Chapter 59: The Knot

Hearing this, Liu was stunned, and Chu Tianbao and Chu Xinping on the side were also stunned.

Chu Xinping swallowed her saliva and said timidly: "Dad, what do you mean by this, we, can we still go back?"

Staying here for three months has worn out all her sharpness, and she is even thinking that if the Liu family doesn't go to Chu Xinyun's trouble, then they can still live in Chujia Village without being sent to this dilapidated place where birds don't.

When she came, she was proud, because she was more beautiful than any woman here, and the good food and drink on the way here made her whole person plump up a lot, and she looked more complex.

But when the man disappeared, she panicked, for she knew that she was going to be a woman like them.

She has completely changed her appearance after three months of exposure to the wind and sun, her skin is dark and rough, not to mention Chu Xinyun at this moment, even she herself does not dare to look in the mirror.

But now her silent father actually talked about going back, which instantly rekindled a spark in her originally extinguished heart.

Chu Dacang rubbed her yellow and dry hair distressedly, and said in a low voice: "The young adult who sent sweet potatoes this time is from the capital, if we can get in touch with him, then the day when we leave here is just around the corner!"

When Chu Tianbao heard this, he immediately came to his senses and asked, "Dad, what are you going to do?" If there's anything you want me to help with, just say it!"

He really couldn't stand this place, and as soon as he heard that there was a chance to leave, he immediately went up to ask, for fear that he would miss any details.

Chu Okang's plan is actually very simple, didn't the official say that during the day today, he would go door-to-door to inspect the seedling situation in the next few days? When the time comes, he will serve some good wine and food to get closer, which official doesn't like to be slapped on the back?

"Anyway, you all give me some peace these days, and when that adult comes, give me a little cleverness, if you can't seize this opportunity, then you can wait to stay in this ghost place for the rest of your life!"

The two brothers and sisters who have suffered a lot are naturally unwilling, as soon as they heard that the person was from the capital, their eyes showed their desire for the capital, to know that it was where the emperor lived, I heard that the noble girl in the capital was a hundred taels of silver for any piece of clothing, and a piece of jewelry was easy to do two, and all kinds of gems were priceless....

Thinking of this, the yearning in Chu Xinping's heart became even stronger!

She even thought that if she could marry the adult from the capital, wouldn't it be a time to enjoy the glory and wealth casually?

This thought took root in her heart like a weed, and for a moment she looked at the humble food on the table and suddenly lost her appetite.

When I became a big official in the future, my wife ate all the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, where is there still these simple food?

And Chu Tianbao also had the same idea, thinking about it, he laughed obscenely.

On the contrary, Liu Shi, who was sitting in the corner, ate the meal and was silent, since she was almost suspended by Chu Tiancang that day, she knew that she couldn't mess around anymore, if he was willing to protect himself when he was rich before, but now that food and clothing are a problem, I am afraid that she has no right to mess around.

And her intuition told her that it was unlikely that Chu Dacang's plan would succeed this time.

For several days in a row, Chu Dacang was tea and dinner every day, and he didn't think about when the adult would come to check, obviously the next door had been checked, and he was not far here, why hadn't he come yet.......

Just when he was anxious, Chu Tianbao, who was excited, ran over: "Dad, here, here!" When I came back, I saw that lord coming this way!"

Chu Dacang was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Then hurry up and move all the things out!"

"Okay!"

In the past few days, Xiao Wu has been lingering in the people's homes, and everyone has done according to his method, except for one or two households, the rest have basically sprouted, and some of the ones that have grown better have begun to sprout green leaves.

After the last inspection, he came to this house closely, and it is said that his surname is Chu.

He still wanted to laugh when he saw the names on the list, it was really a coincidence that there were people with the same surname as Miss Chu in this place......

This thought didn't go on for long, and he saw Chu Dacang and Chu Tianbao standing at the door with a smile on their faces.

Seeing these two familiar faces, he was stunned for a moment, he remembered that some time ago, Xiao Si was sent to do a mission, and it was said that he was sending someone to the north. Could it be them?!

Xiao Wu pretended not to care and approached and asked, "How is the planting situation in the past few days?" Could there be any problems?"

Chu Dacang hurriedly said: "There is no problem, it is all done according to what the adults say." ”

"Well, take me to see it."

"Yes, my lord, please."

Sweet potato seedlings need sufficient water and light, Xiao Wu walked in and found that the sweet potato seedlings taken care of by Chu Dacang were very good, and he could see that he was careful.

"Yes, pay more attention to the sun exposure these days, don't wilt."

"Yes, yes!" Chu Dacang naturally agreed, and said flatteringly: "My lord, you have been running back and forth very hard, and now it's almost time to eat, so it's better to have a meal here." ”

Xiao Wu raised his eyebrows and looked at the sun that was not yet noon, and felt for a moment that this guy's kung fu of speaking in the vernacular with his eyes open was quite powerful.

He wanted to refuse, but thinking that this guy wouldn't look for himself for no reason, it was better to get to the bottom of it first to see what he was thinking.

Then he nodded pretendedly: "It's very hard, I didn't eat the urgent breakfast that day." ”

"Isn't this a coincidence, my lord, please come here, the dogs have already prepared some homely meals, and please don't dislike them."

The two of them walked into the house with their own ghosts, in order to achieve their goals, this Chu Dacang was laborious and expensive, and the dishes they bought were all kinds of meat that were difficult for the people here to eat all year round, and they also bought a jar of good wine.

"Your Excellency, you're welcome, please take a seat!"

Don't eat for nothing, Xiao Wu didn't politely do it, and ate happily, Chu Dacang asked tentatively while pouring him wine: "I heard that the adults are from the capital?"

Xiao Wu ate meat in his mouth and said vaguely: "Yes, I am tired to death from running all the way." ”

Chu Dacang narrowed his eyes, stopped mentioning the matter, and continued to beckon him to drink and eat meat.

After a few glasses of wine, Chu Dacang saw that his face was a little flushed, and continued to inquire: "I heard that this sweet potato is only available in Qingshui Town, I don't know if you know a little lady surnamed Chu?"

"Don't hide it from my lord, this daughter is my niece, I haven't greeted her when I came to the north this time, I don't know if the adult can take me and others when he goes back, and I don't want her to worry!"

Xiao Wuyi knew what this guy wanted to do when he heard it, and he didn't want to stay in the north anymore.

Also, although Qingshui Town is located in a remote area, it is at least not as smooth as one percent of the poor in this desert city, Xiao Wu couldn't help but sneer after hearing this, but is this what he can come and leave as soon as he wants?

If he didn't know, maybe he would be kind enough to see him so good, but he knew exactly what kind of goods this Chu Dacang family was, not to mention how to treat the boss, just humiliating Miss Chu was a dead end.

What's more, Miss Chu is now the boss's treasure, no matter who else comes, it won't work.

His thoughts turned slightly, and then he showed a trace of doubt: "What Qingshui Town, this sweet potato was brought by a merchant who came to the capital, and it was almost not caught as a demon when it was blown into the sky, and after investigation, it was learned that this thing can be planted in arid areas, so I thought about sending it to Mocheng to see if it could be done." ”

"I haven't heard of that Qingshui Town you are talking about."

"No. Not from Clearwater?" Chu Dacang was sorry and looked at Chu Tianbao on the side, the latter was also puzzled, he remembered that he sneaked into Chu Xinyun's house at that time and found this thing!

He still remembers that he took a bite at that time, and the taste was exactly the same, and it was definitely this thing!

After Chu Dacang learned that this person was not from Qingshui Town at all, the smile on his face couldn't hold it, but Chu Xinyun, who was in the side room, secretly leaned on the front door and eavesdropped, and after hearing that this person was from the capital, his heart was even more moving.

In the afternoon, Chu Dacang sent away Xiao Wu, who was full of food and drink, and sat in the yard smoking dry tobacco with a sad face, Chu Xinping saw this and hurriedly came up and said, "Dad, this person is not from Qingshui Town?"

"Go, go!"

Chu Dacang was upset at the moment, and unceremoniously drove away: "Are you done today's work?" If not, go quickly!"

Chu Xinping was a little aggrieved: "Dad, what is there to return to this Qingshui Town, this adult said that he is a person from the capital, and he can also do things for the emperor, then he must be a very big official, if we can follow him back to the capital at that time..."

Chu Xinping's words seemed to open up his brain in an instant, and he thought about it, yes, where is the capital from this Qingshui Town?

If he can really move to the capital to live, then who will tell him that he was kicked out?

When the time comes, it will be too late for the villagers to stammer!

Thinking of this, Chu Dacang almost laughed, but he quickly realized that even if he followed that adult to the capital, his family would have to eat and live, and now this worthless person would probably not be able to survive even if he went to the capital.

He couldn't help but sigh: "Although that's true, how can we survive in the capital now that we have no money and no house?"

Chu Xinping said with relief: "Dad, I think that adult is very young, and he doesn't seem to be a family, if I can marry him, then won't this problem be solved?"

"Even if he is a bastard, he won't ignore his wife and father-in-law, right? Even if we go to the capital, we will be reasonable!"

Chu Dacang's eyes lit up suddenly, how could he forget that his little daughter had never promised to marry someone, if he could marry her to that adult, wouldn't it be inexhaustible in glory and wealth at that time?

He looked at Chu Xinping's eyes with a little complicated: "Ping'er, my father doesn't force this matter, if you don't want your father to find another way......

Chu Xinping shook his head and said: "Dad, this matter is of my own volition, since that lord can do things for the emperor, then he is naturally a high-ranking official, I marry him better than marry those landlords in the countryside, right?" At that time, I will be a powerful official wife, and you and your mother will be happy, and you don't have to work so hard. ”

Hearing her say this, Chu Dacang was very pleased, and said in his heart that this daughter was not raised in vain, and this plan that came in handy at this critical moment was initially formed, if he came directly to the door with their identity, it was estimated that he would be directly blasted out, but if he changed his way to let this adult accidentally take Ping'er's innocence, even if the people of this desert city were fierce and open, they would not tolerate this kind of thing.

It would be nice if the adult was willing to take responsibility, but if he didn't, he would have a way to force him to agree.
