Chapter 150: Fiefdom
Wu Ping and his family also came by hitchhiking, and seeing that they were about to reach the village, he jumped down first and ran to the village, so that everyone could stand up and greet Princess Xiang.
If you are poor and poor, you should not help him all his life, because he is powerless, and he can't help him if he wants to, but it is better to solve the problem fundamentally.
Mu Xiang understood what he meant, as the saying goes, emergency is not poor.
He An sighed, "Why don't you take help, there are often things, sometimes you don't even collect rent, but so what, more than a hundred Zhuangzi, you can't survive only by receiving money and rent-free." ”
"Why doesn't the government give them help?" Mu Xiang looked at these eager eyes, and her heart became more and more sour.
But now it's winter, where are the wild vegetable roots, and there are dead grass everywhere.
She even saw a few villagers digging wild vegetable roots in the fields.
Mu Xiang felt very uncomfortable in her heart, she went all the way, even if it was Yuhe Village at the beginning, she was not as poor as Wuzhuang.
He An glanced back at her and nodded with a bad face, "Wuzhuang is very poor, even if they go to the capital, many people will only treat them as beggars, so they won't go." ”
At the wedding banquet that day, there were many people in the village, but she didn't know her, who knew which village they were.
Mu Xiang suddenly thought of something, leaned over and asked He An in front of him, "On the day of the wedding banquet, only the people from Pushanzhuang went to Xiangwangfu, and the people from Wuzhuang didn't go, did they?" ”
Not only are the roads bad, the houses are not good, but the clothes worn by the villagers here, even if it is the New Year, the clothes on their bodies are still torn milk.
There is only one mud road with potholes in Zhuangzi, and there are too many potholes in such a road, and when it rains, I am afraid that the mud will be deep, and I will not be able to pull it out if I go down.
There is no big bell in Wuzhuang, but fortunately, the eldest son of the Wu family has a loud voice, and he shouted all the way, and even led everyone in the village out.
Wu Ping's eldest son was wearing broken shoes, and ran all the way back to the village, shouting loudly as he ran: "The princess is here, the princess is here, they are all out, come out quickly!" ”
In winter, the flow of the river is very small, and in the summer, I don't know how much water can reach.
On one side of the village, very close to the village, is a small river.
From a distance, this is a simple rural ink painting, which seems to be very beautiful and has a very meaningful meaning, but only those who live here know that the so-called artistic conception is not worth the food and clothing of three meals a day.
There are about 100 households, and the area of the village is not large, and around the village is a patch of fertile land.
As the old man said before, Wuzhuang is indeed not far from Pushanzhuang, passing through Pushanzhuang, walking along the main road, not far away, you can see the low and dilapidated villages next to each other.
Comber instructed Lin Hou to do some more things, telling him to go to the mansion in a few days, and then set off for Wuzhuang under the reluctant eyes of the villagers.
The grain was burned, and no matter how he was punished, he deserved it. As long as the people in the village can live a good life in the future and no longer starve and freeze, he will die blindly.
With such a guarantee, Wu Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Mu Xiang smiled at him, "The matter of your village, wait until you get over there to solve it, you put your heart in your stomach, Mrs. Ben is not a very unreasonable person, after all, I am also from a poor family, and I will not forget my roots!" ”
In a sense of gratitude, Wu Ping walked over tremblingly, shrunk his waist, and asked her cautiously, "That...... Madam, if the villain can make up for the grain, can our village be like them? ”
The villagers in the courtyard were also overjoyed when they heard this, and they kowtowed to Mu Xiang to thank him.
"This ...... This is great......" Lin Hou was stunned for a moment, and then ecstasy, and he was at a loss, not knowing what to do.
Mu Xiang shook his head very slowly in their expectations, "No, as long as you plant the farmland and plant it with your heart, if you encounter natural disasters and man-made disasters, the government will not blame you, except for rice, wheat, rape, these three kinds of harvest, the government does not want any of you, whoever planted it, who will get it, when you have a harvest, you don't need the government to give you seeds in the second year, as for how to plant, it depends on yourself." ”
That's the core problem, they can grow grains, but if they have to pay rent, then the deal is not cost-effective. The harvest of miscellaneous grains is not as high as that of rice, and they work hard to plant them, and in the end, they may only be able to pay the rent.
Lin Hou and the surrounding villagers couldn't close their mouths when they listened, and in the end, Lin Hou asked the most critical question, "Do you want to pay rent for these extra harvests?" ”
Mu Xiang interrupted their excitement and said: "Taking advantage of the large number of people today, Mrs. Ben will make a few more suggestions, the idle land on the village, in addition to the crops planted in the field, plant corn in front of the house and behind the house, and cotton and soybeans can be planted on the vacant ridges, and these seeds, I will let the subordinates purchase them, and then you can send someone to the house to collect them." ”
This time, not only Lin Hou was excited to listen to it, but even the elders in the village and the mothers-in-law who had come to see the excitement were all enthusiastic. Farmer, who doesn't want to plant a good field!
Comber said to him with a smile: "Madame came to the village this time, in addition to looking at the farmland, the main thing is to observe whether the new farming tools are suitable, in addition, when the spring ploughing, I will have people send a few ploughing oxen over, and you will not delay plowing and sowing because of the lack of ploughing oxen." ”
If they can expand the number of farm tools, they can do their work, which is not only labor-saving, but also energetic!
People who don't farm don't understand that in addition to the ploughing oxen that plough the fields are very valuable, other farm tools are also very important, but because they are too expensive to buy, they have several families on their farms to share one, such as plows and harrows.
"And new farm tools? Madame, this ...... How embarrassing is this," Lin Hou said embarrassed, but he was actually excited.
Mu Xiang saw his sincerity, so he said: "That's good, three days later, you take the young people in the village who are good at doing farm work, go to Xiangwang's Mansion, I asked the craftsmen to make a few new farm tools, you go to see, try it, if there is no problem, do more, and when the spring ploughing, it can come in handy, and save you effort." ”
They wanted to leave, but Lin Hou was very reluctant, "Madame has just arrived, are you leaving?" The crops in the field haven't had time to look at it, how is this good? ”
It is also that they deceive people too much, in the past, others supported them, and the villagers complained a lot of bitterness, but now they have a wife, see how arrogant they dare to be.
"Yes, madam, the old slave will do it," Comber knew that she had a heart, and did not dissuade her. Anyway, their wife's status now is extraordinary, even if she is against the princess, she may not be afraid of her.
Mu Xiang lowered his eyes and said to Kang Bo: "Bring the things, let's go to Wuzhuang to take a look, don't waste the meals prepared here, take them with you, the distance between the left and right is not far, when you get there, just heat up the food again." ”
Kang Bo said sadly: "The princess has the support of the emperor and the prince, how dare we compete with her, so the old slave will reduce the rent of many tenants in Wuzhuang every year, which is also impossible." ”
After listening to their words, Mu Xiang didn't speak for a long time, his face didn't seem to change, but his eyes were much colder.
However, the tenants in the fiefdom of the princess's mansion seemed to have calculated that they would not dare to resist, so they took people to damage the seedlings they had just planted and had already lived.
In the absence of a water source, the people of Wuzhuang had to go farther away to fetch water to alleviate the need for water for farming.
But King Xiang is in the army, and he can't control the affairs of the house. The old man was not in good health and couldn't move, and he didn't dare to worry rashly, so he could only let the people in the village endure it.
For this matter, they once fought with the people of the princess's mansion, and even Comber was invited, but the ninth princess has always been domineering. He is a housekeeper, and he can't even see the princess's face, let alone find the princess's theory.
Originally, the flow of the river was not large, and they cut it off again, and they did not give it to Wuzhuang at all.
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but when it was time to irrigate, the people of the princess's mansion would go upstream, intercept the river water, and bring the water to their fields.
But just three years ago, about fifty acres of land in the upper reaches of the river was given by the emperor to the ninth princess, that is, Princess Tangning.
The days of Wuzhuang were still good in the past. There is a river on the edge of the village, irrigation of farmland, spring planting and autumn harvest are not a problem.
Lin Hou is an authentic farmer, he doesn't know how to beat around the bush, and he procrastinates a lot of things, which means something like this.
Lin Hou sighed before he said: "The villain shouldn't have said this, but if you asked, the villain had to say it." ”
Comber motioned to Lin Hou and said that he lived in Zhuangshang and knew the situation here best.
Mu Xiang looked at the two of them and said in a calm voice, "What is the matter?" Why is there such a big difference in life between the two adjacent villages? ”
Comber sighed for a long time, "Evil, evil! ”
Mu Xiang's gaze withdrew from them, but he saw Lin Hou's sad face.
Only Wu Ping was the calmest, always reminding them to eat slowly, don't fall Wu Zhuang's face.
Wu was embarrassed to do it, but when he smelled the aroma of salted meat and rice, his saliva was about to flow out, and he couldn't bear it.
As soon as they sat down, two boys, one older and one younger, eagerly took the bowl by themselves, and couldn't wait to eat with a spoon, so they directly took chopsticks to the bowl to spread rice.
Caiyun and several people have been paying attention to the conversation here, seeing them coming over, taking out the dishes and chopsticks, two villagers sent a simple steamed rice, with bacon on it, although it is not a good dish, but for the Wu family, it is already a delicacies of the mountains and seas.
His wife and children can be calm, but Wu Ping cannot, this matter is his negligence, it is his fault, no matter what, he can't forgive himself, if he doesn't think about having a pair of sons, he can't wait to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river, it's better than seeing the desperate faces of the people in the village every day.
"Thank you, madam, thank you, madam," Wu pulled the two babies, kowtowed to Mu Xiang again, and thanked him again. Desperate to survive and have food to eat, for them, it is like climbing from hell to heaven.
Comber's face was overjoyed, and he urged: "Madame, thank Madame, there is a meal just delivered over there, hurry up and eat some!" ”
After thinking about it for a while, Mu Xiang felt that this matter should be clarified before he could make a decision, so he said: "You go and eat some food first, don't worry too much about the grain matter, if it is just negligence, the loss of Mrs. Ben will consider it as appropriate." ”
Even the face is yellow and thin, as if malnutrition.
It is said that the life of Pushanzhuang is not bad, just look at the clothes of the people in the village, you can know a thing or two, but the four people from Wuzhuang, not to mention the tattered clothes, the two babies don't even have a pair of shoes.
Mu Xiang didn't speak, she vaguely felt strange.
She cried like crazy, and the two boys also cried, how miserable this scene was, how miserable it was.
Wu Shi was dumbfounded, his voice was like crying blood, and he couldn't wait to roar Wu Ping to death.
"Are you crazy? How can our family have money, there is only one pot, what are you going to sell? Is it not necessary to sell our fathers and widows? You have no conscience, if you dare to touch my baby, I will fight with you! ”
When the yellow-faced woman saw him say this, she grabbed Wu Ping's clothes like crazy, as if she wanted to tear him apart.
After Lin Hou's words were finished, Wu Ping had a bitter look on his face, as if he had made a lot of determination, and his teeth were about to be crushed, "Okay, in order to give an explanation to the Zhuang Shangren, even if I smash the pot and sell iron, I have to make up the money for the grain seeds." ”
But as Comber said, they are all tenants of the king's mansion, and there is no reason why they can't help each other.
When Mu Xiang heard Lin Hou say that he came out halfway, he glanced up at him, and it was not difficult to see how difficult it was for him to make this decision.
Lin Hou stood up at this time and saluted Mu Xiang, "Madam, half of the grain in our village can be divided into Wu Zhuang, and the rest can be given to Wu Zhuang by himself, as a punishment!" ”
…………
"Yes, it's pitiful to look at this family!"
"Yes, now that the burning is burning, we should think about how to remedy it, seeing that spring ploughing is coming, this is the most important thing."
"Madam, the little baby is inevitably naughty, last winter, the straw pile in our village was also set on fire by the monkeys, if it wasn't for the timely rescue, it almost broke into a catastrophe!"
A few elderly grandmothers in the courtyard saw that their family was also strange and pitiful, and they couldn't bear it, so they stepped forward to plead.
Comber's scolding obviously worked, Wu Ping stopped crying, pulled his wife's sleeve, and motioned for her to shut up too.
Seeing that Mu Xiang didn't speak, Kang Bo thought she was angry, so he hurriedly persuaded the family, "You get up first and then say, Madame is kind-hearted and generous, but you, the mistake has been made, and you are still crying here, what kind of system!" ”
The words of the couple were surprisingly consistent, kneeling in front of Mu Xiang together, plus two dirty male babies, how strange this scene looked.
The woman carried the little baby, walked straight to her husband's side, knelt down with a plop, and wailed: "Madame's forgiveness, my child is young and ignorant, and burned the grain of the people in the village, which is a great sin that heaven does not tolerate, and now I have brought two bastards to be disposed of by Madame!" ”
The two of them were brought in by the yellow-faced woman by the ears, and they must have been twisted in pain, and the tears and snot of the two babies were smuggled with tears.
At this time, a yellow-faced woman outside the courtyard led two little babies in, one was about ten years old, a male baby, combing his gourd hair and tying a pigtail, and the other was also a male baby, six or seven years old.
He couldn't go on, he looked very remorseful, and without waiting for Comber to ask, he said: "The little one has tied up the baby, and he wants to kill or chop him, all under the orders of his wife, and the villain has nothing to say!" ”
Comber was shocked and stepped forward to help him, but Wu Ping knelt and refused to get up, crying and saying with a sad face: "The small one can't get up, the small one is guilty, the grain on our village was originally stored in my cellar, yesterday my baby was greedy for fun, and we didn't pay attention to it, and threw the firecrackers into the cellar, and the result was ...... Results ......"
"What are you doing, if you have something to say, hurry up!"
His move stunned the villagers who were originally happy to receive things. But this is Pushan Villa, not Wuzhuang, and they didn't think about it anywhere else.
When Wu Ping heard this, his knees suddenly weakened and he knelt down.
Comber nodded, "It's okay," Speaking of this, he moved his gaze to Wu Ping again, "Is your Wuzhuang's grain good?" ”
Speaking of grain, Lin Hou is okay, tell the truth, the grain on our farm, are stored in my cellar, my cellar is large, the grain is suspended in the air, moisture-proof, and rat-proof, very safe, in two months, the grain can be distributed to the villager. ”
This is because they are tenants of Xiangwangfu, not ordinary retail investors, and they are naturally different.
Comber asked if the grain on the farm was well preserved. In a village, the grain is kept collectively, and in the spring of the following year, it is uniformly distributed to each family.
As for Lin Ping, the look in his eyes was very unusual, and when he spoke, he didn't look at her eyes, and dodged intentionally or unintentionally.
That Lin Hou is as his name suggests, he looks like a honest and honest person, and when he looks at people, he only looks at his eyes, and he knows what kind of person he is, because a person's eyes can't deceive people.
Mu Xiang carefully looked at Wu Ping and Lin Hou.
The two Zhuang heads accompanied Mu Xiang to talk to Kang Bo, and the old man Helian couldn't stay idle, so he took Mu Lang and Da Fei and went out for a walk.
He An, Caiyun, and Zhuzi are responsible for distributing things to the villagers, according to the ration of each household.
The old man lives to be more than 100 years old, which is an honor for the family, so it must be placed in the ancestral hall.
This ancestral hall is very spacious, and the largest room in the middle is a portrait of the ancestors of the Helian family, and there are some tablets of centenarians on both sides of the bottom.
The things that Comber let people bring in were all on the big table in the courtyard of the ancestral hall.
There is a precedent of inviting tenants to eat wedding wine before, and she, the princess of Xiang, can be regarded as winning the love of eighty percent of the villagers.
But she wants to put down the shelf and let go of the identity of Princess Xiang.
This girl is very good at winning people's hearts. If she visits today, she will put on a high-profile posture and is not easy to get close to, which is understandable. After all, no one can force it, Princess Xiang is approachable.
Helian Mingde has been standing far away, touching his beard, watching quietly, with appreciation and approval in his increasingly muddy but shining eyes.
The two Zhuang heads were even more flattered, "Madame is strict, I don't dare to accept it!" ”
The people standing behind were also full of surprise. They only knew that the new princess was very kind, but they never expected that she would be so humble and polite, and she was very gentlemanly!
She gave a gift, but she scared the crowd a lot.
Mu Xiang smiled dignifiedly, "The two of them are exempt, the things on the village, with the management of the two of them, can have today's results, this lady is the people on the village, thank you two!" ”
After he finished his introduction, the two of them bowed to Muxiang together.
After everyone stood up, Comber pointed to the two middle-aged men standing one step behind him, and introduced to Mu Xiang: "Madam, the two of them are the head of the village, this Lin Hou is the head of the village of Pushanzhuang, and he has been in office for five years, and this one is the head of the village of Wuzhuang, called Wu Ping, who has been in office for three years, and most of them have the surname Wu in the village. ”
Comber hurriedly turned around, raised his hand to the kneeling man, and said, "Madame has said it, you should get up quickly!" ”
Mu Xianghe took a step forward, his eyes swept over everyone, "Get up, you're welcome!" ”
Comber stood at the front of the crowd and smiled at Mu Xiang, the meaning of which could not be more obvious.
He An quietly blocked the two of them to ease their tension.
Mu Lang and Caiyun were shocked when they saw this formation. Don't blame them, can you not be afraid when you suddenly see hundreds of people kowtowing to you?
Hundreds of villagers knelt down and kowtowed, and even the ignorant little baby knelt reluctantly under the pull of adults.
"I've seen Princess Xiang! I've seen the old prince! ”
She came down, and Helian Mingde naturally couldn't wait to jump out of the carriage.
Mu Xiang picked up the curtain, and He An helped her get out of the carriage. In fact, there is no need for this, but He An feels that this is a matter of saving face for her.
When they arrived, the two village leaders also came, leading the villagers to wait outside the ancestral hall to greet them.
Not long after Comber and the others entered, Mu Xiang and the carriage of the old man Helian also entered the village.
In such a situation, can the tenants live a better life?
In other ruthless households, they don't care how the people in the village suffer, as long as their money bags don't shrink.
But this kind of smooth weather can happen every year, and in a disaster year, the people in the village will even have a problem with rations, let alone pay rent.
The poor people who depend on the sky and the earth for food only hope that the wind and rain will be good and there will be a good harvest in the year.
When Comber saw the jubilant scene in the village, he only felt very relieved, he and the old village finally lived up to the old lady's entrustment, otherwise with Helian Sheng and the old lady's inquiring character, he might not know what would be the mess!
As soon as the little babies saw this battle, they were inexplicably very excited and ran around in the Zhuangzi.
So, when the bell rang at the entrance of the village, all the people in the village ran out of their homes and ran to the door, and heard that it was the new lady who came. All the young mothers-in-law went home and prepared to go, and the men rushed to the ancestral hall.
Entertaining Princess Xiang and her entourage, naturally you can't be lazy, and if you have good things, you have to serve them. They don't take raw meat and a dish to the ancestral hall to cook, or they each go to their own homes, cook the food, and then bring it to the ancestral hall and put it on the long table, which becomes a hundred family feasts.
Everyone praised one after another, and some people had already gone back to prepare in advance.
"That's right, Madame is really a living bodhisattva!"
"Madame is so polite, come to the village to have a look, we will be happy in our hearts."
When several old people heard that Mrs. had brought a gift, they were all surprised.
Comber thought about it and felt that it was right, so he said: "Pillar, take the carriage, let's go to the ancestral hall together, Madame brought a lot of gifts to the villagers, let everyone come and receive it." ”
The ancestral hall on the two villages of Helian's family is the latter, and once the big bell rings at the entrance of the village, all the villagers will rush to the ancestral hall in a short time.
Some ancestral halls are dedicated to ancestors, and some are places for villagers to hold meetings, which is equivalent to village committees.
The ancestral halls of each village have different roles because of different customs.
"Yes, let the little babies go, the chief manager will go in with us to rest, Madame is coming, we have to be on time, I'll let people hit the bell and gather the villagers to the ancestral hall!"
"yes, how can I let you run errands."
Others followed suit.
The old man who lost his teeth before disagreed, "You come all the way, you don't have to run, I let my two grandchildren go for a run, their little baby has fast legs, and they will come back in a while!" ”
"Yes," Comber thought.
The pillar asked: "Do you want to call the head of Wuzhuang as well, it's not far away, I'll call this one first, and then go to Wuzhuang?" "The adjacent Zhuangzi is not far away, and the back and forth is fast.
In order to facilitate management, the fiefdoms of the Helian family are all concentrated in one place, and outside Pushan Villa, not far from here, there is also a Wuzhuang.
The head of the village in Pushan Village was originally a farmer in the village, and after a few years of private school, Comber felt that he was not a bad person, so he promoted him to be the head of the village.
The role of the head of the village, which is equivalent to the village head, is the main thing in the management of the fiefdom, because it is different from the position of the village head, it is called the head of the village.
Comber smiled kindly, "Princess Xiang is here, she is going to be behind, Mrs. asked me to come over first to take care of one or two, pillars, go and call Zhuangtou, Mrs. is here, how can he not see it." ”
The old man slapped his thigh as he spoke, looking remorseful.
Another hunchbacked old man also said: "On the day of the wedding banquet, the young people all went, but we pity a few old bones, but we didn't see them, and I regret it!" ”
One of them, the old man whose teeth were about to fall out, said: "We are all waiting here, guessing that the new lady, I am afraid that these two days are coming, anyway, we old guys are idle at home, it is better to wait here!" ”
Several old men at the entrance of the village knew Comber, and when they saw him coming, they hurriedly stood up, nodded and bowed to him.
"Why are you all sitting here, it's cold, why don't you go home?" Comber is a kind person, and he also smiles at ordinary villagers, without arrogance and disgust.
Comber's carriage came first, and when he saw that there were many people sitting at the entrance of the village, he asked the pillar to stop the carriage.
During the previous wedding banquet, Mu Xiang said that he would come to the village in two days, so even if there was no advance notice, many people in the village liked to stand at the entrance of the village for the past two days, looking at the road leading to the capital, looking forward to when the new lady would come.
Because the Helian family is different from other rich families, they don't care too much about the harvest of food, only the housekeeper will come here once a year when they plough in spring and autumn, and at other times, they can't even see the figure of the master.
After half an hour's journey, they arrived at Pushan Villa, which was the traditional fief of the Helian family, and the people in the village had cultivated the fields of the Helian family for generations, and some of them had been planted for several generations.
As we all know, the yield of terraced fields is not high, and it is just a cultivation method that the villagers who live in the mountains have to do.
Pushan Villa is located in the south of the capital city, the further south you go, the higher and shorter the terrain is, fortunately, these slopes are not too big, otherwise, Mu Xiang would think that their fertile fields are terraced.
When people are in a hurry, they are easy to be impulsive, and in addition, Tang Hao is a person with a high-end personality, he has never suffered setbacks since he was a child, and when dealing with a person like him, once he breaks through his psychological defense, it is a matter of minutes to break through him.
Tang Hao has recently been forced by Helian Sheng and Mu Xiang, and his prestige in the army has been lost, so it's no wonder that he is not in a hurry.
Mu Xiang raised his eyebrows slightly, and while unpacking the package, he said with a calm expression: "What's so scary about this, as long as we are strong enough, strict enough, and have enough ideas, how can he take our lives so easily, wait and see, I will let him know, what is it called lifting stones and smashing his own feet!" ”
Mu Lang looked at the eldest sister and the second sister, what they said in front of him, he didn't understand it, but he understood the words of the murder later, and repeated Caiyun's words, "It's terrible!" ”
Caiyun blinked, trying to absorb the meaning of the eldest sister's words, and finally spit out, "It's terrible!" ”
Mu Xiang nodded seriously, "Of course, do you think that he can sit on the throne of the crown prince for so long, it will be a false appearance?" You see, if persuasion fails, he will arrest someone, and if he can't catch him, then he can only kill him. ”
"How so?" Caiyun was stunned, and only felt that the people in the capital were so complicated.
"It must be wrong, the prince, although he is not smart, but he is not stupid, if I really go in person, he will definitely make everyone know, Princess Xiang went to the Qinglou, this is not a good word, if it is not good, side, even the emperor's impression of me will be greatly discounted," Mu Xiang analyzed her layer by layer and explained to her. Although Caiyun is a girl, she should also understand the environment she is in, otherwise how should she live in Beijing in the future?
This was not what Mu Xiang told her, but the stone that came back from yesterday was told as a joke when he had breakfast.
"I think it's okay, his real target may not be you, if he really needs you to prove it, he could have arrested someone and made her recognize it, but he didn't, let you go in person, it feels very wrong," Caiyun said with a twisted eyebrow.
Mu Xiang turned to Caiyun again, "What do you say?" When he said this, did he really hate me, warn me, or did he have ulterior motives? ”
Mu Lang thought about it seriously, but with his little head, he couldn't think of another meaning.
Mu Xiang smiled at her appreciatively, and said to Mu Lang in a serious tone: "Little brother, our days in Beijing are not as simple as they seem on the surface, you have to learn to observe, learn to distinguish who says what is true and who says false, let me ask you, what did he mean when the prince stopped our carriage?" ”
Previously, when she saw the strange smile on her eldest sister's face when she was writing on rags, she felt that what the eldest sister wanted must be extraordinary.
"Don't move," Caiyun took the first step, slapped his hand, snatched the cloth bag and handed it to the eldest sister.
"Huh? What is this? Mu Lang found that He Ansai came in, it was a small cloth bag, and crawled over curiously, wanting to open it.
The three carriages ran one in advance, and the two behind set off one after the other.
He An didn't bother to pay attention to him, jumped into the carriage and sat down, quietly stuffed the cloth bag into the carriage, turned his head and glared angrily, "Let's go, what are you still stunned!" ”
When he got closer, Da Fei laughed at him, didn't pull it, don't wait until you go out of the city and pull it again, there will be no toilet, you can only find a remote place, and solve it anywhere.
He An's legs and feet were not slow, and after buying things, he ran quickly out of the city, and he could be seen far away.
After saying that, the old man got into the carriage angrily.
"Hmph, then let's wait, trouble, wait for him to come, see how the old man beats him!"
His old man is also crawling out of the pile of dead people, and he can still see these careful thoughts more or less.
Helian Mingde heard that he had to wait, with his fiery temper, how could he stand it, and was about to scold, when he saw Mu Xiang staring thoughtfully at the city gate.
"Not yet, He An has gone to the latrine, wait for him, he should be back soon," Mu Xiang glanced at the city gate. The gates of the city were wide open, and there were many pedestrians and carriages entering, and it seemed to be prosperous, and who knew how many evil intentions were hidden under this prosperity!
"The prince is narrow-minded, so are you, what do you say to him, he has to have an opinion, just say to Sheng'er, okay, it's not too early, you can go?"
That's right, but Helian Mingde wouldn't say that, because he's also an extremely protective person.
The corners of Helian Mingde's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he thought, if it weren't for you hitting Tang Hao's face several times, making him lose face, and making the emperor a little disappointed in him, how could he hate you to the bone?
Mu Xiang picked up the curtain, sat down where He An was sitting, and looked at him with a light smile, "I met the prince on the road and said a few words to him, His Royal Highness the prince is really, you have to find my stubble, you tell me, I just defeated him in front of the emperor that day, yes, the emperor also ordered him to go to the army, even if he resisted the order, it would be okay, and he came to find my stubble, it was so unreasonable!" ”
The standard loudspeaker attracted people who entered and left the city to turn their heads to look at him.
"Girl, you are deceiving the old man again, what is the time now? The sun is almost drying his ass," Helian Mingde's loud voice began to scold again.
Da Fei drove the carriage and came right after, this time he didn't need the old man to stop him, he stopped by himself, didn't he have to wait for He An!
Seeing his impatient look, Comber had no choice but to order someone to drive the carriage and go first.
Helian Mingde waved his hand, "Those tasteless pastries, what is there to eat, you hurry up!" ”
"Haven't you eaten yet? There are pastries in the carriage, do you want the old lady to use some? As soon as Comber heard that he had not eaten, he was in a hurry.
Helian Mingde finished scolding, and his anger almost disappeared, and when he heard that he was going to take care of it first, it was not good to always stop him, so he retreated to the side, "Then you go, remember to let them prepare food, the old man gets up early in the morning, and he is dying of hunger!" ”
As soon as Comber lifted the curtain, he saw that the top of his old man's head was about to smoke, so he hurriedly comforted, "You don't get angry, Madame didn't mean to delay, but I met an acquaintance on the road and delayed, no, Madame asked me to take a step forward to look at the things in the village, the old lady still let go of the way, and let the old slave pass!" ”
Helian Mingde jumped out of the carriage and stood in the middle of the road to curse, so Comber, who was one step ahead, had to stop.
Helian Mingde was impatient for a long time, and finally saw the carriage coming, and he was angry, "Stinky girl, let the old man come and wait early in the morning, you are good, you have been grinding and rubbing, and you haven't seen anyone for a long time, do you think it's fun to play with the old man?" ”
The two wagons are scattered to attract the attention of the other party, so as to distract the other party's secret manpower.
On this side, He An vigilantly prevented someone from following him, but on the other side, Mu Xiang and the others swaggered through the market, and even ordered Comber's carriage to leave first.
can let Yan Zhongtong pass the news with his eyes, indicating that they must be in danger when they go out of the city this time. In the capital, there are too many people who want to kill their masters and seize their positions.
After He An finished reading the rags, he didn't dare to delay, put the rags into his clothes, probed out of the thatched house, and saw that there was no one around, so he quickly walked out and pretended to be nothing to do in the city.
He An slipped into the thatched house, looked around first, and made sure that there was no one, so he dared to open the rags, only to see a prescription list written on it, saying that it was a prescription list, but it was not like a cure, but it seemed to be harmful.
There are public thatched houses in the capital, all of which are taken care of by special people, and they are very clean.
He An got out of the carriage, but Da Fei drove the carriage and walked forward without stopping.
"Yes, yes, thank you, ma'am," He An grabbed the rags and ran, covering his buttocks as he ran, as if he was running slower and would pull it out at any time.
Mu Xiang lifted the curtain and threw a crumpled strip of rags to him, "Only this, you can use it improvised, before you come back, remember to wash your hands, otherwise you will follow the carriage by yourself!" ”
"It's convenient, I want you to take care of it," He An said this, but he walked by the side of the carriage as if unintentionally, embarrassed, but said loudly: "Madam, do you have any paper?" The little one came out without paper! ”
waved the whip vigorously, "You kid has a lot to do, go and go back quickly, if you delay the master's trip, we won't wait for you!" ”
Da Fei was stunned, and was about to ask something, when Mu Xiang pinched the soft flesh on his waist from behind. He bared his teeth in pain, and finally he was not stupid enough to be hopeless.
He An is such a clever person, he immediately stretched, "I ate too much porridge in the morning, really, Da Fei, you catch the carriage, I'll go for convenience, and I'll wait for me at the city gate!" ”
