Rebirth of the little landlady

Chapter 357

"I originally wanted to stay away from her, but we can't afford to provoke her, can't we hide? Who knew that she would also go back to her hometown together, saying that she wanted to find out what happened back then, but then again, she was not here when she got lost. Lost, I really don't know what she's going to come back to ask?! We have nothing to do now!" Luo Shi's eyes turned darkly on Qi Sicheng, "No, before arriving at the old house, Song Chengye put the I sent it, let me send you a message first, lest you have nothing to say when she finds you!"

At this moment, Qi Sicheng couldn't even jump up, only the cold sweat dripping down his temples, "Say...what do you say? When...didn't you also send someone to look for it back then? "

"Hey," Luo Shi waved his hand, "How dare I ask if this is the case? That girl made me into an aunt before she came home. One is amazing, you didn’t see it... Forget it, you will see it soon, and then you will understand everything. In short, I am an aunt, even if there are some problems, it’s okay, I don’t believe it , she is a girl who has never left the house, no matter how she gets angry, she can still control the people in father's house!"

Qi Sicheng didn't answer this time, his eyes stared blankly at one place, wondering what he was thinking.

Luo Shi slid into the quilt again and yawned big, but Qi Sicheng was like a clay stake, neither speaking nor showing any intention of leaving.

I think back then, the Qi family was a well-known big family near the county seat, and their family background was not generally well-to-do. It's a pity that several generations of children in the family were from village households, and a businessman would be considered a great big shot. The idea and background are in the real big family In the eyes, there is simply not enough to see.

The first emperor was unruly, and today he encourages business for the prosperity of the dynasty, so the merchants of the dynasty can still participate in the imperial examination. That's it, the Qi family has never been an official for several generations. The Luos and his wife couldn't hit it off so easily.

Luo Shi didn't believe it. With his repeated threats and threats, wouldn't the Qi family brothers who had no foundation be afraid? !

Sure enough, after about a quarter of an hour, Qi Sicheng finally regained his composure, and all the hot sweat all over his body disappeared. After regaining his clarity of mind, he asked Luo Shi again, "Song Chengye is so kind. You came here just to remind us?" After so many years of cooperation, the Qi brothers also know Song Chengye quite well.

"What do you think? Would he be so kind?" Luo Che asked back with his eyes closed.

At this point, Qi Sicheng was not in a hurry, "He must still want to get some benefits from us. Originally, he used this kindness as a bait, or did he have something else to say? But, it must not be something good! "

"Hey——" Luo Shi sneered, "You're so cute, Song Chengye said, he's down now, but because he has such a daughter, no one really dares to offend him, let alone in this small place, even in the capital It's the same here. After all, outsiders don't know about the bad things at home. If you think your niece is reliable, he has nothing to say. It can be done as well as before, at least it won't take much trouble to make a little trouble!" That is to say, if the Qi brothers are not sure about relying on the big tree of Yuanbao, it is better to let the Song family play around obediently .

"Then what do you think?" Qi Sicheng asked Luo Che seriously.

Luo's answer was straightforward, "I have surrendered, and Song Chengye is the same, otherwise, we are still living a good life in the capital now!"

Qi Sicheng didn't intend to follow Luo Shi's suggestion completely, but he didn't feel that Luo Shi's words were worthwhile. This time he stood up steadily and said to Luo Shi, "This is a big matter. I have to go back and discuss it with my brother. You will discuss it tomorrow. Wait here!" The eldest brother also had a part in that incident back then, so why should he swallow this bitter fruit alone? !
Luo Shi shook his head, "No, I have to go back and see my parents!"

"It's okay, we haven't visited uncle and aunt for a long time." The Qi family and the Song family are still separated by a county town, but they are real fellow villagers with the Luo family. Besides, it is more convenient to talk in the Luo family.

Qi Sicheng turned to go out, Luo Shi got up and carefully latched the door, let out a long breath, this night, she worked so hard, it was really not easy, but the effect was still very good, even though Qi Sicheng didn't agree, But she agreed to meet tomorrow, and she believed that everything would go according to her plan.

Qi Sicheng went out and called the two servants who were waiting in the main hall of the inn, "Go, go back!"

"Ah? Master, are we going on a night trip?" The two of them have followed Qi Sicheng for a long time, and they know that Qi Sicheng has a house in this town. In the past, when they encountered business here, they always stayed in their house. There is no reason to rush back to Changling County.

"Still going to hitch the carriage?!" Qi Sicheng growled.

The carriage was ready-made, and the few people rushed back to Qi's house very quickly.Now there are only these two brothers in the Qi family. Before the death of the old man, although the family separated, the two did not live separately. Instead, after expanding the house, a high wall was separated in the middle, and a door was opened on the wall, both like neighbors. It is also like a family, because of the needs of doing business on weekdays, they come and go very frequently.

Qi Sicheng didn't call the door of his own house, but directly called the corner door of the elder brother's house. Once he entered the door, he sent his servants to go back first.

No one knew what the two brothers talked together in the middle of the night, but someone saw that they went out together at dawn the next day, and went to the town again.

When the brothers from the Qi family arrived at Luo's house, the sun was already high. Qi Siyuan did not get more information from Luo Shi than Qi Sicheng.

Qi Siyuan handed over a 1000 tael silver note, "Anyway, please tell Mrs. Song that our two families have been real relatives over the years, far from being comparable to ordinary relatives," looking at Luo Shi with sharp eyes. , "Nowadays is different from the past, and business is very difficult to do. This little money can be regarded as a meeting gift for the two of us as uncles to our nieces. No matter how you say it, blood is thicker than water. Besides, the younger sister's marriage back then was a matter of parental responsibility." If you agree, we brothers are just following orders."

Luo Shi sneered in his heart, "Don't be afraid of ghosts calling your door if you don't do anything wrong. Since you are not afraid of anything, what are you rushing to do today? Want to pick yourself off? It's not that easy!" Said, "Brother is so polite, my master knows your difficulties, and I will definitely bring your thoughts and words to you!" He enthusiastically left the Qi family brothers for dinner.

How could the brothers of the Qi family have the heart to eat now, so they hurriedly left.

In the carriage, Qi Siyuan frowned deeply, and Qi Sicheng taught in a low voice, "Luo Shi, this woman is very difficult to deal with, you are also at your age, and there are many concubines in the family, it is better to have less contact with her in the future , once people get caught on some things, it will be a big trouble!" Qi Siyuan knew the beginning and end of Qi Sicheng and Luo Shi, and it's not like he didn't remind him in the past.

Qi Sicheng couldn't get used to Qi Siyuan's sanctimonious appearance, and said with a straight neck, "Brother, what do you mean by that? Could it be wrong for me to take the risk of asking for news for my family's sake? Besides, Song Chengye is now It’s nothing, so what are we afraid of? If the eldest brother thinks this news is worthless, why did you come today? Just ignore it!” Isn’t it just because he is three years older than him?He pretended well on weekdays, but when it came to the critical moment, he didn't see how much he, the big brother, gave way to himself!

Qi Siyuan was not at all ashamed by Qi Sicheng's point of breaking the line, but continued to scold, "What do you know? I am just thinking about making money with harmony. One more thing is worse than one less thing. I don't just count on them! Instead of trusting Song Chengye and For an unrelated in-law like Luo Shi, it's better to trust that niece who has never met, if I really want to rely on them, how can I get only such a little money today?!"

Qi Sicheng thought about it, so he stopped dwelling on Luo Shi's question, "Then what does the elder brother mean... we should go and see that niece? Is something going to happen?"

Qi Siyuan snorted softly, "What could happen? We are the serious elders of that girl, and we have never done anything to owe her!" Trying to hide his guilt, "But even if she is some kind of county lord, this There is no reason in the world for elders to visit younger generations. I am just afraid that Song Chengye and Luo Shi will do something shameful without telling us. When the time comes, the carrots will be pulled up and mud will be brought up. I can't explain it clearly. Instead, Song Chengye and Luo Shi were used as gunmen for no reason!"

Qi Sicheng began to sweat again, "I understand, next time I will stay away from Luo Shi." This time his attitude was very sincere.

"Hey——" Qi Siyuan sighed, "When we heard that the child was lost, we didn't have the energy to help find it. After the younger sister and her disappeared, we didn't listen to my father's words and went to the Song family to seal the younger sister's dowry. , if you really want to talk about these things, you are owed!"

"No way?!" Qi Sicheng's eyes widened, "Can we still blame us for these things?"

Qi Siyuan gritted his teeth, "I can't complain. If she wants to ask, we can just blame Song Chengye. People don't fight with officials. This has been the truth since ancient times. If we really want to say it, we are the ones who are being bullied. When we get home, we will tell you Good brothers and sisters, if that girl asks, just say so, it's best to cry!"

"Then what if she wants money?" Qi Sicheng asked melancholy.

"No way?" Qi Siyuan was very uncertain, "She's going to have an affair with the Duke of the country, and she can still think about our family background? If that's the case, we can give as much as we want, and when the time comes Negotiate again!"

The two of them closed their mouths after they had finished talking. They didn't sleep all night. They were quite exhausted. They both leaned against the wall of the carriage, but they couldn't sleep. It was like a big hole was opened in the back of their clothes, and they felt the cold wind. Yes, the indescribable frizz in my heart.

At this time, Yuan Bao, whom they had been thinking about, was sitting in the carriage, looking at the county seat in front of her, "Linze County" she read out these three words softly, feeling neither happy nor sad.

To be honest, Yuan Bao doesn't have much feeling for this place that is closely related to her blood, even the pair of cheap parents don't have much affection, it's not just because she came here through transmigration, she thinks she is the original body, at this age, She didn't have much relationship with her parents who had been away for a long time since she was a child, which is why Yuan Bao didn't want to find her family back at the beginning-everything about the Song family was like a previous life to her, just a vague shadow in her memory, no, it should be said, It is much lighter than the previous life. After all, the memory of the previous life still has a great influence on her current life!

Unexpectedly, Song Chengye and Luo Shi still appeared in front of Yuan Bao so recklessly, and behaved so lowly, no wonder Yuan Bao was there.

Linze County's population is only half that of Qing'an County, and its area is not large, but its prosperity is no less than that of Qing'an County.This surprised Yuan Bao, and when he thought about the history of Linze County and even the entire Cangshan Mansion, this surprise turned into a kind of faint sadness.

There are many mountains in Cangshan Prefecture, and the area of ​​cultivated land is small. In order to feed their stomachs, there are many hunters in the countryside. They cultivate in the farming season and hunt in their spare time. The Anping Mansion where it is located is not as good.

In the early days of the first emperor, many people went to join the army after years of fighting. Some of them were forced, and some of them voluntarily went to find a way to survive. Looking around, all women and children are elderly, and young and middle-aged men are rarely seen.

Gradually, some lucky ones began to send money home. This situation calmed down the flustered mood of the common people. More and more people felt, "It's better to go out and get a job instead of waiting to starve to death at home." Anyway, hunting in the mountains is also risky!"

In the middle period of the first emperor, although the flames of war did not subside, more and more soldiers survived in this dynasty. It is said that when Linze County had the largest number, there were more than 100 high-grade military officers in the same period, and they brought back glory. The silver and silver, not only let the family live comfortably, but also make Linze County more and more prosperous and rich.

Even in the later period of the first emperor, when there was no war in the whole dynasty, everyone still felt that there was something lacking, because military achievements in peacetime were not so easy to obtain, and fewer people joined the army, and some high-ranking officials and nobles were placed elsewhere After losing his family, Linze County returned to peace, but still maintained some prosperity.

At the same time, in order to live a good life, there are still some people who have taken a fancy to the good treatment in the army and joined the army with fear of the future. Moreover, the death rate of sergeants in peacetime is also low. of.
