Sturdy Countryside: Lord, Please Blow The Lamp

Seeing Xia Beibei's bleary-eyed appearance, she didn't know how jealous she was. She got up early and secretly in order to embroider a few more stitches, but Xia Beibei could sleep until the sun was up.

Obviously Xia Beibei is just a jerk, and she doesn't even know who her parents are, yet they live a better life than her. She wished she could snatch everything Xia Beibei had at the moment.

That's right. Before Xia Ziyin finished speaking, Xia Beibei interrupted her with a clear face, Then you go, Uncle Niu's ox cart should not have left yet, do you have any copper coins on you? ?”

How can Xia Beibei not know what Xia Ziyin is planning in her heart? It is not impossible, but these days, how busy the family is, she knows very well, even if Shi Qiu and the others are free, they should take care of themselves Rest instead of sending Xia Ziyin to town.

There is an ox cart in the village, Xia Ziyin should go by herself, if she has no copper coins, she can pay, but Shiqiu and the others will definitely not send her to the town.

Uh. Xia Ziyin choked on her words and gritted his teeth.

Where did she say she wanted to ride in Uncle Niu's ox cart? Don't you have a carriage at home? Can Wu Shiqiu or Wu Shiqing send her there?

However, Xia Beibei had already said that, if she said anything more, it would look too petty, so she could only suppress the anger in her heart secretly.

Yes, my elder brother gave me some last time. She whispered.

Then you go to the town, be careful, go early and come back early. Xia Beibei told her, and then crossed with her and went to the kitchen.

There is no banquet yet, so they still live in the old house. After eating, they have to go to the new house to get busy.

Xia Ziyin took a deep breath, lowered her head, and went back to Sang Jinghong's room, picked up a bag of embroidered handkerchiefs wrapped in cloth, and went out of the yard.

Shiqiu, this little girl, you still want us to drive her in a carriage. After Xia Ziyin left, Wu Shiqing came out of the kitchen.

She didn't even think about it, what was she doing when they were so busy that they couldn't find their way, and she even thought about asking them to drive her to the town in a carriage, which was really beautiful.

Just ignore it. Wu Shiqiu replied flatly.

She also didn't expect that this girl, it's fine if she doesn't do anything by herself, but she still wants to borrow Jiuniang's hand to order them around, which is a good enough plan.

Jiu Niu finally had a late sleep, and she woke her up. Wu Shiqing pouted.

She can ignore everything, but if she woke up Miss Jiu, can she ignore it? They have a deep understanding of how busy and tired they are these days.

They are people who practice martial arts, so they are not afraid of this little hardship, but how can the nine girls bear it.

Is breakfast ready? I have to go to the new house later. Wu Shiqiu asked.

It's already ready.

...

Knowing that Xia Beibei's family was moving to a new house and would treat guests, many people who would not have a word with Sang Jinghong all year round came to help.

Naturally, just to have a good meal.

However, this completely pissed off Xia Guchun, who was already sulking.

Xia Jiuniang, Xia Jiuniang, in the entire Xiajia Village, Xia Jiuniang is the one who talks the most. In everyone's eyes, there is no village head like him.

For such a big matter as building a house, he went to the county to complete the deed without notifying the village chief. Don't you know that these things need to be discussed with the village chief?

With the support of the son of the world, is it amazing?

Father, what are you thinking, let's eat quickly. Xia Ziqi looked at the vegetables and meat on the table, and wanted to put them in her mouth quickly.

But, father doesn't move chopsticks, how dare she go as a daughter, for fear of being scolded by father, now father feels very aggrieved.

It's all because of that Xia Jiuniang, who fights against her father every day. She is obviously a shameless girl who seduces the elders, but when the people in the village see that her family has built such a good house, they all say that she is good.

Did they think that Xia Jiuniang's money fell from the sky? It's obviously dirty money for seducing a man.

Where's your mother? Xia Guchun glanced at the table, there were only two bowls of rice, and he became even angrier.

Ever since Xia Ziyin was sold to Xia Beibei, that dead woman didn't give herself a good face, and dared to sleep in a separate room with him, even eating separately.

Is this a plan to separate from him?

Hmph, she didn't even think about it, but she wanted to marry him at the beginning, but now she regrets it, it's too late.

Mum, she went to the town, dad, didn't you know, mother went to sell embroidery. Xia Ziqi replied.

It's just that when mother sold the embroidery before, all the money was given to father, but now, father is a copper plate, so don't even think about getting it from mother.

What embroidery does she sell? Xia Guchun angrily knocked on the table.

In the past, he pointed out that Lu Shixiang sold embroidery products to support his family, but now, he couldn't see the money at all, so he naturally didn't want her to sell any embroidery products anymore.

It would be better if Lu Shixiang didn't have a single copper coin, so he would have to come and beg him.

How did you come back outside, so lively?

Outside? Xia Ziqi glanced outside, only hearing voices, but seeing no one.

However, even if she couldn't see anyone, she could guess a thing or two, I guess, she went to help Xia Jiuniang's house, you don't know, I heard that Xia Jiuniang bought two pigs when she moved to a new house, and A lot of chicken, duck and fish are used for banquets, and now, many people in the village are eager to go to her house.

It's both fish and meat, and you can't eat a few meals all year round, so you have to curry favor with others.

If it hadn't been for the enmity with Xia Jiuniang, she would have wanted to go there and have a meal. It was a lot of meat. Since her eldest brother left, she had never tasted the taste of meat. Even the time of meat was only today. smell.

Father, let's ignore them, let's eat first. Hurry up and let her have a bite of the meat, she is dying of anxiety.

However, after hearing Xia Ziqi's words, Xia Guchun slapped the chopsticks on the table.

Xia Jiuniang, it's Xia Jiuniang again, how can she coax all the people in Xia's village to face her? Isn't it just a banquet, what delicious food can there be.

Ziqi, do you know what Xia Jiuniang's family bought? he asked.

I heard from the villagers that Xia Jiuniang buys a lot of things. When it comes to food, Xia Ziqi gets excited.

I bought two pigs, a sheep, and a lot of chickens and ducks, and then there were fish, shrimp, and... Anyway, Xia Jiuniang's family bought all they could buy in the town.

At this moment, she didn't know how much she envied Xia Ziyin. She wished that she was the one who was betrayed, not Xia Ziyin.

Where did she get that much money? Xia Guchun frowned.

Even if Dongfang Yu fell in love with her, the family's grandson has already left, so can she still give Xia Jiuniang a lot of money?

Father, don't you know? I heard from the aunts in the village that Xia Jiuniang can make something called concentric knots and silk flowers, and sell them in the town. The business is very good, and the price is very expensive. I heard that , She earned hundreds of taels of silver in just a few days. Xia Ziqi said.

The story of Xia Jiuniang's ability to make up sympathetic knots has already spread in the village, but her father doesn't know yet.

What? Xia Guchun was shocked.

So, that Xia Jiuniang is still a sweet potato? It is impossible to earn hundreds of taels of silver in a few days, but if you can earn hundreds of taels of silver in a year, you are still a rich family.

But he heard that even the county magistrate does not have a salary of several hundred taels of silver.

What you said is true?

Really, everyone in the village knows about it. Xia Ziqi nodded.

Xia Guchun gritted his teeth, his heart was about to be suffocated, Xia Jiuniang, who he despised at the beginning, turned out to be so capable.

When he found food in the deep mountains, he thought that Xia Jiuniang was forced to go up the mountain because of starvation. It was just a coincidence that he saved Dongfang Yu. He always thought that Xia Beibei had no great skills at all.

But now... She can earn hundreds of taels of silver all of a sudden?

Xia Ziqi carefully looked at her father, seeing the calculating light in his eyes, and knew that he was thinking of some bad idea again.

Father, what are you thinking? she asked softly.

Ziqi, your elder brother is going to marry Xia Jiuniang, will it help his career? Xia Guchun asked her daughter, also asking herself.

Having been the village chief for so many years, he still doesn't know how much money it takes to become a high-ranking official and climb up the ladder, and his son Xia Guchun must become a clean official.

In this case, you have to have a daughter-in-law who can make money for your son.

In the past, he thought that as long as Muzi became an official and married a merchant's daughter, it would be helpful to him, but now...

He suddenly felt that Xia Jiuniang is also capable and good-looking. If she can marry into the family, even if his son finds a better girl in the future, he can just demote her as a concubine.

What? Xia Ziqi looked at Xia Guchun in astonishment.

What is dad thinking, that Xia Jiuniang is the girl Dongfang Shizi likes, her eldest brother, can she compete with Shizi for a woman?

Father, this is not...

Just do it like this, after dinner, Dad will go to the town to buy some things, and go to Sang Jinghong's house to propose marriage. Before Xia Ziqi could say anything, Xia Guchun slapped the table and said.

At this moment, how could he remember that there was Dongfang Yu behind Xia Beibei, and he only felt that Xia Beibei was helpful to his son's career.

Father, you... Xia Ziqi was frightened by her father, why did she think that it was only a matter of time.

However, that woman Xia Jiuniang might really be willing as long as her father came to propose marriage. In the past, Xia Jiuniang and her elder brother were considered golden boys and girls in Xiajia Village.

Moreover, Xia Jiuniang is also capable. If she can come to her house, she will learn Xia Jiuniang's skills in the future, and when she gets married, she will not be bullied by her mother-in-law.

Let Dad try it, maybe it will be successful.
