There was chicken, duck, and fish on the dinner table, but the taste was... hard to describe, but compared to previous days, the food was still good.

Miguel got Liu Feiyang's permission and went to the table to eat. He didn't pretend to be pretentious. He said thank you and sat down, introducing the dishes in front of him: "Stewed chicken is my wife's specialty. The young master and madam will try it. It's delicious. "

Liu Feiyang gave Ke Xin a chicken leg. As soon as he took a bite, the fishy smell of the chicken made people feel nauseated. Ke Xin smiled and nodded: "Not bad, you can eat more!"

Liu Feiyang picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth. As soon as he took a bite, he turned to look at his wife, blinking again and again. How dare you say that this meal is delicious?

"By the way, where are the two women who fled? Let me look at them!"

MiG, who was eating happily, was startled when he heard the two women calling him. MiG's hand holding the chopsticks became nervous: "Young madam, these two women are very good and work hard. If they are allowed to take care of the children, Go...I'm afraid..."

Ke Xin laughed: "When did I let them go? I just wanted to take a look at them and ask some questions!"

Seeing that the young lady did not want to drive them away, Miguel shouted twice towards the kitchen: "Sister-in-law Hu, Sister-in-law Wang, come here, the young lady wants to see you two!"

This voice almost screamed out Jiang Kexin's soul. The voice was so loud that it lifted the roof. In a moment, two people wearing clean starched coarse linen clothes came and stood at the dining table with their heads down. Head to toe.

Ke Xin looked at the faces of the two women. They were fair and clean and looked to be in their early thirties. The women's hair was held in a bun with a mahogany hairpin.

"Sister-in-law Hu, Sister-in-law Wang?"

"Hey, my husband's family name is Hu, so everyone calls me Sister-in-law Hu!"

"I...my husband's family name is Wang, and I am a neighbor to Sister-in-law Hu."

There are separate paths for two people.

Ke Xin recognized it clearly. The slightly taller one was Sister-in-law Hu, and the shorter one was Sister-in-law Wang. Both of them had no names. They both used their husband's surname, which was common in ancient times.

"Did you flee the wilderness and come here?"

The two raised their heads and nodded wildly: "Yes, yes, we fled here last September, because it has not rained in our hometown since the year before last, and it has not snowed in the winter. There is also very little water in the new year. By the time we arrive in May, , there was no water, so we had no choice but to flee."

Liu Feiyang and Jiang Kexin were stunned for a moment and looked at each other: "Is there a drought?"

He shook his head: "I never heard of it!"

When did the drought hit Daliang? If there is really a drought, the Liu family will definitely get wind of it.

Ke Xin frowned and looked at Sister-in-law Hu and Sister-in-law Wang, her voice calmed down: "It is a serious crime to deceive people, especially this kind of news, you should think about it before you say it!"

The two of them got red-eyed after hearing this. Sister-in-law Hu quickly defended: "Madam, the Nu family really didn't lie to you, but... the Nu family is from the neighboring country of Jin, not Daliang."

After saying this sentence, not only Liu Feiyang and Kexin were stunned, but even MiG was also confused.

He stood up and scolded sternly: "Aren't you talking about Zengcun Town?"

Sister-in-law Hu and Sister-in-law Wang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Zengcun Town is a small town on the outskirts of Jin Kingdom, but it is very close to Hehua County in Daliang Kingdom. The living habits in our town are the same as those in Hehua County. the same."

MiG:......

Liu Feiyang heard about this place. It was said that this place was very chaotic. People from the Jin Kingdom came in and out of Hehua County to sell things, and people from Hehua County also went to the Jin Kingdom to buy and sell. Later, after the late emperor's rule, Hehua County People from the Jin Kingdom are not allowed to enter or exit, and people from the Daliang Kingdom cannot go to the Jin Kingdom. This has been two years.

"If I remember correctly, people from the two countries were not allowed to interact with each other two years ago. How did you two come here with your children?"

Sister-in-law Hu and Sister-in-law Wang glanced at each other, grabbing the corners of their clothes awkwardly, and it was obvious that they didn't want to say anything.

Ke Xin looked at them like this and comforted them: "If you continue to hide it, I will send you to the official. At that time, it is hard to say whether the official will judge you for being a thief. At least they will send you back. If you I said, if the situation is true, I will handle it specially!"

When the two of them heard this, they fell to their knees on the ground with pale faces, tears streaming down their faces, and they talked intermittently.

"There is a mountain in our town that is connected to the mountain in Daliang. When we fled, we originally wanted to go to the capital of the Jin Kingdom, but there were too many people there. As soon as we left the town, we encountered the plague. Many people died at that time. people."

Sister-in-law Hu recalled that time, with tears welling up in her eyes. She wiped her eyes again and again and continued: "My husband-in-law is an Orion. He said that if we go forward, we will either die of thirst or starvation. Otherwise, we will die if we catch the epidemic. Rather than die like this There is no better way to break through, as long as we pass through this mountain range, we can overthrow the Liang Kingdom."

Sister-in-law Wang took up her words and continued: "We entered the mountains without food or drink for a while, but when we got deep into the mountains there was water, as well as some game and mountain products. The whole village could barely make ends meet, but there were large beasts deep in the mountains. ...I have met tigers, buffalo and wild boar, but at that time, all the villages were rounding up together, but some people were bitten to death by the tiger, and some others died without treatment due to injuries, or were pierced by the tusks of the wild boar. , kicked to death..."

"Many people died in the village at that time, and only about twenty of us were left. But the smell of blood quickly attracted wolves... The men in the village attracted the wolves away for their children, and never came back. .....”

Although they have never experienced fleeing from famine, they shuddered when they heard what they said, but now they felt a little sympathy for these two people: "Then...then you two adults and two children are the only ones left in the whole village?"

The two of them nodded one after another and said with a cry: "There were still a few people at that time, but later on they were all too sad. In addition, they had not had anything to eat or drink for a long time. Some people were so tired and paralyzed that they could no longer walk... They died. Once we were there, we were the only two people in the whole village who came out with our children."

After saying that, Sister-in-law Hu raised her tearful eyes and said, "If Manager Mi hadn't rescued us two, we would have starved to death on the roadside."

MiG looked at Liu Feiyang and Jiang Kexin awkwardly and said, "I...I really didn't know they were from the Kingdom of Jin."

"You know now?"

MiG nodded and said dullly: "I know."

Liu Feiyang gouged out MiG's eyes. His head ached immediately when he looked at the two women. If he handed the person over like this, he would be afraid that the officials would think it was a trick of another country and kill them on the spot. For Wu Shamao, they were nine Cheng is doing this.

But if that were the case, the children in the entire village who had fought tooth and nail to protect them would definitely not survive, and those who were buried in the mountains would be even more desperate to die.

Kexin looked at these two women and thought that their situation was quite difficult, especially with children...

"You two go back and pack your things, take your children and follow me. You don't have to work for the time being until I investigate you clearly."

She was worried about leaving it outside. She could at least keep a close eye on it, but then she thought about what kind of information could be uncovered by leaving Jin Guo's detailed work on Zhuangzi?

But just in case, she still had to be more cautious.

When the two of them went out to pack their things, Liu Feiyang said to Ke Xin: "I will send someone to investigate as soon as possible. If this is the case...then stay and be a rough lady!"

But the heart thinks so too, but now the focus should not be on it, but on the drought!

"Mr. Sir, if you have enough manpower, go to Hehua County as soon as possible to see how the rainfall and snow conditions were in winter last year!"

After Kexin finished speaking, he said worriedly: "If there is a severe drought in the Kingdom of Jin, will it cause a war between the two countries?"

When talking about war, Liu Feiyang shook his head: "Probably not. If there is really going to be a war, then my cousin will have prepared food and fodder for a long time, but I have not received any instructions to prepare food and fodder."

"Besides, Jin Kingdom has too much time to take care of itself, so how can it spare the time to fight? This is not realistic!"

When the husband said this, Ke Xin also felt that he was a little too worried.

They had a small lunch, but they couldn't eat because they had something to do. After the two of them packed up, they left the Shadow Moon Villa and rushed up to the next village.

Feihua Villa.

The person in charge was named Jiang Kebao, who had been working in this village for three years. He introduced it to Liu Feiyang and Jiang Kexin, and after comparison, Kexin found that the soil quality in these villages was pretty good.

Five hundred and seventy acres is inconspicuous among the four villages, but it is not small. It is more than two hundred acres more than Wuji Villa.

Returning to Liuzhai, as soon as he entered the house, Kexin arranged for people to live in his yard and acted like a rough mother-in-law. At that time, Liu Feiyang also asked people to investigate the situation in Zengcun Town, especially in the mountains. If there were really wild wolves Attacking people or tigers hurting people will definitely leave traces.

For the rest of the afternoon, Ke Xin stayed in the study. Wuji Shangshan Villa had the least fertile farmland among the four villages, and the mountain it leaned against was also owned by the family, so it was the most suitable for wine making.

Now that the place has been chosen, let’s build a brewing workshop, warehouse and drying ground...

It gets dark relatively early in winter. After she finished drawing the drawings, the lights were turned on in the house. She was quite satisfied with the masterpiece she had made all afternoon. When she was about to talk to Liu Feiyang about building a brewery, he was very happy. coming.

He grabbed Ke Xin's hand and left: "The county sent a batch of fruit saplings and seeds. I sent someone to send them to another courtyard. Let's go over and take a look now!"

Ke Xin was surprised: "So fast?"

Liu Feiyang raised his chin and raised his eyebrows proudly: "How can I be slow in what my wife has told me? Let's go... see if there is anything you like. If not, I would let people find it!"

The two got on the carriage, and Xiao Wu drove the carriage towards the other courtyard. Liu's Mansion was to the south, and the other courtyard was to the east. It was only a matter of turning a corner, just a few horses whip away.

This time, the two of them didn't climb over the wall, but walked through the gate.

When Butler Liu saw the young master and young lady coming, he immediately greeted them. He was old but not an old fool. Naturally, he knew the purpose of the two coming, so he took the initiative to say: "The saplings are afraid of freezing. The old slave asked people to put them in the woodshed." !”

Liu Feiyang hummed and complimented him smoothly: "Butler Liu is very thoughtful. It's none of your business. You can go and rest!"

After saying that, she took Kexin and ran to the woodshed in the backyard.

The firewood shed in Ke Xin's mind was as big as her own, and it was just better built. But when she saw the firewood shed in another courtyard, her brain really moved. This firewood shed was much bigger than theirs. More than three times.

At that time, there were rows of fruit saplings standing in the woodshed, placed in piles. There was a piece of paper attached to a bundle with the name of the fruit tree written on it, and there were two bags of seeds on the ground.

Mulberries, grapes, peaches, and cherry saplings were all what she wanted. She was so happy that she opened two bags of seeds. There are watermelons and strawberries in the cloth bags.

"Awesome, everything I want!"

Ke Xin looked at Liu Feiyang with a smile: "I want to move these saplings to space now, but what should you say to the housekeeper?"

Looking at the energetic lady, he pushed the broken hair on her forehead behind her ears and said with a smile: "Just be happy, I will take care of the other things!"

Jiang Kexin stared at his eyes for a long time, and secretly guessed him. If he thought correctly, he should lock the door of the woodshed and then ask the housekeeper to not allow anyone to come to the woodshed. But if this is the case, what if? Butler Liu was squatting here to fulfill his duty. After looking through the window, he was startled by the empty woodshed. At that time, how should he explain this thing that disappeared out of thin air?

Although the housekeeper is a servant, there is nothing to fear, but what if it is leaked?

"Ms. sir, you have people load the fruit saplings out of the town in the evening. I will receive the space and go there. After they have been cultivated for a while, I will move them out and send them directly to the village!"

It's better to do this kind of thing stealthily, be careful and you won't make a big mistake!

Liu Feiyang actually wanted to tell her that it didn't matter. Anyway, as long as the two of them didn't tell, who would know? But there is a certain reason why the lady is so cautious.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll arrange for Xiao Wu to do this when I get back!"

Ke Xin smiled, hugged Liu Feiyang's waist, and said with a smile: "Xiao Wu has probably suspected it for a long time, but he never said anything or asked. This man is really honest and obedient."

There is no denying what the lady said, Xiao Wu is indeed loyal, Liu Feiyang said: "I rescued Xiao Wu, and he is loyal to me for a reason. You can rest assured about him, he will never betray me!"

save?

Ke Xin raised her head and looked at him, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling, and she said with a sweet smile: "It seems there is a story between you and Xiao Wu. Come and let me hear it!"

He pointed to the woodshed and said, "You want me to tell you here?"

Ke Xin shook her head, it was already dark, and she was standing here in such darkness that she didn't admit it, but she didn't have the habit of abusing herself. So he took the initiative to drag people away.

In the front yard, Liu Feiyang told Butler Liu before leaving: "Someone will come tonight to take away the fruit saplings and fruit seeds."

Butler Liu was startled, his big hazy eyes filled with doubts. Was he just about to be transported away? Then why not ship it directly to the place? But the wise man did not ask the young master, but nodded in agreement: "I understand."

After explaining, Liu Feiyang took his wife in a carriage and went to the restaurant for a tour before returning to his house.

In the dining room, Liu Xun and Han Ruyue were already waiting for them. Seeing the hurried return, Han Ruyue held Kexin's hand with concern: "I heard that you have been busy all day, are you exhausted? "

Before Ke Xin could say anything, Han Ruyue said again: "If you are tired, just leave the work to Yang'er to save him from being lazy!"

But he didn't even think about it and nodded directly: "Mom is right, if Feiyang continues to be lazy like this, he will become a useless person. He should be made busy!"

The theatergoers were very unhappy: "Don't mess with me, you said, I'm living a happy life now, don't do that kind of work, don't make arrangements for me!"

Liu Xun stared at him with a pair of sharp tiger eyes, his brows darkened, and he shouted angrily: "Look what you look like. I have been on my own for several years when I was twenty-three, and you are already two years old!"

When she heard her child's words, she felt guilty. She still didn't know how to tell her mother-in-law. She planned to wait until she was twenty to ask for more.

But Liu Feiyang beside him said nonchalantly: "Our family has a powerful man like my father, so how can I be used? My son, I just want to eat, drink and have fun. Besides, I haven't had enough fun yet, so why do I want children?"
