Chapter 57: The Unlucky Peasant

[Ran^Text^Library] In March, the grass grows and the warbler flies, the mountain turns from tender green to bright green, and the rape flowers and apricot blossoms in the fields under the mountain reflect each other together.

Xinqiao Town is not far from the wharf of the Grand Canal in Dejing, and is the closest town near the back mountain of Lingshan, although it is not large, it is also very prosperous.

Just in time for the market day, the villagers of the three towns and five villages have rushed to come, some sell their own products, some buy daily necessities, the town is a piece of Ping, lively and extraordinary.

A farmer bought some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and found a villager selling mountain goods in Pingli, and saw that the villager had a depressed look on his face, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

The fellow sighed: "Hey, the oil mill is not open yet, I am thinking, what to do with the rapeseed harvested at home?" ”

"Yes, if you want to go to another oil mill, not to mention that the road will take two days, this season, I'm afraid that people won't accept it." The peasant's face also sank, and he sighed and said: "If I knew this, I shouldn't have listened to the eldest young master of the Yuan family, this year the fields have been planted with rapeseed, and now, I can't even get the capital back." ”

"You guys are better, it's just one or two acres of land, Zhang Shuo and they rented fifty acres of land in Zhuangzi, but they all planted rapeseed, and now they are all worried to death."

"Yes, my in-laws also rented the fields in Zhuangzi, hey, if the Yuan family didn't have an accident, the eldest young master of the Yuan family said that he could use rapeseed to offset the rent. Now their family still owes a lot of debt, and they don't know how to survive. ”

Hearing the words of the two of them, the villagers from a nearby village all gathered around, and you said everything I said.

A man in Tsing Yi with a hat listened to the audit, his brows furrowed unconsciously, and he was about to raise his feet when he heard shouts coming from the main street of the town, and some farmers who had put their stalls on the street picked up their things in a panic and dodged away.

A carriage, escorted by twenty tall horses, drove slowly, and the carriage was not only wider than the usual carriage, but also very ordinary, except for the pattern of a flying eagle embroidered on the drape.

What attracted people's attention was the knight on the horse, although he was wearing an ordinary power suit, he was tall and mighty, and the long sword and waist knife hanging from his waist were bright red tassels as if they were dyed with blood.

The eyes of the man in Tsing Yi shrank suddenly, and he saw that the carriage had stopped in front of a farmer who had fallen to the ground, and then, a purple-clothed maid got out of the cart and reached out to help a little girl wearing a plain white dress and a white hairband with a white hairband on her head.

"Where is this noble?"

"Don't care where it is, get out of the way, we can't afford to mess with this posture."

The villagers around him rolled things up to make way, and the brows of the people in Tsing Yi furrowed, and their bodies swept and flashed behind the trees.

Frowning and looking at the chaos in the ping, Gu Xinyue raised her head and said, "Qin Qi, I won't take the carriage anymore, just find a place for the carriage to stop." ”

Retracting his gaze from the big tree, Qin Qi said: "There are still more than twenty miles away from Zhuangzi here, girl, do you want to ......?"

"I ride a horse." After Gu Xinyue interrupted him, she turned her head and asked Zisu, "Do you know how to ride?" ”

Lowering his eyes that flashed with surprise for a moment, Shisu nodded and said, "I learned from my father." ”

"You can ride?" Qin Qi glared at Gu Xinyue and said.

If you know how to ride, you'll have a ghost!

"Really, I don't know how to take me!" Glancing at Qin Qi, Gu Xinyue pointed to a horse that looked a little thinner and said, "Give this one to us." ”

Immediately the personal guard was He Niu, hearing Gu Xinyue say, while sliding down, he went to look at Qin Qi, and when he saw Qin Qi's head, he jumped down directly and handed the reins to Zisu.

Qin Qi glanced at He Niu, watched Zi Su skillfully get on the horse, and then pulled Gu Xinyue on the horse and sat down on the side in front, lifted the reins, and said, "Turn around from the side, don't disturb the people." ”

The horses walked away from the side alley, and the carriage retreated, and it wasn't long before the pingli was restored to its previous bustle.

"Whose noble man is this?" A farmer sighed.

Looking at this posture, it is the home of the powerful, in the past, when the Yuan family came, they didn't care about any gatherings at all, they drove people away directly, but they never avoided it themselves.

"Hey, I see that they are going in the direction of the Yuan family's Zhuangzi, and yesterday I heard that the Zhuangzi has a new owner."

"New owner? Really? ”

"Really, I also brought back a few people from the Yuan family, and the dozen or so big men they came wore the same clothes as these people."

"That is, the oil mill can be opened? Let's go, hurry back, if the oil mill can be opened, our rapeseed won't have to worry. ”

The villagers ran away with their things, and no one paid attention to the sudden chilling aura on the Tsing Yi man behind the tree.

When He Niu changed his clothes and went into the market to chat with people, the man in Tsing Yi behind the tree had disappeared.

After Xinqiao Town, you will enter the mountainous area, between the undulating hills are densely covered with valleys, and then enter for more than ten miles, the mountains will be taller, and the area of the valley formed is much larger.

When turning a corner, a field of golden rape flowers appeared in front of her, and Gu Xinyue's eyes suddenly lit up.

The flower fields are undulating along the mountain, and some of the sunny ones have already produced heavy rapeseeds, and the yield must be good.

"Zisu, these fields, but they belong to our Zhuangzi?" Gu Xinyue looked left and right, estimating the output in her heart, and asked casually.

Zi Su was silent for a moment and said: "I don't know this very well, I only heard my father say that the Zhuangzi fields on this side of Xinqiao are very scattered and are all in the valley, so it is not easy to collect rent." ”

Gu Xinyue knew that there were big and small valleys here, the big ones were only a dozen acres of land, the small ones were only one or two acres of fields, and most of the rape fields were reclaimed on the hillside.

With a move in her heart, Gu Xinyue said: "Then did your father say that Zhuangzi here can use rapeseed to offset part of the field rent?" ”

Zi Su raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at her smiling side face, and said, "The slave doesn't know." ”

Gu Xinyue glanced back at her, smiled deeply in her eyes, and turned her head away.

In the past half a month, she can't understand these people in the Yuan family, and she can't understand this perilla.

Yuan Zheng's son went to the horse corridor to do things honestly after visiting the backyard a few times, for this reason, Qin Qi also deliberately asked someone to keep an eye on him to prevent him from being bad in the horse material, and the others were all in their own way, that is, the eyes always glanced at Qin Qi, and he approached Qin Qi's Nenghong by washing clothes or something, and he never left the main courtyard again.

And this perilla is even more honest and makes her heart move.

She is not only good-looking, has a good temperament, and has elegant manners, but also writes beautifully, whether it is regular script or line script, she is chic and full of charm.

Most importantly, she is very low-key and not very eventful.

If you want her to do it, she will be 12 points satisfied, don't want her to do it, she will never appear in front of you.

If Gu Xinyue suspected that this person wanted to get close to her and kill her, now, Gu Xinyue really can't think of what these people want to do.

To say that they are really honest with her.

I won't believe it if I kill it.

"Get out of the way, don't make a fuss here!"

"Okay, okay, we will rely on these rapeseeds, it was also your eldest young master who asked us to plant them, and now they say no, our family's little savings are in these fields, you don't want to do it, how can we live!"

"What young master? The Yuan family is long gone! You want to find the eldest young master of the Yuan family, go underground to find it! ”

In the distance, a chaotic noise pierced through.

And a blue brick house in the valley also appeared in front of me.
