peasant queen

Chapter 64
Chu Yan looked like his uncle when he was a child, with round almond eyes.When they grow up, they look like the emperor's eyes, with slender red phoenix eyes.

However, these officials in Qingyuan Prefecture did not know that not only did they not find the Seventh Prince, but they arrested many innocent teenagers.

The teenagers in the Fucheng city did not dare to go out again.

And those youngsters who were arrested kept calling for grievances, and their families also tried to spend money to go to the Yamen to plead for mercy.

This actually made the petty officials under Qingyuan Mansion earn a lot of money.

But it's not their decision whether to let people go or not, they just take the cash and hand over the words, but they don't care if they can get things done.

Those families who spent money trying to save their sons not only failed to save their sons, but lost a lot of family wealth.

All of a sudden, families with fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys fled out one after another.

But after a few days, Lin Hanshen saw too many arrests.

There was no room for the prison to be locked up, fearing that there would be trouble if there was too much noise, so I restrained myself a little.If you see something similar, take it aside and ask, if it is local or looks similar, let it go.

Later, Lin Hanshen received a letter from the prefect of Jinyuan, saying that there was a flood there, and asked Qingyuan to provide some food assistance.

Only then did I know that there was a flood in Jinyuan, and I didn't care about arresting people for a while.Hurry up and start sending troops to stockpile food and check the city gates.Immediately close the city gate if something goes wrong.

The people in the yamen received the order, and they notified the family to stock up on food, while implementing the magistrate's order.

This series of actions by Qingyuan Mansion shocked the ordinary people living in the city. When they saw other people robbing food, they followed suit.

Soon, the price of grain in Qingyuan Mansion rose to sky-high prices, and there was still no grain to buy.

Chu Yan soon found out about these things through the secret guards.

He hurriedly asked someone to notify the prefect of Linyuan to make him ready.The magistrate of Linyuan was the same year as Uncle Chu Yan.

This matter, before leaving the palace.Concubine De told Chu Yan herself that the magistrate could be trusted.

Chu Yan has been cultivating his influence outside the palace for the past few years, and has never contacted him.

This time is just an opportunity, you can try it.If he can be trusted, he can expand from Linyuan.

After thinking about it, Chu Yan sent another letter to Jiang Chengshan in Songshan Town.

Tell him about the Jinyuan flood and let him prepare in advance.

Jiangyang Village, after Jiang Wan went up the mountain.The Jiang family is still the same as before, busy with the seasoning workshop at home.

But the Chen family is not so peaceful.

Old man Chen was killed by Jiang Wan, and his body was destroyed.Chen Xinger was thrown by Jiang Wan to Ma Er to be his wife, Chen Xinger naturally disagreed.

She wants to go home, but Ma Er won't let her go back.If she left, wouldn't he be doing all the work at home?
Of course Maji didn't want to.

However, what surprised Ma Er was: where did old man Chen go?Chen Xing'er hasn't been back for two days, why didn't he come out to look for it?
After thinking about it, Ma Er took advantage of Chen Xing'er's work.I secretly came to Chen's house to have a look, and found that Chen's house hadn't changed much from before.

Chen Yushi was still hiding in the corner of the yard as before, the rain was pouring on her, and she didn't know how to get something to block it.

Ma Er came to the main room again, but there was no one in it.

The house has not been cleaned up, and the bowls eaten a few days ago are still on the table.The leftovers fell all over the floor, and it looked like Chen Yu had grabbed them with his hands, and they were all hairy.

A sour smell poured straight into Ma Er's brain, and Ma Er hurriedly left the room with his nose backward.

Seeing that there was no one in the Chen family, Ma Er took an umbrella and left again.No one cares about Chen Yushi who was drenched in the rain in the yard.

Back home, Chen Xing'er had just finished her work.

Seeing Ma Er coming back from outside with an umbrella, she asked angrily, "What are you doing? There's so much work, I can't do it all by myself."

"If you can't finish it, just do it slowly, I didn't rush you." Ma Er put away the umbrella and said.

Chen Xing'er didn't speak, she couldn't beat Ma Er.There is another blind old woman watching at home, as long as she makes a little movement, the old woman can hear it.

Before, it was because of that old woman that she was brought back by Ma Er.

With Ma Er behind her back, Chen Xing'er looked viciously at the blind old woman who was groping for the soles of her shoes, then picked up the vegetables in the basket and went to cook.

These vegetables were all dug back by Chen Xing'er in the rain.

Because Ma Er was afraid that Chen Xing'er would steal the food, so when cooking, Ma Er would watch from the sidelines.

During the meal, Chen Xing'er could not serve the table.

Ma Er gave Chen Xing'er a small bowl alone, and put the rice and vegetables together.Finally, take a spoonful of vegetable soup and soak it in a bowl, just like feeding a dog to a cat.

Chen Xinger is only 11 years old, and it is time to grow her body.

She can't get enough of such a big bowl, and she doesn't like this way of eating.

She does all the work, so why not let her eat and run away.She must escape, Chen Xing'er thought while eating.

After eating, Chen Xing'er can rest for a while.It's a rest, but she doesn't need to do physical work.

She still has to follow Ma Er's mother to learn how to make clothes and shoes.

Chen Xing'er never does these things at home, and Chen Yu's does all the needlework.

Later, with Yuan Shi, her clothes were all made by Yuan Shi.In fact, how could it be possible for Yuan Shi to make clothes for her? They were all made by the maids around her.

It's just that the Chen family didn't know, they all thought it was Yuan who did it.

Chen Xing'er is going to learn how to wear the soles of shoes today, the soles are so thick that she can't handle them.My hand was bleeding from the needle, and I didn't push the needle to the opposite side.

Later, she saw Ma Er's mother holding a copper coin at the bottom.She tried it too, but broke the needle.

Three needles were broken back and forth, and the thread on the sole of Nana's shoe did not go through.

In the end, Ma Er's mother was afraid that she would break the remaining needles.Don't let her wear the soles of her shoes, let her learn how to sew clothes.

Ma Er wanted to sleep in the room, but couldn't.Always thinking about old man Chen, where did old man Chen go?
After thinking about it, my hands were itchy again, and I wanted to go to the gambling house to play a couple of games.

But it has been raining recently, and he wants to go to the town to gamble, but he can't do it.He was so angry that he cursed and threw everything on the bed to the ground.

After a while, he went down to pick up the things again, covered himself with a quilt and lay down on the bed.

Recently, I stay at home all night, either eating or sleeping, and I don't have to do the same work as before. Ma Er's whole body has gained a lot of weight.

After sleeping for a while and unable to fall asleep, I got up and drank the wine I had hidden before.

When the jar of wine was finished, he was almost drunk, and the wine jar in his hand fell to the ground with a "boom".Now, don't worry about falling asleep.

Chen Xing'er, who was sewing clothes outside, was overjoyed when she heard the voice from the room.

This is the sound of wine jars falling to the ground. It was the sound of wine jars falling to the ground when his father was drinking at home.

After thinking about it, she said to Ma Er's mother, "I'll go to the room and have a look."

Saying that, he threw the things in his hand and ran away.When I got to the room, I saw that there was indeed a wine jar on the ground, and Ma Er was lying on the bed.

Chen Xing'er quietly stepped forward to check, and then gently pushed.

He found that Ma Er didn't respond at all, and his body still smelled of alcohol.
