If it had been a few months earlier, it would not have been a big deal to learn the news of Qi Huan's death.

However, now that the Qi family is dead, the Holy Lord has put the last bit of hope on Qi Huan, but now that hope is shattered, the Holy Lord is afraid that he will be furious.

But now, there is no way, you can't conjure up something out of thin air, right?

Governor Chen wiped his face: "I can only play according to the truth!" This Qi Huan died more than ten years ago, and if she wants to think about it, that important thing can't be on her, she is just a woman, how can the Qi family hand over such an important thing to her? ”

Speaking of this, Governor Chen's eyes suddenly lit up: "Moreover, after Qi Huan died, the last person to bury her was Duke Wei-"

After Zhu Haoran was stunned for a moment, he also showed joy: "That's right! ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, both of them breathing a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Where are the strongmen?

Could it be that he heard the commotion and knew they were coming, so he ran away?

The two officials looked at each other: "Where did the strongman run?" Where is the back door of your shop? ”

As he spoke, he was going to chase after him.

The shopkeeper hurriedly shouted to the two officials: "Poor master! Bad master! Don't leave! The strongman is here! It's her—"

The Fang clan next to him heard that the poor master was coming, and hurriedly poked his head out of the corner: "Poor master!" That's her! Arrest her to the yamen! ”

The two officials suddenly darkened their faces, and they were talking nonsense in broad daylight? Who are you fooling? This is a delicate, beautiful little lady, looking like that, she is probably scared stupid, she didn't even run out, she actually said that she was a strong man? Just say it's better to rob yourself!

At that moment, one of the officials stuffed back the knife that had been unsheathed, and said dissatisfiedly: "I said the shopkeeper, our brothers are very busy on errands, and they don't have the time to listen to your jokes!" If there is really a robber or a thief or something, our brothers will chase after them without saying a word, but you casually point to a little girl and say that people are strongmen, is this when our brothers are blind? ”

After speaking, he glanced at Mei Xiaotong.

Mei Xiaotong looked back innocently and weakly.

When the two officials saw the little lady like this, they became more and more angry, even if they were filial piety on weekdays, they shouldn't tease them like this, right?

Although they are just errands for the yamen, they represent the yamen! If they all make fun of the people of the yamen like this, will they have to do it?

The shopkeeper was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, and swore a curse: "Two bad masters! It's really her! She was the one who smashed our shop like this! I swear!! ”

The Fang clan and the guy on the side nodded in agreement.

The servant looked at the weak Mei Xiaotong suspiciously, and then looked at the red-eyed and white-faced, eager to swallow Mei Xiaotong and eat the shopkeeper and Fang's family, but he still didn't believe it.

One of them thought for a while, turned around and asked Hu Lao Er: "Hu Lao Er, you have been here for a long time, what is the situation?" ”

The smile on Hu Laoer's face froze, and he couldn't help but look at Mei Xiaotong.

Mei Xiaotong looked at Hu Lao expressionlessly

Two.

The flesh on the back of Hu Laoer's neck tightened inexplicably, and he was busy haha: "This, we have been like this when we came, and we haven't seen anything——"

The shopkeeper and the Fang clan were anxious, especially the Fang clan, when they saw that there was a servant present, they were full of confidence, and rushed out of the corner: "You are talking nonsense! Didn't you watch from the door when she just smashed our shop? Why do you help her talk now? Bad master! Bad master! They can't say they're all in this together! Arrest them all! ”

Hu Lao Er is also anxious, there are rules for being idlers, they like to watch people lively, but they don't like to be watched by others!

Seeing the suspicious eyes of the servant, he had to explain with a wry smile: "The two poor masters, they really wronged us!" We're really here to see the fun! No, you two ask everyone present, I, Hu Lao Er and my brothers, but I didn't even enter the door of the Tian family's shop, just watched at the door! ”

Hu Lao Er and their gang of idlers were originally born and raised in this street, and they were also raised by the old neighbors, and although they sometimes do things out of tune, they have never harmed the neighbors of the old neighborhood, and even because of their existence, there is no protection money on this street.

Who doesn't count the old neighbors in their hearts? Therefore, for Hu Lao Er, they are like nephews who are not successful in their own family, and they all have a bit of incense.

Seeing that the Tian family shop didn't know what was wrong, and they actually wanted to bite Hu Lao Er, the old neighbors suddenly couldn't stand still, and they all spoke: "No, they didn't go in this Hu Lao Er!" Our neighbors are watching! ”

"I'm watching too! We ran out of it, and Hu Lao Er and they just said a few words at the door, but they really didn't go in! ”

……

The two officials listened to the voices of Hu Lao Er and them defending, their faces softened, to be honest, they didn't want to conflict with Hu Lao Er and them until they had to, and when they saw that someone was proving for them, they nodded from Hu Lao Er and said that they understood.

Turning his head to look at the shopkeeper and Fang's family, his face was ugly: "The neighbors all testified that Hu Lao Er didn't enter the store at all!" Don't bite again, or you will be punished for a crime of slander! ”

Fang Shi gritted his teeth: "Even if that Hu Lao Er and they are not in the same group, but it was this wild girl who smashed our shop!" If you don't believe it, ask the people outside, and there are many guests who are scared out of this wild girl's madness! ”

The official glared at Fang's family: "Our yamen is on an errand, and it is your turn to talk nonsense from a woman's family?" ”

What else did the Fang clan want to say, the shopkeeper was more shrewd, and he saw the unhappiness of the servant, so he hurriedly blocked the Fang clan: "Yes, yes, we are reckless!" ”

The official looked at Mei Xiaotong, and his tone couldn't help but be gentle: "This little lady, you heard this shopkeeper and that woman say that you smashed their shop, but what do you have to say?" ”

Mei Xiaotong's eyes were red, and suddenly tears rolled in her eyes, looking like she had been wronged and had nowhere to say.

public office

As soon as he saw it, his heart involuntarily deviated: "Little lady, if you have any grievances, just tell us!" Our brother is in charge of you! ”

Fang's eyes were anxious, did these two poor masters have something wrong with their brains, or did they forget about the beauty at the moment, they were the victims, okay?

also asked Mei Xiaotong if she was wronged?

Where was she wronged? She smashed all her shop, can she still be wronged?

I couldn't wait to step forward to distinguish it, but I was pulled by the shopkeeper.

Over there, Mei Xiaotong opened her mouth aggrievedly, and said the ins and outs of the matter, pinching the branches and leaves, and said that Fang's deliberately tricked her into the store, knowing that she had filial piety, and had to introduce her to rouge gouache, she refused, and had to force it to her.

She said no, and was scolded by Fang's mother on her head, she couldn't hold back for a while, and accidentally smashed the store.

When the two officials heard the end, they were simply dumbfounded!

Looking around at the room where the walls around it are still intact and there is not a single complete item in the shop, I gasped, this is really careless! If you smash it carefully, you might be gone.

But what this little lady said is also that when it comes to filial piety, especially when it comes to scolding other people's mothers, as long as there is filial piety and blood, they have to work hard with others!

On the one hand, this little lady is also filial piety!

The two officials looked at each other, and they both saw the embarrassment in each other's eyes, this rouge shop was wrong first, and people fought back later, that is, the consequences were serious, what should I do?

The shopkeeper saw the hesitation and embarrassment of the two officials, and his eyes flashed, if they didn't find someone to take on this responsibility today, I was afraid that they would be unlucky.

Dead friends don't die poor!

It turned out that this flower garden looked like no more than fifty acres, but after the careful care of the Huang family and the Tian family, the flowers continued in all seasons.

In the past, in addition to supplying the Tian family's rouge gouache shop, there were also a lot of dried flowers, which were sold to medicinal herb shops or made into sachets or something, which was also a lot of income.

In particular, there is a greenhouse, which can cultivate some rare flowers and trees, and sell them to rich families during the New Year's holidays.

is such a small village and flower garden, in addition to supplying the Tian family at the beginning, it can also have one or two hundred taels of silver a year.

It's already pretty good.

Mei Xiaotong was also extremely satisfied in her heart, recognized all the helpers, understood the situation, and knew the situation in her heart, so that everyone dispersed.

Even Mrs. Qi nodded, such a small Zhuangzi is not that high-grade fertile land, and it is already very good to have these benefits for a year.

Mrs. Li couldn't keep her mouth shut, she only spent five hundred taels of silver, and she could return one or two hundred taels in a year, so wouldn't she come back in two or three years?

Imperial Physician Du and An Huahao watched from behind, glanced at each other, and still didn't say anything.

In the evening, they all went back to the house to rest.

Mei Xiaotong freshened up and laid out the bedding, but saw that An Huahao was still worried

sat in front of the window.

poured a cup of tea for An Huahao, sat opposite him, and then spoke: "But are you still worried about things during the day?" ”

Since An Huahao said that there was no more concealment with Mei Xiaotong that day, he naturally would not break his word and gain weight.

With a dumb voice: "Xiaotong, tell you something-" halfway through speaking, he paused again.

Although he could say in front of Imperial Physician Du that if something really happened, he would be separated from Xiaotong, but at this moment, in front of Xiaotong, he couldn't say these two words.

An Huahao only felt guilty, uncomfortable, hateful, and a little lucky.

Mei Xiaotong, whose eyes were complicated, was stunned for a while.

However, she immediately came back to her senses and smiled: "But for Lord Chen's coming today?" What's in it? Isn't it just that you can't hide your life experience? If you want to say that there is something wrong with your life experience, then Wei Guogong is a bastard, what does it matter to you? Could it be that you are still afraid that these rumors will not come true? ”

An Huahao's voice was dry and hoarse: "Why am I afraid of these gossips? It's not up to me to decide what my background is, I'm just worried that it will affect you and my mother-"

"We are a family, what do you say is not involved? It's a big deal, and now we don't have to worry about running out of money. When I get out of school, let's just take my mother and uncle together to go around and have a look, wouldn't we be happy? ”

"Otherwise, even if you are promoted, you will be lucky, you can be released after a few years in the capital, but if you are unlucky, you are afraid that you will have to survive in the capital for a lifetime. What is the capital? It is a place where there are many seven and eight grades like dogs, and five and six grades are all over the place. I can't say that I accidentally offended any dignitaries and nobles who can't be provoked, and I have to be a man with my tail between my legs every day, how aggrieved I am, isn't it? Mei Xiaotong understated comfort.

An Huahao knew that Mei Xiaotong was comforting herself, and became more and more guilty: "It's all my fault, I said that you don't need to tremble anymore and look ahead, but now, I'm afraid I'm going to break my promise!" I'm afraid that my mother will be disappointed in me at that time. ”

Mei Xiaotong waved her hand indifferently: "Mother is not that kind of person!" Her old man had already seen through it, Mei Yongan hadn't been admitted to Xiucai at the beginning, so what? As long as we are filial to our mother, my mother doesn't care about this! ”

While comforting An Huahao, she pondered in her heart, it's a big deal, she will learn from Mr. Yuan, and when the time comes, she will travel all over the world and look for natural hybrid rice? Cultivate and cultivate, and also get a high-quality hybrid rice out?

You must know that in this era, agriculture was the foundation of the country, although there were potatoes and sweet potatoes, but these were coarse grains.

Wheat and rice are the top priorities, and if we can really breed high-quality hybrid rice, we can increase yields.

This credit is reported to the imperial court, and it should be no problem to get an official.

An Huahao didn't know that his daughter-in-law was already thinking about opening up for him and getting an official, and he regretted and blamed himself over there, and said with great difficulty: "If there is really any accident, I have already asked Master, and when the time comes, I will be separated from you and let Master keep you safe."

Nothing. As long as you and your mother are safe and sound, I will be relieved! In the future, if there is something good and suitable for you in the future, you ......"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a tightness in his neck and difficulty breathing.

Raising her eyes, Mei Xiaotong smiled very dangerously: "Xianggong, what did you say?" I didn't hear clearly, do you want to say it again? ”

As he spoke, the force in his hand increased a little more.

An Huahao didn't dare to speak, but looked at Mei Xiaotong with complicated eyes.

Mei Xiaotong sneered, "I remember that someone seemed to have said before, life is my Mei Xiaotong's person, and death is also my death, right?" ”

An Huahao nodded with difficulty.

"Since it's my person, I didn't say I didn't want you, who gave you the courage to say goodbye?"

After speaking, he let go of his hand, took a cold step back, and looked at An Huahao.

An Huahao didn't care about the hot pain in his throat, and his breathing was not smooth, so he hurriedly rushed over and grabbed Mei Xiaotong's arm: "Xiaotong, I'm confused for a while, how can I be willing to part with you!" I just want to be with you for the rest of my life! I don't want anyone, only you! It's just, I just don't want to bother you—"

Mei Xiaotong sneered: "An Huahao, did I tell you that in my dictionary, there are only widows!" No dissociation? You can rest assured! If you really have this intention, I will definitely fulfill you! Without waiting for the adults and villains to come, I will kill you first and bury you next to your mother-in-law! Then I will give you the meaning to keep it for two years, and then recruit a little son-in-law to come in, and live in this village, and let you see it every day! ”

An Huahao exploded as soon as he heard this, he thought of separating from Xiaotong before, and he was so uncomfortable, but now when he heard Xiaotong actually say that he wanted to recruit a little son-in-law, it was like digging his heart and lungs.

immediately covered Mei Xiaotong's mouth: "No! I'm not at ease! I don't have to worry about dying! You don't want to be a widow! I'm going to die, dragging my last breath, and I'm going to die after you! I'm inseparable! I'll never mention the union again! Even if Tianmei Laozi comes, I want to be with you too! Life is your man, death is your dead man! ”

It's going to scare you, okay?

This is not right, it stands to reason that I am thinking about my daughter-in-law here, I don't want to affect their mother and daughter, okay? When the daughter-in-law hears this, if she doesn't say that she is moved, maybe she will be angry? But it's not like his daughter-in-law, who will kill himself when he opens his mouth, and remarry if he closes his mouth?

An Huahao almost cried.

Mei Xiaotong snorted coldly, "Remember your words today!" It's just for once, if I hear it a second time—"

"There is absolutely no second time!" An Huahao almost raised his hand and swore an oath.

Mei Xiaotong clapped her hands, turned over and lay down on the kang.

After a while, I heard the sound of Suosuo, and the lights in the house were blown out, and it was dark.

Then An Huahao carefully lay down beside her, tentatively reaching out to grab Mei Xiaotong's hand.

Seeing that Mei Xiaotong did not break free, he breathed a sigh of relief, and got closer

She hugged her into her arms, buried her head in her neck, a little bit of moisture dripping on her neck, cold and hot: "Xiaotong, thank you-"

Thank you! Don't give up! Thank you!

Mei Xiaotong closed her eyes and didn't speak, she knew that what An Huahao needed at this moment was not her comfort, but to accompany him so silently, telling him that he was not alone.

Thinking back, fortunately, it was said at the beginning, there should be no concealment between the husband and wife, and there is something to talk about.

Otherwise, if there is really such a day, she suddenly throws her a book of closure, I am afraid that she will really can't help but kill An Huahao first.

The most annoying thing is the so-called good for you, and then I take care of everything by myself, hide it, and have a bitter hatred, I am all for your good, for your sake and so on.

You're not me, how do you know it's for my good?

Count Anhua Hao's acquaintance, otherwise......

An Huahao, who was holding Mei Xiaotong, couldn't help but shiver and hugged the daughter-in-law in his arms tighter.

The next day, when they woke up in the morning, everyone found that something seemed to be wrong between the little two?

It seems that An Huahao is more attached to Xiaotong? More dogged than usual?

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Qi didn't know what was going on, but Imperial Doctor Du guessed a thing or two.

Find an opportunity to drag An Huahao aside: "Xiaotong knows? ”

An Huahao nodded, and then spoke in a voice that sounded regrettable on the surface, but could be heard by the actual dogs: "Master, I told Xiaotong yesterday, in case it is not right, I will separate from her, she will not agree!" ”

Doctor Du looked at An Huahao suspiciously: "What did Xiaotong say?" ”

An Huahao recalled the scene yesterday, and that idea of fear turned into sweetness: "Xiaotong said that she will only be widowed, and will not be separated!" ”
