Chapter 8

On this day, at noon and at night, the Xiao family eats fish as the main course. At noon, they have braised fish and crucian carp tofu soup. In the evening, they have sweet and sour fish and stewed fish head soup, with side dishes such as potatoes stewed with beans and sauced beef. , ground three delicacies, shallots mixed with tofu and so on.

The two children ate very deliciously. Zixi didn't have that much thought, so she ate with pleasure. Zichen was smarter and thought a lot. Many of the ingredients for these dishes were not available in their vegetable garden at home. Yes, there is meat to eat, and when I asked Xiao Yunchu, I always used the phrase "mother can juggle", although I didn't quite believe this kind of rhetoric, but I also understood that my mother always had a way to get many things that they didn't have.

Not long after it got dark, the two children consciously washed their faces and feet, and went to bed obediently. After making sure that the two children were fast asleep, Xiao Yunchu did not enter the space, but took out some spirit stones and a bottle of Juling Pill, crossed his legs Sit on the wooden bed and start practicing.

Yesterday, I promoted to the third level of Qi training in one breath, although it is due to the sky-defying talent of the wood-type Tianlinggen cultivation talent, but it is more due to the ineffective effect of the Xisui Pill. If you want to improve next time, it is impossible to continuously advance to several levels in one night. Even according to her estimate, it would take at least five or six days to advance to another level.

Even so, this speed is enough to scare people to death, Xiao Yunchu has no dissatisfaction, and is even very satisfied.

The next day, Xiao Yunchu, who still hadn't slept all night, woke up refreshed and prepared breakfast, and then began to look inside and out in the small thatched hut, counting how much value was left in this dilapidated so-called home. Things, by the way, how to improve life normally without arousing suspicion.

Zichen Zixi is young, but she is very clear about what is in the house. She helped to rummage in every corner, and found some fragments, but finally put them all together, except for the remaining few pickled ones sent by Liu Yinghua. Pickles, and the few coarse grains left, a few eggs, the most valuable is more than 500 copper plates.

"..." The corner of Xiao Yunchu's mouth twitched, this is really not ordinary poverty.

Look at the two children who are also worried about the small amount of "family property". After two days of eating and drinking, the complexions of the two sallow and thin children are a little rosy, but they are still thin and small, looking like poor children. Among other things, she had to help the two children who had suffered a lot with the original owner get their bodies back first.

When Xiao Yunchu was thinking about how to help the two children raise their bodies, on the other side, in Luo'an, the capital of Lingzhou Prefecture, was in a study of a mansion with carved beams and painted buildings, which gave people a sense of majesty.

A young man with an outstanding appearance was sitting on a soft chair, flipping through a few pieces of paper with his slender fingers that recorded the secret information investigated by the people below, his expression seemed a little careless.

The man has a very handsome facial features, clear outline, high nose bridge, wearing a black brocade robe with extremely exquisite workmanship, just sitting there without doing anything, you can feel the innate aura of his body Nobility and a powerful aura.

After a while, the man put the few pieces of paper on the table, looked up at his subordinate Wei Qing with a serious face in front of him, and curled his lips into a smile that was not a smile: "That old man is very greedy, he has already won the title of Minister of the Household Department. I’m not satisfied with my position, so I dare to try to reach out to Lingzhou Mansion, do you think I’ll turn a blind eye? Or don’t you take me, the feudal lord, seriously?”

Wei Qing said with determination on his cold face, "My subordinates think that he is just taking chances."

"Oh?" Feng Yunxiu slightly raised his eyebrows, "Tell me."

Wei Qing said: "Master has a lot of things to do every day, so he may not care about this little trick. Li Shangshu may just want to test it out. Once he finds out that you have not intervened, master, he will naturally reap as many benefits as he can. If master is dissatisfied with his overstepping, Li Shangshu is in a high position, the master will give a little warning at most, and he will not be cruel easily, Li Shangshu didn't have much loss."

To say that they didn't pay attention to their master... even the one above wants to give the master three thin noodles, a mere second-rank Shangshu, I'm afraid they don't have the guts.

Feng Yunxiu chuckled twice, and did not comment on Wei Qing's speculation, but said: "If you dare to reach out to the king's territory, even if you are in a high position, this king will chop off his hand."

Wei Qing thought deeply, "After Li Shangshu pulled Xiao Shilang off his horse, he has been promoted all the way, and his official career has been smooth. After a long time, it is inevitable to be arrogant." The result of being too conceited is to suffer a big fall in the hands of the master.

"Xiao Shilang...?" Feng Yunxiu's expression paused, and his expression was weird for a moment.

It was only at this moment that Wei Qing came to his senses and knelt down on one knee, "It's my subordinate who made a slip of the tongue."

Feng Yunxiu waved his hand casually, "It's okay, get up."

"Yes." Wei Qing stood up, carefully looked up at his master, hesitated for a moment, and then asked tentatively: "Master, are you really not going to find Miss Xiao?"

"Why are you looking for her? Let her enter the palace as a concubine?" Feng Yunxiu's expression was a little cold. It is to seek compensation. It is a blessing to be able to escape the catastrophe that happened to the Xiao family. It is impossible for this king to marry a commoner woman as his concubine and let her spend her life as a concubine in the backyard of the palace. It is better to be an ordinary woman among the people , living a life of simple food and drink is free and comfortable.”

Wei Qing thought about it carefully, and it is indeed the truth. My master has never been close to women, but there was a dewy marriage once. As the master said, it was just a mistake. It is unreasonable and unnecessary to let the unknown situation Miss Xiao's family is tied to the palace.

After a while, Feng Yunxiu said again: "...There is no need to deliberately search for it. If one day we meet by chance, if the other party's life is not good, then we can just give some compensation."

"My subordinate understands."

That's the end of this topic, Feng Yunxiu didn't intend to bring it up any further, his phoenix eyes scanned the secret report on the table, and said, "The people sent by Li Dehai are still hiding in Hongye Town?"

When it came to business, Wei Qing instinctively straightened his waist and looked solemn: "Yes, I am a guest at a small landlord's house in Hongye Town."

"Get rid of the person as soon as possible, and give Li Dehai a big gift by the way."

Wei Qing nodded knowingly, "I understand." She saluted again and was about to step back, but was stopped again just as she turned around.

"Wait a minute." Feng Yunxiu tapped the paper that said Hongye Town twice with his fingertips, and his heart moved inexplicably, "It happens that I have nothing else to do recently, so I will go with you."

Wei Qing opened his mouth in surprise, not understanding how his master would suddenly change his mind, but still nodded respectfully, "This subordinate is going to prepare the things needed for the trip."

When there was only one person left in the study, Feng Yunxiu murmured thoughtfully, "Hongye Town..."

His intuition told him that this small town might bring him some unexpected 'surprises'.

Hope it doesn't disappoint him.

In the past few days, something strange happened to the peaceful Youxi Village, which made the villagers feel very strange. They discovered that Widow Xiao, who had settled in the village for more than a year, lived in a hut at the foot of the mountain, and rarely interacted with the village, suddenly started to walk around. , and her behavior was quite strange, taking her two dead father's children to run around the village every morning, which really became a spectacle in the village.

Some people couldn't help being curious and asked before, but they got the answer of "bring the children to exercise". This is not an answer in the eyes of the villagers. How can exercise be like this?The children in the village gather in twos and threes and run around the village from morning to night, running and making noise. No one will deliberately run in one area every day. Adults go to work every day before dawn. The labor intensity Much better than running.

For the ancients, especially these peasants, the so-called morning exercise was a very puzzling thing, and Xiao Yunchu didn't intend to explain it further.

If possible, she would like to directly feed Zichen and Zixi a pill of washing marrow alone, and keep a pill so that they can bid farewell to their illnesses, eat delicious food, and feel better!
