Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 357
Ye Jinyu, on the other hand, smiled heartily, "Brother Dongfang, you must do what my sister told you with your heart, and don't make any mistakes!"

"Okay, okay, got it!"

Dongfang Tou bid farewell to the two of them and left as if fleeing. When Ye Jinyu saw him again, he didn't cry and make a fuss, but faced him so calmly. He suddenly felt uncomfortable, and wondered to himself if she hadn't given up on marrying him yet. The plan for him?
But this kind of thing can't be done again. If he says some hurtful words, even Ji Chonglian will not let him go. The only way to do this is to write a letter and go back to find out what the family members say. It is estimated that ten large sheets of paper have been written to scold him eloquently.

Maybe he'll have to wait a little longer.

Seeing Dongfang Tou's back disappearing from sight, Ye Jinyu let out a long breath, and said softly, "Sister, I'm so stupid... I wanted to check if he would regret it, but seeing him like this I knew from the appearance that he really never liked me!"

Ji Chonglian patted Ye Jinyu's shoulder, and comforted her: "Time goes by, no amount of pain will pass, you are still so young, you deserve better people in the future!"

Ye Jinyu sniffed, her eyes turned slightly red, but she never shed a single tear for Dongfang Tou.

While the two were talking, An Ye twisted a maid into the flower hall, stretched out her hand to send it to the front, and the maid shrank and knelt down on the ground.

An Ye pointed, with a cold expression, "Ma'am, just now this maid was secretly listening to you under the window of the flower hall."

"Oh?"

Ji Chonglian sneered, "Raise your head!"

The maid knew that there was no way to hide, so she slowly raised her head, her expression was tense, and she kept begging for mercy: "Ma'am, this maid is here to find Ju'er, and I didn't mean to eavesdrop, Madam, please forgive me." Get the servant girl!"

"An Ye, go and see who the lady guarding the gate is today. She even dared to let outsiders in privately. Send me to Miss Shen together. Let's see how this servant who dares to covet the privacy of the master should be punished!"

Ji Chonglian glanced at the girl coldly, she was already trembling uncontrollably, An Ye didn't give her a chance to speak again, so he stretched out his hand and carried her out.

"Sister, it must be someone sent by Shen Xinyou, she is really too much!"

Ye Jinyu's face also darkened. Although she disdains these tricks in the back house, she still understands a little bit after hearing them from a young age. Now, apart from Ji Chonglian, only Shen Xinyou is half the master in the house. Ji Chonglian will never let anyone come to watch her For herself, only Shen Xinyou is left. She has the motivation and the power to control these people.

"Just this trick, it really made me underestimate her!"

Ji Chonglian snorted softly, clapped her hands and said: "Hurry up, when Ayan returns home, she should have a decision."

Ji Chonglian couldn't deal with Shen Xinyou behind Pei Yan's back, what would become of her, and what would Pei Yan think of her?

Even if Shen Xinyou wanted to leave, she had to do it openly, so that Pei Yan could see clearly what Shen Xinyou wanted, so as not to be confused by her pitiful appearance again.

As a result, according to An Ye's report, Shen Xinyou punished the gatekeeper's mother-in-law and maid ten times each, and then they were transferred to the laundry room as errands, and the gatekeepers were reassigned.

On the second day, Shen Xinyou even came to apologize to Ji Chonglian for this matter, only saying that she didn't discipline her well, which made the servants become frivolous, so that they couldn't see who they were, and even withheld three months' monthly payment.

It was only at this time that Ji Chonglian knew that Shen Xinyou was working in Pei's mansion with monthly allowances. It seemed that Pei Yan was fair at the beginning and didn't plan to raise an idler. I'm afraid others didn't know about such a rewarding relationship, so she slowly raised her. Shen Xinyou's ambition.

Hearing this, Lin Tao couldn't help but smiled and stabbed Shen Xinyou, "Then we should call Miss Shen Manager Shen."

Shen Xinyou's face froze, but she didn't say anything, she only apologized to Ji Chonglian a few more words, and then hurriedly retreated.

Caiqiu glanced at Lin Tao, and said worriedly: "You target Miss Shen everywhere like this, be careful that she will give you small shoes to wear when you are not paying attention!"

"Am I afraid of her?!"

Lin Tao snorted softly, obviously a little unconcerned, "She doesn't know how to behave herself, and she allows those wives to misunderstand and don't clarify, why should she be afraid of others telling the truth?!"

Ji Chonglian shook her head, but her thoughts were not on this, but on what was going on with Dongfang Tou.

In fact, when Dongfang Tou rushed to King Yan's mansion overnight to report the matter to King Yan, all the staff in the mansion were stunned. Why didn't they think of such a simple truth, and went to the edge of it instead.

King Yan laughed out loud, and praised Dongfang Tou, but he didn't dare to claim the credit, so he confessed to Ji Chonglian again, and King Yan naturally praised Pei Yan's vision, and said: If this method works, Ji Chonglian will be rewarded heavily.

The aides of the palace spent the whole night researching how to attract the birds. On the second day, they conducted a small-scale experiment, stir-frying them with sunken millet in the cellar, and the fragrance really attracted many sparrows. There are hundreds, but these are far from enough.

But since he knew that fried millet could attract birds, it was much easier to handle. King Yan also ordered people to rush to make several cauldrons of fried millet and set them up beside the field outside the city to prepare for the locust plague. .

And the people of Liangcheng saw that the king of Yan was doing so much to prevent locusts and control the disaster by himself, so they also mustered up their energy, helping the people in the palace to help the people in the palace, and they were very busy.

Until the day when the locust plague approached, the people of Liangcheng were united from top to bottom, and their houses were closed. Except for the servants of the palace who surrounded the hats and wore windproof hats to fry millet to attract birds, the pavement on the street had already closed in advance. None of the passers-by.

Ji Chonglian and a group of women and children naturally also stayed at home, waiting anxiously for the result of the locust plague passing through the border.

Dongfang Tou was quite courageous. He took a set of special straw hats and windproof hats in the palace, and witnessed the whole process of the locust plague coming. With his report, Ji Chonglian and the others also knew the general situation of that day.

Seeing from afar the black locusts attacking like covering the sky and closing the sun, the servants of the palace immediately took the lid and covered the fried millet, and the birds who couldn't find food suddenly chirped in the air Hovering and flying screaming non-stop, at this time they just saw locusts flying over, and when the two met, a fierce battle naturally broke out.

"You don't know the scene that day, it really makes people's blood boil!"

Dongfang Tou was so frothy, he took the tea from Caiqiu and poured a half-gu, and then said: "The birds are just the first wave of confrontation, do you know that the swallows The king also raised two goshawks. These two eagles were extremely ferocious, but they were released by King Yan that day. These two goshawks were also spiritual. I went to harass for a while, and finally a group of black eagles ushered in. Even though these eagles don’t eat locusts, the strength of their wings is enough to kill a large piece of locusts. That scene was really thrilling. Didn’t you It’s a shame to be there to watch!”

Ye Jinyu was so excited when he heard it, he even forgot to swallow the snacks he put into his mouth, and only asked, "What happened next, what happened later?"

"Later..."

Dongfang Tou smiled, purposely sold out an official, and glanced around unhurriedly, seeing the look of anticipation in everyone's eyes, then continued: "This time the locust plague does not mean that we will wipe out all those locusts." , at least [-]% of them died, the loss is the smallest, our Liangcheng will definitely not have a disaster year this year!"

"This is really good!"

Ye Jinyu touched her palms and stood up, but she didn't want the snack in her mouth to accidentally get stuck in her throat. She immediately coughed violently. Cai Qiu hurriedly stepped forward to help her back, and then poured another cup of tea to slowly relieve her pain. Come on.

At this time, Lin Tao asked curiously again: "Master Dongfang, can't those dead sparrows and black eagles still be made into food?"

"That is!"

Dongfang Tou nodded, "Although they can be regarded as helping Liangcheng survive this catastrophe, it is not a solution to leave the corpses to rot. The King of Yan asked the people to distribute them on the spot. As for the dead locusts, each of the people who raised poultry swept several baskets and carried them back to feed the chickens!"

Ji Chonglian breathed a sigh of relief, clasped her hands together and said to the Buddha, "Fortunately, with the blessing of the Bodhisattva, Liangcheng can survive this calamity!"

Dongfang smiled and looked at Ji Chonglian with admiration on his face, "Sister-in-law, how can you say that, it is obviously your credit, and King Yan even said that he will reward you!"

Ji Chonglian shook her head and said with a smile: "I just came up with a clumsy idea, and the actual implementation is not handled by the people in the palace. I figured it out."

"Why not?"

Dongfang Tou, on the other hand, refused to follow, and was persistently stubborn, "If it wasn't for my sister-in-law's contribution, those staff members would not be able to think of it! Whoever solved the siege of the locust plague in Liangcheng, my sister-in-law deserves the credit!"

"We're not sure about what we're going to say. King Yan will make his own conclusion then."

Ji Chonglian didn't care about this, she just wanted to stop Dongfang Tou from delving into this topic, but she was still happy to help the people of Liangcheng.
