Splendid Pastoral: The Strong and Hot Wife

Chapter 245

After about an hour or so, the person who went to get the roster came back and brought the draft roster of the entire Qinglong Town.

In front of Qiu Yongzheng, he crossed the names of Xu Xiaomi and Xu Xiaoting from the account book with a pen.

Then, he said flatteringly: "Master! The little one risked being wiped out of the nine clans to do this! From now on..."

When Xu Xiaomi heard it, this person who came to seek protection, it is actually not easy for them to think about it!
Let the face fart, and the bottom will die.Moreover, many of the things I do are things that offend others, and I can only feed my family by saving money every month.

I also blamed the poor, so I said: "It's okay! In the future, if you have nowhere to go, you can go to work in my winery! As long as you work hard, you can support the family."

Hearing this, the man quickly knelt on the ground, cupped his hands gratefully, and said, "Thank you, Miss, for your kindness! Thank you, Miss! Little Feng Xiaoer, I'll go back and write my resignation, and come to work with you tomorrow, okay?"

Hearing what he said, Xu Xiaomi turned to look at Qiu Yongzheng, and saw that he was also looking at him, and seeing Xu Xiaomi looking at him with questioning eyes, he nodded with a reassuring look back at Xu Xiaomi.

Xu Xiaomi smiled and said to Feng Xiaoer who was kneeling on the ground: "Okay! Come if you want! However, our work is quite tiring! When the time comes, don't regret it!"

"I know! I know! Miss, don't worry, I, Feng Xiaoer, have nothing. As a man, I still have strength!"

Seeing Feng Xiaoer's grateful expression, Xu Xiaomi said in her heart

There is nothing but sadness.This is the person who lives at the lowest level of society!Do your best to make a living.

Qiu Yongzheng looked at the roster and brought it over. The name was crossed, so Zheng Jiang and others should be sent back to Jinquan County.

So he said to Zheng Jiang's followers in the room: "Okay, this Feng Xiaoer saved you, you should be grateful!

In the future, don't do things too much, let me know that you have done things too well, and it will not be as easy as today. "

After hearing Qiu Yongzheng's words, those followers obediently agreed.

Seeing that they were so obedient, Qiu Yongzheng didn't make it difficult for them. Finally, he asked the bearer to carry the injured Zheng Jiang back together.

Qiu Yongzheng and Xu Xiaomi discussed that the Chinese New Year was coming, and they couldn't get away, so they decided to let Xiaoxiang go to the palace to find out about the situation.

Xiaoxiang went to the capital that night, and returned to Xujia Village ten days later. The news she brought back was that.

Now that Qiu Zhongxiang is the emperor, the turmoil of the draft this time caused a big wave in the states and counties of the Great Zhou.

These show girls were selected by the county, and then sent to the state capital to go through another competition. The show girls selected in each state capital, with outstanding looks and talents, were sent to the imperial palace by the state capital.

After layers of selection, in the end, five hundred beautiful girls were sent to the palace.The oldest is 17 years old and the youngest is 12 years old.

After hearing Xiaoxiang's report, Xu Xiaomi and Qiu Yongzheng felt heavy in their hearts.

In the current Dazhou, there has been a heavy snowstorm in these years, and the people froze to death and starved to death, killing countless people.

Later, Chen Hezhe tormented the people to make a living. When they took over, the treasury was empty, and there were successive droughts and floods. The people had already suffered enough.

In this draft, another 500 people were sent to the palace. The food and clothing of the harem is where the people pay their taxes.

This time, the taxation of the people of Dazhou should be increased again.

Thinking of this, Qiu Yongzheng looked at the sky helplessly. Sitting there now was his father whom he had respected since he was a child.

He can only look at it before making plans. Perhaps, his father just took in two women on a whim.Of course, those ministers use manpower and material resources on all sides, and the general trend may be in the national draft!
Qiu Yongzheng has been thinking of the best in his heart, hoping that his father will not be dazzled by power.

At this time, it was already the end of the year, and Xu Xiaomi didn't have time to take care of those troublesome things!
This year, she and Qiu Yongzheng went to distribute New Year's goods and silver taels to various families.

First, they went to the farthest place from Qinglong Town - Yunzhou.

They pulled four carts, vegetables, chicken, duck, fish and pork, and a cart of home-brewed wine.

Where does Xu Xiaomi plan to start the wine business!This time, she will go and have a look first. If possible, she will consider building a wine workshop in Yunzhou.

There are three uncles, three cousins ​​and their family members, a total of seventeen people, big and small.

Including the bought slaves and the long-term labor hired locally, there are about 50 people.If you want to make wine, there is no shortage of manpower, just send another person who can make wine when the time comes.

There are not many new year gifts this time. There is no way to travel long distances. I can only send some things that cannot be bought anywhere. If they can be bought locally, I try to let them buy it by themselves.

They ran on the road for four days before reaching Yunzhou City.

Yunzhou is located in the southeast of Dazhou. The climate is relatively hot and it mainly produces fruits.

Of course, there are a lot of vegetables, but there is no fish to eat.According to the local custom, old people who died at home are buried in water.Therefore, local people are not allowed to salvage fish in rivers and lakes.

Therefore, if the third uncle Zhou Jingtao and others wanted to eat fish, they could only rely on Xu Xiaomi to send someone to deliver it.

After they delivered the things, the two of them went shopping in Yunzhou City, and Xu Xiaomi found a house with a better location.It happened that it was the house of a businessman who was doing business in Yunzhou.

Because the business failed, the owner of the house didn't want to continue, and brought his family back to his hometown.

Xu Xiaomi saw that Sijin's yard only sold for 150 taels of silver, so she bought the house.

You can live in it when you move in. Xu Xiaomi took the third uncle to look at the house at night, and told him to let a few house slaves clean it during the New Year.

After the new year, she asked someone to send over the design drawings of the wine workshop.

When the third uncle heard Xu Xiaomi said that he would come to Yunzhou to open a wine workshop, he was so happy that his face was full of bright smiles.

After Xu Xiaomi and Qiu Yongzheng settled the matter, before dawn the next day, they and their third uncle took their naughty and naughty six-year-old cousin, Zhou Rui, to bid farewell to Xujia Village with the three cousins ​​and sisters-in-law. .

Grandpa Zhou Xuewu was very happy to see his third son and grandson come back with him.Actually, grandpa and grandma also miss uncles very much, Xu Xiaomi knew it in her heart, but she didn't say it out loud.

So, it's the New Year's Eve, and she wants to bring her uncles and aunts back to spend the New Year with her grandparents.Not to mention what to eat, there is no shortage of food in their family now, but the family does not get together much throughout the year.The old man was worried.

That afternoon, she asked Qiu Yongzheng to go to Wei's house alone to deliver New Year's goods, and brought back the third aunt and third cousin by the way, so that the third uncle and his family could reunite.

In the blacksmith's shop of my uncle's house, the apprentices don't go back for the Chinese New Year, so my uncle can only come back to accompany his grandpa and grandma on New Year's Eve.The eldest aunt and fourth uncle, with a few children, followed Qiu Yongzheng back to Xujia Village.

Xu Xiaomi asked Qiu Yongzheng to send clothes to the uncle and the others, as well as a lot of food and New Year's goods.

This time, the big house of Xu Xiaomi's house doesn't look too big anymore. It is estimated that all the rooms will be full when they come back.

Today is the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and the wine workshop has stopped brewing.The more people eating at home, the more people helping in the kitchen.

In fact, there are Liu Xia and Zhou Yin now, so there is no need for Xu Xiaomi's grandmother, Huang Shi, and Zhou Yuqing to go into the kitchen again.However, they couldn't bear it, and they all crowded into the kitchen to help.

Xu Xiaomi sees that there are so many people in the family, how can they do without having fun during the Chinese New Year?Could it be that the whole family sits there and chats for days and nights?
Now, Xu Xiaomi's business is on track, and he has both silver and gold in his hands.There is no need to be busy making money on New Year's Eve as before.

So this morning, she asked Qiu Yongzheng to drive the carriage to Qinglong's school to bring Xu Hao back for the New Year.

But I found my grandfather and second uncle at home, got some good wood, and sawed it into one hundred and eight pieces of wood, one inch wide and two inches long, to carve mahjong.

Let the grandfather engrave the one and the tube with high technical content, and myself and my second uncle, third uncle, and fourth uncle will engrave the ten thousand character and the note.

When Qiu Yongzheng came back, they were still busy engraving.He saw it, and he also took something to help carve it.

Qiu Yongzheng asked while engraving: "Mimei! What are you doing here?"

Xu Xiaomi smiled mysteriously and said, "This is for fun!"

'Thinking about her previous life, she would play a few hands in her hand whenever she was free, but she didn't know how to play with a real person, what was it like?
Seeing her mysterious smile, Qiu Yongzheng continued to ask, "We are all adults and still play with blocks?"

"Well! When it's done, I'll tell you how to play!"

The smile on Xu Xiaomi's face was as charming as the blooming hibiscus.Seeing that Qiu Yongzheng was in a daze.

Finally, the last [-] ticks are ready.Everyone looked at the pile of small wooden blocks on the table, waiting for Xu Xiaomi to teach them how to play?

Xu Xiaomi looked at everyone and shouted with a smile: "If you want to play mahjong in the past few days during the Chinese New Year, come over and have a look!"

' Hearing her shout, people with empty hands came over, Xu Xiaomi saw more and more people behind her.

Then he took one out of the pile of wood and told everyone: "Look, everyone, what looks like this is a bobbin, what looks like this is a ten thousand character, and what looks like this is a strip..."

She explained to everyone how to play mahjong, and let those who are willing to play mahjong start playing mahjong.

At the beginning, everyone was not very good at it, so Xu Xiaomi taught while beating, while Qiu Yongzheng stood behind her and watched.

Later, the second uncle, the third uncle and the fourth uncle all had a fight, and Qiu Yongzheng said he wanted to fight. Seeing his pitiful appearance, Xu Xiaomi really didn't want to hear him arguing.

I let a few of them play, and I went to my grandfather to make a chess set. When the chess was ready, it happened to be ready for lunch.

After lunch, Xu Xiaomi found Xu Hao, and the two siblings started to play chess.

Xu Xiaomi learned this chess from her father when she was a child, and she can't bear to play it!

However, Xu Hao is very smart. After seeing her sister beat him a few times, she gradually learned it, and the losses became less and less.Xu Xiaomi originally thought that he would be able to go down, and he would kill Xu Hao, a novice, to the point of leaving nothing behind.
