"Who said that what you know is useless, it's just that your body is just right and I don't dare to let you work too hard. Otherwise, this operation will be of great use, as for the village, there is only such a little food at the moment, once the heavy snow closes the road, the outside grain cannot be transported in, and the people inside cannot get out, in order to ensure continuous pause, it has to be calculated. I'm catching ducks on the shelves now, if Mrs. Qian is willing to make a move, it will be much easier, I don't know if there is this blessing. ”

"Thank you." Zhu Xiuchang lowered her head and smiled, and the room was warm.

Since that day, Zhu Xiuchang, accompanied by two palace maids, began to plan and dispatch the materials of the entire village. She has prestige, means, and mastery, and under her control, the utilization rate of materials in the entire village has been increased to the limit.

The people in the village may have some discussion about the relationship between her and Yang Chengzu, but everyone is a tenant of the palace, and they all know that Mrs. Qian is a good friend of the county lord of the palace, and she is also half of her own master, so she doesn't dare to discuss anything with her. There may be some short-term things behind the scenes, but in the face of this overall situation, no one dares to publicly stand up and accuse.

The house was re-strengthened to ensure that it would not be crushed by the heavy snow, and Yang Chengzu led people to set up some traps, hoping to catch as many unlucky beasts as possible and get more food for the villagers. Just before their trap could play any role, a heavy snow that Anlu hadn't seen for many years fell from the sky, turning the entire Niangniang Village into a silver world.

In the room, the stove is blazing, and the chimney invented by Yang Chengzu after crossing has been widely circulated in Anlu, and these things have also been installed in this small mountain village. Just like his previous invention of the tin horn and the separation of the stove, he did not expect these small inventions to change anything, but only to make life more comfortable.

Zhu Xiuchang was playing a game called backgammon with him with great interest, holding her cheeks in her jade hands, combing her hair in a sloppy bun, and standing crookedly on her head. The body is still wearing the cotton jacket often worn by the women in the village, and the figure is relatively bloated, not as noble and graceful as in the past, but it is difficult to hide its color. The two girls are waiting beside them, although there are no snacks to eat, but there are still a lot of tea leaves in this village, and it is no problem to get some good tea.

When the son fell, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he suddenly said: "This chess hand is not good, I want to regret it." As he spoke, he was about to get the chess pieces, but he didn't want Yang Chengzu to reach out and grab her hand, "If you don't raise your hand and don't return to your husband, why do you still regret the chess?" ”

Zhu Xiuchang did not have any resistance or shyness at this time because of the closeness of the two, but played coquettishly and said, "I am not a big husband, I am a woman, and I will regret playing chess if I want to." You let go of your hand and let me take it back. ”

"Don't dream, I originally taught you this backgammon, but now, it's harder to win a game than to ascend to the sky. Let's just say that in the past two days, if I lose once, I have to sing a part for you, how many times have I sung it. It's rare that you make a mistake once, and there is no way to regret chess, so you should sing it to me once, just that Fengyang flower drum, I think it's good. Knowing books and paintings, don't you say? ”

This kind of play between the two has been many times, and the two girls have been surprised at the beginning, and now they are accustomed to it, and they are not strange. They are subordinates, as long as they do what their master tells them, and the others don't want to participate more, they just hide their mouths and snicker.

The two quarreled for a while, and Zhu Xiuchang withdrew her hand, "You practice knives and boxing for them every day these days, what are you trying to do?" These villagers are not soldiers in your honor guard division, you can't train them, could it be that you have taken a fancy to some big girl or little daughter-in-law in the village, and you want to hook their hearts by practicing martial arts? If that's the case, you don't have to work so hard, the people in this village are my tenants, and I can take back their land with just one word, and make them lose their livelihood. So whoever you fancy just say, Mrs. Ben will arrange it for you. ”

"A group of village girls, what is there to see, the best is in front of my eyes, and the rest, I can't see it." Yang Chengzu stretched his waist, pointed to Zhishu Zhihua and said, "I'm mainly for the two girls." They're too outstanding. The women of this village could not be compared to them. As for you, they don't dare to get close to you at all, they all treat you as a god, and no one treats you as a woman, so they won't have any bad intentions. But it's hard to say about them, they are young and handsome, and it is inevitable that those young men will itch in their hearts. These days, there are always some young men who try their best to come over, and there are people who secretly deliver things, aren't they? ”

Zhu Xiuchang sank her face, turned her head to stare at the two girls and said, "Is what Yang Yizheng said true, you have a man outside?" ”

The two girls were frightened, and they knelt down on the ground and said: "Madame spare her life, there is absolutely no such thing, the slave and maid guarantee their lives, and they will never dare to break the rules of the house." If the slave or maid did such a thing, she would rather die. ”

This kind of girl who knows books and paintings has no power of her own, and if she finds a man privately, according to the family rules, she can be executed. Zhu Xiuchang snorted, "I didn't expect that the people in this village would dare to fight this idea, and they didn't look at their identity, the people around Mrs. Ben were also what they could remember?" The girls in my house, they are also worthy? ”

Yang Chengzu said: "They naturally don't dare to do this on weekdays, but don't we live together now, far is slow, and close is not inferior." Now is the time to be inferior, they feel that everyone has been together, and they have been together for a long time, and they also feel that they are not so unattainable. Anyway, it's also a maid, and it's not impossible to think that she can be a daughter-in-law. This is actually good, the most afraid is those second-rate people in the village, or local gangsters, who will kick the widow's door or jump over the wall if they have nothing to do, and they will naturally be tempted by the two of them. It's inevitable that you don't move a little bad and think about bargaining. ”

"In that case, then you can take the two of them tonight." Zhu Xiuchang waved her hand, "You didn't bring a female dependent, and these days are also very bitter, you men, you can't have a woman with warm feet by your side." These two girls are also taught by me, and they are quite well-behaved and obedient, and from today onwards, they will be your people. With this status, it also saves others from worrying about it anymore. ”

This kind of arrangement does not need to ask the parties themselves, or in other words, these two palace maids are just part of Zhu Xiuchang's industry, and they can send furniture to whoever they want. Yang Chengzu said: "I'm not telling you this, I don't lack women to warm my feet." Whether I practice kung fu or boxing now, I am boasting about my strength in this way and cutting off their unreliable thoughts. Not afraid of thieves stealing, only afraid of thieves, as long as they can't afford those thieves, they are not afraid. ”

He glanced out the window, "It's so snowy, it seems that it's really a heavy snow that I haven't seen for many years, and it's hard for us to look back." Even if they pull the treasure out now, I'm afraid they won't be able to enter the village, and we will have to stay here for a while. ”
