Chapter 204: The End

The weather was good in the first half of the year. The wind and rain were smooth, and the autumn harvest was completed at the fastest speed, and Ming Fei sold all the rice harvested to Fang Qi according to the original agreement, making a small profit. Seeing that August 15 was coming, he was in full swing to prepare for the festival, steamed moon cakes, prepared gifts, and according to the list, Gong Yuanhe's bosses, colleagues, subordinates, third aunts, Cai family, all kinds of relatives, shops, and Zhuangzi's big stewards were counted one by one. Even the servants at home also prepared moon cakes and other items and rewards, which were distributed a few days in advance to facilitate everyone to prepare for the festival.

She was busy with the festival, and Gong Yuan was also very busy there, just because the treasure temple that was created was about to be delivered, but at the critical moment, there was an accident where the wall was knocked down by an ox, and the people and horses sent by the imperial court to accept and bring the emperor's imperial pen to give the name of the temple will arrive after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Therefore, the entire Shuicheng Mansion was mobilized, and no one could get free.

The sunny weather lasted until the 10th day of August, and then it was drizzling. The rain never ended, the weather got colder, and a group of dogs were kept in the house all day long. Can't go out, very irritable, some big dogs even learn to howl wolves, Ming Fei is helpless, can only pick up the rain when it is a little less and let them jump around the garden a few times.

On the fourteenth day, there was a moment of sunshine at noon, Ming Fei didn't dare to take a nap, so he hurried to take Chasing Wind and Xifu to walk around the garden, and as soon as a thin layer of sweat appeared on his body, he heard a noise mixed with crying from next door.

She stood quietly under the wall and listened for a long time, only to hear that it was a woman crying and begging not to let her go. And I heard some say, "I have been defeated, where can we feed so many?" Naturally, everything that should be sold has to be sold. Listen to that meaning, but it's the next door that wants to sell people.

In a trance, it started drizzling again, and when Ming Fei returned to the main room, Hua Pozi had already come to report to God: "Grandma, the next door said that there was no money, and it was sold to more than 20 people in one go." Several people were kneeling and crying at the door, asking Grandma to show mercy and leave them behind. ”

Jin Hairpin sneered: "They came to force the uncle and grandmother again." If you really want to sell people, how can you have the opportunity to run to our door and cry? ”

Ming Fei said lightly: "What are you afraid of?" Who doesn't sell slaves and maidservants? It's normal to buy and sell, and it's not the second and third ladies who come to the door and kneel and cry, what do they do? Just close the door. If it's really unruly, let Steward Xue go next door to find the third lady, so that she can restrain her subordinates, don't be so unruly. "I thought it was doing so. Will they ask for help? What a joke!

Hua Pozi hurriedly talked to Xue Minggui, and Xue Minggui sent someone over to convey Mingfei's meaning, and the person crying at the door was really gone.

In the evening, someone came to report: "I really sold people, and Renyazi just took them all away." Some are separated from the family, crying like something. ”

Thinking of her separated daughter, Hua Pozi sighed with some emotion: "This is about to be a holiday, even if most people really want to sell people, they will let them leave after the festival, so as to show kindness." Now I can't wait to sell people without waiting for the holidays, is this really being forced? ”

For more than 20 people, staying for an extra day is a lot of money. These days, the money in the second room has been dispersed, even if it is harvested in autumn, it is still not enough to spend, can it not be sold? Ming Fei raised his eyebrows, "Go and ask Manager Xue to come." ”

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, Xue Minggui is fatter than when he first came, and he is much whiter, and he greeted Mingfei with a smile. said: "I don't know what grandma commands?" ”

Ming Fei invited him to sit down, and asked the golden hairpin to serve him tea, and asked him: "We seem to have a poor person in Zhuangzi?" ”

Xue Minggui smiled and said, "It's indeed a bad person." ”

Ming Fei said: "According to Manager Xue, among these people sold next door, can there be any suitable ones?" If there is, pick a few out, and it is best to have children in the family. ”

Xue Minggui said respectfully: "The villain will go and tell Ya Po that if there is such a good person, he will stay first." "Immediately went to find Ya Po in person, picked up the flesh and bones that were left in the second room, and the clever and clever people left a few, and sent them to the village Zhuangzi on the same day.

After Xue Minggui went, Hua Pozi stood under the porch to watch the rain and said, "This weather will be endless all of a sudden." I heard that the rice next door has not been finished, and more than half of it is in the field, if this rain does not stop, I am afraid that I will suffer a big loss. ”

Erfang's thoughts are all on Gong Zhongsu and Gong Yuanzhi these days, and no one cares about the things in the shop in Zhuangzi. Although the heads of the Zhuangzi know the agricultural time, they will hire people to work for a short time during the harvest season every year, which costs money, but this year's money has not been allocated for a long time, so it is naturally delayed.

Wang Tianbao's family said happily: "Fortunately, grandma arranged it properly, our family's rice has been harvested and dried. Isn't it all in vain all year round? ”

Danxia complained: "Grandma also said a few days ago that we will enjoy the moon on the lake for the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, and now it is raining, so we must not be able to enjoy the moon." A large group of people hid in the house, ate and went to sleep. It's really boring. ”

Jin Hairpin smiled and said: "If the heavens are not beautiful, what can be helped?" ”

Bai Lu hugged the arm of the flower woman and coquettishly: "Mom, do you think it will be sunny tomorrow?" ”

Hua Pozi smiled: "I'm not a heavenly master, how do I know if tomorrow will be sunny or rainy?" The little girl is so playful? If you really want to be sunny, go burn two pillars of incense and see if God can listen to you. ”

While talking and laughing, Gong Yuanhe walked in from outside the courtyard gate with a green cloth umbrella, and saw several people watching the rain under the corridor, and said with a smile: "What's so beautiful about this rain?" ”

Ming Fei stepped forward to take the green cloth umbrella in his hand and handed it to Bai Lu, and entered the house next to him: "They are all looking forward to the sunshine, and tomorrow will be a good day to enjoy the moon on the lake." How did you come back at this time? ”

Danxia went to wring the hot handkerchief with a very good look and handed it over.

Gong Yuanhe wiped two handfuls and said with a smile: "The sixteenth person in the capital will arrive, I am only afraid that I will come back at night tomorrow, and I can't accompany you, so I deliberately came back early today to accompany you." ”

Ming Fei was a little disappointed: "Then you don't eat at home?" This is the first Mid-Autumn Festival she has spent with him, and it would be disappointing if she couldn't do it together.

Gong Yuanhe took off his soaked boots, changed into green cloth shoes made by Ming Fei, pulled her over with a smile, and said softly, "Why don't you eat it?" You've been busy for so long, I'm going to have to eat this meal at home anyway. It's just a little late, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait. ”

Ming Fei smiled: "I can wait." It's a big deal, I'll eat something to pad my stomach first. What do you want to eat? I'll let them prepare it for you first, and you will also cushion your stomach. Don't go hungry. ”

"As long as you read me, everything is delicious." Gong Yuan and Ming Fei's eyes smiled like a curved moon, which was full of joy, and first held her shoulder and kissed her on each eye, Fang said: "I just received a letter from my mother-in-law. ”

Calculating that it has been more than 20 days now, Ming Fei didn't care: "Where have they been?" ”

Gong Yuanhe shook his head: "I didn't arrive, they were delayed halfway." ”

"What's going on?" Ming Fei became nervous, Chen followed the caravan, even if she wanted to stay, the caravan couldn't wait for her, and the delay halfway must have met with a big event.

Gong Yuanhe saw that she was nervous. Hurriedly stroked her shoulders and said, "Don't panic, they just met Jiang bandits, and now they are fine." Seeing that Ming Fei breathed a sigh of relief, Fang said word by word: "Your third brother is dead." ”

It was more than ten days ago, when the boat was sailing on the river, about to abandon the ship and change cars, everyone was in good spirits, but who knew that night they encountered heavy fog, and then met river bandits. Fortunately, Deng Guan and others have been accustomed to this road for a long time, they are well prepared, and there are many people, so they are not afraid, and after a bloody battle, both sides have casualties. ...
