The rain of midsummer is pouring down, falling on the roof, and the sound is like the sound of firecrackers during the New Year, crackling in the ears from time to time to make people frightened. Many people were confined to their homes because of the sudden heavy rain.

In the Wei family hall, Chu Jianniang practiced the fine silk into thick silk, and asked Wei Xuan to help lead the way, and tried to tighten the silk thread with the newly bought reeling car.

Since returning in April, Chu Jianniang and Wei Xuan have not been far away. Chu Jianniang raised silkworms at home and sold cocoons, cooked cocoons and practiced silk, and occasionally went to the farmland to do work, and her life was leisurely.

Wei Xuan is not much different from her, but Chu Jianniang often pulls him to practice silk together, which makes a strong and burly man gradually become a delicate "little woman".

Of course, many times, Wei Xuan would still go to the county to talk to Han Fu, Zhuoyi and others about the current situation.

And today is the Ding'an Dynasty, it is said that after King Qu'an ascended the throne, in the past few months, he removed many old ministers from the court, cut off dozens of marquis county mansions, and held all the powerful and military marquis' mansions in his own hands, and never let the first emperor and Wanbei Marquis repeat the mistakes of the past.

Compared with the first emperor, this new official is decisive and does not drag the mud and water, but if there is a moth, it must be uprooted, and not a single bad egg will be left.

Later, the new official had a whimsical idea and opened the "advice box" again.

I heard that it was a boxy box, like a dowry used by women, held by the father-in-law next to the new official's family, and the courtiers gave their opinions and suggestions in an anonymous way. including those who are dissatisfied with whom; Those who have a bad character, but are not discovered; abuse of private rights; Those who do not do practical things, etc., can be put into the advice box.

This time opened up another way for the court, which has always been easy to argue, to speak freely. Since then, whether it is a military official or a military attaché, it is called a positive response to this policy.

Chu Jianniang listened to the news that Wei Xuan and Han Fuzi brought back after chatting, and said in her mouth: "I see that the big tumors in the court have been personally eliminated by the new official family. However, this one out of the admonition box is nothing more than asking the courtiers to participate in one copy of me, and I will participate in one copy of yours. Let's confront each other in the court, so that the officials can find out the bottom of these courtiers. ”

Wei Xuan held the silk thread and nodded with a smile: "The official family wants to replace the new ministers to settle their henchmen, but they don't want to lose some capable and loyal old ministers. The purpose of this is to find out the essence of these people, so as to decide whether these people will stay or not. ”

Old man Wei shook his fan on the rattan chair next to him, listened to a few passages in his ear, and praised coldly: "It seems that this new official family has some means. ”

Liu brought a plate of snacks from the kitchen and put it on the table, and his eyes twitched: "Without a means, can people be officials." ”

There is some truth to that.

Old man Wei darkened his face when he saw Liu's refutation of his words.

Chu Jianniang and Wei Xuan glanced at each other and smiled.

There is some truth to this. But I think, if you get back the position yourself, can't you do it by any means? Now there is a certain saying that the matter between the first emperor and the Marquis of Wanbei was actually pushed up by King Qu'an. That Sun Guifei was originally trading with King Qu'an.

Regarding the belated rescue, it is said that King Qu'an had received the will of the first emperor early, but King Qu'an replied that he could not retreat due to the serious war in Liaodong, and then delayed.

You have to think about it carefully.

But you can't talk nonsense between this, talk nonsense, after all, no one knows whether it's true or false, just think about it.

It can be imagined that whether it is the script or the original historical trajectory, since ancient times, emperors have competed with each other, and the matter of power and conspiracy is to find whose heart is more treacherous and cunning, and who has the ability, the winner can be the king.

After finishing the silk, Chu Jianniang asked Wei Xuan to bring it into the back room, and brought a large basin of warm water cocoons, and pouted a room of people to continue to help and began to peel off the cocoons.

Old man Wei makes perfect, and Liu is reluctant, and occasionally reluctant.

After Wei Xuan finished his work, he stood aside and observed for a long time, and then teased: "Will the lady be a silkworm girl or a weaver girl in the future?" ”

Chu Jianniang stared at the cocoon in her hand, and finally twisted out a silk head, and said without raising her head: "It's all right." ”

"Good." Wei Xuan clapped his palms and said with a look of too sincerity: "The lady has good ambitions, and she will support her husband." ”

Chu Jianniang raised her eyes and stared at her fiercely, how fake his appearance was, how fake he was. Then he immediately took out the small pestle at his feet, put it next to him, and motioned for him to come over and draw silk.

Seeing this woman's slightly domineering movements, Wei Xuan secretly felt that the current atmosphere and status of the family seemed to be a little delicate......

After the heavy rain, the sky was crisp, and many people began to go out again to get busy. However, after a heavy rain fell, it also flooded a lot of crops, which made many people in the village complain.

Fortunately, the Wei family's terrain is quite high, so it has not been affected much, but they also have to go to see the situation to avoid other negligence.

Early in the morning, Chu Jianniang and Wei Xuan responded to Old Man Wei's words, and carried shovels to the back mountain, as well as several fields in Dazhuang Ridge to open openings and release water. When he came back, he didn't even put down the shovel, and he heard a sharp female voice on the road, scolding:

"Which family has no heart to dig the ditch for the old lady! The old lady blocks once, you dig once! If your field is flooded, our field will not be flooded? When you release water from your house, let the water flood other fields! Why is my heart so black! Don't be found by the old lady to dig the ditch, you have to let the heartless lady clear the whole ditch! ”

Hearing this scolding, Chu Jianniang and Wei Xuan looked at each other tacitly. Chu Jianniang thought a little in her heart: Didn't they dig the wrong ditch?

Wei Xuan looked at her and thought too much, didn't bother to pay attention to it, and packed up and went back to the house.

Chu Jianniang glanced at her with disdain, and then a fierce spirit put down the shovel and went outside to take a look.

I saw a woman in a bewitching red dress on the road with her sleeves rolled up, her hands crossed on her waist, and she scolded her neighbors in all directions.

This woman's eyes are raw, as if she is not from the village, Chu Jianniang asked. Seeing that Liu was feeding the chickens, he asked who Liu was?

After sprinkling the last handful of grain, Liu patted the ashes with both hands, looked at the people on the road, and snorted in his nose.

Listening to this hum, Chu Jianniang will know...... Oh no!

This woman is the daughter-in-law of Xie Shengshou's family who married back at the beginning of this year, called Jiao Chunniang, a foreign woman, and she is said to be extremely pungent.

As for the spicy method, it is said that Xie Shengshou and his family regretted it a little, why did they agree to marry such a woman for their son to come back?

Now in the Xie family, this woman is in power, and she is dominant, forcing the second elder of the Xie family to rush every day.

Chu Jianniang saw this person's posture, her fiery red clothes were like a sharp pepper in the sun, she should indeed be an amazing woman.

However, Chu Jianniang questioned, since she was such a pungent one, why didn't she and Wei Xuan go back to Longshan Village for so long, why didn't she hear the slightest bit of this woman's pungent deeds?

Liu said that just because she came up with a spicy energy, she loved to compete in everything, and she didn't use her mouth, but the kind that did it directly. Before, Mrs. Wang said a few words of gossip, and she bumped into her, and the woman went up and shook Mrs. Wang's face, like a mad dog.

And who would dare to tell her word now? If you can take a detour, you can take a detour.

At the end, this person can't be messed with.

Chu Jianniang was trembling when she heard Liu introduce this person. I probably understand, this is a powerful person in the village.

I saw that Red Pepper was still scolding on the road, but no one paid attention to her, whether she was passing by or working.

However, as soon as the red pepper turned her head, she saw Chu Jianniang and Liu watching at the door of her house, and immediately cast her eyes straight over.

At the gate of the courtyard, Chu Jianniang was startled by her sudden eye shot.

After that, I heard the red pepper rush and said: "Wei family, I can see that you husband and wife went to the field with shovels, but don't do things that you two are lacking in morality!" ”

I didn't ask them about it, but I was quite sure of what it was, and it really didn't make people feel comfortable.

Chu Jianniang held Sven and replied: "This sister-in-law, we just went to our own field to make an opening, but we didn't dig your ditch." Moreover, my field is in the west, and your field is in the east, so even if I dig a few more shovels, the water will not reach your field. ”

Since she is from the Xie family, the Xie family's field is separated from his family's by a distance of seven or eight acres, so it has nothing to do with them.

But Red Pepper didn't think so, and crossed his waist, "How do you know that this water can't flow?" Your field is a slope higher than mine, and no matter how big the water is, it can flow down. ”

Chu Jianniang was surprised, "Sister-in-law, you can't make sense of what you say......

"Why doesn't it make sense, this water just flows to a low place, you put the hole in the field, can it be that the water flows to a high place?"

At this time, Chu Jianniang saw that this person was a little unreasonable. In short, what this means is that whether they dig the ditch of her house or not, is it their fault?

Seeing Chu Jianniang's mouth choked, Liu said in his heart: I'm afraid that this woman in the family won't be able to win this person. So he came over to help, and raised his voice:

"How strange this is! How can you say that anyone who is taller than your family is guilty of opening the mouth and leaking water? ”

Red Pepper didn't make much more sense, "I said auntie, I'm looking for a person digging a ditch, and now in the village, I saw your son and daughter-in-law carrying a shovel out, not your family to dig it, is it still me who can't dig it?" ”

"Wow! Is carrying a shovel just digging a ditch in your house? Why don't I say that you are holding a bowl and eating my rice! ”

"Auntie, if you are so unreasonable, then don't blame me for being unkind! You also know my temper, if someone pushes me to be anxious, if what happens to your family, don't blame me, I don't care about thirty-seven twenty-one! ”

As he spoke, the young and vigorous man turned back directly.

Liu was anxious and chased after him: "You little mother-in-law, you stop for me!" You dare to try it in my field. ”

Chu Jianniang hasn't reacted yet, do you want to stop Liu?
