Mrs. Ji's eyes widened suddenly: "Wanwan?!"
Ji Wan finally realized what she said in a hurry, she quickly covered her mouth, and hid behind Qiao Wei's back even more, refusing to come out.
Cockfighting is not an unforgivable event. From the princes and nobles to the peddlers, there are people who are very enthusiastic about cockfighting. Many casinos in the Liang Dynasty have set up cockfighting projects, and there are also special cockfighting grounds. The business is not bad. Hot.
It is said that Tang Minghuang loved cockfighting very much back then, and he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to build a super luxurious chicken workshop in the palace, where people raised chickens, trained chickens, and cockfighted. It can be seen how popular and popular cockfighting was in ancient times when there was no entertainment.
Qiao Wei has been traveling for so long, and has never seen a cockfight, but she also knows that cockfighting is only a game played by men, and women generally don't touch their hands.
Women playing cockfights and going to gambling houses and brothels with women are of the same nature, and they are not tolerated by the ethics of this era, let alone this woman is the old lady of the Ji family. Except for the current queen mother, which old lady's status is too precious? she goes? Fortunately, she didn't set an example for the old ladies, but imitated those young people who had nothing to do, and ran to fight cocks.
Only Ji Wan and Ji Mingxiu knew this secret, because Ji Mingxiu bought those two chickens for her.
Ji Shuang opened her mouth wide and said in disbelief, "Mother, you said you raised chickens to grow vegetables to create a small vegetable garden, but it turned out that it was just for cockfighting! No wonder you didn't do it when I said kill them and eat them?!"
Mrs. Ji looked like a child who had made a mistake and was caught, turning sideways, rubbing the handkerchief in her hand, blushing with anger.
Ji Shangqing's temples throbbed, "Mother!"
Mrs. Ji curled her lips resentfully.
She is getting old and has only such a few hobbies, what should she do
Ji Shangqing didn't even know what to say.
The house was eerily quiet.
Ji Shuang said fearlessly: "Mother is fighting cocks, what's wrong with me opening a brothel? Is it hindering you, brother?"
"shut up!"
Ji Shangqing yelled, and Ji Shuang was so frightened that she wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost.
Ji Sheng persuaded: "Brother, don't..."
"And you!"
Ji Sheng shut his mouth obediently.
Ji Sheng and the third younger brother are not brothers of Ji Shangqing's mother, and I don't know if it's because of this, Ji Shangqing treats them very harshly, and the experience of being beaten up by his elder brother when he was a child is unforgettable, even after so many years, his ass still hurts when he thinks about it .
Ji Wan was about to run away, but within two steps, Ji Shangqing yelled back, "Dare to break your leg!"
Ji Wan is frozen, she is the only one in the whole world who is under the control of her father even though she is married!
Ji Wan obediently returned to her seat.
Usually at such times, Ji Mingxiu is the only one who has the courage to fight against Ji Shangqing, but Ji Mingxiu is not here today.
Xun Lan sat quietly, without saying a word.
Mrs. Li was also quiet, but Mrs. Li's back was drenched in cold sweat. The elder brother had never beaten her, but she was inexplicably afraid. Anyway, the whole family was afraid of the elder brother.
Ji Shangqing took a deep breath and said, "I'll give you one day to shut down everything that should be shut down."
"big… "
Just as Ji Shuang was about to speak, Aunt Qin covered her mouth.
Ji Shangqing gave Ji Shuang a serious look, and the children in Ji Shuang's stomach felt the terror of the uncle, and they punched and kicked in the stomach.
Ji Shangqing slowed down her tone: "Mother, if you are lonely, let Jing Yun and Wang Shu go over to accompany you."
Mrs. Ji is suffering in her heart, she just stays with her, and fights cocks together every day, the fight is really good! You lost the chickens, what can I use to play with them!
In a criticism meeting, Ji Shangqing offended several younger siblings, including his old mother.
"My son will take you back." Ji Shangqing went to help Mrs. Ji.
"Hmph!" Mrs. Ji withdrew her hand and rolled her eyes, "Xiaowei, let's go!"
Qiao Wei held the old lady's arm very obediently.
Ji Wan also hurriedly grabbed her grandmother's other arm, for fear of attracting the old father's attention by staying here.
Ji Shangqing said solemnly: "Ji Wan, don't think that I can't control you after you marry someone. I will check your land."
Ji Wan: "!"
I knew I wouldn't be here today!
The old lady was very sad about losing the chicken. Ji Wan originally wanted to take Jingyun Wangshu to the Duke's Mansion for a few days, but she was not ashamed, so she stayed here to comfort her grandmother's wounded heart.
What a miserable thing to have such an unkind son.
"Now you know how much my father hates you, don't you?" After leaving Luomei Courtyard, Ji Wan complained with a dark face.
"Well..." Qiao Wei touched her chin. She used to think that her father-in-law was quite annoying, but now, that hatred seems to have been diluted.
In any case, he was at least a man of integrity.
Ji Wan stomped her feet angrily: "How many years have I endured to escape his clutches, and now he still cares about me like this!"
Qiao Wei said: "Is it okay for someone to take care of me? I really like being taken care of by my father. This shows that he really loves me."
Bi'er came over in a hurry: "Miss, the master just sent someone a message saying that he forgot to tell you last time. Your handwriting is not good. I'm afraid you will lose face at your husband's house. Remember to practice thousands of characters every day. Check back."
Qiao Wei exploded instantly: "I'm already married and he still cares about me! Isn't it too much?!"
Ji Wan: "..."
…
As night fell, Qiao Wei sent Ji Wan out of Ji's mansion and onto a carriage.
Sitting on a soft cushion, Ji Wan held a Tang Pozi, and said to Qiao Wei standing outside the window: "Okay, I'm leaving, I'll come pick up Jing Yun and Wang Shu in a few days."
Qiao Wei smiled slightly: "Sister, go slowly."
After all, help her put down the curtain.
Ji Wan raised the curtain again with a swipe.
Qiao Wei looked at her strangely: "Eldest sister, is there anything else?"
Ji Wan hesitated for a moment, then frowned and said, "There were so many people just now, I'm not ashamed to ask, what's going on with you and my brother?"
Qiao Wei looked at her puzzled: "What's going on?"
Ji Wan gave her a small cold look: "Isn't it strange that he asked me to take care of you but didn't let me tell you?"
"Yeah." Qiao Wei took it seriously, thinking of something, her eyes moved, "Is that why you came to Ji's house tonight? Are you afraid that I can't handle aunt?"
Who's worried that you can't handle her? Maybe you don't have to hang out with Ji's house anymore, I'm just here to join in the fun, okay
It's a pity that the excitement was all over, and the secret was discovered.
If I had known earlier, it would be better to play a horse crane at home!
Ji Wan gritted her teeth with hatred, looked at Qiao Wei's smooth forehead, raised her finger, and flicked Qiao Wei, only to see that finger swell up at a visible speed.
Qiao Wei opened her mouth: "Are you okay?"
Ji Wan held her finger that was swollen like a steamed bun, and glared at her: "What do you think? What kind of head do you have? Is it made of iron!"
Qiao Wei spread her hands: "You want to play me."
Blame me slightly.
Didn't Ji Wan come to argue with her? She shook her hands and got down to business: "Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? What happened to you and my brother?"
Qiao Wei looked blank: "It's nothing, did he tell you what happened to us?"
Ji Wan said, "I've told you that I'm here to ask you?"
Qiao Wei frowned strangely: "There's really nothing wrong with us, we didn't quarrel, and we didn't blush, just..."
"What is it?" Ji Wan asked.
It was that he seemed unhappy when he left, but she really didn't remember what she did to make him unhappy.
"Nothing." Qiao Wei shook her head.
Ji Wan said solemnly: "Let me tell you, my younger brother never had any other women before you, so don't bully him."
Qiao Wei glared: "It's as if I had another man!"
Ji Wan looked at her and squinted her eyes.
Qiao Wei coughed lightly: "I didn't have anything to do with Prince Yin."
Ji Wan sighed helplessly: "Forget it, when he comes back, I'll ask him myself, you go back and rest, I'm leaving."
Qiao Wei waved her hand: "Goodbye, big sister."
Ji Wan nodded and got into the carriage.
The night was low and the wind was bleak. The mighty team stopped in the canyon. The guards got busy, pitching tents and lighting a bonfire. Soon, a refreshing fragrance wafted in the canyon.
Ji Mingxiu sat cross-legged in the tent, in front of him was a small table, on which were neatly placed several memorials, the ones on the left were from the palace, and the ones on the right were about to be sent to the palace.
Ji Mingxiu finished writing a memorial, put it in an envelope, dripped wax, and stamped it with a seal.
The prince came in wrapped in a cloak, trembling and said, "Why is it colder than my tent!"
Saying that, he lay down on the ground covered with a thin mattress, and pulled Ji Mingxiu's quilt over it, "Fourth Uncle is busy with his own work, don't worry about me."
After a pause, he said again: "Dinner is ready, call me."
Ji Mingxiu didn't speak, but picked up another envelope and stamped it with wax.
The dim candlelight shone on his jade mask, making people feel rather cold instead of warm.
The prince wrapped the quilt tightly, looked at him strangely, saw that he always ignored him, stuck out a hand from under the quilt, and rummaged on his desk.
"What are you looking for?" Ji Mingxiu asked calmly.
"Eat." The crown prince was hungry. After driving for a few days, he didn't have a good meal. He was going crazy from hunger.
Ji Mingxiu said calmly, "I don't have any here."
"Oh? Yes?" The prince opened Ji Mingxiu's box, and found a brocade box inside, which contained four salted eggs, four preserved eggs, and eight... bird eggs
Ji Mingxiu glanced at it and was a little taken aback, not knowing that she was still pretending.
The prince peeled off a bird egg, which was small in size just like the preserved egg, but the taste was more fragrant and glutinous than the preserved egg, and it didn't have such a strong fishy smell.
The prince liked it very much and ate four or five of them in one go.
"It's not good to eat too much." Ji Mingxiu took the box over.
The prince was still not satisfied, smacked his lips, grabbed a report, it was from the palace, flipped through it, found it boring, and threw it back on the table.
Suddenly, he sharply saw a ray of jade-like pearl reflected in Ji Mingxiu's arms, sat up straight, and took out the faintly glowing thing.
It is a white magnolia hosta with a wooden body. The quality of the jade is excellent and the workmanship is exquisite. The white magnolia is lifelike, as if you can smell a faint fragrance.
The prince asked curiously: "Which woman is it, fourth uncle?"
Ji Mingxiu glanced at him lightly and ignored him.
The prince looked over and over again, and after a while, he saw the trick: "I recognized it. This hairpin belongs to Princess Zhaoming. My mother's queen also has one, but my mother's queen's is white peony, and Princess Zhaoming's is white magnolia. Made by a craftsman, what was that craftsman's name? Hu? Lou? Forgot."
Ji Mingxiu said, "You talk a lot today."
The prince hummed speciously: "Why don't you give it to my fourth aunt?"
Ji Mingxiu's writing pen stopped, and she gave it away, and she threw it away again.
…
The window lattice was whimpered by the cold wind. Qiao Wei took a hot bath comfortably and lay down on the big soft bed, covered with a warm quilt. His breath faintly remained on the quilt and pillow. Yes, it smells very good.
Qiao Wei closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
The earth dragon was burned in the house.
Qiao Wei wrapped the quilt tightly, feeling that it was not warm enough.
At daybreak, Qiao Wei was awakened by the biological clock in her body. The daughter-in-law of the aristocratic family is actually not easy to do. Although she does not have to get up early to work, she has to get up early to say hello. It stands to reason that the two children can also get up, but it is too early. , Qiao Wei couldn't bear to wake them up.
After Qiao Wei washed and dressed neatly, she went to Tongyuan to greet Ji Shangqing and Xun Lan.
"I plan to go to Zhuangzi again today." Qiao Wei said after paying her respects.
Xun Lan said softly: "Don't worry about renting a house. It's just for you to practice and practice. It doesn't matter if you get it or not. I'll arrange a new job for you later."
Qiao Wei said, "I'm not going to collect rent."
Xun Lan smiled softly: "Then what are you going to do? Visit those tenant farmers? That's okay too. On behalf of the Ji family, go to condolences to them, and tell them whether this incident is the Ji family's fault, and the Ji family will compensate them .”
Qiao Wei shook her head: "It's not this, it's the fields. There are hundreds of acres of fields in the village, and most of them are not harvested well. I want to see how to solve them."
Xun Lan took a sip of tea.
Ji Shangqing looked at her in surprise and said, "Do you know how to farm?"
Qiao Wei said: "I know a thing or two. If my father doesn't dislike it, I want to go and see again. The soil there is poor, but it is not impossible. If so many acres of fields can be turned into good fields, the harvest will be great. gone."
Ji Shangqing nodded: "You go."
Qiao Wei saluted, then stepped back slowly, just as she reached the door, Ji Shangqing said again: "You come back from Zhuangzi, remember to come to Tongyuan, I have something to see you."
Qiao Wei froze for a moment, and said, "Okay."
Xun Lan put the teacup on the tray, and gently wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, her expression elegant.
…
The efficiency of some aspects of the Ji family is quite high. When Qiao Wei arrived at Zhuangzi, the new steward had already taken office. His surname was Xie. He was an old man in his early fifties. It is said that he was personally selected by the housekeeper of the Ji family. He is upright and diligent. Diligence, as soon as he came, he started condolence work from house to house.
Earlier Guanshi Cai was beaten, fined, kicked out of Ji's house, and never hired.
At his age, he was kicked out by the Ji family, so he couldn't survive in the capital.
"Young madam." Manager Xie was halfway through his sympathy work, when he heard that the master of the Ji family was coming, he hurriedly greeted him.
Qiao Wei looked at him, he was indeed an honest person, so she didn't know what was going on in his bones, but Ji Shangqing personally ordered, and Ji Butler personally selected him, so his character would not be too bad.
Qiao Wei nodded slightly: "Thank you, housekeeper, let the tenants gather in your yard later, I have something to say."
"yes!"
Steward Xie took the order to go, and in about a quarter of an hour, he brought back seventeen or eighteen tenant farmers, "Young Madam, these are all capable of work."
"I see." Qiao Wei nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."
Manager Xie smiled and said, "Young ones should do it, Madam, you don't have to be polite."
Most of the dozen or so tenant farmers were young and middle-aged, without the uncles and aunts they met last night. Everyone looked at Qiao Wei vigilantly, as if they blamed Qiao Wei for the kidnapping of their sister.
It is understandable for them to think so. In their eyes, no matter whether it is Ji Shuang or the young lady, they are all the masters of the Ji family. Just put on a merciful face.
Manager Xie said: "Don't misunderstand the young lady, this time the young lady brought the girls back. In order to save people, the young lady smashed all the taverns."
"Who opened the tavern? How was it disposed of?" asked a young man.
Guanshi Xie said: "Don't you all know how to deal with it? Guanshi Cai and his wife were beaten to a bloody mess and thrown out of the Ji family. After that, they will fend for themselves and have nothing to do with the Ji family! You can rest assured, Farm well, and I assure you, nothing like this will ever happen again."
Everyone looked at each other and nodded to each other.
Qiao Wei took a look at Guanshi Xie. He was an honest person on the surface, but he also had some tricks in his stomach. He didn't lie, but he just picked Ji Shuang clean. Qiao Wei looked away and looked at everyone: "Your field , I read it yesterday. The reason for the poor harvest is mainly due to two factors: one is that the soil improvement measures are not enough, and the other is that the crops are wrong. Whose family owns the fields in the east and north? "
Seven or eight tenant farmers stood up and said, "Ours."
Qiao Wei said: "The soil in your fields is slightly acidic. Before farming, you should apply enough base fertilizer to improve the permeability and water retention of the soil. It is best to carry out crop rotation, such as planting rice in one season and rape in the other. Of course, You can also choose other types, it mainly depends on your own needs.”
Everyone nodded in astonishment.
Qiao Wei looked at the remaining ten people: "The fields in the south and west belong to you?"
"Yes, young lady." The young man who had just asked the tavern said.
Qiao Wei said unhurriedly: "Your fields are sandy loam soil. Although it is barren, you can grow good things without deliberate improvement."
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Qiao Wei said: "Sandy loam soil is very suitable for growing grapes."
"Grapes?" Everyone was startled, what they wanted to grow was food, and grapes were not food!
Although grapes are not food, in Qiao Wei's opinion, they are already the best crops that can be cultivated at present.
Grapes like poor soil, especially sandy loam. Sandy loam is slightly alkaline, has good air permeability and rich calcium, which is very conducive to the growth of grapes.
Being able to grow is the second thing. Second, although grapes are not grain, they are very delicious fruits, and the selling price is not bad, not worse than growing grain.
Qiao Wei said: "You just plant it, how to sell it is the business of the Ji family, as much as you plant, the Ji family will want as much, and your grapes will not rot on the shelf. Are you selling for money, or do you want to exchange grapes?" Food is fine."
Strictly speaking, they are sharecroppers, handing over half of the harvest each year, and keeping the rest for themselves. There is no difference between giving half of the grapes and half of the food, but they keep the other half of the food for themselves, which happens to fill their stomachs, but can grapes and grapes fill their stomachs? Now the young lady said that if she can help them sell it, then there is nothing to worry about.
Everyone looked at Qiao Wei again. She was dressed like a nobleman, but she knew so many ways of farming. The curious young man couldn't help but asked, "Young Madam, how come you know how to farm?"
Qiao Wei smiled slightly, like mountain flowers blooming gorgeously in the bleak autumn wind: "Because I planted it before."
Ah, the young lady has also planted land
Everyone's jaws were about to drop.
The young ladies of the Ji family are all delicate young ladies, how could there be any land that has been planted
She speaks well and doesn't appear to be lying.
Qiao Wei said again: "The Ji family will send you the seeds at that time, don't plant them blindly, I will ask someone who has done so to teach you."
Everyone was even more surprised.
The meaning of sending the seeds... is that they don't need to buy it themselves? Also invite a special person to teach, this... this is... so that they don't know what to say.
Qiao Wei got up and left.
Manager Xie left Qiao Wei for dinner, but Qiao Wei declined.
Manager Xie joked, "I won't let Young Madam eat pickles."
Qiao Wei couldn't help laughing: "I'm not afraid of eating pickles, it's getting late, and there are two children at home."
Only then did Guanshi Xie remember that the Young Madam and the Young Master already had flesh and blood.
Pregnant before marriage is not a glorious thing in the Daliang Dynasty. In this way, she can marry into the Ji family and take over the general affairs of the Ji family in such a short period of time, which shows that she is not ordinary capable.
In his heart, Manager Xie didn't dare to neglect this new wife, and respectfully sent him to the carriage.
Bi'er also got into the carriage, and the coachman put away the stool and was about to leave with a whip when a few tenant farmers ran over, led by that curious young man.
With a few sweet potatoes in his arms, the young man stuffed them into the carriage.
After he finished stuffing, the tenant farmers behind him also stuffed their thank you gifts into the carriage one after another. There were sweet potatoes, pumpkins, radishes, eggplants, and two hot eggs, which were just laid.
Qiao Wei looked at the things on the floor, and then at the farmer not far away, hiding at home, sticking his head out to look here, and smiled knowingly: "Thank you."
Although it is not a valuable item, it is already the best they can come up with.
Qiao Wei asked Manager Xie for a basket, packed the things, and returned to the capital.
Bi'er thought to herself that her wife would really treat this little thing as a thing, and other masters would not even take a look at it. Therefore, those who have suffered hardships are different after all. How could those masters of the Ji family understand The hard work of the farmer uncle? The food wasted every day is enough for ordinary people's households to spend for a year.
Qiao Wei remembered Ji Shangqing's instructions, went to Qinglianju to tidy up, and then went to Tongyuan with a food box.
Brother Liu caught a cold at night and sneezed a few times during the day, so it took a while to ask the doctor for diagnosis and treatment. The other yards had already had dinner, and the food from Tongyuan had just been served.
Xun Lan smiled gracefully: "Haven't you eaten yet? Mother Zhou, add some tableware quickly."
"Yes." Mother Zhou set the tableware with a smile, looked at the food box in her hand and said, "What did the young lady mention?"
Qiao Wei opened the food box and brought out the cooked sweet potatoes: "It was given by the tenant farmer. I cooked a little and brought it here for my father and wife to taste."
Mother Zhou secretly rolled her eyes. Sweet potatoes were used to feed pigs at Ji's house, but she had the nerve to put them on the master and wife's dining table, otherwise she is a country girl, how stingy!
Qiao Wei took a piece with her serving chopsticks and gave it to Ji Shangqing: "This is a sweet potato, has my father eaten it?"
Ji Shangqing took a sip, it was sweet and soft, and the taste was not bad: "It's the first time I've eaten it."
Qiao Wei smiled and said: "Sweet potatoes can nourish deficiency, strengthen energy, strengthen spleen and stomach, strengthen kidney yin, and make people live longer and less sick. Father can eat a little bit every day."
Zhou's mother said in a joking tone: "Master of a rich family, who would eat this? It really needs to nourish the body. Our Ji family can't finish eating bird's nest and ginseng."
"Bird's nest ginseng is also excellent."
Qiao Wei didn't refute Zhou's mother's words, but it seemed that Zhou's mother was a bit harsh.
Mother Zhou cleared her throat embarrassingly.
Xun Lan took a piece: "I've eaten it before, it doesn't seem as sweet as this."
"I want to eat too." Brother Liu said.
Xun Lan paused, and took a small piece for him.
Children like the taste of sweet potatoes very much. Brother Liu wanted to eat a piece, but Xun Lan didn't move. Ji Shangqing gave him some: "Eat more, when you grow up and go to fiefdom, you must know the hardships of farmers." .”
Someone in the ancestors of the Ji family had granted the title of king of the opposite sex. After three generations of hereditary inheritance, the king was canceled, but the fief was still there, and the fief was only passed on to the heirs of the first generation. The second and third wives of this generation were not eligible to inherit. The family was raised as a man, but strictly speaking, only a little farm was allocated.
The three cities and seventeen towns of the Ji family are all under the name of Ji Shangqing.
Mingxiu will inherit most of the fiefdoms in the future, but as the head of the Ji family, he will still live in the capital. Everyone probably understands what Ji Shangqing means by letting Brother Liu grow up and move to his own fiefdom.
Xun Lan took a bite of white rice.
After dinner, Ji Shangqing called Qiao Wei to the study.
Ji Shangqing's study is almost exactly the same as Ji Mingxiu's. It sounds simple and grand at best, and old-fashioned at worst, but it is more in line with the current aesthetics.
Qiao Wei entered the room.
Ji Shangqing sat down at the desk.
With tea warming on the stove, Qiao Wei poured a cup and presented it to him with both hands.
He took it and put it on the table: "You did a good job."
Qiao Wei blinked strangely, what did you do well? Improvements to the Grange? About smashing the tavern? Ji Shuang was exposed
Ji Shangqing didn't answer Qiao Wei's questions.
The father and son actually have many similarities. For example, they are a little taciturn, and they both like to keep half of what they say.
Ji Shangqing opened the drawer and took out a box with a key inside. He handed the key to Qiao Wei, and glanced at the opposite cabinet: "Go and open it."
Qiao Wei took the key and walked to a big iron cabinet. This cabinet is not made of ordinary steel, it is extremely hard, and the shape of the lock is very weird. In an instant, Qiao Wei thought of a modern safe, although the principle is different. , but the function is probably the same.
Qiao Wei opened Ji Shangqing's "safe", it was empty, there was nothing, only a letter.
"Bring it here." Ji Shangqing said.
Qiao Wei took out the envelope. The envelope was a bit heavy, but it didn't contain a letter.
"Open it." Ji Shangqing said again.
Qiao Wei opened the envelope and poured out a golden key from inside.
The Ji family is so rich that they actually use gold as keys.
Qiao Wei handed the key to Ji Shangqing.
Ji Shangqing didn't answer, but said: "You take it."
"Huh?" Qiao Wei was taken aback.
Ji Shangqing has always been unsmiling. Under normal circumstances, his expression is a bit fierce. People who are not familiar with him will think that he is angry: "From today on, it is yours, so please keep it safe."
Qiao Wei looked at the golden key in her hand, and asked puzzledly, "Where is this key, father?"
The keys are all gold, so is the door also gold
Could be a big treasure trove
treasure
Qiao Caifan's eyes began to glow green.
Ji Shangqing said: "You will know later."
Qiao Wei firmly believed that this was the key to a big treasure house, so she accepted it very bluntly, and said happily, "Father, don't worry, I'll go back and find a red string to string it up, and wear it every day, so I promise not to lose it!"
The father-in-law usually looks fierce, but he is actually very rich. Once he makes a move, he is a treasure house, and he has made a lot of money!
Ji Shangqing nodded: "It's nothing, you can go back to the yard."
Qiao Wei saluted with a smile, turned around and left the spot, just as one foot crossed the threshold, Ji Shangqing stopped her: "Mingxiu..."
"Huh?" Qiao Wei turned around and looked at Ji Shangqing suspiciously.
Ji Shangqing paused: "It's nothing, let's go down."
As expected of a father and son, they couldn't finish a sentence!
Qiao Wei scratched her heart and lungs, and for the sake of the treasure house (actually it's just a golden key), she didn't care about it with the old man.
Qiao Wei hummed a little tune and came to the front yard.
Xun Lan was holding a pair of scissors, cutting the peonies on the flowering branches. The moonlight shone on her, and she was tall and tall, as beautiful as a fairy.
Qiao Wei smiled faintly: "Madam, I will take my leave first, and I will come back tomorrow to say hello to you."
Xun Lan turned sideways, looked at her, paused for a moment on her key, then quickly moved away, and nodded slightly: "Go."
Qiao Wei straightened out her small chest gracefully.
Mother Zhou came over with a basin of cold water. Now she couldn't hide her dislike for Qiao Wei even more. She gave Qiao Wei a hard look. When she passed by Qiao Wei, Qiao Wei suddenly stretched out her feet. She stumbled, threw herself on the ground with a basin, mud gnawed into her mouth, cold water splashed all over her body, and her underpants were soaked.
The maids covered their mouths and laughed.
Mother Zhou cursed.
Qiao Wei left Tongyuan in a good mood.
…
But it was said that Zhou's mother was tripped by Qiao Wei, held a grudge, and went out of the mansion overnight behind Xun Lan's back. They are servants who don't show their mountains or dews on weekdays. At critical moments, there are still a lot of heresy.
She spent money to buy a bag of poisonous snakes from a little ruffian, and brought them back to Ji's mansion.
She carried the snake and took a small path to Qinglianju. She remembered that there was a bath in Qinglianju. The bath was connected to the west wall, and there was a dog hole there. gap.
She only needs to put the poisonous snake in, so she doesn't worry about getting into the upper room.
Damn girl, dare to trip her
I can't kill you!
Mother Zhou smeared realgar on her hands, but the poisonous snake didn't bite her. She grabbed the snakes out of the bag and stuffed them into the dog's hole one by one.
Xiaobai was lying in the grass playing with the baby earth dragon. While playing, a poisonous snake came in, and Xiaobai's eyes lit up!
Rushing back to the house, he brought his little pannier.
It grabbed the poisonous snake and put it in a small pannier.
Soon, the second poisonous snake also came in.
Wow!
There are still!
Xiaobai grabbed his own small pannier again.
Xiaobai has one on the left and one on the right, filling the small pan to the brim, and there is one left, which cannot fit.
Xiaobai covered the small back basket, grabbed the last poisonous snake and jumped onto the wall.
Mother Zhou put away the sack, smiled triumphantly, and left without looking back.
Oh, it turned out that this human being released it!
I thought she was a bad person, but I didn't expect her to be a good person!
Those who gave Xiaobai Viper were all good people!
Xiaobai chased after him, trying to return the last poisonous snake to Mother Zhou.
Mother Zhou entered Tongyuan.
A servant girl came up to greet her: "Mom, where did you go just now? Madam is looking for you?"
Mother Zhou's eyes flashed, and she said with a smile, "What does Madam want from me?"
The maid said: "I don't know, why don't you ask yourself, Madam is taking a bath."
"Okay, okay!" Zhou's mother went back to the house first, fetched water, washed the realgar off her hands, changed into clean clothes, and then went to Xun Lan's house.
As soon as Xiaobai entered Tongyuan, he lost Zhou's mother. He searched for every room, and there was a room that was particularly warm, fragrant, and warm, like the smell of Xiaowei.
Xiaobai ran in sloppily, saw the fragrant beauty in the bath, and sprayed out nosebleeds!
It quickly covered its nose, loosened its hand, and the poisonous snake fell into the pond.
