"Yinyue, then let's go, come back in the evening." Kai jumped on the horse's back, clamped the horse's belly, shouted "Ride-", and immediately the horse turned around and went out of the gate.

"It's important to get down to business, you two hurry up and set off." Silver Moon urged.

"Got it, we'll be home before dark." Kai Room said without looking back. Seeing her husband leave, she felt an inexplicable sense of loss.

After sending the sedan chair man away, Yinyue hummed a little song and went into the wing, dressed up and tidied up in the house, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, so she walked out of the room quickly. By the time she chased it out, the sedan chair had been gone for a long time.

The woman's sixth sense is quite smart, and Yinyue vaguely feels that her husband is hiding something from her, especially the absent-minded reply just now made her heart very confused. When her husband came home from the scientific expedition, he was in a hurry to go out again because he didn't have a little intimacy with himself, and there must be a reason for it, because he is not usually like this.

Of course, someone is present, and you have to avoid suspicion of intimacy, forget it, I don't care about you. Hey, Baishui Village collects debts, won't it be to Gong Wenjing's house? Oh no, I heard that Gong Wenjing has a younger sister Lan Ping, who is not married yet, so the opening room will not be an opportunity to go on a blind date by collecting debts, right?

If it's true, my position in the family will be in jeopardy. No, I have to go and see what is going on, and make a reference for the opening room. If the girl is smart and virtuous enough to help her husband take care of the bank's business, I will be willing to give way. If you marry a spicy second room and come back, you will be jealous all day long, and make the chickens and dogs jump in the family, which is not a good thing.

The more I thought about it, the more unsteady I became, and now they should still be on the way to the rock embankment, and they can catch up with them if they ride a little faster. Yinyue didn't have time to change her clothes, so she quickly ran to the stable, took out a horse, and was about to step on the horse, when her mother-in-law, Xiao, came down from the attic.

"Yinyue, you just came back from your mother's house, where are you going?" Xiao asked with a smile.

"Go to Whitewater." Silver Moon rolled over and flew onto the horse.

"Aren't you tired?"

"No matter how hard it is, it's worth it."

"You just have a good rest, they went to Gong's house to collect the accounts, what do you have to do with it?"

"Mother-in-law, why do I always feel that Qi Room is worried about coming back from the exam this time?"

"I just saw him standing upstairs at the door of the trough for a long time, and he didn't enter the yard.

"The expected thing, as soon as he went to the examination room, he didn't answer the questions according to the examiner's requirements, and it was strange that he was not brushed off! I've persuaded him many times, don't get along with fame and fortune, he just doesn't listen, he does his own thing. ”

"Maybe it's better if you don't pass the test. Our Lao Zhu family has such a son, he is an official, who will take care of our family's 'Mao Shengxiang' money village and more than a dozen shops? ”

"Mother-in-law, where did you mean that? In business, my father-in-law is here, and I am there. As the saying goes, there are people in the DPRK and China who are easy to do. No matter how powerful and rich a businessman is, he is afraid of blackmail from the government. ”

"Well, too. When Mu'er was eight years old, I asked the fortune teller to calculate a hexagram for him, he was destined to be a merchant's life, and the imperial examination could not be counted on, hey......" Xiao sighed.

"Mother-in-law, you see that I have been in the Zhu family for some years, but my stomach is not angry......" Yinyue pointed to her flat lower abdomen and said shyly.

"Don't be in a hurry, when the opportunity comes, you will have the blessings of your own children." Xiao Shi took Yinyue's hand and comforted.

"But I'm anxious, the courtyard of the Zhu family is empty, and it's boring without children." Yinyue wiped the beads of sweat with a handkerchief.

"Why don't we bring some incense and candles and gizzard meat, and go to the mountain temple of Huang Nituo to worship the land mother-in-law and the land father-in-law?"

"No, there's no time."

"Why?"

"The book business in the opening room is too honest, the two of them went to the Gong family to collect the accounts, and the blind date is the truth. As soon as I entered the house, I saw his eyes flickering, and I knew that he had a ghost in his heart. I have to go to Gong's house to check his blind date. ”

"Scared, how can my daughter-in-law serve her husband as a counselor?" The mother-in-law laughed.

"Mother-in-law, think about it, if the opening room marries a watery daughter-in-law and comes back, I won't say anything if I snub you, if you don't respect your second elder, what should I do?"

"Oh. I understand. Xiao nodded, "Then I won't delay you, you can hurry up and ride after them." ”

"Thank you, mother-in-law, then I'll go." Yinyue whipped her horse, and the five-flowered horse obediently walked out of the house and galloped off the road to the west.

Yinyue was fluttering on the horseback, only to hear the wind whistling in her ears, and she couldn't help shouting in her heart: Horses, horses, you hurry up. If it's too late, I won't be able to catch up with my husband!

Pedestrians on the road saw that it was the young grandmother of the old Zhu family galloping on a horse, and quickly avoided it, and after the horse passed, the passers-by were at a loss: I just saw the father and son of the Zhu family on the rock embankment, the young grandmother is so in a hurry, is there an emergency?

"What's going on at home, let's guess there's a fart."

"The young grandmother in the Zhu family's compound rarely travels on horseback, which is not trivial." ……

Yinyue didn't bother to pay attention to the farmers, and she caught a glimpse of the stream flow in the ditch was much smaller than the previous day, a sign before the dry season. The source of the stream is in the Tiekeng Tohajing, and the upstream river channel is equipped with dikes everywhere to intercept the water source, and there is not much left of the river water at the end of the pond. The common people said that the owner of the well was Gong Wenjing, and that he had to charge a certain amount of water conservancy fees to the farmland downstream every year.

As long as the peasants carry their hoes to the wells and knock three times on the toad's head, it will rain heavily and the river will skyrocket. Of course, before going to knock on the toad's head, the water release team dug up the river all the way, beating gongs and drums along the way to issue an emergency notice, asking people to make preparations for the storage of water in the farmland. This time I went to Gong's house, I must ask Gong Wenjing to go to this Tohajing, who made him owe our family money!

"Phew-" Finally caught up with the father and son on a small hillside in Santang, and Yinyue restranded the horse's head.

Qi Mu, who was wearing a hat, saw that his wife was sweating profusely, and quickly stopped: "Yinyue, why are you chasing me when you are not at home to accompany your mother?" ”

"I'm going to Gong's house with you." Silver Moon said bluntly.

"Yinyue, go back quickly, how can there be a woman who comes to collect debts?" Bisheng lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, "Collecting accounts is our father's business." ”

"Dad, I'm not going back. Who says a woman can't collect her debts? Yinyue pouted, puffing and puffing.

"Only women and villains are difficult to raise. Let's go together, you can't talk nonsense then. Kai Room shook his head and said.

"Room ......" Bisheng was a little unhappy, and he was afraid that his daughter-in-law, who was straightforward, would commit a blind date, but when his son spoke, it was not easy to slap him in the face, so he had to nod and agree, "Okay, okay, there is no problem to go together." When you arrive at the Gong family, you can't say that you are the daughter-in-law of the house, or you won't make the family laugh off your big teeth. ”

"Dad, I remember. Today is the Day of Empty Hope, and Gong Yuanwai is probably not at home, so we may run for nothing. Yinyue pinched her fingers.

"If you don't say it, I almost forgot about it." Bi Sheng said with a smile, thinking in his heart, this daughter-in-law is not simple, not only can ride horses and martial arts, but also do business and fortune-telling, the only deficiency is that I have not given birth yet, it seems that I have to abandon my prejudice, "It doesn't matter if the silver can't be recovered, everyone has a time to fall, so you have to be forgiving and forgiving." ”

"Uh, I see. When I came, I saw that the water in the stream and canal had bottomed out, and the people had to go to the Python Well again. Yinyue said as she walked, "Why don't we push the boat along the water, keep our mouths shut about the silver, and only talk about the water source?" ”

"It's exactly what I want, and the hero sees it the same way." The opening room clapped his hands.

"I'm not a hero, I'm a woman." Yinyue smiled, "Aren't these all the tricks that Sun Tzu said in the Art of War?" ”

"Hey, mother-in-law, our bricks are worth a lot, 5,000 taels of silver is not a small amount."

"Take down a toad well, from a short period of time, the old Zhu family is a big loss, but ten years, a hundred years, generations, in the long run, we don't lose, we lose the small family, benefit one party, it's worth it."

"You two, you're really a husband and wife." Bi Sheng lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and said with a smile, "If you add me a big fat grandson to hug me in the coming year, the old Zhu family will have a successor." ”

Talking and laughing all the way, the group soon arrived at the door of Gong Wenjing's house, the door of his house was closed, only a black dog was lying in the shade under the eaves and sleeping soundly, and it didn't know that it was coming.

"Host, here." Qibao and a few of them got off the sedan chair and whispered to the inside of the sedan chair.

"Hmm." The old man Bisheng came out of the sedan chair, picked up a tube of dry tobacco and lit it, and was not in a hurry to knock on the door, and walked around in front of the door of the Gong family, "Room, how about you look at the feng shui of this homestead?" ”

"Feng Shui takes turns." Yinyue said with a big grin, looking around, holding her hands behind her back, "Feng Shui, I will also do a little." Dad, you see that although this yard is not big, the eight maple trees around it are towering, lush, and vigorous, forming an arc to guard the courtyard. Houlong Mountain is very majestic and magnificent, several sections of the dragon, thousands of layers of mountains, unstoppable. The courtyard is condescending, and when you look down, you can see the village. But ......."

"But what?" The sedan driver asked.

"Still don't talk about it." After Yinyue finished speaking, she walked straight to the door and gently clicked the knocker. The black dog under the eaves suddenly opened its eyes, jumped up, grinned, rushed to Yinyue's feet, circled around her, and then grabbed her trouser leg, pulling her back desperately.

"Yue'er, be careful—" Kaimuro exclaimed, and a flying body flew to Yinyue's side, touching the black dog's back, "Kuroko, don't bark, I'm your master's friend." ”

Unexpectedly, the black dog actually let go of its mouth, wagged its tail, kept rubbing his trouser legs, and buzzed coquettishly.
