Chapter 288: Taking advantage of circumstances to establish authority
Today was an eventful day. The brother and sister started a small stove and just came down the mountain. When they reached the foot of the mountain, they ran into a large group of villagers.
The villagers greeted Qi Baoer one after another, and then hurried past her. Every one of them was either anxious or angry, and some looked like they were gossiping.
This kind of thing happened rarely when meeting Qi Bao'er but not surrounding her, which was unusual and made both brother and sister a little surprised.
Daliang saw a familiar person behind the team and quickly went over and pulled the person aside, "What happened?"
Qi Fudong: "Let's go to Xiaohe Village to ask for people."
"If you want someone, who do you want?"
Qi Fudong slapped his thigh, "Oh, just in the morning, Erxi's wife tricked Eleven Ni out of the village. She had made an appointment with the old man from Xiaohe Village waiting outside the village.
Erxi went home for lunch and found that Eleven Ni was missing. After questioning his wife, he found out that she had been taken away. Erxi quickly went to find Li Zheng, who asked us to go to Xiaohe Village to ask for her."
Daliang: "...Huh?"
What's going on?
Qi Fudong saw that the people in front of him had already walked far away, so he was so anxious that he pulled Da Lang along with him.
"Er Xi said that he did not agree with Eleven Ni marrying in Xiaohe Village, not to mention that she is an old man who is older than him. Besides, Eleven Ni is only ten years old, so it is too early to get married."
Dali broke away from Qi Fudong's hand and followed his sister in his arms, "So, Erxi's wife did this on her own without Erxi's consent?"
Qi Fudong turned his head and stared at his cute big eyes, which were still blinking with a gossipy light.
However, he was not impressed by the cuteness at all at this moment. Instead, he was so frightened that he almost left his body. He pushed Dali back towards the village.
"Take Aunt Bao back quickly. Li Zheng specifically told you not to let Aunt Bao see such dirty things."
Li Zheng's original words were: Everyone should keep their voices down when leaving the village, so as not to surprise Aunt Bao.
So when everyone saw Qi Bao'er just now, they all just called and ran away. As for Qi Fudong, he was walking at the back of the team. Due to the angle, he didn't even see Qi Bao'er and was carried aside by Daliang.
Now clearly shocked, Qi Fudong just hoped that Qi Bao'er would not be allowed to see those dirty things again.
Da Lang thought the same thing, his sister's eyes were stained when she saw this mess.
He immediately lost interest and hurried home with Qi Bao'er in his arms.
There is no shortage of food at home, and the location is remote, which allows Ye Sanni to free up her fists.
When the daughter is not at home, the family can do whatever they want. Now that the daughter is back, Ye Sanni is not good at expressing herself. The accumulated longing for her daughter after two months of separation has turned into the motivation to feed her daughter.
The fire in the stove is not extinguished every day. Apart from the main meal, she is making all kinds of pastries in various ways at other times. Whenever Qi Bao'er goes out, the small satchel on her body is always bulging.
"Mom, what are you cooking again? It's so fragrant." The rich smell of steamed rice.
Ye Sanni lowered her head and was busy with the work in her hands and replied without looking up: "Make some rice balls. Your Kaishan Master asked us to borrow some rice to make some rice balls for everyone. My mother thought that she was at home anyway, so she simply made them and gave them away.
past."
Qiu Yu was also helping Ye Sanni with her work, with a peaceful and contented smile on her face.
Originally, they thought they would suffer when they arrived at Qijia Village.
Their impression of the countryside is that the people are vulgar and the environment is poor. They are still afraid of the poor environment because they are afraid that the county owner's family will not be able to serve well.
I never thought that the county lord's family members were all very nice, really nice. He didn't treat them like servants at all, but more like family members.
This feeling is unfamiliar to Xiao Ye and Qiu Yu, who were sold into the palace before they were sensible, but it is very comfortable and feels comfortable from the bottom of their hearts.
Da Lang put Qi Bao'er down and went to get water, "Mom, are you doing it for those people who go to Xiaolin Village?"
"Well, the villagers are helping us, and we have to give them enough food to eat. Your founder said this is a matter of making money for our village, so the rice is from the village."
Both Daliang and Qi Baoer immediately understood the meaning of Qi Kaishan. This was to take advantage of Erxi's family and establish prestige for Qi's village.
Mr. Kaishan is worthy of being a man who retired from the battlefield and has a bloody spirit.
Qi Bao'er stretched out her paws to wash for her elder brother, and spoke to her mother while tilting her neck: "But mother, it doesn't seem to make sense for Er Xi's daughter-in-law to do this, right?"
She took the money.
Ye Sanni understood what Qi Baoer meant and thought she was asking about someone important, so she explained:
“When parents order a matchmaker, both parents agree, and then the matchmaker protects the matchmaker and exchanges the marriage certificate. This is a serious marriage.
For example, Erxi's daughter-in-law sends someone away after receiving money. If it is not particular, it can be regarded as a marriage, but if it is really particular, it is selling.
Erxi's father has not agreed, and he has not changed his posthumous title, so Erxi can deny it. If he is really in Xiaolin Village, we can not only come to him and demand him, but also beat him up."
Daliang also nodded and said: "Sister, you have to pay a lot of attention to getting married, and it doesn't count if you only give money."
Even if you want to buy a slave, you need a deed of sale. What’s the point of taking the person away after giving him the money?
Qi Baoer nodded to show that he understood and did not argue any further.
Because there is no point in asking, her mother has never thought about it at all.
However, the people in Qijia Village are really good. At least most of them are very nice, very united and bloody, they don’t cause trouble but we are not afraid of it either.
Of course, it is important to have a leader who does not cause trouble but is not afraid of trouble either.
It's very suitable to be the founder of the mountain.
But this matter has nothing to do with Lao Qi's family. Qi Bao'er just ignored it and ignored it. She didn't want to get involved. She was still a baby.
Eating, drinking and wandering around the village, she was busy during the day. At night, she usually slept very soundly.
Qi Baoer seems to be losing his intelligence due to his age and height, and he is not active in cultivation, or even not at all, at least in the eyes of outsiders.
Every day, I act like a real four- or five-year-old milk baby, either playing here or there, and occasionally being pressed down by Little Coconut to write for a while in the name of the emperor.
-
When the clouds rose in the middle of the night, a sudden burst of crying broke the tranquility of the night.
Qi Kang'an and Qi Bao'er, father and daughter, sat up almost at the same time. Both of them had their eyes half-opened, their faces were confused, and they were looking awake.
Qi Kang'an instinctively hugged his daughter into his arms, patted her back, yawned and coaxed her: "Daddy is here, daddy is here, our baby is not afraid, not afraid."
The familiar embrace and familiar breath somewhat calmed Qi Bao'er's irritable breath after being woken up. He had already clenched his little fist to swing out, and slowly loosened it with Qi Kangan's voice.
The door creaked open a small crack, and Qiu Yu poked her head in.
Qi Kang'an was already awake. When he heard the sound and looked around, he naturally recognized Qiu Yu. This was the servant his daughter brought back to the emperor for reward.
He shook his head slightly to show that he was fine, and asked silently: 'What happened outside?'
Qiu Yu directly transmitted the message in secret: "It's Er Xi's wife. She's crying and saying that Er Xi wants to kill her. She's been hit on the mute point by Little Coconut."
Praying for Kang'an: "???"
How did this matter come to his house?
But here she is, she's still pregnant, in the middle of the night, her acupoints were tapped by Little Coconut,,,oh, it's all the same.
‘Go and call the old lady.’ It’s better to let my mother take charge.
