Looking at this front so closely, you can see it more clearly, the girl in the whole family looks delicate, but she is not the kind of sick and sorrowful, her eyebrows and eyes look stretched and generous, but she does not look childish.

ran into Mrs. Li and Mei Xiaotong head-on, but they politely avoided it to the side.

Mrs. Li and Mei Xiaotong had great eyes, and they saw that the clothes on the girls of the whole family were made of auspicious cloth, and the color could not be dyed anywhere else except for auspicious cloth.

This fabric is thick and dirt-resistant, although most people buy it back for the men in the family to wear, but this girl of the whole family does not look old-fashioned when she wears clothes on her body, but because of her white skin, she looks more and more tall.

Jin Dou was so close to the girl that he could see the eyelashes of the girl so close that he was at a loss for a while, and he couldn't even take a step.

It was Mrs. Li who kicked without a trace, and then kicked Jin Dou back to her senses, lowered her head, and even her neck was red.

However, Mei Xiaotong smiled and nodded at the girl in the family: "This girl, I see that you came out of the embroidery village and want to inquire about something with you, I don't know if it's convenient?" ”

When the girl of the whole family heard this, she stood still, saw Mei Xiaotong combing the woman's hair, and nodded with a smile: "What does this lady want to inquire about?" ”

Mei Xiaotong stepped forward and said affectionately: "That's the case, we are from Qilidun below, my family wants to do happy events in a few days, and if you want to do it decently, you need to buy some bright embroidery work, but we countrymen don't know which embroidery village in this town has a good job, and I saw that the girl had a good face and came out of the embroidery village, so I wanted to inquire." ”

When the girl heard this, she glanced at the three people opposite without a trace out of the corner of her eyes, the older old man and the lady who talked to her, although they were dressed plainly, but she embroidered and worked all the year round, and the quality of the fabric could naturally be distinguished.

The fabrics on these two people are all good, although there are no ornaments on the two of them, but looking at this posture, it really doesn't look like the countryside.

It was the descendant behind the two, she didn't dare to look at it more, only glanced at it, and knew that although the clothes on his body were not as good as the two in front of them, they were not bad.

Looking at the posterity with his head down and not daring to make a sound, his neck was red, and there were words from the lady in front of him, the whole girl estimated that it was to do a happy event for the posterity.

Although there were several turns in my heart, the girl of the whole family kept smiling: "This lady, if you want to say this embroidery village, there are only two in our town, not to mention anything else, this embroidery village is not bad, the price is also fair, and the shopkeeper has also opened a store in this town for more than ten years, and the neighbors know it." If you want to buy some embroidery work, you can't go wrong with them. ”

Mrs. Li clapped her hands: "That relationship is good, and the price is fair." Thank you girl, what a good girl! As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the hand of the girl and shook it.

Although the girl in the family was taken aback by Mrs. Li's actions, she immediately came back to her senses: "Auntie, what is there to thank for such a trivial matter!" Nothing,

I'll go first, don't delay the eldest mother! ”

As he spoke, he was about to leave.

Mrs. Li also let go, smiled and praised a few more words, and then pulled Mei Xiaotong into the embroidery village.

After taking two steps, he passed by Jin Dou, kicked again, and said in a low voice: "Don't be ashamed, keep up!" ”

Jin Dou lowered his eyebrows and followed behind Mrs. Li and Mei Xiaotong, and followed into the embroidery village.

The Qian family hated Mrs. Li, hated so much that her heart was dripping blood, and she had nothing to do on her face.

After packing up his things and leaving Qilidun, not only Jin Hai was happy, but Qian was also relieved.

It's just that it's easy to go, but when I went out, I remembered that this is not a county seat, and it's not easy to hire a car, so do you have to walk to the town on two legs?

Mei Yongan also thought of this question, and his face turned pale suddenly.

His injuries are not healed, how can he get to town? Isn't it his life?

"Dad, is there a carriage or anything in our village, let's hire a carriage to go to the town, it's freezing this day, and your body can't stand it." Mei Yongan looked at Mei Laozhu.

Mei Laozhu waved his hand: "Your father and I are in good health!" There are only ox carts in the village, and I have already told the people that they will come in a moment. Your family, who is weak, will carry the quilt on the kang in the house to the car for a while, so as not to suffer the cold. ”

Mei Yongan's face turned dark, and he still wants to take an ox cart? The mountain wind blows over the dozens of miles of mountain roads, where is there still an image in the town?

While he was struggling, An Huahao drove the carriage to the door of the old house, and without getting out of the carriage, he sat on the carriage and shouted: "Uncle, come out, Xiaotong asked me to send you to the town." ”

Mei Laozhu came out to take a look, and couldn't help but show a trace of satisfaction in her eyes, the little girl still has filial piety.

Hurriedly beckoned Mei Yongan's family to get in the car.

Mei Yongan's family saw that it was a carriage, so they hurriedly climbed up, and when they saw that the carriage was also cleaned up, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Mei Yongzhen was reluctant, but when she saw that Mei Laozhu was leaving, her tears fell down, and she was dragged into the house by Sun Mutou.

The carriage slowly drove out of Qilidun, and Mei Yongan was completely relieved.

Looking at the layout of the carriage, he couldn't help but ask Mei Laozhu in a low voice: "Dad, is this carriage owned by An Huahao?" ”

If you can buy this carriage, plus mules and horses, I'm afraid it will be dozens of taels.

This An Huahao can afford a carriage, and it seems that his net worth is quite good for the banker's family.

Mei Laozhu shook his head: "This is the family's carriage, your sister-in-law bought it back with money, and it is convenient for the family to collect mountain goods." ”

Mei Yongan's eyes became even hotter.

When he came back this time, everything didn't go according to his plan, and he thought that he had made amends, and his family should be able to accept him.

I didn't expect to be smoked before I entered the door, and the next thing I learned was that the Mei family was separated, and there was nothing to do with him at all.

Later, he was almost cut by his mother with a knife, and he had to leave first.

Come back this time

, but lost some silver, and the family's property did not even touch a hair.

At this moment, I heard that the family even bought a carriage, and I couldn't help but whisper about the Mei family's current property.

He asked the Qian family to trick Mei Yongzhen's words, but unfortunately Mei Yongzhen was also useless, only saying that she was not on the spot when the family was separated, and she didn't know.

But of course, I can't ask directly, but in a particularly happy tone: "When I came back this time, I saw that the situation at home was better, and my guilt was also slightly reduced." Now there is a new yard at home, and a carriage, thanks to the little sister! ”

No matter how many thoughts he has, Mei Laozhu still has nothing to say about the little girl's ability to make money.

Besides, he is still a little selfish, he is going to live in the county seat, and he wants to live with his in-laws, but the in-laws look down on the Mei family on the spot.

Now that the Mei family is much stronger than the Qian family, he also has to show off and raise his identity, so as not to look at the face of his in-laws.

Therefore, he was also a little proud: "Now most of our family's family business is earned by your sister!" It's our mountain goods business, but also rely on your sister to get up, this year alone this mountain goods business has earned hundreds of taels, otherwise where would there be money to build a new yard! ”

A few hundred taels! Not only Mei Yongan, but Qian's eyes also lit up.

In the past six months, they have done things for the county magistrate, and the silver they have received is only one or two hundred taels before and after, which is enough for them to live well in the county.

But the Mei family's business can actually earn a few hundred taels in half a year, isn't that ......

Mei Yong settled down, and quietly picked up Mei Laozhu's words.

An Huahao, who was outside, listened to the words in the carriage, his eyes were cold, he raised the whip in his hand, and every time Mei Laozhu wanted to answer, he drove the mule to the stone or the pothole deliberately.

The carriage was jolting and bumping, almost knocking out the intestines of the people in the carriage, where was there still spirit to speak.

Mei Laozhu couldn't help but asked: "Chongjin, why is this road so bumpy today?" ”

An Huahao replied seriously: "Uncle, a lot of broken stones were blown down by the wind on this mountain and fell in the middle of the road, and I couldn't do it." Be patient, I'll let the carriage go faster, and I'll be in town!" ”

As he spoke, without waiting for Mei Laozhu to answer, the whip in his hand was raised high, and he drove the mules and horses to speed up and trot towards the town.

When they arrived in the town, Mei Yongan's family turned pale and almost rolled off the carriage in a languishing state.

This way, they all doubted life, where was there time to talk, at the moment their legs were numb, and even their brains were numb.

Although Mei Laozhu is old, he is still relatively earthquake-resistant, and his face is quite good.

Anwaro sent them to the door of the town's carriage shop.

Mei Yongan got out of the car, ran to the side first, and vomited up the morning's breakfast, and the whole person felt better.

He is not stupid, he still doesn't understand anything, An Huahao is only afraid that it is deliberate, and he will be upside down alive

Seasickness.

While spitting and feeling ruthless, a wild boy from the countryside dared to use such a method behind his back, don't blame him for being ruthless!

Qian and Jin Hai also ran to the side and vomited in a drowsy manner, and it took a long time to recover.

Holding on to his spirits, he ran to the carriage shop and hired a carriage.

Mei Yongan disliked being too good at blowing wind at the door, and also ran to sit in the carriage shop, only Mei Laozhu was still standing at the door, looking at An Huahao, and stopped talking.

Mei Laozhu has lived so much, and An Huahao's deliberate tossing thoughts, he also sees it in his eyes.

Although I am not happy in my heart, this kind of thing can't be said on the surface, I just shake my head in my heart, Chongjin is good everywhere, it's just not good at all, I listen to Xiaotong's girl for everything, isn't this clear to Xiaotong and the old woman?

An Huahao didn't care what Mei Laozhu and Mei Yongan thought.

Seeing that the person was also delivered, he was about to leave in the car, thought about it, took out a piece of broken silver from his arms, and stuffed it to Mei Laozhu: "Uncle, everything costs money outside, you keep yourself just in case." Also, uncle, if Mei Yongan asks about the Mei family and Xiaotong again, you'd better not say anything! ”

As he spoke, he raised his whip, turned the car, and soon disappeared at the end of the street.

When they were gone, the chicken soup was served, and the smell was all over the house.

Mei Xiaotong couldn't help but swallow her saliva, she hadn't eaten meat for several months, she didn't get meaty, she was hungry.

scooped a bowl of soup for Mrs. Li and motioned for Mrs. Li to drink it quickly.

Mrs. Li felt sorry for her daughter: "Otherwise, girl, you secretly drink two sips, anyway, no one knows about our mother." Besides, this filial piety is not in these two mouthfuls of chicken soup. If I go in the future, you won't stay for three years, isn't this going to pester? You just mean to keep it for a hundred days, where is my mother willing to let you not even eat meat? ”

As he spoke, he fed the chicken soup to Mei Xiaotong's mouth.

Mei Xiaotong resisted the temptation of this damn chicken soup in the end: "Mother, you drink, I'll talk to the shopkeeper about something." ”

She hurriedly went downstairs, she was afraid that if she didn't leave, she would not be able to help but drink up the can of chicken soup.

When I got downstairs, the henchman was already waiting aside, and when I saw Mei Xiaotong coming down, I asked her to go aside, served hot tea, and then whispered: "The letter from the shopkeeper said that the matter of Yingzigou should also ask Xiucai Lady to help get a charter——"

Mei Xiaotong sat aside and took a sip of hot tea before asking, "What happened to Yingzigou?" Aren't there people left over here by you and Boss Zhang? Can't you be the master? ”

The henchman made a bitter face: "If things get out of trouble, we can come forward, but they haven't made a fuss yet, and now the people in Yingzigou are divided into two groups——"

It turned out that after the tea was transported to the capital, the Li family and the Zhang family here sent people to take charge of the follow-up affairs on the Yingzigou side.

For example, people were selected from the families of people who had promised to learn how to roast tea to be apprentices, such as teaching people in Yingzigou how to take care of tea trees.

Of course, there are still some people who stay in Yingzigou, survey the terrain, find a good location near Yingzigou, and prepare to build houses for the people of Yingzigou.

This contradiction was caused by building a house, or more bluntly, it was caused by the plan that Mei Xiaotong proposed at the beginning.

At the beginning, for the sake of the good of the people of Yingzigou, Mei Xiaotong proposed to take out 10% of the tea profits within ten years to distribute them to these hunters in Yingzigou.

Now the money for building a house is naturally deducted from this profit.

Although the tea has not been completely sold yet, it is not a matter to build houses for these hunters in Yingzigou, as well as to give them some hardship fees and share money, so that they can have more work on their hands, whether it is for the Li family or Boss Zhang.

Especially because of Mei Xiaotong's attitude, Zhang Yinbao is a good person, so he directly ordered his subordinates to advance most of the money in advance.

He was also kind-hearted, thinking that since Mei Xiaotong cared about this matter, he would do it beautifully, and he didn't have to wait until the tea was sold out, and then settle the dividends, and then build a house for the people of Yingzigou to share the dividends, how stingy is it?

It doesn't fit his style of acting as a big boss at all.

With his instructions, the subordinates of the Zhang family also handled things neatly, not only allocating silver to the people of Yingzigou to build houses, but also distributing dividends of ten taels of silver to each family, and said that it was given to them for use first, and it was impossible to say that it would be settled at the end of the year.

Where have the hunters of Yingzigou seen so much silver at once? O silver ingots of white flowers!

In addition, this house was also built, and the news spread, and everyone in the vicinity of the town knew that the hunters of Yingzigou had made a fortune.

As far as there are any ruffians in the town, they are specifically staring at those who get rich overnight and have no brains, and those who think of the law will cheat them out of their hands.

Those people were familiar with these things, and took the opportunity of those hunters to go to the town to buy things, and lured them into the gambling house.

The routine of entering the gambling house is a set, first let them win money, taste the sweetness, and then start to lose money, lose more and win less, and slowly enter the set.

One by one, not only are the ten taels of silver gone, but they also owe a lot of debts to the gambling house.

Those people only showed their hideous faces at this moment, and they either paid back the money or gave their lives!

How did these hunters know the methods of these people outside, and they were so frightened that they immediately said that they would pay back, but they didn't have so much money in their hands?

Those people in the gambling house have made a plan, but it's not simple, can't they pay back the dividends in advance for the next ten years?

The hunters of Yingzigou still knew that they were powerful at the beginning, this was all signed by the deed, and they only said no, and they only said no, and asked those people in the gambling house to give some time, and when the bill was settled at the end of the year, the money would naturally be returned.

But the people in the gambling house, just like the blood-sucking leeches, have finally been eyeing the fat cows over the years, how can they let go?

Let's just say that this gambling debt is all profitable, and by the end of the year, I'm afraid that the dividends of the ten years will not be paid off

Finish.

If it's fatal, get the bonus early, and pay off the gambling debts, and you can't say that you can still keep some.

Some people were moved, and some people came back to the trick and refused to obey, but they were beaten half to death by the thugs in the gambling house.

At this time, all the people didn't dare to say nothing, and after signing and drawing in the gambling house, they were put back in Yingzigou.

When he went back to tell the news, Lu Xiaoshan blew up first, and he couldn't wait to beat these people again.

But those who owe gambling debts were beaten one by one with blue noses and swollen faces, and knelt down first and said that they were wrong, but there was no way, otherwise their lives would be gone.

also asked Lu Xiaoshan, can you bear to see them lose their lives one by one?

Coupled with the fact that their family members are old and young, hugging and crying, what does Lu Xiaoshan say?

Of course, there are also those who are clear, insist on disagreeing, and the Xiucai lady has earned such a bright way for Yingzigou, and it has only been a few months, and the hard work of the Xiucai lady has been wasted? Can't you be so unconscientious, okay?

If it weren't for the talented lady, the people in their Yingzigou would still be hungry and full, and their stomachs would not be full.

Tearing up the deed like this, doesn't this make Xiucai Lady embarrassed?

Therefore, the eagle ditch was divided into two groups and stalemate.

Of course, they also knew that they were hiding this news from the people sent by the Li family and the Zhang family.

may be sent by the Li family and the Zhang family, but it can be an ordinary person, first have a feeling, and then listen to a few words, and then look at the people behind their backs to inquire, don't they know everything.

This matter was immediately reported by them, and Li Jiushao and Zhang Yinbao knew about it.

For them, this is just a trifle, what does the Orion of Eagle Gully have to do with them? It's just an obstacle to Mei Xiaotong's face.

If you really want to solve it, you can move your fingers, but you are just afraid of hurting the jade bottle.
