Concubine's plan

"Don't think too much, Captain Lu is promoted and went to Qingshui County to be a town captain." Seeing that his daughter was suddenly lost, Bai Shi suddenly felt distressed and hurriedly explained the matter.

Sure enough, upon hearing the news, Xun Yingju was immediately revived with blood, and the smile on her face was a little bigger, and she said with a smile: "When will Brother Lu leave?" I'll send you a banquet. "Originally, she wanted to call Lu Shaoyuan, but there were elders, so she didn't bother to speak, so she had to shout 'Brother Lu'.

"Your house will leave after the banquet." Lu Shaoyuan still looked cold, as if he was talking about other people's affairs.

In this regard, Xun Yingju was only happy in her heart, and Hongshan Village to Qingshui County was only two hours away, if you wanted Lu Shaoyuan, you could just drive an ox cart to visit. She felt a sense of loss in Lu Shaoyuan, and the wind and clouds of the words were light, and when she looked closely, there was more expectation in her eyes.

Hearing that Lu Shaoyuan was in such a hurry, Xun Yingju smiled and asked, "Brother Lu, are there many things in the Yamen?" If you don't have much, stay at home for a few days, I'll make you a few good meals, and get together with your family. "I wanted to reunite with my family for a few days, but I thought that the two sides were not family members, so I temporarily changed my words.

Hearing this, Lu Shaoyuan was first surprised, and then a smile appeared on his face. "There is a girl Lao." "

The man's smile is really good-looking, usually with a straight face, cool, good-looking man, what kind of expression is very handsome. If you grow up, you can marry a handsome man. Usually has more contact with Lu Shaoyuan, has long understood that his family is in the capital, a person came to Anqing Mansion to make a living, some feel sorry for this man, but there is no way to express it, can only take care of it within the scope of ability, thinking in his heart, Xun Yingju said on his mouth: "Brother Lu, don't be polite, if you come to live at home after the curtain, the Xun family in Hongshan Village will be your home in the future." "

"Yes, I will prepare something for you to wear these days, things outside are not clean, when you are alone, you should pay more attention to your body and don't get sick." Bai Shi was also nagging on the side, as if he was instructing his relatives who were traveling far away.

Lu Shaoyuan nodded, his eyes were a little more envious, and his mouth had already expressed his gratitude: "Thank you Aunt Bai." "

In the following days, there were a few more people in the family, and Xun Yingju immediately arranged for Spring Sleep and Yusheng to prepare a place for the newcomer.

"Girl, the slave is in your house at night, taking care of Young Master Heng at night." Without waiting for Xun Yingju to arrange a place to live, Qiu Xue offered to help take care of the child.

Seeing that Qiu Xue is a person who understands the rules, this is just to take care of the little master, Xun Yingju thought about it, nodded and said: "It's okay, today you and Li Dashan live in the west house of the south inverted room, Ming'er presses a bed in my room, sleeps there, and helps me take care of Brother Heng at night."

Then looked at Lu Shaoyuan and said with a smile: "Brother Lu is aggrieved, sleeping in the south house of the west wing room, and the two cousins sleep in the north house." "

"Sixth sister, don't be polite, I'll just sleep at will." Lu Shaoyuan didn't care about these little things, only tangled up the title of Xun Yingju, if calling 'Xun girl' seems raw, if calling 'Ju girl' seems to be a bad backup, thinking that Xun Yingju is at home for six, it is better to call 'sixth sister'.

Sure enough, everyone was stunned when they heard this title, but they smiled heartily, but did not object.

Spring Sleep and Yusheng listened to the order, and immediately took out new bedding for the three of them, and prepared some supplies, because the people in the village are not as particular as the people in the city, and everything is mainly practical.

"Uncle, it's too late tonight, why don't you stay at home for one night and go back tomorrow morning?" Xun Yingju said with a smile.

"If you don't come, tomorrow morning your aunt will get up early to go to the town to sell goods, and there will be fewer people later." By the way, fill me some of your preserved eggs, and I'll let your aunt try to sell them! "Boss Bai is a little embarrassed, his niece has helped the Bai family a lot, and now he actually takes the initiative to ask for things to sell.

Xun Yingju didn't feel anything special, but smiled and said: "Uncle is right to do this, let's feed the family with our hands, and let them say what others say." Saying that, Xun Yingju was going to the warehouse to move preserved eggs.

"I'll go with you." Lu Shaoyuan raised his leg to keep up and took a torch in his hand.

The two moved out two porcelain jars, took out the preserved eggs, counted thirty, and went to get twenty more, after all, the family always has to eat. Xun Yingju also taught Boss Bai how to remove the lime on it, wash it, and cook it in the pot, since it is to be sold, it is better to cook, so that it can still be sold at a price.

Xun Yingju has already calculated the price, if you just want to make some money, it is almost the same to buy three or four texts, but this preserved egg is the first part of the big week, it is difficult for outsiders to learn how to make it, it is to learn, and it will take three or five years later, taking advantage of this time to earn more silver. After calculating in her heart, she said: "Uncle, the preserved egg sells eight wen one, and I will get you five wen one." "

"So expensive? Can it be sold? Boss Bai was surprised, thinking that his niece's heart was too dark, and the eggs and duck eggs bought for less than a penny could earn seven cents as soon as they changed hands, these money were enough for ordinary people to eat rice grain for more than ten days, who was willing to buy these to eat? A salted duck egg is only sold for three cents, and it can be sold for forty or fifty pieces a day, how many can you sell for preserved eggs at such a high price?

Seeing Boss Bai's hesitation, Xun Yingju guessed his uncle's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Uncle, we are not selling to poor families, people who can buy it are not short of these money, moreover, in the future, the entire Great Zhou, in addition to leisurely living can sell preserved eggs, only the Bai family, you think, if it is sold cheaply, will those people still be a good thing?" "

It's no problem to say this, Boss Bai nodded and gave yesterday's money for marinade, bean sprouts and salted duck eggs. Xun Yingju gave the newly collected eggs and duck eggs to Boss Bai.

The marinated flavor and bean sprouts have long been weighed, the salted duck eggs have been counted, and now only the preserved eggs are added and loaded directly on the donkey cart. When he left, Bai Shi packed Jin'er's newly made dishes in a small clay pot, and went home and directly heated them on them.

After a busy night, everyone was tired and washed and slept with hot water.

Early the next morning, Xun Yingju got up early, sent Bai Yujiang and Yusheng to the town to sell brine, and after leaving, she was about to go to the vegetable field to pick some peppers, when she heard that something had happened to Aunt Cai's house next door.

Just listened, Er Ya's sharp cry came, and the voice carried endless sadness and sadness.

"Mom, why did you leave us behind?"

"They all bully us, what should we do?"

"It's broken, something happened!" Xun Yingju's first reaction was that something really happened to the Cai family. There was no time to run back to the yard, directly opened the door and ran to Cai's house, and found that there were already three or five neighbors standing in the yard, and Aunt Zhao on the other side of the Xun family was also there, standing in the courtyard, secretly wiping her tears.

Looking further inside, Cai Erzhu knelt on the ground stunned, and Erya, Xiaohe, and small stones pounced on the door panel of the hall and cried.

Verse 75: There is no money in the family

Seeing such a scene in the yard, Xun Yingju had a bad premonition, and hesitated in her heart whether to enter the house to take a look. Seeing Aunt Zhao on the side, her face was bitter, as if she knew something.

"Body, what's going on with Aunt Cai's house?" After hesitating for a while, Xun Yingju decided to find out what happened first.

"Hey, Cai's sister-in-law is gone?" Aunt Zhao glanced inside the room and said in a low voice.

There was bitterness in his voice, like sadness about what happened to Aunt Cai, and like lamenting his fate.

"Ugh!" Xun Yingju was shocked at this time, yesterday Aunt Cai was still at home to help wash pigs and water, kill chickens and slaughter ducks. Why did the people disappear this morning, thinking about it, he immediately asked: "Aunt, Aunt Cai was fine yesterday, why is it gone today, is there something wrong at home?" "

"Hey, I can't keep busy with this, and it's okay to tell you." Aunt Zhao's gaze swept across the courtyard, found that it was nothing, and slowly said the matter again.

It turned out that the Cai family returned home after work and found that Cai Pozi was already waiting at home. Cai Pozi came to ask for money, because Cai Lao's children were studying, and wanted Cai Erzhu to pay for it, Cai Erzhu did not agree, Cai Pozi began to cry, and started to beat Cai Erzhu and Cai Aunt, and finally Cai's eldest family saw that the old lady could not ask for money, and the two of them personally went into battle, directly went to Cai Erzhu's house to search, and directly snatched the silver, full of ten taels of silver.

Not a penny was left for Cai Erzhu's family, Aunt Cai originally planned to use these silver to renovate the house, but she didn't expect that it was all snatched away by Cai's family, and she couldn't open it all of a sudden, so she hung a beam in front of Cai's door, and it wasn't until the morning that she was found, and the body was frozen.

Hearing this, Xun Yingju secretly scolded: "Boss Cai's family is really not a thing. "If you think about it, Aunt Cai is too stupid, she lost her life for ten taels of silver, the child is not cared for, maybe she will starve and be cold, but the person is already dead, and it is a shame to say anything." The matter between him and Cai Lao was a family affair of the Cai family, and others could not interfere, so he asked again: "Aunt, what does Second Uncle Cai mean?" "

Aunt Zhao was stunned at first, did not understand the meaning of Ju Yatou, and after thinking about it, she understood the joints, and sighed: "Now I finally understand that marrying must marry a real man, so that women will not suffer losses, Cai Erzhu is useless, the mother-in-law died, and she didn't say a word." "

It's not that I don't say it, it's just that in Cai Erzhu's heart, his brother is more important than his mother-in-law.

Xun Yingju entered the hall directly, and saw that Aunt Cai's body was placed on the door panel, and the body was covered with a white cloth, and the face of the deceased could not be seen, but it was good to think that the hanged person could not see where. The most important thing now is how to arrange how to deal with Aunt Cai's funeral.

Looking at Cai Erzhu, who was kneeling in front of Aunt Cai's body, his face was pale, but he had no clue. Xun Yingju pulled Erya, who had been crying and crying, up, and said: "Sister Erya, I know that you are very sad, but the most important thing now is to deal with the affairs behind your aunt, you must ask someone to help your aunt buy a coffin and Shouyi, and also invite your aunt's mother's family, your grandfather's family, to come over, so that someone in the family can decide for your sisters and brothers." "

At this time, Er Ya's tears also stopped, listening to Xun Yingju's analysis, she nodded hurriedly and said: "Good sister Ju, thanks to you, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid my mother would be buried with a broken mat by those wolf-hearted and dog-lung things." I'm going to invite someone to my grandfather's house. "

"Second sister, don't worry, the family still has to arrange the spiritual hall, there are still many things to do, I'll let my cousin come and help you later." Xun Yingju knew that this matter would leave a shadow in the hearts of the three children, and the second girl, who usually looked weak, spoke a little ruthlessly at this time.

At this time, Bai Shi brought Chun Sleep over, saw that there were not many people in the courtyard, and was pulled by the mother-in-law on the side to talk, his face was not very good-looking, and he thought that he already knew about the Cai family's voice.

"Spring sleep, go back and ask the second cousin and Li Dashan to come over." Although the family is very busy, the affairs of the Cai family are more important, and it is necessary to properly handle the funeral of Aunt Cai, so as not to make the future life of the second sister and brother more miserable.

"Girl, I'll go." Chun Mian nodded and turned to go.

"Wait." Xun Yingju caught up with the spring sleep, and underestimated the little girl's ear for a while, before letting the little girl leave.

The sky gradually lit up, as the news of Aunt Cai's death spread in the village, more and more villagers came to the Cai family, and no one who learned what happened did not scold Mrs. Cai is not a thing, and so far no one in Cai Lao has come over, and they are even more disdainful of the Cai family's behavior.

After Cai Lizheng learned what happened to Cai Erzhu's family, as a fellow clan, he immediately came to help, seeing that Cai Erzhu was just kneeling on the ground and doing nothing, he felt a pang of anger in his heart, feeling that this Cai Erzhu was too dense. However, when people die, they always have to handle things after they die, so I thought of sending a few people to buy supplies, and also find a few people to dig graves at ancestral graves.

Thinking in his heart, Li Zheng found Cai Erzhu, but Cai Erzhu didn't speak at all, as if he was stupid. I had to find Erya, who was still sober, and wanted to talk about what to prepare for next.

"Girl, Young Master Bai has gone to town, and Li Dashan has come over." Chun Mian came back quickly, holding a small wooden box in his hand, and when he saw Xun Yingju, he immediately ran forward to say hello.

Xun Yingju saw that the speed of Chunmian was not slow, and praised the little girl in her heart for her sharp work, followed by Li Dashan, took the wooden box sent by Chunmian over, and secretly cursed herself in her heart that she was busy and confused, and could only wait for Bai Yujiang to come back and said to the two: "There is an accident in Aunt Cai's family today, let's stay and help them." Cousin, wait for you to take the villagers to the village to buy coffins and funeral things, Li Dashan will listen to Lizheng's arrangement. "

The two nodded after listening, indicating that such a thing could contribute something without accounting.

After explaining, Xun Yingju led the three to find Er Ya and Cai Lizheng, and the two were talking in the back room.

I only listened to Li Zheng and said: "Erya, things have happened, everyone is uncomfortable in their hearts, and the most important thing now is how to deal with your mother's aftermath." "

"Please Uncle Lizheng be our master!" Erya immediately knelt on the ground, crying and asking Lizheng to be the master.

"Hurry up, I'll arrange for someone to go to your grandfather's house to report the letter now, do you still have silver at home?" It also costs money to buy funeral supplies. Cai Lizheng saw that the little girl was pitiful, so he had to take the funeral matters on him.

"Uncle Lizheng, all my family's money was stolen by my grandmother and uncle, and the family was gone." Er Ya cried heartbroken, thinking about the people of that family, and her heart was like falling into an ice cellar.

Hearing this, Cai Lizheng was also speechless for a while, Cai Lao's behavior spread in the village as early as that, no one knew that this family was wolf-hearted, a family that exploited Cai Erzhu's family, but he didn't expect to be so ruthless, but to do funerals, no money is not possible, for a while, he became sad.

"Uncle Lizheng, please help us, I work at Sister Ju's house, and I will definitely exchange the silver for you." Erya knew that this was her family's last hope.
