Chapter 41: Can they do this?

May 13, 2023Ai Hrist

Shi Qingluo's words made the faces of the old lady and the others even uglier.

The resentment and displeasure towards that woman became more and more intense.

If that woman was here, they will probably go forward and slap her a few times.

Mrs. Wang and her family couldn't hold back and they cursed in a low voice: "This little hoof wants to get the blessings alone. No wonder she keeps blocking us from going, damn it, a shameless vixen…"

Old Lady Xiao patted the table angrily: "There is still such a thing. She is just an orphan, but she wants to control all the good things of my son, I'll make her eat shit."

She hasn't enjoyed being a rich mother yet, but that little hoof does?

She asked Shi Qingluo: "Say, what should we do?"

After all, she was the disciple of the Old Immortal Master, so she must have a good way.

Shi Qingluo had long been waiting for the old lady to settle in: "You sold all the house and land of your family, and then bring all your money to the capital."

Old lady Xiao asked in puzzlement and disapproval: "What? Why do we have to sell the house and the land?"

Shi Qinglou thought to herself: Of course so that you won't be sent back to the village by those two villains in a short time.

But on the surface, she seemed to be thinking of the old lady and others.

"Only in this way, he can't drive you back, otherwise where will you live? What will you eat?"

"Could it be possible that the general will let his parents sleep on the street and starve to death?"

"If he dares to do this, you sue him."

"Even if you are forced to come back someday, let him give you money to buy new fields, and you have to double it."

"Let him build you the best house in the village, otherwise he will lose the face of the general."

"At that time, you will also earn double, but you won't lose money."

She encouraged again: "Anyway, when you go, you act like you are going all out. Whoever is ruthless will win."

Originally, Old Lady Xiao and the others disagreed, but after listening to Shi Qingluo's words, they found that it made a lot of sense.

With no houses or fields, how will they live when they come back?

No matter how ruthless Xiao Yuanshi was, it was impossible to let them be refugees, right?

If he chose to be ruthless, then they will sue him. At worst let him stop being general, anyway, they can't enjoy it, so it depends on who will be more ruthless. Hehehe.

Old Lady Xiao found that although this dead girl was not likable, she was able to come up with ideas.

"It makes sense, let's go back and discuss it."

As she spoke, she couldn't wait to get up and want to go back.

But Shi Qingluo held her back: "What is the old lady in a hurry for?"

"As soon as you go out now, Xing Hong will know what you want to do, and you will be exposed immediately."

"She is the spy left by that woman on your side, to encourage you to find my husband trouble, and specially monitored and tricked you into not going to the capital, and robbed her of the right to be the master of the house."

"Once your motives are exposed in advance, that woman will blow wind on the pillow and ask the general to prevent you from entering the capital."

Old Lady Xiao sat back again: "What should I do?"

"After all, Xinghong is serving me by my side. She will know that we are going to sell the house and land!"

Shi Qingluo gave you a silly look: "Then don't keep her!"

She came up with an idea: "You guys, when you go out, don't reveal that you are going to the capital."

"Pretend to be angry and curse."

"Tomorrow, let the first uncle or third uncle go to the county town to find a middleman and sell her directly, and bring someone to the village to drag her away so that she won't be exposed."

Old Lady Xiao and the others were shocked, can they do this?

No need to say it, it was feasible.

Shi Qingluo continued to instigate, "That girl looks good and has a good figure. She used to be the personal maid of the general's wife. If you sell her to the right place, you might earn a few dozen taels."

"If she learns your plan, she will stop you from enjoying your fortune and cut off your money. This is an enemy, and you must let your heart soft."

"If you sell people, you will earn money, and no one will get in your way, which is killing two birds with one stone."

Xing Hong instigated the main house to sell Xiao Baili to the Wu Family to marry and be buried with their young master.

She also participated in finding someone to bribe Doctor Shi to poison Xiao Hanzheng and even caused Xiao Hanyi to drown, which was an unforgivable crime.

So she will turn the table and encourage the top products of the main house to sell her, and let her taste the same medicine, and reap the consequences.

She made it very clear. Where can you sell beautiful people at a high price? Of course, in the brothel.

It was just a pity that the young master of the Wu Family was already dead, otherwise, she would encourage the old lady and others to send her to be buried with him.

Sure enough, Old Lady Xiao and the others showed signs of emotion: "We will think about it."

They said, but they have already decided to listen to Shi Qingluo inside their hearts.

To prevent Xing Hong from getting in their way.

Shi Qingluo went close to the old lady, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wu and taught them a lot of ways to deal with that woman and the scumbag father after they went to the capital.

For example, if that woman pretended to be weak and cried in front of the general, the old lady should cry even louder, and keep shouting that she had finally brought up her son, but when he married a wife, he forgot his mother.

Another example was if that woman wants to show one thing and cover another, and deduct their food and clothing, the old lady should take her two daughters-in-law to go outside to find people and cry.

It would be best if they go to tea shops or restaurants where there were many people.

If that woman went too far, the three of them better sit at the gate of the general's mansion, than cry and complain.

Shi Qingluo also taught the old lady and the others how to deal with the white lotus bitch and the green tea bitch that she had seen before.

She wanted to see how the three of them performed.

She believed in the power of the best splatter, and it's worth it!

Old Lady Xiao and the others didn't expect that they could deal with people like this.

A door to a new world seemed to have opened towards them!

This dead girl was worthy of being the disciple of the Old Immortal Master. Her skills were top-notch.

While Old Lady Xiao and the others wrote down Shi Qinglou's teaching, they were also a little afraid and jealous of her.

This dead girl was not a good bird, she was full of bad water, and the tricks she taught them were not out of the ordinary.

But if it will be useful to deal with that little hoof in the capital, that would be great… …

So when the three of them still had something they didn't understand, they asked Shi Qingluo for advice, and the few of them got together and chatted happily.

Xiao Hanzheng doesn't know whether to laugh or cry. Those who didn't know the truth will think that they had a good relationship… …

When Shi Qingluo said what she was supposed to teach and exhort, she then kicked them out.

"Hurry up and make preparations now, don't delay things anymore if you want to enjoy the blessing early."

Old Lady Xiao and the others couldn't wait to go back to discuss: "Okay, that's it."

Old Lady Xiao completely forgot the purpose of her coming today. She forgot about the tofu workshop and ignored it.

Shi Qingluo deliberately dug a hole for Xing Hong.

She reminded the old lady: "After you go out, Xing Hong will ask you all kinds of questions, old lady, don't let her lead you by the nose again, and accidentally say what we just discussed."

Old lady Xiao waved her hand: "That won't happen." She wasn't really stupid.

Then the few people were extremely excited and were sent out of the courtyard gate by Shi Qingluo.

Seeing them coming out, Xing Hong put away the displeasure on her face.

She pulled out a smile and greeted: "Old lady, what happen after that damn girl let you in?"

"Is the matter of managing the tofu workshop settled? Why didn't you bring out anything?"

She asked several questions in succession as usual.

In the past, Old Lady Xiao would not have thought about it.

At this moment, she couldn't help but think of what Shi Qingluo said just now.

She didn't feel it before, but now she felt it.

This Xing Hong has always wanted to lead them by the nose and use them as a gun. It was abominable and should be sold!

Chapter 42: I teach by example, you'll never go wrong

May 14, 2023Ai Hrist

Xing Hong didn't think there was anything wrong.

She changed her mind, looked at Old Lady Xiao, and asked provocatively: "Old lady, are you being dealt with by that dead girl?"

Old Lady Xiao and the others were even more unhappy. What was she trying to do?

Does this bitch hope that they will be taken care of by Xiao Hanzheng's wife?

Old Lady Xiao's face darkened: "You, a lowly maid, take care of our affairs?"

She turned her head to look at the others: "In a big family's house, if the maid doesn't respect her master, what do they do?"

Mrs. Wu said with a smile: "Mother, I heard that they will slap the maid's mouth if they are disobedient."

Old Lady Xiao glanced coldly at Xing Hong who was already in a daze: "Then slap her mouth, I'll leave it to you two."

Mrs. Wang couldn't wait to hit someone.

The resentment and anger of being beaten by Shi Qingluo before made her feel suffocated inside her heart. But this lowly maid was stopping them from going to the capital to enjoy their blessings.

And that shameless little hoof in the capital. How dare an orphan girl like her look down on them?

So new and old hatred added together, and they rushed toward Xing Hong.

As soon as she grabbed her hair, she dragged her to the ground and sat on top of Xing Hong's body.

Then she slapped her left and right.

Xing Hong didn't expect Old Lady Xiao to let Mrs. Wang beat her.

Was this old woman out of her mind? Why did she start to deal with her after entering the yard and coming out?

Could it be that dead girl who instigated it?

"Ah!" But the pain on her face made her unable to think about it, and she screamed again and again after being slapped by Mrs. Wang.

She kept resisting, but her strength was far behind Mrs. Wang who often worked.

Seeing her resisting, Mrs. Wu also stepped forward to grab her hair and kept pinching her body.

Xing Hong's face hurts. Her whole body hurts from being pinched, she kept crying and shouting: "Old lady, I was wrong, tell them to stop!"

"Don't listen to that dead girl's instigation, I'm doing it for your good."

Old lady Xiao snorted coldly, "Bah, you little bastard, you're doing this for our good? Aren't you trying to trick us so that we won't go to the capital?"

Seeing Xing Hong was stunned, she was even more sure that what Shi Qingluo said was true.

This little bitch has been playing with them, it was too hateful.

"You still want to continue to play us for fools, keep dreaming."

Old Lady Xiao couldn't hold back and was about to kick Xing Hong's face when she walked over, but Xiao Dalang stopped her.

He dragged Old Lady Xiao to the side, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Grandma, don't kick her face, otherwise, you won't be able to sell her for a good price."

Old Lady Xiao also reacted: "Yes, you can't slap your face."

Then rushed over and kicked Xing Hong's stomach and waist a few times to vent her anger.

Old Lady Xiao said to Mrs. Wang: "Don't slap her face, it's not good if she becomes ugly."

Ms. Wang was taken aback for a moment, then saw his son mouthing "sell" to her, and thought of selling the cheap girl to the brothel tomorrow.

If they hurt her face, they won't be able to sell her for a good price.

She stopped slapping her mouth but pulled her hair and pinched Xing Hong's whole body.

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wu were strong and good at pinching people. The pain caused Xing Hong to struggle and cry for mercy.

On the other side, Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi opened a crack in the door and looked over there.

Both of them had relieved excitement on their faces.

Mrs. Kong was also near the door. She also felt very happy when she heard that the old lady and the others beat the maid who often provoked and picked on them.

Just now she was in the backyard with her two children. When she heard the voice of the old lady and others, she was afraid that her son and daughter-in-law would be bullied, so she instinctively ran back to the front yard.

Who knew that before they arrived in the yard, they saw the daughter-in-law, the old lady and others gathered together, and they talked about various methods to deal with that scumbag and bitch.

She didn't go forward, but took the child and hid by the wall. She was afraid that the old lady would scold her when she went out, which would affect her daughter-in-law's performance.

After the old lady left, she came out with the two children.

Before she sat down, she heard the sound of the old lady beating and scolding outside.

So she went to the door to listen, and the two little ones opened the door to peep.

After a while, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wu were tired from beating, so they let go of Xing Hong, who had tears and snot running down her face, and her expression was painful.

Old Lady Xiao felt relieved when she saw this: "Take her home and shut her in the firewood room, let her reflect on it tonight. A maid wants to be the master of her master, what the hell."

After imprisoning her at the firewood house, they can discuss how they will sell the house, land, and people.

Both Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wu nodded: "Okay!"

Then dragged Xing, Hong, up by her hair, dragging her back to the main house.

After the others left, Mrs. Kong and the two left near the gate of the yard, then returned to the yard and sat down.

Xiao Hanyi said excitedly: "That bad woman was beaten so badly, it's cool to watch."

That bad woman encouraged his cousins to beat him before and let his uncles and aunts beat his mother. She deserved this.

Xiao Baili smiled and said, "It's so satisfying!"

Although Mrs. Kong didn't speak, she pursed her lips and smiled, showing that she was in a very happy mood.

"Sister-in-law, you are amazing!" Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi admired Shi Qingluo even more.

Shi Qingluo smiled lightly and said, "To deal with these superb villains, you must deal with them in a targeted manner."

"Just like my family, this kind of provocation is useless, so we have to use fists to solve it. Once they are afraid, they will not dare to come here to be a monster."

The main reason was that their family didn't have a scumbag father who was a general in the capital, so they couldn't reach an agreement of interest. She could only control violence with violence.

She paused and then said: "You can deal with the main house like this because they have a greedy heart. They just want to sit back and enjoy what they can get. In addition, we want to deal with that scumbag father and bad women in the capital, so better let them dogs bite dogs first."

"Let's wait and see the result after they bite and disgust each other."

"So that's how it is." Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi said in deep thought, apparently thinking about Shi Qingluo's words.

Mrs. Kong also felt that it made sense, and said to the two: "In the future, learn more from your sister-in-law."

Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi nodded: "Mmm. We will be as good as a sister-in-law in the future."

Shi Qingluo encouraged with a smile: "You guys can do it too. I teach by example, so you'll never go wrong."

Xiao Hanzheng, who was on the sidelines, looked at his mother and younger siblings who had begun to be misled: "… …"

His little wife was so confident that she will teach them by example, he was convinced.

But he has to admit that her operation just now was refreshing and useful.

He will rather let his family members astray if they will be led astray. It was better to be like this than endure being bullied like before.

He asked Shi Qingluo curiously: "How do you know that woman raised her younger brother and sister in the general's mansion, and that my scumbag father even found a good job for her younger brother?"

Shi Qingluo blinked with an innocent face: "I don't know, I'm just talking nonsense."

Then added: "Anyway, as long as you arouse the anger of those best products towards that woman and resentment towards your scumbag father, that's alright."

"And with the importance your scumbag father attaches to that woman, isn't it normal to raise her younger siblings and help them arrange errands and marriage?"

Xiao Hanzheng: "… …"

This nonsense sounds so reasonable.

The main point was, it was all nonsense, but his little wife was amazing.

---

Chapter 43: He also wants to believe her

May 15, 2023Ai Hrist

Xiao Hanzheng discovered that his little wife was not only eloquent but also very intelligent.

Today, compared to other women.

They will be bullied to death by those people.

Or they will just wave their fists, making the conflict between their family and the main house deepened more, which that woman in the capital wanted.

But Shi Qingluo did the opposite. She emphasized the injustice of those top products, made them feel wrong, and then helped them with ideas. She encouraged them to go to the capital to cause trouble.

His little wife was amazing!

Mrs. Kong took Xiao Xiao Baili to the backyard to feed the chickens and ducks.

While Shi Qingluo tugged on Xiao Hanzheng's sleeve as if begging for praise.

"Old Xiao, didn't I play that hand beautifully just now?"

The smile in Xiao Hanzheng's eyes became thicker, and he praised without hesitation: "You played beautifully, you are very good."

Shi Qingluo raised her chin arrogantly: "That's right, I will protect you from now on."

Xiao Hanzheng raised an eyebrow: "Aren't you going to hug my thigh?"

Shi Qingluo took his arm, "I will hug it!"

She looked at him with watery eyes, and said with a smile: "Brother Zheng, we will rely on you as the master in the future."

When he was staired by her, the coldness in his heart melted again.

Using the other hand that was not held, lightly flicked Shi Qinglou's forehead.

"I will take care of the outside, and you will take care of the inside. I will give you enough thigh to hug."

Shi Qingluo rubbed her head on Xiao Hanzheng's arm: "Brother Zheng is the best!"

She used to watch her best friend rubbing her face against her boyfriend's arm, she often ate a mouthful of dog food.

She, a single dog was a little envious.

It was a pity that she has never found a suitable man to be her boyfriend, and she has never been so intimate with anyone.

Now she and Xiao Hanzheng have a trial marriage, which means that he was her boyfriend. If the trial marriage was successful, he will still be her husband, so she was not cheating.

Sure enough, she felt good.

Xiao Hanzheng, who was rubbed by her arm, froze, and his heart beat a little faster.

Looking down at Shi Qingluo's eyes, there was a warmth and pampering that he didn't realize.

It seems that his little wife really likes him, so just let her rub it if she wanted to.

He asked: "You went to sue Dr. Shi today, did it end well?"

Shi Qingluo looked up: "It ends well. I can see that the new county magistrate is quite fair."

Xiao Hanzheng was stunned: "The new county magistrate?"

Shi Qingluo nodded: "Yes, he just took office 2 days ago. I heard that this new county magistrate has a lot of background. He is the Empress's nephew and is the son of the marquis."

"It's just I don't know why a son of such a high-ranking family would come to a small place like ours to be the county magistrate."

Xiao Hanzheng thought to himself: Mo Qingling came to Nanxi County so early?

In his previous life, after he woke up, his body was severely damaged because he had been taking medicine from Doctor Shi during his coma.

It took him more than a month of recuperation before going to the county seat. At that time, Mo Qingling was already the county magistrate.

He thought the other party had just arrived.

Seeing Shi Qingluo's puzzled face, he said: "We may have an iron mine in Nanxi County, so he took the initiative to apply to be the county magistrate here just to confirm this matter."

Shi Qingluo was stunned, "If that's the case, then it makes sense. That's why I was wondering why he will torture himself."

"Otherwise, in his capacity, there is no need to come here to be a county magistrate and slowly make meritorious deeds to climb up."

"If iron ore is found and confirmed. He just needs to report it to the emperor, and then stay to supervise the mining, and even take over the work of making weapons and so on."

"He can get a lot of credit by then."

Her husband was very well-informed in his previous life. It can be estimated that neither the Bai family nor the Wu family in the county knows about it.

Xiao Hanzheng was shocked after hearing her analysis.

It was only then that he discovered that his little wife was not only smart but also very insightful.

Even if it was some young ladies of the aristocratic families in the capital, after hearing this matter, they probably won't think of it.

The point was that his little wife hit the mark again.

Afterward, Mo Qingling made great achievements by exploiting mines and developing new weapons, coupled with the pillow wind blown by the Empress, the Emperor passed the Marquis Mansion and directly sealed him as the heir.

He stayed in Nanxi County for a year, then was transferred to Nanguang Fucheng as a five-rank prefect.

He stayed there for more than two years, made some achievements, and after returning to the capital, he became the right advisor of the fourth-rank military department.

He also slapped those people in the Marquis Mansion in the face severely.

Because Mo Qingling and his situations were somewhat similar. Although they have different views and do not conspire with each other, they have no close friends, but they appreciate each other.

He did not hide and pretend not to know, but said truthfully: "He came to Nanxi County for meritorious service."

His little wife was not simple, so he deliberately did not cover up in front of her.

Since she believed in himself so much, he also wanted to try to believe in her.

He had experienced enough loneliness in his previous life.

Suddenly there was a little wife in this life, he hoped that they can communicate with each other and support each other until they grow old.

Shi Qingluo seemed to notice that her husband know the county magistrate very well.

She asked: "Is his life in the Marquis mansion not so easy?"

That's why he had to come out and make meritorious deeds.

Xiao Hanzheng nodded: "His mother passed away when he was born, and not long after, his father pretended to find someone to take care of him and married his cousin he liked."

"The stepmother became pregnant as soon as she entered the door, and gave birth to a younger brother who was less than two years younger than him."

"Because his natal family and the Empress are looking after him, his stepmother dare not treat him harshly."

"On the surface, she is still a good wife and loving mother, who takes good care of him, and completely pampered him."

Shi Qingluo understood immediately: "His stepmother is secretly killing him."

Xiao Hanzheng found that his little wife reacted quickly: "Yes before he was 16, he was a playboy in the capital."

"He has a reputation for being stubborn, while his younger brothers have a reputation for being studious and courteous."

"Some things may have happened later. He learned the true face of his stepmother, and he stopped being naughty and worked hard to take the imperial examination."

"His grandfather was once the No. 1 scholar, and now he is a first-rank official. Under his guidance, he passed the exam last year."

"This year, he heard from his nanny's son that he accidentally discovered iron ore in Nanxi County, so he invited him here to be the county magistrate."

"However, not many people know about this matter. Except for him and his people, no one else in Nanxi County, including the capital, doesn't know about it."

"It's good enough that we know this in our heart, we should pretend not to know about it."

When Shi Qingluo heard his words, she was very surprised.

But what was unexpected was not Mo Qingling's background, but why did her husband know this matter so well?

Her husband himself said that, except for Mo Qingling and his people, no one in the capital and Nanxi County should know about it.

So how did he know it?

Shi Qingluo has always felt that her husband was not simple, and knows a lot.

Recalling the hostility he showed when he just woke up, and what was exposed in his recent relationship, she suddenly had a guess.

But she didn't get to the bottom of it, and she wouldn't stare at him to get to the bottom of it either.

They have a little secret from each other, which was fair and good.

She asked meaningfully: "Is County Magistrate Mo's future achievements not low?"

Xiao Hanzheng has a deeper understanding of the intelligence of his little wife.

She may have already guessed about him, so she asked this question.

Otherwise, how could he know about Mo Qingling's future?

---

Chapter 44: Let's act first

May 16, 2023Ai Hrist

Xiao Hanzheng looked down at her with clear eyes, looking at him curiously.

His heart beat faster.

Although he revealed his secret as soon as he answered, he still nodded and said: "Well, Mo Qingling's future achievements will not be low."

When he died, Mo Qingling had already gained a firm foothold in the Ministry of War.

If there will be no accident, Mo Qingling will take over after the minister of the Ministry of War has retired.

Shi Qingluo's eyes lit up: "Then we can find an opportunity to get in touch with him in advance."

She has the method of making iron and steel in her hands. When Mo Qingling mines the iron ore, she can find an opportunity to give it to the other party, and then use this to make friends.

In the future, they will also have someone to do things in the capital.

Xiao Hanzheng saw the plan of the little wife at a glance, and said with a light smile: "Okay!"

His relatives in this life were still there, and there was an extra little wife, so he decided to go another way.

Revenge was no longer the only goal in his life, he wanted to live a good life with his little wife, mother, and younger siblings.

At the same time, make up for some regrets in their previous life, such as by making friends with Mo Qingling. He wanted to see if there will be a chance to become friends this time.

Shi Qingluo found that her husband was nice. Not only did he understand what she meant when he heard it, but he also got along very well with her plan.

Such a man may be hard to encounter in modern times.

She asked: "Did the former county magistrate have a hookup with the Wu family? I heard it from the servant of the Bai Family. That's why, he is very happy to have a new county magistrate."

Xiao Hanzheng replied: "The involvement is very deep. The county magistrate is greedy, incompetent, and timid. He is afraid of the magistrate behind the Wu family, so he also treated them like a master in Nanxi County before."

"So even if the Bai family has fourth-rank officials relative in the capital to rely on, they have to avoid their edge."

After all, the county magistrate was not as good as the current one.

Shi Qingluo nodded, "No wonder the Wu family hasn't come to trouble me recently. The county magistrate has suddenly changed, so they have no time to find me."

Xiao Hanzheng was not surprised that the Wu Family would make trouble for his little wife.

His little wife not only refused to marry their family but also blocked his sister. With the narrow-mindedness and arrogance of the Wu Family, they would want to settle accounts with her.

"When they get their hands free, they'll start looking for trouble."

In his previous life, the Wu Family was backed up by the magistrate, so he couldn't do anything to them at first.

Later, he climbed up and first pulled down the magistrate who was full of handles, and then sent all the people working with the Wu family to be beheaded and exiled.

Shi Qinglou's eyes turned cold: "Then, let's act first."

According to the Wu Family's behavior, it can be estimated that they have harmed people and done bad things in recent years.

They can use their strength to suppress the Wu Family by using the Bai family and County Magistrate Mo.

If the Bai family wanted to regain their position in Nanxi County and expand their development, they must step on the Wu Family.

If Mo Qingling wants to gain a firm foothold in Nanxi County, he was bound to suppress the Wu Family, who has hooked up with the former county magistrate, with many problems and arrogance.

So she was not using those two parties, but helping each other. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

She then said: "I just don't know if the Wu Family, who is forced by County Magistrate Mo after being cleaned up, will they want to come and grab the little black ball in my hand?"

If the Wu Family sent the soiled bomb to the magistrate, it would be a great contribution. Even if Mo Qingling had a big background, he would have nothing to do with the magistrate.

Xiao Hanzheng asked: "What is the little black ball?"

Shi Qingluo replied: "A kind of soil bomb with great lethality. You know gunpowder, right? It's made of this thing."

Historically, gunpowder existed in the Spring and Autumn Period, and black gunpowder officially appeared in the Tang Dynasty and was used in military affairs.

Now there was no Tang Dynasty, and the girder has already turned a corner, so gunpowder has not yet been used in the military.

Xiao Hanzheng was very smart: "When the Old Taoist Priest ascended before, there was suddenly a huge noise, and then the flames shot into the sky, was it caused by this little black ball?"

He also heard the loud noise and saw the scene of the flames soaring into the sky, but he didn't believe it was what ascended to immortality.

Before, he was also curious about how such a big commotion could be caused, but now he understood.

Shi Qingluo nodded, "Well, it was the Old Taoist Priest who used gunpowder to concoct alchemy, which cause the explosion. There were also a lot of soil bombs piled up in his main hall, so they all detonated and cause the so-called ascension phenomenon."

Xiao Hanzheng thought for a while and asked: "Can you make that thing?"

Shi Qingluo didn't hide it, "Yes, and I know more, but we can't protect ourselves, so we can't show it."

"The Book of Time Traveling" not only includes how to configure gunpowder and soil bombs but also how to make muskets.

If she takes it out now, it will be more likely to be directly controlled by a certain dignitary, force, or the Emperor.

They were too weak right now, they better develop in a low-key manner first.

They better take these things out after they have capital that even the Emperor dare not touch easily.

Xiao Hanzheng found that his little wife was arrogant when she was arrogant, and she was also very cautious when she was cautious.

She knew how to judge the situation and act very wisely.

He doesn't know what kind of family can raise such a woman.

"Being cautious is right, it is not suitable to take it out now."

Xiao Hanzheng thought for a while and said: "However, you can make a few less powerful ones first, and then add some things that are not real formulas, and deliberately confuse the Wu Family to take."

"After they try it and find that it is of limited use and cannot be used in the military, they will naturally give up."

He said meaningfully: "I am not afraid of thieves stealing, but I am afraid that thieves will always think about it."

Shi Qingluo thought it made sense, "Yes, it's better to let the Wu Family give up on themselves first, so as not to worry about it all the time."

She has to do a lot of things in the future, it will be very troublesome if the Wu Family will keep watching her.

She snapped her fingers: "Then I'll take the initiative to make a few soil bombs with poor results, and let my superb fourth uncle send it to the Wu Family. We can still blackmail some money."

Xiao Hanzheng smiled knowingly: "That's a good idea."

There was already a feud between them, so it doesn't matter if there will be more.

After finishing speaking, the two went to the backyard together.

Mrs. Kong has already taken Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi to build a few thatched huts.

All three of them like it and are happy to raise chickens and ducks.

Xiao Hanyi said excitedly: "Sister-in-law, I will dig earthworms every day to feed chickens and ducks."

When these chickens and ducks grow up, they can eat eggs, duck eggs, and meat.

Shi Qingluo encouraged with a smile: "From now on, Hanyi will be responsible for the food of these chickens and ducks."

Xiao Hanyi nodded excitedly: "I will do well, sister-in-law!"

Shi Qingluo said again: "For the chickens and ducks, let's raise them here first. When we have money, we will buy the mountain behind us. Then we will raise chickens and ducks in the mountain."

Such chickens and ducks that were full of activities to find food were far healthier and more delicious.

They can raise a large scale if they want to raise it.

Hearing what she said, Mrs. Kong and the other two all looked forward to it: "Really? That would be great."

Shi Qingluo said confidently: "Naturally."

Then Shi Qingluo stayed to help, while Xiao Hanzheng went back to write the script.

After setting up the nests, Shi Qingluo took the initiative to fetch water to feed the chickens and ducks, and added a lot of spiritual springs, so that these chicks and ducklings would not die.

Of course, she will also prepare prescriptions to prevent poultry diseases, and when they were raised on a large scale, she will go to the county to grab the medicines and prepare them.

It can also explain why the poultry raised by their family has zero deaths and no illnesses.

Chapter 45: It will soon become popular throughout Nanxi County

May 17, 2023Ai Hrist

Shi Qingluo instructed Xiao Baili while cooking dinner.

She was not good at cooking, but she has recipes and has eaten a lot.

Braised pork, homemade tofu, pork ribs stewed radish, and scrambled eggs. This was the most hearty meal the Xiao family has eaten since the separation.

It was also the best meal Mrs. Kong and the others had ever had.

Mrs. Kon looked at Shi Qingluo with a smile in her eyes while eating.

Since her daughter-in-law got married, the smile on her son's face has increased, and their life has become more and more prosperous, which was great!

After dinner, they took a stroll, and when it got dark, everyone went to sleep.

Because the villagers will come to make tofu starting tomorrow, so even Xiao Hanzheng didn't continue to write the storybook.

The next day at two o'clock in the morning, there was a knock on the door outside.

Mrs. Kon opened the door after waking up, washing and tidying up, and asked the patriarch to choose the person who came to help make tofu to come in.

Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo also got dressed and left the room.

By dawn, everyone also saw Xiao Hanzheng walking out.

Xiao Qingshan, the third son of Patriarch Xiao, looked at Xiao Hanzheng and said: "Dalang, how is your body?"

Xiao Hanzheng smiled slightly at Xiao Qingshan, "It's almost better."

He added: "Thanks to my wife for taking care of me."

This was the truth. Without Shi Qingluo's antipyretics and the sugar water he took, it would be impossible for him to recover so quickly.

From the ears of other people, it means that Shi Qingluo was blessed, not only woke up Xiao Hanzheng with joy but also made his body healthy.

As expected of being the apprentices of the Old Immortal Master, they have little more confidence in the Xiao Family's tofu sales.

Xiao Hanzheng looked at the three men and two women who came over, and said: "From today on, I will trouble everyone to help me make tofu at my house."

"Every day, your wages are 10 copper coins, not including food. You can go home to eat breakfast, and after making the tofu to sell for the day, you can go home directly."

He paused and added: "Your wages will be settled every 10 days."

"Is that okay?"

The patriarch told everyone before about their wages, and they were all very satisfied.

They thought it would be settled every month, but they didn't expect it to be settled in ten days. This was a surprise.

"It's fine, you can work now."

Xiao Hanzheng took them to the backyard and lit a few oil lamps that Shi Qingluo bought from the county town.

Shi Qingluo directed everyone to work, and Xiao Hanzheng also helped.

The five people selected by the patriarch were all hard-working people, and Xiao Qingshan takes the lead, so no one was lazy, and they were very active in their work.

Several people have been paying attention to the process of making tofu, and Shi Qingluo didn't deliberately hide how to make tofu.

After all, she planned to open a larger tofu workshop in the future, and even open a chain, so there was no way to hide the production process.

However, when ordering tofu, she deliberately said: "This is the secret recipe left by my master. Only by using this thing can it be turned into tofu."

A few people were curious about how the soy milk turned into pieces of tofu, but now they understand that they need a special recipe for tofu.

Sure enough, after Shi Qinglou put down some tofu, the tofu gradually curdled into lumps.

Several people were stunned when they saw it and lamented that the Old Immortal Master's teaching was magical.

When the sky was almost bright, the tofu was freshly made.

People from the village who decided to buy tofu for resale also came.

Shi Qingluo brought Mrs. Kon and Xiao Baili to weigh tofu for everyone.

She also asked Xiao Baili to fry a few pots of tofu specially and wrapped them in clean leaves.

Every person who came to buy tofu was given a pack according to the quantity bought by the other party.

Shi Qingluo said: "When you go to sell tofu, you can let the customers taste the fried tofu for free first."

"And tell the other party what I told you about how to cook tofu before so that you don't have to worry about selling it."

It was not that the people in the village haven't sold things before. They were used to picking and selling what grow in their field, but they didn't expect such a way of selling.

"Isn't it a loss to let those people eat for free?" Someone asked in confusion.

Shi Qinglou laughed and said: "Everyone just eats a small piece, but may buy a catty or two of tofu. You will not lose money."

"Otherwise, if you don't let people taste it first, others won't know how it tastes, and they won't dare to buy it and eat it."

"Once the reputation of tofu spreads, there is no need to give it away for free."

Everyone found it reasonable when they heard it, "Okay, then we will try what you said."

Not many people came to pick up tofu today, others were still waiting to see how other people sell it before making a decision.

Not all the tofu was bought by resellers.

The rest were exchanged one after another by the people in the village.

As for the family who lent money to the Xiao Family before, Shi Qingluo said that they don't need to give any more money to get the tofu, and just use the tofu to pay off the debt.

This made these people who were already a little moved decided to try it.

For example, the eldest son of the patriarch took six catties.

The hometowns of other ethnic groups took a few catties to try.

During lunch, the three mothers and children were a little absent-minded.

Shi Qingluo guessed what they were thinking, so she said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, the tofu won't be hard to sell, don't worry."

Hearing what she said, Mrs. Kon suddenly stopped worrying about it for some reason: "Yes, I also have confidence in our tofu."

While talking, they heard someone knocking on their door.

Xiao Hanyi opened the door and saw Xiao Dashu, the big man who first proposed to sell tofu, standing at the door with his other two brothers.

Xiao Hanzheng stood up: "Brother Dashu, is your tofu sold out?"

Xiao Dashu had a full smile on his face, and was a little excited: "It's sold out, and it's not enough to sell."

"Thanks to your wife's idea, I let someone try it first."

"Almost all the people who tried it bought tofu."

"We just walked around the nearby villages, and all 30 catties of tofu were sold out."

They were quite courageous, and each of the three brothers took ten catties to sell.

Others only bought three to six catties and tried to sell them.

However, they also earned the most. They earned 30 copper coins in one morning, which was much better than working in the county town.

Xiao Hanzheng nodded: "It's fine as long as it's sold out."

Xiao Dashu said with a smile: "We want to sell more tofu tomorrow, so I would like to say inform you first."

Xiao Hanzheng asked: "Then how many do you want?"

Xiao Dashu replied: "Sixty catties, we can go to two more villages to sell."

At worst, it will take a little longer, but judging from today's situation, it will be sold out.

Before he guessed that tofu would not be difficult to sell, but after all, they haven't tried to sell it, so they don't feel at ease.

Right now, he was completely relieved. He guessed that other people who sell tofu will increase the quantity tomorrow, so he came here in advance to make an order.

Xiao Hanzheng didn't answer immediately but turned to look at Shi Qingluo.

After she nodded, she said to Xiao Dashu: "No problem, I will leave sixty catties for you tomorrow."

The three brothers said happily: "Thank you very much!"

Not long after the three of them left, people successively came to their house to make reservations in advance. The tofu was very popular. Even the most stupid person who sell the tofu was sold out and returned to the village at noon.

This was expected by Shi Qingluo. After all, Xiao Baili's cooking skills were very good. The fried tofu was delicious even if it was cold.

For those who have never eaten it, it was not expensive and delicious, so naturally they will buy it to try something new.

And as long as someone buys it, others will follow suit and buy it.

She believed that tofu will soon become popular throughout Nanxi County.

Chapter 46: Who is plotting whom?

May 20, 2023Ai Hrist

Those who took tofu in the morning were all sold out.

Everyone sells them in nearby villages and towns. According to what Shi Qingluo said, the prices were all five copper coins, and they earn one copper coin per catty.

They earned a few copper coins in the morning. Some of them even earned thirty copper coins like Xiao Dashu and his brothers, which was like a pie falling in the sky for the villagers.

Then word spread quickly in the village. Everyone knew that the tofu made by Xiao Xiucai's family was particularly good.

People who were still watching on the sidelines also decided to sell tofu the next day.

Soon, another piece of news broke the calm in the village.

Old Lady Xiao sold the maid who served her.

The people in the village watched Xing Hong, who was sold, crying in tears and out of breath, scolding Old Lady Xiao and Shi Qinglou, while being dragged away by the dental staff.

Then the main Xiao Family released news that they were going to sell the old house and fields. Those who were willing to buy them could come to talk.

Mrs. Kong and her children were very happy when they heard the news.

The people in the main house were finally leaving the village to go to the capital to harm, and that bad girl Xing Hong also suffered retribution. They want to set off firecrackers to celebrate.

Mrs. Kong said: "I don't know when the people in the main house will leave."

Shi Qingluo said: "Once they sell the house and the land, they will go to the capital."

After being instigated by her, those best products all want to go to the capital to enjoy richness themselves.

Mrs. Kong smiled deeply, "That's good. When they go to the capital, they won't be thinking about robbing the tofu workshop anymore."

Shi Qingluo nodded: "Now they look down on tofu workshops."

Mrs. Kong knew how greedy those best products in the main house were: "Indeed. When they go far away, we will be in peace."

Then she changed the subject and asked: "Qingluo, this tofu is wonderful, should we make more tomorrow?"

Shi Qingluo nodded, "Well, let's double it tomorrow."

"In the future, more people will come to buy tofu and resell it. You should be mentally prepared."

Mrs. Kong nodded with a smile: "I'm ready. I also mix the bean dregs with wild vegetables and earthworms to feed chickens and ducks, they like it."

"In the future, we will make a lot of tofu. I think it's good to buy the back mountain when we have money like you said, and use it to feed chickens and ducks. We will also buy some pigs so that the bean dregs will not be wasted."

She liked the fulfilling and hopeful days they lived right now. She was very happy no matter how hard it will be.

Shi Qingluo nodded with a smile: "Mother is right, I think so too, and this day will come soon."

Mrs. Kong's smile deepened, her eyes were full of hope, and she became more motivated: "Yes."

Then she took Xiao Baili to the kitchen to cook again.

Shi Qingluo was sitting in the yard, watching Xiao Hanzheng write the script.

Their house has a very poor layout when it was built, so the light in the room was not very good during the day.

Xiao Hanzheng always moved the tables and chairs to the yard to write scripts or read books.

After finishing tens of thousands of words, Xiao Hanzheng showed it to Shi Qingluo.

After reading it, Shi Qingluo sighed: "The writing is very good, there is nothing to change this time."

"Your talent for writing scripts is really strong!" Even she couldn't stop reading when she started it.

One can imagine how much the impact would be on the ancients who have not read the scriptures of cultivating immortals.

Xiao Hanzheng smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment."

He likes to be recognized and praised by his little wife.

In his previous life, he did everything by himself, and now suddenly there was such a person by his side, which was very good.

"I'll go to the county seat in 2 days, and take the manuscript I wrote to the bookstore to see if it can be sold."

Regarding this script, he felt that there would be no problem selling it.

Shi Qingluo nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, then I will go to the town with you the day after tomorrow, and do some shopping along the way."

While the two were talking, Xiao Erlang from the old house came.

Xiao Hanzheng asked coldly: "What's the matter?"

Although Xiao Erlang was one year older than Xiao Hanzheng, he has been dealt with privately by his cousin several times, which was very frightening.

He didn't dare to go into the yard, but stood at the door and said, "Grandpa and Grandma ask you to go to the old house."

Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng looked at each other and nodded.

Xiao Hanzheng put away the storybook, paper, and brush: "Okay, let's go."

Calling them to the old house this time, those top players probably want to plot against them.

The two followed Xiao Erlang for more than ten minutes and arrived at a semi-new yard.

As soon as he entered the door, Shi Qingluo saw a dozen people sitting in the yard.

She guessed that everyone from the main Xiao family was there.

She looked at Old Lady Xiao first and asked, "Why is the former grandma looking for us?"

Old Lady Xiao: "… …"

This damn girl always calls her by a prefix, which was annoying as ever.

But she called people over today, not to find fault.

She pointed to the two empty chairs in the yard, then said: "Sit down."

After watching the two sit down, she said, "I'll listen to you, and sell Xing Hong."

Shi Qingluo raised her finger and shook it, "Former grandmother, what you said is wrong. I just made a small suggestion, and I won't take the blame for betrayal."

Old Lady Xiao: "… …"

The others: "… …"

Shameless, it was her idea yesterday.

Old Lady Xiao also knew that she couldn't say that it was this dead girl's idea, so she took a deep breath: "Okay, then we sell people ourselves."

She looked like she was taking advantage of people and said: "Now we want to sell the house and the field. I heard that your tofu sells very well, so I would like to ask if you want to buy it?"

If Shi Qingluo didn't instigate them to look down on tofu workshops and go to the General's Mansion in the capital to be the master of the house, Old Lady Xiao and the others wanted to take the tofu shop themselves when they heard it was selling well.

But now they have other thoughts.

Shi Qingluo immediately shook her head: "We can't afford it."

"Now the tofu is selling well because of its novelty, but I don't know what will happen in the future."

"We haven't paid off the money we owe, where will we get the money to buy your old house and fields?"

She rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Why don't you let us pay on credit, we will buy it."

These best products thought of selling their house and fields to them.

So when they come back later, they will just use the so-called filial piety to get them back, and not spend a single penny.

She doesn't have the time to fool around with them.

And to be honest, she doesn't like this house.

So she deliberately said that she had no money and asked to pay on credit. With the virtue of these best products, they would naturally refuse.

Since these best products took the initiative to come to her door and want to plot against them, she wanted to see who plots against whom in the end. Heh heh!

People from the main Xiao Family: "… …"

Pay on credit, was she dreaming?

They originally wanted to try it. If Xiao Hanzheng and the others could take out the money, or go to the village or the county to borrow money to buy it, it would be the best.

If they return to the village in the future, they can just grab it back and save a fortune.

The credit was fine, but they were not stupid.

Old Lady Xiao smiled and said: "It's fine if you don't have money, but we need silver for travel expenses."

Shi Qingluo agreed, "That's true. Although you will have enough food and drink after you go to the capital, and you still have endless money to spend, you still need to prepare some money on the way."

Old Lady Xiao suddenly didn't want to see her: "That's okay, you go back."

Shi Qingluo did not move and said: "Former grandmother, are you going to throw us away after using us!"

She said again: "You don't want to talk to me anymore?"

---

Chapter 47: They had to board the boat

May 21, 2023Ai Hrist

Old Lady Xiao and the others looked puzzled: "What should we talk to you?"

Shi Qingluo looked angry and indisputable: "You don't want me to help out with ideas in the future and stay in the capital completely?"

Old Lady Xiao was speechless: "We won't be in the same place after we leave, so how can you come up with an idea?"

Well, this dead girl was annoying, but her brain functioned very well.

Shi Qingluo rolled her eyes at her: "We can communicate!"

"I heard that Xiao Dalang and Erlang both went to school. Although they are not good at studying, and they can't compare to my husband, they can write letters, right?"

Xiao Dalang: "… …"

Xiao Erlang: "… …"

They can write letters if she wanted to, why still compare them to Xiao Hanzheng?

Xiao Dalang coughed dryly: "Writing letters is naturally no problem."

They have also been in school for several years. They dropped out of school because they couldn't read well, but they can write most of the characters.

Shi Qingluo gave him a nice look in his eyes: "You look like a smart person."

Xiao Dalang was taken aback by her compliment, then puffed out his chest: "It's okay."

Even if this dead girl has a vision.

Seeing his proud appearance, Xiao Hanzheng didn't know what to say.

His little wife suddenly complimented him, she must have a purpose!

For her people, she will have some demand, for these best products, she must be deceiving them.

However, this guy was still so happy. Even if he was sold by his little wife, he will probably help her to count the money.

Too stupid, he couldn't bear to look.

Sure enough, Shi Qingluo hooked her finger to Xiao Dalang.

"Come here, I will teach you how to write a letter."

Xiao Dalang had black lines all over his head: "I know how to write letters, do I still need your teaching?"

Shi Qinglou gave him a blank look: "Do you still want to go to the capital to find a good job? And married a good wife in the capital?"

Xiao Dalang: "… …"

Of course!

So he didn't hold back and moved the chair near Shi Qingluo to sit down.

"If something happens in the general's mansion, you secretly write a letter to your former cousin through the post station."

She said and then pointed to Xiao Hanzheng: "Then he will pass it on to me, and I will give you some advice after reading it."

Old Lady Xiao frowned: "If you have an idea, then you have an idea. Why are you asking Dalang to write to you about what happened in the General's Mansion?"

Does this dead girl think she was stupid, and will not find out that she wants to know what happened to the general's mansion?

Shi Qingluo didn't hide it: "Because I want to know about the General's Mansion!"

"Only when I know the general events in the General's Mansion, I can deduce the current situation of your son and that daughter-in-law. By then, I can help you make up your mind and gain a firm foothold."

"Otherwise, how can you handle those two? Could it be that you still want to go back to the village and continue to suffer?"

Old Lady Xiao: "… …"

The others: "… …"

It makes sense, they don't want to.

Shi Qingluo added: "I'm trying to help you here. If not, why would I insist on communicating with you? I will have to pay for the brush, ink, and paper and spend money to send the letter to the post station. To be honest, we are the ones who suffer."

"Old lady, you are so smart, you don't understand my kindness?"

Xiao Dalang: "… …"

Just now she praised him for being smart, this woman was fickle.

This was what Old Lady Xiao couldn't understand. Why would this dead girl help them and suffer a loss?

This dead girl doesn't seem like someone who would do business at a loss.

She was stunned.

But still pulled out a smile: "Of course I understand."

Otherwise, she will look not smart.

"Then we will let Dalang write a letter to Zheng'er, you write back and give us some advice."

Then she said meaningfully: "If we gain a firm foothold in the capital, it will be good for you too."

"We can persuade Yuanshi to take you all into the capital, and then ask him to look for a better teacher to teach Zheng'er so that he can pass the exam in the future."

Shi Qingluo looked sincere: "Thank you so much, former grandmother."

"Since we have such a relationship, as long as you have questions, feel free to write to ask."

"My husband and I will give you the best idea so that you can control the general's mansion to death."

Then she changed the topic: "But don't let the general and that woman know, otherwise, he will not allow you to communicate with us, and receive help."

"Then he will find an excuse and send you back to the village so that you don't even have a place to cry."

"After all, those two are smart people with deep scheming. If there is no one to help you out with ideas, you can't play them together."

Old Lady Xiao: "… …"

The others: "… …"

They don't know who praised them for being smart just now.

But although this statement was not pleasant, it was also true.

In the past, Xiao Yuanshi was the most scheming at home, but now, adding up that shameless little hoof, if no one came up with good ideas, they really might not be able to play.

Ahem, weren't they being played around by Xing Hong before?

Old Lady Xiao glanced at Old Man Xiao. She saw him nodding his head slightly.

Then she said to Shi Qingluo: "Okay, let's communicate with each other, and we will not let those two know about it."

Under the subtle influence of Shi Qingluo, Old Lady Xiao and the others unconsciously felt that when interests were involved… …

Shi Qingluo was more reliable than Xiao Yuanshi.

Shi Qingluo smiled brightly: "That's right, we are in the same boat, and we should help each other."

She then asked Xiao Dalang: "You are so smart, you know what to write in the letter, right?"

Xiao Dalang showed a face 'Leave everything to me', then patted his chest: "I know, I will write to tell you what happened to the General's Mansion."

Shi Qingluo warned: "You can also tell us about your second uncle and that woman's living habits, contacts, etc."

"You need to have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering. The more you observe and discover, the more ideas I can help you."

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in all battles.

She will not only pack these top products as gifts for that woman but also developed these top products into her eyeliner.

After a pause, she challenged meaningfully: "After you go to the capital, you can't let that woman's younger brother steal your job and limelight. After all, you are the great general's nephew."

"As the eldest grandson of the Xiao family, you can't be compared with that woman's younger brother, so I told you to observe and write to me. Can you do it?"

Xiao Dalang thought of his uncle not letting them go to the capital, not arranging good errands for them, but bringing the woman's younger brother back to the general's mansion to raise him, and even finding good errands, so he was very angry.

He also has a lot of resentment towards that new second aunt.

He snorted, "Of course, I can do it, just wait for my letter."

Shi Qingluo gave him a thumbs up, "I like you, I'm sure you are better than that woman's brother."

Xiao Dalang said proudly: "Of course."

He was definitely =better than that bastard who has neither father nor mother.

Shi Qingluo successfully tricked Xiao Dalang onto the boat, so her smile was even brighter.

She looked at Old Lady Xiao who was in charge of the house and said: "Then let's keep in touch. You can write letters when you arrive in the capital so that I can better help you make suggestions."

Old Lady Xiao waved her hand: "I understand, you can go back."

The bright smile of this dead girl was too annoying.

They knew very well she was plotting against their old house, but they had to board the boat, this feeling was too annoying.

So before leaving, she didn't want to see this dead girl again.

Chapter 48: It will be a good show

May 22, 2023Ai Hrist

Having achieved her goal, Shi Qingluo didn't want to stay any longer.

Pulling Xiao Hanzheng to stand up: "Then we will go first, former grandmother, take care!"

Old Lady Xiao said impatiently: "You go."

Xiao Hanzheng didn't say anything, he had no common language with the people in the main house. He simply walked out of the main house with Shi Qingluo.

After going out for a while, he smiled and asked: "Even if the people in the main house didn't call us today, you plan to let them write back, right?"

His little wife's method was wonderful, let the top products of the main house go to the general's mansion and be her eyeliner.

Then provoke the top players in a targeted manner to entangle those two people.

Thinking of the "good life" between the scumbag father and that woman in the future, he also felt a lot better.

In his last life, that scumbag father and that woman kept the people in the old house under control and did not allow them to go to the capital.

It was only after he climbed up in the capital that he managed to bring those top products of the old house to the capital.

Just like what his little wife said, even after combining all those top products, they can't match that woman. Adding up that more scheming scumbag father.

But at that time, he was dying, so he brought those top products to the capital, just holding the idea of revenge. It doesn't matter whether they could deal with those two.

Now, his little wife instigated sending those top products to the capital much early. The general's mansion will probably be full of drama every day in the future. He can't help but look forward to it.

Shi Qingluo chuckled: "That's right. How could I let go of such good eyeliner like them."

"I like this kind of top-notch people thinking they have smart brains and good communication skills."

"If they are like your scumbag father, I will not work with them like this. I won't be able to fool them."

If the top products of the main house heard Shi Qingluo's words, they will yell at her for looking down on them so much.

Xiao Hanzheng nodded in agreement: "Indeed, even adding them up, they can't beat my scumbag father."

"Although the branch is different, it has the same root."

His scumbag father's ruthlessness and ignorance were inherited from the main house.

Shi Qingluo held Xiao Hanzheng's arm and said: "Let's trick them again."

"How?" When Xiao Hanzheng's arm was held by Shi Qinglou, his body's instinctive reaction was already used to it.

Shi Qinglou asked in a low voice: "Do you know where there are bandits on the road leading to the capital? The kind who rob money without killing people."

"We can tell those bandits the time and route of those top products of the main house when they go to the capital."

"Let those bandits block their way and rob them of all their money and belongings."

"Then let those top products beg throughout the remaining half of the journey. Let them suffer a bit more so that their grievances are engraved deeply in their heart."

"When those top products arrived in the capital, they will look like a group of beggars running to the general's mansion to find their relatives."

"When people ask, they will learn that this group of beggars turned out to be the general's parents and family members. They will be surprised and spread the word. Your scumbag father will be embarrassed in the whole capital."

"Those top products will eat a lot of hardship, their anger will accumulate, so they will probably vent it on the spot, so it will be a good show."

She squinted her eyes and said with a giggle: "That alone is enough for that scumbag and that woman to drink a pot of shame."

From the attitude of that scumbag father, it can be seen that the top products of the main house must have done something particularly bad to make him this angry.

Shi Qingluo couldn't help but think of Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi. If she didn't appear as an anomaly, they might be dead by now.

It's better to let those top products of the main house suffer a little bit more first.

At the same time, they can also shame that scumbags first, killing two birds with one stone.

After listening to Shi Qingluo's words, Xiao Hanzheng was stunned.

He didn't expect his little wife to be so bad, ahem… … so good.

No need to mention it, this idea was simply too good.

He lowered his head to Shi Qingluo's ear, chuckled lightly, and said, "Leave this to me."

His little wife just squinted her eyes and calculated those top products in the main house. She was so cute that it made his heart itch.

Shi Qingluo pushed him: "Don't seduce me."

Her husband leaned close to her ear and breathed into her ear. He was so good-looking, which made her feel numb.

Xiao Hanzheng laughed happily: "Is this the seduction?"

Shi Qingluo glared at him, "Nonsense."

She has been a single dog for so many years, and she can't stand the temptation.

Xiao Hanzheng pulled her hand off his arm and held it with his hand.

The two intertwined their fingers: "Okay, I won't seduce you yet."

Well, if he wanted to seduce her later, he already knows how to do it.

Shi Qingluo didn't know what Xiao Hanzheng was thinking in his heart. She let him hold her hand with satisfaction: "Tomorrow I want to go into the mountains to take a look."

See if there was something that can be used, their family was still too poor.

Xiao Hanzheng said: "I will accompany you."

Shi Qingluo turned her head and asked: "Can you climb mountains with your body?"

Xiao Hanzheng said meaningfully: "Drinking the water you poured every day, my body has almost recovered."

He has discovered that the water given to him by his little wife should have the effect of strengthening his body.

He also saw that after she trim the purple chrysanthemum that time, she simply watered it yesterday and today.

Then she went to the backyard to feed the chickens and ducks this morning.

So that water should be very special.

Shi Qinglou was stunned for a moment she didn't expect her husband's observation to be so subtle, he deserves to be a reborn boss.

She felt that the former scumbag and the best in the old house would end badly when she met her young husband.

"That's right, I don't give water to ordinary people." Now that she was discovered, she didn't hide it.

After all, she was very satisfied with her husband now. If the trial marriage was over, they will have a lifetime.

If he can't find it now, he will find it someday.

In these lonely and helpless ancient times, if the Xiao Family wasn't there to accompany her, Shi Qingluo will feel like duckweed.

Besides, her husband also subtly revealed his rebirth.

So it was meaningless to keep covering it up, and it was better to have a little trust between them.

She believed that she was not wrong.

Xiao Hanzheng smiled and said: "So I want to thank my lady!"

He thought for a while and added, "Don't look at me as thin and weak now, but I can also use martial arts."

Then he emphasized: "My physical strength is not bad."

He did not forget that on the first day they met, his little wife questioned his ability.

He had learned martial arts from his grandfather before, and in his last life, he trained hard with his master and even went to the border to kill the enemy and made military exploits.

Shi Qingluo looked at him curiously: "How are your martial arts?"

Xiao Hanzheng was not humble either, and said with a truthful smile: "It can be regarded as a master."

"But now I have to practice again from the beginning."

After all, his current body hasn't adapted yet unlike in his previous life.

In his previous life, he was able to live a few more years because of studying medicine and practicing martial arts.

Otherwise, with his weak body that was deliberately drugged, he would die before he could climb to a high position and take revenge.

Shi Qinglou shook Xiao Hanzheng's hand: "When we get home later, let's try some tricks in the yard?"

She hasn't lost a fight in modern times.

Xiao Hanzheng said indulgently: "Okay!"

After the two returned home, they fought in the yard.

Mrs. Kong and the two ran out of the backyard when they heard the movement and were shocked when they saw it.

Only after finding out that the two were playing martial arts, did they feel relieved.

Mrs. Kong breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was a biological mother, she will not allow her son to beat his wife.

Then she pulled her children and stood not far away, watching with relish.

Not to mention, the fight between the son and daughter-in-law was pretty good. Both of them seem to be very good at fighting.

Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi also watched the two fight with admiration.

Chapter 49: Just satisfy her

May 23, 2023Ai Hrist

After fighting for more than a dozen rounds, Shi Qingluo had her hands cut back by Xiao Hanzheng.

He leaned forward, leaned into Shi Qingluo's ear, and said, "Miss, you lost."

Just now, the more he fought, the more frightened he was. He didn't expect that his little wife was so good at it.

Her moves were not gorgeous, but it was on point. As if she trained in the military camp.

Shi Qingluo's body was a little weak, and she was already out of breath from exhaustion.

"I didn't see Old Xiao, that your force value is so high!"

Right now, she will not be able to keep up with the moves due to her weak body, but she was sure that even in her heyday in her previous life, she can't beat her husband.

She looked sideways at him with sparkling eyes and asked, "Can you do light work, like flying over walls?"

Xiao Hanzheng laughed: "Even without such exaggerated light skills, it would be easy to climb over walls, but it is impossible to fly over walls."

"Of course, if you use tools."

Shi Qingluo immediately stepped forward, took out a handkerchief, and graciously wiped off Xiao Hanzheng's sweat.

"Brother Zheng, then you can teach me Qinggong, I want to learn too."

Although she can't jump over the eaves and walk over the wall, it won't be bad to cross over the wall easily.

Xiao Hanzheng watched her wipe his face with a handkerchief, and couldn't laugh or cry, "Okay, I'll teach you."

When his little wife wants to ask him to do something, she will especially pretend to be obedient and courteous.

His name will also change from Old Xiao to Brother Zheng.

"Hey, Brother Zheng, you are so kind, I like you the most!" Shi Qinglou smiled crookedly with flat eyebrows.

If it wasn't for the wrong place, she would have wanted to give him a big hug.

Hearing Shi Qingluo's words, the corners of Xiao Hanzheng's lips rose. It turns out that his little wife likes him so much, it was great!

He said: "I will practice martial arts with you in the morning, and I will teach you lightness kung fu at the same time."

If he wanted to protect his relatives and wife, he should quickly reach the same level of martial arts from his previous life.

Shi Qingluo nodded: "This is a good idea."

In the early morning of the next day, Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng got up to help make tofu.

After preparing the tofu, Mrs. Kong asked the two of them to go back to their room to rest, and she came to watch over them.

Because there were only two women who make tofu, there will be no gossip.

Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng were also relieved, they can just train Mother Xiao.

The two of them were going to go up the mountain during the day, so they went to rest.

When the two got up, the tofu was almost sold out.

Mrs. Kong and Xiao Baili were working hard to learn and change.

After eating the breakfast prepared by Xiao Baili, Shi Qingluo, and Xiao Hanzheng went up the mountain with a basket on their backs.

What they went to was not the mountain behind the courtyard of their residence, but the largest and most primitive mountain between the two villages.

Beasts will appear on the mountain, so the villagers dare not go deep.

Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng's force value was not low, and they were not afraid of encountering wild beasts, so they walked directly to the depths.

Shi Qingluo discovered that Xiao Hanzheng was very familiar with this mountain: "Have you been here before?"

Xiao Hanzheng held her hand: "I've been here many times, and I even found century-old ginseng in the mountains."

In his previous life, his mother and younger siblings died, and the family owed money, so he had to continue living.

Therefore, he was forced to go to the mountains to get food, or catch hares and pheasants, and dig some herbs to sell.

One time, he was chased by wild boars and lost his way, and accidentally found a century-old ginseng tree.

After taking it out and selling it, he was able to make money and left Xiaxi Village to study medicine and martial arts.

Shi Qingluo shook Xiao Hanzheng's hand tightly. Her former little husband must have suffered a lot, and had many heartaches!

She asked: "Do you remember where the ginseng is?"

Xiao Hanzheng replied: "I still have an impression, but wolves and wild boars are infesting there. If our current physical strength encounters them, it will be troublesome."

"When the opportunity is ripe, let's look for it again."

At least having the ability to protect themselves was required.

Shi Qingluo was not an impulsive person: "Well, it's a pity to sell the century-old ginseng. We should keep it for ourselves when we find it in the future."

Xiao Hanzheng squeezed her hand, "Okay!"

The two walked around for a while, then Shi Qingluo stood under a tall tree.

"Hey, there are sumac trees here."

Xiao Hanzheng didn't understand these things, "What is a sumac tree for?"

"The phloem of the trunk is cut from the raw lacquer, the seeds can be used to extract oil, and the dried lacquer has medicinal value, and has the effects of stimulating menstrual flow, repelling insects and antitussive."

"The seed oil can also be used to make ink and soap, and the peel can be used as wax for candles and wax paper. The leaves can be used to extract tannins. The leaves and roots can be used as soil pesticides.

"Its whole body is a treasure."

"This large area is full of sumac trees, and a lot of lacquer can be cut out."

The paint can be used in architectural painting and furniture.

Xiao Hanzheng did not expect that the lacquer sold outside actually came from this kind of tree.

"The price of paint is not low, we can find someone to cut this piece of paint."

"The seeds and the others can also be used."

Shi Qingluo nodded, "Indeed, it would be too laborious and inefficient for us to cut it ourselves."

"After earning some money, we can open another workshop for lacquer. Not only can we sell lacquer, but we can also sell soap, candles and wax paper, etc."

Xiao Hanzheng supported her: "Alright."

Shi Qingluo said again: "But what I want most is to make money first, then rebuild a yard, and improve the hut and bathing place."

She really can't stand going to the toilet and bathing in ancient times.

If she can build a new house, she will have to build a separate toilet and bathroom.

Then make a flush toilet and a bathroom where you can stand and take a bath.

Xiao Hanzheng found that his little wife had a deep resentment in this regard.

But since his little wife thought so, then just satisfy her.

So he said: "Then build a house first, then buy a mountain for breeding and open a painting workshop."

"I'll go to the county seat tomorrow to see if I can sell the manuscript at a higher price. If I can, I'll hurry up and write more."

It was not difficult for him to make money.

He then added: "Actually, I can be a doctor. I will go out next month and treat a person. The salary should not be low."

After collecting the money altogether, the amount of money should be able to satisfy his little wife's idea of building a house within two months.

Although Shi Qingluo can make money and build a house by herself, she was very happy to hear that her husband was responsible and indulged her.

Men in this era seldom let their wives do things at will, and they are all very machismo. After all, it was an era where men were superior to women.

So her vision was excellent, and she fell in love with her husband at first sight.

She leaned over and kissed Xiao Hanzheng's cheek: "Brother Zheng, you performed very well, I will give you a reward."

When warm lips fell on his face, Xiao Hanzheng was taken aback, he didn't expect his little wife to kiss him.

He lowered his head and saw his little wife with stars in her eyes and a smile as bright as a little sun.

His heartbeat accelerated a lot, and the tips of my ears instantly turned red.

His little wife was not shy.

But this feeling seems to be pretty good.

After Shi Qingluo kissed Xiao Hanzheng, the tips of her ears were also red.

Oh, it was her first time kissing a man.

Shi Qinglou took Xiao Hanzheng to mark the lacquer forest, and she and he both deliberately memorized the location, so that they could come and cut the lacquer later.

After walking for a while, Shi Qingluo looked at the plants in front of her, and her eyes lit up again.

"There is still a piece of wild beet in front. Today's harvest is fantastic."

Xiao Hanzheng asked: "What can this wild beet do?"

Shi Qinglou replied with a smile: "Make sugar ."

---

Chapter 50: Acted preemptively

May 24, 2023Ai Hrist

Xiao Hanzheng knows that sugar cane can be made into sugar.

"Can this beet also make sugar?"

Shi Qingluo nodded, "Of course, besides sugarcane, sugar beets are also good."

The raw materials of modern sugar making were mainly these two kinds.

"Let's dig some and make some sugar first at home."

"Then hire someone to dig all these beets back, and then let the people in the village open up some land to grow beets, and we can spend money to collect them in the future, and we can also open a sugar workshop."

Regarding agricultural science, Shi Qingluo herself was an expert.

"Opening a few more workshops can also promote the development of our village and nearby villages so that everyone can live a good life and bind us with interests."

In ancient times, it was very important to have a good reputation. Unite all interests that can be united, and don't underestimate the power of the masses.

For example, if not many people know about you, no one will care about you when you die.

But if the entire county knows about you, and the interests of most people were tied together by you.

If something happens to you, even if these people are not harmed for their interests, they will speak out and reach out to help.

Xiao Hanzheng understood the meaning of his little wife as soon as he heard it.

This was good. Not only they can earn money, but also drove other people to make money and develop together.

To open various workshops, it will be impossible not to hire people.

Being happy alone was worse than being happy with others. People can easily get jealous, and jealous people can tear your flesh.

On the contrary, because everyone's interests were tied together, they will have a good relationship.

He nodded and smiled, "Good!"

Whether it was lacquer or sugar, it will be very profitable to open a workshop.

The two dug beets together and filled the baskets before returning down the mountain.

Xiao Hanzheng took the initiative to lead Shi Qingluo away: "Where do you want to build a house?"

"I suggest that it is better to open a workshop for the old house, and we can choose another place to build a new house."

The memory left by the original owner of the body is not very good.

Shi Qingluo smiled and said: "I've already picked up a place. Not only is the environment good, but it's also good for our papermaking."

"Isn't there a wild bamboo forest near the river? We can buy that one, and the new house will be built in the open space in the middle of the bamboo forest."

"Being in the bamboo forest, the environment is also very elegant. A small paper workshop will be built next to it, and the materials will be drawn from the surrounding area so that others will not know that we use bamboo as a material for papermaking."

"The cut bamboo can be replanted. It is best to buy the entire hillside and plant it all with bamboo."

Xiao Hanzheng was a scholar, even though he learned martial arts in his previous life and went to battle to kill enemies, he still prefers elegant things.

So he supported Shi Qingluo's proposal: "Okay, the new house surrounded by bamboo forest is very artistic."

Shi Qingluo said: "Let's buy the mountain behind our house and use it for breeding."

She then added: "After talking like this, we are quite short of money."

They lack money for the initial investment.

If the breeding mountain and these workshops were built and operated, there will be no worries about making money.

Xiao Hanzheng said with a smile, "Just take your time, let's build the house first."

He wanted to give his little wife, mother, and younger siblings a comfortable living environment and life first.

Shi Qingluo especially agreed: "Old Xiao, we always have the same thoughts."

Xiao Hanzheng chuckled: "Who made us husband and wife."

Shi Qinglou lowered her eyebrows and smiled, "That's right, husband and wife work together to earn money."

She thought for a while and asked: "Are you still going to study in the county?"

Studying at home behind closed doors. Even if he was a genius, it won't be easy to excel in the exam.

Xiao Hanzheng nodded: "I'm going to report to the county school next month."

"Not long after, there will be a high-ranking official who will come. He is a former number one scholar, he will visit his relatives in the county."

"And I will go to the county school to stay for a while. I want to see if I can make the other party my teacher."

"It's not difficult for me to take the Juren examination, but it is not easy to go further. My knowledge is still far behind."

In his previous life, because he missed the way to continue taking the imperial examination, he later held a high position, but he read the exam questions every year after he left school.

He used these exam questions to write articles and show them to others, but the evaluations he got were all lacking.

What he lacks was the guidance of a famous teacher, whether it be on the county to learn lessons, or to worship a talented teacher, it was very necessary.

Shi Qingluo agreed: "It would be better if you could worship the other party as your teacher."

The famous teacher's guidance was very important in modern times, otherwise, why would everyone go to a prestigious school?

A high-ranking official knows the court very well, and he was the number one scholar, so he must be very knowledgeable.

Xiao Hanzheng nodded: "Well, I will try my best."

It would be best to be able to worship the other party as a teacher.

Shi Qingluo raised her hand and made an encouraging gesture to him, "I support you!"

Xiao Hanzheng held her hand tightly, "Thank you, my wife!"

It feels so good that he was no longer fighting alone in this life.

Today, more people in the village were selling tofu, and they were all sold out.

The three brothers of Xiao Dashu's family also borrowed a donkey cart and rushed to the county town to sell it.

People in the county were more willing to eat, so sixty catties of tofu were sold out at noon.

This made them even more excited, and when they went back to the village to publicize, more people were tempted.

More people want to buy tofu and resell it, so more people order tofu today.

The three Xiao Dashu brothers ordered a hundred catties this time.

People in nearby villages also heard about tofu, and some people came to exchange tofu early the next morning or bought it for resale.

The workload of the few people who came to make tofu increased greatly, and some people wanted to sell the tofu or sell it to their families after finishing their work.

Shi Qingluo wanted to increase their enthusiasm for work. After all, selling tofu was easier to make money than making tofu.

So she promised that as long as their family members came to get the tofu, they only need to pay three pennies if they will buy more than ten catties.

So to say, if they sell tofu, they can earn two pennies per catty, than others.

But they need to keep working in the workshop, if they leave, this benefit will be canceled.

The few people who were originally tempted to sell tofu no longer hesitated, and of course, continued to do it.

Because tofu was so easy to sell, all the tofu made in the morning was sold out, and some people didn't get any replacements.

Everyone kept telling Mrs. Kong to make more tomorrow.

Mrs. Kong happily agreed. The business of the tofu workshop was getting better every day, which makes her more motivated.

Not long after the tofu went on sale, Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo went to the county seat.

The two of them went there by bullock cart. There was a person in the next village who specialized in pulling bullock carts into the county town for a living, and they went back and forth.

It takes about an hour to walk to the county seat. It doesn't save much time to take a bullock cart, but at least, they don't have to walk.

After getting off the cart at the county seat, Shi Qingluo rubbed her numb waist: "When we have money, let's go buy a carriage."

It takes only 20 or 30 minutes for the carriage to travel from their house to the county seat.

If the county town doesn't have a lot of people, Xiao Hanzheng would have reached out to rub his little wife's waist: "Okay, let's buy one!"

When Shi Qingluo heard his heroic words, she felt very happy, and the more she got along with him, the more she felt that her husband was the best.

Fortunately, she acted preemptively and did not take advantage of others.
