After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 514 Groundbreaking [3]

"We went to the wheat field and saw that the wheat was growing very well. It was obvious that it was carefully tended. The Yan, Zhang, Liu, Wang and Liu families took turns living in the farm every day to look after the wheat field."

"Manager Tang would send people from Da'an Coach and Horse Inn to check out the wheat fields every few days. Now everyone in the area knows that our farm is protected by Da'an Coach and Horse Inn, so no one dares to cause trouble."

"Zhu Liushi and his wife have done a good job and have kept the house well."

Qin Xiaomi heard this and asked, "Where are the neighbors? Did you run into Mo Xiucai when you went to the city this time?"

Uncle Qin said, "We live on the same street, so we will naturally run into each other."

"We met again?" Qin Xiaomi frowned slightly and asked, "What did you talk about?"

"Are you interrogating the criminal?" Uncle Qin complained before telling the story. He then said, "Look, it's just an ordinary encounter between neighbors. You just think too much."

Qin Xiaomi sneered: "Really? Second uncle didn't think enough back then, that's why he went in."

"Xiaomi." Grandpa Qin shook his head at her disapprovingly.

"Yes, Grandpa, I was wrong. I'm sorry, Second Uncle." Qin Xiaomi admitted his mistake and said, "Anyway, I just feel that the Mo family is not ordinary. You have to be careful. Otherwise, if you get into trouble, I won't save you."

She has lived three lifetimes, so she is more perceptive about things.

"Listen to Xiaomi. It won't hurt to be more cautious." Grandpa Qin said, then changed the subject and asked about his eldest grandson: "Has Dadao's portrait been taken to the government office? Is there any news about Dadao?"

Dadao, Qin Xiaomi's lost brother.

"No news yet, but the government office has accepted the portrait and asked for fifty taels of silver to find the person, saying that this is already a friendly price. What a joke!" Uncle Qin looked at Qin Xiaomi and said, "He's your brother. Your eldest wife has to pay for this."

Pa, Grandpa Qin slapped him again.

"We are the old couple looking for a grandson. Your mother and I will pay for it!"

Uncle Qin was sour that he was bubbling: "Just spoil her."

Grandpa Qin ignored him and asked Jiang Dalang some more questions about the city.

After asking, he had a clear idea in his mind and said with a smile: "Let's divide the things."

"Oh, it's time to distribute the gifts." Jiang Xiaozhu and the others couldn't wait any longer, and immediately helped the adults move the things to the main room. They gathered around the gifts, eagerly waiting for Uncle Qin and Jiang Dalang to share them.

Just some food for the little ones.

But these are food brought back from the city. Even if they are just a few pieces of fruit candy, they are enough to make the little ones happy.

Jiang Xiaozhu and her friends only tasted one piece and then wrapped it up, planning to save it for tomorrow to show off to other kids before eating it.

"Go to bed quickly." After Grandma Qin sent the four children to bed, Jiang Dalang moved out the gold and weapons he had brought back from the city.

Because the world was at peace, this time he exchanged it for 220 taels of gold.

Weapons include long swords and short blades.

There are six in total.

Qin Xiaomi picked up a long sword, which was very heavy in his hand. When he swung it, there was a sound of breaking wind.

Whoosh!

With a snap, a corner of the stool was easily cut off, which frightened Uncle Qin Er. He lowered his voice and cursed: "You damn girl, what are you chopping for? Do you want to murder your uncle?"

Qin Xiaomi moved his hand, pointed the long knife at Uncle Qin, and laughed: "Uncle, you are so timid."

If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't even need to use a knife. Poisoning, dislocating bones, and internal bleeding are all accidents.

Second Uncle Qin was so angry that he wanted to beat her up, but the experience of being beaten down could bring him back to his senses... Humph, he is the elder and should not bother with the younger generation.

Qin Xiaomi tried the short blade again, which was sharper than the long knife and easier to hide.

"Little aunt, second aunt, each of you can take one of the remaining short blades. When the time comes, you can attack the enemy when they are least prepared."

"Okay." Aunt Qin knew that Qin Xiaomi was most worried about her safety, so she took the short blade first and called Aunt Qin, "Second sister-in-law, take it."

After hearing this, Aunt Qin took away the last short blade.

The remaining long swords were taken by Grandpa Qin and Jiang Dalang.

Uncle Qin: "..."

"No, what about mine? Why don't I have any? I'm the only able-bodied man in this family!"

Qin Xiaomi smiled: "A good knife should be given to someone who knows how to use it. Second Uncle is the weakest in the family in terms of martial arts. If you encounter danger, just hide well. There is no need to waste a good knife."

Uncle Qin: "..."

Brother and sister-in-law from the underworld, don’t blame me, I will definitely beat your daughter up!

Jiang Dalang also took out two round iron plates, which were simple versions of heart guards.

Grandpa Qin made the decision and asked him and Qin Xiaomi to take one each.

Then he said seriously, "Although these are things that Wei Lu allowed, they are really eye-catching, so we have to hide them well and take them out when we need to save lives... Don't tell anyone except those of us present."

"Yes." Qin Xiaomi and the others responded, and they were busy for another half an hour before they hid the gold and weapons.

The next morning, Jiang Dalang and Xu Sanjun drove a mule cart, took some gifts, picked up Doctor You's apprentice who was looking for his son, went to the county town to return the cart, and met the four apprentices.

When Liang Zhi found out, he also wanted to go.

Huang Yanglong said that he couldn't let Liang Zhi snatch his brother Jiang away, so he took Xiaobai and chased after him.

Jiang Dalang: "..."

There was constant noise along the way, but fortunately Jiang Dalang was able to suppress it and managed to return to the village before dinner.

Taking advantage of the time before dinner, he found an opportunity to find Qin Xiaomi and handed her a small wooden box: "This is for Xiaomi, open it and take a look."

Qin Xiaomi felt that the wooden box was too hot and didn't even take it: "I'm still young, I don't need a hairpin."

In her previous life, she had a lot of jewelry, so she could tell at a glance that this was a box for long hairpins.

Jiang Dalang understood what she meant. While he was glad that Susu did not fall in love with his body, he couldn't help feeling a tingling sensation in his heart.

After a while, he said solemnly: "Xiaomi, it's not a hairpin, it's a weapon, open it and take a look."

arms?

Then she had to see it.

Qin Xiaomi took the box, opened it, and took out a long black hairpin inlaid with a silver peony. She pulled hard, and the place where the hairpin was connected to the silver peony was pulled apart, and a sharp, slender short thorn appeared in front of her eyes.

Qin Xiaomi bent the short thorn with her hands and was extremely satisfied: "It's very hard and can easily pierce thick skin and flesh."

It is a small hidden weapon that is easy to carry and has strong offensive power.

"Very good, I like it very much. How much silver did you buy it for?"

Jiang Dalang knew what she was going to do and said hurriedly, "This is a gift from me to Xiaomi. Xiaomi doesn't need to pay."

Qin Xiaomi smiled. She had not tried this trick in her first life.

"I'll buy it for whatever price you give me. Otherwise, you can take it back and I can ask someone to buy it for you in the capital."

Jiang Dalang had no choice but to give a number: "Thirty-five taels."

A bit pricey, but worth it.

Qin Xiaomi believed the price and gave Jiang Dalang a silver note: "Silver and goods are paid, thank you."

After saying that, he walked while inserting the hairpin into the bun on her head. From now on, this would be her personal weapon.

If anyone dares to plot against her, the hairpin and eye socket meal will be delivered immediately.

Jiang Dalang looked at her hair bun with a hairpin, suppressed joy hidden in his eyes... Susu, the short thorns in the hairpin were added by me myself.

From now on, the things he made would accompany her all the time.

Of course, Jiang Dalang was very cautious, and he did not use any of the craftsmanship from his previous life on this hairpin.

……

Three days later, on May 26th, old man Xun calculated that it was a good day for breaking ground.

The day before the groundbreaking ceremony, the Qin family ordered a big pig head.

It was stewed on the evening of the 25th.

On the 26th, before daybreak, the Qin family got up and got busy, fishing out the pig's head, arranging cakes and dried fruit plates, preparing wine and drinks, and busying themselves with various matters related to the groundbreaking.
