078 Outer Room (Two More Powder)
Shang Shixun looked at the person in front of him with a blank gaze, and he couldn't feel anything except her. The woman's clothes were torn and did not fit. She wore a torn hat on her head, and a few strands of hair were mischievously exposed, which was even more embarrassing. Her face was small, and Shang Shixun suspected that it was not as big as his own palm. The skin was very white, but it was probably frightened, with a layer of redness.
What touched Shang Shixun the most was the woman's eyes. Her face was small, and her eyes were surprisingly large, but they weren't ugly, but they were very attractive. Her pupils were particularly dark, and her eyes were glowing with water, as if she could shed tears at any moment.
Shang Shixun didn't know what was going on with him, just looking at the other party, he felt that one of his hearts was beating very fast, and an idea came out so suddenly.
At that moment, the woman got up from the ground, looked at him in alarm, and turned to leave. Ignoring the cold wind outside the car, Shang Shixun jumped down desperately and strode after the woman: "You wait! ”
He stopped the woman, but the woman was even more panicked, and her big eyes were full of pity. She hugged the burden in her arms, looked at Shang Shixun fearfully, and asked tremblingly, "You...... What do you want? ”
Shang Shixun only felt that the woman's voice was particularly beautiful, he was originally a veteran of Fengyue, but at the moment he was cramped, rubbed his hands and asked: "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person." You're here to escape, aren't you? Why is it just you, your relatives? ”
The woman first glanced at Shang Shixun suspiciously, and seemed to see that he didn't look like a bad person, so she nodded and said, "My family has suffered, the house has been crushed by heavy snow, and everyone in the family has died. I'm the only one left. As she spoke, her eyes were already red, and tears were rolling down her face. There was a little more sadness in his voice, "I heard that the Shang County Order of Qingshan County is a good official. I followed the people here, wanting to have a chance to live,"
Shang Shixun couldn't help but laugh proudly when he heard it, and every time someone praised Shang Shi's merits, he felt honored and very proud. He said to the woman: "You are right here, Shang County Ling is my brother, he is definitely a good official, there is nothing to say!" Speaking of this, he suddenly frowned, "I remember that my brother set aside a special place to house refugees. Food is served every day, why didn't you go? Can't you find a place? ”
Unexpectedly, the woman's face turned pale, and she shuddered, lowered her head and said, "Where is it...... There are too many people there. ”
Shang Shixun saw that she was concealing, and glanced at the woman carefully, and suddenly understood, his face sank, and he said angrily: "Someone bullied you? Nobody cares? ”
The woman smiled miserably: "The Shang County Order said that whoever makes trouble will be driven out." I don't dare to say it, and I don't dare to stay there any longer. ”
Shang Shixun saw her miserable expression, and felt sorry in his heart, and said anxiously: "Then where are you going to go?" Do you have any relatives in Qingshan County? ”
The woman shook her head. The expression was even more poignant: "I am going to go to the Yin Shi family to sell myself as a maidservant......"
When Shang Shixun heard this, he hurriedly interrupted her: "No! Absolutely not! You're so pretty, you're going to suffer! Come with me. I'll find a way to find a place to put you. As he spoke, he went to pull the woman's wrist, and the woman's face turned pale in shock. The body suddenly took a few steps back, and a pair of big eyes looked at Shang Shixun in horror.
Shang Shixun was embarrassed. He touched his nose and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm the younger brother of Shang County Ling, and I won't harm you." If you don't believe me, don't you believe my brother? ”
The woman hesitated for a while, and finally raised her head, looked at Shang Shixun with a firm gaze, and smiled at him gratefully: "I believe in you, you are a good person." ”
Shang Shixun is even more embarrassed, he has always liked to mess around, he has no serious errands, fortunately, his brother has great achievements, in order not to drag down his brother, he never dared to do anything wrong and run rampant in the township. Rao is so, and his reputation is not good, and no one has ever said that he is a 'good man'.
Now when he heard the woman say this, an impulse surged in his heart, and his heart beat faster.
He invited the woman to get into the carriage, and then ordered the coachman to go straight to the pawnshop in Qingshan County, exchanged a piece of jade on his body for silver, and took the woman to buy a small house with two entrances.
This piece of jade was given to him by the Shangsun clan when he was very young, and the jade quality is good, and the carving is good, it is a very good thing. He has always worn it on his body, and he never dared to have the idea of paying it back. But now in order to let this poor woman have a place to live, he can't care too much.
After buying the woman, he went to the tooth shop to personally select a few servants. He looked at the woman carefully, and at a glance at the fine skin and tender flesh, he knew that Lu Dao had never suffered hardship, and he couldn't bear to let the woman suffer.
Shang Shixun didn't know that the jade pendant he took away was actually a gift from Li Guangcai to Shang Shigong. At that time, although Shang Shigong was not very old, he had already studied a lot with Shang Youde, and gradually showed his gentlemanly demeanor. Li Guangcai liked it very much when he saw it, and it happened that there was a piece of beautiful jade on his body at that time, so he gave it to Shang Shigong.
However, after this piece of jade was seen by Shang Sun, he forcibly took it from Shang Shigong and put it on Shang Shixun's body. At that time, Shang Shixun was still young, he didn't remember, and he didn't know what was going on, so he was always disturbed by nightmares and cried non-stop.
However, since wearing that piece of jade, Shang Shixun has been freed from the nightmare. Therefore, Shang Sun felt that this jade was related to Shang Shixun, so it should be Shang Shixun's, so he let Shang Shixun wear it all the time.
Shang Shigong is a little bigger, and he has read a lot of sage books, and he thinks that he should be polite to his younger brother, although he likes that piece of jade very much, but he didn't ask Shang Shixun for it.
Shang Shixun is not confused, he is a job, as long as he gathers all the silver, he can redeem the jade. Anyway, he has been wearing that piece of jade close to his body, even if he doesn't have Shang Sun's family, he won't know it.
He consciously did a great deed, until he returned to the business, and he still had Li Yunxiang's shadow in his mind. Li Yunxiang was the name of the poor woman, and after Shang Shixun bought her slaves, he also bought clothes, incense, powder, and jewelry. Li Yunxiang probably wanted to thank him, so she specially groomed and dressed up and saluted him.
Shang Shixun looked at her appearance after grooming and dressing, and his heart suddenly beat like a drum, and even his breathing became rapid. The coachman was puzzled, although Li Yunxiang was beautiful, her appearance was slightly inferior to Li Shuhua, that is, she was a little better than Zhang Chunhua and He Yuanfang, and Shang Shixun was not a person who had never seen the world, why did she look like she had seen a fairy?
However, his status is low, and Shang Shixun's affairs are not for him to ask. Shang Shixun was afraid that he would say it too much, so he threatened and warned him along the way, forcing the coachman to make a poisonous oath to keep it a secret, and then he was relieved.
When he returned to the business, the driver breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't know that all this was just the beginning.
Since arranging a place for Li Yunxiang, Shang Shixun seems to have been obsessed with this woman named Li Yunxiang. He no longer went to find those fox friends and dog friends, but racked his brains to find different excuses to meet Li Yunxiang. Every time I go, I bring some gifts. Gradually, Li Yunxiang was moved by his true feelings, and the two of them finally crossed the thunder pool.
After a breakthrough in the relationship, Shang Shixun became more attentive to Li Yunxiang. He gave all the money he originally planned to put together to redeem the jade pendant to Li Yunxiang, and Li Yunxiang became his outer room.
When Shang Shixun was satisfied with the return of the beauty, the letter sent by Shang Shigong also worked, and the prefect sent many people, and the riots in the neighboring counties were quickly suppressed. It's a pity that when they arrived, the county government had already been burned, and the county order's family was cooked and eaten by the angry victims, so it was not miserable.
All the troublemakers were arrested, but the snow and collapsed houses had to be dealt with. Those who had fled to Qingshan County and nearby counties were called back to clear the snow and rebuild their houses.
When they left, Shang Shigong asked them to bring back all the materials donated by the people, although it was not much, it was finally a heart.
As soon as the refugees left, Qingshan County returned to its former tranquility. The only difference is that Shang Shixun secretly raised an outer room without hiding from the merchants.
Shang Shixun has a monthly allowance of ten taels of silver per month, and Shang Sun is afraid that he will be wronged, so he will subsidize some. There is not much money, but he usually drinks a little wine, as long as he doesn't spend it too indiscriminately, it is still enough for him. Now it's different, he doesn't want to wronged Li Yunxiang, not only gave Li Yunxiang all his monthly silver, but also lied that his friend was going to do business and he planned to buy shares, and cheated two hundred taels of silver from Zhang Chunhua and Shang Sun's hands.
In the entire business, no one knew that Lu Dao Shang Shixun secretly raised an outer room. Zhang Chunhua and Shang Sun learned that Shang Shixun wanted to invest in trading, and they were relieved that he had finally opened his mind, but they didn't know that Shang Shixun turned around and took the money they had worked hard to get together to curry favor with Li Yunxiang.
Shang Jinxiu didn't care about the second room of the merchant, she was busy giving gifts to the Li family at this time. After the weather turned cold, she built a greenhouse in Zhuangzi to grow vegetables, and now many vegetables can be harvested.
She built a lot of greenhouses in Zhuangzi and grew a lot of vegetables, which can not only supply the needs of her own family and the Li family, but also supply 'Yipin Xian'. There are no vegetables in winter, and the average person eats pickles that are pickled in the morning, and fresh vegetables are rare, which can only be eaten by the great nobles, and most people don't even think about it.
The Li family is considered the richest man in Qingshan County, but in winter, they can only eat pickles and kimchi with others, of course, there is a lot of meat.
Shang Jinxiu harvested a batch of vegetables, and did not go home, but sent them directly to the Li family. Seeing that Old Man Li's eyes were round, he learned that Shang Jinxiu had built a conservatory, and he would be able to eat such fresh vegetables in the future, and the smile on Old Man Li's face never went down.
Not only is the old man Li happy, but the daughters of the Li family are even more happy. It's okay for men to like meat, but women like to eat vegetables. Even the three daughters-in-law of the Li family were full of praise for Shang Jinxiu.
Originally, because the business of 'Yipinxian' was becoming more and more prosperous, the three of them had some opinions in their hearts, but now they were bribed by Shang Jinxiu with fresh vegetables, and they instantly forgot about their previous dissatisfaction, and looked at Shang Jinxiu's eyes one by one gentle.
As soon as the fresh vegetables appeared in 'Yipin Xian', He Yunqi was even more anxious. (To be continued......)
