Chapter 213 Black Water Village
There were three people when they left and two when they came back, but no one thought anything was wrong and no one asked.
Zhou Yunshu sat on the bamboo chair that Aunt Liao bought from the market, and sat under a tree with Ji Mingzhu, leisurely drinking the flower tea bought from the market.
Although not exquisite, it has a unique flavor.
"Find something for your mother and your second aunt to do. They don't need to achieve anything, just be happy."
Ji Mingzhu leaned on the bamboo chair, thinking about how Li Jialan and Wu Yue had just gone to the market arm in arm with great interest, and said to Zhou Yunshu.
Although life is harder now than before, as a mother-in-law, she can still let her daughter-in-law live the life she wants.
"good."
Zhou Yunshu didn't ask why and agreed directly.
In fact, her mother and second aunt also had things to do before, but after Ji Mingzhu came, they naturally put all their eyes and attention on their mother-in-law.
They are daughters-in-law, and now that their husbands are not around, it is their duty to take good care of their mothers-in-law.
But Ji Mingzhu also hopes that her daughters-in-law who lost their husbands can live a more comfortable life.
"grandmother."
Only Nanny Wang and Chuwu were standing next to Zhou Yunshu and Ji Mingzhu. There were about sixteen people standing ten meters away from them. There was no one around.
"Are you still in close contact with Nanzhou?"
Ji Mingzhu looked at Zhou Yunshu who suddenly mentioned Nanzhou and said, "Nanzhou has always been mine."
It doesn’t matter whether it’s tight or not, Nanzhou is hers.
She has been managing the trump cards given to her by her father and brother well over the years. Even though the emperor has sent many new officials to Nanzhou, they have no real power in Nanzhou and are just puppets with empty power.
After hearing what Ji Mingzhu said, Zhou Yunshu told Ji Mingzhu again what she had learned in the cabin.
Ji Mingzhu nodded after hearing this and said, "Go ahead. Even the most fertile fields will have pests, especially those that are inconspicuous. Just catch them."
Zhou Yunshu nodded, and Ji Mingzhu continued, "The affairs of Nanzhou will eventually be handed over from my hands to yours. When I'm not busy next month, I will have the people from Nanzhou come to see you one by one."
Zhou Yunshu thought for a moment and said, "Wouldn't it be a bit conspicuous if they came here?"
Those people in the court and the capital can't find where they are, and they will definitely keep an eye on Nanzhou's every move.
"How about I disguise myself as a merchant and go to Nanzhou?"
Ji Mingzhu smiled and said, "That's fine."
As the sun grew higher and higher, Ji Mingzhu's face showed a trace of fatigue, and Zhou Yunshu thought it was time to go home.
Li Jialan and Wu Yue kept an eye on the time and came back when they were almost done shopping outside, but the children at home were still nowhere to be seen.
There was no other way, Sixteen could only take people to look for it.
The Yanghe Market was so big that Sixteen spent nearly two quarters of an hour searching before he finally returned with Xixi and the others who had had a blast.
At this moment, they no longer looked as clean and tidy as they did in the morning. Apart from the lingering smiles on their faces, there was dust on their clothes, messy hair, and weeds in their hair that had come from nowhere.
It just so happened that they came in a mule cart and left in the same mule cart.
In addition, Ansheng and Yuanli were holding two baskets in their arms, one containing fluffy chicks and the other containing yellow ducklings.
They bought this with their pocket money.
There was laughter when we came, and even more laughter when we left.
After returning home, I just made a simple lunch.
Everyone ate a little here and there at the market and was so full that they had no desire to eat anything when they got home.
Ji Sheng looked at Xixi, who had been showing the chicks and ducklings in a small basket to Pingping Kangkang, who knew nothing about anything, and asked, "Are you happy?"
"Happy!"
Xixi put down the basket in her hand, rushed into Ji Sheng's arms and said happily, "Dad, let me tell you, the Yanghe Fair is really lively. They're selling candies, candied haws... and there are even people walking on stilts and singing operas. It would be a pity if Dad didn't go."
Ji Sheng looked at Xixi who was so happy, touched her red and warm little face and said, "Do you want to go again next time?"
"go!"
"Then can mother and I go with you?"
"good!"
As soon as Zhou Yunshu came in, she heard Ji Sheng's promise to Xixi, but Zhou Yunshu couldn't be so sure. After all, she didn't know whether she was at home or went to Heishui Village to do business at that time.
"I can't say for sure, so don't be so happy yet."
Xixi pouted and said, "It's okay, we will wait for your mother."
Zhou Yunshu smiled and said, "Okay then."
While Zhou Yunshu was waiting for news from Yan Shilei and others, Zhan Chuan had already brought the made-up Chunque to Heishui Village.
Heishui Village is right on the edge of the Heihe River, only half an hour's journey away from Heishui Village. It can even be said that Heishui Village and Heishui Village are one and the same.
Who made the leader of Heishui Village, Dai Xingye, a native of Heishui Village? In fact, at least half of the people in Heishui Village are villagers of Heishui Village.
This also means that the people in Heishuizhai can sometimes be bandits and occasionally be civilians. They are very flexible and it depends on whether the government will pursue them or not.
But fortunately, in recent years, whether it is the officials in Dongchuan City or the officials in other places, they all want to get through their term and then be transferred as soon as possible. Few of them want to devote themselves to suppressing bandits and serving the court.
It was because several officials who wanted to serve the court all died tragically in the river.
They are just here to serve as officials, not to die.
As long as the crime doesn't happen in front of them, they can pretend not to know. This way, they can not only keep away from those water bandits, but they may even receive gifts from them occasionally. Why not do it?
The Heishui Village that Zhanchuan brought Chunque to was actually more like a small village, except that this village was on the water. Everyone in the village was familiar with water, so if anything happened, they could just jump into the water and solve the problem.
Those who are not familiar with water can hardly catch them, which is one of the reasons why they are so rampant.
Walking across the wooden bridge and crossing the cable car, Zhan Chuan took Chun Que to the residence of Dai Xingye, the leader of Heishui Village. People they occasionally met on the road would greet Zhan Chuan.
It was obvious at first glance that Zhan Chuan was someone who was not easy to mess with, and during this period of time, he also proved that he was not easy to mess with.
Not to mention that Zhan Chuan is now valued by Dai Xingye, and he might become their second-in-command someday. If he flatters him earlier, he might be able to soar to the sky with him!
Although Zhan Chuan looked fierce and difficult to deal with, he would nod expressionlessly and call out the name of each person who greeted him, which made the person who took the initiative to greet him feel closer to Zhan Chuan.
When no one was around, Chunque looked at Zhanchuan who was serious in front of him and asked, "How can you call out each of their names?"
As Zhan Chuan walked, he said to Chun Que, "Master used this method to teach me how to read before."
Match the name and the strokes of the name with the person, so that you can learn the characters and recognize people at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.
