Sweet and warm little peasant woman

Chapter 170

When the queue came to the front, Tong Xiaowu discovered that the gatekeeper charged the fees based on the head, and there was a piece of white paper pasted on the wooden board next to it, which stated: This is a donation for the disaster relief of the two southern counties.

The name is quite good, but I don't know if the money is really used for disaster relief?If the county guard really wanted to provide disaster relief, he wouldn't have driven the refugees out of the city.

"What's the reason for last year?" Someone in front whispered.

"Last year was bridge building and road construction, and spring was drought..." the female relative beside her replied in a low voice.

"Pfft, I don't know what the title will become next year?"

"It becomes impossible to escape from anything. It's okay for us to be like this. Look at that..."

The two female family members in front were whispering, one of them turned back and pointed to the back, Tong Xiaowu looked in the direction they pointed, and several clean-dressed women in coarse clothes gathered together, discussing something.

"Hey! This business is not easy to do. They are such small shopkeepers. It is really fatal to be invited here again and again."

"No, stop talking, it's here..."

Tong Xiaowu lined up behind them, watching people coming and going, she felt that there were hundreds of people at this party, and each person was ten taels of silver, probably a few thousand taels.

When she arrived, the gatekeeper looked up at the two servant girls beside her, and accepted the invitation, "Three of them, 30 taels!"

"I'm alone!" Tong Xiaowu paid out ten taels of silver, and Mrs. Tang on the side saw this scene, and couldn't help but said, "There are many people inside, why don't you bring another one?"

She shook her head, then turned around and told Qingxiu and Xiaohe to wait outside.

Mrs. Tang took out 300 taels of silver, and after writing down the account, she took Tong Xiaowu into the yard, and there were maids to welcome people from different levels inside. It stands to reason that people like Tong Xiaowu , I’m new here, so I can only walk around the courtyard, and when it’s time to eat, just sit down in the courtyard on the second floor.

But she followed Mrs. Tang and was directly invited to the Fugui Garden inside.

This garden is very large, and the decoration is even more exquisite than the outside. Lanterns and bells are hung under each eaves, and colorful silk is floating. In the flowing spring water, koi swim, and chrysanthemums of various colors are arranged in the small garden according to their colors. There is also an exquisite bonsai, and with the blooming chrysanthemums, there is a special view.

A lot of guests have come to this Fuguiyuan, a total of five to sixty people, Mrs. Tang walked into the house with Tong Xiaowu.

A beaded curtain was hung in the main hall, and a maid lifted the curtain. A wealthy woman in her 40s was sitting on the main seat, talking to the people sitting on both sides. Seeing Mrs. Tang talking, she stopped talking and looked over.

"Participate in Madam Tang, you are being polite!"

"Participating in the magistrate's wife, the little girl Tong is polite"

Tong Xiaowu imitated Mrs. Tang's appearance and saluted.

"I've never seen this before? Where did it come from?" The sheriff's wife was slightly chubby, she was full of jewels, and she looked at Tong Xiaowu with faint inquiry.

"My little girl from Rongshui County, just came to the county, opened a cloth shop on the north side of the main street, and it hasn't opened yet..." Tong Xiaowu answered neither humble nor overbearing.

"Well, I got it, let's go down, I'll talk to Mrs. Tang." Hearing that there was only one cloth shop behind her, the magistrate's wife was not so polite.

Mrs. Tang looked at her beside her, and wanted her to follow her, but now that Mrs. Tang had spoken, she could only compromise.

Tong Xiaowu glanced at the people in the room, and there were eight women sitting on the left and right, each of them was dressed in different ages and had different temperaments, and behind a woman in her 50s sitting fourth from the right, stood Feng Dafu's daughter-in-law, Lin Qinwen, was looking at her with indifferent eyes.

Mrs. Tang saluted and sat in the third seat from the left. Looking at the arrangement of their seats, Tong Xiaowu could guess who was there.

The person sitting in the main seat is naturally the magistrate's wife, and counting down are the magistrates' wives from various counties. Linyue County has seven counties in total, Rongshui, Pingyi, Yuedong, Yuexi, Kexian, Jianpo County, and Cao County .

The remaining three positions, one of which is the position of the richest man in Nanzhou City, the mistress of the Lin family. Since Lin Qinwen has a residence in Linyue County, and this is her husband's family, she will naturally follow.

In another seat sat a woman from a foreign land. She was wearing a Western Xinjiang costume, with a string of yellow agate beads hanging on her forehead, a white ox bone rosary on her wrist, and a short machete on her waist. Two Western Xinjiang stood behind her. Xinjiang strong man.

And these two strong men were the ones who maintained order at the Uluwa Merchants Fair.

Being able to sit in this position must have a great relationship with the sheriff's wife, so they must have made friends with the sheriff.

Tong Xiaowu finally understood who the person who helped the merchants in Xijiang in Linyue County was the county guard Pang Da. No wonder so many cloth merchants believed in Wuluwa, and they were vying for his orders.

With the sheriff behind him, who wouldn't believe it?
The game seems to be getting more and more interesting.

Tong Xiaowu only took one look, then understood the situation, and backed out.

When she came to the garden, she breathed a sigh of relief. It was too depressing inside, only those officials and wives could bear it. She looked at the chrysanthemums and walked around. As soon as she arrived at the backyard of Fugui Garden, she heard someone shouting .

"Don't go, can't I be wrong? I'm sorry, I have taken the initiative to talk to you like this, why do you ignore me, we have met each other a long time ago, you really don't remember?"

Tong Xiaowu's gossip mentality gradually rose, and she hid behind the rockery and looked secretly, and the owner of the familiar voice turned out to be Feng Ruolian, with her arms stretched out, as if to stop someone.

As if discovering the New World, Tong Xiaowu covered her mouth and laughed, this girl is really powerful, she even dared to rob people here.

"Get away, you're annoying!" the man said coldly, and then yelled, because Feng Ruolian blocked him, and she couldn't see who it was.

"Tong Xiaowu, what are you still doing? Come and save me!" Suddenly the man shouted.

Before Tong Xiaowu could react, the man turned around and ran away.

Fuck, what do you mean?Before she saw who it was, she was made a stepping stone?

Sure enough, seeing someone running away, Feng Ruolian rushed towards Tong Xiaowu as soon as she turned around, raised her hand and hit her, "You are shameless, actually peeking..."

Tong Xiaowu dodged and swore, "Are you sick? What am I peeking at? Are you being reasonable?" Then she took a few steps back.

Feng Ruolian missed her, raised her hand and took a few steps forward.

"Damn it, you still want to do it..."

This time, Tong Xiaowu didn't hide, and grabbed the wrist she swung over, "What do you want to do? Even if I peeked, I have to have something to see. If you can't meet a man secretly, blame him. Is it on me? You still want to fight with me, you are going too far..."
