Chapter 006: Change the roundabout to conquer the routine
Anyway, for a few days, Feng Ran never approached Sui Yu again. That dammed man, who didn't enjoy such good herbs, deserved to suffer all the time.
Feng Ran took advantage of this gap to wander around the portable space to strengthen the tacit understanding with the gold bracelet. Second, she used the spiritual spring water, and in a few days, she was radiant, her body was great, and she was fragrant.
Sometimes looking at those generals of Sui Yu, Feng Ran was thinking, if she was asked to run a few kilometers of cross-country running with a weight or something, she would be able to persevere. If you encounter any dangerous situation in the future, you will have a sturdy body to call. The death of the little cannon fodder in the book is too tragic, and she must not let history repeat itself.
Although Feng Ran didn't go to "provoke" Sui Yu, she was not idle, she was familiar with the inside and outside of the Marquis Jiansheng's mansion.
At first, she couldn't understand that even if Sui Yu had made great contributions to Beili, it was a bit too much to build such a large scale of a Hou Ye's mansion, right? I'm afraid that the vassal king's mansions elsewhere can't compare to here, what does the Beili Imperial Court have in mind?
It wasn't until later that she went to the 100 acres of "fertile land" behind the Hou Mansion that she vaguely guessed the sinister intentions of the Beili court. The fertile land is nothing more than barren and cold land, and most of it is still in the territory of Higashino Country.
The imperial court was unwilling to give Sui Yu a real reward, and wanted to squeeze out his last value. Put such a general as Marquis Jiansheng on the border, and cause a strong deterrent to Dongye's side. Dongye is a vassal country, so you have to be obedient, aggrieved, and forbearing.
Feng Ran learned some details from the two Chang Sui, it seems that Dongye's tribute to Beili has been reduced by several percent in the past two years, and the court is quite dissatisfied. This just confirms Feng Ran's conjecture. What is the fate of Sui Yu? Not even a disabled body?
Feng Ran walked on the large wasteland, hugged his arms very tightly, and pulled the little abacus in his heart several times. Although she is still a eunuch in a novel, she can't predict the future development of the plot. Fortunately, God still favored her and gave her a portable space, and Lingquan would come in handy immediately.
In the spring of the next year, she used the power of Lingquan to revitalize this large wasteland. What you want to eat, what you grow, what you don't grow in the market, you will definitely make a lot of money. Thinking of the moisturizing days at that time, Feng Ran was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
But the premise is that you can't let Sui Yu send her back to the capital, otherwise any sweet dreams will be in vain. It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, so she has to continue to hold on to Sui Yu's stump legs. There are still three or four months to go before the beginning of spring next year, and she has to seize this opportunity to ease the relationship with Sui Yu.
As soon as Sui Yu saw Feng Ran, he was angry, and three or two sentences could cause him to jump like thunder. Fortunately, his legs are crippled, and if one day he can really walk normally, he may be able to bully Feng Ran.
Feng Ran was lying on the window lattice of the west main room, and saw Shui Sheng leading a Confucian in Tsing Yi who was about forty years old into the courtyard. Feng Ran hurriedly called Yun'er and asked her to go outside to find out. Yun'er obeyed, and after a while, she turned back.
"Madam, that Confucian man in Tsing Yi is Mr. Butler who was newly invited in by Hou Ye." Yun'er raised her eyes to look at Feng Ran as she spoke, worried that her master would be angry.
Feng Ran was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. Sui Yu would rather find an outsider to take charge of the house, rather than let her interfere in the internal affairs of the Marquis of Jiansheng's mansion. It's okay for him to do this, she still has a good time, anyway, as long as she can sit in the position of Mrs. Hou.
Feng Ran moved his arms and legs twice, and ordered: "Yun'er, you go to the front yard ward, and ask the people below to set me a carriage, let's go outside the mansion to breathe." ”
"Huh? But the Hou Ye ......"
"It's okay, Master Hou doesn't have the heart to care about me, let's go to the market." Feng Ran said abruptly, and had already set off to walk to the front yard.
The stables of the Marquis of Jiansheng were set up next to the west corner gate of the first courtyard. Yun'er took the lead in running over to the ward, while Rui'er accompanied Feng Ran to walk unhurriedly. The master and servant were about to walk out of the Hanging Flower Gate, and Jin Sheng chased after him from behind.
"Greetings to Madame, little one." Jin Sheng half-blocked in front of Feng Ran and bowed down.
Feng Ran glanced back in the direction of the main room, Fang turned his head and asked with a smile: "Where did Brother Jin come from?" ”
"Master Hou heard that Mrs. was going out, so he let the little one follow." Jin Sheng truthfully explained, "When we first came to Jinxian, Master Hou was worried that it would not be safe for his wife to go out alone. ”
Sui Yu knew the news very quickly, huh? It's true to send Jin Sheng to walk with her, just listen to the words of worrying about her safety. It's just to let Jin Sheng keep an eye on her, don't use the banner of "Mrs. Jiansheng Hou" to provoke right and wrong and embarrass people in Jinxian County.
Jinxian County is adjacent to Dongye, and there are very few border troops stationed here. On the opposite side is the Red Tiger Pass in the East Field Country, which is also not guarded by many garrisons, and there are not many people living there, making it even more empty on the East Field side.
Fortunately, trade exchanges on the border between the two countries are very frequent, with a small gathering every five days and a large gathering every ten days. Even during the state funeral of Emperor Yuan Jing's death, the bazaar was secretly open.
After all, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the jurisdiction of the imperial court has become very weak here. In addition, the people have to live, especially when the cold and long winter has come, and everyone has to stock up on food and clothing for the winter.
Feng Ran and his party came to the border market by carriage, and as soon as she jumped out of the carriage, she was blown by the cold wind and had a headache. Xu is the reason why he has been in the Hou Mansion for a long time, and he doesn't think that the climate here is any different from other places. It wasn't until he came here and endured the baptism of the wind that Feng Ran understood what the "bitter cold land" in Sui Yu's mouth meant.
The stalls on both sides of the market were filled with a dazzling array of goods, and Feng Ran's eyes shone brightly. She tightened her long cloak of raven blue satin and pulled up the two maids and slaughtered them into the bazaar.
Jin Sheng suddenly felt a sense of panic, and he always felt that today's mission was not a good job. Sure enough, in less than a meal, his arms were filled with all kinds of wooden boxes and packages.
At first, Yun'er and Rui'er could still keep the rules of maids, but they couldn't resist the temptation of their masters!
Mrs. Hou Ye is no longer the nasty face in the capital, she doesn't treat the people under her at all, and she rarely oppresses people with her identity. Not many days after coming to Jinxian County, Jin Sheng and Shui Sheng were really "bought" by Feng Ran.
The two maids looked at something twice, and Feng Ran bought it without saying a word. Jin Sheng followed behind and waited cautiously, very hard. Feng Ran saw it in his eyes, and helped him buy a lot of things, even the aquatic life who didn't come with him.
Jin Sheng had a feeling that he had taken someone else's short hand, and he was afraid that Feng Ran would suddenly ask him something. He still yearns for Hou Ye in his heart, he is Hou Ye's person~
After sweeping around the market, Feng Ran's money bag is about to bottom out, and she has a preliminary understanding of the customs here.
"Further on, it's the territory of Higashino, right?" Feng Ran touched the cloak on his shoulders and asked, "It's even more sparsely populated over there, where did all the people who came to the market come from?" ”
"There are very few markets in Dongye, and every time it is a day to catch the market, people from many places will come over on purpose." Jin Sheng poked his head out of the pile of wooden boxes and packages in front of him, and responded, "Although the land in the east field is vast, there is not much soil that can grow food, fruits and vegetables. In addition, the ancestors of Higashino lived as nomads, and only began to settle down in recent decades. ”
"I see." Feng Ran tapped his chin, "Brother Jin, do you think it's better here, or is it better in the northwest?" ”
Jin Sheng laughed twice, and his eyes showed his attachment to the land in the northwest.
He straightened his waist and said, "There is a drought in the west, especially in Mozhou, where the Hou Ye took us to station. It's fine to the east, but ......."
"But what?"
"Master Hou was arrogant when he took us to Mozhou. In those years, there were often wars, but most of them were led by Hou Ye to chase after Xiqi Xiao'er, beating them to run in all directions. For the rest of the day, we galloped through the desert, and we couldn't be too comfortable. ”
The four masters and servants had already gone back the same way, and Jin Sheng spoke enthusiastically, talking a lot more than usual, talking eloquently and without the intention of stopping.
Mozhou Iron Cavalry has this kind of magic, which is the hard work of Sui Yu for many years.
"What was Brother Jin'er's name before?" Feng Ran asked casually.
Jin Sheng paused and said honestly: "Hey, it doesn't matter what the little one is called. After Hou Ye had an accident, Yin and Yang were born to tell Hou Ye a hexagram, saying that Hou Ye lacked gold and water in his life, and Shui Sheng Fang and I changed our names. In the end, I came to make Hou Ye a regular follower, so that Hou Ye could be relieved. If he repeats it a few more times on weekdays, maybe good luck will come back. ”
Feng Ran envied Sui Yu, and looked at the people around him, they were all so loyal. Her trick of wooing people is obviously too pediatric. If you want to hug Sui Yu's thighs, you have to take down these people around him first.
She is also sincere, in the end, she came through, there is no hierarchy of dignity and inferiority, she thinks that everyone is the same as a person, and the master and servant or something are just a title. Replaced by the little cannon fodder in the past, the situation is not as good as these people underneath. Get by, everyone is more comfortable.
By the end of the day, the crowds in the market had gradually thinned. Feng Ran only listened to Jin Sheng's speech, completely unaware that he was being targeted by others.
A child in tattered clothes suddenly burst out, pulled away Feng Ran's money bag, and almost knocked her to the ground.
Jin Sheng reacted quickly, threw the thing in his arms to the two maids, and quickly chased him out.
Yun'er immediately stepped forward to support Feng Ran, and said with concern: "Madam, where are you hurt?" ”
"I'm fine." Feng Ran froze his mind, and his eyes had gone with Jin Sheng.
"That damn thief, he dared to rob openly in broad daylight and ate the bear's heart and leopard gall!" Yun'er rearranged Feng Ran's clothes and spit out.
Rui'er echoed casually: "When the little thief is caught, Madame has to give him some color to see." ”
Feng Ran ignored the two maids and unconsciously stepped forward. In less than a quarter of an hour, Jin Sheng was seen striding back with the back of the thief's robe.
The thief was a little boy, skinny and short, with snot and tears streaming down his dark face. In the early winter, the tattered clothes can still smell a musty and smelly smell.
Jin Sheng threw him to the ground with one flick of his arm.
"If you don't study well at a young age, how can you get it when you grow up?" Jin Sheng crossed his waist and said, "Don't hurry up and make amends to Mrs. Hou!" ”
The little boy curled up stubbornly on the ground without squeaking.
"You little thief, you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, do you? I have to escort you to the county government to convict, do you know that you are afraid? Jin Sheng continued to scare.
The little boy seemed to have heard too much of this kind of rhetoric, and was not at all afraid. Jin Sheng rolled up his sleeves and made a gesture to teach him a lesson. Unexpectedly, the little boy suddenly pounced and bit Jin Sheng's forearm fiercely.
"Ah...... The little rabbit will let me go immediately, otherwise I will really beat you all over the ground looking for teeth! Ahh......h
