Chapter 30 Money or no money?

Cen Yuwei turned around and saw a village woman in her twenties walking towards her.

In the hands of the village woman, she was still holding a new quilt.

"The matter of the settlement sounds like a headache, so I'll come out to get some air." Cen Yuwei smiled and greeted her, "Are you drying the quilt?

"Yes." The village woman walked to the bamboo frame next to her, waved her hand to hang up the quilt, and then smiled with Cen Yuwei, "It rained the past two days, and the quilt got a little damp. Come out to bask in the sun. Otherwise, the cold will condense, and it will be a pity for these new bedding."

At this point, the village woman couldn't help but pause.

She seemed to realize that she had said something she shouldn't have said, she twitched the corners of her mouth, and said with a dry smile: "My lord, don't joke, it's like this in our mountains, a quilt has to be dried and used repeatedly..."

"How could it be?" Cen Yuwei glanced quickly over the corner of the village woman's stiff mouth, but the words on her lips were extremely natural, "The quilt needs to be warmed in the sun to be comfortable to sleep on, and my family often does this."

"Yes, yes..." Seeing that she didn't notice her inappropriate words, the village woman couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

After drying the quilt, she quickly took the initiative to change the subject: "It's hot today, and I'm afraid you'll be thirsty if you keep drying like this. Why don't you...the woman go get you a glass of water?"

"Okay." Cen Yuwei smiled and nodded.

After getting an affirmative answer, the village woman hurried away.And seeing her leave as if fleeing, Cen Yuwei's gaze inevitably followed her figure for a while.

She watched her step into the inner room, and at the same time, she also noticed a pair of tattered couplets by the door of the inner room.

After several months of wind and rain, the couplets are already very worn out.

The words on it are also somewhat blurred.

But after careful identification, the two sentences can still be read in full.

"Heaven and earth are in harmony, family brings wealth, peace and happiness make people happy..." Cen Yuwei recited the sentence on the couplet silently, and once again showed a thoughtful look.

Very ordinary couplets, not very talented, and the writing is so-so. At first glance, it is not written by a scholar who often writes.

It seems that the person who wrote this couplet should be a literate person in the village?
Spring Festival, such an important day, did you not spend money to ask scholars to write two pictures in the town?

However, they are obviously not very poor.

Not only are there a few new quilts, but a new set of dishes…

Why can afford these, but can't afford someone to write couplets?
It is clearly a simple backyard, but there are quite a few suspicious places...

...

"Thank you." After drinking the water and returning the cup, Cen Yuwei returned to the front hall.

At this time, King Han and Yun Mohan had almost finished chatting with Aunt Zhou, so they left the meal money, said goodbye and left.

After that, they visited several other families.

But the feedback I got was consistent with that of Mrs. Zhou's family.

All the villagers firmly stated that they didn't know anything about Wanminshu, and life was not very difficult. Everything was caused by Li Lu, a person who had a bad relationship with the village and the government.

Seeing that they couldn't find anything from the villagers, Cen Yuwei and his party simply went to the small courtyard where Li Lu lived before his death.

The small courtyard has always been guarded by silver armored guards, and the idlers are not allowed to approach it. The inside is naturally the original appearance.

Based on this reason, the moment she stepped into the yard, Cen Yuwei quickly made a judgment: "This Li Lu is a very tidy person."

But King Han shook his head and answered, "Miss Cen is wrong."
