Chapter 25 Keeping the Word

Three days later.

Chen Honghai and several other uncles, with a few villagers, gathered in front of Chen Jing's dilapidated house.

At this moment, the blue brick and white stone wall has been repaired. Chen Honghai pointed to the three-person high wall in front of him and nodded: "I didn't expect that this Jing'er could build such a high wall in a short period of time." ”

"Owner, is it true that in the future, every family in our Chenjiazhuang will be like Chen Jing's family?"

Chen Honghai shook his head with a smile: "It's not every household, it's us who have to build high walls around Chenjiazhuang, so let's put it this way, have you seen the city wall in Qingyuan County?" ”

Yes!

Several villagers widened their eyes and were surprised, and some of them asked puzzledly, "That will cost a lot of money, right?" ”

"yes, what is he trying to do?"

Chen Honghai glanced at a few villagers: "Rat's eyes, what do you know, this is called taking precautions, haven't you heard that several villages in Linxian County have been looted by refugees and displaced people, and some villagers have been killed, Jing'er is doing this for all of us, as for the money, ......"

He said and looked at the blue brick and white stone wall, and muttered, "Jing'er said that he came to find a way, it is really righteous!" ”

Several uncles also nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, this is not only to take everyone to make money and build a high wall for my Chenjiazhuang, it is said that Chen Jing is ready to solve the matter of our official food?" ”

Chen Honghai nodded slightly, and said with a bit of respect on his face: "Jing'er, it is really my lucky star of Chenjiazhuang, and the savior of all of us!" ”

"I'm just afraid...... The owner of the village, a few uncles, this Chen Jing may not want to solve the matter of official food, right? ”

"Yes, the owner of the village, building a high wall can only prevent refugees and displaced people, and those horse thieves and bandits, but can the officials still stop it?"

"It's better to plan early, he has a relationship with Chen Jing County, but what about us...... Let's go, let's go, go back and think about where to flee. ”

A few villagers said, bowing their heads and muttering: "What a lucky star, what a savior, I don't think it's enough to sweep the snow in front of the door, let's ask for more blessings." ”

Seeing this, Chen Honghai glanced at the villagers who left, and he looked at the dilapidated house with a frown.

At this moment, the "savior" in Chen Hongkou's mouth was lying on the bed, surrounded by five gentle and charming wives.

Su Xiaoyong peeled a grape and said softly: "Husband, open your mouth." ”

Chen Jing, who was squinting, stretched his lips slightly, the ice crystal clear grapes were placed in his mouth, the juice was sweet, and the entrance seemed to have a little bit of Su Xiaoyong's body temperature, and it tasted even more delicious.

And Zheng Shishi, sitting aside, is holding a copy of "The Complete Book of Agricultural Administration of Daxia" in her hand and reading, she is worthy of reading poetry books, her voice is sweet not to say, but also full of rhyme.

Qiu Feifei sat on the bed, holding a lady's fan in her hand, waving it softly from side to side, and at the same time whispered to Chen Jing about the recent operation of Chen Ji's fish stall.

At Chen Jing's feet, Lin Xiaoxi was using both hands to sit and massage his feet, isn't it, she will also ask about strength and technique, Chen Jing will point out a thing or two, and at the same time give a few words of encouragement, Lin Xiaoxi seems to be more motivated to listen, but there is already obvious fragrant sweat flowing out of the fragrant neck and forehead, but this pampered Lin Xiaoxi is enjoying it.

After a while, a burst of aroma of food wafted into the house, and the girls all seemed to smell it, and they all turned their heads to look at the main hall, only to see Wu Sisi putting the last plate of dishes on the table: "Xianggong, sisters, you can eat." ”

Chen Jing said "um", Su Xiaoyong and Qiu Feifei and the two daughters helped him up from the bed, and Lin Xiaoxi picked up the "foot bag" and shoes for Chen Jing to put on.

Accompanied by all the women, Chen Jing slowly walked to the table, he looked at the table full of "fragrant" dishes, and nodded: "Sisi, your skills are getting better and better." ”

beckoning the five daughters to sit down, Chen Jing was about to have dinner with his wives, but saw Zheng Shishi's solemn face, as if she had something on her mind.

"What's wrong with you?"

"I went to teach a few children in the village to read this morning, they said...... Their parents are planning to escape from Chenjiazhuang. ”

"Huh?"

Chen Jing and the other women were stunned: "What's the matter?" ”

Zheng Shishi said: The villagers can't hand over the official grain, for fear of being arrested and forced to serve in the conscription, and then their wives will be separated. ”

Su Xiaoyong hurriedly said: "The husband promised them to help find a way, how can they still ......?" ”

"It seems that someone said behind his back that the husband only knew how to rebuild his own dilapidated house, and he didn't want to solve the matter at all, so the villagers would have this idea."

Qiu Feifei explained on the side.

Zheng Shishi also nodded slightly: "I also heard this statement." ”

Seeing them say this, Chen Jing said lightly: "Why, you don't believe me?" ”

The five girls looked at each other and did not dare to speak, but they all showed suspicious looks in their eyes.

At this moment, outside the door, there was a shocking sound of "people shouting and horses shouting", Chen Jing got up with a smile and said, "Let's go, let's go see Chen Ji's grain convoy!" ”

The women were also confused when they heard this, and they followed Chen Jing out of the broken house.

At this time, Chen Honghai and several uncles, as well as the villagers who were just leaving, gathered around the open space in front of the dilapidated house.

Chen Jing and his five wives also walked out of the courtyard, only to see that the open space was already full of carriages, and on both sides of these carriages were small flags with the words "Chen Ji".

Each handlebar style is also uniformly dressed, and at the same time, they are equipped with waist knives around their waists, and the chests and backs of these people are embroidered with the word "Chen".

Da Niu stepped forward at this time: "Brother Jing, I brought you the grain transportation convoy you asked me to prepare, a total of twenty vehicles, please take a look!" ”

At this moment, Chen Honghai walked up with the villagers, and everyone looked at the twenty carriages in front of them, and they all opened their mouths in surprise.

"Jing, Jing'er, you ...... What are these carriages? ”

Chen Jing smiled and said loudly: "I promise the owner of the village, as well as all the uncles and villagers, to help you solve the problem of official food, of course, I can't be untrustworthy." ”

He said and pointed to the convoy in front of him: "Tomorrow, I will take people to buy grain, and let everyone have grain before the government collects the official grain, so that everyone will not be punished for this." ”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Honghai said loudly: "What am I talking about...... Jing'er will definitely not lie to us, he will definitely help our people in Chenjiazhuang find a way, now you don't have to be afraid, wait for Jing'er to buy us food back at home! ”

The villagers bowed to Chen Jing and thanked him.

And at this moment, just behind the firewood pile not far away, Huang Ergou gritted his teeth, looked at Chen Jing with hatred in his eyes and said, "You wait for me, our business is not over yet!" ”
