Li He came back from Lingshan treasure hunting in Huyanjin, so he "resigned and returned to his hometown".

A large amount of property is not something that Uncle Liu can manage alone.

Now, the north-south circulation line with Zheng Kuan, Meng Chen's Caoyun line, the news line of the beggar gang, as well as the contact with Changling Village and Phoenix Village, are also in charge of him and Haiming.

When he is fine, he will train the dealer with the eldest third child and Haiying.

The civilians of the Ming Dynasty cannot keep slaves, and they are all relatives and clansmen.

The others have become farmers who rent land and farm land, and they all call them "family heads", but everyone knows that there is a "young family owner" who has never shown up, and he is the head of the family.

Steward Liu is in charge of firewood, rice, oil and salt on the village, and Steward Li is in charge of ...... Anything.

In just a few months, Li He and Uncle Liu supported this, the family of the descendants of the "old marquis of the Yuan Dynasty".

The point is to have money.

Civilians are not allowed to privately possess active weapons and armor, but there are not many restrictions on bows, crossbows, swords, and knives, as long as the number is not staggering, these are all legal possession by civilians.

Because the Ming army is not equipped with crossbows, even if you have a strong crossbow at home, then no one suspects you of rebellion.

It's just that after the Yuan Dynasty, which strictly prohibited the possession of weapons, there were almost no people who could make crossbows.

Hua Youcai was idle, and he drew the strong crossbow that he and the owner of the pottery village had researched and restored.

Li He saw that it was really a powerful weapon for the care of the family, and when he went out, he went out to find such a craftsman, and really found one for him, and he invited him to Sanhe County.

Although it took a lot of effort and could only make three or four crossbows a month, over time, they also had six or seven strong crossbows.

Li He felt that the most practical was the hand-to-hand combat skills of the family masters, and they often practiced the fighting skills with daggers.

When there is no one, you can practice in the field, and when someone comes to collect the moves, you can't see anything.

Such a big Zhuangzi, there is only one cousin girl, Hua Qiao, and after two days of shopping, she also feels bored.

She called Hua Rong and said, "We are independent here, and we don't know what the county is like, why don't you take your sister to go shopping?" ”

Hua Rong shook his head and said: "Brother Li He has explained, don't go to the county seat if you have nothing to do, this place is not far from the capital, beware of revealing your stuffing." ”

"Then I'll go shopping by myself, I'm wearing a hood and no one will recognize me."

Hua Qiao made up her mind anyway, grabbed the hat that Can'er had just sewn and walked out.

"Sister......

"I'll follow, be careful, it's fine." Hemming volunteered.

He often goes to the town, he thinks that there is a cousin girl in Zhuangzi, which can't be hidden, it's good to go out and show up, a small place, I like Zhang's family Li Jiaxiao the most, it's better to walk around generously.

Xiao Gao originally wanted to go, but Haiming said:

"You have been together before, and now you are still together, it will be easy to be associated with people with hearts, Chan'er is fine."

In the past two years, Haiming has learned to manage things in the house, and followed Uncle Liu and Li He to the north and south, and he has indeed had a lot of skills. Hua Qiao laughed when she heard it:

"I'm going to think about it, I have to be a girl today."

Haiming drove the carriage and took Hua Qiao and Can'er to the county. First, I went to the shop to buy some needles and threads, and then went to the cloth village to pick up some clothes.

Sure enough, someone pointed at Hua Qiao and Can'er.

When they entered the shop, Haiming was waiting in the carriage, and someone next to them asked, "Song San'er, who is this fairy?" ”

"The cousin girl from Nanjing...... The young owner of our family refers to the daughter-in-law of marriage. Hemming said in a low voice.

"Oh oh, poor ...... Like a flower, you want to marry your paralyzed young owner? ”

"Shh......h She doesn't know yet! Don't sell me. The cousin only knew that the young owner had gone to Beijing City for treatment. As soon as Heming finished speaking, he obviously greatly satisfied the curiosity of those people.

In less than three days, everyone in the county will know that the cousin girl from Nanjing is going to marry the paralyzed young owner who is married. Ahh......h

The young man of Buzhuang also whispered the latest news to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper said sympathetically:

"Girl, although this piece of silk is a cloth, it can also be made into a few handkerchiefs, and if you are here for the first time, I will give it to you for free."

"Thank you so much! You're such a nice guy. ”

Hua Qiao was full of joy and thanked him repeatedly. Heming came in to hold the pile of fabric for her, and the shopkeeper nodded to him quickly.

This row of shops is all owned by the Song family, the rent is cheap, and the deposit is not charged, why don't these tenants have a good impression of them?

Along the way, I didn't buy a few things, but I received a lot of gifts.

Hua Qiao sighed and said: "Sanhe County is really simple and enthusiastic, but how can they look at me like they are sympathizing with me?" ”

"Uh...... This ......"

Hai Ming swallowed his saliva and said, "The word we spread is that the young master is a paralyzed man who is treating in Beijing. You're his daughter-in-law, so ...... It's quite sympathetic......"

"What? actually said that the senior brother was a paralyzed person! Hua Qiao picked up a palace fan in his hand and slapped it on Haiming's head. This fan was also given by someone just now.

"Hey...... This is what the adults themselves said! It's so good, as soon as you say it, everyone believes it. ”

"Believe? Why? ”

"Adults say that people like to hear that other people are not doing as well as themselves. The worse you say, the more those people hope it's true. Therefore, if I take you out today, it will be easy for others to believe that you are a victim from Nanjing. ”

Hai Ming smiled bitterly: "This is also taught by adults." ”

"How does he know about this nonsense?"

"Probably...... The bishop's. Heming raised his whip happily, and the horse ran away.

The carriage was about to turn onto the path into the village, when he suddenly saw two men in Taoist robes on the road. When they saw a carriage coming, they stretched out their hands and stopped them.

"Excuse me, is there a Mr. Song living here?"

"Mr. Song? No. The main family name in it is Song, but he is not a gentleman. ”

Haiming had never seen these two people, and he was puzzled, but he was afraid that he was really a friend of the master.

"Master, the address given by Gongzi Huyan last time is here, this Song Zhuang owner, maybe it is Mr. Song."

When Hai Ming heard it, he really knew him, didn't the prince of Huyan just talk about them?

"Who are you...... I have a girl in the car, so I won't invite you to come up, you give your name, and I'll go over and report it first. ”

"In the lower ink flail, I specially came to visit Mr. Song."

"Oh! Mr. Mo! I have heard the name for a long time, like thunder. I'll go back and report on it. You follow this road all the way, and the big Zhuangzi in front of you is it. ”

Hemming said goodbye to the two of them, and drove the carriage away first.

"Ink flail? Who is he? ”

"The owner of the Lingshan Treasure Cave. I wonder what happened to him when he came to the master? I've been there two or three times, but I haven't seen him in person, and he has a few other apprentices guarding the treasure cave. ”

"Then let's go back, and you can catch the car out to pick them up."

"Okay!"
