Xu saw that since her mother-in-law came back, she first went to the kitchen, closed the door and fiddled with something for a while, and then hid in the room for a long time without coming out.
I couldn't help but get anxious. My mother-in-law has never been so abnormal before. What happened? She even hid it from me!
She remembered to ask Shu Niang if anything happened.
Shu Niang thought for a long time and said that the journey was smooth, except that the old lady took a jar of lake water on the way back. There was nothing different.
"I heard from the villagers that Xianshui Town is a cursed place. Is the old lady also possessed by evil spirits? How about we find a Taoist priest to take a look?"
Xu's face turned serious and she stopped him, "What nonsense are you talking about? A gentleman should not talk about strange things. You are not allowed to tell anyone about the affairs of Xianshui Town. It was just a capture of the wind shadow."
Shu Niang also realized that she had said the wrong thing, and she pretended to slap herself in the face, repeatedly promising that she would never say anything nonsense.
After Xu asked her to go down, she turned to the kitchen, prepared a bowl of sugar-water eggs, and brought it to Qiao Xin.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Where do you feel uncomfortable? You haven't had a drink for most of the day since you came back. Your wife laid a few eggs for you to try!"
Qiao Xin took the bowl and said with a smile, "I'm fine. You're thoughtful. Big Boss's wife, if I gave away our family's wealth, would you blame me?"
Xu came forward and sat next to Qiao Xin, and said in a gentle voice, "Mother, what are you talking about? How could your wife blame you? If it weren't for you, our family would still be struggling in Xiaoyao Village. How could we be where we are today?"
The life we ​​have now is something we could never have imagined before. I am content. No matter what decision you make, I believe that my mother must have her own considerations. You don’t need to tell us specifically. I just believe that whatever my mother does is for the good of our family!
What Xu said was true. If Qiao Xin hadn't been so determined to move them, the children in the family wouldn't have survived last year's snowstorm, let alone the adults.
How could it be like now, with enough food to eat, warm clothes to wear, and her son being able to go to school? Her husband has even earned a position as an official.
This is a life that I couldn't even dream of, and every step of the way depends on Qiao Xin's guidance!
Qiao Xin made some decisions that seemed to be at a disadvantage at the time, but looking back after a while, they realized that what they inadvertently gained was far more than what they paid in the first place.
Xu really believed from the bottom of her heart that her mother-in-law was a very wise person. She would just learn from her and do as she was told.
"I feel relieved when you say that. Just go and do your own thing. I'm going to be away for a few days. You have to take care of the house!"
......
Nanny Qin was originally helping to tidy up the shop in Weizhou Prefecture. When she heard that something had happened to the old lady, she was so scared that she ignored everything else and hurriedly hired a carriage to rush back.
When she came back and saw Qiao Xin sitting on the kang, she finally let go of her worries. She wiped the sweat off her head and asked anxiously:
"What's wrong with you? The person who delivered the message didn't explain clearly, so I thought something happened to you?
Qiao Xin waved for her to sit down, and then said, "I really have something I can't make up my mind about. The second brother is not at home, and you are the only one I can discuss it with. Can you give me some advice?"
"What is it?"
Qiao Xin directly took out the things that she had been pounding in the kitchen for half a day in the afternoon and placed them in front of Nanny Qin.
Nanny Qin looked at the white particles on the yellow paper in confusion, wondering: "What is this?"
"Snowflake salt!"
"Salt! How is that possible?" Nanny Qin was so shocked that she could not stand still. She quickly picked up a little with her fingers and put it into her mouth. A salty taste spread in her mouth, without any bitter taste at all.
"It's really salt. This is the first time I've seen salt like this."
She really couldn't believe her eyes. She had been eating salt for most of her life and had seen salt sold in various shops in the capital, but she had never seen salt so white and so beautiful.
Where did Qiao Xin get such a precious thing? Could it be that the old lady was selling illegal salt?
Seeing that he was about to faint, Qiao Xin couldn't help but explain, "Don't let your imagination run wild. I made this myself.
Madam, now there is a large amount of salt that the people of Dajing Country cannot finish eating for three generations and it is placed in front of the Qiao family. What do you think I should do?"
Qiao Xin spoke this explosive news slowly and calmly, which made Nanny Qin dizzy. Her legs went limp and she fell onto the kang!
Nanny Qin, who was always steady, couldn't hold it in any longer. She waved to Qiao Xin, indicating that she needed to slow down.
This matter is really too big. If we are not careful, all the nine clans will lose their lives.
Nanny Qin covered her chest with her hands, she really couldn't stand Qiao Xin's careless behavior.
"Don't lie to me, old lady. Do you know how much salt the three generations of Jing Kingdom have left over?
The salt of Jingguo is all sold from other countries. If you can really get it, the world will change. Where did you get this stuff?"
"Do you think one salt mine is enough?"
Enough, more than enough!
"But how could you tell me such an important thing so lightly?"
"Mammy is also a member of the Qiao family now, so we should share the good times and the bad times together!
I plan to pay it to the national treasury, and I came to you to find out what the saint's reputation is like? See if you think it's worth it?"
Nanny Qin tried to calm herself down and recalled the news she had received in the capital.
He said carefully, "Although His Majesty was born into the royal family, he grew up among the common people. He fought for twenty years to end the civil strife in Jing State, and had more contact with the lower-class people. He is more sympathetic to the difficulties of the people. He is a man of great talent and strategy, and he advocates the people first."
