Chapter 40: Borrowing
After sending Mrs. Zhou away, she felt a little uncomfortable for a while.
Today, there have been a number of people who have said a lot, either cryptically or obviously, these days, that she is either a fool who understands what they mean, or she wants to add someone to their family.
To put it bluntly, she thinks that these people just see that Li Bokang is young now, and he has also made some achievements in the county in the past two years, so she wants to send her daughters or sisters and relatives to their homes.
Although they may guess the reason why Li Bokang came to Miyang, but so what, he was the biggest official in Miyang before.
Although it is said that there is a prefect in charge of it, but the sky is far away, and it is difficult for the prefect to manage it even if he wants to.
Moreover, because they are poor, the prefects above are not obsessed with them, which also leads to a great increase in the degree of freedom of the Miyang County Order.
In this way, Li Bokang can be regarded as the emperor of the Lost Sun, so those people will feel that he is now a real fragrant bun, so they will want to give him away, get closer to him, and let themselves get more benefits.
It wasn't that she didn't feel it when she first heard this, but she knew Li Bokang's feelings for her, plus what happened before, so she wasn't worried.
It's just that after listening too much, she is inevitably still a little unhappy in her heart.
So, after everyone left, she went to find Li Bokang.
She told Li Bokang that she didn't want to see those people anymore, and asked him to let those people spread the word that she was no longer a guest.
Li Bokang knew that something must have happened after hearing this, but he didn't ask anything else, and agreed after listening to her.
Immediately found Shumo and asked him to let out the words, saying that their Li Mansion would not see outsiders from today onwards.
When everything was done, he asked her why.
Finally, after learning that those people wanted to give him a concubine, he first observed Yang Xue's expression and found that although she was a little unhappy, she didn't seem to have the feeling of taking it to heart, and he let go of it a lot.
Subsequently, he also told her that many people had said that they wanted to give him away in the past few days, but he also affirmed that he did not agree.
In the end, both sides carefully talked about the things about others giving away people in the past few days, and after saying that, the matter passed like this, and it didn't leave any knots in their hearts.
Next, she and Li Bokang did not go out again, nor did they receive any more guests, so they stayed at home to play with An An, or went to the street.
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Li Bokang began to go to the government normally again.
At the beginning of February, an unexpected guest came to their house.
Yang Qi decided to come to the Li Mansion after struggling at home for a long time, but he was still very apprehensive in his heart.
Yang Qi is the person hired by Yang Xue and them to manage their family's land before, and he also sees the harvest of sweet potatoes in their eyes this time, and he wants to borrow some sweet potatoes to go back to planting.
He had met both the county commander and the county commander's wife, and he had spoken at close range, and he also knew that they were both good people, so he would have the courage to come to the Li Mansion this time.
If Li Bokang and Yang Xue weren't such kind and approachable people, he wouldn't have the courage to come to the Li Mansion.
However, although he knew what they were, he was not uneasy in his heart, after all, they were still somewhat deep-rooted in the concept of class.
Of course, he also thought about going directly to the Shumo housekeeper or a subordinate of the Li Mansion, but in this year, he also knew that the county magistrate and his wife valued the things in the field, so in the end, he decided to come directly to the county magistrate or his wife.
When he mustered up the courage to come to the Li Mansion, he was still a little scared in his heart, but in the end, the belief that he wanted to feed his family still prevailed over timidity.
So he knocked on the door of the Li Mansion with trembling hands.
Because of his fear, he knocked on the door very quietly at first, and could hardly make any noise, so no one answered the door.
Then he increased his strength, but there was no movement, and at last he knocked on the door vigorously, and someone came and opened it.
It was Laixing who came to open the door, and when he saw that the person who knocked on the door was Yang Qi, he still felt a little strange.
Everyone in the family has seen him, and they have all been to the field with her or Li Bokang, so it is not surprising that Lai Xing knows him.
Seeing Yang Qi coming to Xing, he asked in surprise: "Seventh brother, is there something wrong with you coming?" ”
Yang Qi seemed to be Laixing, and his nervous heart relaxed a little, so he said: "It's Laixing brother, I want to ask to see Mrs. or Master, there are some things I want to ask Mrs. to tell the Master, can you please pass it on?" ”
A trace of doubt flashed on Laixing's face when he heard this, but he had also been in the Li Mansion for two or three years, and the mansion was strict with his subordinates, and he had more knowledge, so he didn't show any other emotions.
said to Yang Qi: "That's good, seventh brother, you."
Wait a minute, I'll go and tell Madame about it. ”
"Okay, I'm in trouble, brother."
"No trouble, no trouble, this is what I should do."
After Laixing finished speaking, he closed the door and went in to report.
Yang Qi watched the door in front of him slowly close, and his heart, which had just been a little relaxed, suddenly came up again, he was afraid that his wife would not want to see him.
And here, Yang Xue heard that Yang Qi wanted to see her, and she was also a little puzzled, and then after thinking about it, she felt as if she knew his intentions again, so she asked Laixing to let him in.
After Yang Qi heard that his wife was willing to see him, he was a little happy in his heart, which meant that he also had half the possibility of success.
Yang Xue met Yang Qi in the courtyard, and Yang Qi wanted to kowtow to her when she saw her, but she asked him to get up and salute before he could kowtow.
She didn't beat around the bush, and asked Yang Qi directly: "I heard that you have something to ask us, tell me what is going on." ”
Yang Qi hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and then returned: "Back to Mrs., I want to ask Mrs. to lend me some sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn seeds that Mrs. planted in her field last year, if you really can't buy it." ”
After saying these words, he did not dare to look up at her, and when he finished speaking, he stood there motionless with his head down.
When Yang Xue heard this, she was a little happy in her heart, which provided a good way for them to promote these seeds.
But thinking of her previous worries, she said, "Why do you want to borrow my family's seeds?" ”
"Because the yield of my wife's family is higher than that of my family."
Yang Qi answered her question without thinking about it.
After listening to his answer, Yang Xue said again: "But sweet potatoes can't be eaten as rice, eating too much will cause heartburn, do you know?" ”
"The little ones know, but it's better than being hungry, and if you can't do it, you can do other uses."
After hearing this, she didn't say anything anymore, and directly agreed to lend him the seed.
But this time she gave it to him directly, anyway, this time their family received a lot, and they didn't need much.
Besides, they originally wanted to promote it, so it didn't matter if she sent him some.
However, at the same time, she also told him not to tell others that it was given to him, so as not to cause any trouble.
After Yang Qi thanked Dade for thanking her, she instructed Shumo to take some good seeds for each of them and let him go.
