Chapter 131

"Jiaojiao, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know that my aunt and uncle would treat you like this, I'm sorry, Jiaojiao, you beat me and scolded me, no, you can kill me, I'm sorry."

Niu Ju squeezed over, she and Qi Zhang squeezed Tan Ji all the way back, the squeezed Tan Ji could only stand up, there was no place to sit.

Sheng Jiaojiao was sandwiched between Qi Zhang and Niu Ju, asking for warmth, her thoughts were chaotic, she raised her eyes to look at Tan Ji, he was holding a bowl in his hand, and his usually calm eyes were also looking at her, focused and full of emotion. An indescribable lingering.

The eyes of the two intertwined in the air for a moment, and then they both moved to other places, trying to cover up the throbbing in their hearts.

"The law and order here in Nanji really needs to be rectified. Let's take this opportunity to clean up Nanji."

As Qi Zhang said, he raised his head to look at Tan Ji. There was a cold light in Tan Ji's eyes, and he nodded slightly.
"It should be rectified."

Sheng Jiaojiao looked at Qi Zhang and Tan Ji left and right, thought for a while with his still a little dizzy head, and asked:

"Have Jilang and elder brother been promoted again?"

"Your elder brother is now the front wing leader of Jumping Horse Lake."

Qi Zhang, who was sitting by the bed, raised his hand and touched Sheng Jiaojiao's head, his eyes were full of distress, and he said:

"From now on, Jiao Jiaoer can walk across the entire north of the county."

Because the battle was not bad, the pensions of the dead soldiers and the military pay of the active soldiers were clearly arranged, and the wing commander of Nanji took the initiative to submit a letter of recommendation to the commander-in-chief, to be under Tan Ji's command.

Not for anything else, but because the few military camps in Nanji had no money to pay the soldiers, and the wing commanders in Nanji couldn't sustain it anymore.

During this period of time, the battle in the north of the county was repeatedly reported, and the commander-in-chief also understood the difficulties in the north of the county. He turned a blind eye and just registered the captured women on the list of spoils and sent them to the king of the county. Once handed over, there is no mention of gold, silver and jewelry in a word.

The matter was suppressed from the commander-in-chief in this way, which caused the four barracks under Tan Ji's command to be rich, and the small court in Zhishou County couldn't reach out.

Chief Yi of Nanji had long been envious of the rich life of the soldiers in the north of the county. Before Sheng Jiaojiao's incident happened, he wanted to surrender his status and join Tan Ji's command.

This time, before Tan Ji and Qi Zhang went to the Southern Settlement, the commander-in-chief happened to send [-] more troops to the north of the county. Tan Ji was promoted to be the chief envoy, Qi Zhang served as the front wing commander, Qin Wa served as the rear wing commander, and Bai Tao escorted the "little nobleman" Go to the imperial capital, keep the position for the time being, and discuss it after returning to the north of the county.

And Qi Ming served as the battalion commander, and he was stationed at the jumping horse lake.

Thirty-six thousand soldiers plus militiamen from the six villages of Nanji and Jishang were dispatched by the chief envoy Tan Ji.

So Nanji Wing Commander took advantage of Sheng Jiaojiao's kidnapping, led the four barracks of Nanji, and asked to be demoted for help.

All of a sudden, Sheng Jiaojiao's identity changed from a mere fiancée of Chief Yi to the fiancée of the chief envoy and sister of Chief Yi.

Not to mention that her second elder brother has also been promoted to battalion commander now, and Qin Wa, the master of her elder brother Qi Zhang, has also become the rear wing commander.

In the entire Tiaoma Lake, no, in the entire north of the county, there is no more beautiful girl than Sheng Jiaojiao, except for the abandoned prince's family.

But now, the abandoned prince's family is guarded by Qi Ming layer by layer, any servant of the prince's residence must notify Qi Ming if he wants to come in or out.

Duanmin, the deposed prince and the deposed concubine are even more consciously unwilling to step out of the prince's mansion. Even if they want to be in the limelight, they can't.

"I see that you stay in the village all day and don't come out for a walk, so why not take this opportunity to take a good look around Nanji and don't worry about your family. I have already sent someone to tell the family, the old lady and Auntie will also come to Nanji to accompany you."

Qi Zhang patted Sheng Jiaojiao's hand, feeling very distressed for her, fearing that she would be unhappy if something like this happened to her, so he wanted her to spend more time in Nanji.Hearing that grandma and grandma are going to come to Nanji, Sheng Jiaojiao thought about it, then nodded in agreement and stayed in Nanji for the time being.

Now the breeding of sweat blood horses has been on the right track. As the weather turns hotter, sweat blood grass has also grown up, and the fields have begun to sow seeds. If the manure retting in Qi's cesspit is used for fertilization, the harvest of crops should be good .

There is no need for Sheng Jiaojiao to personally do the things in the village. She just needs to wait for the school, Qi's house, and Tan's house to be built before going back to inspect and accept them.

The family set up a car with a hard-earned BMW, and it was very fast from Nanji to Huangtu Village.

Only half an hour later, Miss Qi, Mrs. Qi, and two young girls who were in charge of serving arrived at the Nanji Army Camp.

The two wives of the Qi family were made of water, and when they saw Sheng Jiaojiao, they hugged her and cried loudly.

Seeing Niu Ju sitting in the tent all the time, Mrs. Qi felt very uncomfortable and blamed:

"What on earth is there in our Qi family that can't do you any favors against your Niu family? You actually want to hurt me like this? If there is something wrong with my Jiaojiaer, I don't want to live anymore. Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooolfs.

Niu Ju shook her head guiltily, just raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and didn't make any excuses.

On the contrary, Sheng Jiaojiao couldn't bear to see this appearance, she managed to persuade her grandma and grandma, and asked the soldiers in the barracks to arrange for the two of them to rest in the barracks. Regarding the situation of the Zhou family and the Xiong family.

Niu Ju said that she had just received the news that her father had entrusted someone who could read and write in the assembly to write a letter of divorce to her mother.

"Originally, what my aunt meant was to take me away with me, directly dragged to Nanji, and sell it to that South County merchant with you. It would be counted as buy one get one free, and it would cost a lot of money, but Second Brother Qi The group of drifters from Nanji were stopped, and my father knew about it, and knew that it was impossible to keep my mother."

The only girl in the Niu family is Niu Ju, and Niu Yuan is definitely worried about Niu Ju marrying far away, not to mention that the life of the Niu family is not bad now, and the wild vegetables in the field alone earn a lot of money every day.

Therefore, after knowing that Xiong Lin's vision is so short-sighted and her heart is not good, she simply divorced Xiong Lin to relieve her hatred.

After listening to Niu Ju's words, Sheng Jiaojiao was silent for a long time before she took Niu Ju's hand and asked:

"Niu Ju, do you blame me?"

Niu Ju shook her head, reached out and hugged Sheng Jiaojiao's waist, her eyes were red with tears,

"Brother Qi has already sent my aunt back to Huangshi Village. My uncle has been sent to the army. Jiaojiao, this is already the greatest tolerance for my aunt. Really, it is much more tolerant than I imagined."

She thought she would die. After all, everyone knew Sheng Jiaojiao's status in the Qi family, so Niu Ju thought that A Niang must be dead this time.

So Niu Ju didn't have any resentment towards Sheng Jiaojiao, she only felt guilty.

Sheng Jiaojiao stopped talking, just patted Niu Ju's head, sighed deeply,
"It's the time of spring plowing. I don't have much to do here. You can go back with my elder brother after a while."

Now that the incident has happened, and the Zhou family and the Xiong family have learned their lesson, everyone should go back to their respective tracks.

Now that Yin Ze is alive or dead, and what will happen in the future, Sheng Jiaojiao has no end in sight.

But no matter how out of control the future is, it is good to have more money, stockpile food, and prepare troops.

So Sheng Jiaojiao urged Niu Ju to go back to plant the land, while she brought her grandma and grandma, changed into men's clothes, and wandered around in the South Collection, so she understood people's livelihood.

Qi Zhang went back to the north of the county, and before leaving, he deliberately left Tan Xiaojian behind, Tan Ji also had a lot of work to do, so he also sent Zheng Ling to stay together to protect Sheng Jiaojiao.

The southern market is much more lively than the upper market, because last year's battle was good, and this year every family has some spare money, and the business of the small stalls and hawkers in the southern market has improved a lot.

Holding a folding fan in her hand, Sheng Jiaojiao led her grandma and grandma along with a few frontier soldiers, walked around the street, and met Etuo.

Etuo and a few shopkeepers set up a row of stalls on the side of the street. Sheng Jiaojiao walked over, looked at them with a smile for a while, and then looked at the row of sachets on the stall.

These sachets were not much different from those embroidered by Wenxiu and the others, but the patterns were a bit older.

So Sheng Jiaojiao took out a Wenxiu embroidered sachet and said to E Tuo:

"I didn't think about it at first, so you are also in the sachet business. Would Mr. E accept such a sachet?"

Etuo looked at Sheng Jiaojiao in men's clothing standing in front of him, said "Ouch", and hurriedly came out from behind the stall, cupping his hands,
"I don't know if it's Jiao Niang who has come, but someone is far away to welcome her."

Looking at the flower-shaped sachet in Sheng Jiaojiao's hand, he felt strange,
"I've never seen such a sachet before, and the flowers look pretty. How many of these do Niang Jiao have?"

With just one glance, Etuo, who is very business-minded, concluded that if such a sachet was sold in Nanjun, it would be very popular with girls and wives.

"A lot."

Sheng Jiaojiao gave the sachet in her hand to E Tuo, and the two moved to a tea shop not far away, and began to talk about business.

Etuo's sachets are all purchased from Nanjun and sold in Zhishou County. In terms of embroidery, they are indeed not much different from Sheng Jiaojiao's sachet rusters.

But the sachet in Sheng Jiaojiao's hands is better than the pretty design.

In the tea shop, E Tuo looked over the sachet in his hand and asked:
"I've never seen this kind of flower before. I always feel that it's very beautiful. How can I say it?"

"Is there a kind of extravagance and luxury like an imperial capital?"

Holding the tea in her hand, Sheng Jiaojiao looked at E Tuo with a smile, seeing E Tuo nod hastily, she said:

"I drew the pattern myself."

Her empress for more than ten years was not for nothing. Under the influence of her ears and eyes, even a cold and ascetic person would be influenced by the luxury of the imperial capital to give off a grand and noble atmosphere.

This is directly reflected in her pen and ink, where simple patterns are presented by colorful silk threads, whether it is a sachet or embroidery, they all look elegant and luxurious.

E Tuo hurriedly said:

"Aside from the sachet, Jiao Niang has other embroidery items? No matter what kind of embroidery items they are, we will accept them."

"That's good. From now on, I, the embroiderers in Zhishou County, will have another way to survive."

Sheng Jiaojiao at the table said happily that she used to only do business with noble mansions in Jishang, and there were only hundreds of servants around the abandoned prince, so how much demand could there be.

Now selling embroidery to Etuo has opened up the market of the entire eighteen counties of Daze, and the demand has surged.

Sheng Jiaojiao quickly organized it in her mind, and decided to go back to Huangtu Village as soon as tonight. She wanted to find Wenxiu to recruit embroiderers and supply them to Etuo.

At this time, Mrs. Qi and Miss Qi came over and said they were going to go to the fair.

Before leaving, Sheng Jiaojiao specifically asked Miss Qi to find out if there were any shops in Nanji for sale.

E Tuo listened, smiled and said:

"Jiao Niang's business is getting bigger and bigger, and now she's going to buy a shop in Nanji."

"Our family has a large population. In the past two days, my brother has brought back many children, not only adults, but also a few widowed mothers. There is no way but to find more businesses to support these people."

Sheng Jiaojiao held a folded folding fan in her hand, looked at her palm, and sighed again:
"The bigger the battle, the bigger the burden."

Those children had stayed at Qi's family for training, and the widowed mothers were temporarily placed in Huangguo Village to dig out the Tan family's land.

Mrs. Tan mentioned this incident not long ago. She only said that Tan Ji’s grandparents, in fact, the Tan family’s family is not bad, and they left a lot of land, almost the entire Huangguo Village near Huangtu Village. They all belong to the Tan family.

But because it is a wasteland, no one has planted it since Grandpa Tan Ji's generation.

Sheng Jiaojiao measured the area, and if she planted all of Tan Ji's and Qi's land, there would be a seamless connection between Huangguo Village and Huangtu Village.

So she sent the widowed mothers that Qi Zhang brought home to dig the ground.

"What is Jiao Niang talking about? If she is an ordinary leader, I'm afraid she won't care about these orphans and widowed mothers at all, but Jiao Niang is very kind."

E Tuo in front of the wooden window looked admiring, and kept bowing his hands to Sheng Jiaojiao, and volunteered again,
"We shopkeepers who walk around the streets are the most well-informed. If Jiao Niang needs it, let alone the shops in Nanji, even if the shops in Shanqing City want to buy or sell, we can also receive news."

"That would be great."

As Sheng Jiaojiao spoke, he toasted Etuo with tea instead of wine, and the two chatted a lot about the business in Zhishou County.

During this period, Tan Xiaojian came in a hurry and stood outside the tea shop, looking at Sheng Jiaojiao with a hesitant expression on his face.

She got up and left the tea shop, and asked in a low voice:
"What's the matter?"

"The merchant surnamed Wang was captured by the officer."

The merchant surnamed Wang he was talking about spent five hundred gold to buy Sheng Jiaojiao.

Hearing this, Sheng Jiaojiao stood under the flag of the tea shop and asked in a cold voice:
"How does your brother treat him?"

"The officer has already beheaded him."

In Zhishou County, as long as he has military power in his hands, he is indistinguishable. A mere merchant does not need to verify any conclusive evidence, and he does not need to report to anyone. If he is in the north of the county, Tan Ji will kill him immediately.

Sheng Jiaojiao nodded, looked down and said:
"Where is your elder brother doing business, I will go and see with you."

After finishing speaking, she walked back to the tea shop and told E Tuo that she wanted to go first.
