The ugly wife of peasant family

The village head came out and saw several people standing in the yard, all of whom were village heads from nearby villages. He came forward and said, "Why are you here? What's the matter?"

They were all acquaintances, and several village heads didn't beat around the bush. "We heard that your village is going to build a school, right?"

"Yes."

"That's why we're here. After your school is built, can the children in our village come to school?"

"This..."

The village head hesitated for a moment. The school was built by Xia Xi. He couldn't be the master.

"I said, Lao Wei, our villages are close to each other. You have to help us anyway."

"Yes."

Rural people are poor, and there are no schools in every village. If children want to go to school, they have to go to schools outside shihaolidi. Every day, they delay a lot of time and are bullied by the local children. The school in the town couldn't afford to go. When they heard that Weijia village was going to build a school, they came over with old faces.

"This... I have to ask. You know, this school was built by Lady Xia. She paid for all the money. She also found the master. I can't be the master."

"When are you going to ask? We'll go with you."

"Come in, then. She's in the house."

When the village head said this, several people were stunned.

They saw a carriage at the door, but they didn't expect Xia Xi to come back.

When they came to the village head, they made an appointment and discussed what to say when they came.

But in the face of Xia Xi, they are really scared. After all, they have no friendship with others. If they don't agree, they can't help it.

Finally, a tall and thin village head gritted his teeth, "let's go in."

A few people went in.

Among them, except for village head Zhou, the other village heads have heard his name all the time, but haven't seen Xia Xi's face.

I saw that she was only a little woman about twenty years old. No one could say what she had just said when she came in.

Xia Xi heard what they had just said in her ears. Seeing how several people didn't know how to open their mouth, she first reached out and made a gesture of "please sit down, everyone. If you have anything to say, sit down and say."

"No, no more."

It's still the tall and thin one. Among the village leaders, he is the oldest. Whenever there's something wrong in several villages, he comes first.

Xia Xi is not forced to let, said with a smile, "I heard what you just said. It's OK to let the children go to school, but you have to hand in the bundle."

A few people face a joy, "that is of course, to other schools, we will pay as much."

"Well, everybody sit down and let's discuss how to build this school and how big it is."

A few people just sat down and discussed for half an hour. After discussing, they left contentedly.

Xia Xi gave the village head a hundred taels of silver, "you give this to brother Wei, let him keep a good account, if it's not enough, let the pillar take a message, I'll send it back."

"It doesn't take so much. It's about twenty or thirty taels of silver."

"Take it first. If there is any surplus, let brother Wei give it back to me."

The village head took it with a smile, folded it carefully and put it in.

There were footsteps in the courtyard. The village head's daughter-in-law and Wei Lian came back. Wei Lian took off the basket and put it on the ground carefully.

Xia Xi came out of the room, "aunt, sister Wei Lian."

"Lady Xia, when did you come here?"

The village head's daughter-in-law did not care to wipe the mud on her feet, so she quickly walked a few steps, "you wait, I'll boil water for you."

"Don't be busy, auntie. I'm not thirsty. This is..."

"It just rained a few days ago. Lian'er and I went to pick mushrooms on the mountain. Don't leave at noon. My aunt will stew fresh mushrooms for you."

"Mushroom?"

Xia Xi's eyes fall on Wei LIANGANG, who has put down the basket. There are many mushrooms in it, of any shape.

"Yes, every time after a heavy rain, there will be a lot of mushrooms on the mountain, and every family will go to pick them. Lian'er and I went late, and all the good ones were picked. We went to the mountain more and picked a lot."

When the village head heard this, he was shocked. "I told you not to go deep into the mountains. It's not safe."

"Not deep inside, just a little bit."

Xia Xi squatted beside the basket and looked at the mushrooms carefully. "Are these all picked on the mountain?"

"Yes, they are all fresh."

Xia Xi looked at several kinds, "aunt, please give me an empty basket."

The village head's daughter-in-law took the basket. Xia Xi put some mushrooms in the basket and stood up. "Uncle, aunt, I'm going back. If you have anything, please let someone take a message."

The village head's daughter-in-law mentioned the basket and wanted to pour mushrooms into her basket. "Then you can take back more. We can't eat so much."

Xia Xi moved the basket away. "Auntie, that's enough."

"Well, if it's not enough, say it to the pillar and I'll take it to you tomorrow."

"Good."

Xia Xi should go out, and after getting on the carriage, she told the coachman, "go to the villa!"

The coachman waved the whip and the horse ran quickly.

When we arrived at the entrance of the villa, we saw that it was her carriage. The guard opened the door directly and let the carriage in.

She hasn't come here for a long time. The housekeeper who was going to Fengche hospital to ask what to eat at noon was stunned when he saw the carriage. Then he trotted forward happily, "young lady, how can you come back when you have time?"

They all know what happened in Beijing. The housekeeper asks Fengche for instructions, and then calls Xia Xi's wife.

"Where is Fengche?"

"The young master is in the yard. I'm going to go there."

See Xia Xi carrying the basket, housekeeper hands to pick up, "old slave carrying it."

Xia Xi asked him to look at the mushrooms inside, "are there any such mushrooms in the mountains near us?"

"The old slave really doesn't know."

There is no shortage of food and clothing in the villa, so we will not go to the mountain for food.

"Go and call for some guards."

Housekeeper should be, turn round to call people.

Xia Xi went to the main courtyard with a basket. Feng an and Feng Zhong pushed the door open as soon as they saw him. "Young master, young lady is back."

Feng Che put down the letter in his hand. Since he left Beijing, Wu Meng wrote a letter every three days to tell him about the situation in the army.

Xia Xi strode into the room, "you two follow in."

Feng an and Feng Zhong take a look at each other, and then go in. Xia Xi puts the basket on the table and puts all kinds of mushrooms on the table. "You can take the two of you and the guards to the mountain to look for such mushrooms, and find as many as you have."

Feng Che's eyes narrowed. A few years ago, some people in Beijing ate mushrooms, but later someone was poisoned and died, so no one ate them any more.

Feng an and Feng Zhong also know that Xiang Fengche is the best.

"Go ahead."

They put the mushrooms one by one in the basket and carried them out.

Wind Che gets up, poured a glass of water to Xia Xi, put in her hand, "how to think of let a person look for mushroom?"
