Rebirth and farming: the prosperous days of the eldest sister of Nongmen

Chapter 81 Draw the line
The weather was gradually getting warmer, and because of an illness a year ago, Shen She could only go for a walk in the mountains with his classmates, as a way to exercise.Although the grass and green leaves haven't grown yet on the mountain, the fresh air still makes people clear their minds, and Shen She couldn't help but wander around in the mountains.

When I was at the foot of the mountain, I heard that there was a small Taoist temple here, so Zeng Chu pulled Shen She to go over to find out.When I was about to reach the Taoist temple, I saw a young man in rich clothes wandering around the entrance of the Taoist temple from a distance, his behavior was very suspicious.

Shen She thought it was some messy matter, and when he was about to turn around and leave, Zeng Chu grabbed his hand and said mysteriously: "Why are you going? Let me tell you, that's Yan Jing, a well-known member of our Xunyang Mansion. Great filial son."

Yan Cong, isn't that the elder brother of Yan Mu, the little Mr. Ye Xingpu?When Shen She thought of this, he stopped. Seeing that Shen She was interested, Zeng Chu told the whole story about Yan Cong: "It turned out that their Yan family was also well-off, but his father, Master Yan, was cheated for a while. The family lost a lot of money. After Mr. Yan left, his wife, Mrs. Wu, gave birth to his younger brother, Yan Mu, who also fell ill. This Yan Yan insisted on going door to door to the creditor’s house to guarantee the repayment of the money. Then he worked hard to make money for a few years He paid off his debts and sent his younger brother to school."

Zeng Chu also admired Yan Cong's experience. He thought to himself that if the same thing happened to him, he might not have the courage. This is one of the reasons why his sister always said that he was not motivated.But it was fine for his own sister to say that, and that arrogant and illiterate Lin Xuelan dared to say that, which made Zeng Chu unbearable.

"Let me tell you, everyone in Xunyang Mansion now gives a thumbs up when Yan Yan is mentioned, even my parents and sisters. I also admit that I can't do it, but that Lin Xuelan has What qualifications can you say about me..." Zeng Chu felt that he had finally gone out to relax, but it reminded him that Lin Xuelan was too uncomfortable, and he had to complain to Shen She.

But Shen She's mind was not on this at all, he just wondered why Yan Cong was sneaking around outside the Taoist temple: "Why does he walk around outside the Taoist temple, this Taoist temple is not very famous, right?"

"Huh? Maybe, maybe I'm waiting for someone. This wilderness is easy to do!" Zeng Chu scolded Lin Xuelan before he was addicted to scolding, but was interrupted by Shen She. He was about to say something casually, and suddenly thought of something, and suddenly After a while, he said, "Maybe I'm waiting for someone, and it has to be done in such a sparsely populated place."

"Why, do you know what happened to him recently?"

"A friend of mine told me that Yan Cong had asked someone about saltpeter some time ago. If the person hadn't said that he didn't have any saltpetre and couldn't get it, and promised that he would not do dangerous things, otherwise he would have just As soon as he came back from Lingnan, the government could suspect that he was recruited by those tribes. Anyway, he is a bit dangerous, so please keep Miss Ye away from him." When Zeng Chu found out about this, he planned to find an opportunity to remind him. Ye Xing, but now Lin Xuelan and his sister are handkerchiefs and go to his house to play every day, he was so angry with Lin Xuelan that he forgot about it.

Shen She frowned when he heard the word saltpeter, and said to Zeng Chu: "You can't talk nonsense about this matter, if word spreads out, he might be targeted by the government."

"I can assure you that this matter is absolutely true. It was said by a very reliable brother of mine. However, he also knew that this matter was too serious, so he didn't dare to speak out. Presumably it was Yan Yan who didn't know what saltpeter was. I asked, otherwise it would be my turn to know."

Before Shen She heard Shen Xi talk about Yan Cong, at that time he thought Yan Cong was a mature man in his thirties, but today he saw that he was so young.It is not an easy person to be able to pay off the family's debts in just a few years. No matter whether he asked about saltpeter on purpose or not, Ye Xing must be on guard against him, and if necessary, he will stop cooperating with him. matter.

Shen She thought that she couldn't stand here anymore, so she hurriedly found an excuse to leave, "I'm not feeling well, I'm going back first, and I'll come out with you next time."

All the way, Shen She asked Zhishu to drive the carriage as fast as possible to Ye Niangzi's restaurant. The sound of the horse's hooves kicking made Ye Xing, who was joking with the guests, turn his head to look at the carriage.Because after Ye Xing had put Shen She as her younger brother in her heart, when she saw Shen She got off the carriage and came over, she felt nothing but surprise in her heart.

"Mr. Shen seems to be coming back from outside. Does he want to buy some snacks for his family to taste?" Ye Xing knew that Shen She must have come from outside when he saw that the cloak on Shen She hadn't been untied yet.

But before Ye Xing finished greeting, Shen She gave Ye Xing a look to let Ye Xing go to the back of the shop. "I have something very important to tell you. Just leave the business in the shop to someone else. It's best not to have a third person in the yard." Shen She's serious look made Ye Xing nervous, and she hurriedly asked the big girl and Mrs. Wang looked at the shop and asked Chunni Chunya to carry Ye Tao back to the house.

"What's so serious that even my mother can't know?" Ye Xing asked Shen She impatiently when there were only two people left in the yard, her voice trembling slightly.

"You don't want to cooperate with Yan Cong anymore. After finishing this winter mango business, you will part ways with him. If something happens to him later, you must kill him and be unfamiliar with him. At that time, my sister and I will speak for you, probably not Being implicated." The government now has very strict control over things like saltpeter, and once it is found out, I am afraid that I will go to prison. How can a weak woman like Ye Xing withstand the torture inside? When Shen She thought of this, she became very anxious.

When Ye Xing heard that it was so serious, she thought that there was something unknown about Yan Jing and asked: "What's wrong, what did he do! Even if I draw a line with him, I have to know what it is."

"Some people say that he has been inquiring about saltpeter in private since he came back from Lingnan." Shen She whispered to Ye Xing, fearing that Ye Xing would not understand what saltpetre is, he explained, "Saltpeter is one of the raw materials for making gunpowder, and he Coming back from that fierce place in Lingnan, even if you and I believe that he is unintentional, the government will not believe it easily."

Yan Cong told her about the seriousness of this matter before, but she never thought that this matter would reach Shen She's ears.If someone listened to it, wouldn't she want to kill Yan Cong?

After Ye Xing heard the words, she didn't immediately express that she wanted to draw a clear line with Yan Cong. Instead, she didn't know what she was thinking. Shen She couldn't help but get a little angry and said, "What are you still hesitating about? It doesn't matter if the fruit is there, there will still be peaches in April and May, why bother with people like him."
