As an unmarried young lady, she has certain ideological baggage and does not want to become that kind of shrew. Naturally, she keeps it quiet most of the time. At this moment, Yang Juan is very angry, but she has to suppress her anger.
Also because this is the elder sister-in-law, after the death of her parents, the sister-in-law will be her guardian even if she is not married, so she naturally has to have some respect for the elder sister-in-law, but what she did makes Yang Juan unable to respect her.
"Sister-in-law!" Yang Juan stood up immediately, but she had been kneeling there for a while, and her legs were numb when she suddenly stood up, but she still tried to stand up straight and blocked Ling Xiao, "Fu Niang and I have a relationship.
By the way, please ask sister-in-law to go out."
Her eyes were on fire at this moment. She was just bullying her step sister because she didn't have an elderly person at home, so she came up with this bad idea. She would never let her step sister do that.
"Auntie, why are you doing this? If no one has sent the food." After saying this, Yang Juan pushed the sister-in-law directly out of her room. The sister-in-law still didn't give up and continued: "He will be punished when he arrives."
Yang Juan was so angry that she didn't know what the other party was thinking. She had to ask her sister-in-law to escort the food. She had already said no, but since her sister-in-law knew that her sister-in-law was coming, she didn't stop and sent her outside.
Others talked and ran back.
Ling Xiao naturally saw that the aunt and sister-in-law had many problems, so he glanced at Yang Juan and said, "We have been friends for many years. Is there anything we can't talk about? And it's obvious that my brother is involved."
After hearing Ling Xiao's words, Yang Juan suddenly felt physically and mentally exhausted. She immediately covered her eyes, tears falling from the gaps in her hands.
"I'm sorry!" She said with a very sad tone, "I don't know what happened. Someone said that you are good at skills and wanted to ask you to do something. But I think you are a woman and should not be responsible for this.
"
"What's going on? I just heard that my sister-in-law wants me to be a guard and escort food?" Ling Xiao finally asked.
Yang Juan was stunned for a moment and then nodded with some difficulty. She didn't want Ling Xiao to go. It was already miserable enough that her adopted sister was physically disabled. How could she be allowed to lead a group of men to escort the food?
But now there is no one who can deliver food. During this period, the rebel army's food has been robbed several times. As a result, the army is now somewhat short of food and has to issue military orders.
She hesitated for a while, but finally decided that she wanted to protect the reputation of her adopted sister, so she would not be willing to listen to her sister-in-law's suggestion to let her adopted sister escort the food.
But she failed to take all precautions. If she had known it earlier, she would not let her sister-in-law know that her adopted sister was coming. However, she also knew that she was just thinking about it these days. After her sister-in-law got married, she would be the mistress of the Yang family's main house.
Thinking clearly, she said: "Yes, during this period, my brother went to Tiancheng Army to work hard for the Yang family. However, during this period, there were always people robbing the military rations sent there. This time it was the Yang family's turn to send the food.
, there are escorts, but no leaders.”
Ling Xiao understood immediately after hearing this, "Sister-in-law, you want me to help escort you there? Only in this way will your brother be safe. And you think this is not good and will damage your reputation?"
After hearing this, Yang Juan nodded, feeling a little embarrassed. Her eyes were still a little red. This was supposed to be a matter of the Yang family and had little to do with Ling Xiao. Even though she was a sworn sister, she was not listed in the family tree. In fact,
Ling Xiao should not be left busy.
"You must know that my brother has taken away many people who can fight. Most of the people left behind now are people with average skills or older people. If the leader takes responsibility, it will be very tiring and may not be able to work hard.
good."
She felt very uncomfortable when she said this, because she felt sorry for Ling Xiao. Even if she was leading someone, she still had to see how her subordinates were doing. How could she lead a group of crooked people?
Ling Xiao understood. On the one hand, Yang Juan was worried about her reputation as a woman taking a group of grown men out. On the other hand, she also felt that if a king had to bring a group of bronzes, he might not be able to lead them, and the king would become bronze.
"Supposedly, the Yang family is quite large, right? There won't be just some old, weak, sick and disabled people left, right?" Ling Xiao asked him curiously. She remembered that there were still strong men like that in this family.
"Although the Yang family is big, everyone in the family has their own plans. The big family has no right to extract their people, and some people must be left in the family, otherwise they will be..."
Ling Xiao understands that he will be recognized as the home, which means that part of the combat power must be left to protect the Yang family's home. No wonder the sister-in-law is anxious and comes directly here. "How does the sister-in-law know about my skills?"
"Brother once told me that you were more capable than him. Unexpectedly, my sister-in-law happened to hear it, so she thought of you after I couldn't find anyone to escort me this time."
Naturally, Ling Xiao didn't know that Yang Dalang also said something, "It's a pity that the adopted sister is a woman, otherwise she would definitely have made great achievements." After hearing this, Yu was unhappy because she felt that her husband cared more about the cheap adopted sister.
If Ling Xiao hadn't rarely come to the Yang family because of his filial piety, Yu Shi might have had an attack earlier, but he still remembered the relevant information and used it just in time.
This was also the reason why Yang Juan was against her elder sister-in-law. She could sense the viciousness in her elder sister-in-law's words, and she wanted to isolate the two of them for the time being, but she didn't expect that her elder sister-in-law would not give up at all, and directly came back to expose the matter to Ling Xiao.
This is very difficult to handle. If Ling Xiao doesn't care about life or death, won't she be said to have no heart at all? The Yang family is using her as a sworn sister, and she won't be willing to help when the Yang family really needs her to help.
Ling Xiao thought for a moment and nodded, but she still felt a little funny. She never thought of going to escort the food. Alas! If she didn't go and Yang Dalang had problems, her life would also be affected.
If this is the case, it is better to accept the mission. She thought clearly and nodded and said, "Yes! I will accept this mission, but there is a question. When will we set off?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Juan shook her head, looked at Ling Xiao and said, "Really? Mother Fu, please think about it again! If you continue like this, your reputation will be in question. A woman's reputation is very important."
Ling Xiao said lazily: "Sister! If I don't go, I won't have a good reputation. I'm afraid my sister-in-law has already thought about how to get me to agree."
"...It's really like this, hey! This sister-in-law!" Yang Juan said, she knew very well what the sister-in-law was afraid of. As a step-mother without children, life would be very difficult if her husband died.
.
Regarding this, Yang Juan felt that her sister-in-law's idea was right, but she felt sorry for her adopted sister. In addition, as a daughter of a noble family, she naturally knew that only if her brother was good could she be good.
As for her brother's son, she is her nephew, and he is also her relative. Not to mention that the nephew is still young and cannot provide protection at all. Even if he grows up, he will be another level behind her, so the brother is still very important.
She naturally hopes that her brother will live well, and if Ling Xiao makes a trip this time, it will increase the possibility of the food arriving. It will be troublesome if Ling Xiao doesn't go.
After thinking clearly, she looked at Ling Xiao with some apology, but Ling Xiao didn't care. At least Yang Juan was not as ruthless as her sister-in-law, so she still thought about it for her.
So she then asked: "When will we leave? But I have to go back to see how things are going at the farm and make it clear to Huanlang. I can't leave right away."
"The day after tomorrow!" Yang Juan said, "By the way, I'm going to find someone to ask about the situation now. I'll talk about it after I ask clearly. You can rest here first."
Ling Xiao nodded after hearing this, and Yang Juan stood up to ask about the situation. Ling Xiao looked at the wooden slips with a laziness, and at the same time thought about how things got to this point. Alas! It seems that he can only work hard, and he will be rewarded in the future.
Just give it to Huanlang.
Fortunately, she had thought about how to live in this world before. So she knew that it would be impossible without force, and she had not relaxed and exercised her body in these years.
Now she was thinking about what if she didn't help the Yang family deliver food, what if Yang Dalang got into trouble? Then there would be crazy revenge from the Yang family, which is why she agreed to escort the food.
You can't just do nothing because of the relationship with the original owner. When you accept the protection of the Yang family, you have to repay one or two things. Now is an opportunity, and food and grass are indeed very important. Without food and grass, it is impossible to win.
Only then did she agree, and the sister-in-law really didn't like her. Forget it, she was someone else's wife, so she just wouldn't have any contact with her in the future.
After Yang Juan asked about the situation, she came to find Ling Xiao and found her sitting there, looking a little careless, but indescribably beautiful, so Yang Juan stayed for a while before walking in.
"Fu Niang, I'm going to ask." She told the time, location, and number of people. At the same time, she also brought someone over, "Fu Niang, this is your deputy."
Ling Xiao looked at the other person. He was a middle-aged man who looked a little scared. His hairline was in danger. At this moment, he looked over with some hope. When he saw Ling Xiao, he felt even worse.
She is a very young woman.
Even though he was sitting there, it could be seen that he was very slender, holding a roll of wooden slips in both hands, and Bai Shengsheng's wrists were also very slender. He didn't look like a person with military value. No! Let her take them there, wouldn't it?
Not to die?
But before he could say anything, he suddenly felt the eyes of the person sitting there sweeping over him. After meeting those eyes, he didn't know anything. Because that glance made him feel like he wanted to shrink into a ball.
Terrible woman, he didn't dare to underestimate her.
Naturally, Yang Juan didn't see Ling Xiao's glance, so she didn't pay much attention when she saw the man. Ling Xiao just said a few words to the man named Heng Yi, and then Heng Yi walked out honestly.
.
Yang Juan, who was watching all this in surprise, waited for Heng Yi to leave and then talked to Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao had only one request, that Yang Juan should take care of his little village.
To this end, Yang Juan agreed wholeheartedly and said at the end: "Don't worry, I will ask people to pay more attention to the situation in Xiaowangzhuang. If anything happens, just ask Huanlang to come over. If it doesn't work, you can come over earlier."
Ling Xiao shook his head and said: "Huan Lang should also take on some things. Take care of him during this period. Huan Lang is still young, and he will be able to take over in a few years."
Yang Juan sent Ling Xiao away with a smile on her face, feeling somewhat apologetic. After secretly breathing a sigh of relief, she prepared some things and planned to let Ling Xiao take them with her at some time, especially some paper and silk that could be used for writing.
silk.
Besides, Ling Xiao also met several people after leaving the Yang family's mansion. Although her status was far inferior to that of Yang Juan, and she even looked indescribably lazy, she had a unique feeling about her that made most people dare not offend her easily.
Ling Xiao returned to Zhuangzi. The reason why he paid more attention to Zhuangzi was because Ling Xiao buried Master Liu near Zhuangzi, and then moved the tombs of Master Liu's wife and the original owner's parents here.
As a person who didn't plan to use puppets very much, due to the war, she finally used puppets to move the bones of three people to Mrs. Liu. This was a geomantic treasure land she specially selected and bought the place specifically for this purpose.
She took Huanlang to bury the old people. During the burial, she told Huanlang that if he died one day, he must not bury good things with him, otherwise he would not be peaceful after death and would attract tomb robbers.
When Master Liu died, he was not buried with any gold, silver or jewelry. These things were definitely meant for people to steal and dig up the tomb. Thinking about the princes and generals from ancient times to the present, didn’t they always attract some tomb robbers to visit again and again?
I think about how glorious the Empress Dowager Cixi was when she was alive. She was just a stickler for words. She was honored as "Lafayette" and the emperor was a puppet in her hands. She lived a life of incomparable nobility.
As a result, after her death, the tomb was blown up with gunpowder, and all the gold, silver, and jewelry buried with her were looted. Her head was kicked around like a ball, and she ended up not knowing where she went.
The tragic death of Empress Dowager Cixi did not gain sympathy from everyone. Even in ancient China, where the number of deceased persons was high, everyone said that she deserved it and that this was retribution.
During her administration, when the Eight-Nation Allied Forces invaded, they did not think about how to resist, they only thought about escaping, and signed unequal treaties with the invaders.
What she did exacerbated the tragedy of the people. The Chinese were like pigs and dogs in the eyes of the invaders. This was why few people sympathized with her when her body fell into this miserable state.
There was another very important reason why her tomb was robbed: her grave goods were too valuable, which led warlords who wanted to fight but had no money to pay attention to the grave goods, and finally opened the tomb under the attack of gunpowder.
It can be seen that it is extremely dangerous for the deceased to be buried with many things. It will only make people think about how to steal the grave and dig up the grave to get the gold, silver and jewelry buried with them.
Grave robbers are not too polite to the deceased after entering the tomb. In many cases, in order to seize more funerary objects, they will directly take the bones out of the coffin and throw them on the ground. They will also remove valuable things from the corpse.
Rain will even flow into the tomb along the hole, causing the bones that were still lying aside to be soaked in water again. It would be so annoying for the deceased to know.
It can be said that those tombs with rich burial objects have always been a profitable place for tomb robbers. In order to allow the deceased to have a good rest, it is best not to have any burial objects as much as possible, and at most put some bamboo slips and wooden slips.
