Xie Xian closed the box, with a faint smile on her face, and said to Wu Nu and the others: "You have more than enough funds for your activities now, and you should buy yourself some decent things."

In her opinion, it was appropriate to say that this box of gold was the profit of the Blackrock Guards, but it also made sense to say it was not. After all, it was unexpected wealth, and there was no harm in sharing it.

But Wu Nu and the others insisted on presenting all the gold cakes to Xie Xian, speaking earnestly and bowing: "These are what the lady deserves."

Xie Xian thought about it. It seemed that this was compensation for the mental damages of her and Wang Xiaopang. Xie Xian's eyes moved and fell on their open-toed shoes and patched clothes, and her heart felt a little bitter.

He bent down and picked up a gold cake, played with it in his hand, and said nonchalantly: "I don't care about this little bit of gold. Here~ the rest is yours!"

Xie Miao, who had just walked in, took a glance and paused as he was pouring tea.

Wu Nu and the other two were shocked when they heard this: "This~"

He was not good at speaking and his face turned red. Although they had just returned in the past two days and had no time to go to Wei Li, they came to deliver the goods. But they also heard that the situation of Black Stone Guard this winter was worrying.

Seeing Xie Xian's impatient attitude, he had to leave in silence. He really didn't understand why his mistress had such an awkward personality. The raccoon's eyes were shining inside and out when he saw the gold.

But after he left, Xie Xian patted her chest in agony, fell on the couch, and wailed: Once upon a time, tens of thousands of dollars were placed in front of me...

Xie Miao went out with the teapot in his hand, and laughed out loud before the curtain was lowered. My wife is good in every way, except that she values ​​money and goods.

However, she could not slack off. According to the news she had received in the past few days, the disaster in the east was getting worse. A large number of refugees were already on the road, and the situation in the towns along the way was not optimistic. The major families had the conscience to distribute some porridge and food.

The army would be sent to drive away any unscrupulous people who came close. There were also many cases of refugees harassing villages and towns along the Chen County line, which made everyone start to be vigilant.

If these refugees continue to be left unpacified, who knows what will happen?

Xie Xian spent several days in Taohua Manor, planning to expand her next workshop next to this place. However, she didn't know that Black Stone Guard was in a dilemma.

Blackstone Station.

The straw curtains were hanging low, and the flames in the fire pit flickered, illuminating the loneliness of the room.

"The Xue family is so shameless!" Niu Er was so angry that he slammed the coffee table, shaking the teacup. "The charcoal supply was cut off just like that. Just because of a little dispute between children, they are going to attack us Black Stone Guards when we are down?"

Si Ji leaned on the pillar, staring at the jumping flames, his face solemn. He knew very well that the Xue family's move was not just for a trivial matter, but there was a bigger intention behind it - to test the attitude of the second branch of the Xie family and Xie Xian by cutting off the charcoal.

Now, the candidate for Lord Xing has not yet been determined, and several forces in the county city are eyeing the opportunity and trying to take advantage of it to test the bottom line of the Xie family.

Xie Changhuan was wrapped in a thick fur cloak, with the jade crown on his head combed meticulously. He closed his eyes slightly and said, "The Xue family is getting worse and worse than before. If we don't have the charcoal, then we don't need it. The old people in the guards should gather together and have someone take better care of them." He seemed not to care.

"That's impossible. The Master is afraid of cold. If we don't have good charcoal, how are we going to survive the winter?" Niu Er and his companions were a little anxious.

"It's fine for me alone, but I'm afraid so many old, weak, women and children in the garrison will suffer. Ahem..." He panted a few times as he finished speaking. The fire pit produces a lot of smoke, and if the charcoal is not good, it will choke people.

Niu Er walked back and forth a few steps: "We can burn some ourselves, but my husband's body cannot stand the smell of bad smoke.

"Why not ask the Lady?" Si Ji suggested at the right time. He had just received news yesterday that the Lady had been staying in Taohua Manor these days, and Wu Nu and others had just seen her not long ago.

Xie Changhuan waved his hands, "Absolutely not!" His face showed pain and his cough became more violent.

Seeing that he insisted, Niu Er and Si Ji had to withdraw first.

"Ah! What should I do? If I had known, I would not have sent the children there. Xie Changhuan learned the other day that he sent the children from Weili to the inkstone pool, and he was so angry that he punished him to stand guard for a few days. It was only when Lao Jia came forward to plead for him that he was exempted from punishment. He knew that his master was most afraid of catching a cold in winter, so he was always extra careful for this reason.

Seeing that Niu Er was extremely anxious, Si Ji said slowly, "Why are you so anxious? Yesterday, Wu Nu and his men brought back a box of gold cakes from Taohua Manor. Did you know that?"

Niu Er was extremely surprised when he heard this: "Golden Cake? Taohua Manor? Doesn't that manor belong to the late lady?" He remembered that since the death of the late lady, the manor has belonged to the clan and has not been used for many years. They only occasionally took a look at it when they passed by when they went up the mountain to hunt.

"Whose do you think it is now?" Siji's eyes flashed with a sly smile. He secretly felt lucky that it was always a good thing for the lady to be close to him. The villages were all neighbors, and if there was any disturbance, they could respond as soon as possible.

Seeing that this guy had completely gone astray, Si Ji was helpless: "These hundreds of thousands of dollars can alleviate some of the problems. The Xue family is not the only one in the county city that has charcoal."

"Oh, yeah. Should we send some to the Inkstone Washing Pool as a subsidy for the kids?" Niu Er grinned.

Siji glanced at him and turned away.

Niu Er was interrupted by Si Ji and his thoughts drifted away in an instant: "Hey, why are you walking so fast? Are you going to Xiyanchi to give some tuition to the kids?" He still didn't give up.

Lao Jia passed by leisurely and left a message: "This gold cake was obtained from the lady."

Niu Er: ...

Xie Xian was lying in the ox cart, thinking about how to get some crystals. She planned to take advantage of the warmth of the kang in winter to hatch some chicks and ducklings. It was obvious that she had to gain experience to advance through the technology tree.

Several lenses need to be ground to distinguish fertilized eggs and increase the success rate.

In addition, the chicken feed also needs to be prepared in advance, and it seems that the earthworms also need to be placed in the greenhouse at the same time. Ahem, I just don’t know if the room is big enough.

I sent some bean sprouts to the other two rooms these days, and the first and third rooms were very considerate and gave me gifts in return.

The eldest wife sent several books on "Geography of Mountains and Rivers", while the third wife was more pragmatic and gave several sheep. Xie Xian flipped through the book casually, which gave her a headache. She put it aside and thought to herself, "What if I sell this bean sprout planting method to my third uncle?"

She lost a lot in this wave of bleeding, and she doesn't have many resources that can be quickly converted into cash, but it's not a bad idea to make some quick money in the short term.

This wave is the bean harvest season. Although the harvest is not as good as in previous years, the market price has dropped significantly. She is planning to cooperate with the third room to purchase a batch of beans. Once the bean sprouts are promoted, the small amount of money can be returned.

Thinking about the success rate of this operation, she estimated that her third uncle Xie Feng should have a lot of gold in his hands. In this way, the problem of liquidity would be easily solved.

Xie Xian looked out the window at the barren alkali land, secretly estimating the success rate of this approach. Although she couldn't get the lion's share, she could still get a little bit of the spoils. Or, how about including the first wife as well?

Ah! My elder brother looks so ethereal, will he scold me again?
