Chapter 21: Giving Up the Silver
After Xi Yunzhi didn't have to go to the store, he had more time to accompany Bu Tan every day, from fetching water to help him wipe up, change clothes and freshen up, to helping him walk around the yard, everything was properly arranged.
The relationship between the two heated up rapidly, and almost everywhere they went, they could see the picture of their husband and wife together, Lang was in love with each other, inseparable, and the greasy and crooked energy made Zhao Yi and them a little unbearable, and they hid behind their backs and snickered one by one.
Xi Yunzhi was a little embarrassed when they laughed, for fear that others would say that she was not reserved, so sometimes she deliberately took a few steps away from Bu Qin, but soon Bu Qin would follow and hold her, not minding the eyes of others at all.
In the afternoon of this day, Zhao Yi and Han Feng were called to the backyard by the old man Bu, Xi Yunzhi helped Bu Tan wash his hair in the front yard where the sun was shining, she first moistened the water with a comb to clear his hair, Bu Qin leaned back on the chair, squinted his eyes, his whole body relaxed, the husband and wife did not speak for a long time, Xi Yunzhi thought that his husband fell asleep like this, but unexpectedly he suddenly said again:
"I heard that grandpa gave you the mandarin duck?"
Xi Yunzhi listened to him, and the movements in his hands paused, and then nodded and replied, "Well, give it." ”
"When was it given?" Bu Qin still closed his eyes, his tone was flat, and he couldn't hear joy or anger.
Xi Yunzhi was a little nervous, because she wasn't sure what her husband meant by asking, so she replied worriedly: "Let's get married on the third day." ”
Bu Qin was silent for a moment, and then opened his eyes and turned to look at her, his dark jade-like eyes flashed with a burning cold light: "Then why don't you wear it?" Still annoyed with me? ”
Xi Yunzhi breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head gently, his fair skin seemed to shine in the sun, and said:
"I want to wait for my husband to accept me before wearing it, after all, it is a mandarin duck pendant, if I am the only one who wears it, wouldn't it be laughed at?"
Bu Qin looked at her eyes slightly raised, turned her head, and continued to lean back on the chair to close her eyes and recuperate:
"Wear it all tomorrow."
Xi Yunzhi nodded happily: "Yes, husband." ”
The time passed quickly in the afternoon, and Xi Yunzhi found that her husband liked her very much to comb his hair, and the appearance of enjoying it with his eyes closed was like a snow-white Persian cat with noble blood raised by the fourth aunt in the past.
Thinking of this, Xi Yunzhi couldn't help but burst out laughing, and Bu Qin immediately 'Huh? With a sigh, Xi Yunzhi hesitated for a moment, and then decided to boldly tell him what she was thinking at the moment:
"I think my husband is like a cat, noble and lazy."
“……”
Bu Qin opened his eyes and turned his head to look at the woman who was smiling like a flower, and her bright smile was as clear as that...... Forget it, for the sake of her smiling so beautifully, I didn't care about her, I just reached out to go around the back of the chair and pinched twice on the buttocks that he had touched countless times in the quilt, which frightened Xi Yunzhi and screamed, and then he hooked the corners of his lips with satisfaction.
Xi Yunzhi covered her hips, and two smears of glow flew over her face, fortunately no one saw it, otherwise she would really be laughed to death. Seeing the smile on the corner of her husband's lips, Xi Yunzhi of course knew that she was being teased, so she had to symbolically knock him on the shoulder twice, but Bu Tan took the opportunity to grab her wet hand and didn't let go.
The husband and wife were playing silently, but suddenly they heard a cry from outside the courtyard wall:
"Excuse me, is General Buxiao at home?"
Xi Yunzhi and Bu Qin stopped playing and glanced at each other, Xi Yunzhi quickly cleaned up the scene, and responded:
"Who is it?"
The people outside the wall heard that it was a female voice that answered, and they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then they reacted:
"Oh, ma'am, right? I'm Wang Chong of the first battalion guarding the tomb, I have something to do with General Buxiao, can I trouble Mrs. to open a door for me? ”
Xi Yunzhi glanced at Bu Qin, who was already fully dressed, and saw that he nodded, so she wiped her hand on the dry cloth, walked behind the door, and took the latch away.
The person who came was a middle-aged man, with a scruffy beard, crookedly wearing a shirt with the word "soldier" printed on the placket, his hair in a loose bun, his cheeks reddened, his steps frivolous, holding a cigarette stick in his hand, decorated with two dice next to the cigarette pouch, opened the door, and came in with a smile.
The backyard also heard the sound of the front yard, Zhao Yi and Han Feng also rushed over, seeing him, the two glanced at each other, consciously blocked between Xi Yunzhi and Wang Chong, and said to Wang Chong in a heavy tone:
"Wang Chong, why don't you stay in the camp well?"
Zhao Yi's words were obviously impatient, but Wang Chong didn't care, stepped forward with a shy face, pinned the cigarette stick to his waist, and made a gesture to everyone present, before targeting Xi Yunzhi.
Xi Yunzhi was furious on his back, and unconsciously hid beside Bu Qin, only to hear Wang Zheng kneel down to her and say:
"Madame, please save us, the brothers have not eaten rice for several days, and they are all hungry."
Zhao Yi and Han Feng listened to Wang Chong's words, took a deep breath, rolled their eyes, obviously didn't believe what he said at all, Zhao Yi pointed at him and scolded:
"What nonsense are you bastard talking in front of Madame? I just gave you more than a dozen bags of rice a few days ago, what do you mean by not eating rice grain, what kind of nonsense? Get out—"
Wang Chong was not angry when he was scolded, but looked at Xi Yunzhi with a smile: "Madam, we followed General Bu to guard the mausoleum, two camps, a total of more than 500 people, all of them are strong men with blood and strength, more than a dozen bags of rice...... There's enough to eat. ”
Xi Yunzhi thought about it for a while, and smiled quietly:
"What do you want to do with Brother Wang?"
Wang Chong heard Xi Yunzhi start talking to him, and he was overjoyed, for fear that she would change her mind, so he hurriedly said: "I heard that Mrs. opened a shop a while ago, and the business was good, and then she changed hands and made a lot of money. ”
Zhao Yi listened to his words and wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Xi Yunzhi reaching out his hand, only to hear Xi Yunzhi say kind words to him:
"That's all hearsay, I did open a shop, but it's only been two months, how can the business be good, it is precisely because the business is not good that I will sell it to others, besides, it is the Xi family who takes over the shop, which is my mother's family, how can I make money?"
Xi Yunzhi's words were leaky and reasonable, even Wang Chong, who had deliberately inquired in advance, believed it a little, and his face was embarrassed, but he heard Xi Yunzhi say again:
"However, the Bu family still has some surplus silver." Xi Yunzhi took out two ingots and five taels of silver horns from his cuffs and put them on Wang Chong's hand, which had already been flattened.
Wang Chong looked at the silver with bright eyes, licked his lips and thanked Xi Yunzhi again and again, and then withdrew from the door.
After he left, Zhao Yi first muttered annoyedly: "Madam, why do you give money to that kind of person, and give ten taels at once." You don't know ...... him."
Before Zhao Yi's words were finished, he listened to Xi Yunzhi take over:
"Good bet, I know."
Zhao Yi glanced at Han Feng in shock, only to hear Han Feng step forward and ask, "Madam, how do you know that guy is a good gambler?" ”
Xi Yunzhi shook his head: "His face is drunk, his eyes are red, his steps are frivolous, obviously he just woke up from a hangover, and there are two dice hanging on the cigarette bag, which shows that he is a good gambler, and the first thing he did when he woke up with a hangover was to come to Bujia to ask for silver, which shows that he lost all his money in the gambling house yesterday, and he still wants to go to get money today." ”
“……”
Xi Yunzhi's analysis is reasonable, people who don't know still think that she knew that person before, otherwise how could anyone guess so accurately just by her behavior and dress?
Zhao Yi was stunned by Xi Yunzhi, and after a while, he wondered and touched his head: "Since Madame knows it, why should she give him silver?" ”
Xi Yunzhi smiled again, did not answer Zhao Yi's question, turned around and looked at Qin Ran with a clear expression, the husband and wife looked at each other and smiled, and went to the study together, leaving Zhao Yi and Han Feng, who were confused, looking at each other.
"Do you think that after Madame came, our IQ ...... Not enough? ”
“……”
In the middle of the night, Xi Yunzhi pressed Bu Qin's legs on the bed, and always felt that her husband had more strength in her legs recently, she was happy in her heart, looked up at Bu Qin, who was reading a book, and said tentatively:
"Husband, there's something I want to discuss with you."
Bu Qin's eyes fell on the page, he didn't look up, just 'um', Xi Yunzhi knew that he was listening, so he stopped his leg crossing, sat up straight and said:
"There are at least a thousand hectares of open space at the foot of Lishan, and it's a pity that it's so empty."
Xi Yunzhi said, and sat there waiting for Bu Qin's answer, but Bu Qin was fascinated by the book, and it took him a long time to react, only to see him put down the book, glanced at Xi Yunzhi, and pointed to his leg with the book, but asked Xi Yunzhi to continue pressing and not stop.
Xi Yunzhi hurriedly continued to press, thinking that her husband didn't want to discuss this topic with her, so she didn't speak again, but unexpectedly, after a while, she heard Bu Qin speak again:
"Why don't you say it? What about thousands of acres of vacant land? ”
Xi Yunzhi looked at him, and then said: "Empty is also empty, if we can reclaim some fertile land, then wouldn't we be self-sufficient, and it is also an income to buy and sell surplus grain." ”
“……”
There was another silence, and it took a long while for Bu Tan to say:
"Well, then you can look at it, find some skilled people in farming, and plan first."
Xi Yunzhi looked at Bu Qin happily: "Husband, have you agreed?" ”
Bu Tan didn't make a sound, but nodded his head behind the book, and Xi Yunzhi happily knocked harder and harder on Bu Tan's legs, pinching and kneading.
After a while, Bu Tan silently closed the book, put it next to the pillow, and then grabbed Xi Yunzhi's hand, and said in a hoarse voice:
"It's late at night, go to sleep."
As he spoke, he pulled Xi Yunzhi to his side, turned over and covered under him, regardless of Xi Yunzhi's reserve, skillfully operated on her, all passes were like walking on the ground, the operation technology was perfect, and the speed of the march had been perfected.
