Chapter 429: Gathering Evidence
You've already passed this matter on to your master, right? “
Scar nodded.
"The news has been spread, but the master has not replied yet."
Seeing this nursery rhyme, I won't say more, after all, when it comes to King Han, she really doesn't know how to deal with it as a woman, after all, she is not clear about the situation in the court.
"Thank you for your hard work."
"It's a subordinate business."
After Scar said this, he saw that the nursery rhyme had no other instructions and soon disappeared.
The nursery rhyme also slowly stood up from the couch at this time, and a smile hooked up at the corner of her mouth, she didn't know about the things in the court, but according to experience, if King Han had a disobedient heart, if he and the emperor were on the same page, plus those few uneasy princes, his own father-in-law would be able to manipulate some things in the middle to get convenience.
Thinking of this, her mood is much better.
Yu County ushered in heavy snow again, except for going out to buy vegetables in the morning, even Zhou Niang rarely went out.
And Han San'er Han San'er and they also came back from the north, and to her surprise, they really brought back several grassland sheep.
"Third Brother Han, you really have a heart."
Nursery rhyme looked at the sheep in the yard who were not in good spirits, and was so happy that she felt that the whole winter was worth it at the thought of being able to eat delicious mutton hot pot.
Running all the way, Han San'er's face has also undergone some vicissitudes, but there is a bright light in his eyes, and his spirit is good at a glance.
"I heard Brother Chen mention earlier, this time it happened to be smooth, but it was also a big loss to these sheep, and several times I thought that if they really couldn't survive, they would only be able to bring you back mutton at that time, and you were lucky."
"Third Brother Han is polite, you are just coming back, I will let Ah Qing go to your place later, and invite you to the hot pot restaurant for a meal."
When Han San'er heard the hot pot restaurant, the smile on his face deepened, but he refused.
"Don't bother so much, Brother Feng and they are also back, we have better go to the hot pot restaurant to eat, or wait until Brother Chen comes back next time, I will come over to bother."
Tong Yao thought for a while, and nodded, but in his heart, he thought that if he really wanted to wait until her father-in-law came back, then he would have to wait.
"Then it's settled."
As he spoke, he personally sent Han San'er out.
At this time, the little pumpkin was standing in the living room, and her round eyes looked straight at the three sheep in the yard, as if she were looking at some strange thing.
It's just that soon he was not satisfied with the eyes and was going to the courtyard.
When Yun Niang saw this, where was she willing to let him go outside, it was cold, and the villain was not allowed to freeze to death.
"Grandma's little girl, how cold it is outside, let's not look at it now, and bring the lamb in later, so that you can see enough."
The little pumpkin was twisted into a twist in Yun Niang's arms, and seeing that Yun Niang still refused, she began to call her mother.
"Mother, want, mother, want."
Tong Yao walked in, subconsciously flicked the cold air on his body, and then looked at the little pumpkin who was a scoundrel with Yun Niang, and glared at him angrily.
"Didn't grandma tell you well, little children just don't have any patience."
Where can the little pumpkin understand the meaning of his mother's words, and stretch out his hands towards the nursery rhyme.
"Mother, yes."
The nursery rhyme had no way to take him, so she held him in her arms and snorted.
"Stinky boy, are you gaining weight again, or are you wearing more clothes?"
The little pumpkin didn't know that his mother was disgusting him, so he made a strange face towards the nursery rhyme, that is, he stretched out his chubby hand and pointed at the lamb outside.
"Yes, yes."
The nursery rhyme nodded his nose.
"It's cold outside, and when the sheep is inside, let's go see it."
The little pumpkin saw that her mother didn't move, her little mouth was flat, and she was about to cry.
The nursery rhyme was used to seeing such a scene, so he didn't mean it, and said to Zhou Niang and Dong Niang.
"There is no shed in the yard now, so for the time being, we will pile up some straw under the eaves for them, and then put up some planks for them, so that they can be raised first."
"Yes."
The nursery rhyme hugged the little pumpkin and walked towards the inner courtyard.
The little pumpkin refuses to behave in the arms of nursery rhymes.
"Bad, bad."
This is said to the nursery rhyme, but fortunately, this kid did not cry, which is what the nursery rhyme likes the baby the most.
The nursery rhyme just smiled, and took her face to rub the little pumpkin's face.
The little pumpkin said that she was very angry, pushing the face of the nursery rhyme with both hands, and talking vigorously in her mouth.
"Mother, bad, bad."
Nursery rhymes Listening to his fairy tales, there is a smile between his eyebrows and eyes, this stinky boy!
In the blink of an eye, the New Year came, last year, Tong Yao remembered that their family also did the business of peanuts and melon seeds, but this year she was too busy, so she didn't do it, and she had already given the methods of peanuts and melon seeds to the Xiao family in advance.
Of course, this is not given in vain, the Xiao family gave the nursery rhyme two hundred taels of silver.
The nursery rhyme was not disgusted with less, and happily accepted it.
"Nursery rhyme girl."
Bai's voice rang out outside the courtyard.
The nursery rhyme glanced at Xiaolan.
Xiaolan put down the work at hand and walked quickly outside, and after a while, Bai walked in with a smile.
"Nursery rhyme girl, today is already twenty, but the New Year's goods at home are ready?"
The nursery rhyme made her sit down and smiled.
"How can I be, I haven't gone out much these days, I'm looking forward to being a husband in my heart, and I really don't have the heart to prepare these."
Bai's face softened, and he looked at the nursery rhyme cautiously and asked.
"What's the matter, Brother Chen can't come back this year?"
The nursery rhyme lowered her head, she knew in her heart that her father-in-law would definitely not be able to come back during the New Year, and the neighbors would definitely ask at that time, so it was better to make things clear through Bai's mouth now.
"He sent a letter, saying that when he rushed back, there was some accident on the road, and he suffered a small injury on his leg, so he said to rush home as soon as possible, but he was injured in this winter, and the wound was slow to heal, although he was still young, where could he not use his body properly, I wrote to him not to worry, even if he didn't come back this year, it doesn't matter, nothing is important to have a body."
When Bai Shi heard this, she looked at the nursery rhyme with a somewhat complicated expression, but she just looked at the nursery rhyme with worry on her face, it was for Chen Xuan, she was not good at saying what was in her heart, so she could only comfort her.
"Okay, don't worry, Brother Chen may not be able to come back this year, so it doesn't matter, doesn't he go out to earn money just to let you and the little pumpkin live a good life, he is not here this year, you also have to live well, no, I came here to tell you, let's not buy this pork separately outside, it's better to ask someone in the countryside to see if you can buy it whole, half of it is used to make bacon, half of it is used to freeze, and you can eat it after a year."
This is really not wrong, the nursery rhyme counted the number of people in the family in her heart, how can there be more than a dozen people, if there are meat dishes at every meal, a pig will not be able to eat for long, and there should be no meat sellers outside during the New Year, she thought about it and said.
"Well, I'll buy two pigs."
Bai Shi was shocked, looked at the nursery rhyme, and made sure that she was not wrong, so he smiled.
"Nursery rhyme girl, you will be able to buy meat after the first month, will there be too many at both ends?"
"Not much."
The nursery rhymes have already been thought of, and she is going to make more sausages and bacon.
Seeing that the nursery rhyme had been decided, Bai nodded.
"In that case, then I'll contact me first, and then I'll bring the slaughtered pigs directly over."
"Keep the pig in the water."
Nursery rhyme answered.
Bai Shi looked at the nursery rhyme, she didn't ask much, knowing that the nursery rhyme was a smart person, and it would be useful to think that this pig would be able to go into the water, so thinking so, she was also going to leave her pig's pig in the water.
After saying that, Bai Shi left.
Yun Niang said at this time.
"We're going to have a good year this year."
She didn't ask the nursery rhyme why she bought so much meat, Yun Niang also thought about it, the affairs of the family are controlled by her own daughter, she only needs to take care of the little pumpkin, that is.
The nursery rhyme also nodded, it's the New Year, and she can't just live because Xianggong is not around, after all, the little pumpkin is still by her side.
The Bai side also moved quickly, and the next day the pig killer sent two pigs over.
It was transported directly to the yard by wooden cart.
The pig killer did not leave immediately, but looked at the nursery rhyme with a smile.
"This lady, this pig has been dealt with, but I don't know how you want to slaughter it, you say now, I can help you slaughter it now."
Seeing that he spoke politely, Tong Yao nodded.
"You just follow the weight of the pork you slaughter on a regular basis."
"Okay."
Zhou Niang and Dong Niang are both nimble, and soon got a basin from the kitchen to hold pork, and the pig killer is also skilled in cutting the pork.
The nursery rhyme saw that the meat was slaughtered well, so she asked Xiaolan to give the pig killer a reward of one or two silver, but the pig killer was so happy that she thanked her again and again.
Sending away the pig killer, the nursery rhyme looked at several large pots of pork, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help rising.
"Xiaolan, let's see if anyone sells pine branches of smoked pork, and if so, buy more and come back."
He also instructed Zhou Niang and Dong Niang on the side to choose some fat and lean meat and cut it into minced meat, this work was very tiring, and the nursery rhyme did not urge them.
That night, Tong Yao sat on a steamed basket of tamales, intending to treat everyone.
Xiao Xing, the eldest young master, seemed to have calculated the nursery rhyme that their family wanted to make good food, and it happened to be dinner time.
"Ah, it's a coincidence that I'm here."
His eyes glanced at the table, and it was food he had never seen before.
Chen Qing saw Xiao Xing's arrival and invited him to the banquet.
