Chapter 179: Let Me Think
After Li Xiaonuan and his family returned to the village, they learned that on the afternoon of the day their family was taken away, Chi Yao officially moved into Xinzhou Village. Moreover, Chi Yao was still excited to go to the Li family to find Li Xiaonuan.
Fortunately, Granny Yu has been helping to take care of the Li family, and Chi Yao didn't pounce. Chi Yao's arrival somewhat diverted some of the villagers' attention. Therefore, the rumors of privately growing chili peppers did not spread in time.
What's more, Chi Yao came back with the people who welcomed guests to the restaurant that afternoon, as well as the master of the Zhao family, Lao Daoren. The old man didn't say a word, and the people who took the restaurant went to the houses of those who grew chili peppers to ask for chili peppers.
Originally, those people were still worried because Li Xiaonuan and his family were taken away. Now someone personally comes to the door to ask for goods, but isn't it just in the middle of it. At that moment, everyone put aside the affairs of the Li family for the time being, and hurried to pick chili peppers.
Chi Yao used the excuse of seeing the rarity, and also went to the field with Granny Yu. When passing in front of Zhao's house, from a distance, Chi Yao saw Zhao Lichuan waiting at the door. Her expression must have been wonderful, or at least dumbfounded.
Granny Yu saw Chi Yao looking at the gate of the Zhao family, and she didn't even blink her eyes when she opened her mouth. thought she was fascinated by Zhao Wangchuan. Thinking of what happened to Chi Yao, Granny Yu couldn't bear to be wronged by this ill-fated girl again.
"Miss Chi, let's hurry up, otherwise it will be dark. The son of the Zhao family is very good, his family background is very good, and he is also very innocent. Granny Yu tactfully tactfully tapped from the side.
Chi Yao still didn't withdraw his gaze from Zhao Wangchuan, who was talking and laughing with the old way. The maid beside her couldn't bear to look at Granny Yu's eyes that hated iron but not steel, so she pulled Chi Yao's sleeve.
"Huh? What's wrong? Chi Yao was pulled back to his senses and asked the little maid suspiciously.
The little maid glanced at Granny Yu in a sneering manner, and lowered her head and returned: "Miss, if you don't go to the field again, you will delay this mother-in-law's work." ”
Chi Yao then remembered the purpose of her trip, so she hurried to keep up with Granny Yu, who had already taken steps.
"Mother-in-law, have you always been so hard and busy? Wouldn't it be dangerous to work in the fields at such a late hour? Chi Yao asked curiously.
Granny Yu patiently explained: "The big guy has been like this for generations, there is nothing hard or hard, it is all to make a living." Now that the sun is still big, where is the danger? Besides, the village is very popular, and those wild animals dare not come to the village. ”
Chi Yao nodded ignorantly. Several people walked smoothly in front of the Zhao family. When he was wrong, Chi Yao couldn't help but look back at Zhao Wangchuan again. Sensing Chi Yao's gaze, Zhao Wangchuan also raised his eyes, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
"Master, what do you say the Li family should do? I wanted to meet Uncle Huang to ask for a solution, but he left the city and went to the barracks. You also know that I am being watched by General Qian, and I really can't move around at will. Zhao Wangchuan was helpless.
Lao Dao was the first to walk into the door, and said as he walked: "Your imperial uncle has been calculated, and now he is too busy to take care of himself." I'm afraid you won't be able to get any good idea when you see him. If you want me to say, you better think of a way to solve the matter of the chili pepper first, otherwise when Li Yatou comes back, it will be enough for her to eat a big pot. ”
"Chili?" Zhao Wangchuan was puzzled, "What happened to the chili pepper?" Could it be that chili peppers are poisonous? ”
"Definitely." Lao Dao shook his head. "There is a law in the imperial court, and all new crops must be presented to the imperial court first. After being verified by the imperial court as harmless, it can be cultivated by the people. Those who cultivate privately without the permission of the imperial court shall be severely punished according to the law. ”
"And what's going on?" Zhao Lichuan felt magical, he had been studying the laws of the Qi and Song dynasties recently, but he hadn't seen it yet.
"It was the decree that your Taizu personally promulgated at the beginning, and he forced the whole country to preach it, and it must be implemented unconditionally. He seems to have said that there are several foreign crops that are spiritual poisons that are harmful to people. In order to avoid those crops from harming the people of Qi and Song, he had to make this decision. "The old way seems to be reminiscing about the past.
"In that Taizu's posthumous manuscript, is there a record dedicated to those poisons?" Zhao Wangchuan asked again, he was afraid that chili pepper was one of the poisons that were written.
Lao Dao thought for a while before he replied: "Yes, they are all clearly recorded." It's just that those drawings are somewhat damaged and can't be seen really. ”
Zhao Lichuan pondered for a moment before sitting down beside Lao Dao. He stared at the ground silently. Lao Dao didn't bother him, and drank tea by himself. In the entire hall, all that was left was the crisp sound of the teacup lid hitting the teacup.
Wei Lu heard that Lao Dao had finally come back safely, so she didn't care about the defense of men and women at the moment, so she took Aunt Lin and came over.
"Old man, you're back safely. Well, that island has really been discovered? Wei Lu saw that Lao Dao was safe and sound, so he asked.
"Yes, it was discovered, and it was taken by someone first. So we really can't move to that island. The old man said regretfully.
To be honest, Lao Dao really likes that little island. Let's not talk about the freshwater fountain on the island that I don't know where it came from, but the pleasant scenery and rich products on the island, Lao Dao is very reluctant.
Moreover, that island is not far from the Qisong mainland, so it is very convenient to go back and forth. When the time comes, it will be easy to bring something back from the island to exchange for some cloth, salt and oil.
Wei showed up undisguised disappointment. She really wanted to avoid everything here, and didn't want to hear anything about the two of them again. Otherwise, she always wants to take Zhao Lichuan back for revenge desperately.
"Can't your men take the island back? Oh no, it's useless to snatch it back. The island had already been discovered by those two, so it was no different from here. The thick disappointment in Wei Lu's words made Zhao Wangchuan very sad.
"Mother, don't worry. I remember we had a lot of islands along the way, and they were all very nice. When I send someone to arrange the arrangements, we can move out." Zhao Lichuan temporarily put down his worries and hurriedly comforted Wei Lu.
"Really?" Wei Lu asked with red eyes, "Otherwise, let's not leave." Forget your son, go back and recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, and by the way, you will avenge the revenge of the year. Wei Lu suddenly spoke.
Zhao Wangchuan felt for a moment that Wei Lu was telling the truth. Until his gaze touched Wei Lu's hands that were so nervous that they clenched into fists.
"Mother, do you really want to go back for revenge? If I really want to, I'll go back. I will trample under the feet all those who have hurt us. Mother, have you thought about it? "Zhao Wangchuan actually doesn't have any hope.
"Rong Niang think about it again. We've been hiding for so many years, and we haven't gotten away. I think it's better to go straight to them. After Wei Lu finished speaking, she took Aunt Lin away again.
After Lao Dao answered Wei Lu's question, he listened to the slightly strange conversation between the mother and son in amazement. If it sounds to people who are completely unaware, Wei Lu's words are simply incompatible. (To be continued.) )
