Chapter 91
Xue Tingyan listened to Zhao’er, and his eyes dimmed on the spot.
He tried his best to hold back the violent feeling in his heart. Somehow, the closer he was to the marriage of Zhao Er in the dream, the inexplicably he would always be nervous. Always afraid of having an accident, always afraid of repeating the same mistakes, always afraid-she will die …
It is clear that reality and dreams are far from each other. At this time in dreams, he was still struggling to study at Qinghe Academy and was awkward with recruiting children. But now he is the first to win the case. The talents of Xiu Cai have been achieved, and the two are about to become married. So he will certainly not repeat the same mistakes, and he will never die, but he is afraid …
Probably because of that dream, the most critical part is missing.
Xue Tingyan took a deep breath, suppressing the impulse to say no, but asked Zhaoer what to do.
Zhaoer hesitated, but told the truth.
After listening, Xue Tingyan was relieved at the same time, he was also somewhat dissatisfied: “Why didn’t you tell me about this?”
Zhaoer blinked and did not speak, but the meaning is obviously that you will not do business, I tell you to do it?
Xue Tingyan pursed his lower lip lightly and had to admit that Zhao’er was the only person who could make him feel frustrated. Even in that dream, it seemed to be the same. He always felt frustrated and powerless towards her.
Once he analyzed, nothing more than the character of Zhao’er.
She is independent, autonomous, and capable. It seems that it doesn’t matter if he is or not. She can feed herself, even without him, she may live better.
That’s it, no matter how important it is, frustrated and powerless but trying to hold her tightly, never give up. He couldn’t handle this complex emotion at all in the dream. Fortunately, he had made this dream and matured a lot.
“We are the closest people in this world. I will tell you everything, but shouldn’t you tell me something? Even if I can’t help you, I can share it.” Xue Tingyan said silently.
When Zhao Er heard the closest person in the world, she couldn’t help but think of the scene of her and the little man after the death of her father and mother. His eyes softened, not to mention his breath.
“I couldn’t help it even if I wanted to tell you, you weren’t at home then.” After a pause, she said again: “You don’t know now.”
“So what are you going to do now?”
Zhaoer told him what he had left behind and what he planned to do this time.
Xue Tingyan had surprise in his eyes, but he was not surprised. In that dream, Zhao’er was quite talented in business, but unfortunately he was stifled by that talent.
Thinking of these, his eyes darkened: “I will go with you.”
In a village in Wanqing Township, Xia County, dozens of villagers surrounded a carriage.
This carriage is no different from a normal carriage, the only difference is that there are two large characters ‘Hu Ji’ printed on the wall of the car, and the clothes worn by the black skinny man driving also have the symbol of ‘Hu Ji’ .
The villagers were very indignant. They blocked the road and prevented the carriage from going. They had to ask the driver to say something ugly.
The driver was a black and thin man. His appearance was not outstanding, but his tone and attitude were very arrogant.
He stood up from the cowl and glared: “You still don’t want to let go, do you want to sell the dish to Hu Hu in the future? I told you several times, the price of the dish was set above It ’s okay for me to run errands, you stop me from doing anything! “
“Why doesn’t it matter to you? We know you if you don’t know anything. If you don’t know anything, you will know you! It’s less than a month, and the price of food has been squeezed from you by a dozen to a few. Our hard-earned money! “
“Yes, it is!”
“As usual, even if the vegetable price drops, it won’t fall so fast.”
“I have relatives in the town who work in a restaurant. He happened to be helping the kitchen chef. You take the vegetables bought from us and sell them to the restaurant at high prices. Don’t think we don’t know!” Villagers Road.
“Blackhearted profiteers!”
“Don’t give a comment today, don’t leave today!”
The villagers were filled with indignation. The black skinny man couldn’t help but panicked and scolded: “Who said we buy cheap and sell high, and stand up to Lao Tzu to see if I don’t smash his mouth. It ’s about integrity. Dare to sell the meat for a few rotten leaves, why do n’t you be a robber! “
“Even if you are a robber, you Hu Ji are robbers, pit our hard-earned money.”
The villagers scolded eloquently, wherever the black skinny man was an opponent, he could only say: “Well, we are robbers, we can’t accept your food!”
Upon hearing this, the villagers panicked. They wanted to sell high prices, but they didn’t want to sell.
What if I do n’t sell? This dish is different from other things. This kind of weather will linger for a day, and then it will be worthless and hit all in the hand.
“Why don’t you accept our dishes, these dishes are obviously what you want.”
“Yes, why!”
But so much is said, mostly hesitant.
Seeing this, the black skinny man is more straightforward: “Do n’t you listen to some people squabble, how much of this dish can you sell? You have n’t counted? What was the price of the dish before, and you have n’t counted? Let me say, you earned Then it will do for a while. I really thought it was ginseng gold bumps, and I plan to hold these vegetables to build a house, marry my daughter-in-law and have children to support the family? Come on, do n’t dream in the daytime. “
“Why are you talking like that!”
“What’s wrong with me talking like this? Hurry up and don’t want to sell. There are many people who sell it. I really want you to fail!”
The black skinny man would have to drive away when he was in motion, but was stopped by the villagers.
“Is it possible to add another article?”
“Nothing is added, you love to sell or not to sell!” Black skinny men gazed at these men from the top.
In the end, these villagers still succumbed, and it was better than the vegetables in their hands.
And this situation was also staged in many places at the same time, that Hu Ji and Yan Yuese’s earlier attitude changed their previous attitude and became evil and evil.
Of course, some villagers do not want to sell the vegetables to Hu Ji at a low price, but plan to pick them and sell them in the town.
There are many people with this idea, not a few.
It was a pity that they were stopped before entering the town. These people are Hu Ji’s people.
“You are planning to pick where the food is. I used to lie to us that there was no food at home, but now I pick the food privately and sell it. Who are you stupid? Don’t forget that you signed a contract with us. . Some of our lords are in the county government office. They really take things seriously. Let ’s go to the county government office and discuss how. ”
After this, some villagers were frightened, and only a few bold villagers remained, but unfortunately the number was too small to be a success.
There are also villagers and Hu Ji who make a big noise, but they are greeted with a good meal.
The villagers have no resistance at all, and can only sit back and watch the price of the food is lower every day, even lower than before when Hu Ji has not appeared.
By this time, many villagers had regretted it. At that time, Wang Ji’s people collected their vegetables, and the prices of the vegetables had been kept at a relatively stable level.
Even when the vegetable price is the lowest in a year, the vegetable price will never be reduced to this point. But now it’s too late to say anything. They greedy money and Hu Ji forced the Wang Ji away. Hu Ji lost his restraint and blackened his conscience. Now it can only be regarded as self-eating.
Xu Xingling returned to the mansion behind the county government office and saw that the gentle wife, who had always been virtuous, was reprimanding a few servants.
He sat down on the chair before looking at his wife, whose angry face hadn’t disappeared.
“What happened, why is it so angry?”
“Master, you don’t know, these diaos are really black! Our family of four, the cost of cooking meat in the past is not more than two silver a month, but this month has more than tripled.”
The Xu family is not very generous. It was born in a small family. The salary of a Qipin county magistrate is only dozens of silver a year. The Xu county magistrate also had to support the mother in the family and supplement the brothers.
Before that, Mrs. Xu discovered that Cai Jin was rising continuously, but the servants in this house were equipped with county government agencies. She was not good at acting too much, fearing that the servants would secretly sneer. How could she tolerate the madness of these tycoons, this month’s Caijin climbed to an incredible height.
This time Mrs. Xu can’t bear it, it will change the old nature to scold Diao.
And just as Mrs. Xu told the truth, the few people kneeling underneath repeatedly called out injustice.
Just talk about it, and complain about it wrongly when you are over there: “Master, it is not that I secretly bought food, but the price of vegetables on the market has been high recently, and my lady is used to buying vegetarian food. We can be described as trying our best. We only travel around the county town every day in order to buy those dishes, and we should not be so slandered by my wife. “
The woman-in-law, who was in charge of buying, also told the extent of the recent increase in vegetable prices. From a few articles two months ago to the last dozen articles, I repeatedly lamented that the price of vegetables was higher than the price of meat. But in order to serve the good ladies, they can only pick up and buy.
Where do these people know that Mrs. Xu and Xu Xianling are married couples, and they lived with Xu Xingling in the early years. The county magistrate Xu was not an official for many years, because there was no background, and there was no money in his family.
The only difference is that the place where I used to be is poorer and more remote than Xia County. In plain words, it is the place where the bird does not shit. Now in Xia County, it is much better than the place where the bird does not shit.
But the vision of human beings is like this. In the past, there was no one to bachelor’s wife, because everyone was poor. Nowadays, many wealthy households come to make friends, but Xu County Order has just arrived, and has not established a firm foot, nor dare to indiscriminately engage with others, but also strictly ordered his wife to make wives of those rich households.
In Mrs. Xu’s eyes, meat must be more expensive than vegetables. But she, the magnificent wife of Zhixian County, said so in front of people, she can only claim that in order to maintain her physique, she not only eats herself, but also eats her daughter.
Therefore, the situation of the Xu family is that two women and women love to be vegetarian, and the meat dishes are saved as much as possible for the Xu county magistrate and the only child. Who ever thought that this kind of vegetable price would be higher than the price of meat? Therefore, Mrs. Xu is particularly unacceptable.
Naturally, this kind of thing cannot be appealed to the lower ears, but Xu Xianling knew it well. Seeing his wife half-hanged her head, her cheeks embarrassed, he sighed with pity, all kinds of complicated.
But at the same time, he realized that the situation was a bit wrong. Before that, he heard the people under the county government say that the price of vegetables is higher than the price of meat. He only regarded it as an exaggeration.
“This must be a profiteer profiting from it, and after I have checked it out, I will punish it severely.”
Ascending to such a high level, Mrs. Xu’s face was kept for a while, and several servants were covered. After waiting for the people to go down, Xu Xianling first comforted his wife, and then turned around and ordered the next person to check what was going on.
It’s just that this kind of thing is easy to check. Yayue went to the market and asked one by one next to each vegetable stall. The prices of the dishes were really high.
After careful inquiry, I learned that because the harvest farmers had a good year last year, this year, in order to produce more food, many farmers have planted vegetable plots for food. The land in Xia County is not too fertile, the weather is cold, the sand and the water are not good, and the output of vegetables is naturally not as good as those in the south of Jiangnan.
Scarcity is scarce, and shortage is expensive, which is also human nature.
Yayue reported the matter to Xu County magistrate.
Xu County Commander was born in a slight cold, and he knew how much farmers value food and would grow more food and less vegetables, which is not uncommon. But the price of this dish is really ridiculously high. It is still just August. When the cold dishes are getting less and less in October, can the price of this dish be sold at a high price?
Just when he was at a loss, he secretly wondered whether he could get a vegetable plot to grow his own vegetables, or if he could be self-sufficient, someone came to Xue Xiu to seek advice.
At first, Xu Xianling didn’t respond to who it was, and he thought about a showman who came to see him in a magnificent county. Immediately after the government warned that it was the case of Xue, he responded that it was Xue Tingyan.
“Please soon.”
Soon, Xue Tingyan was invited.
He wore a shirt for health, with red lips and white teeth, a tall figure, and an elegant appearance. The face is a bit younger, but the calmness between the eyebrows is reduced, but the childishness is reduced.
Xue Tingyan went forward to salute before sitting down at the first place.
The greetings of the two people in a polite manner, Xu county magistrate seemed very enthusiastic, changed the majesty of the weekdays in front of people. Coupled with Xue Tingyan’s name for asking questions, the conversation between the two did not appear to be cold.
However, after this conversation, Xu County Commander also saw that Xue Tingyan had something to do. He didn’t hold it, but took the initiative to ask questions.
“The student’s trip is really a private matter, and I want to trouble the adults in the county. Of course, it is also for the people’s livelihood. At the same time, it is also because of the cluelessness. . “
The county magistrate Xu was curious, but he was not curious about people’s livelihood, but Xue Tingyan seemed to be young, how could he marry a wife?
Seemingly seeing Xu County Commander’s curiosity, Xue Tingdeng said.
