Another big thing happened in the town of Kangxi.

When the peddlers and pawns meet, the first thing they ask each other is, "Have you heard?" Then the other party will reply, "Isn't it that the ancient mansion reported the Wang Tianshi in the Taoist temple to the lobby of the yamen, and I heard about it early in the morning." ”

The woman who had nothing to do got together, and woman A said: "It's really tens of millions, I haven't even seen Miss Ren's birthday, so I dare to give an approval, saying that I have no children in my life, and Miss Bad Guy's marriage road is not afraid of being killed by thunder!" ”

Woman B said, "That's it, that's it, let me tell you, my mother's uncle's sister-in-law's brother's brother's niece originally set a good family affair, and the fiancé's family asked Wang Tianshi to see the happy day, but Wang Tianshi said that the woman's life was hard, and she would be able to get married, not to mention ruining a family of relatives, and ruining the reputation of the girl's family. The girl had to marry a poor cripple in the end. I passed by to see it a while ago, don't look at the marriage of a cripple, the boom that was only called that day, people want their sons to have sons, they want their daughters to have daughters, and they have saved enough money to build a green brick house, tsk...... The man's family who retired from the girl now regrets dying, and he scolds Wang Tianshi for harming people all day long. ”

Woman C said: "The young lady of this ancient mansion is very powerful, and if she changes to a girl's house, she may hang herself." She didn't, she endured it silently for so many days, and at once she arrested Wang Tianshi and sued him to the yamen. ”

The woman pouted, with a bit of foxes between her eyebrows, and said: "Cut, the ancient mansion has silver, and the ancient mansion said that Wang Tianshi deliberately harmed Miss Gu, then Wang Tianshi is harming Miss Gu, no, it has to be." What do you know about the rich and noble? ”

When the woman heard this, she pouted and walked away, and no one answered the woman's words.

The woman bit her lip, twisted her waist, and went home with the small basket in her hand. As soon as she entered the door, she saw several sturdy men standing with their backs to her in the small courtyard, and her man was nodding and talking to these men. Her heart was on fire, she smashed the basket in her hand, and said sharply: "Erniu, why did you bring someone back again?" I don't know if the rice jars at home have bottomed out? There's no way to live this day. ”

The short man, who was called Erniu, wiped the sweat from his forehead and winked at the woman and told her to shut up.

The woman relied on her own posture, she has always pressed the man, where will she pay attention to the man's eyes, "You are a useless man, it is difficult enough to eat bran vegetables every day, you are good, bring the white meal to the house every once in a while." I don't want to live, so I said directly, let's break up quickly, there are many men waiting to marry me, and I have already had enough of this kind of heart-wrenching life. ”

Erniu blushed a lot, feeling that he had lost all his face.

At this time, Ding Jiabao turned around, "Xiaosuo, it turns out that no matter where you go, you are not a person who can live in peace." ”

The woman's eyes widened, her body unconsciously retreated, and finally hit the wall next to the courtyard gate before stopping, her body trembling slightly, "You...... You ......"

The clothes on Ding Jiabao's body were no longer the cheapest coarse cloth clothes, but a dark blue ordinary silk dress that each of the men of the ancient mansion had. He glanced at the woman expressionlessly, "At the beginning, you were a maid in the ancient mansion, but you accepted the benefits of others when the young lady was in distress, and did not save the young lady in time, and the young lady who was almost killed died." The young lady has a good heart, and she thinks that she has served you for a few years, and she does not kill you with a rod, but only sells you. Not only are you not grateful for Miss's kindness, but you have evil thoughts in your heart, and you conspire with the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple to spread rumors and slander Miss, what do you want to do? ”

That's right, this woman is none other than the small lock that Qingshu asked Gu Qiang to sell when Gufu was in the capital. At the request of Gu Qiang, Ren Yazi sold the small lock to Beijing. At that time, the person who bought the small lock from Ren Yazi was sent by Sun Renhuai's wife, Sun Zhang. As soon as the man changed hands, he sold the small lock to a small merchant surnamed Tie who was heading south.

Xiao Suo resented Gu Qingshu's ruthlessness, and felt that Gu Qingshu was sorry for her and ruined her dream of marrying into Xiao Mansion. When Sun Rouyue bought her, she not only had the benefits of gold and silver, but also promised to bring her into the Xiao Mansion as a first-class maid when she married into the Xiao Mansion. In this way, she is the first-class girl next to Sun Rouyue, and she will naturally become a girl in the room, and she can be promoted to an aunt when she is pregnant with an heir, and she will be able to eat and drink in gold and silver in the future.

Unexpectedly, the dream of the aunt who wore gold and silver was shattered, and the little lock was very unwilling. She wanted to escape back to Beijing to find Sun Rouyue, but she couldn't find a chance to escape, and the little guy in the iron merchant watched her very closely. The iron merchant bought her because he liked her a little bit of beauty, and there was a little fox between his eyebrows. He wanted to take the little lock back to the house and give it to his amorous father in the house, and he could get a lot of family property. I never thought that when I returned to the house, the lady of the iron merchant misunderstood that the iron merchant wanted to take a concubine, and she had a good time with the iron merchant. In the evening, while coaxing the lady, the iron merchant told the lady that he was going to sù the lady.

This matter was overheard by the small lock that was trying to escape. Xiao Suo thought about it, he couldn't escape anyway, it was better to be with a younger man than with an old man, and besides, the lady of the iron merchant was not very good-looking, she would definitely have a chance to replace her. So, she found an opportunity, climbed into the bed of the iron merchant at night, and became the woman of the iron merchant. The lady of the iron merchant returned to her parents' house angrily, and the iron merchant also promised to treat Xiaosuo well.

However, it backfired. The lady of the iron merchant was very spicy, and took advantage of the fact that the iron merchant was not at home to bring her brother back, and put the small lock in the shop, and gave the long-term worker Erniu in the shop. In order to prevent future troubles, the lady of the iron merchant also wrapped the two cows, and let the two cows go far away with the small lock, and they were not allowed to come back.

Erniu is ugly, short and short, and he hasn't married a lady in his thirties. With such a lady as Xiaosuo, Erniu was overjoyed, packed up his things and took Xiaosuo back to his hometown to live. Xiaosuo couldn't bear the hardships in the village, couldn't do the work in the field, couldn't stand the anger of her mother-in-law, relied on Erniu to scarve her, crying and crying to leave the village to beg for a living outside. So, Er Niu took her to Kangxi Town, rented two of the five rooms of a family to settle down, and went out to do various jobs during the day to earn money to support Xiaosuo.

Xiao Suo, who was already unwilling, soon knew that the ancient mansion left the capital in this town when she arrived in Kangxi Town, so she paid close attention to the movements of the ancient mansion. Watching Gu Mansion in the limelight in the town, and watching Xiao Juan and Xiao Yu, who had been trampled under her feet in the past, dress up beautifully and follow Gu Qingshu in and out every day, the resentment and hatred in her heart grew like poisonous weeds. When there is an opportunity, it is natural to take revenge.

When the catcher quickly took Erniu and Xiaosuo away, the owner of the house kept explaining to Ding Jiabao, saying that he didn't know that the couple had committed a crime. Ding Jiabao repeatedly assured that the ancient mansion would not anger others, and the owner's face was a little better.

Yamen ascended to the hall to inquire about the case, and the Taoist priest and Xiaosuo, who claimed to be Wang Tianshi, denied it at first, but later a small Taoist priest in the Taoist temple testified and was tortured again, and was soon recruited. It turned out that a few days ago, two mothers-in-law of rich and noble families came to the Taoist temple, with foreign accents, and gave Wang Tianshi a benefit fee of 50 taels of silver, and asked Wang Tianshi to give a woman named Gu Qingshu a life as "a prosperous life, and a lifetime without children".

Wang Tianshi's Taoist temple is outside the town, and he wants to sit in the Taoist temple, so he basically doesn't go out, he doesn't know which family Gu Qingshu is, and he has never heard of Gu Qingshu's power. The two mothers-in-law told him that their lord passed by Kangxi Town and fell in love with such a girl, and wanted to take this girl as a concubine, but he was worried that the lady of the house would not allow it. So, their lord thought of this method and asked Wang Tianshi for approval, just to accept this girl as a concubine. The two mothers-in-law also said that there would be a woman who would take a tael of silver to the temple to offer incense, and that Wang Tianshi only needed to tell the woman about the fate, and nothing else would matter. Wang Tianshi thought that he would get fifty-one taels of silver before and after moving his mouth, and he was naturally willing to do it.

And Xiao Suo, a few days ago, I went out to buy rice, and on the way back, I met a well-dressed maid, who called Xiao Suo's name and asked Xiao Suo if he wanted to take revenge on Gu Qingshu. Xiao Suo was moved, but he didn't agree immediately. The maid stuffed five taels of silver and a silver hairpin into the hand of the little lock, and gave it to the small lock, and on the second day, she took one or two pieces of silver to the Taoist temple to offer incense, and spread the instructions she heard from Wang Tianshi, and the remaining four taels of silver and the silver hairpin were the little lock's.

Whether it was Wang Tianshi or Xiao Suo, they didn't know what the other party was. Wang Tianshi only knew that the two mothers-in-law had foreign accents. Xiaosuo said that the maid who found her had a Beijing accent, and the clothes were made of materials that only the big maids in the mansions of the powerful and wealthy in the capital could wear.

The case is closed here, and it is unknown who is behind the scenes. Qing Shu was silent, the rumors came only after the three princes arrived in Kangxi Town, but all the three princes and the officials were men, and there was no maid and wife to accompany them, so there was no way to investigate.

Qing Shu pinched the note left by Zhou Boyan, thinking that the third prince would get out of the house in a few days, and let Gu Qiang order him to go down, everyone had to cheer up one hundred and twenty points in the past few days, in case the third prince made another move.

In the inn. Zhu Jiu inquired about the news from the Yamen and reported it to the third prince.

The third prince had a gloomy face, "What did you say?" ”

Zhu Jiu lowered his head, "Xiao Suo confessed that the maids and women who bought them all spoke with a Beijing accent, not locals." The subordinates guessed that the ancient mansion would definitely suspect the master. Because when the gossip was spreading, it was when the master brought the officials from Beijing to Kangxi Town. "It's really time to get there, and it's inevitable to be suspicious. Every time he thought of the kick that Yan Gongzi kicked him with an expressionless face, he would always be frightened.

He was strong and healthy, but the pain passed in a few days. Old Eunuch Tan lay down for three days before he could get out of bed. However, even if they are kicked, they are grateful to Yan Gongzi. If it weren't for the young prince who kicked them fiercely, according to the personality of the three princes, where would they have a chance to live.

The third prince slapped the table, "Slut, your hand is stretched too long, looking for death." If it weren't for that rumor, Sinong Temple Shaoqing would not have changed his mind, he would not have changed his plan temporarily, let alone anything that changed on the way, and Zhou Boyan would not have torn his face with him. Although he is a prince, in front of the emperor, his ten sentences are not worth one sentence of Zhou Boyan. In this situation, how can he not hate, but he has no choice but to try his best to build a good relationship with Zhou Boyan, thinking about the future for a long time. But in the end, one wrong step was ruined.

Before he could save his relationship with Zhou Boyan, he was pulled back, and his face immediately turned a little hideous, "Wait, I will be the first to clean her up after returning to Beijing." ”

Zhu Jiu was afraid that the master would be angry with them again, so he hurriedly said: "The master is angry." The master's trip has been very rewarding, and no matter how arrogant the young man is, he can't turn over the palm of the master's hand. ”

Hearing this, the third prince immediately eased his face and was in a better mood, "What the queen mother said is right, the ancient mansion and Gu Qingyang are Zhou Boyan's death holes." Although he couldn't hold him this time, it also confirmed the queen mother's words. As long as you take Gu Qingyang, see how arrogant he is! ”

After letting Zhu Jiu retreat, the third prince snorted coldly and asked the eunuch to bring wine and snacks and drink for himself. He will remember the humiliation that Zhou Boyan gave him in his life, and he will definitely make good use of the winter wheat planted in the ancient mansion, take the ancient mansion, hold Gu Qingyang, and let Zhou Boyan crawl on the ground like a dog, let him drive and scold.

Although Zhou Boyan said that Gu Qingshu was the woman he fancied, in the eyes of the third prince, this was just an excuse for Zhou Boyan to hide people's ears. The third prince is sure that a woman like Gu Qingshu, who has no rules, no talent and a perverse personality, will not be favored by famous sons at all. Not to mention a famous son, it should be said that any man with no problem with his brain will not take a fancy to Gu Qingshu.

Just when the third prince was waiting for the winter wheat to ripen, waiting for the time to make a big fuss, and to make a good whole of the people in the ancient mansion, he didn't want to, but in two days, a secret letter from Beijing made him sit still. He hesitated for no more than a quarter of an hour, Huo Di got up, shouted for people to pack up, and hurriedly left Kangxi Town. Sinong Temple Shaoqing and others were also taken away by him.

The post house was empty, and Bai Xianfu was happy. Finally, he doesn't have to live in fear anymore, he can not be happy! Although I don't know the details, only the long-eyed ones can see that the prince of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, that is, Lord Yushi, and the three princes from Beijing are facing each other. He was not puzzled, why did the three princes of the dignified state be beaten by the imperial history but did not dare to fight back? Not only did he not fight back, but after being beaten, the third prince did not take the imperial history seriously, and felt that this matter was quite strange. But he didn't dare to inquire indiscriminately, for fear of getting angry.

After getting the exact news that the third prince had gotten out, Qing Shu felt comfortable in his heart, and at the same time wondered, how did Zhou Boyan know that the third prince would definitely not stay for five days?

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is time for the winter wheat harvest. By the time Qingshu got to Zhuangzi by the car, Zhang Da and the others had already cut down more than three acres of wheat.

I saw the little old man of the peasant official dancing all over the ground, staring at the loaded cars, constantly telling them to handle them gently, not to drop the wheat grains, etc., which was very noisy.

Qing Shu watched the wheat for a while, glanced at Steward Wu, and walked towards Zhuangzi.

Steward Wu understood and immediately followed.

After entering Zhuangzi, Qing Shu instructed Wu to take care of things, "Keep an eye on it, every car must be quietly hidden, and hide it tightly for me." When the wheat is threshing, let the farmer keep an eye on it, and when the scales are over, let the farmer look at the scales. When the farmer is gone, you don't need me to teach you how to do it! ”

Don't look at Steward Wu's stupid appearance, but he is also a shrewd person, he quietly reported to Qing Shu, and the one he pulled back had already hidden half of the car, so that Qing Shu could rest assured.

Qing Shu nodded with satisfaction, but also told him to be careful and not let people see it.

Qing Shu did this in order not to be too eye-catching, and wanted to hide the real harvest from the outside world. When the government no longer intervenes and withdraws people, they will control the actual harvest themselves. Of course, there is another reason. Her winter wheat planting was successful, and the emperor would definitely let the people of Huizhou plant winter wheat. When the time comes, the harvest planted by the people will be better than the harvest reported by Qingshu this year, and the emperor will be happy, not expecting to be rewarded, but only asking for no fault. If the harvest planted by the people is similar to what Qingshu reported this year, the emperor will not be happy with Qingshu. The planting is too bad, no matter how little the harvest is, there must be too much, and when the time comes, Qingshu also has something to say, the other party has not mastered the planting technology.

Qingshu doesn't want to take any responsibility for dedicating planting technology for free, this hiding is a must. Ten acres of wheat are harvested in one day, and the wheat is threshed the next day.

When the wheat was laid out on the threshing field, a horse and a donkey were brought over, and they were blindfolded and covered with round rollers of stones. The horse pulls a stone roller in front of him, and the donkey pulls a stone roller behind, and when the whip is flung and the reins are pulled, the horse and the donkey pull the stone roller round and round on the paved straw. After a while the stone rollers were pressed, someone went up and loosened the flattened wheat stalks with a wooden fork. In order to play faster, a game was also laid on the side, and the men worked in groups of two to pull a stone roller.

Wheat threshing at this time is something that has never happened in the whole Kangxi Town, and the people in the nearby villages have men and women, old and young, and many people have gathered to see the excitement. Gu Dashu and Li Chu were also there, and Gu Dashu's eldest son and second son walked into the field with a smile, replaced the two people on Zhuangzi, and helped pull the stone rollers.

Gu Dashu and Li Chu squatted beside them, grabbed some freshly fallen wheat grains from under the wheat stalks, looked at them, nodded and praised that the grains were big and full.

Steward Wu came over to talk to them, "Miss said, this harvest is good or not, you want to plant winter wheat, but you have to think well, if you don't take care of it properly before the winter freezes, and the spring rain is insufficient, the harvest will definitely be very poor." ”

Gu Dashu said, "It's this reason, it's not good to be greedy with just eyes, God doesn't give you a long face, and no one has a trick." ”

Li Chu agreed.

Steward Wu was quite rational when he heard what they said, so he said: "Miss said, if the two of you want to plant, if there is anything you don't understand, just ask." ”

Gu Dashu and Li Chu were a little flattered. Li Chu asked urgently: "Really? ”

Steward Wu: "Naturally, take it seriously. However, Miss has something to say in front, if the harvest is not good, you can't blame Miss for everything. ”

Li Chu smiled: "It's this reason, you can't complain." ”

When the surrounding people heard this, they were all ready to move, and they wanted to talk to Li Zheng from their village, but because of the presence of Steward Wu, they could only do it in a hurry.
