Father's Farmer's Wife: Farming Makes a Fortune

Chapter 288 Qu Hang Villain ([-])

The man named Dehuai poked his head out to look towards Nanmenyue, and seeing a girl following the two teenagers, he immediately let go of his guard: "Come in, I'll call Qiuyue up and tidy up." .” He opened the door wide on both sides, then turned around and entered the house.

Nanmenyue drove the carriage into the yard, took out the reward silver that she had originally agreed with the shopkeeper, and handed it to him.

The shopkeeper seemed embarrassed, smiled at Nanmenyue, and finally took it: "Thank you girl for the reward, you all have a good rest tonight, I will still set up the stall at the original location, if there is anything I will If you can help, even if you come to me."

Nanmenyue just nodded meaningfully, turned around and looked around the courtyard. The architectural style is a bit like a courtyard in the capital. Although the houses are not new, there are quite a few of them. If you live here these days, it shouldn’t be too bad .

Candles were lit at the other end of the main house, only to hear the couple whispering something, a woman came out of the house after a while, that was De Huai's wife, Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang is a little fat, and the sunken corners of her eyes are somewhat similar to that of the shopkeeper. After listening to what the shopkeeper said to De Huai just now, she knew that Mrs. Zhang and the shopkeeper were siblings.

Mrs. Zhang first greeted the shopkeeper, and then came to Nanmenyue and the others: "I usually tidy up the house, and it is very clean. The three of you can live in two rooms. It is 18 two rooms, and it is booked. Three meals a day, if you live in two rooms, you can charge thirty."

Nanmenyue didn't sound expensive, it was much more cost-effective than staying in an inn. He saw Qingyu and Jing Yibo both nodded, so he decided to stay. Everyone was tired from traveling all day, and it was late at night. Now, if you are picky again, it will be dawn if you keep going on like this: "Sister, please show us the house, if it is okay, we will stay here."

Mrs. Zhang nodded, and went to pick up a lantern first, and then led Nanmenyue to see the room. The two of them walked side by side. Mrs. Zhang looked back at Nanmenyue wearing a veil from time to time, very curious.

The two guest rooms are next to each other next to the main house. Although the rooms are small, they are very clean and there is no peculiar smell.

Mrs. Zhang lit the silver, and it was all right, so she stepped forward to help light the candlestick, and explained a few words: "The well under the tree is for washing. I will call you for three meals a day, and I will take care of you when you are not around." Keep it, come to me again if you have something to do, and you can call me Big Sister Zhang in the future." After she finished speaking, she saw Nanmenyue nodded and walked away.

She was not in a hurry to go back into the house, seeing that the shopkeeper was about to leave, she quickly stopped him: "Brother, you are here, let's sit down." She casually moved a stool and handed it to the shopkeeper.

"How about Xiuyun, the Song family still doesn't plan to marry her?"

The shopkeeper slumped on the stool, listening to his sister's words, he let out a long sigh: "What can we do about this matter, it's not like you don't know the power of the Song family in Quhang. , I heard that living in their house has something to do with the young master being in the capital. Tell me how my slender arm can twist that thigh."

Mrs. Zhang shook her head helplessly when she heard this: "It seems that this child, Xiuyun, is going to die for the rest of her life."

Nanmenyue was sitting in the room packing her luggage, and she heard the two people's straightforward words through her earworms. She was a little curious, but she didn't think too much about it. After all, she was an outsider, so naturally The less trouble, the better.

Mrs. Zhang sat idle with the shopkeeper for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, the shopkeeper left first. He had to get up early tomorrow morning to set up a stall, so Mrs. Zhang didn't stay with him, sent him out of the door, and locked the door. Turning around and coming in, she saw that Nanmenyue was holding the clothes to wash up, so she stopped her:
"Girl, big sister, let me say something. I don't know why you are covering your veil, but you have to be careful in Quhang these few days." Looking at the girl's eyes, she felt that she was a beauty. Dressed like this, she guessed that she was from a poor family, and she was accompanied by two younger brothers. This kind of person was the most likely to be attacked by the Song official.

I don't know how many girls in Quhang County have been ruined by this villain. Some dare not speak out, and some just keep silent. The pretty girls in Quhang basically stay at home now. .

Nanmenyue was a little surprised, she thought she was asking about that 'Xiuyun', but finally shut up, she just smiled gratefully at Mrs Zhang, turned around and went to the well to fetch water to wash.

After taking a cold shower and putting on clean clothes, I felt refreshed. I lay on the bed and fell asleep after a while.

Before dawn on the second day, she was woken up by the sound of cock crowing. Perhaps it was because she was sleeping in the bed. Nanmenyue tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep anymore, so she just got up. The room she was sleeping in happened to be the right one. Looking at the kitchen, opened the door and came out, and saw Mrs. Zhang who was busy making breakfast.

She felt that she couldn't sleep anyway, so she washed her face and went to help her.

After washing the rice and putting it in the pot, Mrs. Zhang was lighting a fire when she vaguely felt that someone was approaching. When she looked up and saw Nanmenyue, she was startled: "Girl, why did you get up so early, and breakfast hasn't been ready yet."

"Don't worry, take your time, I can't sleep, I want to help you." As she spoke, she picked up the hatchet on the ground and wanted to help Mrs. Zhang chop wood.

Mrs. Zhang looked at her and guessed that she was a daughter of a farmer's family, but seeing her delicate hands, she quickly stopped: "You can't do this rough work, you'd better go back to the house and rest. "This girl is dressed plainly, but her hands don't seem to be used for rough work. They are white and thin, and they are many times more delicate than her face.

Nanmenyue looked at her staring at her hand, and felt that Mrs. Zhang must have misunderstood something. Indeed, since she was busy with the rouge shop, she seldom did housework, and she used the ointment given by Qi Zhengyu , Those calluses and wounds from working before have already been repaired, and these hands really don't look like doing rough work.

"I can't sleep, why don't you tell me about that Xiuyun, maybe I can give you a trick." Well, she is indeed very curious, mainly because she can't go back to sleep now, and it's too late to go out. Morning, idle is idle, gossip to satisfy her curiosity is also good.

Mrs. Zhang put the firewood in her hand into the stove, and paused for a while. It was no surprise that Nanmen Yuehui suddenly mentioned Xiuyun. She told her brother about this matter last night. She didn't shy away from it. That matter has been spread in the county for a long time, and everyone is discussing it behind their backs, and there is nothing to hide.

She doesn't look like Nanmenyue is a good person, and she seems to be from the capital, maybe she can really help.
