Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 133
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Feng first pushed Piaoxu: "Get up, go and serve the old lady, I will sleep for a while!"

Piaoxu had no choice but to get up alone, put on her clothes and shoes, rolled up her hair and walked out.

She didn't care about washing up, so she went to the old lady's room first, and helped the old lady sit up slowly.

The old lady had a sullen face and refused to speak all the time, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

In the end, he put on a casual questioning tone: "Last night, did you really see a ghost?"

Piaoxu nodded heavily with a pale face.

"You didn't fool my old lady, did you?" Mrs. Ye asked suspiciously.

"Grandma, how dare we?" Piaoxu said aggrievedly.

"Then tell me, what did you see last night?" Old Mrs. Ye coughed and glanced at her.

This is not an old house, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and Mrs. Ye can't put on airs and speak in her usual violent and mean temper early in the morning, so she can only speak up.

Piaoxu lowered her head and told everything she saw last night in detail. After she finished speaking, she couldn't recover for a long time.

The old lady was frightened, and after a while, she came back to her senses and said, "If you dare to scare me, you bastard, I'll cut off your tongue! And rot your eyes! Even if I don't do this, you If you dare to harm the old man, God will also let you be struck by lightning!"

"Don't dare, dare not..." Piaoxu said hastily.

Mrs. Ye muttered again: "Is this house really so evil? I knew that dead girl who killed a thousand swords was not so kind, and let me live in it? I'm afraid that after I die here, she will not be there. You are the master of the house! Black-hearted and rotten dog! Pooh! Not even a dog!"

Piaoxu didn't answer. With a tired face, she waited for Mrs. Ye to get dressed, and then went outside to get her a basin of washing water.

The old lady Ye didn't dare to behave wildly in the new house, so she had no choice but to vent her anger on the catkins secretly in a depressed mood. She tossed the catkins so hard early in the morning that she really regarded her as a servant Maid.

It wasn't until she was tortured until she was covered in sweat that Old Madam Ye felt a little more at ease, and her fear of this house was also reduced a bit.

Today, when Ye Qiongdan went out, he received a lot of attention from the village.

Ye Fengxian murmured about the haunting in the new house last night, which has spread throughout Shanghe Village.

"I think that house is really evil! Aren't those houses burned before? Why were they burned? It must be that the ghosts in the house were dissatisfied with someone living in, and set them on fire on purpose!"

"Is there such a wicked way? It's weird to say it! In the open sky, don't think about it, maybe Ye Feng first ate too much human blood steamed bread from the second and third rooms, and now he lives in the house bought by the third room, feeling a little panicked." If you are uneasy, you will start to have nightmares."

"Will Ye Fengxian feel uneasy because he ate too many other people's blood steamed buns? Are you kidding me? He doesn't look like a person with a conscience. If you want me to tell you, they must have gone to hell! Think about it , After those houses caught fire, you didn’t see the person who set it on fire, right? No one lost anything in their new house, right? Then it must not be set by someone, otherwise, what are they trying to do? It must be a ghost I wanted to scare them away. Unexpectedly, people didn’t scare them, and they brought a few more living people into the house!”

"Whether it's a real ghost or a fake ghost, we'll know in a few days. But, let's walk around their house these few days, look how bad luck it is!"

……

Even a few villagers came over to persuade Ye Qiongdan.

Someone persuaded her to move away, someone advised her to invite the master to visit the house, and someone advised her to burn more paper money in the haunted room.

However, Ye Qiongdan just laughed it off, and went to the Jiuwei Restaurant in the town with Ye Qinghan.

The business of Jiuwei Restaurant is still very good. After selling out the evening meal, Ye Qiongdan was about to hang up the closing sign when he saw the girl Xue coming with a cart.

"Huh? Why are you here at this time?" Ye Qiongdan asked curiously.

"Sister Adan, something serious happened!" Xue girl frowned, jumped off the cart, pointed at the cart with some guilt and said, "Today, we got nothing. Sold it to us."

"What's going on here?" Ye Qiongdan's face changed slightly.

"It's Manager Fu who's playing tricks!" Snow Maiden entered the shop, took out two clean bowls, poured two bowls of cold boiled water, and handed them to the two guys who went with her to collect wild bracken, and then said, " Manager Fu sent people early today to collect wild bracken in Shili Baxiang. The price we collect wild bracken is now changed to one penny and three catties, but the price they collect wild bracken is three pennies. Jin, now, no one is willing to sell wild bracken to us!"

"Three cents a catty? Is Manager Fu crazy? He doesn't know how to astringe fresh wild bracken, and he doesn't understand the complicated drying process of bracken. What's the use of holding these wild bracken?" ? Take it home for collection?" Ye Qiongdan sneered and frowned.

"I don't know," Snow Maiden said in embarrassment, "Adan, shall we still collect wild bracken?"

"You can look at the situation in the next two days. If you really can't get wild bracken, then you can collect more wood chips, or collect more wild shepherd's purse in these ten miles and eight townships. Aren't there many people eating?" Ye Qiongdan said nonchalantly.

"What about the wild bracken?" Snow girl asked worriedly.

Ye Qiongdan pondered for a while, then smiled slightly: "You don't have to worry about the wild bracken. Let's see if Manager Fu is serious about it. If he is serious about it, then I have a trick to make him He shot himself in the foot with a rock."

"really?"

"It's true." Ye Qiongdan showed a mysterious smile.

"Then if we just started harvesting wild shepherd's purse, then Manager Fu would follow suit?"

"That's not true. He's not stupid. He will see in a few days that the wild vegetables we collect are very small. We only want to meet the daily needs of the restaurant. We mainly want to stock up wild ferns to make ferns. The vegetables are dry." Ye Qiongdan sighed, "Let's focus on collecting sawdust for now."

The next day, Qingyuan County.

The afternoon sun shone obliquely into the carved window, the table was a little hot, reflecting the fiery eyes, making it a bit dazzling.

The dust in the air danced slightly and landed on an orchid by the window.

Ye Qiongdan sat at the table, facing several plates of snacks and a pot of tea.

The tea was already completely cold, but the snacks on the table were not touched at all.

Ye Qiongdan quietly looked at the orchids by the window. She was dressed in green, just like the unopened orchids, exuding elegance and serenity, making one unable to help but look at her frequently.

She has been waiting in this living room for more than an hour.

The maid in the room was standing, looking at her nose and heart, and would glance at her occasionally, praising her for being so personable, she really doesn't look like that country girl.

The maids were waiting patiently for her to leave, because they knew that the steward had left her here, so they definitely had no intention of seeing her.

Although she was very happy to join Steward Fu's army before, but Steward He thinks it was just an accident, she is just a yellow-haired girl from the countryside, she is not worthy of his high regard!

In the living room, Ye Qiongdan was calm. She drank the cold tea very naturally, without any displeasure in her eyes, as if she was admiring the orchid on the window sill.

"Squeak-"

Finally, the folding door rang.

He walked in, shaking his fan, and looked at her with some surprise: "I thought Shopkeeper Ye couldn't wait any longer, and left long ago!"

"I wanted to come here today to deliver good news to the steward, so how could I be willing to leave?" Ye Qiongdan smiled slightly.

"Good news?" He steward put away the folding fan and tapped on his palm, "You must be in a state of distress now, right? How can you give me good news? Besides, this is Qingyuan County, not Qinghe County , There is no friendship between us. Could it be that you are willing to come to Qingyuan County to cooperate with me?"

"That's right, I just want to come to Qingyuan County to cooperate with you." Ye Qiongdan picked up a teacup, poured him a cup of tea slowly, and said slowly, "I think this win-win cooperation, and The steward must be interested."

"You have a big appetite. You just became the owner of Quanfulou in Qinghe County, and immediately came to make up my mind. Are you not afraid that if you take too big a step, you will fall hard?" He said with the steward He didn't show any interest, but put on airs instead.

He didn't think this little girl was qualified to discuss cooperation with him.

"I believe that He and Guanshi will not let me down. After all, the enemy of an enemy is a friend!" Ye Qiongdan raised his eyebrows slightly, looking straight at him.

Look away from the manager, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea: "Do you want to deal with the manager?"

"Yes."

"You want to use my strength to deal with Manager Fu?" Manager He snorted coldly, "Master Ye, I advise you to give up, I'm not the same idiot as Manager Fu, who spends money on money-losing business , just for the sake of my heart, I will not do this."

"I know that your goal is to become the chief steward of Yiling County. Naturally, you won't do such a loss-making business."

"I didn't say that." He scowled with the steward.

"Looking at the entire Yiling County, besides you, is there anyone else who can be the next head of Yiling County?" Ye Qiongdan smiled slightly.

The steward's attitude slowed down a little, nodded, and said with satisfaction: "You little girl, you have some discernment. However, don't think that you can lead me away by your nose if you praise me a few words. All businessmen in the world can't get up early without profit, if I don't see the benefit, I won't spare my hand to help you."

Ye Qiongdan took a deep breath, and understood the nature of being in charge.

"He Guanshi, can I trust you?"

"At least my reputation is better than being in charge with a smiling face. However, I didn't say I would help you." He said lukewarmly.

"And steward, I would like to ask you for a favor today. In return, I will let you sit firmly as the chief steward of Yiling County this year!" Ye Qiongdan said loudly.

"Oh, you are such a toad yawning, so loud! Just you?" He hooked his lips with the steward and said contemptuously.

"Yes! Just rely on me! And the steward, do you dare to trust me once?"

"How can I trust you?"
