Chapter 71 Secrecy

Life is better than that of most farmers.

There's really no need to take the risk of losing your head because of greed.

Moreover, they have names and surnames, and they live in this area, and the nearby villagers also know his family situation, so it is obviously unreasonable to suddenly get rich.

Second, people's hearts are unpredictable, even if they think of a way to find a reasonable explanation for him, but in the face of huge interests, there are still dangerous acts...

Wouldn't he be afraid? Once the trust collapses, maybe he will want to kill his mouth, and then swallow the wealth himself, without knowing it.

Hence all sorts.

Chen Xi didn't plan to tell him, and decided to try to memorize the route of the ghost market, and after getting familiar with it, he would be able to disguise himself and go there to sell things.

If the salt mine was real, she would be able to make a small portion of the salt and sell it slowly, accumulating silver while also ensuring daily expenses, so that they would be much better.

When the third young master can walk out of the East Courtyard, then this hillside will also be theirs, and then cross the bright road and take the official, although he earns less, he will not lose money.

Chen Xi's abacus is very stable, she still chats with Zhang Hansan quietly on her face, and she will try her best to repay the kindness of their father and daughter to her.

It's noon.

Zhang Hansan was going to see if there were any wild things in his sleeve, so Chen Xi couldn't delay, and he taught Song Tao the same simple peach heart knot and left.

She still remembered that when she asked Zhang Hansan to go back to the city to sell prey, she helped her bring some seeds back, and the sincere and enthusiastic man smiled directly and agreed.

Chen Xi thanked him again before leaving, and didn't take the snacks that the father and daughter had pretended.

It's not good to eat white food all the time.

The road conditions are all familiar to me.

Chen Xi hurried to the east courtyard, this time he would pay attention to see if there was anyone over there in advance, for fear that he would bump into the Huang family who suddenly came to patrol in case of emergency.

Even if Zhang Hansan said that no one had come over for several years, he still had to pay attention.

Chen Xi also removed the condom close to the Huang family on the road, for fear that if he was discovered, it would affect Zhang Hansan's father and daughter, after all, they were the only ones nearby.

In the east courtyard, the fish and Linglong were in full swing, and the two of them cleared the land near the small courtyard, and the weeds were thrown aside to dry.

When the time comes, it can also be used to light fires.

Linglong took out the dead branches and leaves that she had collected earlier and continued to dry.

It's going to burn when the time comes.

Fuzhu was working at the gate of the main courtyard with the coat and needlework basket made for the third young master, and stopped by to see if anyone broke in, and if there was a good news, he would report to the little master in the study.

Chen Xi didn't bring mushrooms or firewood this time, only held the bag of materials, and found two large leaves wrapped in salt soil and rocks and came back.

When Fuzhu saw it, he jumped up with something in his arms and shouted happily: "Sister Magpie~"

The sound is slimy and sweet.

Chen Xi began to laugh when he saw her round face, and said, "Hey, see what good things I have found?" By the way, don't block the door and let me go first. ”

Fuzhu hurriedly hugged the things and got out of the way, and came to Chen Xi's side and asked what it was.

"Salt soil, maybe you can make salt, let me try it first."

Chen Xi said and looked up at the sky, she had to hurry up while it was still early.

Fuzhu's eyes widened when he heard this, and he was surprised: "Really? Is it really salt soil? ”

And this kind of thing?

She stuck to Chen Xi's side and exclaimed in surprise, "Didn't the salt come from the sea?" I've heard people say that they are all made by officers and soldiers guarding the sea and sent to various towns and cities! ”

Chen Xi heard that this was just a nonsense and said: "I used to hear the old man talk about the ancients, and I don't know if it's true or not, but today I stumbled upon salt grains in the soil pit and tasted it salty." ”

Fuzhu made a sound of surprise, and couldn't understand why there was salt in the soil.

Chen Xi shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "I don't know, anyway, I've heard such a mouthful, and I'm idle, and I'm idle, I want to say it's good to try it when I think about it." ”

Fuzhu jumped up and down excitedly and said: "Then if it is refined, we are not afraid that the outer courtyard will not send us things, now we can go out, we can still grow things, and we can also earn money, not much worse than outside!" ”

And you don't have to look at people's faces, those masters and grandmothers outside are so frightening.

Fuzhu feels that her life here is very free, and she is not bad.

Chen Xi smiled when he heard this.

I want to say that she is really naΓ―ve.

The current calm is only temporary, and it cannot go on forever.

Even if the eldest lady thinks about trapping the third young master for the rest of her life, she can't settle down, after all, she wants to get back the deed of selling herself and be an upright person.

Chen Xi couldn't understand it.

The eldest lady acquiesced to the people below to bully the third young master, and even added a bit of fuel to the fire, and picked herself cleanly.

But isn't she afraid that he will turn over one day? Are you so confident in yourself?

She wasn't even so ruthless as to get rid of the third young master completely.

Do you take care of the old lady?

Afraid that she will lose her most beloved daughter-in-law and son, if something happens to her grandson again, will the old lady not be able to stand it? That's why you didn't kill the third young master?

Or maybe deliberately mutilating a child's mind in order to seek pleasure?

After all, what a beautiful young master used to be.

Now that you are locked up and suffering, don't you have to endure this sense of disparity?

It's not easy to say that.

Chen Xi sighed.

I thought of him.

The little master came out of the study and walked to the door of the main wing.

There is a courtyard between the two.

Chen Xi smiled at him and said, "How many notes did you write today?" How many books have you read? ”

After laughing, she suddenly remembered something, and smiled awkwardly: "It's over, I just remember asking Uncle Zhang to buy some seeds and come back, and I forgot to ask him to buy you some paper." ”

The little young master didn't expect Chen Xi to really want to buy him paper and ink, and he couldn't help but feel a little awkward when he heard the words, but he really needed to use it, so he said in a shy voice: "Don't worry." ”

Of course, Chen Xi understood that being an official in this year would be superior, so he comforted him and said: "The paper for writing is still in a hurry, and I will take the time to go over again tomorrow." ”

She thought that if the young master was capable enough, he would take the imperial examination in the future, and then he couldn't lose his written score.

If you want to write well, you have to rely on time to practice, so paper is indispensable.

Fuzhu was sour to death when she heard this, but she still held back and didn't speak.

Chen Xi remembered to be serious, and hurriedly asked the little young master to remember to rest and rest, and then turned around and left with Yantu, remembering to let Fuzhu stay to guard the door.

Fuzhu originally wanted to continue to follow Chen Xi, but when she heard this, she could only pout and stay obediently.

Chen Xi patted her little head comfortingly and said, "Obedient, when this thing can be done, we will have silver money when we turn back, and I will buy you delicious food when the time comes." ”

Fuzhu's little temper comes and goes quickly, and he is easily coaxed by Chen Xi.
