Chapter Twenty-Nine: The County Order Strikes
After Qi Lichen went out, time seemed to pass longer than before, and it was clear that he was doing similar things every day, and Xi Duyun always felt that time passed very slowly. I cleaned the house inside and out, thinking that the sun should set, and when I looked up, it was noon.
As Qi Lichen left, Bai Ye disappeared, and I don't know if I went to Beijing together to study at a scholar's house.
The days are boring, but they are quite stable, and Aunt Liu is quite business-minded and handles the affairs of the store in an orderly manner.
Li Ning hid Xi Duyun to take care of and supervise the manufacture of Quyuan plows, and by the way, he "intentionally or unintentionally" mentioned in front of people that Xi Duyun, who had great kindness to them, opened a shop in the county, and the sweets and juices he sold were all good.
As a result, the sales of goods in Xi Duyun's store skyrocketed, and the supply exceeded demand for a while. Xi Duyun had already thought of this festival, and when she bought the store, she took a fancy to a small workshop connected to the back of the store.
When the customer reaches a certain scale, the operation of the workshop will be opened, which is divided into three sections, various colors of brown sugar production, sugarcane juice, rock sugar gourd, and the sugarcane is sold directly without much effort.
The store began to become famous in the county, and it was not possible to do it without a name, so after thinking about it, Xi Duyun decided on the word "Sugar Heart Pavilion".
In less than a month, Tangxin Pavilion has reached the point of becoming a household name in the county, and Xi Duyun's industry is thriving in the county, and the silver flows into her pocket every day, which is enviable.
However, this eye-catching rich master is eating salt-steamed taro in the yard with Erlang's legs crossed, so unhappy.
It is not easy for Xi Duyun to take care of the twenty acres of land alone, and the shops on the other side of the city have to be taken care of every day, so he simply hires someone to help.
Now Xi Duyun is a comfortable farmer, and the point is to have time to spend with Xi Duyu.
A few days ago, Xi Duyun cut down a tree from the mountain and dragged it down, expanded the wall, doubled the width of the yard, surrounded the ginkgo tree in the courtyard wall, and built a small swing under the ginkgo tree, Xi Duyu could also entertain herself when she was not at home.
No one spoke, and the days were quieter, but they were good. Xi Duyun chewed on the newly made dried sweet potatoes, shook his head with his hands around his chest, and made it sweet. It's just that Xi Duyu is sweet and has to look at her next time, so she can't let her eat her teeth.
"Xi girl! Big things are wrong! The familiar words exploded outside the courtyard gate, and Xi Duyun was stunned for a moment, it was the voice of the village chief's daughter, Liu Yun.
"What's the matter? I don't seem to be in trouble. Xi Duyun thought about it carefully, he really didn't plan anything recently.
Shouldn't it be...... What went wrong with the Quyuan plow? Xi Duyun chuckled in her heart, wiped her hands and pulled the door open.
"Naturally, you didn't do anything, it's a county order! The county order wants to demolish the residence of Qi Juren, and no one dares to stop us, so go over and take a look! As soon as the door opened, Xi Duyun was grabbed by the outstretched hand of the village chief's daughter, and was led all the way to run.
The official level crushed people to death, not to mention the county order, for the villagers, it was the big man who couldn't be provoked. No one dared to stop it, but they couldn't watch the place where Qi Lichen lived being pushed like this.
Although the village chief sent someone to find Xi Duyun, Qi Lichen's residence had already been pushed in half by the time the people arrived.
The heavy stone hammer struck the heavy earthen wall, but a hole broke in the earthen wall, and the villagers couldn't bear to cover their eyes.
A middle-aged man was sitting on the side, and there was a servant handing over fruit and tea on the side. A cold light flashed in Xi Duyun's eyes, and she was about to go up, theorizing that someone suddenly grabbed Xi Duyun and took her away from the crowd.
"Xi girl! Think about what to do...... Ah, people! It was still here! Liu Yun turned his head, and there was still Xi Duyun's figure behind him. Xi Duyu was dragged by the sleeves and pulled all the way away from Qi Lichen's residence.
It wasn't until the noise behind him couldn't be heard that the man let go of Xi Duyun, who glanced at the white clothes on the person who came from top to bottom, then looked at his wrinkled sleeves, and said in amazement: "White Night, how could it be you?" ”
Bai Ye wiped the hand that touched Xi Duyun's sleeve with a handkerchief, and said without changing his face: "If it weren't for me, you would have to die there." ”
As a senior cleanliness patient, Xi Duyun thought that she already loved cleanliness very much, and it was good that she didn't dislike others, Bai Ye's behavior was tantamount to shame in Xi Duyun's eyes, and Xi Duyun sighed: "My sleeves are very unclean?" ”
Her clothes are soaked in soap water once a day, and then carefully washed to disinfect and sterilize.
Bai Ye took the handkerchief into his arms, paused when he heard the words, shook his head and smiled: "Life-saving move, don't mind the girl." ”
A cold gaze appeared in Bai Ye's mind, and Bai Ye shuddered, he didn't want to be questioned by the pavilion master in a weird way.
Xi Duyun was surrounded by Bai Ye's words, and there was a sound of collapse in the distance, and Xi Duiyun's heart trembled.
"No, your friend's house was smashed, why are you so calm."
Xi Duyun pointed in the direction of Qi Lichen's house, Bai Ye glanced over there, just one glance, and it was gone. It's not so much calm as it doesn't matter.
"The county order is menacing, what can you and I do, now it's just the house, you and I go up to make a fuss, Gongzi Mo said it was a house, I'm afraid that even the qualification for the scientific examination will be lost, don't worry, he won't be proud for long."
Bai Ye's tone was infiltrating with coldness, and Xi Duyun shook his head, not noticing that Bai Ye's tone was not good.
"What do you mean by what you just said? What if I went up and stopped the county order, so many people watched, what else could he do to me. People like them should not be as knowledgeable as a mountain villager like me. ”
Don't look at the official position of the county order, Xi Duyun heard that this county order is very pretentious, and he can't look down on ordinary people.
Even if Xi Duyun's three-inch incorruptible tongue can't say the county order, he will let Xi Duyun expel at most.
Bai Ye glanced at Xi Duyun with strange eyes, as if to say: Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid.
However, Xi Duyun stared at Bai Ye with those inquisitive eyes, and really didn't understand the meaning of Ye's words.
"Have you not forgotten that the prince was invited to attend the banquet set up by the county order, and at the banquet, he rejected the marriage specified by the county order in public, on the grounds that there was already a marriage match, which can be said to be a face of the county order in front of people."
Bai Ye exhaled speechlessly, if Xi Duyun was an ordinary woman, she had nothing to do with Qi Lichen, and in the past, she was just pushed away and driven away, and the relationship between Qi Lichen's wife who had not passed through the door was very different.
The county order loves his daughter very much, and Qi Lichen has a lot of grievances against him, and he finally can't help but come angrily today.
Most of them wanted to make Qi Lichen ugly, out of the original tone, and didn't want Qi Lichen to be there, so they didn't want to let Qi Lichen's residence be demolished. Xi Duyun passed, and it didn't just hit the muzzle of the gun.
"That's what happened!" Xi Duyun patted his head, and then remembered that there was such a stubble. sighs that this county order is still an out-and-out daughter slave, just for this marriage to make such a fuss, the twisted melon has to be unscrewed off if it is not sweet?
"Exactly." Bai Ye resisted the urge to roll her eyes and waved her hand at Xi Duyun, "Girl, let's go back, there's nothing wrong here." ”
Xi Duyun was very desperate for her life, and Bai Ye had just mentioned it, so she naturally knew that she should avoid it.
"Oh, then I'm leaving." Xi Duyun simply clapped her hands neatly and turned around to leave, without dragging her feet in the slightest.
Bai Ye's face twitched, it was really as the pavilion master said, he was a person who simply understood, which really made people cry and laugh.
At night, the singing and dancing of the flower building is leveled, and the sound of silk and bamboo, arrogant laughter is continuous, sometimes mixed with the sound of red-faced. There are people coming and going in the lobby, some people raise glasses to drink, some people are beautiful people in their arms, and they are so unhappy.
However, no matter what kind of movement, it can't reach the top floor of the flower building. The vast study room was brightly lit, and Qi Lichen was leaning on a wooden chair in a dark robe, holding a letter in his hand and reading it, which was a reply from his mentor.
After deciding to promote Qu Yuanli, Qi Lichen wrote a letter to inform his mentor of the matter, and the mentor praised Xi Duyun for her courage and strategy in his reply, which was really a strange woman, and the words revealed her curiosity about Xi Duyun.
"Pavilion Master, the White Protector is back." Luo Qing'er's voice sounded from outside the door.
Qi Lichen raised his eyes and glanced outside the door, and put the letter in his hand in the stove beside him.
The paper caught fire and turned to ashes in the blink of an eye.
