128 The second-rate son of Nanji
Mrs. Zhou pointed at Xiong Jun, thought about it again, and then smiled:
"Oh, I forgot, the Niu Ju born by your sister has a good relationship with Sheng Jiaojiao, and your family is also poor now, what's the matter, I'm right, this Qi family up and down is all held in Sheng Jiaojiao's palm, no one wants to fall down."
Xiong Jun, who was standing outside the earthen house, smiled bitterly,
"This is right, that is, the Qi family has earned gold and silver, and it has nothing to do with our people, but the Qi family earns the Qi family, I just don't understand it very well......"
Before he could say anything more, the old lady Zhou, who was sitting on the threshold, knocked on the dry tobacco pouch on the ground, a little impatient,
"You people, why don't you want to think about what days we have lived in previous years, and what days we have lived this year, and what you have to do not meet your expectations, you will feel ashamed?"
It's still a good life, but I don't remember how many people will starve to death in Zhishou County in previous years, not to mention the Zhou family alone, several children have starved to death.
But this year, I haven't heard of anyone starving to death.
This is related to Tan Ji's timely payment of military salaries, and it is also related to the fact that Jiao Niang collects grain and sells grain at a reasonable price.
The Qi family has had a good time this year, in the eyes of their group of people, it can be regarded as soaring, but how many things have the Qi family done?
But don't talk about others, just say that Qi Zhou's family, who was originally a person who could only work in the field with a hoe, is now said to be carrying a basket on his back, dealing with the servants of the nobles on the set, and learning how to sell embroidery with a bright tongue.
But at the same time, what are the Zhou family and the Xiong family doing? They craned their necks, waiting for the Qi family to come and send them money.
Although they are family members who are connected by blood, Mrs. Zhou can't help but want to say that these people are really shameless.
Xiong Jun glanced at Mrs. Zhou, and instead of answering Mrs. Zhou's words, he looked at Uncle Zhou and said with a smile:
"Uncle, let's take a step to talk, how about it?"
Uncle Zhou looked at Mrs. Zhou hesitantly, he didn't have any ideas, over the years, everything in the family was Mrs. Zhou's idea.
Mrs. Zhou pushed Uncle Zhou, made a face, and asked him to listen.
The Xiong family and the Zhou family are both in Huangshi Village, and the sons and daughters of the two families are also in close contact on weekdays, but today Xiong Jun deliberately found the Zhou family, there must be something.
Uncle Zhou obediently followed Xiong Jun.
The old lady Zhou who was sitting on the threshold lowered her eyes and smoked a dry cigarette, looking disappointed that she couldn't manage it and didn't want to take care of it.
Left and right is not a good business, and he doesn't want to hear it.
After a long time, Uncle Zhou came back with a shocked face, but Xiong Jun had already left, and several people in the Zhou family looked at Uncle Zhou's face was wrong, but when they asked him, he didn't say anything, he only packed up his baggage, saying that he would follow Xiong Jun to Nanji for a few days.
On the same day, Xiong Jun and Uncle Zhou went to Nanji to do business.
On the second day, in the cow chrysanthemum field, where the fertilizer has been applied, the green tips of wild vegetables have emerged, and the color is still exceptionally fresh and tender, and there is a very full appearance of water.
The ladies who were invited by Niu Ju to turn over the ground were all surprised.
However, because the land of Niu Ju is too big, and it is all on the edge of the water, this does not make people suspicious, only surprised that these fields that have just been picked wild vegetables can still sprout wild vegetables again.
So one by one, they put the planting treasures sold by the Qi family on the altar, and wanted to double the price and buy the planting treasures from Niu Ju to go back to the fertile land.
Niu Ju naturally doesn't do it, she has more than a dozen acres of land, and the planting treasures of this board car are not enough, at present, I am afraid that more than half of the land can not be fertilized.
She had no choice, the medicinal materials of the golden sore medicine were important, so she could only ruthlessly shovel the wild vegetables that had just sprouted in the ground and plant the seeds of the golden sores medicinal materials.
When she was busy working in the field, Xiong Jun and Xiong Lin, with Uncle Zhou and a few other people, found the edge of Shuibo and wanted to take Niu Ju to Nanji.
The matter was noisy on the edge of the water pool, and soon spread to Sheng Jiaojiao.
She was drinking tea and reading a book on a newly made bamboo chair outside the Yexian Pavilion, and the mastiff was lying at her feet, waiting for the hot water on the small red clay stove next to her to boil, then stood up and snorted twice at Sheng Jiaojiao.
A little girl next to her sat in the Wild Fairy Pavilion and wrote, and when the mastiff hummed, she put down the brush in her hand and got up to pour a pot of tea for Sheng Jiaojiao.
Sheng Jiaojiao was reading a book and said critically:
"The nobles of the imperial capital, everyone will have a good hand in tea art, your gestures and steps to make tea are not right, you have to know, although in Zhishou County, this is not what the girl's family should learn, but you will have a good hand in tea art, whether you marry or not in the future, the road will be wider."
She pondered that she had to find a female master with better tea art to teach these orphaned little girls to learn tea art, not only tea art to learn, but also piano, chess, calligraphy and painting should be arranged.
This has nothing to do with the lintel or anything, it's just that Sheng Jiaojiao has been a queen all her life, and her cognition and insight have been raised to a height, she really can't see the little girl who grew up next to her, she just knows how to read and write and work in the field......
With more talents, if anyone is lucky in the future and marries into a wealthy family, it will not teach people to look down.
Even if you don't marry a big family, you have some talents, but you don't have the skills to beg for food.
The little girl squatted and saluted in a regular manner, the rules were not bad at all, and just as it should be, the three ladies hurriedly ran into the forest and shouted,
"Jiaojiao'er, Niu Niang went crazy, and brought a group of gentlemen from Zinanji to pull Niu Ju into the car, saying that she was sending Niu Ju to get married."
Sheng Jiaojiao, who was holding a small teacup with a thin tire with her orchid fingers, was stunned in place for a moment, and asked with her eyebrows:
"Cow lady? Xiong Lin? ”
Was her verbal warning not working? Obviously, she has already warned Niu Ju, and she also brought someone to marry Niu Ju?
Putting the teacup in her hand on the side of the small table again, Sheng Jiaojiao's face changed, and she got up,
"It's not good, Uncle Niu is not here today."
She hurried to the hall and told the little girl beside her,
"Take the cloak and tell the dog master to go with me to Shuibo."
said to the three ladies who ran in:
"I think Niu Niang is stunned, turn around and take her down, and teach Uncle Niu to reconcile with her."
In the middle of three words, Sheng Jiaojiao's great annoyance has been revealed.
She easily doesn't make decisions for others, but she is accustomed to it, she is self-conscious, and what the other party does is very disobedient to her, so she has to be the master of this Niu family.
While talking, the little girl and the third lady both moved, and after a while, the cloak was taken, Sheng Jiaojiao put on the cloak and went out, and when she walked at the entrance of the village, the second dog of the militia team had already set up a carriage and waited at the entrance of the village.
Sheng Jiaojiao and the third lady got into the carriage, and the second dog sat in front of the car and said to Sheng Jiaojiao:
"Don't worry, after receiving your news, the militia in our village will let the news go over, and Niu Niangzi will not be allowed to take Niu Ju away today."
In the carriage, the third lady looked at Sheng Jiaojiao nervously and asked:
"Jiaojiao'er, are there some teachers who are unknown when we go like this?"
She has also learned a few idioms recently, and her words are a bit nondescript, but that's what she means.
Xiong Lin is Niu Ju's mother-in-law, since ancient times, women have been married, all of them are the orders of the matchmaker's parents, Niu Niangzi Mo said that if she wants to marry Niu Ju, she wants to sell Niu Ju, that is, it is okay.
No one will think that there is anything wrong with this, but it is Sheng Jiaojiao, she is just Niu Ju's friend, why should she stop Niu Ju from marrying?
Sheng Jiaojiao sat in the shaking carriage, heard the words, opened her eyes, and looked at the three ladies,
"Now I can't be someone else's master, but I can be the master of the Qi family and the Niu family, I said not to let Niu Ju marry, whoever wants to marry her, who is against me, not for anything else, just because Niu Ju is my friend, I want her to live freely, not with this living being."
Why? For Niu Ju is unwilling.
Because she just took out the contract, before she could explain it, Niu Ju had already finished drawing.
For her full of calculations, Niu Ju still called her full of trust, "Jiaojiao, what Jiaojiao said must be right." ”
For Niu Ju's sincerity, for this girl, to be free in the fields, and for her to one day, she will realize her own bold words, she said that she wants to be the second richest person in this loess village.
People's hearts are muddy, and Sheng Jiaojiao doesn't want Niu Ju to be damaged in the hearts of these shallow people.
The third lady looked at Sheng Jiaojiao and stopped talking, she felt that Sheng Jiaojiao's pattern was so big, and it was not the height that a person like her could look up to.
Therefore, I have some thoughts of following Sheng Jiaojiao in my heart.
This idea is also ridiculous, because the third lady is Sheng Jiaojiao's elder in the end, and this elder has a surrender to the younger generation, and he may not be able to make people laugh when he says it.
For this reason, the three ladies were silent.
Soon arrived at the edge of the water pool, where there were already a lot of people surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.
The third lady jumped out of the carriage and helped Sheng Jiaojiao just get out of the car, when she heard a noise, Xiong Lin said loudly:
"My raw meat, why don't I have the right to let her marry? What are you holding me back? I just want to take Niu Ju away, I want her to marry a rich man and let her live a good life! ”
From time to time, Niu Ju's cry was heard, her wrist was pinched in Xiong Jun's palm, and she shook her head.
"I don't want to get married, Auntie, my Daddy hasn't come back yet, Daddy obviously doesn't agree with me marrying...... I don't want it, let me go. ”
The onlookers also helped to persuade:
"Niu Niang, forget it, let's talk about it when Ju Niang and her father come."
"Her father sent the baggage to the north, and she can't come back for the time being, the lord from Nanjun said, let me send someone over to see each other quickly, don't get in the way, don't spoil my girl's good marriage."
Xiong Lin's voice became sharper and sharper, she brought a lot of gentlemen this time, and when she spoke, she was about to push the crowd away and take Niu Ju away.
The militia patrolling nearby had already received Ergou's letter, and they surrounded Xiong Lin and others, but they refused to give way.
Xiong Jun's face was ugly, and he shouted angrily to the surrounding ladies and militia members:
"You people are really nosy with rats, my sister is going to marry her daughter, you are so busy, you are really full of food, right......?"
"How do you speak? The folks in the big hometown, things are going wrong, why are they nosy? ”
"You also know that everyone is on a blind date, and if it's a blind date, you shouldn't be so bad."
Xiong Lin's side, and the militia team, began to quarrel loudly, all of them were justified by the public, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable.
For a while, the sound of pushing and scolding in front of me sounded, and it looked a little chaotic.
Sheng Jiaojiao stood outside the crowd with the third lady and the second dog, frowning and looking at the chaos in front of her.
The third lady listened for a while, and was so angry that she wanted to roll up her sleeves,
"Is Niu Niang crazy? Isn't life going to be hard for their family now? Why do you toss Niu Ju so much? Where did the South County Merchant come from? Isn't it a person who knows the roots, marrying someone so far away, aren't you afraid that Niu Ju will be bullied after she passes? ”
Sheng Jiaojiao frowned, the dust was flying in front of her, and it was obvious that there was already a lot of trouble, and there was a general trend of trouble.
There were more and more onlookers, her eyes were sharp, and she saw that there were many fresh faces in the crowd, so she covered her face with a fan and asked the two dogs around her,
"Master Dog, are there some people in front of you who are not our people on Vaulting Horse Lake?"
Ergou looked at it intently, nodded and said:
"There are a few second-rate people from Nanji."
"The second-rate son of Nanji...... What do you do when you run to the set? ”
There are three villages in the north of the county, divided into set, south and set, and now the set is sealed, and the people in the six villages will go to the south to do business.
As a result, Nanji prospered for a short time.
Those who reached the age but did not join the army, who did not get land to plant at home, and who did not even go to the militia, were not very popular wherever they went.
Therefore, as soon as she heard that there were second-rate people in the chaotic crowd in front of her, Sheng Jiaojiao felt that this matter was a little weird.
She tilted her head slightly and instructed the second dog:
"Transfer the militia in front of you back, it's too chaotic, I'll see how many people are making trouble."
Ergou responded, just about to move, there was already a fight ahead, a large group of people included militia, women, children, as well as people from the Zhou family and the Xiong family, and there were some so-called second-rate people.
Seeing this situation, Sheng Jiaojiao took a few steps back, grabbed the third lady, and wrinkled her eyebrows:
"It's a little wrong, let's go back first, let people watch Niu Ju along the way, and wait for the opportunity to save people."
Obviously, everything today is too much of a coincidence.
The third lady was about to protect Sheng Jiaojiao to leave, and several men in front of him collided with her, and in the chaos, she raised a handful of powder and sprinkled it towards the three ladies and Sheng Jiaojiao.
Sheng Jiaojiao only felt a strange smell, and it was dark in front of her...... She hurriedly grabbed the third lady's hand and said:
"Let Tan Ji go to the Zhou family and the Xiong family, this matter is inseparable from the two of them."
When the words fell, Sheng Jiaojiao didn't notice it anymore.
When Sheng Jiaojiao woke up again, she was locked in a courtyard on Nanji, Xu is person who tied her didn't think she was any threat, so she didn't even have a rope, just threw her to the haystack, locked the door and went out.
The room was dark, the smell in the air was not good, and there was a faint sound of a woman greeting guests outside the window.
She was weak, and her head looked groggy because of the drug, so Sheng Jiaojiao closed her eyes and thought for a while.
