this era, having more children is a blessing, and everyone wants to have more children. "Okay, take your time, I'm going back to the house."
Just as Yu Xian was about to go back to her room, there was a commotion outside, and Bai Lu hurried in. "Madam, it's not good, something happened."

Yuxian glared at her, "What's the matter? Is it worth your shouting?"

"Miss, Manager Zhao from the winery said that the winery has been closed, and the master and young master have been taken away by the government." Bai Lu's words were thrown into the calm lake like a big stone.

As soon as Xiaotong heard this, he felt his blood surge upwards, and he passed out all of a sudden.Yuxian hurried forward and grabbed Xiaotong's crowd with all her strength. After a while, Xiaotong woke up slowly, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, we haven't figured out what's going on yet." Yuxian asked The man took Guanshi Zhao to the front yard, and walked to the front yard by himself, "Mother, I'll go and ask what's going on, don't worry, look at my sister-in-law, don't let her get excited, if you move your baby's gas, you'll be fine." Oh no."

Fang Shi is also very worried at the moment, but the situation of the daughter-in-law here makes her have to cheer up. "Go and find out what's going on, and then we'll discuss it."

When Yuxian came to the front yard, Guanshi Zhao had already been waiting in the living room anxiously, walking back and forth. "Uncle Zhao, what's going on, tell me."

"Miss Yuxian, that's what happened. People from the yamen came today and said that someone drank our wine and died. The servants of the yamen took the master and young master away. They also closed the wine shop. , saying that drinking will no longer be allowed in the future. Miss, what should I do?" Manager Zhao rubbed his hands anxiously.

"Uncle Zhao, go back and appease the workers who live in the winery, and tell them that no matter how the winery is, I will still pay wages. Let everyone rest for a few days, and treat it as a Chinese New Year rest. I will think about my father's business." Find a way to find out, and then we will find a way, this is definitely the Weizhi County deliberately framed us." This Weizhi County has a brother-in-law, who has been coming to buy wineries last year, Yun Song does not sell, this is probably one of them. Bureau only.

Manager Zhao sighed, "Okay, I will tell the workers. The workers in our distillery are all good, so there shouldn't be any changes. I'm afraid of the people in the village. They follow the money. If something happens, they might ask to withdraw their shares." Manager Zhao was worried about this.

"Uncle Zhao, don't worry, don't talk about this wine shop, I can buy ten or eight more by myself, and I can't wait for them to withdraw their shares." Yuxian is now a well-behaved little rich woman, Tongrentang's dividend alone can get more than 1 taels every year.This wine shop, I really don't want to talk about it.

"Sure, since the lady said so, I have nothing to say. Don't worry about the lady on the worker's end, there won't be any trouble." Manager Zhao said goodbye and went back to appease the workers.

Yuxian's mind was never idle for a moment, the third brother and Bo Yuan accompanied the second brother to Beijing, the fourth brother, fifth brother and Bo Chao are now studying in Fucheng, only Haoyu and herself are at home.Can't say, I really have to come forward.Turn around and go out to Haoyu's residence in front, "Brother Haoyu, come out, I have something to see you."

Haoyu was reading a book in the room, and came out as soon as he heard Yuxian call him. "Yuxian, what's wrong?"

Yuxian didn't speak, and dragged him to Yuan Qingyun's room. "Uncle Yuan, I have something to discuss with you."

Yuan Qingyun glanced at Yuxian, "I already know that your father was destined to be imprisoned this time. It's also because we have developed so fast over the years that people are jealous. I'm afraid this time, we will have a lot of bleeding."

"I'm not afraid of paying. What I'm worried about now is that they may have taken a fancy to the secret recipes of our workshops." Tong's family now not only has a wine shop, but also a fermented bean curd workshop, specializing in all kinds of fermented bean curd.The sales are very good, even people from Shenzhou come to buy.

"I'm afraid there is a reason for this. We should first confirm the ins and outs of the matter and the situation of your father and brother, and then find a way to rescue them." Yuan Qingyun thought for a while and said.

"Brother Haoyu and I are the only ones at home now, and my uncle can't come out, so please ask my uncle to take care of my mother and sister-in-law. Brother Haoyu and I went to the county seat." Yuxian said after thinking about it.

"That's the only way to go. I didn't expect this to happen when the family was the most free. You go to comfort your mother and sister-in-law first, and then make other arrangements. If you want to go to the county seat, it's best It will be more convenient to dress up as a man." Yuan Qingyun gave Yuxian a suggestion.
