Su Qi turned around in a voice, squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, and finally recognized that this was Aunt He from the same village.

The daughter of Mrs. He's family works as a maid in a big family in Taoyuan County, and her food and clothing are not comparable to these girls in the village, and her speaking demeanor is different from that of ordinary girls.

Especially after Aunt He's daughter was accepted as a concubine by a big family, this Aunt He became more and more unkind to look at people, and she couldn't wait to walk sideways in the village.

But since the news that Lu Li is a general spread, and after Xiaoman and Lu Li moved to Beijing last year, everyone's attitude towards Su Qi's family has changed.

Even Aunt He, who has always looked down on people, has a better attitude towards Su Qi.

"Sister He, I came to this mountain to go around, why are you here too?" Even if others treat him politely, Su Qi's attitude will never be bad.

As she spoke, Aunt He walked in, and suddenly found that Xiao Man and Lu Li were standing beside Su Qi.

She was stunned in place, and only rushed forward in surprise after a while, and she couldn't take care of Su Qi, so she hurriedly stepped forward to take Xiao Man's hand and said affectionately: "When did you come back?" Come back for a few days, live at home or stay in the city? Ouch, this person who is a lady is different, look at this style, I don't know, I must think that you are a young lady from a big family in the city! It's all Su Qi, you have cultivated well! ”

Although he knew that Aunt He was complimenting, in the face of such dense and exaggerated appreciation, Xiaoman still blushed.

"That's right, Sister He." Su Qi remembered what was going on, he pointed to the empty house, "Do you know who moved all the things in this house?" And the fence and wooden gate in the courtyard, where did they go? ”

Because of the fear of seeing things and thinking about people, Su Qi has only been to this mountain a few times, since he came back from Beijing, he has not been to the mountain, and now at first glance this thing is gone, he can't ask.

Aunt He, who was joking with Xiaoman, paused when she heard this, a trace of embarrassment flashed on her face, she withdrew her hand, and smiled: "Well, I've just been here for a few days, and I don't know about your family." ”

After speaking, Aunt He coughed unnaturally twice, "That, I still have something at home, so I'll go first." ”

Looking at the back of Aunt He leaving in a hurry, Xiao Man frowned and whispered: "Aunt He definitely knows something, otherwise how could she be so weak-hearted?" Dad, you said that there are a lot of people moving on this mountainside, where are they all? ”

Su Qi turned around and pointed to the forest not far from the cabin, "When I came before, they cleared out a clearing of the forest, and several families were building houses there, so it must have been built now." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Man and Lu Li, "Are you going to ask them?" ”

"Ask?" Xiao Man didn't have a good anger and snorted coldly, "I think they moved all our things!" ”

Although there are occasionally some very destructive beasts such as pigs and wolves in this forest, they will not remove everything in the house, let alone close the door after removing things.

Su Qi couldn't believe it, but seeing Xiao Man's resolute attitude, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "If it was really them who moved away, do you want to go and come back?" ”

"Why not?!" Xiao Man crossed his waist angrily, "It's all Lu Li's hard work, why do they want to move them all out?" Without even saying a word, what's the difference between this and a thief? ”

Su Qi opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, he just shook his head and sighed, and didn't say anything.

But he always felt that this was not good in his heart, for fear that Xiao Man would really go to the forest angrily to question the other party, but at the moment he didn't know how to persuade Xiao Man, so he could only look at Lu Li for help, hoping that he could persuade him.

Lu Li, who frowned and didn't say a word before, received his father-in-law's gaze, he lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and then said, "Xiaoman, do you really want to bring those things back?" ”

"Of course! That's all your hard work, why should you cheapen them?! Xiaoman bit his lip, angry and angry.

"Okay, then I'll go with you." Lu Li smiled lightly, and his tone was as casual as eating and sleeping.

It's not too much to get your stuff back at any time.

But Su Qi bowed his head helplessly and sighed, he thought that Lu Li was going to help him speak, even if he couldn't persuade Xiao Man, he would resort to an expedient measure, who knew that he would help Xiao Man and go to those people to get those things back.

They all took it, how can they return it so easily!

"Lu Li." Su Qi stopped the two of them, frowning and looking bitter: "You really want to move those things back?" ”

Xiao Man didn't turn his head and didn't speak, Lu Li smiled gently, "Yes, we want it now, do you want to go with us?" ”

Hearing this, Su Qi walked over quickly, and said bitterly: "You guys have been back for so many days, don't make such a big fuss, what if someone knows about it, what if he uses the topic to stab the emperor?" The emperor still doesn't blame you? Listen to my father's advice, or don't go, and live in our house for the next few days. ”

He is a good old man, but he is not to the point where he wants to give away his family's things, this is just because Su Qi is afraid that Lu Li will be affected by this, and he has seen the thrills of going to Beijing, so since then, Su Qi has become more and more cautious in his words and deeds, for fear of doing something wrong and causing trouble for Lu Li.

"They are the ones who did the wrong thing, even if this matter goes to the emperor, Lu Li can't be blamed for this matter." Su Xiaoman said angrily.

Seeing this, Su Qichang sighed, "Then don't go, stay at home first, and I'll take a look." ”

Although they are not wrong about this, if it is a big trouble, where can they say it clearly?

Xiao Man felt a little awkward in her heart, she bit her lip and said unhappily: "Dad, don't get involved in this matter, just leave Lu and I." ”

Her father will still live in Bishui Village in the future, what if he offends those people because of this, what will they do if they find trouble with him in the future? As the saying goes, a strong dragon can't suppress the head snake, according to Su Qi's personality, he must be bullied and will only endure it, and he will not go to Beijing to sue Lu Li at all, again and again, isn't that person even more arrogant?

Therefore, Xiaoman absolutely disagreed with his father's involvement in this matter.

The father and daughter were both thinking about each other, and for a while they were arguing over who should go to ask for things, and seeing that it was getting late, Lu Li on the side stood up to interrupt the dispute and proposed: "Since this is the case, then the three of us will go together, we will not make noise or make trouble, just go and ask, this is always okay, right?" ”

Xiao Man and Su Qi glanced at each other, exchanged their eyes, and finally agreed to Lu Li's proposal.

So the three of them got out of the hut and went out into the woods.

As Su Qi said, people cut down some of the trees and cleared the nearby weeds, creating a large clearing. There are a few stone houses that have been built in this vacant land, and there are a few places under construction, those people are from other villages, they all talked to each other when they saw Su Qi coming, but no one came to say hello.

Several houses are surrounded in a semicircle, like a small village.

Su Qi pointed to the houses that had been built and said, "There are a few people living in our village over there, if you want to ask, let's go to their house and ask first." ”

"Okay."

It was all people from other villages who were busy outside, and the two people did not know each other, so they did not say hello. Su Qi took Lu Li and his wife to the outermost room, and called loudly, "Brother Zhang, are you at home?" ”

Because the news that Lu Li was a big general was spread before, and later Xiao Man directly took out two hundred taels of silver to do business with Xiao Ling's family, the people in the village talked about it, and gradually, everyone began to spread that the feng shui on this mountain was good, especially Lu Li's small cabin, the feng shui was better.

This matter has spread ten, ten, hundreds, and even the people from other villages know about it - the mountain in Bishui Village has good feng shui! Build a house on the mountainside, and your own family may be able to produce a great general!

After all, this mountain is the closest to Bishui Village, so the first people to come to this mountain to build houses are also Bishui villagers, and later as soon as the news that Lu Li was named the Duke of the Kingdom came, people from other villages couldn't hold it back, and they ran to this mountain to build houses, which is why some houses have been built, and some houses have just laid a foundation.

Just as Su Qi was explaining, the man known as Brother Zhang came out.

A thin and black person, but extremely energetic, saw that it was Xiaoman and the others who came, and invited people in without saying a word, and made a gesture to kneel down and salute Lu Li, but was stopped by Lu Li, so he gave up.

finally stopped kneeling and saluting, Brother Zhang greeted Sister-in-law Zhang again, and the two took out all the delicious food and drink at home and placed them in front of Lu Li and Xiaoman one by one.

"Xiaoman, why are you back? Don't you live in Shangjing? Brother Zhang grinned with white teeth and asked with a smile.

Xiao Man smiled, and was about to speak, Su Qi interrupted in time: "This child is homesick, Lu Li will accompany her back to live for a few days, is it okay for you to live in this house?" No beasts at night, right? ”

As soon as he talked about this, Brother Zhang couldn't stop it, he talked about it, and finally said happily: "I have to say, it's really comfortable to live on this mountainside!" It's just that it's inconvenient to go up and down the mountain to work in the fields, and the rest is fine. ”

After speaking, he looked at Lu Li again, "Then where will you live after you come back?" ”

"Of course we'll go to the hut and stay there." Xiao Man snatched the conversation and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Brother Zhang and Sister-in-law Zhang were all stunned, looked at each other, and didn't speak for a long time.

The atmosphere fell into an inexplicable embarrassment for a while, and he could only hear the birds chirping around, and finally Brother Zhang couldn't stand such an atmosphere and took the initiative to speak: "Have you been to the wooden house?" ”
