Small peasant girl in space: under the fence of the flower field

Chapter 302 Her Heart
Hua Xiaoqiao shrugged her shoulders and answered nonchalantly: "We haven't figured out the specifics yet. If you don't agree, we won't be able to make the next decision. The key to all this is you, so I want to Just ask what you think."

Enduring the excitement in his heart, Qin Muan didn't understand why Hua Xiaoqiao did this, and asked, "Although you used to love money, you girl didn't have such courage. What is the reason why you have such courage?"

Hua Xiaoqiao sighed and looked at Qin Mu helplessly and said, "This is something that can't be helped. You don't know that I have a conflict with a lady in the capital, it's just a bet between us."

"Gambling?" Qin Mu asked even more curiously, "Please tell me what's wrong with you, who is not such an impulsive person."

Hua Xiaoqiao shrugged her shoulders and said: "It's not because I speak fast and because I don't like to see the lady's arrogant appearance, so I opened my mouth directly. It can be regarded as my own boasting, but I have to bite the bullet and work hard." If I can't keep up with her Lan family within five years, then I can only do some things I don't want to do."

She herself is still very competitive. Although sometimes she regrets the decision she made at the beginning, but now that the bet has been made, she can't tolerate what happens to her mother-in-law. No matter what, she must go forward bravely and cannot think about it. and backed away.

Qin Mu shook his head with a sigh and said, "It's no big deal, Xiao Qiao. In my opinion, it's pretty good that you can have the fortune you have today. As long as you continue to work hard, you will be able to achieve something."

"I hope, it's just that you have to think about the matter of the bank, my lord. I don't dare to say that if the real bank makes money and you need money, I will help, and I also plan to open a store by myself now. I opened it in the capital. You know, the business of the flower shop is not bad, and it can earn a lot of money in a year." She was a little excited like a child wanting to be encouraged by an adult, and she was talking about her own affairs.

What Qin Mu likes to see most is Hua Xiaoqiao's appearance. It is rare to see a woman who is confident and has her own opinions.

"Little Qiao has nothing to think about. Didn't I just say that I don't have the talent to do business? It would be great if you can help me. If you can't help me, I can only find another way, but I will stick to it no matter what. , the one who emerges from adversity is the king, I will always remember this sentence.”

He was very confident. At this moment, the officers and soldiers outside shouted: "General Kang is here."

Hua Xiaoqiao stood up at a loss, Qin Mu quickly comforted: "Don't worry, General Kang is not an outsider, you don't have to avoid it."

Just after Qin Mu finished speaking, a majestic general in armor walked in. The most eye-catching thing about General Kang was his beard. As soon as he entered the tent, he said loudly: "My lord, those sons of bitches! Didn't do anything to you, this group of grandsons who only know how to play tricks behind the scenes dare not fight with grandpa on the battlefield, but they actually want to assassinate the prince, it's really hateful."

General Kang said indignantly, his eyes fell on Hua Xiaoqiao, and he asked, "Who is this skinny kid with little flesh?"

Hua Xiaoqiao only thinks that General Kang is too forthright when speaking, it's just that she's so skinny, she's a bit baby fat now anyway.

She didn't answer because she could tell it was a woman as soon as she opened her mouth, and she really couldn't pretend that she had a voice.

Qin Mu laughed loudly and said to General Kang: "It's not good for General Kang to say that to a girl."

"Girls." General Kang was surprised that girls were mixed into the barracks, and it was Qin Mu who brought it back. This is a big gossip. He looked up and down in surprise. Xiao Qiao didn't see Hua. What's so great about Little Joe.

"General, why did you bring a little girl to the barracks? The training in this barracks is very rude. It would be bad if you scare the little girl." General Kang thought Hua Xiaoqiao was very interesting.

Hua Xiaoqiao was quite courageous at first, after General Kang said a few words, he realized that he was actually a straightforward person.

So I dared to say: "I won't be scared."

Seeing Hua Xiaoqiao's retort, Qin Mu laughed heartily: "General Kang can rest assured about this, this girl is brave if she has nothing else to do, you have seen that girl who dared to directly help someone to block the knife, you see I used to see that girl running around the two countries to do business, and you have seen that girl who opened a shop when she was only ten years old."

These words made General Kang, who was about to read a joke, speechless. He looked at Hua Xiaoqiao in surprise and said: "Grandma, Mr. Xiong, what you said is all false, what kind of girl has such skills, even It’s because none of my kids have such courage.”

Qin Mu looked at Hua Xiaoqiao with a smile and said: "Miss Hua in front of you is just that. When I was in Tongzhou earlier, an assassin wanted to assassinate me. If she hadn't helped me block the knife, I'm afraid I would have... , Miss Hua is now doing business in the capital."

General Kang knew that Qin Mu would not lie, so he believed it when he heard what Qin Mu said, but the surprise in his eyes only increased: "I didn't expect this little girl to have such abilities. It really worries me that none of the many daughters has such courage."

General Kang felt indignant that he was an imposing general, but he raised so many daughters who were not domineering at all. No matter how he thought about it, he felt a little unhappy.

He hoped that the daughter he raised would be astonishingly talented, so he would be worthy of being his daughter, but the daughters in the family were not cute at all, and no matter how he thought about it, he felt unhappy.

Hua Xiaoqiao and Qin Mu looked at each other helplessly. General Kang didn't understand why General Kang had such an idea.

This is how many times General Kang complained in front of him. Qin Mu comforted him: "Isn't it great that all the daughters of your family are ladies, General Kang? I think all the girls in your family are very good." , Why do you have to have amazing talents? Isn’t this what men should do? You should not be dissatisfied. Xiao Qiao is completely an exception. Stop feeling emotional here."

General Kang has a brain, and when he heard Qin Mu say this, he opened his mouth: "Why are you forced to be helpless? Your words, my lord, remind me that my girl really doesn't seem to have had a hard life. No, go back this time. I must let my girls live a hard life one by one, I am upset when I see that delicate look."

Hua Xiaoqiao likes General Kang's personality very much, but thinks that General Kang is a man of temperament, so she smiled and said: "If General Kang said that, if the daughter of the family heard it, I'm afraid she would be sad. What the prince said is true. I was also forced to be helpless. I couldn’t afford food at home. My brother was still young and had to support me and my brother. So I wanted to help my brother lighten a little burden. It’s already hard to turn back after taking the first step. The reason why I have come to this day is because there is no way to do it, I am very envious of those ladies in General Kang’s family, all of them can live at home with rich clothes and good food, and don’t have to worry about eating today and being hungry tomorrow.”

General Kang sighed and did not continue the topic, looked at Qin Mu and said, "Did the group of people today understand who they are?"

Qin Mu signaled General Kang to sit down, Hua Xiaoqiao took the initiative to pour tea for General Kang and stood beside Qin Mu, listening.

"I don't know. I guess it's not from the enemy country. I heard one of them talking, and I'm afraid it's from Jinxiu City. Now he hates me so much that I wish I would disappear in front of his eyes. There is always the first time and the second." We'll have to be more careful next time."

General Kang took a deep breath and his eyes were full of worry: "This matter is really difficult to handle, what is your plan, my lord? Could it be that you can't just let them bully you? Even if you want to ignore this matter, I won't let him go." .”

Qin Mu hurriedly stopped: "General Kang, I understand your kindness, but it's not the right time. Most of the ministers in the court are his people. If we take action, I'm afraid that many people will be involved. At that time, internal and external troubles are not something we can handle. Yes, the soldiers have been working hard during this time, I think everyone should take a good rest, and we will deal with this matter properly when everything is settled."

General Kang nodded and felt that what Qin Mu said made sense.

Hua Xiaoqiao stood aside and listened carefully, feeling that it was really not easy for Qin Mu, and she really didn't know how much effort she had put into surviving in such an environment.

General Kang thought of another thing: "Where is the military salary that was said to be paid in a month?"

The most important thing for the soldiers to eat and sleep outside is to look forward to the military pay. After all, everyone has a family, and many have parents who need to support them. What they need is money. Fighting at the border is throwing your life outside. , what he cares most about is the military salary.

Qin Mu sighed and was very worried about this matter, shaking his head and said: "I don't know where the first batch of military pay that was said to be paid is now, I have sent someone to check it out, but some wounded soldiers need to arrange for a few thousand taels The silver problem is that now I don’t even have a few thousand taels of silver, so I’ve sold all the shops in Tongzhou City.”

Qin Mu is very considerate of the soldiers at the border. Those who are injured and unable to go to the battlefield must be sent home, and what they need is money. Qin Mu doesn't know where the money comes from. This is the most worrying thing now.

General Kang frowned and was very sad. These are his own soldiers, which are equivalent to his own sons. I am really sorry for them all being injured and unable to go home and think about it.

"Or I'll sell my family's land so that..." General Kang thought that if he still had dozens of acres of fertile land to sell, it would be enough to accommodate the injured soldiers this time.

Qin Mu quickly refused: "No, no, General Kang, how can I still make you spend money, you have done too much for the soldiers, let me find a way this time."

Hua Xiaoqiao didn't know that Qin Mu was in such a difficult situation. She bit her lips and thought that there were more than 1 taels of silver in her space, and said, "I have it here. If there is too much, I will definitely not be able to get it out, but 1 taels has never been a problem. Take it and use it first."

She herself values ​​money very much, but when she thinks about those wounded soldiers, she feels a little uncomfortable. Settling these soldiers needs money and future life arrangements. She can do business safely because of these soldiers. Speaking of which, everyone is flesh and blood. How can a person with a heart stand by and ignore everything.

Qin Mu and General Kang refused almost in unison: "No." General Kang was very grateful to Hua Xiaoqiao for coming forward but said: "Little girl, it is not easy for you to make money. You have also seen the situation at our border, and I can't guarantee anything." I will pay you back when there is money, if not, I don’t know when it will be delayed, so we absolutely can’t ask for your money, thank you for your kindness.”

General Kang said gratefully that these thanks came from the heart.

Qin Mu also said, "Yes, Xiao Qiao, how can we ask for your money? You earned it yourself and you still want to continue to do business in the future. You can save it well. We can think of other things. There is a way, besides, if the military salary arrives, we will have silver."

Hearing what the two said, Hua Xiaoqiao strengthened her heart: "I told you to take the money, but don't treat me like a woman and be reluctant to take it. These money are all from my heart and Qin Mu's. Have you forgotten the silver you gave me when I left? If you hadn’t given me the silver back then, how could I be where I am now? It won’t be too late to return the silver to me after you win the battle, and I need the silver myself Not now, besides, it is very easy to find money. I can sell a few more flowers and plants. Those injured soldiers can no longer go to the battlefield. It is actually the best to send them home early. This country has made too many sacrifices, and they must not be left alone."

When Hua Xiaoqiao said this, her voice was a little choked up. This is a real battle with real knives and guns. How painful it must be to be injured.

General Kang's eyes turned red when Hua Xiaoqiao said it. It was the first time that he, a man of seven feet, showed such a distressed side in front of a little girl.

He turned around and wiped away the tears on his face so that Hua Xiaoqiao and Qin Mu could not see him.

The banknotes were all placed in the space, Hua Xiaoqiao pretended to take them out from her cuffs, counted them and handed them to Qin Mu.

"Here are 1 taels of silver notes. You count them yourself." Hua Xiaoqiao moved neatly, Qin Mu was dumbfounded and said, "Little Qiao, why do you carry so many silver notes with you? What if you are in danger? "

Hua Xiaoqiao shrugged and said: "It will be unlucky to meet you. You also know that I have no relatives other than my brother and younger brother. They don't want my money, so I can only keep it by myself. Put it on me, anyway. I have a sense of security, and I put it away very carefully, how could others know that a little girl like me has so much money in my family, so you just hold these silver notes and don’t say anything else.”
