Chapter 616: Crossing the River and Demolishing the Bridge
If the Han family really valued her He Zao's life-saving grace to those people in the deep mountains, they would not have sent someone to ask for so many days after the road was unblocked.
Furukawa must have also told the Han Mansion about the agreement reached with her during the plague, but the Han Mansion did not move at all!
Furukawa said that he was Ah Che's little servant, but he didn't know whether he was obeying Ah Che or Han Fu!
Anyway, when the words came to this point, she didn't have anything bad to say to people, so she said directly: "Dumb steward, that day the little brother Furukawa told me something and wanted me to help, but I refused, the reason for the refusal must be guessed by the steward, our He family is just an ordinary small household, and we are not willing to get involved in other major things!" ”
She looked at each other with glass-like black eyes. Even though his tone was very soft, as if there was a hint of pleading, in those eyes, there was calm Wu Bo.
The steward was slightly stunned, and then smiled bitterly.
Furukawa reported his contact with He Zao back then, but his own adults didn't know how to deal with it, so they delayed it first.
It stands to reason that all those in the know should be killed, or, like those two, imprisoned and not exposed to outsiders!
However, Furukawa was indeed desperate at that time, and they were also worried about Fucheng.
The Taihang Mountains have been traversing the east and west, from the side of Fucheng, it is true that you can walk to Guyang City by taking the mountain road, but at that time, the plague broke out, and the momentum was violent, not only people, but also the wild animals on the mountain, all died......
No one dared to go up the mountain and walk the mountain road......
He Zao's actions at that time can be said to have saved thousands of people in the mountains.
This undoubtedly deepened Furukawa's good impression of her, of course, he was not a fool, after the crisis was resolved, the first thing he did was to find He Zao and sign a long-term rice supply agreement with her.
Unsurprisingly, it was rejected......
He Zao has always been very shrewd, with a wisdom and foresight that does not belong to her age.
She knows the seriousness of the matter and will not joke with the entire He family!
Therefore, when Furukawa told the adults about this, his own adults were silent for a long time, and they didn't seem to know what to do with the He family!
The steward groaned and asked, "Did the second girl tell your family about this?" ”
He Zao's eyes narrowed.
She quickly nodded: "That's nature, the rice grain at home is gone, I have to have an explanation!" After a pause, she lightly emphasized: "My father's mother, you don't have to worry, they value Ah Che, and they will definitely keep their mouths shut and won't cause trouble for him!" ”
The steward just smiled wryly.
If only it were that simple.
He pressed this matter first: "Regarding my son-in-law, can the second girl think about whether she wants to help?" ”
He Zao bit his lower lip and asked rhetorically: "Can the steward tell me that your son-in-law has remorse for what he did?" ”
The steward was stunned for a moment, and then remained silent.
He had already sneered: "He has targeted our He family again and again, there are two and there are three, our brothers and sisters were kind to treat Ah Che at the beginning, and then they took the initiative to defend him and cover up his identity, but your son-in-law has no gratitude, and treats us as thoughtless animals, if you want to be gracious, if you want to trample on it, you can trample on it, so, why should I intercede for such a person?" Steward, please come back! Don't mention this incident in the future! ”
She said that she turned her face and turned her face, without giving the steward a little time to react, the latter was dumbfounded, and it took a long time for her brain to digest He Zao's words, and her face turned blue.
"Second girl, you can't be a man without a conscience!" He looked at He Zao coldly: "If you want to cross the river and demolish the bridge, you also want to see how many catties and taels you have!" ”
He Zao's eyes were cold, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, as if he was mocking: "Who is crossing the river and demolishing the bridge?" Foolish in charge, I am soft-spoken, but I am by no means a stupid person, our He family has won profits, fame, power, and sacred hearts for your Han family, but we have made great contributions! When the steward said this to me, did he want to cross the river and tear down the bridge? ”
The steward's mouth opened, and then he lowered his head.
He Zao was right.
Although the steward is expressionless on weekdays and is not easy to get along with, he is still very upright, and he also has fairness and morality in his heart, otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to intercede for He Zao at the beginning, and stabbed Lord Han and released He Zao.
Therefore, he knew very well in his heart that because the He family's Songhua Egg was registered in the palace, his master would be more sacred, and because of the Songhua Egg, their Han family made a lot of money. Later, it was because of the He family's iron stick yam that Huaiqing Mansion was the first to develop a life-saving decoction. As a small farmer, the He family was able to let the Holy Decree give them an official status, not to mention the benefits that their Han family received!
If it is said that the Songhua egg is the He family with the help of the Han family's potential, then this time the iron stick yam is the Han family's light stained with the He family! Big light!
What his son-in-law did is indeed a typical "crossing the river and demolishing the bridge"!
***
The autumn rain outside the house continued to fall, and the leaves on the vines shook slightly with the wind, and the small grapes that grew late on the branches were like peas, green and astringent, and they trembled in the breeze, but people's hearts trembled.
Qibao was lying by the window, looking at it: "This rain is heavy, isn't the grape grain about to fall, I have been waiting for many days, I want to eat grapes!" ”
He Zao was also lying by the window, looking weak, like a pug, humming: "I tasted one yesterday, it was sour and bitter, and I couldn't eat it!" ”
"I didn't eat grapes this year!" Qibao looked very sad, and broke his fingers with meat: "I didn't eat persimmons, I didn't eat watermelon, I didn't eat apples, I didn't eat persimmon buns, I didn't eat duck eggs, I didn't eat Songhua eggs......"
He Zao couldn't help laughing, nodded his forehead and said, "You glutton! Why didn't you eat Songhua eggs, the ones at home are not enough for you to eat! ”
Qibao pouted: "That's all before, I haven't made anything fresh at home in the past few months!" ”
That's true.
All the chickens, ducks and livestock in Huaiqing Mansion have been killed, and it is not so easy to buy duck eggs even if you want to buy them.
The raw persimmons on the trees also let the hungry people rob them all and eat them.
Therefore, the workshop at home could not be opened.
Others are okay, but Qibao feels that his delicious food is far away from him, and his fate is so miserable.
He had already glared at him: "You eat carefully, you will become a big fat man, and you will see if you will marry a daughter-in-law in the future!" ”
Qibao scratched his head, his little face turned red, but he stalked his neck: "What does it have to do with whether I am fat and whether I marry a daughter-in-law or not!" ”
He had already raised his chin at He Chun'er, who was sitting on the kang in the house doing needlework, and smiled meaningfully: "You go and ask our eldest sister, if the elder brother of the Li family looks like our Sanbao brother, is our eldest sister still willing to marry?" ”
