Mr. Xiang teases her husband every day

Xiang Jiu'an followed Miss Zhao's family, now Mrs. Sun's carriage, and came towards Quzhou.

The closer he got to Quzhou, the more uneasy Xiang Jiuan felt in his heart.Before this, the news of his coming was not sent to my uncle in advance.He was sent out by my mother suddenly and quickly.Thinking of the current situation at home, Xiang Jiu'an's little boy's heart felt very uneasy.

Things got weird at home.There was a beautifully dressed woman, but my mother said she didn't care about him, and she didn't allow him to call her.That woman also brought her brother with her, and every time she led him out to play, her mother would get very angry when she came back, and then quarrel with her father. Every time my father left in anger, my mother would cry for a long time.

This time I was able to go out because my mother heard that Mrs. Sun was going to follow her husband to take up the post, which happened to be the place where my uncle worked, so my mother hurriedly informed my grandmother, and then he was sent here in a hurry.

Mother told him to listen to his uncle more, learn more from him, be diligent with his hands and feet, and help him with things more, so that he can be liked.

But, uncle, he is not familiar with it.Besides, my uncle is the champion of literary music, such a powerful person, how could he have the time to take him!

Zhao Xinlan had no time to pay attention to Xiang Jiuan's entanglement.According to relatives, she couldn't refuse to take such a young boy on the road.But with Xiang Jiu'an, she had a more reasonable excuse to come to Quzhou again.

Opening the curtain and looking out, Zhao Xinlan's eyes widened unexpectedly. On the road leading to Quzhou, there appeared intermittently many young men in bunts, muscular and sweaty working.

This is, building a road?

Zhao Xinlan took a closer look and saw what they were doing, and became more and more puzzled.

When they officially entered Quzhou County, they were full of people working in full swing.The strong men are in groups of three or four, and those who push carts, move bricks, and carry shovels, are either building roads or building houses.Some distance away from the roadside, there is a large pot with steaming herbal tea in it, and a large wooden barrel next to it. After the herbal tea is boiled, pour it in and let it dry. If you want to drink, you only need to bring your own Bowl over and scoop out.

Zhao Xinlan is not an ignorant woman raised in a deep boudoir, on the contrary, she is quite intelligent and knowledgeable.Seeing this situation, he immediately ordered the carriage to stop, sat down in a roadside tea house, and signaled the little girl who was following him to inquire about it.

The little girl caught a glimpse of a strong man resting beside him, his clothes were dusty, and the soles of his feet were still covered with mud.The little girl curled her lips inwardly, suppressing her displeasure, raised her face with an innocent smile, and asked sweetly: "Dare to ask this big brother, how do you get to the Quzhou County Yamen?"

When the strong man heard that they were going to the yamen, his expression became eager immediately, and he tried his best to speak kindly: "Turn across this street, reach the main road ahead, go all the way to the end, and you will see it. Little girl, why do you want to go to the Yamen?" Going to the yamen? Visiting relatives or friends?"

"It doesn't count. We sent people over and left after a day or two. What are you all doing? I feel so busy!"

The burly man laughed a few times, and said with a proud tone: "Busy, don't you see that this road is much smoother? And the house that is being built at the other end, little girl, do you know what that is for? "

The little girl looked over, and the house being built at the other end was made of very particular materials, all of which were big bricks and thick wood, and they were very strong at first glance.

"What are you doing?"

"Hey, that's the nursery hall in Quzhou, which takes in homeless beggars and unwanted children. There's also the one on the other side, which hasn't been built yet. It's an old people's home, which takes in old people. , if there is really no place to live beggars can also live in. I heard people say that there is also a special place for clothes distribution, and someone cooks meals, which is very good.”

"Ah? Is it free? How much money does it cost? Is it from the yamen?"

"Hey, there is no need to pay from the yamen! The money in these two places is all donated by the masters of the rich families, and the list is posted there!"

This time it was another man carrying a shovel who came over to talk to him. He picked up the handkerchief around his neck and wiped his face. He sat down, looked at the little girl, and said, "Look at you, it seems From out of town?"

The little girl uncomfortably tugged on the silk dress on her new upper body quietly, and said cautiously: "We are going to the Yamen to find someone."

The man looked at her, then turned his head to look at Zhao Xinlan who was surrounded by a veil, curled his lips, and said, "Don't worry, little girl, no one dares to make any foolish plans in the border of Quzhou. Now, everyone is honest. It's on."

"Hahaha, Niu Er, do you have the nerve to say that? How thick-skinned you are!"

The brawny man who spoke first, laughed and punched the bull.

"Why are you embarrassed to say that? Although I, Niu Er, used to be a rascal and was looked down upon by everyone, but now I work with the county magistrate, get copper money every month, eat well and wear well. Why do I have the nerve to come out and stir up trouble? !"

"Hahaha, it is extremely extreme. Now that someone dares to make trouble, we will be the first to spare him. Shopkeeper, here is a plate of fried peanuts, and a few bowls of herbal tea."

Four or five resting men came in, all of them wearing short jackets and their faces covered with dust.Zhao Xinlan frowned, resisting the smell of sweat, and sat still.

Xiang Jiu'an sat at the table with the old servant he brought, and looked around with his eyes wide open.

This is the territory controlled by his uncle!

"Why are you here? Has the road into the county been repaired?"

"It's still a little bit short. Seeing the sun rising, Zhengjun called for a rest, and we will go there in two quarters of an hour."

"A gentleman is a good person!"

"No, I lost a pair of cards a while ago, and almost had to do a day's work for nothing. I was so anxious that I almost went to the house. Zhengjun heard that he called my team and asked them one by one. Seeing that I did so much work, and immediately asked the accountant to give the copper coins, hey, not a penny is bad."

"You fool, fortunately you met Zhengjun, if it was Hao Wusi, it would probably be for nothing!"

"No, that guy is stingy, I'm afraid we'll take too much copper."

"Hahaha, can he not feel sorry for Mom! I heard that most of the money for road construction came from his Hao family. On the surface, it was donated, but in reality, most of it was greedy before. Now that Mr. Xiang came , don’t spit it out obediently!”

"That's right, otherwise, according to that guy's stingy strength, will he get the money for nothing?"

Everyone agreed together, and ate peanuts with their mouths. Zhao Xinlan frowned when she heard this, feeling disgusted in her heart.

"At the beginning, I heard that the old man said that he could get at most one tael of silver a month, but I still didn't believe it. Now look at Meng Guangzhi, who just came up with a way to quickly bond the soil, and was awarded two taels of silver by the old man! My God, It’s a whole two taels of silver! In addition to the money Meng Guangzhi earned from his own work, when he settles the money a month, he gets a full two taels of silver plus six hundred copper coins!”

"There's also our Ah Qing, who built bricks well and was awarded [-] copper coins."

"Tsk tsk, it's a pity that we can only do it stupidly, otherwise, if we put our minds to it, maybe we can get rewarded silver!"

"Niu Er, forget it, if it wasn't for the lord's kindness, the yamen will still be closed!"

Niu Er's eyes widened in disbelief, and he yelled: "I, Niu Er, can change now, why are you always talking about the mess in the past! At least I, Niu Er, came to build roads from the beginning, not like Li Datou People, just thinking about being lazy, were locked up and starved for two days before being released, so they still have to work honestly!"

"We, Xiang Zhengtang, are a good official. If we don't work honestly, how can we be worthy of our own conscience. I heard from them that when the road is repaired, our products in Quzhou can be shipped out and sold for a lot of money."

"Oh, go to work, go to work, there is hope in this day, and we will have endless energy."

The resting men walked out in a swarm, and as they walked, someone chanted: "I heard that our Zhengjun is pregnant. My mother-in-law has raised old hens for several years. I don't know if Zhengjun will eat them or not."

"Zhengjun has a good appetite, you send it to the safekeeping bank."

Zhao Xinlan didn't hear what the rest were yelling.Her mind was in a mess, and only one thought kept spinning.

Zhao Shen is pregnant?

Didn't you say you never had children?Why did she suddenly become pregnant?

Her right hand touched her lower abdomen unconsciously, Zhao Xinlan's expression was dull.Suddenly, I lost interest in the trip.

Originally thought that this time, with Sun Jun's position as the general judge of Pingfu, which is higher than Xiang Yuan's county magistrate of Quzhou, she would be able to calm down the depression in her heart, but unexpectedly he has a body!

And she has no news yet!

When she really saw Zhao Shen, Zhao Xinlan didn't know what it was like in her heart.

Zhao Shen is very busy.

When they arrived, he was surrounded by a group of people who were talking about something.She only saw Zhao Shen frowned, and immediately someone stood up and reprimanded them, and then arranged the order one by one, and reported one by one.

Zhao Shen was dressed in a light blue robe, sitting in front of the table, with a straight back and a gentle expression, there was no gloomy look in his eyes, nor did he seem to have a body.

Seeing her, Zhao Shen was obviously surprised, and even more surprised when he saw Xiang Jiu'an following behind.While ordering someone to invite Xiang Yuan to come over, he greeted her to take a seat, and ordered someone to serve tea and snacks, and his actions and words were all like the mistress of the house.

Zhao Xinlan said that Sun Jun was transferred to Tongping Mansion as the judge, and she followed her to the post, and accepted the entrustment of Xiang's sister-in-law to bring Xiang Jiu'an to Xiang Yuan, so she ran this trip and came here by the way Look at Zhao Shen.Anyway, both of them are from the Zhao family, and now they are in the same place, so naturally they have to take care of each other.

Zhao Shen nodded as he listened, briefly asked about the recent health conditions of Master Zhao and Mrs. Zhao, and then fell silent.Zhao Xinlan also didn't know how to continue the chat.

In name, she and Zhao Shen are brothers and sisters, but in reality, the two of them have spoken less than ten sentences.The love between them is worse than that of neighbors.

"Jinyan, Congzi said that you have contacted someone on the other side, can you go and see now?"

The person who came in to speak was Xiang Yuan's second brother-in-law, Xu Zhong'an.He arrived five days earlier than Zhao Xinlan.

"Find it. Song Da, go and ask Aqi from the Li family's Xiawazi to come over, and Xiaoyu from Shangwazi, too."

Song Da responded from outside, and brought in two young men of seventeen or eighteen years old after a cup of tea.

Zhao Xinlan felt a little uncomfortable, so she looked at them together again, and one of them was obviously a younger brother.She glanced at Zhao Shen in a blink of an eye, and lowered her head to drink tea.

Xu Zhongan wanted to make local products and herbal medicines. Zhao Shen thought of Aqi who he had met before, and it seemed that he was just messing around with these things, so he called people over and asked them carefully. Incoming goods channel.Both parties have plans, and Zhao Shen is the referrer in the middle.

Seeing that they were two young men, Xu Zhongan was a little uneasy, but after asking, he gave up his contempt, and they moved outside, gathered around the stone table, and discussed in detail.

The deeper the contact, the more Xu Zhongan admired him.Before he came, he thought to himself that it would be difficult for Congzi to open up the situation in Quzhou for the first time, and he might also want to use him to break the situation by pulling him here to do business.Unexpectedly, after this, what he saw and heard clearly showed that the son didn't need his help at all, and he was really called to help him.For a moment, Xu Zhongan felt guilty and grateful at the same time, and felt [-]% pity for Second Sister Xiang.

As for Zhao Xinlan, she is bearing these shocks.
