Chapter 57: Delivering Food
At first glance, he was extremely well protected by a man, and he farmed diligently outside, and he was afraid that his wife who stayed at home would be bored, so he tried his best to make her happy.
The eldest lady has lived for such a long time, and she thinks that she has stepped on more bridges than young people have walked, and she has seen many couples.
There are one or two men who have spare money, so they think about taking a concubine, if they have no money, they are even more eager to treat their mother-in-law as a man, not only to take care of the housework, but also to leave the things in the field behind.
Therefore, the old man went early, she kept a fairly solid family business, and never thought of remarrying, and it would be good to have a child from the clan to support the elderly.
The first time the eldest lady saw such a peculiar couple, the husband completely treated his wife as a fragile crystal glass.
It is as if the wife is a child who has no defense against the outside world, and she is afraid that she will trip over a stone if she walks a few steps on the ground, and she can't wait to hold her even when she walks.
The beauty under the window, lazily lying on the table, her figure is graceful, the clothes on her chest are bulging, and the edges and corners of the wooden table touch the white and tender body, pressing a depression in the softness.
The eldest lady is a person who has come over, and she knows best that men love these places, and no matter how rough a man is, he can't wait to indulge in them.
The eldest lady felt both fortunate and sympathetic to the couple's children.
Fortunately, the father's preference for his mother means that he can also love his children, and all the precious resources of the family are poured into him.
Like those rich people's families, the eldest mother has heard a lot of pickled things about the family's property between the sister-in-law and the concubine.
Sympathy, with a man's possessiveness of his wife, it means that even if it is a child of two, the man will not allow him to take away more of his wife's gaze.
The eldest lady came back to her senses, smiled helplessly, and called out to the beauty who was lying lazily under the window: "Xiaojiao, it's time to eat." “
Qiao Yuan was slightly stunned, and after a while, he realized that he was calling himself, and his face turned red.
It's all because Qi has taken such a strange new name, so she is not delicate.
"Come, come."
At the table, the eldest lady had a whim: "Xiaojiao, I want to go to Sanli Bridge to do something, do you want to go over and send a meal to Da Zhuang by the way." “
Sanli Bridge is a little far away, Qi Cun does not come back to eat at noon, it is said that there will be a meal.
But I also know that the food is definitely not as good as at home, and clearing the wasteland is hard work, if you can't eat enough, where can you stand it.
There are also other men in the village who go to open up the wasteland, and the picky ones all ask their daughters-in-law to come over at noon to deliver food.
The eldest lady has an ox cart at home, and it is also convenient to bring Xiaojiao.
Qiao Yuan thought about it, and didn't have to walk anyway: "Okay." “
Three Mile Bridge
The leader in charge of the reclamation matters, named Li Wei, presented an excerpt.
"The subordinates found out that Zhang Zuoling has bought several properties in Shangjing in recent years, and he is a fourth-grade magistrate, and with his wealth, he can't afford to support these houses."
The house in Shangjing is notoriously expensive, and there were small officials who worked hard for decades to buy a courtyard with two entrances and two exits, and also wrote poems lamenting the twists and turns.
Qi Cun said: "The whereabouts of a huge amount of silver money will definitely leave traces, go and check the flow of Zhang Zuoling's mansion in the past year." “
"In addition, let's check the taxes of the Gongzhou Treasury again."
Zhang Zuoling has taken root in Gongzhou for many years, and he is well versed in the long flow of fine water, and he only fishes a little bit at a time, and accumulates a lot, so that people will not find out.
Now the idea of suddenly going to fight for disaster relief food must be where money is urgently needed, and he is in a hurry to fill it, so he will make such a big move.
Qi Cun browsed the excerpts at a glance and ten lines, and his face became more and more heavy.
He was sturdy, sitting on the majestic Taishi chair, which made people dare not look directly.
The subordinate hung his head.
The atmosphere in the tent was deep, but there was a sudden commotion outside.
Qi Cun had the displeasure of being disturbed on his face.
Li Wei glanced at his face cautiously, and quickly recruited a small soldier to come over and ask him what was going on outside.
Xiao Bing's face couldn't suppress his excitement: "A little lady came out and brought food to his father-in-law." “
Li Wei knows that this kind of thing is common, and these days, the eldest girls and little daughters-in-law in the field have never stopped, and they are all here to deliver food to their families.
Although he was in charge of the reclamation of wasteland, he only acted in accordance with the decree issued by the state government, and at this time Gongzhou was in difficulty, and the funds allocated by the higher authorities were limited.
These days, he eats the food in the camp with Hou Ye, so he naturally knows the difficulties in food.
But Hou Ye swallowed as usual every time, Li Wei knew that Hou Ye didn't like to be special, and he used to eat and live with the soldiers when he was in the army, so it was not good to mention whether to open a small stove.
He turned a blind eye to the delivery of food, and he had never made such a big disturbance before, and he was wondering, listening to Xiaobing speak.
"Although that little lady wears a conical hat, she is definitely a beauty from her posture."
Li Wei was about to reprimand him, when he suddenly heard movement behind him, and when he looked back, he saw that the Taishi chair had fallen to the ground, and the expression on Hou Ye's face was not clear.
Li Wei was stunned, he hadn't seen his wife, but he heard from his companion that he was a great beauty.
"Mrs. Xu is here, and her subordinates will go to greet her."
Before he finished speaking, he saw that Hou Ye, who had always collapsed in front of him and did not change his color, suddenly and eagerly ripped off his clothes, grabbed a handful of ash from the ground and wiped it on his face.
Before he finished speaking, he saw that Hou Ye, who had always collapsed in front of him and did not change his color, suddenly and eagerly ripped off his clothes, grabbed a handful of ash from the ground and wiped it on his face.
Li Wei watched the mighty Hou Ye, who couldn't make a cup of tea, and became a refugee who seemed to have fled.
Qi Cun thought that the eyes of many people outside would fall on the beautiful daughter-in-law, it was like scratching his liver and lungs.
He dressed up and rushed out of the tent eagerly.
Under the remote barren mountain, the ground is messy, and the smell of earth is blowing in the face.
The weather is nice today, the sun is in the sky.
The croppers were not particular about it, and after a morning of cultivation, the young and strong man was sweating profusely, and had already taken off his shirt and sat shirtless on the ground to eat.
The young man is full of energy, and he doesn't stop eating a meal, and the laughter and scolding come and go. The majestic shouts and the abundant heat mixed together, lining the barren mountains with a lot of noise.
The little lady who got off the ox cart suddenly appeared in this messy field.
Dressed in a water-green dress, her fingers holding the hem of her skirt were like tender shallots, she walked carefully along the muddy ridges, her waist curled and as light as a little kingfisher on a branch.
Everyone's eyes slowly focused on her, and several young people were about to move and step forward.
As soon as Qi Cun came out, what he saw was such a scene like a little sheep surrounded by a group of wolves, and the slender little daughter-in-law didn't realize that something was wrong around her, and simply looked around, as if she was looking for someone.
The fire of jealousy seems to be ignited by a thread, and Qi Cun's eyes are bottomless.
Qiao Yuan looked for someone in the field with her eyes, but she didn't see Qi Cun when she searched for it, and was wondering when a tall figure stopped in front of her.
Qi Cun was sweating profusely and stared straight at her.
