Pastoral little master

Chapter 199
Qiduo turned to look at Santao.

Sandao's delicate face was full of anger, and her pink lips were tightly pursed, as if she had been wronged.

Qiduo is a little strange, he didn't provoke her, what kind of anger is he doing?
"Third Sister, what's the matter?" Qi Duo didn't greet her, but asked from a distance.

Sandao turned her head to look at Yang's room, then at Tan Debao, gritted her teeth, hurried down the stone steps, and dragged Qiduo to a remote corner.

Qiduo blinked her eyes, looked at Sandao, but didn't resist, but wanted to see what she wanted to do again.

Sandao stared at Qiduo for a long while, then gritted her teeth and asked in a low voice, "Is what you said just now true?"

"What are you talking about?" Qiduo didn't understand, she had talked a lot with Yang just now, but she didn't know which sentence she was referring to.

However, no matter which sentence, it is true.

It seems that Sandao overheard what he just said to Yang Shi.
"It's about the Han family coming to propose marriage." Sandao said shamefully and angrily.

Looking at Sandao's pink cheeks so red as to bleed, Qi raised her eyebrows slightly, was she angry or ashamed?

However, the Han family came to propose marriage to the eldest sister, so what did Santao do to her, why was she ashamed, why was she angry?

Could it be...

In the blink of an eye, Qiduo suddenly remembered what happened in Yutan Town that time. At that time, she vaguely felt that Sandao was not only not disgusted with Han Hecheng, but also seemed to have some unclear meaning.

Could it be that Sandao has taken a fancy to Han Hecheng?
No way, for a swinger who humiliated him in public, he would hate him to death, so how could he be tempted by him? Isn't this pushing himself into the fire pit? Sandao shouldn't be that stupid, right?

But Qiduo knew that this was just the thinking of ordinary people, and it was not ruled out that Sandao would have different ideas.

After all, Han Hecheng was born in a wealthy family, coupled with his extraordinary handsome appearance and chic and coquettish posture, he can indeed attract the attention of many young women.

"It's true, what's the matter?" Qiduo thought a thousand times in his mind, and nodded calmly.

"Are you saying that the Han family is the one that runs the Yue Ke Lai restaurant in the county?" Sandao seemed to want to prove something.

The last time Matchmaker He came to ask Mrs. Zhao to be a matchmaker for the Han family, Mr. Tan thought it was embarrassing, so he didn't tell the rest of the family.

So only Mr. Tan and Mrs. Zhao knew about it.

"Well, it's their family. It seems to be the matchmaker hired by Young Master Han. By the way, third sister, how do you know the Han family? Do you know them?" Qiduo asked curiously.

Seeing Qiduo nod her head, Sandao's dark eyes were suddenly clouded with mist, and the hand pulling Qiduo's arm was powerlessly put down.

She didn't answer Qiduo's words, but bowed her head and hurried back to the room.

The moment she pushed the door, Qiduo seemed to see her wiping the corner of her eyes with her hand.
Tan Debao came over, "Qiduo, are you okay?"

Qiduo shook her head, "It's okay, by the way, Fourth Uncle, did Third Sister listen to my conversation with Erniang outside the room just now?"

Tan Debao nodded, "Well, I thought there was nothing I couldn't listen to, so I let her listen. It just so happens that one more person knows the face of Wang Honglei's bastard."

Now Qiduo is almost certain that Sandao really has a crush on Han Hecheng, otherwise she wouldn't have such a reaction.

Alas, evildoer, who is not good for you, why do you have a crush on that scum.

Sigh for Sandao in my heart.
Mrs. Zhao just came out of the kitchen and looked towards Qiduo.

Seven eyes turned slightly, and walked towards Mrs. Zhao.

"Grandma." Qiduo called affectionately.

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Zhao raised her eyelids.

"Grandma, I want to tell you something." Qiduo's voice was soft and sweet.

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Zhao raised her eyes, and the light flickered in her eyes.

"Grandma, do you still remember the time when you went back to Han's house?" Qiduo asked.

As soon as the Han family was mentioned, Zhao's eyes burst into flames, and he threw a cabbage in his hand on the ground in resentment.

How could she forget the Han family? It was because of the Han family's mess that she was almost strangled to death by Mr. Tan, and she would never forget it for the rest of her life.

Hearing Qiduo mention this matter, she thought she was going to trouble her, but she was annoyed immediately, "Damn girl, why are you bringing this up again, do you still want to trouble me?"

"Grandma, you have misunderstood. I want to tell you that the Han family's marriage was brought up by the eldest brother-in-law," Qiduo said warmly.

"What, there's this thing?" Mrs. Zhao was surprised.

She really didn't know how the Han family fell in love with Erxia, she didn't expect that it was Wang Honglei who came up with the idea.

Qi Duoduo nodded, and said, "After my mother refused, it should be the eldest brother-in-law who asked the Han family to come to you."

Zhao frowned, "How do you say that?"

Qiduo said, "Grandma, think about it, Young Master Han is not familiar with grandma, so why did he come to you directly? And the elder brother-in-law and Young Master Han are good friends, and he also knew about the incident when he went back to Lin's house last time." , the eldest brother-in-law must have said a lot of good things about you in front of Young Master Han, so Young Master Han asked the matchmaker to come to you."

Zhao's face suddenly seemed to have opened a dyeing workshop.

She knew very well that Qiduo was talking ironically. No wonder that Matchmaker He said those generous conditions last time. Wang Honglei must have said a lot of ugly things about her in front of Han Hecheng, saying that as long as she used good things, she would be able to impress her and make her nod and agree. This marriage.

Thinking of her reputation being ruined by Wang Honglei so much, the unknown fire in her heart became more and more intense, and her face turned into a liver color.

Mrs. Zhao ruthlessly smashed the cabbage under her feet, took a broken broom leaning against the wall, and rushed towards the east chamber.

Qiduo said no more, looked at the East Wing, and then went home with Tan Debao.

There was a loud quarrel behind them.

There was a cold light in the seven eyes.

Originally, I didn't want to say these words to Mrs. Zhao, but when I thought about it carefully, I panicked. These scumbags like Tan Deyin were deceiving people too much.

If they don't make their family feel better, there is no need for them to let them worry and worry for a while.
Since coming here, Tan Deyin, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao have been plotting against their own family all the time, and now Wang Honglei is added, since you like stabbing people in the back, then I will stab them too.

Since you are doing the first day of junior high school, don't blame us for doing the fifteenth day!

Back home, Qiduo told Mrs. Xu about this in private, which made her aware of it.

Hearing that Wang Honglei was the reason why the Han family raised the issue, Xu was also angry, "Wang Honglei, Erxia has no grievances with him, why would he harm her like this, what a beast, it's in vain for us to send him away on weekdays." Be human."

"Mother, don't be angry, I'll tell grandma about this, it should be very lively in the second uncle's room right now." Qiduo comforted Xu.

"It's all because of your second uncle and second mother's immoral behavior, which makes a good family more dignified, alas!" Xu sighed.

Qiduo shook her head.

Tan Dejin also found out about this when he came back in the afternoon. If Qiduo and Mrs. Xu hadn't been dragging him, he was going to rush to Tan Deyin's house to settle the score.

Mrs. Yang probably had a guilty conscience. After being scolded by Mrs. Zhao, she didn't dare to come to Qiduo's house to make trouble.

In the next few days, Qiduo shuttled between the county town and Luhuapo.

The thatched huts on the side of Luhuapo were built, and the stove was set up.

Mrs. Li's cousin and sister-in-law are very satisfied after being interviewed by Qiduo. Not only are the two of them honest and honest, but the sister-in-law can really cook well.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to go to the county seat, she took them to Fenglin Hall, and asked Ge Fenglin to help check their bodies to confirm that they were in good health.

Only then did Qiduo feel relieved.

Pots and pans, firewood, rice, oil, salt, etc. are all ready, and gray and white cooking smoke floats from Luhuapo, indicating that the wasteland reclamation work is officially underway.

When Qiduo went to the county town, besides delivering goods, she mainly went to those restaurants and inns to inquire about news and see if there were any merchants who wanted to buy lotus root.

These restaurants and inns did not inquire about any news, but a few individual tourists came to Luhuapo on their own initiative, and each bought a thousand catties. They were vendors on the opposite side of the Mianjiang River.

They accidentally saw a boat transporting lotus root on the pier, and after inquiring, they found Luhuapo.

Although they didn't buy much, Qiduo was very happy. It was a good thing that someone came to the door, which showed that more and more people knew about their lotus root.

When a few people bought lotus root and prepared to go back, Qiduo also told them to help promote more, and if they could bring new customers, they would give a penny per catty in commission.

Several vendors are good.

Looking at the barren hills being reclaimed, Qiduo thought about the saplings and went to Tang Hu.

Tang Hu listened to Qiduo's explanation and nodded, "That's right, there are several families in Hulin Town who specialize in planting saplings. If you want to go, Miss Qi, I can accompany you."

This is exactly what Qiduo wanted, "Okay, Uncle Tang, let's go down tomorrow and bring some lotus root over there, and see if we can sell some in Hulin Town."

Tang Hu agrees, and he will be in charge of selling lotus root. He also knows a lot of people in Hulin Town.

With Tang Hu's help, Qi Duo is naturally relieved.

On the second day, Qiduo, father and daughter, and Tang Hu took more than 1000 catties of lotus root to the ferry to Hulin Town.

When they arrived in Hulin Town, Tang Hu took Qiduo and Tan Dejin to several restaurants with ease.

Seeing the rare lotus root in this season and tasting the crunchy and sweet lotus root, the shopkeepers of several restaurants all nodded, praising the quality of the lotus root in their hearts, and bought a hundred catties without hesitation.

After running to the restaurant, Tang Hu went to find several rich households in the town, including the fourth family of Mr. Lin.

These wealthy households like to eat some fresh and rare things. When they see lotus root, they are naturally surprised, and a carload of lotus root is sold out quickly.

Qiduo took out more than three taels of silver from the heavy purse and handed it to Tang Hu.

This is what was agreed before, let Tang Hu help sell the lotus root, and give a commission of two cents per catty, the three taels of silver is what he deserves.

Looking at the money, Tang Hu was naturally embarrassed to accept it, so he inevitably declined again.

After collecting the money, Tang Hu took Qiduo's father and daughter to the seedling garden on the outskirts of town to see the saplings.

Large and small green saplings are growing vigorously, and there are all kinds of saplings that Qiduo wants to buy.

After asking the price, Qiduo ordered a batch of saplings and paid a deposit of five taels of silver. After half a month, the seedlings would be picked up. At that time, the owner of the seedling garden would send someone to help plant them.

After finalizing the event and preparing to leave Hulin Town, Qiduo thought of Yang's [-] acres of land and asked Tang Hu to take him to see it.

She wanted to see if the field was really worthless.

Before approaching the field, Qiduo smelled a foul smell, and saw a garbage dump like a hill in the distance.

Covering his mouth and nose, he stepped forward and took a closer look. It was similar to what Tang Hu had described at the beginning. It was not simply a flat wasteland or a barren mountain, with potholes and hollows. It's an easy task, no wonder the Lin family would rather leave it uncultivated than reclaim it.

Qiduo pouted, and left Hulin Town with Tan Dejin and Tang Hu to go home.

After dinner, Shen Nan unexpectedly appeared at Qiduo's house.
