Chapter 120
Tan Ji was helpless, he couldn't bring Uncle Tan back, and he didn't know what to do when he went back alone.

Then I heard Sheng Jiaojiao say:
"Anyway, the house is going to be rebuilt. I think during this period of time, let the aunt and uncle live in Qi's house. After the house is repaired, they can move back in."

As she spoke, she gestured again in the open space beside her,
"I will build a smaller house here for my uncle and aunt, so that it will be convenient for my uncle to take care of these horses. After a few days, the sweat grass will grow up. My uncle will raise the horses, and my aunt will specially pick and cut the sweat grass. , I will start wages for uncle and aunt."

"Excellent, excellent, when will the construction start?"

Uncle Tan was looking forward to it very much. He also felt that going back and forth between Qi's house and Tan's house every day was a waste of time. Among other things, at night, he couldn't sleep well. He lay on the kang, tossing and turning, just thinking about the twenty sweaty BMWs.

There was a mare that was pregnant with a calf, and I don't know if it would be frozen, but nothing happened, otherwise, it would be a big loss to the cavalry in Zhishou County.

This is the first time that Uncle Tan has felt that he is still a useful person in more than ten years. Only when he is taking care of these hard-earned horses does he feel how important he is. These horses cannot be separated from him. The county cavalry can't leave him either.

He is still the high-spirited, smug son who wants to show his strengths and make contributions to his ancestors.

The spring wind blows, bringing with it the fine snow that doesn't know where it came from, and falls on Tan Ji's hair bun. He looked at the uncle with bright eyes, and finally nodded his head and agreed, letting the uncle and auntie talk to each other. Stay at Qi's house.

A few people were talking by the side of the stables, when Qi Rong came running over with the Broken Mountain Sword in his hand, and shouted from a distance:

"Wing Chang, let's compare swords!"

The young boy, like a stupid little tiger, just finished speaking, he drew out his mountain-breaking sword, stood in the open space far away, and put on a posture ready to fight.

Tan Ji turned and stepped forward, exposed a tree, snapped off a branch, tipped his toes, and flew forward, using a branch instead of a sword, to compare with Qi Rong.

Sheng Jiaojiao watched from the side for a while, shaking her head again and again, even a person like her who was not proficient in swordsmanship could tell that Tan Ji had been fighting against Qi Rong all the time.

"Dalang is not bad, isn't he?"

A voice sounded beside Sheng Jiaojiao, she turned her head, and at some point, Uncle Tan stood beside her with a cane.

On his face full of vicissitudes, there is a very simple pride. Although he is not a good uncle, he is still proud of Tan Ji.

This is the blood of their Tan family, and they are born to go to the battlefield.

Sheng Jiaojiao agreed and added softly:

"It's very good."

She knew that Tan Ji had always been excellent. For such an excellent Haoerlang, with the passage of time, it was like the wind and sand on a gem being blown away gradually, gradually revealing the bright light inside.

In the future, it will be 12 points dazzling.

"Jiao Niang."

Behind him, someone called Sheng Jiaojiao.

She turned around and saw that Er Gouzi from the militia came with several people from the militia.

They had never been to Qi's backyard before. When they entered Qi's backyard for the first time, they were stunned by the small woods and the stables behind the woods.

After getting close to Sheng Jiaojiao, several people in the militia team were surprised and said:
"Jiao Niang, did your Qi family actually take so many trees from Chao Sect?"

They only knew that Chaozong would drag trees to the Qi family to sell them every day, sometimes a few trees, sometimes a dozen trees. .

Unexpectedly, the trees sent by the Nest Sect, planted in the afternoon of Qi's family, turned into a forest.

A villager pointed to the camphor tree next to him, touched it with his hand, and said:

"It doesn't seem to be dead."

Seeing that spring is about to begin, although the weather is still very cold, the snow on the ground has begun to melt, and wild vegetables have sprouted from the ground. Looking vaguely, there are sprouts on the branches of the Qi family that have lost all their leaves. There are a little green buds.

No one expected this. Before winter, people in the village were still saying that the Qi family didn't know how much money they had been bullied by the Chao Sect. Watching that the Chao Sect would pressure the Qi family to buy trees every day, the Qi family There is no doubt that the trees will die after a winter, and it is too arrogant for Chaozong to go.

As a result, the tree of the Qi family actually came alive.

Not only did the branches turn green, but they even became a forest.

Sheng Jiaojiao smiled politely and said:
"Good luck."

Ask Er Gouzi and others again,
"Is something wrong with Mr. Dog?"

"Last night, that vassal's mouth was so tight that he bit him to death without spitting out."

Er Gouzi can't help it, this subject has already been bitten half to death by the mastiff, but he was imprisoned in the village's militia, and he even wanted to commit suicide.

I'm afraid that such a person won't be able to pry anything out of his mouth.

There is only one survivor left, and if the delay continues, even if this survivor does not commit suicide, he will undoubtedly die due to the injuries all over his body.

So the people from the militia had no choice but to come to Sheng Jiaojiao and ask what to do next.

Sheng Jiaojiao frowned, she had nothing to do with such a person, this kind of person was not afraid of anything, even death, torture was of no use to them.

Not to mention temptation.

"National dead."

Tan Ji's voice sounded behind Sheng Jiaojiao.

He didn't know when he had ended the sparring with Qi Rong, flew over, and stood beside Sheng Jiaojiao, like a light leaf falling silently to the ground.

I heard Tan Ji say again:

"I'll go see him and see if I can ask anything."

With that said, Tan Ji signaled Ergou to lead the way.

Sheng Jiaojiao hurriedly followed, and the group arrived at the militia team in Huangtu Village.

The house of the militia does not belong to anyone, it is the ancestral hall of the village, and it also serves as the militia's training, assembly, and meetings.

The vassal soldier was imprisoned here.

Tan Ji entered the ancestral hall, seeing Sheng Jiaojiao raised his skirt to follow, he paused, looked back at her, and said gently:

"Jiao Niang should stay outside, so as not to make too much noise for a while."

"Ok?"

Sheng Jiaojiao was still a little confused, so she looked at him with bright eyes and asked:

"I can't go in and listen. Will he say something?"

"Jiaoniang won't go."

The steps were covered with the first snow. Although Tan Ji's tone was gentle, there was an undeniable strength.

Sheng Jiaojiao could only stand where she was, turning the handle of the round fan in her hand, looking at him in a daze.

Tan Ji smiled, turned around, with his back straight, and walked towards the ancestral hall of Huangtu Village, while pulling out a thin blade from his sleeve with a "shua".

"close the door."

With a heavy sound, Ergou hurried forward and closed the gate of the ancestral hall, blocking Sheng Jiaojiao's prying eyes.

"Sister, what are they doing in there?"

Qi Rong was still a little naive, stepped forward in twos and threes, stood beside Sheng Jiaojiao, and stretched his head to look at the closed gate of the ancestral hall.

Before Sheng Jiaojiao could answer, there was a scream of pain from inside the ancestral hall,
"Tan Ji, you devil! Tan Ji!!! Ah~~!!!"

Shouts of pain piercing the bone marrow echoed in front of the ancestral hall, causing Sheng Jiaojiao and Qi Rong to tremble in their hearts.

The vassal soldier didn't know what he had experienced inside, and his screams made people's hair stand on end.

Gradually, the screams in the ancestral hall stopped, Er Gouzi suddenly opened the door, rushed out from the dark ancestral hall, threw up on the pillar.

Qi Rong was a little scared. He looked at the door of the ancestral hall that was ajar, and then at the elder sister beside him. The elder sister was not afraid at all. He is now a man, so naturally he can't be afraid.

So Qi Rong straightened out his chest, and refused to move his place even half a step.

After a while, Er Gouzi finished vomiting, and Tan Ji also opened the door and came out, holding a white silk handkerchief in his hand, and was wiping the thin knife in his hand.

When he crossed the threshold, Tan Ji raised his head, and saw Sheng Jiaojiao waiting in front of the ancestral hall with his cold eyes, the ice and snow in his eyes melted, he put the thin knife in his hand into his wrist and tied his sleeve, and walked forward, using Wiping his fingers with a handkerchief, he asked:
"Jiao Niang hasn't left yet?"

Qi Rong looked at Tan Ji with some scalp numbness, and for some reason, he only felt that the fake brother-in-law standing in front of him was a little creepy.

Sheng Jiaojiao beside him frowned and asked:
"Have you hired?"

"Recruited, and there are comrades nearby, I will go to gather and transfer troops."

Tan Ji said lightly, since the other party has already locked Sheng Jiaojiao's residence, naturally they will not just send a wave of dead men over.

The subordinate state knew that Sheng Jiaojiao was Tan Ji's unmarried wife and Qi Zhang's younger sister, so as long as Sheng Jiaojiao made things difficult for Tan Ji and Qi Zhang, it would be worth sending as many soldiers as possible.

Standing on the steps, Sheng Jiaojiao gave way to allow Tan Ji to pass by. She turned her head and looked at the gate of the ancestral hall that was opened on one side.

"Don't look at it, it will scare you."

Tan Ji's voice sounded in front of Sheng Jiaojiao, and she suddenly turned her head to look at Tan Ji's eyebrows.

He had already walked in front of her and stopped again, his eyes were full of worry and concern at the moment.

Sheng Jiaojiao curbed her curiosity, lowered her head slightly, and saluted Tan Ji with a blessing,
"Ji Lang, let's go, I should go back too."

After getting her guarantee, Tan Ji left the ancestral hall quickly and dispatched troops to encircle and suppress the dead soldiers hiding near Huangtu Village.

I don't know how many dead soldiers the subordinate country sent to sneak in. Tan Ji didn't return overnight, and there was a lot of turmoil. The three villages near Tiaoma Lake, the militia team received the news again, and took Huangtu Village as the key protection, guarding them layer by layer. patrol.

Now the Qi family doesn't have to wonder why Sheng Jiaojiao seldom goes to the market, they wish she could stay at home all day, and it's best not to go anywhere.

After emphasizing the seriousness of the matter, the Qi family quickly invited people from the village to build a small house for Mrs. Tan and Uncle Tan near the stables.

Since the vassal states have sent soldiers to kill Sheng Jiaojiao, they might not have sent soldiers to kill Uncle Tan and Mrs. Tan.

So since it has been decided before, if you want to repair the house for the Tan family, it is better to hit the sun than to choose a day, and directly leave Mrs. Tan and Uncle Tan at Qi's house.

The house cannot be repaired in one day, so the Qi family let Uncle Tan and Mrs. Tan live in Qi Ming's house first.

Anyway, Qi Ming rarely came back.

Just two days after this incident, Sheng Jiaojiao was arranging house repairs at home, when Qi Zhou's elder brother, Uncle Zhou, came to Huangtu Village and found Zhou.

Looking at the Qi family's yard which was being rested, Uncle Zhou frowned and looked at Mrs. Qi Zhou who was sitting beside him, and said:
"My sister, I'm not talking about you. Now that your family is well-off, you don't associate with the Zhou family. What's the reason? How can there be such relatives?"

Mrs. Zhou just came back from Nanji, and now she is covered in sweat. Hearing what Uncle Zhou said, she explained,

"It's not that we don't hang out, it's that we really don't have time to spare. Brother, you can see how busy the Qi family is now. In a sentence in the book, what is this called? A waste of time is waiting to be done."

That's probably what it means. Since last year, which one of the Qi family has not been busy?Everyone is busy, isn't it just for a few money?
Because there is money to be made, everyone is very motivated, and those relatives are naturally less and less, because there is really no time.

Faced with Zhou's explanation, Uncle Zhou was very dissatisfied. He looked towards the aisle outside the main room and said angrily:

"The last time your sister-in-law offended Jiao Niang, she didn't allow your sister-in-law to come to Qi's house again. Now that it's been so long, it's not worth doing. You must treat your relatives' face like this absolutely. , I know you're trying to excuse Jiao Niang, but sister, our blood is thicker than water, and which of the things your sister-in-law said was not for your consideration, nor for Zhang'er's consideration?"

He paused, then looked outside the main room, making sure that Sheng Jiaojiao couldn't hear what he said, so he said in a low voice:
"Jiao Niang is going to get married soon. Have you ever thought about who will be in charge of the Qi family after she gets married? Although your sister-in-law was rejected by you, she is worried about you and Zhang Zhang every day and night. Son, sister, it’s time to think about it now.”

"Brother, what you said. You can't say it again in the future."

Mrs. Zhou turned her head and looked outside the hall, fearing that someone might overhear what Uncle Zhou said, she frowned, then looked at her elder brother with a bit of condemnation,

"I know you are thinking about me and Zhang'er, but these considerations are really unnecessary. The Qi family's account is very clear. Erlang will check the account every month when he comes back, and send the account book to Dalang every month. Jiaojiao Even if my son is married, she will still be in charge of the Qi family."

From this matter, one can see Qi Ming's excellence. Qi Ming is really too shrewd, so he knows that the more money-hunting families do business, the more meticulously they must check their accounts.

After being so meticulous that every copper coin is counted, no matter how dirty others are, and no matter how much they want to slander Sheng Jiaojiao, there will be no reason to slander her.

Every house in the Qi family was paid for, and even the old lady Qi also paid for the capital. In addition to the capital and profit, everyone in the Qi family will get a corresponding salary for doing something.

Do more, get more, do less, get less
