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

Chapter 77 Darkness Chen Cang
According to the contract, Sheng Jiaojiao needs to deliver a certain amount of luggage to the military camp every time, and the medicinal materials in the woods and the medicinal materials in the medicinal field planted by Mrs. Qi San are actually enough for two military camps. need.

But it doesn't matter, there is still a part in the soil depression, and the medicinal materials picked by Niu Ju alone are enough for the needs of the other two barracks.

Also on the same day, Mrs. Xiu came to work as usual, the Enlightenment School started as usual, and Mrs. Qi San went to the market to do business as usual after finishing her work.

And the three uncles of the Qi family brought Qi Rong together, bought five mules in total last night, and returned with one donkey.

The money to buy the livestock was all paid from the account of Qi’s family.
Including the three mules that Qi Ming brought back, and the mule that Tan Ji gave to Qi Rong before, the family had a total of nine mules and one donkey.

The three uncles of the Qi family, together with Niu Yuan, formed a small escort team.

All four of them have been retired soldiers for 15 years. Among them, Niu Yuan is a scout with 15 years of service experience, Qi Ada has been a cavalry soldier for 15 years, and Qi Ada has been an infantry soldier for 15 years. Qi Asan's combat effectiveness is not as good as The two elder brothers have been postmen for 15 years.

The man has been busy all day, cleaning the mules and donkeys, and feeding them with grain and grass, so that they are full.

There are so many mules crammed into a small shed, it's not enough to put them there, not to mention that half of the Qi family's shed is occupied by straw paper dried by Mrs. Qi.

Just taking advantage of free time, the three masters of the Qi family, together with Niu Yuan who offered to help, discussed building another animal on the edge of the medicine field of the Qi family with the wood that Tan Ji and the others cut down yesterday. shed.

It turned out that the small shed of the Qi family was simply given up to be used by Mrs. Qi to dry straw paper.

The area required for the newly reorganized medicine field and the newly erected barn was too large, so several masters made a plan and demolished the fence of the Qi family's yard, completely dividing the barn and the medicine field.

The commotion was too loud, but the Qi family has been in the limelight recently in the village, so no one jumped out to say anything.

Only people heard that Sheng Jiaojiao hired both Niu Ju and Niu Yuan's father and daughter. For a while, they looked at Sheng Jiaojiao differently.

Xiong Lin, in particular, was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. Within two days, when the man in the family went to the north of the county to deliver the luggage, she mentioned the two pieces of bacon that Mrs. Tan had given her to the Qi family. Said it was for Sheng Jiaojiao.

Sheng Jiaojiao didn't even bother to go out to deal with her, when Qi Rong told her, she was leaning on the kang, looking at the tricks that Wenxiu sent her.

She asked Wenxiu to sit on the kang, but Wenxiu didn't dare, so she directly picked up Zhang Mudun and sat under the kang, Sheng Jiaojiao looked down at her and said nothing.

He looked at Qi Rong who came in with two bacon, and asked:

"You didn't say I was home, did you?"

"No, how can I say that?"

With a smile on his face, Qi Zhi looked at Sheng Jiaojiao, stretched out the two pieces of bacon in his hand, and asked:

"Where is this bacon hanging?"

"Send it back to her. Are we short of two pieces of bacon for her?"

Sheng Jiaojiao, who was sitting crookedly, flipped through the flowers in her hand, snorted, and somewhat looked down on the gift from Xiong Lin.

It wasn't because the gift was too light, but from Niu Ju's mouth, Sheng Jiaojiao knew that their family now only had two pieces of bacon, which were given back by Tan Ji's aunt, Mrs. Tan.

It was given to Tan Ji and Niu Ju in order to marry him.

Therefore, when Sheng Jiaojiao looked at the two bacon sent by Xiong Lin, it was quite an eyesore.

Qi Rong said "Oh", and went out again with two pieces of bacon, and brought the bacon back to Niu's house.

This Xiong Lin is also a wonderful person, seeing that Qi Rong brought her back the bacon, instead of feeling uneasy, she smiled happily, praising Sheng Jiaojiao for her generosity and kindness, and happily hung the bacon back on the beam.

She didn't feel that Sheng Jiaojiao was insulting her at all.

Qi Rong stood outside the fence, scratching his head.

He turned around and entered Sheng Jiaojiao's room again, and told Sheng Jiaojiao about Xiong Lin's reaction, which made Sheng Jiaojiao smile "puchi".

Qi Rong asked puzzledly:
"Sister, what's so funny about this?"

"Isn't it funny? This Niu Niangzi is really interesting. She has no intention of giving me a sincere gift at all. I'm afraid that if I give me two pieces of bacon, I will be in pain."

Sheng Jiaojiao spread out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, changed Wenxiu's appearance on the small table, and glanced at Wenxiu who was sitting at the foot, saw that Wenxiu was also smiling with lowered eyebrows, so she asked with a smile:

"How does Madam Zhang feel?"

Wenxiu touched her stomach, covered her lips and said:
"Yes, otherwise this Niu Niangzi would not be so happy."

If an ordinary family gives a gift to the host and the gift is rejected, shouldn't you first think about whether you have offended the host?

On the contrary, the Niu Niangzi still looked very happy, and she happily saved two pieces of bacon for herself. She never thought about why Sheng Jiaojiao asked Qi Rong to return her two pieces of bacon.

To put it bluntly, it is lack of heart.

People who are short-hearted don't have to worry too much about her.

Sheng Jiaojiao shook her head with a smile, handed the newly modified pattern to Wenxiu, and asked Qi Rong to make tea, and then said to Wenxiu:

"The few silk handkerchiefs you embroidered last time, we still need some at home. I heard from my second wife that you still have some stock in your house. Can you give us all these stock?"

Before Wenxiu could speak, Sheng Jiaojiao said again:

"I don't take advantage of you. Although you sew clothes for our family now, we are paid daily wages, but this is only limited to the salary you make clothes for our family. If you have other embroiderers For the goods, we will collect them by the piece, and the money will be paid separately."

Hearing this, Wen Xiu raised her head abruptly, her lips moved slightly, she looked at Sheng Jiaojiao with hope in her eyes,

"Jiaoniang, if... If I embroider more, the quality of the embroidery is equally good, can I charge more? I mean, I mean."

As she spoke, she suddenly got off the pier, her knees softened, and she knelt directly at Sheng Jiaojiao's feet, crying with a white face:
"Jiao Niang, Jiao Niang, I have two older sisters, their embroidery skills are much better than mine, Jiao Niang."

If it is not finished, the meaning has already been exhausted.

Wenxiu wanted Sheng Jiaojiao to accept the embroidery work done by her two prostitute sisters.

Having said that, Wenxiu took a great risk, she was already prepared, Sheng Jiaojiao would reprimand her for not knowing the seriousness, or she would quit her job directly.

Wenxiu had thought about these consequences.

Daze, slaves are not allowed to do business, if you let others know that the embroidery you use is from a prostitute, the buyer and the middleman who dealt with it will think it is dirty, I am afraid that these two prostitutes will be punished cudgel.

On the kang, Sheng Jiaojiao was sitting crookedly, with an embroidered pillow under her elbow. She quietly looked at Wenxiu who was kneeling at her feet. When Wenxiu was almost crying, she said slowly:

"You sent the embroidery. I don't know who made it. I only know that it was all done by you. If there is any problem in the future, it will be your responsibility to go to the buyer and apologize. It has nothing to do with me."

"Thank you Jiao Niang, thank you Jiao Niang."

Wenxiu's belly was big, but she kowtowed to Sheng Jiaojiao again and again, her forehead hit the ground with a "bang bang bang", it was indeed a solid kowtow.

Compared with Xiong Lin's two pieces of bacon, they are much more sincere.

Sheng Jiaojiao sat up straight, lowered her eyes and said:

"Get up, you don't need to tell Er Niangzi about this matter, one less person will know about it, and less people will be involved."

Although the second lady Qi is very courageous, she is still much younger than Sheng Jiaojiao, and she dare not do such a secret thing.

Therefore, there is no need to teach Er Niang Qi to know.

Wenxiu answered again and again, wiped her tears and got up, Sheng Jiaojiao was generous, as long as her two elder sisters embroidered a few more embroidery jobs, redeemed the slave registration and household registration in the hands of their mothers, and would rely on embroidery to make a living in the north of the county in the future, definitely not question.

Thinking of this, Wenxiu is full of hope for her future life.

She especially glanced at Sheng Jiaojiao gratefully.

Sheng Jiaojiao turned her body indifferently, and looked for a book to read.

"Go to work if you have nothing to do, I want to be quiet here for a while."

Wenxiu thanked her a lot and left with her new appearance, which was very useful to Sheng Jiaojiao.

After another day like this, Niu Yuan and Qi's three men went through these days of exploring the road and careful planning, and determined a fixed route for transporting luggage, and reported it to Sheng Jiaojiao.

In the Qi family hall, Niu Yuan said:

"We have sent luggage to the north of the county several times. This route is currently the most concealed and safest, but it is a long detour."

Sheng Jiaojiao sat in the main room, unfolded the map of Zhishou County, carefully looked at the route for transporting luggage, and then ordered Qi Rong to take out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from her room, and carefully studied the terrain of the country on the map. I added a few strokes.

She laughed:
"It doesn't matter if you are farther away, the main thing is safety. When you are safe, the luggage is safe. If the luggage is safe, the two barracks in the north of the county will have no worries."

The map was given by Niu Yuan, who has worked as a scout in Zhishou County for 15 years, and is quite familiar with the border terrain.

The route was also set by Niu Yuan.

He smiled and cupped his hands at Sheng Jiaojiao,

"This is natural, and you know the severity. Even if you lose your life, you can't lose the baggage of the barracks. For this reason, I have prepared several routes. After a while, we will change to another route and keep it safe." The spies of the church kingdom can't figure out our way."

The subordinate country can't figure out the way of Qi Zhang and Tan Ji now, even the people in Huangtu Village, I'm afraid they don't know that the Qi family is delivering supplies for the military camp.

Everyone thought that the Qi family made a fortune because of Qi Zhang's victory in the battle and gained its prestige, Qi Ming made money as a shopkeeper outside, and the second wife of Qi started to do business again.
It's just that no one thought that the Qi family could still make money from the military camp, and they made a lot of money.

For what Niu Yuan said, Sheng Jiaojiao took it very seriously, she carefully looked at the map in her hand,

"The vassal state is closely connected with Zhishou County. We can't just have the map of Zhishou County. We still need to find out the terrain of the vassal state's border. When necessary, we can also take the route of the vassal state."

Niu Yuan was embarrassed, he thought his request was high enough, but he didn't know that Sheng Jiaojiao was much more cautious than him.

He is naturally familiar with the terrain of the subordinate country. He has been scouting for 15 years, and he has gone deep into the territory of the subordinate country several times. He can walk many roads, but he can't draw them. The map presented to Sheng Jiaojiao is still the old map of his family decades ago. .

Therefore, there are still many small roads and shortcuts on the map, which he knows, but they have not been drawn.

Seeing the embarrassment on Niu Yuan's face, Sheng Jiaojiao said with a smile:
"It's okay, I have time to get you a map of the country."

Sheng Jiaojiao had seen the map of the whole territory of the subordinate country, not only had she seen it, but she had also studied the maps of the four countries around Daze carefully for a period of time while she was in the deep palace.

Because life is so boring.

After Yin Ze noticed Sheng Jiaojiao's control over power and the deep influence of the court, he gradually stopped coming to her palace.

Compared with being gentle with a masked woman who is evenly matched with him, he would rather be in the palace of a noble concubine who is more gentle and pleasant, and who still has a bit of infatuation for him.

But the imperial concubine may not be less ambitious about power
Niu Yuan smiled and looked at the map Sheng Jiaojiao handed over, nodded and said:

"What Jiao Niang thinks about is that our team has a heavy responsibility, so we should be more careful, and the map of the country is prepared."

"Don't be too nervous."

Sheng Jiaojiao sat upright and said in a low voice:
"At present, the luggage in the barracks is not enough. If there is a disturbance in the north of the county, the imperial capital will have to react. At that time, the luggage in the imperial capital will be the key point. We, who are small and troublesome, will just look for supplements for the imperial capital's luggage. .”

She is just habitual, and she must be the most meticulous when doing things. In fact, it is only such a small amount of side dishes and medicinal materials, which may not attract the attention of the subordinate country at all.

Niu Yuan and the three uncles of the Qi family all nodded, and Sheng Jiaojiao gave them a few more instructions, and the four of them took up their weapons and set off again with eight mules.

The donkey is at home, together with the mule that is equal to the radius, and now there are some jobs at home that need to use the donkey and the mule.

The day is going on as usual, and all the villages in Jumping Horse Lake have been unsealed. On the surface, it seems that their vigilance has been let down.

In fact, there are more and more things about the militia.

Wenxiu from Huangguo Village came to work as usual, bringing one or two pieces of embroidery every day to sell to Mrs. Qi Er.

Second Lady Qi was a little suspicious, after all, no matter how fast Wenxiu's hands were, she couldn't embroider a silk handkerchief every day, let alone Wenxiu was working at Qi's house all day long.

But because the nobles came to the gathering, and the nobles brought hundreds of servants, these more than 100 people formed a huge demand market, so the embroidery in the hands of Qi Er Niangzi was quite popular.

For Zhishou County, the price of a pair of embroidery is already considered high, but for the servants of the emperor's house in the imperial capital, the price of these embroidery is actually not that expensive.

Moreover, the embroidery in Mrs. Qi's hand is the best in Zhishou County in comparison.

No matter how good the request is, there is no more.

Mrs. Qi Er made money, even though she was suspicious of the embroidery that Wenxiu brought out, she didn't say anything.

Just like Sheng Jiaojiao pretending to be stupid, Second Lady Qi only thought of these embroideries, all of which were embroidered by Wenxiu.
