Wei Ziwan's eyes darkened: "Your husband is right, let's find out what you are involved in first."

Bai Zhi nodded, although she didn't know what the people in Lingjue Villa were planning, and even this Songjia Village was not simple, the only thing that was certain was that all of this should have something to do with her, or her life experience.

After a while, another middle-aged woman came to the yard, saying that the old patriarch ordered her to take care of their daily necessities. Bai Zhi and Wei Ziwan looked at each other without any objection.

What they have to worry about now is what the truth of the matter is, and they must quickly understand and accept everything about Songjia Village.

Fortunately, this person is very responsible. Apart from cleaning the yard, he cooks on time, does not enter the bedroom for half a step, and rarely talks. When it gets dark, he will leave voluntarily.

The night was getting darker, and there were occasional lights in Songjia Village that were still on.

In the forest outside the village, a man's figure waited and watched for a long time before returning to the small inn at the foot of the mountain.

He glanced at the window that was purposely opened before leaving, quickly pushed the door in, and lit the lamp.

The originally empty birdcage under the table was no longer empty.

The slate-gray homing pigeon released yesterday has returned, squatting in the familiar cage, and the corn kernels and water in it have moved a little.

The man walked over to grab the carrier pigeon, took down a thin paper tube, put it under the light and saw the words on it clearly: no one will be left alive.

Hundreds of miles away in Lingjue Villa, Bai Luo glanced at the wedding dress on the bed, and couldn't help but chuckled.

That old fox in Baishu was smart all his life, but he was confused for a while. He would never think of praying mantises catching cicadas, and she, the oriole, must be behind him. That person can't live.

As for Bai Li, heh, it's fine to marry her, but it's up to the father and son whether they can have children or not.

In the early morning of winter, the dawn is very late.

Bai Zhi and Wei Ziwan had just had breakfast when the so-called competition came.

As expected, the old patriarch didn't take much care of things. It is said that he had already returned to Qingshi Temple. The one who came to them was Elder Gong among the five elders. He was in charge of building houses in the village and making furniture and farm tools.

Elder Gong looked like a simple old farmer from the outside, and he lowered his hands kindly: "The first competition is how to deal with the grain harvested this year."

According to what he said, the harvest in Songjia Village is very good this year. In addition to saving enough seeds for next year and the villagers' own food, there is still a lot left over. Several elders want to sell these grains and give them to every household. Increase your income.

Just in time for Bai Zhi and Zhou □ to have a competition, they simply handed over the matter to two young people to see who can bring more benefits to the villagers.

Bai Zhi and Wei Ziwan followed Elder Gong to the warehouse to have a look at the grain to be sold, the quantity was frighteningly large.

Seeing their surprised expressions, Elder Gong still smiled and said, "There are two warehouses in our village, and the amount of grain in them is the same, and the same amount is in Zhou's side."

"Thank you, please allow us to think about it." Bai Zhi turned slightly to get out of the way.

Elder Gong bid farewell tactfully and left.

Only then did Bai Zhi look at Wei Ziwan and said, "It's not right, this village doesn't have many fields, so where can there be so much surplus food?"

This Elder Gong didn't seem to hide anything, and was more direct than the people in Lingjue Villa. He didn't seem to be afraid that they would find out that something was wrong, or that he was waiting for her to find out.

Wei Ziwan looked at a warehouse full of grain, and suddenly curled her lower lip: "Husband, do you want to take a look outside the village?"

The meaning in the words is self-evident, to see if these people will be like Lingjue Villa, send people to watch, what's more, they will be trapped in the village directly.

Bai Zhi raised her eyebrows, her eyes brightened: "Go, let's go out and have a look now."

The two walked towards the outside of the village together, but they were stopped by Zhou □ when they reached the entrance of the village.

She reached out to greet the two men who looked like guards, called them over, and said to Bai Zhi: "The old patriarch ordered you to ensure your safety. Don't misunderstand, you can go wherever you want. They are only responsible for protecting you."

Bai Zhi looked at Zhou, and said in a casual tone, "Thank you Miss Zhou, what if we don't go back to Song Family Village in the future?"

Is this different from the people in Lingjue Villa?

Maybe there is, Lingjue Villa is always hiding its head and showing its tail, in the dark.

But the people in Songjia Village are open and honest, and they are conspiracy.

Zhou □ took a deep look at her, and his expression became indifferent: "The two of them listened to Mr. Bai. If you decide to leave and don't want anyone to protect you, you don't have to let them follow. Feel free."

After that, he stopped looking at them, turned around and left.

The two guards stood aside, as if they did what Zhou □ said, following their orders, as if they would follow if they were allowed to follow, and would not follow if they were not allowed to follow.

Bai Zhi looked at Wei Ziwan: "What do you think?"

Wei Ziwan looked at Zhou □'s back, and looked back at the two guards: "Since it is the kindness of the old patriarch, how can we be ungrateful, thank you both."

The two guards clasped their fists together and followed them a few steps away.

Leaving the village is a long path, narrow and muddy just like when we came here.

Bai Zhi frowned: "If we sell all the grain, how to transport it will be a big problem."

During this section of the road, horse-drawn carts will definitely not be able to drive in, and it is also difficult to say with ox carts, so it is very important to use any method to transport the grain out.

Wei Ziwan nodded slightly, and said with a light smile, "Your husband has decided to stay?"

Hearing this, you still want to win in the competition?

Bai Zhi seemed to have thought of something, and there was a smile on her face: "I think Zhou's words are true, and the guards behind will really listen to our orders. Let them go back now, and they will go back."

The experience of Lingjue Villa once is enough, she definitely doesn't want to do it again.

Right now, Songjia Village feels very friendly to her, as if she can know what she wants to know as long as she asks.

Bai Zhi suppressed the excitement in her heart, don't be anxious about this matter, but keep calm.

She had a strong premonition that as long as she could hold her breath, these people would be unable to hold back first, and then they would not be so passive.

Wei Ziwan glanced at the two people behind her, and agreed: "My husband and I have the same opinion. You can stay in the Song Family Village and find out the facts."

Their voices were neither too loud nor too soft, just like they usually spoke, and they didn't seem to mind the two guards behind them hearing it at all.

Walking out of this small road is a sparse forest, still at the foot of Qingshi Mountain, but fortunately, the road is much wider, further away is the official road, and further ahead is the capital city.

The two stopped in front of the official road.

Bai Zhi touched her bosom, and said in a warm voice: "The identity document prepared by Manager Xi should be no problem for entering the city, but are we going to enter the city today?"

Wei Ziwan raised her eyebrows upon hearing that, Beijing, she doesn't like that place.

"Go back, I didn't bring any money, I'll talk about it next time when I'm ready."

At least buy a veiled hat, it doesn't matter if Bai Zhi is in the depths of the cold palace, she was seen by many people when she first arrived in Baiyue, especially the children of high-ranking officials and noble families, some of them visited her repeatedly.

At that time, the emperor of Baiyue seemed to want to humiliate her, the princess of the enemy country, not only did he not send a minister to greet her when he entered the city, he even didn't care about the accommodation he arranged.

Bai Zhi also suddenly thought of something: "You're right, although we didn't get seen by many people when we left Beijing, it's better to be cautious, prepare two hats first."

Wei Ziwan nodded slowly. They had only left the capital for a few months, so it would be a real trouble if they were recognized accidentally.

She glanced at the two guards behind her. Their faces remained expressionless, but their eyes were clearly wary of their surroundings. They seemed to know their origins, but they seemed to not take their conversations to heart at all.

"Why don't you go back and ask sister Zhou to find two hats, and go to the city tomorrow to have a look."

Bai Zhi's face turned cold, sister Zhou, you mean that Zhou □.

Originally, she only felt that Zhou □ was easy to get along with, but when she remembered that the person in front of her and Zhou □ were sisters, she always felt uncomfortable.

She looked away, and said lightly: "Let someone else buy it, don't bother Miss Zhou all the time."

Wei Ziwan looked at her in surprise, "Trouble Zhou is trouble, why trouble others?"

This person is really awkward.

Bai Zhi turned around and walked back with a cold face, the two of them were speechless for a moment.

Everything in the village was as usual, as if nothing had been affected by their departure.

Bai Zhi thought about not going to Zhou □, but she didn't know anyone well, so she finally went to Elder Gong.

Elder Gong agreed immediately, and sent two hats over that night.

A gray men's hat and a white women's valance, low-key and ordinary styles, are very suitable for them.

At dawn the next day, the two came to the entrance of the village again, where Zhou stood there as usual.

Bai Zhi said hello and asked casually, "Is Miss Zhou waiting for us on purpose?"

She wouldn't believe it if no one reported it in advance, how could it be such a coincidence every time.

Zhou's expression was much more relaxed than yesterday, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said: "Yes, I'm here to ask if you have any good ideas about food, maybe we can cooperate, the important thing is to seek benefits for the villagers Isn't it?"

She smiled lightly, and distractedly blinked at Wei Ziwan, who was beside her, and said, "Sister Ziwan can't hide her beauty even if she's wearing a veiled hat."

Wei Ziwan replied with a smile: "Sister Zhou, don't make fun of me, you are right, cooperation can win-win."

She could tell that Zhou □ was different from that second Miss Bai Luobai, her face and tone were very sincere, and most importantly, there was no malice.

That being the case, no matter whether the cooperation is true or not, there is a saying that if you reach out and don't slap someone with a smile on your face, you should first respond and then observe carefully. It will not affect anything.

On the side, Bai Zhi's face turned cold, and she said in a cold tone: "We will think about this matter carefully, and we will give Miss Zhou an answer tomorrow."

This is a veto of the win-win cooperation that Wei Ziwan just said.

Zhou □ complexion changed subtly.

Seeing this, Wei Ziwan said softly: "What my husband said is that this matter should be carefully considered, and it was just now that I was talking too much."

The corners of Bai Zhi's lips moved and she didn't speak, she didn't mean that, Wei Ziwan's words meant it.

But it was hard to explain what he said, so he simply stopped talking with a cold face.

Zhou □ snorted at Bai Zhi inexplicably, said goodbye to Wei Ziwan, then turned and left.

Bai Zhi's complexion changed slightly, and when she saw other people at the entrance of the village, she endured it, and only after she walked out of the village did she not get angry and said, "Did she laugh at me just now?"

What kind of expression and tone was that, it was clearly mocking her.

Wei Ziwan put away the smile on her face, and her tone was no longer as gentle as before: "Sister Zhou is laughing at me for taking over as a substitute, and daring to make up your mind for your husband."

Bai Zhi glanced at the two guards behind her, and said in a low tone: "Wan Wan, don't be angry, I didn't mean that."

Of course she understands that it is right to agree to cooperate first and then slowly figure it out, but she just feels uncomfortable.

Wei Ziwan gave her a blank look: "Then what do you mean? It was hard for outsiders to say it just now, so let's make it clear now."

Bai Zhi immediately pursed her lips, she thought Wei Ziwan was not angry, but her gentleness in front of outsiders was all fake.

"It seems that I am talking too much. Forget it, I will give you the 20 taels of silver, and after the 100 taels of silver is exchanged in the city, I will give you another 40 taels. We will settle the matter, and no one will care about anyone else's business in the future."

Wei Ziwan's tone was indifferent, and she took out her purse for money while talking.

Bai Zhi looked at the money handed over, and quickly waved her hand to refuse: "I don't want it, you still keep the money."

After speaking, she was stunned for a moment.

Once upon a time, I wanted to take all the silver, but now I would refuse it!

"I will decide about the money that was agreed at the beginning, and you will decide the rest of the matter. It is true that I meddled in my own business just now, and I should take care of my own in the future." Wei Ziwan sighed, still stretched out her hand, and took the money Stuff it into Bai Zhi's hand.

This person was obviously preoccupied with something, but he refused to say it, and it seemed to have something to do with her, and it seemed to have something to do with Zhou □, if he didn't make it clear, there would be problems in dealing with him in the future.

Bai Zhi glanced at the two guards behind him who did not change their expressions, lowered her voice, and coaxed in a low voice: "It's not meddling, you are my wife, so of course you can meddle in my affairs, and you should keep the money. "

Wei Ziwan stopped in her tracks: "You know that's not what I want to hear."

Bai Zhi looked away, and said in an erratic tone, "I just feel that you and Zhou get acquainted too quickly."

Seeing her dodging eyes, Wei Ziwan suddenly understood, and for a moment she didn't know whether to be happy or angry.

She silently put away the silver, stretched out her hand to hold Bai Zhi's arm and shook it gently.

Bai Zhi paused for a moment, then slowly relaxed again, not caring about the people following behind her at this moment, the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "I won't care about like this again in the future."

In fact, she also wanted to hear Wei Ziwan call her sister.

But she is 19 years old this year, and Wei Ziwan is 20 years old. If it is true, it seems that she should be called sister.

So Bai Zhi wisely didn't mention this.

Wei Ziwan smiled and said, "Sister Zhou is a woman."

Bai Zhi frowned, and after looking at her eyes, she leaned into Wei Ziwan's ear and whispered: "I'm just a woman disguised as a man now, did Wan Wan forget that I'm also a woman."

Wei Ziwan couldn't help but smile bitterly, what is going on here.
