Chapter 39: Sweet and Sweet
The old man of Zhizhou is going to take a concubine, and he is still accepting his daughter-in-law who just started four months ago, this news simply plunged Luoyang City into a big storm, and the people in the streets and alleys talked about it to prove that their news was not lagging behind.
Xi Yunzhi felt that it was rare for this Lord Lu to be so open-minded, not to mention that he had occupied his daughter-in-law, and dared to take her as a concubine in a grand manner, and by doing so, it was equivalent to cutting off the threat to him from Shang Su'e and the Zhou family, and the Xi family didn't know what the reaction was.
Originally, Xi Yunzhi didn't know the process, but since Xi Yunchun came to show her goodwill that day, he came to her store to report almost every day, and then showed her first-hand news in a gloating tone.
"The second aunt cries all day long, and she cries in front of the old lady, the old lady let the fifth aunt take full responsibility to deal with it, but the fifth aunt really dealt with it, she went directly to the Zhizhou Mansion to ask the Zhizhou master to divorce his wife and let Yunxiu's sister be the main room."
Xi Yunzhi stood behind the counter to settle the accounts, and when he heard Xi Yunchun speak like this, he raised his head and asked in surprise:
"Then what did the Lu family say?"
Xi Yunchun sneered: "What can you say?" I don't know what the intention of the fifth aunt's move is, how could the Lu family agree, Lord Lu accepted his daughter-in-law, although it is a big joke, but it can also explain the cause of love, and I can't help it, if I divorce my wife for this reason, then the Lu family really doesn't want Luoyang City to raise his head and be a man. ”
"Oh."
Xi Yunzhi thought about it, so he continued to bury his head, but listened to Xi Yunchun continue to say without saying anything:
"However, you and I both know the temper of the fifth aunt, that is, she refuses to suffer at all and bow her head, when she wants to go to Lord Lu to propose divorce from his wife, she was ruthlessly regained face, and the more she thought about it after coming back, the more angry she became, she actually blocked Mrs. Lu's way to incense on the street, and she said that she would cry and go back to the house with a mean mouth, and she would never go to incense again."
After hearing this, Xi Yunzhi smiled slightly, responded twice, and said not too concerned: "Heh, it really looks like the temper of the fifth aunt." ”
Saying this, Xi Yunzhi was smiling in her heart, she had seen Master Lu and knew that he was a smiling tiger with a lot of skill, since Mrs. Lu had been sitting in the main room for so many years, she had never relied on her mediocre color and her husband's loyal love, Shang Su'e thought that Mrs. Lu was easy to bully, and if she was so light on the enemy, she would inevitably be defeated and her bones would be gone.
***
September is approaching, Bujia has been surrounded by Huang Cancan, outside the courtyard wall, stretching nearly a thousand hectares of rice seems to have reached the maturity stage.
The two old men, Fu Bo and Yan Bo, came to report to her with their faces tanned by the sun, Xi Yunzhi happily went to see them, and sure enough, the head of each rice plant had drooped slightly, which showed how full the rice grains wrapped in it were.
"It will be harvested in a few days, and it will be a good harvest by then."
Fauber has planted the land all his life, but he has never planted so much at once, so big, looking forward to the day of the harvest early and late, and now he has finally waited for him, and there is no lack of excitement in his words.
Xi Yunzhi looked at the endless rice fields, and her heart was also very steady, because she didn't know much about the work in the fields, and she was worried all day long, what to do if there was a natural disaster, what to do if there was no food, but now there is also an unconcealable excitement in it.
It is also difficult to harvest so much rice, and this time she can't find the soldiers in Fujun's camp to help, even if they come, there are only eighty people, which is definitely not enough, fortunately, she has already agreed with the runners in the market earlier, and now she should be able to get together a hundred or ten people, and then plus the villagers in Fubo Village, it is estimated that there are also seventy or eighty people, such a large field, it is estimated that it will be busy for several days with two hundred people alone, in case it rains at the time of harvesting, then it will have to wait a few days, so, The faster the harvest, the better.
Xi Yunzhi went to the store and asked the guys to go back and talk to see if there were any willing to come over to help, she hired sincerely, and then went to the north and south shops to register on behalf of the shopkeeper, and finally arranged it in a unified manner.
Xi Yunzhi made a rough calculation, such a big project, if it is to be completed within a day or two, at least about 500 people, even if the number of people registered with the shopkeeper is more than 500, then it is necessary to remove those who cannot work temporarily, at least 50 to 100 more people, mobile, she is worried, but Xi Yunchun brought her an unexpected news.
said that after she went back to tell Lord Yang about Xi Yunzhi's situation, Lord Yang actually decided to let the people from the Yamen come over to help, Xi Yunzhi didn't want to accept this kindness, but Xi Yunchun said that Lord Yang had already arranged it, just waiting for her to give an order.
was so enthusiastic that Xi Yunzhi couldn't retreat.
After going back in the evening and talking to my husband, my husband was only silent for a while, and then replied indifferently: "Since he wants to help, I really can't muster so many people there, so let him help." ”
Xi Yunzhi was still apprehensive in her heart, she always felt that Xi Yunchun and Lord Yang did this because of her husband, if they had any other intentions, she was not afraid, she was afraid that they would end up trying to put their intentions on her husband, then wouldn't she just cause trouble for her husband?
But the harvest matter is imminent, and she has gathered more than 200 people horizontally and vertically, including the eighty people in her husband's camp, and it will definitely not be smooth if she doesn't let them help with this matter, but she really doesn't want to cause trouble to her husband in the future, so she has been suppressing this matter and has not answered Xi Yunchun directly.
On the sixth day of the ninth month, the day after tomorrow is the harvest date agreed with Fu Bo, Xi Yunzhi has more than 300 people on hand, Xi Yunchun came to the shop early that day, today she brought a set of dresses over, and wanted Xi Yunzhi's embroidery workshop to embroider some patterns on her head, after coming over, she opened her mouth and asked Xi Yunzhi how the people were looking for it.
Xi Yunzhi was about to open his mouth to reply to her, but saw a person walking in at the door, looking dressed like a master, Xi Yunchun saw that person, he actually stood up from the chair, blessed the person, and saluted dignifiedly:
"It turned out to be Master Ma."
This turned out to be Ma Tao, the master of the Zhizhou Yamen, he was Lu Xiu's confidant, and he had always only done things for Lord Lu, but now he came in person, but he didn't know what was going on.
Seeing that it was Mrs. Tongju who was talking to him, Master Ma also hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, and asked rarely:
"Why is Madame Yang here?"
Xi Yunchun smiled shyly, lowered his head and pointed at Xi Yunzhi and said, "This is the shop opened by my mother's sister, what's so strange about me here?" ”
Master Ma immediately woke up: "Oh, yes, yes, look at my brain." “
As he spoke, he turned his head to Xi Yunzhi behind the counter, and said to her with a respectful and reasonable fist:
"I haven't seen Mrs. Bu yet."
Xi Yunzhi greeted the guest with a smile: "Master Ma has too many courtesies, and he has tormented the woman, I don't know what happened to Master Ma entering the store?" ”
Master Ma smiled and said to Xi Yunzhi: "Oh, it was our master who specially asked me to come and tell Mrs. that the Zhizhou Yamen has prepared five hundred people for Mrs. to send the day after tomorrow." ”
“……”
After hearing this, Xi Yunzhi was stunned on the spot.
Before this, Mrs. Tongju came diligently, and then a henchman stepped on it with blood, but her few acres of land made everyone care? I'm afraid there will be a future in the future, but now it's just a favor for her.
Xi Yunchun listened to Master Ma's words, and immediately stood up and said: "Master, you are late, my father-in-law said that my sister's business is my business, how can there be a reason for someone from my own family to contribute and ask others to help?" ”
Master Ma was used to seeing the scene, where was Xi Yunchun his opponent, and immediately smiled and said: "Miss's words are wrong, now Mrs. Bu is also our own family member of the Zhizhou Mansion, have you forgotten?" ”
“……”
How could Xi Yunchun forget, just last month, she went to attend that farcical wedding, that is to say, Lord Lu of Zhizhou Mansion is also Xi Yunzhi's brother-in-law now, no matter what, and her husband is also a brother-in-law.
Then he lost his voice, turned his inquiring gaze to Xi Yunzhi, and asked:
"Sister, there are people in the Hengzhi Prefecture Mansion and the Tongju Mansion to help, now it only depends on how my sister chooses?"
“……”
Xi Yunzhi looked at them and felt funny, it was just a matter of help, they could even solve such a problem.
After thinking about it, Xi Yunzhi no longer hesitated, smiled at Master Ma and saluted:
"In this way, it will be troublesome Lord Lu."
Sometimes accepting help from others is also a way to confuse the enemy, at least let the enemy know that you are not guarding against him.
After Master Ma left, Xi Yunchun's face was obviously unhappy, but he didn't get angry on the spot like before, but said in a cold voice:
"My sister is so biased, I came to tell you about it a few days ago, but people just said it once, you actually left me and chose someone else."
When Xi Yunzhi saw her like this, he put down the abacus in his hand and said to her:
"Sister, when you first entered the Tongju Mansion, you asked Lord Yang to help me, if my sister accepted, I was afraid that it would damage your status in the family in the future, after all, no one likes a housewife who brings trouble home, do you say?"
How could Xi Yunzhi not understand that Xi Yunchun's dedication in the past few days must have been personally instructed by Lord Yang, but she didn't say anything, but instead pushed everything onto the ethereal sisterhood, which made Xi Yunchun neither agree nor blame.
After being tired of being in Xi Yunzhi's shop for a while, Xi Yunchun said goodbye, Xi Yunzhi personally sent her out of the store, said some of her sister's intentions, she understood, and appeased her with grateful words in her heart, and saw her get into the sedan chair before returning to the store.
