Ah?
Mrs. Qi didn't expect Yang Haiyan to ask so directly. What should she say?
Seeing her silence, Yang Haiyan smiled slightly: "Mrs. Qi mentioned this, isn't it to tell me who is gossiping, but to make fun of my gossip?" Mrs.
Qi's heart tightened. Mrs. Qin is the wife of the captain. In front of her, how dare she say that she would make fun of the other party's gossip? Isn't this an enemy? Mrs. Qi stammered: "In other words, in other words, you are a spendthrift woman, an old hen that can't lay eggs."
Yang Haiyan still smiled, but her eyes were a little heavy. Although she didn't want to have children for the time being, who else could say that about her? She hated those who were also women but still said that women were not. From ancient times to modern times, there are always such people.
Mrs. Lu comforted her: "Don't take it to heart. The mouth is on other people's bodies, and we can only let them be."
Yang Haiyan smiled: "Some people's mouths are too big. They need to be sewn up so that they won't talk nonsense."
Mrs. Qi shrank in fear. Sewing up the mouth? Sewing with thread? Isn't this too scary?
Seeing Mrs. Qi like this, Yang Haiyan didn't stop. How did Mrs. Qi know those gossips? Did she hear them occasionally? If she heard them occasionally, a decent person would definitely not say such things in front of her. She saw that Mrs. Qi was also a big mouth. Yang Haiyan would not be polite to such a person: "Mrs. Qi, I wonder who told you these things?"
Ah? You want to say it out loud? Mrs. Qi chuckled: "Mrs. Qin, I just heard it by chance, and I forgot who said it." She regretted getting on the carriage and saying this. She saw that Mrs. Qin was definitely not an easy person to get along with, so she shouldn't have spoken so quickly just now.
Yang Haiyan would certainly not let her get away like this, as they still had a long way to go to the county town. Her face darkened: "It seems that Mrs. Qi is taking my gossip as a joke, otherwise she would not be able to tell right from wrong. My husband is at least a captain of the seventh rank. I want to ask Mr. Qi whether it is reasonable for his wife to gossip about her boss's family behind his back."
Mrs. Qi was shocked when she heard this. According to her husband's temper, if he knew about this... she couldn't imagine it. Mrs. Qi immediately said: "Mrs. Qin, I was just talking nonsense, I was just talking nonsense, don't bother with me, I..."
"Private Guard Chen, stop the car."
Chen Dashi stopped the car.
Yang Haiyan said coldly: "Mrs. Qi, please get off the carriage. I don't like sitting in a carriage with people who treat me as a joke."
Mrs. Qi trembled: "I... I..."
Yang Haiyan continued: "When my husband comes back in the evening, I will ask him to visit Qi Baifu. Even if he is not on duty at night, there will always be a time to see him in the camp tomorrow." Meaning, don't run.
Mrs. Qi heard that, the whole person was about to faint: "Mrs. Qin, I..."
Yang Haiyan: "Aunt Fan, pull the person down."
Aunt Fan shouted: "Yes, madam." Aunt Fan is a cook, holding a knife all year round, so she is quite strong. And Mrs. Qi was in a trance, so she easily pulled Mrs. Qi off the carriage.
After Mrs. Qi was pulled off the carriage and the carriage went away, she came to her senses and chased desperately: "Mrs. Qin, please listen to my explanation, Mrs. Qin..." But how can a person with two feet be faster than a carriage with four wheels? In the end, Mrs. Qi was paralyzed on the ground, and it was too late to regret.
Not to mention Mrs. Qi, even Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Lu did not react. It was not until this moment that they really realized that the woman in front of them was the wife of the thousand-man commander, not just the wife of the centurion like them.
Speaking of which, Mrs. Lu felt the deepest, after all, Yang Haiyan had been good friends with her when she first married here. She felt that Yang Haiyan had a good personality, was smart, and was young. Besides, they were both wives of centurions. Later, Qin Fang was promoted, but Yang Haiyan still had the same personality, so Sister-in-law Lu never took Yang Haiyan's identity seriously.
Until this moment, Sister-in-law Lu really faced it. A thousand-man captain and a centurion are different, and a thousand-man captain's wife and a centurion's wife are also different. With just one word, Yang Haiyan drove Madam Qi off the carriage. No, she was pulled off the carriage by the servants. She didn't have such courage. And Madam Qi would be afraid that Qin Fang would go to question her, because Qin Fang was a thousand-man captain and a military officer of the court. But would Madam Qi be afraid that Lu Zhide would go to question her? No, because Lu Zhide and Qi Baifu were both centurions. To put it bluntly, they were just leaders among the soldiers and had no military status of the court.
Mrs. Lu calmed down, and suddenly she had an idea, whether she should tell Yang Haiyan about what she heard that day. Apart from anything else, Qin Fang was her husband's boss, and telling Yang Haiyan would be good for their family. What if Qin Fang became a guerrilla general, then her man would have hope for the vacant position of centurion.
For the first time, Mrs. Lu faced up to the existence of power, and for the first time, she wanted to seek hope for her man. Centurion and centurion, centurion's wife and centurion's wife, a thought flashed in Mrs. Lu's eyes.
The carriage became quiet, and no one spoke from the time Mrs. Qi was dragged off the carriage to the county town. When they arrived at the county town, Yang Haiyan said, "Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Lu, I have to go deliver the goods. Let's separate here and meet here later."
Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Lu had no objection and got off the carriage.
After getting off the carriage, Mrs. Yang breathed a sigh of relief: "I was scared to death in the carriage just now." In addition to being scared, she also felt something else.
Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "That's right." She was also scared.
The carriage arrived at the shop of Ping Zhanggui. As soon as Yang Haiyan got off the carriage, she saw Ping Zhanggui standing at the door: "Shopkeeper, you are here really early."
Ping Zhanggui said: "There are many people in the market today. If there are not enough snacks today, I will ask my servants to say hello to you and increase the quantity tomorrow."
Yang Haiyan said: "Then I wish you a prosperous business."
Ping Zhanggui: "Thank you for your good wishes."
After leaving Ping Zhanggui's shop, Yang Haiyan and Aunt Fan went to the market. During this visit, they bought a lot of things. However, what they bought were not things from peddlers, but things made by ordinary people in Qiguo. For example, the cloth woven by ordinary people themselves, the shoes made by ordinary people, etc., the quality is not worse than that in the shop, and the price is cheaper. After buying a lot of things, Yang Haiyan sent Aunt Fan away and asked her to take the things to the carriage first, and she would wait for her here.
When Aunt Fan came back, she saw Yang Haiyan holding a basket that she had just bought, which contained a lot of things. In fact, many of them were seeds, such as winter melon seeds, cucumber seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc. When these seeds were planted and how they grew, they had to be taken back to the countryside for Niu Da to study. The first time to plant, a small number of experiments were required.
Speaking of which, in the present world, when the grandmother was still alive, all the vegetables in the family were planted by the grandmother, but Yang Haiyan was young at that time, and after a long time, she had forgotten what to plant in what season.
Yang Haiyan’s main purpose of coming here today was to “buy” seeds. After buying them, she followed the aroma and bought a roast duck.
When they got back to the carriage, Mrs. Yang and Sister Lu were already waiting. They didn't buy as much as Yang Haiyan, and they bought things fast, just like fighting a war, so they moved quickly.
Seeing Yang Haiyan coming back, Sister Lu said, "The things in the market are much cheaper than usual."
Yang Haiyan said, "That's right, so it's best to buy things at the market."
Mrs. Yang said, "The things are cheaper, but there are more people buying. For those shopkeepers and stall owners, it's not a loss, they must make more."
Yang Haiyan said, "Small profits but quick turnover."
The term "small profits but quick turnover" sounded unfamiliar, but Sister Lu and Mrs. Yang also understood its meaning.
What happened in the morning seemed to have never happened.
Along the way, everyone occasionally chatted for a few words and then arrived at the family room.
Yang Haiyan: "Aunt Fan, cut half of the roast duck and save the other half for when the adults come back tonight." I don't know if the roast duck in ancient times tasted good, but it smelled very fragrant.
However, when it was time to eat at noon, Yang Haiyan felt that the roast duck in ancient times tasted better than the modern roast duck. Maybe... the roast duck in ancient times was more authentic.
Just after lunch, Chen Dashi, the gatekeeper, came to report that Mrs. Qi was here.
Yang Haiyan raised her eyebrows: "She's here? Please come to the study."
In fact, what Yang Haiyan did to Mrs. Qi today was just to scare her, but she didn't expect her to come.
Mrs. Qi followed Chen Dashi to the main courtyard timidly, and then Chen Dashi turned back to guard the door.
Madam Lian met Mrs. Qi at the main courtyard gate: "Hello, Mrs. Qi, I am Madam Lian who works for my wife. My wife is waiting for you in the study."
Mrs. Qi: "Hello, Madam Lian, please...please lead the way." This was not the first time Mrs. Qi had entered the Qianfu's house. Qi Baifu's boss was also the Qianfu Chang, so she had been to that Qianfu Chang's house. However, it was completely different from the house of Qin Qianfu's family here.
How should I put it? The specifications of the house were the same, but the Qianfu Chang's family was not so particular, and there were not so many servants. When she came in just now, she saw rows of courtyards over there (servants' courtyards). Then there were private guards and madams, and this situation scared her, and her legs were a little weak.
Nanny Lian took Madam Qi to the door of the study: "Madam, Madam Qi is here."
Yang Haiyan said: "Please come in, Nanny Lian, go prepare tea."
Nanny Lian: "Yes."
Madam Qi walked in alone, and as soon as she came in, she saw Yang Haiyan sitting at the desk with a book in front of her. Madam Qi smiled reluctantly: "I have met Madam Qin, you are... reading a book?"
Yang Haiyan said: "Madam Qi, please sit down, I am reading the laws of the Qi Kingdom. Read more laws, you can use the laws to protect yourself, for example, you can know who has offended me and report it directly to the police." Madam
Qi's feet trembled and she almost fell down.
