After dressing as a villain's ex-wife, she went crazy for whitewashing

But when he raised his eyes again, Xiao Yunheng regained his usual alienation and coldness, and said politely to Lu Xiyue, "Thank you."

The three of them had dinner, and Lu Xiyue talked to Chen Guancha, and bought some clothes at a nearby cloth outfit with the money.

They were exiled all the way for several months, and the clothes on their bodies were already in tatters.

Chen Guancha took the big head, a total of 800 taels of silver, and was in a good mood, so he didn't make things difficult for Lu Xiyue.

After shopping, the group took a good rest at the post station for a day, and arrived in Lingnan in one go.

What they found was a place called Qiong County.

Chen Guancha handed over the man to the local county magistrate, and was about to return to the capital.

Before leaving, Xiao Yunheng suddenly took out a letter, and said: "Master Chen, I wonder if you can hand over this letter to Huai'an Hou Shizi after returning to Beijing, to report your safety."

Huai'an Hou Shizi and Xiao Yunheng are classmates and friends, and everyone in Beijing knows it.

Chen Guancha's eyes fell presumptuously on Xiao Yunheng's face.

However, Xiao Yunheng's face was still covered with red rashes, and he looked sallow and sickly.

It's a pity that a handsome man who is so noble and gorgeous now has been reduced to his current appearance.

If Xiao Yunheng didn't get sick, he wouldn't mind——

Sensing Chen Guancha's scrutinizing gaze, Xiao Yunheng felt disgusted in his heart, and took out a finger wrench from his bosom, handed it to him, and said: "This is the family treasure of Prince Ning's Mansion. If Lord Chen is willing to serve you, it is yours." It's paid."

The family heirloom of Prince Ning's Mansion?That's worth a lot of money!

A satisfied smile appeared on the corners of Chen Guancha's lips. He took the letter and finger wrench from Xiao Yunheng's hand, and handed him over to the local county magistrate arrogantly.

Xiao Yunheng's eyes fell on Chen Guancha's back coldly, his expression was so gloomy that ink might drip out at any moment.

"Come here, take them to Dashan Village, hand them over to the village head, and let them plant fruit." The county magistrate didn't give them a second look, and asked his subordinate officials to take the three of them down.

They soon reached Dashan Village.

Generally, when prisoners are exiled, they will go to open up wasteland and farm, and they have to pay a certain amount of food to the local area every year.

And Lingnan is rich in fruit, especially in Qiong County, which produces lychee, which is the favorite of the nobles in Shangjing.

So Lu Xiyue and the others were brought to this mountain village, and they were asked to plant lychees every year, and then pay tribute to the local government.

Entering Dashan Village, you can see as far as the hills, as far as the surrounding fields, and there are fruit trees in the front and back of the house.

It was midsummer at this time, and it was the season for lychees to mature. Those fruit trees were sparsely hung with bright red lychees, which was quite a sight.

Although Lu Xiyue was a doctor in her previous life, her grandmother's family happened to own a farm. She has been familiar with the fruit grafting technique since she was a child, but she knows a lot about it.

It's better to let her grow the fruit than to open up wasteland.

The reason why it is said to be sparse lychees is that the grafting techniques of the ancients were not good enough, so the yield of these lychee trees is not high.

She only needs to pay enough fruit tribute every year, and the rest can be sold for money.

After entering the village, the police quickly went to the village chief.

When she found the fruit forest where the village head was, Lu Xiyue heard a violent quarrel.

"Boss Li, your price is too low. In this way, we don't earn any money at all, and we put a lot of manpower and fertilizer into it!"

"Village chief! There is no way to lower the price. Your fruit is too much wasted! If you transport it to Shangjing, at least two-thirds of it will be destroyed!" A middle-aged man with a fat head said in embarrassment.

"That's what you said, but the price you took from me is very different from the price you sold it in Shangjing! I heard that the lychees are worth one tael a catty when they arrive in Shangjing!"

"It's a long way to go to Shangjing to sell one tael of silver per catty. Isn't the human boat fare money?" Boss Li said without giving in, "I can only give you five cents and ten catties for this fruit. If you think If not, then you can find another place."

"Five cents and ten catties! We fruit farmers don't have enough money for labor and fertilizer!" The village chief said with a sad face.

The arrester leading Lu Xiyue didn't have the heart to watch Boss Li arguing with the village chief. He walked up to the village chief and said, "Village chief, this is an exiled prisoner released from above. The county magistrate ordered him to be placed in your village. It is five hundred catties of fruit tribute every year."

The village chief was on fire right now. He glanced at the three of Xiao Yunheng and said impatiently: "There is a cow shed over there. Now everyone grows fruit and no longer raises cattle. You should go there first to settle down! But the cattle The shed is shared by the village, and you live there and donate a penny to the village’s ancestral hall every year.”

Live in a cowshed?

Still pay?

Lu Xiyue glanced at the direction pointed by the village chief from a distance. Although the cowshed was covered with straw, it was already crumbling.

Not to mention water leakage in rainy days, even if it is windy, it will be cold to death.

A look of embarrassment appeared on her face, and she said: "Village Chief, the cowshed is too dilapidated, is there a better place, even a thatched cottage will do."

As soon as the words came out, the village chief, who was holding back his stomach but couldn't send it to Boss Li, opened his eyes instantly, and said angrily: "I can't live in love! It's fine if I can't! You can go find a cave to rest if you can't stop! If you pay five hundred catties of fruit tribute every year, I don't care where you live!"

The village head scolded with spit.

Mother Lu and Xiao Yunheng's expressions were quite ugly.

Lu Xiyue's expression was still good, but instead she said: "Village Chief, is the buyer of this fruit suppressing the price because the lychees are not easy to transport? If I have a way to solve the transportation problem of lychees, let the lychees from Lingnan be transported to Shangjing, Is it as fresh as the one just picked?"

As soon as these words came out, not only the village head, but even that boss Li's eyes lit up!

"Little lady, tell the truth! Do you really have a way to transport this lychee to Shangjing, and it's still as fresh as the one you just picked?" Boss Li couldn't wait to walk up to Lu Xiyue and asked immediately.

Only then did the village chief look straight at Lu Xiyue.

Although this woman was not dressed clearly, she was calm and composed, and she was indeed different from the men who did rough work in the village, she had a natural nobility and majesty.

The village chief also looked at Lu Xiyue, and said, "If you really have a way to solve this problem, I will give you the abandoned house at the east end of the village, and I will give you an orchard nearby, so that you can plant trees. Make it easier."

Lu Xiyue nodded, and said: "I dare to say that, of course I have my way."

Seeing her determined expression, the village chief suddenly had a plan in his heart, and said, "That's the best, Er Niu, you take them to the east of the village and settle them down."

Seeing that the village chief let Lu Xiyue go away, Boss Li became anxious all of a sudden, and hurriedly said: "Little lady, hold back, what can you do, just say it, if it is really effective, I will buy you for 100 taels way!"
