The dumplings were cooked, and Xiao Yue scooped a bowl of each for Yang Changfa and Yang Xiaogu. Yang Changfa's mouth is big, one bite at a time, the dumpling skin is thin and delicious, and a bite full of fresh and tender soup instantly fills the taste buds. Aunt Yang also praised while eating.

Seeing the reaction of the two, Xiao Yue had confidence in the steamed dumpling business, and after eating, she sent the remaining dumplings to Xiao's house, and received praise from everyone, especially Xiao Xia who ate and shouted.

decided to make dumplings, Xiao Yue had to determine the filling, now that the weather is cold, cabbage will be the main dish for a long time, Xiao Yue decided to make dumplings with cabbage and pork filling.

After the autumn harvest, the people in the village will plant a little cabbage in the field enough to eat all winter, and their family now has land, so after the autumn harvest is over, Xiao Yue and Yang Changfa also planted three acres of cabbage, and then they can pickle some sauerkraut.

After more than 20 days, the servants returned, and when they came back, it was almost as if they were beggars entering the village, and everyone was covered with dirt, ragged clothes, and messy hair, and some were injured, and each of them lost more than a circle, almost like a fugitive.

Back in the village, everyone's tired faces showed a sincere smile. The children cheered and ran to their father, reaching out for a hug despite the dirt on their father's body.

When the women saw their husbands like this, tears flowed down their eyes, and they hurried home, boiled hot water, and cooked until the men finished eating and covered their heads and fell asleep, and then their hearts settled down, and no matter what, it would be good for them to come back.

Xiao Yue saw that the people in the village had returned, and she felt a little better.

On this day, An Anniang came to find Xiao Yue to go to the mountains to pick up mushrooms, just after the rain, the mountain road was slippery, both of them walked slowly, and they also met other people in the village on the way, after the autumn harvest, there was no work in the field, and the weather slowly became colder, and the people in the village began to store food for winter.

Xiao Yue followed An Anniang to a relatively gentle place, and mushrooms emerged from the ground one by one holding small ones.

Xiao Yue took out the cloth bag she brought and squatted down, picking up the mushrooms she knew, most of them were common oyster mushrooms, Xiao Yue also picked up shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, and even matsutake mushrooms.

The air in the mountains was particularly fresh, and she followed An Anniang back to her home.

When you get home, wash all the mushrooms and dry them in the sun.

Now there are dried eggplants, dried cowpeas, pickled cucumbers, and the sauce that Xiao Yue made for home, plus dried mushrooms, potatoes, cabbage, and radish, and in winter, there is no need to worry about cabbage and radishes all day long.

Xiao Yue was busy like a little bee, but she didn't want a catastrophe to come quietly.

Zhao Peng said hello to Yang Changfu when he wanted to do the sauce business some time ago, but then he didn't succeed, so he went to the county to find Yang Changfu in anger and complained.

Yang Changfu has been making money since he got involved with Feng Hao's cousin and started business together, and the more money there is, the more people demand.

When Zhao Peng complained, he didn't care, when he heard that the owner of Fuxingju knew the big officials in the capital, his heart moved, if he could know the big officials through him, then he would not be able to go up again.

is like his former brother-in-law's brother-in-law, who has now gone to the capital through relationships.

If you have a relationship, are you still worried about not being promoted? But he hadn't seen the proprietor, what if his second brother told a lie, or if the proprietor was a liar at all?

He felt that he still had to try the owner of Fuxingju, but he didn't know the situation of Fuxingju and didn't dare to start rashly, so after thinking about it, he decided to start with his second brother.

If something happens to his second brother and his second sister-in-law has no way to ask for help, then the owner of Fuxingju will definitely come to the rescue, and then he will be able to know what kind of person the owner is.

If you really know any big officials, then you will use the reason of arresting the wrong person and causing trouble to Fuxingju's business, and you will have to deal with the owner a few more times, and you will be worried that you will not have anything to do with him.

In Yang Changfu's thoughts, it was a matter of course to use his second brother, so he didn't think about anything wrong with deliberately arresting his second brother in prison.

He thought of a way to teach Zhao Peng, Zhao Peng was unhappy in his heart, and the two hit it off.

Since the sauce was made by Xiao Yue, if there was a problem with the sauce, Xiao Yue would definitely be arrested, but they could not have deliberately arrested Yang Changfa.

So after Zhao Peng returned to the town, he had been secretly investigating, and it was not until not long ago that he found a man who was about to die.

He discussed it with the family, and when the man died of illness, he went to the county government to file a complaint. and said that he had secretly taken care of everything, and as long as they went to complain, they would have the money.

I thought I would have to wait for a while, but I didn't expect the man to suddenly die for some reason.

He hurriedly told the family to file a complaint.

So on this day, when Xiao Yue, Yang Changfa and Aunt Yang were at home, suddenly a group of officials rushed into the house and wanted to lock Yang Changfa without saying a word.

Yang Changfa struggled to defeat two officers and soldiers, but the number of officers and soldiers was large, and he was quickly locked.

Xiao Yue reacted and hurriedly asked, "What are you doing here?" What crime have I committed? ”

The official pushed Xiao Yue away, "The sauce you made is poisoned, who will you take if you don't take it?" ”

Sauce to eat the dead? How can it be?

Xiao Yue shook her head, "Impossible, we also ate it ourselves, and it's all right?" ”

The official said: "I don't know about this, you tell the county master to go!" ”

After speaking, several people escorted Yang Changfa into the carriage.

Xiao Yue's house was full of people standing outside the door, I originally thought that I was thinking about something to help, but I didn't expect to see the official errand, they were all honest people who farmed, and they were all frightened when they saw the official messenger lock people.

Father Xiao and the Zheng family soon came over after hearing the letter, and Uncle Yang's family and Uncle Yang's family soon also came over.

Zheng hurriedly asked, "Yue'er, what's the matter?" How did Changfa get taken away by the official? ”

Xiao Yue's mind was blank, but she knew that she had to calm down immediately, so she took a deep breath.

"I also know what's going on, father, mother, uncle, uncle, aunt, don't worry, I'll go to the county town now to see, what's going on?"

Daddy Xiao said, "Okay, then you can go quickly!" ”

Zheng hurriedly said: "No, how can we rest assured that you go alone, or your father will accompany you!" ”

Xiao Yue shook her head, "Forget it, I'll go by myself, it's okay." ”

I don't know what's going on yet, so let's go on my own!

Uncle Yang spoke, "Don't be tough, you go out as a woman, even if you find someone, there is no way." Well, your father and I will go with you, and the rest of us will wait at home for news. ”

Everyone agreed.

Xiao Yue hurriedly went into the house and took all the money in the house, and it was impossible to go out to run errands without silver.

Aunt Yang also followed into the house and poured a pot of water on Xiao Yue, knowing that she didn't have the heart to eat, but water always had to be drunk.

She handed the water to Xiao Yue and said, "Yue'er, don't worry, otherwise your body will not be able to stand it, in case Changfa is fine, but you fall, isn't it going to make people worry again, Changfa, he will be fine, he ......"

Aunt Yang's tears flowed down her eyes, and she couldn't go on anymore.

Xiao Yue held back her tears and said, "It's okay, sister-in-law, I will definitely save Changfa, you should pay attention at home." ”

Aunt Yang nodded.

Xiao Yue followed Daddy Xiao and Uncle Yang to the town quickly, after arriving in the town, Uncle Yang went to hire a carriage, when the three of them came to the town, Daddy Xiao drove the ox cart, but when they went to the county, the ox cart was a little slow.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Yue went to Fuxingju, and after entering the door, the shopkeeper Gao greeted her, "Brother and sister, you are here, I was just going to look for you." ”

Xiao Yue showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said, "Is there anything wrong with Shopkeeper Gao?" ”

The shopkeeper Gao said: "I already know about the Changfa brothers, you take this jade pendant to Fuxingju in the county seat, I have already delivered the news to them, our owner happened to come from the capital, and he will arrive in the county seat in the next two days, with him, the Changfa brothers will definitely be fine." ”

As he spoke, he took out a turquoise jade pendant, which was engraved with a unicorn picture, and the auspicious clouds were stepping on the feet of the unicorn, and those auspicious cloud patterns carefully looked like the three words Fuxingju.

Xiao Yue didn't shirk and took the jade pendant and said to the shopkeeper Gao: "Thank you, I still have to go to the county, so I'll leave first." ”

The shopkeeper asked, "Do you want me to send someone to send you over?" ”

Xiao Yue shook her head, "No need, I came with my father and uncle." ”

The shopkeeper Gao nodded, Xiao Yue turned around and hurried away.

Yang Changfa at this end had been pressed into the carriage at this time, I don't know why the group of officials didn't torture him, the carriage rushed to the county seat quickly, he leaned on the carriage and closed his eyes, I don't know what happened to my daughter-in-law? She must have been terrified.

When he was on the way, Uncle Yang said that he would go to the county office to find Yang Changfu first, he thought that Yang Changfu was Yang Changfa's younger brother and a county minister, and it would be easier to find him.

Xiao Yue originally didn't want to go to Yang Changfu, in her thoughts, the people in the Yang family's old house would not do anything that was not beneficial, but she didn't know what to do in the county, so she could only go to Yang Changfu to try it first, and then talk about it if it didn't work.

After the three of them arrived in the county, they didn't waste time, and asked for directions and went straight to the county office.

The official guarding the door stopped them, "What are you doing?" Don't look at what kind of place this is. ”

Xiao Yue hurriedly took out five taels of silver from his sleeve and stuffed it to him without moving, "Brother Guancha, we are relatives of your county lord, is he here?" ”

The official took Xiao Yue's silver, secretly weighed the weight, smiled with satisfaction, and heard that it was a relative of the county Cheng, and couldn't help but hesitate a little in his heart, and asked, "Are you really the relatives of the county lord?" ”

Xiao Yue nodded and said, "That's right, I'm his second sister-in-law, and this is his uncle." ”

When the official heard this, he said, "Wait here, and I'll go in and tell you." ”

Xiao Yue hurriedly said, "Thank you, big brother." ”
