I haven't made a system for many years.

Having said that, after the fire, the Zheng Zhao family, like the villagers, did not dare to go up the mountain to find out the truth.

It wasn't until several days later, when Aunt Chunhua brought a few people to collect the ashes, that Mrs. Zheng Zhao dared to follow her to have a look.After a big fire, there was nothing left. After searching for a long time, Zheng Zhao finally found a few black copper coins in a broken clay pot.

With such a big fire, the villagers firmly believed that Meng Qing and the others would have been buried in the flames long ago.

Therefore, when Mrs. Zheng Zhao saw Meng Qing riding out of the village on a big horse today, she was so frightened that her soul flew out. She really thought that Meng Qing, that evil spirit, would not even be accepted by Lord Hades.

Knowing that he is not dead now, the seven souls are frightened and the six souls are frightened. The dead are terrifying, and the living are also terrifying!

Zheng Zhaoshi hid behind the door and looked at the man secretly, but she couldn't help but be caught in the right spot, and she was so frightened that she clasped the door tightly so as not to slip.

Zheng Zhao's lips turned white, and he kept muttering, how could he still be alive?It doesn't make sense.

Desperately, she returned home, her mind was full of Meng Qing's look at her, like a deadly ghost.

Zheng Zhao touched his chest which was jumping fast, and could only comfort himself, "Don't be afraid, even if he knows, so what, what else can he do to me if he has no proof?"

That being said, Mrs. Zheng Zhao still hid at home for a few days.

It wasn't until five days later, seeing that Meng Qing really didn't come to Zhengjiazhuang, and nothing happened, that Zheng Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The warm sun shone in the yard, dispelling the haze in Zheng Zhao's heart. Taking advantage of the sun, Zheng Zhao packed up the clothes piled up at home and went to the river to wash them.

Although the sun was out, it was early spring and the water was still a little cold.

Looking at her reddish hands and the clothes piled up in the basin, Zheng Zhao couldn't help but frowned and cursed.

"Oh, if I knew it, I wouldn't have sold that bastard. Now she is living well, and she is still eating hot food in the town. But she is doing well now, and she has come to the point where she has to wash and cook by herself. It's spring , but also to open up wasteland and farm by herself, where is she doing the work?"

It was already noon, and most of the aunts in the village chose to go out to wash their clothes in the morning. Therefore, Zheng Zhao was the only one left on the stone slab by the river.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, Zheng Zhao slapped the clothes, as if the clothes had offended her.

"Boom", a huge stone fell into the water, and the splash of water scattered all over Zheng Zhao's body.

Mrs. Zheng Zhao was originally angry, but now she was slapped in the face by someone, how could she hold back?He shook off the clothes in his hands, wiped the water from his face, turned around and cursed, "Which little bastard is playing tricks there? See if I'm not skinning you."

"It's not good to peel off the skin, but I'm happy to peel off the clothes."

Zheng Zhaoshi turned around to look at the person, his face changed again and again, and finally he forced a smile and said, "It turned out to be a monkey, next time we should stay away, or it will be bad if we get wet on the clothes."

Zheng Houzi jumped down from the slope and leaned in front of Mrs. Zheng Zhao, staring at her towering chest with squinting eyes, "What are you afraid of when you get wet, just take it off"!

"You", Zheng Zhao's face turned blue with anger, turned slightly, gritted his teeth and said, "Zheng Houzi, don't be kidding, it's getting late, I have to go back and cook for Da Zhuang, so let's go first."

As he spoke, he randomly stuffed the clothes into the tub, not daring whether they were washed or not.

Zheng Houzi sat comfortably on the other side of the slate, and said with a smile, "I originally wanted to talk to you about what happened that night. Since you have something to do, go away. I'll talk to little brother Meng Qing!"

Zheng Zhao's face changed, and what she was most worried about happened.

She hesitated for a while, put down the wooden basin, moved to Zheng Houzi's side, and said with a smile, "What's there to say about this kind of thing? It's not good for you, is it?"

Zheng Houzi shrugged, "What's wrong with me? I didn't say anything. You said everything. Meng Qing couldn't find me. Besides, even if he was looking for me, it would be nice to have you as a backstop!"

Mrs. Zheng Zhao stared at him fiercely, and said bitterly, "Then what do you mean, my family still needs to raise Da Zhuang, but they don't even have half a penny."

Zheng Houzi moved closer, as if trying to see something from the slightly open neckline.

"What's the rush? I don't want your money, Lamei sister. You are probably only in your thirties today. Zheng Wen has been dead for several years. You don't want someone to accompany you? To warm your feet at night, Stop itching?"

Zheng Zhao's face turned red when she heard this, she didn't know whether it was from shame or anger.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Zheng Houzi secretly smiled. It seems that Widow Zheng is indeed a coquettish woman. I saw her flirting with that butcher a few days ago. Now, it's an advantage for him.

"Sister, I see that your clothes are also wet, why don't you take them off to dry?"

Mrs. Zheng Zhao glared at him, "Who do you think I am?" Then he was about to leave.

When Zheng Houzi saw that she was about to get it, he gave her a good face, and quickly grabbed her, "Good girl, don't leave yet. Only you should agree. I'll pretend nothing happened about Meng Qing, why? Sample?"

Zhao Zhao didn't believe it, and asked suspiciously, "Is what you said true?"

Zheng Houzi patted his chest and said, "Of course it's true. It wouldn't do me any good. Then Meng Qing became annoyed. I can't bear to walk around. If you are willing to accompany me, my sister, why would I bother to touch that bad luck!"

Mrs. Zheng Zhao picked up the wooden basin on the ground and gave him a look, "Hmph, you men spend all day cleaning that thing."After finishing speaking, he calmly picked up the basin and walked away twisting his waist.

Zheng Houzi wiped the corners of his mouth, this girl is really coquettish, after a few smacks, followed behind her, patted her fat buttocks heavily, and whispered, "Sister, then I will go find you tonight"!

Mrs. Zheng Zhao gave him an angry look, "Damn ghost, be careful to be seen by others."

Zheng Houzi laughed, and at night he touched Mrs. Zheng Zhao's bed. Mrs. Zheng Zhao has reached the age of [-] as a wolf and [-] as a tiger. At the beginning, he could bear it. Come every night.

After a rain, the villagers are busy opening up wasteland and planting land. Zheng Zhao's family also has a few acres of thin land to plant.

Zheng Xuan did all these things in the past, but now that Zheng Xuan is gone, Zheng Zhao has no choice but to take Zheng Dazhuang to farm.That Zheng Dazhuang is a lazy person, he can stay there, and he disappeared after a while.

Zheng Zhaoshi only hoeed a few times, but he was so tired that he couldn't stand up straight.Sitting sideways, with waist thrust, this kind of place is really tiring!Looking at the large piece of unplanted land in front of him, Mrs. Zheng Zhao couldn't help complaining.

"Sister, how can I let you do things like farming, it's good to be exhausted."

As soon as Zheng Zhaoshi turned around, she saw Zheng Houzi standing behind her. Before she could react, Zheng Houzi grabbed the hoe from her hand and helped her open up wasteland.

"Sister, go sit and rest! The sun is a bit big, and it won't be good if it gets too hot."

Zheng Zhao blushed, if Zheng Houzi had been so courteous in the past, she definitely would not have looked at him more.However, they have been a husband and wife for quite some time, to put it bluntly, they were still rolling in bed last night, seeing him being so considerate again today, Mrs. Zheng Zhao couldn't help being a little moved.

It was the end of April in a blink of an eye.

After Meng Qing recovered from his injury, he didn't live in Liu Yuan's house. He took Zheng Xuan and bought a small courtyard near the academy.

During the daytime, Zheng Xuan went to the academy to study, and Meng Qing followed the horse team, apparently to transport horses to Gaoliang, but in fact they were conducting multi-country trade.

The relationship between Qi State and Dayue has been very tense, and the two sides have almost cut off the trade. Therefore, the trade between the two parties is illegal.

Since it is not clear, then it is dark. In Meng Qing's view, whether it is Qi or Dayue, they must be unified in the future.His bottom line was not high, so, driven by profit, Meng Qing exchanged things that were not important to the war, such as silk and flowers from Qi, in exchange for things that were rare in Qi, but Da Yue was a rotten street.

Buying low and selling high, Meng Qing has no burden on his heart at all. Besides, this is the great cause of the original owner, and now he urgently needs money to arm the army.

For more than a month, Meng Qing set off from the west of Qinghe Town, crossed the mountains to Gaoliang, then crossed the prairie of the Gaoliang people, and followed the Langlin River to Qiling City on the border of Dayue.

From there, precious gemstones, animals, and other products that Qi State did not have were shipped back, and then handed over to Liu Yuan to sell the property under his name. In just one month, they earned nearly a million silver.

Of course, high profits come with high risks.At least for Meng Qing to take this trip, it will take at least half a month to cultivate.

From Qinghe Town to Qiling City, the terrain is complex and the climate changes greatly. In addition to worrying about all kinds of wind, sand and avalanches on the road, we must also guard against the three sides of the Gaoliang tribe in Qi State. This job is not something ordinary people can do.

After Meng Qing came back, he rested for three or four days before recovering. Just in time, Zheng Xuan also came back from the exchange in Chenzhou Mansion.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they prepared to go shopping in the street to relax.

"What can I gain from going to Chenzhou Mansion this time?"

Meng Qing gestured towards Zheng Xuan with a piece of jade.

Zheng Xuan also gestured to Meng Qing with a waist buckle, then lowered his head and replied, "Well, I met a few friends."

Meng Qing looked at someone who didn't change his face, and felt a little awkward. It's only been less than a year, why is this kid getting calmer and calmer, and he is not easy to tease at all.

"Hmph, people outside know people, face but don't know their heart. You can't trust others easily, or you will be cheated at that time, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Zheng Xuan cocked his lips, pointed to a bronze tiger-striped button and said, "Shopkeeper, I want this one."

Meng Qing quit and tapped his arm, "Hey, I'm talking to you, did you hear me?"

Zheng Xuan took the waist buckle handed over by the shopkeeper, looked at it and nodded with satisfaction, Meng Qing poked him again.

Zheng Xuan laughed and said, "I heard that, don't trust others. Nuo, this is for you, it matches you well."

Meng Qing took the waist buckle, stared at the tiger pattern on it, and gestured to the waist, "Such a domineering animal, of course it matches me"!

Zheng Xuan smiled and said nothing, Meng Qing looked at it carefully for a while and said, "But why does this tiger look a bit like a cat to me?".

Zheng Xuan coughed lightly, and said with a half-smile, "That's how you deserve."

Meng Qing's face collapsed, and he glared at him, "I'm too lazy to talk to you", and then carefully buckled his waist into his arms.

The shopkeeper also smiled when he saw the interaction between the two young people, "You two brothers have such a good relationship."

Meng Qing raised the corner of his mouth proudly, "That's it".

Zheng Xuan also twitched the corners of his mouth, but for some reason, he always felt a little uncomfortable.

"Okay, the jade pendants here are not fresh enough, let's go shopping again."Meng Qing put down the jade pendant he was looking at earlier, the style was very old, and the jade was not good enough, so he bought a batch of good things from Dayue earlier and picked them up there.

Lifting his foot to step across the door, Meng Qing was shocked.

"50% of the mission has been completed, the host please continue to work hard!"
