Zou Guangda asked people to secretly check the 16 households in Fengxia Village, especially what the 16 households had done in the past two days. Even if the 16 households went to the city several times and what they bought, they all asked.
Clearly.
After the bandits were captured, the 16 households acted as if nothing had happened. Except for a day of rest the next day, they were busy going to the village to do work as usual.
Zou Guangdao: "In the past few days, they went to the city to buy a lot of things. I heard that they opened a shop in the village and made food with milk."
"The village is quite strange. We rented a few rooms to them. This has never happened before."
"There are almost no people in the village during the day. The old and young left early in the morning and came back at night. Furthermore, many of the immigrants from nearby villages went to Fengxia Village with wood.
Charcoal-burning."
Feng Antai frowned when he heard this. Zou Guangda rambled on and on and said a lot of useless things. What's so strange about this? Aren't the farmers just doing this?
Feng Antai asked: "What kind of contact do they have with the government office?"
Zou Guangdao: "I just went to the government office to do the paperwork, nothing else." Picking up the sixteen households and shaking them, that's all the news. In short, these people all seem to be in the eyes of money, and they just do it day by day.
Earn money by living. If you want to talk about making a fuss, it's not as good as the fuss made by Gao Lizheng and his family.
Regarding Gao Zhengshen's matter, the Gao family went to the government office all day long. Gao Lizheng sent his second son to run around every day to redress his grievances. He insisted that there was some secret behind Gao Zhengshen's death.
Zou Guangda secretly reminded Gao Lizheng not to make too much noise. He also redressed his injustice. Zhao Jingyun's eyes were probably fixed on the Gao family.
Bandits went to the West Village, but no one from the East Village showed up. How could Zhao Jingyun not be suspicious? If the Gao family has not been arrested, it cannot be said that they are secretly looking for evidence.
Let him see, the Gao family has lived a good life for a few days, and they are still jumping around now, because they think they died not fast enough.
Feng Antai lowered his eyes and said nothing. Maybe he really thought too much. Zhao Jingyun planned this matter secretly, and the sixteen households in Fengxia Village did not know the inside story at all.
The room became quiet, and Zou Guangda felt even more unsure. He was afraid that Feng Antai would dislike him for not doing things well. Just when he didn't know what to say, Feng Antai waved his hand: "Go ahead!"
Zou Guangda stood up immediately, and then asked cautiously: "Then, are people still watching Fengxia Village?"
"No need," Feng Antai said, "if there are too many informants, I'm afraid it will arouse Zhao Jingyun's suspicion." If the people in Fengxia Village are really fine, something will go wrong instead.
After Zou Guangda left, Feng Antai returned to the study and read the news from Beijing carefully over and over again.
The affairs in Taozhou were causing great commotion in the capital. The rewards given to the Feng family by the Empress Dowager were reduced. The second young lady of the family wanted to win over all the old officials of King Yu into the Feng family. She was afraid that something would happen to the Feng family, so she repeatedly warned him,
He couldn't afford to stumble in Taozhou.
Thinking of Miss Feng, Zou Guangda couldn't help but sigh again. Miss Feng had been smart since she was a child and had won the favor of the Queen Mother. Because of this, her temperament became more arrogant.
I originally thought that relying on the Feng family, the second young lady would be arrogant, but she was also smart and capable, and no one would want to marry her. Who would have expected that the second young lady would fall in love with Prince Yu.
The temperament of the King of Yu was also different from others. Even though the Queen Mother put pressure on him, he refused to give in. In the end, it led to the current situation. After the death of King Yu, there was a lot of opposition to the Feng family in the court and privately.
Fu Ye took the opportunity to suppress the Feng family, but there was no conclusive evidence, otherwise it would be difficult for the Feng family to escape.
The second young lady was able to successfully capture the old ministers of Prince Yu's Palace. Their efforts this time were not in vain. They failed to become the Princess of Yu's Palace, and they also captured the most important thing in Prince Yu's Palace. By then, who among the noble ladies of Daqi can compete with them?
Is she competing?
If not...this move is really not worth it.
Feng Antai murmured: "It seems that I have to stay in Taozhou for a while."
…
Fengxia Village West Village.
Mrs. Yang got a basin of hot water and asked her granddaughter to clean it. The granddaughter worked with her for two days and finally cleaned up the cheese-making room.
What did Old Mrs. Yang think and why was she so happy? She was thinking to herself, thank you for not being angry to death by the old beast, otherwise this situation would have happened?
Several large houses are placed there, not to mention how impressive they are.
Today they left all the milk in the village. There were fewer people to carry it back and forth, so everyone felt much more relaxed.
Zhao Luoyang lowered his head and saw his own shadow in the basin.
In his mind, Shi Jiu smiled. Zhao Luoyang's face was black and white, and those who didn't know thought she had ripped off a chicken coop.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Luoyang asked.
Shi Jiu said: "It's okay, it looks good, and..." He didn't pay attention for a moment and almost blurted out, it was still the same as before.
Zhao Luoyang washed his face and hands before thinking about the smell. Shi Jiu was laughing at her, right? Besides, he didn't seem to finish what he said next.
"What?" Zhao Luoyang said, "I didn't hear what you said clearly."
Shi Jiu said: "Just like the big tabby cats outside."
Zhao Luoyang decided not to speak to Shi Jiu for a quarter of an hour.
Luo Zhenniang is discussing with Widow Xie and Ge Shi.
Widow Xie said: "We can't collect too much leather. With our current manpower, I'm afraid we won't be able to finish it all."
Luo Zhenniang thought about it and didn't respond.
Ge knew what the second sister-in-law was thinking about. They didn't have enough manpower now, but what if they could find more people? All the emigrants from the nearby villages had come to visit in the past two days, and maybe they could pick a few good ones from them.
Luo Zhenniang said: "I want to select a few more people to help. They don't have to go to the village. They can just come to our village and let the three younger brothers and sisters watch them do the work. How much work do they do every day, how much money will they be given."
Widow Xie's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Okay! I have thought about asking people to help before, but I also thought that the village is not that easy to enter. Why did I forget that the furs can be brought back? Can't we just ask them to come to us?"
Luo Zhenniang nodded: "Tomorrow, let's go to a few nearby villages early in the morning and pick a few people to come over. There won't be many people at the beginning. After all, we don't know everyone's temperament. As time goes by, we will be able to get an idea.
"
She also wants to make fur coats so that she can interact with everyone more, but she doesn't know what will happen next.
Widow Xie also agreed. The three of them talked and drank hot water, feeling warm in their hearts.
Geshi couldn't help but said: "Tell me, why do I feel more energetic the more I do this work?" When days are good, there is hope and the heart becomes lively.
Mrs. Tao brought hot water over and felt happy when everyone mentioned her.
"Leave this matter to me, don't worry," Mrs. Tao said, "On weekdays I see you coming in and out, which makes me very anxious. Now I finally have something I can do."
Luo Zhenniang pulled Mr. Tao to sit down: "The most important thing is to take good care of yourself. Don't get tired. Just watch. Don't move the needle or thread, or you may hurt your eyes."
Tao responded.
A few people were chatting lively, and then they saw Mrs. Yang hurriedly entering the door, taking the snacks on the table and walking out.
Luo Zhenniang immediately said: "Mom, what are you going to do?"
"Sending glutinous rice cakes to Mr. Song," said Mrs. Yang, "and asked Mr. Song to write a few words for me."
When Old Mrs. Yang wanted to write the words "Yang's Cheese", she originally left this matter to Zhao Xueli, but Zhao Xueli wrote it more than a dozen times, and Mrs. Yang didn't even like it.
Zhao Xueli looked at his mother's back in the yard and couldn't help but sigh. His mother used to think his calligraphy was good, but recently she didn't know what happened. Every time she saw him writing, she always looked disgusted.
Is this because I saw something good?
Why does he feel that he is suddenly worthless? He cannot compare to his daughter externally, and he cannot compare to Mr. Song internally.
wrong……
Zhao Xueli almost slapped himself, what kind of "criminal" was Mr. Song?
