When Pan Yulang heard the sound, he quickly came out of the room and immediately apologized: "Ms. Lingdang, look where you are thinking. We are just two husband and wife bickering and quarreling, and all of a sudden we are talking baldly. You can't do it."
Don’t take it personally!”
Lady Lingdang still covered her face, and her voice became even more sad: "Uncle, please do a good job in the future. When you quarrel with my uncle and his wife, don't make fun of us orphans and widowed mothers again. People's words are terrible.
Lingdang and I can't stand these rumors! Besides, my uncle and his wife are the masters, so how can we talk about this servant behind his back? My uncle and his wife didn't like Lingdang and I, so they drove us back to Zhu.
Let’s go home!”
What Lady Ling Dang said was powerful and moved people to tears. Pan Yulang and Mrs. Pan broke into cold sweat when they heard what she said. They were afraid that Lady Bell would really cause trouble to Chu Yiqing, so they immediately made excuses and said with smiles.
Good words, Lady Lingdang then put down her hand and sighed: "Uncle, my uncle is kind-hearted and knows how to take pity on us orphans and widowed mothers. Miss Chu is still waiting for me to cook, so I won't say anything."
!”
Seeing Madam Lingdang turning around and about to leave, Pan Yulang quickly stepped forward and said, "Ms. Lingdang, please don't look outside to talk about what we are arguing about, especially Miss Chu. Miss Chu has a busy day, so let's just talk about it."
Don’t cause trouble to Miss Chu!”
Lady Lingdang looked at Pan Yulang's frightened look, and pretended to sigh: "This is natural, and it doesn't sound good to say these things anymore. Although I am a country woman, I am not as well-educated as my uncle, but I still have these things."
I still understand the truth!”
Madam Lingdang said, she picked up the plate at the door and slowly walked out of the small courtyard. The sad expression on her face suddenly disappeared, and another expression immediately appeared on her face, "Pretend to be honest in front of Miss Chu, but behind the scenes
But saying these oblique words does not seem to be a fuel-saving lamp, and I will have to remind Miss Chu to pay attention to it in the future!"
Pan's anger finally burst out when Lady Ling Dang stepped out of the courtyard: "This Lady Ling Dang actually talks like this, she, she, she, she is mocking you, a scholar, who is not even as good as a country woman!"
"That's enough!" Although Pan Yulang was angry, he didn't dare to shout anymore. He quickly pulled Pan into the house and whispered: "This woman is not simple. You are still fighting for this and that. I think it's time to settle it."
Come on, don’t lose the rice by stealing the chicken!”
Mrs. Pan snorted coldly, naturally unconvinced in her heart. What is it, just a country widow whose husband died? In their country before, this kind of woman could not go out. There were many disputes and it was bad luck!
While the two were talking, they saw Pan Youzhi coming into the house. He touched the dumplings on the table and took a bite. He sat down at the table and said impatiently: "Noisy, noisy, noisy, just know it's noisy.
Besides arguing, can you do something serious? Dad, didn't you tell your aunt that you want me to go to the shop and learn how to do business? Why am I working as a janitor in the house now? I even lied to Chunhua, saying that I
We will be doing business soon. We have agreed to save up the money and come to propose marriage. What should I tell Chunhua?"
Pan was stunned and asked: "Which spring flower? Is it the one selling jokes in Hat Alley?"
Pan Youzhi was unhappy when he heard what Pan said, "Mom, why are you so funny? I just look prettier and attract boys more easily. Why do you always say that I'm so funny? Have you seen it?"
Mrs. Pan was so angry: "No, that Chunhua has a pair of fox eyes and a mole on the corner of her mouth. She looks like a dishonest, lazy and greedy master. Mother will not agree! Now, we
But living in a big house, look at this mansion. When Miss Chu leaves, the entire Chu Mansion will belong to us. How can a family like ours find that kind of woman? If you are ambitious, listen to your mother, now you
It’s different from before. Didn’t you hear the servants in this house call you Young Master Zhizhi? Young Master, although now you are just spreading the word and doing some chores, but slowly, your father will let your aunt arrange it.
You go and learn how to do business!”
Pan Youzhi refused to listen and said harshly: "Don't say anything else. Dad, go and ask my aunt when she will let me go to the shop."
Pan Yulang took out his cigarette bag and clicked it. He could tell that Pan Hui'an was not sincere in helping him, otherwise he would not have arranged this job for the two of them. Although Chu Yiqing made the decision in this family, Pan Hui'an was not sincere in helping him.
Hui'an is Chu Yiqing's godmother. How can Chu Yiqing really object to such a small matter as long as Pan Hui'an says a word? In the final analysis, Pan Hui'an didn't speak. In the past, he would only
It can wait, but now, he has something in his hands. The less Pan Hui'an wants Chu Yi to know about Hua Hanxuan, the more he will have a loophole to take advantage of!
Pan Yulang knocked the ashes from his cigarette and stood up and said: "Don't worry, this matter will be done soon. You should go to the concierge first. Don't leave a bad impression on Miss Chu. Your going to the shop will be taken care of by dad!"
Seeing Pan Yulang say this, Pan Youzhi felt no longer awkward, grabbed another dumpling, ate it and walked out.
"Youzhi, don't chew buns. There's nothing to eat. There are still two buns left from the buns I made yesterday. I'll bring them to you. Anyway, this food is free!" In this house, although there is food in the backyard,
It's all in the hands of Lady Lingdang, how much and how much to eat, but occasionally Pan can lie and say that Yang Lei or Liu Xin are not feeling well, and make a small stove or something by herself. Anyway, this food is free, and if you don't eat, you won't eat for free!
Pan Youzhi waited for a while, took the two buns and went out.
"Dad, what can you do?" Pan asked in a low voice.
Pan Youzhi stood up and walked out: "Don't worry about it. Just keep an eye on Youzhi, and don't let that Chunhua get involved. I still hope that he will get into business and marry an official lady!"
"What? How dare you even think about returning a lady from the official family!" Although Pan said this, she was looking forward to it in her heart. Now they are relatives of Miss Chu, the imperial envoy of the Agricultural Department. Which officials, big and small, in Lucheng
If you don’t give me a few points, if you really have ambitions in the future, it’s normal to marry a lady from an official family!
After Pan Youzhi made up his mind, he went directly to the front yard. It happened that Mrs. Huangfu was taking A Bao to bask in the sun in the yard. Pan Youzhi smiled and walked over, "Cousin, I have something to talk to you about.
Let’s discuss!”
Mrs. Huangfu responded and asked Abao to play by himself, then asked, "What's the matter?"
Pan Youzhi sighed: "Cousin, Youzhi is not young anymore. Just staying at home is a good idea. I think there are still a few people at home. Liu Changfa, Yuan Mutou, Zhang Yuansheng, aren't they all just bought by Miss Chu?
?I was thinking..."
Mrs. Huangfu frowned, interrupted him, and asked: "What? Are you dissatisfied with the work that Yiqing arranged for Youzhi? This is an easy job, and Yiqing comes in and out,
You can also gain some insights! Besides, those three people were arranged in the greenhouse by Yi Qing. Didn’t they plan to return to Chu Han? How could they do it without anyone in the greenhouse? "
Pan Youzhi was blocked for a moment, so he had to change his explanation and said: "How can it be possible? Our family is asking my cousin and Miss Chu to take them in. How can we care so much? It's just that Youzhi has always wanted to study business.
This kid's short-sightedness is not as far-sighted as ours. You see, he doesn't talk on weekdays, but he always sighs when he goes home at night. He wants to say it, but he is afraid of embarrassing us adults! But I am his father, look.
It makes him feel uncomfortable, and in my heart... Cousin, you said that our Pan family was originally a prominent family, but now Pan Youzhi is the only one left. What I told you before was about the old man of the Hua family, and what happened to you?
I don’t agree. Seeing that our Pan family has little hope, should we place our hopes on someone with ambition? Just support him!"
Mrs. Huangfu was someone who had experienced the incident. Naturally, she understood the meaning of Pan Youzhi's words, and immediately said calmly: "Okay, I take this matter to heart. I'll follow you when I have time.
Once Qing Ti Ti is over, you first ask You Zhi to do your own thing with peace of mind!"
When Pan Yulang heard this, he quickly said: "This is natural. Don't worry, cousin. This kid Youzhi has also suffered a lot, and he still understands this. My cousin must remember that there is something going on in the backyard.
I need to go first!"
Mrs. Huangfu waved her hand and signaled him to leave quickly.
After Pan Yulang left, Mrs. Huangfu frowned displeasedly. Seeing Ah Bao sweating while playing diabolo, she immediately said: "Ah Bao, stop playing, we will eat later!"
Abao ran over with a smile, held his head high and asked: "Grandma, after dinner I want to go to Hua Mansion to play. Hua Qi and Hua Lin both told me!"
When the Hua family was mentioned, Mrs. Huangfu's heart trembled. She knelt down and asked in a low voice: "Abao, can we not go and play with them? Isn't Mr. Yun going to teach you this afternoon?"
Abao smiled and said: "It's okay. I memorized the homework assigned by the teacher in a short time. It will be the same when I go out after reading!"
After Abao finished speaking, he jumped into the house.
Mrs. Huangfu sighed. It seemed like she couldn't stop him. Fortunately, in a few days, when the sweet potatoes here are harvested, they would return to Chu Han, so they would be far away from the Hua Mansion!
The fire in the palace gradually had follow-up effects. Governments in various places received orders from the imperial court to transport excess grain from various government offices to the capital. The major grain stores in the city had to pay even more exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes.
Success, and the names were replaced with grains, which made all the grain stores complain endlessly. These grain stores were originally small operations, and they had to hand over a lot of grain. Soon several grain stores closed in response. In addition, in March
It was during the lean period that food prices rose rapidly, and at the same time, some rumors quietly spread among the people.
"Have you heard? There is no food in the treasury, and the military rations for the soldiers on the border are no longer available, so the imperial court is raising food. Let me tell you, those who have food must hide it and cannot buy it.
You see, wheat is now four cents, corn is three cents, and soon, wheat will be eight cents!"
"Ba Wen? Shopkeeper Liang Da, are you talking in your sleep? When has this grain been so expensive? This grain is cheap and cannot be sold at a high price. The harvest is still small. Otherwise, why are we farmers who are the poorest?"
"Now is different from before. If you don't believe me, then buy the grain quickly. Now the prefect has set up a stall at the yamen gate to collect grain. Let me tell you, the price has gone up. Don't regret it!"
"Wheat is four cents, which is a good price. It used to be two cents, but we don't have any surplus grain at home. The new wheat hasn't arrived yet. Besides, most of the land in Lucheng is now planted with vegetables.
Where did the food come from?”
Chu Yiqing was sitting in the carriage, listening to the discussions of those people, and whispered to Pan Youzhi: "Youzhi, stop the car!"
Pan Youzhi quickly stopped the car.
After listening for a while, Chu Yiqing frowned and whispered to Yingqian: "You have identified the shopkeeper Liang, follow him and see if there is anything weird!"
"Yes, Miss!" Yingqian responded quickly.
"Okay, let's go!" Chu Yiqing ordered in a loud voice.
Pan Youzhi hurriedly drove the carriage out of the city and headed straight for the sweet potato fields.
Guo Huai heard the sound of the carriage and quickly led the people out of the shed, "Miss, are you here?"
Chu Yiqing nodded, and led Guo Huai and others into the greenhouse. Seeing that the sweet potato vines had begun to turn yellow, and it was almost time to harvest, she took the small shovel in Guo Huai's hand, squatted down and shoveled it carefully.
When I came out, I didn’t expect that I got two big sweet potatoes from this squat, which together weighed three to four kilograms!
"Miss, the sweet potato yield is high this year. Nothing grew in these fields before. It is a miracle to have such a harvest!" Guo Huai looked at the big red sweet potato and was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
Chu Yiqing nodded: "These lands are dry, but underneath the floating soil is black soil, which is suitable for growing sweet potatoes!"
Guo Huai paused and said cautiously: "Miss, can I ask for a favor from you?"
Chu Yiqing looked at him calmly: "For whom?"
Guo Huai lowered his head: "It's Brother Jin Rui!"
Chu Yiqing's face was cold: "Guo Huai, speaking of which, you and Jin Rui were the first to follow me. You should know better than anyone how I treat you. You also know my temper, but Brother Jin is too
It disappoints me, I don’t need such a slave, beating him into a cripple and sending him to a dental clinic is the most merciful attitude toward him!"
