Chapter 509 Fiefdom (2)
"Don't move," Caiyun took a step ahead, slapped his hand, snatched the cloth bag and handed it to the elder sister.

Earlier, seeing the strange smile on the elder sister's face when she was writing on the rag, she felt that what the elder sister wanted must be extraordinary.

Mu Xiang smiled at her appreciatively, and said to Mu Lang earnestly: "Little brother, our life in Beijing is not as simple as it seems on the surface, you have to learn to observe, learn to distinguish who is telling the truth and who is telling the truth. , let me ask you, what did the prince mean when he stopped our carriage?"

Mu Lang thought about it seriously, but with his small brain, he couldn't think of another meaning.

Mu Xiang turned to Cai Yun again, "What do you think? He said that, did he really hate me and warn me, or did he have some ulterior motive?"

"I think his real target may not be you. If you really need to prove it, he can arrest her and let her recognize him, but he didn't. It feels very strange to ask you to go in person," Caiyun He frowned.

It wasn't Mu Xiang who told her about it, but Shi Shi, who came back from the same company yesterday, said it as a joke during breakfast.

"There must be something wrong. Although the prince is not smart, he is not so stupid. If I really go there in person, he will definitely make everyone know. It is not a good thing for Princess Xiang to go to the brothel. If If the story is not good, by the way, even the emperor's impression of me will be greatly reduced," Mu Xiang analyzed and explained to her layer by layer.Although Caiyun is a girl, she should understand the environment she is in, otherwise, how will she live in Beijing in the future?

"How could this be?" Caiyun was stunned, only feeling that the people in the capital are so complicated.

Mu Xiang nodded earnestly, "Of course, do you think that he can sit on the prince's position for so long, is it just a show? You see, if the persuasion fails, he will arrest people. If he can't be caught, he will have to kill him." .”

Caiyun blinked her eyes, tried hard to absorb the meaning of the elder sister's words, and finally uttered, "It's so scary!"

Mu Lang looked at the eldest sister and the second sister, he didn't quite understand what they said before, but he understood the murder after that, and repeated Cai Yun's words, "It's terrible!"

Mu Xiang raised her eyebrows slightly, and while unpacking the package, she said calmly: "What's so terrible about this, as long as we are strong enough, guarded enough, and have enough ideas, how could he take our lives so easily, just wait and see , I will let him know what it means to lift a rock and smash your own foot!"

Tang Hao has been pushed into a hurry by He Liancheng and Mu Xiang recently, and he has lost all prestige in the army, so it's no wonder he wasn't in a hurry.

When people are in a hurry, they tend to be impulsive. In addition, Tang Hao is a high-end person who has never experienced setbacks since he was a child. To deal with a person like him, once he breaks through his psychological defense line, it is a matter of minutes to break through him.

Pu Shanzhuang is located in the south of the capital, and the further south you go, the more uneven the terrain is. Fortunately, the slopes are not too steep, otherwise, Mu Xiang would think that their fertile fields are all terraced fields.

As we all know, the output of terraced fields is not high, and it is just a farming method that villagers living in the mountains have to do.

After less than half an hour's journey, they arrived at Pu Mountain Villa, which is the traditional fiefdom of Helian's family. The people in the village have all planted the land of Lord Helian's family for generations, and some of them have been planting for several generations.

Because Master Helian's family is different from other wealthy households, they don't care too much about the harvest of food. Only the housekeeper will come here once a year when they are plowing in spring and autumn. At other times, they don't even see the master's figure at all.

During the wedding banquet earlier, Mu Xiang said that she would come to the village in two days, so even if there was no advance notice, many people in the village liked to stand at the entrance of the village these two days, looking at the road leading to the capital, looking forward to the new arrival. When will the lady come over?

Kang Bo's carriage came first, and when he saw many people sitting at the entrance of the village, he asked Zhu Zhu to stop the carriage.

"Why are you all sitting here? It's so cold, why don't you go home?" Kang Bo was a kind person, and he smiled at ordinary villagers, without arrogance or disgust at all.

The old men at the entrance of the village knew Kang Bo, and when they saw him coming, they quickly stood up, nodded and bowed to him.

One of them, an old man whose teeth are about to fall out, said: "We are all waiting here. Guess the new lady is coming in two days. Anyway, we old guys are idle at home, so why not Wait here!"

Another hunchbacked old man also said: "On the day of the wedding banquet, all the young people went, pity us old bones, but we didn't see them, regretting it!"

The old man patted his thigh while talking, looking extremely remorseful.

Kang Bo smiled kindly, "Concubine Xiang is here, and she is about to come back. Madam asked me to come over first to make some arrangements. Zhuzi, go and call Zhuangtou. Madam is here, why should he not see me?"

The role of Zhuangtou is equivalent to that of the village head, who is in charge of managing the fief. Because it is different from the position of the village head, it is called Zhuangtou.

The head of the village in Pu Shanzhuang was originally a farmer in the village, and after several years of private school, Kang Bo thought he was a good person, so he promoted him to be the head of the village.

For the convenience of management, the fiefdoms of the Helian family are all concentrated in one place, just outside of Pu Shanzhuang, there is also Wuzhuang not far from here.

Zhuzi asked: "Should I also call the Zhuangtou of Wuzhuang? It's not far away. I'll call this one first, and then go to Wuzhuang?"

"Yes," Compaq felt right.

The old man who had lost his teeth before disagreed, "You have come all the way, so you don't have to run away. I asked my two grandchildren to go for a run. They have fast legs and will come back soon!"

Others also responded.

"Yes, how can I let you run errands."

"That's right, let the little ones go. The manager will go in with us to have a rest. Madam is coming, so we have to make preparations. I'll let people ring the bell and call all the villagers to the ancestral hall!"

The ancestral halls in each village have different functions because of different customs.

Some ancestral halls are specially used to worship ancestors, and some are places for villagers to hold meetings, which are equivalent to village committees.

The ancestral halls on the two villages of Helian's family are the latter. Once the big bell at the entrance of the village rings, all the villagers will rush to the ancestral halls in a short time.
