Reborn Wangjia's little koi, reclaiming wasteland and farming to become the richest man

Chapter 17

The Tan family is not like the Qi family.

The Qi family is prosperous, accumulated over several generations, there are dozens of people at least, Huangtu Village has a small population, and almost every family is related, so the Qi family is considered a big family in Huangtu Village.

Compared with the Qi family, the population of the Tan family is pitifully small.

Fewer males means one less labor force, and the family luck has been lost little by little.

Sheng Jiaojiao sighed silently, and asked Qi Rong to carry a basket of vegetables first, and go to Tan Ji's house.

Although the Qi family and the Tan family are two villages, Huangtu Village, Huangguo Village, and Huangshi Village are connected in the same spirit. The three villages live together in Tiaoma Lake and are not far apart.

Qi Rong has been a good spear dancer since he was a child. He has a very strong body and his feet are fast. He walks back and forth very quickly.

After he came back, he put all the side dishes on the cart, and the cart was full of vegetables.

Sheng Jiaojiao found him a piece of black cloth and covered the vegetables on the cart, so as not to ask any acquaintances on the way to Jishang.

"Now the militia in the village are patrolling outside. Let's not let people find out about our vegetable sales. If someone asks what you are dragging in your cart, you will say it is wild vegetables."

She told Qi Rong that this fresh and tender vegetable was indeed grown from the wild, so it would be appropriate to say that it is a wild vegetable.

In Zhishou County, where the loess is all over the sky, it is not that there are no wild vegetables growing, but if you look for them, you have to spend a lot of effort to find wild vegetables, and you may not be able to find a basket.

So Sheng Jiaojiao added another sentence,
"People want to ask you why you sell so many wild vegetables, and you just say that besides wild vegetables, there are some crops, and you can sell everything in disorder, and there are so many."

"Sister, no one will ask. No one in the militia doesn't know me. I'm not a suspicious person. It's not like our family has dragged wheat to the fair in previous years."

"That's when the harvest is good. Look at the past few years, the wind and sand have been so strong that they can sometimes bury people. Who can grow so much wheat in the field and sell it?"

Sheng Jiaojiao stretched out her slender fingers, poked Qi Rong's forehead, and said:
"It's always right to be careful. We are a vegetable field given by God. If you let others know, they will come to grab our family's vegetables. Not to mention that uncle's medicine money has not been paid, even your little Tie The sword is also lost."

Frightened by Sheng Jiaojiao, Qi Rong's face was full of seriousness, he immediately shook his head and said:

"I'm careful, I just need to be more careful. I see people in the distance, so I just avoid them."

"Well, just be careful to avoid acquaintances."

Sheng Jiaojiao nodded and asked again:

"You just went to Tan's house to deliver food, Tan Ji should also go to the barracks."

She was busy with her work, and before Qi Rong could answer, she asked again with some uneasiness,

"Did you send those vegetables to his house? Don't leave them at the door. I don't know who picked them up later."

"It was delivered, and it was his aunt who picked up the food. I said my third sister asked me to deliver the food, and I asked where Brother Ji was. Mrs. Tan said that he went to the militia for a meeting last night, so I went straight back It's barracks."

Qi Rong answered honestly, without missing a single word.

It's just that he didn't know how to describe it. When Mrs. Tan heard that the vegetables in his basket were all given by Sheng Jiaojiao, the look in Mrs. Tan's eyes.

She seemed to be smiling, with a look of "everyone has been here, I understand".

Because Mrs. Tan's expression was too confusing for Qi Rong, Qi Rong didn't tell Sheng Jiaojiao.

Sheng Jiaojiao also asked,
"Miss Tan is not suspicious of anything, is she?"

"No, Mrs. Tan still smiled and said, oh, why is Jiao Niang so polite."

It was obviously a somewhat ambiguous tone, but when it was stated by Qi Rong, Tie Hanhan, it was very ordinary.

Sheng Jiaojiao nodded, seeing that the dishes on the trolley had been properly covered, she gave Qi Rong some instructions, sent him out, and told him to go back early.

Not long after Qi Rong left the house, Sheng Jiaojiao carried the earthenware pot on his back, changed the place and continued to sow small vegetable seeds and water.

She made up her mind that she couldn't just sprinkle water and grow vegetables in one place every time, so that a large crop of green vegetables could grow densely every day. No matter how naive Qi Rong was, he should be suspicious after a long time.

So she wants to shoot a bird with an arrow, and then change the place, and after another four or five days, she will return to this mountain to continue farming.

However, after she had been busy for half a day, she just wanted to go home to have a rest, when she found two people standing at the gate of the yard.

The leader was wearing a silver-blue round-neck brocade suit, standing outside the fence with a smile on his face.

Behind him stood a man from Huangshi Village next door.

This is Qu Chang, the Red Picking Envoy of the Prince's Mansion.

Sheng Jiaojiao's heart sank, she hugged the clay pot tightly, and stood still in the yard.

How did you meet Qu Zhang, the envoy of the Red Pickers here?
She obviously didn't go to the market anymore, she was the red picker she met in the market in her previous life.

Originally, Sheng Jiaojiao thought that as long as she avoided the envoy, she could avoid Yin Ze, but instead of going to Jishang, Qu Chang found her home.

Is it that no matter how she struggles, the first seed of fate will move towards her destined track?

At this moment, Sheng Jiaojiao felt his hands and feet were cold and dizzy.

It seems that everything is going nowhere.

"Is that what you said, the most handsome girl in Jumping Horse Lake?"

Eunuch Qu held a whisk in his hand, squinted at Sheng Jiaojiao with a high-pitched voice.

Although he wasn't wearing a eunuch's uniform, his tone of voice clearly revealed his femininity.

The man from Huangshi Village next door, with a flattering smile on his face, nodded and said:
"Yes, that's her. She looks the most beautiful in all the villages."

It seems that in order to please the deposed prince, this man made a special trip to take Sheng Jiaojiao as a favor and sold Sheng Jiaojiao.

"To shut up!"

Sheng Jiaojiao scolded coquettishly, pointed at the man in Huangshi Village, and said angrily:

"Where did you come from, a rascal, wait for my big brother to come back, me!"

Let big brother hack you!
Sheng Jiaojiao didn't say the latter words.

To kill is to pay with life.

If you want to kill, you can only do it secretly.

"Okay, girl don't need to get angry, our family is the red envoy of the nobleman's house, the nobleman has just come to this horse jumping lake, and the stewards in your collection are useless, and you can't even get two dancers with better colors. All right, our family will take a hard walk, take a look around in your poor countryside, find a few good-looking ones, and dance for the nobles."

Qu Chang spoke in a tone as if asking Sheng Jiaojiao to perform a dance for a nobleman was a gift to Sheng Jiaojiao.

These words made Sheng Jiaojiao angry enough, dance?
She dances for others?

Only other people have always performed dances for her, but now she is required to perform dances for others? !
