Chapter 118: Tension

Xie has a lot of family, so the journey that should have been very short has become extraordinarily long.

It was clear that they set off very early, but it was not until noon that they arrived in the county seat.

At this time, the county seat is lively, and everyone who has been busy all morning begins to rest slightly. The county town is not big, but it is not small, and many of their carriages entered the city gate, which naturally wanted to arouse the ideas of others.

Chu Yue sat in the carriage, and she could hear the voices of people outside talking about them: "I heard that this is the Xie family from Pearl Village?" Look, it's nothing special. It's just that there are more people in the heavier population, what can they do? ”

"Hey, don't underestimate the Xie family! If you don't have the ability, can you escape from the dying place in Pearl Village? I heard that they have learned how to cultivate pearls, and the future is bright! ”

"Ah, are we going to have such characters in the East China Sea?!"

……

Chu Yue actually didn't like this feeling of being in the spotlight at all, but she knew that the road they took would always have to face this.

Xie Siyun, who was beside him, had been closing his eyes all the time, and when he heard the people outside talking like this, he opened his eyes and looked at Chu Yue: "Are you ready?" ”

Hatsuki naturally understood what he was talking about, and the most difficult moment was probably in the past. The future is promising, but there are still many unknowns waiting for them!

Fortunately, on this day, although everyone was busy, it was also because of this busyness that no one came to disturb their three rooms.

In fact, compared to a place as big as Pearl Village, the courtyard where their three rooms are located in the county seat is really a bit small.

But the little ones are a little smaller, whether it is Chuyue or Xie Shen's, they all like this home that belongs to them very much. And they have never relied on anyone, it is a home that they have won through their hands and hard work.

After entering the house and unloading everything, Xie Siyun gave Chu Yue a task: go to the market and find someone to buy some maids and maids.

Although the first moon is from the modern era, it is also willing to follow the rules of this world.

And now that they have more and more things, they really need someone to take care of Xie Shen's family.

Hatsuki took Yaren to the market, and it was really the first time he had seen Renyazi. In this day and age, human teeth are a legitimate profession. And there is a great demand for slaves, so the profession of human teeth can even be said to be very profitable.

Most of the people trafficked by human teeth were slaves sent out of conviction from above. Slaves in this era were cheap and very inhuman.

The slaves in our family had children, and their children would be branded as slaves at birth. If you meet a good master, you can spend money to restore the freedom of those slaves, and you can still earn the status of a good citizen.

Or maybe there are some slaves with good looks who marry good people and become concubines, although she may not be able to get rid of slavery in this life, but her children will no longer be slaves.

There is also an even more legendary one, that is, a slave woman married a eunuch family as a wife, not only can she get rid of her slavery, but she can also jump on the branch to be a phoenix. Of course, this kind of legend that "violates the norm" in this era is only one or two examples throughout the ages.

Looking at these poor slaves like lambs to the slaughter, Chu Yue felt that his reincarnation was at least not a slave, even if it was God's favor.

They have just come to the county now, firstly, they should not be too public, and secondly, the population of the family is not large, so Xie Siyun means that choosing two girls and two small girls is enough for them to have three rooms. Choose a mother-in-law and a family member for your grandfather and grandmother, and they don't have to worry about it in the next room.

In the early moon, the selection of people must have followed several requirements: First, the family background is innocent and clean. Don't want those who come out of other big families who are cautious, they are probably more neat and careful, but people's hearts are unpredictable, and they may not be able to surrender.

Second, the girl's appearance should not be too beautiful, and the family should not be too thoughtful. One is to provoke criticism, and most of the people who come with good skin are unwilling to be slaves. Always have to cause trouble, how can the family be peaceful?

According to the request of the early moon, Renyazi quickly found the person.

Most of the people that Chu Yue picked for her own room were younger. Such a child is easy to control and simple-minded.

After choosing to go home, it was obvious that Xie Siyun was also satisfied.

The two little girls looked timid, one thirteen and the other fourteen.

The thirteen-year-old one was named "Haruhi" in the early moon, and the fourteen-year-old one was named "Summer Sui". Both of them accompanied Xie Siyun with the surname "Xie", Xia Sui mainly took care of Xie Shen's family, and Chun Ri took care of Chuyue and Xie Siyun, and they didn't do too much small work on weekdays.

The two little guys named Xie Siyun, one was called "Xie Cheng" and the other was "Xie Yang". It's not as good as the name from the beginning of the moon, but they all like it very much.

Xie Shen complained that they spent money indiscriminately, and at the same time, he also felt sorry for Xia Sui, a little girl who didn't even know whose parents her own, still had her with her.

After I was busy here, I heard the sound of firecrackers in the big room and the second room.

They thought it would be more high-profile to move to a new house, but it made Chu Yue frown in the end.

And there is another reason why the big house is so high-profile: they actually took Yan Zhenzhen over and lived directly in the big house. In the name of beauty, she came to take care of Yan Sulan's body, but in fact, what is it, just looking at her so diligently coming to deliver pastries to Xie Siyun, you know a thing or two.

As soon as this Yan Zhenzhen was sent away, someone immediately came to the door to give a gift.

Chu Yue had never seen it, but the man said that he had already admired Xie Siyun's name and wanted to meet Xie Siyun to go out for a drink together.

When no one knew about it, it was obscurity. Now that he has a little reputation, naturally someone will come to the door, which is also right.

After Xie Siyun rejected the man, he suddenly heard Xie Jiangqi's cry.

For the Xie family, maybe only this little sister cares.

Sure enough, when I ran to the fourth room of the Xie family, I saw Xie Jiangqi pulling with a mother-in-law.

That woman...... Chu Yue looked a little familiar, and took a step forward to realize that this was not the mother-in-law who was in charge of guarding her when she was in the Zhou Mansion that day?

Why was Cui Ya accepted as a concubine by the surnamed Zhou for a long time, and she didn't give up on taking Xie Jiangqi away when their Xie family first came here?!

Seeing her pulling appearance, Chu Yue's anger didn't come to one place, stepped forward, and dragged her away viciously: "What are you doing?!" ”

That person had already seen the power of Chu Yue, and now Cuiya also had a status in the Zhou family, so he instinctively shrunk his neck: "You...... Why is it here?! ”

There were other people around, and Chuyue had to pretend not to know this person: "Who are you talking about?" Have I seen you? ”

The mother-in-law didn't want to cause trouble, so she only took a step back, and then she made her intention clear: "In the future, she will be our aunt, the lord asked me to invite her to a gathering, and look at your Xie family is also chaotic, she has nothing to do here, why can't she go?" ”

Before Chu Yue could say anything, Xie Siyun stepped forward.

He stood in front of the mother-in-law, like a dark cloud on the mother-in-law's head, oppressing her: "Now that Xiaoqi has not yet entered, he will invite him privately, what is the rule?" ”

The woman took a step back and swallowed: "Yes...... It's what our lord means. It's said that it's a matter of time or time, and it's always good to meet first to get acquainted. ”

"Yes, I also asked Xiao Qi to go!"

As she spoke, Yan Sulan from the big house came out of nowhere, looking at Xie Siyun and Chu Yue with her hands crossed, looking like a fighting: "I heard that you went to Renyazi to pick slaves and maids today?" I only picked two powerful ones for your grandfather and grandmother, but you also forgot about our uncles and aunts, right? Since you forgot it, why did you come to the four rooms to talk a lot? Now that I'm in charge of Xiao Qi, are your hands stretched too long? ”

Seeing Yan Sulan like this, Xie Jiangqi was so frightened that he hid behind Chu Yue, and sobbed: "Sister-in-law, I'm not going!" Please, can you help me? Last time, last time he did something to me, if I was allowed to go, I would rather die! ”

"Nonsense!"

Yan Sulan simply dragged Xie Jiangqi out, and in front of Chu Yue and Xie Siyun, she also reprimanded unceremoniously: "He is your future husband, can he still eat you when he meets?!" Fifteen days from now, you'll be married! Don't you know how many things people gave you four rooms? Who are you embarrassing?! How did he become so obedient in the past, but now he has become so eccentric? ”

As she spoke, she also glanced at Xie Siyun in a weird manner: "You can't learn to be a white-eyed wolf like others, you don't even know who raised you!" The Zhou family is rich, and you are the most favored one when you marry, what are you afraid of? ”

Chu Yue really couldn't hold back, rolled her eyes at Yan Sulan, and forcibly pulled Xie Jiangqi back: "What Auntie said is not appropriate, right?" Now that he hasn't passed the door, he has to let Xiao Qi go to the house surnamed Zhou alone, which is not in accordance with the rules. It's spread out that others are talking about the gossip of our Xie family, and my aunt doesn't care about her own face, and she has to think about her grandfather and grandmother, right? ”

moved the two elders out, and finally blocked Yan Sulan with nothing to say.

She snorted coldly, as if she was angry at the fact that she didn't give them servants today, and walked up to Chu Yue, regardless of tearing her face: "Okay, you can protect her for one day, and wait for the day she gets married - can you protect it too?!" ”

Chu Yue looked directly into Yan Sulan's eyes without fear: "It's my ability to protect one day, so I don't have to worry about my aunt!" ”

The two of them were tense for a while, and neither of them gave in.

It was still that Zhou family sent someone to speak in the mother-in-law's ear, and the mother-in-law retired first, and the atmosphere eased down slightly.
