Chapter 204: Rumors are flying
"Sister, brother-in-law still has a lot of face now, will he definitely bring my brother back!"
"What are these words, your brother-in-law is just a common man, even if he has some face in front of the county order, he can't use it casually, this time, you two children did it too hastily! Didn't even discuss it with us! ”
This is not for fear that you will not agree and block my brother's future.
Chen Wan replied silently in her heart, but she didn't dare to say this, "Sister, my brother is indeed wrong this time, but it is also for the good of our family, and now my brother-in-law is rising step by step, aren't you worried that you can't straighten your waist in your husband's house!" ”
That's a nice thing to say, and everything that feelings do is still for me, an outsider.
Chen Xi skimmed without a trace, and then didn't want to chat with the fool anymore, and put all his attention on the snacks under his hand.
This is his latest dim sum, the materials are extremely exquisite, and it is made for the restaurant in the capital.
If it had been placed in the past, Chen Wan would definitely want to steal a little skill, but now that her brother's life and death are uncertain, she naturally has no such thoughts, and she saw Chen Xi go back to the room without saying a word.
General Sun was dressed in armor, with countless soldiers, and left Yang Tinghan's house for the county seat, this kind of thing naturally can't be hidden from everyone.
As soon as General Sun and the others left, the word had already spread in the village.
"Yang Tinghan is really capable, he actually has a friendship with other generals, but why does that general look not very energetic, as if he lost a battle, do you think it will be escaped from the frontier?"
"Probably not, maybe the imperial court sent it to help us exterminate the enemy army!"
"You ignorant people don't know yet, the court doesn't want to pay attention to us at all, and now we are completely self-sufficient, and the county order has begun to recruit militiamen!"
Ay!
Just now, they were still talking about gossip, and they were all full of interest, but when they thought of the upcoming war, maybe how many people would die, they all showed a decrepit expression on their faces.
Of course, rumors spread one by one.
At first, they said that those people were deserters, and others said that they were sent by the capital.
In the end, some people even said that there was a general who fell in love with Yang Tinghan and wanted Yang Tinghan to help lead the troops to fight, and in the end it was very outrageous to say that Yang Tinghan was going to soar.
On the Yang family's side, after getting the news, several people looked at each other.
"It's a shame to think about it now, my mother-in-law had to let everyone split up before she died, and now if we are together, maybe we can also eat and drink spicy food!"
It was Sun who spoke, and since Yang Tinghan and Chen Xi ate white rice and meat every day, they regretted it almost every moment.
Wu stood aside and said nothing, but the meaning was obvious.
The two brothers of the Yang family knew that it was their own mother's fault, but they didn't want to listen to their daughter-in-law's complaints.
"Okay, I don't know what happened to this matter, so go back to me honestly! Everywhere there will be wars, and more food will be stored, lest you starve! ”
"I also want to save more food, but the land in the house is only that, and after paying the tax just now, it is only enough for rations, so I still have to save money!"
Thinking of the pitiful grain in their cellar, the family had a look of remorse on their faces.
Chen Xi didn't know anything about the rumors in the village, so he put all his thoughts on dim sum, but he didn't expect someone to come uninvited.
The old lady of the Chen family walked in with her grandchildren on crutches, and when she saw the expensive dim sum, she shouted, "You loser, these things are all good, and you actually made dim sum at one time!" ”
Chen Xi turned around and saw the old lady coming over with a look of pity, and wrapped up all those snacks and put them in her arms, she couldn't doubt what she saw with her eyes.
"I'm wasting dim sum, so what do you mean by putting it up?"
If it were someone else, she would naturally be willing to suffer this dumb loss, but Chen Xi was unwilling, she looked over with her hands around her chest as if smiling, and then asked bluntly.
The old lady was speechless when asked, and a little maid on the side stopped doing it, "This is based on filial piety, you are not filial!" ”
"Hey, little girl, has the hair grown? Dare to call me, today I will talk to you about what filial piety is, the water spilled by the daughter who got married, not to mention that you are still my stepgrandmother! And ......"
Hearing Chen Xiling's sharp teeth and clever tongue, the old lady hurriedly stopped, "Okay, isn't it just a little heart?" Scheming, stingy, I heard that Yang Tinghan met a general, is this true? ”
"Where is the acquaintance, it's clear that they are just here to borrow a night!" Chen Xi replied truthfully.
It's a pity that in the eyes of the old lady, Chen Xi is an extremely cunning person who can't tell the truth at all, so he told the rumors in the village one by one.
Oh my God, a bored villager can simply become a screenwriter, and his brain is too big.
It's just that I saw General Sun and his party leave from their house, and there are already so many versions of rumors.
Chen Xi shook his head helplessly after hearing this, "We and General Sun just met in Pingshui, and we didn't have any intersection, so ah, we didn't fly Huang Tengda, you better go back!" ”
There was another snack to study next, and Chen Xi didn't have time to take care of it, so he walked into the kitchen again.
Seeing that Chen Xi threw so many valuable ingredients together like this, the old lady felt as if someone was digging her meat, and she stepped forward on crutches, "We just moved over, and there is a shortage of food, so you have so much to borrow us a little first!" ”
"You old lady has borrowed and repaid, and it is not difficult to borrow again, but have you paid it back?" Chen Xi was not impatient at all when he spoke, and then he unceremoniously took a rolling pin and waved it twice, the old lady and others retreated and walked out of the kitchen, and Chen Xi closed the door by the way.
The old lady was half angry, and was just about to scold, Chen Xi inside the door said leisurely, "There is about to be a war, my father-in-law is a hero in the eyes of everyone, think about it and then speak!" ”
"You ......"
The old lady's cursing voice stopped abruptly.
It's not that I don't dare, but I can't, now that the big war is imminent, everyone knows very well in their hearts that there is no second person in this village who can help resist foreign enemies except Yang Tinghan.
That's why they moved to this village.
Thinking of the future for a period of time, she still had to rely on Yang Tinghan's care, the old lady's scolding words swallowed back again, and then snorted coldly and left with her grandchildren.
Chen Wan hid in the room, and when she saw that there was no trouble, she left, and was a little unhappy.
In the county office, the county commander looked at General Sun, who had lost the battle and was almost killed, and sat on the main seat proudly at this time, lowering his eyelids, hiding his complicated emotions in his heart.
He was just about to open his mouth to say goodbye, but General Sun threw a tea bowl over and smashed it on his head.
