Sixteen families come to work in the village for more than a day or two, and everyone has long been familiar with them.
Now even if there is no work for the weavers, the women in the village will gather there. When they have a break, Luo Zhenniang and others will talk to the people in the village about their hometown, and the people in the village will also talk about them.
The past in Xifan.
Everyone gets along well on weekdays, but now that Fengxia Village is encountering bandits, they can't help but worry about the village. If Cha Shuo hadn't heard that the villagers were fine, they might have gone to Fengxia Village to have a look.
As soon as Mrs. Yang and Luo Zhenniang showed up, they were surrounded by the female relatives of the village. Zhao Luoyang went to Bai's house and carefully told Bai, Mrs. Bai and others what happened that night.
Bai said: "There are several groups of bandits in Taozhou. Three years ago they came to attack the village. The village followed the government office and cleaned up a bandit nest. Later I heard that the remaining people got together again. The leader
It seems to be called Wang Hu."
Zhao Luoyang nodded: "My father and the others went to the government office yesterday and heard the government official say that the bandit leader they captured was Wang Hu."
Bai Shi knew it well: "Why are you being targeted?"
Zhao Luoyang said: "Those people said, seeing that we had donkey carts, sold charcoal, and worked in the village, 80% of us had money in our hands, so they became malicious."
"But we all feel that this matter may not be that simple."
Mrs. Bai looked at Zhao Luoyang: "What do you know?"
Zhao Luoyang said: "Actually, the government office deployed personnel outside the village. When they saw the bandits coming, they reported to us in advance."
Bai Shi looked a little surprised.
In fact, Cha Shuo came back yesterday and said that there was no damage to the Sixteen Households. Bai and Mrs. Bai had suspicions yesterday. There must be some inside story, otherwise it would be difficult to successfully capture the bandits with the Sixteen Households.
They didn't expect Zhao Luoyang to say it so bluntly.
Obviously he didn't guard against them.
Zhao Luoyang continued: "I don't know the inside story, but Mr. Zhao should have heard some news from somewhere. Yesterday, my father said that the government office is guarding not only our village, but also Sunjia Village and Wangjia Village.
…”
Mrs. Bai nodded. It seemed that Zhao Jingyun had some abilities. Not long after arriving in Taozhou, he not only captured Sun Ji, but also found out some of the real situation in Taozhou. Otherwise, he would not have made preparations in advance.
Maybe... Mrs. Bai thought about it, at the critical moment, is Zhao Jingyun really worthy of his use?
Shi Jiu said: "Zhao Jingyun should give you a big gift." He said good things for Zhao Jingyun without saying a word.
Zhao Luoyang said: "Master Zhao's salary is not much, so just give me some charm points."
Shi Jiu couldn't help but laugh: "When I get the chance, I will definitely come with him."
The two of them said a few words, and Zhao Luoyang said: "We are just farmers after all. The princess will not talk to us about big things, and we can't help the princess. But the little mute is different. Let the princess pay attention to Zhao Jingyun first. Maybe in the future, there will be a little mute."
The day the mute showed up."
If she mentions Prince Yu's Mansion now, the princess will not only not acknowledge her identity, but will also become defensive.
So this needs to be done slowly.
Some words just need to be stopped.
Zhao Luoyang changed the subject and said, "It's the New Year's Day right now. I wonder if there are any plans in the village?"
Bai Shi smiled and said, "What do you have in mind?"
Zhao Luoyang said: "I see that everyone still has a lot of useless furs on hand. Do you want to make some fur coats and sell them at the market?"
This Bai family and Mrs. Bai never thought that they had given the skins directly to the merchants before.
Zhao Luoyang said: "I think there are some people in the village. If you can agree, let my mother and the others pick some people and we can all do it together."
How could Bai not agree to such a trivial matter?
Bai Shi said: "You go and make arrangements. If anyone is willing to sell it, just sell it to the city and exchange it for something for the New Year."
Shi Jiu smiled again. Zhao Luoyang was talking about fur coats. In fact, the village could sell more than these. In just two words, he took over the Liu family's work.
Zhao Luoyang didn't hide it either. As soon as Bai agreed, she laughed happily with her dimples out.
Bai said: "What a smart girl. She knows how to make money at a young age. I don't know who will be so lucky to marry you back home in the future."
An ordinary female family member would blush when hearing this. Even Shi Jiu felt moved when she heard it.
However, Zhao Luoyang obviously did not focus on the second half of the sentence.
All she thinks about is how to make money.
Zhao Luoyang said: "You can't make much, as long as you can save enough to buy dung."
Ms. Bai was startled again. When she mentioned her future marriage to a girl from the Zhao family, she said it was rubbish. This child was really interesting. No wonder Cha Shuo's eyes lit up when he mentioned Zhao Luoyang.
But with the Zhao family's girl like this, I'm afraid Cha Shuo will have a fantasy.
Bai said: "It's just some dung, it will be enough. If it's not enough, just tell me and I will give it to you on credit."
Zhao Luoyang was happy: "With the patriarch's words, I feel relieved."
Bai Shi also laughed and said, "I will never go back on my promise to you."
Zhao Luoyang accompanied Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai and said a few words before standing up and following Bai Yuwei and Bai Yuying out.
After the others also left, Mrs. Bai said to Mrs. Bai, "It's too early to say this."
Bai was surprised: "You mean dung?"
Mrs. Bai nodded: "If I ask for more from you, will you also give it to her on credit?"
"How much can the relocation of sixteen households cost?" Mrs. Bai picked up the tea and took a sip, "She can't just borrow the soil and sell it to others at a higher price. I don't think the Zhao girl can do such a thing."
Mrs. Bai said: "What if she really uses it?"
Mrs. Bai looked at Granny Bai: "Aren't you joking with me?"
"No kidding," Mrs. Bai said, "I also made a guess. You have to be prepared in your mind. Just don't be too surprised when the time comes."
Ms. Bai still felt that Mrs. Bai was thinking too much, and this matter...should be impossible.
…
Zhao Luoyang walked all the way to the weaving house. She had to tell her mother the news. Since the clan leader agreed, she started to do it immediately. The New Year is here, who doesn't want to buy new shoes and clothes?
In fact, it is not difficult to make a leather jacket. Mainly, there are many good women in the sixteen households. They can do the fine work. Just find some hands in the village to do some odd jobs.
Zhao Luoyang told Luo Zhenniang and Widow Xie the news, and the two of them laughed at the time. Is there any way to make money during the Chinese New Year? They immediately made arrangements.
After saying this, Zhao Luoyang was ready to go find her grandma. Her grandma was very busy these days, wandering around the rented house all day long, buying everything new, and focusing on opening Yang's cheese.
Since she was so busy that she was hitting the back of her head with her feet, Zhao Luoyang did not ask for any work for them.
"Do you want to tell your mother what Bai said?"
Shi Jiu suddenly spoke in his mind.
Zhao Luoyang thought for a while: "Are you talking about dung?"
Shi Jiu was quiet for a moment and responded. Bai was obviously trying to find out what Zhao Luoyang was saying. If he was thinking correctly, he was making plans for Cha Shuo. Even if it wasn't Zha Shuo, he would have left Zhao Luoyang in the village.
thoughts.
Zhao Luoyang, such a smart person, was blinded by dung.
That's fine, so that he doesn't have to worry too.
Shi Jiu wanted to understand this. When he saw Cha Shuo on the road, he suddenly felt that Cha Shuo was not so annoying.
A person who is no better than dung really has nothing to guard against.
"Don't be in a hurry," Zhao Luoyang said, "First make the money for the New Year, and then we'll do it slowly."
After noon, Zhao Xueli and the others heard that the women were preparing to make fur coats. A group of men stood in front of the weaving room, looking at the piles of furs with envy in their eyes.
Niu Daochang grabbed Zhao Xueyi and said, "We have to make looms quickly, so as not to miss the Chinese New Year." Each of them is a fool, but he can't earn as much as others. How can he still have a table to eat during the Chinese New Year?
It's different when you make a loom. For the sake of the loom, you have to prepare a pair of dishes and chopsticks for them.
Zhao Xueyi said: "Hurry, sir, the painting is about to be finished."
"Let's go to your husband's room to urge you tonight," Niu Daochang said. "It's not easy for us either. Whether we can argue or not depends on your husband."
