Inside the Chunfeng Building.

"Lord Wang, I have already sent that girl back." The pro-soldier in civilian clothes came in and said respectfully, Le Zhengzhao was sipping a little wine and relaxing, and his eyes flashed when he heard the pro-soldier reply: "No one found out, right?" ”

"Back to the prince, she insisted on getting off the carriage when she arrived at the foot of the mountain, and no one saw her along the way."

Le Zhengzhao frowned and waved his hand to let people go down, Xu Chen on the side looked interesting, the prince who has always liked to spend time and drink has such a deep interest in a peasant girl, and asked with a smile: "What?" Isn't it tempting to care so much about other girls? ”

"Go! She is very different from others. And she's all hurt for me, so what's wrong with me being concerned? Le Zhengzhao rolled his eyes, still thinking about the injury on Chu Qingkui's leg.

Xu Chen drank all the wine in the wine cup and raised his eyebrows: "If the prince really can't let it go, why don't you go and see it yourself?" ”

……

Chu Qingkui went back to her home on the mountain, changed into women's clothes, put away the twenty taels of silver, and took the porcelain jar full of tea leaves down the mountain.

It has passed the season of tea before the rain, and the tea can only be made after the rain if the tea is collected in front of you. The taste of tea after the rain and tea before the rain is very different, and the taste is bitter, but there are many people who drink it.

As soon as Chu Qingkui returned to his uncle's house, he saw that his aunt was reprimanding his sister-in-law and younger brother, and the eldest aunt was still holding a broom in her hand and beating her sister-in-law, Chu Qingkui walked in with a cold face: "Auntie, what are you doing?" ”

The sister-in-law protected her younger brother in her arms, and the eldest aunt pointed at Chu Yun's and scolded: "Eat me and use mine, but now I can't even move it." ”

Chu Qingkui knew that she couldn't ask anything from her aunt's mouth, so she simply looked at her sister-in-law and asked, "Sister-in-law, what's the matter?" ”

Chu Yunshi pursed his lips, his eyes were full of grievances, his eyes were red, he bit his lip and refused to speak, Chu Qingkui was still a child, how could she be embarrassed to tell her such a thing? However, Chu Qingci got out of Chu Yun's arms, threw herself into her sister's arms, and sobbed quietly: "My aunt said that my cousin is short of money for studying, and I want my sister-in-law to sell the silver bracelet." ”

Chu Qingkui suddenly added three points of coldness to her face, her sister-in-law's silver bracelet was given by her brother when he married her. At that time, the family didn't have much money, but a few silver jewelry were considered a dowry. My sister-in-law has always been in love, and my brother has been in the army for so long in my previous life, and my sister-in-law will take it out when she misses him.

"Auntie, this silver bracelet is my eldest brother's dowry gift to my sister-in-law, why did you get the idea here?" Chu Qingkui stared gloomily at the eldest aunt, who still remembered the moment when she threw the knife, and was also afraid of her. Seeing that she was still holding the knife in her hand, she was suddenly stunned.

The eldest uncle came out of the house, glared at his aunt, and smiled kindly at Chu Qingkui: "Xiaokui, you know that your cousins and cousins are all studying in Suzhou City, and there are so many high-ranking officials in Suzhou City, he must have a good relationship with others." ”

"This bracelet is also for your uncle to respond to emergencies, and when your cousin has a chance, I will redeem this bracelet for you."

Chu Qingkui sneered, her cousin didn't learn any skills, and he also learned some ninth-rate things in Suzhou City. What's more, he pushed himself off the cliff, and it was even more impossible for Chu Qingkui to let his sister-in-law help him.

"No way, my cousin is studying in Suzhou City, that's your family's business. Why should I ask my sister-in-law to pay? Besides, didn't my father give you a sum of money before he left? Not enough? Chu Qingkui's eyes were a little impatient, and Chu Yunshi on the side didn't know what to say at this time, but he just reached out and pulled Chu Qingkui's sleeve.

The eldest uncle's face suddenly lost face, especially when he was about to cook, there were many neighbors at the door, and he let a junior count down, so how could he get off the stage?

"What are you talking about? Your father and brother kept the money, and it was for your care. ”

Chu Qingkui waved his hand and said, "I understand, I will take my sister-in-law and younger brother out to live today, although I am a woman, I also have the ability to support my family." I don't bother with my uncle and aunt. ”

Chu Yunshi was a little panicked and wanted to pull Chu Qingkui to persuade her, but Chu Qingkui waved her hand to her sister-in-law and asked her not to worry.

The eldest uncle and eldest aunt were stunned when they heard this, the two of them looked at each other, thought for a moment and said, "Okay, if you want to go, let's go." When the time comes, when your father comes back, don't say that we don't care about you. ”

Chu Qingkui raised her eyebrows, this move was smoother than she imagined.

The reason why she dared to move was because of the twenty taels of silver given by Xu Chen. There are many villages outside Changyu City, so she can go to the village in front of her to rent a house, and then she will go to the city to build a shed and sell tea. The tea trees in the mountains at home can't be picked endlessly, and it's a waste to keep them, so it's better to keep them for trading.

Chu Yun's clan was still a little uneasy, and Chu Qingkui signaled to her not to worry.

"Sister-in-law, pack up your things and I'll take you back to the mountain first." The firmness in Chu Qingkui's eyes made Chu Yun's family choose to believe her, and after packing up their things, they followed Chu Qingkui up the mountain again.

"Xiaokui, sister-in-law knows that you are for sister-in-law. It's just that if it's a bracelet for them, forget it, I think it's still a small ......."

Chu Qingkui knew what her sister-in-law was worried about, thinking that she and her younger brother were still children and no one could take care of them.

"Sister-in-law, I have a way to feed the three of us. Today I live in the mountains temporarily, I will go to the front village to see if there is a rental house in a while, and I will come back at dawn. I'm here at night, don't be afraid. As for Xiao Ci, he is very obedient and will not run around. Sister-in-law don't have to worry, my brother didn't give you anything good at the beginning, only these few silver jewelry, since they opened their mouths for the first time, if the sister-in-law gave it, there would definitely be a second and third time. ”

Chu Qingkui is not a person who talks a lot, just to persuade her sister-in-law, she is not afraid of spending some words.

"Sister-in-law, Xiao Ci will be obedient and won't run around." Chu Qingci stood aside with a serious face, he was the one who believed in his sister the most. And he doesn't like the uncle's house, and the uncle and aunt always scold the sister-in-law.

When Chu Yunshi heard her say this, he could only give up.

"Sister-in-law, didn't I catch a badger on the mountain yesterday, and I have already sold the fur, and it sold for twenty taels. I really don't have to worry about money, I'll earn money. ”

Chu Qingkui took out the twenty taels, and Chu Yunshi was very surprised: "I didn't expect this badger's fur to be so valuable." ”

"It's just that badgers are rare to meet, and my brother hasn't seen a few badgers in so many years of hunting." Chu Qingkui put away the silver, put the tea jar away, and thought about going down from Xishan to see the house in the front village for a while.

It's just that she hasn't left yet, Le Zhengzhao actually brought someone to find her. A foreign man suddenly came to the house, which shocked Chu Yun's family, Chu Qingkui frowned, and the little prince immediately asked those soldiers in civilian clothes to wait in the forest.

"I didn't know there were other people in your family...... Le Zhengzhao hurriedly admitted his mistake first, Chu Qingkui twisted his eyebrows: "Why are you here again?" ”

Le Zhengzhao forgot all the excuses he thought of on the road, and he was at a loss and didn't know what to do at this time. Xu Chen, who was on the side, walked over with a smile: "Miss Chu, I heard that you have a large tea mountain at home, and you are very interested in Xialiao tea, I don't know if you can cover this tea mountain?" ”

Chu Qingkui's heart moved, if this tea mountain was taken out, presumably the uncle and the aunt's family would have no reason to collect the money from the tea farmers, so they immediately responded: "Yes, just leave a piece for me." ”

Xu Chen smiled and said, "Of course, the girl can just use the tea to get it." ”

Le Zhengzhao smirked at this time, Chu Qingkui thought that he couldn't let them stay here for too long, so he went into the house and changed into men's clothes, took the silver and took Le Zhengzhao and them down the mountain together.

"What are you going to do here?" Le Zhengzhao stared at her legs, she didn't have a good leg on her feet, why did she always like to walk around?

Chu Qingkui felt very awkward with so many people behind him, but he didn't say anything: "Find a place to place your sister-in-law and younger brother." ”

Le Zhengzhao was stunned when he heard this, and blurted out: "I have a house near here, and I don't live there." Why don't I give it to you? ”

Xu Chen looked at the little prince with hatred, Chu Qingkui shook his head and said, "No need." ”

Le Zhengzhao turned his head and glared at Xu Chen, Xu Chen coughed helplessly and said, "Miss Chu, where do you want to buy or rent a house?" How big do you want to be a house? Maybe I can help the girl with a staff officer or two. ”

Chu Qingkui has always regarded Xu Chen as a businessman, but he didn't think much about it and said: "To rent a house, it's good to be in the village outside Changyu City, and it's enough to have two rooms where you live." ”

She knew very well in her heart that there was little point in buying a house, and it was only for her sister-in-law and younger brother, and she still planned to live in a room on the tea mountain, which was also convenient for her to pick tea and make tea.

Le Zhengzhao also came back to her senses at this time, she doesn't like to owe others, right? So he rolled his eyes, leaned up and said, "What, my house is not big, if you want to rent it, I will rent it to you first, it will be empty anyway." ”

Chu Qingkui raised her eyebrows, as if to check whether what he said was credible. Le Zhengzhao looked at her with a glint in his eyes, which made her suddenly feel a little soft: "Okay, then I'll go over and take a look." ”

Le Zhengzhao answered, glaring at Xu Chen and motioning for him to find a way. Xu Chen almost let out a mouthful of old blood, and beckoned the clever soldiers to hurry up and buy a house nearby.

Those who can follow the little prince must be smart and capable people, and the pro-soldier also bought a house in the closest place to Changyu City. The house is bigger than Chu Qingkui imagined.

"How much does this yard cost?" Chu Qingkui wrung her eyebrows and looked at the yard, not knowing if she could afford it.

Le Zhengzhao thought for a moment and said, "In this way, even if your tea mountain is given to me, you live in this courtyard." The accounts on both sides of us are considered to be complementary, do you think it is okay? ”

Chu Qingkui faintly felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't think of it. Xu Chen's face on the side was about to turn blue, and he still helped his prince to echo: "The price of the tea mountain package is also expensive, although this courtyard is a little bigger, but it is close to Changyu City and the village, and you can take care of everything." ”

"Alright, so be it. When can I move over? Chu Qingkui asked, and Le Zhengzhao on the side immediately said, "You can do it at any time." ”

Xu Chen was a little helpless, and in the end, Chu Qingkui decided to move over tonight and let her sister-in-law and younger brother live here.

When he was about to go back, Chu Qingkui was stopped by Le Zhengzhao again.

"That's a medicine for trauma, you...... Aren't you hunting often, this is for you. Le Zhengzhao was a little restrained and handed over the best stasis cream he asked for from the accompanying imperial doctor.

Chu Qingkui was stunned, and Le Zhengzhao was afraid that she would refuse and stuffed it directly into her hand: "Don't you still want to go back?" You...... Do you need me to send someone to send you? ”

"No, thank you." Chu Qingkui shook the round flat medicine box in his hand: "Thank you for this too." ”

Le Zhengzhao smirked until Chu Qingkui left. Xu Chen on the side couldn't stand it anymore: "Little prince, everyone has gone away." ”

"Oh......" Le Zhengzhao came back to his senses, and his mind still unconsciously surfaced when Chu Qingkui said thank you just now, the gentleness that flashed.

Xu Chen sighed twice, leaned over and whispered, "You are buying a house and sending medicine, you won't be really tempted, right?" I advise you to accept this thought, you are the little prince, even if the emperor agrees, can the eldest princess agree? ”

Le Zhengzhao flattened his mouth and was a little unhappy, and waved his hand to ignore Xu Chen: "Let people clean up this yard, and Xiao Wang, I won't go to Suzhou, just live in Changyu City!" ”
