"Master!" In the study, Xun Ying looked at the man sitting at the desk with a respectful face. Novelγ
"Coming back? How's it going? β
"The woman that day was the richest woman in Fengcheng."
"Oh? Are people still there? The man at the desk looked up from a pile of folds in a rare way.
"It's not in Du Mansion, and now its whereabouts are unknown."
"Then forget it, Du Mansion will send someone to keep an eye on me." The man said, bowed his head and continued to review.
Xun Ying wanted to say something, but looking at the master in front of him, he could only swallow. After all, the master only asked him to investigate the identity of the woman that day, and now that he heard that his whereabouts were unknown, he didn't say much. In that case, let's not talk about her maid.
"Yes, my subordinates have orders!" After Xun Ying finished speaking, he disappeared in a flash.
When the light shone in again, I saw the man who had been buried in front of the table slowly stood up.
Dressed in a white and flawless ice silk brocade robe, with a purple gold jade belt inlaid with black amber from the South China Sea around his waist, and a jade crown of glazed pearls on his head, his resolute face seemed to be carefully carved by God, and his hair like ink was floating at will. Pursing his lips at the moment, he didn't know what he was thinking, and as if he was disturbed, there was a trace of impatience in his expression.
"Come on, prepare the horses!" Zi Yicheng's mind flashed Du Yi's crying expression, and the impatience in his heart became even more obvious. It's obviously only a one-night marriage, and he was poisoned, how did he remember that face?
Liu.
In the days of the harvest, Du Yi and Peach Blossom, in addition to scraping salt during the day, also picked some wild vegetables, and occasionally caught one or two small fish.
By the time the autumn harvest was over, it was starting to get cold. Especially in the morning and evening, it is already very noticeable.
"Second brother, you can take us to the mountains tomorrow. I want to go pick some wild fruits and come back, and go to the mountain to see how things are going. Du Yi finally caught Erlang to have time, and hurriedly asked.
The salt at home has been sold for one or two hundred wen one after another in the past few days, but it will not work for a long time like this. At present, the salt is getting less and less, and their family has to save for their own food.
The 1200 silver can only be kept for emergency use at home. I don't know if it's because the food is good, the Liu family is back, and the peach blossom is happy, during this time, her body is obviously better than usual.
Everyone in the village knows about their family, but they are too lazy to care.
"That's not possible, it's dangerous in the mountains, you want wild fruits, the second brother just picks them for you. You can stay at home again, and if you're bored, go out with Peach Blossom. β
Xu is during this time, Du Yi's behavior at home is very approachable, and Li Niang, Erlang and others are not so restrained about her.
Seeing Erlang's expression, Du Yi could only say helplessly: "Second brother, I want to go to the mountain to have a look, picking wild fruits is on the one hand, and on the other hand, I want to see if there are any herbs I want on the mountain." Now the family has food, but there is no money. What I want to do, I don't even have the most basic principal. What doesn't cost money at home? I thought of going to the mountains to pick some herbs, and when the time came, I would go to the town and sell them in exchange for silver. β
"The mangosteen I said before, making soap and the like, all require the principal, otherwise who will sell me something? And what about the mother? A trip to the Yamen, to say the least, will cost a tael of silver, right? Our family has little land, so we will have to buy some land when the time comes. This year is a bumper harvest, but the grain output is not good. In my estimation, it is only enough for half a year's ration. Xiaohuzi is getting bigger and bigger day by day, and it will cost money to go to school in the future. Of course, the second brother and second sister-in-law will give birth to a little niece and nephew for me in the future, so it's okay for us to suffer ourselves, but we can't be bitter about the child......"
Du Yi was still talking vigorously, and when he found that the faces of the Liu family were getting darker and darker, he realized that he seemed to have gone too far, and hurriedly changed his words: "Of course, the biggest purpose is for myself." My aunt will not give up if she doesn't find me. Even if I hide here, I can't hide for the rest of my life. She framed me and took my Du Mansion, and I must take it back. I must not allow my inheritance to fall into the hands of the wicked woman. But all of this must be backed by money. β
"Erlang, you can take Yiyi with you. She was right, Du Mansion must not fall into the hands of others. β
Liu suspected that the death of his wife had something to do with Du Ling's. I still remember that Mrs. was originally just a loss of body, but since she came, Mrs. Lady's body has been getting worse day by day. Then the lady was gone, and she didn't come.
However, when the master was seriously injured and sick, she came again, and not long after, the master was gone. How can there be such a coincidence?
Of course, all this is just her suspicion, and she can't talk nonsense if there is no evidence. It's just a thousand precautions, but I didn't expect the young lady to hand over the title deed to the Du Ling clan. Ay!
His own mother-in-law opened his mouth, and Erlang could only agree.
Du Yi actually wanted to ask Peach Blossom to go with him, but when he saw Peach Blossom's body, he could only shake his head helplessly. Instantly, he said to Li Niang: "Sister-in-law, you can go with you too." If there are herbs at that time, we can also get more. Xiaohuzi can be taken by his mother at home. In the past few days, she has been tired and has to rest. β
In fact, everyone was tired, but they all understood what Du Yi meant. Peach Blossom's body, in fact, in terms of physical strength, has long been overdrawn. It's just that this girl has been struggling during this time, but fortunately, the food is also better, and when she goes out, Du Yi will also pay attention to rest, so it didn't cause her to get sick.
In the past few days, Peach Blossom's face has become pale day by day. Du Yi was afraid, afraid that if Peach Blossom followed again, he might get sick halfway, which was not a joke.
"Yiyi, just let me go. I'm fine, just take a break. One more person, one more force. "Peach Blossom actually had a very happy time during this time. It's just a little tired, but she's willing.
Finally, she felt that she was still a little useful in this family, not like she was for the waste, and she no longer dragged the family back. At this time, when I heard that I was not allowed to go, I was a little anxious.
"Peach Blossom, we're going to the mountains, and we have to climb the mountains or something. This time, the mountain is a little far away, and the mountain is relatively high. So wait for next time, next time you're better, let's go together. If you want to go, then go with your mother to dig up some wild chrysanthemums and honeysuckle, which can be sold for money after being washed and dried. When I went back to town, I took it and sold it together. I don't need to say more about it, although it's starting to get colder, and the amount isn't that much. But it's still a little bit, you can go with your mother. β
When Liu Dazhu heard this, he also nodded, indicating that Xiaobao was at home, and he would also watch. It's good that the grain is almost dry, and it needs to be watched.
Hearing Doe's arrangement, everyone nodded. Nowadays, everyone wants to miss the things that can make money. As Du Yi said, whether it is to make money to back her up, or for her mother and this family, in short, everything is based on the present, and making money is the first.
Early in the morning, Du Yi and Li Niang carried two large baskets on their backs, and one of them held a woodcutter. Erlang pinned his woodcutter to his belt, holding a rope and a flat pole in his hand, and the three of them wandered towards the highest mountain in Liujia Village.
This mountain is to the east of Liujia Village, relatively speaking, it is much higher than the mountain that Du Yi went to before, and the trees are more lush.
When he reached the foot of the mountain, Doe saw pheasants flying. She was itching to see it, and she couldn't wait to catch it and stew it.
"Sister Yiyi wants to eat it?" Li Niang saw her staring at the pheasant, swallowed her saliva, and asked out loud.
That being said, she hadn't eaten it for a long time, and she had forgotten what the pheasant tasted like. I just think it's delicious, and it would be nice to be able to catch one.
Xiaohuzi has eaten well these days, and his face looks a little ruddy. Yiyi is right, it's nothing to be bitter for yourself, but you must not be bitter for the child.
Thinking of this, he said to Erlang: "Father, child, see if you can think of a way to catch one and go back." β
Erlang said with an embarrassed face: "That pheasant is very cunning, fluttering fiercely, and has wings, it is difficult to hit." In the past, most of the shots were shot with arrows. I don't know how to hunt, it's ......."
Doe smiled softly when she heard this, she knew that the pheasant was not easy to fight, but she knew better that the pheasant was relatively easy to get on a rainy day. Why? The pheasants usually make their nests under trees, and there are usually several pheasants in a nest. When it rains, the chicken can't fly, and it's a matter of course, it's much easier to catch one than ever.
"Big brother, if you want to eat in the future, come and catch it on a rainy day. You want your wings to be wet, how can you fly? β
"yes, why didn't I think of that?" Jiro patted his head and laughed.
It's just that when I saw the pheasant, I was also a little drooling, thinking that I should go up the mountain to see it first, and then find out if there was a pheasant nest when I came back, and if I could dig out some eggs and go back to satisfy my appetite.
"Yiyi, what do you want so many purple fruits for?" Dooy was picking grapes at this time, and she couldn't understand why the grapes looked like they were just ripening at this time. The mountains are full of grapes, and it is very exciting to see.
"Second brother and sister-in-law, you should be neat, this thing is called grapes, and I am going to pick it back for winemaking." At present, she has seen so many fruits, and the grapes are more exciting to her, but fortunately she is carrying a big basket today.
"Winemaking? Is that the kind of sake that is made of rice wine? "Men have a good mouthful. Because the family is poor, Erlang and his father are reluctant to spend money to buy it even if they want to drink. Only during the Chinese New Year, buy so two catties of slow products. Every time you take a sip of wine, you should moisten it in your mouth and swallow it slowly.
"Yes, when it comes out, the second sister-in-law can also drink some. This kind of wine, a woman drinks it is also good for the body. There is also a faint fruity aroma, which is particularly delicious. β
Doy didn't know if there was wine for sale here, but at least one thing was that his family could drink it. :3wγIn modern times, her mother had to drink a glass every night, and since she was 12 years old, she has also drunk a small glass every night to fall asleep.
Hearing this, the couple sped up the movements of their hands. This thing can be made of wine, how precious is that? You must know that this rice wine costs ten yuan a catty, but it is not cheap. If it's that good, wouldn't it be more expensive?
"Second brother, second sister-in-law, this grape should be put lightly. Actually, we can also sell them in the town, this grape is very sweet, and I want to sell it in the town yet. β
"Yiyi, don't laugh. These wild fruits are all over the mountains, how can anyone be willing to spend money to buy them? If ordinary people want to eat it, they will go up the mountain to pick it themselves. β
Li Niang disagreed. In her opinion, Du Yi is a daughter who does not know the hardships of the people's lives. Now it's just that I haven't been in Liujia Village for a long time, and I feel that this is silver, and that is also silver.
But that's it, my mother said that she was literate and read a lot, maybe she could really earn money. In the old days, if someone told them that a tree would produce salt, they would never believe it. But now that the facts are in front of them, they cannot be unconvinced.
Maybe those flowers can really be sold for silver, and this purple fruit can also be used to make wine. It's just that this purple fruit is used to sell, so it may not be.
If you can really sell the silver, you will definitely be stripped away.
"Is it true, when I go to the town to catch the market the day after tomorrow, my sister-in-law and I will go to see it, isn't it done? Besides, if it doesn't work, we will keep it for ourselves when the time comes, or will we make sake too, right? β
Du Yi did not argue with Li Niang, there are some things that need to be spoken with facts, otherwise it is useless to say more.
The three of them picked a large basket of grapes, hid it, and went up the hill. Du Yi's goal was still on the mountain, and she prayed that she could dig up some precious medicinal herbs such as Ganoderma lucidum or Polygonum multiflorum.
The climate here is not suitable for the growth of ginseng at all, and she did not expect this to happen. Looking at her again, it is best to use Ganoderma lucidum, after all, that thing is not only precious, but it is good for her heart disease if she eats it.
The deeper I went, the darker it became, and I didn't know if it was going to rain. However, Doe knew that this was a normal phenomenon in the rainforest-like woods.
It's been a long time, and Du Yi still hasn't found what he's looking for, but has found a lot of common medicinal herbs. But she also knew that it was absolutely impossible for her to come here again to pick, and those would not sell for much money.
It would be a lie to say in my heart that I would not be disappointed.
"Yiyi, let's go back. It's strange that it's not safe here, you can't go in anymore, there are very few people here, there are tigers and the like in it. β
"Good!" Even if Du Yi was no longer reconciled, he could only give up when he heard this.
The three of them didn't go far before they saw Li Niang running forward quickly, and said, "Yiyi, there are mushrooms in the cracks of the stones, it's still a big mushroom, let's pick it back." β
When Du Yi heard this, he took a quick look and hurriedly stopped: "Sister-in-law, stop!" β
Li Niang's hand paused, and she glanced back at Du Yi suspiciously, her eyes full of incomprehension. Even Erlang, who was following behind him, didn't understand how Du Yi could be so excited.
"Sister-in-law, this is the medicinal herb I'm looking for, not a mushroom." Doe patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. I was almost scared to death by Li Niang, what kind of mushroom is this, that is the Ganoderma lucidum I am looking for.
