Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 82: You Mob (7)
Thinking of her, another thing suddenly occurred to her, she turned her head and asked Yu Zixi in astonishment, "My hometown? Everyone Yu said that your rice was shipped from your hometown?"

Yu Zixi said: "Yes."

Xiang Lai said: "I remember when I was buying rice, the guy said that your rice is pure Korean rice. Is Brother Yu a Korean?"

Yu Zixi was also stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Yes, my family belongs to Korea, and I came to Beiliao because of the need to make a living."

Only then did Xianglai understand why when he entered his shop, he saw many things that were not local to Beiliao. It turned out that Yu Zixi was from Korea.

After thinking about it, he asked again: "Do Koreans have the same surname as our Liao people? Brother Yu and Qi Xing, you can't even tell that they are Koreans by their names."

Yu Zixi said: "Basically, I don't think there is any difference between Goryeo and Beiliao... Hey, by the way, just now Miss Xianglai said she wanted to ask me about something, what exactly is it?"

Xianglai said: "Oh, next year I also want to open a rice shop in Songning, and I want to ask Brother Yu where the location is better, the price of the shop, how to find the shopkeeper, the buddy, etc."

Yu Zixi teased: "Why is Miss Xianglai not satisfied with being a local landlord, but thinking of coming to the city to snatch our businessmen's jobs?"

Xianglai said: "Look at what Big Brother Yu said, if you want to grab the rice shop, you are also grabbing the job of Hengwang Rice Shop, and you can't get your grocery shop, Big Brother Yu!"

Yu Zixi smiled and said: "I'm just kidding, Miss Xianglai, don't take it seriously, I will help you to pay attention to the shop, and let Qi Xing tell you as soon as there is something suitable, and by the way, even the shopkeeper and the assistant will also help you pay attention Now, I will definitely find some honest and shrewd people for you."

Xiang Lai said: "Then I will thank Brother Yu first. From now on, Brother Yu will eat all the rice, and I don't have to go all the way to my hometown to get it."

Yu Zixi said: "Hey, that Xianglai girl is going to lose out, Brother Yu has a big appetite!"

Xianglai also laughed, and said: "How can it be, is it possible to eat up all my thousand mu?"

While talking and joking, the four of them had already arrived outside the city gate. Qi Xing returned the reins to Xianglai, and the four said goodbye. The horse drove behind, and the hooves rumbled all the way back to Yanjiang Village.

Hurrying back to such a horse team already exceeded the total number of horses in Yanjiang Village. People in the village came out to watch the excitement again, and Xiang Lai Niang also went out of the courtyard, looking at the family belongings brought back by her daughter with a look of relief on her face.

Chen Zhengfa, the uncle of the West Courtyard, loves playing with animals the most, so he offered to let Xianglai release the horses. Xianglai knew that he was far more kind than Wang Erlin, so he nodded and agreed, and then handed over the horses to him.

After returning to the house, I walked around the house twice, but I didn't see my second aunt and Tianlai. Xianglai asked, "Mother, where did my second aunt and Tianlai go?"

When Xianglai heard her daughter's question, she sighed and said, "Oh, your second aunt's mother passed away, and your second aunt took Tianlai back to the funeral!"

Xianglai was stunned for a moment, the second aunt's natal family was in Wangjiazhuang, more than a dozen miles west of the official road, and her father had passed away long before the second aunt got married, and now her mother is also dead, so she must be very sad.So he said: "She didn't say when she would come back? I'll find someone to drive a car to pick them up."

Xiang Lai Niang said: "She didn't say this, who knows whether she burned the first seven or came back after seven."

Xianglai let out an "oh", untied the medicine bag that Xu Che had brought into the house, took out the medicines one by one, and said, "Mom, I bought you medicine again, you have to remember to take it on time , seeing that you are so weak now, you are out of breath after walking a few steps."

Xiang Lai Niang said: "Why did you buy these again? I told you that my mother is fine. It was like this when I was a child."

Xianglai said: "Who are you lying to? The second aunt said that your health is much worse than before, and she told you to go to Songning to see Dr. Han and you didn't go. It's not that you don't have money now. I really don't know what you think... ..."

Xianglai Niang didn't want to listen to her daughter's nagging, so she rolled up her sleeves and went to the kitchen to make dinner.

Xianglai remembered that the second aunt was not at home, so she hurried to help. After dinner, she told Xu Che that she must remember to carry water tomorrow, otherwise the second aunt was not at home, and the mother would be very tired to carry the water by herself.

When Xianglai was busy at home opening fields and building roads, Liang Youde had already been called to the Songning County Government Office by Chen Changzhi.

For the little Lizheng, the county magistrate is a big official. Liang Youde has been the Lizheng for several years, and this is the first time he has actually spoken to the county magistrate face to face. He is so nervous that he can hardly speak.

Chen Changzhi asked, "Are you Lizheng from Yanjiang Village?"

Liang Youde nodded repeatedly, and said, "Yes, the villain is right."

"How many years have you been upright?"

Liang Youde gestured with his hands: "The villain has been doing this for seven years!"

"Oh, seven years is not a short time. You should be very familiar with the situation in Yanjiang Village."

"That is, how many houses and households there are in the east and west villages, and the number of people in each household, the villain remembers clearly!"

"Do you know Chen Xianglai?"

Liang Youde was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said: "I know you, that girl! Tsk tsk..."

As he spoke, he smacked his teeth.

Chen Changzhi didn't understand what he meant, and said, "What's wrong with that girl? Tell me everything about her."

Liang Youde said: "That girl, it sounds wicked!"

"Evil?!"

Chen Changzhi didn't expect Liang Youde to come up with such a word, and said, "How about personality?"

Liang Youde started talking, and said: "That girl, let's talk about her origin first. Many people in the village say she is a wild breed, because she was not born in our village. When her father and mother came back, she was Holding her, no one knew how her father and mother got together, so no one knew whether the child belonged to Shen Wanlu. Of course, Shen Wanlu insisted that it belonged to his daughter. Nonsense!"

Chen Changzhi nodded and said, "Oh, what else?"

Liang Youde said: "The other thing is this temperament, that girl was not like this a few years ago, she was just like her mother, she was useless, she would cry when she saw a mouse, but once she fell from the room, she suddenly became evil Now, whoever dares to provoke her will be fine, her hall sister-in-law was beaten and kicked out of the Shen family by her, she really has no way out, so she went to be a concubine for others!"

Chen Changzhi heard that it was just gossip from parents, and said, "That's all?"

Liang Youde said: "Oh, if that's all I have to say to the adults, this is just the beginning, there will be more in the future!"

"Hurry up and tell me everything in one go."

Liang Youde said: "Yes, that villain will pick up the important ones and tell you! You can just talk about this kind of rice. From ancient times to the present, we have never grown that kind of thing in Beiliao, but that girl was stunned. It was planted, not only was it planted, she sold such an expensive thing without even leaving the house! And look at her, she brought a man back today, and brought a man back tomorrow, she is not a rich master Er is the master who dares to kill people, no one is easy to mess with, after following this and that, the family business has been raised by these people, but until now no one dares to propose a marriage, the key is such a woman, Who dares to marry..."
