Bijin was sent out in time a few years ago, and she didn't stay in the house, but was assigned to the second steward of the village Zhuangzi. Ou Qingjin saw the man, and he was quite satisfied, Xia Ruixi really took some silver taels of cloth from his dowry, prepared a decent dowry for Bijin, and sent her.

Liang'er stopped and refused to give it, saying that Bijin was so rude and gave her money, wouldn't anyone dare to offend Xia Ruixi like this in the future.

Xia Ruixi said: "I'm not indiscriminately giving her money, but for the sake of Sishao and me." She is not good, but others don't know, they only know how she has served Si Shao for so many years, and there is no merit and hard work. If we don't give her anything, people will gossip about us. We can't go out and shout to let people know what kind of character she is, how to seduce Si Shao, right? In that case, I don't have any face, do I? ”

Ou Qing didn't say anything in his mouth, but in his heart, he felt that Xia Ruixi was really good, and he was really thoughtful about things. At night, he obediently told him how Bimon had seduced him.

Xia Ruixi heard that Bi Jin handed him tea to drink first, and in a blink of an eye, he took off his essence and hugged her, he encountered Bi Jin during his struggle, and he was jealous, and asked him which hand touched Bi Jin.

Ou Qing didn't know why, saying that he didn't expect Bijin to be such a person, he was ashamed and angry at that time, and he just wanted to escape quickly, but he couldn't remember clearly. Xia Ruixi pounced on him and bit him on the arm, causing him to scream in pain, and finally coaxed her to let go, pinched her cheek and asked, "Why did you bite me again?" ”

Xia Ruixi slapped his hand away with a calm face, grinded his teeth and said, "You know it in your own heart!" If I also touch a ** man, I'll see what you do! If you run into anyone again in the future, you will automatically cut off that hand, or don't come to see me. ”

Ou Qingjin came back to her senses, she was jealous, she couldn't help laughing, swearing, saying that she was the only one in her heart, and she would never touch others. From now on, I really don't want other girls to serve closely, as long as the new little girl serves.

Xia Ruixi saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart, this year was really good.

This winter, Daqin started from the capital, and the weather in most places was particularly strange, no snow when it should snow, and the temperature was comparable to early summer. In many places, the water source is cut off, the fields are dry and cracked, not to mention the daily water use, and even the drinking water of people and animals has become difficult.

The emperor's measure of making people eat and worship God did not work at all, and the people from ancient times had the custom of digging up the spring famine, and now they look at the little seeds that were finally saved are planted in the ground, and it is impossible to sprout and grow, and they feel that there is no hope, so they have to flee with their families. Xijing is a relatively wealthy place, with abundant water sources and a normal climate, so it has naturally become the primary destination for these people to escape the famine.

The imperial court was afraid that the people who fled the famine would miss the spring ploughing, so they sent troops to control the traffic arteries everywhere, not allowing people to go out, and also practiced joint sitting in the village, and anyone who dared to escape would be severely punished by his relatives, who might go to jail or confiscate their property. Under such strict control, it initially played a somewhat deterrent role. But as the drought worsened day by day, people felt that if they stayed any longer, they would starve to death if they did not die of thirst, so those who were bold simply migrated.

The victims of the disaster are like locusts crossing the border, and as long as they have the opportunity, they will encounter what they eat, what they will rob, and they will drive to Xijing one after another. Because of the lack of news and inconvenient transportation, Xijing City is still prosperous and has not been affected much, both rich and poor, they are living their usual lives peacefully.

Even if someone mentions that people were killed or robbed by the victims, most people laugh it off, but in what year did the victims not have it? Where is not? The victims of the disaster are also good citizens, and most of them will choose to return to their hometowns to farm and live after this difficult time. It's not strange to say that they will steal and take the sheep by the hand, but if they kill people and rob people, it is a very small number of them, and it is not a problem. At this time, the second master Ou received a letter from the capital, and from then on, he began to sigh for a long time.

The bad mood of the second master Ou and the news of the drought did not affect the good mood of everyone looking forward to the New Year, and the New Year was lively, and sent away Xia Ruinan and Wu Zi'an who went to Tokyo to work.

Bidding farewell to the Ou family, from the moment he got into the carriage, Xia Ruixi's heart was full of joy, as if he was a bird out of a cage.

On this trip, they brought a total of three carriages, one car to pull people's clothes and utensils, and one car to sit with the accompanying mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Xia Ruixi and Ou Qingjin sat in the largest car, so they also sat Chun'er and Liang'er, and there was also a group on the wheel outside. There were also a few guards who rode horses to follow around, Xia Ruixi lifted the curtains for a while, and then put them down: "So many people follow, it's not like going out to play, but like going to fight tigers." ”

Ou Qingjin smiled: "Are you going to play?" Didn't you tell your parents that you were going to farm? ”

Xia Ruixi raised his eyebrows: "Did I say it?" You said it. I'm just going to play, and when I get to the place, you go to farm, and I'll play. I soak in the hot springs every day. As he spoke, he went to bite her ear with Jun'er Liang'er and asked her where she put her bikini swimsuit.

Ou Qingjin squinted and quietly watched Xia Ruixi play happily in the car like a child, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows flashed with happiness, and she couldn't help but feel a lot of pity, and secretly thought that she would take her out to play more in the future.

After the carriage left the gate of Xijing, from time to time it would encounter some people in ragged clothes, with vegetables on their faces, and the victims who dragged their children and daughters begged for food to the passers-by along the way, asking if they wanted people to work, and they all said that they did not need to be paid, as long as they had a place to live and something to eat.

Ou Qingjin stopped the carriage and beckoned someone to come forward, give him some food, and ask about the disaster situation in other places. The man said something and sighed: "The situation is getting worse and worse, and many people are already dying of starvation. There were more people coming from behind. ”

The people sighed once, and although they felt pitiful, they were powerless, so they put down the matter and continued on their way.

People in Xijing City know that there are hot springs in the suburbs of the south of the city, and rich people have built hot spring villages in this area, which is convenient for them to come here in winter to maintain their health, and some families live here all winter.

All kinds of flowers and trees in Xijing City are still beating bones, or sprouting, but the plants and trees here have borrowed geothermal heat, peach blossoms, cherry blossoms, begonia flowers, pear blossoms, magnolia flowers are in full bloom, full of spring, which makes people feel a little joy in their hearts.

Xia Ruixi's Zhuangzi is hidden in a sea of flowers, and its scale is medium-sized in this Zhuangzi, neither big nor small, but because the former owner is an official, it is particularly exquisitely built.

As soon as you enter the door, there is a lush green flower and tree, a clear stream zigzags around the big tiled houses with white walls and a bamboo forest where the people live, the stream is surrounded by verdant aquatic plants, blooming irises and some unknown small wildflowers, small pink butterflies are interspersed among them, and the canary finches under the porch make crisp and euphemistic chirpings from time to time, adding a bit of wild interest to the artificial delicacy.

Ou Qingjin came here for the first time, and he didn't expect that there would be such a lively and lovely stream in this Zhuangzi. As soon as Xia Ruixi saw his appearance, he knew that he liked it here, so he took his hand and said, "The back is better, I'll take you to see it." I still changed some places, you see, if you want to change any place, let's change it again. Next winter, let's stay here for a longer time. "This is completely the territory of the two, and the two of them can do whatever they want.

Ou Qingjin smiled and pinched her face, and said jokingly: "It seems that it is better to marry a rich wife." With the money given to us by the family for a few months, we will never be able to afford such a Zhuangzi for the rest of our lives. ”

Xia Ruixi smiled: "Isn't there also a hot spring Zhuangzi at home?" I once heard my third sister-in-law say that it is the biggest and most beautiful here, and you can live whenever you want. According to the news from Liang'er, she knew that because of financial reasons, the Zhuangzi of the Ou family was about to be sold, but the men and women in power in the family were still hiding it.

Xia Ruixi, the new daughter-in-law, is naturally also the object of concealment, when she knew about this matter, one reaction was to be unhappy, although she understood the Ou family's mood of wanting to save face, but not telling her meant that she had not completely treated her as her own.

Xia Ruixi was unhappy at the same time, but also worried, he didn't think about opening up his financial resources, he just sold and sold, and one day he would sell everything he could, at that time, what should the family do? Do you drink the northwest wind? She was afraid that the situation that Mrs. Xia and Master Xia were worried about would appear, and they would all run out of money, so they would beat her daughter-in-law's dowry and rob the rich to help the poor, didn't Mrs. Xia often do this? She didn't want to feed such a large family of young masters and grandmothers who were used to enjoying blessings in vain. At this time, it is particularly important for her to manage this small family in the future and grasp the financial relationship between her and the Ou family.

"That Zhuangzi will not belong to us. If there is a suitable buyer, it is estimated that this spring will not be ours. A hint of gloom flashed in Ou Qingjin's eyes, and he diverted the topic: "Let's go and take a look at the back?" You pointed it out to me, what did you change? Let me see how good you are as a craftsman? ”

Xia Ruixi saw that he didn't answer her topic, and smiled: "Let's follow this stream." Whether he had a plan or was irritable and didn't want to mention it, she wasn't afraid, she wouldn't let anyone pinch it anyway. Xia Ruixi thought of the stack of thick silver tickets that he secretly hid from Ou Qingjin, and his heart suddenly felt confident.

Walking along the creek to a verdant bamboo forest, Xia Ruixi took Ou Qingjin around three times and two times, and went around into an apricot blossom forest. Xia Ruixi whispered a few words to Chun'er, and Chun'er answered, she turned around and said to Ou Qingjin slyly: "If you want to learn how to make water, I can teach you here," At this time, what she was thinking about was the picture of a beautiful man taking a bath. She violently pushed Ou Qingjin into the water, untied her cloak and jumped down.
