Chapter Seventy-Six: My Brother Escapes
On the eighth day of June, early in the morning, Chuncao Xue Yueyue left the border station.
Wan Lei sent the deputy general around him to lead the team to escort the two, and Fang Dalang was one of them, and when they reached safety, they parted ways.
The deputy general still has a task, which is to go to Qingyang City Prison to arrest death row prisoners.
Chuncao returned to Taiping Town that night, informed her mother and sister-in-law of the situation, and the next day, she took her mother and sister-in-law, drove the carriage, and arrived at the sparsely populated area where the deputy general was stationed, waiting to see her brother.
At this time, Qingyang City, prisoners were pressed out of the prison one by one, wearing shackles, their hands and feet were chained, and they were escorted by a group of soldiers wearing armor, and walked out of the city.
These escorted soldiers all have a murderous momentum, and they know at a glance that they have been on the battlefield for a long time.
And the onlookers were all talking and speculating about various possibilities. However, each version has a common feature, that is, this group of prisoners basically cannot come back alive.
Among the onlookers, of course, there were also subordinates of the Li family, and when they saw Liu Zhuzi among the prisoners, they immediately went back to report to their masters.
Master Li, who has been exhausted in the past few days, finally breathed a sigh of relief today, because the so-called "illegitimate child" did not block the door to make trouble, and his wife seemed to be quiet today.
Listening to the report of his subordinates, Master Li thought that the matter of Qingyang City had finally come to an end, and he could also leave.
Mrs. Li was not at ease, and sent someone to Yamen to inquire about the situation, but when she came back, she was arrested as a death row prisoner. I sent someone to check on the "illegitimate child", but he disappeared without a trace.
Li San, who was paralyzed in bed, even if he heard that Liu Zhuzi was already fierce and unlucky, he was unwilling to give up, he wanted Liu Zhuzi to cut off his children and grandchildren, knowing that Liu Chuncao hid Zhuzi's daughter-in-law in Taiping Town, crying and asking his mother to clean up the child in the woman's belly.
Unexpectedly, the matter of the "illegitimate child" reached the ears of Mrs. Li, and asked several people to return to Shuangshi Town immediately.
Even if Mrs. Li and Li San were unwilling, they had to go back first, but they didn't dispel the idea of cleaning up the pillar daughter-in-law, so they could only find another opportunity.
And Chuncao Niang and the pillar daughter-in-law, after Chuncao's arrangement, on the way to the barracks station, saw the person who was about to leave the pillar.
Looking at his daughter-in-law's big belly, which contained his own children, and the gray-haired mother, the pillar had red eyes.
Fang Dalang had already told himself that if he wanted to avoid the Li family's revenge, he could only hide his name and follow him to join the army.
After today, Liu Zhuzi has disappeared. He will not be called Liu Zhuzi in the future, he will be called Liu Jun, and his daughter-in-law will also become a widow.
Looking at the sad people crying in the carriage, Chuncao wiped her tears, "It's not life and death, everyone don't cry." ”
Hearing Chuncao's words, several people wiped their tears.
"Brother, even if there is no major war at the border, you must pay attention to safety, because there are still mothers, sisters-in-law and children at home, so if you have the opportunity, you will secretly come back to have a look."
Zhu Zi nodded solemnly, "Help me take care of my mother and your sister-in-law, and ...... Child. ”
Turning over the farewell, after all, she was going to leave, Chuncao looked at the team in the distance, squinted her eyes, Li family, she remembered.
On the night of the pillar's departure, an assassin appeared in the prison, but the assassin did nothing, and walked around the prison before disappearing without a trace.
Prefect Yu Song always felt that these assassins were strange, they were all first-class masters, they went to the government prison, did nothing, and disappeared.
The prisoners in the prison had just been taken away, and the Assassins had come to do nothing, which made him wonder if their purpose was the prisoners who had been taken away, and among them, it was most likely to go to Liu Zhuzi.
He originally doubted that it would be the Li family who sent him to assassinate Liu Zhuzi, but when he thought of it, he was denied by himself, the Li family didn't have the guts, and there was no need for that.
Is that to save Liu Zhuzi? Who will it be?
Puzzled, he directly suppressed the assassin's affairs as if nothing had happened.
Although my brother is no longer around, he has finally survived the danger, and Chuncao does not dare to be careless, and is ready to guard against the Li family's retaliation, whether it is going out or at home, people will always guard their mother and sister-in-law.
The weather is getting hotter, the vineyard has Wu Bo and someone to take care of it, and Chuncao has nothing to do every day except for guarding his sister-in-law's stomach, so he is bored and nervous, and he thinks crankily when he is bored.
Lu Ziqi has been out for a month and a half, and there is no news yet, and he doesn't know what to do, so he doesn't even bring a letter back.
Chuncao gritted her teeth, planning to wait for Lu Ziqi to come back, and first beat him to relieve her hatred. At the same time, I was worried in my heart, did something happen?
When Chuncao sighed and had nothing to do, Foreman Zhao came, the rainy season had passed, and asked when Chuncao would start.
Chuncao then remembered that the yard and workshop behind the hillside had not yet been built.
handed over the drawn drawings to Foreman Zhao, picked an auspicious day to start construction, and transferred more than half of the long-term workers to repair the road to the back yard, while Chuncao himself took a bunch of people and planned to study and make a transport belt to facilitate the transportation of things from this side to the workshop.
In a blink of an eye, it was the end of July, and it was busy for more than a month, and the conveyor belt of spring grass was not studied, but a ropeway was made, anyway, it was almost the same, and things could be transported to the side of the hill, which was also satisfactory.
Foreman Zhao looked incredible, and felt that Chuncao's brain was simply a treasure.
And the yard behind the hillside is already about to go to the beam, this time, Chuncao did not save the beam ceremony, called an acquaintance, and invited the villagers of the nearby village, and it was lively.
It's just that one less person always makes Chuncao sullen.
August 11, is Chuncao's sixteenth birthday, Chuncao Niang prepared new clothes for Chuncao early, and personally cooked, making delicious food for Chuncao.
And on this day, Chuncao received an unexpected gift, a person who claimed to be a descendant of the Lu family, and Lu Yong found it.
Looking at this seemingly honest descendant of the Lu family, Chuncao did not hide her dissatisfaction, "Why didn't Lu Ziqi come back by himself?" ”
Lu Yong's eyes flashed, "There is something to deal with at home, and the young master can't come back for the time being, so I sent a slave over to give the young lady a birthday gift first, and instructed the slave to stay by the young lady's side to serve in the future." ”
Chuncao took in this Lu Yong's expression, this Lu Yong was not as honest as he looked on the surface, Chuncao always felt that he was not telling the truth.
Chuncao asked Lu Yong how Lu Ziqi was doing, and Lu Yong only said that it was very good, but he couldn't answer why.
Since he couldn't ask anything, he had no choice but to give up.
Finally got the news, Chuncao excitedly took the package sent back by Lu Ziqi and went back to the room, eager to see what the gift was.
When I opened the package, the first thing that caught my eye made Chuncao blush, it was actually a belly pocket, a belly pocket embroidered with mandarin ducks, a belly pocket embroidered with lotus, and my belly pocket embroidered with peonies, several pieces.
Chuncao was glad that she entered the room and opened the burden again, otherwise this face would be a big loss.
Looking at the pile of belly pockets, Chuncao blushed and scolded with a smile, "Stinky nerd, sullen man." ”
Seeing a letter pressed under his belly pocket, Chuncao took it out and opened it, revealing Lu Ziqi's handwriting.
Happy birthday, lady.
Gift satisfaction? I saw it by chance, and I wanted to see what you were wearing on me, so I bought it. Return at the beginning of September, don't read it.
Looking at the familiar handwriting, Chuncao's eyes were red, she gritted her teeth, she had been walking for so long, just a few words, don't read it, she has been gone for a few months and has no news, how can she not read it.
Everyone outside was still waiting for their birthday, and Chuncao tried to adjust her mood and went to the front hall.
Chuncao told everyone that the nerd had written a letter, and everything was fine, but the sister-in-law asked what gift she brought, and Chuncao unconsciously reddened her eyes and said perfunctorily that it was just a dress.
At the end of August, the courtyard was completed, and the workshop and cellar were completed, at a cost of almost five thousand taels of silver.
Foreman Zhao did not overcharge Chuncao's silver, but he spent much more than he expected.
It can be said that the workshop and cellar are a huge project, because the spring grass is required to be completed before September, which can be said to consume a huge amount of manpower and material resources.
The raisin workshop is a boxy house, except that the roof is complete, and all sides are made of red bricks like honeycomb, which is not a wall of ventilation walls, and each house is independent, separated by a certain distance.
The cellar is like digging a cellar, hollowing out the ground, and digging into rows of lattices around it.
The honeycomb house in the four directions, the drying room where the formal spring grass is intended to be used as raisins, a few normal houses, a workshop for making red wine, and a cellar for storing red wine, surrounded by rows of hollow lattices, just enough to place rows of red wine jars.
Even if the yard is repaired, Chuncao still plans to live here for the time being, it is lively and relatively safer, and Chuncao has never dared to take it lightly for the Li family.
My sister-in-law was about to give birth in September, and the medicine was backward and the expected date of delivery could not be determined.
My mother and sister-in-law both think it's too much of a fuss, but Chuncao is serious, this is the incense of our Liu family, how can it be called a big fuss? The mother and sister-in-law didn't say anything anymore.
Uncle Fang had already arranged the shop in Qingyang, and he went to Beijing halfway, and the store had already been arranged.
The grapes began to ripen, and Wang Jun was left in Qingyang City, so Uncle Fang took the two brothers of the Wei family to the vineyard.
At the beginning of the year, when the seedlings are harvested, the spring grass has already been released to harvest the grapes, and as soon as the grapes are ripe, those who have grapes at home will start picking them and send them to the vineyard as soon as they are ripe.
The freshly ripe green grapes, the spring grass is going to be made into raisins, and with Uncle Fang in charge, the workshop begins to produce in an orderly manner.
Chuncao stayed in the yard, guarding her sister-in-law and accompanying her sister-in-law to give birth.
