Mrs. Ding does not have any money, this time the old lady's two thousand taels were found out, and it was also found out that she was lending usury outside, Mrs. Ding was greedy, her money was put out by usury, not only her own private money was used to lend, but also the money on the public account was misappropriated to lend, this time, her money was confiscated outside, and it is still unknown whether she can recover it if this happens!

In the past few days, the daily use of the family can not be taken out, as the saying goes, don't talk about money feelings, talk about money and tear your face, Mrs. Ding used to be so close to the old lady, the old lady treated Mrs. Ding as if she was her daughter, and now Mrs. Ding takes the money on the public account and puts it at usury, where does the money go!? It's not for Mrs. Ding to swallow it privately, the old lady quit, and sneered at Mrs. Ding all day long, only saying how much money she hid.

The night coincided with rain, Ning Chengsi forced her to hand over the official power to the old lady and Liu Er, Liu Er wilted, with her back to the old lady, so that she could say good things but only looked like she was doing business, and said that she had no money to live.

This Liu Er was married into the door by herself, at the beginning, she originally planned to let Liu Er be Ning Cheng's arm, this time Mrs. Ding was disgusted by the old lady, and was disgusted by Ning Chenghei, Liu Er jumped up, I don't like to listen to Mrs. Ding's instructions very much, and Liu Er is good at saying good things, Mrs. Ding can't catch the handle, this daughter-in-law is Zhang Luo into the door by herself, and she can only swallow it in her stomach if she breaks her teeth and blood.

She and Liu Er have not yet reached the point of tearing their faces, this time, it is not good to get along with the official Liu Er, there is no way to move money elsewhere for emergency, it is easy to fill in the money for daily use, Ning Gang came to ask for money again, it is not a small amount, Mrs. Ding was reluctant to ask for money from her son, so she had to open her jewelry clip, took two gold collars and a hosta and a table from the clip to Ning Dispatch, Ning Dispatch got a bag of jewelry for the small one to exchange for silver, and still went out to fool around.

Mrs. Ding sat on the bed and regretted giving Ning the money, so she only sulked.

Yuehua also euphemistically heard about the situation of the Ning family, her heart was towards Mrs. Ning, this time she only felt funny, the Ning family had a good time, Yuehua's life was very calm and beautiful, the weather was cold, there was nothing to do at home, and the family changed their ways to get food.

The weather turned cold, and the new cotton was harvested, Yuehua took the cotton and sewed a new cotton coat for everyone in the family, which was warm and warm, and everyone was smiling and grinning.

It is said that the south is warm, and when you come to the south, you know that the south is cold, Yuehua nests in the house every day and freezes too much, and there is a kang in the house in the north, and the windows are two-tiered, the doors and windows are closed, the kang is burning, and the house is warm. There is an earth dragon in the palace, and as soon as the earth dragon burns up, the entire hall is warm.

However, there is no burning kang in the south, the windows are papier-mâché or screens, and the inside of the house is as cold as the outside, and because of the humidity in the south, there is no sun in the house and it is even colder than outside. The bed was a hardwood plank bed, covered with hay and a quilt, and lay on it so that it would not heat up, and the feet were cold all night.

During the day, it was a little better, the house burned a carbon basin, set up a kang table, surrounded the table quilt, sat in front of the table with the quilt, the quilt was covered on the legs, the feet were on the edge of the carbon basin to bake, only the hands were exposed to do needlework, and the hands were so cold that they couldn't stand it, so they retracted their hands under the table to roast the fire, but they didn't feel cold.

Because he didn't come back for a few days to handle Ning Chenghe's case, Yuehua and her master and servant were also simple, not very particular on weekdays, the four of them ate around the table, the soup was a sticky pork taro soup, put a handful of ginger slices, served it hot, drank a bowl, the stomach was warm, Yuehua didn't want to eat, a few bowls of soup were full, put down the rice bowl and grab a piece of preserved fish to eat.

This preserved fish is brought by the chestnut father, smoked and dried and two or three feet long, the preserved fish made of grass carp, there are no spines, the meat on the back is very thick, chopped into a small piece of a small piece, fried in vegetable oil, very fragrant and not salty, the outside is charred and the inside is tender, and the white mouth is just right to eat as a snack.

"Ma'am, let's make some sausages too!" Chestnuts are the best to eat, and he proposed: "At this time, I made sausages, smoked them, and I just fried them for the New Year." ”

Yuehua was also delicious when she was taken by chestnuts: "It's a pity that no one will do it." ”

"I'm making all my sausages, it's nothing, I'll just buy ten catties of pork and casings."

Yuehua had eaten the sausages brought by chestnuts from home, which were particularly delicious, and when she heard that she could do it, she immediately took money to make her go out to sell pork.

In the afternoon, three women gathered around the kitchen to make sausages.

The meat of the sausage should be fat and lean and moderately pork hind leg meat, fat and thin about three to seven, chopped, but not too chopped, the soybean-sized piece of meat becomes, first marinated with Fenjiu and white sugar for a while, and then with Fenjiu, salt, nitrate, light soy sauce in the marinade for four hours, the fat and lean meat are marinated, the meat is poured into the casing bought, no need to fill, the nine achievements are almost, the front and back are tied on the hemp rope, the knot is just that, each section is a foot long, about thirty knots, dried on the bamboo pole that is wiped clean in the hall, and the chestnuts bring three pots of willow charcoal, Roasting in the ground, this is not the end, Yuehua only saw the chestnut get a bamboo chopstick, sharpen it with a firewood knife and poke a hole in the sausage, breathable.

Yuehua saw that there was still a lot of meat in the basin, this meat was marinated, it was very chopped, and it couldn't be fried, so it was a pity, so she simply used it to make pancakes, and the four masters and servants ate marinated meat pancakes at night, don't say! The meat is not as tender as the filling in ordinary pancakes, and if you bite into it without paying attention, the meat will fall out of the cake.

However, the meat is marinated and tastes good, and it tastes different from the tender filling. Needless to say, I ate seven or eight chestnuts, even the Li family, who has always been Sven, ate four, Yuehua ate three, and ate so much that my stomach was not slippery, as long as I drank tea.

After eating, it was not dark yet, Yuehua and the three women were doing needlework, Li Ping was weaving straw shoes on the side, and when it was dark, they turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Ning sent to find Yan Hong even after getting the money, Ning sent himself to feel that he was a little cheap, he spent enough money on Yan Hong to wrap a few kiln sisters outside, the kiln sister got his money, and the service was like treating him as an emperor, this Yan Hong was so spicy, on weekdays, she asked for fat chickens and geese, and she wanted gold bracelets and hostas, and if she was not satisfied, she would drive people away, and she would not give Ning Yan face at all, but Ning Fei loved to go to Yan Hong, and even Sister Yao went less.

Ning Yan gave Yan Hong the hairpin he got from Mrs. Ding, Yan Hong glanced at it, saw that the color of the hairpin was good, and the workmanship was fine, so she pulled a smile and grabbed it in her hand: "This time, I think it's okay, just reluctantly let you live here for a few days, if you want to make me unhappy, I will still kick you out tomorrow." ”

Ning sent the obedient person who was packed up by Yan Hong, and only coaxed her with good words: "I **** for you, you don't give me a smile." ”

Yan Hong smiled when she heard this, and took a sip: "See!?" The smiley face is given to you. After speaking, he pouted again: "If you don't see me, you won't give it, if you want me to laugh again, you have to make me happy." ”

"Does this count!?"

The two closed the door during the day and began to mess around again.

When He Heng was at home, the two husbands and wives lived happily together, and He Heng was not at home Yuehua also had a way to live a comfortable life, but He Heng was often not at home, and when they were together, they were happy and accommodating each other, not quarreling or quarrelling, but they lived better than ordinary couples.

In the final analysis, Yuehua has the same life as He Heng, He Heng is also very pragmatic, he works in the yamen on weekdays, he doesn't fool around outside, and he doesn't make three moves outside, he will come back when he has time, the two couples don't have to **** stick together to fight with their tongues and teeth, and they don't have to be suspicious to go when they have something to say together.

The south side can pickle salted duck eggs all year round, you can eat salted eggs all year round, Yuehua listened to the chestnut talk, the fishermen who live by the river and rely on fishing for a living, the fishing boat is on the water for half a month, the mother-in-law at the head of the family only prepares a bag of rice, a pocket of salted duck eggs, a jar of pickles, the fisherman is hungry and cooks on the boat to make a fire, cook a pot of rice and then cook a pot of fish soup, half a salted duck egg, a chopsticks pickles to eat like this.

Chestnut taught Yuehua to pickle salted duck eggs at home, this frame was just pickled, smashed the yellow sand on the top, cooked, and ate white porridge for breakfast.

Everyone has eaten pickled salted duck eggs, but the duck eggs of chestnuts are really well done, and when you open the shell, you can poke out the oil with chopsticks, and it is really the best duck egg I have ever eaten.

The worse Ning Chengsi's case became, the more extensive the implication became, and at the beginning it was only found out that it was related to the Ministry of War, but after checking and checking, it actually found out that it was on the head of the Ministry of Households.

Yuehua's life is comfortable, He Heng is not so easy, Ning Chenghe's matter seems to be not big, but after checking it, I realized that it was too deeply involved, and almost half of the country was involved.

The military department demolished the east wall and made up the west wall, because the household department was not timely, and it was not counted if it was brought into the military department, and it was also involved in the household department at the end, which was not easy to do.

Why is the household department not spending in a timely manner?!

Where does the money go?

The money was disbursed by Guo Huai'an in the northwest.

Who is Guo Huai'an!? The hero of the emperor's yellow robe was in charge of the 800,000 soldiers and horses of the Wei State in his hands! What does Guo Huaian want money for!? Expand the Northwest Army, what are you doing to expand the Northwest Army! Gui Huai'an is the emperor's minister, so he can only ask the emperor.

He Heng now finally understands why Ning Chengsi is so fearless, because he knows that this case can't find a result, He Heng can only admire Ning Chengsi's cleverness, and at this time, the military department is involved, and Guo Huai'an is indirectly involved, and General Dingguo is not good to continue to investigate, this case can only end here.

This case, in the final analysis, is that the court is in deficit, there is no money, so it can only focus on the top priority of the northwest first, and other places have to be slowed down, and the emperor does not want to make a fuss about the deficit, so he can only move the people from the east to fill the hole in the west, and move the silver from the south to make up for the west.

But this case is getting bigger, and it has to be closed in the end, and how to close the case has become a problem.

He Heng is also having a headache these days.

If the case is hastily concluded for the general, it will be fatal, and he will finally gradually control the situation in the southwest, and compromising at this time is tantamount to saying that all the previous achievements have been wasted.

It is also difficult for the general of Dingguo to handle, but this case must be handled, so he has to find a substitute for the dead ghost.

It's a question of who is the right fit.

Ning Chengsi can't do it, he did a substitute for the dead ghost, the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, and publicized the lack of the imperial court.

So you have to look for someone else, who to look for?

Before Ning Chengsi's case was closed, He Heng only came back once, and when he came back, he only told Yuehua to hide in the mountains.

Although He Heng and the others took Sizhou this time, Sizhou was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Dali Guo couldn't snatch Sizhou over at this time, so they had to find a place elsewhere.

These days, there have been large and small riots in the pipeline, and in the case of taking down the surrounding areas, He Heng has made a great contribution, he is afraid that the people of Dali will retaliate, and he will not be able to spare time at this time, so he has to let Yuehua live in the mountains to protect her safety.

Second, He Heng was also afraid of Ning Chengsi's retaliation, and pinched Yuehua as a weakness, so it was better to leave at this time.

The wife of the border soldier had to make some sacrifices more or less, and Yuehua knew in her heart that she had packed her things happily, and where to go became a problem.

The two have no relatives at the border, at this time they had to go to the temple on the mountain to live for a while to avoid the limelight, Yuehua went to the Guanyin Temple to burn incense, but she was not used to living in the temple, and she was uncomfortable after living for one night, and finally left Li Ping and his wife to look after the house, and he took the chestnuts to the chestnut house to live.

After a few months, Yuehua saw the chestnut lady who had not seen her for many days, but she was very good, let go of the house she lived in, and huddled with the children by herself.

Chestnuts went back to their home, and they didn't seem to have some food and play in Yuehua, so they got up early every morning to do work.

The farmers facing the loess with their backs to the sky all get up early in the morning, the weather is getting colder and colder, in order to fear that the farmer in the field will freeze, they have to get up to boil warm water before dawn in the morning, and pick warm water to water the field. (There is no vegetable greenhouse in Guda, this is what I heard my grandmother say when I was a child) Wait until the coldest period before dawn passes, the sun comes out, and the vegetables are not afraid of freezing.

But before dawn, the dishes feel cold, and people also feel cold, and it is difficult to go out to water so early in the morning, and it is not easy for farmers to get this little food, and Yuehua is also distressed for chestnuts.

Chestnuts picked up a few loads of water to water the ground, and came back with a hug of cabbage, the dew was heavy in the morning, and the body was wet, the countrymen were used to it, and they didn't pay attention to it, and the vegetables were thrown on the ground and went out to work, in the end, Yuehua couldn't see it: "You are wet, go in and change your clothes, be careful of rheumatism and bone pain when you are old." ”

"Get used to it, it's out of the way."

"Let's change it! I'll find your clothes for you, and you'll put them on, and I'll sit upright and dry them. ”

Chestnut couldn't push it, so she gave her clothes to Yuehua, and Yuehua sat in front of the fire to help her bake her clothes.

Chestnut Niang came in and saw Yuehua baking clothes for chestnuts, before Chestnut was going to make a girl for Yuehua, she was not happy, although there were several children in the family, life was not very good, her own children knew that it hurt, the child went out to be a girl for others, and she was also sad to be angry.

Yuehua lives in her own home, and only eats with the chestnut family every day, not picking or choosing, and there is no frame at all when she talks and does things. quietly stuffed the money to chestnuts at every turn, and the sum of the several times before and after was almost equal to their half a month's household expenses, and they didn't take advantage of it at all, causing trouble with others.

Looking at people from small things, although it is a trivial matter to help bake clothes, it is rare to know in my heart that I feel distressed.

Chestnut Niang likes Yuehua more and more, and is more grateful to her, but she only works hard in return. (To be continued.) )
