"Sister Zhong Ling, why are you here? I'm fine, it's fine, come on in. ”

Seeing the visitor, Bai Jinli invited her to the house with a look of surprise.

"Jinli, your house is really hard to find, I asked several people and finally didn't find the wrong door. Hey, what are you guys doing here? ”

Looking at the busy Tu family and others in the courtyard, Zhong Ling asked very curiously.

"I plan to open a store selling snacks in the county, and before the façade is renovated, I will make some preserved fruits by myself, and then I can directly open the store."

"Really? When it opens, remember to let me know when the time comes, and I will definitely come over to cheer. Zhong Ling said with a smile.

"Okay, that's nature, Sister Zhong Ling, sit down, I'll make you tea."

Soon, Bai Jinli brought out a pot of tea from the house.

poured a cup of tea and handed it to Mrs. Zhong Ling, who suddenly asked after taking a sip.

"What kind of tea are you? It's so refreshing to drink it! ”

"It's just green tea bought casually in the county, and it's better to drink it in summer to relieve the heat." Bai Jinli smiled faintly.

"Green tea is slightly bitter, how can I taste that your tea is not the same as ordinary tea? Where did you buy it? I'll buy some with me when I go back later. ”

Zhong Ling's lady drinks tea in her leisure time on weekdays, but she has never seen this kind of drink that can make people immediately eliminate fatigue and hardship, and she is instantly interested.

"If Sister Zhong Ling likes it, just bring some back later." Bai Jinli spoke.

Her tea is bought casually in the county, and it is not a precious and good tea.

The reason why Zhong Ling Lady thinks it is good is probably because her tea is space water.

"Okay, I'm not going to be polite to you." Zhong Ling's lady smiled happily.

"Sister Zhong Ling, why do you want to see me? You're welcome. ”

"Jinli, there was an accident in your village last night, are you really okay? I heard my young master say that the situation at that time was terrifying, but fortunately you were not in danger.

These are some soothing tonics, and you should definitely remember to drink them. ”

After Mrs. Zhong Ling finished speaking, she saw that the little guy who helped her drive brought a lot of things from the carriage outside.

For example, ginseng, deer antler velvet, etc......

"Thank you Sister Zhong Ling for your concern, I'm fine, these things are so precious, I don't need them."

Bai Jinli looked at the gift and couldn't help refusing.

Not to mention other things, just that ginseng, it looks like it has a hundred years of history, and it won't be too cheap.

She's not sick or sick, is it really good to hold such a valuable thing?

"Jinli, I just said that I can't see outside. Hurry up and take it, it's not a valuable thing. Zhong Ling's lady was angry.

"Then thank you Sister Zhong Ling." Bai Jinli nodded and took those things.

"That's pretty much it. By the way, Jinli, I have something to tell you. My young master planned to send Qin Wu to study, and he also sent someone to take care of him. ”

"Qin Wu? Are you talking about the kid who got it back? Bai Jinli asked.

"Yes, didn't you ask my young master to help you find Qin Wu's news before? Who knew that someone found it one step ahead of my young master.

My young master felt that he had not done the things you had explained, and after communicating with Qin Wu, he heard that he wanted to study, so he planned to send him there, and he also personally selected someone to take care of him, you can rest assured. ”

"Did he speak? How is it now? Bai Jinli was very happy when she heard the news.

"Well, how can we tell him, he didn't speak, and he didn't know what the young master told him, so he was taken out of the house by my young master's hand, and he took the initiative to say that he wanted to study."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhong Ling was still a little depressed.

Anyway, she also took care of the child for a while, but she didn't know that the child was so close to his young master.

"That's good, it's bothering your young master a lot."

"Out of the way. And one more news, have you heard? Zhong Ling continued to speak.

"Well, what's wrong?"

"I heard that in addition to your village last night, there was also a nearby village called Sanhuang Village that was also attacked by bandits."

"What? Sanhuang Village also suffered from bandits? How's it going? Bai Jinli instantly became nervous.

"Well, those bandits went down the mountain in two groups, one wave went to Sanhuang Village to loot grain, and one wave came to your village.

I heard that Sanhuang Village had arranged for villagers to patrol every day, so I reported it to the police in time after discovering that something was wrong. They should be hiding, nothing serious, you don't have to worry. ”

"Anyway, my young master said that the current bandits have been wiped out, and they won't toss everyone in the future, which is a good thing."

Bai Jinli also nodded, why didn't Zhong Lingniang say that?

The locust plague has made people's lives very difficult, and the appearance of bandits is even more head-wrenching, but fortunately everything has passed.

"Sister Zhong Ling, most of the places here have been plagued by locusts, so there is no news from above? I've heard that taxes are going to be collected. ”

Zhong Ling frowned slightly after listening to Bai Jinli's words, and then spoke very firmly.

"No, it won't. You wait and see, at the sleast five days, there will be a tax reduction for this year. Taxes now? Someone must have done it on purpose, don't worry, someone will take care of it. ”

"That's good." Bai Jinli couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw her tone firm.

"By the way, your sister-in-law isn't at home, right? Her embroidery is so good, I've always been curious to see her. ”

"No, my sister-in-law is in another house, she should be busy at this time, and we can see her when we go back together in a while."

"It's okay, I'll just say it casually, I'll always have a chance to meet in the future. Don't worry about the fan, when the embroidery is finished and when it will be delivered. Zhong Ling shook her head.

"Okay."

The two of them sat and talked for a while, and Mrs. Zhong Ling offered her farewell.

Bai Jinli didn't leave her behind, wrapped the tea she bought, picked some fresh vegetables from the backyard and loaded them for her, and personally watched her carriage leave, and then went back to the house.

"Aunt Tu, don't worry, the court will not collect taxes too much when they see that we have suffered a natural disaster."

"Really?" After listening to Bai Jinli's words, Tu Shi suddenly felt a lightness in his heart.

"Hmm."

Sure enough, three days later, news came from the capital, the emperor was sympathetic, thinking that the people here had suffered a natural disaster and were exempted from paying taxes for one year.

At the same time, the official who had collected taxes in a nearby village three days ago was dismissed, and the county magistrate of Qinglin County was rewarded from above for his honest and honest officials and for his meritorious service in helping to suppress bandits.

As soon as this news came out, the gloom on the faces of the people in the village was also a little less.

But there are still people who buy and sell their daughters because their families are poor.

Early this morning, there was news that the old Zhang family sold their daughter-in-law Wang and their two children.

The three of them sold a total of four taels of silver, and then the people of the old Zhang family were preparing to buy a new woman to be the daughter-in-law of her family's Zhang Dogan.

Everyone scolded the old Zhang family behind their backs for not being a thing.

It's good that the Wang family has taken care of their whole family for so many years, and it is hard work without credit.

In the end, not to mention being beaten and scolded, he was sold along with his two children, which is really miserable.

If someone really sells their daughter to Lao Zhang's family, it must be blind and blind.

When Bai Jinli heard the news, she was being forced by Lin Shenyuan to drink ginseng soup.

That's right!

After Lin Shenyuan finished the things she explained, she came back and found the gifts that Zhong Ling's mother gave her.

The next day, he sent someone to buy more supplements, and also sent someone to boil Bai Jinli every day to replenish her body, so that she had to watch her drink it with her own eyes.

As for the things sent by Zhong Ling's lady, you don't need to guess to know that they were sent by Yan Su.

He didn't want his woman to accept Yan Su's things!

So when Bai Jinli wanted to put away the things sent by Zhong Ling's wife, she found that she couldn't find them.

She went to ask Lin Shenyuan, and then got a reply.

He sold those things! A total of three hundred and twenty-three taels were sold!

After Lin Shenyuan finished speaking, he stuffed all the more than three hundred taels of silver into her hand, and opened his mouth righteously.

"Aren't you short of money? I helped you sell it for money, how do you want to thank me? ”

"......" Bai Jinli controlled the urge to strangle him, turned around and went back and poured a sip of cool white open.

I muttered silently in my heart, such a beautiful face, keep it, and I can eat in the future.

Fortunately, on the day she received the gift, she pulled the largest ginseng whisker from the ginseng and soaked it in her space.

I hope to grow a ginseng again in the future.

The fruit wine has been buried in the ground, and the preserved fruit will not be able to eat it in a few days.

She went to see the storefront of the county, and everything was going according to her imagination, and it would soon be opened.

Because the Niu family is gone, most of the work at home falls on the Zhang family.

During this period, Niu's mother's family also came to make trouble, and Mrs. Li just went back very unceremoniously.

After the Niu family's family heard about the whole thing, they looked at the fierce Mrs. Li again, knowing that they were at a loss, and went back in disgrace without pleasing them.

Fortunately, the Zhang family doesn't have to go to the field in the future, just busy with some family things.

She also made some time to help Bai Mo make a new dress before his birthday.

On Bai Mo's birthday, Mrs. Li asked Zhang to make him a bowl of egg noodles for the first time, but Bai Mo was moved.

Bai Jinli also asked Lin Shenyuan to buy an abacus in the county as a gift for him.

Although Bai Mo's computing power is no longer able to use such a thing as an abacus, he always has an inexplicable fondness for abacus.

Now that Bai Jinli has helped him achieve his wish, Bai Mo can't wait to hold on to his abacus every day when he sleeps.

On the day when the storefront selling snacks in the county opened, Carpenter Tan finally came back from his mother-in-law's house with his daughter Tan Xiaohua.

After Bai Jinli finished the opening of the store in the county, she went back to the village in the afternoon to find Carpenter Tan.

has always wanted to help her eldest brother make a wheelchair, but Carpenter Tan has been away from home.
