Jiao Yun didn't expect to be able to hear this kind of palace secrets, so he moved closer: "Brother Tao, you don't know...you are also from Beijing, right?"

Tao Wuzuo snorted his head again: "You are smart enough." However, the county government servant mentioned it to Mrs. Jiao before, and it seems that Mrs. Jiao is really not a talkative person like Jiao Xiusheng.

Jiao Yun: "Brother Tao, you are indeed right?"

Tao Fu replied: "Yes, I am indeed from Beijing, so I naturally know some things better than others." He is the second son of Tao's family. One move has to be left behind.

In the past few years, the forces in Beijing and China have been changing and turbulent. The Tao family is in this whirlpool. They don't know that if they make a wrong move and follow the wrong master in the future, the Tao family will not be able to please them.

Even the generations of loyal courtiers of the Bai family could not escape this catastrophe, and all of them were wiped out. His father thought about it a few years ago and left him as a follower. He wanted to return to his hometown to inherit his grandfather's mantle and start as a servant.

At that time, he acted in a play, and he came to Changyang County alone to work as a coordinator in the county government. If something happened to the Tao family one day, then he... would become the only Tao family that was not involved, maybe It can also protect a few descendants who may survive.

It sounds heroic, but it is also a hidden move left by the last resort.

There is no need to explain Tao Yuzuo's works to Jiao Yun, but when Tao Wuzuo is silent for a moment, Jiao Yun's sense of sadness wells up all over his body and peeks into one or two of them.

Jiao Yun didn't say anything else, and quickly changed the subject.

No one could tell Tao Wuzuo how uncomfortable he was. During the time he spent with this child, he felt that he was at least a clever and articulate person, and since he was Jiao Xiusheng's nephew, he could only say one or two things.

Tao Yuzuo quickly finished a bowl of small wontons, and before leaving, he sneaked and stuffed Jiao Yun with a box of things: "Here, you didn't buy it because you were in a hurry to go to Yang's house at the rouge shop. This time, don't say I bought it for you. of."

Jiao Yun stretched out his palm and took a look: "Eh? This..."

Tao Wuzuo had already got up, coughed lowly, patted his shoulder, and ran away before Jiao Yun could speak.

Jiao Yun looked at the things in his hand: "..."

He was really just using it as an excuse.

Nie Baichang originally sat in the same row with Jiao Yun, but later Jiao Yun sat in the same row in order to have a private conversation with that Mr. Tao. At this moment, he was even more dazed. He hesitated for a while, and sat down obediently. straight.

I peeked at it, and then took another look, but I didn't know what it was.

Jiao Yun had a headache at first, how would Tao Yuzuo explain this to Wanniang, when he caught a glimpse of Nie Baichang's small movements, he was amused, and stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around Nie Baichang: "Nie Xiaobai, what are you peeking at?"

Nie Baichang's jade-white face was slightly red: "Mr. Tao...what is this for you?"

Jiao Yun: "Facial fat is what you put on your face."

Nie Baichang turned his head to Jiao Yun's white face: "??" Brother Yun wants to apply this?

Jiao Yun understood what he misunderstood, and quickly explained: "What are you talking about, this is for mother, it's not me, it's just... I asked Brother Tao to buy it before, hey, mother is here, let's not talk about it, wait a minute Don't talk about it, wait until you get back."

Of course, you can't give this thing in front of outsiders, even if you want to send Wanniang in his name.

Nie Baichang has always been obedient and naturally has no objection.

When Wanniang came over, she had already put the tables, chairs and benches in the store, and they waited together for a while, when the uncle who drove the car came, and they got into the car.

However, she didn't go back directly, but instead went to a butcher shop pointed by Li to buy meat, because the business hadn't been negotiated yet, and Wanniang didn't know about it, so it was still fifty cents a catty.

Wanniang bought fifty catties, paid two taels and five dollars, and just took advantage of the bullock cart to drive back to Songjun Village.

The uncle who drove the ox cart during the recent period had a good life because of Wanniang, a long-term customer. From a distance, I saw a group of people passing by on the official road not far away.

The driver couldn't help but look a few more times, and Jiao Yun and the others also looked.

Dozens of people were seen wearing the servants of the Yamen, holding spears in their hands, the three leading them were riding horses, and there was a coffin on top of a cart in the center.

Seeing the coffin, for some reason, Jiao Yun remembered what Tao Yuzuo said before: The one lying in this coffin could be that General Bai, right?

The master driver didn't expect to see so many officials, so he frightened and raised his whip, the ox cart immediately picked up speed, and soon drove into the road of the village.

As the group of people got farther and farther away, Jiao Yun also let out a sigh of relief, but when he tilted his head, he saw Nie Baichang, who was beside him looking at the group of people, his face was a little pale, and his fingers were covering his heart.

"Nie Xiaobai, what's wrong with you?" Jiao Yun lowered his voice.

Nie Bochang shook his head: "It's okay, I'm just a little dizzy, and my chest is tight." He didn't know what was wrong with him, but when he looked at the coffin, he felt uncomfortable.

Seeing that he was still looking at the coffin, Jiao Yun felt that he must have felt uncomfortable when he saw the coffin and remembered the picture of the ugly girl's death, "Then don't look at it, it's okay, go back and let my mother cook something delicious."

Wanniang also heard it, so she simply changed places with the child, fearing that it would involve sad things.

Nie Baichang nodded slightly, he had already turned a corner and couldn't see the group of people. He closed his eyes and didn't feel relieved until he entered the village.

Jiao Yun and Wanniang breathed a sigh of relief when they were sure that Nie Baichang was fine. When they returned, it was not long after noon, and most of them had landed on the ground. There were not many people in the village. Although they smelled the smell of meat in the past two days, they heard that Wanniang was planning to cook meat For business, I feel that Wanniang, a woman, will definitely not be able to make much money. Meat is so expensive, who would be willing to buy it?

But it smells really good.

But because Wanniang took in Bo Geer, the villagers didn't have the cheek to visit the house. Life was not easy at first. They couldn't return to the house to eat meat, and they all told their children not to go there.

Therefore, the entrance of Wanniang's house is very clean.

Wanniang was afraid that Brother Bai was tired, so she asked the two of them to rest. Jiao Yun originally wanted to light a fire for Wanniang, but after thinking about it, he decided to accompany Nie Baichang.

Jiao Yun saw that Nie Baichang was fine. He excused himself to go to the latrine and ran out. He entered the space in the latrine, found a dusty and very old porcelain bottle, and saw that there was no other ink pad or anything else. Fat to put in. Go.

The facial fat Tao Wuzuo bought should be an excellent one, and the bottle on the outside couldn’t possibly be the price he wanted to say, so it still needed to be disguised.

After Jiao Yun finished the matter, he took Nie Baichang and ran out secretly, ran around and came back.

Wanniang just came out to carry firewood and saw them running out: "Why don't you stay inside?"

Jiao Yun leaned over, hands behind his back mysteriously: "We saw a peddler passing by, so we went to the entrance of the village to buy something."

Wanniang usually gave Jiao Yun a few pennies every time she made money, but it was no surprise, "Then what did you buy? Did you buy it for Brother Bo?"

Jiao Yun brought Nie Baichang into the kitchen with Wanniang, "No, I didn't buy it, neither did Nie Xiaobai. But... I bought something for my mother."

"Huh?" Wanniang paused and put down the firewood, "What is it? Let my mother see." Seeing Jiao Yun with his hands behind his back, he couldn't help laughing, still mysterious.

Jiao Yun asked Wanniang to close her eyes, and when Wanniang opened it again, she saw an unattractive porcelain bottle in Jiao Yun's palm. , but when I opened it and saw the contents inside, I couldn't help being startled: "You are..."

Jiao Yun saw that Wanniang's eyes were slightly red: "It's facial fat. The peddler brother said it was very cheap, so I bought it for him with the copper coins my mother gave me."

There was moisture in Wanniang's eyes. He had planned to buy it before, but he couldn't find a space. Next time, he must remember that it was not Tao Wuzuo who gave it away, but him, the son, who came to give it away.

Wanniang quickly wiped her eyes, because the bottle looked really old, she didn't have much doubts, she put it away, gave Jiao Yun a big hug, and then patted Nie Baichang's head, "They are all good boys, tonight we will eat fried pork slices and steamed chicken." Mantou, wait for my mother to think about what else to eat deliciously, you go and play."

Jiao Yun and Nie Baichang didn't leave. Nie Baichang had been secretly observing Jiao Yun and Wanniang, exhaled lightly, but couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and his eye circles were slightly red. Mother knew that he would be able to stay in such a good house now. Peace of mind.

Because we have to get up early tomorrow, the three of Jiao Yun had a rest early, Jiao Yun woke up the next day, washed early so that when he went to the toilet, he found the piece of wild boar from the space, cut off a piece in advance, and soon the wild boar was indeed Back to normal again.

He wrapped the small piece with oiled paper and put it in the small purse hanging on his waist, as a sample for Mrs. Li today.

Only when Li Shi is convinced that he does have wild boar in his hand, will she cooperate with him without any doubt.

When they arrived at the stall today, they had already waited for a group of people who had heard the news yesterday but failed to eat, because there was not enough food due to yesterday's grand occasion, so they waited for Wanniang to open the barrel as soon as Wanniang had just set it up, and immediately did not hesitate. Just pay for it.

The elder and the younger were so busy that they couldn't touch the ground. When the guests finally slowed down a few times, Wanniang breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly fed the two younger ones a few sips of warm water before she drank it herself, fearing that the two younger ones would be tired , Let them rest quickly.

Wanniang hurriedly filled the meal for the two young ones, and when the two young ones had eaten about the same, Mrs. Li came over here.

A customer was eating hard, but when he looked up, he recognized Mrs. Li, and almost choked, so he turned his back and tried his best to pick up the food, and left as soon as he finished eating.

Jiao Yun: "..." Is that an exaggeration?

Mrs. Li seemed to be used to this scene, so she stood in front of the stall and looked at Wanniang who was still in a daze: "Mrs. Jiao, give me two copies, I want them all." Then, he put the sixty coins there, " There is no need to look for those two articles.”

Wanniang was pulled by Jiao Yun's sleeves and hurried back to her senses, she hurriedly groaned, it's just that she put a little more rice and more stewed meat.

Seeing that, the corners of Li's mouth curled up, but she didn't wait for Wanniang to finish, "Think of the two pieces of paper as two children running errands and send them to the restaurant opposite to me. After all..." She looked around, and she was peeking at it Her people quickly bowed their heads, for fear that they would be taken back to Li's family to marry by Li Shi.

Wanniang heard the deep meaning, so naturally she had no objection, because it was the opposite, she was not worried, she let Jiao Yun and Nie Baichang go, but when none of them passed by with two bowls, she stuffed twenty cents in their pockets, "When you get there, rest your feet and don't come back in a hurry."

This was exactly what Jiao Yun wanted, he readily agreed, and took Nie Baichang to the teahouse.

Mrs. Li is obviously a celebrity in Changyang County. As soon as the shopkeeper saw them, he immediately took them to an upper room on the second floor. He stared at Jiao Yun: "Brother Yun, did you mention it to that person?"
