Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 22 Bad Feng Shui
People from Shanghe Village came out one after another, looking lively.

"Ye Xiucai, are you taking a concubine? Which family's girl is this?" someone asked.

"This is Miss Piaoxu from Yihong Courtyard, she is ranked tenth among the flower girls in Yihong Courtyard." Ye Fengxian said triumphantly.

"The tenth-ranked girl in Yihong Court? It must be very expensive, right?" Someone asked again.

"Of course, it cost me a whole 500 taels of silver!" Ye Fengxian was even more proud.

"congratulations."

……

Amidst the congratulations of the crowd, Ye Fengxian led the sending team to the front of Ye's house.

People in the Dalong Dynasty got married at dusk. At this time, the whole family was at home except for the couple in the second room and the two grandchildren in the big house who didn't have Xiumu. Everyone heard the noise and walked out of the kitchen.

Since the Ye family didn't have a side door, the send-off team could only carry the concubine in through the main door.

After the sedan chair came to a complete stop, Ye Feng opened the curtain first, carefully helped the girl Piaoxu to come out, and said tenderly: "Piaoxu, from now on, this will be your home, and when I win Juren, you will still enjoy A greater blessing."

Seeing this scene, the chubby daughter-in-law was about to break her heart. She rushed up immediately, lifted the hijab of Miss Piaoxu, and was about to beat her!
Ye Fengxian hurried forward and stopped the eldest daughter-in-law.

"Ye Fengxian, you have no conscience! I've been with you for so many years, yet you dare to give me a concubine? I'm going to fight with you!" cried the eldest daughter-in-law.

"What are you fighting for? Even if you want to kill me, I will accept her today!" Ye Fengxian said firmly.

"Okay, then I'll kill you!"

……

The scene suddenly became chaotic, Ye Fengxian and the eldest daughter-in-law fought together, the old man focused on his son, and then beat the eldest daughter-in-law until she was dying.

In the end, the concubine accepted it.

Ye Qiongdan calmly pulled Ye Qinghan out of the courtyard, away from the crowd watching.

The sun sets over the long river, and the river is full of rustling, like a red phoenix flower.

The two walked along the river, Ye Qinghan picked a lot of wild flowers and handed them to Ye Qiongdan.

Ye Qiongdan sighed, the original owner likes picking flowers the most, he, the elder brother, remembers it clearly, but the man has passed away, so I don't know where the soul is.

The night wind blew gently, and she was holding a large bouquet of wild flowers. Under the dim light, she was more delicate than flowers, which made Ye Qinghan's heart beat a little faster.

"Brother, do you still want to stay in the Ye family?" Ye Qiongdan asked.

"Where are you and Qingyu, I will be there." Ye Qinghan said in a deep voice, the third householder of the Ye family was indeed kind to him, so he had the responsibility and obligation to take care of his two younger siblings, but for the rest of the Ye family, He can't say that he has too much sense of responsibility.

"Then let's separate the family?" Ye Qiongdan said hastily, "According to the laws of the Great Dragon Dynasty, those who are not high-ranking officials are not allowed to take concubines; those who are not over forty and have no children are not allowed to take concubines; those who have famous wives are not allowed to take concubines." Ye Fengxian is not in these three conditions, if we sue him, we will definitely let him sit in prison!"

"It's so good. If you use this as a threat, the old couple will definitely be willing to separate."

Ye Qiongdan talked about some of her small plans for the separation of the family, and she spoke happily, her eyes sparkling with the last rays of the setting sun.

She was obviously a dark and thin little girl, but Ye Qinghan felt that she was like a piece of rough jade, which made him want to constantly cut open the ugly shell to explore the beautiful inner essence.

It was just that when he thought of his face that had been destroyed beyond recognition, he lowered his head in low self-esteem.

Such a beautiful woman deserves the best!
After the setting sun completely sank in the mountains in the distance, the faint starlight was lit up. Ye Qiongdan, a man of high art and boldness, said, "Brother, I want to eat rabbits. Let's go up the mountain and hunt a rabbit before going back? It's better for my second brother." Fry a plate of braised rabbit meat!"

"The mountain is dangerous, you wait for me at home."

Ye Qinghan picked some raspberries for her when she was talking about her future plans, wrapped them in taro leaves, and handed them to her.

"I'll go with you, I don't want to go back now, the house is probably still in chaos," Ye Qiongdan took the bag of raspberries and said while eating, "The sixth day is the public notice day, I waited in the yamen for a day, I didn’t even wait for Young Master Tao. Didn’t he put on a posture that he wanted to have nothing to do with me? Why didn’t you go to the yamen with me on the sixth day to get a notarization? It’s really inexplicable!”

Ye Qinghan didn't answer. In fact, he knew that Young Master Tao would hide under the shade of the trees on the pier every day at noon these days, secretly staring at his sister with complicated emotions in his eyes.

Because Young Master Tao didn't do anything else, he just let him go, but every time he saw Ye Qiongdan looking at Ye Qiongdan with such focused eyes, he wanted to gouge his eyeballs out.

After the two went up the mountain, they searched for a long time before bumping into a fat rabbit.

After catching the rabbit, the two were planning to go down the mountain, but unexpectedly, it rained heavily from the sky.

The rain in early summer is always like this, and it comes when you say it.

"There is a cave nearby, let's go there to shelter from the rain first." Ye Qinghan picked up Ye Qiongdan on his back and hurried towards the cave.

Holding the rabbit ears, Ye Qiongdan lay on his broad and strong back, feeling his faint body temperature, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.Ye Qinghan regards the original owner as his younger sister, so it is understandable to carry her back, but she is not the original owner after all, so it feels really awkward to be carried by him like this.

As a single mother in her previous life, this was the first time she had such intimate contact with a man, and her cheeks felt hot.

Fortunately, the cave was not far from here, and the two arrived at the cave before their clothes got soaked.

After entering the cave, Ye Qiongdan quickly jumped down.

As a quiet and timid girl, the original owner seldom went up the mountain, so she didn't know that there was a cave here. In addition, this cave was very hidden, and the entrance of the cave was covered with vines. If you didn't pay attention, it would be difficult to find its existence. .

Ye Qinghan took out the torch that he carried with him and blew it on fire.

There was no dry firewood in the cave, and the trees outside were all wet. They couldn't light a fire to keep warm, so they could only dry in the cave and wait for the rain to stop.

Bored, Ye Qiongdan wandered around in the cave, so Ye Qinghan moved the fire pocket over to illuminate her.

"Hey, big brother! There is nitrate here!" Ye Qiongdan pointed to a grain in a stone concave, and shouted in surprise, "This is Gongshan, right?"

"Well, it's Gongshan in the village," Ye Qinghan nodded, "Do you want to collect nitrate? Make firecrackers?"

"No! It's ice making!" Ye Qiongdan smiled slightly, "It's a great plan to make a fortune! Every summer, the price of ice in Dalongchao is extremely high, and the ice drinks outside are also very expensive. Why don't we make ice and sell it? Woolen cloth?"

"Ice making?"

"That's right," Ye Qiongdan said excitedly, "As long as the nitrate is extracted through a simple boiling process, ice can be made quickly!"

When saltpeter dissolves in water, it absorbs a lot of heat, cooling the water down to freezing.

In the world that Ye Qiongdan came to, it was not until the end of the Tang Dynasty that people accidentally discovered the method of making ice with saltpeter, and the Dalong Dynasty only used saltpeter to make firecrackers at this time.

"Great, brother, are there any saltpeter caves around here?" Ye Qiongdan asked excitedly.

"There are quite a few more." There are many saltpeter mines in Qingjiang County, and firecrackers are one of the specialties of Qingjiang County.

However, ordinary people don't light firecrackers unless they celebrate New Year's festivals or celebrate red and white events, and the sales of firecrackers are limited.

Just then, the rain outside the cave stopped.

Ye Qiongdan reluctantly touched the saltpeter particles in the stone recess, and said to Ye Qinghan: "Brother, let's get the saltpeter tomorrow!"

"Okay." Ye Qinghan didn't ask her why she knew that saltpeter can make ice. After she survived a catastrophe, she seemed to have a lot of secrets, but he didn't want to ask her, so that she couldn't answer.

After leaving the cave, Ye Qiongdan, who was too excited, accidentally stepped on a piece of wet mud and slipped.

And behind her, there is a huge stone.

At the moment when the back of her head was about to hit a stone, Ye Qinghan hugged her quickly and pulled her into his arms.

Ye Qiongdan bumped into his warm chest. At this moment, she heard his violent heartbeat and her own accelerated heartbeat. She pushed him away unnaturally, and said in a panic: "I... we are going to Go back soon, it's getting late."

"I'll carry you, the road is too slippery." Ye Qinghan hid his emotions well and acted calmly.

"No, I..."

Before Ye Qiongdan finished speaking, Ye Qinghan carried it on his back.

Then, she stopped talking, and neither did Ye Qinghan.

He carried her on the rugged mountain road, walking steadily every step. Ye Qiongdan held the rabbit's ears with one hand, and quietly pinched the corner of his clothes with the other hand, and lowered his head.

After returning to Ye's house, the two found that the whole house was quiet, to an uncomfortable level.

The eldest daughter-in-law was tied up, thrown into the kitchen, covered her mouth, and could only cry silently.

Ye Qiongdan went to the kitchen to get a pair of scissors, ignored her pleading eyes, and handed the scissors to Ye Qinghan, Ye Qinghan immediately carried the rabbit to the well, while she went to the small stove outside the house to light a fire and cook.

This night, the eldest daughter-in-law could not sleep well.

This night, Ye Fengxian lived happily.

That night, Ye Qinghan and Ye Qingyu were not affected at all, and slept deeply, while Ye Qiongdan practiced peacefully for another night.

Early the next morning, after Ye Qiongdan and Ye Qinghan prepared their meals, they sat in the courtyard and chatted instead of rushing to the town.

The old lady's back injury was almost healed, she walked out of the room with a cane, holding a cane in her hand, and slapped the ground: "Damn girl, if you don't work out of the stall, you don't know how to feed pigs." Feed the chicken! For half a month, you don’t work every day, what do you want to do? Do you want to rebel? Or do you want to boil my old bone to death so that you can be in charge of the house?”

"Grandpa said, let me rest for half a month." Ye Qiongdan said expressionlessly.

"I think your injury has healed a long time ago. If you ask your aunt to work for you every day, you won't be afraid of ruining your life!" The old lady snorted coldly.

"Grandma, don't worry, from now on, I don't need her to work for me anymore," Ye Qiongdan said pointingly, just at this time, Ye Fengxian and Miss Piaoxu both came out, and she immediately said loudly, "Chun Xiao A moment is worth a thousand gold, the 500 taels of silver from Taojiakeng, is it well spent?"

Ye Fengxian's body froze for a moment, he didn't expect Ye Qiongdan to know about it.

"Uncle, let's split up!" Ye Qiongdan smiled slightly.
