Chapter 8

The Li family's village is located in the southwest of the capital. When you come from the capital, you have to pass through a large mountain forest. Li Chu met someone here - the fourth son of King Jin, who is now on the Imperial Palace.

Because the King of Jin committed some mischief in his early years, he was demoted to the southwest by his father and ordered that he would not be allowed to approach the capital. Therefore, the King of Jin was set in the mountains and forests. To the north of the forests was a major area of ​​the capital, with many ears and ears. They did not dare to take risks, so they could only trouble Li Chu to come out to meet - it was just an excuse to pick up Madam Wang.

After talking for two hours at the grass pavilion in the mountain, it was almost noon. The group of people from the Jin Palace hurriedly left, leaving only Li Chu, sitting in the grass pavilion, looking at the plains and wilderness at the foot of the mountain, without saying a word for a long time—

When he was young, his brothers in the clan all said that Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang Shengming, but he loved Qin, Han and Wu. When his master asked him the reason, he said that the ancestor of the Li family was such a person. He was born as a descendant of the Li family, so he naturally had to disperse all the world's separatist and help the Central Plains unification, and then he could talk about the world's peace. So after learning that the Northern Expedition began, he wanted to squeeze into the Northern Expedition team, even if the family wrapped the shackles on him, he would not hesitate to do so. He wanted to succeed in the Northern Expedition too much, because once the Northern Expedition was successful, the Great Zhou would have a deeper depth in the north and south. No matter how the countries around him were surrounded, the Great Zhou would be invincible!

But at present, all forces in the capital are fighting for power and profit, pushing this great situation into the quagmire.

King Jin was one of the descendants of the Wang family who had a long-term vision, but was squeezed out from afar. The man on the imperial court became more and more loyal to power as he grew older and turned a blind eye to the battles below, which led to this catastrophe. If it weren't for the young and strong officers who were called back to the capital early, the crisis in the royal city would not have been so easy to eliminate.

When I was talking to King Jin just now, I could hear that the other party could not stand it anymore. It is understandable that after a year of old age, no one knows how long he can last. At that time, the kings will be a trivial matter. Once the three major families take action, the Great Zhou Kingdom will really be dispersed.

Although he came from Qinchuan and was divided into three major families, he was considering the country and the people. If these three disasters were not eliminated, it would be enough to prosper the country and establish the country!

Stepping on the soft and dry grass, I went down the mountain with my heart.

The carriage and horses of Li's house were still parked under the cedar tree on the side of the road. The little woman led two little girls to squat on the ridge of the field, chatting with a ragged peasant woman.

This was a strange little man. Almost at first glance, he could see some kind of strange fire in her eyes. From then on, he knew that the little man sent by the Wu family was not ordinary. As expected, in just half a year, she used her pity appearance and "gentle" nature to relax her vigilance, and asked her for a chance to meet her brother. He thought her next goal would be him. It happened that he was trapped in the capital before and after the New Year, and gave her the opportunity to contact her. He also followed the flow and let her get close to him infinitely. However, except for that medicine, she did not take any further action.

In fact, if she was so proud of him, he would not object. After all, she was a beauty and a legitimate woman. Some of the intimacy was nothing. However, once she did this, he knew that he would throw her to Qinchuan next, so that the rules there would completely erase the strange fire in her eyes. He had already wrapped enough chains on his body, and he didn't want to just put a Yuzhou Wu family in vain. Fortunately, she didn't do this, and she felt a little comfort in her heart. With this comfort, he carefully observed her, and she seemed to be trying to untied some of the shackles on her body.

"What's the matter?" He took the reins from Zhou Cheng's hand and signaled to Xiaoqi and the others.

"A few country tyrants just wanted to steal the peasant woman, but the wife couldn't stand it and asked the servants to help her." Zhou Cheng replied.

At this time, Xiaoqi discovered him and quickly brought Hongfu and Qinglian into the car.

The group continued to head towards Zhuangzi—

"Madam, what is a shop selling?" As we walked, we could vaguely hear the conversation in the car, which was Qinglian's voice.

"Maybe it's selling shops?" Xiaoqi didn't understand what the group of tyrants meant, but seeing the peasant woman crying and robbing the world, it shouldn't be a good thing. It might be a matter of showing off her socializing. Women in this era regard fame as more important than life. Serious people are definitely unwilling to do those things.

The people in the car were chatting unintentionally, but the people outside the car were shocked. Especially Zhou Cheng, he was the guard of this trip, and he actually made such foul words reach the wife's ears, which was simply a dereliction of duty.

Shop sales are a local dialect in prostitutes in the capital, or the one at the bottom. Xiaoqi and Qinglian, who are southerners, naturally cannot understand it.

Li Chu glanced at Zhou Cheng, and Zhou Cheng almost buried his head in his arms.

The master and servant in the carriage did not continue to spread salt to Zhou Cheng, mainly because Xiao Qi had something to think about.

I just heard the peasant woman say that since the chaos broke out in Beijing, many farms in front of and behind the mountain were sold - 80% of them were trying to cash out and run away.

She had no idea about those farms - she had no money, but she heard that there were some broken fields outside the farms, and they were sold sporadically, and the prices were very cheap. A mu of land ranged from ten to tens of dozens. She was moved, and she had no big money on her, but she still had a little bit of money. Yuan Ren was worried that she would not be able to take care of herself in the capital, so she kept some money before leaving, saying that she would give her body and let her save it carefully. If there is any future, it would be considered a support. If she could not resist him, Xiaoqi stayed. Her food, clothing, housing and transportation are now provided by Lizhai. In addition, there is a monthly monthly fee of two taels of silver every month. She would also pay some solar terms during the Chinese New Year and holidays. After calculation, a lot of money would be left at all. Instead of putting it in a box, it would be better to turn it into a fixed asset. Even if the price did not increase, it would be rented to others every year. The money would be called money.

I secretly decided in my heart that I must seize such a good opportunity and find a way to buy land when I look back.

After passing the mountains and forests, the area southwest was the Lijiazhuang area. Someone had been waiting at the intersection. The leader was Madam Wang's eldest grandson, named Wang Lun. She was about the same age as Xiaoqi, with dark skin and tall appearance. When she saw them from afar, she came over to lead the horse for Li Chu.

Li Chu was familiar with him, and the two of them immediately got off to chat very happily. They walked about the place to shoot and saw a dark house in the south from afar. This was the village of the Li family located in Gyeonggi.

He should have rarely come to the village. A bunch of people in the yard, like the New Year, came to pay tribute to him, but the girls Qinglian were so busy that they would send a red envelope if they came.

After all, Xiaoqi was not the mistress of the house. He only greeted a few officials in the village. Then he hurried to the backyard to look for Madam Wang. She still wanted to ask the old lady for help, so she naturally had to give her a diligent greeting and thank her for saying good things to him before she could see Yuan Ren.

It was already half afternoon after lunch, so I naturally couldn't go back to the capital now, so I had to stay in the village for the time being.

During dinner, Xiaoqi took the excuse of being tired on the road and asked the nanny for leave. She picked a few foods and took them back into the house. She did not go forward any further, and gave the gap to her family. The nanny and his family were their own family, and she was still an outsider. She was present for some things, so it was not convenient for them to talk about.

After dinner and washing up, Xiao Qiwo started to settle the score in front of the dressing table. In the afternoon, she carefully mentioned to the nanny about buying land. She thought she would think she was too troublesome, but she didn't expect that she would send someone to ask for her without asking. Maybe she was too happy. It was said that someone promised to go back to Yangcheng to bring Wang Lun with her.

Xiaoqi didn't have time to envy others for their success, so she had to calculate how many acres of land she had enough money to buy.

Forty-forty-six, 3618, 4832, six acres of mountain fields, four acres of dry land, a total of 146 taels. She only had ninety taels of money in her hand, plus eight taels of broken silver for needlework and six taels of money saved, a total of 104 taels, and there was still 42 taels of difference... It was a bit too bad. Alas, it seems that it is not easy to advance to the capital in any era.

Seeing her sitting in front of the dressing table, dazed at the bronze mirror, Li Chu did not go in and stood at the door of the inner room.

Sure enough, when she found him, she was so scared that she cried for a moment, but soon she returned to her calmness and changed into a smile on her face and stood up.

He suddenly became a little curious. If he had just entered, would she be scared to lose her vigor and would not be able to "recover" so quickly?

"It's so late, why are you here?" Just as I was thinking about it, I was shocked when I suddenly saw him.

"The dragon over there is broken. The nanny said it's good here and came over." Then he came into the inner room and bent down to sit on the bed.

"..." What does "..." mean? Are you planning to change rooms with her, or think... it shouldn't be true? He didn't seem to be interested in her. After being together for so long, he didn't even touch her finger, "I...I'll ask Qinglian to wash you." No, when she settled the score just now, she thought Qinglian was noisy, so she and Hongfu went to the front to help the nanny pack and salute, "I'd better prepare it myself."

"No, I just washed it in the yard." I admired the panic deep in her eyes expressionlessly.

Xiaoqi looked at the interest in his eyes with some shame. This person was bored and teasing her like a puppy, and had no desire for her at all.

"It's late, if you have nothing else, just take a break early." After saying that, he plunged his hands behind his head, leaned on the pillow, and waited for a while, and saw that she was still standing still, and said, "I have to live like this sooner or later. The kind of life you want is not here for me." A situation like Lu Liang, who pampers women so hard that they are gone, wouldn't happen to him. If it weren't for Wu Shaojun's own evil, maybe he could really live with her. Anyway, women are similar. As long as they don't act evil, he can accept it. This girl is pretty good, and there is nothing to blame in all aspects. Occasionally, she will think that some aspects of her are quite interesting.

If you like to pretend to be wise and foolish. I just heard the news about Qin Chuan brought by Old Man Wang in the front yard. I heard that he was not interested in this girl and was busy picking people from his room. The nanny took the opportunity to persuade him that instead of letting Qin Chuan's forces make trouble, it would be better for the Wu family to be able to control it. Besides, this girl is not stupid and acts properly. Thinking of the previous messy things of the Lu family, he felt that life was more simple than to make a bunch of women he didn't know came back and caused trouble, it would be better to let her stay. Thinking of this, he was still a little eager to try somewhere in his heart, so he came here openly, intending to drive his rights as a husband.

Women are sometimes quite contradictory. Even though Xiaoqi has been a woman for two lifetimes, she still has not understood her behavior. For example, when he said the above words, she should have two choices. One is to turn around and run away. However, she was thinking about the consequences of turning around and leaving, so the first choice was soon gone because the person was already carried to the bed. Then there was the second choice - obedience, but unfortunately she still failed to complete the task successfully, because at a critical moment she turned back and chose the first one - resisting. She swears that it was really not about to refuse but welcome, but... she was unwilling to do so.

Based on the above reasons, the first time between the two seemed a bit terrible. She suffered a lot and he was also very angry because she kicked him very hard, and a few kicks directly on his wound that had not healed. If she had begged him, she might have spared her. The more violent she was, the more aroused some of the domineering revenge in his nature. Then, she stopped making trouble and slid down there softly and wiped her tears. It was a bit pitiful. He unconsciously relaxed his strength, but found that this guy was using a trick of mourning soldiers with him. Once he relaxed, she was reborn again and wanted to touch him. The principle of not chasing the enemy would not work for her.

This bridal chamber was quite bloody. The first time Li Chu was bleeding from a woman, she was on the bed - the old wounds were broken, and he could imagine how frustrated he felt in his heart.

Compared to him, Xiaoqi was not much more than that. He had no feelings, no excitement, and was even less likely to be happy. He had nothing but soreness and bruises all over his body.

The two of them sat opposite each other with their eyebrows and eyes standing on the bed, one kneeling and the other cross-legged.

"It seems that the Wu family sent you here not to marry, but to kill me?" He touched the blood stains on his waist and abdomen.

"..." Xiaoqi also wiped the tears on her cheeks as if she was angry. She was in a bad mood now and her whole body was sore. She didn't want to talk to him.

The two looked at each other for a while, and his patience might have been exhausted. They waved their hands at her, "Go and bring the ointment." They have to go north in two days. How can they go out of the border with this injury? General Gao was right, women are really a disaster.

Xiao Qi couldn't calm down for a moment and ignored his words.

"If I ask an outsider to take medicine, I know what your crime is?" A family rule is definitely unavoidable.

Xiaoqi still looked at him without saying a word.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and Xiaoqi finally regained some reason. He had to bow his head under the roof.

He got up and went to the cabinet to find ointment. He opened the bottle and applied medicine to him while wiping his tears from time to time. His stubborn self-esteem made her despise her tears, and she couldn't control herself and wanted to vent her tears by crying.

Looking at her appearance, Li Chu felt that she was right and became ignorant. Although her attitude was repeated before and after, which made him confused, he still took advantage of it. "If you don't want to do it in the future, you will say it is ahead." To the point where you have to fight, it is unrealistic to let him show mercy. Don't say that the rejection method she chose also contained such strong provocation.

Xiaoqi didn't respond, but just helped him apply ointment, and applied a bottle of ointment before looking up. His eyes were filled with tears, and his eyes looked particularly bright in the lights, reflecting the pink pocket on his body. He looked very charming in his eyes. He found that his chest was dry, so he quickly turned his eyes away.

"You go to bed early, I'll go back to sleep." He put his clothes on and went out.

This unique wedding candle ended in such a normal and special way-

Because of the unhappiness of the night, Xiaoqi thought he would not provoke her again, but later she realized that she was thinking too simple.
