"Young master, you know that it is impossible for me to go back, you wash up and rest early, I will go out first."

Wei Qi seemed to be used to it, said a word expressionlessly, and turned around and walked out the door.

Crash!

After a crisp sound of the teacup, only Yan Moze, whose eyes became deeper and deeper, stood in place.

......

Zhaojia Village

The moon was hanging high in the clouds, and Bai Qianning's carriage had just reached the entrance of the village, when he heard the noise in the village, which was very lively.

Then I saw six or seven men on horseback, followed by a carriage galloping out of the village.

The road at the entrance of the village was already narrow, and when two carriages intersected, the road was blocked.

Bai Qianning looked through the car window and saw that the people who were sitting immediately were all dressed in official clothes, although she was puzzled in her heart, she didn't dare to offend, and was about to let the person who sent her back give way, but she heard the official messenger led by the opposite party order to make way for them.

The person who sent her back didn't seem to be afraid, and went directly into the village from the way let out by the officials.

What are the people from the government doing at such a late hour? And why are the people of Yan Moze not afraid of the people in the government? If she said that she was riding in Yan Moze's carriage today, it would make sense, but before she came, she was afraid that the too gorgeous carriage would be a little ostentatious, so she let people change to an ordinary carriage, which is a bit too much, you must know that the hierarchy in this era is very strict, how can there be a reason for officials to make way for them.

The more Bai Qianning thought about it, the more unbelievable he felt, and in the blink of an eye, the carriage stopped at the door of Xu's house.

"White girl, it's here."

The person outside the car reminded.

"Hmm"

Bai Qianning came to his senses, replied, and got out of the carriage.

"Wait for me to thank you young master, it's late at night, you can go back quickly."

"Yes, the white girl rested earlier, and we took our leave." The squire at the head replied, then waved his hand at the other two, preparing to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Bai Qianning suddenly stopped them and asked suspiciously: "How do you know where I live, I remember that I didn't give you guidance after entering the village." ”

"This ......" The attendants were obviously a little weak-hearted, and glanced at each other, so that it could not be said that their young master had been sending them to monitor her every move, right?

"That's it! It's okay, you guys go back first. ”

Bai Qianning was sure that they would not tell the truth, but looking at their expressions, she already had some guesses in her heart. Yan Moze actually sent someone to secretly investigate her, could it be that he couldn't fully trust himself because of cooperation?

Bai Qianning was suspicious, but he couldn't conclude Yan Moze's intentions at all, and this matter could only be doubted in his heart for the time being.

Retracting his thoughts, Bai Qianning looked up and saw the house not far away, sighed heavily, and was about to go to Xu's house to pick up Xiaodouding and Grandma Zhao first.

"Mother, mother!"

Bai Qianning turned around and saw Uncle Xu and the Xu family brothers and sisters walking over from the path at the other end with Xiao Douding.

"Where are you going to do this at this late hour?"

Bai Qianning couldn't help but ask, so she squatted down and hugged Xiao Douding, who ran to her, into her arms.

Uncle Xu looked at her with a puzzled look on her face, and quickly explained: "You should not know that you came back at this time, right?" Zhao Laogen was arrested, and the official messenger came just now, saying that someone accused him of bullying his neighbors and disregarding people's lives, and arrested him for interrogation. ”

"The village chief has been arrested?"

Bai Qianning remembered the team of officials he had just seen, and then he knew their intentions.

"He is no longer the village head, when the official came to arrest people, he said that Zhao Laogen would be imprisoned if he was arrested, and he also said that the county lord gave an order to let my father take over as the new village head."

Xu Xiuzhu is the fastest, and before her father opened his mouth, she told her about today's events.

Bai Qianning was even more strange now, she dared to leave for a long time, the village chief was arrested, and the county lord even designated Uncle Xu as the new village head, which is too ridiculous.

His eyes rolled, and Bai Qianning couldn't figure it out for a while, so he could only let the Xu family go into the house first, and then ask about the situation specifically.

In fact, she was not the only one who had doubts, but as soon as she returned to the house, the stone pulled her and asked, "White girl, what are you doing in the county?" Did you report this today? ”

"Why do you say that?"

Bai Qianning asked.

Seeing that she didn't intend to admit it, the stone made his inference:

"Uncle Qin is the only driver in the whole village, and after dinner, Uncle Qin told us that he sent you to the county, and you are the only one who can report to the official. Moreover, there are several people in the village who are older than my father, and this village chief can't take my father's turn. ”

These words happened to be Bai Qianning's doubts, and as soon as she wanted to deny it, she saw that the stone was pulled by Aunt Xu, who had just heard the good news from her two daughters, and said, "Hey! What do you say about your dad? Is your dad so inferior? ”

"No, mother, let's get down to business, don't worry, your title of village chief's wife can't run."

The stone hurriedly rubbed his sore ear and said flatteringly.

Uncle Xu also hurriedly came out to persuade peace: "Okay, what the stone said is right." Then he asked Bai Qianning and said, "Is it really your ...... about this today?"

"It's not me, I'm just going to the county today to get together with a friend I know, the matter of reporting to the official has nothing to do with me, and I have no evidence and no power, even if I go to report to the official, the county lord will not believe me, let alone indicate the position of letting Uncle Xu take over as the village head. I can't figure it out about that either. ”

Bai Qianning said her analysis, and the Xu family also felt that it made sense when they heard this, but it was also a great thing, and the family soon stopped being entangled, especially Aunt Xu, who had suffered so much for so many years, and once became the wife of the village chief, she was so happy that she began to worry about what clothes she would wear tomorrow to attend the new village chief's inauguration meeting.

Bai Qianning saw that it was getting late, so he didn't bother any more, exchanged a few words with them, and then took Xiaodouding and Grandma Zhao back.

After lighting the oil lamp in the dark, Bai Qianning washed up for Grandma Zhao and Xiaodouding, who were already drowsy, and arranged for them to sleep first.

Zhan Qianche's previous bed was bigger, and Bai Qianning let Grandma Zhao and Xiaodouding sleep on that bed, while he still slept on the small bed he made before.

There have been so many things that have happened lately, and she doesn't want to think about anything.

Lying on the bed like this, she took out the jasper wrench and held it in her hand, her eyes looked at the direction of the small door, she only looked forward to a certain moment, the door would suddenly open, and then Zhan Qianche would come out and tell her that he would stay, or he would take her away.

Looking at it like this, his gaze gradually blurred, and Bai Qianning's consciousness entered the seed space.

Since he knew about the existence of the seed space, he had not even used half of the seed inside except for using it to store valuables and grab chickens and ducks outside.

She didn't know what kind of seeds were in the space, but now that spring was about to begin, it was time to take out some of them for farming.

There is a small piece of wasteland behind this house, if it is reclaimed and some grain and vegetables are grown, there is no need to go to the county to buy and eat it in order to hide people's eyes and ears in the future.

Thinking like this, Bai Qianning entered the warehouse.

At present, it is impossible to grow wheat and rice, and if you want to eat the fruits of your labor quickly, you must choose some vegetables with a short growth period, such as cabbage and water spinach, which can be ripened in almost 20 days, and it is easy to take care of.

After picking a circle in the warehouse, Bai Qianning roughly selected four or five kinds of vegetable seeds, packed them in a small cloth bag, and prepared to wake up tomorrow and take time to plant them.

......

Early the next morning

Bai Qianning had just opened his eyes when the sound of gongs and drums sounded in the village, and the sound was getting closer and closer.

Thinking of last night's incident, Bai Qianning thought that maybe the villagers came to congratulate the new village chief, but he didn't expect that his door was knocked on next.

Worried that it would make Xiaodouding and Grandma Zhao sleep, Bai Qianning immediately put on her coat and ran out. I saw a large group of people of all ages and children surrounding the courtyard, some of them holding gongs and drums in their hands, some holding rice, noodles and melons and fruits, and looking at Bai Qianning.

Only then did Bai Qianning remember that she forgot to close the courtyard door last night.

"Folks, what are you doing early in the morning?"
