On the eighth day of the ninth month, it is advisable to marry and break ground.

Xi Yunzhi's harvesting team is unprecedentedly strong, more than 800 people bent down in the field to harvest rice for her, even the husband himself went down to the field, Yin Shi began, Fu Bo and Yan Bo ran in the field to command, fixed ten people to cut rice, twenty people moved, each group of thirty people divided into twenty-five groups, one mu cut followed by the next acre, Fu Bo village laborers also all went to the field, last time they came to help reclamation, Xi Yunzhi finally gave them according to the market price, this time Fu Bo went back and shouted a voice, last time did not come to help, It's all here this time.

The women of the village brought their pots and pans to the courtyard of the Bu family, set up a fire, set up pots, and helped cook some food, and the men in the field would come to eat some food and drink some water when they were resting.

Those officials of the Zhizhou Mansion were the most attentive, and at night they slept directly in the open air in the fields with their clothes, and the next day before midnight, they began to threshk wheat again.

The shopkeeper of the Locke family's rice grain shop also took people to take a look on the second day of the harvest, and saw that the yard of the Bu family was full of bags of grain, so he was surprised by the speed of their harvesting and wheat, Xi Yunzhi borrowed the grain drying field of the Locke grain shop from him on the condition of one less money per catty, and the shopkeeper has been doing this for many years, knowing that the harvest of so many places must be very rich, and Xi Yunzhi's conditions can be said to have given them enough face.

The shopkeeper agreed, and after going back, he sent a convoy of grain shops to haul grain, and in this way, a convoy of more than 20 trucks of grain went back and forth more than 20 times before moving thousands of grain bags to the Caobang grain drying field.

After two or three days of exposure, Xi Yunzhi and the Wang family went to the pound settlement, and spent the whole day in the grain shop, and finally, finally calculated clearly in Haishi, the land around the Bujia produced a total of 102,000 catties of grain, at the price of eight coins of silver per catty, sold for 8,160 taels, and also made the Luo family promise that in the future, Xi Yunzhi can use it at will as long as he makes an appointment in advance.

The reason for this is that the shopkeeper informed the upper echelons of the Locke family that Xi Yunzhi was willing to pay less than a penny of silver per catty, and the Locke family has been traveling by water for generations, and they appreciate the pride of businessmen the most, even if they say that they want to make Xi Yunzhi a friend.

Xi Yunzhi thanked the shopkeeper for his kind words, and wrapped another red envelope of three hundred taels for him, and the shopkeeper's attitude towards Xi Yunzhi was even more satisfied.

***

In mid-September, Xi Yunzhi received an unexpected invitation, which was sent by the old lady of the Xi family herself, saying that she had not seen her for many days, and that there would be a dinner party in the mansion two days later, inviting Luoyang talents and boudoir daughters, and asking her to go back to participate together.

Xi Yunzhi looked at the gorgeous invitation card with hot stamping words in her hand, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, so she directly closed the invitation card and handed it back to the Xi family who was waiting for her reply.

Polite reply:

The old lady was kind, Yunzhi understood it, but Yunzhi knew that she was no longer a member of the Xi family, and it was inconvenient to attend the dinner hosted by the Xi family. It's also smiling and generous to go. ”

After hearing this, the little brother who came to deliver the message only hesitated for a short moment, and then turned around and left.

He didn't know the reason, he only knew that the titular eldest lady had been treated coldly in the Xi family since she was a child, and she wanted to come to the old lady to invite her this time, but she didn't want to be left behind by outsiders to treat her children and grandchildren harshly, since Xi Yunzhi was self-aware and didn't want to participate, then he didn't dare to do much and persuade her to go.

After the messenger left, the shopkeeper held back for a long time and finally couldn't help asking:

"Shopkeeper, what you said just now is a bit heavy, although you are married, but the Xi family is also your maiden family, how can you say that you are no longer the Xi family?"

Xi Yunzhi's mind was full of pictures of the old lady marking her out of the family tree, and she just smiled casually at the words of the shopkeeper:

"Haven't you heard a word about the shopkeeper, the daughter who marries out, spills the water?"

After speaking, without waiting for him to speak, Xi Yunzhi walked out of the counter with his head down, and explained to the shopkeeper: "I'll go to the embroidery workshop to have a look." ”

Then he walked out of the north and south shops.

In the backyard of Xi's house, the little brother who passed the message went back to his life, and after telling Mrs. Xi Yunzhi's original words, he was hit by two big ear scrapers from the old lady's personal grandmother on the spot, and the old lady rarely stopped the action of pulling the Buddha beads in her hand.

Mama Guixi pointed to the messenger brother and said angrily: "If she doesn't come, won't you invite again, won't you say something good?" ”

The little brother felt very wronged, covered his face and muttered:

"But, but ......"

Mama Guixi looked at him like he was slapping him twice, but was stopped by the old lady: "Okay, she won't come, what's the use of you beating him, go down." ”

Watching the little brother and mouse flee, Mama Guixi returned to the old lady and said, "Old lady, the eldest lady is so ignorant, this is a heart, right?" ”

Mrs. Xi stood up from the Taishi chair, put the sandalwood incense bead chain into her palm, and after pacing and thinking about it, she smiled schemingly:

"Hmph, I don't care if she has a heart or not, I wanted to ask her to come and talk well, but she didn't come, and I still rushed to beg her with a shy face? Just let her know how good I am, and she'll come to my door and beg me. ”

When Mama Guixi saw that the old lady had an idea, she gloated and echoed:

"The eldest lady has a good road to the sky, and she wants to go to that corner, and she doesn't want to think about what to do with the old lady, who will suffer?"

Mrs. Xi snorted coldly, her eyes as dark as a poisonous snake.

At this moment, I heard a crying voice outside the courtyard, Mrs. Xi frowned, and asked Mama Guixi to see what was going on, but Mama Guixi just walked to the door, and the gate of the old lady's courtyard was pushed open by a woman who couldn't cry.

Looking at it, it turned out to be the Zhou family in the fourth room, regardless of Guixi's obstruction, he rushed in at once, knelt down in front of the old lady's legs, and Mrs. Xi saw that she had no manners, put down the Buddhist beads in her hand, and said impatiently:

"What do you look like? Is there any more demeanor of your wife? ”

Zhou was so anxious now, but he didn't care about any manners or impropriety, so he cried and complained:

"Old lady, I can't live this day. Shang Su'e is a cheap, person, she is trying to force us to a dead end. ”

When the old lady saw her like this, she felt a little bit in her heart, because she had not heard of what had happened these days, but she just turned a blind eye and went to fight with them, but now that the fourth room came to her, she could not ignore it, so she asked:

"What's wrong with her? Get up and talk to the old woman. ”

Zhou's eyes were red from crying, and he knelt on the ground, and told Mrs. Xi about Shang Su'e:

"That poisonous woman, she first knew that Xiu'er was ruined by the old puppet and became pregnant, and then threatened me and Tanlang with this matter, and asked us for 50,000 taels, but after we sold our private property, Shang Su'e took the money and turned around to spread the news, saying that the fetus in Xiu'er's womb was different. is so vicious and rebellious, when the old puppet said that she wanted to take Xiu'er as a concubine, she actually went to trouble Mrs. Nalu again, saying that she wanted her to abdicate and make way for Xian and let Xiu'er be the main room. Old lady, poor my Xiu'er is now being rectified by Mrs. Nalu in the Zhizhou Mansion, and her life is better than death. ”

Mrs. Xi listened to Zhou's words with an indifferent expression, and after thinking about it, she said:

"Su'e's temperament is indeed stronger, she also wants to fight for the Xi family to show some face, Heng Zhu Yunxiu has already become the concubine of the master of Zhizhou, that is her life, no wonder others."

Zhou listened to Mrs. Xi's words as if she was biased in favor of Shang Su'e, staring at Mrs. Xi with red eyes, reversing her previous crying, and asked coldly:

"What does the old lady mean, do you want my Xiu'er to accept her fate? After she was humiliated like that, she submitted to the old husband as a concubine, and now she is still bullied by the main room, old lady, do you tell her that she can't afford to be a person for the rest of her life, and she will live in dire straits all her life? ”

Mrs. Xi stood up from the Taishi's chair, lowered her gaze, sighed as if she was kind-hearted, helped Zhou up, and said:

"What the old woman means is that since some things have become facts, let Xiu'er relieve her heart and accept it. Mrs. Nalu is already old and decrepit, I believe that with our Xiu'er's beauty and talent, it will not be difficult to compare with that vulgar lady, women, anyway, they were born to serve men, so who is not serving? Don't cry, Su'e will talk about her, Xiu'er, you also have to talk about it, tell her to simply follow Master Lu, a beautiful woman who has softened her body, which man doesn't like it? ”

“……”

Seeing that Zhou didn't speak, Mrs. Xi continued to say kindly:

"Think about it yourself, if Xiu'er can successfully capture Lord Lu's heart, then our Xi family doesn't want any face at that time, and Lord Lu will give us any face?"

Zhou stared at this old lady with a face like a Buddha and a demon, and suddenly felt that she was extremely stupid, how could she forget how ruthless this old woman was in the past, in her eyes only the face of the Xi family, only herself, just like the big house in the past...... was unexplained by an unchaste hat, and finally trapped in the yard and beaten to death......

Zhou didn't speak again, but walked to the old lady's courtyard in despair, with a decadent appearance, as if he was ten years old, haggard.

After Zhou left, Mama Guixi waited for Mrs. Xi to knock on the wooden fish and chant the scriptures, and asked puzzledly:

"Old lady, has the fifth grandmother gone too far? Would you like to go for a bang? ”

Mrs. Xi half-narrowed her gaze: "Knock on what?" The four houses have no property, and now they are almost sold, and the only daughter has become a concubine for others, I am now going to beat Shang Su'e and stand up for them, is it too stupid? ”

Mama Guixi understood a little, straightened out Mrs. Xi's hem, helped her kneel in front of the Buddhist shrine, and listened to her say:

"Let them do it."

“……”

***

Xi Yunzhi came out of the embroidery workshop, and when he saw that it was still early, he went to Deyue Tower to call Zhang Yan, and went to the Central Avenue together.

Zhang Yan was giving a lecture to the cooks in the back kitchen, and called Xi Yunzhi out, before the precept was finished, don't feel really uncomfortable in your stomach, so she complained to Xi Yunzhi all the way:

"You said that those people don't do anything just with money, and a few cooks even dare to join forces to slap my face, and the guests order more dishes, and they are tired and tired."

Xi Yunzhi didn't speak, just put his hands into his sleeves, and couldn't help but look at the shops on both sides of Central Avenue.

"Eh, did you listen to me? I've been complaining for a long time, but you're making a noise? ”

Zhang Yan said a lot, and finally found that he was the only one who was cheering, Xi Yunzhi had an indifferent look that he hadn't heard at all, and he couldn't help but be anxious.

"I hear you. You go back and set a rank for them, according to the contribution to the store, make a detailed record, pay according to the record, list the three or nine, etc., and after a month they will know who the boss is. Xi Yunzhi walked to an old locust tree and stood still, looked at the Deyun Inn diagonally opposite, and said to Zhang Yan with a normal expression.

“……”

Zhang Yan put Xi Yunzhi's words in his mind and thought about it, and suddenly felt that this woman was too terrible, and easily solved the problem that had plagued him for a long time with one sentence, seeing that her eyes had been staring at the high-rise Luoyang No. 1 Inn diagonally opposite, he couldn't help asking:

"What are you staring at there? You won't be in the idea of playing Deyun Inn, right? ”

This woman also dared to think too much, Deyun Inn is a decades-old brand, but it is not a mutton restaurant in Lao Liu's dark alley, and it can't be settled with thousands of hundreds of taels of silver.

Seeing him in shock, Xi Yunzhi couldn't help but laugh:

"Hit, so what?"

Zhang Yan looked like 'you are doing death', gasped, and said:

"Then you will die of this heart before it is too late. Didn't you see that this store didn't even collapse when the old man Zhizhou came forward in person? Why are you fighting with others? ”

Zhang Yan was talking about the fact that Shang Su'e and the Lu family had a falling out before, and was ordered to close the store by Zhizhou, looking at Zhang Yan and smiling, he said incomprehensibly:

"One time, another time." Then he gestured his fingers to Zhang Yan and said firmly: "A month later, you can come back and see, the signboard of Deyun Inn is still there." ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Zhang Yan alone to stay in place and sneer, I have seen a dream, but I have never seen anyone who can make a dream so concrete, and I can't help but jump behind her and shout:

"Okay, I'll bet with you, a month later, if you get it, I'll walk along the outside of the Deyue Building, learn to bark and climb a hundred laps backwards!"

“……”

The people on the street looked at him sideways, and Xi Yunzhi simply didn't want to pay attention to this idiot's behavior, and walked away quickly, so as not to be contaminated with his stupidity.

According to her analysis, the battle between Shang Su'e and Mrs. Lu is about to begin, because a few days ago, she asked Zhao Yi to visit Lu's house, saying that Xi Yunxiu has been unusually in the past few days, but she is willing to get close to Lu Xiu, and Mrs. Lu's previous treatment of her has gradually improved.

Thinking about it, Xi Yunxiu must have been persuaded by the Zhou family and decided to put everything aside and re-lean on a big tree that would not fall, to deal with Shang Su'e's pressing step by step.

The war between the three of them can be said to be imminent. All she had to do was wait.
