Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 3156 Asking

   Zhou Man took a sip of water from his teacup, then raised his head to look at Aunt Qi.

Aunt Qi was also raising her head to look at Xiang Zhou Man. The two of them looked at Xiang Zhou Man. The two of them met. Zhou Man's mouth was raised and looked at her quietly. Her face was gentle, but Aunt Qi swallowed nervously, her knees softened, and the whole The man slipped from the chair to the ground and knelt on the ground.

Zhou Man's complexion didn't change much, and he took another sip of tea before putting down the cup.

  The room was quiet, and the teacup was placed on the table and the sound was particularly loud, and Aunt Qi couldn't help shaking.

  Bai Shan couldn’t help being curious, “How can you have the courage to do such a thing?”

Before that, Bai Shan hadn’t met Aunt Qi, but Zhou Man mentioned it, saying that when she stopped the car and asked her to accept the little lady Lu, she was still calm and composed, but she didn’t act very well. Eyes full of loopholes.

  Not to mention that there is another Mingda who grew up in the deep palace beside her. Her thoughts are transparent in Mingda's eyes.

  Mingda and Zhou Man don’t care about other people's scheming in front of them. As long as they are not malicious, they are willing to accept their scheming for a better life. If they can help, they will help, if they can't, they just refuse.

  It's just that as soon as Aunt Qi appeared, they felt the slight sense of reluctance to force them, so they made people stare at her.

  Aunt Qi shivered.

  Bai Shan's face turned straight, and he said solemnly: "Let's talk."

  Aunt Qi bowed her head, tears streaming down her face, "I beg your lord for mercy, slaves, slaves are forced."

  Bai Shan said: "Speaking from the beginning, the county listens thoroughly."

   Zhouman and Mingda are ready to listen.

Aunt Qi paused for a while before saying: "The slave is from Qizhou..."

  They knew that after Zhou Man and Mingda suspected her bad intentions, Bai Shan sent them to Qizhou for investigation. Anyway, it is not far from Qingzhou.

  But the facts found were that their mother and daughter were indeed from Qizhou, and the information she gave was not false.

  Aunt Qi wiped her tears and said: "My man died early and left us orphans and widows. She is not a son. My husband and clan always see us as unpleasant and want me to remarry."

"I didn't want to, they called my family to tie me back," Aunt Qi said, "My man and I have only one daughter, so why should I leave her alone and remarry? It just so happened that there was a pass when the trouble was the worst. My merchant rescued me and gave me a little money to bring my daughter to Beihai County."

  She paused, her voice lowered, “He asked the slave to come to Beihai County to find out some news, and then he only needs to pass the news to him. After three years, he will give us mother and daughter one hundred taels.”

  Aunt Qi said: "One hundred taels, you can build a small yard if you find a village, and the remaining money can give my daughter a son-in-law, enough for our wife to live a lifetime."

  Bai Shan asked, "What news does he want to find out?"

"Just said that I must enter the weaving workshop, and then I will take over the work of delivering clothes to the salt field, and I will talk about the rest later." Aunt Qi said hurriedly: "But I can't get into the weaving workshop, and I don't have any news for him. ."

   "How many times has the merchant contacted you?"

"Three times, but once in person." Aunt Qi hurriedly said: "The slave didn't say anything. I have been working in Zhuangzi. I didn't know anything about the weaving workshop and the salt field. They didn't ask me anything at first. ..."

The other party didn't seem to expect Aunt Qi to be of much use. After she came to Beihai to settle down, someone contacted her quietly. He heard that she couldn't get in to the weaving workshop, nor could she touch the salt field, and she didn't say when she could only stay on the Zhuangzi. What, just let her continue to work on Zhuangzi, not suspicious.

  The second time she contacted, she took the initiative to contact, because at that time she was assigned to Shunping Village. She was actually worried and didn't want to continue doing it anymore.

Aunt Qi wiped her tears and said: "The adults are kind to our mother and daughter. They not only give us a place to stay, but also make us money. I already want to stay here in my heart, so I went to the person and say no. It's done."

"But he threatened me that if he was disobedient, he would not only report me to the adults, but also let us die without knowing it. Slaves, slaves are really scared, so I dare not say anything." Aunt Qi said. "But after we went to Shunping Village, no one came to see me again. I, I don’t come to the county anymore..."

  At that time, Aunt Qi felt it was good to be transferred to Shunping Village. As long as she never came to the county seat and the person in the county seat never came to her, then this incident would have never happened.

  Bai Shan and Zhou Man were shocked, there are such innocent people in this world.

  Bai Shan finally knows why she wants to marry Zhu Liulang, this is all right.

  Bai Shan asked: “What did the merchant personally come to say last time? For one to five to ten, no additions or reductions are allowed.”

  Madame Qi told Bai Shan exactly what the merchants had said at the time, and he could even remember his expression at the time.

  Bai Shan and Zhou Man raised their eyebrows, and even Mingda looked up at Aunt Qi in surprise.

  It’s no wonder that the merchant would choose Aunt Qi to do meticulous work. This is indeed a rare skill.

  The merchant who came to Aunt Qi did not ask about Yanchang, but about everything she knew about Beihai County, including some rumors about Bai Shan Zhouman, the situation of Guantian Zhuangzi, etc. He asked if Aunt Qi knew.

But Aunt Qi said: "But the slave dare not tell him all, just saying that the slave has been working in the Zhuangzi and cannot go out, so I don't know much. Only, I only talked about some things about farming in the Zhuangzi, and other things. Didn't say anything."

  Bai Shan asked, “I heard that he stayed in Zhuangzi for one more day. What did he do on that day?”

"I didn't do anything, I just wandered around in the field, and I was looking for someone to find out about the hired workers here," said Aunt Qi: "I think he doesn't believe me too much, so he asked the people in Zhuangzi for news. ."

  Bai Shan frowned, "Where is he wandering?"

   Aunt Qi said: "It's a place where we grow rice and wheat. Oh, we were harvesting wheat at that time, so he went to see us harvesting wheat."

  This year, the official fields in Beihai County used all new wheat varieties, and many villages also planted some new wheat varieties. The harvest was good in Chengdu.

  But the most important thing is that new rice seeds have been planted in the Guantian in Beihai County this year. Because the number of seeds is limited, not all of them have been planted, but it also ensures that at least 10 mu of land in each village is planted with new rice seeds.

  Bai Shan’s job fields are all new rice seeds.

  Bai Shan looked at Aunt Qi with deep eyes and asked, “How is the rice in the field this year?”

Aunt Qi was stunned for a moment, and she didn't understand how to mention it suddenly, but she still said, "Although there was a drought some time ago, it's not bad. The slave sees that the earing is quite good."

  Bai Shan raised his eyebrows, glanced at Zhou Man, and asked, “Who is responsible for the new rice fields in Zhuangzi?”

   "The steward is personally responsible."

  Bai Shan nodded in satisfaction, slightly relieved.
