Chapter 340: Twists and Turns

However, Mrs. Wu listened noisily and called her mother-in-law to inquire.

As soon as the mother-in-law came back and said that Mrs. Wu was disgusted and immediately took her two children to say goodbye and go home!

In Taijia Village, seeing that the sun began to turn westward, every household began to hold firewood, shouting at the chickens, ducks and children who ran out, hurry home!

In the winter of the Northland, the laziest thing is the sun, which is almost about to set just after the hour.

In order to save lamp oil and for the safety of the family, every family eats two meals and finishes all the chores before the sky is still bright.

Therefore, Steward Min came over in a carriage at this time, which surprised everyone in the Tai family.

An earthen stove was set up in the Taijiatang house, burning wooden stumbling blocks, and the hot air on his face made Steward Min sneeze twice.

The old man hurriedly picked up the kettle on the stove, made hot tea, and asked Steward Min to go to the cold.

Steward Min said with a smile, "Maybe it's going to snow, it's not very cold outside, I'm afraid that after the snow, it's really going to freeze to death!" ”

The old man didn't get on the fire, and responded, "Every household has prepared rice, flour, grain and oil, and there is no shortage of firewood. ”

"That's right, our Northland is the most idle at this time." Steward Min drank all the tea, and while the old man was adding more tea, he looked at the room and saw that there were no outsiders, so he got down to business.

"Uncle, a middle-aged gentleman came to the city today, with a retinue of guards, and he looked very arrogant. When they were eating in the restaurant, they inquired with the young man about the cashmere business and even got angry that the cashmere business was spreading and it was not your family's unique business.

"The guy in the restaurant saw that something was wrong and came to report to me. I noticed that these people used the waist cards of the three princes to enter and exit the city gate.

"Originally, these people inquired about the location of our house, and they wanted to visit, but not far from the carriage out of the city gate, a weasel came out and bit the horse's neck. The horse turned around and ran out of the moat before stopping, and the middle-aged gentleman in the carriage was unlucky and threw himself into the moat, his head was bloody, and he was sent to the hospital and swallowed.

"I watched the carriage carrying the coffin go out of the city and in the direction of the palace, so I came to our house to tell you."

He said it straightforwardly, but everyone in the Tai family listened to it with ups and downs.

"Someone fell into the moat and drowned? Is it the moat that is less than a man deep? The one who asked this sentence was the honest and honest Tai Jizu.

"Is this person the noble person who wants to rob our business?" This is Tai Jizong, who has a fairly flexible brain.

"Brother Min, have you followed these people the whole time? Did they notice something was wrong? Yang Lihua was not surprised at all that these people returned with a feather and even lost their lives, but she was only worried that Steward Min would be involved.

Old Man Tai also nodded and instructed, "These people will leave when they leave, if anyone comes over again, you must leave it alone." No matter how happy they are, they won't hurt our family. It's you, if you're implicated, you're in trouble. ”

Steward Min was puzzled when he heard this, and for some reason, the Tai family always gave him a feeling that he was not afraid of these nobles coming to rob the business, as if he was sure that the family would not suffer a loss and would not be in trouble.

What gave the Tai family such confidence?

Old Man Tai didn't see his face, and instructed his daughter-in-law, "Hurry up and cook, fry two good dishes, and then invite your third uncle, let's have a glass of wine with Brother Min." ”

Yang Lihua and Liu Dongniang both hurried down, and then hurried to get busy.

Tai Sanye was walking around at home like a grinding donkey, his brows furrowed tightly, and he couldn't be worried.

The old lady was picking the grain with the dustpan, and the old man was dizzy, so she opened her mouth to complain.

"What's wrong with you these two days, I can't sleep well at night, and it's like this during the day! If you're idle, go chopping wood, there's a lot of work at home! ”

Tai Sanye glared at her and said angrily, "Of course I have something in my heart, you and I are like you, raising pigs, eating and sleeping, waking up and eating!" ”

The old lady rolled her eyes and raised her bar unconvinced, "I'm wide-hearted and fat, not like you who are careful." The village is doing well now, and there is still the sixth family outside, what is there to worry about? You're just superfluous, thinking about those useless things every day! ”

Tai Sanye's depressed heart was about to explode, and he shouted casually, "You are superfluous, I am worried about business!" The cashmere business of the sixth child's family was robbed! The good days in the village are gone! ”

The old lady was startled, and before she could ask, the lotus flower didn't know where it came from, and shouted at the top of her voice, "Dad, what are you talking about!" How did Uncle Six's cashmere business be robbed? Who snatched it? Don't we have a place to make money in the future? ”

Tai Sanye couldn't wait to plug his daughter-in-law's mouth with a rag, he was careful every day, and in the end he let such a big-mouthed daughter-in-law hear the corner of the wall.

"You shut that mouth for me, for fear that others won't know that you're not dumb!" Tai Sanye scolded loudly, and his face turned dark.

Lotus wanted to continue, but she was so frightened that she swallowed the rest of the words.

In the end, she still muttered unwillingly, "It's your father who said it yourself, I'll just ask casually......"

The old lady pulled her daughter-in-law's ears angrily, "Didn't you go to the row house to help cook, why did you come back?" Are you lazy? ”

The lotus flower protected her ears, her eyes rolled wildly, where did she dare to stay, and she ran out of the yard with a whoosh and disappeared.

It happened that the neighbor's grandfather next door was working, so he heard Fang Cai's words, so he leaned against the wall and shouted, "Uncle San, what's wrong with the cashmere business?" Will the workshop be broken up in the future? ”

Tai Sanye couldn't hide it anymore, and sighed, not knowing how to explain it.

Fortunately, at this time, Tai Yonglu came to invite someone, "Third grandfather, my Uncle Min is a guest, and my grandfather called you to drink together." ”

Tai Sanye got an excuse, and immediately said to the neighbor, "Don't talk nonsense, wait for me to ask your sixth uncle." ”

With that, he lifted his feet and went to the entrance of the village.

As soon as he entered the door, he made amends with his old brother, told him what had just happened, and sighed at the end, "The family is unfortunate, marrying such a daughter-in-law, there is no big bad intention, but it is not liked by people!" ”

Old Man Tai hurriedly persuaded, "Third brother, don't take it seriously, I'm afraid everyone in the city knows about it now, and there's no need to hide it from the clansmen." Even if you don't tell me today, I should tell everyone. ”

Steward Min also hurriedly helped, "Yes, there are more than a dozen merchants in the city who have bought cashmere clothes and pants weaving, and our villagers can hear about it as long as they enter the city, and they can't hide it at all." ”

Tai Sanye breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still guilty, and secretly decided that after his son came back, he still had to punish his daughter-in-law and change her broken mouth!

At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside the courtyard.

Tai Sanye's heart instantly lifted, thinking that the villagers knew the news and came to inquire!
