Chapter 232 Jade Furnace 23 The Three Family Surnames
Yuhui said in her heart that the elder sister also helped introduce housekeeping services, but unfortunately they didn't want to live for a long time, and they couldn't tolerate outsiders entering the yard and hearing things they shouldn't hear, which exposed their true identities, so they declined Unacceptable, he said vaguely: "We have these two men enough to support our family, and we can't live if there are too many."

Yuhui was afraid that others would not give up, so she winked at A Li while talking.

A Li understood immediately, stepped forward and took Yu Hui's arm, coquettishly said: "My wife, didn't you say that you don't want other servants to come near you? Liu'er and I are enough to cook and clean for you. You Wasn't it because Yingying Yanyan, who was disliked by the husband and side husband and their servants in the ancestral house, only took us out to breathe and relax?"

The eldest sister finally understood that this Miss Qin in front of her was really not simple, she turned out to be a romantic woman with a strong family.Although the two men beside him were covered with veils, they were absolutely good-looking, and the sons of officials and eunuchs were nothing more than that.This is not Miss Qin's husband and side husband.In fact, it's not surprising, what man can't fall in love with Miss Qin's beauty?No wonder these two men dissuaded the wife-master not to buy servants, fearing that if a newcomer comes, they will cling to the wife-master and divide their love, right?
So the elder sister changed the subject.Yuhui saw that she was talkative, so she ordered some tea and snacks, and asked her about the history of Shoushanying.

"Sister, just now we passed by the ancestral hall and saw that it was built by several families. Who are the big families in this town?" Yuhui asked humbly.

"It used to be a small village here, and almost everyone in the village was surnamed He. Later, they moved into two big families. It is said that they originally lived in the big city in the east, and they came to the west after they separated. Each of the two big families had a surname Mei, a family named Qin. It is really a coincidence that the Qin family may have been the same family as you hundreds of years ago. The Mei and Qin families brought many craftsmen, some who could read and write, and doctors to provide the people in the village with It was a lot of convenience. After a while, the outsider got married with the villagers and took root, so they jointly built the ancestral hall. The ancestors of the three surnames He, Mei, and Qin are enshrined in it." The eldest sister said cheerfully, "My surname is He, and I'm a side branch of the elders of this village, but I also have the blood of the Mei family and the Qin family on my body. The three families have been in-laws, and they have long been indistinguishable from each other."

Yuhui thought to herself that Xuanguo was founded 200 years ago. At that time, it was estimated that a batch of treasures were looted and planned to be hidden for future use.For generations, the Heavenly Sword Sect has enshrined the direct blood relatives of the Qin surname as the head, and there is also a big family of the Qin surname who moved in later in this guard camp. There should be a connection between the two, right?Could it be that the Mei and Qin surnames were the trusted families of the Xuan Kingdom court who had participated in the burial of the treasure?The location of the treasure has never been disclosed after 200 years. It can be seen that the two masters left here have done a good job of keeping secrets.Maybe the people who knew about it had already passed away, and the Mei and Qin families didn't know why their ancestors came here or what they did.

Yuhui tentatively asked: "Who is the craftsman here? Our family also wants to buy some exquisite appliances."

Sister He is naturally enthusiastic. When others ask one question, she can answer three. Then she said: "Several villages and towns within a few miles of craftsmen can't compare with Mei's. Their family is a mother-daughter inheritance of skilled craftsmen. They not only make ordinary wooden furniture They are exquisite, and they can also make stone and jade wares. If you walk around this town, most of the workshops are owned by the Mei family."

Yuhui pretended to be curious and asked: "Sister He, didn't you just say that the Qin family and the Mei family moved in together? Are the craftsmen of the Qin family inferior to those of the Mei family?"

"The Qin family opened a school and a medical clinic. I heard from the old man in the family that before the two of them moved here, there were no literate people in the mountain guard camp. The announcements and orders from the county were all issued by the village head himself. I read the explanations to the officials, and they always make people laugh and bully. Most of the Mei family are skilled craftsmen, while the Qin family has scholars and doctors, and each shows their strengths to benefit the village." Sister He explained enthusiastically, "There is a school behind the ancestral hall. , the husbands are all daughters of the Qin family, as long as they are girls in this town, regardless of their family background, they can be sent to study for two years for free, so that they can know some words. People in other places are envious. There are few women in our town now There are those who are illiterate, although they may not be able to pass the imperial examination and become an official, but they are usually enough for business, bookkeeping and family letters.”

Yuhui originally thought that if the Qin family was related to Tianjianzong, why should they open a martial arts gym or a bodyguard business? Why are there schools and medical halls?She didn't dare to directly ask if anyone in the town knew martial arts, so as not to make people suspicious, she changed the topic and said: "Where can I go hunting in the surrounding mountains? My husband and I rarely live in the countryside, and we want to find something new and interesting. "

Sister He introduced the nearby mountains and terrain, and finally told her: "There is a coffin mountain in the north of the town. The scenery outside the mountain is quite beautiful. The old people used to go hunting. But there are poisonous miasma monsters in that mountain, so you must go there." No, Yamaguchi set up a boundary marker to warn the world."

Yuhui said obediently: "Don't worry, we don't dare to run around and lose our lives. I just coaxed my two husbands to go around casually."

Sister He expected that Ms. Qin was young and weak, and she had a family member who was like a fairy. The so-called hunting was at most the level of an outing, and she would definitely not venture into the deep mountains.

However, Ali noticed some special information from Sister He's words.He had acted coquettishly just now, and now he just took the opportunity to ask more questions, leaned on Yu Hui, and asked Yu Hui shyly: "My wife, are there really monsters in this world? Don't let people scare you so that you don't want to go to a good place." Bar?"

A Li seemed to be asking Yuhui, but in fact his voice was neither loud nor low, and people around could hear it. They all thought that A Li was being favored, and it was not surprising that the man was short-sighted and short-sighted.

Yu Hui guessed Ali's intentions, had an idea, and pretended to comfort her: "Li'er, last year I said I would give you a sable cloak, but I didn't make it because I couldn't buy good leather. If you can catch sables, I will catch a few for you. Sister He is definitely kind enough to advise us not to take risks, and you should not think about it. Monsters are monsters, maybe they only eat beauties."

Seeing Ah Li's playful appearance, Yingliu couldn't help laughing inwardly, but kept a serious expression on her face.This makes outsiders look as if they are jealous, secretly resenting that other men are favored and they are neglected by their wife.

Yu Hui hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't be angry, Liuer. I'll hunt a few more white foxes and make you shawls. There must be some on the surrounding mountains. It's hard work for us to run so far. What if we encounter monsters?" ?”

Sister He secretly laughed that Miss Qin was born in a wealthy family and did not understand the sufferings of the people. How could sables and white foxes be so easy to hunt?Although I have heard of these two beasts appearing in the nearby forests, only experienced hunters can catch the prey without hurting the skin.Looking at Miss Qin's thin body, I'm afraid she is just showing off with a bow and arrow, but the guards she brought are strong, and they may not know how to hunt.In Miss Qin's words, she was afraid of hard work, but also wanted to make the beauty happy. It's really difficult to have both.

Ali dissatisfied: "Could it be that the wife is afraid of monsters?"

Yu Hui had no choice but to bite the bullet and asked, "Sister He, is this monster just a rumor?"

Sister He is a native of the local area. She has heard various versions of legends since she was a child, and she picked up more vivid and reliable sermons: "There are indeed monsters. It is said that they live in the cracks in the coffin mountain valley. The boa constrictor is even thicker, and it can eat anything with only one mouth on the top of its head. Ten years ago, two hunters with high skills and boldness went to explore that mountain. The monster bared its teeth and pounced on one person, swallowing one person in one gulp, and the other was frightened and fled back. The whole person was stupid. The fool is still alive and crazy. If you ask her if she doesn’t know anything else, just ask her Know that a monster swallowed a large living man."

Yuhui lowered her head and thought, in order to protect the treasure, it is not impossible to set up traps and raise some monsters.But since the treasure can be hidden in it, the monster should be as restrained as the poisonous miasma. Why is there no reminder on the boundary marker?If the monster moved here later and is still alive, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with.

Sister He said some anecdotes and left, and went to work on her own business.

Yuhui, A Li and Yingliu all became more worried because they heard that there were monsters in the valley, and lost interest in playing, so they returned to their temporary residences.
