The person who came was forty years old, wearing a moon-white brocade robe, and wearing a vest on his upper body (the Manchu waistcoat was developed from Mongolia, not a clerical error), and his appearance was very ordinary, and he belonged to the type that he might not be able to find in the crowd no matter how many times he saw it.

Seeing that Sun Xiu's face was unhappy, the person who came was not panicked, smiled slightly, and said while reaching into his arms and groping: "The villain knows that his father-in-law is afraid that outsiders will know about our relationship, but the incident happened suddenly, and we can't help it," said the hand has been taken out of his arms, holding a silver ticket and handing it to Sun Xiu: "This is 100,000 taels, after today, the villain just received the master's flying pigeon hand, I hope that the father-in-law will help me again, after the matter is completed, there is a heavy thank you......"

"What's the busy?" Sun Xiu took the silver ticket, and saw that it was the leading silver ticket of the Beijing Huiyuan ticket number, and when he saw that the ticket had been redeemed, it was indeed 100,000 taels, and his face suddenly relaxed.

"I heard that Jinshang intends to send troops to Liaodong, and those leaflets from the previous time don't seem to have much effect, so the master begs his father-in-law to think of a way again, and it is best to change his mind today...... I really can't do it, I can delay it a little longer. The middle-aged man said, seeing Sun Xiu's hesitant expression, he hurriedly said: "Don't be embarrassed by your father-in-law, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and if you can not fight, it will be beneficial to the people on both sides...... Besides, you can still get silver, such a thing of fame and fortune......"

Sun Xiu interrupted the other party and said: "The key Long Live Lord's temper is too strong, once the matter is determined, the nine cows can't pull it back, and it is difficult to persuade him to change his mind!" ”

The middle-aged man nodded: "Today's character villain has also heard of it, and it is really not easy to change his mind, but can we think of other ways, for example, it's almost the New Year, you have to set off fireworks, and then you don't pay attention to it......" Speaking of this, he didn't say anything, only blinked at Sun Xiu.

Sun Xiu frowned: "What do you mean......?" A fire in the palace? ”

"Father-in-law is clever!" The middle-aged man gave Sun Xiu a thumbs up: "You said, if the Fengxian Hall catches fire, what will the civil and military officials think?" What will the people of Beijing think? ”

Fengxian Hall is a family temple dedicated to the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, if it is on fire......?

Sun Xiu imagined that scene, and suddenly shuddered, and couldn't help but shudder, his head shook like a rattle: "No, no, no, find out, our family has to be punished by the nine clans!" ”

"What if you can't find out?" The middle-aged man asked rhetorically, and then smiled: "The master said that if this matter is successful, he will definitely offer another 500,000 taels of silver...... 600,000 taels before and after, it's almost enough to build another Fengxian Palace......"

"Really give another 500,000 taels?" Sun Xiu's heart was pounding, and she couldn't help but interrupt the other party.

The middle-aged man nodded: "If the father-in-law doesn't believe it, tomorrow Fuyuanju, the villain will send half of it first!" ”

"Okay, that's it!" Sun Xiuyi gritted his teeth and clenched his fists hard.

The widow's house of the king of Hongmen Village.

Caiyu doesn't know how to cook, just lighting the stove for a long time, and the little face smoked like a cat, the sister-in-law who stepped into the door at dusk saw it, and immediately sneered: "The eldest lady of the good slave, why is it smoked like this?" Hurry up, let the slave come and ......"

Caiyu got up and stepped aside, and said quite embarrassedly: "Let's see that you won't come back so late, thinking about letting you have a ready-made meal...... Is it easy to see you on weekdays lighting a fire, who knows ......? ”

"Silly girl," after living for a long time, Sister-in-law Wang has lost her initial politeness to Caiyu, and let go of her speech, but is much more kind: "The stove fire is not burned like this, there is too much firewood stuffed, and it is not ventilated, what's the matter!" As he spoke, he pulled out more than half of the firewood from the stove, shook the rest, and bent down to pout and blew lightly twice, and then he heard a whirl, and the flame was ignited from the smoke, and the smoke was gone, and the fire burned the bottom of the pot, and the water in it soon sounded.

There were rolled out noodles on the board next to it, and Wang's sister-in-law stretched it, but there was no strength at all, knowing that there was too much colored jade water, she hurriedly sent a handful of firewood to the stove, washed her hands, kneaded the noodles into a ball, and added some white noodles to re-reconcile them......

Caiyu watched Sister-in-law Wang busy, squatting to learn from Sister-in-law's appearance, and then when sending firewood to the stove, she sent it less frequently, and picked it up with a burning stick from time to time, and sure enough, there was no smoke again, and the flame was quite strong, and she couldn't help but show a happy smile.

"The girl is so smart!" Seeing that the water in the pot was boiling, Sister-in-law Wang praised Caiyu, suddenly remembered something, and said while putting the pulled dough into the pot: "By the way, a few men came to the village today to inquire about a girl in rags...... It can't be asking you, is it? ”

Caiyu Huo Ran changed color: "You haven't told anyone about what we're doing here, have you?" ”

Sister-in-law Wang heard Caiyu ask, and immediately understood that she had guessed well, and her face became solemn: "You came to the slave house before dawn, no one should see it, and no outsiders have come to the family these days, except for telling Xiao Chen's father-in-law, the slave family has never mentioned it to others......"

"That's good!" Caiyu was slightly relieved and nodded: "Don't tell anyone...... Are those men still in the village? ”

Sister-in-law Wang shook her head: "It's gone...... Who are they, the girl's family? ”

"Sort of...... Don't talk about them anymore! Caiyu didn't seem to want to mention this, so she didn't care about the stove fire, and got up and went back to the back room.

"I don't know how your brother bullied you, how did the family get like this?" Sister-in-law Wang muttered to herself, and she couldn't think of what kind of experience it was that made Caiyu hate her home so much.

The Chinese New Year is about to begin, Wang's sister-in-law recently got seven taels of silver, generous, cut two catties of meat, and bought some yellow sauce, watching the noodles cooked, after the pot, cut the meat and fried some yellow sauce, poured on the filled noodles, smelled the aroma, and then was satisfied with the back room, Chong Kang looked at the oil lamp in a daze Caiyu said: "Don't think about it, you live here with your sister, you can rest assured, if your sister eats, you will have half of you...... If you're hungry, eat it quickly, it's not good if it's cold. ”

"Sister, thank you!" Caiyu felt a strong affection from Sister-in-law Wang's words, her nose was sour, and she almost burst into tears: "How good would it be for us to have a sister like you?" ”

"Silly girl, as long as you don't dislike the slave family, the slave family is your own sister...... Okay, let's eat quickly, the slave family has to go out after eating, and the balloon is almost finished...... Xiao Chen's father-in-law is benevolent and righteous, let's rush to work overnight, hurry up and finish it for him, and he is always worried. ”

Caiyu wiped her eyes, gulped down the noodles in the bowl, and asked vaguely: "Sister, you say, that Chen Mo has spent so much time tossing, can this big Kong Ming lantern really bring people to the sky?" ”
