In the past two days, many people from other villages have come to Heping Village!

For example, the officers who came to the village to check on criminals, the officers and soldiers who walked around around the villagers as if they were looking for someone, and the people who came from nowhere called Hanako, made the originally quiet Heping Village now become panicked.

When the common people were working in the fields, they couldn't help but discuss: "See, there is another group of officers and soldiers, why are there any criminals mixed in Heping Village these days, so many soldiers come and go, it scares people to death!" ”

"I heard that it was a slave who escaped at the border, and these soldiers came to investigate."

"Then go home early after work, so as not to cause trouble!"

Here, the officers and soldiers took Lu Pianpian's portrait and went door to door to search the homes of the common people, and the people were very cooperative with the officers and soldiers to search, and when they arrived at Lao Li's house, an officer and soldier asked: "Have you seen her?" ”

Li Hong glanced at the portraits in the hands of the officers and soldiers, and said in his heart; looks a little similar to Qiaolian, but the woman in the portrait is dressed luxuriously and has an excellent temperament, which is very different from Qiaolian who is sick on weekdays!

So, Li Hong said: "I haven't seen it." ”

"The stakes are high, don't lie!"

Li Hong hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't dare, we are all honest farmers, how dare we deceive you." ”

"You don't have the guts!"

The soldier walked for a while, and Qiao Lian came out of the back room and asked, "Godfather, who are you just now?" ”

Li Hong said: "I took a portrait to find someone, I don't know if it's a criminal or what, but it's strange to say, I look at the portrait, as if it looks a little like you." ”

When Qiao Lian heard this, her heart suddenly became vigilant: "They searched door to door? ”

"That's right."

Li Hong didn't take it to heart, and packed up his things as he spoke.

At this time, Tang came back with a small meat bun, and Tang said, "Qiaolian is up." ”

Qiao Lian's complexion today looks much better than in the past, seeing that Tang Shi is back, she hurriedly stepped forward to get things for her, she held a bamboo basket in one hand, and led a small meat bag into the house in the other, and said, "Godmother, what did the owner of that house say?" ”

Tang said: "He said that he wanted to talk to you about the price in person. ”

"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, so let's go to the city to negotiate now."

"Now?!"

Tang Shi was surprised: "I just came back and haven't taken a breath yet, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

Qiao Lian used a smile to hide the embarrassment in her eyes, and then changed the topic and said with a smile: "I don't want to move into the city with you as soon as possible." ”

Tang smiled helplessly: "It's okay like this, you go to the city to discuss with him by yourself, I'm tired of walking, and I can't walk." ”

Qiao Lian let out a well-behaved voice and asked, "Little Meat Bun, are you going with me?" ”

"Mother, I want to hug!"

Qiao Lian hugged the boy Ming, and after hugging him for a while, she put him down breathlessly: "Godmother, I'll take the little meat bun to the city together." ”

"Go ahead!"

So, Qiao Lian walked out of the house with a small meat bag, there were officers and soldiers everywhere outside, Qiao Lian seemed to be deliberately avoiding these officers and soldiers, and when she left, her face was smeared with some plaster, which looked like a birthmark, and the soldiers sent by the village saw that the portrait was different from her, so she let it go.

With a sigh of relief, Qiaolian looked at the little meat bun and got on Uncle Wang's cart.

Halfway through the cart, Aunt Li from the same village took Aunt Li from the same village on the side of the road, and Aunt Li also took the child, her chubby body sat on the cart with her ass, and almost made Qiaolian next to her fall.

"Yo, the little lady Qiaolian is also here, are you going to the city to buy something?"

Qiao Lian said: "Yes." ”

The cart staggered on the road under the leadership of the horse, and on the road, Aunt Li's children and children were playing happily, and Aunt Li was also chatting happily with Qiaolian.

"You've been in our village for a few years, I can count the number of times you go out on five fingers, what are you doing in the house on weekdays?"

Qiao Lian said seriously: "Sleep." ”

Aunt Li laughed when she heard this: "You can't sleep day and night." ”

When Xiao Ziming heard that someone was laughing at his mother, he was unwilling to interject: "Grandma Tang said, my mother's son is weak, and it is not strange that she sleeps a lot!" ”

"If you are weak, you have to exercise more, how can there be a reason to sleep day and night, Qiaolian little lady, you have a problem with back pain, I'm afraid it's not the root of the disease that Sheng Ziming fell, it's the problem of sleeping too much!"

Aunt Li continued to laugh after speaking, Xiao Ziming waved her little fist unhappily to hammer her, and Aunt Li's child saw this, and he was also unhappy to drink Ziming and fight.

On this board car, it is really lively!

Qiao Lian dragged Ziming over and chuckled: "Auntie, I heard that you are the most diligent in our village, and it is simply a blessing that Brother Wang has cultivated for several lifetimes by marrying you." ”

Qiao Lian was not angry, and she diverted her attention and praised Aunt Li.

When Aunt Li heard this, she smiled triumphantly: "That's!" ”

"By the way, who is this kid's father, why haven't you seen it."

I wanted to divert attention, but I didn't want to bring about the next topic.

Qiao Lianqiao's face fell, and she said with deep sadness hidden in her eyes: "I married her else." ”

When Aunt Li heard this, she felt a little guilty and heartache, but she was more proud: "It turned out to be abandoned...... If you want me to say, it's not good for you to be good-looking, you have to be willing to work in the field like me, and you can have a bunch of children, don't worry, Aunt I'll look for a good person another day, and I'll introduce you to ......"

Along the way, Aunt Li crackled and said, Xiao Ziming innocently quarreled with him and said that he didn't want a stepfather, but Qiaolian was silent, hugged Ziming, and the two mother and son leaned together, letting Aunt Li fight with each other......

After arriving in Zhou County, Qiao Lian habitually wore a scarf to cover her appearance, and led Xiao Ziming all the way to the direction pointed by Tang.

After a while, he came to an inn, and told the innkeeper that he wanted to see Zhou Yuanwai, so under the leadership of Xiao Er, he came to the private room on the second floor.

Zhou Yuanwai is the lord of a large family in Zhou County, about fifty years old, because his son got his name in one fell swoop, he worked as an errand in the capital, so he sold his hometown house and wanted to go to the capital to live.

But this Zhou is surrounded by honest and honest villagers, most of whom have no money to buy a mansion, but a few rich people have come to see it, but they have not taken a fancy to it, but they have been taken by a woman from the countryside.

Qiao Lian and Zhou Yuanwai sat down in the private room, Zhou Yuanwai ordered some dishes to entertain, and said: "This little lady, I heard Aunt Tang say, you have ideas about our old house, I have met Aunt Tang several times, and I haven't heard you say a price. ”

Qiao Lian said: "You speak first." ”

Zhou Yuanwai looked at her suspiciously, and saw that she was dressed plainly, dressed in linen coarse clothes, but she couldn't hide her noble temperament.

Zhou Yuanwai shook his head, he must have been dizzy from his old eyes, how could he feel that a woman who wants to be a country woman has a noble temperament?

Zhou Yuanwai said: "You say it first." ”

Qiao Lian said: "The location of Zhou Yuanwai's house is indeed very good, but after all, it is second-hand, and according to the second-hand market value, I have so much." ”

As he spoke, he made a gesture of five.

Zhou Yuanwai exclaimed: "Five hundred taels of silver? ”

"Yes."

"This ...... The price is too low, I still have a lot of antiques in my house, famous paintings, etc., to say the least, it costs three hundred taels of silver tickets to sell. ”

"I don't want antiques and famous paintings, I don't want furniture, I just want an empty house."

“……”

Gritting his teeth, Zhou Yuanwai stubbornly said: "Okay, deal!" ”

Qiao Lian smiled happily, after she and Zhou Yuanwai completed all the affairs, it was already dusk, Zhou Yuanwai handed over the key to the house to Qiao Lian, Qiao Lian gave the money to Zhou Yuanwai, and the two handed over the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other, and then parted ways.

Zhou Yuanwai took a few cars to the capital overnight, and tonight, Qiao Lian did not return to Heping Village, so she bought a futon and quilt cover in Zhou County, and stayed with Xiao Ziming in the house for one night......

At this time, the white tiger, who had been walking in the village for a day, seemed to have tanned a lot, he returned to an inn in Zhou County, ordered some food, drank a few sips of wine to warm up, and at the same time counted the brothers beside him.

"Is there anything wrong with your news, I'm about to go through the entire Peace Village, and I haven't seen any trace of the queen!"

"The brothers of the beggar gang have seen it with their own eyes, and there must be no fake!"

Baihu took a sip of wine and said, "Have you found any trace of the queen in the next village?" ”

"There is no ...... either"

"General Bai, I think the queen is deliberate, deliberately hiding from them, if she wants to go back to the palace, where are the imperial lists all over the city, unless she is stupid, how can she not see it."

"Hugh wants to be vain and humble to his master!"

Baihu took a few bites of rice, put down the dishes and chopsticks and said: "We have been investigating for so many years, all of them are chasing after the wind, and now someone sees the queen's figure, it means that she is not dead, I will go back to the palace to report to the emperor, you will continue to investigate here, there must be no mistake!" ”

"Yes......," the soldiers replied weakly.

After the white tiger finished speaking, he went out and rode to the direction of the capital, and the soldiers behind him said like a resting ball: "I'm tired to death, what are you looking for!" ”

"Let's go, brothers, let's drink flower wine tonight."

"The general is gone, we are finally free!"

"Haha, let's go, let's drink!"

Saying that, a group of soldiers went to a kiln in Zhou County to drink flower wine, and because the white tiger returned to the capital, Qiaolian, who was originally very vigilant, relaxed her vigilance slightly.

Following

After Qiao Lian woke up, she took Xiao Ziming back to Heping Village.

Strange to say, a few days ago, there were errand officers at the entrance of the village, and soldiers were looking for people, but there was no soldier and errand at this time.

Qiao Lian thought to herself; Could it be that they gave up?

Thinking like this, my heart is half happy and half worried.

Just when the two were about to arrive at Lao Li's house, they met a messy and dirty child on the way.

At this moment, it was the time when the farm was busy, and the people around were busy working in the fields, and the dirty children came out of nowhere, so they pulled Qiaolian's clothes and begged: "Auntie, I'm hungry, okay, give me something to eat." ”

Ziming felt that this voice sounded familiar, but looking at her appearance, it was too sloppy, as if she had just rolled out of the dirt, which made him not only frown and hide away.

Qiao Lian said: "I didn't bring anything to eat." ”

Ziming said: "Mother, why don't you take her home and get her steamed buns to eat." ”

When Qiao Lian heard this, she said, "Then you come with us, I'll go home and get you food." ”

"Thank you, auntie."

Qiao Lian flattened her mouth, she was called Auntie at a young age, how could she be a little unable to adapt to it!

So, the three of them returned to Lao Li's house one after the other, Li Hong saw her back, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her, and when he saw a dirty child behind him, he wondered: "Where did the little flower come from?" ”

"Godfather, get some food for her, I guess she's hungry."

"Okay."

Li Hong went into the house and took a bowl of leftovers and handed it to the child, who took the rice, thanked him and hurriedly hid to the side to eat the food.

Not far away, a group of people walked over, Qiao Lian had no intention of looking, fixed her eyes on the comer, and immediately turned around and ordered: "Godfather, godmother, I'm tired of walking, wait for someone to come to me, just say I'm not feeling well, sleep, no one will see!" ”

Seeing her running into the house in a hurry, Li Hong and Tang looked at each other for unknown reasons, and Zi Mingzhi stood in the distance and looked at the dirty child.

Feng Yihai and his subordinates came from afar, and when they saw a few people standing at the door, they saluted and said, "Uncle Li, sister-in-law Tang, is Qiaolian at home?" ”

Ziming looked at the good-looking handsome boy in front of him, and said in a milky voice: "My mother said that she was tired, and she went into the house to sleep, and no one saw her." ”

Feng Yihai originally came to thank Qiaolian for saving her life, but who knew that he was turned away from the door twice when he visited the door, and he not only lost his smile.

However, when his gaze fell on Ziming's face, the laughter suddenly stopped......

This is......
