Chapter 180: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada and the Yellow Sparrow Follows
Aunt Song waved her hand and said: "My daughter married in Moguan, her man was dragged to fight, and she can't come back, she still has a small business in Moguan, and she can't leave with her children, so I can only go over to help." ”
Mo Guan? Isn't that between the north and Daqi, the place that has been affected by the war?
Seeing her nervous expression, Aunt Song thought that Chen Xiaonian was worried about herself, so she eased her tone, "But I heard that the turmoil in the north has been calmed down, and I am afraid that there will probably be no war in a few months." ”
Chen Xiaonian raised his head suddenly. "Has the civil strife in the North been put to rest?"
Aunt Song nodded. "It's the general who came back from the dead, I heard that he led people to storm the imperial city, captured the four princes alive, and rescued the imprisoned prince and the emperor of the north."
Chen Xiaonian stood up suddenly, kicked out the stool he was sitting on just now, and finally fell to the uneven ground before the stool fell down.
Aunt Song didn't know why her reaction was so big, and pulled her to sit down again.
"You can be slow, it's such a big month, I can't stand your toss."
Chen Xiaonian is now only thinking about asking about the affairs of the northern border, how can he control these details.
The question that was held in her heart was just about to be asked, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed them back.
Aunt Song, who didn't know what she was thinking, only cared about herself. "Do you think that after the emperor and the crown prince of the north were rescued, the civil strife in the north was put down. No! ”
The more Aunt Song spoke, the more excited she became, and she pulled Chen Xiaonian to say. "Outsiders have rumored that the prince wants to kill the king and seize the throne and become the emperor of the north, but I didn't expect that although the general rescued people, but after these two were rescued, the general actually followed the five princes to a praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches."
Speaking of this, Aunt Song couldn't help but pat her thigh. "Isn't this more exciting than storytelling? If it is really a person who is an official in the court and does great things, he has such a useful brain. The son fought with Lao Tzu, but after both were defeated, he was cut off by another son. ”
"Although it is said that the four princes were captured alive, the power of the four princes is still there, and I don't know where they are hidden in the north. No, the general has to bring people to help the five princes catch these thieves. That's why the civil strife in the north may be put down in a few months. ”
"That great general has made such a great contribution, I heard that he has been named the protector of the northern realm, no, it is not easy to provoke him, and our Daqi does not dare to act rashly."
Later, Aunt Song said something, but Chen Xiaonian couldn't listen to a word.
He's been made the protector of the north?
With such a great merit and such a great status, he has an identity, a wife and children, and he really won't come back.
Chen Xiaonian's mind was so dizzy that she didn't even hear Wang shouting to her, and she didn't remember how she came back from Aunt Song's house.
After more than half a month, Chen Xiangwen came to provoke Chen Xiaonian several times, but he didn't seem to hear it, which fueled the arrogance of Chen Xiangwen's family.
I came here twice at the beginning of this period, saying that the business of Lotus Village was gradually on the right track, and I wanted to expand the farm, but I didn't know where to choose the right location? Even if it is to expand the farm, but the surrounding environment is not the same as before, this has to be changed somewhat, they don't understand this, they talked about it for several days, and finally let Zheng Chu come to Chen Xiaonian to come up with an idea.
However, Chen Xiaonian seemed to have lost her soul, her left ear went in and out of her right ear, and she only reacted after being asked several times in a row, but she didn't remember what others said at all, and she didn't answer what she asked.
Erhu's father called Zhengchu to the side and spoke seriously, Zhengchu turned back suspiciously, looking at Chen Xiaonian's reaction from time to time. Finally, after sighing helplessly, I went back first.
They all have a good relationship with the head of the village, Wang wiped his tears, called the father and mother of the two tigers, and discussed a solution together.
On this day, Chen Xiaonian was dragged up by Erhu's mother to change clothes, comb his hair again, wipe his face, and take him to the town.
Chen Xiaonian, who hadn't been out for a long time, couldn't adapt to the excitement of the town for a while. If it weren't for Erhu's mother taking him around, Chen Xiaonian really wanted to hide in the carriage and stay.
"Miss Xiao Nian!"
A voice shouted excitedly, Chen Xiaonian turned his head, and just in time to see Yu An'an getting down from the carriage next to him.
Yu An'an's feet had just landed, and he had already run over excitedly, and the second tiger was afraid that Yu An'an's recklessness would hit Chen Xiaonian, so she stopped in the middle.
"I was about to go looking for you, but I didn't expect to run into you here!"
Yu An'an looked happy, and he could still hold Chen Xiaonian's hands tightly across the two tigers.
"I have taken back my mother's dowry, and I have completely left the Yu family, I am now the owner of several shops, and each shop makes money!"
Yu An'an's tone was excited, and his voice trembled a little.
"Miss Xiao Nian, I came this time to ask if you would like to go to the capital with me? House, money, people, as long as you open your mouth, as long as you nod, I can prepare everything you want. I'm the owner, and you're my second owner, how about it? ”
Erhu was dumbfounded.
Go to the capital and buy a house, how much silver does this cost?
"Xiao Nian ......"
Erhu wanted to persuade Chen Xiaonian to think about it, but she didn't expect Yu An'an to recognize her, so she said excitedly, "I remember you, there is a chubby boy in your family." Aunt Wang said that your female celebrity is doing very well, are you willing to go to the capital with me and be my embroiderer? ”
The two tigers were dumbfounded.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Yu Anan said directly. "Sister-in-law, don't worry, the silver will not be undercounted to you. Since you can make dolls, and the female red is not bad, the silver must be higher than that of ordinary embroiderers. ”
Saying that, Yu An'an calculated the account for her. "The best embroiderer in my family is paid two taels of silver per month. If you are willing to come to my house to be an embroiderer, I can give you three taels of silver every month. If the business is good in the current month, you can also pay dividends again, and it will be settled every three months. However, several of my shops are now the best in the capital, and you should be able to get more than 20 taels of silver in half a year......"
The second tiger girl didn't come up in one breath, and she almost held back her strength.
Chen Xiaonian patted her on the back and breathed a sigh of relief. Erhu didn't hear clearly, so he asked again.
"How much silver?"
Yu Anan told him the words just now in detail. Erhu and his mother held Chen Xiaonian's hand tightly, "Xiaonian, have you heard, I can get more than twenty taels of silver in half a year." ”
Seeing her so happy, Yu Anan was also happy.
"I'm afraid it's more than twenty taels, and in a few months, the northern envoys will come to Daqi, and when people from all over the world come to the capital to join in the fun, our business will be better, business is good, won't you get more dividends?"
Chen Xiaonian was shocked.
"Who is the envoy of the North?"
Yu Anan thought for a while, "It's the protector who has been in the limelight recently." ”
