Chapter 105: The Village Chief
Chen Wenhui was also secretly looking at Han Shuyi, this lady of the loyal and righteous prince was really like the rumors, she didn't look panicked at all in the bloody mountain forest before, and now she is at peace in this simple mountain village, and she always maintains her demeanor, as if she is not in an adobe house now, and the ground is not full of mud, but sitting in the Mingtang house, which is really extraordinary. Chen Wenhui likes such women the most in her life, she hates those delicate nobles the most, for such a capable, measured, and beautiful, she has a good impression at first sight.
Therefore, Chen Wenhui took the initiative to talk to Han Shuyi: "Is Mrs. Shizi rushing back from the northwest?" ”
Han Shuyi also likes a little girl like Chen Wenhui, and feels that she smells the same as her, so she smiled and said: "Miss Chen, don't be polite to me, since you are familiar with my second brother, you can follow him and call me sister-in-law or sister Han." My name is Han Shuyi. ”
Chen Wenhui naturally didn't want to follow Zhao Chongyi to call her sister-in-law, so she said, "Then I'll call Sister Han, okay?" It's just that Sister Han shouldn't call me Miss Chen, it's weird, it's better to call me Wen Hui. ”
Han Shuyi said: "It's okay, it turns out that your name is Wen Hui, a strange name." How old are you? ”
Wen Hui said: "I will turn 11 years old in a few days. ”
Han Shuyi said: "Oh, it's so young, I'm thirteen or fourteen years old?" It's growing so tall that it's almost catching up with me. ”
Chen Wenhui grinned and said, "My mother said that I followed my aunts, and they were all big people. ”
Han Shuyi nodded and said, "Well, the girls of the Chen family have always been long and jade, and you should be so tall." ”
The two of them were chatting here, and Zhao Chongyi came in and saw his sister-in-law and Wen Hui talking, and felt that this picture was so good that he forgot to speak for a while.
Han Shuyi laughed secretly in her heart, this second brother, he is very shrewd on weekdays, why did he start to be stupid as soon as he met this Chen Wenhui. And Chen Wenhui is still down-and-out and generous, it seems that this second brother is unrequited, blame the pitiful: "Second brother." What are you doing in here? But is it arranged outside? ”
Zhao Chongyi reacted and said: "I just want to report to my sister-in-law, the soldiers I left in the mountains and forests have already arrived, and those wolves have been dealt with, please send them to my sister-in-law." ”
Han Shuyi said: "We keep those wolf skins, and those wolf flesh is not easy to take, so we will hand it over to the village chief and distribute it to the villagers. Give them no waste, and give them a tooth sacrifice. Wait a while. Let's rest, let's continue to move forward, it's best to rush back to the capital before dawn, so I think it's time to get to the capital, and it's probably dawn. The gates are open, and we can rest when we get home. By the way, I'll send someone to leave some more silver for the village chief, after all, I'm disturbing people. ”
Zhao Chongyi looked at Chen Wenhui. Chen Wenhui said: "Sister Shuyi arranged it very well, since this wolf meat was given to the villagers, I should pay for the silver." Qiubi, go and give the silver to the village chief. Thank you. ”
Qiu Bi hurriedly agreed to go down to find the village chief. The village chief was very happy to get so much wolf meat at once, which was more than the meat they could get from hunting in a year in the village, and now everyone in the village could get a share of this meat, which was a great joy. In fact, it's just to clean the room, and the ladies of the family take a rest, and it doesn't cost at all. But I got so much meat for nothing, which is really an unexpected surprise. However, when accepting this meat, the village chief and the hunters in the village couldn't help but admire, so many wolves. There are more than 200 of them, and it is not easy to kill them all at once, and if these wolves all flow into the mountain village, I am afraid that this small mountain village will not be able to deal with it. Thanks to the large number of these people, it was dealt with lightly. It's just that there is too much wolf meat, there are only more than 100 people in my village, and each person can get two wolves of wolf meat, these wolves are big wolves in the mountains and forests, fat and strong, and have a lot of meat. It's just that it's summer right now, I'm afraid it's not tolerable, it's best to buy some salt, pickle it, so that you can eat it for a longer time, but this salt can make it expensive, where in the village can you have the money to buy so much? It would be a pity that you can only boil these meats with boiling water, and you can eat as much as you want. At this time, Qiu Bi found the village chief, first thanked the village chief politely, and then took out two jars of tea leaves that he carried with him on the carriage and gave them to the village chief. The village chief has also seen the world, and he is overjoyed to know that this is a good tea. After Qiu Bi sent the tea, she left another twenty taels of silver to thank the village chief for taking in. Where had the village chief seen so much silver, and was about to shirk it, Qiu Bi said: "These twenty taels of silver are given to the people of the village, because so many of us disturb the rest of the villagers, and we also trouble you to give water to drink and grass to the horses." ”
When the village chief heard that it was a bad refusal for the villagers, he was overjoyed, now it is good, with these twenty taels of silver, it is enough to buy so much salted meat, and now everyone has food for half a year. Moreover, the silver should not be used up, and it is enough for everyone in the village to share a little.
Qiu Bi took out another purse, which contained two small red gold ingots and said, "I see that there are two children at the village chief's house, and we disturbed them, so these two little gold ingots will be given to the children to play with." In addition, twenty taels of silver were given to the village chief, and it was our girl who occupied your house and gave the rent money. ”
The village chief didn't expect that he would be able to get these twenty taels alone, and there were also gold ingots, so he was so excited that he forgot to postpone it. Qiu Bi didn't care, the idea of money and things was not in her eyes, she explained, left the things and silver, and hurried back, and served the girl. The village chief was left alone to set off a shocking wave in his heart, and this night was really too rewarding.
Han Shuyi was not polite to Chen Wenhui, nodded, Zhao Chongyi looked at it for a while, Wen Hui and his sister-in-law had such a tacit understanding, and couldn't help but feel happy and happily arranged. Chen Wenhui and Han Shuyi said a few words, Zhao Chongyi arranged it, the carriage was ready, Qiu Bi also came back, so they got into the carriage and set off forward, sure enough, they arrived at the capital at dawn, just when they arrived at the city gate, it was when the city gate was opened, and the two families showed their identities and naturally entered the city. Entering the city, the two families are not in the same direction, Chen Wenhui and Han Shuyi said a few polite words, Chen Wenhui said: "Thank you Brother Yi for your rescue, I will come to thank you another day, and, Sister Shuyi, thank you too, I will go back and wait for Sister Shuyi to rest, and then give my sister a post." ”
Han Shuyi also talked to Wen Hui about getting together later, because she didn't sleep all night, she was very tired, so she went back to her home.
Chen Wenhui returned to his house, and as soon as he returned to his yard and sat down, the Bai family rushed over. Chen Wenhui hurriedly welcomed in, Bai looked at her daughter, and asked with a somewhat haggard face: "Hui'er, I thought you lived with Master Qiu?" Why did you come home just after dawn? But are you in a hurry? Is there any danger? ”
After all, Chen Wenhui often went to Master Qiu's residence before, and there were times when he didn't come back at night, so Bai didn't worry too much when he didn't see his daughter come back at night, after all, there were many people who thought about his daughter with him, maids, mothers-in-law, and guards.
Now seeing Wen Hui's haggard appearance, and returning home as soon as it is dawn, he immediately knows that there must be something wrong on the road.
Chen Wenhui hurriedly said a qiē, when it came to the mountains and forests to meet wolves, Bai's frightened face turned white, and when Zhao Chongyi happened to pass by and saved everyone, Bai's was already in tears: "Good boy, really good boy, it's really a shame that he arrived and saved you, if you have three long and two short, your mother can't live." You must remember this lesson in the future, and you must not take risks so lightly again. ”
Chen Wenhui said: "I changed, I didn't feel scared at the time, but later, when the wolves were wiped out, I got out of the carriage and saw that there was blood everywhere, and I vomited all at once, but I was embarrassed." ”
Bai Shi looked at his daughter's shy appearance, and couldn't cry or laugh: "When you encounter such a life-and-death situation, you just care about throwing up and losing face?" ”
Chen Wenhui said: "Mother doesn't know, Brother Yi came back to escort his sister-in-law, and Mrs. Shizi returned to the capital, so she just happened to save me." That Mrs. Shizi, Sister Han Shuyi's demeanor is extraordinary, her bearing is calm, and she is also calm when she stands at the bloody scene, which is really admirable, and I am far behind. ”
Bai thought for a while and said: "The Han family has always taught women to be good, although his family is from Jiangmen, because he has been in the capital for a long time, he has also learned Confucianism, but the Jiangmen atmosphere has not been lost, so there are many talents, not only the daughters are excellent, but the boys are also very good, and there are many people in various armies, which can be called a big family." This daughter of the Han family, who became the wife of the prince of Zhongyi, had a good name when she was in her mother's family, and I am very happy that you can make friends with her. Okay, I think you must have not slept all night, so hurry up and wash up and sleep. I sent someone to your Aunt Hu and told her that you should go back tomorrow to do something. Don't do anything today, just take a break? ”
Chen Wenhui nodded and said: "It's all according to my mother's arrangement, but my guards are injured a lot, so I won't arrange it, my mother will arrange for me to see a doctor and bandage them, and it's best to send them to the hospital for good treatment." and give me a reward. I rested first. ”
After yawning, I was scared, excited, and nervous, but I was not sleepy all the time, but when I arrived at home, my heart settled down, and my sleepiness came up.
Bai Shi hurriedly agreed, and personally watched the maids serve her to freshen up, lay on the bed and sleep, and then walked out of the door, while sending someone to Hu Shi, while comforting Wen Hui's guards. I secretly thought in my heart, I must thank Zhao Chongyi, if it weren't for him, my baby daughter would almost be gone, and I was afraid to think about it.
